Chapter 466: A Midsummer Visitor

The green trees are thick and the summer days are long. The terrace is reflected in the pond.

The height of summer has come again. This kind of time. It was only that short night. to bring a cool breeze. It's refreshing for a while. But the days are long. People don't just have to endure the unbearable heatwave. Especially those who work outside the home. Sweating is a common thing.

For these ministers who are officials in the court. Summer wasn't easy, either. Now. The high arch has left. No one is worried about something like a blow all of a sudden. And Feng Bao's liquidation action is still continuing. But it's because of Feng Bao. There are a lot of people who don't dare to do anything anymore.

After the cabinet was headed by Zhang Juzheng. Now it is also a clear decree. Without a hitch. And Zhang Juzheng is indeed extremely talented. It can be said that it is not inferior to the Xu steps and high arches. But Zhang Juzheng is stable. There won't be so much resistance from people. The same is true for doing things. Therefore, Zhang Juzheng was able to completely focus all his energy on the government. I don't pay attention to the things that are intriguing. This has allowed Zhang Juzheng to be in charge of the cabinet for less than two months. The results are impressive.

So. The rest of the ministers were idle. Since Longqing sat on the throne. There are many fewer natural and man-made disasters in the territory of the Ming Dynasty. It's not like it used to be. It's the height of summer. It's not drought here. That's where the flood begins. It made the people of the DPRK and China panic and did not say anything. We also have to send people everywhere to rescue the people. These are things that require money. So it didn't come to this time. It was a great test for the treasury of the imperial court.

And then. The money was sent down. There is also the problem that the officials who handle it may enrich their own pockets. If these people's hands are not stretched out. It will not cause any problems with the disaster. But if someone has the audacity to get up. The imperial court is going to send someone to investigate these things.

In a word. Send a big flood. Enough for the imperial court to be busy until the autumn harvest.

Now there is no water. Naturally, these problems are gone. It's very worry-free.

Coupled with Feng Bao's large-scale liquidation action now. It really made those who like to have unclean hands and feet on weekdays stop. To know. These people all understand. If you let a eunuch get your own handle. What kind of consequences will there be. Now, even the eunuchs in various places have stopped their corrupt activities.

There are no such annoying things. The system that the Ming Dynasty has established over the past 200 years has allowed the country to function well. There won't be any problems at all.

Thereupon. Officials in the imperial court. They all started to feel like they had nothing to do. What small actions do you want to do. Now Feng Bao, who was excited, was staring. Who dares to move. I want to do something. Today's things have basically been done by Zhang Juzheng. Plus there's been nothing big lately. I can't do it if I want to.

And now it is the middle of summer. It is a middle-aged or young person who is strong and strong. I guess I'm going to get sleepy. Not to mention those who are already old. Hot sweaty. It's uncomfortable to stick to your body when you're wet. It's also a lot of anger all day long. There is no spirit at all.

The same is true of Zhu Yijun, the emperor. Children are inherently impatient. Now it's the same kind of weather again. If it weren't for Zhang Fan's urging. I'm afraid he doesn't even want to go to the early dynasty. In his opinion. Anyway, he doesn't care about anything now. It doesn't matter if you go to the court or not. But Zhang Fan has been urging from the side. In addition, Empress Dowager Li usually said these things when she saw him. Zhu Yijun had to go to the court.

But fortunately, nothing has happened lately. The last dynasty was soon over. Zhu Yijun, who ended the early dynasty, returned to the palace early.

By the way. Now the rest is coming. Longqing's coffin can no longer be parked in the palace. Qin Tianjian also obeyed Empress Dowager Li's wishes. I chose an auspicious day suitable for entering the earth. It is the Azusa Palace. Longqing is also stationed in the Zhaoling Tomb among the imperial tombs.

Emperor Zigong was introduced. Naturally, it was another lot of labor. It took a while for people to work back and forth.

But there's a detail in the middle. There is a wordless tablet in the middle of the Zhaoling Tomb. There is a stone turtle on its back.

Say this wordless monument. There are quite a few famous ones. There is one on Mount Tai. I don't mention it. There is one in front of Wu Cong's tomb. But he doesn't comment either. It was Qin Hui, the great traitor of the Southern Song Dynasty.

So this wordless monument. Whether it's good or bad. No one can say. However, this is the piece in front of the tomb of Emperor Longqing. What exactly does that mean. I am afraid that even the man who made him does not know. In other words, Emperor Longqing's six-year reign was really smooth and stable. The mediocre one. There is simply nothing to say.

It's just who would have thought. Five hundred years later. It will be transformed into a tourist attraction. And visitors to Zhaoling also like to touch the carving of this stone turtle. There is a folk saying: "Touch the black **." Don't worry; Touch the tortoise's belly. Never get sick. "Maybe it's because Long Qing is mediocre. The reason why the country is also calm. But it doesn't get sick. But you know the consideration.

That's all for gossip.

In a word. Nowadays, there are not many people in the DPRK and China who want to do things seriously. And the same is true for Zhang Fan.

Every morning I go to the morning pilgrimage. Then go to the Qianqing Palace. It is said that this Qianqing Palace is the residence of the emperor. Although Zhang Fan still has the waist card that Longqing gave him back then. However, after Zhu Yijun ascended the throne. Empress Dowager Li did not let Zhang Fan hand it back. It's not that I forgot about it. It was Empress Dowager Li who specially found Zhang Fan and told him personally. Let him go to Zhu Yijun more often on weekdays.

So. Today's Zhang Fan's daily morning itinerary is no different from before. Merely. Because of Zhu Yijun's accession to the throne. The place he was going to was changed from the East Palace to the Qianqing Palace. It's just a different place. But for everyone else. It's definitely a different feeling.

Saying. Who can run to the Qianqing Palace every day. There is no need to report yet. And the emperor was very welcome.

But then again. After all, Zhu Yijun is still young now. If only again. Wait until he is pro-government. Or wait until Zhu Yijun is crowned queen. Zhang Fan can't do this anymore. After all, for the emperor's private life. If you can ask less, you can ask less. This is something that a wooden person can understand.

However, although doing this kind of work, others are very envious. But Zhang Fan himself was not very happy. Mainly because of the weather these days. It's so uncomfortable.

However, Zhu Yijun has no spirit. Zhang Fan goes there every day. It's like going to the yamen for a routine order. I went home early.

At home. Teasing even a child. It's also something that Zhang Fan likes very much. Of course, the most. Now Zhang Fan has more time to spend with his family. This made Zhang Fan very happy. After all, a lot happened some time ago. He's all busy. In addition to greeting my family on weekdays. There will be no time. Now he's going to make amends.

So. This time. Especially in the period after Gao Gong went home. It was the time when the Zhao family and Ru Xue were the happiest. At least Zhang Fan can spend a lot of time with them every day. And that made them happy.

The same is true today. As usual. The early dynasty was nothing at all. There were even a few times. The eunuch shouted, "Something is going on." Nothing to do to retreat from the court". It's just that no one really stood up to speak. After that, he really retreated.

Many ministers are used to this. They all got up early. Come to the palace for an hour. Then go home. I was able to get some more sleep before lunch.

Zhang Fan also came back very early today. But in the afternoon. He was about to get some sleep. The next person has come to report.

"Sir." A descendant came, and Zhang Fan, who was lying on a recliner in the shade of a tree, was about to fall asleep. "There's someone coming outside. I want to see the master. ”

"Who is it? Come over at this time. "That's right. Zhang Fan felt very unhappy. Come to him at this time. It's just looking for trouble. "If it weren't for something important. And he replied to him. Let him come back later. ”

"Yes......" the subordinate hesitated. I thought about it and said. "It's Lord Tobe Shangshu Ge Shouli Ge." He is a current person in the house of the minister of the imperial court. Especially the descendants of Zhang Fan's family. For officials in the DPRK. That's pretty clear.

"What." When I heard that Ge Shouli had found it. Zhang Fan suddenly came to his senses. "Hurry up and please. No. I'll go personally. ”

I tidied up a little and took my wrinkled clothes. Zhang Fan walked out.

On the road. Zhang Fan has been thinking about why Ge Shouli came.

Ge Shouli is here. It's certainly not for any personal matter. Or that Ge Shouli would never go to someone to discuss anything for personal matters. He must have come here for business.

But. This confused Zhang Fan again. Recently, everything has been very calm in the DPRK and China. There is no one who is corrupt or corrupt. There was nothing to do or anything like that. There is still no news from the southwest. What is Ge Shouli here for?

I thought about it for a long time. Until Zhang Fan walked to the door. He didn't figure it out.

"Master Zhang." saw Zhang Fan come out in person. Ge Shouli politely greeted Zhang Fan.

"Lord Ge." Zhang Fan returned his salute. Said with a smile. "I don't know, Lord Ge. At this moment, there is something important to come to Zhang's house. ”

"Alas......" Ge Shouli sighed. looked at Zhang Fan. Said. "Can you go in and talk about it?"

"This is natural." Zhang Fan hurriedly got out of the way. Invite Ge Shouli to enter the door.

Enter the door from Ge Shouli. Until the two of them came to the courtyard of Zhang's mansion and sat down. Ge Shouli didn't say a word. And Zhang Fan looked at Ge Shouli like this. He didn't dare to ask.

Until the next person served tea. Retreated. Ge Shouli sighed again.

Zhang Fan couldn't wait. He asked, "There's no one else here." May I ask why Lord Ge is here? ”

looked at Zhang Fan. Ge Shouli said: "The old man wants Gonggong Feng to stop. And so on. The court is not stable. ”

Listen to what Ge Shouli said. Zhang Fan immediately understood his intention.
