"Xiaoting said that the people of the small pavilion were slaves and maids by borrowing the great sins of Yue, how could they call their father-in-law in front of Lu Ye. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Sun Hai, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, laughed and scolded in a low voice outside, it is indeed borrowed from Yue, but Sun Hai is also one of the top ten eunuchs in the palace, and Zhao Jinliang is a close confidant in front of the imperial study, such a misunderstanding and laughter will not attract blame.

"Xiao Xiaoliang will remember it in the future, call Sun Hai in."

Emperor Wanli was in the palace, Zhao Jinliang opened the door with a red face, Sun Hai reached out and touched the top of Zhao Jinliang's head, and walked in.

There was a teapot on the charcoal stove in the house, and the rule set by the Wanli Emperor was that there was no greeting, and even the waiters who served the tea and poured water should not enter the house.

Zhao Jinliang waited until the door closed, walked down the steps and beckoned to the door, a eunuch who was guarding outside the courtyard ran over quickly, Zhao Jinliang lowered his voice and said:

"Go and tell Ancestor Zhang that Sun Hai has come to see Long Live Lord."

The eunuch Liu Cai was a probe and probed his brain, and when he heard Zhao Jinliang say this, he hurriedly bowed down and walked out quickly.

Zhao Jinliang turned around and walked to the door of the imperial study in small steps, and Sun Hai's voice inside was not suppressed. You can hear it clearly from the outside.

Although Sun Hai's action of touching his head was intimate. But Zhao Jinliang clearly remembered that since he entered the palace, it was the first time he saw this Sun Hai, and it was also the first time he spoke.

Sun Hai is forty-three years old this year, but if you look at his appearance, he looks like a thirty-five or sixteen person. He is of medium stature, but he is a little special in the palace.

The Imperial Horse Supervisor is the martial arts yamen in the palace, and he is in charge of nearly 10,000 elite soldiers in the warrior battalion and the four guard battalions, which is equivalent to grasping the key points of the survival of the palace and even the Beijing division in his hands.

Such an internal supervision yamen, several eunuchs under the command of the eunuch are naturally the closest people to the royal family, the eunuch Zhang Whale of the Imperial Horse Supervisor's palm seal, is the old man of Yuwangfu, and Feng Bao and Zhang Cheng were the characters who were juxtaposed back then, and the supervising eunuch Lin Shulu is also the old man of Yuwangfu, or the thirsty king's companion, these two are to put it bluntly, they are the cronies of the Empress Dowager Cisheng Li, and Sun Hai is the cronies of the Empress Dowager Rensheng.

The Empress Dowager Rensheng Wang was the empress of Emperor Longqing, and the biological mother of Emperor Wanli, Empress Dowager Cisheng, was the imperial concubine.

The relationship between the two queen mothers is quite good! The Wang family was not in good health when he was in the Yuwang Mansion, and from then until now, it has been the Li family who presides over everything, but the Li family has maintained enough respect and humility for the Wang family. Another point is that because the queen mother has no heirs, she loves Wanli very much.

Compared with the strict discipline of the Empress Dowager Li, the Empress Dowager is more motherly to Zhenli, and his filial piety and respect for the Empress Dowager are no less than that of the Empress Dowager Li.

Although the queen mother is very indifferent to everything, it does not mean that she will leave it all alone, and Sun Hai, the imperial horse eunuch, is one of her representatives.

Although the eunuch of the imperial horse was a eunuch. But unlike the overseers outside, the admiral eunuch is more like a general leading the troops, a veritable commander of the four battalions. It is necessary to know how to march and arrange, military law and ordnance. Even have to know some martial arts, Sun Hai was clean when he was young, but when he was in Yuwangfu, he learned martial arts with the commander of the guards, and he was considered diligent and progressive, and he was promoted step by step to today's position.

Sun Hai is very low-key in the palace, firstly, the person in charge of this palace is the Empress Dowager Li, and secondly, the daily drills of the four guard battalions and the warrior battalion are also inseparable from people.

But I don't know why I came to the imperial study here to flatter today, Zhao Jinliang was thinking hard there, he was on an errand in the imperial study every day. The rest of the eunuchs, big and small, were polite and flattering when they saw him. There was no news.

Zhao Jinliang was pondering hard here, and the eunuch who reported the news outside the door had already run wildly. He is older, but he knows the importance of this matter better than Zhao Jinliang.

Although the snow has been cleaned in the past few days, the road surface is still very slippery, and I fell a few times on the way. Despite the thick clothes, it hurt to fall.

When he arrived at the celebrant side, he said that it was an urgent matter in the imperial study, and the guards outside did not dare to intercept it. Vertical scissors were put in.

found someone to report, Zhang Cheng came out to listen to the experience, and went back to the house with an expressionless face.

In the room, Feng Bao was closing his eyes and recuperating. Rubbing the corners of his forehead with his hands, Zhang Hong and others were holding account books and notebooks to check the records there.

When the door rang, Feng Bao didn't open his eyes, and asked in a low voice:

"What's the matter?"

Zhang Cheng glanced left and right, leaned over and whispered:

"Sun Hai went to the imperial study to see Master Jisui."

Feng Bao rubbed his hand on the corner of his forehead and stopped, opened his eyes slightly, and said suspiciously:

"What is he going to do over there?"

Wang Niangniang has hardly made any will for more than a year, Lao Lin is watching the imperial horse supervisor very strictly, probably also forcing Feng Bao smiled silently and closed his eyes, a few eunuchs on the side seemed to be busy with their own affairs, but in fact, they were all listening carefully, and only Zhang Hong was there to carefully review.

Wait for Zhang Cheng to return to the bookcase; A eunuch who accompanied the hall raised the notebook in his hand and said with a wry smile:

"This year, the treasury has managed to have some surpluses. I don't know these few side hearts; Cry fast when you get the news. I came to ask for money at noon"※

"Master Wan, when the slave and maid arranged the defense of the palace the day before yesterday, they went to Cixi Garden, and the scenery inside was really good, although it was winter, but the slave and maid led people to walk in circles and walked out. I feel that my body is a little lighter, and I am very relaxed, such a good place in the palace, the slave maid wants to let the Lord know about it. ”

Emperor Wanli had been there looking at the scroll in his hand, but when he heard Sun Hai say this, a smile appeared on his face and he put the scroll on the table.

Of course, he also knew that Sun Hai was the Queen Mother's person. Although Wanli did not participate in the various power struggles in the palace. But he didn't know about these things, the little emperor thought that Sun Hai was asking for something, or that the little emperor was ready to dismiss it with a cold face, but he didn't expect to say a fun place.

Xiyuan is also a part of the Forbidden City, when Emperor Jiajing treated the palace maid harshly in the palace, and was murdered by the palace maid at night while he was asleep, he survived by luck, and never dared to live in the palace again.

Emperor Jiajing believed in Taoism, superstitious magic, built a large number of buildings in Xiyuan, and built a palace Taoist temple. Plus he has lived in Xiyuan for more than 20 years. Everything is beautifully built.

After Longqing succeeded to the throne, the court was reviewing the mistakes of the previous dynasty, and this superstitious Taoism was also one of the faults, so Xiyuan was sealed as a forbidden place.

Sealed up, sealed up, but there are no explicit rules. In addition, it belongs to the scope of the Imperial Palace, and it must also be screened when guarding the Imperial City.

"Xiyuan, Lian remembers that when he was still in Yuwangfu, when he entered the palace to see the emperor's ancestor, the first emperor always led Lian to go around more places in Xiyuan, and he was always happy to see cranes and turtles or something."

Emperor Wanli was reminded of Sun Hai's words, Sun Hai knelt on the ground and did not get up, but said there:

"Long live the lord every day for the state affairs, but also should relax the mind, in order to be relaxed, the slave maid arranged the following people to clean the West Garden, and also asked the long live lord to move to watch when he is free."

"What time is it?"

"Back to the words of the Lord of Long Live Lord, when the slave and maid come. Listening to the sound of bells and drums, it should be a hundred hours and three. ”

Wanli stood up from his chair and shouted:

"Xiaoliang, tell me to go down, and I want to go to Xiyuan.

There was a little silence outside, and Zhao Jinliang hurriedly responded. Running away quickly, Wanli looked at Sun Hai who was kneeling there with a smile, and said:

"Get up, Sun Hai, you also go and wear a thicker robe, and accompany Lian to see Xiyuan!!"

"Slave obeys!!"

Sun Hai hurriedly kowtowed and agreed, and his face was full of excitement when he got up.

Walking in the palace is also very simple, there is a fixed team of people to prepare, a command, the honor guard is all ready, when the Wanli Emperor enters the sedan chair, the seat of the sedan chair has been baked by the stove.

Before the Wanli Emperor got on the sedan chair; Zhao Jinliang quickly followed and whispered, "

"Long live the lord, it's time to go to the mother's side

Emperor Wanli waved his hand irritably, ignoring it at all.

Feng Bao and Zhang Cheng were in the celebrant supervisor, Zhang Juzheng was in the cabinet, and Empress Dowager Li also gave Emperor Wanli enough personal space, and now no one cares about him, but the little emperor feels bored and boring.

The old-fashioned and dignified queen did not have the slightest attraction to the Wanli Emperor, and Sun Hai, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, was just in time for this empty and boring time to bring a new place for the little emperor. A place where you can spend time and have childhood memories.

The gate of the West Garden was slowly pushed open by several guards. A fat eunuch on the side shouted loudly:

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

The eunuchs who sang and announced had a good voice. At this time, Wanli was looking forward to the door and was shouted by the eunuch beside him. Lihai was taken aback.

The net was angry, and was attracted by the scene inside the door, on the trees on the side of the road, among the pavilions and water pavilions, and at the edge of the palace, a palace lamp was lit up in turn, showing the dark and rich West Garden little by little in front of the eyes of Emperor Wanli. The beautiful scenery in the snow is illuminated by the palace lanterns, and there is a bit of dreaminess, and the palace lanterns lit up in turn in the west garden are no less than hundreds, that is to say, hundreds of people are waiting here to prepare, and this time to master the time must also go through many rehearsals to be proficient.

However, Emperor Wanli didn't take this into account, he was just fascinated by the dreamy beauty that suddenly appeared in front of him, and he was intoxicated, and there was still the sound of silk and bamboo in his ears. It should be a group music arranged in a secret place.

Beautiful scenery in the snow, beautiful music, at this time the West Garden is like a fairyland, Emperor Wanli was stunned at the door, Sun Hai stepped forward and said:

"Long live the Lord, please enter the West Garden to enjoy the scenery."

Wanli didn't react for a while, and then he woke up after screaming again, and laughed there, patted Sun Hai's shoulder hard, and said loudly:

"Well done, well done." The day o8 Shanshu is full of ridicule
