I don't know how it happened, but a little maid in the Qing palace died suddenly.
It should have been reported to Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, but everyone in the palace knows that he is no longer the favorite, but the Deputy Eunuch in charge.
So, someone went to see the deputy chief eunuch and told him about it.
Generally speaking, after listening to this matter, he told the visitors how to deal with it. Generally, there is no need to deal with it personally.
But today, after hearing about this, the deputy chief eunuch went to the house where the little maid of honor lived.
After the Taiyi of Taihu hospital came and looked at it carefully, he said: "this..."
"What's the matter, Taiyi?" The deputy chief eunuch asked before he finished.
Taiyi of Taihu hospital replied: "it's not easy to say."
"Then go and say it to the Lord." Deputy director eunuch road.
The Taiyi of Taihu hospital replied, "everything is at your command."
They came to the emperor li Zong, who was disguised as emperor li Zong, and saw that the eunuch Dong songchen, the general manager of the Imperial Palace, was also there.
The emperor li Zong, who pretended to be emperor li Zong, asked the little maid how she died.
"Holy, great things are not good!" Too Hospital of this too cure bows body to answer a way.
After listening to this, the emperor li Zong, who pretended to be emperor li Zong, frowned and said, "it's just a little maid who died. What's the fuss about that?"
"My Lord, the little maid of honor died of the plague." Taiyi way of Taiyi hospital.
After listening to this, the emperor li Zong, who pretended to be emperor li Zong, looked very surprised and asked, "are you sure?"
"How dare I say such a big thing lightly." Taiyi of Taihu hospital replied.
The deputy chief eunuch said, "there are so many people in the palace. If the plague spreads, it will be terrible."
"All the people in the Palace should take special pills, just in case." The eunuch road of the Tai hospital.
He has a way: "in addition to this, I suggest that the people in the Queen's palace stay in the Queen's palace for a month and can't go out."
"Can't even the queen go out?" Asked the deputy chief eunuch.
The eunuch of the imperial hospital replied, "for the safety of all the people in the Imperial Palace, it's best."
"In your opinion, the queen is not imprisoned." Da Nei is in charge of eunuch road.
"How dare you put forward such a proposal," he said
"Don't blame him, Mr. Dong, for the safety of the imperial palace." Deputy director eunuch road.
The eunuch, the general manager of the Imperial Palace, said to the emperor LiZong in a hurry: "in the official family, the old slave thought that the palace of the empress could not be closed."
"Give me your reasons, Mr. Dong." After listening to him, Emperor LiZong said.
Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, said: "the queen is the head of the harem. Many things in the harem need to ask her. If the middle palace of the queen is closed, it will delay things."
"Mr. Dong, what you said is really reasonable." Li Zong emperor road.
After thinking about it, he said, "well, the affairs in the palace will be handled by the deputy chief eunuch for the time being. Mr. Dong, you are familiar with the affairs in the sage's middle palace. During the period when the middle palace is closed, you will be responsible for the affairs in the middle palace."
Originally, he wanted to oppose the proposal of the imperial doctor of the imperial hospital, but he didn't expect to get himself into it. Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the imperial hospital, was a little embarrassed and said, "of course, I will comply with your will
"It's just..." What he wants to say is not enough.
Pretending to be emperor LiZong, he said, "Mr. Dong, just tell me what you want."
"Lao Nu is the general manager of Da nei, and he has some things to do." Da Nei is in charge of eunuch road.
Pretending to be emperor LiZong, he said, "now I have appointed a deputy chief eunuch. Mr. Dong, you went to the Central Palace this month to work for the queen, and the deputy chief eunuch is here. Don't worry about this."
He said so, the eunuch Dong songchen in charge of the imperial palace can not openly oppose the disguised emperor LiZong.
"The old slave will go to the empress for a month." The eunuch Dong songchen, the general manager of Inner Mongolia, was a bit helpless.
After listening to this, the emperor li Zong, who pretended to be emperor li Zong, nodded his head with satisfaction and said, "good!"
Things have been arranged, the eunuch Dong songchen and the eunuch of the hospital left the disguised emperor LiZong.
Only emperor LiZong and the Deputy eunuch were left in the house.
Pretending to be emperor LiZong, he asked, "did you arrange this today?"
"Yes, I did." The deputy chief eunuch replied.
The last time they discussed to control the queen Xie Daoqing, the deputy chief eunuch thought of this method.He first found a doctor and gave him five thousand taels of silver.
The eunuch of the Taihu hospital made a special poison for him and sent it to the Deputy eunuch. For a deputy chief eunuch, it's easy to use this poison to poison a little maid in waiting.
When the little maid died, the eunuch of the famous Imperial hospital brought by the deputy chief eunuch, that is, the eunuch who sent the poison to him, said what he had just said according to the instructions given by the deputy chief Eunuch in advance.
After the eunuch of the Song Dynasty, he went directly from the emperor to play the role of empress Xie.
After hearing the imperial edict of emperor LiZong, Queen Xie Daoqing said that someone must have framed her.
He said to the eunuch Dong songchen, the chief eunuch of the Imperial Palace: "Mr. Dong, now we are just closing our palace in the middle palace. What comes after this is that we should let our palace die in the middle palace."
"Empress, you are too pessimistic. From the old slave's point of view, even if there is something wrong with the identity of the one in the imperial study, he has been in the harem for a short time. I'm afraid he doesn't dare to poison you." The eunuch Dong Song Chen Dao, the general manager of Inner Mongolia.
Queen Xie Daoqing listened and said, "Mr. Dong, you underestimate the one in the imperial study. If the palace is right, the death of the little maid in the middle of the palace has something to do with him."
"Do you mean that he did it on purpose in order to limit your freedom of movement?" Asked Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the University.
Queen Xie Daoqing replied: "nine times out of ten."
"In addition to him, the new Eunuch in charge of the imperial palace is also suspicious." She added.
The eunuch Dong songchen, the general manager of the Imperial College, asked, "empress, in your opinion, what should we do about this matter?"
"Now that Jia Xiang is away, you have to work hard to save the danger of the harem." Queen Xie Daoqing replied.
With that, she whispered in the ear of the eunuch Dong songchen.
After listening to the eunuch Dong songchen, the general manager of the Imperial Palace, he said: "of course, I have no problem with the matter you ordered, madam. But I have no friendship with him on weekdays. I'm afraid I'll go rashly. I don't believe what I said."
There was some truth in what she said. Empress Xie Daoqing wrote a letter in her own hand, sealed it with the seal of Zhonggong, and handed it to the eunuch Dong songchen.
She said, "Mr. Dong, when you see him, you give this letter to him, and he will believe you."
"With your letter from your mother, I will be relieved." The eunuch Dong Song Chen Dao, the general manager of Inner Mongolia.
Empress Xie Daoqing said to the eunuch Dong songchen, "since there is no problem, then you should be ready to see the time and do it."
"In accordance with the order of the empress." Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, bowed himself to answer.
Then he backed out .。
Zheng Huchen, the head of the Imperial Army, and Li Hu, the deputy head of the Imperial Army, were hindered from entering the palace. They had no choice but to go back.
After they had a discussion in the imperial forest army, they felt that they had to go to the Minister of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang, to let him know.
When they came to the Ministry of punishment, they went directly to the office of the Minister of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang, and told him what had just happened at the gate of the palace.
After hearing this, Mr. Wen Tianxiang said, "they are trying to block the connection between the inside and outside of the palace. It seems that they have quickened the pace of action."
"I'm afraid we have to speed up the arrangement." He added.
Zheng Huchen, commander of the Imperial Army, said: "there is one more thing. The final general is also very worried."
"What are you worried about?" The Minister of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang, asked.
Zheng Huchen, the commander of the Imperial Army, replied: "the emperor in the Imperial Palace has given an imperial edict to let the last general be an imperial envoy and go to the local area for inspection. If the last general stays in Lin'an again, they will catch hold of him."
"By then, will they ..?” He asked again.
Mr. Wen Tianxiang replied: "your worry is very reasonable. From now on, you should not show up in public. If there is anything you want to do in secret, you should do it in public. Vice Commander Li should do it."
"You are welcome, my Lord. I will try my best." Li Hu, the deputy commander of the Imperial Army, answered after listening to the arrangement of Lord Wen Tianxiang.
It is said that Li Hu, the deputy commander of the Imperial Army, is the confidant of the prime minister Jia Sidao. In the face of his master Jia Sidao's opponent, he generally refuses to agree.
But at this time, the situation changed. His master, Jia Sidao, was also missing. He needed to cooperate with the Minister of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang. Only in this way can he save his master while saving the real emperor LiZong.
The greatest advantage of a wise man is that he knows when to compromise with his opponent according to the current situation.
Seeing that Li Hu, the deputy commander of the Imperial Army, agreed to his request, Wen Tianxiang nodded and said, "very good.""Deputy commander Li, your father-in-law, Zhang Yihong, the Secretary of the Ministry of accounts, has made friends with Jia Hao. You can go to your father-in-law later and tell him about the situation here. Then, he can help us." He added.
Li Hu, deputy commander of the royal guards, said: "Mr. Wen, it's very thoughtful of you. My father-in-law has been an official in the court for many years. As long as he gives a hand, many people will respond."
"In that case, we have a little more chance of winning." Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment.
He added: "if we want to succeed in this matter, we must contact some reliable ministers. Otherwise, at the critical moment, our momentum will not be as strong as that of the other party and will be overwhelmed."
"You people are so bold that you dare to form a party and plot here. Is it because you want to rebel?" Only a low voice from the foreign affairs office asked.
The Minister of punishment Wen Tianxiang immediately winked at Li Hu and Zheng Huchen.
Two people understand, body shape shaking, opened the door of the room, will rush to the outside to see who is.
At this time, an invisible internal force attacked them.
Each of them retreated a few steps, urged his internal power to compete with it, and the other's internal power suddenly disappeared.
Li Hu and Zheng Huchen quickly stop their internal power, and then they see someone coming from the outside.
This man is the eunuch Dong songchen, the head of the imperial palace.
"It's said that the gate of the palace is closed. You can't go out without the imperial edict. How did you come out?" The Minister of punishment, Lord Wen Tianxiang, asked him to sit down.
He asked again, "did you get permission?"
"To tell you the truth, the old slave slipped out secretly." The eunuch Dong Song Chen Dao, the general manager of Inner Mongolia.
With that, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to the Minister of punishment, Lord Wen Tianxiang.
This is the letter written by Queen Xie Daoqing.
The person the queen Xie Daoqing asked him to come out of the palace to see was the Minister of punishment, Lord Wen Tianxiang.
After reading the letter, Wen Tianxiang said: "Mr. Dong, it's a good time for you to come. Just now we were talking about the two commanders' obstruction in entering the palace."
"It's a bit of a bad situation indeed." The eunuch Dong Song Chen Dao, the general manager of Inner Mongolia.
He added: "the empress ordered me to come to see you. I asked you for help."
"Mr. Dong, go back to protect the Queen's safety first, and say that we have taken action outside the palace, and we will find out in a few days. Please rest assured." Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment.
After hearing this, Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, said, "if that's the case, I'll be relieved."
"Now many people in the palace have taken refuge in him. If they don't see the old slave for a long time, they will doubt it. The old slave will leave and go back to the palace." He added.
With that, Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the interior, left the Minister of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang.
"My Lord, why don't you discuss the details of the action with the eunuch Dong songchen, the general manager of the university?" Asked Zheng Huchen, the general manager of the imperial army.
Lord Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, replied, "he is just a eunuch. We are all officials of the Song Dynasty. What we do is a great event of the court. How can we discuss with him as a eunuch?"
"You know, as a eunuch in the palace, he can't do politics." He accentuated his tone and added.
