Zhang Xu first collapsed to the ground, and then quickly knelt down again, thinking about how to regain His Majesty's favor.
Zhang Xu is a eunuch.
All the rights of eunuchs come from the emperor.
Once the emperor's support was gone and the eunuchs themselves did not control the army, it would be easy to deal with the eunuchs. Even if the eunuch became extremely powerful for a short period of time, he was once an emperor and a courtier, and would disappear when the emperor changed.
Not long after, the sound of rapid footsteps was heard.
Gao Yuan, the chief horse supervisor, walked in.
Gao Yuan is older, already in his forties, and his temples are gray and frosty. When he walked, his back was slightly stooped. Gao Yuan is not as fat as other eunuchs. Instead, he is very thin and lean.
His eyes radiated a hawk-like light that no one dared to underestimate.
Gao Yuan was just an ordinary eunuch in the palace earlier. When he arrived in Luoyang, because of his identity as an old man in Qiandi, he got the opportunity to climb up the ladder step by step, and finally got his current official position.
Gao Yuan entered the hall and immediately noticed Zhang Xu kneeling on the ground. He raised his brows and thought deeply in his heart.
Even so, Gao Yuan's face did not reveal anything. After kneeling on the ground, he stuck out his butt and said loudly: "Slave Gao Yuan, pay homage to Your Majesty."
Zhao Shan ordered: "Pingsheng!"
After Gao Yuan stood up, he stood with his back slightly arched, his eyes lowered and his eyebrows lowered, showing a humble attitude.
Zhao Shan continued: "Gao Yuan, I remember that you were an old man in the palace. Back then, you were in charge of the palace's chores, mainly external procurement, right?"
Gao Yuan's eyes were red and he choked up: "Your Majesty is busy with everything, but he still remembers what happened to the old slave back then. The old slave was so excited. At that time, your Majesty was upright, ambitious, and did not join in with others. Now, your Majesty is already an eternal sage. .”
Zhao Shan said: "Who am I, the eternal sage? Even Su Wei, the governor of Jingzhou who I arranged, was assassinated by the White Lotus Sect. Now I don't know the situation, as if I am blind."
Zhang Xu's heart trembled when he heard this.
Angry!
His Majesty the Emperor is angry!
This time I got into big trouble. If I had known earlier, I should have been more conscientious and kept an eye on the actions of the White Lotus Sect. Unexpectedly, something like Su Wei would happen.
After surviving this disaster, I will deal with Dongchang Fanzi who is responsible for Jingzhou affairs severely when I return.
Gao Yuan's heart was filled with excitement.
Something went wrong in the East Factory.
Zhang Xu knelt on the ground again.
The emperor even called him here.
Although Gao Yuan didn't have the support of his second brother, and he said goodbye to his days of charging into battle early, his mind was still online. Zhang Xu has been a head eunuch in recent years, and he has become a little distracted, but Gao Yuan is conscientious.
All this time, Gao Yuan never went beyond the limits and managed the Royal Horse Supervisor conscientiously.
After Gao Yuan figured it out, he said without hesitation: "I have no ability, but I am loyal. Anyone who dares to do harm to Your Majesty, I will kill first."
Zhao Shan nodded and said: "I asked you to supervise Dongchang and find out the murder of Su Wei in Jingzhou and the White Lotus Sect in Jingzhou. Can you do it?"
"able!"
Gao Yuan answered without hesitation.
Zhang Xu turned his head slightly and looked at Gao Yuan in an instant, his eyes as fierce as a wolf.
Dongchang expanded the scope of supervision to include Liangzhou and further penetrated Yangzhou. This was when Zhang Xu was proud of his success. In the blink of an eye, Dongchang's rights were deprived.
Zhang Xu lost Dongchang's power and was left with only the authority in the palace. This was a huge blow.
Gao Yuan noticed Zhang Xu's fierce eyes, without any hint of cowardice, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I promise to complete the task and investigate the White Lotus Sect's affairs in Jingzhou."
Zhao Shan waved his hand and said: "Go ahead, I'll wait for your news."
"As you command!"
Gao Yuan kowtowed and bowed before respectfully retreating.
After Gao Yuan retreated, Zhao Shan's eyes fell on Zhang Xu again, waving his hands and saying: "Get out of here and reflect on it."
"Slave takes orders!"
Zhang Xu was unwilling and had no choice but to bow honestly and leave.
Zhao Shan sat in the main hall, thinking about what to say to Su Yunxi.
The impact of Su Wei's murder was too great.
The Su family was in trouble that year. Without Su Wei, the eldest brother, to support the family, the situation of the Su family would be very difficult, and Su Yunxi's life would also be very difficult. To put it bluntly, Su Yunxi was brought up by Su Wei, and he was like an elder brother like a father.
Now Su Wei is dead.
well……
Zhao Shan sighed in his heart, stood up after sitting for a long time, and strode towards Su Yunxi's bedroom.
Su Yunxi was looking at the account books in the palace.
He became Zhao Shan's concubine. Although he entered the palace as a concubine, he could still do business normally. Zhao Shan did not stop this, but allowed Su Yunxi to operate. Su Yunxi did not get involved in the business of food, wine, ironware, cloth, etc. He only engaged in rouge and gouache.
These businesses do not involve people's livelihood.
It doesn't affect Zhao Shan either.
When Su Yunxi was looking through the account book, there was a sound of footsteps, and the palace maid hurried in and reported: "Your Majesty, your Majesty is here, get ready to pick him up."
"No need, I'm here."
Before Zhao Shanren arrived, the voice had already come in first.
Zhao Shan entered the palace, looked at Su Yunxi who was looking through the account books, and asked, "What is Yunxi busy with?"
Su Yunxi looked happy and replied: "Reporting to your majesty, I am counting the ledgers compiled last month. Last month's results were good, and I made a thousand taels of silver. From the beginning of losses, to the beginning of profits, and now now With a monthly income of one thousand taels of silver, I am sure that I can earn more."
Zhao Shan nodded and said: "You are good at business, and you will definitely have no problem making money. I believe in you."
Su Yunxi has always been good at entertaining people.
Seeing that Zhao Shan had suddenly arrived and that something seemed wrong with Zhao Shan's situation, Su Yunxi blinked and asked, "Your Majesty, is there something wrong when you come today?"
Zhao Shan nodded and said, "There is indeed something going on."
Su Yunxi's heart skipped a beat and asked, "Your Majesty, what happened?"
Zhao Shan said: "Yunxi, you must be mentally prepared."
Su Yunxi was even more uncertain and asked tentatively: "Is it possible that I was restless after entering the palace and was running a business of rouge and gouache outside? The minister of Yushitai in the court wanted to impeach my concubine and let His Majesty Is it difficult to handle? If so, I can just stop doing business."
Zhao Shan shook his head.
For a moment, I didn't know how to say it.
Su Yunxi became nervous and asked, "Your Majesty, what is going on? It's not this or that. Could it be that something happened to my eldest brother?"
Zhao Shan sighed: "My uncle was killed by the White Lotus Sect because he resisted the White Lotus Sect's mission in Jingzhou."
boom! !
There seemed to be thunder in Su Yunxi's mind, and he was completely confused.
For a moment, Su Yunxi was in a state of confusion. He was so angry that he rolled his eyes and passed out.
After a long while, Su Yunxi woke up leisurely.
Big tears ran down her cheeks, Su Yunxi's eyes turned red, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Your Majesty, I want to avenge my eldest brother!"
