During the small election, the four concubines finally finished copying the scriptures. Before they had time to be happy, they found that Chu Xiang had eliminated the people they had arranged for the palace, and many of their eyeliners in the palace had been released under various names palace.
For a while, they seemed blind and deaf, and there was no source of news in the palace.
Chu Xiang made such a big move, and the four concubines went to the Taihe Palace together to ask for an explanation as soon as they discussed it. Concubine Xi's father is the Minister of the Household Department, and has more power than Chu Xiang's father in the court. He has never been afraid of her, and once he sees Chu Xiang, he will carry out her arrogant and domineering temperament to the end.
"Imperial Concubine, if you don't know how to handle palace affairs, why don't you give up the Phoenix seal, and don't make random arrangements to make the harem restless."
Since Chu Xiang became a "favorite concubine", she has not followed the rules, so she can be as comfortable as possible. At this time, she was wearing soft and loose clothes, reclining in the soft chair, drinking hot milk slowly. Although they were dressed in a weak and harmless attire, they were not at all overwhelmed by their four concubines in exquisite palace attire. On the contrary, they felt calm and relaxed, and everything was under control.
Chu Xiang didn't even raise his eyelids, and said in a calm tone: "Concubine Xi has been in the palace for a year now? This rule is still not learned well. Hongrui, tell Nanny Qin to take two people to teach the rules in Concubine Xi's palace. Don't come out, otherwise you will lose the face of the royal family and the Qi family."
This means that Concubine Xi has no family education. Concubine Xi stared incredulously and said: "The imperial concubine is so majestic, is she looking at the harem without a master, and bullying me to be lower than you?"
The other three concubines looked at each other. Concubine Li couldn't hold her breath for a while, and said in a sour tone: "The imperial concubine is now favored by the emperor, so I don't care about my younger sisters. I'm afraid that we will hinder the imperial concubine by coming here today." eyes."
Chu Xiang's stay in the harem is only temporary, and he has no interest in intrigue with them, but he will not make so many enemies for the Chu family. Concubine Xi's family had to fight against the Prince Regent, and she had no intention of taking care of the other three concubines. Seeing Concubine Li say this now, she smiled and said: "I like people who are interesting, what kind of status and what kind of things they do, and if they do it right, why should they be an eyesore? Concubine Li is so beautiful, Just putting it there is pleasing to the eye, so let's stay and have dinner with Ben Gong today.
Concubine Hui and Concubine Jin Xijing, let's go back earlier to have some fun. Since the emperor has handed over the affairs of the palace to me, then I have the final say. If you have any objections, just go to the emperor and tell the emperor. As long as the emperor gives an order, I will definitely not dare to disobey. "
Chu Xiang waved his hand, and Hongrui and Qingzhu stepped forward to ask them to leave. Concubine Hui and Concubine Jin are arrogant people. Seeing this, they stopped entanglement and left with ugly faces, ready to go to Xiao Yuanzhao's side Think of ways to. Since imperial concubines use their status to suppress others, they can only fight back after being favored by the emperor, otherwise they will only be punished like Concubine Xi.
Of course Concubine Xi refused to obey, but Chu Xiang only said "Nurse Qin is the emperor's man", and Concubine Xi couldn't resist anymore. At the same time, she was also very surprised. She just copied the scriptures for a few days, but Chu Xiang was able to command the emperor's people? The emperor really fell in love with Chu Xiang
She troubled Chu Xiang just to test the depths, but now that she saw Chu Xiang was so stubborn, she stopped and planned to talk to the regent. It's a shame that Chu Xiang released the people she sent letters from the palace, and she couldn't send any news for a while.
She wondered if the emperor had found out about her connection with the regent, otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that he released all the people on the line that sent the news
But she sent someone to inquire about the situation in the palace, and after careful analysis, she felt that it was not the case. Chu Xiang released many people, some were related to their four concubines, some were related to the concubines who were favored in the past, some were not outstanding in various positions, and some had no special status at all. It seems that a large number of people were randomly selected to make room for the new maids entering the palace.
So she prefers that Chu Xiang took advantage of the fact that there were not many concubines in the harem and there was no queen, so she arranged a large number of her own people into the palace. In this way, no matter how many concubines there are in the palace in the future, Chu Xiang will have the most people available.
Anyone who takes power in the palace will want to do this, but no one will do it because it is impossible to succeed. But it was such a coincidence that all four of them copied scriptures and couldn't care about the small election, and Chu Xiang happened to be in the eyes of the emperor, so he did whatever he wanted in the harem.
She had to admit that Chu Xiang's timing was too accurate, and the right time, place and people made her helpless. However, Xiao Yuanzhao was busy with government affairs, so he refused to see them. She wanted to go to Xiao Yuanzhao to give Chu Xiang eye drops, but she couldn't do it, and there was no way to complain.
Chu Xiang used the Qiankun mirror to see Concubine Xi's expression changing in the brain, and then held her breath to learn the rules from Nanny Qin, and felt quite happy. She has been an ordinary person for a long time, and her temper is really much better than when she was a demon cultivator. At that time, if someone dared to question and mock her in front of her, she might turn into ashes in the blink of an eye. Now she can still see it as a joke, and she feels that she has become kinder.
But of course she also knew that this kindness was only her self-proclaimed, Concubine Xi would definitely not think so. But she wanted to be like this, she was too lazy to quarrel with them every day and play tricks, no matter what tricks they had, she just tried her best to beat the odds. Anyway, the emperor needs her now, if she didn't bully others, she would be sorry for the emperor's favor.
In a small election, Chu Xiang changed many people in the palace, and even sent Hongrui and Qingzhu out of the palace, and replaced them with Ziyu and Ziyue sent by the Chu family, both of whom were outstanding slaves of the Chu family. After only three days in the palace, he found out the situation in the palace, and he was able to do things with ease, so Chu Xiang didn't have to worry at all.
Chu Xiang's actions made the regent very unhappy. The assassination he had arranged for a long time before was destroyed by Chu Xiang. He had no choice but to push out a few of his own people to take the blame, which had already damaged his power. Now the chess piece he placed in the palace has also been pulled out by Chu Xiang. If it hadn't been found out that Chu Xiang was just a large number of people who changed the palace and happened to replace him, he would have thought that Chu Xiang was deliberately targeting him.
At the beginning, he supported the emperor to take the throne instead of himself because he wanted a good reputation. He controlled the harem and hoped that the emperor would die, become disabled, or be fatuous in another name, so that he could be enthroned as emperor in a legitimate way.
As a result, the arrangement of the harem was completely ruined. For several days in succession, the regent had a dark face in the court, and his subordinates also targeted Chu Shangshu.
However, Chu Shangshu got Chu Xiang's words, knew that the emperor wanted to promote him, so he naturally had to behave well, and arranged for people to sue the family of Shangshu's family for crimes, including loan sharks, selling officials, and forcing good people to death.
When Xiao Yuanzhao sat on the dragon chair and heard someone report these things, he glanced at Chu Shangshu without any trace. Chu Xiang asked Chu Shangshu to target the Qi family for a few days, and Chu Shangshu got so many criminal evidences, it seems that he can do more than he showed. In other words, he was collecting useful criminal evidence before, and only waited for the opportunity to release it.
No matter which one it is, so many criminal evidences are enough for Qi Shangshu to drink a pot, and if the family is not strict, he can't escape.
Qi Shangshu didn't expect Chu Shangshu to point his sharp sword at him, and suddenly be so bold, from wise and safe to aggressive. He was unprepared, and naturally couldn't explain clearly to Xiao Yuanzhao's inquiry.
Xiao Yuanzhao glanced at the regent's ugly face, and said with a low face, "Qi Shangshu is not strict in governing the family. He connives at the children of the family to oppress the people, sell the official position, and endanger the court. From now on, I will think about it in the mansion..."
Before Xiao Yuanzhao finished speaking, the Regent interrupted him, "Your Majesty's words are wrong. The offenders are members of Qi Shangshu's family, and they deceived Qi Shangshu. Qi Shangshu is busy with the affairs of the court every day. How can he know about them?" A private act? The emperor's punishment like this may chill the hearts of the courtiers."
Chu Shangshu took a step forward and cupped his hands, "The regent is worrying too much. The ministers are loyal to the emperor to obey the destiny. They dare not have the slightest selfishness, and they will not be chilled because the emperor thinks about the people. Otherwise, what face will the ministers have?" To be an official?"
Uncle Chen Yushi made an excuse: "Yes, courtiers are role models for all people. If you can't manage your own family well, how can you do things for the court? Do things for the people? If Qi Shangshu neglected the family rules just because he was busy with business, then I think that Qi Shangshu is too heavy to take on the responsibility of Minister of the Ministry of Households, so it is better to change to a lighter job, so that both government affairs and family affairs can be combined, wouldn't it be beautiful?"
These two people are the people Xiao Yuanzhao can trust with all his heart now. With them singing together and sending the regent back, Xiao Yuanzhao felt much better. Those who can live there, Qi Shangshu may not be able to take up the post of Minister of the Household Department. What does the Regent think?"
The regent's face turned blue. They had finished talking, and the evidence of the crime was also there. If he refuted it again, wouldn't he just be messing around? They set him up in public, but he didn't expect that the Chu family would really dare to stand in line and oppose him with no eyes.
He glanced at Chu Shangshu with deep eyes, and said coldly: "Since the emperor has made a decision, this king has no objection."
Everyone could hear his displeasure, but Xiao Yuanzhao did not comfort him like before, but looked at Chu Shangshu with satisfaction and said: "Aiqing has both talents and virtues, and the children he taught are also wise and brave. That's it. Then Aiqing will take over the position of Minister of the Household Department to sort out the accounts of the past three years, and you will be given another three months to recover the funds lent by the treasury without any mistakes."
"Yes, I obey the order." Chu Shang was still indifferent in writing, neither surprised nor happy, but it made many people pay attention to him. This person used to be quiet, but he didn't expect to become a blockbuster. First, his daughter became a favorite concubine after saving him, and then his son became a close minister of the emperor. Even he himself squeezed out Qi Shangshu and seized the court's purse.
The new official took office three fires, and the emperor ordered him to sort out the accounts. In the future, the approval of the money needed for the operation of various departments must be strict. If there is nothing to do, you have to find something. Which department dares to show Chu Shangshu face? I'm afraid everyone has to respect him. Compared with the situation where he was almost ostracized in the Ministry of Rites, it's really different every day.
For a while, some people regretted, why didn't they have a daughter like Chu Xiang? If one person is favored, the whole family will gain power!
Xiao Yuanzhao was very happy to get rid of Qi Shangshu. He had been secretly eliminating the power of the regent during this time, paving the way for getting rid of Qi Shangshu, but the actions of the Chu family still helped him, cooperating with him openly and secretly. It became a thing.
He was going to celebrate with his concubine, and it would be even happier to see her concubine's inconsistency at this time.
