Chapter 703: A Little Story in the Afternoon

After meeting with the three bigwigs of the cabinet, Zhu Ping'an and Li Chunfang met with several high-ranking officials of the Sizhi Cabinet in turn, and then became familiar with other officials of the Sizhi Cabinet, and it was not until about ten o'clock in the morning that he settled down.

Zhu Ping'an was assigned to Li Chunfang's office room, and there were three other officials in the room in addition to Li Chunfang, plus Zhu Ping'an, there were a total of five people.

This room is mainly responsible for clerical matters, such as drafting documents and edicts, offering green words, sorting and folding, and so on.

On the first day, Zhu Ping'an, the newly promoted cabinet secretary, was in Wuyi Palace, just like he went to the court for an internship in his senior year, asking for advice, watching, and learning from Li Chunfang and others to deal with the folds, upload and issue documents, and other matters.

Oh, and the errands.

The cabinet is equivalent to the political center of the Ming Dynasty, and many instructions are issued from here to the six ministries, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple, factory guards and other institutions, and there was no telephone, fax, mail, etc. in ancient times, and it can only be conveyed by manpower.

Zhu Ping'an ran two legs today.

A leg is to go to the Zongren Mansion to convey the document of Emperor Jiajing to reward the kings. Because the kings offered silver to fund military salaries, among them: Zhu Tingqi, the acting king, offered 5,000 taels of silver, Zhu Youchu, the king of Ru, offered 3,000 taels of silver, Zhu Zai, the king of Germany, offered 1,000 taels of silver, and eight war horses, Zhu Zai, the king of Hui (Tulun), and the lieutenant of the auxiliary state of Ninghua Wangfu offered 1,000 taels of silver to help the border salary, and Emperor Jiajing rewarded the kings who offered silver.

The other leg was to go to the Criminal Department to check the case file of the Yang murder case. This is a death penalty review case.

For example, in the Ming Dynasty, any death penalty case will be reviewed by the prefecture, county, government, (province), province, and criminal department, and finally the approval of Emperor Jiajing before the death penalty can be executed.

Now the Yang murder case is here for Emperor Jiajing, of course, Emperor Jiajing's matter is the matter of the cabinet, so the case was transferred to the cabinet.

Without investigation, there is no right to speak, so Zhu Ping'an was sent to the Criminal Department to check the file materials.

When he arrived at the Criminal Department, looking at the full amount of nearly ten catties of case files, Zhu Ping'an looked confused. Fortunately, a director of the Criminal Department asked the officers of the Criminal Department to help Zhu Ping'an deliver to the gate of Xiyuan. However, the way after Xiyuan entered the door could only rely on Zhu Ping'an himself.

When Zhu Ping'an arrived at Wuyi Hall with a ten-pound dossier, his back was already sweating like rain, and his hands were sore.

After sending the file to the designated office room, Zhu Ping'an returned to his seat, picked up the teacup, and poured a cup of herbal tea, feeling the herbal tea flowing in his throat and abdomen, as if he had been reborn.

"Hehe, Zihou is tired." Li Chunfang asked with a smile.

"It's okay, it's okay." Zhu Ping'an gasped and replied.

"Hehe, it's good to be a young man, I went to the Metropolitan Inspection Institute just now, and now my legs are about to break. Well, for you, this is one of the few perks we have. Li Chunfang teased with a smile, and then handed Zhu Ping'an a folding fan.

"Thank you, Master Li." Zhu Ping'an's eyes lit up when he saw the folding fan, and after thanking Li Chunfang, he unceremoniously took the folding fan, opened it suddenly, and lightly fanned it twice, and a cool breeze followed the fan, which was much cooler.

After a while, Zhu Ping'an eased up, and while asking Li Chunfang for advice, he tried to sort the folds.

The Mongol Altan Khan invaded Datong again, and his subordinates invaded Du'er and Xin'ai in Liaodong, and the military situation was full of twists and turns; The second department of household workers reported the amount of silver used for military salaries on each side, and reported that there was a shortage of silver in the treasury, so please pay additional taxes; There was a serious famine in Xuanfu and Datong, and people had no food, but people fed on people.

The pirate Wang Zhi sent his subordinates Xu Hai, Chen Dong, Xiao Xian, Ma Ye and others to seduce more than 10,000 Japanese pirates, drive more than 1,000 ships, and land from Zhoushan, Xiangshan County, Zhejiang, and other places, rob Taizhou, Wenzhou, Ningbo, and Shaoxing, capture the walled cities, kill and kidnap residents, and make disturbances in eastern Zhejiang, and Jiangnan and Jiangbei are in an emergency at the same time......

To sum up, there are three main problems, one is the northern captive, the other is the southern widow, and the other is short of money.

Daming is really worried about internal and external troubles now, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help frowning when he looked at the twists and turns......

In the afternoon in the capital, the sun hanging in the sky seems to be on fire, baking the heaven and the earth, the water outside the courtyard is hot, the ground is about to smoke, there is no wind, the stuffy heat makes people breathless.

After listening to Yuxuan's hostess Li Shu for lunch, she used a bowl of homemade ice cheese, and asked people to go to the ice cellar to take a few basins of ice and put them in the bedroom to cool down, and divided a pot of buns, a little girl, and a few big girls.

With the ice basin to cool down, the temperature in the room is several degrees lower than outside, and the outside is scorching, and the room is cool and comfortable.

Take an afternoon nap.

The little girl with the bun was on duty in the suite of the master bedroom, and while the young lady was resting, she was also wearing only her underwear in addition to her outer clothes, and closed her eyes on the couch and squinted for a while.

Because she was on duty in the suite last night, she had insomnia again, so she closed her eyes and couldn't help falling asleep leisurely.

I don't know how long I slept.

By the time the little girl woke up rubbing her eyes, the sun outside was already nearly half in the west, and the sunlight was not so poisonous.

It's bad, why did you oversleep, did the young lady get up, didn't I make an appointment with the second lady to reward them today.

The little girl hurriedly grabbed a handful of her messy hair, sat up from the couch, and was in a hurry.

At this time, a little girl walked in in the living room with a basin of ice, and when she saw that the little girl with buns woke up, she laughed deliciously, "Sister Hua'er, you are awake." Just now, Miss saw that you were sleeping fragrantly, so she didn't let anyone call you, so she took Sister Qin'er to the back garden to enjoy the lotus. Miss hurts you, let's not call you, let you sleep more, and deliberately give you half a day off. ”

Yes?

When the little girl heard this, her mouth suddenly couldn't close, and she thought that the young lady was so good to herself, and her heart was sweet.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps in the living room, and the footsteps were a little chaotic, as if the pace was erratic and unsteady.

Then I smelled a strong smell of wine.

Then I saw Zhu Ping'an burping wine, wearing a blue gauze fragrant leaf crown on his head, and walked in with staggering steps.

"Uncle, I'm back so early today. Miss and Miss II went to the back garden to enjoy the lotus, and they haven't come back yet. ”

The little girl with the bun subconsciously pulled up a thin blanket to cover her neck down, she was only wearing an undershirt at this time, and her little face was red with shame.

"Hmmm......"

Zhu Ping'an nodded, and walked to the master bedroom, but he stumbled after only two steps and almost hit the door.

The little girl with the bun realized that her uncle had drunk too much, her face was red, and her whole body smelled of wine.

"Uncle, be careful...... Shen'er, you go to the small kitchen to bring a bowl of hangover soup to your uncle. The little girl with the bun didn't care about what she was wearing, she hurriedly got down from the couch and helped Zhu Ping'an, for fear that Zhu Ping'an would break it and fall, and at the same time let the little girl go to the small kitchen to serve hangover soup.

"No, no, I'm not drunk, just help me go to the bedroom and lie down for a while." Zhu Ping'an shook his head and waved his hand with his tongue wide.
