Chapter 610: Conspiracy
The so-called reach out and don't hit the smiling person.
Even if the old eunuch understands the current situation in the palace, there are still all kinds of sudden incidents, who is so.
But now that Long Zhengning has shown gentleness towards him, he will not find any unhappiness for himself.
So after hearing Long Zhengning's words, his smile that had never fallen was even more distinct at this moment.
"The old slave is just conveying His Majesty's will, where is it worthy of His Highness's gratitude?"
With the old eunuch's change of words, Long Zhengning, who was still slightly dissatisfied because he was called the king of Ningjun, disappeared from the bottom of his heart because of his dislike for the old eunuch.
Long Zhengning understands that the people who have stayed in this palace for a long time, where can there really be such simple people?
If there really is such a so-called simple person, I am afraid that he would have died early and would definitely not live today.
Therefore, after the dissatisfaction in my heart dissipates, I naturally will not have any different words for the old eunuch, let alone deliberately embarrass a person who is as light as a weight because of this one.
I saw Long Zhengning smiling and instructing the servant girl who was serving on the side: "Go to the internal affairs to get some thanks." ”
The old eunuch who understood what Long Zhengning meant by this sentence still waved his hand with that smiling look, "Your Highness doesn't have to be so polite, the old slave is just passing on a will." ”
But how could Long Zhengning take it seriously because of the old eunuch's half-pushed words?
After a few more polite greetings with the old eunuch, the maid who had been instructed by Long Zhengning had already walked up with a wooden box that was not too big or too small in her hand.
"Your Highness, the things are ready." The maidservant respectfully held the wooden box in her hand, which looked not light, and said with her head half-bowed.
Hearing this, Long Zhengning had a smile on his lips, "I'll hand it over to my father-in-law when I'm ready." Immediately, Long Zhengning turned his attention back to the old eunuch, "Please don't excuse your father-in-law, this is the king's heart." ”
The eunuch who preaches the holy decree himself will receive a thanksgiving gift, which is already equivalent to a tacit act.
So even if the old eunuch receives the gift, it is not an exaggeration.
The prevarication just now is partly due to the fact that he doesn't want to involve too much caution, and it's more polite.
But now, after seeing such a delicate and rather heavy wooden box, don't say that it is the little eunuchs brought by the old eunuch, it is the old eunuch himself, who has passed on the holy decree for so many years, and has never received such a heavy gift in such a time.
The look of the old eunuch and the group of little eunuchs behind him was given to Long Zhengning, who was all in his eyes, and a trace of sarcasm could not help but surge in his flowing eyes.
But it was just a trace of it, and the few eunuchs whose eyes had been falling on the wooden box in the handmaid's hand intentionally or unintentionally naturally did not see Long Zhengning's sarcasm for them who had never seen the world and were greedy.
"Go and hand over the things to my father-in-law." With Long Zhengning's order, the maid who was holding the things immediately handed over the things in her hand, "Thank you, father-in-law." ”
As the wooden box approached, granny
The look in the prisoner's eyes lit up even more, just because as the wooden box approached, he could see the delicacy of the wooden box.
The old eunuch did not let the little eunuchs of his holy queen take it with him, but stretched out his hand and took the wooden box from the handmaiden's hand.
As everyone can see, this wooden box is indeed not light.
At the moment when the wooden box fell from the handmaid's hand to the old eunuch's hand, everyone saw that the old eunuch's hand couldn't help but sink slightly because it completely bore the weight of the wooden box.
Although the old eunuch had already estimated it in his heart, he was still slightly taken aback when the wooden box of this weight fell into his hand.
He didn't expect Long Zhengning to be so generous, and after he had fallen to the throne of the county, he could still give him such a great gift as a weightless palace attendant.
Whether it is or not, whether Long Zhengning, who doesn't say a word about him, has any demands for him, but since he has already taken over so many silver taels, Yu should mention two sentences in public and private.
The old eunuch who was thinking like this then raised his head with a smile and looked at Long Zhengning, who was also smiling in front of him, "Your Highness has lifted the ban now, if there is anything needed in the future, the old slave will not shirk if he can help." ”
And what he wanted was such an effect, Long Zhengning, and the smile on his face suddenly became a little thicker because of this, "Then the king will thank his father-in-law again." ”
Long Zhengning, who is already good at grasping people's hearts, understands that like the old eunuch in front of him, the person who can be bribed with monetary benefits is the best to use and enough to make him pay.
Just because these people, as long as they can get the benefits they need, then if the harm itself is too serious, they can do anything, and it is very convenient.
There is no need to use those henchmen in his own hands, or those chess pieces that he hides in the deep palace and should not be used now.
After such a transaction, seeing the old eunuchs who came over, he led the little eunuchs to turn around and leave the county king's mansion with a smile on his face.
Long Zhengning, who had always had a deep smile, slowly put the smile down and replaced it with a sneer. "The insatiable are the ones who are best controlled." ”
Long Zhengning's series of actions were all given to Lord Lu, who saw it in his eyes, and nodded in agreement with the words, "Your Highness's move is really wise, this father-in-law has a lot of connections in the palace, and His Highness can make it useful for him, which is indeed a great help." ”
Although Lord Lu has always been a little flattering and afraid of Long Zhengning, but in this matter, he really never said anything deliberately flattering.
You must know that in this matter, Long Zhengning's move is not only to win over the old eunuch alone, but is equivalent to making him owe Long Zhengning a request.
And since he could take the wooden box away, it means that he has agreed to Long Zhengning's request.
It is equivalent to promising Long Zhengning, in the future, if it is not too serious, as long as Long Zhengning speaks out, he will help.
And as Lord Lu said, although this old eunuch has never had a unique status like Liufu, and is still deeply trusted by Emperor Tiansheng.
However, precisely because he was not deeply trusted by Emperor Tiansheng, he was naturally not really loyal to Emperor Tiansheng alone.
In a sense, this old eunuch is more useful than Liufu.
"Your Highness, now that you have been grounded, do you want to go and discuss matters with the four princes?"
Hearing this, Long Zhengning narrowed his eyes slightly, and subconsciously stroked his fingers.
After a moment of time, he slowly spoke again: "Cooperation is to be discussed, but now is not the time. ”
Lord Lu, who didn't understand what Long Zhengning meant, couldn't help but be slightly puzzled by this, "Forgive the little minister for being ignorant, what does His Highness mean?" ”
Long Zhengning looked at Lord Lu who was asking, and a smile silently provoked on his lips, "Long Yaoyang's trauma since the last incident will definitely not be lighter than that of this palace, so when the news of this palace has been lifted from the ground, it is uncertain who will be more anxious." ”
Lord Lu, who heard Long Zhengning's words, instantly understood.
Long Zhengning: This is waiting.
He was waiting, whether he could hold back first, or Long Yaoyang couldn't bear to deal with Zhuang Mingyue's thoughts.
Especially after Long Yaoyang suffered such a big loss as Zhuang Mingyue, it is naturally self-evident who will be more anxious.
It is precisely because of this that this will cause Long Zhengning to be in such a hurry even after he has made his own decision in his heart, but he still looks quite leisurely and waiting.
"Your Highness is wise." After understanding what Long Zhengning meant, Lord Lu's face, which was still slightly confused, suddenly regained his smile and sincere admiration.
At least, on top of such a thing as casting a long line to catch a big fish, he thinks that he is definitely not comparable to Long Zhengning.
Under Long Zhengning's arrangement, the news that he had been lifted from his grounding soon spread throughout the imperial city. And among them, there are even some true and false news, constantly teasing people who don't know the truth.
"You mean that Zhuang Mingyue's henchman has been in contact with the king's eldest brother many times now?" Long Yaoyang, who said this, was full of anger between his eyebrows and eyes.
There is no doubt that if Zhuang Mingyue and Long Zhengning were in front of him now, I am afraid that they would have rushed directly to him.
But now those two people, especially Zhuang Mingyue, who caused him to be deceived, are no longer in the capital, even if he has a lot of hatred for this in his heart, he has to suppress them because of this.
The guard who came to deliver the news nodded firmly, "It's true, although the young lady Zhuang is not in the capital now, but she asked her henchmen to come to the door five times three times after the eldest prince was lifted from the grounding, I am afraid that it will be ......."
The latter words, the guard did not finish completely because of hesitation for a while.
And Long Yaoyang, who intersected with Long Zhengning and had a more irritable temper, didn't have so much patience.
He frowned directly and asked directly: "What are you doing!" Speak to the king! ”
The attendant, who was scolded sharply, hurriedly lowered his eyebrows.
