Before visiting Zhang Juzheng, Feng Bao actually went to Qipan Hutong first.

"Speaking of which, of course, the one in the chessboard alley is even more powerful, as long as he can promise to protect us, whether it is the emperor or the tall beard, it will not be a problem." Xu Jue said softly: "What's the use of being like now, with a lot of ups and downs in your heart?" ”

"yes." Feng Baoshen agreed: "I have a deeper friendship with Shamao Hutong, but it is not bad with the one in Qipan Hutong, we have known each other for thirty-five years in Jiajing, and we have not broken contact for more than ten years." Only in the early years of Longqing, Xu was a little distant from me because I was too close to Shamao Hutong. However, in the second year of Longqing, when Xu Jie fell, he still let me go, which shows that he is not completely emotionless. ”

Jue thought of that Shen Mingchen, and the benefits he had given him in the past few months were "far greater than the sum of You Qi's years......... And although You Qi also socialized with him, he always showed the smell of a scholar, which made Xu Jue very unhappy, and his mouth was crooked to the chessboard alley, and said: "Shen Ge Lao has always practiced what he says, and he is affectionate and righteous, since he agreed, help us make peace with Gao Gong, naturally there is no problem." As he spoke, he wiped Feng Bao's feet, put on his shoes and said, "If you want me to say, we can cooperate with Shen Ge Lao in the future, save worry and effort, and smooth sailing, it is like sharing a broken boat with Zhang Juzheng." ”

"You know the." Feng Bao scolded, stared at him and said, "That Shen Mingchen, how many benefits have you been given, and he has spared no effort to help them speak." ”

Xu Jue was so frightened that he panicked, and hurriedly laughed and said, "Godfather, where do you want to go, is the child the kind of person who turns his elbows out?" ”

"I don't dare." Of course, Feng Bao knew that Xu Jue's net worth was tied to himself, and he would definitely not betray himself: "You tell me about the process of interacting with that Shen Mingchen." ”

"Hey......,...... Xu Jue explained honestly.

Speaking of which, he and Shen Mingchen have known each other for many years. On days when there are no errands, Xu Jue's life is very regular"...... Water in the morning, water in the afternoon, skin pressure at night, almost rain or shine. And Shen Mingchen also has hobbies of drinking tea, taking a bath, and visiting Qinglou, the capital is such a big place, and the consumption level of the two is about the same, and they are naturally familiar with each other. I also know the identities of the owners of both sides, so I have always been very polite, and sometimes I take a bath and drink tea together, chat and fart, and the relationship is naturally good.

After the beginning of spring this year, Shen Mingchen was obviously attentive, and he couldn't help but meet more often, and every time he was treated. Xu Jue knew that the other party was a scholar, and his status was only higher than his own, so there was no need to flatter himself so much, so he finally couldn't hold back one day and asked: "Brother Shen, what do you have to do, what can you do, brother naturally has nothing to say, and if you can't do it, I can also help you come up with ideas." ”

Shen Mingchen poured him wine, and said with a look of emotion: "Brother, with your words, brother, I didn't make you a friend in vain." Said with a sigh and said: "In the past few years, you have also seen, I, a guest of the Prime Minister's Mansion, actually take money for nothing and do not work, every day is the teahouse and bathhouse to visit the kiln, although it is a fairy-like day, but my heart is like being filled with firewood and grass, I can't tell what it feels like." ”

"Isn't it good for someone to keep you playing?" Xu Jue took a chopstick to cut the chicken in white, chewed it carefully, and said: "Where can I find this kind of good thing." ”

"That's because the owner is not in the capital, and I am the owner and my own family, and others can't drive me away", Shen Mingchen shook his head and said: "My peers are wronged, they all keep accounts for me, just wait for the owner to come back, and sue me for a blanket and let me leave!" ”

"Oh......" Xu Jue misunderstood what he meant, and said with a regretful face: "I just don't have a seat over there, brother, you wait for me to help you inquire about the next home......... Like Shen Mingchen, a helper who eats mixed rice, Xu Jue can't give him a vacancy even if he sees too much.

"Brother, you misunderstood." Shen Mingchen suppressed his anger and squeezed out a smile: "The owner has a deep meaning, I will not leave the Shen family." If you want to shut those bastards, I think, you're going to have to do a great job. ”

"Set?" Xu Jue opened his eyes wide and said curiously.

"Standing on you." Shen Mingchen patted him on the shoulder and said with a deep smile.

"On me?" Feng Bao's inconvenient things to come forward were all represented by Xu Jue, he was naturally very shrewd, blinked when he heard the words, and pretended to be confused: "Brother said that I am a small person, what merit can I make you make?" ”

"Look at you, you're just a loach, when you get down to business, you're so slippery!"

Shen Mingchen laughed half-truthfully, slapped a silver ticket on the table and said: "Don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, let's open the skylight and say bright words!" ”

Xu Jue glanced at the silver ticket, which was five hundred taels! This Shen Mingchen has really made a lot of money.

Then he put it in his sleeve silently and said, "Say, what's the matter." ”

"I said, I want to make meritorious contributions to the owner", Shen Mingchen also said: "But the owner of my family is already a supreme minister, there is no favor, there is no lack of anything, and I have nowhere to start if I want to be courteous." ”

"Not bad." When it came to silence, Xu Jue also said solemnly: "My master said that in today's court, he is most convinced by Shen Ge Lao, who is kind, decent, and capable, and can be a famous minister from ancient times." ”

"Is that what your master said?" Shen Mingchen was overjoyed and said, "That's easy to do!" ”

"What do you mean?" Xu Jue said vigilantly.

"At the beginning of spring this year, the emperor was seriously ill, and I finally realized that our host still lacked something!"

Shen Mingchen lowered his voice and said, "That is the guarantee of the future." ”

"How?" Xu Jue asked.

"The fact that my owner can enter and exit the prime minister and become the first person in the past hundred years is inseparable from today's appreciation and trust." Shen Mingchen decomposed for him and said: "But there is a way that is" once the son of heaven and a courtier, once the crane travels west and the new monarch ascends the throne, the situation of my master will be delicate...... It may also be that the country is old and famous; It can also be seen as a threat and end up in dismal terms. ”

Jue nodded, glanced at Shen Mingchen, and realized that this old man was not a wine bag and rice bag.

"So I want to make up this road for the owner." Shen Mingchen looked at Xu Jue and said word by word: "Brother, if you can do me this favor, you must help." ”

"How can I help?" Xu Jue pretended to be confused.

"Your master is the great companion of the East Palace, and the celebrity in front of the imperial concubine", Shen Mingchen said: "In the future, the crown prince will ascend to the pole, and the concubine will be the queen mother, is there anyone in the world who can speak better than your master?" "Not bad...... Xu Jue was slightly proud, and said with a smile: "My master is about to come out." ”

"Besides, my owner and your master are old acquaintances", Shen Mingchen said: "The relationship has always been good, but in the past few years, my owner has not been in Beijing, and it is inevitable that there will be some births, which makes people take advantage of a loophole."

So brother, it's better for the two of us to be a matchmaker and let them reunite with Qin Jinzhi. ”

"How can we plan for our master in such a thing?" Xu Jue said solemnly.

"That's a good point", Shen Mingchen didn't care, and smiled indifferently: "After all, it's not the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the era when the doorman made his own claims is gone, but we have prepared a road for the master's family, and it's his business whether to go or not, it's much better than going to the doctor in a hurry and cramming for Buddha feet at that time, right?" ”

"That's a good point." Xu Jue nodded and said, "At most, we will be blamed for many things, but we will not be kind enough to treat it as a donkey's liver and lungs." ”

"That's it." Shen Mingchen was overjoyed and said, "So, you agreed?" ”

"I can't guarantee that my host will agree when the time comes." Xu Jue said with his shaved chin.

The son thought that the only thing that could compete with the tall beard was silence. Xu Jue stared at Feng Bao nervously, and said cautiously: "But I didn't dare to make my own claim at that time, but I didn't break this possibility, a few days ago, he was in a hurry, saying that he had already discussed it with Shen Mo, and it was up to me to do it, and my son asked what you mean............

"So,... Feng Bao's fingers tapped lightly on the table and muttered, "It shouldn't be a condom?" ”

"Son doesn't think so" Xu Jue listened to the door, and hurriedly said: "Shen Mo's only goal now is to move the tall beard down and become the first assistant himself." Unless he still wants to be the emperor, it is a matter of two benefits and two evils with us! ”

"Well......" Feng Bao agreed with this inference, and said with his head in his jaw: "I also pondered, Shen Ge Lao has no reason to trick me......,..." Paused and said: "And in the past few days, he has been attending classes in the Wenhua Palace, and he is indeed much more affectionate to me than a few years ago, otherwise I wouldn't have taken this trip with a straight face." ”

"Hua is, the emperor is sick this time" The prince and the concubine Niangniang are highlighted. Xu Jue hurriedly said: "He naturally wants to have a good relationship with his godfather." ”

Bao smiled self-deprecatingly: "It's a pity that he doesn't know, I'm also a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it's difficult to protect myself." Said with a depressed face: "Zhang Juzheng gave me an idea today, it really stinks." said that the queen asked the emperor to intercede, "forgave Concubine Li." Yes, for the prince's sake, "The emperor can't do anything to Concubine Li; But in that case, it's hard to ensure that Concubine Li Guifei doesn't treat me as a scapegoat, get me around, and I'm the only one who is unlucky in the end..."Even if I don't die, at least I have to be sent to Fengyang, even if the prince ascends the throne in the future, what if he forgets me?" ”

"How could Zhang Juzheng come up with such a stinky idea?" Xu Jue's eyes widened and said, "Isn't this a cheat?" ”

"I don't blame him", Feng Bao shook his head and said: "In the eyes of their foreign ministers, the national capital is more important than anything else, and even themselves can be sacrificed for this, let alone others?" Saying that, he frowned and said: "But I must not be, put my fate in the hands of others, we have to take the initiative!" ”

"What about Godfather?" Xu Jue asked.

"Resist, carry it hard", Feng Bao gritted his teeth and said: "If you can keep the clouds open and see the moon, I don't believe that I can't get through!" He lowered his voice: "Meng He, how's it going?" ”

"The guy is already convinced." Xu Jue said: "The day before yesterday, the housekeeper in his house began to ask Yazi to help him buy a baby boy." But it was said that since Meng He suddenly became rich, he naturally bought a house outside the palace, and also learned to marry a few wives and concubines who were like huā and jade, and lived a decent life.

He has never been beaten by a woman in the past, and he doesn't want to mess up, but now he holds a big girl who is like a jade in his arms, but he can only get over his mouth, and he can't really sell it, so I don't need to mention how annoyed I am, I dream that my ** can be abrupt. So he secretly went around to find out if there was such a dead wood to return to spring, and the divine doctor "can make him return to the yang under his crotch."

The hard work paid off, and a few months later, he finally found a Hu Shen Doctor in Luoyang, who is said to have been passed down from his ancestors, and the Yang Dan "can live and die, flesh and bones, and the rise of the yang is naturally not a problem."

So he sent someone to secretly bring the doctor Hu to Beijing and arrange it in his house. Doctor Hu didn't know what method he used, but he was convinced and couldn't wait to start using medicine.

That "Huanyang Dan, naturally worth a lot of money, to prepare, one pill will cost one hundred taels of silver, but even more terrible, it is necessary to use the baby boy's brain deer as a medicine primer, take one half a month, half a year. This is a murderous thing! Meng He naturally hesitated and asked him if there was an alternative. Doctor Hu said that it is okay to eat monkey brain, but the medicine is slow. Meng He asked how much, "Eat a monkey brain for half a month, and it will be uninterrupted, and it will take six years." , Hu Shen said.

"This is too slow", Meng He was not happy, and asked: "Eating human brains is hurtful and harmful, is there any other way?" ”

"My father-in-law wants to return the momentum", Doctor Hu sneered: "I am acting against the sky, and I am afraid that I will hurt the sky." ”

Meng He pondered for a while, and finally couldn't resist the yòuhuò of returning yang, and decided to let Doctor Hu do it. I'm not afraid that the other party will fool him, because he has already ordered a few family members to follow each other all the time, and he is not allowed to do anything when he spends money, so that after half a year, if he can't recover the man's son, he will not want to live.

As everyone knows, he fell into Feng Bao's calculations. In addition to being the chief of the ceremonial supervisor and the eldest companion of the prince, Feng Bao is also the eunuch of the East Factory. To say that Feng Bao is also very capable, when he took over the dying Dongchang, he only took a few years of hard work, and then re-formed the scale, at least in Beijing, regained the keen sense of the past, day and night there are countless pairs of eyes, staring at every move of the people in the capital. As Feng Bao's sworn enemy, Meng He is naturally the top priority. @。
