"I am Xiong Wencan. I wonder what you are doing from the capital?" Xiong Wencan only remembered that he was a little out of control. Although these people are from the East Factory in the capital, he is also a governor of Fujian and in charge of affairs between Fujian and Guangdong. He is also a second-rank official. Even if these Dongchang players are usually powerful, they are still soldiers. Are you afraid that they will not succeed if you are such a big official? Even if you feel guilty, you can't lose face in front of your subordinates. Although Xiong Wencan thinks so, he has already lost the lead. Dongchang players are riding on high horses, while Xiong Wencan walks and has to raise his head when talking to them. It seems that these Dongchang people have no intention of getting off the horse. For a moment, Xiong Wencan said tough words, but his actions are soft, and the scene is a bit funny.

"Haha, Lord Xiong, please relax, don't get me wrong." When Wang Chengen, who was speaking in a bad tone, said in the crowd. Xiong Wencan was shocked. This voice was so spy, and it was clearly the voice of a young eunuch. The eunuchs were in power since the establishment of the East Factory. It is not surprising that a team of eunuchs appeared in the Mali of the East Factory, but it was the way this person spoke. Judging from the tone, this person was calm and did not have the intention of stage fright against local officials. In addition, Xiong Wencan faintly suppressed Xiong Wencan in officialdom for a long time. Of course, he was also a talented person. Those who could speak in this tone could only show one thing. The other party was definitely not an ordinary person. Xiong Wencan gritted his teeth and said straight to the point: "I wonder what this father-in-law has to do? Can you come out to meet?"

Hula, the horse team separated, and Wang Chengen rode his horse to Xiong Wencan. Logically speaking, Wang Chengen was just a eunuch in charge of the seal. The eunuch had the highest quality, which was the fifth rank, and he could not be better than a local official like Xiong Wencan. If the eunuch party was of course superior to those of Xiong Wencan in the era of Wei Zhongxian, even the chief minister was willing to be Wei Zhongxian's godson. However, during the Chongzhen period, the power of eunuchs was no longer as powerful as before. Chongzhen also ordered these eunuchs to abide by the rules outside. If Wang Chengen was in normal times, he should have dismounted to meet Xiong Wencan, but Wang Chengen had an imperial edict on his body, then he represented the saint. Where did the saint give salute to officials? Although Xiong Wencan didn't know that Wang Chengen was here to pass the imperial edict this time, Wang Chengen could not dismount rashly, but this behavior seemed somewhat arrogant and domineering to outsiders.

When Xiong Wencan saw Wang Chengen, he immediately felt familiar, but he didn't remember who this person was. But one thing is certain, he had met this eunuch. Xiong Wencan was not wrong. Of course they had met Xiong Wencan in Fujian for more than ten years, and he had not been to the capital to report his duties. The first year when Xiong Wencan took office was the year when Tianqi died, and then Chongzhen came to the throne. So Xiong Wencan naturally saw Emperor Chongzhen. Wang Chengen was Chongzhen's confidant and was also a close servant. Of course, Xiong Wencan had a few encounters with Wang Chengen, but the two of them had never talked and had no deep impression. Second, Wang Chengen was wearing casual clothes today. If he was wearing the costumes of Silijian, he might be able to remember them. "Governor, don't be fine." Wang Chengen bowed immediately.

As soon as Wang Cheng'en said this, Xiong Wencan was even more shocked. He said this. The two must have known each other. Xiong Wencan tried hard to think about his identity. Wang Cheng'en took off his hat. Xiong Wencan stared at his face and suddenly remembered who he was, "Old Prince Wang Cheng'en? This, this is the official." Xiong Wencan shivered and was about to kneel down. Who is Wang Cheng'en? He is a close minister of the emperor. If it weren't for the current emperor's dislike of eunuchs, Wang Cheng'en would probably be the second factory man after Wei Zhongxian. Such a powerful person actually came to Fujian to find him in person. It can almost be concluded that Wang Cheng'en would not leave the palace in normal times, and once he left the palace, he would have followed the emperor's will.

There is only one possibility, that was sent by Chongzhen, so Wang Chengen is very likely to represent the emperor. Thinking of this, Xiong Wencan's knees were even sore and he was about to kneel down. Wang Chengen immediately said: "Mr. Xiong, act in a low-key manner, why not let's go to the governor's yamen to discuss in detail?" As soon as Wang Chengen spoke, Xiong Wencan was shocked and immediately realized that this matter was unusual and could not be exposed outside. If Wang Chengen really brought any emperor's will, he would be even more careful. "What my father-in-law said is, please follow the officials to ride in the sedan chair with him." Xiong Wencan figured out the joints and even changed his tone. He called himself a subordinate in front of Wang Chengen, but in fact he saw more of the emperor's face.

The two men gathered together and entered the city together. Xiong Wencan and Wang Chengen sat in the same sedan chair. Xiong Wencan seemed a little at a loss, but he could not speak first, so he could only wait for Wang Chengen to say first. Wang Chengen calmly said: "Governor, don't panic. Our family came here this time to obey the will of the emperor. It is considered to be a substitute for the emperor to visit privately to see how the military and political affairs are in various places." Wang Chengen lied. Of course, he could not reveal his true purpose now. He should slowly test it and see Xiong Wencan's sincerity. Wang Chengen has been in the deep palace for a long time and has been Chongzhen.

He served by his side, Youdao was the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister, let alone Wang Chengen. He had a strong comprehension ability, so Chongzhen gave him the job and was relieved to worry. When he heard that Wang Chengen was like this, Xiong Wencan's heart fell into his stomach. Isn't this just a patrol on behalf of the emperor? It's understandable. In the past, this kind of thing was not gone. It was not uncommon for the emperor to assign an official or a confidant to inspect the world on his behalf when the emperor was busy. As the emperor, it was not strange that Wang Chengen came to Fujian instead of Chongzhen.

"So that's it, so that's it. The subordinates are in absent. In order to express their apology, they will hold a banquet in the governor's yamen to entertain the king and the emperor." Xiong Wencan returned to normal and thought, since you, Wang Chengen, are you here to inspect, to put it bluntly, just serve you well? These eunuchs are not greedy for money. Let's just ask everyone to do the scene work. Is it necessary to do a mysterious and mysterious thing? Wang Chengen nodded and said, "Okay, I'll just follow the arrangements of the governor." He had another idea in his heart. The emperor asked himself to investigate Xiong Wencan. When is the most convenient time to investigate? Of course, it's time to drink for three meals and five flavors. Xiong Wencan is the most relaxed. At this time, people often have loopholes in their words and can hear his true thoughts.

"Come on behalf of the governor's yamen, I respect my father-in-law." Although Wang Chengen told Xiong Wencan to act low-key, if Xiong Wencan really doesn't call anyone, it would not reflect his attention to Wang Chengen, and it was even more rude. So at the welcome dinner, Xiong Wencan asked Wu Ren to carefully draft a list of attendees. Forget the low-level officials, he called all the civil and military officials above the fifth rank in Fuzhou City. It was not too many, and there were more than a dozen people, so he could support it.

The scene also reflects Xiong Wencan's way of hospitality. In the afternoon, Wang Chengen had already communicated with Xiong Wencan in the study, but Xiong Wencan thought that Wang Chengen was here to inspect, so he was basically reporting on the military and political situations of Fujian and Guangdong. However, Xiong Wencan also noticed that Wang Chengen was not interested in these reports and listened perfunctorily, which made him even more convinced that Wang Chengen was here to go through the motions, and as long as he served him in place, nothing would happen.

The atmosphere at the beginning of the dinner was very warm. Since Wang Chengen was not concerned about official business, then drink well and talk about the romantic and romantic. In the wing room behind, Xiong Wencan had already prepared a small box with a dozen tickets inside. I believe Wang Chengen would be satisfied. Hearing Xiong Wencan toast, Wang Chengen immediately stood up and said, "Thank you, Governor and everyone, our family is also in business this time, so you can't drink too much or too much." Xiong Wencan only said that Wang Chengen was humble, "My father-in-law was joking, and he saw that his father-in-law was young and promising, and the emperor was close to him. He would definitely not be able to do anything in the future.

The winner, no, is now an amazing person." Seeing Xiong Wencan flatteringly, Wang Chengen changed the subject and said, "Haha, our family is not a great person. The most amazing person in our Ming Dynasty is the emperor." Xiong Wencan immediately continued, "That's that, long live my emperor." Seeing Xiong Wencan say this, everyone also knelt down on the mountain and shouted, "Long live my emperor." Wang Chengen nodded with satisfaction. He came on behalf of the emperor, so of course the first glass of wine should be congratulated first.

Then, everyone started to eat and drink. After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Xiong Wencan was about to order someone to send a brocade box. Wang Chengen said, "Mr. Xiong, there is something here, it is not our business, but the Lord asked our family to ask Mr. Xiong." Everyone immediately calmed down. Although Xiong Wencan was deeply drunk, he still cheered up and said, "Please tell me about the situation in the northwest." Wang Chengen said, "The Lord wants to hear Mr. Xiong's view on the situation in the northwest. I don't know what unique insights Mr. Xiong has?" I don't know if Xiong Wencan was drunk or what, Xiong Wencan was a little excited when he heard this.
