Chapter 132: The Imperial Staff
The Zhang brothers cried aggrievedly.
After all, it is her own brother, although Queen Zhang reprimands her mouth, she is still distressed in her heart.
Emperor Hongzhi slowly entered Kunning Palace, and when the Zhang brothers saw him coming, they cried even louder, making him a little upset: "What's the matter?" ”
Empress Zhang obviously didn't know that Emperor Hongzhi would come, thinking that it was her brother who sent someone to complain, so she got up and saluted: "Brother concubine has no words, I don't know what the messenger said to Your Majesty, Your Majesty must not go to your heart." ”
The two stone lions in front of the gate of Kunning Palace have forty-five curls of hair on their heads, but they are slightly different from the stone lions in Fengtian Temple, they have drooping ears, implying that the harem must not interfere in political affairs.
How could Empress Zhang not remember.
It is a matter of court officials, and when Emperor Hongzhi is here, she will naturally not interfere more.
Emperor Hongzhi was more concerned about how blind he was, and what it had to do with Yan Chengjin, and paced in front of Zhang Yanling: "You talk to me about it." ”
"Your Majesty, the minister used a telescope to register two, Yan Chengjin said that he would be blind when he looked at the sun, the minister didn't believe it, who knew that he was really blind when he saw it!" Zhang Yanling was aggrieved.
Zhang Heling is a fat beating to his brother, sand coins, can this be said?
Hearing that her brother relied on his identity to occupy the Song telescope to collect the gentry's silver, Empress Zhang was also so angry that her phoenix crown shook: "Your Majesty bought the Song telescope for the people to watch, and you dare to disobey the edict, you deserve to be blind!" ”
Emperor Hongzhi sank his face: "Spread Yan Chengjin to see me!" ”
Yan Chengjin guessed that Empress Zhang would announce him, but he didn't expect that it was Xiao Jing, the celebrant who came to announce, and he knew that it was Emperor Hongzhi who wanted to see him.
"Does my father-in-law have yellow rice on him?"
Xiao Jing was shocked: "Could it be that you still want to bribe Your Majesty?" ”
"Borrow it and pay it back in a moment."
When he arrived at Kunning Palace, Yan Chengjin knelt down when he saw Emperor Hongzhi, and Emperor Hongzhi said coldly: "You are guilty." ”
"The minister is guilty."
Xiao Jing's old face twitched, Your Majesty just said casually, you recruited too fast, right?
Emperor Hongzhi's face was strange, and he had thought of a series of questioning processes, but at this moment, he was holding back and saying it, and it was unspeakably uncomfortable.
After thinking about it, he asked again: "Is Jian Changbo really blind in this life?" ”
Zhang Heling glanced at Emperor Hongzhi, and his expression seemed to tell him, didn't His Majesty ask knowingly?
Zhang Yanling cried out, "I'm blind...... I'm blind! ”
Yan Chengjin took out a gold bar from his arms and smashed it at Zhang Yanling's feet.
Bang dang!
With a crisp metal collision sound, Zhang Heling was busy lifting the gauze on his eyes, and was overjoyed: "As soon as I heard it, I knew it was gold!" Brother, I found gold! ”
He put it in his mouth again and bit it, "It's gold!" ”
Emperor Hongzhi and Empress Zhang could see clearly how Zhang Yanling lifted the gauze just now, and how he picked up the gold accurately.
This is clearly pretending to falsely accuse the minister!
The Song telescope that occupied the imperial court collected the money, and even dared to falsely accuse the minister, and they almost believed it.
Emperor Hongzhi shook the hall and said angrily: "Won't I really deal with you two!" ”
The brothers of the Zhang family were like sifting chaff, trembling with fright, shouting words like sparing their lives, and looked at Queen Zhang again.
Empress Zhang was angry, she heard that her brother's eyes were blind, she burst into tears, her heart ached, and she felt sorry for her dead father, who made such a big farce, it was a false accusation?
"It's time for you two to teach a lesson!"
As long as they don't take their lives, even if they are sent to Biansai to build the Great Wall, Empress Zhang will not have the slightest complaint.
Since Jian Changbo's eyes are not blind, doesn't he say......
Emperor Hongzhi looked at Yan Chengjin, Yan Chengjin knew what he wanted to ask, so he said: "Jianchangbo just took a look, so the minister concluded that he was temporarily blind, not permanently blind, and really used the Song telescope to watch the sun, I'm afraid that within half an hour, he will really be blind." ”
Not to mention using a telescope, even if you just look with your eyes, you will also be at risk of blindness.
Emperor Hongzhi groaned a few times: "Why do you still have to confess your guilt? ”
"The minister did not inform His Majesty in advance, he could not observe the sun, he was indeed guilty, of course he had to admit it."
With this imperial history, why worry about the court's incorruptibility.
Emperor Hongzhi sighed with emotion in his heart: "Yan Chengjin's recommendation is meritorious, the Song family telescope is a thing of the imperial court, how can he traitor the ministers make personal profits, order the brocade guards to guard, Ning Shouhou and Jianchangbo, all dragged out to play fifty boards!" ”
"Your Majesty, wait!"
Yan Chengjin interrupted.
The brothers of the Zhang family were immediately moved, Yan Yushi is a good person, he falsely accused him, but he still pleaded for us, the world is getting worse and the people's hearts are not ancient, there are not many people like this.
"The ingot of gold was borrowed from the minister and Gonggong Xiao, please return it to the minister."
Zhang Yanling didn't want to pay it back, but felt the murderous gaze of Emperor Hongzhi, and hurriedly handed over the gold.
The court staff was invented by Zhu Yuanzhang, and the purpose was only to make civil officials suffer mental humiliation, not to really cripple them.
Therefore, when you receive the rod, you can put a bedding in your garment.
Fifty boards are not missing, the eunuchs play boards all the year round, and the strength in their hands is controlled freely, they know how to break the bones through the skin, and they also know how to beat them crackling, and it doesn't hurt at all.
The Zhang brothers are uncles of the country, and they don't dare to put too heavy hands.
After the board, the brothers got up from the bench.
"Brother, I have a pi pain!"
Ning Shouhou said angrily: "Let's let Yan Cheng become a Jinzhi Shi and become an official!" ”
"That's right! Let him not be an official! ”
The brothers supported each other, went out of the noon gate, and saw the Song telescope again, and regretted it in their hearts.
This morning, at least more than 300 taels of silver were collected, and the silver that fell from the sky in vain! And so it flew.
I can't help but feel a pain in my flesh.
Emperor Hongzhi sent a brocade guard to guard it, and anyone could look at it without collecting money.
Zhang Heling thought for a while: "Brother, there is one in the capital, but not in the south of the Yangtze River!" Jiangnan is richer than the capital, if you get Jiangnan, won't you count the silver and roll your eyes? ”
Out of the palace, Yan Chengjin was stopped by the Zhang brothers, and Zhang Heling piled up a smile on his face, which made him goosebumps fall to the ground.
These two brothers have a long life, but they are not very smart!
During the Jiajing Dynasty, Emperor Jiajing was angry, one was locked up in prison and died, and the other was beheaded in Xishi.
Playing with intrigue and trickery, it's really a bit embarrassing for the two brothers.
Zhang Heling held his buttocks and said with a smile: "The virtuous nephew is down?" ”
"Ning Shouhou wants to take revenge on the lower officials? ...... in broad daylight" Yan Chengjin's voice raised a few degrees, and the surrounding Jinyi guards all looked here.
"Oh no, you misunderstood, didn't you just get a board! My brother didn't take it to heart. Hearing Zhang Heling say this, Zhang Yanling was anxious, he wanted to press Yan Chengjin to the ground and beat him hard.
But Zhang Heling is an elder brother after all, and when he hands him a look, Zhang Yanling doesn't dare to squeak.
"Not revenge? What are the two lords looking for? ”
Zhang Heling was so hateful that his teeth creaked: "I want to build a Song telescope, but Song Jing's dog won't agree!" If you agree, this is fifty taels of silver, you tell Song Jing, this is your mouth money. ”
Readers have a pen fee, what the hell is your mouth money?
