Chapter 193 lingering rhyme

In the evening, Ji Shen returned from hunting. Sure enough, he waved back the crowd and immediately summoned Nie Yuansheng, who only took a nap.

The main hall was burning with melting animal charcoal, the tent on all sides drooped, and a wisp of selendor poured out in the furnace. Ji Shen threw the whip that he forgot to hand over to the little servant when he disembarked the horse on the bed. He greeted Nie Yuansheng to sit nearby and asked first, "How are you in good spirits now?"

As he spoke, I looked at his face a few times and saw that although he was still a little virtual, his spirit was much stronger than in the morning. Before Nie Yuansheng's answer, he nodded and said, "Today, I hunted a deer with my own hands, and I ordered the kitchen to do it on the way. You can stay and use some with me tonight."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Nie Yuansheng arched his hand with a smile and paused to get straight to the point, "Your Majesty said in the morning that something seemed to have happened these two days?"

"I just want to talk to you about this." Ji Shen sneered and said, "Did you leak the news before you hunted the golden fox?"

Nie Yuansheng looked embarrassed and smiled and said, "If others ask, I will definitely cover up my face, but your majesty and the former minister can only tell the truth - first of all, the fox is cunning, and the golden fox is particularly cunning. At that time, I made up my mind to catch it alive. Although this Xiji Mountain has come down many times, it is only 50% sure. If you tell others in advance, it will first reach your majesty's ears. Once I lose my hand, I will be ashamed, and I can't afford to disappoint you; secondly, ha, I am also a little selfish. This golden fox single minister keeps an eye on it, and if there are more people..."

Speaking of this, he said, "After all, Princess Xuanning has personally come to support the scene for the emperor's son-in-law, and I can't help but give the princess this face."

Ji Shen nodded. If Lou Wangu and Lou Xun did not hunt a golden fox first, although Nie Yuansheng's official position was not high, he was also the favorite minister in front of Ji Shen. Others may not have to fight with him for a golden fox. The problem is that Lou Wangu's father and son have got a female fox among the golden fox first. If they can hunt them again Jinhu, even if it is dead, makes a full match with Ji Shen, which is extraordinary.

In this case, if Lou Wangu knew the news of the other golden fox, he would inevitably ask Nie Yuansheng to make a concession. Lou Wangu alone may not be enough to make Nie Yuansheng, the emperor's close minister, fear anything, but Lou Wangu's wife, Princess Xuanning, couldn't help but let Nie Yuansheng not let her go.

Therefore, Nie Yuansheng chose to hide and not report, cutting first and then playing, which is also a matter of reason.

Ji Shen is used to being in the upper position, and he also knows something about the scruples of the subordinates. He has always been close to Nie Yuansheng. Of course, he will not blame him for not giving up the limelight of the golden fox to Lou Wangu. Instead, he sneered and said, "I ascended the throne earlier. I had to choose the people around me by myself. I don't want to end except that Ruan Wenyi was given by the emperor. After that, everyone else was replaced by her mother with various excuses. When Mao Zi arrived, my mother announced me several times the day after tomorrow. Every time I entered Mao Zi to slander me. I couldn't stop it several times, and Mao Zi was almost poisoned several times!"

Speaking of this, Rao Ji grew up in the emperor's family. He was taught to be happy and angry since he was a child. He couldn't help but look gloomy. After a pause for a long time, Fang continued: "Over the years, the people around me since Gaozu are Ruan Wenyi, except for you, but Ruan Wenyi also gradually favored his mother. I borrowed Ouyang's the day before yesterday. He was removed from his post as a supervisor, and there was nothing to choose in this palace, so he used Gu Changfu first... But Gu Changfu doesn't know whether he is looking at me or his mother?

Nie Yuansheng listened quietly. At this moment, Fang was surprised and said, "What saved Ruan Dajian?"

"Good things Ouyang has done!" Although the matter has passed for two nights, I don't know if the Ouyang family specially asked for a question yesterday, which made Ji Shen more and more annoyed. When it comes up, he still doesn't hide his bored tone and waved his hand and said, "I have taken her of Ninghua's position and become a beauty first. After returning to the palace, I will discuss with my mother... Ruan Wen Yi knows that Ouyang, a poisonous woman, has made personal friends with foreign ministers, plotted to kill palace people, and wants to speak for her. My patience with him has reached the extreme!"

"When I came to see your majesty this morning, I saw that Ruan Wenyi was not around. I thought that Ruan was temporarily instructed by your majesty to do other things, so his adopted son Gu Changfu stayed to serve for a while." Nie Yuansheng showed a look of meditation and said, "The matter of Ninghua Niang belongs to the harem. I dare not say much or ask about it. It's just... Ruan Dajian has followed His Majesty for many years, and he is a person given by Emperor Gaozu. Now he is angry with Ruan Dajian for the harem. I don't think it's appropriate."

Ji Shen frowned: "Is it possible that I will continue to use this two-hearted thing?"

"The most important thing for the people around your majesty is to be loyal to your majesty." Nie Yuansheng heard Ji Shen's anger, but said without hurry, "Of course I didn't mean that."

Hearing the words, Ji Shen eased her tone: "You have always been well done. If it hadn't been for your mediation over the years, I would have been with my mother..." He paused and said, "Come and listen!"

"Your Majesty is the son of heaven, and who wants to serve by his side is his blessing." Nie Yuansheng praised first, and then continued, "If you are tired of anyone, just let them go. The so-called thunder, rain and dew are all king's grace. This is what your majesty deserves, but Ruan Dajian is fed by Gao Zu. Gao Zu's vision is not as good as your majesty's intention. I think he is not very old now, and it's okay to do something else. "

Ji Shen heard his meaning, but he was still not very happy: "This man was left by the emperor and served me for many years. When the emperor was there, he still knew who was the master. After the emperor left, the former emperor just asked casually and revealed my where I went, causing me to be punished by the former emperor at the beginning... After the former emperor left, he obeyed his mother again. , is it because he is left by the emperor? I don't need him, and I have to bother to find a fat difference for him?

-Ji Shen's displeasure of Ruan Wenyi still inadvertently revealed Ji Shen's lust for play from Ruizong. She was punished by Ruizong. Because Ji was deeply punished that time, she felt betrayed by Ruan Wenyi and was furious. If Nie Yuansheng and other companions had not been persuaded from the side, Ruan Wenyi was almost executed!

In fact, because of this, although Ruan Wenyi was the head of Ji Shen's close servant and Liang Gaozu, she did not dare to put her life on Ji Shen, so she simply defected to Ruizong. When Ruizong died, at the order of the Empress Dowager Gao, Ruan Wenyi did not dare to neglect her, just to be able to Enough to have a way back.

But he didn't expect that the more he did this, the more disgust Ji Shen became. When it came to Ouyang's matter, Ruan Wenyi made a statement. Ji Shen was no longer patient and directly cut his position as the head of the internal department!

Even now Nie Yuansheng suggested not to kill Ruan Wenyi, and Ji Shen was a little unheard of.

"Why does your majesty bother with a waiter?" Nie Yuansheng smiled indifferently, "In your Majesty's words just now, I heard that your majesty is tired of Ruan Wenyi. In this case, I will keep his personal face for the sake of Emperor Gaozu, but don't put it in a place that your majesty can often see, at least give him a steward position."

Ji is thoughtful.

"In the side of the Xijixing Palace, Your Majesty also comes to spring hunting and autumn hunting, and it's not always here." Seeing this, Nie Yuansheng suggested, "I want Ruan Wenyi to serve your majesty for many years. Even if something goes wrong, it is more than enough to be the chief of the palace, which is also the righteousness of the master and servant."

The royal hunting ground is not only in Xiji Mountain, but the largest hunting ground under Xiji Mountain is also the closest to Yedu, so nine times of ten royal hunting have been selected here.

"What Yuansheng said is very true!" Ji Shen nodded and muttered, "Then transfer Lei Mo back to Yedu Neisi..."

"Your Majesty, wait!" Ji Shen was interrupted by Nie Yuansheng in the middle of his words and reminded him, "Your Majesty said that he would transfer Lei Jian back to the internal department. Will he continue to use Gu Changfu to replace Ruan Wenyi in the future?"

Gu Changfu is a transparent person, and he himself is the servant of the Xuanshi Hall. Although Ruan Wenyi was there before, Ji Shen's close service can't talk about him, but after looking at Ji Shen in the past few years, he has also thought about Ji Shen's preferences. The night before last, Ruan Wenyi was expelled from the main hall of the palace. Gu Changfu Ji Shen has always felt good after serving him, which is also one of the reasons why he did not hesitate to drive away Ruan Wenyi.

This will be interrupted by Nie Yuansheng. Ji Shen suddenly remembered what Nie Yuansheng said when he just mentioned Gu Changfu and frowned, "In this way, Gu Changfu can't be left. Several adopted sons of Ruan Wenyi in the Xuan Room Hall have been sent away."

Nie Yuansheng shook his head and said, "It's not for the purpose of stopping Your Majesty. In the final analysis, are those internal servants who recognize Ruan Wenyi as the godfather really to respect him? It's just because Ruan Wenyi is your majesty's close servant. The so-called water-by platform gets the moon first. Ruan Wenyi now hates your majesty. Those so-called adopted sons may not be so stupid. Since your majesty has the intention to replace Ruan Wenyi with Gu Changfu, I think he has served well in the past two days, which shows that he is a smart person.

"If he learns Ruan Wenyi's service and doesn't even learn Ruan Wenyi's thoughts, what's wrong with me to praise him?" Ji Shen frowned and asked.

"Your Majesty's close servant is also the head of the internal division. Gu Changfu is young and may not be able to bear the latter." Nie Yuansheng sincerely said, "What's more, the current Feng supervisor of the inner department is Ruan Wenyi's fellow countryman. The two have a very good relationship. Feng Jian is older than Ruan Wenyi. When Gu Changfu entered the palace, Feng Jian had been in the palace for many years. Although Feng Jian took care of the inner department after His Majesty's accession to the throne, he had been in the inner department for nearly ten years before that. Your Majesty, please think that Ruan Wenyi was originally a fellow countryman. Although she was a few years older than him, Gu Changfu was the adopted son of Ruan Wenyi. I'm afraid that your majesty will be unstable!"

Ji Shen also thought deeply when she heard the words. The inner secretary is in charge of the daily livelihood of the harem, and nominally also needs to report to the middle palace. However, the highest officer of the inner department is the prison, and he is not the head of the emperor's close servant. It is also for the emperor to know the expenses and movements in the palace at any time through the close servant, so as not to be blinded by the harem.
