The early dynasty ended, and the civil and military officials retreated.

Although the incident happened when Liu Zhong killed Qiu Jing of An Lu Zhizhou, everyone closed their mouths after realizing the obstruction of the imperial court in An Lu Qingzhang Tianmu.

Not to mention that it seems very strange for Qiu Jing to be promoted like this as a tribute official, just based on Qiu Jing's behavior in Anlu Zhizhou, it is really not a pity to be beheaded by Liu Zhong angrily this time.

The decrees of the imperial court are never child's play, and he is a small governor who does not do everything possible to cooperate with the imperial court's governance, and even wants to obstruct it, which is really self-defeating.

Guanglu Siqing Li Ao and other officials involved had just been escorted away by Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and Jinyiwei had one more decree, but together with Du Ming, the secretary of the Criminal Department, he went to the homes of officials such as Wailang Sun Jiao, a member of the Wenxuan Division of the Ministry of Officials, to investigate.

Wan An and Liu Ji witnessed the whole process of this early dynasty, but they did not express their position from beginning to end, and now they are silently going to the Heart Cultivation Palace, like two diligent old men.

Li Si and other six secretaries of the household department saw the crisis from the officials, and the officials below could cause trouble to themselves, so even if they decided to go back and beat the officials of the divisions.

Although the Ming Dynasty has always tabooed the relationship between the six Shangshu and the officials in order to prevent them from having too much authority, it is still okay as long as they don't go too far.

After these days of getting along, everyone is also slowly figuring out the temperament of Zhu Youji, the emperor, Hongzhi is a very important official practical ability, but also a very generous emperor.

Like Xu Qiong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites who went to Datong to negotiate with Manduhai, just because Xu Qiong took the initiative to ask for an envoy, the emperor favored Xu Qiong.

The four six Shangshu walked at the forefront, looking a little hurried, but they were ready to focus on the affairs of their yamen.

Liu Jian, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, actually took charge of the Ministry of Rites instead of Xu Qiong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but he just saw Li Ao of Guanglu Temple being taken away, but he felt a strong uneasiness in his heart.

The development of events in the early dynasty today was completely unexpected, and the scene they expected did not appear at all, almost because they let Sun Jiao get out of control as soon as he attacked.

Once Li Ao of Guanglu Temple confesses himself, he is afraid that he will not be able to escape, and now he can only hope that Li Ao can bear it alone, or Li Ao will die in prison.

"Brother Xixian, what should we do now?" Qiu Jun, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, quickly followed, and asked worriedly when he saw that there was no one around.

In terms of age, Qiu Jun is ten years older than Liu Jian, and entered officialdom earlier. It's just that Liu Jian is a genuine emperor, and now he is half a step ahead of Qiu Jun, so Liu Jian is the new leader of Qingliu.

In getting along in private, Qiu Jun did not dare to rely on the old and sell the old, not only maintained a respect for Liu Jian, but even obeyed Liu Jian's decision.

Liu Jian looked at the blue sky in front of him, but he knew that the storm would come at any time, so he responded lightly: "Abandon the car to protect the handsome, when it is broken, it will be broken!" ”

Qiu Jun originally wanted to discuss how to make up for the flaws on Sun Jiao's side, especially Sun Jiao's house had secrets that even he didn't know, but he didn't want Liu Jian to survive now.

Liu Jian knew that this was an extraordinary time, and it was destined that Cheng Zong, the left attendant of the Criminal Department, was looking this way, so he quickly shook off Qiu Jun and left alone.

Although it is important to help each other in officialdom, how can we make up for such a big hole now? The top priority now is to protect yourself.

The golden morning sun fell on the palace road, and the royal driver also returned along the palace road towards the Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Youzhu sat on the comfortable dragon chariot, but his face was not happy because of the results he had just achieved, and even his whole face was slightly tucked.

There is never a winner in the infighting in Huaxia, and now after the sudden "thunder" of the Ministry of Officials and the Department of Literature and Literature, he realizes that the situation of local officials is much more serious than he wants.

"Your Majesty, according to the slave's opinion, Qiu Jing's over-relocation must be Qiu Jun's desire to promote his children and nephews, so he instructed the Ministry of Officials to do such a ridiculous thing!" Liu Jin accompanied the car, but couldn't help but express his opinion.

Zhu Youzhu looked at the palace road bathed in the morning sun in front of him, but said bitterly: "If this is the truth, I can feel more at ease!" ”

"Your Majesty, isn't that so?" Liu Jin couldn't help but be stunned, and asked even later.

Zhu Youzhi had already seen the Qianqing Gate in front of him, and said very wisely: "This matter is more complicated than it seems, and there are even other people who really promote Qiu Jing's promotion!" ”

"Your Majesty, Qiu Jing has no intersection with other important ministers, this is ...... How can there be someone behind him to help him? When Liu Jin heard Zhu Youji's judgment, he was very puzzled.

Zhu Youzhi passed through the Qianqing Gate and saw the beautiful woman who led the palace maid in front of him, so he let Liu Jin understand it well, and believed that Liu Jin's wisdom would see through this small way.

"The concubine respectfully returns His Majesty!"

Pan Jinling is only seventeen years old, with delicate facial features, skin better than snow, thin red lips, playful smile, and beautiful eyes that seem to be able to seduce people's souls.

Because he slept in the Qianqing Palace last night, he is now waiting here to greet him, wearing a sexy purple dress, a woman's headdress, wearing a net pocket and hairpin flowers, and a charm that does not match his age.

After all, she was born as a palace maid, and she learned etiquette very well, and she gave a salute to the returning Zhu Youji, but it showed her slender figure.

Zhu Youzhu naturally knew that this girl's body was soft and fragrant, and they all said that men like the new and hate the old, but they felt that this woman was becoming more and more flavorful.

"Your Majesty, the concubine just sent someone to invite Yue Meiren to come over and go to Xiyuan with Your Majesty to relax, I don't know if it's allowed?" Fan Jinling never pampered and arrogant, just asked seriously.

Zhu Youzhu actually encouraged them to go to Xiyuan more often, and then walked towards the Qianqing Palace and said: "There are not many government affairs today, if you are still at noon, you will accompany me to the Tingchao Pavilion to escape the heat!" ”

"Does Your Majesty want the two of us together?" Fan Jinling's pretty face had a meaningful smile, and he asked seriously.

Zhu Youzhu liked to listen to the sound of the golden bell ringing at the ankle of the golden bell, but he was slightly stunned and said, "Isn't your relationship with Yuemei very good?" What's wrong with two together! ”

"Okay, then Your Majesty, you will eat more, there is your favorite chicken stew soup for breakfast today!" Fan Jinling paused, slightly tilted his pretty face and said seriously.

Zhu Youzhi found that this woman was suddenly weird, but if he knew that the other party really cared about him, he nodded lightly, and then went to the dining room to eat.

Due to the rules of the palace, except for large-scale celebrations, he may dine on the same occasion as the concubines in the palace, and usually eat alone.

As Fan Jinling said, there is really a chicken stew on the table that he likes.

In fact, the diet of the Ming Court is very old-fashioned, and there are almost no seasonings added to each dish, pursuing the so-called original taste, which is also to prevent people from poisoning through seasonings.

It's just that they met the emperor who likes fishing, but the earthy smell of some fish is too strong, so they naturally have to do their best to compete for posts.

Although Liu Yidao was stabbed below, his name is domineering, and his cooking skills are really good, and now he has become a popular imperial chef, or Nei.

The chicken stew made by Liu Yidao has become Zhu Youji's favorite soup, and Liu Yidao's status is rising, causing the Ming Ting's old-fashioned eating style to change subtly.

"This sour plum soup is really a good soup to relieve the heat, but ......" Zhu Youzhu also drank a cup of chilled sour plum soup at the end, but frowned slightly.

Liu Yidao's heart tightened, and he asked seriously: "Your Majesty, I don't know where you don't agree?" ”

"The flavors of black plum, hawthorn, tangerine peel, osmanthus, and licorice have all been integrated, but this sugar is still not as good as rock sugar!" Zhu Youzhi is like the most outstanding gourmand at this time, but he is provocative.

As soon as these words came out, several imperial chefs were in good spirits, but they were very at a loss about this rock candy.

"Now the sugar we boil is sandy, but the rock sugar is lumpy, you slowly understand this matter!" Zhu Youzhu didn't remember the process of making rock candy very clearly, and finally waved his hand.

Liu Yidao and the other imperial chefs silently wrote it down, but it seemed that there was still a long way to go if they wanted to get the food instructed by His Majesty.

Fan Jinling and Qingyue were already waiting in front of the gate of the Qianqing Palace, and when they saw Zhu Youzhu appear, they immediately saluted in a proper manner.

Qingyue is wearing Qingyue today, although it is not as exposed as Fan Jinling, but it is also revealing a sexy collarbone, and the whole person is more like everyone's beautiful demeanor.

is the same age as Fan Jinling, but it has a more mature charm in his gestures, and his long black hair is simply combed and hung down, but it is a natural beauty to be carved.

After sneaking over to the Qianqing Palace to sleep for a few days, the matter was not good to hide after all, Zhu Youzhi personally asked the Queen Mother to bring Qingyue to the Qianqing Palace, and not long ago she was officially canonized as the Moon Beauty.

So far, in addition to the concubine, the palace has a lotus beauty and a moon beauty, and the lotus beauty is as charming as a water lily, and the moon beauty is as pleasing to the eye as the full moon.

Zhu Youzhu was very satisfied with the two beauties he had personally screened, and after saying hello, he took the dragon chariot to the Palace of Nourishing Heart to prepare to deal with government affairs.

Fan Jinling and Qingyue also stepped on the chariot and followed Zhu Youzhu to the West Garden.

Although the distance between Xiyuan Gate and Xihua Gate is only more than ten meters, strictly speaking, they are considered to be out of the palace, so every time they go, they need Zhu Youji's consent.

"Sister Qingyue, can I sleep with you tonight?" When Fan Jinling had just walked out of the Qianqing Gate, he suddenly begged for the tunnel.

Qingyue has always been down-and-out and generous, but now she suddenly made a big red face.

"If you don't speak, I'll count you agreeing!" Fan Jinling showed his little tiger teeth, and it seemed that his plan had succeeded.

Qingyue was thin-skinned after all, but she suddenly responded: "Your Majesty will not allow you to mess around like this!" ”

Zhu Youzhi heard Qingyue in the back mention of himself, and he was puzzled at first, but he reacted immediately.

If Fan Jinling comes over again, it is indeed a bit crowded for the three of them to sleep together, and Qingyue obviously takes this into account, and sure enough, Qingyue can think more thoughtfully about things.

The group entered from the Xiyuan Gate, and Zhu Youzhu came directly to the front of the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Zhu Youzhu had just come here, and he had just made it public with the two beauties, and he learned that Du Ming, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Wang Xiang had already asked to see him together in front of the palace gate.

Liu Jin, who was accompanying him, was also confused, and when he was ordered to go and bring people in.

Zhu Youzhu sat down in front of the imperial case, but he didn't understand what happened to him, and he ran back to his side so quickly, could it be that the search of the house was obstructed?

This incident can be said to have given him a wake-up call.

I thought that I had completely controlled the entire court, but judging from the promotion of Qiu Jing of Anlu Zhizhou, I found that I had been too optimistic.

Qiu Jing's promotion is certainly related to Qiu Jun, but the reason why he was able to get the full cooperation of the Ministry of Officials and the Department of Literature and Literature is probably related to Qiu Jing's obstruction of Liu Zhongqing's fields.

It is precisely like this, behind Qiu Jing's promotion, although there is a factor of Qiu Jun's promotion through Sun Jiao, but behind it may be inseparable from the people hiding in the shadows.

It's just that they have calculated everything, but I'm afraid they didn't count until Liu Zhong, who has always been an honest person, suddenly turned black, and even used the Shang Fang sword he gave him to kill people like Wang Yue.

Liu Zhong suddenly cut out the rules of officialdom, but cut out Qiu Jing, a pest, and also a group of echo insects such as Sun Jiao, Fan Yi and Li Feng.

However, this time he was a blessing in disguise, not only realizing that the Ministry of Literature and Literature and the Examination Division had rotted, but also finally found the best way to eradicate the local slippery officials.

Next, as long as he gets rid of all the maggots in the ministry, he can have a more comprehensive grasp of his own court, and then select officials who are loyal to him and impartial to enter the ministry, and then screen out the local officials to find good officials who can really do things.

Du Ming, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Wang Xiang came in together, first silently exchanged a look, and then sent a thick stack of letters with a solemn expression.

Liu Jin took the stack of letters from them, and then respectfully sent the letters to Zhu Youji.

Zhu Youzhu opened the letter at random, and after seeing the contents on it, he couldn't help but gasp, and finally knew why Sun Jiao wanted to stop him from searching his house.

Beizhen Fusi, in prison.

Since there are no windows, it is dark all year round, so candles are required.

Wailang Sun Jiao, a member of the Ministry of Literature and Selection, received special treatment, and was not imprisoned in Dongchang Prison like others, but fell into the hands of Jinyiwei.

It was only at this time that the whole person sat in the corner and shivered, looking very frightened at the door of the cell that was slowly opening.

"What is there in your house that you can't see?" A man in a black hat appeared, asking in an old-fashioned voice.

Sun Jiao saw the other party's side face clearly by the candlelight, and finally chose to confess: "Letter, the letter you gave, I ...... I didn't burn it either! ”

"You...... Do you know how many people you're going to kill like this? When the black-robed man learned that this was the case, he was furious.

It's just that there is no if in the world, and the letters that make them frightened have now been sent to the Heart Cultivation Hall by Du Ming, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and Wang Xiang.
