Chapter 25
Because Zhang Yanling performed properly in front of the emperor, Empress Zhang was very happy.
Later, she did not mention asking Zhang Yanling to marry Princess Deqing. Before Zhang Yanling left, she wanted to give Zhang Yanling some things, but it was not the palace porcelain, antiques and so on that Zhang Yanling wanted.
Zhang Yanling was only thinking about the plan to make money outside the palace and hurriedly got up and said goodbye.
Just as I was traveling to Jiaotai Hall with Xiao Anzi, I saw Xiao Jing and wait there, as if Zhu Youzang asked him to come.
"Uncle, Your Majesty has ordered me to send you out of the palace." Xiao Jingdaoming's purpose was.
Zhang Yanling thought that Zhu Youzhang had seen him and took the exam before, and then he specially sent Xiao Jing to send him out of the palace. If there was anything that could not be said in front of him, he needed to let Xiao Jing give him some advice secretly?
Zhang Yanling smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Eunuch Xiao."
The two walked out of the palace together, and had not yet arrived at Chonglou when they left the Ganqing Gate. They saw a group of people gathering there from afar. When a Taoist robe was holding a wooden sword in his hand, he was doing something like a great god. There was a little eunuch next to him handing him props.
When Xiao Jing saw this scene, he seemed to have seen the plague god.
"Who is that?" Zhang Yanling asked, but he roughly guessed in his heart that this was Li Guang, who was currently more traitorous than his Zhang brothers in the Ming Dynasty.
Xiao Jing sighed with emotion: "Of course it was the Taoist Priest Li. After the second prince passed away, His Majesty and the Queen were in a state of uneasy. Every day on the fasting day, he would ask Master Li to pray here. In addition to hoping that the second prince could ascend to the Pure Land soon, His Majesty also hoped that the Queen would have a dragon heir soon..."
Zhang Yanling knows it.
Because the younger son died, my sister and brother-in-law were heartbroken, so they asked Li Guang to do the trick in the palace to seek peace of mind and also wanted to have another child.
The idea is good, but the problem is that after Empress Zhang gave birth to two of hers in the beginning and end of the seventh year of Hongzhi, her belly was no longer moving. Zhang Yanling was familiar with history and knew that from then on, the couple had no children.
This is very mysterious. Either the sister has something wrong with her two children in a year, or the brother-in-law is not healthy, she is a sick person, and she also eats some heavy metal toxic pills for immortality...
In this state, you still want to have another son. Do you really think you are a strong man?
"Does Your Majesty usually take pills?" Zhang Yanling continued to walk out of the palace with Xiao Jing, and said in a chatting tone.
Xiao Jing undoubtedly explained it: "It's not taken often."
Zhang Yanling knew that this brother-in-law was still trying to make trouble for himself. He was just because he was young and grew up hiding in the palace and eating hundreds of families. Before becoming emperor, he lived in fear for a long time, so it would be strange if he could be healthy.
No wonder you are not ridiculous, it’s not because of anything else, it’s because of you.
If you want to have more sons and let Queen Zhang take care of her body, it may not be of much significance. Zhu Youting should be given to her. It is best to prepare a "Dali Pill" for Zhu Youting.
But the usefulness of that thing may be worse than the traditional methods of drinking deer blood. Zhang Yanling, who is familiar with the history of medicine, naturally knew that before a certain blue pill appeared, the problem of men's lack of vigor was a global problem. No matter how many traditional Chinese medicine theories are, they were talking about what to add tonic.
Is it time to repair your grandma's legs?
I must give this brother-in-law a thorough transformation so that the Mingzong Society will not be sent to the side branches in the future, nor will I let myself live in prison and wait for the beheading when I am old?
...
...
Zhang Yanling and Xiao Jing continued to walk towards Donghuamen.
Xiao Jing turned around several times and wanted to say anything to Zhang Yanling, but he seemed to be reluctant to speak.
"Eunuch Xiao, we are all acquaintances. It is better if you have something to say. Will Your Majesty have something to tell me privately?" Zhang Yanling is a discerning person, so how could he not see these things?
Xiao Jing looked over with a little surprise: "You are indeed keen and keen. This is true. Your Majesty did have instructions before he ordered me to come, saying that there was something in the Ministry of Revenue that the country would secretly help me."
Zhang Yanling said: "Oh? Please tell me clearly with Eunuch Xiao."
Xiao Jing said earnestly: "Your Majesty asked the East Factory to investigate. The problems in the Ministry of Revenue... are very big. The Ministry of Revenue's treasury has been full in recent years, but it is a group of demons dancing around, forming cliques and making private interests and betraying the law. However, because of the mixed forces, it will affect the whole body."
"Now Your Majesty has made a decision in his heart that the Minister of Personnel Zhou of the Ministry of Revenue is the Minister of Revenue, but he is afraid that he will be weak after taking office and will not be able to deal with the monsters and monsters of the Ministry of Revenue."
As Zhang Yanling thought, the Ministry of Revenue has a very big problem, and it is not something that Ye Qi can solve the problem if she continues to do it.
"Oh, Your Majesty doesn't want me to help the new Ministry of Revenue and to purify the Ministry of Revenue? But I am just a military position and a relative who is incompetent in the eyes of others, so I'm afraid I can't help."
Zhang Yanling said this, but he vaguely felt that since Zhu Youzhang intended to ask him to secretly help Zhou Jing, he should have paved the way in advance.
Xiao Jing said: "Uncle Guo, you are too modest. If you weren't here, Your Majesty wouldn't have discovered such a big problem with the Ministry of Revenue. Even Your Majesty has been kept in the dark. Since you discovered it, of course, you must take action in the face of purging."
"Your Majesty's intention is that Mr. Zhou is humble and there should be no problem in taking charge of the ministry. But it is precisely because of his humility that he may not be able to be quick and neat in suppressing monsters and monsters with thunder. He insists that someone helps behind his back. Whoever dares to face him will be punished by the imperial prison. If he doesn't work at a time, he will come a few times, which will be enough to suppress those demons."
Zhang Yanling couldn't help but frown.
According to Zhu Youzang's meaning, he wanted Zhou Jing to be the Minister of Revenue as a good person, appease the Ministry of Revenue and the people in the world, and hand over a series of bad things such as arrest, arrest, torture, and seizure to him Zhang Yanling?!
This is going to cheat my brother-in-law!
"Eunuch Xiao, after hearing what you said, I think it's most appropriate to hand over this job to Dongchang." Zhang Yanling naturally wouldn't be so stupid that he took everything to himself.
Just getting rich, there is no need to make things so big. In the future, I still want to call the wind and rain in the court. It is not a wise move to offend the so-called clear stream in the court first.
Xiao Jing smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle Guo, don't let me go, let you help Secretary Zhou behind your back. Your Majesty also has instructions. If you have any places to drive in the future, just tell me the East Factory. I will always wait for your order."
The muscles on Zhang Yanling's face twitched for a moment, and he was still thinking about the gains and losses behind this matter.
Xiao Jing reminded again: "You cannot tell outsiders about this matter casually. Even the chief eunuch Li, the chief eunuch Li, did not know the matter, and would not tell the ministers in the court. This matter... we know about it at present."
Zhang Yanling sighed heavily and said, "Eunuch Xiao, I probably understand what you mean, but why can't I understand Your Majesty's move?"
"This... what else do you don't understand? I can explain your doubts to you." Xiao Jing saw that he was a good man. He was not very good at this kind of bad thing that secretly made people trap and stumbling.
In other words, Zhang Yanling will have to work alone to a large extent in the future.
Zhang Yanling said: "I asked Zhou Shangshu to do all this good thing, and I asked me to do bad things. Even if the things are done, I will be scolded in the court in the future. How can I do it?"
Xiao Jing originally thought that Zhang Yanling had no idea about the way of doing things, but after hearing this, he realized that Zhang Yanling was just complaining that this job was thankless.
"You are the uncle, and you are just doing things for Your Majesty and the court. How can you care about gains and losses? I will also bring your Majesty's words to you. The Donghua Gate is ahead. You can leave the palace by yourself. I will go back first."
Xiao Jing seemed to be afraid that Zhang Yanling would regret it, so he brought the words to Donghua Gate and quickly found an opportunity to escape.
Zhang Yanling stood there, watching Xiao Jing jogging all the way as he left, and was also thinking in his heart.
Who said this old guy is a good old man?
