He Liu's words made Zhang Jing sweat in a cold sweat.

Fifty years of life in the imperial examination made He Liu develop a habit: he should keep a hand in the person he trusts no matter how much he trusts.

Although Liu Shouyou used more than 20 years of forbearance to win He Liu's trust, He Liu still sent his eyes and ears to secretly monitor Liu Shouyou. Therefore, he knew that Liu Shouyou had been very close to Zhang Jing recently.

However, He Liu did not know that Liu and Zhang conspired to kill He Shizhong and deposed Yang Wan. Otherwise, with the temperament of He Liu, the old butcher, it would be strange if Liu Shouyou's whole family was not secretly cut off!

He Liu took the initiative to seek peace with Zhang Jing because of helplessness. He had a foreshadowing that his time was not long. These days, he could hear the call of his deceased wife in his dream every now and then.

He Liu wanted to leave a way out for his grandson and grandson.

After seeing off Zhang Jing, He Liu sat on the stone bench under the big willow tree in the yard.

Suddenly he had an idea in his mind: Now I am the young prince of the court, and everyone in the court has to give me a little bit of shame. Why don’t I put down my old face and recognize Zezhen more families? Familiarity is connections, and connections are ways to retreat.

Since Zezhen can recognize Luo Sigong and Yang Wan as his adoptive father, he can also recognize Wang Zhizhen as his adoptive father.

Chen Ju was in his early fifties, and Zezhen could recognize him as his grandfather. Civil officials were ashamed of getting married with eunuchs. The Jinyiwei was different. Whether it was the Jinyiwei or eunuchs, they were all the emperor's slaves. What's the shame of getting married with slaves?

Among the younger eunuchs in the Silijian, the twenty-two-year-old Wei Zhongxian is very good at being a human being and deeply trusted by Emperor Wanli. One day, he will definitely become a powerful official. When the other party becomes successful and then gets married, it is called flattery. If you have not yet gained power, it is called making friends! Why not let Zezhen recognize Wei Zhongxian as his righteous brother now!

He Liu made up his mind.

Early the next morning, he led He Zezhen to the eunuch's duty room for the Jinyiwei to supervise the eunuch.

Chen Ju bowed and said, "Sixth Master, no, now I should respectfully call you Shaobao!"

He Liu waved his hand: "You should call me Master Liu. I feel uncomfortable when I hear this title of He Shaobao."

Chen Ju bent down and touched He Zezhen's head: "Xiaozezhen, have you heard your grandfather's words recently? Have you been studying at home?"

He Zezhen hurriedly said, "Mr. Chen, I am very obedient! I can recite "Three Hundred Tang Poems" now."

Chen Ju is a rootless person. The eunuchs in the palace lack the most is the affection of family and family. Therefore, he likes He Zezhen, a smart child. He smiled and said, "Okay, in front of your grandfather, I will test you in front of you. If you memorize the questions I gave you, I will reward you with five taels of silver to buy a donkey and roll with candied haws. If you can't memorize them, I will hit your palm."

He Zezhen thought for a while and said, "Mr. Chen, please make a question."

Chen Ju said: "You will recite Wang Bo's "Send Du Shaofu to the Shuzhou" to me."

He Zezhen recited loudly: "The city and the palace assisted the Three Qins, and the wind and smoke looked at the five Jins. I am the same as a traveler with you. I have close friends in the sea, and I am like neighbors in the world, and I do nothing, and I do nothing..."

He Zezhen thought about breaking her head, but she couldn't think of the last two sentences.

Chen Ju said: "Remember, it's because of the inaction, and the children are all touching the scarf! Ozawa Shizuo, you don't have the whole heart, you will be punished. Extend your hand, my father-in-law wants to hit you in the palm of your hand."

After saying that, Chen Ju pretended to turn around and took off the scabbard from the wall. He Zezhen reluctantly stretched out his little hand. He closed his eyes and waited for the scabbard to hit his little hand.

Suddenly, He Zezhen felt that his palm was cold. He opened his eyes and had a small silver stew of five taels in his palm.

Chen Ju touched He Zezhen's head again: "Why am I willing to beat my Ozezhen?"

He Liu pointed to the two strong men standing at the door and said to He Zezhen: "You ask the two big brothers at the door to take you to Tangfu Street to buy donkeys and roll around."

"Okay!" He Zezhen held the five taels of silver that Chen Ju gave him, and ran out of the duty room happily.

Chen Ju looked at He Zezhen's back and sighed: "Oh, it's so pitiful. He has lost his parents at a young age."

He Liudao: "Eunuch Chen, I want to ask you for something. I don't know if it's considered a high-level person."

Chen Ju asked: "What's the matter? Master Liu just speaks."

He Liudao: "I want Zezhen to recognize you as her godfather."

Chen Ju hurriedly said, "I can't do it! I am a slave without roots. Zezhen is the legitimate grandson of the Shaobao in the dynasty! Shaobao is one of the three servants. How can I recognize a eunuch as a grandfather?"

He Liu said, "What Sanfu? It's just a short title. Speaking of roots, I'm just a slave. If Eunuch Chen is the slave of the emperor, then I'm the slave under my servant."

Chen Ju still shook his head: "No, no, no. The son of loyal and kind who died for the country and recognized the eunuch as the grandfather, what would it be like to spread? I can't say that the group of censors in the Censorate will participate in my arrogant and domineering descendants of loyal and kind."

He Liu stared at Chen Ju and expressed his thoughts: "Eunuch Chen, I am leaving a way out for Zezhen! You are now the Sili Supervisor and supervising the Jinyiwei. If Zezhen has a powerful grandfather like you, no one dares to cause trouble for him after I die!"

Chen Ju said: "Why are you always talking about life and death recently? You have to work for the emperor for another 30 years."

He Liu smiled and said, "I am a thief when I am old and never die! I will live for another thirty years? Then I must not let others hate me? I will make the decision on this matter, so I will set up a table of wine at home another day, and ask Zezhen to kowtow to Eunuch Chen to toast tea and recognize this family."

He Liu's words had reached this point, and Chen Ju couldn't refuse any more. He said, "Okay. Then I'll be on the Sixth Master. Don't worry, as long as I'm in power for one day, I will protect Ozawa Shizuo for one day."

He Liu got the eunuch's duty room to supervise the eunuch's duty room, and then went to command Zuo Tongzhi's duty room.

Zuo Tongzhi Wang Zhizhen is looking at several cases of imperial cases.

Seeing that He Liu was coming, he quickly stood up and bowed: "Master."

He Liu sat on the chair without hesitation, picked up a case file, glanced at him and asked, "Are there many cases of Qin that the Jinyiwei has handled recently?"

Wang Zhizhen said: "There are more than a dozen cases of imperial examinations that we are handling. However, they are all small cases, so the master did not disturb him."

He Liu threw the case file on the table: "You are now a disciple and can stand alone. My master's face is shining. I heard from Eunuch Chen that you are taking charge of the big and small things about the Jinyiwei now."

Wang Zhizhen said humbly: "Thank you for your praise. If your apprentice can learn the master's three-point ability, it will be that your ancestors have accumulated virtue."

He Liudao: "I'm here for some reason. If I remember correctly, you have two daughters in your family, right?"

Wang Zhizhen nodded: "My wife is not good at doing well. She only gave birth to two daughters for me, but she did not give birth to a male child. The two daughters married very well. The eldest daughter married the youngest daughter married the head of the Zhejiang Qingli Office of the Ministry of Revenue. But then again, the married daughter splashed water from the water. There are three unfilial things, and no descendants are the greatest. My Wang family has no one to inherit the incense yet."

He Liudao: "I don't think so, let Zezhen recognize you as his godfather. You are my disciple and the same generation as the dead Shizhong. Shizhong's son recognizes you as his godfather, and it's not a mess of his generation."

Wang Zhizhen bowed and said, "Master, I once told you that Shizhong's son is my Wang Zhizhen's son! I will take care of Zezhen regardless of whether I have the title of a adopted father and son."

He Liu shook his head: "Civil officials often say that if you have the right name, you will be justified. With the title of adopted father and son, in the future, if Zezhen encounters something, you have to stand up for him before you can become famous."

Wang Zhizhen said: "Then it depends on the master."

He Liu lowered his voice and said, "I have another meaning to let you recognize Zezhen as your adopted son. Eunuch Chen has agreed to be Zezhen's godfather. In this way, you and Eunuch Chen will become your kid. After all, he is your immediate boss. In the future, if you want to become the commander, you will get the support of Eunuch Chen. With this relationship, how can Eunuch Chen not look down on you at a high level?"

Wang Zhizhen was so grateful: "Thank you, Master, think about your disciples everywhere!"
