Feng Bao is not only the master of ceremonies, has the right to approve red, but also serves as the governor of Dongchang, in charge of the darkest and most terrifying spy agency in Dongchang, and he is also the eunuch of the inner court who must be repaid, if the political arena is overwhelmed by you to the death, his promise that the well water will not violate the river water is not worth even a piece of papyrus in Qin Lin's opinion, and what the Qin chief wants is something else...... Qin Lin walked out of the Forbidden City from Donghua Gate, and there were already Lu Fatzi and Niu vigorously leading the horses and waiting, they first chased Zhu Yingzhen and walked to the Chengguo Mansion, and then turned to the Zhushikou outside Dong'an Gate, and went to the Jiangling Prime Minister's Mansion to post and wait.

Zhang Juzheng did not return to the court, but the two Persian concubines Agul and Briya greeted him, looking at Qin Lin eating and laughing, and his voice was very different from that of Middle Earth: "Chief, Lao Ye has not come to ashes, Miss is in the husband, you are not in the middle?" ”

Qin Lin thought about it before he understood what they meant, smiled and nodded, followed the two of them through the corridor, crossed the path, and bypassed a rockery with strange rocks, and saw that under the blooming white plum tree, there was already a slender figure waiting quietly.

Aguli and Briya grinned, and they didn't know where to hide after throwing down Qin Lin.

Zhang Zixuan was wearing a silver mink collar plain cotton coat, Yuxue's lovely face was buried in the soft mink hair, and her lips were more and more lined with the smoke and waves of her eyes. Do you have to learn from Zhang Sheng, who stole jade and incense in "The Legend of the West Chamber"? ”

Qin Lin pretended to sigh: "It's a pity, I'd like to be Zhang Sheng, but it's a pity that Miss is not Cui Yingying." Our Miss Zhang has a thousand tricks and clever calculations in her belly, which is more than a hundred times stronger than the useless Cui Yingying, and there are thieves who surround the Pufu Temple, and Miss herself repels the enemy soldiers, where is my turn to take effect? ”

"I've never seen such a cheeky Zhang Sheng!" Zhang Zixuan smiled like a flower, as if spring had returned to the earth for a while, and the flowers were in full bloom.

Although Zhang Juzheng's family is not very rigid about etiquette, Zhang Zixuan is a girl in the boudoir after all, and a few words of laughter with Qin Lin is the limit, so he said that the two brothers discussed the current situation with all the Beijing masters and celebrities in the flower hall, and wanted to take him over to meet.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you see the two brothers or not," Qin Lin said seriously: "When I see Miss, Xiaosheng's wish is fulfilled." ”

Zhang Zixuan's pretty face was suddenly covered with frost, and she said with a straight face: "Brother Qin, don't come to make fun of the little sister, these words, let's go back and talk to your eldest lady!" Hmph, why don't you bring the indigo? You're a conscienceless too! ”

Qin Lin touched his nose in disdain, shrank his head, and quickened his pace towards the flower hall.

Suddenly, something was thrown on her head, spreading out and the dark fragrance floated, and when she looked back, Zhang Zixuan behind her covered her mouth and smiled-she picked the white plum, pinched it into a flower ball and threw it on Qin Lin's head.

Qin Lin was overjoyed, and smiled facelessly and skinlessly: Is this a hydrangea throw?

Zhang Jingxiu, Zhang Mao and seven or eight young talents discussed the current situation in the flower hall, Zhang Zixuan brought Qin Lin over, the first time the Jingshi saw the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, they knew that Zhang Juzheng's surname was obedient and did not respect the etiquette law, and there was a daughter of Zhuge in the middle of the girl, but she didn't expect that she would not shy away from seeing outsiders at home.

But seeing Zhang Zixuan wearing a silver mink, her face was deceitful and beautiful, and her beauty was peerless, everyone didn't dare to look up, and lowered their heads one by one, even the young and vigorous only dared to sneak a peek out of the corner of their eyes.

Only Qin Lin was calm and calm, and his eyes were unscrupulously harassing the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, which was very different from everyone else.

Zhang Zixuan glared at him hatefully, Fang Xin was already lightly angry, and said in a voice as thin as a gnat: "Cheeky, look at others, who is so greedy and lustful as you!" ”

"I'm a real villain, don't be a hypocrite," Qin Lin smiled, and also lowered his voice to a very low level.

Alas~~ Zhang Zixuan increased the amount with her hands, and she was really helpless against Qin Lin.

Zhang Jingxiu and Zhang Maoxiu introduced Qin Lin one by one that a young man who was sick and dressed extremely richly was called Liang Bangduan, who was born in Beijing and was very talented; Another guy with an iron face and a guy who seems to have never smiled in his life is a native of Baoding, Beizhili, who won the show at the age of sixteen and is called a prodigy, and the two brothers of the Zhang family call him Sun Zhisheng.

There are also a few talented people, all of whom are ordinary people, and Qin Lin doesn't even bother to remember their names.

However, he met an acquaintance, Gu Xiancheng of Nanjing Township, and when he saw Qin Lin, he looked a little embarrassed.

Zhang Jingxiu said with a smile: "This Gu Xie Yuan was met by Brother Qin Xian in Nanjing, and the reason why he went to Beijing is the same as our brother, it is for the Spring Festival in March. ”

The imperial examination system of the Ming Dynasty, an examination every three years, the first year in the provincial capital township examination, the examination of people, the second year in March of the provinces to Beijing will be examined, because it is held in Yangchun March, it is called Chunqiu.

Qin Lin didn't care about the imperial examination, and after Zhang Jingxiu talked about it, he remembered that there would be a few more months, and the spring would be the examination, and the two brothers of the Zhang family made friends with talented people everywhere, naturally in order to cultivate prestige.

Talking and laughing, all the talented people complimented Gu Xiancheng, and this Xie Yuan of the Nanjing Township Examination was also extremely complacent, because Nanjing is a place with a very prosperous literary style, and after taking the Nanjing Xie Yuan, the palace examination has a great chance to rank in the forefront, and even win the champion.

Qin Lin sneered, Gu Xiancheng wanted to be the champion, I am afraid that he would have to ask Zhang Juzheng if he agreed.

Suddenly, I heard the gongs and drums outside shouting and neighing, and the momentum was extremely loud, and I knew that it was the first auxiliary emperor who had returned from the next dynasty.

The two sons of the Zhang family were the leaders, and everyone went out together, and sure enough, Zhang Juzheng returned to the mansion with a hug, and walked down from the sedan chair to the second courtyard.

"The child knocks to his father!" Zhang Jingxiu and Zhang Maoxiu kowtowed to say hello.

All the talented people also knelt down with Hulala, and now Zhang Juzheng is in charge of the court as the first assistant of the emperor, even if it is a feudal official of the imperial court, he has to kneel and kneel to send it, not to mention a few young talents?

Qin Lin was also about to kneel, but Zhang Juzheng saw this guy in the crowd at a glance, originally Zhang Xiangye was happy to see many junior talents, and his face was still smiling, but when he saw Qin Lin, he changed color in an instant, and said busily: "Qin Lin, I don't want you to kneel!" ”

Old Tarzan, why are you doing this? Qin Lin had no choice but to sneer and make a gesture towards Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Juzheng bowed his hand in return, and all the talented people got up from the ground, and looked at Qin Lin in great surprise one by one: What is the origin of this person, the emperor and the first assistant don't want him to kneel to see him? Look at his young age, this face is really too big, it's better than many feudal officials and governors!

Zhang Xiangye has returned home, and the talented and famous people are not good to bother anymore, so they leave one after another.

Zhang Juzheng walked to the back hall and glared at Qin Lin angrily, our Chief Qin looked innocent, pretending to be a pure little white rabbit.

Zhang Zixuan didn't know how Qin Lin provoked his father, so she pinched his shoulder for him, "Father, what's wrong with Qin Lin, making you so angry?" ”

"W-This guy is so lazy!" Zhang Juzheng blew his beard and glared, grabbed the tea bowl and took a sip, "He talked nonsense in front of Feng Bao and many officials, saying that he had only knelt in Qizhou in his life, Li Shenyi, Nanjing Wei Guogong and his wife and old husband......"

The others didn't understand, the three members of the Zhang family immediately understood what Qin Lin meant, Zhang Jingxiu and Zhang Maoxiu couldn't help laughing, Zhang Zixuan's face turned red with pink makeup, and she bit her red lips and stabbed Qin Lin with shame and anger.

"It turns out that Uncle Zhang already knows, what the little nephew said is that, that truth," Qin Lin had no face and no skin, and laughed.

"Then you still knelt down the Queen Mother!" Zhang Juzheng blew his beard angrily, "Anyway, you are not allowed to bow down and worship your true appearance in the future-hmph, do you think you don't know the good things you did today?" ”

What good things did Qin Lin do? The three members of the Zhang family all looked at him.

Confessing leniently and resisting strictly, Qin Lin had no intention of concealing it, so he told today's events as they were, and there were only a few tricks that really couldn't be used by outsiders, which he vaguely passed.

"Qin, Brother Qin is so bold!" Zhang Jingxiu could hear Qin Lin and Feng Bao's fighting method, even if he was the eldest son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he couldn't help but be shocked.

Zhang Maoxiu nodded: "I didn't expect Feng Bao to fall for your evil, it's really the wicked who have their own wicked grinding." ”

"Hmph, Qin Lin! You rectified Feng Bao, and hurried to the Prime Minister's mansion, thinking that the Prime Minister didn't know your intentions? Zhang Juzheng said, slammed the dried tea bowl on the table, and looked at Qin Lin and sneered.

Qin Lin touched his chin and took a deep look: "Xiangye really knows the meaning of the song when he hears the strings, and the little nephew is here for this." ”

Zhang Juzheng suddenly said sharply: "Benxiang and Feng Bao are allies, why do you need to endorse you?!" ”

The two brothers, Zhang Jingxiu and Zhang Maoxiu, sweated for Qin Lin, for fear that their father would not agree, but Qin Lin smiled and said nothing, very determined.

Zhang Zixuan pouted, glanced at Qin Lin, and couldn't help but push his father's shoulder half-coquettishly and half-seriously: "Daddy, you will scare others, then Feng Bao is the master of ceremonies, and the outside is Dongchang, and he is both inside and outside, and he is becoming more and more arrogant, Qin Lin kills his majesty for his father, isn't it good?" ”

"Good, good, good!" Zhang Juzheng turned his head and looked at his daughter meaningfully.

As Zhang Zixuan said, the Zhang and Feng alliance is unbreakable externally, but there is still a struggle for dominance internally.

This alliance has been in existence for eight years now, and the length of eight years is enough for loving husbands and wives to turn against each other, and make friends and enemies.

Zhang Juzheng treated Feng Bao well, it was really good, not only helped him to ascend to the position of the palm seal of the celebrant at the critical moment, knowing that Feng Bao was greedy for money, but also gave him seven famous pianos, nine night pearls, five pairs of pearl curtains, 30,000 taels of gold, and 200,000 taels of silver.

Of course, Feng Bao also did his best to do things for Zhang Juzheng, so much so that Zhang Juzheng boasted to his henchmen, saying that in the past two hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, he could arbitrarily lead the ceremonial supervisor, and he was the first assistant in the cabinet and the ceremonial supervisor, then only I was Lao Zhang.

But people are not immutable, Feng Bao's position is firm, his ambition is growing, and he is not willing to always be subordinate in the alliance, and he is in charge of the court bureau with the master of ceremonies, and the governor of the east factory is deterring hundreds of officials, can't my old Feng also be able to be a position above ten thousand people and one person below?

In the past one or two years, Zhang Juzheng obviously felt that Feng Bao was not as obedient as before, and the "Qingming Riverside Map" incident affected his new policy, and he was even more dissatisfied with Feng Bao.

"This time, Benxiang will endorse you," Zhang Juzheng nodded at Qin Lin, and suddenly turned his face again: "Remember, you are not allowed to kneel and worship Benxiang in the future!" ”

Zhang Zixuan's face was once again as red as the morning glow, and the brothers Zhang Jingxiu and Zhang Maoxiu had already collapsed.
