Li Zhang was unable to return to the palace that night, so he returned to his private residence in Beijing. For a eunuch of his status, there was more than one place to stay in the capital.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, the people above and below him became busy. A group of people here were all serving him alone. Even though Li Zhang rarely came here, he would enjoy different treatment every time he came back. It seems that a eunuch with a background of serving people like him likes to use some unconventional means to torment others.
Wu Feng came to see him with some investigation results.
Li Zhang took off his large cloak and handed it to Wu Feng. He was still muttering there, "It was all a false alarm. Cai Guogong had no intention of letting Yang Peng take over our family. He just let him." Going to the port to be an internal supervisor has a lot of power."
Wu Fengdao said, "What is the position and errand of the internal supervisor?"
This is the internal supervisor. This kind of title does not exist at the moment, or in other words, each of the twenty-four prisons performs his own duties. No matter how awesome the ceremonial supervisor, eunuch, etc. are, and no matter how respectful others see them, they usually only care about their own acre. land.
Li Zhang sighed and said, "The general idea is that from now on, he will be responsible for the property and other matters of the inner palace, especially matters related to the official land and imperial estates around the capital. He will be the one to make the final decision." . And the port built by Cai Guogong is full of money."
Speaking of this, Li Zhang couldn't help but say with envy, "The errands Cai Guogong added are all so fat. Who wouldn't want to take a hand? What a pity."
Wu Feng said hurriedly, "Eunuch, since Cai Guogong is not targeting you, then Eunuch Chen has asked before about how to treat the lady named Ning. He also said that this was the Queen's order, and asked Tai Hospital to take good care of him."
I originally thought that Zhang Zhou was going to attack him, Li Zhang, and let him go to the northwest to be a guard. Eunuch, Li Zhang was furious before agreeing to cooperate with Chen Kuan.
Of course there was a reason, because he didn't dare to offend Chen Kuan at all.
Even if he wanted to cause trouble for Zhang Zhou, he did not dare to touch Zhang Zhou directly, but only attacked a female official, Ning Tong, so he still had to be picky.
Li Zhang said coldly, "Whenever we say that we want to embarrass others, it is just a normal investigation of the case. This is the responsibility of Dongchang. Besides, the one named Ning is not a lady. He is just a good concubine who takes care of the people around her when she gives birth outside the palace. She used to be just the wife of Marquis Anbian, but now she is nothing. What background does she have to dare to go against the imperial hospital?"
"Yes , Yes."
Wu Feng was relieved when he heard this. Anyway, Li Zhang knew what was needed and he also reminded him.
If Zhang Zhou is really guilty, don’t say that we have no good words to persuade him.
"Father, here are the results of the investigation. If we go by what Taiyuan Hospital said, this Ning's daughter is indeed guilty of public outrage. We have also checked that the medicines she used previously were of unknown origin. Yes, but it was also because the people at Tai Hospital did not recognize her prescription, and some people deliberately made things difficult for her. "
Wu Feng began to talk about the results of the investigation.
Li Zhang waved his hand and said, "Do we need to ask about such a small matter?"
Wu Feng said, "I'm afraid that Duke Cai will mention it and you won't be able to reply."
p>
"Cai Guogong, Cai Guogong, mention Cai Guogong in everything. Is there someone in Beijing who uses the name Cai Guogong? This can prevent our family from people like us who need to pay attention to these cats and dogs. People and things If you don’t do it well with all your efforts, don’t come back to see our family and even want to go to the Royal Horse Guards to see if you go back more and more."
Li Zhang is not usually the kind of person who treats his subordinates very meanly. Yang Peng is even worse than Yang Peng.
Wu Feng said with a mournful face, "Father, this matter is quite difficult. There is also Zhang Yong who has been watching. It is difficult to do anything now. Didn't I say before that I would put the shit basin on Zhang Yong?" "You can do things well, please calm down, your health is important."
Li Zhang didn't feel guilty at all when he saw Wu Feng's pitiful appearance, with a look on his face. He said with a fierce smile, "Zhang Yong, how can he dare to challenge our family even if he is the admiral of the Jingying camp? Don't pay attention to such a person. Sooner or later, he will be stepped on by our family. His position, our family I will find a way to give it to you."
"Thank you for your support."
Of course Wu Feng knew that Li Zhang was bragging, but he could only continue to flatter him.
East Palace.
During the end of the year, Zhu Youtang basically ignored his son because of his illness, and Empress Zhang was busy with intrigues and had no time to pay attention to her son. As a result, Zhu Houzhao was recently let go of his ideals, and even ran out of the house in the middle of the journey. Although he was picked up by others both times, his ability to fish in troubled waters was even better.
When he learned that Zhu Feng and Cui Yuan had won the battle, he felt a little disdainful.
But when he heard that Ma Yi and Zhang Rui had led their troops to achieve great victories in the northwest, he began to feel a little unable to sit still.
"Forget it if the person named Zhang doesn't come, even Liu Jin has been sent to the northwest by me. If you are all incompetent, no one can explain to me how this battle was won. Are you all wimps?"
What Zhu Houzhao hates is not that he cannot go to the battlefield in person.
He also knows that it is not allowed under the current conditions.
What he hates is that despite the victory, he can only rely on some hearsay to receive some rumors. He is unable to find out the details of the war. In the end, he can only scratch his head about the battlefield. He really hoped to have a sense of participation, but it was a pity that neither the emperor nor Zhang Zhou gave him such conditions.
Why did Gao Feng say, "Your Highness, Duke Cai Guo basically doesn't enter the palace now. Even if he is looking for someone, he doesn't know where to look. Why don't you tell His Majesty and let Duke Cai come in person?"
p>
"He didn't go to the battlefield. Does he know it in detail? I want to know how to fight in detail and why I can win. I am doing this to gain more victories on the battlefield. Is that for myself?" Zhu Houzhao still seemed confident.
Qiu on the side came over and reminded in a low voice, "Several peopleThe lecturer of the East Palace is already waiting outside. Your Highness, you should go out to class earlier."
"If you don't go, I'm sick and can't go to class. Let them all go back in such a cold weather. Every time I go to class, my hands will be wet. If you are frozen, tell them that I have a cold today and there will be no classes." After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, seeing Qiu Ju making no move, he frowned and said, "I'm deaf."
Qiu Ju said, "I'm afraid that's what I said. It's not up to the task. "
Zhu Houzhao sneered and said, "If they don't answer the question, they still dare to question it. If they don't believe it, let them go to Qianqing Palace to find the old man to ask the younger one. After all, he is also a prince, and the prince is not a king, right?"
Qiu Ju had a dark look on his face. If this spreads out, it would be a great rebellion.
"I want to practice in seclusion, and if I want to practice that art of war, my father will find someone to ask me to come out. Otherwise, it will be of no use to anyone, so get out."
Zhu Houzhao didn't seem to know what benevolence meant at this time. He took out his anger on these East Palace eunuchs when he was unhappy, showing an arrogant and unreasonable aura.
< p> Originally, Qiu Ju wanted to say something, but the people next to him quickly pulled him out. He probably meant to follow the little master’s words and tell the teachers outside that the students were unwilling to attend class and their status was still low. Gao, now we have no one to back us up, how can we not do as we sayUnless we want to jeopardize our own jobs
Fusi Nei, Jinyiwei North Town
Xie Qian was interrogated for several days in a row, but basically he didn't have to say anything in the court, it was just a routine, and sometimes he was even silent, and then he was sent back, and he would be interrogated again the next day.
"What I want to do is to let people know that we are trying the case of Mr. Xie Ge carefully, and we are not ignoring it and waiting for the verdict to be pronounced. If anyone asks, especially people from Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment, tell them that the case is under intense interrogation and no torture has been used, but now the facts of the case have basically come to light. ”
Mo Bin can be said to have taken great pains to do this.
The emperor has never determined Xie Qian’s case, and Jin Yiwei only roughly knew that Xie Qian’s life would not be easy this time, and The only thing Jin Yiwei can do is to act like a tense interrogator, which not only shows his attitude but also puts pressure on the civil servants.
In disguise, it is tantamount to telling Liu Jian and Li Dongyang that if you continue to ignore them like this, Xie Qian will be in trouble. The outcome may not be too good. Don't think that if you are a coward, the emperor will remember the relationship between teacher and student and not pursue it.
Guo Ang said, "Yesterday, Eunuch Li sent someone to tell me, The affairs of Beizhen Fusi can be left to others first. I wonder if it means that the transfer of the humble position has been decided?"
"You shouldn't ask if I haven't told you. " Mou Bin said.
Guo Ang looked very anxious.
Let me pretend to interrogate Xie Qian here, but in fact I will be transferred soon. Jinyiwei North Town Fusi Town Fushi Where can I find such a good job?
Mou Bin sighed and said, "Even if it's too hasty, I won't hide it from you. Eunuch Li mentioned it before, saying that His Majesty is planning to transfer you to Yong."The Ping Mansion is cooperating with Eunuch Yang, or Yang Peng and Eunuch Yang personally named your name. Jin Yiwei is still in charge of the affairs, but the position will be changed. ”
“What about Beizhen Fusi?” Guo Ang asked hurriedly.
In Guo Ang’s view, Beizhen Fusi is the real power yamen, and it is the one he never wants to see in his life. Where to move.
Mo Bin shook his head and said, "I don't know who will take over. It may be Sun Shangqi. He was supposed to go to Yongping Mansion, but you know that Sun Qianhu is very popular with Cai Guogong. Do you think Eunuch Yang can suppress him?"
Guo Ang seemed to understand something and said in surprise, "In other words, Sun Shangqi could have taken my position in Yongping Mansion. But he switched positions with me. He came to be the governor of Fusi Town in Beizhen, and asked me to run errands for Eunuch Yang."
Mo Bin said, "You are so stubborn, why are you running errands for Eunuch Yang? "
Guo Ang understood immediately and said, "That is to do work for Cai Guogong, yes, yes. "
"Just understand. Mou Bin glanced at Guo Ang and said, "You are quite a big man. He has been working here for a long time and has done some shameful things. It is a good thing to transfer you out." In this way, if anything happens in Yongping Mansion, you can bring it back in time. Anyone else might not have such deep contact with Dongchang and Jinyiwei. "
"Yes. "Guo Ang saluted.
He was extremely disappointed.
Mo Bin said again, "I also heard that your Majesty originally planned to transfer Eunuch Li, but the final decision was made by When Eunuch Yang goes, do you think it would be better to stay in the capital or go to Yongping Mansion?"
Guo Ang sighed, "To be honest, I think the place in Yongping Mansion is still too desolate. After all, this place in the capital is rich and prosperous. It is better than going to a small place. People have to go to higher places. ”
“You are wrong. Mou Bin said, "Yongping Mansion is the high place. No one else can go there. If you stay in the capital, you will be replaced early. But when you go to Yongping Mansion and do things beautifully, Cai Guogong feels happy." , your future career will be flawless. Look at the upstarts in the court today. Which one didn't come up by currying favor with Cai Guogong? You are worse than them."
Guo Ang said, "You are always a handyman, not an army officer.
Mo Bin smiled, patted Guo Ang on the shoulder and said, "If you can bring millions of taels of income to the court every year, even if you are not in charge of the matter, you are just an errand boy." , then you are also a hero of the Ming Dynasty. It would be nice to have three melons and two dates if you stay in Beizhen Fusi. You will have a bright future there. Go back and tidy up, and I may give you an order in the next two days. "
"Alas"
Guo Ang sighed heavily.
For him, he probably has no right to shirk things that he has no choice about. At the moment, he just has to Maybe he broke his teeth and swallowed his blood, thinking that he and Zhang Zhou would be able to make a name for themselves in the future.
The memorial for the northwest victory was officially sent to the court. , the cabinet obtained second-hand information, which was nothing more thanIt was a manuscript from Guan Bai, two days later than the one the emperor read.
Li Dongyang took it and read it and handed it to Liu Jian. Both of them remained silent after reading it.
Cheng Minzheng went out for a trip and came over and said, "You two, I just learned the good news. His Majesty will go to court tomorrow morning. His Majesty's body should be well. This is a big deal." Happy news. It seems that the good news from the northwest is also a good cure." "Keqin." Li Dongyang called Cheng Minzheng to stop him.
"Something happened" Cheng Minzheng didn't expect the two people in front of him to pay attention to him. He just wanted to be a clown and went in to draw up a vote after getting familiar with each other.
Anyway, he, Cheng Minzheng, does all the dirty work. Who told him that Cheng Minzheng is a newcomer in the cabinet?
Li Dongyang said, "You still have to go to Cai Guogong. "
Cheng Minzheng looked at Liu Jian first, and then asked, "What are you talking about?"
Li Dongyang said, "Just say, as long as Yu Qiao is fine, he can decide the conditions, Your Majesty." Don't you intend to let him be the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs? If there is a court recommendation, we will take the initiative to propose it. Also, when discussing merit, he will be the first meritorious person."
"Is it useful? "Cheng Minzheng didn't hide it either.
"If he is still not satisfied, let him raise it himself. Even if he asks me to leave the court and accompany Yu Qiao, I will admit it." Li Dongyang said suddenly with a burst of anger.
Cheng Minzheng hurriedly explained, "Bin Zhi, don't think too much. I didn't mean that. I just wanted to say that Cai Guogong's tone is not small. What he wants may be different from what you expect." , or it may be different from what you think. If he wants to propose it, you can't tell it at the moment. You are afraid that in the near future, you will know how excessive his conditions are."
Liu Jiandao" Then let him mention it and see how much he goes too far."
