Chapter Ninety-Three: The Imperial Driver (1)
Ji Jia finally failed to return to Beijing before the royal car got up, but the emperor could only hand over those things to him, so he naturally knew that he would not be able to come back in the past two days, so he didn't blame him more.
But most of the royal driving this time fell on Cao Tingyu.
Among them, I have to say that it is due to Lu Cheng, who has always been by the emperor's side, and naturally knows very well what the emperor wants.
That's why I took the initiative to say at this time, since Ji Jia is not here, why don't you find someone else from Dongchang to come and arrange?
So who to look for?
Lu Cheng naturally would not take the initiative to mention Cao Tingyu's matter, but as long as the emperor had a heart, he could naturally know that Ji Jia had a righteous son in Dongchang, and many of the tasks on weekdays would be handed over to this righteous son to do.
He trusts Ji Jia, so he naturally believes in his vision of seeing people, plus Cao Tingyu has had the experience of facing saints twice before, it is rare that the emperor still remembers him.
This can be said to be the right time, place and people, that's it, Cao Ting went to the front of the palace, and then took over this will.
At that time, the emperor was looking at the fold in front of the desk, and glanced at him in a hurry, but felt that he had not seen him for several months, and this person seemed to be more and more calm, and the eunuchs were more delicate, but he was extraordinarily outstanding.
But the emperor didn't think much about it, just thought about it, Ji Jia has always looked at people like this, and he thought that whether it was external or internal, it had to be completely in line with his mind.
But even just looking at Cao Tingyu's appearance, I have more or less expectations for him, and I think he should be a wonderful person.
"This matter will be left to you to handle, your father-in-law will return to Beijing in two days, you don't want to mess up the errand, it will be difficult to deal with him when the time comes."
Cao Tingyue thanked him, "Your Majesty commanded, the slave must do his best." ”
The emperor glanced at Cao Tingyu again, "I heard that you walk more among the people?" ”
He changed his notebook and said in a light tone, "Is there anything you can talk to me about?" ”
This is a big talk, it's too good, I'm afraid that the emperor may not believe it, after all, he himself has many spies buried in the people, but if it is not good, I am afraid that the emperor will be even more angry.
It's hard to control the degree of this.
But the more Cao Ting knew that what the emperor wanted to listen to now was actually about the Nan'an flood.
At least to this day, the rain in Nan'an still seems to be not going to stop, and once the rain does not stop, the flood will not ease for a day.
Cao Tingyue said, "Back to Your Majesty's words, now the people talk a lot about the Nan'an flood. ”
Sure enough, the emperor's hand paused, and then quickly raised his eyes to look at him for a moment, "Oh? I can't imagine that the people are so concerned about national affairs? What do you say? You said it was from me to listen. ”
Cao Tingyue lowered his head, "It's not like a state affair, the people think that this is a matter of the people, and now there are some refugees from Nan'an who have already entered the capital, and some people are panicking." ”
This is something that the emperor doesn't know, and he frowned, "There are already refugees in the capital?" ”
Cao Tingyue nodded, "But this seems to be the earliest batch of refugees, at that time, the local county order was forbearing, so it was the best time to miss the rescue, which caused some refugees to flow out, and then His Majesty had already ordered the disaster relief to begin, and now the situation must have improved." ”
The Emperor's hand tapped on the table, and then he wrung his eyebrows to look at him, "What gossip is there among the people?" ”
"Originally, it was a time when the sky was high, and everyone was in a good mood. After learning that His Majesty dispersed Qiuwei to Huguo Temple, it was even more so, and they all believed that the flood in Nan'an would be solved in the near future, and they all pinned their hopes on Your Majesty. ”
As soon as the emperor's hand was released, the expression on his face darkened slightly.
This is a good thing, no matter what, the people will still pin all these hopes on him, that is, to see good things.
The main reason is that Cao Tingyue is too logical and organized, so that the emperor thinks that what he says is the truth nine times out of ten.
In fact, there are not many people who tell the truth in front of the emperor, and many of them are trying their best to say some scenes to make the emperor happy.
So now that the emperor has looked at Cao Tingyu again, he feels that Ji Jia's vision of people is indeed good.
He lowered his eyes, "You are now in charge?" ”
Cao Ting replied yes.
This position of head is not up or down, but because he still has the identity of Ji Jiayizi, others will respect him more, but to put it bluntly, his position is the same thing.
The emperor took the book again, and his tone was light and casual, "Lower it, wait for your stepfather to come back and ask him to give you a promotion." ”
He seemed to be gossiping, "The righteous son of the governor of Dongchang has to be a thousand households." What's going on with the shift? ”
Cao Tingyue hurriedly thanked him, "Minion, thank you for your grace." ”
The Emperor waved his hand, "Go down, I know a lot about you." ”
Cao Ting bowed out more and more, the dark Dongchang robe on his body was now shining in the sun, and Lu Cheng, who was guarding the door, naturally heard all the words in it clearly.
As soon as he saw Cao Tingyu, he lowered his voice and laughed, "Cao Qianhu, I have to congratulate you." ”
Cao Tingyue arched his hand, "The matter here is still a TOEFL companion." ”
Lu Cheng smiled and shook his head, "It's a thousand households, what can it do with our family." ”
The two of them glanced at each other, and they both understood the meaning of their eyes.
The eunuch and the eunuch have always been relatively relaxed when they talk.
Cao Ting walked towards his courtyard, and within two steps he met the eldest prince, he rarely entered the palace on weekdays, but it was strange to meet him at this time.
Cao Tingyue hurriedly bowed down to greet the eldest prince.
The eldest prince snorted coldly, and was about to pass past him, when suddenly his steps stopped again, and then turned his head to look at him, "You ......"
He seemed to be thinking, his thick eyebrows were twisted together, and it took him a while to remember, "This king remembered, you are Ji Jia's righteous son, right?" ”
Cao Tingyue nodded yes.
This big prince is so bold that he dares to call Ji Jia's name.
It's not that Ji Jia's cards are big, but let's put it this way, that is, when the queen mother mentions Ji Jia in front of outsiders, she has to call her a governor.
After all, he is the person favored by the emperor, and the right to speak is naturally much higher than that of the idle person.
And among so many people, I am afraid that only this eldest prince has never known each other, and he has repeatedly opposed Dongchang, which has made Dongchang people extremely dissatisfied with him.
But Ji Jia didn't say anything in the face of this, just smiled.
Cao Tingyue quickly understood what Ji Jia meant, he has always been a person who will repay him, this big prince despises him like this, is it possible that he still wants to get any good results?
It's just that Ji Jia didn't say anything at this time, most likely thinking that he didn't report it, and the time had not yet come.
But the eldest prince has always felt that he is a man of heaven and a master.
And even if you Ji Jia are in a position of power, no matter how much you are valued by the emperor, in the final analysis, you are actually just a minion, or even a eunuch.
The eldest prince glanced at Cao Tingyu with a disgusted expression, "This king heard that the matter of this trip was actually handed over to your Dongchang?" ”
He snorted coldly, "Didn't you hear that Ji Jia hasn't returned to Beijing yet?" Do you still have someone in the East Factory who can take on the big responsibility? ”
His tone was very yin and yang, but it made Cao Tingyue understand something, and His Royal Highness the Great Prince didn't seem to want to hide his meaning now.
He was abolished by the queen, and on weekdays, he only held himself as the emperor's eldest son, and he called and drank to the people in Dongchang, and easily did not give a little face.
Cao Tingyue thought before that he just didn't like the people in Dongchang.
- After all, there are not a few such people, and there are many people who hate eunuchs.
Even counting some dynasties in the past, there were emperors who hated eunuchs very much.
But today, Cao Tingyue found that it didn't seem to be so simple, and the prince really didn't like Dongchang.
But he has been so targeted for many years, and even mocks him today, I am afraid that there is a deeper meaning.
Under him, it is estimated that Jinyiwei has a large number of people.
even said that Jin Yiwei may already be on his side.
But His Royal Highness the prince didn't seem to understand it at all, and the current Jinyiwei's team was useless at all.
Almost all of the Jinyiwei's powerful positions have been hollowed out, and there are only two thousand households in the Jinyiwei, and they are the kind that do not hold real power at all.
Even if they have embroidered spring knives in their hands, as long as the emperor doesn't value them, they are as useless as scrap metal.
Only His Royal Highness the Great Prince still feels that with the blessing of Jinyiwei, he will be closer to the position of the prince.
It's ridiculous to say that in the past, the Jinyiwei of the East Factory fought against each other, and the comparison was that they were all loyal to the emperor and did not listen to anyone's dispatch, but today, Jinyiwei even took a fancy to the eldest prince to stand by his side.
Although he is the eldest son, there is the queen's concubine below, and the youngest son of the favorite concubine below.
He doesn't take advantage of it at all, and he doesn't have much chance of winning.
Jin Yiwei is estimated to have nothing to do now, so he is in a hurry to go to the doctor.
Even Cao Ting was thinking that if he coaxed Lu Cheng before, that is, Jin Yiwei wanted to make some assassins, if this matter was confirmed, then I am afraid that His Royal Highness the Great Prince in front of him would really not be able to eat and walk away at that time.
A glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, so fast that people couldn't catch the traces.
He smiled slightly, bowed his head, and his expression was more humble and humble, as if he was not the master of the thousand households of the emperor Chrysostom just now, but the most unknown little eunuch.
"It's all Your Majesty's will, Dongchang has served Your Majesty for many years, but it's just to listen to Your Majesty's orders."
He has a humble attitude and provocative language.
The eldest prince instantly raised his eyebrows coldly, as if he was about to get angry in the next second.
