The entire Han Palace is full of the eyes of the ten permanent servants, and it is impossible for the affairs in the palace to be hidden from the ears and eyes of the ten permanent servants.

When Guo Sheng returned to the house, a little eunuch was already waiting here, and said to him respectfully: "Guo Gong, let the public have an invitation." ”

Guo Sheng's face did not change, there was no surprise, and he waved the dust and said indifferently: "Lead the way." ”

Soon the group came to the conservatory hall of the South Palace of the Han Palace, Guo Sheng did not enter the hall, and stood outside the hall with a whisk, while the little eunuch who led him hurriedly walked into the hall.

Greenhouse Palace, as the name suggests, is the Han Dynasty emperor's winter cold palace, and spread on the Ling Emperor such a faint monarch, the weather just turned cold and hid in the palace, and did not see him deal with government affairs, every day only care about drinking and having fun with the palace maid.

When Guo Sheng arrived outside the palace, Zhang Rang, the first of the ten permanent attendants, was waiting beside Emperor Ling, and at this time, the little eunuch hurriedly entered and whispered a few words in his ear.

Zhang Rang nodded in understanding, and then said to Emperor Ling with a little flattery: "Your Majesty, Guo Sheng has come to the palace, maybe there are palace affairs to discuss with the old ministers......

Emperor Ling was holding the two palace maids frolicking and drinking, and waved his hand drunkenly when he heard this.

Seeing this, Zhang Rang bowed and withdrew from the hall.

The moment he walked out of the hall, he straightened up and glanced outside the hall twice, until he saw Guo Sheng waiting outside the hall, and then slowly walked towards the latter.

"Let the public. ”

Guo Sheng took the initiative to step forward and salute.

After all, Zhang Rang is the most powerful person among the permanent servants, followed by Zhao Zhong, the eldest Changqiu beside Queen He, as for Guo Sheng, he is probably ranked fifth and sixth in the middle of the first cadre, which does not seem to be high, but in fact, the power in his hands is not small, plus his relationship with the He family, no, even Zhang Rang has to greet him politely and call him 'Guo Gong'.

The two casually exchanged two words, and then Zhang Rang said what he meant: "I heard that Shi Hou summoned Guo Gong?"

"Yes. ”

Guo Sheng didn't hide it, and after looking left and right, he whispered to Zhang: "Shi Hou admires Cai Bojiao's second daughter, please ask our family to bring this daughter to the palace to be his companion." ”

Zhang Rangyan's expression was strange, as if he was smiling, he looked at the greenhouse hall behind him, and then at Guo Sheng in front of him, but in an instant, his crying and laughing expression was gradually replaced by solemnity.

"Can you replace it with his daughter?" he asked, frowning.

Guo Sheng shook his head implicitly: "Shi Hou only needs Cai Bojiao's second daughter." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Rang frowned again.

The other women are easy to say, but Cai Yong's daughter, he really doesn't want to bring it into the palace to be with that Shi Hou, so as not to affect that Shi Hou.

After all, judging from the current indications, that Shi Hou is very likely to become the crown prince.

"Guo Gong should go down?" he asked again.

Guo Sheng smiled and said euphemistically: "Shi Hou begged each other, how could our family refuse ruthlessly?"

In fact, Guo Sheng actually didn't want to recruit Cai Yong's daughter into the palace, and the reason why he agreed was because he sensed that Na Shihou intended to get closer to him and didn't want to miss this opportunity.

And hearing Guo Sheng's words, Zhang Rang also understood Guo Sheng's thoughts.

How could people like them miss the great opportunity to marry the future prince and the new king?

Moreover, they are all regular servants of each other, and there is no subordinate to the upper and lower, only the size of the power, Guo Sheng sells him face and gives him courtesy, on the contrary, Zhang Rang has nothing to do with him, after all, Guo Sheng is the 'guide' of He's entry into the palace, and in terms of closeness to He's, he is on par with Zhao Zhong, who is now the eldest Changqiu next to Queen He.

Of course, the most important thing is that in the face of the pressing of the sergeants of the court, the ten permanent servants have reached a tacit understanding to join forces and fight, and unless the core interests are touched, the ten permanent servants are basically in lockstep.

"Oh well. ”

Zhang Rang finally nodded and agreed, after all, it was indeed not a big deal to bring a girl into the palace.

If Cai Yong's daughter doesn't know what to do in the future and tries to influence Shi Hou, it's a big deal to find a way to make her die or disappear in the palace.

Anyway, there are never many palace maids who died violently or even disappeared inexplicably in the palace, and even young princes.

However, where is Cai Yong now?

According to Shi Hou, it seems that it is rumored in the world that Cai Bojiao is in the land of Wuhui and is sheltered by the Taishan Goat. ”

"Which sheep?"

"The former Taiwei Yang Cifu Peng, the former Lujiang Taishou, the current Nanyang Taishou's Yang Xu, and the Yang Xingzu Yang clan. ”

"Shhh Zhang Rang took a light breath of cold air.

The reason is that this Yang Xu is not only a scholar, but also a party member, and it is not surprising that he is the group of eunuchs who hate them the most, and the two sides are incompatible.

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Rang told Guo Shengdao: "When you send someone, remember to tell Cai Bojiao that if he doesn't come to provoke us again in the future, the old grievances will be written off, but if he dares to secretly instruct his daughter to bewitch Shi Hou...... Be careful that no one ends up. ”

"It's natural. ”

Guo Sheng replied with a smile, after all, it is one thing to please Shi Hou, and his position is still on the side of their ten permanent servants.

Before dusk that day, the Shichang Servant Group, which was indignant by the world, gathered inside, integrated their connections, and contacted the prison slaves who managed the fields and property outside for them, as well as brothers, relatives, friends, and guests, to help Shi Hou find someone, after all, the matter of currying favor with the future prince could not be taken by Guo Sheng.

Such a big battle, the palace naturally couldn't hide it, and within two days, it spread, and it reached the ears of Emperor Ling, Empress He, and Empress Dowager Dong.

A ten-year-old child, who is also the most likely prince to become the crown prince at present, didn't want to study hard, so he actually instigated the middle attendant to forcibly summon Cai Yong's daughter to accompany him, which made Emperor Ling more and more disliked Liu Wei, and decided to call him to reprimand him.

In fact, Zhang Rang, who was beside Emperor Ling, could be dissuaded at this time, but he rolled his eyes and didn't do that.

Since he wants to reprimand his son, it must not be in the greenhouse hall, and the Spirit Emperor still has to face.

So Emperor Ling rarely moved to the Chongde Hall of Nangong, pretended to deal with government affairs, and at the same time summoned Liu Wei to lecture.

After a short time, Liu Wei came to the outside of the palace under the guidance of several little eunuchs.

To his surprise, Zhang Rang, the head of the Ten Standing Attendants, was actually standing outside the hall, as if waiting for him.

Just when he was surprised, Zhang Rang also saw him, took the initiative to show his goodwill, and said in a low voice: "Shi Hou, Your Majesty has learned that you ordered Guo Chang to serve that matter, and there is some blame, but Shi Hou does not need to panic, he can sincerely admit his mistake later, and the rest have their own old ministers." ”

That's right, how can interceding for Liu Wei behind his back be better than interceding for the future prince in person?

Liu Wei also immediately understood Zhang Rang's overture, pretending to be a little panicked and said happily: "Then it depends on Zhang Gong." ”

"How dare you. Zhang Rang's face was full of smiles, and the wrinkles on his face became more and more obvious.

Later, under the guidance of Zhang Rang, Liu Wei walked into the main hall of the Chongde Palace, and saw the Spirit Emperor lying in the jade case at a glance.

What's in it?

He secretly mocked in his heart.

Although he didn't have any eyeliner in the palace, the entire Han Palace knew that Emperor Ling was hiding in the greenhouse hall all day long to enjoy himself during this time, how could he not know?

Speaking of this Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, it is really the most mediocre group of faint monarchs in history, who has reigned for 21 years and has almost no benefit to the people of the country and the world, on the contrary, it can be called a disaster.

On the absurdity and immorality, there is a wine pond meat forest from time to time, and this Emperor Ling does not have to be restrained at all, and the palace maid is naked and he is frolicking and chasing in the garden, and because of the rise in the palace to imitate the market, the palace maid and concubine are dressed as merchants, the most incredible thing is that when a eunuch in order to win his favor and let a dog wear the clothes of a courtier, this faint monarch actually stroked his palm and praised, and praised with a smile: "What a dog official!"

In comparison, this faint monarch sells official beards, which is nothing.

However, it was this kind of faint monarch who actually had the face to ask Yang Qi in the waiter: "How about Emperor Huan and I?"

Yang Qi's answer was quite face-saving to Emperor Ling, and said, "Your Majesty wants to compare with Emperor Huan, just like Yu Shun and Tang Yaobide." ”

In this way, the Spirit Emperor was still very unhappy.

Throughout Chinese history, these two generations of faint monarchs can be called the most mediocre and unscrupulous group of monarchs, and they really suffered the contemporary subjects of the Han Dynasty.

Of course, although Liu Wei disdained his cheap father in his heart, he didn't show it on his face, and bowed his hand very sensibly: "Father." ”

Hearing the call, Emperor Ling raised his head and let Liu Wei see his pretended gloomy face.

However, what attracted Liu Wei's attention the most was Emperor Ling's sunken and blackened eyes, which was obviously a manifestation of a long-term obsession with women's empty body, and it was no wonder that this faint monarch died two years later, at the age of thirty-two.

In a word, this kind of faint monarch can get the 'filial piety' after his death, and it seems that the monarch who gets the evil after death such as Emperor Yang of Sui will cry out for injustice.

"Humph!"

I saw the Spirit Emperor snort heavily, and said angrily, "Do you know why I summoned you?"

In fact, according to the thinking of adults, Liu Biao wanted to answer', 'I know', after all, Zhang Rang was waiting for him outside the palace before, if he still said that he didn't know, he would inevitably deceive himself, but it was in line with the previous character of 'Shihou Liu Bian', so as not to arouse suspicion, he deliberately pretended to be very flustered, anyway, Zhang Rang would intercede for him, and he had no fear.

No, seeing that Liu Wei showed a panicked look, Zhang Rang really opened his mouth to persuade: "Your Majesty is angry, Shi Hou admires the daughter of the Cai family, and wants her to enter the palace to accompany him, this is not a big deal." And Cai Bojiao...... Well, he is well-versed in history, good at rhetoric, and good at calligraphy, so he deserves his reputation as a great Confucian, and his daughter will not be bad if he thinks about it. With Cai's daughter accompanying Shi Hou, Shi Hou may be urged to concentrate on his studies. ”

I have to say that I am afraid that Zhang Rang never thought that he would one day say good things for Cai Yong, who impeached them for interfering in political affairs, who let Shi Hou, who let them stammer, fall in love with Cai Yong's daughter.

"Isn't it, Shi Hou?" he tried to give Liu Wei a message.

What else could Liu Wei say, it was naturally nodded again and again, although in his heart, the Spirit Emperor, the faint monarch, was not qualified to teach him a lesson at all.

Zhang Rang, Cao Jie and others, who were eunuchs who once supported Emperor Ling's succession, until Cao Jie's death, Zhang Rang also became the leader of the Ten Standing Attendants.

It is precisely because of this credit that Emperor Ling trusts Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and other ten permanent servants the most on weekdays, even if the courtiers have conclusive evidence to impeach, Emperor Ling has repeatedly tolerated it.

What's more, this faint monarch tasted 'Zhang Changshi is my father, Zhao Changshi is my mother', calling Zhang Rang 'father', being a monarch to do this, it is simply intolerable to not die in the country.
