There was a sudden loud noise outside the Taisu Palace, which suddenly surprised several palace maids inside. It must be known that because this is close to the inner school field where the little emperor often comes and goes, there are always guards at the gate of the government army. At first, there were still a few small firefighters serving here, but as the little Zhu Gonggong often came and went, those few small firefighters were all transferred, and only a few of them were left in the huge place.

Since Zhou Qiniang and the little Zhu Gong had a good bus, in the past, when the little Zhu Gonggong came here to walk around, he was also very kind to them, and he was more generous with his hands, and from time to time there would be some new things for them, so even if some people were jealous that Zhou Qiniang was often summoned to Renshou Palace by the Empress Dowager Zhang, he gradually calmed down. At this moment, several people looked at each other, and one of them left the work at hand and went to the back.

"Seventh sister, there is a big quarrel ahead! Why don't we go out and have a look? ”

Zhou Qiniang also heard the shouting in front of her, and stood up after a moment of silence. However, what she didn't expect was that at this moment, a person from outside quickly broke in. Although she hadn't seen her for a while, she still recognized the person at once, and suddenly exclaimed, "Father-in-law Xu? ”

Thanks to Zhu Houzhao, Xu Xun, who was a father-in-law again, resisted the urge to roll his eyes, coughed lightly and was about to speak, when the person behind him finally rushed in, grabbed his shoulder, and shouted: "Xu Xun, what do you want to do?" I didn't let you come to do anything bad to me! ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Houzhao saw Xu Xun looking at him innocently.

At this moment, Zhu Houzhao noticed the shocked expressions on the faces of the two people opposite. In a hurry just now, he drank Xu Xun's identity in one gulp, and then called himself me, if this is not a chalky goof, it will be incredible. So his scalp was tingling, and he involuntarily let go of his hand, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. At this time, Xu Xun sighed helplessly.

"The minister didn't say anything! This impulsive temperament, when can you change it, Your Majesty? ”

"The Emperor...... Emperor? ”

The little palace maid beside Zhou Qiniang was already shocked and frightened, but Zhou Qiniang was just a little frightened. At this time, Xu Xun stepped forward without saying a word, and he didn't care about whether the men and women gave or received kisses, so he pulled the little palace maid out, and when he passed by Zhu Houzhao's side, he also whispered: "Quickly cut through the mess, if you have anything to say, just dig out your heart and say don't hide it." ”

Before Zhu Houzhao could react, Xu Xun dragged someone out of the door. With a small commotion outside, everything fell silent, and the stiff atmosphere made him uncomfortable. But at this time, even though he knew that he was in a hurry just now, Zhu Houzhao had to bite the bullet and say, "Seventh sister...... This thing is like this......"

"Slaves and maids see the emperor."

Seeing the woman in front of him kneeling down and saluting, Zhu Houzhao was in a hurry, and couldn't care about it anymore, Zhong wanted to help people, but as soon as he started it, he felt that the chalk was hard and heavy. Knowing that things were not good, he saw that Zhou Qiniang only lowered his head and didn't look at him, he simply let go of his hand and sat down on the ground with a fart, and then said angrily: "I know that you are angry that I lied to you, but I didn't mean to!" The first time I met you with Xu Xun, it happened that I wanted to see what kind of people Li Rong and they specially selected for me, who knew that after watching a few times, they were almost the same, and they all smiled and talked even more, so the two of us simply left Li Rong to walk around, and I met you! ”…,

After saying this, seeing that Zhou Qiniang was still silent, Zhu Houzhao continued: "So I transferred you to Renshou Palace under the pretext of sending a few people to serve my mother, thinking that I could often sneak to meet you, and later asked Rong Shangyi to say that after moving my mother, I transferred you to Taisu Palace, so that you can see you every day when you go to Xiyuan...... I am the Son of Heaven, but I have never had brothers and sisters, except for the few people around me and Xu Xun, most of the women I saw had ulterior motives, and when I thought of living with those people for the rest of my life, I was not happy! ”

After suddenly calling himself me again, Zhu Houzhao suddenly softened his voice again: "I like to stay with you, I like you to teach me a lesson, I like someone to ask me for warmth and really care about my daily life, I like that in addition to the queen mother, there is another place where you can run and hide anytime and anywhere!" Speaking of this, he grasped the pair of soft hair, and said word by word, "But you can't be like this for the rest of your life, Xu Xun's kid is a role model, he likes a person, and he can do countless ways to marry someone back, how can I, the son of heaven, be inferior to him?" If you like someone, you have to protect her for the rest of your life! ”

Those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, and Xu Xun has been exposed to it for so long, Zhu Houzhao's tone of these words is categorical, full of an undoubted convincingness. Even though Zhou Qiniang was already in turmoil, she couldn't help but raise her head at this moment. Before she could react, the little emperor opposite, who was obviously younger than herself, actually pulled her into his arms.

"I have already agreed with the queen mother, we will get married in August!"

Xu Xun outside heard the rare words that showed chalky intentions in the world now, and he couldn't help but laugh, and then turned around. Seeing the trembling faces of the three little palace maids, he beckoned. When the three of them followed him to the courtyard outside the main hall, he stopped and said in a deep voice: "Today this thing is rotten in your stomach, what does it mean to turn a blind eye and hear but not hear, you should not need me to teach you." The Queen Mother will order someone to pick up Miss Zhou, if you are willing to follow, you will follow, there may be a chance to release the palace in the future, if you are not willing to ......"

"Yes, yes!"

"Me too...... No, no, so are slaves! ”

"The slave just wants to dare to ask Uncle Pingbei, the emperor just said that the big wedding ......"

Seeing that the last palace maid wanted to speak and stopped, Xu Xun said lightly: "The emperor's golden words, how can it be fake?" ”

As for what Zhu Houzhao said about the Empress Dowager Zhang, this is not something he should care about!

After beating these three little palace maids, Xu Xun came outside. Seeing that the guards of the government army who were guarding again were all gathered around and crying and not nervous, he smiled and comforted: "It's okay, the emperor is just in a hurry, you can remember this matter today and hide it in your hearts." You are the emperor's sword-bearer, if the emperor can't believe it, who else can you trust? ”

It wasn't until he soothed these nervous sergeants in a few words that Xu Xun let out a long sigh of relief. However, when he saw Latham and a few equally bewildered attendants standing under the willow tree that had not yet budded, he knew that there was still one more hurdle to pass, so he had to step forward with his hands behind his back.

"Pingbeibo, here is ......"

"It doesn't matter anymore." Xu Xun remembered that he had made Zhu Houzhao chalky with a little trick, but the result was surprisingly good, so he couldn't help laughing, and then said to a few incredible servants, "If the emperor comes out later, you will play on your behalf, and say that I wish the emperor a victory, and I wish the emperor a victory, and I wish the future will be a success." I still have some things to do at this point, so I'll go first. ”

Xu Xun walked fast, several chamberlains were caught off guard, and seeing him leave, one of the slightly older couldn't help but say to Ruisheng: "Grandpa Rui, do you want to stop it?" If the emperor comes out and can't find Pingbeibo, what will happen? ”…,

You must know that when Zhu Houzhao chased him in just now, he was angry with a blue face!

"It's okay, since Uncle Ping said so, it must be that the emperor's anger has disappeared." Latham & Spontane's confidence in Xu Xun is simply incomparable, and his voice is unusually stable at this time, "If the emperor is really guilty, it is all on me alone, and it has nothing to do with you." ”

With such a sentence, the others were a little relieved, but they still couldn't help but look inside. I don't know how long it took for them to see Zhu Houzhao coming out of it with a spring breeze on his face. Ruisheng hurriedly nodded and walked up quickly, glanced at the little emperor's face, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, Pingbei Bo said, I wish the emperor a victory, and he will also win in the future." He also said that he had something to do and left first. ”

"I knew he was slippery, he walked fast!" Zhu Houzhao snorted lightly, but he was still in a good mood at the moment, so he waved his hand generously and said, "Leave him alone, go, go to Renshou Palace with me!" ”

This scene in the Taisu Hall of Xiyuan, although Xu Xun ordered the news of the chalk lock, it quickly reached Liu Jin's ears. Knowing that Xu Xun and this time, that is, he and Zhou Qiniang have met three or four times, they can't talk about a deep relationship, but after all, he has decided on a different queen in one fell swoop, although he is unhappy, he can't help but think about how to point out to the future queen that he also made a big contribution at the beginning. However, when another report appeared in front of him, he immediately forgot about it.

On this night, the Liu Mansion in Dongshajia Hutong on Gulouxia Street was full of chalky people. Except for Han Fu, who had just been promoted to the right deputy capital Yushi and went to Susong, Jiao Fang, the second assistant of the cabinet, Chen Zhen, the left attendant of the military department, and Li Xian, who was in the middle of the matter...... A dozen officials and crucines were present.

When he saw such a scene, Liu Jin, who was sitting on the chair of the Taishi in the center, only felt complacent, and for a while he thought of Tang Taizong's famous emotion.

The heroes of the world are all in my place!

He lifted his weight lightly and threw the fold sent by Han Fu, who was hurrying to Susong on a cold day, on the table, and then said with a smile: "This is the song sent by Han Fu for eight hundred miles in an urgent manner, and the content of it is shocking. In recent years, there have been many people in Jiangnan and other places who have been affected by disasters and asked for tax exemption, and the first emperor has been exempted again and again, but the edict of tax exemption has come to the end, but it is not really implemented to the end! If you have a little conscience, then you will be exempted from sixty or seventy percent, and tell the surname Bai Qi that this is the benevolence of the Son of Heaven, if there are those remote poor villages, there are even those who are not at all! In addition, there is also a period of dragging on the summer tax and autumn grain of the chalk court, and then the chalk uses the chalk price to sell the grain first, and then eats it at the low chalk price after earning a vote. Of course, this is not a steady profit, and the arrears of many local government treasury are accumulated little by little because of these deficits! ”

Liu Jin said this in one breath, and when he saw that all the officials and chalkers below were shocked, he left the backrest, leaned forward slightly, and said with blazing eyes: "So, at the beginning, Liu Jian, Xie Qian and others controlled the cabinet, and called the four seas to rise to peace, and our family really blushed for them!" When Han Fu comes back from Susong, our family plans to promote him to be a household servant, clean up the whole world, and see how many taxes that have been left out are confiscated, so as not to empty the treasury and enrich private individuals, what do you think? ”

Although Liu Jin didn't talk to anyone about the matter discussed tonight, at this moment, everyone didn't know that he had made up his mind. Therefore, Jiao Fang was the first to echo: "My father-in-law is thinking about the emperor wholeheartedly, and this proposal is naturally very good!" ”

"It's time to govern, if you don't clean it up, God knows how much grain reserves there are in the world's treasury?" …,

"Father-in-law is wise!"

Hearing such praise, Liu Jin raised his eyebrows proudly, and then said: "Now that we are doing such a thing in a big way, we have to combine it with the inspection of the officials. Not to mention anything else, Liu Jian Xie Qian has been in the cabinet for so many years, and there are so many maladministrations, they should be responsible for it first! Are they blind or deaf, have they never known these treacherous names below? There is also the former household department Shangshu Hangul, he is the head of a household department, and he has lost a lot of classics, not counting, he doesn't know anything about the chaos in the states and counties below? Eating the chalk court, but dereliction of duty like this, he should be punished severely! ”

The topic suddenly jumped from cleaning up grain reserves to the gloomy bigwigs before the punishment, and there was a little cold at the bottom. After a while, Li Xiancai coughed lightly and asked, "How does my father-in-law plan to punish him?" ”

"How to punish, first punish the rice and lose the side, if they are honest, it will be fine, if they are not honest, they will be removed from the side!" When Liu Jin thought of the days when he groveled under the noses of these people, he couldn't help but grit his teeth in his heart, so after a slight pause, he said word by word, "Always let them know that the days when they covered the sky with one hand are gone!" ”

Although most of the officials and officials present are marginalized figures who have been in their careers for many years, even Jiao Fang feels a little inappropriate for Liu Jin's ruthless revenge. After hesitating again and again, Jiao Fang smiled and said, "What my father-in-law said is true, but this matter is still good to come in step by step." For example, first let Han Fu's performance create some momentum in the court, and then hold those state and county officials accountable, and then their bosses, and wait until the heat is almost over, and then pull Liu Jian and the others off the horse. ”

Jiao Fang's chalk has been up and down for many years, and even wandered outside for many years, but he was finally able to return to the dynasty, and his reputation has not been very good, and many people present are not very convinced by him as a cabinet assistant. But at this time, most people agreed with his words, and even Li Xian, who was eager to enshrine Liu Jin's every word as a golden rule, nodded and said: "Father-in-law, what the second assistant said is reasonable, as long as you press step by step, this matter will be done!" ”

Liu Jin just wanted to try to see if these people who had been recruited by himself could obey his words, although this goal could not be said to be completely achieved, but it could still satisfy him, even if it was not the result he wanted most. Therefore, he nodded slightly, and then said undoubtedly: "All in all, what our family wants to do is to completely let people know that those chalk officials who claim to be honest and fair are actually the most unbearable characters. And those really good officials who are pressed by these pseudo-chalk gentlemen, our family will never hesitate to promote! ”

At the same time, the Xu family in Xing'an Bofu did not have the scene of the Liu family, not only that, but Xu Xun, as the owner, was not at home. Although he avoided Zhu Houzhao afterwards, he was afraid that the little emperor would go straight to my home, so he simply invited Zhang Caigu to explain some important matters this night.

At this moment, he walked up the stairs, condescendingly looking at the singing and dancing people on the chalk high platform, and couldn't help but think of the last time the avant-garde officers of the government army He Qianning was promoted, and he couldn't help but stagnate slightly, and then he heard a voice overhead.

"Adults are coming so slowly!"

Seeing Zhang Cai standing on top in a scribe's clothes, with Tang Yin beside him, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then went up the last few stairs with a smile. When he arrived at one of the boxes and sat down, he saw that there was only a layer of semi-transparent chalky curtains hanging outside, and he couldn't help asking: "Why is Chalk talking in such a place, and why did you bring Bohu here?" ”…,

"I'm a regular visitor here, and as for Bohu, he's the favorite of the girls here. The famous Tang Xie Yuan, who wrote a great talent who is more intriguing than a talented and beautiful drama Jinling Dream, is it not easy to write a few lyrics and songs here, there is some reputation among these people, and there is no news that will be slower than the factory guard. This is not a real place for fireworks, listen to music and watch dance, many officials and chalkers often come here to talk about things, a loud sound outside, not afraid of the sound inside being exposed to the chalk, by the way to relax and relax. I know adults rarely come here, so let me be an east today! It's just the three of us sitting here, and in the eyes of people, there is far more pleasure than secret business. ”

Xu Xun was so crying and laughing by Zhang Cai's words that he had the heart to refuse his kindness, but he had come and gone, so he could only stop there. After a few glasses of wine, he said: "I am afraid that I will not be able to take care of the matter of asking you to write to Master Ma before, so I will leave this matter to you." The charts and the military register must be found, this thing is a valuable information accumulated during the Yongle years, and it will definitely be used in the future! ”

"Don't worry, my lord, Master Ma has always been the most open person, and besides, if I ask in person, he will definitely say it." Zhang Cai replied confidently, and then said tentatively, "The lord suddenly chose to go out at such a time, it should not be to temporarily avoid the edge of Gonggong Liu, but to let him be neutral in the DPRK, right?" ”

"That's right, it's just that without my constraints, Lord Lin and Master Zhang are only afraid that the pressure will be much greater, you remember to help a lot. If there is any disharmony, go to the door of the Father-in-law of the Admiral Xichang Valley, or go to the outer city to ask the former Master of Ceremonies Palm Seal Father-in-law Xiao.

Of course, if it is really impossible for both sides for the time being, you can go to Gonggong Rui, the steward of the Qianqing Palace, and see if he has any way to make a decision from the emperor. ”

Although the three people Xu Xun said as soon as he opened his mouth were all eunuchs, Zhang Cai had always been a person with power and change, so he didn't feel anything wrong, so he naturally nodded immediately. Then he looked at Tang Yin and said, "If the adults are not there, I will definitely try to reconcile with Lord Lin and Master Zhang." It's just that the letters exchanged by adults, or Bohu is more appropriate to pass in the middle, so as not to avoid Xing'anbo, and secondly, you can also screen priorities, in addition, next year is the year of spring, and the Hanlin Academy is about to disperse, although it is next year, I can see from my previous experience in the Anthology Division, this year is almost ready, I don't know what arrangements the adults have for those few Jishi? ”

"Although Zhan Yuanming is not as stubborn and stubborn as Wang Bo'an, he is not a person who can be arranged, plus he is Chen Baisha's descendant and chalk, and he has someone to take care of him, so we don't need to arrange his affairs. As for Xu Zhenqing, he is very good-looking, and instead of letting him be ridiculed among the six departments, it is better to let him stay in the Hanlin Academy. Although Yan Songcai is not first-class, he is an interesting person, if he can, he will be transferred to the Imperial Court to give it a try. ”

One sentence decided the whereabouts of the three people, and he just looked at Zhang Cai and said: "Xilu, you are now in the prime of life, and the imperial history of the right capital is just a transition." Since some people can move three times a year, or even make the leap into the cabinet in one fell swoop, you have to be prepared. ”

In the Ming Dynasty, it is indeed an era based on seniority, but it does not mean that there are no promotions among civil officials, or even many promotions. At this moment, Zhang Cai understood the sound of this sentence, and couldn't help but take a deep breath for a while, but Tang Yin next to him arched his hand with a smile and said, "Congratulations to Lord Zhang, congratulations to Lord Zhang!" ”

Zhang Cai regained his composure at this time, and said with a smile: "Don't patronize me, you insist on refusing to take the imperial examination again, otherwise how can you lose a jinshi?" ”…,

"To recognize those old men who refused to preside over the public road in the past as teachers, and always consider themselves protégés in the future, I Tang Yin thought that I couldn't do it!" Tang Yin shook his head, and then said word by word, "For me, Master Cheng, who appreciated my poetry and literary talent back then, although he never really took me, is my real grace master. Xiao Xu and I met adults, and only then did we regain our vitality, but Master Cheng couldn't live back! I'm not like Xiao Xu who needs to revive his family name, a Xie Yuan's name is enough! ”

Speaking of this, Tang Yin suddenly stood up and waved at Xu Xun and said: "My lord, I have one thing to ask for, I and Xiao Xu, the public case of the imperial examination fraud case, I hope to be written into a play, so that even illiterate people in the world can see it and know it!" ”

Xu Xun was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but then he came back to his senses. He looked at Tang Yin with blazing eyes, and said with a smile: "I thought it was something, what is presumptuous about this, you just go and write, after the writing is completed, Xianyuan will still premiere!" Don't forget to write Mrs. Zun into the play, this is the real talent and beauty. When the time comes, if it is the day of the play, I will definitely invite the emperor to give you this good show in person! ”

Zhang Cai saw Xu Xun suddenly made this series of promises, and after being stunned at first, he suddenly realized. Such an injustice has been ignored by many bigwigs, and if it spreads to the world, it will also be a heavy blow to the reputation of many people. From this point of view, Xu Xun is really ruthless! But only in this way can we get to where we are now!

However, Xu Xun, who was secretly praised by Zhang Cai as ruthless, did not stop there, but said with a twinkle in his eyes: "I heard that Kang Zhuoshan is also good at writing plays, you go and discuss with him, and write me another play together." is also a real person and true story of this dynasty, that is, Wang Yue, who was nicknamed Xiangmin, was once named Wei Ningbo, and his military achievements were great but he was finally taken away from the title. I will find you his poems again, generous and sad, with the tragic sound of Heshuo, which is much better than those poems that are not sick and moaning and chalky and decorate the peace today. Just because he once befriended eunuchs, he erased his merits, there is no such injustice in the world! ”

As soon as the words fell, he only heard a heavy cough outside, followed by a heaval laugh: "Okay, it turns out that you ran here to discuss secretly from me!" Indignantly say who is unfair, what kind of crooked ideas do you have!
