Chapter 261, the same task

That Xiao Xuzi was escorted away by the people in front of the emperor the next day, and later came to find out that Xiao Xuzi had a lot of properties under his name, which made people smack. In the Changping area, Xiao Xuzi bought thousands of hectares of fertile land, and in Sijiu City, there are three pawnshops, two silk Zhuangzi and a mansion with four entrances and four exits.

But it's really a big rat with a round belly. The emperor was really angry and directly called for hanging, but because of the damage to the royal face, he didn't scream out. In addition, several eunuchs who guarded and stole themselves in the antique room were also found, but the number of calligraphy and painting antiques stolen naturally could not be compared with Xiao Xuzi, the number one giant rat, who was also given to death by the emperor.

And the eunuch Guo who was in charge, although he was not greedy for ink, but there were so many mistakes, he naturally couldn't keep it, he was dismissed, and he was sent to Tailing to guard the tomb.

Tailing, that is, the imperial tomb of Emperor Yongzheng, is generally called Xiling. After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the emperor and the queen were buried in the Qing Dongling, but Yongzheng chose another emperor's tomb, because the Tailing is located in the west of the capital under the Yongning Mountain, so relative to the Qing Dongling, here is also called the West Tomb.

So far, in addition to the burial of Emperor Yongzheng in Tailing, there is only one Dunsu Emperor's concubine Nian. - It is conceivable how much the queen mother should have responded, when the first emperor was alive, he favored Nian in various ways, and even waited until Nian died of illness before dealing with her brother Nian Qianyao. After Nian's death, he also entered the emperor's tomb, and when the queen mother died in the future, she also had to enter the emperor's tomb.

The imperial concubine is buried in the emperor's mausoleum, which is also a rule that only exists in the Yongzheng Dynasty. Prior to this, only the empress was eligible to be buried in the imperial mausoleum with the emperor, regardless of the rank of the concubine. can only be buried in the tomb of the concubine.

However, the first person to be buried in the imperial mausoleum was not Emperor Nian's concubine, but Prince Yi's mother Yinxiang, and Zhang Jia's concubine of Emperor Jingmin. I don't know if Yongzheng deliberately set a precedent first. It is exempt from calling the imperial concubine to be the first person to bury the concubines of the emperor's mausoleum, which will provoke criticism.

Anyway, people have been dead for so many years, and no one can confirm it.

Knowing that Eunuch Guo was going to be escorted to Tailing, he specially instructed Xiao Wenzi to bring a hundred taels of silver to send off this unlucky Eunuch Guo, and there were also some secret words, so I needed to tell Eunuch Guo. Xiao Wenzi hissed and waited when he entered the palace. can be regarded as a loyal little eunuch, Xu Jinlu is the chief eunuch, after all, it is too eye-catching. made a little Wenzi (Lin Hai) who had been waiting for a long time and the emperor secretly checked in front of her, so Xiao Ming could only ask Xiao Wenzi to go.

Eunuch Guo was a high-ranking chief eunuch before, and he also had some savings, but he guarded the emperor's antiques. And one of the eunuchs who guarded the self-theft was his apprentice. Naturally, his property was not washed away, so Eunuch Guo went on the road empty-handed.

Seeing Concubine Shu's eunuch Wen Rui, Eunuch Guo was still a little surprised, "Gonggong Wen, you are ......" - Eunuch Guo doesn't have a top now, just like Xiao Wenzi, they are all tasteless eunuchs, no...... He's not as good as Xiao Wenzi. At least Xiao Wenzi is the eunuch with a face next to the favored mother, and he ...... Eunuch Guo smiled bitterly. Go to Taereung and slowly stay up until you die. Therefore, Eunuch Guo was very polite to Xiao Wenzi's words.

Xiao Wenzi smiled and said, "Concubine Shu ordered the slave to come and send Guo Gonggong." ”

Eunuch Guo looked flattered, and he hurriedly said, "This ...... The old slave can't afford it. ”

Xiao Wenzi said: "Concubine Shu said that this matter is also because of her, so you are a little unbearable." ”

It is true that it was because Concubine Shu took over the antique house that a series of problems were discovered, but where did Eunuch Guo dare to blame Concubine Shu, who was the most favored concubine of all? The status gap was too great, and Eunuch Guo did not dare to be angry even at the slightest sign of resentment. He can only complain about Xiao Xuzi's greed, and his apprentice Xiao Luzi dares to do this kind of thing behind his back! When Xiao Xuzi's theft happened, Eunuch Guo felt that his hat might be hanging, and when even the eunuchs in his antique room were guarding and stealing, Eunuch Guo felt that his neck was a little hanging.

In the end, he was punished with a pipe cap, beaten to a board, and sent to Tailing. But at least, he didn't lose his head! Eunuch Guo only felt fortunate that the calligraphy and paintings lost by the emperor, even if the properties of Xiao Xu Zi and a few eunuchs outside were confiscated, most of them would not be compensated, and the difference was a silver worth a hundred of his heads.

So Eunuch Guo, how dare you resent the masters above?

Eunuch Guo's old face was wrinkled, and his face was full of gloom, "Where can I blame Concubine Shu, in the final analysis, it was the slave's own mistake." Even if there is no Concubine Shu, the paper will not be able to contain the fire in the future, it is just a matter of time or time. Earlier, it's better than later! The later I lose, the more calligraphy and paintings I lose, and when it's time to fall, I'm afraid I won't be able to save my head!!"

Xiao Wenzi looked at it secretly, and it seemed that this Eunuch Guo really didn't have half of a grudge against his mother, so Xiao Wenzi was relieved, so he took out a bag of silver from the horse's hoof sleeve and stuffed it into Eunuch Guo's hand.

Eunuch Guo was stunned for a moment, he was a little surprised with the weight in his hand, "Gonggong Lin, this is ......"

Xiao Wenzi said in a low voice: "Concubine Shu is rewarded!"

Eunuch Guo was so moved that his eyes were full of tears, and it was easy to add icing on the cake, but it was difficult to send charcoal in the snow! Not to mention that he was in need of silver now! When he went to a bitter cold place like Tailing, where there was no oil and water, if he didn't have any silver in his pocket, he was afraid that he wouldn't even have a hot meal to eat!

Xiao Wenzi smiled and said: "You just have to guard, our mother also thinks you are really pitiful." This bit of silver, it's not much, but it's also a little bit of our mother's heart. After a pause, Xiao Wenzi said casually: "By the way, the chief eunuch guarding Tailing is Su Peisheng, the chief eunuch of the first emperor's reign. If you want to have a comfortable time in Tailing, you have to talk to this Chief Su manager, don't you say?"

Eunuch Guo nodded "yes" again and again, holding the bag of silver in his hand, and his face was already smiling into flowers.

Xiao Wenzi lowered his voice again and said, "This hundred taels is just an appetizer, and you will have a share every year in the future." ”

When Guo Tai listened, he was immediately a little surprised, Concubine Shu Niangniang wants to reward him every year?

Xiao Wenzi said in a low voice: "You went to Tailing, just take care of the Shengba and the head of Su." Sometime...... We may be able to use you!"

Although Eunuch Guo was a little puzzled, he was a little nervous in his heart. Niangniang can use him, won't she have the opportunity to return to the palace to serve in the future? Eunuch Guo bit down and said, "The slave will definitely not disappoint Concubine Shu." "Anyway, it's not a bad thing to climb the big tree of Concubine Shu. What's more, Concubine Shu didn't let him do anything rebellious, didn't she just curry favor with Manager Su? He went to Tailing, of course, he had to talk to his boss.

Xiao Wenzi instructed Eunuch Guo to keep it secret again, and he was about to leave. At this moment, I saw that Wang Qin in front of the emperor also came.

Eunuch Guo was surprised, and Xiao Wenzi was also surprised.

Xiao Wenzi took a few steps to meet him: "Princess, why are you here?"

When I saw Xiao Wenzi forward, I was also a little surprised: "Aren't you Xiao Wenzi next to Concubine Shu's mother, why did you come here?"

Xiao Wenzi secretly thought that when she came, Niangniang had instructed that if she was seen, she didn't have to hide the matter of rewarding Eunuch Guo with some silver, so she smiled and said: "Our mother looked at Guo's father-in-law pitiful, and she couldn't bear it, so she asked the slave to bring a hundred taels of silver to reward him, and it should be pension silver." ”

Wang Qin nodded after hearing this, "Oh, I see. ”

Xiao Wenzi looked at Wang Qin: "Princess, what about you...... You're also here to send Grandpa Guo?"

Wang Qin nodded hurriedly, "Yes...... yes, I'm ...... is a fellow villager with Guo Shu, so I came to give him a ride. ”

Xiao Wenzi couldn't help but think, Guo Shu was actually a fellow villager with Wang Qin, the deputy chief eunuch in front of the emperor? Why hadn't he heard of this? Moreover, Wang Qin's behavior was a little strange, and those words sounded like they had been made up temporarily. However, Xiao Wenzi was not easy to get to the bottom of it, so he bowed down with a smile and left.

Eunuch Guo stepped forward and said, "Father-in-law, the old slave is a person from Linzi, you ...... It's Shangqiu, right?" -- If you are not in a province, how can you call yourself a "fellow villager"?

Wang Qin smiled and said: "You are from Linzi, Shandong, I am Shangqiu, Henan, and the two provinces are next to each other, so they are naturally fellow villagers!"

Seeing that Wang Qin could say it with a smile when he said such far-fetched words, Eunuch Guo secretly understood something, so he arched his hand and said, "Princess, do you have any orders?"

Hearing this, Wang Qin's face bloomed with a smile, "It's not a big deal, after you go to Tailing, don't think that it's a place to retire! You have always been able to deal with things, and it is indeed appropriate to have something to do for you." ”

Eunuch Guo hurriedly listened attentively: "You command!" -- this is the deputy head of the imperial front, the chief manager Wu Shulai is a handful of years, and on the day of the can't keep it, Wang Qin will become the chief manager of the imperial front, and Eunuch Guo naturally does not dare to offend half of it.

Wang Qin said in a low voice: "It's a small thing, but you have to have a snack." After going to Tailing, get close to Su Peisheng. ”

Eunuch Guo was stunned, how could he be the former eunuch in charge of the imperial palace?

Wang Qin took out a few silver tickets from his sleeve and said: "If you want to tie up with someone, you can't do it without silver in your hand! This is three hundred taels, and I will ask someone to bring it to you every year in the future!"

Eunuch Guo nodded in confusion, he had already collected four hundred taels of silver in this moment's effort! The amount was more than the savings he had confiscated before!

Moreover, Concubine Shu Niangniang, and Wang Qin in front of the emperor, all asked him to get close to Su Peisheng. Why is this? Su Peisheng, an outdated, powerless and powerless old eunuch, deserves such attention? He only knows that Su Peisheng is a confidant of the first emperor, but the first emperor has died! Could it be that Su Peisheng has some big secret?

Eunuch Guo set out on the road to Tailing with suspicion and the same task ordered by the two parties. (To be continued.) )
