Chapter 644: The Day of Corruption
Thinking of this, he raised his eyebrows, and then he was relieved, and said in his heart: "Fortunately, I knew the news in advance, looking at the current appearance, this Han king's preparation is still insufficient, and he will not dare to launch a rebellion for a while, and he will contact the big man in the court, I am afraid that it will take a few days, I can use this time to prepare well, prepare, and once the situation changes, immediately rush to the capital to do the duty of a courtier?"
After thinking about it carefully, his heart suddenly brightened, and seeing Wei Da coming, he hurriedly smiled at Wang Bin and said, "Lord Wang, Li still has a link here, it's good to tell Lord Wang to hear it?"
Wang Bin was overjoyed when he got his advice, but he was also suspicious of him, laughed, and said, "My lord, just say it?"
Li Jun said: "The water wheel is water, the water follows the car, and the water stops ——? the car."
Wang Bin thought for a while, and said loudly: "The fan fan, the wind comes out of the fan, and the fan is born." “
"Haha, that's right, that's right——?" The two looked at each other and laughed.
Nanjing Imperial Palace.
Yang Zheng was lying on the mahogany shelf bed of the brocade curtain, pillow with satin brocade soft pillows, and was sleeping, yesterday's life was too bizarre, first inexplicably made a copycat version of the prince, followed by the royal banquet, and then almost turned over the brand, so that he couldn't sleep on this dragon bed, until the second half of the night he inhaled the faint fragrance of the brocade quilt and fell asleep.
was sleeping soundly in a daze, and heard someone outside the door whispering: "The prince is in the fourth watch, it's time to get up?"
Yang Zheng said in a daze: "It's not dawn yet?"
The man outside the door lowered his voice and said, "My ancestor, will it be too late when the day dawns?" As soon as the words fell, a burst of drums was heard, and the man outside the door said: "Listen, these are all four drums?"
Since Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, the eunuch institutions in the inner court began to be established, and the eunuch institutions and related officials changed frequently, the number of eunuchs continued to increase, and the related institutions gradually expanded. By the Hongwu period, the eunuch institutions and official settings of the Ming Dynasty had been basically customized. The eunuch institution of the Ming Dynasty was based on the "Twenty-four Yamen". The 24 yamen include 12 prisons, 4 divisions, and 8 bureaus. In addition to serving in the inner court, eunuchs can also serve as envoys on various foreign missions. According to the original regulations, these 24 yamen are mainly only the departments that serve around the emperor and serve his life, so that many institutions have been born in response to the name, and there are countless of them, and there are dozens of them called "houses" alone, such as the imperial wine room, the marble room, the livestock room, the carved leakage room, the sweet room, the drum room, the Han Jing room, the imperial pharmacy, the bow and arrow room, the imperial tea room, the cat room, the eagle room, the leopard room, Hundred bird rooms, etc., among which there is a more drum room, in which there will be a group of five more drum room eunuchs every day, who take turns playing night drums in the palace every day (the Ming Dynasty Chinese divided the night into five more, and one more into several points. The first watch opens the night, the third watch indicates midnight, and the fifth watch signals the dawn). During this period of time, more than ten eunuchs also had to be in the carved leakage room, accurately grasp the daily moment, every hour by the palace supervisor into the palace to change the card, the night newspaper carved water, water from a small hole into a container, the scale of the leaky arrow on the water indicates the time (eight scales an hour). At the end of each hour, the eunuchs of the palace would take the "hour card" to the place where the emperor or the crown prince would spend the night and exchange it for a new one. The "Hour Card" is about 30 centimeters long, with green ground and gold letters. Anyone who saw it had to stand on their side to give way, and those who were seated had to get up to show their respect for the messenger of the hour card, and every day Zhu Zhanji got up when he heard the drum beat of the four watches.
Yang Zheng was still lying on the bed and did not move, the person outside the door listened to it for a long time without moving, and when he heard the sound of the drum, he suddenly became anxious, and lowered his voice and shouted again: "Your Highness, Your Highness - it's time to get up?"
Yang Zheng was a little irritable and rubbed his hazy sleepy eyes, and when he saw the scenery around him clearly, he was surprised to realize his current identity, and suddenly woke up a little, and shouted outside the door: "Come in?"
The man outside the door answered, gently pushed open the wooden door, and suddenly the lanterns and lanterns behind him quickly illuminated the entire hall, and several eunuchs standing outside the door, Gong E, stood outside the door with their heads bowed and did not move.
The leader shouted, "Why don't you bathe and change your clothes for Your Highness?"
Several eunuchs answered and walked in with lanterns, and Feng Yujing had already brought utensils to clean Yang Zheng's urine and phlegm. They had in their hands thin, soft toilet paper made by the internal officials and supervisors, and they also brought buckets of well water drawn from nearby palace wells. They carefully inspected the bathtub, as well as all the detergents, towels, and other bathing equipment provided by the Mixed Hall.
Yang Zheng squinted his eyes, glanced at the busy eunuch, Gong E, with a shocked face, and said in his heart: "Just get up, don't you need to be so exaggerated, right?"
"Your Highness, it's time for you to get up?" Chen Wu shouted softly.
Yang Zheng was stunned, and with some reluctance, he sat up from the silky brocade quilt like water, and looked blankly at the busy eunuchs outside the tent.
The two Gong E, who were waiting outside the tent, heard the movement, and the money came up, stretched out her white wrist, and opened the curtain, an elderly Gong E, walked forward from between the two, put a yellow mink coat, and gently draped it on his back, and then waved behind him, and immediately there was a Gong E carrying a teapot, and the tea soup in the pot was still steaming, and the Gong E carefully filled a cup, put it on the side of her mouth and took a sip gently, and then handed it to Yang Zheng and said softly: "Your Highness, please rinse your mouth." ”
Yang Zheng was stunned for a moment, glanced at the tea soup, and saw that the soup in the cup was tender green (yellow) and bright, fragrant or tender chestnut, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "What kind of tea is this?"
Na Gong'e said: "This is West Lake Longjing tea?" That Gong'e seemed to be afraid that he didn't understand, and continued: "West Lake Longjing tea, originally the "Xianglin tea" from Tianzhu Xianglin Cave under Lingyin, the "Baiyun tea" produced by Tianzhu Baiyun Peak and the "Baoyun tea" produced by Geling Baoyun Mountain have been listed as tribute. The Northern Song Dynasty monk Dialectical Master returned to his hometown, and it was also the place where Su Dongpo and other writers tasted tea and poetry in Shousheng Temple at the foot of Longjing Shifeng Mountain, Su Dongpo had "two flags under Baiyun Peak new, greasy green and long fresh valley rain spring" to praise Longjing tea, and handwritten "old Longjing" Wait for the plaque, this West Lake Longjing tea began to emerge, the reputation gradually spread, began to go out of the temple, for the ordinary people to drink, to my dynasty Yongle years, Hangjun tea, always less than the production of Longjing, and the rain before the fine buds, take a flag and a gun, especially treasures, the production is not much, it is appropriate to be noble. Ordinary people can't afford to drink it?"
Yang Zheng didn't expect that the palace in this palace would have such knowledge, nodded slightly, stretched out his hand to take the Longjing tea soup, put it to his mouth and drank it, only to feel refreshing, fragrant between his teeth, and endless aftertaste. Secretly sighed twice: "This is too fucking a**, right?"
After the tea soup turned in his mouth, he spit into the copper basin with some reluctance, and then Gong'e immediately took a piece of silk handkerchief and put it in his hand.
Yang Zheng wiped his mouth lightly, and another Gong'e served another tray at this time. A tall cup is neatly placed on the plate, and a small brocade box is placed next to the quilt.
Just as he was curious, Nagong E stepped forward and opened the brocade box, and a small pig's bristle with a moderate amount of soft and hard pig's bristles was immediately revealed in the box......?"
"Is this a toothbrush, it's quite similar to what I've seen in my previous life?" Yang Zheng was a little surprised, he had seen a toothbrush in Peng's house, but he didn't dare to compliment his appearance, mainly grinding animal bones into a thin stick, drilling some small holes in it, and then inserting the pig bristles into the small holes in bunches, and trimming them neatly, but the pig hair is easy to fall off when washing, sometimes after washing, the mouth full of pig hair, people are not very happy, compared to the pig hair toothbrush, China's earliest tooth sanitary ware is the willow branch, in the late Tang Dynasty, when the willow branch was soaked in water, when you want to use it, bite the willow branch with your teeth, the willow fiber inside will be disbursed, like a small wooden comb, a very convenient toothbrush。 The old saying "morning chewing tooth wood" is the source of this. After arriving in the Southern Song Dynasty, there were already shops in the city that specialized in making zuò and selling toothbrushes. At that time, toothbrushes were made of bone, horn, bamboo, wood and other materials, drilling two rows of pores on the head and planting a horsetail. It is very close to the toothbrush in Yang Zheng's previous life, and in addition to being surprised, I can't help but feel a little intimate.
Yang Zheng took the toothbrush, put it in his mouth and tried it, until there was no smell of pig hair, and he couldn't help but sigh that this palace was not useless, at least this toothbrush was much stronger than the Peng family.
At this time, a Gong E reopened a brocade box, and in the brocade box was a milky white paste-like thing, and the Gong E carefully got the paste-like thing onto Yang Zheng's toothbrush, glanced at him, and said with a red face: "Your Highness, can you wash?"
Yang Zheng looked at the milky white paste on the toothbrush, and said in his heart: "Could this be the toothpaste?"
Just as he was about to ask, Chen Wu on the side took the lead and said: "Your Highness, this is a slave who asks people to use half a catty of yellow ripe incense, incense, and agarwood, and three taels of sandalwood, tonka, Huoxiang, jataman, musk, nail incense, and clove skin. The above spices are pounded into powder and mixed with Suhe sesame oil and cooked honey to form a paste, and today the servant has asked people to use it for His Highness for the first time?"
Yang Zheng is not stupid, where can he not hear the reminder in Chen Wu's words, afraid that he will reveal a flaw when he asks questions, so he nodded at him without moving and began to scrub.
