Just when Zhou Zhong and Wang Lun were talking about Ashikaga Kazuki and their missions, Wu Shan also arranged Ashikaga Kazuki and them to a large mansion not too far from the imperial city, and his Jinyi Wei also lived near the mansion, prohibiting anyone from approaching here.

After arranging Ashikaga Kazuki, Wu Shan immediately went alone to the Yamen of the North Town Fuji of Jinyiwei and asked to see his immediate boss Qian Ning. Qian Ning was not surnamed Qian, but because he was adopted by the eunuch Qian Neng when he was a child, he changed his surname to Qian, and later Qian Neng died, Tuen family, Qian Ning entered the Jinyi Guard, and became a small hundred households.

Qian Ning himself learned a good martial arts, especially good at riding and shooting, coupled with shrewdness, he soon got married to Liu Jin, who was proud of the spring breeze at that time, and met Emperor Zhengde through Liu Jin, and the Zhengde Emperor, who was very good at martial arts, saw Qian Ning's martial arts, and immediately had a feeling of hating each other, so he accepted him as his own son on the spot, and promoted him to be a thousand households in Jinyi, specializing in doing things for himself, it can be said that except for Emperor Zhengde, no one has the right to command Qian Ning.

It is precisely because of Zhengde's appreciation that Qian Ning soon became a special existence in Jinyiwei, he had Wu Shan's henchmen under him, and he didn't put anyone in his eyes at all, even Liu Jin, who recommended him at the beginning, he was only respectful on the surface, but behind him was not to give the other party at all, this incident made Liu Jin angry at that time, and scolded Qian Ning for being ungrateful, but unfortunately Qian Ning was deeply trusted by Emperor Zhengde at that time, Liu Jin scolded and scolded, but he didn't dare to take Qian Ning what to do.

Later, Liu Jin fell. Although Qian Ning is also one of Liu Jin's nominal henchmen. But he was named by Emperor Zhengde and saved. And he was promoted again to be the commander of the Jinyi Guard, in charge of the entire Jinyi Guard, and although he is a foreign minister, he can enter and exit the leopard room at will, and he is usually inseparable from Emperor Zhengde, as long as the ministers see Qian Ning in the palace, they know that Emperor Zhengde must be nearby, which can be since the fall of Liu Jin. Qian Ning has become the most trusted person by Emperor Zhengde!

Speaking of Qian Ning and Liu Jin's personalities are very similar, they are very obedient in front of Zhengde, but they are arrogant and domineering outside, for example, Dongchang originally had the responsibility of supervising Jinyiwei, but after Qian Ning took charge of Jinyiwei, he pressed Dongchang under him, but Zhang Rui, the eunuch of Dongchang, didn't even dare to fart, and he didn't dare to disobey Qian Ning's orders at all.

It's a pity that although Qian Ning is trusted by Emperor Zhengde, he is not a eunuch after all, and it is impossible for him to sit in the position of a palm seal eunuch. Therefore, although Qian Ning is in charge of Jinyiwei, he cannot be as powerful as Liu Jin. At most, some middle- and low-level officials are more afraid of him, but ministers like Li Dongyang can still not give Qian Ning face.

Generally speaking, Qian Ning stays in the leopard room to accompany Zhengde every afternoon, but a few days ago, he had already received news from Wu Shan, knowing that he would come back this afternoon, so he deliberately did not enter the palace today, but stayed and waited for Wu Shan.

In Qian Ning's study of the Yamen of Fusi in Beizhen, Wu Shan was reporting to him what he had seen and heard when he was by Zhou Chong's side, as well as their experiences along the way, etc., while Qian Ning sat behind the table and listened very carefully, interrupting Wu Shan from time to time to ask a few questions, and every time he asked the key point, which made Wu Shan also admire his boss's ability.

After Qian Ning understood Wu Shan's experience of staying by Zhou Chong's side for a year, he stood up and said: "Wu Shan, you have done a good job, now you will follow me into the palace, and Your Majesty is also waiting for our report." ”

"Now?" Wu Shan looked out the window with some surprise, just when he was reporting, the sun had already set, and the whole sky had already darkened, it was estimated that now that the palace gate was closed, they couldn't enter the imperial city at all at this time?

Qian Ning naturally knew what Wu Shan was thinking, and said lightly at the moment: "You just follow me, in the entire city of Beijing, there is no place where Qian can't enter!" ”

Hearing Qian Ning's tone of speech, Wu Shan also felt in his heart, he suddenly remembered that the Qian Lord in front of him was not Zhou Chong's kind of good character, the other party hated others to question his ability the most, and he had been by Zhou Chong's side for a long time, and his speech became a little casual, but he didn't expect that before he knew it, he had already committed this taboo of the other party.

Thinking of this, Wu Shan's cold sweat was about to come down, but fortunately, his reaction was very fast, and he stepped forward and said with a strong smile: "The commander made the adult misunderstand, but the subordinates got a few special seasonings and ingredients from Zhou Gongzi, plus it was so late, so I invited the adults to eat, I didn't expect the adults to come first, and they had to worry about entering the palace to report to His Majesty at such a late hour, which really made the subordinates feel ashamed!" ”

Hearing Wu Shan's obvious sycophants, Qian Ning showed a smile, walked to Wu Shan's side and patted him on the shoulder and said: "Wu Shan, you are a smart person, you must pay more attention to what you say and do in the future, and when Zhou Gongzi's side understands the matter, I will give it to His Majesty, maybe it will not be difficult to do something or know something in the future!" ”

"Thank you for the promotion!" Wu Shan said excitedly, looking at his appearance, it seems that he is really looking forward to the upcoming promotion, but no one knows what to do, Wu Shan is a little excited in his heart at this time, and he didn't feel it before, but when he saw Qian Ning again, and what happened just now, this made Wu Shan suddenly feel that instead of staying in the capital as a high-ranking official like walking on thin ice, it is better to be free to be the manager of his own chamber of commerce in Shuangyu Port, at least there is no need to worry about offending people with a casual word, and he will not be able to eat and walk around.

At that moment, Wu Shan followed Qian Ning out of the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen, and then rode on a horse and galloped to the imperial city, and when he came to the gate of the imperial city, as he expected, the gate of the imperial city had been locked, but after Qian Ning took out his waist card from his waist, the forbidden army guarding the gate in the city immediately opened the gate and let him go. This made Wu Shan also shocked, it seems that after the fall of Liu Jin, Qian Ning's power has also increased rapidly, as a foreign official, he can enter and exit the imperial city at night, which is simply incredible.

After entering the imperial city, Wu Shan followed Qian Ning to the leopard room where Emperor Zhengde lived, which was the home that Emperor Zhengde built for himself, where he could play as he wanted without abiding by the rules of the inner palace.

At this time, it was completely dark, Emperor Zhengde was too happy to play today, Gu Da urged him to eat dinner several times, but he refused, so he waited until now, Zhu Houzhao felt a little hungry, and asked Gu Dayong to order someone to prepare dinner, and just sat down to eat, but Qian Ning came with Wu Shan.

If it was someone else's words, Gu Dayong would definitely block and not let him in, but Qian Ning, like him, was the most trusted person of Emperor Zhengde, so Gu Dayong did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly went in to report, but Qian Ning was immediately summoned, and Wu Shan was waiting outside the palace gate for the time being, and he could only enter when he let him in.

Originally, Wu Shan thought that he would have to wait a long time before he could be summoned, after all, Qian Ning had already asked about his experience before, and at the same time, he also had a clear understanding of Zhou Chong's character, and then he only needed to report to His Majesty, of course, the biggest credit would also be credited to Qian Ning, after all, who made the family his boss? At most, I was just summoned after the last day, and then answered a few questions from His Majesty.

However, Wu Shan guessed wrong this time, just a while after Qian Ning entered, he was notified by the little eunuch in the palace, saying that His Majesty was going to summon him, which made Wu Shan also surprised, and immediately straightened his clothes and bowed his head into the hall, shouting Long live and making a big salute, only then did he hear Emperor Zhengde's voice say strangely: "Wu Shan, you don't have to be polite, there are no outsiders in the palace, you just stand up straight and reply!" ”

"Your Majesty!" It was not the first time Wu Shan had seen Emperor Zhengde, and naturally he knew some of his temperament, so he stood up and looked up at it, and found that the big man sitting on the seat was holding the pig's trotters in both hands to gnaw on the incense, and there was no trace of what an emperor should be, no wonder his voice was so weird just now, and it turned out that his mouth was full of food.

Seeing Wu Shan stand up, Emperor Zhengde did not rush to ask him, but after gnawing the pig's trotters in his hand very cleanly, he wiped his hands and said: "Wu Shan, tell me in detail about your experience of contact with Zhou Chong in the past year, remember, I want to listen to the details, no matter how big or small the matter is, as long as it is about Zhou Chong, no matter how big or small, you have to tell it all!" ”

Hearing Zhengde speak to himself in a commanding tone, Wu Shan also felt a sense of heart, and stood up straight at the moment from his arrival in Songjiang Mansion, and then how to enter the Zhou Mansion to gain Zhou Chong's trust, and told the tragic situation of the Zhou Mansion during that time, as well as Zhou Chong's efforts to rescue the victims outside the city.

Wu Shan and Zhou Chong have known each other for a year, in this year, he has been secretly observing Zhou Chong, so he also knows Zhou Chong's affairs very well, and now he needs to tell everything in detail, which naturally takes a long time, and Wu Shan has not only not eaten dinner so far, but also has not even drunk saliva, so after talking for a while, he feels that his throat is about to smoke.

Fortunately, Emperor Zhengde was very considerate of Wu Shan, and when he heard that his voice was wrong, he immediately asked someone to send tea to Wu Shan, and Wu Shan hurriedly stopped and drank a few sips, so that he could insist on telling all the things of the year, and the most Lu later said that Zhou Zhong was preparing gifts for His Majesty the Emperor, for which he racked his brains, and it was not easy to prepare the gifts after the most Lu Dynasty, and Wu Shan in order to show his ability, he also deliberately recited the gift list in front of Zhengde in advance.

"Interesting! It's so much fun! After hearing this, Emperor Zhengde stroked his palms and smiled, "The gifts that others give to me are either gold and silver treasures, or rare antiques, but this is the first time I have seen someone give me a cannon as a gift, and there are also two kinds of food crops, which makes me really want to see this Zhou Zhong immediately!"
