Chapter 293, I can't see through
When Zeng Rongzheng was embarrassed by the cold reception that Zhu Heng received this summer, Li Ruolan stood in front of her, bowed her head and leaned over, and asked her what she was thinking.
It turned out that unconsciously, Zeng Rong's right hand was rolling the upper right corner of the copy, constantly opening and stacking, stacking and opening, almost grinding the corner of the copy.
Seeing this, Zeng Rong's face turned slightly red, and he hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, the first time I came into contact with the copywriting written by the historian, I thought it was very mysterious before, but suddenly I saw that my name was also mentioned, and I was inexplicably a little excited and a little nervous." ”
"How? Is it fair? Li Ruolan also suddenly remembered that the dispute between Zeng Rong and Wang Bai that day was also recorded, but it happened to be last month.
"Very impartial, impartial." Zeng Rong replied.
"In the future, you need to remember that whether it is a person or an event, you must be as fair and fair as possible, only in this way can future generations restore the truth of history, and we historians can not be scolded and nailed to the pillar of shame in history." Li Ruolan said.
Zeng Rong saw that the other party used the word "as much as possible" at the beginning, but the last sentence seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and after thinking about it, he also understood her helplessness.
probably realized that his last sentence was serious, and without waiting for Zeng Rong to respond, Li Ruolan said again: "Actually, we female historians in the inner court are okay, most of them are recording some of the emperor's words and deeds, which is relatively easy, and those foreign historians who are responsible for managing historical materials, recording historical events and compiling historical books are difficult, the court often argues, not only the ministers quarrel with each other, but also the emperor and the courtiers, it is not easy to maintain neutrality and objectivity." ”
Zeng Rong didn't believe this before, the imperial power is supreme, the emperor is full of words, who dares to get along with him, won't he find his own death?
Through the reduction of the tax, she can also spy on some of Zhu Xu's helplessness, don't look at him as the emperor, but he really doesn't have the final say in the affairs of the court. It is reported that because Zhu Xu ascended the throne at a young age, although there is an auxiliary government of the Queen Mother, most of the major affairs of the court and government are handed over to the cabinet to decide, although Zhu Xu became pro-government later, but the habits of many years are not so easy to change, I am afraid that this is also an important reason why Zhu Xu later promoted Xu Fushan to the first assistant of the cabinet, relatively speaking, Xu Fushan is a pro-emperor faction, and does not have so much ambition and desire for power.
Of course, this is just Zeng Rong's speculation, and she doesn't know how it is at present, and she can't see through it.
In the afternoon of this day, Zeng Rong was still sitting at the desk and reading the copywriting for an afternoon, while Li Ruolan re-copied yesterday's copywriting.
After dinner, Li Ruolan told her to go back to rest after working the next morning.
Coming out of the Inner Court Bureau, Zeng Rong hesitated for a moment and turned around to the Shanggong Bureau, she wanted to visit Qin Chuxue and Liu Chunmiao.
This time, Qin Chuxue, who Zeng Rong went to see first, learned that she had entered the Inner Court Bureau, and Qin Chuxue was happy for her, but she was happy and a little regretful, because in her opinion, the female historian of the Inner Court Bureau would not be replaced until the change of imperial power.
This means that Zeng Rong is unlikely to return to Zhu Heng.
To be honest, she couldn't figure it out and couldn't understand the emperor's intentions, knowing that the Queen Mother and Zhu Heng both valued Zeng Rong so much but didn't have the slightest intention of fulfillment, it was a bit unreasonable, there was no shortage of female historians Zeng Rong, but Zhu Heng may not be.
Liu Chunmiao also can't figure it out, but this is a good thing for Liu Chunmiao, as long as Zeng Rong doesn't go to Zhu Heng's side, it is unlikely that Zeng Rong and the imperial concubine will be opposed, so she doesn't have to be caught in the middle.
Taking a step back, even if they can't take Zeng Rong for their own use, as long as Zeng Rong doesn't target them, and the well water between them does not interfere with the river water, they can still be at peace with each other.
That night, Zeng Rong had insomnia.
On the one hand, I think that I will get up early the next day, and I must not be late for work in a new capacity; On the other hand, she also analyzed whether it was good or bad for her to enter the inner court this time, and whether the intricate disputes in the harem would involve her.
The imperial concubine is okay to say, the two have not had a conflict on the surface, they met a few times in Xiyuan this summer, and the imperial concubine will respond to Zeng Rong with a smile, but the queen is different.
Although Zeng Rong still saluted her in a regular manner as before, Queen Wang rarely responded to her, even if she had to pretend because of outsiders, she only nodded lightly.
This knot will be difficult to untie for a while.
Of course, what I want to understand is Zeng Rong, for Queen Wang, Zeng Rong is just a small female official, and she can't get in the way, but it's just a little eye-catching.
But Zeng Rong is different, this beam is knotted, and Queen Wang wants to give her small shoes to wear, which is a very easy thing, especially now that she has entered the Inner Court Bureau, there must be more opportunities to deal with Queen Wang than the Pharmacopoeia Bureau, and it is inevitable that she will not be embarrassed.
In a daze, Zeng Rong still closed her eyes, and I don't know how long it took, she was still in a daze, she heard someone telling her to knock on her door, and after her consciousness returned, she hurriedly got up, lit the lamp, and asked, only to know that it was Li Ruolan who called her.
It turned out that Li Ruolan guessed that Zeng Rong might not be able to get up, and the child was greedy and easily oversleeped, so she specially turned her to wake her up.
Zeng Rong looked at the hourglass in the corner of the wall, and when he was about to get a quarter of an hour, he hurriedly washed his face, combed his hair briefly, changed his clothes and went out with Li Ruolan.
At that time, the sky was not yet bright, there was no starlight, only a faint morning light, Li Ruolan carried a lantern in her hand, and a burden in her other hand, just like that, she was worried that Zeng Rong would trip over the stones, so she couldn't wait to put the lantern under Zeng Rong's feet, and kept reminding her to look at the road.
Seeing this, Zeng Rong hesitated slightly, took the lantern, and held the other party's arm with the other hand, Li Ruolan's body stiffened, but she didn't refuse Zeng Rong, when the two arrived at Qianning Palace, the door of Qianning Palace was still closed.
After waiting for a while, a eunuch came out to open the door, recognized Li Ruolan and Zeng Rong, and let the two of them in, Li Ruolan led Zeng Rong into the first room in the east, that is, the daily emperor's dining place, there were two eunuchs and palace maids walking around, the emperor lived in the east room, Zeng Rong could hear the movement from the next room.
About half an hour later, a eunuch came out, Li Ruolan asked him what time the emperor woke up, how he slept last night, how many times he woke up at night, who was the concubine who slept last night, whether he could send him away in the middle of the night, etc.
She asked on the side, and Zeng Rong recorded on the side.
As he was writing, Zeng Rong heard a cough, more like clearing his throat, and then the emperor came out.
