Chapter 567: Entering the Palace
Seeing Zhang Zhijie gradually getting closer, Zhang Yong smiled silently and said, "Let's go, go down and see the little marquis!" Ma Yongcheng nodded, and the two walked down the drum tower quickly and greeted Zhang Zhijie.
Although there was such a major event as kneeling at the noon gate, Ma Yongcheng and Zhang Yong also looked like mourning in front of the emperor, but in fact, there was no big emotional fluctuation in their hearts!
Because although this is also somewhat related to their power, it has little impact, such as whether the emperor finally drove the expedition or failed to drive the expedition, it did not have much impact on them.
But they unexpectedly found that Zhang Zhijie's face turned out to be a very dignified expression! They couldn't help but wonder in their hearts, Zhang Zhijie wouldn't be thinking about stopping the emperor's personal expedition, right?
It's definitely thankless, and it's a waste of money! Because although Zhang Zhijie has a certain foundation, the biggest reliance is still on the emperor's trust. What is the relationship between Zhang Zhijie and Emperor Zhengde, and the people around them are very clear!
That's not a simple relationship between monarchs and ministers, it's a deep friendship! Even if they are very envious of the people around the emperor, they all know that they will never be able to do it themselves, thinking that they are eunuchs and slaves!
Based on the feelings between Zhang Zhijie and Emperor Zhengde, whether it is Zhang Yong, Gu Dayong, Ma Yongcheng and others, they have never wanted to try to wrestle with Zhang Zhijie and compete with each other! Because they think they are not opponents, once they know the identities of the county lord of Qingning and Xiao Hongdou, these big eunuchs take care of them very consistently!
Fortunately, Zhang Zhijie is not arrogant, so although they have some disagreements with each other, they still have a good relationship with Zhang Zhijie!
But if Zhang Zhijie really relied on this relationship to stop Emperor Zhengde's personal expedition, he might succeed, but the price to pay may be alienation! The relationship with the emperor will become estranged!
This is incredible in the eyes of Zhang Yong and Ma Yongcheng, this choice is too much to lose, or there is no benefit at all! Do you expect those ministers to be grateful to Dade?
Then you're wrong, they just think it's what you should do! Like Zhang Zhijie who overthrew Liu Jin, he was praised at home, and led the troops to quell the chaos, which made great contributions to the court! But what's the use, when the reward was awarded, it was still fiercely opposed by the ministers, and there were still a lot of imperial histories staring at it!
Therefore, the rest is secondary, only the emperor's trust is the most important! Zhang Yong stepped forward and said with a smile: "The little marquis is here, and the emperor was still talking about you just now!" ”
Zhang Zhi nodded and said, "How is the emperor?" ”
"I'm angry, our family can't remember the last time the emperor was so angry!" Zhang Yong sighed.
"These civil officials are really, why are they so non-stop! If there is anything that can't be said well, it's like this at every turn, just like the emperor did something angry and resentful, isn't this sincere to the emperor? Ma Yongcheng was a little indignant.
Zhang Zhi said that he could only shake his head and sigh, and continued to walk towards the palace. Zhang Yong and Ma Yongcheng followed Zhang Zhijie closely, looking at the red colored python robe on Zhang Zhijie's body, the two of them were unnaturally half a head behind.
As he walked, Zhang Zhijie suddenly remembered a question, and frowned: "Why did the emperor suddenly want to come to the imperial expedition?" ”
Ma Yongcheng sneered: "It's not a little cub who has just entered the Qianqing Palace, it's really unbelievable!" Dare to say anything! ”
"Li Xing, it's not a little cub anymore, he's been messing around in the palace for 20 years, and this time he doesn't know how his brain was pumped, so he even suggested that the emperor drive the royal expedition himself!" Zhang Yong explained.
Zhang Zhijie thought about it carefully, and he didn't have the slightest impression of this person! However, Zhang Zhijie never thought that it would be Zhang Yong and Ma Yongcheng who suggested that the emperor drive the expedition in person!
Because they are not going to take this risk, now this Li Xing has suddenly become a famous figure from a nobody, but this is not a good thing, he has become a thorn in the side of I don't know how many people!
Seeing that Zhang Zhijie thought about it for a while, looking like he didn't know anything about Li Xing, Ma Yongcheng explained with a smile: "This Li Xing didn't catch up with the good time, his godfather was also the number one person in the palace back then, but it was a pity that he didn't deal with Wang Yue Fanting and them, and he died early, so this Li Xing has been suppressed all these years!" It's not a character in the palace, and it's normal that the little marquis hasn't heard of it! ”
Zhang Zhijie nodded when he heard this, most of the eunuchs in this palace are, and there are always a few who can get ahead, and many people can't get into the palace after decades of confusion, which is normal!
"This little cub proposed to the emperor that he should drive in person, and the emperor rewarded him with the errand of a celebrant eunuch, hehe, this little cub thought that he had survived!" Ma Yongcheng sneered!
Zhang Yong couldn't help but laugh when he heard this! Zhang Yong is the palm print eunuch of the celebrant eunuch, the boss of the celebrant eunuch, if you want to be a eunuch in the court, it is not a piece of cake!
Zhang Zhijie knew that this eunuch named Li Xing had committed a taboo, Zhang Yong and Ma Yongcheng, these big eunuchs, obviously didn't want to see him, and the ministers gritted their teeth at him one by one, eager to kill him quickly!
It's Zhang Zhijie himself who is very angry with this Li Xing's eunuch, if this Li Xing thinks that he will get out of it because of this, then he is very wrong! Maybe now that the emperor is thinking about him, he can still jump for a few days, but countless people look at him coldly, and he won't be able to jump for long!
After Ma Yongcheng finished speaking, he saw that Zhang Yong also sneered, and even Zhang Zhijie, who has always been reluctant to meddle in internal affairs, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Looking at Zhang Zhijie's solemn face again, Ma Yongcheng sighed in his heart, Li Xing, Li Xing, you said you can't die!
At this moment, the Qianqing Palace is very quiet, and all the palace maids and eunuchs are trembling, because the emperor has been so angry that he has dropped a lot of things, and they are all so frightened that they dare not come out, for fear that they will be shattered like the inkstones and vases on the ground!
There was silence in the entire Qianqing Palace, and the eunuchs and palace maids outside all lowered their heads, until a big red shadow came into their eyes, as if they were awakened, and they secretly glanced at it imperceptibly.
Followed by Zhang Yong, the eunuch of the celebrant and the eunuch Ma Yongcheng, the eunuch of the Dongchang Commander, the first and third ranked two great eunuchs in the palace, there are not many people who can make the two great eunuchs follow behind! In addition to the emperor, I'm afraid there is only the little marquis!
