In the early morning of April, the blue bricks on the wide Chang'an Street remained with morning dew, and the air was also wet, which made people feel refreshed and had the smell of early autumn.

Because there are many yamen in this area, many food stalls have appeared. Although there are no shouts, the business is very good, and many officials choose to buy breakfast here.

Lu Bing asked his subordinates to buy breakfast, and then took a sedan chair to Xiyuan.

While on the road, he seriously considered how the emperor would react to the news and how he would deal with it at that time. His ambition was not great, he just hoped that his life would be safe and stable, without seeking merit but without making mistakes.

When he arrived, the huge palace gate had not opened yet, and the front of the gate seemed very quiet.

There are many rules in the palace, and this palace gate is one of them. Not to mention that he is just the left governor of the Jinyiwei, even the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty, he is not qualified to open this palace gate in advance.

While he was waiting in front of the palace gate, several eunuchs came together with laughter. When they saw him, their voices immediately stopped. He glanced lightly, and then looked at the palace gate again.

These slaves acted as gentle as sheep in front of the saint, but when they came out of the palace, they were all arrogant, like a greedy lion. They did not miss any chance to make money, they had a house outside the palace and also raised women.

.

Just last February, he impeached the eunuch Li Bin from the emperor, but found more than 400,000 taels of silver and countless gold, silver and jewelry from his house.

This is actually not an individual case, but a reflection of the true situation of many eunuchs.

But Huang Jin, the eunuch in charge of the Sili Supervisor, was an old man who came from the royal palace and now he is always serving the emperor. He has no problem hitting the eunuchs properly, but he dare not really chase them, otherwise he would... be afraid

Being bitten back.

Of course, it is more in his interest to hold back like this. Now his Jinyiwei is not only above the East Factory, but these eunuchs have to be afraid of him.

When the clock of Mao rings, the Xiyuan Palace Gate opens.

The guards and eunuchs who opened the door were used to seeing Lu Bing guarding the palace gate. They always saw each other several times a month, but they didn't know what happened to the court.

Lu Bing walked into the palace gate as if he had returned home, and was very familiar with it. Through the palace gates, he walked directly to the Wanshou Palace and waited for the emperor to summon him.

The rising sun was rising, and the golden sunshine fell on him. He stood with the sunshine on his back, and he felt the warmth brought by the sunshine for a while and his body became warm.

Not long after standing for a long time, Huang Jin walked out in person and said in a voice: "Your Majesty is in bed until the third day of the day!"

"Thank you!" Lu Bing responded with a voice, and then followed him up the steps.

This is indeed a kind reminder. If the Emperor's Qingmeng is disturbed, his temper will inevitably become irritable. Therefore, if you can't get involved, you must never get involved in things, so as not to attract the Emperor's arousal.

He slowly walked into the bedroom. When he was inside, the temperature in the hall suddenly dropped a lot, but the air was filled with sandalwood, which made people refreshed.

When I came to the thick veil, I couldn't see the situation inside.

After performing the ceremony of the king and his subjects, Lu Bing reported the news that Altan gathered at the border, and handed over the compiled information to Huang Jin along with the book "Talking about the Ancient and the Current".

A sigh came from inside, and then the voice of the Lord came: "I understand."

"Please take your leave!" Lu Bing knew that the emperor was still sleeping, so he tactfully bowed.

A slight "Yeah" came from inside. He was cautious and did not leave immediately. After silence in his heart, he stepped back lightly.

The most important work today has undoubtedly been completed, and he plans to go home and rest for a short time.

When he walked to the corner, he turned his head and looked at the gate of Wanshou Palace. He happened to see Huang Jin walking down the steps and heading towards Wuyi Palace. The emperor probably wanted to summon Master Yan.

Among the four cabinet ministers, Ge Lao Yan was undoubtedly the most favored by the emperor. Only Yan Song was allowed to spend the night in the palace. And the old man Yan Song did have the capital, not only loyal to the emperor, but also handled government affairs.

A good hand.

In the court, although many Qingliu hated Yan Song to the core, it is common for officials to impeach Yan Song. However, many people may not be able to do better than Yan Song when they take the position of the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty.

Although he had a hatred for Yan Song, he had never thought of putting Yan Song to death. He felt that Yan Song was the most suitable choice for the prime minister and was more suitable than his teacher Li Mo.

After Lu Bing left, Jiajing sniffed on the bed for a while. Although he was very tired, he did not indulge himself. When he heard Yan Song being on the side outside the palace gate, he directly announced that he came in.

Jiajing got up from the bed, and the eunuchs and palace maids were already waiting. He immediately helped him put on the blue Taoist robe and served him to wash it.

"Old minister Yan Song pays homage to Your Majesty, I wish my emperor a long life!" A figure appeared outside Miaoman, and then an old but loud voice came.

"Get up! Give a seat to Mr. Yan!" Jiajing took the hot towel delivered by Huang Jin, and his voice was a little warm.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yan Song saluted respectfully, and then sat down on a chair with a little eunuch.

Yan Hao is over seventy years old this year, and the silver hair on his head is also scattered with the sun. His face is full of old people and his face is full of spots, but his eyes are still clear and there is a light in his eyes.

A month ago, he was seriously ill and tortured him to a great extent. However, the sky did not take him away, and now his body has recovered, which makes him secretly feel lucky.

After sitting down in the chair, he nodded kindly at the little eunuch Feng Bao who helped him to show his gratitude.

"Have your cabinet decided to choose the Minister of War?" Jiajing wiped his face with a hot towel and walked towards the long case in front of the bed and asked.

After the Yang Shun case, Xu Lun, the former Minister of War, was involved and demoted to the people, so the position of Minister of War was vacant.

Yan Song knew that Lu Bing had just arrived, and combined with the current emperor's question, it was not difficult to infer the emperor's true intention. After a little contemplation, he bowed and said loudly: "No! But now the border affairs are unstable, the old minister recommends the former Minister of War.

Yang Bo, this person is resourceful and very familiar with the border, and will definitely be able to stabilize the overall situation for Your Majesty!”

"He is now in the filial piety period, and the position of Minister of War must not be vacant for too long!" Jiajing handed the towel to Huang Jin, and sat down cross-legged in front of the case in disappointment.

"As a minister, we should put national affairs first, and his family is in Shanxi and can reach the capital in less than a few days!" Yan Song was full of confidence and bowed to the inside.

"Great kindness!" Jiajing responded happily immediately, and it was indeed Yan Song who knew his intentions best.

Picking up the information sent by Lu Bing, I found a book below, but I don’t know if it was Lu Bing who brought it with me or if he had suffered from insomnia before to pass the time. Many ministers actually didn’t know that he had a little preference for reading books, and was in the royal palace.
