After the three of Li Dongyang were imprisoned, the bullets of the Metropolitan Court flew into the center like snowflakes. Wan An, Liu Ji, Peng Hua, and Yin Zhi, four scholars, also held a meeting to study the emotional memorial.
Wan An, Liu Ji, and Yin Zhi have always been members of Wan Guifei's party, and Peng Hua was also cited by Wan and Liu into the center. Everyone in the meeting definitely didn't want to study how to get the three of Li Dongyang out, but there were too many memorials. After they were sent to the inner court, if the emperor was dissatisfied with it, he thought they would not be able to do things. Wouldn't this damage their favor.
Wan Ge Lao Nianxu sighed: "The censors are too ignorant. Choosing a concubine is a royal matter, so why should outsiders comment?"
Yin Zhi echoed: "Shoufu's words are very true. These censors criticize the royal affairs for the purpose of slandering the emperor and selling their righteousness, and their hearts can be punished. Let's choose a book and see which one's identity is not suitable to criticize the royal affairs. Send them in together, and ask the Holy Order to send them to the imperial prison."
Peng Hua snorted coldly: "The three of them are imprisoned, and the memorial is aggressive. Don't they have the intention of forming a party to force Ling Jun to go up? Jin Yiwei has not tried to reveal the truth. This new governor is really ineffective!"
When these words were spoken, with a monstrous bloody aura, they wanted to label the three of Li Dongyang and these ministers who had saved lives into someone's henchmen and cleanse the imperial court.
Although Wan An and Liu Ji are not good people, they just love the position of power and do not want to make such a big case under their own hands. What's more, Concubine Wan is already in her 60s, and there is a new favorite like Concubine Shao Xian by the emperor's side. How many years can she take care of her old love
In this case, even Beizhen Fusi is standing on the side of Li Dongyang and the three of them. He has been paying tribute to the Ning family.
What's more, they are the first assistant and the second assistant, their power has reached the peak, and no matter how many people they kill, they will not be able to go further.
Wan An shook his head to suppress Peng Hua, and Liu Ji came up with a muddled idea: "I see that in those memorials, there are many people who impeached Eunuch Liang and Eunuch Wei, their servants, but they complained that they had released rumors of choosing a concubine early, which caused the people to feel bad about it. To avoid elections and get married indiscriminately. We might as well ask His Majesty to decree that private marriages be banned, and that people who have daughters send their daughters to Beijing."
As soon as this decree came out, the people should calm down, and those who impeached the two nobles of the inner servant and the Wan family would be able to calm down. As for the three of Li Dongyang, it was disrespectful to write their royal names as taboos on purpose.
Liu Mianhua is good at using a "drag" tactic, any impeachment can be dragged by dragging it, and it has been impeached for so many years.
Wan An knew that he had rich experience, so he used his idea and asked the saint to announce the selection of his concubine in the morning, so that the people of Beijing and Hebei would offer their daughters to the palace.
The emperor of Chenghua was also upset by the day-to-day tumult. He immediately issued an decree, ordering the Ministry of Rites to issue an decree, and the eunuchs selected people by household. son.
When the decree was transmitted to Anxi Palace, Concubine Wan listened, and her face was a little frosty, and she was unhappy.
Concubine Wan felt unhappy that the two brothers were impeached; she was even more upset when she saw that the prince was about to choose a concubine to marry. She asked people to invite the emperor to the palace, recalling old events, and complaining that the ministers only had the prince in their hearts, ignoring the sage's face.
Emperor Chenghua comforted Concubine Wan in a warm voice for a long time, and then ordered people to go to the treasury to ask for money, and rewarded Wanda and Wanxi with gold, silk, pearls and jade—the treasury had already been emptied by Liang and Wei. But if you want to spend money, you have to ask for it from the treasury, which is not as convenient as when the inner treasury is abundant.
Fortunately, the current household is Liu Ji, and the funds are very happy. If you change someone, you have to add another heavy heart to the emperor.
But every time he thought of the empty inner vault, the emperor Chenghua still felt a little gloomy. In addition, Liang and Wei made a good choice of concubine on the main frequency, and the court was in chaos. After all, the emperor was a little cold to them.
At this time, the prince came to trouble him again.
The prince came to meet him in full court attire, and his thin body was wrapped in heavy Chinese clothes, which seemed to be invincible. As soon as he entered the door, he interceded for the three of Li Dongyang and said: "The three officials are all loyal and worthy ministers, and it is also the minister's duty to give advice to the ministers. The typo in the memorial is also a minor mistake, and the three have already reflected on a lot in the prison. On the next day, I hope the royal father will issue an edict to bring them out of prison as soon as possible."
The courtiers did not worry, even if the joint chapter forced him, the crown prince even came to trouble him for such trivial matters! The emperor snorted coldly: "It's because of you, the marriage!"
The prince immediately bowed his head and apologized, but he did not retreat a step, and insisted on persuading: "If the marriage of my son causes the people to shake and the palace is uneasy, the son is willing to stop the marriage. The selected people are all in the two capitals of the north and the south, and the people are also here. Why is there such a chaos today? This is a disorder of the internal supervisor. I hope the father and the emperor strictly control this generation, and do not blame the ministers."
He raised his eyes to look at Liang Fang, who was on the side, Shen Guang Ling Ran, seeing Eunuch Liang lowered his eyebrows and pleasing to his eyes, he didn't dare to speak.
But the Emperor Chenghua didn't like to listen to what he said, and said suddenly: "This slave of my family, why should I predict the other thing! No, talk about the state affairs, go back to the palace, prepare for you, marriage!"
He instructed the attendants to forcibly help the prince out, and gave Liang Fang a cold look at the troublemaker, leaving him behind, and only asked Qin Chang and Gao Liang to help him to rest.
The two eunuchs Tan Gao tacitly glanced at each other, and they each had their own concerns:
The inner servant is not afraid of greed or cruelty, as long as he can serve to the satisfaction of the emperor, he is afraid of causing trouble for the emperor. This time Liang and Wei stabbed the hornet's nest and called the ministers to the palace, which made the young master angry and the emperor displeased. Although the two adults of the Wan family slandered each other, who is the Wan family, and who are they slaves? Is there a face called the emperor who is always tolerant
Afterwards, the kindness of the two people was sparse.
Eunuch Gao's expression was indifferent, holding back his joy in his heart, and taking care of the affairs around the emperor more and more wholeheartedly.
Because Liang Fang was reprimanded and did not dare to serve in front of the Holy Spirit, Eunuch Gao spent two more days in the palace before returning home. When he got home, he saw his beloved son Gao Su approaching him intimately, thanking him for his hard work, and congratulating him on his greater favor in front of the emperor.
Eunuch Gao stopped being tense in front of his son and said with a smile, "You're so good, your father has only stayed in the palace for two more days, so you know that I'm favored again?"
Gao Baihu smiled: "Dad is so diligent and respectful, and it is only natural that he gets a face in front of the emperor every time. But this time I have a guess because Xie Zhenfu is here again. The family is here to give gifts - Dad presented the picture of the Antiy General Assembly last time, didn't the emperor like it? This time he sent another picture of the immortals holding a birthday. The second day of the next month will be Shengshou. Offer it up, the emperor will definitely like it more after seeing it."
Eunuch Gao smiled even more proudly, and instructed his family: "Bring the painting of the young master, and I will share it with my wife."
Gao Baihu stopped him and said with a drooling smile: "Don't worry, Daddy, that painting is still in Xie Zhenfu's hands. Your son works for others, and your old man has to help me and talk to him face to face. Bar?"
Only then did Eunuch Gao know that Xie Ying did not give him a gift, but came to beg him with a gift.
Such a person who can do things, is considerate, is not greedy for merit, but never asks for others, but now he has asked him, and he has taught him a different kind of pleasure, so he asked his son: "What does he want to ask for? Me? Is it still the painting of that genius last time?"
Gao Baihu said: "He said it wasn't a problem, but it was something that would be of great benefit to daddy. Besides the painting, there are also some fine pearls and precious stones. The son seems to be giving his wife a hairpin. There are also some overseas. The glassware that came here looks moist and penetrating, and your old man must also like it. He is so sincere, if it doesn’t matter, why don’t dad just take care of him?”
Eunuch Gao thought for a while, then suddenly smiled: "My son, if he says it doesn't matter, he really doesn't matter? I'm afraid that what he came to me to say is the most important thing today..."
Gao Baihu sighed and asked, "Could it be that what he wants to say is the same thing that the ministers in the court are fighting for? That is the matter of the civil servants, what are we Jinyiwei doing! If my father can't control this matter, I will Go tell him now and tell him to take the gift back."
Eunuch Gao asked his son to say "I can't handle it" in person, but he was not angry, and smiled lightly: "No, you call him first, I will listen to what he has to say."
Gao Baihu went out and called Xie Ying with a question on his head.
Xie Ying took the gift list and took the paintings that Cui Xie spent three days and nights driving out, and went to the hall to meet Eunuch Gao. Eunuch Gao held the tea and asked him why he came. Xie Ying held the scroll and the gift list, lowered her eyebrows, and said with a warm smile: "Xiaguan is here to give your father-in-law a favor."
Eunuch Gao looked at him with a teacup, and asked solemnly: "Are you here to speak on behalf of Li Dongyang and others? Don't you know that this is the intention of the sage, and all the honors and favors of my servants came out from above, and brushed the will of the sage. , If you lose your Sacred Heart, how dare you say grace, honor, wealth and honor!"
Xie Ying said firmly, "Eunuch Gao's own qualifications and abilities are not weaker than Eunuch Liang, and there is a good child like Gao Baihu who has a sacred heart. Is it really willing to live in the world for a long time? Today's matter is that the father-in-law has gone a step further. Great time!"
Eunuch Gao saw Liang Fang being left out in the palace, and he secretly had some thoughts in his heart. Hearing his words, he felt more comfortable, but he still held his posture and snorted softly: "Do you think you will give another one? Painting, the sage forgot Liang Fang? That Liang Fang is deeply favored by Wan Niangniang..."
Xie Ying just said lightly: "Now the empress is getting older, but the prince has grown up, and he is about to get married again."
Eunuch Gao's eyelids trembled, his sharp eyes focused on his face, and he asked, "What do you mean? Aren't you afraid that I will tell the empress?"
Xie Ying also looked at him and asked back with a smile: "Father-in-law has always been favored by the saint, so why should he borrow the power of the harem? Besides, once the empress does not have a trusted eunuch, how can she not rely on the favored person of the emperor?"
Eunuch Gao took a deep breath, put down the teacup, leaned towards him, and sighed, "I'm afraid this won't happen. The niangniang has cried a lot about this matter, and the emperor will take it seriously, not even the young master to plead for mercy. Yun, what can I do as a slave! Let's be honest, your painting is a living fairy, and the emperor doesn't like her."
Xie Ying shook his head slightly: "The key to this matter is not the painting, but the people. The lower official has made a special trip these days to find someone to identify the text on the trio's troupe. The strokes should have been reduced."
Eunuch Gao's eyes were about to stand up, and he squeezed a heavy voice from between his teeth: "You have spoken out about this matter, are you not afraid that our family will ruin the performance?"
Don't be afraid.
Xie Ying looked down at the picture scroll in his hand, and replied indifferently: "It doesn't make a big difference whether there is a copy of the memorial or not; whether the three of Li Xueshi can get away with their crimes, as long as the Sacred Heart doesn't move, it doesn't make any difference - the three of them have already After pleading guilty and paying the redemption rod, it should have been released at this time, but the decree has not been issued, and it is just to stay in the zhenfusi for more days."
"This report is true or false. In fact, it has nothing to do with the three officials in the prison, and has nothing to do with the lower officials and the Zhenfu Division, but only for the future of my husband..."
If it can be found out that Liang and Wei did this, it means that they privately changed the memorial and framed the minister. Framing the minister is not a terrible crime, but the matter of privately changing the memorial has stabbed the emperor's heart, enough to make the two of them unable to turn around for a lifetime.
Eunuch Gao's breathing became more and more rapid, his hand tapped on the table, looking at the picture scroll in Xie Ying's hand, thinking about whether his idea was feasible and how to do it.
It was precisely because he presented the picture of "Antian Conference" that he was loved by the emperor, that he gradually rose from the eunuch of the lijian to the eunuch of the present pen. Now the big companion of Wynn was sent to Nanjing to be punished because of his admonishment when the emperor wanted to abolish the prince, and he was sent to Nanjing to be punished; except for Qin Chang, who succeeded him, the Sili Jian has the most power.
Only the supervisor of the rites can access the memorial. If the text on the memorial was really bought by Liang Fang to reform the internal supervisor, he would be able to find out the truth in prison; The two of them poured sewage on them...
Xie Ying, the soothing envoy, is truly worthy of his status, and he is much more ruthless than their servants!
He thought about sweating slightly on his forehead, took a few sips of the cool tea, raised his eyes and looked at Xie Ying for a while, then lowered his eyes slowly: "Give that painting to our house."
