Wanli Xinming

Chapter 77
The night in late spring is the time when the temperature is comfortable.

Outside the warm pavilion of Bailu Palace, Sun Long and Wei Chao waited outside with the relevant people who were serving the emperor. Dozens of men and women did not hear a word.

After waiting in the quiet for too long, Wei Chao had nothing to say to the eunuch Sun Long of the Qianqing Palace: "Director Chen Chang has been in for half an hour. It's really a saint."

Sun Long smiled and said to Wei Chao, "You monkey cub has hot eyes?"

Wei Chao sighed and said, "How old am I? If I can be like Chen Changdu, who is 36 and seven years old and can work as a pen and factory supervisor, I can wake up from my dreams with a smile. Otherwise, I can be regarded as a glorious ancestor like Zhang Cheng."

Sun Long sighed: "You and I, people without roots, talk about honoring the ancestors and honoring the ancestors. I only hated the poverty, so I took this road. As long as there are two acres of thin fields to guard the hard life, it is better than no roots."

When Wei Chao heard this, his heart was touched.With a sigh, he said in a low voice, "Master, we have been serving the emperor for a long time, and we can't hold back our urine. What should we do? Even though I put two pieces of gauze on it, it's all worth it."

Sun Long said: "It's your class's turn, you can't drink water or eat an hour earlier. If you can't bear to be hungry, you can carry two pieces of candy and eat one when you feel dizzy."

In fact, the Wei Dynasty knew this common sense. Because he wanted to curry favor with Sun Long, he pretended not to understand.Hearing Sun Long's intention to take care of him, he climbed along the pole and said, "Thank you for your suggestion, it took us two years to sweep the land before being recommended by my godfather to the emperor. My godfather is often not in the palace, but there is no one here who cares about me. ."

Hearing that he wanted to worship his godfather, Sun Long smiled and said, "You are not satisfied. Eunuch Zhang Jing is a popular man in front of the royal family. With such a solid backer, what are you thinking about? Besides, I am the general manager and you are the companion. Don't mess around."

Wei Chao also understood this common sense, but he still expressed his flattery when he said this.

At this time in the hall, Zhu Yijun had already explained to Chen Ju all the requirements for the abolition of the East Factory.The abolition of the East Factory is the second major operation performed by Zhu Yijun on the court.

Different from the previous restructuring, Zhu Yijun is very cautious when it comes to Chen Ju's next arrangement.

After careful consideration, Chen Ju can only be reused, not dismissed.In this conversation, Zhu Yijun first gave some vague praise to Chen Ju for taking over the work of the East Factory for a year. When the topic changed, he made a few remarks about the bribery and extortion in the East Factory.

After the rubbing was over, Chen Ju's best result was when he returned to the Slijian and was still writing a pen, Zhu Yijun concluded: "In the past year, I have seen that you are not in the East Factory, so I insisted on being quiet, and I am more concerned about the prisoners in the factory. It means security, not a person who is good at spying on the direction of intelligence." Chen Ju listened and knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Zhu Yijun waved his hand to wake him up, and continued, "I'm not criticizing you. It's just that you've been paying attention to the political situation and the economy, and you often make comments that are economical for the world and the people. You can also be honest and self-contained - you're the material of a civil servant."

When Chen Ju heard this, beads of sweat oozed from his head.He entered the palace in the 26th year of Jiajing when he was only nine years old.In the palace, he was deeply influenced by his ears and eyes, and he also knew how Shizong and Muzong used the methods of their ministers.

Today, I was rubbed by the emperor of twelve years old, and I deeply realized that it is not easy to be an official and an eunuch under a monarch who is discerning and decisive.He knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "The emperor does not regard slaves as being stupid, and places slaves where they are critical, but slaves are not."

Zhu Yijun waved his hand to interrupt, and smiled: "Don't panic. I still want to use you a lot. Zhang Hong is old, but you are young and powerful. Don't be discouraged at this time."

Zhu Yijun said: "I want to set up an attendant's room, set up a court minister, and prefer the British public. The British public is older, how to deal with complicated matters? In the future, you will help him carry half of this burden."

Chen Ju listened and exchanged tears.Choked and said: "The slaves will do their best, and they will die!"

When Zhu Yijun heard this, he laughed loudly and said, "Do you think that the servant's room is a dragon pool and a tiger's den? How can I use you to go through fire and water? My idea is that in the future, internal and external officials, all those who are of great use, will all be in the servant room, and they will be arrested. I have been training for a few years. As a representative of the inner court, in the future, you will assist me in clarifying the inner palace in the attendant room. It is not a small responsibility. Well, I ask you to be cautious in doing things and have the heart to correct the wrongs." Chen Ju listened, and only thanked him. Just a royal kindness.

Zhu Yijun waited for him to calm down from the ecstasy, and then continued: "Under the ministers of the palace, I want to set up a walking minister of the inner court. According to my idea, first clarify the boundaries of the duties of the walking minister of the inner court. Coordination and communication between them or even negotiation, after careful consideration, come up with regulations for writing and handling errands. From tomorrow, you can ponder this matter.”

When Zhu Yijun finished explaining his conception of the entire functional positioning of the servant room, the time was right.

Chen Ju took a dozen notes, and finally concluded: "The emperor set up an attendant's room, divided the authority of the supervisor of ceremonies and the cabinet, with the main purpose of reconciling in the center, smashing the bottle, and mixing the decrees. The minister has understood. Conscientious, the minister is far behind!"

Zhu Yijun heard him fully understand what he meant, nodded and said, "It's easy to find a loyal one in the palace. It's not easy to find a loyal and sensible one. You do it well." Chen Ju knelt down again, wishing he could open his chest and put the A red heart was taken out and shown to Zhu Yijun.

After talking about the political affairs, Zhu Yijun asked, "Is there anything suspicious about the death of Concubine Qi?" In fact, Zhu Yijun already had the answer in his heart, and asking at this time was just a test of Chen Ju's loyalty.

Chen Ju pondered for a while, and then Fang replied: "Your Majesty, Concubine Qi's body has been inspected by the minister with a skilled hand. It was indeed a blunt blow to death. But it should not have been hit by the glazed tiles on the top of the Ningcui Hall."

Zhu Yijun couldn't see what he expected, and there was no fluctuation on his face.He nodded calmly and said, "Go ahead."

Chen Ju said: "I received a hint from the emperor that night and checked it carefully in the Ningcui Hall. The long couch where the concubine played Shuanglu showed signs of movement. Because it was covered by the broken tiles and dust on the roof of the hall, it was difficult to find it carefully. Discovery. Only this one is for those who have the heart to do it.”

"On the ground of the Condensation Hall, the place where the blood of the concubine and the palace maid splattered, and the direction of the wound on the body, were not an inch away. But the minister turned over and collapsed and found a bloodstain at the bottom of the couch, but there was no blood around—there are these two , the death of the concubine was not an accident, but a murder, which can be said to be certain."

When Zhu Yijun heard this, there was a wry smile and a sentimental look on his face.Whispered: "How can I do something about Wu Lin? The queen mother is too careful. Poor Mrs Ye, she really died unexpectedly!"

Chen Ju went through three dynasties, and he heard and witnessed a lot of bloody things in this deep palace.But before that, he was not the one involved, so he just watched it as a lively event.

At this time, this tragedy in the inner palace was involved with him, and he knew how much blood and rain his predecessors had gone through.He was drenched in cold sweat, for fear that he would be involved in the battle between the emperor and the queen mother, and he would die without a place to be buried.

Seeing his pale face, Zhu Yijun smiled and said: "I shouldn't have said much that day, and suggested that Empress Dowager Rensheng bring Concubine Qi to Xiyuan. Because of my accidental concern, my mother actually became suspicious - not killing Boren, Bo Ren died because of me." He told about the Ciqing Palace the day before he came to Xiyuan.

Chen Ju let out a long sigh, and his beating heart eased.Persuaded: "Your Majesty, according to the views of slaves and servants, everyone in this harem is extremely sensitive to the favor of the Lord - Concubine Qi is attracted by the emperor's blue eyes, so she should resign from coming to Xiyuan to play. She should know that Ciqing Palace is only looking for The reason why Sejong's concubines came to Xiyuan!"

"The emperor served the two palaces to play, and only brought two concubines from Mu Zong's time - Qi Fei would rather not be afraid of herself? This is self-defeating, and the emperor does not need to be sad."

Zhu Yijun listened to this fallacy, how could he untie his knot, but he had to look comforted on his face.He settled down and asked, "Do you know who did this? Why don't you work in the palace, but it takes so much trouble?"

Chen Ju thought about the people in the palace, and already had the answer in his heart.But he said back: "Without verification, the minister can't guess it. But the person in charge must know the inside story of Xiyuan repairing, and he took a lot of trouble to block others' mouths. Three birds with one stone - but a person who is loyal to state affairs."

This hint is quite in place, Zhu Yijun heard it, and said lightly: "The person in charge is a little loyal and hinted to me in advance. After all, I was ordered to do it, and I don't blame him. -You step back, I am tired."
