Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 377
Everyone knew that Emperor Wanli lost his temper after returning to his palace.

After the seventh day of April, Emperor Wanli did not go to court for five days in a row. He just walked around his bedroom and imperial study every day, and had no intention of going to the Palace of Compassion.

"Long Live Lord, don't be annoyed by the servant girl's words. I'd better go to the Empress Dowager's side and admit my mistake. Why are there any unresolved grievances between the biological mother and the child? Why are you so stiff?"

Zhang Cheng stood beside Emperor Wanli's desk, persuading him in a low voice. Emperor Wanli, who was sitting there in a daze, suddenly became furious and shouted loudly:

"The widow is the son of heaven, and the widow is the supreme person. The people in the world are loyal to the widow, not the queen mother. These few days, the widow listens to the queen's chatter in the bedroom, and listens to you when I come to the study. Could it be that in this palace? Isn't there a clean place for the widow? Don't talk about it!!"

Zhang Cheng lowered his head and bowed, but he sighed in his heart. After Emperor Wanli got angry a few times, he also kept silent and became dazed again.

Emperor Wanli was indeed very clean these days. After he came back from the Palace of Compassion, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became. The day is just to scare myself, so in the end, is it really necessary to abolish myself?

However, Emperor Wanli has become more and more flustered these days. The inner court is operating normally under the auspices of Feng Bao, and the outer court is operating as usual under the auspices of Zhang Juzheng. Matters that are really related to the great government are reported to the Queen Mother Li for adjudication, which is completely unnecessary. What did Emperor Wanli do.

In the past, although Emperor Wanli couldn't do anything, he participated in this system every day and didn't think much of it. After a few days, he really realized that he was really not necessary for this world. Same.

The more Emperor Wanli stayed, the more flustered he became, but he was asked to go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to admit his mistakes and apologize, but he couldn't save face anyway, and felt that it was extremely embarrassing.

"Long live God can't hold back, so he is standing there. We slaves are just persuading, but we really can't do anything. We are anxious to watch from the sidelines. Eunuch Feng, how is the empress dowager?"

At night in the ceremonial supervisor's room, Zhang Cheng asked Feng Baodao with a wry smile. Feng Bao wrote a few strokes on a memorial, rubbed his forehead and said:

"The empress dowager's side is alright, she still eats with Lu Wang every day, but it's not a solution to be so stiff, if this continues, the empress dowager will really get angry."

The two sighed together, at this moment an eunuch outside announced, walked in with his hands down, and reported in a low voice:

"Eunuch Feng, people from the East Factory came to ask, the troupe performing the Heavenly Demon Dance in Xiyuan ran fast, and wanted to catch people from Jinyiwei and Shuntian Mansion to assist in the investigation."

Feng Bao waved his hands impatiently, and said:
"It's fine if you can't find out. Killing people with a knife can't be traced to the blacksmith shop. It's not a glorious thing. Do you have to make troubles so that everyone in the world knows?"

The eunuch who asked for instructions hurriedly bowed and retreated. Feng Bao and Zhang Cheng looked at each other, and then looked away again. It is good that everyone knows some things well, and there is no need to say too clearly.

After asking about the disposal of several notebooks, Zhang Cheng asked again:

"Since Sun Hai is not here, Eunuch Feng has someone to recommend to the Queen Mother for the position of Admiral of the Imperial Horse Supervisor."

Feng Bao shook his head, and said in a deep voice while reviewing the papers:
"The affairs of the Yumajian are all ordered by the Empress Dowager, this is absolutely forbidden for you and me to reach out..."

Having said that, Zhang Cheng hastily pleaded guilty, but Feng Bao was in a good mood, and continued to say:
"Chu Zhaoren, who is the guard in Nanjing, is also a person who has gone out of Prince Yu's Mansion. He also has years of experience. This time, it is likely to be him."

The release of this news is also of great benefit to Zhang Cheng. Although it cannot be the idea of ​​​​the Imperial Horse Supervisor, the position of the eunuch guarding Nanjing is also a first-class middle official foreigner, so you can always think about it.

"Hurry up and persuade Lord Long Live to turn this temper around, or this good thing will be turned into a bad thing!"

Feng Bao finally said.

*************
What happened to the emperor's inner palace did not affect the overall situation. The capital was peaceful, singing and dancing everywhere, and the Qin Pavilion was at its best business of the year.

Officials and scholars from the capital came to the Qin Pavilion to have fun, accompanied by beautiful women, and they often used to show off and exaggerate, who knew more secrets than anyone else. The Emperor Wanli was caught by the Empress Dowager Cisheng when he was performing the Demon Dance in Xiyuan, and severely reprimanded him. , The things that were being pondered behind closed doors were rumored.

This kind of gossip and rumors, everyone knows that if they are investigated, it will be the danger of beheading and exterminating the family, but everyone also knows that they will not be investigated, so they lowered their voices and spoke vigorously.

The news kept coming from various private rooms and other courtyards to the next few rooms, and Song Chanchan and the people sent here by the Department of Public Security jointly analyzed and selected them.

Everyone in the Qin Pavilion knows that Miss Song may take a car to go to some silk shops, tailor shops, makeup and jewelry shops during the day, and even go to other famous restaurants and teahouses in the capital, but at night, she will definitely go to her shop. In the small yard, staring at the news ahead.

But on the night of April [-]th, Song Chanchan was not there. This abnormal behavior made everyone quite surprised, and they all speculated, but they couldn't guess the reason.

Qin Guan is making money every day, and Song Chanchan also has some property in the capital. There is a house next to Shaoqing's mansion in Dali Temple in the west city. It was sold to Song Chanchan half a year ago.

There are only a dozen or so old servants cleaning the house, and it is very clean all day long, but tonight is a little different. Many young servants have come to the mansion, and there are grooms staying at the door, and people passing by When I saw it, I just muttered a few words, the people living here are all dignitaries, this house is like this, or the owner came back, or some kind person stayed temporarily, that's all.

There are people dressed as servants sitting or standing everywhere in the house, and the study room in the house is lit.

"The dance team left the city on the seventh day of the lunar new year, and the work has been done."

Now, Song Chanchan, who may not show any color when seeing officials of the fourth and fifth ranks, stood aside respectfully, and replied to the young man sitting on the chair. He hadn't seen him for more than a year. He is mature and prudent, and under the lamp, he thought he was a middle-aged man in his 30s.

Wang Tong sighed and said in a deep voice:

"Send the money after one year. You can write down all the things they asked for, and I will do it after one year. It will make them feel at ease."

Song Chanchan glanced at the two people around her, and said hesitantly:

"Master, I would like to say something presumptuous. Will the palace continue to investigate such a big matter..."

Wang Tong has been carefully looking through the recent files of the Department of Public Security. Hearing Song Chanchan's words, he shook his head and said with a smile:

"No, the matter has come to this point, and it's too late to cover it up inside, so why continue to investigate."

The palace will definitely not investigate, Wang Tong also has his own news, but he can't say it clearly, Wang Tong turned his head and said to Li Wenyuan next to him:

"Brother Li, has the letter been delivered to the palace?"

Li Wenyuan replied in a deep voice:
"Don't worry, my lord. It was delivered through the Delicious Restaurant the afternoon before yesterday, and it should have been delivered to Eunuch Zhang the night before."

Wang Tong nodded and smiled, nodded and said:

"I originally wanted to bring the tiger head back this time, but his battalion is on duty by the Haihe River. As usual, he can't take a leave of absence. This officer is not easy to accommodate. Let's see if the tiger head comes back during the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"My lord, there is no need to be like this. The army talks about military law. Let the tiger head do what others do. Don't spoil him!"

Hearing Li Wenyuan's words, Wang Tong laughed a few times, and then said to Lu Wancai on the other side:
"Lord Lu, have you checked the Wucheng Bingmasi and the other yamen? Does anyone else know the news of my official's return to Beijing?"

Lu Wancai shook his head with a smile, and said:
"There is no news yet. There are so many people coming and going in and out of the capital every day. The caravan coming from Tianjin Wei will not attract attention. Please rest assured, my lord."

Wang Tong nodded, looked at everyone standing there, but patted his forehead and said with a smile:

"Everyone, sit down quickly. We are all our own people. As soon as we come in, we just ask about business. It's a good thing."

Everyone laughed, Li Wenyuan, who has always been rigid, couldn't help laughing and said:

"My lord's letter arrived the day before yesterday. No one thought that my lord had already arrived in the capital yesterday. Tonight, Miss Song sent letters everywhere, which shocked my subordinates."

After Lu Wancai sat down, he couldn't stop tapping his palm with the folding fan in his hand, and said in admiration:
"My lord's layout is really admirable. At a glance, it is bold and reckless, but when you look closely, you find it is very safe. The reactions inside and outside the palace are as expected by your lord. It is really wonderful."

"I'm in Tianjin Wei, so far away from the capital, and what I'm doing is those things. If you don't have His Majesty's favor, everything will be off the table. Your wealth and wealth will not be guaranteed. You have to do it, you have to do it."

Hearing Lu Wancai's flattery, Wang Tong said indifferently, at this time someone outside raised his voice and said:

"There's a reply
**************
Seeing two people in civilian clothes come out from the southern gate of the imperial city, the guard on duty was about to step forward to ask questions. As soon as he took a step, he saw someone gesturing behind the two of them. After a closer look, he quickly bowed and retreated. .

"Two years ago, I was reprimanded by my mother in the palace and punished by Mr. Zhang. I was very angry. It was Zhang Ban who accompanied you and led me to wander outside. I met Wang Tong and Hutou."

Not long after they walked, the two arrived on South Street. Emperor Wanli looked at the familiar place in a daze, and said with emotion. Zhang Cheng nodded with a smile on the side, and said:
"Long live, go to the delicious restaurant and sit down, the people there will be cleaned up."

Wanli nodded, and the two came to the Delicious Hall. Zhang Cheng quickly walked a few steps and opened the curtain. Wanli stepped inside. The Delicious Hall was very clean, but there was one person inside. When he saw Emperor Wanli, he got up and bowed down.

"Minister Wang Tong, kowtow to see my emperor, long live, long live."
