Chapter 212: Kindly fed the dog
At noon on the second day, in the Qianqing Palace.
Chongzhen, who had just left the court, sat on the throne and reviewed the piles of notes, and Li Yunkui, the eunuch who was waiting on the side, bowed his waist to polish Chongzhen's ink.
"Wang Daban'er, why didn't An Guohou come to the court today?" Chongzhen was tired of sparse criticism, and put down the brush subconsciously.
Once upon a time, Chongzhen had been waiting for Wang Chengen, and more than ten years had passed......
"Long live the lord, Lord An Guo took sick leave today, so he didn't come to the court." Li Yunkui, the new eunuch of Bingbi, was not angry at all about the emperor's mistake, and replied truthfully.
"Well, yes, I gave it, this kid!" Chongzhen picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea.
He didn't feel a little guilty about his slip of the tongue, but because he thought of An Guohou's kid, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
"But long live Lord, yesterday the old slave got a letter, saying that An Guo Houye had come to the palace to visit the prince and stayed in it for a long time, as for what to talk about, the old slave does not know."
Li Yunkui had an impartial expression, but his mind was not like this.
In his opinion, this An Guohou entered the palace without seeing the emperor, but went to see a eunuch, and this alone could cure him for a capital crime.
"Well, the two of them have had the love of robes, and now Wang Daban'er is seriously ill, this vertical son can be regarded as a kind of love and righteousness!" Chongzhen didn't feel the meaning of Li Yunkui's words at all, but praised An Guohou by himself.
"What the emperor said is extremely true!" Li Yunkui stood beside Chongzhen, the corners of his mouth twitching.
This... It's also too ......
"Li Yunkui, drive Wang Chengen's mansion!" Chongzhen said suddenly.
In this world, not only you are in peace with the country, but I will not let the meritorious people go lonely, Chongzhen thought to himself.
"No! The old slave went to arrange it. Li Yunkui put away his thoughts and responded.
An emperor has only one great companion, and the eldest companion of the Long Live Lord is Wang Chengen, if he wants to take this position, in addition to serving more carefully, the rest is time.
Yes, time is a cruel thing, it can change a lot of things and people beyond recognition.
The years are a pig-killing knife, red cherries, green plantains, and black fungus.
This Wang Chengen will also be slowly forgotten, Li Yunkui thought as he walked.
"Your Majesty has arrived!" Li Yunkui walked to Wang Chengen's mansion first to report.
Chongzhen was dressed in regular clothes, surrounded by many guards and eunuchs, and entered Wang Chengen's mansion.
"Hooray! Long live my emperor, long live, long live! Wang Chengen, who had already received the letter, was wearing a brand-new four-clawed python robe and a three-mountain hat, prostrate on the ground and wept.
In the Ming Dynasty, if the emperor personally set up the courtier's mansion, it was a great reward to the courtiers, in fact, there were three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor could deign to go to the courtier's house, and there were only a handful.
Not to mention that Wang Chengen is still a eunuch.
"The eldest companion is not in good health, hurry up!" Chongzhen smiled slightly.
There was already a small yellow door to help Wang Chengen, Wang Chengen lingered on the sickbed for a long time, and his weak body only moved a few times before he sweated.
"The eldest companion should be a good student to nourish his body, I will bring you some old ginseng for the royal use, I heard that it is Korean ginseng that was paid tribute by the Korean State a few years ago.
In addition, if the eldest companion has any discomfort, he can immediately send someone to the imperial doctor, and I have already said hello to the imperial hospital! ”
The Imperial Physician of the Tai Hospital is only responsible for treating the royal people and taking medicine, and without the Holy Decree, others are not qualified.
"Long live Lord, the old slave has not lived in vain in this life, and the old slave will have no regrets even if he dies!" Wang Chengen cried again, he was just a dying eunuch, and it was rare to be so important to the emperor.
Now the emperor not only greeted him with warmth, but also came to visit him in person, even if he went below, Wang Chengen was enough to explain to the second elder under the spring.
"If you want to say these depressing words, you can just give birth and recuperate, what do you have to say to me?" Chongzhen also knew in his heart that this Wang Da'er was afraid that he wouldn't be able to last long.
In addition to Wang Chengen and Chongzhen, there was also a small yellow door standing in the room, as well as Li Yunkui, the new eunuch of Bingbi, the master of ceremonies.
Wang Chengen waved his hand at the little yellow door beside him and motioned for him to go out.
Chongzhen also knew that Wang Chengen might have to say something considerate next, so he also waved his hand to drive Li Yunkui out, which made Li Yunkui, who had just gone out, itch in his heart.
"Long live the lord, the old slave has been in the palace for forty-seven years, and he has been with the long live lord for seventeen years, fortunately with the grace of the long live lord, the old slave originally asked for nothing else, but now the old slave really wants to say a few words from his heart.
An Guohou has merit to the Ming Dynasty, only he can help you fight the world and calm the world, and only he is really running for the Ming Dynasty.
The bird is dying, its song is also mourning, the man is dying, its words are also good, the old slave is brave, I hope that the long live Lord will not listen to the villain's slander, and ruin the reputation of the Ming monarch and virtuous ministers.
If this can be done, the old slave will die without regrets! ”
What is a Loyal Minister?
When he was dying, he still thought about this country, and all he thought about was to hope that this country would have long-term peace and stability, and all of them were for the people he had served all his life to become saints of eternity.
This is the Loyal Minister!
"Wang Daban'er, you are too worried, I have never doubted An Guohou, I just want to remind him!" Of course, Chongzhen knew what Wang Chengen said, in fact, Chongzhen despised this kid very much now.
Thinking that he was reproached by him yesterday, he immediately ran to Wang Chengen to complain, which is really unreasonable!
Wang Chengen also didn't want to think about it, if I really had a dislike for that kid, how could I hand over Jingying to such a hairy boy who had just performed the crown ceremony?
170,000 troops in Beijing, what does that mean for the entire Ming Dynasty?
And the armory, what is the crime of making arms privately? Maybe the people don't know, but you Wang Chengen still don't know?
And potatoes and sweet potatoes, such strange crops, how can they be promoted in the north without his approval?
When there is any problem, it is related to the people's livelihood and social welfare, can a courtier afford it? Whoever carries it dies!
I have to carry this pot.
I believe you, it doesn't mean that the cabinet and the courtiers believe in you, in front of me, you are so presumptuous, there are courtiers, you are still so ignorant of the rules, how do the courtiers think of me? And how do you see it?
This erector who doesn't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth is really inconsiderate of my painstaking efforts.
Chongzhen felt that he fed the dog with his kindness, and then the dog not only didn't eat it, but also sprinkled urine on it.
"Long live Lord, the old slave knows, the old slave knows!" Wang Chengen finally put his mind at ease, explained everything, and tiredness climbed up his brow again.
Like an old man whose wishes have been granted, he lies in bed enjoying the last of his peace.
"Long live the lord, Lingbi Hou, Long Pinghou, and Jiading Bo ask to see you!"
As soon as Chongzhen left Wang Chengen's mansion, Li Yunkui stepped forward to report.
