Although the Carpenter Emperor commanded Tian Ergeng to Jinyiwei, it was not easy for him to replace Tian Ergeng.

Yang Xiaoyu thought for a while, and ordered someone to prepare a carriage, and he was going to see Wang Tiqian, the commander of Dongchang.

Wang Tiqian is in charge of the East Factory, and is also in charge of the trivial affairs of the Inner Palace, most of the time in the Inner Palace, and rarely has time to go to the East Factory.

Moreover, Huang Zhongwei and Ding Chenghu used the money of Beizhen Fusi to buy the officials of the East Factory, and things went very smoothly, and many depressed and unhappy East Factory officials were willing to be loyal to Yang Xiaoyu.

This matter has been going on in secret, and Wang Tiqian, who is the commander of Dongchang, has not noticed it.

Yang Xiaoyu came to the gate of the palace in a carriage, got off the car and entered the palace to go to the celebrant of ceremonies.

Wang Tiqian had a small courtyard behind the celebrant supervisor, and when he heard Yang Xiaoyu coming, he hurriedly went out to greet Yang Xiaoyu to the small courtyard.

The two exchanged polite greetings and sat down separately.

Yang Xiaoyu said: "Father-in-law, Yang came today to ask his father-in-law for a small favor!" ”

Wang Tiqian was puzzled for a moment and asked, "What kind of help?" ”

Yang Xiaoyu didn't beat around the bush, and said directly: "Father-in-law admits Dongchang, supervises hundreds of officials, and Jinyiwei is also under the leadership of his father-in-law, Yang wants to ask his father-in-law to send a secret letter to the emperor!" As he spoke, he took out a stack of silver tickets from his bosom and handed them to Wang Tiqian.

Wang Tiqian looked at the thick pile of silver tickets in front of him, and asked softly, "What secret music?" ”

"Jin Yiwei commanded Tian Ergeng to take bribes, run rampant, recruit domestic slaves, and plot misdeeds, my father-in-law only needs to write these words, and after the matter is completed, there is another thanks!" Yang Xiaoyu said softly with a smile on his face.

Although Yang Xiaoyu said it easily, how could Wang Tiqian not guess the meaning!

Although Tian Ergeng is a little more insidious, as far as he knows, Tian Ergeng has never had a conflict with Yang Xiaoyu, and he doesn't know that Yang Xiaoyu acted like this this time. What is its purpose?

Wang Tiqian and Tian Ergeng didn't have any friendship, he picked up the silver ticket and looked at it, slowly put it into his sleeve, and said with a smile: "Lord Yang, don't worry, this matter is on our family!" ”

Yang Xiaoyu knew that Wang Tiqian would agree to this, after all, he only needed a secret letter. It can put Tian Ergeng in a dilemma.

Besides, he gave Wang Tiqian more than 40,000 yuan in silver, and according to Wang Tiqian's greedy personality, how could he let it go.

"Then thank you father-in-law, another day Yang will invite his father-in-law to listen to the opera and enjoy the music!" Yang Xiaoyu stood up and smiled.

Wang Tiqian smiled and didn't answer, he saw that Yang Xiaoyu wanted to leave, and asked in a low voice: "Mrs. Fengsheng has a bad temper recently, and our family is angry with the scolding today, does Lord Yang know why?" ”

Of course, Yang Xiaoyu knew why Ke Yinyue was angry. But he didn't tell Wang Tiqian clearly, and said pointedly: "The emperor lives in the palace, can Mrs. Fengsheng be happy?" ”

After saying this, Yang Xiaoyu hinted: "Father-in-law should stay away from Mrs. Fengsheng, so as not to burn himself!" ”

Wang Tiqian was slightly shocked in his heart, and asked calmly on his face: "What does Lord Yang mean by this?" ”

"The concubines of the six palaces are not favored, and Mrs. Fengsheng is out of favor, so the princess thinks about it carefully. Last year, will the fate of Concubine Zhang Yu befall Mrs. Fengsheng one day? Yang Xiaoyu said with a smile.

Wang Tiqian hurriedly asked, "Does Lord Yang know anything?" ”

"The emperor favors the painter in the palace. It is estimated that soon, that painter will become the master of the six palaces! Yang Xiaoyu said alarmistly.

Wang Tiqian nodded, he also heard a little about the carpenter emperor and the square painter, but he didn't expect the matter to be so serious.

"Then shouldn't our family go and meet Master Fang?"

"Father-in-law, don't be in a hurry, and see the situation first. It's never too late to wait a little longer! ”

"Lord Yang means that the emperor favors someone else?"

"That's not it, the emperor's heart is in the square painter, those of us who are courtiers, it's best not to be too aggressive, and wait for things to come to an end. It's never too late to see you again! ”

Wang Tiqian somewhat understood the meaning of Yang Xiaoyu's words, and smiled at Yang Xiaoyu and thanked him.

Yang Xiaoyu knew that Wang Tiqian understood what he meant, so he didn't stay long and left.

Out of the celebrant supervisor, Yang Xiaoyu walked towards the palace gate.

Halfway through, a little eunuch stopped Yang Xiaoyu on his way: "Lord Yang, the queen is invited!" ”

The Queen?

Yang Xiaoyu muttered in her heart, secretly wondering if what she did last night was known to the queen?

There was no panic on his face, and he smiled and asked the little eunuch to lead the way, and he followed behind.

The empress of the Ming Dynasty lived in the Middle Palace, which is also known as Kunning Palace.

Zhang Yan is the queen selected among the five thousand beautiful women, her appearance is good, she has been in the middle palace, she has taken care of the concubines and sisters, and she is very loved by the palace maids.

Of course, now Ke Yinyue is more powerful, and many things in the palace are decided by Ke Yinyue, and Zhang Yan, the queen, can only manage a few places in the East and West Six Palaces and the Monk Diet.

Yang Xiaoyu followed the little eunuch all the way to the outside of Kunning Palace.

The little eunuch went to report first, and he stood outside and waited.

After a while, the little eunuch came out to pass the word, and the queen summoned Yang Xiaoyu in.

Yang Xiaoyu tidied up his appearance and strode into Kunning Palace.

Coming to the outside of the main hall, Yang Xiaoyu looked upright, walked in, only to see a seventeen or eighteen-year-old beautiful woman sitting above the main hall, she was wearing a red and yellow gold and silver silk Luan Bird Chaofeng embroidered court dress, embroidered with a large peony next to the sleeves, very bright, the skirt with a robe, very long, embroidered with a silver phoenix pattern on the skirt, gorgeous and noble.

Zhang Yan is naturally beautiful, with a moth head and eyebrows, ice muscles and jade bones, eyes like autumn waves, mouth like cherry blossoms, and bright glass jewelry reflected on the black hair coiled high, looking noble and delicate, and dignified.

Yang Xiaoyu was a little stunned, it was the first time he had seen such a beautiful and upright woman.

During the Lantern Festival, he only glanced at Zhang Yan from a distance, only saw her peerless figure in Allure, and did not see her face clearly.

In the past, he thought that Zhang Qiong was Zhang Yan's sister, and her appearance should be close to Zhang Yan, but now it seems that Zhang Qiong is more charming, but less Zhang Yan's uprightness, and her appearance is a few points worse than Zhang Yan.

Yang Xiaoyu walked to the center of the hall and bowed: "The minister has seen the queen!" ”

"Excuse me!" Zhang Yan's lips opened lightly, her face was majestic, and her voice was as bright as a yellow warbler.

Yang Xiaoyu stood up straight and said, "I don't know what the queen's ministers are here?" ”

"You should know what the emperor has been busy with recently, right?"

Zhang Yan's voice as bright as a yellow warbler came into Yang Xiaoyu's ears, causing a ripple in his heart.

Yang Xiaoyu thought for a moment and replied: "The minister has been dealing with the affairs of Beizhen Fusi recently, I don't know what the emperor is busy with!" ”

"Lord Yang, have you finished reading the Analects?" Zhang Yanliu's eyebrows furrowed secretly, and then asked.

When it came to this matter, Yang Xiaoyu was angry, he kindly helped Zhang Yan, but Zhang Yan used the Analects to ridicule him for not doing his job.

At this time, Zhang Yan mentioned this topic again, and Yang Xiaoyu said with a straight face: "The minister has read poetry and books since he was a child, and he has only a few Analects, but he can't remember it, but thank you for the reward of the queen!" ”

"According to the palace, Lord Yang should read more Analects!" Zhang Yan heard the anger in Yang Xiaoyu's words, and said indifferently.

"Follow the teachings of the queen's mother, and the minister will retire!"

Yang Xiaoyu was angry in his heart, and he bowed and was about to turn around and leave.

"Lord Yang, stay for a while, this palace has something to ask you!" Zhang Yan saw that Yang Xiaoyu was leaving, so she said lightly.

"The queen mother, please command!"

Yang Xiaoyu knew that Zhang Yan must have something to say when he was looking for him, so he turned around and said.

"The emperor lives in the palace and has not returned to the palace for a long time, the palace has discussed with other concubines and invited the emperor to return to the palace, and this matter must be mediated by Lord Yang!" Zhang Yan opened her mouth and said business.

"The emperor is a holy monarch, and the minister is a foreign minister, it is inconvenient to talk about the affairs in the palace, please forgive the queen!" Yang Xiaoyu politely refused.

"Lord Yang doesn't have to be too modest, both inside and outside the government and the opposition know that Lord Yang is the emperor's confidant minister, Lord Yang asks for this matter, and the emperor can't approve it!" Zhang Yan said softly.

Yang Xiaoyu is not a gentleman under the skirt, he finally got the carpenter emperor out of the palace, how could he easily invite the carpenter emperor back, besides, his layout is not complete, if the carpenter emperor returns to the palace, all this will be in vain.

"Do your best!" Yang Xiaoyu decided to stabilize Zhang Yan for the time being, so that she could put her mind at ease. (To be continued......)
