Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 328

"Why, Mr. Xu doesn't have this at home?" The woman said with a smile: "Come here, go and get a few dozen catties and give it to Mr. Xu."

"Here, Empress Dowager."

Xu Qing took a deep breath, and there was the noble concubine in front of her, so she bowed again: "The noble concubine is here, please accept my respect." At this time, Xu Qing suddenly remembered that Li Yuan's queen had been married before the founding of the Tang Dynasty. Dead, only a concubine before proclaiming emperor, that concubine won Li Yuan's trust and was named a noble concubine, so it must be the person in front of me, Concubine Wan Gui.Concubine Wan Gui gave birth to the King of Chu, and was killed by the Sui Dynasty. She had no more descendants, but it was also because of this that she was able to take charge of the harem, and the prince and others respected her very much, and was later given to the Queen of Chu.

Concubine Wan Gui smiled, shook her head and said: "Master Xu, please, you are someone the emperor often talks about, and I dare not accept your prostrations again and again."

He said again: "Okay, my palace is getting a bit cold. Zhao Gong, take Mr. Xu around the palace. From now on, you will work in front of Mr. Xu's saddle, and you don't have to serve me."

The eunuch named Zhao Gong immediately knelt down to thank him, thunder, rain and dew were all kindness.Concubine Wan Gui said to the person beside her, "Reward him." After speaking, she left.Then a court lady gave Zhao Gong a bag of money, and a eunuch brought a bag of sponges.

Seeing Concubine Wan Gui leave, Xu Qing couldn't help laughing, patted the bag of sponges, and was about to pick it up.Zhao Gong rushed over, knelt down and wailed, "Master! I beg you to be left behind!"

Xu Qing was surprised: "Why, you come along, it's okay, I really need someone." After Xu Qing finished speaking, Zhao Gong didn't see him get up, and after asking, he found out that Zhao Gong saw Xu Qing carrying the bag by himself, so he thought it was Xu Qing. Qing didn't want him.Xu Qing explained that it was not heavy, but Zhao Gong still took it.Looking at Zhao Gong, when he was less than 20 years old, Xu Qing asked:
"Zhao Gong, at what age did you enter the palace?"

"Master, I don't know at what age I entered the palace." Zhao Gong said with a chuckle, "I have been in this palace since I can remember. I heard from the old eunuch that I was thrown in front of the palace gate by others. another eunuch met

Poor, they led me in.After the fall of the Sui Dynasty, some old eunuchs were kicked out, and those of us who were young stayed behind. "

After finishing speaking, Zhao Gong still smiled, but there was clearly humility and fear in that smile.

Xu Qing couldn't help sighing, he was cut off since he was a child, so, uh, it's not bad compared to other eunuchs, right?At least it wouldn't be a pity, Xu Qing opened his mouth, but still didn't tell the joke.

On the contrary, Zhao Gong saw Xu Qing hesitate to speak, and knew what Xu Qing was thinking, so he pulled Xu Qing to a rockery, and said: "Master Xu, I hope you keep one thing secret." Fuck, take off the cotton trousers, and a little bird shakes out.

Xu Qing was startled first, because you dragged me to the corner to let me watch the birds, what's your intention?Then I was surprised again, why is this eunuch a fake?Although each part is a little smaller, it still has a complete shape, so it must have grown out again.

Zhao Gong also suddenly realized that it is not good to keep showing the bird in front of the master, so he quickly put it away and explained: "The villain was crushed when he entered the palace. Later, the emperor didn't live in the palace, so they didn't care so much. I died. Later, when I entered the Tang Dynasty, they didn’t know that I was not clean, and I was selected to serve beside Concubine Wan Gui, so I escaped by chance. Master Xu, the villain’s life is in your hands I hope you will keep it a secret, and I will definitely repay you with a grassroots title!"

Xu Qing sighed at the strength of the vitality, which grows back after being crushed, and asked, "Then why did you choose to tell me? If you don't tell me, nothing will happen?"

Zhao Gong lowered his head and said, "I know that Mr. Xu is a good person. Besides, I can only follow Mr. Xu in the future. If Mr. Xu finds out in the future, wouldn't I be a capital offender? Now that I've said it, I still have a chance. "

Xu Qing shook his head, it's not easy for anyone, and asked: "I can keep it a secret, but what does Wan Guifei want you to follow me, what does it mean? Are you still living in the palace?"

Zhao Gong said: "No, I can't stay anymore, I will live with you in the future."

So Xu Qing said: "Okay, since this is the case, then you will follow me. I will keep it secret for you, and wait for you in a few years, oops, your thing is still long, in a few years, I will give it to you." You marry a wife."

Zhao Gong felt embarrassed after hearing this, and bowed his head in silence. Xu Qing asked him to lift the sponge and took him to Xuanwumen to clock in at work.

In Li Yuan's imperial study, several men in black knelt down in front of Li Yuan last time.Li Yuan held a magnifying glass, looked at the memorial, and said, "What's happened to Xu Qing recently?"

"My Majesty, more than a dozen carriages came to Mr. Xu's house, all of which were charcoal gifts from local officials."

Li Yuan didn't seem to hear it, and the others continued talking.

"Reporting to the emperor, Mr. Xu went to Shangshu Province to discuss matters today, and helped the ministers solve the problem of Ling Xun."

At this time, Li Yuan raised his head and asked: "The method Xu Qing said, isn't it the righteousness of officials and the benefit of the people?"

"The emperor is wise, that's exactly the case."

"Then where did he go after that? In the next few memorials, he was not seen speaking."

"Uh, Your Majesty, afterward Master Xu went to Taiye Pool and met Concubine Wan Gui."

The men in black thought that Li Yuan would scold angrily, but Li Yuan just scolded with a smile: "That brat, why did you go there?"

The man in black said: "I went the wrong way. Concubine Wan Gui rewarded Mr. Xu with a little eunuch and returned a bag of sponges. At this time, he asked the little eunuch to take him to Xuanwu Gate."

Li Yuan waved his hand and let the man in black go down, thinking: What is this sponge used for? Why does he want a bag? Could it be that Concubine Wan Gui bullied Xu Qing for not being rich and not knowing about sponges?Then he shook his head, finished approving a memorial in his hand, and then sealed it with the jade seal.I wanted to read the memorial again, but I couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so I said to the guards outside the door: "Come here, drive the Xuanwu Gate, I'm going to ask him, what is the use of this sponge!"

When Xun Fang arrived at Dunyifang, he saw dozens of large carts parked in front of his house, lined up along the side of the street for dozens of feet.It turned out that just after Xu Qing entered the Taiji Palace, the follow-up motorcade arrived.They also got a letter that Xu Qing's own things were all sent to Shantianzhuang, and those gifts were sent to Dunyifang.

Looking at the long convoy, Xun Fang couldn't help but feel a headache. There are so many things that need to be delivered to the homes of the major officials one by one.Xun Fang went over, took the gift list, counted it, and sent it to the warehouse built by himself.Now that the ministers have not returned home, it is also a white belt to send gifts. Besides, there is an order in the officialdom, and you can't give it to people indiscriminately.
