Chapter 976: The Sound of the Trumpet
The social changes brought about by the gradual industrialization process in Jiangnan in recent years have not affected the capital for the time being. That kind of strong and precise concept of time is commonplace in the Jiangnan area. Basically, the hourly system is adopted. And here in the capital, there is still a slow pace of life.
It often takes 10 or 20 years for a social custom to change!
In the autumn of the ninth year of Yongxing, the sixth day of the ninth month of September, the rest day of the imperial court.
More than half a month ago, Xiao Pi, a university scholar, and Qu Wei, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, were chatting in Xiangshan, inferring that Peng Shijun would inevitably make a move; Ten days ago, Ning Shuo, the Duke of Liang, used words to provoke Ning Ke, the king of Shu, and today, Peng Shijun took the opportunity of the concubine's birthday to gather his political forces to gather in the mansion to "ventilate".
At noon on this day, the gate of Peng's Mansion in Yongfang was quite lively. Carriages and sedan chairs came one after another. More than a dozen officials of the Peng family came to the mansion to congratulate each other. The head of the household is still a scholar, which can be described as an important minister of the imperial court. How can there be no henchmen and friends?
A group of officials gathered in the main hall to chat.
There are: Liu Anyi, the head of the household, Peng Wei, the right waiter of the ministry, Shi Jian, the head of Shandong Dao, Yu Shi Taotai and others.
Peng Shijun's mentor Bolong was the teacher of Ning Pu, the former prince of the Yongzhi Dynasty, and was known as the emperor's teacher. In the thirteenth year of Yongzhi, Grandmaster Fang convicted him on the pretext of being beheaded in Xishi, cutting off his literary opponents. Peng Shangshu gritted his teeth with hatred for this! Over the years, this hatred has not been forgotten.
Peng Shijun left Beijing in the thirteenth year of Yongzhi and served as the right political secretary of Henan Province to participate in politics (from Sanpin). Seventeen years later, he was promoted to the rank of Hubu Shangshu (Zheng Erpin). He is known for his ability to work hard. Appreciated by Qi Chi.
With large gatherings, it is impossible to talk about very private issues. So it's just ventilation. It is enough for Peng Shijun to express his attitude of "worry" about the government. And after lunch, when we had a small meeting in the study in private, we talked very thoroughly.
Balmy autumn day. In the afternoon, the shade of the trees is in the ground, and the study is quiet and elegant.
Peng Shijun was fifty-five years old at the time, dressed in civilian clothes, drinking tea with a calm expression, and said, "What does Uncle Shi think about the current situation?" ”
Liu Anyi, the mastermind of the Donglin Party, has been serving and lecturing in Suzhou after the Yongzhi Dynasty was demoted to Suzhou. It was not until the Yongxing Dynasty that it slowly recovered. He will not only talk about it, but also do practical things. When he was in his sixties, he became an official and a household servant.
On the same day, Qi Chi said to Hu Chi on the sickbed that he had eliminated some of Jia Huan's influence over the years, and he was talking about these things: he promoted a group of talents like Peng Shijun and Liu Anyi.
Liu Anyi smiled easily, put down the tea bowl, and said, "It's just that the sky will change!" "Of course he knows the problems that Xiao Pi and Qu Wei can see. Qingmei was still Han Xiucai entrusted Liu Huangshang to bring back to Beijing from Jiangnan.
In addition to Liu Anyi in the study, there is also Peng Shijun's cronies Shandong Daoist Yu Shi Tai. He nodded slightly.
In the game this spring, Peng's department suffered a setback. The Son of Heaven finally adopted Governor Lu's plan under the guise of Qingmeiren. But, unexpectedly, the Son of Heaven fell into his gentle countryside because of his contact with the green beauty.
Peng Shijun sat in the main seat, sipping tea. The fragrance of tea is lingering. After half a ring, he sighed: "It has been seventeen years since my master was unjustly killed!" Hopefully, the day of rehabilitation is not far off. ”
Jia Huan's stay in Jiangnan will be the biggest mistake he has made! At that time, he will let Jia Huan understand what it means to be a whip leader!
Jia Huan relied on nothing more than his two lackeys: the hussar general, Shen Qian, the commander of the Beijing camp; Che cavalry general, Nine Gate Admiral Zhang Sishui. A monarch killer, even if it has been almost ten years, what prestige can he have?
In the next few years, before the death of the Son of Heaven, he will try his best to transfer these two people out of the capital.
Liu Anyi and Tao Tai each drank tea. Didn't speak. They know it's a trumpet!

…
At the beginning of September, it was late autumn. When the literati sang the autumn, the Yongxing Son also lived in the beautiful Daming Palace during this time.
In a small building with a beautiful view in the Daming Palace, the Yongxing Emperor and the newly favored Qingmei admired the moon and enjoyed singing and dancing in the building.
The lake and autumn moon are harmonious, and the surface of the lake has no wind mirrors and is not polished.
In the spacious hall of the small building, eight beauties with different styles are singing and dancing. Ning Xi beat the beat, looking at the green beauty who poured wine for him beside him, and couldn't help but be a little distracted. A sense of happiness that comes from the bottom of my heart!
Qingmei was 31 years old at the time. Wearing a long dress in aqua blue, the body is very well proportioned. She has a delicate and quiet face, and her nose and lips are sakurish. There are a pair of willow eyebrows, and the eyes are clear. At this time, I felt the hot gaze of the Son of Heaven, and couldn't help but sneer, "Hooray..., you are still sick." ”
Her voice, with a slightly hoarse texture, is very recognizable. After two ups and downs, the young beauty who can be called a stunner has lived in the deep palace for ten years, and she has been favored again, and the style on her body has precipitated.
Fascinating!
Ning Xi raised his head and smiled, and said, "Wait a few days, when my affairs are not so busy, exercise for a while, and your body will get better." Qing'er, it has nothing to do with you. ”
Qingmeiren looked at the Son of Heaven, who was two years younger than her, and remembered the rumors in the court and the palace, and when she heard this, her heart was hot, she lowered her head, and said sincerely: "The concubine is an ominous person, and it is a blessing to have long live pity today." There is no other luxury. Long live the dragon body. ”
The singing and dancing stopped. Ning Xi waved his hand and asked the beauties to go down. Turning sideways, patting Qingmeiren's hand, looking into her eyes, and said, "Qing'er, red face and trouble, this kind of thing does not exist here in me." My husband taught me very early. My health and governance have nothing to do with you! ”
The book says that since ancient times, heroes have been sad to pass the beauty pass. He disagreed. Now I believe it. He's not a hero. However, he can't pass the beauty in front of him.
Mr. once taught him that the evaluation of the emperor is not in the affairs of the state, not in women. Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty fell in love with Empress Xiao alone, but he still had a reputation for being obscene! Tang Taizong Li Shimin married his younger brother's concubine, is it not the same as Mingjun?
He was willing to protect this weak woman. Sir taught him the truth. How can a man not even protect his own woman?
Qingmei threw herself into Ning Xi's arms and cried whining.
Ning Xi smiled and patted her on the back.
Although he doesn't blame Qing'er, he himself is aware of the weakness of his body. She's so beautiful! It often makes him feel uncomfortable. After a while, it's time to get some exercise.

In the summer of the tenth year of Yongxing, an urgent report came from Mobei: Princess Namin of Wanguo sneaked back to Mobei and led the rebellion of the ancient tribe of the wild country. The rebels are about 100,000! Moreover, according to the Crescent Guard in the army, she was supported by the Tsarist Empire in the north.
Two years ago, Tsarist Russia fought with France and the Ottomans. So far, the war is over. And apparently, the nobility of the Tsarist Empire, set their sights on the East. Trying to compete with the Zhou Empire in the east for Lake Belga, Siberia and other places again.
Mobei is just a chess piece, a corner of the place!
In late May, the Yongxing Emperor worshiped the hussar general Shen Qian as the commander, led 50,000 Beijing battalions out of Beijing, and after the Xuanda Qi border army, counted 100,000 troops and went to northern Xinjiang to quell the rebellion. This battle has to play the style of the Zhou Empire!
At the same time, it was necessary to go north to fight with Tsarist Russia and completely cut off Tsarist Russia's thoughts on the eastern lands. Where the sun and the moon shine, they are all my concubines of the Great Zhou!
