His Majesty the Emperor read this article written by Shen Yi several times before silently putting it aside.
Then he didn't do anything anymore, just like before, he went to court when it was time, went to work when it was time to go to work, and met with ministers when he needed to.
Nothing seemed to happen.
On the third day, the great eunuch Gao Ming knelt respectfully in front of the little emperor, bowing his head deeply.
"His Majesty…"
The emperor sat on the soft couch, put down the ink pen in his hand, and said calmly: "Have you found out the results?"
"yes…"
The little emperor put the ink pen on the pen holder, cast his gaze on Gao Ming, and said silently: "Say it."
"Back to Your Majesty, when the Di Bao Department was first established, the servants selected a total of twenty-seven people in the palace. Later, the Di Bao Department became better and better. The Di Bao Department sent more people twice, and now there are seventy-five people.
Except for the four officials from the Ministry of Etiquette, everyone else is from our palace. In the past two days, I have conducted a detailed investigation of the Di Reporting Department and found..."
"Among the initial group of twenty-seven people, at least five people leaked information about the Di Reporting Department to the outside world. As for the subsequent additions of the Di Reporting Department's manpower..."
"There will be more people eating inside and outside."
The little emperor raised his eyebrows, looked at Gao Ming, and said coldly: "Look at your Eunuch Gao's vision, he is really smart!"
In fact, Gao Ming cannot be blamed for this incident.
These palace people in the palace are already riddled with infiltration. It is common for these palace people to leak some information about the emperor or gossip about the harem to the outside world, and then earn some "extra money". This is a common thing.
, not surprising.
Moreover, although Gao Ming is the chief eunuch, his qualifications in the eunuchs are not enough. It is already very remarkable that he can barely hold the position of the chief eunuch in six years. It is expected that he can fully control all the people in the palace, or
It's a little too difficult for him to say that he knows everything about everyone.
But in front of the emperor, there is no reason to argue.
Gao Ming lowered his head deeply and grabbed the ground with his head.
"This slave has neglected his duty, and this slave shall be punished by death..."
He was very cruel to himself and kowtowed, and soon his forehead was covered in blue.
And with these eunuchs kowtowing down their heads, the fate of those "evil and spoiled" palace officials in the Di's Reporting Department was already doomed.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
Since these people made Gao Ming suffer in front of the emperor, naturally Eunuch Gao would not be merciful to them.
None of them could escape from the palace, and perhaps even the idea of death was a delusion.
Seeing Gao Ming's appearance, the little emperor also felt some compassion.
After all, this is the companion who brought him up since childhood.
The emperor waved his hand and said in a low voice: "That's all, who asked you to kowtow?"
Only then did Gao Ming stop kowtowing. At this moment, his forehead was already covered in bruises, and blood seemed to be dripping from it.
The emperor couldn't bear it and threw a square towel from the table in front of Gao Ming, frowning and said: "Wipe it.
"
At this time, both the master and the servant in Deqing Palace knew in their hearts that neither of them could live without the other.
Or that's how it was in a short period of time.
The emperor now spends most of his energy on the court and has little energy to clean up the affairs in the palace. He needs a loyal and trustworthy person to take charge of the palace confinement for him, and even take charge of the internal guard and the newly established Diji Reporting Department on his behalf.
But now in the palace, apart from Gao Ming, there is no other choice.
As for Gao Ming, this is even more true.
For him, the little emperor is the sky above him, and it is the only sky.
Neither of the two people can live without the other now. At least during the few years when the young emperor took charge, he could not live without Gao Ming.
Of course, after a few years, when the little emperor has the ability to control the court and manage his own power, the high eunuch will actually be dispensable. At that time, the two parties will no longer need each other, but will become a wise unilateral
We need a little emperor.
But these are all things for later. At present, the master and servant are still "sincerely in love".
The little emperor sat in his seat, lowered his eyebrows and thought for a while, and then said: "You can stop doing the Di News Department's work for a while. I will give you ten days to clean up the Di News Department. As for these palace people who are cheating on others,
…”
The emperor glanced at Gao Ming's bleeding forehead, then turned his eyes to one side and said indifferently: "I'll leave it all to you. After all, you have been a eunuch for six years. If the people in the palace are not sensible,
, you have to teach them to be sensible."
In the first six years, the young emperor did not personally govern. Therefore, although Gao Ming sat in the position of the eunuch, he could not do whatever he wanted in the palace. Especially some eunuchs had connections with the Queen Mother behind them. If they were favored by the Queen Mother, they would be more likely to do so.
Incredible.
But now that the emperor has said this, Gao Ming has obtained Shang Fang's sword and can do whatever he wants in the palace.
He kowtowed again and said: "I obey the order..."
The little emperor looked at Gao Ming again and asked, "Have the people who went to Jiangdu to meet Shen Yi been sent out?"
Gao Ming lowered his head: "We set out two days ago."
"Um."
The emperor lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "Since there is indeed a mole in the Di newspaper department, it means that the news reported by Shen Yi is very accurate. I also read the Di newspaper he wrote, and it is..."
“Very good.”
The little emperor said lazily: "This man is a talented person who can be used. You can send someone to send a message to Jiangdu to tell Shen Yi who the examiner will be next spring."
The person in charge of the Spring Examination is usually the Minister of Rites or a bachelor, because this is the most important exam for the imperial court. In every Spring Examination, the examiner is appointed by the emperor.
At this time, the candidates for Chunwei's examination had not yet been decided, but Zhongshu sent several lists to the emperor for decision.
The meaning of what the little emperor said was very simple. He hoped that Shen Yi would take the Chunwei exam next year and that he would pass the exam.
Gao Ming was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, if you want Shen Yizhong to be a Jinshi, then he... can be a Jinshi..."
The emperor frowned, shook his head and said: "I have said that this is the first Spring Festival since I took office. I want to reserve talents for the new dynasty and select some real talents. Therefore, I do not want to interfere, and I will not interfere.
Shen Yi can pass the exam because of his ability, if he fails..."
The emperor said calmly: "If you fail to pass the Jinshi examination, you can still stay in Jiankang and work. If you fail in this subject, you can still pass the next subject."
By raising people, you are already qualified to be an official.uuReading www.uukanshu.com
I heard that the emperor meant that even if Shen Yi's spring palace failed next year, he would still arrange errands for Shen Yi to do.
Once it is done, the emperor can directly reward him with an official position.
What's this?
This is the Holy Scroll!
Ignoring the pain on his forehead, Gao Ming looked up at the little emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the people sent by this slave should have arrived in Jiangdu by now. I thought that when I asked Shen Yi how he knew about the situation in the Di Reporting Department
After that, it will not be too late for Your Majesty to make a decision."
The little emperor yawned.
"Then I will do as you say. You should pay more attention to the affairs of Di Di News Department. In half a month, I will see a brand new and clean Di Di News Department."
Eunuch Gao wiped away a drop of blood that dripped from his forehead to his face, and lowered his head: "I understand that if I can't handle my errand this time, I will never have the face to see Your Majesty again..."
…
Just when the master and servant of Jiankang Deqing Hall were thinking about how to report to the palace, a young man with a serious face came to the door of Mr. Shen's house in Jiangdu City.
Qing'er could tell at a glance that this young man was also a eunuch.
With a smile on his face, Shen Yi welcomed the young man into his home.
