Xu Xianchun saw Mao Cheng's left and right embarrassed, and heard the faint screams of Jing Yang Qiao in the distance, and his heart blossomed, how could he miss this excellent opportunity to fall into the well.

He said in a fierce voice: "Niangniang, Qian Qianyi's actions today have become clear, these people have formed a party for personal gain, and they are connected together to wantonly slander the emperor!" Please give an order to thoroughly investigate Mao Cheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Qian Qianyi, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites! ”

There must be parties and factions, there are many factions in this court, who hasn't formed a party for personal gain? This is all a trivial matter, but it is a little difficult to persecute the Queen Mother in tandem, and Jing Yangqiao, who has no door on his lips.

Seeing that the hat was about to be buckled on his head, Mao Cheng was an old minister after all, and he was steady, but Qian Qianyi was anxious first, and excused himself: "Don't spew blood!" It's just a small gathering, a few drinks, and a few lines of poetry to express your feelings! ”

Finished! Mao Cheng couldn't help shaking his head in his heart, Qian Qianyi likes to talk and argue with people on weekdays, but he never expected that this surnamed Qian would actually tell the truth.

Seeing that Mao Cheng's face was pale, Xu Xianchun and Jiang Bin gloated, Qian Qianyi sighed in his heart, and his mind went blank in an instant.

But Jiang Yuyan's voice had already sounded: "Qian Qianyi! Mao Cheng! The first emperor died less than half a decade, so you will have a private banquet! also slandered the first emperor in the court! Do you still have the word 'gentleman' in your heart?! ”

Qian Shilang, whose eyes were straight, realized what a childish mistake he had made! The emperor has to mourn when he dies, this is the truth that the three-year-old children of the Ming Dynasty know!

In their hearts, Zhu Houzhao is a complete faint monarch and a stubborn man, and he is not worthy of their virtuous ministers to mourn. But the premise of all this is that the new emperor completely denied the previous emperor, and the court unanimously agreed that his virtue was not worthy, and the funeral could be dealt with.

But even so, these ministers still have to act on the surface, after all, the Son of Heaven has died, and the world is vegetarian.

Now, the new emperor is still in infancy, and the queen mother is listening to the government, expecting a wife to completely deny her husband.

Therefore, in the case of only three people in the cabinet and a serious absence, Qian Qianyi, together with Mao Cheng and a group of officials, intended to give Zhu Houzhao a few hats, thinking that the young and inexperienced Queen Mother would be forced by the situation, so she bowed her head, and such a reputation was enough to lift them into the cabinet.

Everything was fine, but unfortunately something went wrong with Jing Yangqiao. Mao Cheng led Qian Qianyi and other officials, knelt on the court, and sighed silently in his heart, he knew that it was useless to argue, so he could only bow his head and say: "Please forgive Niangniang." ”

The faces of the other civil officials who were not involved in the court were very strange, how could there be so many turns, eh, poor Mao Shangshu, a handful of age, full of gorgeous hair, and still have to admit his mistake to a little woman.

At the beginning, the vigorous Right Capital Yushi Yu Ji was even more eager to shrink into the innermost, so that no one else could look at him. In his heart, he greeted Qian Qianyi's whole family, he originally thought that the surname Qian was a direct minister, and the suggestions he played were also very kind to him, so he helped.

Unexpectedly, there are so many twists and turns in this, but fortunately, he has been an official for many years and has always been alert, otherwise he would really be on the road.

Jiang Yuyan's face was cold, and her red lips opened lightly: "During the mourning period, gather people to feast and drink, connect in private, and mourn the family to see that your sage books have been read into the dog's stomach!" ”

She looked at Yang Yiqing, the eldest of the ministers, and said, "Yang Qing's family is highly respected, you say, what should be done with these few people who have no monarch and father." ”

Yang Yiqing is not tall, has the most common goatee, and has a bright spirit, he is used to seeing officialdom struggles, and he knows very well what these people want to do, he and Zhu Houzhao are also teachers and friends, and they are not like other civil officials, relying on some specious news to judge the emperor's virtue.

After a little muse, he said: "The dynasty rules the world with filial piety, and the common people of the people can wear plain clothes and eat vegetarian food for the death of the emperor; But Mao Cheng is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Qian Qianyi is the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, one is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and the other is also the pillar of the Ministry of Rites, but he made a drink during the national funeral, if it is easily revealed, what will the people of the world say? Is it 'rudeness of the Ministry of Rites', or is it that we officials protect each other and have forgotten the teachings of the saints. ”

Yang Yiqing turned sideways slightly, looking at these silent officials, he felt helpless in his heart, he was actually tired of the intrigue of officials, and returned to his hometown early, but he didn't expect the emperor to go at a young age, and gave him a decree to make him an auxiliary minister.

Although Yang Yiqing was born in the imperial examination, he was different from ordinary literati who could not carry his hands on his shoulders, he was familiar with martial arts, and after entering politics, he was mostly responsible for military affairs, and his way of looking at and dealing with problems was not quite the same as that of ordinary civilian officials. This is also the reason why Zhu Houzhao is particularly blue-eyed.

When an official with resources, backers and connections has a problem, his first reaction is to take himself out and then see if the problem is tricky, and if it is too widespread, he will solve the person who raised the problem, and then cover up the problem. In order to protect their official position, and the interests of the offender and the group behind him.

Yang Yiqing is not so troublesome, his idea is that solving the problem is the most appropriate way to deal with it. He deliberately said that the consequences were extremely serious, that is, he wanted to completely knock these political enemies who caused trouble to the ground.

This is why Mao Cheng and Qian Qianyi can entangle a large number of officials.

The three elders, Mao Ji is a northerner, he does not deal with them geographically, and his performance after the fall of Yang Tinghe is extremely poor, and he is a dou who can't be helped;

Although Yang Yiqing has a good official reputation, and even made great efforts before and after the eradication of Liu Jin, he will not unite his friends from the root;

And Wang Qiong is too close to the eagle dog, and he is still a radical and abnormal hawk, and the Qingliu Group rejects him very much.

None of the entire cabinet can be relied on by the southern faction, and it is no wonder that they are in a hurry.

Therefore, the old minister advocated that these people should be severely punished, and drinking and having fun during the state funeral is no different from uncivilized beasts! It should be dismissed from office first, handed over to the three legal divisions for interrogation of his comrades, and advocated, based on his confession, before he is convicted! Yang Yiqing didn't care about his back, which was hot from the many eyes, and his words were very firm.

Mao Ji also arched his hand and said: "Niangniang, what Yang Gong said is very true, this matter should indeed be severely punished." ”

Wang Qiong, who was tall and had a national character face, followed: "The minister seconded the proposal, and he should wear brocade clothes to strictly investigate such phenomena and rectify the unhealthy trends in the court and the people!" ”

Jiang Yuyan nodded, and finally saw the demeanor of Master Yang in Zhu Houzhao's mouth. She looked at the ministers kneeling in the court, and said coldly: "According to what Yang Qing's family and Wang Qing's family said." stripped these people's official uniforms and sent them to the prison of the Criminal Department, and the three law divisions and brocade guards were tried, and the mourning family wanted to know what they were planning? ”

The Han generals who got the order quickly dragged Mao Cheng and Qian Qianyi, Lu Cang, Wang Zhun, Xie Xuelong, Xue Wenzhou, Taichang Shaoqing Ruan Dacheng and more than a dozen other people down.

The hearts of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were naturally turbulent, but now no one wants to come out and touch the mold again.

After that, Jiang Yuyan snorted coldly and said, "Retreat," then got up and threw off his sleeves and left.

Seeing Jiang Yuyan leaving, many people shook their heads and sighed, and some whispered softly.

The general content is: "The Queen Mother is so strict, it will be difficult in the future." ”

"Yes, yes, Qian Gong has entered the Three Law Division, do we have to think of a way."

"Forget it, Jinyi Wei will be interrogated together, it's not good to interfere, I'm waiting for a few days."

"I didn't expect the current Queen Mother to be a vulgar martial artist......"

Jing Yangqiao was not killed in the end, but unfortunately after the person came down, he couldn't stop vomiting blood, it should not be a few days.

As soon as she left Fengtianmen, Jiang Yuyan suddenly stopped and said to Yang Jinshui: "You go, please invite Jiang Bin and Xu Xianchun to Cining Palace, the mourning family has something to explain to them." ”

Yang Jinshui bowed his head and responded: "The slave maid will go and invite." ”

Zhu Zaiyuan succeeded to the throne as the new emperor and was supposed to live in the Qianqing Palace, but he was still a baby, and Jiang Yuyan was not worried that he was too far away, so he stayed in Cining Palace and was taken care of by his nurse.

Jiang Bin and Xu Xianchun came quickly, and Jiang Yuyan, who changed into the civilian clothes she wore every day, casually pointed to the seat under her head, and said, "Let's do it first." ”

took another brightly colored rattle and teased Zhu Zaiyuan who was lying in the crib.

After a while, he turned his head to look at Jiang Bin, and praised with a smile: "When the imperial gate listened to the government, Jiang Qing's clever words really surprised the mourning family. ”

Jiang Bin thought to himself, if it weren't for the fact that there was no one under your command Jiang Yuyan, where would it be my turn to come out and argue with some people who specialize in playing tricks, if I don't save myself, will there be a good end?

said on his lips: "Niangniang has a good reputation, and it is the duty of the subordinates to solve problems for Niangniang." ”

Xu Xianchun looked at this scene and felt a big alarm in his heart, but there was nothing he could do, Jiang Bin was not a straw bag, if he was dedicated to doing things for the Queen Mother, he would definitely not be as good as Jiang Bin, the commander of the brocade guards.

Jiang Yuyan was very satisfied with Jiang Bin's attitude, smiled a lot more relaxed, and said: "The mourning family doesn't go around the bend anymore, and there are a few things to explain when I call the two of you over." ”

The two of them arched their hands together: "Please give me orders." ”

Jiang Yuyan nodded slightly, and her expression gradually became serious: "This first thing is the matter of inspecting the people that Wang Qiong just talked about, hmph, in fact, the people are secondary, ordinary people may not be able to eat meat for two or three days, and the mourning family wants you to strictly investigate the style of officials and scholars during the national funeral. ”

"Your Ministers understand." This is a good thing, and if there is a job to catch people, there will be merit and reward. The two of them have already calculated, and when they go back, they will check a few high-end prostitution houses in Beijing, and later, the whole city will know that there are a few officials who do not abide by the national funeral today, and if people really go back and hold back, it will be difficult to arrest.

"The second thing," Jiang Yuyan was a little helpless, Zhu Houzhao left her a lot of messes. Although a group of officials have been dealt with today, if you don't care about these people and things, there will still be people chattering in the future.

"Today, when you were all there when the royal gate listened to the government, Qian Qianyi suggested demolishing the leopard house, and this mourner would not agree. But there are some things that have to be dealt with. Jiang Yuyan looked at Jiang Bin.

Jiang Bin instantly understood, Jiang Yuyan's meaning of what he said, and suddenly said: "What Niangniang said, but the Huangzhuang Huangdian, the beauties of the Quartet, the Fanbang, the Tianfang Sect and the monks who are stranded in Beijing. ”

Jiang Yuyan was a little embarrassed, Zhu Houzhao was a pig, he felt that he shouldn't eat pork, and he believed in Tianfang, and built a mosque on the outskirts of Beijing, and there was also a special place for worship in the leopard room.

He even wanted to completely Lan Daming, and ordered the whole country to ban pig raising, pig killing, pig selling, and eating pork, and the violators were assigned to the frontier to fill the army, Jiang Yuyan remembered this will more clearly, it was really too magical, Zhu Hou did not give this will because of how pious he was, mainly because his own surname was Zhu, and he belonged to pigs, and the two words had the same sound, and he should really avoid it according to the system.

Zhu Houzhao even popularized the view that eating pigs is unhealthy and prone to obesity and sores to the people, which caused the people to shake, and the people instead seized the time to kill their own pigs and sell them cheaply.

In fact, Jiang Yuyan felt that it didn't matter if he was healthy or not, he could just get it if he was delicious, and a few months later, under the advice of the minister, the edict was withdrawn.

After all, there is already a ban on cattle, and if pigs are banned, it will be really difficult for ordinary people to eat meat.

Jiang Yuyan followed Zhu Houzhao, and she really hadn't eaten pork, but it wasn't unbearable, after all, everything the cook in the imperial dining room was delicious.

Putting the rattle aside, Jiang Yuyan said: "You don't have to move this Huangzhuang Huangdian, otherwise what will you use to fill the inside?" What do you say to compete with the people for profit, hum, there are thousands of acres of land in each family, this is less, the mourning family does not believe that their family is not in business, you will find out their family assets, and the source of income to the mourning family, and submit it. Whoever wants to say the nonsense of canceling the imperial store again, he will charge his store first! ”

Jiang Bin frowned, feeling that this method was too rude, and the official's family property was a taboo in officialdom, especially the source of income, the salary in the Ming Dynasty was not high, and if he relied on the salary to eat normally, there was no way to support the dignity of an official.

Jiang Yuyan knew what they were thinking, and said, "Checking officials, it's your business, you can't do this little thing, what are you going to do?" The combined worth of these officials in Beijing must exceed 50 million taels, and the mourning family will give you three months, and the actual data can only be higher than this. Otherwise, you two wouldn't have to stay in this position. ”

Jiang Xu and the others glanced at each other, and they both saw the embarrassment in each other's eyes, but they had no choice but to respond, and said in unison: "Follow the instructions of the mother." ”

"Hmmm! As for those beauties, after all, they are women in the name of the emperor, and most of them have been pampered, so if they are released rashly, how can the mourning family explain to the emperor,

If you listen to the words of the civil officials and send them back to their hometowns, hmph, how many of these people are from innocent backgrounds, can they survive when they go back? Even if they survived, there were a few people who were watching them squarely! Jiang Yuyan scoffed.

"What the mother said is that those people take it for granted." Xu Xianchun was busy praising Jiang Yuyan.

"Originally, these women who were not pregnant and had an heir should be martyred according to the system, but the mourning family thought, after all, it is a life, the emperor is still young, and he has to accumulate a lot of virtue to ensure that he grows up safely."

"The mother is kind, and the ministers are ashamed." Xu Xianchun answered again.

"Except for the virtuous concubine Wu family, the virtuous concubine Shen family, and the concubine Wang family, the others will send it to Xianying Temple to practice on their behalf." Xianying Temple is a nunnery in Shijingshan, during the Tianshun period, it was given the name by Yingzong - Shuntian Baoming Temple.

"You greet Father-in-law Gu for this matter, your brocade guards are only responsible for guarding outside, and the personal staff should let the inner servants come." Jiang Yuyan arranged this matter, and she felt a little relaxed in her heart, and looked at the two with a smile.

"Don't worry, I'll get things done!"

Su Huirong brought a cup of Longjing before the rain and put it on Jiang Yuyan's side, and Jiang Yuyan motioned for Jiang Xu and the others to have two cups.

"The last one is about the arrangements of those Heavenly Sects and Tibetan monks." Jiang Yuyan held the special jade-colored Longquan celadon tea cup, Qiong's nose moved slightly, and after sniffing the fragrance of tea, she skimmed the tea leaves with the tea lid before taking a sip of tea.
