I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 53

Poker is something that Li Tian has played thousands of times, but he couldn't stand Queen Zhang and the others, so Li Tian played with the beauties all afternoon.

As the night approached, the rain gradually subsided. At the last moment of the sun setting, the misty sunset finally penetrated through layers of clouds and sprinkled pieces of golden light.

In the huge capital city, scavengers from all the districts seized the opportunity and mobilized their nests one after another to clean up the city's sewers that were blocked by the heavy rain.

And in the main hall of the household department yamen in Qianbulang, Director Huang of the household reform bureau is depressedly voicing bitterness to Xia Yuanji, the secretary of the household department.

Holding the thick stack of invitation cards in his hands, Huang Zhun shook his head and sighed:
"Old Xia, what do you think of this? Duke Yan Sheng, Marquis of Qingping, Bo Xing'an, Prefect of Shuntian, Admiral of Wang Gongchang. It's only been five days since the emperor's grand court meeting, and the invitations on my table are piled up. "

The old god Xia Yuanji was sipping hot tea, and said with a light smile when he heard this:
"The yamen of the Household Reform Bureau is now the favorite of the court. The emperor is determined to implement the law of household reform. Who doesn't want his younger generations to come in and make some achievements."

Huang Zhun also understood in his heart that this was human nature, but the overwhelming number of invitations really annoyed him, and he still had nowhere to vent his anger, so how could he say something was wrong when someone came to send an invitation?

"I understand what you said, Mr. Xia, but these people are too much, just take Xing Anbo as an example, he sent me ten invitations in five days.

How does this make others think of me? I, Huang Zhun, am just so arrogant?Don't even give face to the dignified uncle? "

Huang Zhun said with a depressed face, but Xia Yuanji put down the teacup in his hand, and said with a leisurely smile:

"I can't blame you, Zhong Chang, for this matter, it's because the emperor gave too much power to reform the bureau, the Jinwu Guard cleared the way, and the six subordinate officials dispatched them at will.

There is also the right to change the household registration. If the household reform method had not been effective, the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Sixth Division would have died admonishing them with their coffins. "

Huang Zhun nodded again and again, threw the thick stack of invitations in his hand to the table beside him, got up and bowed deeply:

"Old Xia whipped it in, and the words are right. The younger generation doesn't understand the world of officialdom, so I hope that Old Xia can teach me."

Xia Yuanji has noticed Huang Zhun's words and deeds for dozens of days.

In all fairness, Xia Yuanji had a pretty good impression of Huang Zhun, a young man, and couldn't bear to see Huang Zhun being delayed by these trivial matters, Xia Yuanji pondered a little:
"It's actually not difficult to solve this matter. You just need to record all the officials of the Household Reform Bureau into a book and post it outside the main hall of the Household Department. Those nobles and ministers will naturally dare not pester you after seeing it."

Huang Zhun was quick-witted, and immediately revealed a smile on his face:

"Mr. Xia's method is very clever. The officials of the Household Reform Bureau are basically painters and craftsmen. If there is a sudden abnormality, Dongchang will definitely report it to the emperor. With the prudence of those honorable ministers, they will never dare to send invitations over again." .”

"Not bad." Xia Yuanji slightly nodded and said:
"No matter how honorable and courtiers entrust you, you can accept it as much as you want. As for whether they dare to transfer their juniors to you, it depends on their courage."

"Thank you, Mr. Xia, for your enlightenment. This junior is going to sort out the roster of subordinates." Huang Zhun's depression was swept away from his brows, and he immediately stood up and bowed deeply.

In Kunning Palace, Li Tian was leaning on the rug to watch Queen Zhang and the others play cards.

Empress Zhang has a dignified appearance, and her three courts and five eyes are full of luxury and grandeur, and she even has an aura when playing cards.

"The three sisters are sorry, I am four and five!"

Throwing bombs at the beginning is really worthy of my queen.

Li Tian finally discovered that although Queen Zhang's skills are not very good, she is really lucky, because according to his observation, Queen Zhang will often start with the smallest cards first.

Sitting on the left of Empress Zhang is Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu was born in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.It shows that he is not decisive enough in playing cards. Li Tian has seen Concubine Shu secretly stomp her feet angrily in several games.

Sitting on Queen Zhang's right is Zhang Qinghuan. Zhang Qinghuan's hometown is Suzhou, which can be regarded as Jiangnan, but Zhang Qinghuan's father is the Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing.

I don't know if it was influenced by Zhang Yiliang, but Li Tian always felt that Zhang Qinghuan's brows were somewhat heroic, and that a woman disguised as a man should be able to charm a lot of women, Li Tian couldn't help but rubbed his chin and secretly thought.

Sitting between Zhang Qinghuan and Concubine Shu was Concubine Xu Hui, whom Li Tiantian favored not long ago. Thinking of the madness with Concubine Hui in the bath room of Luhua Palace that night, Li Tian only felt endless aftertaste. It would be great if he could do it again sometime. up.

Looking at the four beauties each with their own beauty, Li Tian suddenly thought of Tang Zhaoyi who was so impressed that day, recalling Tang Zhaoyi's weak figure supporting the willow, Li Tian was moved, waved to Jiang Bao, and said in a low voice:

"In two days, I will be able to practice the third form of Guyang. You secretly go to the Luhua Palace and arrange Tang Zhaoyi to begonia palace for me. Don't let the Queen know about it."

Jiang Bao smiled tacitly when he heard the words, and showed a bit of embarrassment on his face:

"Your Majesty, the empress is in command of the Six Palaces, and it is not easy to hide it from the empress, and besides the Haitang Palace is the Ewha Palace, so it is impossible for the empress Hui to not know."

"Well, that's it." Hearing Jiang Bao's words, Li Tian was thoughtful. It seems that hiding in the golden house in the palace is still a troublesome thing. Forget it, anyway, Tang Zhaoyi is the imperial concubine in name, and the queen and the others will know sooner or later. .

"Then don't hide it from the queen, you can do it."

"Old slave understands."

Quickly walking out of the Kunning Palace, Jiang Bao couldn't help but lament that Tang Zhaoyi is really lucky, to be able to make the emperor miss him all the time. Among the ten beauties he found for the emperor that day, only Concubine Xu Hui has been favored by the emperor until now.

Jiang Bao ran back and forth several times, Wang Fu became more and more anxious the more he watched, where is the agreed manager?Why is it that Jiang Bao is always on the job.

But at the moment the emperor was with all the concubines, Wang Fu didn't dare to disturb him, he could only rub his fingers fiercely, greeting Jiang Bao's eighteen generations of ancestors in his heart.

"The third ancestor, the urgent delivery of the Ministry of War."

A young eunuch held a memorial in both hands and looked at Wang Fudao with a smile on his face.

Urgent delivery from the Ministry of War?Wang Fu's heart tightened, but after seeing the small stamp of the station on the memorial, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, reached out to take the memorial, ran all the way to Li Tian's side, and said in a low voice:

"Your Majesty, the post of the Ministry of War has an urgent delivery."

"Who's here? Wang Quan or Li Min?" Hearing that it was an urgent delivery from the post station, Li Tian didn't bother to look at it himself, his eyes were still on the queen and the others, and asked casually.

Wang Fu heard the words and hurriedly opened the memorial: "Your Majesty, it is Mr. Wang Quan, the chief envoy of Nanzhili, and he has arrived at the post station of the Yantai Military Department outside Shuntian Mansion."

The imperial court stipulated that all officials of the third rank and above must submit a report in advance when entering Beijing, but when he heard that it was Wang Quan, Li Tian suddenly lost interest.
