Smuggling Daming

"Eunuch Gu? Dayong Gu?" Hearing the servant's report, Li Dongyang also stood up in surprise, and then looked at Wang Lun, who was equally shocked, with deep doubts in his eyes.Among the eight tigers, Liu Jin is the most powerful, while Zhang Yong is in charge of the imperial palace's imperial army, but Gu Dayong is the person who has been taking care of Emperor Zhengde's daily life, and is usually the most trusted by His Majesty the Emperor. Seeing Wang Lun, this matter seems strange no matter how you look at it.

"Li Gong, why do you think Gu Dayong came to see me?" Wang Lun couldn't help but asked, although he was not in the court these few years, he also knew Gu Dayong's power among the eight tigers.

Li Dongyang pondered for a moment and said: "I can't guess this, but I think it is probably related to Zhou Zhong, and Gu Dayong's coming this time is also very likely to be ordered by His Majesty. Let's go see him now." You'll know it when you see him!"

Wang Lun nodded when he heard this, and immediately came to the front hall with Li Dongyang, but as soon as he entered the hall, he saw a middle-aged eunuch who was sitting there drinking tea in the hall and immediately stood up, with a fat face. With a bright smile on his face, he first saluted Li Dongyang, and then greeted Wang Lun enthusiastically: "I think this is Wang Da, and the Sa family is very polite!"

Seeing Gu Dayong taking the initiative to salute himself and calling himself "Master", Wang Lun was stunned again, but he quickly reacted, and immediately returned the salute: "Eunuch Gu, you are too polite, Mr. Wang has already been dismissed from office. I was imprisoned for a crime before, so I really can't deserve the title of 'adult'!"

As soon as Wang Lun's words fell, Gu Dayong suddenly laughed loudly and said: "Master Wang is wrong. There are actually two things in this Sajia's visit. The first thing is that His Majesty discovered that Mr. Wang has a noble character and has decided to The Ministry of Officials has already begun preparations to activate Lord Wang again, and I believe that Lord Wang will be able to return to his original post soon."

When he said this, Gu Dayong paused, glanced at the shocked expressions of Wang Lun and Li Dongyang, and then smiled: "The second thing is actually more important, that is, Your Majesty wants to see Lord Wang. Therefore, I specially ordered my servants to come and invite you to enter the palace, do you think you are free now, how about we enter the palace together now?"

Hearing Gu Dayong tell these two things in a calm manner, not only Wang Lun was shocked and inexplicable, but even Li Dongyang was also puzzled, as a cabinet scholar.There is almost nothing that can be hidden from him inside and outside the court, but now he has not received any news about Wang Lun in advance. Could it be His Majesty's whim again?

But then Li Dongyang thought that Wang Lun was not only freed from prison, but also got a blessing in disguise, and even returned to his post.If all of this is really because of Zhou Zhong's relationship, it means that Zhou Zhong is more important to His Majesty's heart than he imagined before.It seems that I need to pay more attention to Zhou Zhong.

Although Wang Lun was shocked, he had been an official for many years after all, so he quickly came to his senses, and immediately bowed to Gu Dayong and said, "I have been waiting for you for a long time, Wang will follow you into the palace!"

"Okay, Mr. Wang is really a cheerful person!" For some unknown reason, Gu Dayong seemed to always want to maintain a good relationship with Wang Lun.There was even a hint of flattery, and then he turned around and said to Li Dongyang. "Li Gong, Your Majesty is still waiting in the palace, so my lord Wang and I will not bother you, and we will come to Li Gong's mansion to bother you when you have time in the future!"

Gu Dayong stood up and was about to leave, but Li Dongyang still inquired a little worriedly: "Eunuch Gu, I have known Ruyan for many years, I don't know why Your Majesty let Ruyan enter the palace this time?"

Seeing that Li Dongyang wanted to inquire about his tone, Gu Dayong replied with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Li. Your Majesty's meeting with Mr. Wang this time will only have good things and not bad things."

After saying this, Gu Dayong formally got up to leave, Wang Lun also entered the palace together, and Li Dongyang personally sent them outside the gate, but just after Wang Lun got into the carriage, Gu Dayong suddenly stopped. He made a move, turned his head to Li Dongyang and said with a smile, "Mr. Li, please take care of your slaves in the future!"

After Gu Dayong finished speaking, he turned around and got into the carriage. At the beginning, Li Dongyang didn't quite understand Gu Dayong's last words, but when he thought about it, he suddenly understood the deep meaning of Gu Dayong's words. This made him surprised and delighted all at once, and there was a different kind of deep meaning in his eyes looking at Gu Dayong.

After Gu Dayong and Wang Lun's carriage left Li Dongyang's mansion, they soon arrived at the west side of the imperial city, and Wang Lun was told on the way that His Majesty the Emperor would receive him in the Leopard Room, which made Wang Lun a little depressed. Unexpectedly, His Majesty the Emperor did not return to the Forbidden City when he received him, but still stayed in the notorious Leopard Room.

The Leopard House is located on the southwest side of the Taiye Pond in the Xiyuan of the Imperial City. It was originally a place to raise leopards, but later Zhu Houzhao saw that the scenery here was beautiful, which was more to his liking than the lifeless Forbidden City, so he built large-scale construction projects here. It took several years to build a complex of buildings, which not only has Zhu Houzhao's residence, but also many places to play, such as Buddhist temples, school grounds, the imperial market, etc., and even many beauties collected from all over the country.From the perspective of future generations, the entire Leopard Room is simply a large playground for adults, and it is no wonder that Zhu Houzhao stays in it every day and does not come out.

Gu Dayong led Wang Lun to a large hall in the Leopard Room. When they entered, they saw the young and heroic Zhu Houzhao leaning on the dragon chair, and two beautiful women beside him were giving He feeds fruit.

When Wang Lun came in, he took a sneak peek, and found that Zhu Houzhao was taller and more mature than he was a few years ago. In addition, he heard some guesses about His Majesty from Li Dongyang, which made him feel comforted. At least this His Majesty the emperor, who loves to play, has not completely forgotten about the court.

However, when Wang Lun glanced at the two women beside Zhu Houzhao, he couldn't help frowning, because these two women were not young girls, but beautiful young women in their 30s and [-]s, which reminded Wang Lun of the past. Heard some rumors about the Leopard House.

It is said that His Majesty the Emperor in front of him doesn't like young girls, but prefers young women who are already married, so there are some young women specially collected from the Leopard Room to serve His Majesty the Emperor. Judging by the age of the two women in front of him, they should be satisfied. This woman was recruited by His Majesty for his special hobby.

"Caomin kowtow to His Majesty!" Although Wang Lun was thinking about his heart, he never forgot the etiquette. After entering the hall, he immediately knelt down and saluted.Although Gu Dayong said that he was about to be used again, but before the official documents were issued, he was still a grassroots person.

"Hahaha~, Wang Lun, you don't need to be too polite. This is not the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and I don't like other people kneeling up and down. It's very useful. Go and bring Wang Aiqing a chair!" Zhu Houzhao saw Wang Lun coming in, Immediately waved away the two beautiful women beside him, then sat up straight and smiled.

Although Zhu Houzhao's attitude was very kind, Wang Lun still smiled wryly in his heart. As an emperor, he should have the majesty of an emperor, but now the emperor in front of him does not look like an emperor at all in his words and deeds. Lun didn't know what to say, but now he is still a grassroots person, and he has no right to advise the emperor's words and deeds, so he can only keep it in his heart, and it will not be too late to advise him when he resumes his position as the capital censor in the future , Now what he has to consider is how to deal with the Emperor in front of him.

Gu Dayong quickly moved a chair, and Wang Lun thanked him and sat down. At this moment, Zhu Houzhao said: "Wang Lun, because of negligence in the palace this time, you were arrested and taken to the capital. There are a lot of grievances, but don't worry, I have already let people deal with those people in the palace, and I will definitely give you justice!"

Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Wang Lun immediately stood up with a little trepidation and said, "Your Majesty takes care of the affairs of the grassroots and cares about the affairs of the grassroots. The grassroots are really grateful!"

After Zhu Houzhao heard this, he waved his hands and smiled and said, "Wang Aiqing, you were also a veteran minister in the court, and now you have to make up for your grievances. In addition, it is time for the court to employ people, so I have decided to use you again. Get ready, your appointment will be coming soon!"

Now that he heard that His Majesty wanted to use him, Wang Lun immediately knelt down to thank him, but Zhu Houzhao really didn't like others kneeling down to him, so he asked Wang Lun to stand up loudly, and when he sat down again, Zhu Houzhao Finally, I started to talk to Wang Lun about the business that called him here today.

"Wang Qing, I heard that you have a son-in-law named Zhou Zhong, the one who wrote Journey to the West?" Zhu Houzhao rarely showed a serious expression at this time, and his tone was also very dignified.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the daughter of the grass people is indeed engaged to Zhou Zhong. They were going to get married last year, but Zhou Zhong's father, Zhou Hai, passed away unexpectedly last year, which made him have to observe filial piety for three years. Therefore, he and his little daughter are not yet married. For the time being, he is not the son-in-law of the grass-roots people!" Wang Lun replied honestly, and at the same time he was also wondering in his heart that if Zhou Zhong was really behind the emperor in front of him, he should know Zhou Zhong's situation very well. That's right, why would you ask yourself about Zhou Zhong's situation?

Wang Lun, who lowered his head to answer, didn't realize that when he mentioned the name Zhou Hai, Zhu Houzhao's face suddenly flashed with anger, and when he heard that Zhou Zhong had kept his filial piety for Zhou Hai, which made him still unmarried, he suddenly snapped angrily. The dragon case in front of him shouted loudly: "Bastard, the Taizu of this dynasty has an order to marry a man at sixteen and a woman at fourteen. Zhou Zhong is already over sixteen, how can he not get married?"

For Zhu Houzhao's sudden anger, Wang Lun was taken aback at first, but when he heard Zhu Houzhao's messy words, he couldn't help laughing again. The Taizu did stipulate the age for marriage between men and women, but Taizu also stipulated Peeling the real grass, but now the Manchu Dynasty is greedy for both civil and military affairs. After all, so many years have passed, some laws and regulations of the year have long lost their effect, and Zhou Zhong is a filial piety for his father, even when he was the Taizu. eat sin.
