"You used to be on an errand in Cining Palace, right?" Wu Yue asked softly.

Rong Xiang'er's face changed slightly, but she finally nodded.

Wu Yue smiled, stood up, slowly turned around, turned his back to this Rong Xiang'er, pondered for a moment, and said, "You were Su Mala Gu who transferred you from Cining Palace?" Or did the ancestor come over after consulting with Su Malagu? ”

Rong Xiang'er's face became cloudy, and finally she bit her back molars lightly, and said in a deep voice, "Back to the master, it is the slave recommended by the ancestor to the imperial aunt." After that, the imperial aunt trained the slave maid carefully for two months, and then came to the upper study to serve the master. ”

Wu Yue smiled lightly, shook his head lightly, and said to himself, "The old ancestor is still not at ease." ”

"Alright, you go down." Wu Yue said, slowly turned around, and waved his hand towards Rong Xiang'er.

Rong Xiang'er hurriedly bowed down and slowly retreated.

Wu Yue pondered, sat back on the dragon chair again, and secretly calculated in his heart. "The Empress Dowager of Xiaozhuang, who spent her whole life in the Qing Dynasty, was for the Qing Dynasty. Even in the face of me, Kangxi, who can be called the emperor of the ages, is not at ease. I personally trained the auxiliary government and knew the masters, and arranged it to my side through the hands of others. ”

"She also took great pains for the sake of the Qing Dynasty." Wu Yue couldn't help but mutter.

"Master, the ancestor is the first wise man of the Qing Dynasty. Slaves used to think so, and they still do. After hearing Wu Yue's words, Sandezi bowed deeply towards him and clenched his fists, and said in a deep voice.

Wu Yue turned his face sideways, looked at Sandezi with a smile and nodded.

"Maybe only those who are close to her know her true thoughts." Through the wide open palace door of the upper study, Wu Yue looked out of the palace stupidly and said a word stupidly.

At this time, the deacon and eunuch who went to the study ran in quickly, muttered in a low voice in the ear of Sandezi, and then bowed down and retreated quickly.

Sandezi turned around, bowed to Wu Yue and said, "Master, Lord Chen Tingjing has arrived. He is waiting for the decree outside the temple. ”

"Come in." Wu Yue straightened up, took back all his complicated thoughts, and responded.

"The emperor has a decree, Xuan Chen Ting respectfully meets you!" With a shout from Sandezi, Chen Tingjing, who was dressed in court, bowed down and walked in quickly.

Chen Tingjing, who came to the door, was greeted by Wu Yue after the imperial salute, and Wu Yue raised his hand and sat on the seat next to him.

After Chen Tingjing sat down, he turned slightly, bowed to Wu Yue, and said, "Master, the waterway repair and governance errand of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River is related to the long-term peace and stability of the Qing Dynasty and the lives of thousands of people. ”

"First, the officials involved in this matter can feel the emperor's determination to repair the waterway and prevent flooding this time. Let them not dare to relax and slack. Hundreds of officials worked together to resolutely win this battle. ”

"Second, you can also observe the people's situation along the way, which can play an extremely important role in your better handling of political affairs in the future."

"Third, it can let the people see what kind of person the emperor is. So as to recognize you and recognize the Qing Dynasty. ”

Chen Tingjing's words made Wu Yue frown suddenly.

"At present, it has been less than a month since the imperial power entered my hands. And the cabinet has just been formed. If I go out on patrol at this moment, are I in a hurry? Wu Yue pondered for a few minutes and asked in a low voice.

Chen Tingjing shook his head, "Master, the four auxiliary ministers are from the middle hall, and the other three have already returned to heaven. And the curb Zhongtang is bent on the affairs of the court, and does not have any desire to compete for hegemony, so there is no need to worry. ”

"Ao Bai is a party, and after Ao Bai died, the tree also fell and scattered. Some were transferred out of Beijing, and some were dormant in the court, without the suspicion of standing in line. ”

And Suo Zhongtang's party, although Suo Etu relied on his relationship with Sony's son, he inherited a lot of power. But secretly, there are already many dignitaries and dignitaries who do not agree with him. If you want to organize the power in front of Suo Zhongtang again in a short period of time, I'm afraid you don't have that kind of willingness. If you control the government, there is no hope. ”

Wu Yue frowned and nodded.

Chen Tingjing's face was solemn, and then he said, "Your Majesty, if you choose to leave Beijing at this time, there is another advantage, you can taste the humanity of these courtiers again in the dark!" So that when you have a big move in the future, you can well unify the opinions of the court, achieve the best effect of working together, hating the enemy, working together, and dealing with court affairs! ”

Wu Yue listened to this, and after pondering for a few minutes, he couldn't help but look up at Chen Tingjing and laughed.

"Chen Tingjing, fortunately, you are my courtier. If it is my opponent, then before I make a move with my opponent, the first person I want to attack is you. Wu Yue said.

Chen Tingjing could hear that Wu Yue's words were full of appreciation, and he hurriedly got up and bowed deeply towards him.

"Your Majesty, the minister is a courtier of the Qing Dynasty, and he will do his best because of the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty. This is what a courtier should do, and it must be done. Chen Tingjing said with a serious face.

Wu Yue got up, strode to Chen Tingjing's side, smiled and leaned down, and helped him up.

"Zirui, I'm lucky to have you, and Daqing is fortunate to be you!" Wu said more and more from the bottom of his heart.

The meaning of Wu Yue's words at this moment made Chen Tingjing's face instantly turn red, the corners of his mouth trembled vigorously, and he was speechless for a while.

"Alright, let's sit next to us and talk." Wu Yue raised his hand and patted Chen Tingjing's arm, then pulled him and sat down on the seat next to him.

Chen Tingjing's eyes were red at the moment, and after sitting down, he let out a long breath to calm his heart.

Wu Yue saw that Chen Tingjing had become calm, so he said, "Zirui, the folk San Lang Xiang Society, have you ever heard of it during this time?" ”

Chen Tingjing heard Wu Yue's words, and instantly knew what Wu Yue was going to say next, and hurriedly responded, "Master, about the matter of the San Lang Xiang Society, the minister has been sending people to investigate secretly. Yang Qilong, who is known as the third prince of Zhu, after the failure of the last assassination in the palace, left the capital, according to the secret agent's recital, a few days ago, appeared in the land of Yungui, according to the minister's estimate, it is time to rush to Yunnan, to meet Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi. ”

Wu Yue's face was cold and nodded.

"This person, relying on the fake identity of the third prince of Zhu, has united many people and has ghost thoughts about the country. I mean, the court can't let him continue. ”

"While mobilizing soldiers to encircle and suppress him, the imperial court must find a way to expose his true colors." Wu Yue looked at Chen Tingjing sideways and said with a serious face.

"Obey the order!" Chen Tingjing hurriedly responded to Wu Yue.

"But you have to think carefully about the specific methods of doing errands, and you must not expose his true identity in the name of the imperial court. so as not to leave them behind. Wu Yue continued.

Chen Tingjing nodded heavily.

Wechen got it. Wechen will scrutinize it carefully. Chen Tingjing responded in a deep voice.
