Chapter 80: The Merchant of Hualang
Qing Chi saw that the emperor didn't say anything, as if he had already had a certain understanding of this matter, so he had to think about it and talk about it again.
He thought, maybe the emperor himself inherited the great unification as a distant sect and another branch, so he didn't attach so much importance to the identity itself?
Or maybe the emperor also had that kind of mind about Zhou Yao?
This can't be, this thought startled him, but what if?
Since ancient times, the emperor's heart is unpredictable, if the emperor is really moved, his report will be a little inappropriate, very inappropriate.
As soon as his mind moved, he began another strategy.
Since there is no right or wrong in the facts, you might as well pick a few things and talk about them.
If the Sacred Heart is partial, there is nothing to say.
While making up his mind, he stepped forward and gave a salute.
He said solemnly: "Your Majesty, what I said before is the official material reported by the detectives of the Nijo Division, and I believe that the news you got from other channels is also like this."
But there are some things that I know better than outsiders. ”
"Well, it's like a debriefing.
I just said those words, and at first glance it is an endorsement.
I'll just say that my chief manager, when he is like this, he doesn't look like a big eunuch, but like a sour showman. ”
Qingchi didn't blush when he heard the emperor say this, "Your Majesty made fun of it, then I won't say it." ”
"Keep going, even Jingyun knows that you have goods here."
Hearing the emperor mention the eunuchs, Qing Chi immediately understood, presumably the emperor knew a lot of things, and this inquiry was just a test of his attitude.
He hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed three heads upward, "Please forgive Your Majesty, I was just confused for a while, and I almost delayed Your Majesty's important affairs."
The subject examination is based on the country's materials, and the background is not important, Zhou Yao is indeed a talent who can contribute to the country.
My selfishness was clearly seen by Concubine Yun, and she didn't break it, giving the villain a chance to reflect, and now I sincerely regret it. ”
"Oh, how to speak, how I get more confused the more I listen."
"Your Majesty, although I have been by your grace to be the chief steward, I am also a person with ordinary desires, selfishness, and feelings.
Concubine Yun knows, I have been friends with Hua Shao of Hualang Club since childhood, and it is not an exaggeration to say that I am a childhood sweetheart.
Later, this Zhou Yao popped out of nowhere, and he also got a lot of Hua Shao's blue eyes, and I was jealous in my heart.
So when you ask me today, the first thought that comes to mind is to let him plant a heel in you, and he will plant it thoroughly, and he will not be able to turn over, and he will disappear in front of us forever.
But I forgot that I was first and foremost a eunuch in the palace, a courtier of His Majesty, and your eyes and ears, and I did not do my duty, but I always thought about jealousy, which is really a big mistake. ”
As he spoke, Kiyoike's tears flowed down line by line.
It's about really touching my heart, and it's about these days that hesitation, jealousy, and hatred are all discharged through tears.
The emperor was also a little surprised to see him like this.
"Yes, eunuchs are also human beings and have feelings, how can they only be used as tools?"
He secretly reminded himself in his heart that if he wanted to truly accept the people around him, he really had to consider what they thought.
"I know, you have so many grievances.
I shouldn't have asked you about it, I shouldn't have made it difficult for you. ”
"Your Majesty, now that I have figured it out, I should give you a serious answer.
Zhou Yao is a useful person, he is indeed both civil and military, skilled in bows and horses, not the handsome boy on the surface. ”
"Well, I wrote it down.
Thank you for the victory over emotion through loyalty, but there is no next time.
You have to remember your position, remember that our country needs more talents, and it is not something that can be swayed by personal likes and dislikes.
My world needs a lot of talents. ”
Emperor Xuande's voice was full of majesty that had never been before, and his softness and affinity from the time of business were all replaced by something unfamiliar.
It sounds like obedience, and even a little fearful.
"Your Majesty Xie reminds me that I will be loyal to the country and be loyal."
Qing Chi couldn't tell for a while whether he was sincere or out of fear of the monarchy.
He vaguely felt that His Majesty was getting more and more different from before.
At first, when he first came to Haojing, he treated everyone so modestly and looked like he had no quarrel with the world.
Even if the courtiers quarreled in front of the palace, they were indifferent.
But, slowly, he began to change.
Since that high priest entered the palace, he has become more and more irritable, don't say any nonsense about the blessing of the fire god, Qingchi doesn't believe that.
He believed that the emperor was originally an idea-minded, irascible man.
But when he first arrived, he carefully hid his true nature.
Or, for years in Pennsylvania, he has been suppressing himself.
Now, when the conditions are ripe, he began to erupt, revealing the resentment that the ancestors had hidden for generations.
"Okay, you go down."
After hearing the emperor's order, Qingchi took a breath and slowly retreated.
Qingchi returned to the side hall on duty, only to find that his clothes were already half wet.
It turns out that it is not that he is not nervous, it is not that he is not afraid, no matter how calm his face is like water, his heart has already turned over the river and the sea.
Your Majesty, I don't know what will happen in the future?
It's not going to be easy to serve, and when I think about it, Qingchi's head begins to swell.
He comforted himself by taking care of the things in front of him first, and then talking about later.
As long as you follow Concubine Yun well, you are not afraid that Your Majesty will be difficult for yourself.
In this harem, it is most important to follow the right master.
After bathing, he changed into clean clothes, sat down at the table, and took out the dust whisk by a pair of towering palace candles, and stared at the opal in a daze.
The wishful knot was loose two days ago, but it was still re-tied with the help of the color ink of Bixiao Palace.
Although Caimo's appearance is ordinary, there is no palace maid in this palace who is more skillful than Caimo's hands, and her mind is also very dexterous.
I remember that the color ink tied the wishful knot, and when I handed it over, I blushed with shame.
He seemed to have seen it many times, but he could only pretend not to see it.
Yes, the lonely palace maids can only be at the eunuchs, and it is pitiful to think about it.
He secretly decided that when her contract expired, he would ask Hua Shao to find her a good family.
Not everyone can use it, they can only be used as tools, they also have feelings, and they should have a good home that they have in mind but are always delayed.
Hua Shao, although he saw it was still the same as before, Qingchi knew in his heart that he could no longer treat him like he did in the past.
is no longer a couple for a lifetime, and with the shadow of another person, it is always crowded in a panic.
But he can't say that he hates Zhou Yao, especially the past that Hua Shao said, it is really a difficult choice that cannot be parted.
