Chapter 64 Beating grass is to scare the snake
"He's really hard to keep his mouth shut." Cui Shufei smiled bitterly, "The emperor is generous to him, he has no shortage of money, and now everyone is holding him, and there is no shortage of power." Moreover, he has no home since he was a child, and he doesn't even have roots, where is his weakness? ”
"Isn't he worried about what will happen after his death?" The grandmother thought for a while and said, "Alive, there is the emperor's love." If you die, if you don't have incense, you won't be able to live there safely. ”
"I've never heard of that." Cui Shufei's eyes lit up, "For so many years, he has never befriended the eunuchs next to him in the palace, nor has he accepted apprentices, can there be outsiders?" But when idlers can't get out of the palace, since you can get in and out, just go and check! ”
"Yes." The grandmother said.
……
Hong Changzhi has been preoccupied recently, although on the surface, he is no different from usual.
The king of Linshan and his wife made a move to the emperor and wanted him to help, but he had already said that at most they would spread the news, but they would not help each other in major matters. Even though the emperor is very unsympathetic to him, after all, he is still a little affectionate. As a last resort, he didn't want to ruin it. It is true that he is a eunuch, but in the end he is still a person, and he must have a foundation for being a person.
However, he also had an unusual sense of smell, and he smelled the rotting foundations of the building before it collapsed. Xiao's big Zhao Jiangshan seems to be quite stable, and the things that have come out in recent years seem to be isolated, but he knows the hidden connections. It's like playing chess, where the blacks silently close together, and soon they can kill the entire dragon of white. At that time, white wanted to clean up the mountains and rivers...... It's all broken, how can it be put back together? What's more, the foundation is unstable in the first place.
Thinking of this, the image of a teenager appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but warm up in his heart. Fortunately, he also has a little grandson, and it is a little grandson who is in the right position. The king of Linshan promised that he would not coerce him with dogs, and said that he would spare his life in the future. Let him enjoy his old age in peace, and he will do it. As long as he waits for the emperor to the end, he has fulfilled the affection of the monarch and the servant, and he will live a free life with his grandson in the future.
"Grandpa Hong?" He was walking with his head down, and someone in front of him called out to him.
Looking up, I couldn't help but feel a pang in my heart, because the person who came knew her, and it was Cui Shufei's side who had to use the grandmother. Everyone in this palace wants to slap him, but Concubine Cui Shu is an exception. I saw through him early and couldn't buy it, so I didn't think about it. On weekdays, he is very cold and arrogant, and when he has nothing to do, he looks for him, which is very weird.
Thinking so in his heart, he didn't dare to be lazy in his actions, and hurriedly put on a smiling face to greet him, "Isn't this the grandma next to the lady concubine?" Could it be that the lady concubine is looking for an old slave? ”
"It's just to call the slave maid to invite the father-in-law." The grandmother smiled, "Are you free now?" ”
Niang Niang called, if you are not available, you have to be free. What's more, the other party obviously came with a little pinch, and he had just been on a business trip. How could he have the reason and courage to refuse, so he immediately smiled and said, "Niangniang has something to send, so you can't ask for words." The old slave is always at his disposal. Please lead the way, and we'll get there. ”
The grandmother responded with a smile, and the two came to Jinyun Palace one after the other, and saw Concubine Cui Shu sitting on a rocking chair under the porch. Fiddling with a nine-in-a-row in his hand, he was playing as if he was having a good time.
The grandmother stepped forward to reply, and Hong Changzhi saluted. Concubine Cui Shu asked someone to take out a brocade box and said, "The summer days are long, and the palace has nothing to do, so I made a pair of boots for the emperor." But the emperor hasn't come over recently, so I'll trouble Gonggong Hong to send it to me. It's not that the emperor doesn't have shoes to wear, the most important thing is that the palace hasn't carried needle money for many years, I heard that when people get older, their feet will grow, and I don't know if they fit the emperor's feet. ”
Hong Changzhi respectfully took the brocade box, naturally he couldn't be more polite, so he immediately opened it to see, only carefully held it, his mouth was full of errands, but he thought that Cui Shufei was blaming the emperor for not coming for too long, so as to wake up the emperor. In the harem, there are a lot of such cautions, otherwise what would you say about whether you are old or not? He didn't have to take this matter to heart, just choose a time to present his boots. But he didn't expect the next words, but he was so frightened that he almost knelt, and cold sweat came out of his back.
"I'm rewarded for this." Concubine Cui Shufei handed the nine rings in her hand to the palace maid waiting beside her and said, "It's not a treasure of gold, silver and jade, but it's copper, it's better than being delicate and fun, but it's a little different, I'm afraid that other people's families don't have it yet." ”
This is clear: one, it is not valuable, but it can be collected. Second, the mind is rare. Three, it's something new.
Hong Changzhi excused himself, "Although I don't dare to resign from my mother's reward, I still like my mother, and I don't dare to take my mother's love." ”
"What a good thing, children love to play, and this palace is also a whim." Concubine Cui Shu took the opportunity to get to the point, "The emperor's favor to the king of Linshan and his wife is always rewarded, and he sends you there every time to show his grandeur." I heard that there is a child in their house, who seems to be called a dog, and he is very eye-catching. Since you like it, why don't you give this little gadget to that kid too? Speaking of which, you are also old, if you really like it, it is better for this palace to be the master for you, and accept it as a little apprentice, but it is also fate. ”
Hong Changzhi's heart was beaten hard, his face turned white, no matter how good his cultivation is, no matter how deep the city government is, he will not be able to hold it when it comes to things and people that are more important than his own life. It's a human being, not a mud tire.
When he saw the sweat on his forehead, he didn't dare to wipe it, so he only made a very hot appearance, and took a few deep breaths before saying, "It's still the mother who feels sorry for the old slave." This man loves to see children when he is old. Don't all the people say it? People cherish their children, and cats eat their children. But it's just a look, but I don't think about anything else, thank you for your care, I won't bother you. The old slave hasn't been to the Linshan Mansion for a long time, and as soon as the mother said, the old slave has forgotten what the kid looks like. ”
From the moment she made a tentative statement, Concubine Cui Shufei stared at Hong Changzhi's face tightly, and naturally took his slightly strange expression into her eyes, and her heart was clear. However, she is expressing kindness and giving Hong Changzhi a favor, so it is difficult to say too deeply. If Hong Changzhi had that meaning, she would open her mouth by the way, and it would be much more convenient than Hong Changzhi to accept that child into the palace. In this way, I bought it in front of this old fellow, and when I mentioned Jiulang's matter in a few days, I didn't believe that he didn't beat the side drum in front of the emperor.
"That's a reward for you." Concubine Cui Shu motioned to the palace maid and handed over the Nine Links to Hong Changzhi, "The one called the dog doesn't like it, what if you fall in love with other children in the future?" Take it, even if the palace gives you a meeting gift, don't be too polite. ”
"The old slave Xie Niangniang cares." Hong Changzhi's knees weakened and he knelt on the ground. It's thankful to look at, but it's actually scary.
Cui Shufei was self-righteous, feeling that she had prepared a favor and could send it out at any time, but she didn't know the turbulent waves in Hong Changzhi's heart. He didn't know how he got out of Jinyun Palace with his things, and there was nothing else in his heart along the way, only a string of words: Afraid! Afraid! Afraid!
He was already very careful, and he didn't dare to come forward to recognize his grandson in front of him, why was he still seen by others? He knew that the emperor had planted a lot of secret lines in the Linshan Palace, which even he didn't know, could it be that Concubine Cui Shu got the secret report from those dark lines? He had always known that this woman's hand was very long, but he didn't know that it had grown to this extent.
So, how much does she know? Or did he just think he had a general interest in dogs? Now, he really regrets not being at the beginning, he shouldn't be able to help it, and he met very early. If he was more cautious, and waited for Da Zhao to change the sky and then his ancestors and grandchildren would bow down, how good would it be! It must be that Concubine Cui Shufei wants to ask him for help to say in front of the emperor, so she wants to investigate him, want to catch him, or give him sweetness.
Does Cui Shufei already know the true identity of the dog? In the past two years, the child has grown more and more like him. In the eyes of those who have a heart, there must be bad speculation. No, no, no, she should not know, or be unsure, or she wouldn't be tempted. In terms of her temperament, if she knew it, she should have been caught in the palace and blackmailed him to do things for her. Moreover, Gou'er and the young master of the Huo family were sent to Jiangnan by Princess Linshan, and they were not in the palace at this time.
Then, it was the woman who smelled something, and thought that he, like the other eunuchs, was also going to find a disciple and a grandson, so that he could be filial behind him. That would be even more troublesome, she would take matters into her own hands and get the dog into the palace. As a man, there is only one way to enter the palace, and that is to purify oneself. The dog is his only descendant, how can he be as crippled as him!
Returning to his residence, Hong Changzhi forced himself to calm down, and after thinking about it for a long time, his heart was at ease. Fortunately, the dog is not here now, if Concubine Cui Shufei asks for someone from the king of Linshan and his wife, they will not give it. But the woman was mad and could do all sorts of stupid things, and if she remembered it, the dog was always in danger. What if, she sees something, what should she do if she breathes in front of the emperor? The emperor is a person, that is, he would rather let me bear the people of the world than let the people of the world bear me. If there is doubt, he will always go to his own suspicion first, and then talk about it, so that he doesn't care whether others live or die.
No way! Never! He would rather die himself, be a sinner for the ages, and never let his own grandson, the only one, face any risk. Your Majesty, I can't say it, the old slave is only sorry for you. There are few wives and good husbands, who let you spoil such a concubine for 30 years, in the end, you can only harm yourself. On this day, no matter what, you have to change quickly, you can ...... I can't complain about the old slave!
With a decision in his heart, Hong Changzhi took the opportunity to follow the emperor to the Moon Shadow Palace and gave the letter to the concubine. He only said one sentence: But driven by His Royal Highness the King of Linshan, he will never give up!
Receiving this, Xiao Shiyi's lips hooked up with a smile.
He had already told Liuli about the plan, so Liuli knew that he deliberately let Cui Shufei's people find out about the dog's existence, and also misled them, making them think that Hong Changzhi intended to accept the apprentice. This is equivalent to sending a knife that can't be cut down at all to Cui Shufei and letting her wield it to scare Hong Changzhi.
Naturally, the previous concubine prevented Concubine Cui Shufei from recalling Jiulang, and the relationship between Concubine Yue and Hong Changzhi was a little close, and this information was also sent to Concubine Cui Shu, which was also the handiwork of Concubine Yue. In this way, it is good to stimulate Cui Shufei to do something to Hong Changzhi.
And only if the woman rashly made a move and threatened the safety of the dog, Hong Changzhi would completely obey the order. The matter of the edict, without Hong Changzhi, would not have been possible at all.
