Qiusheng walked a few steps slowly, calmly faced, looked around, and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, our family is Qiusheng!" Under Gonggong Qiu, many of you should know our family, how about it? In it, feel good! ”

No one spoke, Qiu Sheng laughed a few times proudly, and said: "On weekdays, you are majestic, and you don't treat us as eunuchs at all, don't take it seriously, why are you not majestic now?" You deserve it, let you have no eyes, be self-righteous, go against us, wait, and slowly let Jinyiwei clean you up! ”

These people are about to be released, and he is making such a fuss, and I can't laugh or cry when I hear it.

Then, Qiusheng scolded these officials with guns and sticks, just like a shrew scolding the street, but he was full of emotion, a handful of snot and tears, and he must have been angry with a lot of these people.

These people looked at Qiusheng quietly, with fear and trepidation in their eyes, and of course, ridicule and inexplicability. I think of Bao Xiaobai's words, eunuchs are a very special group of people, they have strong self-esteem, and they are sensitive, and the suffering they suffer is not something that ordinary people can understand. They are no longer normal men, although they look at the eunuchs who live in the palace compound, four divisions, eight bureaus and twelve eunuchs, known as lieutenant officials, and the eunuchs who really have status, but there are only a few people, not to mention the eunuchs who can contact the emperor, there are even fewer eunuchs. The low-grade eunuchs are busy all day long, lacking the happiness of normal life, and they have to look at the face of the big eunuch to act, and if they make a slight mistake, the punishment is even more cruel. They are all children of poor families, and their submissive character determines that they live a very depressed life, although they hate the eunuchs who bully them in their hearts, but once they have power, they will immediately become other people, and they will bully the weak eunuchs just like their predecessors.

The edification of the Three Platforms and Five Constants made these courtiers who had read the Four Books and the Five Classics look down on eunuchs from their bones. Powerful courtiers would even reprimand and abuse them in public. It's just that the Ming Dynasty has created a group of eunuchs who can confront the courtiers, Wang Zhen, Wang Zhi, today's Liu Jin, the establishment of the East Factory and the West Factory, the eunuchs have no fear, and the emperor's order is at every turn, and many courtiers began to prostrate under their feet, because they suddenly found that no matter how talented they are, they are not as good as the people around the emperor.

Qiusheng scolded and scolded for a long time, and no one spoke at all, and these people looked at him blankly through the fence. I thought to myself that the longer he stayed, the easier it would be to have an accident, so I stepped forward and said, "Father-in-law Qiu, don't be angry, you can't get along with these people, don't hurt your body." Let's go out for tea, this kind of place, I don't usually come to this kind of place! ”

Qiusheng smiled and said: "Okay, I'm tired of scolding, these people usually don't eat oil and salt, they really think they are men who stand up to the sky, and when it is critical, they are all loose." As he spoke, he took me by the arm and walked out, and the strong smell of rouge soon made me confused.

I was secretly lucky, and my mind gradually became clearer, but I found that Qiusheng actually led me to the "Tian" cell, I instinctively thought that he would go to Wang Shouren, and hurriedly said: "Father-in-law, why did you come here?" Qiusheng's face changed, and he said: "I heard that in Jinyiwei Prison, the 'Tian' cell is better than ordinary people's homes, and I want to see it too." ”

"The 'Tian' cell is full of officials who are waiting for crimes, and there is no conviction of the crime, so naturally there is still a chance to go out, and I will be merciful to the emperor and arrange a good place for them!" I remembered Xiao Chengzi's words, so I said them in passing.

Qiusheng nodded, let go of the hand he was holding, took a few steps forward, took a closer look at the cell, and said, "It's so quiet here!" It seems that there are no officials in it. I heard that Li Mengyang also lived here in the past! ”

Li Mengyang, I have heard of it somehow, a native of Henan, a poor family since childhood, a Jinshi of the Hongzhi Dynasty, and the head of the household department. He is jealous and hateful, and he is upright, that is, he hated the arrogance of his cousin Jianchang Marquis Zhang Yanling at that time, and people dared not ask. He was not afraid of power, spoke bluntly, and wrote the famous "Ying Zhao Refers to Chen Shu", which directly stated the "two diseases, three evils, and six gradualities" of the times, and boldly exposed the crimes of Shouning Hou for "recruiting scoundrels, profiting from the people, seizing people's land, demolishing people's houses, capturing people's children, intercepting commercial goods, occupying salt classes, running rampant rivers, waving yellow flags, and being as powerful as a winged tiger", so he attracted the disaster of killing. With a bitter hatred for him, the Marquis of Shouning framed him in front of the emperor and the empress in every possible way, wanting him to be dismissed from his post and questioned, tortured, and the nobles were also eager to kill Li Mengyang and then quickly, of course Emperor Hongzhi did not allow it, and at the same time instructed the commander of Jinyiwei at that time to make Mu Bin treat Li Mengyang well. Emperor Hongzhi warned the Zhang brothers not to violate the "Da Ming Law" again, and then Li Mengyang was reinstated. Zhengde is in power, and Li Mengyang is already a member of the household. As soon as Qiusheng asked, I thought in my heart about the meaning of his words, but he said: "When Zi Shengming is today, there are indeed no new officials here. I came relatively late, and Master Li's affairs are really unclear! Qiusheng was a little disappointed and said: "He is a strange man of the Hongzhi Dynasty, and he scolds his relatives with blood, you don't even know!" His arrogance is beyond the reach of the world. ”

"Oh, it's so powerful, the emperor doesn't blame it?" I pretended to be puzzled.

"The first emperor is unpredictable, and we don't understand what he thinks, but this thorn is making trouble again today. This time, the spearhead is aimed at our family. ”

I was shocked when I heard it, only to hear Qiusheng say again: "Hubu Shangshu Hanwen wrote a letter to impeach the fathers-in-law, saying what the 'Eight Tigers', this Li Mengyang is even more fierce, saying that 'the emperor is wasted, and the public opinion in the world cannot be reached', the father-in-law is furious, this person is untrustworthy, and he can't help but clean him up." Originally, Dongchang could solve this matter, but this person has a good reputation, so he can only go to Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, so hey! ”

As he spoke, Qiusheng gave me a meaningful look, and I suddenly realized that there was no one else around. I hurriedly said, "Father-in-law, what do you command?" ”

Qiusheng smiled strangely and said in a low voice: "I know that you are a clever person, and I have to help you with this matter." Don't you have that Yang Hong in your hand, when you interrogated him, you implicated Li Mengyang and that Wang Shouren, so that they could be punished. ”

I was shocked, but I still smiled on my face: "How to handle it, please ask my father-in-law for advice!" Qiusheng took me a few steps and said slowly: "This is the edict, there are no outsiders, I came here, it is also the intention of the fathers-in-law, you want to let Yang Hong put his handprint on the confession, it is a great achievement." "Saying that, I actually took out a piece of paper from my arms, I began to think it would be a silver ticket, but it turned out to be a piece of paper, I opened it and looked, it turned out to be Yang Hong's 'confession', what kind of party for personal gain, framing the Eight Tigers, corrupt the law, 'confession', sure enough, there are Wang Shouren and Li Mengyang's names, but this 'confession' is not written by Yang Hong, how to convict?

I hesitated for a moment and said, "Father-in-law, there is no Yang Hong's signature on this, how can I hand it over?" Qiusheng laughed for a while and said, "It's up to you to do this, you did it, but it's a great achievement." My father-in-law and I are very optimistic about you! ”

At this time, someone came in outside, it was Qiusheng's entourage, and he whispered a few words in his ear, Qiusheng said: "My Qiu Ye is back, I won't accompany you anymore, I'll come to see you again when I'm free!" As he spoke, he threw a wink at me and turned away.

Looking at Qiusheng's graceful figure, the confession in my hand became heavier and heavier, and I felt my throat tighten, almost out of breath. "At the end of winter, the mountains are full of snow, and the flowers are full of flowers at the beginning of spring. The white gulls bathe in the clear stream, and the yellow black spring green trees. Looking for changes in the blink of an eye, how can life be long. So that I can go from my party to the east bay of the fishing rod. Someone chanted softly, it was that Wang Shouren, I actually forgot him, but listening to this poem, I became more and more in a trance.

Zuifeng Lou is in the noisy street market, and near the restaurant, it is the more lively Goldfish Alley. At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizu, who had never had enough snacks, always advocated the prohibition of alcohol for fear of wasting food. As the dynasty became more and more stable, it gradually changed its proposition, and the world was edicted, and the sea was peaceful, and the people should be happy. The Ministry of Industry quickly built 16 buildings outside the Jiangdong Zhumen in Nanjing, such as "Crane Song", "Drunken Immortal", "Acura", "Drum Belly" and "Guest". Among them, the second floor of the guest and retranslation is also dedicated to entertaining foreign envoys. In order to encourage his subjects to go to the restaurant to consume, prosperous Nanjing, Emperor Taizu often let civil and military officials feast and drink in the drunken immortal building for free. And he often goes to private visits, not only to big restaurants, but also small wine shops where he frequents, drinking and inscribed, such as the old Heijia store we often go to.
