Qiyang County is two or three thousand miles away from the capital, to say the least, such a long distance, even if the decree is announced, it should be taken care of by Cheng Xuanjian, one of the eight eunuchs, there is no reason to let Dong Cheng, the young eunuch who is the attendant in the hall, personally run this trip, and let him come to guard the mausoleum.

Li Xin pulled Dong Cheng to the main hall of the Qi family's compound, the two sides sat down, Li Xin poured Dong Cheng a cup of tea with his own hands, and asked with a serious face: "Father-in-law Dong, what happened in the capital?" ”

Dong Cheng glanced at Li Xin gratefully, took the cup of tea, and then sighed: "It's our family's carelessness, Your Majesty asked our family to place the first emperor's spiritual seat in the temple, our family...... put the spiritual position of the Empress Dowager Xuan on the side of the first emperor, and was grabbed by that Xiao Zheng and sued in front of His Majesty, saying that our family despised the Empress Dowager......"

Empress Dowager Xuan is the original queen of Chengde Son of Heaven, she died of illness early, and did not leave an heir, and the Son of Heaven of Chengde did not set up a queen later, so the later princes were not sons-in-law, after Chengde Son of Heaven went, Empress Xuan naturally became the queen mother, according to the rules, placed on the side of the emperor's spiritual seat, there is no problem.

But......

When today's son has a biological mother, the original concubine Niangniang has now become the queen mother, so Dong Cheng is a little taboo to do this.

According to Xiao Zheng's meaning, the side position of the first emperor should be temporarily vacant and left to the current queen mother, although it is not in line with the etiquette system, but it is very in line with the thoughts of today's saints.

Therefore, the Son of Heaven was a little displeased with Dong Cheng, and just as he was about to edict Li Xin to return to Beijing, he threw this job to Dong Cheng, out of sight and out of mind.

After Li Xin heard this, he shook his head and sighed: "Father-in-law Dong is too sincere, even if this kind of thing is not sure, at least ask ...... it."

Dong Cheng had a bitter face: "Master Hou, our family asked Your Majesty in advance, but Your Majesty didn't respond......"

Nonsense, this kind of sensitive matter, if the Son of Heaven doesn't respond positively, his attitude is already obvious, okay?

Li Xin shook his head and said, "Gonggong Dong should not ask Your Majesty, but Gonggong Chen." ”

Gonggong Chen is Chen Ju, and now he is guarding the tomb in the imperial tomb of the first emperor, but although Chen Ju is no longer in the center, he is still the eunuch of the inner eunuch, and he is still the highest-ranking eunuch among the eight eunuchs for the time being.

Dong Cheng's face was slightly red, and he sighed: "After that incident, our family has always felt a little sorry for my godfather, and I have always been embarrassed to see him..."

Li Xin took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Gonggong Dong thinks about it, Gonggong Chen will not blame you for that incident anyway, you are his righteous son, and Xiao Zheng has nothing to do with him, if you can often go to the mausoleum of the first emperor to see him, he will probably be able to give you a lot of help." ”

Chen Ju has been in charge of the Forbidden Palace for nearly 20 years, whether it is the connections in the court or the ability to be a person and do things, he is much higher than Dong Cheng, if he can point out Dong Cheng, he can make Dong Cheng endless.

Dong Cheng's eyes lit up, and then dimmed.

"If Master Hou could be in the capital and mention a few words to our family earlier, our family would not have fallen to this point today."

He let out a long sigh and said slowly: "Godfather said before, saying that our family did not have the life of being a eunuch, and our family was quite unconvinced at that time, but now it seems that he is an old man......

Originally, Li Xin should not and could not participate in the affairs of the inner court, but if he could get acquainted with the young eunuchs and even the eunuchs of the inner court, it would be of great benefit to his political career, so he would say so much to this Dong Cheng.

Li Xin smiled: "This matter is not in a hurry, no matter what, Gonggong Dong is still the young eunuch of the inner prison, and there is always a chance." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Dong Cheng and said, "Father-in-law Dong, Your Majesty is in such a hurry to call me back to Beijing, but what's the matter?" ”

"It's not clear to our family what the specific matter is, Your Majesty just asked Lord Hou to return to Beijing as soon as possible......"

Li Xin frowned and asked, "Then Father-in-law Dong will tell me, what happened in the capital during my absence in the capital?" ”

Dong Cheng nodded and said, "Ningling Marquis Ye Luan, I left the capital a few days ago and went to be a deputy general in the Zhenbei Army. ”

This is a normal thing, before the mutiny, one of the conditions that the Wei Wangfu promised the Ye family was to let Ye Xuan out of Beijing, and now Taikang Tianzi can be said to have fulfilled his promise.

He nodded and asked, "What about Ye Mao?" ”

Dong Cheng shook his head and said, "The little grandfather of the Ye family didn't make it out of Beijing. ”

This is the new emperor's dishonesty, when Li Xin talked to the Ye family on behalf of the Wei Palace, he said that Ye Mao could also leave Beijing, and now Ye Lan went to the north, but Ye Mao did not go.

However, it is also possible that Ye Sheng did not let his grandson go.

Dong Cheng lowered his head and continued: "Besides, Chong Shuai was given the title of Taibao by His Majesty, and he stepped down from his position in the forbidden army some time ago and went back to Yunzhou, and the grandson of the Chong family, Chong Heng, ......."

Speaking of this, Dong Cheng paused.

Without waiting for him to speak, Li Xin had already laughed and said, "Kind of Heng Ren Qianniu Wei Zhonglang General?" ”

Dong Cheng took a deep breath, got up and said to Li Xin: "Master Hou, our family admires it." ”

In fact, there is nothing that God does not calculate, the Yamen of Qianniuwei was set up in order to balance Yu Linwei, this kind of critical position, the Son of Heaven will not have many choices, first of all, the Pingnan Hou Mansion is definitely not good, and the other Son of Heaven is not trusting enough, as for the Ye family and the Hou family, they are almost wearing a pair of pants with Li Xin, and they can't achieve the purpose of restraining Yu Linwei.

Therefore, there are only the farmers who rest with the country.

For more than 100 years since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, from Emperor Taizu to Emperor Chengde, seven generations of the Son of Heaven have trusted the Seed Family very much, and the current Taikang Emperor will also trust the Seed Family very much, after all, the Seed Family currently has no motive and possibility of betrayal.

"It's not a god calculation, just guess."

Li Xin squinted his eyes and said: "Mu Ying and I are not in the capital, if I don't guess wrong, the number of Qianniuwei now has surpassed that of Yulinwei." ”

Dong Cheng lowered his head and did not speak.

Li Xin added a cup of tea to Dong Cheng, and said with a smile: "Dong Gonggong continued. ”

Dong Cheng nodded and said, "There are changes in the three provinces, and the six Shangshu have been replaced...... Huan Xiang ...... Thanksgiving. ”

Li Xin's face changed slightly.

Once the Son of Heaven is a courtier, after each generation of new Son of Heaven ascends the throne, he will rearrange the personnel of the provincial department, which is a normal thing, but even now, the new emperor has only been on the throne for more than three months...... Too anxious.

As for the exchange of the quota of the six Shangshu, there is no problem, after all, in the Chengde Dynasty, four of the six Shangshu were held by several princes, so it was natural to choose the Shangshu again at this time.

Li Xin asked Dong Cheng in detail about the specific candidates for the six departments.

Among them, the military department is still Li Shen, and the rest of the books are usually promoted by Zuo Shilang.

There is no problem with this, but Huan Chu dismissed the prime minister, which made Li Xin a little unexpected.

This upright old man once mentioned a few words to Li Xin, and Li Xin went to pay homage to him during the New Year.

Li Xin and Dong Cheng have been talking for most of the hour, but after listening to the major events in the capital, Li Xin still didn't hear any clues.

He slowly looked in the direction of the capital, and there were some doubts in his heart.

His Royal Highness the former King of Wei, what did you do when you called me back?
