Chapter 16 Variables
I thought it would be my turn soon, but I didn't expect that there would be an endless stream of people in the Ciyun Palace, which made me feel that I was too early, or that it was not so important, and the order was at the bottom. Huang Neishou on the side had no other way but to look in the direction of the temple gate from time to time to see if his own people had come back to report the news.
"It's okay, wait, I can't imagine that the Queen Mother is old, and she has to work so hard every day, how can I not be ashamed?" Liu Yu habitually took out a cigarette, lit one for himself, remembered that there was still someone there, touched another one and handed it over, signaling him to let him learn from himself and light it in his mouth.
Huang Neishou was still a little confused at first, but seeing that he was there to swallow clouds and spitting fog, it was a little fun, and he also learned to put the lit cigarette in his mouth and take a puff carefully. Because he just sucked it into his mouth and spit it out instead of swallowing, he avoided irritating his lungs and coughing, and as a thick cloud of smoke erupted, it slowly dissipated in the air, Huang Neishou regarded it as a plaything, and Liu Yu didn't want to correct him, so it was just right, and it was good for health.
When a little yellow door, who was presumably his cronies, ran over, he saw two people spitting smoke rings there, but fortunately, the Song people's curiosity was far greater than their fear of new things, and they were not afraid that they would think of themselves as monsters. Huang Nei's attendant saw him in the smoke, and quickly put down the cigarette and called him to come and talk back.
As soon as they heard that Chen Xianggong had just entered the hall, I was afraid that they would have to wait for a while, so Huang Neishi sent him to continue guarding in frustration. Liu Yu had already heard that title keenly, and knew that it was Chen Yizhong's special title, not that he had any complaints about interfering in his own team, seeing that he entered the palace to see the Xie family at this time, most of it should be related to Jiang Cai's appointment, so impatient, is it because he is afraid that he will regret it?
At this moment, on the Ciyun Palace, Xie Shi was watching Chen Yizhong come forward to salute, today's routine greetings for the day are almost over, she didn't expect people to come so neatly, those sick concubines in Pingsuli have made an appointment to come over and show their faces, and they are all worried about the recent decrease in the use of the palace.
The Xie family himself also came step by step from ordinary palace people, and he was not much tired of their secret complaints, these people were ordinary concubines, and some of them didn't even have children, so naturally they couldn't get anything sealed. Now it is normal to have some dissatisfaction with their routines, but now that the state affairs are difficult, even she herself can save them, so it is just a matter of listening to these complaints, but it is impossible to change them.
Chen Yizhong, who is only in his forties, stepped forward steadily, and already has a bit of the grace of a prime minister, Xie is still very satisfied with him, although he has acted a little tough since he took power, it seems that he is not as serious as those old people, but she herself knows very well how fragile the Great Song Dynasty is now, maybe it is better like this, at least for now.
Chen Yizhong held the white jade board and saluted respectfully to Xie Shi in front of him, and then sat on the brocade cushion arranged for himself, he didn't say some polite words, and said what he meant in a few words, so he took out the prepared watch seal from the sleeve cage and handed it over, naturally a female official who accompanied him took it and handed it to Xie Shi, this is just a letter of appreciation, she simply browsed it, and saw the string of official positions behind, and frowned inadvertently.
"Xianggong must have your reason for such a move, can you explain it to the old body?" Although she doesn't know much about those militaristic things, it doesn't mean that she doesn't understand the meaning, this place is not a good place for promotion, but the meaning of derogation is greater, how to convince the public in doing so, this is what she considers?
Chen Yizhong sat up from the cushion unhurriedly, and repeated what he had said to his cronies earlier, Xie only understood his intentions after hearing half of them, but this time most of the rewards were military generals, why did he want to take this hero of the first merit? There must be a demon when things go wrong, although Xie is old, she is not easy to fool, she looked at Chen Yizhong, who was talking eloquently, and did not say anything to echo or object.
"So that the Empress Dowager knows that the minister originally planned to transfer this person to the front division of the palace, and he was added to the deputy commander. But the two ministers stopped in unison, saying that he was from the Jia Department, although he had a small merit, he could not stay in Beijing, helplessly, the minister could only give in, it happened that the Qionghai Cliff thieves were in trouble, and the disaster affected several counties, and the court could not ignore it, so he thought that it was better to let him go. ”
Xie Shi somewhat understood his helplessness, the discord between the three was what she was happy to see, and most of what Chen Yizhong said should be the truth, but in this way, she could only wronged that person. The so-called Jia Department is just a pretext, Jia Rudao has been in power for more than ten years, and his protégés and former officials are all over the government and the opposition, and the one in front of him is an out-and-out Jia Party, and now Jia Rudao himself has been sent to Xunzhou for resettlement, and I don't know if he has arrived in the place at the moment.
"Holy man, please relax, the minister has made it very clear to him that as long as the rebellion is put down, it will be only a few months and a half, and he will be transferred back. He has no grievances, he is willing to contribute to the court, and everyone has the heart to serve, which is really the blessing of the Great Song Dynasty. Chen Yizhong's clear voice echoed in the hall, this was specially done to take care of the Xie family.
"That's it, just follow your intentions, but although this position has been promoted, the old body still feels that it is still indebted, why don't you add another state regiment training envoy, does it take the public to think it is appropriate?" Xie Shi sighed and said, the imperial court has no money now, even if it wants to reward some property, it is impossible, so it can only add such a false title to show gratitude.
"Grace comes from above, the saint's forgiving heart makes the courtiers all remember the five, the ministers are here to thank this person first, and go down to draw up the decree if he leans less." Chen Yizhong made a gesture of emotion, this was deliberately omitted by him, but now it has become the grace of the Son of Heaven, presumably Jiang Cai will be more grateful when he receives it.
Xie Shi waved his hand to stop his flattering words, Chen Yizhong did not retreat, which means that he has other things, sure enough, seeing his appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, it seems that he is a little embarrassed, Xie Shi ignored his little tricks, and waited quietly for him to say it.
"There is still one thing that the minister wants to ask the Empress Dowager to show off." Chen Yizhong said in a snort, he was alone at the moment, and he was quite suspicious of talking behind his back, "The matter discussed here last time, the minister thought that the request for the prime minister was still a little inappropriate, and I hope that the saint will not make a decision too early." ”
After saying this, Chen Yizhong secretly raised his eyes to look at Xie's face, and to his disappointment, he didn't see any changes. It's just that the words have already been spoken, and it is impossible to take them back, Chen Yizhong was a little apprehensive, and he didn't know whether to continue, and he had to know that it was too late.
"Say, old man listen." As he was pondering, he suddenly heard a voice from above, and he settled down and spoke.
"The reason why the minister thinks it is inappropriate is not out of selfishness, the sage must know that we have already discussed it before, and it was only at that time that Zhu Huan and Xia Gui were allowed to change positions. Why did he think he was inappropriate at that time, the minister thought about it later, it should be for this matter. After saying that, he took out another piece of paper and handed it to the female officer.
Hearing his words, Xie Shi took the piece of paper suspiciously, looked at what was written on it, and was a little unexpected, she really didn't expect it to be this reason, and if the situation is true, it is really a problem that cannot be ignored.
"Is this true?" She didn't believe it a little, although the young man didn't look very old, he was also close to the age of standing, how could it be.
"The minister has inquired again and again, and he will never be wrong, when the minister came, he saw that he himself was waiting outside the temple, and after a while, the saint could ask him, and it was expected that he would answer truthfully." Chen Yizhong swore that
"Then, according to what you see, who should be sent to Huaixi?" Xie Shi put down the piece of paper and asked.
"The minister does not dare to be exclusive in this matter, but there is one person who can consider it, and I hope that the saint and the two ministers will discuss it after public consultation, and if there is still something wrong, the minister will discuss it again." He simply said a name, Xie asked the female official to write it down, and when the time came, let Wang and Liu discuss it, this matter was not in a hurry, so he could only choose it slowly like this.
Everything has been done, Chen Yizhong also quit and quit, he still has a lot of things to do, and the things he just planned must also be printed as much as possible, otherwise I am afraid that it will be a long night and a lot of dreams.
Xie Shi nodded and watched him exit the hall step by step, she was just listening to the government, and she would feel tired every time, and she would change to an adult official family, which she had to deal with personally every day. A huge country, trillions of people, one wrong is a disaster to the common people, every thought and how can it not be like walking on thin ice.
"The kid is outside? But there is something impatient. Xie leaned on the back of the couch and asked with half-closed eyes, the female officer didn't come back to her senses for a while, and after thinking about it, she realized who she was asking.
"Sage, Huang Nei is accompanying him, and the two of them are resting in the water pavilion, and they don't seem to be impatient." She didn't say a word, the two of them didn't know what the hell they were doing, making the smoke around the pavilion billow, and the place was close to the water, so there was no danger of fire.
"Call him in." Hearing Xie's order, the female official answered and went out, she just stepped out of her foot, and the small yellow door that was probing her brain outside saw it, and hurriedly ran towards the water pavilion.
Liu Yu didn't notice Chen Yizhong's arrival, and he didn't know this person, and the waiter Huang Nei on the side was studying the smoking paper tube, until his cronies ran over and understood that it should be the palace summons.
Throwing down the cigarette butt in his hand, Liu Yu straightened his clothes, at this moment he had completely eliminated that nervousness, and he was only a little curious about this woman who wanted to see him. Under the guidance of Huang Neishi, the two walked towards the palace gate.
Chen Yizhong was already about to reach the front door, standing on the road, he suddenly turned around and looked at the hall behind him, the figure of the young man appeared in his eyes, he was about to be summoned by the saint, I don't know what the future will be? R1058
