Chapter 31: Ridiculous Moon Age
The white-faced bearded one sneered coldly: "Being a parent? Under the whole world, it is not the king's minister! As a courtier, he puts himself at the level of the parents of the Son of Heaven, and when this true dragon is soberly aware of what he controls, how can he not regard it as a great shame? β
Yes, as far as Zhang Juzheng is concerned, he feels that everything he has done has a clear conscience, and he is teaching the emperor with the standard of cultivating sages and the mood of cultivating children, but in the emperor's heart, will he understand his painstaking efforts, or will he be completely disillusioned after learning about this qiΔ, and make him the image of the emperor who is strict, upright, and flawless in his heart?
Qi Jiguang was silent for a longer time this time, and after a long time, he said in a low voice: "How is Mr. Shuanglin's situation now?" β
The Mr. Shuanglin he asked was the great eunuch Feng Bao, Feng Bao, the word Yongting, and the number Shuanglin. It is precisely because of Feng Bao's strong support that Zhang Juzheng was able to dominate the dynasty alone, grasp the power and even surpass the emperor, and show his chest to repay the loss.
Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng are the two leaders of the inner court and the outer court, the two have always cooperated seamlessly, and now Zhang Juzheng is being liquidated, even if he, a famous general with great military achievements, is implicated and suspicious by the emperor, Feng Bao's situation is certainly not good.
In this regard, Qi Jiguang is not ignorant, Qi Jiguang is knowledgeable and changeable, but it is not the kind of strange thing that Hai Rui has rarely seen in the ages, he can create an immortal feat, in addition to his outstanding talents, he is also a man, otherwise he will be constrained everywhere, what else can he do.
In the capital, he also has his own ears and eyes to find out the news for him, he can't know Feng Bao's recent situation, but he still asked, asking about Feng Bao's current situation, but wanting to ask how much Feng Bao will be implicated, if Feng Bao can get out of the way, this matter is still under control.
The white-faced and bearded man naturally knew what he was asking, shook his head and said, "The emperor's heart is unpredictable. It's hard to say a lot now. β
This vague result was naturally not what Qi Jiguang wanted, and he stubbornly asked, "So what?" β
The person on the other side said slowly: "There is someone placed by the celebrant Zhang Cheng next to Gonggong Feng, this person is very hidden, and he knows many things about his father-in-law. It's a pity that we haven't found out who he is yet? β
Qi Jiguang's expression moved, and he said, "Mr. Shuanglin, but there is a handle in their hands?" β
The man on the other side said: "Yes! Zhang Cheng got some things and handed them to Yushi Li Zhi. The impeachment of Gonggong Feng by Li Zhishangshu is very detailed, including seven famous pianos, nine night pearls, five pairs of pearl curtains, 30,000 taels of gold, and 200,000 taels of silver given to Gonggong Feng by Mr. Taiyue, all of which are displayed in detail......"
Such a detailed number of jΓΉ. Obviously, only Feng Bao's henchmen could know about such an important matter, and their enemies already knew about it, and they also sued the Son of Heaven. Qi Jiguang's eyes shrank, and he couldn't speak anymore.
Zhang Juzheng is the first assistant, and the monthly salary is eighty-seven stones, which is about forty taels (equivalent to more than 30,000 yuan now) when converted into silver, so the income is not enough to feed his domestic servants, let alone others.
This incident will undoubtedly make Emperor Wanli's impression of Zhang Juzheng worse and his hatred deeper. And Feng Bao, who received such a generous gift from Zhang Juzheng alone, would the emperor still believe that he was loyal to himself? Will one of his slaves be allowed to accumulate such wealth?
Seeing Qi Jiguang's face change slightly, the white-faced bearded man hurriedly comforted: "Shao Bao doesn't have to worry too much, the Queen Mother still trusts Gonggong Feng very much." The Son of Heaven has just taken over the government now, and I don't think he will not ignore the thoughts of the Queen Mother. β
Qi Jiguang muttered: "I hope so." β
The white-faced bearded man said: "Today, Shaobao is about to go south, and our family was entrusted by Gonggong Feng to see Shaobao, just for this matter." As long as the father-in-law can make this matter a big deal. Then it's no big deal. As long as the father-in-law can stand firm, those who attack Mr. Taiyue must have some scruples, so that's it. The situation of underinsurance will also change. Yes, Shao Bao is going, and he can delay the trip all the way, just wait for Feng Gonggong to survive this pass, and he will clean up those white-eyed wolves with his back hand, maybe he will not wait for Shao Bao to rush to Guangzhou, and the will to transfer you back to Jizhou will come down. β
Qi Jiguang nodded silently. At this time, they didn't know that Zhang Whale, the chief eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch, had stabbed Feng Bao again after Zhang Cheng, and after Emperor Wanli had just returned to the palace after enjoying the lanterns, he had secretly played Feng Bao's twelve deadly sins.
The young and vigorous Emperor Wanli was furious, and finally decided to attack his "big companion", at this time Zhang Whale had already held the emperor's secret decree, and hurried to the East Factory to take over the post of East Factory Supervisor.
After the white-faced bearded man finished speaking, he suddenly said, "That woman, is she still here?" β
Qi Shaobao bowed slightly, the corners of his lips pursed a touch of meanness, and he said coldly: "This woman is ominous, it is better to ......" He palmed his palm like a knife, and slammed downward.
Qi Shaobao shook his head and said, "Mr. Taiyue passed away, what does it have to do with a woman." Although he has killed people in his life, he has never attacked a weak woman. β
The white-faced bearded man said: "Keep her, once the news comes out, it will damage the name of Mr. Taiyue." β
Qi Shaobao said lightly: "What about a good woman?" Qi Mou asked himself that he was not a perfect person or a saint, but he had a clear conscience about the court, the people, and the community! Mr. Taiyue is even more so, not to mention, this matter may not be hidden, as far as I know, the real cause of Mr. Taiyue's death is not alone. β
The white-faced bearded man sighed: "Shao Bao is really a woman's benevolence, that's it, in this case, Shao Bao will take her seriously, don't let her fall into the hands of the opponent, otherwise, she will be used by people with a heart to make a big fuss." β
Qi Shaobao nodded lightly, and soon, the white-faced bearded man put on his hat and quietly left the pavilion. Qi Shaobao stood on the steps, silently sent him away, and slowly turned back to the main hall.
In the corner of the courtyard, there was a small firewood house, and there was a faint fire in the crack of the door of the firewood house, Qi Shaobao didn't know that the weak woman he saved was curled up there at the moment, struggling to endure this cold winter night.
He didn't want to kill Shui Wu, it was based on the morality in his heart, how could he pay attention to that woman's every move if he was such a high-ranking person. Little did he know that his subordinates had taken their anger on the woman for Mr. Taiyue's death and what had happened to him, causing her to be so abused......

Not long after Ye Xiaotian returned to the pavilion, Kuai Peng sent him the news of Daddy Xia's family, and they stayed at the Peach Leaf Inn. So, early in the morning, Ye Xiaotian took Mao Wenzhi and Hua Yunfei to the Taoye Inn.
Zhan Ning'er knew what he was doing. She silently watched Ye Xiaotian leave, returned to her room, and took out the robe that she had painstakingly cut, the robe was almost finished, and only one side of the robe had not yet been sewn, but there was still something to give to others?
Last night, looking at Ye Xiaotian and Xia Yingying standing in the pavilion, Zhan Ning'er unconsciously shed sad tears. She didn't understand why she was crying, she didn't resent Yingying. She has never resented Ye Xiaotian, maybe what she really hates is just this foolish God.
Looking at what Ye Xiaotian did for Yingying, she only had envy, endless envy, how she wished that the woman standing in the moonlight was her, so happy and so sweet. It's a pity that it was just a sweet dream of hers, and she was just a spectator when she woke up. Stand under the pavilion and witness silently.
Tang Xianzu walked slowly in the post house, expanding his chest and hanging his throat from time to time. The city was full of firecrackers and fireworks until the fourth watch, when the air was still filled with the smell of gunsmoke. Suddenly, he saw Zhan Ning'er walk out of the door and throw a large bag into a garbage basket at the door.
"Miss Zhan is early!"
Tang Xianzu walked over with a smile. Zhan Ning'er was about to turn around and go back to the house, when she suddenly heard a call and looked up to see that it was him. He bowed lightly and said, "Brother Tang." β
Tang Xianzu said with a smile: "Miss Zhan got up really early, did you go to watch the lanterns last night?" Zhan Ning'er felt sour, if she had stayed in the post house honestly last night and hadn't gone to watch the lights, she wouldn't have been so sad and desperate.
Zhan Ning'er said in a low voice: "I've been there, I'll be back on the third watch, when will Brother Tang come back." β
Tang Xianzu said: "I went to some elders' houses to walk around, and when it was almost four watches, ......"
Speaking of this, Tang Xianzu suddenly saw the things in the basket, and just looked at it from a distance, he thought it was a burden, and then he saw that it was a lump of clothes, looking at the fabric, it was clearly a new work. Tang Xianzu said "Huh" and said, "This is what Miss Zhan did?" β
"Ahh No...... I ......"
Zhan Ning'er was a little panicked, she wanted to dodge to block Tang Xianzu's sight, but Tang Xianzu had already taken the first step, bent down to shake the robe away, and looked at it.
"Hah! This is the robe that Miss Zhan made for Brother Xiaotian? Tang Xianzu smiled and wanted to praise a few words, but his eyes fell on the centipede-like stitches, his eyebrows couldn't help jumping, and the beautiful words were really indescribable.
Zhan Ning'er was pretty and red, wanting to deny it, but she knew that she couldn't hide it from others, so she was ashamed, so she had to say to Ai Ai: "I...... I've never made clothes, so ......"
Tang Xianzu smiled: "It's nothing, it's nothing, the important thing is not the clothes, but the affection, why throw it away, do you plan to redo it?" β
Zhan Ning'er said gloomily: "I don't want to do it." I figured it out, maybe...... To miss is to miss. β
Tang Xianzu said: "This is giving up? As the saying goes, men chase women, and the mountains are separated. Women chase men, compartment yarn, where are you not worthy of him, girl Zhan? So ashamed of self-pity. β
Zhan Ning'er smiled bitterly: "I can't even make a piece of clothing." β
Tang Xianzu said: "What's this, he is also an official, do you still use you to cut and sew?" β
Tang Xianzu thought about it, suddenly rolled his eyes, and said to Zhan Ning'er: "You wait for me!" β
Tang Xianzu took the half-finished robe and left in a hurry, Zhan Ning'er didn't know what he was doing, so he had to stand at the door and wait, after a while, Tang Xianzu walked back with a smile, unfolded the robe, and said to Zhan Ning'er triumphantly: "Look." β
Zhan Ning'er looked at it fixedly, and couldn't help but be startled, only to see that there were bloody handprints everywhere on the robe, and she was shocked to look at. Zhan Ning'er said in surprise: "What is this?" β
Tang Xianzu squeezed his eyes at her, and whispered: "This is the chicken, duck and goose blood that I went to the kitchen to get, don't say that to Xiaotian, just say that you pierced your hand when making clothes." β
Zhan Ning'er said, "Uh...... I...... My Blood...... Dyeed? β
Tang Xianzu said proudly: "Not bad! Sew this half of the robe and give it to him at a good opportunity. This man, sometimes he has to be moved, and as soon as he is moved, he promises to ......"
β β β β β double the next day, ask for a monthly pass! β β β β β .
