Chapter 604: Why is it so gracious
(Everybody, let's see you in this chapter!!) )
After entering the palace, it was not suitable for too many people to gather, so Chen Xiaoting dismissed the others and only let Wang Zhongde and Niu Jingyun follow.
Obviously, in this change of deputy thousand households, Wang Zhongde and Niu Jingyun stood out among the hundreds of households.
After the three of them entered the palace, under the leadership of two subordinates, Chen Xiaoting became familiar with the palace.
As the residence of the Son of Heaven, the palace is the face of the imperial court, and it is only one word in Chen Xiaoting's eyes, which is magnificent and extraordinary.
They have full right of way in the outer court, and even the deepest can go to the emperor's Yuxu Palace, which is already the residence of the Yongzhi Emperor and the core of the real Ming Dynasty.
Chen Xiaoting had seen the first few halls, but when he came to the outside of the Jade Void Palace, he couldn't help but feel amazed.
Needless to say, there is only one feeling from the pavement, the supreme dignity of the emperor himself.
At this moment, only to hear a sound of footsteps ringing in his ears, Chen Xiaoting looked over and saw a group of people coming in the distance.
Looking at the mighty team of flags in the distance, Wang Zhongde said: "It's the emperor who has returned to the palace!" ”
After saying this, Wang Zhongde held down the saber in one hand and knelt on one knee, and Niu Jingyun did the same.
Looking at it again, the guards and the generals of the Jinyi Guard who were waiting on both sides of the palace road knelt on one knee after the accident.
So Chen Xiaoting did the same, and knelt on the ground honestly.
The dragon chariot gradually approached, and the emperor himself sat in the sedan chair, and Chen Xiaoting lowered his head and couldn't see the emperor's face clearly.
No one can afford to be charged with dereliction of honor in front of the king, so even if he is curious in his heart, Chen Xiaoting honestly bows his head.
At this time, Yu Peizhong, who was following Long Yuan's side, saw Chen Xiaoting kneeling on the side.
Immediately, Long Yuan turned into the gate of the Jade Void Palace, and Chen Xiaoting and the others all got up.
"My lord, when the emperor comes back at this time every day, he goes to see Concubine Zheng Guiniang!" Niu Jingyun on the side whispered.
Although this is a well-known thing, it is a royal private matter after all, so Niu Jingyun will remind him carefully.
"Concubine Zheng? I remember that there is still a jade concubine in the palace, right? Chen Xiaoting asked casually.
Wang Zhongde said: "My lord, Concubine Zheng Guifei has been favored for more than ten years, but it is not comparable to Concubine Yu, let alone ...... The Jade Concubine has now fallen out of favor! ”
These words, in fact, Wang Zhongde will not say to outsiders, and it is taboo to say these palace things.
But he finally got closer to Chen Xiaoting, and naturally he had to grasp it well at this time, so he was so "open-mouthed".
Concubine Yu fell out of favor, which Chen Xiaoting was not surprised, and now he was even more curious about why that Concubine Zheng had let the emperor favor him for more than ten years
On the other side, Emperor Yongzhi, supported by Yu Peizhong, slowly stepped off the sedan chair.
It is only when standing that others can see the weakness of the emperor himself, which is a fact that cannot be changed by cultivating the Dao and cultivating the Xuan.
After slowly entering the palace, it was only a few steps before the emperor himself became out of breath.
"Your Majesty, why don't you call someone to come and carry you in?" Yu Peizhong said with heartache.
He is Emperor Yongzhi's playmate since childhood, and there is still friendship between him and the emperor, which is why he is so sad at this time.
"I'm not at the point where I can't walk yet!" Zhu Yujun shook his head.
Because of the emperor's own habits, there was not a single eunuch or maid in the palace at this time, and only after Zhu Yujun sat down, he would let people come in to serve.
In the matter of his physical condition, Zhu Yujun can be said to have tried his best to conceal it.
Of course, he has to hide it, and now the party competition in the court is fierce, and the position of the prince is still being debated.
Internal discord is enough, outside the imperial court, there is also the danger of the Hu people in the northwest, and there is the danger of rebellion in the southeast.
In such a situation of internal and external troubles, the safety of the court situation is tied to the emperor, so Zhu Yujun must be able to hold on.
So the master and servant walked slowly in the palace, and at this time Zhu Yujun couldn't help but lament a little, he was the lord of the world, but in the end there was only a eunuch to accompany him.
"Your Majesty, the slave maid just saw that the deputy Qianhu of the Yiluan Division has been replaced......"
Although he is sad in his heart, Zhu Yujun is always a calm, even ruthless person.
I only heard him ask in a deep voice, "What do you want to say?" ”
is also an old master and servant, Yu Peizhong was not worried about saying the wrong thing at this time, but asked: "What the slave doesn't understand is, why did you give him such grace Your Majesty?" ”
"This person is not from a noble background, and he has been in the capital for a short time, and the grade is inevitably too light!"
Speaking of this, Yu Peizhong said helplessly again: "This ...... Let the slave and maid really can't figure it out! ”
The emperor stopped, glanced at Yu Peizhong, and then said in a deep voice: "Do you really not understand, or do you pretend not to understand?" ”
"Your Majesty, how dare the slave hide in front of you!"
"If it's not hidden, then why don't you report the fact that the post station was slaughtered by the White Lotus Sect?" Zhu Yujun said coldly.
Yu Peizhong's body trembled when he boarded, and finally replied cautiously: "Your Majesty, you have been heartbroken about the affairs of the treasury recently, slave maid...... Don't dare to bother you with these little things! ”
"The whole post station was slaughtered, this is a killing of officials, it is a rebellion...... Is this still a trifle? Zhu Yujun asked coldly, there were some things he knew better than Yu Peizhong.
So Yu Peizhong immediately knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the old slave is a capital crime!" ”
"Okay, don't pretend to be confused, get up!" Zhu Yujun still sneered.
His startled operation is really what makes people unable to grasp his thoughts, and Yu Peizhong, an old slave, was also frightened at this time.
What does it mean to be a companion like a tiger, Yu Peizhong found that he had been in the palace for decades, but he didn't really understand this truth.
Now that the emperor has opened the West Factory, many things can appear directly on the emperor's imperial case without going through his ceremonial supervisor.
Therefore, Yu Peizhong warned himself that no matter what he had in the future, all the news of Dongchang and Jinyiwei would have to be handed over.
It was precisely after this cleanup that Yu Peizhong's curiosity was dispelled, and he would not ask the emperor again why he promoted Chen Xiaoting.
In fact, one of Zhu Yujun's purposes in beating Yu Peizhong is also to avoid this question, because the answer is not enough for outsiders.
The east factory is unreliable, and the emperor himself can open the west factory, but the unreliability of Jinyiwei cannot be solved by setting up another guard.
Compared with the second factory in the east and west, the scale of Jinyiwei is much larger, so it can only be corrected.
And to make Jinyiwei reliable and easy to use, then it is best for the emperor himself to choose someone to control Jinyiwei from his position.
Now that those families in the capital control the Jinyiwei superstructure, Zhu Yujun no longer wants to endure this situation.
It just so happened that Chen Xiaoting came out, and after understanding, Zhu Yujun recognized his ability, plus he had no foundation in the capital, so Zhu Yujun raised him to this position.
As for the relationship between Chen Xiaoting and Shen Yue, Zhu Yujun is not worried about this, because he has a way to make these two opposed.
Therefore, as long as Chen Xiaoting shines again in his current position, then Zhu Yujun will definitely not hesitate to promote and reuse.
Of course, if Chen Xiaoting has a firm foothold in the capital, Zhu Yujun will also abandon him casually.
Because for Zhu Yujun, bringing Chen Xiaoting up was done casually, and it was used to suppress all forces within Jinyiwei.
If Chen Xiaoting himself is not tough enough, it means that he is not worth reusing, and he will naturally be abandoned.
The emperor is the biggest and strongest chess player, and all of this is just a matter of moving his fingers.
But these thoughts can't be told to outsiders, even confidants like Yu Peizhong.
This is the sorrow of being an emperor, that is a real lonely person, and his heart is only filled with coldness.
