The emperor's art of balancing power is truly a perfectionist.
The eunuchs who were dependent on the emperor naturally had their own "balanced" way of survival.
The eunuch of the Imperial Household Department thought for a moment and said, "Next, whether it is Lord Zheng or the person standing behind the Minister of Rites Dong Yan, I'm afraid they will try their best to win over Jia Shao."
"Notify the eunuch guarding Henan and ask him to prepare a generous gift and personally deliver it to Mengjin."
A person who has not entered the court but can exchange letters with Your Majesty is so crucial and important.
There is a high possibility that he will become a variable.
It is still a variable that no force can control.
Therefore, the eunuchs of Silijian took the lead and showed goodwill to Jia Shao.
Not just the Silijian.
After Zheng Xiasheng returned to the cabinet, he worked as usual.
However, when he returned to the mansion, he immediately called Li Duan to the study, narrowed his eyes and said, "The plan has changed. Dong Yan will join the cabinet as a deputy assistant. Also, His Majesty promised that you will serve as the Minister of Rites after you return from Shaanxi."
Upon hearing this, Li Duan's expression was mixed with joy and worry.
Zheng Xiasheng rubbed his forehead and said, "Your Majesty's love for Jia Shao is somewhat beyond my expectation. If I am not mistaken, he intends to establish private contact with Jia Shao."
"Find someone you trust, prepare a generous gift, and send it to Mengjin."
"Send another letter to Zhou Yong and ask him to find out where Jia Shao came from."
Li Duan was very surprised when he heard this.
Your Majesty has established a private relationship with Jia Shao? What a great fortune this is!
But, after being shocked, Li Duan hesitated and said, "If His Majesty knew that we were recruiting them so openly..."
Zheng Xiasheng shook his head: "It is only by recruiting openly that we can prove that we have no involvement in the Xiangrui incident. So we don't know Jia Shao, which is a good thing."
"Besides... the eunuchs in the Imperial Household Department owe that old man a favor. I'm afraid that Jia Shao's affairs will soon reach that old man's ears. With his means, he will definitely choose to recruit Jia Shao."
"A young man who has not yet entered the court but is able to stir up trouble, is in the emperor's favor, and exchanges letters with His Majesty, must not be recruited by them."
The 'old thing' mentioned by Zheng Ge Lao naturally refers to the former Prime Minister Chen Bing.
At this time, the entire court was discussing the auspicious sign brought by the Mengjin County Magistrate.
Chang Tao became famous in one battle.
Behind the scenes, a young man named Jia Shao became a favorite of all political parties.
Be sure to win this person over to your camp!
