Unexpectedly, as soon as Chen Xiang came out of the Chonghua Palace, a little eunuch was ordered by the Queen Mother to come and summon him.

Chen Xiang's heart blossomed, but there was a sincere and fearful expression on his face.

Following the little eunuch to the Yinghua Palace, Chen Xiang saluted, and the Empress Dowager Sun scolded with a slap on her face: "Chen Xiang, you are really bold."

Dare to instigate Gong Rang Emperor to summon the imperial concubine again, you look at yourself as the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi, and the palace will not dare to deal with you, right? ”

Chen Xiang didn't plead, just kowtowed and pleaded guilty.

This stumped the Empress Dowager Sun, Chen Xiang was not only the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch, but also the emperor's cronies, and it was really difficult for him to deal with it.

Helpless, Empress Dowager Sun could only curse back and forth, but Chen Xiang only kowtowed from beginning to end, not stubbornly.

In the end, Empress Dowager Sun had to let Chen Xiang go.

As soon as Chen Xiang came out of the Yinghua Palace, Empress Dowager Sun glanced at Gao Ping: "Gao Ping, you have been working very hard recently, and the palace will also give you a few days off, go out and relax." ”

Gao Ping understood and hurriedly saluted and retired.

Chen Xiang slowly arrived at the West Fifth Institute, and Gao Ping caught up from behind.

Zhu Qizhen ordered Chen Xiang to win over Gao Ping and make his own eyeliner; Empress Dowager Sun ordered Gao Ping to woo Chen Xiang and make her own eyeliner.

It was a coincidence, and both sides thought of going together.

Empress Dowager Sun already had eyeliner in Nangong, but there were not enough of them, and there were often gaps in the monitoring of Emperor Gongrang.

Therefore, it is also very meaningful to be able to win over Chen Xiang.

Gao Ping and Chen Xiang walked together, complaining to each other that their errands were difficult.

As soon as they walked outside the Xuanwu Gate, the two were already brothers and sisters, and they were pitiful to each other.

Both of them are eunuchs who are eunuchs and eunuchs, so they are very harmonious, so Chen Xiang proposed: "It's still so early, and there is nothing to do when you go home." Why don't we go and pick up the sky tower for a drink?

Then let's go to the Goddess's Pavilion and listen to Miss Xi'er play a little tune, wouldn't it be happy. ”

Gao Ping knew that Chen Xiang had been scolded by the Queen Mother for a long time, and he needed to spend some money to vent. People were holding their stomachs for a while, and of course they couldn't spoil the fun anymore, so they smiled and said:

"Gong Chen has been wronged, and he must give his younger brother a chance today. All the envoy fees for the night are wrapped up in the younger brother. ”

Chen Xiang hurriedly waved his hand: "Brother is looking down on the foolish brother when he says this, not long after you became a eunuch of Bingbi, how much property can you save."

Let's play in the Heavenly Tower and the Goddess Pavilion for one night, and we can't beat a thousand taels of silver. ”

When Gao Ping heard this, his mouth opened wide in surprise. I really haven't been there, and this night, I will spend a little eunuch's salary for a lifetime.

Chen Xiang was very satisfied when he saw Gao Ping's appearance that he had never seen the world, and hurriedly pulled Gao Ping and smiled: "Don't think about those troubles, go, the foolish brother will take you to a long time."

Everything is wrapped up in the foolish brother tonight, and the brother looks down on the foolish brother again. ”

Seeing this, Gao Ping no longer shirked. The two went to pick up the Tianlou for dinner, and then came to the goddess pavilion on the side to listen to Li Xi'er singing.

Chen Xiang said very conservatively, in fact, the two of them listened to Li Xi'er sing a little song for a night, and it cost 1,000 taels.

In order to win over Gao Ping, Chen Xiang ordered two more stunning beauties to accompany him.

In one night, it cost a total of 1,700 taels.

Early the next morning, Gao Ping walked out of the Goddess Pavilion in a daze, shook his head and praised: "No wonder Mingyufang is called the Pinjin Cave, this silver flower is like flowing water, it's too scary." ”

Since the negotiation had been reached last night, Chen Xiang took Gao Ping to the small courtyard he had already prepared.

Chen Xiang successfully gave the small courtyard and the silver to Gao Ping, and both of them completed the task.

Gao Ping agreed to deliver the news to Emperor Gongrang, and Chen Xiang agreed to monitor Nangong for the Empress Dowager.

The good inner court has been deceived and spy.

Chen Xiang didn't know that Gao Ping was Zhu Qiyu's person, and Gao Ping didn't know that Chen Xiang was Zhu Qiyu's person.

The two didn't know that most of the money they spent yesterday had gone into Zhu Qiyu's pocket.

At noon, Zhu Qiyu was crooked on the couch, checking the secret report collected today.

When he saw that Gao Ping and Chen Xiang spent more than a thousand taels of silver in one night in the Goddess Pavilion, Zhu Qiyu himself was not calm.

Zhu Qiyu had never read the account book before, and he didn't know that the price was so high, so he couldn't help but sigh sincerely: "Our industries are too profitable." ”

Qianxue shook her head: "There's no way, our brand is hard." Some time ago, the slave family bought the houses and vacant land around the Heavenly Tower and the Goddess Pavilion, and we built two more attics to expand the scale of the industry. ”

Zhu Qiyu asked curiously, "When did you buy the land?" How did I not know? ”

Qianxue teased: "Husband, you are really embarrassed to ask, even around the Chinese New Year, during that time, the other sisters were pregnant, and we were not yet old, and then you spoiled Ning Xiang alone, and hung on her every day and refused to come down."

You yourself also deliberately emphasized that you should not tell you a word about all household chores, you don't want to hear it, and you don't want to know. ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded embarrassedly: "Yes, yes, yes, I said it." The widow is wrong, and the widow pays the mother a lot. ”

Qianxue smiled: "Husband, pay attention, the content of Wei Shangshu's previous recital has been spread in the community. I heard that you are going to carry out a capital inspection and a grand plan, and the civil and military officials are not very happy.

And if you want to return the right to election to the ministry, many ministers are very resistant.

Husband, you're in big trouble. ”

When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he fell on the soft couch and sighed on his back: "I want to make some contributions to the Ming Dynasty and do something practical for the people, why is it so difficult."

Obviously I'm a normal person, why is there a lot of 205 chasing after me and scolding me for being mentally ill! ”

There are some things that can't be said explicitly, and Zhu Qiyu himself is speechless: Sanyang fooled Xuanzong into what kind of guarantee system, even if it was forgotten, he didn't bother to talk about them.

The problem is that the grandchildren of Xuanzong, Yingzong, Xianzong, and Xiaozong are all staunch supporters of the Baoju system, which is too head-scratching.

There is also a very strange place here that the historical Jingtai was in favor of Quanxuan.

Therefore, Jingtai and the emperors before and after him seem incompatible.

Zhu Qiyu shook his head helplessly, he finally had something in common with the Jingtai Emperor in history.

Generally speaking, in the various periods of the Ming Dynasty, the cabinet and the six ministries were secretly fighting for power.

For example, during the Sanyang period, the competition between the cabinet and the ministry for the power to select officials was very typical.

The most typical situation of the cabinet's victory is Zhang Juzheng, who is the first assistant, and is like a regent.

The most typical situation of the victory of the six ministries is Yu Qian in history, a military secretary, who overwhelmed the cabinet.

And Zhu Qiyu himself chose to engage in balance. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the temporary and significant reduction of the power of the cabinet after the three yangs; Taking advantage of the civil fort, many important ministers unfortunately died in the country; The substitute ministry snatched back the power of the election.

It is quite strange that the emperor personally went down and took the initiative to participate in the power struggle between the cabinet and the six ministries.

Seeing that her husband was sad and bleak, she almost wanted to cry, so she quickly changed the topic to a relaxed topic: "Husband, take a look, the master of ceremonies has sent the renovation plan of Renshou Palace." ”

Zhu Qiyu asked angrily: "I won't watch it, just say what they want to do." ”

"Because Wang Cheng is in charge of the seal of the internal official supervisor, but he was sent out by his husband on an errand, and no one is in charge of the internal official supervisor. Therefore, the repair of Renshou Palace was discussed by the celebrant and the celebrants.

If you don't like to read the drawings, forget it, and the materials for building the palace can be borrowed from other palaces according to your wishes.

The plan given by the celebrant is to demolish the Qin'an Palace in the Imperial Garden, as well as the Changchun Palace and Xianfu Palace in the West Sixth Palace area.

Do you want to agree? ”

When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he asked curiously: "Who are these people who are the celebrants?" After the Qianqing Palace was burned down, Queen Qian temporarily lived in Changchun Palace.

As a result, as soon as the family moved out, you have to tear down the palace where she lived, isn't it too shameless? ”

Qianxue said with a smile: "You see that they are afraid that a few powerful people will have opinions, so it is clearly written in the notebook, Chen Xiang's plan for the demolition of the old palace was seconded by Xing'an, Wang Jin, Ruan Lang, Ruan Xi, and Cao Jixiang, and other Bingbi did not object." Then I reported to my husband. ”

"Oh, then I see. It was the widow's eldest brother Gong who asked the emperor to demolish the Changchun Palace. The infighting in the imperial city is really dizzying. ”
