Chapter 165: Don't Knock
The house in Baodafang Cuihua Hutong was rented by the old man Sun Xian in the early years, and later the eldest lord was promoted to the palm print of the celebrity, and according to the rules, the emperor wanted to give another house. But Master Sun thought that Neiku was nervous, and the emperor didn't take advantage of it, and his old man also missed the old, and felt that his family had lived in Cuihua Hutong for nearly 30 years, and he was not suitable for moving elsewhere, so he pushed the reward of the new house with the emperor and still lived in this Cuihua Hutong.
The year before last, Shuntianfu opened up the south side of Cuihua Hutong, so that from Cuihua Hutong can be directly connected to the north lane of Dongchang Hutong, so that the value of this Cuihua Hutong has appreciated a lot, and the traffic is much more convenient. Now in this alley, in addition to Master Sun, there are also Admiral Yin Sui, Shang Bao, and Master Qian Zhong, the three eunuchs of the Zhidian.
In order to ensure the safety of these two celebrants, the Shuntian Mansion and the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division have set up patrol points in the alleys, and the Dongchang side has also sent Fanzi on duty. At the end of the afternoon, the Dongchang fans on duty in Cuihua Hutong noticed that there were suddenly more people entering and leaving the alley, not only officials from the court, but also many eunuchs in the palace, most of whom entered the house of the eunuch Sun Da with palm prints.
There are really a lot of people in Master Sun's house, and they are all anxious, and Master Sun himself is also anxious, and the people sent to inquire have left several times, but none of them can bring a quasi-news back to the eldest master, that is, the group of Donglin Party members in Kedao somehow made a fuss and contacted a large group of people to impeach Wei Liangchen, the lieutenant of Jiangnan Town.
The leader is Yang Lian in the matter of Huke, who threatens to bring people to the door of Huiji tomorrow to knock on the door!
"Nonsense, what nonsense!"
Sun Xian paced back and forth in the hall with his hands in his hands, "Such a big movement, why doesn't he talk to our family?" If he doesn't know about this, doesn't he take us for fools? ”
The more Sun Xian thought about it, the more angry he became, and said to the people on the left and right: "In the past, big and small things, the Xianggong side respected our family, and he could always give our family a voice, so that our family could have a preparation, but this time it was good, it was so big quietly, if it wasn't for the news delivered to us by the General Administration, we would still be called in the drum!" ”
"But isn't it, there is indeed something unreasonable on the side of the Donglin Party, no matter who those sub-Kedao are aiming at, they always have to say hello to the big man, this is not to say hello to move, is there a big master in his eyes? Is there any inner court left? "It was Sun Xian's confidant and the royal eunuch's palm print Qi Tai who spoke.
Sun Xian stopped, and gestured to Qi Tai with a deep groan: "You go to the cabinet again with our family's post, and give us the words to understand, if he doesn't give us an explanation, then our family won't even ask about this matter." ”
"Yes, Ancestor!"
Qi Tai hurriedly took the post and went straight to the cabinet. Sun Xian was too old to stand for a long time, so he sat down, and was about to ask who was in the Donglin Party and whether the content of the impeachment was true, when Liu Shimin, the eunuch of the clerical office, came.
Sun Xian nodded slightly at Liu Shimin, this Liu Shimin was recommended to the emperor by the former palm seal Chen Ju before his death, but he was talented, and he was also very responsible in the clerical room in the past few years, so Sun Xian also valued him very much, introduced him as a cronie, and prepared to recommend him to the emperor after two years to be promoted to the eunuch of the ceremonial court.
Liu Shimin had been instructed by Sun Xian to go to another eunuch, Jin Zhong.
Sun Xian asked him directly: "What did Jin Zhong say?" ”
Liu Shimin bowed and said, "Gonggong Jin told the little one to tell the old ancestor that Gonggong Xiao Wei is in trouble, and it is best for our inner court not to get involved, otherwise the emperor will be unhappy." ”
"Huh?"
Sun Xian snorted slightly, "Who doesn't know that Wei Liangchen is in his name Jin Zhong, and now that something has happened, if his Jin Gonggong doesn't protect it, he has to ask someone to point to the backbone and scold, but if he wants to protect it, how can he protect the law?" ... What does it mean that the emperor will be unhappy? Where did he start with that? ... Hmph, is he reminding our family that Wei Liangchen is doing things for His Majesty? ”
Liu Shimin only listened respectfully, but did not speak.
"It's about the reputation of the inner court, if the officials play well, it's all a fact, how can our family tell the emperor?" Sun Xian's words were not only talking to himself, but also asking Liu Shimin.
Liu Shimin's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "Ancestor, it is better to be quiet than to move at the moment. ”
"Let's see how he Fuqing Xianggong explains to our family."
Sun Xian nodded, he could do the position of the boss and palm print, but he didn't just rely on Jin Zhong to "give way", nor did he rely on his own ability. The wisest choice for his ancestor now is to wait and see what happens, and see what the officials of Zi Donglin can toss, if that Yang Lian really knocks on the door tomorrow, alarms the emperor, and summons them to do a pen, then it will be the time for his ancestor to come forward.
It's not a good idea to show your attitude now.
After all, everyone in the palace knows that Wei Liangchen can be powerful and prosperous in Jiangnan, relying on the favor of the emperor. And the emperor uses this person, but the words gold and silver. Whoever can get the emperor silver, the emperor will use him. People from outside the court can be impeached on this basis, but not inside the palace.
Moreover, this Wei Liangchen is also a person who can do things, and when he returned to Beijing a few days ago, he actually said that he had moved the emperor, and he went to visit the prisons one by one, and made a maritime cooperation plan. At present, many supervision and bureau have sent people to the south, and they have benefited a lot, and his ancestor really wants to give Wei Liangchen a stick, for fear that the supervision and bureau will have opinions on his ancestor.
Therefore, how to deal with this matter still depends on what the emperor says.
Not only Sun Xian had the same idea, but also several other eunuchs such as Qian Zhong, Wang Shun, Xiao Yu and others also had the same idea.
Because Wei Liangchen was nominally subordinate to his subordinates, Du Jinzhong had to contact everywhere to suppress the fire in Donglin.
At the same time, Liu Jixiang, the governor of the Imperial Horse Prison, also threw aside several "male pets" sent by Yuan Xinju, and asked Wang Yongshou, the eunuch of the prison army, to hurry up and prepare a horse for him, and be sure to return to Beijing before sunset.
After Princess Shouning came out of the mansion angrily, she did not enter the palace immediately, but went to her fourth aunt, fifth aunt and uncle, uncle and other relatives.
It didn't take long for the fourth princess, Princess Rui'an, and the fifth princess, Princess Yongning, the two eldest princesses who rarely entered the palace, to accompany their niece into the palace.
In the evening, there was a sudden envoy in the palace and went straight to Yang Lian's house in the chessboard street.
Yang Lian, who was discussing with Zuo Guangdou and others at home about knocking on the door tomorrow, was taken aback when he heard that the envoy had arrived, and hurriedly came out to greet him.
The envoy was a little eunuch, not very old, and it was the first time to lead a messenger out of the palace to announce the edict, so he looked very nervous. ”
Yang Lian hurriedly bowed.
The little eunuch cleared his voice and said, "Your Majesty said that Yang Lian is a person, and Your Majesty has heard of it." His Majesty said again, tell Yang Lian to listen carefully, Your Majesty has already seen your recital, and told you not to knock on the door again. ”
Yang Lian was stunned after hearing this: "How could Your Majesty know that I, Yang Lian, want to knock on the door!" ”
..........
It's been a bit uncomfortable for the past two days.
