Chapter 375: One with a red face and one with a black face
Three days later, Xiao Yuan, the seventh sister-in-law, Yang Lin, the director of the Department of Carriages and Horses, Qiu Lin, the director of the Finance Department, and nearly 100 male servants and maids gathered together, waiting for Princess Kunxing's lecture.
Princess Kunxing sat on the right seat without saying a word and handed it over to Wang Chengen to lecture.
After all, Wang Chengen is the great eunuch in charge of the celebrant eunuch, and he has an orderly demeanor when he moves his hands, and when he goes there, even if he doesn't speak, he can give the women an invisible pressure.
This Wang Chengen has been in the celebrant for seventeen years, and he has been in charge of the ceremonial eunuch for ten years, and his management and political abilities are far from being comparable to a princess.
Xiao Yuan's eyes flashed with a cold color, Princess Kunxing was able to find the arm of Wang Chengen, the garrison eunuch of Nanjing City, which was beyond her expectations.
Wang Chengen first announced the reform of the departments of the Governor's Office, adding a new law enforcement department, the law enforcement department is dedicated to the supervision and punishment of government regulations, and the eunuchs brought by Wang Chengen are enforcing the law, and Liang Mama took over as the director of the law enforcement department.
The seventh sister-in-law was displeased and said, "This father-in-law, before the princess came, the governor's palace had always been in harmony and did not need any punishment. Now that the princess is going to beat and punish people as soon as she comes, isn't it too domineering? ”
Wang Chengen said loudly, "The sky is round and the place is round, and everything must be talked about with a rule, there are no rules, and there is no circle." Before, there were only a few people in the Governor's Palace, and there were few affairs, and there was no need for rules. Nowadays, the Governor's Office is growing in status and number, and the functions and powers of the various departments are becoming more and more clear. Those wild ways that do whatever they want will not work, and a set of rules must be required. ”
The seventh sister-in-law was speechless, just muttering and complaining.
These days, Wang Chengen has already memorized the palace rules that he has memorized, deleted, reduced, and tinkered with them, and formulated seventy-two rules of the governor's palace.
He ordered a little eunuch to read out the government rules in public, and there were also disciplinary measures for violating the government rules.
When the women heard this, it was a sudden change in their appearance, this one had to be punished with ten rods, and that one had to be subjected to five rods, so after calculating it, the previous behavior of the women, each of them had to suffer at least a hundred rods, which was not too much.
Wang Chengen scolded, "What I brought are all eunuchs from the Nanjing Imperial Palace. Speaking of court staffs, it is their specialty. If you want to be wounded, you will be able to break your skin and flesh; If you want to be injured internally, you will be able to be beaten with five injuries and seven tuberculosis; He said that he would fight you for five days before he died, and he would not die in three days. ”
He is not all intimidation out of thin air, the biggest way for these eunuchs in the palace to make money is to do tricks and feet on the staff, and hit the silver two that is heavy and light, and the method has long been perfect.
The women lowered their heads and looked at each other, as soon as the government rules came out, the Law Enforcement Department could enforce the law justifiably, and then go to Fang Yuan to make trouble, it would be unreasonable.
Coupled with Wang Chengen's intimidation, if he is really going to be arrested, where will he still be killed? Even if it is not solid and causes internal injuries, it cannot be investigated afterwards.
Wang Chengen saw that the women had a look of fear on their faces, and said, "The princess is a bodhisattva, and if she doesn't care about you subordinates, my old slave is not so easy to talk to." Whoever is guilty of it at my hands, hey! I killed and crippled eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, if not a thousand, but eight hundred, and there are not many delicate women more than you. ”
Wang Chengen's momentum controlled the audience, his cold face softened slightly, and he put on a pleasant face again, "I have served His Majesty for twenty years, and I can see a reason." In this world, only the master picks the slave and the maid, where does the slave and the slave choose the master? We slaves and maids, who are the masters, should serve whom obediently, and who should not serve? Right! ”
The women whispered, "Yes! ”
Wang Chengen shouted again and asked, "I didn't hear it, be louder!" ”
The women's voices raised a few degrees, "Yes!" ”
Xiao Yuan's eyes flickered, Wang Chengen really deserved to be an old bird who had been in charge of the palace's internal affairs for many years, and he shocked everyone as soon as he made a move.
Mama Liang opened her mouth and said, "A few days ago, Qiu Lin, the director of the Finance Department, reported that the finances were unknown, and he did not cooperate with the princess's audit. ”
Wang Chengen nodded and said, "Yes, if you dare to be disrespectful to the princess, the punishment is fifty strokes with a cane, and according to the circumstances of the crime, you can be killed with a cane." ”
Their spearhead was directed at Xiao Yuan's henchman Qiu Lin, and the two eunuchs rushed directly to take Qiu Lin into custody, and just pressed down on the stone table, and the two of them were holding big wooden sticks for law enforcement, ready to fight.
Qiu Lin was so frightened that he trembled, and looked at the backer Xiaoyuan behind him with a plea for help.
Xiao Yuan didn't look at Qiu Lin, but Hua Rong quietly drank a sip of lotus seed syrup, as if it was none of her business.
Qiu Lin is in charge of the affairs of the independent accounting group, and the examination of the accounts of all military and political affairs in Zhejiang and Fujian is one of the new policy measures formulated by Fang Yuan himself, which is as important as the letter-and-visit mailbox. Whoever spoils the work of the Independent Accounting Corps and causes confusion in the accounts of the military and state capitals is definitely guilty of Fang Yuan's big taboo.
If the two of them really made a move, it would be in the hands of Zheng Xiaoyuan, and then they could use the excuse that the affairs of the independent accounting group were paralyzed and they would join them in front of Fang Yuan. Fang Yuan's principles for dealing with backyard disputes, she couldn't be clearer. No matter how noisy the backyard is, it must not affect the military and political affairs of the outer court, otherwise, it will be severely punished.
Princess Kunxing obviously saw Xiao Yuan's careful thoughts, coughed, got up and said, "Qiu Lin's previous confrontation is just that Mrs. Yuan didn't have good rules when she was there, as long as she corrected it in the future, it won't be a crime." ”
Since the princess personally pardoned Qiu Lin, Mama Liang also ordered several eunuchs to release them.
Princess Yingying walked up to Qiu Lin, looked at her frightened eyes, and said leisurely, "Qiu Lin, after the meeting in the future, you will come and report the finances to me again." ”
Qiu Lin was afraid and hated her, but she could only nod helplessly, "Yes, I will prepare the accounts immediately to report to the princess." ”
Princess Kunxing walked to Yang Lin, the director of the Department of Carriages and Horses, took out a box of special incense powder from the royal family from her arms, handed it to her, pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Xiao Linzi, I need you to take care of the government affairs in the future." I don't have anything for you, this box of incense powder is a spice sent from Luzon, take it! ”
Yang Lin didn't expect the princess to be so pleasant, she was a little stunned, and still looked at Xiaoyuan sitting in the distance as if asking for help.
Xiao Yuan closed her eyes slightly, and did not deny it, that is, she could accept the princess's gift by default.
Yang Lin accepted the incense powder given by the princess, and bowed down with gratitude on her face, "Thank you princess for the reward." ”
Princess Kunxing crossed Yang Lin and came to the front of the seventh sister-in-law, and asked Mama Liang to bring a small brocade box and send it to the seventh sister-in-law, "Seventh sister-in-law, I heard that you often have wet and cold attacks on your legs these days, and you can't sleep at night." This is a tiger bone paste from Siam that I brought from the palace, and when applied externally, it can alleviate the symptoms. ”
The seventh sister-in-law looked at the tiger bone paste, then looked at the princess, and asked in amazement, "Princess, the old woman has repeatedly opposed you, and she can't afford your big gift!" ”
Princess Kunxing said solemnly, "Seventh sister-in-law, you have taken care of the horse since childhood, and you are also half of the mother of the horse, and naturally half of my mother." Where are the daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law who are angry? Whatever you say, I'll listen to you. ”
The seventh sister-in-law was stunned on the spot, she was a princess who raised herself so high, and flattered herself with her kind words of condescension, which made the seventh sister-in-law at a loss, and said in a daze, "Princess, this, this." ”
Princess Kunxing patiently opened the box of tiger bone paste and personally demonstrated how to use it.
All the women present, not only the seventh sister-in-law, but also others were secretly relieved, originally thought that this princess must be flying and domineering, and be powerful in the house, but she didn't expect her to be so kind, where is there a little princess shelf.
Princess Kunxing flattered the seventh sister-in-law, returned to the main seat, and said to Xiao Yuan beside her, "Mrs. Yuan, I originally wanted to give you and Fang He a golden lion lock that the Master of Jinshan Temple had opened, but I was worried that it would cause you to misunderstand, so let's avoid it!" ”
Xiao Yuan opened her eyes slightly, and looked at Princess Kunxing's gaze, knowing that with Princess Kunxing, Wang Chengen's little trick of singing red face and black face, the offensive and defensive alliance she had established before was on the verge of collapse.
In the first round of the confrontation, she had to admit that it was Princess Kunxing who won!
A smile rose at the corner of Xiao Yuan's mouth, and he said, "Open the light lock or something, the righteousness is too heavy, and the child can't suppress it, but suffers from it." My sister is a good means, but my sister is really blind. ”
Princess Kunxing smiled and said, "My sister is not the only thing that looks away, this is just the beginning, my sister will look at it slowly!" ”
Xiao Yuan saluted her Yingying, turned around and retreated.
