Chapter 271: Winning People's Hearts

"Wu Hanlin, still don't accept the order to thank you?" Li Yuntian saw Wu Shaoqing's stunned face, so he smiled slightly and reminded him loudly. Pro, eye & fast, a large number of novels to read for free.

"Minister Wu Shaoqing is grateful." Wu Shaoqing came back to his senses at this time, and hurriedly kowtowed to the yellow silk in Li Yuntian's hand, and took the yellow silk with trembling hands, looking very excited, never expecting that Emperor Xuande would spare his life.

"Wu Hanlin, the lower official has prepared the carriage, and he will send you back." Li Yuntian smiled and helped Wu Shaoqing up and helped him walk towards the prison door.

The prison secretary hurriedly asked someone to bring the official robe and hat that Wu Shaoqing took off when he was in prison, and followed the two of them with a courteous face, serving carefully.

The person who can come out of the edict prison is either hard enough in the background or wants to soar, Wu Shaoqing's background is very clear, and there is no foundation, so it seems that he has won the favor of Emperor Xuande, otherwise he will not let Li Yuntian come to announce the decree, he naturally does not dare to slack off.

Wu Shaoqing's mind was groggy and blank, and Beizhen Fusi, who didn't know how to leave at all, was already sitting in Li Yuntian's carriage when he came back to his senses.

If it weren't for the fact that he was still wearing prison clothes, Wu Shaoqing would still think that his imprisonment was just a nightmare, and he felt palpitations when he thought about it, and his reputation for a lifetime was almost ruined.

However, who would have thought that his old friend for many years would pretend to deceive him, if it weren't for Zhao Yu pretending to be evil and angering him, how could he impulsively go to Chengtian Gate to kneel and admonish the palace? As a result, it almost ruined the emperor's big business.

Wu Shaoqing already knew that the reason why the Venerable Master Yuanxia was presiding over the fasting and blessing ceremony in the Imperial Garden was to cover up the death of Emperor Hongxi and buy time for the prince to enter Beijing.

Wu Shaoqing naturally knew the truth that the country should not be without a king for a day, which made him extremely self-reproachful and guilty, if he broke this fasting and blessing ceremony, then he would become a sinner of the Ming Dynasty.

Although Wu Shaoqing has a somewhat paranoid personality, he is not stupid, and during this time in the edict prison, he has already thought about the affairs of Zhang Wang and Zhao Yu clearly.

Although the two of them were going to Master Yuanxia on the surface, the actual target was Emperor Hong Xi, and they wanted to force Emperor Hong Xi to appear.

And once the news of Emperor Hongxi's death is made public, then the situation in the capital will be chaotic in an instant, King Han and King Zhao and Emperor Hongxi were all over the city for the throne, and they will definitely not let go of this golden opportunity, because the two are the most likely people in the Ming Dynasty to replace Zhu Zhanji on the throne.

Wu Shaoqing had a hunch that the person who secretly planned the matter between Zhang Wang and Zhao Yu was either King Han or King Zhao, and he couldn't think of anyone who would go to such a time to do such a thankless thing?

In fact, not only Wu Shaoqing, but when Emperor Hongxi's death was told to the world, many officials in the capital smelled something strange from Zhang Wang's incident, but this matter was too jealous and sensitive, and no one dared to say more, so as not to get into trouble.

"Lord Wu, the lower officials won't go in to bother." When he arrived at the courtyard where the Wu family lived, Li Yuntian did not enter the door, and after arching his hand at Wu Shaoqing with a smile, he got in the car and left.

At this time, it was dinner time, some neighbors were squatting in the alley with bowls and chatting, and when they saw Wu Shaoqing coming back, they surrounded him in surprise, no one thought that he could come out of the edict of Fusi in Jinyi Weibei Town, you must know that it is a place to eat people without spitting out bones.

Li Yuntian sat in the carriage and closed his eyes to recuperate, Wu Shaoqing was able to come out thanks to him in front of Empress Dowager Zhang and Emperor Xuande, although what Wu Shaoqing did this time was really hateful, but the court and the central government could not miss an upright and loyal person like him, and he used his impeachment to balance the relationship between all parties in the officialdom.

The reason why Emperor Yongle and Emperor Hongxi reused him and made him a scholar of the Hanlin Academy was that he valued his courage to admonish, so as to knock on all forces in the DPRK and China.

In addition, when Emperor Xuande first ascended to the throne, the situation was unstable, and it was the time when he needed to win over those clear streams in the court, and if he opened his eyes to Wu Shaoqing, who was convicted for his words, he would undoubtedly gain the support of those clear streams.

Not only Wu Shaoqing, but Li Yuntian also interceded with Li Qingzheng, who was assigned to Jiaozhi, in front of Emperor Xuande and Empress Dowager Zhang, which made the two dispel the idea of punishing Li Qingzheng.

Because Emperor Hong Xi was so angry with Li Qingzheng a few days before his death, there is a saying in the capital that Emperor Hong Xi was angry with Li Qingzheng.

In order to cater to Emperor Xuande and Empress Dowager Zhang, some officials have begun to impeach Li Qingzheng, accusing Li Qingzheng of playing fierce admonitions during Emperor Hongxi's serious illness, and then aggravating Emperor Hongxi's illness.

That's right, the counselor often talks about the innocence of the speaker, but if he plots to kill the emperor by admonishment, it is a big crime.

This made Li Qingzheng's family panic all day long, and many people in the capital avoided the Li family and drew a clear line with them so as not to be implicated.

At the end of August, Li Qingzheng's mother celebrated her 80th birthday, and the Li family did not dare to publicize it, nor did they invite guests, but only held two tables of banquets at home for the old lady's birthday.

However, to the surprise of the Li family, Li Yuntian came uninvited before the birthday banquet began, which not only brought a heavy birthday gift to the old lady, but also coaxed the old lady to be very happy, making the old lady happily celebrate her birthday.

Li Yuntian is regarded as a celebrity in front of Emperor Hong Xi and Empress Dowager Zhang, and his visit to Li Qingzheng's old mother naturally attracted the attention of the outside world, and after a little pondering, he realized that Li Qingzheng had escaped this catastrophe, otherwise Li Yuntian would have come to Li's house?

At this time, no officials were able to impeach Li Qingzheng, and those people in the capital who had drawn a clear line with the Li family also regained their former enthusiasm, which made the people of the Li family secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and they were very emotional about the warmth of human feelings and the cold state of the world.

Li Qingzheng received a letter from his family afterwards, and learned that Li Yuntian actually went to pay homage to his old mother's birthday, and coaxed the old mother to be happy, his eyes suddenly became complicated, and he sat there deep in thought, and was silent for a long time.

Li Qingzheng has always thought that Li Yuntian is a despicable villain, but now that he seems to be wrong, Li Yuntian is definitely responsible for the reason why Emperor Xuande and Empress Dowager Zhang let him go.

Since learning of the sudden death of Emperor Hong Xi, Li Qingzheng has been ready to be executed, and has fallen into deep self-blame.

He did not think that there was anything wrong with his remonstrances, and it was his duty to remind the king to be diligent and love the people.

Li Qingzheng regretted that he chose the wrong time to admonish, and should not have played such a fierce admonition during Emperor Hong Xi's illness, which would invisibly aggravate Emperor Hong Xi's illness, and it was a crime for the courtiers to deserve death, and he was not unjustly impeached.

Therefore, as long as Emperor Xuande wants Li Qingzheng's life, then Li Qingzheng will be beheaded for the crime of great rebellion, and will bear the infamy of being angry with Emperor Hongxi, and become a traitor who is a great rebel.

At noon one day at the end of September, a bustling street in the south of the capital was noisy with gongs and drums, and the sound of firecrackers was very lively.

After half a year of intense construction, the "Sifang Hall" planned by Li Yuntian was finally completed and officially opened to the public today.

Sifang Hall is an industry of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce in the capital, which is managed by the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce Beizhili Branch, and is an entertainment and leisure place integrating eating, drinking and playing, among which the most attractive place is that there is a magnificent and brilliant theater built inside.

The auditorium is divided into two floors, with a distinctive curved design, so as to make the best use of the interior space.

Among them, the audience seats on the first floor are ordinary seats, and the second floor is a separate box, specially prepared for those dignitaries and nobles in the capital.

In addition to the theater, there are also entertainment and leisure places such as **, restaurants and bathrooms in the Sifang Hall, so that guests can have fun inside without leaving home.

Amid the festive music, two rows of curvy young girls wearing tight red cheongsams stood in two rows in front of the Sifang Guild Hall, bowing in unison and welcoming guests with sweet voices whenever they arrived.

Since the cheongsam was a product of the early 20th century, it is now a completely new object for the people of the capital, which attracts many people on the street to come and watch, pointing to the girls with bumpy bodies and talking with great interest.

It is worth mentioning that although there are also girls who accompany customers to laugh, they are different from ** women, these girls and the Quartet Hall have signed an employment document, which belongs to the employees of the Quartet Hall and has personal freedom, and the two parties can terminate the contract in accordance with the provisions of the employment document.

Not only that, but the Sifang Guild only charges a certain amount of management fees to these joking girls, and all the money given by the guests for the night belongs to them.

This makes the girls full of energy, using all their resources to please the guests, and the Sifang Hall earns the guests those expenses in entertainment and pastimes such as **, restaurants and bathrooms.

Although the North Zhili Branch of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce has only been established in the capital for more than a year, it has firmly established a firm foothold in the capital, and the relationship with the political and business circles of the capital and the black and white circles is very harmonious.

Therefore, this time, many powerful businessmen in the capital came to support the opening of the Sifang Hall, including some heavyweight high-ranking officials and celebrities.

The reason why these heavyweights are here is naturally for Li Yuntian, the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce has risen in the capital in just one year, and its details are naturally concerned by those who have a heart in the capital.

After a check, everyone learned that the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce was originally Li Yuntian's industry, but Li Yuntian skillfully handed over this property to his two concubines' mothers to take care of, and then dissociated themselves from it.

For the Sifang Guild, if you want to create a piece of the sky in the capital, then you must have something with your own characteristics, which is the "treasure of the town" as the saying goes.

Therefore, in addition to the theater, the ** of the Sifang Hall is also unique, not only with dice, mahjong and pai gow, but also with a new thing - free cards, that is, playing cards.

Due to the lack of entertainment life in the Ming Dynasty, Li Yuntian has been tinkering with playing cards for a long time, constantly improving its production process, and finally made playing cards that meet his standards at the end of July, and then took them to the palace and dedicated them to the Queen Mother.

Empress Dowager Zhang soon fell in love with playing cards, and this new type of entertainment undoubtedly added a lot of fun to the boring court life.

So, Li Yuntian took the opportunity to ask the Empress Dowager Zhang to give the name of the playing card, and the Empress Dowager Zhang was happy and gave it the rather elegant and festive name of "Easy Card".

In order to welcome the opening of the Sifang Guild, Li Yuntian has already made a batch of high-quality playing cards, which will be a super killer feature to attract guests. One
