If Gu Hengbo chooses the first way to enter the palace, Shen Yi can do it for her. After all, Mr. Shen's rank is not low now. Although he does not have many disciples and former officials, he still knows some officials.
Officials from Ganquan Academy would most likely not do this kind of dirty work, but those low-ranking officials in the Ministry of War who had no chance of promotion would rush to do it.
But now, Gu Hengbo wants to be directly selected by the emperor to enter the palace from the home of a senior official, which is beyond Shen Yi's ability.
To be able to be visited by the emperor, it is reasonable to say that he must be a third-rank official at least. If Shen Yi wants to talk to someone of this level, he must go through Zhao Changping or the old prime minister Zhang Jing.
If it were anything else, it would be nothing to ask these two elders for help, but bringing a prostitute into the palace for the emperor was really not a glorious thing, so Shen Yi had no choice but to inform Gao Ming.
Do it.
If Eunuch Gao is not willing, then Master Shen will not continue to work hard and is ready to give up the job.
After roughly explaining the specific situation to Eunuch Gao, Shen Yi sighed and said: "Eunuch Gao, you also know that he has not been in office for a long time, and he doesn't even know a few ministers in the court, let alone talk to them about this kind of thing.
It's a matter of course, Eunuch Gao, you have been in charge of the inner court for many years, you still need to handle 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 to handle."
If you go to the so-called "Qingliu" of Zhao Changping's group to handle this kind of thing, it will definitely be impossible for those people to handle it for the sake of reputation. If you go to the people from Yang Jingzong's side, they will certainly agree, but
It is inevitable that this matter will not be spread secretly.
It won't be a big deal if it spreads. The biggest fear is that it will fall into the ears of the Queen Mother, which will not be easy to handle.
In fact, the most fundamental reason why the palace was hiding it like this was because it was afraid that the Queen Mother would find out. Otherwise, it would only be a matter of a word from the high eunuch to bring a woman into the palace.
Having said this, Gao Ming glanced at Shen Yi and whispered: "I will report this matter to His Majesty as soon as possible and follow His Majesty's decision. If there are no other changes, I will not trouble Shi Shen to read you."
"correct."
Eunuch Gao paused for a moment and said slowly: "Shen Shidu, in two days there will be a great court meeting held every ten days. Now Shen Shidu, you have reached the fifth rank of official rank. 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. When the time comes, Shen Shidu, don't forget to go to court."
Shen Yi was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said: "Eunuch Gao, although he is a fifth-rank official, he has no position in Beijing, so..."
"I still have to go."
Eunuch Gao glanced at Shen Yi with a smile and said softly: "Don't worry, Shen Shidu, those corrupt scholars don't dare to do anything to you. Besides, Shen Shidu, you..."
"The power is not small either."
What Gao Ming said was most likely referring to the forces of Ganquan Academy behind Shen Yi.
In the past 20 to 30 years, Ganquan Academy's "admission rate" has skyrocketed, resulting in a large number of Jinshi. So far, although no one has worshiped the prime minister, and the only real high-level official is Zhao Changping, the advantage is the large number of people. For example, back then
The legendary "Seven Sons of Ganquan", most of the six people currently in office are officials of the fourth or fifth rank, and one of them has already risen to the rank of Minister of Guanglu Temple from the third rank.
It can be said that there are many middle and senior officials.
That's why Gao Ming said that Shen Yi is quite powerful.
Master Shen rubbed his forehead and felt a headache.
It is true that he was born in an academy, but he rose too quickly after becoming an official. Those in the academy may not be jealous of him, and his biggest "accomplishment" since becoming an official was actually leading troops to fight.
Wenchen was out of place.
Although for Zhao Changping's sake, those in the academy would not embarrass him, it is nonsense to say that they would stand by him to the death.
Shen Yi sighed and said nothing more.
Eunuch Gao continued: "Then there is the matter of the Purity Department of the Northern Qi Dynasty."
The great eunuch glanced at Shen Yi and said in a low voice: "The Purity Department had no plans to assassinate you originally. They should have considered you as one of the assassination targets after they received some news from our court."
one."
"But the internal security guards are still slowly tracing the information about who communicated with Qingjing Stone, but..."
Eunuch Gao took a deep breath and said, "There are many sources of information from the Purity Department of the Northern Qi Dynasty. Moreover, with only a few clues, it is difficult for the internal guards to fully investigate."
"It doesn't matter if we can't find out clearly."
Shen Yi smiled and said: "It's not difficult to guess who wants me dead so much in my court."
Eunuch Gao frowned: "Don't make random assumptions."
After saying this, the great eunuch himself couldn't help but squint his eyes.
"If it were them..."
Eunuch Gao spoke slowly.
"They...will be punished."
…………
We had a meal with Eunuch Gao at Cuiyun Tower. When it got dark, Shen Yi went home to rest.
The next day, His Majesty the Emperor seemed to be tired of staying in the palace, so he left the palace incognito.
After wandering the streets for a long time, His Majesty the Emperor happened to pass by the residence of Lu Zheng, the minister of Dali Temple.
This Dali Temple minister was an upright official. Although he was a third-rank official, he could not afford to buy a house in Jiankang and had to rent a house. His Majesty the Emperor was curious and went into the house of Lu Qing.
Made a circle.
This house is extremely small, with only a small courtyard and four or five rooms.
Most of Lu Qingzheng's family members are in their hometown. Only his wife and youngest son are in Jiankang, and there are no servants at home.
After the emperor saw it, he was so moved that he simply stayed and had a meal at Lu's house.
During dinner, His Majesty the Emperor met Lu Qing's granddaughter who had just come to Jiankang from the countryside.
The emperor was astonished, and the dragon's face was overjoyed.
After learning that this girl was unmarried, the emperor immediately ordered the imperial family to come over and offer a ceremony to take Miss Lu into the palace as his concubine.

The people from the Zongfu also arrived at the Lu family soon. Although this matter was against the rules, under the emperor's insistence, the people from the Zongfu still followed the rules and accepted Miss Lu into the palace according to the procedures.
Because Miss Lu's grandfather was a third-rank official in the imperial court, and because of His Majesty's wishes, Miss Lu was hired as a concubine.
Belonging to the highest status among "concubines", second only to concubines.
Although Miss Lu was reluctant to leave her family, she could not disobey the emperor's order. She immediately knelt on the ground, said goodbye to her family, and followed the people of the clan into the palace.
As the chief official of Dali Temple, Lu Qingzheng also had tears on his face and reluctantly sent his granddaughter into the palace. The old couple burst into tears, obviously they were truly moved.
This thing sounds reasonable, but it is actually very strange.
Because from the time His Majesty the Emperor came to visit at noon to when Miss Lu entered the palace in the evening, it only took one day.
The process of marrying a concubine is complete.
It’s almost unbelievable!
And in the evening, Eunuch Gao Ming came to the Lu family quietly.
Lu Qingzheng welcomed Eunuch Gao in with great respect and a respectful demeanor.
After giving some instructions to the Lu family, Eunuch Gao put a pamphlet in Lu Qingzheng's hand and said calmly.
"The records of the internal guards have been sold."
The eunuch glanced at Lu Qingzheng with some contempt in his eyes.
"The matter of Qingzheng accepting bribes will be cleared up, but..."
Eunuch Gao paused for a moment: "But Your Majesty said, let bygones be bygones, but in the future, I hope that you can be as incorruptible as your reputation..."
Lu Qing was kneeling on the ground with gratitude.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Eunuch Gao..."
He lowered his head and said: "I...I will definitely live up to the holy hope in the future..."
Eunuch Gao looked calm, stretched out his hand to help him up, and continued: "Moreover, no matter who asks about today's matter, it will definitely be rotten in the stomach."
"There are only three people in your family..."
Eunuch Gao looked calm: "Isn't it difficult for the three of us to be more strict with our mouths?"
Lu Qingzheng forced a smile on his face.
"Grandpa, don't worry..."
The Qingzheng master said in a low voice: "From today on, Xiaguan will have such a granddaughter. Whoever says that Xiaguan doesn't have one..."
Lu Qingzheng said in a deep voice: "Then I will fight him tooth and nail!"
