Xiao Chen really didn't break his promise. He really made Chen Jisheng his housekeeper. He spent a sum of money to buy a medium-sized house in Fengyang City. He rarely came to live there, so he let Chen Jisheng live there.
By the way, we are responsible for management here.
It is not uncommon for eunuchs to buy houses outside. It is a common occurrence. By the way, which eunuch, the leader of the twenty-four eunuchs, does not own one or two properties outside?
Gong Shouli, in particular, grabbed and occupied more than a dozen properties in the best areas of Fengyang City.
Most of them are rented out, and the rest have many beautiful wives and concubines. It is really a crime for a eunuch to marry so many beautiful women!
Xiao Chen originally thought that the emperor would soon give him an order to go to Luomapo, but he didn't expect that since he mentioned it that day, there had been no movement. He didn't want to ask, so he felt hesitant in his heart.
I wandered out to chat with Chen Jisheng that day and asked him what the emperor meant by this?
After these days of recuperation, Chen Jisheng has become much better. He has gradually recovered from the pain of losing his wife, and his spirit has improved greatly. His face is rosy, and he has obviously gained a lot of weight.
It's just that he can't sit idle at all. Although he has good food and clothing every day, and his quality of life is more than a hundred times better than when he was the censor of Zuodu, he still feels very depressed.
What is the difference between wasting time doing nothing this day and eating and waiting to die?
Sometimes I suddenly have a whim, if Li Wanjiang is willing to re-enable him, even if he is asked to be a magistrate, no, a county magistrate, he will be ecstatic even if he is just a county magistrate or even a magistrate!
It's a pity that he is a prisoner now and can't even be a postmaster!
It’s so sad to think that my old man is so talented and knowledgeable in governing the country, but he is so full of ambition that he can’t put it into practice!
Isn’t it hard work?
So when he saw Xiao Chen coming over, he didn't have a good expression.
"What's going on, old man?" Seeing Chen Jisheng's face looking like a lawsuit, Xiao Chen expressed his relief. It seemed that the old man was in good spirits and everything was business as usual.
"Oh... I'm so bored!" Chen Jisheng sighed, "I heard that you and that Zhang Baiwan set up some kind of factory? Otherwise, why don't you just let me go over and do something? It's boring to be an accounting clerk there.
I’ll give you a little eunuch to be the housekeeper here!”
By the way, what has our old Mr. Chen Jisheng been forced to do?
"Are you kidding? I dare to let you go. How dare Zhang Baiwan want you? How big is his place to accommodate a great god like you, old man!" Xiao Chen couldn't help but laugh.
"Then what do you think I should do? Is it possible that Cheng Cheng will die of old age here!" Chen Jisheng lost his temper.
"There's something I haven't told you all this time, mainly because it's undecided... The emperor seems to be interested in sending me to Zhenxi Gong as a supervisor..." Xiao Chen said.
"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Chen Jisheng raised his eyebrows.
"Don't be too excited. Even if I go, I won't take you with me. It's a thousand miles away and the journey is difficult. Besides, it's bitterly cold in the frontier. Why are you bothering at such an old age?"
Xiao Chen had already made a calculation in his mind. If he was really sent to Luo Mapo, he would find another suitable place to place Chen Jisheng.
Because he may never come back, and various unpredictable changes may occur, including rebellion and defection, it is not appropriate to take Chen Jisheng with him.
Chen Jisheng cares about his reputation very much and will probably not follow him to rebel against the Zhou Dynasty, so Xiao Chen has not told Chen Jisheng his true identity yet.
It's not that I'm afraid of scaring him, but that I'm afraid of embarrassing the old man.
"Well, the emperor clearly said that he would send you to Luomapo?" Chen Jisheng asked.
"That's not true, but I think that's what he means. It's not suitable for me to go anywhere else. Besides, I've talked with Danqiu... the queen, and she also thinks that's the most suitable place for me to go. Haha, you old man
I also know that the emperor doesn't seem to want me to stay in the palace anymore." Xiao Chen said.
"Xiao Chen, you think things are too simple, and the emperor thinks too simply. You are now the most capable eunuch in the palace. According to common sense, he should reuse you and will never send you out to serve. If you send
Yes, that means I want... you to die!" Chen Jisheng said solemnly.
"What the hell, can't you?" Xiao Chen was surprised when he heard this.
"Since ancient times, the most taboo thing for emperors is to have great achievements that shock the emperor. Your contribution is too great. The emperor can't ban you, so he can only kill you. Last time you told me that he gave you a gift to commit suicide, it was a sign."
Chen Jisheng sighed.
"Damn it, young master, I have done so much for him, but he wants to kill me. It's really too much!" Xiao Chen expressed his anger.
"Haha, who do you think you are? He even killed his own son." Chen Jisheng sneered.
"Ah? How do you know that he was responsible for the prince's assassination?" Xiao Chenke never told Chen Jisheng the truth about the matter. How did the old man know?
"Who else could be there besides him? After what happened last time, our Fengyang City has been cleaned inside and outside. Where will there be any Tianxuanhui forces left? Even if there are a few fish that slipped through the net,
, but he can't do such a big thing! Besides, why would Tianxuan kill such a good-for-nothing prince? Xiao Xinghan is not stupid." Chen Jisheng said.
"Damn it, your old man is really clever! Then I won't hide it from you. I also think that Hao Fei was appointed by the emperor..." Xiao Chen felt that he was very impressed by this old man.
"Actually, things are not that complicated. As long as you understand the truth, everything will be clear to you. The emperor has been dissatisfied with the prince for a long time. Otherwise, if I impeach the prince, can the emperor not kill me? He left me
His fate has actually expressed his thoughts."
"The emperor's favorite is King Fengyang. King Fengyang is indeed a talented man, but he is a commoner, and with the prince pressing down on him, it will be difficult for him to ascend to the throne. If he wants to ascend to the throne, the emperor must kill the prince.
, even if it’s useless!”
"I heard that this time King Fengyang won a great victory in suppressing the rebellion in central Sichuan and was about to return in triumph. The emperor ordered the Ministry of Rites to prepare arrangements for the reception early in the morning. It is said that the ceremony was quite grand, so I think the emperor may want to take advantage of this matter to strike while the iron is hot.
King Fengyang supported him to the throne..."
When Chen Jisheng talked about state affairs, he became very energetic.
"Old man, if, I mean if, Ang, if you were still the censor of Zuodu, would you support King Fengyang to be the crown prince?" Xiao Chen asked.
"No." Chen Jisheng shook his head.
"Why? Didn't you impeach the prince?" Xiao Chen was stunned.
"The Crown Prince is not good enough, and neither is King Fengyang. Although he is a man of great talent and a father's spirit, he can only lead troops to fight and govern the country, so he may not be good at it. In addition, although his influence in the army is great, but in the civil service
But his prestige is not very high, many people think he is just a brave man, plus he is a commoner..."
Xiao Chen had never thought about what Chen Jisheng said.
"The prince is not good enough, nor is King Fengyang. Do you want Li Shi, a disabled person, to be the emperor?" Xiao Chen said.
"Well, among the emperor's three sons, only Jiangdong King Li Shi has the ability to govern the country!" Chen Jisheng said.
"But there seems to be no precedent for a disabled person to become an emperor." Xiao Chen felt that Li Shi was the most unlikely.
It is said that the only outstanding person who used a wheelchair in history was Sun Bin. No matter how awesome Sun Bin was, he could not be the emperor.
