Chapter Sixteen
Chapter 16: Good luck with everything ()
The fire swept across the entire Liluan Palace!
The flames rose and fell like thousands of jumping elves, swallowing the entire embroidery building from bottom to top, leaving no residue behind.
Early the next morning, the Ministry of Works sent someone to investigate the scene, and nothing was found except for a few burnt tiles.
Fortunately, the place where the embroidery building is located is very empty, surrounded by flat ground made of white stone, so the fire cannot spread, so the entire palace has not burned.
Late at night, Yi Tusheng came to the West Warm Pavilion of Ganqing Palace with the five-year-old little princess.
In order to wait for Yi Tusheng's news, Zhu Youjian was very diligent tonight, sitting on the dragon chaise pretending to review the memorial! Seeing Yi Tusheng coming in with a sleeping child, he stood up and asked puzzledly: "What's going on?"
Yi Tusheng knelt down on the ground, put the child aside and said, "Fortunately, the woman has been burned to ashes."
Zhu Youjian rubbed his hands and smiled, "I finally let out a sigh of anger for the mother! By the way, who is that child?"
Yi Tusheng looked at the sweet little princess sleeping and said seriously: "Your Majesty, I have taken the initiative to bring the little princess back!"
It was like a basin of cold water poured on his head. Zhu Youjian's horse face was long and said sternly: "Don't you let you kill the roots? What kind of little princess is she? She is a wild planter."
Yi Tusheng said: "Your Majesty, the person you hate is Li Xuanshi. Now that she is dead, your hatred should be gone. The slave brought this girl back, it is entirely for you, Your Majesty!"
Zhu Youjian said, "It's for me again? Tell me, why are you doing it for my law?"
Yi Tusheng said: "Your Majesty, think about it. The ministers all know that you and Li Xuanshi have a grudge. This time, the fire broke out in the palace for no reason. Many people will doubt Your Majesty. If they don't say it, they will inevitably be disrespectful to the emperor. The slave brought this girl back to the fortress of the people in the world."
Zhu Youjian looked at the girl and nodded, "How to block it?"
Yi Tusheng said concisely: "Treat this woman with great kindness! To show Your Majesty the emperor's grace, be in the world, and not to do anything for himself!"
Zhu Youjian laughed and said, "Xiao Yizi, Xiao Yizi, I didn't expect you to be a civil and military genius. It's so aggrieved that you are a little eunuch. You can kill people and give advice. I keep my promise and appoint you as the eunuch, the leader of the Siyuan Bureau, and... also serve as the Jinyiwei of the Jinyiwei of the Ministry of Punishment!"
"I thank the Lord for your kindness!"
Zhu Youjian helped him up and said, "Xiao Yizi, the elixir you gave me a few days ago is indeed amazing. Concubine Feng is very satisfied. Are there any?"
Yi Tusheng smiled and said, "Although I have a prescription for this kind of magic pill, I can't find many precious medicinal materials, such as Polygonum multiflorum, Tianshan Snow Lotus, etc. I have a few pills here. The emperor saves some use!"
Zhu Youjian smacked his lips and said, "Xiao Yizi, this is not possible. You must find a way for me. If I can prepare medicine, I will give you a great official!"
The two of them became more and more excited as they talked, and they actually forgot the doll on the ground. It was almost dawn. Yi Tusheng remembered, "Your Majesty, where is this girl placed?" Zhu Youjian was stunned.
Yi Tusheng went up to offer advice again: "Just say vaguely that the girl was robbed by the eunuch who put out the fire. The fire scene was very chaotic at that time and no one would notice it. Then, you just give an imperial edict and arrange it properly!"
Zhu Youjian said like a puppet: "Right, right, draw the purpose, draw the purpose! How to draw the purpose?"
Yi Tusheng had already thought about it, and deliberately pondered for a while before saying, "Ji Luan Palace was burned to death by the fire. Long live the old evil, be kind and kind, and specially named the daughter of the Selected Service as the princess!"
Zhu Youjian praised: "No, not bad, just as you said, I will draw an order immediately. What is the name of this little princess?"
Yi Tusheng said: "Your Majesty can give you a name, but you might as well call it Phoenix, Phoenix ashes as fire, okay?"
Zhu Youjian licked his lips with a smile and said, "Okay, very good, not bad!"
The next day, Zhu Youjian deliberately owed his illness and failed to attend court, saying that he would stop court for three days in order to mourn the emperor.
Yi Tusheng announced the imperial edict on behalf of the emperor. The first was to appoint him as the eunuch, the leader of the Siyuan Bureau, the eunuch, Jinyiwei, and the second was to announce the death of Li Xuanshi, and to appoint his daughter as Princess Phoenix. He specially ordered the prefect of Shuntian to choose 500 acres of fertile land in the capital, as the princess's fief, and to reward 10,000 taels of gold as a pension.
Such a young girl can't spend anyway. It's unknown whether the Ministry of Revenue sends it to you. No one will care about the future. If you do your best, you will be fine.
After resigning from the court, the civil and military ministers praised the emperor as a benevolent monarch and did not miss the old evils. Yao, Shun, Yu and Tang. Yi Tusheng was secretly proud of his heart when he heard this.
Just as he was inflating himself, someone suddenly shouted behind him: "Xiao Yizi, come here!"
When Yi Tusheng heard this, his legs became weak first. The sound was not Wei Zongxian or the same!
"Eunuch Wei, I'm here to meet Eunuch Wei, Eunuch Wei is lucky and Jin'an, Long live Eunuch Wei." Yi Tusheng lay on the ground in front of the civil and military officials of the court, kowtowing Wei Zongxian, without any shame, and was talking nonsense, making Wei Zongxian's face turn blue and white.
"Bastard, what long live? Long live is used to call the emperor, a country bumpkin, don't understand the rules?" Wei Zongxian cursed.
The ministers next to them didn't hear anything they heard. They pretended to be tinnitus and deaf, and no one dared to drift away.
Yi Tusheng said with a proud face: "Dadlock, the slave will be unrestrained only because he thinks about the benefits of his father-in-law to his servant every day. Don't be surprised."
Wei Zongxian blamed him, but in fact he was very helpful to Yi Tusheng's actions. He sneered and said, "Get up, forgive me for being innocent. I have some serious things to ask you. Come with me."
Wei Zongxian brought Yi Tusheng to the court room, which was where the ministers were waiting for the morning court. At this time, they retreated and everyone returned home, and there was no one left.
Wei Zongxian sent four confidant Jinyiwei to guard the door, and no one of them could fly in.
"Tell me the truth, what happened to the fire last night!" Wei Zongxian had a golden nail on his little finger with his right hand. The elder was like Empress Dowager Cixi. He picked up the tea bowl, took a sip and put it down.
Yi Tusheng lowered his waist and said, "Dadfather-in-law, that fire was released by the emperor! Don't spread this, otherwise the slave's head will be gone. If the slave's head is gone, no one will be so loyal to you in the future!"
Wei Zhongxian laughed and said, "Little bastard, I am actually trying your loyalty. As for that fire, I have already figured it out!"
Yi Tusheng's face turned pale because of fright, and he quickly confessed: "Dadfather-in-law, I released that fire!"
Wei Zhongxian nodded with satisfaction and said, "Xiao Yizi, I will tell you that there is nothing in the world that the Jinyiwei does not know? Even if the Jinyiwei does not know, the factory guards also know, and the factory guards do not know. Do you understand?"
Yi Tusheng said nonsense: "Eunuch Wei has infinite magic power and great magical powers, he knows everything, is merciful, no, great wisdom and courage, and is invincible in the world!"
Wei Zhongxian said domineeringly: "Okay, okay, I know you are loyal. I ask you, has Your Majesty been to the Queen's Kunning Palace these days?"
Yi Tusheng smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, the emperor has been spending the night with Concubine Feng these days!"
Wei Zongxian closed his eyes and said slowly: "Have you ever been here?"
Yi Tusheng said: "No, Your Majesty has been very busy these days and no one has ever seen him."
Wei Zongxian was stunned and said in confusion: "What are he busy with?"
Yi Tu said foolishly: "Busy in doing work and being a carpenter!" Wei Zongxian thought to himself, I thought he was busy with national affairs, so he scared me.
"Okay, okay, I'm leaving, you can watch here. Fifty taels of gold here are a reward for you. A Jinyiwei family is nothing. Be careful to follow me and give you a commander in the future!" Wei Zongxian said while lifting the slit of the government and stepping out the vermilion threshold.
Yi Tusheng looked at Wei Zongxian's back and sneered: "Old eunuch, sooner or later, let you kneel in front of me and say the same disgusting words, I will not be the lowest." He put the gold in his pocket and returned to the Qianqing Palace to report to the emperor.
