Chapter 595: Beginning

When eunuchs got the position, they always liked to go out to the palace to show off their wealth and honor. They were the lowest-level slaves in the palace, and there were layers of noble people on them. They were very suppressed. After walking around the palace, everyone knew that they were working in the palace. They flattered them politely, which made the eunuchs feel great satisfaction.

Because of this reason, sometimes the eunuchs did it well, and the rewards given by the superiors were also given out of the palace to do business.

Less than two months after entering the palace, the eunuch Li Quan showed loyalty and reliable performance, diligent and diligent work, and was promoted to the manager of the Zhongji Hall. The title of "Zhongji Hall" was added to the title of "Zhongji Hall" before the title of civil servants. He must be a cabinet grandson and an amazing figure. This eunuch actually cared for the cleaning of more than a dozen houses and five small leaders of the eunuchs under his command.

Once the lowly man is riding on the other side, he will be extremely domineering and arrogant. Many eunuchs in the palace are extremely respectful when doing things below and are humble. Once promoted, they will not only disagree with people in the same situation as theirs, but will instead become more and more oppressive.

This newly promoted Li Quan is different. He worked diligently before he was promoted, and was polite and enthusiastic to the people around him. After being promoted, he was diligent, but his attitude still remained unchanged.

The boss attaches great importance to such a simple performance in the palace. The promotion has been promoted, and he has to give some benefits on weekdays.

Of course, there is no generous reward, but he is just arranged to go out of the palace to buy something. This kind of errands can be relaxed, and the other is that he can get some oil and water.

The palace was suppressed and nervous. When he walked out of the palace gate, he felt much more relaxed. Li Quan was also relaxed and relaxed. He was surrounded by a little eunuch who helped to get things. The two of them wandered around, which was very happy.

The rich and powerful eunuchs lacked nothing. Li Quan, who was just here, came out for a walk and relax, went to the restaurant to have a meal if he had more money, and went to the dim sum shop to buy some exquisite dim sum.

There is a Shangshenjian in the palace, but this imperial chef is for all nobles and eunuchs with status. The palace maids prepare food. Ordinary eunuchs are just plain food. Those who can go to the delicacies restaurants will also be on duty. The eunuchs in other places are very short of mouths, and they always go out of the palace to eat.

Because of this, there are a little more snack shops and small restaurants near the palace than elsewhere. Li Quan took less money when he was withdrawing money in the palace, and he didn't know the bargaining price. He bought a few utensils, and he only cost more than 200 cents in his hand.

This amount of money is in the restaurant in the capital, which means that one person can eat well and it is difficult to eat enough. Don’t even think about whether two people eat well or full. They should put it on others and call the followers back first, and then spend money by themselves. Li Quan is a simple and honest person and can’t do such a thing. He can buy some exquisite snacks for more than 200 yuan, so he simply goes to a snack shop.

The young eunuch is fifteen or sixteen years old and doesn't know anything. He is very happy to eat some food. He followed Li Quan to the door of a snack shop. Li Quan ordered him to hold things outside and wait.

Maybe when buying things, you have to take some into your pocket. You still understand the rules of the little eunuch, just take things and wait outside.

Li Quan walked into the shop, and the guy at the counter greeted him with great sincerity. Li Quan looked around and said:

"Do you have ham pancakes mixed with shrimp?"

The ham pancake was mixed with shrimps, which was really weird. The guy was stunned. Li Quan looked back and said:

"You must have the golden hook shrimp from Tianjin sanitary products, otherwise the taste will not be thick..."

The guy immediately reacted, with a smile on his face, put the scale plate on the table, and put a piece of straw paper on the scale plate to put it on, and began to open the dessert cabinet to get the dessert.

The guy was unhappy and couldn't find the clip. After struggling there for a long time, Li Quan stared at the straw paper in the scale plate. As he looked, tears flowed down. He reached out and wiped it a few times but couldn't stop it. The guy patted his forehead and said with a smile:

"This cake is so oily, and this straw paper is so oily. My father-in-law is waiting for a while, and the smaller ones change to two pieces of paper."

While speaking, he pulled out the paper from the weighing plate, changed into two pieces, then put the cake on and started weighing it, then wrapped it in oil paper, collected the money and handed it to Li Quan, and said with a smile:

"If my father-in-law has a good meal, please come to the shop again. The shop must give me a discount and offer more discounts."

Li Quan nodded, turned around and walked out with the snacks. When he arrived at the door, he opened the paper bag and asked the little eunuch to take it to eat it himself, and he took out a piece of it himself.

"Oh, this pancake contains meat and shrimp, it's so fresh and fragrant. Eunuch Li really knows how to buy it... Eunuch Li, why are you crying...?"

Li Quan took out a piece of crispy cake and put it in his mouth to eat it. The aroma of ham and the fresh aroma of shrimp and the crispy crispy cake were very outstanding. He took a bite but couldn't help but cry. When he heard the little eunuch ask, he was stunned and choked and replied:

"When I was wandering outside the palace, I could have such delicious food. Now I can eat this. It is really a blessing I have cultivated in my previous life. Thanks to entering the palace."

This was sincere and made the eunuch shed a few tears.

After returning to the palace in the evening, Li Quan did the job as usual. The little eunuch who accompanied him was found and asked who had met when he left the palace during the sun and did what he did. After hearing this, he just smiled.

"….Ma Jing, a local army in Lingzhou, Ningxia, led the rebellion, killed the general Xu Ruji, slaughtered the whole family, and the governor Jin Yinghuai sent troops to wipe out, killed more than 30 thieves, and captured twenty-five people..."

In Wenyuan Pavilion, Emperor Wanli sat upright and Zhang Siwei read the memorial there. The cabinet on May 16th of Wanli was a little deserted than usual.

Zhang Juzheng, who had been in the lower left of Emperor Wanli, had a seat empty. The Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and Minister of Personnel, Li Youzi, had been allowed to retire. Li Youzi may have prepared for a long time to return home. After the decree in the palace came, he expressed his gratitude, and then he took his whole family out of Beijing to return home the next day. After Ma Ziqiang, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, retired, his successor Zhang Xueyan was still inexperienced and did not enter the cabinet.

In other words, among the cabinet's grandson today, only the Minister of War Zhang Siwei and Minister of Rites Shen Shixing were there.

After reading the memorial, Zhang Siwei bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, the governor Jin Yinghuai is in good condition and should be rewarded. He should make a contribution. He should devote his life to the soldiers and soldiers. He should each have his kindness and reward. Please give him a decision."

Emperor Wanli, who was sitting in the position, nodded, with a little irritability in his expression, and said:

"According to the past rules, reward what should be rewarded and what should be investigated and investigated. I heard that Ma Jing incited soldiers to rebel because Xu Ruji deducted too much?"

Zhang Siwei paused and bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, this matter has not been mentioned in Ningxia official documents, so I dare not speak nonsense."

"In March, the soldiers in Hangzhou East and West Camp mutiny was also because of the deduction of military pay. In April, there was Ningxia again... I don't understand. The annual financial resources are almost 670% used on the border town, and 80% of them are often given. The amount of money given is so much, so why do you still have to deduct it? So many things happen."

In March this year, the Zhejiang Governor reduced the military pay of the Hangzhou troops, and directly deducted 30% of them. The Hangzhou soldiers mutiny, and the inspector submitted an impeachment. The court removed the governor from the court and then everything remained unchanged.

The matter was not serious and it calmed down within seven days, but it was the first large-scale mutiny of soldiers after Wanli ascended the throne, which made Wanli very uncomfortable.

After complaining a few words, Emperor Wanli was also a little discouraged when he saw Zhang Siwei who was still in a state of calmness. He withheld military pay in the whole world. Even if he wanted to change, he would not be able to move immediately. Emperor Wanli calmed down and asked:

"Shen Shixing, yesterday ** went to Mr. Zhang's house to visit me for my illness. How is Mr. Zhang's condition?"

After asking this, Wenyuan Pavilion seemed to be quieter. Everyone knew the news, but everyone wanted to know more about Zhang Juzheng's condition.

Hearing the question, Shen Shixing, the Minister of Rites who had been standing silently on one side, stepped forward and bowed and said:

"Report to Your Majesty, when I went to Zhang Ge Lao's mansion, Zhang Ge Lao was supported by the chief lord to thank him. I saw that Zhang Ge Lao was in good spirits, but his legs and feet were a little inconvenient, and his eyes were filled with blood. It was indeed the heat and toxin symptoms mentioned by the imperial physician."

After saying a few words, he looked at the expression of Emperor Wanli. He now listened attentively, he adjusted his thoughts and said again:

"The Imperial Hospital sent by Your Majesty to the hospital told the minister at Zhang Ge Lao's mansion that the Ge Lao seemed to have excessive internal heat and took yang-helping medicines all year round, which accumulated heat and toxins, which was quite troublesome to cure the disease."

The imperial physician often speaks a lot of nude words, and this "it's quite troublesome to adjust" is not a good sign in the ears of everyone.

Everyone understood that they all had heavy expressions on their faces, but whether they were cabinet ministers or eunuchs, they wanted to know the expression and reaction of Emperor Wanli.

Emperor Wanli's face was full of tumultuousness. After Shen Shixing finished speaking, he was silent for a while before speaking:

"Mr. Zhang worked too hard for state affairs... Zhang Cheng transferred some good medicinal supplements from the palace to Mr. Zhang's side, and told Mr. Zhang's family that if there were any medical requirements, just say it, and it would be planned by the palace."

Zhang Cheng, who was standing on the other side, bowed and responded. Emperor Wanli pondered for a while, and then spoke:

"There are only two people in the cabinet now. How can the central place be so short? Last night, I issued an order to promote Liang Menglong, Minister of Personnel, and Minister of Works, Zeng Shengwu, who entered the cabinet to discuss matters."

It is not a trivial matter to add two new cabinet ministers. Emperor Wanli said it vaguely, but everyone below knew that these two were chosen by Empress Dowager Cisheng. Zhang Siwei's face calmed down, but Shen Shixing beside him knelt down first to receive the order, and he could only kneel down...

Just during the court meeting, in the office of the eunuch Lin Shulu, the supervisor of the Imperial Horse Supervision Office, Shuangxi said with some excitement:

"Master, I got the news this morning, that person has not lived for two months."

“…Can our family live for two months?”

Lin Shulu said calmly without joy or sorrow on his face—
