Chapter 47 The old cicada hissed the sound of a wheel (2)

"Shuixin! Something happened to the East Palace!"

Not long after Xiang Yu returned home, a friend of the same year rushed over to report the news. When he heard that "there was an accident in the East Palace", he trembled.

Not fear, but excitement!

This is the end of disrespect for virtuous people!

Reason soon returned to his mind, Xiang Yuzhensheng said: "I just returned from the outer residence of the East Palace. What can happen to the East Palace? I'm afraid it's a false news."

"The guards of the East Palace killed Chen Jiabao, the governor of Tongzheng Department!"

"What!" Xiang Yu slapped the table, with a surprise in his voice: "It's actually something like this!"

He killed the imperial officials without permission! What kind of domineering behavior is this! The guards of the Eastern Palace even dared to kill officials! The emperor would kill whoever he wanted without the power!

Although the Emperor Ming did not say that the scholars and officials were not killed like the Song Dynasty, there were not many scholars and officials who were actually killed after the Second Patriarch. If we really counted it, Emperor Chongzhen's hard-working skills would probably be able to make a name for themselves.

However, even so, as an official, the prince cannot kill him. This is challenging the entire civil servant group. If someone is innocently killed today, who can still be an official in the future? Will he have to return to the terrifying rule of Emperor Taizu Gao?

Xiang Yu shouted: "Beijing!" His expression looked quite like a general wearing a ward, and he was ready to go out with a high fighting spirit.

With a sized tube in his hand, Xiang Yu was filled with energy, like a famous general holding a sword, setting up a formation in his heart, pointing to the battlefield. He closed his eyes slightly and concentrated, smelled the fragrance of ink gradually swaying from the air, spread the paper, and put it on the green bamboo arm, and placed it under his forearm. Turning his wrist, he started the pen against the tip, and the center force penetrated the back of the paper, and for a moment, there was only a sound of a tip passing through the paper.

"Since I was given the grace of the holy minister, I was trembling as if I was on the abyss and walking on thin ice. I hope I can live up to the entrusted masters, conquering my loyalty and diligently, and good at cultivating the foundation of the country. However, if someone is arrogant and instigated to the sequel to the sequel, wouldn't I be shocked when I first heard about it? I found out that it was a matter of this. When I heard about it, I was heartbroken, but I couldn't bear to see it. I thought Huiwen broke the law and took Zhao Qian to be punished. This was the ancients who protected the foundation of the country and corrected their actions. I was responsible for the position of the Zhan Mansion. How could I escape from the crime? Therefore, I asked Your Majesty to strictly enforce the laws and regulations and give me the death penalty."

Xiang Yu finished it in one go, without adding any more words to the article. He only felt that his problem was really brilliant, and his passion was renewed. He turned his head and wrote:

"Do you regret death? But the mistake of the Eastern Palace is the first to accompany the ministers! On October 17, the 15th year of Chongzhen, the emperor finished his lecture on the previous day and discussed the matter of lectures with his ministers. He wrote the "Eight Articles of the Imperially Designated Officials" by himself, saying: Do not be separated from each other; said: Do not make friends with a minister; said: Do not be deceived and scared; said: Do not be rude; said: Do not be polite; said: Do not be polite; said: Do not be polite; said: Do not be rude to prevent and be rude; said: Do not be rude; said: Do not be ungrateful; said: Do not be ungrateful; said: Do not be ungrateful; said: Do not be ungrateful; said: Do not be ungrateful; and you should be separated from the inside and outside; you should be careful when entering and leaving.

"This matter has only been a few years. I was in the last seat at that time, and the sound was still in my ears. Now that the women's temple communicates, the outside and the inside are living, how can I get rid of the filthy and chaotic things? I think the prince is young, he is as innocent as a jade, pure and unaware of human affairs, and is being misled by Tian Cunshan. How can he be exaggerated? I would like to kill Tian Cunshan to make the inner court clear and quiet!"

"The concubine's son Wu Weiye is the same as his crime! The Wu family's talent and priests are great, and they are promoted year by year. However, they will flatter the eunuchs and go in and out of the internal bans according to the differences between foreign ministers. They will not correct their experiences and indulge them blindly. They will be poisonous to the eunuch party and the famous sinners! If they do not kill such treacherous villains, the gangsters who are against the case will inevitably make a secret plan in the ghost world!..."

...

The Zhan Shi Mansion has become a relocated official for Hanlin officials, which can also be understood as the Hanlin Academy has an extra sign. Whether it is Xiang Yu, Wu Weiye, or Li Mingrui, they are still working in Hanlin Academy. In such a large courtyard, a turmoil will spread quickly, and there is no secret at all.

Those who serve as "Feng" are those who are not as good as the literary office of the clerks.

Officials often say "report", but in fact they are talking about hearing from civil servants.

"Master Li, I heard that after Xiang Yu came back, he was writing a memorial to impeach the East Palace." A wind blew into Zuo Zhongyun and Li Mingrui's ears.

"Be serious?" Li Zhongyun did not believe it deeply. Although there are times when rumors come true, the probability is 55, and we must not believe it or believe it all.

"It has spread a long time ago! I'm afraid you are the only one who doesn't know." The wind continued to blow, "It was said that Xiang Yu went to the outer residence of the East Palace to seek an official position, but Wu Weiye took the blame from it, causing him to be driven out by the prince, so he accumulated grudges. It just so happened that the guards of the East Palace killed the governor of Tongzheng Department during martial law. In addition, Wu Weiye and the eunuch and the palace maid were mixed together, so he used this as an excuse to impeach Wu Weiye to make friends with the inner temple and ban the palace."

Since Li Mingrui was caught talking badly about the prince behind his back, he has never dared to show up. If it weren't for the current pride of the Spring and Autumn Period, he might have requested to be released. Although there are losses in the minor qualities, he is the "capable official" recommended by the official. After a moment of mind, he has already felt a sense of responsibility in his heart and said to himself: Wu Weiye is the material for writing poetry and essays. Not to mention that he and Xiang Yu have not had any qualities, even if there is a qualities, he will not be able to do anything.

As for Xiang Yu, he would definitely not be stupid enough to impeach the Eastern Palace. That would be even more stupid than scolding the emperor himself. However, groundless things may not be without cause, so you should not be careless. Li Mingrui knew that his benefactor had close contact with the Eastern Palace, but others did not know, but he knew very well: the prince had joined the Zuodu Censor on the first day of leaving the palace. Because of this relationship, he had to stand on the side of the Eastern Palace no matter what, whether it succeeded or not, even if the Eastern Palace was banned by the emperor, he would at least have exposed the past holidays and leave a good relationship.

If you follow Xiang Yu and his group of people to make trouble, or just pretend to be deaf and dumb, there is no benefit if you win, and if you lose, it will be abandoned by both humans and gods!

Li Mingrui made a secret plan, found a reason, and walked to the study in the Hanlin Courtyard. There was a place where Hanlin documents were stored. No one went there on weekdays unless it was to find some materials. Now there were only two or three old civil servants on the turn, guarding the warehouse and copying some things.

Li Mingrui arrived at the backyard, pushed the door into the warehouse and entered, and felt relieved. The person he was looking for happened to be on duty, so the matter was mostly done.

"Mr. Zhang." Li Mingrui stepped forward and bowed.

The old civil servant looked at the age of sixty, and looked up when he heard this. He was startled and was startled. He quickly stood up and bowed and said, "What are the instructions of the master?"

"Mr. Zhang," Li Mingrui smiled, "I, Li Mingrui, have some things to tell you."

The Ming Dynasty class had long penetrated into every level of social life, and titles could not be abused. It was not easy for Li Mingrui to be humble with a low-level clerk as a Jinshi.

"Mr. Li, please tell me." The old man Zhang said.

"Li Suzhi has a treasure in the Hanlin Academy, and he is talking about Mr. Zhang."

"A young man from a certain family who failed the exams can't afford to praise the master." Mr. Zhang waved his hands repeatedly.

"Mr. is not satisfied with the imperial examination, but it is fate. How can I know it is not the story of Jiang Taigong?" Li Mingrui smiled and said, "Li is good at mahjong's art and can see the popularity. Now I just happened to learn about it. It was Mr. who took advantage of the good fortune of the wind to the Qingxiao to report good news!"

Mr. Zhang’s name is strange in poetry, but unfortunately he is not worthy of his reputation, and he has no talent in poetry and prose. His family is also a wealthy family, and he can support him in the imperial examinations. It’s a pity that “no articles are discussed in the imperial examinations”. His literary fortune is not good. After he was a juren at the age of 20, he could not make any further progress and finally chose to be a clerk in the Hanlin Academy.

If he has anything unwilling to accept this life, he cannot get a noble family, a wife and a son, and a title for his parents and ancestors.

"I dare to ask sir, where is the joy from the old man?" Zhang Shiqi asked nervously.

"Xiang Yu and Xiang Shuixin." Li Mingrui slowly spit out five words.
