At this time, the sound of punishment outside had stopped, and a eunuch in charge of punishment said in a cold voice outside the door: "Long live Lord, Li Song has been killed with a rod! Do you want to test it?"
Zhang Jia didn't wait for Emperor Wanli to speak and said loudly: "What test is there? Since he is dead, drag him out quickly!"
In this way, a eunuch who still had some dignity outside the palace died quietly outside Emperor Wanli's palace. And the news spread throughout the palace in an instant. As for Empress Dowager Li, she didn't say anything after hearing this.
After Feng Bao heard the news, he called a few people to inquire in detail, and then sent people to inspect various Zhuangzi. But he also knew that he was hated by Emperor Wanli because of this incident, but he didn't think he had done anything wrong.
.After all, he does not and cannot personally intervene in every matter in the Imperial Manor.
But he was very dissatisfied with Feng Ning going to Emperor Wanli's palace to ask for information without permission! If Feng Ning hadn't been stupid, Emperor Wanli would not have grudged him! So he simply sent Feng Ning to the Pure Army. He would probably do it again in the future.
I can’t see him anymore!
When the news reached the court, it did not cause any disturbance, because the civil servants never had a good impression of the eunuchs. Even after Zhang Juzheng heard about the incident, he only said "I understand" when he asked about the whole story!
However, there were still voices in the court saying that Emperor Wanli was too violent to kill eunuchs at a young age! But these voices soon disappeared completely. After all, it is very common for a eunuch to die in the palace!
At this time, Liu Haojia had no intention of paying attention to these things. He had already lived in Liuzhuang and was instructing the villagers to renovate the porcelain kilns and build mirror workshops.
After Liu Haojia took over Liuzhuang, those thugs were completely eliminated. Many exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes were also abolished. But instead of relaxing management, he made stricter demands on the bankers. It was almost like using military law to manage the entire Liuzhuang.
Got it!
However, the bankers who had benefited were afraid of offending the new boss and returning their good life to the way it was before, so they were very supportive of Liu Haojia's instructions and responded positively! They obeyed and learned the new system thrown out by Liu Haojia.
, and also kept the entire village clean and tidy, and set up a team to patrol the village as requested by Liu Haojia!
Although I dare not say that Liu Haojia's management of the entire Liuzhuang is irreversible, but as long as he insists on maintaining the system, any outsider who comes in the village will be stopped and questioned by the villagers! Anyway, this is Huangzhuang, okay
It was the law of the palace. Even if outsiders were beaten to death, they would only be reported to the palace. This gave Liu Haojia great convenience!
As for Zhang Qiang, he fully cooperated with Liu Haojia's every move and actively studied various systems. He often pestered Liu Haojia to ask why he did this. Liu Haojia also did not hide his secrets and explained the reasons clearly. The two of them
Getting along quite well!
Especially after Liu Haojia clearly told Zhang Qiang that he would not manage Zhuangzi in the future and was only overdoing it at present, Zhang Qiang thoroughly treated the strategy he formulated as an imperial edict! So the two people cooperated very happily!
Before the renovation of the porcelain kiln was completed, the two old kiln workers brought by Liu Haojia and the four kiln workers in the palace had full exchanges. The four old kiln workers in the palace were very experienced and had good skills in removing impurities from raw materials.
, so the first batch of raw glass was very successful! The refined flat glass was sent to the newly built workshop for back coating production.
Although the produced mirror still has a bit of blue, it is quite light and does not affect the use at all. Even looking at the slightly blue mirror, there are some special light and shadow effects!
On the day when the coating was completed, the kiln worker put the mirror up. The four old kiln workers in the palace were almost shocked! In their opinion, this was a god-like skill! This made them very fond of Liu Haojia.
Worship! When Liu Haojia taught them to use a diamond knife to cut a mirror, they worshiped him even more!
This day is the day when the wives from outside the palace enter the palace. On this day, the famous wives will gather in the palace of Queen Mother Li. Those who have the opportunity to enter the palace will not give up the opportunity to get closer to Queen Mother Li. After all, this
But she is the most powerful woman in the world!
At this time, the palace of Queen Mother Li can be said to be full of flowers! Because these ladies who entered the palace not only came by themselves, but also often brought their daughters who were about to get married, hoping to be recommended by the Queen Mother for a good marriage!
And Queen Mother Li also liked this atmosphere very much. After all, she was very quiet in the deep palace. She had people to talk to and she could see some young girls. Even she felt that she seemed much younger!
Just when Empress Dowager Li was chatting with the concubines in full swing, a palace maid suddenly announced: "Your Majesty, the Long Live Lord is outside asking for an audience! And the Long Live Lord brought something covered with red cloth, which seemed to be a gift specifically for the Queen.
coming!"
When the ladies around heard what the palace maid said, they all praised Emperor Wanli in a joking manner! "Master Wanzai is so filial. He always thinks of the empress if he has any good things!"
"That's right, my empress is a lucky one!"
"The things your Majesty sent must be extraordinary. Today we can take this opportunity to broaden our horizons!"
Queen Mother Li felt very comfortable with the compliments from everyone, so she said: "Then let Lord Long Live come in! Lord Long Live is not old, so the children don't have to avoid it!"
After a while, Emperor Wanli walked in triumphantly with Zhang Jia and four eunuchs. Emperor Wanli's servants walked in front, but the four eunuchs behind carefully carried an object covered with red cloth, but it didn't look like it.
Very heavy.
When Emperor Wanli came in, the ladies and girls around him all stood up and saluted. Emperor Wanli waved his hand casually and said, "No gifts! I am here today mainly to give gifts to my mother, so you don't need to be too polite!"
After saying this, Emperor Wanli quickly walked towards Empress Dowager Li and said, "Mother, I brought something good today, you must have never seen it before!"
Empress Dowager Li didn't take it seriously after hearing Emperor Wanli's words. She could see that what the four eunuchs were carrying was a rectangular, flat frame, which was either embroidery or calligraphy and painting! She was carrying such things.
I saw too much in the palace!
But since Emperor Wanli had the intention of presenting a treasure, it was always a good idea, so she still smiled and said: "Long Live Lord is interested, open it quickly and let Aijia see what treasure makes Lord Wan Live so happy!"
Emperor Wanli turned around and signaled the eunuch to put the thing up. Then he stepped forward and pulled off the red cloth covering it, revealing what was inside. It turned out to be a floor-to-ceiling mirror as tall as a person!
