The servants of Jiuwu discussed why Zhang Juzheng could hold power. One of the important ones was that Liu Shouyou, the commander of the Jinyiwei, was responsible for Zhang Juzheng.

The Jinyiwei is the largest intelligence agency in the Ming Dynasty. Its internal and external intelligence reconnaissance and spy. In the past, these news flowed from the Jinyiwei and the East Factory to the palace and finally arrived at the eunuchs and emperors of the Silijian. The ministers of the outer court rarely intervened and understood.

At the beginning of the Wanli Dynasty, the Jinyiwei, with Feng Bao's acquiescence, went to Zhang Juzheng, all the big and small matters of officials outside the capital, and public and private information in the world inside and outside the capital were all under the control of Zhang Juzheng. In this case, whether it was to implement national policies or carry out political struggles, Zhang Juzheng had the advantages that were not available in the Ming Dynasty.

As Zhang Juzheng's power grew, the greater the benefits Liu Shouyou, the commander of the Jinyiwei, got, and the more loyal he was to Zhang Juzheng.

The emperor suddenly summoned him in the morning. Liu Shouyou's first reaction was that he would come to tell the old emperor about summoning this matter, then prepare clothes and hurried towards the imperial city.

The little eunuch who led the way took him to the imperial study. When Liu Shouyou heard the Xuan in the house, he quickly bent down and walked in and knelt down, and began to kowtow to greet him.

Although he was respectful in etiquette, Liu Shouyou and Zhang Juzheng had been with him for a long time and knew that the eunuchs in charge of the seal of the Sili Supervisor regarded Emperor Wanli and the emperor as children.

Although I don’t know that my family does not have that status, I really have no respect for the Emperor Zhenli.

The curtain meeting has ended, and the Imperial Study Room is also quiet. The little emperor's round face showed a gentle smile and asked softly:

"Liu Aiqing, I heard that there are some villages outside your city?"

Liu Shouyou was stunned when he asked this. After careful consideration, he then started to report:

"Report to your Majesty, I have six manors outside the capital, but they are all property of the family, passed down by my father.

Liu Shouyou's father was a minister favored by Emperor Jiajing and gave a lot of rewards. He actually paid a lot of attention just now. The salary of civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty was extremely low. The annual salary of the commander of the Jinyiwei was only 200 taels of silver. How could he afford a farmhouse outside the city?

Of course, no civil and military ministers were expected to live a life of this little thing, but there were some things that were tacit, but if they really took it, it would be troublesome. Liu Shouyou answered like this. He directly pushed the matter to Emperor Jiajing, and he would definitely not investigate it.

However, Emperor Wanli did not seem to be obsessed with this problem. He just nodded and said with a smile:

"Don't kneel down, sit down!"

He said, "Thank you for your throne." Liu Shouyou's mind was calmer. Sitting on the embroidery pier beside him, the little emperor was always smiling. Cooperating with his childish fat face, he looked extremely gentle. He asked again:

"I heard that there was a village outside the city that was snatched by Wang Tong?"

Liu Shouyou's mentality was "splied" and he quickly stood up from the embroidery pier and replied respectfully:

"When you say that, my Zhuangzi and Wang Tong's subordinate Ma Sanbiao have some old grudges. That day, Ma Sanbiao went nearby and was found by the merchants. He was entangled and started fighting. Things were simple, and they would release people after reporting to my mansion. Who would have thought that Wang Tong actually led people to attack and robbed people and made a big fuss. More than a dozen merchants were injured, two of them were seriously injured, and Zhuangzi also suffered a lot of damage.

This is quite skillful. It seems to be the truth, but in fact it pushes all the mistakes to Wang Tong. Emperor Wanli nodded again and said:

"It's indeed a bit reckless, and Liu Aiqing, you are Wang Tong's Shangguan. He is so chasing like this, and he has any etiquette and rules. He is just a general flag so arrogant. What else should I do in the future? Such people must be severely scolded!"

Liu Shouyou, the commander of the Jinyiwei, quickly bowed and said:

"Your Majesty is wise and fair, but Wang Tong is also a young man. He is a little reckless, and other things are still good. It would be fine if you get this sect."

Emperor Wanli kept smiling and nodding, and said in a complimentary tone:

"Liu Aiqing is open-minded!"

Having said this, Liu Shouyou finally breathed a sigh of relief. Emperor Wanli was pleading for Wang Tong. Perhaps the actions of Mr. Zhang at the court meeting that day made the little emperor worried, but Wang Tong's path to promotion had been blocked. What else could be more revenge in the officialdom than stopping others' promotion? This is enough. It is better to go with the flow at this time. Liu Shouyou wanted to speak, but Emperor Wanli said again:

"Wang Tong is old, you should also care about and support him. He now has a lot of people and some horses. He needs a place to be placed outside the city. Since Liu Aiqing's attacked farmhouse has suffered a lot of damage, it is useless. According to the couplet, why not just give Wang Tong what to do, it also makes Liu Aiqing broad-minded and support his younger generations."

Liu Shouyou, the commander of the Jinyiwei, finally understood what the emperor was looking for him to do. This was to plead with love, and it was clearly to find Wang Tong back the place.

Originally, his farm was attacked by Wang Tong in mask. The well-informed people in the capital were rumored. He had already lost his face and found Zhang Juzheng's statement. No matter whether Zhang Juzheng came out to suppress Wang Tong and held Wang Tong in a suppressed manner, people outside would think that this was the chance of the cabinet master fighting for him.

This great face has only been maintained for less than two days. Today, the emperor asked him to give the farm to Wang Tong, which was equivalent to slapping him heavily in the face.

"The land deed, the horses and the tourists on the farm, are all given to Wang Tong. It is rare for the Ming Dynasty to have such a solid person, so it is better to support it."

The emperor's words were the will. Liu Shouyou's brain was electrocuted, but there was no way to refute it. He also praised respectfully:

"Your Majesty is wise, I will make arrangements when I go back."

"There are still some memorials to read. My dear, go back now!"

Wang Tong tactfully told Emperor Wanli the afternoon before that the general meaning was that he needed the village of Liu Shouyou outside the city, otherwise there would be no place to settle so many people and horses.

At the same time, he hinted a few words that His Majesty's plan to promote the empress at the court meeting was rejected by Mr. Zhang and others. This was a trivial matter, but what should His Majesty do with his prestige? It is good for Mr. Gong to beg him to serve the country as a whole, but the rumors may be different. He became the commander of the Jinyiwei, begging Mr. Gong to suppress the emperor.

If you don’t promote yourself, it’s for the public, but it’s not that you, Liu Shou, have a great reputation. If you don’t promote, you have to bring the village over, which can be regarded as giving everyone a look.

Emperor Wan Chi Bu is also a person with a clear mind. He has experienced many strange storms in the court, and Li Xuan understood Wang Tong's meaning.

Since the emperor agreed, there was no news. Wang Tong paid attention to the Huwei Wu Hall in the afternoon. It was now that Emperor Wanli was the same as usual. He reached out and patted Wang Tong's back when he was about to go back. The smile on his face was inexplicable. It made people confused.

As soon as he returned home, Zhang Shiqiang led the person respectfully. The person who came in looked similar to Lu Wancai's usual dress. He was about forty years old, with a waist sign hanging around his waist, which read "The Jinyi Personal Military Experience Department" The man held a pocket in his hand and smiled when he entered the door:

"A certain surname is Hou. He is a hundred households who are doing Mojian in the department. Congratulations to Lord Wang first!"

Wang Tong, a hundred households in charge of the Department of Mojian, quickly stood up and clasped their fists as a courtesy. Mojian means to assess the performance of people. In modern terms, this position is the leader in charge of human resources and personnel affairs. Such people cannot be neglected.

Zhang Shiqiang had already prepared snacks and tea on the table, and then stepped out. Hou Baihu took out his body and waist card from his pocket. The waist card was a brass brand, handed them to Wang Tong, and said with a smile:

"Our Jinyi Personal Army was a hundred households at the age of fourteen. Lord Wang can be said to be unprecedented. He is truly a young hero. I will contact you and I will have more contact in the future!"

"Natural and natural. Lord Hou asked the subordinates to collect it. He sent it in person. It's so polite."

"You can be kind enough to talk there, but it's just a way to deliver it."

Yang Baihu, who had experienced the department, offended Wang Tong and was assigned to the border. All the leaders of the department knew this and warned each other not to offend this small general flag. Since they could not afford to offend, they naturally belong to the category that could be won over.

An ordinary householder who is a sacrificial sign, the person who has experienced the department will not take any major matters at all, just come here to collect it. However, for Wang Tong, Hou Baihou, who is responsible for this office, will have to go there in person.

When both sides were polite, Zhang Shiqiang was urging to inform him:

"Sir, Mr. Liu Quancai, please see me!"

Wang Tong was stunned when he heard this name, because he had never heard of it. Hou Baihu, who had experienced this, looked moved and said with a smile:

"It's okay, Lord Wang is right!"

Soon, a man in his fifties and slightly blessed came in. The man was dressed in blue clothes and was clearly a servant, but he looked like a master.

When Wang Tong saw someone, he was still not familiar with him. The one who said hello first came to Hou Baihu. This Hou Baihu clasped his fists and said with a smile:

"Bo Liu, here is Hou Zhe who has experienced the Ministry of Education. I didn't expect to see you again here!"

When Liu Quancai greeted Hou Baihu so politely, he nodded, took out a few documents from his arms, and then took out a few keys from the bag next to him, put them all on the table, and bowed and said:

"Mr. Wang, this is the land deed of the village and the keys of the warehouse, the horses and the merchants, etc. I am waiting for the parents to handle it.

Wang Tong already understood what was going on. No wonder the little emperor Wanli pretended to be mysterious in the afternoon. It turned out that he did this, and he was really a child's character.

Liu Quancai's expression was a little stiff. He put down his things and saw Wang Tong nodding, so he said goodbye and left. The Hou Baihu next to him had already opened his mouth wide. He stared at Wang Tong with no dignity and asked:
Chapter completed!
