Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun, although only eighteen years old, ascended to the supreme throne of the Ming Dynasty has been eight years, as the true son of the Central Celestial Dynasty, the upper pole, the lower pole, [***], in the four seas, the only person is the only one.

Once upon a time, Zhu Yijun, who was just ten years old, faced the difficult situation of his father's death and the suspicion of the lord Shaoguo, and Feng Bao secretly reported that Gao Gong, who was the minister of care for his life and the first assistant, openly questioned "how the ten-year-old prince rules the world", which frightened him and his mother Concubine Li Shi, fearing that Gao Gong, who was "unsubordinate", wanted to abolish the establishment.

Fortunately, there was a brave and loyal minister who was born out of thin air, turned the tide, and joined forces with Feng Daban to drive away the arrogant and domineering Gao Gong, save the crisis of the lord and the young country, and protect the orphans and widows to sit firmly in the country - the great loyal minister who is comparable to Zhuge Liang who was entrusted by Liu Bei and Xie An who supported the Jin family with one hand is naturally Zhang Juzheng, the minister of Jiangling who stands at the forefront of the civil official train and is in charge of the dynasty.

Since his accession to the throne, Zhu Yijun has been a good student of Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the emperor's teacher, for eight years...... watched Zhang Juzheng compose a picture scroll on the splendid rivers and mountains one by one.

But as he grew older, Zhu Yijun was no longer willing to live under the back of his teacher forever, he wanted to experience the sweetness of power himself, and he wanted to be as dictatorial as a real emperor.

Moreover, the strict discipline from the strict teacher Zhang Juzheng and the loving mother Empress Dowager Li made Zhu Yijun gradually have a rebellious mentality, and from time to time he complained privately to Zhang Cheng and Zhang Jing, who were more close to him.

Sometimes he even thinks that the turmoil caused by Gao Gong at the beginning of his ascension to the throne may be quite far from what Feng Bao said...... This kind of suspicion made Zhu Yijun more and more eager to get rid of the control, and also made him more and more impatient with Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao, many times this impatience will be transformed into resentment, pointing to the emperor Zhang Juzheng, who is now standing on the Danqi and in charge of the court, Feng Bao Feng Daban standing next to the throne, and even, vaguely pointing to the biological mother Empress Dowager Li who lives alone in Cining Palace.

The young emperor Zhu Yijun on the throne of the Imperial Palace was more eager for allegiance and respect than ever.

Zhonghe Shao music roared loudly, the beat was in line with the rhythm set by the sage, but the ministers were drowsy in the music, or they talked from ear to ear, and even Zhang Juzheng and Xu Wenbi, who were standing in the front row of civil and military officials, also showed impatience - for decades, they had heard these songs countless times, even Xianle was annoying to listen to them, not to mention that this Zhonghe Shao music was extraordinarily long?

In the back, there are some low-grade officials who face the monarch for the first time are slightly different, but either they are staring at the palace with an eager face, looking forward to Jane in the emperor's heart, or they are staring at their toes with sincere fear, lest they lose their manners in front of the king, and they are like mud pigs and tile dogs.

Only a young brocade official of the same age as himself standing in the back row, kept shaking his head in unison, his body swaying with the music, completely intoxicated by the syllables of Zhonghe Shao music.

Seeing this, Zhu Yijun's heart suddenly rose with a little joy, and he said left and right: "What is the name of the brocade-clothed official who is concentrating on listening to the holy music?" Why is everyone faint, but he is the only one? ”

Feng Bao is the big companion, the emperor sits on him and stands, Ben also stands next to the throne thinking about his own thoughts, thinking about the Sumeru Mountain that Yang Zhaogang, the governor of Qiliao, gave him a jade carving, not only the carving is exquisite, but the jade material that weighs 10,000 catties when it is complete is even more rare.

Emperor Wanli suddenly asked, Feng Bao cheered up, looked over there with wide eyes, and saw that it was an old acquaintance, Qin Lin Qin, and at a glance, he felt that his temples were jumping a little: This guy, what kind of moth is going to come out?

Although I wanted to slander Qin Lin a few words in my heart, I thought about it when I thought about it, that guy was covered in thorns, and he was just a four-grade commander, our family was like a jade and a pottery tool, and he couldn't be killed by him, so Feng Bao bowed his head and said: "Back to the emperor's words, the old slave knows that person, his name is Qin Lin, and he is a commander of the Jinyi Guard, I think it is because the music in the palace is good, and he is fascinated by it for a while." ”

Feng Bao's words were impartial, light and tasteless, in fact, he didn't say anything bad about Qin Lin, so as not to provoke the hedgehog who hurt his hands, and reduce the emperor's interest, so that he could forget about this person as soon as possible.

The so-called Jane is in the emperor's heart, and if the emperor can remember a person, it will be fast to be promoted. Even if it is not a completely "positive" deed, such as making a joke or making something ugly, so that the emperor remembers the name of this person, it is enough to make other officials envious and their eyes are red, because when there is a vacancy in what position, the emperor casually says "let someone go on", and he takes a shortcut faster than others.

Although Feng Bao didn't have a good heart, his answer was decent.

Unexpectedly, the speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional, Zhu Yijun became more and more interested, stretched out his finger and nodded the corner of his forehead: "Oh, it turns out that he is Qin Lin!" I heard my mother say that the daughter of the Duke of Wei Xu's family was married to this person, and later thanks to his reminder, the imperial sister remembered the relics left by the emperor in the imperial study, and completed the edict of rewarding the Duke of Cheng Guo for the first emperor. Today, I saw everyone faint, but he was the only one who was drunk with the music of the Qingping Emperor, which showed that he was a loyal courtier. ”

Emperor Wanli's qualifications are ordinary, even his teacher Zhang Juzheng privately said that this disciple is actually only a middle-aged person, and his busy father rarely disciplines him when he was a child, and the accompanying mother Concubine Li is only the daughter of a businessman, and it is impossible to give too much guidance, so Emperor Wanli knows people and connoisseurs people mostly out of intuition and personal likes and dislikes, and often promotes and reuses them because someone writes well and someone speaks beautifully.

Since the emperor said so, Feng Bao didn't want to say anything nonsense, but Emperor Wanli looked at Qin Lin and shook his head very interestingly, and asked: "I heard that this Qin commander can see people's heads and disembowel their stomachs, is there such a thing?" ”

Feng Bao's face sank, and he said in a serious way: "How can the emperor say these slang words between the streets and alleys? If it reaches the ears of the Queen Mother and Mr. Zhang, it will not be good. ”

"Hmph, if it wants to reach the ears of the queen mother and Mr. Zhang, it must be your secret!" Zhu Yijun didn't say anything, he resented Feng Bao in his stomach, this Feng Da Wife always made small reports, which made him very uncomfortable.

Feng Bao saw that the emperor didn't speak, he was a little secretly proud, just as the music was about to end, he was going out to praise and lead the mountain to dance, so he walked from the side of the throne to the door of the imperial palace.

Feng Da was there, Zhang Cheng and Zhang Whale were like gourds with sawed mouths, without saying a word; As soon as Feng Bao left, the two of them looked left and right, and there were no other eunuchs around the emperor at this court ceremony, so they immediately came to the spirit.

"Our emperor is eighteen years old, and it has been two years since the wedding, Feng Sili is still so arrogant and arrogant, it is inevitable that he is suspected of bullying the king," Zhang Whale looked at Zhu Yijun's expression, and tried his best to give Feng Bao maggots.

Zhang Cheng outflanked and helped Qin Lin speak: "Back to the emperor, the slave not only heard that Qin Lin can see people's heads and disembowel, but also has the ability to judge yin and yang, and saved face for the heavenly family in the case of seizing the heirs of King Jing's Mansion, and repeatedly defeated the White Lotus Sect in Nanjing, which has a great credit." Gonggong Feng was in charge of the East Factory, but the limelight was all overshadowed by Qin Lin of Jinyiwei, of course he was not happy. ”

Zhang Whale was stunned when he heard this, he actually didn't want to see Qin Lin like Feng Bao, but at this time, he hurried to give Feng Bao eye medicine in front of the emperor, so he couldn't control much, and echoed Zhang Cheng's statement.

It's just that Zhang Cheng scolded Feng Bao and praised Qin Lin three times; Zhang Whale praised Qin Lin for one sentence, and he had to scold Feng Bao three times.

Zhu Yijun called Feng Bao his companion, he was more afraid than close, and the real cronie was the second master of ceremonies, hearing that they both said that Qin Lin was a loyal minister, he believed in his judgment more and more, and nodded: "What I said is right, hum, Feng Daban always treats me as a child, and he knows people before I can see it accurately!" This Qin someone, I want to give him some benefits......"

Zhang Cheng and Zhang Whale glanced at each other, not knowing what benefits Wanli wanted to give Qin Lin, saying that now Feng Bao is in charge of the red approval, and Zhang Juzheng is going to have the final say, these two control the emperor to death, and there is a Empress Dowager Li in Cining Palace, it seems that Zhu Yijun can't be the master, right?

Qin Lin, who was concentrating on listening to the "New Year's Concert", never dreamed that listening to music would also make a mess in the emperor's heart.

At this time, Feng Bao walked to the gate of the Imperial Palace, stood proudly on the Danqi with his hands, shouted praise, and asked the ministers and officials to kneel and dance.

Feng Bao stared at Qin Lin specifically to see if he was honest and bowed, but Gonggong Feng was a little disappointed: Chief Qin was very honest this time, mixed in the crowd of civil and military officials, everyone knelt and he knelt, everyone worshiped him, went with the flow, and was not maverick.

"Count you as acquaintances!" Feng Bao didn't find Qin Lin's stubble.

Xu Jue, who was in charge of the 1,000 households in Dongchang, and Chen Yingfeng, who was in charge of 100 households, both had additional officials, one was added to the third grade to command Tongzhi, and the other was added to the fourth grade to command the affairs.

Others were afraid of Dongchang like tigers and wolves, but Qin Lin was not afraid, and nodded with a smile and the two of them.

As everyone knows, the officials who came next to him beat drums in their hearts: Xu Jue and Chen Yingfeng are notorious, and what kind of good stubble is Qin Lin? His deeds of sawing his head and examining his brain have long since gone away, and everyone in the capital knows that Jinyiwei has a black god again.

When these three of them gather in a heap, the evil qi is really deadly.

Fortunately, Feng Bao never said anything, and Xu and Chen didn't say anything to Qin Lin, until the end of the ceremony, the whip was sounded, and the music of "He Shengming" was played.

Hong Yangshan wiped the cold sweat on his head and pulled Qin Lin: "It's finally over, alas, it really makes the lower officials scared......

"That's leaving?" Qin Lin turned his head and looked around: "Didn't you say that there was a banquet on Zhengdan?" My wife said that the banquet in the palace tastes very good. ”

This country bun, do you think you are the Duke of Wei? Xu Jue, Chen Yingfeng, and several military attachés of the same level all laughed.

The palace is giving a banquet, since the Longqing period, it is the civil four-grade, the military governor and above the court members to give a banquet in the Huangji Palace, and the others are "discounted", that is, the meal is converted into cash and sent to you.

Qin Lin was only in command, and he was still many levels away from the governor, so he was naturally not qualified to participate in the banquet.

Xu Jue was still subtle, Chen Yingfeng was originally rude, his jaw was about to fall off with a smile, and he teased: "Chief Qin, do you think you are the governor or the prince?" Do you have your share in the feast? ”

So? Qin Lin touched his chin, a little disappointed - he really wanted to taste the taste of the palace banquet.

Hong Yangshan's face turned red, and he smiled and wanted to find a step for Qin Linxia.

Unexpectedly, suddenly a little eunuch in the hall hurriedly came and said to this side: "Sir Qin, the emperor has just passed on the message to teach you to stay and participate in the banquet of the Imperial Palace." ”

Ah! Chen Yingfeng, who was laughing, bit his tongue in one bite.
