Nights in late spring are when the temperature is comfortable.
Outside the Nuan Pavilion of Bailu Palace, Sun Long and Wei Chao were waiting outside with relevant people serving the emperor. Dozens of men and women did not hear a word.
After waiting in silence for too long, Wei Chao had nothing to say and said to Sun Long, the eunuch in charge of Qianqing Palace: "Director Chen has been in for half an hour. He is truly a saint."
Sun Long smiled and said to Wei Chao: "Are you a monkey boy with hot eyes?"
Wei Chao sighed and said, "How old am I? If I could be like Factory Supervisor Chen, who worked as a factory supervisor until the age of thirty-six or seventeen, I could laugh out loud in my dreams. Otherwise, if I could be like Zhang Cheng and act alone, I would be considered a glorious ancestor." "
Sun Long sighed and said: "You and I, people without roots, can't talk about honoring our ancestors. We only hate the poverty of our families, so we took this road. As long as we have two acres of thin farmland to survive the hard life, it is better than having no roots."
Wei Chao heard this and was touched. He sighed and said in a low voice: "Manager, we have been serving the emperor for a long time and we can't hold back our urine. What should we do? Even though I put two pieces of gauze on it, it's all wet."
Sun Long said: "When it's your turn, you can't drink water or eat an hour in advance. If you can't bear to be hungry, just put two pieces of candy in your hand and eat one when you feel dizzy."
In fact, the Wei Dynasty knew all this common sense, so they pretended not to understand because they wanted to curry favor with Sun Long. Hearing Sun Long's concern, he climbed up the pole and said, "Thank you, manager, for the tip. We have been sweeping the land for two years before we were adopted as godfathers." Recommended to the emperor. My godfather is often away from the palace, but no one here cares about me."
When Sun Long heard that he wanted to become his godfather, he smiled and said: "You kid is insatiable. Eunuch Zhang Jing is a famous person in the royal family. With such a solid backing, why are you still thinking about it? Besides, I am the manager and you are the sidekick. Don’t talk nonsense.”
The Wei Dynasty also understood this common sense, but saying it this way still showed the intention of being flattery. When the goal was achieved, they just got off the donkey.
...
At this time, in the palace, Zhu Yijun had already explained various requirements for the abolition of Dongchang to Chen Ju. This abolition of Dongchang was Zhu Yijun's second major operation on the palace.
Different from the previous restructuring, Zhu Yijun was very cautious about Chen Ju's next arrangements this time.
After careful consideration, Chen Ju could only be reused and could not be dismissed. In this conversation, Zhu Yijun first gave some vague praise to Chen Ju for his work in the past year when he took over Dongchang. As soon as the topic changed, he started asking for bribes and extorting money from Dongchang. I hammered out a few words on everything.
After the rubbing was finished, Chen Ju thought that the best result for himself was to return to the ceremonial supervisor and still write the pen. Zhu Yijun concluded: "In the past year, I saw that your heart was not in the east factory, so I advocated quietness and criticized the many prisoners in the factory. He wanted to protect himself, but he is not a person who is good at spying on information." After hearing this, Chen Ju knelt down to apologize.
Zhu Yijun waved his hand to tell him to get up, and continued: "I am not criticizing you. I just see that you have always paid attention to the political situation and the economy, and often made comments about managing the world and benefiting the people. You are also honest and self-responsible - you are a civil servant."
After Chen Ju heard this, there were beads of sweat on his head. He entered the palace in the 26th year of Jiajing, when he was nine years old. He was deeply influenced by the palace, and he also knew how Shizong and Mu Zong used the methods of their ministers.
Today, I was rubbed hard by the twelve-year-old emperor, and I deeply realized that it is not easy to serve as an official under a monarch who is very clear-eyed and decisive. He knelt down and said tremblingly: "The emperor does not treat slaves as stupid, but puts slaves in harm's way." At this place, the slave has not yet..."
Zhu Yijun waved his hand to interrupt and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid. I still want to make great use of you. Zhang Hong is old, but you are young and powerful. Don't lose heart at this time." After hearing this sentence, Chen Ju's heart was pounding.
Zhu Yijun said: "I want to set up an attendant's room and have a palace minister, and I am interested in the British Duke. The British Duke is older, how will he deal with complicated things? In the future, you have to help him shoulder half of this burden."
After hearing this, Chen Ju exchanged tears with tears. He choked and said: "I will try my best to die!"
After hearing this, Zhu Yijun burst into laughter and said, "Do you regard the attendant's room as a dragon's den and a tiger's den? How can I use you to go through fire and water? My idea is that in the future, all officials, internal and external, who will be of great use will be in the attendant's room and be buried.
I have trained you for several years. As the representative of the inner court, you will assist me in clarifying the inner palace in the attendant's room. Your responsibility is not small. Well, I ask you to be cautious in doing things and have the intention to correct the current shortcomings." After hearing this, Chen Ju could only thank you.
It's just the emperor's favor.
Zhu Yijun waited for him to calm down from the ecstasy, and then said: "Under the palace ministers, I want to appoint a minister of the inner court. According to my ideas, you first sort out the boundaries of the responsibilities of the minister of the inner court, the attendant's office and the chief of etiquette.
I have thought carefully about the coordination and communication between us, and have come up with the regulations for running errands. Starting tomorrow, you can think about this matter."
...
By the time Zhu Yijun finished explaining his conception of the entire functional positioning of the Attendant's Room, it was already Wuzheng.
Chen Ju took a dozen notes and finally concluded: "The emperor established the Chamber of Attendants and divided the authority of the Supervisor of Ceremonies and the Cabinet. The main purpose was to mediate in the middle and mix up the government orders. I have understood it. It is really holy.
You are so smart that I can’t even hope to catch up with you!”
When Zhu Yijun heard that he completely understood what he meant, he nodded and said: "It's easy to find someone loyal in the palace. It's not easy to find someone who is loyal and sensible. It's easy for you to do it." Chen Ju knelt down again, wishing he could open his chest and cut open his chest.
Take out a red heart and show it to Zhu Yijun.
After talking about political affairs, Zhu Yijun asked: "Is there anything suspicious about the death of Concubine Qi?" In fact, Zhu Yijun already had the answer in his heart, and asking at this time was just to test Chen Ju's loyalty.
Chen Ju pondered for a moment, and then Fang replied: "Your Majesty, I personally inspected Concubine Qi's body with experienced hands. It was indeed caused by blunt force blows. But it should not have been caused by the glazed tiles on the roof of Ningcui Hall."
Zhu Yijun didn't see what he expected, and there was no fluctuation on his face. He nodded calmly and said: "You continue."
Chen Ju said: "I received a hint from the emperor that night and inspected it carefully in Ningcui Hall. The couch where the concubine played with Shuanglu showed signs of movement. It was covered up by the broken tiles and dust on the roof of the palace. It was difficult to find it unless I searched carefully.
Discover. This is the only thing that can be done by those who are determined to do it."
"On the floor of Ningcui Palace, where the blood of the concubine and the palace maid splattered, there was no deviation from the direction of the wound on the body. But I turned over the couch and found a blood stain at the bottom of the couch, but there was no blood around it - there are two
, it is certain that the death of the concubine was not an accident, but a murder."
After hearing this, Zhu Yijun showed a wry smile and a sentimental look on his face. He whispered: "How could Wu Fu happen to me? My mother was too careful. Poor Ye, she died unexpectedly!"
Chen Ju has lived in three dynasties and has heard and witnessed many bloody things in the palace. However, he was not a person involved before, and he only saw such things as fun at first.
At this time, he was involved in the tragedy in the inner palace, and he realized how much bloodshed his predecessors had gone through. He was sweating coldly, fearing that he would be involved in the fight between the emperor and the queen mother, and die without a burial place.
Seeing his pale face, Zhu Yijun smiled and said: "I shouldn't have said much that day. I suggested that Queen Mother Rensheng bring Concubine Qi to Xiyuan. Because of my accidental concern, the queen mother became suspicious - not to kill Boren.
Boren actually died because of me." He told me what happened at Ciqing Palace the day before coming to Xiyuan.
Chen Ju took a long breath and his pounding heart calmed down. He advised: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, everyone in the harem is extremely sensitive to the Lord's favor - Concubine Qi was favored by the Emperor, so she should resign and come to Xiyuan.
It’s about fun. She should know that Ciqing Palace only wanted to find the reason why Sejong’s concubines came to Xiyuan!”
"The emperor is visiting the two palaces, and he only brings two concubines from Mu Zong's time - Concubine Qi. Wouldn't you rather not be afraid of yourself? You are asking for your own death, so the emperor does not need to feel sad."
After hearing this nonsense, Zhu Yijun couldn't help but feel comforted. He calmed down and asked: "Do you know who did this? Why don't you act in the palace, but act like this?"
A lot of trouble?"
Chen Ju thought about the people in the palace, and he already had the answer in his heart. But he replied: "I can't guess it without verification. But the person in charge must know the inside story of Xiyuan Construction, and it took a lot of trouble to block others.
He kills three birds with one stone - he is a man who is loyal to the affairs of the country."
This hint was quite accurate. Zhu Yijun listened and said calmly: "The person in charge is somewhat loyal and hinted to me in advance. After all, he did it under orders, and I don't blame him. - You can step back, I am tired." 1603360996
