Tang Bohu Marries Qiuxiang

Chapter 271 The Controversy of the Widow Continues ([-])

The porter heard what he said and went to report it, and when he came back for a cup of tea, he said, "Go in."

"Thank you." Jiao Fang cupped her hands.

Walking into the unique Tangzhuang, Jiao Fang is really interested in the unique and pleasing architecture here.

"The majestic Huagaidian scholar, why did you enter my house as if you wanted to be a thief?" Tang Bohu sat on the lawn at home with a smile on his face.

"I'm not a thief." Jiao Fang said disdainfully.

"You are not a thief, but you still look around. If you are not a bachelor, I really want to have the guards at home arrest you." Tang Bohu was half lying on the lawn.

"Master Tang really likes to joke." Jiao Fang stepped forward.

"Sit down." Tang Bohu pointed to the reclining chair beside him and told Jiao Fang to sit down.

Sit on a recliner.Jiao Fang suddenly felt that the reclining chair was very comfortable, with soft spots that stretched her muscles and bones, "Master Tang really knows how to enjoy it."

"Life has been rushing for dozens of years. If you don't enjoy it now, when will you wait?" Tang Bohu said with a smile: "Scholar Jiao Fang didn't come here just to enjoy it."

"North Korea..."

"Wait!" Tang Bohu interrupted Jiao Fang and said, "Come and serve wine."

A few servants poured wine for Jiao Fang and Tang Bohu with wine jugs. After asking about the aroma of the wine, Jiao Fang knew that it was not ordinary. She took a sip from the wine glass and said, "What a strong wine, what kind of wine is this?" .”

"This is called Erguotou." Tang Bohu said with a smile: "Every time a pot of wine is boiled, when the wine is steamed, the first pot of wine that flows out is called Jiutou, which is very strong. People dare to drink it, because it has about the same alcohol content, and the wine will be much milder after the first pot."

"The strength of the second pot of wine is just right, so the scholar Jiao Fang is now drinking the second pot of wine. This wine is called Erguotou by the folks."

Tang Bohu savored the aroma of the wine, "No more, no less, if there is too much, just pour it out, if there is too little, you won't be full."

"I really want to live the same life as you." Jiao Fang sighed.

"Thousands of people have hated people since ancient times, but now it is raining on Erguotou." Tang Bohu took a sip.

"Good wine, good wine." Jiao Fang nodded, "It's been a long time since I've had this kind of wine."

Tang Bohu nodded and said, "Let's talk about it now, what are the grand scholars asking for and asking for?"

"Your Majesty hasn't come to court for seven days." Jiao Fang continued: "After the new emperor ascended the throne, Yang Tinghe became a cabinet scholar, and I replaced Yang Tinghe. Noisy, Liu Jin is acting as a minion for a tiger! Chaos in the court has already appeared."

"Here's a roast chicken!" Tang Bohu said to the boy next to him, "Where are some food to go with the wine?"

"Tang Bohu." Jiao Fang said with a serious face, "I'm not here to drink and eat meat, I'm here to tell you about your Liu Jin."

"What's wrong with Liu Jin?" Tang Bohu bit a piece of pork head, "Could it be that Eunuch Liu went shopping in a brothel?"

"I..." Jiao Fang hesitated to speak.

"Wow, is it true or not?" Tang Bohu squinted his eyes and said, "Eunuch Liu is not an adulterer. The eunuch's going to the brothel is really shocking. It's unreasonable!"

"Tang Bohu..." The more Jiao Fang listened, the more he could not take it anymore, "Can you stop pretending to be confused?"

"I'm not confused." Tang Bohu pointed to his wine glass and said, "Look at me, I haven't even drank this glass of wine. How can I be confused? I don't drink so little!"

"Are you really keeping your ears to the matter in the court?" Jiao Fang said.

Tang Bohu grinned, "Lord Jiao Fang, you are a civil servant, and you are naturally involved in the important affairs of the court, but it is different, I am just a commander of the Jinyi Guards, monitoring the officials, protecting the emperor, arresting people and killing people. It's related, but what does this matter in court have to do with me."

Jiao Fang remained silent, not knowing what to say.

Tang Bohu went on to say: "Scholar Jiao Fang, if Jin Yiwei intervenes in the government, then the Ming Dynasty's officials will be messed up! At a young age, I, Tang Bohu, meddle in other people's business, but at an older age, I say that I, Tang Bohu, have meddled into the court. This is not a dog." Take the mouse and worry about it!"

"Scholar Jiao, do you think it makes sense?"

Jiao Fang looked at Tang Bohu coldly: "It doesn't make sense that the old man is here today, please leave!"

"No!" Tang Bohu waved his hand.

After Jiao Fang left, Zhong Ling'er came from the backyard and said in a low voice, "Everything has been settled, someone in the court has exerted force, and the restoration of the Zhang family's title is already settled."

"En!" Tang Bohu nodded.

"It's Jiao Fang who just came." Zhong Ling'er sat beside Tang Bohu.

"The children are all asleep?" Tang Bohu asked.

Zhong Ling'er nodded, "Recently there has been a lot of complaints from the court, but you can really hold your breath, aren't you afraid that Liu Jin will make trouble?"

"Come back to trouble, today, I can't turn it over." Tang Bohu said leisurely: "It's just a eunuch, what else can I do! Although Zhu Houzhao is playing around, he is not a foolish king, he is just a bit naughty. Liu Jin is not what? Ding, a eunuch who has been oppressed for so many years, finally has a bright future, what will he do when he has power."

"He will ask for power, more power." Zhong Ling'er replied decisively.

Tang Bohu nodded, "I kind of miss He Ding, an old fox, and I don't know what he's doing now."

"Liu Jin doesn't just want power, right?" Zhong Ling'er continued: "The eunuch is a servant of the Tian family, even if Liu Jin is given more power, it is still a matter for the emperor to bring down Liu Jin."

"You're right." Tang Bohu also nodded, feeling the drink in his throat, "So Liu Jin can't turn the sky! But Liu Jin doesn't just want power, except power is nothing more than women and money. Women are to eunuchs I don’t need it anymore, but money is useful, and with money, Liu Jin won’t have to worry about it for the rest of his life.”

Watching Tang Bohu carefully, Zhong Ling'er said softly: "You blindly avoid the incidents in the court, but you have seen the situation clearly in the dark."

"If Liu Jin blindly wants power and money, then Liu Jin will not be far from perishing. The more he wants, the faster he will die." Tang Bohu swayed the wine in his glass leisurely, "Actually, I don't want to stand in front of Liu Jin. On the other side, I don't want to stand on the side of the courtiers, let's send people to bite each other, Liu Jin is a good knife, maybe whoever pushes Liu Jin into a hurry will chop off a few high-ranking officials, saying that Liu Jin is not a good person, How many good people are there in the court of Ming Dynasty?"

"Sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight, you have to sit and reap the benefits." Zhong Ling'er gave Tang Bohu a pretty look, "You are really bad."

Lying on the chair enjoying himself, Tang Bohu thought about when he would make the mortar, when Su San came over in embarrassment, and said aggrievedly: "My lord, Niu Er hit me!"
