Wang Fulin did not answer the matter of Zhang Ning asking for help, because he was hesitating. It was easy for Zhang Juzheng to be honest. But originally, he just came to welcome Mrs. Zhao privately under the order of Zhang Juzheng, and then went to Beijing together without caring about others. Anyway, there were too many lice and it was not tickles. Such a thing that people were afraid of is nothing to him. However, now he is the same as Zhang Ning, and he must deal with the inquiries of Emperor Wanli Zhu Yijun after returning to Beijing.

Although the Wanli Emperor had just taken power, it seemed that Zhang Juzheng was monopolizing the power, but this was because of the inertia of power control. In principle, as long as the cabinet Zhang Juzheng, the rank of the literati Feng Bao, and the palace Empress Dowager Li still exists, Emperor Wanli will be suppressed by the triple suppression, and the so-called rule is just a decoration. However, even if Zhu Yijun does not have the courage to face and resist Yang Tinghe in the first place, he seems to have no other connections besides the loyal eunuch like Zhang Hong, but not necessarily no one will choose to stand on the side of the emperor.

You know, the glorious deeds of Zhang Cong and Gui E are there. Lu Bing's power in the early years of Jiajing was only a few decades later. Anyone who planned to follow?

Moreover, he is still worried about the fact that Liu Shouyou sent someone to mix sand at home, and he is even more curious about the people behind Liu Shouyou!

So, how to report to Zhu Yijun about Mrs. Zhao’s experience on the way is a question.

Xinle, Dingzhou, Qingdu, Qingyuan. It took four days for the group to go from Zhending Mansion adjacent to each other to Baoding Mansion. When they arrived at Qingyuan County, where Baoding Mansion was located, Wang Fulin finally made a decision. He found Zhang Ning privately and whispered for a while. He explained the serious matter of how to hand over the work, and then he smiled and mentioned the alias that Zhang Ning had entrusted before.

"Eunuch Feng is called Shuanglin, and Eunuch Zhang is called Rongzhai. Both of these nicknames are quite elegant, but now you are just following the class and competing for elegance with the ones with the most experienced ones. That's really meaningless. I think it's better to be more vulgar. At least when people hear this nickname, they will suddenly realize that it's that person, instead of racking their brains to recall which Eunuch Zhang is here, I can't remember it."

Seeing Zhang Ning nodding repeatedly, he smiled and said, "So I thought about it and took two nicknames for spare. If you listen to them, don't scold me. Just call me Guotai. It's very simple. Isn't it safe? Guotai and the people in the palace. This nickname is very auspicious, but of course, it's too vulgar. You will inevitably be scolded behind your back and forth. "

To Wang Fulin's surprise, Zhang Ning was really thinking about it seriously. He couldn't help but feel ashamed that he actually wanted to call Ping'an, but he thought that there were not many of the eunuchs who called this name, and several of them were very famous, so he simply gave up the plan. He coughed dryly and continued, "As for another alias, I suggest you take it from the experience of Hangzhou Beixin Customs Supervision. During the Southern Song Dynasty, Hangzhou was named Lin'an, which is quite similar to your Ning character,"

"Caotai and Lin'an... are indeed quite simple, and they meet the level of giving me a different name, so that people will not make people say that I asked someone else to give me a nickname." Zhang Ning didn't mean anything to dislike him. Instead, he smiled and said, "In this way, I will pick one and ask me to say that the previous one is too meaningful, but Lin'an is really good. It not only matches my previous experience, but also reflects my name. By the way, have you got your nickname? Report it to listen."

Wang Fulin had just breathed a sigh of relief because he solved a task. When he saw Zhang Ning ask this, he immediately looked stunned and said embarrassedly for a long time: "Forget it, I'm only in my early twenties now, so I'll talk about it in the future."

Actually, I can't get up! I'm too boasted and dare not take it out, and I'm too humble and feel that I don't have the momentum. He thought that when he was old in seclusion in Songming Mountain in the future, he called himself the old man Fengle. I don't know if the elder wise men of Xixinan Village and Songming Mountain Village on both sides of the Fengle River would strangle him to death...

Speaking of which, he finally named his son Amao, who was left in Huizhou and brought to his parents, but he was uncreatively using the characteristics of Wang Daokun's name, using a wordless in the middle. Although he had planned to name Wuhen, Xiaobei commented that he looked like the protagonist of the second-rate legend. He thought of his name Wuyong, and was said to be like the homonym of Wuyong... At least he was very accurate because he was useless! In the end, he was upset and picked up his pen and wrote two words on the paper.

Wang No!

Whether it is good or not, you can do it! If you think it is not good, get up by yourself!

As a result, this name that seemed very bad to him was completely passed by his parents and Xiaobei.

Zhang Ning didn't know that Wang Fulin was actually a hard-working man to narrate. Since his nickname was solved, he let go of a big thing. On the road ahead, he sometimes went around in front of Mrs. Zhao, and sometimes he got close to Wei Chao. Wei Chao was forty years old. He was a subordinate of Feng Bao. He was eunuch of the military affairs bureau and eunuch of the Silijian for only two years, but one year he was doing foreign affairs outside and revolved around Zhang Juzheng's family, but he had no complaints at all. Zhang Ning was obviously just a polite person in charge of the Silijian and had just returned to Beijing, but he was still polite to him. If someone who didn't know, it would be hard to imagine that he was one of Feng Bao's capable confidants.

Everyone stopped and arrived in the capital on September 15th. The lineup for the suburbs was decided before Wang Fulin and Zhang Ning left the capital, including Li You, eunuch of Sili, Zhang Zhongju, eunuch of Ciqing Palace, and Li Yong, eunuch of Cining Palace. Of course, Zhang Juzheng, who was the son, also came in person. However, this time, it was different from the last time that civil and military officials went to greet Zhang Juzheng on a large scale, and the scene was much smaller.

However, the reception in the palace was still quite high. If Mrs. Zhao had not been exhausted all the way and had arrived, Empress Dowager Li would even invite the person to the palace to meet him in person. Even so, the three eunuchs still accompanied him and sent Mrs. Zhao to the Grand Secretary's Mansion of Dashamao Hutong to settle down. Then they returned to the palace to report their orders and took the same route, including Wei Chao, Wang Fulin and Zhang Ning, and Zhang Juzheng who entered the palace to thank him.

After entering the Meridian Gate, Zhang Zhongju and Li Yong returned to Ciqing Palace and Cining Palace respectively. As for the remaining Li You, Wang Fulin, Zhang Ning, and Zhang Juzheng, they were going to see Zhu Yijun.

Zhu Yijun has always received foreign officials, and whether they were in Wenhua Hall, whether they were in the imperial court or in the court discussion. However, today, the eunuch of the Sili Prison, Li You, said that it was related to the personal affairs of the chief minister. It was inappropriate to reply in Wenhua Hall. In addition to a few other people, he actually took Wang Fulin, the foreign minister, to Qianqing Palace for the first time. This was a very new first time for Wang Fulin who had been to the palace city several times, but only to the Six Casualty Gate, the Cabinet, the East Pavilion, and the Wenhua Hall.

Zhang Ning is a eunuch. As long as he does not run around in the harem, he can naturally enter a place like the Ganqing Palace. However, at this moment, compared to Wang Fulin, Zhang Ning seems to be more nervous. The reason is very simple. There are at least three or five thousand eunuchs in the imperial city inside and outside. Although he has joined the Sili Supervisor, he is just a classmate and has never been a close attendant of the Ganqing Palace before. He has been to Ciqing Palace and Cining Palace twice, but this is the first time he has arrived at the Ganqing Palace!

As a person who visited the Forbidden City in later generations, Wang Fulin has a master now, and not a commoner in later generations can also set foot in the Forbidden City. He has to sigh that it is completely different from the owner and the lack of a master in a house. Now there are two empress dowagers, one emperor, and many concubines living in this palace city, which is really different from the tourist attractions in later generations.

When he visited the Forbidden City, he saw a large area of ​​uneven road surface. The palace was still good from a distance, but it was more than mottled from close up. It was simply gray. Only when he came out of the back door of the Forbidden City and went to the highest point of Jingshan Park can he see a hint of majesty, which was completely disappointed. But at present, the glazed tiles on the palace were shining dazzlingly under the afterglow of the sunset. The carved beams and painted roads and various paintings were all clear and gorgeous. The eunuchs walked neatly, with small steps and well-trained. Before they arrived at the Ganqing Palace, a long-accumulated aura came towards him, reminding him that this was not a scenic spot, but the supreme residence that governed thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.

In addition to the court meetings of 369, Wang Fulin met Zhu Yijun several times in Wenhua Hall, but at that time it was only relatively close. However, because his position has always been lower than the big guys, he could certainly stand up when he was quarreling with others, but he was not too late to pay attention to his opponents, so where could he have the time to see the emperor? Therefore, when he stepped into the main hall of the Ganqing Palace and saw that the emperor's Sumeru throne was really not far from him, Zhu Yijun's face was facing the hall, and with the help of the dim light at this moment, he still glanced twice more and then went forward to pay homage.

Since it is said that it is for the sake of Zhang Juzheng's family's private affairs, it is not suitable to be in Wenhua Palace, but to be placed in this Ganqing Palace for summoning, then is it appropriate to ask questions and reply in this Ganqing Palace's main hall?

Zhu Yijun didn't know that Wang Fulin was thinking about this problem in his mind. He sat there upright, just like the usual imperial etiquette education, majestic but rigid. When Zhang Juzheng got up first, Wang Fulin and Zhang Ning stood up later, he looked at them for a moment, but first looked at Zhang Juzheng, Wei Chao and Li You.

After Zhang Juzheng thanked him, Wei Chao and Li You made a formal report to the report, he slowly spoke: "Madam Zhang has arrived in the capital for more than two months. Because he is old, although Wei Chao, the chief minister of the Ministry of Rites, both old ladies have been a little worried. I have just asked someone to come to welcome him. I was waiting to invite the Madam to come to the palace, but I heard that Madam was exhausted, so I asked him to rest for a few days before entering the palace. Mr. Zhang also asked to take a day off today and go home to reunite with Madam."

Zhang Juzheng agreed with a solemn expression. When he left, he didn't even glance at Wang Fulin much.

As soon as he left, Zhu Yijun continued: "Wei Dynasty worked hard this time, and rewarded ten taels of silver star anise bean leaves and a piece of silk clothes. I will give it ten days to leave and then go back to the Sili Supervisor's office."

For the Wei Dynasty, the reward of ten taels of silver was still the exquisite thing used in the play, which was really a little bit, but the important thing was that he was not in the capital for a year and he still favored him. This was the key to his foothold in the Sili Supervisory Bureau. Therefore, he quickly thanked him with a smile on his face.

The eunuch of the Silijian, Li You, followed the emperor's tone and said something thanked to the Zhang family's grandchildren. After the emperor nodded, he praised Li You for a few more words, but he did not reward anything. Hearing this different treatment, Wei Chao naturally felt much more comfortable. After all, he had only worked hard for more than a year and had only received ten taels of silver and a piece of clothing. If Li You just gave him a reward just after going out of the city to welcome him, it would be unfair. When Zhu Yijun ordered them to return to the Silijian to see Feng Bao, he kowtowed and quit. Before going out, he couldn't help but secretly glance at Wang Fulin and Zhang Ning who were left behind, but he was not too worried.

Zhang Ning was promoted by Feng Bao, while Wang Fulin was promoted by Zhang Juzheng. He would never say anything wrong in front of the little emperor!

For Zhang Ning, the Ganqing Palace is a completely unfamiliar place. He has been out for a long time and does not know anyone who serves here at all. For Wang Fulin, although he does not know anyone here, he knows an extra message than Zhang Ning, whether Zhang Jing or Zhang Cheng, he has now withdrawn from the core lineup around the little emperor. The Ganqing Palace has suffered two major purges. Now these are all newcomers selected by Zhu Yijun. However, the newcomer does not mean that he will not be mixed with sand. He is very suspicious of the safety of speaking here.

As soon as Li You and Wei Chao left, Zhu Yijun did not continue to stay in the main hall, but stood up and ordered Zhang Ning and Wang Fulin to follow him to talk to the Dongguan Pavilion.

It is not yet October, and the weather is not too cold. A charcoal basin has been burned in the house, which looks warmer than the main hall. After sitting on an arhat bed, Zhu Yijun said, "You two have traveled from Zhending to Kyoto and stayed in the same way. How do you welcome and see off the officials of the prefectures and counties?"

This is a question that Zhang Ning had discussed with Wang Fulin before and confirmed that Zhu Yijun would definitely ask. At this moment, Zhang Ning said first: "Report to the emperor, it is the time when the Grandma is at the 9th day of the Double Ninth Festival. Zhending Mansion has sent Grandma mung bean porridge, some clear bean congee and side dishes, as well as Chongyang cake and chrysanthemum wine. On the way from then on, most of the prefectures and counties were hospitalized with great care and all the local specialties..."

Because of the reminder from Zhang Ning to Qian Pu in Zhending Time, Wang Fulin became more careful and deliberately let someone secretly reveal the words that Mrs. Zhao was very satisfied with the reception when she was in Zhending Mansion. Now, in Qingyuan, Liangxiang, and Qingdu, all the county magistrates followed suit, and how they all came to Mrs. Zhao, and how they were so light that they gave it to Mrs. Zhao, which made the taste of the old lady who was originally tired of sweet and fat, and she became tired of light. But in this way, Zhang Ning's detailed report now seemed reasonable and well-founded, and even the frowning look of Mrs. Zhao was described vividly.

Wang Fulin saw Zhu Yijun's brows slightly frowning. Rather than saying that he was interested, he was a little unbelievable. After Zhang Ning reported it, he smiled and said, "This time I went to Zhending Mansion, and I and Eunuch Zhang met Qian Pu, the prefect of Zhending."

Sure enough, Zhu Yijun immediately asked: "Qian Pu? Is Qian Pu who carefully created a sedan chair to give to Mr. Yuan Fu and Zhang when Mr. Yuan Fu and Zhang went south to Jiangling to bury his father?"

Wang Fulin immediately felt sneer in his heart. It seems that it is impossible to completely suppress people’s words, no matter whether it is Zhang Juzheng or Feng Bao! No matter how the news is blocked, there will always be raving people blowing in front of the emperor!
