Qin Lin came out of the East Factory and walked slowly down the street with his head down.

Several pro-soldier lieutenants with strong martial arts wore civilian clothes and followed behind, and when they saw that the self-owned official was thinking about something, they consciously took a few steps back so as not to interfere with his train of thought.

Qin Lin handed over the jade carving chapter to Feng Bao, and he would definitely be able to use Feng Dugong's hand to make Queen Wang fall on his heels, and avenge Qingdai's arrow.

However, as long as the queen is not deposed and not thrown into the cold palace, she is always a regular bomb, in the final analysis, she is not only Wanli's original wife, but also the dignified lord of the six palaces, Qin Lin was hated by her, one day she blew the pillow wind in front of Wanli, and stumbled Qin Lin at the Empress Dowager Li, which was really troublesome.

If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves, how can there be a reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days?

It is true that Wanli and Queen Wang do not have a very good relationship, but in general, he is still relatively protective of this queen, and Qin Lin, after all, is just a courtier, even if he makes great achievements, he is only a courtier. has always been with the king like a tiger, the emperor's mental skills are the most unpredictable, although Wanli is young, he was born with a mean and unkind, extreme and stubborn temperament, no matter how good others are, he will only be grateful for a while, and others are slightly inferior to him, but he will hold a grudge for a lifetime.

Qin Lin's current saint is Youlong, but he may always be in the emperor's heart, and the palace still has the queen king's regular bomb, and it is still a matter of knowing who will kill the deer when the time comes.

Qin Lin also wanted to put his hand into the palace, but after all, Jinyiwei was a military foreign official, and many things involving the palace were not very convenient, and doing it too obviously would cause the court to be suspicious, so the gain would outweigh the loss.

Some time ago, I discussed with Xu Wenchang, and there are four main lines for the situation in the palace:

One is Zhang Cheng and Zhang Xiaoyang's uncle and nephew, which is a relatively close alliance, but Zhang Cheng, as a eunuch of the Sizha Supervisor Bingbi, is also ambitious, and he is not so easy to get along with, and whether the "comradeship-in-arms" with Zhang Xiaoyang can withstand the test of the imperial court in the future is also a question.

The second is Feng Bao, Qin Lin and him are like friends and enemies, not enemies and not friends, when they have common interests, they join forces, and when there are contradictions, they fight with each other, Feng Dugong's side is actually more unreliable than the uncle and nephew of the Zhang family.

The third line is a pharmacy that has recently been set up through Li Jianfang to deal with "high-calcium tablets" for eunuchs who lack hormones and are prone to osteoporosis. Li Jianfang is Qing Dai's uncle, and he is naturally Qin Lin's faction in the official field, and he is even more desperate to get him to the position of the envoy of the Tai Hospital for him. Through the conversations between the eunuchs during consultations and selling medicines, it is true that all aspects of the palace can be learned, but the sources are too broad and the contact level is too periphery, and it is not easy to get high-value core secrets.

The fourth line is Qin Lin's little sister, the eldest princess Zhu Yao, but she rarely gets the love of the queen mother and the royal brother in the palace, and the information she knows is extremely limited, and it can only be regarded as better than nothing in terms of intelligence collection alone. It would be nice if there was any way to directly touch the more core positions in the palace and even contact one of the Empress Dowager Li, Wanli or Empress Yao.

Qin Lin thought so. Walking to the fork in the road between Dongchang Street and Leopard Fang Hutong, he suddenly heard the sound of people in the northeast, Qin Lin looked up and saw that there was a sea of people on Shuangnian Street.

Asked passers-by for advice, it turned out that today I was meeting the temple fair of Longfu Temple.

Longfu Temple is located in the west of Dongsi North Street, was founded in the Ming Dynasty Jingtai three years, is the only temple in the capital where Fan (Lama) and Zen (monk) are stationed together.

The temple fair it holds is particularly lively, you can buy all kinds of local products at the temple fair, you can eat a variety of local snacks in Beijing, you can see the folk opera of Beijing, so every time the people of Beijing and the villagers in the suburbs of Beijing will come to catch the excitement, and from time to time there are dignitaries and envoys of foreign domains to come to cheer.

Qin Lin remembered that when she was still in Qizhou, Qing Dai liked all kinds of gadgets the most, she was in a bad mood recently, buy a few and go back to make her happy, in addition, that guy Ah Shi is very fond of sweets, and he brought some chestnut cakes, jujube cheese and the like at the temple fair, which must be very suitable for her appetite.

So Qin Lin turned onto Shuangnian Street and walked towards Longfu Temple.

I saw a big temple with red walls and yellow tiles from afar, the square in front of the temple was bustling, shoulder to shoulder, people crowded with people, men and women, old and young, I don't know how many, people blow candy, people who knead dough, sell pear paste candy, and tie lanterns...... All kinds of vendors set up stalls to sell things, which is dazzling. ,

Several forty or fifty-year-old aunts walked past Qin Lin, with green cloth buns on their heads and leggings under their feet, and at first glance they were peasant women on the outskirts of Beijing, carrying some Liubiju pickles and eight large pastries in their hands, and walked over happily.

An aunt smiled and pointed to the eight large pieces in her companion's hand: "Tsk, hawthorn cake, rose cake, jujube paste cake, his third aunt, you buy so many snacks for Xiaozhuzi to say that his daughter-in-law is for tea?" ”

The peasant woman carrying the snack was beaming: "Do you have to treat yourself to it?" This year, our family also saved two money, and his father said that the Lantern Festival also changed the rules of the people in the city, and he tasted these eight big pieces at home, haha, let's also burn a handful of bags. ”

The aunt who dragged the Liubiju pickles also laughed: "Isn't it, we are blessed in Wanping County, Master Huang is a good official, what kind of new deal does Zhang Xiangye do, what whip law is practiced, the tax of our small family mud leg stall is a lot less than in the past, and every family has saved a few pennies more!" ”

Several peasant women walked away with a smile, and their words were listened to by Qin Lin word for word, and a knowing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The peasant woman mistakenly said that Zhang Juzheng's "One Whip Law" was the whip law, but the facts were not wrong, Zhang Juzheng implemented a new policy, cleared the acres of land concealed by the powerful landlords, reduced the burden of the poor people, cracked down on the evil behavior of the wealthy families who forced the people to surrender their land, and vigorously curbed land annexation.

Wanping County Hehuang Jiashan is a rare Qing official, capable member, the implementation of the new policy spared no effort, the foot of the Son of Heaven Wanping County people are really well-known.

Zhang Juzheng's new policy was fully rolled out, Qi Jiguang won a big victory in Jizhen again, and the internal and external troubles of the Ming Dynasty were flattened a lot.

In terms of it, the major case of Caoyin robbery was cracked, Zhao'an Wufeng maritime merchants opened up the southeast ban, governed the Yellow River, dug out Yang Zhao, a big corrupt official who destroyed the border defense, and Jizhen won a great victory...... Qin Lin participated in the piles, and even played a major role, and the Zhongxing situation of the Ming Dynasty also had a lot of credit for him!

Qin Lin's mood suddenly became better, he walked around here, looked there, picked out a few snacks and gadgets and bought them in his hands.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd in front of them, a group of people were shouting around it, and some people were whistling, and the noise was particularly noticeable.

Qin Lin was curious, so he walked in that direction.

Although the crowd was surrounded by water, Qin Lin was surrounded by a few pro-military captains with high martial arts who were responsible for opening the way, and he didn't see how they squeezed or pushed, so the onlookers in front couldn't stand still, and automatically separated to both sides, making way for Qin Lin.

When he walked over and took a look, he saw that several lamas in the middle of the crowd were arguing with a young girl, Qin Lin was suddenly surprised: Hey, this is Zheng Zhen Zheng girl who has seen two faces, why did she quarrel with Lama?

Zheng Zhen was entangled by a few lamas, and he was really depressed.

Recently, her luck has been extremely unlucky, her father's illness at home costs money like water, and the doctor she invited not only has to consult a meeting, but also adds a tael to the consultation fee on a street, and the medicine used is either ginseng or Ganoderma lucidum, which is so expensive that it is deathly.

But my brother is not angry, some time ago I fell into the trick of the Wu family, and almost lost all the money on the gambling table, but recently this child is no longer gambling money, but all day at home, as if he has lost his soul, he quarrels with his sister-in-law if he is not satisfied, but he ignores the business, and throws it all to her sister who has not left the cabinet.

The Wu family's side is pressing step by step, chasing to seize the Zheng family's industry, and Zheng Zhen is getting more and more difficult day by day.

Helpless, she finally made up her mind and decided to be a palace maid.

If the palace maid of the Forbidden City wants to say that there is any power that can protect the family, it will make people laugh and lose their big teeth, but who can guarantee that the young palace maid will not attract the emperor's attention one day and fly up the branches to become a phoenix? So as long as a girl from a poor family becomes a palace maid, no one dares to mess with her maiden family easily in the past few years when she is young, and she is not afraid of 10,000 yuan.

Of course, there are thousands of palace maids in the Forbidden City, and how many of them can successfully get on the throne? The vast majority of them die alone in emptiness and loneliness.

It's just that the Zheng family has reached such a situation, and Zheng Zhen is forced to have no choice but to walk into the palace and strive to let the family breathe a sigh of relief. ,

Who knew that the road to the palace was not smooth.

The girls who lived in the draft to enter the palace, and the girls whose appearance was worse than Zheng Zhen and whose temperament was not as smart as her were all selected - after all, thousands of palace maids could not all be Tianzi and national colors.

It was the turn of the draft girl at the end of last year, Zheng Zhen hurried to report the name, but the last pass to select the show girl, that is, the physical examination, she was at home but she didn't come to the left and right, and finally inquired, saying that something happened in the palace, and the chickens and dogs in the Forbidden City jumped, and the matter of selecting the show girl was delayed.

Encountering such a situation, Zheng Zhen really couldn't cry or laugh, thinking that maybe she was too unlucky, so when she was at the Longfu temple meeting, she came to incense, hoping to transfer qi.

As a result, as soon as she burned incense and walked out of the temple gate, several lamas chased her out, saying that she had stolen the magic weapons in the temple.

This is a disaster, Zheng Zhen is so angry that her face is red, she is already spicy by nature, and she is not ashamed in front of so many people, she crosses her waist and argues with Lama: "Blind your dog-eyed girl, my home is east of the moat, the famous kiln Zheng family, I will steal your magic weapon?" ”

There are a few uncles and aunts who are helping on the side: "That's right, the Zheng family has a kiln, the family is not short of money, and they won't steal your magic weapons, don't make a mistake a few monks." ”

"That's not necessarily," there was a sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked guy in the crowd, and said in a weird manner: "Zheng Xiaoniang's brother eats, drinks, prostitutes, and gambles, and has already emptied his family, and the day before yesterday I saw Wu Gongzi go to her house to collect debts, maybe Zheng Xiaoniang suddenly thought about it......"

Many people know about the Zheng family's elder brother's eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling, and after listening to this person's statement, the uncles and aunts who helped him just now stopped talking.

Zheng Zhen was so angry that he stomped his feet and said, "No matter how poor my family is, I won't steal other people's things." ”

Several lamas wore monk's robes with one hand and one hand exposed, and wore lama hats like a broom, and the first one was born with a particularly oily head and a smooth brain, smiling and saluting around: "Everyone, my magic instrument is a small prayer wheel cast in gold, only slightly larger than a finger, delicate and lovely, inlaid with all kinds of treasures, very valuable, my junior brother saw Miss Zheng take it down from the Buddha shrine and hide it in his arms. ”

Another lama who looked wooden clasped his palms together: "We believe in the Buddha, and we never lie about it, and the little monk did see Miss Zheng stealing the prayer wheel with his own eyes." ”

"Nonsense, nonsense!" Zheng Zhen was so anxious that tears were about to fall, and he said in a loud voice: "I didn't steal your prayer wheel, I didn't steal it." ”

The slick smile on Lama's face flashed, and he quickly pretended to be extremely honest: "The Buddha is above, Miss Zheng has thought about it for a while, as long as she hands over the baby, we will not care." ”

It was the sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked guy who shouted in the crowd: "Little lady Zheng, you just hand over the baby, Master Deleng said that he doesn't care, why are you stubborn to the end?" ”

"Miss Zheng, if you don't hand over the treasure again, the poor monk has to change your body in order to protect the Dharma!" Delenyin smiled and forced a step forward.

The people didn't seem to believe it, but when they looked at it, they suddenly knew that things were not simple, how could they search the young woman's body at every turn?

The slippery lama is called Deleng, it is the great lama of Longfu Temple, the Ming Dynasty used the Lama to envelop the forces of Uszang and Mongolia, so they were extremely tolerant, but it made these lamas rampant and domineering in Beijing, and ordinary people dared to be angry and dare not speak.

Zheng Zhen was so anxious that she couldn't do it, look at a few lamas who smiled evilly and came around, even if she didn't find anything in the end, she was searched in broad daylight, her reputation was ruined, what else to talk about when the draft girl entered the palace?

"Do you still have the law of kingship?" Zheng Zhen stood on tiptoe and looked back, and there were several officials wearing red and black hats not far away, and she hurriedly shouted: "A few poor masters, come here, Lama bullied me a weak woman......

It's okay not to shout, this shout, a few officials walked away.

Just kidding, the Deleng Grand Lama was enshrined in Longfu Temple by the imperial court, and he was awarded the official position of a five-grade monk, which can be provoked by a few officials? What's more, the imperial court wants to borrow them to entrap the nobles of Uszang and Mongolia, and will never do anything for the sake of small civil disputes.

"Alas, we can't help it, fortunately, there are so many people watching, just searching the body, and not losing a piece of meat," the street who walked away was uncomfortable, so he had to comfort his little conscience with lies.

Zheng Zhen was dumbfounded, he never expected the official to do this!

Deleng made a look, and several lama thieves came up with a smile, and when they saw Zheng Zhen's beautiful appearance, they swallowed saliva in their throats.

"Bold!"

Suddenly, there was a thunderclap in the clear sky, and the face of the lama who laughed the most thief changed to a heavy slap.
