Chapter 520
Of course, Zheng Zining is not because she is unreasonable and arrogant, but because she understands the weaknesses of human nature.
For example, when she was driving Liu Bu to give birth with all her strength, this was also a smarter way for her. It would be strange if Liu Bu didn't work hard to do anything about this carrot in front of her?
As expected, with such a generous reward, Liu Bu was fearless and brave enough to do it day and night, growing jade in Lantian, and finally made something.
Liu Bu worked day and night, and finally made something happen. While he seemed a little proud, he couldn't help asking his wife about the prize?
Zheng Zining said: "Didn't you say you vomit after eating? Why do you still want to eat it now?"
Liu Bu smiled embarrassedly, and said, "The spoils of soldiers are rewards and respects for soldiers. He may not be able to wait for use, but he must have them."
Zheng Zining said: "Are you worried that you don't keep your word?"
Liu Bu said: "How can this be? After all, he is a person who commands thousands of troops. If he doesn't keep his word, how can he lead the three armies and make everyone surrender?"
He said no, but he had to die. This concubine still had to marry him. Thinking of Ziqing's super long legs and slender waist, he was fascinated by it. Such a beautiful woman is worth it no matter how hard or tired she is.
Zheng Zining said: "You can rest assured about this matter. I am also a person who keeps my word. If the person in the West Court thought that I had a big stomach, I would have no choice but to deal with him. It would be his world. This is impossible."
Liu Bu was very happy when he heard this, and kept giggling, and he said, "This is great! This is great." When his wives and concubines were jealous, he became a big pig's hooves that everyone competed for, and he could get along with each other and be like a fish in water.
Chen Tongwen is one of the four eunuchs in the hall in the Silijian. If it was in the previous dynasty and the emperor trusted the eunuchs, he was a powerful figure in the palace. You should know that the eunuchs in the leader of the Silijian could be compared with the chief minister of the cabinet and fight against each other. He could directly overturn the cabinet's plan. If he was admiring the Dongchang again, he would be the most awesome figure in the entire court. At that time, Wei Zhongxian had two positions and two positions, and was powerful all over the world, which made him stagnant in the Ming Dynasty for five years.
However, the current Emperor Chongzhen did not trust eunuchs. What he feared most was that the prince took over power, so he imposed a lot of restrictions on the rights of eunuchs, and also imposed a lot of restrictions on the power of the Dongchang and Jinyiwei. The admiral of the Dongchang was Wang Chengen, but he actually had an empty title. The Dongchang under his command was no longer an office, but a leading agency.
The Jinyiwei was even worse. Luo Yangxing, the commander of the Jinyiwei, was the son of Luo Sigong, the former commander of the Jinyiwei. By overthrowing Wei Zhongxian, he took up the position of Jinyiwei Commander. He was originally a powerful position, but the emperor imposed many restrictions on him. The emperor had been serving as the chief commander of the Jinyiwei for ten years and had never summoned him as the commander of the Jinyiwei Commander, nor did he send him any tasks. Except for occasionally setting up some corrupt officials, raiding the houses of ministers, and the emperor's suppression made the strength of the entire factory guard very weak.
Since the most powerful minions and factories in the inner court were not good, the entire inner court system was very bad. Even Wang Chengen, the leader of the inner court, was not awesome, let alone the eunuchs in his hands. As one of the four eunuchs in the Silijian, Chen Tongwen, his power was extremely weak. Apart from a salary and Bing Jingtan Jing, there was nothing else. He lamented that if he was a eunuch from the previous dynasty, he would not know how much money he could make with such a position, and he could only eat and drink the northwest wind in the palace.
So Chen Tongwen has always sought to exile, such as Lu Jiude, Gao Qiqian, Cao Huazhang and others. He went out to work as an army supervisor, and could also make a lot of money, but he was unable to enter. This time she finally got an errand, which was to go to Dengzhou to announce the imperial edict. Chen Tongwen also regarded this matter as a good person. After all, he was the emperor's servant and the representative of the emperor. When he first arrived at the place, he was the supreme emperor. People in the place had to take her as his ancestor, especially the Liu family in Linqing, Shandong, who was rich in the world. If he did not get a thousand 18,000 taels of silver back, he would not be called Chen Tongwen.
Chen Tongwen knew that the emperor did not like eunuchs and restricted the rights of eunuchs, so when he was in the capital, he did not dare to shake it up, but once he left the capital, he would shake it up.
For example, when he was in the capital, he rode a horse, but after leaving the capital, he immediately asked the accompanying staff to change her into a sedan chair. After entering the post station, he must live in a room and must have thirty-six dishes, otherwise he would blurt out the postmen and humiliate her in every possible way.
This time they announced the imperial edict, but they brought dozens of entourage personnel, including a group of Jinyiwei. These Jinyiwei were not used as secret spies. In fact, they just walked around, stood there, and showed off their Jinyiwei. They have been having trouble living recently. If they had this emperor, let alone the power matter, they didn’t even have the most basic guarantee.
In the previous dynasty, the Jinyiwei bullied others. When it came to this dynasty, the Jinyiwei, who was the personal soldiers of the emperor, was always suppressed and beaten.
The Jinyiwei is the emperor's personal soldiers and the emperor's hawks. If the emperor authorizes them and trusts them, their rights can be infinitely magnified. If the emperor does not trust them and does not give them power, their lives will be difficult. Not only will their lives be difficult, but they are also bullied. The once majestic Jinyiwei has become a idle department.
Luo Yangxing, the leader of the Jinyiwei, was ambitious and wanted to do something, but the emperor did not give him the rights, and there were civil officials in the court who tried their best to suppress him, so he could only be a human being with his tail between his legs.
So this time they were able to leave Beijing, and one or two of them ran quickly and happily like horses with reins.
When they were near the capital, they were still restrained, but after leaving the Shuntian Mansion, they really started to shake.
The emperor asked them to travel day and night to Dengzhou to carry out publicity. They were better off and acted as a hero, but they didn't want to arrive in Dengzhou so soon.
You should know that since they left Shuntian Mansion, they have been eating and living in public inns, eating and taking advantage of them. Whenever they go to an inn, the inns must provide good food and accommodation. When they leave, they have to give a gift, otherwise they will not leave and dare to beat and scold the inns at will. Because they are angels of the court and local officials cannot control them, these inns dare not speak out, and they can only raise some money and quickly send these plague gods away.
Since they are walking along the way, they are delicious, well-equipped and have a great scenery, why should they rush to Dengzhou?
So Chen Tongwen and his group of people ran to Dengzhou, and went to Dengzhou in a grand manner. Liu Yuanqiao had heard of such villains. In fact, he thought that the angels of the court should have arrived in Dengzhou seven days ago, but after they waited for seven days, these people arrived near Dengzhou.
Liu Yuanqiao also heard about the other party’s actions along the way. Liu Yuanqiao did not show any toughness about the information reported by his subordinates and his complaints. He just told his subordinates to tolerate them as much as possible. After all, the other party is an angel, and try to meet their needs as much as possible.
With Liu Yuanqiao's indulgence, Chen Tongwen and his group became even more arrogant and domineering and unscrupulous.
In fact, Chen Tongwen is also a sensible person. He acted along the way, on the one hand, for extortion, and on the other hand, to test Dengzhou's reaction. If the other party responds strongly, he will run away immediately when he sees the news that something is wrong, but when he sees the other party compromise, he will know that this matter can be accomplished.
However, some things were beyond Chen Tongwen's expectations. This is because since the other party had already compromised and knew that he was an angel from the court and was about to arrive, they should appear at the city gate to welcome him, but they did not appear at the city gate to welcome him. When the court's angel convoy entered Dengzhou City, the officers and soldiers guarding the city ignored the news, and the people glared at him, without any other performance.
Chen Tongwen also understood one thing, that is, there was no secret in the entire Ming Dynasty. He dared to say the contents of the imperial edict. The people in Dengzhou Prefecture should have known it for a long time, and these ordinary people have known it for a long time. It is precisely because they know that they glared at the angels of the court.
After all, the imperial court distributed one million, and the ones plundered from below were more than one million, which might be five or six million, seven or eight million, or even tens of millions. This made the people of Dengzhou Prefecture, who had just lived a good life for a few days, live a hard life again and go hungry again. What's so strange if they are happy?
But Chen Dongwen said to his side: "This time, the officials of the Three East Governments took the opportunity to make money. They must make millions. If we don't take the opportunity to knock him out more than 100,000 yuan in silver pocket money, we will be sorry that we will go out in vain."
Chen Tongwen publicly threatened to extort officials of Dengzhou Prefecture, and all of them won unanimous welcome from their followers. They all agreed and said, "Yes! This time we are here, we will knock on Liu Yuanqiao's robbery and earn his money."
To their surprise, they believed that these officials of Dengzhou Prefecture might be guarding the city gate to welcome them. After all, they were angels of the court and were specifically responsible for promulgating the imperial edicts. They were afraid that they would not greet them well enough and had to do their best to curry favor. Who knew that the other party had no expression, and even an official came to greet them, and no one came to greet them.
Chen Tongwen's face turned gloomy on the spot because he knew something that he sent two entourages in advance to announce the day they arrived. In other words, Liu Yuanqiao and others knew that they would arrive here today and would come here. They should welcome him at the city gate or ten miles away, but they ignored him. What medicine was sold in this gourd? It surprised him again.
Moreover, he also felt that after they entered Dengzhou City, they also felt the anger and hostility of the people of Dengzhou. They all looked at the imperial envoys wearing flying fish suits and praising embroidered spring swords with hatred.
