Before this, Xie Qian had not been home for three consecutive days, and now he was mentally exhausted and ready to go home. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When Xianzong died of illness, Xie Qian had no status in the court, and he didn't feel it so real at that time, but now that he was old and met Emperor Hongzhi who was critically ill, he felt extremely pressured, and he was exhausted overnight.

Li Dongyang and the others came out with Xie Qian, and even Liu Jian would no longer stay in the palace to wait.

Liu Jian said: "Binzhi is on duty at Wenyuan Pavilion, let Yu Qiao go home to rest, and wait for the night to be replaced." Qizhao went to Zhan Shifu and explained to the officials of the East Palace that the prince's studies should not be wasted in the past few days, and everything is as before! ”

The cabinet needs to be manned, and it is not unusual for Liu Jian to make arrangements as the first assistant, but he asked Li Dongyang to be on duty in the morning and go back to rest in the afternoon, which means that when Emperor Hongzhi wakes up and needs the important ministers to face the saints, Li Dongyang is likely to be in time.

Li Dongyang also listened to Liu Jian at this time, and after saluting, several people were about to leave, but Liu Jian left Xie Qian alone, as if he had something to explain.

Li Dongyang went to Wenyuan Pavilion, while Ma Wensheng, Zhang Sheng, and Liu Daxia went in the direction of leaving the palace.

Zhang Sheng wants to go to Zhan Shifu by the way, although the news of Emperor Hongzhi's "critical illness" has not been publicized, but last night several ministers entered the palace and did not come out all night, and there will always be gossip after daytime, and the ministers of the court must be spread loudly, Liu Jian let the East Palace speakers do everything as usual, which is to calm people's hearts.

Now we have to send a message: the prince is still the prince, and the emperor is fine.

Several people walked away, and Xie Qian looked at Liu Jian curiously.

Liu Jian sighed lightly: "Yu Qiao, go back and rest, enter the palace early in the afternoon, Your Majesty has a word, and I will explain something to you after resting!" ”

"Huh?"

Xie Qian was stunned, this was clearly not to let him go back to rest, but to let him stay in the palace.

The emperor said that you should go home and rest first, but immediately after resting, you will come to see me, you as a courtier can not help but know each other, stay up all night, and after going back, you will not be able to sleep for less than a morning, and you will definitely not wake up.

Instead of delaying on the road, it is better to stay in the palace and directly find a place to deal with it first, and when the emperor wakes up, he can directly face the saint when he hears the summons.

It is very inappropriate for the courtiers to stay in the inner garden of the palace, it is better to go to Wenyuan Pavilion, Xie Qian is not a day or two on night in the palace, there are a few pavilions there for the ministers to rest, very familiar.

"What Young Master Liu said is that he knows how to do it." Xie Qian saluted.

"Hmm."

Liu Jian nodded happily, among the few people who entered the palace, his health was the worst, and Li Dongyang had hemorrhoids over there and couldn't stand it, in fact, Liu Jian meant that he wanted Xie Qian to go over and be with Li Dongyang and take care of each other.

Liu Jian seems to be unkind and let Li Dongyang stay in the cabinet, but in fact, he took into account all aspects of the situation.

Xie Qian has no complaints, in extraordinary times, there is no need to worry about it at all, hello, hello, everyone, the matter is over in the past. Accompanied by the eunuchs, Xie Qian could only speed up his pace to catch up with Li Dongyang and go to Wenyuan Pavilion together.

……

……

On the other side, the Zhang brothers did not take the road from the noon gate to the Daming Gate when they left the palace, but went straight to the Xihua Gate, and they wanted to take the opportunity to meet someone.

The Zhang brothers did not enter the Fang Palace, and asked the eunuch on duty at the door to go in to pass the word, and soon, Zhang Yuandong slipped out, and it could be seen that he didn't want people to know that he had a connection with the Zhang brothers.

"Father-in-law Zhang, I haven't seen my body for many days and I am still so healthy?"

Zhang Yanling said in a tone that was neither yin nor yang.

When Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling, the two brothers, came out to meet people together, Zhang Yanling played the role of the talker, while Zhang Heling, as the elder brother, seemed calm and generous, not talking much, but it was very stressful as soon as he spoke.

Zhang Yuan hurriedly saluted: "I've seen two uncles." ”

In a word, it makes the Zhang brothers' faces ugly, they don't like to be called uncle at the moment, because it means that they are relatives, usually relatives are easy to provoke outsiders, especially the criticism of scholars, they themselves are not very careful, and they have done a lot of things to seize the house and bully men and women.

Zhang Yanling said coldly: "Father-in-law Zhang still calls Hou Ye better. ”

Zhang Yuan hurriedly changed his words with a smile, but he was ashamed for a while, he didn't like to hear others call him "father-in-law", he was castrated as a eunuch, mainly because of the Zhang brothers, although he was not sure that the masterminds behind the single-handedly pushing him into the palace must be the Zhang brothers.

"Two Hou masters, I don't know what is the important matter of finding a villain to come out today?" Zhang Yuan took out the modest flattery he had seen the Zhang brothers before, and asked with a smile.

Zhang Yanling glanced at his brother, and Zhang Heling said: "The prince has not come back yet, you may not know the situation of Kunning Palace, Your Majesty...... My health is not good, there was even a bad omen last night, and my condition only improved slightly after dawn......"

When Zhang Yuan heard the news, he was secretly happy in his heart.

For Zhang Yuan, the most hopeful thing is that Emperor Hongzhi dies and the crown prince ascends the throne, which means that he can soar, but when he heard that the emperor's condition improved, his heart sank.

Zhang Heling continued: "Your Majesty left an edict last night, ordering the three cabinet elders to be ministers of care. And in the inner garden, the eunuch Xiao Gonggong was promoted to the eunuch of the palm print, and led the ...... of the East Factory"

Zhang Yuan felt a sadness in his heart, in this palace, he was so small, almost no one noticed him, but these didn't seem to have much to do with him.

Zhang Yuan has not been in the palace for a long time, and he does not know much about the structure of the imperial court, but he is smart, and in his daily observation, he understands that his "kind", that is, among the eunuchs, the most powerful is the palm print eunuch of the twenty-four eunuchs, and the most beautiful of them is the palm print eunuch of the celebrant eunuch, but even if he gets the trust of the queen, the promotion of the celebrant in the palace is far away.

Whether it is his age or the number of years he has served in the palace, he is at a disadvantage, so he is not qualified to enter the celebrant at all without changing the dynasty.

Zhang Yuan said: "Villain, I don't understand the meaning of the two marquis. ”

Zhang Yanling laughed: "Father-in-law Zhang, our two brothers are arranging in the palace...... Ahem, there are not many eunuchs I know, Gonggong Zhang is one, if the crown prince ascends the throne, we naturally hope that someone can speak for us in the palace. ”

"And you, haha, you are the queen's person, that is, our person, when you entered the palace and was favored by the queen, it was also because of our recommendation, and in the future, ...... We need to be closer. ”

Zhang Yuan's heart sank, this means that the Zhang brothers want to promote him to the celebrant supervisor?

But Zhang Yuan then thought about it, even if the Zhang brothers had a place for him, they would not immediately transfer him to the ceremonial supervisor, but after the emperor died, now he stayed in the East Palace to take care of the prince, so that the benefits of the Zhang brothers could be maximized, and Emperor Hongzhi had not died, and the emperor would not arrange for a person like him who had no qualifications and prestige to enter the ceremonial eunuch.

But if the young prince ascends the throne, everything will be very different. (To be continued.) )
