Chapter 11 The secretary takes up his post
He Ziming took the secret decree and saw that it was written: "Ordered He Ziming to form an internal guard, which directly belongs to me, and allows the secret music and the right of life and death." On the paper is the emperor's private seal of "Master of the Diligent Palace". At that moment, he folded the secret decree properly, carefully put it in his arms, and silently kowtowed three times.
Only then did Li Guanqi reach out to help He Ziming and say, "Get up." Eat something with me. ”
Tang Mao really has the ability to serve people, today he ordered the imperial dining room to cook the meal is the right taste of Li Guanqi, in the past, there was not a dazzling array of delicacies, only a pot of millet porridge and four side dishes, a plate of crystal three-flavor vegetables, a plate of raw lettuce, a plate of spicy dried beans, a plate of spiced peanuts.
A few days ago, I ate too much fish and meat, and my stomach was greasy, but now these things were swung in front of him, and Li Guanqi was immediately aroused.
He Ziming didn't know why, he thought that the emperor had always been so frugal, and Li Guanqi's greedy eating didn't look like pretending. I was moved to cry several times after a meal, but I couldn't lose my dignity in front of you, so I tried hard to hold back so that I didn't cry, and drank all my tears back with millet porridge.
After He Ziming resigned, Li Guanqi was still unsatisfied, and said with a smile: "Tang Mao, it seems that you can become a great eunuch, and it is not all a fluke." It's really good at serving. ”
Tang Mao replied with a smile: "The emperor's happiness in eating is the filial piety of the slave and maid." The slave has the courage to boast, and being a slave also has the know-how to be a slave, and you have to be able to figure it out! ”
Li Guanqi laughed and said, "I really let you figure it out this time." But I wasn't wrong about you. Is Yue'er coming? ”
Tang Mao was confused by Li Guanqi's twists and turns, so he didn't think about it in a hurry, and hurriedly replied: "It's early and I'm waiting outside the hall." ”
"Call in."
Yue'er has been anxious since returning from the bath in the morning, and she doesn't know what the emperor thinks. To be honest, she is also selfish in her heart, a huge palace, there are countless pink beauties, in the spring flowers and snow moon of the years, how many pink beauties have become glamorous souls who will never look away.
I finally got the opportunity to get close to the emperor, how sorry it would be if it was self-defeating. Now that the emperor has summoned her again, she really feels like she has knocked over the five-flavor bottle, and she doesn't know what it feels like.
Li Guanqi looked at Yue'er who was kneeling at the bottom, and saw that she was wearing a jade white silk dress, and she did not wear complicated gold and jade ornaments on her head, but just inserted a jade moth obliquely in her hair.
Yue'er saw that the emperor didn't speak, just stared at herself, and her face couldn't help but turn red again. Li Guanqi realized that he was a little out of shape, and shouted with a shallow smile: "Tang Mao." ”
Tang Mao didn't expect the emperor to call himself, so he hurriedly replied, "The slave is here." ”
"You remember. As I said, eunuchs are all lowly people. So from today on, I will set a rule for you, eunuchs who speak and interfere in politics will be killed immediately! The twists and turns I see, no matter whether they are important or not, whoever dares to watch them privately and pass them on privately will not be forgiven.
I just said that you don't have the ability to be a eunuch of Bingbi, so from now on, you will not be a eunuch of Bingbi, and this position will no longer be set up in the future. But you will serve people, and you will be your chief eunuch, but you will only be responsible for my daily life. Oh, you still take care of this side, Xiao Ying is in charge of the dormitory. Listen, you? ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Tang Mao hurriedly said, "The eunuchs are all lowly seeds, and I am also a cheap race." When she turned back, the slave and maid passed the emperor's will to the whole palace. ”
Li Guanqi nodded and said: "There is another position in the palace, let's call it the secretary, and Yue'er will be in charge of the folding documents in this palace." In the future, in this temple, except for Yue'er, you can't move a piece of paper unless you obey the order. ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Tang Mao hurriedly replied, pushed Yue'er again, and said, "Don't thank you soon." ”
Yue'er reacted at this time, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Slave and maid thank the emperor for his grace." ”
Li Guanqi waved his hand and said, "Okay." From now on, you are my secretary. You will not have to kneel and serve in this temple, nor will you call yourself a slave or a maidservant. ”
"Yes. Slave...... The concubines obey the emperor's decree. "Yue'er is still a little uncomfortable with the change of identity.
"Get up." Li Guanqi waved his hand and said, "Ask someone to carry a bed, just put it behind this curtain, and Yue'er will live here in the future, and it will be close to my dormitory, so it is convenient for me to call when I have something." ”
"Yes." Tang Mao hurriedly agreed.
Because he realized that it was not so easy to be the emperor, Li Guanqi was particularly "diligent" these days, and he did not rest at night. Therefore, Yue'er, the new secretary of the department, also took up his post immediately and waited on the side.
Now Li Guanqi's mood is starting to get better, and before the crossing, he had more than once had a dream of "having something to do as a secretary, and having nothing to do as a secretary", and now his dream has finally come true. Ha ha.
The reason why Li Guanqi chose Yue'er as his secretary is actually for a reason, although there are many beautiful women in the palace, but seeing too much will also produce aesthetic fatigue. Yue'er is different, she is not only as beautiful as she looks, she also has a temperament that the beauties in the palace generally do not have. Needless to say, the white and delicate skin and delicate facial features, the key is the faint abruptness condensed between her slightly frowning brows, which made her immediately have a charm, and Li Guanqi even unconsciously thought of the weak Xi Shi Huansha and the sad and complaining Zhaojun out of the stopper. Of course, there is no shortage of beauties in the palace, but it is difficult to find beautiful women with charm.
Yue'er was actually secretly observing Li Guanqi, although he had not been in the palace for a long time, he had also heard from the old palace maids about a lot of things about the emperors in the past.
Although the previous Emperor Muzong reigned for 25 years, he almost never asked about political affairs, and spent all day fighting dogs and watching flowers, and singing songs at night. In the past, Emperor Wuzong called a group of guards to practice martial arts every day, and drank all night at night. There has never been an emperor who has been working at his desk like Li Guanqi.
Walking up to Li Guanqi gently, Yue'er said softly: "Your Majesty, it's already late at night, it's time to go to bed." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, before Li Guanqi could reply, Yue'er saw another big eunuch, Xiao Ying, shaking his hand desperately below. She couldn't help but feel strange, and looked at Xiao Ying with a full of inquiry in her eyes.
Li Guanqi followed Yue'er's gaze and saw Xiao Ying who was squeezing his eyebrows, so he scolded with a smile: "Xiao Ying, what the hell are you doing?" Yue'er just came to serve in the Qinzheng Palace today, so she naturally didn't know when I would rest. Out of concern, it's also good to remind me, and I'm not an unreasonable person, can I blame her? ”
Xiao Ying sneered and said: "The emperor is working hard, and the slave is afraid that she will affect the emperor's thinking, so she ......."
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, I don't blame you." Li Guanqi interrupted Xiao Ying's accusation, and said with a smile to Yue'er: "You are new, I don't know, they all know." I'm a night owl, and you, as my secretary, must be with me, aren't you tired? ”
