Chapter 023: Each according to his ability
Today.
In the morning, Emperor Jiajing went to give a lesson to the "Eunuch Youth Class" and taught them the new familiarity "0,1,2,3......".
As well as simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division based on these "new numbers", ninety-nine multiplication tables and the like.
Not only the twenty little eunuchs, but Emperor Jiajing also asked the eunuchs who were particularly good at arithmetic among the eunuchs to listen to the class.
When the smart one learns, he can tutor others, which can save him a lot of time.
Afternoon.
At the request of Concubine Shen and Concubine Wen Jing, Emperor Jiajing went to play mahjong with them and chat.
Concubine Lu Jing left the palace and went to the fiefdom to visit her son King Jing Zhu Zaizhen, and Li Shizhen also went with him to see King Jing.
And Concubine Zhang De left the palace to visit Princess Jiashan the day before yesterday, and she will not come back in a few days.
Therefore, there are no three people who can't play mahjong, so they have to find the emperor.
Of course, it is also by playing mahjong to get closer to the emperor.
I guess I'll find a chance to be lucky.
They have heard that the emperor is basically cured, and the rest are stubborn diseases that need to be slowly recuperated.
As for Emperor Jiajing, he hadn't played mahjong with them for more than ten days, and he just had time, and they begged bitterly, so he agreed to go over.
As soon as I came to Shen Guifei's palace, I found that Shen Guifei and Concubine Wen Jing were dressed very carefully today, applying grease and powder, and using the overall perfume and so on.
"Holy Lord, you smell it, the concubine has been using soap these days, isn't it very fragrant now?"
Concubine Wen Jing came over, looking shy.
Emperor Jiajing rewarded the concubines in the palace with soap, and the reaction effect was very good.
Concubine Wen Jing discussed with Shen Guifei, and today she took the opportunity to play mahjong to rely on her ability to strive for the emperor's luck.
"Shengshang, you're tired, the concubine will pinch your shoulders."
Hearing that Emperor Jiajing now likes palace maids to beat their shoulders and pinch their legs, Shen Guifei specially learned some skills.
"Forehead ......"
What does this do? Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief. It looks like it's going to eat me.
Now Emperor Jiajing is not unapproachable, but for the sake of good health and longevity, he has been restrained.
Right now, two delicate mature and sexy women make his heart pound.
To be honest, it's a man who is tempted.
Restraint, restraint!
Lives matter!
Now this sick body can't stand the tossing exercise.
"Ahem......"
Emperor Jiajing coughed and said, "Come, I will play cards with you." β
Tough start to the game.
"Holy Lord, you have to be careful, the concubine has made great progress recently, and she can't be angry if she loses money."
Concubine Wen Jing sat on the right hand side of Emperor Jiajing, deliberately approaching, exuding an attractive body fragrance, showing a graceful figure.
Shen Guifei interrupted: "Sister Jingfei, you are so close to the saint, do you want to take a peek?" β
"Oh, how could it be, sister, you wronged people."
Concubine Wen Jingfei pouted, looking like a little woman.
And Shen Guifei shows a dignified, mature, and sexy beauty, which is diametrically opposed to Concubine Wen Jing.
"It's not easy to win, if you lose, don't cry."
Emperor Jiajing smiled and said.
The three of them began to shuffle the cards, and the three hands touched each other from time to time.
In fact, they are all "old husbands and wives", and they are nothing to touch.
It's normal, don't think about it.
Oddly enough.
Today, Emperor Jiajing's luck is a little back, he loses alone, Shen Guifei and Wen Jingfei both won, Shen Guifei has good luck and skills, and most of them win.
"It seems that today's mahjong gods are favored by you, and for an hour, I haven't won many cards."
Emperor Jiajing smiled helplessly.
"It's the Holy Lord who let the concubine and Concubine Wen's sister."
Shen Guifei said modestly.
Concubine Wen Jing said happily: "The first time I won the silver of the saint, the concubine thanked the saint." β
Emperor Jiajing deliberately embarrassed: "Come again, I must win it back today." β
Concubine Wen Jing looked at Emperor Jiajing and said, "Holy Lord, do you want another game?" β
"Games?"
Emperor Jiajing asked, "Tell me about it." β
Concubine Wen Jing said: "If the saint keeps losing today, I will grant the concubine a request, and if the concubine loses, I will agree to the saint's request." What does the Holy Lord think? β
Shen Guifei's eyelids jumped, and she said in her heart: This woman plays tricks, and she takes advantage of the saint when she wins or loses.
"Holy Lord, the concubine thinks that the game that my sister said is very interesting, and the concubine also wants to join."
It can't be cheap, Concubine Wen Jing.
Concubine Wen Jing was depressed: What about those who say that they are good and compete for favor by their ability?
Emperor Jiajing didn't think much about it, anyway, it was just fun, so he agreed: "I am starting to exert my power now, and it is still unknown who will kill the deer." β
Energetic.
But it didn't take long for Lu Fang to find it.
"Master, Hai Rui's trial of the case of embezzlement of silver has been concluded, and the case file has just been sent by Jinyi Wei."
Hai Rui's speed is not slow, such a big case involves Chen Liuhou, and the trial is completed, which shows his ability in this regard.
"Another day, I'll be with you."
Emperor Jiajing left to check the case file.
Concubine Wen Jing was suddenly deflated and lay on the table: "This Lu Fang is really disappointed, the original plan was almost successful." β
Shen Guifei: "There is something serious in the saint, we can't add to the chaos, there will be a chance in the future." β
Concubine Wen Jingfei looked up at Shen Guifei: "Sister, my sister will rely on you tonight." β
Shen Guifei smiled: "Whatever you want." β
The four of them slept together before, and the relationship was much better, but every time they came to Shen Guifei to play mahjong late, they all slept together.
Emperor Jiajing asked Lu Fang to take the case file to Xiyuan, the fine house of Yuxi Palace.
The case file contained several boxes, as well as more than a dozen large boxes, busy copying the lost silver, silver tickets, jewelry, antique literature and ink, and so on.
First of all, Emperor Jiajing looked at Hai Rui's handwritten note on the summary of the case.
A total of Chen Liuhou and others' family property was confiscated: more than 3.3 million taels of silver and silver tickets, more than 1 million taels of gold, silver, jewelry, etc., more than 2 million taels of antique literature and ink are estimated to be the least, and there are 10,000 hectares of land occupied by the people.
Half of it is Chen Liuhou's family wealth.
Hai Rui returned the illegally occupied fields to the original people, and used more than 2 million yuan in cash to help the victims and local people.
The rest of the confiscated family property was all sent to the capital.
"This Hai Rui, I gave him the right to cut first and then play, and I actually disposed of the confiscated fields privately, and there are more than two million silver ......"
Emperor Jiajing looked at Hai Rui's recital, and his head was big for a while: "He actually wants to continue to investigate whether the relief money in other disaster-stricken areas in Henan is greedy for ink, please allow me...... Do you really think of yourself as the sea and the sky? β
In LΓΌ Fang's ears, Emperor Jiajing was very dissatisfied with Hai Jui's approach.
However, after reading it, Emperor Jiajing said: "Give these things to the cabinet, and the property will be returned to the treasury." Spread my will again, and the Ministry of Officials will arrange people to fill the vacant official positions in Henan as soon as possible. Also, Hai Rui, you can return to Beijing without the Qin mission. β
This toss, Hai Rui has paralyzed one-third of Henan's officialdom, and if he continues to toss, ninety percent of officials may be able to find out the problem by him, and then it will be chaotic.
At this point, it should be enough.
A sharp sword, too sharp, will also hurt others and yourself.
The rule of the Ming Dynasty has accumulated too many shortcomings, it is impossible to kill alone, not to solve the problem, and the reserve of talents is not enough.
If a corrupt official is held accountable, and no one fills the vacancy in time, it will also cause administrative paralysis and cause big trouble.
Moreover, being too hasty and too ruthless can also backfire.
