Chapter 553: Kick Out
Liu Jin was very nervous when he went in, and Zhang Yong, who stayed outside, was in a similar mood, and his expectations were even above the former. After all, Liu Jin's participation in this matter is just for his own power, but what he is doing is righteousness!
Before meeting Liu Jin, Zhang Yong had sneaked out of the palace several times and met with Hong Zhong and other scholars, and was very praised and encouraged, and Hong Zhong even praised him as a good father-in-law far beyond Wang Yue, and there will be a day when he will be famous in history.
At that time, Zhang Yong was moved by what he heard, and he only felt that the burden of humiliation in the past two years had not been in vain, and there must be bright prospects waiting for him in the future.
Therefore, he encouraged Liu Jin to make a move, and he also tried his best to dig out the little secret between Xie Hong and Zhengde, oh, no, it should be said that it is the most important secret.
Today, when it finally came time to decide success or failure, it can be said that all his expectations were bet on it, how could he not be nervous? Liu Jin has been in for a while, and he seems to be very excited, and his voice can be faintly heard outside, does this mean that everything is going well?
Zhang Yong crept out from behind the tree, and hid in the dark corner, wanting to listen more carefully, but at this moment, it suddenly quieted inside, which made him a little confused.
What's going on? Long live the Lord so angry that he couldn't speak in anger? Or is it ...... He shook his head violently, no, there must be no accidents, after all, what he did represented righteousness! With the support of the whole world.
At this time, Zhang Yong heard the announcement of Queen Xia's arrival, he was a little dazed, after entering the palace, the queen has been very quiet, always stopping and stopping in Kunning Palace, how could she suddenly come here today?
And...... He glanced around and saw two people walking in front of Feng Yuan, one of them was the third father-in-law who had just left, and the other was the father-in-law Tang who was the governor of the prison, so it seemed that it was indeed the queen mother who came.
Gonggong Tang is specially responsible for recording the living notes, which records the emperor's life in the harem, such as which concubines the emperor went to, when to enter and when to leave, all of which are within the scope of the record, and they are regarded as paparazzi in the palace.
Of course, these things are not recorded to satisfy the gossip of others, but just to check the emperor's daily life, so as to ensure that there will be no red apricots out of the wall and other things in the palace.
There is a precedent for this thing since the Han Dynasty, according to common sense, the civil officials of the foreign dynasty should also keep a book, but that kind of work belongs to the emperor's work chronicle, which mainly records how much work the emperor did every day, how many advice he listened to, and so on.
It's just that I met Zhengde, who doesn't take the usual path, both inside and outside, and the people who remember the notes are more sad.
The civil officials of the foreign dynasty do not need to mention it, even if they remember, they can only secretly write a manuscript, and then make it public when Zhengde is gone. It will be like this, of course, because there are no good words written in it, and the risk of scolding the emperor in the Zhengde Dynasty is too great, as long as you dare to scold, the emperor will dare to scold back, and then Jinyiwei will collect evidence of the crime and invite this person to drink tea.
Unless it is self-established, so that people can not find flaws, in that case, it is okay to scold, but people like Hai Rui in later generations are really rare, at least today's Zhengde Dynasty can not be found, therefore, the living notes of the outer dynasty are impossible to remember.
And no one in the palace wants to say bad things about the emperor, but the number of times Zhengde went to the concubine's residence is too little, and he can't remember it if he wants to, since the emperor's wedding last year, Gonggong Tang has only remembered a few pages, and as a result, he has been semi-unemployed, and his heart is also depressed.
Zhang Yonghui knows this, because he has some friendship with this Tang Gonggong, and he can remember the living notes in the house, he has a little bit of culture, at least he has to be literate, so this Tang Gonggong is also from the inner academy, and Zhang Yong happened to be the same period, so he can be regarded as a classmate, and he is also a master who has a lot of experience in Confucianism.
Of course, this person is not very bold and his power is not high, so he has never been involved in the whirlpool of political disputes, and he can be regarded as a figure in the turbulent Zhengde years.
Seeing this person, Zhang Yong breathed a sigh of relief, with this person here, after the queen entered, she could investigate, so as not to wait here and be restless. He shrank into the shadows again, squinting at Feng Yuan, just waiting for the queen to enter the palace.
As Zhengde's daughter-in-law, Queen Xia's actions were also very sharp, and she didn't let Zhang Yongheng wait, but the moment she saw Queen Xia, Zhang Yong suddenly felt that something was wrong. He rubbed his eyes in confusion, risking revealing his body and looked twice, but he still couldn't figure it out.
What went wrong? Alas, it's still that our family's status is too low, and there are too few opportunities to see Feng Yan, so that's why it's like this, right? Zhang Yong shook his head, sighed secretly in his heart, put aside this doubt, and walked out quietly.
"Old Tang, what's going on today?" The third father-in-law and Queen Xia walked in together, except for the accompanying palace maids and eunuchs outside, there was only Gonggong Tang, and Zhang Yong was not afraid of being seen.
"Zhang Yong? Why are you here? When he looked up and saw that it was Zhang Yong, Father-in-law Tang was also taken aback.
Zhang Yong's eyes rolled, thinking about it, he pulled Tang Gonggong, and said in a low voice: "Old Tang, you come with me, I'll tell you something......"
Zhang Yong's identity is not as good as before, but since Gonggong Tang claims to be a scholar, he also has the noble character of not forgetting the poor and lowly friends, at least he doesn't care about talking to Zhang Yong.
"Oh, huh? Yes! Are you telling the truth? But after listening to it for a while, he couldn't calm down, and in the end, his eyes widened, and he looked at Zhang Yong in disbelief, "But such a confidential matter, why do you want to talk to our family?" Aren't you afraid of leaking the news? ”
"Even if you can't trust others, can you still trust you, Brother Tang?" Zhang Yong flattered: "In this Forbidden City, who doesn't know that Gonggong Tang is the most righteous to affirm righteousness?" That's not all, and the elder brother is also good at writing, and even the adults of the foreign dynasties are admired, so for two consecutive dynasties, he was able to hold such an important position as the living note in the record. ”
"Actually, I'm not that good......" Although he knew that Zhang Yong was flattering himself, Gonggong Tang was still loose-boned, and the key to slapping sycophants was to shoot the right place, and the direction of strength was secondary.
"Alas, brother, I'm not modest, whether it's the old emperor at that time, or now, this record is really not a good errand." Gonggong Tang sighed, very touching.
"Where did Brother Tang say ......" Zhang Yong said beautifully, but he also thought it was true in his heart, Hongzhi Dynasty, the living note in the record is indeed not a good errand, because Emperor Xiaozong only has a daughter-in-law!
If it is the seventy-two concubines of the three palaces and six courtyards, the people who note the living in this record will be popular, even if they can't make something out of nothing, they can also use the Spring and Autumn penmanship? What's more, before the emperor wants to leave for the harem, the person who recorded is next to him, as long as he can give a little hint, it is possible to lead the emperor over, and there are many worse ones outside this mile.
But since the two dynasties, there have always been something unusual about the two emperors, and those who remember the notes can't say it, so Zhang Yong's words are also wrong.
"I said Brother Zhang, let's not talk about those who have or don't, since you have planned such a big event, why did you tell our family?" Father-in-law Tang is not stupid, after sighing for a while, he brought the topic back, because he has a good character and is only a high student, so he will tell him about such a big thing? Our family has read books, but we are not nerds, who are we fooling?
"Brother Tang, Ming people don't say dark words, as the saying goes: planning is in people, and success is in heaven, although the plan is seamless, but this executor ...... You also know, Liu Jin has always been an unlearned person, if it weren't for me now...... Where is he needed? Zhang Yong did not hide it, and told everything he planned and worried about calmly.
"You are also a sage reader, and the adults of the outer court have also heard of it, and you are in this capacity, just in time...... If Liu Jin has a case, it can make up for it, of course, if something can't be done, you should not have heard these words. Think about it, if things work out, you and I will have a chance to go down in history! ”
Hearing the last sentence, Gonggong Tang was immediately moved, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this matter was indeed okay and there was no risk, Rao was cautious, and he couldn't help but nod vigorously, turning his heart into action.
"That word is certain, if there is success in the future, Brother Zhang, you must not forget our family, if there is a discord......
"Our family won't drag you into the water, brother." Zhang Yong said categorically.
"Okay." With Zhang Yong's guarantee, Tang Gonggong stepped into the hall with righteousness.
Then, the next moment, before Zhang Yong turned around, he heard a scream inside, and then someone rolled out of it in response, and hit the stone steps at the door with a 'bang', and immediately foamed at the mouth, and his eyes rolled and he fainted.
Zhang Yong looked at it and was immediately shocked, this ...... Isn't it Grandpa Tang who just entered? Even if you offend the emperor, it's too fast, right? What's going on inside?
He was about to step forward to help the person up, and after waking up, he asked to understand, but there was a loud 'bang' in the hall, and then the scene reappeared, and after a miserable scream, another person rolled out, not Liu Jin, who else?
What the hell is going on? What really happened in the temple? Who hit someone? A series of questions made Zhang Yong creepy, and he forcibly suppressed the urge to turn around and run, and reluctantly glanced into the hall.
A bright yellow color allowed him to confirm the identity of the beater, but the man's indignant words made him cold, and he felt like he was in a nightmare...... "Hmph, what the eldest brother said is right, when you see an unscrupulous paparazzi, you have to be beaten to death, and the right and wrong behind it are not a good thing, and you have to be beaten!" Come on, drag those two bastards out and send them to the East Factory, San'er, you give me a good trial of them, and ask who made them do this. ”
"The slave obeys." The third father-in-law received the order.
