Chapter 57: Yang and Yin

The next day, Wanli was ceremoniously buried, and on the third day, Zhu Changluo immediately began to work boldly:

The soldiers on the Liaodong front were paid their long-overdue salaries!

Mine supervisors and tax collectors throughout the country were dismissed, and all forms of mining activities were stopped. The mining tax has long been deeply disgusted by the people, so as soon as the edict was promulgated, the government and the opposition rejoiced.

Recall the officials who were dismissed because of negligence when Wanli was fighting for the country.

As soon as these three orders were issued, Zhu Changluo's popularity reached its peak, and everyone inside and outside the court was grateful and elated.

Just when Zhu Changluo was about to announce his retirement from the court, Sun Ruyou, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, walked out and said loudly: "Your Highness, the minister has a good performance." ”

Zhu Changluo said: "Read it." ”

Sun Ruyou cleared his throat, and read it aloud with a song in his hand, which was very long, talking about the matter that Wang An sent to make the queen for Concubine Zheng Guifei the day before yesterday, and Zhu Changluo listened with interest.

Although the recital is very long, and the matter is demonstrated in terms of theory, generation, and reputation, in fact, the final conclusion is just two words: no!

After hearing this, Zhu Changluo said lightly: "Since it doesn't work, forget it, send someone to inform Concubine Zheng." ”

Zheng Guifei, who was sitting in the Zhaoren Hall of the Qianqing Palace and waiting for the title of queen, was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and she was stunned all of a sudden.

Since the day of Emperor Wanli's burial, Concubine Zheng Guifei forcibly moved into the Zhaoren Hall of the Qianqing Palace on the clumsy reason of remembering the emperor, dreaming of the current queen mother, planning to lie here until she died.

Any promises and vows are just a piece of waste paper and empty words until they become reality! This truth is not only in the royal family, even in today's harmonious society, it is also a wise saying!

Two days later, Sun Ruyou, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, was promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and concurrently served as a member of the Cabinet University, and Concubine Zheng Guifei realized that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not so honest and loyal, and this Sun Ruyou was simply a trust!

Concubine Zheng muttered to herself: "It seems that we have to think of something else." ”

At this time, Wang An had already returned to the Qianqing Palace from the place of the assembly, and Zhou Jiamo, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Sun Ruyou, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Yang Lian of the Seven Grades of Military Section, Zou Yuanbiao of Dali Temple, Liu Yijing, and Han Kuang, scholars of Dongge University, came to the mansion of Zheng Yangxing, the nephew of Zheng Guifei, with a few entourages.

Wang An has clearly expressed the saint's intentions, and these people have been fed up with the bullying of Concubine Zheng's family for many years, but there is no way, they have the support of Emperor Wanli, and they dare not speak out.

Now it is an order to repay the face that has been lost for many years, and it is naturally the duty to carry it out immediately, and there is still a bit of pleasure in republicing personal vendettas.

The house is very large, very close to the palace, not to mention that it has been put on until now, even at that time, it was absolutely expensive, the vermilion gate is very high, and there are two majestic stone lions at the door.

Zheng Yangxing is the son of Zheng Guifei's elder brother Zheng Guotai, after Zheng Guotai's death, the blessed king Zhu Changxun left Beijing and went to Luoyang, Zheng Guifei loves this nephew very much, so he is used to Zheng Yangxing being arrogant and domineering on weekdays.

The upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, and the two subordinates at the door are also bullying and rampant in the township on weekdays, but when they saw a few first-class adults coming together, they hurriedly bowed down to greet them: "All the adults are coming, please report to the head of the family." ”

Zhou Jiamo, the secretary of the ministry, snorted coldly: "Zheng Yangxing is something, I waited to give him a big face, and actually asked us to wait outside, I think he doesn't want to stay in the capital, and even two little minions dare to block our way." ”

Saying that, Zhou Jiamo flicked his sleeves and led everyone to break in directly, although the two people were very angry in their hearts, they didn't dare to refute, although Zheng Yangxing was rampant and domineering everywhere by relying on his relatives and relatives, he had no fame, and to put it bluntly, he was illiterate without any real power of the official family.

Now it is the scorching summer of August, the heyday of the dog days, Zheng Yangxing is full of wine and food at noon, feeling that the weather is really hot, is taking off his shirt and outer pants, hiding in the house shirtless, lying on the bed with his eyes closed, two young maids in front of the bed are fanning him to cool off, Zheng Yangxing shook his head very freely, and did not see the two maids have been sweating profusely.

Suddenly, there was a "bang", the door was pushed open, Zheng Yangxing was startled, got up from the bed in a panic, looked for the shoes under the bed, pulled up the shoes and just looked up, seven or eight people had already broken in and gathered in front of the bed.

Zheng Yangxing hurriedly got up and looked around looking for his coat, his movements were extremely embarrassed, and when he stretched out his sleeves and was about to go crazy in anger, he was stunned for a moment, although Yang Lian didn't know who it was, but at least he was still very familiar with the people of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Rites, the Dali Temple, and the Dongge University Scholar.

Before he could react, Zhou Jiamo, the secretary of the ministry, had already opened his mouth with a strong voice, pointing at Zheng Yangxing with his right index finger, and scolded: "Your aunt Zheng Guifei is arrogant and arrogant, disturbing the harem for many years, and has been fighting for the country for more than ten years before, all because of her, and now she still wants to be crowned the queen mother, and she is still staying in the Qianqing Palace, what is the intention?!" ”

Zheng Yang said angrily: "As an official of the imperial court, why did you break into my mansion for no reason? ”

Yang Lian stepped forward and scolded: "Why, just rely on your family's more than 30 years of misdeeds, fighting for the country, the demon book case, the curse case, and the attack case, any of which can behead your family." ”

Zheng Yangxing shouted loudly: "You can't talk nonsense, what evidence do you have?" You're a bloody spurt. ”

Zou Yuanbiao of Dali Temple received it louder than him: "Evidence, the whole street knows that you did it, what evidence do you need, you just find someone to go outside to inquire, the idiot knows, you still have the face to call here, you are better than the idiot." ”

Zheng Yangxing was speechless for a while, his body trembled slightly, and Liu Yijing, a scholar of Dongge University, hurriedly came up and persuaded him: "Actually, your aunt Zheng Guifei shouldn't have any other meaning, but she just wants to keep a fortune, and now the popular ministers in the court are here, if you listen to us, this matter will be on us." ”

Han Kuang also said softly: "Yes, Master Liu is for the sake of your family, don't be ignorant." ”

Yang Lian looked at the hesitant Zheng Yangxing and said coldly: "If your aunt doesn't listen to us, she always wants to be crowned the queen mother, and no one will help you, you said that your aunt doesn't have this idea, since she doesn't have this idea, she will avoid suspicion as soon as possible and move out of the Qianqing Palace." ”

Sun Ruyou, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, approached Zheng Yangxing with a straight face, stared at him, and said coldly: "If you are obsessed with it, let alone wealth, it is unknown whether your life can be saved!" Hmph, let's go. ”

After speaking, he led everyone away, leaving only the sweaty Zheng Yang's dull wood standing in the house.

After a long time, Zheng Yangxing calmed down a little, immediately put on his clothes, stumbled to Zheng Guifei to add fuel and vinegar to say, Zheng Guifei, who had just been thundered, was immediately thundered again, it seems that the probability of lightning hitting a place is still quite large.

The aunt and nephew discussed for a long time, and finally reluctantly decided to move out of the Qianqing Palace, and returned to the very familiar Yikun Palace again.

Zheng Yang walked out of the Forbidden City in despair and dejected, and the Jinyi guards along the way were very surprised, why did this usually high-spirited imperial relative seem so depressed and depressed today?

Zheng Yangxing turned his head to look at the huge vermilion palace gate, because he also knew that this solemn Forbidden City would no longer be a place where he could come and go as he wanted in the future.
