Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 341 The incident happened because of the upstart in the palace
Hearing the name of the eunuch Lin Shulu, the supervisor of the imperial horse, Zhang Cheng, the eunuch of Bingbi, the supervisor of ceremonies, frowned. This Lin Shulu was jumping up and down, disturbing the restlessness in the palace, why did he come to the imperial study.

Emperor Wanli seemed to know Zhang Cheng's question, turned his head and said:

"Zhang Banban, I called him here."

Hearing what the little emperor said, Zhang Cheng quickly calmed down, bowed slightly, and preached:
"Long live Lord Xuan Lin Shulu has an audience!!"

Zhao Jinliang opened the door outside, Lin Shulu walked quickly to the desk, knelt down and kowtowed to salute, Emperor Wanli said kindly:
"Shulu Lin is also working hard, just get up and talk."

Here Xie En stood up, Lin Shulu stood there with his hands down, Emperor Wanli didn't look up, picked up another booklet, flipped through it, and said:
"Now the Imperial Horse Supervisor is checking the armor and weapons of these years, and the barracks are being built, right!?"

"Going back to Lord Long Live, when the accounts are settled at the end of the year, the account room at the Yuma Supervisor's military supply side found several flaws, and the loss and inventory did not match, so the servants arranged for people to continue to check the accounts at the end of the year. I don't understand this. It's not easy to explain."

"Oh, you Yumajian has had a lot of changes in personnel and establishment in the past 30 years. I don't know how many people have handled it, and some ambiguities are inevitable."

Emperor Wanli replied lightly, Lin Shulu looked up at the emperor stealthily, and then at Zhang Cheng who was behind the emperor, and replied respectfully:
"Long live Lord Shengming, the Imperial Horse Supervisor has different divisions and battalions. Some people take advantage of the frequent changes and take advantage of the loopholes. I don't know how much internal money is lost. It breaks the ancestors' rules and destroys the Imperial Horse Supervisor's combat power..."

"Old Lin, I know that you put your heart into your errands, but the errands in the inner court, in addition to your heart, you also need to be kind? You have entered the Yuma prison for such a big investigation three times, and now everyone is uneasy, and each other is wary of suspicion. Why bother, the past is the past, there is no need to investigate."

After talking for a long time, he finally clicked on the topic. Zhang Cheng raised his head and glanced to the side, then looked ahead, and then lowered his head again.

Lin Shulu twitched his eyebrows, then bowed more respectfully and said:

"Long live Lord sees Wanli clearly, and the lesson is that the servants will close the account here, and start from the beginning next year. The servants are also eager to do errands. I didn't expect to hurt the peace, and please forgive me."

Wanli raised his head and said with a smile:

"I just asked you to come and tell me, there is nothing wrong with you. From now on, you should work hard on your errands. Both the queen mother and my side know about it. Go on down."

Lin Shulu kowtowed again and exited the imperial study.

Emperor Wanli looked down at the memorial again, and after a few glances he had an irritable and bored expression on his face again, but Zhang Cheng remained silent at the side.

************
Lin Shulu withdrew from the Imperial Study Room and left through the gate of the courtyard, walking on the road with a calm and gentle expression, and he responded gently to the little eunuchs who came and went to greet and salute.

Nowadays, Lin Shulu's popularity in the palace is quite good. Although he is very strict in the imperial horse prison, the only ones who suffer are the big eunuchs, and he treats the little eunuchs who are on errands very kindly. Sometimes the people below meet Whatever the crisis, I asked Lin Shulu to help anyone who could help.

Compared with Feng Bao, Zhang Cheng and others who have a high status and are rarely seen face to face, the friendly Lin Shulu naturally has a good impression in the hearts of the people below.

Walking all the way back to his own house, several eunuchs greeted him, quickly took the charcoal brazier fan from the side room, and sent it to the main room. Lin Shulu stretched out his hand to bake on the charcoal brazier for a while, and then said after a long silence:
"Don't check the accounts anymore, and withdraw the people who are taking inventory in various warehouses."

The few people around were taken aback for a moment, and one of them boldly wanted to say something, Lin Shulu said indifferently:
"It's almost Chinese New Year, so there's no need to work so hard, we're all back busy for the New Year..."

*************
It was almost the twentieth of the twelfth lunar month, and when this season was busy, things should be cleared up. At this time, the Supervisor of Rituals was not as busy as the Imperial Supervisor.

In order to prepare for the various uses of the palace for the New Year, the Imperial Prison buys a large amount of money outside every day, and the money is spent like water. In the past, this is the time when the most money is spent. This year, Wang Tong has sent nearly With 70 taels of gold, flower and silver, the money is loose, so the money is naturally extravagant.

In addition to being the eunuch in the palm of the chief inspector, Feng Bao is also the palm seal of the imperial eunuch. Now that he is busy, he is less likely to be used as the chief inspector. Zhang Cheng is the emperor's companion, and he has to wait on him many times during the day , I don't have time to come to the supervisor of ceremonies.

One of them is the palm print and the other is the pen. The supervisor of ceremonies has to make up their minds about big and small matters, and these are all major events in the world that cannot be delayed, so when the two of them are in the supervisor of ceremonies in the twelfth lunar month, they are mostly at night. .

"Today's work is about the same, you guys go back and rest!"

Seeing that the sky was already dark outside, Zhang Cheng put the red-approved booklet beside him, and said, Zhang Hong and the other eunuchs stood up, and politely replied:

"Eunuch Zhang is also working hard, the subordinates will go back first."

Everyone is a thoughtful character, Feng Bao is still in the back room, Zhang Cheng said such a thing, naturally the two of them have something to talk about, otherwise, how could Zhang Cheng say such a thing.

When a group of people walked out of the room, Zhang Cheng said to the little eunuchs in the room who delivered the papers and copied the papers:
"You all go out too, close the door, and don't come in without order."

After the people in the house left, Zhang Cheng closed and tidied up the documents and notebooks that had been unfolded on his desk, and then went to Feng Bao's private room.

There are four lanterns hanging in this room, inside are tallow candles, very bright, Feng Bao was holding a few booklets there, when he heard Zhang Cheng come in, he raised his head and said:
"The two towns of Datong and Yulin have come to cry for poverty again. They really think that our palace is a fool and a blind man? Don't our family know that they trade with the Tartars in the Western Regions every year and make a lot of money? Zhang Cheng, let the Ministry of War and the household The subordinates reprimanded, if it is really not good, they will issue an order to question."

Zhang Cheng respectfully agreed, but he didn't take it seriously in his heart. The eunuchs in Datong and Yulin were all Feng Bao's personal. Those two towns were fattened up, and these superintendents probably made a lot of money. What's the use of just reprimanding the border towns.

After thinking about it, it's another matter to say it, Zhang Cheng said with a smile:

"Why should Mr. Feng be angry with these rough men? It's not just today that they cry about poverty. Look at Liao Town, the power of salt, tea, cattle and horses, border markets, and reclamation are all in the hands of his army town, but they don't have to pay. Tian Fu, it is said that if you do guerrilla attacks there, you will be as wealthy as the big merchants in the south of the Yangtze River. In this way, don’t you ask the court to allocate more money and food to the country this year, just reprimand it.”

Feng Bao closed the booklet and shook his head helplessly. Zhang Cheng stepped forward, took out a piece of film from his sleeve and handed it over. He lowered his voice and said:
"Eunuch Feng, this is what Zou Yi found out this afternoon, but it has nothing to do with Zhang Jing this time."

Feng Bao stretched out his hand to take it, and before looking at the folder, he sighed with emotion:
"Zou Yi is a good boy, capable and steady, wait until this year to see if there is a position that can be arranged, and don't let him feel cold."

Zhang Cheng thanked with a smile, Feng Bao was watching the folder, Zhang Cheng explained:
"Although Sun Hai is an admiral in the Yumajian, there are still people in charge of him, but he belongs to Mrs. Chen, and Mrs. Li also has orders from her, so it's not easy for everyone to take care of her. Sun Hai also has big hands and feet, so he has no scruples. The barracks, as well as the Huangzhuang Huangdian under the supervision of Yuma, all stretched out their hands. Lao Lin first attacked Zou Yi. Seeing that his temper was right, he began to check on Sun Hai. scolded..."

"... With such a large number, it's no wonder that you have to let go and flatter the Lord Long Live... Are you confused?"

Feng Bao took a few glances, read the content on the folded sheet, threw the folded sheet on the table, and commented, Zhang Cheng just smiled and said nothing.

"Eunuch Feng, Sun Hai takes the Long Live Lord to Xiyuan to play every night. Sometimes it takes until after midnight. For a few days, the Long Live Lord's eyes are red when he goes to court. Listening to Mr. Zhang's lectures I dozed off a few times, this is too much trouble, the empress dowager ignores it now, and it will be troublesome to ask."

After a while, Zhang Cheng said these words, Feng Bao was silent for a while, and said slowly:
"After all, it was arranged by Mrs. Chen. Sun Hai was a bit greedy, but he was loyal to Mrs. Li and Lord Long Live, and he was very polite to us, but such a toss is not a good thing. Our family arranged for someone to watch over him. Down."

"It's Eunuch Feng's consideration."

*************
When the end of the year was approaching, everyone in the Yuma Supervisor heaved a sigh of relief. The stern and selfless Lin Shulu finally didn't bother with those mistakes in the past, and he clearly stated that everything in the past was never to be blamed.

Zou Yi, the superintendent of the left guard of Longxiang back then, went wrong, and even Zhang Cheng and Zhang Gonggong were blocked from going to Guansuo. Seeing that many people were going to be unlucky this time, I didn't expect that there would be thunder and rain. It's okay, the news spread quickly, saying that Grandpa Sun Hai begged to the Long Live Lord, and the Long Live Lord ordered Lin Shulu again.

Sun Hai, Eunuch Sun, is currently the closest and most respected internal official of the Lord Long Live. It seems that this is true. It is said that Eunuch Zhang accompanied the court every day during the day, but Eunuch Sun accompanied him in the afternoon and night. And talking and laughing.

The eunuchs and maids in the palace are all sycophants. Sun Hai and Sun Gonggong were favored, and many people immediately fawned on them, not to mention those "well-informed" people outside the palace.

That is to say, after the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month, Grandpa Sun Hai, the admiral and eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, suddenly became the most popular figure in the capital. There were even rumors that at the beginning of next year, Grandpa Sun Hai, Sun Hai, would be admitted to the Ritual Supervisor.

**************
On the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, Li Hutou and Sun Dahai set off in Tianjinwei to escort the team of silver and money to the capital.
