After Menda received the summons, he immediately set off for the palace.
When entering the palace, he saw Zhao Huanong outside the palace gate.
This surprised Menda and he trotted forward.
"Eunuch Zhao, why don't you wait for this subordinate any longer..."
After all, Zhao Huanong is a fifth-rank internal official, while Menda is a third-rank military attaché. He cannot call himself a subordinate regardless of his position.
But who let Zhao Huanong be the person beside the emperor?
This is a bonus.
Zhao Huanong was very pleased with Menda's self-identification and respectful attitude.
Although he was submissive in front of the emperor, it did not mean that he was a submissive person, or even a little crazy.
Zhao Huanong was a very strong and manly...eunuch...but he began to change after he came to the Qianqing Palace as an errand and became the eunuch of the Chief of Ceremonies.
In front of Zhu Jianshen, he was groveling, but outside the Qianqing Palace, he dealt with everyone with heavy punches.
"You are right, I am waiting for you, come with me..." Zhao Huanong said in a condescending tone.
"Okay, Eunuch Zhao, please first..." Menda had a flattering smile on his face.
Zhao Huanong turned around and walked towards the palace.
And Menda followed behind, always a shoulder distance away, which was just the right distance.
At first, Zhao Huanong didn't say a word.
Zhao Huanong didn't speak, and Menda didn't know what to say, and he was a little uneasy. Zhao Huanong went to wait for him outside the palace gate in person. There must be something wrong, but Menda didn't say anything, so he couldn't ask rashly.
After walking for a long time, we will soon arrive at Qianqing Palace.
Zhao Huanong suddenly stopped.
"Tongzhi Men, do you like reading?"
Menda was caught off guard by this sudden inquiry.
"Reading, ah, I don't like reading very much, and I'm not afraid of Eunuch Zhao's jokes if I tell you. If I say that, I will feel sleepy after seeing it." Menda quickly replied.
"Since you don't like reading, why did you go to such great lengths to get so many books in Zhejiang? Could it be that they were given away..." Zhao Huanong asked immediately.
While speaking, Zhao Huanong turned around and looked at Menda coldly.
Menda instantly felt a sense of oppression.
I also understood something.
Zhao Huanong should have learned about his delivery of books to Zhan Yang late at night.
He had been knocked once before.
But Menda was still a little lucky.
In Menda's view, being an official is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. If you follow the steps, you will definitely not have much chance.
Therefore, even if he was beaten, he still wanted to try and strive for it.
"Factory guards are not separated into different families. We in the East Factory are His Majesty's dogs, and the same goes for the Jinyi Guards. If this dog wag its tail to please others, the owner will not be happy..."
"Men Tongzhi is a smart man, so there is no need to think about going to the spies we have placed beside you. You also know that as long as you dare to investigate, your official position will not be guaranteed..."
Listening to Zhao Huanong's words, Menda's face turned black and white for a while.
"Eunuch Zhao, I..."
"Needless to say, no matter how you say it, it's just sophistry. Don't worry, His Majesty doesn't know these things yet. But if it happens again, Your Majesty will know everything. The Sacred Heart is unpredictable. By then, it may not be It’s so easy to lose one’s official position. People from the same family must be aware of current affairs..."
After saying these words, Zhao Huanong turned around again and walked forward.
Menda stood there for a moment and then hurriedly caught up...
In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Jianshen told Zhu Ji and Menda to allocate manpower. After Xu Youzhen and others came up with the detailed southern tour route and the places to stop along the way, the Jinyiwei people had to walk it first and stop along the way. A permanent spy should be stationed at the location to keep an eye on the local government's movements.
Zhu Ji and Menda rushed to receive the order.
Jiangnan veterans jointly submitted a petition to invite His Majesty the Emperor to visit the south, but among these veterans, there was one important person missing.
He is the teacher of His Majesty the Emperor.
Yu Qian.
Now Yu Qian has returned to Guangxi after leaving Annan.
After Liu Qingzong came to appease the envoys, no matter how much local officials complained, they still had to strictly implement the court's appeasement policy, or else they would immediately file an impeachment petition.
In two months, three magistrates have been captured, and six magistrates have been promoted.
Local officials in the three provinces all believed that Liu Qingzong was simply a ruthless and cruel official who was never accommodating.
And Liu Qingzong was not like Wang Miao, who rushed into Kunming City and never showed up again.
He never stayed in one place for more than two days.
The officials suffered miserably, but the people were really benefited.
Regarding these, Yu Qian saw clearly after arriving in Guangxi. Although he knew that Liu Qingzong's approach was not a long-term solution, it could achieve the ultimate goal in the fastest time.
Soon after, Sun Zan received a message from the capital, saying that in the 18th year of Chenghua's reign, His Majesty the Emperor was going to tour the south, and he immediately took Yu Qian back to the south of the Yangtze River, preferably to Nanjing.
After seeing the letter, Sun Zan did not dare to delay, so he informed Yu Qian about His Majesty's intention to tour the south next year.
Yu Qian was not surprised after hearing this.
No matter what the young emperor does, Yu Qian is not surprised.
In fact, Yu Qian was very satisfied with Zhu Jianshen.
The young emperor is not arrogant, does not think too highly of himself, is frugal, loves and cares for the people, and seems to have no shortcomings except for being a little arbitrary in war. Of course, this is not a shortcoming. That is not the case with Lao Zhu's family.
After so many years, except for one selection during the wedding, the Ming Dynasty has never drafted again.
Moreover, according to the custom, a prince's wedding also requires a draft, but neither Prince Ping nor Prince Han enjoyed this treatment...
Under this premise of frugality, there is nothing wrong with His Majesty the Emperor wanting to tour the South.
And Yu Qian knew that although he had the title of Imperial Master, he had never taught Zhu Jianshen anything.
This time, he can tell the emperor what he has seen and heard over the past year, so that he can have a better understanding of his Ming Dynasty...
Yu Qian went north.
The target is Nanjing City.
Sun Zan and others had been following Yu Qian around the remote countryside, and their hearts had long been irritable. Now that they heard that they could go to the prosperous metropolis, although their faces remained calm, their hearts were really happy...
