In the Office of the Supervisor of Ceremonies inside the east gate of Huang Wa, Liu Jin didn't even look at the list that Wei San presented. He stared at Wei San motionlessly for a long time, and then suddenly let out a dry laugh.k Started by
renew
"Wei San, you've been running around a lot lately, and you've always been diligent and down-to-earth. Although you're not our godson or grandson, you're quick and fawning, and you're better than those little bastards. This time
You handled things vigorously and resolutely, which is great. However, there is one thing we have to remind you."
Wei San stood there with his head bowed. After hearing this, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "Young man, please listen to your father-in-law's teachings."
"Teaching is out of the question. Our family, Ma Yongcheng, Wei Bin and Luo Xiang are all from the East Palace. This bond is extraordinary. They were indeed all at Luo Qing's place today, and you caught them all, but you did it in front of everyone
Who gave you the courage to say such harsh words and allow your subordinates to fight with them?" Liu Jin raised her voice for a moment, and her tone was stern, "You are just a little Feng Yu, but you dare to fight with three people?
When a eunuch talks like this, do you know what the crime is?"
"Young one, damn it." Wei San immediately understood that either one of his men was informing him, or Liu Jin had one of his subordinates among them. He quickly thought about it, kowtowed, and then said, "I didn't dare to do that."
I'm disrespectful to those three father-in-laws. It's just that they are obsessed with protecting monsters like Luo Qing. In addition, they criticize the father-in-law too much. The younger one couldn't help but rob them of two sentences. He didn't mean to do anything wrong.
As for the pushing and shoving between the subordinates and them, they also deliberately prevented us from taking Luo Qing away, and..."
Wei San licked his lips lightly, then raised his head and said: "Father, there is one thing that I haven't told you yet. Among the worshipers of Luo Qingshou, there is a lotus platform given by the three of them! This lotus platform
The whole body is carved from white jade seed material and is worth a lot of money. They can actually give such a good thing to Luo Qing. It shows that these four words of colluding with demons will never wrong them! Father-in-law, I am dedicated to this.
Even if you really offend Eunuch Ma, Eunuch Wei, Eunuch Luo, you will never regret it!"
This nakedly loyal attitude made Liu Jin quite satisfied. The stern reprimand he just said to Wei San was just to express his attitude as a superior, and to prevent Wei San from having undue ambitions.
Now that he had achieved more ideal results at this moment, he just gave up and said with a smile: "It goes without saying if it offends you or not, you work for our family. Our family will naturally protect you.
Come on, get ready and follow our family to see the emperor."
Let’s go to see the saint together!
Although he has been in the palace for many years and has been promoted to the high position of the fifth-rank imperial minister, Wei San has never had the opportunity to meet the saint alone. Now that Liu Jin lightly opened his mouth and promised him such an opportunity, he felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart and hurriedly kowtowed.
He kept thanking him. When he stood up and saw that Liu Jin had the list in his sleeve, he immediately sent someone to find out who Zhu Houzhao was. But he was in the palace. He just felt anxious in his heart. He also thought about how to be attentive to the emperor when he saw him.
He was fawning, and worried that Liu Jin would be displeased when he saw him being too enthusiastic, so he was very uneasy. He didn't know how long he stood there before a servant came in quickly with his head lowered.
"Eunuch, the emperor has taken Eunuch Rui back to the palace, and now he is going to Kunning Palace."
If this kind of words appeared to other emperors, I am afraid that Liu Jin, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony and the eunuch, would suddenly change his expression. But for Zhu Houzhao, not to mention that he was one of the culprits who took people out for fun. If it were not for the
He was in a high position and had no time to follow the emperor all the time. He was determined to follow the emperor on his travels. After all, the emperor's favor was the source of his current power. If possible, he would really not be willing to treat Ruisheng like this.
It was obvious that Xu Xun's people stayed with the emperor, but Ruisheng was very obedient. The empress dowagers of both palaces were very satisfied with him, not to mention the current queen. And according to his cold observation, Ruisheng at least never boasted in front of the emperor.
He reluctantly tolerated Liu Jin's bad ear wind...
So, after frowning, Liu Jin winked at Wei San and motioned for him to follow him. When he walked out of the ceremonial prison as if strolling in the courtyard, there were already four strong young men carrying stools.
When they came up, another chamberlain carefully helped Liu Jin up. Then, after they were seated firmly, they covered Liu Jin with a gold woven blanket.
Seeing Liu Jin sitting comfortably on the stool and entering the palace from Xuanwu Gate, Wei San couldn't even mention Yin Xian in his heart. However, even though stools were the exclusive property of eunuchs, walking in the imperial city was still easy.
, the only person who can travel in the palace city is Liu Jin. Unless he has the power of Liu Jin one day, he can't even think about it.
Just walking slowly all the way, when they arrived at Kunning Gate, the young eunuch reported again that the young emperor was still in Kunning Palace. Liu Jin just breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that we didn't make a mistake at last."
Come on, the Emperor used to stay in the Leopard Room of Xiyuan every day, and now that he has been conferred the title of Empress, he has finally been in the palace for a longer time, and the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager can finally feel at ease."
Liu Jin dared to talk about this topic, but no one, including Wei San, dared to talk about it. When they arrived in front of Kunning Palace, someone had already informed them to go in. Liu Ren, the steward of Kunning Palace, personally greeted him.
He called Eunuch Liu with a smile. Although Liu Jin and Liu Ren have the same surname, and the characters Jin and Ren sound similar to each other, they did not have much friendship in the past. Liu Jin did not even know that Liu Jin had been silent in the imperial prison for more than ten years.
How did Ren get transferred to Kunning Palace as a steward? Moreover, he was deeply trusted by the Queen, so he did not dare to underestimate anyone at all.
After the two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, Liu Jin winked at Wei San and told him to stay outside and wait, and then followed Liu Ren inside. However, Liu Ren did not take Liu Jin into the main hall of Kunning Palace or into the palace.
Nuan Ge, instead led him directly into the entertainment room in the north corridor. As soon as he entered, Liu Jin heard the voice of the little emperor talking to someone inside.
"You haven't seen Xu Xun's precious daughter. She is so fat and funny. I pinched her face and she pouted and wanted to cry. But I made a face at her and she immediately started to giggle. Come tomorrow.
If I had a daughter, I wouldn’t need to envy his baby bump, I would just play with her every day!”
"Your Majesty, do you think this child was born just to play with you?" This was clearly the Queen's voice with a hint of anger.
"Ahem. That's not what I meant... I meant that this Kunning Palace is very deserted. Having a child can relieve the loneliness... Ah, that's not what I meant. Of course I will come to accompany you often..."
Faced with this extremely weird conversation, Liu Jin felt like he was sweating profusely. He glanced at Liu Ren and saw his helpless expression. He thought he had heard it so many times in Kunning Palace.
He actually sympathized with this old eunuch who was regarded as having bad luck by others. When he announced his name outside the door, before he finished speaking, he saw the door curtain in front of him raised high, and he saw that it was the queen herself.
He immediately knelt down in a hurry and said: "How dare you labor the Queen..."
"Okay, there are only me and the queen inside. If the queen doesn't make the curtain for you, then I have to make the curtain for you. It requires labor no matter what. Hurry up and come in and talk!"
Seeing that Zhu Houzhao was obviously in a good mood, Liu Jin stood up immediately with a decent smile on his face. When he entered the room, he saw a piece of rice paper spread out on the table over there, and vaguely glimpsed an unfinished painting on it.
Painting. Thinking that although Zhu Houzhao had been studying since he was a child, he had never been interested in these elegant matters of calligraphy and painting, but now he became very interested. He couldn't help but glance at the queen, and then said with a smile: "The emperor is hiding here.
What are the good paintings in the entertainment studio?”….
"Oh, you have sharp eyes!" Zhu Houzhao said immediately with a smile, "Then go and see which ones were painted by me and which ones were painted by the queen?"
Liu Jin didn't expect that Zhu Houzhao actually sent such a task. She couldn't help but stayed for a while, but she still walked to the front of the table. She saw a plum tree painted on the huge drawing paper, with sparse dots on it.
A few red plums, at first glance, look like red flowers on an old tree, they are really spirited. Just like Zhu Houzhao. He has never been involved in these elegant things. He looked left and right for a long time, until he vaguely felt that the shape of the red plums was a bit strange.
Seeing Zhu Houzhao still holding his hands behind his back again, he finally said with a sudden change of heart: "Come to see it, this plum tree was painted by the queen, and the plum blossoms were painted by the emperor!"
"Haha, you have good eyesight!" Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows proudly, "These red plum blossoms were painted by me!"
"The Emperor also said that instead of painting it, it's better to say that you didn't like the trouble of painting it, so you dipped five fingers in the color and poked it in!" Zhou Qiniang was angry and funny, but she added, "This
I haven’t even washed my hands yet, so I hid them behind my back and even Eunuch Liu saw me!"
"No wonder, Liu Jin, you are cunning!" Zhu Houzhao snorted in annoyance. Seeing that Zhou Qiniang immediately called the palace people outside to come in, and washed his hands, he wiped the water drops on his hands and looked at Liu Jin.
He asked, "By the way, why did you come to Kunning Palace specifically? We have already talked about the government affairs. After the cabinet decision, you can still approve it."
"It's something that just came up next." Liu Jin bowed and saw Zhu Houzhao directly greeted Zhou Qiniang, and the two sat down side by side on the soft couch by the window, so he said lightly, "Today,
Wei San from Dongchang led his followers to arrest a group of demons who were swindling in the capital, and many of their followers were also imprisoned. He also said that Ma Yongcheng, Wei Bin and Luo Xiang were also dating people.
Closely, all three of them were present at the time. Although I had a good relationship with them back in the East Palace, I had no choice but to report such a big thing to the Emperor."
As soon as he said these words, he saw Zhu Houzhao's face darken. Since ancient times, kings of every generation have cared most about these four words, and even Zhu Houzhao was no exception. He watched Zhu Houzhao become silent.
After a while, he finally uttered a concise sentence.
"Where is the person who went to investigate today? Bring him here. I will ask him personally!"
"Just wait outside. Since the Emperor wants to see you, I will send someone to tell you."
When Wei San was led into the Entertainment Room by Liu Ren, he didn't dare to raise his head to look at the Emperor and the Empress who were sitting side by side on the soft couch. He knelt down and kowtowed before kneeling there with his head down. However, he
After waiting for quite a while, I heard a voice that could not be distinguished from joy or anger.
"Tell me the truth about who you went to arrest today and how you bumped into Ma Yongcheng, Wei Bin and Luoxiang!"
"Yes, this is what happened..."
Zhou Qiniang originally planned to avoid it, but Zhu Houzhao held her hand tightly and forced her to sit there. She had to listen nearby. No one else, including Liu Jin, noticed the change in Zhu Houzhao's mood, but she just
Being beside the young emperor, and with her hand being held by Zhu Houzhao all the time, she was keenly aware of the change in Zhu Houzhao's mood. Especially when Wei San talked about how Ma Yongcheng and the other three were messing around and bullying others. She suddenly noticed the look in Zhu Houzhao's eyes.
A sharp cold light appeared. In this case, she thought about it again and again, and finally remained silent.
Those big guys are all old people from the East Palace, so she'd better not get involved.
After Wei Sanyang finished speaking, Zhu Houzhao said calmly: "Have you finished talking?" Seeing Wei San's respectful response, the little emperor suddenly slapped the armrest with a loud bang, and then stood up.
, "Okay, you are so bold!"….
Wei San was overjoyed, and immediately nodded and said: "Your Majesty is right, they are deeply trusted by your Majesty. They actually colluded with monsters, allowed these guys to confuse the public with their monstrous words, and even gave such things to people. It is really audacious."
…”
"I'm talking about your audacity!"
This sudden turn of events caused the entire Youyi Zhai to fall into a dead silence. Except for Rui Sheng, who had been prepared for a long time, and Zhou Qiniang, who was vaguely aware of the clues, Liu Jin, Wei San, and even Liu Ren,
Several people were all in a state of inexplicable consternation. After the little emperor cursed angrily, he immediately said in a stern voice: "If I hadn't personally gone to the area to check the people from all over and knew how wantonly the people in Dongchang were at that time,
How you enrich your own pockets, how you insult women, bully good people, and how you almost get away with it!"
The more he spoke, the angrier he became. He looked around and couldn't find anything that could be used to hit someone, so he went over angrily and kicked him down. Then he pointed at the shocked Wei San and said, "Come here, tie up this bitch and send him away."
Go to the inner factory and ask someone to take over the case immediately, and ask Gu Dayong to assist and find out what is going on! It is clearly the fault of this bitch. The three of them made Ma Yongcheng extremely embarrassed, and even uttered arrogant words.
, now you dare to bite back, it’s really a big change!”
Liu Jin watched helplessly as Wei Sanshang was gagged and pushed away before he could even open his mouth to defend himself. Even an old man like him had no time to react to such dramatic changes. What made him even more shocked and angry was,
Zhu Houzhao, who was still angry, sat down and glared at him angrily.
"Liu Jin, and you, in the future, you should listen to what others say about such things, or go and see for yourself. Otherwise, listening to the words of such a person with ulterior motives will not only wrong a good person, but may also kill some of you."
A friendship that has lasted for many years! Today’s incident is a lesson, you have to remember it well. Okay, I’m tired, you stand down!”
Seeing that Zhu Houzhao didn't even give him a chance to defend himself, Liu Jin felt that his mind went blank. How did he quit the entertainment studio?
The person who had followed him here was gone, and he suddenly came to his senses. For a moment, he squeezed the handrail next to him so hard that he almost broke his silver teeth.
Today's game was lost inexplicably. He didn't even know why Zhu Houzhao was so angry. He couldn't just let it go!
"Come here!" Liu Jin shouted in a deep voice, and immediately a middle-aged eunuch hurried forward from behind. He gestured for the person to come closer, and then gritted his teeth in the person's ear and ordered, "Go and check.
Where did the emperor go today and who did he meet? Come and report back quickly!"
In the entertainment studio, after Liu Jin exited, Zhu Houzhao screened away the others, but said to Zhou Qiniang with a sad expression: "Sister Qi, why do you think people change? These people who followed me in the East Palace were all so considerate.
However, even if my father sometimes blames them, they all share the same difficulties. Now that they are blessed, why can't they share the same?"
Faced with such a question, Zhou Qiniang couldn't help but remain silent for a long time, and finally said ambiguously: "Perhaps, some people have too much heart." However, the second part of her words, "That's why I can't tolerate others," was swallowed back by her.
inside.
When Liu Jin learned that Xu Xun had invited Zhang Yong and Gu Da to have a drink with him today, Zhu Houzhao heard the news and went to Xu's house to have a meal. As a result, Ma Yongcheng, Wei Bin and Luo Xiang suffered a loss at Wei San's hands. They all ran to Xu's house and cried.
He immediately understood that the three of them must have bumped into the little emperor there and complained fiercely. Then Zhu Houzhao either personally went to where Luo Qing and others stayed, or sent someone to investigate - most likely the former possibility
Bigger--so Wei San's trick was revealed. Even if he deeply hated Wei San for being too domineering and left an excuse, it was not enough to conclude that it was Xu Xun who cooperated with Ma Yongcheng and the other three to set him up.
Not to mention anything else, Wei San's loyalty to him is self-evident. As for Wei San, who stared at Ma Yongcheng, Wei Bin, Luo Xiang and Luo Qing, as far as he knew, it was not a day or two. Therefore, even if
No matter how angry he was, he couldn't even think about doing anything to Xu Xun. No matter how hard it was to swallow, he could only swallow it forcefully!
"Ma Yongcheng, Wei Bin, Luo Xiang... our family is not done with you!"
After gritting his teeth and bursting out such a sentence, he suddenly shouted: "Come here, call Qian Ning for our family!" (To be continued) rq
