Chapter 112 Use
Sure enough, as expected by Shan Guanshi, on the second day, a servant came from the palace to deliver the order.Shan Guanshi was sweating coldly on his head and rushed to meet him. As soon as he met him, he secretly stuffed a big purse in the past.
The servant's eyes flashed, and he took the purse silently.
"It's hard for Sigong to take this trip"
"Don't dare, I still have the will of the sage, so I won't talk to the steward Shan, dare to ask where Mr. Xiang is? Please ask the steward Shan to invite someone out to listen to the order, the sage can wait."
The cold sweat on Shan Guanshi's forehead and back was breaking out layer by layer. Hearing the words, he could only whisper with a bitter face: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Xiang came to sign in yesterday, but he seems to dislike the inconvenientness of the official residence, so let Shan mou try every means to keep him." , but still went out and found another inn to stay.”
The servant said "Oh?", looked at Guanshi Shan with a half-smile, and said: "This is very strange, but you can't afford to leave a good official house, but you have to spend extra money to stay in an inn. This Mr. Xiang is really extraordinary. .”
"Whoever says no, I don't know how Mr. Xiang is willing to live out with his family background."
The words of Shan Guanshi are heartbreaking.
Now anyone who is a little bit well-informed knows that Xiang Yuan was born in a small family, and his family background is quite poor.Shan Guanshi clearly said that Xiang Yuan was a big spender, but in fact he implied that Xiang Yuan might corrupt the law and collect dirty money in his post.
But it is not easy to get a servant who serves the saint in the palace.
The Sigong just smiled when he heard the words, and said: "This is beyond our control."
Asking Xiang Yuan where he lives now, Si Gong hurried away with his people.Shan Guanshi wiped the cold sweat off his head, and heaved a sigh of relief.
Regardless of whether Si Gong believed his words or not, as long as Si Gong received the purse, he would not mention the situation here in front of the saint, as long as he had this, that was enough.
As for whether Xiang Yuan wanted to file a complaint, Shan Guanshi turned cold, remembering that Qingmo went to give a gift last night, but Xiang Yuan put on airs and refused to accept it. Although his words were very polite, Shan Guanshi was still extremely unhappy in his heart.Since he couldn't control whether Xiang Yuan would sue or not, he simply didn't care, and just focused on making good use of his connections. Then, even if Xiang Yuan was really talkative in front of the saint, at least someone would speak for him.
Sage, wouldn't you want to explode just because of such a trivial matter?
Xiang Yuan followed Si Gong along the long passage in the palace, and there had only been a snowfall in the capital, and there were a few servants with low brows and pleasing eyes standing at a distance on both sides of the passage, silently sweeping the snow.
"Master Xiang, the road is slippery after the snow, so watch your feet."
"Thank you Sigong"
Xiang Yuan replied with a smile.
Sigong quickly glanced at Xiang Yuan from the corner of his eye.
Mr. Xiang came to the capital four years ago to report on his duties. He happened to catch a cold and was not serving the saint.But after all, he is also a servant in Renhe Palace, and he is still a senior in terms of seniority, but if there is any disturbance in Fan Palace, disciples and grandchildren will rush to report it.Hearing that the saint attached great importance to this Master Xiang, he insisted on dragging his sick body and looked at it from a distance.Compared with four years ago, Mr. Xiang now has a more composed demeanor, and his every move has his own style.If it weren't for the tenderness of his face, just looking at his demeanor, he would look like a veteran who has been in official career for more than ten years.
Xiang Yuan was wearing a silver-gray cloak outside, and Zhao Shen specially asked him to roll a circle of fox fur around the edge. The fluffy cloak held his face, but it was very warm.
"Sigong, if you don't dislike it, give this to Sigong. Although it's small, it's better than it is useful."
As Xiang Yuan said, it was a small hand stove the size of a palm.I don't know what kind of regulations are inside, but it feels warm when you touch it, but it feels warmer than those bigger ones.
"This thing is good, it's not big in your hand, and it's warm. Mr. Xiang has a heart, and I really don't know how to thank you."
Sigong has seen a lot of good things, just like the white jade pendant stuffed by Mr. Xiang's Zhengjun when he went to announce the decree, it is also a good thing, but no matter how good the things are, they are all dead things. Looking at these things, apart from looking happy in my heart, there is actually no place to show off.On the contrary, this small hand stove, although it looks worthless, is a real thing to send to the heart for these servants who have to wait outside to serve the saint all the year round.
It's just that, even if that's the case, what Sigong is going to do, he doesn't want to change it easily.
The position of the manager of the official house was not fixed, and someone asked him to come to him, wanting him to say something in front of the adults.The rewards that were sent were all high-quality goods, not only rare, but also very valuable, and he looked at them as rare, so he accepted them all.In the end, this matter stumbled with the surname Shan.I don't know what kind of background the surname Shan has gone to. Seeing that the dust is about to settle on his side, the surname Shan appeared and immediately took office.
Now, those items that he carefully put into the warehouse were no longer easy to hold, so he had to endure the pain in his heart and return them.After this period of time, not only did he lose a lot of money, but the most important thing, when the surname Shan did this, it really stepped on his face and made him ashamed.
This happened in the past five or six years, every time Sigong thinks about it, he still gets upset.
Now, the surname Shan finally has such a big deal in his hands, if he doesn't make good use of it, how can he be worthy of his face when he was stepped down by a foot!
If compared with four years ago, Xiang Yuan is more mature and stable, then for Emperor Jing'an, after seeing each other four years later, Xiang Yuan suddenly discovered that Emperor Jing'an was so much older!
Four years ago, Emperor Jing'an, who was still in good spirits and full of spirit, looked pale and could not hide the tiredness in his face this time when he saw him again.
Emperor Jing'an had a detailed discussion with Xiang Yuan about the Hejian Mansion and Jiangnan Mansion for half an hour, and listened to Xiang Yuan's clear and detailed report on each and every incident. He looked satisfied, nodded, and praised Xiang Yuan a few words , praising him for being bold and careful, with proper strategy, fearless in the face of danger, etc. In his words, he admired Xiang Yuan's actions.After the official business was finished, the two monarchs and ministers chatted about trivial matters. Of course, Emperor Jing'an was concerned about Prince Li Qiqian's daily life in Hejian Mansion.Xiang Yuan naturally knew the painstaking efforts that Emperor Jing'an had put into the prince when he had only one son.Even with the addition of another son now, the crown prince's position in Emperor Jing'an's heart cannot be easily shaken.So, let's talk about some interesting events that can reflect the prince's intelligence and liveliness.Xiang Yuan's words were humorous, and his narration was vivid and colorful. Emperor Jing'an was very happy when he heard it, and there was a smile on his face all the time.
"Looking at the saint's complexion, it seems that he is not eating well. For the sake of the safety of the country and the common people, I hope the saint will take care of the dragon's body carefully."
In the end, Xiang Yuan knew that speaking out might offend Emperor Jing'an, but he still said it out.
In his opinion, although Emperor Jing'an also had various problems, as a generation of kings, he was considered kind and generous, and Xiang Yuan did not want to see such a favored person pass away early in his heart.
It seemed that he didn't expect Xiang Yuan to say that, and Emperor Jing'an was obviously taken aback.But after a while, Emperor Jing'an restrained his expression, showing a touch of emotion on his face, and said gently: "The heart of a child is pure and undefiled, which is really rare. Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion in my body, and I won't mess around."
After finishing speaking, as if he had just thought of it, Emperor Jing'an said again: "The prince has been thinking about Congzi since he came back from Hejian Mansion, and he feels very guilty for the death of Congzi who was almost tired. Since he is here, Congzi might as well go to the East Palace to see him." go."
Xiang Yuan's heart trembled at first, and then he quickly relaxed.Standing up, he said very respectfully: "Prince Lao is worried, but it is my fault. If you know that the prince is in deep danger, but are greedy for life and afraid of death and dare not rescue him, I am afraid that you will not be able to get over the hurdle in your heart. And the prince is in danger. It's a big matter, even if I give up my life, I don't have any complaints."
This passage is half-truth and half-false, Xiang Yuan said it without guilt, with an awe-inspiring look, immediately made Emperor Jing'an more satisfied, said hello several times, and called Sigong to come in, and sent Xiang Yuan to the East Palace to meet the crown prince .
Sigong followed Xiang Yuan with low eyebrows, until he was outside the boundary of Renhe Palace, then he straightened up a little, and dared to talk to Xiang Yuan.
Xiang Yuan has understood a sentence since he was a child: the king of Hades is easy to deal with, but the little devil is hard to deal with.
Therefore, Xiang Yuan has always been very polite to Sigong.In this deep palace, getting in safely and getting out safely is the most important thing.
After sending Xiang Yuan to the East Palace and returning, Emperor Jing'an asked casually, and Si Gong answered carefully. He glanced at Emperor Jing'an in a good mood, then carefully apologized and said casually: "Master Xiang is also a nostalgic, but because Four years ago, I stayed at the Fuyunlai Inn, and when I came back now, I still went to Fuyunlai, and it was a coincidence that the rooms were all the same. Mr. Xiang just mentioned a word."
"Oh, the inscription? Hahaha, yes, Congzi's handwriting is very good. Every time I see his handwriting, I feel a little bit better when I look at his handwriting, haha"
Emperor Jing'an smiled while reading the booklet. After a while, he frowned suddenly, called Sigong, and asked, "You said that Xiang Yuan didn't live in the official residence, and he didn't live in the official residence four years ago? What's the matter?"
Si Gong's palms were sweating, he lowered his head even more, his back arched like a big shrimp.
"The old slave is not very clear either. I only heard Mr. Xiang mention it, as if there were no vacant rooms in the official residence when he came four years ago, so he had to live outside. Now that he comes again, he did not live in the official residence."
Emperor Jing'an put down the booklet, thought for a while, called the imperial guards in, and directly ordered: "Go and find out how many people live in the official house every year, and how many officials come to Beijing to report their duties. Be careful and don't disturb others."
The guard understood and took the order to go.
Sigong stood in the corner, lowered his head, and exhaled slowly, slowly.
