Daming Palace, Qing Xia Zhaizhong. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info beaming. The congratulatory voices continued. The golden book and seal of the concubine have been sent to Qingxia Zhai.

Concubine Yang, who was pregnant, sat on the bed with a smile, wearing a dark cyan robe covering her figure, and her demeanor was outstanding. Below, the eunuchs and palace maids from the concubines of the palace all sent congratulatory gifts.

Yang Guifei smiled and said, "You all go." Thank you, masters. ”

Yesterday, the Son of Heaven won a big victory in the court, and today, her concubine canonization will come down. However, the Son of Heaven belittled so many courtiers for her, and she was uneasy. She couldn't afford the resentment of so many courtiers. The Son of Heaven can't protect her for the rest of her life.

But, what can I do about it?

…

…

Because of the preparation of the noon gate to sacrifice prisoners, Emperor Yongzhi moved back to the palace from the Daming Palace. In the afternoon of this day, Emperor Yongzhi drove lightly, took the great eunuch Xu Yan around him, and quietly came to Ningshou Palace to visit the Emperor Taishang who was living here.

The Emperor Taishang was over seventy years old, described as withered, and sat in a courtyard outside the palace to bask in the sun. When the Son of Heaven came, he didn't even look at it.

was ousted by his son's coup d'état, how could he not hate it in his heart? The father-son relationship has long since broken down.

Emperor Yongzhi saluted, looked a little proud, and said: "Father, the day before yesterday, Qi Chi won a big victory in the southwest and expanded the land for thousands of miles. I ordered him to wait for an opportunity to destroy the kingdom of Pi. Another 50,000 troops marched to the Western Regions, and they thought they would win in the near future. Include the countries of the Western Regions in the territory of our dynasty. ”

The Son of Heaven means to show off.

At any time, an emperor who can expand his territory can be called a hero. Admired by later emperors. And in the court and the world, the prestige has increased greatly.

Emperor Taishang glanced at his son, snorted coldly, and said, "Although the country is big, it will die if it is warlike." ”

Emperor Yongzhi laughed hey, and said perfunctorily: "I remember." "Turn and leave. He did not come here to debate with his father, but to tell his father and tell him with facts that his achievements in governing in the past ten years were higher and better than him.

He was right to seize the throne in a coup d'état!

…

…

In Jiafu, the atmosphere is joyful. Daddy Zheng has received the farewell of the Ministry of Rites and is scheduled to leave on August 20.

From the fifth grade to the fourth grade, it has been upgraded by two levels. You must know that when you reach the fourth grade, you can wear a scarlet robe and official uniform. This is the hierarchy of middle and senior officials.

Jia Zheng has already explained the situation to Jia's mother. The whole Jia Mansion is preparing for Jia Zheng's departure. Jiafu is old and protégés all come to congratulate him. Or, for some reason, I want to get an errand for my children by Jia Zheng's side. For several days, Rong and Ning were entertaining guests to eat and drink.

At noon on August 18, at the invitation of Zhu Hongfei in the same year, he went to the Xijiangyue Teahouse on Zhengyangmen Street to listen to music and eat wine.

Xijiangyue Teahouse was originally the property of the Lin family, and later it was bought at a low price by the Jin merchant Lu Chengji while the Lin family was implicated in the case of the household servant.

Lin Zhiyun hated Lu Chengji very much here: he first pretended to befriend her brother Lin Xinyuan, and then took advantage of the fire to rob and eat a large amount of the Lin family's assets at a low price.

Now, Lin Xinyuan is doing well in the teahouse in Dongzhuang Town, and the business is booming, and with the support of his sister, he bought the Xijiangyue teahouse back to operate, mainly in storytelling, drumming, cross talk, singing and other music arts, soliciting business.

Of course, Lu Chengji was willing to sell the teahouse back to the Lin family, and how much of it was because of Jia Huan's factors, he himself knew.

At this time, it is already in August, the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, the autumn sun appears soft, at noon, in the private room on the second floor of the tea house, the sunlight penetrates, very comfortable. Jia Huan leaned back in his chair, his friendship with Zhu Hongfei was no more pretentious and restrained.

This time there was a storm in the book. Jia Huan had already greeted Zhu Hongfei and several other close people in the same year, and advised them not to be in the limelight. Of course, you have to go to the book. This is a matter of position, but there is no need to be high-profile and showy. The gun shoots the first bird.

Zhu Hongfei listened to his opinion. As for whether to give Jia Huan face, or if he really listened to it, only he knows. Zhu Hongfei invited Jia Huan to drink tea today, and he did not mean to be grateful. Kedao is the focus of Tianzi's purge. But he escaped.

The sound of music from downstairs was heard. Zhu Hongfei was dark and half-dressed, picked up the teacup and drank tea, and said, "Brother Jia, now that Weng Zhaozhen has been demoted to Yunnan, you are dormant." Zhou Yusheng is proud, like the leader of our current scholars. Hey, me! ”

Jia Huan waved his hand and said, "Yanyang, don't put gold on my face." My reputation hasn't been very good lately, and it's about the same as stinky tofu. As for Zhou Yusheng, heh, who is a fool? ”

Zhu Hongfei clapped his hands and smiled, "That's exactly the truth." He had already seen that Zhou Yusheng was a villain.

Jia Huan nodded. Zhou Shenxing, the leader of this department, wants to be a leader, but he thinks too much. Who can't see a smart person? If you want others to admire you, you don't just have to get rid of competitors, but you have to stand up for yourself.

His body is upright, and he does not give orders. His body is not right, although he does not obey orders.

In fact, Jia Huan doesn't attach much importance to this kind of thing as a leader of today's scholars. Nothing to use. Responding to a call is the right to speak and the right. However, in political struggles, what is really useful is the network of relationships woven by interests. Or maybe it's because of a political team that comes together with the same goal. For example, this time the civilian-bureaucratic clique collectively opposed the will of the Son of Heaven.

His reputation has fallen for such reasons, but he can actually make up for it in the future. After all, there is a word "filial piety" in front of him.

After chatting for a while, Jia Huan's depressed mood was a little better. Zhu Hongfei's temperament is still jealous and hateful. Everyone hopes that their friends are decent people, not villains like Zhou Shenxing.

Now the situation in the entire court is that most of the righteous men and gentlemen have gone. However, the general environment is like this, and Jia Huan is helpless.

In his heart, there was a faint speculation that this might be a harbinger of an imminent political storm. The state of checks and balances of power is the most stable. All parties are at peace, and now that the court has been demoted with so many courtiers, the balance has been broken. He didn't know when the problem would arise.

The sun is reclining. Jia Huan stood up and said, "Yanyang, friends have the friendship of wealth, if you can't turn around at hand, you can speak." There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Don't borrow official debt. ”

Jia Huan is a very euphemistic reminder. Official debts are just a trifle. What he wants to remind is: don't collect black money, you can't help yourself when the time comes.

Imperial history has the right to speak. Zhu Hongfei is now a powerful figure in the lower classes. A large number of merchants and merchant groups will flatter him, or buy him to speak and speak in the court.

Obviously, Jia Huan could see that there was something wrong with his use. Zhu Hongfei smiled wryly and said, "When there is difficulty, I will say." ”

Jia Huan smiled, stopped talking about this topic, and said goodbye to Zhu Hongfei and left.

Zigong asked his friends. Zi said: Advice and good guidance, do not stop, do not humiliate yourself.

…

…

On the 18th, the imperial court rested. The ministers rested, and so did the Son of Heaven. In the afternoon, Emperor Yongzhi went to Fengzao Palace to see Concubine Yuan.

The palace maids and eunuchs looked around. Emperor Yongzhi and Jia Yuanchun strolling in the garden. Huqin and Eunuch Chen, who were not far behind, trembled slightly. This is the first time that the Son of Heaven has come to Fengzao Palace after many months.

Emperor Yongzhi looked at the woman with a beautiful face and moon beside him, and asked, "Concubine Yuan gave a gift to Yanyan, why don't you go to the Daming Palace to see her in person?" ”

His three earlier concubines, Zhou Guifei did not go to Daming Palace, he could understand. And Jia Guifei didn't go to Daming Palace to compete for favor, which made him a little curious, and at the same time a little disappointed, he was the Ninth Five.

I have to say that the emperor is a very magical animal.

Jia Yuanchun smiled mildly and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine is happy and envious of Sister Yang. But if someone goes to Daming Palace, it is inconvenient for her to recuperate at that time. ”

This is a "true saying". Because Jia Yuanchun is a noble concubine, she wants to go to Daming Palace, and Concubine Yang, who was still a concubine at the time, must be respected by Jia Yuanchun. This is not subject to human will. The status of the concubine is still very high.

But if so, will the Son of Heaven be happy? Just look at Wu Guifei's treatment.

Emperor Yongzhi laughed, held the jade hand of the radiant beauty beside him, and said, "The younger brother of the concubine is very good. I want to reward him with a good errand. ”

The coaxing Yuanchun was in a good mood, smiling, beautiful and unprovoked. When Emperor Yongzhi and Jia Yuanchun were chatting happily, the eunuch outside came to report: "Your Majesty, the head of the household department Wei Hong, and the head of the military department Gao Guo are asking to see you." ”

"Let them go to the West Garden and wait. I'll be there in a moment. "Emperor Yongzhi originally planned to go out of the palace to Xiyuan, and sat here in Fengzao Palace, but he didn't expect Concubine Yuan to be so "interesting" and lovely, so he stayed for a while and said, "Does Concubine Ai want to go to Xiyuan with me?" ”

Jia Yuanchun said: "The concubines will not disturb Your Majesty to deal with state affairs. ”

Emperor Yongzhi smiled, extremely satisfied. I regretted that I had alienated her because of Concubine Yuan's family affairs before. People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless? If he is a ruthless woman, what is he still spoiling?

…

...

Emperor Yongzhi drove the West Garden. King Wu waited in a Ming Xuan in the South China Sea early in the morning, waiting for the Son of Heaven to come over to appreciate the calligraphy and paintings.

At this time, the Son of Heaven came in, and King Wu hurriedly saluted, "My brother has seen Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Yongzhi waved his hand, beckoned King Wu to sit down and drink tea, and said with a smile: "Ask the imperial brother to come over today, but there is a way to solve the education problem of the imperial brother's son." How about Jia Tanhua of this dynasty as a teacher for your son? Xiao Jia is still very good. ”

Of course Xiao Jia is very good, everyone is scolding the emperor, he didn't scold! Jinyiwei's surveillance showed that he did not scold in private. This made the victorious Emperor Yongzhi feel very comfortable.

Of course, Jia Huan scolded in private or not, how did Jin Yiwei know? The hidden stakes in Jiafu have long been cleared. If you send it over, you won't be able to get close to the core area of Jiafu at all. However, does Jin Yiwei have the face to say it to the outside world?

King Wu smiled and said, "Your Majesty said yes, it must be excellent." I have heard about Jia Tanhua, he is engaged in ethnicity at home, and he is very good and famous. Jingxi Wendao Academy, he also contributed a lot of good ideas. ”

Emperor Yongzhi smiled and nodded, and let the household department Shangshu Weihong and the military department Shangshu Gao Guo come in. Neither of them looked very good.

Gao Guo filed a lawsuit against the representative Wuchen and Wei Hong, and asked for the reward of silver money and silk. This is the golden words of the Son of Heaven in the palace of diligent government. But Wei Hong insisted that the treasury had no money, and at most 50,000 taels of silver. The matter came to the Son of Heaven.

Emperor Yongzhi frowned, but he knew that Wei Hong was a capable minister and was not harsh. Because, the imperial court is using troops against the Western Regions, which is a big consumer of money and food. asked Gao Guo, "Gao Qing, how many vacancies are there?" ”

Gao Guo said: "Back to Your Majesty, according to the military exploits reported by the Governor of Qi, the soldiers ahead will be rewarded, and 300,000 taels will be needed." ”

Emperor Yongzhi just smiled, waved his hand, and said, "How much is this?" Come out of my Nenu. "The Son of Heaven has 1 million taels of gold and silver a year.

Gao Guo stopped talking and looked at King Wu. King Wu also wanted to speak and stopped. King Wu was the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and was in charge of the emperor's internal use.

Emperor Yongzhi's smile slowly faded, his face calmed, and he asked sharply, "What's the matter?" ”

King Wu and Gao Guo both knelt down. King Wu said bitterly: "Your Majesty, the former Zhen family owes two million taels of silver to the inner treasury, and it has not been handed over yet. Originally, it was stipulated that it should be paid off in a year. Now I only paid 50,000 taels. ”

Emperor Yongzhi's eyes suddenly cooled.
