Guan Rong won the plaque rewarded by the Queen Mother, and even the distress of his younger brother's death seemed to have been cured, and he swaggered around the harem in gorgeous clothes, just like a peacock who opened the screen and complained.

Guan Jinu really stopped making trouble and became a monk, and went to the emperor in pain and tears to admit that he was confused, and he shouldn't have suffered from madness because of his son's death, so he didn't do it.

The emperor took pity on him for losing his middle-aged son and rewarded him with ten beautiful girls on the spot.

The monarch and the ministers dispersed in a harmonious atmosphere.

After getting off the chapter of the Jinluan Palace, the look on his face disappeared for a while, replaced by depression, brushed his sleeves and walked towards Miaoyin Temple, and because the little eunuch in front of him blocked his way, he raised his foot and kicked him, scolded twice, and his face became even more dull.

The most proud people who followed the people were all heartbroken, all of them were frightened, and they held their breath, for fear that bad luck would fall on them.

Fortunately, the emperor walked fast, and when he saw Miaoyin Temple, everyone's hanging hearts were put down.

Zhang entered the temple alone, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that he was playing chess with a concubine in the pavilion in front, his eyes were sharp, and there was a cold snort and cough in his nose, and he walked over.

Calm and Wu Sanji heard the cough and hurriedly stepped forward to take over.

Zhang pulled up and calmed down, but he had a cold face at Wu Sanji: "You don't take good care of the fetus in Meifeng Courtyard, what are you doing here?" Don't go back yet! ”

Wu Sanji responded in a low voice and exited the door.

calmed down enough to give him tea to drink, and asked lightly: "The emperor has something on his mind?" What's annoying? ”

Zhang sipped his tea, straightened his eyes, and asked for a while: "You look at these ministers in the DPRK and China, which one is worthy of the important task?" ”

Calmly laughed and shook his head: "Your Majesty, the concubine is just a woman, where do you know how to use people." ”

"Fortunately, you came up with an idea from a woman, otherwise I and the queen mother really couldn't think of any other idea to appease the general who came out as a monk to blackmail me." Zhang sighed.

Calmly stood behind him and rubbed his shoulders: "Your Majesty, you have to be forgiving and forgiving, besides, he still fears the emperor, otherwise he would not gamble with the emperor with his son's life." ”

"This makes me even more frightened, the tiger poison does not eat children, for the sake of the future, he can even give up his son's life, this person is very terrible." Zhang said slowly.

"No poison, no husband, no informality for those who become big things, General Guan is a marshal who leads troops to fight, and naturally knows how to send troops to deploy formations, even if you want to lose a battle, you must minimize your losses. There's nothing wrong with that. Calmly said.

Zhang sighed heavily: "There are no available people in the imperial court, and there is no talent who can solve my worries, it's difficult." ”

"Why don't you open a coenko and select a group of young people to come up? How many available talents are personally selected by the emperor? He smiled calmly.

"It's not that I haven't thought about this issue, and I've raised it with the cabinet a few times, but I've been rejected by those old stubborns, saying that the existing officials are already too big to open Enko.

How can I be the opponent of the nine of them, naturally I can't tell them. Zhang replied frustratedly.

"If you can't tell it, show it to them." Smiled calmly.

Zhang squinted, put down the teacup, and said with a serious face: "How to do it?" ”

Laughed calmly: "The concubine's work is not a work, but a work." ”

"What do you mean?" Zhang asked.

"It is the truth that officials are miscellaneous, according to the conjecture of the ministers and concubines, there may not be those who can do practical things, the children and grandchildren of the cabinet ministers occupy important positions in various ministries, but they do not do practical things, if you want them to compromise, you have to let them move, and when they can't do it, they naturally have to agree to let the emperor get another person to do it." Calm down.

Zhang nodded slowly, but frowned again: "I may not have the ability to make them bow their heads." ”

"The concubines have a way, let them bow their heads first." Smiled calmly.

"Tell me." Chapter came the spirit.

"The concubines have no ambitions, so they can only find a way to clean up the old pedantics in the Hanlin Academy." Calm the veil half-hid his face and said with a smile.

"Tell me quickly, if you can do it, I will reward you with a thousand taels of gold." Zhang said excitedly.

This is simple, and now the correspondence between various countries is translated by the Translation Center of the Hanlin Academy, and then submitted to the various ministries for processing. Then the emperor can write a few letters that they can't translate at all, and embarrass them.

They can't translate, so they naturally have to ask the cabinet ministers to help solve it, and the cabinet ministers will naturally report to you in order to avoid responsibility, and then you can do it, so that they are helpless, and they can remember that you once mentioned the matter of opening Enko. ”

Said calmly and slowly.

I clapped my hands and laughed: "Good idea, I understand, I not only have to do it on the side of the civil ministers, but also on the side of the generals, I have done a lot, I don't believe that they are not compromising, and agree with me to open the Enke to select new people, after all, I am the emperor, and I am the last person to make the decision." ”

"The emperor is wise, farther than the concubines think." Smiled calmly.

"I didn't expect that what I, the emperor, did, would have to learn to be pretentious like a woman." Zhang shook his head, a bit of desolation on his face.

"What is the emperor's words, no matter what you do, you always have to use some means, you can't always be ruled by others, just at their mercy?" Speak calmly and quietly.

Zhang took a calm hand, put it on his face, and after a while, he said: "With you, I am like a tiger with wings, and it is much easier to do things, but unfortunately, I can only seal you as a concubine." ”

"The concubines don't care about these things, as long as they can be by the emperor's side." smiled calmly, but his expression changed, revealing a slightly cautious look:

"Just now, the concubine also helped the emperor come up with a useful idea, can the concubine use this to ask the emperor for something?"

"Whatever you want, just say, as long as I have, I'll give it to you." Zhang Wenyan felt a little frightened, this was the first time that they had been together for so long, and they calmly opened their mouths to ask him for a reward.

"The concubine wants to ask the emperor for a brocade of satin." said with a calm smile.

"I'll give you a thousand." Zhang Hao waved his hand angrily: "You wait, then ask them to move you over." ”

Calmly rolled his eyes: "I don't open the silk Zhuangzi, what do you want to do so much, just one horse is enough." You haven't listened to me yet, but why are you in a hurry? ”

"Tell me, what more do you want?" Zhang pulled her to him, hugged her to his lap and sat down, and asked with a smile.

"The emperor doesn't have this satin." Smiled calmly.

Zhang stretched out his hand and scraped her nose: "I don't have it, what can I do?" ”

"The concubine gives the drawings, and the emperor asks the weaving bureau to weave a horse for the concubine alone?" Calmly asked.

"Okay, no problem, bring the drawings first, show me what kind of rarity." Zhang smiled.

Calmly took out a drawing from his sleeve, unfolded it, and handed it to him: "This is painted by the concubine herself, and she wants such a satin of a pattern." ”

"This is easy, I will go out later, and let Zhu Yingsi do this." Zhang looked at the drawing and smiled.

Zhu Yingsi was Zhang's companion eunuch, and he took care of Zhang until he was demoted to the cold palace at the age of six. He originally wanted to commit suicide and martyrdom, but was stopped by the Empress Dowager Guan, looking for a reason to let him out of the palace, and after being silent for all these years, he finally got through it again, and now he has become the most powerful eunuch chief by Zhang's side.

The eunuch is like an adoptive father, although Zhang, the eldest companion, has been absent from his side for many years, but after all, he has accompanied him in his infancy and is also Zhang's relative.

Calm now looks at his so-called relatives.

Zhu Yingsi is not an ordinary eunuch, according to Xiao Chunzi, this person has been outside in the name of the prince's adoptive father over the years, and has made a lot of money, and the largest and most prosperous Song Ji money village in the capital is the business under his name.

The speed at which she calmly turned into silver made her anxious, and the money bank couldn't be opened, which made her really unbearable.

Since you don't have the strength, it's not bad to grab a ready-made one.

So, calmly fell in love with Zhu Yingsi's room.

This kind of good thing to buy things, the emperor usually asks Zhu Yingsi to do it, and this time it was really the case.

"Calm down, this suit is new and interesting, I haven't seen it before." Zhang looked at the drawings in his hand and smiled.

"The concubines sleep and dream at night, and occasionally dream of a kind of color, I also feel novel, and I draw it after waking up, first make a satin to see, if it is good-looking, do you want to make a piece of the emperor?" Calmly laughed.

Zhang Haha laughed, put the drawings on his sleeves, hugged her, and asked, "The nineteenth of this month is an auspicious day, shall we set off?" ”

"Yes, it's indeed an auspicious day, it's the emperor's birthday." Calmly pushed him away, stood up and stepped aside, and smiled.

Zhang's eyes moved with her, full of love, overjoyed: "How do you know?" I didn't say anything about it, and now I have exhausted all means to solve the urgently needed military salary, and I still try to save as much as possible where I can save it.

As long as I don't mention it, I don't think they dare to mention it, and this birthday just passed quietly. ”

"What you, the emperor, has done is enough to be aggrieved, if it turns over one day, it is good to kill this villain to relieve his hatred." Calmly pouted.

Zhang Hehe laughed twice and shook his head: "You, no matter how many ideas you have, you are still a little woman after all, you only care about your own mood, and you don't care about the safety of the society." ”

"This is natural, the concubines can't manage so much, Sheji has nothing to do with the concubines, the concubines only care about the emperor's safety." Smiled calmly.

Zhang looked at the hour card on the wall, reluctantly got up, stretched his waist, and said with a smile: "I'm leaving, there are a lot of things to discuss, I should also do what you say, let them guess what is on their minds, and come back to accompany you in the evening." ”

Calmly sent him out, and just turned back, I saw Kong Lingci coming out of the side hall, seeing her, pouting, and sneering.

"You have time to come over today and accompany me to taste this tea, the emperor just brought it, saying that it is this year's new tea." calmly dragged into the house and made tea for her.

Kong Lingci sat on the chair and didn't drink, just sighed: "You have been very strange recently, you have a lot of ambitions, and you have even begun to meddle in the affairs of the previous dynasty?" Do you want to die? Don't you know the ancestral precept that concubines are not allowed to interfere in politics? Do you want me to remind me? ”

"Did you hear what I just said?" Calmly asked.

Kong Lingci shook his head: "I can't hear it all, just sit in the room next to me and occasionally hear one or two sentences clearly." I'm doing this for your own good, and you don't want to fall on deaf ears. ”
