Chapter 174: Bribery
The emperor left Jingren Palace, and the banquet was soon put on the table, and the inner and outer women entered the banquet to congratulate the queen and wish her a long life and good health. After the banquet, everyone went out of the palace gate one after another.
Lin Yi and Mrs. Zhou returned to Kangjun Mansion together.
The two of them went to see Mrs. Zhou, Lin Yi went back to the room to freshen up and rest, and Mrs. Zhou's Mrs. Zhen stayed in Mrs. Zhou's room to talk.
Old Madam Zhou leaned on the Luohan bed and looked at Zhen with half-squinted eyes, "What's wrong?" His face was pale. ”
Zhen took the beauty fist from the maid's hand and beat Mrs. Zhou's legs, and the people in the house hurriedly retreated.
"Mother," Zhen said eagerly, "we have been calculated. ”
Old Madam Zhou opened her eyes slightly.
Zhen said: "The queen called her daughter-in-law in, although she didn't say it on the surface, but blamed her daughter-in-law for saying that the Chen family and the county prince did not agree." ”
The queen has a weak temperament, and she would speak for the Chen family like this.
Zhen said: "It turns out that the Chen family is really making medicine in the house, and the prince of the county smells the medicine and feels uncomfortable, so he moved to the study to sleep." ”
The husband and wife put together in a play. Just to show them.
No wonder the queen would blame the Zhen family, they were the only ones who could enter and leave the Kangjun Palace. In the past, outsiders said that King Kangjun and his uncle and aunt's family were harmonious, and after this incident, everyone would be puzzled, especially in front of the queen.
Originally, it was so big that she wanted Lin Yi to lose face at the queen's Qianqiu banquet, but she didn't expect that the person who was embarrassed was her, "The daughter-in-law didn't dare to look up at people." The mother didn't know how Chen spoke, she was crying and laughing, and she didn't know where the tears came from. It seems that someone is really bullied. At first, everyone was talking around Chen, waiting for Chen's words to come out. All eyes fell on her.
Old Madam Zhou listened quietly, and only asked Zhen after a while, "How is the previous dynasty?" Did you hear anything from the palace? ”
Zhen said: "Bachelor Zhang seems to have an accident, and I didn't find out what the situation was, and Bachelor Zhang's daughter-in-law went to ask the queen." The daughter-in-law looked at the queen and didn't agree. "Bachelor Zhang's daughter-in-law came out crying.
Mrs. Zhou went to feel for the Buddhist beads in her sleeve, and was just about to reach out and twist them slowly, but she didn't want to let go of her hand. There was a crisp sound of landing, and a string of Buddhist beads rolled to the ground.
Zhen was startled, and Shen's mother outside also entered the house.
Shen's mother and Zhen hurriedly squatted down to pick up the Buddha beads. This string of Buddhist beads was just asked for by going to Tsinghua Temple. I only used it today, why did it break.
"Forget it," Old Madam Zhou waved her hand, "Ming'er will ask for another string." ”
Shen's mother said: "It's because the slave didn't look carefully when she took it out, and she didn't tie it tightly when she asked her to come back." Saying that, he looked at the thread in Mrs. Zhou's hand, "Look at it." ”
Old Madam Zhou hadn't spoken yet.
Zhen said: "This is really going to happen, the Buddha beads are invited every year in the Tsinghua Temple, and there has never been such a situation." ”
Old Madam Zhou glanced at Zhen. Zhen was suddenly silenced.
Mrs. Zhou said: "I have time here, and I don't arrange for anyone to go out to inquire about what is going on." ”
Zhen's face turned red and he hurriedly came down.
……
The Queen's Thousand Autumn Banquet is over. The ladies have all returned home, and the court meeting has not yet dispersed. Families began to find ways to inquire about the news.
The most worrying ones are the families of the Hou family of Guangping and the family of Master Zhang.
The old lady in the Chen family's room was resting in the room, and Xiao Xiao was already in a hurry.
The old lady of the long room opened her eyes slightly and glanced at Xiao Xiao, "Don't walk back and forth, it makes people dizzy." ”
Xiao Xiao stopped at this time, "I'm afraid, mother, you say, it's really going to be okay?" ”
The old lady in the long room didn't raise her eyes, "Didn't the six girls already let people bring the news back......"
Having said so, but if he couldn't see Chen Yunyuan, Xiao Xiao still couldn't rest assured.
"What are you afraid of," the old lady of the long house frowned slightly, "Old Zheng Ge has been involved, and you are still afraid of one more Guangping Hou." ”
Xiao Xiao sat down, "The daughter-in-law doesn't understand, why doesn't my mother worry at all, the prince of Kangjun and the prince of Hou have different political opinions, and there is one wrong one in this after all." Lin Yi also supported the old man's ...... There is no one to help the prince of this county......"
You don't have to have your own family to help you get a good result.
The old lady of the long room said: "The surname of the country promised to go to the fold, Lin Yi told me, the Fujian Navy Master will definitely be built, and the country will also be beaten, but you don't know the temper of the Hou Ye, it is more difficult for him to say things against his heart than anything else, and others can expose him in a few words." Since the emperor has taken a fancy to his uprightness, it is better to let him tell the truth, which is also what King Kangjun meant. Besides, the emperor does not have to fight for right or wrong in front of him, the real crux is not whether to form a sailor. ”
Xiao Xiao still didn't understand, "My mother said that the daughter-in-law of political affairs is not understandable at all, as long as the prince of the county and the marquis are fine, I will eat vegetarian food for a year." ”
The old lady of the long room sighed, this is what Xiao Xiao can do, he is dedicated to his family, not like Lin Yi, whether it is family affairs or political affairs. As soon as the matter of her in-laws came out, she felt embarrassed in her heart, but she didn't expect to force the prince of the county and Lin Yi to think of such a method. With such an arrangement inside and out, those who really calculate the two of them will suffer.
Besides, the son-in-law and the father-in-law disagree, and it seems that the King of Kangjun and the Chen family are not for their own selfishness, and those who participate in their favoritism will be gagged. The civil and military officials in Beijing clearly knew that the emperor intended to build a water division, but they ignored it and participated in the main battle faction.
As long as this matter is expanded, the real people who use this for personal gain are these officials who handed over the impeachment and played the folds, and they did not share the emperor's worries at the critical moment, but they were bent on using political affairs to get rid of dissidents......
In this way, there is no mistake in making wide remarks in the court, but it is meritorious, and he has fulfilled the duty of a courtier. Whether it is the Zhen family, the King of Kangjun or the Chen family, it will be fine.
That's why Mr. Zhang, who stood up to participate in King Kangjun and Chen Yunyuan, made a mess in his family.
In other words, it worked.
"Six girls, this kid is so bold." It was the six girls who proposed to send the medicine made by Mr. Yuqiu to the queen.
……
Lin Yi chose this day to share tea in the house, she hadn't been so comfortable for several days, and now she breathed a sigh of relief, and she could finally take a sip of tea while holding her cheeks and looking at the scenery in the yard.
Orange added a handful of incense to the incense burner. It's the taste of cinnamon, and it's sweet to ask. Hu Tao took the bed and put it in front of the incense burner to smoke it.
After the futon was smoked, Orange went to the courtyard to tell Lin Yi, "Princess Jun, Lord Kangjun commanded in the morning." I'm going to move the bed back from the study today. ”
I really wouldn't stay for one more day.
Thinking that Zhou Jiujiu stood under the windowsill for a while every night, Lin Yi felt that her cheeks were a little hot from the sun, and simply put her sleeves on her forehead.
I have enough strength to rest. Lin Yi let Bai Shao help her up.
The mother-in-law on the door came in at this time and said, "The old man is here." ”
Now this situation surprised Mrs. Zhou, so Mrs. Zhou's family was in a hurry to let Zhou Yuanjing go out to inquire about the news.
"Are you going to eat in the house again in the evening?" Linglong whispered.
"Let's let the kitchen prepare meals as usual." Lin Yi smiled slightly, after the last time Mrs. Zhou's Zhen should have had an epiphany. At this time, it is better to go back to the ancestral house of the Zhou family.
After speaking. Lin Yi asked the two maids sent by Prince Rong, "How is it?" ”
Bai Shao said: "I don't want to do anything, except to play the piano and sing songs." ”
The maids raised in Prince Rong's mansion are naturally ten fingers that do not touch the spring water.
I can't do rough work, but I can always listen to the call, "Let them go to the old lady's room with me, and they will be used as third-class maids in the future." The third-class maid would often follow her around, and Mrs. Zhou's wife Zhen had always asked people to inquire about the situation of the two maids. Today, she will take it to Mrs. Zhou's room and let Zhen take a good look.
She also thanked Zhen, without Zhen going outside to spread the truth and falsehood. Prince Rong will not send a beautiful maid over.
Lin Yi took the maid to Mrs. Zhou's room and asked the two maids beside her to make tea for Mrs. Zhou.
Mrs. Zhou's eyes fell on the two maids from time to time.
Zhou Yuanjing on the chair next to him didn't seem to see it. Just bow your head and drink tea.
"What news did Uncle Ke hear?" Lin Yi simply asked bluntly.
Zhou Yuanjing frowned slightly, "It's not clear." I tried my best to hide something, and my eyebrows showed even more disgust for her words.
In other words, at least there was no bad news for Zhou Shijiu, otherwise Zhou Yuanjing would have been in a hurry to tell her.
Lin Yi lowered her eyes, and waited for Shen's mother to come back after a while.
"There's news," Shen's mother said softly as she walked into the house and walked over to the old lady.
Old Madam Zhou listened quietly.
Shen's mother said: "Bachelor Zhang fainted in the palace and was sent back to Zhang's house," said after a pause, "The slave maid also heard from Zhang's family that Bachelor Zhang has been shouting in a daze, and he is already old and wants to resign and go home." ”
Bachelor Zhang was carried out of the palace, and the court meeting finally dispersed.
The news of the court meeting spread like wings to all corners of the capital at once.
Bachelor Zhang resigned, and the emperor approved it on the spot, and said, "Zhang Aiqing is old." ”
This sentence alone is enough to make those civil officials who have been on the fold feel uneasy.
The emperor rewarded Master Zhang with 1,300 taels of silver on the spot.
Mr. Zhang fainted all of a sudden.
Later, everyone inquired and learned that the reason why Mr. Zhang spoke in the court was because his youngest son lost silver in the casino and injured someone, and Mr. Zhang spent a lot of savings in order to cover up, and he had lost a lot of gambling by his younger son on weekdays, so the family was emptied at once, not to mention, he also owed the casino 3,300 taels of silver, and Mr. Zhang accepted a bribe of 2,000 taels of silver from others in order to make up the silver.
The emperor rewarded 1,300 taels, which was exactly the silver owed by the youngest son of Master Zhang.
At a glance, Mr. Zhang understood that the emperor already knew everything.
