Chapter 200: The Cat Eats the Mouse, and the Mouse Eats the Elephant
The matter of asking for money went quite smoothly, and the Dongchang side allocated it, and the pro-army side naturally couldn't escape, after all, it was a matter of concern in the palace, the factory guard was not the imperial court, the court could chirp crookedly, and the imperial envoys used all kinds of means to find faults, but the factory guard's rights came from the palace, and it was natural to look forward to the people in the palace.
It's just that......
The silver is coming, the yamen is still deserted, it is ridiculous to say, this yamen is to collect money, but the problem is that people will never obediently send the silver to the door, if you forcibly take it, can you rely on the less than 100 people in the yamen alone?
In the past few days, Xu Qian's father and son and several cousins of Xu Qian have eaten and lived in the Road Administration Bureau, formulated articles one by one, and agreed on countermeasures, but fortunately, the backbone of the yamen are their own people, so everyone is willing to do their best, especially Xu Fu, who has not slept well for a few days, and even thinks about business when he eats.
The only idle person is afraid that the only one who is idle is the princess, the prince has made up his mind to play soy sauce, and he will never take the lead, anyway, whatever Xu Chang explains, he will do, and try not to get wet.
At first, he thought that the construction of this yamen would definitely cause a sensation, and that there would be imperial envoys and even six bigwigs to intervene, and it might even attract the attention of some powerful figures.
But soon, he realized that he was wrong, from the establishment of the yamen to the present, no one has paid attention to them at all, as if this road political situation has never existed.
In fact, the prince still overestimated his own people, think about it, those characters who call for wind and rain, maybe they will notice the construction of this yamen at the beginning, and they will also be vigilant about the responsibilities of this yamen, but after careful scrutiny, they found that this so-called road administration situation is just a group of children playing at home, where is there any meaning to interfere and ask? Even many people have a thought in their hearts, this emperor is young after all. On the surface, it is deep, but it is also naΓ―ve, and it is so nonsense.
Since the matter is characterized as nonsense, everyone naturally has no interest in taking care of it, after all, this yamen has not made any noise, and the only danger is that it has added a few guys who eat pro-army meals, and the establishment of both eunuchs and pro-army has been greatly reduced over the years, and it doesn't hurt to increase a few quotas.
It's just that the palace is very concerned about this matter, although Jiajing has been on the throne for two years. But what he really did was lacklustre, and the only thing that was glorious was the dismissal of the eunuchs in various places, and now this matter is not only a matter of money for Jiajing, but also a matter of face, if this yamen is insignificant in the end. has become the laughing stock of others, so isn't he, the son of heaven, without any prestige in the eyes of others?
No matter how high and powerful you are, if you can't do something, or if the things you do are made laughing, then how you are in a high position, it is just a matter of making people disobey you.
In the past few days, Jiajing has not slept well. Sometimes he was full of confidence, and sometimes he felt that it was inappropriate, and even suddenly called Huang Jin in the middle of the night to ask, and learned that there was no movement on the side of the Road Administration Bureau. I was suddenly melancholy in the middle of the night.
Today's court meeting is very strange, after the court meeting is over, the next thing is to talk to a few scholars in the cabinet in the East Warm Pavilion.
After a few idle words, Yang Tinghe suddenly fell silent. said to Jiajing: "Your Majesty, I heard that there are people outside who are swaggering and deceiving in the name of Your Majesty. I don't know if there is such a thing? β
As soon as this sentence came out, the atmosphere in the entire Dongnuan Pavilion suddenly became tense.
Jiang Mian deliberately pinned his head to the side, and Mao Ji also felt that something was wrong, and coughed softly.
It seems that there is no problem with this sentence, but the problem is that the emperor's decree has been issued, and the road administration bureau has supervised such and such a thing, but Yang Tinghe directly came to deceive? What does this mean? On the surface, Yang Tinghe was pretending that he was not familiar with the inside story of this matter, but on the other hand, everyone knew that this was something instructed by Jiajing, but as a result, a swagger and deception was tantamount to pouring cold water on Jiajing.
Of course, although there is a knife hidden in the words, there is still nothing wrong with this sentence, Yang Ting and Zongheng Huanhai have been talking for so many years, and the level of speaking is naturally not comparable to ordinary people.
Jiajing's face froze for a moment, then smiled slightly, and said in a flat tone: "Huh? Mr. Yang's words, I don't understand, what happened outside the palace? He stood up, and then asked the eunuch beside him: "Someone is swaggering and deceiving under the banner of the palace, is there such a thing?" β
The eunuch hurriedly said, "Slave...... The slave doesn't know. β
Jiajing's eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent, and then he slapped the eunuch in the face fiercely, and shouted angrily: "I don't even know this, what use do I want you to do?" β
This time, the attack was naturally extremely heavy, and directly knocked the eunuch to the ground, the little eunuch trembled, but he didn't dare to call, but he hurriedly crawled on the ground, and said like chaff: "The slave and maid are dead...... Ten Thousand Dead ......"
Jiajing squinted his eyes and popped out three words from between his teeth: "Get out!" β
The little eunuch was pardoned, and hurriedly covered his hot face and fled in a panic.
Jiajing's anger immediately dissipated, and he looked at Yang Tinghe with a smile and said, "Now these minions are really useless. Mr. Yang, I'll find out about this matter. β
But now it was Yang Tinghe's turn to stiffen, he said that someone outside was swaggering, talking about the road political situation, which means that someone outside was messing around, and if it wasn't His Majesty who instigated them to do it, then someone must have done something bad under the banner of the emperor.
The problem with this sentence is that everyone in the capital knows that the holy decree has been issued, which is obviously a matter of the emperor's order, and it is impossible for Yang Tinghe not to know, and when he said that, he secretly reminded the emperor not to mess around.
And Jiajing's methods are more direct and violent, he didn't ask what this matter was, nor did he talk about the good or bad of the road political situation, but pretended that there was no such thing at all, and even slapped the eunuch this reason, the last sentence 'I don't even know this, what use do I want you to do', this sentence is obviously scolding the little eunuch, but in fact it refers to Sang scolding Huai - I don't even know if I have made a will, what is the use of me wanting you Yang Tinghe?
Aren't you pretending to be confused? Didn't you pretend you didn't know what was going on? Then I'll give you some color.
Although it was the little eunuch who was beaten, it was Yang Tinghe who was in pain, Yang Tinghe's face changed slightly, and then he returned to normal, and said with a faint smile: "It's naturally good that Your Majesty can find out." β
Immediately after the cabinet ministers retreated, in the empty Dongnuan Pavilion, Jiajing coughed, and the eunuch who had been beaten before crawled in and said, "What do you command?" β
Jiajing's face softened a little, glanced at the eunuch's swollen cheeks, and said, "Is the injury serious?" I'll call a doctor later. β
The little eunuch hurriedly said: "What is this injury of the slave maid, Your Majesty ......"
Jiajing didn't want to listen to his sycophants anymore, and interrupted him: "You usually follow me and do your best, there happens to be a shortage of supervisors in Shangshan Prison, so you can go there tomorrow to order something." β
The little eunuch was overjoyed, and hurriedly kowtowed to thank him, and said, "Yes, yes......"
Jiajing Fu case, seemed to be thinking about something, and suddenly said, "Go and call Huang Jin." β
Huang Jin's life has been very restless these days, every three or five days, no matter whether he is on duty or not, whether it is day or night, the emperor's summons are too frequent, if it is something else, it is just the same thing, but the more there is no progress over there, the more anxious His Majesty is, so that the Queen Mother and the Empress Dowager Zhang also called him to ask, saying that the emperor has been restless in recent days, and asked him what is going on, Huang Jin had to say, the result is not only the emperor, but even the two palaces often ask him to ask.
If it goes on like this, Huang Jin has to go crazy, but he is originally a slave, this kind of thing is also his duty, and he can't escape, hearing Jiajing call him, he naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly rushed to the warm pavilion.
"Your Majesty, the slave is here, I don't know what your majesty commands?"
Jiajing glanced at Huang Jin, Huang Jin was a little thinner than before, and then he smiled coldly and said, "Get up." β
Huang Jin felt the coldness on Jiajing's body, and immediately knew that it was not good, and couldn't help muttering in his heart, who provoked the emperor today, why is it murderous? He thought that this was the end of the court meeting, so he couldn't help but think: "Could it be that something awkward happened during the court meeting, or something went wrong when His Majesty summoned the ministers?"
Just when Huang Jin was nervous, Jiajing began to speak, he coldly circled around the pavilion, and then said viciously: "Is there any new news from the Road Administration Bureau?" How can there be no movement at all? It's been so many days. β
Huang Jin sighed in his heart and said, "Over there...... There's no news over there for the time being, after all, it's just been created, and if it wants to work, the slave maid wants to ...... I was thinking, it shouldn't be so easy......"
Jiajing narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "I can't wait, hum!" You have to think of a way, think of a way to speed up, you go to Xu Qian, tell him, I don't care about any way, half a moon...... Within half a month, we must make some noise, and if I can't make a move, I asked him. β
Huang Jin's heart couldn't help but get nervous, and said, "This ...... This is inevitably difficult for some strong people. β
Jiajing's eyes sank slightly: "What did you say?" β
Huang Jin blurted out that sentence for a while, but now that he has come to his senses, he is already so frightened that his soul is not possessed, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty forgive your sins!" β
Jiajing's face was actually much softer, and he sighed and said: "They forced me, look at my jokes, you are my people, I can only force you, everyone has difficulties, you want me to be considerate of you, but who is considerate of me?" You go to Xu Qian, don't delay. β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
The tiger only sighed and said: "The books at the back of the monthly ticket list are chasing tightly, they force the tiger, you are the tiger's old friends, the tiger can only force you, everyone has difficulties, you want the tiger to understand you and keep changing, but who understands the tiger, you will support the tiger again!" If you have a commuter pass, can you no longer keep it! β
