C18 Activate Mutiny

Another five years.

Perhaps, as he grew older, the young Emperor's mind improved. Apart from the chronic and incurable physical problems, there was a significant rise in his thinking and words.

The empress, Wang Shi, and Wang Shi, Mei Tian were all willing to give birth to a little prince, but unexpectedly, his mother and son were conferred with the title of crown prince.

From time to time, he saw palace maids and eunuchs leading little princes and princesses to play in the gardens of the imperial palace, frantically trying to catch the mysteries of the world.

As the head of the imperial harem, her brain wasn't filled with water. How could she not know who these brats were made of? But not only did she turn a blind eye to him, saying that he had pushed her too far, letting her do as she pleased, or letting her go as she pleased! Tong Qingyu was not stupid, the inner palace was not a woman's country, and if all these healthy women were in a frightening environment without a man, what kind of terrifying appearance would they have?

Either they would all be dissolved, or some necessary reforms would be made. Of course, she would choose the latter. In these past few years, she had made a few large adjustments to the harem. Some of the older maids were allowed to leave the palace, while some would be taken away by their family members. Some would be sold to officials as concubines or even to brothels.

Her Majesty found it strange that there were not many heavy jobs in the palace, not only did the wind blow away the rain but there were also plenty of good food and drink, such good conditions, but they, the bitches, would rather go out and be whores, and not a single one of them would volunteer to stay in the palace. In the end, it was still a man's attraction, Tong thought. Although his son was the head of the temple and his position was completely different from that of a eunuch, he had something in common with a eunuch. Sometimes, he was not as good as a eunuch who did not have a clean body!

She had originally thought that her son was young and didn't know how to cuddle up to women, but later on she found out that he didn't have that kind of ability at all. All the young ladies in the harem were prepared for his son, and he couldn't accept any of them. This was too unfair! In the end, Tong had to turn his attention and hope to Pan, the eunuch.

Although the harem was large, it was still within the control of the empress dowager. Pan Zuanan's every move would never escape her sight. Sometimes she used Pan as a tool, sometimes she used Pan as a lover, and more often she used him as a son. The eunuch was a loyal person. If it weren't for him, she would have already died from starvation in the mountains and forests. The eunuch was a reliable person, and she was sure that even if she gave him this mountain and river, he would not abandon her.

The eunuch was a capable man. Wang Shigui had taken over five of the six divisions (officials, servants, soldiers, torturers, and labourers), and only one division was in the hands of Little Pan.

The imperial power was divided into six sections. The six sections of the official press discussed the matter, and with a nod of the Emperor's head, it became a law. During the peaceful times, the military department was not worth much. Sword and spear had been thrown into the treasury, and the soldiers had been sent into the mountains. The military president had also become the deaf's ear. The eunuch tried several times to gain some civil authority from Wang Shugui, but he could not find the opportunity.

After the old thief Wang Shugui entered the palace last time, his attitude towards this young eunuch had undergone a tremendous change. From time to time, he would be invited to the Prime Minister's palace. The Prime Minister's wife would personally go down to the cupboard and command the army. Old Wang took out the wine that had been stored away for decades and treated them as guests. The servant girls and servants all hid away to other places. The officials among his comrades were also not allowed to sit with them, just the three of them were like a family, drinking and drinking together, speaking freely. The Prime Minister held his hand and the Madame held his back. The Prime Minister held his hand and the Madam Ye held his back.

However, everyone knew what they were talking about and didn't want to say it out loud. The young eunuch had lost his parents since he was young and no one loved him. Seeing such a scene unfold in front of him, tears welled up in his eyes. He wanted nothing more than to drop to the ground and kowtow twice, calling out for his parents. Afterwards, the young eunuch calmed down and found it laughable. The Prime Minister and his wife had treated him only because of his daughter. If he surrendered to Wang Shigui, the empress dowager would truly be a foolish child with no one to rely on. It wasn't that he wanted to curry favor with the powerful, but he needed to rely on his conscience. If he wasn't the empress dowager, then how could he, Pan Chuan, live like this? At most, he would end up in the same situation as Zhang Dan Dan, Wang Xiao Wu, Ma Sihai, Li Changjiang, and so on. Would Prime Minister Wang invite those eunuchs to the estate as guests?

Prime Minister Wang was domineering and domineering. He had long since become an empty shell within the imperial court. The young eunuch could not stand the sight of this, so he decided to give his advice once more. Ever since he led his army out of seclusion five years ago, he had firmly occupied the position of the head of the Ministry of War and General of the Military. Initially, Wang Shuigui had a few discussions in the court, but after that, he didn't say anything for some reason.

Returning to the palace, the eunuch took the empress dowager's hand and said, "Imperial Mother, I have something to ask of you."

The empress dowager lightly patted the eunuch's hand and laughed. "Stinky brat, you're still pretending in front of your mother. What do you have to say for yourself?"

"You've long known about Prime Minister Wang's matters. If you don't take the necessary measures, you'll surely suffer in the future!"

Tong let out a sigh and said, "Wang Shigui harbors evil intentions. Mother has heard of them for a long time. The last time he was robbed, it was done by him. "But son, have you ever thought about it? Old man Wang's three dynasties were like a tree with deep roots, and he was his spy in the wilderness. You and I are probably no match for him!"

The eunuch said, "Mother, in terms of fighting spirit, I may not be able to beat him, but why can't I scare him?"

"How did you come here?" the Empress asked in alarm.

"Activate the military transformation!"

"Son, this is the responsibility of the Annihilated Nine Clans, you can't joke about it."

The eunuch said, "Mother, your Imperial Brother will not make the decision. All the important matters in the court will be decided by Old Thief Wang. If we don't take action soon, once the old thief succeeds in his plot and the inner palace is massacred, Mother, have you thought about the consequences? "

The empress dowager muttered to herself, "What do you want to do?"

"I'll send the order. I'll order the soldiers of the three armies to occupy the four gates, surround the palace, and shout loudly in front of the gates in the afternoon, asking Esteemed Empress Dowager to hold court from behind the screen."

"No, no. I am a woman, how can I dictate?"

"There is an ancient empress, and there is a martial empress. Even the emperor dares to do it. Mother, what are you afraid of?"

Tong Jade was still hesitating as she said, "Ah, child, can you let me think about it?"

"Mother, if you still think about it, your head will hit the ground!"

"..." Since we're going all out, then let's give it a try! " The empress dowager finally made up her mind. She thought for a moment, then said, "Child, who are you planning to change out of the six divisions? Do you have suitable people to choose from right now? Don't be caught unawares. "

"The Six Paths to the Four Paths is only reserved for the Old Thieves' men as a form of etiquette. I have already considered the candidates for these four divisions. They are Zhang Dan, Wang Xiaowu, Ma Sihai and Li Changjiang.

"A bunch of eunuchs." Have you made up your mind? " Her Majesty smiled.

"They might be weak in ability, but they can't use spies even if they use idiots!"

The empress dowager smiled. "Sure, we'll do as you say."

Early in the morning, Wang Shigui was holding a few maids and girls as he joked around in the hot quilt, talking about the ancient times! Cui'er said: "Master's one is really big." Little girl Hong'er said, "You've never seen a big one before, let the old master tell you a big story!" The old master said, "It's almost time for the assembly. Let's talk about it when we get here in the evening." The Fei'er lass said: "If you don't go, you will at least go forty. If you go an hour later, will they be able to turn the sky?" What else can that foolish Emperor do to you? " Yan'er said, "Master is biased. Tell them. If you don't tell them, you'll have to listen to that big story."

Helpless, the old master began to explain:

One of them was extremely imposing. One day, he went to the river to take a bath. Just as he took off his pants and sat on the shore, the words suddenly popped out. Because it was incredibly long, one end of it had actually arrived at the other side of the river. At this moment, a new daughter-in-law came to the riverside and sighed, "In the morning, when we return home, we have to take a boat to ferry us across. In the blink of an eye, a bridge has been erected. Amazing speed!" With that thought in mind, the new daughter-in-law gracefully walked over the "bridge". At this moment, another old man walked over. He was a bit puzzled. Why would there be such a strange bridge in the sky? The old man studied her for a moment, thinking that even if his new wife could pass him, she could. Thus, the old man wandered to the middle of the 'bridge'. He saw a thatched jungle, blocking out the sun. The shade was cool and the air felt very cozy. He took out his pipe, sat on the floor and lit a cigarette. After he finished smoking, he knocked the ashtray gently against the pier. Suddenly, the bridge was lifted high into the air and the old man was thrown into the river with a thump. The old man knew the water well and climbed out of the river with great difficulty. He complained, "It was a drawbridge after all. Even though the city gates were closed, no one called for it. It's a pity that my family's pipe is still there …"

Suddenly, he heard the servant report in a hurry:

"Master, something bad has happened! The army has rebelled! Surrounding the four city gates, thousands of soldiers were gathered outside the imperial court in the afternoon as well. They wielded sabers, axes, swords and halberds as they shouted, "If the empress dowager does not appear, she will not rest in peace!" "Cloud."

Prime Minister Wang quickly asked the servant girl to help him pull up his pants. Something didn't feel right, how come he wasn't wearing his underwear? After searching for a long time, he took off his pants and fork, then wore them again. He was flustered, nervous, and it took him a while to sort it out.

All his life, Old Wang had loved to dance, write and write essays. From a young age, he had followed the ancient teachings of "a gentleman doesn't speak but does not act". He had never fought with others, made him throw his weight around, fought with courage and ruthlessness, made him use his fists and kicks against others, and had even been scoffed at by a gentleman for his disdainful arguments. He had relied on his own abilities to become a Grand Scholar, and had started with the seventh rank county magistrate. He had advanced step by step until he became an outstanding official. He had not come to this world for nothing. People were afraid that they would not be satisfied. Normally, Elder Wang's life would be fine, but if he died a few years earlier, he might even end up as a loyal servant. After the late emperor died, the authority to select princes fell into his hands. This time, that old fellow suddenly became selfish. If a fool took charge, then it meant that he had the final say. In the middle of the court, he was the only one who held the throne. The civil and military officials had asked him for a report beforehand, but the young emperor had become a small puppet. At this moment, he suddenly understood one thing: it was actually so easy to rule the world!

Prime Minister Wang's ambition grew even more, so much so that it was practically effortless for him to blow the dust off his head. He replaced all of the court members with his own, leaving only the Tong Clan. Just as he was about to succeed with the help of the soldiers and push the waves forward, he didn't expect a useless nobody to appear in the middle of the road. The young eunuch may look down on people, but he was still a demon. How could he quell the chaos of the bandits with his little ability? He had also placed 80,000 soldiers at the border, and he had been firmly holding onto the military power since the beginning of the shift. Fortunately, this eunuch was a fake. Since he and his daughter had already reached that point and given birth to a little crown prince, it was no surprise to him. He was only a son-in-law and half a son. In the future, his grandson would sit in the world, and that was equal to half of his Old Wang family. That was why he could only reluctantly endure this.

He, Old Wang, had already given up on causing trouble. How could anyone dare to cause trouble? What did she mean, "If the Empress Dowager does not appear, she will die with everlasting regret"? Her Majesty was not like her foolish son. She was an intelligent person. Once she was brought under control, how could there still be a place for Wang Shigui to speak? What if we find out what happened five years ago?
