Chapter 131: Oolong

Mandarin Palace!

The three-way drum sounded, and the hundred officials heard the bell ringing and entered. The civil and military are divided into two classes to enter the court, the text is from the left door, and the military is from the right door, and after entering the house, it is established in order according to the grade.

The upper corridor of the Wenhua Hall is set up in the middle of the throne, which is called the "golden platform". The bell and drum division of the left and right of His Majesty Dan set up music, and the generals of the Han Dynasty between the doors of the palace are all wearing Ming iron armor, and there are captains holding knives against each other after the left and right of the royal road and the civil and military attachΓ© class.

When the music started, Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youzhu appeared, sat on the dragon chair, and after a set of rituals, Zhu Youzhu raised his voice and said: "Do you have something to play?"

Yang Tinghe, a scholar of Zuo Chunfang University, came out and said: "Chen Yang Tinghe has something to play, the prince is young, and it is the time of cultivating his mind, so the minister asks to set up an attendant in the East Palace to be a classmate with the prince." If the prince has stubborn behavior, it is better to follow the good path and persuade the prince to take the right path, be a virtuous minister with high morality, and be far from a despicable villain. I hope Your Majesty will advise you! ”

Yang Tinghe meant that he wanted to find someone to accompany the prince to study, and persuade the prince when the prince was naughty, so that the prince could walk on the right path.

Recently, Zhu Houzhao has often disappeared, always asking for Gong on the grounds of stomach pain, and then disappeared, Yang Tinghe asked all the eunuchs in the East Palace, and even went to the thatched house to look for it in person, not to mention the prince, not even a single toilet paper was found.

Yang Tinghe, as the prince's teacher, was very troubled by Zhu Houzhao's behavior, but Zhu Houzhao was the prince, he couldn't be beaten or scolded, and he was afraid of hurting the prince's fragile heart if he spoke too much, so he wanted to find a person with high character and both talent and virtue to be a waiter in the East Palace, and to accompany the prince to study, which can be regarded as a constraint.

Zhu Youzhu pondered for a moment and said, "It's okay for Aiqing to play, but the candidate for this waiter needs to be carefully considered."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Yang Tinghe's face was happy and he retreated to the court. Ma Wen, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was promoted to the rank and said: "Your Majesty, in recent years, the ordnance of the Shenji Battalion has been damaged a lot, and the minister requests that the treasury be allocated two taels of silver to replenish the armaments......"

"No!" Qiu Jun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it is impossible, although Ma Shangshu is playing out of public intentions, but the treasury is empty, and there are still some silver taels, but it is prepared for the Yellow River to repair the embankment, and it cannot be moved, last year the Yellow River broke the embankment, and the people were displaced. Therefore, at the beginning of spring this year, the Yellow River dam must be repaired. ”

After Qiu Jun finished speaking, the DPRK was silent, and to put it bluntly, the treasury was still insufficient and could not do two things at the same time. In fact, the ministers of the court knew exactly how much silver was in the treasury.

Over the years, the imperial court has been using a large amount of silver to the outside world, and Zhu Youzhu is unwilling to increase civil taxes, so there has not been much silver in the treasury.

Zhu Youzhu also felt a headache, and after a moment of silence, he said: "I really can't bear to see the people homeless, and the treasury is prepared to repair the embankment of the Yellow River, so you can't act rashly. Ordnance can't be left alone, so let's do it, I will allocate 100,000 taels of silver from the inner treasury to replenish the ordnance, and this year, the use of the palace will be halved, and the imperial tomb will also be temporarily suspended......"

The funeral system stipulates that the emperor, regardless of age, will start to build a mausoleum one year after he ascends the throne, and the emperor is not allowed to stop work on the emperor's mausoleum, and the suspension of work is unknown, so as soon as Zhu Youzhu said this, the courtiers were suddenly in an uproar.

Ma Wensheng knelt on the ground and choked up: "Your Majesty, the old minister would rather put aside the ordnance than see the imperial tomb stop. Please also ask Your Majesty to retract your order, otherwise the old slave will not be able to kneel. ”

Zhu Youzhu came down to help Ma Wensheng and said, "Aiqing, you have no jokes, I have already said it, how can I take it back?" You are the elder of the Four Dynasties, and you have always been conscientious, I believe in you, and I have to worry more about the ordnance, and I have to thank you. ”

Ma Wensheng couldn't cry and said, "Minister, do your best, and then die!"

Zhu Youzhu sat back on the dragon chair and said, "Is there anything else to play in the Qing family?"

"The ministers are all the imperial historians Fei Rong Qi, and the ministers heard that Ren Hao, the inspector of the trial, colluded with the emperor, cheated in the imperial examination, and discredited His Majesty's trust, and his actions can be punished!"

"Wailang Che, a member of the minister's household department, seconded the proposal, and the minister heard that this Ren Hao relied on the position of Jinyi Wei Qianhu, robbed the people's daughters, and oppressed the people, which is a great crime!"

Zhu Youzhu said angrily: "I just punished Cheng Minzheng for favoritism and fraud a few days ago, I didn't expect that there are still people who are bold and bold, and the chaos will try, if I don't implement the heavy code, I'm afraid I won't be able to deter these bold people and come ......."

"Your Majesty and slow ......"

Mu Bin's face was indifferent, but in fact, he was already laughing in his heart, it was harder to hold back his laughter than to hold his urine, and he secretly wondered where did Ren Hao come from? This must be Cao Wei's badness, if you don't take this opportunity to rectify these people with other plans, wouldn't you have wasted this great opportunity?

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there must be a misunderstanding here, and there will never be such a person in the brocade guards under the minister's rule!"

Fei Rong said indignantly: "Mu Bin, you are the commander of the Jinyi Guard, naturally you want to shield the lawless people under you, and now it is going viral outside, the reason why Ren Hao dared to participate in the imperial examination fraud is actually the courage given by you Mu Bin......"

As soon as these words came out, the courtiers' faces changed a little, it turned out that they thought that Fei Rong's target was a thousand households, who knew that now they were pointing directly at Mu Bin, could it really be that this commander could be pulled off the horse?

Che Jianshao took out a fold from his arms and said: "Your Majesty, the minister heard that Mu Bin went to Nanjing City for some reason a few days ago, and the Nanjing prefect suddenly died a few days later, and the minister thought that there must be a secret in this, and he should take down Mu Bin......"

The scholars Liu Jian and Xie Qian looked strange, they naturally knew what was going on, because it was about the prince, Mu Bin's trip to Nanjing had been kept secret, and even the fact that Yang Hong, the prefect of Nanjing, was a bandit of the White Lotus Sect was concealed. Now Che sees Shao making a fuss about this matter, which is tantamount to pulling the prince off the horse......

Sure enough, Zhu Youzhu said angrily: "Come on, take Che Jianshao to the edict prison, I want to know who instructed you, and you actually talked nonsense and framed the ministers of the DPRK and the central government!"

Che saw that Shao was stunned, he didn't know what was wrong with him, he could make the emperor, who had always been generous, so angry, and let the captain drag him out of the hall in a daze.

Fei Rong hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, even though the matter in Nanjing has wronged Mu Bin, but Ren Hao of Jinyi Wei Qianhu helped to cheat ......"

"Lord Fei......" Mu Bin said lightly: "The inspector of this examination is not Ren Hao, but a thousand households named Cao Wei, Lord Fei can't even figure out who it is, but he impeached this official in this court, it's really a big joke!"

"Huh? Not Ren Hao? Fei Rong opened his mouth wide, shook his head and said, "How is it possible, Mu Bin, you are shielding your subordinates, right?" It must be like this! ”

Mu Bin said coldly: "As soon as this matter is investigated, how dare this official lie in front of His Majesty, but you Lord Fei, I don't know if there is any other plan to slander this official......

Fei Rong still wanted to defend himself, but he heard Zhu Youzhu say: "Mu Bin, Cao Wei, this leather monkey has arrived in Beijing?" Ha, bring him to see me another day! ”

Mu Bin arched his hand and said: "The minister obeys the order!"

"Fei Rong, as the imperial history of the capital, has the responsibility of admonishing, but he doesn't know right from wrong, he makes such an oolong, he will be fined for one year, and he will retire from the dynasty!"

Zhu Youzhu left, and the courtiers saluted each other. Fei Rong stood in the hall in despair, and only woke up from a dream after the courtiers had left, looking at the empty hall, he felt cold, and couldn't help but shiver.
