Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 262 The Fire of the Lantern Festival Kills King Xiang with One Arrow and Three Eagles
Zhu Qiyu spoke so bluntly that Lu Zhong realized that he had made a mistake.It turned out that the emperor just wanted to warn the Empress Dowager Sun, and took advantage of the opportunity to kill all the cronies of the Empress Dowager's Compassion Palace.

That's easy, with the emperor's backing, there's not much risk in doing this kind of thing.

Moreover, the emperor asked to burn all the Palace of Compassion and Ning, Palace of Renshou, Palace of Mental Cultivation, and Palace of Xian'an, which is a very good move.On the one hand, it can confuse the public, lest the purpose is too obvious, and people will know at a glance that it is aimed at Queen Mother Sun.

Secondly, after these palaces were burned down, Empress Dowager Sun could only live in Yinghua Hall in the northwest corner.After all, the Qianqing Palace is where the emperor lives, the Kunning Palace is where the empress lives, and the West Sixth Palace and East Sixth Palace are where the emperor's concubines live.

Only the Yinghua Palace is left for the Empress Dowager Sun to live in.That place is much narrower than the Compassionate Ning Palace.

Thirdly, Sheng Ping is the head of the Yinghua Palace, and it will be more convenient to monitor the Queen Mother in the future.

The more Lu Zhong thought about it, the happier he became, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that following the emperor's life was really exciting.

In Lu Zhong's eyes, the only shortcoming of the emperor now is that he has no son.As long as a few more sons are born, the heart will be completely stable.A group of the emperor's cronies can follow the glory and wealth for decades.

After chatting with Lu Zhong, Zhu Qiyu talked with other people alone. It was not until dark that Zhu Qiyu dragged his tired body back to the room.

Fortunately, the beloved concubines are especially fond of others, and the hot soup and hot rice have already been prepared.

Zhu Qiyu is also very caring, and never mentions the matter of having children when she returns home, and does not put pressure on the concubines.

After bathing and changing clothes, and having dinner, Zhu Qiyu walked around the room, only to see that there were only tables, chairs and benches left in the room, and all the jade, porcelain, agate, and colored glaze were taken down.

Zhu Qiyu asked curiously: "My little aunts, are you not planning to come back at all?"

Lin Xiangyu heard the words and replied: "My family doesn't like wooden houses, and even less wooden utensils, especially the smell of lacquer, I really hate it to death.

If it wasn't for her husband being here, the slave family would have jumped over the wall and run away long ago. "

"Jump over the wall and run away? You wild girl, you have the nerve to say so."

Zhu Qiyu walked to the bed and lay down.

Qianxue also came over, got on the bed and sat on the inside, echoed softly: "Maybe women are more sensitive to smells, and we sisters think the smell of lacquer is unpleasant.

Even the mother concubine doesn't like her current house, and plans to build a new one after the new year. "

"All right, all right, I don't like the current house either. You can build it as you like, you can build it however you want."

After Qianxue heard the words, she continued: "We plan to enclose Yuquan Mountain, then demolish all the old buildings, and then bring white marble from Fangshan to build a new one from scratch.

All pavilions and pavilions are built with white marble.The furnishing utensils in the house all use rare treasures such as jade, jadeite, agate, and colored glaze, and gold, silver, copper, iron, wood, and stone are all used.

From now on, Yuquan Mountain will be the backyard of our Xinqi Prince's Mansion, and only my husband and our 15 sisters will live there. What does my husband think? "

"Good, good, good!"

Zhu Qiyu was afraid that the concubines would give him medicine, so he nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Qianxue smiled and said, "Then please ask your husband to give our Yuquan Mountain Love Nest a name."

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "There are many spiritual springs and beauties like jade, so let's call it Lingyu Palace."

When Lin Xiangyu heard the words, she quickly nodded her head and said good-bye: "It can be seen that our sisters and husband are in the same life and have a good understanding. We also think of this name in private."

"Okay, then let's go to bed quickly, and we will run away the day after tomorrow after we have a banquet with all our relatives, friends and confidants."

All the girls cheered when they heard this.

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, King Xiang was still sleeping in when he was awakened by the roar of a fierce tiger.

"The roar of a tiger?"

King Xiang who had just woken up thought he was dreaming, but not long after, the tiger roared again.

Now that King Xiang heard the truth, he quickly put on his clothes and went out to check.Unexpectedly, when we got to the front yard, we saw two big iron cages in the yard, and two fierce tigers were locked in the iron cages.

A number of eunuchs and Jinyiwei stood neatly in the courtyard, and the eunuch and the leader of the Jinyiwei were teasing the tiger.

Seeing King Xiang coming out, everyone hurriedly saluted.

At this time, King Xiang was disheveled and felt that he was inappropriate, so he couldn't help asking angrily: "What are you doing this early in the morning? Who is in charge, come forward and answer."

The leading eunuch stepped forward and replied: "His Royal Highness, the servant Shu Liang is the eunuch Bingbi, the supervisor of ceremonies."

The leader Jin Yiwei also stepped forward and replied: "Your Highness, the last general, Lu Gao, is the commander of Jin Yiwei."

After Lu Gao finished reporting his name, Shu Liang continued: "Your Highness, the emperor has a decree: I heard that there is a lack of eunuchs in the backyards of the princes' mansions, which is very inconvenient. The eunuchs of the inner court simply selected [-] eunuchs and gave them to the palaces of the princes.

In the future, there will be a shortage of eunuch users in the various palaces, and private castration is not allowed to be traded. You can hear about it, and I will send supplies.

There are also rare birds and animals in the palace, all donated from all over the world, which is a waste of people and money, and is repeatedly banned.Today, all of them are given to the nobles of the clan, and no one will be able to offer them to the palace in the future. "

King Xiang was a little dazed when he heard the words, what is it all about.Rewarding three thousand eunuchs to the vassal kings at once is really a big deal.Forget it, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty especially liked to collect rare birds and animals, so why did this Emperor Jingtai give away all of them so strangely?

When King Xiang came back to his senses, Shu Liang continued to reply: "Your Highness, there are fifty eunuchs here, and two tigers are given to Prince Xiang's mansion, please accept them.

In addition, His Majesty specially instructed that if the princes are interested, they can go to Xiyuan to pick some rare birds and animals to take back. "

King Xiang nodded helplessly, so he had to give Shu Liang and the others a large reward and send them away.

After sending off Shu Liang and the others and settling the fifty eunuchs bestowed by the emperor, King Xiang shook his head looking at the two tigers.There is nowhere to put the tiger, so it can only be put in the yard temporarily, listening to them roaring from time to time.

King Xiang knew in his heart that this was the emperor beating him, and he also wanted to urge him to return to Changsha quickly.

Then there is no other way, in this place in the capital, it is really difficult to use it.King Xiang really couldn't understand why his elder brother and nephew had been running the place for decades, and it took only four months for it to be completely controlled by an unknown and unknown bastard.

Really useless, in the big capital of Nuo, even an army pro-Emperor could not be found, and there was not even a slight possibility of mutiny.

Forget it, none of the civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty had the will to stand up against the emperor, they all kept silent and let the emperor do whatever he wanted.

Although King Xiang hadn't figured it out yet, he had already seen it through: if the green hills are left, there is no fear of running out of firewood.There is no hope of bringing down the emperor for the time being. The most urgent thing is to leave the capital and go back to Changsha to avoid disaster.

So King Xiang immediately ordered the accompanying officials to pack up and leave the capital tomorrow.

At the same time, Zhu Qiyu also came to the front yard early and began to meet his cronies one by one.
