"Lord Qiyu, there are angels in the capital!"

After hearing the report of his subordinates, Zhao Junchen nodded, but he didn't seem surprised. (The first text is published in the reading room biquge.info)

Angels, i.e., envoys of the Son of Heaven.

Now Zhao Junchen has been away from Beijing for nearly two months, far exceeding expectations. Although in order to stabilize the holy family, Zhao Junchen has sent a letter to Emperor Deqing every few days to ask for peace and report the recent situation, but Zhao Junchen, as a household servant, and also in charge of the internal transport warehouse, many things in the court are inseparable from him, and with the character of Emperor Deqing, it is time to send someone to urge him to return to Beijing.

Guessing in his heart the intention of the envoy of the Son of Heaven, Zhao Junchen turned his head to Guo Linxiang and said, "Boss Guo, can you move to the side hall for a while?" After the official received the angel, he would talk to Boss Guo in detail, and ask Boss Guo not to blame for the neglect. ”

Guo Linxiang nodded and smiled: "Your Excellency is polite, the angel is coming, there must be something important to discuss with the adult, and it should be avoided in the side hall for a while, where do you dare to blame the adult." ”

While speaking, Guo Linxiang did not delay, and after saluting Zhao Junchen, he went to the side hall under the leadership of his subordinates to wait.

"Keihiko, come with me to meet the angel."

After Guo Linxiang left, Zhao Junchen also got up and said to Xu Qingyan on the side.

……

When Zhao Junchen took Xu Qingyan to the gate of the mansion, he saw that the angel was waiting outside the mansion with a group of entourage-it was an old eunuch who was about fifty years old, looking at his service, he wanted to have a high status in the palace, but although this eunuch had a smile on his face, he always gave Zhao Junchen a feeling of smiling and not smiling, and the city was deep, which made Zhao Junchen instinctively a little wary.

"Qingyan, do you know this eunuch?"

After seeing the eunuch from a distance, Zhao Junchen asked Xu Qingyan.

Seeing that Zhao Junchen didn't know the identity of the person who came, Xu Qingyan couldn't help but be surprised, but he still replied softly: "Young Master, how could you forget about him?" This eunuch is Zhang De, the close eunuch next to His Majesty, who has been with His Majesty for more than ten years. ”

Zhao Junchen nodded, and didn't explain, just walked quickly in front of Zhang De, and arched his hand: "The angel has arrived, and the official has not been able to meet him from afar, forgive your sins." ”

That Zhang De also replied with a smile: "Lord Zhao is polite, our family is low, and Lord Zhao can personally greet him outside the mansion, which has flattered our family." ”

Zhang De's voice was sharp, although it was not a duck-like voice, but it was not good, and there was a strange taste of yin and yang in his tone, which seemed to have some kind of hostility towards Zhao Junchen, which made Zhao Junchen frown secretly.

"Grandpa Zhang is polite, let's go into the house and talk."

Sensing Zhang De's hostility that he didn't seem to intend to hide, Zhao Junchen had some doubts in his heart, but he was no longer polite, and just led Zhang De towards the mansion.

Although Zhang De is an angel, Zhao Junchen is also a Qincha, so after the two sides meet, they don't need too much etiquette.

After leading Zhang De to the hall, the two sides sat down, and Zhao Junchen asked: "I don't know if Your Majesty sent Gonggong Zhang to look for me, but what is your will to order?" ”

After Zhang De coughed, he replied slowly: "Well, it's not true, it's just that Your Majesty hasn't seen your adult for so long, and you have some worries, so you sent our family to Lu'an Mansion to ask your adult when you can return to Beijing." Lord Zhao, it's not that our family said you, you are not only the household servant, but also in charge of the internal transport warehouse, the household is away from the adult, and there are Shangshu and other waiters who can take care of things, but if the inner carrier warehouse is not an adult, there will be no person in charge, then it will become a mess? We know that you have big things to do in Lu'an Mansion, but you can't leave for two months? For His Majesty, we always have to prioritize, don't we? ”

Zhang De spoke very slowly, but very verbose, Zhao Junchen finally listened patiently, and was just about to say something, when he heard that Zhang De coughed again, and continued: "If you want our family to say, my lord, since you are in charge of the inner library, although it is said that the internal library is managed in an orderly manner, but my lord, as a member of the imperial court, the court affairs are heavy, and the future is ambitious, and it will only get busier and busier in the future. Your Excellency, you have only been away for two months, and the inner carrier warehouse is in chaos. If you want our family to say, if someone can help you share it, the burden on your shoulders will always be lighter, Lord Zhao, do you say this is the truth? ”

If Zhang De's words were pointed, Zhao Junchen would not be able to hear it, but he didn't answer the words, but just said lightly: "What Gonggong Zhang said is very true, the official has been taught, and he also asked Gonggong Zhang to go back and report to His Majesty, and said that the official will definitely return within three days." ”

After a pause, Zhao Junchen asked: "However, if the official wants to come, if there is only some chaos on the inner library, I am afraid that His Majesty will not be so anxious to send his father-in-law to urge the official to return to Beijing, I don't know what else has happened in the court recently?" ”

Zhang De pursed his lips, still saying in that slow and leisurely voice: "Our family is working in the inner palace, what happened in the previous dynasty, where can our family know?" Lord Zhao, you're asking the wrong person. ”

While speaking, Zhang De had already gotten up, arched his hand at Zhao Junchen, and said: "Lord Zhao, the meaning of His Majesty is that our family has already informed the adults, and His Majesty still needs our family to serve him, and our family does not dare to delay, so let's leave, let's see you in the capital." ”

Saying that, Zhang De didn't wait for Zhao Junchen to stay, so he turned around and left, which was quite a bit of "different ways do not conspire with each other".

"Grandpa Zhang is leaving? It's getting late, why don't you rest for the night in this Lu'an Mansion? ”

While speaking, Zhao Junchen glanced at Xu Qingyan, and after seeing Xu Qingyan's reluctant look, Zhao Junchen glared at Xu Qingyan again.

Seeing Zhao Junchen say this, Xu Qingyan had no choice but to walk to Zhang De's side, take Zhang De's hand, and stay with Zhao Junchen: "Yes, Father-in-law Zhang, it's so late, let's rest in this Lu'an Mansion for one night." ”

Between the handles, a silver ticket with a face value of 5,000 taels was already stuffed into Zhang De's hand.

After Zhang De peeked at the denomination of the silver ticket in his hand, he already smiled again, turned to Zhao Junchen and said: "Oh, it's not that our family doesn't want to rest, it's just that the saint can't do without our family's service. ”

Zhao Junchen nodded, with a look of admiration, and said: "Father-in-law Zhang's loyalty to the monarch, the official admires, no wonder His Majesty has been waiting for his father-in-law all these years." ”

After Zhang De nodded, he seemed to think of something, patted his head exaggeratedly, and said: "Oh, look at our family's memory, just now you asked me about the previous dynasty, but our family forgot, something did happen to the former dynasty these days." Just some time ago, His Majesty was going to tour south, but the household department had no money, so the big men of the previous dynasty dissuaded His Majesty together, and said that His Majesty's southern tour would inevitably cost the people and money, and swept away His Majesty's temperament, and His Majesty was unhappy about this these days. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang De glanced at Zhao Junchen and said with a smile: "However, Lord Zhao, you have always done things in the best line of your Majesty's mind, and your financial management skills are the best in the world. ”

Zhao Junchen nodded and said with a smile: "More guidance from my father-in-law." ”

………

After politely sending that Zhang De away, returning to the hall, and sending someone to invite Guo Linxiang, Zhao Junchen said to Xu Qingyan beside him: "This Zhang Gonggong, who speaks in a weird way, sounds really awkward. ”

Xu Qingyan looked disdainful, and said: "Hmph, since His Majesty handed over the inner library to the young master to manage a few years ago, almost everyone who sees the young master of these eunuchs is so virtuous, young master, why should you be polite to them." ”

While speaking, Xu Qingyan's face flashed with pain, and he muttered softly: "Five thousand taels, why don't I have a silver ticket with a small denomination, five thousand taels, it's really cheap that Zhang De......"

Hearing this, Zhao Junchen couldn't help laughing, and scolded with a smile: "You, what a miser." ”

Although he smiled, Zhao Junchen's eyes flashed with contemplation.

He now understood why Zhang De was hostile to him, and the reason was that Zhao Junchen was still in charge of the internal transportation warehouse.

The Inner Treasury, also known as the Inner Treasury, was the private treasury of successive emperors of the Ming Dynasty, which had always been in the hands of close eunuchs, but a few months ago, perhaps because of Zhao Junchen's superb financial management skills, the Deqing Emperor transferred the management of the inner treasury to Zhao Junchen. In this way, those eunuchs are missing an important source of power and wealth in their hands, and naturally they will not be treated to see Zhao Junchen.

After Zhao Junchen crossed over, he summed up three major crises for himself, one is that there are too many political enemies in the DPRK and China, the second is that the reputation between the government and the opposition is too bad, and the third is the hostility of the current crown prince Zhu Heyu to him.

But at that time, due to the incomplete inheritance memory, and Zhao Junchen forgot the origin of the inner carrier for a while, and now that he thinks about it, he still misses one - that is, the eunuchs' dissatisfaction with him!

The eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty could not be offended lightly, not only because most of them were cronies around the emperor and had a great influence on the emperor's ideas and decisions, but also because they themselves had the power to make people look at it, such as the secret agencies of the East Factory and the West Factory, which were in the hands of the eunuchs.

However, Zhao Junchen also has his own solution to the eunuch's dissatisfaction.

Although the inner treasury is a major power and financial source in the hands of the eunuchs, this power and financial resources have always been only in the hands of a few eunuchs, and the vast majority of eunuchs only take a share every year. As long as the interests of those eunuchs are taken care of and they don't feel any loss, then the vast majority of eunuchs will not only not be hostile to Zhao Junchen, but will also regard Zhao Junchen as their own.

And those eunuchs who were still dissatisfied with Zhao Junchen because they lost the right to manage the inner treasury could not threaten Zhao Junchen at that time.

The world is bustling, all for profit, but also for profit, because of the contradictions arising from interests, for Zhao Junchen, is often the best contradiction to solve.

It's like that Zhang De, who was originally hostile to Zhao Junchen because of the matter of the inner library, but as soon as the five thousand taels of silver tickets were stuffed into his hands, he immediately changed his attitude and greeted Zhao Junchen with a smile.

………

"However, after all, it was negligence, and after returning to Beijing, this matter must be resolved first."

In his heart, Zhao Junchen subconsciously muttered to himself.

Xu Qingyan next to him listened curiously and asked, "Young Master, what is negligent?" ”

Zhao Junchen explained: "Since I was hit on the head with a stone, although my consciousness has not been damaged, many unimportant things have been blurred in my memory. ”

Saying this, after making up for the loophole that Xu Qingyan had asked Xu Qingyan about Zhang De's origin before, Zhao Junchen continued: "The reason why I said that I was negligent is because these days, I have actually ignored the hostility of those eunuchs towards me because of the matter of Neiku, if I had thought about it earlier, I would never have delayed in Lu'an Mansion for so long." ”

Xu Qingyan was puzzled: "Young Master, why do you say that?" ”

Zhao Junchen sighed and explained: "Now that I say that the Holy Family is good, but the Holy Family needs to be accompanied by His Majesty for a long time and constantly reinforced, otherwise it will slowly fade." And I stayed in this Lu'an Mansion for two months, which was nothing, but if those eunuchs sow discord in front of His Majesty all day long, I can't justify it in time. Therefore, if I had thought of the hostility of those eunuchs towards me, I would never have left the capital for two months. But now it seems that His Majesty is still a saint to me, I am afraid that this is because His Majesty is too kind to my saint, and those eunuchs cannot be shaken in a short time, and secondly, because those eunuchs themselves did not think that I would leave for such a long time, and I have not had time to arrange. ”

After a pause, Zhao Junchen continued: "However, I have said before, from now on, we must make more friends and less enemies, these eunuchs accompany His Majesty every day, and they cannot be offended, and after returning to Beijing, we must also make good friends with them, if we can form allies with these eunuchs, we will be able to use their places in the future, but there are too many." ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Junchen warned Xu Qingyan: "And you, don't scream one by one in the future, if it is spread and they know, those eunuchs will hold grudges very much, and it will be difficult to be with us in the future." ”

Xu Qingyan looked reluctant, but still said, "I understand, young master." ”

………

While the master and servant were talking, Guo Linxiang had already returned to the main hall under the leadership of his subordinates, and after taking a seat, he asked Zhao Junchen, "My lord, are you ready to return to Beijing?" ”

Zhao Junchen was slightly stunned and asked, "How did Boss Guo know?" ”

Guo Linxiang said with a smile: "His Majesty's grace to the adult's holy family is known to the whole world, and everyone knows that His Majesty not only favors the adult, but also can't do without the adult, so as soon as this angel comes, I wonder if His Majesty is going to urge the adult to return to Beijing." ”

Zhao Junchen laughed and said, "Boss Guo is a smart person. ”

After Guo Linxiang was polite, he picked up the "Record of Locust Eradication in Lu'an Mansion" and asked Zhao Junchen: "My lord, what do you think of the printing of this book?" ”

Zhao Junchen hesitated: "If this book can be published in the world, it is naturally good, but the meaning of speaking for this official is too obvious, and it is easy to provoke tongues. ”

"Wisdom of the Lords,"

After the publication of "Lu'an Mansion Locust Eradication Record" was decided, the two talked for a while, Guo Linxiang saw that it was getting late, and it was not good to disturb Zhao Junchen anymore, so he said goodbye to Zhao Junchen with interest.

Before Guo Linxiang left, Zhao Junchen invited with a smile: "This official plans to leave Beijing the day after tomorrow, and tomorrow there will be a banquet to entertain local officials in Lu'an Mansion, as well as the elderly merchants, and Boss Guo must come at that time." ”

Guo Linxiang nodded and said, "Naturally, this is an honor in the next place." ”
