Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 492 The Son of Heaven

   Just as Ye Ming and Li Xin in Jingzhou City were thinking hard about how to enter Shu, the two of them had written a petition requesting to suspend the dispatch of troops, which was also delivered to the capital by emergency.

What was sent to the capital together was not only the letter from the two of them, but also the letter from Li Xin and Ye Ming to their families. When they were sent to the capital, the two of them could be considered a little bit of a playbook.

   However, these things were not sent to the two of them's homes, but all of them were sent to the Shangshu Desk, and a few Zaisukes headed by Zhang Qu put these memorial books on the table.

It is worth mentioning that since Zhang Qu became the witness of the enthronement edict, his position as the first assistant has become more and more stable, especially after Huan Chu stepped down, basically no one of the other prime ministers will be different from him. Opinion, this Haoran Gong has become the undisputed leader of civil servants in the new dynasty.

However, the impact of that incident was good and bad. The good thing is that Emperor Taikang will always reuse Zhang Qu. The bad thing is that he will inevitably get the infamy of "soft bones" because of this, and there are many people in the court and the opposition Said he saw the wind make the rudder cloud and so on.

   But these are all minor details. As long as the Taikang Dynasty is still there, the status of Haorangong will be unshakable.

He first looked at these letters, then picked out Li Xin and Ye Ming's letters from the family, handed them over to the messenger beside him, and said, "Go to the two generals' respective residences, how come the letters are also delivered? here?"

   As soon as he said these words, the other four prime ministers followed suit.

In fact, the family letters of generals who are leading troops abroad are generally read by the imperial court in an open or secret way. Li Xin and Ye Ming sent the family letters through this channel, and they didn't mind them reading it. However, Zhang Xiang was obviously a righteous gentleman. Disdain to do such a thing.

   When he spoke, the others naturally didn't dare to say more, so they went down holding the letters from the two of them.

   Then there is the memorial book sent by two people.

Generally speaking, the Shangshutai should take a look at the memorials sent from all over A state affairs cannot be handled by an emperor.

   But Ye Ming and Li Xin's joint memorial, they have to show it to the emperor first.

  Haoran looked at the names of Ye Ming and Li Xin on the envelope and frowned slightly.

   Even if the two of you have a good personal relationship, you shouldn't be co-signing together like this at this juncture. Ye Ming has been in the court all his life, why can't he understand it?

But these matters have nothing to do with him Zhang Qu after all, he held the envelope in his hand, glanced left and right, and said, "Southwest military affairs should be the most important thing at the moment, let's not look at it first, this old man will go. Weiyang Palace, present to Your Majesty face to face."

   Several other people nodded.

   "Hard hard work."

   "It's been hard work."

   Zhang Qu stood up and glanced at the four colleagues in the office, feeling neither sad nor happy.

Although he is powerful now, this power is not without a price. After all, no one has said about the mutiny today, and no one will say it in the future. Most of the future history books will clearly write it down. At that time , he Zhang Qu will become one of the accomplices.

   In other words, the current power is to be exchanged for future fame.

  To be honest, as a scholar who cherishes his reputation, Zhang Qu was not very happy to do this exchange, but this exchange was forced by the late emperor. After all, he was the one who watched the late emperor lock the edict into the box.

  Thinking of this, Haoran Gong sighed in his heart, holding this memorial book, all the way into the Weiyang Palace.

  It was already midsummer at this time, and the weather was a little hot. Zhang Xiang walked in the imperial city, walking under the shade of the palace wall, and after a while, he arrived at the gate of Weiyang Palace.

He was the chief assistant of the dynasty, and before he arrived at the gate of Weiyang Palace, someone went in to report, and soon the young supervisor Xiao Zheng walked out in person and cupped his hands to Zhang Qu: "Why did Duke Haoran come in person? already?"

Zhang Qu nodded to Xiao Zheng, and then said: "There is an urgent document sent from the southwest side. The old man was afraid that there was something urgent, so he sent it to His Majesty in person. Listen to the Holy Will."

  Xiao Zheng walked to Zhang Xiang's side, supported his sleeve, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is waiting for you inside, you can go in."

   Zhang Xiang was very polite and nodded slightly to Xiao Zheng.

   "There is work and Xiaozheng."

But it's not that Zhang Qu is approachable and approachable. In fact, this old man is very arrogant on weekdays. In addition to giving some good looks to outstanding scholars or peers, he usually has a taste of not being close to strangers. The reason for being so polite is because this young eunuch, if nothing else, will be the head of the inner court in the future.

   This is the middle of the second year of Taikang.

In other words, the former **** Chen Ju, who has been guarding the imperial mausoleum for a year and a half, is unlikely to come back. Although Chen Ju is still holding the position of the **** as the internal eunuch, anyone with a discerning eye can see it. It can be seen that today's emperor prefers this young man in front of him.

Although the inner court of Dajin does not interfere in political affairs, the power of the eight prisons in the inner court is not small. Tianmujian can directly monitor hundreds of officials and act as ears and eyes for the emperor. It is not to the point where it is necessary to offend, and no one will be willing to offend this. An unremarkable young eunuch.

   After all, if he really takes charge of the inner court completely in the future, a small report from Tianmujian will make all the officials in the capital tremble.

  The two entered the study of Weiyang Palace one after the other. At this time, Emperor Taikang was not taking care of political affairs, but held a volume of books, half lying on the reclining chair and swaying reading.

This novelty was created when the Marquis of Jing'an was in the capital. Later, Emperor Taikang saw it when he went to the Marquis of Jing'an mansion, so he asked the Marquis of Jing'an to help him to get one too. It is quite relaxing to lie on it.

But this thing is not very solemn, so when Zhang Qu was waiting outside and Xiao Zheng came in to report, the Emperor Taikang stood up from the reclining chair, and after instructing a few palace servants to hide the reclining chair, the emperor sat down again. After sitting on the chair, Zhang Xiang was able to come in.

After   Zhang Qu saluted, the emperor got up with a smile and said, "Haoran Gong has any book, just send someone to deliver it, why did you even go there yourself?"

   "It's a playbook from the southwest."

After    Zhang Qu paused, he lowered his head and said, "It's a joint memorial written by General Ye and the Marquis of Jing'an. The old minister was afraid that something big might happen in the southwest, so he simply came to present to His Majesty in person."

   Emperor Taikang's complexion changed slightly.

   At this time, if there is any urgent report, it should be the Southwest War.

  The front line is already fighting?

Xiao Zheng on the side of    winked, and stepped forward to hold this memorial book in front of the emperor.

   At this time, the envelope has been removed.

  The emperor opened the book, and after a brief glance, his face became a little relieved.

   "Relax Zhang Xiang, the Southwest hasn't fought yet."

  The emperor continued to read until he saw the place where the inscription was signed, and two names were written.

   His Majesty the Emperor of Great Jin frowned slightly.

The power of the    Ye family seems to be too great.

   He felt a little uncomfortable.

   "Zhang Xiang, this memorial, take it back to the Shangshu desk to discuss it, and give me an answer tomorrow."

  …
