The capital, Liutiao Hutong, Wang'an's residence.

As a eunuch in the hall of the Sili Hall, the prince's attendant and the eunuch in charge of the Eastern Palace, Wang An's identity is enough to be called "Dao".

It is also the default rule in the palace to be able to buy a house outside the palace for the sake of the Great Wall. The eunuch Chen Ju's house was given by the emperor himself.

Wang An’s house is not big, located at the southernmost end of the alley, with a few pine trees planted in the yard, all of which are old. I heard that it was planted during the Hongzhi period, so it has been hundreds of years.

There was nothing wrong with the East Palace today, and Wang An, the eunuch who was in charge of the ceremony, had no complaints about the honors, so he spoke to the master and returned to the house.

Two women from Beijing were invited to clean the house. Wang An brought his nephew from his hometown, Wang Damin, and his wife and children, led his wife and children to be the housekeeper for his uncle. It was refreshing inside and out.

Not long after Wang An returned to the house, a young man came to visit him.

Wang Damin knew that this young man was a newly acquired retainer of his clan uncle. He treated him well and valued him very much.

These days, this young man has been traveling outside for his uncle. Although he didn't know what he was busy with, the uncle had instructed him to invite him immediately as soon as the young man came, so Wang Damin didn't dare to neglect him and invited him in with a smile.

This young man was Wang Wenyan who defected to Wang An a few days ago. With Wang An's help, he had just donated money to become a prison student. When he dealt with people in the court in the future, he was finally no longer a commoner.

When Wang Wenyan was dealing with those technicians before, although they treated him with courtesy because of Wang An, he knew that even if he had no fame and fortune, he would not be able to see the eyes of those people even if he had the ability.

The former prisoner was even more incapable of showing off. He said that civilians were fine, but when he said that he had been a prisoner, those innocent people would not be able to avoid it.

Wang Wenyan has real skills. When he found out from a friend that Wang An likes to play chess, he deliberately learned it. He was extremely smart and after learning for a while, he could actually compete with Wang An's chess game. Every time Wang An returned to his private home, he would always call Wang Wenyan to kill for a few games.

Wang Wenyan is good at scrutinizing people's hearts and knows that Wang An as the attendant of the crown prince, he must be dissatisfied with Concubine Zheng. So inadvertently, he told Wang An that Concubine Zheng was a virtuous woman, who became arrogant because of her favor and became fierce because of her arrogance. If the crown prince ascended the throne in the future, he must be careful of her, because she would never give up.

In Wang Anxin's eyes, the person whom the people in the Eastern Palace feared the most was Concubine Zheng. Although the young master is now the crown prince, it is not stable. As long as Concubine Zheng is in one day and King Fu is not in one day, who can guarantee that things will not change?

Therefore, whether it is Wang An or Xiao Gong, he is not only afraid of the imperial concubine, but also always guarded against it.

Wang Wenyan was able to tell the mystery in one word, which made Wang An very satisfied.

Today, Wang Wenyan came to report to Wang An about the results of his relationship with those new Donglin champions in the past few days.

"How is Yang Lian?" Wang An was most concerned about Yang Lian, the "No. 1 honest official in the world" who he helped to get into Beijing.

Wang Wenyan thought for a while and said, "Prince, Yang Lian is a wise man in the world. He is dedicated to the country and does not care about the interests of the people. Wenyan believes that this person will definitely be a loyal minister in the future." He emphasized that he will be a loyal minister in the future.

Wang An understood what he meant, nodded slightly, and asked Zuo Guangdou, who was very popular recently.

"The Left Censor had the style of Hou Ji in ancient times. He was not afraid of the powerful and the traitors. He was a person who dared to act and acted as a wise man. Wen Yan thought that this person could be a minister in the future." This evaluation was a little higher than Yang Lian.

Wang An nodded slowly, without saying anything, but took the chessboard over and smiled at Wang Wenyan, "No more, let's accompany our family to kill a few games. These days in the East Palace, our family is very itchy."

Wang Wenyan laughed: "The prince has his own order, but Wenyan dares not obey the order."

At that moment, the two of them played the chess pieces and fought until late at night. They had a win or defeat. Overall, Wang An won one or two more games, which made Wang An in a great mood. He asked Wang Damin to set up the food and drinks, and he wanted to have a pot with Wang Wenyan.

Wang Wenyan was unlucky. During the meal, Wang An talked with him about the previous dynasty.

"During the Zhengde period, there was a censor named Jiang Qin in Nanjing who wrote a memorial to expose the traitor Liu Jin, who was beaten with thirty sticks. Just three days after he was released from prison, he submitted another memorial to impeach Liu Jin, and was beaten with thirty sticks. The beating of his legs was so bloody that the Jinyiwei asked him, would he dare to speak nonsense? Jiang Qin replied loudly that he would not die for one day and that he would be responsible for the censors in one day!"

Speaking of this, Wang An looked admiration, "In prison, Jiang Qin borrowed pens and ink from the prison guards several times and continued to impeach Liu Jin. Later, he was beaten with a stick and thirty sticks, and eventually died in prison. Lord Jiang wrote a memorial, our family still remembers a few words, saying to you, "My teacher and the thief Jin are incompatible. Your Majesty will not kill this thief, so you should kill the minister first; the envoy was able to travel underground with Bigan, the loyal minister of the Shang Dynasty. I really don't want to live with this thief!"

After saying that, he sighed and said with great emotion: "Literature Chinese, what a loyal minister said! ... Throughout history, there have been many loyal ministers who are not afraid of death, but the emperor now regards the crows as crows and scolds them for speaking ominously. In the long run, who dares to give advice?"

Wang An was moved. Wang Wenyan knew why he felt this, so he said, "I heard that there was a person who was not afraid of death in this dynasty, named Zou Yuanbiao. The chief assistant Zhang Juzheng's father refused to attend the funeral. Anyone who submitted memorials and impeached memorials were beaten with a court stick. There was Zhao and Ai in front of him, when Lord Zou went to the Huijimen to surrender. The eunuch on duty asked him, Lord Zou wanted to follow the footsteps of Zhao Ai? Lord Zou replied, "That's right!", but he was beaten the next day. I heard that he had injured his bones and still had a disability on his legs."

"It's true. You don't know that there is a minister in the classical Chinese who is also a tough guy. His burden is really big. He said that the emperor does not care about the life and death of the people, and the fish and meat are eroded to such an extent, why should the people bear the burden to the king? The emperor was furious and almost killed Lord Wang."

Wang Wenyan knew about these things because these two people were from the Donglin Party.

"Classic Chinese believes that if the country wants to be in great governance in the future, it is necessary for the wise man of Donglin to rule."

Wang Wenyan expressed his opinion. He was very confident in his judgment. The court is now in a big way, but there are three parties obstructing it. But that doesn’t matter. As long as the young master ascends the throne, with the relationship between the Donglin Party and the Donggong, you can even imagine what kind of scene will be in the court in the future.

As long as he, Wang Wenyan, holds Wang An's thighs firmly, then gets along with the Donglin Party members, and even becomes a liaison between the Donggong and the Donglin Party, then his wealth and glory will be expected in the future.

"Our family thinks the same way, otherwise, they won't ask you to go around Yang Zuo and the others." Wang An put down his wine glass and thought of a tricky trouble, thinking of him that Wang Wenyan might be able to give him some advice.

"After Wang Cairen's death, the eldest grandson of the emperor was always taken care of by the Crown Princess. But recently, Xi Li kept telling the young master that he would hand over the eldest grandson to her and ask her a distant relative to be the eldest grandson's companion. The crown princess was unwilling, Xi Li was in a difficult situation, and he wanted our family to decide. Classical Chinese, what should we do with this matter?"

"Prince, what's the matter difficult to decide?" Wang Wenyan didn't even think about it. "The Crown Princess is the main concubine, and he will also be the main palace in the future. If Xi Li is favored by the young master, he can only be the imperial concubine. The eldest grandson of the emperor is like the young master. Do you still want to compete for the foundation of the country in the future?"

"oh…"

Wang An was shocked and scolded himself for being confused. How could he hesitate to such a major matter? If the eldest grandson of the emperor was handed over to Xili to raise him, wouldn’t it be a big trouble if the crown princess had children in the future? At that time, would it be a chief or a legitimate?

"A word of classical Chinese awakens me. We will go to tell my uncle tomorrow that the emperor and the eldest grandson must not be handed over to Xili." Wang An made up his mind.

Seeing that his opinion was adopted by Wang An, Wang Wenyan was very happy. He stood up and poured wine for Wang An, and said, "Prince, I heard that the army of the closed door has changed. Your Majesty sent a young man to come?"

Wang An nodded and said, "Yes, our family heard from Eunuch Chen that it was a small case leader in the trial."

"Small case head?"

Wang Wenyan was stunned. This small case leader was a scholar who was famous. Why did the emperor send such a person to go? For such a big thing, not to say that he sent important officials, he should also send a great imperial court to the inner court. How could he call a small case leader?

Wang An saw that Wang Wenyan was confused and said lightly: "That small case was sponsored by the imperial concubine."

Wang Wenyan understood a little. It seemed that the leader of the small case was probably related to the Zheng family. The imperial concubine told the emperor to ask him to go, which was also paved the way for the Zheng family in disguise.

"But speaking of this, the leader of the small case is quite courageous. After all, the leader of the case is extremely dangerous. Most people don't have the courage." Wang An was very realistic and did not despise him because the leader of the small case was a member of the Zheng family.

"That's true."

Wang Wenyan agreed with Wang An's words, but felt a little disappointed. The change of change is dangerous, but wealth and honor are dangerous, and it is a great achievement if done well. Unfortunately, this kind of thing cannot fall on him.

"If you run under my door, I can't treat you badly." Wang An picked up the wine glass and glanced at Wang Wenyan, "I would like to say hello to Eunuch Chen, and how about I ask you to be a Zhongshu Shesan?"

"ah?"

Wang Wenyan was stunned at first, and then she felt ecstatic.

The Secretariat was originally the lowest official under the junior high school secretary of the State, and was in the seventh rank. However, since Taizu abolished the prime minister, the Secretariat became a idle position. He said he was an official, but not; he said he was not an official, so he said he was not an official. But no matter what, he could be a Secretariat, at least he was an official in public.

With an official position, everything you do is good.

"The great kindness of the prince, the classical Chinese will never be forgotten!"
