While Zhou Zhong and Wang Lun were talking about Ashikaga Ikki and his envoys, Wu Shan also arranged for Ashikaga Ikki and the others to live in a large mansion not far from the imperial city, and his Jin Yiwei were also in the mansion.

They live nearby and no one is allowed to come near here. If Ashikaga Ikki and the others have any needs, they can only go through Kinyiwei.

After arranging for Ashikaga Ikki, Wu Shan immediately went to the Fusi Yamen in the North Town of Jinyiwei alone and asked to see his immediate boss Qian Ning. Qian Ning was not originally named Qian, but he changed his surname because he was adopted by the eunuch Qian Neng when he was young.

For money, Qian Neng later passed away and was grateful to his family, so Qian Ning entered the Jinyiwei and became a member of a large or small family.

Qian Ning himself learned a lot of martial arts, especially good at riding and shooting. In addition, he was shrewd, so he quickly fell in love with Liu Jin, who was very proud of his career at that time, and met Emperor Zhengde through Liu Jin. As a result, Emperor Zhengde, who was very martial arts, met Qian Ning.

After learning martial arts, he immediately felt that he was too late to meet him, so he accepted him as his adopted son on the spot, and promoted him to the rank of Jinyiwei Qianhu, dedicated to working for himself. It can be said that no one has the authority except Emperor Zhengde.

Conducted by Qian Ning.

It is precisely because of Zhengde's appreciation that Qian Ning quickly became a special being among the Jinyiwei. He had confidants like Wu Shan to help him, and he did not take anyone seriously. Even Liu Jin, who recommended him in the first place,

He was only respectful on the surface, but he didn't give him any face behind his back. This incident made Liu Jin very angry at the time, and he scolded Qian Ning for being ungrateful. Unfortunately, Qian Ning was deeply trusted by Emperor Zhengde at the time, and Liu Jin continued to scold him.

, but I didn’t dare to do anything to Qian Ning.

Later, Liu Jin fell. Although Qian Ning was also one of Liu Jin's nominal party members, he was named and saved by Emperor Zhengde. He was also promoted to the commander of the Jinyi Guards again, in charge of the entire Jinyi Guards, and although he was a foreign minister

, but he could enter and leave the Leopard Room at will, and he was always inseparable from Emperor Zhengde. As long as the ministers saw Qian Ning in the palace, they knew that Emperor Zhengde must be nearby. Since Liu Jin's fall, Qian Ning has become the most popular among Emperor Zhengde.

People you trust!

Speaking of which, Qian Ning and Liu Jin have very similar personalities. They are both very obedient in front of Zhengde, but they are arrogant and domineering outside. For example, Dongchang originally had the responsibility of supervising Jin Yiwei, but after Qian Ning took charge of Jin Yiwei, he instead

Dongchang was suppressed under him, but Dongchang's eunuch Zhang Rui didn't even dare to fart, and he usually didn't dare to disobey Qian Ning's orders at all.

It's a pity that although Qian Ning is trusted by Emperor Zhengde, he is not a eunuch after all, and it is impossible to sit on the position of a eunuch. Therefore, although Qian Ning is in charge of the royal guards, he is not as powerful as Liu Jin. At most, he is a middle-level and low-level eunuch.

Some officials are more afraid of him, but ministers like Li Dongyang can still not give Qian Ning face.

Generally speaking, Qian Ning stayed in the Leopard Room to accompany Zhengde every afternoon. However, he had received news from Wu Shan a few days ago and knew that he would be back this afternoon, so he deliberately did not enter the palace today and stayed here.

Waiting for Wu Shan.

In Qian Ning's study at Fusi Yamen in Beizhen, Wu Shan was reporting to him what he had seen and heard when he was with Zhou Zhong, as well as their experiences along the way, etc. Qian Ning was sitting behind the table and listening very seriously.

, from time to time, he would interrupt Wu Shan to ask a few questions, and every time he would ask the key points, which made Wu Shan admire his boss's ability quite a bit.

After Qian Ning learned about Wu Shan's experience of staying by Zhou Zhong's side for the past year, he stood up and said: "Wu Shan, you have done a good job. Now you can follow me into the palace. Your Majesty is also waiting for our report."

"Now?" Wu Shan looked out the window in surprise. Just when he reported, the sun had already set and the whole sky had darkened. It is estimated that the palace doors are closed now, and they will not be able to enter the palace at this time.

City?

Qian Ning naturally knew what Wu Shan was thinking, and said calmly: "Just follow me. There is no place in Beijing that Qian cannot enter!"

Hearing the tone of Qian Ning's words, Wu Shan was also shocked. He suddenly remembered that the Mr. Qian in front of him was not a good-tempered person like Zhou Zhong. He hated people questioning his ability the most, and he spent too much time with Zhou Zhong.

As time went by, my speech became a bit casual. Unexpectedly, I had violated the other party's taboo without even realizing it.

Thinking of this, Wu Shan almost broke out in a cold sweat, but fortunately he reacted quickly. He took a step forward and said with a forced smile: "The commander has misunderstood. I just got some special seasonings and ingredients from Master Zhou.

In addition, it’s so late, so I invited you to dinner. I didn’t expect that your official business comes first and you still worry about entering the palace to report to His Majesty so late. It really makes me feel ashamed!”

Hearing Wu Shan's obviously flattering words, Qian Ning smiled, walked to Wu Shan and patted his shoulder and said: "Wu Shan, you are a smart man. You must pay more attention to what you say and do in the future. Wait until Mr. Zhou is here."

After understanding the things at hand, I would like to recommend to Your Majesty that maybe it won’t be that difficult to become a minister or a colleague in the future!"

"Thank you, Commander, for the promotion!" Wu Shan said with excitement on his face. Looking at him, he seemed to be really looking forward to the upcoming promotion. However, no one knew that Wu Shan felt a little uninterested at this time, which he had not done before.

I don't think so, but seeing Qian Ning again and what happened just now, Wu Shan suddenly felt that instead of staying in the capital as a high-ranking official on thin ice, he would be better off doing his own business in Shuangyu Port freely, at least there he wouldn't have to.

I am worried that a casual remark will offend someone, which will make me miserable.

Wu Shan followed Qian Ning out of Fusi Yamen in Beizhen, then mounted his horse and galloped towards the imperial city. When he arrived at the gate of the imperial city, as he expected, the gate of the imperial city had been locked, but Qian Ning never

After taking out his badge from his waist, the imperial guard on the city immediately opened the gate to let him go. This shocked Wu Shan. It seemed that after Liu Jin's fall, Qian Ning's power also increased rapidly. As a

It is simply incredible that a foreign official could enter and exit the imperial city at night.

After entering the imperial city, Wu Shan followed Qian Ning to the Leopard Room where Emperor Zhengde lived. This was the home that Emperor Zhengde built for himself. Here he could play as he wanted without abiding by the rules of the inner palace.

At this time, the sky was completely dark. Emperor Zhengde was having too much fun today. Gu Da urged him to have dinner several times, but he refused. So after waiting until now, Zhu Houzhao felt a little hungry.

Gu Dayong was asked to order people to prepare dinner. As soon as he sat down to eat, Qian Ning came with Wu Shan.

If it were anyone else, Gu Dayong would definitely block him from entering, but Qian Ning, like him, was the most trusted person of Emperor Zhengde, so Gu Dayong did not dare to neglect and hurried in to report, and Qian Ning was immediately summoned.

, Wu Shan was waiting outside the palace gate for the time being, and he could only go in when he was allowed in.

Originally, Wu Shan thought that he would have to wait a long time to be summoned. After all, Qian Ning had already asked about his experience before, and also had a clear understanding of Zhou Zhong's character. He would only need to report to His Majesty then. Of course, the biggest

The credit for his work will also be recorded on Qian Ning's head. After all, who would let someone be his boss? At most, he could just be summoned at the end and answer a few questions raised by His Majesty.

However, Wu Shan guessed wrong this time. Not long after Qian Ning entered, he was informed by the eunuch in the palace that His Majesty wanted to summon him. Wu Shan was also surprised. He straightened his clothes and lowered his head.

Walking into the main hall, he shouted long live and saluted, and then he heard the strange voice of Emperor Zhengde saying: "Wu Shan, you don't have to be polite. There are no outsiders in the hall. Just stand up straight and answer!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" This was not the first time for Wu Shan to see Emperor Zhengde, and he naturally knew something about his temperament. He stood up and looked up, only to find that the Emperor of Heaven was sitting on the seat holding a piece of pig's trotters and chewing Zhengxiang.

He didn't look like an emperor at all. No wonder his voice was so weird just now. It turned out that his mouth was full of food.

Seeing Wu Shan stand up, Emperor Zhengde did not rush to ask him. Instead, he gnawed the pig's trotters in his hands very clean, then wiped his hands and said: "Wu Shan, tell me what you have been in contact with Zhou Chong this year."

Tell me your experience in detail, remember, I want to hear it in detail, no matter how big or small it is, as long as it is about Zhou Zhong, you have to tell it all, no matter how big or small!"

Hearing Zhengde speaking to him in a commanding tone, Wu Shan was also shocked. He stood up straight and started from when he arrived at Songjiang Mansion, and then how to enter the Zhou Mansion to gain Zhou Zhong's trust, and to transfer the Zhou Mansion during that time.

The tragic situation of the city was also told, as well as the fact that Zhou Zhong still did not forget to work hard to rescue the victims outside the city.

Wu Shan and Zhou Zhong have known each other for a year. During this year, he has been secretly observing Zhou Zhong, so he also knows Zhou Zhong's affairs very well. Now he needs to tell everything in detail, which will naturally cost a lot of money.

It has been a long time, and Wu Shan has not only not eaten dinner, but has not even drank any water, so after talking for a while, he felt that his throat was about to smoke.

Fortunately, Emperor Zhengde was very considerate of Wu Shan. When he heard that his voice was wrong, he immediately asked someone to bring tea to Wu Shan. At that moment, Wu Shan hurriedly stopped and took a few sips. Only then could he insist on telling all the things that had happened in the past year, and finally updated the story.

It talks about how Zhou Zhong racked his brains to prepare gifts for His Majesty the Emperor, and finally got all the gifts ready. In order to show his ability, Wu Shan even recited the gift list in front of Zhengde in advance.

"Interesting! It's really interesting!" Emperor Zhengde clapped his hands and laughed after hearing this. "The gifts given to me by others are either gold and silver treasures or rare antiques, but this is the first time I have seen someone make a cannon."

It’s a gift for me, and there are two kinds of food crops, which makes me really want to meet this Zhou Zhong right away!” (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
