Both Cui and Xie lived alone and had no female dependents. No matter how close they were, nothing would happen. Even if the two smashed the short wall in the middle of the garden and rebuilt it into a large garden, the gardener only thought that their official master thought the original garden was small, and the two were built together to make a big one.
As for the small building in the middle of the garden, it is not like the theater or viewing building built by ordinary officials, but a small book building.
Just like the two library buildings that Cui Xie built in Qian'an and Nanguan, books are placed upstairs and read downstairs. It's just that because it is a small building of his own, there are also long tables and sofas in the library upstairs; there are two guest rooms next to the reading room downstairs.
If someone reads a book until late at night, they can rest in it directly without opening the door in the middle of the night.
When the two uncles first heard about the plan of this small building, they thought it was for themselves. The two of them scared themselves, and the more they thought about it, the more real they became. They were so frightened that their hearts were cold and their legs were weak. They didn't dare to tell their father, so they secretly went to the palace to ask the emperor's brother-in-law to give them real jobs, so that they didn't need to stay at the teacher's house to study.
Zhang Heling was still young, so he had no choice but to hide, but his elder brother Yanling was about seventeen. He knelt in front of the Emperor Hongzhi and said, "This minister should start a family and start a business now, to drive for His Majesty, and An Neng is locked in like the scholars outside. Reading upstairs? I would like to put on armor and hold a sword immediately, and go down to Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian to inspect the area to prevent Japanese pirates from invading!"
As for General Wang and Shou Renxian... The burden of attacking the Tartars in the north with Uncle Shi and the others was entrusted to his younger brother.
Seeing that his brother was about to dump him out, Zhang Heling grinned in panic, hugged him and said, "How can you leave me, my brother? I also want to do good for the country and serve your majesty!"
Emperor Hongzhi made the two brothers-in-law make a fuss and couldn't bear to listen to their dream-like rhetoric. Since he doesn't know the painstaking efforts I've made for you, it's not for you—perhaps it's also for you, but he also has two younger brothers who are studying. That's what he should spend in books day and night. I'm afraid that when the Lai Ri Book Building is built, it will not be your turn to spend the night."
After a few words of comfort, seeing that the Zhang brothers were still apprehensive, he could only sigh: "After the next day's talk, I will tell him not to restrain you too much. Your brothers haven't reached the crown yet, so I can't either. I will ask you to do things immediately, otherwise the king and the queen will also worry. You are crying and begging me here, why don't you go back to Haosheng to learn martial arts with Xie Zhenfu, practice your husband's health-preserving exercises, and when you can fly over the eaves and walls, I can rest assured that you will be on your own."
The two national uncles can't say that they can solve the case like a god, and they are considered to be familiar. If they can fly over the eaves and walls again, they can really be little heroes in Jinyiwei Zaju.
Zhang Yanling went out of the hall and discussed it with his brother, "If you don't go back, I'll explain to your husband. We asked for his house for him, in order to ask Xie Zhen to teach us martial arts?"
Uncle Zhang Guo was still immersed in the pain of being left by his elder brother, and snorted twice: "I'm still young, and I can't fight Japanese pirates even if I learn it. I'm not in a hurry."
Da Zhang coaxed his younger brother: "Didn't I think that you would go to the north with General Wang and Uncle Bo'an to reject the Tatars, I'll go to the south first to wipe out the Japanese troubles, so you don't have to worry about your back? Well, speaking of Bo'an It's been two years since my uncle got married, and I don't know when I came back from the south, and can I get some news about the Japanese pirates in the south."
Although the two of them couldn't look forward to Saint Wang, they felt a little excited when they remembered that there was another Prince Wang who could take them to play for a few days. The brothers were discussing whether to go to Xiangshan or Pingpo Mountain this time, hunting or horse racing, but the eunuch who sent them out smiled and said, "If the two uncles want to go out of the city to relax, our family has a place outside Beijing. There are also several hundred acres of land in the playground, and they keep some tame little things like elk and pheasant. If you don’t like hunting, you can watch opera and listen to music. We have some girls who can sing in our house. The famous Qiu Xi Ban in Beijing sings well..."
Listening to his words, the two uncles gradually slowed down and looked back at him.
His eyes were full of wisdom.
The eunuch bowed his head slightly and said with a smile, "Our family is the one who serves the Son of Heaven and the Empress, and the two uncles are the Empress's beloved brother, so how dare our family serve them without heart? If we are afraid that Lord Cui will not allow us, our family will ask the Empress to pass on a word, Lord Cui, I am afraid that you have to take into account the empress's love for her brother, right?"
Uncle Zhang Daguo took a close look at the eunuch's face and remembered that he was an old man used by Hongzhi from the East Palace. His name was Li Guang, and he was a common eunuch around the emperor. Although he was not a Quan Huan who was killed from the bloody turmoil of the previous dynasty like Tan and Gao's second father-in-law, he was once very favored.
once favored.
This eunuch seems to know some Taoist spells, and has taught the emperor how to prolong his life. In the past, when the emperor was weak, he used his spells, and he believed in him. The most favored person was around the birth of the crown prince. He persuaded the emperor to issue a scripture card to the courtiers to praise him, and to seal a few more Immortal New Emperor.
However, later, the emperor recommended Cui Xie to enter the palace and told the emperor about health care, and this eunuch Li fell out of favor.
After all, praying to God and worshipping Buddha did not worship the dragon body of the Son of Heaven. It was only by nutritious meals, exercise, and reasonable work and rest that Hongzhi's body gradually became stronger.
Before, the emperor used him as a teacher for the day, but now he is just an ordinary favored eunuch with two giant Buddhas on top of it. How can Eunuch Li endure this gap
He didn't read much, and he had also heard the words "Feng Tang Yi Lao, Li Guang is difficult to seal", for fear that he would also answer this fate, he has always tried his best to climb up. It was hard to get through until the young master ascended the throne, and he was favored because he knew some Taoism, but this way of ascending was ruined by a Hanlin lecturer who could guide the method of nourishing qi—
Is there any reason for this!
A Hanlin who didn't do a good job of writing a fuss and was in charge of state affairs actually compared his approach to their eunuchs!
But he is an old eunuch in his fifties, no matter his age and appearance, he can't compete with Cui Xie; in terms of mana, he is not as good as his actual performance, and he has adjusted the bodies of the emperor and the emperor; not to mention that Cui Xie has another item. The Hanlin servants also did an excellent job in their own duties. No matter what aspect of comparison, Cui Xie pressed Li Guang down and couldn't lift his head. It was difficult for him to return to his original position in front of the emperor, so he had to take the road of empress.
And Empress Zhang's favorite is her two uncles.
Originally, he was all about the path of the immortal master, disdain to put down his figure to please the country uncle who was still a little boy, but now he had to bow his head to the power.
However, even if he lowered his head, the world did not treat him kindly.
The two uncles turned their heads and read a book, and told the emperor what he said exactly, saying that he intended to lure and bribe the uncle with sensuality, and to induce the queen to interfere in the minister's family affairs through their brothers. There is such a eunuch to have a manor, after all, he must be greedy! Fortunately, the two of them followed Xie Zhenfuxue to solve the case for many years, and they saw through this eunuch's original intention at a glance, how could he allow him to make trouble in the palace!
The two of them tried to break so many fake cases, and finally had the opportunity to break the real case!
The uncle Shang Zhezi sued the eunuch for disorderly administration, which is a strange story that has never been seen in the ages. The four elders looked at the memorial handed over by the Secretary of General Affairs, and couldn't help but look at each other, feeling that they didn't know where they were.
It was Xu Pu who first came back to his senses and said with a clear cough: "It's rare that the two uncles are virtuous and upright, and they can be regarded as examples of foreign relatives. Then Li Guang used Taoist magic to lure the sage, and now there is another uncle who has made it clear. In my opinion, his unrighteous heart should be dealt with appropriately."
This intern must have the heart to gain power.
Liu Jian and Qiu Jun have also written praises on the scriptures and modified the titles of immortals. They all know that there are eunuchs behind them. However, this eunuch has not played much with power since the birth of Yuanzi. They are ministers who do not care about the affairs of the palace, so they have not asked too much. Now that the uncle of the country has filed a lawsuit, and there is evidence, isn't it a good time to tell the emperor to stay away from this traitor
The three of them didn't care about Liu Shoufu, they wrote the receipt on their own. Anyway, as long as Liu Shoufu wanted to get involved, he would write his name on the first one.
Liu Shoufu took a leisurely look at the memorial and the ink note they had drawn up. It was not until the memorial from the uncle of the country was delivered that he took a second glance and picked up the pen to sign his name.
Emperor Hongzhi received a memorial from his brother-in-law against Eunuch Li, and was no less frightened than the elders.
On one side is the Queen's uncle, and on the other is the former pet prisoner with immortal spells, Emperor Hongzhi has a dilemma... But in the end, because Eunuch Li's spells and prayers are not as effective as the health preservation techniques taught by Cui Shi, this spell is mixed If the water is filled, the holy grace left to him by the Son of Heaven is inevitably mixed with some water, but it is not enough to resist the eccentricity of the queen.
The emperor pondered for a long time, and changed the "gushuzhi" to "check the origin of the farmland", and taught the east factory to deal with it.
Since the Chenghua period, it has been small and transparent, and in the Hongzhi period, the Dongchang factory has finally caught a major case. Yang Peng, the eunuch of the East Factory, did not dare to be perfunctory. He seconded Li Qianhu, who was as talented as Mr. Gongsun next to Bao Zheng, from Jinyiwei. The account book of Chinese officials' bribery is here!
In the factory, Qianhu and Baihu followed behind Li Qianhu, calling him "Brother Li" without a word, congratulations to him for solving another major case, and the emperor's reward is just around the corner.
Li Qianhu shook the copied list, like Zhuge Liang shaking a feather fan, and sighed leisurely: "This case is the credit of the two uncles, what can I say? Besides, I don't want to be promoted at this time— In the next Jinyiwei Zaju, I heard that 14,000 households were killed in the Japanese country, and if I leave this center, wouldn’t the 14,000 households fight against Japanese pirates in total?”
He is really a person who regards fame and fortune as dung, does not rely on merit, and does not seek fame and fortune. When writing the case file, he does not particularly write about his own merits. Instead, he has the eyes of the two uncles like a torch, and can see the essence of Li Guang at a glance. .
When Yang Changgong reported the results of the case to the emperor, he also deliberately praised the uncle of the country, only saying: "The ability of the uncle of the country, even Li Qianhu, who enjoys the name of counselor in Jinyiwei, is worthy of being the queen's brother. If it weren't for the two Uncle Guo saw at a glance that Li Guanghuai was hiding his treacherous heart, and the slaves almost indulged these thieves and prisoners who were treacherous, deceitful, greedy and greedy to confuse the saint!"
The emperor looked at the evidence in the document that officials in the DPRK and China bribed Li Guang, and felt angry and regretful in his heart. Annoyed that Li Guang really did not show his face to him, and regretted that he didn't listen to Zhang Guozhang's words, and took care of Cui Xie earlier, and even favored such a greedy eunuch.
But he still felt that Li Guang had some Taoism, so he asked Yang Peng: "You wait to check Guang's house, can you find out whether there is any heavenly book in his house?"
Yang Peng replied: "The inspection was personally brought by the slaves, and the slaves and slaves have personally inspected the houses and farms and farms, and there is absolutely no scripture! Let's talk about the scriptures, not even an ordinary Taoist book. see you!"
Eunuch Li was favored by Taoism, and Yang Peng would not give it to the emperor even if he found the true Taoist talisman. He asked the emperor to remember the benefits of Li Guang again and tell him to turn over.
Not only did he never recognize the existence of Taoist books, but he also advised the emperor: "Li Guangding is an ordinary person. If he has Taoism, how can he not know that the two uncles are clean and honest, and want to lure them with money? If there is Taoism, then Why do you fall into prison and not escape
That's right... If there is a Taoist technique, why is it possible to draw a talisman and pray to the gods for so long, and it is not as effective as Cui Xie's ordinary health-preserving technique of practicing martial arts
The emperor finally admitted that he had been deceived by Li Guang from the beginning to the end. This eunuch was not an immortal, but a liar. Back then, when the first emperor raised a demon monk from the first palace, he had warned himself not to repeat the same mistakes, but then he was tricked by a eunuch who did not concoct alchemy but drew talismans for so many years...
Fortunately, there is Cui Xie, a person who really understands health preservation. Fortunately, the father of the country gave a pair of beloved sons to Cui Xie to teach him, and he raised two uncles who are clear-headed, loyal and just. Today, Li Guang's true face is revealed. Otherwise, he is afraid that he will be deceived by this person, and even take the old path of the previous emperor.
The emperor was resolute and determined to stop believing in the doctrine of the gods, and dealt with the inner servants and monks who were involved with Li Guang, and completely cleaned up the palace.
During the storms in the palace, Liu Jin, a servant who had been with Li Guang for many years, but his position was not very high, was also sent to the East Palace to serve as the imperial court.
