After seeing them off one after another, Wen Qingzhu stood at the door and looked in the direction of Qianyuan Palace.
She asked Lu Tao beside her: "Your Majesty and Miss He, what did you see?"
Lu Tao recalled carefully. When the two met, the emperor was very polite to her, cared about her diet, and rewarded her with a bunch of hairpins and clothes.
"The emperor is good to Miss He, probably because of the person recommended by the princess. Miss He seems to be a little attracted to the emperor."
Wen Qingzhu pursed his lips and smiled: "I think so too. If the emperor reacts like this, he probably doesn't understand whether I want to use He Xianxian to manipulate He Zhui, or whether I want to give him and He Xianxian a chance."
"If the emperor were more familiar with the princess, he would probably understand that the princess has both." Lu Tao smiled helplessly.
The two of them turned around and went back together. The night was getting darker and Jiang Yuanhan from Qianyuan Palace was tossing and turning and couldn't sleep.
He got up and went to Zhao'er's yard.
Zhao'er was resting originally, but Jiang Yuanhan came too quickly and she had no time to cover her eyes.
Looking at Jiang Yuanhan, he immediately froze.
In an instant, a trace of ink appeared in her eyes again.
Seeing her reaction so fiercely, Jiang Yuanhan immediately took out the handkerchief and stepped forward, quickly covering her eyes.
"Sit down." Jiang Yuanhan gently helped Zhao'er to the table.
The moment he touched her, Zhao'er shuddered all over. When Jiang Yuanhan let go of his hand, his heart suddenly became empty.
"What did you see just now?" Jiang Yuanhan's voice brought her back to her thoughts.
Zhao'er wrung his hands uneasily and said in a low voice: "In a short time, there will be many more women around the emperor."
"Woman?" Jiang Yuanhan suddenly thought of He Xianxian he met today, and felt disgusted in his heart.
However, he is not impulsive, and the current situation of recruiting children is a bit special.
I don't know if it was because of their intervention, but nothing happened to Imperial Physician Gan and Changsun Linlang.
Out of caution, Jiang Yuanhan asked again: "What kind of woman can you describe to me as best you can?"
Zhao'er recalled the scene just now and began to describe it carefully.
After finishing speaking, Jiang Yuanhan fell into deep thought. What Zhao'er meant didn't sound like a draft.
Jiang Yuanhan was confused and stood up: "You have a good rest, I will leave first."
Zhao'er stood up to see her off. After waiting for a while, she heard the door being closed. Then she took off her handkerchief and looked at the door blankly.
After a long time, a palace maid asked outside the door: "Do you want to stop recruiting beauties again? My servant can come in and help you put out the lamp."
Zhao'er came to his senses, responded, turned around and went to lie down on the bed.
Pulling down the curtain, while the lights outside were not extinguished, she lay on her side, holding Jiang Yuanhan's handkerchief in her hand, and slowly clenched it.
As the lights outside went out, she closed her eyes.
For the first time, I had an extravagant wish in my heart: It would be great if the emperor could like me, even a little bit.
In the next few days, everything was calm in the court hall, but outside the palace, there was a tremor.
The Shenxing Department discovered several incidents of underreporting the population. Wen Qingzhu directly ordered the houses to be ransacked, the women to be sold as maids, and the men to be exiled thousands of miles away.
This thunderous method quickly stirred up a thousand waves.
Many people began to panic. Except for those who reported their population seriously, the rest began to panic and couldn't help but start looking for a way out.
For a time, Wanjia and Fengguo Temple became everyone's first choice.
Fengguo Temple was okay. After all, it was a pure place for Buddhism. Huixin had to refuse such visitors as the host.
He appeared for the first time, and the emperor's imperial edict was subsequently sent to Fengguo Temple.
Forced to do anything, Huixin became the youngest abbot of Fengguo Temple.
But just because his identity was recognized by the emperor, Huixin ordered no outsiders to be seen, so no one could really break through the monks' defense line.
But the Wan family was different. Wan Ze was an official in the court. Although he was not qualified to go to court, he always had to go to the Yamen.
In the first day or two, these people were very reserved, and Wanze was still able to refuse.
Starting from the third day, Wanze was suddenly blocked in the alley and knelt down to beg for mercy.
"Master Wan! Please, for the sake of your grandfather, save our family!"
The reason why he was able to block it was because there were more than ten people kneeling in front of him.
The boy opened the curtain. Even though Wan Ze had been prepared, he was still startled by the scene in front of him.
Except for the uncle who had been promoted by his grandfather, his old mother who was over sixty years old came over and knelt down.
It's not that Wan Ze doesn't want to help, it's because he knows Wen Qingzhu's temper that he doesn't dare to help at will.
After looking in front of him, he could only step forward to support him: "Uncle, please send your family back quickly. After you have settled your family, your nephew will go to your house in person. Is that okay?"
The man burst into tears of joy: "Thank you nephew! Thank you nephew!"
After finally sending these people away, Wanze turned back to the sedan and sat down, thinking in his mind, what on earth did the princess want to do
As the sedan was lifted, Wanze's eyelids suddenly jumped.
He couldn't help but ask: "Is there anyone else blocking the front?"
In order to hide from those who were looking for him, he had almost circled the capital. He wouldn't be discovered again, right
The boy outside replied: "Master, don't worry, no."
Wanze breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he really wanted to have a good talk with Qingmei when he got back.
When he arrived at the door of his house, he saw a continuous stream of cars stopping, and people were delivering things to their house.
This frightened Wanze to the point that his heart was hanging in a knot.
I hurried back home and saw my mother counting the books with a smile.
"Mom! What are you doing!" Wanze's lips trembled as he saw all kinds of treasures in the house.
Xia said nonchalantly: "The princess is also your sister. She is now in a high position and is very powerful. She can't give it to high-ranking officials, so I can't stop you from collecting these treasures, right? I bought these with money, and they were not given directly by others. .”
"Where's Madam!" Wan Ze turned to leave.
Xia suddenly stood up, pointed at him and shouted: "Stop! I have asked her to shut up and think about her past! I will take over the family affairs again, and this is what your grandmother agreed to!"
After Wan Ze heard this, he quickly left regardless of what she said.
As soon as we arrived in the yard, a woman in coquettish clothes came over to her. Her voice was charming to the core: "Master is back. I will help you change your clothes and wash up."
"Aren't you pregnant? Why are you still putting makeup on your face? If you hurt the baby, don't blame me for being rude!"
Wan Ze finished speaking coldly, rolled up his sleeves and left.
The charming woman clenched her palms tightly, trembling with anger, and secretly swore in her heart that if she couldn't get rid of that woman, then she would get rid of the little bitch!
When he arrived at the house, Wan Ze heard Wen Qingmei's choked sobs and his daughter's consoling voice, clearly enduring the pain.
"Mom, don't cry. I'm not afraid. I won't go to my grandmother's house from now on."
When these words came out, Wen Qingmei cried even louder.
Wan Ze stood at the door, staring blankly at the little girl inside. Her fair face was suddenly tied with a circle of bleeding gauze.
"Dad!" Nannan shouted immediately when she saw him.
Wen Qingmei looked back, her tears stopped instantly, her eyes were full of determination: "I want to take my daughter away!"
"Mei'er!" Wan Ze walked in quickly.
Soon a quarrel broke out in the house, and Wen Qingmei left the Wan family with the woman and returned to the Xue Mansion.
The news quickly spread to the palace, and Wen Qingzhu immediately wanted to go out and see his daughter in person.
Suddenly I remembered that Dr. Gan had not left the palace for a long time. Now the capital was in chaos. Maybe those behind the scenes could be caught
Wen Qingzhu turned around and appointed Dr. Gan to leave the palace to visit Wen Qingmei and her daughter.
She sat in Huaqing Palace and invited her eldest grandson Linlang to come over. The two of them played chess and waited.
"How are you, Mr. Changsun, recently?"
"With the help of Dr. Gan, I'm much better."
Wen Qingzhu raised his eyes and looked at her. When Linlang talked about Imperial Physician Gan, there was uncontrollable joy in his eyes.
"Then did your grandfather urge you to get married?"
Linlang didn't know what happened before, but some recent movements made her vaguely aware of something.
She said cautiously: "Does the Emperor want to grant a marriage?"
Wen Qingzhu looked at her with a smile: "Let nature take its course."
The eldest grandson Linlang breathed a sigh of relief, okay, okay, she likes Dr. Gan, but he may not marry her.
If the emperor offered marriage, he would certainly not be able to refuse.
But she doesn't want this.
About an hour later, Lu Tao came in and reported: "Princess, Imperial Physician Gan has returned to the palace. On the way back, he encountered an out-of-control carriage and was slightly injured."
As soon as these words came out, eldest grandson Linlang immediately stood up and said goodbye.
Wen Qingzhu didn't stop her and let her go. Lu Tao then whispered: "Still didn't catch her."
After saying this, Wen Qingzhu's eyes darkened slightly: "This is the second time, can they still not catch him? This time, the secret guards, Fu Jiajun, and people from the Shenxing Department are acting together."
"They had already taken poison before they took action, and they died from the poison after they failed." Lu Tao lowered his head.
After receiving this result, Wen Qingzhu pinched his eyebrows. Even though they had done this twice, they still found nothing.
Wen Qingzhu suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the night outside, and said solemnly: "We can't go on like this!"
The next morning, according to the information he had obtained earlier, Wen Qingzhu immediately went into trouble and arrested dozens of his bosses of lower and middle-level officials on the spot.
Only a top boss like Shangshu, Wen Qingzhu, did not take action.
The court was silent. Wei Ziying stopped talking and just stood with his sleeves folded. Occasionally one or two people on his side were affected, but he remained indifferent.
After all, the foundation was not damaged. Wei Ziying didn't say anything, and Lei Xiao didn't come. Pei Yu thought about it at home and would not be back for five days.
Finally, someone couldn't help but stand up and ask: "Princess! This is inappropriate!"
Wen Qingzhu looked up and saw that the person asking for the performance was actually Cui Xiushan, but that was reasonable.
Fu Yu was considered half of the emperor's confidant, so naturally he would not question her.
Wan Hongyu is now in a dilemma. The emperor has summoned him twice alone and asked him if he has a girl he likes.
The meaning was already obvious, and he couldn't delay it any longer.
"Oh? What do you think is wrong, Mr. Cui?" Wen Qingzhu's tone was a little softer.
This change made everyone understand more and more that they could no longer be stubborn, otherwise, the end would be tragic.
Cui Xiushan listed several points, and Wen Qingzhu nodded in agreement.
Finally, he said with emotion: "You are right. They ransacked this house and that one, tied up this one and tied up that one. There are not enough courtiers. It happens that the emperor has just ascended the throne, so let's start Enko in the autumn!"
There is no amnesty for the world, only Kai Enke.
The meaning has been very clear. Wen Qingzhu wants to understand the court. Except for the dozen or so people at the top, there are only two consequences for those who cannot stand in line.
Exile or dismissal.
When Enke's matter was raised, Wen Qingzhu naturally retained people from the Hanlin Academy and the Prime Minister's Pavilion to discuss the matter together.
Cui Xiushan, who is currently in the Ministry of Household Affairs, is not in the Hanlin Academy, so he naturally follows the officials out of the palace.
As he was walking, someone called him from behind: "Xiushan."
Looking back, I saw that the person coming was He Zhui.
"The princess doesn't give me much time. I'm too busy here. Can you come over and help me?"
Cui Xiushan was startled and then understood what He Zhui meant.
Are you asking him to go up there
Facing his immediate boss, Cui Xiushan logically cannot refuse.
But he knew that this matter involved too much, and the Cui family couldn't bear the trouble now, so they found several reasons to decline.
He Zhuan looked at the background where he left, his eyes darkening.
If Cui Xiushan was unwilling to help him, then he had no choice but to find that person.
That night, Wan Ze didn't leave the Yamen for a long time, and he was filled with sadness.
Don't know where to start.
