marquis of jingan

Chapter 563
If Gu Hengbo chooses the first way to enter the palace, Shen Yi can do it for her. After all, Master Shen's rank is not low now. Although he doesn't have many former disciples, he still knows some officials.

Officials from Ganquan Academy would probably not do this kind of dirty work, but those small officials in the Ministry of War who had no chance of promotion would rush to do it.

But now, Gu Hengbo wanted to be directly selected by the emperor to enter the palace from the family of a senior official, which was beyond Shen Yi's ability.

To be able to be visited by the emperor, at least it is reasonable to be a third-rank official, but if Shen Yi wants to talk to people of this level, he must go through Zhao Changping or the old prime minister Zhang Jing.

If it's something else, it's nothing to ask these two elders, but it's really not a glorious thing to get a prostitute into the palace for the emperor, so Shen Yi has no choice but to inform Gao Ming do.

If Eunuch Gao is not willing, then he, Master Shen, will not insist on doing it any longer, and is ready to pick someone up.

After roughly explaining the specific situation to Eunuch Gao, Shen Yi sighed and said, "Eunuch Gao, you also know that you didn't know a few ministers in the court at all, let alone talk to them about such things. It's time for something to happen, Eunuch Gao, you have presided over the inner court for many years, and you still need to do this kind of thing."

Gao Ming sat in his seat, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, then sighed slightly: "It's not easy."

If you go to the so-called "Qingliu" of Zhao Changping's faction to do this kind of thing, those people will definitely not be able to do it for the sake of reputation, but if you go to the people from Yang Jingzong's side, they will of course agree, but It is inevitable that this matter will not be spread in secret.

It's nothing to spread the word, what I'm most afraid of is falling into the ears of the empress dowager, which is not easy to handle.

In fact, the most fundamental reason for hiding this in the palace is that the empress dowager would find out, otherwise, getting a woman into the palace would only be a matter of a word from eunuch Gao.

Speaking of this, Gao Ming glanced at Shen Yi, and said in a low voice: "I will report this matter to His Majesty as soon as possible, and obey His Majesty's decision. If there are no other changes, I will not bother Shen Shi to read you."

"correct."

Eunuch Gao paused, and said slowly: "Shen Shidu, two days later there will be a court meeting once every ten days. Now, Shen Shidu, you are a fifth-rank official, and you should go to court with all the officials."

"Your Majesty will talk about the anti-Japanese war at the court meeting, and slap those conservative and corrupt scholars in the face. At that time, Shen Shidu, don't forget to go to court."

Shen Yi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled wryly: "Eunuch Gao, although you are a fifth-rank official, you have no job in Beijing, so..."

"We still have to go."

Eunuch Gao glanced at Shen Yi with a smile, and said softly, "Don't worry, Shen Shidu, those rotten scholars dare not do anything to you. Besides, Shen Shidu..."

"The power is not small."

What Gao Ming said, most likely refers to the Ganquan Academy forces behind Shen Yi.

In the past 30 to [-] years, Ganquan Academy has experienced a sharp increase in the "admission rate", resulting in a large number of Jinshi. Up to now, although no one worships the chancellor, and only Zhao Changping is the real high-level official, the victory lies in the large number of people. The most well-known "Seven Sons of Ganquan", the six people in office now, most of them are officials of the fourth and fifth ranks, and one of them has reached the rank of Guanglu Temple Minister from the third rank.

It can be said that there are very many middle and senior officials.

That's why Gao Ming said that Shen Yi's power is not small.

Master Shen rubbed his forehead, only to feel a headache.

It is true that he was born in an academy, but he was promoted too quickly after he became an official. The people in the academy may not be jealous of him, and his biggest "achievement" since he became an official was actually leading troops to fight. Wen Chen was out of place.

Although looking at Zhao Changping's face, those people in the academy would not make things difficult for him, but it is nonsense to say that they are on his side.

Shen Yi sighed and didn't say much.

Eunuch Gao continued: "The other thing is about the Northern Qi Qingjing Department."

The great eunuch glanced at Shen Yi, and said in a low voice: "The Department of Purity had no plan to assassinate you. They should have received some news from our dynasty, and then regarded Shen Shi as one of the targets of the assassination." one."

"However, the inner guard is still slowly tracking down who is in touch with Qingjing Si, but..."

Eunuch Gao took a deep breath, and said, "The Northern Qi Qingjing Department has many sources of information, and there are only a few clues, so it is difficult for the inner guards to fully investigate."

"It doesn't matter if you can't find out."

Shen Yi smiled and said: "I'm in the middle, so it's not difficult to guess who wants me to die."

Eunuch Gao frowned: "Don't make wild guesses."

After saying this, the eunuch himself couldn't help squinting his eyes.

"If it's really them..."

Eunuch Gao spoke slowly.

"They... will be punished."

…………

After having a meal with Eunuch Gao in Cuiyun Building, Shen Yi went home to rest when it got dark.

The next day, His Majesty the Emperor seemed to be bored of staying in the palace, so he went out of the palace in low clothes.

After wandering the streets for a long time, His Majesty the Emperor happened to pass by the mansion of Lu Zheng, Minister of Dali Temple.

This minister of Dali Temple is a clean and honest official. Although he is a member of the third rank, he can't afford a house in Jiankang, so he can only rent a house to live in. His Majesty the Emperor was curious, so he went into the house of Lu Qingzheng. in a circle.

This house is extremely small, with only a small yard and four or five houses.

Most of Lu Qingzheng's family members are also in their hometown, only his wife and youngest son are with him in Jiankang, and there is not even a servant in the family.

After seeing the emperor, he was very moved, so he simply stayed and had a meal at Lu's house.

During the dinner, His Majesty the Emperor met Lu Qing's granddaughter who had just arrived in Jiankang from the countryside.

The emperor was astonished as a heavenly man, and Longyan was delighted.

After learning that this woman had never been married, the emperor immediately ordered the Zongfu to come over and make a ceremony, and take Miss Lu into the palace as a concubine.

People from the Zongfu soon arrived at Lu's house. Although this matter was against the rules, under the insistence of the emperor, the people from the Zongfu still followed the rules and brought Miss Lu into the palace according to the procedure.

Because Miss Lu's grandfather was a third-rank official in the imperial court, and because of His Majesty's wishes, this Miss Lu was hired as a concubine.

It belongs to the highest level among "concubines", second only to concubines.

Although Miss Lu was reluctant to part with her family, but the emperor's order was hard to break, she immediately knelt on the ground, bid farewell to the family, and entered the palace with the people of the Zongfu.

And Lu Qingzheng, the chief official of Dali Temple, also had tears all over his face, reluctantly sending his granddaughter into the palace. The old couple cried and burst into tears, obviously they were genuinely moved.

This matter sounds reasonable, but it is actually very weird.

Because from His Majesty the Emperor's visit at noon to Miss Lu's entry into the palace in the evening, it took only one day.

The concubine's process is complete.

It's almost unbelievable!
And at night, eunuch Gao Minggao came to Lu's house quietly.

Lu Qing was welcoming the eunuch Gao in respectfully, with a respectful demeanor.

After a few instructions from the Lu family, Eunuch Gao put a pamphlet in Lu Qingzheng's hand, and said calmly.

"The internal guard's record has been canceled."

The great eunuch glanced at Lu Qingzheng with some contempt in his eyes.

"The matter of Qingzheng accepting bribes is settled here, but..."

Eunuch Gao paused: "But Your Majesty said, don't blame the past, but in the future, I hope that Qingzheng can be as clean and honest as his reputation..."

Lu Qing was kneeling on the ground gratefully.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Eunuch Gao..."

He bowed his head and said: "I... I will definitely live up to my holy hope in the future..."

Eunuch Gao looked calm, stretched out his hand to help him up, and continued: "Besides, no matter who asks about today's matter, it must be rotten in the stomach."

"There are only three people in your family..."

Eunuch Gao's face was calm: "The three of you should keep your mouth shut, isn't it difficult?"

Lu Qing was forcing a smile on his face.

"Eunuch, don't worry..."

This Qingzheng master said in a low voice: "From today onwards, Xiaguan has such a granddaughter, whoever says Xiaguan does not have..."

Lu Qing said in a deep voice: "Then the officer will fight with him desperately!"
