Section 034 Confidentiality

After Chief Manager Ge finished speaking, there was silence in the Xici room, the old Hou Ye and the old lady stared deeply in thought, and no one spoke.

After a while, Old Hou Ye asked, "That's all?"

Mr. Ge Da said yes, after thinking about it, he hesitated to speak.

"What are you hesitating about? It doesn't matter what you have to say!" Old Master Xue was in a hurry. Seeing Chief Manager Ge like this, he was a little unhappy, and he couldn't help speaking sharply.

"Master Hou, do you still remember the incident between Qin Shilang and Zhou Dudu last time?" Chief Ge Da asked.

Of course Old Master Xue remembered.It was the twelfth lunar month of last year.

Qin Shilang is the Minister of the Ministry of War, and Zhou Dudu is the governor of the Right Army, both of whom are disciples of Master Xue.In the twelfth lunar month of last year, the snow lasted for half a month. The nomadic tribes in the southern desert country were hit by the snowstorm. Their cattle, horses and sheep froze to death, and their livelihood was insecure. They robbed the border towns and killed the border people many times.

Qin Shilang and Zhou Dudu wrote to the emperor, asking to send troops to guard and fight back against the looting of Nanzhi Kingdom.

Regardless of the emperor sitting in the Golden Palace, Mrs. Xiao immediately refuted, and angrily reprimanded Qin Shilang and Zhou Dudu for disregarding the peace between the two countries and insisting on provoking disputes. To deal with it, we must not hurt the peace of the two countries because of trivial matters, and increase the disaster of war.

Qin Shilang refused to accept it, and argued with Xiao Taifu Jinluandian, and Zhou Dudu also helped.

Seeing that the two talked arrogantly and reasoned, Mrs. Xiao was furious, and slapped Qin Shilang with a wave of his hand. Regardless of his sanctity, he roared at the Golden Palace, and asked the imperial guards to put Qin Shilang and Zhou Dudu into prison, without even wearing official uniforms. remove.

The court was full of civil and military officials, and the emperor didn't say a word.

Old Master Xue sneered, for the sake of his beauty, he did not quarrel with Mrs. Xiao in the Jinluan Hall.

Back home, Master Xue Laohou wrote to Emperor Yuanchang, complaining about the harm caused by the border raids. The two third-rank officials were sent to prison without being dismissed. They violated the laws of the country. The emperor asked the emperor to send troops to the northwest and release Qin Shilang and Zhou Dudu at the same time. Appease the hearts of civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty.

As a result, the emperor kept the memorial of old master Xue, but did not publish it.

On the third day, he issued an order to remove the two ministers from their official posts and hand them over to the three jurisprudence departments for joint trial.

Old Master Xue was so angry that his eyes turned black, and he said he was ill from then on.

He hated Taifu Xiao's arrogance, and also hated the emperor's forbearance, taking his disciples under the knife!

The emperor sent many ministers who had good relations with Mr. Xue to persuade Mr. Xue to return to court, but Mr. Xue ignored them until the emperor pretended to be a little eunuch from the Palace of Yonghe and came to Xue's mansion with Mr. Lou himself. Mr. Xue Only then did the Lord return to court.

At that time, Lord Hou was very moved.

According to the law of this dynasty, the emperor can only visit the old ministers before their death. Once the emperor is gone, the ministers can only be vacant.Therefore, the courtiers who were visited by the emperor, in order to maintain this honor, had to die if they didn't die!

This is stated in the law of this dynasty!

The emperor knew that the old Hou Ye was just pretending to be sick, condescending, and pretended to be a little eunuch to visit him. Although he was suspected of avoiding Taifu Xiao, the old Hou Ye was sincerely moved.

How can the old Hou forget this kind of favor?
But at this time, what did Manager Ge do when he brought up this matter?
"Sister Yuan's appointment as the Princess, what does it have to do with Qin Shilang's matter?" Old Master Xue frowned.

But the old lady had a flash of inspiration in her mind, and her face changed slightly.

Director Ge lowered his head, and his attitude was more humble: "Master Hou was demoted because of Qin Shilang, and you didn't see Eunuch Lou when he came to visit his doctor. Then Eunuch Lou said that the Holy Lord was driving me, and I dared not stop him, so I took them away." Enter the inner house. At the door, we met Miss Jiu."

After listening to these words, Old Master Xue carefully considered the causes and consequences of the dispute between the emperor and the queen mother, and suddenly became enlightened.

"...At that time, Miss Jiu almost slipped and fell, and the emperor helped her up." Chief Manager Ge's face turned pale, "I dare not say it, it's just a coincidence at that time..."

Hearing these words, Old Master Xue and the old lady had gloomy expressions on their faces.

"You go. Check it up and down. If you miss a single word in the words from the imperial concubine, you all don't live!" After a long silence, Old Master Xue said to Mr. Ge Da.

Chief Manager Ge got up and promised: "Don't worry, Lord Hou, I won't miss a single word!"

Old Hou Ye thought for a while, and then said: "There is probably a reason for this. You should work hard on the eunuchs in the imperial study and see if you can find out anything."

The emperor met Sister Yuan, fell in love with her, and proposed to the empress dowager to let Sister Yuan enter the palace. The queen mother must be furious and compare Sister Yuan to Daji, Zheng Xiu and others?

Sister Yuan is the direct lady of Zhenxianhou's mansion, how could she be reduced to being so viciously scolded by the Queen Mother?

There must be a reason for this.

Chief Ge Da said yes, turned around and left Rongde Pavilion.

As soon as Manager Ge left, Old Hou Ye was still not at ease, got up and said: "I'll go to the outer courtyard to have a look, you don't have to worry."

The old lady hummed and got up to send the old master out.

After the old Hou Ye left, the old lady thought for a while, and called the treasure scarf who had been guarding the door just now to come in.

"Baojin, this room is full of people, I trust you the most, do you know why?" The old lady leaned against a large silver-red spring ink woven gold brocade pillow, and slowly asked Baojin standing in front of the big kang by the window.

Baojin's heart skipped a beat, as if this was not the beginning of any good words.

She lowered her head and said respectfully: "Baojin only knows how to serve the old lady wholeheartedly, and dare not guess what the old lady is thinking. The old lady forgives her sins, but Baojin doesn't know..."

Hearing this, the old lady couldn't help but twitched the corners of her lips, showing a pleasant smile: "You have been in my house for four years, and you have never said a word out of your mouth. I have always known that you are the best at keeping words , so I never avoid you when I say anything!"

Baojin's heart became hot, and she whispered: "This is the duty of Baojin!"

The old lady nodded: "You know your duty very well. You must keep it in mind in the future, don't forget your duty. No matter what you hear today, don't say a word!"

Baojin hurriedly knelt down: "Baojin will never say a word!"

The old lady never specifically told the servants in the house not to gossip, and when someone came to inquire about the news, the old lady would turn a blind eye.

This is the first time she personally told her to keep it secret, even if she gave Baojin ten guts, she would not dare to talk nonsense, not to mention that she herself is a taciturn and cautious person!

"Get up!" The old lady smiled, "Go to Miss Jiu's yard and call Ju Hong! If Miss Jiu asks, just say that I want to tell Ju Hong to serve the princess carefully."

Baojin got up and went to Shicui Pavilion.

After about two cups of tea, Baojin came back.

The one who came with her was not Dong Yuan's maid, Ju Hong, but Dong Yuan himself.

When Dong Yuan saw the old lady, he knelt down with a plop, his voice choked with sobs: "Grandmother, did I cause a big disaster?"
