When Cao De heard this, he immediately said gratefully: "Lord Zuo Xiang's words have raised the minion. ”

Although he is the head of the palace, he still has no status at all in front of people like Zuo Xiang.

But now Zuo Xiang has improved his status with one sentence, and he has a little more dignity......

Thinking of this, he didn't hide much, and relayed the words that Emperor Fenghe instructed him as they were: "The emperor ordered the old slave to pass a message to you, so that you can arrange some people to watch this year's new champion, if it is not necessary, you don't need to make a move." ”

"This year's new champion has been decided?"

Su Quan held the teacup in his left hand, picked up the tea lid with his right hand, gently stirred the tea leaves, frowned slightly, fell into deep thought, and slowly spoke, as if asking casually.

Cao De thought for a few breaths and replied: "Although it is decided, the emperor list will not be posted until tomorrow." ”

Hearing this, Zuo Xiang frowned slightly, took a sip of tea, and began to guess the intentions of Emperor Fenghe.

And Cao De's cup of tea had been drunk, he looked up at the sky outside the main hall, and then got up and said goodbye: "My lord, it's not early, and the old slave has already brought the words, and it is time to return to the palace." ”

Su Quan got up and said politely: "Why don't Gonggong Cao stay and use the evening food before leaving?" ”

Cao De is the chief eunuch, and he has no real power in his hands, so his status is naturally inferior to those of them who have official positions.

Therefore, some people who look down on people and see the wind steering the rudder will not save face for him.

But for Su Quan, no matter what, this Cao De is also carefully served by the emperor's side, as long as he is the emperor's person, he can get a good face.

"This ...... The emperor is still waiting for the old slave to return to the palace to resume his life, it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, the adults are happy, and the old slave understands it. ”

In the end, he couldn't help but mention it again: "As for the matter ordered by the emperor, please take it to heart." ”

"Hmm." Su Quan nodded in response.

After Cao De left the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, Su Quan smiled, stood with his hands in his hands, stood at the door of the main hall, looked at the direction of the gate of the mansion, and was silent for a long time.

"Adult ......"

At this time, another middle-aged man stood behind Su Quan, shouting respectfully and solemnly.

Su Quan didn't even look back, he had already guessed who was coming, and he said, "Ah Zhong, check the young man who was on duty at the gate today." In addition, the palace examination list will be posted tomorrow, you go and help me see who this year's new champion is. ”

When the middle-aged man who was called "Ah Zhong" heard this, he did not complain at all, and hurriedly replied: "Don't worry, the adults know what to do." ”

He has been on an errand in the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion for more than ten years, and finally sat in the position of housekeeper, and now his knowledge is different from the past, and he even has his own unique opinions.

Of course, to make a living in the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, the most important thing is loyalty, followed by strength......

Xu is aware of the ranking of tomorrow's palace test, and the place where the imperial list was posted in the past is already crowded at the moment.

Xie Rui was surrounded by a group of people, at a loss, and he couldn't use force, after all, these people around him had no ill will towards him.

"How old are you, young man? Which son is it? Did you say yes? ”

It was a woman who spoke, and when she saw that Xie Rui was strong and strong, she stopped him and wanted to kiss him.

Xie Rui only felt that one head was bigger than two, and finally became wise in a hurry, and said: "My parents are dead, I am lonely, and now I am wandering around...... Auntie has an idea to say goodbye to the next? Thank you in advance! ”
