"It went well!"
You Chi smiled and said, "The person Zhang Jing sent is called Zhang Quan, a nephew of Zhang Jing's family. He is deeply trusted by Zhang Jing.
From what he said, it seems that Zhang Jing is very anxious. "
Zhang Juzheng nodded and said with a smile, "Of course he is anxious. Zhang Jing is not Feng Bao."
As the Factory Supervisor of Dongchang after Feng Bao's death, Zhang Jing did not have the same confidence as Feng Bao. After all, Feng Bao was deeply trusted by Queen Dowager Li, and he was also a minister in charge of imperial decrees. At the same time, he was also the eunuch in charge of the Department of Rites and the admiral of Dongchang.
Zhang Juzheng knew that Zhang Jing did not have the full trust of Queen Dowager Li. At the same time, he was not a minister in charge of imperial decrees.
As the eunuch in charge of the Department of Rites, the admiral of Dongchang could not be compared to Feng Bao. No matter how you looked at it, the difference between Zhang Jing and Feng Bao was not small.
In the palace, there were many people who could compete with Zhang Jing.
There was no need to talk about Zhang Hong. As the eunuch in charge of the Department of Rites, he had the most seniority and power in the palace.
Besides Zhang Hong, there was also Zhang Cheng!
Zhang Cheng could not be compared to Zhang Hong, but he could be compared to Zhang Jing. He was also the eunuch in charge of the Department of Rites and the admiral of imperial horses.
In the past, when Feng Bao was still around, Zhang Cheng did not dare to do anything. He could only tuck his tail between his legs. Now that Feng Bao was dead, Zhang Cheng was not afraid of Zhang Jing.
No matter how you looked at it, Zhang Jing urgently needed to stabilize his position. Asking for outside help was also expected.
"Let's test the waters first!"
Zhang Juzheng thought for a while and decided to set a tone for the time being. Although he had some contact with Zhang Jing, people changed. Who knew what kind of person Zhang Jing would become after he became the General Manager of Dongchang?
What Zhang Juzheng wanted was an ally in the palace, not an arrogant and despotic eunuch.
Looking at the sky, Zhang Juzheng said, "It's getting late. You should go and rest!"
The next morning, Zhu Yijun didn't get up early. He looked at the sky outside and found that it was gloomy again. It seemed like it was going to snow, so he was a little annoyed.
It was said that snow was a sign of bountiful harvest, but too much snow wasn't a good thing either.
"Prepare some porridge in the morning, I want to eat porridge!" Zhu Yijun ordered Chen Ju, who was beside him, as the palace maid helped him put on his clothes.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Chen Ju replied respectfully.
In the afternoon, the snow didn't fall, but the wind blew. The cold wind blew yesterday's snow, giving people a feeling of wind and snow.
It was already gloomy, and with the wind blowing, the weather became even colder.
Zhu Yijun asked people to prepare hot pot, and he was going to have hot pot with his mother's family in the evening.
However, when Zhu Yijun was going to the Palace of Compassionate Peace, Wu Qingbo and Li Wei came.
Seeing Wu Qingbo, Li Wei's face was red from the cold, and his body was shivering. Zhu Yijun had no idea where the wind had come from, but quite a few snowflakes had fallen on his beard. Zhu Yijun was startled. What was a grandfather doing here on such a cold day?
"Have a seat and serve hot tea!"
Zhu Yijun looked at Wu Qingbo and Li Wei, and ordered Chen Ju, who was beside him, "Ask the imperial kitchen to cook a bowl of ginger soup!"
After instructing Chen Ju, Zhu Yijun said to Wu Qingbo and Li Wei, "Grandfather, what's wrong with you?
Why did you come to the palace in this weather?
Be careful, if you catch a cold, mother will be worried again. "
Li Wei waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's nothing, this official's body is very strong!"
Although he said so, Li Wei still held the hot tea bowl and took a sip. After a while, his face became ruddy. After drinking the ginger soup sent by the imperial kitchen, Li Wei finally recovered, and it was obvious that he was quite cold.
"Your Majesty!"
After recovering, Li Wei impatiently took out something from his bosom, "Your Majesty, please take a look!"
It was an oval mirror with a yellow rosewood frame. The handle was long and slender, and there was a phoenix carved on it.
The phoenix's tail was at the bottom, and the phoenix's head was at the top. This was a phoenix head glass mirror, and it looked very beautiful and exquisite.
The corner of Zhu Yijun's mouth twitched. On one hand, he praised his grandfather's business acumen, but on the other hand, he felt that it was a pity for this yellow rosewood.
His grandfather did a good job of packaging the mirror and selling it at a high price, but Zhu Yijun always felt that this glass mirror with a yellow rosewood frame was a bit strange.
What was the cost of a glass mirror, and what was the price of a yellow rosewood wood? This was buying a stalk and returning the pearl!
"Ever since I returned to the residence, this official had the craftsmen study it and finally made it."
"This yellow rosewood glass mirror was specially made by this official. If Your Majesty feels that there is no problem, then this official is prepared to give this mirror to the Empress Dowager." Li Wei said with a smile, and his face was full of expectation.
Zhu Yijun was speechless. This grandfather of his was really greedy!
No wonder he ran into the palace in this kind of weather. This clearly showed that he was preparing to sell the mirror, and he was in a hurry.
However, since the mirror was made, he could just sell it. Zhu Yijun had no objections.
"Very good, this is very good!" Zhu Yijun nodded with a smile.
"However, we feel that grandfather wants to give the mirror to Empress Mother. It is not good to directly give it to her."
Zhu Yijun looked at Wu Qingbo and Li Wei and said, "It is best to have a grand occasion for it to be appropriate."
Li Wei's eyes darted around, and he nodded and said, "This is indeed the case. Giving something out should let people know!"
"We will soon be at the end of the year. As the Empress Dowager, it is also in accordance with the rules to summon the Honours and the wives and daughters of the officials."
Zhu Yijun suggested a bad idea to Li Wei, "It is also reasonable to ask if each family has any difficulties."
Li Wei clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Good idea. When I go back, I will let my wife enter the palace."
His grandfather was really smart in this aspect. Of course, this kind of thing was most suitable for his grandmother.
When those women saw such a mirror, it would be impossible not to sell it.
"Prepare enough goods and set a good price. When the time comes, we will definitely make a lot of money." Zhu Yijun said with a smile.
Li Wei nodded. He now admired his nephew, the emperor, from the bottom of his heart, especially in terms of making money.
Thinking about the large amount of money he could earn from selling the mirror, Li Wei felt a little restless.
After waiting for a long time, Li Wei left. He did not even go to the Palace of Compassionate and Peaceful, as if he was wearing rabbit shoes.
In the evening, Zhu Yijun accompanied his mother to eat hot pot, and then went to the Palace of Heavenly Purity to rest.
It was freezing cold, and he exercised indoors for fear of catching a cold. Zhu Yijun did not want to get sick.
The next day, Mrs. Wu Qingbo entered the palace and directly stayed in the palace. Then there came the sound of the Empress Dowager summoning the Honours and relatives of the officials.
Zhu Yijun couldn't help but sigh. His grandfather was really concerned about making money.
