Liu Chengfeng and Zhu Houzhao arrived at Kunning Palace. Today, Empress Dowager Zhang looked particularly energetic and was talking to Princess Taikang with her bulging belly. When she saw Liu Chengfeng coming in, she waved to Liu Chengfeng.
, said, "Come on, sit closer and sit down, and I'm talking about you just now."
Liu Chengfeng was not very polite, and sat down with a smile, saying, "Although the Empress Dowager has lost weight, she still has the same style, and she seems to be a few years younger."
Zhu Houzhao was shocked. She had seen shameless people, but she had never seen such shameless people. Isn’t this lies with her eyes open?
But Empress Dowager Zhang just smiled and said, "You are not in a way. You have too many candied fruits when you speak. The Ai family doesn't blame you. Now Taikang is happy, and the Ai family has fallen into a worry. Now
I just want her to give birth to the child peacefully Chapter 926: In the future, you will be at ease to live in the capital. The emperor..."
Zhu Houzhao said: "My son is here."
Empress Dowager Zhang said: "The King of Chu lives in the capital, no one will criticize you, right?"
Zhu Houzhao said: "If it were in the past, there would definitely be some criticism, but now it is different from the past. Now the law has changed, who dares to talk nonsense?"
Empress Dowager Zhang nodded and said, "The Ai family doesn't care about the reform, but if someone talks about gossip, the Ai family will only ask you."
Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "It's okay to leave a thousand hearts to my mother. Even if you live for ten or eight years, you don't have to worry about anyone talking nonsense if you have a son."
Empress Dowager Zhang's face then calmed down, and then said to Liu Chengfeng: "Princess, let's live in the palace for the time being, and the Ai family is here to take care of it. The most important thing now is to give birth to the child. As for you, I'm afraid you will
I feel wronged and can only live outside the palace. The Ai family has already taught people to decorate your old mansion and repair it. If there is still something missing, just tell the Ai family."
Liu Chengfeng hurriedly thanked him. Empress Dowager Zhang had already made arrangements and said, "Okay, I'll just say a few gossips. There are many opportunities to meet in the future. There is no need to rush to Duoduo's journey.
It's time to take a good rest, so don't you guys Chapter 926: The reform general is hindering her here, it's not too early, so you can step down."
Liu Chengfeng felt that he had been sent out, but he had no choice but to go out obediently. Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "Master Liu is leaving the palace today, and I will summon you tomorrow. We haven't seen each other for so long, so I have a lot to say.
Haven't said it yet."
Liu Chengfeng nodded. It was not too early now, so it was really inconvenient to stay in the palace. After all, the harem of the Zhengde Dynasty was very different from that of the Hongzhi Dynasty. In the harem of the Hongzhi Dynasty, the only few old concubines were the queen.
There are many concubines in Zhengde Dynasty, so it is better not to be gossiped about.
Liu Chengfeng bid farewell to the palace. As soon as he arrived at the Meridian Gate, many people gathered here. Headed by Chen Hongyu, Qian Fang and others, everyone happily saluted Liu Chengfeng and said, "I have been waiting for the prince for a long time,
The prince came from a long distance, so he specially prepared some wine to welcome the prince."
These are people who are familiar with Liu Chengfeng, who are no longer familiar with him, including Jinyiwei, Jubao Money House and Xueer, and the Inspectorate and the New Army. They are all Liu Chengfeng's confidants in the capital.
Liu Chengfeng helped everyone up and said, "No need to be polite, please welcome the air and wash the dust, right? I just don't know where to welcome the air. If the level is too low, I will not go."
This sentence was naturally a joke, and everyone laughed. Chen Hongyu smiled and said, "Since you are welcoming Your Highness, you can naturally take it out. Only the best winery in the capital, Wangyue Tower, can accommodate Your Highness, the great Buddha."
Old Huo got stuck in the crowd and said, "That is, we old brothers come to welcome the prince first. There are still many people waiting in the side of Wangyue Tower. We can't be anxious. Let's set off now."
The carriage and horses were ready, and Liu Chengfeng got on the car directly. Dozens of people frowned and rushed to the place of the banquet like stars holding the moon.
The so-called Moon Tower is a newly opened wine shop in the capital. It is said to be one of the best major commercial banks in the world. Everything inside is a big deal. Liu Chengfeng stepped into it. Although the area here is not as good as the inner garden of the palace,
But its luxury is far beyond that. After all, the palace has too much political significance. It only considers luxury and enjoyment. It has been booked by Chen Hongyu and others. Downstairs are some of the Jinyiwei and the Inspectorate Office.
There were more than 200 middle-level military officers, and even the huge hall seemed a little cramped. When everyone saw Liu Chengfeng, they wanted to bow and salute. Liu Chengfeng led a group of people forward and said, "You don't have to be too polite."
, Everyone is here to welcome me. I am very happy, but your salary is limited, so I guess I have made up the share of the wine to invite wine here. It is better to do this. I will pay for the wine."
These are all people from Qiu Bawu, so I was not polite after hearing this. I said, "The prince has a golden mountain at home. Since the prince treats him, we will accept this love."
So everyone nodded together.
In fact, this welcome banquet was indeed gathered by everyone. After all, this restaurant is extremely luxurious and expensive. A large-scale banquet costs hundreds of taels of silver. This is not counting the money for drinks.
Everyone lives on their salary, which is indeed a bit painful.
Qian Fang suddenly felt that these guys were too unreasonable and actually climbed up the rod. The prince was polite and they were actually obsessed with it, so he scolded: "It's a rebellion. What should I do to welcome the prince? Stay here!
”
Liu Chengfeng interrupted Qian Fang and said, "It's okay, everyone gets together just to be happy. How can there be so many rules? Is this a ruler?"
Qian Fang didn't get the best, so she had to retreat embarrassedly.
Liu Chengfeng then went upstairs with some important people. Everyone hadn't seen each other for a long time. At this time, he seemed extremely enthusiastic. After the wine and food came up to push the cups, Liu Chengfeng dismissed the actor who was accompanying the wine and began to privately with everyone.
chat.
In fact, everyone has their own worries, especially Chen Hongyu. Although Chen Hongyu became the commander of the capital, after Liu Chengfeng left Beijing, although the Jinyiwei was not as powerful as before, it was not as good as before. In addition to this reform, the eunuch in the palace
We clearly came to target the Jinyiwei. The inner factory wanted to control the Jinyiwei through reforms, and even the senior military officers of the Jinyiwei had to pass through the inner factory. Fortunately, the emperor was quite affectionate with the old brothers Liu Chengfeng and others, otherwise he, Chen Hongyu
Most of them are also in the list of replacements.
Chen Hongyu took a few sips of wine, and was full of complaints at this time. At this time, he was complaining in front of Liu Chengfeng: "The reform of Lao Shizi is pretty good, what is it to punish corruption, what is tax reduction and exemption, what is Liu Jin?
When His Highness walked sideways in the capital, he was just a slave who was urinating for others. Now, he took advantage of the reform and took advantage of the great situation left by His Highness to win people's hearts and take the opportunity to take over the power..."
Chen Hongyu opened. Several assistant officials of the Jinyiwei nodded one after another. They all followed Chen Hongyu wholeheartedly. They were Liu Chengfeng's confidant in the Jinyiwei back then, but because they were Liu Chengfeng's confidant, they naturally became the inner factory.
There are many thorns in the eyes. In the past month, the factory has been in trouble. Everyone has held their breath and waited for Liu Chengfeng to scatter it after he arrived at the capital.
"A few days ago, a stall in the inner factory actually came to our Beizhen Prefecture to ask for files, and said that you would report anything to them in the guard office. Hey... what are they?
A group of eggless castrators…”
After Chen Hongyu was promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Jinyiwei, the old Huo took over Chen Hongyu's stance. Lao Huo is good at Xiao Gui and Cao Sui, so although he has no achievements in the Inspectorate Department, he is not wrong after all. In the past, he was timid, but now
His status has been increasing and he gradually gained a bit of a big shot. He couldn't help but say: "It's not just the Beizhen Prefecture Department, but the same is true for the Inspectorate Department. The Inner Factory also said that he would transfer people directly to the Inspectorate Department.
If this continues, will the Imperial Affairs Office sooner or later become Liu Jin's wallet? Anyway, Huo Zheng will never agree with this matter. Everyone knows that I don't easily cause trouble, but the Imperial Affairs Office is
His Highness founded me, Huo Zheng, and the people from his factory really came, and I would like to deal with them even if I don’t want to do anything about the future.”
Qian Fang is out of the matter. His new army has not been affected by the reform yet. However, at this time he is very concerned about Liu Chengfeng's attitude. If Liu Chengfeng lets him go, the people from the inner factory will definitely be arrogant. Today,
The next one might be the New Army to capture the Jinyiwei and the Inspectorate Department. Although Qian Fang did not speak, he always paid attention to Liu Chengfeng's attitude.
Liu Chengfeng just ate the sobering tea with calmness without saying a word. After everyone complained, he picked up the napkin and wiped his lips, smiled slightly, and said, "You guys, it's just too old to be old,
You can't follow the old ways. According to my opinion, there is nothing wrong with this reform. If you clear the government and reduce the people's taxes, which one is not a matter of grace for generations? Besides, this reform was also promoted by the emperor. If you slander the reform here, wouldn't you want to be with me?
The emperor is fighting in the ring?"
This sentence stunned everyone, and Chen Hongyu's heart was sober that he could not have thought that even His Highness the King of Chu supported the reform.
Liu Chengfeng was so happy that he had a bite of tea. He just said that reform was related to the emperor's dignity, and opposing reform was against the emperor, but then he spoke again: "We are waiting to eat the king's fortune,
We naturally have to support the emperor's reform. Now the King of Japan has left a word here. If anyone dares to disobey the reform, I will be the first to deal with him!"
This sentence scared everyone even more and silenced. Chen Hongyu and Huo Zheng looked at each other and looked at each other!!!
