I Quit Being The Villain - Chapter 176: Reverses
The guard eunuch, surnamed Yang, has been in the palace for 30 years, and his status is not low, second only to Han Renwang and several permanent servants of the inner minister.
He took Li Julu’s memorial, turned around and walked into the palace gate, and walked directly towards the inner servant on the side of Changle Palace.
The Inner Minister Province is known as the fourth province, and it is on the same level as Menxia Province, Zhongshu Province and Shangshu Province.
After the queen came into power, the authority of the inner minister became heavier and heavier. After all, the queen was a woman, and the connection with the outer court was not as convenient as the first emperor, so there were many things.
All need to rely on the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
For example, the memorials sent by the Zhongshu Province must first be submitted to the Inner Minister for sorting. After the Inner Minister is classified, sometimes they will write their own opinions, and then forward them to the Queen Mother.
Therefore, in this dynasty of the Holy Queen, the inner court was also called the inner court.
Han Wang is known as the inner minister, and the authority is so great that it is rare in all dynasties.
After entering the Great Hall of the “140” minister, Eunuch Yang went directly to a pavilion and said respectfully, “Xu Changshi.”
In the pavilion, a middle-aged man with a white face and no beard was reviewing the memorial, and when he saw Eunuch Yang, he didn’t lift his eyelids: “What’s the matter?
The middle-aged man’s name is Xu Wendao, a powerhouse of the Realm’s peak, and one of the ten permanent servants of the Internal Servant.
Among the 100,000 servants in the palace, it is considered to be the pinnacle of existence, second only to Han Renwang, the great eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Now Han Renwang is in the deep palace, Closed Door Training, and he is a regular attendant from the third rank.
And this garrison eunuch Yang Gonggong is exactly his confidant.
Eunuch Yang nodded and said with a smile: “Eunuch Li of the provincial office has just entered the secret book, and asked me to submit the report to the empress immediately. 99
Xu Wendao narrowed his eyes slightly, then his expression was as usual, he nodded and said, “Understood, let’s put it here, I’ll present this note to the empress right away.”5
Eunuch Yang presented the memorial and reminded: “Eunuch Li said that when he sees the empress tomorrow, he will bring it up…”
“He was careful.
Xu Changshi sneered and waved his hand for Eunuch Yang to retire.
In the pavilion, only Xu Changshi was left.
He picked up Li Julu’s secret note in his hand, put it aside, waited quietly, closed his eyes and rested, without any thought of presenting this note to the Holy Queen.
After about two sticks of incense, another inner servant walked into the pavilion with a look of awe: “Changshi, the general secretary of the imperial court has come to Junchen to submit a secret to the goddess! 55
When Xu Changshi heard the words, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and he said lightly: “Then what are you waiting for, submit it directly to the empress.”
The maid nodded and exited the Great Hall again.
He hurried towards Changle Palace.
After waiting for a while, Xu Changshi slowly got up and picked up Li Julu’s secret letter, with a smile that was not a smile on his face.
He laughed at himself: “Yo! Look at my memory, I forgot about Duke Li’s secrets, so let me go personally.
After all, Xu Changshi slowly picked up Li Julu’s memorial, wandered around, and left the inner chamber.
Changle Palace, the Great Hall of the Middle Palace.
Although it was late at night, the Holy Queen was still reviewing the memorials. Although the Great Hall was majestic and lit by thousands of candles, it was empty and had a desolate and solemn atmosphere.
And around the Great Hall, there are a lot of maids in the palace who are respectfully standing there, looking in awe, not daring to come out.
For fear of disturbing the Queen’s thoughts.
At this moment, a servant hurriedly walked into the Great Hall, walked quickly to the Queen Mother and knelt down, and the secret of the future Junchen was held high above his head.
“Niangniang, general secretary of the imperial court has come to Junchen to report a secret report!
The queen raised her head and said lightly, “Bring it up. 99
A maid beside the queen picked up the secret book in the hand of the waiter and presented it to the queen respectfully.
After the saint opened it, her face turned gloomy.
Because of this secret, it is exactly what happened in Guozijian this evening!
Actually, there are scholars who dare to gather a crowd to make trouble, and they are going to come to Changle Palace tomorrow to force the palace, return the power to the emperor, and ask the emperor to govern himself!
A trace of murder flashed in the eyes of the Holy Queen, these scholars are courting death!
If you really are the Changle Palace, don’t you dare to do something to the Imperial Supervisor?
However, what the Empress Saint Lai really cared about was the last sentence written by Lai Junchen in the memorial.
“Li Yushu, the grandson of Li Julu, is also in the Guozijian, suspected of being in the crowd.
The Empress Saint saw this sentence, her eyes gloomy.
However, she did not immediately believe that Li Yushu had anything to do with this matter.
After all, the emperor is a puppet now, and the queen does not believe that Li Julu would be so unwise to support an emperor who is destined to have no hope.
But even so, there is still a trace of suspicion in the heart of the Holy Queen…
Maybe Li Julu won’t support the emperor, but he may not sympathize with the emperor. After all, Li Julu is a veteran of the three dynasties, and he has received the kindness of the Yang family.
She asked lightly, “Has Li Julu submitted a memorial?”
The servant shook his head and said, “I don’t know this servant.
At this time, Xu Changshi also walked into the entrance of the Great Hall of Changle Palace. He made a hurried look and stepped into the Great Hall in a hurry.
But at this moment, there was no expression on the Queen’s face, and she said lightly: “Bring it up.”
Xu Changshi said with a smile: “The slave servant just received Duke Li’s letter, and he didn’t dare to neglect, so he sent it over in person.
The Holy Queen took Li Julu’s secret book, and what was written on it was exactly what happened in Guozijian, and it was clear that his own grandson Li Yushu happened to meet.
I immediately went home and told him about it, and I immediately wrote a memorial.
You can see the sincerity of the Holy Queen.
The saint looked at it expressionlessly, and there was a gloomy look in his eyes.
If she was the first to receive Li Julu’s memorial, she would naturally not doubt Li Julu’s loyalty, and would reward him.
But now she first received Lai Junchen’s secret message, and then received Li Julu’s.
Immediately after this, things changed…
Lai Junchen said that it was Wutai who received the secret report and went to the Guozijian for an undercover investigation to discover the matter, and wrote the secret report and submitted it.
0.1 The time used for these is definitely more than the time Li Julu knew.
But why did Lai Junchen bring it up first?
Then there is only one willingness.
That is, after Li Julu learned about the news of Guozijian, he did not write a memorial for the first time.
Rather hesitant.
What is he hesitating about?
For the high-ranking people like the Holy Queen, the most feared thing is the infidelity of the courtiers, especially the courtiers like Li Julu who she single-handedly rehabilitated.
Loyalty is not absolute, is absolute disloyalty!
Even the Holy Queen is guessing in her heart.
Did Li Julu find out that this matter had been known to Wutai, and this is why he hastily wrote a secret note, trying to separate himself from Guozijian and make up for it?
The queen sneered, threw Li Julu’s memorial to the side, and said lightly: “Call Han Shizhong over…”
When Xu Changshi heard the words, his heart trembled slightly, knowing that this Guozijian was probably going to bleed into a river…
The Han people hope that this inner servant and provincial servant has always been known for his ruthlessness and ruthlessness.
Even Lai Junchen, a well-recognized cruel official in the Manchu Dynasty, had to bow down in front of Han Renwang, and after a while…
The witchcraft case four years ago made Lai Junchen ‘become famous’.
But many people have forgotten that seventeen years ago, on the night when the late emperor died, the blood in the imperial capital was flooded with blood, and almost all the officials of the Manchu Dynasty slaughtered the whole family.
The mastermind behind the scenes is this Han Shizhong.
Known as the most trusted loyal dog of the Holy Queen!
Xu Changshi left in a hurry, and in the Great Hall, many of the servants and palace maids looked at each other in dismay, not daring to let out the air.
The Holy Queen Mother, on the other hand, looked at the two-part performance of Jun Chen and Li Julu in her hands, and her phoenix eyes were full of gloomy colors…
After half a column of incense, the smiling Korean looked, bent down and walked into the Great Hall of Changle Palace, and said with a smile, “My lady summoned the old slave, I don’t know why? 39
The sage was expressionless behind him, and in the future, Junchen and Li Julu’s memorials were all thrown to the Han people.
Han Renwang took the 26 tunes over, glanced at it briefly, and then his eyes narrowed slightly.
He pondered for a moment, then asked, “Dare to ask your maiden, who came first when you heard from Junchen Lai and Duke Li?”
The queen said lightly: “Lai Junchen will play the secret first.”
Hearing the words, the Koreans moved their eyes slightly, but their faces remained calm, but changed the subject and said lightly: “These imperial guards have ulterior motives and make rash comments about the origin of the country.
I see that these scholars have been bought by the King of Qin. 35
The Queen said: “Tonight, you will bring people to the Imperial College, and put all these scholars into the imperial prison, and they will be interrogated strictly!”‘”
However, Han Renwang smiled and said with a smile: “The old slave thinks it’s better to let them make trouble tomorrow.
Now if you go to arrest people, you can only arrest the first evil person. As for whether there are other people who are not satisfied with the empress, no one knows.
And when they make trouble tomorrow, they will be able to catch them all.
The Korean looked with a smile on his face, but what he said made people shudder.
This big eunuch is really cruel!
The Queen heard the words, looked at the Korean, and nodded: “That’s fine.”
The sage looked at Li Julu’s memorial again, and said lightly: “If you order to go on, it is Li Yushu, Li Julu’s grandson, who will accuse the imperial guards of conspiracy. 99
The Koreans sighed slightly when they heard the words. ad.m
It seems that this is the Holy Empress beating Li Julu.
It’s just that since then, Li Yushu’s reputation has been completely stinky…
But this is none of his business, Han Renwang smiled and nodded: “Old slave understands. 35
In the early morning of the second day, the imperial capital was as quiet as ever, but in the imperial capital of the imperial capital, a storm was coming.
Zhao Gaoqiu, dressed in white, stood in front of the gate of the Piyong Hall of the Imperial Academy, tall and straight as a pine tree.
In front of him, several hundred scholars stood.
This number is not as many as last night, but obviously after a night, many people have calmed down a lot, and they are afraid and do not come.
But these hundreds of years of scholars, eyes are extremely firm.
Zhao Gaoqiu said in a high voice: “A man stands upright in the sky, he does not back his lord, and he is worthy of the people, how can I stand by and watch when my son is weak today.
You all come with me to the Changle Palace, and I would rather the Holy Queen return to rule the Son of Heaven!”
Go together, go together!
All the disciples shouted.
Immediately after that, Zhao Gaoqiu led the hundreds of scholars to leave Guozijian in a majestic manner, and headed for Changle Palace in a mighty manner.
Along the way, pedestrians looked at the hundreds of scholars in amazement.
What’s going on here?
And some scattered scholars joined in, shouting: “Three hundred years of the state’s support of scholars, the festival of justice and death is today!”
When the team arrives at the Azure Dragon Square, there are already thousands of scholars!
The Azure Dragon Square is the location of the various yamen palaces in the imperial court. It was just dawn, and many officials were still on their way to the yamen when they saw such wonders.
Some officials inquired curiously and learned the purpose of this group of scholars.
Suddenly changed color.
Of course they know, what are the consequences of doing so?
Courting death is not such a way to die.
Many officials avoided it like snakes and scorpions, and took a detour, fearing that they would provoke this group of people and set them on fire.
Some well-meaning officials couldn’t bear to see these scholars die in vain, and they persuaded them well, hoping that they would be persuaded to go back before things became serious.
In this case, there is still room for manoeuvre.
But the scholars who were already incensed, whose minds had already been heated with pride, scolded these officials endlessly, calling them disloyal and unfilial treacherous officials.
Then he left arrogantly, as if he didn’t want to be with them.
There are also some young officials, especially the officials of the Censor’s Office, most of them were born in the Imperial College, and their spirit has not dissipated.
Seeing that the younger generation were so unafraid of life and death, they also became enthusiastic and joined the team of scholars.
By the time they approached Changle Palace, the team had already reached several thousand people.
And the silence that the imperial court has always maintained makes the scholars even more excited, and even some officials are a little surprised.
Could it be that the court really intends to return the emperor to power?
For a while, near the Changle Palace, the voices of the scholars resounded: “The Son of Heaven is in charge!
Governing God!
Tens of thousands of officials poured into the square of Changle Palace, and in front of the gate of Changle Palace, thousands of Nanfu troops were already heavily guarded, their swords unsheathed, and they stared blankly at the scholars.
At the gate of the palace gate, an old man with a white face and no beard, with his arms tucked into his cuffs, smiled and looked at the mighty willing scholar.
It is the inner servant and the provincial servant, the Korean people hope!
Many officials turned pale when they saw Han Renwang.
Han Renwang was called Han Rentu by the people in the court. They all knew his name. The eunuch in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was hated even more than 140 cruel officials Lai Junchen!
Did this one show up?
But the scholars didn’t know Han Renwang. After all, they were not members of the court. They had only heard of it, but had never seen it before.
I thought Han Renwang was just an ordinary palace servant!
Several scholars said loudly: “The emperor is old and does not want to govern, so he has a speech.
Now if Fuzi is clear, the thief will solve it without discussing it!”
I have to say that although these scholars were naive, they also thought of a reasonable excuse.
It is said that the emperor is old, but he is not in charge of the government, the whole world is worried, and all the villains have evil intentions.
Of course, this villain refers specifically to the king of Qin who is eyeing tigers.
If the Son of Heaven was in charge, then the King of Qin would naturally have no excuse to go south to the imperial capital, and the world would be stable.
The Korean nodded with a smile, and then said: “Why are you talking about the country’s origin, trying to alienate the family of the emperor and empress, and making the court turbulent, what is your intention?”
The scholars were stunned for a moment, and then they argued: “There is no selfishness, only the blood of loyalty to the king!”
Although Han Renwang still had a smile on his face, the smile was so sinister and vicious, he said lightly: “You are clearly a spy sent by the King of Qin, intending to confuse the government!
Now I want to attack the Central Palace, intending to rebel!
Our family tells you that your treasonous act has already been reported by Li Yushu, the son of Li Julu, Li Gongzi, and everything is already under the control of the goddess! 35
All the officers and men of the Nanfu Army will kill all these rebels who have no king and no father, and those who dare to resist.
Kill without mercy!”
