Ming Dynasty 1566

Chapter 84

Of course, Zhang Juzheng understood the deep meaning of Xu Jie's words, and further confirmed that what Zhao Zhenji did was probably what his teacher meant, and he stood up quickly: "The stolen money that Zheng Michang and He Maocai are greedy for can neither save the crisis nor destroy it." Thieves and enemies, the court should order Zhao Zhenji to dig deep into the property of other corrupt officials! The safety of the Ming Dynasty depends on the southeast. Only after this battle can we solve the worries of the emperor and the difficulties of the people. Elder Ge, the burden of hope in the world Everyone expects the old man to come and choose!"

Xu Jie looked at him, but with both hands he tore the two pieces of paper he wrote just now into pieces one by one, and gently threw them into the wastebasket beside the desk: "Everyone will bear the heavy burden. Your military department can do it too." Give Zhao Zhenji the official document."

Zhang Juzheng's eyes sparkled and immediately continued: "Then can the Ministry of War say that it is an official document under the order of the cabinet?"

Xu Jie stood up slowly, and answered the two words very clearly this time: "Yes."

A golden coiled dragon, with its scales slightly open, its eyes wide open, its head raised to the sky, as if it would leap away from the lid of its lying golden seal at any moment and fly into the air!

This is Zhenglong, and there are eight walking dragons around the four sides of the gold seal box!

This gold box contains the country of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor's jade seal!

Chen Hong's two hands slowly surrounded him, his ten fingers pinched the printing box tightly, his eyes were illuminated by the golden light!

For the five major cases, several eunuchs with Bingbi were dispatched by Chen Hong, so the chairs on both sides were empty, and only Chen Hong sat in the middle of the chair where Lv Fang was sitting, gazing at Jin. The printing box was in a trance there.

"Report to the second ancestor, the servants have brought the cabinet ticket to the second ancestor!" The voice of the eunuch on duty sounded outside the door of the duty room.

Chen Hong raised his head, a feeling of boredom poured into his eyes from his heart, stared outside the door for a long time, put away the hatred in his eyes, and smiled: "Come in."

"Yes." Two eunuchs on duty walked in with two stacks of official documents from the cabinet.

"Let's put it on the case." Chen Hong's tone was very gentle.

"Yes." The two eunuchs on duty, one on each side, put two stacks of official documents on the left corner of the desk and the other on the right corner of the desk, and then retreated towards the door.

"Wait." Chen Hong stopped the two of them, "Who called our house outside the door just now?"

The two eunuchs on duty were stunned for a moment, and the one on the right replied timidly: "Go back to the second ancestor, it's the slave who invited the second ancestor outside the door."

Chen Hong: "What ancestor? Our family didn't understand, please call again."

The eunuch became anxious, looked up secretly, and saw Chen Hong sitting there still smiling, not looking angry, so he calmed down again: "If you go back to the second ancestor, slave..."

"Stop." The smile on Chen Hong's face disappeared immediately, "You call me the second ancestor, is there another first ancestor? Who is this first ancestor, let me tell you about it."

The eunuch finally woke up and plopped down on his knees: "Slave, I don't know who the ancestor is..."

"I just know there is another ancestor, right?" Chen Hong's voice was already very cold.

"Slave... Slave..." The eunuch's tongue was dry, and he couldn't speak.

Chen Hong looked to the left at another eunuch who was still standing bowed.

"I, I... the ancestor." The eunuch immediately understood that his partner had committed a taboo because of the title "Second Ancestor", and when he knelt down after plopping, how could he dare to use the word "two" when he called Chen Hong again, but "a second ancestor" "The word can't be used, thanks to his wit, he simply didn't add any titles, just called "Ancestor", "Ancestor, the servant didn't say anything just now..."

Chen Hong felt a little awkward at first when he called out the word "two", and he was not used to it. He froze for a moment, thought for a while, and still recognized his understanding: "Yeah. I didn't say anything. You can still say anything. Go and call in all the people on duty outside."

"Yes, ancestor." The eunuch knew that the title he had changed was approved, and when he answered this, he became a lot stronger, kowtowed his head and quickly got up and left the door.

Chen Hong picked up the top copy of the stack of official documents on the left and looked at it.

The other eunuch knelt there already trembling.

Soon, the eunuch came in with a group of eunuchs on duty, and they all knelt on the ground silently.

The eunuch who called people: "Report, report to the ancestors, the servants have called all the servants."

Chen Hong ignored him, and didn't look at the eunuchs who had just entered and knelt, but turned his eyes from the official documents to the eunuch who called him the second ancestor: "Come here, let our family see your clothes."

The eunuch's hands and feet were all weak: "Go back, go back to the ancestors, the slave knows..." At this time, he knew it was too late to change his words, so he got up with great effort, and slowly moved to Chen Hong like stepping on cotton. The head is lower than the shoulders.

"Clothes." Chen Hong's voice could not tell any attitude, "Our family said, we want to see your clothes."

The eunuch raised his hem with trembling hands, and held a corner of the robe over, but he didn't dare to hold it too close to Chen Hong.

Chen Hong looked at the slightly trembling robe corners, and did not hide the distaste on his face: "Look, it's all dirty like this, thanks to the fact that you still have the face to work in the Supervisor of Ceremonies. You called me the second ancestor, I'll help you, the water at the Laundry Bureau is good, so you can go there and wash your clothes."

There was a bang in the eunuch's mind, the sky was falling, and he was stunned.

The other kneeling eunuchs were also shocked.All of a sudden, the supervisor's room was so quiet that the eunuchs' ears were full of buzzing!

There are 24 yamen in the palace, and being able to serve as an errand in the Supervisor of Rituals is a blessing that will take a few lifetimes to achieve.The youngest eunuch here is also a third-rank official when he goes out.With the word "Second Ancestor", this person was sent to the lowest level of the clothing bureau to do hard labor.This dismounting will spread throughout the palace in less than a day.

"Are you unwilling to go?" One can imagine what was behind Chen Hong's question.

The eunuch who was punished didn't say anything, took a step back, knelt down and kowtowed three times: "Slave, thank the ancestor for the reward." He got up with a pale face, and walked out.

Those people knelt there, waiting for Chen Hong to continue to show his prestige, who dared to move.

Chen Hong looked at the eunuch who called him his ancestor: "Come here too, and let our family see your clothes."

The eunuch's face immediately turned pale, and when he got up, his hands and feet were soft, and when he walked over, he also followed the previous eunuch to lift his hem.

"No need." Chen Hong stopped him, "Let's just take a look at the patch on your chest."

The eunuch wanted to bow his head and show Chen Hong the patch on his chest. This movement was too difficult to do. He pulled his patch and turned his head to one side to lower his head. How awkward it was.

With a "puchi", Chen Hong also smiled: "Why are you still a seventh-rank? Go to your head, as I said, ask him to change you a piece of fifth-rank tonic. From tomorrow onwards, you will be Grade five."

From the uncertainty of life and death to the promotion to the third level, this person's body suddenly froze, and he knelt down: "Thank, thank you ancestor for the reward...Thank you ancestor for reward!"

Finally called the ancestors!But this old ancestor made Chen Hong's face very serious all of a sudden: "What you said just now doesn't count! Downgrade a level and change to a sixth-grade tonic!"

The word "old" was added, but it was downgraded by one level. This eunuch was stunned, and all the eunuchs in the whole place were stunned.

Chen Hong said very solemnly: "From now on, there are no ancestors in the palace. Anyone who wants to call him an ancestor should go to Yongling. Did you all hear that?"

All the eunuchs saved it: "Go back to the ancestors, I heard it all!"

"Okay." Chen Hong stood up, "You don't need any other abilities here, and knowing the rules is the greatest ability. From tomorrow onwards, each of you will be promoted to a new level."

"Thank you ancestors for the reward!" A piece of high octave, lifted up the guard's room.

Chen Hong stood up slowly, and looked at the eunuch who changed his name again. The eunuch was changed by him, and now he felt uneasy again.

"Don't kneel." Chen Hong stopped him, "If you do good deeds with your heart, you will be rewarded; if you do something unintentional, you won't be punished! Even though the word 'old' you just added inappropriately, you still have good intentions. The cabinet How is the value house going now? What's the situation?"

The eunuch immediately replied: "Back to the ancestors, everything is according to the instructions of the ancestors, all the ministries are not allowed in, only Zhang Juzheng is allowed to see Elder Xu Ge."

Chen Hong: "Did Yan Shifan make a fuss?"

The eunuch: "Going back to the ancestors, let's make a fuss. But according to the orders of the ancestors, Eunuch Shi is there to take care of it, and he dares to make a fuss over our chief inspector?"

There was a smile in Chen Hong's eyes again: "Is Zhang Juzheng gone?"

The eunuch: "Going back to the ancestors, I just left. Now only Xu Ge is on duty in the cabinet."

Chen Hong was very satisfied when he saw that his reply was so clear and thoughtful: "From now on, you will be my personal attendant. Bring your official documents and follow me to the cabinet. I will accompany Elder Xu Ge to criticize the reds there tonight."

"Yes!" The eunuch's personal entourage is usually a fourth-rank eunuch, so the eunuch's joyful tone changed, and the tone of his answer was an octave higher than usual, and his voice immediately shivered after the answer. Now, he knew that he would never be able to make this high note again in his life!

The others were still kneeling: "Go, ancestor!"

With eyes of surprise, joy, envy and jealousy, the eunuch who was promoted to personal valet followed Chen Hong out of the duty room.
