The Empress Dowager's birthday is naturally extraordinary, especially this year. Even if the Empress Dowager is seventy, she is already quite old. After all, as long as she has not broken through to the Yin and Yang realm, even if there are some longevity-prolonging medicinal materials, reaching around 100 years old is already the limit. .
So the emperor decided to make a big event, and everyone celebrated, and the entire Mingyu Dynasty was immersed in the festive atmosphere.
The emperor has already issued an imperial edict of amnesty for the whole world. Many people who have committed relatively minor crimes are directly released. Those who want to be executed are directly pardoned. The death penalty is changed to exile. There are many other corresponding benefits.
After all, the Mingyu Dynasty has developed for so many years, and the family is still very strong. With this opportunity, the emperor also wants to increase his prestige.
In addition, as the New Year is approaching, the lively atmosphere has reached its peak, and there is an endless stream of people entering the palace at this time. However, most people have already gotten off the car, dismounted their horses, and dismounted their sedan chairs outside the palace and entered on foot. After Ren Jie's spirit beast car appeared, , then enter the palace quickly all the way.
"Master Ren... you... why are you here, this..." The eunuch at the door had an ugly face when he saw Ren Jie, but he didn't dare to say anything else. After all, he was just an ordinary eunuch.
Because they have been busy from morning to night, for countless people, it is such an honor to be able to enter the palace and personally participate in the banquet with the emperor and the empress dowager. There are many people waiting outside before it gets dark. .
This guy is lucky. What time of the day is it? He didn’t even say anything, and he came when various activities were going on.
If it were another person, he might not even be able to get in through the outermost gate.
"Heaven and earth are kind and virtuous, and the hearts of hundreds of millions of people are all..." At this time, a voice could be vaguely heard coming from the distant hall, which should be reading something.
"Damn, are you not allowed in?" The fat man saw this posture and immediately felt that something was wrong.
"Are you not allowed in?" Ren Jie suddenly looked at the eunuch.
The eunuch vaguely remembered the recent rumors about Ren Jie. The head of the family, Ren, had been crazy as hell lately, and the troubles he caused were unbelievable even to those of them in the palace. Thinking that this person dared to take out the jade card to avoid death and kill people, the eunuch swallowed some of the words that were on his lips. He didn't want to get into trouble.
"This...I really can't decide this. Please forgive me, Master Ren. Please wait here for a moment. I'll go find our deputy general manager Shao Deshao and I'll be back soon." The little eunuch accompanied him, then quickly turned to Run to a place not far away.
Because it was the Empress Dowager's birthday, it was not only grand, but also heavily guarded. Ren Jie's consciousness did not dare to probe easily here. The reason is very simple. If someone in the palace is more powerful in this area, he will be in trouble if he finds out that his spiritual consciousness is special, so he still follows the rules in everything.
Not long after, I saw the little eunuch leading the way in a very respectful manner, and behind him was a man about forty years old with a smile on his face, wearing the uniform of the deputy director of internal affairs, followed by four eunuchs in charge. Came over quickly.
Ren Jie didn't specialize in officialdom, so naturally he didn't know the names of the eunuchs and stewards in the palace. What he could remember was that there was a manager of An University next to the emperor, and no one else knew about it at all. However, as for the status represented by these costumes, he had seen them when he first read the book, and he knew that this good-looking and smiling Zhong Zhong The young man should be the deputy general manager Shao Deshao mentioned by the young eunuch.
"It turns out to be the Master of the Ren family. I'm here to pay my respects to the Master of the Ren family." As soon as Shao De came up, he quickly stepped forward from a distance, smiled and bowed to salute.
"You little bastards, why didn't you immediately get a chair and serve tea to Family Master Ren when he came? Go quickly and get the tea that the queen gave me last time. If you neglected Family Master Ren, watch your heads." After Shao De finished cleaning up with Ren Jie, he immediately scolded the eunuch beside him.
Then he said helplessly: "Master Ren, please forgive me. It's not that I won't let you in. You also know that slaves only do things according to the rules. At this time, all entry and exit have been exempted. Manager An also ordered to come down. , without special reasons, communication is not allowed, that is, we and other people are not allowed to enter and leave the hall at will. The Empress Dowager's seventieth birthday is being celebrated by everyone. We have a hundred heads and we cannot afford such a big event. Please forgive me, Master Ren. At least wait here for a while, then I can find a chance to talk to General An, and then General An will talk to His Majesty."
This time it was a big deal. The fat man looked at Ren Jie sideways and shook his head. He looked at Ren Jie with questioning eyes and asked him to leave after a while.
She didn't care, but she was afraid that just leaving and not participating would cause any trouble for Ren Jie.
"Shao De, deputy general manager Shao, right?" Ren Jie ignored the fat man and looked at Shao De with a smile.
What Shao De said seems to be flawless and he is thinking about himself, but there are a lot of tricks and pretentiousness in it. Wait, how long? Saying that he couldn't bear it was fucking nonsense. Moreover, Shao De was a little too enthusiastic when he first came up. In addition, he was obviously a weakling at the moment. Ren Jie immediately felt that there was a problem.
It is the easiest thing in this world to justify doing things according to the rules, but as long as there are people, doing things according to the rules is nonsense, especially when it involves a being like yourself.
He is the head of the Ren family, the head of one of the five major families in the Mingyu Dynasty. This is not an iron law, it is the law of the country. He is actually telling himself to act according to the rules here, which is obviously blocking others.
Moreover, these eunuchs are usually in the palace and bow to those who are in power within the palace, but this is not the case with people outside. Even if those high-ranking officials see them, they have to be careful. Who knows if they will do any harm. Today, Shao De was obviously unusual in being polite and careful, as if he was his master.
"Master Ren, please tell me if you have any orders." Shao De said with an apologetic smile, acting like a slave serving his master.
"Who gave you the courage to block my family's head from attending the Queen Mother's birthday?" Shao De didn't expect that Ren Jie didn't discuss with him, didn't ask him, and didn't say anything else, but he said this directly. His heart couldn't help but beat rapidly.
But the smile on his face grew wider, and he secretly thought to himself, hmph, he did everything according to the rules, and no one could tell any problems. Today is the birthday of the Empress Dowager. Although he is a temporarily seconded deputy manager, he is still working for the Empress Dowager's birthday. There is nothing he can do to him.
Thinking of this, Shao De made up his mind even more and must give vent to the Seventh Princess, Master Fang Yan and Miss Fang. He was the person next to the Seventh Princess, and he was only seconded this time. Unexpectedly, Ren Jie bumped into his hand. At this moment, his heart was laughing. The power does not necessarily need to be great, it just needs to be easy to use.
"Hey, Master Ren, where do you start with these words? I am just a slave running errands. How can I dare to make things difficult for you? Ren Master, you should also know that the Queen Mother's birthday is a big deal. If others miss it, That's all guilty. You, master, are not afraid of this, but I, a slave, don't dare to act haphazardly. I have to act according to the rules." Shao De smiled bitterly, looking extremely embarrassed.
Um? Fatty originally thought it was just because the two of them arrived late, but when he heard Ren Jie's words, he immediately realized that something was wrong and realized that something was amiss.
This guy who was extremely polite and always smiling when we first met him turned out to be a smiling tiger with good intentions.
If it were normal, it would be no problem for the meal ticket boss to break out. Even if this guy is a eunuch in the palace, the meal ticket boss still has a jade card to avoid death. Besides, as long as he doesn't really kill people, he may not be able to use it. At worst, he will fight in front of the emperor again. A lawsuit. After all, it is impossible for the emperor to do anything to the head of the Ren family just for the sake of an eunuch.
But now it's the Empress Dowager's birthday, and this guy is caught doing things according to the rules and talking with an apologetic smile. This is the most disgusting thing. If he were touched at this time, it would really be like slapping the Empress Dowager and the Emperor in the face. No matter what, it would not be justified and the matter would become a big deal.
After thinking about this, the fat man really wanted to go up and kick this guy with a smile on his face with his huge fat feet. Now it was so uncomfortable to see his smile.
Only now did he realize that this kind of person is ten times, no, a hundred times more annoying than those who directly confront you. It's so fucking disgusting.
"You don't have a son, do you?" When the fat man found out and was furious, Ren Jie suddenly looked at Shao De and asked.
Uh-huh! !
At this moment, Shao De's smiling face suddenly froze. Not only him, but also the expressions of the eunuchs around him instantly became extremely ugly.
Is there anything more vicious than asking a eunuch if he has a son
"What the head of the family said..." Shao De's smile was already ugly. The flesh on his face twitched a few times, and he smiled reluctantly, but his smile was uglier than crying.
"Don't get me wrong, the head of my family will not discriminate against or attack you in this regard, because there is no need at all." Ren Jie explained to the eunuch with an ugly expression behind him, then looked at Shao De and said: "The head of the family just wants to say , you don’t have a son, but you are probably not alone. After all, there are very few people who don’t even have a family. You think you are not afraid of anything in the palace. What about your family? The head of the family is not a fucking good person. It’s not the ordinary people who are officials in the court who are afraid of what you say in front of the emperor, because there are already many people who say it every day, and you are not the only one left.”
"Smile, keep laughing." Seeing Shao De's expression gradually solidifying and stiffening, Ren Jie pointed at his face and said: "Keep smiling for my master, don't fucking stop. But remember, my master will Take care of your family first, and then take care of you."
There was silence all around at this moment, and all the eunuchs and guards were stunned.
Someone actually dared to directly threaten a deputy general manager of the inner palace in the palace. Although this deputy general manager was responsible for the affairs of the seventh princess and was temporarily seconded, the people around the emperor had always been superior to others.
Not to mention these eunuchs, no one dared to offend him. The head of the family was too... courageous to even say such things.
Shao De does have a lot of family members, and they are all doing well outside. He suddenly came up with this idea today because Fang Qi had always been taking care of his family, which allowed the originally dilapidated family to rise again, and now it can be considered a medium-sized family.
And it was precisely because of Fang Qi's recommendation that he became popular with the Seventh Princess.
After hearing what Ren Jie had done to Fang Qi, especially when he and the Seventh Princess had just visited Fang Qi who was bedridden, Shao De had been very unhappy. He didn't expect to encounter this opportunity today, so he immediately thought of such a way. .
He thought very clearly that he would do everything according to the rules and Ren Jie would be able to do anything to him, but he did not expect that Ren Jie would threaten him so openly. This was something he never dreamed of.
"Master Ren, I only do things according to the rules. You are forcing others to make things difficult. I serve the Empress Dowager and the Emperor wholeheartedly. Even if something happens to my family because of this, I will be loyal to Your Majesty." Shao De said, the smile on his face could not be more difficult. Hold on, clasping fists towards the distant hall, and then his face darkened: "Come, no one is allowed to break in without your Majesty's order."
The trouble had reached this point, so Shao De was willing to risk everything. However, Shao De was not stupid and immediately carried the Empress Dowager and Her Majesty out.
At this moment, the imperial guards around him didn't care. They immediately stared in Ren Jie's direction. If he really moved these people, they would definitely take action.
"Damn, bitch." The fat man couldn't help but cursed when he saw Shao De being forced to reveal his face by Ren Jie's few words.
"Be loyal..." Ren Jie was amused by his words.
"Boom... boom..." At this moment, before Ren Jie could say anything else, a trembling and roaring sound suddenly came from the distance, and then two fast horses rushed in.
"Northwestern General Ren Tianheng wishes the Empress Dowager a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years."
"General Ren Tianqi of the Southwest wishes the Queen Mother a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years."
Although this is not the main palace, the people who can get here are not ordinary people. Even Ren Jie's bodyguard Tong Qiang and others can only stay outside the palace. At this time, two fast horses rushed over quickly, and then stopped suddenly. Two men in armor jumped down from above.
"Two young generals, please come in and let the two young generals go over..." As soon as he saw these two people, Shao De, whose face had just darkened, couldn't help but smile again, hurriedly made a gesture of invitation, and at the same time ordered the imperial guards behind to let go. The two men went in.
Both of them were in their early twenties. Their armors looked extraordinary, and they exuded a strong aura and a faint murderous aura. They could clearly feel that they were different from ordinary people.
But the most important thing is that the armors worn by the two people actually...are both Ren family clothes, and their appearance is somewhat similar to Ren Jie. Seeing the two people vaguely, Ren Jie seems to have a slight impression. .
"Humph, Patriarch!" At this time, one of the young men with a scar on his face snorted and shook his head slightly.
"It's embarrassing for our Ren family, let's go, let's go give gifts as soon as possible." The other one looked more handsome, frowned slightly, and walked inside.
"Damn, what the hell do you mean, you wicked thing, please explain clearly, otherwise I will poison you to death right now." No matter what, this Shaode just now behaved very well and acted according to the rules. At this moment, he actually After letting the others in, and seeing the two guys dragging them in, Fatty also exploded, pointing at Shao De and shouting angrily.
