The change of people's mentality is always unconscious. (The first text is published in the reading room biquge.info)

I remember that when Zhao Junchen first came to this world, he still regarded Emperor Deqing as his greatest support, although he could not say that he was loyal, but he also regarded how to please Emperor Deqing as his top priority.

However, time has passed, and as he becomes more and more familiar with the environment of the times, he has become more and more integrated into today's horn sè, although Emperor Deqing is still Zhao Junchen's biggest reliance, but Zhao Junchen is no longer willing to be controlled by Emperor Deqing.

This kind of unwillingness is getting stronger and stronger, and it is not even controlled by Zhao Junchen, so that from time to time, Zhao Junchen's mind will always have the idea of "what if Emperor Deqing is not there", when he was thinking about how to draft from the Zhao family's women, this idea appeared, and the same idea has appeared again.

"You can't rush it."

Zhao Junchen muttered to himself, pressing the impulse that appeared in his mind to the depths of his heart again, and recovering his ordinary thoughts.

Zhao Junchen doesn't like to do things impulsively.

………

Just when Zhao Junchen was thinking about it, he had already returned to the Zhao Mansion, after Zhao Junchen got out of the carriage, he was about to enter the mansion, and Xu Qingyan next to him suddenly reminded: "Young Master, it seems that the carriage has some intentions, just now I saw that it has been waiting at the corner of the street, and now as soon as you appear, Young Master, it will come." ”

Listening to Xu Qingyan's reminder, Zhao Junchen turned his head to look and saw a carriage slowly approaching the gate of Zhao's mansion.

The carriage seems to be ordinary and low-key, but whether it is a work material or a horse pulling a cart, it is extraordinary, and it is by no means affordable for ordinary people.

Zhao Junchen was slightly stunned, and then agreed with Xu Qingyan's statement. Suo xìng didn't go home, just stood here and waited.

But for a moment. The carriage had already arrived in front of Zhao Junchen. After the carriage stopped, the driver lifted the hat, looked up at Zhao Junchen and smiled, and said, "Lord Zhao, you are finally back." Is there hot tea in the house to warm up our family? It's freezing this day, and our family is waiting for you. My body is almost freezing. ”

Seeing the coachman's appearance, Zhao Junchen froze and glanced thoughtfully at the carriage. But I saw that the carriage was tightly covered. But in the next moment, it was replaced by a flattered smile, and he said in a continuous voice: "Oh, it turned out to be Zhang De's father-in-law, I was really sluggish, come and enter the house." Although there are not many good things in the house, hot tea is still available. ”

Between words. Zhao Junchen was already affectionately pulling Zhang De into the house.

It turned out that the groom who was driving the car. It turned out to be Zhang De, the close eunuch next to Emperor Deqing!

With Zhang De's status in the inner court, he is now willing to be a groom, and this character sitting in the carriage is afraid that it is extraordinary.

But because of this, Zhao Junchen didn't ask what to explore, but after glancing at Xu Qingyan, he let the Zhao Mansion take over the carriage and drove the carriage into the Zhao Mansion through the side door.

………

However, it was said that after Zhao Junchen led Zhang De into the Zhao Mansion, he did not go to the main hall to rest, but took Zhang De to the side courtyard where the carriage was placed.

And Zhang De obviously understood Zhao Junchen's thoughts, and followed with a smile, but he didn't say anything, just looked at Zhao Junchen's mansion with interest.

On the way, Zhao Junchen looked up and down at Zhang De's coachman's outfit and asked, "Father-in-law Zhang De's outfit today is also interesting." When I first met my father-in-law, I was shocked. However, doesn't my father-in-law need to accompany him today? ”

Zhang De laughed and said: "Today, our family is rarely on vacation, the New Year is about to pass, it is inevitable to be lonely, so I came to find Lord Zhao, and fortunately, Lord Zhao is still willing to see our family. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Deshen sighed a little more emotionally, and said: "However, Lord Zhao doesn't know if he wants to, our family was originally born as a horse eunuch, and he was still a little eunuch at that time, and I did all the things of driving horses." Now the old business is back in operation, but there is no hand. ”

"My father-in-law laughed, you came to my house, it's too late for me to welcome you, how dare you let your father-in-law eat closed-door soup? However, if you can let Zhang De's father-in-law return to your old business, the one sitting in the carriage, I'm afraid the identity is not simple, right? ”

Zhao Junchen asked.

Zhang De didn't answer, just seemed to recall, and said slowly: "Actually, our family didn't stay long in the Imperial Horse Prison, but for half a year, just in time for the first emperor to rectify the inner court again, a purge, more than half of the big eunuchs in the inner court went to the guillotine, although it also entrusted the rich of the purge, under the vacancy of the inner court, we were able to be promoted step by step, so that our family is today, but now in retrospect, I still have palpitations." ”

Zhao Junchen nodded and said, "Yes, I have also heard about the things back then, during the period of the first emperor, because of Wei Zhongxian's affairs, the inner court was indeed suppressed too much. If something is slightly wrong, it is a purge, and the eunuchs and eunuchs who were killed before and after, it is rumored that there are no less than 10,000 people, and it feels terrible when you think about it. ”

(Note: Regarding the number of eunuchs in the late Ming Dynasty, one said that there were 100,000 people, and the other said that there were 70,000 people, and I personally think that these numbers are exaggerated, after all, the history of the Ming Dynasty was compiled under the auspices of the Manchus, and there are too many places to deliberately smear it, but in the late Ming Dynasty, the average number of people hired from the palace every year was about 1,000, but it is also a fact, so the total number should not be small.) ）

Zhang De also agreed, and said: "Yes, the first emperor hated the inner court the most, and repeatedly cleaned and rectified, and now His Majesty is in power, although it is much more lenient, but in the third year of Deqing, and the nineteenth year of Deqing, there have still been two purges, at that time our family has entered the celebrant supervisor, although he is closer to His Majesty, but he doesn't know if he will be implicated in, and he is also worried all day long, and he can't even sleep well." ”

Speaking of this, Zhang De's tone paused slightly, and he turned his head to look at Zhao Junchen, just when Zhao Junchen thought that Zhang De was about to cut to the point, Zhang De turned around and said, "Lord Zhao, haven't you always wanted to see Master Liu Qing?" It's just that Master Liu Qing is old, his health is not good, and it is inconvenient to enter and leave the palace, although he has long understood Lord Zhao's hospitality, but he can't always find time, but today ......"

Hearing Zhang De's words, Zhao Junchen's face was straight, and he asked in surprise: "Senior Liu Qing is here?" ”

Zhang De nodded with a smile and said, "That's right." No way, the situation now. Master Liu Qing, he can't come if he doesn't come. ”

Zhao Junchen gestured to Zhang De. The pace of walking towards the side yard couldn't help but speed up.

Liu Qing has been in charge of the Inner Study Hall for many years, and now most of the eunuchs in charge of the 24 Yamen of the Inner Court are from his inner subordinates. It has a very high reputation and great influence in the inner court. For such a character, Zhao Junchen didn't dare to be lazy.

Seeing Zhao Junchen like this, Zhang De didn't say anything more. Just followed with a smile.

A moment later. Zhao Junchen had already come to the side courtyard, but he saw an old man, who was slowly getting out of the carriage with the support of the people of the Zhao Mansion.

Although this old man has a fair face and a somewhat elegant temperament, he is extremely thin. Dying, old, trembling. Without the slightest spirit, although Zhao Junchen was just watching from a distance, he could still feel the passage of life on his body, and the rich and pungent smell of medicine was faintly coming. left the impression on Zhao Junchen, as if the old man had come to the end of his years, and he had already run out of oil.

After seeing the old man, Zhao Junchen turned his head to look at Zhang De, but saw Zhang De nodding at him.

After getting the confirmation, Zhao Junchen had a straight face, walked quickly in front of Liu Qing, bowed and saluted: "Junior, Zhao Junchen, I have seen Liu Qing's seniors. ”

Seeing that Zhao Junchen was so polite, Liu Qing's old face smiled, his voice was not as sharp and harsh as that of ordinary eunuchs, that is, hoarse and gentle, and said slowly: "Lord Zhao is too polite, the old man is just the eunuch in charge of the district study, and he is very lowly, but my lord, you are a second-grade scholar, and you are a member of the foreign court, how can you salute the old man?" ”

While speaking, Liu Qing also gestured to Zhao Junchen, and bent over to return the salute, but was supported by Zhao Junchen, between Zhao Junchen's waves, the Zhao Mansion retreated to the side, and Liu Qing was personally supported by Zhao Junchen and walked towards the main hall of the Zhao Mansion.

For Zhao Junchen's respect, Liu Qing seemed to sigh, but did not refuse.

Along the way, Zhao Junchen carefully observed this long-known old man, from the outside, it seemed that he was just an elderly eunuch, but from his cloudy old eyes, Zhao Junchen could always see some kind of strong self-insistence.

Zhao Junchen knew very well that he was now walking with Liu Qing, but it was only a false support, although Liu Qing's steps were trembling, he did not rely on Zhao Junchen at all, and he was walking with his own strength.

For this alone, Zhao Junchen has already seen that this Liu Qing seems to be ordinary, but the stubbornness and strength in his heart are not inferior to anyone in the world, and this quality appears in an elderly eunuch, which makes Zhao Junchen a little surprised.

After everyone came to the main hall, the guests and hosts sat down, and the people of Zhao Mansion also served hot tea, Zhao Junchen took a sip, looked at Liu Qing on the side, and said: "The younger generation has long wanted to see the seniors, but unfortunately it is always missing, and today I finally got what I wanted, and I was really relieved." ”

Liu Qing also put down the cup in his hand tremblingly, and said: "Lord Zhao's hospitality, the old man has already heard about it from Xiao Dezi, but the old man is really old, and his body has not been good, he can not move without moving all these years, but he has not been able to meet Lord Zhao, but what Lord Zhao means, Lao Yu also understands, is also to let the people of the inner court and Lord Zhao rebuild your friendship, but the things in this world are always unsatisfactory, and now the confrontation between Lord Zhao and the inner court is heavier than before. ”

Hearing Liu Qing say this, Zhang De's face was embarrassed, obviously the "little virtue" in Liu Qing's mouth was referring to Zhang De.

It's just that the only person who can call Zhang De "Little Dezi" is Liu Qing in front of him.

On the other side, Zhao Junchen also sighed and said: "Yes, there are always ten ** things in this world, the younger generation is friendly with the inner court, it is full of sincerity, and the benefits have always been sufficient, but the inner court is not as sincere as the younger generation, not only did he receive the money and did not do anything, so that the younger generation owed a favor in vain, but also wanted an explanation but could not get it." ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Junchen smiled slightly, and said: "If you are a senior, you were first betrayed by others, and then looked down upon, at this time, how should you deal with it?" ”

Liu Qing smiled, and the wrinkles on his face were squeezed together because of this, seemingly kind, but the words in his mouth were cold and ruthless: "Revenge, Liwei, kill chickens and monkeys." ”

Zhao Junchen nodded and said, "The juniors and seniors have the same idea, so that's what they do." ”

Liu Qing sighed and said: "But what you are doing now, Lord Zhao, is not to take revenge on Liwei, nor to kill chickens and monkeys, but to destroy people." In this way, even Zhou Shangjing and Huang Yourong failed to convince Lord Zhao of you. ”

"The younger generation's xìngzi, in a way, is actually quite stubborn, and this kind of temptation with luck naturally can't convince the younger generation."

Liu Qing sighed again: "Yes, the old man also thinks like this, but unfortunately there are always some people in the inner court who want to give it a try." This matter is indeed something wrong in the inner court, and the old man is here and here to accuse Lord Zhao, and assure Lord Zhao that this kind of thing will never happen again in the future, the old man's words are also considered to have some weight in the inner court, I don't know Lord Zhao, are you willing to let go of the inner court this time? ”

Zhao Junchen shook his head and said: "Sincerity, the younger generation needs the inner court to show some sincerity, and the younger generation naturally trusts the senior, but after this incident, the younger generation does not trust this kind of verbal guarantee." ”

"So in Lord Zhao's opinion, how can the inner court be considered sincere?"

Zhao Junchen said lightly: "Senior Liu Qing, you can come in person, it is naturally a sign of sincerity, but the juniors also need an explanation, why does Lord Shoufu accompany the news of the southern tour, and the juniors will be concealed by the inner court, and in the end they can only learn from His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince?" ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, Liu Qing was silent for a long time, and finally slowly spoke: "Actually, what is the reason for this situation, the inner court has long understood what you mean by Lord Zhao, a few days ago, Lord Zhao had a detailed discussion with Zhang Xiu, the apprentice of Xiao Dezi and the eunuch in charge of the Yang Xin Palace, and what Zhang Xiu said is exactly what the inner court wants your adults to know, and the reason for the matter is not much different from what Lord Zhao guessed in your heart." With such an answer, Lord Zhao, are you still satisfied? ”

Zhao Junchen thought for a moment and chuckled: "I said, why did the Zhang Degong Guild happen to be not there that day, and Zhang Xiu's Gonggong and the younger generations were also too eager, so it sees, it seems that the inner court has been premeditated." ”

After a pause, Zhao Junchen suddenly asked, "I just don't know, the current position of the inner court is subordinate?" Is it cooperation? Or just betting? ”

For such an inquiry, Liu Qing avoided talking about it, and just asked: "Since there is an explanation, I wonder if Lord Zhao is willing to let go of the inner court this time?" ”

Although he didn't get an accurate answer, Zhao Junchen also had an answer in his heart, and he was not annoyed, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly smiled and said, "What do you mean by what your predecessor said?" The younger generation has always cooperated closely with the inner court, where can they not let go? Speaking of which, the batch of cloth and silk that the inner court needed to hand over was so huge that it was actually sent to the inner treasury as early as three days ago, which shows the ability of the inner court to do things. ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, Liu Qing and Zhang De were both stunned.

And Zhao Junchen continued: "Speaking of which, Liu Qing's predecessors came just right, and the juniors just had a message to inform the inner court, and now the inner treasury is running well, and the money is sufficient. ”

Liu Qing suddenly smiled, and his expression seemed to be extremely happy: "Lord Zhao is young, it is really a good means, but in this way, in the future, the inner court will cooperate with Lord Zhao, and the old man will be relieved." ”！。
