Sometimes the palace is sunny

"The ladies are crazy."

Zhang Ding, the servant of the household department, is not the only one saying this.

There are many dignitaries outside the gate of Xi'an, and Confucian scholars live in Dongsi Hutong.

Jin Yiwei smashed open the doors of almost every family and household and took people away.

In the cold wind, female officials in red dresses stood in front of those people's doors with flower crowns on their heads. How could these ministers endure such humiliation? stand there.

Li Congyuan was urgently summoned by His Majesty, and the person who sent the order was Yiji, the chief inspector of ceremonies. He didn't need to change his official uniform, and he didn't need to take an official sedan chair.

The carriage didn't enter the palace either, instead it went all the way south and then east.

Passing by Banqiao Hutong, Li Congyuan heard a burst of crying and cursing.

He opened the curtain of the car a crack, and couldn't help but jump in his heart.

Qian Zhaojing, the Minister of Rites, was escorted out by a team of Jin Yiwei.

The person who took the lead standing in front of the gate of Qian Mansion was Sheng Ling'er who had smashed the sixth subject.

"Mr. Sheng, it's just a hen who walked up to the stage. She really thinks she can stand shoulder to shoulder with the disciples of saints? Today you captured my husband-in-law. In the future, I will let you..."

The person who shouted was Qian Zhaojing's wife, Li Shi. Li Congyuan probably remembered that she was the daughter of the Guangdong chief envoy who had been in office for a long time. In addition to supporting him all the way, his father-in-law also contributed a lot.

The carriage slowed down at some point, Yiji glanced at the lightly moving curtain, and waved to the others.

"Ma'am, you don't have to be like this. I believe that my words and deeds are upright, and I have never abandoned the public for personal reasons. Your Majesty is wise, and I will definitely give me justice. Master Sheng, I know that after you became a female official, you will regard the men of the world as enemies." , It really doesn’t need to be like this, you and I are officials in the same dynasty, I think that the occasional dispute between you and me is due to political differences, and there is really no need to involve other things.”

Sheng Ling'er was wearing a golden streamer and lying rabbit outside the corolla, plus a dazzling red dress, which was the most fashionable dress in Yanjing City this New Year, but it was a pity that the north wind was blowing on this street, the smoke and dust were lonely, and money The joyful lights in the house seemed to have faded, which made her the only one with a little bit of New Year's spirit in this big first month.

She was enjoying the lanterns with a few colleagues last night, and when the fire in the Ji Palace was on fire, they were sitting in the wine shop at the west end of Gulou Street, chatting and joking. It was Zhao Xueshi who sent someone to find them and sent them back to the Sixth Division under the porch.

From then until now, she hasn't even closed her eyes.

Qian Zhaojing was the highest-ranked official among all the people she arrested.

Listening to his "generous speech", Sheng Ling'er lowered her eyes and smiled coolly.

"Qian Shilang, just now, your wife called me a hen who walked up to the stage."

Qian Zhaojing paused slightly, but before he could say anything, his face suddenly felt pain.

It was Sheng Ling'er who slapped him across the face.

The sound is very loud.

Li's eyes were about to burst, and he almost rushed up to fight Sheng Ling'er, but was stopped by Jin Yiwei.

With his hands bound, Qian Zhaojing staggered a few steps back and almost fell to the ground. He fixed his eyes on Sheng Ling'er, but saw Sheng Ling'er looking at his wife.

Then, she looked at herself again.

Qian Zhaojing couldn't help but took another half step back.

"Qian Shilang, you don't need to be so alarmed. Your wife just scolded me while hiding behind the stage. A slap in the face is enough."

Mrs. Li has tied her honor, favor and wealth to her husband all these years, so how can she bear her husband being humiliated?She yelled loudly:

"Bitch, you are only a mere sixth-rank official, how dare you beat the court servant!"

Sheng Ling'er raised her eyebrows and smiled, took a step forward, and slapped Qian Zhaojing on the face again.

Qian Zhaojing was slender and gentle, he was talented and famous at a young age, his career went smoothly, his Yue family helped him, his career went smoothly, he never dreamed that he would be slapped like this.

"Qian Shilang, the loyal wife you raise behind the scenes is naturally not worth letting me do it myself, but you, it's different."

After Sheng Ling'er finished speaking, she chuckled lightly.

This laugh made Qian Zhaojing, who was dizzy from the beating, startled again.

He was a little suspicious that Sheng Ling'er slapped him twice in such a crazy way, not because of what Li Shi said, but because she already knew that she had handled the arson of Duanji Hall.

Mrs. Li wanted to scold her again, but Qian Zhaojing looked at her, and was no longer as surprised as before:

"To shut up!"

Sheng Ling'er at the side took out a handkerchief and wiped her hands carefully, then threw the plain handkerchief on the ground.

The carriage parked beside the road moved again, and Li Congyuan gently lowered the curtain.

After walking forward for a while, he heard someone whispering beside the car.

"Guard Fang, should we go and talk to our brothers and follow those female officials to do things, at least try to persuade them? Don't let them go crazy like this, it's really not like it!"

"No need."

Li Congyuan frowned.

The female officials humiliated the officials, and they seemed to be desperate. If Jinyiwei and the East and West Factory stood by and watched, they would just sit and wait for the female officials and the officials to fight with each other.

With such thoughts in his heart, Li Congyuan heard Yiji say unhurriedly:

"Whether it's the empress or the emperor, it must be biased towards the female officials. Then Qian Zhaojing received these two slaps in the public. How do you know that Sheng Guanshi didn't slap his accomplices on purpose? Besides Now, why are the female officials crazy? There are always fights between the censors and the Metropolitan Procuratorate several times a month in the corridor of the Sixth Division. How come no one said that those censors are crazy? The most holy place was burned down, think about it, if the Imperial College and the Confucian Temple were burned, how many literati in the world would not be crazy?"

The person who just spoke said yes again and again.

Li Congyuan heard another chicken say:

"In the final analysis, these female officials are not fierce enough. How can they compare to Jin Yiwei, who is used to tricks? If you come to the door and are scolded by the family members of the prisoner, I am afraid that the prisoner will drag a piece of paper when he enters the Beizhen Fusi." Broken leg. It's just that I'm used to women with low brows and pleasing eyes, and you won't be able to see them once they get angry."

After a few reprimands, Yiji said again:
"The papers sent by the censors in the past few days have passed the supervisor of ceremonies. You should take a good look at them and be careful."

Li Congyuan knew that some of these words were meant for himself, so he sighed silently in his heart.

The car turned south and exited Zhengyang Gate, then turned back to the west, turned several times, and finally stopped in front of a house.

After getting off the carriage, Li Congyuan was startled.

Yes, Shen Zhai.

As soon as Yiji lured him in, Li Congyuan saw several women dressed as wives and concubines gathering together and talking about something, and he didn't shy away from seeing them, outsiders.

Following Yiji to the flower hall, Li Congyuan hurriedly saluted when he saw His Majesty who was reading the scriptures with his feet up.

"Okay, Li Shangshu, go to Wenyuan Pavilion as soon as I finish my business with you."

Zhao Surui waved his hands and leaned on the recliner to look at him.

"Prince Yingjun secretly sneaked into Beijing and hid in Ning'anbo Mansion, intending to use gunpowder and underwater secret passages to capture the palace. Fortunately, someone discovered the conspiracy in advance, which made Zhao Jiqu seriously injured and could not do it. Now all the people have been arrested and imprisoned in the west. Only Zhao Qinyang, the heir of the prince of Yingjun, fled abroad, and you and Chang Shengning, Zhao Mingyin, Yang Zhai, and Chu Jiyuan discussed how to deal with it, and I will do whatever it takes to cut feudal vassals and decapitate them."

Li Congyuan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that Zhao Mingyin was actually ranked by His Majesty behind Chang Shengning, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, and even before Yang Zhai, a scholar and Shangshu of the Ministry of War.

Sure enough, what Fang Qi'en said was true, His Majesty has already determined to use female officials like ordinary civil servants.

Zhao Mingyin, as the princess of the Great Yong Dynasty, is afraid that she will become the first female elder in this dynasty.

"Your Majesty, the arrest of Zhao Qinyang..."

"I have already sent someone, you don't have to worry about this."

Li Congyuan raised his head and saw that His Majesty picked up the sweet-scented osmanthus honey tea next to him and drank it down in one gulp. He called for someone to come in to continue as if he was not satisfied after drinking it.

A little girl in her early ten years came in.

Their majesty, who has always been moody, turned out to be kind to the little girl: "Sanliang, what kind of snacks did your sister Tunan make, you go and see, and bring it to me... No, I will eat it by myself in a while, you go Check it out and tell me."

The little girl left, Zhao Surui looked at Li Congyuan again.

"As for the arson of the Duanji Hall this time, someone colluded with Zhao Jiqu and his son, and they were also included in the rebellion. Anyone who is suspected will be interrogated carefully."

In just one sentence, the case of arson in Duanji Hall has been linked with the conspiracy.

Li Congyuan lowered his head slightly and did not speak.

All he knew was that those people who followed Zhang Ding to his house must never send the notebooks to Yuqian.

Zhao Surui looked at Li Congyuan's white beard, and said: "One more thing, the traitor Zhao Jiqu has always been cunning and has some reputation in the clan. I suspect that some of the princes in the world are conspiring with him. You clearly express my will. Let the vassal kings come to Beijing one by one to have an audience, and I want to take a good look at what the vassal kings guarding all sides for the Dayong Dynasty are now."

"Yes."

Thinking that the soldiers from the Nine Towns would enter the capital at the beginning of spring, Zhao Surui suddenly had another idea:

"The day is arranged when I review the nine towns. I want them to take a good look and weigh it carefully."

"……Yes."

When Li Congyuan left, his head was aching. He hadn't dealt with such a majesty for a long time, and he was really overwhelmed.

When he came to an arched door, he suddenly heard two young women say, "Girls have been busy all morning, and it's time for some snacks."

"hold on."

He turned his head hastily, only to see a corner of the dress disappearing behind the hibiscus tree.

At that time, Li Congyuan, who was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, a scholar of Wuyingdian, the head of civil officials in the world, and the leader of the Qing dynasty, felt sad for a while.

It is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal! ! !

When he left the gate of Shen's house, he almost collided with Ergou, the eunuch Bingbi, the supervisor of rites.

Ergou hurriedly saluted him and walked in quickly.

Li Congyuan turned his head, glanced at the door plaque of Shen's house, and felt mixed feelings for a while.

"Master Li, my girl knows that Master Li is busy with government affairs, so I ordered my servants to bring you some refreshments."

Seeing the tea served in front of him by the girl with deep eyebrows, Li Congyuan raised his hand and took it.

"Thanks a lot."

"Master Li, you are welcome."

Watching the girl go back to Shen's house, Li Congyuan weighed the hot snack in his hand, and slowly sat back in the car.

As the carriage drove north, he lifted the curtain and took another look at the plaque on Shen's house.

The second dog entered the flower hall, and his dog's face almost blossomed with a smile:

"My lord, it's over, then Zhao Qinyang..."

"Wait a minute."

Zhao Surui stopped his words first, and looked up at the door.

"Three taels, is the snack ready?"

The thin and small Sanliang poked his head from the door, and said timidly: "Snacks are ready, servant girl watched Tunan sister carry it to the study."

Zhao Surui got up immediately, strode out, and went out, he didn't forget to greet Ergou:
"You come with me."

Er Gou hurriedly followed his emperor out, passed a narrow passage, and the two of them entered a courtyard.

As soon as he entered the yard, Zhao Surui smelled a milky aroma.

"Okay, I'm busy in the front, you drink goat's milk and have some snacks here."

After entering the room, Zhao Surui unceremoniously picked up a chair and sat down, right next to Shen Shiqing.

Shen Shiqing glanced at Tu Nan: "Didn't you send any snacks to the Flower Hall?"

Tu Nan lowered his head, and said in a calm tone: "Returning to the girl, I made pine nut cakes for Young Master Zhao to go with tea, and Young Master Zhao specially ordered a pot of sweet-scented osmanthus honey tea. The servant girl thought that the butter-soaked snails are a bit sweet and greasy. Tea is not suitable..."

"What's inappropriate? It's clearly neglecting me." Zhao Surui said, he had already taken a snail in butter in his hand, and it was specially taken from Shen Shiqing's face.

Seeing that he looked a little aggrieved, Shen Shiqing raised her hand and pushed the jug containing almond goat milk towards him.

"Drink?"

"Hmph, drinking goat's milk every day, it smells like milk."

The tone is distasteful, and the action is quick.

Ergou on the side widened his dog eyes, watching his emperor taking snacks from others, and being coaxed into laughing by just using some goat's milk.

This, is this their emperor?

After eating snacks and drinking goat's milk, sitting less than two feet away from Shen Sanwau, Zhao Surui was satisfied, and said to Ergou:
"Okay, you can report it."

Ergou was surprised, lowered his head and said:

"Report to the emperor, the slave girl made friends with Zhao Qinyang according to the emperor's order. After he fled, the slave girl's people found him in Hongshan Temple. The slave girl has already sent someone to help him escape from Yanjing. Listen to his words." Meaning, he knew in his heart that he could not go directly to the south, so the servants sent people to follow him, and now he is going to Jinyang."

"Jinyang?"

Shen Shiqing frowned lightly, she picked up a pen and sketched on the paper, Zhao Surui leaned over to look, and after looking for a long time, she realized that she had drawn the territory map of Dayong silently.

Zhao Surui took another snail soaked in butter.

"Zhao Qinyang is a cunning and ruthless person, and he will never give up the generational management of the Yingjun Palace in Jiangxi. He took Jinyang, presumably because someone can send him back to Jiangxi."

Jinyang is the place where the family members of Feng Youqi, the in-law of Uncle Ning'an's residence, are located.

In addition, Jinyang is also an important military base, if the defenders here collude with Zhao Qinyang...

Shen Shiqing looked at Zhao Surui.

Zhao Surui, who had a white beard after drinking goat milk, smacked his lips:

"Probably to let Feng Youqi rebel with him."

Shen Shiqing nodded slightly, she said slowly:

"Zhao Jiqu is not just Zhao Qinyang's son. He has another son in Jiangxi, who was suppressed by Zhao Qinyang for several years. Zhao Qinyang went back rashly at this time, and he had to be careful that his head was donated to the court by his younger brother. It is better to get soldiers from Feng Youqi first. Hurry back before the imperial army arrives in Jiangxi, and take down the Yingjun palace in one fell swoop, so that all the people in Jiangxi who have no clear relationship with the Yingjun palace will be coerced by him. In this way..."

"Take Feng Youqi first."

Seeing that Shen Sanwas said the same thing as himself, Zhao Surui smiled and ate the last buttered snail.

"Ergou, do you understand?"

"The servant understands, the servant will set off now, the emperor is at ease, and the empress is at ease."

Ergou left, he walked lightly.

His blushing emperor was left behind.

Shen Shiqing didn't pay attention to what Ergou said, put the drawn territory map aside, turned to see Zhao Surui, couldn't help asking:

"Are you choking?"

Zhao Surui: ...

Yiji has been guarding the gate of the courtyard, and seeing Ergou come out happily, he hastily grabbed him:
"Why did you lose the rules when you left the palace?"

Ergou smiled "hehe".

"I did something very pleasing to the emperor today."

He showed off to Yiji with a doggy face:

"I called Mrs. Shen! After Mrs. Shen enters the palace and becomes a noble concubine, she must still remember me, the dog who announced the good news."

He was still happy, Yiji's face was already blue.

"Ergou, go and do some errands."

"You don't need to say that? I..."

"After this matter is settled, the emperor will send someone to the southeast to form a navy to attack the Japanese pirates, so you can go and be the eunuch of the army."

Patting his friend on the shoulder, Yiji said sincerely.

"Ten or eight years, don't go back to Yanjing."

She didn't even tell who was being the empress for whom, with such sharp eyesight, it would be safe to send her out of the palace.

A chicken felt exhausted and couldn't help sighing.

No Responsibility Extra Episode 26
Zhao Surui's capacity for alcohol is average, Shen Shiqing learned a lesson once, this time she only drank half a catty of Yulu wine and planned to return to the palace.

As soon as he stood up, he heard loud footsteps.

A woman in a big silver-red coat rushed over and grabbed her by the collar.

"Okay, I'll give birth to a baby for you, but you actually come out to hang out with other people!"

Seeing who it was, Shen Shiqing raised her arms and hugged the person in her arms.

"Okay, you worked hard, you worked hard."

Ming Ruoshui watched from the side, and saw the tigress-like wife of "Brother Chen" standing in Brother Chen's arms blushing, and she was coaxed right away.

Even later, because I can't stop writing...

Update on the 30th, after staying up all night, my brain is not working well, and I am not satisfied with what I wrote
