Chapter 595 is gradually complete

Eunuchs get their jobs, they always like to go out of the palace to show off their wealth, they are the lowest slaves and maids in the palace, and there are layers of nobles above, they are very depressed, go out of the palace and walk around, everyone knows that they are on an errand in the palace, polite flattery, so that the eunuchs have great satisfaction in their hearts. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

For this reason, sometimes the eunuchs do a good job, and the reward given above is also out of the palace.

Li Quan, a eunuch who entered the palace for less than two months, was loyal and reliable, diligent and diligent, and was promoted to the manager of the wing of the Zhongji Palace.

Once the lowly person rides on the person, he immediately becomes arrogant, and many eunuchs in the palace are extremely respectful when doing things below, and they are low-voiced, and as soon as they are promoted, they not only do not sympathize with people who are in the same situation as themselves in the past, but they are even more oppressive.

The newly promoted Li Quan is different, he worked diligently before he was promoted, he was polite and enthusiastic to the people around him, and after he was promoted, he was also diligent, and his attitude remained unchanged.

To have such an honest performance in the palace, the boss attaches great importance to it, and the promotion has been promoted, and the benefits on weekdays have to be given to some extent.

Naturally, there are no rich rewards, but they just arrange for him to go out of the palace to buy something, such an errand is to distract his mind, and second, to get some oil and water.

The palace was depressed and nervous, and when he walked out of the palace gate, the whole person felt a lot more relaxed, Li Quan was also relaxed, he was accompanied by a little eunuch who helped to take things, and the two of them traveled around and were very happy.

Rich and powerful eunuchs don't lack anything, Li Quan and others who come out to wander around, go to a restaurant to eat and drink when they have more money, and buy some exquisite snacks at a dim sum shop when they have less money.

There is a food supervisor in the palace, but this imperial kitchen is for the nobles and eunuchs with status, palace maids to prepare food, ordinary eunuchs are coarse tea and light rice, can go to the delicious restaurant to eat, it is also the turn to go to the south of the city to be on duty, the eunuchs in other places are very lacking mouths, out of the palace are rushing to eat.

Because of this, near the palace, there are slightly more dim sum shops and small restaurants than elsewhere, and Li Quan took less when he withdrew the silver in the palace, and he didn't know the price when he came out, so he bought a few utensils, and he had more than 200 yuan in his hand.

This money is in the restaurant under the Jingshi, that is, one person eats well, it is difficult to eat, two people don't think about eating well, they have to put it on others, call the followers back first, and spend money themselves, Li Quan is a simple person, he can't do such a thing, more than 200 Wen can buy some exquisite dim sum, and simply go to a dim sum shop.

The little eunuch is fifteen or sixteen years old this year, he doesn't know anything, and some of them are very happy to eat, so he followed Li Quan to the door of a dim sum shop, and Li Quan gave him an order to wait outside with something.

Maybe when you buy something, you have to deduct some into your pocket, the little eunuch still understands this rule, take things and wait outside.

Li Quan walked into the shop, the guy on the counter hurriedly greeted him attentively, Li Quan looked left and right, and said:

"Do you have ham shortbread with dried shrimp here?"

The ham shortbread was mixed with dried shrimp, which was really weird, the guy was stunned there, Li Quan looked back, and said:

"It must be the golden hook prawn rice produced by Tianjin Wei, otherwise the taste will not be thick......"

The man reacted immediately, with a smile on his face, put the weighing pan on the table, put a piece of straw paper in the weighing pan, and began to open the snack cabinet to get the snacks.

The guy didn't move fast, and he couldn't find the clip, he tossed there for a long time, Li Quan stared at the piece of straw paper in the weighing pan, looked at the tears and flowed down, stretched out his hand to wipe a few handfuls and couldn't stop, the guy patted his head, and said with a smile:

"This shortbread has a lot of oil, this straw paper eats a lot of oil, my father-in-law will wait a while, and the small one will come over with two pieces of paper."

As he spoke, he took out the paper in the weighing pan and replaced it with two, then put on the shortbread and began to weigh it, then wrapped it in oiled paper, took the money and handed it to Li Quan, and said with a smile:

"If my father-in-law eats well, please come to the shop again, and the shop will definitely give my father-in-law a discount and a lot of discounts."

Li Quan nodded, turned around and walked out with a snack, and when he arrived at the door, he opened the paper bag and let the little eunuch take it for himself, and he took out a piece himself.

"Ouch, there is meat and shrimp in this shortbread, it's so delicious, Gonggong Li will really buy it...... Grandpa Li, why are you crying......? ”

Over there, Li Quan took out a piece of shortbread and put it in his mouth and took a bite, the aroma of the ham, the fresh fragrance of the shrimp and the crispiness of the shortbread, a very excellent taste, took a bite but couldn't help crying, heard the little eunuch ask, was stunned and choked and replied:

"In the past, when I was wandering outside the palace, I was able to eat such delicious things, and now I can eat this, which is really a blessing from my previous life, thanks to entering the palace"

This was said sincerely, and the little eunuch also shed a few tears.

After returning to the palace in the evening, Li Quan did his errands as usual, but the little eunuch who accompanied him out was found and asked who he had seen and what he had done when he left the palace during the day.

"....... Ningxia Lingzhou guards the land army of the Thousand Households Ma Jing led the people to rebel, killed the general Xu Ruji, slaughtered the whole family, the governor Jin Yinghuai sent troops to exterminate it, killed more than 30 thieves, and arrested 25 people......"

In the Wenyuan Pavilion, the Wanli Emperor sat on his seat, Zhang Siwei read the excerpts aloud there, and the cabinet on May 16 of Wanli was a little colder than usual.

Zhang Juzheng, who has been in the first place under the left of the Wanli Emperor, has an empty seat, and Li Youzi, a scholar of the cabinet and a secretary of the ministry, has been allowed to give office, Li Youzi may have been preparing for returning to his hometown for a long time, and the will of the palace came down, he expressed his gratitude, and then took the whole family out of Beijing to return to his hometown the next day.

In other words, among today's cabinet scholars, only Zhang Siwei, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Shen Shixing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, are there.

After reading the excerpt, Zhang Siwei bowed down and said:

"Your Majesty, Governor Jin Yinghuai should deal with it properly, he should be meritorious, and the soldiers who quell the chaos will be loyal and hard, and they should be rewarded, please make a decision."

Emperor Wanli, who was sitting in his seat, nodded, with a little irritability in his expression, and said:

"According to the previous rules, the reward should be rewarded, and the investigation should be investigated, but the widow heard that Ma Jing instigated the soldiers to rebel because Xu Ruji was too badly deducted?"

Zhang Siwei paused, bowed down and said:

"Your Majesty, such matters have not been mentioned in Ningxia's official documents, and the minister does not dare to speak falsely."

"In March, the soldiers of the eastern and western battalions in Hangzhou mutinied, also because of the deduction of military salaries, and in April, there was this Ningxia ...... The widow doesn't understand, almost sixty percent of the annual wealth is spent on the border town, and eighty percent is used in many times, and so much silver is given, why do you have to deduct and make so many things. ”

In March of this year, the governor of Zhejiang reduced the military salary of the Hangzhou garrison, directly deducted 30%, the soldiers of Hangzhou mutinied, and the governor was impeached, and the imperial court removed the governor for questioning, and then everything remained unchanged.

The matter was not big, and it was calmed down within seven days, but it was the first large-scale mutiny of soldiers after Wanli ascended the throne, which made Wanli very uncomfortable.

Complaining a few words, looking at Zhang Siwei who was still there, Emperor Wanli was also a little discouraged in his heart, deducting military salaries is like this everywhere in the world, even if he wants to change, he can't move immediately, Emperor Wanli calmed down and asked:

"Shen Shixing, yesterday ** went to Mr. Zhang's house to visit the widow, how is Mr. Zhang's condition?"

After asking this sentence, Wenyuan Pavilion seemed to be quieter, everyone knew the news, but everyone wanted to know more about Zhang Juzheng's condition.

Hearing the question, Shen Shixing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who had been standing silently on the side, stepped forward, bowed down and said:

"Back to Your Majesty, when the minister went to Zhang Ge's old mansion, Zhang Ge was supported by the elder in the main hall to thank him, and the minister looked at Zhang Ge's old spirits, but his legs and feet were a little inconvenient, and his eyes were bloodshot, which was indeed the hot poison symptoms that the imperial doctor said."

After saying a few words, he looked at the expression of Emperor Wanli, and now the emperor was listening attentively, sorted out his thoughts in his head, and said:

"The Tai Hospital sent by His Majesty is telling the minister in Zhang Ge Lao's mansion that Ge Lao seems to be overly hot, and he has been taking yang-boosting medicine all year round, accumulating heat poison, and this disease is quite troublesome to regulate."

The imperial doctor often speaks a lot of hidden words, which is "quite troublesome to regulate" in the ears of everyone, which is not a good omen.

Everyone understood this, and their faces made a heavy look, but whether it was a cabinet minister or a eunuch, they all wanted to know Emperor Wanli's expression and reaction.

Emperor Wanli's face was blank, and after Shen Shixing finished speaking, he was silent for a while before he spoke:

"Mr. Zhang has worked too hard for state affairs...... Zhang Cheng transferred some good medicinal materials and supplements from the palace to Mr. Zhang, and told Mr. Zhang's family that if there are any requirements for medicine, even if they open their mouths, they will be organized by the palace. ”

Zhang Cheng, who was standing on the other side, bowed in response, and Emperor Wanli groaned, and then spoke:

"Now that there are only two people in the cabinet, how can the central land be so lacking, and the widow was with ...... last night Decree that Liang Menglong, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and the secretary of the Ministry of Works, Zeng Shengwu will enter the cabinet to discuss it."

The addition of two cabinet scholars, this is not a trivial matter, Emperor Wanli said vaguely, but the people below all know that these two people were selected by the Empress Dowager Cisheng, Zhang Siwei's face froze, but Shen Shixing on the side knelt down first to receive the decree, and he could only kneel down......

At the time of the court meeting, in the duty room of the eunuch Lin Shulu, the eunuch of the imperial horse supervisor, Shuangxi said with some excitement:

"Master, I got the news this morning, that man won't live for more than two months"

“…… Will our family survive past two months? ”

Lin Shulu had no joy or sorrow on his face, and said indifferently-
