It was already deep at night, and the light in the study room of Jin Zhongfu, the eunuch of the Si Li Eunuch located in Zuotiao Hutong, was still on.

Under the lamp, Jin Zhong is working on his book "Yu Shi Ren Feng". This book was compiled by Jin Zhong in 11 years, and most of it has now been completed, and it is only waiting for the completion of the compilation of the book to be published.

When compiling this book, Jin Zhong made special reference to Zhang Juzheng's "The Illustrated Narrative of the Emperor" and Jiao Hong's "The Illustrated Narrative of Yangzheng", both of which are imperial studies like Jin Zhong's "The Benevolence of the Imperial World".

The so-called imperial science is the study of how to be a successful emperor.

In the preface of the book, Jin Zhong wrote that once the book was compiled, it would be presented to the emperor. This was a situation that had never been seen in this dynasty, and eunuchs had always been able to make private suggestions to the emperor, and there was no systematic public advice.

A few years ago, Zhao Jingye, the former lieutenant of Fengyang Town, died of illness, and when the emperor consulted the candidate for Fengyang Town, Jin Zhong took the initiative to ask Ying to go to Fengyang.

It turned out that there were two, one was that Jin Zhong was old and did not want to compete for power in the palace anymore; The second is that Jin Zhong's ancestral home is Nanzhili, so he intends to end up in his hometown.

The emperor initially did not agree to Jin Zhong's trip to Fengyang, because there had always been a dispute with foreign dynasties, and Jin Zhong and Zhang Cheng supported the emperor among the ceremonial supervisors.

Although the country has been decided, but the relationship between the emperor and the foreign dynasty has not improved, especially the matter of the mine tax envoy "fighting" between the monarch and the minister is still very strong, at this time if Jin Zhong leaves, the emperor will lose an arm, so he does not agree.

However, Jin Zhong said in front of the emperor several times that he was old and homesick, and asked Zhang Cheng and others to help him, and the emperor's mind slowly changed, so he relieved himself and allowed Jin Zhong to go to Fengyang to guard after the New Year.

This time, it is difficult for the two monarchs and ministers to see each other again, so Jin Zhong's heart is very complicated. He has entered the Inner Study Hall with Wang An, the steward of the East Palace, since the sixth year of Wanli, and it has been nearly forty years now.

After appearing in the court, he served the emperor closely, and his feelings were far greater than others, and Feng Bao said that he was closer to the emperor than himself.

Therefore, he will no longer be able to serve the emperor in the future, Jin Zhong is somewhat sad in his heart. He intended to be able to complete the book "Imperial Benevolence" before going to Fengyang to defend it, and establish a system of public advice to the emperor in the inner court. If this system can be successfully established, he Jin Zhong will be respected by foreign dynasties, and it will be remembered for eternity, and more importantly, this book can persuade the emperor to be a good emperor.

It's really well-intentioned.

When Jin Zhong was immersed in compiling books, someone disturbed him. It was Jin Zhong's name, the eunuch in charge of the Qianqing Palace, and Jia Daquan, who was also a close attendant of the emperor.

"Ancestor, it's terrible, the emperor sent Father-in-law Wei to Dongchang! ...”

Jia Daquan was the first to know the news, and he was also the first to be anxious for Grandpa Wei. finally managed to change the value, and he didn't even have time to change his clothes before he went straight to the three alleys.

"Got it, it was Shi Yuanya who solved it." Jin Zhong still looked at the dozens of lines of small words he had just written.

"Ancestor knows?"

Jia Daquan was stunned for a moment, and then secretly laughed at his stupidity, his ancestor is a eunuch of Si Li Bingbi, can he not know that there is such a big thing in the palace?

"Shi Yuanya is from Ma Tang, the emperor handed over the matter to Ma Tang, Grandpa Wei must have no good fruit to eat, the ancestor can't watch Grandpa Wei have an accident..."

"When you come to me, do you want our family to come forward and beg the emperor to release Xiao Wei, or do you want our family to go against Ma Tang and make trouble in Dongchang?" Jin Zhong put down the brush and picked up the tea bowl.

"This..."

Jia Daquan didn't know how to answer this.

He lowered his head and thought about it, then raised his head and said: "Old Ancestor, everyone in the palace knows that Father-in-law Xiao Wei is a person under your name, if the old ancestor does not come forward, I am afraid that the palace will say that the old ancestor is easy to bully... And..."

"And what?"

Jin Zhong smiled, Jia Daquan pretended to be spitting, but he couldn't hide it from his old man.

"Ancestor, the city gate is on fire, and the fish in the pond are affected! If Xiao Wei's father-in-law is not protected, how can the ancestor protect himself? Jia Daquan finally said what was in his heart, of course, this is half public and half selfish. Gongxin, since Jin Zhong is concerned; Selfishly, he Jia Daquan's altars and jars are all bet on Wei Liangchen's side.

"Huh?"

Jin Zhong shook his head, "According to what you said, our family is going to come forward." ”

"The old ancestor came forward, and Xiao Wei's father-in-law must be fine." Jia Daquan is sure about this, because his ancestor is a eunuch with a pen, except for the grandfather Sun who has a palm print, who can speak more than his ancestor.

Jin Zhong said noncommittally: "Then what can our family do?" ”

Jia Daquan hurriedly said: "The old ancestor should go to see the emperor immediately and intercede for Xiao Wei's father-in-law, as long as the emperor is soft-hearted, this matter can be passed." ”

"Do you know what Wei Liangchen committed and asked our family to intercede for him?" Jin Zhong looked at the person he received twenty years ago, and this acute problem really hasn't changed at all.

"Know... I don't know. ”

Jia Daquan thought about it, and finally shook his head, he really didn't know. He only knew that Princess Shouning didn't know what crazy medicine she had taken, and she actually asked Xiao Wei's father-in-law to incense in front of the tablet of the Empress Dowager of Cining Palace. Then the emperor and the queen mother were furious when they found out, and then Ma Tang took someone to get Xiao Wei's father-in-law.

If you really want to say that the offender is also Princess Shouning, what does it have to do with Xiao Wei's father-in-law, God knows what the emperor thinks.

Of course, Jia Daquan only dared to slander in his stomach, but he didn't dare to say half a sentence.

"If you don't know, don't talk casually, and don't meet people casually." Jin Zhong picked up the brush, dipped it in some ink, and prepared to complete his painstaking work.

Seeing this, Jia Daquan said worriedly: "Isn't that little Wei Gonggong?" Ancestor..."

"Are you saying that our family will not be saved when they die?" Jin Zhong said as he wrote.

"Don't dare, don't dare!"

Jia Daquan hurriedly shook his head.

After writing a few lines, Jin Zhongfang raised his head and looked at Jia Daquan and said: "Daquan, the fewer people who know some things, the better, and the more people who know, the more people who know, but it is not good." ”

Jia Daquan heard it in his ears, but he didn't know what it meant.

"Remember, the emperor is also a good-looking person, some things have happened, and we as slaves and maids must not have happened, otherwise, the emperor will add fuel to the fire."

Jin Zhongrao glanced at Jia Daquan meaningfully, and continued: "When you go back, just act as if nothing happened, don't tell anyone about it, and don't mention it to the emperor... Our family is old, and we will go to Fengyang in a few days, and you will have to boil the days in this palace in the future. If you don't grow some heads, this head may fall to the ground one day... Go ahead. ”

"Hey, hey..."

After Jia Daquan came out in a daze, he couldn't figure out the meaning of what the ancestor just said, but he sighed in his heart: Face? The face of the emperor? ... Could it be that Xiao Wei's father-in-law and the princess really have a leg that makes the emperor lose face? ... Can... It shouldn't be, where did Father-in-law Xiao Wei get his leg?
