Chapter 750: Audience
Everyone, the starting point and the QQ comment area, the author released the overall structure of this book Jinyiwei, if you are interested, you can take a look! )
Entering the palace with Jiang Yiyidao, Chen Xiaoting encountered many old departments of the Thousand Households in Beicheng.
At this time, he had been promoted to command, so he was greeted by people along the way, which can be described as a unique scenery.
So Jiang He is right, Chen Xiaoting is indeed promising.
Putting on the flying fish suit and walking in this imperial palace, the desire for power in Chen Xiaoting's heart was once again magnified.
When he was in Guangde, he thought that he could sit in hundreds of households, and when he sat in hundreds of households, he thought that he could wear flying fish suits.
Now that he's wearing the Flying Fish suit, ...... The position of the commander, why can't he think about it?
At this moment, Jiang Hecai slapped his head in front of him and said, "Ouch...... Forget about the big thing! ”
Then he turned around and said to Chen Xiaoting: "Lord Chen, the white fungus lotus seed soup for the emperor in the imperial dining room, I have to go and see if it is ready, so that I can send it to the emperor!" ”
Now that the weather is hot, if the soup is not delivered in time, the emperor will be angry and Jiang He will definitely not be able to eat and walk around.
"Father-in-law Jiang just goes, and he will wait outside the Yuxu Palace to be called!" Chen Xiaoting said with a smile.
Chen Xiaoting has been in the palace for more than a year, and he is naturally very familiar with the palace, so Jiang He left with confidence.
Walking alone, Chen Xiaoting still feels more relaxed, and occasionally he can meet the old department on the road and chat.
Just as Chen Xiaoting was walking in the palace road, he was suddenly stopped by a voice from behind: "Chen Xiao, it's been a long time!" ”
Without looking back, Chen Xiaoting knew who the owner of this voice was, so he turned around with a smile.
"See the Sixth Highness!" Chen Xiaoting bowed and said.
The man in front of him was Zhu Xiuyin, the sixth prince of the Ming Dynasty, the first heir to the throne when the emperor did not clearly establish the crown prince.
However, because the emperor favored Concubine Zheng Guifei and was told about the changes, Zhu Xiuyin's life was very difficult.
The eighth prince Zhu Xiulin has already been the king of Wu, Zhu Xiuyin has nothing so far, and it is really difficult to say whether the throne can fall on his head.
"You have a life-saving grace for me, no need to be polite!" Zhu Xiuyin hurriedly stepped forward and said.
But his close actions made Chen Xiaoting feel very embarrassed, and he really didn't want to get involved in the battle for the throne.
may be precisely because Zhu Xiuyin is so approachable, so he has won full support among the courtiers, so that the emperor will not be able to establish the eighth prince Zhu Xiulin as the emperor according to his own wishes.
In fact, Zhu Xiuyin said that Chen Xiaoting had a life-saving grace for him, which was really not a joke.
In February of the seventeenth year of Yongzhi, Huang Ting, as the eunuch of Yongxi Town, led a team to inspect the Yongxi Zhuwei Station, and was assassinated when he arrived at Taixiwei.
In that assassination, one of Huang Ting's attendants was seriously injured, and this person was rescued by Chen Xiaoting.
This attendant of the Huang Court was Zhu Xiuyin, the sixth prince who had gone out of Beijing, and he was ordered by the emperor to personally go to Yongxi to check the situation.
Originally, Chen Xiaoting would not have known about this matter, but when Zhu Xiuyin said it and Huang Ting testified against it, he couldn't help but not believe it.
But even with such a relationship, Chen Xiaoting still didn't want to get involved in the struggle between the princes, so he and Zhu Xiuyin were gentlemen's friends.
But Zhu Xiuyin has never given up on wooing him, compared with the arrogant and empty-eyed Zhu Xiulin, in fact, Chen Xiaoting recognizes Zhu Xiuyin more in his heart.
But these thoughts, he can only hold them firmly in his heart, who makes the emperor himself love Zhu Xiulin more!
"Your Highness, the emperor summoned his ministers to come over to see him, if His Highness has nothing important, Weichen will go over first!" Chen Xiaoting's deep voice said.
Zhu Xiuyin nodded, and then said, "It's okay, you just go!" ”
Looking at Chen Xiaoting's departing back, the smile on Zhu Xiuyin's face gradually became calmer.
Although the current situation is not in his favor, he has full confidence that he is the only one who will be on the throne of the Jade Void Palace.
The strong support of the courtiers, coupled with his extensive kindness, was enough for his father to make the right choice.
The current stalemate is just the last effort made by his father to save face.
On the other side, Chen Xiaoting came to the outside of the Yuxu Palace.
Originally, he thought that he would wait for a while, but the emperor summoned him directly.
When entering the main hall of the Jade Void Palace, Chen Xiaoting untied his saber, and then walked towards the Emperor's Qingxiu Retreat with his head held high.
"Chen Xiaoting, the commander of the Fu Division of Chenbei Town, knock long live my emperor!" Chen Xiaoting bowed and said.
At this time, the emperor on the couch opened his eyes, and the distance between him and Chen Xiaoting was ten steps away at this time.
But I heard Zhu Yujun ask: "In the past half a month, I have walked to Nanzhen Fusi, how do you feel?" ”
Faced with this question, Chen Xiaoting didn't know how to answer for a while, and the regular answer was that the emperor definitely didn't want to hear it.
"Returning to the saint, only enter and exit this way, so that Weichen can experience the deepest...... It is nothing more than the warmth and coldness of human feelings! Chen Xiaoting replied solemnly.
If the emperor wants to separate him from Shen Yue, then this answer is undoubtedly the best, and the emperor's expression at this time is indeed much better.
"If you are on an errand in Jinyiwei, you will inevitably be attacked, don't take it to heart!" Zhu Yujun personally appeased.
At this time, Chen Xiaoting could only kowtow again: "Weichen knows that this life is given by the emperor, and he must give everything in the future, share worries and solve problems for the emperor and the court, and only die!" ”
The words of loyalty and Chen Xiaoting's body language made Zhu Yujun on the couch very satisfied, and even had a rare smile on his face.
"I don't need you to die, I just need you to do my errand!" Zhu Yujun said indifferently, he would not be so excited because of Chen Xiaoting's words.
Then, Zhu Yujun waved his hand to the little eunuch not far away, who held a piece of music in both hands and walked quickly in front of Chen Xiaoting.
"Lord Chen, please!" The little eunuch said softly.
Only then did Chen Xiaoting straighten up, took the song from the little eunuch's hand, and spread it out under the emperor's eyes.
The author of the song is Wu Ruiguo, the current governor of Liangjiang, and it talks about the results of the assassination of the imperial tax supervisor.
The eunuch sent by the imperial court to inspect taxes was assassinated in Nan'an Mansion, the capital of Jiangnan, and the case was closed under the trial of the Jiangnan Inspectorate Yamen.
The cause of the case has been clearly investigated, and the murderer has committed suicide by taking poison, and the case has come to an end.
Seeing that Chen Xiaoting had finished reading it, Zhu Yujun said: "The tax supervisor sent by the imperial court was assassinated by a salt worker, do you say this case is so simple?" ”
The tax eunuch sent by the emperor from among the eunuchs in the palace went to Jiangnan to be the pomp of the Qincha, and a salt worker could be assassinated so easily.
The most bizarre thing is that the salt worker also committed suicide by taking poison after succeeding, which is even more bizarre.
didn't need Chen Xiaoting's answer, just listened to Zhu Yujun continue: "You know what the situation is in the land of the two rivers, and you want to find out about this matter...... I have to send someone from the capital! ”
"Not only that, the identity of the people sent to the land of the two rivers must be sufficient, otherwise they won't be able to suppress the officials over there!"
Speaking of this, Zhu Yujun said in a deep voice: "Therefore, I plan to hand over this errand to you, and I must bring the real culprit to justice, crack down on the profiteers and gentry who fight against the tax, and find out all the officials who harbor the profiteers and gentry!" ”
The last two sentences of the emperor's words are the real purpose of sending Chen Xiaoting to Jiangnan, and this errand is precisely the most difficult to do.
This is not a joke, cracking down on the collusion of local officials and gentry is not as simple as Chen Xiaoting fighting with the White Lotus Sect in Yongxi.
Those people even dared to kill the tax supervisor sent by the emperor, Chen Xiaoting, the new Qincha, didn't they dare to do it?
But at this time, Chen Xiaoting had no qualifications to refuse, so he told the emperor that he was willing to give up his life.
At this time, Chen Xiaoting really understood why the emperor would promote himself to command the affairs, it seems that he was prepared for this errand.
"Weichen Command!" Chen Xiaoting kowtowed and took over this hot errand.
Just at this moment, Jiang He, who went to the imperial study to urge the soup, rushed over, and the two little eunuchs behind him each carried a food box in their hands.
"Your Majesty, the chilled white fungus lotus seed soup is here!" Jiang He said as he took out a royal bowl carved with dragons and phoenixes from the food box.
After Zhu Yujun received it in his hand, he glanced at the cold air coming out of the bowl, and then glanced at Chen Xiaoting who was kowtowing not far away, and then said to Jiang He: "Give him this bowl!" ”
Jiang He was slightly stunned, and Chen Xiaoting's heart was even more shocked, if it weren't for his modern thinking, I am afraid that he would really be willing to smear the emperor's liver and brain.
After bringing the soup to Chen Xiaoting, Jiang He smiled slightly: "Chen Yanshi, this is the emperor's grace, don't you hurry up and thank you!" ”
"Weichen thank the emperor for his grace!" Chen Xiaoting kowtowed again.
