Rule over Ming Dynasty

Chapter 40

How could he not want to?
Han Chuang has studied hard for more than ten years, and has been an official for more than ten years. Isn't it just to get the respect of His Majesty?
It's just that he didn't expect that Zhang Sheng not only didn't take the opportunity to exclude himself, but instead introduced himself to His Majesty, which really made people have to doubt this person's motives.

Seeing that Xie Qian agreed, as if he had solved a problem, Zhang Sheng turned to Liu Jin and said, "Eunuch Liu, please take the two of us to face the saint!"

"My lords, this way please!" Knowing that His Majesty valued Zhang Sheng very much, Liu Jin immediately pointed to the west corner gate and made a gesture of invitation.

This scene was exposed to the eyes of many officials, but the favor has always belonged to a few people, what else can they do except envy?I can only envy and envy.

Honored pets are awarded in turn, when will you come to my house!
The Qianqing Palace was already busy at this time, and it was cleaned up inside and out.

Zhu Youtang came back slowly in a dragon chariot, thinking of the disappointed expressions on the faces of those officials before leaving, he couldn't help but feel a burst of relief.

These officials really thought that as the emperor, they had to be at their mercy, and that they would obey them as a title of virtuous monarch, but they didn't know when they would wake up.

If the emperor is a very rational and sober person, and his subordinates are a bunch of daydreaming stupid pigs, then it is also a headache.

"Your Majesty, the breakfast is ready. Are you going to deliver the meal at Dongnuange?" The tall woman in a blue dress came up suddenly and greeted Zhu Youtang politely.

The sudden appearance of this woman was like adding a hostess to the Qianqing Palace, which made the entire Qianqing Palace different.

"Why does this woman look so familiar?" Zhu Youtang looked up and down at this peerless beauty who suddenly appeared, but he couldn't help but secretly asked in confusion.

The thing is so weird, a person I have clearly met, but I can't remember the name of the other person, and I don't even know where I met him, the memory of this person is actually blank.

Niu Mengmeng hurried out from the inside, and asked loudly: "Sister Erya, is Your Majesty going to..." When she said this, she suddenly saw Zhu Youtang on the dragon chariot, and greeted him in a hurry Said: "Servants welcome Your Majesty!"

"Erya?" Zhu Youtang suddenly woke up like a dream when he heard Niu Mengmeng's yelling.

The Erya he saw earlier was half naked, and what impressed him the most was her snow-white figure, but now Erya, who was suddenly dressed so neatly, seemed very strange.

Ordinarily, wearing less clothes is more attractive, but this woman seems to be the opposite.

Originally, she already had a pretty face, but now she was wearing a simple and decent blue dress, but it showed a queen-like temperament, which seemed to be enough to top the harem.

Today is the first day that Erya officially took office as the maid in charge of the Qianqing Palace. Facing the sudden silence of Zhu Youtang, she couldn't help feeling uneasy, but her strong psychological quality made her very calmly throw out the second plan: "Your Majesty, if you lose your appetite, The servant girl suggested to ask the imperial physician for a consultation, the body of the dragon is not to be missed!"

"I'm all right! Pass on to the Dongnuang Pavilion and ask someone to come to the cabinet and bring Wang Yue's files to me!" Zhu Youtang quickly recovered and gave instructions at the same time.

"Slave complies with the order!" Erya gave a salute and immediately made arrangements.

Erya is no longer a bed-warming maid in scantily clad clothes, but now she has become the maid in charge of the Qianqing Palace. Her status and status can be said to have risen with the tide, and now she can naturally command the maids in the Qianqing Palace.

Some people are indeed born leaders. Erya has the temperament of a mistress in terms of figure and temperament, and she is very handy in arranging things.

Under her management, not only was the Dongnuang Pavilion cleaned up, but the efficiency of doing things was significantly improved. At least the speed and arrangement of serving food were obviously more reasonable.

Seeing the fresh meat finally appearing on the table, Zhu Youtang stretched his chopsticks to the mutton plate even though it is not suitable to eat too oily food in the morning, and began to eat large pieces.

It's just that while eating, with his good insight, Dang even noticed something strange.A court lady who was originally in charge of maintaining the sandalwood during the day for the East Nuan Pavilion resolutely changed.

"Master, the maid in charge of sandalwood has had close contacts with the outside world, and this slave has already taken the initiative to keep her under temporary custody. I wonder if His Majesty wants to interrogate her or just investigate directly?" Er Ya noticed Zhu Youtang's eyes , Dang even stood up and explained.

Zhu Youtang picked up a piece of cumin mutton and put it in his mouth, knowing that it was difficult to avoid eyeliner around him, Dang even made a decision and said: "Since the loyalty is not enough, there is no need to embarrass her, just transfer her out of the Qianqing Palace! "

"I'll do it now, slave girl!" Erya got Zhu Youtang's consent, turned and left immediately.

Seeing Er Ya's resolute appearance, Zhu Youtang found that he seemed to have found a good helper, but cleaning the eyeliner was something that even Liang Fang didn't realize.

Niu Mengmeng came over with the last soup, but couldn't help but said to Zhu Youtang: "Your Majesty, I have asked Elder Sister Erya, she doesn't blame me!"

"What? Uh...that's a big man!" Zhu Youtang was confused by this nonsense, but quickly realized it.

Niu Mengmeng immediately shook his head, and then seriously argued: "That's not true! Elder sister Erya said that Your Majesty should be in the Sangong Sixth Court, and he can accept whoever he wants! The Crown Princess wants to harm her, because the Crown Princess is not broad-minded enough. , so she doesn't blame me!"

"Okay, you did nothing wrong with what happened yesterday! Just be careful what you say. If you spread the word today to Chengxi Palace, be careful not to wear small shoes for you!" Zhu Youtang admired Niu Mengmeng's straightforward temperament, but he was still serious. warned.

Niu Mengmeng stuck out his tongue cutely, looked at the maids and eunuchs on the left and right, but warned: "You are not allowed to spread this word!"

Qin Ji saw that there were more than ten people here, and suddenly felt a little difficult.

"Your servant knows, I promise you won't say such nonsense again!" Seeing that the matter was settled, Niu Mengmeng seriously assured Zhu Youtang.

"Your little flower is a dog, right?" Zhu Youtang asked curiously after taking a sip of porridge.

"No, Xiao Hua is a cat!" Niu Mengmeng's eyes widened, and he immediately corrected like a rattle.

"Cat? How about this, you bring that cat to me to feed it, so that you won't have to run out every day in the future!" Zhu Youtang realized that he had guessed wrong, and Dang even planned to take in the rogue cat in good faith.

Niu Mengmeng's eyes lit up slightly immediately, and he asked earnestly, "Your Majesty, is it really possible?"

"You are not joking!" Zhu Youtang expressed his position.

"Okay, I'll go and bring Xiao Hua back!" Niu Mengmeng said as he left in a hurry with a hot temper.

Just halfway through breakfast, Liu Jin came in from the outside and returned.

"I bow to Your Majesty, long live my emperor!" Zhang Sheng and Xie Qian came here together, and immediately bowed respectfully.

Zhu Youtang didn't expect that Zhang Sheng would bring Xie Qiandu here, and he raised his hand calmly and said, "Pingshen!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Sheng and Xie Qian said in thanks.

Zhu Youtang gave Tan Ji a wink, and then ordered: "Give food!"

Xie Qian originally wanted to decline, but when he saw the rich table, especially the fresh meat on it, he couldn't help swallowing.

Zhang Sheng was not polite. After taking the bowls and chopsticks from Qin Ji, he stood beside him and started to eat voraciously.

When Xie Qian saw Zhang Sheng eating, he decided that it was not the first time Zhang Sheng had eaten, but when he saw the food delivered, he was filled with fear and sincerity.

After dinner, they were given tea again.

After Zhu Youtang took a sip of tea, he cut to the chase and said: "Master Zhang, Master Xie, Minister of Criminal Justice Du Ming has stated his attitude that Wang Yue is guilty, and I want to acquit Wang Yue from the facts of the case, but I don't know what the two have to do What about opinion?"

Although there was a bad breath in the early morning today, there were waves, and the Ministry of punishment became a hindrance to his appointment of Wang Yue.
