(PS: I have run out of manuscripts, and I am entangled in trivial matters, so the update is late. Please forgive me. Continue to ask for tickets and collections.)
"Immortal blessings will last forever, and life will be equal to the heavens?" Although Wei Zhongxian didn't know a lot of words, but he was used to listening to compliments after staying with Zhu Youxiao, Emperor Zong of the Ming Dynasty for a long time, so he understood the words of Young Master Zhang after a little thought. the meaning of.At that moment Wei Zhongxian said with a smile: "Monkey boy, your mouth really pleases our family. Get up, come and set up a seat for the undergraduate."

"Thank you nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years old for bestowing the seat. Long live the emperor and live forever. Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years old will always be healthy." Young master Zhang didn't blush, he opened and closed his mouth full of flattery, and kowtowed and said: "But there is one more thing for late students. I have to ask the nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine-year-old to forgive me, and I dare to wake up later."

"Monkey boy, are you still flirting with our family? Tell me, what's the matter?" Wei Zhongxian said with a smile.Young Master Zhang kowtowed heavily, and said with shame: "On February 99th, the late student was in a hurry to take the exam. Not only did he bump into the 99-year-old sedan chair, but he also knocked the 99-year-old and the 99-year-old Treated as two people, uttered big words in front of the father-in-law, arrogant and unscrupulous, and hoped to be severely punished at the age of nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine. —— But Wansheng wants to make a statement, in Wansheng’s hometown, we all respectfully call you father-in-law nine thousand ninety-nine You are 99 years old, that's why you, father-in-law, and [-]-year-old are regarded as two people by late birth, and it is absolutely not intentional disrespect to [-]-year-old."

"Forget it." Wei Zhongxian said with a smile: "Monkey boy, it's really easy to talk—if our family really wants to punish you, we can kill you that day! But you said in front of our family that you can hit the front The three of you have done it, you monkey bastard has the ability, get up, forget about it."

"Thank you nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years old for your magnanimity. Your Majesty will live forever, and Eunuch Wei will always be healthy." Young Master Zhang kowtowed again, then stood up, but he still didn't dare to sit down. Yang Liuqi and the other six bowed their hands and said modestly: "Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years old, so many adults don't have a seat here, where does Wansheng dare to sit? Wansheng only wants to be able to stand at the bottom of the adults, and he is satisfied."

"Monkey boy, you're quite careful." Wei Zhongxian smiled again, waved his hand and said, "Everyone sit down, everyone sit down."

"Thank you nine thousand years old." Cui Chengxiu and the others agreed together and took their seats separately. Our young master Zhang waited for all six of them to sit down before sitting down at the bottom of their seats. Although this move was deliberately flattering, it also made Cui Chengxiu He Tianji and other Wei Zhongxian's buddies feel at ease.It was only at this moment that our young master Zhang had the opportunity to look at Wei Zhongxian carefully, and was able to witness the true face of this famous eunuch who has shocked the world and has been around for thousands of years-it is completely different from Wei Zhongxian in the movies and TV shows in Manyi, the real one. Wei Zhongxian's appearance is still full of regularity, his appearance is thin, his face is full of wrinkles, and when he smiles, he still has the air of a kind-hearted old farmer.Young Master Zhang couldn't help but nodded secretly, thinking to himself that this is right, if Wei Zhongxian really looks like the villainous face on TV, it would be no wonder that the emperor would trust him.

"Zhang Tanhua, our family seems to have sent someone to tell you not to come to meet our family before the palace test, why did you forget?" Wei Zhongxian said, "It's not that our family doesn't want to see you, it's just that the palace test is coming soon. The emperor will personally test your knowledge. Before that, you have worshiped under our family. Our family has to avoid suspicion in front of the emperor. It is not easy to praise you. If the gangsters of the Donglin Party catch you It will be even more troublesome."

"The palace examination? What is the palace examination?" Young Master Zhang was stunned for a moment, but he didn't dare to ask, so he put the matter aside for the time being, and answered with cupped hands: "I am nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years old. It's not that the late student doesn't want nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years old's favor, but that the late student really wants to ask the nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine-year-old's opinion, so he rashly visits the door. A hundred and ninety-nine-year-old forgiveness."

"Oh, what's the matter?" Wei Zhongxian asked curiously.Young Master Zhang left his seat and bowed down, and asked respectfully: "I wonder if you are nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years old, do you still remember? On that day, the late student said before the nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine-year-old, that once the late student was in the top three in high school, the first thing he did was invite him Long live, build a shrine for the 99th year old, and commend your immortal achievements at the 99th year old."

"Remember." Wei Zhongxian smiled until his eyes narrowed into a line.Young Master Zhang smiled even happier, raised the wooden box in his arms over his head, and explained: "To be honest, I am nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years old. In fact, Wansheng has never forgotten this matter, and he has never dared to forget it for a moment. Coincidentally, there are four examiners who were born later today." The teacher went to Wansheng's residence for a short time, and each wrote a memorial to impeach Donglin's traitorous party. Wansheng saw that their diction was gorgeous and vigorous, so he boldly invited Zhang Ruitu, Wang Zhijian, Chen Youzhong, and Li Biao to write for Jiusheng. At the age of nine hundred and ninety-nine, they respectively wrote an inscription on the Shengci Temple."

"Zhang Ruitu? Wang Zhijian?" Wei Zhongxian was a little surprised, and asked, "Why did they come to you to write a memorial to impeach Donglin traitors?"

"Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine-year-old Mingjian, this is how it happened." Young master Zhang finally seized the opportunity to forgive the pain, and sent people from the Donglin party censor to monitor him, Xiao Chuan's warning, Zhang Ruitu and others got witness evidence when they visited, etc. After going through the matter in detail, he finally said: "Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years old, from Wansheng's point of view, the inscriptions written for you by the four mentors are very good, and it is difficult to distinguish between them. So Wansheng dared to visit, I would like to invite the nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine-year-old to read these four inscriptions in the Shengci Temple, which one is more useful?"

"Oh, so it is like this." Wei Zhongxian suddenly realized, angry and happy at the same time, said: "Monkey boy, it's rare that you think of being loyal to our family in everything, and it's no wonder that the traitorous officials and thieves of the Donglin Party hate you to the bone Don't blame Xiao Chuan, that monkey boy was sent out on business immediately after he came back from you that day, and he hasn't returned to Beijing yet, so he didn't have time to report it to our family. But it doesn't matter, since Zhang Ruitu and the others got it If the facts are true, then our family will definitely vent this bad breath for you, and we will definitely make Wang Qia's gang of thieves unable to survive or die! Let them never dare to secretly monitor you from now on."

"Thank you nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years old." Young Master Zhang kowtowed again.Wei Zhongxian smiled again and said, "Little monkey boy, since your four masters have written the inscriptions on the ancestral temple for our family, let's present them to our family to have a look. Monkey boy, I really don't know what you are in a hurry for? You I came to visit our family today, in front of the emperor, our family must demote your official position by at least two levels, otherwise, our family will be charged with nepotism."

"Lansheng only wants to be able to work like a dog and a horse for the age of 99, not to mention the size of the official position, even if his body is broken, he will not hesitate." There is a little sincerity in Master Zhang's sentence - he was rejected when he first entered the official career. If Wei Zhongxian raises it too high, it will not only attract fire from the Donglin Party spokesperson Yushi, but also attract the jealousy and hatred of Wei Zhongxian's party members.

Although Wei Zhongxian couldn't understand almost a single word of the Shengci inscription written by the four of Zhang Ruitu, Wei Zhongxian was so happy that he couldn't even close his mouth when he saw the beautiful characters in the four chapters.In a very good mood, Wei Zhongxian even rarely said: "It's very good, everything is good, put it down and let our family take a closer look, let's talk about it later. It's getting late, Zhang Tanhua, since you are here, don't worry Let's go back, stay and have dinner with our family." After that, Wei Zhongxian didn't wait for Young Master Zhang to refuse to thank him, and directly ordered: "Come here, set up a banquet, our family must treat Zhang Tanhua well."

After a while, the banquet was set up, Wei Zhongxian naturally sat at the head, our young master Zhang took the initiative to grab the last seat, and respectfully invited the five tigers of the Wei Party and Wei Zhongxian's son-in-law Yang Liuqi to take their seats, Cui Chengxiu and the other five tigers of the Wei Party were polite but cold in heart Hmph, "Even if you have winks, if you dare to be domineering in front of us, even if Nine Thousand Years spoils you again, we won't sit down." And our Young Master Zhang didn't sit down until all the five tigers of the Wei Party and Yang Liuqi sat down. Only then did he sit down respectfully.He took the initiative to grab the flagon and poured wine for Wei Zhongxian and others in turn.

Eating with Wei Zhongxian is definitely not a happy thing. You have to carefully pour wine and food for Wei Zhongxian and the five tigers of the Wei Party from time to time, and you have to keep answering strange questions from Wei Zhongxian and others. I dare not neglect anyone—if our young master Zhang hadn't often served the secretary and mayor for dinner when he was a civil servant in his previous life, I'm afraid we really couldn't handle it.But still the same sentence, although our Young Master Zhang is ignorant, but at least he has more than 300 years of experience than Wei Zhongxian and others, and has experienced a period of time in the officialdom of the 21st century, so his performance during the banquet was quite chic, It left a good impression on Wei Zhongxian and the head of the Wei Party.

When Young Master Zhang's witty words made Wei Zhongxian and others laugh out loud, two familiar shouts suddenly sounded from outside the hall, "Father (uncle), we are back. Why, are there any guests at home today?" Hearing this The sound, Young Master Zhang looked back in surprise, only to see two brothers Fu Yingxing and Wei Liangqing crossing their shoulders, yelling and entering the living room.Young Master Zhang was taken aback and called out, "Brother Wei, Brother Fu, why are you here?"

"Huh, Brother Zhang?" Wei Liangqing and Fu Yingxing also recognized Young Master Zhang.Wei Liangqing also exclaimed: "Brother Zhang, why are you still asking me? Why are you at my house?"

"This is your home?" Young Master Zhang was a little dumbfounded.At this time, Wei Zhongxian also spoke very strangely, "Zhang Tanhua, how do you know our son and nephew?"

"Brother Wei and Brother Fu are nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine-year-old nephews?" Young Master Zhang wiped his cold sweat.Wei Zhongxian nodded, then turned to Wei Liangqing and Fu Yingxing and shouted, "You two little monkeys, since you know Zhang Tanhua, why don't you tell Zhang Tanhua who you are?"

"Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years old, please don't blame the two young masters." Young Master Zhang hurriedly explained: "It was Wansheng who deliberately didn't ask the identities of Brother Wei and Brother Fu, because from Wansheng's point of view, making friends with each other is important. When I first met Brother Wei and Brother Fu, no matter what their identities are, Wan Sheng has made friends with them."

"Oh, that's right, the most precious is the poor and humble." Wei Zhongxian was moved by Young Master Zhang's words, and he couldn't help sighing: "I think back then, our family was so poor that we didn't even have the money to buy a pair of trousers, so we entered the palace... …After the prosperity, our family doesn’t read anything else but the friends and relatives when we were poor. That’s why we adopt the son of the deceased elder brother and become our own son, the son of our sister’s family, and our family also Treat him like your own son. Your monkey cub is very similar to our family, and our family likes it very much."

"Thank you nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years old for your compliment." Young Master Zhang blushed a little rarely.Wei Zhongxian laughed, and asked curiously: "By the way, how did you three monkeys know each other? Where did you meet?"

Wei Zhongxian's question made Young Master Zhang, Wei Liangqing and Fu Yingxing all dumbfounded - if they frankly said that they met in a brothel playing ice and fire Jiuchongtian, wouldn't it stimulate some sensitive nerves of Wei Zhongxian?So all of a sudden, even our eloquent Young Master Zhang lost his mind and didn't know how to answer, let alone Wei Liangqing and Fu Yingxing.Fortunately, Wei Zhongxian saw the embarrassment of his nephew and nephew, so he smiled and said: "The three monkey cubs definitely didn't meet when they were doing good things! Forget it, who didn't do ridiculous things when they were young? If you don't want to say, then Just stop talking."

"Thank you nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years old." Young Master Zhang wiped off his cold sweat.The same is true for Wei Liangqing and Fu Yingxing over there, and they both thanked them.But in this way, Wei Zhongxian, who already admired Young Master Zhang's "talent and learning" very much, got closer to our Young Master Zhang, and couldn't help but said: "Monkey boy, since you are commensurate with our son, nephew and brother, then you will also Don't call our family 99 years old, it's a mouthful, just call our family godfather."

"Wei Zhongxian's godfather?" Young Master Zhang was dizzy, thinking that he couldn't do it, right?If I call Wei Zhongxian a godfather, then in the history books of TV dramas, I will not be scolded bloody?Over there, Wei Zhongxian also said that our young master Zhang was dizzy with joy, so he said to himself: "It's lucky for you, my son, after Wei Liangqing, there are many godsons in our family, all of them are either rich or noble. The most official among them is Gu Bingqian, the current chief minister of the cabinet. Now that you recognize our family as a godfather, you will soon have a court chief minister as a brother, haha, hahaha... "

"Congratulations to Zhang Tanhua, congratulations to Zhang Tanhua." Cui Chengxiu and others congratulated Young Master Zhang one after another, but they were full of jealousy and jealousy, and they all cursed our Young Master Zhang's luck in their hearts—what a fucking thief!And our young master Zhang couldn't help but kneel down in front of Wei Zhongxian helplessly, kowtowed and said: "Boy Zhang Haogu, please greet godfather! May the emperor live forever and godfather will always be healthy." He kowtowed to Wei Liangqing and Fu Yingxing and said: " Brother and cousin, please be respected by my younger brother."

In all fairness, Wei Zhongxian was definitely the most loyal person to Ming Xi Zong Zhu Youxiao in the Ming Dynasty, so Young Master Zhang kept putting Ming Xi Zong before Wei Zhongxian, Wei Zhongxian was even more joyful, and said with a smile: "Monkey boy, get up, you recognized it today Let's be godfather, how about godfather rewarding you?" Over there, Wei Liangqing and Fu Yingxing also happily greeted Young Master Zhang to get up—these two guys are really happy to have such a rich and generous brother as Young Master Zhang, You don't have to worry about prostitution anymore.

"Godfather, my son wants to ask godfather for something." Young Master Zhang finally seized an opportunity and hurriedly set a trap.Wei Zhongxian smiled and said, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Xiong Tingbi." Young Master Zhang said cautiously.Before the words were finished, several of Wei Zhongxian's buddies had already changed their expressions. Wei Zhongxian himself was furious and snorted coldly, "Why are you mentioning Xiong Tingbi? Do you want to intercede for Xiong Tingbi?"

"Godfather misunderstood." Seeing Wei Zhongxian's anger, young master Zhang hurriedly threw out the escape route he had prepared, kowtowed and said, "I don't want to intercede for Xiong Tingbi, but just want to learn from Xiong Tingbi how to use soldiers. Right now, slavery offenders, Liaodong is in dire straits, children are not talented, and I want to learn some military skills from the famous generals of this dynasty, so that in the future, I can help my godfather wipe out Jiannu and make meritorious service in killing the enemy."

"Oh, so that's the case." Wei Zhongxian was skeptical, and asked again: "Then there are countless famous generals in this dynasty, why did you choose Xiong Tingbi who is currently on death row?"

"Because I've heard people say it." Young Master Zhang explained: "Since I started the war with Jiannu in the Ming Dynasty, Xiong Tingbi has won the most battles. I think this Xiong Tingbi must be very good at dealing with Jiannu, so I thought of asking him." Learn the art of war strategy."

Wei Zhongxian pondered for a long time before shaking his head and said: "Xiong Tingbi is a prisoner on death row. It is not appropriate for you to learn the art of war from him. If you really want to learn, after your imperial examination, our family will put you next to Sun Chengzong and let you Go and learn from him." Young Master Zhang had no choice but to kowtow joyfully to thank him, while Young Master Zhang murmured in his heart, where exactly did Xiong Tingbi offend Wei Zhongxian, and why Wei Zhongxian was so hostile to him?And this palace test, what's going on?
