Chapter 123: The Fourth Man
"The pirates are flat, and Xiyi has removed an arm! After the imperial court exterminated the Liukou, it was just around the corner to recover Taiwan, I heard that Zheng Zhilong had gathered the people in Taiwan to build a city, and I decided to promote Zheng Zhilong to the commander of Taiwan's guard. Yang Su said decisively, with a serious expression that no one could refuse.
Seeing this, the ministers could only compromise, and with Wen Zhenmeng's experience, they didn't dare to confront Yang Su casually.
"Stand down!" Yang Su waved his hand to make all the ministers stand down.
The ministers saluted Yang Su and the queens of the two palaces one by one according to their positions, only when Xiao Ming saluted Zhang Yan, Zhang Yan nodded indifferently and praised, "Qing is sincere, this palace knows!" ”
Xiao Ming showed a trace of surprise on his face, but he didn't dare to delay, and as soon as he withdrew from the hall after saluting, he hurriedly found Cao Huachun and asked anxiously: "Please also ask Cao Gong to save me!" ”
Cao Huachun smiled and puzzled, "Lord Xiao has been promoted to three grades in a row in a few months, and now he is the secretary of Dali Temple, Lord Xiao's holy family is long, why do you say this!" ”
"Xiaguan has long admired Cao Gong's demeanor, but he didn't have the opportunity to talk to Cao Gong before, and Xia Guan is also loyal to the emperor, Cao Gong must save me!" Xiao Ming pulled Cao Huachun's sleeve and asked eagerly.
Hearing that sentence of loyalty to the emperor, the formulaic smile on Cao Huachun's face finally disappeared, and he looked at Xiao Ming with a sympathetic look and said, "Empress Yi'an has been in the palace for fifteen years, and she has always regarded Concubine Liu as her grandmother, and she has a close relationship!" Empress Yi'an never interfered in the court, but Fang Cai spoke for Concubine Liu in front of hundreds of officials, although Lord Xiao's move today was good-intentioned, but I am afraid that I will offend Queen Yi'an! ”
"The lower officials never thought that the emperor trusted the lower officials so much, and would promote the lower officials because of this!" Xiao Ming didn't dare to be disrespectful to Yang Su, but only explained slightly.
"The emperor does have a lot of trust in Lord Xiao!" Cao Huachun also nodded and sighed.
No matter what Xiao Ming's reputation is outside, who in the officialdom doesn't envy Xiao Ming's luck! Because of a limerick poem, he was named Hanlin, and then naturally became the country's son of the priest wine, and now because of the sad laughter, he was promoted to Dali Temple, which is simply a miracle in the world!
"I heard that Empress Yi'an is kind-hearted and generous?" Xiao Ming asked sideways.
"Queen Yi'an is indeed generous, both inside and outside the palace praise Queen Yi'an for her virtue and virtue, our family has never heard of Queen Yi'an losing her temper with her subordinates!" Cao Huachun said admiringly.
The most difficult thing for people to control is their temper, Queen Yi'an has been like a day for fifteen years, no matter who she treats, she has such an attitude, how not to let the people below admire.
"That's good, that's good!" Xiao Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, although he hugged the emperor's thigh, but Empress Yi'an, as the emperor's sister-in-law, was deeply respected by the emperor, and the emperor's ascension to the throne back then relied on Empress Yi'an to persuade the first emperor, with such kindness, how could he not care about Empress Yi'an's impression of him.
"Okay?" Cao Huachun screamed in surprise and looked at Xiao Ming with sympathy.
"The lower official is stupid, and he also asks Cao Gong to make it clear" Xiao Ming is about to cry!
"Although Empress Yi'an has been very good to her subordinates for so many years, she has been angry with three people, and Lord Xiao is the fourth!"
"Dare to ask Cao Gong, who are those three people?" Xiao Ming asked with a blank look.
"The first person is the Hakka family, if it weren't for the death of the first emperor, the Hakka family would have been killed by Empress Yi'an, and the second person is Wei Zhongxian, that day Wei Zhongxian Empress Yi'an once counted Wei Zhongxian's faults in front of Wei Zhongxian in front of the emperor!"
Xiao Ming wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a bitter smile: "Gong Cao, who is the third person?" ”
"The third person is my sixth brother Wang Chengen, who angered Queen Yi'an because of something a few days ago, and was scolded in public three times in a row within a few days, and suffered a lot! If it weren't for the scruples of the emperor, I would only be afraid of ......," Cao Huachun looked at Xiao Ming with an incomprehensible meaning.
"Prince, ahem!" Xiao Ming's face was pale and his heart was like ashes, Wang Chengen's status in the emperor's heart was far from being comparable to him, and he was so miserable by Empress Yi'an, if Empress Yi'an counted his mistakes to the emperor, wouldn't he be abandoned by the emperor!
If he is abandoned by the emperor, with these things he is doing now, he can only die!
"Prince, the harem generally doesn't take care of political affairs! This ......" Xiao Ming looked at Cao Huachun with a look of hope.
"Empress Yi'an is dignified and dignified, and she is an elder, and she is very respected by the emperor!"
Seeing Xiao Ming's expression in a trance, Cao Huachun comforted again: "However, it is true that Empress Yi'an has never interfered in political affairs, besides, Lord Xiao, you are also the emperor's person, don't worry too much, at most you will suffer some hardships!" ”
"Thank you Cao Gong for reminding me, Xia Guan understands! It is inconvenient for the lower officials in the palace to stay for a long time, so they will leave! Xiao Ming thanked Cao Huachun, although his expression was still extremely ugly, but he couldn't do anything about it, he could only hope that the emperor would continue to protect him!
"Let's send Lord Xiao out of the palace!" Cao Huachun smiled politely.
"Cao Gong stays, why bother Cao Gong to send it, Cao Gong's reminder today, the lower officials must remember it!" Xiao Ming saluted Cao Huachun gratefully.
"Lord Xiao is polite. There is no need to thank you, then Lord Xiao, you go slowly, our family will go back to serve the emperor, so I won't send you. Cao Huachun hurriedly dodged and did not accept Xiao Ming's salute.
When Xiao Ming walked out of the palace gate, Cao Huachun returned to the mourning hall and heard that the emperor was explaining to Empress Yi'an.
"Sister-in-law, Fang is what I want to find an opportunity to promote Xiao Ming, He Xiaoming has nothing to do with it, what he said should also be sincere, and there is no intention of speculation!" Yang Su understood that Zhang Yan cared about Concubine Liu very much, and hurriedly explained to Xiao Ming.
"Why does the emperor have to explain to me, Xiao Minggui is the secretary of Dali Temple, although I am the queen, I am just a woman! How dare you meddle in the affairs of the imperial court! Zhang Yan replied indifferently and unappreciatively.
Yang Su couldn't help but be a little inexplicable when she saw that Zhang Yan was angry, Concubine Liu died, Zhang Yan asked to be buried with the queen mother's ceremony, Yang Su agreed under pressure, but never thought that she would be annoyed by this little thing!
Yang Su secretly guessed in her heart that she had already discovered some clues, so her impression of herself had changed greatly?
But after thinking about it, there is absolutely no possibility that his identity will be revealed, as long as he does not expose his identity, no one can imagine that he will not only come back to life, but also cross over to Chongzhen and occupy the Ming Dynasty.
Just when Yang Su was at a loss, his heart suddenly moved, and Yang Su said to Empress Zhang Yanzhou, "Sister-in-law, queen, I still have some things to deal with, come over later!" ”
"The emperor is busy with state affairs, so he doesn't have to stay here! Here are me and Queen Zhou! Zhang Yan said politely.
Yang Su waved his hand without looking back, and left quickly with Cao Huachun, and as soon as he got out of Cining Palace and walked on the car, he instructed Cao Huachun, "I'm tired, I want to sleep for a while!" ”
