Chapter 354: Listening to the piano in the brothel
"So ......" Chen Sanniang nodded suddenly, then looked at Zhao Fengyao and asked, "Does the prince have any orders?"
"There are two things, one is to understand the situation in Beijing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Sanniang, can you talk to me? Besides, there are officials who have taken refuge in the streamer. and what she was going to do in Kyohaka before. Zhao Fengyao looked at Chen Sanniang, and when it came to Zhuo Yijia, his voice became unconsciously gentle.
Zhao Fengyao has been away from the capital for many years, and the situation in the palace will definitely change, and he needs to understand this. Moreover, when Zhuo Yijia was in the capital, he should have set up a lot of bureaus, and the secret passage that had been dug was still under the Zhuo family. If it weren't for his sudden, serious injury, it wouldn't have disrupted her plans.
Now she is not in the capital, but she has to use the good bureau.
Hearing Zhao Fengyao's words, Chen Sanniang thought for a while, and turned her head to look at Zhao Fengyao: "Does the prince want to listen to the palace or the court?"
"Listen to them all. ”
"Let's talk about the palace first. Chen Sanniang sat with her hands between her legs, and said slowly: "In the palace, there are still Emperor Sun Guifei Niangniang and Lan Guifei Niangniang. The two mothers are in constant favor, and the strange thing is that neither of them has ever been pregnant. ”
After a pause, he looked at Zhao Fengyao. It's not that he hasn't given birth to a prince, but he hasn't been pregnant at all.
Zhao Fengyao listened, did not interject, and waited for Chen Sanniang to continue.
Chen Sanniang looked at Zhao Fengyao, and seeing that he didn't mean to interject, she continued: "There is a triennial election in the palace, and now the harem is said to be full of three palaces and six courtyards, but the strange thing is that except for Emperor Sun and Concubine Lan, only one person is above the concubine position. In addition, there are so many women, all of them are under the concubine position, and there is not even a concubine. ”
"Who is that woman?" Zhao Fengyao asked, listening, staring at the table in front of him.
Chen Sanniang replied: "That woman's name is Chen Qingli, and her father is Chen Ran, who is the secretary of the ministry, and she is the previous one, that is, the group of show girls who entered the palace four years ago, and she was only there at the beginning. ”
"Four years have you always mentioned the concubine position?" Zhao Fengyao listened, turned his head to look at the bead curtain on the side, four years, and the grade was upgraded by three levels.
He thought and shook his head. Emperor Ming Xian is not a person who is greedy for beauty, this is not normal.
"Will you just say, her father, is it the order of the Ministry of Officials?" Zhao Fengyao raised his head and looked at Chen Sanniang.
Chen Sanniang nodded: "Yes." It's just a five-grade book-making order. ”
Zhao Fengyao turned his head, looked at the slightly swaying bead curtain on the side, and began to ponder in his heart.
The Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Officials is Xiao Tong, this person is not bad, upright, but he is not attached to the party.
Now Emperor Ming Xian has snubbed him more and more. The position of the secretary is shaky. However, it is almost impossible for Chen Ran to directly mention the matter of Shangshu.
"Back then, but now, his daughter has become the palace concubine of Emperor Sun Zhuo, the second in the harem, is it still a book-making order?" Zhao Fengyao asked.
Chen Sanniang frowned when she heard this, and replied: "Yes, it is still the order of the Ministry of Officials to make books. ”
Hearing what Sanniang said, Zhao Fengyao understood: "Then it seems that this is not the struggle of the imperial court." Why can she be promoted, it must be the reason for her. ”
"But she is a little woman, and her family is only a fourth-grade official. Emperor Ming Xian favored her alone, could it be that she really fell in love with this beauty and fell in love with this Chen Qingli?" Chen Sanniang said hesitantly. She also knows in her heart that Emperor Ming Xian is really not a greedy woman.
"It seems that the water in the harem is deeper than we thought. Zhao Fengyao said, looking at Chen Sanniang: "Let's put this aside for a while, let's talk about the court first." ”
Chen Sanniang nodded: "Okay, then I'll talk about the situation in the imperial court first." ”
Zhao Fengyao nodded in response.
"After the reform of the six-ministry system in the three provinces, the cabinet was set up in the province of Zhongshu and the province, and now the cabinet is still the largest in the DPRK and China. Shangshu Province was banned, and the six ministries were directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor. It stands to reason that the six ministries should be in the same position as the cabinet. But that's not the case. In addition to the direct advice of the previous dynasty, the six excerpts of the advice to reach the holy hearing, all of them have to go through the cabinet. Chen Sanniang paused as she spoke, and slowed down her voice:
"Therefore, the current situation between the DPRK and China is dominated by the cabinet. Six are second. ”
Zhao Fengyao knew all this, just nodded, and continued:
"The prime minister of the cabinet is still Sun Xiang, Jiang Xiang, and Wen Xiang. Zhao Fengyao said, slowly lowered his head, picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip.
"Hmm. Sanniang looked at Zhao Fengyao and responded: "In the past, when the master was in the capital, what she meant was that the six ministries and the cabinet started at the same time. The six ministries took co-optation as the best policy, and the cabinet directly abandoned it and supported it as the best policy. ”
Zhao Fengyao heard Zhuo Yijia's opinion, his face couldn't help but be gentle, and said: "The officials of the six ministries are involved in a wide range of areas, and it is indeed not easy to change them one by one. Cabinet, it is better to remove it directly. ”
After a pause, his Jia'er was really smart, and turned his head to look at Chen Sanniang: "How is she going to get rid of it?"
The sound of the piano next to it is melodious, there are guests coming and going outside the house from time to time, and between the rooms of the brothel, the soundproofing is always good. Among the pedestrians, those with sharp ears can only hear the faint sound of the piano in the balcony house.
The sound of speech in the room was directly covered by the sound of the piano.
Chen Sanniang's voice sounded in the room: "The master's meaning is to eat away at Sun Xiang a little bit, directly abolish him, and then use the court connections in the cabinet to promote Wen Xiang." ”
"Wen Xiang?" Zhao Fengyao raised her eyebrows and looked at Chen Sanniang: "Did she take a fancy to Wen Xiao?" ”
Chen Sanniang nodded.
"What about Jiang Wendong, what does she mean?" Zhao Fengyao looked at Sanniang and asked again.
"Jiang Wendong is cowardly, greedy for life and afraid of death, and he is a wall-to-wall grass. ”
"Yes, I can see it in Wu Cheng's matter. Zhao Fengyao nodded.
"So what does the master mean..."Chen Sanniang's voice was soft, and the speed of speech was quite slow: "Regardless of Jiang Wendong." Let him watch the play, and don't let him see the clues. After all, there are three people in the cabinet, and two people move at a time, which is really too big and involves too much. ”
Zhao Fengyao nodded, turned his head and looked at the bead curtain on the side, and his voice was soft: "Your master is really smart." ”
"Yes. Chen Sanniang replied naturally, said, stopped again, and glanced up at Zhao Fengyao.
"Then do what she wants, I want to know, who have you already coaxed in the court?" Zhao Fengyao turned his head to look at Sanniang, and then stopped: "I'm sure I won't defect." ”
Chen Sanniang's face became serious, and after thinking about it, she said: "Uncle Zheng Tian, the secretary of Dali Temple, and Xiao Tong, the secretary of the ministry. ”
"Xiao Tong has also been wooed?" Zhao Fengyao was slightly surprised. What Zhuo Yijia said at the time was only Uncle Zheng Tian of Dali Temple.
Chen Sanniang nodded, as if she saw Zhao Fengyao's doubts, and explained: "Although the master originally left the capital, we subordinates in the capital dare not slack off. According to her arrangement, together with Master Zheng, I have already agreed with Xiao Shangshu. ”
