After Huang Qiong said these words, the faces of the two people below turned pale. Afraid that the prince would regard him as the chicken that killed the chicken and scared the monkey, the two of them nodded solemnly in unison. Regarding the performance of the two, Huang Qiong smiled slightly: "What I want is not your statement, what I want to see is your actions. I believe that everyone has a sense of shame, and I hope you can understand your shame and then be brave."
"One of you is the Minister of Rites and the other is Yin of Chang'an. Both of you were born in the second rank of Jinshi. When it comes to knowledge, I believe that you are both good. As long as you put your heart on the right path, there will be no problem. You all say that it makes a difference. The drum does not need a heavy hammer, this matter depends on the two of you. I am not a stingy person. If you do a good job, I should be rewarded and commended."
"If you don't do well, then don't blame me for being ruthless. You should have heard of my style of doing things. I think that you have reached your current position, one is a second-grade man, and the other is a third-grade man. It's what I said. The meaning is clear. Remember, don’t do things that you will regret. Don’t do things that touch the bottom line of the court, the bottom line of the few, or endanger the country.”
"Work hard and be an official with heart. This is the real secret to promotion. Don't always think about changing your ways to please others. Use your thoughts on the right path to please others. If you do well, the court will see it. You can also see it. Now I have said what should be said and what should not be said. You can experience it yourself when you go back. After saying so much, I am a little tired, so please kneel down. "
After hearing this, the Lord finally relaxed and let him go. The two hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, then turned to leave. But just when they were about to step out of the gate of Wanchun Hall, Huang Qiong's voice came from behind: "I have thought about it, and it would be better for those monks not to change places for them. The arranger will seize the time and clean up the hall. Change the furniture and let them live in the Huitong Hall."
"As long as they don't take lives, just let them do whatever they want. Don't scare yourself to death if they take action, for fear that it will be difficult to get a lawsuit if someone loses their lives. I clearly tell you that you are overthinking this point. Get rid of it. Monk robes, they are not any better than you. They are all mortals, what are they to be afraid of? It is true that we attach great importance to them, but there must be a degree of restraint in this."
"Attachment does not mean indulgence. Remember, the more intense and fierce the fight between them, the more beneficial it is to the court. So, don't be afraid of internal fights between them. However, this rhythm must be grasped. How will they fight internally? The speed of fighting must be controlled by you. In addition, as I said before, don’t pay attention to their own internal fighting, but if they harass the common people, arrest them one by one."
"Also, the other Tubo princes in the Huitong Hall have been moved out to find other places to live, and the entire Huitong Hall has been given to them. If they can't fight, then let them fight to their full extent. In addition, tell the two great virtues Eminent monk, let them have a good rest tomorrow, and in the afternoon I will listen to their sermons. Five days later, I will meet with the Tibetan princes who have arrived in Chang'an at the Manlu Hall."
After Huang Qiong finished speaking, the two of them turned around quickly and nodded heavily. Seeing Huang Qiong turn his attention back to the mountains of folders on the desk, knowing that they had nothing to do here, the two of them stepped back and left carefully. After the two left, Huang Qiong, whose mind was not on the book at all, put down the pen in his hand and walked out of the desk, walking around in Wanchun Hall for a long time.
He raised his head and saw the two young eunuchs who were waiting cautiously in the palace. After the two left, they hurriedly came in to wait. They remembered something and said, "Have you checked with the doctor about that little eunuch just now? Nothing happened." Right. I will ask him to go to Mrs. Dong and pay fifty thousand dollars, which will be regarded as the soup and medicine fee and compensation I gave him. From now on, just let him stay with me and serve."
When Huang Qiong said this, his tone was extremely kind. These two have never been seen by anyone, not only the senior eunuchs in the palace, no one treats them as human beings. Even those masters who came to Xijing with the emperor's inspection tour, how could any of them regard them as human beings? If the meeting is good or not, give him three slaps first to improve his memory. I have never been respected, and I have never been beaten or scolded less.
, who can be regarded as a low-level eunuch who has experienced the warmth and coldness of the world, couldn't help but be stunned. Since the prince moved into Taiji Palace, although he has never beaten or scolded these eunuchs on weekdays, he has never abused them. But they are also relatively cold, and they never have to wait on them personally. Except in Wanchun Hall, they can't even rely on him. I can't say that I was abusive, but I can't say that I was respectful either.
They always felt that this prince gave them the impression of being a bit repulsive. For people like them, they don't trust them, don't reuse them, and even reject them to some extent. But for these little eunuchs, they have never had any masters in their daily lives, and they rarely think about a wronged companion, and they rarely even speak so kindly.
Huang Qiong's somewhat compensatory approach moved these two people extremely. He hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and said in a choked tone: "On behalf of the third son, I would like to thank the Crown Prince for your concern and reward. I just respected the Crown Prince's instructions and have already seen the doctor. It's nothing serious. The Crown Prince is so busy, so why not?" I'm thinking about this slave, and I really don't know what to say."
Huang Qiong himself was a little stunned when he saw that after he slapped someone out of anger, he just handed them a sweet date and made these little eunuchs so grateful. Then he remembered that in the capital, he had heard of these low-level eunuchs, unless he met a kind-hearted master like Zhuang Fei, or someone who could sense words and emotions and quickly attach himself to a high-status high-level eunuch.
Otherwise, life in the palace would be miserable. Not only the so-called masters and eunuchs who led them were always beaten and scolded. If you encounter that kind of master who doesn't treat them as human beings at all, it is common for them to be beaten, scolded and starved. There were even a few who were beaten to death. If you don't carry it out that year in the palace, how many people will die unjustly? Huang Qiong also knows about the matter of talking nonsense.
Huang Qiong had always disdained the method of punishing young eunuchs by beating and scolding them. He has never beaten or scolded the eunuchs in his house. He Yao himself was a kind-hearted person. Not only did he respect these eunuchs, but he also asked the women to respect these eunuchs and not beat, scold or abuse them. If something goes wrong at home, everyone is here to help.
Every month's monthly rations of money and food are never withheld and are paid in full. At the end of the year, additional rewards will be given. Even if you make a mistake, the most you can do is shut down the woodshed. In Huang Qiong's words, close the door tightly today to get rid of the anger, and it is easy not to even hit the board. Therefore, the eunuchs in Huang Qiong's mansion lived a very comfortable life, much less comfortable than the days in the palace.
Today, seeing these young eunuchs who are not very old, the oldest is only about the same age as himself, Huang Qiong also feels a bit of compassion despite his hardened heart. He gently raised his hand to signal them to get up and then said: "Get up, everyone. As long as you serve the master loyally and have no second thoughts, I will naturally not treat you badly. Remember, if the heart is not sincere, no matter how much you kowtow to the head, it will be useless."
After that, he looked at the sky outside, hesitated and said: "You guys go to Mr. Liu's house and bring her family into the palace in the name of Mrs. Dong. Tell Mrs. Dong that Mr. Liu is not at home these days. . Many Tubo people came to the city again, so Mrs. Liu and her two children were temporarily placed in her courtyard. There will be a banquet tonight, and I will also participate. "
When the two eunuchs heard Huang Qiong's order, they quickly agreed and were about to go do it. But before leaving, Huang Qiong stopped him again: "What kind of panic is this? Go to Gao Huaiyuan and ask him to bring fifty sergeants, hitch a carriage and follow you. Go and say goodbye by yourself." If you don't get picked up, then put yourself in. When you get to Mr. Liu's house, you should have a better attitude and don't put on airs."
"If Mrs. Liu refuses to come, use your own brains to invite people over. In short, people must be invited over for me, but they must not be forced. If this job is done, I will be richly rewarded. If you do It's not good, or I might have offended Mrs. Liu, so be careful when you come back and do whatever you want to do. Go ahead and be careful what you say. Also, this matter must be kept strictly confidential and must not be spread out."
Huang Qiong's words made the two young eunuchs nod cautiously. After the two left, Huang Qiong sighed softly. In Xijing City, so many Tubo people came all at once. These Tubo people are used to being debauched on the plateau, and are also used to the unique rules of survival on the plateau. On the plateau, women are their property just like cattle and horses, and they are also targets of robbery.
Those women, whether married or not, belong to whomever grabs them. Now that they have arrived in the Xijing City of the Qi Dynasty, these Tubo people may not necessarily change some of the things that are inherent in their bones. Although he had given instructions to Chang'an Yin, asking him to strengthen security in Xijing City. If any Tubo people violate the laws of Daqi and harass the people in the city, they will arrest every one they see.
But who can be 100% wary of some things? Especially those Tubo people are wild and untamable, with wild nature exuding in their bones. Who knows what might happen if he sees a Central Plains woman who is much more beautiful than a Tibetan woman? Liu Chang is not at home now and will not be back for half a month at the earliest. A woman with two young children lived in a mixed city in the outer city.
In addition, Mrs. Liu's natural beauty, if she arouses the covetous attention of those Tubo people and causes any trouble, how will she face Liu Chang? Not to mention Liu Chang, even he couldn't pass this test? Bringing them into the palace temporarily is also a way of protecting them. But with Mrs. Liu's character, will she obey her arrangements obediently? If he refuses to come, what should he do?
Thinking of that night, Huang Qiong, who had returned to the desk, took out the pocket he had brought back and stroked it gently, seemingly still recalling that night. I have been busy due to the Tubo incident for a while, and the two of them have not seen each other for ten days. Although Liu Chang was sent out by him, he never had a chance to meet him. Of course, Huang Qiong also knew that Mrs. Liu might not treat him well.
But when I had some free time at this time, I remembered that night again, the fullness and strange tightness in my arms. And that night, every low moan rang in his ears still made him feel extremely ecstatic. Thinking of this, Huang Qiong couldn't help but feel confused and fascinated again. The pocket that I have been holding in my hand has never been put down. Feel the faint body fragrance on it.
After a long time, Huang Qiong put away the pocket in his hand and put it away again. The wretchedness on his face just now disappeared, replaced by a solemn look. Looking at the piles of papers on the desk, Huang Qiong could only shake his head and sigh. His commander-in-chief was away, and the old man would not let him go. Most of these discounts were rushed over eight hundred miles from the capital, and he was not too tired.
