"How sad can you be, just like a eunuch going upstairs." Yang Chengzu muttered this sentence in his heart, wondering maliciously what a eunuch could do in this place. However, looking at the familiarity of Xiao Fengluan, the secretary of the teaching workshop, and the two Shao Wu and Zhang Yongna, this old eunuch is definitely not the first time to come here.

"Prepare according to the old rules, find a few more girls who don't sell their performances, and then it's none of your business. It doesn't seem that the family members of the new officials are coming, right? ”

"Zhang Lao Mingjian, the new monarch ascended the throne, and now is still the time for amnesty to the world, after two or three years, the villain, in the sect department, I am afraid that there will be a lot of officials. But don't worry, the villain will be kept for you, and you will be sure not to let others touch it first. You talk slowly, and the villain urges the girls. ”

Zhang Yong clapped his hands, "Although this Fengluan is also an official of the imperial court, in fact, he has little power, and he is not much better than the turtle in the upper courtyard." There are many officials in the Beijing Division, and this errand is not easy to do, and if you are not careful, you may be dismissed. Xiao Bailang is the best one in Fengluan that our family has ever seen, but because he is too good at this errand, he has never been promoted, and no one has ever thought of letting him move, because as soon as he moves, it will be uncomfortable here. ”

"People make the best use of their materials and make the best use of things, and it is actually quite right to think like this. Since he is suitable for this errand, he should be allowed to do it well. ”

After a while, the wine and food had already been put on the table, Xiao Feng Bailang was obviously interested, and did not call the girl to accompany the wine, leaving time for it. Zhang Yong put the end of the wine glass, "Yang Timhuai, this cup is our family to respect you, respect you for the old feelings, and repay your kindness." In Zhang's life, he has seen many people, and most of the people he has seen are rich and easy wives, noble and easy friends, and there are not many people like you who are affectionate. It's worth having a drink with you. When you are old, your body and bones are not used, and you will drink less of this wine, I respected Jiang Bin at the beginning, and now it is time to respect you. Before you returned home, our family had already sent someone to send 300 pieces of silk to the house, all of which were tribute satin woven from the south of the Yangtze River, and it was not easy to buy them in the north. It's a little bit of a little meaning, and it's a little bit of a greeting gift. ”

"My father-in-law is polite, I don't know who has such a big face this time, I invited my father-in-law out to say something, which camp is the head of the camp? As long as you give a name, I will only treat it as if it never happened. As for what Xungui said, Xia Guan will figure it out himself. ”

"It's not a shame, it's just an old man, and I can't refuse. You also know that a few of our old friends were serving the Heavenly Family in the palace and were called the Eight Tigers. In fact, this name is just that those people deliberately vomited us and indiscriminately coined it. The relationship between the few of us is not very good, and our family had a fight with Liu Jin at the beginning. But now that a few old people are dead, scattered, and even the emperor has gone, and the rest of the people are really close now, no matter what happened in the past. In fact, you have also seen the person who asked me to come forward this time, and he has also lent some people to you. ”

"Grandpa Gu?"

"Isn't that him? Actually, if you want manpower, just talk to our family or the third brother. Even if we don't become officials, we still have some people in our hands, but we can't even borrow some of the menial work. Dayong was favored by the emperor at the beginning, and he was in charge of the troops in the regiment and camp, and many of the troops in the Beijing camp were his old troops. No matter how you get around, he won't be able to escape. ”

Yang Chengzu smiled bitterly, raised his wine glass and said: "Conscience of heaven and earth, Xiaguan really has no malice towards Gu Gonggong this time. In fact, the subordinate has to give an account to Gonggong Zhang, and I was ordered to inspect the Beijing camp this time, and at most I only found the commander level. If you go up, you won't check it again, so you just have to rest assured that Grandpa Gu will keep him safe. ”

Zhang Yong shook his head and said: "That's not what I said, although you have no intention of using Gu Da, but this does not mean that he can sit back and relax." The new monarch ascended the throne, Lao Gu was in charge of the imperial horse supervisor, and Teng Xiang was promoted to the four guards, this kind of position will definitely not be done by him. However, he still wants to end up decently, but he doesn't want to be the second Liu Jin. He has been an official for so many years, and he has offended a lot of enemies, inside and outside the government and the opposition, I don't know how many people are staring at him, at this time, if he steals and sells military funds, and the handle of embezzling the military quota falls into the hands of others, if you don't move him, he will not end well. We Eight Tigers are almost grasshoppers on the same line now, advancing and retreating together, and if he falls, we will have no good end. So this time it's not so much about saving him, it's about a few of us who are dead and saving ourselves. ”

Zhang Rong also raised his glass at this time, "Yang Tishuai, those sons of the noble family are all losers and can't understand people's words." Therefore, I can only look for you in this matter, and hope that you will raise your noble hand and give us a way to go. ”

Zhang Yongdao: "Peng Sima's inventory of the Beijing camp is just a plan for two tigers to compete for food, I think you should see this very clearly." Xinjun is a smart son of heaven, and this kind of mind will not be incomprehensible. The reason why I sent you there is probably because I want to take this opportunity to change people and seize the military power of the Beijing camp. Our family is not talented, but we have also been transferred to the Beijing camp, and there are still some people who can be used. Next, our family will talk to them and let them work for the new king. As for us wasted people, as long as we can leave a few small yields and live for a long time, we have nothing else to ask for. ”

Yang Chengzu also understood at this time that this contact was not simply for the sake of smoothing out the affairs of Jingying. What's more, these eunuchs of the Zhengde era hope to seek a way to live from the Son of Heaven through themselves. Eunuchs are no better than Wenchen, and their own honor and disgrace are all valued by the Son of Heaven. Just like the few remaining Eight Tigers now, although they are either in charge of the forbidden army or in charge of ceremonial supervisors, as long as the Son of Heaven makes a decree, they can lose everything in their hands, and they can't even save their lives.

With Zhang Yong's power, not only is he idle, but even the titles of his siblings have been recovered, and he has become an idle white body. Even if you want to ask for a guarantee from Xinjun, you have to have a personal matchmaker, and Yang Chengzu, the favored minister in front of the Son of Heaven, is obviously the best candidate.

They also have some negotiating capital in their hands, but whether this capital can be exchanged for everything they want is a question. Yang Chengzu's inspection of the Beijing camp this time is not only a crisis, but also an opportunity, and the remaining few people of the Eight Tigers, whose positions belong in the future, can almost be settled tonight.

Yang Chengzu smiled at Zhang's Kunzhong, "I salute the two old men with a cup, this matter is very important, and I can't be the master in the future." However, I can serve on my behalf and go to the palace to His Majesty Chen, as for how to cut Banzai, it is difficult for the lower officials to predict. It's just doing my best and obeying the destiny of heaven, but I do my best to make this happen. ”

Zhang Yong smiled heartily, "With your words, a few of us will rest assured." Come on, tell Xiao Bailang that you can let the girls in. ”
