Ning Boyang looked at me. When I first came in, I felt that this place was shabby. After looking carefully, I saw that there was really nothing. It could be seen that the life of the owner of this house was not easy. I felt a little pity in my heart. Maybe I would always meet him. It must be because of the rich and powerful people, and this Master Yang looked like a weak scholar. He nodded immediately and said: "Okay, since Master Yang knows why we are here, we won't make it difficult for you. Let's go to the study and wait for you. !”
With that said, only Ning Boyang was left by his side, and the others withdrew. I walked into the study room and found that it was very small, but it was full of books. There was also a painting hanging on the wall. It was a birthday girl giving peaches. It was very ordinary. I was very suspicious. Yang Hong must have been a scholar. Through How could an official who took the imperial examination hang such a painting? The desk was also piled with books and pens. I saw a piece of paper filled with words, which seemed to be unfinished. The handwriting was strong and powerful.
When I read what was written, I was surprised to find that the prescription was actually a tonic prescription, but the medicinal materials were not expensive ginseng and deer antlers, but were replaced by ordinary vegetables.
It was funny in my heart. Ning Boyang thought I found something important and came over quickly. I showed him the list. He frowned and said, "Is this a recipe?" I couldn't help laughing and said, "This is a prescription. For example, radish is refreshing and ginger is pungent!" Ning Boyang curled his lips and said, "I forgot, you used to be a doctor!"
Not long after, Yang Hong came in neatly dressed and said: "Two adults, we can go!" I was very confused about everything here, so I couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Yang, are you prescribing a prescription?" Yang Hong said: "Exit The official had an eighty-year-old mother, who was supposed to live a long life with her son. However, the official's family was poor, and he was worried about his mother's health, so he found some medical books, studied them by himself, and used these things that he could usually buy, seasoned them well, and gave them to his mother. Take.”
I nodded and said, "I have long heard that Mr. Yang is a filial son. When I saw him today, he really lived up to his reputation!" Yang Hong waved his hand and said, "My mother has suffered too much in her life. As a son, you should respect your mother. This is a matter of course. , filial sons and great grandchildren are all given by outsiders and have nothing to do with me."
After hearing this, Ning Boyang sneered: "Mr. Yang, the crime you committed will probably involve your old mother and family. Since you have such filial piety, why do you do this?"
Yang Hong laughed and said: "There is a way in heaven, and the sun and moon travel back and forth. There is righteousness in the world, and good and evil are self-righteous. Emperor Taizu learned from the eunuchs of the previous generations who were involved in politics, and had long established the rule that 'house servants are not allowed to interfere in politics'. Today's emperor You Chong, We were deceived by the Eight Tigers, but as ministers, we cannot sit idly by and do nothing. This is what ministers should do."
He said it quite generously. Seeing that it was getting late, I stopped him and said, "We are just ordered to take Mr. Yang to the Zhenfu Division. If you have anything to say, we can wait until we get there. Please!"
Yang Hong was not polite and strode out. He met Mrs. Yang head-on. She brought a bowl of ginger soup and said softly: "Ms. sir, please drink the ginger soup to warm yourself up. You are back on duty. You haven't returned yet." It’s time to eat!”
Yang Hong took the ginger soup and said, "Mother, can you drink it?"
"Mother is still resting!"
"Okay, when Mother wakes up, you must feed her. I won't say goodbye. If Mother asks, just tell her that I went on a business trip."
"Don't worry, sir, I will take care of mother and child. You should take care of yourself!" Mrs. Yang was affectionate, but her words were ordinary.
I sighed in my heart that Yang Hong's visit to Zhenfusi this time was probably going to be a disaster.
As soon as we left Yang's house, many neighbors on the street popped up to watch. Yang Hong walked forward with his head held high, and Mrs. Yang followed behind. Yang Hong put it on, and I waved my hand to stop him: "These are unnecessary." Yang Hong glanced at me and nodded slightly. At this time, two children ran up from behind, hugged Yang Hong, and shouted: Father!
It turned out to be Yang Hong's son and daughter, both about ten years old. Their voices were mixed with crying, which made people feel a little unbearable. Yang Hong stroked the children's heads and said slowly: "Hua'er, Qing'er, father." Go to the Yamen and do some official business. Don't do this!" The older Hua'er said: "Father, you are lying. In the past, you would always go out alone. There are so many uncles here today. Something must have happened. You want to Take care of yourself!" Yang Hong laughed and said: "My dear father, you are also a grown-up child. When father is not at home, help your mother with housework, take care of your younger brother, and be filial to your grandma!"
Mrs. Yang came over, held the two children, and said: "Mr., please don't worry, I will take good care of them. You, please take care of yourself. I will visit you in a few days." Yang Hong nodded, Mrs. Yang He looked at me again, bowed deeply and said, "This gentleman, please take more care of my husband-in-law!"
I didn't speak, just nodded, then looked at the time and said: "Let's go!" Xia Yuchun ran over and said: "Master Qianhu, according to regulations, his house needs to be raided!" Ning Boyang, not far away, also rushed towards me Nodding, I waved my hand and said, "My family has only four walls, what else can we copy? Go back!"
Xia Yuchun said loudly: Yes! Someone had already led the horse. I got on the horse and looked at the people around me. I felt unspeakably upset. I quickly glanced at the crowd, only to see Brother Ping Liu and Shu Er standing there and watching!
As we expected, the courtiers who came in high spirits found something wrong with the atmosphere as soon as they came to the morning court. Not only were there many more guards in the palace, but all the officials were blocked from Fengtian Gate, saying that an imperial edict had been read out. . Everyone was talking a lot, and their eyes were on the three cabinet ministers and Han Wen, the minister of household affairs. Xie Qian signaled everyone to calm down. He felt that there would be no changes with the Supervisor of Ceremonies inside, but Li Dongyang had a sad face and felt vaguely uneasy. Soon, a young eunuch came out to announce the decree. It turned out that there was nothing to do today and the morning meeting was cancelled.
The officials were greatly disappointed, and their expectations for the whole night were in vain. How could they be willing to accept this? They all clamored to see the emperor. Xie Qian and others felt that the emperor was interested in protecting the Eight Tigers because of his long-term feelings. Therefore, the crowd was excited and wanted to see the emperor. At this time, a large number of Dongchang and Jinyiwei came to the crowd, surrounded by the newly dressed Eight Tigers. Liu Jin walked in front and said to Xie Qianhan: "Two adults, do you want our family to leave the capital?" Anyone with a discerning eye can see it. It turned out that this situation already meant that Liu Jin had taken control of the court, and Han Wen responded: "If the disaster is not eliminated, the world will be uneasy!"
Liu Jin laughed and said: "I really don't know who is the scourge of the Ming Dynasty. In this case, there is nothing our family can do." Then he ordered the young eunuch to read the imperial edict. In short, Wang Yue, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, and Fan Li, the royal eunuch, formed a clique for personal gain, colluded with hundreds of officials, interfered in the government affairs, went to Nanjing to guard the Xiaoling Mausoleum, and were temporarily escorted to the East Factory until the delivery was completed. They will set off on the same day without delay; the Minister of Household Affairs, Han, , to win over the ministers, confuse the public with lies, and slander the government. Yang Hong, the imperial eunuch, used the celestial phenomena to slander at will, and were all sent to the imperial prison for interrogation. Cabinet bachelors Xie Qian, Liu Jian, and Li Dongyang, as the heads of hundreds of officials, were deceived by the lies. , and blindly submitted a letter, which caused chaos in the imperial court. I thought that the late emperor had entrusted his lonely ministers to act cautiously on weekdays, and did not pursue the matter for the time being to see the consequences. The remaining officials were temporarily blinded and indiscriminately ordered the chief officers of each department to reprimand and teach him without pursuing any further investigation.
After hearing the imperial edict, all the officials were in an uproar. All eyes turned to the three pavilion elders. The indignant Xie Qian and Liu Jian immediately submitted their resignations and returned home. Li Dongyang and others also submitted their resignations one after another.
Liu Jin did not panic, and ordered someone to take out an imperial edict, agreeing to the resignation of Xie Qian, Liu Jian and others, but did not mention a word about Li Dongyang. At the same time, Jiao Fang was appointed as the cabinet bachelor. For the other officials, Liu Jin said with a smile but not a smile: "Since you are unwilling to listen to the chief officer, there is no need to rush back to your hometown. We follow the emperor's instructions. You are all ministers of the Ming Dynasty. You have worked hard on state affairs. It is really shameful for you to leave so easily." Xin, for the time being let Dongchang protect you and treat you with due courtesy, and then I will send you home safely!"
Then, before anyone could react, Liu Jin read out another edict and restored the west factory, with Gu Dayong as the factory owner, and the east factory as Ma Yongcheng. Liu Jin naturally supervised the affairs of the east and west factories, and he was the chief ceremonial supervisor. Eunuchs can be said to have great power.
I nodded in surprise. He was really smart, and I couldn't help but think how great it would be if he could help me. At the end of his sentence, he looked at me and couldn't help laughing and said: "Don't look at me like this, I look at me every day." Organize documents, certainly know a lot of things.”
I thought to myself: "If I believed it, there would be no
