"Even if you want to come out, you should be supported by the people waiting for you. What if you fall and knock yourself?" As he said, Zhang Quan glanced behind him and frowned: "By the way, why are you missing?
There are a few of them, but they are lazy?"
Qian Moduo coughed a few times and waved his hands and said: "No, our family asked them not to follow. They want to walk alone for a while." After a pause, he said with some emotion: "Our family...can't see the scenery of the Forbidden City for long.
Here you go!”
Zhang Quan said with a smile: "How could such a thing happen? Manager, you are just unwell occasionally. Just take care of yourself for a while and you will be fine. Then..." Before he could finish speaking, Qian Moduo waved his hand and said: "Our own
I know the matter clearly in my heart, I am an old man, it is time to retire."
Zhang Quan was eager for him to retreat, but he said: "General Manager, you are always getting stronger and stronger. I don't know how well you have managed the Ministry of Internal Affairs over the years. Without you, Zhou Quan and I would have to be in a hurry."
Qian Moduo smiled and said: "Okay, don't make our family happy. Being able to serve three generations of kings, our family has nothing to regret in this life. Tomorrow our family will formally resign to the emperor and return home."
"For more than twenty years, I have been following the manager, but I have never been separated for a moment. It's really..." Zhang Quan squeezed out two tears and said sadly: "I can't bear to leave the manager."
Qian Moduo patted him on the shoulder and said: "Everything in the world is about to end, and there will always be a time when we are separated. It is rare for you and me to have the fate of more than 20 years. How many people can't even have the fate of two years?"
No, so there’s no point in feeling sad.”
Zhang Quan nodded and cautiously said tentatively: "The general manager has always treated me very well. Now that you are gone, it would be better if I get a better general manager. Otherwise... I don't know what the Internal Affairs Office will become.
"
Although Zhang Quan could not tell the traces, Qian Moduo had been in the palace for so many years and had seen all the strife in the harem and all kinds of things in the world. How could he not notice the little Jiujiu in his heart? He sighed and said: "Honestly, you and I
You have been with our family for so many years, and you work hard, so our family can say that we treat you as our own son or nephew, but... you should understand that there are some things that our family cannot have the final say on."
Zhang Quan's heart sank, his face turned pale and he said, "Your Majesty... but you have already made a decision?"
"Not that, but Zhouquan... He was promoted by the Empress, and the Empress is deeply favored. One sentence from her is better than hundreds of words from us." Zhang Quan pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.
, he added: "Don't worry, our family will try our best to recommend you to the emperor tomorrow. There should still be opportunities."
Zhang Quan gritted his teeth and said: "Zhou Quan has only been here for ten years, and his time as deputy general manager has been even shorter. If he becomes the general manager, it will be difficult for everyone in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to convince him."
"We understand, but now it seems that his chances are indeed greater than yours. You have to be prepared." Faced with Qian Moduo's words, Zhang Quan did not speak anymore, but endured the pain that welled up in his throat.
Sourness.
That night, Zhang Quan couldn't sleep. As soon as he closed his eyes, he would see Zhou Quan wearing the uniform of a fifth-grade general manager that he had dreamed of, showing off his power in front of him.
If he could catch Zhou Quan's mistakes, he could sue him severely in front of the emperor and disqualify him from being promoted to general manager; but that damn Zhou Quan was extremely careful in his actions and had hardly made any mistakes over the years.
While Zhang Quan was trying hard to find Zhou Quan's fault, Zhou Quan in the other room also stayed up all night. However, Zhou Quan was not thinking about the position of general manager, but about Wei Jingxuan of Yongshou Palace. The Queen was already a little impatient.
Wei Jingxuan must be dealt with as soon as possible; however, during this period, he has used all the methods he can think of, what else is there to do?
Zhou Quan thought hard until dawn, and finally he came up with a strategy again. In fact, he had used this strategy before, but it was too hasty at the time, so it failed to work, and then it was abandoned halfway. This time, for the sake of safety, when
Think carefully and make sure there are no mistakes before taking action.
While he was thinking carefully, his confidant eunuch Xiao Chengzi came in carrying water and said: "General manager, it's time for you to get up."
Zhou Quan nodded, rolled up his sleeves and walked over and said, "Why are you here so early today? Don't you always get enough sleep?"
Xiao Chengzi chuckled, then he didn't know what he thought of, and said with a serious face: "General manager, after you wash up, go to the manager Qian quickly. I heard last night that he will formally go to Yangxin Hall to resign to the emperor today.
Yes, Manager Zhang passed away early in the morning. He has always been at odds with you and will definitely try his best to swindle you in front of Manager Qian, so you must not be too late."
"So you got up early on purpose to call me?" After Xiao Chengzi nodded solemnly, Zhou Quan smiled and said: "Okay, it's mine, no one else can take it away no matter how hard you try; if it's not mine, no matter how hard you try,
No matter how hard I try, I can't grab it."
Xiao Chengzi saw that he was not in a hurry at all and said quickly: "That being said, you can't fall behind Mr. Zhang. If he takes the position, he will definitely make you angry. Wait until then.
It will be difficult to drive him down, manager, you must be careful about this."
Seeing that he was devoted to himself, Zhou Quan was quite moved and said: "As long as the queen is there, he can't take the position of general manager just because he wants to. You just need to feel at ease."
Hearing this, Xiao Chengzi's face flashed with joy, and he said: "The Queen has already made a promise to you, the manager? If this is the case, then there is really no need to worry. No matter how much Manager Zhang jumps up and down, he will do it."
It is no match for a word from the Queen."
Zhou Quan smiled, washed up and changed his clothes, then took Xiao Chengzi out and walked all the way to Fengxian Hall. He put his hands behind his hands and looked up at the dazzling glazed tiles flashing in the morning sun.
"Manager, what are you looking at?" Xiao Chengzi looked along his gaze. Apart from the golden glazed tiles and the colorful paintings with gold threads and large gold spirals under the eaves, he really couldn't find anything good-looking.
From time to time, the crows of crows sounded in my ears. Although the palace regarded these crows as sacred crows and no one was allowed to disrespect them, Xiao Chengzi felt that the crows were really unpleasant every time he heard them, and he wished he could cover his ears.
Zhou Quan raised his lips and said, "Look, there are more crows here this year than in previous years."
Xiao Chengzi said disapprovingly: "The crows are never chased away in this palace, and there are people who come to feed them twice a day. Naturally, there are more and more crows. It's not bad here. The most people are the cold palace. One time, a servant passed by the cold palace.
It was so scary to see a large flock of crows flying up, covering the sky."
