All the officials who signed yesterday were sent to prison by Jin Yiwei. The change in the inner court does not seem to have much to do with me, but what concerns me is that the commander of the Jinyiwei is still Shi Yi. At the same time, Sizhong, the son of Silun, was transferred from Nanjing. He inherited Silun's position and became the commander of the Jinyiwei Bai. He is a household manager, but he is in the Experience Department, that is, Bao Xiaobai's department.
After learning this news, I felt a little uneasy. Although I am on the side of the Eight Tigers, I feel from Yang Hong that it is not necessarily wrong that the officials are so disgusted with the Eight Tigers. The country of the Ming Dynasty still needs a stream of clear water, but how can the Eight Tigers tolerate such a clear stream? What makes me even more puzzled is why the Eight Tigers agreed to Xie Qian and Liu Jian's appointment, but kept Li Dongyang. You must know that Li Dongyang was also opposed to the Eight Tigers. Sometimes it is really hard to understand. It took more than ten days for these things to stop.
Ever since they learned that I was promoted to Jinyiwei Qianhu, many people have stayed away from me. Most likely, I am a young man and I was promoted too quickly, which must have made these people feel uncomfortable!
And I didn’t have time to think about so much. A bigger surprise came. Liao Jianzhong asked me to take charge of Beizhen Fusi. It surprised everyone. Regardless of qualifications or ability, even if it was a pie in the sky, it shouldn’t hit me on the head. on, but I got hit.
The spring of the first year of Zhengde came to the capital, and the sunshine was warm.
I have spent a year in the capital and am already familiar with everything here. Because I was in charge of Beizhen Fusi, Liao Jianzhong arranged for people to come and help me. Among them, Lu Song was very capable, so I asked him to do the signing. In fact, I wanted Bao Xiaobai to do it, but I tentatively mentioned it to him. When this happened, he refused, saying that he liked his current job, not to mention that he had to go out to sign the job. I felt sour and couldn't help but ask, "Are you going to stay here all your life?" Xiaobai's smiling face trembled stiffly for a few times, and then he smiled and said: "Just get used to it, just like you always go out. Everyone is used to their own life, and it can't be changed easily."
I couldn't help but ask again: "Is there anyone else in your family?" Bao Xiaobai nodded, "There is an elder brother. He is also a Jin Yiwei, but I don't know where he went. Maybe he is on errands secretly. A Jin Yiwei like him sometimes says I just left without any news, but I believe that one day he will come to see me." I saw that he was speaking extremely seriously, and I couldn't bear it, and I almost told him what happened in the first place. Bao Xiaobai said: "You are now the Jinyiwei Qianhu, responsible for the Fusi of Beizhen. Although there are Commander Liao and Commander Murong above, you still make the decisions on many things. You must be careful when doing things. You know, everyone here is... You are not someone who is idle!" I naturally understood and sighed: "I also know this, so I came to you for help. I can't go to Commander Liao for everything, but there are some things that I only know a little bit about." Bao Xiaobai He smiled and said, "Lu Song and Lu Baihu are very nice people. You can discuss things with him. As for Gu Dachun, you have to be polite to him. You understand this."
I nodded, and Bao Xiaobai said again: "Hardy will be released soon, because almost no one cares about the person who died in that case. However, you should pay attention to the stolen night pearl. Also, the relationship between the father-in-law and the father-in-law may not be the same." It's really good, especially Eunuch Zhang and Eunuch Liu. They don't get along well with each other, and I always feel that they will part ways one day. You were introduced by Eunuch Zhang, so you should be even more careful with Eunuch Liu."
I nodded in surprise. He was really smart, and I couldn't help but think how great it would be if he could help me. At the end of his sentence, he looked at me and couldn't help laughing and said: "Don't look at me like this, I look at me every day." Organize documents, certainly know a lot of things.”
I thought to myself: "If I believe it, there will be no secrets in the world!" But I still believe him. After all, he treats me well and considers everything he says.
Sure enough, one sunny afternoon, Hardy came back and gained a lot of weight. The person traveling with him turned out to be Zhang Zhong. He greeted me politely. I always remember how he almost broke my arm in the palace. , but now his identity has changed, he is the eunuch of Dongchang, I still politely asked him to sit down, Hardy ran over enthusiastically, hugged me, I didn’t care too much, and the stone that had been hanging in my heart fell to the ground. It took a long time for the two brothers to let go. Zhang Zhong smiled and said: "Brotherly love is so deep, it's admirable!"
I laughed, sat down and said, "Something happened to the Jinyiwei Hardy and I entered together, and I was really uneasy. Now that it's better, Hardy is back, and our brothers can be together again."
Zhang Zhong nodded and said, "Ha Xiaoqi has been wronged. This is all a good deed by Wang Yue's fellow. Now that Mr. Liu is in charge of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, he naturally has to judge the injustice."
I was very surprised and asked what was going on? It turned out that after Hardy and I separated that day, he went straight back to Beijing to report to Liao Jianzhong. He didn’t want to meet some eunuchs from Dongchang at the city gate. He was surprised to learn that Hardy had collided with them and brought them back to Dongchang. Wang Yuezheng and some of the leaders of Dongchang met. The eunuch was talking and saw Hardy coming. He was a little nervous and asked what was going on? Hardy thought that these people were all the eunuchs of the East Factory, so he told the story. These people didn't pay attention and breathed a sigh of relief. They said that they were busy with other things now and put this matter aside for the time being. They originally wanted Hardy to return to Jinyiwei. , and later said that Hardy was an insider and was temporarily placed in the East Factory and not allowed to go anywhere.
I was a little puzzled, and Zhang Zhong smiled and said: "On that day, Wang Yue went to Dongchang and colluded with a few leading eunuchs to control Dongchang. Wasn't the Jinyiwei controlled by Mr. Ma? Qianhu adults should know that."
How could I not remember what happened that night? Although it was not a narrow escape, it was still thrilling. Those Jin Yiwei who followed Ji Liaofan and did not leave were all imprisoned in imperial prison, while Ji Liaofan was taken to Dongchang. It’s just that the Dongchang at this time is no longer the Dongchang controlled by Mr. Ma. Who knows, what will happen to him? Life is like a dream, and some things are truly scary.
I thought for a long time and said after a while: "It would be great if you could come back!" Zhang Zhong nodded and said: "Master Qianhu, Eunuch Liu said that since you were promoted to Qianhu, you should have your own mansion. Let's take a walk." You go and take a look!”
I was stunned and didn’t know what Zhang Zhong’s words meant. At this moment, Ning Boyang came in from outside and saw us. He was also stunned. He quickly changed his face to a smile and said: "Third brother, you are back! Eunuch Zhang, are you here too?" it's here!"
Hardy ran over enthusiastically, hugged Ning Boyang and laughed loudly. Zhang Zhong laughed and said: "It seems that you three brothers are sincere in love. Let's go, let's take you to a place!"
The huge house is quietly located by the river in the east of the city. It has bluestone floors and blue brick and tile houses, with three entrances and three exits. The courtyard walls are undulating like wavy patterns, and the tall screen wall is carved with a picture of pine and cypresses. Although it doesn't look so magnificent, it is still high-end. There are rows of willow trees beside the river, which are already green. Birds fly over there from time to time, chirping incessantly.
In the past, this was the residence of a first-class official. Now, it has become my residence. I am already an adult of the fifth rank, so I naturally have my own house. Zhang Zhong told me that Liu Jin personally arranged my house, and knowing that I was alone, he specially arranged for a housekeeper Hu and ten maids to serve me. At the same time, he also gave me one hundred taels of gold, saying that it was for settling down.
When I faced all this, I suspected that I was in a dream. The person who accompanied me here was Zhang Zhong from Dongchang. He almost broke my arm at first, but now he is accompanying me here like an elder brother.
When he told me that everything here belongs to me, I opened my mouth in surprise, and Ning Boyang and Hardy who came with me even more exclaimed.
Bao Xiaobai said that Eunuch Zhang Yong and Liu Jin were rivals. On the surface they were getting along, but secretly they were competing with each other. I am Eunuch Zhang’s son. Liu Jin must have had some motive for treating me like this. I couldn’t figure out why, so I gave Zhang Zhong a polite salute and said, “Eunuch, please go back and thank Eunuch Liu for me. My subordinate is just a guard with thousands of royal robes. I am really flattered by Eunuch Liu's treatment so generously. I can't accept this house and servants. According to the "Ming Dynasty Law", I am only a fifth-rank official and only need three small houses!"
Zhang Zhong listened and said with a smile: "Master Zhang, you are worrying too much. This is not only the kindness of Eunuch Liu, but also what you deserve. In the past, you carefully investigated many officials and compiled all their whereabouts into a book. This time the court officials Colluding to frame Eunuch Liu, etc., your book has made a great contribution. The emperor is very pleased and specially entrusted Eunuch Liu to reward you with a house. Of course, Eunuch Liu still remembers you and chose this place specially. If you are worried, you can Go ask Eunuch Zhang Yong or Commander Liao!"
