Qin Fu's eyebrows twitched slightly, so small that it was difficult for outsiders to notice.
The people in the palace are sinister and the ecological environment is bad. Eunuch Qin can only protect himself by paralyzing his face, making it difficult for others to guess his state of mind.
But people also have seven emotions and six desires, joy, anger, sorrow, and joy. When Eunuch Qin couldn't hold it in, he could only release his mood by twitching his eyebrows.
Wucao! Eunuch Qin exclaimed in his heart, and finally took advantage of Bi Yun's unstable mind to find out. Old Bi actually had a handle on the Zhang family! And it seems that this handle is big enough to blackmail the Zhang family!
Although Lao Bi refused to give details, as long as he knew that Lao Bi had this thing in his hand, it was important information.
Returning to Qianqing Palace, Qin Fu went to see the emperor as usual. At this time, the emperor was alone reading Taoist scriptures, and those who were a little closer were his own people.
After Eunuch Qin reported his work, he seemed to be chatting and said, "I met Bi Yun on the road just now and had a few chats. But from what he said, it seems that he has recently taken advantage of the Zhang family."
Huh? This topic successfully aroused the interest of Emperor Jiajing, "What is Bi Yun doing with the Zhang family?"
Qin Fu replied lightly: "What else can I do? I guess I just want to make some money. After all, everyone knows that the Zhang family is rich."
If we want to choose the richest man in the capital, brothers Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling are definitely strong contenders.
Legend has it that the Zhang family owns as many as three-digit stores in the capital and along the Northern Canal.
If the above is not enough, then there is also the fact that the Zhang family is the largest private salt merchant in the north, and they sell private salt almost "legally".
This is all because at the beginning, Emperor Xiaozong Hongzhi, who was hailed as a wise emperor, issued an edict, granting the Zhang family permission to handle the residual salt from the Changlu Saltworks.
The so-called residual salt, also called residual salt, is the extra portion beyond the rated official salt produced by salt farm households. It is also the largest source of private salt.
So it is conceivable that the Zhang family is rich, but now the Zhang family's power is obviously beginning to decline again.
So why would a very wealthy family whose power has begun to decline be targeted by others? It is probably because of money.
So Qin Fu replied, "Bi Yun probably wants to make money." It was just like human nature, and there was nothing wrong with him at all.
Emperor Jiajing shook his head and commented with a pun: "Then Biyun's pattern is small."
Does it mean that Bi Yun only knows that the greedy pattern is small, or that he has a handle but doesn't want to create other patterns in the Zhang family?
If he were a second-rate eunuch, he might have said happily at this moment: "Long live my lord, he is so wise and powerful, I wish he could just give him some advice."
Then every once in a while, I would feel strange, how could I be rejected by the emperor when I was obviously trying to flatter him?
Please give me some advice. Can your Majesty tell me directly and with eloquent words that you should go to death immediately to frame Empress Dowager Zhang and her natal family?
Hearing those words, the emperor must have thought, am I such a shameless person in your heart?
But Eunuch Qin would only pretend to be confused and said: "After all, people die for wealth and birds die for food. Long live the Lord, let's take another look. Maybe Bi Yun will be in line with the Long Live Lord's wishes."
In fact, eunuchs like Qin Fu knew that Emperor Jiajing did not like to see the Zhang family in his heart.
It's not because the Zhang family is such a scumbag, but because behind the Zhang family is the Queen Mother Zhang.
The unrelated Empress Dowager Zhang was the person who made Emperor Jiajing feel insecure. Moreover, when Empress Dowager Zhang regarded herself as the old master of the palace, she bullied Emperor Jiajing's biological mother, Empress Dowager Jiang.
But the emperor's dislike is all in his heart. Whether he wants to express his dislike publicly is another matter. This is generally the case with politics.
Therefore, when it comes to the issue of the Zhang family, Qin Fu should be as cautious as possible in his words, and should not say anything without thinking that the emperor does not want to see the Zhang family.
As long as the emperor feels that "Bi Yun is really difficult to use", that will be enough.
Time passes, and every drop of water penetrates the stone, while at the same time strengthening one's own sense of presence in this matter.
When Bi Yun made the emperor unable to bear it, the emperor would think, why not try Qin Fu instead?
The emperor who pays attention to checks and balances will probably not let the old man from Prince Xing's Mansion who has already occupied the ceremonial office monopolize all the key positions. He is another option.
After returning to his room and sending away his attendants, Eunuch Qin once again entered into his daily time of solitude and introspection.
But today, his mind was once again occupied by the name Qin Dewei. Judging from Bi Yun's words today, this person's character is so prickly that it makes people very worried.
Originally, I didn't want to have any contact with Qin Dewei, as this would be best for everyone and the safest, but Qin Dewei's character is really uneasy.
Do you want to take a risk and find a way to get Qin Dewei out of the capital and stop playing in the muddy waters of the capital?
Qin Dewei didn't know that someone had the idea of getting him out of the capital, but as a true time traveler, Qin Dewei wouldn't care even if he knew.
You want to get out of here a lot. If you are afraid of this or that, then why not do anything?
What he is thinking about now is, with the post in his hand and the news about Xu Miaoxuan, how to arrange it tomorrow?
After some comparison, Qin Dewei ranked Master Xia Yanxia first.
This choice was really not made because Master Xia had the largest official position, the highest status, and the most popularity, but because of Master Xia's character.
Judging from historical data, he was a very arrogant person.
Although I didn't mean to do it on purpose, in fact I had left Master Xia dry for two or three days, and I was afraid something would happen if I left it dry any longer.
Although Qin Dewei didn't think he had done anything wrong, he had no choice but to make Master Xia have a high official position, high status, and popularity.
The adult world is always so helpless.
Even if you go to visit Master Xia, you must find a way to resolve the previous problems, otherwise the arrogant person will always have a little grudge in his heart.
Qin Dewei is actually quite good at figuring out other people's emotions, but most of the time he disdains or is too lazy to figure it out. For example, when facing Mr. Feng, he loves to do so!
So Qin Dewei, who had made up his mind, set out before dawn the next day and stayed near the alley entrance of Master Xia's house.
It wasn't until it got dark that I saw Master Xia's official sedan coming out of his home and leaving with his attendants.
But Qin Dewei went to take care of it. After watching Master Xia's official sedan disappear from sight, he walked to the gate of Xia's house and once again put in the name card to pay his respects.
This time, Qin Dewei was not treated lightly. The receptionist who was responsible for entertaining guests personally received him and led Qin Dewei to the side room of the hall that served as a temporary living room.
Mr. Xi said regretfully: "Friend Qin, you are only a few steps late. The proprietor has just left home, otherwise we would have already met."
Qin Dewei said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, I'll wait here."
So Qin Dewei sat here and waited until it was almost evening before Master Xia came back from outside.
The guest receptionist personally went to greet Master Xia outside the Yimen, and then reported: "The Nanjing scholar named Qin Dewei has been waiting for the proprietor for a day."
Xia Yan said in surprise: "One day?"
The receptionist said with certainty: "He came here early in the morning to wait, and he hasn't left until now."
This is so true! Master Xia nodded with satisfaction and ordered: "Take it to the study and talk!"
