Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 208 Yang Shen's Special Hobbies

Qin Shao has already guessed what Zhu Houzhao meant. This person actually already has an idea in his heart, but after all, he is weak and weak, so he can't be sure.

What is needed is the affirmation and encouragement of more people.

Thinking of this, he took out a pen and paper, and Zhang Cong consciously rubbed the ink aside.

...

After submitting his views on the Hami issue to Zhu Houzhao, Qin Shao didn't care about that matter anymore.

The current situation is not something they can control. All he can do is to make some efforts to avoid the tragedy as much as possible.

As for whether he can change the course of history, he really doesn't have that confidence.

After the letter was delivered, there was no sound.

Qin Shao didn't hear the discussion about the Hami issue in the court.

Instead, I heard that the emperor raised the issue of Jingcha again in the court.

Jingcha is to inspect and assess the officials in Beijing, which is equivalent to the final exam of students today, and it can be regarded as a kind of performance assessment.
Before Zhu Houzhao came to power, he basically inspected it once every ten years. When Ming Xiaozong was alive, he proposed to shorten the inspection period, but he fell ill and died in the second year.

In the fourth year of Zhengde, there was an audit, which was opposed by many people. Many officials wrote a letter against inspecting officials at any time.

Now that the annual inspection was proposed again, many people naturally opposed it. It is said that there were many discussions at the scene, and many people expressed their opposition, which caused Zhu Houzhao a headache.

This topic was discussed in Beijing.

Because Jinghua Tea House is a gathering place for many students and scholars, discussions on this issue in the tea house are also very lively.

"Eldest son, the emperor's move is a little risky. His strength is not enough..."

Zhang Cong said to Qin Shao with some worry in private.

"Maybe the emperor's purpose is not here, maybe it's just to make a fool of himself!"

Qin Shao consciously, with Zhu Houzhao's character, shouldn't raise the question of Jingcha at this moment.

Jingcha is not a small problem, but it is a problem that directly confronts many officials.

Even if it is mentioned, it should be after he arrives at Xuanfu.

Now Zhu Houzhao has no plans to go to Xuanfu.

"Are you talking nonsense?"

Zhang Cong was very surprised.

However, the more he got in touch with this eldest son, the more unfathomable he found that many things had been expected by him, and now Zhang Cong had to believe what he said.

"Just wait!"

"Eldest son, Mr. Zhang, tomorrow's tabloid has been rubbed out, do you want to have a look at it first?"

As soon as the two finished speaking, An Yongzhen walked in with a tabloid.

Nowadays, the circulation of "Jinghua Tabloid" is getting bigger and bigger.

They don't have to hire people to sell at all now.

Many shops and small merchants come directly to buy goods and sell them to earn the difference.

And now the manuscript fee for providing news and writing articles has also increased. Depending on the degree of popularity of the news, the manuscript fee varies according to the publication section.

Some articles are directly upgraded to 15 articles.

In fact, many small officials in the imperial court have also begun to provide manuscripts for tabloids to earn money.

The first article in today's tabloid is about Yang Shen.

The title is also extremely eye-catching "thriller":
"The great talent Yang Shen stole the neon clothes from Man Miao Pavilion, and Lian Chuner wept and begged for it back"

The article begins with the revelation of a brothel woman, Lian Chun'er, that Yang Shen stole her favorite neon clothes and never returned them!

Lian Chun'er asked people to go to Yang's Mansion to ask for it many times, but they didn't return it, so she got angry and directly appealed to the newspaper.

Qin Shao was surprised for a long while, how could there be such news?
"Isn't this edited? Our tabloids can report gossip, but it's too edited..."

Qin Shao said to the two people beside him who read the tabloids calmly.

Newspapers are used to deliver news, and they can be exaggerated appropriately, but the news must be authentic to a certain extent, otherwise it will lose its value.

"The eldest son may not know much about the gossip about Shangjing, and he is not familiar with Yang Shen. This matter is indeed true. We have confirmed it with Lian Chuner, and Yang Shen may indeed do this! He stole It’s not the first time women’s clothing has been worn!”

Zhang Cong laughed.

"What? Why did he steal those women's clothes? It's still a good match for his wife. Yang Shoufu's family is short of money?"

Qin Shao was speechless.

"Siming, you may not have paid attention to that Yang Shen, he is a wonderful person! He loves to dress himself up like a beautiful woman, and he often has a big wavy hairstyle with flowers on it, and wears neon clothes as thin as cicada's wings. Put on thick rouge and lipstick, let people carry it, and swagger through the market surrounded by many brothel girls."

"This person from Shangjing is already familiar with him! I think I'm very strange. I'd see him as a fool when I met him. Let's go visit you some other day and you'll know!"

An Yongzhen laughed loudly.

Depend on!
Then Yang Shen is such a person!

Isn't that... isn't it a proper femininity?

Qin Shao thought of Yang Shen's famous line from ancient times "Rolling the Yangtze River to the east, the waves sweep away the heroes", and it really couldn't be connected with his flamboyant appearance.

He remembered that he went to the student banquet with Master Zhu, when he saw Yang Shen, the kid was dressed more gorgeously, and his face seemed to be powdered.

He didn't pay attention to it at the time, thinking that the guy's face hadn't been washed!
To be honest, this ancient man was more bold and unrestrained than his previous life.

In the previous life, this kind of transvestism was easily regarded as a neurosis.

Unless you have a strong mind, most people would not dare to dress like that on the street.

When returning home at night, Qin Shao felt a little awkward when he saw Han Jinrong.

I thought if this girl hadn't followed me, if she married that Yang Shen, she didn't know what it would be like to face a man in tulle, rouge, and flowers at night.

"Master, why do you keep looking at me? What's wrong with me?"

When Han Jinrong first looked at Qin Shao and herself, she was a little shy.

But following his eyes, I felt very weird.

"No...nothing!"

Qin Shao quickly moved his eyes away.

"By the way, how is your mother's place? Are you feeling better?"

These days, Qin Shao didn't go to Mrs. Han's place because he was busy.

"The body has improved a lot. I asked my sister-in-law to persuade my mother to change to a bright room. She may be in a better mood now, and her body is much better than before."

Han Jinrong is very satisfied with the current situation.

She also doesn't want to meet the second master Han, as long as she can see her mother.

Ever since Master Qin threatened his father last time, and now Han Jinrong went to Han's house to meet his mother, Second Master Han stayed away and did not say hello to her.

He has a guilty conscience, as long as Han Jinrong doesn't deliberately come to find trouble, but insists on asking him to reason, he will be Amitabha.

"Master! Master Wang!"

Qin Shao was talking to Han Jinrong when Wang Yin came over.

Qin Shao knew that Wang Yin's master Wang should be Wang Tu.

This person has always been in the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. Before, he was worried about his acquaintance with the emperor, but after understanding the situation, he was relieved.

What are you doing here so late today?
Qin Shao hurried out of Han Jinrong's room, and as soon as he arrived at the courtyard, he saw people waiting in the study.

Not only Wang Tu, but Wang Yun also came.

"Eldest son!"

"Eldest son!"

The two came up to say hello.

"Why are you here so late? What's the matter?"

Qin Shao stepped forward and asked in surprise.

"Ziming, this kid... this kid has caused trouble!"

Wang Tu, who has always been steady and calm when things happen, said with some excitement, his beard shaking.

Wang Yun lowered his head, as if he had done something wrong.
