Chapter 2187 The king does not go to court early

Huaishu Hutong, Xu Mansion.

Snowflakes fell down in a turbulent manner, and the yard that had been cleaned was covered with a thick layer of white snow, and people would leave deep footprints when they walked by.

The lights in the study were on, and there were few people walking around in the courtyard, and everything seemed silent.

Since Jiajing's death, Xu Jie no longer needed to go to the palace to serve him, but he was able to stay at home every night. However, as his power was continuously reduced, the party was obviously not as lively as before.

Xu Jie, who was in the study, opened a letter from his hometown in Songjiang. After reading the contents of the letter, he looked silent for a long time.

"Dad, what's wrong?" Xu Kun asked with concern through the desk without reading the content of the letter.

Since Xu Kun and Xu Ying left the capital, he has become the person his father trusts the most, and he has directly participated in many confidential matters.

Xu Jie handed the letter directly to Xu Kun, and said with complicated eyes: "Hai Gangfeng still made Lin Junran's knife. He wants to attack our family... no, he wants to attack me!"

Although the letter mentioned that the person Hai Rui pointed to was his third son Xu Ying, he knew very well that this time it was actually targeting him, the chief assistant.

Hai Rui had already lived up to what Lin Qinran expected. In this way, Wu Shilai and others acted as a pioneer, but wanted to pull himself off for Lin Qinran.

Xu Kun is a very ambitious person. He knew that his power came from his father. He hurriedly reached out to take the letter, and then quickly swept it up with the candlelight next to him.

Xu Jie picked up the teacup next to him, but said with emotion: "Hai Rui has been in our Huating for so long, and he doesn't want to be involved in the struggle between me and Lin Qingran. It should be content to become the prefect of Songjiang.

!I never thought that he was a biting dog and didn't bark, and he would kill me when he took action!"

Although people in the world praised Hai Rui as an official of the Qing Dynasty, he always felt that Hai Rui was seeking fame and reputation, and his various actions were just like him to gain a good reputation, and then he used it to gain an official position.

"Dad, the letter only says that Hai Rui put his third brother in the prison for stealing the land and burning a house, but there is no follow-up, so it may not have any impact on you, Dad?" Xu Kun read the letter

The content seems to be very incomprehensible.

Xu Jie took a sip of Tieguanyin with a mellow taste, raised his eyelids and said sarcastically: "Hai Rui has actually come to arrest people. Do you think he is really unfounded?"

In his opinion, this move was clearly because Hai Rui had planned for a long time. Now that he had enough evidence, Hai Rui suddenly took action to arrest people and then implicated himself through this case.

"Brother... I won't be so careless!" Xu Kun originally wanted to defend his smart brother who was the same father and mother, but in the end he seemed honestly inferred.

Xu Jie sighed lightly and said in disappointment: "If you don't know, don't do it yourself! You three brothers have grown up with my own eyes. I know you all have some cleverness, but your little moves

...Do you really think you can hide it from my eyes?"

"Don't dare!" Xu Kun thought of his intention to leave Xu Fan and Xu Ying with his previous intention to leave the capital, and immediately responded with sweat.

Xu Jie took another sip of tea and then continued leisurely: "Things have come to this point. We must guard against Hai Gangfeng's killer move in advance!"

Although things were a bit too sudden, he was not too panicked. After all, he had experienced decades of ups and downs in the officialdom, but he had long seen such open and hidden arrows.

Now that Hai Rui stabbed him from Songjiang Mansion, Hai Rui was not too passive to use the case of his third son Xu Ying.

"Dad, what should we do?" Xu Kun knew Hai Rui's reputation well, and was a cruel person who was not afraid of even Jiajing, so he asked worriedly.

Xu Jie gently put down the teacup and had an idea in his heart, saying, "It is impossible to stop it from Songjiang now. You can say hello to the Tongzheng Envoy Department and give some more money to the palace tomorrow!"

Although eunuchs are now out of power, eunuchs are still people around the emperor after all, and sometimes they speak better than their chief minister.

That's right, he needs to first find out how Hai Rui wants to set up a stage to perform, and also prepare to resolve Hai Rui's killer move.

"Sir, please obey the order!" Xu Kun immediately bowed respectfully when he heard this order.

The snow was very heavy tonight, and snowflakes seemed to fall silently in Xiaoyongfang, telling unknown stories.

After a night of snow, there was thick snow on West Chang'an Street.

In order to facilitate the court visits by all officials, the soldiers of the Wucheng Military Office came here early to sweep the snow and set up a way for the sedan chair to walk in the middle of the road.

However, not all officials are qualified to ride in sedan chairs, or they cannot afford to raise sedan chairs at all, so many lower-level officials in the capital can only come on foot.

Fortunately, when winter began, Lin Weiran proposed to Longqing that non-important officials in winter did not need to attend court, which caused some officials at the bottom to come to the morning court without having to step on the snow from a long distance.

As usual, a large number of officials gathered in front of the Meridian Gate, and they were talking about the heavy snow last night and the agricultural production in the capital.

Obviously, their news is far less familiar than Lin Junran and Xu Jie, and they are not aware that something major happened in Songjiang Prefecture that can shock the government and the public.

Lin Qingran knew about this naturally, even more than Xu Jie knew, but it was thanks to his disciple Wang Honghai and quick private communication channels.

But now, he can't tell it, and it's hard to expose the incident.

Before Hai Rui's memorial arrived in the capital, he had to wait until the content of the memorial was officially announced to the public before he could "know" about this.

However, he could pretend that nothing had happened, but it did not prevent him from observing it. Xu Jie's reaction also showed some clues.

Even though Xu Jie is so good at disguising, he can't hide his guilt and attention to him, but he obviously looks at him more than usual.

It is precisely because Xu Jie already knew what happened in Songjiang Prefecture, so he became more resentful and vigilant towards himself, which led to Xu Jie's abnormal behavior.

Lin Xuran didn't want to alert the enemy. He was standing in the court like a ok. In order to prevent Xu Jie from seeing the clues, he looked at Xu Jie three times as he used to, and was also thinking about how to use Hai Rui to impeach Xu Jie.

A shocking thing.

In the blink of an eye, there were only three days left before the Spring Festival, and all parties had already begun to prepare for the Spring Festival.

The Tongzhengsi, located in Xigongshengmen, did not prepare for the festival in advance like other yamen. Instead, they were more busy handling memorials from the two capitals and thirteen provinces.

Due to various reasons, the Zuo Tongzheng envoy has changed twice this year. The Zuo Tongzheng envoy is Xie Dengzhi, who is a fellow townsman and friend of the same subject.

Although he also entered the officialdom as a Shujishi, he no longer had the good luck of Zhang Juzheng, and now he is the Zuo Tongzheng envoy who has little authority.

However, he adhered to his previous meticulous attitude of studying, and sat in the main hall of the General Office to urge officials to unpack the memorials from all over the country.

The main function of the Tongzheng Envoy Department is to submit memorials to officials. Originally, they had the power to pick out the memorials and beat them back, but now they mainly try to verify the authenticity of the memorials.

The memorials from the thirteen provinces of the two capitals were sent to the Lijian, but there was a literary room responsible for the classification of the "jobs and government envoys of the Tongzheng and Public Affairs Department every day", but they tried their best to prevent them from reading and leaking the contents of the memorials.

It is precisely because the work of the Tongzheng and Envoy Department has become optional, and they cannot even read the memorials submitted by officials below to the emperor at will.

However, Xie Dengzhi did not forget the earlier instructions. When he received the memorial from the Songjiang Prefect, he also inadvertently opened the memorial.

"I'm afraid this move is inappropriate!" Just as Xie Dengzhi wanted to see the content clearly, the right-level political envoy Li Yiyuan suddenly came out and stopped him.

Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

Although it is cold outside, thanks to the good heating system of Donghun Pavilion, Longqing has no effect on having fun here every day.

Mandariwa is a Mongolian woman with Hu blood. She has a kind of unrestrainedness in her bones and is fully expressed in her dance posture.

It has to be said that compared with traditional Ming women who have accepted Confucian etiquette since childhood, these unrestrained Mongolian women can actually arouse men's desires.

Longqing has been with Mandariwa for some time, but when he sees Mandariwa having various fancy teasings every day, he still can't stand it.

Nowadays, not only did he not neglect Mandariwa, but instead felt that Empress Chen and Concubine Li were boring, and he was also favored by this newly enthroned Manmei.

After the morning court, Longqing came to the East Warehouse again, but he watched Mandariwa standing on an extremely large red drum performing dance.

Mandariwa has a high talent for dancing and is wearing exquisite silver jewelry. However, her clothes are indeed very exposed. She is jumping barefoot with the rhythm, and she occasionally throws her eyes to Longqing.

Teng Xiang led two eunuchs holding memorials in. When he saw Longqing sitting above with a pig-like appearance, he walked lightly to Longqing.

Longqing was not careful about Tengxiang's arrival, or he was disdainful of it. He held the wine glass but forgot to send it to his mouth, staring straight at Mandariwa on the big drum.

When Teng Xiang saw Long Qing about to drink and applaud, he stepped forward like an eagle attacking and said: "Master, the memorial from the Tongzheng Envoy has been sent here, please take a look!"

"You... don't disturb me in the mood, throw it away... and send it to the cabinet!" Long Qing's wine just entered his throat and waved his hand dissatisfiedly after being interrupted like this.

Teng Xiang did not retreat, but said with a loyal look: "Master, here are three memorials that require you to write in person, and you cannot directly give them to the cabinet!"

"You are so annoying! Let's keep these three copies first and send the rest to the cabinet!" Long Qing was as if he had encountered a fly buzzing around his ears, and immediately sent him.

"Abide by the order!" Teng Xiang's eyes flashed with excitement, and he saluted respectfully.

quack……

Longqing's attention was attracted by Mandariwa's dance. When he saw Mandariwa dancing to orgasm, he made a strange smile.

But at this moment, Mandariwa seemed to be weak, or she couldn't dance well in this section, and suddenly fell on the huge drum face.

Mandariwa's figure is slightly fat, and the prairie woman's figure is also stormed. She has not fallen too hard, but she crawled on the drum face and groaned in pain: "Oh, Master..."

The sound of "Emperor" was so numb, and her eyes looked at the slightly drunk Longqing with resentment.

Longqing saw Mandariwa falling on the drum's face. Although he felt that this woman was even more intoxicated, he put down his wine glass and said with concern: "Manmei, are you okay?"

"It hurts, the emperor..." Mandariwa said in a pitiful look when facing Longqing's concern.

Longqing originally had a pleasing personality, but now seeing Mandariwa's appearance, he couldn't help but feel a kind fatherly love. He immediately walked towards Mandariwa and said, "Menmei, where have you been hurt?"

"It hurts here, here, and here are also uncomfortable!" Mandariwa pointed at her sexy thighs, then pointed at her buttocks, and then pointed at her chest and said angrily.

Longqing came to the drum and looked at the beauty on the drum. He originally wanted to care whether Mandariwa was injured. But he looked at her delicate appearance, but he couldn't help but swallow and spit.

"Your Majesty, you don't care about me. Don't check if I'm seriously injured!" Mandariwa looked at Longqing, who was already in the shape of a pig, and said coquettishly again.

Longqing's hand stroked his sexy thighs and buttocks, and as soon as he raised his head, he was blocked by a fragrant lips. Even if he was dull, he knew that this time it was this woman's trick, but he deliberately wanted to arouse his desire.

this……

The eunuchs and palace maids around him were stunned when they saw this scene, and found that this Manda Riga was so good at playing.

Seeing this, the eunuch of the foreman immediately asked the musician and unrelated personnel to withdraw from the outside, and at the same time, he couldn't help but look at this brave Mongolian woman more.

Mandariwa's teasing achieved results. Longqing's desire was aroused, and he gasped and said, "Menmei, let's go to the inner room!"

"No!" Mandariwa refused, and then said coquettishly: "I want to serve the emperor here!"

this……

Long Qing was slightly stunned. He saw that this big drum was indeed a place to be available, but it was something he had never thought about.

The eunuch foreman was a clever man. After driving the others out, he gently sent them to the door, but he couldn't help but look through the crack of the door and glanced at the spring scenery inside.

Spring night is short and the day is high, and the king will not go to court early from now on.

Longqing is as selfish as Jiajing in his bones, and is also a lazy emperor. Now he is trapped in a gentle land full of sun-sending children.
