When Zhao Yuannan heard this, his heart jumped. He thought that he had been exposed, but who knew that in the next moment, he would hear some strange sounds. Why is it strange? It sounded like something heavy had landed on the table. The sound of the collision was like a bundle of silver taels? Because he did not see it with his own eyes, Zhao Yuannan was not sure what it was, it was placed on the table anyways.
Fu Shengquan looked at it, and heard the voice, and knew what was inside the bag. Fu Shengquan was also not a good person, so he naturally would not reject money that was delivered to his doorstep.
"What does that mean?" Fu Shengquan laughed coldly, and looked at Du Hemiing coldly, "I'm afraid Master Shang Shu has walked into the wrong place?"
"There are at least 100 taels of silver here." Du Hemiing's eyes turned cold, "I just want to ask Young Master Fu to do one thing."
Fu Shengquan scoffed, "Do you think that you can buy all these with just this little bit of silver? "Do I have to listen to Master Dean's orders?"
"This silver does not belong to me, but it doesn't matter who paid for it. The most important thing is that it is only a deposit, if it is successful …" After that, the silver would be delivered into the hands of the eunuch in a steady stream. Whether you want it or not, it's all in this eunuch's plans! " Du Hemiing took a sip of the water in his cup, he had a calm and composed expression, "Eunuch, you should think about it, returning the money is not meant for me."
He was obviously using the people behind to suppress Fu Shengquan, but he was an elite in the palace, so he naturally knew what Du Hemiing meant. Behind Du Hemiing was his Qi Family, and behind him was his Prime Minister's Estate. No matter which one, he could not afford to offend them. However, Regent's Mansion were not to be trifled with, and if one offended Dongfang Weiming, wouldn't that still be death?
"I was a servant in the palace, and I didn't want to offend anyone, so …" We'll have to see what it is. I don't dare to keep such stupid things. "I don't dare to do those shameful things behind the emperor's back while I'm eating his salary." How could Fu Shengquan accept it so easily? If this Du Hemiing set a trap for him, then he wouldn't be able to bear the consequences. If something unexpected happened in the future, the family business that he, Fu Shengquan, had painstakingly accumulated for so long in the palace would probably be completely destroyed.
Du Hemiing moved closer to Fu Shengquan, and laughed in a low voice: "What I want this official to do, is … I will have to trouble you not to do anything! "
Hearing this, Fu Shengquan was slightly startled, and even Zhao Yuannan outside the window was startled, what did this mean? Do not do anything? How strange! Very strange!
"Don't do anything?" Fu Shengquan frowned, she thought she heard wrong.
"Yes sir!" Du Hemiing said straightforwardly, "No matter what I see or hear, I will have to trouble you to act as if I didn't see or hear anything. It was that simple! Eunuch, can you do it? "
Fu Shengquan was still pondering, just what kind of medicine was inside Du Hemiing's bottle gourd? Don't care about anything? Was he supposed to be the one to give up his position for Fu Shengquan? What good would it do them? Although it was worth it to be able to obtain such a sum of money without doing anything, if there was some great scheme behind it, even if he did not do anything, he would be implicated. This way, it was impossible to wash off even after jumping into the Yellow River!
There was no room for mistakes in this imperial court. Even the slightest mistake could cause a head to fall to the ground and die without a complete corpse!
Fu Shengquan laughed, and then silently raised his cup to his mouth, taking a sip, and not replying on the spot.
Seeing that, Du Hemiing sat up straight, his face turned cold: Are you willing, Young Master Fu?
"Master Shang Shu only said that, he told me to not worry about anything and to not do anything, yet I received this much silver. Do you really think that I am a three year old child? If anything were to happen to the head of this palace, Imperial Palace Services Office would not be exempt from responsibility. "We serve the Emperor, and each one of us has his head held high as he handles errands. We don't dare to be this careless." Fu Shengquan squinted his eyes, his green and white face revealed a trace of hostility, "Say something clear, I will think about it."
Du Hemiing sighed, "The matter is very simple. If someone is restless and wanted to use the Rites of Heavenly Worship to stir up some trouble, the Emperor is naturally too young to do anything about it. Therefore, this matter, will just be a headache for Regent's Mansion! " He looked at Fu Shengquan with a deeper meaning, "When I say it like that, does Young Master Fu understand? I'm just a messenger, and whether I succeed or not isn't up to me to decide. "Eunuch Fu, it is true that you're weighing the pros and cons, but if you weigh it too long, something might happen to you!"
Fu Shengquan did not speak, he stared at the bags of silver for a long time, and finally stood up slowly, "I am not a hard person, and am not an ignorant person, but let's put it bluntly, if anything happens, I will not implicate you. Although I am not a big shot, I am still someone who keeps my word in this palace. I hope that Sir Shang Chen can understand my difficulties! "
Hearing that, Du Hemiing was relieved, "Alright, then I will go back first. Regarding the matter of offering sacrifices to the heavens, I will send someone to discuss it with my father-in-law."
"Alright!" Fu Shengquan agreed as he sent Du Hemiing out.
After Du Hemiing left, Fu Shengquan immediately scolded: "What are you doing, why are you displaying your might in front of me? He had been secretly cursing himself as a dog with Regent's Mansion, but didn't know that he was only raised by that trash with Taifu Mansion! "Humph!" He turned around and glanced at the bag containing the silver taels. If it wasn't for the fact that he was dazzled by the silver taels, he would not have bothered with the letter. Since the palace was an independent existence, there was no need to rely on the breathing of others.
Only when there were completely no movements from inside did Zhao Yuannan rub his numb legs and slowly walked out from the bushes. He had already heard the conversation between the two of them clearly. He felt a chill run down his spine and quickly spread to his limbs and bones. What do you mean, someone was restless and wanted to use the Heavenly Worship Ceremony to stir up some trouble? Who was he referring to?
Zhao Yuannan was guilty of being a thief, his palms sweating, he quickly ran towards the Qianyuan Hall. This cannot be delayed, or it will cause a huge disturbance. If the plan were to leak out, either he would have a traitor, or someone else would have a weakness, but no matter which one, it would be fatal for Zhao Jing! Zhao Yuannan thought that if he were to die, then so be it, but Zhao Jing was the only hope of the Zhao Family, and if they could not even protect the Emperor, then the Zhao Family would have no hope.
After hearing Zhao Yuannan's report, Zhao Jing sat by herself at the window for a long time. She rested her chin on her hands, no one knew what was going through her mind.
"Your majesty?" Wei Shuge lit up the lamp.
Zhao Jing regained his senses, "Is it night?"
"Yes sir!" Wei Shuge nodded.
"What about the princess?" Zhao Jing asked.
Wei Shuge laughed, "Your Majesty, please be at ease. The Empress of Imperial Concubine Jian brought the little princess back to the Chu Yun Pavilion a long time ago. The princess knows that the emperor has been busy with government affairs lately, so she didn't dare to disturb him.
Zhao Jing thoughtfully nodded his head, "That's good!"
"Is the emperor thinking about what Hui Sheng said?" Wei Shuge asked softly.
"At the beginning, I did indeed feel that this matter had something to do with us, but now I feel that this is not the case." If it was any of us, then it wouldn't be the Ministry Of Rites Emperor, Ke Bozhao would not have been able to endure it for a long time. Even though Ke Bozhao is a student of Qi Yunshan, his face and heart have long ago become incompatible, so it is impossible for him to watch Qi Yunshan pull us down from the throne! " Zhao Jing's eyes darkened, "The only explanation is, other than us, there are also people who have decided to make a move at the Rites of Heavenly Worship!"
"The emperor?" Wei Shuge said coldly.
Zhao Jing shook his head, "Not necessarily." She stood up with her hands behind her back, "Everyone knows that I am only using my name, and that there isn't much meaning for me to attack. After all, without me, how could Dongfang Weiming have any other puppets? Furthermore, the situation at hand was not suitable for a new ruler to come out, the enemies outside the border were all ready to move, and the upper echelons of the court were all scattered, even Qi Yunshan would not be able to take control of the situation in an instant. If he couldn't hit his Regent's Mansion with it, Qi Yunshan definitely wouldn't dare to make a move again. Qi Rufeng's death is already a heavy injury, how would you dare to do it a second time? "
Wei Shuge nodded, "Then what do they want to do? Who exactly are you, to actually be like us, and want to make a move against the Rites of Heavenly Worship? "
"We're not the same!" Zhao Jing laughed gently, "Since the other party wants to make a move, then this means that our suspicion can be eliminated! Do you understand what I mean? " She looked at Wei Shuge meaningfully.
Hearing that, Wei Shuge was first stunned, then nodded seriously, "Understood!"
Since there was someone who was willing to take the blame for them, why not? Then let's wait!
The wind outside was still blowing.
On the day of the Sacrifice, the palace was already extremely busy. Zhao Jing had already worn a bright yellow dragon robe with golden threads and a golden crown made of jade. Looking at himself in the mirror, he truly looked like a young emperor. At first glance, he looked really handsome, and Zhao Jing felt that he was about to fall in love with her.
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Jing facepalmed, "I'm afraid I'm exhausted today."
Zhao Yuannan hurriedly took out a pack of candied fruits and handed it over, "Your majesty, if you get busy later on, it'll be too late for us to eat. This servant will keep it for you, if you're hungry, I'll just put one in it for you. This sweet dish is the best at bearing hunger. We'll have a good meal after that. "
Hearing that, Zhao Jing hurriedly stuffed a candied fruit into his mouth, "When you get busy, it will be dark and gloomy, and today we will have to go back and forth in the Tai Temple, at that time, we will not be able to care about that."
"This servant knows that the emperor likes to eat sweet things, so I specifically instructed the kitchen to add some tonic into the candied fruits." Zhao Yuannan smiled and kept it.
The eunuch came to invite the emperor to sit on the throne. He had to pass by Andermen, Wudmen, and then the people to meet him, the civil and military officials to meet him. Finally, he burned incense and prayed and climbed the steps to the temple. Before entering the great temple, the emperor's feet must not be stained with the dust outside the temple. They must be cleaned, and he must step on the human cushion to enter.
Zhao Jing always acted as if he was an emperor, the emperor didn't smile at all, he had to have enough prestige. She stood on the throne, looking at the black mass of commoners, all kneeling in unison and shouting "Long live My Emperor". At that moment, something in her heart was rapidly expanding. The proud son of heaven who was above the rest of the world, all the lives in this world were beneath her feet.
She raised her proud head and straightened her thin body. One day, she wanted the life and death of this great power in the world to be in her hands. She wanted everyone to willingly submit to her. She was a monarch, the son of the heavens of Grand Xia. From this moment onwards, everyone would only acknowledge her as their chosen one.
However, just as they arrived at the entrance of the temple, a troop of imperial guards suddenly rushed over. The sounds of armors approaching startled everyone in the area, and in the next moment, the entire place fell into a deathly silence.
What had happened?
