Chapter 14: The Confused Ministry of Works

Jiang Ling was convinced.

It was the first time she had been convinced of a person.

Xu Shouyun's thinking is too tricky, and it is not something that ordinary people can think of at all.

Even the solutions are very different.

It's a pity that this kind of talent can't be used openly, and it can only rely on this method, which is a pity.

"Your idea is very good, I will inform the empress, and if I take power at that time, I will definitely promote you."

Jiang Ling spoke, she was a little impatient now.

Hearing the promotion, Xu Shouyun was immediately overjoyed: "Thank you, congratulations to your lordship, you will rise to power as soon as possible, and then your subordinates will unite with your lords, harm the Great Wei, and serve Emperor Chu." ”

Xu Shouyun is a little happy, who is not happy about such a thing as promotion? Today's situation can be seen that being an official is really cool.

Originally, he was going to be beaten, but he didn't expect to be promoted to a first-class eunuch, and he escaped being beaten, not to mention, Wang Gui was still respectful to himself.

If you improve a few more grades, it will be cool and crooked.

Jiang Ling left, Xu Shouyun was not verbose, and took advantage of the dark night to return to his residence.

However, as soon as he returned to the courtyard, he met a middle-aged eunuch who returned to his room with a lantern.

The two glanced at each other, Xu Shouyun smiled, and was about to say two good words when the latter's voice sounded first.

"Lord Xu?"

There was curiosity in his eyes.

Xu Shouyun was a little curious, how did the other party know his name.

"Your Excellency, are you?"

Xu Shouyun asked.

"Oh, slave maid Li Jing, who is in charge of the affairs of Yuanning Palace, I heard that Lord Xu has been appreciated by His Majesty, and I really envy the slave maid."

The other party walked briskly, smiling all over his face.

Xu Shouyun was appreciated by the emperor, and this matter had spread all over the palace, after all, they had not seen the emperor much since the empress ascended the throne.

The empress is like this, there are three thousand beauties in the harem, the problem is that the empress doesn't like it, and she focuses on national affairs.

In the past, when Emperor Renzong was here, at least he would come to pamper a certain concubine from time to time, and by the way, these eunuchs would also be rewarded, so it was not surprising.

It's different now, it's a good thing to be able to see the emperor in person, not to mention being appreciated by His Majesty.

Such a person, no matter what, has a better future than these eunuchs, so he has to stammer when he sees it.

"It turned out to be Gonggong Li, Yuanning Hall is Concubine Zhou's bedroom, not far from Concubine Liu, and you can travel with you in the future."

Xu Shouyun smiled and spoke.

As soon as the latter heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I will ask Lord Xu to take care of it in the future, and take care of it more." ”

Li Jing smiled and spoke, but Xu Shouyun obviously felt that Li Jing's qi and blood were relatively strong, and it could be judged by virtue of his qi that Li Jing was at least a seventh-rank martial artist.

A seven-rank martial artist, placed in the army, the little commander can't run away, but he didn't expect to be just a first-class eunuch in the palace.

This is really a tyrannical thing.

After a few brief words, the two went back to their respective houses.

I have to go to Concubine Liu's bedroom tomorrow to serve, and I don't know what will happen.

An hour later.

In the palace, several figures appeared and came to the outside of the Heart Cultivation Palace.

"Your Majesty, Li Jie, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Meng Chen, a scholar, and Liu Yun, the imperial historian of the Inspectorate, are already waiting outside the palace."

Outside the Heart Cultivation Palace, the voice of the eunuch sounded, breaking the silence.

"Enter the temple."

In the hall, Chu Yunrou's voice sounded, calm and indifferent.

At that moment, the door of the hall opened, and the three courtiers slowly walked into the hall, but their eyes were a little different from each other.

They were curious about what the emperor summoned them for.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

The three of them entered the hall and worshiped the empress, and in front of the jade case, Jiang Ling's eyes fell on the song, and then he spoke: "I heard that Master Li Jie is from the Suyun area, right?" ”

Jiang Ling opened his mouth to ask, this question was a little inexplicable.

But Li Jie didn't dare to be verbose, and replied directly: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister is indeed from Su Yun's area." ”

After receiving the answer, Jiang Ling did not rush to ask, but watched the fold, concentrated, and after a long while, he approved the fold.

Immediately, he continued to speak: "Where is Su Yun?" ”

As soon as this question came out, the three of them were a little confused, and they called us over in the middle of the night to ask this kind of thing?

But the other party is the emperor, and Li Jie can only answer honestly.

In this way, the next questions of the Empress of Great Wei became more and more strange and abstract.

"Suzhou?"

"Is there any food in Suzhou?"

"What else?"

"How does it taste?"

"Oh, is there any allusion to Suzhou? I want to learn. ”

Jiang Ling's question was indeed boring, so much so that the other two ministers were a little tired.

In the end, after grinding back and forth for half an hour, Jiang Ling began to ask another person, and the questions were the same as before, all of which were non-nutritious words.

In this way, it was an hour and a half, and I thought that this was the end and we could talk about the topic, but I didn't expect a eunuch to bring breakfast.

"The three Aiqing are loyal to my Great Wei, and they work hard all day long, which can be regarded as hard work for you, this is the Eight Treasures Treasure Soup in the palace, which can replenish qi and nourish the body, you drink it slowly."

The three of them didn't understand the situation a little, but His Majesty still had to drink.

The soup was extremely hot, and the three of them blew it for a while, and after drinking it, they were indeed comfortable, but it wasted another three or four quarters of an hour.

In this way, the three of them rested for a while, and the empress's voice sounded.

"Okay, three Aiqing, it's not too early, let's go back and rest early."

Jiang Ling spoke up, making the three of them completely stunned.

Call us over at night, really ask the east and the west?

Your Majesty, do you have cat cakes in your brains?

The three of them were really a little speechless, and thought that there was something big, so they called them over overnight, just to ask where they came from and what specialties and delicacies they had at home?

Are you sick?

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

But no matter what, the three of them still bowed their heads, said long live, and left the hall.

When the three of them left the main hall until they walked out of the palace, Liu Yun's voice sounded.

"What is Your Majesty's intention in calling us over this time? I thought I was going to talk about changing rice to mulberry, but what does that mean? ”

"yes, I thought so on the way here, I thought about the rhetoric, what does this mean?"

Meng Chen, a scholar, was also a little incomprehensible.

"I don't know, what does he care about, anyway, the matter of changing rice to mulberry, the elder has already determined, the rights and wrongs behind this are too big, let's not get involved."

"If Your Majesty asks, we will say the pros and cons, no one will be offended, and this matter must not be involved."

Li Jie opened his mouth, they are the most stable neutrals, they just want to do their own things well, and they don't want to cause trouble.

That's all.

"Well, don't make trouble."

"You really can't get into trouble."

The two seconded the motion.

And in the Heart Cultivation Palace, after the three of them left completely, Jiang Ling spoke.

"Inform the arrival of these three people today, all the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace are not allowed to spread the word, and those who violate the order will be severely punished."

Jiang Ling spoke, and Chu Yunrou on the side was also a little incomprehensible.

But the emperor's order, she will not refuse.

It's just that it's okay if this order is not transmitted, and as soon as it is transmitted, some eunuchs suddenly become active.
