The female official seemed not to hear the disrespect for the emperor in the princess's words, and lowered her hands and said: "Then Eunuch Zhao retreated. Soon after he returned, the emperor sent someone to comfort him, rewarded him with medicine, and passed on oral instructions to let Eunuch Zhao rest more.
."
Princess Xinping heard this and shook her head, thinking: "Is my father really old?"
"How could you do such a thing if you weren't confused?"
The attitude of a loyal servant like Eunuch Zhao is indeed a bit over the line, but everyone knows that this is loyalty to the emperor. Compared with Ma Shunde, who only knows how to flatter and flatter, people like Eunuch Zhao are actually rare and valuable
.
Eunuchs are all greedy for money, but as long as they get it wisely and don't go too far, they are good slaves.
Injuring an eunuch is a trivial matter, but my father, who always valued scholars, wanted to do something when thousands of people were making trouble, and couldn't even suppress his anger?
Is this person who can't even control his emotions now still the father she once looked up to?
Could it be that the vaguely circulated curse of Taizu is true?
After thinking about it, Princess Xinping said to a maid who was standing with her hands down: "You will go out through the back door later and send a letter to the palace to Taisun's Mansion."
"yes."
Taisun Mansion
In the small flower hall in the main courtyard, Su Ziji was sitting upright, while Jian Qu, Ye Taoist, and Wen Xunpeng were sitting on both sides.
People kept coming in to report the news they had found out, and one piece of news after another seemed to be good news, but no one present was happy.
Qian Wei actually made a decisive decision.
"Qian Wei acted vigorously and resolutely, and he held an interrogation when he returned... What do you think?" Su Ziji asked several people present after hearing the latest news.
Jian Qu breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Su Ziji, and said, "Qian Wei obviously wanted to settle the case quickly. He didn't support you in the hall, and he decisively wanted to close the case. Every step of the way, he was against the emperor."
The most beneficial thing is to be a loyal minister of the emperor."
By saying this, he was actually putting himself on the opposite side, but no one cared. They just listened to Jian Qu continue to say: "The only good thing is that judging from his actions, he doesn't want to see the royal family fighting.
occur."
Everyone was stunned, and the wild Taoist took over: "In my opinion, it is not impossible to cut the knot with a quick knife, label the person involved, punish him all at once, or even kill him with a stick on the spot."
Su Ziji nodded: "This Qian Wei is a loyal minister, but although he is more loyal to the emperor, he still has reservations between the emperor and the world. He is not completely one-sided..."
"Not like Ma Shunde, who only knows how to flatter and flatter."
"Qian Wei should have similar reasons to Zhao Xu. He doesn't want the emperor to do wrong things when he is old. He wants to end the case as soon as possible. First, he wants to save the emperor's face. He hopes that the emperor can stop it and not end up in trouble.
The riot has reached a point where it cannot be brought to an end and will leave a bad name in history."
"Secondly, I think that as long as the Lord can take over the throne smoothly, he will still be happy to see it."
"He knows that the most important thing now is to quickly close the case and then open the imperial examination, so as to appease most of the candidates." Wen Xunpeng said: "It's a pity... However, although Qian Wei's move is loyal, he is afraid of causing trouble.
Not small!"
It's a pity that I didn't say it later, but everyone knows that such an approach may not have good results, and the emperor may not appreciate it.
"Not bad!" After hearing this, several people nodded and acknowledged Wen Xunpeng's comments about Qian Wei.
Su Ziji's eyes flashed. What was even more pity was that once he and the emperor were in conflict, the conflict could not be reconciled. He was afraid that although Qian Wei was heartbroken, he would still kill everyone in his family. Since a breakup was inevitable, he had to minimize the turmoil. This
For the sake of the overall situation, the best thing for the overall situation is to kill him as soon as possible.
Therefore, we may consider how to solve this problem.
At this moment, Su Ziji saw the little fox poking his head outside and waved him in, but the little fox wagged its tail at him and did not come in.
oh?
Is there an outsider here?
Su Ziji immediately understood the meaning of this little thing's actions. He looked outside and almost the next moment, someone ran into the main courtyard from outside and came in respectfully.
"Princess Xinping's Mansion has sent you a letter, Your Highness."
"Oh?" Su Ziji was slightly startled.
When the letter was delivered to him, he took out the envelope, opened it, and looked at it, his expression softened.
Several people looked at each other, and then all their eyes fell on Su Ziji.
"You all should take a look, too." Su Ziji motioned to the Taoist priests to take a look first and then pass it on to others.
The wild Taoist was the one who had been following Su Ziji for the longest time. Since his master asked him to read it, he looked at the words and realized that this was not a letter of love, so he stood up and took it.
After reading the contents of the letter, the wild Taoist passed it to Wen Xunpeng.
Others looked relaxed when they saw it.
The wild Taoist even joked: "The princess loves and protects her lord, so she sent you the information."
After thinking about what was written in the letter, he added: "To be so irritable and irritable, Lord, does the emperor's attitude mean that he is impatient?"
Su Ziji secretly thought: "According to Zhennan Bode's information and other clues, the emperor wants to extend his life, but the Great Return Pill has not been refined for a long time?"
"The emperor's life span is approaching, as if a person is standing on the edge of a cliff, and he will fall if he is not careful. In this case, even the wise Lord may become confused."
"Of course, there is another possibility. It seems that Taizu was cursed and it also affected the emperor?"
He thought thoughtfully and said after a moment: "Whether he was in a hurry or not, it was enough to hit Eunuch Zhao and let him rest. This spoken word was the fatal blow. It seems that the emperor was very dissatisfied with Eunuch Zhao."
."
Wen Xunpeng said: "Eunuch Zhao has violated a taboo. Ministers can think about the country, but domestic slaves should only think about the emperor. Eunuch Zhao has crossed the line. However, the emperor actually wants to directly disperse thousands of people and do it."
It is very irrational to make such a decision, what a pity..."
This is the second time it’s a pity. It’s a pity that thousands of people knocked on the door without making a big fuss, and they were stopped by Chief Assistant and Qian Wei!
It's a pity that Su Ziji agreed with Eunuch Zhao's evaluation, but he didn't completely agree with it.
Is Eunuch Zhao a qualified domestic slave?
In Su Ziji's opinion, this eunuch was indeed a qualified domestic slave.
He is greedy for money, but he knows what money should be taken and what money should not be taken.
He also holds grudges, is petty, and defends his shortcomings, but when important matters are involved, he also knows what business is.
When it came to the emperor's safety, this eunuch was indeed willing to risk his life.
But when it comes to selfishness and dealings with other forces, this eunuch also has it, but the reason is that the emperor no longer trusts him so much and values this slave.
House slaves should indeed only think about the emperor, but Eunuch Zhao was obviously a former chief eunuch and knew the seriousness of the matter. It was because of the emperor's consideration that he was unwilling to obey and disperse the people.
However, this difference of opinion was not the main point, and he had no intention of showing it. He nodded directly and said, "Maybe the emperor is really confused."
After saying that, I couldn't help laughing.
After laughing, he suddenly issued an order: "This matter needs to continue to make a big fuss. You go back and choose a few people to spread the news immediately. Just say...the emperor is old and confused."
"Said he wanted to protect the eunuch and punish the chief assistant."
Didn't he want to hand over the eunuch who was sent? He just added fuel to the flames and couldn't let the matter just go away.
Everyone stood up one after another, as expected.
The wild Taoist even touched his palms and smiled: "Wonderful! Only when the water is muddy can you, my lord, fish. This matter started because of the emperor, but it will not end when he says it will end."
"It's just like when you appointed your lord as your grandson. Now it seems that the emperor has no good intentions. But now that he has established his grandson, you want to easily get rid of him? How can we let him do so? We don't want to, and neither does everyone in the world."
These words were loud and clear, and everyone was shaking their heads. Su Ziji smiled, and then changed his words: "Qian Wei wants to cut through the mess quickly, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for Zhen Nanbo Mansion."
"I want to see what kind of big fish is hidden in Zhennan Bo's mansion."
To this day, Su Ziji is even more suspicious of the black hand and must pull it out cleanly.
