Chapter 236: Sweetness for the Ministers
Princess Xin looked at Empress Dowager Zhang quietly, and said as if chatting: "Also, the concubine is over eighty, and it is normal to be anxious." www.biquge.info The last time I went to visit, the concubine said a few candidates, but I think that the little niece of the British duke, named Zhang Yun, is very good. ”
Empress Dowager Zhang smiled in her heart, and finally got to the point, and echoed it: "I don't believe in you, the princess, I haven't been out of the palace much, but you have always known the general situation, you said it was good, it must be good." Wait a few more years to see, if it's really good, let's choose the emperor. ”
The selection of concubines in the Ming Dynasty was very cumbersome, completely involuntary, all of them were handled by the elders, not much better than the court discussion.
Princess Xin looked at the Empress Dowager Zhang carefully, and said with a smile, "The imperial sister-in-law doesn't know yet, rumors outside have spread all over the capital, saying that the British public plotted against the emperor and was imprisoned by the emperor......"
Before Princess Xin finished speaking, Empress Dowager Zhang waved her hand to interrupt her, and said in a somewhat cold tone: "Sister, you know the rules of our royal family, what you shouldn't say, what you shouldn't do, you have to be measured in your heart." ”
Princess Xin was awe-inspiring in her heart, after all, she was still younger, and looked at Empress Dowager Zhang and smiled reluctantly: "Yes, sister remember." ”
Empress Dowager Zhang looked at Princess Xin, frowned, and sighed in her heart.
She has not stopped since she moved into Cining Palace, the clan, the ministers, the eunuchs, the princes and nobles, and now even the princess of the auxiliary government of King Xin has come.
Empress Dowager Zhang belongs to the kind of typical 'virtuous' woman, who has read some books, understands the general situation, and understands the righteousness, but for government affairs and the situation in the world, she has never been involved, nor does she want to be involved, upholding the belief that 'the harem does not interfere in politics', whether it is Tianqi or Zhu Xu, she has never said more than half a sentence for this.
However, British business is very important, and I can't complain that Princess Xin, who has always been quiet, has entered the palace to knock on the side.
Empress Dowager Zhang thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, go back and tell King Xin, calm down, and I'll go to see the emperor later and ask about the situation." ”
Princess Xin's face was overjoyed, and she quickly stood up and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law." ”
Ye Xianggao stood in front of the Taihe Gate, standing scattered, discussing, there were more than forty people, all of whom were members of the imperial court above the third grade.
Zhao Nanxing's thin face, with an arrogant look, stood beside Ye Xianggao, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Ye, the emperor is too willful, we are just afraid that we can't wait here." ”
As soon as Zhao Nanxing's voice fell, a person behind him stood up and said loudly: "What Lord Zhao said is that the emperor is young and ignorant, and no one advises him, which is really the misfortune of the country. ”
"Okay, count me as one, before the blood of the loyal minister, he also died well!"
"I hope that the emperor will wake up, listen to the opinions of the ministers, and the words of the loyal ministers, and prosper me Ming!"
"Why don't we go straight to Wenzhao Pavilion, please see the emperor and present our advice!"
These adults are excited, gathered together, and if you say a word to me, you really want to break into the palace.
There were guards staring at them not far away, and when they saw that they had this posture, they hurriedly recruited someone to come over, and at the same time sent someone to report it.
In Wenzhao Pavilion, Zhu Xu looked at it for a while, but it was also very boring, and he got up again to read the book.
He found that since he became the emperor, all he could do seemed to be the only thing he could do.
Cao Huachun stood not far from him, looked at his back and said, "Your Majesty, Ye Xianggao and others are outside the Imperial Palace, clamoring to face the saint. ”
Zhu Xu had in his hand the transcript of the governor of Shaanxi, saying that there was a severe drought in many places in Shaanxi this year, and some officials colluded to conceal the report and embezzle the food and salary for disaster relief, causing many civil uprisings.
Zhu Xu felt a lot of pressure in his heart, the national drought was getting closer and closer, but he had no time to clean up the guards in Shaanxi, west, Shanxi, Henan and other places, Sun Chengzong was still in the southwest, and when he came back, he had to go to Liaodong non-stop.
The most chaotic provinces can only wait for the aftermath of Liaodong.
Zhu Xu thought for a while and said, "How long has it been?" ”
Cao Huachun said, "Almost half an hour, Princess Xin also came out of Cining Palace. ”
Zhu Xu put down the notebook, pondered for a while, and said, "It seems that we have to divert their attention and inform Wei Zhongxian that they can do it." ”
Cao Huachun didn't know what 'hands-on' meant, and he was a little uneasy, looked at his back, and hesitated, "Yes." ”
Gu Bingqian's house.
Gu Bingqian and a group of henchmen, including the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, the imperial history of Kedao, etc., more than a dozen people, sitting in the lobby, were all smiling comfortably, drinking tea and chatting.
"Pavilion Elder, if the Donglin Party makes such a fuss, it will annoy the emperor even more, and it will definitely not add cabinet ministers, your first assistant is really the prime minister's prestige!"
"Not only that, the British public has unloaded the Chinese military capital, and the emperor will definitely have a hard time, and he will definitely rely more on the first assistant."
"There is only one Yang Lian in the Donglin Party who has the appearance in the court, as long as the emperor does not add to the cabinet, this court meeting will definitely be the most prestigious of our cabinet elders!"
"It won't be long before we use some means to drive Yang Lian away, the elder of the pavilion is in the court, and the day of calling for wind and rain is not far away!"
Gu Bingqian stroked his beard and smiled, smiling and not speaking, just looking out of the door with a deep face.
Gu Bingqian was indeed very excited in his heart, in his opinion, it would not be long before the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry would be in his hands. At that time, he will be worthy of the name, and he will be able to 'drive away evil and use righteousness', drive the Donglin Party out of the court, and show his long-cherished wish.
Gu Bingqian thought proudly for a while, and suddenly said to himself, "I have to compensate the emperor, well, the treasury is empty, I will go out to contact it later, and then donate some silver to the household department, presumably it will eliminate the unhappiness in the emperor's heart......
"Sir, sir, someone is coming."
Gu Bingqian was thinking proudly, a subordinate hurriedly ran in, and an unstable person tripped over the threshold and fell into a dog eating.
Gu Bingqian's momentum suddenly came out, looked at the subordinate who got up, and shouted with a cold face: "Bastard, when did you learn so unruly, come here, specialize in the law!" ”
Now everyone was about to cry, and said, "Master, ...... he came."
Gu Bingqian frowned, became more and more annoyed, and scolded: "Who is here, tell me clearly!" ”
As soon as Gu Bingqian's voice fell, a voice outside also sounded, "Gu Shoufu, it seems that you have forgotten about the miscellaneous family." ”
Gu Bingqian's face changed slightly, and when he looked up, he saw Wei Zhongxian, who was dressed in a python suit and was in high spirits, walking out and standing at the door, holding his hands and looking at him with a gloomy smile.
Gu Bingqian's body shook, as if something was stuck in his throat, his eyes widened, and he couldn't say a word.
Everyone in the lobby stood up in panic and stared at Wei Zhongxian.
Wei Zhongxian walked into the lobby, kept looking at Gu Bingqian, and said with a smile, "Gu Ge Lao was surprised to see the miscellaneous family?" ”
It is also difficult to explain the grievances between Wei Zhongxian and Gu Bingqian, the two are divided and combined, in short, Gu Bingqian is sorry for Wei Zhongxian. Wei Zhongxian was imprisoned, and Gu Bingqian did not step on one or two feet.
