Chapter 890. Program Progress.

……

The emperor's mind is unpredictable.

When Emperor Deqing made up his mind to suppress Zhao Junchen, he did not show any signs on the surface, but instead sent an edict to select some precious tributes and let them be sent to Zhao Junchen's mansion tomorrow morning and given to Zhao Junchen's wife Cui Qianxue, in order to show that he was loyal to Zhao Junchen.

That night, after Emperor Deqing left the imperial study, he went to sleep at Concubine Hui's residence.

The so-called "Hui Concubine" is Zhao Yinger, a woman of the Zhao family who was sent to the palace by Zhao Junchen.

After Zhao Yinger entered the palace, she soon got the favor of Emperor Deqing, and was given the rank of "Jieyu" on the same day, but in two months, she was further named "Hui Concubine", Emperor Deqing will go to her residence every three or five days to sleep, and from time to time will give treasures, food, and gorgeous clothes. I didn't encounter many difficulties.

However, Zhang Denai was the eunuch of Emperor Deqing, but he knew very well that Emperor Deqing's favor and favor to Zhao Yinger were just a disguise, in fact, Emperor Deqing did not like Zhao Yinger, because Zhao Yinger would always show a vulgar side unexpectedly, and Emperor Deqing's performance was just to appease Zhao Junchen.

said that after waiting for Emperor Deqing and Zhao Yinger to go to bed, Zhang De returned to his residence in the palace.

There, the palace maid Lin Jie had already prepared dinner and had been waiting for him for a long time.

In ancient times, the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace were trapped in the deep palace for a long time, the eunuchs had no wife, the palace maids had no husband, and could not contact the opposite sex, so it was naturally lonely and unbearable.

In addition to "food", there is also a relationship called "vegetable household", the so-called "vegetable household" is that after a long-term partnership between the palace maid and the eunuch, the two parties are already like husband and wife, and have stronger stability and sustainability than "food".

Zhang Denai is a long-term eunuch who has been with Emperor Deqing for a long time, although he does not control the real power of the inner court, but his status is extremely high, even the eunuchs in charge of the ceremonial eunuch and the imperial horse eunuch have to treat each other politely after seeing him, so he naturally has a stable "vegetable household" relationship in the palace.

And Zhang De's "vegetable household" is the palace maid Lin Jie.

Lin Jie is about in her early thirties, her appearance and figure are not outstanding, and she has a slightly depressed state between her eyebrows, but she has good facial features, fair skin, and a gentle and introverted temperament, but it is easy to make people feel good.

After seeing Zhang De return to the room, Lin Jie greeted him like a virtuous wife of an ordinary family, waiting for Zhang De to take off his clothes and shoes, wash his face and rinse his mouth.

Then, the two went to the table to have dinner together.

The dinner between the two was not very rich, but there were fish and meat, soup and fruit, which could be called exquisite, but because Zhang De came back too late, several dishes were already cold.

Lin Jie carefully picked a piece of fish meat and put it in Zhang De's bowl, and complained, "Why did you come back so late today?" You see, the steamed sea bass I deliberately prepared for you is already cold. ”

Seeing Lin Jie's considerate approach, a trace of satisfaction flashed in Zhang De's eyes.

In fact, Zhang De had fallen in love with Lin Jie a long time ago, but Lin Jie had always been reluctant to live with Zhang De until she suddenly changed her mind three months ago, and the two officially established a "vegetable household" relationship.

In the past three months, Zhang De has been extremely satisfied with Lin Jie's gentleness and thoughtfulness, and sometimes he even feels that he has become a normal man, but now he is quite inseparable from Lin Jie, and he is also defenseless when facing Lin Jie.

After hearing Lin Jie's complaints, Zhang De sighed helplessly and said, "What can I do, gentlemen?" I have been serving Your Majesty for more than 20 years, Your Majesty and he can't do without me, Your Majesty He summoned the important ministers of the court overnight today to discuss political affairs, and it has not ended until now, I can only accompany Your Majesty to serve...... Alas, my lords, I also know that you are waiting for me to be happy, so I took the opportunity of His Majesty's bedtime to rush over and eat with you, but tomorrow I will still be on duty, and I will rush back after eating...... If Your Majesty suddenly tells me to do something, and I am not there to accompany me, I may cause some trouble...... Your Majesty, he's in a bad mood during this time, so it's better not to cause this trouble! ”

After hearing Zhang De's words, a trace of curiosity flashed on Lin Jie's face, and he asked, "Your Majesty summoned important ministers to talk overnight?" Could it be that something big happened in the previous dynasty? Why is Your Majesty in a bad mood? ”

It stands to reason that these things involve the secrets of the imperial court, and Zhang De should not talk about them to Lin Jie, but now Zhang De has already lost his guard when facing Lin Jie, so he has nothing to hide, and said: "What else can it be?" It is that Zhao Junchen, the head of the household, has been restless since he left Beijing, and he always wants to cause some trouble, and now he is boasting that Haikou wants to completely annihilate the Mongolian coalition army, and even lead the army to recover the Hetao, His Majesty and several ministers of the previous dynasty have discussed for a long time because of this matter! ”

After a pause, Zhang De said again: "As for the reason why Your Majesty is unhappy, it is also because of Zhao Junchen!" You should have heard that Zhao Junchen did a lot of important things after leaving Beijing this time, preventing the cowardly peace of the governors of the northwest, and stabilizing the northwest frontier in a short period of time...... How much skill does it take to do this? How strong is the wrist? When you think about it, it's terrifying! But when Zhao Junchen was still in the capital, how could he have shown the ability of these methods? Obviously, he has been hiding clumsily in front of His Majesty, deliberately hiding it from His Majesty, and His Majesty was naturally unhappy after he found out that Zhao Junchen had been fooling himself all along! …… Hey, just wait and see, after Zhao Junchen returns to Beijing, His Majesty will definitely try to rectify him! ”

Speaking of this, Zhang De's brows were furrowed, and his expression was full of entanglement: "Alas, in fact, I am in a dilemma now because of this matter!" You also know that I have received a lot of benefits from Zhao Junchen on weekdays, and now that His Majesty is planning to deal with him, it is also appropriate to report to him! But I am an old man next to His Majesty, and naturally I know what things can be leaked and what things cannot be leaked, and His Majesty's plan to deal with Zhao Junchen's matter must not be leaked, in the past year, how many eunuchs has Your Majesty killed because of the leakage of news around him? …… It's just that this Zhao Junchen is not easy to mess with, every time the inner court receives money and does not provide him with news, he will be violently retaliated against, and several times he almost caused the master of ceremonies to be purged, if I hide this news from him, I am afraid that it will also lead to revenge afterwards......"

After speaking, Zhang De shook his head and said, "Alas, I am in a dilemma!" What a dilemma! ”

Lin Jie's eyes flickered slightly, and he sandwiched a piece of fish meat for Zhang De again, and said: "Your man's affairs, I don't have any ideas as a woman, but I think this kind of thing still depends on the current situation, if Your Majesty's means of dealing with Zhao Junchen are more subtle and clever, Zhao Junchen will definitely not be able to detect it in a short time, and sooner or later he will fall a big heel, so Xianggong, you might as well hide this matter for Your Majesty, Zhao Junchen may not have the ability to retaliate after he falls, But if His Majesty's means of dealing with Zhao Junchen are more intense and obvious, Zhao Junchen will soon be able to perceive His Majesty's intentions, and you might as well be a favor and leak the news to him. ”

After hearing Lin Jie's suggestion, Zhang De's mood became more and more happy.

It's not that Lin Jie's suggestion is ingenious, in fact, Zhang De can also think of this without Lin Jie's suggestion, mainly because Lin Jie called Zhang De "man" and "Xianggong", which just scratched Zhang De's itch.

So, Zhang De nodded again and again, expressed his appreciation for Lin Jie's suggestion, and by the way, revealed to Lin Jie a few of Emperor Deqing's intentions for Zhao Junchen tonight.

During the conversation, the two had already finished dinner, and then Zhang De and Lin Jie left the room in a hurry after a while, and continued to serve Emperor Deqing.

said that after Zhang De left, Lin Jie cleaned up the room a little, and then did not go to bed, but sat at the table and waited for something.

Soon after, the door was pushed open again, and an older palace maid entered the room, and Lin Jie hurriedly got up to greet him after seeing this person appear.

The elder palace maid walked in front of Lin Jie, but she made a strange gesture, and then said with a solemn face: "Daozun is merciful, and help the world!" ”

Lin Jie also made a strange gesture, and said with a reverent expression: "Daozun is merciful, and the world is helped!" ”

Then, the elder palace maid asked, "Lin Jie, did Zhang De reveal any useful news to you tonight?" ”

*

At the same time that Zhao Junchen's sixth copy was sent to the capital, a secret letter from Zhao Junchen was also sent to Zhao's mansion at the same time.

Then, in order to complete several instructions in Zhao Junchen's secret letter, Fang Ru was busy all night without sleeping.

Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, Fang Ru's body was inevitably a little sleepy, but his spirit was good, and his mind was still clear.

In fact, Fang Ru liked this feeling of being busy for Zhao Junchen very much, which made her feel extremely fulfilled, especially Zhao Junchen's many plans not only bypassed those "Zhao Party" officials, but also concealed from his legitimate wife Cui Qianxue, but they were all entrusted to Fang Ru to be responsible, which made Fang Ru feel Zhao Junchen's incomparable trust in him, and he was full of enthusiasm when he was doing things, even if he didn't sleep all night, he didn't feel tired at all.

"According to Xianggong's speculation, after His Majesty received the sixth copy of Xianggong's note, if he did not agree to Xianggong's plan to recover the Hetao, it would be fine, once His Majesty agreed to Xianggong's plan, he would inevitably be jealous of Xianggong, and he would definitely secretly suppress Xianggong's power and influence, but he had to guard against it......

…… Now it is impossible to know Your Majesty's specific means, but Xianggong thinks that Your Majesty will definitely use Liang Fuchen to divide his own credit, this matter must be prepared in advance, Xianggong He risked his life and fortunately harvested the merits, how can he easily let people share half of it? It is necessary to build momentum for the prime minister in advance before His Majesty makes a move, so that the government and the opposition officials and people can fully understand the truth of the matter......

…… Well, Xianggong has been secretly controlling famous storytellers everywhere in the past, and I thought it was a waste of effort at the time, but now it can be used...... Cui Qianxue's grandfather has some influence in Qingliu, and he can also use his connections to justify Xianggong......"

While thinking in secret, Fang Ru held a pen and wrote the words "storyteller" and "Cui Mian" on a piece of letterhead.

On this letterhead, there were already a lot of handwriting densely written, all of which were what Fang Ru needed to do next.

After putting down the pen, Fang Ru continued to think: "At the beginning, Xianggong used Guo Tang's collection of poems to provoke His Majesty's anger and secretly promote a literary disaster...... As long as this cultural disaster is used properly, it will be able to match the timing of Xianggong's plan......"

Thinking of this, Fang Ru took a pen and wrote the word "Wencao" on the paper again.

And just as Fang Ru continued to think, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

Then, Fang Ru's cronies and maidservant Xiaobi entered the room, handed Fang Ru a secret letter, and said, "Madam, this is news from Tongji Temple, related to the palace. ”

Fang Ru opened it after receiving the secret letter, and soon a smile appeared on his face, and his apricot eyes, which were originally slightly blank because of exhaustion, gradually brightened, and said: "I really didn't intend to insert willows and willows, but I didn't expect the information of Tongji Temple to be so timely!" I was worried that I didn't know how His Majesty would deal with Xianggong, but I didn't expect to receive the news so quickly...... It is really the most correct thing to let Tongji Temple enter the palace to develop believers, and it will be of great use so soon! ”

It turned out that as part of the plan to infiltrate the inner court, Zhao Junchen sent Li Ruan into the palace at the same time, and also took the opportunity to insert many eyeliners and spies into the palace together.

And Tongji Temple, as the largest intelligence network in Zhao Junchen's hands, is naturally involved in this matter.

Zhao Junchen originally expected the Tongji Temple to develop some believers in the officialdom, and it was a good result to develop the people around those important ministers and nobles into believers, but because the foundation of the Tongji Temple is still shallow, the progress of this plan has been relatively slow, but who would have thought that after these believers of the Tongji Temple entered the palace, they found the right direction by mistake, and the development was beyond imagination!

The eunuchs in the palace are all disabled, and most of the palace maids are depressed, they have been locked in the deep palace for most of their lives, with no support or landing, and they need faith sustenance the most, and the power of Tongji Temple is naturally like a fish in water in this environment, and soon developed a large number of believers!

And Zhang De's "vegetable household" Lin Jie is one of them!

Therefore, through this relationship, the intelligence network of Tongji Temple quickly got some plans from Emperor Deqing, and they were sent to Fang Ru's hands!

Such a situation can be described as an unexpected joy, and Fang Ru is naturally a little happy.

However, not long after being happy, Fang Ru was a little worried again.

In the final analysis, although Fang Ru is a shrewd and capable woman, her vision and means are not very clever! Now she has obtained an extremely critical piece of information, but how to use this information to maximize the interests of Zhao Junchen, she has no idea for a while.

And just as Fang Ru was frowning and secretly thinking, another female butler of the Zhao Mansion entered the room.

After the housekeeper entered the room, her expression was faintly fearful, as if she was worried that Fang Ru would be angry with herself, and said in a low voice: "Mrs. Ruyi...... 'that person' has returned home!" ”
