Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 112
The important event of the appointment of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials cannot be determined by the emperor's words. An order needs to be issued in the palace.

Before Wang Guoguang, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, left the palace, the interested people in the palace already knew the news, and the news was delivered in a hurry. Before the order in the palace was issued, it had already been spread outside the palace.

The spring day was just right, and the whole Shangshu Mansion didn't know that Wang Guoguang had been deprived of his position, and was on the way to death, and everyone in the Shangshu Mansion was at ease.
All the servants and maids in the mansion know that the young master suffered a disadvantage outside yesterday, and today he is staying in his small courtyard and sulking.

The servants who are a bit shameless are not willing to get close to Wang Tailai's small house, and there are often inexplicable movements in broad daylight, and they are shameless.

It was the same today, a few maidservants passing by covered their ears, and ran over with blushing faces, and a few servants wanted to listen more, but were scolded away by the passing elders.

Even the sound from the outside is the same, let alone the inside. You don’t even need to wear shoes when you enter Wang Tailai’s bedroom. The floor is covered with thick blankets from the Western Regions. Objects are placed around, there are a lot of things that even the biggest brothels in Beijing, Yangzhou and Suzhou may not have.

Wang Guoguang has always disliked this prodigal only son, father and son are very alienated from each other except for occasions when they must see each other, and Wang Tailai's house has become a secret place.

In fact, in this room, not to mention shoes, both men and women don't even wear clothes. Two beautiful women hugged Wang Tailai who was lying in the middle, talking in a low voice.

Wang Tailai had a tired look on his face, but his spirit was very excited. While groping with his hands, he said loudly:

"In the past few days, the practice of Sanyang Kungfu has gradually begun to show some effect. The two fairies can feel it."

Those two beautiful women laughed coquettishly, they burrowed into Wang Tailai's arms, and after they had done that delicate demeanor, only one of them said in a tone of voice:

"Young master is so fierce that both my concubine and my sister can't bear it. You should quickly find a helper so that you can share the burden with my concubine and sister..."

Wang Tailai let out a long breath, and said bitterly:

"If the cauldron that I saw in Nancheng yesterday can be brought back to the mansion, I will definitely be able to cultivate this skill to perfection. If I want to nourish it, I still need this fierce little girl. What about Xiaolian? Why didn't you go out just now?" When you come back, do you still have to wait for her to double cultivate together?"

While talking, there was a soft voice at the door:
"Master, Xiao Lian is back, it was Sister Luzhu's family who brought a message."

Wang Tailai waved his hands impatiently and said:
"If you have anything to say, quickly take off your clothes and come in and say, Young Master, I still want to practice kung fu with you!"

This Xiao Lian was not very old, but she didn't see any shyness, she took off her clothes at the door, walked in with small steps, and said in a low voice:
"Sister Luzhu, your uncle said that the dog you raised has bitten someone, and others will come to your door to look for it. They are afraid of trouble, so you should kill the dog as soon as possible."

The Prince became even more impatient, raised his hand and said:

"It's just a dog's life and death, and it's really troublesome to send people to the door. Come here, come here!"

The two women who were snuggling next to Wang Tailai heard Xiaolian's words and looked at each other. The arms around his neck suddenly tightened and they were strangled.

Wang Tailai opened his mouth suddenly, his eyes were full of inconceivable expressions, he wanted to look left and right, but the strength of the two women's arms locked was very strong, and Wang Tailai's body was hollowed out by wine, and he couldn't move at all. With "ho ho" in her mouth, Xiao Lian casually picked up a rolled up handkerchief and stuffed it into his mouth, and said with a smile:

"The two sisters, the uncle said that Wang Tailai may have lost power in his family and was afraid of being questioned by the palace, so he hanged himself..."

Luzhu felt that the locked body was struggling more and more lightly, and his heart relaxed a little, and he said:
"In the left wing room, there is a white silk that is used to bind people, go and get it, it happens to be used on Young Master."

……

All the servants in the Shangshu Mansion knew that although this young master was able to make troubles, his body was not strong. He often liked to sleep behind closed doors during the day and night, and anyone who disturbed him would be scolded embarrassingly.

So the two women who often waited in the young master's house said they were going to visit their family members who lived nearby, and the close maid, Xiao Lian, said that she was going to buy some nourishing things to make soup for the young master, and the person who looked at the side door had no doubts. Yes, let it out directly.

In the afternoon, everyone who should know the news that Shangshu Wang Guoguang became an official knew it, and the whole Shangshu Mansion fell into chaos. Some ran away with gold and silver artifacts, some hanged themselves, and some cried at their master's side. , all kinds of chaos, no one cared about that house anymore.

However, Wang Guoguang was still somewhat calm. After discussing with a few close courtiers and disciples, he determined his own way out, and then sent someone to find his son. It's a disaster, but the official messenger hasn't come to the door yet, so I hurriedly let Wang Tailai go first.

This kind of situation is not uncommon, as long as they can run out before the arrested officials come to the door, everyone can save face for each other, and they won't be too embarrassing.

Unexpectedly, when he went to the mansion, he found that Prince Wang had hanged himself with white silk in his small house. This news made Wang Guoguang's mansion fall into another tragedy.

Wang Guoguang burst into tears, thinking that although his son is absurd, he still has the courage to take responsibility...

As for the few beautiful concubines raised in the prince's house, all the gold, silver and jewels in the house were also swept clean, presumably because they were timid and fearful, took the money and ran away, such things are normal, right now The chaos has become like this, who cares about a few women running away.

However, the maid who went in to clean the room still remembered that there was a Buddha statue made of silver in that small room, and it was placed in a hidden compartment. When she went in to look for it, she found that it had long since disappeared, and she couldn't help cursing secretly. Well, when those hooves left, they swept up everything valuable.

****
Emperor Wanli went to the martial arts hall as usual, but Feng Bao, the eunuch in charge of the supervisor of ceremonies, and Zhang Juzheng, the chief assistant of the cabinet, did not go to their respective yamen to handle official business.

Because the Cisheng Empress Dowager Li had an order to summon her during lunch, the two naturally couldn't disobey and rushed over early.

The cabinet discussions, the overall situation of the government, and even the emperor's words and deeds in the court hall are all sorted out and reported to the Empress Dowager Li. If the Wanli Emperor has anything wrong or wrong, he will even be punished by kneeling in front of Emperor Longqing's spiritual throne. And repeatedly copy the sage articles.

After Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng arrived at the Empress Dowager's place, they felt that the atmosphere was not right. Feng Bao casually glanced at a little eunuch next to the pillar, and the little eunuch winked.

Seeing this look, Feng Bao immediately knew that the Empress Dowager was angry. In the past when the two came here, Empress Dowager Li would ask the palace servants to give her a seat in a pleasant manner, but today she never did.

"Mr. Zhang, Feng Daban, the first emperor asked Gu to wait with you, just to help you stabilize the situation when the emperor was young, but today the emperor let old ministers like Wang Shangshu go to office because of a trivial matter that did not exist. Why don't you advise me?"

The emperor's family is rich in the world and has the world in mind. Wang Tailai's willful behavior, killing a good girl is nothing more than a trivial matter in the eyes of Queen Mother Li. Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng looked at each other. Before they could answer, Queen Mother Li said:

"The report from Dongchang should have come to Ai's house yesterday. Feng Bao, why did you hold back the report? Your Majesty is so absurd. Have you not understood the importance of this since you have been in the Supervisor of Rituals for many years?"

Feng Bao smiled wryly, knelt on the ground, and replied respectfully:
"Empress Dowager, His Majesty ordered this old slave to suppress the news yesterday, saying that it is enough to report today, and His Majesty's will is only a day's delay. The old slave thought that it is better to follow His Majesty's wishes, so he suppressed it."

Even though separated by the bead curtain, both Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng could feel the Queen Mother Li's anger, Feng Bao waved his hands around quickly and winked a few times.

The surrounding maids and eunuchs retreated hastily, and when there were only three people left in the hall, the Empress Dowager spoke more severely, and said:
"The Ai family is going to wear court clothes to go to the Taimiao to worship the ancestors and the first emperor. The emperor is so ridiculous at such a young age. Mr. Zhang, if Feng Daban doesn't persuade you, are you also silent as the chief assistant and emperor's teacher?"

There was no one else in the hall, so Zhang Juzheng stepped forward quickly, with a louder voice, cut off Empress Dowager Li's words, bowed and said:

"Empress Dowager, Wang Guoguang appointed a private person, accepted bribes, and secretly ordered Qing rumor officials to attack private enemies, not to mention his only son's absurdity. It is the status of the veteran of the three dynasties that has kept him from falling. From this point of view, Your Majesty There are no omissions in the decision..."

Empress Dowager Li behind the bead curtain snorted coldly, but stopped talking. Zhang Juzheng straightened his body and continued:

"Empress Dowager, the minister said something impolite, and while talking and laughing, let the minister of the official department and other important officials resign from their posts. Did the late emperor ever do such a thing?"

The palace was very quiet again. The late emperor was talking about Emperor Longqing. Emperor Longqing had a cowardly and introverted personality. The cabinet and the chief inspector of rites handled almost all affairs of the Ming Dynasty by themselves. The courtiers didn't have much respect for Emperor Longqing. Gong also said that His Majesty should not participate in government affairs, and that having more children in the harem is a serious matter, and it didn't interfere.

Empress Dowager Li has such strict requirements on Emperor Wanli, she must not want Wanli to be as useless as his father. Feng Bao, who was kneeling on the ground, keenly sensed the empress dowager's emotional changes, and said on the ground:

"Long live God looks like he is in the cabinet today, this old slave can vaguely see the demeanor of Emperor Sejongsu's ancestor..."

Emperor Sejongsu is Jiajing, who has ruled the world for more than 40 years. All the ministers and officials are under his control, and his power is unparalleled. Hearing Feng Bao's evaluation, Empress Dowager Li behind the bead curtain was stunned, and suddenly found that she had no anger at all. .
