Chapter 238 Deng Chengzhai: This Seems Like an Opportunity?
"Your Majesty!" Yan Yin was startled, and quickly knelt down on the ground, "Your Majesty, calm down!"
Before Chunjia entered the room to talk to Yun Fenghuang, he didn't let his servants wait on him, and he didn't know what the imperial concubine said to the emperor, so that the emperor would be so angry.
At this moment, I am at a loss, I don't understand that the imperial concubine is in confinement these days, but why is she starting to make troubles again?
"..." Chunjia has always had a strong self-control.
It was just because she suddenly couldn't hold back her emotions that she had an outburst. At this moment, she ignored Yan Yin and stood on the hall with her hands behind her back for a moment with a sullen face. Then she turned her eyes and ordered in a soft voice: "Someone clean it up."
Seeing the situation, Yan Yin didn't dare to ask: "Yes."
While he was sending the palace staff to clean up the mess, Chunjia walked to the nearby Nuan Pavilion to rest.
After thinking about it, Yan Yin felt worried, quietly ordered someone to invite Deng Chengzhai over: "...and please Sir Deng comfort your Majesty more."
Thinking that something happened, Deng Chengzhai hurried over: "..."
Has this official offended Yan Yin?
should not?
So what does this eunuch mean? ? ?
If it's a temple matter, no matter whether it's tricky or not, it's fine to inform him to come over. But this is a matter of the inner court, and it may not even be the love between the emperor and the noble concubine. He is a foreign minister, why should he be persuaded by a young foreign minister?
He wished he didn't know about it, okay!
Deng Chengzhai slandered, but after thinking about it for a while, he felt that if he turned around and left, he might offend Yan Yin, so he had to bite the bullet and go to the Nuan Pavilion to ask for an interview.
When Chunjia heard that he came suddenly, she thought that something happened in the previous court, and even though her mood had not recovered, she immediately rectified her spirits and ordered him to go in.
"Your Majesty, I heard that Your Majesty is troubled." Deng Chengzhai sized him up while saluting. Seeing that the emperor was as usual, he scolded Yan Yin bloody in his heart. This kind of matter can be solved by the emperor alone. Why did you call him over to wade through the muddy water? ? ?
When is he free?
Resisting the urge to go out and kill Yan Yin at this moment, he respectfully said, "I came here before, may I ask if I can relieve His Majesty's worries?"
Chunjia sneered slightly when he heard the words, and said: "Yanyin went to find you? He is really busy."
Deng Chengzhai thought in his heart, but he said: "Eunuch Yan Yin also cares about His Majesty."
"I just had some thoughts, but now it's nothing else." Deng Chengzhai didn't want to interfere with the inner circle, especially he didn't want to mix up the grievances between the emperor and concubine, but Chunjia was impatient to let an outsider listen to his thoughts, and then perfunctory Said, "The wild geese are making trouble, how can you make a little disturbance for me and disturb the courtiers? Go ahead!"
"I obey." Deng Chengzhai heaved a sigh of relief, and after bowing, he was about to leave, but it happened that Yan Yin also came in at this time, seeing that Chunjia was about to send Deng Chengzhai away, he couldn't help but prostrate on the ground, crying: "Your Majesty, servant girl I know that I should not disturb Mr. Deng rashly. After all, it is the responsibility of servants to serve His Majesty. It is just that His Majesty is very busy these days, and it is rare for the imperial concubine to send someone to invite him. Who knew that after His Majesty came back, his mood would be even worse! This servant does not know what the imperial concubine and empress have said to His Majesty, which made His Majesty so angry. But this servant..."
Chunjia's face darkened: "Enough!"
Yan Yin shut up unwillingly.
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 yelled so much, if he is a pure foreign minister, he can just pay it back without saying a word at this moment.
But he is not.
He is not only the emperor's most trusted confidant, but the key point is that the identity of this confidant largely comes from the fact that he is the emperor's companion, who has accompanied Chunjia since the emperor ascended the throne to this day.
The love in youth is the most pure and solid.
Although there are differences between monarchs and ministers, Deng Chengzhai is different from the emperor.
Otherwise, how could he assist Chunjia to contact the regent to deal with the Ji family? And how could Chunjia be exceptionally promoted and taken in by his side and entrusted with important tasks?
Therefore, Deng Chengzhai's attitude towards the emperor was destined not to be that of a simple courtier.
He and Chunjia are ministers and emperors, friends, and little friends who grew up together.
This kind of relationship between minister and friend is his qualifications, but the proportion of it also needs to be quite fine-tuned.
For example, at this moment, Deng Chengzhai couldn't just walk away.
He may not have known the details before, so as a foreign minister not to interfere with the relationship between the emperor and the harem, it is to abide by etiquette; now that Yan Yin has said that Chunjia has worked so hard, how can he not speak up? If you don't open your mouth, do you still have an emperor in your heart?
Deng Chengzhai turned serious, stopped, cupped his hands towards Dan Chi, and asked seriously: "Your Majesty is in a bad mood, and it's because of the imperial concubine again?"
"Don't listen to this slave's nonsense." Chunjia glanced at Yan Yin, ordered him to get out, and then said flatly, "I went to see the imperial concubine just now, but I didn't say anything. The imperial concubine is still in the moonlight. Zili, is it possible that you can still make me angry?"
"..." Deng Chengzhai was silent for a while. As a close minister of the emperor, he is of course no stranger to the emperor's favorite concubine. At the summer banquet that year, he met Yun Fenghuang face to face and talked alone for a while, so he knew this best. Bit of cunning machine change. Although they only saw each other in public afterwards, they have been listening to Concubine Min's soaring skyrocketing.
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, and even loved her very much.
It never occurred to the emperor to be so tolerant of Concubine Min Gui.
The imperial concubine is still in confinement, so she can't be angry with the emperor... In this way, the imperial concubine is usually fine, so she can be very angry with the emperor?
Is Xiaoyun so powerful? ? ?
Deng Chengzhai was a little confused for a moment, he collected himself, and said just now: "Then I don't know why Your Majesty is in a bad mood?"
Chunjia said casually: "Uncle Zhaowu is deeply indebted to the emperor, and I don't know if he will return smoothly this time?"
Still the same sentence... If it was a foreign minister, or a foreign minister who did not have such a deep relationship with Chunjia, Deng Chengzhai would take advantage of the situation and let him talk about government affairs, and he should almost resign.
But he weighed his relationship with the emperor, and felt that if he did so, it would appear that he was too cautious, or too cold, and in short, he might not be the emperor's favorite minister and friend.
After all, just looking at Chunjia's love for his concubine, he may not be a truly generous and loving emperor, and he has always been cruel to stumbling blocks, but he is actually easy to talk to his own people. Don't feel bad because of a few words of conflict, and then rely on power and status to crush.
So Deng Chengzhai felt that because of his deep feelings for the emperor, Chunjia would not be really angry because he felt sorry for the emperor.
Even if he was furious on the spot and let him go, there should be compensation afterwards, and his position of trust in the eyes of the emperor would not be shaken.
So he sighed and said: "Your Majesty, I have been lucky enough to serve Your Majesty since I was young. Although there are differences between monarchs and ministers, after many years of getting along, how can I treat Your Majesty with the word 'Superior'? Please tell me, Your Majesty." I don't know how to say: Your Majesty is rich all over the world, and there are so many beauties in the world who are scrambling to present them to you. If the concubine and empress always make your Majesty unhappy, why don't your Majesty start mining again? Counting it, there have been no newcomers in the harem for some years. "
After saying that, he maintained an expression of loving the emperor, but his heart couldn't help beating violently.
After all, if this remark upset Chunjia, and the imperial concubine found out afterwards, he would be finished.
Fortunately, although the emperor is not really very kind, he is still very tolerant of his own people. Hearing this, he didn't get angry, 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'm not happy with you?" Not a person who is greedy for beauty?"
If he only valued beauty, Yunfeng Huangyuan was not the most beautiful either.
Yi Xingen, who is recognized as the number one beauty in the Six Palaces, the emperor remembered, but if you talk about doting... that's all.
"Your Majesty is wise and mighty, so you can't be fooled by mere beauty." Deng Chengzhai was relieved when he heard the words, and at the same time realized that this was a good opportunity.
Chunjia was born in Fuyang King's lineage for several generations. His blood sister, Princess Kunze, was very different from him in age. Even if she was brought to the Imperial Palace to be raised, the siblings were never close.
The emperor was always accompanied by servants before he ascended the throne.
After he ascended the throne, he was accompanied by six companions, including Deng Chengzhai.
But among the six companions, due to various reasons, only Deng Chengzhai, Zheng Fengli, and Yun Qike were finally trusted by the emperor.
Among them, the most advantageous one is actually not Deng Chengzhai, but Yunqike.
As the first son and eldest son of Yi Guogong, his sister entered the palace as a concubine, and his father was loyal to the emperor... It can be said that the family is full of loyalty.
Even if Mrs. Yi Guogong is a bit of a hindrance, Chunjia is not a faint king, and it is impossible to ignore the dedication of loyal ministers because of the back house.
So even if Yunqi's guest is not in front of the imperial court, the emperor will never forget him.
As for Deng Chengzhai, it seemed that the emperor was the closest to him, but in fact he was indeed the one among the six companions 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 has many heirs. Even if he is a good uncle, it is impossible. Leave your own children and grandchildren alone, and come to support Deng Chengzhai, a nephew?
Deng Chengzhai rejected Cui's marriage proposal at the beginning, and rejected many high-ranking and noble daughters. It was obvious that he followed the line of pure ministers, but in fact he had to choose this way after weighing the pros and cons.
This is also the meaning of the emperor, after all, the emperor and the courtiers.
If Chunjia wants to secure the throne, he must have a group of courtiers who only have him in their hearts to support him.
Deng Chengzhai was his default candidate.
But in Deng Chengzhai, it is certainly a good thing that he can be appointed as the future humerus by the young and vigorous emperor. The problem is that there are also high and low strengths between the humerus.
How could a young talent like him, who had coincidentally embarked on a limitless future at such a young age, not want to seek an extremely talented minister?
The disadvantage of being a pure minister is that you can’t form cliques for personal gain, but the advantage is that simplicity is in the emperor’s heart... Jane is also different in the emperor’s heart. Deng Chengzhai quickly calculated in his heart, if he had a chat with the emperor this time about the love of children... and didn’t If the emperor is bored, isn't the status in the emperor's mind very different?
Of course, there are risks in doing so, that is, the emperor will regret it in the future, and probably wants to send him away.
But wealth and wealth are sought in danger. Besides, it is rare for an extremely talented minister to stay in the central government all the time, and it is necessary to go to the local government to hone it for a few years. If he made a mistake this time, he had been in love with the emperor all those years, and he had neither betrayed nor reached the level of meritorious deeds. According to Chunjia's temperament, he would not have chased him to death.
At most, it should be released in advance.
Deng Chengzhai thought about it quickly, and said softly: "Your Majesty favors the noble concubine, but it is rumored that the noble concubine is always pampered. If it is re-selected, maybe after hearing the news, the noble concubine will regret it and turn to be courteous to your majesty?"
He thought to himself that the Son of Heaven was really bewildered by the noble concubine. The noble concubine came from a humble background, and she was full of glory. Even the current improvement of her natal family was given by the emperor.
She is also worthy of falling out with the emperor?
How dare she fall out with the emperor?
It's just a way to invite pets and flattery, but the emperor would like her!
Let's see, 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 imperial concubine Min has to hurry and succumb!
"...The imperial concubine is making a fuss about taking Shiwu to the fiefdom." The emperor didn't completely calm down when Deng Chengzhai asked for an audience, but he just suppressed his emotions. I'm afraid that she will become more determined to go far away, and she may be like Empress Yuan at that time, and I can't even persuade her!"
