The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 95 Xiao Jiuqing (Part [-])

Inside the West Nuan Pavilion of Kunning Palace.

Empress Zhang gave seats to a group of wives.Li Guang stood beside him.

Liu Xiaoyan sat on the lower head of Queen Zhang.The wives cast envious glances at Liu Xiaoyan.

She's not even the wife of the emperor, she's just pleasant.Every time she enters the palace, she always sits next to Queen Zhang.This is the supreme grace.

Queen Zhang chatted and laughed with all the wives.Liu Xiaoyan frowned tightly and said nothing.

Near noon, the wives dispersed separately.

Queen Zhang asked, "Sister, are you worried?"

Before Empress Zhang entered the palace, she exchanged birthday invitations with Liu Xiaoyan and paid homage to her righteous sisters.Where there are no outsiders, Queen Zhang always calls her "Sister".And don't call yourself "this palace".

Liu Xiaoyan said softly: "No, nothing to worry about."

Empress Zhang was a little anxious, and held Liu Xiaoyan's hand: "Sister, is there anything that sisters can't say?"

Liu Xiaoyan "thumped" and knelt down to Empress Zhang: "My empress, it's not that my concubine deliberately concealed it from you. The troubles encountered by my concubine are related to the government, so I dare not talk nonsense in the harem."

Empress Zhang quickly helped Liu Xiaoyan up: "Sister, please get up. We are sisters who exchange posts. You can tell me about political and family affairs."

Liu Xiaoyan had no choice but to say: "My father is serving as the chief envoy in Beizhili."

Empress Zhang said: "I know this. Back then I participated in the Eastern Palace audition. It was only after my father and brother-in-law changed my name that I was selected."

Liu Xiaoyan said: "My father seems to be on the list of orders to retire from office."

Empress Zhang wanted to help Liu Xiaoyan, but she didn't talk enough.She turned to look at Li Guang: "Please pay attention to this matter."

The cabinet has undergone personnel changes, as have the supervisors of rituals.

The position of the palm print belongs to Wynn, and it cannot be shaken.

Xiao Jing, Li Guang, and Qian Neng joined the Supervisor of Ceremonies and served as the writers.

Xiao Jing used to be the manager of Donggong.The Lord of the Eastern Palace ascended the throne and became the emperor, so it was only natural for him to enter the Supervisor of Rituals.

Qian Neng used to be a guardian eunuch in Nanjing.This masochist is Wang Shu's loyal little fan.In the month that Emperor Hongzhi ascended the throne, Qian Neng began to write letters repeatedly, recommending Wang Shu.

Emperor Hongzhi felt that although Qian Neng was an eunuch, he had the vision of recommending others.Wang Shu is planning to lay off officials in the Ministry of Officials, and Qian Neng can cooperate with him if he enters the Supervisor of Ceremonies.

Therefore, Emperor Hongzhi asked Qian Neng to do Bingbi.Qian Neng's godson, Qian Ning, is now serving as a small banner under Chang Feng's command.

As for Li Guang.He approved one.The emperor's sole favor on Empress Zhang is comparable to the previous emperor's sole favor on Concubine Wan Gui.

Since Wang Zhi and Shang Ming relied on serving Concubine Wan Gui well back then, their power was in the hands of the government and the public.

Then I will serve Empress Zhang well, and I will definitely be able to hold great power in the future.

According to the rules, even if Bingbi, the supervisor of rites, does not need to serve the master every day even if he is also the steward of a palace.

However, whenever Li Guang was free, he would come to Kunning Palace to serve Empress Zhang personally.

Queen Zhang sent a message, telling Li Guang to "pay attention".Li Guang immediately took this matter to heart.

Coincidentally.The next day, Li Guang was on duty at the Qianqing Palace.

Emperor Hongzhi was looking at the latest list of orders from the Ministry of Officials.Li Guang studied ink for him.

Emperor Hongzhi picked up the ink pen and circled it.

If a circle is drawn on the name, it is ordered to retire.Those with a red dot under their name will be demoted and appointed.

Emperor Hongzhi's pen tip was about to fall on "Liu Bingyi, the former chief envoy of Northern Zhili".

Li Guang reminded: "Your Majesty, this person is the father of Liu Xiaoyan, the righteous sister of the Queen Mother."

No one is perfect.Emperor Hongzhi was good in every way, but he had only one shortcoming, which was that he favored Empress Zhang too much.

Emperor Hongzhi said to himself: "Oh. The Chang family and his wife are Ling'er's life-saving benefactors. Since there is such a relationship, it is not easy for Liu Bingyi to retire like this."

Emperor Hongzhi wrote a line of small characters next to Liu Bingyi's name: This member was transferred to Taichang Temple Minister.

Although the minister of Taichang Temple has a high position, he has no real power.This official position belongs to the "Xiao Jiuqing" of the imperial court and has a noble status.

But to put it bluntly, he is an official in charge of military bands and sacrificial ceremonies.

The transfer of the local political envoy to the post of Minister of Taichang Temple seems to be a promotion on the surface.In fact, it is tantamount to losing real power.

Although Emperor Hongzhi did not let Liu Bingyi become an official because of the relationship with Empress Zhang, he did not intend to reuse him.

Let him hang the title of the third grade, and go to Taichang Temple to retire!

Emperor Hongzhi had given Empress Zhang and the Chang family a lot of face.

Review the list.Emperor Hongzhi handed over the list to Li Guang.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled slightly: "The official document ordering his official appointment will be distributed in the name of Liu Ji, the chief assistant of the cabinet."

Emperor Hongzhi was too coquettish.

He left Liu Ji in the cabinet to be scolded for him.He will use Liu Ji's name to do everything that will attract people's hatred.

The evening after two days.Chang Feng went back to the mansion.

Liu Bingyi happily walked over with Tangtang in his arms.

Chang Feng asked: "Lao Taishan is here. My son-in-law will have a good drink with you tonight."

Liu Bingyi said: "I called the cooks from Fengrun Garden. Let them make a banquet for you!"

Chang Feng said: "The old Taishan is too expensive. If there is no festival, what kind of banquet will you eat?"

Liu Bingyi's eyes became crescents with a smile: "My son-in-law, you saved my official position for me. What's a big banquet?"

Chang Feng was a little surprised: "You kept your official status?"

Liu Bingyi said: "Yes! The Ministry of Officials has just issued a transfer document. Promote me to Taichang Temple to be the Minister of the Temple!"

"Although Taichang Siqing is an empty-headed official, he is one of the young nine Qings! Although I lost my real power, I kept my official status."

"My son-in-law, you must have asked the old inner minister, right? I know that the old inner minister is a close friend of Wang Butang from the Ministry of Officials."

Chang Feng froze in place.But if you don't follow the water, you won't do it for nothing.After a while, he replied ambiguously: "Oh, the old Taishan official voice is better. Otherwise, I can't help if I want to."

At night, the family happily entered the banquet.

Liu Bingyi smiled and said: "I have a cousin who is nine years old this year. He is about the same age as Tangtang. I think it's better to make a baby marriage for them? Our Liu and Chang families will kiss each other more in the future, breaking the bones and connecting the tendons." !"

Hearing this, Chang Feng almost choked on the wine.

Good guy.When I was down, you always broke the engagement.Now that I'm rich, you're always in a hurry to send off the engagement?
Chang Feng quickly shied away: "Tangtang is still young. Let's talk about the engagement after the age of 13."

After eating, I sent my father-in-law off.Chang Feng and Liu Xiaoyan went back to the bedroom.

Chang Feng questioned Liu Xiaoyan: "Did you find Queen Zhang for your father's affairs?"

Liu Xiaoyan denied it flatly: "I didn't."

Chang Feng warned her: "It's a big taboo to instigate the harem to interfere in government affairs. Whether you have it or not, don't do such things in the future."

Liu Xiaoyan said: "Oh, I remember."

Chang Feng said again: "However, it's good if your father is promoted to Taichang Temple Minister. Taichang Temple is comparable to Nanjing's pension office. He doesn't need to intervene in political affairs in the future, just be his idle official with peace of mind. Happy like a god on earth. .”

Chang Feng was right. For Liu Bingyi, this was a good result.
