Chapter 420: Hope to Return
On October 20, the 16th year of Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty, a super cold snap from Siberia brought the first snowfall after the beginning of winter to most parts of the northern part of the Ming Dynasty. Overnight, the snow in the capital was three feet, the north wind ghost cried wolf for a day and a night, and the cold weather lasted for five or six days before it cleared.
During this time, a major event occurred in the officialdom of the capital, Wang Qiong, the secretary of the ministry, was impeached by the officials one after another, and the content of the impeachment was some old things.
As mentioned above, Wang Qiong is extremely talented and good at making friends with powerful people, and he gets the opportunity to display his talents by currying favor with Qian Ning, Jiang Bin and others, so he is disliked by most Qingliu civil officials.
Although Wang Qiong is talented, but there are many shortcomings, narrow-mindedness and shallow strength is one of them, when he was still the secretary of the military department, because of jealousy of Peng Ze to exterminate Henan Liukou Zhao Sui, the limelight and prestige overshadowed him, so he colluded with Qian Ning to slander Peng Ze with a felony, which eventually led to Peng Ze being cut to the people, and also implicated several provincial governors to be convicted and imprisoned.
After the little emperor Zhu Houxi ascended the throne in April this year, he had already ordered the ministers Qian Ning and Jiang Bin to be beheaded.
In fact, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty knew that the reason why Wang Qiong was attacked by the Yanguan was that he had been so stumbling too much recently, and he was against the first assistant Yang Ge one after another, who did Yang Ge Lao repair if he didn't repair him?
Because the imperial historians impeached Wang Qiong with real hammers (evidence), the little emperor Zhu Houxi could only order the removal of Wang Qiong from his position as the secretary of the ministry, but in the end he was spared his life and exiled to Suide Chongjun.
Wang Qiong is the head of the six ministries, and his demotion and exile have shocked the officialdom a lot. Yang Tinghe used this to re-establish the prestige of the first assistant, and also showed that the current court is still in the hands of Yang Ge.
On October 26, the weather was beginning to clear, the snow in the capital had already melted, and the sun was warm during the day.
A carriage with the logo of the imperial supervisor of the internal official drove on the street of the hour's square, and dozens of men with knives were followed on both sides of the carriage, and the pedestrians on the street quickly hid away when they saw this battle, guessing that the carriage should be a certain great eunuch in the palace.
The carriage came to a halt in front of a large mansion, the curtain was lifted, and a little eunuch came out of it, about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a face so handsome that even a girl would be jealous. The little eunuch had a smug smile on his face at this time, and after straightening the eunuch hat, he walked towards the gate of the house.
This person is none other than the little emperor Zhu Houxi who sneaked out of the palace, and the dozens of men behind him are all brocade guards in civilian clothes.
The faΓ§ade of this house in front of me is very tyrant, with a pair of mighty stone lions standing on the left and right, a copper red lacquered door, and a plaque hanging above: Xu Mansion. These two words are written with iron and silver hooks, and they are powerful through the back of the paper, obviously not Zhu Houxi's handwriting, in fact, these two words were written by Fei Hong, the second assistant of the cabinet.
It is said that the mansion in front of him, which is close to 3,000 square meters, was originally owned by Anbian Bo Jiang Bin, but since Jiang Bin was ambushed, this mansion has also been confiscated. The little emperor Zhu Houxi had already planned to give a big mansion to Xiaowan's sister to give birth, but he was worried about the minister's criticism, and Xu Jin won a big victory some time ago, so the little emperor gave the big mansion to Xu Jin.
Xu Jin has made such a great contribution, and it is not too much for the emperor to give him a mansion, so the officials have nothing to say.
It is said that this mansion was newly built by Jiang Bin two years ago, and it was completed in March this year, which took more than two years.
A few days ago, Xie Xiaowan sent someone to clean up the house, and put some new furniture and moved in, after all, the house in Mingshifang was too narrow, and the dozens of people in the family were too crowded. In fact, before Xu Jin left Beijing, he had already instructed Dabao to know a larger house, and Dabao had already selected a few, waiting for Xu Jin to make a decision after returning to Beijing, and now he even saved money to buy a house.
You must know that the houses in the capital are the most expensive in the inner city, and the most expensive houses in the inner city are concentrated in the hour square and the hour Yongfang, which is located in the hour square, the area of nearly 3,000 square meters of the mansion is worth a lot of money, according to the market price is estimated to be more than 10,000 taels, this is only the ground price, if you count the various precious flowers and trees, rockery and jade that Jiang Bin deliberately let people transplant into the yard, the value is estimated to be two or three times.
The little emperor Zhu Houyu is a frequent visitor to the Xu Mansion, although he is dressed like a little eunuch, the porter of the Xu Mansion still recognizes it at a glance, nods and opens the door to let him in, if it weren't for Zhu Houxi's gesture to stop it, this thing would have knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Since the middle of October, good news has been reported frequently, and the chaos in Henan, Hebei and Shanxi has been pacified, so the little emperor Zhu Houxi has been in a very good mood recently, and after entering the house, he walked briskly in the direction of the backyard, and when he passed through a moon gate in the middle courtyard, he bumped into a young girl head-on.
"Ouch!" The girl screamed, and a roll of drawing paper in her hand fell to the ground.
This girl was wearing a pink skirt, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with delicate eyebrows and slightly bulging breasts, and it was Fei Xiaoyu's little pepper.
Fei Xiaoyu probably hit her nose, covered her nose with her left hand, with tears in her eyes, and grabbed Zhu Houxi's ear unceremoniously with her right hand, and scolded angrily: "Are you blind?" Walk without eyes, apologize to this girl, or your ears will be unscrewed for you! β
Fei Xiaoyu's force was obviously not light, Zhu Houxi was pulled and tilted his head and screamed in pain, slumping his waist and feet, and the image of a flattering little eunuch.
Lu Bing, who was originally following behind Zhu Houxi, was stunned for two seconds before he reacted, and Zheng pulled out the embroidered spring knife and shouted: "Be bold, let go of the emperor!" β
"Fei Xiaoyu, you ...... Why should I apologize to you, ouch, let go! β
"Your Majesty?" Only then did Fei Xiaoyu recognize that the little eunuch in front of her was Zhu Houxi, her little face suddenly changed color, and the maid behind her was even more pale, and she knelt on the ground trembling.
Although Fei Xiaoyu was willful, she also knew that the kid in front of her was no longer the little slave who could pinch her face at the beginning, and she ate the ground: "Your Majesty, you ...... Why are you dressed like this, people don't recognize you, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! β
Zhu Houxi couldn't help crying and laughing, rubbed his ears that were pulled red, waved his hand and said generously: "Forget it, those who don't know are not guilty, but don't take the next example, Lu Bing, put away the knife, don't say anything about tonight." β
The dignified Ninety-Five Emperor was pulled out of his ears, if this matter is spread, it will definitely cause a lot of turmoil, and I am afraid that it will also affect Fei Hong, which is not what Zhu Houxi wants to see.
Lu Bing agreed, put the embroidered spring knife back into the sheath, and glared at Fei Xiaoyu fiercely, who stuck out his tongue in fear.
"Hey, what is this?" Zhu Houxi bent to pick up the scroll of drawing paper on the ground and opened it to take a look.
Fei Xiaoyu stroked her forehead and exclaimed: "Oops, the emperor can't watch it!" β
"Hey, isn't this painting Xu Jin, why can't you look at it, you painted it, it's a good painting!" Zhu Houxi was stunned.
I saw a young man on a horse painted on the rice paper, the young man was covered in armor, hung a long sword on his waist, and held a firearm in his hand, looking heroic and extraordinary, and his appearance was clearly similar to Xu Jin's five or six points.
Fei Xiaoyu sneered heartlessly: "My fourth sister painted it!" β
As soon as Fei Xiaoyu finished speaking, Zhu Houxi saw a woman in a yellow dress running over here in a hurry, born picturesque, slim and elegant, it was Fei Jixiang, the fourth girl of the Fei family.
"Fifth sister, I'm angry, give it back to me!" Fei Jixiang looked embarrassed, trotting all the way with his skirt, followed by the maid ring and the book.
Fei Xiaoyu hurriedly said to Zhu Houxi: "Your Majesty, you can help me return it to the fourth sister, this girl will leave first!" After saying that, he ran away.
Zhu Houxi looked at Fei Xiaoyu, who ran away without a trace, and said a little funny: "This wild girl is still the same as before......
Fei Jixiang panted and ran to the front, hesitated for a moment before recognizing Zhu Houxi, couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Fei Jixiang sees the emperor!" β
Zhu Houxi scratched his head and said puzzledly: "Sister Jixiang, what kind of trouble are you doing!" β
Fei Jixiang looked a little embarrassed, it turned out that she was sketching in the sun in the backyard just now, and she painted this painting unconsciously, but it happened to be seen by Fei Xiaoyu, and she teased her when she grabbed the painting, Fei Jixiang wanted to snatch it back, Fei Xiaoyu ran out of the courtyard with the painting, so she collided with Houxi who entered the door.
"I didn't ...... It's nothing, the fifth sister just loves to play, Your Majesty, can you return the painting to me! Fei Jixiang said with a red face.
Zhu Houxi handed the painting back to Fei Jixiang, who took the blessing and left quickly through the moon gate with his head down.
Zhu Houxi scratched his head thoughtfully, stopped the waiter who was passing by, and asked, "Is Sister Xiaowan in the backyard?" β
The waiter replied cautiously: "Back to the emperor, the county lord of Yongxiu and the three girls of our family are chatting about family life in the Chunnuan Pavilion in the backyard!" β
Zhu Houxi sighed and walked to the backyard.
In the Spring Warm Pavilion in the backyard, the charcoal fire in the stove was booming, and the warmth was melting, Xie Xiaowan was sitting on a chair covered with a woolen blanket, becoming more and more round and jade, gently stroking the slightly bulging lower abdomen, chatting with Fei Ruyi with a match.
"Sister Ruyi, I heard that the war in Shandong has almost subsided, I don't know if the prime minister will be able to return to Beijing in time for the New Year!" Xie Xiaowan pouted and said sullenly.
"I think I can, there's still two months to go!" Fei Ruyi said to herself, her beautiful eyes full of anticipation. ()
