Sun An is a very common name, but this old eunuch is not ordinary, because he is the eunuch in charge of the imperial court, the first among the servants in the palace!
The person in charge of the imperial court is naturally the closest attendant of the emperor, and the person in charge of the case means helping the emperor handle official affairs.
In addition to the case of the imperial commander, Sun An also has another identity that is well known to all the officials, that is, he is the commander-in-chief of the Qianqi Camp of the Emperor's personal army.
This means that Sun An is the emperor's spy. Through this spy, the emperor can learn key information about the outer dynasty, the capital, and even the whole country.
The reason why Sun An came here in person was not a coincidence.
The emperor has always had a favorable eye for Chu Wensheng, but due to some reasons, he could not extend an olive branch directly, and always had to temper Chu Wensheng's spirit.
Of course, the emperor didn't expect that he didn't understand at all. The more he rubbed Chu Wensheng, the angrier Chu Wensheng became, and the angrier he became, the less lazy he was to talk to the emperor.
After the emperor learned that Chu Wensheng was in charge of Wuzhao Palace, he specifically told Sun An that if Chu Wensheng came to the palace to lead people to repair Wuzhao Palace, he should observe it carefully and report to the emperor at any time.
The emperor had revealed something in front of Sun An before, and he was obviously planning to re-employ Chu Wensheng. Sun An was also a good person. When he heard that people from the Ministry of Industry were coming, he immediately came over, but he didn't expect that it was not the case.
Chu Wensheng is Chu Qing, the son of Chu Wensheng.
Although he is not the rightful owner, he is the only son of the rightful owner. Chu Wensheng’s rise to prominence is just around the corner, so it’s not a bad idea to get acquainted with him in advance.
"Master Chu, do you still know how to do civil engineering?" Sun An smiled.
"I understand a little bit, I understand a little bit."
Chu Qing glanced sideways at Wuzhao Palace, his face full of depression.
This is not the scope of renovation at all, okay? We should find a developer for this matter.
"I am a hero and a good man, not bad."
"You show your love."
A trace of suspicion flashed across Chu Qing's face.
How did this old eunuch get into the world of Buddha? Not to mention that the emperor didn't want to see his father. Didn't this old eunuch know that? He was rushing to praise himself here. The information was too limited.
"My family doesn't know much about civil engineering, but I heard that the work is due in less than two months. I don't know if it's too late."
"There's enough time."
Chu Qing had to say this even if it was too late. If it was too late and this matter reached the ears of the emperor, my father would definitely be in trouble.
Sun An also made unintentional remarks and asked casually: "We remember that your Majesty told us about this matter a long time ago. The construction has not started yet. Why has it been delayed for so long?"
Chu Qing had already made plans, and without blinking an eye, he said: "My dear, you don't know something. Just to build this Wuzhao Palace, my father is really worried. He thinks about it during the day and at night. He thinks about it all the time.
This is not another place, it is the palace. This job is not given by others, but by His Majesty. How can it not be done well? So every day I draw drawings, draw during the day, draw at night, just draw, be sure to do it
Keep improving to satisfy His Majesty, that's why it took so long. As the saying goes, haste makes waste, just the drawings, my father spent a long, long, long, long time on them, and this is not the end of it."
A strange expression flashed across Sun An's face: "Master Chu, how come you pay so much attention to this matter?"
"Look at what you said, the whole world is not as big as your Majesty. How can you not pay attention to what your Majesty has told you?"
"Is it?"
Sun An's face was full of suspicion and he was surprised.
We can always see Chu Wensheng in our family. This Mr. Chu, who was a military general, did not seem to take the emperor seriously.
When Chu Qing saw that Sun An was not too trusting, he quickly sighed: "My father-in-law, you don't know. The work of the Ministry of Etiquette is hurtful to your mouth, and you keep saying it day after day.
Forget about it, the Ministry of Punishment was hurting, running here and there every day, and the Ministry of Works, especially my father, the minister of the Ministry of Works, after taking this job, all that was left was the headache and the pain, so I just thought about how to do it.
Good job, and by the way, if you can see His Majesty, you must report it truthfully. It’s not that my father is slacking off, but he studies the drawings every day.”
Sun An didn't know whether he believed it or not. He said "Oh" slightly and asked: "Then I don't know how Master Chu wants to repair it and when it will be repaired?"
"Within three days, within three days, I will bring our most professional construction team from the Dachang Dynasty into the palace to help Your Majesty to completely renovate this shabby chicken...this somewhat dilapidated Wuzhao Palace."
Sun An's face was full of confusion: "Master Chu led people to repair it?"
"Well, that's about right. My father is in charge of the overall situation, and I'm in charge of taking charge."
"I see, that's fine." Sun An glanced at the sky, and then explained: "You will be arriving at the palace gate at Xu Shi. Mr. Chu, please don't waste time. Then our family will not disturb Mr. Chu."
"It's easy to talk about. By the way, about that, I know the rules, but I really didn't bring any money today. I will definitely make up for it next time."
"Rules?" Sun An was confused again: "What kind of compensation do you need?"
"Just give money to the eunuchs. I think everyone does this."
Chu Qing was afraid that Sun An wouldn't believe it, so he rolled his sleeves and said, "Really, I didn't bring it with me today. I will definitely make up for it next time."
Only then did Sun An react and laughed loudly: "Master Chu is really a wonderful man. No need, we don't do this here."
Chu Qing's face was full of "I understand" expression.
If you are not greedy for money, why would you be a eunuch in the palace? Is it just a hobby to get stabbed like that?
Sun An nodded slightly and left with a smile.
Chu Qing had nothing to watch anymore and walked towards the exit of the south gate of the palace with a sad face.
Not to mention how Chu Qing rubbed his teeth and greeted the emperor's family, Sun An went directly to the Jingyi Hall.
In the side hall, Emperor Chang Chengyou was approving the memorial. When he heard the footsteps, he raised his head and smiled slightly: "Chu Wensheng was impeached by the officials early in the morning, so he went into the palace to see the Wuzhao Palace. I guess he couldn't withstand the pressure.
Already."
Sun An smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, it's not Chu Wensheng, but his only son Chu Qing."
"Chu Qing?" Chang Chengyou frowned: "You also work in the Ministry of Industry?"
"The old slave didn't ask, but that's how it should be. What he said makes perfect sense."
The old eunuch did not dare to hide anything and repeated everything Chu Qing had just said. Not only that, he also did not make any subjective comments.
When the emperor heard this, he became angry.
"Chu Wensheng, you old man, do you think I am a three-year-old child? You obviously used my money to help the victims, but you dare to keep saying that your hair turned gray because of this, you bastard!"
With a "pop" sound, the emperor slapped his hand on the table, furious.
Sun An sighed silently.
He understood very well that the reason why the emperor was angry was not because of Chu Qing's deception, but because of Chu Wensheng's "attitude", which did not take the emperor seriously at all.
"Okay, then let him repair it. I want to see what Chu Wensheng, an official from the Ministry of Industry who was born as a general, can do. Go and lead people overnight to make the Taowu Palace more dilapidated.
