Chapter 80: Meet Wanli
The next day, Zhang Yun woke up, looked at Xu Xi, who was still lying beside him, sleeping, smiled, gently stroked her face, and then wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth for her.
Zhang Yun gently pulled out, for fear of waking her up.
Then, I washed and dressed quickly.
Today, he has a big deal to do.
He has been delaying it for a long time this time, and if he doesn't go to see Wanli again, the little emperor will probably be angry.
As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Yun got dressed and went straight to the palace.
The Forbidden City, inside the Imperial Palace.
"Your Majesty, Lord Zhang is back." Feng Bao was on the side and said with a smile on his face.
When Wanli heard it, he was overjoyed.
Then, when he thought that Zhang Yun dared not come back to resume his life, he went home directly, his face was cold, and he said lightly: "Oh, what did he do to me when he came back." β
Wanli picked up a book and read it.
"Your Majesty, your recital is reversed," Feng Bao reminded on the side, with a smile on his face.
"Ah" Wanli, a little embarrassed, had to wave his hand.
"You let him in."
When Zhang Yun walked into the hall, he saw Wanli with a somewhat cold face and Feng Bao who kept giving him a look next to him.
Zhang Yun had a countermeasure in his heart.
"Your Majesty, the minister wants you to die, and the minister almost won't see you this time."
Zhang Yun immediately knelt down, cried, and twisted his thigh twice so that he could drip a few tears.
Wanli saw Zhang Yun's crying, and remembered that he was intercepted and killed, and his heart softened.
waved his hand and said with a smile: "Get up, you are bullying me soft-heartedly, hum." β
Zhang Yun stood up suddenly, changed his appearance just now, and said with a smile: "Isn't this the emperor's kindness, having such an emperor is really a blessing for me and a blessing for my courtiers." β
"Stop, stop, you don't wear a top hat for me" Wanli waved his hand and smiled and signaled Zhang Yun to stop.
Immediately afterwards, Wanli asked Zhang Yun about what he had seen and heard in Shandong, and he was very yearning for the world outside the palace gate.
Zhang Yun cleared his throat and began to speak.
Zhang Yun said that when he used a strategy to defraud the grain of the three major families, Emperor Wanli laughed, and even Feng Bao looked at Zhang Yun in surprise, as if to say: "How can there be such a shameless person in this world." β
When Zhang Yun said that he was attacked by pirates, many soldiers were killed, and even Zhang Yun picked up a knife to fight with the pirates, Wanli couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for Zhang Yun.
Speaking of that Zhang Rulong turned out to be a rebel of the White Lotus Sect and dared to burn the grain and grass of the imperial court, Wanli was furious and scolded: "Chaotic ministers and thieves, his Zhang family is also a famous family, how can there be such an unscrupulous descendant." β
Finally, when Zhang Yun took people to Jinan, he fell for the tricks of the White Lotus Sect and almost died.
After hearing this, Wanli said helplessly: "Then Lu Shude is afraid that he can't be killed, I hope you can forgive me, this matter, there is no direct evidence, it proves that he instigated it, I hope you can understand." β
"But I have dismissed him and exiled him to Lingnan. Don't feel wronged, I will make it up to you elsewhere. β
Zhang Yun nodded again and again after hearing this, his goal was to bring down Lu Shude, the purpose had been achieved, if he was forced to be in a hurry, the dog jumped off the wall in a hurry, but it would not be beautiful.
Moreover, Wanli also promised to compensate him, judging from the magnanimity of Wanli's shot, this compensation is not small.
Zhang Yun looked very aggrieved on the surface, and said: "What Your Majesty asked the minister to do, the minister dare not follow." β
Wanli was deceived by Zhang Yun's wonderful performance, thinking that Zhang Yun still had grievances, so he had to give him more compensation.
After the two of them talked about the old days for a while, Zhang Yun got down to business.
Zhang Yun knelt on the ground, arched his hand, stared at Wanli, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the minister has requested the formation and training of the new army, and my Ming guard's office has already been eroded. β
"The minister went to Shandong and Xiangyang this time to see it clearly, I'm afraid that it is the guards of the Ming Dynasty, and there are no three out of ten."
Wanli was shocked when he heard this, and said with anger on his face: "Ah, how dare they, it's not that they have been eating empty salaries, I want to raid them all." β
Zhang Yun hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, the military salary of the guard has not been paid for a long time, they usually live by farming, and the firearms and weapons are already old and cannot be used. β
Wanli was embarrassed when he heard that the guard was so miserable, tidied up his dragon robe, and said slowly: "Okay, you can first train five thousand new troops to try, what else do you want, just put it forward." β
Zhang Yun was overjoyed when he heard that Wanli had given him 5,000 soldiers.
After all, Zhang Yun's expectation was only three thousand, and he was still thinking about how to place Wang Zhong and the others, but now it's all right?
Zhang Yun then thought that the current fire gun was a little old, and asked Wanli for his life: "Your Majesty, please go to the Ordnance Bureau, I hope Your Majesty can grant permission." β
Hearing this, Feng Bao on the side was also stunned.
Because, the Ordnance Bureau is now supervised by him and the Ministry of Works.
He couldn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Zhang Yun's gourd.
"It's just a little thing, you can go" Wanli nodded generously.
After Zhang Yun thanked him, he resigned to Wanli, Wanli wanted to keep Zhang Yun again, but Zhang Yun showed that he was in a hurry to go home for dinner and could not accompany the emperor.
Zhang Yun showed a smile that you understand.
After Wanli saw it, he waved his hand and scolded with a smile: "Hurry up, I don't want to see your face." β
Zhang Yun really rolled for a short while, which made Wanli laugh.
Wanli looked at Zhang Yun who was walking away, smiled at Feng Bao next to him and asked, "Feng Daban, what do you say I will reward Zhang Yun?" β
Feng Bao thought for a moment, smiling all over his face. "Your Majesty, Master Zhang is already in a high position at such an age, and he is not short of money, but I heard that his future father-in-law and fiancΓ©e followed him to the capital."
"Your Majesty might as well give his father-in-law a thousand households in Beijing, give his fiancΓ©e a four-grade Gongren, and her mother a third-grade lady."
After hearing this, Wanli patted Feng Bao's shoulder, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Hahaha......"
"Okay, okay, I'll leave this matter to you."
After Feng Bao heard this, he immediately nodded and called someone to announce the decree.
It's not that Feng Bao doesn't want to promote Zhang Yun, it's just that it's not the right time.
Zhang Yun has just defeated Lu Shude, and now he is leading an army alone, and he has also intervened in the Ordnance Bureau, and he is in the limelight.
If Zhang Yun learned that Feng Bao thought about him so much, he would probably be moved to tears.
Zhang's Mansion.
A eunuch in a red official robe read aloud with a holy decree: "Xu Meng, a hundred households in Xiangyang, is known for his merits, the general manager of the Shengshen Battalion, Xu Xi, the daughter of Xu Meng, virtuous and virtuous, Feng Sipin Gongren, Zhang Liu's family, dignified and elegant, specially named the third grade lady, Qin this." β
The crowd hurried to thank him.
Zhang Yun stared at the eunuch and asked, "It's over?" β
The eunuch hurriedly glanced at the holy decree again, and replied, "It's over, it's all here." β
Zhang Yun secretly slandered himself: "Didn't you say that you would compensate me?" Why didn't I get promoted, the little emperor is too stingy. β
Then he took out a piece of silver and handed it to the eunuch who came to announce the decree.
After the eunuch got it, he said a few kind words and left happily.
After the eunuch left, everyone's faces were full of smiles.
Xu Xi hugged Zhang Yun and said with a smile: "Xiaoyun, Sister thank you." β
Xu Meng quipped on the side: "It's still called Xiaoyun." β
Xu Xi had to blush, and whispered a little twistedly: "Husband~"
