Chapter Twenty-Eight: Keeping People Under the Knife

The sharp voice was extremely harsh, making everyone in Dejing Mansion frown.

The sergeants and civilians standing around were also attracted by their eyes, and their footsteps moved, gradually forming a large semicircle.

Just hearing this, he knew that the other party and Jing Fu were not dealing with each other, Jiang Long squinted his eyes and looked at the person who came, and then saw a figure holding a white whisk in his hand, rubbing a thick foundation on his face, and wearing a blue brocade shirt walking quickly.

Seeing this figure, Jiang Long was instinctively stunned.

Because from the memory of the original body, I know that such a dress is ...... This man turned out to be a eunuch.

As a modern person, Jiang Long naturally saw the eunuch who had been castrated for the first time, so the anger that originally arose because the other party and Jing Fu did not deal with each other slowly turned into curiosity.

Gaze back and forth on each other, looking carefully.

"Grandpa Sun."

A few sergeants waited for someone to approach, and they bowed in unison to say hello.

Gonggong Sun is not yet twenty years old this year, he is an errand boy in the East Palace, and he is a little eunuch who has been serving by the current prince's side since he was a child, although he does not have much power in his hands now, and his status is not obvious, but the old emperor is now old and sick, and it has long been rumored that he is afraid that he will not live for a few more years.

Today's crown prince is very appreciated and favored by the emperor, so as long as the prince ascends to the throne, this grandfather-in-law will be worth double.

Therefore, even the chief eunuch who is favored in front of the old emperor now has to give a few thin noodles when he sees Grandpa Sun.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, it is the same in the palace, maybe ordinary eunuchs and palace maids who have little power will not be affected by the change of dynasty, what to do now, what to do in the future, but those eunuchs who are loyal to the old emperor and the powerful stewards among the palace maids will definitely be replaced by batches of things year by year after the new emperor ascends the throne.

When the crown prince ascends the throne, this grandfather-in-law can at least make a palm print chief in one of the twelve prisons.

The 12 eunuchs in the palace are the celebrant supervisor, the internal official supervisor, the imperial eunuch, the secretary supervisor, the imperial horse supervisor, the shrine supervisor, the Shangshan supervisor, the Shangbao supervisor, the seal ribbon supervisor, the Zhidian supervisor, the Shangyi supervisor and the metropolitan governor.

As for which prison has the most power, we will go into more detail later.

The old eunuch and the palace maid were replaced, and they wanted to leave the palace and return to their hometown, and at that time, it was arranged by the newly appointed chief stewards like Sun Gonggong...... As soon as you enter the Hou Gate, it is as deep as the sea, and this palace is even deeper than the Hou Gate.

To put it mildly, in the palace inside, how many people must not die one day?

"This father-in-law looks a little blind, I don't know where to do an errand?" Old Madam Jing was originally hesitant, waiting here, even if she was put in later, the prestige of Jingfu would still be affected, and if she didn't wait, she would naturally cause some trouble.

Old Madam Jing naturally would not have the idea of retreating directly.

Of course, if you don't mess with trouble, it's naturally better not to mess with it.

However, after hearing Grandpa Sun's sour voice that did not give Jingfu any face, she instantly made up her mind in her heart, and her brows, which were originally slightly frowned, also stretched out, and asked softly with an indifferent face.

"My father-in-law is on an errand in the East Palace, and today I came to mourn Master Guichen at the behest of the prince." Gonggong Sun raised his chin and looked at Mrs. Jing with disdain.

Jiang Long's face was not good-looking at this time, and he dared to treat his grandmother with this attitude!

But before he could get angry, Mrs. Jing had already straightened her waist and snorted coldly: "Then the order not to allow ordinary people to enter the Jialan Temple today to pay incense to mourn Master Guichen is also the will of the prince himself?" ”

"This ......"

Grandpa Sun suddenly choked.

Jialan Temple is not like other temples, because there is a reason for returning to the dust master, the incense here is extremely prosperous, the reputation is Weilong, more than ten years ago, the old emperor is the Emperor is the protector of the national treasure temple, and the role of the Huguo Temple in the hands of the royal is used to bind and bind the faith of the people.

Use faith to control the hearts of the people in the capital, so that the people will be more loyal to the Great Qi Dynasty and willing to be cattle and horses for the court.

To be more precise, it is to make the people more loyal to the emperor today and use it for the emperor!

The capital is an important place, and the emperor must firmly grasp all kinds of power in the palm of his hand, including this Huguo Temple.

Although the prince of the East Palace is the future emperor, he cannot interfere in the affairs related to the Huguo Temple now.

In other words, if the prince of the East Palace dares to come to Huguo Temple to give orders now, it will be a big taboo, and it may cause suspicion and dissatisfaction among the old emperor.

I'm not dead yet, do you want to win over the people and take the opportunity to seize power?

Of course, these things will naturally not be understood very well by Grandpa Sun, a little eunuch, but there are many capable courtiers around the prince of the East Palace, and these courtiers have explained before Grandpa Sun came to Huguo Temple.

You can't do it in Huguo Temple.

The old emperor is very fond of the prince, but when he is old, he is about to die, and he will inevitably be suspicious.

Few people are not afraid of death, let alone the emperor who has the entire country and countless harem beauties?

Even if he can live one more day, the old emperor will not be willing to die early.

And in all dynasties, how many princes were deposed of the right to succeed when the emperor was dying?

And how many have lost their lives directly?

So although the situation is good for the crown prince now, he must also be cautious and cautious, otherwise he will not have a chance with the emperor's throne.

There is a good saying, since ancient times, there has been no family affection, not to mention that the emperor does not lack sons!

And a lot of these sons are not fuel-efficient lamps!

"Since it was the prince's order, the old body naturally didn't dare to disobey." Old Madam Jing pretended to let out a long sigh, and turned around to leave.

"It's not!" Grandpa Sun gritted his teeth.

He didn't dare to lie because he was angry, otherwise if he caused trouble to the prince, his life would be difficult to protect!

"Huh?"

Mrs. Jing tilted her ears and pretended not to hear.

Father-in-law Sun's pale face, which was wiped by foundation, turned red instantly, "Our family said that the order that ordinary people are not allowed to enter the temple to offer incense is not from the prince!" ”

"Oh." Mrs. Jing stopped turning around, deliberately lengthened her voice, and looked at her grandfather-in-law's face with some playfulness, "Then since it is not the prince's will, what about the old man who is not allowed to enter the temple to offer incense?" ”

"This, this ......" After all, Grandpa Sun is not very old, and he has not really controlled the real power, he has scheming, and there are also some means, but he has not really been a superior person who holds real power, and he has not experienced the wind and waves, just like a hairy boy who has not been trained, he has no power to fight back in front of the big Buddha of Mrs. Jing.

The first was stumped by Mrs. Jing's words, and suppressed the momentum, and at the moment he was in a mess, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

"Back to the old lady, it was an order from Lord Xiao." At this time, Wu Chang saw that his father-in-law was deflated, and stepped forward to speak.

Grandpa Sun immediately had confidence again, jumped to his feet and shouted, "Yes, it's Lord Xiao's order!" ”

"Which Lord Xiao?" Mrs. Jing asked with an unhurried smile.

"Lord Xiao Jing, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites."

Grandpa Sun replied immediately, and at the same time, his face showed an arrogant face.

The Ministry of Rites is one of the six departments of the imperial court, which is used for the five rites of Kaoji, Jia, military, guest, and fierce; Manage the affairs of national colleges and universities, imperial examinations, and the affairs of vassals and foreign countries.

There are four divisions under the Ministry of Rites, the Department of Ceremonial and Cleansing Officials, which is in charge of the ceremony, military ceremony, management of academic affairs, and imperial examinations; The priest of the ancestral sacrifice is in charge of auspicious and murderous affairs; The host and guest clearance department, in charge of the guest ceremony and the reception of foreign guests; The fine food and cleaning officials are in charge of the affairs of the feast and the sacrifice.

The Ministry of Rites has a book, from a product.

There is one waiter on the left and right, and the second is the second product.

This Xiao Jing is the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, usually in charge of the ancestral sacrifice and the host and guest Qing Officials, today the emperor gave the order of the Jialan Temple, mourning the master of Guichen, related religious beliefs, and foreign envoys came with him, all of which were related to Xiao Jing's affairs, so he was accompanied by Xiao Jing himself.

"It turned out to be an order from Lord Xiao."

Old Madam Jing repeated softly in her mouth.

The people around also heard Grandpa Sun's words, and they were all surprised, the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites was a dignified and second-class man!

Moreover, the ancients respected the left, so compared with the right waiter, although the left waiter has the same grade, his actual status is half a level higher than the other party.

In other words, Xiao Jing is the second-in-command of the Ministry of Rites.

Delis had already wrinkled a pair of willow eyebrows at this time, she wanted to report the name of Jingfu and scare the sergeant, and the sergeant let him go.

But I don't want a grandson to pop up suddenly.

Although Father-in-law Sun is an errand boy in the East Palace and has no real power at hand, but now that the old emperor can't survive for a few years, who dares to offend the people close to the prince?

I'm a little impulsive.

Dai Lisi sighed lightly, if Mrs. Jing chose to retreat and caused Jingfu to lose her dignity, then she would also be duty-bound.

After all, if she didn't tell the names of Jingfu, who would know their identities?

Although Jiang Long has not traveled for a long time, he is influenced by the original thoughts, and he also knows that a second-grade member like Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites has a high position, and this person has given an order, and now Jingfu, who does not have a title, stands to reason to be unconditionally obedient and obedient.

It's just that this breath is a little unbearable!

But now there is no way.

Jiang Long knew that it would be embarrassing and embarrassing to come forward and say retreat at this time, but he was now the only male in Jingfu.

What qualities are most important as a man?

Undoubtedly, it is a sense of responsibility!

Men should be responsible!

Whether it is praise, praise, ridicule, ridicule, disgrace, or being scolded, Jiang Long must come forward at this time.

If he doesn't come out, does he want to let Mrs. Jing, who is in her fifties, be at the forefront and be ridiculed and ridiculed by a eunuch?

It was not the work of a man who stood up to heaven and earth.

I suffered a loss today, but I have a chance to get back in the future.

So Jiang Long took a deep breath, just to step forward and speak, and persuade Old Madam Jing to bear with it for the time being and go back to the mansion first.

However, he hadn't made any moves, Lin Ya had already opened his mouth, lowered his head, and whispered: "It's windy on the mountain, the old lady is getting older, and the little young master is thin, be careful that if you stay here for a long time, you will get sick, why don't we come back another day to make incense?" ”

When Mrs. Jing heard this, she glanced at Lin Ya with a smile.

She knew that Lin Ya was not cowardly, but was looking for herself to go under the steps.

However, her dignified old lady, is it necessary to be afraid of a left waiter of the Ministry of Rites!

And if she really retreats timidly in front of such a little eunuch as Grandpa Sun today, then she has to jump out of the coffin board angrily with her father-in-law, who has been dead for ten years, and scold her for being cowardly and losing the face of the Jing family?

If you don't get it right, that crazy marquis will jump to her feet and shout that she is over.

Thinking of the deceased father-in-law, Mrs. Jing was a little confused, but in an instant, she retracted her thoughts.

"Get out!"

Seeing that Mrs. Jing didn't speak again for a long time, Sun Gonggong thought that the other party didn't dare to resist, and he was even more proud.

"Look for death!"

However, at this moment, a low roar sounded, and then a brilliant sword light was seen striking in mid-air.

The light of the spatula was as fast as lightning, and it was close to Grandpa Sun's throat in just a moment.

Everyone was stunned.

Because no one could have imagined that someone would suddenly make a move.

And it's to do it to the red man Sun Gonggong next to the prince of the East Palace!

The commander of the forbidden army has some skills, but he can't save it at this time.

Just when everyone thought that Grandpa Sun was going to hit the ground, Mrs. Jing suddenly closed her eyes slightly and said softly:

"Keep people under the knife!"
