At the end of April of the tenth year of Wanli, the news of the Shanxi Qin case reached the Beijing Division, and it took only 20 days from the arrival of the Qin mission to Datong to the settlement of all the dust. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

There are two theories about this, one is that the Qin Cha is capable, and the other is that the conspiracy has long been exposed, and the investigation of the Qin Cha case is just to speed up this process.

General Yu Siqiang defected to the Tartars, Yongsheng Bo Yu Yuangang committed suicide in fear of crime, although the palace deliberately suppressed it, but it was still rumored, talking about what Datong had become rotten, but this was also in everyone's expectation, Datong border town, there have always been many strange things.

Empress Dowager Li was in poor health in April, although the emperor often greeted him, and Feng Bao and others inquired about political affairs as usual, but Empress Dowager Li was obviously much more low-key, and someone with a heart calculated the time, which happened to be the time when Qin sent an urgent letter to Jingshi.

April 23, Cining Palace, the imperial city of Beijing.

"Niangniang, His Royal Highness King Lu has brought it!"

The Empress Dowager Cisheng Li was leaning on the bed and closing her eyes to recuperate, when she heard the splendid report of the female official next to her, she slowly spoke:

"You stay, everyone else goes out, let him in."

A few short commands, Jinxiu bowed down, not for a long time, the hall was much cleaner, King Lu walked in, to the position of the futon in front, King Lu knelt down directly to greet him.

Empress Dowager Li glanced at Jinxiu, Jinxiu hurriedly stepped forward to help Empress Dowager Li sit upright, and was quiet for a while, Empress Dowager Li sighed and said:

"Leave you in the palace, I thought it was the time for our mother and son to get together more, but unfortunately it was a pity that the evil villain outside took advantage of the situation to do evil, you are not young anymore, and it is always inconvenient to stay in the palace like this, go to Henan Weihui Mansion as soon as possible."

After finishing speaking, he was observing the reaction of King Lu Zhu Yiyi, King Lu kowtowed obediently, and said:

"Thank you for the arrangement of the queen mother, the son is old, and he also wants to go to Wei Hui's side as soon as possible, after all, it is the fief of the son of the son, and it is good to be familiar with it earlier, but the son wants to ask the queen mother for a favor, and the son wants to stay in the palace for a while longer."

Originally, the previous words, the Empress Dowager Li nodded, and when she heard the last request, the Empress Dowager Li's eyes suddenly became stern, staring at King Lu, but King Lu didn't raise his head, just knelt there and said:

July 22 is the queen mother's birthday, and the son wants to accompany the queen mother after her birthday, and asks the queen mother to agree."

Said quite sincerely, Empress Dowager Li's originally stern eyes gradually eased, looking at King Lu on the ground, who was almost as high as Wanli, Empress Dowager Li sighed and said:

"The mourning family agreed, your brother has grown up, and you have grown up too......"

After King Lu said this, he chatted a few words of greeting, and also kowtowed and retreated, as soon as King Lu left, the female official Jinxiu hesitated, and hurriedly stepped forward and said:

"Niangniang, long live the Lord over there to send the Qin case to Niangniang to see, it is to urge Niangniang, King Lu still wants to stay here......"

Being stared at by the stern eyes of the Empress Dowager Li, the female official Jinxiu immediately did not dare to say any more, and the Empress Dowager Li said slowly:

"He's a child, how can he have so much involved, didn't he check the place where he lives once, there is nothing, it's all the Yu family's mess that doesn't know what to do, what is the matter with Guan Yiyi."

The so-called Imperial City is actually a city, in addition to the places where the emperor, concubines and the queen mother live, the residence of the eunuchs, the halls where various ceremonies are held, the courtyards where they are stored, and so on.

In the southwest corner of the imperial city, the courtyard here is generally a place for seriously ill eunuchs to recuperate, of course, to put it harshly, this is actually a place to die.

However, now the status of eunuchs is getting higher and higher, and those who have a little bit of wealth and status can invite doctors from inside and outside the palace, and they can also get good medicine, and the place for recuperation here is deserted, and because there were many people who recuperated and died in the past, no one in Pingsuli was willing to come.

In fact, this place is cleaner than other places, because the palace is also afraid of the spread of epidemics, no matter whether there is anyone here, every month people come to sprinkle and sweep, come to splash lime disinfection, except for sprinkling and sweeping, other times are indeed very quiet.

In the quiet courtyard inside, there are several eunuchs today, the courtyard door is closed, the door of the house is also closed, two eunuchs are on duty in the courtyard, there are also two in the house, one station and one return, there is an incense case in the house, the incense case is lit on the incense case, there is a Buddha statue, and two candles are lit on the side of the Buddha statue.

The doors and windows were closed, no light could penetrate, and the two candles in the room did not play any role, and it seemed even more mysterious and mysterious, and the man standing cleared his throat and said in a solemn voice:

"In front of the Buddha, our family doesn't say anything, let's do a nameless white in the Jiuxuan Niangniang Temple outside the southern city, every day is like a beast, I don't know how long I can live, I believe the Buddha, this is the hard work, I entered the palace as an errand and did not say, but also got a position in charge, how did such a blessing come about, it is not the effectiveness of this Buddha...... Li Quan, you worked hard in Jingshi and Tianjin Wei, and now you have entered the palace, what is the reason? ”

The eunuch kneeling below was none other than Li Quan, and when he heard the question from above, he blinked his eyes and replied:

"It's those dozens of taels of gold......

"Think about it again, if you don't see Le Liu, if you don't follow him and believe in the Buddha, how can you have this opportunity to get gold, how can you enter the palace, why is Le Liu martyred, but you have the opportunity to get gold, and you can still come to Jingshi and be taken into the palace, is there no providence in this underworld?"

Li Quan, who was kneeling on the ground, shook his head and said vaguely:

"Really, if you hadn't been able to do this before......"

"This is all the miracle of the Sanyang Buddha, Li Quan, Le Liu preached the Dharma in Tianjin, in order to avoid the harm of annihilation, so the pseudo-Maitreya, in fact, you should worship the Sanyang Buddha."

Li Quan rubbed his eyes, looked at the Buddha statue on the incense table above, and said in a lost voice:

"It's really the same, oops, disrespectful, disrespectful, kid kowtows to the Buddha, kowtows to the Buddha!"

After kowtowing repeatedly, the eunuch on the side of the incense case spoke again:

"Since you believe in the Sanyang Sect, then we are close brothers and should take care of each other, do you know what benefits there are to worship this Sanyang Buddha in addition to blessings?"

Li Quan, who was below, naturally shook his head and didn't know, and the eunuch said:

"Although everyone has cut it, but we still want to do what we said, there are many people in the palace who have formed a pair of foods, but they have a fake phoenix, but they believe in the Sanyang Sect, but they can raise the root of life and death again, I won't tell you, our brothers, there are more than a dozen people because of their sincerity, they have grown up again, you look at so many palace maids in this palace, we have this ability, we are the emperor!!"

Nameless white self-castration into the palace, got food and clothing, and even has wealth and status, they are ** incomplete, but there is still ** spiritually, looking at the palace in the thousands of flowers, how can you not be tempted, the eunuch and the palace maid form a pair of food is just a vain, really to be able to grow again, pass on the ancestry, how can everyone not want to, people always have a glimmer of hope to grasp, believe it or not, there is no harm anyway, this promise can indeed demagogue.

After saying this, I saw that Li Quan's eyes seemed to glow when he was kneeling on the ground, and he said in a loud voice:

"The small ones are willing to believe, the small ones are willing to believe, the small ones used to worship the Buddha in good faith, and in the future, they will be desperate to the Buddha and seek all kinds of benefits."

The eunuch standing on the edge of the incense case nodded with a smile, stepped forward to help Li Quan up, and the two faced the Sanyang Buddha together, and the eunuch said:

"You are a sincere person, everyone sees it in their eyes, so this fortune first found you, although you have worshiped before, but after all, it is not to recite the name of Sanyang Buddha, even if you officially join the religion, but there are some laws to tell you, do not abide by these laws, even if the heart is useless, the Buddha will also drop anger, the first one, is not to say what you believe, Sanyang Buddha came to the world is a secret tradition, you know the heart to recite, but you must not tell outsiders, if you say it, it will be five thunders, festering all over......"

The room began to talk about the rules one by one, and the atmosphere was quite solemn.

The ups and downs of relatives don't care much about the Beijing Division, but Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant to the cabinet, fell ill again, which is a great event in the Beijing Division.

This time I recuperated at home for four days, and there was something wrong with the last court, between April and May, although the weather was warm, it was not too hot, but the court clothes worn by Zhang Ge when he went to the court were clearly the gauze and silk that were only worn in midsummer, what kind of disease did he have, could it be that the symptoms of the hot wind were more severe?

Although everyone didn't dare to ask directly, they were inquiring everywhere in private, and there was vague news that Zhang Ge Lao's illness seemed to be related to women, and everyone believed this statement, and Zhang Ge Lao's inner house had many concubines, which was also well-known in Beijing.

However, although he was sick, he was in good spirits, and everything was normal.

Li Youzi, a scholar of the cabinet and a secretary of the ministry, asked for a return to his hometown on the grounds that he was too old to hold an important position, and Emperor Wanli and Zhang Juzheng were retaining, but Li Youzi was resolute, and it seemed that it was irretrievable.

The other two cabinet scholars, Zhang Siwei and Shen Shixing of Zhang Juzheng's party, went to visit a lot more guests at once, and they were very lively, but this time, whether it was Shen Shixing or Zhang Siwei, they were all closed.

It was also during this time that when the Beijing camp was training, a military academy pointed at Xia Yuancheng, the deputy general of the Beijing camp, and scolded:

"Don't look at your majesty now, when that old man dies, you are nothing, sooner or later someone will come to you to settle accounts."

This military school was beaten with a hundred military sticks, and was directly beaten to death on the school field, and no one dared to persuade him, but sighed, this military general drank and gambled, and it was a good thing for his family to die like this.
