Qing Jialu

The days passed by, and it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in a blink of an eye.Shen Jia's new official took office, and he was very busy. First, he captured Xu Wenmao, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and sent him to the imperial prison for strict interrogation;Since many ministers did not understand the coastal situation, Shen Jia and Du Huan wrote down the inspection process in detail for the officials' reference.

But in the inner palace, it is much quieter.Xiao Yi completely let go of government affairs, studying, practicing Taoism, and playing with Nuannuan every day.

Now Nuan Nuan can climb, and especially likes to climb around on the wide dragon bed.Mujin Kapok was worried that Nuan Nuan would stain His Majesty's sheets, but Xiao Yi himself didn't mind.He sat on the bed and teased Nuan Nuan with a rattle, and when Nuan Nuan heard it, he would crawl to Xiao Yi's side according to the sound.

Nuan Nuan crawled over slowly, drooling and smiling at Xiao Yi.Her eyes were fixed on the rattle in Xiao Yi's hand, and she stretched out her small arms to reach it.Seeing this, Xiao Yi smiled, handed the rattle to Nuan Nuan, and picked her up by the way.Now that his arms have regained strength, he can hold a four-month-old baby.

It's just that his legs are still weak and he can't walk upright.Shen Jia and Mu Mian often massaged his legs to help restore their strength.

"Nuan Nuan is the closest to His Majesty now, but her father, who doesn't stay at home for three days, doesn't kiss anymore." Mu Jin pretended to pout and complained.

Xiao Yi smiled and said, "It's your elder brother's fault, he is the one who held onto your husband."

"The servant girl knows that the elder brother is busy, and the husband can share the worries of the elder brother, which is considered to be of some use to him."

"By the way, how are the Supervisor of Rites and the East Factory doing?" Xiao Yi asked Kapok.

Kapok replied politely: "Your Majesty, everything is fine. It's just that Eunuch Chen is always worried about you and said he wants to come to the palace to have a look."

"He himself is sick, and he still misses me." The matter of Xiao Yi's critical illness before had been kept a secret from Eunuch Chen.Chen Jinzhong didn't know until recently.

"Your Majesty, why don't you let Eunuch Chen come into the palace to meet you?" Mu Mian suggested, "Eunuch Chen is feeling better recently, so you can come out and walk around."

"Alright." Xiao Yi nodded, he knew Chen Jinzhong's character, and he might not feel relieved if he didn't take a look.

After hearing that His Majesty agreed to enter the palace, Eunuch Chen couldn't wait to go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to face the saint the next day.But this time, Chen Jinzhong was carried in by the little eunuch.When he reached the entrance of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Eunuch Qin went up to meet him, and entered the inner hall along with his master.

I haven't seen His Majesty for a long time. When I saw Long Yan haggard for the first time, Eunuch Chen felt a sore nose and wanted to kneel down tremblingly to salute.

"Excuse me." Xiao Yi hurriedly stopped, and said to Xiao Qinzi, "Quickly, help your master to sit down."

Eunuch Qin hurriedly moved the stool and placed it beside His Majesty's dragon bed.

"Your Majesty, why have you lost so much weight?" Eunuch Chen wiped away his tears, "This old servant only found out that His Majesty was ill a few days ago, and I heard from Mu Mian that the cold poison had completely broken out this time. Now, the old slave will not be able to see His Majesty."

"You're old too, and your hair is all white." Xiao Yi looked at the top of Chen Gonggong's head, and said calmly, "I used to say that I would take care of you for the elderly, but in this situation, I don't know who will go ahead."

"Your Majesty, don't say that." Eunuch Chen hurriedly said, "The Son of Heaven will live a hundred years, and he will surely find an antidote to dissolve the cold poison."

"Loyalty, you are an old man by my side, and you have watched me grow up." Xiao Yi sighed, "Only with you can I speak my heart."

"Your Majesty..." Eunuch Chen choked with tears and said, "What do you want to say, this old servant is listening."

"Doctor Fan said that I'm afraid I only have three years left." Xiao Yi said honestly, "It would be best if he could find an antidote in the future, if not, Shen Jia...what will he do."

Shen Jia now seems to be at the pinnacle of power and is the chief assistant of the cabinet, but his foundation is unstable and he has few cronies in the court.

Eunuch Chen has been in the palace for many years, so he can naturally see this level. He said: "In the future, if Your Majesty... His Majesty dies, King Su will definitely treat his teacher kindly after he succeeds to the throne."

Fortunately, Xiao Yi buried the thread in advance, so that King Su and Shen Jia became a teacher-student relationship, paving the way for him in the future.

"It's just that King Su hasn't reached the crown yet, so I'm worried whether he can take on the heavy responsibility."

"His Royal Highness Su is a little timid, and this old servant feels that he has his own ideas." Chen Jinzhong said, "Besides, His Royal Highness Su is sixteen this year, and it's time to discuss marriage. grown up."

Eunuch Chen's words comforted Xiao Yu, he nodded and said, "That's very good, I started to train my fourth brother a long time ago, just hoping that he will mature soon."

"Your Majesty is far-sighted, and His Royal Highness King Su will understand your painstaking efforts and live up to what you entrusted." Eunuch Chen echoed from the side.

"There are also the Supervisor of Rites and Dongchang." Xiao Yi looked at Chen Jinzhong, "At present, I am suppressing the above, and you are helping me, so Kapok has managed it very well in the past two years. But, if I am gone , Kapok may not be able to restrain those people under him."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, this old slave will do her best to help her." Eunuch Chen said, "It's just that this old slave's body may not be able to last for a few years, and it's time to step down. If Kapok is more ruthless, it will be fine .”

Xiao Yi took it very seriously, "She is good at everything, but she has the benevolence of a woman in her heart, and she is too loose with the people below."

After Kapok took over the East Factory, he has always used a soft policy and is kind to the people below. Even if someone made a mistake in the task, he didn't get angry.And those Dongchang fanzi mainly did things for the royal family, and most of the things that Kapok ordered were for His Majesty, so they were also polite to Kapok and completed the tasks as required, but they didn't respect her from the bottom of their hearts.

Now Kapok is backed by His Majesty, and he speaks confidently.If His Majesty passed away, it would be difficult for her to gain a foothold in Dongchang and the Supervisor of Rites.

"Your Majesty, why do you think too much. You can help for a while, but you won't be able to help forever. If it is the case with kapok, the same is true for Mr. Shen Ge." Eunuch Chen persuaded, "However, this old slave heard that Mr. Shen Ge has acted vigorously recently, and sent Tan The Xu family and the Xu family were wiped out."

"Let him make trouble, I don't bother to ask." Xiao Yi shook his head and smiled, "I'm really curious about how far Shen Jia can go."

"I remember when Shen Ge first came to the capital to become an official, you were still worried that he was a straight minister who looked down upon and useless. Now it seems that Shen Ge is always a capable minister."

Xiao Yi also remembered what he said to Eunuch Chen before, and he said with a smile: "Indeed, Shen Jia has given me too many surprises."

Who would have thought that a seventh-rank sesame official from Qingshui County would climb up to the position of chief assistant of the cabinet step by step in the turbulent capital city.

It only took six short years to reach a height that others might not be able to reach in their lifetime.

However, Xiao Yi became even more worried.When he is in power, Shen Jia can be kept safe, but what if he is not around?

Climbing high and falling heavy, like this in ancient times.
