readx; Just as Zhu Youzhen was roaring angrily, he was suddenly gently pushed awake. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info saw that Chen Yuanyuan and Li Xiangjun were looking at him with concern, and he was still covered with cold sweat.

"Hooray, but a nightmare?" Chen Yuanyuan asked softly while gently wiping the cold sweat on his forehead for Zhu Youzhen.

Zhu Youzhen's heart warmed, and he involuntarily grabbed Chen Yuanyuan's plain hand and said, "It's not a nightmare, it's just not very pleasant." What time is it? Yuanyuan, you haven't rested yet, have you? ”

"Long live, it's already four or two o'clock." Chen Yuanyuan blushed and 'twitched' his hand back and said, "Yuanyuan is used to going to bed late and getting up late, but long live and go to the morning court, you have to go back to the palace as soon as possible." ”

It turns out that this era divides the night into five watches, starting from the beginning of the hour, each hour is a watch, and the fourth watch is the ugly time, that is, three o'clock in the morning. Each shift is divided into five points, each of which is equivalent to twenty-four minutes. At two o'clock in the morning, it was almost four o'clock in the morning.

"I didn't expect to be asleep for so long." Zhu Youzhen said apologetically, "Is the newspaper finalized?" ”

"It's been printed!" Chen Yuanyuan smiled and handed over a newspaper, Zhu Youzhen took it and smelled it, with a faint fragrance of ink, thinking that it had just been printed. He roughly turned two pages, jumped up excitedly, and said, "It's done!" With this newspaper, let's see how I clean up that sanctimonious group of officials. Inform the guard regiment and return to the palace immediately! ”

On the occasion of parting, Zhu Youzhen not only told Zhao Mingde to continue to treat Li Xiangjun with his heart, but also smiled mysteriously at Chen Yuanyuan: "Yuanyuan and sleep well, there will be good news when you wake up!" ”

More than an hour later, Zhu Youzhen was already sitting majestically on the throne of the Qianqing Palace, his eyes scanning His Majesty's civil and military officials.

If it was in the previous dynasty, the emperor generally asked the eunuchs to shout: "The hundred officials have something to do and play early, and they have nothing to do to retreat from the court!" Then the officials performed in order of rank, and the emperor ruled them one by one. After the officials finished playing, the early dynasty dispersed.

But when it came to Emperor Chongzhen, this rule was completely broken. First of all, the eunuchs were gone, and there was no longer that kind of half-male and non-'female' male duck voice in the court; secondly, the young emperor never let the ministers do things first, but announced some decisions himself, and then it was the turn of the officials. Therefore, the emperor did not speak, and none of the ministers below dared to speak first.

Today, Zhu Youzhen was unusually silent for a long time. As the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, and many ministers suddenly felt uneasy, thinking that something seemed to be happening today, and hoped that they would not get involved.

Sure enough, after a long time, Zhu Youzhen spoke: "Sun Chengzong, Qiao Yunsheng!" ”

Sun Chengzong, the secretary of the household department, and Qiao Yunsheng, the secretary of the criminal department, hurriedly went out of work, and was about to kneel, Zhu Youzhen waved his hand and said: "Both of them are elderly people, and their 'legs' and feet are inconvenient, so they don't need to kneel." I ask you, where is Qian Qianyi now? Qian Qianqiu Township's trial bribery case, how did the trial go? ”

Wen Tiren made a big fuss about the Bu ceremony, and Shengsheng squeezed Qian Qianyi out of the cabinet, which was a few months ago. The ministers thought that the emperor had forgotten about this matter a long time ago, but they didn't know why they mentioned it today.

Sun Chengzong hurriedly played: "Back to Your Majesty, the Criminal Department has not yet concluded the case, and Qian Qianyi has been living in Beijing since he was temporarily dismissed. ”

Qiao Yunsheng also played: "Your Majesty, the Criminal Department has arrested Qian Qianqiu. Although he was interrogated many times, Qian Qianqiu's confession was no different from what he had written in his previous confession. Knowing that the stakes were very high, the minister did not dare to make a mistake, and sent people to Zhejiang to find the person involved, but there has been no big gain so far. ”

Zhu Youzhen listened and sneered: "In this case, there is no suspicion of guilt, shouldn't I recover Qian Qianyi?" Spread my will and quickly summon Qian Qianyi to the temple! ”

After a meal, Qian Qianyi hurriedly entered the hall sweating profusely. Just about to perform the ceremony of kneeling three times and bowing nine times, Zhu Youzhen said impatiently: "It's okay!" Qian Qianyi, I ask you, what did you do in Beijing during the time I dismissed you? ”

Qian Qianyi was confused, so he had to say cautiously: "Back to Your Majesty, since the Holy Lord's decree, the minister has been thinking about it behind closed doors in the Jingshi's apartment. Looking back on the previous situation, it is true that the minister's cultivation is not virtuous enough, so he was used by the villain to deceive him..."

"I didn't ask you that!" Zhu Youzhen immediately interrupted him, and shouted again: "Zhou Daodeng! ”

Zhou Daodeng's heart shrank suddenly, and he hurriedly went out to give a salute. Although he is one of the fifteen cabinet ministers after Zhou Dunyi, a master of science, he has always been wise and wise, does not seek merit but seeks no fault, is mediocre all day long, and will not deal with other government affairs.

However, because of his advanced age, Zhou Daodeng's mind is becoming more and more confused, and he has made a few big jokes in the court recently. Once, Zhu Youzhen was puzzled when he saw the word "black teeth" on a certain official's recital, so he asked Zhou Daodeng. Zhou Daodeng shook his head and said: "Black teeth, black teeth are also!" ”

Zhu Youzhen said in his heart that isn't nonsense. He knew that Zhou Daodeng didn't know how to pretend to understand, and later asked Qian Longxi, only to know that this was an allusion, referring to the Tang Dynasty general Hei Tooth Changzhi.

Another time, Zhu Youzhen asked Zhou Daodeng: "Recently, the word 'affection' is often used in the ministers' recitals, what should be the explanation?" ”

Zhou Daodeng actually replied in front of everyone's eyes: "Those who are affectionate are also affectionate." At that time, it caused laughter, and Zhu Youzhen was also angry, and said in his heart, Are you playing with me anyway?

But compared with Qian Longxi, Li Biao and others, Zhou Daodeng didn't give Zhu Youzhen any trouble, so Zhu Youzhen could still tolerate him. But today is different, Zhu Youzhen's eyes are like electricity, staring at Zhou Daodeng and Qian Qianyi: "Daming Bank sells treasury bonds during this time, I heard that you two claim to be poor and haven't bought a single one, right?" ”

The two had to nod their heads in acknowledgement. Zhu Youzhen immediately asked sharply: "Then can you explain what is written in this newspaper!" ”

As he spoke, he threw the just-released Jinghua Times into the ground. Shoufu Han Yi picked it up carefully, only glanced at it, and couldn't help but sigh again and again, and let Qian Longxi and other ministers circulate it. Everyone looked at Zhou Daodeng and Qian Qianyi in surprise, knowing that this time they were finished.

In the end, the newspaper reached Zhou Daodeng and Qian Qianyi. Without waiting for the two to come back to their senses, Zhu Youzhen sneered: "I don't have money to buy treasury bonds, but I have money to hold 'flowers'!" The two of you fought last night, and finally hugged the beauty at the same time, I congratulate you! The purchase and sale of this treasury bond was originally voluntary, and if you don't want to buy it, just say it, why do you excuse your family from poverty? Can a poor family spend a lot of money on clearing a building? Is this a crime of deception? Liu Ru is a 'girl' in the Qing Building, and she still knows that she is worried about the country, but the two of you are both great Confucians in the world, and I think it is far worse than Liu Ru! Besides, I encourage you to buy treasury bonds, but you don't buy them, and you buy them all as soon as Liu Ru buys them, in your eyes, am I not as good as a fireworks' and 'girl'? Anyway, since I am so unbearable in your hearts, I don't dare to use you! ”...
