Treacherous Living in the Imperial Harem

Chapter 821: Deng Chengzhai This seems to be an opportunity?

Views:

"Your Majesty!" Yan Yin was startled and quickly knelt down on the ground, "Your Majesty, calm down!"

Chunjia had not asked his servants to wait on him when he came to talk to Yun Fenghuang before. He did not know what the imperial concubine said to the emperor, which made the emperor so angry.

At this moment, I am confused. I don’t understand why the imperial concubine has started to cause trouble again when she has been in confinement for the past few days.

"..." Chunjia has always had a strong sense of self-control.

Just now, it was just a sudden outburst of emotions that he couldn't control. At this moment, he ignored Yan Yin, with a sullen face, and stood in the hall for a moment with his hands behind his hands. Then he turned his eyes and quietly ordered: "Get someone to take care of it."

Seeing this situation, Yan Yin didn't dare to ask: "Yes."

While he sent the palace servants to clean up the mess, Chunjia went to the nearby Nuan Pavilion to rest.

Yan Yin thought about it and felt uneasy, so he quietly ordered someone to invite Deng Chengzhai over: "... I also ask Lord Deng to give more comfort to His Majesty."

Deng Chengzhai, who thought something had happened and rushed over: "..."

Have I ever offended Yan Yin

should not

What does this eunuch mean? ?

If it's a temple matter, no matter whether it's difficult or not, just inform him to come over. But this is an internal matter, and it may not even be the case that the love between the emperor and the noble concubine has failed. What should he, a foreign minister, or a young foreign minister, advise

He wished he didn't know about this!

Deng Chengzhai cursed a lot, but after thinking about it, he felt that if he turned around and left, he might offend Yan Yin, so he had no choice but to go to Nuange to ask for an audience.

When Chunjia heard that he had come suddenly, she thought something had happened to the previous court. Although her mood had not recovered, she immediately regained her composure and ordered him to go in.

"Your Majesty, I heard that your Majesty is a little troubled." Deng Chengzhai looked at him while saluting. Seeing that the emperor was as usual, he was even more scolded by Yan Yin. This kind of thing can be solved by the emperor alone by calming down for a while. Why should I ask him to come over and wade in the muddy water? ?

Do you think he is free

At this moment, he resisted the urge to go out and kill Yan Yin, and said respectfully, "I have come here before, and I would like to ask if I can share your Majesty's worries?"

Chunjia sighed slightly when he heard the words and said: "Yan Yin came to find you? He is really troublesome."

Deng Chengzhai thought to himself, and said, "Eunuch Yan Ying is also concerned about your majesty."

"I just had a lot of thoughts, but now it's nothing." Deng Chengzhai didn't want to interfere in the inner palace, especially not to get involved in the grudges between emperors and concubines, but Chunjia couldn't bear to let an outsider listen to his thoughts, so he chuckled and then gave up. He said, "Yan Yin is fooling around, how can he cause some trouble for me and disturb my ministers? Just go away!"

"I obey." Deng Chengzhai breathed a sigh of relief, bowed and was about to leave. But Yan Yin happened to come in at this time. Seeing Chunjia, he was about to send Deng Chengzhai away. He couldn't help but kneel on the ground and cried: "Your Majesty, slave. I knew I shouldn't disturb Master Deng rashly. After all, it is the responsibility of slaves to serve His Majesty. However, His Majesty has many things to do these days, and he is already very busy and hardworking. It is rare that the Imperial Concubine sends someone to invite him. I thought that Your Majesty would be somewhat relaxed after returning to the harem. Who would have thought that your majesty would be in a worse mood after he came back! I don’t know what the noble concubine and your majesty said to your majesty, which made your majesty so angry. But this slave... "

Chunjia lowered her face: "That's enough!"

Yan Yin shut up reluctantly.

Deng Chengzhai sighed, he really didn't want to meddle in other people's business.

But now, how should I put it, Yan Yin has shouted so much. If he were a pure foreign minister, he would just repay it without saying a word at this moment.

But he is not.

Not only is he a trusted close minister of the emperor, but the key point is that the identity of this close minister comes largely from the fact that he is the emperor's companion, the person who has accompanied Chunjia from the time when the emperor ascended the throne to today.

The love between teenagers is the most pure and solid.

Although the monarch and his ministers were different, Deng Chengzhai and the emperor were not the same after all.

Otherwise, how could he assist Chunjia in contacting the regent to deal with the Ji family? How could he be promoted by Chunjia under unusual circumstances and entrusted with important tasks

Therefore, Deng Chengzhai's attitude towards the emperor was destined not to be that of a simple minister.

He and Chunjia were ministers and kings, friends, and friends who grew up together.

This kind of relationship of being both a minister and a friend is his qualification, but the sense of proportion also needs to be handled quite carefully.

For example, at this time, Deng Chengzhai couldn't just leave.

He may not have known the details before, so as a foreign minister not to interfere in the relationship between the emperor and the harem, he was observing etiquette; now Yan Yin is saying that Chunjia has worked so hard, why can he not speak up? Even if you don’t open your mouth, do you still have the emperor in your heart

Deng Chengzhai then became solemn, stopped, raised his hands towards Dan Chi, and asked seriously: "Your Majesty is in a bad mood, and it's because of the noble concubine?"

"Don't listen to this slave's nonsense." Chunjia glanced at Yan Yin, ordered him to get out, and then said calmly, "I just went to see the imperial concubine, but I didn't say anything. The imperial concubine is still in the moon. In the house, is it possible that you can still make me angry?"

"..." Deng Chengzhai was silent for a moment. As a close official of the emperor, he was certainly no stranger to the emperor's beloved concubine. At the summer banquet that year, he even met Yun Fenghuang and talked alone for a while. He knew this person best. cunning and clever changes. Although I only saw her in public after that, I kept listening to the rise of Concubine Min.

Knowing that Chunjia didn't know why, she had no affection for Yun Fenghuang at first, and even wanted to kill her, but later she became more and more interested in her, and even loved her very much.

But I never thought that the emperor would be so tolerant of Concubine Min.

The imperial concubine is still in confinement, so she cannot make the emperor angry... In other words, the imperial concubine is usually good, so she can make the emperor angry

Is Xiao Yun so powerful? ?

Deng Chengzhai was a little confused for a moment. He calmed down and said, "Then why is Your Majesty in a bad mood?"

Chunjia said casually: "Uncle Zhaowu deeply appreciates the emperor's grace, but he doesn't know whether he will return smoothly this time?"

Still the same sentence... If it was a foreign minister, or a foreign minister who did not have a deep relationship with Chunjia, Deng Chengzhai would be taken away from the topic by him, talk about government affairs for a few words, and then it would be time to retire.

However, he weighed his relationship with the emperor and felt that doing so would make him seem too cautious or too cold. In short, he might not be a minister or friend that the emperor loved.

After all, just looking at Chunjia's love for the concubine, we know that he may not be a truly generous and loving emperor. He is always ruthless when it comes to stumbling blocks, but he is actually very easy to talk to his own people. You will not feel bad because of a contradictory word or phrase, and then rely on your power and position to crush you.

In this way, Deng Chengzhai felt that because he had deep feelings for the emperor and went beyond caring about the emperor, Chunjia would not be really angry.

Even if you get angry and tell him to get out on the spot, there should be compensation afterwards, and his position of trust in the emperor's mind will not be shaken.

So he sighed and said: "Your Majesty, I have been fortunate enough to serve Your Majesty since I was a boy. Although the monarch and the minister are different, after many years of getting along, I regard you as your Majesty. How can it be summed up by the word 'Your Majesty'? Your Majesty, please allow me to explain." An ungrateful sentence: Your Majesty is rich all over the world, and there are many considerate beauties in the world vying to present them to you. If the imperial concubine always makes your Majesty depressed, why don't you start the selection again? It seems that the harem has not had a new member for some years. "

After saying this, he kept his expression of feeling sorry for the emperor, but his heart was pounding uncontrollably.

After all, if these words made Chunjia fall out, and the imperial concubine found out about it afterwards, he would be doomed.

Fortunately, although the emperor is not really kind-hearted, he is still very tolerant of people he considers to be one of his own. He did not get angry after hearing this, but only smiled and sighed: "Yue Ting, since you are an old man who has been with me for many years, don't you know that I Not a person who is greedy for beauty?"

If he only valued beauty, Yunfeng Huangyuan would not be the most beautiful.

The emperor remembered Yi Xing'en, who was recognized as the most beautiful woman in the Sixth Palace, but when it came to doting on her... that was all.

"Your Majesty is wise and powerful, so he cannot be deceived by mere beauty." Deng Chengzhai felt reassured after hearing this, and at the same time he also realized that this was a good opportunity.

Chunjia was born in a single lineage of Fuyang King for several generations. His blood sister, Princess Kunze, was very different in age from him. Even though she was brought and raised in the Imperial Palace, the siblings were never close to each other.

Before the emperor ascended the throne, he was always accompanied by servants.

After ascending the throne, there were six companions including Deng Chengzhai.

But among the six companions, due to various reasons, only Deng Chengzhai, Zheng Fengfen, and Yun Qike were finally trusted and relied upon by the emperor.

Among them, the one with the most advantage is actually not Deng Chengzhai, but Yun Qike.

As the legitimate son and eldest son of Duke Yi Guo, his biological sister entered the palace as a concubine, and his father was loyal to the emperor... It can be said that the whole family is loyal.

Even if Mrs. Yi Guogong is a hindrance, Chunjia is not a foolish king, and it is impossible to ignore the efforts of loyal ministers just because of the back house.

Therefore, even if Yunqi's guest is not in front of the emperor, the emperor will never forget him.

As for Deng Chengzhai, it seemed that the emperor was the closest to him. In fact, among the six companions, he was the one who got along the most with Chunjia. But the problem is that he does not have a good father like Duke Yi. Although his uncle Cui Wan is also a loyal minister, his relationship with Chunjia is not so harmonious. The key is that Cui Wan himself has many heirs. Even if he is a good uncle, it is impossible. Why don't you abandon your own children and grandchildren to support your nephew Deng Chengzhai

Deng Chengzhai initially refused Cui's proposed marriage, and also turned down many noble ladies. He was obviously going to be a pure minister, but in fact he had to make this choice after weighing the pros and cons.

This is also what the emperor means. After all, there is only one emperor and one minister.

If Chunjia wants to secure the throne, he must have the support of a group of ministers who only care about him.

Deng Chengzhai was his default candidate.

In Deng Chengzhai, it is certainly a good thing that he can be appointed as the future humerus by the young and powerful emperor. The problem is that humerus bones also have high and low strengths.

How could a young talent like him, who by chance and fate have embarked on an unlimited future at a young age, not want to seek an extremely popular position

The disadvantage of being a pure minister is that you cannot form cliques for personal gain. The advantage is that Jane is in the emperor's heart... There is also a difference between Jane and the emperor's heart. Deng Chengzhai quickly thought about it, if he and the emperor talked about the love of their children this time... and did not let the emperor If you are bored, wouldn't it mean that your status in the emperor's mind is very different

Of course, there is a risk in doing this. Even if the emperor regrets it later, he may want to send him away.

But wealth and honor can be found in danger. Besides, highly-ranked ministers rarely stay in the central government all the time, and they rarely have to go to local areas to hone their skills for a few years. If he made a mistake this time, after all, he had been in love with the emperor for many years, and he had neither betrayed nor reached the point where his achievements had shaken the emperor. According to Chunjia's character, he would not have killed him.

At most, it should be released in advance.

Deng Chengzhai thought quickly and said softly: "Your Majesty favors the imperial concubine, but the imperial concubine is rumored to be pampered. If the selection is repeated, maybe the imperial concubine will regret it after hearing the news and turn to be attentive to your majesty?"

He thought that the emperor was really deceived by the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine was from a humble background, but her wealth and splendor were all given by the emperor, along with her family's current development.

Is she worthy of falling out with the emperor

Does she dare to fall out with the emperor

It was just a way to invite favors and flatter her, but the emperor wanted to take advantage of her!

Just look at it, as long as the news of the newcomer's arrival spreads, there is no need to actually send flower and bird envoys to various places, this Concubine Min will have to hurriedly surrender!

"... The imperial concubine is now clamoring to take Shi Shi to the fiefdom to become a vassal." The emperor did not calm down completely when Deng Chengzhai asked for an audience, but just suppressed his emotions. When he heard this, he couldn't help blurting out, "If we mention new people again, I'm afraid that she will be more determined to fly away, and then she may be like Empress Yuan's mother, who can't even be persuaded!"
