In the secret room of Jinxiang Hall, there are only Guo Shao and eunuch Cao Tai.
Cao Tai bowed and stood in front of the chair, and Guo Shao sat on it.
Guo Shao was talking: It is not appropriate for me to do things in the harem, and Queen Duanci had to come forward for this matter.I think that the palace ladies cannot indulge in the palace to spread rumors randomly, and it just happened to let everyone understand some rules by using this matter. Otherwise, the palace ladies would dare to slander the reputation of Empress Duanci...
Cao Tai hurriedly said: Your Majesty is extremely true.
Guo Shao felt that he had understood. In the past, because the Yellow River came out of the stone to curse Jinzhan, and there were people in the palace talking about Fu Jinzhan behind their backs, but it was not easy to punish him openly, otherwise it would be more obvious.
Guo Shao pondered for a moment, took a photo of the military strategy that the general Cao Bin had just presented, and said in a deep voice: I also have to protect Concubine Zhang, she is Cao Bin's concubine.Cao Bin, I am very useful, and I can’t find someone more suitable than him now.Since we wanted to reuse Cao Bin, we ruined his aunt in the palace. What does this mean?
Yes, yes.Cao Tai nodded seriously.
After a while, he carefully reminded: Your Majesty, if you want to protect Concubine Zhang... I am afraid you will really not be able to explain it clearly in the future.
Guo Shao said: Even the ancient emperors, from Qin Shihuang to Emperor Wu of Han and Emperor Taizong of Tang, who would not be scolded?It is really difficult for a person to not scold him at all.Just take it lightly and let others say it. Anyway, I am not afraid of scolding, and I can't do anything to me even if I scold a few words.
After hearing this, Cao Tai said: Your Majesty is wise.
Guo Shao suddenly sighed.He really wants to make this world fair and clearly distinguish between good and evil; but he is also completely ignoring right and wrong for some things.
……
At the gate of Wanfu Palace, a group of eunuchs walked quickly.
The thin eunuch with gray hair walked up and looked up at the person in front of the palace gate.
The eunuch guarding the stairs looked down, and with a uch, he jumped up from the chair and ran downstairs. He accidentally fell on the wall ladder, screaming in pain, and rolled and crawled to the door.
Eunuch Cao!The eunuch bent over and smiled, and his mouth broke out due to pain, and his expression was very strange. Eunuch Cao was here, what wind blows you...
The eunuch Cao Tai looked at the Heavenly Dao: Empress Duanci’s decree.
Everyone hurriedly knelt on the ground.
Cao Tai immediately claimed to be in charge of the imperial edict and came to investigate the rumors.Then he asked the eunuch who guarded Wanfu Palace to go in and arrested the little palace maid who had driven back from the Sanqing Palace and asked questions.
After the palace maid was pulled out, although Cao Tai claimed to have verified it, he convicted her: Someone sued you, fabricated the incident, spread rumors and slandered the reputation of the officials and the concubines of Taizu. Do you know that you are guilty?
The little palace maid was so scared that she couldn't speak, she only knew that she was wronged.
When Cao Tai heard the wrongful accusation, he thought for a moment and said coldly: You said, who can confirm that he saw Concubine Zhang’s clothes were wet with sesame oil?
The little palace maid hurriedly said: Wang Shanggong also knows about this...
Cao Tai immediately sent someone to the Sanqing Palace to call Wang Shang Palace.When Wang Shanggong was asked, he kept saying that I didn’t know anything.
After hearing this, Cao Tai said sternly: What else do you have to say!
The little palace maid was so scared that she knelt on the ground.
Cao Tai said loudly: The royal family is waiting for you, but you like to spread rumors and ruin people's reputation.Sin is unforgivable!Come and beat the miscellaneous family to death!
After hearing this, several strong officials who had already prepared thick wooden sticks, rushed up without saying a word, grabbed the palace maid's hair and dragged it away.
Soon, there were crackling sounds of heavy blows in the distance, and the palace maids screamed in tears, almost the entire imperial city could hear.
Everyone's faces changed color and their mouths were as if they were forbidden.
Cao Tai's expression remained unchanged.Not long after, the palace maid's shouting had subsided, but the sound of sticks hitting the flesh still did not stop.
After a while, Cao Tai walked towards the execution place. He smelled a scent mixed with various smells, frowned, and stretched his fingers to the palace maid's nose to explore.
Then he took back his fingers and turned his head and said: Where is the person he cared about, and asked them to collect the body.All are optimistic!It is a serious crime to spread rumors without any evidence!
……
The screams outside Wanfu Palace, Concubine Li and others could clearly hear every sound.They stayed inside, not daring to make a sound.
When there was no sound outside, everyone was silent for a long time.
At this time, someone came in and reported: The people from the Eunuchs asked us to collect the body.
Concubine Li came to her senses and said, "I asked the eunuchs from Wanfu Palace to carry them out and burn them."
After a long time, a palace woman finally said: This matter should be the official family's intention, and she obviously tends toward Empress Zhang... We have been worried for so long and have thought about any method, but we don't say anything to the person above...
Another sighed: In this world, justice, etiquette, black and white are jokes, but the result depends on what the power wants.
The man just said: Being favored is the king.As long as the emperor favors it, what is wrong to do; if the emperor doesn't care about someone and offends someone, so what if it makes sense?
When Concubine Li heard this, she agreed with her. Zhang always suppressed herself and took all the benefits, just because that woman was even more pleasing to the emperor!
Li swallowed his anger and said in lingering fear: Don’t say anything, the palace maid was killed by the top, and it was a chicken to show the monkey. We have to be more sensible.
It's Ah, but fortunately, I didn't vent my anger on Mrs. Zhang...
A hateful woman, not as good as a bitch!
……
Wang Shanggong also rushed to the Sanqing Palace. When he saw Zhang, he was anxious and said: Congratulations to Empress!
Zhang hurriedly asked: What happened?
Wang Shanggong said: Empress Duanci sent the eunuch Cao Tai from the eunuch and beat the palace maid to death. The charge was for fabricating the incident and falsely accusing him for no reason.There is a saying that someone died here again. Who would dare to say a word about this in the future?
Zhang was stunned, and he just dealt with it so simply?
Wang Shanggong said: Yes.
Zhang sighed and his whole body became soft. She thought it was complicated and serious, but unexpectedly the result was so simple.
She said dejectedly: The palace maid is just committing her own fault. Just slander me, and she also involves the official family. I had long expected that she would not live...
Yes, yes.Wang Shanggong said in a deep voice, Cao Tai asked me today, and I didn't know anything.
Wang Shanggong whispered softly: Empress Duanci has no contact with you, this matter should be what the official family means... As long as the official family respects the Queen, no matter how hard the Queen Li jumps, it will be useless!
Zhang said calmly: The official family is like this... I didn't expect it.Although no one is allowed to say anything, he sent eunuchs to beat people to death. It seems that outsiders are helping me. The officials also took the matter to themselves, and they can't explain it clearly...
At this moment, a female Taoist priest suddenly called out outside the door: Empress, I have something to ask for.
Zhang said: Let’s go in and speak.
The Taoist priest turned over the door and said anxiously: Your Majesty has come to the Sanqing Palace and said he wants to come and ask the Empress for good luck!
Zhang's face turned red, and he hurriedly calmed down, but he could not control the blush on his face.Her mind was blank and she was a little helpless, and she murmured, "What does the official family mean when I see me at this time...
However, she was still very grateful to Guo Shao for helping her stand up, stood up and walked for two steps, then sat in front of the bronze mirror and looked at her hair and face.
After a while, she realized that this action was inappropriate in front of others, so she immediately lowered her face and said: Since the official family is coming, I cannot be rude in disguise.
Sure enough, Guo Shao came in a short while.Zhang walked to the hall outside, feeling extremely nervous and didn't even dare to take a look.
Guo Shao saw that she was blushing and was very nervous between words and deeds.He pondered for a moment and said: I and Concubine Tai have always been polite. It was okay, but when someone told me, I felt uncomfortable.
Zhang raised his head and curled his lips and said: The official is right. He is not afraid of his shadow slanting. Why should I care about those rumors!
Guo Shao was not polite either. He sat down on the cushion. There was still a chess game on the table, and there was still a chess game on the board.
Guo Shao lowered his head to observe. He had just learned some tricks of playing Go a while ago, and the sense of novelty was still there.
Zhang said in a panic: You are rude, forgot to ask Your Majesty to sit down.
She quickly took another cushion and whispered: Your Majesty, put this on, it's softer.
Guo Shao took it casually, and in order to act naturally, he continued to watch the game of chess.After a while, Zhang said again: Are you thirsty? I'll make tea for you.
While drinking tea, she asked again: Is it hot?
Gradually, Guo Shao felt a little happy with such meticulous care.
He finally remembered what he was doing today... and said now: Concubine Tai became a monk and did not have to be in the Sanqing Palace at all times.There is a Taoist temple outside the palace called "Yu Zhenguan", which is also full of female Taoist priests. If Concubine Tai wants to go for a walk, Empress Duanci allows it...
After hearing this, Zhang bit his lips lightly, his chest fluctuated, and his heart almost jumped out, as if he was doing something huge. She whispered: Your Majesty...what is it?
Guo Shao said: In the Taoist temple, you can meet Cao Bin.
Zhang immediately let out a breath and said suddenly: Oh... Then he hurriedly said, Your Majesty has taken good care of me in the palace. I will definitely remind Cao Bin not to forget the holy grace and serve the country well.
Guo Shao said kindly: That's right. I came to visit Qingxu because Tai Guifei lives here, just greetings along the way. In fact, I didn't do anything for Tai Guifei.In recent times, the person who issued the order was Empress Duanci; Empress Duanci respected Concubine Tai in private.
oh?Zhang said unexplained.
Guo Shao said: There is a past incident. The Taoist nun Qingxu saved Empress Duanci before. Qingxu said in front of Empress Duanci that Tai Guifei is very good.
Zhang nodded thoughtfully: So that's it.
She thought to herself, Qingxu was the lord of the Three Qing Palaces, but she never cared about things and did not interact with her. Why did she talk to her in front of Queen Duanci?
Zhang observed Guo Shao's face from time to time, but felt that he was sometimes far and sometimes close, making it difficult to guess his heart.
Cao Tai bowed and stood in front of the chair, and Guo Shao sat on it.
Guo Shao was talking: It is not appropriate for me to do things in the harem, and Queen Duanci had to come forward for this matter.I think that the palace ladies cannot indulge in the palace to spread rumors randomly, and it just happened to let everyone understand some rules by using this matter.
