Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 191 Shu Liang

Chapter 191 Shu Liang
This is not a trivial matter, for a while, Cheng Jing didn't dare to speak.

After pondering for a long time, Cheng Jingfang said.

"My lord, among the eunuchs who were promoted a few days ago, there was a man named Shu Liang, do you still remember?"

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said.

"Of course I remember that he did a lot of hard work to protect the mother, concubine and queen at the court meeting that day."

Cheng Jing said, "Exactly."

"The matter of the salary-hungry secretary was later discussed by the minister with Shu Liang."

"It's only now that I know that, in addition to changing the charcoal fire in the Changchun Palace according to the orders of the ministers, he also instructed the eunuchs below to deliberately treat the people in the Changchun Palace coldly with Empress Duanjing's order to save the Six Palaces. .”

"That day, the eldest maid of the Changchun Palace went there in person. She was usually treated very politely in every prison, but she was humiliated that time. After returning to the palace, she was so angry that she added fuel and jealousy to Concubine Zhou. The matter of Kunning Palace."

"From the minister's point of view, the admiral of the East Factory needs to be scheming, discerning, and know how to do it. Shu Liang is just right."

Zhu Qiyu was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that there was such an inside story.

If this is the case, Shu Liang can try it out in the East Factory.

But now that Shu Liang is the Empress Dowager Wu's side, he also wants to ask her opinion.

The next day, after Zhu Qiyu got off the morning court, he went to Jingyang Palace.

Regarding his idea of ​​transferring Shu Liang away, Wu expressed his composure.

"People in the harem, if you want to call, you can just call. Aijia has its own staff, so you don't have to worry."

So when Zhu Qiyu returned to Qianqing Palace, there was an extra [-]-year-old eunuch by his side.

…………

Like most eunuchs, Shu Liang was from a poor family and was sent to the palace since childhood.

According to the usual practice, every servant who enters the palace must first worship a godfather, and Shu Liang is no exception.

His godfather was a sweeping eunuch named Zhang Ping, who was the Zhidian Supervisor at that time.

Life in the palace is not easy, you must know how to read people's eyes, but also be patient and flattering, so as not to be bullied.

No one taught these things, but after seeing them a lot, Shu Liang gradually learned them.

Even, because he knew how to observe words and expressions, he flattered his godfather's godfather's godfather, an accompanying eunuch beside Empress Dowager Zhang, and was sent to study in the inner school.

After he came out of the inner study, he became one of the few eunuchs who could read and write.

He was quickly promoted and became the head of the internal official prison, with a bright future.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. Not long after, the Empress Dowager Zhang collapsed.

His godfather's godfather's godfather, because he was ordered by the Empress Dowager Zhang to punish Wang Zhen with a prison stick, he has no mercy.

So he was found an excuse and was killed.

Of course, Wang Zhen still didn't bother to deal with a small shrimp like him.

But some of Wang Zhen's subordinates coveted his position.

So soon, he was sent to the Salary Department and became the deputy director.

The Xixin Department is in the imperial city, but not in the palace city. The charcoal fire is mined directly from the coal mountain, and there is no need to purchase it. It can be regarded as a remote yamen with no oil and water.

However, this was common among eunuchs. Although he was very disappointed at the time, Shu Liang quickly adjusted his mood and worked diligently.

He only hoped that after a few years, Wang Gonggong forgot about his godfather's godfather's godfather who offended him, maybe he still has a chance to be promoted.

So after five years, the original Si Zheng was old, and he was promoted to be the new Si Zheng.

Before he could find a chance to build a relationship, Wang Gonggong went with the Supreme Emperor himself.

Then, the army was defeated and the Supreme Emperor was captured. Shu Liang was secretly happy, but also a little disappointed.

Because the occurrence of such a major event means that the structure of the inner court will be reshuffled.

This level of reshuffle is directly related to the inner court bosses such as the palm print eunuchs, and has nothing to do with him.

However, no matter which family is superior, they will definitely reuse their own people first.

Just like when the Empress Dowager Zhang died, Wang Zhen unscrupulously deployed his own people.

An eunuch like him who has no backing and works in a remote salary-saving department is destined to be unable to drink soup.

If it weren't for the lack of oil and water in the Xinxin Division, Shu Liang even felt that his position might not be able to be kept.

But fate is so magical.

Suddenly one day, Shu Liang saw a person.

His instructor when he was studying in the inner study, Cheng Jing, the chief eunuch of Prince Tan's Mansion.

A long time ago, he had a good relationship with this instructor.

Because every servant who graduated from the inner study had to have an instructor's comment before he could graduate, otherwise he would drop out.

But since Cheng Jing was transferred to Prince Yi's mansion, they had no contact with each other.

Cheng Jing's sudden visit surprised Shu Liang.

Although he has been in the Xixin Division for several years, he has also heard a lot of things. He knows that after Sheng Jia was captured, it was Prince Yi who was in charge of the country.

So he was keenly aware that this might be his chance to stand up.

Therefore, when Cheng Jing told him that he hoped that he would be able to send the best carrot charcoal to Changchun Palace in the past two days.

He agreed almost without hesitation!
Not only that, after Cheng Jing left, he immediately used money to inquire about the latest news carefully.

The result surprised him.

There are rumors in the inner court that the elders of the outer court want to make King Yi the new king.

He was ruthless, and spent a lot of money, only to learn from the mouths of two little maids from the Compassionate Ning Palace.

The queen mother has had a lot of conflicts with the king these days, and also sent many new maids to the Wu family's palace, the mother and concubine of the king.

Although there is no more news, it is obvious that at such a critical time, Prince Yi will not care about the charcoal fire in the harem for no reason.

So, Shu Liang already had a bold guess in his mind.

He decided to take a gamble!
So he not only stopped the charcoal fire in Changchun Palace according to Cheng Jing's words, but also sent all the best red radish charcoal to Jingyang Palace.

When the grand lady of the Changchun Palace came to fetch the charcoal fire, she deliberately made her subordinates ridicule her.

What happened later made Shu Liang feel a shock.

But when all the dust settled, he knew that he had won the bet!
Soon, King Tan ascended the throne and became the new emperor.

He, Wang Cheng, Zhang Yong and several other people who had a good relationship with Cheng Jing before immediately became the hottest figures in the inner court.

From the Sizheng of the Xixin Division, he became the eunuch of the Du Zhijian, and was transferred to serve by the Empress Dowager Wu.

This is an opportunity for him to change his destiny, so he must firmly grasp it and do things with all his heart.

After staying in the Xixin Department for so many years, Shu Liang didn't do anything else, but he made good friends with Wang Zhen, the eunuch and eunuch, and found out clearly.

Originally, I wanted to look for opportunities to see if there was any relationship among them.

Unexpectedly, it came in handy at this time. After cooperating with the empress dowager to kill a group of Wang Zhen's disciples and grandchildren, Shu Liang finally felt that his position was stable.

But what he didn't expect was that suddenly today, he was taken from Jingyang Palace to Qianqing Palace by the emperor.

Although he was promoted by the emperor, to be honest, he has never really met the emperor.

What's more, he didn't know if he had committed something. He wanted to ask Manager Cheng along the way, but Manager Cheng smiled at his winks and refused to say anything.

Feeling apprehensive in his heart, when he arrived at Qianqing Palace, Shu Liang immediately fell to his knees and said.

"Slave Shu Liang, I have seen the emperor."
