Chapter 272
Of course, when the emperor wants to make this suggestion and how to control the fire, it is a question worth considering.

As Empress Chen's current personal eunuch and the number one officer under her command, Bi Yun still raised her own doubts.

Sun Dan is considered to have joined Empress Chen's camp now. Considering that Empress Chen is just a little girl, and she can't see many things clearly, she had to explain patiently: "Didn't I just say that, don't worry now, it's always a matter of time." We have to wait for His Majesty to discuss with the ministers first, and then we can come to a conclusion."

Bi Yun knew that Sun Dan was not speaking to himself, so he deliberately asked: "Jingyuan, in your opinion, how will the ministers discuss it, and when will they reach a conclusion?"

Sun Dan: "The efficiency of the Ming Dynasty has always been not fast, and this matter is related to the essence of the emperor's imperial examination, so we must be cautious. Therefore, I think that at least this year there should be no final result. Besides, I think that it will be soon. I will take the exam, Your Majesty's Enke is important, before the exam is over, everything in court should be temporarily put aside. If you want to suggest to Your Majesty to take the Empress Dowager to Beijing, it can be done after Enke is over."

"What's the point of this?" Empress Chen was still puzzled.

Of course, Sun Dan would not tell her that as soon as Enke was over, when discussing the imperial examination, there would naturally be a different voice from the Xinke Scholars who were dissatisfied with the ministers forcing the emperor so that mother and child could not recognize each other.And this kind of voice directly triggered the dispute over the great ceremony, which affected the political situation of the Jiajing Dynasty for decades.

This is also Sun Dan's foresight as a modern person.

In fact, the emperor probably realized this in a dim way, which made the officials discuss it repeatedly. It's a pity that none of the courtiers today will make the voice the emperor wants to hear.

Sun Dan said lightly: "It's nothing special, it's just that everyone's thoughts are not on it now."

Empress Chen had no choice but to say: "In that case, I will follow what Sun Qing said. I believe in Sun Qing's opinion."

Sun Dan: "Thank you for your trust. According to the system of the Ming Dynasty, the inner palace is not allowed to make friends with foreign ministers. If you have anything to do in the future, you can just ask Eunuch Bi to come to me. I will leave."

As soon as he saluted, he was about to leave.

"Sun Qing, wait a minute."

"I also ask your mother to order."

Empress Chen behind the curtain seemed to think of something funny, and suddenly said: "A few days ago, I made a bet with Zhang Guifei, I bet you can win the first place in the Jinke Shuntianfu Township Examination, Xie Yuan, fortunately, Sun Qing won the first place." , and let Bengong win a lot. Tell me, should Bengong reward you with something?"

Sun Dan is also a little wealthy now, and he is not very enthusiastic about property.Moreover, royal rewards are not necessarily expensive things, and often they are just a kind of favor to courtiers. Sometimes it is a pair of shoes, sometimes it is a hat, and sometimes it is even a box of snacks.

Sun Dan hurriedly said: "I dare not ask for a reward from my mother."

"You don't want it, but I have to give it to you." Empress Chen thought for a while: "I heard people say that you, Sun Qing, have a rich family and don't like ordinary things. But most of you talented people like calligraphy, painting, books and so on. I don't have any valuable things at hand, so I heard from my brother Chen Rong that you are also a good painter. I also like to paint a few strokes in the daytime. I just drew a picture and I will give it to you .”

Bi Yun smiled and held out a scroll and handed it to Sun Dan.

When Sun Dan heard that it was not a famous calligraphy and painting, he felt disapproving, but it was not easy to refute the queen's face, so it was worth accepting, "Thank you for the reward, I will leave."

Then he left the Leopard Room with Bi Yun.

Sun Dan had already understood that Bi Yun had lied to himself when he said that the emperor would also come to listen to his sermon. The fact is that Empress Chen summoned the courtiers in private.

Sun Dan also disagreed with Bi Yunduo, but shook his head helplessly: "Old Bi, you are playing with fire!"

Bi Yun was a little ashamed, but still looked at Sun Dan calmly: "Jingyuan, it's impossible for you to be alone."

Sun Dan: "How is it impossible, Lao Bi, Lao Bi, with your and my achievements in following the dragon, do you still need to follow the queen's footsteps? To put it bluntly, Lao Bi, even if you don't do anything, you will do nothing in this life." Sitting firmly in the position of governor of Dongchang. As for me, Sun Dan, as long as I pass the Jinshi examination, enter the Imperial Academy, and stay with him for 20 years, I should join the cabinet as a prime minister no matter what. I want to get involved in the harem dispute, isn't this making myself uncomfortable? The current situation seems to be quite simple, but the empress and the noble concubine are fighting for favor. But have you ever thought about it, once these two empresses have a prince in the future, what will happen? It has turned into a battle for succession. One mistake, you and I will both be killed."

Bi Yun smiled lightly: "I understand it. Although you Sun Jingyuan learned the words of a sage, you are actually the most proficient in the art of emperors. Isn't this kind of thing you are best at?"

Sun Dan was stunned, he knew his own affairs best, and speaking of real skills, his so-called celebrities and famous names were just plagiarized.When it comes to the ability to settle down in this world, it is actually just the foresight of ancient history by modern people.But in the eyes of the ancients, he has no plans for everything, and is one step ahead of others in everything. Isn't it just the skill of the dragon emperor?

Bi Yun persuaded again: "If there is no help from you and me, Empress Chen will be abolished sooner or later."

Sun Danxin said: Nonsense, who knows the history that didn't happen better than me.If there is no accident, Queen Chen will die of fright in a few years.

Bi Yun: "If Queen Chen is abolished, Concubine Zhang Gui will definitely be righted. At that time, even if you and I do nothing, I'm afraid they won't be able to tolerate us. Jingyuan, don't you want to join the cabinet? Is there no such possibility? You don’t cause trouble, but others want to provoke you? Didn’t you often say to Lao Bi before: People can’t help themselves in the world. Do you think you can be alone?”

Although Sun Dan verbally refused to admit defeat, he could only admit with a wry smile that he had now entered Queen Chen's camp: "Old Bi, I was killed by you."

Seeing Sun Dan nodding his head, Bi Yun rejoiced in his heart: "With Jingyun here, Empress Chen will have no worries! As long as the Empress Dowager can be brought back to Beijing, Empress Chen's position can be considered secure."

Sun Dan shook his head: "Not necessarily, the most important thing for Empress Chen is to give birth to the prince as soon as possible. Lao Bi, does the emperor still go to Empress Chen's place now, how many times a month?"

Bi Yun felt a chill in his heart: "Today, Shangnei is a fairy-like figure, but he doesn't care much about female sex. Since entering the palace, he has never been to Empress Chen once."

Sun Dan: "You have to think of a way?"

Bi Yun smiled bitterly: "What can I do, God bless you. Empress Chen didn't give birth to a prince, and I, a slave, have no roots.

Sun Dan said a few words to Bi Yun, and then broke up with him.

As he walked, he unfolded Chen Hou's painting casually and glanced at it.A cluster of peonies is drawn on it, and two butterflies dance on the peonies.The painting is also vivid, but it's a pity that it is full of craftsmanship.After Sun Dan got rich, he collected a lot of famous calligraphy and paintings, such as Huang Shanshan's calligraphy, Zhao Ji's paintings, and Li Gonglin's horses, but ordinary people's paintings could not catch his eye.

He finished the picture scroll with a lack of interest, and was about to leave, but found that he had unknowingly walked to a remote place.

Just as he was about to find his way out, he heard shouts: "Kill this bastard!" There were at least a dozen people, all young eunuchs.It is estimated that those wild boys specially found this secluded place to duel, and there is no pure land in the palace.Where there are people, there is contention, and the little eunuch is no exception.

"Ah!" A painful voice rang out.

This voice was exactly Chen Hong.

This painful cry startled Sun Dan, looking for the sound, he walked forward, walked through a deserted path, entered a moon gate, and saw a group of people fighting in front of him.

Sun Dan didn't know anything about the life of the lower-level eunuchs. He was curious and didn't rush out, so he hid behind a large holly tree and peeked.

But he saw Chen Hong running wildly in front, followed by a dozen or so young eunuchs aged twelve or thirteen.

He was beaten into a pig's head last night, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, now new wounds are added on top of old wounds, his other eye is also blue, and his nose is bleeding constantly.What's even more outrageous is that the palace uniform on his body has been completely torn into two pieces, exposing his bare chest.On that chest, there are scars all over the place, which looks hideous and terrifying.

He tightly clenched his fists with his free hands, his knuckles were already torn, and they were bright red and very eye-catching.

Chen Hong didn't know how far he ran, white gas was rising from his body and head, as if he was sitting in a steamer.

The dozen or so little eunuchs in the back also had a fever, their heads and foreheads were covered with sweat, and they couldn't catch their breath.They all carried wooden sticks in their hands and waved them behind Chen Hong's back, but it was a pity that they were always one step late.

Even so, those eunuchs refused to let Chen Hong go, You Zi shouted: "Stop this bird man, he must be killed today."

At this moment, the white snow was still falling one after another, and every time Chen Hong took a step, a few drops of nose snow fell on the bloody ground.

As he ran, he turned his head and shouted viciously: "Grandma, are you still not going to let me go? If you have the guts, you will catch up with me and kill me. I remember all of you. After today, our family will slowly get along with you." You settle accounts."

Chen Hong is tall and has long arms, a head taller than his peers, and he runs much faster.

The group of people behind chased him for a long time, but they couldn't catch up with life or death.

A senior eunuch anxiously shouted to his companions: "Brothers, hurry up. This fellow Chen Hong is really hateful. Just now I was playing with others for money. This thief came up without saying a word and robbed the money." Just run away. If you don’t beat him to death, the Forbidden City will really belong to him.”

Chen Hong laughed, and cursed back: "Bai Dehua, you little bastard, grandpa thinks highly of you when he steals your money. You little thing used to behave well when you met grandpa in the daytime, and you were honored every month. Our family. The father-in-law who recently climbed up to the horse guard is so frightened that he doesn’t want to pay any money. We just want to rob you and let you see how many eyes the Lord Ma has.”

The little eunuch named Bai Dehua saw that he couldn't catch up with Chen Hong, and felt sorry for his own money. He was so angry that he almost shed tears, and replied: "Chen Hong, since you also know that these are the eunuchs of the Yumajian , sensible ones, just stand here and don't move."

The Yumajian is a powerful department in the prison, second only to the Silijian. The Silijian is in charge of administration, and the Yumajian is in charge of the military. Because of their long-term dealings with the army, the people inside are also domineering and domineering, with a personality that does not rub sand in their eyes.When Chen Hong provoked them, he kicked the steel plate.

Chen Hong sneered: "Stand don't move, thank you for telling me, who doesn't know that the **** of the Yumajian are all fucking happy to beat people, and they are not normal people. Bai Dehua, you are so badass to move the Yumajian Some people came to support him, but don't forget, our family is the godson of Eunuch Huang. No matter how violent the Imperial Horse Supervisor is, can he cross Eunuch Huang?"

Hearing his self-report, the eunuchs behind the little eunuch Bai Dehua hesitated for a while, and their feet slowed down.

Looking at this opportunity, Chen Hong straightened his body, as if he was about to jump out of the moon gate.

Seeing that Chen Hong was about to escape, Bai Dehua cried out in his heart.He also knew that as long as Chen Hong escaped today, with his tit for tat character, he would be in great trouble in the future.Either don't do it, or do it if you want to do it.

He felt anxious, and shouted: "Brothers, although he is Eunuch Huang's godson, is Eunuch Huang's son still young?" As he said that, he didn't know why, and threw the stick in his hand out of nowhere. It just hit Chen Hong's ankle.

Chen Hong only felt a sharp pain, and his feet staggered, "Plop!" He fell to the ground with a sound.

The ten or so eunuchs of the horse guard suddenly came to their senses, and they all uttered a cry, and surrounded Chen Hong.Now, even if Chen Hong had grown wings, he couldn't fly out of the encirclement.

The little eunuch at the head sneered and lowered his head to stare at Chen Hong, "I was almost overwhelmed by you, a bird man. Eunuch Huang is so famous, we can't afford to offend you. But seeing how miserable you are, I guess that Eunuch Huang I can't remember having such a good son as you. Hehe, your godfather can't protect you anyway, why don't you just be my son. Although our imperial horse supervisor is not as good as the supervisor of ceremonies, we are in the prison It is also ranked second among the thirteen yamens. Once you enter our yamen, you will naturally be well-fed."

"So that's it, okay!" Chen Hong was not afraid, he said with a smile: "Since you want to be a son so much, I'm not afraid to be your godfather. Son, from now on, your surname is Chen."

"You are going to die on your stinky mouth today." The little eunuch turned blue with anger, kicked Chen Hong's upper lip, and kicked Chen Hong's mouth full of blood.

However, Chen Hong just refused to give in, and laughed instead: "Aren't you afraid that the sky will strike me when my son hits me?"

"Your mother, how dare you speak stubbornly!" Bai Dehua swiped with a stick, just right on Chen Hong's face.

Chen Hong tilted his head, obviously a little dizzy, rolled his eyes for a long time, then stopped, and stared at Bai Dehua fiercely: "Xiaobai, you want to fuck my mother, do you have that thing? We all suffered That knife, don’t say these things are useless. If you have the guts, beat me to death today. If you can’t kill me, I’ll be sent to the Prison of Rituals in the future, as long as I catch the chance, I’ll kill you!"

Bai Dehua took a look at Chen Hong's eyes full of resentment, and saw that Chen Hong's face had been completely deformed, becoming like Yan Luo in that temple, but he was afraid first.I couldn't help but screamed, the stick in my hand fell to the ground, and I took a step back.

Seeing that Bai Dehua was terribly frightened, a young eunuch felt dissatisfied, and snorted: "Xiaobai, don't be afraid of him, this bird man is just as stubborn as a dead duck. He also wants to become a minister in the chief inspector of ceremonies, and dream of his spring and autumn dream." Right. He knows Eunuch Huang, but Eunuch Huang doesn’t know him. A young eunuch, still want to be an inner minister?”

Chen Hong spit out a mouthful of bloody saliva: "You got that knife in your crotch, why did you cut off your brains, you only know how to drink and play money all day long, know what superstructure is, and what knowledge is Destiny is determined, vision determines future?"

Sun Dan listened amusedly behind the holly tree. Wasn't the modern nouns like superstructure that Chen Hong mentioned just now what he said in class?He said this, so other people must understand?
Sure enough, the dozen or so little eunuchs looked at each other in blank dismay: "What building?"

Chen Hong smiled disdainfully: "Of course you don't understand. Have you heard of the famous scholar Sun Jingyuan? He is our family's mentor. Now, our family is studying in the inner school. You are one of a kind. Master Sun has given you an order, and he was born in the inner school. After 20 years, it will not be difficult to enter the supervisor of ceremonies."

He cast his eyes on everyone's faces one by one: "I remember all of you, let's have a long life!"

A dozen or so eunuchs looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't speak.

Sun Dan's fame was so great that everyone's hearts trembled.

Finally, a young eunuch said to Bai Dehua: "Xiaobai, this matter is a bit difficult. Sun Jingyuan, the disciples he trained will be of great use in the palace in the future."

Bai Dehua was also at a loss: "I don't know, I don't know."

Sun Dan was amused to hear that, he didn't expect his fame in the palace to be so great.

A few children are fighting and messing around, it's not interesting to watch it any longer.Forget it, let them go.

Sun Dan was about to leave quietly, but he heard the little eunuch who kicked Chen Hong just now suddenly say grimly: "I have an idea, Xiaobai, it depends on whether you can do it or not."

Bai Dehua: "Brother, tell me."

"People who come out of Neishutang must be of great use." The little eunuch said: "But my selection of officials in the Ming Dynasty has certain requirements on the appearance of officials. Those who have a slanted body, big head and small body, have one shoulder tall Yes, those with a small head and a big body are not used. This Chen Hong looks pretty standard, if we break his face, let alone enter the Supervisor of Rituals in the future, even if he wants to be a manager, it is impossible for him."

Xiaobai clapped his hands fiercely: "Brother, what a way, I'll use a knife to smash the plate of this birdman Chen Hong." He said that he was going to look for tiles in the yard.

Chen Hong is still not afraid: "Spend it, spend it, who is afraid of whom?"

The eunuch grabbed Xiaobai and said, "Why bother, your face is stained, and if you put some plaster on it, you may not be able to grow back. According to our family, he simply failed his trick. Go, break a branch and come here. .”

When Chen Hong heard that he wanted one of his own eyeballs, his face changed color: "How dare you?"

The eunuch said: "Chen Hong, don't blame us. Didn't you say everything just now? You also said that as long as you are in power, you will not let us go. For the sake of our future wealth and life, we can't say anything today." did you?"

Sun Dan frowned when he heard it from behind. Children are playing around, but there is really no need to rise to the point of life and death.Besides, Chen Hong is still his student now, watching his student being blinded by an outsider, his conscience will feel uneasy.

Although Chen Hong is stubborn, he is just a child.

He slowly stood up from behind Holly: "It's too much for you to make such a fuss."

More than a dozen young eunuchs turned their heads to look at the past at the same time, and exclaimed at the same time: "Mr. Sun!"
