Chapter 238: A good official wants to be an official

Zhu Yijun's face is not very good-looking, although the emperors in the middle and late Ming Dynasty are not on the right path with the Wenchen, but after all, they were educated by the Wenchens, from the point of view of respecting the teacher, the teacher should hit the palm of the hand or the palm of the hand, but whether you are the emperor or not, it is not like the children of ordinary people in later generations are little emperors and little princesses, and they can't be scolded when they say that they are beaten, and they can't be scolded, like Zhu Yijun serving Zhang Juzheng with a decoction, which is probably unimaginable in later generations.

However, Concubine De comes from the people, just like Zhang Cheng flattered her and said that her mother knows the sufferings of the people, she has lost her mother since she was a child, she has a widowed father, and a younger brother who does not know anything.

Seeing that Wanli's face was not good-looking, Concubine De stretched out her hand and dragged him, and said softly: "It's nothing, Zhang Taiyue was forty-two years old when he entered the cabinet, and the emperor is only twenty-one years old this year, and he ......will wait for another twenty-one years" She said, pulling Wanli to stroke her lower abdomen, and at this time her face showed tenderness, "Our child is also twenty-one years old, when the time comes!" The emperor must be more powerful than Zhang Taiyue, and the concubines have never doubted this. ”

Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun immediately smiled, hugged Concubine De's fragrant shoulder, and gently stroked her bulging lower abdomen, but at this time he looked apologetic, "Speaking of which, it's all because I am not good, my body is weak, and my concubine has to help me deal with this major event in the world." ”

Concubine De snorted and laughed, arching him with her shoulder, "Okay, okay, my goosebumps have fallen all over the place, where is there any major event in the world, isn't it just that all kinds of concerts and tickets are going to take a look, read it, and divide it, this job is not as difficult as the big guys in the pawnshop!" Even the second child in the restaurant, singing the name of the dish is more brain-consuming than this, where is it so tiring as you say......"

"Mother, that's talented." Zhang Cheng, the old eunuch next to him, patted Concubine De on the back, "Niangniang, look, let's deal with it here today!" After a while, the emperor will accompany you to the flower garden. ”

Concubine De pondered, "Wait a while!" What about Luo Sigong? Pass him into the palace. Zhang Cheng nodded when he heard this, and hurriedly went, and Concubine De said to Wanli: "Your Majesty, you can hang around here with me!" I've been sitting and my legs are a little swollen......"

When Zhu Yijun heard this, he salivated and bent down, "I'm here to help Concubine Ai rub it." Concubine De's face showed girlish shyness at this time, and her delicate face turned red, and she couldn't help but be disgusted, "Zhu Yijun." ”

These were originally boudoir words between husband and wife, and those eunuchs were all old people around them, turning a blind eye to them, and Concubine De was like a heavenly favor, they had long been used to it, only Sun Yinglong, who was so shocked that his limbs were weak, and he was afraid of being killed...... Cold sweat was all over his forehead, running down his cheeks and up his chin, and then dripping on the ground along his beard.

Wanli was also saved at this time, coughed dryly, slowly straightened her waist, Concubine De smiled sweetly, held Wanli's arm, and the two walked slowly in the palace, quite a folk woman singing with the taste of husband, walked more than ten steps, Concubine De turned her head and said: "Sun Yinglong." ”

Sun Yinglong crawled over with a roll, and Concubine De wrote lightly: "Tell the palace what you saw and heard around the good official, and you will ...... Those showmen set fire to my house and started! ”

After more than half an hour, the Jinyi guard commanded Luo Sigong to enter the palace in a hurry, Concubine De walked around for a while accompanied by the emperor at this time, her face was flushed, she looked particularly delicate, and when she saw Luo Sigong come in, she asked: "Commander Luo, is there still a shortage of Jinyi Wei now!" ”

When Luo Sigong of Jinyiwei's wisdom heard this, he was suddenly embarrassed in his heart, Jinyiwei is different from other yamen, such as civil officials, in the end, there is a term of office, and the officials are still assessed every year, but most of Jinyiwei is hereditary, even if there is an official position transfer, it is also in this yamen, to be honest, Jinyiwei is a radish and a pit, there will definitely be no vacancy, even if the commander of Nanzhen Fusi dies today, it will not even be filled the next day.

However, Luo Sigong also has a number in his heart, and the mother asks if there is a shortage, then there must be a shortage, and there must be a lack if there is not! So he nodded, "There are still many vacancies." ”

"The position of the envoy of Beizhen Fu is still vacant!" Concubine De glanced at him, and then pointed at Sun Yinglong, "Give him the vacancy of the envoy of Beizhen Fu, and give him ten places for 100 households." ”

This Beizhen Fu Si is in charge of the anti-corruption and anti-corruption, monitoring hundreds of officials, the famous edict is from this yamen, once you enter the edict, whether it is the criminal department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate or the Dali Temple, no one can speak, so although the Beizhen Fu Si envoy is just the official position of the five products, but in fact the power is monstrous.

Luo Sigong was stunned for a moment, if this was the commander of the four products or even the commander of the three products, he would have taken it out, but the envoy of the North Town Fu Division, even if he himself had to be afraid of three points, he was not good at treating it as a subordinate, and the later "History of the Ming Dynasty" even separated the Zhenfu Division and the East and West Factory and Jinyiwei, which can imagine the power of the Zhenfu Division.

Concubine De's side Wanli looked at Luo Sigong for a moment, and couldn't help but be slightly angry, "Luo Sigong, didn't you hear what my beloved concubine said!" Next to him, Zhang Cheng fell into the well, and said hesitantly: "When the slave maid went to find Commander Luo, Commander Luo was preparing to go to Wang Xijue's hometown!" ”

Wanli was suddenly furious, although the commander of the Jinyi Guard is also a servant of the royal family, but compared with the eunuchs, it is inevitable that there are still some far and near, since there is the East and West Factory and the Jinyi Guard, these two yamen are collectively called the factory guard, but the internal friction has never stopped, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind, the key depends on who is more favored by the emperor, such as Jiajing Nian, the commander of the Jinyi Guard Lu Bing is the emperor's milk brother, that is really the power of the world, three lonely crowns and three dukes, no matter how favored the eunuch is also afraid of three points, Jin Yiwei doesn't take the East Factory in his eyes.

But now, although it has been the eleventh year of Wanli, the emperor has only been in power for a year, so he naturally believes that there are more eunuchs around him, you know, Luo Sigong is the person promoted by Feng Bao at the beginning, where is Feng Bao now? Nanjing Xiaoling grows vegetables, if it weren't for Concubine De to protect Luo Sigong, Wanli would have been unable to help but move him, but Concubine De persuaded him, although Luo Sigong was promoted by Duke Feng, he could be Liu Shouyou's deputy before, and now he is on the throne, isn't it still the emperor You promoted, if you want to change people, who do you want to change? In this position, loyalty and competence are indispensable.

Therefore, Luo Sigong talked about the favor in front of the emperor, and Zhang Cheng is incomparable, and Zhang Cheng was bullied by Feng Bao very much, no matter how loyal Zhang Cheng is to Wanli and how high his ability is, but he is always a eunuch, and most of the eunuchs have small problems He also has, maybe other eunuchs must report 100 after digitization, then Zhang Cheng must report 30 after digitization, but these 30 are still Jianwei must report, loyal eunuchs are not nothing, but there are very few, even if they are loyal, Entering the palace in the palace inside the big polluted tank soaked, after a long time is not loyal, the loyal eunuchs recorded in the history books are rare because of their rarity, and compared with the huge group of eunuchs, it is not too much to say that one out of ten thousand.

Luo Sigong suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, turned over and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, Weichen is at the invitation of the elder of the Wang Pavilion, not for any big things!" "The commander of the Jinyi Guard and the cabinet elder are so close, and if he changes to an emperor who is a little narrow-minded, he will already give him a color.

I have to say that although His Majesty the Wanli Emperor is not highly evaluated in history, he holds the heart and speaks, and the elements of grievances are the majority, and the "Ming History Criminal Law Chronicle" says: The factory guards are subordinate to and sample 500 lieutenants, and they serve the Heavenly Gate to correct the ceremony...... For thousands of years, those who fail to honor will not be imprisoned.

If the clothes of civil and military officials are not in accordance with the rules, they will be taken down from the court staff or sent to prison, this rule, so many touted Emperor Zhu Ming, even if it is Emperor Xiaozong, who has a good reputation, has not abolished this regulation, or there is this regulation has not been implemented, but to Wanli, the Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun, who was extremely low in historical evaluation, deleted this provision from the Jinyi Wei system in a proper manner, you know, this is the ancestral system, and the best thing for Ming officials is to shout: This is the ancestral law, how can it be changed.

Therefore, Concubine De said that Wanli was a dumb emperor educated by the ministers, not nonsense, from this point of view, Wanli is indeed a very kind emperor.

Zhu Yijun was just a little stupid by the Wenchens, not stupid, and when he heard this, he immediately sneered, "Is it that the old Wang Pavilion saw that Zhang Siwei did not fall and ran around...... Hum! I walked all the way to the head of Jinyiwei, Luo Sigong, you are good, very good......"

Luo Sigong's intestines were blue with regret at this time, "Your Majesty, Weichen didn't even confiscate Wang Xijue for a tael of silver!" Weichen is wronged! ”

"Wronged? You are a commander of the three-grade brocade guard, and you are invited to the elder, what do you want to do? You say, bastard, what do you want to do? Wanli held his stomach with a stomach, at this time he was all vented on Luo Sigong's head, and kicked Luo Sigong to the ground with a flying kick, Luo Sigong sat on the ground with an ass, quickly supported his wrist, and knelt down again, at this time he knew that he had touched the dragon scales, and he didn't dare to quibble, but just kowtowed again and again.

When Concubine De heard this, she suddenly thought about it, and secretly pulled Wanli's sleeve, and then said to Luo Sigong: "Okay, don't kowtow, it's fun to knock your head blue, I don't know what happened to the emperor in the palace!" ”

Sun Yinglong next to him saw all this, and at this time he felt that although he mixed well in Nanjing with his own brain, but when he arrived in Yanjing, all the people he saw were all human spirits, no wonder people said that the six Lang officials in Nanjing had to go to Nanjing after failing the struggle, so it seems that it is true.

Seeing that Wanli was so angry that her face was red, Concubine De called Zhang Cheng to bring a cup of ginseng tea to Wan Sui Ye, stretched out her slender jade hand to give Wanli a smooth breath, and comforted while stroking: "Okay, okay, don't be angry with these minions below, besides, isn't he Luo Commander still doing something!" ”

"What did he do, then pay it back?" Wanli is still angry, in fact, he knows that this is the recent repression, one by one, none of the things that go well, Luo Sigong went to Wang Xijue's invitation, this matter can actually be big or small, it is not a serious problem, but who told him to touch the mold!

After calming Wanli down, Concubine De condescendingly looked at Luo Sigong who was kneeling on the ground, and asked, "Is there a shortage of this Beizhen Fu envoy?" Sun Yinglong swallowed a mouthful of saliva beside him, and subconsciously felt that this position was not easy to sit.

"Yes." Luo Sigong hung his head and said obediently.

"Don't have a dead face, his name is Sun Yinglong, and now he is following Uncle Guo to do things, and he will not have any chance to handle official business in Yanjing City in the future." Concubine De is giving Luo Sigong a sweet date, telling him that this is not that the emperor wants to take your power step by step, you just do your job, "The emperor beats and scolds you, that's ......"

"It's Weichen's fault." Luo Sigong's head hung on the ground, Concubine De had to let the eunuch next to her go over to help her to show her favor, and then said: "This can't be blamed on you, these days, there are a lot of things, it's very chaotic, this province and two counties haven't been so lively for a long time, and the emperor is also angry with the cabinet, you are the commander of the Jinyi Guard, a person from the heavenly family, this fire is naturally directed at you......"

appeased Luo Sigong to the point of gratitude, and it seemed that he got a heart-warming kick that was about two million, and Concubine De said slowly: "Go out of the palace in a while, and you will still go to the appointment of the elder of the Wang Pavilion." ”

Luo Sigong, who was kneeling on the ground, was old in official business, and immediately knew that there must be something to follow, so he made an expression of respectful listening at the moment.

Concubine De raised her eyebrows and said, "You just tell him, Mr. Shen Shixing Shen will act as the first assistant immediately, this time to assist, but many people are interested, Zhang Siwei can't come back after three years, it's all about it!" Now Guozhang is the governor of the Zuo Governor of the Five Armies of Nanjing, the so-called brother who fights the tiger, and the father and son soldiers who go into battle...... At the beginning, his son instigated people to burn down the Ningbo Guozhang Mansion, but the palace was recorded in his heart! Her eyebrows slowly rose, and there was even an indescribable murderous aura on her face.

"Don't think that if the palace receives a few gifts from him, he will forget about it, you tell him what he said, go!" Concubine De waved her hand at him, and at this time she looked a little tired, and the big eunuch Zhang Cheng hurriedly asked the two eunuchs to help Concubine De sit down, bent down and whispered beside her: "Niangniang, you are heavy now, don't be in a hurry about these things, take your time!" ”

Luo Sigong understood, this is Niangniang making a deal with Wang Ge Lao! At the moment, he respectfully kowtowed to the emperor's mother, and then slowly retreated, out of the Qianqing Palace, then he took a long breath, stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat, and said that the momentum of Concubine De Niangniang was becoming more and more majestic, and he turned around and looked at the huge and solemn Qianqing Palace, and there was an indescribable meaning on his face, until a few eunuchs passed by, and he left in a hurry.

After drinking two sips of hot tea, Concubine De felt a little soothed, and she called Sun Yinglong, "Now you are the envoy of Beizhen Fu, do a good job, and you may not be able to seal your wife and son in the future, go down!" ”

Sun Yinglong in the Qianqing Palace can be described as a heart up and down, ups and downs, a lifetime of surprises have not been today, I want to show loyalty, see the face of the mother is tired, he is also able to carry the weight, knelt down at the moment to thank him, pouted his ass and slowly retreated to the door, just turned around and stepped out of the door, behind the voice of Concubine De Niangniang sounded, "Remember to bring your wife and children to Yanjing after you go back, you are now also proud of your eyebrows, don't want to walk at night in brocade." ”

When a foot that crossed the threshold stopped in the air with three flicks of his fingers, Sun Yinglong retracted his foot, knelt on the ground again and thanked him, and then turned to leave.

Looking at the departing Sun Yinglong, Zhang Cheng said in a low voice: "Niangniang, is this too fast, and it is not a blessing to advance suddenly!" Concubine De smiled, walked to the side of the rosewood arhat couch, and sat next to Wanli, Wanli was still a little sulky, his Concubine De leaned into his arms, and suddenly this anger disappeared, "Ruotong, I'm here to pinch your feet, okay!" ”

was pinched by Wanli with both hands on her feet, Concubine De giggled and shrunk her feet, "Zhu Yijun, you are really stupid, the guys in the urn hall (bathhouse) outside are better than you in doing this." ”

"Wow! It seems that you have been to the urn hall, and you are too self-respecting, look at how I clean you up. Wanli opened his teeth and claws at his beloved concubine, and Concubine De lay down in his arms with a smile on her face, "Stupid!" There is also a perfume shop (women's bathhouse) in the women's house......" and closed her eyes as she spoke, "I'm tired today, let me rest for a while." ”

Seeing Concubine Ai close her eyes, with a hint of tiredness on her cheeks, Wanli's heart was filled with tenderness that he should not have as an emperor, and he couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke her cheeks, and then quietly raised his legs a little, so that Concubine Ai could sleep more comfortably in his arms...... In the huge Qianqing Palace, there is a faint scent of ambergris, which Wanli personally bought with the silver from the inner treasury, and he is usually reluctant to use it, so he only let the eunuchs below burn a handful when he was with Concubine De.
