At the base of the imperial city to the east of the celebrant supervisor, there is a small mansion, which looks very ordinary from the outside, but when you enter the courtyard, you can know that every flower and tree is ingenious, and the materials used are also extremely exquisite.

This is the outer residence of Zhang Cheng, the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor and the governor of Dongchang, the second most powerful eunuch in the inner court, accompanied by his nephew Zhang Xiaoyang, waiting quietly in the courtyard.

The Governor of Dongchang is a great authority, often in charge of the East Factory can compete with the master of ceremonies and the seal of the master of ceremonies, and the power of the spy organization can be imagined, even the third yamen of the inner court, the imperial horse supervisor who holds the power of the four guards of Tengxiang, are a cut away from the boss of the East Factory.

It's a pity that Zhang Cheng is only the second most powerful eunuch to this day, and he has always been pressed on his head by Zhang Whale, and he only has the ability to parry and has no power to fight back, the main reason is that he can't really master the East Factory.

Zhang Cheng had to spend most of his time in the master of ceremonies, otherwise he would be slowly infiltrated by Zhang Whale in front of Wanli and fully grasp the power to approve the red, Zhang Cheng had to go home and eat the old rice, so the energy used to manage the East Factory had to be reduced.

More importantly, the East Factory has been operated by Feng Bao for many years, and it has been beaten into an iron bucket, Feng Bao and his apprentices and grandchildren have fallen down, Zhang Hong is the master of ceremonies, Zhang Whale has been the governor of the East Factory for a term, and he took the opportunity to have a big change, and now most of the people in the East Factory are Zhang Whale's people in power.

Later, Zhang Hong died, Zhang Whale became the master of ceremonies, and Zhang Cheng took over the East Factory, so he couldn't remove the old man and appoint his cronies like his predecessor - when Zhang Whale did this, he was faced with Feng Baoyan, who had become a dead tiger, and it was easy and happy to do, and others were willing to change the court; It was Zhang Cheng's turn to do it again, but he was facing Zhang Whale, the old opponent of the palm print of the high-ranking celebrant supervisor, how much difference was the difficulty?

Originally, the palm print of the master of ceremonies was a little stronger than that of the governor of the East Factory, and with the internal strengths and weaknesses of the East Factory, Zhang Cheng gradually felt powerless.

longing for Qin Lin to return to Beijing as soon as possible to help him deal with the increasingly arrogant Zhang Whale, this is the fundamental reason why Zhang Cheng helped Qin Lin so much.

Now he is waiting here, it is for Qin Lin's legendary staff, Xu Wei and Xu Wenchang!

The door creaked open, and several Dongchang fans wearing brown shirts, white leather boots and pointed hats hugged a small sedan chair and hurriedly walked into the courtyard.

Zhang Cheng was extra polite and stood up to greet him: "Mr. Xu's demeanor is still the same!" The stories in the palace are all the stories you wrote, and the songs you sang are all the little songs you made, the great talent of Jiangnan, hahaha......"

Xu Wenchang secretly said ashamed, full of plans to secure the country, and also assisted Hu Zongxian, Wu Dui, and Qin Lin to do many big things, but in the eyes of the court nobles, those legendary stories and drama songs are more important.

However, he exchanged 10,000 words for the owner's tree planting book. If it weren't for the fact that when Luo Tuo was down, he happened to meet Qin Lin, and his ambition in this life would be in Hudi?

"Mr. Xu?" Zhang Xiaoyang saw that Xu Wenchang was a little distracted, and reminded him from the side.

Oh, Xu Wenchang gathered his mind and laughed at himself a little embarrassedly: "The old man is a little older, and he is addicted to the things in the cup, and some thoughts do not belong, so he made Zhang's husband laugh." ”

The eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty were called eunuchs, and those who were close to them could be called husbands and companions.

Zhang Cheng looked enthusiastic, took Xu Wenchang's hand and shook it: "Mr. Xu is old and strong, this muscle and bone are very good, our family will point to you to make ideas!" ”

After that, Zhang Cheng and Zhang Xiaoyang both looked at Xu Wenchang eagerly, and their uncle and nephew also discussed how to get Qin Lin back to Beijing and what position to arrange for him after returning to Beijing, but they didn't figure it out until now.

After all, Qin Lin was born as a military minister of the factory guard, and it is difficult to say that he is an eagle dog of the imperial court, without extremely special circumstances, it is impossible to serve as a minister and a minister, let alone a cabinet minister, and it is low to be a pure military governor - at this time, the civil and military nobles are cheap, and the military rank of the border commander has to kowtow to the military department, what is the meaning? And Jinyiwei's critical position was occupied by others, and it is unlikely that Liu Shouyou or Luo Sigong will be driven away.

After all the calculations, they both had their heads broken, but they didn't come up with an idea, so they could only pin their hopes on Xu Wenchang.

Xu Wenchang stretched out his hand and twisted the gray beard under his chin, and pretended to be profound: "Husband Zhang, Father-in-law Zhang, please come over with your ears." ”

The uncle and nephew of the Zhang family stretched their heads over according to the words, and listened to Xu Wenchang say a few words in a low voice, and suddenly the eyes of the two of them became extremely strange, and Zhang Whale couldn't help laughing: "Mr. Xu, what do you want our family to say, our family?" Isn't that a joke? ”

"Hasn't Husband Zhang seen the current situation clearly?" Xu Wenchang smiled: "A thousand birds are in the forest, it is better to have a bird in your hand, there are some things that you have to work hard with, and you lack the effort to do more important things, why don't you give my family Chief Qin?" ”

Zhang Cheng was stunned, he was originally quick-witted, but he was shocked by the too unbelievable proposal just now, at this time, he heard that Xu Wenchang was not joking, so he calculated in his stomach, the more he calculated, the more he felt that it was beneficial and harmless to himself, maybe he could also use this to change the decline, after all, Qin Lin's talent was second to none among the factory guards.

As for all other aspects, it seems that this road is the best to take, and the resistance to opposition is the least...... "Mr. Xu is really talented, he thinks what people can't think, and pedestrians can't do it!" We admire it so much! Zhang Cheng arched his hand towards Xu Wenchang, which was a great tribute to the number two person in his inner court.

Xu Wenchang smiled and said goodbye.

Zhang Whale happily wanted to enter the palace to do errands, calling Zhang Xiaoyang, but saw that his nephew was in a daze.

"This old madman Xu is lazy!" Zhang Xiaoyang came back to his senses, "What did he say just now that a thousand birds are in the forest, it is better to have a bird in his hand, aren't we damaged by his twist?" ”

That's it, where did the eunuch get the bird?

Poof~~ Zhang Cheng sprayed, Xu Wenchang is worthy of being an old madman, and he is also a pit for his own people...... That's it, only Chief Qin can help him with this person, so let's thank you for it.

Zhang Cheng hurriedly entered the palace, and soon came to the imperial study where Wanli approved the recital, and Zhang Whale glared at him angrily.

At this time, Wanli was still young, and he had not been in power for a long time, and the momentum he had held back in the first ten years had burst out, and he still had a bit of diligent government, not a lazy face that did not go to court in the following decades.

His Majesty's brows twisted slightly, and the chapter spread out in front of him was the courtiers who promoted Qin Linkai to restore the official, not only that, but even his grandfather Marquis Wu Qing - last year, Li Wei's title was promoted from Bo to Marquis, and he also entered the palace and beat the side drum, as for the reason, Wanli also knew that it was actually no different from himself, and they were all blocked things.

Wuqing Marquis Li Wei, Li Gao and his son were carried by Qin Lin to do a lot of business, how could they be missing from the opening of the Silk Road this time?

For the sake of 500,000 taels of silver, Wanli also wants to transfer Qin Lin back, but what position to give Qin Lin, he is also difficult: in Jinyiwei, Liu Shouyou and Zhang Zunyao are not guilty, it is impossible to kick these two for Qin Lin, Luo Sigong is a chess piece arranged by himself, how can he take it away?

"Xiao Zhang, you're here!" Wanli raised his head and saw Zhang Cheng, and pointed to the chapter: "Look at it, it's all the chapter of Qin Aiqing, what position do I give him?" ”

After that, Wanli squinted at Zhang Cheng, he knew that Zhang Cheng and Qin Lin had a good relationship, which was also a temptation. The imperial mind techniques taught to him by Zhang Juzheng are always used by students in these.

Zhang Cheng nodded his head, bent down and said a few words in a low voice.

Wanli's performance was no different from when Zhang Cheng first heard about it from Xu Wenchang's mouth, and it was even more exaggerated, holding his stomach and laughing.

"Zhang Cheng bewitched Shengcong, please punish Your Majesty," Zhang Whale did not let go of every opportunity.

"Your Majesty, it's a bit unjustifiable to do this, but it's not too out of line to be a factory and a guard," Zhang Cheng added.

Bad name? Wanli slowly savored this sentence, and then looked at Zhang Whale and Zhang Cheng, who looked like black-eyed chickens, "It's not impossible, but Qin Aiqing was belittled by me and received a court cane, he ...... in his heart."

"Your Majesty, it's better to do it than to do it!" Zhang Cheng repeated what Xu Wenchang said.

It is better to make merit than to make it, Wanli was said to be in the heart again, Gao Gong is self-assured of meritorious, unruly, Zhang Juzheng has the merit of supporting the establishment, and has been in charge of the government for ten years, Zhang Siwei has merit in overthrowing the Jiangling Party, but he is ruthless and vicious, but Shen Shixing followed Zhang Juzheng in front of him, which is considered to have been, but he is extra diligent and careful.

"Okay, so be it!" Wanli couldn't help but laugh while agreeing.

Zhang Whale frowned, but he didn't strongly oppose it, anyway, Qin Lin's return to Beijing was unstoppable, and the new appointment did not harm his interests.

Wanli approved the will, and saw that the time was almost up, and led the two out of the imperial study, and happened to meet Zhu Yaoyuan, the eldest princess of Yongning, coming head-on.

"Brother Huang!" Yongning is cowardly and timid, her eyes are a little shy, she is young and young, her body has grown, and she looks more and more pitiful.

This girl is getting prettier the longer she grows! Wanli couldn't help but be a little surprised, but he didn't think anything about his sister-in-law, but secretly thought to himself, if Qin Lin didn't marry a wife, it would be good if he married this sister-in-law, Qin Lin would become a concubine, and he couldn't hold the authority, and he could do things for me with all his heart...... After Wanli left, to see if there was anyone, Yongning quietly entered the imperial study, Zhang Whale Zhang Cheng followed Wanli away, and the eunuchs on duty in the imperial study saw that she was talking to the emperor just now, and only said that the emperor allowed it, and no one stopped her.

Yongning pretended to be looking for something, and quietly looked at the unfolded piece of music, it was Xu Xinyi who told her that Qin Lin might return to Beijing after being promoted, and the little aunt immediately rushed over to see when Brother-in-law Qin would come back.

"Ahh Yongning's face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly walked out.

Half an hour later, in the Qinlin Mansion in Straw Hat Hutong, Xu Xinyi kicked over Taihu Stone in a fit of anger: "No, it must not be like this!" ”

Qing Dai also wrinkled her little face bitterly: "It can be cured elsewhere, but if it is cut there, even if the divine doctor can't do it!" ”

I poof~~ Hearing the noise and about to explain, Xu Wenchang squirted out a mouthful of Shaoxing rice wine.
