On the fifth day of Sun Zheng's return, Gao Feng came to visit.

Sun Zheng was practicing in the garden in a loose robe, and he didn't deliberately change his formal clothes, and let him in directly. Gao Feng is an acquaintance, so there is no need to see him.

Gao Feng didn't come to visit alone, with a half-sized son by his side.

As soon as the two entered the garden, they were busy saluting, and Sun Zheng hurriedly asked Lao Zhao to stop them.

"Lao Gao, did you deliberately scold me? Others don't know what's going on with this national teacher, can you not know the twists and turns here? ”

Gao Feng smiled: "The young master sees thousands of miles!" ”

Sun Zheng's face was black: "You are a sycophant to shoot Your Majesty, and we still play this game between us?" Ah, this is your son? ”

Most of the eunuchs have no heirs (some have married and had children before entering the palace), and when they get a high position, they will often recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, pass or adopt their righteous sons, and ask for an incense sacrifice, which is a tradition.

Gao Feng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "How can our family have that blessing!" This is Mu Bin, the son of a hundred households......"

"Uncle Mu?" Sun Zheng was shocked: "Why are there hundreds of households?" Oh, since you are your own brother, Lao Zhao, hurry up and bring an embroidery pier for Brother Mu. ”

If it is Gao Feng's righteous son, he should stand for a while, but Mu Bin is Sun Zheng's benefactor, and his son comes to the door, he is a serious guest, and it is not good to let the guest stand.

Gao Feng explained: "What else can it be? Liu Jinbei! Our father-in-law Liu, since His Majesty succeeded to the throne, it has become more and more domineering. It doesn't count as taking the position of our master of ceremonies Bingbi, even the factory guards are grabbed! Mu commanded that person, and the master knew it. has the same temperament as a person, and there is always a bit of righteousness in his heart. It is not good for him to fight against Liu Jin, so he can only take care of those officials who have been sent to prison in private. Liu Jin was upset about this matter, and he found a reason for him to be demoted to 100 households to live at home. Brother Lin has had a few friendships with our family, and when he heard that the master was back, he brought him with us to see the master. ”

100 households, as long as people are fine, there is always a chance to get ahead. But it's a bit interesting that this kid can actually think of going into the palace to see him.

"Is it called Mu Lin? How old are you this year? ”

Mu Lin was originally sitting upright on the Jindun, and when he heard the question, he stood up: "If you return to the country, you will be nine years old this year." ”

"You sit! Don't see me, just be in your own home. Nine years old, I was born when I went to the Trilateral Prison Army...... Can you read? ”

The child was about to stand up and reply again, but Sun Zheng couldn't cry or laugh: "I haven't moved for too long, and my family has a share." You don't know, when I was young, I grew up in your family. We are serious family members, don't care what they call the national teacher, call the meritorious brother to listen! ”

The child squirmed for a long time, and shouted softly: "Brother Gonggong!" ”

Ha ha!

Sun Zheng suddenly had a sense of immediacy as the rich man greeted his poor relatives, tsk, he felt a bit like a villain, this style of painting was wrong.

"If you can let a child break into the palace to come to see me, is someone bullying your family?"

Mu Lin subconsciously wanted to nod, but was suddenly stunned, and quickly shook his head: "No, no, it's just that my father heard rumors that the country is ...... said that Brother Jiangong was back, and he didn't know whether the news was true or not, so he asked the little one to go to Father-in-law Gao to inquire. ”

Then Gao Feng took this opportunity to lead people directly into Chonghua Palace.

Why is Gao Feng so positive? Obviously, he was also angry with Liu Jin, and hit it off.

Judging from Mu Lin's performance, Mu Bin's life must be difficult.

Liu Jin!

This cargo still flew up the road to death.

Liu Jin's arrogance does seem to be a little too arrogant, can't you find someone else? Do you have to use the master's relatives as valves?

Gao Feng is also a coward, everyone is one of the Eight Tigers, and he has served the little emperor since he was a child. You are still an intellectual who has listened to the lectures of Confucianism in the inner study hall, but you were robbed of an errand by a second-hand eunuch who became a monk halfway, and an illiterate person who is not very literate! You're so embarrassed to come to me to complain!

Since Sun Zheng's return, he has to adapt to his body. Zhao Yuanfu and Qian Shuangxi, the two old men who carried them around, were worried that the master would be affected by those chores outside, so they didn't bother him with those things.

Except for the visit of the three pavilion elders, they talked about it lightly, and they had little understanding of the outside world.

This also led to the outside world not being able to figure out the truth of Sun Zheng's real situation. Before seeing Sun Zheng himself, who knew if the news of his awakening was true or false.

Sun Zheng figured out the joints in a blink of an eye, and glanced at Gao Feng, this old man was full of anticipation.

Hey! The eunuch is really a little psychologically perverted. Fortunately, the master is not!

This old man knows that Sun Zheng has the most protective temperament, and Mu Bin's matter will reach Sun Zheng's ears sooner or later. He took advantage of this time difference to sell it to Sun Zheng in advance.

As for the benefits? It is a great benefit to be able to treat King Sun Yan as his own person!

Sun Zheng comforted Mu Lin for a few words, turned his head and shouted.

"Old money! You run and send Brother Lin back. By the way, bring the sword on the shelf to Uncle Mu. ”

Qian Shuangxi was taken aback: "What did the master say about the Shang Fang sword given by the first emperor?" ”

"That's right! You tell Uncle Mu that I live in the palace, and my food, clothing, and flowers are all public things, and I have no money to help him. Only the first emperor gave this sword, which can be regarded as his own thing. If he is too short on money, and use it as a few dollars to get by! ”

Qian Shuangxi understood, answered, hurriedly went to hold the sword, and took Mu Lin all the way out of the palace to send him home.

Gao Feng left Chonghua Palace, all the way. Those guys who relied on Liu Jin's momentum to bully Mu Bin, if they got the news and didn't scare out the, count him constipated!

Waiting for everyone to leave, Sun Zheng called Zhao Yuanfu again.

"Lao Zhao! You take a trip, take a horse whip and give it to Liu Jin, and give it to him when there are many people. said that the master was unhappy with him, and let him receive twenty whips by himself. Leave him alone or not, give him the whip and you'll be back. ”

Zhao Yuanfu smiled and responded, trotted all the way with a horsewhip, and went straight to Liu Jin's private house.

Since Gonggong Liu was in charge of the celebrant supervisor, his status and status have been rising, and the house has been repaired comparable to the manor of the prince and minister. When Emperor Zhengde was not in Beijing, he could almost be half of the Ming Dynasty, and the door of Liu's house was crowded every day, and the door was not blown out.

At noon that day, Liu Jin was gathering in the lobby with a group of henchmen to discuss matters.

Zhao Yuanfu politely came to the door and respectfully handed him the horse whip. In front of everyone, he relayed Sun Zheng's words, and then turned around and left, not paying attention to the follow-up situation at all.

Others are still discussing whether the news of Sun Guoshi's awakening is true or false, Liu Jin has already obediently laid on the bench and asked people to whip himself twenty times in public. And it was repeatedly emphasized that it was not allowed to leave hands.

Others are not sure, but Liu Jin knows it clearly. Among the three elders, Jiao Fang was his person, and the confirmed news was passed to him on the same day.

When the first emperor was there, he was beaten by Sun Zheng a few times, and Liu Jin was very impressed. He didn't dare to go to see Sun Zheng alone, he could only hope that before the emperor returned to Beijing, Sun Zheng couldn't think of such a small person as him.

It's been five years, five whole years without news, and he thinks this man is dead. Who would have thought that he would be able to come back!

At this moment, Liu Jin was extremely glad that he had just demoted Mu Bin to idle. If you really listened to those few staff members and threw Mu Bin into prison to kill Liwei, I am afraid that today it will not be as simple as being whipped. With the relationship between King Sun Yan's temperament and the emperor, he really started a fire and chopped his Lao Liu with a knife, and the emperor sighed a few times at most when he came back, and he didn't even necessarily say anything serious.

Witnessed by countless officials who came to flatter, Gonggong Liu obediently received twenty horse whips, got up after the beating, knelt at the door respectfully, and kowtowed in the direction of the palace, thank you for this beating!

Liu Jin is so high-profile, firstly, he is soft on Sun Zheng, so as not to provoke him to anger, which is really fatal. The second is to make an impression on the emperor and let the emperor see that he has such a caring little padded jacket that has been bullied like this by Sun Zheng. It's better to wait for the emperor to come back and find a chance to get justice.

Liu Jin only cared about escaping death and ignored one thing. With his current status and power, such a high-profile submission to Sun Zheng is enough to explain the difference between the two. Even Liu Jin himself crossed the river with mud bodhisattvas, what would those under his command who took advantage of Sun Zheng take advantage of?

That night, 16 officials of the Jinyi Guard system hanged themselves at home. This is thinking about it, feeling that I have offended King Sun Yan too deeply, and I am worried that it will affect my family, so I simply can't see it and don't worry about it, and I die clean.

Liu Jin's henchman, the new commander of the Jinyi Guard, made Yang Yu abscond with his family overnight, but a few days later, he was found hanging his family in a small courtyard. In normal times, this is a big case, and with the news of the return of King Sun Yan, the death of Yang Yu's family is just a fragment of everyone's mouths. It doesn't matter if it's suicide or homicide! How the truth is, no one cares!

On the other side, Mu Bin, who was originally forced to the end of the road, was surrounded by visitors before it was dark. No matter how the Mu family refuses, let alone whether they remember it or not, anyway, all kinds of gifts don't need money to pile up at the door. Mu Bin, who was harmed, contacted Leak Zeyuan again, and Tzu Chi Yuan came to receive it.

Early the next morning, Mu Bin was invited back to the Zhenfu Division by his old subordinates, and although there were no appointment procedures, his power was stronger than before.

King Sun Yan, who has disappeared for five years, has returned in a high-profile manner in such a rude and unreasonable way!

The tenth day of the return is the Mid-Autumn Festival of the third year of Zhengde.

Sun Zheng finally fully mastered his new body and quietly went to Jingtai Mausoleum to pay tribute to his master. Hong Sanbao buried himself in this place, Sun Zheng wanted to cry a few times, but he couldn't do it, so he could only quietly burn a few pieces of paper.

I have to admire the wisdom of the old guy, hiding here, no one really bothered me, and finally it was quiet.

The next day, I went to Tailing to pay tribute to Emperor Hongzhi. Among the eunuchs guarding the mausoleum, I saw an old acquaintance Li Guang.

Li Guang did not have the prestige of the former factory superintendent, but was more like a coffin in his last years.

Sun Zheng refused to be accompanied by others, and asked Li Guang to accompany the ceremony.

This trembling old man, who seems to be able to be blown down by a strong wind, magically shakes up his spirits, and with a gesture, he seems to have returned to his former demeanor in front of Emperor Hongzhi.

Li Guangzheng stood solemnly and sang his name and saluted.

Sun Zheng suppressed his emotions for a long time, vented like an avalanche, and cried happily.

The eunuchs and officials guarding the tomb sent Sun Zheng away, and when they turned around and wanted to talk to Li Guang, they found that the former factory governor had passed away with a smile on his face.
