Jin Ying returned to the celebrant in the dust, and there were little eunuchs who served tea and poured water, handed hot towels, wide clothes and took off boots, "filial piety." Several of the eunuchs who accompanied the celebrant were present, standing quietly and watching.

Jin Ying finished washing and said, "I've been away from the capital these days, and you've all worked hard. Several celebrant eunuchs said in unison: "The little ones don't dare to be." Jin Ying glanced over, and everyone bowed their heads and didn't dare to look around, and then asked, "What has happened in the capital recently?" Jing Shan, the eunuch in the hall, stepped forward and said, "Everything is fine if you look back at the leader's words. Jin Ying then asked, "Just how many of you Wang Zhenren?" ”

At this time, Yan Yong, another eunuch in the hall, said: "If you look back at the leader, the deputy leader will be on duty tonight when the emperor is on duty." Jin Ying asked suspiciously: "Isn't it long overdue to go back on duty?" Why are you still in the 'Qianqing Palace'? Jing Shan said: "I don't know why the emperor has been resting during the day recently, and when he can't sleep at night, he asks people to talk with him." We hadn't slept well in years. When the deputy leader saw that we were working hard, he went to stand up for us for a few days. Several people nodded yes.

The little eunuch knelt on the ground and carefully wiped Jin Ying's feet soaked in the wooden basin, Jin Ying stood up violently and asked people to put on the python robe, the little eunuch wiped Jin Ying's feet dry and found boots to put on, Jin Ying picked up the jar made of Yongle official kiln material on the table and walked towards the "Qianqing Palace".

When Jin Ying came to the "Qianqing Palace", he saw the little eunuchs on duty at night standing on both sides of the door, and Wan Gui leaned on the pillars of the main hall and dozed off. When Jin Ying approached the two little eunuchs, he found out, and quickly bowed his head and bent down and said, "Say hello to the chief." Jin Ying said with a pleasant face: "No need, you two have worked hard." ”

Wan Gui, who was leaning on the pillar, heard a voice and closed his eyes and said: "Which one who doesn't open his eyes is disturbing the saint here, don't you want to live?" Jin Ying coughed a few times without speaking, these coughs really scared Wan Gui, making such a loud noise at the gate of the palace he was guarding, not to mention that the emperor's anger couldn't bear it, and his godfather alone would pick his skin.

Wan Gui opened his sleepy eyes, and walked towards the coughing man with anger on his face, thinking that he would definitely repair this damn person, and when he got closer, he found that it was the eunuch Jin Ying, the leader of the ceremonial supervisor, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and the whole person instantly fell from the clouds to the bottom, the emperor, Jin Ying, and godfather He couldn't afford to provoke him and had to admit that he was unlucky, so he had to apologize to Jin Ying, and slapped himself a few times, Jin Ying saw that Wan Gui had admitted his mistake and did not chase after him, and said with a reprimand:" If you do it again next time, it won't be as simple as a slap in the face. ”

Wan Gui dared to beg for mercy and said, "The little one must remember the words of the king leader, and I won't do it again next time." ”

The noise outside disturbed Wang Zhen, who was on night duty in the Qianqing Palace, and Xuanzong held his cheek with one hand as if he was dozing. Wang Zhen gently exited the house, carefully opened a door, and walked out.

Hearing the sound of the gate in front of the hall of the "Qianqing Palace", Wan Gui and the two little eunuchs were very nervous, bending down and looking up. Wang Zhen came out of the gate with an angry face, and was about to reprimand Wan Gui and the others.

When he saw Jin Ying standing outside the door, his face immediately softened, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The leader will not say anything when he returns to Beijing, and I will go to meet him later." Jin Ying also said with a smile: "There is no need to greet me, I have been out for a long time, and the palace has relied on the support of the deputy leader, how can I let the deputy leader work tirelessly to meet me." By the way, the emperor has ever slept. ”

Wang Zhen shook his head and said helplessly: "The emperor doesn't know what's going on for a while, and he wakes up when he goes to bed at night, so he doesn't doze off on the desk again." You wait a minute, and I'll go in and report to you. Jin Ying said: "Then I'm sorry for you to go." Wang Zhen turned around and entered the Qianqing Palace.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Wang Zhen stood in front of the desk and shouted softly, but Xuanzong didn't respond after a few calls, so he had to take a few steps forward and come to Xuanzong's side and shouted, "Emperor, Emperor." Xuanzong screamed a few times before waking up from his sleep, and Xuanzong looked at Wang Zhen with red eyes, like a lion staring at the prey he saw.

Wang Zhen said softly: "Your Majesty, Jin Ying has returned to Beijing. Hearing the news of Jin Ying's return from Wang Zhenyu, Xuanzong's bloodshot eyes exuded a unique light, and he asked impatiently: "When will Jin Ying return to Beijing, and where is he now?" Wang Zhen said: "Jin Ying has just arrived in the capital, and now the marquis outside the palace is driving." ”

"Hurry up and let him in, I haven't seen him in a while." Xuanzong asked Wang Zhen to call Jin Ying into the palace to see him.

"My lord, the emperor asked you to go in and see the driver." Wang Zhen said to Jin Ying.

Jin Ying, who was standing at the door, heard the summons, sorted out the clothes on his body, and went with Wang Zhen into the temple to face the saint.

"Your Majesty, the slave and maid have kowtowed to you, long live my emperor, long live, long live...... Jin Ying knelt on the ground, and Xuanzong said: "Aiqing, please get up, this farewell to our monarchs and ministers has not met for more than a month." Come over and take a look. Kim Ying got up and stepped up to face the desk.

The lights in the Qianqing Palace were bright, and Xuanzong approached Jin Ying and looked at him and said, "Ouch, I haven't seen anyone lose weight this month, and it's a lot darker, it must be very hard." Jin Ying bowed his head and bent down and said, "As long as the saint likes it, these hardships are nothing." Xuanzong said happily: "You have found what I wanted?" Jin Ying carefully took out a jar from the Yongle official kiln from his sleeve, and Xuanzong was overjoyed when he saw it, and said: "Sure enough, I live up to my trust, come and let me take a look." ”

Xuanzong returned to his seat and couldn't wait to see the contents of the jar, and Jin Yingru carefully placed the jar on the desk in front of Xuanzong as if he was holding a peerless treasure.

Xuanzong opened the lid very carefully and saw a pale golden cricket crawling inside, and the crickets in the jar heard a sound, and a pair of wings vibrated vigorously and hit the wall of the jar to make a "buzzing" sound.

Xuanzong smiled and said: "It's better to see than to hear, I have long heard that Ningjin's crickets are the best in the world, and I am really fortunate to be the king of crickets today. ”

Jin Ying and Wang Zhen both said at the same time: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor." Jin Ying said: "Today, this precious emperor will definitely be able to kill the Quartet, so that those courtiers can see the emperor's might." ”

"Good, good, good......... Jin Ying has made a meritorious treasure hunt, I will reward you with a night pearl, two hundred taels of gold, thirty horses of silk, and I will allow you to rest for another five days after the hard work. Xuanzong said with a smile that did not disturb his mouth, and Jin Ying knelt on the ground and hurriedly thanked the emperor.

Then Xuanzong said: "Wang Zhenhe watched the moon gong, I will reward you with 100 taels of gold and 40 pieces of cloth." Wang Zhen saw that he also had gifts, and quickly knelt on the ground to thank Xuanzong.

"Okay, I'm a little tired today, so let's stand down." Seeing that Jin Ying and Wang Zhen were about to withdraw, Xuanzong said again: "Jin Ying, you stay with me." "The slave obeys." Jin Ying stopped walking outside, and Wang Zhen had no choice but to exit the hall alone.
