this day.

Zhou Shang, who had been exiled to Jinling as an idle eunuch, finally returned to the capital in high spirits.

But he didn't go to Dongchang first to take over the power and rectify the personnel, but came to Huangzhuang first and visited the Wu'an Hou Mansion.

"Let's meet Master Jiang, Master Jiang is very gracious, and Zhou Shang is unforgettable!"

Zhou Shang was invited to the lobby, and as soon as he saw Jiang Ning, he knelt directly on his knees and fell to the ground in a daze.

It's no wonder that he has such an amazing move.

It's really too difficult for the Nanjing Imperial Palace.

He was assigned to grow vegetables, pick up dung and water it day after day, so that how could he, a powerful eunuch like the former powerful eunuch, survive.

Although Jiang Ning promised him an opportunity to transfer him to a place to be a town guard eunuch, he never looked forward to the news.

Unexpectedly, now that he has directly ascended to the sky and taken charge of the East Factory, how can this not make Zhou Shang grateful to Jiang Ning and die.

"Father-in-law Zhou, please get up quickly, there is no need to do this."

Jiang Ning helped Zhou Shang up with a smile, sat down on the seat, and personally poured him a cup of tea.

"If it weren't for Lord Jiang's advice to His Majesty, my family would not still be accompanied by dung and water in Nanjing, and our family wouldn't want to live any longer that day."

Zhou Shang took the teacup with both hands and said with emotion:

"After hearing such good news, our family did not dare to delay for a day, and after entering Beijing, we first came to thank the Lord for his kindness.

In the future, the adult instructed that as long as Zhou could do it, he would go all out and not dare to slack off. ”

Jiang Ning smiled slightly.

This is Zhou Shang's complete surrender to himself.

After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Zhou Shang suddenly said:

"Although our family has not entered Beijing, I have also heard that there are many things in the court that are not long-sighted, and they impeach adults for any lingering and frivolous and unprovoked, which is really hateful.

If you think that adults have already made such a monstrous feat at a young age, even if you feel tired, what does it matter if you occasionally relax and relax?

If the adults are in need, our family will go back and order the East Factory to turn out their rotten yin and private affairs, and participate in them fiercely! ”

Jiang Ning smiled and waved his hand:

"Father-in-law Zhou has a heart, but it hasn't reached this point yet, the officials are clear, so they can go and see if His Majesty will ignore them.

If you want the official to see it, Gonggong Zhou should first complete the rectification of the East Factory and completely control it in his own hands.

In addition, the White Lotus Sect, which is halfway through the investigation of Gu Gonggong, must also continue to investigate, and there must be no relaxation. ”

Zhou Shang hurriedly nodded and said, "Don't worry, my lord, our family has written it down, and we must do what my lord orders." ”

Jiang Ning heard that the sincerity of his words was very strong, and he couldn't help but say:

"By the way, there is one more thing that needs to be reminded of Grandpa Zhou.

Previously, Lord Zhang of Jinyiwei had a conflict with Liu Jin and Liu Gonggong, but he offended him ruthlessly, resulting in Jinyiwei not being miserable now, and the envoys of Beizhen were all arrested and imprisoned indiscriminately on charges of being charged.

Therefore, in the future, Gonggong Zhou will be the commander of Dongchang, remember not to disobey Gonggong Liu's intentions, and when it is time to bow your head, you have to bow your head.

Otherwise, Jinyiwei is a lesson from the past. ”

Zhou Shang was stunned.

In his opinion, Jiang Ning's power is no worse than Liu Jin's, and he is even victorious, how can he be told to submit to Liu Jin?

And the relationship between the two should be good, so they won't say such things.

Suddenly, a flash of realization flashed in Zhou Shang's eyes.

He finally realized that the two had a disagreement, and this was forcing him to completely stand in line!

After hesitating for a while, Zhou Shang gritted his teeth and got up again and fell to the ground, and said sincerely:

"Zhou can have today's majesty again, all relying on the support of adults, this grace is like reconstruction, Zhou dares not to do his best.

In the future, whatever the adults command, Zhou will do, and this incomplete life will be handed over to the adults! ”

Jiang Ning laughed and helped him up, and said, "Gonggong Zhou is really serious, but he is watching and helping each other. ”

Afternoon.

Jiang Ning, who hosted a banquet to entertain Zhou Shang, came to the leopard room with Zhang Cai to meet Zhu Houzhao, who had recently moved here.

"Jiang Shi is here?"

Zhu Houzhao excitedly pulled Jiang Ning out: "You came just in time, someone just paid tribute to a few fierce leopards, let's go and take a look." ”

Jiang Ning hurriedly pressed it and said, "Your Majesty, Commander Zhang has something to do." ”

"Oh?"

Only then did Zhu Houzhao notice Zhang Cai, smack his lips, and said impatiently: "What is Zhang Qing's doing, why don't you write it down and submit it to the celebrant supervisor?" ”

Zhang Cai took out a dossier from his bosom:

"Previously, the officials of the two Beijing jointly wrote a letter to retain Liu and Xie, and the minister has sorted out the confessions and came to His Majesty to read."

Zhu Houzhao said dumbly: "This matter has passed for a long time, I don't know how long, why are you still entangled?" That's it, put it down, I'll see it later. ”

As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something, and said to Jiang Ning: "Jiang Qing, speaking of songs, I just saw an extremely interesting one, you can take a look at it together." ”

Jiang Ning answered yes and took the recital.

Gradually, his brow furrowed.

This is a note about King Ning, the content of which is that Jiangxi Juzi jointly named King Ning to be pure and filial, and wanted the court to crown him as filial piety.

"Your Majesty, King Ning is already the vassal king of the imperial court, how can he still snatch a lot of fame from ordinary scholars?"

Zhu Houzhao laughed and said, "That's why I said this is funny." King Ning is also confused, the prince doesn't do it, he wants to be filial piety. ”

Jiang Ning thought about it for a while, stroked his palm and smiled:

"Your Majesty's words are good, King Xiang Ning is already a very popular minister, and others can't have the title and wealth in his life, he was born with it, what is it to compete with ordinary people?

Isn't the prince tired of being a prince, wanting to enter the official career and slowly rise to the top of the official addiction? Haha, it's funny. ”

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, his brows furrowed suddenly, and then slowly stretched out again.

He only regarded Jiang Ning's casual words as if he were silent, and he didn't take them to heart anymore.

Jiang Ning didn't care when he saw his expression.

Of course, he didn't hope that Zhu Houzhao would be wary of King Ning all of a sudden, but he just wanted to plant a tiny seed.

In the future, it will one day grow into a towering tree.

At this moment, Zhang Cai stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, speaking of King Ning, the minister happened to have another thing to report. ”

Immediately afterwards, he told Liu Jin about accepting bribes from King Ning and reorganizing the three guards.

I didn't want Zhu Houzhao to say instead:

"Jiangxi has been in chaos to such a point, and it is difficult to rebuild the Sanwei people at the expense of King Ning at the expense of letting King Ning violate the ancestral system."

Zhang Cai was dumbfounded.

That's not where he said.

However, he also admired that Jiang Ning was really like a god, and it really didn't play any role for Liu Jin.

Zhang Cai couldn't help but strengthen his idea of following Wu Anhou.

"Jiang Shiyu, do you think I should agree to King Ning's request?

King Ning treats me the best among the vassal kings of all places, and every time he pays tribute, he also wins my heart the most, and I can't bear to see him live in fear every day. ”

Jiang Ning sighed faintly.

This son of heaven is really affectionate, as long as he is good to him, he will remember it deeply.

"Your Majesty, since there are bandits in the whole territory of Jiangxi, the people are also deeply disturbed.

If it is only to add soldiers and horses to King Ning's mansion, it will only be King Ning who will be defended, not tens of millions of people in Jiangxi.

It was the ministers who thought that His Majesty should order all the guards in Jiangxi to cooperate with the government to suppress the bandits and exterminate them with all their might.

Wouldn't this not violate the ancestral system, but also protect the safety of King Ning and the people? ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded again and again:

"Yes, yes, I didn't think of that.

Fortunately, with you, Jiang Shishu, I will not be difficult to do in front of my ancestors and ancestors. ”

"Your Majesty!"

Suddenly, a coquettish voice came in.

Immediately afterwards, a gust of fragrant wind wafted in, and the two daughters of Xirong and Zhouruo happily stepped on the lotus feet and ran into the hall.

Seeing this, Zhang Cai hurriedly retired to Zhu Houzhao.

Jiang Ning stayed.

With his identity, he doesn't have to care so much at all.

"The two beauties came just in time, I was about to go to see the tiger and leopard with Jiang Shiyu, you might as well go together."

Although Zhu Houzhao has been less interested in the two girls recently.

But he is not a ruthless character in the end, but he still loves them very much.

They were specially allowed to move into the leopard house together.

You must know that this is a treatment that Queen Xia and the two concubines do not have.

"Okay, Your Majesty, it's just that those tigers and leopards are very vicious, you have to protect our sisters."

The two women, one on the left and one on the right, pitifully pasted Zhu Houzhao.

"Haha, it's easy to say."

Zhu Houzhao suddenly had a desire to protect.

Jiang Ning was really not interested in watching them flirt, so he proposed to retire on the grounds that he still had official business.

"It's not a coincidence, it's just that, it's the same next time."

Zhu Houzhao said, and changed his words: "Tomorrow is the silkworm ceremony, in addition to the queen's concubines, the ladies of the noble ministers' families will also participate."

I want you to take the opportunity to bring Miss Wanning out, and when it's over, we'll go to the Tangquan Palace in Changping to have fun. ”

"Your Majesty, I don't know if I can take the two princesses together, the previous ministers met the Queen Mother, and they mentioned that they wanted to go out of the palace to have a look.

The minister thanked the two highnesses for their kindness in helping each other that day, and made a proposal to ask His Majesty for permission. ”

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said: "It's okay, the two imperial sisters must be very depressed in the palace for a long time, so they should go out and have a look." ”

After Jiang Ning thanked him, he retired and left.
