All the Heavens Return

"Ruyi, tell me, is the official family still the official family?"

"Ah!" The maid Ruyi was stunned for a moment, not knowing why the empress asked such a question, she murmured,

"The official family is the official family, what else can it be?"

"Yeah, what else can it be?"

Queen Wang sighed again, but did not continue.Since the succession of the official family, he has not only abandoned all the bad habits of the past, concentrated on governing the country, but also cared for himself, as if he had changed himself.

The official family treats him very well, and their favor is unlimited, even Zheng Guifei and Wang Guifei, who were once favored, are far behind.But, for some reason, I always feel a little unreal in my heart, like a dream.

"There is something that I don't know whether I should say or not." But at this moment, Ruyi seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said.

"You are the person I trust the most, so you can speak up if you have anything to say."

"Thank you, ma'am." After a pause, Ruyi continued,

"The official family has always refused to accept newcomers, and they have shown great favor to the empress, which naturally aroused the jealousy of others. The slaves heard that the concubine Zheng planned to send the two maids serving by her side to the official family."

"Is there such a thing?"

Empress Wang frowned slightly. Concubine Zheng had many beautiful maids, but all of them came from poor families, so they were not suitable candidates.

Of course, if the officials like it, it's okay, it's just filling.It's just that Concubine Zheng's move may not be that simple, she probably wants to achieve the goal of solid favor through this matter.

"Where did you get this information from?"

"The servant girl passed by Liu Niangniang's bedroom yesterday, and just happened to hear the palace servants whispering about it, so I learned about it."

"Shi Liu, it's her!"

Hearing this, Queen Wang's heart trembled suddenly, and she had a faint bad feeling.

第590四章 改变规则

"Recently, is there any gossip in the harem?"

After leaving Kunning Palace, Zhao Ji asked Zhang Yan beside him while walking.Under his vigorous promotion, the other party has become the head of the harem official.Moreover, after his deliberate instruction, he continued to cultivate his eyes and ears.

"Yes." Zhang Yan saluted respectfully, then explained,

"A few days ago, the concubine Zheng saw the beautiful appearance of the second daughter of the Wei family and the Qiao family, so she asked her in private if she would be willing to serve His Majesty. The two had no objection and chose to agree. After learning about it, we started discussing it gradually.”

"Sister-in-law, how did you get involved with her?" Zhao Ji frowned, this woman is not a fuel-efficient lamp, could it be that she is doing something wrong?

"I don't dare to criticize Miss Liu, but this matter is indeed spread from the mouth of the palace people around her." After a pause, Zhang Yan seemed to be a little hesitant, and asked tentatively,

"One more thing, I don't know if I should tell His Majesty?"

"I have promoted you as the head of the internal officials, and I have continued to increase the power in your hands. The purpose is to completely control the harem. You should be aware of this."

"You little one is confused, you shouldn't have scruples, you deserve death." Zhang Yan fell to his knees with a plop, and replied tremblingly.

"If you know your mistakes, you can correct them. There's nothing good about it. It's your first time in charge of a high position, so it's understandable to be negligent. However, let's not be an example. Let's get up first." Zhao Ji reprimanded the other party, but did not deal with it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Hearing these words, Zhang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, paid homage again, and then slowly stood up.

"Tell me, what makes you so scruples?"

"It's also about Niangniang Liu." This time, Zhang Yan replied without any hesitation,

"The little one spread his eyes and ears in the palace and found some information. Although Niangniang Liu was honored as Queen Yuanfu, she was extremely dissatisfied with Queen Yuanyou's recovery and often cursed in the palace. Other than that Besides, recently, one of the palace servants beside him has been out of the palace many times on business, and the younger one sent someone to follow him and learned that he was secretly communicating with a stranger."

"It's really worrying!" Zhao Ji asked with a cold light in his eyes,

"What is the identity of the stranger, have you found it?"

"It's a servant in Cai Xueshi's residence in the Imperial Academy."

"Oh!"

Hearing this, Zhao Ji couldn't help being a little surprised. This scholar Cai is not someone else? It is Cai Jing, who is famous in later generations.

After he succeeded to the throne, for the sake of excessive stability of power, he did not make any major changes to the officials of the DPRK and China. Therefore, he didn't pay much attention to this man?

"Do you know the contents of the letter?"

"The official forgives the crime. The matter is so important that I dare not startle the snake? So I didn't continue to investigate."

Zhao Ji pondered slightly, Zhang Yan's character is cautious, he has the power to control the internal officials, without his orders? He still dare not intervene rashly in the outer court.

But "this is also good" to be clear about the inside and outside, so as not to have too much power, and eventually give birth to thoughts that shouldn't be there.

"The Liu family still sends people to watch, and every move must be recorded. As for the officials of the outer court, I have my own considerations, so you don't have to worry about it."

"The slaves obey the order."

Walking slowly, Zhao Ji was thinking about Cai Jing in his heart.Why did the other party have contact with the Liu family?It is nothing more than power, and this will inevitably involve old and new party struggles.

After he succeeded to the throne, he respected the Empress Dowager Xiang very much, and revived the Meng family of Empress Yuanyou, which will definitely send out some kind of signal, whether it is the old party or the new party, it is inevitable that they will be ready to move.

It's just that although Liu Shi is respected by him as the Queen of Yuanfu, it's just a signboard.Cai Jing is old and cunning, so he should not fail to see the pros and cons of it.

Zhao Ji was suspicious in his heart, and vaguely guessed that there might be other reasons for Cai Jing to jump out.

But at this time, a palace official came in a hurry and told:
