During this period, the thing that Jiang Ling struggled with the most was the imperial party.

The royalists in the court have long since disappeared. She urgently needs a group of people to support her, listen to her words, and have certain means.

But after all calculations, I really never thought about letting the eunuch be my sword.

And she fully recognized every word Xu Shouyun said.

The biggest fundamental problem that causes trouble for party members is that they will stick together, and the power they eventually form will not be weaker than the power of the emperor.

If the emperor is strong, they will choose to bow their heads, but if the emperor's power is weak, they will go further.

But eunuchs are different. They are not from the imperial examination, nor are they serious scholars. They are a group of domestic slaves.

The power of a domestic slave comes from the master, which is a power that no one else can give.

Therefore, what Xu Shouyun said is not wrong at all. If the eunuch is given power, the eunuch will help him unconditionally.

However, Jiang Ling also has new questions.

"Then wouldn't the eunuchs collude with some vassal officials to murder the emperor?"

Jiang Ling asked.

As soon as he said this, Xu Shouyun immediately shook his head: "Sir, eunuchs are not saints, so they naturally lose themselves in the face of wealth and power."

"But no matter how much they collude, what is their plot? It's nothing more than money, and the source of power is the emperor."

"They clearly know who has given them such superior power?"

"And there are so many eunuchs that they can't even be counted. It doesn't matter if they change one every month. Anyway, the removal of eunuchs is not a big deal. It is completely the emperor's decision."

Xu Shouyun looked very calm.

The main reason why eunuchs were able to flourish in the Ming Dynasty was that it was very troublesome to remove officials. Eunuchs are domestic slaves. It is none of your business if I remove my slaves?

After all, whether it’s etiquette or national law, there’s nothing that says a master is not allowed to remove the power of a slave, right?

The more Jiang Ling listened, the more excited she became.

Yes, no one can make mistakes without being a sage, so what if the eunuch is a bad guy? But he does things for himself wholeheartedly.

If he does well, let him continue to do it; if he doesn't do well, fire him directly. What can he do?

Thinking of this, Jiang Ling couldn't wait to draft this matter now.

"Sir, what do you think of this?"

Xu Shouyun spoke up and asked Jiang Ling with a smile.

"The idea is okay, but I can't mention it directly to His Majesty. I need to think about it slowly."

"But the fact that you proposed this idea really helped me find a new way of thinking. When the time comes, I can cultivate you and let you take charge."

"Of course, you must also make more useful suggestions, so that I can push you forward."

"It won't be long before I may have to leave the Wei Dynasty. Sooner or later, this position will be yours."

Jiang Ling is not stupid. She can see that Xu Shouyun wants to take this opportunity to rise to power, so it is best to give Xu Shouyun a cake at this time.

Indeed, Xu Shouyun proposed this idea partly for himself.

If the Wei Dynasty established an eunuch party, it would definitely be beneficial to me as a eunuch.

Of course, Xu Shouyun also knew that even if he came up with the idea, he would not be able to take charge of the eunuch party.

This is simply unreasonable, unless the emperor is a fool.

"Please rest assured, my lord, that my subordinates will do their best. But if your lord is willing, can you give me some official positions?"

"My subordinate seems to have provoked someone in the palace."

Xu Shouyun smiled and mentioned this matter incidentally.

"Provoked someone?"

"Who?"

Jiang Ling is curious.

"There is a eunuch named Chen Yun next to Concubine Liu. He has objections to me. After all, someone was suddenly placed in Yanfu Palace. It is normal for Chen Yun to have objections to his subordinates."

"It's just that Concubine Liu has a slight affection for her subordinates, which caused conflicts. She is only a first-class eunuch, and Chen Yun is a fifth-class eunuch. I really can't afford to offend her."

"If possible, you can transfer me away from Yanfu Palace."

Xu Shouyun used retreat to advance.

After hearing this, Jiang Ling was silent for a moment, and then said: "You are mine, no one in the palace dares to cause trouble for you."

"If a promotion is too sudden, it will be noticed by others."

"Need a reason."

Jiang Ling thought for a moment and realized that it was not difficult for Xu Shouyun to be promoted. It was all just a word from her.

But with a sudden promotion, what is the charm of an ordinary eunuch? Will he be noticed by others? This is the key point.

After a while, Jiang Ling asked Xu Shouyun to wait here.

Then leave on your own.

About five-quarters of an hour later, Jiang Ling appeared, holding a pair of green agate earrings in her hand, and handed one to Xu Shouyun.

"This is Your Majesty's favorite earring. It was just stolen from the Hall of Meditation. When the time comes, I will inform Your Majesty that one of the earrings is missing. Your Majesty cannot remember where it was lost. I will take the initiative to offer a reward in the palace for it.

The eunuchs went to look for it."

"You only need to wait three days and hand over the earrings. You will be credited with a great achievement then."

"It is more reasonable to directly promote you to an official position."

Jiang Ling spoke.

This is the reason she came up with. I won’t say it’s particularly good, but it’s absolutely fine and there’s nothing wrong with the logic at all.

"Thank you, sir."

Xu Shouyun saluted the other party.

"It's a small matter. As I said before, you have just entered the palace. Even if I want to promote you, it will take a certain amount of time."

"And after you and I met some time ago, I went back and thought about it for a long time."

"The Emperor of Chu sent us here because he hopes that we can take root in the Wei Dynasty, so we must give full play to our strengths."

"Then we must think about Wei in everything, especially in the early stage. If we act rashly before we have complete control of the overall situation, it will be a small gain but a big gain."

"Can you understand this?"

Jiang Ling continued to draw the cake, but Xu Shouyun really liked to eat this cake.

"My subordinates understand."

"Only the real thing will not be seen as false."

Xu Shouyun knows this truth very well. Throughout the ages, whatever is truest is the truth.

As a spy, if you want to remain unnoticed, you must not reveal any clues.

The idea of ​​serving the Wei wholeheartedly is very good, and it gives people a feeling that it is difficult to distinguish between loyalty and treachery.

Just like playing Go, all the previous handicaps are for the key piece.

Xu Shouyun knew this truth in his heart, and he had to admire Jiang Ling's ideological awareness. Emperor Chu sent such a person here, and it was indeed right.

I watched so many spy dramas in my previous life, but the biggest mistake I made was that they were too purposeful.

Moisturizing things silently is the way to go.

"Okay, then you go back first. If anything happens, I will call you."

Jiang Ling, who received two great pieces of good news in one go, was already blooming at this moment.

She is now anxious to go back and deal with this matter.

"Sir, walk slowly."

Xu Shouyun saluted and then left quietly.

Half an hour later.

Jiang Ling sent another message to Yao Guangyun.
