Chapter 104: The slanderous ministers favor favors (2)

After leaving the Hall of Yangxin, Lishan returned to the Censorate directly, opened everyone and called Cai Shouqi, "Brother Zixiang, I'll congratulate you."

Cai Shouqi hated Lishan for offering treasures. Seeing that the treasure fell in the Tian family, he didn't dare to give up and couldn't give up. There was no need to mention this awkwardness. Not long after, Lishan was actually appointed as the deputy Zuodu Censor, under Weng Tonghe, and was his direct subordinate Shangguan. Every day when he met at the office, he always had a mysterious smile and didn't know what he was trying to make. This time he came, but unexpectedly he spoke to himself. "My lord is making fun of me. What kind of happy events can I have? I can congratulate you?"

"It's not only a happy event, but it's not a thing." Takayama pretended not to see the impatient look in his expression, and said with a smile, "That's the first thing, the emperor asked me to tell you brother, the treasure of the peony flowers and the eight treasures of the sea water passionflower and the colorful beasts are all over the ground. The two clouds, dragons, dark dragons, phoenixes, treasures, flowers and lions rolled in the embroidered blankets, Eight auspicious clouds, Ganoderma lucidum, flowers and fruits, have been appreciated by the emperor for many days, and you will be ordered to enter the palace to retrieve them soon."

Cai Shouqi's eyes shone and he quickly knelt down, "The emperor's kindness is so great that the old minister is grateful."

"There is one more thing." Lishan did not allow him to stand up, and continued, "The emperor heard about your little daughter Zezhi, and he was merciful to him. He decided to give a special order and express his orders, but..."

Cai Shouqi was overjoyed! This was really an unexpected achievement, but how could the emperor know about his family? But at the moment, he couldn't tell the details, and asked hurriedly, "Master Li, what is it?"

"But the details are unknown. The emperor said, "You will bring two girls into the palace tomorrow. The emperor will ask in person before talking."

Cai Shouqi was so happy that he couldn't tell the difference between them. He met one after another, like pounding garlic. "I received the order and thank you. Long live the emperor!"

"Then, please ask my brother to go back home quickly and prepare for a while. To take my daughter to the palace to meet you tomorrow morning."

"Yes, yes, I'll go home now, and now."

Cai Shouqi left the Censorate happily, and before he could even order someone to pass on the sedan chair, he suddenly stopped: Oops! Why did this matter be so simple to accept? His two daughters are pretty and the emperor is a diseased person. If he meets him, what will happen?

I wanted to go back and ask Takayama to speak to the emperor again, but I knew that this was an absurd idea. If Takayama was willing to speak for him, the emperor would never let it go! At that time, a disaster would be coming!

After calming down like this, he guessed Tateyama's intention and was in tears for a moment. But then he thought, this might not be a bad thing: If the third daughter Zezhi could be favored by the emperor, she would not only be able to protect her career, but also have a future wealth! Thinking of this, she became a little worried about gains and losses: What if her daughter could not be favored by the emperor? Then there is no need to be afraid, she could still earn a chastity arch for her daughter!

When he returned home with a chaotic thought, Cai Shouqi ordered someone to call his wife and two daughters out and said to them, "The emperor has an order. I will take my daughters into the palace tomorrow to thank you. You should rest early tonight, get up early tomorrow morning, take a shower and change clothes, and go to the palace with me."

"Master, what do you want to thank me?"

"You woman, there is no need to ask more questions." Cai Shouqi interrupted his wife with a cold face, "Did you hear it?"

"Yes." Cai Zetiao and Cai Zezhi were afraid of their strict father since childhood, so they did not dare to ask more questions, and agreed respectfully.

There was nothing to say all night. The next morning, Cai Shouqi ordered people to get off the carriage and headed straight to Shenwu Gate with his two daughters. Lishan had been waiting here for a long time. He took out his pocket watch and looked at it. It was less than nine o'clock. At this time, the call from the Military Affairs Office should not have ended. Even if it was over, he would have to summon ministers from various ministries and send officials from various provinces. It would not be over until around 11 o'clock in the morning. Cai Shouqi came so early, which shows that he was extremely utilitarian and could not even wait for this moment!

In addition to contempt for Cai Shouqi, he is more contented. Such a person should be kept in the hub and used for his own use. Well..., he held his cheek with his hands and pondered silently. What should he think of to give Cai some sweetness?

Cai Shouqi naturally couldn't guess Tateyama's thoughts. He didn't know what it felt like at Shangguan, who was much younger than him. On the one hand, he hated him for making trouble for him for many days. On the other hand, he also felt that Tateyama's secretly framed him and even asked him to give his daughter a daughter for honor was a great help. These thoughts were lingering in his mind and he was reluctant to go, which made him feel a headache.

Tateyama waited for a while, and after nine o'clock, a small eunuch from the Ministry of Internal Affairs began to enter and exit outside the Shenwu Gate. He casually called out, "Are the masters from the Military Affairs Office withdrawing their duties?"

Tateyama is the Minister of the Interior. There is no taboo to enter and exit the Mainland. The eunuchs all knew him and landed on one knee to ask for peace, "Please pay tribute to the Lord."

"Get up, I'll ask you what you want! How many people from the Military Affairs Office, can you get the refund?"

"Just just finished the shift."

Tateyama thought to himself that it was just right now, and he turned around and greeted Cai Shouqi. Several maids from the Cai Mansion helped the two ladies get off the carriage. They shook their lotus steps and followed Tateyama and swayed into the Shenwu Gate.

When he arrived at the gate of Yangxin, there were already ministers and officials waiting to meet. This was the first time Cai Shouqi has been here. Although he has been in the officialdom for many years, he has never seen Tianyan in person. Thinking that the emperor might ask him about his words, his heart was so nervous that his heart was pounding. He didn't care that Li Shan was not a person who could express his feelings, he pulled his sleeves, "Sir, are you going to see the emperor later?"

I have seen many scenes like this in Tateyama, and I sneered disdainfully, "Why, are you afraid?"

"No, no... afraid."

"It's best not to be afraid. You're waiting here, I'll go in and report."

Tatsuyama entered the Heart-Soul Gate and whispered a few words to the eunuch on duty. The latter nodded with a smile, took his green-headed card, and turned around and entered. After a while, he turned out again and nodded to him, "The Emperor Xuan Minister of the Office of the Internal Affairs and Deputy Left Censor Tatsuyama meets with him!"

Lishan entered the hall again, knelt on the carpet, and touched three sounds, "I'm going to see the emperor."

"Why are you so early today? Is there something wrong?"

Takayama was stunned, "Your Majesty, didn't you let the slave come? Yesterday, when the slave and you returned to Cai Shouqi's mansion, did you say that you let the slave bring them here today?"

"Oh..." The emperor said with a long "Oh", "Yes, I remembered it. Jingyu? Ordered someone to carry Cai Shouqi out and return it to him."

Takayama was anxious, "Your Majesty, didn't you say that you would let Cai Shouqi take his daughter to the palace to thank him? Now the three Cai family father and daughter have arrived outside the hall..."

"Are you confused? When is it now?" The emperor glared at Takayama, "You really, what's the point of asking me to say you? You can't match your elder brother! You don't have any gaze!" He scolded Takayama for a few words, and he said, "Who else has come to the palace besides Cai Shouqi?"

"They are the two daughters of Mr. Cai, named Zetao and Zezhi respectively."

"Jingyu," the emperor ordered, "Take them to the queen first, and I will come over to see them later."

Tateyama was scolded by him and his mind was confused. He touched several heads and bowed and retreated.

Cai Shouqi was still waiting outside, bringing her two daughters into the palace, which made many officials look puzzled. Some of those who know Cai Shouqi and who knows the emperor's temper are even more aware of the emperor's temper, and cursed in their hearts: Cai is really shameless. He must have no kindness when bringing his daughter into the palace!

A moment later, Takayama and Jingyu left the hall gate one after another, followed by two little eunuchs, carrying a big box, "Mr. Cai, this is the treasure of Cai's mansion that the emperor has given to you after the gift, and you can see clearly."

"No, no, no, no!" Cai Shouqi was brave enough to open the test on the spot. Without mentioning that there were so many colleagues around him, he sued someone if he was careless. Even if the emperor was generous and did not pursue the matter, this face would be considered to be lost! Therefore, he kept shaking his head and waving his hands, making him laughable.

Jingyu ignored him and turned to instruct, "You two, help Lord Cai carry the box outside." Then he moved his footsteps, approached the Cai sisters, looked at them carefully, "Come with me."

The two girls looked at the old father in confusion. The latter didn't know what was going on. At this moment, they didn't bother to ask and hurriedly said, "Are you going with Miss Jingyu?"

So, the Cai sisters had to turn around and follow Jingyu three times.

Tachiyama and Cai Shouqi all calculated the mechanism and only missed one section: Forgot to teach the two girls the etiquette in the palace! When they entered the queen's harem, they looked at the white-faced queen and were full of energy. The two girls were stunned at the same time: It turns out that the queen is so young?

Jingyu was also stunned and hurriedly whispered, "Kowtow!"

The two women knelt down with a thud, touching the ground with their heads, and it sounded loudly. I don’t know how many times they hit, but they didn’t say a word.

The queen was funny and guessed that the two women had entered the palace for the first time, and they didn't know the ritual. "Who is this? What's going on?" she asked Jingyu.

Jingyu blushed his cheeks slightly and curled his lips, "What is Lord Cai's daughter? I heard from the Ministry of Internal Affairs Tatsuyama..." She approached and whispered a few times in the queen's ear.

The queen's expression calmed down, and she secretly hated her heart: There was Sushun before, and now there was Lishan now. Why do you think about this matter all day long? The emperor is not a thirty-year-old boy. Seeing these two women's pretty faces and a cute and silly body, they are better than their youth and youth. Once they are selected to enter the palace, with the emperor's temper, they will definitely be beaten by Dandan!

In fact, this is a misunderstanding of the emperor. Although Takayama has such a mind, the two of them have never met each other, so they cannot say that they must be selected to enter the palace and accompany them for a long time. They just feel a little curious, that's all.

The queen stared at the two girls with a cold face, and after a while, she raised her wrist, "Okay, let them get up."

One morning, the state affairs were busy. Although the emperor did not have to do anything by himself, he sat upright and spoke almost the same official words. He felt very tired. He finally sent away the last group of outside officials waiting to be seen. He stretched out his arms and yawned, "Jingyu? Jingyu?"

"Emperor, Miss Jingyu went to the Queen's Palace and hasn't come back yet!"

"Oh. Hum?" The emperor suddenly remembered, "Set up and go to Zhongcui Palace."

When the queen and Jingyu and others knelt down outside the hall, the emperor suddenly realized that the Cai sisters were not among them. "Jingyu, didn't you say that you would bring people to the queen's harem? Where are the people?"

"I sent someone to send them back to the mansion." The queen suddenly raised her tone and said proudly.

"I still want to see them, why... why did you let them go back?"

"Your Majesty, these two women are both women. I think it is not appropriate to stay in the palace, so I sent someone to send them back."

"Not suitable?" The emperor immediately understood, "You, what are you thinking? I asked Lishan to bring them here, just to meet one of them. I heard that she was bullied at her husband's house, and after her husband died, she felt that she was tempted to take medicine..."

After hearing the emperor tell the matter, the queen realized what she was thinking. Her face turned red for a moment, and her beautiful eyes glanced at Jingyu. The latter smiled bitterly and shook her head, signaling her that she didn't know about this!
