Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 574

"Master Ge, it's time to take the medicine!"

The two maidservants stepped forward respectfully, one announced the blessings, and the other bowed forward with a silver plate and jade bowl. Zhang Juzheng, who was flipping through the documents at the desk, did not look up, and You Qi, who was standing behind Zhang Juzheng, nodded. Going forward, put the jade bowl on the tea table beside the desk.

"Songjiang Mansion has reported several times, saying that a whipping law in that area cannot be implemented. What about the prefect of Songjiang? Is the Nanjing Household Department so slack?"

Zhang Juzheng asked calmly, and You Qi behind him was slightly taken aback, bowed and said in a low voice:

"Master, the Xu family, it's the Xu family..."

Zhang Juzheng just raised his head, but when he heard this, he shook his head, laughed and said:

"It's approaching the first month, and I really can't remember things."

Because in his own study room, Zhang Juzheng only had his hair tied up on his head. You Qi looked behind him, but found that Zhang Juzheng's original black hair was mixed with a lot of frost, so he couldn't help but move closer and said:

"Master, you often say that the way of civil and martial arts is to stretch one piece and relax it. You can't stretch it too tightly, and you can't let it go too loose. But, master, you work hard all day, and you must... pay attention to your body."

Zhang Juzheng turned his head and glanced, put down the document in his hand, and said with a smile:

"Work harder now. After next year, the money and food collected by one whip method will be enough for three years. The officials and people will be familiar with this method. At that time, it will be easier to drink medicine."

You Qi hurried to the coffee table, lifted the lid of the jade bowl and put it aside, put the silver spoon on the silver plate into the bowl, and handed it over with both hands.

Zhang Juzheng leaned on the back of the chair and exhaled, and said:
"Today, these papers were sent to Zhang Xueyan before dark, so that the Ministry of Household Affairs can convert the amount for this year as soon as possible. The Empress Dowager and His Majesty are eager to read it."

"Master, why are you in such a hurry? Even if you can't calculate the exact number, the master's great achievements are already seen by the world... I have something to report to the master. The young master went to the Ministry of Officials to ask for the position of the magistrate of Luzhou Prefecture Li Youzi from the official department came to ask the master..."

Zhang Juzheng just picked up the silver spoon, when he heard this, he dropped the spoon on the edge of the bowl and said in a cold voice:

"Why did he get involved in such a matter, and made Li Youzi refuse this matter? Doesn't he know the painstaking efforts of the old man, if he didn't take care of him when he was young, how can he inherit the career of the old man in the future? You Qi, you don't care about this matter Ridiculous, you take care of these things as usual, why does he interfere!!"

You Qi wiped his sweat, turned to Zhang Juzheng from behind, knelt on the ground and said:
"What the young master has to do, the young one can't..."

"Forget it, the old man will tell you, you just do your part!"

You Qizheng kowtowed in fear. As the number one confidant under Zhang Juzheng's door, he was the chief assistant of the cabinet through him when seeking officials, talking about customs, and clearing up relations in the capital. Because of this, You Qi's side A large amount of money came into the account, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is getting richer every day.

If Zhang Juzheng's eldest son wants to intervene in this matter, it is tantamount to cutting You Qi's source of income. Naturally, he will not be willing, and Zhang Juzheng has never wanted his children to be involved in the dirty affairs of the officialdom. Qingwang, this is also hoping that they can make achievements in the officialdom, and it can be regarded as a leverage, You Qi uses Zhang Juzheng's side to block the way for others to take over.

Speaking of his son, Zhang Juzheng won't say much here. Hearing You Qi agreed, Zhang Juzheng just nodded, picked up the jade bowl and took a sip. As soon as he took a mouthful, Zhang Juzheng raised his eyebrows, savored a few times, and said:
"Today's medicine is easier to drink than in the past."

After finishing speaking, he raised his head and drank the medicine. You Qi stepped forward courteously, put the jade bowl back on the silver plate, put it aside, and said with a smile:

"This time, the dried fur seals sent from Shandong have added some honey. It is said that this kind of boiling medicine can make the medicine more effective."

Zhang Juzheng nodded, then looked down at the document in his hand...
*************
The 24th day of the twelfth lunar month was the deadline for all government offices to be closed for the New Year. A chief of the Ministry of War left for work and hurried towards his home.

Walking through the corner of the street, I collided with the person who was walking towards me. Both of them staggered a few steps and almost fell down. When they got up, the principal stepped forward and said a few words to the other person. The person repeatedly bowed and apologized. , trotted away in a hurry.

Before the gate of the capital city was closed, news had already been sent out of the capital, passing through the capital to Tianjin Wei, and changing horses at a post station privately set up along the way by Wang Tong.

Now, on the official road from the capital to Tianjinwei, there is a post station in the form of an inn or a cart shop every [-] miles. If the horse does not stop, the most urgent state can be delivered to Tianjin within two days. guard.

On the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, all the soldiers and horses under the jurisdiction of Tianjin Wei Wangtong were lifted from the state of combat readiness. The capital sent the news through the inside line of the Ministry of War that the imperial army will not go out to perform martial arts this year.

Every rehearsal out of the fortress involves the preparation of logistics materials, the concentration of the regiments, the mobilization of materials, and the conquest of civilians. These are quite troublesome things, and preparations must be made in advance. Combat readiness, ready to launch at any time.

For two consecutive years, the Huwei army was conscripted out of the fortress for drills, and each time they fought against the Tartar cavalry on the grassland. The battlefield is full of dangers. If you want to stay safe, you must be fully prepared.

However, to mobilize a large amount of supplies in this way and keep the soldiers and horses in a state of combat readiness at all times, it will cost twice as much per day as compared to the normal state.

Therefore, it is necessary to get the most accurate information from the capital and various yamen, and then Tianjin Wei will make the fastest response and disposal.

After the Huwei Army lifted the fighting status, the Jinyiwei and Security Army and other institutions in charge of Tianjinwei also lifted the state of martial law. It was already the twelfth lunar month, and Tianjinwei, which had been tense for a long time, finally had a festive atmosphere.

Shen Zhangshi and Shen Taiping moved into a certain house by the Weihai River in Tianjin. The two names Shen Zhangshi and Shen Taiping are very common. After living in a certain house, it is really nothing unusual.

The house is a three-entry house that can only be lived in by upper-class families. Shen Zhang is a young woman, and Shen Taiping is a baby who is still in his infancy, but there are more than a dozen maids serving them, and there are servants and servants in the outer house. , Such a family makes people look like it is naturally a big family, and the male master is not there, which makes it even more confusing for those who are interested.

"A mother-in-law came to ask Shen and Zhang to believe in Maitreya and protect the mother and child?"

Hearing Sun Dahai's report, Wang Tong asked in surprise, Sun Dahai nodded, bowed and said:
"Because your lord has ordered you not to show too many traces of the guards. After all, Shen Wang still has to visit relatives and residents. The guards and spies are all watching in the dark. There are also a few of our own servants and servants. Our Tianjin Weige We keep a close eye on everything, the ruffians and rogues are all swept away, and we don't dare to show our faces when we dismantle white liars. However, we don't care about the mother-in-law and nun who walk around the house. Mrs. Shi, who sells cosmetics and powder from door to door, came to the door. After the woman entered, she talked with Shen Zhang about the three calamities and nine difficulties for children. Fuyuan, Mrs. Shen and Zhang were flustered at first, and they believed it a little bit, so they made an appointment with Mrs. Shi to come to the door after the next year, and planned to know the details."

It seemed to be a sesame-sized matter, but Wang Tong frowned when he heard it. Seeing Wang Tong's expression, Sun Dahai continued to speak carefully:
"Among the maids in the inner house who serve Shen Zhang personally, there is a friend who is a servant outside. The servant is quick to talk, and he will tell everyone after hearing it. When we people on business over there hear the saying of worshiping Maitreya, they think of the old man. I have reported to you as soon as possible.”

Wang Tong nodded and said solemnly:
"Bai Lian Maitreya, since Chengzu's reign, he started to cause chaos, intermittently, tossing until now, and the bastard Buddha Lao Shizi worshiped by the Sanyang Sect is also inseparable from this, and must be strictly investigated."

Sun Dahai nodded and answered:
"What your lord said is that the subordinates have arranged for people to follow that old lady Shi, and there should be rewards today."

"Women and Taoists can't show their faces, but they never thought that these women can take advantage of the loopholes to do evil. Women think narrowly and believe in gods and Buddhas. Once they believe in gods and Buddhas, they will be the most confused!!"

************
"My lord, Mrs. Shi is from Sanjiaodian. She sells cosmetics and jewelry. There are 30 people in total. They walk around the streets and alleys, interacting with the female family members who are decent in the city."

Hearing Sun Dahai's report, Wang Tong was taken aback for a moment, stood up immediately, and asked solemnly:
"Triangle Lake!!?"

Sun Dahai answered in the affirmative again, Wang Tong slammed his fist on the table, and shouted sharply:

"The gathering of poor people in Sanjiaodian, if there are traitors instigating it, it will definitely lead to chaos. Immediately call two regiments with more than one hundred generals and security guards to come to my office!!"

While he was talking, the guards around him had already stepped out to deliver the order. Sun Dahai rubbed his forehead with his hands, and said in a low voice:
"There are tens of thousands of households in Sanjiaodian, and they are mixed everywhere. We have too few people here, and we really can't take care of them. We can't keep an eye on everything."

"It's not your fault. Our manpower is insufficient here, but we are careless over there and neglect to take precautions."

Wang Tong said solemnly.

*************
"Maitreya came to the world. Those who believe in Maitreya will avoid three disasters and nine disasters, receive incense diligently, and worship good thoughts, and they will surely be able to wait for the Paradise of Paradise!!"

A dozen women knelt there respectfully and kowtowed, a middle-aged woman with a pale complexion screamed there, a dozen women heard this, and chanted sutras in unison, extremely respectful.

There is a bronze Buddha placed on the stone platform in the middle. The bronze Buddha holds up both hands, each holding a sun, and there is also one between the chest and abdomen...——
