In the evening, Ji Shen returned from hunting, and sure enough, he waved everyone away, and immediately summoned Nie Yuansheng alone, who had just gotten up from a nap.

The main hall was burning with molten beast charcoal, the tents on all sides were low, and a wisp of faint fragrance poured out in the furnace, Ji Shen threw the whip that he forgot to hand over to the little chamberlain when he got off the horse, and beckoned Nie Yuansheng to sit nearby, and asked first: "Are you in good spirits?" ”

As he spoke, he glanced at his complexion a few times, and saw that although there was still some illusion in his complexion, his spirit was much stronger than in the morning, and he nodded without waiting for Nie Yuansheng to answer: "Today I hunted a deer with my own hands, and I ordered the cook to make it on the way, you can stay and use some with me tonight." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Nie Yuansheng said with a smile, paused and got straight to the point, "Your Majesty said in the morning that something seems to have happened in the past two days?" ”

"I'm here to tell you about it." Ji Shen sneered and said, "Did you leak the news before you went hunting that golden fox?" ”

Nie Yuansheng looked embarrassed, and said with a smile: "If someone else asks, the minister will definitely cover up for the sake of face, but in front of His Majesty, the minister can only tell the truth - first, the fox is cunning, especially the golden fox, and the minister made up his mind to capture him alive at that time, although this West Pole Mountain has come down many times, but it is only fifty percent sure, if it is told in advance, it will be passed to His Majesty's ears first, once the minister loses his hand, the minister himself will lose face and be a small matter, and the minister will not be able to afford to disappoint His Majesty; Second, hehe, the minister is also a little selfish, this golden fox is a single minister, and the success or failure is in the number of five or five, if there are more people......"

Speaking of this, he meant something, "After all, the eldest princess of Xuanning has personally come to support the scene for the horses, and the minister can't help but give the eldest princess this face." ”

Ji Shen nodded clearly, if Lou Wangu and Lou Xun hadn't hunted a golden fox first, although Nie Yuansheng's official position was not high, he was also a favorite minister in front of Ji Shen, and others didn't necessarily have to get along with him for a golden fox, the problem was that Lou Wangu's father and son had already gotten a female fox in the golden fox first, if they could hunt the golden fox again, even if it was dead, they would make up a pair to dedicate to Ji Shen, and this limelight was extraordinary.

In this case, if Lou Wangu knew the news of the other golden fox, he would inevitably have to ask Nie Yuansheng to let go, just one Lou Wangu may not be enough to make Nie Yuansheng, a close minister of the Son of Heaven, jealous, but Lou Wangu's wife, Princess Xuanning, couldn't help Nie Yuansheng not let her.

Therefore, Nie Yuansheng chose to hide and not report, cutting first and then playing, which is also understandable.

Ji Shen is accustomed to being in the upper position, and he also knows a little bit about the scruples of the people under him, he has always been close to Nie Yuansheng, of course, he will not blame him for not giving up the limelight of the golden fox to Lou Wangu, but sneered: "I only ascended the throne earlier, I had to choose the people around me by myself, I don't want to end up except for Ruan Wenyi is a gift from the emperor, the queen mother can't move, everyone else has been replaced by the queen mother with various excuses, when she arrives in Maozi, the queen mother will announce me several times, and every time she will be bitter, enter Maozi slander, I can't stop it several times, Maozi was almost murdered several times! ”

Speaking of which, Rao is Ji Shen grew up in the emperor's family, and he was taught to be happy and angry since he was a child, and he couldn't help but have a gloomy face, and after a pause, Fang continued: "Over the years, the people around me since Gaozu, except for you, are Ruan Wenyi, but Ruan Wenyi has gradually favored the queen mother, and I used the Ouyang family to remove him from the post of eunuch the day before yesterday, and there is nothing to pick in this palace, so I used Gu Changfu first...... But this Gu Changfu doesn't know whether it is towards me or the queen mother? ”

Nie Yuansheng listened quietly, and at this moment, Fang was surprised: "What did you do to exempt Eunuch Ruan?" ”

"The good things that the Ouyang clan has done!" Although two nights have passed, I don't know if it was yesterday that the people of the Ouyang family specially asked to ask for an understanding, which made Ji Shen more and more annoyed, which would mention it and still did not hide his boredom in his tone, and waved his hand and said, "I have taken away her position as a beauty, and then I will discuss with the queen mother when I return to the palace...... Ruan Wenyi knew that Ouyang's poisonous woman had a personal relationship with a foreign minister and murdered the palace people, and she still had to help her speak, and my patience with him had reached the extreme! ”

"When I came to see Your Majesty this morning, I saw that Ruan Wenyi was not around, and the minister thought that Ruan Eunuch was temporarily instructed by His Majesty to do other things, so his righteous son Gu Changfu stayed to serve temporarily." Nie Yuansheng showed a deep groan, and said, "The matter of Ning Hua Niangniang belongs to the harem, and the ministers don't dare to say more, and they don't dare to ask, but they ...... Eunuch Ruan has followed His Majesty for many years, and he is a person given by Emperor Gaozu, and now he is angry with Eunuch Ruan for the affairs of the harem, and the minister thinks it is not appropriate. ”

Ji Shen frowned: "Could it be that I still want to continue to use this half-hearted thing?" ”

"The most important thing for the people around Your Majesty is to be loyal to Your Majesty." Nie Yuansheng heard Ji Shen's anger, but he said unhurriedly, "Of course the minister didn't mean that. ”

Hearing this, Ji Shen softened his tone: "You have always done things thoroughly, if you hadn't mediated over the years, I would have ...... with my mother" He paused and said, "Let's hear it!" ”

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and it is a blessing for whoever you want to be by your side." Nie Yuansheng praised it first, and then continued, "If you are tired of anyone, just send it away, the so-called thunder and rain and dew are all Jun's grace, which Your Majesty deserves, but Ruan Eunuch is given by Gaozu, Gaozu's vision, he is not as good as Your Majesty's intentions, and he is not very old now, and it is still okay to do something else." ”

Ji Shen heard what he meant, but he was still not very happy: "This person was left by the emperor and me, and he has served me for many years...... After the first emperor went, he obeyed his mother again, such a person in the twilight, could it be because he was left by the emperor's ancestor, I don't need him, and I have to bother to find a fat for him? ”

- Ji Shen's dislike for Ruan Wenyi, or from Ruizong, Ruan Wenyi inadvertently revealed Ji Shen's playfulness, and was punished by Ruizong, because Ji was deeply punished that time, and felt betrayed by Ruan Wenyi, and was furious, if there was no persuasion from Nie Yuansheng and other companions, Ruan Wenyi was almost executed!

In fact, because of this, although Ruan Wenyi is the head of Ji Shen's personal servants, or the person given by Liang Gaozu, he did not dare to pin his net worth and life on Ji Shen, so he simply voted for Ruizong, and when Ruizong died, under the orders of the Empress Dowager Gao, Ruan Wenyi did not dare to slack off, just to be able to have a way back.

But he didn't want him to do this, the more disgusted Ji Shen became, and when it came to the matter of the Ouyang family, Ruan Wenyi spoke out, and Ji Shen couldn't bear it anymore, and directly cut him off the position of the head of the internal department!

Even now that Nie Yuansheng suggested not to kill Ruan Wenyi, Ji Shen was a little unresponsive.

"As far as the minister is concerned, why does the waiter bother His Majesty?" Nie Yuansheng smiled indifferently, "In Your Majesty's words, the minister heard that His Majesty was tired of Ruan Wenyi, since this is the case, it is for the sake of Emperor Gaozu to keep him decent, but don't put it in a place where His Majesty can often see him, so it's just a matter of giving him a stewardship." ”

Ji Shen was thoughtful.

"Here in the West Pole Palace, Your Majesty also comes back and forth in spring and autumn, and he is not here every time." Seeing this, Nie Yuansheng suggested, "The minister wants Ruan Wenyi to serve His Majesty for many years, even if something goes wrong, it is more than enough to be the head of the palace, which is also the righteousness of the master and servant." ”

The royal hunting ground is not only in the West Pole Mountain, but the hunting ground under the West Pole Mountain is the largest and closest to Yedu, so nine out of ten royal hunting trips were chosen here.

"What Yuan Sheng said is extremely true!" Ji Shen nodded and muttered, "Then transfer Lei Mo back to Yedu Neisi......"

"Your Majesty, wait!" Ji Shen was only halfway through his words when he was interrupted by Nie Yuansheng and reminded, "Your Majesty said that Lei Jian will be transferred back to the Inner Division, could it be that Gu Changfu will continue to be used to replace Ruan Wenyi in the future?" ”

Gu Changfu is a clear person, and he himself is the chamberlain of the Xuanshu Palace, although Ruan Wenyi was there before, Ji Shen's close service errand can't talk about him coming forward, but after watching it on the side for the past few years, he also pondered Ji Shen's preferences, after Ruan Wenyi was expelled from the main hall of the palace the night before, Gu Changfu has been serving him closely for the past two days, Ji Shen has always felt good, which is also one of the reasons why he did not hesitate to drive away Ruan Wenyi.

This will be interrupted by Nie Yuansheng, Ji Shen suddenly remembered what Nie Yuansheng said when he mentioned Gu Changfu just now, and frowned: "In this way, this Gu Changfu can't be left, and several of Ruan Wenyi's righteous sons in the Xuan Room Hall have all been sent away." ”

Nie Yuansheng shook his head and said: "It's not for this reason that the ministers stopped Your Majesty, in the final analysis, those chamberlains recognized Ruan Wenyi as their father-in-law, could it really be to respect him?" It's nothing more than because Ruan Wenyi is His Majesty's close attendant, the so-called near the water is the first to get the moon, Ruan Wenyi is now evil to His Majesty, those so-called righteous sons may not all be so stupid, the minister sees that since His Majesty has the intention of replacing Ruan Wenyi with Gu Changfu, he wants to serve well in the past two days, which shows that he is a smart person. ”

"If he learns Ruan Wenyi's service and doesn't even learn Ruan Wenyi's mind, what's wrong with me lifting him?" Ji Shen frowned and asked.

"Your Majesty's close attendant is also the head of the internal department, Gu Changfu is young, and he may not be able to afford the latter." Nie Yuansheng said sincerely, "What's more, the current Feng Jian of the Inner Division is Ruan Wenyi's fellow villager, the relationship between the two is very good, Feng Jian's age is longer than that of Ruan Wenyi, when Gu Changfu entered the palace, Feng Jian has been in the palace for many years, although Feng Jian took care of the internal division after His Majesty ascended the throne, but before that, he had been in the internal division for nearly ten years, Your Majesty, please think, originally Ruan Wenyi was his fellow villager, although he was a few years older than him, in the end, he was the same generation, Gu Changfu was Ruan Wenyi's righteous son, Your Majesty was so unusually promoted, I am afraid that the internal division is unstable!" ”

Ji Shen also thought deeply when he heard this, the inner division is in charge of the daily livelihood of the harem, and nominally needs to report to the middle palace, but the highest chief of the inner division is the supervisor, and the head of the non-imperial chamberlain cannot be responsible, and it is also so that the emperor can keep abreast of the cost of the palace and the movements everywhere through his personal attendants, so as not to be blinded by the harem.

This is also the reason why as soon as Ji Shen ascended the throne, Feng Xi, who was a fellow townsman and had a good relationship with Ruan Wenyi, was immediately promoted to prison and joined the main internal division, and even the Empress Dowager Gao did not object to this matter, this is because although the internal division nominally needs to report to the middle palace, in fact, its power is still in the hands of the emperor through the eunuch, so after the eunuch ascends the throne with the new emperor, the first thing he often does is to replace the important position of the internal secretary with his own people, which is also a tacit matter for the government and the opposition.

Although Ji Shen is greedy for pleasure, not to mention the power of the internal secretary, that is, the political affairs of the previous dynasty, he is not very interested, but he also knows that if the head of his personal servant cannot take on the responsibility of the head of the internal department, it will not be beneficial to his own throne - if he is not the son of heaven, why should he gather the wealth of the world and the beauties of the country to provide him with free pleasure and enjoyment?

"If Yuansheng has a way, he can't hide it." After a moment of silence, Ji Shen said slowly.

An imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of Nie Yuansheng's mouth: "The minister thinks that it is better to transfer Ruan Wenyi and the Lei Jian of the Xinggong Palace, the chief manager here Lei Mo is the same prisoner, and he is also the person left by Gao Zu, from the prison to the eunuch, but he is promoted to one level, and he is not easy to be opposed, and the Lei Jian is older, and he wants to come to the inner division to have the Lei Jian watching, which is safer than Gu Changfu." ”

"As for Gu Changfu, he is Ruan Wenyi's righteous son, although he has served His Majesty wholeheartedly in the past two days, but the minister thinks that he is young in the end, His Majesty might as well promote him to a courtesy envoy and put him in the inner division to sharpen it, so that in the future, Lei Jian will be old, and His Majesty will have useful manpower!"

The word "Gain" deeply touched Ji Shen's heart, and he nodded without thinking: "Ruan Wenyi, a soft-boned righteous son, no matter how well he serves, he has to look at his heart!" Just as you say! ”
