Chapter 38 What to eat to make up for what!
Zhou An was rewarded again!
This time, it was a bit natural to others! It was a matter of private hiding weapons in the palace, which must be a matter of rebellion. Even if it was not rebellion, it would be a rebellion! This matter was discovered after Zhou An became the supervisor of the Zhi Palace. It can be said that it was a contribution to the pie falling from the sky!
In this regard, others will not gossip about this guy's luck and express his envy, jealousy and hatred.
However, when it comes to Zhou An's reward, the most important reward is not the promotion of the fourth-rank eunuch, nor the money, but the waist card of the Ganwu Palace and the permission to walk in front of the palace. With the waist card of the Ganwu Palace, Zhou An can enter and exit the Ganwu Palace alone and allow him to walk in front of the palace alone, so he can go to Qianyuan Palace alone to meet the Emperor Shenzhao!
This kind of favor is enough to make all eunuchs in the inner court, except Kanglongi!
Because even the Second General Manager Gu Huaiyong could not go to Wu Palace at will without the summoning of the Empress!
Zhou An is not the person around the empress, but he is already infinitely close!
That night, something big happened in the prison!
The commander of Weining Guard, Xue He, died after he cut off his meridians!
He committed suicide!
Of course, he killed him. He was already a fool and would not commit suicide on his own initiative. However, the outside world could not know how Xue He died, but only he knew that he committed suicide!
...
This "private weapon hiding case" is very involved. In the days after Zhou An was rewarded, although there was no major turmoil, people were arrested almost every day, including the four guards of the inner court, the 12th supervisors of the inner court, the fourth department, and the eighth bureau. Not only the guards of the inner court, the eunuchs, and even some female officials were arrested!
Since the "private weapon case" was released, the situation has changed and the atmosphere has completely changed!
According to the plan discussed by the Empress, Kang Longji, Zhou An and others, in order not to stimulate internal turmoil, this matter must be taken slowly, and some people must be arrested and then released!
Only the management of the four guards in the inner palace were completely replaced and transferred. The new commander of the Weining Guard was transferred from the Shence Army. The entire Weining Guard was "blood-slaughtered" by the upper and lower levels, and it became Gu Huaiyong's control.
The other three guards were only arrested, and there was no reason. Some of the arrested people were indeed involved in treason, while others were deliberately arrested and confused!
No one knows what the Shen Ce Army found and what the Empress knew.
The empress asked to arrest people, and the Shen Ce Army arrested them directly!
Because of deliberately arresting some of the wrong things, some people with ulterior motives feel that the empress has only grasped some of the situation or was misled.
Of course, the most important thing is that Gu Huaiyong is fine!
After searching, I couldn't find Gu Huaiyong. Among the first people to be arrested, only the commander of Weining Gu Huaiyong was directly obeyed Gu Huaiyong. Gu Huaiyong was not arrested, so naturally it was believed that Xue He did not confess Gu Huaiyong and took it to the death!
Xue He has committed suicide and seems to have died without evidence!
But what they didn't know was that it was a soft knife to sharpen people!
The reason why Gu Huaiyong is so important is that he has been in charge of the Imperial Horse Prison for more than ten years. He has enough to be the chief manager with his qualifications, but there is a Kanglongji who can be called a god. Therefore, since the Empress of Shendu ascended the throne, until the Empress of Shendu passed away and the Empress of Shenqiu ascended the throne, he has always been the second manager.
He has unimaginable connections in the palace, the 12th Superintendent, the Fourth Division, the Eighth Bureau, and the Four Guards of the Grand Inner Palace. There are too many people involved with him, and many have even become his confidants. His power is like a net covering the entire inner court.
Although once Gu Huai is in trouble and can respond to his rebellion, there will not be too many people who will take the initiative to participate in the rebellion because they are worried that the past will be exposed, even a small group of people will cause chaos because they are spread throughout the inner court!
What the Empress is doing now is to interrupt some key nodes in Gu Huaiyong’s website!
Gu Huaiyong could not directly control so many people, so he could only rely on some confidants, such as the dead Xue He who controlled Weiningwei through Xue He. Xue He was dead. Although there were still people in Weiningwei who obeyed him, there was a new commander who suppressed him, and the call from Xue He was missing, Gu Huaiyong's control over Weiningwei was greatly reduced!
Now that the Weining Guard management is arrested, the transferred ones are transferred, Gu Huaiyong naturally loses any control.
But this is the case for the other four guards. If some people are arrested, Gu Huaiyong's control over him will be weakened!
As time goes by, more and more people are being caught, Gu Huaiyong's influence will become lower and lower!
Gu Huaiyong could only watch all this happen and was powerless to change anything. He was obedient to Wu Xukuan. Unless Wu Xukuan was determined to launch a rebellion, he would not dare to rebel directly!
...
On September 14th, it has been nearly half a month since autumn began, and the weather is getting colder and colder.
Late at night.
Cherish the Spring Palace and Cherish the Spring Garden.
In the courtyard full of apple trees, the door of the house on the south side is open, and a special charcoal stove is placed at the door, and it is covered with grilled skewers. The grilled oil is squeaking and the aroma is overflowing!
Today, Zhou An was going to serve Princess Yunjing at night, and she couldn't sleep at night. In addition, there were guests visiting, so she set up a stove for barbecue. Anyway, she was idle. In Xichun Palace, only he could do such a sloppy thing, and only he dared to do it.
"Old Gao, try this big waist and this fat, and it will be very fragrant if you eat it!"
"Big waist is..."
"It's the sheep's kidney..."
"Can this thing be eaten?"
"You can eat and see, it's delicious. You can replenish what you eat, and eat a big waist to replenish your waist!"
Gao Hong was very hesitant. At Zhou An's instigation, he took a bite of the baked big waist and his eyes lit up. Not to mention, it was so fragrant!
In this world, people with a little wealth and status do not eat animal internal organs and other things because they think they are all stolen goods and are something that inferior people eat. Moreover, the cooking ability in this world is very problematic and the cooking ability is not delicious.
This is the first time Gao Hong has eaten a big waist!
"Is it delicious?"
"Well, it smells so fucking!"
"Come on, come on, come on another string!"
The two of them had a great time eating. The fragrance was very tormenting. They made the little eunuchs standing guard in front of and behind the yard so hungry, but they couldn't move and could only stand like that.
Zhou An and Gao Hong not only ate barbecue, but also drank wine.
The relationship between the two is good now. Gao Hong is a rough man, pure general, very strong and straightforward. Zhou An improved "Iron Armor Kung" that time, and then gave him the improved recipe for Iron Armor Soup. This made Gao Hong look down on Zhou An. He did not despise Zhou An at all because Zhou An was a eunuch!
Later, the "private weapon case" happened, and the two of them collaborated on the matter. After a while, they became familiar with each other!
Zhou An's style of conduct is not like a eunuch, and he is very fond of Gao Hong. Gao Hong is a pure and refreshing person. He does not despise eunuchs, but admires Zhou An's talent. This is the fundamental reason why Zhou An can make friends with him.
In fact, even the commander of the Shence Army cannot enter and exit Xichun Palace at will!
But Gao Hong is different. He is one of the eight emperors in the Great Inner. This identity is enough to allow him to go anywhere in the Great Inner.
He came to Xichun Palace, and as long as Princess Yunjing didn't drive him away, it would be fine.
Gao Hong was also bored today. He had just completed his night patrol not long ago and walked around the imperial city. He wanted to go back to sleep, but I didn’t know what he thought, so he wanted to chat with Zhou An, but the two of them did such a terrible thing as eating barbecue opposite Princess Yunjing’s bedroom!
"It smells good! Why didn't you notice it before? Who told me that you can't eat internal organs? Then I'll tell me that I'll try to beat him!" Gao Hong ate three strings of big waists in a row, and it was really beautiful.
"There is nothing to eat, it depends on how to cook..." Zhou An replied.
Gao Hong picked up another string, suddenly stopped, and looked at Zhou An with a strange look, as if he had remembered something.
"What's wrong with Lao Gao?" Zhou An asked.
"Whatever you eat?" Gao Hong asked seriously.
"Yes!" Zhou An nodded.
"What are you making up for?" Gao Hong asked again.
"Uh..." Zhou An also realized that he was a eunuch, so he should make up his yarn?!
"I'm not..." Zhou An calmed down and felt a little embarrassed, "I don't want to grow it..."
"Ah? Can it still grow?" Gao Hong suddenly glared at Zhou An with incredible expressions, and then his face changed slowly. He wanted to laugh, but he forced himself to not laugh, his face turned red, and finally gave Zhou An a thumbs up, "Okay, I wish you success! Hahaha..." He still couldn't help laughing out loud.
Zhou An rolled his eyes.
"Brother, I don't mean to laugh at you, don't forget to feel attentive! Hahaha..." Gao Hong patted Zhou An's shoulder and said.
"Okay, eat yours!" Zhou An rolled his eyes again.
Boom!!!
A roar of explosion suddenly sounded, from the house south of Xichunyuan.
Chapter completed!
