Hearing the sound, the surrounding believers immediately got up and went over to arrest the person.

The strong man who was originally in charge of the sacrifice actually wanted to snatch the child from Cheng Yuan's hands, but where was he Cheng Yuan's opponent.

Although he looked strong, he was a person with no strength in his feet, and he was directly kicked down by Cheng Yuan.

"This person pretended to be the prince of the country and destroyed the reincarnation of the White Lotus Niangniang, the crime is extremely heinous, and we will take him down together to atone for the Niangniang." The followers of the White Lotus Sect shouted.

Dao Yan also came over at this moment, took the child over and protected him: "Two young children are alive, you are willing to do such a hurtful thing for the sake of a void White Lotus Niangniang!" ”

A few believers clamored to come and take the child back.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves and footsteps was heard not far away: "Take it!" ”

Cheng Yuan glanced out of the crowd, but saw that Zhu Neng, the Duke of Chengguo, had already rushed into the crowd with hundreds of soldiers with bright armor.

Surrounded these White Lotus Sects, the riots in the crowd were abnormal, Cheng Yuan smiled, fortunately Zhu Neng came in time, if he came late, he would definitely clean up these White Lotus Believers.

"Sir, Master!" Zhu Neng strode up to Cheng Yuan and Dao Yan, put on a suit of armor and said, "The White Lotus Sect demon has been taken." ”

After the crowd dispersed, Cheng Yuan hugged Zhu Neng: "Thank you Cheng Guogong." ”

Zhu Neng clenched his fists: "Zhen Guogong, this time it is also a good thing to eliminate harm for the people, I Zhu Neng admire, I will definitely report to Your Majesty today." ”

Cheng Yuan laughed: "Cheng Guogong, today's things don't have to be, it's all a trivial matter, I didn't save the two children for merit, no need." ”

Dao Yan also smiled and continued to visit the temple fair.

When Zhu Neng was leaving, he told Cheng Yuan, One of the people caught this time was the head of the White Lotus Sect. It's not clear what that means.

Cheng Yuan has heard of it.

The White Lotus Sect is also divided into north and south, the Ming Sect and the White Lotus Sect in the north call the boss of the hall the old shopkeeper, and the White Lotus Sect in the south is called the head of the sect.

There are many branches of the White Lotus Sect, and the leaders are all called masters, masters, masters, ancestors, and marshals.

The Northern and Southern Ming Sect is the main branch of the White Lotus Sect.

Seeing Princess An Cheng next to her, Zhu Neng also hurriedly saluted, and then asked, "Your Royal Highness and Grandpa Guo came to visit the temple fair?" ”

"Well, walk around, today there is a Gong Cheng Guogong."

An Cheng and Cheng Yuan expressed their gratitude to Zhu Neng.

"Before, the White Lotus Sect was hunted down by the imperial court, and it has disappeared in the past few years, but I didn't expect them to suddenly appear at the temple fair today." Zhu Neng was very strange.

Cheng Yuan didn't think it was strange, in the past two years, the imperial court had no time to care about arresting the White Lotus Sect, because it suddenly came alive again.

The White Lotus Sect in the south brainwashed many believers and abandoned their families and children, causing many families to be ruined.

Cheng Yuan thought for a while and said: "Cheng Guogong, the people of the White Lotus Sect are good at hiding their identities, attaching themselves to the princes and nobles, and secretly doing things that are not tolerated by the law, so when they are arrested, they must follow the vine. ”

Zhu Neng disagreed, this is the capital, who of them dares to shield the White Lotus Demon, and after saying goodbye to Cheng Yuan, he escorted the White Lotus Demon back.

Cheng Yuan looked at the people scattered around, frowned and said, "Your Highness, let's go back, I heard that there are many believers in the White Lotus Sect, so don't you go out of the mansion at will in the future." ”

"Well, you should be careful, but if I stay in the house, you will be different." An Cheng's eyes like ice crystals looked at him and said, "Tomorrow, I want to invite the families of the nearby soldiers to the Guogong Mansion and take good care of them for my husband." ”

Cheng Yuan knew that An Cheng was talking about the brothers who lived near the Guogong Mansion, who were now doing errands for the imperial court, and they also had wives and children.

"I'll invite them when I have the chance, you have to take good care of your body, and if you need anything, you can send someone in the house to buy it." Cheng Yuan smiled, pointed to her stomach and said, "I'll listen to my cub." ”

"It's only been a long time, how can you hear it."

Seeing Cheng Yuan put his ear to her body, he let him do stupid things with a soft childlike gaze.

………………

The Cabinet is located in an unassuming part of the Imperial City.

It looks inconspicuous, but it is actually the office place that Zhu Di prepared for several ministers.

The recitals of the Ming Dynasty will be sent over, many of them will be read by each scholar first, and after they have finished reading, important things will be sent to the Qianqing Palace, the Imperial Study or the Jinshen Palace, and Zhu Laosi will be seen.

The cabinet has a vote.

The so-called vote is also called the purpose of the vote and the purpose of the article.

Before submitting the manuscripts from all parts of the country to the emperor for approval, the cabinet scholars wrote down the approval suggestions on paper and pasted them on the opposite side of the recitals.

The Ming and Qing Dynasty cabinets replied to the ministers' chapters on behalf of the emperor, and first wrote the proposed words on the ticket, and the attached copy was submitted to the emperor for ruling.

However, when it came to the votes drafted by Zhu Fatang and Zhu Zhanji after they came to power, during the Wanli period, almost all the votes drafted by Zhang Juzheng were transformed into the blueprint for "criticizing Zhu".

After the Chenghua, Zhengde, Longqing, and Apocalypse years, these emperors favored the eunuchs, and even handed over the privilege of approving their own red to the celebrant eunuch, who was replaced by the eunuch Bingbi.

The functions and powers of the cabinet were controlled by the eunuchs and checked each other. The most famous eunuchs should be Wang Zhen, Wang Zhi and Liu Jin, Wei Zhongxian.

Even the famous politician Zhang Juzheng needed to do things and carry out reforms with their help by bribing the eunuchs.

Yang Rong, Yang Shiqi, Xie Jin, and six or seven of them all wrote down their suggestions in Song Shu and sent them to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di will first read the content of the song, and then look at the suggestions of several scholars, and then make a final decision.

Out of respect for the cabinet scholars, Zhu Di usually adopts their suggestions, which are all small things.

If Zhu Di thinks it's good, he will draw a red circle on the advice they gave, meaning to do it according to this meaning.

Zhu Laosi is generally very willful, and he has his own opinions on many things.

Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi sat in the cool tea room, eating tea and chatting.

They are talking about the recent affairs of the Japanese in Dinghai County, the cultivation of the north, and somehow they talk about today's temple fair.

Yang Rong took a sip of tea and said: "I heard that today Zhenguo Gong saved two children from the hands of the White Lotus Demon, but I didn't expect that he looks unruly on weekdays, but he is also very righteous in doing things. ”

Yang Shiqi said with a smile: "Have you ever been to the greenhouse of Zhenguo Gong, I went yesterday, and the vegetables and rice in it are really good."

Especially the cucumber, it tastes very sweet, and it is very nourishing for the kidneys...... Health. ”

"Ahem...... cough" Xie Jin coughed, when he heard Yang Shiqi's words, he couldn't help but want to debunk it, it was not health care at all, it was obviously kidney nourishment.

Yang Rong said with a smile: "Yesterday, I heard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also say that if it is really magical, Zhenguo Gong has indeed done a good thing for Daming."

This time, thousands of catties of corn and sweet potatoes were sent, but if they were sold for silver, they were a lot, but Zhenguo gave them to Shandong and Henan without taking a penny.

Based on this alone, it doesn't matter if he is uninhibited and insulting. ”

Several people nodded frequently, after all, who can accurately predict the floods in the four provinces in the south of the Yangtze River. Daming is the only one who is the prince of the town.
