Chapter 746: Celebrity Temperament

The capital, the Forbidden City Renshou Palace.

Although Empress Dowager Zhang refused the curtain invited by the ministers after Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne, the emperor has been in power for a year, and has reported major military affairs, and if there is any difficulty, she often sends her attendants to mention it. On this day, in addition to the emperor, there were three more foreign ministers here, Jianyi Xia Yuanji and Yang Shiqi Huang Huai. Among the four, two are the head ministers of the ministry, and the two are important ministers of the cabinet, and their brows are furrowed tightly like the emperor and queen. And Zhu Zhanji saw that they didn't speak for a long time, so he simply stood up.

"According to the meaning of the four Qing families, what is the chaos between the two Guangzhous?"

Among the four people, the qualifications are Jianyi, and the favor is Yang Shiqi, so the emperor's question, they did not rashly speak, exchanged a look with each other, and Jianyi owed a debt and said: "Datengxia has been in turmoil for a long time, and the Li people in Qiongzhou Mansion have not had turmoil for many years, and this matter still needs to be cautious." Only the Marquis of Zhenyuan Zhengman killed more than 1,000 people, which really hurt the benevolence of the imperial court. As for the matter in Guangdong, although the Marquis of Zhenyuan was only going by car, he was still a little reckless. ”

"The hard-working king is commendable!" Huang Huai interjected stiffly, and said solemnly, "Since the Marquis of Zhenyuan is a general of the barbarians, this is his business, and it is understandable to go to Guangzhou, what matters is whether there was an omen before, and the Guangdong Political Secretary concealed it and did not report it!" Since the Marquis of Zhenyuan reported that the officials of the Guangzhou government had encountered the Li assassins during the Dragon Boat Festival......"

"Don't mention it!"

Zhu Zhanji interrupted Huang Huai's words suddenly-after all, although Qin Huaijin was said to be the eunuch of the Yongle Dynasty, he was not his person, and he once wanted to replace the person, but after all, this was a person from the palace - as soon as the words came out, he realized that the Empress Dowager Zhang was beside him, and he softened his tone and said: "This matter is this, that matter is that matter, don't mix it up!" ”

Seeing that everyone stopped talking, he turned his head to the Empress Dowager Zhang and asked, "What does the Queen Mother think?" ”

"Military merit has always been based on the conquest of the north, and the pacification of barbarians is the bottom, and Guangdong has always been peaceful, even if there is chaos, there will be no big chaos." Empress Dowager Zhang glanced at everyone, and her tone was extremely slow, "Zhang Yue is a young talent appointed by Emperor Taizong when he was a young talent, and he has made great contributions in the court, if there is really chaos in Guangdong, he should not hide it, and Zhang Qian is also an old lieutenant for many years, let alone casually go along with him." After all, the Marquis of Zhenyuan has been guarding Guizhou for many years, and it is not the first time that Guangxi has been in turmoil, and it stands to reason that he will not open his mouth. Since it's hard to decide, I'm not busy with reprimands or reprimands, and wait to see the report over there. You can ask the Imperial Procuratorate to pick a capable member of the imperial history, and let Jinyiwei also prepare and set off for Guangdong at any time. ”

"Queen Mother Shengming."

Together with Zhu Zhanji, everyone couldn't find any reason for the Empress Dowager Zhang's old and serious measures, so they had to obey the order. Waiting until the four ministers withdrew from Renshou Palace together, Jian Yi and Xia Yuanji went all the way. Yang Shiqi walked with Huang Huai for a while, and when he saw that he was coughing frequently, he personally supported his arm and advised him not to be too tired. However, Huang Huai just shook his head, and on the grounds that there were few people in the cabinet, he asked Yang Shiqi to go back to the cabinet first, and he walked slowly all the way. Yang Shiqi was hesitating, and when he saw a few eunuchs coming not far away, he beckoned one to help Huang Huai, and then hurriedly left first.

Although there were people to support him, Huang Huai staggered along the way, and his steps were still extremely slow. He used to be the fifth Jinshi in the second class, and he was also the first person to enter the cabinet later, and he was in charge of the system, but he has always been behind Xie Jin. It was easy to wait for Xie Jin's fall, but Hu Guang was more sacred, he was still in second place, and later stayed in prison for nearly ten years. In those ten years, everyone in the world seemed to have forgotten that there was such a former son of heaven as him, and it was difficult for his son to see him in prison. can wait until the comeback overnight, and the Huangfu is full of traffic again, and the world is hot and cold. However, the lord for whom he had been trapped in prison for ten years had already returned to the west, and now he was nominally the second assistant of the cabinet, but he no longer had the trust he had during the Hongxi period.

When he reached the courtyard where the cabinet room was, he shook off the little eunuch and walked straight through the gate. Because only cabinet ministers and special eunuchs can enter, naturally there is no idler. He walked through the second path with his hands in his sleeves, and heard Yang Rong's loud voice coming from inside.

"is worthy of being the queen mother, and her heart is like a mirror, but she has never said it to her face. Guangxi has been in turmoil for a long time, but what kind of chaos can there be in Guangdong? Almost all the Li people are concentrated in Qiongzhou Mansion, which is an isolated island, cut off supplies and so on, they are waiting for death! Besides, those Li local officials are all insatiable, and they are good at exploiting the people, and they want to divide Guangdong...... What a high opinion of them! ”

Huang Huai frowned, and then heard Yang Shiqi reply calmly: "Having said that, since the Marquis of Zhenyuan has sent such evidence, he can't ignore it, and he needs to show his public heart...... By the way, Youziding is worried, Yishan has been infected with wind and cold in the past few days to recuperate at home, I look at Zong Yu's cough and old problem seems to have been committed again, and you and I have to take on more cabinet affairs. ”

"That's nature. Speaking of which, Brother Zong Yu is really a little reckless, I saw that the phlegm he coughed up was not the right color in the past few days, and he had to be treated in time, and he should also learn from Brother Yishan's way of self-cultivation, and only when his body is good can he carry the heavy burden. Brother Shiqi, in my opinion, it is better to ask the emperor to send a proper imperial doctor to take a look at him, it is not a way to cough like this all the time......"

Listening to this, Huang Huai felt that the fire in his heart was all lit at once, and he actually walked a few steps to open the curtain and entered the central main room, and said coldly: "Don't work hard Renji, my body is very good, and I can still cope with internal and external affairs!" ”

Yang Rong, who was tied with a jade belt around his waist, didn't expect Huang Huai to break in while speaking, and his brows immediately frowned, but when he saw that the other party's face was pale, he swallowed back the sarcasm that came to his mouth, and only said lightly: "In this case, I am nosy." Since the beginning of the year, the north has been fighting non-stop, Xinghe Kaiping has been frequently harassed, and some demons have appeared in various provinces from time to time. Coupled with the floods and droughts, the twists and turns in various places are about to pile up in the General Administration. Brother Zong Yu, please take good care of yourself, when it comes to the coldest time in the cold winter and the moon, we still have to be busy. ”

Looking coldly at Yang Rong, who was lying on the desk and didn't raise his head, Huang Huai couldn't help but sneer: "I received Mian Ren's kindness." Don't say anything else, just so that there can be some other voices in this court, I have to take care of myself. This world is Zhu Ming's world, and you can't let others say what it is......"

"Zong Yu!"

Yang Shiqi heard Huang Huai say more and more unspeakable, so he could only open his mouth and drink. Seeing Huang Huai silently stop and slowly walk to the desk and sit down, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. has been a colleague for many years, and once served in the East Palace, of course he understands that Huang Huai's temperament is similar to Yang Rong's, but he is narrow-minded and cannot tolerate others. And Huang Huai has been in prison for ten years, so he has a bit of anger in his bones, especially Yang Rongjin Youzi, who has never suffered hardships all the way.

Among these people in the cabinet now, he and Du Zhen have the best friendship, and their temperaments are similar; Yang Rong and Jin Youzi cooperate tacitly, as long as Jin Youzi recovers his love, the two will naturally be one again; Yang Pu is cautious and respectful, and has always regarded himself as the last in the cabinet, never arguing with others; As a result, Huang Huai has become a loner, and he is against others in almost everything.

"It's too much!"

Muttering to himself, Yang Shiqi shook his head, but he couldn't say anything, went straight back to his bookcase and sat down, and picked up Zhang Yue's share again. Although he knew that this was the news half a month ago, he still felt uneasy when he looked at it. Du Zhen's face is cold and warm, he was so reckless in Shandong at the beginning, and the only student is so courageous!

Since Du Zhen complained of illness and recuperated at home, many officials visited him every day. Although the official position is now prominent, the Du family's response is still the same as before, and they all refuse on the grounds that the master is sick and it is inconvenient to meet, and they will not accept anything. The old man in the officialdom has long been accustomed to this rule of Du Fu, but he just laughed it off, after all, this transition must be taken; But the new Beijing officials were quite complaining, and their faces were tense when they were sent away.

In the evening, three more officials of the Hanlin Yuan were politely blocked out, and when they were walking out in a whispered voice, they saw a horse galloping towards them. When they reached the door, before the horse had stopped, the rider jumped off the horse, and his skills were unusually vigorous. Met the three Hanlin, the people who came smiled and bowed their hands, and walked up the steps in three or two steps.

"Second aunt is here!"

The porter laughed and called, and someone was busy coming down to lead the horse. At this time, the three Hanlin Fang were shocked to realize that the person who came was another son-in-law of the Du family. Glancing at each other, one of the youngest Han Lin couldn't help but muttered in a low voice: "The Du family used to have such a temperament, it was just a matter of not taking a car or an entourage when they came out, and they actually beat horses and galloped in the street, which was no different from those rude military ministers!" ”

Wan Shijie didn't know that his actions would be considered rude by the three ministers outside—and even if he knew, he would never take it to heart. Happily entered Du Zhen's bedroom, he casually untied the azure crane outside and threw it on the chair next to him, and immediately walked to the inner room, opened the curtain and went in with a smile: "Father-in-law, good news, Arutai and Tuhuan in the north are fighting again!" They are fighting, and the small tribes next to them are all taking advantage of the fire to rob there, and Kaiping in the north can finally be peaceful! ”

"Be quiet, you're babbling as soon as you come, haven't you seen your father recuperating?" Xiao Wu turned his head and glanced at Wan Shijie, then served Du Zhen to drink the medicine, and then stood up and said, "Who cares about the news in the north now, we just want to know, what happened to my brother-in-law?" Daddy, don't you say? ”

Accustomed to seeing the appearance of this little couple, Du Zhen's face naturally had a faint smile, and when he heard the last sentence, he couldn't help but be even more embarrassed: "Shijie, don't sell Guanzi." Look at your radiant appearance and know that there is something good, what's the matter, what good news is there in Guangdong? ”

"Of course!"

Wan Shijie sat down on the Jindun where Xiao Wu had just sat down, and then said excitedly: "In the evening, the fast horse over there in Guangdong sent the Yuan Festival and a Jiahe. Originally, they all said that it was Jiahe Xiangrui, but later there was a message from inside, saying that the Yuan Festival planned to implement a new system in the two counties of Panyu and Nanhai in Guangzhou Prefecture, with three crops a year, and the rest of the counties tried to harvest two crops a year! At this time, it is said that the cabinet and ministers of the ministry have been summoned to the palace, and there are many discussions outside, some say that the Yuan Festival is false, some say that it is strange, and some are suspicious. But I know that he is, and if I am not sure, I will never mention this matter! ”

"You're right, he's not the kind of person who talks big about inviting favors in order to solve the past!"

Seeing that Du Zhen sat up straight while talking, Xiao Wu hurriedly knelt on one leg at the head of the bed and wrapped the person tightly with a quilt, so he complained: "Daddy, you should be careful, it's not so easy to get wind chill on this cold day." The head of the cabinet came in and out, and he was dismissed after a few months of making up for it, and it turned out that a few of you were carrying the burden. That day, I went to the pharmacy to pick up the medicine, and I saw the people in Huangfu, and glanced at the prescription, which seemed to be a prescription for lung disease. If the wind chill is not well regulated, it will also become ......"

"Wait, what did you say?" Du Zhen interrupted Xiao Wu's words suddenly, and asked in a deep voice, "What is Huang Zongyu's disease?" ”

"If it hurts the lungs, it should be a good lung disease." Xiao Wu saw that Du Zhen's eyes changed suddenly, and she couldn't help but feel a little strange, and when she turned her head to look at Wanshijie, she found that he was also frowning, and she was suddenly even more puzzled, "Daddy, what did you think?" ”

"If it's a lung disease, that's a good solution...... I remember that when he was in the cabinet, he used to cough a lot, and the thick phlegm was wrapped in a cloth and never let people see it. But if it's just a lung disease, why should he be so secretive, isn't it good to take a month or two off from illness to recuperate? Xiao Wu, if this lung disease has been around for a long time, if it has been for a long time, will it become a miasma? ”

"Sickness?"

Xiao Wu's eyes widened suddenly, and after thinking thoughtfully for a while, he hesitated to say that it was indeed possible. As soon as she said this, the two Weng and son-in-law over there glanced at each other, and Wan Shijie saw that Du Zhen's face was a little stunned. Although he seemed to be very arrogant, his mind was the most meticulous person, and when he saw his father-in-law sigh deeply, he hurriedly sat down beside him.

"Huang Zongyu's temperament is the best to fight and win, and it is rumored that when Bachelor Xie was deposed, there was a reason for his advance. In the past two years, he has been competing for the first place in the cabinet, and he often competes with Yang Mianren, and he does not get along well with our colleagues, and he speaks at every turn. If his illness can be cured as soon as possible, it will be fine, if it can't be cured, I'm afraid he will have to write a letter to retire. After all, other diseases are just enough, but the disease is easy to infect people, which is also the best excuse to force him to retreat...... It's just that, putting aside his character, Huang Zongyu not only understands the general situation, but also knows the results of his judgments, and sometimes he really needs a person like him who speaks against the tune. ”

"Father-in-law......"

"Don't talk about that." Du Zhen shook his head, looked at Wanshijie again and said, "I'm not worried about the affairs of Liangguang, I grew up watching Yuanjie, and I will never pretend to be wrong, I believe him." Shijie, some time ago, the county lord Chen Liujun came to see your mother-in-law, and mentioned the establishment of an inner study hall in the palace and the frequent departure of lieutenants from the town, what do you think about this? ”

Wan Shijie didn't expect Du Zhen to ask this, and hesitated for a while before he spoke: "Father-in-law, with all due respect, although there are outstanding figures such as Zheng He, Wang Jinghong, and Zhang Qian among the eunuchs since the Yongle Dynasty, those outstanding figures in the Zhongguan are just icing on the cake, and a scourge can make the world chaotic, and they and the emperor ...... It's too close! ”
