When he returned to the palace, it was already dark, Xiao Mu found that everything was normal, it seemed that the secrecy work was done well, and his departure from the palace was not discovered. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At night, Xiao Mu devoted himself to improving the design of playing cards.

"Hmm... The "K" in the playing card is the abbreviation of the English "king", which should represent the four famous monarchs in Western history, one of which seems to be the "Alexander" the Great, which seems to have been introduced in the middle school history textbook, and I still have some impressions. Xiao Mu pondered the origin of the playing cards while writing and drawing on the paper.

As for which suit this Alexander card is, and who the other three 'K's represent, Xiao Mu really doesn't know.

Temporarily put down the "K", Xiao Mu picked up the "Q" again, this is naturally the abbreviation of "queen", then the four "Q" represent the four famous queens and princesses and other characters, as for who they are, Xiao Mu doesn't know any of them.

If "K" and "Q" represent kings and queens, then what is the abbreviation of "J" and what does it represent? Guards? Xiao Mu couldn't be sure.

The two ghost cards of the big and small kings, called "JOKER", this is probably the meaning of the clown, as for how the clown is bigger than several emperors, Xiao Mu is also puzzled.

Not counting these two ghost cards, there are 52 cards in total, which means that there are 52 weeks in a year.

"There is no such thing as a week in the Ming Dynasty, and it must be too child's play to implement a weekly work and rest system for the sake of a playing card." Xiao Mu muttered in his heart.

In short, let's take it step by step, these four "Q" are easier to solve, just replace them with ancient Chinese beauties, Xi Shi, Wang Zhaojun, Diao Chan, Yang Yuhuan, these four beauties are ready-made......

As for the suits of "hearts", "spades", "squares" and "plum blossoms", Xiao Mu didn't think of any alternative methods for a while, thinking that the night was already deep, and Xiao Mu fell asleep on the table unconsciously......

Early the next morning, Xiao Mu woke up in bed, thinking that it should be Wang Chengen, and they moved him to the bed after seeing him asleep.

Just as Xiao Mu finished washing up and was about to continue thinking about how to improve his playing cards, Cao Huachun asked to see him.

Xiao Mu naturally let him in, and after Cao Huachun bowed, Xiao Mu asked what was the matter.

"Back to the emperor, the slave maid came to ask the emperor for advice on how to deal with Wei's unjust case." Cao Huachun replied.

"Well, do you have any questions?"

"Back to the emperor, the slaves and maids naturally don't dare to slack off on the matter of dealing with unjust cases, but the ministers dare to ask the emperor, if the eunuchs are really pardoned, are they not to blame in the past?"

"I have decreed an amnesty for the world, and I will naturally pardon all eunuchs." Xiao Mu replied, "Otherwise, the two factions above the court will fight each other, which will be harmful to the court, do you have any opinion on this?" ”

"The slave and the maid don't dare, but the slave and the maid still have something unclear." Cao Huachun hurriedly buckled his head and pleaded guilty.

"You don't need to be nervous, you don't know anything, but it's okay to say it." Xiao Mu saw that Cao Huachun was scared enough by himself, and asked comfortingly.

"Back to the emperor, the slave maid was trusted by the emperor and was handed over to be responsible for handling the unjust case, which was a matter of great importance. The decree to pardon the officials who were forced to rebel was also an act of the emperor who was benevolent and could not bear to raise a prison and commit killing, and no one in the world did not praise the emperor for his benevolence as heaven, and the slaves and maids were really respectful in their hearts, and they did not dare to have the slightest opinion. ”

"It's just that now the leaders of the anti-party are still there, and many unjust cases are caused by them, and their evil deeds, even if they have not been investigated in detail, they have heard of them, and if even these leaders of the anti-party are pardoned, the grievances of those who are persecuted by them cannot be revealed, and the relatives and relatives of the victims must also have resentment in their hearts, and the slaves and maids do not know what to do."

Cao Huachun talked about his difficulties, but he was also a eunuch, and Cao Huachun did not use the word "eunuch party", but replaced it with "anti-party".

Xiao Mu was a little confused by Cao Huachun's words, "What is the leader of the anti-party is still there, didn't Wei Zhongxian die last year?" ”

"Back to the emperor, Wei Wei committed suicide last year, Cui Chengxiu, Wei Liangqing, Hou Guoxing and other rebels have also been ambushed, but now, there are Gu Bingqian, Feng Quan, Wei Guangwei, Xu Xianchun and other remnants have not been punished, these people are also the backbone of the party, if they are pardoned together, I am afraid it will be unfair and difficult to calm the hearts of the people in the world. It is a small matter for slaves and maids to be scolded by others, and it is a big matter to damage the emperor's holy name! Cao Huachun replied.

"Hmm..."Although he didn't know who the names from Cui Chengxiu to Wei Guangwei were, Xiao Mu still understood what Cao Huachun meant. In short, it is said that many of the leaders of Wei Zhongxian's party had been cleaned up by the original Chongzhen Emperor before he crossed over, and later he crossed over to occupy Emperor Chongzhen's body, and those leaders who had not had time to cook before Emperor Chongzhen had time survived in this way. Now that he is implementing a general amnesty to quell the party dispute, Cao Huachun is worried that if even these surviving leaders are pardoned, it will cause new turmoil in the court.

"What you said is very reasonable, and I also think that this matter is debatable, so you can continue to do it first, and I will tell you how to do it after thinking about it carefully. There are a large number of unjust cases, the facts of the cases are complicated, and you have worked so hard that you must handle them carefully and give an explanation to the world. ”

"It's not hard, the slave must do the errand well." Cao Huachun listened to the emperor say that he was hard, and hurriedly reassured. To be praised by the emperor, of course he was very happy, so he withdrew and continued to do his own work.

Xiao Mu temporarily put away his thoughts on continuing to improve the design of playing cards, after all, how to deal with the remnants of these leader-level eunuchs is more important, if it is not handled properly, the party struggle that has been temporarily suppressed may break out again, which makes Xiao Mu have to pay attention to it.

It's just that Xiao Mu feels that these people have never heard of it himself, and it is necessary to at least understand their experiences first, and then decide how to deal with them, otherwise he will make a decision without knowing anything, Xiao Mu always feels uneasy.

"Come on, quickly call me for Luo Yangxing." Xiao Mu decided to ask Luo Yangxing about his opinion on this matter, and by the way, he also learned some about the lives of these people from Luo Yangxing.

After waiting for about a cup of tea, Luo Yangxing came, and after entering the hall, it was another salute, Xiao Mu asked him not to be polite, Luo Yangxing was thankful again, and when he was finally quiet, Xiao Mu threw out the question that Cao Huachun said.

"I was in the palace for a long time before I ascended the throne, and I paid little attention to the affairs of the court, and I didn't know much about the life and deeds of these people, so Aiqing might as well tell me about it."

"Wechen obeys." Luo Yangxing naturally didn't dare to slack off, so he told Xiao Mu about the lives of Gu Bingqian, Feng Quan, Wei Guangwei, and Xu Xianchun.

Among these people, the most famous is of course Gu Bingqian, who served as the first assistant of the cabinet from the fourth year of the Apocalypse to the sixth year of the Apocalypse. His predecessors Ye Xianggao and Han Yi were all leaders of the Donglin Party, and after being squeezed out of the cabinet by Wei Zhongxian, he served as the first assistant. In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Gu Bingqian begged for cultivation, and now his hometown Kunshan is idle. Gu Bingqian is a person who has won the imperial examination, he was born in Hanlin, and his knowledge is naturally very high, but his character makes people dare not compliment.

Luo Yangxing, as a Jinyi guard, was originally not dealing with civil officials, and he also didn't deal with Wei Zhongxian's gang, so he didn't save any face for Gu Bingqian, and shook out all his ugly things.

"The emperor doesn't know that Gu Bingqian has done something that is enough for him to 'leave a name in history'." Luo Yangxing felt that the emperor had become very talkative recently, so he lost a trace of the awe of imperial power in the past, and when it came to the rise, he even sold Guanzi.

"Oh? What's up? Xiao Mu was aroused, and he didn't care about Luo Yangxing's dare to be disrespectful to himself, and asked urgingly.

"That was when he was still the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and those rebellious officials at that time were all interested in worshipping Wei Shun as their godfather. Gu Bingqian wanted to go further in the officialdom, and he also had this idea in his heart, but he was more than ten years older than Wei Zhongxian, so he really couldn't worship this godfather. So he took his son and said to Wei Zhongxian, I originally wanted to recognize you as a father, but I was worried that you would not want to ask me if I was too old, so it would be better for my son to recognize you as a grandson. ”

Luo Yangxing said happily, and even laughed regardless of the dignity and humility, and laughed twice before he realized that he was rude in front of the emperor, so he quickly stopped laughing.

Xiao Mu listened to Luo Yangxing's narration and his eyes were about to fall out, didn't he say that the ancient scholars studied the classics of the saints, and they were all in a lofty ideological realm, how could there be such a person who had no discipline, and he also achieved the position of the first assistant of the cabinet.

Because Xiao Mu was stunned when he heard it, he didn't find the sin of Luo Yangxing's failure to honor in front of the emperor, and when Xiao Mu finally came to his senses, Luo Yangxing had returned to his usual respectful attitude.

Xiao Mu motioned to Luo Yangxing to continue, Luo Yangxing told some things about Wei Guangwei and Feng Quan, all in all, although these people are eunuchs, they don't deal with each other, and often attack each other, Gu Bingqian begged to retire and return to his hometown to retire because he was squeezed out by Feng Quan - sure enough, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

As for Xu Xianchun, Luo Yangxing said that this person is a scum who has infiltrated the sacred team of Jinyiwei, and is a typical negative example for all members of the entire Jinyiwei, and the Jinyiwei is ashamed of this thief, and strongly demands that this thief be removed from the Jinyiwei in order to maintain the prestige of the Son of Heaven's pro-army.

Luo Yangxing first expressed his loyalty, and then continued to talk about Xu Xianchun's life, this person is insidious and cruel, likes to build a prison, uses torture, and attaches himself to Wei Zhongxian, and after attaching himself to Wei Zhongxian, he has intensified his efforts, and is the direct murderer of Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and others, famous figures of the Donglin Party.

After listening to Luo Yangxing's narration, Xiao Mu began to think about how to deal with these people......
