When Zhang Xiao resigned, Jiang Zhe still had more to say and said with a smile: "Zhao Neng, it seems that your becoming the eunuch is not just a matter of luck. You are really good at serving others."
Zhao Neng rubbed his waist and smiled and replied: "Your Majesty is happy with the meal, because this servant's filial piety has arrived. I dare to boast that being a slave also has the secret of being a slave. You must be able to figure it out!"
Jiang Zhe laughed and said: "I really let you figure it out this time. But I didn't tell you wrong. Is Baili Hongyu here?"
Zhao Neng was confused by Jiang Zhe's twists and turns. He thought about it carefully and hurriedly replied: "I'm here early. I'm waiting outside the hall."
"Call in."
Baili Hongyu has been uneasy since she returned from bathing in the morning. She doesn't know what the emperor is thinking. To be honest, she also has selfish motives in her heart. In such a huge palace, there are countless beauties in pink and white. In the changing spring flowers and snowy moon,
How many beauties in pink have turned into charming and innocent ghosts who will never rest in peace.
She finally got the opportunity to get close to the emperor. It would be a pity if she failed and angered the emperor. Now that the emperor summoned her again, she felt as if she had knocked over the five-flavor bottle. She didn't know what it felt like.
Jiang Zhe looked at Baili Hongyu who was kneeling below him. He saw that she was wearing a long jade-white silk skirt. She did not wear any complicated gold or jade ornaments on her head. She just had a hair stick inserted diagonally into her hair.
Jade Moth's appearance is different from the one she gave people when she was taking a bath in the morning. She looks like the girl next door, which makes people feel very friendly.
Seeing that the emperor didn't speak and only stared at herself, Baili Hongyu couldn't help but blush again. Only then did Jiang Zhe realize that he had lost his composure. He smiled lightly and called, "Zhao Neng."
Zhao Neng didn't expect that the emperor was calling him, so he hurriedly replied: "My servant is here."
"Remember, as I said, eunuchs are all despicable people, villains. So from today on, I will set a rule for you. Eunuchs who speak out about politics or interfere with politics will be killed without mercy! Regardless of the memorial I have read,
It doesn't matter whether it's important or not, anyone who dares to read or spread privately will be killed without mercy.
I just said that you don’t have the ability to be a eunuch, so from now on, you are no longer an eunuch, and there will no longer be this position in the future. But you can serve people, and you can also be your chief eunuch, but only
Responsible for my daily life. Oh, you should be in charge of this, not the bedroom. Listen, you?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhao Neng said hurriedly, "The eunuchs are all bastards, and I am also a bastard. When I turn around, I will convey the emperor's decree to the whole palace."
Jiang Zhe nodded and said: "There is another position in the palace called Hong Dexuan Confidential Secretary. Well, it is the sixth rank. The salary comes from the internal funds. Baili Hongyu is responsible for the memorial documents in this palace.
.From now on, in this palace, except for Baili Hongyu, you can’t touch a single piece of paper unless you obey the order.”
"Yes, yes!" Zhao Neng replied hurriedly, then pushed Baili Hongyu and said, "Why don't you thank me quickly?"
Only then did Baili Hongyu react and kowtow hurriedly: "I thank the Emperor for his grace."
Jiang Zhe waved his hand and said, "That's all. You don't have to kneel to serve in this palace from now on, and you don't have to call yourself a slave anymore. You are already a person with a position. It's inappropriate to call yourself that."
"Yes, slave... I hereby obey the emperor's decree." Baili Hongyu was still a little uncomfortable with the change in status.
"Get up." Jiang Zhe waved his hand and said, "Have someone raise the bed and place it behind this curtain. Baili Hongyu will live here from now on. It is also close to my bedroom. It will be convenient for me to call you if you need anything."
"Yes." Zhao Neng agreed hurriedly.
Because Jiang Zhe was not idle at night, Baili Hongyu, the new secretary, had no time to spare and started working immediately.
In fact, Jiang Zhe couldn't explain why he let Baili Hongyu take on such an important position after just seeing her. It may be the same intuition as Zhang Xiao. And Jiang Zhe, as a man with normal aesthetics, Bailihong
Jade is also a very suitable candidate to be around.
Baili Hongyu is not only beautiful, she also has a temperament that most beauties in the palace do not have. Needless to say, her fair and tender skin and exquisite facial features, the key is the faint light condensed between her slightly frowning brows.
The desolation made her immediately have a special charm. Jiang Zhe even unconsciously thought of the weak Xi Shi Huansha and the plaintive Zhaojun leaving the fortress. In fact, there is no shortage of beauties in the palace, but it is difficult to find charming beauties.
Found it.
Baili Hongyu was also secretly observing Jiang Zhe. Although he had not been in the palace for a long time, he had heard many stories about the previous emperors from the old palace maids.
Although the previous Emperor Mu Zong had been in power for twenty-five years, he had almost no involvement in political affairs. He spent his days fighting dogs and watching flowers, and in the evenings he played music night after night. The Emperor Wuzong who followed him had a group of guards every day.
They practiced martial arts together and stayed up all night drinking at night. There had never been an emperor who was always working at his desk like Jiang Zhe.
Walking gently to Jiang Zhe, Baili Hongyu said softly: "Your Majesty, the night is already deep, it's time to go to bed."
As soon as she finished speaking, before Jiang Zhe could reply, Baili Hongyu saw He Zhen waving his hands desperately below. She couldn't help but feel strange, and looked at He Zhen with questioning eyes.
Jiang Zhe followed Baili Hongyu's gaze and saw He Zhen winking at him, then he smiled and cursed: "He Zhen, what are you doing there? Baili Hongyu just came to Hongdexuan today to serve, so of course she didn't
You know when I will rest. Out of concern, it is also a good intention to remind me. I am not a tyrant like Jie and Zhou, so can I still blame her?"
He Zhen said with a flattering smile: "The Emperor is studying hard. I am afraid that she will affect the Emperor's thinking, so..."
"Okay, no need to explain, I don't blame you." Jiang Zhe interrupted He Zhen's confession, then smiled at Baili Hongyu and said: "You are new here, I don't know, they all know. I
You are a night owl and don't sleep before midnight. As my confidential secretary, you must be with me, are you afraid of being tired?"
"My concubine is naturally not afraid of getting tired." Baili Hongyu replied generously, "But the emperor carries the hopes of hundreds of millions of people in our Tang Dynasty, so it is better to take care of the dragon body."
Jiang Zhe smiled softly and said: "In this life, there is only so much time to live. Wouldn't it be a pity if you spend all of it sleeping? Besides, staying up late may not shorten your life."
When had Baili Hongyu ever heard of this theory? She rolled her eyes several times, but she still hadn't finished thinking about it. Jiang Zhe had already said, "Okay, don't show off to me about your big eyes here.
Go and get me a cup of tea."
To Jiang Zhe, these words were just an ordinary joke between male and female friends, but to Baili Hongyu, they sounded full of provocation. But what woman doesn't want to be teased by the emperor? She blushed and ran away.
.
After Baili Hongyu brought the tea, Jiang Zhe raised his eyes and looked at the hourglass and said to He Zhen: "It's getting late. I don't need so many people here to serve you. You all should step aside. Baili Hong
Just keep the jade here."
He Zhen was also an old man left behind by Mu Zongchao. He had seen a similar scene more than once. He immediately agreed and retreated with a group of palace maids and eunuchs. Only Jiang Zhe and Baili Hongyu were left in the room.
Baili Hongyu felt that all the blood in her body rushed to her head. The blood vessels on her temples were beating suddenly. She even felt that she could hear her own heartbeat. The old maids had told her too many stories about the emperor's visit.
The affairs of the palace maids are all similar to this, leaving others alone and leaving the emperor alone with a palace maid.
Although as one of the unfortunate palace maids, Baili Hongyu had imagined more than once that one day she would be lucky enough to be visited by the emperor, but when she and the emperor were really the only ones left in the room, she still couldn't help it.
Feeling nervous, still nervous.
Jiang Zhe looked at Baili Hongyu's flushed face and asked in surprise: "What's wrong with you? Do you have a fever?"
"Ah?" Baili Hongyu woke up from her random thoughts and said hurriedly: "No, it's because the candlelight is too scorching."
"The candlelight is too scorching?" Jiang Zhe looked back at the candle, his expression of surprise deepened, and he smiled self-consciously and said, "Okay, it's not just a fever, so let's not talk about this. Let's talk about you!
"
"What can I say, my concubine?" Baili Hongyu asked with a frown, a few fine wrinkles appearing on her delicate nose.
"Do you know why I appointed you as the confidential secretary of Hong Dexuan?" Jiang Zhe asked, staring into Baili Hongyu's eyes.
"I don't know, I don't know." Baili Hongyu replied softly.
Jiang Zhe shook his head and said, "You are a smart girl, you should be able to think clearly."
Baili Hongyu tilted her head and said, "The emperor doesn't want Mr. Zhao and Mr. He to see the things on this table?"
Jiang Zhe nodded and said: "Exactly. There are too many smart people in the court. They can easily infer my next move from what I see and write, so I have to be on guard. But I
It’s impossible to keep others away from this table, so I have to use someone I can trust to take care of these things for me.”
"Could it be that Mr. Zhao and Mr. He are unreliable?" Baili Hongyu was really surprised.
Jiang Zhe sighed and said: "I don't know whether they are reliable or not. But I know that they all have other masters outside the palace." On the night of his ascension to the throne, Zhao Neng went to Li Gang, and He Zhen went to Zhang Jinzhong.
This fully proved Jiang Zhe's guess.
"I didn't expect the emperor to be so pitiful..." Baili Hongyu couldn't help but said it, but then she came to her senses and hurriedly knelt down to apologize.
Jiang Zhe stretched out his hand to support Baili Hongyu and said: "Get up, I will not sin with words. I just want to know if you are someone I can trust?"
The Baili Hongyu catkin was held in Jiang Zhe's hand, but at this time she did not show any shyness or nervousness, but said firmly: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will never let down Your Majesty's trust."
Jiang Zhe breathed a sigh of relief. He finally had two people of his own in this strange time and space. It can be regarded as a long march of thousands of miles, and finally officially took the first step. Although neither the secretary nor the bodyguard can influence the court situation.
People, but at least the environment around me can feel more at ease.
