After the court meeting dispersed, Chang Sheng was sweating profusely as if he had lost his soul.
His emperor's nephew had never said a harsh word to him in these years, but today he suddenly dealt with him so harshly, which caught him off guard and made him feel a little aggrieved.
"You can fine me a salary, think about your mistakes behind closed doors, or resign from your official position. But why did Zheng Guogong's name be removed? Does the emperor want to take back the titles of the Chang family? That's not possible!"
Chang Sheng couldn't figure it out. Zhao Sili, who was slowly walking out of the palace behind him, was covered in cold sweat and his heart palpitations still lingered.
He was feeling uneasy and frightened not only because of the emperor's attitude in the court just now, but also because he was thinking that after the court was over, his queen's daughter would definitely call him into the palace and reprimand him again.
Suddenly, Chang Sheng stopped in front of him, and Zhao Sili behind him was caught off guard and almost ran into him.
He raised his head in surprise and saw a eunuch coming out of the corner of the road ahead.
It was none other than Pu Wuyong, the deputy foreman of Fengtian Palace.
"My lord, please stay!" Pu Wuyong smiled at Chang Sheng, "Long live my lord, he is waiting for you at Le Zhi Zhai!"
Chang Sheng was overjoyed and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, father-in-law, for leading the way!"
After the dynasty was over, the emperor summoned him privately, and he must have something to say. Whether it was good or bad words, summoning him privately meant that he still regarded the Chang family as one of his own.
The two of them gradually walked away, leaving Zhao Sili standing there stunned.
He looked around, sighed, lowered his head and moved forward.
After taking a few steps, I suddenly saw a figure not far away, and my heart skipped a beat.
The eunuch Mei Liangliang, the leader of Brother Kunning, had obviously been waiting for a while. When he saw Zhao Sili, he smiled and said, "Master Marquis, the queen is waiting for you!"

Outside the Forbidden City, there were many sedans and carriages welcoming officials after the imperial dynasty.
The civil servants rode in sedans and the military attachés rode in carriages. The two sides were clearly separated and did not interfere with each other.
Cao Zhen, Marquis of Jingchuan, stood beside his carriage, his eyes scanning the civil servants who passed by like knives.
"Come on, why are you standing there?" Wuding Marquis Guo Ying came over with his shoulders raised, "Why are you wandering around?"
"Wait for those scholars who suffered from the plague!" Cao Zhen said bitterly.
When he spoke, the Marquis of Yongping, Xie Cheng, the Marquis of Changxing, Geng Bingwen, the Marquis of Huining, Zhang Wen, and the Marquis of Heqing, Zhang Yi, also came over, cursing and squeezing the knuckles of their hands.
"Stop playing tricks on these bastards!" Guo Ying scolded with a smile, "If we really catch them, you guys are going to take action? Are you going to have enough of beating the court ministers outside the Forbidden City?"
Cao Zhen rolled his eyes, "Who said you beat them? I just want to ask, why do you want to impeach us for no reason?"
"Let's go! Those grandsons have escaped long ago!" Guo Ying said with a smile.
Cao Zhen glanced at the civil servants who came out angrily, turned around and whispered, "What do you think, Brother Feng?"
The Feng Er he refers to is Feng Sheng, Duke of Song Dynasty. Xu Datang and the leader of Huaixi's rules have died of illness successively, and now Feng Sheng is the oldest. Although these veteran killers who founded the country usually disagree with everyone, they can
No matter what happens, the person with the most seniority will be elected as the leader.
"Find a place to drink!" Guo Ying whispered and got into his carriage.
"Old place?" Cao Zhen asked, then waved his hand and said to the surrounding military brothers, "Let's go to Lichun Courtyard!"
Afterwards, the carriages of the distinguished nobles formed a line and marched out of the palace city in a mighty manner.
After they were far away, Liao Ming, the deputy commander of the Imperial City Guards, walked to the duty room next to the doorway with a smile.
"Guys, they've left, you guys can come out!"
After the words fell, Yang Jing first stuck his head out to take a look, then straightened his clothes, hummed and came out with his head raised.
Followed by Hou Yong, Yan Zhenzhi and others.
"Thank you!" Yang Jing said to Liao Ming.
Liao Ming smiled and said, "Guys, those old uncles are probably heading towards West Street. You guys had better go around there! If we bump into them, it won't be good!"
~~~
Li Chun Courtyard was not considered a good courtyard in the capital, and it did not have any good courtesan or famous actress, but it was quite popular among these old nobles.
The main reason is that the style is relatively bold and unrestrained, and it goes straight to the point. If these old killers are allowed to go to the Qinhuai River Painted Boat to recite poems and lyrics, listen to music and sing lyrics, then they are not trying to wink at the blind man.
Besides, let them go to the boats and yards of those famous actors and spend a lot of money but they can only accompany them to drink and sing. It would be strange if they didn't ruin the place.
The nobles' carriage was parked outside Li Chun Courtyard without any disguise.
These old killers have only lived eight lives in a lifetime, killing people, setting fires, drinking, and making money. They don't understand any rules or irregularities. They understand and pretend not to understand. Anyway, neither the old emperor nor the new emperor has done anything for these years.
They punished them for not following the rules.
Cao Zhen took the lead and jumped out of the carriage quickly.
The madam, the mother of Li Chun Yuan, twisted her slightly plump waist with a bit of fat, and came forward with a fragrant breeze.
"Hey, Mr. Cao is here. If you don't come, I'll think you've forgotten me!" The old madam was in her early forties, and her so-called MILF charm was still there.
Cao Zhen pinched the other person's face directly and said with a smile, "Damn it, I didn't come, and I didn't see you making less money!"
"If you don't make money, girls will have to drink the northwest wind if you follow the slaves!" The old bustard smiled and leaned over, "How many girls do you want today?"
"Well, let's get a private room first, serve food and wine, and let me and the brothers have a chat and chat! We'll make arrangements after we've had enough wine and food!" Cao Zhen said, looked back, and saw Feng Sheng getting off the carriage, and said to others
, "Second brother is getting older, please give me some help!"
The old madam smiled and said, "You don't need a girl to accompany you to have a drink?" Then, he lightly hit Cao Zhen, "I'm afraid that Mr. Cao will be drunk by then and won't show mercy to the girls!"
"Hehe, don't worry!" Cao Zhen said with a bad smile, "I've come to you here, and if you don't leave anything behind, how can you live up to my surname?"
"You're so evil!" The old bustard covered his mouth, his flowers trembling wildly.
"That's right!" As everyone was walking in, Cao Zhen suddenly turned around and told the old bustard, "Assign a second brother to my second brother who can love others but is not that enthusiastic and can't torment him!" He said with a smile, "
My second brother is almost 80 and his body is weak!"
Ahead, Feng Sheng, who was going up the stairs, held the handrail, turned around and cursed, "Cao Dadan, I'll fuck you!"
"Hehe!" Cao Zhen laughed twice and followed up with him, "Second brother, you want to be my father? Then when you die, I want to divide the Feng family's property!"
"You bitch!" Everyone laughed and scolded.
In the private room, wine and food have been put out. The old killers are drinking meat.
Various braised meats and vegetables, stewed mutton, mutton hooves and mutton heads are most suitable for their taste.
"Brothers! What do you mean by what happened today?"
The servants and turtle boys who were serving people were all sent away, and the door was closed. Cao Zhen, Marquis of Jingchuan, spoke first, "Those scholars who were plagued by the plague are slandering the emperor again. They want us brothers to put their hands on
Hand over your wealth!"
"Grandma!" Zhang Yi, the Marquis of Heqing, opened a sheep's head with a click, pulled out the sheep's tongue and stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely, "At my age, I hope this wealth will leave some wealth for the children and grandchildren of the family!
"As he said this, he cursed again, "The plagued civil servants are those who eat people's food but don't poop on them!"
"Damn it, look at us getting old, they are bullying us!" Dongguan Bo He Rong also scolded, "Earn some coffin books, who will be in the way?"
"That bitch Fang Xiaoru said that a country will not have a country, bah! Without us people, where the hell would the Ming Dynasty come from! At this time, he has five to six people who don't eat good grass!"
The nobles were scolding each other, but no one was right.
The civil servants have opened fire. How they protect the interests in their hands is the business.
"I'm telling you!" Wuding Hou Guo Ying frowned and said, "It would be great if Xiao Li was here. That kid has many clever ideas and can help us speak for us!"
Everyone fell silent for a moment. Normally everyone disliked Li Jinglong, but when something happened, they really missed him.
"Second brother, why don't you speak?" Guo Ying asked Song Guogong Feng Sheng.
Feng Sheng ate the meat jelly in small bites. Now that his teeth are bad, this is all he could eat.
"Fourth brother, the civil servants have collectively launched an attack today. Do you think something is wrong?" Feng Sheng thought about it and asked.
"What's wrong?" Guo Ying said.
Feng Sheng wiped his mouth, "That old bastard Ling Tietou didn't say anything!"
"Yes!" Everyone then reacted.
Ling Han didn't say a word from beginning to end today. If it was normal, the old guy would have jumped out.
"Why don't you come and ask?" Guo Ying asked in a low voice.
"Pull him down!" Cao Zhen squinted, "He's older than the second brother, don't fucking die here!"
