People all over the world talk about why Zhang Juzheng can hold on to power, and one of the important reasons is that Jinyi Weidu commanded Liu Shouyou to be responsible for Zhang Juzheng.

Jinyiwei is the largest intelligence agency of the Ming Dynasty, internal and external intelligence detectives and spies, in the past, these news were from Jinyiwei and Dongchang to the palace, and finally reached the hands of the eunuch and the emperor, and the ministers of the outer court were rarely able to intervene and understand.

At the beginning of the Wanli Dynasty, Jin Yiwei fell to Zhang Juzheng with the acquiescence of Feng Bao, the big and small affairs of Beijing officials and foreign officials, and the public and private information of all parts of the world inside and outside the Beijing Division, all of which were under Zhang Juzheng's control.

As Zhang Juzheng's power grew, the more benefits Liu Shouyou received from the command of the Jinyi Guard, and the more loyal he became to Zhang Juzheng.

The emperor suddenly summoned in the morning, and Liu Shouyou's first reaction was to call his henchmen and ask him to tell the old emperor about the summons first, and then prepare his clothes and hurriedly come towards the imperial city.

The little eunuch who led the way took him to the imperial study, and when Liu Shouyou heard that there was a declaration in the house, he hurriedly bent down and walked in to kneel, and began to kowtow.

Although he was respectful in terms of etiquette, Liu Shouyou had been with Zhang Juzheng for a long time, and knew that the elder of the pavilion and the eunuch of the master of ceremonies treated Emperor Wanli as a child.

Although Liu Shouyou knew that he didn't have that status, he really didn't have any respect for Emperor Wanli in his heart.

The court meeting has ended, and the imperial study is also very quiet, and the little emperor's round face showed a rather gentle smile, and asked softly:

"Liu Aiqing, I heard that you have some Zhuangzi outside the city?"

Liu Shou, who asked this, was stunned for a moment, and carefully considered it in his heart before he opened his mouth to report:

"Back to Your Majesty, the ministers have a total of six estates outside the capital, but they are all family properties, passed down from my father."

Liu Shouyou's father was the favored minister of Emperor Jiajing, and he was rewarded a lot, and Fang Cai's words were actually quite exquisite, and the Ming civil and military officials were extremely low, and the Jinyi Wei commanded that the sum of a year's Lu rice was only two hundred taels of silver, how could he afford to buy a Zhuangzi outside the city.

Of course, no one in the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs expects this to pass by, but there are some things that everyone knows under the table, but if they are really investigated, it will be troublesome, Liu Shou answered like this, and directly pushed the matter to Emperor Jiajing, presumably it will not be exhaustive.

However, Emperor Wanli didn't seem to be obsessed with this problem, just nodded and said with a smile:

"Don't kneel, sit down!"

After saying "Thank the emperor for giving him a seat", Liu Shou calmed down a little, and sat on the embroidered pier on the side, the little emperor has been smiling, with his childish fat face, it looks gentle and abnormal, and he asked again:

"I heard that you have a Zhuangzi outside the city who was robbed by Wang Tongling?"

Liu Shouyou's psychology "chuckled", and he quickly stood up from the embroidery pier, and replied respectfully:

"Back to Your Majesty's words, the minister's Zhuangzi and one of Wang Tong's subordinates Ma Sanbiao have some old grudges, that Ma Sanbiao went to the neighborhood, was found by the villagers, entangled with each other and started to move, the matter was originally simple, report to the minister's mansion, and will let the people go, who would have thought that Wang Tong actually led people to attack, robbed people and made trouble, more than a dozen Zhuangke were injured, two of them were seriously injured, and Zhuangzi also suffered a lot of damage."

This is quite skillful, it seems to be telling the truth, but in fact, all the mistakes are pushed to Wang Tong's side, and Emperor Wanli nodded again and echoed:

"It's really reckless, and Liu Aiqing, you are Wang Tong's superior, he is so aggressive, and there are no etiquette rules, he is just a general banner so arrogant, so what should I do in the future, these people must be severely reprimanded and taught a lesson!!"

Jinyi Weidu commanded Liu Shouyou and hurriedly bowed down and said:

"Your Majesty Shengming is fair, but Wang Tong is also a teenager, and he is a little reckless, and other places are still good, and it is just a matter of getting this lesson."

Emperor Wanli had been smiling and nodding, and at this time he said in a praising tone:

"Liu Aiqing is open-minded!"

Having said this, Liu Shouyou finally breathed a sigh of relief, Emperor Wanli was interceding for Wang Tong, maybe Zhang Ge Lao's actions at the court meeting made the little emperor worried, but Wang Tong's promotion road has been blocked, and there is nothing greater in the officialdom than to stop others from being promoted, this is enough, at this time, it is better to push the boat with the water, Liu Shouyou was just about to speak, but Emperor Wanli said:

"Wang Tong is young here, Liu Aiqing, you have to care more about it, he now has a lot of people in his hands, and some horses, he needs a place to settle outside the city, Liu Aiqing's Zhuangzi who was attacked, since he has suffered a lot of damage, it is also unbearable, according to me, if you give Wang Tong how well, it also seems that Liu Aiqing is broad-minded and brings up the younger generations."

Jinyi Weidu commanded Liu Shouyou to finally understand what the emperor was looking for him to do, this is intercession, and it is clearly to find a place for Wang Tong.

Originally, his Zhuangzi was attacked by Wang Tong with a mask, and the well-informed people in the Beijing Division spread the rumor, and he had already lost a lot of face, so he found Zhang Juzheng to state that no matter what the purpose of the first assistant Zhang Juzheng held down Wang Tong, people outside would think that this was the elder of the pavilion fighting for him.

This big face has only been maintained for less than two days, and now the emperor asked him to give the Zhuangzi to Wang Tong, which is equivalent to a heavy slap in the face.

"The land deed, the horses on the Zhuangzi, and the Zhuangke are all given to Wang Tong, it is rare for Daming to have such a solid person, and it is still necessary to support it."

The emperor's words are the will, Liu Shou has an electric brain in his head, but there is no way to refute it, and he respectfully praises:

"Your Majesty, the minister will arrange it when he goes back."

"I still have some scripts to read, Aiqing will go back!"

Wang Tong tactfully told Emperor Wanli on the afternoon of the first day, which basically meant that he needed the Zhuangzi that Liu Shouyou had outside the city, otherwise there would be no place for so many people and horses.

At the same time, a few hints were made, His Majesty's plan to promote Weichen at the court meeting was rejected by Zhang Ge Lao and others, this is a trivial matter, but what about His Majesty's prestige, Ge Lao is good for the country, but the rumors outside may be different, and it has become that this brocade guard commanded the envoy to beg the elder to suppress the emperor.

If you don't promote yourself, it's for the public, but it's not how big your face Liu Shou is, if you don't promote it, you have to bring that Zhuangzi over, and it will be counted as showing everyone.

The little emperor of Wanli is also a person with a clear mind, and he has experienced many treacherous waves in the court, and immediately understood what Wang Tong meant.

Since the emperor agreed, but there has been no news, Wang Tong paid attention to the observation in the Huwei Martial Arts Hall in the afternoon, and found that Emperor Wanli, as usual, reached out and patted Wang Tong's back when he was about to go back, and the smile on his face was also inexplicable, making people confused.

As soon as he returned home, Zhang Shiqiang respectfully led people in, and the person who came in looked similar to Lu Wancai's dress, about forty years old, with a waist tag hanging on his waist, which read "Jinyi Pro-Army Experience Division", this person held a pocket in his hand, and said with a smile when he entered the door:

"A certain surname Hou is a hundred households who have been through the division to do grinding surveys, congratulations to Lord Wang first!"

Experience the department is responsible for the grinding of the hundred households, Wang Tong was stunned, quickly stood up and hugged his fists as a salute, grinding is the meaning of assessing personnel performance, this position should be in modern terms, that is, the head of the human resources management personnel, such a person can not be neglected.

Zhang Shiqiang had already prepared snacks and tea and placed them on the table, and then withdrew, and Hou Baihu took out the body and waist card from his pocket, this waist card was a brass brand, handed these things to Wang Tong, and said with a smile:

"Our Jinyi pro-army has been doing hundreds of households at the age of fourteen, Lord Wang can be said to be unprecedented, he is really a young hero, you and I will have to contact more in the future!"

"Naturally, Lord Hou asked the subordinate to receive it and send it in person, which is really polite."

"It's polite to talk about there, but it's just a drop by."

Yang Baihu of the Experience Division offended Wang Tong, and was assigned to the border pass, and the leaders of the Experience Division knew this matter, and warned each other not to offend this small general flag, since it can't afford to offend, it naturally belongs to the category that can be encircled.

An ordinary 100 households' waist card, the people who have experienced the division will not be a big deal at all, and they will come to get it, but for this Wang Tong, Hou Baihu, who is in charge of this mouth, will have to run it in person.

When the two sides were polite, Zhang Shiqiang raised his voice outside to report:

"My lord, Mr. Liu Quancai and Mr. Liu ask to see you!"

Hearing this name, Wang Tong was stunned, because he had never heard of it, but Hou Baihu, who had experienced this experience, looked moved, and said with a smile:

"It's okay, Lord Wang will see it!"

Not long after, a man in his fifties who was slightly blessed walked in, this person was also dressed as a small hat in Tsing Yi, and he was clearly a subordinate, but he looked like an old man.

Seeing people, Wang Tong was still unfamiliar, and the first to greet was Hou Baihu, who hugged his fists and said with a smile with a more polite attitude than just now:

"Uncle Liu, Hou Zhe from the Experience Division below, I didn't expect to see your old man here again!"

In such a polite greeting to Hou Baihu, Liu Quancai just nodded, took out a few documents from his arms, and took out a few bunches of keys from the blanket on the side, put these on the table, bowed down and said:

"Lord Wang, this is the title deed of the Zhuangzi and the key to the warehouse, the handover of the horses and the villagers, and there are people waiting for the adults there."

Wang Tong has already understood what is going on, no wonder the little emperor of Wanli pretended to be mysterious in the afternoon, it turned out to be such a play, it is really a child's surname.

That Liu Quancai's expression was a little stiff, and when he put down his things and saw Wang Tong nodding, he also said goodbye and left, and the Hou Baihu on the side had already opened his mouth wide, staring at Wang Tong without grace and asked:

"That was Liu Dutang's housekeeper just now!?"
