The Heavens: Falling Ink From Douluo

Chapter 572
"A saint is a capable person."

Inside Daming Palace.

The Supreme Emperor looked at the snow falling outside the door.

On the table behind him was an urgent report from the Zhen family.

Although he has the appearance of a real dragon in his twilight years, his eyebrows and eyes are open and closed, but he still shows his majesty.

No one knew what the emperor was thinking at this moment.

Even trying to figure it out is done cautiously.

Maybe……

"It's old..."

The Supreme Emperor, wearing a black and gold cloak, walked to the door of the Daming Palace, raised his hand, and caught a snowflake in the complete silence. He stared at the snowflake for three or four seconds before the snowflake gradually melted into his palm. , the feeling of powerlessness came to my heart again: "Shou Zhong?"

"The servant is here."

On the side, Xia Shouzhong, who was the eunuch of the Sixth Palace at the time, quickly knelt forward, his waist bent at 65 degrees, his eyebrows downcast and without any sharpness.

"What do you think about the Zhen family?"

The Supreme Emperor threw over a proposition.

Xia Shouzhong's shoulders shook in fear, and he said harshly: "Taizu once established a rule that the harem and eunuchs are not allowed to discuss the government's affairs arbitrarily, let alone interfere with it!"

"You bastard."

The Supreme Emperor smiled and cursed, lightly kicked Xia Shouzhong's calf, and his tone was full of determination: "Just say what you say, the Zhen family just produced Zhen Yingjia, the president of Jinling Provincial Tiren Academy, I The question is about the Zhen family, and what does it have to do with politics?"

understood.

The Zhen family is the Zhen family.

Zhen Yingjia is Zhen Yingjia.

Your Majesty, you know how to play.

Xia Shouzhong flattered in his heart and did not dare to say anything ambiguous. Although non-stick pans were the way to survive in this palace, if they were too non-stick, they would be useless!

People must always have a stand.

The position can be flexible, but it cannot be without it.

Therefore, seeing that the Supreme Emperor really wanted to hear the truth, he hurriedly bowed and stacked his resistance first, then spoke and said thoughtfully: "I have been with you since I was a child, and I also went to the south of the Yangtze River with you to meet the Zhen family. However, , it is just a superficial observation and cannot be penetrated, so I will venture to say it bluntly here - Mr. Yu, the Zhen family must have ignored the country's favor. They knew the imperial order, but they still dared to sell private salt. They knew the law and broke the law. They should be punished with a higher level. But such evil deeds have been committed by nobles of all ages. Some have taken human life seriously, some have issued loan sharks, and some have enriched their own pockets and become corrupt. Compared with these major things that cost people's lives, although the Zhen family is not clean, But it's not to the point where I have no choice but to give up. Speaking of personal matters, the old lady is kind and kind. She treats you like her own son. When you travel to the south of the Yangtze River, there is no time when you don't lose everything and do your best. Therefore, it is the servant who dares to speak out. I can’t figure out this relationship that is getting messier and messier!”

The voice has fallen.

Light snow is still falling.

The Supreme Emperor squinted his eyes and pondered for a long time.

A full hour and three quarters passed.

Then he spoke, breaking the heart-stopping silence: "I... I've been entertained by the Zhen family all over the Yangtze River. Every time, I lost everything, but I was able to accumulate wealth very quickly, maybe because of this I didn't know about this private salt business until today. Looking back at the past, I have mixed feelings, which reminds me of the words of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty - all parties are guilty, and I am the one to blame!"

Cold sweat suddenly broke out on Xia Shouzhong's forehead.

Those three moments of waiting were not as scary as this moment.

He claims to be uneducated, but he is not really uneducated.

what is this?
This is such a template for the crime!
What do you want to do, old man?Should I answer it or not?

Let’s go on, the survival rate is slim.

If you don't continue talking, you don't have the eyesight to see.

what?

The emperor is introspecting himself.

Could it be that you, a personal eunuch, have no more responsibilities?
If you don't have it, you have to have it!
The pot must be shared!
However, Xia Shouzhong was on tenterhooks, but the Supreme Emperor had no intention of embarrassing Xia Shouzhong, and his emotion was just emotion. Even the emperor with a stone heart would show his fragile side at some point.

Just like the unprecedented First Emperor.

His vulnerable side is his mother.

However, it was not the mother who later rejected him, but the Zhao Ji who had endured humiliation and heavy burdens in Zhao country and depended on him in prison.

However, the emperor will not be immersed in pain.

Things may change, but this person will still live.

Less than a second after he finished speaking, the aging Emperor put away his fragile side, covered up the light in his eyes that seemed to be reflecting back on the light, and said in a meaningful tone that made people think: "Shou Zhong, today's saints are still He is considered a capable person, but the Zhen family ended up like this because of my fault. How can they bear to let their daughter enter the palace? Let's give this Mr. Lin the status of a concubine. The boy from the Wang family is good, and Enhou's boy has been idle for too long. It's a pity. Since he is the master of the world, he must dare to employ people. The Jiedushi of the Beijing Camp is vacant all year round, and military affairs must not be taken lightly... Later you will Go to the empress. She should be in charge of the affairs of the harem. However, she should abide by her duties as a woman and never enjoy the saint's favor because of the saint's pity. That's what the Empress Dowager said. do you understand?"

"His Majesty!"

Xia Shouzhong cried bitterly.

He has followed the Supreme Emperor in front of him all his life, how could he not understand?

Today's Holy Emperor is considered a capable person - I recognize your son's strength; the Zhen family has suffered such a fate because of me - I already know that I was wrong, please don't hold on to your son; keep a concubine. The identity is given to Mr. Lin - I admit defeat, but I will give the Zhen family a way out, which is the condition for allowing the Zhen family to seek refuge with you; the boy from the Wang family and the Enhou boy are good - Wang Ziteng and Jia She can be used by you. , I won’t help you, but I won’t be a stumbling block either. How many people you can take away from the four princes and eight princes depends on your own ability; the Jiedushi of the Beijing camp is vacant all year round - there are a hundred thousand troops in the Beijing camp. I'll give it to you. It's up to you to decide who is in charge. It doesn't matter who replaces you. The empress should be in charge of major affairs in the harem - hand over the power of the harem and take good care of the eunuchs and maids. Internal affairs departments such as the Chief of Ceremonies, the Inner Palace Supervisor, and the Royal Supervisor give real power to the queen. Anyway, the emperor and the queen are a family. It makes no difference whether these positions are assigned to the queen's people or to the emperor's people. Let the young couple themselves Just go and discuss it.

This is about delegating power!

I also want to drive him away!
Xia Shouzhong didn't expect that his career would come to an end like this.

In panic, I cried sincerely.

Not crying for power.

But he cried because his life was not guaranteed.

In this palace, if you don't have power, your life will be worse than that of a dog!
Not to mention that he is also the eunuch of the Sixth Palace.

I don’t even know who I have offended.

However, Xia Shouzhong was thinking too much. The Supreme Emperor had no intention of killing the donkey. He glanced at Xia Shouzhong who was crying with runny nose in disgust, and was too lazy to tease him. He waved his hand and said bluntly: "The saint is still young. Please note—— If you listen to both, you will be enlightened and if you listen to others, you will be dark. After you go to the queen's side, you can go to the saint's side to be on duty."

Xia Shouzhong nodded tearfully, his nose still running, and he could tell that he was really moved: "If this slave leaves, what will you do?"

"If you are dead, am I still alive?"

The Supreme Emperor rolled his eyes, raised his foot and kicked Xia Shouzhong's butt: "Gungun, you old guy, can you still have the nimbleness of those young and strong little eunuchs?"

Xia Shouzhong left crying and laughing.

This was a way of survival thrown to him by the Supreme Emperor.

It was also a change in the pattern of the Later Han Dynasty.
