Jingming

Chapter 178 Brother, You Are Being Played

The news that the palace officially came to inform the follow-up etiquette has actually just reached the Sun residence.

Sun Wang was completely relieved, while Sun Jiao sighed.

"What are you doing on this day of great joy?" After Sun Wang sealed the generous Xie Yi and sent the eunuch away, he looked at Sun and said angrily, "I haven't slept well these few days!"

Sun Jiao just glanced at the woman indifferently: You know what a fart.

What is the significance of the queen?In His Majesty's planning, the daughter's decision to be the queen is already a decision that will not be changed for other reasons.

Otherwise, why should Sun Jiao be humiliated?

Only Sun Wang couldn't listen to what he said, thinking that there was already a dragon species in the palace, and it was a big crisis!
I don't know if it's a man or a woman!
Although he didn't say it in the court, Sun Jiao was worried: "I can tell you clearly, don't indulge your subordinates just because of Ming'er's status! Your Majesty wants to implement a new law. Do you know how dangerous it is? Now I am I must stand on the cusp of the storm on behalf of Your Majesty! After the queen's election is announced to the world, I don't know how many major issues I have to be careful about, and don't let other ministers use the Sun family's illegal affairs to impeach me!"

"Understood!" Sun Wang perfunctory impatiently, and then said to himself, "I don't know if I can visit the queen mother soon. That Lin is pregnant, and Ming'er has to hurry up. In case Lin A prince was born..."

The grandson was very annoyed: "You are not allowed to go! How does His Majesty arrange his own discretion in the palace? Ming'er has to go back to the mansion first after the name is settled! As long as the new law is not completed, as long as I am still in the court, Ming'er will not let you go!" There will be any problems! Don't trouble me!"

Sun Wang, who cares about it, can only look at her husband aggrieved and angry.

At this moment, His Majesty has no sense of propriety, Sun Ming cried anxiously: "Why does Your Majesty despise ministers and concubines so much?"

Lala gave her a hug, even though her status had already been confirmed, it was already beyond the courtesy.

It's just that before the two are about to separate, His Majesty reassures her.One is that after the reunion, His Majesty forgives her again.

But these words made it difficult for Sun Ming to accept.

Zhu Houcong asked strangely: "Although today is the ceremony for the election, I will send you home later to wait for the wedding ceremony. Can I go to sleep by myself?"

Sun Ming's tears froze, and then she pursed her mouth in anger.

How can you make such a joke? !
"I've missed you for a long time..." Zhu Houcong said regretfully, "I have to wait another 100 years."

Sun Ming couldn't bear the instigation of words. After saying something about "sleeping in the Kunning Palace", it would take more than 100 years to talk about it. That means...

Zhu Houcong looked at her with interest.

Although the emperor has always had many concubines, she is used to this reality, which does not mean that she has not been wronged after being a beautiful girl for several months.

Letting another woman conceive his child before getting married, there are some things that need to be said.

How about bluntly saying that you are greedy for her?Which woman wouldn't secretly rejoice in her heart that her husband was so greedy for her body?
What's more, the harem is as beautiful as clouds, and the so-called king's favor is mostly based on appearance.

The empress, whose emotional experience was equal to zero, was so easily aroused by the direct ball attack, and after crying and embarrassing, her mood relaxed a lot.

"The methods I taught you, you must not be able to practice these days. After you return to the palace, you must persist after entering the palace." Zhu Houcong said suddenly.

Sun Ming blushed. Could it be that those methods are the secret techniques that the Queen Mother mentioned?

But it's not like either.

"The concubine is a woman... how can she always do those poses?"

"Women also need to keep fit." Zhu Houcong felt that it was strange after she said this about radio gymnastics. "If it doesn't work, we should take more walks."

"...The concubine remembers."

"This is very important." Zhu Houcong emphasized, "You are the queen, and I will not touch other concubines before you are pregnant. But you are not very old, so it is very dangerous to have such an early pregnancy. It's just that it is very important to have a son-in-law early, so I have to work hard for you..."

Not touching other concubines before she was pregnant was a promise that Sun Ming never thought about.

Now that Concubine Xian is pregnant, could it be that he has endured it for a long time before he became anxious?Before the wedding...he really doesn't know how to touch others?Could it be that she was the only one who caught her after the wedding...

She couldn't help but stare at the emperor, and finally smiled through her tears in her panic and shyness, and nodded with her lips pursed.

At this moment, both Wen Suyun and the nine concubines already knew that His Majesty and the Empress had a childhood sweetheart story.

...incomparable.

……

The next day's national policy meeting also had a "non-staff" personnel.

Fei Hong came to say goodbye to His Majesty, and His Majesty also showed a certain level of importance by calling him into the palace first.

As for when the national policy meeting started and ended after the consultants entered the palace, how would other people know?

So Fei Hong sat here again.

And this time, in front of other consultants, the emperor asked Huang Jin to bring out the set of things that Wang Shouren had given to him at that time.

It's not new anymore, Jiang Mian also got it before he went to Jiangnan.

"Fei Qing went to Sichuan, acting is fine, but don't let Mr. Yang Ge worry about it because of personal grievances."

Zhu Houcong made a joke, Yang Tinghe looked embarrassed, Fei Hong quickly replied: "How can I act like this..."

Yang Tinghe was unhappy and looked at him.

What happened to your family's ancestral grave is a chain reaction later on, and it has no direct relationship with me. Who is to blame?

But the emperor joked like this...is it really beating Yang Tinghe?
Zhengde was still there at that time, why did you agree with King Ning to restore the guards?
"It can be seen that the foundation of the country is indeed a major issue." Zhu Houcong introduced the topic and looked at Yang Tinghe, "Now that the general outline of the new law has been finalized, the behavior of the officials and gentry in the world is second, and the princes of the provinces should pay attention. Take the opportunity to change it again."

Wang Qiong said: "I have considered this matter. As a special case, the kings dare not refuse. Your Majesty, the middle-aged and senior officials of the royal family can be promoted to official positions, but if the rest of the people are entrusted with other important tasks, the minister has not yet thought about it." How to arrange..."

What he really wanted to ask was whether he was going to use this thing for fishing.

Zhu Houcong said: "People make the best use of it, there is no need to be scruples, the root is always in the vassal king."

There are no more than three ways to prepare for the worst possible future: the gentry supports a coup d'état of a feudal lord, the gentry colludes with foreign enemies, or makes a big fuss.

Of the latter two, one is related to the long-term focus of border troubles, and the other is more protracted.

Only the coup of the vassal king requires the vassal king to save a lot of power in the palace, the court and the local area.

The Internal Audit Factory and the Jinyiwei each have an important mission to keep an eye on the feudal princes, and they will always get some information from their source.

There is no need to be distracted.

Zhu Houcong tried his best to arrange this to reduce the resistance.

The less hope of fighting against the general trend of the new law, then the groups of officials and gentry who seem to have lost their interests will always be slowly divided in the next few years.

Everything depends on the skills of the emperor and the staff.

So Fei Hong left the palace first, and then he was going to officially go to Sichuan to take up his post.

And in this way, another cabinet minister vacated.

"Jiang Qing has a heavy responsibility, and Nanzhili, Zhejiang disaster relief and autumn food affairs must be supervised until the end of the year. Everything in the court is busy, and we need to fill in the cabinet as soon as possible." Zhu Houcong looked at them, "Have you already considered it? Be frank and straight."

After thinking for a while, Yang Tinghe said: "I think that the new law involves a lot of financial accounts. Although Mr. Sun Ge has served as the Minister of the Household Department, he may not be involved in it in his future capacity. For those who are familiar with him, I recommend Yang Tan to join the cabinet."

Now that he is the "party leader", everyone must take his opinion seriously.

After all, Yang Tinghe is the party leader with his family head pinned to his waistband.

He actually recommended Yang Tan who was attacked by the "Yang Party" at the beginning. Did the "New Party" and the Imperial Party really merge?
Zhu Houcong smiled and asked, "If Da Si Nong enters the cabinet, who will replace the Minister of the Household Department?"

Wang Qiong said again: "Wu Tingju, the left servant of the Ministry of War, was once the political envoy of Guangdong. Please open the "Fanbo Tributary Transaction Law", which is well known in Guangdong. Although Wu Tingju was involved in the Guangdong incident last year, he was still involved. His Majesty has cherished his talents since Chen asked for punishment. You can order Dai to make meritorious service and be promoted to the Minister of the Household Department."

The corner of Zhu Houcong's mouth kept smiling.

understood.

In the next few years, the Hubu Shangshu will naturally be like sitting on a brazier. Is it better to do it than to do it?
But the most important root of these arrangements today still falls on Yang Tingyi.

Wang Qiong and the others had Yang Tan in the cabinet, and Wu Tingju, who had a close relationship with Chen Jin, did the offending. What Yang Tinghe got was what he really wanted: let Yang Tingyi, the right servant of the Ministry of War, replace the left servant.

Being the leader of the new law party is very scary. Although it is unlikely that one of the brothers will be the chief assistant and the other will be the Minister of the Ministry of War, but the left servant of the Ministry of War is much better.

I am afraid that Wang Xian will not be too difficult for Yang Tingyi in many things.

"Then let's arrange it like this. Guangdong has been hit by a disaster this year, and the stability of order during the year is the main priority. The new law is not one or two improvements in the past. How to implement it step by step in Guangdong is very important. Wu Tingju is still unaware of the many situations in the national policy meeting today Zong Yuan, you can make up lessons for him."

"I take orders." Yang Tan answered with a smile as he wished.

This is indeed rather interesting. The national policy conference and the court seem to have become two worlds. Every newcomer will be dizzy for a month or two.

This point has been fully proved by Li Chongsi and Yao Mao.

Li Chongsi was fine, although on the day of the meeting it was Yang Shen who made a sudden leap in Guangdong, Yang Tinghexi became the party leader, and His Majesty threw out the "Draft of the Daming Fiscal and Taxation System", after all, he also participated in the seminar on the theory of aging from the very beginning.

Yao Mao was completely stunned after he took office. As soon as he participated in the meeting, he listened to them perfecting the script, learning new methods, and exchanging theories of heaven, physics and man...

It can only be said that supplementary lessons for new participants are very important.

So that night Yang Tan invited Wu Tingju to the mansion, the dinner was just chatting, and then he was invited into the study.

Yang Tan also earnestly told his confidant butler to keep other people away from approaching at the door, and then he looked at Wu Tingju who became nervous.

"Da Sinong, what is the secret?"

The direction of the new law is set, Yang Tinghe "powers the government and the public", and the Minister of the Household Department invites him to come to the house, but he is secretly discussing major issues in the study?
Wu Tingju felt a little scared.

Yang Tan got a little nasty, and said seriously: "My minister, this matter is very important. Since you have served in Guangdong, and you have written the "Fanbo Tribute Transaction Law", I invite you to discuss it!"

Wu Tingju asked nervously: "Is it related to the new law in Guangdong? But there is an emergency in Guangdong, and the Ministry of War is needed..."

The more he thought about it, the more outrageous it became. Duke Ding has gone. Could it be that Huguang soldiers really need to go south?

Then the Ministry of War has to arrange the transfer of food and wages!
"It is indeed related to Guangdong's new law." Yang Tan said solemnly, "This is only secondary, and what I want to discuss with you involves even more high-ranking officials!"

Wu Tingju broke out in cold sweat: "Is it so serious? Are there such bold people in Guangdong?"

The news that the imperial court decided to implement the new law and the old party's retreat would not have spread to Guangdong, right?That has to be urgent!
But it's not sure... such a big event, someone even passed the letter?

It's not right, the reaction shouldn't be so fast... Could it be that something big happened because of Guangdong Daxing's lawsuit a few days ago?

Yang Tan is in a good mood today, so his expression is stern: "The minister knows the seriousness of the matter. I have invited you here by His Majesty's order. If you want to listen, then there is no way out from now on. If you don't listen, it's okay. Be wise and protect yourself. Dedicated minister, what should I say?"

Wu Tingju was extremely entangled.

The situation is very complicated!Apart from counselors, no one can guess His Majesty's attitude towards the new party, the imperial party, and the old party.

It stands to reason that Yang Tinghe has gained a lot of trust now, but His Majesty has appointed Fei Hong to governor Yang Tinghe and his hometown of Sichuan, and now Yang Tan of the imperial party is pulling him into the secret room to discuss important matters, and he is so scary!
But since it is His Majesty's personal order... Wouldn't it be disrespectful if you don't listen?The officer has done it!

Wu Tingju gritted his teeth and replied: "Sinong, but please be frank, the officials will share your majesty's worries!"

Yang Tan still looked at him, as if he wanted to distinguish the truth from the false in his words.

After a while, he grinned: "Congratulations to Xianchen for being promoted to Minister of the Household Department and participating in the national policy meeting. I am here to give you extra lessons at the order of His Majesty."

Wu Tingju was dumbfounded: "Then you..."

"I will serve as a cabinet minister."

"……Congratulations."

"Happy together."

Wu Tingju looked at Yang Tan with a complicated mood.

Although it's not the big situation I imagined, being the secretary of the household department is also a hot ass job.

"...I don't know what it means to make up lessons?"

"I didn't intend to scare you." Yang Tan sighed, "Your Majesty has a heart like a mirror, knowing that the counselors recommend you because you are trustworthy. You were able to perform the "Fanbo Tribute Transaction Law" back then, and you too Dare to be the first. It's just that the court will not be vacillating in the future, and you have to be aware of it. Now the situation in the national policy meeting, you listen to me one by one..."

So Wu Tingju was like listening to a story, hearing how Yang Tinghe had to be the leader of the new law, how Fei Hong wrote the screenplay, how His Majesty came up with the "Draft of the Great Ming Finance and Taxation System" half a year ago, and what His Majesty quoted And unpublished knowledge...

Yang Tan knew that what he wanted to make up for Wu Tingju most was not the planning at the national policy meeting, but to strengthen his impression of the emperor.

In a word: What kind of national policy meeting is it that the monarch and his ministers are united in one mind, all because His Majesty drove everyone into the boat of the new law.

No matter the new party, the imperial party, or the old party, for the counselors, this game of chess cannot be won, and all of them are the first to be liquidated by the emperor.

As for the counselors working together to resist, could Sun Jiao and Cui Yuan jump off the boat?Could it be that the Jinyiwei and the Internal Inspection Factory, which are independent of the national policy meeting, are doing nothing?
There are also Zhang Yong who is still in position, the new three major battalions who are being selected and trained, and Huang Mingji who helps all the relatives make money.

Wu Tingju was dumbfounded.

Remembering that there is also a small group of Cantonese coquettish me under my buttocks, how worried I have been in the past few months!

"Party struggle" is fierce, and people are impeached every day, and many timid and dirty court officials have reproduced the old events of the Hongwu Dynasty.

As a result, I was told today: Brother, we are all acting, we are in the same group.

Wu Tingju really wanted to ask: there are more than a dozen of you!How do you keep your mouth shut?
Then he figured it out.

Although the counselor is good, the key point is to be followed.

He shuddered: "It turned out to be like this..."

The one who regrets the most is Yang Tinghe, right?In the lobby of the Ministry of Justice, important ministers were implicated, and His Majesty asked on the spot, "Which piece of advice should I listen to?".Without getting back in time, Wang Shouren was distracted when he came, and then he walked step by step to where he is today, becoming the target of public criticism.

And Wang Qiong, a group of people with dirty buttocks, still stares at Yang Tinghe all the time, urging him to "progress".

Because they are not an imperial party, I am afraid they have the opportunity to become an "underground" party.

At present, the success or failure of the new law is almost related to the safety and security of high officials. How can there be any new party or old party in the national policy conference?All imperial.

Is this all in His Majesty's calculations?

Yang Tan looked at him with a smile: "Tomorrow, I will make a court push and go through the procedures. You should go back and think about how to write the thank you form, and I will definitely call you to the Imperial Study Room the day after tomorrow. Don't worry about the household affairs , I will make a good handover with you. Among the cabinet ministers, Mr. Sun Ge and I have served in the household department, and we will understand your difficulties in many things."

Wu Tingju's eyes were complicated: If I don't do well, it's easy for you to find faults, right?
