Chapter 13: Reward
Kunning Palace!
The light was slightly dim, and there were only two people in the empty hall, Empress Dowager Zhang and Gonggong Wen, Empress Zhang's face was calm, and Gonggong Wen knelt at her feet respectfully, reporting everything that happened to the food supervisor, and the person who had just peeped secretly was him.
He was worried that Zhang Chongshan and Su Shan would not be able to do their jobs well, so he deliberately went over to stare at them.
Syllable!
After Gonggong Wen finished speaking, Empress Dowager Zhang's calm face was filled with unconcealable anger, and her right hand was also slapped heavily on several cases, and after a pause, she hated iron and reprimanded,
"This Zhang Chongshan, it is really not enough to succeed and more than to lose, it is too disappointing for the mourning family, if it weren't for the little eunuch named Su Shan, this matter would have been messed up by him, and it would have ruined the mourning family!"
"The Queen Mother ...... Anger"
Gonggong Wen hurriedly got up and came behind the Empress Dowager Zhang, rubbed her back, and before he could continue to speak, Zhang Chongshan's deep voice came from outside the hall,
"Humblingly begging to see the Queen Mother!"
"Announce them in!"
Empress Dowager Zhang took a deep breath, the anger on her cheeks quickly disappeared, and she returned to her previous calm, and then, Zhang Chongshan took Su Shan and walked into the hall respectfully.
"How's it going?"
Empress Dowager Zhang's gaze swept over the two of them, and finally landed on Zhang Chongshan, and there was still a trace of imperceptible anger flickering.
"Returning to the Queen Mother, the lowly has captured the criminal Shao Dahai alive, and luckily caught another eunuch who wanted to get rid of him, and now he is imprisoned in the Imperial Horse Prison and sent someone to guard him strictly. ”
Zhang Chongshan's swarthy face was filled with a hint of pride, and he arched his hand.
"Got someone? and caught one more?"
Empress Dowager Zhang's eyes flickered, and her fingers wearing gilded armor also lightly scratched over several cases, and then asked,
"How was the arrest going, and did you get into any trouble?"
"This ......"
Zhang Chongshan was stunned for a moment, his expression changed on his dark face, and he thought for a moment and said,
"There are some troubles, and it is a coincidence that Chen Ting, the chief manager of the imperial dining room, also got the news, and was ordered by the master of ceremonies Hu Gonggong to investigate the matter, he intended to prevent us from taking away the prisoners, and he also used the law of the inner court as a shield, but ...... Eventually I ...... We've got people in our hands anyway!"
"Hoo ......"
The Queen Mother listened to Zhang Chongshan's report, the disappointment in the depths of her eyes was even stronger, she frowned, leaned forward a little, and asked in a low voice,
"We?...... And someone else to help?"
"Uh......"
The look on Zhang Chongshan's face became more and more embarrassed, and he was a little cramped, hesitated for a moment, and then said reluctantly,
"It's me and Su ......"
"Back to the Queen Mother, it was the slave and Commander Zhang who joined forces and broke in, which arrested Shao Dahai and the eunuch who tried to kill people, if it wasn't for Commander Zhang's decision, this matter would definitely not have gone so smoothly, thanks to Commander Zhang!"
At this time, Su Shan suddenly raised his head and said first.
"Yes, yes, yes, that's right, we teamed up and broke in!"
Zhang Chongshan showed a look of relief on his face, and said with a little sneer, although he didn't know why the Queen Mother asked about the details of the matter, but he knew that if he retreated at that time and sent someone to get the transfer order to tell the matter, the Queen Mother would definitely clean up her own!
He sneered and glanced at Su Shan, with a deep sense of gratitude in his eyes, this little eunuch is really good, he knows to give himself a step.
"I see!"
Empress Dowager Zhang looked at Zhang Chongshan's appearance, the disappointment on her face was even stronger, she sighed softly, and said,
"Immediately made a decision, broke in, and avoided Shao Dahai being killed, you can continue to investigate this matter, Zhang Chongshan, you have done a good job, and the mourning family has to reward you." ”
"Don't dare to be a lowly position! Doing things for the Queen Mother is a lowly duty!"
Although Zhang Chongshan said this, his face showed a smug look that was difficult to hide.
"Five thousand taels of silver, go get it yourself!"
Empress Dowager Zhang shook her head lightly and said in a low voice, Zhang Chongshan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly gave up his hand, but before he could speak, Empress Dowager Zhang had already waved her hand to interrupt, and then looked at Su Shan, who was kneeling on the ground, and said softly,
"Get up and be obedient!"
"Slave Empress Dowager Xie!"
Su Shan got up from the ground, but he still bowed his body to almost ninety degrees, not daring to be disrespectful in the slightest.
Empress Dowager Zhang looked at his appearance, the color of approval on her face was even stronger, she nodded slightly, and said,
"Su Shan, from beginning to end of this matter, you risked your life to report it, and cooperated with Zhang Chongshan to break into the food supervisor to arrest people, but you can take the first credit, the mourning family can't treat you badly, tell me, what do you want?"
"The slave only wants to be loyal to the Queen Mother, and he doesn't dare to ask for anything else!"
Su Shan's eyes flickered, and he knelt on the ground again.
What he said was just right, one sentence was loyal to the Queen Mother, which showed his intention to surrender to sincerity, and another sentence did not dare to ask for anything else, and it was more obvious that he was loyal, he just wanted to do things for the Queen Mother, and he didn't care about anything else!
He believes that Empress Dowager Zhang can understand!
"Huh...... Good, good, very well said!"
Sure enough, Empress Dowager Zhang's face showed more obvious approval, she clapped her hands gently, nodded and smiled,
"From today on, you don't have to go to the imperial dining room to serve, the mourning family promoted you to the head of the imperial horse supervisor, this position was originally the fifth grade, but you have been in the palace for too short a time, and there is no rank at present, rashly promoted so much, it is against the rules of the palace, so you are tentatively designated as the deputy sixth grade, and if you perform well in the future, the mourning family will make up for you!"
"Are you satisfied?"
"Slave thank the Queen Mother!"
When Su Shan heard this, his face was filled with unconcealable excitement, and he hurriedly kowtowed three times.
The deep voice was audible.
Of course he was satisfied, and he was so satisfied, even overjoyed!
The Imperial Horse Supervisor, that is in charge of the four guards of the Tengxiang Camp in the inner court, guarding the royal safety at close range, and the only existence that can compete with the Master of Ceremonies, and the Imperial Horse Supervisor is in charge, and the third existence after the Imperial Horse Supervisor's palm seal and the Admiral, this kind of position, for Su Shan, this is absolutely a smooth progress!
Of course, what Su Shan is more satisfied with is not this, but the meaning of this reward.
The Imperial Horse Supervisor is the absolute descendant of the Empress Dowager Zhang, she let herself enter the Imperial Horse Eunuch, and she is in charge of important positions, which shows that she has completely recognized herself and trusted herself, and she is truly in the eyes of the Queen Mother!
"The slave is determined to be loyal and dutiful for the Queen Mother, and he will die!"
Su Shan was really excited, and after kowtowing, he said loudly again.
"Okay, okay, your loyal mourner understands that there is enough trouble today, and the mourning family is tired, so you can go down!"
Empress Dowager Zhang showed a faint tiredness on her face and waved her hand.
"Retire from your duties!"
"The minions are gone!"
Zhang Chongshan and Su Shan gave up their hands respectively, and then withdrew from the Kunning Palace!
"Hoo ......"
The hall was quiet again, only the Empress Dowager Zhang and Gonggong Wen were left, the atmosphere was silent for a moment, the Empress Dowager Zhang shook her head, sighed a little helplessly, and said,
"This Zhang Chongshan is really too disappointing to the mourning family, if it weren't for Su Shan's desperate efforts, he would have been able to catch Shao Dahai alive? The mourning family reminded him three times and twice and forced him, he was still shameless, and he wanted to steal the credit? Even Su Shan heard it, and took the initiative to give him the stairs, he was still like a fool......"
"What a fool, waste! How can the mourning family have such a nephew?!"
Speaking of this, the anger on Empress Dowager Zhang's face couldn't help it, she suddenly lifted the carved dragon glazed jade cup in her hand, and slammed it on the ground, the priceless jade cup was shattered, and the green broken jade was sprinkled all over the ground.
"The Queen Mother is angry!"
Gonggong Wen on the side hurriedly knelt on the ground and persuaded,
"Although Commander Zhang's move is biased, it is also out of prudence, he is truly loyal to you, and he has never had two hearts, as for the matter of grabbing merit, it is also human nature......
"Humph!"
The anger on Empress Dowager Zhang's face weakened a little, and she sighed helplessly again, and said in a low voice,
"If it weren't for his loyalty, the mourning family would have let him go back to his hometown a long time ago!"
"Yes, yes, the Queen Mother is relieved, the phoenix body matters!"
Seeing that Empress Dowager Zhang's anger had weakened a little, Gonggong Wen breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly got up to clean up the broken jade pieces.
Empress Dowager Zhang was quiet for a moment and said in a low voice,
"Su Shan's little eunuch is really good, he has the courage and strategy, he dares to really break into the food supervisor, and when facing Hu Yong's old thing, he has no fear, he is as calm as a mountain, which really impresses the mourning family!"
"The mourning family just saw that the injury on his hand doesn't seem to be light, Wen Dui, you take the time to go over and take a look on behalf of the mourning family......"
"Slaves obey!"
Gonggong Wen bowed and kowtowed.
