Zihan and I waited outside for an hour. Only then did I see the little princess come back dejected. I stepped forward and asked, "How is the princess?" Did you see the big turtle?"

"Master Lan. Not seen. The celebrant went and found me. It is said that the big turtle has been dead for more than a month. Because of what serious internal injuries. It is said that the bodies were cremated. I don't believe it. They took me to the place where he had been staying. Looks like it's been a long time since anyone stays. Master Lan, you see what to do. Do you want to go to your father?"

"It seems that this matter will not work without looking for the emperor. In the palace. The man disappeared in broad daylight. That's a big deal."

"Oh well. Let's go to the Father. Master Lan, come with me."

"Yes. I'll go too. It just so happened that I also witnessed the whole process of the man coming to call Xiao Guizi."

The little eunuch who guarded the door called out the eunuchs of the palanquin. The little princess sits in a sedan chair. Let's go to the Qianqing Palace. Arrived at the Qianqing Palace. The guard at the gate saw that the little princess had come. Go to the gate of the main hall and report it to the eunuch who guards the door.

After a while, the eunuch will come out. Said that the emperor let the little princess in. Gong Xiaoli and I also followed the princess into the Qianqing Palace. The emperor is still looking at the excerpt on the dragon case. I just didn't see where Chen Jiu was. I didn't see Su Si who went to deliver the decree last time. It seems that the emperor's problems have changed a lot. I heard them say that the emperor went to pamper those concubines almost every day. Almost ignore the government. Now the problem has changed a lot. I haven't found a woman in my last few years. It's all one person looking at the excerpts.

The little princess gave the emperor a salute. I, a foreign minister, will kneel. I also knelt down and shouted, "Weichen Lan Yunjie knocks on the emperor. Long live the emperor, long live, long live."

The emperor put down the fold in his hand. Looking at me and the little princess, she asked, "Why are you here together today. Isn't Landa's vacation still unexpired?"

"The Emperor is like this. Today I accompanied Miss Wei into the palace to see the princess. Don't want to encounter a strange thing. So I came with the princess to see your emperor. I want to tell the emperor about this."

"O. What a strange thing. Tell me about it."

The little princess was the first to answer: "Father. The chief eunuch in my palace, the little nobleman, is gone. I was called away, and I haven't come back yet."

"And this thing. Chen Jiu. Let him come to me."

A little eunuch next to the emperor said, "Long live the Emperor. Mr. Chen also went out for an hour. It's possible to be on the East Factory's side. I'll call him."

"Okay. Go and call him back. Let's just say that I have something urgent to find him."

The eunuch went out to find Chen Jiu. Or he commanded me and the little princess to sit down. After sitting down. The emperor asked me, "Lord Lan. How's that in mind? The excerpt is not written. Hand it over early for me to see."

"Your Majesty. The minister is still writing. Wait two days can not. Stuff with a lot of details inside. Wechen still has to scrutinize it."

"Okay. Then in a few days. It's a big deal. I won't force you. It's okay to write it all at once. Save it and add it later. And also. Have you received my will for you?"

"Thank you for your kindness. Wechen received. It's just that the minister is still so young. Being a waiter is afraid to make people gossip. Said that the minister is the minister of luck. Yesterday I went to the Ministry of Officials to get an official certificate and an official seal. Master Fu of the Ministry of Officials. Also said. Now there is a squire in the household. I don't have an official seal now. Mr. Fu went to ask the senior of the cabinet. Let's see what to do."

"It's my fault. The Cabinet has not yet been notified. As for the household side, you don't have to go to work. So don't move the squire over there. You'll do your job for me from now on. Don't manage the household department and the cabinet. As for the official seal, it is a must. I'll tell you about it. Don't be afraid of being gossiped about in the future. Afraid of what. I've got you covered. You're in good hands. I've got this done. I will also promote you. Those who are faithful to me. I will not be stingy with my position."

"Your Majesty. Wechen will definitely be loyal to the errand. Live up to the emperor's trust. It's just that I'm a waiter who runs an errand. Do you want to go to the household department too?"

"You don't have to go to the household department for this. You're going to have three days off to go. I'll arrange it then. Have you figured out the staffing?"

"Your Majesty. Staffing Wechen also has preliminary plans. It's just that Wechen are afraid that they will bring bureaucratic habits into it. Is it possible for Weichen to choose personnel by himself?"

"You can have your own pick. But where are you going to pick from?"

"Your Majesty. Wechen wants to go to the Guozi Prison to choose. There are all scholars who have never been through officialdom. Less social experience. Didn't experience officialdom. Most of them are simple. After a simple training from Wechen. You can take on this responsibility."

The little princess on the side looked at us like a book from heaven. Because the emperor and I have never talked about the royal silver number. So she asked curiously, "Father, what are you talking about with Master Lan. I don't understand a word."

"This is a major event in the imperial court. Small children don't ask too much. Master Lan will tell you later."

The little princess pouted again and stopped talking.

The emperor listened to me and went to the country to select talents. After thinking about it, he said, "I'm afraid it's difficult. They are simple though. But I don't have any experience with money and food. And the current readers. They are all proud of their advancement to the imperial examination. They come to you. What kind of name do I give them? Why don't you want an official rank?"

"The emperor wants to go to the ministry to select a few officials who are honest and have experience in money and food to help me. And then. Then go to Taixue and select too many students. As for the official rank, I think it's still up to the emperor to decide."

"Okay. Think about it again. Then don't be idle these days. Let's go to the ministry first to see if there are any suitable officials. I'll write you a note to Master Fu from the ministry. You can just go and give it to him."

"The emperor's ministers still have something to ask for."

"What's the matter. Tell me about it."

"Your Majesty. Wechen has a good friend. Also a reader. I entered Beijing this year to prepare for next year's exam. I want him to study in the country. By the way, I will choose some decent students for Wechen. Because. Wechen can't go to Guozijian. I'm afraid that what they recommend is not suitable. That's why Wechen made this decision."

"Yes. You will go directly to Zhang Juzheng and Master Zhang later. Just tell him it's my orders."

The emperor's voice just fell. Chen Jiu hurried in from outside. Face covered with sweat. The eunuch who went to call him was also left behind by him. Chen Jiu quickly came to the emperor and knelt down: "The slave has seen the emperor. I don't know what the emperor summoned the minions."

"Chen Jiu. The steward of the princess's palace is gone. You send someone to find out what's going on."

"The emperor's servant still has something to say. Can you retreat left and right? Landan can be here."

"What is so mysterious? All right. You all go down. Don't come in without a greeting."

The little eunuchs and palace maids who were waiting for the emperor withdrew from the main hall. The emperor looked at the little princess sitting like a mountain again and said, "What are you still doing here. Go back to the palace and wait."

The little princess is a curious person. Don't want to go now. After thinking about it, let's listen to what Chen Jiu has to say. Look at what the emperor said. This is very reluctant to stand up and retire.

Chen Jiu looked at it and saw that there was no one anymore. Only then did he say: "Your Majesty. It's not just the princess's palace manager who is missing. The cronies of the ministers who were transferred from outside. It's gone. They all said they had been called to the celebrant of ceremonies. But the servant went to the celebrant and asked. I haven't seen them. The minions are arranging for the people of the East Factory to search around the palace."

When the emperor heard this, he was furious. Slapping the table and snorting, he shouted, "Bold. Who dares to behave so recklessly in the palace? Do you still take me, the emperor, in your eyes? Chen Jiu, you go and send someone to call Feng Bao and the eunuch Bingbi of the celebrant to me. I'll see what they say."

Chen Jiu went out again to arrange for the eunuch to call Feng Bao and the eunuch Wang Qiang. The emperor's face is not very good. It looks like I'm really angry. There are not many times when the emperor is angry. The character is relatively soft. But after all, he is the king of a country. Now this is happening in the palace. There's still a little bit of security here. Let anyone be angry too.

After Chen Jiu arranged for the eunuch to leave. Back to the dragon case. One said: "The emperor has a new situation. I sent someone from Zhang Guifei where to say. Someone tried to enter the palace last night. was found out so ran away. I don't think it's safe for Zhang Guifei to be anywhere. Isn't it time to transfer Zhang Guifei?"

"And this thing. It seems that it is not possible to grasp it fiercely in this palace. How are you doing with the East Factory now?"

"Your Majesty. The minions over there in the east factory have just taken over. This doesn't bring in a few minions from outside. But it's only been a few days. They disappeared en masse. The minions didn't dare touch them anymore. Maybe one day the minions will be killed by them. It doesn't matter if the minion is dead. I'm afraid that no one will take care of Long Live Lord. There are too many villains in the palace now. The minions are really worried."

"Okay, I'll arrange it. You're ready to put things in order. Don't worry about me backing you up. I'll see if they're in charge or I'm in charge in this house. If you don't give them some color, you won't be able to do it."

Watch the two of them talk. I realized that I underestimated Feng Bao's strength. How could this Feng Bao give up the power in his hand like this? Those few of Chen's cronies. It looks like he's done as a substitute for the dead. They didn't dare to touch Chen Jiu. But not necessarily people who dare not touch him. It's not something outsiders can do. It was nice to help them catch that bunch last time. This time it's up to Chen Jiu to be himself.

I'm cranky myself. The emperor asked, "Lord Lan. You see how this matter is handled. Who's behind it?"

I was shocked. The emperor asked me what this means. Does he know that I gave Chen Jiu an idea? It's impossible. Chen won't go out for a long time. That if you say it. I'm accused of colluding with an internal official.

Now since the emperor asks so. I can't help it. I had to answer: "The emperor's ministers don't know either. It's too complicated in the palace. Wechen has only been here for a short time. I really don't understand the things in it. But it's easy to deal with. As long as Mr. Chen has mastered the East Factory. No one would dare to do that. I think this matter is still investigated from the east factory. Now the priority is to seal the palace gate first. They can't be allowed to take people out."
