Chapter 134 Harem accident

"Report to the emperor, memorials from the Ministry of War." The Minister of War came to Fengxian Hall respectfully and presented it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

This time, the Li Shanchang case involved the power of the court and completely changed.

A prime minister, with a high position and power, will make the incumbent person arbitrarily, hide from the emperor, and gather all officials from the emperor, which will be in danger of overthrowing the emperor.

This time, Li Shanchang actually mobilized his troops without telling the emperor, which almost led to a civil war in the Ming Dynasty, and then faked evidence of crime and falsely accused the court of loyalty and kindness.

The evidence was as strong as a mountain. Li Shanchang was taken to prison. After the autumn, he asked to behead him and all the Li family were investigated. At the same time, the emperor ordered the Jinyiwei to arrest Li Shanchang's accomplices, and arrested more than 300 officials in total. Everyone in the court was in danger.

At the same time, the emperor announced that the position of Prime Minister would not be established in the future, and the entire Secretariat would be dissolved. Because of this incident, there were probably thousands of people who lost the officials.

Then, the emperor ordered the power of the six ministries to be increased, and the six ministries were directly responsible to the emperor. All emergency documents were uploaded directly by the six ministries, rather than by the prime minister before, and then given to the emperor.

No one will stare at the position of prime minister anymore, because that position is gone, and there will be no more memorials piled up, and there will be no more prime minister helping to classify them, and they will be left to the emperor for review.

Originally, the emperor had already worked hard enough to review memorials, and it was late at night every day. However, Zhu Yuanzhang was not tired of it. He discovered many mistakes of the officials below, and many cases were once again granted a fair judgment.

The Secretary of the Six Ministry was grateful to Chen Feng because of this matter, the status of the Six Ministry was improved. There would be no prime minister above their heads. There was no need to look at the prime minister's face. They were directly responsible to the emperor.

This time, most of them sent memorials and submitted them directly to the emperor by the Ministry of War. In the past, the Prime Minister had to review them first.

Zhu Yuanzhang opened the memorial and suddenly felt happy on his face.

OK, it's great! Tens of thousands of Tartars have been eliminated. Now, the Tartars have shrunk into Shangdu City. They just wait for the ice and snow to melt in spring to retake Shangdu!

Zhu Yuanzhang has always been worried about the safety of Dadu. Now, when he saw the good news of Dadu, he was immediately delighted.

At the same time, we also saw the news that Zhu Di had arrived in Dadu safely. Because there was no war in Dadu, Chen Feng had already brought Zhu Di back to Dadu.

Zhu Di moved into the imperial palace of Dadu, but he did not live in any other place, just found a house in the palace where Chen Feng lived.

Such a low-key attitude made Zhu Yuanzhang even more happy. If Zhu Di lived in the Golden Palace, even if he sat on the dragon chaise of Tohwantemur, Zhu Yuanzhang would be suspicious.

Moreover, Chen Feng also said in the last sentence of the memorial that he had hired Zhu Di to teach, and he was now asking Zhu Di to learn the Four Books and Five Classics. However, because he did not receive the emperor's promise, Zhu Di had not asked this teacher to call him a teacher.

This is a good thing! When he was in Yingtian, Zhu Di refused to learn knowledge and always practiced martial arts everywhere with bows and arrows. Once, he shot one of two peacocks in the harem. If Concubine Wang had not discovered it early, he would have been plucked out of his hair and stewed with meat.

It seems that letting Zhu Di go to Dadu is really a good move. Of course, I have to send someone to secretly protect Zhu Di, if Chen Feng has a strange intention...

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled again. If Chen Feng had really had a strange intention, he would have been disobedient. Now, Chen Feng has always been very loyal and Li Shanchang was exaggerating.

"Return to Dadu, the Tartars who were stable in Shangdu will create opportunities for our army to attack Helin." Zhu Yuanzhang said to the Minister of War.

"Yes." The Minister of War responded immediately and retreated out.

"Your Highness, Zhu Di, has arrived in Dadu with Prince Chen." On the other side of the palace, a voice said to Zhu Biao in a room.

"Okay, then look for opportunities. Aren't the Tartars there just going to be a serious crime?" Zhu Biao said.

"However, since Zhu Di went to Dadu, he has been staying in Dadu's palace. For the time being, we have no chance."

The sound of the sharp voice and the words seemed to make people feel a little numb. Fortunately, people in the palace have become accustomed to it.

"Then let Zhu Di live a few more months first, hum." Zhu Biao said depressedly. At this time, the wound on his finger had healed, but the wound in his heart had never healed.

After coming out of the room, my father-in-law changed into a slave face, without the momentum of killing people just now.

My father-in-law has walked the road here many times. He was one of the first eunuchs to enter the palace.

However, when you walk today, something seems to be wrong with the road.

After walking a few more steps, he felt his eyes blurry and slowly fainted.

I don’t know how long it took for me to faint, but I felt my brain hurt so I sat up hard and shook my head.

Where is this?

He remembered that he fainted in the corridor. Why are he in the same room now?

The room was a little dark, and he looked around, and suddenly, he was shocked.

In front, a woman was standing upside down at the desk, wearing a palace outfit. When she saw that she was probably a palace maid.

What's going on? My father-in-law stepped forward and pushed the other party: "Hey, where is this? Did you save me?"

My father-in-law thought that after he fainted, the palace maid helped him here, but he had no impression of him.

Thinking of this, my father-in-law pushed her, but unexpectedly, when the push, the other party fell to the ground and blood flowed out of his mouth.

My body is already cold.

dead!

Suddenly, my father-in-law's hair stood up all over his body. What's going on?

It is a big deal to die in the palace, especially now, only I am with the dead palace maid, and no matter what, I can't escape.

Let’s go first! Thinking of this, my father-in-law was full of strength, turned around for a few steps, and walked to the door.

"Cruff." The door was pushed open, but it was not my father-in-law who pushed it.

"Qiu Shuang, the Empress calls you." A voice came from outside, and it was still a palace maid.

Unexpectedly, when the palace maid opened the door, she saw a panicked old man.

The father-in-law ignored her, pushed her away, turned around and left.

"Qiu Frost, Qiu Frost!" At this time, the palace maid had already discovered Qiu Frost lying on the ground and immediately shouted: "Come here!"

My father-in-law didn't run twenty steps, and two guards came in front of me. Seeing my father-in-law like this, he heard the shouts inside and immediately came up and took the father-in-law in a few strokes.

"Yes, it's him! He killed Qiu Shuang!" The palace maid just now ran out and said to the two guards.

Zhu Yuanzhang stretched, and there were not many memorials today, and he finally finished reading so quickly. It seems that he can rest early today.

"Report to the emperor, something happened in the harem. The queen told the slave that if the emperor had finished reading the memorial today, please come over and take a look." Eunuch Liu said on the side.

Something happened in the harem? What big thing could happen? Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Empress Ma was not a bluff, and something big must have happened.

"What's the matter?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"It seems that it was a eunuch who killed a palace maid." Eunuch Liu said, what's the matter? Because Eunuch Liu did not meet him in person, and he could not say anything randomly.

This happened in the harem? Suddenly, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said, "Let's go and see."

"Empress, slaves are wronged, how could they kill people?" A sharp voice said: "I have been in the palace for so many years and have always been loyal and serving the empress..."

"The emperor is here." Eunuch Liu shouted.

Suddenly, everyone in the hall stood up: "Welcome to the Emperor."

Zhu Yuanzhang walked in, looked at Empress Ma and Concubine Wang in front of him, and said, "What's going on?"

The harem was presided over by Empress Ma. Because Empress Ma was too kind, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Concubine Wang to take charge of the punishments in the harem and jointly manage the harem.

Now, the two are working together to investigate the murder case of the father-in-law.

"Your Majesty, today, Chunshuang found Qiu Shuang's body in the bedroom of Qiu Shuang and Chunshuang in a corner of Cining Palace. At that time, Eunuch Tang was coming out from there and was caught by the guards." Queen Ma said.

Qiu Shuang? There are not many palace maids in the harem. Zhu Yuanzhang also remembers that this palace maid was the former palace maid of Concubine Li Shu, and this Tang Eunuch is also the former eunuch of Concubine Li Shu.

Now, this Eunuch Tang killed Qiu Shuang, it is obvious that there is an inside story!

"Concubine Wang, what do you think?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked Concubine Wang.

"Your Majesty, this Eunuch Tang has never pleaded guilty. I think he should be punished. He is too hard-mouthed." Concubine Wang said.

"Your Majesty, the slave is wronged, the slave is wronged!" Hearing Concubine Wang say that he would use torture, how could he bear the old bones like Eunuch Tang? Therefore, he shouted quickly.

"Stop, who told you to speak?" Concubine Wang said, "Come here, slap me twenty first!"

It is also a sin that the master did not let him speak and took the initiative to make noise.

Suddenly, two palace guards stepped forward and fired their bows left and right. The sound of banging was accompanied by the screams of Eunuch Tang.

Twenty mouths were finished quickly. At this time, Eunuch Tang's cheeks were swollen.

"Your Majesty Tang has always said that he was wronged, but he was completely answering the questions." Concubine Wang said.

"Eunuch Tang, I ask you, why did you kill Qiu Shuang?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Eunuch Tang was trembling all over: "Your Majesty, how dare I kill someone? I'm wronged."

"Then why are you in Qiu Shuang's room?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Old Nu, I don't know. Old Nu fainted. After waking up, he was in Qiu Shuang's room." Eunuch Tang said.

The answer was too improper. Even Zhu Yuanzhang knew that it seemed that the donkey was not right. "Then where did you faint?" Zhu Yuanzhang continued to ask. "In the corridor east of the prince's uterus." Eunuch Tang was beaten even more confused and said it.
