Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 936 Song Wenyi again?
After leaving Nangong, sitting in the carriage, Zhu Yi touched the brocade box in front of her eyes which contained the emperor's inscription, thinking for a while.

He didn't know much about Song Wenyi.

This is actually normal, after all, Chengguo's mansion is the home of the lords, although they don't avoid eunuchs like the civil servants in the court, but unless they are big like Wang Zhen and Jin Ying, they won't be able to catch up with them to make friends.

The guarding eunuch said it was big or small, and there were dozens of people in various places. When Song Wenyi left Beijing, Zhu Yi hadn't been involved in the court, so naturally he had no dealings with him, and he didn't know. The basis of origin, temperament and temper.

However, judging from the Taishang Emperor's reaction today, he is obviously happy to see Song Wenyi's return to Beijing, especially the inadvertent look on Song Wenyi's face when he first heard about this person. Although it was unexpected, it was more of a surprise.

There must be some origin in this!
But what it is specifically, when Zhu Yi was in the hall just now, Zhu Yi probed, but Zhu Qizhen didn't say much, just mentioned it lightly.

So, does the Son of Heaven know this?Did he know the origin of it and deliberately transferred Song Wenyi back, or did he not know his position as the Supreme Emperor had guessed, and let him return to Beijing for the sake of favoring Wang Ao?
Zhu Yi's brows were furrowed tightly, and her thoughts were troubled for a while.

After a while, he shook his head lightly. The key to this matter lies in what position Song Wenyi has and what relationship he had with the Supreme Emperor.

Without this crucial piece of information, the puzzle cannot be completed.

This is not something that can be figured out by just thinking about it, so he simply put the matter behind him for the time being, and set his eyes on the brocade box in front of him again.

The Supreme Emperor asked him to hand over this inscription to Song Wenyi, no doubt, to test him, but how to hand it in is a problem.

It is definitely not acceptable to give directly!
Today's Zhu Yi is considered number one in the capital, especially since the last time he interceded for the Ren family, the government and the public have already paid attention to him.

It is not difficult for him to hand over this inscription to Song Wenyi.

However, since he can be valued by the Supreme Emperor and the Son of Heaven at the same time, this Song Wenyi is not a simple character.

Now that the emperor is in power, the emperor transferred him back to Beijing this time.

Therefore, as long as Song Wenyi has a little bit of political sensitivity, he will draw a clear line with the Supreme Emperor...at least on the surface.

If you want to test out his true attitude, then you can't hand it over directly like this, you need a suitable opportunity.

As for where this opportunity lies...

Zhu Yi thought for a moment, a smile appeared on her face, she gently opened the curtain, and said a few words to Qingfeng beside her.

then……

"what?"

In the Wenhua Palace, Zhu Qiyu was slightly surprised when he heard Shu Liang's report, and then, he felt a little amusing, and put the memorabilia he was writing aside.

Seeing this situation, Shu Liang stood aside and said with a wry smile.

"My lord, you heard me right. The Duke intends to have Xu Youzhen invite Song Wenyi to the mansion for a banquet in the name of a gift, and take the opportunity to send out that inscription. This is really..."

Thinking of their identities, Shu Liang smiled wryly.

God knows, when he got a letter from Zhu Yi and Xu Youzhen today, saying that this is a "blessed opportunity", the expression of the eunuch, the admiral of the East Factory, was so wonderful.

Looking again at the secret performances that the two of them handed over through Shu Liang, Zhu Qiyu couldn't help laughing and said.

"This is really a good choice!"

Shu Liang was helpless and didn't speak.

However, Zhu Qiyu restrained his smile and said.

"I'm not joking. It's more appropriate for Xu Youzhen to handle this matter."

"He is different from Zhu Yi. Zhu Yi has already made it clear that he is the emperor's man, but Xu Youzhen, at least on the surface, entered Zhan Shi's mansion with the help of Chen Xun. Above the court, he It has nothing to do with Nangong."

"Besides, this Xu Youzhen is a well-known official fan and likes to make money. People who are familiar with him know this well. Therefore, if he goes to make friends with Song Wenyi, it will not arouse suspicion."

The emperor's tone was relaxed, and Shu Liang also echoed beside him, saying.

"The emperor is wise, that's true. It's too much noise for a noble minister to make friends with Song Wenyi. Only Xueshi Xu can let go of his figure and won't be paid too much attention."

"However, this Song Wenyi has just returned to Beijing, I'm afraid it's not easy to see..."

The tone of these words was quite cautious, Zhu Qiyu glanced at him and said.

"It depends on Xu Youzhen's ability. This person is not a simple person. Just wait and see."

So, Shu Liang nodded, for some reason, he hesitated a little rare.

However, after a while, he still said cautiously.

"My lord, it's not the slaves who want to stir up trouble, but this Song Wenyi..."

Shu Liang didn't continue talking about the latter words.

However, Zhu Qiyu naturally understood and said directly.

"Are you trying to say that this Song Wenyi can't be trusted?"

Shu Liang thought for a while, lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, said.

"My lord, I dare not speculate on my lord's sacred heart, but now there are rumors in the outside world that Song Wenyi is going back to Beijing to succeed Eunuch Cheng as the supervisor of ceremonies."

"This Song Wenyi obviously has something to do with the Supreme Emperor. The slaves are worried that he will not serve the emperor wholeheartedly like Eunuch Cheng."

"My lord, there are many loyal and reliable eunuchs in the palace. Apart from slaves and eunuch Huai, Xu Yuan, the young supervisor of the ceremonial supervisor, Liao Guanbao, the eunuch of the supervisor, and Hao Yi, the young supervisor of the imperial horse supervisor, can all act as interim ministers. The supervisor of ceremonies will wait for a period of time, and after Mr. Cheng finishes his work and returns to the palace, he will hand it back to him."

"The supervisor of ceremonies has weight after all. Song Wenyi, the emperor still has to think about it..."

Zhu Qiyu looked at Shu Liang who was kneeling on the ground, and after a while, he shook his head and said.

"Get up!"

"Yes……"

Shu Liang got up cautiously, and took two steps forward, with a worried look on his face.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Qiyu said.

"What you said is correct, Song Wenyi and the Supreme Emperor are indeed closely related."

Shu Liang was surprised by Zhu Qiyu's first sentence.

Seeing Shu Liang's surprised expression, Zhu Qiyu smiled and said.

"Not many people know about this matter, and I only learned about it from Jin Ying's letter to me."

"Song Wenyi was originally a scholar, but after repeated trials and failures, he entrusted his relationship and entered the palace. When he first entered the palace, the former emperor was still in power. At that time, Wang Zhen was sent to serve the Supreme Emperor. Wang Zhen's subordinates are doing things."

"However, because this person has some knowledge, he often secretly competes with Wang Zhen, but he does not have the time to flatter Wang Zhen, so he is often compared by Wang Zhen."

"Later, after the Supreme Emperor succeeded to the throne, he favored Wang Zhen even more. As a result, he was embarrassed everywhere, and his temper gradually sank. He knew that he had offended Wang Zhen. If he continued to stay in the palace, he was afraid that the situation would become worse. The worse it gets, so I asked Jin Yingna."

"Jin Ying upholds Buddhism, and Song Wenyi did what he liked, spent all his wealth, rebuilt Chongfu Temple, and offered Jin Ying a longevity tablet."

"Later, with the help of Jin Ying, he relied on his own little boxing skills to show his face by the side of the Supreme Emperor when he came to the hunting ground several times. So, at Jin Ying's suggestion, he was released by the Supreme Emperor. In Liaodong, be the guarding eunuch."

"In Jin Ying's letter to me, it is said that this person has a kind face and a deceitful heart, and is good at making money. Although he has some ability, he is easily deceived by wealth, fame and fortune. He is not a real Buddhist..."

It turned out to be the case.

Shu Liang blinked his eyes, he didn't expect such an inside story to exist.

However, this is also normal. Compared with Wang Zhen and Jin Ying's generation, Shu Liang's time in the palace is much shorter, so he is not clear about many secrets in the palace.

If one were to ask him the details of the eunuchs in the palace today, he would be able to tell a good deal, but he didn't know much about guarding eunuchs.

but……

"My lord, since that's the case, do you still want to use Song Wenyi?"

Boldly, Shu Liang asked again.

But this time, Zhu Qiyu didn't say much, just said.

"I have my own measure, you don't have to worry!"

Pausing for a moment, seeing that Shu Liang was still worried, Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said.

"Shu Liang, you, and Cheng Jing, Huai En, Xing'an, you people, I usually discipline you very strictly, but this is because I treat you as my own."

"As a eunuch, being too showy is not a good thing. You have done your duty loyally for me, and I want to consider your future."

"A few days ago, I had someone issue an edict to Jin Ying, asking him to buy more land, Zhuangzi, and houses in Nanjing, and to collect the old eunuchs who were released from the palace and leave them a place to live."

"After all, the court situation is dangerous. You are in charge of the East Factory, you are well-informed, and you have met many people of all kinds. It should be clear that those ministers outside have a lot of honey and swords."

"That's why I'm holding you back. I don't let you do some things. It's to prevent future troubles. I want you to be raised in peace and prosperity in the future, so that you won't end up in a bleak end, or be used as a scapegoat."

"But sometimes, some things have to be done."

"A loyal person has a usage of loyalty, and a person like Song Wenyi also has a usage of Song Wenyi..."

Ah this...

Shu Liangwan never thought that the emperor would use Song Wenyi for such a reason.

For a moment, he couldn't help but froze in place, with mixed feelings in his heart.

A moment later, Shu Liang knelt down, tears streaming down his face, and said.

"My servant thanked the emperor for his kindness, the emperor's kindness to my servant and others, my servant will never forget it, my servant... my servant..."

Shu Liang has always been eloquent, but for some reason, at this moment when he should show his loyalty the most, he can't say any fancy words. He just feels tight in his chest and can't tell what his emotions are.

In the past, he was naturally extremely loyal to Zhu Qiyu, even with reverence, but until that moment just now, he felt that there is such a master who can be loyal, even if he is asked to die the next moment, he will not willing.

The more excited he was, the more he couldn't speak cohesively. This was the first and only time that this powerful eunuch, the admiral of the East Factory, lost his composure in front of the emperor.

Many years later, whenever Shu Liang thinks of today's scene, he can still feel his current mood...

Zhu Qiyu was also a little melancholy.

After being reborn, he has indeed changed a lot.

When dealing with Shu Liang and the others, rather than saying that he was concerned about their situation, it would be better to say that he felt ashamed of his cowardly self in his previous life.

In his previous life, he would never think about the future of Shu Liang and others.

They are just slaves, it is their blessing to be able to use them.

However, after experiencing a death calamity, he understood a lot and became sober.

As the courtiers praised every day, Zhu Qiyu in this life is more like a saint, perfect...but rarely has the emotions of ordinary people.

Zhu Qiyu didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.

However, he knew it was the right path.

However, on this road, he also has his own remaining selfishness.

Empress Dowager Wu, Wang family, Hang family, Ji Ge'er, Hui sister's son... These relatives made him feel that he was a living person, no longer a lonely soul wandering in the Forbidden City.

Wang Wen, Yu Qian, Shu Liang, Cheng Jing...these people who were loyal and died for themselves can always remind him that they are not truly emotionless, high-ranking emperors.

This is not only because of the guilt of the previous life, but also to let him feel that he is still alive.

To put it bluntly, Zhu Qiyu was not what the government and the public thought, not even what Shu Liang thought at the moment, the kind of emperor who was compassionate and cared for his ministers and servants.

It's just that he has a special love for these limited few people...

After a while, Shu Liang stopped his excitement, kowtowed on the ground, and said.

"The slave girl lost her composure, please forgive me, the emperor."

"Get up."

Zhu Qiyu didn't care, seeing Shu Liang regained his composure, he continued to speak.

"With regard to Song Wenyi, Zhu Yi and Xu Youzhen want to test it out, so let them test it out, and when the time comes, just repeat it truthfully."

"It's still the same sentence, Zhu Yi's side, let him make decisions on the fly, as for Xu Youzhen, let him treat himself as the Supreme Emperor's person, do what he should do, and do things for the Supreme Emperor wholeheartedly. Now, it's not too late. It's time to use him."

"The slaves obey the order."

Shu Liang accepted the order, completely relieved.

What he was worried about at first was that the emperor didn't know Song Wenyi's true face and believed in someone wrongly.

But now, since the Son of Heaven already knows what kind of person Song Wenyi is, Shu Liang naturally understands that the Son of Heaven has his own considerations.

Still the same sentence, Eunuch Shu has always kept his duty, if the Supervisor of Rituals hadn't been too urgent, he wouldn't have spoken rashly today.

A moment later, a figure appeared at the gate of the hall, it was Huai En who was guarding outside the hall.

Seeing this situation, Shu Liang knew that Wynn must have something urgent to report.

So, he immediately stepped aside.

Then, Wynn came in and cupped his hands.

"Reporting to the Emperor, Lord Yiming has arrived in the capital and just handed over a sign asking to see the Emperor!"

"Yiming?"

Zhu Qiyu frowned and said.

"So anxious? Did you say something?"

Counting the days, it is true that Yiming should arrive in the capital, but he has always been a prudent character, so as soon as he arrived in the capital, he just handed over a sign to see him. Could it be that there is something urgent?

This……

Wynn hesitated for a moment, but still said.

"Going back to the emperor, the maidservant just asked a question. The meaning of the Bachelor of Tingyi seems to be related to Song Wenyi, the eunuch guarding Liaodong..."
