Chapter 417: Palace Fight
Bianjing City is already a troublesome, but a major news inevitably aroused another shock in this muddy water.
Your Majesty is not in Suzhou, so he runs away!
It is understandable that the emperor is a parade, but the parade has never been seen in ancient and modern times. It is important to know that the emperor is patrolling all directions. In ancient times, the guards he brought, the officials he followed, and various instruments from the forbidden palace will be prepared. The court will first pass it to the ministers and then send fast horses to Xingluan. In this way, although the emperor travels all directions, the national affairs will not be abandoned.
Now that His Majesty suddenly disappeared in Suzhou, although there may not be any mistakes, he suddenly put aside the national affairs and made the entire Bianjing feel unruly.
This incident caused a lot of controversy. There were three missing people. In addition to the official family, there were also King Jin and Shen Ao. Just looking at this lineup, everyone knew that something might happen. Whether it was King Jin and Shen Ao, these two were the best at making trouble in Bianjing City. If something was involved in this pair of guys, it would be a big deal.
After a brief silence, everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall to Menxia Province and Secretariat Province. What ideas would Cai Taishi and Wei County Guild take and what actions would they take?
But... those who tried to make trouble and fear that the world would not be in chaos could not help but be disappointed. Both Cai Jing and Quartz chose to remain silent. Even the two old foxes suddenly became close and handed over to the memorials of the Ministry of Education. Cai Jing gave an instruction and immediately asked someone to send them to the Secretariat for review. When encountering a major event, he personally invited Quartz to discuss it. It seemed that the three provinces were calm and there was no sign of the storm coming.
What's wrong with the Grand Master? Logically, this should be a great opportunity for him to fight back. The gangster waited for a long time, but no action came out. He couldn't help but feel that the current situation was covered with a shadow and could not see through it no matter what.
In this surprising silence, the palace was in chaos. The ministers could have their own plans and could perform their duties calmly and calmly. However, the women in the palace could not wait. The most worried queen mother was the queen mother. The queen mother asked people to inquire about the news again and again, and she was even more concerned about Suzhou. In Jingtai Palace, she was restless and even played Ye Zi Cards out of energy. She wanted to calm down several times and called a few palace maids to accompany her to play cards, but halfway through, she pushed the cards to the table.
She only has two sons, and her two sons are missing. At this point, even though she wanted to show off her mother's demeanor, she still couldn't help but lose her composure.
Early in the morning, the first thing the Empress Dowager asked when she woke up was that there was news from the official family?
The personal eunuch who accompanied the empress dowager was called Jingde. The old eunuch lowered his eyebrows and replied: "There is news in Suzhou, but the official family has not yet settled."
The empress dowager's face suddenly turned pale as paper. She sat on the couch and seemed to be resting her eyes, but in fact she was already confused. After a long time, she asked: "What is the news coming from Suzhou?"
Jingde said: "It is said that the imperial guards have been sent everywhere to search. Please rest assured that the palace will be able to get news within a few days."
The Empress Dowager said angrily: "Don't worry? How about this? The Emperor of the Government is the Emperor, and he is also making trouble! Humph, the Ai family asked him to go out to pray for his royal brother. He was fine, he only cared about traveling around the mountains and rivers, but he did such a thing. And the King of Jin..." When it comes to King of Jin, the Empress Dowager also looked frosty: "It would be fine that he would make trouble in Bianjing, but the Ai family compassionately, knowing that his temperament is like this. After all, he is a minister. Should he go to the government to make trouble with the government? Wait and see, those censors must have something to say again. Those who don't know also said that the Ai family has no way to educate their children, but the Princess of Jin must be anxious and asked someone to comfort her. If she is worried, she would ask her to come into the palace. Women can always say something and find some comfort to each other."
The Empress Dowager pondered for a while, and was not polite when she talked about Chen Ao: "Chen Ao is not a good thing either. The Ai family has seen it. He colluded with the official family. These dirty things are all about him borrowing the official family's courage and the official family's ideas. This is called two bed bugs together and they have a similar smell!"
Jingde was listening, and his tense nerves couldn't help but relax. He couldn't help laughing. Only this empress dowager in the world can say this, and the smell is similar...
The Empress Dowager stared at Jingde and couldn't help but laugh, "What are you still standing there? Go and find someone. The Ai family on Yang Jian's side is no longer expected. Maybe Yang Jian and the official family are in the same group. They will pass the Ai family's imperial edict to Jiang Bing. Didn't Hua Shigang be removed? The younger brother of the Ai family is also idle anyway, so let him find him! Humph, it's still more reliable to be his own brother."
Jingde Qiqi said aily: "Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager called Wang Fu into the palace early this morning."
"Wang Fu? What did Wang Fu do when he entered the palace? What did he say when he was a young slaughter? Humph, he was becoming more and more unscrupulous. This Empress Dowager is a joke."
Jingde whispered with a tense face: "It is said that Wang Fu entered the palace and asked the Empress Dowager's imperial edict to punish Chen Ao's crime. The Empress Dowager said nothing. He should nodded and waited for the imperial edict to come out."
The Empress Dowager thought for a while and said, "Okay, this is a lesson. He also has a part in this matter. Of course, he cannot spare him easily. Regardless of whether the official family instigated him or not, the Empress Dowager did not issue an imperial edict, and the Ai family would also issue it."
Jingde is Yang Jian's man. He had received Yang Jian's letter from him earlier, asking him to pay attention to the changes in the palace. When he heard the empress dowager say this, his face suddenly changed and he hurriedly said, "The Empress Dowager, you must not. In the imperial edict of the empress dowager, it's okay to be punished by the emperor. I'm afraid she will scold His Majesty for going on a tour."
The Empress Dowager suddenly became silent and said, "So, the Ai family still has to keep this arrogance?"
"Of course, there is no need to protect it, but Chen Ao has no say in treating the Empress Dowager. His usual offerings have never stopped. Not to mention that they are during festivals, even on weekdays, they will occasionally come to greet each other. Chen Ao is the Empress Dowager's person!"
The Empress Dowager nodded: "You are not wrong in your words, this guy is still polite." Then he fell into hesitation. Chen Ao and her relationship was second. What really made the Empress Dowager worried was the imperial edict of the Empress Dowager. If he just simply sued Chen Ao, the Empress Dowager felt that he should teach the boy a lesson, and he was afraid that the imperial edict would be written into the southern tour of the government. If the imperial edict was issued, wouldn't it be wrong to say that the imperial edict was on the inspection?
The key to the problem is that the official family will go on a patrol, because the official family will go on a patrol, if it is a decree of the empress dowager, wouldn’t it be that the empress dowager will be slapped in the face of the world?
The Empress Dowager sneered: "It seems that someone is afraid that the world will not be in chaos. That Wang Fu is not a good person. Humph, the Ai family has long disliked him. Is the matter in the palace a good thing? What is his intention to go to find the Empress Dowager? Why don't you tell the Ai family if you have anything?"
Jingde said on the side: "This Wang Fu probably thought that the Empress Dowager in the palace was the main lord."
This sentence of sowing discord is really powerful. The Empress Dowager was already restless. At this time, her face was even more terrifying and she said gloomy: "Okay, very good. Can the Ai family stay such a person? Can the official family still use it? You should pay attention to this person for the Ai family and deal with him at that time." She paused and said: "The Empress Dowager also asked people to keep an eye on him. Isn't there a person named Wang Shuner in her palace who is a fellow villager with you? Ask him to inquire about the news, if there is any disturbance, the Ai family should be the first to know. The Ai family will also send this imperial edict, and they will snatch their hair in front of them."
As if he was still unresolved, the Empress Dowager suddenly stood up coldly and said, "According to what I said, your Majesty was privately inspected, and the Ai family was worried... As for Chen Ao, he also scolded him in the imperial edict. As for him, he should be punished, so he should be fined for one year. This is called avoiding the important and being light, and blocking the mouth of the man in the palace first. As for what he said to Wang Fu, just talk about the matter of the Heavenly Family, which is something that foreign ministers can discuss? Ask them to control their mouths and talk nonsense, the Ai family will make them look good."

At the solemn Zhengde Gate, dozens of burly and tall imperial guards lined up, standing along the wall, facing the dusk light, the entire palace city reflected the dim yellow, and the red palace gate door opened wide. Wang Fu came out of the door. He was wearing purple clothes, jade belts tied around his waist, a pair of deer-skinned gold-edged boots, and came out with his body. It was not until he passed through the door hole that he finally breathed a sigh of relief. His groom in the distance had been driving the carriage for a long time, and walked to the carriage. He just said calmly: "Go to Cai Mansion." Then he got into the curtain of the carriage and closed his eyes.
After meeting the Empress Dowager, Wang Fu finally felt a little confident. Originally, he wanted to see the Empress Dowager first, but the eunuch in the Empress Dowager's harem Jingde turned him out, saying that the empress dowager was unhappy and refused. As a last resort, Wang Fu thought of another master in the palace and went to meet the Empress Dowager again. Fortunately, the Empress Dowager heard his words and was furious, saying that His Majesty was a bad man, and the imperial edict had been finalized. He immediately arrested Chen Ao and deposed him as a commoner, and never used it.
Sitting in the shaking carriage, Wang Fu opened the curtain and saw the scenery along the street slowly retreating in the dim light. He didn't know whether it was excitement or uneasy, but he felt that he was not sure whether he did these things today or not. However, he leaned on the soft pillow and patted his legs comfortably, feeling a little proud.
Now that Your Majesty is missing for the time being, the imperial decree is the greatest. The Empress Dowager issued an imperial decree and this scene will be seen. It is for sure to never describe the four words. This punishment is enough to put Chen Ao to death or exclude him from the court.
Because even if Your Majesty and Shen Ao returned to Bianjing, Chen Ao still gained His Majesty's trust. But as the emperor, how could he change the imperial edict of the Empress Dowager? Doesn't this mean that the Empress Dowager is wrong, or is it proves that there is a rift between Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager?
Wang Fu's most proud step was that he took advantage of the moment when the power was vacuumed and cooked the raw rice. As long as the imperial decree was announced in the world, Chen Ao would never be able to overturn the case. Not to mention that Chen Ao had no choice but to do anything about Chen Ao, no matter how much His Majesty favored the Chen surname, it would be impossible to sing a counter-topic with the Empress Dowager for a close minister.
"I will never use it, hum, this time I will see how Chen Ao will turn over!" Wang Fu pulled down the curtains and the carriage fell into darkness.
