Chapter 25: Is it tolerable, but it is intolerable.
The process of seeing Emperor Longzheng is not something to write about. The time when Jia Lian entered the palace was just after the end of the early dynasty, and Emperor Longzheng returned to the Zichen Hall of Daming Palace to start managing the government.
Jia Lian's current position is not on such a high platform. So I didn't even see him, so I just let Jia Lian kowtow outside the door and leave.
Jia Lian himself understood this approach, so he didn't think much about it. Don't say that you came unlucky, that is, when Emperor Longzheng was fine, with the size of the Jia family and the identity of Jia Lian, it is normal for Emperor Longzheng not to appear.
What Jia Lian didn't know was that not long after he left, after Emperor Long Zheng had finished handling important official business and sent away several ministers in the cabinet, an inconspicuous eunuch walked into the study of Zichen Palace.
In the eyes of outsiders, among the eunuchs in the court of the Longzheng Dynasty, in addition to the ancestors of the eunuchs in the palace who served the Emperor Taishang, Liang Jian, the chief eunuch of Jiuhua Palace, and Mu Zeen, the chief eunuch of the Empress Dowager, Xia Shouzhong, the eunuch of the Six Palaces, who was responsible for the life and living of Emperor Longzheng, and Dai Quan, the eunuch who was responsible for communicating between the inner court and the outer dynasty, were respected.
But in fact, only a few people know that Emperor Longzheng has an intelligence agency that he has established single-handedly, Zhongche Fu.
And the head of the CRRC Mansion, Su Cheng, is probably the most trusted eunuch by Long Zheng's side.
It's just that Su Cheng is usually too low-key, and there are not many people who know him.
Seeing Su Cheng coming in, Emperor Long Zheng smiled with a cold face. In Emperor Longzheng's opinion, this eunuch who grew up with him since he was a child, but was only a few years older, was probably one of the very few people who did not need to be guarded.
It is precisely because of him that Emperor Longzheng has a reassuring rear in the treacherous court struggle.
"How? I didn't see him, what did Jia Lian react to. But there is a sense of resentment. ”
Su Cheng recalled Jia Lian's expression at that time, nodded affirmatively and said, "No, General Jia seems to be prepared for the emperor not to see him, and he doesn't have any surprised expression, he looks ordinary." His face was full of gratitude to the emperor. ”
Emperor Long Zheng snorted when he heard Su Cheng's words: "It's rare that you are in the mood to say good things to others, it's really not easy." I heard that Donglai Shun opened by Jia Lian has become the hottest restaurant in Shenjing, and it can be said that Rijin is making money, is he giving you silver. ”
If it was an ordinary eunuch, even if it was Dai Quan and Xia Shouzhong, they would be so frightened that they would kneel down and beg for mercy when they heard Emperor Longzheng's words.
Since Emperor Longzheng succeeded to the throne, he has not adjusted much to the constraints of the Foreign Dynasty due to insufficient control and Jiuhua Palace. But in the inner court, except for Jiuhua Palace and Cining Palace, the eunuchs in the rest of the places basically understood a truth.
That is, Emperor Longzheng is really ruthless.
However, Su Cheng didn't care too much, don't say that he didn't accept anything valuable from Jia Lian, he didn't show up in front of Jia Lian.
Even if he accepted it, Su Cheng also knew that his master would not say anything.
Sometimes he felt aggrieved for Emperor Longzheng. Back then, the Jingning Dynasty and the Yongan Dynasty really regarded the fate of the eunuchs as a mustard.
Emperor Shengzu reigned for twenty-eight years, and the thousands of eunuchs in the palace almost changed. Every time the Holy Ancestor had a eunuch who couldn't look at him, he would take advantage of the death of a palace concubine or other nobleman in the palace and issue a martyrdom. At the most, the Holy Ancestor's favorite concubine Ning Guifei died of illness, and the Holy Ancestor directly martyred all the eighty-eight eunuchs and sixty-five palace maids who served her.
When he arrived in the Yong'an Dynasty, the Emperor Taishang probably wanted to accumulate blessings for himself. The burial of the living was abolished.
But for the eunuchs in the palace, the emperor also didn't care much. In the fourth year of Yong'an, because there was a eunuch in the palace who collaborated with the enemy, the Emperor Dasuo Six Palaces, killed more than 200 people in one go. is an example.
When he came to his own emperor, the emperor took a fancy to life. After more than four years on the throne, in addition to the unforgivable crime, even the eunuchs and palace maids did not kill anyone in vain, and the guilt was only a rod of blame.
It's just like this, Emperor Shengzu and Emperor Taishang both left the name of Renjun, and Emperor Longzheng was scolded as cruel. It's also interesting.
However, Su Cheng also knew that the emperor didn't care about this. When he was still in the palace, there was almost no one in the court to support the emperor, but the kings of Yiping and Yizhong at that time were very loud.
The emperor didn't care. is just dedicated to doing things for the court, he once said: "Dedicated to the country, not for oneself, knowing that I am guilty of me, it is only spring and autumn." ”
Fortunately, Emperor Taishang is a saint, and he chose the best master for Da Zheng.
"What are you thinking?" The emperor's voice came from above the jade steps, and a spirit in Su City, damn it, actually lost his mind.
Su Cheng hurriedly knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty.
Emperor Long Zheng was very patient with this companion he had since childhood, and he just asked: "You rarely lose your rudeness in front of the emperor, what were you thinking just now?" ”
Naturally, it was impossible for Sioux City to tell the previous story again. He just said: "The slave maid is just curious, why does the emperor take such a fancy to the young man of the Jia family." The luck of the Jia family has been used up on the first Rongguo, can this Jia Lian compare to the Rongguo Gong back then? ”
Emperor Long Zheng smiled slightly: "That's maybe, you look at it, this kid will be of great use to me in the future." Keep an eye on him, and you should report his news to me at any time. ”
Su Cheng thought about it again and asked, "The emperor put him in the Nanzhen Mansion, but he wants him to help a group of Lord Lin in Yangzhou." ”
Emperor Long Zheng nodded: "That's right, Lin Aiqing contributed to me in Yangzhou, and there were too many enemies. The situation in Yangzhou is complicated, and CRRC should not be moved lightly to avoid exposure.
This time, it's just for Jia Lian to break through. Lin Aiqing is Jia Lian's uncle, and the daughter of the Duke of Rongguo married to Yangzhou to have this relationship, and Jia Lian will contribute. ”
Su Cheng saw that the emperor had no other orders, so he nodded and retreated. He knew that the next thing was his task, to arrange a scene in Jiangnan, and let the Nanzhen Mansion send people to Jiangnan.
At the same time, Yangzhou, Yanyuan Yamen.
The current Yangzhou Salt Patrol Imperial Shi Lin Ruhai's emaciated cheeks were full of anger.
Although for the sake of the emperor, he did something excessive. But Lin Ruhai asked himself that he still had a bottom line.
But this group of bastards is simply too much. There is no bottom line at all, and he actually made a move on the back house of the Yanyuan Yamen. His wife and sister-in-law, who was just one year old, also became the target of their attack. It just doesn't make sense.
If it weren't for the protection of a few masters given by his father-in-law back then, the eldest brother would almost have gone.
It's tolerable, it's unbearable.
