In the capital city of Luoyang in October, it was already frosty in the morning, the weather turned cold, and the streets were full of peddlers and pawns who were still running around with snot from the cold, and many people were already steaming.

Looking at all this upstairs, Hou Ye Zhao Zhong's eyes were faint, and even a little empty, after all, those people were too far away from him.

Within a hundred meters of Zhao's mansion, people passing by will take a detour, when did they become so majestic and make the people afraid?

He smiled self-deprecatingly, tightened the coat that the girl had handed him, and went downstairs.

Normally, Zhao Zhong does not have the habit of getting up early, especially after being promoted to the position of chief in a high position, he sleeps until three poles in the morning every day, unless the queen has something to find herself.

Obviously, Empress He didn't want Zhao Zhong, the chief manager of the harem, to appear in front of her, and she didn't make a sound for ten days and a half months, but took her mother and two elder brothers to the palace from time to time.

He wasn't worried at all about what the He family had, that one was prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the big deal was the crown prince or something.

As a eunuch of the Three Dynasties, Zhao Zhong knows his identity and status very well, and he knows very well what he should and can't touch.

Obviously, even if there is only one child alive at present, the emperor does not want to make a crown prince at this moment, is he afraid that his relatives will take advantage of this to take the throne? It's none of my business anyway.

Seeing off the Northern Expedition team that day, he has been observing, and it seems that both Jian Shuo himself and his own advice have obvious effects, and that kid has no arrogance.

According to the report of the next person, Jian Shuo has always been very low-key after Jian Tu was killed.

To put it bluntly, the replacement of eunuchs in each generation is bloody, and latecomers always have to step on the predecessors to take the throne. Sometimes it's a head-to-head that falls to the ground if you're not careful.

Zhao Zhong didn't feel the slightest bit guilty about the incident back then, and it can be regarded as killing chickens to show monkeys.

When you go out of the palace gate, it's nothing, and a little northern lieutenant dares to kill your family.

I believe that whether it is himself or the group of old eunuchs who are still alive, they all have this mind. There was no half of the person who pleaded for Jiaotu, and he was killed.

Of course, there are deeper reasons, Cao Jiaxi is a eunuch, even if Cao Song later became a lieutenant, it is inevitable that he is the adopted son of his predecessor Cao Teng.

Cao Song is very interesting, he retreated bravely from the rapids, but in fact, he has his own group of people to resist. His lieutenant is still obedient, what is there to be afraid of? Want to wash off the marks of eunuchs?

Cao Auna is not a son of man, and he still wants to come forward to protect his plan, and by the way, raise his net worth, so as to officially break with the eunuch group?

It's a pity that the Cao family's father and son miscalculated, and they and others treated it as if there was no such thing. Ignore it.

He was so cranky that he unconsciously came under the grape trellis. This was transplanted from the Western Regions, and the Zhao family was really interesting, so they sent someone to take care of it.

However, since then, he has another capital to show off in front of his colleagues.

Others have done the same, but the grapes that can be produced are sour and astringent. How can it be compared to your own own?

Except for a limited number of people in Luoyang, including the emperor and Zhao Zhong, who sent a few handfuls of crystal-looking grapes to each family, even the Zhao family themselves have not tasted it.

He used the grapes as a kind of landscape, and when people visited, he invited them to the vineyards.

But. The life cycle of this little thing is too short, not to mention the leaves keep falling, even the grapes have lost their moisture, and they look shriveled, he picked one casually, and there was no taste at all.

"Master Hou!" This is a few sons and nephews in the family, who used to be picked up from their hometowns, and in order to support the emperor's initiatives, they were all sent to Hongdumen to study.

Rabbit cubs, Lao Tzu is your eldest uncle, not the marquis of Laoshizi.

But Zhao Zhong didn't say anything, just nodded lightly and not majestically, and couldn't stand still under the grape trellis.

"Ah Fu, let someone send them away." When he arrived at the door of the study, he suddenly stood still and said this sentence without a head.

Fortunately, Zhao Fu came from Anping soon after he entered the palace, and the two have been together for decades, and they quickly understood what each other meant.

"Master Hou, where do you see it, all to Guiyang?" Zhao Fu asked cautiously.

A trace of sadness flashed in Zhao Zhong's heart, and it seemed that except for his second stunned fourth brother, the rest of the people only had awe in their hearts.

Not long ago, the emperor sent someone to call him over, and actually asked the Zhao family if they were willing to send someone into the palace again.

Lao Liu's family, Lao Tzu is fed up with you, I make cattle and horses for your family, and I have served three emperors before and after, in the old Zhao family, on the surface, it is majestic, but in fact, not many clansmen look at it.

I don't know if the emperor is testing whether he has the Zhao family to continue to be in power in the palace or the truth.

As the succession lasts for a long time, the one in the palace becomes deeper and deeper, these Zhang let himself be annoying, who wants him to serve by his side every day?

In order to show the attitude of the Zhao family, Zhao Zhong sent all the Yizi family to his father Zhao Chun's territory the next day, to Guiyang County, so that Zhao Mu could reunite with his biological father.

He was afraid that the emperor would want his sons and nephews to enter the palace, and he had figured it out over the years, even if he was outside the palace? His own family is far away in Zhending, and the emperor also pinched his nose and sealed a double marquis.

At the same time, Zhao Zhong was even more worried that his nephews would look at his majesty one by one and quietly enter the palace, which would be a big joke, and it was estimated that Emperor Ling did not want the Zhao family to be in the palace for a long time.

"No, send it to Zhending." He sighed: "Yingchuan Academy is indeed famous enough, but people will not accept the children of people of our status at all, and Yanzhao Academy is different." ”

I heard that many students from Hongdu Gate School abandoned school and rushed to Zhending, and even Taixue, which was monopolized by the family, many students left quietly and went there.

"Yes, the minion will immediately order someone to do it." Zhao Fu seemed to be a little afraid of Zhao Zhong, so he hurriedly walked away.

"Wait," Zhao Zhong went to the study and sat down, watched the two slaves and maids brush away the dust that didn't exist at all, and stopped Zhao Fu, who was about to leave: "You guys go out first, you are not allowed to come in without being summoned." ”

"Didn't you hear?" Zhao Fu has another attitude towards his subordinate: "Find someone to guard outside, otherwise the family law will serve." ”

Zhao Zhong watched all this silently, and asked softly for a long time, "Is that matter an eyebrow?" ”

The emperor sent Zhang Rang to read out the information of the Zhending Zhao family on the top of the main hall, and it can be concluded that those insiders who do not even know themselves must have a detailed work mechanism that has always existed in the royal family.

In terms of money, Zhao Zhong is the most unafraid of checking, not only the emperor and eunuchs, but even the Anping Liu family has been pulled into the water by the Zhao family.

The meaning is different, if the royal family has such an institution, then there is no secret, God knows who is the emperor's meticulous work.

The key thing is that this matter can't be investigated in a big way, only Zhao Fu himself or a few innocent sons can do it, if the emperor knows about it, it won't be fun.

"Master Hou Mingjian, there is no useful news for the time being. It can only be said that Marquis Zhang is not suspicious. Zhao Fu lowered his eyes and said carefully.

Nima, Zhang Rang definitely won't, the emperor asked him to read it, just to bring his own people into the ditch. Let you check, you gave such an answer?

Fortunately, Zhao Zhong is now good at qi cultivation, so he just waved his hand to let him leave. (To be continued.) )

PS: In the days when there was no network, I have applied for a move, and I don't know when I will do it. Thank you very much.
