Chapter 115 Going out of the palace and going to court
On the way out of Zishan Hall, Lan Jizong's Bu Chu came close to him like a ghost. The servants carrying Bu Chu fell to the ground silently. Even Ye An didn't notice it until they got closer.
"Master Lan, this is going to scare people to death!" Ye An couldn't help complaining, while Lan Jizong smiled and said: "This is the rule in the palace. After the palace door is locked, the palace roads are cleared. Those who have important business to go out should be quiet.
Make no sound when you step, otherwise you will be suspected of disturbing the palace."
Ye An said nothing but saw no sign of Chen Lin. Lan Jizong saw him looking around and said with a smile: "Old Chen Lin has gone to help you with your questioning. He usually hates Yan Wenying, a bitch like this who eats everything inside and outside. This
I'm afraid I'll have to kill him this time."
It makes sense that if there is anyone in the palace who is the most loyal to the Tian family, it is undoubtedly Lan Jizong and Lao Chen Lin. However, Ye An said: "No! You must not kill him. Yan Wen should keep him and return him."
It’s of great use!”
"Hmph, you can keep him! Ever since he was captured by a certain family as a chamberlain, this killer has sought death more than once. He was afraid that his mouth would be pried open, which would be worse than death. Do you know that we can deal with him at will in the palace?
, but there are people outside the palace who can regulate his people at will, how can the servant live? Just rely on the clan outside the palace. If even the clan suffers, then it is useless! His precious nephew’s fingers are given to him.
How can he still live there?!"
After Lan Jizong finished speaking, he saw a drastic change in Ye An's face, and then sneered: "You can guard against outside the palace, but can you guard against collusion inside and outside the palace? Boy, do you know why the officials asked you to build the palace like an iron barrel?
Bar?"
Ye An nodded slightly: "I understand. We can neither ban the inside or outside, nor allow outsiders to extend their hands into the palace. It seems that I took it too much for granted before."
Seeing Ye Anduo's slumped state, Lan Jizong took his arm from the step and said: "Boy, the Imperial City Division you mentioned is indeed extraordinary, but it was just to guard against certain people before, now you have to do it
But it is to guard against everyone! A certain family believes that you have this ability, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will help you during this period of time when you enter the Ministry of Internal Affairs. With the will of the officials, you can open up the dark places in the forbidden area, but
Also be careful of the dark backlash, you know what a certain family means."
Lan Jizong's words are meaningful. Ye An certainly knows that the eunuchs' power in the palace is also complex. Just one of the subordinates under the control of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has the Imperial Medicine Academy, the Neidongmen Sigou, and the contract is with the Secretary, who is in charge of Gou's exchanges with the country.
There are as many as six officials in the institute, Houyuan, and Zaozuo. Even Longtu, Yuchang, and Baowen Pavilion have official officials, and even the Hanlin Academy belonging to the outer dynasty has one official who knows astronomy, calligraphy, and day pictures.
, Affairs of the Fourth Bureau of Medical Officers.
How entangled are the interests involved and how closely is the connection with foreign Korea?
Only with a true understanding can you know that the internal and external divisions of labor between the internal and external dynasties of the Song Dynasty are not as clear as it seems. The two sides are intertwined and interoperable, and although they can improve work efficiency to a certain extent, they can also cause confusion.
Lan Jizong's footsteps disappeared around the corner outside Qingning Palace. Ye An crossed his arms and saluted before leaving the imperial city through the small corner door here. The imperial guards on the palace wall saw Ye An's figure and opened the corner door without saying a word.
There was not a word during this process, and someone had obviously already said hello.
Even if they were not soldiers of the Imperial City Division, they would regard what they saw tonight as a dream...
If we want to say who is the most obedient in the imperial city, it must be these forbidden troops. They are responsible for guarding the palace and have been trained by the old Zhao family to be extremely loyal. Not to mention the eunuchs, even the civil servants do not dare to provoke them.
Of course, for Ye An, a favored minister of the official family, they were even more careful. What should be said and how should be done have long been regulated and they dare not go beyond it. Is there anything else that is the most complicated thing in the world besides this palace wall?
The winter nights are long, but for the courtiers, the time cannot change, especially as the new year is approaching, they must pay more attention to these things so as not to leave a trail for others. The people at the Yushitai can keep an eye on them all day long!
Not long after Ye Anggang returned home, he put on his court clothes and got on an ox cart again to go to Xuandemen. Along the way, he could see many official lanterns with white backgrounds and black inscriptions on them, like official positions, assignments, etc., they gathered together like a long shining dragon.
.
There are also two lanterns hanging on Ye An's bullock cart, one is the attendant of Tianzhang Pavilion, and the other is the official Tongyi. The former represents Ye An's errands, and the latter represents Ye An's salary.
Officials, and of course there is a Yunzhong Junhou who is an honorary official.
As for the "Guan Gou" who joined the Imperial City Department last night, he did not hang up a lantern. This kind of close minister who also served as an official in the inner court did not need to hang up a lantern. Secondly, Ye An did not want to be too ostentatious. People usually hang up two or three.
There are only four lanterns, Xianggong and important ministers, but for me to have so many titles at such a young age is really too "showy".
The carriage with the Privy Councilor's lantern was approaching, Ye An could not turn a blind eye, Tieniu had already consciously controlled the carriage.
"You also know the things that are forbidden. Although you are not a clean figure, at least you are not a sycophant who accepts bribes from the court and flatters others. How do you choose?"
There was a strong sense of exhaustion in Wang Zeng's voice. He had not had a good night's sleep since he knew that Zhao Zhen was going to be deposed. The more he thought about it after returning home, the more something was wrong. Although he had many doubts, he was the same as Ye An.
There is no evidence.
Ye An frowned and said: "How is your health lately, Prince? Changsheng thinks it's better for you to rest more. If your body is worn down, you won't be able to serve the country!"
"You're a kid, and now you're just talking to me about him?!" Wang Zeng didn't care about Ye An's concern. He felt that Ye An was still procrastinating and didn't want to express his attitude.
Ye An smiled bitterly and said: "The Changsheng speaks softly, how to choose is not important, but one thing can be told to the prince, there are bad people in the palace! The officials also feel that this matter is fishy, you see, Changsheng will have to stay within the palace walls again
I had to deal with the eunuchs."
"Huh?! Oh! That's it, I know it. You have to shoulder the responsibility of being imprisoned like this. You have to be careful in everything. Although it may not be possible to make it leak-proof, you must find out and eradicate the person who bewitched the king.
Henchman!"
The pertinence of these words was very obvious. Ye An smiled slightly and said: "Please rest assured, Prince, I don't have the ability to live forever, but I am very familiar with clearing the palace."
"That's great! If nothing happens, you should go out with Ying Niang, Duan Yi and others to avoid getting into trouble."
Ye An naturally agreed. Obviously Wang Zeng already knew that there was something fishy in the palace, and his words seemed to express his position. Although Wang Zeng was not a pure Qingliu when he was old, there was one thing that was undeniable. He was born in Qingliu and was also a Qingliu.
leader, he must defend his position in the government this time.
Lu Yijian already knew about Ye An's management of the Gouhuang City Division, so his carriage did not stop when passing Ye An's ox cart. In fact, both parties knew that the current situation was about to break up.
As long as Ye An investigates what happened in the palace that day, he will definitely track down Lu Yijian. Is there any need to ease the relationship in this case?
Even the superficial politeness no longer needed to be maintained. Lu Yijian's carriage drove straight past. Wang Zeng, who was in the car not far away, saw this scene and rarely relaxed. Ye An was already a very important presence in the court, especially
He is still so young. If he gives time and manages things properly, he will be able to reach the prime ministership!
