Chapter Seventy-Eight: Returning to the Domain
In the court, there was indeed a mess, and no one paid attention to the matter of Liaozuo, let alone the fact that a political officer was beaten by an internal eunuch.
That Yuan Kewang really knocked out his teeth and swallowed his stomach, and even the governor Zhang Daren's attention was now attracted to Jingzhong.
As we all know, the Queen Mother is the "protective umbrella" of the East Palace and the most staunch supporter of the crown prince. Although the country is now decided, the sudden death of the Queen Mother, combined with the fact that the crown princess Guo was not allowed to go out for a month after her death, and the rumors that Zheng Guifei made people use witchcraft to harm the East Palace, people have to be wary of whether the emperor who has not been suppressed by the Queen Mother wants to be a demon again.
Father-in-law Wei knew it well, and knew that the court couldn't pay attention to himself because of the death of the queen mother, so the death of the queen mother was a great good thing for him, but as a courtier, as a close attendant, and as the queen mother's actual grandson-in-law, the father-in-law could not help but express grief and certain concern for the death of the old man.
Therefore, the father-in-law specially put on the inscription book and sent a personal gift of 50,000 taels to the emperor to express his most sincere condolences, and at the same time euphemistically said that he had strayed into North Korea when he returned to Yiju from Kuandian.
In addition, thinking that his main position is an internal official eunuch, a maritime eunuch, and a Jiangnan town eunuch, but there is still a part-time job as a temporary eunuch in Dongchang, so while he is busy with his own work, he also has to give an explanation to the unit on duty, so he sent a private letter to Li Yongzhen, asking him to find out the trouble of Miao Changqi, who dared to disrespect the emperor in public.
Although Miao Chang is a small character now, he will be very high in the Donglin Party in the future, and he is in charge of the confidential military division, which is called Tianji Xingzhi Duoxing Zuo Yu De Miao Chang Period, and the other person in charge of the confidential military division is Tianxian Xing Yunlong Zuodu Yushi Gao Panlong is also.
According to the position of the second uncle's "Donglin Point General Record", Miao Changqi is the top four.
Sweep away the evil and start from a young age.
There are a lot of emperors, and they don't take you seriously, but the father-in-law is the most clear in grievances, how can he allow people to chew the root of his and the emperor's tongue behind his back, he must be taught a lesson.
After getting the secret order of Gonggong Wei, Li Yongzhen called Cui Yingyuan, who was promoted to the Black Flag Arrow Team, and after giving the order, Cui Yingyuan took the order.
After two days, Miao Changqi and his colleagues played with men in Nayuan Xinju prostitutes, and when they were drunk and smoked, they were blocked by several splashes on the way home, and then they were beaten up, and knocked out a front tooth on the spot, and then the perpetrators dispersed in a hurry.
Miao is a member of the Hanlin Academy, a person who is expected to enter the cabinet in the future, and he will be beaten back at the feet of the Son of Heaven in broad daylight! The Shuntian Mansion and the Five Cities Terracotta Division immediately launched an investigation, but they had no clue when they checked it out. In the end, Dongchang and Jinyiwei also participated, and the factory guard was really effective, and the murderer was found out within two days, but after interrogation, it was learned that he was drunk and making trouble.
According to the law, the person who was the leader was sentenced to pay for Miao's medical expenses, and he was imprisoned for another year.
In this regard, Miao Chang is not satisfied and helpless, the law of the Ming Dynasty is like this, he just lost a front tooth, and he has not been killed or injured, how else can he be judged. It's just a pity that Master Miao, who is proud of Donglin's new generation of leaders, has been leaking since then, and he is really not majestic.
This is also a trivial matter, and it has been dealt with impartially, which only caused public anger in a very small circle, but it has never caused a storm in the city, and it is in the mourning period of the Queen Mother. Recently, the busiest people in Beijing belong to the emperor's family, except for the Ministry of Rites and the cabinet.
The queen mother died according to the ritual system for the emperor's funeral, so as a son of Wanli according to the system of this service in March, the queen's clothes are made of muslin, the clan is plain, auspicious belt, the eldest princess is also plain, and often serve inside, on the next easy service, three days and except. The edict is based on "Bao Youchong people, plus service as a small achievement, and it will be removed in five days." ”
The hundred officials came to the court for three days, and the internal and external women came for three days. A few days later, the Ministry of Rites honored and said, "Filial piety, Zhenchun, Qinren, Duansu, Tianzuo Holy Empress", buried in Zhaoling, and worshiped the ancestral hall.
Except for the parties and the imperial family, the attention of others did not seem to be focused on the death of the queen mother, but on the Fu Wang who was crying with red eyes.
It is said that King Fu was like a lost soul after knowing that his grandmother had died, and said to the left and right: "I can't be left alone." ”
Indeed, he could not stay.
As soon as the funeral of the Queen Mother ended, Sun Shenxing, a member of the Donglin Party and the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, represented the Ministry of Rites and asked for the matter of King Fu's affairs.
It's a signal and a striker.
Wanli, who had just recovered from the pain of losing his mother, looked at Sun Shenxing's sparseness, sat in silence in front of the imperial case for a long time, and finally ordered the priest to draft a decree and order King Fu to return to Luoyang on the first day of the next month.
Later, he took Wei Liangchen's inscription book presented by the chamberlain, glanced at it and was very unhappy, and muttered: "It seems that there is a lot of money hidden." ”
Later, he put the inscription book into the clerk's room, in which there was no instruction on Korean affairs.
Because the concubine was pregnant, Wanli took pity on her during the Queen Mother's funeral, and never asked her to move more, and she didn't show up on some occasions. It's just that she heard her husband's decree that King Fu will return to the domain on the first day of the next month, but the concubine can't sit still. She was less than three months pregnant in her womb and had not yet shown her pregnancy, but in order to make her husband a little accommodating, she deliberately came to Qianqing Palace with her belly in her arms.
"Concubine Ai doesn't take care of her body in the palace, what are you doing here."
Wanli frowned slightly, then shook his head, and sighed: "Now I have no reason to stay Chang Xun anymore, the will has been made, according to your reschedule, what is the face of the foreign court?" ”
"Your Majesty just wants my mother and son to be separated." Zheng Guifei's tears swirled in her eyes.
"Chang Xun has left Beijing, isn't there a small one?" Wanli limped to the concubine, raised his hand to caress the concubine's belly, and said softly: "After the little guy is born, you and I will tease the child every day." ”
"Your Majesty..."
The concubine's face showed guilt, but she didn't insist on rescheduling for Chang Xun.
After the decree was officially issued, the Jingshi knew that King Fu was finally going out of Beijing.
On the one hand, Shoufu Ye Xianggao comforted that the matter of King Fu's return to the vassal was finally in his own hands, but on the other hand, he sent someone to invite Wang An, the eunuch in charge of the East Palace, and told him that Concubine Zheng and King Fu were just like Mrs. Qi and Ruyi in the Han Dynasty, after Liu Bang's death, Mrs. Qi ended up very miserable. Although King Fu of Tomorrow said that he would leave Beijing, Concubine Zheng was favored by the emperor and was still very powerful, and the prince must not be arrogant, so as not to suffer losses in the future. Tomorrow to send the blessing of the king, the number of etiquette must be courteous, so that people can see that it is indeed a brotherhood, please Wang An must tell the prince.
"The master is plain and kind, just rely on this matter, and the master doesn't need to worry about other things, he has his own minister." Ye Xianggao said.
At the same time, a guest came to King Fu's mansion, but it was Li Yongzhen, the head of the East Factory, who brought King Fu a letter from the admiral and maritime eunuch Wei Liangchen.
