The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

the capital.Into the summer.Even in Shuntian Prefecture, which is located in the Northland.The hot weather is still not much better than Jiangnan.Even the environment here is hot and dry.It is even more uncomfortable than Jiangnan.

Long Qing, who was sitting in the imperial study, was also a little disturbed by the hot weather.Although in this huge Forbidden City.It is the place where the royal family lives, and the ice stored in the basement must be indispensable.And there was a court lady fanning Long Qing.But he still felt very irritable in his heart.At this time, Long Qing couldn't help complaining a little in his heart about the ancestor who moved the capital to Shuntian Mansion. .Ming Chengzu Zhu Di.Think how good the south is.Although the weather in summer is hotter than here.But also much moist.not to mention.Ying Tianfu's Qinhuai River, which blooms like flowers every night, makes Long Qing's heart itch even more.But this kind of words can only be thought in the heart.But how can I say it.

It may be related to the weather.Long Qing felt that his anger was rising.But when I thought of the maid who was serving the bed last night.Long Qing's hypocrisy became even more intense.The words show that there are many court ladies in the harem.However, except for the title of queen.Only concubine.There is no concubine.Those court ladies who have been favored by the emperor can get the title of concubine.It's just that Long Qing can be regarded as a master in this field and has read countless people.It was a psychological problem that was forced out by his father Jiajing.Now after he ascended the throne and became the emperor, it became more and more out of hand.If those court ladies who were favored by Long Qing were all made concubines.hehe.

Fortunately, the current empress Chen and Zhu Yijun's biological mother Li Guifei also followed Zhu Zaihou when he was still King Yu.know his faults.Although worried about his body.But now the two are the queen and concubine.I am also afraid of gossip saying that I am jealous.So there is not much to say.

Long Qing was letting his gorgeous thoughts divert his attention from the scorching heat.at this time.Feng Bao just pushed the door open and entered.interrupted his thoughts.

"See Your Majesty. Long live my emperor. Long live. Long..." Feng Baogang entered the door.Didn't even look at it.Thinking of the imperial desk where Long Qing was sitting, he knelt down.The slogans in his mouth that sounded like operas were yin and yang setbacks.But not artificial.

"Stop." Long Qing hurriedly stopped him from torturing his ears with noise. "It's already hot today. If you keep making such noise, I'm going to beat you up."

"Hey." Feng Bao laughed dryly.stand up.There was no embarrassment on his face.It seems to have been used to it for a long time. "Your Majesty. The servants also respect Your Majesty Longwei. I can't help it. I can't help it."

"Okay. Don't try to flatter me. Say anything else." Long Qing didn't care about Feng Bao's flattery either.Said.

Feng Bao looked at the two court ladies behind Long Qing who were fanning him.There was a bit of embarrassment on the face: "Your Majesty, it's about Mr. Zhang's affairs in the south of the Yangtze River. Didn't Your Majesty send your slaves to report?"

Long Qing heard him say that.Only then did I remember.He is also concerned about Zhu Yijun who is now in the south of the Yangtze River.But it's not easy to ask the Jinyiwei people directly.Although he is the emperor.But what if it reaches Zhang Fan's ears.Long Qing also didn't want Zhang Fan to feel that he didn't trust him.After all, he was very optimistic about Zhang Fan.That's when I found Feng Bao.Let him send the factory guards from the East Factory to find out.

Long Qing naturally knew.The prince went out of the palace privately.Although I personally allow it.But few people know about it.Except for Zhang Fan, Feng Bao, Zhang Juzheng and others.Only the guards guarding Zhu Yijun knew.besides.Even Zhu Yijun's biological mother Li Guifei still doesn't know about it.Long Qing knew what Feng Bao meant.But think of the hot weather.He was really reluctant to let these two court ladies who fanned him go out.

How did Feng Bao know what Long Qing was thinking.He was still feeling weird.Why is Long Qing so hesitant today.Even the look in the eyes of the two maids who went out was a bit inseparable.Could it be that he fell in love with these two.Feng Bao felt a little funny.

He picked up a memorial on the desk and slapped Shan in the face.Long Qing said, "Let's talk. Find out how things are going."

"Return to Your Majesty." Feng Bao took two steps forward.Just wanted to talk.However, Long Qing stopped him again.

"You. Stay away from me. It's too hot today." Long Qing interrupted Feng Bao.Say so.

Feng Bao was stunned for a while.Quickly took a few steps back.He continued: "Return to Your Majesty. Everything has been investigated clearly. Your Highness is fine now. I am in Suzhou with Master Zhang. I live in the Humble Administrator's Garden."

"Oh. I've heard of the name of the Humble Administrator's Garden." Long Qing heard that Zhu Yijun was safe and sound.Only then did I feel relieved. "Back then, I wanted to live there too. Unexpectedly, Jun'er went to see it first. Hehe. That's right. How is Zhang Aiqing's affairs going? I haven't given me a note recently."

"Return to Your Majesty. The first group of sea-going ships just came back a few days ago. It is estimated that Mr. Zhang has just started to deal with this matter this time." Feng Bao naturally inquired about some of the situation in this regard.Said. "It's said that it was because Master Zhang was present. Those officials didn't dare to take the red envelope from the returnee businessman. They even pushed it back secretly."

"Hmph. These people don't cry until they see the coffin. They know that I'm after them. Only then do they know how powerful they are." Long Qing said with a sneer. "This time the custody has given these people a taste of what's going on."

"Naturally at this time. These people are very greedy. I'm afraid they will suffer disaster now." Feng Bao echoed. "There is another happy event to tell His Majesty."

"Oh. What's the matter?" Long Qing asked suspiciously.

"I heard that the three boats returning to the sea belonged to one person. And this person paid more than 1000 million taels of silver just this time." Feng Bao said.

Hear the number.Long Qing was surprised.He is not very clear about the mercury handed over in the past two years.And the DPRK and China are concerned about this kind of tax money recovered from the merchants.Even if there are more, it will not be reported.I heard Feng Bao say the specific figures today.And it was only done by one person.Long Qing was suddenly surprised.But after being surprised.He was a little angry again.Long Qing naturally knew.Compared with the tax paid.Those merchants want to bribe those officials with more money.Now Long Qing heard the number Feng Bao told him.One can imagine.How much money those officials have pocketed.Originally letting Zhang Fan go to Jiangnan to pay taxes was just an opportunity to reward Zhang Fan.But now Long Qing really wants to crack down on corrupt officials.He remembered how Zhu Yuanzhang dealt with corrupt officials back then.Even now, he wants to issue an imperial edict to Zhang Fan.Let him punish those corrupt officials severely.

Feng Bao watched the words and expressions from the side.Knowing that Long Qing is angry now.Know that your purpose has been achieved.Although he came this time to report Zhu Yijun's situation at the order of Long Qing.But oh by chance.It made him think of a way to deal with the high arch and dash that he didn't deal with.Now it's time to come up with something to say.

Seeing that Long Qing calmed down a little.Feng Bao continued: "Your Majesty, don't let those villains who see profit and forget their righteousness get mad. Take care of your dragon body."

"Hmph." Long Qing snorted slightly dissatisfied.Said. "Do you have anything else to do?"

"Return to Your Majesty. This servant heard something by chance today. I think I should tell Your Majesty." Feng Bao said.

"What's the matter. Tell me." Long Qing said impatiently.

"Your Majesty, you still remember some days ago. Master Zhang's notes." Feng Bao didn't say it directly.Instead, it was brought up.

Feng Bao said so.Long Qing immediately remembered.After all, since Zhang Fan went to Jiangnan.Just made a fold.That's about Xu Jie's family affairs.It is said that when Xu Jie was still the chief assistant in the cabinet.Rely on the old and sell the old.Moreover, he used Long Qing to talk about things twice in three days.Long Qing really didn't want to see him.Only in this way did he retire and go home to retire.But Xu Jie was the elder of the two dynasties after all.He was another hero who was down on Yan back then.Now he is returning to his hometown.There is no longer any conflict with myself.But Gao Gong still refused to let him go.This made Long Qing have some opinions on Gao Gong.Zhang Fan's excerpt was directly sent to Long Qing through Jin Yiwei's channel.Among them, Feng Bao, the governor of the East Factory who was in charge of supervising Jinyiwei, was not seen by anyone else.Read that booklet.Long Qing also complained about Xu Jie.After all, he was very unpopular when he was King Yu.What happened to those farm laborers was easy for him to bring into himself.He also felt some sympathy for Xu Jie.But he had no idea about it.Had to put it down temporarily.Now I heard Feng Bao mention this matter again.Long Qing couldn't help frowning.He couldn't help thinking that Gao Gong really hated Xu Jie to the bone.Not willing to let him go at all.

"I remember. Tell me. What's going on." Long Qing said.

"Return to Your Majesty. The thing is like this." Feng Bao said slowly.

turn out to be.Feng Baoyin is still the eunuch holding the pen of the Supervisor of Rituals.Therefore, it is very unwelcome to dash.Whenever he finds a chance, he will go to the Supervisor of Rituals to hang around.To put it bluntly, it is to see if there is any fault in the rush.Dang Chong naturally knew that Feng Bao was dissatisfied with his position as eunuch of palm seal.Yet he also knew.Originally, this seat should have belonged to Feng Bao long ago.He only became the palm print eunuch because of Gao Gong.Therefore, Dash is quite rigorous in doing things on weekdays.Try not to let Feng Bao grasp the meaning.

Feng Bao got that Long Qing wanted to find out about Zhu Yijun's situation.When sending someone to investigate.Naturally, he would also inquire about Xu Jie's affairs.It's just that Feng Bao, who knew the truth of the matter, had no idea how to tell Long Qing about it.Make him suspicious of high arches and lunges.

today.Feng Bao wants to report to Long Qing about Zhu Yijun.Taking advantage of the gap that Long Qing hadn't returned from the court.He went to the Sili Supervisor again.As a result, this wandering.But found something.It turned out that Gao Gong knew that Zhang Fan was there to help.I have nothing to do with Xu Jie for the time being.So he sent his men to threaten the farm laborers.Force them to speak ill of Xu Jie.Then write it down and hand it to Long Qing.Although Gao Gong is now the chief assistant of the cabinet.However, these procedures still have to go through when handing over this booklet.So he handed over the booklet to Meng Chong.The rush is naturally to look forward to Gao Gong's horse's head.Very positive about this too.Who knows when he brought the excerpt to the Supervisor of Rituals today.It was because of sudden departure.Zhezi also stayed in the supervisor of ceremonies.

Feng Bao saw the excerpt.I changed my mind.Know your chance has come.He was going to sue Long Qing first.

Handed the booklet to Long Qing.Long Qing looked at it.But because of ignorance of the situation.Da is puzzled: "What's going on here? Didn't Zhang Aiqing's report last time say that Mr. Xu Ge didn't want to hand over his fields because he cared for those farm laborers? Why did Gao Gong report that he has been working for many years?" Exploiting those farm laborers. I am really confused."

"Your Majesty, that's actually what happened." Feng Bao then sent Gao Gong to harass Xu Jie's family.Now it is even more forcing those tricksters to cheat.Speaking bad things about Xu Jie.As well as the collusion between Gao Gong and Dash, everything was said.

Long Qing listened.Immediately the anger soared.That's how some people are.Especially those who are emperors.No matter how bad you are, no matter how problematic you are.But he didn't allow his ministers to do anything wrong at all.What's more, Long Qing is now on the verge of hearing about the anger of corrupt officials.The anger in my heart is even hotter.

"This Gao Gong. As the chief assistant of the cabinet, not only did he have an affair with the internal prisoner, but he even did such a dirty thing." Long Qing said angrily.Very loud. "I used to think that he was also a bold person. Who would have known his true face today. He is so narrow-minded."

"Xu Jie didn't force him out of this." Feng Bao said in his heart.But seeing Long Qing's current appearance.Feng Bao was happy.Know that your purpose has been achieved.He opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, calm down quickly. Isn't this the case in the officialdom? Your Majesty is the son of heaven. No one should behave in front of Your Majesty. But in this way, Your Majesty doesn't know many things. What's more It's unpredictable."

After listening to Feng Bao's words.Long Qing's mood calmed down a little.But the dissatisfaction with Gao Gong became more serious: "No way. I have to fix this Gao Gong."

"Your Majesty. Absolutely not." Feng Bao said hastily. "Gao Gong is fully prepared this time. Let's not say whether what these farmers are telling is true or not. If Gao Gong really sent someone to threaten them, they must not dare to tell the truth. If your majesty reprimands Gao Gong rashly. I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among the officials in the court." Feng Bao had a purpose in saying this.first.Long Qing would check this matter with Gao Gong now.Gao Gong will inevitably shirk in every possible way.In this way, Gao Gong will not be hurt; secondly.The longer this matter was held back in Long Qing's mind.The greater the resentment towards Gao Gong.Wait until the day when things break out.The impact on the high arch will be greater. "It would be best to get Gao Gong off the stage in one fell swoop." Feng Bao thought to himself.

"Could it be that I indulged him like this?" Long Qing said angrily.

"Master Zhang must have known about this situation. Now he will definitely try his best to help Mr. Xu Ge." Feng Bao said. "Wait until Mr. Zhang has a clue. It's not too late for His Majesty to make trouble. It's easy to hit it in one fell swoop."

Long Qing nodded after hearing what he said.But he still has some doubts: "Isn't Zhang Aiqing at odds with Mr. Xu Ge? How could he help Mr. Xu Ge so much? Could it be that his teacher Zhang Juzheng got rid of him."

"Master Cifu must have told Master Zhang about this matter." Feng Bao said. "However, this servant thinks that Mr. Zhang's help to the elder may not be entirely because of Mr. Cifu. After all, with Mr. Zhang's character, even if he is an enemy, he can no longer threaten him now. Since he knows about this matter, he must also I will have a little pity for Elder Ge. Naturally, I will help Elder Ge." Feng Bao secretly supported Zhang Fan in front of Long Qing.in his eyes.Zhang Fan has a bright future.It is also an early plan now.

"Zhang Aiqing is good at everything. It's just that she is too kind." Sure enough.Long Qing took the bait. "It seems that we have to think of ways to deal with Zhang Aiqing in the future. Otherwise, the censors in the court will not be able to bear him just by making a few jokes."
