"Eunuch Mao, please listen to my explanation. No... it's not like this!"
Zeng Shan was so anxious that his face turned red. Xiao Yan was the leader of their group. He was given this wronged for no reason and was extremely convenient for his future power. He hurriedly said: "Eunuch Mao, please listen to my explanation. Prime Minister Xiao has something to do, but it is really inconvenient..."
"The family really doesn't know what happened, it's more important than visiting the Empress Dowager's condition! Prime Minister Xiao is so arrogant that he has no royal family!"
Sanmao snorted coldly and said angrily: "Okay! Since Prime Minister Xiao has not come, then Secretary Zeng and Secretary Zhao are waiting at the door, waiting for Prime Minister Xiao to finish his business, and then come to visit the empress dowager together. Or Prime Minister Xiao is disdainful at all, Secretary Zeng and Secretary Zhao, then please go back home."
call!
The emperor didn't even give Xiao Yan some face.
The officials thought in their minds that Sanmao had absolutely no courage to attack Xiao Yan on purpose, and even though Eunuch Hu was the confidant of the empress dowager, when he reported to the emperor, he would sort out the important officials who did not come to visit. Did Xiao Yan come to visit? The little emperor knew it.
Eunuch Mao’s behavior today is just a fox and a tiger’s power, replacing the little emperor with anger.
Zeng Shan, Zhao Shuo was so angry that he stomped his feet, but the reason was obvious. Even if he was full of resentment, he could not vent it. He also knew that if he did not visit the Empress Dowager today, this matter would most likely become the handle for Kang Shanzhen and Bai Mochou to join forces to attack Xiao Yan.
Zeng Shan did not dare to delay, so he quickly sent guards to invite Xiao Tuzi out of the mountain!
At this point, among the hundreds of court officials, including King Fu and Princess, there were only ten people who could enter the palace, which made the hundred officials feel relieved.
They are afraid that people with the same status and power as theirs will enter the palace, but if they don’t go in, it will be detrimental to them. Now ten people are selected to enter the palace, and most of them are blocked outside the door, so they will be free from being laughed at. Anyway, everyone stops outside the palace gate together, who can laugh at whom?
Moreover, what surprised and excited them was that Zeng Shan and Zhao Shuo, the two left and right hands of Xiao Yan, did not enter the palace either. Hehe... With these two depressed guys staying at the gate of the palace to be rejected, what else is there to be dissatisfied?
After listening to Sanmao finish reading the list, Yan Tong secretly glanced at Shi Yue, with hesitation in his eyes, as if asking again: Why don’t you have your name?
Bai Mo frowned and kept coughing gently, and his smart eyes glanced at Sanmao, Shi Yue looked back and forth.
Shi Yue was also depressed and sweated coldly. He looked at Sanmao with a smirk on his lips, but he hated him so much that he wanted to kick Sanmao's butt into eighth half.
The court officials cut off the idea of entering the palace, relaxed physically and mentally, and bowed to leave.
But Sanmao waved his hand and said, "The list is not finished yet, why are you in a hurry to leave?"
Ah? Not finished yet?
The officials stopped and looked at each other - even Zeng Shan and Zhao Shuo were turned away, and I really don't know who was leaping on the dragon gate.
"The black-clothed guard Qianhu Shi Yue made many extraordinary achievements, destroyed the Beicheng Gang, and relieved the suffering of the people; in the Taohuawu fire, he led his troops to save the ministers and the danger; King Fu was assassinated in the Jingjing, Shi Qianhu was calm in the face of danger, bravely retreated the assassin, and even more so, saving the eldest princess at the bottom of the cliff. How could the emperor take such a great hero, the queen mother, and how could the emperor take a look at him?"
Sanmao smiled at Shi Yue's face, looking at Shi Yue's black-turn white face, and said aloud: "Shi Qianhu, the emperor, the empress dowager specially invited Shi Qianhu to the palace!"
Wow!
The ministers stared at each other, both envious, jealous, and puzzled!
Shi Yue is just a military officer who has just been promoted to the fourth rank of 1,000 households, and the military officer has always been half a level shorter than the civil servants of the same level. But this martial man with very little qualifications actually got the emperor. The empress dowager specially asked to summon him? It's unreasonable. You must know that among the ten people who entered the palace, they were either summoned by the empress dowager or summoned by the emperor. However, Shi Yue was the empress dowager and the emperor summoned him at the same time. How many people can have this honor?
Shi Yue also put his resentment to Sanmao aside and bowed to Sanmao, "I thank the Empress Dowager, the emperor is favored." He could probably understand why the Empress Dowager would summon him at the same time!
The reason why the little emperor blatantly summoned himself without avoiding suspicion is that he had made contributions and summoned him was taken for granted. Moreover, the little emperor also wanted to make his friendly relations with him gradually float from the dark, and summoning him into the palace was just the first step to test.
The Empress Dowager summoned her because she was Kang Shanzhen's confidant and bet on this opportunity to consolidate Kang Shanzhen's power. A hero and three gangs are gone, and you can't play with your ability. This old guy is still very considerate of her old lover.
Yan Tong also looked at Shi Yue, blinking with a pair of bright eyes, blinking with red lips, smiling slightly. Obviously, she didn't expect Shi Yue to be so glorious, and secretly speculated: Who is Shi Yue? How could he let the opposing emperor and the empress dowager show goodwill to him at the same time?
Zeng Shan couldn't control the resentment in his heart, his face turned pale, and he snorted: "Eunuch Mao, I'm so puzzled! Among these officials, there are four first-rank officials, eight first-rank officials, twelve second-rank officials, fourteen second-rank officials, thirty-six third-rank officials, and thirty-six fourth-rank officials, but only Shi Qianhu, why are so many high-rank officials not allowed to enter the palace? Shi Qianhu has a low status, shallow qualifications, and young age, but he is fortunate to enter the palace to see Tianyan? I... I really don't understand."
Although the ministers did not have the courage to question Zeng Shan openly, they were happy to see the excitement.
"Mr. Zeng, are you unconvinced?"
Sanmao walked off the platform, his smart eyes fixed on Zeng Shan's face, and he sneered: "Emperor, the Queen Mother said that since ancient times, heroes have become young people, so we should promote more young people and work for the court. However, regardless of qualifications and age, it depends on the credit. Otherwise, shouldn't I, a little Russian, serve tea and water to Eunuch Hu?"
Eunuch Hu let out a cold sweat, nodded and said anxiously: "Old slave... I don't dare. I know how capable I have. I am willing to obey the arrangements of the emperor and the empress dowager!"
"you……"
Zeng Shan's face became more and more pale, thinking that you, a little Russian, are you a nonsense hero? You know that if you are a fool, causing trouble, is it considered a meritorious service?
If I were the Emperor, I would have killed you, a little macaque.
The eldest princess was interesting to hear, smiled sweetly, raised her red lips, and said softly: "Although my father-in-law is young, every word is beautiful and has a wonderful experience! I think it makes sense."
"According to our view, doing things for the court is not only regardless of age, but also between male and female. Those who have meritorious should be rewarded, and those who have corpses should be punished! How can they be so pedantic as to the point of seniority?"
Bai Mochou, Kang Shanzhen said in unison: "Princess is wise!"
Looking at Zeng Shan with a squinting eyes, he found that his face was getting ugly and ugly. He was as red as a monkey butt, with ferocious eyebrows and eyes, and he seemed to be unbearable for sarcasm!
The two looked at each other and smiled, and the tacit understanding of the early years was faintly hidden in their eyes!
