"Gonggong Feng, Nanjing Town Guard Lao Jia wrote a few days ago that he couldn't stand the heat in Nanjing, and he was old and had a sore waist and legs, so he wrote a letter and asked him to transfer to the palace supervisor."

Zhang Cheng smiled and handed over a fold in Feng's value room, the Divine Palace Supervisor and the Huanyi Bureau are two special existences in the inner court yamen, the Shengong supervisor is responsible for the placement and storage of incense and candle offerings everywhere, it is the most idle yamen, it is generally a good place for the internal officials to care for the elderly, and the Huanyi Bureau is the hardest, and not in the palace, and the eunuchs and palace maids who make mistakes in the inner palace are sent here.

Feng Bao sighed, took the fold and looked at it casually, and said:

"Lao Jia is also not blessed, he has been a supervisor in Yungui for so many years, and he finally made some contributions to suppressing the Tusi rebellion, and went to Nanjing to do it for a few years, but he couldn't stand it, so he agreed, and asked Long Live Lord to give an order."

The fold was handed back, Zhang Cheng took it, and the red pen wrote a few sentences here, and said with a smile:

"The candidate to replace Lao Jia, Gonggong Feng can advise."

"Lao Mei, who is the commander of the imperial horse supervisor, his family is from Nanzhili Yingtianfu, and he often comes to talk about what he wants to go back to see, and when the long live lord agrees, he will let him hand over his errand, transfer to the ceremonial eunuch, and go to Nanjing to be the town guard."

Zhang Cheng wrote a few sentences on a book of excerpts, and said with a smile:

"If that's the case, the Imperial Horse Supervisor is vacant again, and Zou Yi, the supervisor of Long Xiang's Left Guard, is still diligent, Gonggong Feng, what do you think?"

Feng Bao showed a smile on his face, and said leisurely:

"This is the righteous son of Father-in-law Zhang, he is so young, don't be in a hurry to grab the position with us, Lao Jia is difficult to know the soldiers, he is only fifty-three years old, what are you doing in a hurry, and when you come back, you will be the position of Lao Mei."

Zhang Cheng's expression remained unchanged, and he smiled and wrote down Feng Bao's words again, 12 prisons, 8 bureaus, 4 divisions, 24 yamen, anyone who can be called a eunuch, Zhang Cheng can't arrange any of them.

But Zhang Cheng's smile seemed to be thicker, and he couldn't see any unhappy looks, but the atmosphere in the room was embarrassing after all, and he fell into silence.

Not long after being quiet, Zhang Cheng sighed and said with emotion:

"Let's be internal officials, from the day our bodies are crippled, we will hand over to the heavenly family in this life, and there will be no rest until we die, you look at the officials of this foreign court, and you can still give a message, say something that should be thundered, this Ding Wei can go back to rest for three years, where can we rest."

Feng Bao leaned back, squinted his eyes and stared at Zhang Cheng in front of him, with Feng Bao's knowledge and experience, he didn't think that Zhang Cheng, who was not inferior to himself in the city in front of him, would suddenly say such inappropriate words, such words should be an introduction, Feng Bao was waiting.

"These few days of outside news, Gonggong Feng must know it clearly, Zhang Ge Lao Ding is worried about the funeral, even that Zhang Ge Lao himself is going to return to his hometown to guard the system, this internal and external affairs, there is Feng Gonggong to grasp the general, it can't be wrong, but this Zhang Taiyue wants to go back to the family to mourn, this Ming picker, isn't it all to Feng Gonggong alone, not to mention thousands of times more things, but also suspicious."

Feng Bao straightened up, opened his eyes and stared at Zhang Cheng opposite, Zhang Cheng still had a smile on his face, and continued to talk eloquently:

"The family of the small people, the dead father, that is, the linen and filial piety, but a few days of hard work to serve the crops, busy living, this Zhang Taiyue has filial piety in the Beijing teacher Dai Xiao, when he returns to the house, a few more pillars of incense is enough, why bother to go back to Jiangling, in the Beijing division to share the burden with us."

Zhang Cheng's words were roundabout, Feng Bao understood, and a smile appeared on his face, and he nodded and said:

"If you hear these words to the courtiers, you don't know how many rights and wrongs, what sage teachings, and what are common in the ages, they will be pulled out for you."

"What do those officials who read books and have bad brains do, Gonggong Feng, our family thinks that you should talk to the Lord of Long Live and issue an edict to win love, so as not to take over so many rights and wrongs."

Feng Bao smiled and waved his hand, and said:

"If you think about this matter, you can go back first!"

Zhang Cheng stood up to say goodbye, and when he first arrived at the door of the duty room, Feng Bao said loudly behind him:

"Let your son be on an errand with peace of mind, if there is a vacancy in the yamen next year, it will be his turn, what are the young people anxious about, when our family is so old, we are still serving tea and water every day!"

Zhang Cheng respectfully agreed, knowing in his heart that what he said today was right.

I also heard that since Mr. Zhang went home to wait for the order, the matter of clearing the acres of land in the south of the Yangtze River has also been delayed, which shows that this is public and private, and the widow is inseparable from Mr. Zhang! ”

On the eighth day of the first day of November, the little emperor of Wanli came to Wenyuan Pavilion early, and the cabinet scholars and the scholars of the six departments of the Imperial Court and the imperial envoys were all present, and the little emperor said the above words with emotion.

As soon as he finished speaking, the room immediately fell silent, and Shang Shushen Shixing, who was ranked last among the cabinet scholars, immediately stood up, knelt down and kowtowed a few times, and praised with a crying voice:

"The Holy Tomorrow is no better than the Emperor, Your Majesty is Shengming, Your Majesty is Shengming, this is the blessing of the people of the world and the people!"

Shen Shixing's fierce action did not cause any resonance, and the bigwigs in the room looked at each other, and then invariably focused on Zhang Han, the secretary of the ministry.

But the first to stand up was the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Wan Shihe, the old man knelt on the ground tremblingly, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Your Majesty, Ding worries about the system, it is a big festival, Zhang Ge Lao himself has solemnly stated that he wants to go back to his home to mourn his filial piety, but His Majesty has done this, where is the ancient gang, and as soon as the will of love comes out, His Majesty will be reprimanded by the people of the world, and he will be infamous in vain, and His Majesty just said, I am panicked in my heart, the emperor is the Son of Heaven under the great tomorrow, not the Son of Heaven of a certain person, this sentence is not worthy of the Taimiao, the cabinet is still there, the six ministries and nine secretaries still exist, and the country's major politics, these are still going on, and it is not that they will stagnate without one person......"

Speaking of this, Wan Shihe kowtowed fiercely, and when he raised it, his forehead was already bloody, and Wan Shihe hissed earnestly:

"Your Majesty, don't corrupt the festival and chaos because of selfish likes and dislikes!"

If Emperor Jiajing is there, Wan Shihe will be stripped of his official position on the spot, and he will be sentenced to prison, if Emperor Longqing is here, he will directly ignore it and deal with it afterwards, but after all, Emperor Wanli is a young son of heaven, and he has always been assisted by Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng, where has he seen such a scene.

Looking at the white-haired Ministry of Rites Shangshu seeing blood on his forehead, hissing exhausted admonitions, he also had some stage fright, he subconsciously looked at the seat of the first assistant, and encountered such a situation in the court, the first reaction of the Wanli Emperor was to find his teacher Zhang Juzheng, but the position of the first assistant was empty.

The little emperor of Wanli turned his head, and then he was stunned, he also found out about his behavior, and the feeling in his heart was quite complicated for a while, seeing that Wan Shihe and another head knocked down, and the bloody scene saw that the Wanli Emperor became more and more flustered, Mr. Zhang was not there, and the object that the little emperor could rely on was Feng Daban.

He turned his head and looked at Feng Bao who was on the side with a plea look, Feng Bao lowered his eyebrows and said:

"Your Majesty, according to the rules of the past dynasties, the discussion of seizing affection should be initiated by the official secretary, and then His Majesty will issue an edict."

The little emperor Suo ignored Wan Shihe, turned to Zhang Han, the secretary of the ministry, and said:

"Zhang Aiqing ......"

Before Emperor Wanli finished speaking, Zhang Han, the secretary of the ministry, stood up with a calm expression, bowed down, knelt there and said:

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Zhang Ge's old guard system has been decided, such a touching filial piety, if you force yourself to win love, you will be infamous by the world, the minister is Your Majesty's plan, and I dare not make this initiative."

Zhang Han, the secretary of the ministry, was not as fierce as Wan Shihe, but his attitude was calm but extremely resolute.

Emperor Wanli's anger gradually rose in his heart, when Zhang Ju was in the cabinet, no one dared to disobey, but now no one agrees with his few words.

He looked around at everyone, Lu Tiaoyang, the deputy assistant of the cabinet, had always been timid and afraid, and at this time he was looking at his heart with his head down, his nose and mouth, and Zhang Siwei, the secretary of the university soldiers' department on the side, was at a loss, sitting there restlessly, and kept saying:

"Why bother, why bother."

Emperor Wanli felt a little strange, this thinking seemed quite decisive and autonomous, why was he so at a loss at this time, Emperor Wanli didn't bother to care, stood up with a gloomy face, and said:

"Let's go!"

turned around and left, Feng Bao and Zhang Cheng immediately followed, Feng Bao did not look back from beginning to end, but Zhang Cheng swept back with a smile on his face.

"It's really infuriating, when Mr. Zhang was here, he implemented the national policy, what to say, I never heard these ministers say anything back, I just said a word of love, Wan Shi and the old man's head were bloody, and the rest of the people were even quieter, treating the widow as a child? ”

Isn't this kind of performance just a child, Wang Tong thought so in his heart, naturally he didn't dare to say so, the two discussed for a long time, Wang Tong also figured it out, Wanli felt angry when he was at the court meeting, and came over to scratch it, but Wang Tong noticed one thing:

"Your Majesty, Gonggong Feng is reminding His Majesty that the matter of seizing affection should be initiated by the Ministry of Shangshu, right?"

Wanli nodded, Wang Tong leaned closer and lowered his voice and said:

"Your Majesty, Gonggong Feng's meaning has been understood, if he hadn't agreed to take the affection, he would never have expressed his position like this, Your Majesty, the will to seize the affection will still be adhered to!"

Emperor Wanli depressedly threw out the sand in his hand, sighed and said:

"I really can't do without Mr. Zhang, but now these ministers are so lazy, wouldn't it be embarrassing to say that the widows are still embarrassed."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the minister thinks that there should be a weighty performance."

No matter what time it is, there are always talents who can accurately figure out what they want, not to mention that the direction of the wind is gradually becoming obvious.
