    Zhang Yong lay down outside the Dongnuan Pavilion and shouted respectfully, "Slave Zhang Yong, please bow to your master, long live the Lord. Piaotian Literature Network ()"

    When he heard that Li Dong summoned him late at night, Zhang Yong could not help but play drums in excitement. Li Dong rarely came to see him late at night. On the way here, the little eunuch who summoned him told Zhang Yong in a roundabout way that Wang Ping was here to see him, which made his master thunderous.  Dafa!

    "Get in!"

    Zhang Yong was stunned for a moment, and Li Dong's tone seemed unhappy.  He hurriedly walked into Dongnuang Pavilion with his head lowered. He glanced around and saw Wang Ping and Li Xiang standing next to Li Dong. Li Xiang was more normal and always looked like a carefree person. But for some reason, Wang Ping looked at him.  After seeing him, he looked embarrassed and seemed to be avoiding his gaze intentionally. Zhang Yong frowned and his heart trembled for no reason.

    Why does Wang Ping have that expression?  Could it be that he filed a lawsuit against Long Live Lord?  But he really couldn't think of anything that had offended Wang Ping recently.  Besides, he had a good relationship with Wang Ping when he was in the Boy Scout camp. In his heart, he still liked this kid who was about the same size as the emperor.  In the past, Wang Ping also respected him very much. Unlike many foreign officials in the court who regarded themselves as famous Neo-Confucian officials, they were polite to eunuchs like them on the surface, but in fact they looked down on them from the bottom of their hearts.

    But today Wang Ping¡¯s expression is so strange. Could it be that this seemingly upright young boy actually slandered himself in front of his master?

    Before he could think about it, he heard Li Dong say, "How did your errand go?"

    "As far as I'm concerned, it's all thanks to Master Hong Fu that the cleanup work in the palace has been basically arranged. There are only a few people who need to be reviewed, but Liu Jin has already spoken, and he guarantees those people!"

    "That's good." Li Dong suddenly sneered, "Eunuch Zhang, I guess all your adopted children and grandchildren are getting good jobs, right?"

    These words hit Zhang Yong on the head like a bolt from the blue. He was stunned for a moment, staring at Li Dong with a pale face, and for a moment he didn't know how to reply.

    Li Dong said in a serious tone, "I'm asking you something, Eunuch Zhang!"

    Zhang Yong came back to his senses, knelt on the ground with a "pop!" and said, "I am loyal to Lord Long Live. I always do things impartially. I only arranged for an adopted son to take charge of the war. This is also a report to Lord Long Live."  Damn it!" As he spoke, he cast his angry gaze at Wang Ping, who was looking even more embarrassed. "I don't know what kind of heartless villain chewed maggots in front of the master and slandered the slave!"

    Li Dong shouted, "Don't look at him! Who are you, Eunuch Zhang? He is in charge of the inner palace and has great power. I'm afraid you won't even take me seriously in some time, right?"

    Li Dong spoke so harshly that Zhang Yong couldn't stand it anymore and sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead. "The slave's love for his master can be seen in the sun and the moon! I don't know who made the false claims to frame the slave. I want to confront him face to face!"

    "Confrontation? Do you really think I have wronged you?"

    Zhang Yongke did not dare to confront Li Dong, so he hurriedly fell to the ground.

    "I dare not! The thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness, and I am willing to take the blame!"

    "It's a shame that I trust you so much, regard you as my confidant, and let you take charge of the purge affairs in the palace, you Zhang Yong! Is this how you repay my trust in you? I warned the eight of you when I first came to the throne.  , I didn¡¯t speak clearly enough at the beginning, or you didn¡¯t take my words seriously at all! Do you really think that I can¡¯t kill people after becoming the emperor?!¡±

    Zhang Yong was confused and couldn't ask questions. Listening to Li Dong's cold words and thinking about Li Dong's character, he sweated even more. He lay on the ground and trembled heavily.  He kowtowed to Li Dong and said, "Master, please calm down. I will go to the punishment department and get the imperial staff."

    "You get your own imperial staff? Who are you messing with? Those are your disciples and disciples. Who dares to really hit you?"

    Zhang Yong almost shed tears of grievance: "Long live my lord, please calm down. Whether it's beating or killing, I have no complaints. I'm stupid. You Just tell me what I did wrong."

    Looking at Zhang Yong's appearance, Li Dong became even more angry. After talking to himself for a long time, he felt aggrieved and was about to get angry.

    At this moment, Wang Ping also recovered from the previous embarrassment. Knowing that the commander-in-chief was confused by the eunuchs in the Military Staff Bureau who wanted money rather than their lives, he got angry at Zhang Yong, but what happened?  He still didn't know anything. Thinking about his relationship with Zhang Yong in the past, and looking at Li Dong's face, he hurriedly advised, "Commander, this matter has nothing to do with Eunuch Zhang. He doesn't know about that matter yet.  .¡±

    When Wang Ping said this, Li Dong's mind gradually became clearer. He was not an unreasonable person. Thinking about it, he rolled his eyes at Wang Ping angrily, then went up and kicked Wang Ping on the butt.  "Go away! At this time, you must remember to be a good person! What's wrong?I'll be the one to take charge!  "

    Wang Ping chuckled.

    "You're still laughing, you're covered in stinky sweat, you think it smells good! Go out and change your clothes, then go back to the barracks and get ready, you have nothing to do here!"

    "Yes, Marshal!" Wang Ping stood up and gave a military salute to Li Dong, then walked to Zhang Yong and said with a smile, "Old Zhang, we are old friends, but your adopted son is so unreasonable. He opened his mouth  They want five hundred taels of silver from me, which is the money I need to get a wife!" After saying this, Wang Ping walked out of Dongnuan Pavilion.

    Wang Ping explained the whole story clearly in a half-joking manner.

    Zhang Yong felt a mixture of emotions at this moment. On the one hand, he was grateful to Wang Ping for being so candid, speaking up for him, and telling him the reason for his incident. On the other hand, Zhang Yong hated Wang Ping. Why did you bring this matter to Li Dong?  It would be nice to tell myself directly, but now I am so passive!

    As soon as Wang Ping left, Li Dong's face became ugly again.

    "This is just one thing, Zhang Yong, what do you think we should do about this matter?"

    Hearing this, Zhang Yong felt vaguely that Li Dong was making a fuss out of a molehill. No official in the Ming Dynasty who had some power was so rich. Besides, he was much more restrained than Liu Jin, but why did Li Dong hold on to him alone?  Woolen cloth?  They both served Li Dong together. He, Zhang Yong, had served him for several more years than Liu Jin. Why should he favor one over the other?  I thought so in my heart, but I didn't dare to say it in my mouth. I suddenly had an expression of indignation on my face, and said angrily, "These slaves are really money-hungry. They will even risk their lives for a little money! I beg you, slave!"  With the permission of the master, the dog slaves from the Military Staff Bureau will be sent to the ancestral home of the Punishment Division."

    Zhang Yong¡¯s expression could be seen in Li Dong¡¯s eyes, and he couldn¡¯t help but feel disappointed. At this point, he was too lazy to explain anything to Zhang Yong.

    Li Dong narrowed his eyes, "Would you like a reward of twenty strokes or forty strokes? A beating or a beating with heart? Your Eunuch Zhang is a living Bodhisattva. He cannot be a villain and is not willing to be a villain. I am the one to be the villain. I am the military staff.  The eunuch Liu Zhong, who was in charge of the bureau, showed his head to the public, and the eunuch in charge of the treasury was driven out of the palace with tattoos on his face and was cast into a lowly status. The same happened to his relatives! All the eunuchs in the palace who have jade plaques came to watch the execution. I have something to say to them.  , you should remember it yourself, if anyone makes me unhappy, I will make him unhappy for the rest of his life, so get out!"

    Zhang Yong left Dongnuang Pavilion in disgrace, with a face ashen as death. After serving Li Dong for so long, he naturally knew what Li Dong's tone meant. Once they lose the trust of the emperor, they will be nothing.  It is the most realistic place. This time his adopted son died, which means that Zhang Yong has lost his power, and anyone will step on him in the future.

    Zhang Yong returned to his residence in despair and fell on the bed. Zhang Yong couldn't sleep that night. Zhang Yong got up very late the next day. After getting up, Zhang Yong already felt that something was wrong. In the past, he served the eunuch attentively and used  He looked at him with strange eyes. The news in the palace was transmitted really fast. In just one night, everyone already knew that Eunuch Zhang was evil to Long Live the Lord. Those eunuchs were avoiding him as if they were plague. Just yesterday, these  People even flattered him carefully, and Zhang Yong's heart was colder than the weather outside.

    His six brothers all sent people to bring him silver coins. At this time, Zhang Yongyong could not blame them. In this palace where people are cold and warm and the world is cold, they were doing their best to send people to him.

    What Zhang Yong didn¡¯t expect was that Liu Jin actually came to see him.

    Liu Jin put his hands behind his back, looking proud of himself.

    "Eunuch Zhang is so free, why don't you go to Long Live Master's place to be on duty?"

    Zhang Yongtie had a livid face and remained silent.

    Liu Jinchi smiled, "We remember that a few days ago, someone taught our family a lesson and told us to be careful and cautious. This Hahaha Life is really full of unpredictability, don't you think so, Eunuch Zhang?"

    Zhang Yong clenched his teeth, his eyes were red and bloodshot, and he clenched his fists.

    Looking at Zhang Yong¡¯s appearance, Liu Jin became even more proud.

    "Lao Zhang, we can be regarded as the chief of the ceremonial department in our family. You and I have been brothers for so many years, so it's not a problem to arrange your errand." Liu Jin looked at Zhang Yong with a smile as he spoke, waiting for Zhang Yong to ask him.  .

    ¡°Bah, Zhang Yong spit a thick mouthful of phlegm on the ground, ¡°I¡¯d rather go home and farm!¡±

    Liu Jin's face changed, "I don't know how to appreciate it!" Liu Jin's face turned pale, thinking about how to squeeze Zhang Yong to vent her hatred in the future.

    At this time, a young eunuch ran over quickly and coughed lightly, "Long live the Lord's oracle!"

    Liu Jin smiled slightly, leaned over and knelt down.

    Finally came, Zhang Yong¡¯s face was pale, without any blood at all, and he knelt down tremblingly.

    ??"I don't like tea made by others. Why don't you come on duty so late? Do you still want to receive this month's salary?"

    These words were like a slap on Liu Jin's face, and the smile suddenly froze on her face.

    Zhang Yong stood there blankly, tears falling uncontrollably. He stood up quickly, picked up the corner of his robe and ran towards Dongnuang Pavilion, leaving Liu Jin who was frightened. "The thoughts of this Long Live Lord are really hard to figure out."  through!"

    Zhang Yong entered Dongnuan Pavilion at a loss. Li Dong looked up at him. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he hadn't seen Zhang Yong all night, and there were actually white hairs on Zhang Yong's temples.

    Li Dong came to Dongnuang Pavilion this morning and found that Zhang Yong, who arrived earlier than him every time, was not here. He frowned, thinking that these eunuchs were really useless. He looked at the memorial with a livid face. He didn't know.  Why is today's memorial so obscure and difficult to understand? After reading it for a while, I couldn't stand it anymore. I picked up the teacup and found that the tea in the teacup was so bitter that it was hard to swallow. Li Dong usually likes to drink light tea, but these are all Zhang  Always waiting by your side.

    Li Dong held the tea cup and thought about Zhang Yong. Although Li Dong usually had few opportunities to communicate with Zhang Yong alone, Li Dong knew that Zhang Yong was loyal to him. He was also the only one among the eight eunuchs who knew martial arts.  Man, Li Dong's plan is to train Zhang Yong to be a greater eunuch than Zheng He.

    ¡°Is it true that what I said yesterday was a bit harsh? Is there something I should talk to him about?¡±  .  .

    "Slave Zhang Yong pays his respects to Lord Long Live!"

    "Make me a cup of tea!"

    "Yes, long live the Lord!" Zhang Yong quickly made a pot of tea and poured a cup for Li Dong. "Long live the Lord, be careful!"

    "Do you blame me?"

    Zhang Yong¡¯s hand trembled and the teapot almost fell to the ground. He knelt down in a hurry and said, ¡°I don¡¯t dare!¡±

    Li Dong smiled slightly and said loudly to the outside, "Zhang Hu, everyone who is not relevant should stay away!"

    Zhang Hu responded loudly outside, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

    Li Dong drank hot tea slowly, "Get up, your tea is good! I can't stand drinking tea made by others!"

    Zhang Yong stood up slowly and stood there with his body hunched over. Hearing Li Dong's words, his heart felt warm.

    "Do you think I don't know right from wrong? Liu Jin acted so arrogantly, but I gave him greater authority, and you just killed your adopted son because he made a small mistake, and you lost your face!  "

    Zhang Yong was stunned, "I don't dare!" Just as he was about to kneel down, he was supported by Li Dong.

    "There are some things I don't want to tell you, but you are my confidant. I'm afraid you may have a grudge in your heart, so it's better to explain it clearly!" As he said this, Li Dong dipped his finger into the teacup and dipped some tea, and then wrote six words on the desk.  The word 'Liu Jin, cut into pieces with a thousand swords'

    Zhang Yong looked at the bookcase in disbelief, and Li Dong wiped it with his hand, "What I warned you also applies to Liu Jin, but I will charge double the interest when the time comes!"

    Zhang Yong knelt down and kowtowed regardless, "You deserve to die, my servant. You should not doubt Lord Long Live! You don't have to tell me these confidential matters. You deserve to die, you deserve to die!"

    Li Dong helped Zhang Yong up again and smiled slightly: "When you finish your errands in the palace, go to Tianjin and help Chen Xin. I want to be a hero like Emperor Yongle. How can I not have Zheng He by my side! You and Liu Jin  No, he will be infamy for eternity, but you will go down in history! Your name will be with me, and you will be worshiped by people from generation to generation!"

    This was the first time that Zhang Yong heard Li Dong¡¯s ardent hope for him. Not only did his eyes well up with tears, but he choked with sobs, ¡°Slave Thank you so much for your cultivation!¡±
