Chapter 651

Chapter 651

Accompanied by Gao Ming, Shen Yi left the Ganlu Hall.

The moment he stepped out of the main entrance of Ganlu Hall, he knew in his heart that the attack on Zhou Yuanchui was over for the time being.

Gao Ming walked in front of Shen Yi, and said as he walked, "This time, Bachelor Shen made our family look at you with admiration again."

Shen Yi walked behind and asked, "What do you say, Eunuch Gao?"

Because of the cold weather, Eunuch Gao put his hands in his sleeves, and he said calmly, "Before Bachelor Shen went to kill that person, he must have anticipated what will happen later, right?"

He looked back at Shen Yi and asked, "Including His Majesty's reaction today?"

Shen Yi's heart tightened, and he quickly shook his head: "Eunuch Gao, Shen did this wrong thing entirely out of impulsiveness. At that time, he did it as soon as his brain got hot, and he didn't think about the consequences at all."

Eunuch Gao chuckled: "Your Majesty has just said that no one can be impulsive for a month."

"No matter how excited I was, it took me a month to calm down."

He looked at Shen Yi silently, and sighed slightly: "Now, our family is gradually losing sight of Bachelor Shen."

Shen Yi smiled and said: "Grandpa Gao is too exaggerated, but my mind is very simple, and I can understand it at a glance."

Gao Ming narrowed his eyes, but did not speak.

After the two of them walked for a while, Eunuch Gao stopped again. He looked at Shen Yi, and then looked around. After making sure that there was no one around, he hesitated and asked, "Scholar Shen, our family There is one thing that I have been unable to understand, and I want to ask you for advice."

Shen Yi also stopped, with a polite smile on his face: "What is it that even Eunuch Gao can't figure out?"

Eunuch Gao looked around once again, then bowed his head silently and said, "There are many things our family can't figure out. We have been in the palace for so many years, and we just rely on our loyalty to serve His Majesty..."

After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Scholar Shen thinks, Concubine Hui..."

He didn't continue talking, but looked at Shen Yi quietly, speechless.

But with this situation, coupled with the situation in the palace, Shen Yi already guessed what he was going to ask.

As Gao Ming is the head of the inner court, most of the affairs inside and outside the palace have to go through his hands, not only the emperor wants to use him, but also the empress dowager and empress sometimes call him over for questioning.

And with the "birth" of the eldest son of the emperor in the palace three months later, there is likely to be another force in the palace.

At that time, he, the head of the inner court, may be in a dilemma.

He wanted to ask Shen Yi what kind of attitude he should have towards Concubine Hui.

Shen Yi was stunned for a while, and then said: "One day, Eunuch Gao will serve the king wholeheartedly, and he will not help each other."

Gao Ming shook his head slightly.

"Scholar Shen, inside the palace is different from outside the palace."

"I, the steward of the inner court...sometimes have to..."

Eunuch Gao didn't continue talking until this point.

Shen Yi shook his head slightly and said: "Since it is a matter in the palace, then I can't talk too much. Eunuch Gao also knows that this is a taboo."

Hearing this, Gao Ming was silent for a while, then he shook his head slightly and sighed: "Forget it, it's too early to say these things now, and I'll ask Bachelor Shen when I have a chance in the future."

While the two were talking, they had already reached the gate of the palace. Eunuch Gao sent Shen Yi all the way to the gate of the palace, and cupped his hands at Shen Yi: "Our family will be sent here. It's dark and the road is slippery. Be careful on the road for Xueshi Shen."

Shen Yi and Eunuch Gao looked at each other, then bowed their hands together and said, "Thank you, Eunuch Gao."

After parting from Gao Ming at the gate of the palace, Master Shen's mind was full of thoughts.

Today, Gao Ming's performance was too weird.

He didn't look like a chief executive of the inner court at all, but he looked like he was going to the doctor in a hurry.

At this moment, two possibilities flashed in Shen Yi's mind.

The first possibility is that the emperor is testing his views on Concubine Hui through Gao Ming.

Second possibility...

Eunuch Gao's position is unstable, or he has a premonition that his position in the future will be unstable, and he plans to plan a future...

In the cold wind of the winter night, Master Shen shook his head and put all these miscellaneous thoughts behind him.

Anyway, these bullshit things in the palace have nothing to do with him now.

Right now, he mainly wants to do well with the affairs of the court, as for the affairs of the palace... let them do as they please.

The tossing was so hard that it was the emperor who had a headache, and it had nothing to do with him.

………………

The next day, when Master Shen woke up, it was almost noon. He stretched a lot before getting up from the bed.

The reason why I slept late was mainly because my nerves were highly tense in the past few days, and last night in the palace, I had a high-intensity "confrontation" with the emperor and high eunuchs, so I was quite tired.

After a good night's sleep, Shen Yi finally felt refreshed. After getting up and washing up, he came to the yard, looked at Lu Ruoxi who was teaching the child to walk, and said with a smile: "Ma'am, we have guests at home. Is it there?"

When Master Shen returned home last night, he went to his study and wrote a note, asking Jiang Sheng to send it to the Rites Hall early in the morning, and invite guests to come to his house for lunch.

Lu Ruoxi hugged the child in her arms, shook her head slightly and said, "Not yet, what kind of guest?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Qing'er trotted over and looked at Shen Yi: "My lord, there is a master named Cheng outside..."

"Take your invitation card and say that you are visiting at home."

Shen Yi tidied up his clothes, smiled and said, "Our guests are here."

He looked at Qing'er, and said: "Prepare a better table of food and wine, I want to treat guests to dinner."

Qing'er hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and asked: "My lord, could it be some high-ranking official again this time? The last time Master Zhou came to the house, the master had a conversation with him, and something was not right for more than half a month later. ..."

"This time this..."

Shen Yi smiled and said: "It's not the same official university as last time, so there's no need to make a fuss, just get a table of meals out."

After Shen Yi gave instructions to his family, he went to the front yard by himself, and saw Cheng Tingzhi who was visiting at home, he hurried forward, cupped his hands and said: "It's too late to get up late, and it's not too long to welcome, please forgive me... "

After not seeing him for a while, Master Cheng was visibly haggard.

The main reason is that he has been staying in Jiankang, waiting for the emperor's final "judgment", which made him feel uneasy and restless.

Especially two days ago, after Zhou Yishan left Jiankang and returned to Zhejiang to take up his post, he lived alone in the guild hall of the Ministry of Rites, and he felt even more uneasy.

After receiving the news from Shen Yi today, he immediately prepared to go to the door, but the final dignity of the feudal officials still prevented him from being too eager, and he waited until noon before going to the Shen family's house.

Cheng Tingzhi gave a wry smile, shook his head and said, "At this time, what is it called Fantai? Scholar Shen, don't make fun of Cheng."

"Indeed, it is not appropriate to call it Fantai."

Master Shen looked at Cheng Tingzhi, smiled and said, "Maybe in two days, I will call Cheng Zhongcheng."

Cheng Tingzhi's face trembled, he looked at Shen Yi, and asked in a daze, "Scholar Shen, what did you say?"

Master Shen coughed, and said: "Yesterday, I went to the palace to meet the saint. I stayed in the palace for more than two hours, and my mouth was dry..."

He said solemnly: "Your Majesty has finally been persuaded. Your Majesty ordered me to take you into the palace today. He wants to see Lord Cheng again."

Speaking of this, Master Shen smiled and said, "Master Cheng, will you enter the palace with me this afternoon?"

The emperor asked Shen Yi to bring Cheng Tingzhi into the palace in order to let Cheng Tingzhi owe Shen Yi a favor.

That being the case, Master Shen will naturally accept this favor.

If you don't fool Cheng Tingzhi with a few words, you will be sorry for this rare opportunity.

Cheng Fantai was almost moved to tears. He grabbed Shen Yi's shoulder and swallowed: "Scholar Shen, why don't we... enter the palace now?"

"It's noon now, what palace do you enter?"

Shen Yi pulled Cheng Tingzhi's sleeve and said with a smile, "Eat first, eat first."

"After dinner, let's enter the palace together. Shen will guarantee that you can see His Majesty."

Cheng Tingzhi took a deep breath, entered the main hall of the Shen family, sat with the Shen family, and ate a meal in a hurry.

He only ate half a bowl of rice, and said he was full, and waited for Shen Yi for a long time, and finally waited until Shen Yi finished eating and changed into official uniforms, and the two of them went to the Rites Hall together to pick up Cheng Zhijie's official uniform.

At the end of the afternoon, the two people entered the palace city. Master Shen led Cheng Tingzhi all the way to the gate of Ganlu Hall. After the notification, the two waited for about half an hour at the gate of Ganlu Hall before two eunuchs led Cheng Tingzhi in. .

As soon as Cheng Tingzhi entered here, a tall middle-aged man came out of Ganlu Hall.

Shen Yi recognized this person, and when he saw him, he immediately stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "Jiangdu Shen Yi, I pay my respects to Prince Jin."

Jin Wang Li Rui.

Hearing this, Li Rui took a deep look at Shen Yi, then reached out and patted Shen Yi's shoulder.

"Don't be too polite."

After all, Prince Jin left with his hands behind his back.

"When you have time, go to Jinwang's mansion and sit down."
