The stars are sunny and the moon is clear, in the imperial city, in a duty room on the south side of the Wenhua Palace. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

There was a muffled sound, and the notebook that had been sent by the General Political Envoy overnight was slapped on the case.

"Ridiculous! How can the dignified heavenly family compete with the people for profit! With such despicable means, where are the people, where is the face of the heavenly family? ”

The scholar of the palace, the official Shangshang was furious at this time, and even the long beard of his cheeks fell with his heavy breathing, and even the laugh lines of his eyes were straightened by anger.

The first cabinet minister in the history of the Ming Dynasty had just turned fifty-five, and he was in the prime of life as the first assistant.

At this moment, he was obviously very angry, Shang Shi calmed down a little, and said to Wang Xu, who was bowing to the side, "Has Gong Peng ever slept?" ”

Wang Jinggong took a deep look and replied: "Back to the pavilion elder, Peng Gong occasionally felt a little sick today, and he has already rested. Why don't I check it out? ”

Hearing this, Shang Shi waved his hand, picked up a note casually, and a line of clean and energetic small letters jumped on the paper. "No need, let Peng Gong sleep, recently there was a flood in Hebei, and Peng Gong has not slept for a few days. Go, send this note to the capital Shi Baigui. ”

Wang Jinggong took it with both hands, exited the door and walked in the direction of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

It is also the imperial city, Shoukang Palace, the residence of the Empress Dowager Zhou, the mother of the emperor Zhu Jianshen.

At this time, the Empress Dowager Zhou was teasing a little flower cat with a white body and a spotted back, and a eunuch in his fifties stood behind her with a smile.

The kitten was in the arms of the Empress Dowager Zhou, a pair of small paws holding a hairball and playing energetically, with a simple head and a brain, and from time to time "meow" and bark softly.

"Or do you old people know the thoughts of the mourning family, what is the interest of the golden jade block? It's still this lively spirit that attracts people's love, oh, look at this poor little child. ”

The old eunuch behind him smiled like a chrysanthemum on his face when he heard this, bowed lower, and said softly: "The Queen Mother is the mother of the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven is rich all over the world, how dare the old slave offer the eyes of the ordinary Empress Dowager." The old slave is away all the year round, and he can't serve in front of the queen mother, so he found this flower cat to accompany you on behalf of the old slave, and the queen mother likes it. ”

Hearing this, Empress Dowager Zhou smiled and brushed the ears of the flower cat, and said: "You slave, your mouth is the sweetest, so you don't give anything, you can coax people with a sharp mouth." You are in charge of many things for the mourning family in the palace, and the mourning family has not forgotten your credit. Tell the mourning family, there is something new outside, this person always stays in the palace, just like a blind and deaf person, but it is boring. ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, Huairou's one-acre three-point land can run around for a meal, how can there be anything new. But recently, there was a stunned person, and just after taking over the errand of the county government to catch the head, he arrested Fang Wu, the bully of Huairou as the troublemaker. It's funny to say, the head catcher had just taken office, and there were few people under his hands, so he went to the gambling house under the name of the bully, and exposed the evil deeds of the gambling house in front of the gamblers。。。。。。 ”

The eunuch was very clever, adding fuel and vinegar to Yue Zhang's arrest of Fang Wu, saying a lot of nonsense, and was stunned to blow Yue Zhang into the reincarnation of Zhuge who was brave and resourceful and full of wisdom.

Empress Dowager Zhou's former residence in the deep palace, I was fascinated for a while, and heard that the crowd was besieging the county government, Yue Zhang led the crowd to be outnumbered, and the blood was sprinkled with drums, and she gasped again and again.

She gently stroked her chest, restrained her ups and downs with Yue Zhang's encounter, and said, "Oh, this kid is not weak, he is brave and strategic, which is as you said." Mourning family look, this is not Leng , this is loyal and resolute. If you don't have the heart of loyalty to the king and cherish the people, how can you do such heroic things? But that Fang Wu is just a splash, how can he dominate the township for so many years at the feet of Huairou, the son of heaven? That Huairou's parents and officials are all messing up? ”

The eunuch's eyes flashed, pretending to be embarrassed, and he was urged by the Empress Dowager Zhou to say: "The old slave doesn't dare to deceive the Empress Dowager, that Fang Wu is the cousin of Zheng Bin, the eunuch in charge of the Huangzhuang。。。。。。 That Zheng Bin is Wan Guifei's person, that Zheng Bin relied on Wan Guifei's support, and teamed up with Fang Wu to seize people's land, forcing the township to surrender to Huangzhuang, and even the fields of our palace village were forcibly occupied by them in many places. The old slave was afraid that the Queen Mother would be angry when she knew it, so she didn't dare to tell the 。。。。。。 ”

When Empress Dowager Zhou heard this, she became angry, and the flower cat in her arms jumped to the ground with a scream, meowing blankly and non-stop. "Han Hong! You are a murderer, I look at your cleverness on weekdays, so I asked you to manage the affairs of the palace for the mourning family, why are you so confused! Whether it is the palace of the mourning family or the emperor's palace, it is a heavenly industry, although many uses in the palace depend on the two villages, but if the palace is more frugal, how much can it cost in a year? For the sake of some money, I lost the face of my heavenly family, where is it big and where is it small? Moreover, Zheng Bin and the bullies invaded the people's land, did the huge profits go into the palace or into their own pockets? The mourning family is in charge of the harem, how dare you deceive the mourning family for such a big event? It's really time to fight! ”

The palace maid and eunuch in the palace saw that the queen mother was angry, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, and did not dare to come out. Han Hong knelt on the ground and trembled, constantly pumping his mouth, and said: "The old slave should die, please calm the queen mother's anger"

Empress Dowager Zhou stabilized her mind, turned to a eunuch beside her and said, "Where are you going to the emperor, tell him to come and see me tomorrow morning." ”

Seeing that Han Hong was still smoking his mouth, his face was already red, and he sighed and said, "Okay, don't pretend to be pitiful with the mourning family, you are also so old, why are you still like a stunned young man." The mourning family knows your thoughts, and is afraid that the mourning family will be angry. The sin is not in you, it is all the concubines. The mourning family has long known that she is not a good person, and the half-old don't know how to lose their hands on the emperor, I am afraid that the three souls and seven spirits have been hooked by her. If it weren't for her backing, the slave wouldn't have dared to be so rampant. You should step down, go back and do things well, and in the future, you will learn from that little head catcher, and do more things to give the emperor and the mourning family's face. ”

Han Hong kept saying yes, knelt down and retreated to the temple gate, bowing and retreating. The moment he turned around, a smug smile appeared on his brow.

In the early morning of the next day, the stars and the moon were not dispersed, and the civil and military officials stood in front of the left and right doors in order of rank. When the brocade wrestlers sounded their whips nine times, they walked across the Jinshui Bridge in turn, and Wen Zuowu stood in front of Fengtian Gate. Later, the music sounded, and the minister of civil and military affairs walked into the hall under the attention of twelve gold-armored warriors on both sides of the palace gate.

The upper corridor of the hall is set up with nine dragon golden platforms, and the left and right bells and drums are musical.

With a confident "The emperor has arrived!" Emperor Zhu of Chenghua saw the deep dragon walking and sat on the Golden Platform of Kowloon. Behind the golden platform, the two palace maids held the armed group fan and stood behind the golden platform.

"Ministers see the emperor, long live my emperor!"

Seeing the emperor sitting, the civil and military nobles of the Manchu Dynasty all bowed to the ground, and in an instant, the high golden platform was like Mount Tai of Daizong, and Zhu Jianshen was even more like Mount Tai at this moment, looking down on everything in the world.

"The multitude ... Numerous... Numerous... Qingping... Body! ”

Zhu Jianshen finished this short sentence with difficulty, and the domineering spirit that should have embodied the Ninety-Five Supreme was leaked out with his stammering. He himself was annoyed that the root of his neck turned red, and his body collapsed.

"Emperor Xie!" The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty got up and bowed again, and stood in shifts.

Zhu Jianshen glanced at the little eunuch beside him, the little eunuch understood, and said loudly: "Inquire on behalf of the emperor, can there be any work?" If you have something to play early, you have nothing to retreat~"

The little eunuch's long voice was not finished, and the left capital of the procuratorate, Yu Shi Baigui, stood still, and said loudly: "Chen Baigui has a book to start playing Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Jianshen glanced at the little eunuch again, and the little eunuch understood, and said, "Inquire on behalf of the emperor, what is the matter with Qing?" ”

Looking at Shang Yan who was standing at the front of the civil official ranks, Shang Zhen nodded slightly, Bai Gui took a deep breath, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, yesterday the General Political Envoy forwarded the county order Hu Ying to Huairou County in the suburbs of Beijing, and Zheng Bin, the eunuch in charge of Huangzhuang, teamed up with the local bully Fang Guoquan, the county Cheng Wang Chun, the chief bookkeeper Yao Guangli and others to forcibly invade the people's fields for more than 30 years. Huangzhuang is a heavenly industry, so competing with the people for benefits and harming the place is not the appearance of the prosperous world, and the Ming monarch did it! ”

Seeing that Shangguan had already spoken, the group of imperial historians at the back of the team knelt on the ground and denounced it. The more he spoke, the more sad and indignant he became, as if this incident was a sign of the death of the country, and finally he couldn't help but cry out loudly.

Zhu Jianshen's mouth was closed one by one, and he wanted to refute, but he couldn't say a word in a hurry.

Peng Shi had a stroke a few days ago, and these days he was busy with disaster relief in Hebei, and his brain was originally dizzy. Hearing Bai Gui's play, he was so angry that he was sweating, and his body shook a few times, and it took a long time to recover.

At this time, he shook his sleeves, took the wat board and saluted: "Your Majesty, Mencius has clouds; Destroy, the loss of the world, the loss of its people; Those who lose their people will also lose their hearts. There is a way to win the world, to win its people, and to win the world. There is a way to win the people, to win their hearts, and to win the people. There is a way in his heart, and he gathers with it as much as he wants, and he does not do anything evil. My people of the Ming Dynasty are like the fish in the abyss, and now the Huangzhuang and the people are fighting for land, just like the king and the king, like a reckless and ferocious otter, muddying the water and killing the fish away. Son of Heaven, take the world as your home, and use the Huangzhuang as your home? I also hope that the emperor will take the emperor as a warning, revoke the emperor's village, and severely punish the first evil. ”

After seeing Peng Shi, Shang Shi immediately went out of class, citing scriptures and classics to support Peng Shi's arguments. These two champions, one of whom is still the only one in the Ming Dynasty who is a three-yuan and first-class scholar, is stunned to use the Confucian and Mencian theory to raise the danger level of this matter to the highest level.

Wenchen queued up to see the two cabinet elders taking turns, and immediately went out to second the proposal, and the crowd was enthusiastic for a while.

Zhu Jianshen was very aggrieved, he didn't know anything about Huangzhuang's forcible robbery of people's land, why was he compared to a man? I was angry in my heart, but I couldn't refute it, and it was really bitter.

"Alas," Zhu Jianshen sighed. There are only two situations in which he does not stutter, when he sighs, and when he talks to Concubine Wan.

"... Big... Li Temple, Criminal Department, all... Procuratorate, three divisions... Disposal... Withdraw... Retreat! ”

After saying that, he flicked the sleeves of his robe, and regardless of the courtiers, he got up and left.

Note: Sanyuan and the first are equivalent to the first in the country in the high school entrance examination, the first in the college entrance examination, and then admitted to Harvard as the first in the country in the university. From the Tang Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, there were only fifteen people who won this honor, so they were the top of the scholars. In addition, there were two people in the Ming Dynasty who won this honor, and the other was Huang Guan, but it was erased because of the Jingnan relationship.
