Dongchang needs talents like you

To put it bluntly, Wang Lu relies on his favor (regardless of whether it is true or not, he thinks so anyway), while Fan Jin relies on his old friendship with Sun Erba. This is where the dispute arose.

There is also a veiled hint from the meddlesome, why can't the two be cited together, why hurt the peace.They said almost the same thing:

——How can a good woman serve her second husband?Not even a good guy!

Cough, just kidding.The real reason is that, I don't know where the rumors came from, and the words are convincing, saying that the grand eunuch must have one and only one guaranteed quota for joining the cabinet.In the face of interests, it is nothing.Don't talk about neighbors, father and son can beat their heads and bleed.The two started fighting.

They beat and scolded at the same time, one said that the other party was delusional, and the other said that he didn't even see what you were.When a literati gets angry and scolds others, he will not show much more self-restraint than ordinary people.

Chi Ning was so happy when he heard it, he wished he could be on the spot, add fuel to their wonderful performance, applaud, fight, fight.

Unfortunately, gossip can only go so far.The information that Chi Ning and Su Ren can currently obtain is still too little and too superficial. They can neither know Qian Xiaoyu's real plan, nor can they know whether there is any so-called citation, and they are not sure how much power Eunuch Sun has. Power, how many people can be cited to join the cabinet.

All they could see was the excitement of being beaten into pig brains, and after watching it, it was time to end.

I really want to get in early.Chi Ning yearned for the boss's struggle, and once again sighed with envy, jealousy and hatred in his heart.

【you will. 】Yuan Jun said firmly.

Chi Ningquan thought Yuan Jun was comforting him, talking about the future, and age is his biggest fatal injury at present.Although it is said that eunuchs are generally much younger than ministers at the age of participating in politics, there are still no one under [-] who can participate in maintenance.

"I think there must be something wrong." The people of Su Ren ran between the Imperial Academy and the Neishutang, and heard the news of both the former dynasty and the harem, all-encompassing, and felt the atmosphere of the coming rain .It's fine if Qian Xiaoyu doesn't make a move, but if he makes a move, he must make a big move.At this level, Su Ren can't affect the bosses, all he can do is not to be affected by Chi Yu.

"I really hope they can do things faster." Chi Ning felt that he only had the right to watch the excitement now, and he really hoped that the excitement would be more violent, so that he could enjoy it.

"What the son means is that regardless of whether Eunuch Sun is successful or not, he will make a move." Su Ren further hinted that this is the real reason why he came to Chi Ning. He can't do much in this matter, But his godfather Chi Ning is different, "For the time being, there is no other candidate in the palace who can satisfy His Majesty more than him."

In the past, there was a eunuch Ma who could take over, and it seemed that he was about to be brought up and reused step by step. Now, it's hard to say.

Chi Ning was startled for a moment, and then relaxed again. By lifting the lid of the cup and drinking tea, he concealed his true emotions.There is no need for Chi Ning to ask again, and there is no need for Su Ren to elaborate. They have already understood the true meaning of Su Ren's words-whether eunuch Sun is promoted or is calculated to fall to the bottom, the palm seal of the imperial horse supervisor and the admiral of the three major battalions All positions will be given up.

Eunuch Sun didn't like these things, but some people could.

It is said that the rebellion of scholars will fail in three years, and the rebellion of eunuchs also needs military power.Chi Ning himself doesn't need to think about it. Unless the new emperor's brain is kicked by a donkey, it is absolutely impossible to entrust his wealth and life to Chi Ning.

But what about everyone else?

Since the new emperor has no one in his heart, it means that everyone has a possibility.Aren't Yu Xingchui and Jiang Zhiwei both top choices?Yu Xingchui's martial arts are superb, and it is very easy to be transferred from the internal official supervisor to the imperial horse supervisor; Jiang Zhiwei has been serving as the admiral of Nangong Haizi all year round. Although he himself often enters the imperial prison, Nangong's security has never been out once. Mistake, otherwise the higher ups wouldn't have allowed him to this day.

Even if the two senior brothers can't do it, there are still so many talents in the Zhennan faction.

Taking a ten-thousand-step back, even if you just pick someone who is close to the Zhen'an faction, it would be good.

The most important thing is that political games sometimes don't take the new emperor's preferences as the criterion. For example, the position of prince this time is definitely not given by the new emperor willingly, he just has no choice.

Now that the struggle between Qian Xiaoyu and Sun Erba over the position of the Supervisor of Rituals has become fierce, the situation in the palace is bound to experience some earth-shattering turmoil.It is also a way to pick up the leaks, or follow the empress dowager to force the new emperor to "have no choice" again.

Su Ren didn't know why Chi Ning disappeared recently, but he knew that since ancient times, wealth and wealth have been sought in danger.

Chi Ning also knows that the opportunity must not be missed, and the reason why time never comes, if he hadn't been involved in a major event related to the emperor's heir, he would have actively entered the arena with the number plate that caused the trouble.

Alas, fate, the little goblin, is just such a torturer.

"I..." Chi Ning opened his mouth.

Seeing that Chi Ning spoke suddenly, Su Ren persuaded Chi Ning instead: "This is a big matter, and it's normal for Dad to think about it a lot. No matter what you choose, my son will support you."

"Manpower can't do it, so let's ask the gods and Buddhas for help." Chi Ning panted heavily, almost flashing Su Ren's waist.

"Gods and Buddhas?" Su Ren never expected that Chi Ning would open such a mouth, either to start planning to participate, or to sit on the sidelines early, asking what the gods and Buddhas are doing?

"Speaking of which, didn't I always say that I would introduce my baby to you?"

"..." Su Ren had heard Xia Xia mention "godfather's baby" back then, but he didn't expect Chi Ning to be serious.He, he, he, he is a good son, a filial son and grandson with an unswerving heart.But seeing such exciting things, he really had to start to ask himself, is this really stupid or not.At least, at least give him time to prepare mentally!

Xia Xia happened to be here too, and he was also summoned by Chi Ning to inquire about the current situation.

Seeing that his two sons were there, Chi Ning became even more motivated. Without giving them a chance to repent, he took them to the shrine that he specially opened up in the small courtyard of the value house.

The smog is lingering, the woody fragrance is concentrated, and the one enshrined on the middle shrine is Chi Ning's treasure.

Xia Xia and Su Ren gritted their teeth and stomped their feet with a heart that was even heavier than going to the grave, and took a look at it, then they were stunned, why is it a statue of a tree? !

Yes, on the shrine is a miniature statue of a tree, exquisite and small, with complete details.

Naturally, it is impossible for Chi Ning to enshrine Yuan Jun. He cannot let anyone discover his weakness.However, in the statue of the whole tree, there is actually a section that was designed based on Mr. Yuan's original appearance, so it is not a lie to the sons.

"This is my baby." Chi Ning has long wanted to tell others the story of him and the sacred tree, "I entered the palace when I was young, and the road encountered a snowstorm. The team lost its direction and could only circle in the mountains. Then Mountains and rivers are full of doubts, and there is no way out, and there is another village with dark willows and flowers. Just when all of us are about to despair, we can see a sacred tree growing on the cliff in a daze, covering the sky and the sun, in a whirling posture..."

Then, Chi Xiaoning fell asleep, and when he woke up again, there was a piece of ebony in his arms.

By accident, Chi Ning carefully hid Wumu all the way and brought it into the palace. By chance, he discovered the magic of Wumu.Relying on this miracle, Chi Ning made great strides all the way in the palace full of dangers, and achieved the fortune he is today.

"Later, due to some accidents, the sacred tree was accidentally lost, and I checked repeatedly to no avail." Chi Ning sighed.To be honest, although Yuan Jun did not admit it, Chi Ning always felt that his loss of ebony was not artificial or accidental, but Yuan Jun left by himself, just like it appeared in Chi Ning's arms for the first time, quietly Silent, coming and going like the wind, "I was in Jiangzuo years ago, and now I welcome back again."

"It's said that misfortune comes with good fortune. I think that's why God asked me to go to Jiangzuo."

"I also know that what I say is useless, so I just took advantage of this incident to teach you how powerful this baby is."

Then, Chi Ning really began to bathe, burn incense, and pray devoutly.While he was preparing, Kucai went to invite Wu Sheng and Li Shimei, who had moved into the East Palace with Wenchen, together.Donggong is next door to Dongchang, very close.

This is what Chi Ning meant, let some of his sons get to know each other first.In the future, everyone will have to walk in the palace, with multiple connections and multiple paths.Before that, Chi Ning's sons didn't even know each other.The eunuch's recognition of his son is somewhat different from that of the folk.The sons don't pay attention to the order of friendship, and even compete with each other, and generally only maintain a single-line connection.

Chi Ning doesn't like this traditional model very much, and is now trying to change it a little bit.

In the small shrine, six people including Chi Ning knelt down.The others watched Chi Ning helplessly in front of everyone, and took out a stick engraved with unknown scriptures, preparing to predict good or bad luck in front of the tree carving.

This is a new trick that Chi Ning came up with in the imperial prison, and it was also inspired by the Queen Mother's methods - some things have been hidden, but it is not as shocking as taking out multiple cumbersome steps for everyone to see.

It's like when Chi Ning returned to Beijing, he got advice from Mr. Yuan, so that he could turn danger into good luck and go smoothly.But the people who followed Chi Ning didn't know it, including Kucai, they all had doubts about many of Chi Ning's decisions, and found it incredible and inexplicable.Even if the matter was resolved smoothly in the end, it would still be confusing and puzzling.

But if Chi Ning used the excuse that he had asked the gods and Buddhas, and there were real hexagrams to show, it would be more understandable and gain people's hearts.

Things about gods and Buddhas may be underestimated, and unexpected things may be achieved.

So, after he came out of the imperial prison, Chi Ning ordered people to use good wood to make such a lottery holder, and planned to take his sons to start feudal superstition activities.

Of course, the lottery in Chi Ning's hands is not the one he built with a lot of money, but the one transformed by Mr. Yuan.The whole body is black, round and smooth, and when you hold it in your hand, it seems that you can still feel the warmth of your skin. It is a wonderful and indescribable feeling, and it also brings a lot of strange stimulation to Chi Ning.

But Chi Ning will not let go, because he is also asking for thousands of dollars. After agreeing to many treaties of "forfeiting power and humiliating the country", he finally persuaded Mr. Yuan to cooperate with him in such a supernatural activity.

Chi Ning didn't say what he was asking for, but as long as his son Su Ren knew it and it would come true afterwards, it would be done.

The other three were at a loss. Seeing Chi Ning's mysterious and solemn appearance, they gradually changed from bewilderment at the beginning to instinctive awe in their hearts.

Because of Daqi's state religion, there are still a few true atheists, not to mention Wu Sheng, his own Gu is already very illusory.

In the sound of chanting sutras, the shadows of Sanskrit chime lamps are indescribable, until the distracting thoughts are removed and the mind is calm.

With the sound of "pa", the golden light flickered, and one of the wooden sticks that had been spinning in the barrel finally flew out of it and landed in front of Chi Ning.

It is a lucky sign.

At the moment when the sign appeared, everyone breathed a sigh of relief in the tense atmosphere, including Chi Ning himself.He just asked Yuan Jun for help, but he didn't ask Yuan Jun in advance whether his trip would go well or whether he should take the risk of gaining the position of the Horse Supervisor.

Now, Mr. Yuan has given the answer. As he said, Chi Ning will definitely participate in it.

【no? 】Why didn't Chi Ning know when he fell to the bottom?

[Prison. 】

[This counts? 】

[I say yes, so forget it. 】Yuan Jun is really an evil god who couldn't be more eccentric.

But so what?This is the evil god. If he is not partial, all living beings are equal, and everything is like a dog. How is it different from the righteous god?He is not so selfless, he only prefers Chi Ning.

After the enigmatic questioning ceremony ended, Chi Ning made the decision to enter the arena, and at the same time reaped the doubts of his sons. He was not in a hurry to answer immediately, but just started to introduce each other to everyone and get to know each other.

This is Su Ren, and that is Wu Sheng and Li Shimei.

Su Ren was adopted as godson by Chi Ning before Chi Ning went to Jiangzuo. Except for Xia Xia, he and Chi Ning's other sons had no time to start any contact.He thought that he was the latest son he recognized, but he didn't expect Chi Ning to leave and come back again. In just a few months, two more "goddaughters" came out under his name.

For Xia Xia, who has already firmly believed that Chi Ning only likes to be his son, the sudden appearance of these two delicate-looking "sisters" is really impossible without watching.

Li Shimei and Wu Sheng are now the prince's female officials, and they are no longer comparable to the embarrassing prince's daughters in the past.The status is not what it used to be, and there is not much difference in status when talking with Xia Xia and Su Ren.It's just that three of the four of them have already understood Chi Ning's intentions. Their godfathers haven't given up on their original plan to engage in political investment.

It's just that what Chi Ning and his master Eunuch Zhang were waiting for was the son of Emperor Tianhe and Empress Qian, but now they only have His Royal Highness Wen Chen as the only choice.

The recent changes in the palace are really not small, the new emperor's children were all sent to Nangong, and Wen Chen, the only son of Emperor Tianhe, became the crown prince.It looks like Tianhedi won, but in the harem, the empress and concubines are already pregnant, His Royal Highness Wen Chen is still young, and the new emperor is at the peak of spring and autumn. It seems that he can live another 500 years. No matter what, no one dares to make guarantees.

Xia Xia approached Chi Ning privately and wanted to ask him, is there really no problem in standing in line so early?

"I will only support His Royal Highness Wen Chen, this is not to take sides." It is a desperate investment.Chi Ning would not force his son to stand on the same line with him, he just expressed his position.He is not very loyal to Tianhe Emperor, but the new emperor wants him not to survive, so he can only act first to make it difficult for the new emperor: "You can have your own ideas."

"It's all up to Dad to decide." Xia Xia has passed the Ming Road, and is ready to stand on Chi Ning's side with a clear banner.

What Xia Xia wanted to ask from the beginning was not a matter of stance. Chi Ning's stance was his stance. He is so powerful that once he is elected, he will not change.His purpose of saying this at the beginning was actually to ask what happened to Chi Ning after he was arrested and imprisoned, and whether he decided to end early after knowing some news.

But you can tell what Chi Ning means. There are some things that even his son can't reveal, so Xia Xia won't ask any more.

"It's really for your own good." Although Chi Ning also hates the saying "it's all for your own good", but the fact is that the world is not black and white.In some cases, concealing the truth is the best course of action.At least now, it would not be a wise decision to let Xiaxia and the others know the news of the difficulty of the new emperor's heir, and it would only bring life danger to all of them.

"My son knows." Xia Xia's trust in Chi Ning is unimaginable to others, and even Chi Ning doesn't necessarily know how important he is to him.

Xia Xia was not an eunuch who was lucky enough to enter the palace from the very beginning, but an eunuch prepared by others for the powerful.

Whether it is legal for the rich and powerful to keep eunuchs is still a gray area in Daqi.Generally, the emperor would turn a blind eye and close one eye, but if someone wanted to talk about something with someone else's eunuch, it would be a breeze.

It's hard to say how most eunuchs came here, but for the few around Chi Ning, he can say with a clear conscience that he didn't persecute them here.

There are many folks who have castrated their children and want to send them to Da Nei Bo Qianqian, but these people don't know that Da Nei is not anyone who wants to enter, and they often only cut their children on their own initiative. Only then did I realize that there was no way to ask for help, not even the "beautiful and kind-hearted" old lady Tibetan.

This world is so cruel. Some people think that the eunuch in the palace has lost the ability to be a man is already very miserable, but they don't know that it is even more miserable for those who have lost their ancestral roots and cannot even enter the palace.

Xiaxia is one of them.

They can only choose to be eunuchs for the powerful, and those who love to use eunuchs are often the eunuchs themselves.

Chi Ning selected a few eunuchs he found pleasing to the eye from the eunuchs who had been recruited under his sect, the master's sect, and the two senior brothers' sects, and gave the other party two options: really arrange them to enter the palace, or transfer them directly to his eunuchs. around.

Everyone made different choices, but Chi Ning left those who were willing to stay by his side.In his own words, he has too many choices, why must he make himself unhappy?

So no matter what others say, in Xiaxia's eyes, his godfather is the best person in the world.

Without Chi Ning, whether he can live to this day is in between.

He will always remember that winter, when his godfather came from the east on a horse and saw him lying in front of Zhumen, he walked away as if he hadn't seen him, but turned back in the end.

He sat on the horse and asked him if he would follow him.

If he wants, he will be called Kucai.

Yes, Xiaxia is the first generation of bitter vegetables, and now this bitter vegetables should be called cat vegetables.

After serving Chi Ning for a short time, Xia Xia was spotted by a lady, she left Chi Ning's side and went to serve in the harem, and then moved to Dongchang, where she accepted Chi Ning as her godfather.

At that time, Chi Ning already had a brand new bitter vegetable by his side, and his daily task was just to play with Chi Ning's cat.Xiaxia looks at Kucai as if he has seen his former self, and it is inevitable that he will be more pleasant to Kucai.This is how Kucai felt that Master Xia was the best son around his family.

***

Just when Chi Ning was still thinking about how to enter the arena and get the right to participate in the struggle of Qian Xiaoyu and others, the matter came to him first.

Probably this is why Mr. Yuan gave a good judgment.No need for Chi Ning to do anything, luck will take the initiative to come to the door.

When the incident happened, Chi Ning was at the Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing, joining forces with his second senior brother Yu Xingchui to make amends to his senior brother Jiang Zhiwei.Jiang Zhiwei didn't know what happened. The better the two juniors treated him, the more scared he was, and he took the initiative to confess: "I really haven't done anything recently, and I'm very honest. I even talked to the will-o'-the-wisp in the prison. It's just a conversation, I didn't agree to deliver the news for him!"

"!!!" When did you start talking to the will-o'-the-wisp in the prison? !Chi Ning was furious, wishing he could shake the water in his big brother's mind on the spot, he really refused to stop for a moment.

Only then did Jiang Zhiwei realize that he had missed something, so he quickly covered his mouth, no matter how much the two juniors questioned him, he would not say more.In fact, this is something that can be thought of. Jiang Zhiwei often stays in the imperial prison, and has been with those will-o'-the-wisps for a long time, even if it is a stone, he can talk to him.Not to mention that there is a group of will-o'-the-wisps in it, which is not the main thing to stop.

It's just that Jiang Zhiwei is still hesitating whether to help. He is very aware of the fact that his brain is not enough, and he is afraid that the other party will deceive people if he becomes a ghost.In other words, ghosts and goblins are more likely to deceive people, aren't they?

It has to be said that Jiang Zhiwei is also a talent, and he can still hesitate to come up with a correct result when the process is all wrong.

Chi Ning originally wanted to tell Jiang Zhiwei directly and decisively that these people are not allowed to be taken care of in the future.However, he still didn't say anything in the end, and seeing that Jiang Zhiwei knew what to do, he let him go.

It's true that Chi Ning likes to control others. He hopes that everyone can listen to him.But he also always remembered what his master told him, that everyone has his own choice, and at a certain moment that he didn't know at the time, the three of them would eventually walk on different paths.

He has no way to be responsible for doing things for everyone, nor can he impose what he thinks is good on others.

Chi Ning didn't understand back then, but now he is actually confused.But it looks completely different from him and the second senior brother who look between teenagers and youths, and he is already a senior senior brother who looks like an adult...

Chi Ning thought, maybe this is what the master said, that time has come.

He should respect the elder brother's choice.

The villa they are in now, named Hongfeng, is Xu Tianci's business, and it is aimed at those high-spending customers in Beijing who have money and leisure, but do not have enough power to build a hot spring villa in Tangshan.

By virtue of Chi Ning's name, the Xu family got a large piece of land in Tangshan, not far or near the royal summer resort, and built small buildings like Qionglou Yuyu, drawing springs to dig ponds, Let the natural hot springs on the mountain flow down to create a mini world for guests to soak in hot springs in winter.Of course, when the emperor was in the Summer Resort, the Red Maple Villa could not be opened to the outside world, and could only be rented to the adults who accompanied the emperor.

In different seasons, Hongfeng Villa has different themes, such as enjoying flowers in spring, escaping the heat in summer, and watching rain in autumn... In short, as long as you want, you can have many names, and the patterns of enjoyment are also refurbished from time to time.

Gradually, the reputation of Hongfeng Villa has grown, and many dignitaries will come to try something new,

Jiang Zhiwei has long wanted to come. He guards Nangong all day long. No matter how good a fairyland is, he will get tired of looking at it. On the contrary, it is not as wild as this folk one.

"You are on duty, and you are not allowed to wander here on weekdays if you have nothing to do." Chi Ning saw through what Jiang Zhiwei was up to at a glance.

The three of them were talking when they heard a loud scream resounding through the sky.

It came from the villa next door.

Coincidentally, there is another villa next door to the Red Maple Villa. Because they share a hot spring source, the two villas are very close to each other.Chi Ning frowned, and when he was still hesitating to ask what happened next door, Yuan Jun had already told him: [If I were you, I would take the people from Dongchang to have a look. 】

What else does Chi Ning not understand?

Immediately, the manpower was ordered and ready to go.Well, when Chi Ning comes out to play, he will bring many people with him, so he cherishes his life.

A group of people rushed to the next door.

The villa next door is called Qushui. When Chi Ning saw the name, he was stunned for a moment, feeling as if he had heard it somewhere before.It is hard to say who the Qushui Villa belongs to, but it is also used for business operation, but it is different from the inn-style operation of the Red Maple Villa. Qushui is rented out as a whole, to a family of dignitaries, or to hold some large-scale events.

Now that the event is being held, the special stables of the villa can no longer hold all the horses and vehicles, and there are still many at the door. Chi Ning and his party saw it clearly when they came over.

At the scene was a group of literati, bringing their beautiful wives and relatives, Xu Gui was among them.

It was only then that Chi Ning remembered that Xu Gui had asked him that day that there was a poetry society called Qushui, which was very famous among scholars. He was invited, but hesitated whether to go.

It seems that this is the Qushui Poetry Club.

It was supposed to be a poetry meeting for reciting poems and matching poems, but now there is no romance, only panic and panic are left.

"Jin Yiwei is doing business." As soon as the sign came out, these people present were not only not afraid, but were strangely relieved, at least they didn't have to worry about anyone daring to kill someone in front of Jin Yiwei.

Yes, that scream was accompanied by an obvious case—someone died here.

Chi Ning doesn't have the ambition to be the first Bao Qingtian in Daqi, but he always likes to come to him for some things, Yuan Jun also said that it will be beneficial, and it is even more impossible for him to ignore it.

"Who can tell me what happened?"

In the end, it was Xu Gui who stood up. Others dared not talk to Jin Yiwei and Dongchang, but he was not afraid. As early as the moment he saw Chi Ning appearing, his mind had already settled down.He finally understood what Grandpa had said to him, the moment he saw Father's figure, he had his backbone.

Avoid all evils and eliminate disasters.

The most famous event at the Qushui Poetry Club is the most popular elegant event at the gathering of literati in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, "Qushui Liucup", which is also the origin of the name of this villa and the Poetry Club.

The guests sit on both sides of the Qushui, put down the wine trays upstream, hold the wine glasses or hairpins, and let them go downstream. Whoever stops in front of them will start to pray, write poems, or have fun.All in all, lots of fun.This is a very famous event in Beijing, and everyone yearns for it.

Unexpectedly, on this day, what floated down from the upstream was no longer a wine glass hairpin, but a corpse.

Someone knew the deceased, and he was the legitimate son of Ci minister Wang Lu.

Chi Ning looked solemn after hearing this, but smiled in his heart. It turns out that his admission ticket is here.Once something happened to Wang Lu's son, wouldn't Wang Lu, Fan Jin, Sun Erba, and even Qian Xiaoyu all have contact with him?

It's really Mr. Yuan's blessing.
