Empress with no Virtue Chapter 12: Purge

www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Queen Wude!

On September 12th, the sky is high and the clouds are light.

Early in the morning, Ji Wu Jiu led a group of troops and headed straight for the three major battalions on the outskirts of the capital. If someone gets up early that day, they may be lucky enough to see the majestic appearance of the current saint on the street: wearing a golden phoenix-winged crown, dragon-patterned military armor, black shoes with white soles and gold silk, riding a horse. It is a horse that is all white without a single mottled color. It has a sword at its waist and a carved back. Its features are picturesque and handsome.

Although this outfit is full of nouveau riche vibes, ordinary people probably prefer this look, so many young girls and young wives are fascinated by it, until people around them grab their clothes and remind them, "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor. !"

The golden dragon on the armor that blinded people and dogs had already betrayed Ji Wu Jiu’s identity.

Ji Wu Jiu was in a good mood, and he didn't feel rude if someone stared at his face. He kept his gaze straight and carefully controlled the horse's **** to prevent it from going too fast, lest it inadvertently hurt passers-by. There were well-trained guards leading the way in front of him, followed by 18 secret escorts, so even though the blind man also knew his identity, his personal safety was absolutely guaranteed.

Until he was about to leave the city and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians, he grabbed his horse and galloped towards his destination.

While the emperor was busy reviewing the troops outside the palace, Ye Zhenzhen was not idle either.

To be precise, she had her busiest day since entering the palace.

The so-called rectification of the harem means that those who are detrimental to Kunning Palace must find ways to deal with them, and those who can hinder opponents must find ways to keep them. Those who work on the harem or are suspected of working on the harem must find ways to transfer them and... do not let them go. Any chance of being blinded.

The last one is to disperse hatred and prevent people from all palaces from focusing on the queen. For example, they dug up some old cases and pretended that someone came to complain to the queen, and gave the concubine Li's people to Li Fei, and Li Fei's people to Xian Fei.

In short, after this "rectification", more than half of the people in Kunning Palace have left, and they are all kneeling outside waiting to be punished. There are all kinds of crimes. As the Lord of the Sixth Palace, Ye Zhenzhen is filled with informants from all over the place, and I am afraid that the Kunning Palace has already been leaked into a sieve. She knew this from the day she entered the palace, but it was impossible to check it too clearly. So of those who were kicked out, she wasn't sure there was something wrong with everyone. But she asked Su Yue and Su Feng to observe them for more than a month. It was best not to keep anyone who was suspicious at all, or just throw them outside the second door. She also captured people from other places, most of whom were from the Six Bureaus and One Division who behaved misbehaved and behaved in a high-profile manner that aroused jealousy. Although some people hated these people, most of them applauded them. She can be considered as winning people's hearts. Those involving the transfer of personnel in various palaces are not included in this list.

Today, the Daqi Imperial Palace is about to usher in the largest palace punishment in this dynasty in hundreds of years.

Kneeling on the ground in darkness outside Kunning Palace, the formation was terrifying. Many people came to watch, including palace maids, eunuchs and concubines, all with solemn expressions, as if in condolences; they did not dare to stand too close for fear of getting into trouble.

Wang Youcai first called the names at the top of his lungs, and the person who was called replied, "I know I'm wrong." The slaves each had a square brick, and they knelt very neatly, echoing the three battalions of soldiers waiting for review in the suburbs. The last person to be called was Fanchun. She did not line up with others, but had a long square brick by herself. She knelt in front of everyone, as if she were the leader.

After all one hundred and twenty-nine palace maids and eunuchs were called, the execution began.

There are three levels of execution: twenty sticks, forty sticks, and sixty sticks. Most people were in the first two camps, and only Fanchun received the honor of sixty sticks.

Because there are not enough beaters, the beatings with the sticks must be carried out in batches. The slaves with twenty sticks will be beaten first, and the slaves with forty sticks will be ready. Listening to the howling of the beaten man, everyone watching from the outside was speechless. Some of the timid ones even turned their backs and covered their ears, not knowing why they came here.

As for those waiting to be beaten, it is even more uncomfortable. Most of the people broke out in a cold sweat, some cried, some screamed, and some had already wet themselves.

After twenty sticks were dragged down, people would no longer have the strength to shout. After these people were dragged down, it was the turn of the forty sticks.

When the forty sticks were finished, Fanchun was the only one left.

After the first two rounds of psychological torture, Fanchun had fainted from fright, but after being given a cane, she woke up again and screamed again and again.

"Stop it, stop it!"

Li Fei came over with murderous intent, Wang Youcai winked, and two powerful eunuchs from Kunning Palace stopped her.

"May I ask the Queen, what crime did Fanchun commit?"

"Ah! Ah! Ah!!!"

Ye Zhenzhen answered with a smile amidst Fanchun’s screams, “Sun Jieyu’s abortion case in Bingchou year, Wu Zhaoyi’s food poisoning case in the same year, the arson case in the concubine’s palace the following year, and the case of concubine Hui falling into the water this year, which one? It has nothing to do with her!" Ye Zhenzhen said a few words casually. She actually didn't investigate these cases clearly, but Concubine Li had always been unscrupulous in this harem, and she would probably be able to find the right person if she had any bad things to do. Besides, even if it's an accidental injury, so what, I'm just going to put a **** basin on your head.

“She did not set the fire in the concubine’s palace!”

"That means she was responsible for several other cases?"

"..."

"Empress Li Fei, everything is okay...ah!!!!"

"You... are so slanderous!" Li Fei struggled, her eyes wide open, anxious and hateful.

Ye Zhenzhen smiled faintly, "Dare you speak to me in such a tone? Sufeng, slap your mouth."

"Yes!" Sufeng stepped forward and was about to raise her hand when Li Fei sneered, "How dare you!"

Su Feng is just a palace maid after all, her hand stopped in mid-air, trying not to fall.

"She doesn't dare me." Ye Zhenzhen walked over, raised her hand and slapped her in the face. The applause was covered up by Fanchun's screams and had no thrilling effect. However, Li Fei's face soon became swollen, and there was an expression on her face. Show five fingerprints.

"You dare to hit me again!"

"Okay." Another slap.

Many people saw Ye Zhenzhen slap Li Fei twice from a distance and felt relieved.

"You! You! You! Well done to you! Wait for the emperor to come back, wait for the emperor to come back..."

"The Emperor will be back soon," Ye Zhenzhen waved her hand, "Concubine Li is mentally disturbed, please send her back to Luhua Palace."

After Li Fei was sent away, Ye Zhenzhen turned around and said to Fan Chun, "The two slaps your master received just now were for you, so I will give you twenty slaps." Sixty slaps might really cost you For her life, Ye Zhenzhen still needs this slave to give Li Fei advice, and there is no need for her to die for the time being.

After the execution, the dying Fanchun was carried back to Luhua Palace. Seeing that there was no excitement to see, everyone dispersed. Ye Zhenzhen returned to the room to drink tea and rest, and then ordered Wang Youcai to bring over a group of female eunuchs who had been roughly selected a few days ago. She wanted to see them in person and select them carefully.

"Your Majesty..." Su Feng suddenly knelt down and hesitated to speak, looking ashamed.

"What's wrong?" Ye Zhenzhen put down the tea bowl and asked with a smile.

"My slave is useless." Su Feng was very upset that he had been frightened by Concubine Li's aura just now and did not act decisively.

"Get up, you did nothing wrong, I didn't think well. If you continue to fight, she will definitely hate you, and she will never wait for an opportunity to retaliate in the future. I don't want the bullying Su Yue suffered to happen to you again. "After she finished speaking, Su Feng and Su Yue both looked at her with emotion.

Su Yue thought of another thing and couldn't help frowning, "The empress slapped Concubine Li today, which is indeed very satisfying, but the fight was so big, if Concubine Li complained in front of the emperor..."

Ye Zhenzhen is confident, "She will definitely complain, but the emperor will definitely not stand up for her."

She didn’t dare to say that she understood Ji Wu Jiu, but she also felt a bit of a temper. He could punish Ye Zhenzhen for many things, but this would never be included. Doting on the concubine is one thing, but indulging in **** is another. Concubine Li contradicted the Queen in public, yelled and behaved rudely, and was already rude. In front of so many people, it was not inappropriate for the Queen to teach her a lesson. As an emperor, if he accuses the queen because Concubine Li cries in front of him, he will probably be known as "a lustful person who harms the country". A large group of officials are waiting for him.

That’s why Ye Zhenzhen dared to brazenly fix Concubine Li today. Although the technique is a bit simple and crude, it is really refreshing...

***

When Ji Wu Jiu came back from the military camp, he always felt that everyone in the palace was a little different from usual. It seemed that many people were... a little more gloomy?

He didn't know why. After changing into regular clothes, he wanted to take a walk in the palace, when he saw Concubine Li coming crying.

Logically speaking, since the queen caused such a big fight today, there should be many people who want to complain. But everyone knew that Concubine Li had been slapped twice by the queen herself today. Thinking that they were not as miserable as her, they all waited to see her complain. Concubine Li didn't care what others thought. All the masters and slaves in the palace were beaten, and the other party was the unfavored queen. She couldn't bear this tone no matter what. When she heard that the emperor was back, she hurriedly came to talk to him. Wronged.

After hearing Concubine Li’s cry, Ji Wu Jiu casually comforted her and asked her to go back first. Then he ordered Feng Youde to investigate what was going on.

Feng Youde came back soon and brought several witnesses with him to report to Ji Wu Jiu in detail what Ye Zhenzhen did today, including who was transferred to various palaces and who was punished with the staff. Concubine Li said What led her to go into battle herself, and so on.

After hearing this, Ji Wu Jiu learned that Ye Zhenzhen punished people from Kunning Palace and those who were unpopular in the Sixth Bureau and the First Division. It was hard for her to find so many people and create such a big fuss. It seems that she can handle the task of "rectifying the Sixth House".

The clever thing about this woman is that she managed to create such a big battle without actually offending a few people.

But... Ji Wu Jiu's eyes flashed and he asked, "Where are the three eunuchs I placed in Kunning Palace?"

Feng Youde replied, "Two of them were beaten with twenty sticks and have been sent elsewhere, and another one..."

"How?"

"There is another one, the Queen Empress, who was transferred to sweep the road outside the second gate because she was 'too ugly and unsightly.' She also ordered him to avoid Feng Jia whenever the Empress Queen passes by."
