Chapter 14 The Confused Minister of the Ministry of Industry
Jiang Ling was convinced.
This is the first time she feels convinced by someone.
Xu Shouyun's thinking is so tricky that it is not something ordinary people can think of.
Even the solution is extremely different.
It is a pity that such great talents cannot be used openly and can only rely on this method. It is really a pity.
"Your idea is very good. I will inform the empress. If I take power at that time, I will definitely support you."
Jiang Ling spoke, she couldn't wait now.
When he heard about the promotion, Xu Shouyun was immediately overjoyed: "Thank you sir, I wish you great promotion and take power soon. When the time comes, your subordinates will unite with you to harm the Wei Dynasty and serve the Emperor of Chu."
Xu Shouyun was a little happy. Who wouldn't be happy about getting promoted? It can be seen from today's situation that being an official is really fun.
He was originally going to be beaten, but unexpectedly he was promoted to a first-class eunuch, and even though he escaped a beating, Wang Gui still treated him with respect.
It would be great if it could be upgraded a few more grades.
After Jiang Ling left, Xu Shouyun stopped talking and returned to his residence while the night was getting dark.
However, as soon as I returned to the other courtyard, I met a middle-aged eunuch who was returning to his room carrying a lantern.
The two looked at each other, and Xu Shouyun smiled. Just when he was about to say a few nice words, the latter's voice sounded first.
"Master Xu?"
His eyes were curious.
Xu Shouyun was a little curious, how did the other party know his name?
"Your Majesty, you are serious. Who are you?"
Xu Shouyun asked.
"Oh, slave Li Jing, who is in charge of the affairs of Yuanning Palace, I really envy you when I heard that Mr. Xu is appreciated by His Majesty."
The other party walked over quickly with a smile on his face.
The fact that Xu Shouyun was appreciated by the emperor has spread throughout the palace. After all, they have not seen the emperor much since the empress ascended the throne.
The empress is like this. She has a harem of three thousand beauties. The problem is that the empress doesn't like it and she focuses on national affairs.
In the past, when Emperor Renzong was around, he would at least favor a certain concubine from time to time, and he would also reward these eunuchs, so it was not surprising.
It's different now. It's a good thing to see the emperor, not to mention being appreciated by his majesty.
No matter what, the future prospects of such people are better than those of eunuchs, so you have to fawn over them when you see them.
"It turns out to be Eunuch Li. Yuanning Palace is the palace of Concubine Zhou. It's not far from Concubine Liu's. We can still travel together in the future."
Xu Shouyun smiled and spoke.
As soon as the latter heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "Yes, yes, yes, I would like to ask Sir Xu to take care of you and take care of me in the future."
Li Jing smiled and spoke, but Xu Shouyun could clearly feel that Li Jing's Qi and blood were relatively strong. Based on his Qi machine, he could tell that Li Jing was at least a seventh-level warrior.
A seventh-level warrior cannot escape as a junior commander in the army. Unexpectedly, he is only a first-class eunuch in the palace.
This is really a waste of natural resources.
After the two briefly exchanged a few words, they went back to their houses.
I have to go to Concubine Liu's palace to serve her tomorrow, and I don't know what will happen.
An hour later.
In the palace, several figures appeared and came outside the Yangxin Hall.
"Your Majesty, Li Jie, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, Meng Chen, the academician, and Liu Yun, the imperial censor of the Inspectorate, are already waiting outside the hall."
Outside the Yangxin Hall, the eunuch's voice sounded, breaking the silence.
"Enter the palace."
In the hall, Chu Yunrou's voice sounded, calm and indifferent.
At that moment, the palace door opened, and the three courtiers slowly walked into the palace, but there were some different exchanges in their eyes.
They were curious about what the emperor had summoned them to do.
"Long live my emperor, long live the emperor."
The three of them entered the palace and worshiped the empress. In front of the jade case, Jiang Ling's eyes fell on the memorial, and then she said, "I heard that Mr. Li Jie is from the Suyun area, right?"
Jiang Ling asked, this question was a bit puzzling.
But Li Jie did not dare to be verbose and answered directly: "Your Majesty, I am indeed from Su Yun's area."
After receiving the answer, Jiang Ling did not rush to ask. Instead, he watched the memorial and concentrated on it. After a while, he approved the memorial.
Then he continued to speak: "Where is Su Yun?"
As soon as this question came up, the three of them were a little confused. They called us over in the middle of the night and asked about this kind of thing?
But the other party was the emperor, so Li Jie could only answer honestly.
In this way, the Empress of Wei's next questions became more and more weird and abstract.
"Suzhou?"
"Are there any delicious foods in Suzhou?"
"What else?"
"How does it taste?"
"Oh, are there any allusions to Suzhou? I want to learn about it."
Jiang Ling's question was indeed boring, so much so that the other two ministers were a little tired.
In the end, after half an hour of going back and forth, Jiang Ling began to ask another person. The questions were the same as before, and they were all useless words.
It's been like this for an hour and a half. I thought it was over and we could talk about the main topic, but I didn't expect that a eunuch would bring breakfast.
"My three beloved ministers are very loyal to me, the Great Wei Dynasty. They have worked hard all day long, which is a big thank you to you. This is the Eight Treasures Treasure Soup in the palace. It can replenish your qi and nourish your body. Drink it slowly."
The three of them were a little confused about the situation, but His Majesty gave it to them and they still had to drink.
The soup was extremely hot, and the three of them blew it for a while. After drinking it, they felt really comfortable, but this wasted another three to four quarters of an hour.
In this way, the three of them rested for a while, and then the Queen's voice sounded.
"Okay, dear friends, it's getting late, go back and rest early."
Jiang Ling spoke up, leaving the three of them completely confused.
When you call us over at night, are you really asking us questions?
Your Majesty, do you have a cat cake in your head?
The three of them were really speechless. They thought something big was going on, so they called them over all night, just to ask where they were from and what specialties and delicacies they had at home.
Are you sick?
"Long live my emperor, long live the emperor."
But no matter what, the three of them bowed their heads, said long live, and left the hall.
After the three of them left the hall and walked out of the palace, Liu Yun's voice sounded.
"What is the purpose of His Majesty calling us here this time? I thought he was going to talk about converting rice into mulberry, but what does this mean?"
"Yes, I felt the same way on the way here. I had already thought about the rhetoric. What does this mean?"
Bachelor Meng Chen is also a little confused.
"I don't know, no matter what. Anyway, the matter of converting rice into mulberry has been decided by Mr. Ge. There are too many rights and wrongs behind this, so we don't want to get involved."
"If His Majesty asks, we will tell you the pros and cons. No one will be offended, and we must not get involved in this matter."
Li Jie said, "They are the most stable neutral faction. They just want to do their own things well and don't want to cause trouble.
That's all.
"Well, don't cause trouble."
"You really can't cause trouble."
The two of them seconded the motion.
In the Yangxin Hall, after the three people had completely left, Jiang Ling spoke.
"Notice further, all the eunuchs and maids in the palace are not allowed to spread rumors about the arrival of these three people today, and those who disobey the order will be severely punished."
Jiang Ling spoke up, and Chu Yunrou on the side couldn't understand.
But she will not refuse the emperor's order.
Chapter completed!
