marquis of jingan

Chapter 502 It's all scheming?

After Shen Yi finished "reporting", he felt a lot more relaxed. After thanking Gao Ming, he got up and left the Ministry of Internal Affairs, leaving the palace and going home.

Eunuch Gao, on the other hand, sat there for quite a while.

He was thinking about whether to tell the emperor about this important matter.

After pondering for a while, he still stood up and walked towards the Ganlu Hall where the emperor was.

After entering the Ganlu Hall, the eunuch Gao walked to the stove next to the emperor, took care of the charcoal fire, added two pieces of charcoal to it, and then stood behind the emperor with a professional smile on his face.

"His Majesty…"

His Majesty the Emperor just woke up from a nap and was still a little confused. After hearing Gao Ming's voice, he glanced back at the eunuch Gao behind him, stretched his waist, and said lazily, "What's the matter?"

"It's not a big deal."

Gao Ming bent his waist cautiously, and said: "Your Majesty, just now Master Shen came into the palace to look for the servant, and asked the servant to do something. It's not a big deal, and the servant was thinking whether to tell His Majesty."

The emperor curled his lips: "Since you're standing here, you've already made up your mind to tell me, don't be a secret, talk about something."

Gao Ming seemed to have seen through his mind, lowered his head slightly, and said honestly: "It is such a majesty, in the past few days, the child in Mr. Shen's family is full moon, and many people have sent gifts to his family..."

Eunuch Gao said the matter in a calm and unhurried tone, and then he carefully looked at the emperor's face, and lowered his head again: "Master Shen is panicked, I'm afraid it was done by the people of Qi, so he entrusted the servants Send the inner guard to check."

The emperor was awake now, he looked at Gao Ming and asked, "Are you ready?"

Gao Ming quickly shook his head: "Slaves, how dare you, the inner guard is His Majesty's personal army, and slaves have no right to call..."

This statement is pure nonsense.

On the surface, the inner guard is led by a commander, and is not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but in fact, many orders from the emperor are conveyed to the inner guard through Gao Ming. This high eunuch has the right to speak in the inner guard , among other things, such a trivial matter as checking things in Jiankang City does not require the emperor's order at all. It only needs a casual word from eunuch Gao, and the inner guards will do it immediately.

But in front of the emperor, of course you have to have a higher EQ.

The emperor sat up from the soft couch, took a sip of the hot tea that had been prepared on the table, and then said lightly: "Shen Yi has contributed a lot to going south, but there is no way to give him this credit right away. I have treated him badly. Since he asks the palace to do something, then you should try your best to do it for him and find out the matter early so that he can feel at ease."

Gao Ming quickly bowed his head and said, "Your servant understands."

"Slaves will arrange it now."

Gao Ming was about to go down to work, but was stopped by the emperor. The emperor took a look at Gao Ming and asked, "What do you think about this matter?"

Gao Ming bowed his head and said: "This servant thinks that Mr. Shen's guess is the most likely, but there are other possibilities."

The emperor smiled and said, "What's possible?"

"It's possible that someone in my dynasty wants to use this to destroy the upstart Shen Yi. For example, Master Shen has offended the Fan family, the Yang family and..."

"And the Marquis of Anping."

"However, this possibility is unlikely. After all, these people are not stupid, and there is no reason to fall into such useless hands."

"Another possibility is..."

Eunuch Gao lowered his voice, and said, "Master Shen is talking to himself, and he arranged this libretto..."

The emperor became interested and asked, "What is the motive?"

Gao Ming obviously had a plan in mind, he lowered his head slightly and said: "Your Majesty also knows that the people in my court who can be noticed by Qi people and start to make arrangements are usually important ministers of the third rank or above, or some influential people. Shi, if Master Shen can be schemed against by Qi people at this time, it means that he has a very important weight in Qi people's hearts."

"On the other hand, he is a very important person to me..."

"If Master Shen is talking about himself, the servant thinks that the motivation is very simple, and it is nothing more than to raise his position in His Majesty's heart..."

Gao Ming wanted to continue talking, but the emperor waved his hand and said flatly: "You, you have been in the dark for too long, and you always think about everything in the dark, and Shen Yi can't do this kind of thing."

Having said this, the emperor paused, looked at Gao Ming, and suddenly emphasized his tone: "I thought it was a gift from the people of Qi."

After saying this, the emperor waved his hand: "Okay, you go down and do your business."

Gao Ming was taken aback for a moment, then bowed his head deeply: "I understand."

The emperor's words were not very cryptic, to such a degree, Gao Ming, the great eunuch, could naturally hear it.

The emperor said he thought it was the people of Qi who did it.

So no matter who did it, or who gave the gift to Shen Yi's family, it doesn't matter anymore.

From now on, no matter how the inner guard investigates and finds out, this matter will be done by the Qi people, and it is a sure thing.

No one can change this result.

At least in Chen country.

And the purpose of His Majesty the Emperor's doing so is not difficult to guess.

It was nothing more than to hold onto Shen Yi's handle, a handle that was already approaching fatal.

One day in the future, when Shen Yi becomes difficult to control, or becomes difficult to use, the emperor or the inner guard can bring up this matter and bring up the old matter again.

In this way, Master Shen can be accused of "Tongqi".

Moreover, this charge is vivid and well-founded.

Thinking of this, Gao Ming felt admiration from the bottom of his heart.

His Majesty the emperor, although he is not very old, is already in place no matter whether it is the scheming city or the way of doing things.

There is both the heart of the emperor and the art of the emperor.

big chen...

We are about to usher in the Lord of England.

Eunuch Gao thought so.

But when he walked out of Ganlu Hall and walked towards the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he thought of Shen Yi who came to look for him at noon for no reason.

That same young man.

Eunuch Gao stopped in his tracks, he glanced thoughtfully outside the palace, and a thought flashed in his mind.

This handle...

Did the young man take the initiative to hand it over to His Majesty?

By giving the emperor a handle, let the emperor be completely at ease with him...

Thinking of this, Eunuch Gao felt weirder the more he thought about it...

Because Shen Yi encountered this matter, there was no need to alarm the palace in such a hurry.

If he wanted to clean himself up, he could completely destroy those stolen goods, and then categorically deny it. Anyway, these gifts did not have half of Shen Yi's handwriting and half of his seal from beginning to end...

He can deny it.

Thinking of this, Eunuch Gao froze in place, only felt a bolt of lightning exploded in his mind, and then he felt numb from head to spine.

"should…"

Eunuch Gao murmured: "It shouldn't be the case..."

He comforted himself in his heart.

"Mostly, Shen Yi has never experienced major incidents, so he will panic when encountering such incidents, and only then will he find the palace and let the inner guard clear him of the suspicion..."

"A young man under the age of 20 will never have such a city, no way..."

Eunuch Gao tried hard to convince himself of this inference.

Then he thought of his majesty the emperor.

It seems... the same age as Shen Yi...

The chief eunuch walked back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs in a daze, and was in a daze for a long time in his own place.

After a long time, he opened his mouth slowly and gave instructions to the two young eunuchs.

"Ask the inner guard to send someone over..."
