Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 122 Night in the Forbidden City
"Knowing some martial arts is also good. At least it can strengthen your body. The emperor has been weak since he was a child. These days, he can see that his spirit has improved and he has eaten more. Aijia is very happy."

Cisheng Empress Dowager Li said indifferently, the eunuch Huang Yang wearing a black robe below was getting old and trembling after standing there for a while, Li waved his hand to offer the seat, and Huang Yang quickly thanked him and sat down.

"Huang Yang, do you still have family members outside the palace?"

Empress Dowager Li asked again, Huang Yang quickly stood up to answer, and said hoarsely:

"If you go back to the Empress Dowager, the old slave and two nephews are all in Baoding Mansion."

Although there is no explanation, everyone knows that for an eunuch of Huang Yang's status, the two nephews in Baoding Mansion must be wealthy people. Empress Dowager Li nodded and said again:

"You're getting old too. You should have handed over the job of eunuch supervisor to the Imperial Horse Supervisor earlier. Ai's family ordered you to go out of the palace and return to your hometown so that your two nephews can take care of themselves."

There are three people in the imperial horse supervisor who can be called eunuchs, namely the palm seal, supervisor and admiral. The supervisory eunuchs manage the Huangzhuang Huangdian grassland, and support the military payment of the four battalions and the warrior battalion. Their status is quite high.

Hearing what Queen Mother Li said, Huang Yang was taken aback for a moment, then he left his seat tremblingly and knelt down, kowtowed several times, and said in a crying voice:

"The empress dowager is like the kindness of the sky, and the servants and servants will be smashed to pieces for generations to come, and they can't repay it."

As he got older, once he knelt down like this, it was difficult to stand up again. The little eunuch at the side quickly came over to help him sit down.

Purified and become a eunuch, that is a slave of the royal family, everything can't be controlled by oneself, and the situation in the palace is changing, strange and inexplicable, and extremely dangerous.

After many powerful eunuchs got old, they were exhausted physically and mentally, they couldn't manage their errands well, and they couldn't gain the upper hand in the struggles in the palace. They were often quite miserable when they were old.

Therefore, some eunuchs who have made great contributions in the palace have special rewards. If these eunuchs have relatives outside the palace, a special decree will be given to them to break away from their status as eunuchs and go out of the palace to accept the care of younger generations.

This is tantamount to making them become normal people and live a normal life, and they are also taken care of by the royal family and their former colleagues and disciples outside the palace. Don't worry about anything. For the eunuchs who are still working in the palace, it is the biggest and most important thing. Great reward.

But with such a kind reward, the palace would not easily open such an opening. Many people did not receive this kind of care even if they entered the supervisor of ceremonies and worked as a writer and tutor.

And the supervising eunuch of the Yumajian couldn't be ranked in terms of seniority. I don't know why it was given to him. This Huang Yang has also experienced many ups and downs. Knowing that he has been given such a reward, there must be more to come. Sure enough, Empress Dowager Li waved her hand to make all the eunuchs and maids serving in the palace retreat.

When there were only three people left in the hall, the Cisheng Empress Dowager Li said:
"Before he died, Tan Zili published a memorial, saying that now Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang are supporting the overall situation, and the military affairs of the Ming Dynasty are flourishing, but if Qi and Li are gone, there is no one available in the Ming Dynasty."

Huang Yang sat up straighter, knowing that the Empress Dowager began to speak the main text:
"The Ai family pondered, our Great Ming has more than a million soldiers and horses, without Qi and Li, we have others to take the top, so why worry so unnecessarily, but Tan Zili's memorial makes it clear that the border town and the imperial court are not always of the same mind. The generals in the town over there often don’t remember that they have the kindness of being the court and His Majesty today, but they often remember that they are from a certain town, and they only want money and salary.”

The Empress Dowager picked up the tea bowl beside her and took a sip, then said lightly:
"It's inconvenient for His Majesty to be separated by a layer like this. If you don't deal with it carefully, you don't know how many troubles will happen. So this is the best way. We grew up together and know the basics...Tan Zili's idea coincides with Aijia's, the martial arts gym where His Majesty is staying, Wang Tong and the youngsters from all over, do they just respond to this?"

Feng Bao and Huang Yang were very clear about the affairs of the Huwei Martial Arts Hall, and they nodded immediately, but the Empress Dowager Li asked leisurely:
"Huang Yang, tell me how is the martial arts?"

It is said to be the queen mother, but Emperor Wanli is 14 years old this year, Emperor Longqing has only been in power for seven years, and Empress Dowager Li has only just reached middle age. She has a quick mind, and of course she will not ask a question that has already been asked. Similarly, Huang Yang also knew how to answer. Just as he was about to stand up, the Queen Mother stopped him with a gesture and sat down. He thought for a while and said:
"The teenagers are only 14 years old. They have never been on the battlefield, and they have never seen bloody swords and soldiers. They know that it is good to join forces to deal with one place first. The son of Uncle Xiangcheng's family also has scruples in his heart. No matter how reckless you find things, throw them far away and smash them, and hit them after smashing them, it may not be so embarrassing."

This is a pertinent evaluation. Empress Dowager Li nodded with a smile, pondered for a while and said:
"The emperor is the master of the world, and he can't stay in the martial arts hall for years, but the rest of the children, especially that Wang Tong, still need to focus on nurturing, so that they can help the emperor in the future, don't be a jester, Huang Yang, I will leave this matter to you, do you have any ideas?"

It seems that this is what he had to do for such a big reward before, Huang Yang understood in his heart, and at the same time secretly marveled in his heart, this Wang Tong is really blessed by the gods, and he can be so valued by the higher-ups.

He called suddenly at night, and after chatting for a few words, he suddenly asked about this. Huang Yang was getting older, and he couldn't turn around in a hurry, so he spent a lot of time thinking about it.

Feng Bao on the side covered his mouth with his hands, and coughed lightly. Huang Yang's body trembled, but he remembered someone, and leaned forward to report:
"Empress Dowager, five years ago, Yu Dayou, the commander-in-chief of Fujian, was dismissed from his post because he was implicated in the failure of the Japanese pirates in Penghu. The outstanding people in the world, the well-known generals in common, the meaning of this old slave is better to be transferred to the capital, to teach by word of mouth, and to give all the skills of the whole body to these young heroes. The details of the captives are handled by the old slave."

Cisheng Empress Dowager Li nodded again, obviously appreciating the arrangement, and said:
"The Ai family has also heard the name of Yu Dayou many times. The so-called famous general 'Yu Long Qihu', but this Yu Dayou has made great contributions, but he has had ups and downs. He has never been rich and prosperous. Feng Daban, this matter should be arranged as soon as possible. Bar."

*****
The affairs in the Empress Dowager's bedroom came to an end, it was completely dark, but Feng Bao didn't rest, he hurried to the Prison of Rituals again.

As the eunuch who is in charge of ceremonies and seals, he is equivalent to the chief assistant. He has to review and review there every morning and evening, otherwise he will really miss the important events of the world.

The Supervisor of Rituals was a small house with bright lights inside and out. Serious eunuchs of all sizes came in and out. When they saw the palm print eunuch Feng Bao approaching, they all bowed and bowed, avoiding it.

The current structure of the eunuchs is a bit different. Under Zhang Cheng's suggestion, this side has been slightly changed. The palm print eunuch and the Bingbi eunuch are in a small room alone, while the accompanying eunuchs are on duty outside.

When Feng Bao entered the room, he saw Zhang Cheng, the eunuch of Bingbi, reading the booklets. Although Zhang Cheng was the emperor's companion and the eunuch of Bingbi, the supervisor of ceremonies, he had to be polite and respectful in front of Feng Bao. Cheng stood up with a smile and greeted him. Feng Bao pressed his hand and motioned to sit down.

Feng Bao sat on the seat, pressed his hands between his eyebrows first, and asked with his eyes closed, his voice was quite tired:
"There shouldn't be anything going on outside today, right?"

"Eunuch Feng, first of all, there are applauding voices inside and outside, saying that the first assistant Zhang Ge Lao Qingzhang Tian Mu is an act for my Ming Dynasty, and all provinces and governments are urgently doing it."

Feng Bao sighed, sat up straight and said in a deep voice:

"As soon as Zhang Han, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, took office, he punished the salaries of seven magistrates in Henan, Shanxi, and Shandong on the charge of laxity. With such an attitude, who would dare to slack off on the matter of Qingzhang's fields?"

Zhang Cheng on the side nodded, flipped through the pile of notebooks on the right a few times, pulled out a notebook and said:
"Officials in several places in Huguang, Nanzhili, and Jiangxi have written letters saying that it is a good thing to clear up the acres of land, but some people in the local area think that the more acres of land from Qingzhang, the better. Some count nine-tenths of land as one mu, and some Counting the eighth part of the field as an acre, and some people who are mean are even counting six parts of an acre. There is a lot of resentment in the local area..."

Feng Baogang picked up the ink pen, and when he heard Zhang Cheng's words, he waved his hands and said in a cold voice:
"It's better to collect more silver than anything else. It's not like you don't know what's going on in the library. It was only the year before last that you didn't have a deficit, but now you have less than a million silver in total. The emperor is going to get married. If everyone asks for money, I don’t know how to make money at the end of the year, such discounts will be suppressed in the future, money is important, and there are some grievances in the local area, just bear it for a while.”

Zhang Cheng's expression also became much more cautious, but Feng Bao's words just now had a taste of reprimand, and the atmosphere became awkward. Zhang Cheng rolled his eyes, and then said with a smile:

"In today's report, it was said that the general of Tan Lun's family had already arrived at Wang Tong's side. Tan Zili was really interesting. After a few glances, he gave something again and entrusted it to the general."

"Tan Lun, as a civil servant, seeks military affairs. He has good friends with Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou. He often speaks out in court, and has a lot of quarrels with scholar-official officials. Wang Tong can see that he has a bright future and is indeed talented. Tan Zili is a I really want to be the seed of a famous general for Daming, and secondly, to build a relationship with this Wang Tong and climb a big tree, so as not to be liquidated in the future..."

After Feng Bao casually said a few words, he opened the booklet and began to review it.
