Chapter 180: The Harem and the Court
"Zisheng...", after Peng Yue came to the study, he saw that Xu Jie was already standing there waiting. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Master Peng...", Xu Jie saluted Peng Yue, and sat down with Peng Yue in the invitation.
"Zisheng, congratulations on your promotion...", after the two subordinates sent some tea and pastries to the study, they retreated at Peng Yue's signal, and for a while, only Peng Yue and Xu Jie were left in the room.
"Master Peng smiled, if it weren't for your help, where would I have gotten into the ministry? That's why I'm here to express my gratitude...", Xu Jie said with a smile, his tone was full of gratitude.
In fact, Xu Jie is also a lot older than Peng Yue, so whenever Peng Yue sees this figure who will dominate the Ming Dynasty politics in the future and himself so polite, he feels in his heart... Very useful...
"This is still your own ability...", Peng Yue looked at Xu Jie, "I just discussed it with Lord Zhai Luan Zhai, and they all think that you are a manufacturable material, and the imperial court can't turn a blind eye, right?" Haha..."
"In short, I still want to thank the adults, you must know that sometimes the weight of a sentence is also very heavy...", Xu Jie looked around the study, but it was quite clean, and there was indeed no one, "Actually, I know that Lord Yan Songyan is in power now, but I don't want to ask him, but if I don't ask him, I won't be able to enter the ministry, so I keep in mind the kindness of the adults..."
"Okay, don't say these empty words...", Peng Yue didn't shy away from seeing Xu Jie's words, so there was no need for him to take care of it, "Actually, Lord Xia wanted to transfer you to the Ministry of Officials before, but... However, because of Lord Xia's departure from the court, this matter was delayed..."
"Lord Xia's kindness, I naturally keep it in my heart. In fact... I have always regarded Lord Xia as my teacher in my heart, if it weren't for Lord Xia. I'm afraid I'm still in the place, and I don't know when I'll come out of it...". Xu Jiezheng said, and his tone was also very sincere.
"Although Lord Xia has temporarily left the court, the court still needs us to serve, right? So it's right to cheer up and do your job well. ”
"Master Peng, I'm afraid that if I want to serve now, someone will hinder it." At this time, Xu Jie deliberately lowered his voice, "Now it coincides with the Holy Lord's suffering, and the power is handed over to the cabinet first." But now the battle in the cabinet is intensifying...
Lord Zhai Luan Zhai is named Shoufu, but in fact, the power is not comparable to Lord Yan, who is deeply favored by the emperor, and Lord Xu and Lord Zhang are even more silent, so the key to the current government lies in Lord Yan..."
When Xu Jie said this, he stopped talking, because he also had his own careful thoughts. After all, Peng Yue has formed a family with Yan Song, although he learned from Xia Yan that Peng Yue is deeply jealous and even hates Yan Song, but who knows if his political orientation will change? Just now, he made it clear to Peng Yue that he didn't want to ask Yan Song. To some extent, I have already made my political position clear, and I already regret it a little at this time.
"Yes, the key to the current government is Lord Yan, but... Lord Xia will come back one day..."
"Hmm... Master Peng is so sure? ”。 Xu Jie listened to Peng Yue's words just now, and couldn't help but feel a move in his heart: Is he showing his attitude to himself?
"Now that the emperor is still sick, the court ceremony is exempted. But I want to see the emperor... But it's also difficult...", Xu Jie's tone was stunned. Glancing at Peng Yue, "I heard that the emperor has only seen Lord Yan twice. The rest of the ministers have been thinking about each other but can't get it..."
Peng Yue heard the tentative meaning in Xu Jie's words, and thought that this person was really careful, so Zhengse said, "Yes, in fact, since the emperor is sick, I haven't seen the emperor, so thinking about it, everything really depends on the cabinet." ”
Xu Jie couldn't see what Peng Yue's opinion was, so he didn't want to sell anything to him anymore, so he just sighed on the side, "I thought that Lord Xia was favored at the beginning, but I didn't expect that the emperor would suffer a great disaster now, but Lord Xia was far away from the government and couldn't share his worries..."
"It's not a matter of moments." When Peng Yue saw Xu Jie mention this matter, he became interested in discussing history with him, "How many famous people in history, extremely famous ministers, and infinite honor. But it didn't take long for the situation to be bleak, and some even directly became dry bones in the grave, which were just a few pages in the history books. ”
"Master Peng's words..."Xue Xu Jie said with a smile, "In fact, where are the courtiers and celebrities, I think the intensity of the struggle in this harem is not inferior to that of the court..."
"Oh? What did Zisheng say about this? ”
"Does Master Peng know about Concubine Duan and Concubine Wang Ning being ordered to be executed?" , Xu Jie smiled, "Haha... Originally, we were courtiers, and we shouldn't have talked about it... But now that I'm in a private room, I'll just say it's okay..."
"Ahh Yes, it doesn't matter...", Peng Yue put his hand on the table, "The notice has been posted, and the news that Concubine Duan and Concubine Wang Ning were given death will naturally spread far and wide, what?" Is there something strange about this? ”
"Master Peng, Concubine Duan is a favorite concubine today, what reason does she have to murder the emperor? And although Wang Ningfei has fallen out of favor, after all, she has been friendly for many years, and her temperament is also gentle, I really didn't expect her to have this guts...", Xu Jie stroked his beard and smiled mysteriously, "I heard that the emperor can't speak now, and the holy decree naturally can't be drafted, I'm afraid this will was made by Queen Fang on behalf of the emperor, right?" ”
After Xu Jie finished speaking, he and Peng Yue looked at each other and smiled, and the two immediately understood. In fact, they all understood that this was just Queen Fang's revenge for years of falling out of favor, so she took this opportunity to remove the two pretty beauties.
"I want Concubine Duan to be said to be a harem beauty of 3,000 people in the past, and 3,000 are pampered in one, but now she has ended up with such an ending, it's really embarrassing...", Xu Jie shook his head as he spoke, but there was no regret on his face, anyway, he was not his wife...
"yes, it seems... Empress Fang is a chess master, and she deserves to be able to dominate the six palaces...", Peng Yue took a sip of tea and said a little casually.
"Lord Peng's words are wrong, in this way, Empress Fang is definitely not a smart person, and she is by no means the final victor...", Xu Jie raised his eyebrows and said softly, "The emperor favors Concubine Duan, but Empress Fang is the emperor... The emperor was sick and put Concubine Duan to death, which was not a wise move. Although it was said that an enemy was executed, after the emperor recovered from his illness, could he be happy? Therefore, Queen Fang's move was that the predecessors planted trees, and the descendants took advantage of the shade, and she was hated by the emperor, and she also gave the cheap to the later people..."
Peng Yue didn't think much about this matter, but when he heard Xu Jie say this, he suddenly understood, but he suddenly thought about something again, and he always felt a little familiar...
"But now it's easy to say, but it's hard to do, people in the bureau tend to ignore this...", Xu Jie said, there was regret in his tone, "I think Lord Xia probably didn't understand this at the beginning, so Guo Xun's trouble... Although Lord Xia got rid of his political enemies at that time and did not let the emperor catch the handle, he didn't know that the root cause of that incident had been planted, and the emperor had already been jealous of him. Lord Xia seems to be the victor, but there is no doubt that he has lost a lot of things invisibly..."
Peng Yue looked at Xu Jie with some surprise, but saw him wink at himself: This Xu Jie, obviously talking to himself about the harem, secretly was metaphorically testing his attitude, and he really almost caught his way, but he was really a smart person... (To be continued.) )
