Feng Baolai was not here to eat or take a bath. For a big eunuch like Feng Bao, whether it is eating or bathing, he has his own place, and he doesn't need to come to Duzhong Hutong. He came to Duzhong Hutong to find someone, and the person he was looking for was the Huang Jin mentioned earlier. Since Huang Jin was squeezed out of the celebrant supervisor, he has no qualifications to enter the palace, and is called out of the palace for retirement according to the custom. It means that Huang Jin is old and has lost the ability to serve nobles, so he was released outside the palace to wait for death, so as not to die in the palace and disgrace the royal people. This is also the rule in the palace, eunuchs who are old or seriously ill must leave the palace, and they are not eligible to stay in the palace and wait for death. Because Huang Jin used to be the eunuch of the celebrant eunuch, he arranged a place to go, that is, to go to the imperial tomb to guard the tomb. Huang Jin lived in the Imperial Mausoleum for several years, and he did not feel uncomfortable with his open-mindedness, but his spirit was much better, and his original chronic disease was also much better. Huang Jin will also go back to Duzhong Hutong from time to time, take a bubble bath and eat, and support some of the latest news from the public.

Feng Bao would not take the initiative to find Huang Jin, but he did not forget Huang Jin, the senior brother. According to his age and the order in which he entered the palace, Huang Jin should be Feng Bao's senior. After Huang Jin entered the palace, he was assigned to the direct palace supervisor, which was to take charge of the cleaning work. Later, because of his strength, he was selected as a strong eunuch to protect the emperor at that time, Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi. It was also at this time that Huang Jin began to develop, and the eunuch Lu Fang, who was the master of ceremonies at that time, accepted Huang Jin as his godson, and later Huang Jin became the Bingbi eunuch in charge of the Jin Yiwei, and almost became the person who replaced Lu Fang as the eunuch of the master of ceremonies. When Huang Jin was selected as a strong eunuch, Feng Bao had just entered the palace as a little eunuch. When Huang Jin was appointed as the young eunuch of the Zhidian Prison, Feng Bao was selected to study in the inner study. When Huang Jin became the deputy head of Yuxi Palace, Feng Bao became the chief eunuch of the East Factory. This year, Feng Bao worshiped Lu Fang as his godfather, and he became one of Huang Jin's godbrothers. In the year when Huang Jin became the eunuch of Bingbi, Feng Bao was appointed as the eunuch of the East Factory. It was in this year that the arrogant Feng Bao offended his minister and godbrother Chen Hong, and almost died. Feng Bao begged his godfather Lu Fang for help, and Lu Fang suggested that Feng Bao ask to go to Yuwang's Mansion on an errand. On the surface, it seems that Feng Bao is sending himself to death, but in fact, this is Lu Fang finding a way for Feng Bao. He offended the courtiers led by Yan Song, and offended Chen Hong, who was most likely to become the eunuch in charge of the seal in the future, and the only way out was to take refuge in King Yu, who had the opportunity to become the future emperor. After Feng Bao pressed the treasure and King Yu became the only successor, Feng Bao's position was restored. At this time, Huang Jin secretly helped Feng Bao do a lot of things, so Huang Jin was Feng Bao's great benefactor.

Feng Bao knew that Huang Jin would no longer pose any threat to him, so he began to contact Huang Jin. It is hoped that from this aspect, some neutral eunuchs will be integrated and Feng Bao's influence will be expanded. Huang Jin originally had a bad impression of this godbrother, and the reason why he helped Feng Bao was mainly because Feng Bao dared to go against Chen Hong. After Chen Hong developed, he not only lost his respect for his godfather Lu Fang, but also dealt with Lu Fang in secret. Huang Jin is an upright person and looks down on Chen Hong, who even betrayed his godfather for the sake of his position. He was the only eunuch who dared to make a move with Chen Hong in the palace. Although of course he was the one who suffered in the end, even his godfather Lu Fang did not dare to help Huang Jin openly, but because of this, Huang Jin became Lu Fang's most reassuring son. In order to make Huang Jin angry with himself and his godfather, he helped everyone who was against Chen Hong, and the result of this was to fulfill Feng Bao, an outsider. After Emperor Longqing ascended the throne, Feng Bao directly jumped over several obstacles and became the eunuch of Bingbi, and officially declared war on Chen Hong, the eunuch of the seal of the eunuch at that time. Huang Jin knew that he was dying, so he took the initiative to hand over power to Feng Bao, not only withdrawing from the power struggle, but also helping Feng Bao. For this reason, Feng Bao had no excuse to deal with Huang Jin, and Huang Jin became the only eunuch who retreated with his whole body.

Huang Jin, who retired, refused Feng Bao's invitation many times, firstly because he didn't want to get involved in political turmoil again, secondly, to avoid Feng Bao, who was gradually ruthless, and thirdly, because Huang Jin also didn't like the sinister Feng Bao. It wasn't until Huang Jin accidentally learned about the relationship between Qin Tai and Feng Bao that Huang Jin began to contact Feng Bao. Huang Jin has helped Qin Tai many times, and Qin Tai also values Huang Jin very much, and Huang Jin feels that Qin Tai and his wife have a great appetite for him. But Huang Jin didn't dare to approach Qin Tai easily, because he was afraid that Qin Tai would be implicated because of this. An upright person like Huang Jin would think so much about his friends, which also doomed the friendship between Huang Jin and Qin Tai to remain unchanged forever. Feng Bao and Qin Tai have a good relationship, and Qin Tai is an upright person, so Huang Jin feels that Feng Bao will not be too bad even if he is bad. When Feng Bao invited Huang Jin, Huang Jin did not refuse again, Feng Bao and Huang Jin had more contact and knew that Huang Jin was actually very concerned about Qin Tai's affairs, so he said something about Qin Tai to Huang Jin from time to time.

In fact, the relationship between Feng Bao and Qin Tai is deeper than that between Huang Jin and Qin Tai. Feng Bao not only helped Qin Tai many times, but he was also Qin Tai's godfather. Regarding this secret, in addition to Qin Tai and Feng Bao, only Zhang Juzheng, a friend of both parties, vaguely knew a little bit. Back then, Qin Tai and his wife worked in Jinyiwei, and Zhan Xiaoxiao, Qin Tai's wife and assistant, was worried that Qin Tai would be bullied in Jinyiwei, so she took the initiative to curry favor with Feng Bao. At that time, Zhan Xiaoxiao was already pregnant, and Zhan Xiaoxiao asked Feng Bao tentatively, and Feng Bao was very concerned about this child. In order to have a good relationship with Feng Bao, Zhan Xiaoxiao took the initiative to ask the child to recognize Feng Bao as his father-in-law in the future. Remember, it's not the godfather but the stepfather. In ancient times, there could be several godfathers, and a godfather could also have several godsons, and at that time, the father-in-law and the son-in-law could not be recognized. Especially for men like eunuchs who have no children, they can have countless godsons, but there are few righteous sons. As the righteous sons of eunuchs, these children must not only have a stepfather who is a eunuch, but also take on the task of passing on the lineage for their stepfather. That is to say, Zhan Xiaoxiao sent a son to Feng Bao as a son, and in the future, at least one of the children born to this child will follow Feng Bao's surname Feng. Feng Bao originally felt that Qin Tai and his wife were a natural couple, and their children were the best, and he was secretly envious. When he learned that Zhan Xiaoxiao was willing to give a son to himself as a son, he was really happier than when he was the boss and the eunuch in charge of the seal. Not only did he express his willingness, but he also began to take care of Zhan Xiaoxiao, his son's biological mother, as an all-weather queen. Who made Zhan Xiaoxiao's child the heir of Feng Bao? Feng Bao and Qin Tai said that if the child is a boy, he will be the heir of Feng Bao's family in the future, and his descendants will be the descendants of the Feng family. If the child born is a girl, Feng Bao will not dislike it, Feng Bao will recruit this child in the future, and their children are still the descendants of the Feng family.

But something happened soon after, and Qin Tai and his wife were once again thorned in the flesh by the Queen Mother. In order to protect Qin Tai and his wife, and also to break up the relationship with Qin Tai and his wife, Feng Bao said that he broke with Qin Tai and his wife. Even Zhang Juzheng thought that Feng Bao and Qin Tai's relationship was over. didn't know that Feng Bao and Qin Tai still had a secret connection. When Zhan Xiaoxiao returned to his hometown to give birth, Mrs. Wen's maternity and so on were privately arranged by Feng Bao, and Feng Bao secretly sent a lot of baby products to Qin Tai and his wife. Just before the child was born, Feng Bao had already chosen a name for the child. If you say something for a boy, it's called "auspicious", and for a girl, it's called "ruyi". If it is a twin, the eldest boy is called "rich", and the younger one is called "auspicious"; The eldest of the girls is called "Ruyi", and the younger one is called "Taiping"; If a man and a woman have a dragon and phoenix fetus, it is "auspicious" and "wishful". Later, Zhan Xiaoxiao gave birth to a son, whose nickname was "Jixiang". Feng Bao was really happy about the birth of this child, but he couldn't make it public. Feng Bao pretended not to care, and secretly created a piece of pure gold longevity lock for his own son, which was engraved with the two words "auspicious" written by Feng Bao himself. Feng Bao secretly sent a sum of money, explaining that Qin Tai and his wife would use the best resources to take care of the child to grow up, and Feng Bao would pay all the expenses, but don't tell the child about Feng Bao, so as not to be known to outsiders.

Feng Bao found Huang Jin, who was temporarily living in Duzhong Hutong, and after only saying some words to Huang Jin in secret, Feng Bao left Duzhong Hutong. Feng Bao's sudden arrival and immediate departure are almost non-existent, and Huang Jin will not mention it. The only handyman who saw Feng Bao come in to find Huang Jin was found dead in the wasteland in the suburbs soon after, but he was actually ordered by Feng Bao to kill him immediately. Although Huang Jin is already a certain age, he is in good health and good spirits, and immediately packed his things and prepared to leave Beijing after coming into contact with Feng Bao. Originally, he was not allowed to leave Beijing privately, but now Huang Jin is not only inconspicuous but also ignored and paid attention to him, so no one will care about him when he leaves the capital. Huang Jin did not rent horses in the city or go to Jinyiwei to ask for supplies, because he did not want to attract too many people's attention. Huang Jin was in the first batch of people to go out of the city at dawn, and only after leaving the capital did he find a carriage and horse shop opened by Jinyi Wei's secret whistle, and asked for a fast horse to rush to Qin Tai's hometown. For people like Huang Jin, who used to be the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor and the eunuch Bingbi, although he did not often go out of Beijing, he still knew the route. Now Huang Jin's task is to hurry as soon as possible, and he feels that Qin Tai has asked Qin Tai to go out of the mountain.
