The Wenyuan Pavilion in the southeast corner of the palace city, although it is in the palace city, is the core of the outer dynasty; And the celebrant on the west side of the east gate of the imperial city of Huangwa, although he is in the imperial city, is the core of the real inner dynasty. In particular, the inner study hall on the south side of the first gate facing east and west is equivalent to the Hanlin Academy of the eunuchs, and it is worth a hundred times as soon as you enter it.

At this moment, Li Rong, the eunuch of the celebrant and the eunuch Bingbi, was standing at the window, and when he saw the little firefighters who were sitting upright, no more than seven or eight years old, reciting the "Book of Rites" loudly, he couldn't help but nod happily.

"All kinds of twists and turns are about to pile up, Gonggong Li, do you still have the leisure and elegance to watch these little guys here?"

Dai Yi came in from the gate and saw a white-haired man standing here from a distance, and couldn't help but come over to take a look, only to find that it was Li Rong. Seeing Li Rong gesturing to silence him, he immediately looked at the recitation of the rites with great interest, he sighed lightly, and it took a long time before he retreated from the corridor with his back hand.

"Where is leisure and leisure, people are old, so look at them and think about our family when they are still young, it is inevitable that they will be a little envious of them...... Our family is no older than Lao Dai, and you are in the prime of life, and you are one day less than you live. Speaking of this, he shook his head with his hands on his sleeve and said, "Speaking of which, our family is a lot older than Grandpa Xiao, but I didn't expect him to be unable to hold it first." ”

Dai Yi knew that Li Rong and Xiao Jingming had been fighting in secret for decades, and this time was not so much sympathy for the opponent as a little emotion about the imminent summit. With a sneer in his heart, he smiled and flattered a few words such as the immortality of the sword, seeing that Li Rong was really full of energy, he wanted to persuade Li Rong a few words, the Tao was to beware of those juniors around the emperor, but in the end he stopped.

As soon as Li Rong entered, he saw Chen Kuan and the others standing up and saluting, so he greeted them one by one with a smile, and when he was about to go to his innermost room, he only heard a few exclamations outside, and then shouted loudly. Annoyed, he immediately turned around and walked out, but when he opened the curtain and looked out, his pupils contracted suddenly.

The dozen or so young and strong little flames were surrounded by no one else, it was Liu Jin, the eunuch of the Bell and Drum Division's palm print!

"Father-in-law Li."

Seeing Liu Jin smiling and saluting, Li Rong saw an inner servant in the courtyard who had been with him for many years, at this time, half of his face was swollen, and a bright red slap print remained on it was extremely dazzling, and he immediately asked angrily: "Liu Jin, can you see clearly, this is the master of ceremonies, not the place where you came to spread wild!" ”

"Gong Li's words are serious, the celebrant is the holy land of our lieutenants, who am I who dare to come here to spread wild?" Liu Jin replied slowly, and then made a disrespectful salute, "The matter is all because of today's Wenhua Palace, Xu Xun's request for merit was transferred to the cabinet without reporting to the emperor, and the clip was left during the period, so the emperor was furious and asked me to bring someone to investigate thoroughly." In fact, I know that Father-in-law Li has always done things without leakage, where can there be such negligence, but the holy order is in my body, and I have to make a show, and please don't take it to heart. ”

Speaking of this, without even waiting for Li Rong to turn his face, Liu Jin waved his hand and shouted: "Come on, check carefully, and you can't find the clip, don't blame me for sending you all to the Huangzhuang to farm!" ”

"Grandpa Liu, this celebrant has always been able to enter the official hall of the celebrant eunuch, even if you are ordered by the Holy Order, it is a big violation of the rules! When the previous dynasty learned about this, I am afraid that the old monks and scholars will also have a lot of criticism. Although Dai Yi and Li Rong can't say that they have a deep friendship, they can't stand by at this time and have to stand up. Seeing that Liu Jin really hesitated slightly, he struck while the iron was hot and said, "In this way, how about our family accompany Father-in-law Liu to inspect and inspect together?" ”

Liu Jin was just proud for a while, and he changed his face to be careless in front of these big people, but at this moment, he saw that many people around him were also pouring out, and his eyes were a little piercing, and he couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart. Knowing that Dai Yi's words were just trying to forbid himself from doing things, but where would he leave this kind of handle for others? Before Wenhua Hall came out, Xu Xun was full of confidence when he gave him a face-to-face lecture, and he was obviously sure, so he said with a smile: "Dai's father-in-law is the truth." Well, I'll listen to you, let's go in and check together...... Come on, take care of all around, no one is allowed to enter or leave the house, and no one is allowed to go out of the ceremonial supervisor! ”

Seeing that Dai Yi accompanied Liu Jin in, Chen Kuan saw that Li Rong's face turned pale with anger, and he hurriedly sent a small firefighter to make tea, and immediately pulled the person to stand under the shade of the tree with half a drag and half a drag, and then said in a low voice: "Why bother with these juniors." It's not that you don't know that this sharp-mouthed Liu is the most powerful, but the emperor's trust in him is heavy. With Lao Dai by his side, he can't play any entrained tricks, and Lao Dai's threshold is fine! ”

"Since he dares to come, he always has confidence...... I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm just afraid of ......"

Li Rong had a pimple in his heart about the matter of asking for merit. If you want to say that the emperor is the most concerned about the military, such a twist and turn is received by the general administration of the foreign court and sent to the ceremonial supervisor, he should immediately enter the imperial review - if Xiao Jingzai must be handled like this - but at that time, Xiao Jing was sick at home, and the ceremonial supervisor was in a mess, and he moved his selfish intentions, plus the three cabinet elders had many entrustments, so he held it in his hand and did not pretend to be in the imperial premise, but vaguely said that it was the general of the general and the general military office to ask for merit for the meritorious soldiers, and sure enough, the emperor was impatient. And the most important reason why he will do this is that Xu Xun's request for credit is not written accurately, and he has a posture of taking the greatest credit to himself. In this case, it is very unlikely that his practice will be exposed...... He was thinking about it in his heart, and suddenly he only heard Liu Jin's laughter from inside, and when he came back to his senses, he saw the curtain of the public hall over there move, and when he looked at it again, he found that it was Liu Jin who was smiling and pinching a few small pieces of paper out, and Dai Yi, who was one step behind him, looked very unsightly. Despite a chuckle in his heart, he walked out from under the shade of the tree and stepped forward quickly.

"I don't know which little monkey did things and threw away such an important thing!"

Just went in with Dai Yi to check it, Liu Jin knew very well what kind of material and style the three or four clips were because he and Xu Xun had passed the tone in advance, so they turned over the boxes and cabinets, and it didn't take much effort to find the things. And at this time, he couldn't help but realize that his attitude towards Li Rong was too disrespectful before, and the surname Suo was the first to excuse him, and then he said with a smile: "Gonggong Li is also old, and there are people who are not careful. I am in a hurry to return to the emperor, I dare not delay, and I will leave! ”

Seeing Liu Jin immediately leave in a hurry with a group of people, the large courtyard that was still crowded just now became empty, Li Rong's face changed several times, and finally looked at the eunuchs who looked at each other and sneered: "What else is there to see, the excitement is gone, it is difficult that Chengdu is too idle and can't be done, it is all scattered!" ”

The crowd was scattered like birds and beasts, but he stood motionless under the sun until a long time had passed. Finding that Chen Kuan was beside him, his face was full of worry, so he laughed and said, "Don't worry, our family is so old, we haven't experienced any winds and waves, and this thing can stand." ”

"But the emperor is not the first emperor after all......"

This was said like a mosquito barking, but Li Rong heard it clearly. He didn't know that Emperor Zhengde was not Emperor Hongzhi, he and Xiao Jing, Chen Kuan and others were all promoted to the priest during the Chenghua period, and he wanted to be polite to them no matter how horizontal Wang Zhi was, and after Emperor Hongzhi ascended the throne, he recalled Xiao Jing, who once went to the imperial mausoleum, and they were also appointed one by one, and the old people of the East Palace, such as Dai Yi, had to stand back. However, the attitude of the little emperor is obviously very different.

"It should be Xiao Jing."

Chen Kuan was a little suspicious of these brainless words at first, but he came to his senses in an instant-except for Xiao Jing, who had been in the master of ceremonies for many years, who could clean up this matter like this without knowing it? He took a deep breath, and his brows were already wrinkled: "Is Xiao Jing old and confused!" ”

"He's not confused, he wants to get out of the way, where can he not do something." Li Rong remembered the joy he felt when he learned that Xiao Jing was sick and retired, and couldn't help but feel that he was an idiot who had grown up to be so much older, and then gritted his teeth even more, "However, our family will not let those people go in vain." Lao Chen, let's go to Kunning Palace to see the Queen Mother. ”

Chen Kuan's eyes lit up, he nodded and was about to leave, when suddenly a person outside hurriedly entered the courtyard, and it was Wang Yue, who was not there before. Seeing this king approaching quickly, he shouted angrily: "Those little rabbit cubs, they dare to come to our celebrant to spread wild, it is simply bold!" ”

"Lao Wang, the matter has come to this, don't say more." Li Rong froze, and then said in a deep voice, "I told Lao Chen, I'm going to Kunning Palace to meet the Queen Mother, are you going to go?" ”

"Of course, how can this thing be so indifferent to me!" Wang Yue immediately agreed, but as the two of them walked out of the west-facing gate of the celebrant supervisor, he suddenly stood still, patted his head and said, "Look at my surname, forget all the important things." Do you know, I've heard some rumors in the palace. ”

Seeing that Li Rong and Chen Kuan were unimpressed, he sneered: "If this rumor is not bizarre, I will not take it out and tell you that it is about our Long Live Lord and that Xu Xun." Someone said with a nose and eyes to the outside world that Xu Xun is still unmarried, and Long Live Lord has not been rumored to have been fortunate with any palace maid, because there is some ambiguity in the middle. Thinking about it, Xu Xun can jump to his current position in a year, who knows if he has used some tricks that can't be put on the table? ”
