4. Check the upper meaning

The two eunuchs who came in, one was in his forties, he was originally on an errand in the Zhaoyang Palace, and the other looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, very smart.

Originally, the chief and deputy chief of the Zhaoyang Palace had disappeared, and they were either locked up in the Shen Criminal Division or sent by the emperor on other errands. The eunuchs who can be in charge of the main palace have deep qualifications and connections in the palace. The emperor has only been on the throne for half a year, and they cannot be regarded as the emperor's henchmen, even if Your Majesty takes advantage of the time to change his own people, it is a matter of course.

So don't expect the original person to come back, in exchange, the chief eunuch is Feng Dechang, who has just been slapped by her, and the deputy chief is this Zhang Dezhong, who is in his forties and looks a little wooden, and Xiao Jiang, an inner servant brought from King Kang's mansion.

However, with the emperor's personality, the arrangement of these two people may not be to monitor this empress who he himself does not care about very much.

The safety of the people who came out of King Kang's Mansion was actually much higher than that of people from other places in the harem.

Even if they have two hearts, the two are still emperors, not other women.

Where she lives, of course, it is more reassuring to use her own people.

Somewhat absentmindedly listening to Zhang Dezhong talking about the arrangements of the various directors in the palace, Xiao Jiang added the background of the people named by Zhang Dezhong from time to time, and Zhao Yanrong only listened to half of what they said, so he opened his mouth to stop him.

"You know it so clearly, so you don't need to explain everything to this palace."

"Zhang Dezhong arranged it well, reward." With the queen's mother's reward, Mulan handed over the purse that had been prepared a long time ago.

"Xiao Jiangzi is also good, and I will reward one." The little eunuch didn't expect to be rewarded with a few words, and his heart was happy, and his eyes were bent.

"Feng Dechang has no master, and he contradicts the palace by making remarks, and the palace has already been punished." Zhao Yanrong lowered her head and looked at the nails she had just trimmed, "This palace doesn't want to see him again in Zhaoyang Palace, Zhang Dezhong, what can you do?" ”

Zhang Dezhong's throat rolled up and down, and he said: "Niangniang is the master of Zhaoyang Palace, you can use whoever you want, and you don't use whoever you don't want." It's just that Gonggong Feng is the chief eunuch, and if he wants to change, he is afraid that he will have to talk to the emperor's ward. ”

"Hongu knows." Zhao Yanrong nodded, "I'll send the excerpt over in a while." In the future, this Zhaoyang Hall will be handed over to you. Xiao Jiangzi was promoted to be the deputy director. ”

The two eunuchs hurriedly kowtowed to thank him, and even Zhang Dezhong, who was honest, had a look of surprise on his face.

"Mother, can Your Majesty agree to such a change?" Waiting for the two eunuchs who were about to be promoted, one foot deep and one shallow foot to walk out of the hall with dreamlike steps, Mulan leaned over to Zhao Yanrong's side and asked in a whisper.

"Why didn't Your Majesty agree?" Zhao Yanrong raised her eyebrows, and an unfathomable smile appeared on her face, "He can't wait to change it." ”

The emperor has only been on the throne for half a year, and there are old people in the palace, how many are loyal to him, and how many are with other thoughts?

A few years ago, the princes fought for their heads, and there was no clean hand and foot in the palace, and the emperor wanted to feel at ease, so he had to replace his own people.

Where do your own people come from? In addition to the business in the palace in those years, there are only people who came from King Kang's mansion when he was King Kang before.

What is Feng Dechang? The eunuch in charge of the palace province is a fool, he doesn't know how to see it, and he doesn't know the severity, so it's a joke to be the chief eunuch.

The reason why Feng Dechang will be replaced is that this person is an old man in the palace, and he is easy to make mistakes, so if he takes the opportunity to kick someone and replace him with his own, it will not be so eye-catching.

The emperor's stomach is crooked, but he is not an honest man.

Pity Feng Dechang, he was used as a thunderbolt like this.

As the emperor's wife, since she guessed his intentions, how could she not cooperate well at this time? Not to mention that Feng Dechang committed a stupid crime in her hands, even if he was honest, she would have to find a reason to drive people out in the future.

Subordinates who are good at understanding their intentions are not easy to be squeezed out of their seats by newcomers.

This can be regarded as a return for the favor. The emperor cleared her suspicion so quickly, so she had to say something.

Sure enough, the excerpt was handed over at night, and early the next morning, someone came over with a handwritten note from the emperor.

The four big words that are particularly chic and vigorous: "I am very comforted." ”

Zhao Yanrong pursed her lips and smiled, and asked Mulan to put away the note of affection.

In Zhao Yanrong's eyes, Feng Dechang is gone.

Feng Dechang's face was still swollen when he left, and the bruises were very scary. Because it was the Shen Criminal Division who took the person directly, he didn't give him a chance to cry, so he directly gagged the cloth head and dragged it out from the back corner door of the Zhaoyang Palace.

When Mulan came back and told Zhao Yanrong about this, her face was full of relief.

Zhao Yanrong was eating fruit on the couch, and she couldn't help but laugh when she saw her like this: "You are still the aunt of the palace of Zhaoyang Palace, you put all your thoughts on your face, and you can't hold it at all." ”

"The slave and maid are facing the mother, what else do you want to hide?" Mulan knelt in front of the couch with a smile, moved one of her legs on her body, and gently beat her, "The slave maid will not hide anything from you in her heart, and she can't hide it if she wants to." "Twitch and thump, and the hand slowed down.

Zhao Yanrong was still enjoying it, but suddenly she lost her strength in her legs, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that Mulan was looking at her legs in a daze, and her eyes were red as if she was about to cry.

"What's wrong again?" Zhao Yanrong pulled a clean handkerchief from the head of the bed and handed it to Mulan's eyes.

"Ahh Mulan came back to her senses, and hurriedly pressed the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said with a forced smile, "The slave and maid have lost her temper again." ”

"If you don't cry enough, go out and cry enough before you come in." Zhao Yanrong said lazily, "Don't hold it back, so as not to hold it back." ”

"The slave is fine, but I don't think it's true." Mulan knelt up straight and thumped her leg again, "A few days ago, it was like the sky was falling. Although the mother always says that it is okay, the slaves and maids see that you are haggard and sad, and there is nothing they can do. Originally, it was just a small wind and cold, but Feng Dechang's dog slave insisted on dragging it and not letting the imperial doctor ask for it, so he dragged the minor illness into a major illness. ”

"Niangniang, it's good that you're like this now!"

Of course, this is because Feng Dechang wants to beg Concubine Rong, but a small illness is tossed into a major illness, and a major illness is tossed into an incurable disease, in fact, a large part of the reason is that the original owner of this body is bent on death.

Zhao Yanrong didn't understand what this woman thought, she had to toss herself to death.

Maybe it's so that the emperor will compensate the Zhao family for remorse in the future, or maybe it's to push the emperor hard so that he has more reason to fight against the hidden forces in the court......

No matter what she thinks, now that this body has been taken over, she will definitely not be like that woman, who does not take her life seriously.

She wants to enjoy life and live this life happily.

No one wants to make her unhappy, and those who make her unhappy must be prepared for their own unhappiness.

That's right, Zhao Yanrong is such a master who can't suffer, can't stand it, and can't rub his eyes into the sand.

After noon, the young eunuch of the province in the palace came to the queen to say goodbye and asked: "The emperor's new decree is to ask Concubine Rong Niangniang to return the temporary phoenix seal to Niangniang, and also ask Niangniang to show that Rong Weichen will make arrangements." ”

Zhao Yanrong half leaned on the soft couch, her face was still a little pale, and she waved her hand at him and said, "Young Eunuch, please get up." By His Majesty's grace, I want to return this phoenix seal to the palace. But you have also seen that this palace is now more than enough but not enough, I am afraid that I will not be able to share the worries of His Majesty. Of course, it is not justifiable to always let Concubine Rong take care of it, and there are several concubines and concubines above her. The palace thought about it, and it was better to leave this phoenix seal in the hands of the Queen Mother. ”

The Queen Mother is the concubine of the first emperor, not the emperor's mother.

Emperor Li Rui was only recorded by the first emperor in the name of the concubine when he was about to be made a prince, and he was eighteen years old at that time, so he naturally had no feelings for this cheap girl. However, Daqi Xiang puts filial piety first, and as the prince, he naturally wants to be a model for everyone, so the mother and son show that they are also filial piety. As soon as Li Rui ascended the throne, he respected this noble concubine mother as the queen mother.

The original crown princess has been dead for more than two years, and after the new emperor ascended the throne, he did not promote from the side concubines, but picked and picked among the courtiers and nobles of the appropriate age, and finally decided that Zhao Shangshu's eldest daughter was the queen.

Zhao Yanrong married into the palace for two months, and there was something disgusting, and the phoenix seal was transferred from her to Concubine Rong.

If you want to live comfortably in the palace, the biggest obstacle in front of Zhao Yanrong is not the favored palace concubines, but the Empress Dowager Zhang.

At the beginning, the competition for the crown prince was extremely fierce, and Li Rui, King Kang, was not a popular candidate. This has a lot to do with his background.
