My father is Jiajing

Chapter 113 Famous Eunuch Reformer

Zhu Zaigui warmly entertained the young eunuch from the Western Garden, which made the young eunuch feel flattered. He bowed quickly and said, "Your Majesty has given me such a generous reward, I dare not."

Zhu Zaigui laughed and said, "Angel, please don't refuse. I want to serve Your Majesty, but I am bound by the rules. Angels can serve Your Majesty and take care of your daily life. I gave the angels some crude gifts to express my filial piety in a tactful way, so that the angels can be more devoted to the emperor in Xiyuan."

After listening to Zhu Zaigui's explanation, the young eunuch was extremely happy.

Before he came, ancestor Huang Jin had already repeatedly told him to be respectful in front of Prince Yu.

He didn't expect that when he just arrived at Prince Yu's Mansion and had not had time to express his respect to Prince Yu, Prince Yu had already presented him with a gift. How could he not be moved?

The young eunuch said, "Thank you for your generous reward, Your Majesty. I will definitely convey your filial piety to the Emperor."

Zhu Zaiqi was also happy when he heard this. This was what he wanted to hear. "Thank you, angel. Please come in."

Zhu Zaigui invited the young eunuch to the front yard of the front courtyard.

The young eunuch bowed respectfully to Zhu Zaigui, then stood at the first seat in the front hall. Zhu Zaigui naturally stood below him.

The young eunuch straightened his expression and said seriously, "The Emperor's order."

Zhu Zaigui bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I, Zhu Zaigui, wish you well."

The young eunuch slightly moved away, then clasped his fists and bowed towards the West Garden, saying on behalf of the Heaven: "Greetings."

After completing this action, the young eunuch stopped and began to announce the contents of the oral order.

"That's right."

"Appreciate this."

Zhu Zaiqi looked up at the eunuch who announced the decree in bewilderment, "Ah?"

The young eunuch looked at the somewhat confused Zhu Zaigui and quickly explained: "Your Highness, this is the Emperor's oral order. Just two words: 'Approved'."

Zhu Zaigui stood up and said "oh". He really didn't expect that Emperor Jiajing would be so cold and indifferent. He thought that Emperor Jiajing's oral instruction could express some caring words, even if it was just a polite concern. But in the end, there were only two words "damn". How much must he dislike his own child?
However, Zhu Zaigui was not sad, nor did he feel panic or fear because of the two-word oral instruction.

Because the current Zhu Zaigui is no longer the original Zhu Zaigui. Apart from having a vague concept of the Emperor Jiajing, he does not have any strong feelings about him.

In particular, the extremely strict sense of hierarchy that should have existed in this era was not actually strong in Zhu Zaigui's heart.

He was not like the people of this era who tried to guess the emperor's intentions with great caution.

For Zhu Zaigui, no matter what Emperor Jiajing's attitude towards him was, as long as it did not interfere with his daily life and freedom, he was too lazy to consider how much "deep meaning" was hidden in Emperor Jiajing's two oral orders.

The young eunuch looked at Zhu Zaigui and said "oh", feeling a little confused. Shouldn't the normal response be "thank you for your grace"?

As a result, Zhu Zaigui just said "oh" and stood up.

This made the young eunuch very embarrassed, but he didn't dare to say a word.

Because when he came, Huang Jin's attitude had made it very clear that the Prince Yu in front of him was very important and he must not be neglected in the slightest.

"Your Highness, I have brought the Emperor's oral instructions. Congratulations, Your Highness."

The young eunuch congratulated Zhu Zaiqi again. Zhu Zaiqi said, "Thank you, angel."

Zhu Zaigui then said, "By the way, I haven't asked for the angel's name yet. I don't know how to address the angel."

The young eunuch said to Zhu Zaigui respectfully, "My humble surname is Feng and my given name is Bao."

Zhu Zaigui suddenly realized, "So it's Feng." After saying the word Feng, Zhu Zaigui's eyes suddenly widened, revealing an incredible light in his eyes, and he continued, ".Bao Gong - Gong -"

Zhu Zaigui never expected that the young eunuch who came to announce the imperial eunuch was actually Zhang Juzheng's future ally and famous eunuch reformer - Feng Bao!
Please note that it is "famous" and "reformer". Looking back over the past five thousand years, although ministers of reform were rare, it is still unique for a eunuch to be included in the ranks of "reformers"!

Therefore, Zhu Zaigui was very surprised by Feng Bao's sudden appearance. Originally, Zhu Zaigui thought that Feng Bao would not appear until he had a son. He did not expect him to show up so suddenly. It was really incredible.

But on second thought, it is normal. After all, Feng Bao is a eunuch who entered the palace. To be able to make such great achievements in the original historical time and space, he must have his extraordinary qualities. So it is reasonable for him to become the eunuch who announced the emperor's decrees.

Feng Bao was also lowering his head respectfully and did not see the shock in Zhu Zaigui's eyes, but he still heard the long note that Zhu Zaigui followed up very clearly. For a moment, he was a little confused about what was going on.
Feng Bao raised his head and looked at Zhu Zaigui in confusion. At this time, Zhu Zaigui also put away his shocked look, but it was still possible to see that he was different from before.

Zhu Zaigui said: "When I heard the name of Eunuch Feng Bao, I felt it was amazing. It's a good name!"

Zhu Zaigui first praised Feng Bao highly, and then he shouted loudly: "Come here! Prepare two more bars of high-quality soap for Eunuch Feng Bao!"

When Feng Bao heard that Prince Yu was going to give him two more bars of high-end soap, he was naturally overjoyed.

Although the price of this high-end soap in Yiran Hall is not as expensive as Yiran Tang and Bingxin Tang, it is still a hard-to-find item. Once it is sold, it will be snapped up by the ladies in Beijing. Especially some soaps with special floral scents are priced to sky-high levels, which are frighteningly more expensive than Yiran Tang and Bingxin Tang. No one knows what these ladies are thinking.

So when Feng Bao heard that Prince Yu was going to give him two more bars of high-end soap, he was really overjoyed.

I didn't expect that the job I took to read the oral order at Prince Yu's Mansion would actually bring me such a valuable benefit.

For a moment, the way Feng Bao looked at Zhu Zaigui changed. In Feng Bao's eyes, Zhu Zaigui was no longer an ordinary prince, but a shining good man!

No wonder Eunuch Huang Jin repeatedly reminded people to be respectful to Prince Yu. How could one not respect such a prince?

Feng Bao knelt on the ground excitedly and bowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your reward!"

Zhu Zaiqi looked at Feng Bao who was so excited, and his mood was also very good. Zhu Zaiqi stretched out an arm to help Feng Bao up, "Eunuch Feng, please stand up quickly. It's just two bars of soap. If you like it, I will send someone to deliver two bars to you every month in the future."

After hearing this, Feng Bao's lips trembled with excitement, "How can I do this? I dare not."

Zhu Zaigui said generously, "Why not? The prince and the eunuch hit it off right away, and the eunuch's temperament is as extraordinary as the breeze and the moon, just right for the smell of good soap. Eunuch, don't refuse, it's settled."

Feng Bao excitedly bowed to Zhu Zaigui again, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your reward."

Zhu Zaigui chuckled and pulled Feng Bao aside to talk a few more words.

This made Feng Bao even more flattered. He never expected that Prince Yu would be so kind to others. Then he thought that he was almost reaching an age. If he could not get a higher position promotion, he might as well find a way to serve in the mansion of Prince Yu or Prince Jing.

So at this moment Feng Bao seemed to have made up his mind. If he failed to get promoted, he would try his best to ask the ancestors to arrange for him to serve in Prince Yu's mansion.
