"Is that you?"

Xu Ping had just sat down in the living room when Gao Daquan led a young man in. Xu Ping looked at it, it was not Zhou Chui'an who he had seen near Panlou Street a few days ago.

Zhou Chuian stepped forward to salute: "I've seen officials." ”

Xu Ping gave up his seat and ordered Gao Daquan to serve tea.

Zhou Chuian sat down, and Xu Ping asked, "I don't know what to do with me?" ”

Zhou Chuian said: "Two days ago, two troublesome soldiers met Captain Yang of the Imperial City Division and were dealt with by military law. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Chuian saw that Xu Ping's face was indifferent, and he didn't have any expression at all, and then said: "These two soldiers have always been arrogant and lawless, and they threatened to embarrass the small shop near Panlou Street a few days ago. Don't hide it from the officials, Tan Erniang, who opened a shop there, was an old acquaintance in Lingnan when she was young, and later lived in the capital with no food and clothing. Fortunately, I met Miss Duan, so we opened a small shop together. I heard that Miss Duan was taken care of by officials when she was in Yongzhou, so I was asked to thank her. ”

Xu Ping looked at Zhou Chui'an, didn't say anything for a while, and finally said to the tall man next to him: "Go out and take a look, is the horse tied outside?" ”

Gao Daquan agreed, turned around and walked out of the living room.

Zhou Chui'an watched Gao Daquan leave, turned his head and looked at Xu Ping staring at him, and hurriedly got up and saluted: "I didn't say anything about the small words just now, but in fact, the head of the palace Shi Quanbin wanted to discuss things with the officials, saying that they would meet in that small shop." ”

Xu Ping nodded, just let Zhou Chui sit quietly, and didn't say anything more.

Gao Daquan came back, Zhou Chui'an said a few more gossips, and saw that Xu Ping was not very enthusiastic, so he said goodbye and left.

Xu Ping couldn't be enthusiastic, Duan Yunjie's matter shouldn't have been found at home, even if it was an excuse, he couldn't talk about these things in his house. It doesn't matter what Lin Suniang thinks, at least it is his respect for the family.

As for Shi Quanbin, if there is a chance for the two of them to talk about something together, this kind of private meeting is avoidable, so as not to tell the truth. Everyone wants to be promoted, but relatively speaking, Xu Ping is not very enthusiastic. It is best to rely on political achievements to be promoted, otherwise, Xu Ping does not want to deliberately drill camps, and would rather live his rich and prosperous life.

Thinking about it, since Shi Quanbin asked someone to bring the message, there must be something urgent, and it is still not good not to go.

Xu Ping didn't eat dinner, said to Lin Suniang, and took Gao Daquan out of the house. The two of them did not take the main road and the royal street by the Bianhe River, passed from the state of Xiwazi, and bypassed the imperial city from the west.

When we arrived near Panlou Street, it was already dark and the lights were bright everywhere.

Xu Ping stopped in an inconspicuous place and asked Gao Daquan to go to the small shop to see if Shi Quanbin had arrived.

After a while, Gao Daquan came back and said to Xu Ping: "Official, the chief of the stone pavilion has been waiting there with a small yellow door." ”

Xu Ping took Gao Daquan and walked to the front of the shop unhurriedly.

Duan Yunjie and Tan Erniang were greeting customers in front of the store, and when they saw Xu Ping, they smiled and said, "Why are you free today and transferred here?" You might as well sit down and have a drink with a load of wine just now. ”

Xu Ping said: "It's okay." I was going to go to Fanlou to hang out, and I remembered that you have Yongzhou food here, but there are no other places, so I came over and brought some over. ”

As he spoke, he entered the store with Gao Daquan, and saw Shi Quanbin with a small yellow door there. Xu Ping stepped forward to greet Shi Quanbin, so he asked Gao Daquan and Xiao Huangmen to sit aside, and sat down opposite Shi Quanbin.

Seeing that there was no one left and right, Shi Quanbin sighed: "Yunxing, I know I shouldn't have called you here at this time, but now there is really a tricky matter, I don't know what to do." ”

Xu Ping said: "The cabinet chief doesn't have to think too much, I know about Xu Shen's money, don't look at him for money, in fact, don't say millions of dollars, even if it is ten or eight, it is difficult to cast." ”

"It's not about minting money, where am I still in the mood to worry about that!"

Xu Ping saw Shi Quanbin's sad face, and heard that it was not because he was competing with Yan Wen for the limelight, so he was curious, and asked Shi Quanbin: "In addition to this, what else can be done in the palace to make the pavilion chief trouble?" ”

Shi Quanbin looked left and right, and saw that there was no one in the store, so he lowered his voice and said to Xu Ping: "It's the queen." I've heard that there's been a rumor going out, but haven't you heard? ”

Xu Ping was taken aback: "What's the matter with the queen?" I don't have any news here! ”

"The queen and the two beauties made a temperament, and they didn't move their hands and feet, and they slapped them."

Xu Ping glared at him, and carefully sorted out Li Shi Quanbin's words.

Since the Empress Dowager Liu went, the beauty and Yang beauty in the palace have been favored, and Xu Ping has heard of this. In fact, there were no secrets in the palace at this time, not only Xu Ping had heard of it, but also the ministers in the court had heard of it. is even a little old-fashioned, such as Yanzhou Shijie, who had a relationship with Xu Ping back then, and a jinshi in the eighth year of Tiansheng, and also accused Zhao Zhen of being lewd. Although the emperor didn't say anything about Shi Jie, the bad impression must have been left, and Shi Jie's official road in the future will be ruined, and it is difficult to say that it has nothing to do with it.

But no matter what, Zhao Zhen did not delay the government, and everyone only regarded this matter as a lace news, and did not go to their hearts. At least the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee did not cause a storm because of this matter, and the emperor's private affairs are still private matters after all.

But I didn't expect that after a few months, this will all start?

Xu Ping said to Shi Quanbin: "A slap is nothing, right?" Although the queen is a little anxious, it is not a big deal. ”

Shi Quanbin sighed deeply: "It's nothing, but the official family protects the beauty, and this slap hit the official family." ”

"What?!"

Xu Ping was taken aback, and couldn't help but raise his voice a little, fortunately, there were no outsiders in the store.

"The official family didn't go to their hearts, and it didn't fit Yan Wenying's instigation to use this to abolish the queen."

Xu Ping only felt that his brain couldn't turn around, if it was a private matter for the emperor to like which woman in the palace was, then it was not a private matter to abolish the queen. The queen is not only in charge of the harem, but also in the world, not just the emperor's wife.

It's not right to beat people, but because of this, it's still over, and the queen is part of the imperial power.

"Yan Wen should be an internal servant, no matter how much he is favored, can he speak in such a big matter?"

"If there is the support of foreign ministers—"

Shi Quanbin didn't say it, and he didn't need to say it. Yan Wen shouldn't be able to, isn't there still Lu Yijian? As for why Lu Yijian had a grudge with Empress Guo, Xu Ping didn't know, but as long as Yan Wenying represented Lu Yijian's meaning, this matter would be a big deal.

Such a big thing after the abolition, in this era, even the emperor alone can't do it, and there must be the support of the ruler. With Lu Yijian's strength to control half of the political affairs hall, he can really get things done.

However, Xu Ping didn't want to get involved in this kind of political whirlpool, it was really harmful to himself, so he thought for a while and asked Shi Quanbin: "Then what does Your Majesty mean-"

"The official family is a little excited, but it hasn't been decided yet." Shi Quanbin looked annoyed, "Yunxing, you also know that I have been by the queen's side for many years, and once the queen has an accident, I can't help but be implicated." ”

From the day Xu Ping met Shi Quanbin, he followed the emperor and handled some of the queen's chores at the same time. It is impossible for the palace attendants to be by the emperor's side every day, and they always have to bring some ministry, and Shi Quanbin is unlucky to be doing things in the queen's palace all the time.

"It's useless to think about this kind of thing. If you want me to say, if you can talk to the queen, let her go to the Empress Dowager Yang more often. In the final analysis, the affairs in the palace still have to listen to the ideas of the Empress Dowager Yang, and others can't be the masters. ”

Shi Quanbin only smiled bitterly when he heard Xu Ping say this.

This truth is understood, but Queen Guo has always been close to Empress Dowager Liu before, and her temperament is strong, how can she ask for someone at this time? He would rather be kicked out of the palace than bow to the emperor.

Shi Quanbin is only in charge of the miscellaneous affairs of the queen's palace, and he is not a close confidant of the queen, just mentioning it, and he can't persuade deeply.

Seeing Shi Quanbin's appearance, Xu Ping remembered that it was not easy for the two to have intersected for many years, and it was not easy to let go, so he thought for a while and said: "If you want me to say, the cabinet chief doesn't have to go to his heart." Even if something happens to the queen, you won't be implicated much, if you don't stay in the palace well, it's better to take the initiative to ask to be released from the palace. If you do something outside the palace, there will always be a day of redemption. ”

This is also the only way Xu Ping can come up with, the family affairs of the Son of Heaven, what do the little people mix? (To be continued.) )
