As a member of the imperial court, it was naturally impossible for Zhang Juzheng to go to Feng Bao in person, not because he was proud of his identity, but because the identities of the two were too sensitive, even if they really needed to be interviewed, they had to make an appointment in advance to find a place to hide in a secret place.

The person who reported the news did not find Feng Bao, last night, Xu Jue sent him 50,000 taels of silver tickets, for the marriage of Princess Yongning, so, after giving the song to the office, he looked at the time, and went directly to Kunning Palace, and heard that the Empress Dowager Li went to Cining Garden, and she was busy folding it out and running to Cining Garden.

Feng Bao has always been hugging each other when he travels, but now that he sees the Empress Dowager Li, he doesn't dare to put up a shelf, just entered Cining Garden, and saw someone on the side of Linxi Pavilion from a distance, so he hurriedly asked all the entourages to wait in place and walked over alone.

It is the end of May, the weather is already very hot, but the Linxi Pavilion is surrounded by water, surrounded by layers of blue leaves, and occasionally the wind blows, which is very cool.

The lotus flowers have not yet opened, Feng Bao is closer, but when he hears the sound of the piano, someone sings softly: "Hongchen is ridiculous, infatuation is the most boring, everything is empty, this life is not over, but the heart is not disturbed, I just want to exchange for half a lifetime of leisure......"

When he got closer, he found that Zhu Yiyi, the king of Lu, was sitting in front of a piano, hooking and smoothing the qin, and the person who sang was none other than the dignified Empress Dowager Li.

Walking to the court, he did not step forward directly, but stopped at the sound of the piano and finished singing, and then entered the pavilion and knelt down: "The old slave saw the Queen Mother, and saw King Lu Chitose, the mother and His Royal Highness are really good Yaxing, especially His Royal Highness, I haven't seen him for a few days, and his piano skills have grown again, and the old slave listens to the sound of the piano melodiously and freely, so as to get the essence of this song." ”

"The big companion is too famous, the lonely king just prefers this way, if you really want to talk about piano skills, it's far worse than the big companion." Zhu Yiyi behaved very modestly and said: "By the way, I heard that you recently got a good piano, named Ben Lei, the lonely king is envious, and he doesn't dare to cut his love, when will he let the lonely king appreciate it?" ”

Feng Bao smiled: "Your Highness, this is well-informed enough, what kind of reward is not rewarded, red powder is given to a beautiful woman, a sword is matched with a hero, and another day the old slave will be sent to His Highness's mansion." ”

Different from ordinary eunuchs, Feng Bao is a cultural person, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, omniscient, especially good at the piano, and superb skills, so, listening to him only praise Zhu Yiyi's piano skills, Empress Dowager Li not only did not have any displeasure, but was very happy, and said with a smile: "Don't compliment each other, Yongting (Feng Baozi Yongting), you are not staying in the celebrant supervisor?" Why did you think about coming to see the mourning family? ”

"The old slave is ashamed, Taiyue is not here these days, and the government is busy, so he can't take care of coming up to greet you."

The meaning of Feng Bao's words is nothing more than that the cabinet cannot do without Zhang Juzheng.

These words were in the heart of the Empress Dowager Li, and she was very happy when she heard it, but she didn't show it on her face, but said: "Taiyue has always known that he is capable of mourning the family, but Ziwei and Ru Mo are also cadres, what you say is a bit exaggerated, right?" ”

Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng cooperated happily, but in their hearts, they actually did not support Zhang Juzheng's retirement, and he smiled when he heard the words, and said: "Niangniang's phoenix eyes are like torches, that Zhang Puzhou and Shen Changzhou are indeed capable ministers, but it may be that the old slave and Master Taifu are used to cooperating, and they are a little unaccustomed to changing people at first glance." ”

"Well," Empress Dowager Li nodded: "Also, the two of you have been working together for more than ten years, right?" I heard the emperor say that when Taiyue returned to Beijing this time, his complexion was not bad, so he shouldn't be lazy again, right? ”

Feng Bao's heart moved, and said: "Niangniang misunderstood Taiyue, he is not lazy, but his body is really not good, but after Zicheng helped him recuperate during this time, it is said that the effect is still obvious." ”

If his body is good, the Queen Mother should not let him go.

"But how did the mourning family hear that he still wants to go back to Pinggu to recuperate?"

Feng Bao pointed to it and said: "The bare body and bones are not good, over the years, for the sake of our Daming, Taiyue has offended countless people, and I am afraid that there are some worries and fears." ”

Empress Dowager Li raised her eyebrows slightly: "The body is not afraid of the shadow, others can say whatever they like, and the mourning family and the emperor trust him." You go back and tell Taiyue, don't think too much, our mother and son, never go to the river and tear down the bridge. ”

Feng Bao was overjoyed and said: "With your words, if Taiyue still wants to beg, it won't be like that." ”

"Don't talk about him, let's talk about Zicheng, Shicai, listen to Yi Yi, in the past two days, the people in the capital have been talking about the bet between him and Qi Jiguang, and the mourning family has heard it, and they are really a little yearning, you say, which of them has a higher chance of winning?"

Zhang Taiyue has a successor, as soon as he finished speaking, he was involved in his son again, Feng Bao couldn't help but be a little jealous, but unfortunately his two nephews were not angry, if he could catch up with half of Zhang Zicheng, why did he bother so much to make money?

Thinking in his heart, Feng Bao smiled and said: "This kind of thing can be guessed by the old slave, the Gewu Institute is tightly guarded, and no idle people are allowed to enter, and the secrecy work is done well, and there is no place to listen to the news if you want to." ”

"The lonely king is looking forward to Zhang Yousheng, according to the "Ming Pao", once the wind steelmaking method can solve the wind problem, put into use, the steel smelted out, and use it to build firearms, the explosion rate will be reduced by at least eighty, and when the time comes, once all our troops are equipped with this kind of firearms, it will not be invincible, invincible!"

"Yes, the mourning family also thinks so, it is estimated that the thoughts of those people should not be much worse, go back and see Zicheng, remind him, such a big thing must be more careful, beware of villains."

Feng Bao was a little unimpressed, Gyeonggi Heavy Land, with that kid's current status, who would dare to make trouble? Isn't that the birthday boy eating arsenic to find death?

I wanted to think about it but didn't dare to say it explicitly, nodded yes, and agreed, and then, as if unintentionally, said: "By the way, Niangniang, Princess Yongning is fifteen years old this year, right?" ”

Empress Dowager Li said with a smile: "No, it's almost the age of Jilu, you are in charge of the celebrant and the celebrant and watched her grow up, and you have suitable children, but you have to worry about her." ”

This sentence is enough, Feng Bao responded with a smile, and did not mention Feng Bangrui's matter.

"By the way, have you discussed who to send to Liaodong ****?" Empress Dowager Li suddenly asked, the ceremony of sacrificing prisoners had just been held, and the interval was too short, so even if the great victory in Liaodong was not alive, Zhu Yijun had no intention of parading the prisoners again.

Feng Bao said: "It's easy to say here in the inner court, Your Majesty has decided to send Li Wenjin to his father-in-law, and there is no good person in the outer court, so Zicheng is the most suitable person to go, he is the founder of the Heavenly Battalion, but isn't it that his gambling contract with Qi Jiguang is coming to an end......"

"Well," Empress Dowager Li was noncommittal, silent for a moment, and suddenly turned around and said: "I haven't seen Zicheng's mother for a few days, Xia He, send someone to deliver the decree in the afternoon, and say that the mourning family misses her, and let her enter the palace to accompany the mourning family for dinner." ”

After that, he turned around and asked Feng Bao, "Is there anything else?" If there's nothing else to do, just go about it. ”
