Chapter 787: Duke Qin?
It turns out that the Empress Dowager Li was born in a small businessman, and she has dealt with the three religions and nine streams in the market since she was a child, and her father Li Wei and brother Li Gao are also market businessmen who love to be greedy for small profits and like to play scoundrels.
When she entered the palace, gave birth to the crown prince, and became the queen mother, the people in the palace always spoke with a single glance, and she was so rigid that her husband Emperor Longqing died early, she was really lonely, so she pinned her mind on the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha.
Because of this, every time Li Wei and Li Gao's father and son entered the palace to ask for this or that, Empress Dowager Li didn't feel annoyed, and she felt very happy talking to them for a long time.
Qin Lin was originally the nephew of Empress Dowager Li, he was like a little slipper in front of his elders at this time, he was really similar to a few naughty nephews in the family when Empress Dowager Li was young, she was amused and grinned, where would she be angry?
"This General Qin, playful and young, is much stronger than those tuberculosis ghost talents, alas, why did he get married early? Otherwise, Yao will ...... her" Empress Dowager Li thought like this, not knowing that the daughter beside her had already been entrusted to Qin Lin.
There are indeed not many mothers like Empress Dowager Li who don't understand their daughters.
Empress Dowager Li's expression turned kind, her upper body leaned forward slightly, and she asked with a smile: "Well, General Qin came to see the mourning family, is there anything wrong?" The mourning family knows that you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, so you must have come to ask me what I wanted. ”
It's good to please me, Yongning thought like this, oops, Zhu Yaoyao, why are you so cheeky? She blushed and quietly stuck out her tongue.
Seeing Qin Lin, Yongning, who was originally surnamed Ge Introvert, became more cheerful and playful.
Qin Lin smiled and saluted the Empress Dowager Li: "The Empress Dowager's eyes are like lightning, and she really knows what Weichen is like." Don't hide it from the Queen Mother, since Feng Dugong is gone, there is a vacancy in the Admiral Dongchang, Weichen is thinking about being this official, afraid that it will not be useful to ask others, so he specially came to ask the Queen Mother! ”
I'm poof~~ From Empress Dowager Li, Yongning to Zhang Xiaoyang, and then to the palace maids and eunuchs on duty in Cining Palace, they all covered their stomachs and laughed wildly, they have seen shameless, not as shameless as Qin Lin, and not as nonsensical as Qin Lin!
"Hahaha, laughing to death, laughing to death!" Empress Dowager Li laughed breathlessly, and only after a while did she open her eyes and ask, "General Qin, do you want to be a eunuch?" ”
Qin Lin was stunned, and then shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, Weichen has three wives!" ”
"The Governor of Dongchang, also known as the Governor of the East Factory Office, has always been the position of the eunuch, what is the punishment of thousands of households, the punishment of hundreds of households, is what the Jinyi official can do when he is transferred over," Empress Dowager Li laughed while explaining to Qin Lin, and couldn't help laughing: "You are really unlearned, and you are also the master of Dongchang, why don't you ask for the palm seal of the celebrant supervisor?" If you want to give up your three wives and enter the palace cleanly, the mourning family will let you be the master of ceremonies and the master of the East Factory! ”
Well, this seems to be a good suggestion, the master of ceremonies and the governor of Dongchang, the power leans towards the government and the opposition, covering the sky with one hand, and there are countless eunuch eagles and dogs under his command, and the government and the opposition are nine thousand years old, and since then they have become the ultimate villain in the minds of all righteous people...... Phew, our Chief Qin is not this kind of person!
Even if others agree, the eldest princess of Yongning is not happy, I heard that her mother's mouth was full of firewood, and she asked Qin Lin to be the master of ceremonies, the palm seal, and the governor of Dongchang, and her cherry mouth was so pouting that she could hang an oil bottle!
Qin Lin said with a hippie smile: "The Queen Mother coaxed me." There are already people in the palm print of the celebrant supervisor, I only came to ask for the position of the superintendent of the East Factory, and the Queen Mother will not give it, and she will lie to people's faces......"
What, the celebrant has someone's palm print? Empress Dowager Li's face fell, and she asked left and right in surprise: "Could it be that the palm print of the celebrant is given to people?" How come the mourning family doesn't know? ”
Empress Dowager Li naturally has a lot of little ears around her, she doesn't ask, no one dares to say, she took the initiative to ask, and several little eunuchs knelt on the ground with a puff, and kowtowed again and again: "It's not that the slaves and maids dare to hide from the mother, it's, it's true, it's ...... Your Majesty, I heard that you should choose one of the two Zhang Gongyuan to be the palm seal of the celebrant and supervisor. ”
Although the eunuchs did not say it explicitly, Empress Dowager Li also knew that her son had done it again, so she immediately turned red-faced, "Swing and nourish the heart!" ”
Empress Dowager Li walked out of Cining Palace angrily, and Qin Linwu followed behind and pretended to be stupid: "Hey, hey, I really only need the master of Dongchang and the master of ceremonies to give the palm print to anyone, why are you angry?" ”
Zhu Yaoyao smiled, this guy is really ......, "Come on, Qin Taibao, don't pretend!" Zhang Xiaoyang gently pulled Qin Lin, wouldn't you be too much if you pretended to be again?
Yangxin Palace, Wanli personally drafted the decree, the ceremonial supervisor is the inner court, although the power is actually the head of the inner court Yamen who competes with the cabinet, but nominally belongs to the emperor's domestic slave, so he wrote the edict himself, and there is no need to go through the procedures of drafting, approving red, sealing and refutating, making an edict, and sending it.
Zhang Whale was triumphant, still pretending to be grateful on his face, standing next to him with his waist bent, pressing the paper for Wanli.
Zhang Cheng was so frustrated that he couldn't show it either, and he was grinding ink for Wanli, but his eyes looked out from time to time: his nephew Zhang Xiaoyang went to find Qin Lin, this time, can Qin Lin save the situation? I'm afraid it's unlikely, after all, you don't have any jokes, this is already writing an edict...... The sound of hurried footsteps came from far and near, the door was pushed open with a creak, Wanli raised his head in astonishment, and what caught his eye was the angry face of his mother, Empress Dowager Li.
"Your Majesty, you, how long are you going to hide from the mourning family?" Empress Dowager Li was angry, pointed at Zhang Whale and Zhang Cheng and said, "Two little rabbit cubs, which one do you want to make the palm seal of the celebrant supervisor?" Okay, okay, even hide this from the mourning family, what are you afraid of? In your mind, is the mourning family Empress Lu or Wu Zetian? ”
The two Zhang puffed and knelt on the ground, kowtowing again and again to forgive, Zhang Whale was particularly nervous, and Zhang Cheng was a little better, anyway, His Majesty's palm print was Zhang Whale, and it was better to be disturbed by the Queen Mother.
The corners of Wanli's mouth pulled up, smiled strongly, and walked down from behind the bookcase: "The queen mother is serious, and the son just doesn't want you to bother, so he made his own decision to choose the palm seal of the celebrant and didn't hide it from you." The queen mother is benevolent, filial and loving, and the mother is the world, how can she be compared with those women who were in turmoil in the previous dynasty? Erchen was really terrified. ”
Empress Dowager Li's anger disappeared a little, but when she saw Zhang Jing and Zhang Cheng kneeling on the ground, she still felt that it was not pleasing to the eye when she looked horizontally and vertically, and she was really reluctant to let them be the eunuchs of the master of ceremonies and the palm seal.
"That's it, the queen mother doesn't care about you, let you do it, lest you say that the queen mother is a woman interfering in politics!" Empress Dowager Li shook her hand, stopped her son who was about to explain, and changed her words again: "However, the inner court slave, as the queen mother, I must be the master this time, let and let ...... Zhang Hong will do it! ”
After thinking for a while, Empress Dowager Li said the name Zhang Hong, she also remembered it temporarily, she usually felt that Zhang Hong was steady, honest, not forming a party for personal gain, and bringing down Feng Bao, although he knew about it and did not report it, but he and Qin Lin together saved Feng Bao's surname, and also indirectly saved some face of Empress Dowager Li, so at this time I suddenly thought of him.
Wanli was very helpless, but he also knew that overthrowing Feng Bao was very stimulating to his mother, and it was not appropriate to fight anymore, otherwise it would be extremely unfavorable to what he was going to do next, so he had to tell in a low voice: "Queen Mother, Zhang Hong is old, I am afraid that he will not be able to do things......"
"It doesn't matter if the mourning family doesn't matter, you must listen to the mourning family this time," Empress Dowager Li put on a posture of vowing not to give up until the goal was achieved.
Zhu Yaoyuan was always silent, and this time she finally said softly: "Brother Huang, the queen mother is so angry that she can't eat these days, so you can follow the queen mother." ”
Although Wanli's surname is cold, he is quite passable to his family, seeing that this sister who never causes trouble and never comes out of nowhere also begged, the queen mother did not give up, so she had to sigh: "Okay, let Zhang Hong be the master of ceremonies." ”
Ouch! Zhang Whale's lungs were about to explode, and the celebrant who was about to get his hands on the palm seal throne, the cooked duck flew again!
Zhang Cheng rolled his eyes at him, not to mention how happy he was, this is called schadenfreude.
Empress Dowager Li returned victoriously, leaving Wanli crying and laughing, Zhu Yaoyuan supported her mother, smiled apologetically at her brother, and then turned back to look for the familiar figure.
Qin Lin had already slipped away, why did he want to be the overseer of the East Factory, and he never heard him mention it again.
"Hey, what about General Qin, isn't he going to be the overseer of Dongchang?" Empress Dowager Li laughed again when she thought about it, and Zhu Yaoyuan also laughed along with the eating, thinking that Qin Lin was really absurd and funny.
In the Palace of Raising the Heart, Wanli hurriedly paced and asked several little eunuchs sharply: "Who told the news to the queen mother?" Well? Didn't I make three orders?! ”
"Yes, it's Qin Taibao," the little eunuch knelt down, and his voice was crying: "He, he wants to be the overseer of Dongchang, and he came to beg the Queen Mother, but the mother mentioned the matter of the palm seal of the celebrant herself...... We—we don't dare stop him!" ”
"Useless stuff!" Wanli kicked the little eunuch on the heel, and secretly screamed bad luck in his heart, Qin Lin is too anxious, because the position of the palm seal of the master of ceremonies has not yet been decided, for the sake of overall consideration, I am not in a hurry to promote him and Liu Aiqing to real power, how do you know that this guy will be in a hurry to ask the queen mother?
What's more, it's not good to ask for anything else, and I prefer to ask for a Dongchang overseer!
Qin Lin's request for the overseer of Dongchang has become a famous joke in Beijing for a long time in the future, but this Qin general often does some out-of-the-ordinary things, such as accidentally curing Zhang Juzheng's illness and abducting someone's daughter, etc., and everyone gradually disagrees with it.
Zhang Whale cried with a sad face: "Your Majesty, you have to be the master of the slaves, Qin Lin must have deliberately reminded the Queen Mother, he didn't take Your Majesty in his eyes!" ”
Zhang Cheng immediately sneered: "Where does this start?" If Qin Lin really has a heart, he should ask for the Jinyi Guard, the Governor of Zuodu or something, just ask people to know that the Governor of Dongchang has always only given it to our ministers, obviously he was improvised, and he ran to Cining Palace on a whim! ”
Wanli bowed slightly, feeling that what Zhang Cheng said made sense, Qin Lin had just been with Liu Shou, and he had made great contributions to overthrowing the Feng Party, and I was going to be greatly rewarded soon, why did he risk offending me and tell the Queen Mother? What's more, Zhang Whale was stopped, but Zhang Cheng, who Qin Lin befriended, did not make the palm print of the celebrant supervisor, but cheapened the old Zhang Hong, Qin Lin and Zhang Hong did not have any friendship.
Qin Lin, this guy, has always done some unbelievable things.
Seeing the depressed appearance of his henchman, Wanli thought for a while, and said softly: "Two Zhang companions, I know that you are loyal, but now bear with me for a while, Zhang Hong is very old, and he can't sit in the position of the palm seal of the celebrant for long." Zhang Whale, you will take care of the East Factory, and hand over the Imperial Horse Supervisor to Zhang Cheng. ”
Originally, this should not have been said by the emperor himself, and a slight mention was enough, but Wanli still had to use two sheets to do things, so he said it very explicitly.
Sure enough, Zhang Whale and Zhang Cheng's eyes lit up at the same time, Zhang Hong's grade is too big, how long can the old arms and legs last? The position of the palm seal of the celebrant will let him keep it for our family for the time being!
looked at each other, the eyes of the two father-in-law Zhang rekindled the fighting spirit, even more intense than at the beginning, Zhang Whale was afraid that Zhang Cheng would come from behind, Zhang Cheng was afraid that Zhang Whale would be preconceived, and both of them were gearing up to charge for His Majesty and make new contributions.
Wanli smiled happily, he suddenly realized that it might be a better choice to let Zhang Hong do the palm seal of the celebrant first, and then continue to compete with the second one, why didn't he think of it in front of him?
The dust settled on the position of the palm seal of the celebrant supervisor, and at the same moment, Qin Lin had already slipped out of the Forbidden City, because he knew that in the current situation, the result of Empress Dowager Li's dispatch would only be the one he hoped for.
Back at the mansion, Xu Wenchang greeted him, and his old face smiled like a chrysanthemum: "Qin Taibao, congratulations." ”
"Uh, you found out so soon?" Qin Lin asked casually, from the prince to the prince and the prince, it was just a false title, and it was insignificant.
Xu Wenchang nodded: "I came here just now." ”
Yes?! Qin Lin exclaimed, "He's here?" ”
According to Qin Lin's thoughts, Zeng Xingwu can discuss secretly in Wang Guoguang's mansion, can convene the Jiangling Party cadres, or do other things, he is as bold and ruthless as himself, and as the secretary of the military department, there is quite an unknown power under his hands, and it is very convenient to do some things.
But the last thing Zeng Xingwu should do is to come to himself, because he can't do anything here!
Xu Wenchang smiled bitterly: "It seems that Zeng Xingwu is just suspicious, I'm afraid we can't stop Zhang Siwei." ”
"I'll go find him!" Qin Lin was so anxious that he was sweating, turned around and left, went out and rode on the snow black horse, and ran away with his four hooves, Lu Yuanzhi, Niu Dali and other official school brothers couldn't catch up with him.
Xu Xinyi, who came out happily, jumped into the air, opened a pair of apricot eyes, and stomped his feet: "Hmph, the overseer of the East Factory, you can figure it out, if you really want to do that, what should I do if I call Miss Ben?" It's so stupid! ”
