Come to Daming with military supplies

Yingzong finally left with Empress Qian and all the ministers.

It can be seen that neither Empress Qian nor the ministers seem to have fun.In this regard, Yingzong expressed very generously that everyone can come to play frequently when they are free in the future. This reminds everyone that Shenxianju has opened in the capital and cannot escape. You can come anytime you want. This is one by one. Satisfied to leave.

And when everyone left, they all received an exquisite gift, which was a box of four exquisite transparent glasses.

Before glass was a new thing, this gift was naturally regarded as a treasure, but everyone who received the gift was so beautiful from ear to ear, they praised Yang Xima for being too good at life and doing things.

Following the departure of the emperor and his ministers, a large number of businessmen with membership cards and the princes and young masters of the ministers' families flooded into the Immortal Residence.

Because their status was not high enough before, they naturally couldn't enter the Immortal Residence. Now that they have the opportunity, everyone wants to be the first. There are many entrants, but these people soon fell into the exquisite decoration of the Immortal Residence. One by one, like bumpkins entering the city, they looked around.Afterwards, as soon as the food and wine were served, and the appearance of new songs and new songs, these pockets were emptied in an instant, and they all sighed, money is really a fucking good thing.

The opening of Shenxianju was auspicious, and it cost a lot of money to entertain the emperor and ministers in the morning and noon, but at night, they made a lot of money, until the drum beat and the curfew was about to come, everyone didn't care. I was reluctant to leave, but at the same time, I also made an appointment to come here early tomorrow morning, drinking tea, chatting and watching programs here, which is really a great enjoyment in life.

Yang Chendong and his party rushed from Shenxianju to Yangjiazhuang, fifteen miles south of the city.Sixth Young Master and Qiaoyin were sitting in a carriage. After a busy day, Lady Xiang and Xue Lady were exhausted, so they naturally stayed in the Immortal Residence for the night, so that Qiaoyin could have Sixth Young Master alone, with a look of happiness on her face and happy.

"Master, a message from Xu Youzhen." The carriage stopped suddenly, Humang appeared, and put a bamboo tube into Yang Chendong's hand.

Reached out and pressed it, opened the mouth of the tube, took out the secret letter and looked at it, Yang Chendong put it back calmly, closed his eyes and thought for a while, then said: "Let him tell Zuodu Censor Wang Wen about the matter." Also, he should know what to do."

"Yes." After Humang agreed, he turned around and told his deputy Yang San, the deputy director of the Security Bureau, the order of the Sixth Young Master, who is the private member of the Yang family that Yang Chendong seldom sees now.

Wang Wenyi, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, a third-rank official of the imperial court.

It is different from other important ministers who spent a day playing, drinking and enjoying themselves. As censors, their duty is to supervise all officials. It sounds majestic, but there are too many helpless things.For example, they cannot participate in such beneficial things as the opening of Shenxianju.

Since it is the supervisory officials, how can it be integrated with the officials?There must be a difference.This makes people who stand in the position of censor generally relatively poor.

Wang Wenyi is standing in such a position. The difference from everyone else is that his life is quite easy. Not to mention anything else, he has married as many as seven concubines. come here?It was all given by his father-in-law.

Father Weng is a general term for some spineless, villainous people in the imperial court, or Wang Zhen, who is in control of the power.

Chapter 1 See also impeachment

To be called a father is to be subordinated to others. It is precisely because of taking refuge in Wang Zhen and gaining appreciation that high officials can be seated, horses can be ridden, and wives and concubines can even gather in groups.

He was assigned to the post of Zuodu Censor, in order to control the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so as to prevent someone from suddenly being unfavorable to Wang Zhen, which made him unable to do corruption in the open like other courtiers , but there are still silver flowers.

After going to court, he stayed at home with nothing to do, which made Wang Wenyi full of energy. At this time, it was getting dark, and he was admiring flowers in the courtyard with a newly married concubine.The long follower next to him suddenly came to report that Xu Youzhen's experience had come.

"Please." It's important to visit late at night without asking. Wang Wenyi waved his hand and asked the maid to take the concubine down, then he got up and walked towards the main room.

In the main room, Xu Youzhen was pacing back and forth like ants on a hot pot. After hearing the noise, she turned around and saw Wang Wenyi coming, and immediately bowed with fists in her hands and said, "My lord, it's really important to disturb you late at night." I have to."

"But what happened?" Wang Wenyi pretended to be fine on the surface, but he was already a little vigilant in his heart.

"My lord, it's like this. Sun Qing, Dong Cunde, Lin Xiangfeng, and Yin Hong, four supervisory censors, plus Sichuan Taoist censor Shen You, have found the subordinate officials and asked me to join them in impeaching the prince and washing the horse Yang Chendong tomorrow morning. The official doesn't know what to do? So I came here to invite Lord Du Wang." Xu Youzhen said with a humble expression while observing Wang Wenyi's face.

"Impeach Yang Chendong? What's the reason?" Upon hearing about Yang Chendong, Wang Wen became much more serious.As Wang Zhen's confidant, how could he not know that the sixth young master of the Yang family is doing business with him now, and if something really happened, it would be bad for Father Weng.

"It is said that Yang Xima sent the membership card of Shenxianju to the homes of officials above the third rank in the capital, which is worth thousands of taels of silver." Xu Youzhen said very carefully.

After being bought by Yang Chendong last time, he made a double spring and had the opportunity to publicly impeach the Sixth Young Master in court. As expected, the matter was settled according to the previous plan.Since then, not only has he received a large sum of money from Yang Chendong, he has been promoted to a higher level, and he has also become a minister of integrity in the eyes of many people.Even Yu Qian, the left servant of the Ministry of War who took Wen Tianxiang as an example, publicly praised him more than once, saying that there should be more Xu Youzhen in the court, so as to ensure the cleanliness of officials.

For this reason, when Sun Qing, Dong Cunde and others were about to impeach Yang Chendong, they naturally found Xu Youzhen, which made Yang Chendong aware of the news immediately and pointed the problem to Wang Wenyi.

"Is there such a thing? If so, we can do what we should do." Hearing such a reason, Wang Wen was also stunned.If it was true, then based on this reason, Yang Chendong could really be embarrassed, but what he couldn't understand was why Xu Youzhen would disclose the matter to him in advance?The two had never met before.

Unable to understand Xu Youzhen's intentions, Wang Wenyi simply pretended to be stupid, pretending to be business-like.

Seeing Wang Wenyi's business-like face, Xu Youzhen secretly cursed in her heart for being a bitch and wanting to set up an archway, but she kept saying, "My lord Wang, I'm telling you the truth. The prince has respected him for a long time, if there is any opportunity to serve him, I will die as an official."

"Hehe, I got it. In this way, if I don't pass on the news to you, I can do whatever I should do." These words let Wang Wen also know Xu Youzhen's thoughts, and this person also wants to catch Wang Wen. Vibrate this line, no wonder it is so late, and you will come to pass the news.

Although he understood Xu Youzhen's meaning, Wang Wenyi's power was limited, and he didn't dare to make decisions for Wang Zhen, so he replied in this way, which meant to tell Xu Youzhen that I know your attitude towards Weng's father Yes, but I don't want to accept you, I also need to see what Wang Gonggong means.

Xu Youzhen is a fine person, so she naturally understood the meaning of the words, and she immediately had a look of joy on her face, "This will trouble Mr. Wang." As he spoke, he said in a low voice: "The lower official released the police at the gate of Mr. Wang's backyard." A box, inside is a little heart."

Nodding calmly, expressing that she knew, Xu Youzhen left the main room in satisfaction.Then Wang Wenyi called the housekeeper and asked him to carry the box in the backyard.Not long after that, he saw 2000 taels of silver neatly placed in the box.

The money was enough to cover his salary for several years, which made Wang Wen very happy. "Come on, change my official uniform, I'm going to see Father Weng."

The curfew has long been enforced in the capital, but for Wang Wenyi, who is an official to the third rank, it is still extremely convenient to move around, especially since he is still a member of Eunuch Wang Zhen. This is already an open matter, and naturally, no one Dare to stop his sedan chair.

It's just that he didn't know that in the darkness, there was a pair of eyes watching his every move. It wasn't until he entered the palace that the owner of those eyes left quietly.

In the morning court.

As Yingzong Zhu Qizhen was sitting on the dragon chair, all military and national affairs were pressing on him like a surging wave.

The good thing is that what was discussed at court this morning is all good things.

For example, the Deng Maoqi Rebellion in Fujian was basically over. Deng Maoqi was killed in the chaos, and his followers were killed, arrested, and fled.

Just after Kuang Ye, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, Wang Zuo, Minister of the Ministry of Finance, said that the potatoes are fully mature, and the next thing is about the distribution of seeds. If the emperor has no special requirements, he will have a good talk with Yang Xima next. The problem of seed distribution.

"I have no other requirements. Let the potatoes grow into a large scale as soon as possible, and prevent the potato seeds from leaking out. Sir, let Dongchang and Tieyiwei pay close attention to this matter." Yingzong Recalling the previous reminders from the ministers, he added now.

"The minister obeys the order."

"Old slave obeys the order."

Both Wang Zuo and Wang Zhen agreed one by one.Yingzong just nodded and said: "If there is anything else, let's play it together."

"The minister has his own play." The court shouted, and then Sun Qing, Dong Cunde, Xu Youzhen and other five censors all came out of the class and knelt down on the ground.

It has never been a good thing for the censor to come out.The ministers frowned slightly when they saw it, and even Yingzong was a little displeased.These censors are always afraid of chaos in the world, but whenever they have something to say, basically what happens will make him unhappy.But this is still their responsibility, and others can't blame anything.For this reason, he could only ask as calmly as possible, "What do you want to play, gentlemen?"

"Your majesty, the ministers impeached the prince to wash the horse Yang Chendong. Before the opening of Shenxianju, he sent membership cards to the homes of all the officials above the third grade in Beijing. The amount involved was as high as 10 taels." Sun Qing, the supervisory censor He knelt down and said loudly.

"Your Majesty, Yang Chendong is clearly buying people's hearts, please punish him." Supervisor Dong Cunde said.

"Your Majesty, this is a sign of forming a clique for personal gain. I ask the Emperor to issue an order to arrest the guilty minister Yang Chendong immediately, and issue a prison order to investigate this matter." Supervisor Lin Xiang kowtowed to the ground while telling the limelight.

"Emperor" Next, other censors also accused Yang Chendong one after another. From their mouths, it seemed that the crown prince was already a heinous person for washing horses.

Looking at the censors who were kneeling on the ground with their heads pounding garlic, Yingzong just felt his head grow big for a while. He really didn't understand, but he was just a loose official from the fifth rank. , Why is it so unpopular.What else is there to buy people's hearts, what is it to form a party for private interests, can it really be rebelled (rebelled)?

Yingzong was puzzled, but the other officials were outraged.

On the surface, Yang Chendong was accused of taking bribes, but they were the ones who accepted the bribes.This is simply a net that knocked down a whole bunch of people.As a result, all the officials above the third rank in the court turned pale.

Those with a bad temper could no longer suppress the anger in their hearts, and began to criticize: "When did Yang Xima give us money? It's just a membership card as a polite gift, but there is nothing in the membership card. There is no amount."

"Yes, there is only a card, but no amount, how can it be called bribery?"

A group of ministers began to refute several censors, which made Yingzong happy in the dragon chair.It's rare for me to see the imperial censor anger the ministers when he speaks. Usually, such things happen, and only a few of the courtiers involved refute that's all. Like today, almost more than half of the crowd It is very rare for a minister to object.

Yingzong regarded everything that happened in front of him as excitement, but some people did not think so. What they were thinking about was, why did Shenxianju open yesterday, and today someone went to trouble Yang Chendong, who did they offend this time?
