Chapter 1004 - Living Up to the Youth

The backyard of the Yamen of the Outer East Factory is noisy and abnormal, dozens of Ming army generals gather together, and the laughter and laughter are endless, at this time, whether it is the Jinyi Wei or the East Factory or the fierce generals in the army, they seem to forget their identities and forget their estrangement, and toast each other.

Li Yan was injured and tasted it, looking at the scene in the courtyard and feeling incredible, thinking of this and looking back but there was no one, he remembered that Chang Yu went to sleep in the inner hall, he hadn't closed his eyes for two days and one night, and he had just drunk a lot of wine.

"Father-in-law Chun, father-in-law of Chun" A eunuch hurriedly walked into the backyard and looked around, then walked towards Chunxiang: "The emperor summoned General Li, General Huang, General Zhou and General Wu into the palace to face the saint"

In an instant, the uproar was gone, and everyone was envious, you must know that it is really a great honor for the military generals to face the saint, and many people will not be able to do it in their lifetime.

In the midst of everyone's joy, Li Yan and the five of them hurriedly walked out of the yamen towards the palace, Wu Zhong couldn't hide his excitement and looked back, just saw the smiling face at the yamen, couldn't help but snicker, and was caught by Huang Degong: "Commander Wu is so happy, isn't it the first time to enter the palace?" ”

Wu Zhongyi pouted: "The palace has been entered many times, but this is the first time the emperor has seen it."

Hey, Huang Degong rolled his eyes: "The palace Lao Tzu has also entered many times, and the emperor Lao Tzu has also met many times!" ”

A few people followed the eunuch who led the way from Dong'an Gate into the imperial city and then from Donghua Gate into the palace city and hurriedly headed north, Wu Zhong and Li Yan did not see any doorway, while Zhou Yuji and Huang Degong already knew that this was not a formal summons, because it was not at the Huangji Gate or the Huangji Palace, but at the gate of the emperor's harem, Qianqing Gate!

Qianqingmen, Emperor Chongzhen gently put down the teacup and looked at Wu Mengming with a smile: "Are you saying that although the 100,000 taels of silver account of Guozhang has been put into the treasury, in fact, the silver is still in Dongchang?" ”

Wu Mengming nodded vigorously: "A month ago, the Tartars besieged the capital, the minister raised donations in the city in his private name, and the people responded endlessly, and the national abbot was very moved by the courage of the four battalions under the command of the East Factory and donated 100,000 words of silver to reward the soldiers of the East Factory, and the more than 100,000 silver raised by the ministers were counted into the treasury by the household department in addition to the reward of the soldiers, but the 100,000 taels of the Guozhang were intercepted by Chang Gonggong in the Yamen of the East Factory from beginning to end."

The corners of Emperor Chongzhen's mouth twitched and sneered: "I raised only thousands of donations at the beginning, but it is far inferior to you as a commander of the Jinyi Guard, ridiculous, ridiculous." Wu Mengming hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The emperor is the Ninety-Five-Year Emperor, and some things can't be as unscrupulous as the minister, so the minister did not serve as the commander of the Jinyi Guard at that time, but ......"

Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand to interrupt him: "Having said that, it can explain those people after all...... It's extremely hateful, one by one, regardless of the national disaster, if it weren't for the knife on the neck, I'd rather die than pluck a hair, and the ...... of the country" said and sneered: "He is a full iron rooster, can he be so generous to pay 100,000 taels to reward the soldiers of Dongchang?" If it weren't for the fact that there was no cat in it, you would be stupid, wouldn't you? ”

"This should be the prince of the country who was fooled by Chang Gonggong, you don't know Chang Gonggong's mouth, which of the nobles in the capital is not masturbated by him...... Haven't you seen that the abbot has been scolding Chang Gonggong for taking money and not doing things...... If the emperor wants to know, the minister will check it out for you."

"No, I don't want to know how he fooled the countryman" Chongzhen's psychology is actually like a mirror, Zhou Kui is nothing more than asking Changyu to see the queen.

"Then the emperor wants to check the silver?" Wu Mengming asked with squinted eyes.

"That amount of money was originally donated to the East Factory, why should I come back, besides, the recent expansion of the East Factory costs money everywhere, Chang Yu didn't open his mouth to ask me for it, is it possible that I still want to ask for him."

"That's, that's" Wu Mengming said with a smile: "Father-in-law Chang is self-sufficient......

"Don't knock on the side of that sour, I know your thoughts" Emperor Chongzhen raised the corner of his mouth: "You stare at him every day and think he doesn't know, I also have a lot of black material for you here!" ”

"Your Majesty, it must be that Gonggong Chang found out that his ministers were investigating him...... Your Majesty, the ministers are not afraid of shadows, and they are ......" Wu Mengming was sincerely afraid.

"Okay" Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand impatiently: "It's not that I won't let you fish, but you also have to take it easy, and you can't bend the law, at least you can't let the imperial historians of the Metropolitan Procuratorate target you, I don't have so much effort to wipe your ass for the two of you every day!" ”

Wu Mengming secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Emperor Chongzhen said that he could not bend the law but did not mention that he should not be corrupt, the meaning is very clear, it is not okay to be corrupt and take bribes, but the stolen money can be touched, but his heart is still sour, Chang Yu's ass You have been wiping it all the time, why did you get me...... Why is it so eccentric?

"Your Majesty, you just said that Dongchang has expanded recently, and Chang Gonggong is ambitious to make Dongchang bigger, but he has dug people to Jinyiwei, and then he has ...... three times in a row" Wu Mengming shouted again, he remembered Chang Yu's words, he must bite him hard in front of Emperor Chongzhen, no matter how big or small, the happier Emperor Chongzhen is.

"But Dongchang already has the right and responsibility to call Jinyiwei" Emperor Chongzhen raised his eyebrows slightly, but he was happy in his heart, Chang Yu acted toughly, and sure enough, Wu Mengming was too deeply suppressed by him and couldn't help it.

"If he calls, the minister has no objection, but now he is digging it, and he actually picks the big one to dig, Wang Guoxing, Li Ruogui, Gao Wencai...... If this continues, my Jinyiwei will become an empty shell," Wu Mengming almost had a handful of snot and tears.

However, Emperor Chongzhen didn't eat this set, and his partiality was very heavy: "Chang Yu has the wisdom of knowing people and the ability to use people, and those who can be looked at by him are people who have the ability and can do things......

"Your Majesty......" Wu Mengming was dissatisfied and was about to shout, when Wang Chengen walked in: "Your Majesty, General Zhou is waiting below."

Emperor Chongzhen raised his hand to stop Wu Mengming: "You go back to do things first" and did not forget to persuade intimately: "Don't go against Chang Yu everywhere, his means, hey, go, go."

Since the beginning of the year, the Ming Dynasty has been in the north of the war, first the thieves waved the eastern expedition like a broken bamboo to approach the Beijing division, and then the Qing army besieged Ningyuan and raided into the pass, when it was precarious, Chang Yu was ordered to supervise the army to turn the tide, and even the thief army broke the Qing army again, of course, this is not his own credit, but the bloody battle of thousands of soldiers behind him, among which Zhou Yuji, Li Yanhuang won the merit, and the most outstanding military achievements!

At the first time of returning to Beijing in triumph, Emperor Chongzhen summoned him to the palace to face the saint to show his merits, and Wuzhong was able to stand side by side with the three big men in the east factory, because when he defended the capital, he guarded the city gate with one person and one sword.

On the Qianqing Gate, Wang Chengen gently closed the door of the main hall, turned around and waved his hand to a few eunuchs next to him to retreat away, what Emperor Chongzhen and Zhou Yuji said in the hall are unknown to outsiders.

At the same time, there was also a group of people in the Wenyuan Pavilion near Donghua Gate who gathered together to discuss matters, to be precise, the cabinet ministers headed by Wu Fu were accusing Li Yuzhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

"Li Shangshu, you are an old minister of the Four Dynasties, and in previous years, you were even more incompatible with that Wei rebellion, how can you ignore the evening festival and be with that eunuch party" Wu Fu looked regretful, and the tea in his hand splashed very excitedly as he spoke, and Fang Yu and others next to him echoed.

In the early dynasties, Emperor Chongzhen was uncharacteristically torn apart with the ministers, and the strong appointment and dismissal of dozens of officials without the consent of the cabinet caused a great shock in the court, and the ministers talked endlessly, but they did not expect that Li Yuzhi, the secretary of the ministry, actually fought with Emperor Chongzhen and the ministers, which made the cabinet ministers elegant.

In the face of Wu Xuan's accusation, Li Yuzhi calmed down, picked up the teacup and took a sip: "I'm old, I just want to do my last bit for Daming before entering the ground."

"We are ministers, we should serve the court and the emperor, what does Lord Li have to do with the eunuch party when he says this? Could it be that only the eunuch party is serving the imperial court, and we are all vegetarian corpses? "Fang Yuegong.

Li Yuzhi looked up at him and sneered: "Whether we have a vegetarian corpse position has its own comments from others, but that little eunuch turned the tide with his own strength, dare to ask you, who dares to say a word about his vegetarian corpse?" Who else in this world is more dedicated to the court and the emperor than him"

"Words can't be ......" Fang Yu was about to speak when he was interrupted by Li Yuzhi: "What is a eunuch?" Just because he is a eunuch, he is a eunuch, even if he dares to ask you if he has violated the law and discipline, and has harmed the country and the people like Wei Wei, there are all kinds of impeachment chapters, but there has been a certainty! ”

"Why did Master Li look at that little eunuch differently?" Wu Fu and the others were just about to be anxious, but they were stopped by the first assistant Li Banghua, and asked softly, he was very curious about what kind of charm the little eunuch had, and overnight he made this sworn enemy of the eunuch party turn sexual.

Li Yuzhi sighed lightly: "People are different, although the East Factory is still the East Factory, it is not the original East Factory" This is a bit tongue-twisting, but it makes everyone fall into contemplation, how dirty the East Factory was in the past, and now the East Factory ...... It can be described as a model of loyalty and patriotism!

"Last night, the little eunuch came to the door to talk to the old man" Li Yuzhi did not hide the matter of the night meeting with Chang Yu: "I wanted to see how different this young man is."

"The result?" Li Banghua asked.

"It's better to see than to hear, if it's different, he didn't say a word of nonsense when he came to the old man's mansion, and there was no coercion and temptation, he only told the old man his thoughts."

"What's in your mind?" Everyone asked curiously.

Li Yuzhi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Our old age is far better than that of a child."

The crowd was even more curious.

He said to the old man, I am fortunate to serve the country and live up to my youth! Ladies and gentlemen, this is from the mouth of a child who is not as weak as a child, which makes the old man extremely embarrassed, everyone, ask yourself if it is as good as him! Li Yuzhi put down the teacup and roared: "When he led the troops to fight bloodily, what were we doing?" The full court ignored the government, and it was a stumbling block" to get up and go.

Everyone was stunned and silent, stunned on the spot.

"I am fortunate to serve the country and live up to my youth" Li Banghua shook his head with a wry smile: "He not only said it, but also did it, it is better to be old!" He waved his sleeves and left.
