"Master, the inner chamberlain is here!"

When he heard the report of his subordinates, Zhang Xiong was preparing to leave for Lanzhou, and this time he wanted to personally open up business and trade exchanges with Liangzhou and deepen cooperation. But after hearing the report of the visitor, he stopped and looked puzzled.

"Why is Uncle here?"

The eunuch management body of the Tang Dynasty was called the Inner Servant Province, and there were two Inner Attendant Supervisors, from the third rank of the official, who was responsible for managing the entire Inner Servant Province.

However, at present, there is only one inner warden, that is Zhang Wei, and the other person is temporarily vacant, so the person who comes must be his uncle Zhang Wei.

But what is my uncle doing here?

Although he was puzzled, Zhang Xiong still hurriedly went out, and as soon as he got out of the gate, he saw his uncle trotting over in a hurry, and when he came closer, he drove the people around him away and grabbed Zhang Xiong's hand.

"Xiong'er, you put down what you are doing, go to the river immediately, and find your uncle Chengye."

"What's wrong with Uncle Chengye? My nephew went to see Uncle Chengye two months ago! Zhang Xiong didn't understand why his uncle looked panicked.

"Alas!"

Seeing that there was no one else around, Zhang Wei hurriedly told his nephew about the affairs in the palace.

Although Zhang Cheng, as his righteous son, is also one of the chamberlains, after all, his identity is sensitive and he is not suitable to go to the river, otherwise he will definitely attract the attention of many people. This matter is already sensitive, and if others know about it, they don't know how to attack him.

On the contrary, it is more appropriate to go as the nephew of the imperial merchant, because he is a businessman, it is normal to go to the river, and he is his own nephew, which is more reliable.

After listening to his uncle's words, Zhang Xiong realized the seriousness of the problem.

He didn't know much about the salt pond in the river, he just took salt from the salt pond in the river and sold it, which the emperor personally promised, and he was not afraid of others checking it.

But he didn't expect such a thing to happen to the salt pond in the river, if Zhang Chengye was not the salt envoy of the salt pond in the river, then no matter what happened, it would have nothing to do with their Zhang family.

But now it is different, Zhang Chengye is a salt envoy.

If it is because of this incident, His Majesty no longer believes in their Zhang family, what awaits them will be a catastrophe.

Don't look at Zhang Cheng now making a lot of money every year, but most of it is given to the royal family, but even so, this is a rare errand that many people ask for.

It can be said that even if Zhang Cheng is not an imperial businessman now, the money he earns is enough for him and his descendants to use for several generations, of course, don't spend it indiscriminately.

And the source of all this is Zhang Wei, and Zhang Wei relies on His Majesty's trust, and if he loses His Majesty's trust, not to mention the errand of the imperial businessman, there will be many other eunuchs and even courtiers who will fall into the ground.

Everything that is now may soon be gone.

After realizing the seriousness of the problem, Zhang Xiong directly gave up the idea of going to Lanzhou, it doesn't matter if he makes less money this time, as long as his uncle can not lose His Majesty's trust, there is no need to worry about making money.

"Uncle, don't worry, my nephew is ready to leave for the river, and I will definitely persuade Uncle Chengye to cooperate with Jinyiwei's investigation."

Zhang Wei was a little relieved, but as long as the matter was not settled, Zhang Wei would not be able to completely relax for a day.

"Xiong'er, it's inconvenient for Cheng'er to come forward in this matter, only rely on you. If we don't survive this hurdle, our Zhang family will be in danger, and today Your Majesty asked people to summon Ximen Junsui in front of Uncle Wei. Thinking of this, Zhang Wei had a thorn in his heart.

"What? Could it be that Your Majesty is so ruthless? Even if Uncle Chengye is at fault, His Majesty can't be so unkind. The young and vigorous Zhang Cheng was a little dissatisfied.

Zhang Wei was taken aback and scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about? If Your Majesty knows this, don't you know what the consequences will be? ”

"But it's easy for Your Majesty to do this, after all, uncle, you have also been with Your Majesty for many years。。。。。" Zhang Cheng was a little incomprehensible.

Zhang Wei shook his head and sighed, "Your Majesty naturally won't be so unkind, but Xiong'er, you forgot that there are two inner servants in the Inner Servant Province." ”

Zhang Xiong immediately understood what was going on, no matter what the end of this matter was, but His Majesty would also begin to divide power. It's not that His Majesty will alienate his uncle and their Zhang family because of this, but it may not be long before news comes that Ximen Jun will be the vacant chamberlain.

I can't blame others for this, and the vacant inner eunuch can't be empty all the time, but this matter has made His Majesty make a decision in advance.

No matter what happened to the salt pond in the river, Uncle Chengye's dereliction of duty could not be escaped.

。。。。。。

The matter of private salt did not spread, after all, this matter is also a hidden thing in the river, if it wasn't for the pervasive Jinyi Wei who found the clue, maybe even Li Ye wouldn't know.

"Commander, I heard that Gonggong Zhang, the inner chamberlain, has sent the imperial merchant Zhang Cheng to the river, I'm afraid it's a tip-off." Dong Lang was a little worried on the side.

Li Zhen said with a smile, "Don't worry, it won't affect the overall situation, the person we want to move is not Zhang Yanyan, but someone else." I think the other party is also aware of the seriousness of the matter, whether he is involved or not, if he can cooperate with us, our investigation will go more smoothly. ”

Dong Lang was still a little worried, "Wang Ke will definitely not be able to get out of the middle of the river, what if his dog jumps off the wall in a hurry?" He has an army in his hands, and although we Jinyi Wei also have our own soldiers, we are against the army. ”

Li Zhen smiled and didn't care, "If Wang Ke is honest, maybe the court won't move him, if he can't understand the situation, just give the court an excuse." Of course, this time, even if it has nothing to do with Wang Ke, you have to create some relationship, understand? ”

Dong Lang was stunned for a moment, thinking of Chang'an City behind him, he suddenly realized, and nodded like a chicken pecking rice, "The commander is wise, and the subordinate has been taught!" ”

Li Zhen shook his head, "If you enter the Jinyi Guard, don't think about anything else, we have only one duty, that is, to be loyal to Your Majesty, as long as it is Your Majesty's order, we must obey it." If you offend people or something, don't worry, there is a saying, not being hated by others is mediocrity, as long as there is His Majesty's sacred heart, don't take it to heart if you offend people in the world.

We are His Majesty's sword, and wherever His Majesty wants to cut, we must cut it without hesitation. ”

"Xia Guan understands!"

Li Zhen didn't know the consequences of staying in this position for a long time under the command of Jinyiwei, so he might be a cool official, and it was certain that he would offend many courtiers.

However, unlike other ministers, he is not a jinshi, and if he changes positions with his qualifications, he may not even be able to enter the cabinet.

Take the road of Jinyiwei, the fastest rise, as long as he does the things explained by the emperor and accumulates his qualifications, it will be easier to change to a better position in the future.

Li Zhen and his entourage did not go quietly, but made a big fanfare, and a group of hundreds of people, in the name of beauty, inspected the river on behalf of the Son of Heaven.

If Li Zhen is other positions, it may not be nothing, but he is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, which is a position that people avoid and avoid.

Li Zhen personally went out, it seems that something big happened in the river, but I don't know who was targeted by Jinyiwei.
