The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 826 Do I have to teach at night?
He took a good bath that night. He hadn't seen his wife for so long, and wanted to put his arms around Gu Hengbo to have a good rest. Unexpectedly, after taking a bath, he heard from the only old servant in the family that Gu Hengbo had been called into the palace. return.

"Why is she going to the palace?" Gong Dingzi was dumbfounded.

The old servant said, after you were imprisoned, my lord, Madam and Lord Zhou Zhong searched for someone to rescue you everywhere, as if they had followed the path of a great man in the palace, and with the help of noble people in the palace, they finally released you, my lord, and regained your official position .

Gong Dingzi swiped, and his face turned red at the time, but he still couldn't believe it now, and he didn't know what Gu Hengbo was doing in the palace or who he had met.

But he still slept soundly that night, because home was much better than prison.

Gu Hengbo didn't come back early the next morning, and Gong Dingzi went to work with a lot of worries.

His official position was given by the military department. Li Zicheng was promoted to an official after he entered Beijing, but after Ding Yi entered Beijing, he was still regarded as an official of Ming Dynasty.

In the past, Bingke was only an eighth-rank official in Daming, but he was regarded as a personal servant of the emperor. His duty was to assist the emperor in handling military memorabilia, inspect the violations of the Ministry of War, Taipu Temple, and Luan Yiwei (Qing), and make suggestions for progress. Responsibility for remonstrance.

Their office is located in the Liuke Corridor of the Hall of Martial Arts, very close to the emperor.

But now the six subjects corridors have been dismantled by Ding Yi, and those below the fourth rank are still not in court. Their status has plummeted in these matters, and they can only deal with the affairs of the ministry, and they have no right to make suggestions.

But having said that, Gong Dingzi still has to go to the top.

Because the official treatment is very good now, he was assigned a suite in the capital, with an annual salary of 150 shi, and the court still took care of lunch, so of course he had to keep working, otherwise how would he support Gu Hengbo.

Before about 08:30 in the morning, he came to the Ministry of War early.

The Ministry of War built a house on the side for the Office of the Military Division.

There is one person in the military department, which is equivalent to the chief of the military department, and he is the seventh rank. Currently, Chen Mingxia is the only one who is also responsible for both household and military departments.

In addition, there is one person from the left and right of the military department of the seventh rank, which is equivalent to the deputy section chief.

There are also ten people in the matter, the clerks of the eighth rank, Gong Dingzi is this kind.

Gong Dingzi was on duty very early today. As soon as he entered the military department, everyone inside was stunned, and then everyone shouted.

"Master Gong."

"Hyo Seung"

Everyone shouted according to their relationship.

Gong Dingzi responded one by one, and immediately found that everyone had strange expressions, and some secretly smiled.

Many people used to call him Xiaosheng, but today they call him Lord Gong.

He was immediately annoyed, haven't you seen someone locked in a prison?During the Chongzhen period, those who could be imprisoned and released again were all virtuous and famous officials.

Of course, he is not easy to attack, so he returns to his position first.

After a while, his old rival, Bingke Zuowei Wu Zui came.

Wu Zui and Gong Dingzi are fellow villagers, both from Anwei Hefei, and they used to have a good relationship, but later they got married because of the Zuo Zuo's work for the Military Division, but on the surface, the two are still quite close.

Seeing Gong Dingzi coming out, Wu Zui was stunned for a moment, then walked over: "Drink some tonight?"

Gong Dingzi thought for a while and nodded.

At noon, the imperial court provides food, and they eat in the Ministry of War. They have their own cafeteria. The food is not very good, but most people still prefer to eat here, which will reduce the family's expenses after all.

When it was time to eat, Gong Dingzi even found that the officials of the Ministry of War were pointing at him, and many of them were laughing.

After lunch, he didn't stay at the Ministry of War and hurried home, but Gu Hengbo still didn't come back in the palace.

In the afternoon, he went to work listlessly, and did nothing all afternoon.

Only then did he realize that there were originally ten people in the event, but now there are only four, a total of six are missing.

After asking, I found out that the military department has nothing to do now, and they have been transferred to other departments of the Ministry of War, and the above is still being optimized and streamlined. It seems that many redundant officials will be laid off.

When Gong Dingzi heard this, his heart was in a panic and he was a little scared.

Before leaving get off work, Zhang Jinyan, Minister of the Ministry of War, suddenly invited him in person.

If it was in the Ming Dynasty, Gong Dingzi could not hang him too much, but now he hastened to run over with his tail clamped.

Zhang Jinyan asked him seriously what he had achieved and what awards he had received as a Jinshi for several years.

Gong Dingzi naturally didn’t have any farts, and then Zhang Jinyan’s tone became stricter. The imperial court wanted to reorganize the various ministries and cut down some unnecessary idle positions. Jinshi, is there any big boss who can help you.

It was obvious what he said, and Gong Dingzi felt extremely uncomfortable immediately.

For dinner, Wu Zui asked him to go to a restaurant, Wu Zui treated the guests and cooked some delicious dishes.

To his surprise, Wu Zui flattered him a bit and asked him to take care of him in the future. What's more, I heard that the Ministry of War will lay off a lot of people, because the new imperial examination in June this year will make room for those who pass the exam.

Gong Dingzi was furious. Isn't this killing the donkey? Before he took the throne, Ding Yi was very kind to the Beijing officials.

Now that the country is firmly established, are you going to replace your own people?
Sure enough, it was the emperor and the courtiers.

The two drank some wine, Wu Zui patted him on the shoulder at this time: "Sister-in-law often enters the palace, Xiaosheng, you will surely make a career in the sky, but please don't forget brother."

Gong Dingzi was furious, and almost jumped at the case: "What are you talking about, who often enters the palace?"

"Xiaosheng, don't you know?" Wu Zui didn't know whether he was really drunk or fake drunk: "I heard that the princess wants to learn how to play the flute, and she summoned her sister-in-law many times, and she even stayed in the palace—it seems——sister-in-law's blowing flute is famous all over the world. Well done." Wu Zui said this, with a wretched expression on his face, and Gong Dingzi immediately knew what was going on in his mind.

"You, tell me clearly? What's the matter?" He was furious.

Following Wu Zui's narration, Gong Dingzi knew that not long ago, someone in the palace had sent an imperial edict to Gu Hengbo, of course Gu Hengbo dared not refuse to go, it was the first time he went to stay overnight, and then every now and then, the palace often sent her an edict.

It was rumored that it was Princess Zhu Yu who wanted to learn to play the flute. She heard that Gu Hengbo was good at rhythm, so she called her to learn to please the emperor.

Of course, the meaning of this flute is completely different once it is passed on.

Wu Zui even used alcohol to mock Gong Dingzi for betraying his wife before he was released and returned to his post.

What's more, this time the Ministry of War has laid off staff, not only will you Gong Dingzi not be laid off, but you may also be promoted, which is really unreasonable.

Gong Dingzi was furious when he heard this, poured a glass of wine on his face, and went home angrily.
-
It was past two o'clock in the afternoon when Gu Hengbo returned home. She was kept in the palace by Zeng Ruan and Aimee Zhu, had lunch and rested and chatted for a while before she came back.

She is in a good mood today, because Zeng Rou also told her privately that this time, many people will be cut from various ministries of the imperial court, and some people will be rewarded. We will find an opportunity to speak to the Holy Majesty and say this for your husband. You must teach us the rhythm with your heart.

Of course, we don't guarantee whether the Holy Majesty will listen to us.

Gu Hengbo felt that teaching them the rhythm was still effective, it was necessary, and he worked harder.

However, something went wrong on the way back. Someone ran in a panic on the street, bumped into her, and pulled her clothes, which made her skirt a bit tattered. At that time, she was very angry, but the man ran fast. Did not catch.

Gu Hengbo walked back helplessly holding his skirt, and when he got near his home, he saw a lot of acquaintances pointing at him.

The place where they live is a new community specially built by Ding Yi for the capital. Each household has a small courtyard, three houses, including the courtyard, a total of 150 square meters, which is quite preferential treatment.

Surrounded by middle and lower-level capitals, everyone is acquaintances.

Gu Hengbo knew what they were talking about, and felt disapproving, because she felt that there was no need to explain, she was innocent.

She has been to the palace several times, but she has only seen Zeng Ruan and Zhu Yuxi, but never the emperor.

Squeak, she pushed open the courtyard door, and suddenly saw Gong Dingzi standing in the courtyard, looking into the well with a livid face, wondering what he was thinking.

"Husband doesn't need to be on duty today?" Gu Hengbo asked strangely.

Gong Dingzi heard the voice, turned around slowly, and asked in a deep voice, "Where did you go last night?"

"The princess sent someone to order, I dare not refuse to go."

"What are you doing so late?"

"Teach the princess to play the flute."

"You can't teach during the day, but you have to teach at night?" Gong Dingzi was furious and didn't say a word. Do you have to teach when I come back at night?Are you teaching, or blowing?what are you blowing
Gu Hengbo was inexplicable, but he also became a little ashamed and angry: "Husband, what are you thinking? Why don't you trust me?"

"How can I trust you? Why is your skirt like this?" Gong Dingzi pointed at her skirt and went into a fit.

Gu Hengbo took a look on his behalf, his face flushed: "I was hit by someone on the road just now, that person--"

"No need to explain." Gong Dingzi interrupted violently, his whole body trembling with anger, his face blushing and his neck thick, and he looked at Gu Hengbo in pain. In history, he was reluctant to die, but he was reluctant to part with such a beauty as Gu Hengbo, but now, this beauty , is about to leave him, Your Majesty took a fancy to her, and slept with her again, how dare I argue with His Majesty, Gong Dingzi had already thought clearly just now, before Gu Hengbo came back, thinking about the words of Zhang Jinyan, Minister of the Ministry of War, in his mind Turning quickly, took a deep breath: "Let's make up."

"What?" Gu Hengbo stared at him in disbelief, unable to believe it.

"It's good to get together and get away, and I don't want to embarrass everyone too much. The neighbors nearby are all watching the joke." Gong Dingzi tried his best to calm down his anger: "Tomorrow we will be divorced."

"I don't." Gu Hengbo cried angrily, and was about to rush forward.

"Are you trying to force me to death?" Gong Dingzi made a gesture and came to the well.

"If you dance, I would rather dance with you." Gu Hengbo was still deeply affectionate, but he didn't expect Gong Dingzi to become like this.

Gong Ding is in a hurry, I don't want to be laid off, 180 stone grains a year and this yard hut are not good?

Can Jinyiwei Prison still enter?
"You treat me sincerely?" Gong Dingzi had to say when he saw Gu Hengbo's driving force.

"Don't you understand the concubine's heart? Why don't you trust the concubine?" Gu Hengbo cried.

"Then are you willing to do anything for me?" Gong Dingzi gritted his teeth.
