Zhang Ai personally took Lu Jun away in front of many little eunuchs, and many eunuchs were speculating whether Lu Jun was going to be beheaded.Lu Jun also thought so in his heart, after seeing Zhang Ai, he was very frightened, why couldn't this Zhang Ai accommodate him as a small person?
Although he was flustered in his heart, Lu Jun was very calm.He knew in his heart that the gap between him and Zhang Ai was one in the sky and one in the ground, and no matter how Zhang Ai took him, it was not something he could resist.He followed Zhang Ai all the way in the direction of the harem.This direction gradually gave rise to doubts in Lu Jun's heart, but he didn't dare to think about the better, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.The light in Lu Jun's eyes became brighter and brighter, and the previous numbness and sluggishness were all gone, replaced by fox-like cunning, during this time, he completely realized what kind of existence the palace was, and also knew how powerless a small person was in the face of power.There was no need for him to continue pretending.Lu Jun opened his mouth and asked Zhang Ai: "Father-in-law Zhang, I am just a little eunuch in the palace, if before, you thought that I was not suitable to be by the side of the eldest prince and drive me away, then now, why do you have to let me die." ”Hearing Lu Jun's words, Zhang Ai's footsteps paused slightly, and he turned his head to look at the little eunuch who was only up to his shoulders."
Why do you think I'm going to kill you?""
If Gonggong Zhang hadn't let me die, he wouldn't have driven me away from the eldest prince in the first place, wouldn't he.""
So in your heart, are you satisfied with being by the side of the eldest prince......
Not necessarily. ”"In the Great Song Dynasty, Your Majesty is the sky, to put it bluntly, you have worked hard to stay by His Royal Highness the Great Prince, just to rely on the Great Prince to attract His Majesty's attention, right."
After listening to Zhang Ai's words, Lu Jun was speechless, because what Zhang Ai said was exactly what he thought when he was by the side of the eldest prince."
Let's go, your goal has been achieved, and I will see you in the sky."
One sentence stunned Lu Jun.Your Majesty wants to see me.Could it be that His Royal Highness the Grand Prince interceded for him?
Zhang Ai was too lazy to talk to Lu Junduo."
Let's go, don't keep Your Majesty waiting."
Lu Jun nodded and followed Zhang Ai forward.However, along the way, Lu Jun felt like he was stepping on cotton.Isn't he really dreaming?
While thinking about it, the gorgeous palace had appeared in front of his eyes.Step by step, I walked towards the top.The closer he got to the palace in front of him, the faster Lu Jun's heart beated.He took a deep breath and suppressed the throbbing in his heart.In any case, his little fate was saved.Sun Jiawan, who had been waiting outside the vertical arch hall, saw Zhang Ai and hurriedly stepped forward."
Father-in-law Zhang, something happened in the east.This is a secret letter from the secret agent, please present it to Your Majesty quickly. ”As Sun Jiawan spoke, his eyes never left Lu Jun behind Zhang Ai.Sun Jiawan is a person cultivated by Zhang Ai, relying on the arrangement of Tie Xi to form a new spy organization, and his power in the palace is getting heavier and heavier, and of course he knows something about the little eunuch Lu Jun next to the eldest prince.Zhang Ai personally took action to clean up Lu Jun, in Sun Jiawan's opinion, it was completely to warn some people around the eldest prince, otherwise even if a little eunuch had the ability to reach the sky, he would not let Zhang Ai take a second look.This is also the first time Sun Jiawan has seen Lu Jun.He looks good, and his eyes are shrewd, but that's it, a little eunuch like him, if he throws a stone into the palace, he can hit dozens or hundreds.After listening to it, Zhang Ai took the secret letter: "The matter of the Ministry of Maritime Affairs?
”"Yes."
Zhang Ai nodded, and then glanced at Lu Jun behind him."
You wait here, and after Your Majesty has dealt with the state affairs, I will call you again."
Lu Jun nodded yes.After Sun Jiawan, who was standing on the side, heard this, his heart jumped suddenly, does Your Majesty want to see this little eunuch in person?
Sun Jiawan also thought that Zhang Ai was going to send Lu Jun back to His Royal Highness the Grand Prince.Zhang Ai glanced at the Sun family bowl: "You are also waiting outside, if Your Majesty has orders, you will do it." ”"Yes."
Sun Jiawan hurriedly responded.After the explanation, Zhang Ai entered the vertical arch hall with the secret letter.Tie Xi was dealing with the music at the moment, and when he saw Zhang Ai coming in alone, he frowned, didn't he tell Zhang Ai to take Lu Jun?"
What about people?""
Your Majesty, a secret letter has been sent regarding the matter of the Ministry of Maritime Affairs."
Zhang Ai took two steps forward as he spoke, and put the secret letter into Tie Xi's hands with both hands, and then said: "The slave maid thinks that after Your Majesty reads the secret letter, it will not be too late to see Lu Jun again, and he will wait outside the palace gate." ”Tie Xi nodded, then opened the secret letter and looked at it.After reading it, Tie Xi sighed and said, "I know that people's greed is endless, and for the sake of money, I can find something to do if I have nothing to do." ”"But Zhu Qiming has already gone, so there is no need for the imperial court to arrange it, if he can't even solve this little thing, he will pack up his things and retire."
As he spoke, Tie Xi put the secret letter on the bookcase: "Look at it." ”"Yes, Your Majesty."
Zhang Ai said respectfully, and then picked up the secret letter and looked at it.The outbreak of the silver household incident made the merchants and common people of the entire Great Song Dynasty no longer believe the silver households in various places, and no one was willing to deposit their money into it.In order to deal with this situation, many people behind the bank have come up with new methods.They call this Jiaozipu.Jiaozipu, in fact, appeared a long time ago, but it has been suppressed by Tie Xi, and this kind of thing is not allowed to appear in the people, but they didn't expect them to turn their eyes and set their eyes on the merchants who have passes.Merchants can exchange their voyage passes for cash from this Jiaozidian, and of course, as a price, when they return from going to sea, they must hand over the profits to Jiaozipu according to the proportion of the borrowed money.This looks like the two sides are cooperating in trading, and those merchants also think so, so many merchants go to exchange a large amount of silver to prepare goods, or directly buy one or two more ships, ready to make a lot of money at one time.But one merchant accidentally spilled the wine on the paperwork, and a line appeared on it, and when the caravan returned, in addition to the promised profits, he would return the money he had lent them with interest.When the merchant saw this text, he panicked completely, and hurriedly contacted the others, only to find that after everyone spilled wine on their papers, such a line appeared.The businessmen were in a hurry at the moment and reported the Jiaozi shop to the government.Now, this matter has become very big.After Zhu Qiming heard about this, he couldn't cry or laugh, quite helpless, he hadn't even come out of the sea yet, and a trade certificate to the sea had been out twice, and now Zhu Qiming has gone to the official behind the shop.After reading it, Zhang Ai said, "Your Majesty, what's the difference between this and robbing money?"
”"It doesn't matter, you arrange for spies to keep an eye on the Liu Mansion now, I want to see who gave them so much courage.""
Yes, Your Majesty."
Zhang Ai hurriedly responded."
Let Lu Jun come in.""
Yes, Your Majesty."
Zhang Ai said, and slowly withdrew from the vertical arch hall.Outside the vertical arch hall, Sun Jiawan and Lu Jun stood together.Sun Jiawan kept looking at Lu Jun, but Lu Jun lowered his head and never looked at Sun Jiawan."
It is said that His Royal Highness the Great Prince will never forget it in His Majesty because of your affairs."
When Lu Jun heard this, he whispered: "Slave, slave maid can't understand my father-in-law's words......"
"I really can't understand, or I can't pretend to understand?"
”"The slave really doesn't understand."
Lu Jun didn't dare to look up.Zhang Ai didn't care about him, because he thought that Zhang Ai was standing too high, but Sun Jiawan was different, if he saw the threat from Lu Jun, he would really kill someone.Before there is no power, in the face of power, only humility can live.This is the truth that Lu Jun has learned in the past six months.After Sun Jiawan saw Zhang Ai come out, he hurriedly trotted up to meet him, his expression was very respectful, and he was not arrogant when facing Lu Junshi at all."
Grandpa Zhang, what did Your Majesty say?""
What should you do continue to do, the speed of expansion must be fast, the manpower must be trustworthy to be absorbed, and also, let the people who can be used by your subordinates now go to the Liu Mansion to keep an eye on it, Your Majesty wants to know the news of the Liu Mansion.""
Yes, Grandpa Zhang, I'll arrange it."
Zhang Ai nodded, and then looked at Sun Jiawan, who wanted to speak with some doubts: "What, what else do you not understand." ”"Grandpa Zhang, why did Your Majesty want to see this little eunuch."
After hearing this, Zhang Ai took a deep breath, then glanced back at the guards at the door of the Vertical Arch Palace, and said in a low voice: "How did I teach you before, you should know, I will naturally tell you, if you don't know, just shut up.""
What, can't wait to replace me?"
After Sun Jiawan heard Zhang Ai's words, he hurriedly knelt down: "Father-in-law Zhang, don't be angry, I don't dare anymore." ”Zhang Ai looked at Sun Jiawan and sighed: "Go down." ”"Yes, yes......"
Sun Jiawan kept his head down in reply, and only after saying yes a few times did he get up and leave.Zhang Ai looked at the Sun family bowl that he had single-handedly built, and sighed, Sun Jiawan's performance made him very disappointed.However, he didn't have the idea of replacing the Sun family bowl.First, because Sun Jiawan has already been remembered by Tie Xi, and secondly, a new secret agent department is being formed, and replacing him at this time will definitely delay Tie Xi's plan, which is absolutely impossible.In the end, Tie Xi needs people like Sun Jiawan around him, who are loyal, obedient, and have the means.As the closest eunuch to the emperor, Zhang Ai must consider the emperor, and as for his likes and dislikes, it doesn't matter.When Sun Jiawan first entered the palace, he never thought that he would one day have a time when he would rise to the top.The day was getting closer, but it made him nervous, so he became more and more troubled.Sun Jiawan seems to be undoubtedly Zhang Ai's successor, but he knows that he and Zhang Ai are different, when Tie Xi was young, Zhang Ai was taking care of him, and the relationship between the two could not be described in one sentence at all.
