Chapter 347 Steamed Buns with Cured Pork Sauce (4)

A person like him... Zhao Sishan was startled, coughed slightly, his expression softened, and he nodded subconsciously and said: "That's okay!" At this point, he felt that his words seemed to be boasting. General, after all, was a little embarrassed, so he coughed lightly and explained, "I mean, Lin Shaoqing is a person who does things. But don't blame everything on him, we can do something ourselves. "

Wen Mingtang nodded, but before talking about his own affairs, he still wanted to do what he had promised to others. So she asked Zhao Sishan: "I have something to ask Sishan." After saying that, she paused and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "How about Concubine Jing?"

Zhao Sishan, who was raising his hand to yawn, paused for a moment and looked sideways: "What do you mean? Did her stretched out hand inside the palace disturb you outside the palace?"

Wen Mingtang said: "I heard that the concubine has recently taken over the affairs of the internal affairs yamen. This yamen doing chores has been in a lot of chaos before. Whether it is the investigation involving this yamen in our yamen or what our chef wants to do, there is no way around it. Let's drive it. Now that the concubine is taking over, it is inevitable to have contact with her, so I specially asked the concubine what kind of person she is and whether she is easy to talk to, so as to facilitate things in the future. "

After hearing what Wen Mingtang said, Zhao Sishan rolled his eyelids, raised his hand to cover his lips, yawned, and said, "Then it won't be convenient for you to do things in the future."

This answer was not surprising. They had made some guesses before coming, but when they heard the definite answer from Zhao Sishan, they were somewhat disappointed.

On the other side, Zhao Sishan covered his lips and continued to yawn. His droopy eyelids were paying attention to the surrounding movements, and he covered his lips and said: "I finally turned over after holding it in for a long time. Naturally, I want to do this harem thing." Lord, he shows off his majesty. This is not surprising, it is human nature, but this person's ambition is greater than ordinary people, he wants to take care of everything, and he lacks abilities much more than ordinary people... …”

"To be honest, any female official in the palace who climbed up by herself with her eyes closed would be able to do better than her. I see that all her good qualities are just luck. She got the favor of raising His Majesty by some combination of circumstances. …”

"So far, there has been no trouble. Thanks to His Majesty, in order to solve the trouble left by the late emperor, he dismissed several groups of palace people. There is only one queen in the harem, so nothing has happened..."

"But even so, there have been several troubles in the palace, and trivial matters have been mixed up into big ones. It's all up to the female officials, stewards, queens and even your majesty to deal with the aftermath. But she just thinks that her methods are extremely powerful, and the palace calls She managed everything peacefully, and a few days ago she persuaded His Majesty to take over the internal affairs office which was in chaos..."

When Wen Mingtang heard this, he couldn't help but interjected: "Isn't it time for this headache to take a rest? Why are you still continuing to work? Besides, the internal affairs office is already in chaos and the people in front of it have not taken care of it. How can the concubine take over like this? Isn’t it just adding chaos to chaos?”

"Everyone knows that chaos adds to chaos," Zhao Sishan nodded and said, "His Majesty himself knows it, and maybe he can manage such a chaos after saying a few words."

Wen Mingtang: "..." The emperor must be talking nonsense with his eyes closed!

"Of course, the gift of childbirth is there. Your Majesty is currently busy with the affairs of the previous court, so you can't get away from it for the time being. Concubine Jing is not considerate of your Majesty. She also has headaches, hand pains, and foot pains from time to time, and your Majesty can't do anything. ." Zhao Sishan said, "Only let the queen help the concubine. How can the concubine be willing to let others decentralize power? I heard that the queen is playing shuttlecock with the maids in the palace recently."

"The people below us have dealt with the concubine several times and have learned well. If there is any trouble that can be solved, we should try to solve it ourselves. Otherwise, we will go to the concubine's place. When the matter is settled, the day lilies will be cold. Because Everyone did not go to the concubine's palace to ask for instructions, but settled the matter privately. The concubine felt that her method was very good, so she extended her hand."

Wen Mingtang: "..."

"Since your yamen envoy came to inquire, I will tell you the truth," Zhao Sishan said, waving his hands and saying, "Don't mess around with her unless you have to, otherwise she will win. , if her hand hurts, it's your fault! If you don't have anything serious to do and have a lot of free time, you can go to the concubine's place to deal with her. "

"That's it!" When Wen Mingtang heard this, he shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "I'll go talk to them later!" Everyone was very busy, how could they have time to mess around with Concubine Jing?

Zhao Sishan nodded, glanced at Wen Mingtang, and asked, "Can you talk about your own business?"

Wen Mingtang nodded and said to Zhao Sishan: "Tell me about the person who poisoned me first..."

"The name has been changed," Zhao Sishan said, rolling his eyelids and saying, "If you don't tell me, General Liang and I will keep an eye on her. After all, she deliberately approached you, made friends with you, and secretly poisoned you. Just like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity, who can rest assured? There has been no movement before, but a few days ago, she was suddenly selected into the palace of Concubine Jing and changed her name to Xinyue. "

Wen Mingtang's heart sank when he heard this: "Why did she suddenly fall into Concubine Jing's eyes?"

"I don't know." Zhao Sishan shook his head, glanced at Wen Mingtang, and said, "Aside from His Majesty, Concubine Jing is the busiest in the palace right now. Therefore, she has always been short of manpower in the palace. She picked one a few days ago. She was one of those who criticized the handymen and maids in the past.”

Wen Mingtang pursed his lips and said nothing.

Zhao Sishan glanced at her and said: "Don't worry, I will continue to keep an eye on it for you. Don't worry about Concubine Jing's affairs right now. What are you going to do about Princess Liyang's affairs you mentioned?"

Wen Mingtang did not directly tell what to do, but asked Zhao Sishan: "How is Yin Shang Palace in the palace now?"

"The Queen is already playing shuttlecock, what else can Yin Shang Palace do?" Zhao Sishan rolled his eyes at her, and then said, "But of course Yin Shang Palace and others will not openly disagree with Concubine Jing, although He has been vacated, but his position is still stable, but he can't do anything recently. What do you ask Yin Shang Palace for?"

Wen Mingtang said: "The lady who was forced to become a monk and was framed by Princess Liyang was the sister of Yin Shanggong, the extremely beautiful Fourth Miss Yin."

Zhao Sishan thought for a while, frowned and looked at Wen Mingtang: "The Yin family doesn't care about Fourth Miss Yin's affairs. The Yin Shang Palace, who was sent to the palace to seek a future by the family, may not interfere!"

After staying in the palace for a long time, most people have become accustomed to protecting themselves wisely. If the relationship wasn't really good, most people would do more than have less to do. The Yin Shanggong looked at him with a cold and majestic look, and he knew at a glance that he was also such a person.

"No, she will take care of it. There is still a complaint in the Dali Temple Yamen that she asked someone to bring into the Dali Temple Yamen," Wen Mingtang said. When working in Dali Temple, as long as there are no violations of the rules, some things can indeed be investigated faster than others. "But because the Yin family came to withdraw, she probably weighed the pros and cons and didn't insist on submitting the complaint."

As for the same surname Yin, there is a reason for the completely different reactions.

"Yin Shanggong and Fourth Miss Yin are the children of the deceased first wife. His father had an affair with the current step-in-law when the first wife was still alive. Otherwise, he would not have given away his eldest daughter within two years after the death of the first wife. Entering the palace," Wen Mingtang said, "The late emperor was in the palace at that time... In short, it was like a pit of fire. If Yin Shang Palace hadn't made a living on its own, something would have happened long ago."

Zhao Sishan, who was sent to the palace by his brother, also knew the situation. She thought for a while and said to Wen Mingtang: "It's easy to talk to Yin Shanggong, but since she didn't insist anymore, she must know that it would be useless. If you don't have any evidence, even if she steps forward, it won't help. .”

"I know." Wen Mingtang nodded and said, "So today I just want to ask Zhao Sishan if Yin Shanggong is okay."

Zhao Sishan said "hmm", thought for a while, and then said: "Then you have to hurry up, not to mention that Princess Liyang is not a person who is willing to wait. Even if she is willing to wait, she still has to hurry up before me. Please resolve this matter before leaving the palace, otherwise, when I leave the palace, I will have to find someone else to establish a relationship with Yin Shang Palace."

Wen Mingtang nodded and said with a smile, "I know."

Zhao Sishan thought for a while and then spoke again: "It has been several years since the Yin family incident, and even if there was any evidence, it has long been gone. Besides, this kind of thing is all witnessed by witnesses. When one speaks, one speaks the truth. It's easy to say the other way around," Zhao Sishan thought for a moment and then said, "It's not easy to find evidence for Miss Yin's matter. Besides, this kind of thing... eh, this Miss Yin will be plotted by Princess Liyang. , treating her as a best friend, she is kind-hearted, weak and not very clever, unlike Yin Shanggong, who is not as tough-tempered. If this matter is revealed, I am afraid that she will be the one who is most opposed to it. I am afraid that you will make a fuss about this matter. It’s not beautiful, it’s like poking her scars again.”

Listening to what Zhao Sishan said, Wen Mingtang couldn't help but sigh: This time he opened his mouth, it was indeed the familiar Zhao Sishan who had always considered the issue so thoughtfully.

Therefore, Wen Mingtang no longer hid it from her, and said: "I have no intention of bringing out Miss Yin's pain points to make a fuss. Besides, we think this kind of thing is a big deal, but in the eyes of some people, it's scary I don’t care about it at all, it’s not as important as a little money and benefits.”

Otherwise, why would the Yin family withdraw the complaint?

An hour passed really quickly. After Wen Mingtang asked some detailed questions about the trivial matters in Zhao Sishan Palace, someone started to rush him.

After Wen Mingtang wrote down the items that Zhao Sishan asked her to help prepare in advance, she walked out of the transparent door.

As soon as she stepped out of the Tongming Gate, she saw Zhao You waving towards her and calling "Master Wen" not far away. It seemed that he had been here for a while.

When Wen Mingtang walked over, he had time to call out "Zhao Chao", and then Zhao You spoke: "Master Wen, our Lin Shaoqing said, let me follow you wherever you want to go. Master Wen, are you going to Chengdong Sheng?" Want to visit the shops around Yefang?"

Hearing Zhao You accurately pronounce the three words "Shengyefang", Wen Mingtang couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth: Sure enough, Lin Fei and the others were more comfortable doing this kind of thing. Even though he couldn't free his hands, he still guessed what she was going to do.

Wen Mingtang nodded, glanced at Zhao You, who was still holding the oil paper wrapping the steamed buns with cured meat and pork that he had just finished eating, but his stomach was already singing "Empty City Strategy", and said: "Let's go! I'll go first." Let’s find a restaurant in the Shengyefang area to have a meal.”
