One hundred and ninetieth eight chapters, the capital is full of strong winds
The ministers knelt down and stood up subconsciously, waiting for the emperor to ask for it as usual. Unexpectedly, Wanli said this and everyone was on the ground again.
"You asked Lian to drive Wang Tong out of the capital. I will do as I do. But Ji Tong was intercepted and killed halfway through, so I was not Lian's newcomer, and I will send him out of the city and someone to kill him?"
That's so heavy, even if you help Zhang Juzheng, you can only bow with everyone and defend yourself.
"I don't dare to do so. Your Ping investigates it in detail!"
"How dare I check it out in detail? My dear ministers and loyal kings and kings. If you want to kill Wang Tong, it must be in line with the principles of the saint. The great way of the world will not like anyone in the future. Even if you send someone out of the city to kill them, Lian will never ask. Lian dare not ask, otherwise "huh!"
After hearing the little emperor's words, Feng Bao and Zhang Cheng, who were standing behind, did not care about the difference between the monarch and the ministers. After a few steps, he pulled the little emperor's sleeves. Emperor Wanli stopped his words and sneered a few times.
"Lian is exhausted today, so I will go back to the palace first. Please decide for yourself in the major affairs of the world!"
The little emperor came to the court meeting today, but he didn't even sit down. After saying a few words, he left directly. Listening to the eunuchs outside the door, everyone reacted.
Feng Bao, the eunuch in charge of the Sili Supervisor, was behind a few steps behind, and the ministers got up from the ground. Zhang Juzheng did not care about the other people's faces. He hurriedly chased to the door and whispered:
"Eunuch Feng,"
Feng Bao reached out and swung his hand slightly, and said in a low voice:
"We have to report to the Empress Dowager about this matter. Mr. Zhang asked the people around you whether anyone wants to seek credit or rewards to do this. Regardless of whether there is any, I will give our family a message first. It will not be too late to make a mistake."
Zhang Juzheng bowed his fists and did not continue to speak.
Feng Bao left Wenyuan Pavilion, but did not return to the Silijian's duty room. Instead, he took a soft sedan chair and left the palace from the east gate. Near the east gate, many of the eunuchs' houses were here, and he could come here from time to time to live in, and meet his relatives and confidants outside the palace.
As soon as the sedan chair was about to take the house, the housekeeper respectfully accompanied Feng Bao to the main hall. When a middle-aged man dressed in a blue double-breasted robe saw Feng Bao coming, he immediately paid a visit. After Feng Bao walked in, he stood in front of the man and did not ask him to get up, and asked calmly:
"Feng Jin, do you know the incident that Wang Tong encountered?"
"I only learned about this morning when I returned to the factory."
"Is it related to you?"
The middle-aged man quickly kowtowed again and said respectfully:
"If the factory has no order, the small ones who are too brave to do such things, even if they have the courage to do so, the people from the East Factory have been sent out, and there will be rewards within five days."
"When you have news, please inform us as soon as possible, and don't tell others."
After saying that, Feng Bao turned around and went out. The man on the ground was kneeling and not moving. He dared to get up from the ground until the footsteps were gone. Feng Jin, the commander of the execution of a thousand households in the East Factory, was also a person shaking his feet in the capital. When he saw the Minister of Justice, he was just a high-ranking official holding his fists and saluting in front of Feng Bao, as if he was a slave in his family.
Zhang Cheng reviewed several memorandums in the duty room. Li Chengliang, the general of Liao Town, reported that the grassland was storm this year, and many cattle and horses were killed and injured by Tumote's oxen and horses, and the Jurchens outside the pass also showed signs of instability. He asked the court to allocate food, pay, and soldiers and horses to prepare early.
Li Chengliang likes to complain. He doesn't know how much money he has made over the years, but his ability to fight is always valued by the court.
Moreover, the details on the grassland are reported by many merchants who come and go on the grassland. It is also the truth and should be prepared early. However, this is the first-class military and national affairs. The eunuch in charge of the seal and the cabinet are involved. Zhang Cheng cannot make a decision. He put a few red pen on it and put it on the left and pressed it with silver paper. The most important memorials are placed there. If Feng Bao comes over, Zhang Cheng will send it there. If Zhang Cheng is not here, and there are eunuchs in the hall to submit it. This is also the rule of the Silijian.
When I was reading the second note, I heard a burst of footsteps running in. Recently, Zhang Cheng became familiar with the sound. It was Zhao Jinliang, a child with no smile.
This child heard about the disaster at home. He was so young that he came in. He was very young but had a calm temperament that was not in line with his age. Zhang Cheng liked this child very much and repeatedly told Gao Yi to take good care of him.
All the memos and posts sent by Zhao Jinliang were probably given to Zhang Cheng specifically by Gao Yi, and it was the first important news.
Zhao Jinliang tiptoed to put the note on Zhang Cheng's desk, lowered his head and lowered his hands until he stepped out. Zhang Cheng picked up the note and looked at it a few times, his expression moved, he put it on the note, greeted several eunuchs in the hall, got up and went out.
The sedan chair carried by the eunuchs in the palace was extremely stable. When the eunuchs carrying the sedan chair trotted, the people sitting in the sedan chair could not feel the bumps.
After Feng Bao left the palace once, he immediately rushed back to the palace and came to attract the palace, where the palace of the Han Sheng Empress Dowager Li, he managed the money that the emperor had earned today in his mind. He told Empress Dowager Li in his original form.
After listening to Feng Bao's statement, Empress Dowager Li's face turned cold and she said in a deep voice:
"The children have left the capital, why are there still people staring at me? Is there no emperor in my eyes? Is there no empress dowager Ai's family?"
After hearing what Empress Dowager Li said seriously, Feng Bao quickly knelt down and reported:
"Empress, the news I received from me is that Wang Tong sent someone to send a memorial to His Majesty for help, and was passed on by Eunuch Zhang. The memorial should not be said in the end that the officers and soldiers were pretending to be thieves, or the local thieves."
The chill on Empress Dowager Li's face became heavier and his voice became colder:
"The capital is in the capital, and the emperor's residence is surrounded by such arrogant thieves. What do the guards and military generals do? What are so many soldiers and soldiers in Hejian Prefecture and Shuntian Prefecture? If the officers and soldiers pretend to be thieves, they are intentions to cause trouble. If the thieves rage, they are the place that is not effective and they must be handled."
Having said that, Feng Bao could only kowtow to receive the order. Empress Dowager Li's tone became more and more sensible, but the content of the words became more and more powerful.
"Old Zhang Ge's greetings, for the sake of the emperor's good and for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, the Ai family agreed to some unruly things. Wang Tong is just a child, has a good heart and has no mistakes after spending a year with His Majesty. He is just a little more playful. It would be fine to drive out of the capital. If anyone really fainted in order to please you and Mr. Zhang Ge's good luck, the Ai family would not allow him." Feng Bao no longer dared to stand up, so he could only say one sentence from above and kowtowed down. Empress Dowager Li saw him like this and sighed and said in a low voice:
"Get up, you are also the seat of the inner court. Don't fold your face in front of me and say hello to everyone who should say hello inside and outside. It is also right to do things out of public interest, but you also need to know that the world belongs to the Zhu family and the emperor. Whoever is the master of the family needs to understand."
Zhang Cheng took the note to the emperor's study room. When he was in the corridor, the little eunuch served him and took the shawl. He whispered to the person at the door."
"What is Master Long live to do?"
"Reply to Eunuch Zhang's words, when I went in to deliver tea, I saw Master Long live with this book and smiling at the windowsill,"
Isn’t this just being distracted by reading a book? Zhang Cheng shook his head in wonder, and after singing a loud noise outside, he walked in quietly.
The study was very warm. Emperor Wanli was holding a book in his hand, with a smile on his face, but his eyes were not on the book. When he saw Zhang Cheng coming in, he shook his head and seemed to be distracted.
Zhang Cheng turned around and closed the door. The little emperor Wanli said with some emotion behind him:
"I just studied, Lian unknowingly thought about what happened in the martial arts hall. Lian, Wang Tong and the three Hutou." He fought like a big fight with other schools, and ran all over the field. If the Hutou hadn't protected Lian, Lian would have been beaten and kicked for a while. Less than a year has passed, but it seems that it was a long time ago.
After saying this, Zhang Cheng had a new estimate of Wang Tong's weight in Wanli's heart, and stepped forward and whispered:
"Long lively, Wang Tong has sent another message just now, and it was an hour and a half away from the letter above. It said that the second group of people who came to attack saw that they were nearby officers and soldiers, one of whom was called "Master Zhang""
"With a loud bang, the tea bowl of Shanghaoguan Kiln was smashed by Emperor Wanli." The emperor's face had turned pale, and his face had become very ferocious and terrifying at this moment. He almost gritted his teeth and said:
"Check it!! Check it carefully for the Union!"
Zhang Cheng waved his hand to let the eunuchs and guards rushing in, and reported in a low voice:
"Wang Tong led his men to defeat all the nearly five hundred people, but the people in the convoy had nothing to do with it.
The little emperor's expression calmed down a little, leaned against the back of the chair and said with a gloomy face:
"I didn't expect that, I couldn't expect that the confidant who could use officers and soldiers to rob the killing alliance was really not sure whether this was the country of my Ming Dynasty. All the yamen of Zhang, Dongchang, Jinyiwei, Shuntian Mansion, and Hejian Mansion were sent out to investigate. When there was news, I immediately reported it. I had to deal with it strictly. I would just drop some of my head and realize it was amazing."
Zhang Cheng quickly bowed to receive the order and said:
"I will go to pass the order now. According to the will of the Lord, Long Xiang left guard has lined up five hundred cavalry and rushed over, and the battalion officer Demp is also a capable person."
Seeing Wanli nodding, Zhang Cheng turned around and was about to go out. He heard the little emperor whisper:
"The news from the East Factory is with Feng Daban. The news from the Jinyiwei is with Mr. Zhang. Use your own relationship to check it, and use the Public Security Department!"
