Chapter 161: Good courtier
The news of the Chongwenmen vendors colliding with the government soon spread. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Shuntianfu Yamen.
Fu Yin Zhang Zhenghui sat on the official hat chair, holding a teacup in his hand, and was leisurely sipping tea. Behind him, a twenty-eight-year-old girl was standing, gently pounding him on the shoulder.
This girl's name is Xi'er, and Zhang Zhenghui recently fell in love with her in the Teaching Division, and she has just redeemed her body and accepted her as his concubine. What he didn't know was that this girl was an old acquaintance of his son Zhang Zhanpeng, and he was a good friend of the teaching department.
"Master, are you comfortable?"
Xi'er put her little mouth close to his ear and whispered softly in her charming voice.
The voice was soft to the bone, Zhang Zhenghui suddenly felt a tingle all over his body, and hugged him into his arms, and his hand had already reached inside along her full chest.
After a while, Zhang Zhenghui was hot in the dantian, hugged Xi'er horizontally, and was about to go to Wushan Yunyu together, but there was an inappropriate sound outside the door.
"Master, master, something is wrong!"
Zhang Zhenghui frowned, put Xi'er down, opened the door and said in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" β
The steward took a few breaths before he said, "Chong...... There were vendors in Chongwenmen who made a disturbance and injured Lord Li, the envoy of Jinyi Weinan Town. β
"How ?!! this happens"
Zhang Zhenghui was overjoyed when he heard the news, and hurriedly asked, "What about Lord Li's injury?" β
"This ...... I don't know if it's small. β
In Zhang Zhenghui's mind, it doesn't matter how Li Xiuwen's injury is, it's a good thing that he really wants to die. Previously, his own son had many conflicts with the other party and suffered many losses. Today, Li Xiuwen has set up a banknote gate in Chongwenmen, and it is really unreasonable that his own business car has to pay taxes when it passes by.
Now that this has happened, doesn't there just happen to be an excuse for the emperor to revoke this tax customs?
Zhang Zhenghui thought of this, so he instructed the steward: "Prepare the car, sir, I want to go to the palace." β
When the steward prepared the car, Zhang Zhenghui hurriedly left the yamen.
Xi'er looked at his back and stomped her feet, and snorted: "Old thing with no conscience, if you don't accompany me, I'll look for your son!" β
Qianqing Palace.
Zhu You sat behind the Long Shu case and looked at the courtiers in front of him with a cold face.
After the incident in Chongwenmen, these officials came one after another, and they all came for the same purpose - to remove the banknote gate that had been added by Chongwenmen.
At this time, an official in front of him was talking: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, the water can carry boats and also capsize boats, Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and the people of the world are your people, so why do you bother to compete with the people for profit?" Now that the taxes are already heavy, the addition of this banknote customs may cause public resentment to boil, Your Majesty. β
"That's right, Your Majesty, beg Your Majesty to take back your life!"
As soon as the imperial historian finished speaking, the rest of the courtiers echoed one after another, knelt on the ground and said in unison.
At this moment, a little yellow doorman at the door reported: "Your Majesty, Lord Yin Zhang of Shuntian Mansion asks to see you." β
"Hehe, there's another oneβ"
Zhu Youzhen sneered and said to the little yellow door, "Let him come in." β
Nanzhen Fuji.
Li Xiuwen's whole body was covered with gauze, and he lay motionless on the kang.
The gauze on his body, which was originally white, was almost all stained red with blood at this time. However, most of this blood was not his own.
Although those twenty thieves were good, they were not able to seriously injure Li Xiuwen. In fact, he only suffered some skin injuries at the time. Now it's all pretended.
It's a bitter ploy!
In order to win Zhu Youzhen's sympathy, he also bought time for himself.
Li Xiuwen knew that there should have been many ministers in the palace now. In order to enter the palace later, he could only pretend that he was seriously injured and unconscious.
The matter has become a big one, and if you want to keep the banknotes, you must have evidence to prove that this matter is all done by Zhang Zhifa.
He had previously instructed Han Lin to send someone to infiltrate the palace of the imperial court minister and obtain some information for himself. Although this Zhang Zhifa is not one of the Seven Secretaries, he is also a cabinet minister and has a high position. How could he leave his mansion with the intelligence net himself?
Although the time is still short, it is not enough to obtain some important information, but it should be easy to steal an official lamp. Since the other party has chosen to extinguish his mouth, what can he do to plant it himself?
"Childe ?!!"
Sun Mingwen's exclamation came from the door, he walked quickly to the side of the kang, and asked Xu Jiang on the side, "How can the adult be injured like this?" β
Li Xiuwen, who was still lying on the bed with his eyes closed, opened his eyes at this time and said with a smile: "I'm fine, have you found something?" β
"Found it."
Sun Mingwen said, holding up a package in his hand, and then opened it with both hands, revealing a lantern with the words "Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites".
Li Xiuwen nodded with satisfaction, and instructed Sun Mingwen: "Later, I will call all the people outside in, and you take this opportunity to hide this official lamp in the truck in the yard." β
The stakes are very high, Li Xiuwen is a new official, and there are a lot of Jinyi guards in Nanzhen, so it is natural to hide such a false accusation from them.
Xu Jiang called everyone to the courtyard inside the yamen, and then talked nonsense, saying that the adults were injured this time, that everyone was not well protected, and that they should cheer up in the future.
When he saw Sun Mingwen coming back, his face changed, and he said: "This time, our Nanzhen can be regarded as losing face, you can search those goods now and see if you can find some clues!" β
"Yes!"
A group of brocade guards responded in unison, and went out to search.
Soon, someone rejoiced: "My lord, I have found evidence of my humble position, and I am an official ......."
Qianqing Palace.
Below Zhu Youzhen, many officials were already kneeling on both sides. And outside the Qianqing Palace, there were also many officials kneeling. These people came over, and they all proposed to remove the banknotes
At this time, Zhang Zhifa was talking. And Zhu Youzhen, who was sitting upright, had a gloomy and terrifying face.
These people are all his ministers, and now that so many people have come to speak, the pressure in his heart can be imagined.
Compared with before, Zhu Youzhen's heart has also been shaken at this moment. If he does not agree to these people's requests, he is likely to change from a "bright monarch" to a "faint monarch".
Zhu Youzhen has already decided in his heart that he wants to remove the banknotes.
Zhang Zhifa was still chattering, and Zhu Youzhen was about to interrupt him, but the little yellow door at the door reported: "Your Majesty, Nanzhen Fu envoy Li asks to see him." β
"Let him in."
"This ......"
The little yellow door hesitated for a moment before saying, "Master Li was seriously injured, and he was carried over." β
Brought over?
Everyone present was stunned, and many people thought in their hearts: "This Li Xiuwen actually played a bitter trick?" β
Zhu Youzhen didn't think so, he was moved in his heart: "This is my good courtier, who has been so seriously injured for my errands, but he is still in a hurry to see me!" (To be continued.) )
