Zhengde suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Since this is the case, then I have no choice but to conform to the will of heaven and fulfill them." Liu Jin echoed: "The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all looking forward to the cabinet, I don't know how many people are raising a glass to celebrate tonight, tomorrow is coming, the emperor Shengming, should also make plans early." Otherwise, the news will leak out, and I am afraid that it will become chaotic. Zhengde was stunned for a moment and said, "There are only me and you here, how can it be leaked?" Liu Jin said: "Your old man forgot, the eunuch Wang Yue, the eunuch who holds the seal of the celebrant eunuch, has been in the palace for many years, and his ears and eyes are all over the place. They colluded with the elders of the pavilion, as well as Yang Hong, the eunuch of Qintian, to add fuel to the fire, saying that the celestial phenomena were abnormal, the long rainbow ran through the sun, and the purple wall was restless. Your old man's wife in the palace is peaceful, why is there no peace? It's all their nonsense and slander the court! How do the people of the outer square know the truth of the matter, and they have made the city full of wind and rain with false rumors, and every move of your old man in the palace, they have publicized it! ”

Zhengde was furious, his thin face turned red, and said: "I am a great tomorrow, these people dare to do this, don't I dare to kill people?" Come! ”

Saying that, Zhengde sat up straight, the eight people, Jiao Fang, and Liao Jianzhong quickly knelt down, and Zhengde called a small eunuch and said, "I will make an order immediately, and read it out to the court tomorrow morning." With Liu Jin as the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, supervising the East Factory, Zhang Yong is the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Eunuch, and the Shenji Camp is the same; Jiao Fang is the secretary of the ministry, the scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, Gu Dayong led the East Factory to join Jinyiwei, arrested Wang Yue, and that Yang Hong, and waited for me to deal with it! ”

"Emperor Shengming!" The crowd sang praises and prostrated incessantly. Zhengde looked at Liao Jianzhong again and said, "Jinyiwei has done a good job, what position is Liao Jianzhong now?" ”

Liao Jianzhong hurriedly said: "Weichen is the commander of Jinyiwei!" Zhengde scratched his head and said, "Your name, and that Zhang Ying, I have heard of it, very good, Jinyiwei you are very good!" ”

I was taken aback when I heard Zhengde mention my name, Lin Sheng smiled and pulled my hand, signaling me to calm down, only to hear Zhengde say again: "In this way, Liao Jianzhong, you are still the commander of the Jinyi Guard for the time being, and you can freely enter and leave the imperial city, and you will be rewarded!" I will adjust it in the future, Zhang Yingxi, that stupid boy stopped my horse at the beginning, but it seems that he is doing things well, what kind of official is he now? ”

Liao Jianzhong hurriedly said: "At present, it is the general banner of Jinyiwei!" Zhengde laughed and said: "This booklet, most of them are poor for him, how can he be the general flag?" In the past, my father said that this kid can be reused. Zhang Yong has been silent, but his expression is happy, he seems to want to speak, then Qiu Cheng has already spoken: "Old slave look, he should be promoted, but he is young, and he is too fast, for fear of attracting tongue!" Liu Jin said: "Being young is also a kind of capital, who hasn't been young?" Your Majesty, if you think it's good, then reuse it! ”

Hearing that someone agreed, Zhengde smiled and said, "Let that little cub come to see me!" The chamberlain shouted loudly: "Xuan Zhang Ying enters the palace!" I didn't understand at first, but the waiter shouted again, Lin Sheng pushed me, and said with a smile: "Don't go yet!" ”

I staggered in, and soon felt that I had lost my temper, stabilized my mind, walked in slowly, knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said: "Long live Zhang Ying, the general banner of Jinyi Wei, participate in my emperor, long live!" "I suddenly remembered the miscellaneous drama I watched when I was a child, and the courtiers had to talk like this when they saw the emperor. And after I said it, Zhengde laughed, and the rest of the fathers-in-law also laughed, Zhengde said: "You kid is ingenious, you can shout this, I see that you have watched too many plays!" ”

Liu Jin looked at Zhang Yong and said with a smile: "Father-in-law Zhang, this baby is your cousin?" Zhang Yong hurriedly walked out and said: "Back to Father-in-law Liu, he is a distant nephew of our family, favored by the first emperor, promoted a group of juniors to join, and he was able to become a brocade guard!" I heard that with a relative of Gonggong Liu, Zhang Ying, who are you all here? ”

Zhang Yong said, winking at me, I didn't understand what he meant, and when I saw Zhengde staring at me, I quickly replied: "The people who came to Jinyiwei with his subordinates are Ning Boyang, Hardy, Tan Sheng, and Gu Dachun. Liao Jianzhong interjected on the side: "There is another Qian Sheng, but he was transferred to the East Factory without waiting for him to enter Beijing." ”

As soon as Liu Jin was about to speak, Zhengde stopped and said: "I don't care about others, this Zhang Ying is really doing a good job, Commander Liao, I will promote him to be a thousand households." Also, Gonggong Liu, Gonggong Zhang, look at your place, if there is anything that can be used for him, discuss it, just use it. The elders have taught me that I do not avoid relatives when I move inside, and I don't avoid hatred when I move outside. The country is thirsty for talent, and talented people must be used. ”

Zhengde said, looking at me with his eyes, Zhang Yong hurriedly whispered to me: "Don't thank you yet!" I quickly fell to my knees and thanked him repeatedly.

There was a sudden commotion outside, and then someone rushed in, Zhengde's face changed, Liu Jin dodged and stopped in front of Zhengde, and the others also took advantage of the situation to surround him, and after a while, someone had already walked in, a middle-aged eunuch, followed by an old eunuch, panting and saying: "Father-in-law Fan, don't be rude!" And behind him were two young fathers-in-law.

Liu Jin had already shouted: "Fan Li, what crime should you be guilty of breaking into the palace late at night?" It turned out that this person was the eunuch Fan Li, who was a close confidant of Wang Yue's father-in-law, and the person behind him was also the eunuch Xiao Jing, Xiao Jing was a eunuch of the first dynasty, who did not fight for power, worked steadily, and won the trust of the emperor, so no matter which father-in-law, he had three points of respect for him.

Fan Li is an upright person, the so-called don't rub sand in his eyes, probably so, and said loudly at the moment: "Gonggong Liu, are you waiting to be on errands everywhere, what are you doing here?" And the people of Jinyiwei, why did they come here? His eyes were like a torch, and I couldn't help but lower my head. When he saw Jiao Fang again, he was stunned for a moment, and then he understood, sneered, and said, "Villain! ”

Liu Jin smiled and said, "I'm here to serve the emperor, why not?" ”

"Phew, you and the others are all traitorous and evil people, but you are just here to find the emperor to reverse black and white, intending to make a living!"

"Yes, they are indeed looking for me to make a living. Fan Li, what are you doing here? Zhengde said suddenly.

Fan Li bowed deeply and said: "Your Majesty, the slave is on duty in the celebrant supervisor, and he has drafted the holy decree in accordance with the emperor's will, and it will be read out by the court tomorrow morning; I heard that the Eight Tigers came here to lobby the emperor, and then someone passed on the message, saying that the previous holy decree was withdrawn, and the new decree was changed, and the slaves risked their lives to admonish, and the emperor should not raise tigers for trouble! ”

"What is the danger of raising a tiger? With one will, I can send them to eighteen levels of hell. Zhengde said lightly, "They just said a few fair words for me, you are born from the same root, why should you go against them." ”

Fan Li's face turned red and said: "Since the emperor's heir, as close ministers, they are treacherous and well-behaved, with sinister intentions, framing ministers, and acting arbitrarily, among which Liu Jin is the most vicious, and he seduces the emperor with arrogance and indulgence in absurdity every day, and the sound of drums and music in the official ban vibrates far and near. Hitting the ball and walking the horse, letting the eagle chase the dog, riding and shooting every day, and the haiku miscellaneous drama caused the emperor to work day and night, exhaust the spirit, lose the mind, and corrupt the virtue. The Ming Dynasty is not easy to come by, the ancestors have a great cause of 10,000 years, tied to the emperor, in case of losing the festival, even if these villains are crushed, it will not be beneficial to the government. Everyone in the world knows that they can be described as traitors, why doesn't the emperor know? Favoritism, is to destroy the Ming Dynasty, you have to think twice! ”

"Bold Fan Li, I have ascended to the great treasure, how can I not understand the difference between good and bad? Eight people can share my worries, and they are loyal ministers. You and others collude with foreign ministers, form parties for personal gain, manipulate the government and politics, and make friends with Mongolia, you are the scourge of the Ming Dynasty! I have served the first emperor for many years, and I don't care about your ridiculous words, and I don't retreat. Zhengde Tie blushed and said word by word.
