Ming Dynasty: I, Emperor Chongzhen, swear not to go to Meishan

After the court dispersed the next day, Zhu Youjian summoned Qian Qianyi and Fang Yousheng, a doctor from the Ministry of Finance, into the palace.

Under the guidance of a young eunuch, Fang Yousheng entered the Yangxin Hall to meet the saint. Outside the hall, he saw Qian Qianyi waiting outside the hall. He exchanged glances with Qian Qianyi, and then entered the hall uneasily.

When he came out, his face was full of joyful smile. With his qualifications, it would take at least a few years for him to climb to the position of right minister. However, he did not expect that after the emperor asked him about it, he promised on the spot. The official position of the Right Minister of Household Affairs will be announced at tomorrow's morning meeting.

This is a great thing that comes from heaven. He is so happy that he can't close his mouth. If his guess is correct, Mr. Qian Qianyi may also be promoted to Zuo Shilang, and he is only one step away from the position of Minister.

Fang Yousheng made a gesture to Qian Qianyi, and then, under the guidance of the young eunuch, he happily left the palace. When he returned home, he held a banquet and invited relatives and friends to celebrate.

Qian Qianyi didn't know why the emperor suddenly called him into the palace, and he was always worried. When he saw Fang Yousheng's gestures and the joyful expression on his face, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Thinking that the emperor rewarded his concubine Liu Ru with a priceless rare treasure, I can't help but think wildly. Is I going to be promoted?

You must know that although his talent and reputation are very high, and he is one of the big bosses of the Donglin Party, his official career is a bit poor. Some party members or officials who are not as famous as him are either promoted to Zuo Shilang or Shangshu early, and their reputations are as great as his. He entered the cabinet and almost reached the pinnacle of his life, but he has always stayed in the position of right minister, and he has stayed there for several years. Can he not be anxious?

This time, he was finally coming through.

Oh, it's been so long, why hasn't the emperor summoned him yet? Could it be that he forgot? Or are you busy reviewing memorials and have no time? Or is it for some other reason?

Qian Qianyi, who was full of hope in his heart, had been waiting impatiently for a long time, but time passed by bit by bit. He estimated that he had been standing outside the palace for half an hour, but the emperor never summoned him.

what happened?

When he was scratching his head in anxiety and almost going crazy with his random thoughts, a young eunuch came out of the palace.

"Shilang Qian, the emperor said that he has something urgent to attend to. We will discuss it another day and let the servants choose the adults to leave the palace first."

"What?"

Qian Qianyi was dumbfounded, what's going on?

"Thank you for your hard work, father-in-law." Qian Qianyi smiled, enthusiastically took the little eunuch's hand, and then let go.

His mind was filled with a hundred thousand whys. If he didn't understand clearly, he would definitely not think about it.

"Master Qian, please take back the banknote. I don't dare to accept it. If the prince knows about it, I will beat him to death."

The young eunuch turned his face and returned the fifty-tael banknote in his hand. Although he was reluctant to give up, Father-in-law Wang Chengen had repeatedly told him not to reveal any information to Qian Qianyi, otherwise he would be killed.

To him, Eunuch Wang Chengen's words were like an imperial edict, and he would not dare to violate them even if he had a hundred leopards' courage.

"..." Qian Qianyi was so angry that he almost vomited blood. After the eunuch lost his gun, he became very gloomy and liked yellow and white things. He bought fifty taels of silver notes, which was much more than the little eunuch's worth, but this The little eunuch actually opened his mouth like a lion?

However, in order to understand the situation inside the Yangxin Palace and find out the emperor's thoughts, he could only grit his teeth and bleed profusely.

"Eunuch, it's convenient." Qian Qianyi added another fifty-tael bank note and forced it into the little eunuch's hand with a smile.

Damn you damn eunuch, when my concubine Liu Rushi comes into the palace next time, it would be strange if I don’t complain to Concubine Yuan and Concubine Xiang, and I’ll kill you.

"Master Qian, please respect yourself." The young eunuch took a few steps back in panic, as if the two banknotes handed over by Qian Qianyi were snakes and scorpions that could kill people, and his face turned pale with fear.

Qian Qianyi was so angry that he wanted to strangle the young eunuch to death on the spot. You are such a dead eunuch, I have already made you lose your surname Qian.

"Master Qian, please." The little eunuch made a gesture to please move.

"Hmph." Qian Qianyi rolled up his sleeves and snorted coldly, turned his face, put his hands behind his back and stepped out of the palace, following the young eunuch.

If looks could kill, the little eunuch leading the way would have been killed ten thousand times by his cold eyes.

Full of hundreds of thousands of reasons, Qian Qianyi was extremely puzzled and left the palace to go home with a dark face.
