"Your Majesty, don't worry. Although it is true that there are no ministers in the court who are willing to help the emperor do this, the emperor can re-select someone else to do it. It doesn't have to be a minister. ”

When Zhu Jianshen heard her say this, he became more and more confused, and he said, "Wan Guifei, I don't understand what you mean by this. ”

Wan Zhen'er looked at Zhu Jianshen and smiled, and said to him: "Your Majesty, what do you think, if the emperor can promote another person from the inner palace to deal with the Candle Shadow Shake Red and the Confession Gate, if there is anything else, you can also let him take responsibility." If he does well, then he will also become the emperor's confidant, so why bother to reuse the ministers. The ministers were certainly opposed to this. ”

In fact, what Wan Zhen'er said was just what Xia Li just said, she just repeated it.

Who knew that after Zhu Jianshen heard it, he applauded repeatedly.

He said: "Wan Guifei, no wonder Gu Leng has repeatedly praised you for your plan in front of me, and the idea you have come up with is really excellent. This method can not only deal with the candle shadow and confession, but also allow me to cultivate a force that is completely my own, which is really a good way to kill two birds with one stone. It's just that I still haven't figured out which eunuch in the inner court should take on such a heavy responsibility? ”

Wan Zhen'er smiled and said, "The concubine has a good candidate to recommend. ”

"Oh, who is that?" Zhu Jianshen was very interested.

Wan Zhen'er smiled and said to him: "This person is a member of the Yao clan, and he is a waiter of my Xianfu Palace. Don't look at this person who is silent on weekdays, in fact, he is a very set person. If the emperor gives him this matter, he will definitely be able to do everything for the emperor. ”

"What, a little Neiying?" Zhu Jianshen couldn't help but be a little unimpressed.

"Your Majesty, don't underestimate such a small internal response. Although he is just a small internal response, he has a deep relationship with the emperor, and I think the emperor will not regret it if he appoints him. ”

Zhu Jianshen saw that Wan Zhen'er said very strangely, and he was confused, so he said to Wan Zhen'er with some dissatisfaction: "Wan Guifei, if you have something to say, just say it, why bother beating around the bush here." Since this person is in your court, is he your confidant? ”

Wan Zhen'er had already guessed that Zhu Jianshen might be suspicious of herself, so she didn't want to say immediately: "Of course not, don't misunderstand, Your Majesty." This person has nothing to do with Zhen'er, and Zhen'er usually doesn't notice him, but it was one person who recommended him to Zhen'er. Zhen'er felt good after hearing what the man said, so she dared to propose it to the emperor. ”

"Oh, who recommended you Wan Zhen'er to the people in your Wan Zhen'er Palace?"

Zhu Jianshen immediately felt a little incredible, so he looked at Wan Zhen'er with suspicion.

Wan Zhen'er said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, in fact, the emperor and his concubines know the person who recommended this person to me, this person is not someone else, she is the emperor's new favorite Xia Guiren Xia." ”

"What, I recommended it to you? I have never cared about the affairs of the court and the court, so how could I suddenly recommend people in your court to you? Zhu Jianshen looked at Wan Zhen'er with some puzzlement.

Wan Zhen'er laughed, she smiled very brightly, and said: "Your Majesty, you don't know, this Xia Guiren was originally from the Yao tribe, but it was only because her ancestors opposed the court that she was confiscated into the palace as a slave." And Xia Guiren became the emperor's concubine by chance, and her cousin was Wang Zhi, the inner Ying in my court. Wang Zhi has not been used much in my court, and now Xia Guiren feels a little unhappy after seeing it. She said that her cousin was a very productive person, so she recommended her cousin to Zhen'a. Zhen'er didn't want to save Xia Guiren's face, and secondly, she wanted to help the emperor do this errand, so she dared to propose to the emperor to use people in her palace. If the emperor thinks that this Wang Zhi is unusable, then it should be that Zhen'er has not said it. ”

Zhu Jianshen listened to Wan Zhen'er's explanation, and said: "It turns out that this is the case, this is really cute, if she wants to reuse her cousin, she can come directly to me and me to make it clear, why bother to tell you to beg you." ”

Wan Zhen'er knew that Zhu Jianshen was very suspicious, and she was afraid that Zhu Jianshen would think that she had colluded with Xia.

Zhu Jianshen's least favorite thing in her life was such a thing, so she hurriedly explained to Zhu Jianshen: "Your Majesty, you don't know, it's not that you want to mention this matter to me." But that day was good enough to play in my palace, and I mentioned this matter to her as soon as I was convinced. I know that the emperor is a person you can trust, so there is no taboo. If the emperor wants to pursue it, please pursue the concubines. ”

After finishing speaking, Wan Zhen'er knelt down and kowtowed to Zhu Jianshen.

Zhu Jianshen saw her kneeling on the ground and her face changed miserably, as if she was really scared, and there was a sense of satisfaction in her heart.

He raised his hand and said, "Forget it, you leaked this matter privately, and I should indeed hold you responsible, but for the sake of your usual hard work for me, I won't pursue it with you this time." It's just that in the future, if you want to tell someone about this kind of thing, you must first get my consent, and you can't make your own decisions, understand? ”

Wan Zhen'er said with sincere fear: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Zhen'er has written it all down, and she won't dare to do it again." ”

Zhu Jianshen's intimidating words to Wan Zhen'er just now were just trying to establish his majesty.

In fact, he is also quite satisfied with Wan Zhen'er's proposal, if Wang Zhi can be reused, first, this Wang Zhi is a person in Wan Guifei's court, and Wan Guifei is easy to control and master.

Second, this person is a member of the Yao tribe, so he will definitely not have his own power in the court, let alone be loyal to others and not to himself.

Besides, he is a person who has been single-handedly pulled out by himself, and he will definitely be able to use it for himself in the future.

The most important thing is that he is Xia's cousin again, and Xia's favorite person is his favorite.

If Xia's cousin can be allowed to take charge of this matter, it will also be a comfort to Xia.

So Zhu Jianshen felt that his cousin who had lost his summer could always be trusted, so Zhu Jianshen immediately agreed to Wan Zhen'er's proposal.

He said to Wan Zhen'er: "Concubine Wan, what kind of official position do you think I will arrange for this Wang Zhi?" ”

When Wan Zhen'er heard him say this, she suddenly became a little embarrassed.

She said: "Your Majesty, after all, Wang Zhi is just a small chamberlain, and he is also a eunuch and a member of the Yao clan. If the emperor wants to give him a relatively large official position, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction and discussion among the people in the court. If the emperor does not give him a relatively large official position, then it will be difficult for him to convince the public. So it's a little difficult to deal with the confession door and the candle shadow shaking red, which is really a headache. ”

Zhu Jian said deeply: "If you don't have to worry or have a headache, what do I want to do with you." ”

So he was a little dissatisfied with Wan Zhen'er's statement in his heart, and he said coldly: "Concubine Wan, didn't you think about this matter before you came to see me?" ”

The implication is to blame her for not being thoughtful.

Wan Zhen'er hurriedly said to Zhu Jianshen: "Your Majesty, Zhen'er really didn't think about it, it was Zhen'er's mistake. Please don't blame Zhen'er, Zhen'er thinks about the emperor now. ”

Zhu Jianshen said a little unhappily: "Okay, then you can think about it quickly." Wait until you come up with a way to say to me, if you can't think of a way, don't leave the Qianqing Palace. ”

Obviously, Zhu Jianshen was very unhappy that Wan Zhen'er was not thoughtful about this matter.

Wan Zhen'er didn't dare to say much, because she knew that she had just been released from the Xianfu Palace now, and if she was not careful, she would be recaptured and confined in the Xianfu Palace.

At that time, it will not be a matter of a year and a half, maybe she will not agree to come out, if you ignore her, it will be a lifetime thing, she doesn't want to be locked up in the cold palace like the queen and will never come out.

It is true that the matter of the queen was caused by the queen, but it is not unrelated to her instigation of the queen.

And Queen Wang was a very indisputable person at the beginning, and she was very trusted by the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces and the eldest princess Jian Huaizhen.

She did bad things and ended up like this, and the bad things she Wan Zhen'er did have already been exhausted, and it can be said that she can't count them.

Wan Zhen'er knew that she was notorious in the harem, from the queen mother of the two palaces, the eldest princess Jian Huaizhen, to the palace maids and eunuchs, all of whom were resentful of what she had done.

So compared to others, Wan Zhen'er is more cautious and doesn't dare to make a mistake.

She knew that if she made a mistake, she would be doomed to her.

Wan Zhen'er thought for a long time, and finally said to Zhu Jianshen: "Your Majesty, the concubine has a way, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

"If you have any ideas, you might as well come and hear about it." Zhu Jianshen looked at Wan Zhen'er.

Wan Zhen'er thought for a while and said, "Because this Wang Zhiwang is a eunuch, the emperor might as well let him be in charge of the East Factory or the West Factory." If he can be in charge of the East Factory or the West Factory, he can also lead a large number of Jinyi guards to be the emperor's tight guards, protect the emperor, and help the emperor deal with rebellion. The most important thing is that if Gonggong Wang can be in charge of the East Factory or the West Factory for the emperor, the ministers of the court and the central government will not be able to say anything. ”

Zhu Jianshen heard Wan Zhen'er say this, and he felt that what Wan Zhen'er said was still very reasonable.

Because the East Factory and the West Factory, as well as the Jinyi Guard, have never been under the control of the courtiers, and these all belong to the emperor's Praetorian Guard.

Zhu Jian thought deeply for a long time and said, "Since this is the case, you might as well let Wang Zhi take charge of the West Factory." It's just that after you go back, you must tell Wang Zhi well, and let him pay attention to proportions when doing things, and don't go too far. Otherwise, when the eldest princess returns to the palace, she will definitely not settle with me so easily. ”

Wan Zhen'er said with trepidation: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Zhen'er has written it all down." ”

So, this is the end of the matter.

After Wan Zhen'er came back, she first told the news to the inner prison attendant.

Wang Zhi was originally just a small eunuch attendant in the Xianfu Palace, he looked very naïve, but he was only in his thirties, and the whole person seemed to belong to the kind of person who couldn't be found in the crowd at all, and there was nothing outstanding about it.

This made Wan Zhen'er feel very strange, Wan Zhen'er thought: "That summer looks so beautiful, this Wang Zhi looks like an ordinary person." ”

It's just that Wan Zhen'er deeply remembers one sentence, that is, people can't look good, and the sea can't fight, so she doesn't dare to look down on Wang Zhi.

Wang Zhi walked in and saw Wan Zhen'er first.

Wan Zhen'er waved her hand and said, "Father-in-law Wang, get up, this palace wants to ask you something." ”

Wang Zhi hurriedly stood aside, stood with his hands down, and said: "What's the matter, please ask the concubine to ask, Wang Zhi must know everything." ”

Wan Zhen'er was still very satisfied with his answer.

Wan Zhen'er opened her mouth and asked, "Then let me ask you something, do you know that Xia Guiren is Xia?" ”

Wang Zhi just replied briefly and said, "I know." ”

Wan Zhen'er saw that he was neither humble nor arrogant, and his answers to questions were short and powerful, not dragging his feet at all, but she couldn't help but look at him with admiration.

At least Wan Zhen'er felt that this person was not the kind of person whose scheming was particularly easy to expose, so Wan Zhen'er liked him a little at that time.

Wan Zhen'er asked: "Then the Xia nobles came to the palace in person, saying that you and she are cousins, is there such a thing?" ”

"Yes." Wang Zhi is still short and powerful.

Wan Zhen'er has already understood what the whole thing has happened.

So, she nodded and said, "Okay, in that case, then Bengong will come to ask you something, and you must answer to Bengong truthfully." ”

"Yes." Wang Zhi replied briefly.

Wan Zhen'er couldn't help crying and laughing, and thought: "She has been in the palace for so many years, no matter who she talks to, no one has answered her like this. It didn't seem like she had to think about answering her at all, but this Wang Zhi looked respectful to her, so that she couldn't find any mistakes. ”

She thought to herself that maybe it was because this Wang Zhi was from the Yao tribe, so she asked Wang Zhi.

She said: "Wang Zhi, Xia Guiren came to the palace, and she asked the palace to ask for a position for you in front of the emperor, let you be in charge of the West Factory, and let you be the governor of the West Factory." After you take charge of the West Factory, can you do your best for the emperor and think about the emperor's interests? ”

Wang Zhi still replied shortly but forcefully: "Qi Yu Niangniang, the slave will definitely be able to do it." ”

Wan Zhen'er didn't look like a lot of rhetoric when she saw him, but it made her feel very satisfied for a while.

If this Wang Zhi is really the kind of person who is full of rhetoric and thoughts, Wan Zhen'er will not have a good impression of him.

Because Wan Zhen'er knows that the kind of person who can only talk wildly and often does not do practical things is unreliable, but the kind of person who looks quiet on weekdays and actually works very hard is more worthy of praise.

This is in response to the saying, dogs that can bite don't bark, and dogs that can bark don't bite.

Wan Zhen'er thought about it, then nodded and said, "Since this is the case, this matter will be left to you to do." Tomorrow the emperor's decree will come down, and the first thing the emperor wants to send you to do will naturally be clear to you. When the time comes, you can just go to see the emperor. ”

Wan Zhen'er told him in advance.

That Wang Zhi hurriedly agreed.

So, Wan Zhen'er told him a few more words.

It's just that he didn't forget Wan Zhen'er's kindness or something, and sent him down.

After Wang went straight down, Wan Zhen'er's heart fluctuated, and she thought about a lot.

I don't know why she always had a feeling that she had inadvertently fallen into someone else's trap.

It seems that she has always had the upper hand in this matter, but I don't know why it actually makes her feel as if she is also a pawn of others and is being used by others, so she feels very blind for a while.

But she thought about it, and it seemed that things had been in her own hands from the beginning to the end, and she had always been in control of other people's destinies, not like others were in charge of their own destinies.

She couldn't help but feel a little depressed, and she thought about it for a long, long time, but she didn't understand what was going on.

Slowly, unconsciously, she fell asleep.

When it came to the next day, sure enough, the emperor's decree was issued and Wang Zhi was appointed as the governor of Xichang.

When Wang Zhi heard the news, he was very calm and calm, ignoring the comments of others.

He just stood there silently, as if he had expected this to happen.

His calmness makes others feel very strange, and it is precisely because of his calmness that others feel incredible.

Everyone didn't expect that they would have such a talent as Wang Zhi hidden in their palace, and no one would find out for so long.

Everyone was talking, but Wang Zhi was calm.

Wang Zhi changed from an obscure small Neiying in an instant to being in charge of the West Factory and controlling the power of life and death.

After Wang directly made the holy decree and became the governor of Xichang, the first thing he did was to go to the Qianqing Palace to meet the emperor, and the emperor sat on the dragon chair.

After Wang Zhi came in, he immediately bowed his head and bowed, everything was in order, as if everything had been carefully trained.

The emperor looked at Wang Zhi's actions, and saw that he didn't look like a little Neiying who had never seen the market, but did everything perfectly, and Zhu Jianshen couldn't help but praise him.

A trace of rising ink flashed in Zhu Jianshen's eyes, and he said to Wang Zhi: "Wang Zhi, the reason why I promoted you to the Governor of Xichang today is that I hope you can serve me wholeheartedly, I don't know if you can do it?" ”

Wang Zhi nodded again and again, and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, the minister will definitely do his best for the emperor to die." The emperor asked the ministers to do whatever the ministers did, and the ministers would only listen and not ask. No matter what the emperor asks the minister to do, the minister will never refute it, and is willing to go to the soup for the emperor. ”
