"It's you?"

Xu Ping had just sat down in the living room, and Gao Daquan led a young man in.⊥Xu Ping saw that it was Zhou Chui'an whom he had seen near Panlou Street a few days ago.

Zhou Chui'an stepped forward to greet him: "I have met the official."

Xu Ping gave up his seat and ordered Gao Daquan to serve tea.

Zhou Chui'an sat down, and Xu Ping asked, "I don't know what it's important to find me?"

Zhou Chui'an said: "Two days ago, two soldiers who were causing trouble met Yang Taiwei, the Imperial City Secretary, and were dealt with by military law."

Speaking of this, Zhou Chui'an saw Xu Ping's cold face and no expression at all, and then said, "These two soldiers have always been arrogant and illegal. A few days ago, they threatened to make things difficult for the small shop near Panlou Street. To be honest, Tan Erniang, who opened the shop there, was an old acquaintance in Lingnan. Later, she lived in the capital and had no food and clothing. Fortunately, she met Miss Duan, so she opened a small shop together to settle down. I heard that Miss Duan was taking care of the officials when she was in Yongzhou, so I would like to thank me."

Xu Ping looked at Zhou Chui'an, and for a while, he didn't say anything. Finally, he said to Gao Daquan next to him: "Go out and take a look, have the horses outside tied up?"

Gao Daquan acknowledged and turned around and left the living room.

Zhou Chui'an looked at Gao Daquan leaving, turned his head and stared at Xu Ping again, and hurriedly got up and saluted: "I just pretended that I didn't say anything, but it was actually the head of the palace Shi Quanbin Pavilion in the palace who wanted to discuss the matter with the officials and said that he was meeting in that small shop."

Xu Ping nodded, just asked Zhou Chui to sit down, and said nothing.

When Gao Daquan came back, Zhou Chui'an said a few more gossips. Seeing that Xu Ping was not very enthusiastic, he said goodbye and left.

Xu Ping was not enthusiastic either. Duan Yunjie should not have come to his home for any matter. Even if it was an excuse, he could not say these things at his home. No matter what Lin Su Niang thought, it was at least his respect for the family.

As for Shi Quanbin, it would be fine if they had the opportunity to talk about something together. This kind of private meeting would be exempted from being dismissed, so as not to be demoted. Everyone who is an official wants to be promoted, but Xu Ping is relatively not very enthusiastic. It is best to be promoted by political achievements, otherwise Xu Ping would not want to deliberately engage in the business and would rather live his own wealth and prosperity.

After thinking about it, since Shi Quanbin asked someone to take a message, there must be something urgent, and it is still difficult not to go.

Xu Ping didn't have dinner either, so he said to Lin Su Niang and took Gao Daquan out of the house. The two of them did not walk on the main road and Yujie by the Bian River, but passed by the west of the Zhouxi Wazi, and bypassed the imperial city from the west.

When I arrived near Panlou Street, it was already dark and the lights were bright everywhere.

Xu Ping stood in an inconspicuous place and asked Gao Daquan to go to the shop to see if Shi Quanbin was there.

After a moment, Gao Daquan came back and said to Xu Ping: "Official, the head of the Shi Pavilion brought a small yellow gate and had already been waiting there."

Then Xu Ping took Gao Daquan and walked to the shop slowly.

Duan Yunjie and Tan Erniang were greeting customers in front of the store. When they saw Xu Ping, they smiled and said, "Why are you free today? You can just send a load of wine from the store, so you might as well sit down and have a drink."

Xu Ping said: "It's good. I was going to go to Fanlou for leisure. I remembered that you had Yongzhou food here but didn't have it anywhere else, so I came here to take some over."

While talking, he entered the store with Gao Daquan. He was just seeing Shi Quanbin bringing a small yellow door there. Xu Ping stepped forward and saw Shi Quanbin and met Shi Quanbin, so he asked Gao Daquan and Xiaohuangmen to sit aside, and sat down opposite Shi Quanbin.

Seeing that there was no one around, Shi Quanbin sighed: "Yunxing, I know I shouldn't call you at this time, but now there is really a tricky thing, I don't know what to do."

Xu Ping said: "The head of the Pavilion does not have to think too much. I know Xu Shen's minting money. Don't look at him as a sample of money, in fact, not to mention millions of coins, even ten coins or eight coins are difficult to mint it."

"It's not a matter of minting money. I don't have the mood to worry about that now!"

Seeing Shi Quanbin's sad face, Xu Ping heard that it was not because he was competing for the limelight with Yan Wenying. He was curious and asked Shi Quanbin: "Besides this, what else can I have in the palace to trouble the head of the palace?"

Shi Quanbin looked around and saw that there was not a single person in the store. He lowered his voice and said to Xu Ping: "It's the queen. I heard that the wind has already spread. Haven't you heard?"

Xu Ping was shocked: "What's the matter with the queen? I have no news here!"

"The queen and the two beauties were slapped, and they were slapped."

Xu Ping stared at his eyes and carefully sorted out Li Shi Quanbin's words.

Since Empress Dowager Liu left, the palace beauty Shang and Yang Meiren were favored. Xu Ping had heard of this. In fact, there was no secret in the palace at this time. Not only Xu Ping heard of it, but also the ministers in the court heard about it. Even those with a more old-fashioned personality, such as Shi Jie, who had met with him in Yanzhou, passed the Jinshi in the eighth year of Tiansheng, and even submitted a memorial to accuse Zhao Zhen of being debauchery. Although the emperor did not express anything to Shi Jie, he must have left his bad impression. Shi Jie wasted his future official career, so it is hard to say that it has nothing to do with this.

But no matter what, Zhao Zhen did not delay the government affairs, and everyone treated this matter as gossip and did not take it seriously. At least the ministers in the court did not cause any storm because of this matter. The emperor's private affairs were still private matters after all.

But unexpectedly, after a few months, I started to do it?

Xu Ping said to Shi Quanbin: "It's nothing, right? Although the queen is a little impatient, it's not a big deal."

Shi Quanbin sighed deeply: "It was nothing at all, but the official family protected the beauty and slapped the official family."

"What?!"

Xu Ping was shocked and couldn't help but his voice became a little higher. Fortunately, there were no outsiders in the store.

"The official family didn't take it to heart, and it was not up to Yan Wenying's instigation from it, and wanted to use this to depose the queen."

Xu Ping only felt that his mind was a little overwhelmed. If the emperor liked a woman in the palace was still a private matter, then deposing the queen was not a private matter. The queen not only took care of the harem, but also had a mother's favor in the world, not just the emperor's wife.

It is wrong to beat people, but the deposed queen is still passed. The queen is indeed part of the imperial power.

"Yan Wenying is an eunuch. No matter how favored he is, how can such a big thing be his turn to speak?"

"If there is support from the Foreign Minister—"

Shi Quanbin didn't say it out loud, and there was no need to say it out loud. Yan Wenying couldn't do it, wouldn't there be Lu Yijian? As for why Lu Yijian had a grudge with Empress Guo, Xu Ping didn't know, but as long as Yan Wenying represented Lu Yijian's meaning, this matter would be a big deal.

With such a big thing as abolishing queen, even the emperor could not do it in this era, and he had to have the support of the magistrate. With Lu Yijian's ability to control half of the political affairs hall, he could really make things happen.

However, Xu Ping did not want to get involved in this political whirlpool, which was really harmful to him but not beneficial. After thinking for a while, he asked Shi Quanbin: "What Your Majesty means--"

"The official family is a little moved, but it hasn't settled yet." Shi Quanbin seemed extremely worried, "Yunxing, you know that I have been by the queen for many years. If something happens to the queen, I cannot help but be implicated."

From the day Xu Ping met Shi Quanbin, he was following the emperor and handling some miscellaneous tasks for the queen at the same time. The eunuchs in the palace could not be by the emperor every day, and they always had to take some ministries. Shi Quanbin was unlucky because he had been doing business in the Queen's Hall.

"Thinking about this kind of thing is useless. If you want me to say, if you can speak with the queen, let her go to Queen Mother Yang for more walks. After all, the matter in the palace must be followed by Queen Mother Yang's ideas, and others cannot make decisions."

When Shi Quanbin heard Xu Ping say this, he could only smile bitterly.

All this is clear, but Empress Guo has always been close to Empress Liu before and has a stubborn personality. How could she ask for help at this time? She would rather be driven out of the palace than bow to the emperor.

Shi Quanbin was just in charge of the miscellaneous affairs in the Queen's Palace, and was not a confidant of the Queen. He could not persuade him even if he just mentioned it.

Seeing Shi Quanbin's appearance, Xu Ping remembered that it was not easy for the two to get along for many years, so it was difficult to let go. After thinking for a while, he said, "If you want me to tell me, the head of the Pavilion does not have to go to heart. Even if something happens to the queen, you will not be involved. If you stay in the palace unsatisfied, you might as well ask to release the palace. If you do something outside the palace, there will always be a day to recover."
