Raising Dogs as Eunuchs [Rebirth]

Zhao Minsheng believed in Xie Yuan's mind, so he didn't need to say too much, as long as he revealed it here, he would definitely have plans for the rest.

So after revealing this news to others, Zhao Minsheng didn't pay attention to it any more. After the sun went down, he went to his study room and didn't go back to bed until it was dark.

What he and Xie Yuan said about making sachets for people was not just a deliberate excuse to reveal the relationship between Zhang Tingxiu and King Ning.

Although it is true that he achieved some of his goals by the way, before buying wine for Li Qing yesterday, Zhao Minsheng really went to that shop, and seriously picked out a piece of material for Xie Yuan, even the sachet The styles are all picked.

The only thing missing was that the embroidery sample hadn't been selected yet. Zhao Minsheng originally made an appointment with the shopkeeper of the silk and satin shop, and sent someone to deliver it five days later.

But in the past few days, he has been thinking hard in the study every day, writing countless drafts, but in the end he feels unsatisfactory. Seeing that there is only one day left in the five-day period, Zhao Minsheng is sitting alone in the study with Writing brush, his face was stained with ink, he thought hard and searched his brains, but he still couldn't figure out what to embroider.

The ordinary ones like mandarin ducks and willow leaves, Zhao Minsheng, a man, definitely can't get rid of them, and the rest are like magpies on branches, although he can get them, but he thinks they are too ordinary, and it is obvious that he is not compatible with them. Human intimacy comes.

Although Xie Yuan is an eunuch, he can't stand the power in his hands, and there are countless Yingying and Yanyan around, waiting to be posted.

Although he knows Xie Yuan's feelings for him, he still doesn't like someone who always thinks about him. Sending such a sachet is not only to please Xie Yuan, but also to warn those people around him who don't have eyes. , all pay attention.

Zhao Minsheng thought about it, but finally decided on the simplest one, and with a swipe of a pen, he sent someone to send him out of the palace.

The boss of the silk and satin shop received the embroidery sample, opened it, but only saw the elegant Yuan character.

-

Just after Zhao Minsheng and Xie Yuan disclosed the sachet in Zhao Ning's sleeve, two days later, it will be the first day of the twelfth lunar month. According to the usual practice, the emperor will go out of the palace to the Qingshi Temple in the suburbs of Beijing every year in the early morning of this day. Zhu Xiang, and every time he is light and simple, only a few close attendants around him follow.

Early in the morning, the emperor set off from the palace on his royal horse. Xie Yuan drove steadily, leaving a long rut on the thick white snow.Every year at this time, the emperor is always in a bad mood, because Concubine Shu's death day is coming soon.

Because of Li Yi's treason, Concubine Shu was more or less implicated in the court. In order to block the mouths of the ministers, although he could ensure that she was buried as a noble concubine, he could not pay homage to her with great fanfare on the anniversary of her death. she.

Xie Yuan listened to people's long and short sighs all the way, until he went to Qingshi Temple and respectfully offered a stick of incense, the emperor was in a good mood.

Perhaps it was because of this stick of incense that he was so pious that he seemed to engulf all his emotions in that stick of incense. After the incense was burned out, his longing for people followed the ethereal The smoke has all dissipated.

So much so that on the way back, he was able to calm down and think about political affairs.

The winter sun shone down on the ground like a layer of velvet. Xie Yuan was wearing a white official uniform, clutching the reins, and sat outside the car expressionlessly, as if he was quietly waiting for something.

Now that it's the twelfth lunar month, the Jiangnan inspection is imminent, but the emperor is too late and can't decide who to choose. In the past, when it was difficult to make a decision, Zhao Haoxuan was always willing to ask someone he could trust to give him advice.

But most of the civil servants and military generals in the court have already stood in line, and the results are nothing more than two kinds. Those who stand on the side of the queen and the king of the mausoleum regard the Zhang family as a thorn in their flesh, and wish to get rid of it quickly, so It must be the Li family.And those who stood on the side of Concubine Zhen and King Cheng would definitely divert this fertile water into their own fields, it would be of no use whether to ask or not.

But Xie Yuan was different, he was a member of the emperor, even though he was summoned by him to be Zhao Minsheng's teacher on a whim, he still had a connection with the Li family.

But who Li Qing is, he knows too well, he is stubborn.

Over the years, Xie Yuan has done a lot of things that he would not be able to do face to face. It is inevitable that he will have a bad reputation in the court. It just so happens that he is an eunuch, not to mention forming a party for personal gain. It's good.

Although Xie Yuan was born as a criminal slave, he is a man of great talent. He is capable of both literature and martial arts, not to mention good handwriting, and his piano skills are even more top-notch. With Li Qing's wooden fish head, he can't subdue Xie Yuan's sharp blade, let alone Zhao Minsheng's submissive bastard.

So in this matter, asking Xie Yuan was his best choice at this time.

Xie Yuan was well aware of the pros and cons of this, so he had long expected that the emperor would listen to his own opinion at this time.

Since he learned about the sachet from Zhao Minsheng last time, he secretly sent someone to investigate the silk and satin shop, and the result was exactly as he thought, the sachet was indeed Zhang Tingxiu, Zhang Hongcai's daughter, who personally made the promise. Wang's.

Mandarin ducks are not things that can be given away easily. If it is found out that the sachet was indeed given by Zhang Tingxiu, then it is equivalent to finding out her relationship with Cheng Wang and Zhang Hongcai's ambition.

Now he is only Concubine Zhen's elder brother and King Cheng's uncle. Even if he becomes powerful, the emperor can still provoke him so that he will not be used by King Cheng.But once he marries his daughter to Zhao Ning, there will be a broken bone and a tendon between them. If one day Cheng Wang forces the palace to rebel, then the Zhang family must be the cold knife on the emperor's neck.

It is impossible for the emperor not to consider this level of interests.

"Xie Yuan, have you ever heard about the Jiangnan patrol at the end of the year?"

Sitting in the car, the emperor seemed to mention it casually, and said something to others.

Xie Yuan sat outside, concentrating on driving. Hearing what the man said, he was not in a hurry to turn back. Instead, he stabilized the reins first, and then turned around leisurely, looked at the man and said something.

"Returning to Your Majesty, although I have heard about it, I don't know much about it."

The emperor looked at Xie Yuan, stroked his chin, nodded, and continued to ask.

"Then what do you think of the Zhang family?"

"This one……"

Xie Yuan looked at the soft pillow beside the emperor, and blinked thoughtfully.

"Your Majesty is a little difficult for this humble minister today. I can't answer any of the questions I asked."

Xie Yuan smiled and shook his head, turned around, seemed to be focused on driving the car, but actually he was thinking about the next answer.

The emperor was suspicious, if he told about the sachet directly at this time, he might suspect that Xie Yuan deliberately framed it, so it's best to stop it.

"Although you are not a military commander, you are an official in the court with them. With your connections, it is impossible that you don't know anything about Zhang Hongcai."

"This... I really don't know much about General Zhang, but I heard that he has a nice daughter."

"Oh? Let's hear it."

In fact, even though they are officials in the court together on weekdays, Zhang Hong is only a military general, and he doesn't have much time in Beijing. It's normal for Xie Yuan to be confused about people for a while, so when asked here, the emperor actually didn't answer him. What to expect.

It's just that now when someone mentions the Zhang family's daughter, I suddenly become interested, and I plan to listen to it as a gossip, just for entertainment.

Unexpectedly, Xie Yuan's next words shocked him completely.

"Hey, it's just something about the boudoir of the daughter's house. A few days ago, I accidentally saw the sachet with her boudoir name embroidered on His Highness Cheng Wang. I felt that the pair of mandarin ducks were embroidered vividly, so I felt It seems that Miss Zhang's family must be a wonderful person with ingenuity and ingenuity."

After the emperor heard this, after a while, his complexion suddenly changed, and he just said thoughtfully, "Is that so..." Then he put down the curtain and remained silent all the way, until he returned to the palace to thank Yuan. Here, he said another word.

It is difficult to travel in the snow, Xie Yuan's wind and cold are just right, and now driving the car for His Majesty, the cold wind blows all the way, and when he returns home, he feels a little headache again.

Fortunately, the people under him were able to do things well, knowing that Xie Yuan would definitely be unwell after this trip, so he sent a little eunuch to wait in the palace early, and when he saw Xie Yuan coming out, he covered his hands with his hands The cloak greeted him.

"Thank you, Governor!"

Just as he was standing aside, being waited on and dressed, Li Nian, who had heard Zhao Minsheng's words and came to submit the paperwork, suddenly saw him.

"My minister has seen General Li."

When Xie Yuan heard someone calling him, he swept his hands twice, raised his head to greet them, and exchanged a few words with them. This little general doesn't have as much prejudice against Xie Yuan as Li Qing does, and he has to hit the mark when he speaks. Listen a lot.

It was not in vain that while he was helping Zhao Minsheng, he went along with the flow and gave them a favor from the Li family.

Xie Yuan thought so, exchanged a few words with others, turned around and stepped out of the palace gate, but before he had gone far, a black shadow silently followed him.

The little eunuch who was following him also noticed something, glanced back a few times, then walked briskly while supporting Xie Yuan, until they turned into a deserted alley, and then slowly stopped.

Not long after, the black shadow rolled down from the eaves behind the person, with a neat and light figure, as soon as it landed, it was a big gift to Xie Yuan.

"See you, Dugong Xie!"

"Well, it's time to find out about the case in the west of the city."

Xie Yuan looked at the man's black and smooth hair, hummed lightly, and after saying a few words lightly, he turned and left, leaving only the well-dressed man kneeling down on the ground.

"Subordinates obey."

This person is Xie Yuan's shadow guard in the mansion, with high martial arts skills and extremely reliable handling. Xie Yuan will choose to entrust them with many things that need to be solved in the dark.

After the shadow guard took his order, he quickly disappeared into the crowd.

A few days later, on the court.The emperor was furious because of a case of land invasion in Xicheng, and this case, by coincidence, was directed at Zhang's family.

Standing in the hall, Zhao Minsheng turned his head, glanced at Xie Yuan behind him, and secretly smiled.

It has been half a year since the discovery of this case, but Xie Yuan has kept it in his hands and has not brought it up for a thorough investigation.

Now that Xie Yuan has brought Zhang Hongcai's ambitions out in front of the emperor openly through the matter of the sachet, it is natural that he should considerately send such a large or small case to someone so that the emperor can deal with him Opportunity.
