first class maid

Chapter 352
"Which one of you will explain clearly?" Yu Wentai shouted loudly.

All the people from the old school, including Xun Zhen, frowned slightly. Zhou Shangfu, the representative of the Shangfu Bureau, took a step forward on his knees, and said suspiciously: "Your Majesty, what did the slaves do wrong? The new and old palace maids are changing, and the servants are not in their positions and do not seek their own affairs. If there are mistakes, the new senior palace maids should be responsible."

The four newly appointed maidservants looked at each other in blank dismay. Now this group of people was about to pour dirty water on their heads. Qin Shanggong from the Shanggong Bureau stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the slaves are wronged too. They hold their own seniority and refuse to accept The transfer orders of the slaves and maidservants collectively claimed to be sick and not to work. The slaves and maidservants had no choice but to recruit newcomers. The newcomers have not been trained, so they missed the expenses of the nobles. They just wanted to deliberately disturb the empress concubine ceremony. The heart can be punished, but it will never be forgiven."

The confrontation between old and new factions has its own reasons and difficulties.

"What about Shangshi Bureau, isn't there any change? Why is there even a problem with the meal?" Yu Wenhong said, "I met you before, and it was the time of the mother's funeral. You handled things in an orderly manner. This mistake?"

"Your Highness, none of the eunuchs in charge of purchasing from the Ministry of Internal Affairs can buy the fresh and high-grade ingredients used in daily life..." Li Meier Shangshi hurriedly called out his grievances, and brought the Ministry of Internal Affairs into it.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs pointed the finger at his family again, and suddenly the old and the new factions quarreled in the Taihe Palace.

All the ministers opened their eyes, and all the concubines covered their mouths and snickered. The more chaotic the scene became, the more it showed the incompetence of the new empress. Even the palace people couldn't handle it. This empress is really embarrassing.

Xun Zhen remained silent all this time, looking at the people of the Liu family, the uglier their expressions became, the deeper the smile in her heart grew, the debts that the Liu family owed her to the Xun family have only now been paid back a little.

"Shut up, all of you." Yu Wentai patted the armrest of the dragon chair angrily, his chest rose up and down with anger, did these palace people regard the hall as a vegetable market?Seeing the scene quiet down, he glared at Empress Liu angrily, "Empress, is this the 'result' of your management of the harem?" He gritted his teeth and said the word "result", the disdain, coldness, and mockery were vividly reflected.

"The concubine is guilty." Empress Liu didn't dare to argue any more, she knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Xun Zhen calmly said: "Your Majesty, servants are human beings, and it is normal for them to have a headache. They implement a high-pressure policy as soon as they come up, and the servants are only protecting themselves. It’s not easy, which one is not trying to do its job well? Which one is not doing its best to make the nobles in the palace feel at ease? It is for no reason that the empress has gone, so we have become the one that was suppressed. May I ask the emperor, Does that make sense?"

When these words came out, some maids and eunuchs sobbed faintly, and even the officials who had been in the officialdom for a long time were a little sad. They were just watching this once-in-a-lifetime show, but what the little maid said was true In their hearts, the factional disputes between the court and the Chinese government are also very serious. Just because the people they follow have collapsed, many people have to be squeezed out by their new bosses. Ups and downs have become commonplace, regardless of the reason.

But Yu Wentai said angrily: "Don't think I don't know, you are deliberately watching them make mistakes, and then you are going to watch from the sidelines, aren't you?"

"That's right." Xun Zhen also looked directly at the emperor, cupped his hands and said, "Your majesty, personnel changes are normal. In what year has there been no personnel changes in the palace? It can be seen that any palace people would be dissatisfied with this? It can be seen that the empress of the past was in the way of things. It is extremely fair and never self-serving, but now a change will turn the world upside down, many people have worked hard for the emperor for decades, and what they end up with is being kicked out of the house for no reason, and no one will feel good if they put it on anyone."

"Your Majesty, what Xun Zhangzhi said is exactly what the servants think. The servants dare to ask the empress, what did the servants do wrong? Is there anything that dissatisfies the queen?" After Xun Zhen came forward to speak, other senior officials The maids also pointed their finger at Empress Liu one after another, and there was grievance, bewilderment, and suppressed indignation in their eyes.

"Your Majesty, the servants have never been selfish..." The old eunuchs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will not let go of this opportunity to make a statement. In short, they can be as selfless as they say they are, and as innocent as they are.

Although Yu Wentai still has a lot of anger in his chest at this time, most of them are directed at Queen Liu. He is really a fool. He has only been a queen for a long time, and he dares to go to war in the palace. After they are stable, they will be slowly replaced. If they come so suddenly, it is strange that they don't make a mess.

Empress Liu didn't dare to breathe, the emperor looked at her like a knife, originally thought that this was just a group of servants who were like ants, who would not take anyone's life, but who would have thought that this group of people would not admit defeat?
Liu Jin'an glanced at the trembling of her daughter, sighed, stepped forward to salute and said: "Your Majesty, the empress is newly conferred, and it is inevitable that she behaves differently. She is not as orderly as the previous empress. Everyone in the harem must abide by the decree issued by the Lord."

"Having said that, I remember my mother once said when she was still alive, to take good care of the harem so that my father will not have to worry about the future. Only in this way can I concentrate on state affairs and the country will prosper. Therefore, you should not be too rude to court ladies and eunuchs. , They are also human beings, and they must be clearly rewarded and punished, so that everyone will be convinced, and will not cause a lot of dissatisfaction in the harem, father, I wonder if what my son said is correct?" Yu Wenhong asked his father to explain his doubts.

Yu Wentai has always been very angry with Empress Tang, and whenever he thinks of her, he will think of the scene that day, but now when he hears his son mentioning her, he also slowly thinks of her kindness, which is indeed what she once said Yes, in comparison, Concubine Liu is more than half behind her. "Liu Xiang, I know that as a father, it is natural for you to protect your children, but what the crown prince said is not wrong. As a superior person, you must distinguish rewards and punishments. Only in this way can you make people submit and rejuvenate the country."

"Father is wise." Yu Wenhong first knelt down and flattered as he lifted the hem of his clothes.

All the ministers knelt down, "Your Majesty is wise." Even Liu Xiang slowly knelt down and shouted after everyone with a dark expression, and the sound shook the roof for a while.
