Chapter Ninety-Three

Ling Jun has little contact with Zhang Juzheng, but someone secretly probed him, and learned that he has not yet become a guest of any prince, he wants to take advantage of this excellent opportunity to sell Zhang Juzheng's favor and strive to let him use it for himself.

Listening to Ling Jun recommending Zhang Juzheng, a person who is rigorous and careful, has a strict demeanor, and does not belong to any faction, to investigate this matter for himself, Emperor Longqing's liking for him suddenly became more, and he believed more about what he said, and the sobriety of these things was also a little more believing.

"The person Jun'er said, I also think it's very appropriate!"

Emperor Longqing nodded with satisfaction, gave him a rare fatherly smile, and without discussing it with anyone, he finalized the matter, "When lunch is finished, Jun'er will go back to the imperial study with me, and I will send someone to call Zhang Juzheng, Jun'er will explain to him the things that have been explored, and it will be convenient for him to investigate, and he can have a place to start...... The old general, you also send a few trustworthy people to protect and take care of it, if you treat the old general, what precious medicinal materials do you need, just let Xiaoyingzi go to the big library to help you get it...... Xiaoyingzi, remember this matter, don't mistake to diagnose the old general! ”

The chief eunuch who served beside Emperor Longqing, surnamed Luo, with a single English name, although he was more than forty, but because he was a teenager, he followed Emperor Longqing, who was still King Yu at the time, to go to the fiefdom, and he has always been called Xiaoyingzi by Emperor Longqing, and he has been called Xiaoyingzi by Emperor Longqing, and he has been called for more than 20 years, and he has not changed it.

Xiao Yingzi followed Emperor Longqing to suffer in the former Yuwang Mansion, and the old general's help to the Yuwang Mansion, he also empathized, listening to Ling Jun's meaning, it is very likely that Yi Li, the person who should be most grateful to the old general for saving his life, to his old man's ...... An instinctive anger. It was silently condensed in my heart......

People must understand grace, although the one who gives grace is not necessarily the one who wants to repay it, but the one who is given grace. If you repay virtue with resentment, it is too undeserved.

Xiao Yingzi thought like this, and quietly agreed to Emperor Longqing, raised his head slightly, and looked at Ling Jun, who was sitting next to Emperor Longqing, who was holding his hand and talking, his eyes flashed slightly, he knew Emperor Longqing, to be exact. It is a habit to understand him, he is a person with a habit of cleanliness, and rarely has physical contact with people, in Xiaoyingzi's impression, there are only three men who can talk like Emperor Longqing, the old general, Jiang Rusong. Now, another Lingjun has been added.

There is Lee's service. Emperor Longqing's meal was very comfortable, and after the father and son finished lunch, they went to the imperial study again. Emperor Longqing calculated, Jiang Rusong should be almost there, after he went to the imperial study, it was just right, and by the way, he could also marry Princess Penglai to him as a concubine. Tell him about it.

And then, things don't always go as planned.

Emperor Longqing and Ling Jun had just walked into the small courtyard of the imperial study, and they heard the voice of a woman saying mercy in the courtyard on the west side, and the person who made this voice was still Princess Penglai, and her words to Jiang Rusong were no longer the superior arrogance of the previous time, but with a flattering coquettishness.

Princess Penglai, who is still a princess who has not yet left the cabinet, should not know much about men and women, but listen to her......

Emperor Longqing's old face was a little unbearable, and Ling Jun's face was also slightly red.

The father and son glanced at each other, turned around without saying a word, and went out of the courtyard gate of the imperial study again, in the direction in which they were coming.

"I think the weather is good today, no wind, not cold, or ...... Let's go to the pavilion in the Imperial Garden, let people light a brazier, call Zhang Juzheng to come, and watch the scenery while talking about things? ”

Da Ming Law has written, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, they can't go to any concubine or prince's bedroom, and now, it's not the time to go to the court, it's not appropriate to go to the empty hall, Emperor Longqing coughed a little embarrassed, and proposed such a method with Ling Jun that can't be regarded as a solution.

"The sons listen to their father."

Unexpectedly, Liu Qingxin gave Jiang Rusong and asked him to offer Emperor Longqing's pill to be so effective, Ling Jun cleared his throat with some embarrassment, this matter must not be known to Emperor Longqing, otherwise...... In the future, he will marry Liu Qingxin, but there should be another layer of trouble......

This hateful woman, as much as she gives him problems, she really should be his husband, is she omnipotent!

The gazebo in winter, even if there is no wind, even if the wind is beautiful, it is still cold.

Emperor Longqing asked people to burn four braziers in the pavilion, and thick cotton mats were laid on the stone benches, but they still couldn't stop the cold from rising from under their feet.

"Father, look at this weather, it looks like the wind is about to rise."

Lingjun's eyes were sharp, and at a glance he saw Emperor Longqing's cold and shivering legs, the corners of his lips pursed slightly, and his mind turned sharply, so he came up with a good way to compromise, "Erchen remembers that the emperor's grandmother likes winter the most, and now, she has been driving cranes for more than two years, and she doesn't know ...... Her old man's dormitory, now, the people still have to clean ......"

"Yes, these days are really fast, in the blink of an eye, the mother concubine has been gone for two years......"

Hearing Ling Jun say this, Emperor Longqing suddenly remembered that there was still the late Concubine Du Kang's bedroom to use, Concubine Du Kang was his mother's concubine, after his death, he specially drafted a will, named her the queen mother, and ordered the palace maids who originally served her to still be on duty there to do things, and let the Li family, that is, Ling Jun's mother, be responsible for supervising this matter, "Let's go there and have a look, Xiaoyingzi, let someone go and tell Zhang Juzheng, go directly to Xiangci Palace!" ”

In the Xiangci Palace, it is as clean as ever, and even the few bonsai trees planted by Concubine Du Kang before are as if they were when she was alive, and there is no shortage of care.

As soon as Emperor Longqing led Ling Jun into the door, he felt a warm breeze blowing in his face, which was so comfortable that people couldn't help but close their eyes and enjoy it.

When Concubine Du Kang was young, she was framed by the concubine next to her, and accidentally fell into the water, although she saved her life, but because of this, she contracted a leg disease, and the weather was cold, she did not dare to go out again, which liked winter, like snow, for her, it was tantamount to the greatest pain, so after Emperor Longqing ascended the throne, filial piety for her on the basis of the original palace, rebuilt the Xiangci Palace, sitting in the house can also watch the snow palace.

It's a pity...... Concubine Du Kang did not have a happy life, and lived in this Xiangci Palace for less than three years before she died......

In the palace, in the inner room separated by the screen, a woman wearing a white shoulder was cleaning the house, just like the scene that Emperor Longqing often saw when he entered his mother's residence when he was young.

"Caifeng?"

The figure behind the screen made Emperor Longqing instinctively think of Ling Jun's biological mother Li, and his thin lips opened slightly, and he called him by name.

The figure behind the screen, after hearing the call of Emperor Longqing, instinctively froze for a moment, and then, he hurriedly put down the objects in his hand, walked out quickly, and saluted towards the kneeling ground with a respectful attitude, "The concubine was just wiping the dressing table for the Queen Mother, and I didn't hear that Your Majesty arrived, so I begged Your Majesty to ......."

"You still look good in this dress."

Emperor Longqing walked up to Li with a smile, stretched out his hand, helped her up, and gave her a haircut on her forehead that was a little messy because of labor, "Just like when I was a prince, every time I came to my mother's place." ”

Li was the maid who served beside Concubine Du Kang, surnamed Li, named Caifeng, during the Jiajing period, due to the famine in his hometown, and followed the father who was a mason to the imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty, and then when the father of the mason was seriously ill and urgently needed money, he sold himself for ten taels of silver and entered the palace as a low-class palace maid.

When Concubine Du Kang fell out of favor, she was demoted by Emperor Jiajing and sent to live in an abandoned palace in the west of the palace.

Emperor Longqing remembered very clearly, at that time, he had not been crowned king, nor had he married, every time he came to visit Concubine Du Kang's residence, he could see him wearing plain clothes, and he was busy alone, he didn't understand how to ask her, why she would rather follow his mother to eat chaff in this abandoned palace, rather than go to other concubines to beg for a living like the palace maids and eunuchs next to him.

Li replied to him that the person who bought her into the palace was Concubine Du Kang, and the ten taels of silver she earned from selling her body saved his father's life, and what she owed to Concubine Du Kang was her father's life, even if she accompanied her for a lifetime, it was not enough to repay her, and besides, it was not bad here, it could shelter from the wind and rain, and she did some needlework in her spare time, and let Xiaoyingzi take it out of the palace to sell, which was enough for her and Concubine Du Kang to eat, and she didn't want him to eat as he thought, eating chaff and vegetables.

At that time, Xiao Yingzi was only an eleven or twelve-year-old little eunuch, and he didn't serve his master, and in ordinary times, he followed the purchase of eunuchs in and out of the palace gate, doing some rough work of carrying heavy objects, and met the palace maids in the palace, who wanted to take out the needlework they made for money, so they kindly helped to bring it, and the things were sold, and they were not cheap, and they gave people as much as they wanted, and many little palace maids had a good relationship with him.

"Every time the concubine comes to the Queen Mother to clean, she will change into this dress, like this...... It's like the queen mother, her old man, is still in this house, and the concubine ......"

Speaking of this, Li couldn't help but reddened his eyes, looked around again, and even tears fell down, and his voice was choked, which made Emperor Longqing feel a little distressed when he heard it, "The concubine misses the queen mother, the concubine ...... I'd rather be a palace maid serving by her old man's side than her old man's house...... ...... be fine."
