"I haven't been here for many years. I didn't expect that when I built the Duke's Mansion, I actually changed the east corner gate into a main entrance. Tsk, tsk, tsk..."
The voice was high-pitched, and the tone sounded both emotional and sarcastic.
Jia Rong and others did not dare to answer.
The eunuchs who left the palace were all messengers of the emperor. What's more, the eunuch in front of him who could bring so many guards with him was obviously of extraordinary status. Before he knew the identity and purpose of the other party, he spoke rashly in case he offended him.
If so, wouldn’t it bring disaster to the family?
The great eunuch finally lowered his head, glanced at the people in front of him, and asked, "Which one of you is Jia Lian?"
Jia Rong hurriedly bent down and said: "Reporting to the superior, my uncle is accompanying the guests inside. He has already sent someone to invite him, and he will be out soon...
I don’t know what you’re doing if you’re here on a mission?”
The eldest eunuch looked to be in his fifties or sixties, and looked a bit old. He put on an unattractive smile and said: "I came to you, of course, to pay homage to the souls of the dead. What else can I do besides that?
"
Jia Rong breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a more humble smile: "Well, please come in..."
"Not busy, not busy."
The eldest eunuch shook his head, ignored the embarrassed Jia Rong and others, and stood at the door.
After a while, Jia Lian came out and saw this strange old eunuch. He was puzzled in his heart but did not show it on his face. He stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "Jia Lian, do you dare to ask for my father-in-law's name?"
The chief eunuch had already looked at Jia Lian when he appeared.
I saw that he was just as rumored, with a tall figure and a handsome face. Even at this moment, he was dressed in white mourning clothes and had a mourning scarf on his head, and he still looked majestic and windy while walking, which made him feel ashamed.
The old eunuch couldn't help but flash a flash of jealousy.
However, he quickly smiled and said: "It turns out to be Commander Jia, disrespectful and disrespectful. I am the deacon and eunuch of Chonghua Palace, and my surname is Wang."
When he heard the words "Chonghua Palace", even Jia Lian couldn't help but be secretly shocked, let alone Jia Rong and others behind him.
This Chonghua Palace was the resting place where the Supreme Emperor lived after his abdication.
Before the Supreme Emperor abdicated, he spent a lot of money to carve out a rectangular piece of land on the east side of the Forbidden Palace, and then built a small "Forbidden City" by imitating the layout of the previous Forbidden City.
This Chonghua Palace is the main apse on the central axis of the city within the city, which is analogous to the existence of the Daming Palace in the imperial palace.
In other words, the Chonghua Palace only represents one person outside, and that is the Supreme Emperor.
Therefore, knowing that this eunuch was from Chonghua Palace, Jia Lian had to be cautious, and once again raised his hands and said: "It turns out that the prince is here. I didn't go far to greet him. I'm disrespectful. I dare to ask my father-in-law, what's the reason for coming here?"
Advice?"
The great eunuch Wang Fu felt very proud when he saw Jia Lian's sudden humility.
This is the capital he dares to be arrogant. As one of the trusted eunuchs who run errands for the Supreme Emperor, no matter where he goes, no matter the prince or the officials, he must be polite to him, because behind him is the Supreme Emperor!
"I'm not talking about advice. I just heard that your master passed away, so I came here to express my condolences and express my admiration."
Wang Fu said with a smile, as if he didn't want to say more on this point, and then he stopped pretending to be a big-tailed wolf, straightened his posture, and added: "Master Jia, please lead the way."
When Jia Lian saw this, he didn't hesitate to ask more questions, and immediately turned sideways to invite him in.
Jia Rong waited for the old eunuch to come forward, then quietly pulled Jia Lian's sleeve, "Second uncle, he..."
Jia Rong pointed at the old eunuch's swaggering back, indicating something.
Jia Lian understood what he meant. Allowing a eunuch to come in to worship ancestors would appear to be inappropriate, unless the eunuch was acting under the orders of the emperor or empress.
But how many people in the world can the emperor send people to worship in person?
Therefore, although there are many eunuchs in the capital, and even many great eunuchs are in the imperial city and have private residences in the capital, they generally do not socialize.
Not to mention attending weddings and weddings, because their limbs are mutilated, and it is easy to be disgusted at such serious events.
Therefore, those officials who pride themselves on being clean will never allow a eunuch to come in to worship their elders.
Jia Rong was also worried about this, feeling that it would be bad for the family's reputation if word spread.
Jia Lian shook his head.
Originally, he didn't think of Jia She as anything, so naturally he wouldn't care about it. The visitor was a guest, no matter whether he was a eunuch or a nun.
Secondly, Jia Lian really didn't believe that a great eunuch beside the Supreme Emperor dared to go to a prince's palace to show off his majesty without any instructions from the nobles.
Maybe there is a reason why I don’t want to say it. Let’s look at the follow-up.
…
Forbidden City, Daming Palace.
Emperor Ningkang immediately received the news that the chief eunuch of Chonghua Palace had gone to Jia Mansion.
"Your Majesty, my subordinates and others have found out that Wang Fu went to Jia's Mansion just to express his condolences. He did not do anything else, nor did he declare any of the Emperor's will."
A deputy commander of the Jin Yiwei kneeled down on His Highness and reported the report with great certainty.
Emperor Ning Kang became a little confused.
As his father, the Supreme Emperor occupied too many irreplaceable things in his life.
Even now, the Supreme Emperor is still the person he, the supreme king in the world, fears the most.
Therefore, he could not afford to ignore any news from Chonghua Palace.
After waving the Jin Yiwei men to retreat, Emperor Ning Kang asked Dai Quan: "What do you think the Emperor's move means? Could it be that he thought of Jia Daishan, so he sent someone to pay homage to his son?"
Emperor Ningkang was naturally no less knowledgeable than Jia Rong and others. From the reports of his subordinates, he knew that when the chief eunuch of Chonghua Palace went to Jia's house to worship, he must have followed the wishes of Chonghua Palace, which was also the wish of the Supreme Emperor.
Dai Quan didn't have any special opinions on this matter. It was just a small matter in itself. When the Supreme Emperor was in power, he often sent people to express condolences to his close ministers.
Although Jia She was a terrible person, he was the inheritor of the Duke's mansion after all. Whether it was for the sake of Duke Ning Rong or for the sake of Jia Daishan, it was understandable for the Emperor to let an eunuch worship him.
.
Dai Quan felt that Emperor Ning Kang was a bit too sensitive.
Of course, as a confidant who accompanied Emperor Ningkang day and night, he would not question Emperor Ningkang's thoughts, but just nodded in agreement: "I think the emperor's conjecture is correct.
The old slave heard that when Mr. Dai Shan was young, he once served as the companion of the Supreme Emperor. They had an irreversible relationship and had been friends with the Supreme Emperor for most of their lives.
Although Dai Shangong has been gone for more than ten years now, the Supreme Emperor is a nostalgic person. Even if he accidentally thinks of his descendants, it is ordinary.
The old slave also heard that since last year, the Chonghua Palace has often summoned some old ministers who have entered the palace to receive banquets. The Supreme Emperor also treats them very kindly, allowing them to gather in the Chonghua Palace and often stay for a whole day.
.
From this point of view, it is not surprising that the Supreme Emperor did this today."
Emperor Ningkang nodded after listening to Dai Quan's words.
It is natural for people to miss old times when they get old. It is precisely because of this that he has found it very difficult to get rid of old ministers from the previous dynasty in recent years, especially those important ministers in sensitive positions. Every time he moves one, he has to be careful.
For fear of touching the sensitive nerves of the Supreme Emperor.
For example, the Jingying Jiedushi...
The exchange conditions given to the Jia family should be implemented. In a few days, her mother-in-law will hold a small flower viewing party. At that time, he will "accidentally" see Jia Yuanchun, the eldest daughter of the Jia family. Then his mother-in-law will
It was given to him, and he rewarded her naturally.
Naturally, the Jia family became relatives of the emperor and became one family with him.
It was so reasonable that it would not make this matter look like a transaction and undermine the majesty of his emperor.
