Chapter 653: Return to Beijing (6)
Wang Anmao walked in with his head bowed in small steps, holding three seals in his hands.
There were many eunuchs and palace maids standing outside the hall, some of them secretly looked at Wang Anmao, their eyes flashing.
Five days ago, Liu Congxi, the chief manager in charge of the affairs of the Great Interior, was suddenly sent to the Anbei Labor Army, and Wang Anmao, who was in charge of supervising the forbidden army, was transferred back to the Great Inner to temporarily manage the affairs of the General Administration.
Liu Congxi's departure this time still aroused some people's vigilance and speculation, first, now is the prince's party and the Yiwang, Yang and other forces, the most fierce moment of competition, everyone is very sensitive, any thing happens, will cause some people's great attention and conjecture, second, the decision of the matter is too sudden, this time to Anbei Labor Army, the main person in charge is Zhao Bai'an, the king of Hong'an County, a group of military personnel have been determined as early as half a month ago, until the night before departure, Zhao Zhi suddenly ordered, handed Liu Congxi in, and as a deputy envoy, accompanied Zhao Baian to Anbei.
Zhao Zhi was half lying on the bed, on the coffee table next to him, a bowl of lotus seed porridge did not move at all, after the day of the court, Zhao Zhi on the way back, suddenly fainted, although after the treatment of the imperial doctor, there was no major problem, but since then, Zhao Zhi's meal has decreased day by day, from yesterday to now, Zhao Zhi has almost not eaten.
Mu Gong looked at Zhao Zhi and sighed secretly, his complexion looked no different from before, but he knew that Zhao Zhi's body was declining step by step, and the imperial doctor privately gave Mu Zhi the bottom, and Zhao Zhi had half a year left at most.
Wang Anmao approached and did not speak, but handed the piece in his hand to Mu Gong.
Mu Gong looked at the cover of the concerto, two chapters, one is Li Xun's, and the other is the crown prince Zhao Xun's.
Wang Anmao stood for a while, and saw that Mu Gong had nothing to say, so he bowed his hand, and then turned to leave.
Mu Gong glanced at Wang Anmao's departing back and nodded slightly, this is a smart person, some truths can be understood as soon as he says them, unlike Liu Congxi, who is obsessed with ghosts, no matter how much he says, he can't listen to it.
At this time, Zhao Zhi coughed lightly twice, his brows furrowed, maybe he dreamed of something in his sleep.
Mu Gong hurriedly stepped forward, lightly tightened the cotton blanket on Zhao Zhi's body, and then sat down on the side, closed his eyes and pondered, as for the two movements, he did not open them to see.
Wang Anmao walked out of the inner hall and did not leave in a hurry, but went to another room to drink tea and rest for a while.
"Master, I've been looking for you for most of the day, and it's quiet here."
A beautiful palace maid in her early thirties walked in.
This palace maid's name is Siniang, she is Wang Anmao's concubine, the two have been together for more than ten years, and their relationship has always been very close.
The palace is lonely, the eunuchs and palace maids have entered the palace since childhood, and they can only leave the palace when they are fifty years old, and they have been living alone for decades, and they are too lonely to live alone, so some palace maids and eunuchs who are in love with each other will be fake couples, and their lives and daily life are together, in fact, they are just looking for a companion, of course, there are not many such existences in the palace, not that the eunuchs and palace maids don't want to, but they don't dare to do it, unless they reach a certain level, others don't dare to say anything, even if it reaches the emperor, as long as they don't do too much, they generally just open their eyes and close their eyes, And with them.
Wang Anmao is among the eunuchs, it is one of the best existences, he found a palace maid as his wife, but it is normal, Zhao Zhi also knows, and he didn't say anything.
Wang Anmao drank tea, glanced at Siniang, and said lightly: "You are not good at doing things on duty, why did you come to me?" ”
Siniang stepped forward and hugged Wang Anmao's arm, and said in a greasy voice: "My lord, the palace is so nervous now, you are still in the mood to drink tea here, I am afraid of you." ”
Wang Anmao smiled and said, "Are you afraid of me? Where does this begin? ”
Siniang looked around, saw that there were no outsiders, and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid the emperor won't last long, once the emperor returns, what should we do?" ”
Wang Anmao said softly: "Then what do you think I should do?" ”
"Naturally, it's to find a backer."
Siniang said softly: "Yang Binglin has been looking for me several times, hoping to meet the master, the Yang family is so powerful, with them as our backers, who in the palace dares to touch us?" ”
Wang Anmao gently pushed Siniang away, and said lightly: "I have my own opinions, do your thing." ”
"Sir."
Siniang wanted to say more, but Wang Anmao looked at her coldly, and couldn't say anything, so she could only leave.
Wang Anmao looked at the back of Siniang leaving, his eyes suddenly narrowed, he has been married for more than ten years, what kind of character is Siniang, how could he not know? But Wang Anmao never thought that he, a little palace maid who relied on his own power, would dare to participate in it, and he really didn't know how to write dead words.
Wang Anping clapped his hands, and a eunuch quickly walked in.
"Godfather commands."
"Send someone to keep an eye on Siniang, what she did, who she met, and what she said, I can remember it clearly."
"Yes, godfather."
The eunuch answered, turned and left.
Making arrangements, Wang Anmao closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
Wing King Zhao He earlier won over Wang Anmao with a very generous promise, as the biggest inside line in his palace, in order to promote the Wing King to the throne, Wang Anmao did do a lot of efforts and things, but after the shepherd returned to the palace, he found him and had a long talk, which made Wang Anmao suddenly change his attention.
Eunuchs, there can only be one master, you Wang Anmao is neither Zhao He's descendant, nor his confidant, but because of huge interests, they came together, how can such a relationship be strong? Moreover, you have supervised the forbidden army for many years, promoted many generals, and have many cronies in the army, so it can be said that you have a lot of military power, and Zhao He will hand over such rights to a eunuch who is not a relative? Once he ascends to the throne, the first thing he will do is to get rid of you and replace you with a cronie eunuch by his side.
The reason why Liu Congxi insisted on getting involved was because he was not alone, although he was a eunuch, he had a lot of blood relatives living in this world, he wanted rights and interests, not only for himself, but also for his own family, and you Wang Anmao, an orphan, the heir could not continue, without any concerns, his current status and wealth, wouldn't he be happy to live a happy life, why do you have to get involved in this extremely dangerous situation?
Even if you are given great power and wealth, how much can you Wang Anmao enjoy, or can you pass it on to the next generation?
You die, everything is empty and has no meaning.
Zhao Xun can give you a promise, he ascended the throne, he will not use you, but he will not kill you, take your glory and wealth, live the second half of your life calmly and comfortably.
Everyone has ambitions and desires, but under this premise, you must remain reasonable, once there is no reason, given to you, you can't take it, and you have cheapened others in vain.
Compared with the huge benefits given by Yiwang Zhao He, the price given by Prince Zhao Xun is insignificant, but it is so ordinary, but it makes Wang Anmao feel true and sincere.
