Chapter 30 The New Emperor of Southern Xinjiang
Since Concubine Li was punished, the direction of the wind in the palace has changed again. The Internal Affairs Office, the Imperial Dining Room, the Judicial Bureau, and the Treasures Bureau, all sent things to the Jing Guiren Palace in a variety of ways.
In this regard, Jing Guiren smiled and accepted them one by one.
And those concubines who had trampled on Jing Guiren when they were not favored by Jing Guiren also panicked, but they would not be like the servants in the palace, who would see the wind and steer the rudder, worship high and step low, and the performance was too obvious.
I didn't dare to rashly curry favor with Jing Guiren, and I was worried in my heart that I had offended Jing Guiren, and whether Jing Guiren would hold a grudge and wait for an opportunity to take revenge.
Now that Jing Guiren is in full bloom, even Concubine Li has been suppressed by Jing Guiren. If this Jing noble man really wants to take revenge, does he still need to use his strength? Just chewing a few words of tongue from the emperor is enough for them to keep the empty bed alone.
But the emperor still hasn't been to Jing Guiren for a long time, as if he has forgotten Jing Guiren. Even if he occasionally went to Concubine Xian to greet Concubine Xian, he would not stop by to see the noble man of Shangjing.
The people in the palace speculated again, and they all said that the emperor didn't pay much attention to Jing Guiren.
But this time, the people in the palace all calmed down, and they didn't dare to rashly do anything like worship high and low. What if the emperor remembers that Jing Guiren is here again one day?
Sure enough, the emperor still remembers the Jing nobles.
The lychees paid tribute by the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom, in addition to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, and the Lady in the concubine position, there is only the lychee that Jing Guiren, a low-ranking master, was rewarded by the emperor.
So everyone in the palace guessed that the emperor was really different from Jing Guiren. It seems that Jing Guiren is not a thing in the pool? What about the blessings in the future?
In fact, the emperor didn't remember the Jing noble, but Mr. Yin took some grapes from the cold cellar for the emperor to enjoy, and tactfully complained to the emperor, saying that the seventh prince had repeatedly come to the palace to ask for grapes, saying that the seventh princess liked it. The refrigerated grapes in this palace have already been tossed.
The chief steward Wang was also waiting beside him, and when he heard what the chief steward said, he said casually, "Then the noble man will not be able to eat grapes." ”
After all, Mr. Wang has always remembered that Jing Guiren likes to eat grapes.
Originally, it was just that Manager Wang and Manager Yin did not deliberately avoid the emperor's "whispers", but the emperor listened to it.
Then he asked, "Jing Guiren likes to eat grapes?" ”
Mr. Wang immediately replied tremblingly, saying that last time the emperor rewarded Jing Guiren with grapes, Jing Guiren was smiling! The food is cheerful.
The emperor seemed to have forgotten about this and asked, "Is it?" When did I give my concubines grapes? ”
Manager Wang's chrysanthemum-like smile immediately froze. The co-author of the emperor has long forgotten about Jing Guiren? How much is this talking yourself?
Manager Yin hurriedly helped, "Your Majesty, after the Jing nobles went to bed last time, the emperor sent the chief manager Wang to ask the Jing nobles what reward they wanted, and the Jing nobles said that they wanted to eat grapes. ”
"Yes, yes, that's it." Mr. Wang immediately agreed.
"In that case, then reward Jing Guiren with some lychees! Wang Fu, it's up to you to do this! ”
"Yes, the minion obeys."
Therefore, this reward that makes the palace people seem to be supreme favor is just a casual remark by the emperor.
The emperor even forgot that he had rewarded Jing Guiren with grapes.
However, the emperor forgot that he had rewarded grapes. It doesn't mean that you have forgotten about the Jing nobles. After all, Fang just gave lychees to Jing Guiren, didn't he?
Mr. Wang was in a hurry to deliver the lychee, and it happened that Mr. Yin came out, and the two exchanged pleasantries. Although both of them were waiting in front of the emperor, in front of the emperor, how could they dare to talk about other friendships?
So now this rare time of freedom, a few words can be regarded as greetings.
Mr. Wang was still trembling in fear, "Oh, I'm talking a lot again, but fortunately, the emperor didn't blame him." ”
"Hmph, you! Talking never goes beyond the brain. Don't think about it yet? The words came out of my mouth, saying how many times have you been, let's have a longer memory in the future. ”
"Yes, yes, thank you Mr. Yin for the point. I hurried to do the emperor's orders. ”
Mr. Wang thanked him modestly and went to work urgently.
As the saying goes, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers. How can there be two managers in front of this emperor?
That's a long story.
In the past, the chief eunuch who served by the emperor's side went out of the palace to retire because of his old age. Today's Chief Yin and Chief Wang are both apprentices of the old eunuch in the past.
The old eunuch didn't want to offend people, so he recommended the two apprentices to the emperor.
The emperor couldn't choose which one was effective for a while, so he was promoted to deputy governor, and another one was promoted to chief manager in the future.
Fortunately, Mr. Yin and Mr. Wang followed the old boss from the beginning, and their relationship was better.
And Mr. Wang didn't want to be in the limelight, and listened to Mr. Yin in everything. Only then can the two live in peace.
If the two are equal and evenly matched, I am afraid they will not be able to get along peacefully.
When Jing Guiren received the lychee, he was surprised, so he asked, "Has the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom always paid us tribute?" ”
This matter, Mr. Wang knew it in his heart, so he said a few more words, "In the past, the southern Xinjiang country would also send people to send us lychees, but in the past, the two countries exchanged trade, and the gifts were exchanged, but this time it was different." It is the southern Xinjiang country that asks for our emperor. ”
"What do you mean?" Jing Guiren was puzzled.
"Hey, it's not that the old emperor of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom is seriously ill, and the prince is in a hurry to ascend the throne!" Speaking of this, Manager Wang quickly covered his mouth, regretting and being afraid, he slapped himself in the mouth.
"The minions should be damned, the minions are talking too much. Why don't minions have a long memory? ”
Mr. Wang's move, Jing Guiren smiled, how could she not guess what Mr. Wang thought in his heart? "Alright, you don't have to show me. I don't remember a word of what you just said. Put your heart in your belly! Go back and report to the emperor! Thank you for me, Your Majesty. ”
"Hey! The slave must bring the message to the emperor for the nobleman. Mr. Wang responded happily. I thought that this quiet noble person is good-tempered, and he is not embarrassed by the slave.
Yu Zhuo peeled the lychee for Jing Guiren, and carried it to Jing Guiren's mouth with a silver fork. Jing Guiren took a bite absentmindedly, and then asked Yuzhuo to put it down, she just came by herself.
Yu Zhuo said that peeling lychees hurt her nails, but she still peeled them off for Jing Guiren and put them on a plate.
This lychee, in the eyes of the people of Tanglin, is extremely precious. But for the Western Chu Kingdom, it is just an ordinary fruit. So Chu Shuyao didn't feel that it was strange and rare.
She thought about the affairs of the southern Xinjiang country by herself, and she didn't know the taste of eating lychees.
She still knows a thing or two about the situation in the southern Xinjiang country. This old emperor fell ill too suddenly. If you wait another two or three years, you can pave the way for the crown prince Jiang Zepu.
But if you swallow your breath now, if the crown prince Jiang Zepu wants to ascend the throne, it will still be difficult!
There are too many adult princes in the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom, and the prince's mother family is not prominent, and there is no family and nobles to rely on behind him, but he is slightly inferior to other princes.
However, half of the courtiers in the southern Xinjiang country support orthodoxy and support the crown prince, and if they want to come to Jiang Zepu, there is still a little more hope.
In both public and private, Chu Shuyao hoped that Jiang Zepu could ascend the throne smoothly. She knows Jiang Zepu's character, and she must be a benevolent emperor in the future. The emperor's benevolence is a good thing for the people of the world.
First, the people of the country live and work in peace and contentment. Second, there will be no wars and disputes for no reason. To protect the men of the world, there is no need to die on the battlefield, so as not to displace the people of the world.
However, it seems that Jiang Zepu's situation in the southern Xinjiang country is not good. Otherwise, he would not bow his head to the Tanglin Kingdom and ask for help from the Tanglin Kingdom.
Thinking so, Jing Guiren prepared to go to Concubine Xian Niangniang to talk.
Yuzhuo said that the lychee has been peeled, and if you don't eat it at this time, it will not be fresh if it is left for a long time.
Chu Shuyao wanted to say, that is what you haven't seen fresh lychees look like. This lychee sent from the southern Xinjiang country, where is the word fresh? It's not bad if it's not broken.
But looking at Yuzhuo's look of believing that Jing Guiren would be a tyrannical thing if he didn't eat it. Jing Guiren still chose to settle this matter tactfully.
Jing Guiren covered his stomach, "My stomach is not very comfortable, you can eat the lychees on the plate!" ”
What Jing Guiren said about you is Yuzhuo, Yurun, and Mama Kong. There are too few lychees, too many people, and they can't be separated.
Mama Kong and Yuzhuo Yurun, they were frightened and didn't dare to obey orders. Later, it was a flattered thousand thanks. It was like eating the elixir of Taishang Laojun, chewing and tasting the lychee slowly.
and praised the lychee in unison.
In fact, they don't just eat lychees, and they don't just praise lychees. This lychee represents a kind of rarity and nobility.
This is only available to the emperor and high-ranking concubines.
What a blessing it is for them to be able to eat it as slaves! Even if the lychee has been eaten steadily, they still can't believe it.
In the end, it was Mama Kong who accompanied Jing Guiren to Concubine Xian. This Yuzhuo and Yurun are young, and they are really excited and can't settle down.
Concubine Xian Niangniang's side is now the palace maid Feng'er who was brought from the Western Chu Kingdom. And the previous palace maids Rong'er and Xiu'er are also serving in the inner room, and they are still first-class palace maids, and their status remains unchanged.
But Concubine Xian is guarding against them, after all, Concubine Xian is not alone now. She still has a life in her womb.
As a mother, she is strong, and the virtuous concubine loves her children, so she naturally has to think about everything.
Jing Guigui and Concubine Xian had a secret conversation, but Concubine Xian became worried and scared. In the end, Jing Guiren made a final decision.
"In your name, everything will be arranged by me. It's going to be fine, you can rest assured! ”
When Jing Guiren said this, Concubine Xian nodded reluctantly.
After that, the Western Chu State received a secret letter from the virtuous concubine Niangniang of the Tanglin Kingdom, and the virtuous concubine Niangniang hoped that the Western Chu State could help Jiang Zepu, the crown prince of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom, ascend the throne and become emperor. I also wrote a few benefits succinctly.
The one who saw this secret letter was the regent Meng Yichen. Now the emperor of the Western Chu State. Are you drowsy in the dragon chair?
All affairs are decided by the regent Meng Yichen.
And Chu Yuege's secret letter is also in line with Meng Yichen's intentions. Originally, Meng Yichen planned to help Jiang Zepu ascend the throne and become emperor.
Meng Yichen looked at the secret letter and was fascinated, he didn't expect that Princess Chu Yuege, who had always lived in seclusion and cowardice, would be able to write such a valuable secret letter to herself.
There is a bit of Chu Shuyao's demeanor.
Thinking of Chu Shuyao, Meng Yichen's heart felt like he was being pierced by a thorn, and he felt a faint pain. He burned the secret letter, raised his eyes and looked at the young emperor on the high dragon chair, and fell into deep thought.
Shu Yao, if you knew what I did, would you hate me?
I'm sorry, I'm sorry Shuyao.
I really can't, I really can't ignore the blood and hatred of my family.
