Blood from Daming

Chapter 301 Reinvigorated
Shopkeeper Zhang of "Wuji Rice Shop" cautiously hinted that he needed to ask Ms. Chen from Xiao Xue's Mansion to carefully assess the risk of reopening the Xue Family Grain Shop. Xue Rui's expression suddenly became angry, but after a while I am relieved, I no longer manage these shopkeepers, and I suddenly give them an order. Isn't this embarrassing for these shopkeepers? The interests of the neighbors in the neighborhood, it is indeed a bit ill-considered to make a hasty decision.

Xue Rui just asked the two shops of "Huimin Grain Store" and "Wuji Rice Shop" to be ready for opening. As for Ms. Chen, Xue Rui would go to say hello. After agreeing, he left in a hurry after listening to Patriarch Xue Rui nagging for a while.

As soon as the news that the Emperor Tianqi reactivated the Xue family came out, there was another quarrel in the capital. The common people at the bottom didn't have much to do with each other, but most of those who cared supported the Xue family, but it was not so unanimous among court officials. There are many people who are dissatisfied with the Xue family and even have deep hatred. Now the emperor reuses the Xue family and they jumped out to oppose it.

However, the officials who were dissatisfied with the Xue family were not all pimples. Knowing that the Xue family's comeback was the general trend, they kept silent, but those diehards who hated the Xue family still resolutely boycotted the Xue family. After only one short night, The impeachment also required reprocessing of the Xue family's memorials, and there were dozens of them.

These officials were soon notified by Ouchi that all court officials who impeached the Xue family went to the Meridian Gate to wait for orders. Most of the officials who impeached the Xue family ran towards the Meridian Gate happily because they had good deeds. Some officials and speculators who were too late to submit the memorial also flocked to the Meridian Gate to hand over the memorial to the eunuch guarding the Meridian Gate.

There were about 100 people in these two groups, and no one in the palace paid attention to them until it was almost noon at the Meridian Gate. Now everyone was a little bit impatient, and some people went to the cabinet not far away to inquire about the news. As soon as the officials left, they knew something was wrong, and the guards guarding the surroundings immediately stepped forward to block the way of these officials.

Now the Meridian Gate is in chaos. Seeing that the officials who wanted to leave were stopped by Jin Yiwei, other officials felt that something was wrong. Many officials flocked to the Meridian Gate in an attempt to escape from the Forbidden City. Now Jin Yiwei quit. Sternly reprimanded these officials to return to the Meridian Gate, but these officials were not fuel-efficient lights. Instead, they yelled at Jin Yiwei and wanted to leave in disorder, but Jin Yiwei didn't buy it at all, and immediately beat them with whips. Crying for father and mother, dragged on for a while and gave up the dispute when they couldn't bear it anymore, and the officials ran to the Meridian Gate again.

The officials gathered at the Meridian Gate realized that there might not be any good results today. For a while, everyone was panicked. Many people began to regret coming to this muddy water. The officials began to discuss countermeasures in small groups. It was almost noon, when a group of eunuchs came out from the palace gate.

The pair of eunuchs stood still in front of the Meridian Gate, and the officials who had been waiting for a long time looked at the eunuchs with horror. The leading eunuch coughed and said, "The emperor's oral order."

When the eunuch said this, the officials were silent and waited quietly for the eunuch to continue. The leading eunuch cleared his throat and said: "The emperor said, all the ministers are loyal to the affairs of the country, and they are always eager to share the worries of the court. I believe that the impeachment of Xue Yun The officials here are the pillars of the Ming Dynasty, I intend not to use Xue Yun to lead troops to Liaodong for the time being, but instead send all the ministers who are concerned about the country and the people to Liaodong to serve Daming."

These officials who have been standing at the Meridian Gate for a long time finally heard the emperor's remarks, and almost all the officials exploded. The emperor is unreasonable. There are civil servants who send lip service to fight. It is not obvious that they want to deceive people. Well, everyone is a nobleman with delicate skin and tender flesh, how could they go to Liaodong to work for their lives.

Now the officials are full of ugliness, some officials are crying and want to leave, some officials are kneeling at the Meridian Gate and weeping bitterly, begging the emperor to take back his orders, most of the officials are still muttering in small groups, There were also a small number of officials standing there alone, but no officials stood up and agreed to go to Liaodong to serve the court.

It is estimated that after half an hour, the crying officials were already tired, and the muttering officials probably had an idea. At this time, two eunuchs handed out dozens of memorials and followed them at the Meridian Gate. The memorials of the Emperor Apocalypse were put together, and the eunuch who had first passed on the Emperor Tianqi's oral order stood up again.

The eunuch who delivered the order said: "The emperor said, although you are loyal and commendable, I think that the six ministries and five temples of the imperial court cannot do without the ministers and workers. If you are willing to return to your official position, you can take back the memorial and go back to work hard. Officials who continue to report I will definitely let him replace Xue Yun and go to Liaodong to do his best for the court."

The officials in front of the Meridian Gate heard Emperor Tianqi's oral order and knew that the holy will was difficult, and they all started to retreat, joking that they went to Liaodong, and they really didn't know how they would die. Although it is important to bring down Xue Yun, no matter how important it is, there is no such thing as their own. Life is important, everyone is an official for glory and wealth, there is no need to fight to the death with Xue Yun, so some officials have the cheek to go to the eunuch to get back their memorial.

Everyone has a herd mentality. Once someone takes the lead to get back his memorial, the others let go of the burden in their hearts, so they go forward to look for their memorial. Soon these officials crowded in front of the memorial table. These officials not only insulted each other, but in serious cases, some officials even had body language, but getting back their own memorial is a big deal, so everyone's goal is still the memorial on that table.

After a while, the memorials on the table were taken away, but there were still a few officials walking around the table, probably looking for their own memorials, and these people read the remaining memorials. After reading it over and over, including in the underground, I still didn't have my own memorial, so I wailed at other officials with a mournful face, asking if any official had taken the wrong memorial, and begged the official who took the memorial to return it.

But at the end of the crying, no one answered. These officials were terrified, and they had no choice but to ask the eunuch who delivered the oral order to make a testimony before the emperor, proving that they did not want to participate in Xue Yun. The ugly performance can completely embarrass the officials of Ming Dynasty.

The eunuch who delivered the order asked these officials to stand aside, picked up the remaining four memorials on the table, and read the names of the presenters next to the memorials, but no one agreed after reading the names of the four people. Only then did they realize that none of these four people came to the Meridian Gate, the eunuch who delivered the order shook his head and sighed, expressing deep regret for not finding officials to go to Liaodong for the emperor.

The eunuch who delivered the order waved his hand to signal Jin Yiwei to let go of the exit. The officials saw that Jin Yiwei gave way to the escape route, so they all ran away. After a while, they ran cleanly, but a few boots fell on the ground, and the rest Seeing that everyone had left, the officials became even more afraid and knelt down to the eunuch.

The eunuch who passed the word of mouth looked at these officials who were full of righteousness just now, and now he immediately turned into a pitiful look for Basha, so the eunuch who passed the word of mouth ordered his subordinates to write down the names of these officials, as a proof for them, that he despised Seeing the officials kneeling in front of them, they walked towards the palace without looking back.

Emperor Tianqi, who was in the imperial craftsman's room, heard a report from his eunuchs that none of the officials voluntarily went to Liaodong for business, which made Emperor Tianqi so angry that he had no idea that these officials, who were always serving others as their own responsibility, would always be righteous and strict. The gentlemen who accused others turned out to be a group of hypocrites who were greedy for life and afraid of death. Emperor Tianqi was so angry that he wanted to crush these hypocrites to ashes to relieve his hatred.

At this time, the Xue Mansion of Chongwenmen brought in a green cloth sedan chair. Such a green cloth sedan chair carried by two people is extremely common in the capital, but the people in the sedan chair are not so ordinary. Although Ms. Chen is only the concubine of Xue Yun in the Xue family, the dark power in her hands cannot be humiliated even by Dongchang and Jinyiwei.

Accompanying the green cloth sedan chair into the city were the youngest Mao and several of Xue Zhuang's cronies, who directly carried the green cloth sedan chair into the third courtyard of Xue's mansion. Miss Chen was standing in front of the inner courtyard of her grandfather Xue Rui. After getting off the sedan chair, he entered the inner courtyard under the guidance of his concubine Ji who was waiting in front of his grandfather. When Miss Chen entered the living room, his grandfather Xue Rui was already waiting there.

Only grandfather Xue Rui and Ms. Chen were left in the living room. Grandfather Xue Rui asked: "Granddaughter-in-law, the imperial court's appointments and rewards have all come down. The Xue family is safe and sound this time. Do you want to get Xue Rui out as soon as possible?" Home business has resumed."

Ms. Chen received a report from the youngest Mao last night, knowing that the Xue family had the emperor's support and regained its status as the leader of the Daming family. However, the loss of the Xue family's housing business in the capital cannot be made up for by money. It's not something that will happen for a while, and the forces that hate the Xue family have not been affected in the slightest. I really don't know when they will be plotted against by these enemies.

Last night, Ms. Chen called Xue Zhuang's leaders to hold an emergency meeting. This meeting was a run-in between Xue Zhuang and Xiao Xue's mansion in the capital. The unhappiness with the leader of Xuezhuang was caused by the increase of troops for Xue Polu.

Fourth Uncle Xue of Xuezhuang thought that a group of recruits should be organized as soon as possible to support Xue Er and Xue Polu's troops. Ms. Chen believed that the Liaodong war situation had little to do with Xue's family, so she only agreed to send a batch of gunpowder, weapons and other materials to Xue Polu's troops. To deal with the war in Liaodong, you can't be led by the nose by the court, and you will be sold by the court to count the money.

Fourth Uncle Xue was only concerned about the safety of Xue Polu’s tribe, and insisted on adding troops to Xue Polu’s tribe. Ms. Chen explained to Uncle Xue how powerful it was, but Fourth Uncle Xue only insisted on one thing, which was to increase troops in Liaodong. The fight with Xue's family has nothing to do with the imperial court, let alone the order to increase troops in Liaodong was personally ordered by the young master.
