Although they reached an agreement in detail this time, Xiao Ruxue was still very confident. This was a condition that was set out after a long discussion with Tie Mo. Since these conditions were set out, it is certain that the Jin family will definitely agree.
For the Jin family, there is no loss. If Xichuan City is not given to Daming, it will be taken away by the royal Li family or other families in the future. Jin Mingwan cannot make a decision, just because she cannot see this.
On the other side, the congratulatory ceremony that lasted for a day was finally over. Tie Mo was relieved that this matter was over and he had finally passed the test. When he was walking out with Hou Shilu and Chen Xinjia, Duduo actually came over. Duduo
He didn't shy away from anything. He patted Tie Mo on the shoulder and said with a strange smile, "Tie Mo, your life will not be easy in the future. I can only wish you all the best."
Tie Mo and others immediately stopped. Hou Shilu sneered with an unhappy expression: "Ten Beile, what do you mean by this?"
"Master Hou, it seems that there are some things that you don't know yet, but the Iron Governor knows it. Iron Governor, didn't you tell Master Hou about the affairs of the Ahe Tumen Department?" Duduo shook his head with some pity.
Shaking his head, he just nodded with words and found an excuse to leave. Hou Shilu and Chen Xinjia looked at Tie Mo with doubtful eyes. Tie Mo scratched his head and smiled bitterly: "My lord, you won't listen.
Is Duduo the instigator? There is indeed something going on in the Ahe Tumen Department. Namuzhong seems to have the idea of marriage, but the matter has not been revealed yet, and I don’t know how to deal with it. How can Tie Mou go around talking nonsense?
"
"Is there really something going on?" Hou Shilu couldn't help but be a little surprised. Hou Shilu knew a little bit about the affairs of the A'he Tumen Department. In the past, Huang Taiji and Lin Danhan were all obsessed with getting Namu Zhong. After all, A'he Tumen Department
There are tens of thousands of warriors in Hetumen. But for some reason, Namu Zhong found Tiemo. Ahetumen is too far away from Yun Mansion. If you want to conquer Ahetumen, it will be too much trouble.
, so Na Muzhong's idea of marriage is a bit unrealistic no matter how you look at it.
Of course, there are other reasons why the marriage is impractical. Hou Shilu knows Tie Mo's background. That Hailanzhu is the pearl of the Horqin tribe. With Hailanzhu's shrewdness, will he allow Namuzhong to enter the Yun Mansion? The marriage?
It is very unrealistic, but Lin Danhan may not care about this, and even Huang Taiji will have many thoughts. There is no guarantee that these two people will not do anything. What Duduo said just now is clearly just to watch the fun.
mentality.
Dorgon is not a kind person. Na Muzhong caused these things. Even if Tie Mo, Lin Danhan and Huang Taiji did not have conflicts, Dorgon would find a way to make them conflict. If not, Duduo would not
He looked full of confidence.
"Before coming to Beijing, I had already pushed this rubbish to Hailanzhu. As for what's going on now, I don't know. However, no matter which family Ahhe Tumen belongs to, everything will not be smooth sailing. I don't bother to bring this up.
Even if we raise it in the court, those old guys won’t care, maybe they will let us sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers, watching the fun like Dorgon!"
Hou Shilu nodded noncommittally, took two steps, and said seriously: "You handled this matter too hastily. What do you think about letting your woman handle the matter? It doesn't matter whether there is a marriage or not.
As long as Ahe Tumen does not return to Lin Danhan or Huang Taiji, it will be a good thing for us."
Hou Shilu's idea is to maintain the status quo, but the possibility of this is very small. Huang Taiji and Lin Danhan have wanted to swallow up Ahe Tumen for more than a day or two, and now they are already on the string and have to shoot, and it is almost impossible to maintain the status quo.
Maybe. Hou Shilu looked at Tie Mo with complicated eyes. The meaning couldn't be more obvious. Now that Namu Zhong has found you, you should find a way to solve this trouble.
How can Tie Mo not understand, but he understands that it is very difficult to deal with this kind of thing, "My lord, don't look at Tie Mo like this. Tie Mo has no idea about this matter.
Let’s take it one step at a time.”
Tie Mo is not stupid, and he will never accept this easily. If this kind of thing is not handled well, Ah Tumen may not swallow it in the end, and may even offend Bu He and his son of the Horqin tribe. Tie Mo
Without nodding, Hou Shilu couldn't force him, but he just felt it was a pity. If he could really marry Na Muzhong, it would be a big help to the northeastern border of the Ming Dynasty.
In the next two days, envoys from various countries left the capital one after another, but Jin Mingwan stayed with some family soldiers. After finishing the business in the capital, Tie Mo also had to prepare to go back. The longer he stayed in the capital, the more trouble he would have.
.However, God did not seem to intend to let Tie Mo leave easily. As soon as Jin Mingwan had a clue about the matter, something happened in the palace.
After the congratulatory ceremony, Eunuch Tian, who was in charge of the harem, ordered that Queen Yi'an's bedroom be moved to the West Palace. Some maids and eunuchs helped carry things to Hanxinyuan in the West Palace. This matter seemed a bit urgent, but there was no one in the palace.
Zhang Yan also deliberately concealed her opinion, so that Tie Mo didn't know anything about it. At night, after having a deep talk with Jin Mingwan, and just after sending Jin Mingwan away, an uninvited guest came to the house. This person was Tian's father-in-law.
Rival Eunuch Bai.
Eunuch Bai was wrapped in a black robe and kept his head down, very low-key. After Eunuch Bai narrated, Tie Mo knew what happened in the palace. Eunuch Bai didn't want to wade in the muddy water, but thinking about Tie Mo
If he really conceals his power and temperament, something will go wrong in the future, and the Iron Superintendent will want to crush him to death. Isn't it just a matter of a few words?
In desperation, Eunuch Bai could only take the risk and leave the palace. After learning about Zhang Yan's situation, Tie Mo remained silent for a long time. He knew that Zhang Yan was no longer welcome in the harem, and he never thought that the change would come so quickly.
After thinking for a while, she turned to Xiao Ruxue and nodded. Xiao Ruxue understood what Tie Mo meant. After a while, a guard came into the room with a cloth bag. Throwing the bag to Eunuch Bai, Xiao Ruxue smiled and said: "In the future
If anything happens in the palace, I will have to trouble my father-in-law more."
Holding the cloth bag in his hand, Eunuch Bai felt quite helpless. He didn't want to accept the money, but he didn't dare. In the end, he could only smile awkwardly and said: "Madam, you are serious. The supervisor has been kind to our family, so of course our family will want more."
To help."
"What are you talking about, father-in-law? Although our relationship does not require these things, we have to take care of things when walking in the palace, otherwise there will not even be a satisfactory person. Father-in-law, feel free to use it. If there is not enough space in the palace, send someone else.
Just take it!" Xiao Ruxue's words sounded heart-warming, but in Eunuch Bai's ears they were like a yoke. The more money was collected, the harder it was to let it go.
Tie Mo pondered for a moment and then asked seriously: "Eunuch Bai, you have been in the palace for a long time and you understand most things. Let me ask you, what will happen to the empress if she doesn't interfere?"
Eunuch Bai couldn't help but froze for a moment, hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth and whispered in a low voice: "I don't dare to deceive the governor. Usually when this kind of thing happens in the palace, it will become more and more serious. I think the governor's heart must be on the matter of the empress."
I also know something. If there is no interference, the life of the queen will definitely not be easy in the future. This is just the beginning. From now on, the life of the queen may be..."
Eunuch Bai did not dare to say the rest. He believed that Tie Mo and the others could understand. The palace compound was crowded with people, but it was also a huge prison. After being in the palace for a long time, Eunuch Bai had seen the Tai Mo.
There are so many matters of life and death. In the harem, from concubines to palace maids, as long as they fall from the top, they are not simply a phoenix with fallen feathers, inferior to a chicken. In the harem, is there anyone with any thoughts? After entering the West Palace, Han
Xinyuan, under the torture, few could survive three years, and most of them either went crazy or died of illness. Of course, it is unknown whether they really died of illness.
This time the cabinet took the lead, and His Majesty did not stop it. If no one intervened, the ending of the empress would not be too happy. In order to preserve the reputation of the royal family and to silence the public, it seems that the best ending is to let the empress die of a sudden illness.
Eunuch Bai himself does not want to see this ending. The empress is a good person. If the empress had protected her in the early years, he might have become a piece of dirt in the palace.
After waiting for about a cup of tea, Eunuch Bai left in a hurry. Tie Mo sat in the chair, his face became colder and colder, his whole body was like a huge ice cube, "Huh, these people are really cruel.
, in order to deal with me, even a woman was not spared, and this woman had helped them before. Your Majesty... is also very heartless... She has done so many things for His Majesty, but she actually
Not as valuable as royal face..."
Xiao Ruxue frowned, feeling quite unhappy. She was not too clear about the past between Tie Mo and Zhang Yan, but she knew that Hai Lanzhu, Chang Minyue and others had objections to Zhang Yan.
To be precise, the reason those women were angry was because they were worried that getting too close to Zhang Yan would cause trouble. Sure enough, what was supposed to happen happened.
She was unhappy, but Xiao Ruxue would not be stupid enough to express it at this time. In her heart, she did not want Tie Mo to be a cold-blooded and ruthless person. If Tie Mo could ignore Zhang Yan today, then he could ignore other women tomorrow.
Safety. No matter how sensible a woman is, she will always have a selfish side.
"What are you going to do, do you care about this matter?" Xiao Ruxue sat down and asked tentatively. Tie Mo raised his head and sneered: "In charge, of course you have to care about it. Your Majesty can not care about her life or death, but I can't.
.It seems it’s time to find time to talk to Wang Chengen, huh.”
Tie Mo is not stupid. Cheng Ji ordered those people to set up this situation just to use Zhang Yan as a hook to lure Tie Mo over. As long as Tie Mo directly intervenes in the affairs of the harem, no matter what the result is, it will definitely make His Majesty very angry.
dissatisfaction. Although Zhu Youjian is now wary, at least the relationship between the two parties is still harmonious. If they break up because of Zhang Yan's matter, it will really be a bit more gain than loss.
Zhang Yan's affairs must be taken care of, but we must not do things according to the wishes of the cabinet, otherwise others will lead her away.
"Meet Wang Chengen? Are you crazy? Don't forget, he watched your majesty grow up, how can he help you without your majesty?" Xiao Ruxue was very surprised and refused. Tie Mo waved his hand and said confidently
: "It is precisely because he is thinking about His Majesty that I am looking for him."
Early the next morning, Tie Mo found an excuse to enter the palace. When he came to Zhang Yan's original residence and took a look, he saw that the courtyard was a little empty, and the original palace maids and eunuchs had also left. Hey, this was really fast enough.
Tie Mo was not in a hurry to go to Hanxinyuan, but found a room at the East Court Police Factory and sat down. The East Police Factory, referred to as Dongchang, used to be as famous as Jinyiwei Town Fusi.
In some aspects, the Inner Court Yamen is even more majestic than the Jinyiwei Zhenfusi.
Unfortunately, by the fifth year of Chongzhen, the Dongchang Yamen was no longer what it used to be, and there were a lot less people here. Although Zhu Youjian, who had reacted in the past two years, tried his best to rebuild the factory guard, it was a pity that he had little success. Everything was impossible.
It's the same. Destroying something can be done with just a few hands, but rebuilding it is extremely difficult. Tie Mo came to Dongchang Yamen and sat down to drink tea. Although no one was asked to find Wang Chengen, Wang Chengen was so shrewd that he couldn't do it.
There may be no response.
I was sitting in the East Factory. If Wang Chengen, the chief eunuch in charge of rituals, had not responded at all, he would not be alive now. Sure enough, after about an hour, Wang Chengen appeared in the courtyard.
After entering the courtyard gate, Wang Chengen waved his hand and left the two eunuchs beside him outside. He entered the room, bowed his hands and gave a salute, and said with a smile: "The Iron Supervisor suddenly came to the East Police Factory, but there is something you want us to do."
Help?"
"Haha, Eunuch Wang really guessed it right. I really want to trouble my father-in-law with something. I heard that Madam Zhang has recently moved to Hanxinyuan. I would like to ask Eunuch Wang to help me and take care of her more!"
Tie Mo spoke lightly, but Wang Chengen's expression changed again and again. Although I heard that the relationship between Tie Mo and Zhang Niangniang was unclear before, it was just rumors after all, and no one has been able to provide any evidence so far.
But what Tie Mo said now was tantamount to taking the initiative to admit it. How could Wang Chengen not be angry? He glared with a stiff face and said, "The Superintendent's words are indeed meaningful. It seems that the Superintendent does not need to worry about the harem."
Right? Our family will naturally take care of your wife's affairs."
"Why should the prince be angry? Believe it or not, there are some things that Tie doesn't want to see, and many things are beyond his expectation. Please pay more attention to the matter about the empress. Tie doesn't want the empress to get involved.
What an accident, I believe the prince doesn’t want to cause any trouble to His Majesty, right?”
Tie Mo looked deeply at Wang Chengen, as if he wanted to see through Wang Chengen. Wang Chengen felt anger rushing to his forehead, but he quickly calmed down at the moment when it was about to explode. He had to consider what Tie Mo said, yes, no
What should have happened has happened, and what we have to do now is to minimize the damage.
If Zhang Niangniang's life is not easy, or even loses her life, then Tie Mo may do something in a rage. An irreparable rift in the relationship between Tie Mo and His Majesty will not be beneficial to either party. On the contrary,
It is of great benefit to the six departments of the cabinet.
