Chapter 226? A sudden blow

Guansheng quietly hid in Cheng Yue's arms, all the voices around her seemed to be non-existent, only her and Cheng Yue's two hearts were beating non-stop, so happy, it turned out that this was the feeling of finding belonging.

Ding Niang walked over and looked at Cheng Yue with admiration on her face: "Xianggong, this piano and piano music are really the creation of heaven and earth, there is such beautiful music in the world, can Xianggong often play it to us in the future?" ”

Cheng Yue also hugged Dingniang, kissed her on the face, and said: "Okay, I promise you that as long as you are free, you will definitely play the piano for you, and if you want to learn, you can learn together, teach for free, until the church, but you must promise to each other." ”

The concubines all laughed, and they all gathered around, pressing the keys with their fingers in awe and curiosity, very eager to play the beautiful music they had just played.

Cheng Yue didn't hide his secrets, and explained to them how to play the piano from the basics. was afraid that the concubine in the back would not hear clearly, so he specially hugged Wang to his lap and wrapped his waist around her waist to teach. The Wang family has not been accepted into the room by Cheng Yue, and she is so ashamed that she is uncomfortable, but the rest of the concubines are very envious of her.

It was lively until the third watch, Cheng Yue closed the lid, and the concubines reluctantly dispersed, and the five concubines such as Dingniang went to bed.

Early the next morning, Cheng Yue's words and orders in the court immediately caused a sensation in Lin'an City, which was tantamount to an earthquake of ideas.

From ancient times to the present, the emperors and generals are pursuing all the nations to come to the court, and they do not hesitate to treat the so-called envoys well, even if they know that most of them are fake businessmen or even liars, they do not hesitate to save the face of the court, and the result is to spend countless people's fat and people's ointment, only in exchange for some foreigners to kowtow to the emperor.

Because all dynasties have done this. So the people have long been accustomed to it. However, overnight. These have been inherited from ancient times to the present day. All were completely denied by Cheng Yue. It does make sense to think about it, why should the people of the Great Song Dynasty support foreigners? What's in it for Da Song? Is the emperor's face that important? In particular, Cheng Yue's two orders, one is not to give preferential treatment to foreign businessmen. Another is that all localities are not allowed to contribute rare treasures, violators are severely punished, and the people praise each other, and the streets and alleys are full of jubilation.

Cheng Yue's rebuke of the envoys was almost overwhelmingly supported. Zhao Miaohui gave full play to Cheng Yue's exposition of rights and obligations, expanding it to almost all levels, making everyone refreshed and looking at things from a different perspective.

This is all due to Cheng Yue's instructions, and if he wants to gradually break the official standard, he must start from the concept. But what he didn't expect was that someone had already targeted the loophole he hadn't noticed and quietly attacked him.

A few days later, a student questioned in another newspaper why there were still concubines of the previous generation in the palace. They have only rights and no actual obligations, but they spend a lot of money every year. It's very unfair.

The chamberlain who was buying outside the palace was extremely shocked when he saw this newspaper, hurriedly paid for a few copies, and hurriedly returned to the palace to deliver the newspaper to Deng Weishan.

After reading it carefully, Deng Weishan was shocked, not sure whether this previous article was instructed by Cheng Yue, and after thinking about it, he felt that it was difficult to conceal it, so he took the newspaper and came to Cining Palace to ask to see the Empress Dowager.

Xie Daoqing and Quan Jiu had just gone down to the court, and they were gossiping in the palace, when they heard that Deng Weishan had something to see, they called him in.

Deng Weishan took the newspaper and walked in front of the two saints, he didn't know how to explain, hesitated for a moment, or directly handed the newspaper to the two saints to read for himself, and he stood next to him without saying a word.

Xie Daoqing and Quan Jiu were also curious when they saw Deng Weishan holding two newspapers so hesitantly, and it didn't seem to be the "China Daily" of the Metropolitan Governor. took the newspaper from Chen Baohe's hand, opened it and took a look, Xie Daoqing was fine, Quan Jiu "Ah! The ground cried out.

Quan Jiu hurriedly asked Deng Weishan: "Does this newspaper have any relationship with the Metropolitan Governor?" ”

Deng Weishan shook his head and said: "The slave doesn't know either, and after the slave saw it, he was also so worried, so he sent it to the two saints to see what to do." ”

Xie Daoqing said: "A few days ago, Concubine Yang Shu came back and said that the Metropolitan Governor was unwilling to take care of the affairs in the palace, and it has only been a few days, so it won't be so easy to change his ways, right?" ”

Quan Jiu said: "What the sage said is reasonable, but at this time and that time, the governor of the capital at that time only said that he didn't want to care, and he didn't say that he didn't care, let alone didn't want to care about it in the future." A few days ago, the Metropolitan Governor said in the court that he would not waste the people's hard-earned money, and the concubines were a little uneasy at that time, and the expenses in the palace were not small, only a lot more than the expenditure of the Ministry of Rites. Emperor Xianlizong and Emperor Xianduzong had no kindness to the Grand Duke, and the Grand Governor moved the concubines of the two former emperors out of the palace to conform to the will of the people and fulfill his promises, so why not? First use other newspapers to release rumors to test public opinion, if there is not much opposition, and then use your own newspapers to advocate, and when the time is ripe, a piece of paper is handed into the palace, who is not grateful to the people? You can also take the opportunity to win over and suppress your relatives, isn't it a good calculation? Sage, according to the concubines, there are not so many coincidental things in the world, the eight achievements are the orders of the Metropolitan Governor or his subordinates, as long as the "China Daily" will write a similar article tomorrow, the concubine's sisters can only sit and wait to go to the nunnery! Sage, beg the sage to come forward and find a way to make the Metropolitan Governor think about those poor people in the harem and stop letting them suffer anymore. Speaking of this, Quan Jiu was rarely excited and wept, knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

Xie Daoqing didn't go to support Quan Jiu, and was stunned for a while, thinking about the various possibilities of this matter. Turning around and seeing that Quan Jiu was still on the ground and refused to get up, he sighed, stepped forward and picked Quan Jiu up and said, "Don't kneel, what's the use of begging for mourning, that Dadu Governor, you don't understand, when have you heard of someone else's things that he has determined?" If he really invites the concubines to live in the palace, who do you think will object? What if it's a mourner? It's not like you have to be on the right track! Do you want to mourn your family, and what will you do to mourn your family? What to say? Is it to say that he did something wrong? If you can talk to him about keeping your best sisters, it's not certain. ”

???????? Quan Jiu cried again, crying: "Sage, if you can keep a few more, you can protect a few more, most of the governors have accepted Ye Yiyi and Zhang Shufang, and those who are familiar with the palace can also find a way to beg, and ask them to help with the old feelings." There are also other concubines of the Grand Governor, as long as you can find them, you can always find a way. ”

???????? Xie Daoqing comforted: "Don't cry first, things must be clarified first." Yang Shufei and the others often go to Yaleju and don't hear any news, maybe it has nothing to do with the Metropolitan Governor at all, and we are scaring ourselves. ”

???????? Quan Jiu is concern is chaos, and when Xie Daoqing talked about it, he also felt that it made sense, put away his tears, thought about it, and said: "Sage, it is better to let Yang Shufei and them go to Yale Ju to explore the tone of the concubine room of the capital." If the Metropolitan Governor really wants to move the harem, it will not be leaked at all. If you don't feel at ease, ask them to help ask the Metropolitan Governor to make plans. ”

???????? Xie Daoqing clapped his hands and said: "That's the reason, it's better to ask for clarification than to sit here and guess." ”

???????? Quan Jiu wiped away the tears on his face, and didn't need others to pass it on, and went to the concubines in person, so that they could find a way to figure out this crucial matter.

???????? The concubines passed on ten, ten to hundred, and soon gathered in a panic to Cining Palace, some crying, some sobbing, some in a daze, and some bowing their heads to discuss.

???????? Concubine Yang Shu is actually not worried, she gave birth to King Yi and King Guang, even if Cheng Yue wants to drive the concubines out of the palace, it is her business, it is the other concubines who suffer. If you really want to send them out of the palace, you can only guard a dead lamp until you die, which is no different from letting them die.

???????? Quan Jiu told the concubines about her and Xie Daoqing's analysis, and said, "I don't know what the matter is yet, don't be anxious. For the sake of today's plan, you must go to Yaleju immediately, and inquire about the concubine of the Grand Governor, if the Grand Governor has this intention, the palace will try to fight for you and will not let you suffer. ”

???????? The concubines were so frightened by these words that almost everyone cried, and they hugged their heads and cried. A few people who often go to Yaleju are thinking about their friendship with Yunluo and Baji in their hearts, to see if they can let Cheng Yue open up.

???????? Concubine Yang Shufei said to Quan Jiu: "Without further ado, the slave will go immediately, lest tomorrow the newspaper of the Metropolitan Governor really publishes an article, then it will be too late." ”

???????? Quan Jiu hurriedly said: "Don't forget to bring some gifts, this time is different from the past, be humble, don't annoy those little ladies." ”

???????? Yang Shufei said: "Slaves can be saved." "Turn around and leave. When the concubines saw that Concubine Yang Shu was going to take the lead, they didn't dare to stay behind, otherwise wouldn't they put their fate in the hands of others? One after another, they are going too.

???????? The rules in the palace, how can it be possible for these many concubines to leave the palace together? But this is not the time to behave. Quan Jiu gritted his teeth and chose fifty or sixty concubines to go with Yang Shufei, and he must beg Cheng Yue to let go of these poor women.

???????? More than 100 sedan chairs carrying the concubines and their personal palace maids rushed out of the palace, ignoring the surprise of passers-by, and under the escort of a small number of chamberlains and the royal forest army, they hurried straight to Yaleju.

???????? Yale is in the middle, and Yun Luo is training some of the purchased courtesans in the back house, just like Cheng Yue trained Hachime in the past. However, because these courtesans are just starting out in the industry, it is much more difficult and takes more time. This is in preparation for opening branches in Suzhou, Yangzhou and other places.

???????? As the female shopkeeper, Yunluo never sings to others, only sings to Cheng Yue when she gets along with Cheng Yue, but of course she has to sing when she trains these singers. Yunluo was known for her singing voice when she was a courtesan, and she is still outstanding in singing.

???????? After Yun Luo finished singing a song, she pointed to a courtesan and was just about to ask her to sing it, when she heard dense footsteps from far and near, very hurried. (To be continued......)
