Chapter 064: The Conspiracy of the Ten Permanent Servants
In the eunuch first auxiliary room in the palace of Luoyang City, all the twelve eunuchs in power gathered here to look at their eldest brother Zhang Rang, frowning and silent, everyone felt that the air was depressed.
After a while, Zhang Rang frowned and said: "Everyone, don't stop talking one by one, we have to face things, now let's talk about what we should do now?" We must give an explanation to the above no matter what, otherwise our good days will come to an end! ”
Zhao Zhong shook his head when he heard this: "Big brother, you don't need to be so nervous, although we haven't done this matter thoroughly, but after all, we have completely burned down the Nangong, even if the above is held accountable, it will not do anything to us, after all, what Emperor Ling said is to postpone repair, not not repair." And it is no longer possible to train people in the palace. ”
Eunuch Guo Sheng nodded when he heard this: "I agree with the second brother's point of view, let's burn down Nangong without a trace is the greatest credit!" As for repairing Nangong, as long as we mention this matter by the Ling Emperor's side from time to time in the future, the Ling Emperor will do it sooner or later! ”
Zhang Rang shook his head when he heard this: "It's too slow, you definitely can't wait!" The master wants the world to be in chaos, the last time Zhang Jiao and others failed, I have a lot of responsibility, although the master did not blame me, but I often feel guilty in my heart, I feel ashamed of the trust of the master, so we must do this well.
Ladies and gentlemen, the Master has given us such high status and glory, but he rarely gives us orders. It's so difficult to govern the world, is it so difficult to destroy the world? What if we can't even do this little thing? You say, "What else does the master want us to do?" Do you want to serve that waste of the Spirit Emperor all the time? Seriously, I've been dreaming of welcoming my master into the palace and working with you all to do things for my master. Therefore, the matter of repairing Nangong must not be delayed!
Listen to me, let's do this. After a while, the second brother, you go to propose to Your Majesty, and say that since Your Majesty agrees to repair the South Palace, the building materials must be collected in advance, otherwise Your Majesty will want to repair it in the future, but you will still be unable to do it. Let's see how Emperor Ling decides first. If the Spirit Emperor doesn't agree, I will advise on the side, as long as the Spirit Emperor agrees to collect building materials, it will be no different from agreeing to repair the South Palace, so that we can repay the merit to the master! ”
Zhao Zhong nodded after Zhang Rang finished speaking: "Wonderful! So wonderful! Big brother is right! We must not let our hosts down on us anymore and do just that. So how do we report to Master Jia? ”
Zhang Rang said with a straight face when he heard this: "Lord Jia's wisdom is unparalleled, of course we have to report truthfully, and report everything we have done to Lord Jia truthfully." No! Twelve, you go and report to Lord Jia in person now, inform Lord Jia of our decision, ask Lord Jia for instructions, and if Lord Jia agrees with our plan, we will implement it immediately after you return. ”
Eunuch Song Dian got up when he heard this and said, "Big brother, please rest assured, little brother will go to meet Master Jia now." ”
After Song Dian left, Zhang Rang frowned again; "Everyone, the matter of repairing the South Palace will be put aside for the time being, let's talk about it, what is the situation in this court today? How did the slave family feel that Situ Chen Tan, the servant Zhang Yan, and the Jingzhao Yin Liu Tao were weird? When did the three of them start wearing a pair of pants? Dare to openly join forces against us? Let's talk about what we think. ”
Zhao Zhong then went on to say the right thing; "Big brother, in the eyes of the younger brother, not only these three people have problems, but also the left and right car generals. And that Situ Chen Tan dared to take the opportunity to ask for credit for the person who killed Zhang Jiao's brothers, how could it be unreasonable! The younger brother felt that there was no need for Chen Tan, Situ, to do it anymore! ”
Zhang Rang shook his head slightly when he heard this: "It's still hard to say whether the left and right chariot generals have a connection with these three people, but Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun are the culprits who killed Zhang Jiao's brothers after all, and we must not let them live freely!" Find an opportunity to get rid of these two! ”
The eunuch Bi Lan nodded and said, "The eldest brother and the second brother are very right in their analysis!" However, the younger brother thinks that it is not in a hurry to get rid of the left and right car generals, and the elimination of Situ Chen Tan and the three must be implemented as soon as possible! Anyone in the court dares to openly oppose us, this is absolutely not allowed! Don't forget that the task given to us by our master is to control the court. ”
All the eunuchs nodded when they heard this, and Zhang Rang then said, "Then how do we get rid of these three people?" ”
Zhao Zhong frowned when he heard this: "It's easy to get rid of these three people who are very self-assured, we only need to give them a little ** handle, they will definitely frame us to Your Majesty, and then we will give them a hat of a yellow scarf to see how they live?" The Spirit Emperor now has a deep hatred for the Yellow Turban Party! ”
Zhang Rang nodded: "This plan is very good, then do it!" After the twelve returns, we will take further action according to Lord Jia's instructions, and now everyone will go to serve the Good Spirit Emperor first. ”
"Command!" The ten eunuchs stood up and saluted Zhang Rang, and then left one after another.
On the other hand, after Chen Tan returned home, he immediately contacted Chen Qun, Chen Qun was riding on a horse at this time while talking to Huang Zhong while rushing to the mountain city, he felt the heat from the emperor's divine order, and said to everyone that he was going to relieve himself, so he came to a big tree and turned his back to everyone and talked to Chen Tan: "Uncle, what is the ending of the early dynasty?" ”
Chen Tan frowned and said: "The ending is not very ideal, half happy and half sad. ”
Chen Qun smiled when he heard this: "Uncle, tell me quickly, my time is very short. ”
Chen Tan nodded and said: "Your Majesty only agreed to postpone the restoration of the South Palace, and did not promise not to repair the South Palace, and Your Majesty worshiped Zhu Jun as the general of the right chariot." ”
Chen Qun was overjoyed when he heard this: "Uncle, this is all good news?" What is there to worry about? ”
Chen Tan frowned and said, "My concern is that we haven't made any substantial progress, but we have exposed the relationship between all of us, and I suspect that the Ten Standing Servants have noticed us." ”
Hearing this, Chen Qun said with a straight face: "What's there to worry about? We were originally going to fight against them, and since we are standing in the open, let's come in the open! We've already won a game anyway. ”
Chen Tan nodded when he heard this: "Okay!" Then you are busy, hang up. ”
After Chen Qun and Chen Tan finished talking, they instantly felt in a good mood, Emperor Ling agreed to postpone the restoration of Nangong, then there will not be too many waves in the world for the time being, and Zhu Jun was promoted to the general of the right chariot, this is a great joy, and he should be happy.
Huang Zhong returned with a smile on his face when he saw Chen Qun peeing, and said with a smile: "If you kid wants to pee, go quickly, do you still need to hold it?" Look at you cool! ”
What Huang Zhong said was also what everyone was thinking at this time, and Chen Qun grinned when he heard this: "The master also sees that the apprentice is in a good mood?" Let's hurry up and head to the mountain city! I don't know if they came back. ”
Chen Qun was still kept in the dark at this time, he had no idea that there was an unusually large force that was trying his best to thwart him, and the Ten Standing Servants were all members of this force. He always thought that he was hiding in the shadows and planning everything, but he didn't know that everything he did was being watched by a pair of invisible eyes in the dark.
Chen Qun and his entourage were hurrying on the road, but the ten permanent servants on the side of the Luoyang Palace gathered together again, Song Dian looked at Zhang Rang's eyes and said, "Big brother, Lord Jia agrees with our strategy, let us advise Emperor Ling as soon as possible to collect the materials needed to build the South Palace." ”
After the eunuch Song Dian finished speaking, Zhang Rang and the others felt happy, and Zhang Rang quickly retracted his thoughts and smiled: "Brothers, if you can get the affirmation of Lord Jia, then the master's side must be fine!" However, we must not mess things up again, let's wait for the Spirit Emperor's nap to finish in the afternoon, and then start acting. ”
Song Dian waited for Zhang Rang to finish speaking and continued: "Big brother, Lord Jia also asked me to tell you that Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and Lu Zhi have been in contact with Situ Chen Tan, Taifu Zhang Yan and Jingzhao Yin Liu Tao respectively before. And Master Jia also said that you must be careful of that Chen Qun in the future, he is too close to Lu Zhi and others. ”
Zhang Rang bowed slightly when he heard this: "The slave family thinks that these people in the court today are acting too weird, and they never thought that they really came together in private!" Dare to spoil the good deeds of adults, the slave family sees that they are tired and crooked! And that Chen Qun, the slave family really underestimated him before, and dared to sabotage the master's plan, he really deserved to die! ”
Zhao Zhong squinted his eyes when he heard this: "Big brother, Chen Qun is just a little doll whose hair has not yet grown, don't worry, he will soon be exhausted to death by his kindness!" But if Lu Zhi's six people really join forces, the threat to us will be too great, and we must try to get rid of them one by one, so as to warn those who are ready to move! ”
Zhang Rang nodded: "Hmph!" This group of untouchables, give them a few days of good looks and start to jump! ”
Song Dian smiled slightly when he heard this: "Brothers, don't worry! Master Jia also told me that although the Yellow Turban Rebellion failed, the master will soon launch a second wave of riots, and we will soon receive good news. Lord Jia asked us to do our part well, gradually eradicate these six people according to the situation outside, there is no need to report to him everything, don't contact him for things that are not too important, he knows all about it by his own means, as for other things, we don't have to think about it too much, Lord Jia will secretly help us settle it, and we don't have to worry about that Chen Qun for the time being. ”
Hearing this, the Ten Standing Attendants all let out a long breath, Zhang Rang got up and smiled: "Okay, everyone understands what Master Jia means, then we will act immediately in the afternoon, and we must let Emperor Ling come according to our intentions." ”
In the afternoon, after Emperor Ling's nap, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong hurriedly took four little eunuchs to serve Emperor Ling. After Emperor Ling was all right, Zhao Zhong bowed to Emperor Ling and said: "Your Majesty, this morning the court agreed to postpone the repair of the South Palace, but the South Palace will have to be repaired sooner or later, and if you want to repair the South Palace, the building materials needed will not be able to be found in a short period of time. ”
Emperor Ling frowned when he heard this: "If you want to collect building materials, it will definitely be a waste of money and labor, and this matter is better for the time being." ”
Zhang Rang continued: "Your Majesty, the old slave also agreed to Zhao Zhong's proposal, if you only collect building materials, it will not be considered to build the South Palace, after all, Your Majesty said in the early dynasty that the restoration should be postponed, and it is really not good to see that it is dark on the other side of the South Palace." His Majesty only prepares, does not build, and the ministers of the DPRK and China have nothing to say. ”
Hearing this, Emperor Ling nodded: "Okay, I know that you are thinking about my face, so I will immediately draft an order and send officials from all states and counties to transport the timber needed for the construction of the Nangong to the capital as soon as possible." Let the Father be solely responsible for this matter. ”
"The old slave obeys!" Zhang Rang bowed to Emperor Ling.
Zhang Rangping rolled his eyes and continued: "Your Majesty, you just mentioned that collecting building materials will inevitably cost the people and money, and the old slave suddenly had a flash of inspiration after hearing this, and thought of a good idea for His Majesty, Your Majesty might as well let them raise money for the reconstruction of the South Palace according to the grades of various officials, so that they will no longer work and waste money." ”
Hearing this, the Spirit Emperor frowned and said, "It's not appropriate to do this, right?" ”
Zhang Rang shook his head when he heard this: "Your Majesty, which of those officials in the court is not fat!" Your Majesty should let them pay some money to build the palace, and they should think about Your Majesty as courtiers. ”
Emperor Ling thought that if he didn't do this, once the building materials for the construction of the Nangong were all together, then the next construction of the Nangong would definitely cost a huge amount of financial resources, and the Emperor Lingdi thought that Zhang Rang's proposal was good, and the Emperor Ling thought that he could indeed take this opportunity to see who was really thinking about him, so he nodded at the moment: "Okay, this matter is also up to the father, and the father is responsible for it." ”
"The old slave obeys the order, and the old slave should pay for His Majesty! Your Majesty, the old slave is willing to pay fifty gold for Your Majesty to build the South Palace. Zhang Rang bowed down to receive the order.
Zhao Zhong also hurriedly bowed down and said, "The old slave is also willing to pay fifty gold for His Majesty to build the South Palace." ”
"Hahaha...... I see your loyalty! Go down and run an errand for me! Emperor Ling laughed.
After Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong received the order, they bowed to Emperor Ling again and left.
