Chapter 600: Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace
Since it was a report of the great victory, after the military department reported to the emperor, it naturally did not forget to send people to report the victory in the whole city. For a time, no one in the city knew the address and fought a big victory. Since the early years of Yongle sent troops, hundreds of thousands of troops in the imperial court have been trapped there and cannot move, not to mention ordinary sergeants, even senior generals have suffered countless losses, and if the civil official is degraded and handed over, it is almost synonymous with death, so all relatives and friends who serve in front of the army or are officials at the address, are all celebrated. As a result, the Jingshi, which was originally decorated for the Halloween Festival, is now naturally even more colorful.
Zhu Di got such good news on the way back. Thinking that tomorrow is the Wanshou Festival, this is actually the best congratulatory gift, he has a big heart, and he doesn't want to spoil his mood at the moment, so he ordered someone to leave a message to Liu Yongcheng, no longer need to bring Li Maofang, close the door of Wanchun Palace, and let him fend for himself. When he returned to the Qianqing Palace, he recruited Wang Jinghong, the eunuch of the inner official, and planned to order him to go to the Yangwu Bo Mansion to give the gift.
However, in the past, the gifts were generally in banknotes, and if there were noble ministers with great merit, they would add dozens of horses, or platinum and gold, but he had given a lot of these in the past, and now he did not want to reward these mundane things. Standing up and taking two steps back and forth, he ordered someone to grind the ink and lay the paper. Seeing this scene, Wang Jinghong hurriedly stepped forward and pressed one end with a paperweight, while he was clinging to the other end.
Zhu Di was dipped in thick ink, and a smug smile appeared on his face. A small address of the secretary of the political department but dragged the Ming army to move, Zhang Fu alone went out of the town three times, and then changed one after another, dozens of rebel forces were almost pacified, but only Li Li either ran to Laos or hid somewhere else, once the army retreated, it came back, so it was the most confidant. Now that Li Li has been captured, it means that Jiao Nan can stop, which means that he didn't use the wrong person!
"People must be determined, and if they are determined, they will be successful. People in the world, ancient and modern, have not made meritorious contributions without ambition. Auxiliary country and security, loyalty and bravery, on the ancestral virtue, under the cultivation of good materials, this is called Zhang's ambition, regret the encouragement, do not live up to my hope. ”
As soon as the pen was lifted, Zhu Di personally covered the small seal he used on weekdays, and then ordered the little eunuch to put the painting on the side of the horizontal case to dry, and then remembered another thing. Seeing Wang Jinghong standing solemnly on the side, he asked, "What rare things have you gained when you come back from the West this time?" ”
The first time was the sixth time to go to the West, and it was an early return, so Wang Jinghong couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. It is necessary to know that every time you return from the ocean, there are regulations, and the items brought back are made one by one and sent to the imperial review, but the emperor will not look at it carefully after all. At this moment, it was unclear whether the emperor had heard any rumors before he suddenly mentioned it, and Wang Jinghong had to be cautious.
"Back to the emperor, this time the minister and Gonggong Zheng returned from the West, bringing back a total of 300 ivory, 40 boxes of red sapphires, 300 taels of fine pearls, 8 boxes of ambergris, 200 rhino horns, and amber ......."
"I'm not asking you for details." Zhu Di had no interest in these trivial numbers, and immediately interrupted Wang Jinghong's words. Thinking that if the treasures given to the minister became an example, I was afraid that the vassal king's clan relatives would also ask for it, so he dismissed the idea just now, and then ordered, "Forget it, give Yang Wubo Mansion two thousand ingots, and then bring this character over." In addition, after finishing the errands, I went to the Ministry of Officials and let Shangshu Jianyi enter the palace. ”
Although the emperor didn't say what to do with Jian Yi entering the palace, Wang Jinghong had already woken up and hurriedly bowed down to agree. When he took the paper out of the house, he first sent it to the royal prison to be framed, and then he went to fetch the two thousand ingot coins to be rewarded. In the face of the two large boxes full of them, he had to order the two little eunuchs to load the cart and wait outside the palace gate, and he went to the imperial prison to get the framed imperial pen. By the time his group arrived at Yangwubo's Mansion, it was already in the west.
This announcement was naturally tossed for a long time, and it happened that on this day, Mrs. Wang also brought Zhang Tian and Zhang Ke over to relax, and when Zhang Yue finished busy and entered the house, she smiled and said: "I came to such a good news on the emperor's birthday festival, and Yang Wubo finally showed his face greatly." Since the emperor has given the imperial pen, the seal inspection department of the Ministry of Officials will re-engrave the coupon in about a few days. By the way, Brother Yue, I heard that when the emperor was reviewing the avant-garde of the government army in the Xiyuan teaching field today, Li Maofang stopped him? ”
Zhang Ke has been left in the British Mansion by Mrs. Wang in the past few days, playing with her two young cousins in her spare time, or doing needlework, accompanying Mrs. Wang to talk about family life, and even being dragged by Mrs. Wang to the small hall to deal with housework twice, compared to the lifeless before, her spirit has changed a lot now. However, when she heard Li Maofang's three words at this time, she couldn't help but have a blank face, and suddenly clenched the handkerchief in her hand, and the look in her eyes suddenly disappeared.
"I don't know what happened to the stopper, but when the emperor left the inner teaching field, Gonggong Liu, who was originally ordered to send Li Maofang back to Wanchun Palace, happened to come forward to report it, and the emperor was immediately furious. Looking at that, it seems that Li Maofang has done something unsuccessful. According to this situation, he and Sister Ke's marriage is only afraid that it will not be counted. ”
Zhu Di brought the Imperial Horse Supervisor this morning, and there were many people, so naturally the news could not be hidden, and many people in the army knew about it, and naturally some people understood that Li Maofang and the Zhang family's family affairs seemed to be a little hindered, so they reported to the British government. However, even if Mrs. Wang had some hope when she got the message, she didn't expect Zhang Yue's last sentence to be so sure.
"Brother Yue, could it be ......"
"It's a big crime to collide with the royal driver, but if he is a grandson, the emperor may let it go, but the crime of bullying the king is not trivial." Zhang Yue saw Zhang Ke's face blue and white for a while, and then he was relieved, and couldn't help but remember that the marriage book had been decided, if Zhang Hui didn't have enough courage, I was afraid that he would still have to delay for a lifetime, and he couldn't help but feel a little gloomy in his heart. But thinking that if Li Maofang could really die, Zhang Hui, who was a father, should show some courage, so he said in an aggravated tone, "Auntie, you still have to discuss it with Second Uncle Hui, the matter has come to this, and he should try his best." ”
Wanchun Palace is located in the south of the Taiye Pond in Xiyuan, where a concubine once lived, although Liu Yongcheng was said to be a eunuch of the imperial horse, but he had also been here twice before. In just half a day's work, all the people up and down here were replaced by him, and at this time he stood under the plaque with gold letters on a blue background, and there was a deep cold light hidden in his small eyes.
"Father-in-law."
"Those witnesses are already optimistic?"
"Yes, just now the Qianqing Palace sent someone over to spread the word, saying that the emperor didn't want to see Li Maofang, and the father-in-law didn't need to mention him, let him ...... Die. The middle-aged eunuch was a henchman cultivated by Liu Yongcheng in the Imperial Horse Prison, and when he saw the gloomy face of his boss, he said cautiously, "I heard that there was good news from the address and that Li Li was captured, so the emperor is very happy." ”
After getting such news, Liu Yongcheng couldn't help but feel a little surprised, nodded and lifted the hem of his robe, crossed the threshold and entered the dimly lit hall in front of him, and then turned from behind the screen into the East Warm Pavilion of the apse. The sun was almost setting at this moment, and because of the events of the day, there was not even a single lamp lit here, except for the shadows of some furniture. Despite this, Liu Yongcheng, who had excellent eyes, still saw the figure on the carved wooden bed at a glance.
"Little Marquis?"
The moment he spoke, Liu Yongcheng suddenly changed to a respectful expression. Lighting the candlestick beside him, he turned his head and saluted with a smile when he saw the flame fluttering. Seeing Li Maofang glaring at him viciously, he coughed lightly: "The little marquis is too careless, and this birthday gift for the emperor dares to be fake, so that the arms of those two girls are full of large and small scars, which even stupid people can see." What if you endure this little suffering, turn around and let out the sea and sky, and then it's not too late to enjoy happiness! ”
Since beating Liu Yongcheng and sending him back, he suddenly turned his face and took down all the palace internal supervisors, Li Maofang sensed that something was wrong, and at this time he gritted his teeth: "My father is a marquis, my mother is a princess, I was born to be a gold and jade, why do you question me?" You, a eunuch, dare to tell right and wrong in front of the emperor, you really have eaten the heart of a bear and a leopard! The accusation of just two can condemn me, be your big dream! ”
"Yes, the old slave is indeed insignificant, but when the old slave served the emperor, Princess Yongping had not yet been born!" Liu Yongcheng put away his respectful expression, and said with a cold smile, "The crime of bullying the king is unforgivable, in fact, what happened more than two years ago was enough for the little marquis to go to the court last time, the emperor is just an extrajudicial grace, and now the two crimes are together, maybe you have to go to the Jinyi Guard Prison once!" Tsk, Meng Xian was lucky for those who rebelled at the beginning, but the others were tossed half-dead in the Jinyi Guard, and this was the only way to show their slaughter in the West Fourth Archway, otherwise the little marquis's golden branches and jade leaves could also taste what it was like to be on the execution ground......"
"You...... You are talking nonsense! ”
"The emperor still has a little forgiveness for you, the little marquis, and he should have summoned you to scold you at this time, but now the emperor deliberately sent a message, saying that he didn't want to see you, so that you would be left to fend for yourself in the West Palace. The reason why I don't make a clear decree now is just for the idea of Halloween. The little marquis is so self-sufficient, if you can't fend for yourself, I'm afraid it's the master of ceremonies and the young eunuch Lu Gonggong who is here. Oh, if you want to say that he is the overseer of the East Factory, his means are much stronger than the old slave......"
Liu Yongcheng naturally understood what kind of words to say in order to be effective, and sure enough, by the time he finished speaking, Li Maofang had completely collapsed. Seeing that the guy who had just died to save face was now almost like a dead man, he got up and walked out of the house without looking back, and only stopped when he was outside.
Although the last time it was planned by King Anyang, Princess Yongping also ran errands, so since he almost lost his life, he should get it back from Li Maofang first!
