Chapter 327

In addition to the outside, Zhang Yong sat down and drank a few sips of hot tea to dispel the cold on his body, and his face turned from pale to better; Song Nan looked at Zhang Yong intently, and was not in a hurry to ask about his intentions, but he also understood in his heart that Wan Zhi was not a person who did not know the importance of the matter, and he brought Zhang Yong to the third watch in the middle of the night, obviously something big happened.

"Good tea, good tea." Zhang Yong sighed slightly, put down the teacup and said, "Lord Song, we haven't sat and drank tea like this for a long time." ”

Song Nan smiled and said: "Yes, my body is like a canopy floating in the wind, I am all busy, it is true that I haven't been together for a long time." ”

Zhang Yong smiled and said: "I think back then, Lord Song was a hundred households in Zhengnanfang, and we still remember the situation of eating roast duck in your old shop on Fork Street, and it has been almost three years. ”

Song Nan said with a smile: "What my father-in-law said is that I myself am like in a dream; But Aren't you the same with Grandpa Zhang and Grandpa Liu? used to be around the prince, but now they are also in charge of the inner court and have become important figures? When you think about it, it doesn't seem to be anything special. ”

Zhang Yong shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Is Lord Song making fun of our family?" Our family is just a royal prison in charge of no one, so why does it matter? ”

Song Nan nodded slightly, Zhang Yong's position as the head of the imperial prison eunuch is actually chicken ribs, after overthrowing Fan Heng Wang Yue, he also thought that Zhang Yong would at least enter the inner prison yamen such as the ceremonial supervisor or the imperial horse eunuch, but unexpectedly he just entered the head of the imperial prison; The so-called royal supervisor is just an institution in the palace specializing in the manufacture of supplies, and the supervision and purchase of royal things requires the approval and supervision of the royal supervisor in the name of the royal family; For example, in the antiques of later generations, there are official kiln porcelain, and if you want to sign the money for 'a certain year of the Ming Dynasty', it can only be used under the approval and supervision of the imperial superintendent.

When Zhang Yong became the head of the imperial prison, Song Nan already felt that Zhang Yong's status in Liu Jin's mind was far inferior to Qiu Ju, Gao Feng, Wei Bin and others.

"Father-in-law Zhang, with all due respect, in fact, this is good for you, you need to know that the more you are on the cusp, the greater the risk; How many of the tides on the crest of the waves can stand at the head of the tide? ”

Zhang Yong smiled and said, "Lord Song will comfort people. ”

Song Nan said: "My father-in-law has the virtue of helping me Song Nan, when my life was on the verge of death, my father-in-law brought the imperial doctor in the palace to save me, I can always remember this feeling; Therefore, I don't lie in front of my father-in-law, although we have had little contact in the past two years, but in fact, this is a good thing for you and me. ”

Zhang Yongyu said mockingly: "It's rare that Lord Song still remembers the past, and our family still thinks that Lord Song has forgotten the old things." ”

Song Nan smiled silently, and Zhang Yong said: "Our family remembers that when Lord Song first entered the palace, our family reminded adults several times to be vigilant against certain people, but unfortunately Lord Song took it as the wind in his ears, and some things that happened later, Lord Song didn't know if he had some regrets?" ”

Of course, Song Nan remembered that after he arrived at Zhengde's side, Zhang Yong did remind him several times to stay away from Liu Jin, and he really didn't pay much attention to these things when he regarded these things as a secret war between Zhang Yong and Liu Jin in order to compete for favor and win over him; Zhang Yong mentioned it at this moment, obviously knowing that the relationship between himself and Liu Jin had become a fire and water.

Song Nan didn't know how to explain to Zhang Yong, from the beginning, he didn't plan to hug Liu Jin, and he and Liu Jin also walked together for a while out of interests, and now they have already parted ways, all of which is in his expectations; In Zhang Yong's view, it seems that he took a detour and was abandoned by Liu Jin, which is to blame himself for not listening to his advice and not choosing to cooperate with him.

Seeing that Song Nan was silent, Zhang Yong also shut up, after all, Song Nan is not something he, the eunuch of the imperial prison, can complain and reprimand.

"Lord Song, our family speaks uprightly, and the offense is still Wanghaihan; Coming here today is an extremely important matter to inform Lord Song, this matter can be described as a matter of life and death for Lord Song; Originally, our family could choose to be silent as before, but our family is a person who misses the old and is grateful, and Lord Song also has a life-saving kindness to our family, maybe in Lord Song's heart, I Zhang Yong is not worthy of making friends with you, but in my Zhang Yong's heart, I regard Lord Song as a good friend and benefactor, so I risked my death to leave the palace to inform Lord Song of the news. ”

Song Nan straightened up, his expression suddenly became serious, Zhang Yong said anything like kindness and friendship, Song Nan would not believe him, but Song Nan absolutely believed that there must be a reason for Zhang Yong to come tonight.

"Father-in-law Zhang, but I don't know what it is?"

Zhang Yong said in a low voice: "Liu Jin has already asked the emperor for his consent to reopen the Yamen of the West Factory in the near future." ”

Song Nan said suspiciously: "West Factory? ”

Zhang Yong saw that Song Nan was not surprised, and frowned: "Yes, Xichang, isn't Lord Song surprised?" ”

Song Nan was not surprised because he didn't know what it meant to reopen the West Factory, but he didn't want to reveal his ignorance, and said in a deep voice: "Go on." ”

Zhang Yongdao: "A month ago, Liu Jin proposed to the emperor to reopen the West Factory during the Chenghua period, but the emperor has not agreed, and our family is afraid that Lord Song will be unhappy; Liu Jin grinded hard and soaked for a month, yesterday this guy took advantage of the emperor's drunkenness to rub again, the emperor was really annoyed by him, so he casually agreed to him, this guy went through the procedure, and soon saw that the West Factory Yamen was about to open. ”

Song Nan frowned and pondered, obviously the reopening of the Yamen of the West Factory had a lot to do with him, but he didn't know that it was related to that aspect.

I listened to Zhang Yong continued: "During the Chenghua period, Wang Zhi opened the West Factory, overriding the East Factory and the Jinyi Wei Yamen, and the majesty was unstoppable, but in the end, because of the excessive power, the West Factory was impeached and closed by the outer court and the Xun Qi, and now Liu Jin reopened the West Factory, that is, to take the old road of Wang Zhi, and Wang Zhi is different, Liu Jin also has a powerful help in the foreign court, as soon as the West Factory Yamen opens, it is difficult to restrict it, and the Jinyi Wei Yamen in charge of the Song Lord will also do things under the eyelids of others from now on, and the chains on his hands and feet are also covered, Lord Song's hard-working Jinyi Guard Yamen will also become a tool in the hands of others. ”

Song Nan remained calm on the surface, and his heart had set off a monstrous wave, and when he heard half of it, Song Nan had already understood that this Xichang Yamen must be another spy agency above the East Factory and the Jinyi Wei Yamen, and it can be vaguely known from Zhang Yong's words that the West Factory seems to have the responsibility of restraining his Jinyi Wei Yamen, that is to say, Liu Jin is equivalent to adding a superior Yamen between the Jinyi Wei Yamen and the emperor, if the West Factory really has this function, In the future, don't you have to go through the approval of the West Factory to do anything? This hand is really poisonous.

Song Nan frowned, cold sweat trickled down his back, Liu Jin played beautifully with this hand, recently he repeatedly smashed his use of Princess Kangning to frame himself, and snatched the position of the trilateral general system from Liu Jin's hands, and has repeatedly inflicted heavy blows on Liu Jin, Liu Jin was beaten by himself and couldn't fight back, and he had a trace of Liu Jin in his heart. However, Er'er's contempt, but he didn't expect Liu Jin's hand to play beautifully, if he succeeded, it would be a reversal, and the good situation obtained by all the previous efforts was suddenly gone.

The reason why he still has weight in the court is because of the particularity of this yamen, which is directly subject to the emperor, and is not subject to the control of other yamen, and there is an independent trial of prisoners in the Beizhen Fusi Prison, and he enjoys the privileges of being exempted from responsibility after the fact.

"Lord Song, this matter is aimed at you, Liu Jin is going to take you under the knife, I got this news and rushed overnight, I don't want you to be in the dark, there are no more than ten people who know about this matter at present, this matter has just been finalized, or there is a way to deal with it, our family came here to hope that Lord Song can find a countermeasure, I don't want Lord Song to be the same as me, and I will be bullied by that guy in the future." Zhang Yong said quietly.

Song Nan tried to calm his state of mind, thinking about countermeasures in his mind, but how could he come up with countermeasures for a while, he got up and arched his hand after a long silence: "Father-in-law Zhang, this matter is really like a thunderbolt from the sky, I can't figure it out for a while, Liu Jin will try his best to keep this matter secret, and he will not teach outsiders to know unless he is ready to improve, and his father-in-law is probably taking a great risk here, Song Nan is grateful." ”

Zhang Yongdao: "It's good that you understand this section, our family is not in Liu Jin's henchman, our family has a lot of complaints about what he did, Liu Jin has already regarded me as an obstacle, if it weren't for our family and the old man next to the prince, the emperor asked about his favor from time to time, I am afraid that he has already been eradicated, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is carrying his head when he goes out of the palace this time." ”

Song Nan said: "Father-in-law Zhang, rest assured, even if the news leaks, I will never let Liu Jin be unfavorable to my father-in-law." ”

Zhang Yong sighed: "If the news leaks, I am afraid that the gods will not be able to save me." ”

Song Nan said: "How come? I will order the Han generals of the Ten Thousand Commanders to take care of them in the palace, and Zhang Gonggong can find the Ten Thousand Commanders in case of danger. In addition, his father-in-law is the chief eunuch of the palace, and he probably doesn't dare to be too presumptuous. ”

Zhang Yong shook his head and said: "You don't know, Liu Jin is the same in the inner court, not to mention the ordinary chamberlain, even the chief eunuch in the palace also kills when he says kill." Gonggong Chen, the supervisor of the Divine Palace, has served in the palace for more than 20 years, his qualifications are older, his mouth is broken, and he does not respect Liu Jin very much. ”

Song Nan smacked his lips and said, "This dog thief is so arrogant, and it makes me worry about my father-in-law's safety." ”

Zhang Yong shook his head and said: "At the moment, there is no need to worry about the safety of our family, after all, my news is secretly learned, Liu Jin does not know that Lu Dao's plan has been leaked, even if he knows that Lu Dao's plan has been leaked, he will not be able to suspect my head for a while, even if he suspects me, I will have time to come to you for help, and at that time, adults will not refuse me to leave the door." ”

Song Nan smiled and said in a low voice: "Father-in-law seems to have an internal response?" ”

Zhang Yong glanced at Song Nan and said, "Do you want our family to sit and wait to die?"
