Chapter 502: Flowers and Plants
Xu Hao sent Gu Hongyun's master and servant away, and did not ask why, Gu Hongyun didn't understand his father's approach, thinking that this was someone's family matter, so he didn't want to delve into it.
At most, wait for the Gu prefect to send someone to Beijing, and ask the reason carefully, if the Gu family really has a reason, then it is not good to meddle in things, and if you can persuade them, you can't persuade them to drink and let them do their own thing; If it's out of a misunderstanding, I'm happy to fulfill a pair of lovers, in short, everything will wait for someone to come.
At this time, news came from the palace, and the criminal department began to impeach officials without hesitation, including himself, accusing the assassination case of using power for personal gain, fooling the government for the sake of his brother, and being a member of the Zhengyi product but deliberately arrested, which was a loss of ministerial dignity.
Xu Hao doesn't take it seriously, an official who is not impeached is not a good official, and what people say is right. It is said that a Chen Ge and a Geng Tong in the DPRK are the most outspoken officials now, and there is no one who is not afraid of this second general.
Chen Ge was born with a big voice, speaking loudly like a bell, when Zhu Gaochi first ascended the throne, he was more sensitive, and when he saw him talking a lot, his ears were numb, thinking that he was dissatisfied, and ordered to be hungry for three days.
Who knew that three days later, Chen Ge, who was half starved to death, still spoke like a bell, and asked him if it was his nature, Zhu Gaochi was relieved, and it didn't take long for people to give him the nickname "Loud Xiucai".
The real speech official has always been a 360-degree indiscriminate attack, not distinguishing between friend and foe, only right and wrong, so it is often loved and hated. Chen Ge is like this, even Xu Hao has no one he will not impeach, and if this kind of strong official is not protected, his career will often be particularly bumpy, and his life will even be in danger.
That's the case today, after saying that, Xu Hao fired at the emperor again, accusing Zhu Gaochi of accepting exotic beauties and being extravagant, which made Zhu Gaochi angry. The rare Jinyi guard buried him outside the Mukden Gate, exposing only his head.
At that time, there was no one in the Manchu Dynasty who was willing to speak for him, and there were too many people who offended. Last month, Geng Tong was imprisoned for impeaching the imperial envoy Chen Ying and the imperial historians Yuan Gang, Qin Heng and others. He also reported that the granary of Xiaoqi Zhuwei was in disrepair, and Chen Shouzhi, the waiter of the Ministry of Industry, did not repair it, which made the grain damp and moldy; Song Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Labor, was not sympathetic to the people, and was not immediately dismissed when the date of labor was reached.
As a result, a few days ago, I heard that Chen Ying was sent to the local area for inspection, and Yuan Gang and Qin Heng were fined for half a year and released.
Secretly scolded Chen Ge You are my second uncle, Xu Hao immediately put on his official uniform and rushed to Fengtianmen with his personal guards, and saw that Chen Ge was really buried alive. Under the sun, squinting at the blue and white clouds.
Jinyi Wei Zhen Fu Pang Ying and eunuch Sha Yucheng stood aside and chatted with each other, and when they saw Xu Hao coming over, they hurriedly greeted them.
Xu Hao said angrily: "Just put people under the sun like this? Darn. ”
Sha Yucheng said in a whisper: "In the morning, he slandered the governor, and our family made him suffer some crimes." ”
Pang Ying said: "Du Du, such a shameless person can simply die, and the province will spray people with blood everywhere." ”
Xu Hao looked at him deeply, with no expression on his face, and waved his hand: "He died but became famous." Build him an umbrella, feed him with water once every half an hour, and if he dies, he will try the two of you. ”
Sha Yucheng was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "This matter is Pang Zhenfu's errand. Our family has an appointment with Yang Gechen's son-in-law today and wants to go to his house for wine. ”
"Yang Ji?" Xu Hao stared at the eunuch again, and walked to Chen Ge's side with his feet.
Squatting down, Xu Hao chuckled and said, "Grandma's." Lao Tzu can still rush to save you, you said you are angry? ”
Chen Ge turned his head uncomfortably and said with a smile: "I don't appreciate it." Don't expect me to hold you high. ”
"Knowing the way, knowing the way." Xu Hao stood up angrily and was about to leave, Chen Ge hurriedly shouted: "Don't let me die here, I don't want to leave a good name." ”
"Don't worry, Lao Tzu has already explained, and I dare to owe you in my last life."
Watching him walk away, Sha Yucheng in the distance smiled bitterly: "It's really boring to pat the horse's ass on the hooves, our family has said goodbye." ”
Pang Ying sneered alone: "You are so kind to you, and you are so faceless." This fucking brocade guard is so far, which powerful person in the Hongwu Dynasty dares to speak in such a tone? Bah! ”
In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Gaochi saw Xu Hao and said, "Have you seen Chen Ge? This time, he must kill his prestige, just like Ru Yong, he doesn't know how to speak, and he will be buried for seven days. By the way, you can't let him die, and the official will be reinstated in seven days. ”
Xu Hao said: "He was buried, Geng Tong left Beijing again, and the cold face Yushi was sent to Zhejiang, who else dares to speak like this?" Hasn't it become a word for some ministers? ”
Zhu Gaochi said: "It is too rigid and easy to break, I deliberately sharpen them. Besides, if the water is clear, there will be no fish, and some negligence on the part of officials will inevitably lead to dismissal and imprisonment if something goes wrong? Wouldn't that make people panic? ”
Xu Hao nodded, and then said: "He Fu reported in Hami, Ben Ya lost Li from the tunnel to the north, without passing through Hami, and the loyal Shun King Tokhoff only detained eighteen scouts. ”
Zhu Gaochi muttered: "Now that the two sides have not started a war, they salute first and then soldiers, and order He Fu to send people back." In order to appease He Fu, I have decreed that his niece will be married to Gao Sui and the marriage will be completed next year. ”
This He Fu has been serving as the deputy general of Mu Ying's father and son in Yunnan, and led 50,000 southern soldiers to serve the king of Qin when Jing was martyred.
In the first year of Hongxi, he was given the seal of the general and sent to Ningxia as the chief military officer to control the armies of Shanxi, Shaanxi and Henan. In Ningxia, He Fu appeased the herdsmen outside the Saiwai, and many tribes came to take refuge one after another, and there has been nothing to do in the border areas for five years.
He Fu wrote a letter requesting the establishment of post houses, and like Yunnan, he actively cultivated fields and accumulated grain, and formulated a law with clear rewards and punishments.
It can be said that He Fu won the respect of Xu Hao and Zhu Gaochi, and last year in order to deal with the Tatars, he changed to guard Gansu. Xu Hao knew that He Fu was strict with the army, because some subordinates were very dissatisfied, and often wrote to remind him to pay attention to protecting himself and not to be separated by villains.
Zhu Gaochi also wrote that you have led the Han army for a long time, I am afraid that it will attract many people's slander, you are a veteran, I rely on it very much, please don't have any worries.
Marrying He Fu's niece to Zhu Gaosui, Xu Hao could only sigh, he couldn't stop it.
At the beginning of the year, Benjamin and Arutai wanted to invade the border pass, but they were defeated by Wara and fled to the area of the Yuqu River, preparing to peek into the Hexi Corridor.
The imperial court sent Zhang Yu and his son north to train soldiers and ordered He Fu to cooperate in preparing for war. The Mongol princes and nobles near the Yuqu River feared being annexed by Benjamin and migrated to Yijinai. Begging to cling to the Ming. Xu Hao suggested that Yang Rong go to Zhaofu, and He Fu and Yang Rong successfully brought 20,000 Mongols to Guannei, and the chieftains were escorted into Beijing, with Zhu Gaochi issuing a decree to crown He Fu as the Marquis of Ningyuan.
However, He Fuyin, Mei Yin, Li Jinglong and others have all had the experience of fighting against Zhu Di's father and son, although they are talented, they are always worried about being settled by the autumn queen, and they will inevitably hesitate and dare not be arbitrary.
Now Zhang Yu and his son have gathered 100,000 soldiers and horses, and there is a situation in Gansu that is about to erupt, Xu Hao in order to balance Warat and prevent it from taking advantage of the situation to annex Tatar and unify Mongolia. 30,000 troops from Liaodong have been ordered to go north to contain them.
After discussing the battle situation for a while, Zhu Gaochi said casually: "Chen Ying impeached Du Shan Zheng arrogantly and indulged in violating the law, and made his family leave the country without authorization. ”
Xu Hao frowned slightly, but didn't say anything. Zhu Gaochi's punishment was not wrong, but the person who impeached him was Chen Ying, which inevitably made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Vaguely, Xu Hao had a hunch that Chen Ying and others had begun to form a force. If the first generation of the cabinet is the most perfect, not seizing power and not fighting, and is a modest and low-key character, then it will inevitably create opportunities for others to take advantage of.
No one knows what will become of Langdao in the future. Xu Hao only hoped that Zhu Gaochi would be able to do as always, but he was afraid that after becoming the emperor, he would not listen to good words, and gradually became a monopoly on power or neglected the government.
I don't know why. Xu Hao naturally thought of Zhu Zhanji, as he grew older, Zhu Gaochi would definitely hand over many political affairs to his son to take care of, so what would the prince who tasted power become?
But said that the eunuch Sha Yucheng went to the Yang family, and he entered the study with familiarity, in his early years, he was born in the Qing Dynasty, and he liked to cultivate flowers and bamboos and other scholars, and he became a eunuch in the Qianqing Palace to serve flowers and plants, and was therefore appreciated by Zhu Gaochi.
When Yang Ji came to the study, he saw that he was struggling to water the flowers, and said: "These things were originally designed for fun, but if you bother like you, it will be a hard job." ”
Eunuch Sha smiled: "Seeing that you don't even have a scholar, I'm used to it, and I will do it myself when it's itchy." Thy house has one or two of those hard-working children, and I will teach them these ways. ”
When Yang Ji heard this, he couldn't help but touch the things in his heart, and said: "I value a young man who is a Qingke, not only do I know all these things, but even the qin, chess, and Xiao Guan are exquisite. There are many wealthy families who want him, but they are all rejected. It's that this person's affection has been opened, and he wants to get a woman, even if I reluctantly keep him, I can't stay for long, I have to be like my father-in-law, and I have also cleaned up for him, so I don't want to go out of the house in this way. ”
Eunuch Sha said, "What's so difficult about this? Let's find a way to coax him in. If you are willing to purify your body, it is best if you refuse, a few glasses of medicine and wine will get drunk on him, and gently cut off the thing, and even if you refuse to be a father-in-law when you wake up, you will not be able to grow humane. ”
Yang Ji was overjoyed and said with a smile: "After the matter is completed, I have to bother my father-in-law to support him, and I am not afraid to sue everywhere in the palace." After a year, you must not give it to others, you must keep it for me. ”
"That's nature." Eunuch Sha smiled, "I can make him obedient within half a year, and then Gongzi will send someone to take him home."
At the moment, the two talked and laughed happily, Yang Ji sealed two hundred taels of silver and gave Sha Yucheng to take away, feeling that he was short of money, he commanded with wine: "Go to Yao's house to see if he is not at home, and call him over." ”
The housekeeper Yang Ying went, and came back after a while and said, "The lady of the Yao family said that she was not at home, and she didn't know where she went." ”
Yang Ji said angrily: "This guy is hateful, dare to deceive me." Tomorrow Lao Yao will come, beat him hard, and he will not be allowed to come to the door again. ”
Fortunately, Yao Yuan's popularity is very good, and the Yang family is all friendly with each other, and when they saw him coming the next day, they all said to him: "Yesterday, the young master was very annoyed when he saw that you didn't come, and ordered that when you came, he told us to beat you up, and I wanted to beat you." ”
PS: Sure enough, is there candy for children with milk, I saw three monthly passes today, and Xiaochai continued to cry. The monthly pass is desperate to add more! (To be continued......)
