Chapter 99: Cold Blood (4)

Ning Boyang looked at me, when I first came in, I felt that this place was shabby, and after looking carefully, there were indeed no objects, it can be seen that the life of this owner is not easy, and there is a little pity in my heart, maybe it is because I can always meet rich and noble people, and this Lord Yang seems to be a weak scholar, nodded at the moment, and said: "Yes, since Lord Yang knows why we came, it is not difficult for us to wait for you, we will go to the study and wait for you!" ”

As he spoke, only Ning Boyang was left by his side, and the rest of the people retreated. I walked into the study and found that it was very small, but the books were piled up, and there was a painting hanging on the wall, which was a birthday boy giving peaches, which was extremely ordinary, and I doubted in my heart, Yang Hong must have been born as a scholar, and he was an official who passed the imperial examination, how could he hang this kind of painting. And the bookcase was also stacked with books and pen and ink, and I saw that there was a piece of paper full of words, which seemed to be unfinished, and the handwriting was strong and powerful.

When I read what I wrote, I was taken aback, and the prescription was actually a tonic prescription, but the medicinal materials were not precious ginseng, deer antler velvet, etc., but were replaced by ordinary vegetables.

I was amused in my heart, Ning Boyang thought I had found something important, so I hurried over, I showed him the list, he frowned, and said, "Is this a recipe?" I couldn't help laughing and said, "This is a prescription, for example, radish ventilation, ginger is spicy!" Ning Boyang pursed his lips and said, "I forgot, you used to be Langzhong!" ”

After a while, Yang Hong walked in neatly dressed and said, "Two adults, we can go!" I was puzzled by everything here, and couldn't help asking, "Lord Yang, are you prescribing a prescription?" Yang Hong said: "Xiaguan has an eighty-year-old mother, who should have lived with her son for a long time, but Xiaguan's family is poor, and he is worried about his mother's body, so he found some medical books, studied them by himself, and used these things that can usually be bought, seasoned well, and given them to his mother." ”

I nodded and said, "I have long heard that Lord Yang is a filial son, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation!" Yang Hong waved his hand and said: "The old mother has suffered too much in her life, and as a son, you should honor your mother, this is a natural truth, filial piety and virtuous grandchildren are given by outsiders, and it has nothing to do with me." ”

Ning Boyang listened and sneered: "Lord Yang, I am afraid that your own crime will involve your old mother and family, since you have this filial piety, why do you have to do this?" ”

Yang Hong laughed and said, "There is a way in the sky, and the sun and the moon shuttle." There is righteousness in the world, and good and evil are self-purifying. Emperor Taizu learned from the previous generation of eunuchs to interfere in politics, and has already established the rule that 'internal servants are not allowed to interfere in politics', and the current emperor is young and blinded by the Eight Tigers, but we as courtiers, we can't sit idly by, this is also what courtiers should do. ”

He said quite generously, I saw that the hour was not early, stopped him and said, "We are just ordered to take Lord Yang to the Zhenfu Division, if you have anything to say, wait there to talk about it." Please! ”

Yang Hong was not polite, strode out, and met Mrs. Yang, she brought a bowl of ginger soup, and said softly: "Xianggong, please drink ginger soup and warm up." You came back from duty and you haven't eaten yet! ”

Yang Hong took the ginger soup and said, "Mother, can you drink it?" ”

"Mother is still resting!"

"Well, when Mother wakes up, you must feed her. I won't quit, but if my mother asks, she will say that I was on a business trip. ”

"Don't worry, I will take care of both the mother and the child, you have to take care of it!" Mrs. Yang is affectionate, but her words are ordinary.

I sighed in my heart, Yang Hong went to Zhenfu Si this time, but he was afraid that there would be more luck and less luck.

We got out of Yang's house, many neighbors on the street came out to watch, Yang Hong raised his head forward, Mrs. Yang followed behind, Xia Yuchun saw it, waved his hand, and the two arresters quickly carried the torture instrument forward, wanting to put it on Yang Hong, I waved my hand and stopped: "These are not needed." Yang Hong glanced at me and nodded slightly, at this time, two children ran up from behind, hugged Yang Hong, and shouted again and again: Father!

It turned out to be a pair of children of Yang Hong, all of whom were about ten years old, and their voices were mixed with crying, which made people listen to it, a little unbearable, Yang Hong stroked the top of the child's head, and said slowly: "Hua'er, Qing'er, my father went to the yamen to do some official business, you don't want to do this!" The slightly older Hua'er said: "Father, you are lying, in the past, when you went out, you were all alone, there are so many uncles here today, there must be something, you have to take care of yourself!" Yang Hong laughed and said: "Father's good Hua'er, you are also a big child, when your father is not at home, help your mother do some housework, take your younger brother well, and be filial to your grandmother!" ”

Mrs. Yang walked over, grabbed the two children, and said, "Xianggong, please rest assured, I will take care of them, you, you also take care, in a few days, I will go to see you." Yang Hong nodded, Mrs. Yang looked at me again, and said with a deep salute: "This superior, please take more care of my father-in-law!" ”

I didn't speak, just nodded, then looked at the hour, and said, "Let's go!" Xia Yuchun ran over and said, "Lord Qianhu, according to the regulations, you need to copy his house!" Ning Boyang, who was not far away, also nodded at me, I waved my hand, and said, "The family is surrounded by four walls, what else can we copy?" Get back! ”

Xia Yuchun said loudly: Yes! Someone had already led the horse, I turned over on the horse, looked at the people around me, and hurriedly glanced at the crowd, but saw that Sixth Brother Ping and Shu'er in the crowd were standing there and watching!

As we expected, the courtiers who came with great interest, as soon as they went to the early court, found that the atmosphere was not right, not only the palace guards had increased a lot, but all the officials were blocked from the Fengtian Gate, saying that there was a holy decree to be read. Everyone talked about it, and their eyes were on the three cabinet elders and the Hanwen of the household department. Xie Qian motioned for everyone to calm down, he felt that there would be no change with the celebrant inside, but Li Dongyang was full of sadness and faintly uneasy. Soon, a little eunuch came out to announce his will, but it turned out that there was nothing to do today, and it was canceled as soon as possible.

The officials were greatly disappointed, and the overnight expectation came to naught, how to be willing? They all shouted to see the emperor. Xie Qian and others felt that the emperor had been thinking about his emotions for many years and favored and protected the Eight Tigers, so the crowd was excited and wanted to see the emperor. At this time, a large number of Dongchang and Jinyi guards came to everyone with the eight tigers in new clothes, Liu Jin walked in front and said to Xie Qian Hanwen: "Two adults, do you want our family to leave the capital?" Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this situation already means that Liu Jin is in control of the situation, and Han Wen responded: "If the disaster is not removed, the world will not be at peace!" ”

Liu Jin laughed and said, "I really don't know, who is the scourge of the Ming Dynasty." In this case, there is nothing we can do. Immediately, he ordered the little eunuch to read the decree. In short, the eunuch Wang Yue and the eunuch Fan Li, the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch, formed a party for personal gain, colluded with hundreds of officials, interfered in court politics, went to Nanjing to guard the filial piety mausoleum, and temporarily escorted them into the East Factory. The cabinet scholars Xie Qian, Liu Jian, and Li Dongyang, as the head of the hundred officials, were blinded by the fallacies, and blindly went to the book, which made the court chaotic, and read the lonely ministers in the first emperor's trust, and was cautious in doing things on weekdays, and did not pursue them for the time being, so as to see the after-effects. The rest of the officials, who were blinded for a while, indiscriminately ordered the heads of various ministries to reprimand and teach and not pursue them again.

When the officials heard the decree, they were in an uproar. Eyes brushed on the three elders, and the indignant Xie Qian and Liu Jian immediately submitted their resignations and returned to their hometowns, followed by Li Dongyang and others also submitted their resignations.

Liu Jin was not flustered, and ordered someone to take out a holy decree to agree to the resignation of Xie Qian, Liu Jian and others, but he did not mention anything to Li Dongyang. At the same time, Jiao Fang was appointed as a Cabinet Scholar. The rest of the officials, Liu Jin said with a smile: "Since you refuse to listen to the chief official, then you don't have to rush back to your hometown, our family is ordered by the emperor, you are all ministers of the humerus of the Ming Dynasty, working hard for state affairs, and leaving easily, it is really ashamed, for the time being, let Dongchang protect you first, do enough courtesy, and then send you home safely!" ”

Then, without waiting for everyone to react, Liu Jin read out an edict again, restoring the West Factory, with Gu Dayong as the factory father, and the East Factory as Ma Yongcheng.

I nodded in surprise, he was really smart, I couldn't help but think in my heart, how good it would be if he could help me, he said to the end, look at my appearance, couldn't help laughing, and said: "You don't look at me like this, I organize documents every day, of course I know many things." ”

I said to myself, "If I believe, there is nothing under the heavens."
