The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

Shuntian Mansion.The capital of the Ming Dynasty.In the Forbidden City.The rest of the season made this city in the Northland feel extremely hot.This period of time can be regarded as the peak period of ice use.Especially for such a huge place as the Forbidden City.There are also a large number of dignitaries living in the capital.Because there was no refrigeration technology in ancient times.Storing ice cubes is nothing more than storing them in a cool basement.At this moment.The price of a piece of ice is really beyond the reach of ordinary people.However, for dignitaries and dignitaries in the palace.These things are nothing but necessities of life.No matter how great the value is, it is better than making yourself feel comfortable.

In the Forbidden City.Long Qing, who finished court, started his day of a more leisurely life.Although Long Qing was arrogant and extravagant.But it is different from his money and grain Ren Daming Emperor.

Ming Wuzong Zhengde was absolutely playful all his life.I have liked to play and play since I was a child.Even after becoming emperor.Actually wearing a costume to "perform" on stage.It can be seen from this that he has a stubborn temper.The adult Zhengde Emperor for his own enjoyment.The notorious Leopard House was specially built in later generations.To put it bluntly, it is the place where he keeps women and animals in captivity for his enjoyment.It may be inappropriate to say the word captivity to a woman.But it is definitely of this nature.Zhu Houyi even died there in the end.

Let's talk about Long Qing's previous one.It was Long Qing's father.The famous Jiajing Emperor.Wuzong Zhu Houyi had no heirs.After death, he left a will.Zhu Houcong, the eldest son of King Xingxian and his contemporaries, succeeded to the throne.This is a great thing for others.However, for Zhu Houcong, who is suspicious by nature.This has become a piece of his heart disease.Frightened all day and all night.Lest someone covet his throne.Neither court.It made everyone in the imperial court, inside and outside the royal family feel in danger.The most typical victim is Jiajing's own son.Zhu Zaihou.

Zhu Zaihou has been tortured by the invisible mental pressure of his own father for so many years.As the emperor, he likes to squander his days.There is only one other way to vent yourself.That is naturally a woman.To what extent.It can be seen from why Xu Jie disregarded the etiquette of the emperor and ministers and corrected him in front of his face.But Zhu Zaihou still has the thought of being a wise king.So even if the imperial city is hot again.He also insisted on going to court.Did not hide in any summer resort.Or build an entertainment place for yourself or something.this.Maybe it's what makes Zhu Zaihou different from other emperors.It is natural to perfectly combine the two irrelevant factors of pleasure and diligence in himself.Those officials and royal officials who wanted to criticize him really had no good reason to accuse him.

These days.Zhu Zaihou's life can be regarded as very stable and comfortable.The world seems to be at peace.But after all, the word "peace" was touched.Nothing to worry about.I answer that I have negotiated peace with the imperial court.The Far Lands has no troubles either.The son who always wants to lead by example is not there.No one to bother yourself and not be able to fight back.His own queen was weak and sickly.Just go and see it every day.The most important thing is that Concubine Li Gui is now focused on her newborn son Zhu Yichun.Where is the time to care which palace I stayed in last night.Really happy.Long Qing even felt that.This is the life an emperor should enjoy.

certainly.Except for one Zhang Fan who was not around.Think of Zhang Fan.Long Qing also felt happier.Let’s talk about when Zhang Fan first became an official.Long Qing didn't know what was going on.As soon as I saw this young man, I liked it very much.Immediately, he also deliberately promoted and cultivated him.If Xu Jie didn't get in the way.Zhang Fan is now estimated to be able to go to court every morning.Standing in a place where Long Qing could clearly see his appearance.

But honestly.Long Qing didn't care about the situation that Xu Jie had facilitated.Even some thanks to him.If Xu Jie hadn't come out to stop him then.Zhang Fan is now at best a third-rank courtier.certainly.This is for those who are just starting out.Can be promoted to this position within a year.That is simply the greatest kindness of the emperor.However, Long Qing didn't want to be so slow.At that time, Zhang Fan could no longer mix in those standing teams.Fortunately, Long Qing transferred him to Jinyiwei.In addition to making up for Zhang Fan.It was also for Xu Jie to see.Don't you, Xu Jie, dislike seeing Zhang Fan's rise to the top?I am Emperor Ming.For the emperor.There are ways.If this path doesn’t work, just change to another one.

and.After all, Zhang Fan was a Jinshi.Another champion.Asking him to be a Jinyiwei was wronged him.That's all.It was only natural that Long Qing wanted to reward Zhang Fan with something.Just like Zhang Fan went to Beidi to negotiate with Alda.Although the credit is not small.Not only contributed to the success of the negotiation.It also avoided the disaster of Ming and Tatar military disasters.He even secretly did a lot of "private affairs" for Long Qing.After returning, Zhang Fan was promoted to the position of commander by Long Qing.He even added the honorable title of Prince Taifu to him.It stands to reason.Although Zhang Fan's contribution is great.But it shouldn't be this far.However, although the courtiers were dissatisfied.But after all, few stood up and said something.Think about it too.Back then, these people also booed after Xu Jie.You have brought down an official with a promising future.Do the kind of shameful deeds in your eyes.The emperor is not allowed to compensate one or two.

Think about it.Long Qing felt slightly complacent.Walking is also a little lighter.Came to the royal study.Sitting on the dragon chair.Long Qing hadn't picked up his teacup to take a sip of tea.Then I found that there was a booklet alone on my desk.see this.Long Qing naturally understood.The supervisor of ceremonies does not have the tradition of handing over the notebooks so early.This booklet could only come from Jinyiwei or Dongchang who are directly under him.

Long Qing picked up the booklet and opened it.Sure enough, it was Zhang Fan.see this.Long Qing couldn't help feeling a little happy.Xin said that he was still thinking about Zhang Fan just now.His booklet will be here soon.but.The happy expression on Long Qing's face also changed constantly as his eyes moved on the booklet.Wait until after reading the booklet.Long Qing's complexion has completely changed.That's not anger.But a stern look.

"Come here." Long Qing said in a low voice.

The little lady on duty outside the door heard his call.Immediately walked in and knelt in front of Long Qing.Respectfully said: "Your servant is here. Please give orders, Your Majesty."

"You go. Have someone call me some cabinet ministers. And Zhao Bingran, Minister of the Ministry of War, also call me." Long Qing ordered.

The little lady listened to what he said but didn't act immediately.Instead, he replied, "Report to Your Majesty. Although Zhao Bingran, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, Mr. Zhao has returned from his illness, he is still on his way back to Beijing."

"Hmm. I forgot. Now the Ministry of War should be managed by Tan Lun, the left servant of the Ministry of War. You go and call Tan Lun here." Long Qing ordered.

"Observe the order." The little eunuch replied.Immediately turned around and went.

Wait until all the people arrive.Long Qing didn't wait long in the imperial study.The little eunuch who went to call someone would also be aware of his words.Knowing that Long Qing must have something important to do.So I didn't dare to delay.But that's it.Long Qing had already drunk five or six cups of tea.Obviously he was very upset.

Several people entered the imperial study room together.I bowed down immediately.Shan Hu said: "My minister sees Your Majesty. Long live my emperor..."

It's not over yet.Long Qing interrupted them: "All right, all right. Talk all day long. My ears can almost hear cocoons. Get up. I didn't call you here today to listen to your flattery."

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay.But no matter how stupid they are.Who hasn't been playing around for many days in officialdom.How could he not see that Long Qing was troubled in his heart.Naturally, no one will touch this mold.I had to get up quickly.They said in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

As the head of the cabinet.Naturally, Gao Gong wanted to be the first to speak: "I don't know what is the important thing for your Majesty to call your ministers here at this time." Yes.Experienced a morning.It's almost noon now.If nothing important.Long Qing would definitely not be in a hurry to call them here.

to be honest.No one present knew what had happened.Waited until the palace.Discover.All four cabinet ministers were there.Everyone knew immediately that something serious must have happened.But what is it.They have no brows at all.Naturally, Gao Gong winked and "friended" with Guo Pu and the two of them; Li Chunfang still stood there like an old monk in meditation.It seems that he has entered the highest realm of selflessness in Buddhism; and Zhang Juzheng is still the same as usual.Thinking about what happened in my heart.

But then the four of them found out.All four members of the cabinet have arrived.but did not let them in.Long Qing must have called someone else.Everyone knew immediately.Long Qing asked them why they came here.We can definitely see the clue from him or them.

really.Not long after.A figure came towards them.

"Yo. Hello, my lords." Tan Lun greeted several people very politely.It's just that Tan Lun doesn't know why Long Qing recruited him here.Now he saw that all four cabinets were actually present.I couldn't help being slightly surprised in my heart.Not sure what happened.

When everyone returned the gift.I can't help but start to guess in my heart.This Tan Lun is now acting as Minister of the Ministry of War.Could it be that Long Qing asked them to come because of some military incident recently?But everyone immediately rejected it.Nothing happened recently either.They thought that Long Qing must have invited someone else.Or it might be that all six ministers arrive.

I was thinking so.The eunuch from the palace came.Seeing a few people, he hurriedly said: "Hey, some adults are here. Hurry up and go in with our house. Your Majesty is still waiting."

Everyone heard about it.Can't help being a little surprised.Gao Gong was even more impatient.He directly stepped forward and asked, "Eunuch. Your Majesty called the minister and other five people to come. If there are no other people, it will be impossible."

Too much listening, but answered truthfully: "Master Gao. His Majesty indeed sent five adults here. There will be no one else."

Everyone listened.Even more puzzled on the face.But I felt a little better in my heart.At least for now.This must have something to do with the military.Not a good thing though.But that's what it says.No matter what.It should have nothing to do with myself.It's just that the only one who is a little worried is Tan Lun.After all, he still has the Minister of the Ministry of War.Tan Lun couldn't help but began to blame Zhao Bingran.Xin said: "It's all right to go home to recuperate. Now I'm coming back. But something happened. Zhao Bingran, Zhao Bingran. Can't you come back sooner?"

Gao Gong felt relieved.But he was still a little curious.He continued to ask: "Eunuch, do you know why His Majesty called me here?"

Although this eunuch is not familiar with Gao Gong.But he also knew that he had a good relationship with Dash.I don't want to offend.He replied: "Our family doesn't know what happened. But I heard that His Majesty said so after reading an excerpt."

"Zhezi." Gao Gong was a little puzzled. "Is it yesterday's book?"

The eunuch shook his head.Said: "Your Majesty's excerpt from yesterday was approved and sent back yesterday. This excerpt was submitted early this morning."

Hear here.Gao Gong didn't bother anymore.The eunuch Deng Chong, the palm print of the chief of ceremonies, has a close relationship with him.Gao Gong was quite clear about the operation of the Supervisor of Rituals.It is absolutely impossible to give Long Qing a copy in such a morning.Then only Dongchang and Jinyiwei are left.But they will not hesitate.Immediately thought of Jin Yiwei.All of a sudden, his eyes focused on Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Juzheng looked at it.Did not speak.I thought to myself: "My good student. You will cause a lot of trouble. I don't know what happened this time."
