The emperor was also very displeased when he saw Feng Bao's attitude, but there was no way, who let the family not be the factory supervisor of the East Factory now, this is not a shirk of responsibility, and of course he can't seek government if he is not in his position.

Over there, Wang Qiang also said weakly: "I think the emperor has an internal ghost in this matter, and the slaves are also in the celebrant all the year round and rarely come out, and I don't know much about the outside things, today I was poisoned with Gonggong Feng is an example, they want to blame the two of us, why do you call people under the banner of the celebrant eunuch, long live the lord, think about it, if we call them, how will they send unfamiliar people." ”

"You two are old people in the palace, and you have been in charge of the ceremonial supervisor for many years, you can take an idea, if the palace continues to be so chaotic, I think it will all be replaced, I don't have a sense of security at all."

Although the emperor's tone is gentle, but there is a needle hidden in the cotton, it is obviously a threat to them, that means, you don't care, I will replace you, see if you take care of it, this is also no way, I don't understand this Wang Qiang, I know this Feng Bao, he is loyal on the surface, but in fact, his heart is extremely sinister, this is also practiced in the palace, and the eunuchs of the same period as him, there are few good deaths, only Feng Bao climbed to the position of the chief eunuch step by step, and how many years have he worked.

Feng Bao and Wang Qiang saw that the emperor's attitude was not good, and they no longer shirked their responsibilities, Feng Bao said: "Long live Lord Qiyu, let's do this, you give me two days to find out about this matter, you see that my current body is not good." ”

The emperor was also very helpless, promoted a Chen Jiu, and before he could get acquainted with the situation, this happened, and the two of them had to say: "Okay, two days, I will wait for you, and now I will block the palace gate, these days I have changed the imperial guards to guard the palace gate, and a group of eunuchs are not allowed to go out, no matter what the result is for two days, I will wait for you, if there is no result after two days, I will take measures." ”

The two of them didn't say anything more, which means that they have softened, no matter how powerful a slave is, he is not working for the emperor, they all reluctantly stood up and knelt down to say goodbye, and the emperor did not keep it, they all did this, and there was no point in talking about it here.

After sending the two old eunuchs away, the emperor asked me: "Lan Yunjie, do you see if these two people have really been poisoned." ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen will tell you the truth, if you really want to make a mess in the palace, you can give this kind of medicine that makes people diarrhea, and you don't want to poison them directly, and you need to be so troublesome, since the emperor wants to rectify the palace, why not replace them."

"Alas, you don't know, this palace is not as good as the outside, you go and inquire, the eunuch in charge of this palace, the one is not related to them, it doesn't matter if you either go to the Huangzhuang or get it, the imperial tomb, I also want to replace them, it's not that simple, take your time."

"The emperor's ministers have a word, I don't know whether to say it or not."

"There are no outsiders here, just say what you have, I don't blame you for being wrong."

"The emperor's ministers said, since the palace has sent out those who don't deal with them, why don't we go to the Huangzhuang and the imperial tomb to select a batch to come back, those people will definitely be loyal to the emperor when they come back. They can't pull it if they want to, I don't know what the emperor thinks. ”

"Okay, that's right, why didn't I think of it, and I have to introduce a group of new people and replace them as soon as possible, for the sake of safety, I only need the old man of mine to serve here, but who will do this, and they can't be aware of it, you don't know, that Feng Bao is the person of the Queen Mother, even I can't help it, I can only slowly put him in the air."

After speaking, the emperor pondered for a while, and said, "Lan Yunjie, who will do this, what should I do?" ”

"I think it's better for the emperor to go to Manager Chen, they are already his subordinates, and it's better for him to pick them himself, so it's easy to use."

"No, this is not a matter of one or two days, it's that simple, besides, Chen Jiu still has to investigate the case in the palace, and it can't be done if he leaves here, I am still afraid that they will form a gang and bring down a Feng Bao and a Chen Jiu, even if Chen Jiu is my henchman, but what about me in the future, so I still don't want a gang to be too strong."

"Then the emperor should find another person to go, Mr. Chen can't do it alone, and then the palace is lonely, without help, I think that Su Si can be that day, and he is also loyal, and he has no power of his own when he just came to the palace."

"Yes, Su Si can too, I am also familiar with it, today he went out to do errands, and I will tell him when I come back."

"Your Majesty, it's time for Weichen to leave, and I'll go and see the princess."

"Okay, you go, remember to go to the ministry tomorrow, and find someone for me as soon as possible."

"That Weichen has retired, I will come again to ask for advice to Long Live Lord if there is something."

Out of the Qianqing Palace, I returned to Yongshou Palace, because of the disappearance of the little nobleman, the little princess felt uncomfortable, and watched a few palace maids dance shuttlecocks with Zihan in the courtyard. Seeing me come back, he came back and asked me, "Master Lan, do you have any news from the little nobleman?" ”

I shook my head and said, "Not yet, the emperor is already arranging a search of the whole palace, and it is estimated that it will be found soon, the princess is getting late, we should go back." ”

Because the little princess was not in a very good mood, and she didn't have much fun, and she didn't keep us, I took Zihan to the gate of the palace, of course, it was all martial law, I had to show the emperor's token, plus the guards knew me, so I let us out.

This time I didn't go to the carriage to accompany Zihan, but rode on a horse, all the way to the Wei Mansion, to the door, I was about to go back, looking at a sedan chair from a distance to this side, it looks like Wei Yunzhong, I simply don't leave, just ask him if there is a suitable candidate in his hand, or tomorrow I have to go to the Ministry of Officials to find someone, can it be done or do it as soon as possible.

When the sedan chair arrived at the door of the mansion, Wei Yunzhong got off the sedan chair, saw me here, and asked, "Yunjie is here, go in, what are you doing standing at the door." ”

I saluted: "Uncle, I sent Zihan back, and I happened to have something to look for you, so I am waiting for you to come back here." ”

"Okay, come in, what's going on in the house."

followed Wei Yunzhong into the house, the housekeeper saw that I was coming, sent the maid to make tea, Wei Yunzhong also went to the back to wash back, sat down and asked me: "If there is anything, you can tell me." ”

"Uncle is like this, the emperor asked me to pick a few officials who have rich and grain experience and have just entered Beijing in the local area, the grade is not too high, below the fifth grade, I don't know a few people, that Liu County ordered me to see that it is okay, so if he wants to come, he will be one person missing, please uncle give me a counselor."

"Well, I'll look for one that is more old-fashioned, and I don't have any background in the capital, I'll look for it in the next few days, and I'll inform you when I find it, and have you told Chen Jiu about your marriage."

"I haven't had a chance yet, there are a lot of things going on in the palace today, and I'm going to the emperor too."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

People are curious, especially the things in the palace are everyone's concern, seeing that I said something, Wei Yunzhong will definitely ask, I also want to tell Wei Yunzhong to let him go to the staff to see who did this, and then I told Wei Yunzhong all the things I saw, but I kept the news that the emperor was going to transfer the people from Huangzhuang back, after all, I don't know about it, it would be bad if it was spread.

After listening to this, Wei Yunzhong was silent for a moment before speaking: "This palace is too chaotic, and it is also to blame for the first emperor, at that time, I didn't care about anything, and all the rights were handed over to those eunuchs, so that they couldn't get rid of their tails, since ancient times, eunuchs can't interfere in politics, you see that the Ming Dynasty is good, the power of eunuchs is greater than the cabinet outside, so it's easy to make trouble, these eunuchs are not healthy because of their physical disabilities, if they gain power, the officials of the foreign dynasty will have a good life." ”

"Uncle, you see if Feng Bao did this strange."

"This can't be Feng Bao, although Chen Jiu took away his East Factory, but he hasn't reached the point of madness, I see that there is another force in the palace, and I want to blame them, that Wang Qiang is not Feng Bao's all the way, why bring Wang Qiang with me, I can't figure it out, the things in the palace are too complicated, we still have less peace."

"Yes, since I entered the palace, I haven't stopped, if I hadn't accompanied Zihan to the princess today, I wouldn't have wanted to go on this troubled water."

"Okay, let's not talk about this, have you gone there, Master Zhang, you can ask someone to bring that ginseng to me tomorrow, I'll go for a while, people helped so much last time, it's not good not to go."

"I haven't been there yet, it's not busy every day, I'll find some time to take a look."

"Contact more feelings, and you will have a backer in the future, you are a military attaché, and those scholars look down on you, so contact Zhang Juzheng more, his prestige as a scholar is very high."

"Thank you, uncle, I must go around more, it's not too early, I should go back."

"Why don't you eat before leaving, it's okay if you go back anyway."

I am worried about whether Wang Jinhuai is here, these days have passed, and he should come, he is one of the most important people in my silver account, and it will not work without him.

I excused Wei Yunzhong's stay and took Liu Lianjiang back to Yuma Lane, sure enough, Uncle Ran had already come with Wang Jinhuai, and he had been waiting for me in the living room for a long time, and Lao Liu also knew Master Ran, so he was talking to them, seeing that I was coming, they all got up to greet him, everyone was polite, and sat down again, I asked Lao Liu to go out and call a table of wine and food back.

A few people were chatting while drinking, and I asked Master Ran first: "Uncle Shi, is Xuanyun better, he was injured so badly last time, and I don't know how he is." ”

"It's much better, it's just that there is too much blood loss, the young people are in good health, and they are getting better quickly, it is estimated that they will be fine in a few days, you don't have to worry, Li Jianhua is also fine, they are young after all, just rest for a few days."

Wang Jinhuai asked me: "I don't know what I was asked to do in the capital, I stayed well in that Leiyun Village, and I really didn't want to come out." ”

"I called you here because I don't want to delay your fame, I have a good errand for you, I don't know if you can do it."
