Chapter 282 Undercover ([-])

Huang Jin didn't care about the coldness of his feet, so he stood up abruptly, just stood barefoot on the cold floor tiles, gritted his teeth, and repeated the question again: "Did you really go to the Leopard Room?"

Chen Hong: "Godfather, Sun Dan has indeed gone to the Leopard Room."

Huang Jin just took a step forward with bare feet, walked straight in front of Chen Hong, and asked bitterly, "Chen Hong, do you know who is in the Leopard Room?"

Chen Hong hurriedly stood up: "As far as godfather is concerned, the Leopard House was the place where the late emperor was in charge of government. Now, there is no one to take care of it, and there is not a trace of people in sight."

Huang Jin said coldly: "Today, the Empress came to Xiyuan and lived in the Leopard Room. In this way, Sun Dan is going to see Empress Chen."

Chen Hong: "Godfather, my son can't enter the Leopard Room, and there are people guarding that place, so of course my son doesn't know who is inside?"

Huang Jin nodded, with a gloomy face, and said, "So, Sun Dan is going to see Empress Chen. Chen Hong, let me ask you, why did Empress Chen summon Sun Dan?"

Chen Hong: "Godfather is naturally like a mirror in his heart, so why did he come to ask his son. In fact, you old man should have already guessed, then Empress Chen must want to win over Sun Dan."

"That's right, that's what I think. Your Majesty loves Concubine Zhang, and Empress Chen is about to lose power. She is anxious and wants to ask someone for help. Do you think Sun Dan will join Empress Chen's sect?"

Chen Hong squeezed out a smile, and said: "As for godfather, if Sun Dan went to say a few words and left, he would not have joined Chen Houmen. But the fact now is that Sun Dan went to the Leopard Room I stayed for an entire afternoon, and I was accompanied by Eunuch Bi Yun and Eunuch Bi. Everyone in the palace knew that Eunuch Bi was now a member of Empress Chen. From this point of view, Sun Dan has definitely voted for Empress Chen and participated in the harem dispute gone."

"It should be like this." Huang Jin walked slowly to the window, sat on the kang, hung a pair of bare feet in the air, stared blankly at the snow scene outside the window, and murmured: "This is a bit troublesome, Sun Dan It's just a monkey grandson, he's a smart monkey, and he's full of bad water. With him making up his mind, our family and Concubine Zhang will have a headache. Although the concubine and empress have also won over Zhang Cong, a famous person, he can't do whatever he wants. Forbidden to enter and leave the palace, we can't let him give advice to our family at any time. Besides, he is arrogant and arrogant, and he is not easy to get along with. He is a famous person with eyes that grow to the top of his head. He definitely looks down on our family. Our family will not suffer that kind of anger."

Chen Hong stepped forward hurriedly, knelt on the ground with one knee, picked up Huang Jin's sock on the kang head and carefully put it on for him.

He knew everything in his heart, and he already knew that he had already been involved in the cruel struggle in the harem.

However, Chen Hong was not afraid in his heart. Not only was he not afraid, but he also had a strong expectation.As an ordinary eunuch in the harem, it is impossible to survive through seniority like civil servants.And the palace has always been a place full of intrigues and tricks. If you want to soar into the sky, you have to follow the right master.Like Huang Jin, it is because of following Jinshang that he is under one person and above ten thousand people.Today, the emperor is in his prime, and if nothing happens, Huang Jin's favor will last for decades.Don't think about it on the emperor's side, he can only find a way with the concubines.

Chen Hong has a stubborn personality, but he is not an idiot. He only borrowed money from Huang Jin before. It was because he thought of his mother's eyes and cared about him, so he did something unreasonable and stupid.

At this moment, when he heard Huang Jin unabashedly talking about the battles in the inner palace in front of him, Chen Hong's eyes lit up, as if he saw a golden road.Today, Huang Jin and Concubine Zhang are allies.Even if he cast himself under Huang Jin's family, he was just a small character.The camps of Sun Dan, Bi Yun and Chen Hou are different.Sun Dan is a foreign minister, while Bi Yun is old and frail. If Empress Chen gains power, he is still young and has plenty of opportunities to rise to power.

Thinking of this, Chen Hong's heart became hot, and he couldn't help feeling grateful to Sun Dan.

In fact, in the real history, Chen Hong later became the chief eunuch of Bingbi, Dongchang Changgong, and the second person in Da Neizhong.He has a violent personality and is particularly ruthless in beating people. He is an iron bowl character.Such a person has a firm personality and a strong desire for fame. Once he is given a chance to choose a path that suits him, he will not let go, nor will he retreat halfway.

After putting on the socks, Huang Jin finally withdrew her dazed eyes from the window and landed on Chen Hong: "You are very good, not bad. You have eyesight, courage, and know how to do things. Our family really lacks someone like you." character."

Why didn't Chen Hong know that Huang Jin had taken a fancy to him, pretended to be flattered, and knelt on the ground suddenly: "My son is willing to die for his godfather!"

Chen Hong knelt in front of Huang Jin, only one foot away from Huang Jin's legs, and the room was quite warm.The faint smell of urine on Huang Jin's body permeated all the way, making Chen Hong feel sick and want to vomit.

He cursed secretly in his heart: old ass bug, urine swim bladder, one day my master will twist your head off and throw it in a latrine for three years.

Although Huang Jin felt that Chen Hong should be rewarded, he still wanted to investigate whether the godson in front of him had any real skills.If you have real skills, you will naturally use them to the fullest.If he is also a humble crowd who only knows how to flirt, just reward him with two taels of silver and get rid of it.

Huang Jin reached out and grabbed a memorial from the small table on the kang and threw it in front of Chen Hong: "Look at it, and then approve it for me."

Chen Hong was shocked, and held up the memorial tremblingly: "Godfather, my son is just a low-quality servant, and my son dare not look at such important military and state affairs."

Huang Jin gave him a sideways glance: "You can just watch if our family tells you to. What are you doing with so much nonsense?"

Only then did Chen Hong concentrate on looking at the memorial.

This memorial was written by the General Soldier of Jiliao, to the effect that it is the midwinter now, many border soldiers suffered from chilblain after stroke, and many fell ill in bed due to cold, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers declined greatly.Also ask the imperial court to send a doctor and allocate medicinal materials.

There is also a list of medicinal materials at the back of the memorial. There are hundreds of them.From precious ginseng antler to bupleurum sichuan shellfish, and more.

The cabinet's proposal is very simple, just one sentence: the Ministry of Households allocates funds, and the Ministry of Industry purchases.

Chen Hong made a rough calculation in his mind, if he fully complied with the request of the Chief of Ji Liao, the cost would be a huge sum.Not to mention that there is not so much money in the treasury, and the Ministry of Industry alone needs to use a lot of manpower and material resources to purchase.

Chen Hong thought for a while, and said, "Godfather, if the cabinet's proposal is approved, I'm afraid there will be big troubles, not to mention huge expenses, I'm afraid that once this opening is opened, it will become a routine. That's a lot of overhead."

Huang Jin said: "Why doesn't our family know about this, but what Chief Soldier Ji Liao said is the truth, if you don't ask, I'm afraid you will be impeached by the imperial envoy. Our family is also in a difficult situation, take a look, and then propose you the opinion of."

Chen Hong smiled wryly in his heart: "I can't think of a good way to deal with the matter between you senior officials. If I really have a way, I won't be able to be this little eunuch anymore.

Chen Hong also knew that if he wanted to get into Huang Jin's eunuch system smoothly, he had to pass this hurdle.

In the midst of this dilemma, he suddenly felt a shock in his heart, remembering what Sun Dan said when he was teaching medical knowledge this morning.

Now, wouldn't it be enough to simply transfer his words here?
Chen Hong: "Godfather, from my son's point of view, this matter is not difficult to deal with. Look at this list, there are everything from ginseng to plantain. The varieties are miscellaneous, and some medicinal materials are also used by the soldiers a lot. , On the contrary, it is cheaper for the officers. Seeing so many medicinal materials, it is inevitable that no one will make small calculations. Besides, the soldiers in the army are all young and middle-aged, and there are no serious illnesses on weekdays. Therefore, in the eyes of the son, left and right are nothing more than minor ailments such as trauma and cold. If medicines are really needed, left and right are nothing but golden sore medicine and Bupleurum. In this way, the army's medicines It is entirely possible for the imperial court to provide the corresponding patent medicines in a unified manner. In this way, only a small amount of money can be used to supply the needs of the border troops."

Huang Jin patted his thigh: "Here, this is a good idea. It will save a lot of expenses for the court, and it won't hurt the hearts of the border soldiers. Chen Hong, thank you for coming up with such a good idea. That's what it means Criticize it."

"Yes, godfather." Knowing that this test has passed, Chen Hong gathered himself together, and came to the case with the memorial in his hand, dipped it in cinnabar, and wrote down the instructions in standard pavilion style.

In fact, Chen Hong's idea came from Sun Dan.When talking about medicine during the day, Sun Dan said a word: The biggest problem with traditional Chinese medicine is that there is no unified standard, and the medicine is prescribed according to the person, and the medicine is prescribed according to the person.Different doctors prescribe different medicines.

The biggest advantage of traditional Chinese medicine is that it is effective in treating difficult and miscellaneous diseases, but sometimes it still carries the color of superstition handed down from ancient witch doctors.For example, some people want to use sugarcane after frost as a primer for medicine, and some people use a pair of male and female crickets from the day of the autumn solstice, and they have to be the original pair. This is incomprehensible.

In fact, people in the world eat whole grains, and the diseases are not so complicated.Places like the army where a large number of people gather can be made into medicines according to uniform standards.

Seeing Chen Hong's good handwriting, Huang Jin nodded, and said in his heart: "Sure enough, the people who came out of Neishutang are really extraordinary. It's a pity that our family didn't have the good fortune to study there when we were young, otherwise, how could we get to the present situation?" embarrassment."

Huang Jin: "Yes, yes, your idea is very good."

Complacent, Chen Hong said, "Actually, this idea comes from Sun Dan, and the students only came up with this solution after hearing him talk about it once in class."

"Sun Dan..." Huang Jin had to admit that this guy is very talented, and he is a first-class person today: "What has he taught you today?"

Chen Hong put down his pen: "Returning to my godfather, I learned a lesson of "Interpersonal Relations" and a lesson of "Lao Tzu."

"What is "Interpersonal Relations"? What kind of mystery is this Sun Dan playing... What is the next lesson?"

"As for godfather, the next class is "Grassroots Secretarial Work"."

"Then... tell our family about the study of human relations first..." Huang Jin gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "Stones from other mountains can be used to make jade, and our family should also listen to Sun Jingyuan's class."
