Chapter 70

The poem said: The emperor said that the talents are simple, and the talents are in the thighs.The style of the article changes, and the etiquette, music and Taoism surpass the grandeur.

Yunge Yinghua, Binmen [Wanniao] Ludeng.The banquet of kindness is beyond expectations, and the holy lake is really super-permanent.

It is said that Ximenqing has never had any problems with Sister Li Gui ever since.But he said that he sent a messenger to Lin Qianhu in Huaiqing Mansion to inquire about the news. Lin Qianhu sealed the promotion mansion and gave it to the visitor, and rewarded him with five qian coins.At the same time, Xia Tixing was dismantled, and Ximen Qing first observed the guards' trip to inspect the officials' notes. The brief said: "The Ministry of War has a copy, respects the clear decree, strictly examines, persuades and punishes with light, and governs affairs with light and sanctity: first, the Jinwu Guard. Taiwei Taibao and Prince Taibao Zhu of the admiral's school asked about the previous affairs, and inspected the officials of the imperial guards. Except for the officials in the hall, the rest of the hatchbacks were ordered to arrest, the internal and external prisons commanded thousands of households, and the eunuchs and other officials were in order. , from the public to impeach, to identify the virtuous and not, to ask for a question, the Ministry will discuss in detail at the moment, and the reasons for demotion, promotion and demote.

According to the imperial decree: the Ministry of War knows and obeys.Copy it out to the Ministry.Seeing Taiwei Zhu's previous affairs, following the old rules, the commissioned officials devoted all their efforts to loyalty, and made public assessments.It is enough to inspire people's hearts and support public discussion, and there is no need for Rong Chen to wait for another beak.But Enwei rewards and punishments come from the imperial court, and they will be implemented as usual on the day of waiting for the order.Continue to serve Qin Yi to plan.

Xia Yanling, a thousand households in Neikai Shandong Mentoring Institute, has grown up after a long time. In the past, he looked down on Dian Mu and the corners were quiet, but now he is in charge of punishment and has a political voice. He should be rewarded so that he can be promoted and prepare a book. The chooser also.Ximenqing, the vice deputy of Qianhu, has a promising talent and meticulous observation.The family is well-off and not greedy in office, and the state affairs are diligent and Taiwan workers have achievements.The gods of the next day will not ask for any points, and the judicial decrees will be admired by all the people.It is advisable to add to the regular, who is also known as the master of punishment.Lin Chengxun, who was appointed to the Thousand Households of Huaiqing, was an excellent student in his youth, and he was a native of martial arts. He had great ambitions to succeed his ancestors.Deputy Qianhu Xie En, who is old and has a considerable amount of work in the past, is now in charge of punishment, especially if he is soft, and it is appropriate to dismiss the person in charge.

Ximen Qing was very happy when he saw that he was turned into a thousand households and sentenced to death.Xia Tixing saw that he was promoted to command and was in charge of the halogen book, and he was speechless for most of the day, his face paled.So I started to watch the finished book of the Ministry of Industry, which read: A copy of the Ministry of Industry, God's fortune came to Beijing, the heaven and man Xu Qing, begging for God's grace, bowing down to add blessings, for the hardship of the people of Su, and for the sake of Guang Shengze .

According to the imperial decree: This divine fortune welcomes Da Nei, lays a foundation on An Genyue, and inherits the family of heaven. My heart is full of joy.Every time you are effective and hardworking, you will do everything you want to do.In the places where they passed, the small people in the committee were in poverty, and they asked to press the yamen.The destroyed dams and gates were repaired immediately by sending officials from the Ministry to patrol and press the censor.At the end of the day, the servant Meng Changling was sent to offer sacrifices.Cai Jing, Li Bangyan, Wang Wei, Zheng Juzhong, Gao Qiu, the Prime Minister bowed, praised the inner court directly, wrote Xun Laomao, Jingjia Grand Master, Bangyan Jiazhu Kingdom Prince Taishi, Wang Wei Taifu, Zheng Juzhong, Gao Qiu Taibao, each Reward silver 50 taels, four table gifts.Cai Jing returned Yin's son as the prisoner in the palace.The national teacher Lin Lingsu, Zuoguo Xuanhua, far away to the gods, the Northern Expedition to the captives, the truth and the sky, he was named Zhongxiaobo, the food salary was a thousand stones, and he was given a dragon suit. The leader, Jia Yuancheng Xuanmiao Daoist Guangde, Jinmen Yuke, Mr. Daling Xuanmiao.Zhu Xi and Huang Jingchen supervised the gods, and their loyalty and diligence are commendable.He was added as Taifu and Prince Taifu, and Jingchen was added as Taiwei in front of the palace, and he was the admiral and superintendent of the imperial ship.One son of each shade is Jinwuwei Zhengqianhu.Li Yan, Meng Changling, Jia Xiang, He Yi, and Lan Congyi, the five palace servants of Zhiyanfu, were given python clothes and jade belts, and one of them was the Deputy Qianhu.Zhang Bangchang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, Cai You, a left servant and a bachelor, Bai Shizhong, a right servant, Yu Shen, a minister of the Ministry of War, and Lin Yu, a minister of the Ministry of Industry, all joined the crown prince Taibao, each rewarded with 40 taels of silver and two gifts of colored satin.Governor Zhang Ge, the imperial censor of the two capitals of Zhejiang and Zhejiang, and the right servant of the promotion department.The governor of Shandong, Yushi Hou Meng, was promoted to Taichang Zhengqing.The governors of Liangzhe, Yin Daliang and Song Qiaonian, the supervisory censors of Shandong, and Anchen and Wu Xun, the doctors of the capital water department, were each promoted to one level of salary and rewarded with 20 taels of silver.We only welcome the luck of the gods, Wei Chengxun, Xu Xiang, Yang Tingpei, Si Fengyi, Zhao Youlan, Fu Tianze, Ximenqing, Tian Jiugao, etc., each promoted to one level.Song Tui, the servant, and Wang You, the battalion commander, all rewarded ten taels of silver.The officer Xue Xianzhong and others each rewarded five taels of silver.Xiaowei Changyu and others, two bolts of silk.The yamen knows.

After Xia Tixing and Ximen Qing finished watching, they went home separately.In the afternoon, Wang Sanguan sent Yongding and Mrs. Wen to get the invitation letter, and invited Ximen Qing to his house for a banquet on the [-]th.Ximen Qing accepted it and was overjoyed, thinking that his wife's future was in his hands.Unexpectedly, on the evening of the tenth day of the lunar new year, Tokyo’s Benwei’s secretary sent a note: “I will inform the officials of the provinces who are prosecuted for the sentence: go to Beijing as soon as possible, and see the court in time for the winter festival to thank you, and you will not be guilty of wrongdoing.”

Ximenqing saw it, and the next day there was a Xia Tixing meeting in the yamen. When everyone got home, they packed up their luggage, prepared gifts for Zhijian, and made an appointment to leave sooner or later.Ximenqing envoy Dai'an called Sister-in-law Wen and told him to go back to Wang Sanguan: "I can't come to the banquet today, I want to go to Beijing to see the court to thank you."

Mrs. Wen hurried back, and Wang Sanguan said: "Since the old man has something to do, please come back and sincerely invite me."

On the one hand, Ximen Qing called Jiang Ben to come here, and told him to follow him, and gave him five taels of silver to be entangled at home.Leaving Chunhong to look after the house, he brought Dai'an and Wang Jing to follow and agreed.He also asked Zhou Shoubei to ask for four patrolling soldiers, four ponies, some pack sedan horses, and a row of troops to carry them.Xia Tixing was followed by Xia Shou.A total of more than twenty people from the two families followed.On the [-]th, I got up and left Qinghe County. It is easy to get late in winter and travel day and night.When we arrived at Huilin Qianhu in Huaiqing Mansion in Huaixi, Qianhu had already gone to Tokyo.Sitting in a sedan chair in the cold weather, riding a horse in the warm weather, ascending Zimo towards the morning, and practicing the world of mortals in the evening.It's exactly: eager to shake the green tent with money, and smash the purple silk whip in a hurry.

It is said that one day when I arrived in Tokyo, I entered the Longevity Gate.Ximen Qing proposed to go to Xiangguo Temple.Xia Tixing refused, and insisted on throwing himself at Cui Zhongshu's family.Ximenqing can't help but first pay homage to him.Just when Cui Zhongshu was at home, he went out to greet him, and went to the hall to talk about the rituals to meet each other.After sitting down and finishing tea, I cupped my hands and asked Ximen Qing's name.Ximen Qing said: "The cheap name is Siquan."

Because he asked: "Old gentleman's title?"

Cui Zhongshu said: "Students are the most ignorant and simple. They are called Xianlinxia, ​​they are called Shouyu when they are humble, and they are called Xunzhai when they are humble."

Yin said: "Longxi, who has long been known as Shengde, relies on her support and solidarity. Nothing is more generous than this."

Ximen Qing said: "Don't dare. I often receive teachings from my subordinates, and now I am a hall lord. I have benefited a lot, and I am very grateful."

Xia Tixing said: "How can you call the officer like this! Then I don't know each other."

Cui Zhongshu said: "What Siquan said is also true, because of his status."

After speaking, they smiled at each other.After a while, pack your luggage.It was getting late, and Cui Zhongshu ordered the boy servant to set the table and set up a meal. It was nothing more than eating and drinking, so there is no need to elaborate.On that day, the two stayed at Cui Zhongshu's house for a rest.

On the next day, each of them prepares gifts and worship cards, and his family members follow him, and go to Cai Taishi's mansion early to kowtow to see him.That day, the grand master had not yet come out of the cabinet, and the officials and people in front of the mansion were crowded like bees and ants, and they couldn't get out.Ximenqing and Xia Tixing gave two packages of silver to the officials at the gate, and reported them in with Jietie.When Steward Zhai saw him, he came out to meet him and asked him to go to his private house outside.First, Xia Tixing finished the meeting first, and then Ximen celebrated the ceremony, said to each other and the intention of reciprocating and reciprocating, and sat down in each guest's seat.Xia Tixing first handed over the gift card: two bolts of golden satin and two bolts of colored satin.Steward Zhai is ten taels of silver.On the Ximen celebration post is a big red velvet colorful python, a black makeup bullfighting collar, and two Beijing satin. In addition, Tiji gave Housekeeper Zhai a black and green cloud velvet and 30 taels of silver.Zhai Qian ordered his left and right: "Take all the gifts of the master into the mansion and put them in the register."

He only accepted Ximen Qing's piece of cloud velvet, not even the 30 taels of silver that Xia Ti gave him, and said: "It's unreasonable. If so, I won't see my best friends and family."

On the one hand, he ordered the tables to be placed on the left and right, and said: "Today, the sage honored Gen Yue, newly built the Qing Baolu Palace, and enshrined a plaque. The master should preside over the sacrifices until the afternoon. When we get home, we will go to Zheng Huang's family to have wine with Li Ye. I'm afraid that my in-laws and Longxi won't be able to wait, and I'll miss out on your business. When the master is idle, it's just normal to wait for me to report for you two."

Ximen Qing said: "My in-laws are bothering you."

Zhai Qian asked, "Where does your in-laws live?"

Ximenqing told Xia Longxi to order his in-laws to rest.After a while, the tables and seats were set up properly, and there were big plates and big bowls. The soup, rice and snacks were brought up together. They were all cooked by Guanglu, and they were delicious.Each Jin Jue drank three cups of wine and was about to bid farewell and get up.Zhai Qian kept the money and asked the left and right to sieve another cup.Ximen Qingyin asked: "In-laws, when do I see the court?"

Zhai Qian said: "In-laws, you can't be with Mr. Xia. Mr. Xia is now an official of the capital, not in this case. You and He Yongshou, the nephew of Ben Wei's newly promoted Deputy Qianhu Supervisor He Dajian, he will be punished, and you will be sentenced. He has become a colleague. He thanked you first, and just waited for you to see the court and finish the recitation, so that we can get the letter together. You will only go to him for everything."

After hearing this, Xia Tixing didn't say a word.Ximen Qing said: "Excuse me, my in-laws, I'm afraid I have to wait until the winter solstice to come back to see the court."

Zhai Qian said: "Dear family, you can't wait for the winter solstice to come back from Shangjiaotian. On that day, officials from all over the world will present their congratulations, and there will be a banquet for the celebration. Why do you wait? Why don't you go to Honglu Temple to register today, tomorrow Thank you in the early morning, until the official in the hall has finished the recitation that day, and get up and pay the letter."

Ximen Qing thanked and said, "How can I repay you after being taught by my in-laws!"

Before getting up, Zhai Qian dragged Ximen Qing to the side net to talk again, complaining Ximen Qing very much: "Dear family, that was written in my book the day before yesterday, and everything must be kept secret, so as not to let colleagues know. How do relatives treat each other?" What did Master Xia say? Teach him to ask Master Lin to send a post, and immediately forced Taiwei Zhu to tell the master that he would be sentenced to three years in office with the rank of command despite his willingness to leave the record; For the sake of the imperial concubine An concubine Liu Niang, who is favored by the imperial court, she also delivered an edict and told the master and Zhu Taiwei personally that he wanted his nephew He Yongshou to be punished in Shandong. Two favors hindered him, so I taught the master how to do it Difficult! Didn't I keep upholding in front of the master again and again, defeating Zhenren Lin and making my in-laws not survive?"

The panicked Ximen Qing quickly bowed and said, "Thank you for your in-laws' kindness! I never told anyone, how does this gentleman know?"

Zhai Qian said: "Since ancient times, if things are not kept secret, harm will happen. From now on, it will be easier for the in-laws to be more cautious in everything."

Thank you Ximenqing for your kindness, and leave the house with Xia Tixing.When I came to Cui Zhongshu's house, I went to Ben Sihonglu Temple to sign up.The next day, Xia Tixing met with Xia Tixing. He came out in front of the Meridian Gate to give thanks, and just turned around the Xique Gate. A man in Tsing Yi walked forward and asked, "Which one is Shandong Tixing Ximen's father?"

Ben Si asked, "Where are you from?"

The man said: "I am Eunuch He, the craftsman and supervisor of the inner government, who came to ask father to speak."

Before he finished speaking, he saw an eunuch wearing a big red python robe, a three-mountain cap on his head, and powder-soled soap boots on his feet, shouting from the imperial street: "Master Ximen invites you!"

Ximen Qingsui and Xia Tixing parted ways, and the eunuch dragged them into a nearby guard room, bowed to each other, and the flustered Ximen Qing turned over and couldn't return the salute.The eunuch said: "My lord, you don't recognize me. I am He Yi, the eunuch who is the craftsman and supervisor. I saw that she was serving under the concubine Ma Niang in the fourth palace of Yanning. The internal work was finished yesterday. Thanks to the grace of Grandpa Long Live, I sent my nephew He Yongshou was promoted to Deputy Qianhu of the Jinwu Guard, seeing that he is in charge of criminal affairs in your place, and he is a colleague with the boss."

Ximen Qing said: "So it's the old eunuch He, the students don't know, forgive me, forgive me!"

On the one hand, he bowed again and said: "I dare not salute in this forbidden place. Let Ri go to the old eunuch's outer house to worship."

So after the ceremony, let's sit down, and the family brought tea to eat.After tea, the lid of the table box was lifted, and there were many soups, rice dishes and dishes on the table, and a chopstick was used to set them down.Eunuch He said: "There's no need for a small cup. My lord is facing down. It's cold. Take a small cup. There's not much food. It's blasphemy to your lord. Let's have a brain."

Ximen Qing said: "It's not appropriate to disturb."

Eunuch He then poured a large cup and handed it to Ximen Qing, Ximen Qing said: "Thanks to the old eunuch's gift, the student will take it. It's just that you have to meet the official worship department when you go out. It doesn't make sense if you eat it until you blush."

Eunuch He said: "Eat two cups, what's the harm in scalding the cold!"

Yin said: "My nephew is young and doesn't know the name of the punishment. I hope Mr. Beg will look at me and teach him everything among my colleagues."

Ximen Qing said: "Don't dare. The old eunuch should not be too humble. Even though the nephew is young, if he keeps his energy and nourishes his body, he will naturally bless his soul."

Eunuch He said: "Your Excellency is easy to talk about. As the saying goes: You will never grow old after learning. Everything in the world is like a cow's hair, and Confucius only knows one leg. I am afraid that there will be mistakes. Your Excellency will tell him anyway."

Ximen Qing said: "Students respectfully."

Because he asked, "Where is the boss's house outside the prison? The students are here to pay homage to the officer."

He Dajian said: "The house is in the east of Tianhan Bridge, and the double lion horse platform in Wenhuafang is there."

He also asked, "Where is my lord's next office? I will teach the officials to bow down first."

Ximen Qing said: "Students are temporarily borrowing from Cui Zhongshu's house."

After asking each other where they lived, Ximen Qing got up after drinking a big cup.Eunuch He sent him out, clasped his hands and said, "As Shijian said, my lord will take care of everything. He is still waiting for your answer and introduction so that he can receive the letter."

Ximen Qing said: "The old eunuch doesn't need to order, the student knows."

So he went out of the court, went to the Ministry of war, met Xia Tixing again, and paid homage to the officials.When I went to see Zhu Taiwei in Benwei, handed over the manuscript of the resume, handed in the letter, and paid homage to the officials of the experience department and our office, it was time for engraving.Xia Tixing changed the color of his command uniform, and saw Taiwei Zhu with another handbook, so he was exempted from kneeling and took office at Nanya on another day.As soon as he left the yamen, Ximen Qing was still waiting, so he didn't dare to go with him and asked him to get on the horse first.Where is Xia Yanling willing?We must go together.Ximen Qing hurried him to call "Tang Zun" Xia commanded: "Siquan, you and I are colleagues first, why do you call them that?"

Ximen Qing said: "The name has been determined, the reason of nature, why is it so modest."

Because he asked: "Tang Zun was promoted to the United States, and he has not returned to Shandong. When will the treasure family move?"

Xia Yanling said: "If you want to move here, the house over there is unattended. Now I'm living here with my relatives. I'll wait until the Chinese New Year, and I'll send someone to take care of my family. I hope the officer will take care of him sooner or later. If someone wants the house, we can take care of it." The central officer sent it for me, and I should thank you."

Ximen Qing said: "Students would like to receive it. May I ask how much the house in your house is worth?"

Xia Yanling said: "I bought this house for 300 taels, and built another floor behind it, costing 200 taels. Now it's worth the original price."

When the two returned to Cui's house, Wang Jing reported to the front, "The new promotion, Father He, came to pay homage. He got off his horse and went to the hall. The younger one returned to the Ministry and returned home. Father He said to pay more respects to Father Xia and Father Cui. , all posted posts. At noon, I sent someone to send two bolts of gold satin."

Wanhong took a look at Ximenqing's post, and it read: "I would like to wear the two ends of the satin handkerchief, and I would like to respect you. He Yongshou, the student of Yinshi, pays homage."

Ximenqing saw it, and quickly sent Wang Jing to seal two Nanjing multicolored lions as replacement collars, and wrote a gift note.After dinner, he hurried back to pay homage to He's house.Arriving at the hall, He Qianhu hurriedly came out to greet her. She was under 20 years old with black gauze and soap shoes, her face was like powder, her lips were like vermilion, and she stepped down to bow down, very humble and humble.The two went to the hall to talk about the ceremony. Ximen Qing ordered Dai'an to present the gift of Zhijian, bowed down, and said: "I am honored to patronize you, and I also received a generous gift, but I failed to welcome you. This morning, I was given food by my husband's house. I am grateful." Virtue is endless."

He Qianhu hurriedly returned the gift and said: "Students accept small jobs, and they are the same as the chief. Sooner or later they will learn and benefit. It is really a blessing for three lives. It is a blessing to go to worship at the right time, and to take care of it. It is a prosperous life."

Order the left and right to take it down, while pulling the chairs to divide the guests and hosts to sit down, and the left and right hold tea.During tea time, they asked each other questions, Ximen Qing said, "Student's name is Siquan."

He Qianhu said: "Student's cheap name is Tianquan."

He asked again: "Sir, did you pay homage to Bibutang today?"

Ximen Qingdao: "I came out with the wine given by the father-in-law of Inner Mongolia. I paid homage to the Bibu. Then I went to the yamen to see the hall. I paid the letter and paid homage to the department. When I came out, I would pay homage to the officer. If I don't know, I will insult the officer first."

He Qianhu asked, "Mr. Xia and Duke Xia are both here today?"

Ximen Qingdao: "Xia Longxi has been promoted to be a direct driver, and today I see Chao Xie En at the same place, but when I go to the Yamen to see the court, he has another handbook for reference."

After finishing speaking, He Qianhu said: "Should we pay the ceremony with the master's father first, or get the letter first?"

Ximen Qingdao: "According to Sheqin, we first enter the ceremony in Master Wei's house, and then lead the performance in the court, and go to the hall in this yamen to collect the letter and pay."

He Qianhu said: "Since that's the case, let's prepare gifts and enter every morning."

So everyone will give each other gifts, He Qianhu is two python clothes, a bunch of jade belts, Ximen Qing is a red unicorn gold satin, a green velvet python clothes, a gold inlaid jade belt ring, and each has four jars of Jinhua wine. .Tomorrow morning, they will be collected in front of Zhu Taiwei's house.The appointment was set, the tea and soup were changed, Ximen Qing left and returned without discussing this matter with Xia Yanling.I've had a question about the night scene.

The next day, I arrived at He Qianhu's house early.He Qianhu prepared a small banquet for brains, with big plates and bowls, neat and tidy, and even his subordinates had a full meal, and then they went to the gate of the captain's house together.Ben Si and the He family are holding gifts.At that time, Zhu Taiwei was newly added to the Taibao, and the Emperor Weizong sent an envoy to the South Altar to see the sacrifices but did not return. All the families presented congratulatory gifts and visited the officials, etc., waiting in a dark crowd at the gate.He Qianhu and Ximen Qing got off their horses, and as soon as they met someone sitting nearby, they sent someone to inform them of the sound of the master's way.Until noon, a person came on a galloping horse and reported: "Master came back from the sacrifice and entered the Nanxun Gate."

Tell the idlers to open it.After a while, he rode back and reported, "Master has crossed the Tianhan Bridge."

After a short while, I saw the officials and soldiers holding the deacon's flags and calling each other one by one. After walking for half a day, I saw Zhu Taiwei carrying eight clusters of shoulder palanquins from a distance, wearing black gauze on his head, and scarlet bullfighting fleece. The robe, the white jade of Jingshan across the waist, hangs the Taibao dental plaque and the golden fish key, so impressive and majestic!When the deacons arrived at the gate of the house, they all opened their mouths word by word, drinking quietly and avoiding, no one coughed.The officials who came to see them knelt in front of the street in a black crowd.After a long time, Taiwei's sedan chair came to him and shouted from left and right: "Get up and serve!"

All the people agreed together, and indeed, their voices shook the sky.Just listening to the sound of drums and drums in the east, it turned out that the six officials of the yamen, Taiwei Tang, saw Zhu Taiwei, Dr. Guanglu, Taibao, and Yin's son as a thousand households. They all prepared big gifts and celebrated with wine. The actors and officials of the teaching workshop are happy here.The Taiwei just got out of the sedan chair, and the fun stopped.Various officials and people are ready to visit.Suddenly there was a sound of the door, and a messenger in Tsing Yi flew away with two red greeting cards in his hand, handed them to the doorman and said: "Master Zhang from the Ministry of Rites and Master Cai, the bachelor, are here to pay respects."

Report it in quickly.After a while, the sedan chair was at the door. The Shangshu Zhang Bangchang and the servant Cai You were both peacock patches in red auspicious clothes, a rhinoceros belt and a gold belt. They went in and worshiped, and sent them out after tea.Wang Zudao, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Han Lu, the left servant, and Yin Jing, the right servant, also came to worship, and Zhu Taiwei was waiting for tea.The emperor's relative Xi Guogong, the privy envoy Zheng Juzhong, and the prince's son-in-law Wang Jinqing of the patriarch's mansion all brought Zihuayu to pay homage.Only Zheng Juzhong sits in a sedan chair, and both of them ride horses.Sending it out, the six Taiweis in the yamen hall arrived: the first one was Sun Rong, the admiral in charge of hatchback arrests, the second one was in charge of machine inspector Liang Yinglong, and the third one was in charge of internal and external observations. , the fourth admiral Huang Jingchen, the inspector of the thirteen gates of the capital, Dou Jian, the fifth inspector of the capital, and Chen Zongshan, the sixth inspector of the capital.They all wear scarlet and sable cicadas on their heads, but Sun Rong is the prince Taibao jade belt, and the rest are gold belts.Get off your horse and go in.Each family has a gift of gold coins.After a while, there was music playing inside, and all the Taiwei placed golden flowers, and Zhu Taiwei passed cups of wine.The side of the food is ten feet long, and the flowers are clustered in a feast of flowers.How can you see the wealth of the Taiwei?But see: the official residence ranks first, ranking three.Hehe Court, Tantan Prime Minister's Mansion.On the Tiger Fu Yu Festival, it is cold in the door court; like a silver zither, there is a lot of ostentation.The audience at the end of the court is nothing more than princes and grandchildren; chasing each other year after year, it is all relatives of the houmen.There, mediation and Xie Li can blindly flatter and flatter.Talking and laughing and fighting, the real bragging startled Haiyue.The false decree ordered the eight ministers to bow their hands, and clever words made the Jiuzhong Emperor nod.The selection of flowers and stones by the supervisor will cause disasters in the south and Huaibei; the offering of boxwood will exhaust the treasury and the people's wealth.It is exactly: the most powerful person under the chariot, the wealth and honor in the world are unparalleled.

After a while, An Xi sat down.A group of five comedians, facing upwards on the zither, the lute, the Fangxiang konghou, and the red teeth like the board, sang a set of "Enjoy wealth and honor, and receive the grace of the emperor". Zhu Taiwei personally sent it out and returned to the hall. The music stopped temporarily, the housekeeper reported the matter, and officials from all over the place came in to see him.Zhu Taiwei ordered the public case to be carried around, sat down in the hall, and ordered to come out, and shill all the relatives, relatives, nobles, officials and family members to come in with gifts.When it is sent out in a moment, it is the official records of the guards, the hatchbacks of the north and south guards, the fifth office, and the seven divisions for arrests, ridicules, observations, inspections, pastoral inspections, direct driving, jailing, commanding, and thousands of households. .Then it came out that the thirteen provinces of Lianghuai, Liangzhe, Shandong, Shanxi, Kanto, Kansai, Hedong, Hebei, Fujian, Guangnan, and Sichuan were called to come in order.Ximen Qing and He Qianhu were on the fifth stage, carrying in the presents. The housekeeper took the gift card and spread it on the desk. The two of them stood at the bottom of the steps, waiting for their names to be called.Ximenqing looked up and saw five factory halls in front of them. On the vermilion plaque, hung the four gold characters "Zhijinwu Hall" bestowed by Emperor Huizong's imperial pen, which is very prominent.After calling their names, the two promised to be promoted, and bowed in front of the dripping eaves.Zhu Taiwei said: "Those two members of thousands of households, why did you ask your eunuch to send gifts?"

The order was accepted by the left and right, and he ordered: "Be careful when you are an official in the local area. I have my own justice here. After the introduction of the court, I will come to the Yamen to pick up the letter and go to office."

The two agreed in unison.Drink left and right: "Get up!"

Exit through the door on the left corner.As soon as I came out of the gate, I saw Ben Si and others carrying their burdens. Just about to leave, a man came to report on a flying horse with a red post, saying, "Your Highness, Your Highness is here."

Ximen Qing and He Qianhu watched from the door.After a while, the military prison shouted, only to see Wang Ye, the Duke of Longxi, the governor of the Beijing camp with 80 forbidden troops, and Taiwei Gaoqiu, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Forest Army, the admiral Shence, coming in sedan chairs with big red jade belts.As soon as the officials from the provinces came out, they disappeared again.Ximenqing and He Qianhu went to a secluded place and called for the horse to be pulled over by others, and then they rode back to the apartment.It's exactly: power treachery harms the country and causes deep disasters, founding the country and inheriting the family to guard against villains.There is no way to punish the rebel deeply, but the two saints are far away from the dust.
