Chapter 575: Investigation
After discussing the details of the implementation with the little emperor, Jiang Ke finalized the final plan before leaving. He knew very well that although he was presiding over the suppression of the rebellion, he actually needed the support www.biquge.info of the courtiers and the military. In addition, through intensive contact in recent times, Jiang Ke found that the little emperor not only wanted to pacify the slang chaos, but had other plans, wanting to take the opportunity to rectify the government and change the current situation of slang and Han antagonism.
Jiang Ke knew that it was difficult to rely on a piece of paper to be a degraded official who had been reinstated, and it also required the coordination of His Majesty, so he had to inform the little emperor of every step of his actions, and listen to his opinions and accept the next step. Of course, if this is done, the credit must be one's own; But it failed, and the big black cauldron itself was also determined. But he believes that His Majesty's benevolence will not treat him badly, but first of all, he has to do things well.
Zhao Yu saw that Jiang Ke was busy taking off his clothes as soon as he went out, he didn't know how to wear them, but he could take them off, and he took off the court clothes on his body first, and drank a few cups of tea in a big gulp before he felt much better, and finally there was no heat stroke. And at this time, I felt hungry again, and even ordered someone to eat. After a while, a small yellow door came over with a food box, Su Lan took it out one by one with his hands and feet, and put it on the table, and then sent the chopsticks to His Majesty.
"Today's meal is good, and so are you!" Zhao Yu looked at the dishes on the table, handed back the towel that wiped his hands, and Su Lan said.
"Official, slaves don't dare!" Su Lan Shili said, but she also wondered in her heart that today's lunch was just a steamed pomfret, a plate of boiled shrimp, a plate of fried bean sprouts, a plate of cold cucumbers, and then a small pot of rice and a bowl of soup. In Qiongzhou, fish and shrimp are even cheaper than vegetables, and they are only 100 yuan, but His Majesty is very happy.
"What don't you dare, if it weren't for your cleverness to cover up the past, then Governor Jiang would definitely be suspicious!" Zhao Yu took the rice handed by Su Lan and said. He knew that as a monarch on the surface, he wanted to give his subjects a positive image, and if Jiang Ke knew that he secretly made someone kill Huang Cheng, it would inevitably lead to a great loss of his benevolent and righteous image, and at least it would leave a psychological shadow. So if it weren't for Su Lan's quick reaction, Su Xin's voice would have ruined his glorious image.
"The slaves and maids almost ruined the official family's major affairs today, please punish them!" Su Lan said.
"Hehe, you are almost bad, but it is frangipani who should be punished, and you should be rewarded!" Zhao Yu ate a piece of fish that Su Lan had removed from the thorns, and said with a smile.
"Official, slaves and maids don't dare to receive the reward, can they resist the fault of frangipani!" Su Lan said cautiously.
"Not allowed, meritorious service will be rewarded, and if there is a mistake, it will be punished, how can it be mixed up." Zhao Yu still said while eating.
"The official family, the slave knows that she is wrong, but Su Xin is still young, so please ask the official family to bypass her once!" Su Lan said with a anxious face, she knew very well that Su Xin had caused a lot of trouble this time, and it would be light to be expelled from the palace, and with the little emperor's 'ruthlessness', maybe she would be killed in court.
"Is she younger than me? As my close attendant, she should be cautious in her words and deeds, but she has lost her composure and inappropriate words, so that she is not suitable to stay by my side. Zhao Hao snorted coldly.
"The official family is angry, but ......" Su Lan saw that the little emperor was angry, and hurriedly saluted.
"Okay, don't talk about it anymore, I've lost my appetite!" Zhao Yu took a bite of rice and pointed at the plate of shrimp with chopsticks.
Su Lan knew that there was no hope of pleading, so she sighed secretly and picked up a shrimp with a hard shell peeled off and put it on His Majesty's plate. Zhao Yu picked up the shrimp and put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully, eating it very fragrant, you must know that these dishes are not worth a few dollars now, but they cost hundreds of yuan in the era when they came. And shrimp like this, which is similar to chopsticks, is no longer something that can be eaten with money, not to mention that this is cooked by the imperial kitchen, and the price will not be a problem to double several times.
"Where is your home and how old are you?" Zhao Yu ate for a while and suddenly felt that his current life was similar to when he was trapped in the lonely ship, and he didn't even have anyone to accompany him to eat, which made him feel lonely, so it's no wonder that someone on the other end can become an Internet celebrity when he eats live and eats. looked at the little beauty who was accompanying him, so he was unwilling to be lonely, so he found another word.
"The official family, the ancestral home of the slave maid is Kaifeng, and the ancestors of the family settled in Yangzhou after moving south. The slave is seventeen years old. Su Lan replied.
"Oh, it turns out that he is also from his hometown!" Zhao Yu nodded and said, "Then why did you go to Quanzhou again, what about your family?" ”
"The ancestor of the slave maid family was an official in the court, and then served as the prefect of Yangzhou, so he settled here. The father of the family was a three-year jinshi of Xianchun, and he was martyred in Shangcheng in the Jiangning Tong Sentence, and the two brothers were martyred in battle, and the mother committed suicide by throwing herself into a well when she heard the news, leaving only the slave and maid to be captured by the Tartars. Later, he was bought into slavery by the Pu family, and after the official family broke through Quanzhou, he was confiscated into the official. Su Lan replied.
"It turns out that you are also loyal and good, if you are willing, I can let you out of the palace!" Zhao Yu stopped and spoke.
"Thank you to the official family, the slave and maid have no family to rely on, and they have nowhere to stay after leaving the palace!" Su Lan smiled miserably, shook her head, and said.
"Since you are from a family of eunuchs, can you read and break words?" Zhao Hao asked again.
"The slave maid was enlightened at the age of four, and my father hired a tutor to teach our brothers and sisters to read, so we also knew a few words." Su Lan replied.
"What are you doing in Pufu?" Zhao Yu finished eating a bowl of rice, motioned for Su Lan to serve it to him, and asked.
"Back to Your Majesty, the slave maid was a rough maid in the first year of entering Pufu, and she did everything. Later, the steward found that the slave maid was rough and rhythmic, so he recommended him to be a maid in the middle hall, serving tea and water to visitors, and occasionally playing music to help the fun; Later, when the master saw that the slave and maid were cautious, he stayed in the study to serve the pen and ink. Su Lan said.
"No wonder you're so sensible, I see!" Zhao Hao has lived in Pufu for half a month, of course, he knows that the Pu family has thousands of slaves, and with the pickiness of that old thief, he will never let a maid serve in the middle hall casually, let alone stay as a personal maid. It must be a talent who has both color and connotation, and is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
"The official family, after that Su Xin is also loyal, his father died in the battle in Chaozhou, and please ask the official family to forgive his father's sin of lying for the sake of his country's loyalty!" Su Lan saw that the little emperor's face was full of sympathy, so he asked again.
"Hmm......" Zhao Yu pulled all the remaining dishes into the bowl, but he didn't eat them in a hurry, but said after a while, "You were born in an official eunuch, and you have been in the Pu family for many years, and you must have some insight in accompanying him to meet guests and discuss matters." How about I ask a question and forgive him if the answer is good? ”
"Official, please speak!" Su Lan straightened up and said solemnly......
