Promotion Letter for the Chief Executive

It stands to reason that the Prime Minister He Youjun should submit a letter for such a matter, and send it to the main room for sorting through the Chengshu Palace-because it is the emperor's family matter, the cabinet will not draft it.Then the main room is sent directly to the original hall.It shouldn't be sent to them anyway.

To put it bluntly, the papers that can be sent here are all irrelevant, even if it is delayed for three to five months, nothing will happen.

But in the current situation, that Prime Minister He obviously can't delay for three to five months.After all, if he hadn't been so ill that he couldn't even write the memorial, it wouldn't be Bo Ninghou who came to submit the memorial.

If it's a general memorial, just hand it over like this.But it happened to involve the abandoned concubine He's.

Although it has been almost two years, this matter is still taboo in the palace, and no one dares to mention it.Although the abandoned concubine He's family is in the cold palace, but because there are still the third prince and the He family outside, this branch can't go down.No one knows what the future holds.

After Prime Minister He fell ill, the wind direction in the capital was already very strange. Now, it is difficult to say whether to send this booklet to the emperor.

The He family is about to collapse.Without Prime Minister He, the He family is nothing, and they don't even need others to do anything, they will naturally sink in the capital.Soon new relatives will take their place, and no one will remember the past.

At this time, should I step on it along the direction of the wind and pretend that I didn't see the memorial, or send it up directly?Of course, the emperor may not be able to see it when it is sent up, but it may not be invisible either.If you see it, who will know what your reaction will be?

If the emperor was displeased or even angry, and unwilling to let Mrs. He go home, then their side would suffer.But if you don't send it away, if Prime Minister He gets through it, and one day the old score is turned over, no one can hide from it.

"It's really tricky." Eunuch Tian frowned, then turned to ask Ping An, "What do you think?"

"I mean, send it." Pingan didn't hesitate much, "Our standard for sorting memorials is priority." This is obviously the kind that is both heavy and urgent.And to send it away is nothing more than fulfilling one's duty, even if it is reprimanded, it will not be a serious problem-how could the emperor care about this small valet and pour out his anger on them?

Eunuch Tian lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at the time, and said with a smile, "Then send it. The morning court should be over by now."

At the end of the early court, it was the emperor's breakfast time, and it was time to read these memorials.Send it over now, and you can see it immediately, without any delay.

After a pause, Eunuch Tian said again, "Why don't you send it over safely?"

"No, let He An send it off." Ping An declined, "I've only been here for a long time, and I can't even recognize the way. It's not right if I go wrong and bump into someone."

From here to the Primordial Hall, it is only less than one mile away, how could it be possible to go the wrong way?What Ping An said was nothing more than a tactful excuse.Although Eunuch Tian wanted to praise him, if he acted too eagerly, he might be looked down upon instead.Besides, what Ping An wants is not such a "beautiful job" as sending booklets. Even if there is a one-in-a-million chance of being valued by the higher-ups, he doesn't care.

He still prefers to walk up one step at a time, such Qingyun Road is not a castle in the sky.Otherwise, no one knows when the pavilion collapses and where it will fall.

As expected, Eunuch Tian was quite satisfied, "Alright, let He Anna go for a trip. He has been coveting this job for more than a day."

Squatting here to sort the memorials, although it is a very important job, for most people, it actually has no future at all.Wanting to change is inevitable.

——Especially the person who was compared with An and Ping An, who came out of Neishutang, Ping An went to the economics factory, and was promoted to the value house.He himself was always standing still.If you don't work hard, you may be surpassed.

Returning to his seat safely, after thinking for a while, he still found a small note and wrote a few words, put it in his purse, found a loophole and slipped it out to a little eunuch who was sweeping at the door.This is Zhao Can's person.It's hard for him to buy people with high positions, but these inconspicuous ones are fine.Just for the purpose of passing the message.

Zhao Can almost knew the content of this memorial together with the emperor. Although there were only a few words of reminders, Zhao Can had been in the palace for a long time, so he was very clear about the twists and turns inside, and immediately guessed what was going on.

Prime Minister He is probably really sick, let's not say how serious the illness is, but he wants to use this method to make the emperor think of the benefits of their He family again.If this bitter scene is performed well, maybe He's charges can be washed away.Even if he can't regain his status, he has finally lost his status as a sinner.It is good for herself and the third prince.

As expected of He Youjun, he is really scheming.

Zhao Can laughed, but didn't pay much attention to it.

Because he is familiar with history, he knows that He Youjun is not at the end of the road, and doing this now is nothing more than to be safer.Otherwise, he is really seriously ill and comatose, who knows what the emperor will do?Then there is no possibility of turning around at all.

In the last life, He Youjun succeeded.The emperor cared about his status as a veteran of the three dynasties, and he didn't want to chill the minister's heart, so he allowed concubine He Shu to go home to visit relatives, and then returned to the harem again, changed her residence, and was named a beauty.This score is indeed very low, but it is enough for the He family to breathe a sigh of relief.

There is even an indescribable benefit—they used to be the thorn in the flesh of the other people in the harem, but now they are nothing to be afraid of, and the sight of them is greatly reduced.

If not so many things happened later, perhaps with He Youjun's calculations, He and Zhao Kun could really die in the palace safely.

Afterwards, He Youjun acted as if he had recovered from his illness because of his daughter's happy event. Even though the emperor was in a panic, knowing that he had been tricked by him, there was nothing he could do.After all, it is impossible for him to change what he said in a golden eloquence.

In his previous life, He Youjun succeeded in his calculations, but now that he has himself, Zhao Can smiled slightly, and this matter may not be so easy.

There are many ways to show favor... in many ways.

……

The emperor's breakfast was eaten in the Changle Palace of Concubine Zheng Gui.

In addition to those young and fresh beauties in the palace today, Concubine Zheng can be described as thriving.Because no matter how much the emperor loves the beauties, he will definitely not be able to surpass Zheng Guifei, who has a deep foundation and the eldest son.

In the past two years, under Zhao Can's indistinct reminder, whether it is the Queen Mother, Zheng Guifei, or Zhao Rong, there has been a small change from before - they are not so ostentatious.Even the favored relatives are still cautious, low-key and self-sustaining.The emperor is not a fool, so he naturally sees them, so he has a better impression of them.

After gaining the sweetness, Concubine Zheng naturally continued to work hard.This kind of warm breakfast without any ostentation, just a family sitting at the table, is one of her strategies.

It is said that people's hearts are biased, which side will this heart be biased towards?Compared with the son who didn't see him once in ten days and half a month, the son who ate together at the dinner table every day, could talk to the emperor, and answered the emperor's fluently, was naturally more favored.

And the atmosphere in Changle Palace is good, so the emperor is naturally willing to come.His scheming in the court was exhausting enough, if he didn't have that need, he would naturally prefer this kind of family-like relaxing atmosphere.

Today is no exception.

Before the meal, the supervisor of etiquette sent some memorials as usual.The emperor flipped through it casually, and happened to find the letter sent by Marquis Bonin.

Seeing that he has been reading the memorial, Concubine Zheng asked curiously, "Your Majesty, is there any interesting thing coming up below?"

The emperor shook his head, "It doesn't count." He said as he handed the booklet to Concubine Zheng, "It also involves palace affairs, so you can take a look."

"He Xiang is seriously ill. Marquis Boning, please let Mrs. He go home to visit relatives?" Concubine Zheng frowned, "Even the queen in the palace has a custom to go home to visit relatives. It is unheard of for sinners to visit relatives!"

"Bo Ninghou means that everything should be kept simple, just carry people over in a small sedan chair?" Seeing the following, Concubine Zheng sternly scolded, "It's ridiculous! Even if Mrs. He is a sinner now, he was once a sinner. Concubine, give birth to a prince! What a small sedan chair, I think the He family is confused!"

Only concubines with low status in the folk would be carried in a small sedan chair at night, otherwise at least two tables of banquets would be set up at home.As for the palace... Only concubines who committed serious crimes and were ordered to die would be carried out in a small sedan chair and buried.

What does the He family mean by saying that?

If the emperor saw this memorial alone, he would inevitably reflect on the benefits of the He family. It would be normal for him to feel sorry for him and agree to this ridiculous proposal.But with Concubine Zheng here, he first took advantage of the righteousness, and then proposed that He Jia had ulterior motives, which made the emperor unbearably suspicious, and naturally he would not think about the good.

"It's just that He Xiang is seriously ill. If he can't even see his daughter for the last time, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of the courtiers." The emperor said.

Concubine Zheng still had a cold face, "If you ask for other favors, that's fine. Even if I want to send another daughter into the palace, I can agree, but this is not enough! The royal family has royal rules, how can they be broken at will? Is it true that the emperor will not allow such a request?"

The emperor couldn't help but laugh, "The funeral is about to take place, and it's lucky that you can figure it out by sending another daughter into the palace."

"Actually, there is not only one way for my father to be kind to the He family." Zhao Rong said from the side, "He Xiang is a veteran of the three dynasties, my father might as well go to express condolences in person. This is a great grace. It is more honorable than letting Mrs. He go home to visit relatives, and it is unknown if He Xiang is happy and recovers from his illness."

The emperor's eyes flashed, and he looked at Zhao Rong with some appreciation, "My son said it well!"

This is why the thinking is busy, because this memorial circles the matter around "whether or not to let Mrs. He go home", and it is difficult for people to think outside of this circle for a while.Otherwise, with the shrewdness of the emperor, how could he be caught?

And when he realized this, he couldn't help but have doubts about the memorial.Is this the kind of scheming and palace that that dude of Boning Hou can have?If not, then who?

Almost no need to think about it.

Concubine Zheng Gui and Zhao Rong looked at each other, then turned their heads to signal to the waiters around them, and immediately someone stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Empress, Your Highness, breakfast is ready."

"Then send it up." Zheng Guifei said and turned to the emperor, "Your Majesty, don't worry about these things, you should eat first."

"Exactly." Zhao Rong said, "What can pass through Father's dragon body? By the way, there is a dish today, Father must try it."

"Oh? It seems there is a story?" The emperor also relaxed and asked with a smile.

Zhao Rong was a little embarrassed, "I tasted it when my son left the palace a few days ago. It tasted very good. My son originally wanted to let the imperial dining room make it to honor his father and mother. Who knew that he would only find out if he sent someone to ask?" It’s just a folk snack, and no one in the palace knows how to make it.”

As he spoke, he couldn't help sighing, "My son used to think that being born in the emperor's family must have enjoyed all the good things in the world. But he didn't expect that he might not even have a bowl of ordinary snacks. It can be seen that people should walk more and see more. .The book said: 'Read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles.' Sincerely do not deceive me!"

"That's right." The emperor looked at him with satisfaction, "It's rare for you to be able to think of these things. Then why is there another one in the snack palace? Could it be that you asked the people in the imperial dining room to learn it?"

"Those people in the imperial dining room are extremely pedantic, saying that it is difficult to be elegant, and they refuse to learn. I think that my father is sitting on thousands of miles of land, but he can't even eat a snack, so I can't help being angry." Zhao Rong said, "Later, I talked to my seventh brother. He said that since I have filial piety, why didn't I learn how to make it for my father? Folk snacks are not worthy of being served on the imperial table, but my son's food for his father is not so particular."

"Your Majesty doesn't know?" Concubine Zheng also said beside her, "That child Can'er is extremely filial. Every year on the Empress Dowager's birthday, she would stay up all night to prepare and cook a bowl of longevity noodles for the Empress Dowager. What does our family lack? Isn’t it the kindness and filial piety that are missing?”

The emperor nodded slightly when he heard the words, "That's right. Then let someone bring it up. I'd like to see what you made yourself look like."

In words, I still don't believe that Zhao Rong can do a good job, but this kind of heart is rare.After all, he is proud by nature, and it is not easy to take the initiative to cook.

As a result, what was served was much better than the emperor had imagined.He tasted it, it was fresh and tender, he couldn't help but nodded and said, "Yes, I was afraid that the food you made would not be eaten. Now it seems that it is not inferior to the chef of the imperial dining room. What kind of food is this, but it is fresh. "

"Huifuhuang, the folks call it bean curd. It is made from soybeans that are ground into a pulp, and then made with brine." Zhao Rong said.

Concubine Zheng said, "Although my concubine has never eaten this bean curd, I have heard a common saying: Tofu in brine, one thing is one thing. It can be seen that even the folks have hidden great wisdom."

The emperor gave a "hmm" and lowered his head to eat.The palace pays attention to not talking when eating or sleeping, and this time the pre-dinner conversation will stop at that.

After breakfast, he went back to Benchu ​​Hall, and after approving the memorial for a while, the emperor asked Wang Lixin, "What day did He Xiang get sick? What did the imperial hospital say?"

The most important thing to serve in front of the imperial court is to adapt to the situation and answer right now.Being able to secure the position of eunuch in the hands of the chief inspector of ceremonies and gain the trust and reliance of the emperor, Wang Lixin is naturally familiar with the matters that the emperor may care about. The imperial physician was sent three times, and they said that the situation was worse once than the last time, He Xiang is old after all."

"I remember, He Xiang was a Jinshi in Taizong's court?"

"Yes, in the 16th year of Xuande. The winner is Yijia No.3, Tanhualang."

"The elders of the three dynasties..." The emperor sighed and stopped talking.Wang Lixin took a step back, bowed and stood, thinking in his heart, is it possible that the emperor intends to favor the He family?Otherwise, I wouldn't ask about these old things.

Speaking of it, He Youjun didn't have the heart of today, but because he was a minister left by the former emperor, when he first came to the throne, he also assisted him.Although he was dismissed for angering the emperor, he was reinstated within three years, which shows his ability.

He is the most prestigious among the veterans in the court today.Seeing... the condition is like this, if there is Jia En, it seems that it is not unusual.

"Wang Lixin."

The emperor's call interrupted his thoughts, Wang Lixin quickly bowed and said, "The servant is here."

"I want to go and see He Xiang, don't disturb too many people." The emperor ordered.

"Yes." After Wang Lixin agreed, he immediately withdrew to prepare.It's not that the emperor has gone out without a white dragon fish suit before, and the preparations are all skillful.All he needs to do is give an order.

Although the emperor said he wanted to see He Youjun, state affairs were the most important thing after all, and he didn't make time until Shen Shichu.Wang Lixin waited for him to change his clothes, and called his apprentice Wang Xing (xing) to follow him.He was getting old, and he was going out of the palace with the emperor, fearing that he might not be properly served, so he had been served by his apprentices for the past two years, which could be regarded as paving the way for them.

Although the emperor said that there was no need to alarm too many people when he left the palace, this certainly did not include the supervisor of ceremonies. ——They were the first to get the news. After all, the emperor's unfinished memorials had to be re-sorted today, and those that had been sorted and planned to be sent had to be sealed first.Besides, there are always rumors that someone from above followed the emperor out.As long as most of the officials in the harem and court are kept secret, that's all.

So before the emperor left the palace, Ping An had already heard the news.He and Eunuch Tian exchanged glances, and both couldn't help smiling.At least this time the memorial was sent correctly.As for the merits, Wang Lixin will remember them for them.

Other benefits may not be apparent for a while, but eunuch Tian values ​​safety more, but it is real.He is now willing to discuss with Ping An if there is anything he can't make up his mind about.
