!

There are only three official holidays in the Ming Dynasty, the Wanshou Festival, the emperor's birthday, the winter solstice, one of the 24 solar terms, New Year's Day, the New Year's Day, and the New Year. ,!

These three days are also the days when the outside world worships the Ming court, and the emperor often sets up a big banquet on these three days to entertain the ministers.

On New Year's Day, not only the emperor wants to set up a banquet for the ministers, but the women of the three grades or more often enter the palace and feast with the nobles, generally speaking, it is headed by the queen of the lord of the six palaces, but on the New Year's Day of the fifteenth year of Wanli, the women suddenly found that the one who entertained them this time was the new imperial concubine Zheng, the phoenix crown and the crown were like that, although they smiled before speaking, but they were also very generous, and their manners were not out of order, and the queen Wang Xijie, who wiped her face white and made her cheeks like a bodhisattva, was very different.

This seems to indicate an extraordinary message, although the wives are from high and low backgrounds, but they are destined to be of three grades, under the influence of the master of the family, they still have some understanding of the changes in the court, and some are familiar with each other, and they can't help but make eye contact with each other...... Of course, the explanation of the imperial concubine Zheng is that the queen is sick and has been in trouble for many days, and she is only temporarily replaced.

A few days ago, the People's Daily and the Beijing Times broke out more than a dozen new official positions at the same time, it is said that the change of official positions in the imperial court is not an uncommon thing, and most of these dozen or so newly promoted official positions are military positions, but, damn it, every official who has served has a career history next to him, and the first one, surnamed Qin Mingliangyu, served as the avant-garde commander of Guangzhou.

Although Guangzhou is where the city is located, whether it is for the capital or for the south of the Yangtze River, it is a bit remote, and to be honest, no one cares about this location.

However, the resume next to him made the world uproar, because this person was only thirteen years old, just the daughter of an ordinary tribute student in Sichuan.

Thirteen-year-old woman, how dare she be the avant-garde commander of Sanpin Guangzhou? There's definitely something shady in this. That's what almost everyone in the world thinks.

At the beginning, one of the sons of the old king Xijue was impeached by Qingliu Shangshu, before him, Zhang Juzheng's three sons were all Jinshi, and Jiangling was powerful. Isn't there a clear stream to impeach Zhang Jiangling, let alone a Gongsheng's daughter as a three-product commander?

The impeachment recitals in those places couldn't reach the Beijing division for a while, but the Beijing officials were boiling, and the impeachment recitals of the cabinet were like snowflakes, which caught the cabinet elders off guard, and they scolded Uncle Zheng Guo for a while.

The People's Daily and the Beijing Times are both the property of Uncle Zheng, if there is no Uncle Guo's approval. Is that possible? It must be using carrier pigeons to transmit news and manipulate public opinion, can the elders not scold!

The jade carved pigeon unearthed from the tomb of the Yinxu woman in later generations is enough to prove that the pigeon culture of the Celestial Dynasty has a long history and is rare in the world. At that time, Guangdong was the most developed area of carrier pigeons in the Ming Dynasty, and there were historical records, as for the palace, the imperial horse supervisor was specialized in raising carrier pigeons. Can't you think of it?

It goes without saying that the cabinet has indeed snatched merit from Uncle Guo, but it has also made up for the benefits of Uncle Guo. Wouldn't it be good for everyone to have a good idea and make a fortune in a muffled voice! Your Uncle Zheng Guo broke up in two, and the world knew about it, so behaving? I don't treat the elders as a dish anymore!

However, the cabinet cannot expose this inside story, so this power-for-money transaction is too obvious, and the history books must not scold them to death.

In desperation, the cabinet could only resign en masse. At this time, it was the Wanli Emperor who carried the black pot to the cabinet, and rejected the cabinet's three resignations, so as to save the face of the cabinet.

In private, Wanli was actually very helpless, and once said to Concubine Zheng with a wry smile that the temper of a good official is too strong. I really have nothing to say.

But he is not very angry, Uncle Guo is like this, it proves that Uncle Guo is straightforward, there is no city government, such people look like loyal ministers and direct ministers at a glance, can he Zhu Yijun still tolerate loyal ministers and direct ministers?

The cabinet broke out such a shady scene, and the momentum was greatly reduced for a while, and there were good people in the Beijing city, and even jokingly called the cabinet a women's cabinet, and the status of women at this time was undoubtedly relatively low, and it is conceivable how much the prestige of the cabinet had fallen.

In short, people in the world are not stupid, but many people have guessed that it is estimated that the cabinet robbed Uncle Zheng Guo of his achievements in building roads, and he was afraid of being criticized, so he gave Uncle Guo a series of benefits, but Uncle Guo has a strong temperament, and took a thirteen-year-old lady to sit on the avant-garde commander of Zhengsanpin Guangzhou, which is the face of the naked fan cabinet!

The fifteenth year of Wanli came at this juncture, Zhu Yijun feasted the ministers, looking at the countless vassal envoys in the main hall, I was still very proud in my heart, what the previous emperors did not do, I did.

Therefore, he really ate a lot of wine, and the banquet was over, but he went to Concubine Zheng's Chengqian Palace, and had his own eunuch palace maid to serve, he took off the red over-the-shoulder cloud brocade peacock feather dragon robe, took the sobering tea and drank two sips, and teased Zhu Changling in swaddling clothes for a while, which let the grandmother hug it, and saw that the imperial concubine was still crackling and flipping the abacus, and couldn't help but say: "Ruotong, it's not too late for this account to be counted, let's talk to me first......

Concubine Zheng raised her head with a smile, "Yes, the emperor is in the sea, the four seas are flat, and all countries are coming to ......."

Her words immediately made Zhu Yijun's face red.

Indeed, Wanli just wants to hear similar words, now that Eastern and Western Mongolia is coming to the court, this is something that the previous emperors of the past dynasties did not do, plus many princes of the overseas Kyushu Xuanwei Division and Fusang, he is naturally proud, but when the imperial concubine said this, there was clearly a sense of ridicule, think about it, these things, all of them were helped by Uncle Zheng Guofan, but he acquiesced to the cabinet robbing Uncle Guo's merits, and his face must not look good.

A few little eunuchs changed the brazier for charcoal, although there is a dragon in Chengqian Palace, but the winter in Beijing is really cold, and the palace is huge, although there is a dragon, but also to the brazier to be warm, this charcoal fire is the best red Luo charcoal, the royal salary division out, this salary division, also used to be able to stop children crying at night, the power is better than the east factory, the west factory.

When the little eunuch opened the brazier to change the charcoal, the red charcoal fire in it reflected Wanli's face flickering, and when the little eunuch changed the charcoal and covered the top of the four beast furnaces, the light dimmed again.

At this time, the imperial concubine raised her hand and stretched her waist, seeing that Zhu Yijun's face was not good-looking, her eyes rolled slightly, and she understood, got up immediately, sat in Zhu Yijun's arms coquettishly, stretched out her arms to hook his neck and said: "I'm not complaining about you, since I first bumped into you in the garden." I recognized you as the most important person in my heart......"

She first said a few words about her acquaintance with Wanli, and Zhu Yijun suddenly remembered her first acquaintance, and her face softened, no matter what. The woman in his arms is the woman he loves the most, there is no doubt about it.

"You see, today I am taking the place of Sister Wang Xi'er to entertain the wife, and I have spent nearly 300,000 taels of silver on all kinds of rewards alone...... Just now I'm counting the charcoal money in the palace this year, not that I don't know. So far this year, the palace has shared 550,000 catties of red charcoal (the finest charcoal), 7.43 million catties of white charcoal, and 3.93 million gold of black charcoal...... In addition, the consumption of 15 catties per 100 catties of charcoal adds up to a total of 26.86 million catties of charcoal this year......"

The imperial concubine wrenched her fingers to settle accounts for Wanli, and the two thousand six million eight hundred thousand catties suddenly frightened Wanli. "So much?"

Strangely stretched out his hand and pointed at Wanli's forehead, and the imperial concubine said, "So, you." is just a hand-shaking uncle, thinking about what the four seas are flat all day long, all countries come to the court, there is no silver, and the charcoal can't be burned, what kind of flat are you Zhu Yijunping? ”

I have to say that the imperial concubine is skillful in speaking, these words made Wanli feel guilty on his face, and he couldn't help but catch the imperial concubine's soft, and gently stroked it and said: "I have treated your Zheng family badly......"

"That's stupid again!" Concubine Zheng couldn't help but glance at him, "I, Zheng Ruotong, am a member of your Zhu family." Death, it's also the ghost of your Zhu family, I'm just saying, when you are out and you are a heavenly khan, think more about your Ruotong, who is wrenching his fingers to save money for your family! ”

This sentence was very vague and patted Wanli's ass. Who has used the word Tian Khan? A generation of Ming Jun Tang Taizong, can Wanli not like to hear this sentence? couldn't help but wrap his arms around, and hugged the imperial concubine tightly in his arms, "Ruotong, you are my eldest grandson and queen Xian......" He said, rubbing the imperial concubine's waist with both hands, the tentacles were slippery and greasy, and he felt full of hands, and his heart suddenly wanted to move, and he couldn't help but say: "Ruotong, you are getting more and more plump." ”

"Zhu Yijun, are you alluding to me being obese?" The imperial concubine's apricot eyes suddenly widened, "Hmph! No wonder you didn't come to my palace in the past two days, tell me, who did you look at? ”

As soon as Wanli ate the imperial concubine and drank it, he immediately smiled bitterly, "I have been so busy that I can't sleep well in the past two days, where do I have the mind to ......" But then I saw that the concubine's face was not good-looking, so I immediately changed my words, and said with a salivating face: "Besides, Ruotong, you are my favorite woman, and others are like chickens and dogs in my eyes, how can I look ......"

When a waiting eunuch heard this, he couldn't help but bow his head, and said in his heart, Long Live Lord really doesn't have a trace of long live in front of the imperial concubine, but it is similar to ordinary market couples.

The husband and wife talked for a while, but they couldn't see much royal bearing, it was indeed like the eunuch next to him, similar to ordinary market couples, it can be seen that the imperial concubine has extraordinary means.

"Ruotong, you say, how to solve the matter of the good official?" Wanli couldn't help but bring the matter of Uncle Guo to discuss with the imperial concubine, "He slapped the cabinet in the face this time, so that I had to bear the boss's black pot for the cabinet." ”

The imperial concubine was also a little worried when she heard this, "He used a carrier pigeon to send a letter, and refused to accept the name you gave to the child in the womb of the third lady, saying, ......it's not good" The foreign minister fornicated with the harem, in terms of the Ming law, it was a capital crime, even if the imperial concubine and the uncle were sisters and brothers, it was general, but the imperial concubine said this clearly, but it was equivalent to telling Wanli that I had correspondence with the outside, which eliminated a word.

Wanli only smiled bitterly, disgusted that the name given by the emperor was not good and asked for a change, counting the dynasties and dynasties, I am afraid that it will be my brother-in-law.

The two of them were scratching their heads, and the curtain at the entrance of the hall was lifted, and someone hurried in from outside, and there was a series of footsteps.

The law in the palace is strict, and there are strict rules for every move, Wanli was just about to scold, when he heard a stack of shouts outside the curtain of the small warm pavilion: "Imperial Concubine Niangniang, congratulations to the Imperial Concubine Niangniang, congratulations to the Imperial Concubine Niangniang, the third lady Zhong Jin Hatun was born, and he is a white and chubby child...... "It was Xiao Douzi outside, although it was cold, but he was sweating profusely, and his speech was even more incoherent, but at this time, where did Wanli and the imperial concubine care about this.

Sanniangzi gave birth to the son of Uncle Zheng Guo, that is, Wanli's own nephew, the lord of Western Mongolia in the future, whether it is from public or private terms, Wanli must pay great attention to it. If not, why would he give the country surname, a sixteen-character hereditary pedigree, and a side character of the same age as his prince. Isn't it to tell the world that Mongolia is also the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Concubine Zheng jumped up immediately, "Little Douzi, come in and talk." ”

Here, Concubine Zheng called in Xiao Douzi to ask carefully, and Wanli began to think about how to celebrate, the third lady is the lord of Western Mongolia, and this dignity is definitely wanted. In addition, it is his nephew, this is not an ordinary event, to put it mildly, this is more important than the birth of an ordinary prince, after all, the birth of an ordinary prince can only show that the royal blood is extended, and it sounds noble and actually incomparable with the future lord of Western Mongolia.

However, Wanli is not too out of line, which is easy for the ministers to misunderstand. Therefore, we must always think of a proper way.

To his biological father?

Wanli shook his head, it's not proper, he said that now the obedient official has the title of Marquis of Jinghai. Even if it doesn't, I'm afraid it will be criticized by the ministers.

Giving silver?

Wanli shook his head again, this is not appropriate, his silver is all earned by good officials, how much can he give? If there is less, it will not show decency, and if there is more, he will also be embarrassed, and he will give him silver when he sees the good officials, but in fact, he is an emperor. Silver is never enough to spend, not to mention anything else, the Yellow River is diverted, there is a flood, and the ministers will collectively ask you to send internal silk, for a huge central country. You are the Iron Buddha, how many nails can you grind?

He paced back and forth, not thinking of a good idea, but at this time, the imperial concubine shouted, asking someone to wait for her to put on her dress, and she must go to visit the third lady immediately.

Wanli grabbed the imperial concubine and said pitifully: "Ruotong, you give me an idea, this, this, what should I do?" ”

What he said was unclear, but Zheng Ruotong understood, and glanced at it at the moment, "It's so stupid, you want me to teach you such a thing as having fun with the people?" Little Douzi, hurry up and lead the way. She said and hurriedly left the Chengqian Palace to visit the third lady.

Wanli was mentioned by her like this, and her heart suddenly lit up, and she immediately shouted: "Go and call Zhang Cheng to me." Immediately a eunuch went.

Suddenly, Zhang Cheng, the eunuch of the palm print, hurriedly came in, Zhang Cheng was originally a eunuch with a pen, Zhang Hong knelt and died in front of the palace of the Empress Dowager Rensheng, he was promoted to a eunuch with a palm print, and now he can be said to be the first eunuch.

"Long live the lord, the slave and maid also want to congratulate the long live lord." Zhang Cheng has been with Wanli since he was a child, and he still knows Wanli's mind quite well.

"Zhang Ban! You have drawn up a decree for me. Wanli was said by Zhang Cheng, his face was full of smiles, Zhang Cheng agreed, and hurriedly spread paper and grinding ink next to him, and then Wanli said: "Lord, my ancestor Emperor Gao is the beginning of the world, the law is clear, and the emperors of all dynasties are the same. Since the eleventh day of the first month, it has given the Lantern Festival holiday for ten days. Hundreds of officials do not participate in the court, there are urgent matters and this seal into the punishment, listen to the military and civilians to drink for fun, the soldiers and horses of the five cities relax the night ban, and take the order.

Zhang Cheng is also inside, and if he is a Hanlin bachelor in the eunuch, his chest is really not bad, and he can also get his hands on a single stroke, and the pen is a dragon and snake, and he immediately writes it down heartily.

Wanli looked down twice, nodded with satisfaction, although he didn't mention the birth of the third lady of Mongolia, but it was decent not to mention it, it was not good to mention it, it was easy to cause gossip in the market, who is this dignity for? To the third lady, as long as the third lady knows, decency will arrive, so the more he looks at it, the more proud he becomes, and immediately said: "Use the treasure!" Let the Ministry of Rites discuss it. ”

Zhang Cheng, as the eunuch who held the seal of the celebrant supervisor, immediately stamped the seal, and this edict was released.

On the second day, the Ministry of Rites quickly dealt with this edict and issued it, and immediately the whole city of Beijing knew that Long Live Lord wanted to have fun with the people, and for a while, the city was full of joy and thunder. This is the moment of the New Year, who doesn't want to be lively, but Daming has a curfew, and when you walk at night, you have to hit the board, and now there is a ten-day curfew, can the people be unhappy!

As for the court, there is no secret, and most of them know it, this is because the Mongolian three ladies gave birth to a son, and this edict was issued today.

For a while, people of insight such as Gu Xiancheng and Xingzhi were worried, who didn't know that the seed in the belly of the Mongolian Sanniang was Uncle Zheng Guo's, and now he really gave birth to a son, and Uncle Zheng's power will definitely be irrepressible in the future.

What's more, on New Year's Day, the imperial concubine Zheng replaced the queen to entertain the wife, and this matter has been spread to the outer court, what does this mean? said that the imperial concubine coveted the position of the queen and couldn't wait.

Therefore, the call for the Qing Stream to invite the heir of the Yuan Yuan rang out again.

This time, Yu Shenxing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, took the lead, and led the ministers to ask for the national capital at the court meeting, and established the heir as the prince of the East Palace.

Angry, the order is taken.

On the second day, the auxiliary ministers Shen Shixing, Wang Xijue, Xu Guo, and Wang Jiaping asked for the establishment of the East Palace and asked Yu Jiao.

The eldest son of the emperor is particularly weak, and he will be used when he grows stronger.

However, all this has nothing to do with the good official, Uncle Guo has already made up his mind in Guangzhou, I will do what I want to do, as for the matter of the East Palace, who do you love, **What is that heart doing! This is a headache for Wanli.
