Cannot attack objects

Zhong Shao didn't wait for Su Mo's reply, but waited for an imperial decree first.

This was expected. Since Concubine Yu Gui had already called Zhong Shao to talk about entering the court and participating in politics, she would naturally implement it quickly.With her methods, the imperial decree did not come quickly, but what is surprising is the content of the imperial decree—it was indeed for Zhong Shao to leave office in advance, but it was not just for her to listen to and discuss state affairs, but to directly give her a A position that I never thought of: Prince Sheren!

The prince sheren was a sixth-rank official, and at first he belonged to the prince, acted on behalf of the prince, and was dispatched by the prince.Later, it became an official permanent establishment, and the ether students acted as ministers, and were also dispatched by the imperial court.But in any case, as long as there is the existence of the prince, the prince sheren is the official of the East Palace, and naturally belongs to the prince's family. The one who can finally secure this position must be the prince's confidant and right-hand man.

Because although the rank of the official position of Prince Sheren is not high, the power is often very heavy.If the prince has not been established, this position can be said to be a vain position that is only used as a reward. If the prince is still studying, the prince sheren is just to accompany him. , Sui, Shu and other literary matters.Even earlier, the post of Prince Sheren set up a detailed division of labor between several people, and the defense of the Eastern Palace was in the hands of these people!

This is really not a position that can be given at will. When Chu Chu received this imperial edict, Zhong Shao was stunned.She couldn't believe it, and even asked the eunuch who came to pass the decree: "His Royal Highness has been in the court for many years, and there is still a vacancy in the position of Sheren?!"

In fact, what Zhong Shao wanted to ask more was, why did the position of the crown prince fall on her head?She absolutely refused to believe that this matter was arranged by Concubine Yu Gui, because until now, the relationship between Concubine Yu Guifei and the Crown Prince was not considered close, and she had no intention of standing in line with the Crown Prince!And she is not a student, if it wasn't for Concubine Yu's arrangement, whoever wrote this matter would be ready to come out.

The eunuch's status in the palace was neither high nor low, but he was tactful, no one dared to offend easily.Knowing that Concubine Yu Gui was standing behind Zhong Shao, his attitude was also very kind, and he thought for a while and said, "There are always vacancies for subordinate officials in the Eastern Palace. His Majesty requested this will."

The eunuch confided some facts to confirm Zhong Shao's conjecture. On the other hand, he flattered both parties. Even if the prince finds out about it in the future, he will not embarrass her because of it.

Zhong Shao also knew that he couldn't ask anything, and he didn't dare to say too much to a person who didn't know the details, so he had to send some money to send him away.Then she asked Lianqiu to send news to Concubine Yu Gui in the palace, and at the same time went to look for Xu Wenjin with the imperial decree she had just received.

After Xu Wenjin read the imperial decree, his face was not very good-looking as expected, Zhong Shao didn't say much about it, he just said: "Sir, this decree came so suddenly, I have already asked the servant who delivered the decree, It was the prince who asked for it on his own initiative.”

After hearing this, although Xu Wenjin had already guessed, he still subconsciously blurted out: "What exactly does he want to do?!"

To be honest, Xu Wenjin was also a little confused about this prince who obviously didn't fit the plot.He guessed that the prince might not be the original one anymore, but so far he has only seen the other party at a distance, so there is really no basis, let alone tell Zhong Shaoming.But there is no such paragraph in the original book, and Zhong Shao has never been a prince at all!

Zhong Shao in the book followed the track arranged by Concubine Yu, and walked smoothly. In just a few years, with the support of Concubine Yu and the eldest princess, he became an extremely talented minister, and it can be said that he has made steady progress.She accumulated enough capital during those few years, so she also had the means and qualifications to turn the clouds and rains in the later stage, and finally relied on the means to get rid of all kinds of shackles and reached the pinnacle of life.

In the original book, the prince was just a small stumbling block on Zhong Shao's way forward.Even because of his original character flaws and lack of ability, he didn't bring much trouble to Zhong Shao, so he quickly got off the assembly line.

Of course, Zhong Shao didn't know these things at the moment, she just looked at Xu Wenjin with some helplessness when she heard the words, and said after a long while: "Sir, this is what the students want to ask you."

Xu Wenjin felt embarrassed when he heard the words. He coughed twice, thought for a while, and finally said to Zhong Shao: "Now it seems that the crown prince intends to win you over. But the imperial concubine's attitude over the years has been very clear, so In my opinion, you'd better not get too close to the prince easily, not to mention that with his deep thoughts, he may not really let go of his prejudices and regard you as his confidant."

It can be seen that Xu Wenjin's attitude towards the prince is still very repulsive, but his words are also very pertinent.Not to mention if she accepted the prince's solicitation, whether the prince would really put his trust in her, she would not be able to pass even Yu Guifei's test.

Zhong Shao stretched out his hand to press his forehead as if he had a headache, and sighed for a long time: "The imperial decree has been issued, and there is probably no turning point for this matter, so we can only take a step and see. But I always feel that the East Palace will not be a good place to go. "

************************************************** **

In the Prince's East Palace, in the study of the side hall, Xiao Qian was talking with several young people.

These people are about the same age as Xiao Qian, and they are all his former companions.However, those who can appear here at this moment have also been screened, capable and loyal, so he stayed and worked in the East Palace for training.Those who are incompetent have been replaced by him one after another in the past two years, and even some families have been defeated because of this.

Most of them grew up together. Although they are now afraid of the majesty of the prince, they usually speak more relaxedly.A young man with a round face said at this moment: "His Royal Highness, I heard that His Majesty has decreed that the child surnamed Zhong will enter the Eastern Palace to be a sacrificial servant?!"

There are quite a lot of officials in the East Palace, but most of the positions are vain, and the crown prince can even be removed immediately.Only the post of Sheren is very special, regardless of whether the prince is standing or not, it is permanent, and he is directly in charge of the Eastern Palace's literary affairs, and has the right to discuss politics, which has always had a great influence on the prince's administration.

The position of Prince Sheren has been vacant for several years, it's not that no one is staring at it, it suddenly fell into the hands of outsiders, or in the hands of Concubine Yu Guifei's adoptive son who has not dealt with them very much, no wonder these people are a little restless up.

Xiao Qian was very calm. He picked up his teacup and took a sip. He didn't look at the young man with a round face who was talking. His eyes fell on the delicate blue and white porcelain teacup in his hand, and he said lazily, "Well, I'm just asking for it alone. .”

As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the hall, and it took a long while before someone asked tentatively: "Your Highness's move... is to find a flaw in that Zhong Shao?"

Xiao Qian's methods are strong, and in the past two years Emperor Taiping has become more and more obsessed with beauty, and has already handed over all government affairs to the crown prince. Now Xiao Qian's power in the court can be said to be at its peak.Just one thing, the alliance between Concubine Yu Gui and Princess Eldest seems to be unbreakable, coupled with the fact that their business has been deeply rooted for many years, the power in the court can still rival Xiao Qian today.

In the hearts of everyone here, the crown prince is orthodox, whether it is a concubine who meddles in the government or an ambitious aunt, they should hand over their power and go back to be honest and teach their husbands and children.So in the past two years, the conflict between the two sides has become more and more obvious, and it is not as good as Zhong Shao thought, and the superficial peace can still be maintained.It is also because of this that someone asked this question, and the flaw naturally refers to Concubine Yu Gui.

Xiao Qian was twisting the tea lid with two fingers to fiddle with the tea leaves in the cup, when he heard this, he let go of his hand, and there was a clear sound of porcelain clashing in the hall.He immediately raised his head, his sharp sword eyebrows slightly raised: "I begged her to come only because she has the ability to be a sacrificing person."

As soon as this remark came out, some people were unconvinced immediately, and a tall and strong young man stood up: "It's not that I don't believe in Your Highness, but Zhong Shao has a mediocre reputation in Beijing. Apart from hearing that she is good-looking, she has nothing to do with martial arts." Isn’t it, where is it worthy of His Highness’s attention?!”

Xiao Qian sneered when he heard the words, looked up at the tall and strong young man, and then said with a smile: "Han Yi, believe it or not, you can't beat her."

Of course Han Yi didn't believe it!He is the best in martial arts among the people around Xiao Qian. Even a few years ago, Xiao Qian had given the crown prince the guard rate to him not long after he was named the crown prince.He is confident in martial arts skills, and has met Zhong Shao a few times, and still remembers his thin and small appearance, but he feels that such a small body can't even hold his fist!

But before Han Yi could stare and retort, he was stopped by someone next to him: "Han Yi, shut up first." After speaking, he said to Xiao Qian: "Your Highness, I haven't seen the Duke of Hejian, I don't know if she can I can beat Han Yi. But Your Highness, Sheren is a civil servant, and she will be in charge of the Eastern Palace in the future. Even if she can beat Han Yi to the ground with one hand, what's the use?!"

This person's name is Yan Xu, he is the second son of Prime Minister Yan, and also the eldest in the group, he has always had some prestige among the crowd.As soon as he opened his mouth, no one else spoke, except for Han Yi who stared and became more and more unconvinced, everyone else looked at Xiao Qian desperately.

Xiao Qian didn't care too much, but he didn't seem to want to continue this boring topic, so he said indifferently: "What's the use of talking to you about this? When she comes, you can try her skills." Give it a try."

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up immediately, and anyone could see the eagerness and eagerness in their eyes.

Yan Xu lowered his eyes when he heard the words, pondered for a moment and then said: "Your Highness wants to take this person under his tent?" Before Xiao Qian could speak, he continued: "Speaking of which, Duke Hejian and Concubine Yu are It’s just the adoptive son and adoptive mother that I have recognized, and I heard that the noble concubine is not very close to this adopted son, since their relationship is not close, if His Highness is a virtuous and virtuous corporal, it may not be impossible to take it into account.”

Hearing this, Xiao Qian smiled with a secretive expression on his face, but he didn't say anything else, he just continued to fiddle with the teacup and drink tea slowly.
