Chapter 56

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty's ......" Wang Quan, the chief manager, broke into the hall very anxiously, and in the back garden, the queen mother was furious, this is a major event in the palace, how can it be delayed in reporting to the saint in time?

Zhang Jibai and Xiao Jingming stayed behind to discuss the budget after the ministers faded, but they were interrupted by Wang Quan's unauthorized intrusion.

"What's the matter, panic!" Xiao Jingming asked.

According to the hour, the ministers have already dispersed the meeting, why did Zhang Jibai stay alone today to discuss important matters, Wang Quan was also unexpected. Thinking of this, Wang Quan's mind became lively: "This newly promoted household servant is really a person who can be trusted by the emperor, and he must pay more attention in the future, and I am afraid it will be too late to be promoted by this young Lord Zhang in the future." ”

Zhang Jibai said: "Eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics, this chief administrator Wang Quan dared to break into the palace, but the emperor did not punish him, and the people around the emperor who wanted to come to the harem were also involved with the previous dynasty." ”

Wang Quan saw the emperor's tone, and he was not really angry because of his unauthorized ingress, and his heart eased, fortunately, the emperor was still in a good mood today, otherwise a meal would have to be next to each other. As a minion, his net worth and life are not in his hands, so big things have happened in the imperial garden, how dare he delay as the head of the harem?

"The old slave has something to show to the saints, but it's just ...... It's just this ......"

Wang Quan, who was struggling, turned his head to look at Zhang Jibai next to him, and then turned his head to look at the emperor, and made a very hesitant and difficult to speak look on his face, which was obviously because Zhang Jibai was on one side and it was difficult to elaborate, and finally lowered his head, clasped his hands together, and waited for Xiao Jingming to consider.

"What should I do, you can come back later, go down!" Xiao Jingming knew his temperament as the queen of the main palace, the eldest lady of the Xue family in Nanding City back then, had a wealthy family and a prominent father, although she was also simple-minded, but she was only jealous......

Because of the old incident back then, Xiao Jingming has not cared for her for many years, and the queen's gift is also a last resort to take into account the six palaces. The queen couldn't afford to be sick for a long time, and as a husband, he never visited the queen's bedroom.

"Zhang Aiqing, I just talked about the expenses of the Imperial Garden, how much can I reduce the tax if I save it?"

Xiao Jingming didn't pay attention to Wang Quan, and still sat on the dragon chair and continued the topic with Zhang Jibai, who was standing.

"According to last year's accounts, it can be reduced by 30 percent, and if the excess expenditure of the armament budget is added, it will not be a problem to reduce it by 10 percent and a half!"

Seeing that Xiao Jingming did not shy away from Wang Quan at all, and what he said left and right was not a confidential matter, Zhang Jibai did not shy away from replying.

Wang Quan just got the news, and went straight from the imperial garden, anxious, so he recklessly forgot the rules and broke into the palace, according to the rules of the palace, eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in foreign affairs, and it is also a big crime to break into the palace by mistake, not to mention interjecting when the emperor and the foreign ministers discuss political affairs?

But now that the emperor doesn't know the development of the situation in the harem, and is still discussing with Zhang Jibai the budget for the expenses after the shutdown of the imperial garden, how can Wang Quan be good?

Wang Quan thought about the current situation, he couldn't go by himself, he couldn't stay, and he was in a cold sweat.

"Your Majesty, it seems that Chief Manager Wang has something important to do, as a foreign official, do you want to avoid it?"

As soon as Zhang Jibai said this, Wang Quan handed it over with a pair of eyes, full of gratitude, because if he didn't tell the Holy Lord in time what he knew, I was afraid that when the situation was irreparable, it would also be a capital crime.

"Isn't it that the queen is seriously ill, or is she going to take a lot of tonic herbs? Give her as much as she wants, and what else is there to say! ”

Xiao Jingming's anger gradually grew, for so many years, whenever the queen is mentioned, it is still inevitable to recall Qiu Yu's death, in fact, Xiao Jingming secretly hopes that Wang Quan will cry out the sound of the queen's death.

When Zhang Jibai assisted the King of Jin, he also heard about the discord between the King of Jin and the princess, and when he first ascended the throne, Zhang Jibai was also trying to persuade the emperor to set up the middle palace early. At that time, his original intention was extremely simple and clear, and in order to stabilize the throne, there was no doubt that the niece of the Duke of Yasukuni would be corrected as the lord of the middle palace as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty, the queen mother, she just went to investigate the progress of the imperial garden, and she was furious!"

Zhang Jibai, who was about to retreat, heard this, and couldn't help but stop his steps to retreat, at this moment, he wanted to listen, this queen mother, behind the Yasukuni Gong lineage, what is the attitude towards the reconstruction of the imperial garden, Zhang Jibai is also good to fight cattle across the mountain, and speculate on which side the Yasukuni Guild will stand on when impeaching Zheng Gonggong in the future.

"The matter has come to this, the old slave does not dare to delay any longer, the queen mother, she just saw those strange flowers and flowers sent to the imperial garden, all wilted there, moved angry...... Decreed, this imperial garden...... It must be completed by the ninth day of August! ”

Wang Quan put his heart sideways, although he had just seen the graceful posture of the queen, but the queen at this time was nothing more than a disgraced concubine who treated the middle palace as a cold palace.

"Your Majesty, the old slave has just made a big mistake, and I heard that the emperor and Lord Zhang are discussing the matter of reducing the tax burden, this is ...... The queen insisted on building the imperial garden...... Contrary to the will of the Holy One, the Emperor...... You ......"

On the one hand, the emperor's newly relied on favored ministers, and on the other hand, there is a nominal queen with a prominent background.

"This slut! Where is there still the virtue of the mother in the world! ”

Xiao Jingming was really furious, and pushed down the tea bowl in his hand and all the decorations on the table, the ground was in a mess, and the pen, paper, inkstone and inkstone were also smashed.

Zhang Jibai knelt down cautiously and saluted, "The emperor is angry, the middle palace is the mother of the world, and the emperor is the true dragon son of heaven. Your Majesty Retires! ”

Xiao Jingming couldn't care whether Zhang Jibai was present or not, the pain of Qiu Yu's death made him lose the last trace of reason, and he was vain and wronged with Zheng Gong and others in the court every day, and his pretended posture had made Xiao Jingming physically and mentally exhausted, and the taut string had reached the extreme of elasticity, and he could no longer withstand a little stimulation.

"Swing the Fengyi Palace!"

Zhang Jibai watched Wang Quan follow Xiao Jingming's busy roots and several little eunuchs in the distance were dumb, before leaving, Wang Quan made a gesture of thanks to Zhang Jibai, and hurriedly disappeared outside the hall.

After arriving at Baifu, Bai Yinfeng listened to Zhang Jibai tell this scene in detail, and sighed secretly: "The middle palace is immoral, the eunuchs are overstepping, Zheng Gong of the previous dynasty formed a party for personal gain, and the harem is also unorganized, in this world, I am afraid that it will change again......"

Zhang Jibai knew that Bai Yinfeng had stood in the world to see the changes of the dynasty, and he couldn't help but feel that the world was overflowing. (To be continued.) )
