Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 37 Wealth and glory
The house just now looked no different from the house of Jingshi Medium House, and the decoration was simple and plain.

But at this time, if there are birds flying over the sky, you will see that this simple civilian house is surrounded by grand and magnificent palaces.

The beautiful, solemn and solemn palace, the towering vermilion palace wall, the ground paved with bluestone slabs, and the eunuchs and maids walking in it all explain where this is.

Zhang Cheng, who seemed to be a loyal employee in the delicious restaurant, was wearing a scarlet python robe at this time, striding forward, followed by more than a dozen eunuchs, whether they were court ladies or eunuchs, after seeing Zhang Cheng's team, They all dodged sideways, bowed to salute, and the low-quality ones even knelt down.

Zhang Cheng was the current emperor's companion when he was the crown prince in the East Palace, and now he is the second person in the inner court. It is not uncommon for the supervisor of ceremonies to hold the pen and also be in charge of the internal officials.

As he was walking, a little eunuch trotted over and whispered something in his ear. Zhang Cheng was stunned for a moment, nodded and said with a smile:

"What a good boy!"

This is naturally the imperial city of the Ming Dynasty—the Forbidden City. The small courtyard just now is the residence of Emperor Wanli's birth mother, Empress Dowager Li of the Ming Dynasty. .

Just now the little eunuch came to report the matter of Wang Tongxuan's errand. He learned that Wang Tong did not choose to collect money leisurely, but asked to go on patrol and investigate. He is willing to be busy and willing to do things. Such a person can at least be worthy of diligence. evaluate.

The news of Wang Tong's choice in the afternoon reached Feng Bao an hour earlier than it reached Zhang Cheng. After hearing the news, Feng Bao, the eunuch in charge of the chief inspector of ceremonies, smiled casually and commented:
"Warrior wants to have a future, and it's impossible to talk and avoid things like a literati. This kid knows how to do things, and we are worthy of our praise!"

There are quite luxurious mansions in the capital, which are the residences of ministers and nobles, and the largest one is that of Mr. Zhang Juzheng, the chief assistant of the current cabinet.

The news about Wang Tong was reported to Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao at about the same time. There were six or seven people in his study, all of whom were important ministers of the court and had a prominent reputation.

The commander of Jinyiwei, Liu Shouyou, didn't even have a place to sit in this study, he seemed to be a long-term servant serving the master's house, and he whispered the news to Queen Zhang Juzheng.

Da Ming Shoufu, who had been to the Delicious Restaurant during the day, was still wearing the black Confucian robe with dark gold pattern, and stroked his thick beard with his hands. Zhang Juzheng said in a deep thought:

"Shouyou, tell your lords about this matter."

The matter is simple, and it can be explained clearly in a few words. All the people present looked at each other, and the oldest person said impatiently:
"The emperor is young, but the empress dowager has arranged for a warrior to accompany him. Most of these vulgar people are treacherous. Don't spoil them. Mr. Zhang Ge, you should go and persuade the empress dowager and the emperor, and don't repeat the Zhengde dynasty. Bin's disaster!!"

Although Liu Shouyou, the commander of Jinyiwei, is a famous minister and family member, he can be regarded as a martial artist in this position. The words of this old minister are quite harsh to him, but he dare not say anything. Guang, the elder of the Three Dynasties.

After Wang Guoguang said this, several ministers agreed one after another, but Zhang Juzheng did not answer, and said calmly:

"There is no small matter in the Tian family, and the people around the Holy One are not small people. That child is not old, but his temperament and ability are not inferior to adults... Such a role will be a capable minister or a traitor in the future."

"Why did you say that the old man was called Zhang Fu? When he was a long-term follower in Zhang's residence, he naturally had to follow the surname of the master's family."

In the early morning of the next day, Wang Tong had to go to Tian Bai's house to sweep the house again. There were too many things he didn't understand, and Tian Bo didn't hide anything at this time, and he knew everything.

"You asked who the bearded man was yesterday. I really don't know? Forget it, Xiao Wang, you are young, and that is Mr. Zhang Ge, the chief assistant of the court!"

Tian Bo was quite surprised by Wang Tong's question. The folks called him "Big Beard Zhang". Wang Tong had already guessed about the same, but he was shocked when he heard the confirmation.

Both the Minister of Internal Affairs and the Chief Assistant came to a small restaurant to see people and ask questions, and the identity of the lame little fat man was clearly revealed...

After all, after being in contact with these days, this little fat man gave Wang Tong the impression that he was more of a willful and spoiled child. Even if he knew the supreme status, he was no more shocked than when Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng came to the store.

Feng Bao is fine, Zhang Juzheng is really famous and very dignified, Wang Tong has lived in this era for more than ten years, in the past four years, the number of times he has heard Zhang Juzheng's name is definitely more than that of Emperor Wanli or Feng Bao Much more.

The emperor's grand master, the current chief assistant, and the seal of the supervisor of ceremonies, and the internal minister Feng Bao as an ally, Zhang Juzheng's power surpassed any prime minister since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

Nowadays, Zhang Juzheng's words are the national policy of the imperial court, the queen mother and emperor in the palace fully support it, and the six ministries of the DPRK and the Central Cabinet are no different.

To put it bluntly, today's Zhang Juzheng is the emperor in the true sense of Ming Dynasty, and he is in charge of the world in a veritable name.

Wang Tong felt awe-inspiring, his life was indeed about to undergo earth-shaking changes, but when he reached a high place, if he made a wrong step, he would fall to pieces, so he had to be careful.

He was thinking in his mind, but the broom in his hand didn't stop. Uncle Tian looked at Wang Tong, and his affection became more and more serious. Before, he didn't know the identity of Uncle Tian, ​​and he came forward to help, but now he knows this identity and still comes to help, which means that this is about to become famous. Children are not naturally cold-hearted people, this kind of benevolent character will definitely be rewarded.

Tian Bo sprinkled some water, straightened up and beat his waist, and couldn't help reminding:

"Xiao Wang, you don't like to listen to the words of the little old man. The old man still remembers how prominent Meng Chong was when he assisted Gao Gong and the supervisor of ceremonies. You have a torrent of temper, but you must be careful!"

This reminder coincided with Wang Tong's thoughts just now, Wang Tong quickly stopped his work and thanked him, he said it seriously, it was a bit embarrassing, Wang Tong simply asked with a smile:

"Uncle Tian, ​​haven't you always been working for Mr. Ge, why did you become a grandfather here?"

"I have been working in the Zhang family for decades, and when I am old, my young master... is the old man Zhang Ge who is merciful. He found a family background for the old man's children, released him to start a family and set up a family... Sigh, I have been serving others for a lifetime, and I am free It’s really unbearable, I always have to find something to do every morning.”

Hearing the old man's words, Wang Tong smiled, it's normal that he can't be free after retirement, but Tian Bo couldn't help snorting when Wang Tong aroused him, and said:

"If it wasn't for the old man's hard work for most of his life, how could Tian Ronghao, an unbelievable person, come to work in this good place, playing bureaucratic tricks every day, even if he became a Jinyiwei, he would be sent to the miserable place beside the city wall!"
