Chapter 5: Catching Insects

The guys in the hall on the first floor of Juxian Pavilion are cleaning, and there are a few idle tables of guests eating in the hall, and the rest are chatting in the chess of His Excellency Juxian.

Old lady Xue went home and changed into his regular clothes, and slowly walked to Juxian Pavilion with his entourage: "Man, is there still an upper room?" ”

The guy saw that Old Lady Xue was dressed extraordinarily, and he greeted him and bowed: "Also, how many people are you?" ”

Old lady Xue: "Six or seven people, you tell the kitchen that the food should be a little salty, and the wine should be good red yeast wine, as for what kind of meal, I will tell you later." ”

Xiao Er: "Okay, if you have something, you call me, and I will lead the way for you." Xiao Er led Old Lady Xue and the servant to the room on the second floor and exited the room by himself.

The servant asked Old Lady Xue, "Old lady, did you say that a few adults will come here in a while?" ”

The old lady sat at the dining table calmly and drank the tea and snacks that Xiao Er had just served: "The one who should come will always come, you go downstairs to welcome the adults." ”

When Shi Aifeng returned to his Guogong Mansion, he was angry at the porter, and his wife entered the room: "Yo! What's going on out there? Why did you provoke such a big anger, I don't know what happened to me? ”

Shi Aifeng is a strict wife, and he immediately smiled and said, "What did Madam say!" The husband just quarreled with the old lady of the Xue family in the court. ”

Madame: "Because of the establishment of the Jinyi Guard?" ”

Shi Aifeng: "How does Madame know?" ”

Madame nodded his head: "Who in Kyoto doesn't know now, I heard that you quarreled with Old Lady Xue earlier?" You, you! What a nerd! ”

Shi Aifeng asked with a surprised face, "Why did Madam say that?" ”

Madame shook her head: "Old lady Xue is the minister of the former emperor's entrustment, not to mention that he is the emperor's young boy's young guard, although the young master is not as good as the young master, but he also watched the emperor grow up, plus his Xue family's sister-in-law Xue Zheng still grew up with the current emperor, today's things are nine times out of ten that the emperor ordered the old lady of the Xue family to do." ”

Mrs. hated iron and looked at her husband: "You, you, I said that you are a fool and I am praising you!" ”

Shi Aifeng was a little flustered: "What did the lady say I should do?" ”

Mrs. asked Shi Aifeng: "Didn't the old lady of the Xue family say anything to you when he left?" ”

Shi Aifeng thought for a while: "He said that he could go to Juxian Pavilion to gather at noon." ”

Madame: "Then go!" Then the lady shouted to the servant outside the door: "Come, prepare regular clothes for the master, let the sedan chair man prepare the sedan chair for a while, and the master will go out." ”

The homes of the ministers of the state who had just opposed the emperor's establishment of Jinyiwei in the imperial court were ready to go to Juxian Pavilion one by one.

Outside the Juxian Pavilion, the servant of the old lady Xue's family looked at the sedan chair that came from afar and stopped in front of the door, he saw that Shi Aifeng came out of it, and he walked up head-on: "Lord Shi, our old lady has been waiting for you upstairs for a long time, please follow me upstairs." ”

Shi Aifeng: "Hmm! After the servant welcomed Shi Aifeng upstairs and then went downstairs to greet the other adults, Shi Aifeng looked, he let his entourage knock on the door, he only heard a voice inside: "Come in!" ”

Shi Aifeng entered the room, and he saw Old Lady Xue standing in front of the window: "Old lady! ”

Old lady Xue turned around and saw Shi Aifeng: "Are you here?" Come, sit here and wait, I asked Xiao Er to prepare refreshments for you, and when we are done talking, we can eat here. ”

Shi Aifeng and Old Lady Xue were drinking tea and chatting at the dinner table, and the servants of the Xue family downstairs greeted the arriving officials, and after a while, the room was full of officials who opposed the establishment of Jinyi Wei in the morning.

Old lady Xue sat in the first seat, and he looked at the officials present: "Princes and ministers, I, Xue Ligang, are here today to say a few words to you. ”

The officials present were all dressed in regular clothes, and they sat precariously listening to Mrs. Xue.

Old lady Xue: "In the early court today, the ministers opposed the establishment of the Jinyi Guard, the reason was nothing more than that they were afraid that some things would happen again, and the emperor also promised in the court that he would not make events like the previous emperor's time. ”

Everyone was silent, and they thought to themselves: You said nicely, you won't monitor the princes and ministers of the court now, but what about the future? Who can guarantee that? Is it the first emperor or the expelled king? Or those empty words?

Old lady Xue: "After the establishment of Jinyi Guard in the army and on the border, it is more beneficial for our dynasty to control the border, if the ministers still have objections, they can give advice again tomorrow morning, but you can also think about it, the emperor is not to dismiss the king, his patience is not so much!" "At this moment, Old Lady Xue is nakedly threatening the ministers.

The ministers were angry, and Shi Aifeng looked up at Old Lady Xue: "Is this threatening us, Old Lady?" The old lady's face twitched: "How can I threaten my colleagues?" I'm just reminding you that this world belongs to the emperor after all. ”

There was silence in the room, and Old Lady Xue picked up a glass of wine, he raised his head and drank it: "Of course, if you don't hinder the emperor from establishing the Jinyi Guard, the emperor can allow your family members to follow during the autumn hunt." ”

Every year in the autumn hunt, the emperor will give the prince and prince marriage, so the number of female dependents who participate in the autumn hunt every year is limited, and some officials here stood up when they heard the news: "Is this true?" Lord Xue? ”

Old lady Xue nodded: "It's true, I know that Ling Ai Lingzi in the family here is still unmarried, so..."So let the children of the opposing officials participate in the autumn hunt, first, if they agree to establish the Jinyi Guard, the emperor can give marriage to the children of these people, if not, the emperor can take a random charge on the autumn hunt and blame it....

Some of the officials in the row thought of this, and one of them stood up and walked towards Old Lady Xue: "Old lady, although I don't recommend setting up a brocade guard, I don't want to make a deal with my son's marriage, I'll go first!" After saying that, the old official walked out of the private room.

Old Lady Xue looked around at the people at the dinner table with his eyes, and he said, "Is there anyone else leaving?" Just now, Mrs. Wang left, I won't stop you, but if you still have people to leave, I'm sorry, you can't go out. ”

After speaking, Old Lady Xue took out a few paper slips from his cuffs, and Shi Aifeng and the others saw dense words on the paper.

Old lady Xue coughed twice, the servant poured him a cup of tea, Old lady Xue took a sip, and he spoke slowly: "Shi Aifeng, third-class Jingguo Gong, sister-in-law Shi Minxin Hongwu was exposed for corruption and bribery during his tenure in Lincheng County in 26 years, Shi Minxin secretly hired Jianghu killers to kill people, according to my Ming law, he should be beheaded!" ”

"Qingguo Gong Wang Dan, his wife and brother, in the 14th year of Hongwu enclosure of grain, so that the local people have no food to eat and no land to plant, the people have to leave their hometown, according to my Ming law, five horses are divided!"

Whenever Mrs. Xue read out the name of an official, all the officials were shocked when she read it, and Mrs. Xue looked at the officials present after reading it.

He smiled and said, "Ministers, are you still against it tomorrow morning?" This list was collected by the secret guards in the hands of the emperor, and this information can be in my hands, which means that the emperor also has it, as for why the emperor didn't take it out a few days ago, it is because some of the ministers are old ministers of the three dynasties, and some people are auxiliary ministers, but what about you? ”

"Humph! The reason why I let Mrs. Wang go first just now is because his family is clean and honest, and you, hehe, forgive the old man for saying an undignified word, it's a little dirty, right?! ”
