The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 402 Suspicion
Only then did the emperor feel relieved, and his suspicions about King Bei Jing became less.But he was still worried, and told Liu Yu: "You go to the Beijing Palace today and ask Shui Rong to pack up immediately. Don't delay the affairs of the court, or I will punish you severely."

Liu Yu also thought that the water was too quiet during this period of time, he should be made to move, if not, he should whip a few times.Otherwise, he really thought that the emperor was made of mud.

The emperor approved a few more words on Liu Yu's memorial, and then said to Liu Yu: "Take it back and show it to that Jia Ke, I will make him give up his heart. Don't think about how important he is in government affairs." As."

Liu Yu kowtowed to the emperor after receiving the memorial, took his leave and left.

After Liu Yu left, the emperor began to feel melancholy again. Zuodu Censor Tianye was considered loyal to him, so why did he change now.So is it possible for others to betray him too?

The emperor stared at Liu Yuyuan's back with displeasure and became dazed. Liu Yu has always been his confidant and a participant in almost all his strategies.If he also betrayed, then he would have no room to fight back.This must not be allowed to happen.

"Xia Shouzhong." The emperor shouted.

Xia Shouzhong next to him quickly stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Long Live Lord, the slave is here, what do you want?"

"Is there anyone from us in Liu Yu's house?"

Xia Shouzhong was immediately stunned when he heard the emperor's question, who is Liu Yu?That is the confidant of the emperor's confidant. Now that the emperor asks this question, does he have doubts about him?
If even Liu Yu is suspicious, then which of the emperor's subordinates is clean?
"Long Live Lord, there is no one from us in Mr. Liu's house. If Long Live Lord needs it, the servant will arrange it." Although Xia Shouzhong felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, after all, Liu Yu's loyalty to the emperor was clear to him.Even the emperor has him under surveillance now, it's chilling to think about it.Could it be that there are emperor's people beside him?
"Since there is no one in his house, let's arrange a few. The current situation is not good. If someone wants to harm him, we can make an arrangement." The emperor said this sentence in a high-sounding manner, as if it was really for Liu Yu thought the same.

Xia Shouzhong didn't dare to refute, and said repeatedly: "Long live Lord Shengming, why didn't this servant think of it? It seems that without Long live Lord, slave is just a little eunuch who is nothing."

The emperor who said this sentence was full of smiles, this Xia Shouzhong had always been so good at talking by his side, as long as he was around since he was a child, he would have nothing to worry about.

"Okay, don't say these things, you think I don't know, you are just making me happy, you can't do this again in the future." Although the emperor said so, the smile on his face never diminished.

"Long Live Lord, I know I was wrong. How can I hide this little trick of my slave from the eyes of Long Live Lord." Xia Shouzhong said hurriedly.

"I've just joked, let's get down to business. You write the imperial decree of appointment and send it to the Ministry of Punishment in a while. It's best to let this Sun Yan report to the Military Aircraft Department tomorrow. Liu Yu is still a little bit alone. Get him a helper."

After the emperor finished saying this, he couldn't help thinking of Tianye, the censor of Zuodu, if it was the person the emperor hated the most.Jia Ke should be ranked first, and Zuodu Censor Tianye must be second.

After hearing the emperor's words, Xia Shouzhong was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Long Live Lord, do you need to send this imperial decree to the military aircraft, and let them also use printed tickets to draft it."

This has always been the rule of this dynasty. In the past, when there was a study room, the emperor's imperial edict had to be drafted by the ministers of the study room. Later, the Supreme Emperor restricted the emperor's power too much because of the study room.Therefore, the upper study room was withdrawn and changed to the Military Aircraft Department.

At the beginning, the Military Aircraft Department was just the emperor's secretariat, but later the Supreme Emperor abdicated, and the current emperor took over, and the Supreme Emperor gave the Military Aircraft Department the power to draft tickets.It is used to check and balance the emperor, who would have thought that he wanted to take back this right now, and the Supreme Emperor and the emperor did not have the courage anymore.

The emperor was still chatting and laughing, but now when he heard Xia Shouzhong's question, he immediately became gnashing his teeth.Now he has to get Jia Ke's approval even to issue an imperial decree. This emperor is really useless.

But now he can't lose the big with a small one, and now he is patiently waiting for a period of time until he takes back his power, and is looking for these rebellious officials and thieves to settle accounts.

So the emperor endured his anger and said to Xia Shouzhong: "Follow the rules. You write the imperial decree and send it to the military aircraft department, let them draft it, and then go to the Ministry of Punishment to deliver the decree in person."

After the emperor said this, he was not in the mood to joke anymore, so he casually opened a few memorials and looked at them.As a result, it became more and more annoying to watch, and finally I couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so I flicked my robe sleeves and ignored the memorial on the table, and went straight back to the harem.

But he said that the emperor had just left Dongnuan Pavilion, and on the way back to the harem, he became more and more worried about these ministers under his command.

At the same time, he also had doubts about Xia Shouzhong, who was in charge of his secret guard. Xia Shouzhong had too much power. If this person had a different heart, he would not be able to save his life.

After thinking about it, the emperor felt that he should find someone to check and balance Xia Shouzhong. In this way, he would be able to balance the power of secret agents under his command.

The emperor made up his mind when he thought of this, and suddenly said to the little eunuch who was following him, "Xiao Cui, how many years have you been with me?"

When the little eunuch next to him heard the emperor's question, he quickly walked a few steps, came behind the emperor, and said respectfully: "If you go back to the Lord Long Live, the slave has been with the Lord Long Live for more than seven years. When His Majesty was hiding in the residence, The slaves serve the Lord Long Live."

"Well, it's been a long time, and it's time to go out and experience it. I'm planning to let you go to Xia Shouzhong's place for some errands."

The little eunuch was taken aback when he heard the emperor's words, and then he was overjoyed. You must know that each of these eunuchs in the dark guards holds real power.If he really went to Xia Shouzhong's place, he would have made it through.

"Slave, thank you for your promotion. No matter where you go, the slave will always be the dog of the Lord. As long as the Lord calls, the slave will appear immediately."

After listening to him, the emperor nodded loyally, "When you go there, you must be careful, and you can't take Xia Shouzhong lightly, and report to me immediately if you have anything."

Mrs. Cui was so frightened that she was covered in cold sweat after listening to the emperor's words.He originally thought that the emperor wanted to promote him, but now he asked him to monitor Xia Shouzhong.

This eunuch Cui is just one of the smarter eunuchs around the emperor, and he has a thorough understanding of Xia Shouzhong.This person is cautious in front of the emperor, but he has no mercy for those under his command. If something goes wrong, he will be punished and served.

Going to monitor him by myself, if Xia Shouzhong finds out, I'm afraid he will end badly, and even his relatives will be hurt.

The emperor had already seen his concerns, and the two of them strengthened their determination to monitor Xia Shouzhong, and then said: "What are you afraid of? Could it be that you are afraid that Xia Shouzhong will harm you? If so, you can rest assured that with my presence, this slave can still It's against the sky?"

Although the little eunuch Cui got the guarantee from the emperor, he didn't take this sentence seriously in his heart. You must know that compared with Xia Shouzhong, he is not a fart.

But since the emperor had already said this, the little eunuch himself could not hesitate any longer.

"Long live Lord, don't worry, the servant has gone to the dark guard, and he must do his best to serve Long live Lord, and let the dark guard look after him."

The emperor saw that he had understood, so he nodded and said nothing more.

Besides, Liu Yu returned to the Military Aircraft Department with the memorial of the emperor's approval.As soon as he returned to the military plane, he came to Jia Ke.Then he held the memorial in his hand to Jia Ke's eyes and said, "Lord Jia, I have sent this memorial to the emperor for his review. Now the emperor has approved it, please have a look at it."

Jia Ke knew what the content was without looking at it, but she still pretended to take the memorial.Taking a closer look, it turned out that as he expected, the candidate for Minister of Military Aircraft was Sun Yan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment.

Jia Ke immediately said in a strange manner: "Sure enough, Mr. Liu is very capable. He can decide the candidate for the Minister of Military Aircraft with a single word. I am afraid that I am the leader of the military aircraft. I am just a display. If Mr. Liu takes this position, I will abdicate and make way for the virtuous."

Liu Yu wished that Jia Ke would leave immediately, so that he would save himself a lot of trouble, and the emperor would not have to worry day and night.

But he didn't dare to say that on the face, so he said to Jia Ke with a smirk on his face: "Master Jia said, what's the point? The military aircraft department still needs to be controlled by Mr. Jia, and we are just helping Jia. Just deal with things, my lord."

Seeing the smirk on Liu Yu's face, Jia Ke smiled, not sure if it was right, and finally read the emperor's reply, and then said: "Since the emperor has made a decision, then bring the imperial decree. I'll look at it again, No problem, our military aircraft department can also use the seal."

As soon as Liu Yu heard it, he immediately realized that the emperor's imperial decree, if it does not have the consent of the Military Aircraft Department, it cannot be called an imperial decree, it can only be called an edict.

Liu Yu hurriedly remedied it: "The emperor hasn't written the imperial decree yet, so I'll go and have a look at it right now. Then I'll show it to Master Jia."

As soon as Liu Yu finished speaking, he didn't hear anyone outside the Military Aircraft Department, "Master Liu, you left in a hurry just now. You left in a hurry before I wrote the imperial decree. Isn't the emperor afraid that you will make a mistake? Let me personally deliver the imperial decree to you."

As he spoke, the man lifted the curtain and entered the military aircraft department.

Everyone saw that it turned out to be Xia Shouzhong, the emperor's personal eunuch and the head of the Six Palaces.

Jia Ke watched Xia Shouzhong come in and burst out laughing, the two cooperated really well.

Xia Shouzhong held the imperial decree and entered the Military Aircraft Department, first came to Jia Ke, and said respectfully: "Master Jia, this is the imperial edict sent to you by the Emperor, and the Emperor wants the Military Aircraft Department to draw up the ticket quickly."

Jia Ke stood up with a smile on his face, took the imperial edict, opened it and looked carefully, it was indeed an edict to promote Sun Yan, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, to Minister of Military Affairs.

There was nothing to say about this, and he handed the imperial edict directly to the other two military ministers, "You two also take a look, if there is nothing wrong, use the seal."

Old Meng Ming first came over and took a look at the imperial decree, and found that there was nothing wrong with it.Then he nodded, "Master Jia's decree is nothing to do with it. It's up to Mr. Jia to decide how to decide."
