In the Zi (forbidden) city, Zhang Cheng, the eunuch of the Sili Supervisor, got off the sedan chair, held a notebook in his hand, and frowned and walked into the yard of the imperial study. When he walked in, the eunuch guarding the gate made a loud noise, Zhao Jinliang came out of the imperial study room, and Zhang Cheng walked up to him and asked in a low voice:

"Have you ever had dinner?"

"The food box was sent from the imperial kitchen. Long lively said he was not hungry."

Hearing Zhao Jinliang's answer, Zhang Cheng subconsciously looked at the sky. Seeing the stars and moon in the sky, Zhang Cheng shook his head and said in a low voice:

"Why haven't you been to Empress Zheng's place at this time?"

Zhao Jinliang reported the sentence, Emperor Wanli responded, and Zhang Cheng walked in. The imperial study room was brightly lit, and nine lanterns filled with butter candles were hung, and even the room was a little hot.

Emperor Wanli sat behind the desk, with a few exquisite side dishes on the desk and the spoons placed in the bowl. When Zhang Cheng saw the gift, he walked up to him, but the food on the table was not moving. Zhang Cheng was stunned for a moment and said:

"Long live, if you don't eat, you will hurt your health. Please eat more."

After he finished speaking, Emperor Wanli did not react. He shook his head after a while and said in a deep voice:

"The Public Security Department reports every day. I remember a lot of words about Mr. Zhang's inner house. I will come to you to find him. I want to see it."

Zhang Cheng was stunned and quickly bowed to accept the order. If Emperor Wanli said he was gritting his teeth or his voice was bleak, it was understandable, but his tone was extremely calm and there was no emotional fluctuation. Zhang Cheng, who consciously knew Emperor Wanli well, was also a little uneasy and quickly agreed. The Public Security Department needed to report to Emperor Wanli's side, all of which were recorded, but it was managed by Zou Yi, the head of Jiukelang, and sent someone to the imperial study room. It would be no time to take it back.

During this period, Zhang Cheng persuaded Emperor Wanli twice to have dinner. Emperor Wanli just said he was not hungry. On weekdays, the emperor also had anger and refused to eat. Everyone could hear the tone. However, today he said that he was not hungry, and it seemed that he was not hungry, but the more he did, the more he knew that something was wrong.

Zhang Cheng was anxious, but Emperor Wanli was still normal. He picked up the memorial and approved two copies, and asked calmly:

"I heard from Xiaoliang that Zhang Baobao's house had some problems and asked the people from Zhidianjian to repair it. What's going on?"

Although he didn't understand why Emperor Wanli asked this, Zhang Cheng still answered truthfully:

"I'm sorry for the Lord. There is a leak in the wall where the books are placed next to my home. I'm afraid that the wind and rain will come in and break the books, so I arranged for people to repair them. They are all old houses that have been around for many years and the wood cannot hold back."

Emperor Wanli smiled and shook his head, not continuing the topic. The emperor asked for documents at night, and Zou Yi did not dare to neglect it. He led a few eunuchs who were doing business to quickly select the relevant documents and sent them.

In the capital, Zhang Ge Lao was naturally the center of the topic. There were many strange rumors on the streets and alleys. Although the documents from the Public Security Bureau were screened, there were still many.

There was a hurry to do it. After Zou Yi sorted out, he asked (sex) to put the papers on the sedan chair. Several small eunuchs carried them. He followed and trotted all the way to the imperial study room. Everyone knew about the daily routine of Emperor Wanli. He was still in the imperial study room so late and did not go to Concubine Zheng's side, so Zou Yi also found it strange.

The document was sent in one by one, and Zou Yi was waiting in the yard. When he was thinking about whether to say goodbye, he saw the curtain lifted up. Zhao Jinliang leaned out and said:

"Eunuch Zou, long live the message to you to come in"

Zou Yi hurriedly walked in, first kowtowed, got up and subconsciously glanced at the opposite side. Seeing that Emperor Wanli was as usual, Zhang Cheng's expression was quite solemn. He couldn't help but wonder. Emperor Wanli asked:

"I remember some documents say that Zhang Ge's inner house is in his hometown. Yes, it is the handsome scholar who was put on his head with someone's pocket and then he was deceived to come to the Heavenly Palace and sleep with those fairies..."

Zou Yi looked at Zhang Cheng in confusion again, but found that his adoptive father was also shocked. Emperor Wanli smiled. Although the emperor said that although there were a lot of news from the Public Security Department, Zou Yi really had an impression of this matter.

The scholars in the capital all said that a juren from Nanzhili, a tall, handsome and handsome man, was invited to a tavern with an anonymous post one day. When the guests were drinking, the wine and food were all ready. The juren was not wary and fell asleep after drinking.

When he woke up, he was already in a very beautiful mansion. He saw all the beautiful beauties, and besides the Han women, he also had exotic charms. The juren was extremely shocked. The women told him that he had come to the Heavenly Palace. The juren's family was also a wealthy family, but he had never seen such a gorgeous and luxurious place. He had so many stunning ones, so he believed it.

All day long, he was extremely free and easy, but sometimes he had to live underground. It is said that it was the place of a "cave house". After more than ten days, he was drunk and drowsy. When he woke up, he was on the street, and his whole body was wrapped in a cloth bag full of strange fragrance, and there were more than a hundred taels of gold around him. Is it a dream or a reality? This juren was also confused. When he went to find a tavern to get drunk, he found that there were no taverns on the street, and the tavern was just an uninhabited house.

The juren really thought that he had gone to the Heavenly Palace and showed off his experiences everywhere. When he was boasting at a restaurant in Shima Lane, he was heard by a family next door and said with a smile that when Concubine Jia of the Western Jin Dynasty was lost in the streets, he entered the palace. He was not a way to go. You didn’t know that you had entered the inner house of the wealthy family.

The female family in other families was filthy. With such beautiful women in the inner house, and such a luxurious and beautiful family, how could he offend him? This juren was afraid of being killed, so he fled from the capital that night and disappeared from now on.

According to the various situations described by him, everyone is guessing that it is Mr. Zhang’s mansion.

When the rumor was presented, Emperor Wanli read it very carefully, but the focus of the rumor was that how the juren was in the "Heaven Palace" was absurd, and the rest were omitted. Zou Yi guessed that the reason why Emperor Wanli read it carefully was probably similar to the thought of reading the paintings of the sequel palace.

But why did Zou Yi ask again today? He was confused. Since he had clarified what was going on, it would be much easier to search and check. Soon he found it and handed it to Emperor Wanli with both hands.

Emperor Wanli smiled and opened it. Zou Yi thought about it and came forward to report:

"Long lively, the three pages of the paper below this volume were added at the end of last year. The Public Security Bureau sent someone to check it. The so-called juren is a false thing. It was just that two nuns walked on the Zhangge Lao Mansion and often did some money-losing and sending letters for the inner house. These two nuns had a good relationship outside and told what they saw and heard in the Zhang Mansion. The stories they made up were written into booklets and sold at high prices. These two adulterers, Yin’s wife, Shuntian Mansion, have been re-run..."

Emperor Wanli looked through the document carefully, and nodded while listening to Zou Yi's words, and asked casually with a smile:

"This Taixiji, Siamese girl, and Goryeo girl, is this true?"

"Report to Master Long Live, this... should be true..."

"I saw that the celestial girl's clothes and rings were not as good as the world's world. Afterwards, I thought it was worth more than a thousand gold, and it was not possible to have it. Tsk tsk, that is to say, the women in Zhang Ge Lao Hou's house dressed like this, right?"

This was the third time Zou Yi had seen Zhang Cheng. Zhang Cheng's expression was still, as if his jaw was pointing down. Zou Yi wanted to see clearly, but Emperor Wanli smiled and looked up. He quickly lowered his head and hesitated, and reported:

"I have never seen you personally, but Mr. Zhang's house is extremely luxurious. There are many rumors, so it should be true."

"The pavilions and buildings all look like the Heavenly Palace. Afterwards, I thought about it. Even if the Heavenly Palace can do it, I'm afraid it's worse. Haha, there's no need to ask you about this. I visited my illness today and saw Mr. Zhang's mansion. It was indeed... indeed..."

Zou Yi didn't know how to answer, so he just bowed down. Wanli smiled and turned to Zhang Cheng and said:

"Zhang Baoban, I and the imperial concubine's bed tent are just copper hooks. The material is said to be purchased by the Imperial Prison in Jiangnan. Mr. Zhang has a silver hook. The texture of the veil is. Although I don't know much, I know it is better than what I use."

Zhang Cheng was stunned for a moment and wanted to open his mouth, but he still looked down and was silent. Emperor Wanli smiled and turned around, looking through the document again. He only turned one page and stopped moving, as if he was stunned.

After a while, Emperor Wanli suddenly threw the document in his hand out. The three eunuchs serving in the room all looked up. Emperor Wanli stood up from the chair and swept the table with his arms. The cold food dishes on the table fell to the ground and shattered them one after another.

"Damn it"

Emperor Wanli shouted suddenly, and the people in the room were stunned. The footsteps outside sounded rapidly. Several guards ran in, and one shouted outside:

"Your Majesty, what are your instructions?"

This is also the rule in the palace. If the guards hear any abnormal reaction, Emperor Wanli stood up and shouted:

"Get out and get out and guard outside"

He agreed outside and left quickly.

"I can only save myself one (meat) dish when I eat. At that time, Zhang's partner led me out to eat a bowl of braised meat (meat). I was so happy... Mr. Zhang wanted to eat river fish. He actually loaded water on the boat and raised fish to the capital, so he told me not to build a business. My mother and her mother lived in an old and dilapidated house. What did Zhang Juzheng live in? It was well said in the newspaper, Qionglou Yuyu, even I looked at the house that was jealous. If I went to my beloved concubine for many times, I would have to stay away from the girl. What did he do? "

At the end, Emperor Wanli grabbed a jade lion paperweight in the memorial, smashed it on the ground, looked around with red eyes, and directly overturned:

"Old man"
