Chapter 143: The Taizu of the Ming Dynasty (2)
A few days later, Li Jinglong returned to the capital quickly.
The Forbidden City ushered in the biggest snow this winter, and the palace walls and palaces were covered with silver, which was so beautiful. Li Jinglong, who had not had time to organize his instruments and change his official uniform, immediately entered the palace to meet him.
The snow on the bluestone slab is very thick, and there will be a creaking sound when you step on it.
Li Jinglong followed behind the turtle shame with his eight characters.
"Master, why is it a bit wrong for you to walk today?" The turtlema couldn't help but speak.
Li Jinglong grinned, "This time I went back and forth for hundreds of miles, my thighs were worn out on the horse's back all day long, and my flesh and pants were mixed together. Now I feel so painful when I move!"
The turtle's shame paused for a moment, "Why would you find the imperial doctor to come over and give you some medicine?" As he said that, he looked at Li Jinglong up and down, frowned, "Master, you are really inappropriate to see Master Long live! I don't say that my beard is unshaven, how many days have you not washed up? The family smelled that your body was rotten!"
"The big thing is important, I'm busy reporting back to Master Long Live!" Li Jinglong smiled, "You don't know me. Master Long Live must finish the things he told me without stopping to feel at ease."
The turtle laughed and continued to lead the way.
But he was whispering in his heart, "Tsk tsk, no one can compare to you, Duke Cao, in every way, in your appearance, how much suffering you have suffered, isn't it just to seek credit in front of the Lord Long Live?"
As he walked, Li Jinglong suddenly felt that the road was wrong.
"Lao Wang, isn't this the way to Lezhizhai?" Li Jinglong said in confusion.
"Oh, Long live, you have moved to the Qianqing Palace before!" said the turtlemaster, and happened to meet two teams of small eunuchs carrying silver wires to cover the carbon furnace. He spoke with a stern face, "Where's going?"
"Go back to General Manager Wang!" The little eunuch knelt directly in the snow, "Help all the empresses of the East Palace!"
The turtlema reached out and pinched the charcoal that had not yet burned in the charcoal furnace, and his face looked a little bad. "The charcoal in the palace requires the same size as the core, and it is the best charcoal. What's the matter? Can this be burned?"
"Young people don't know, you can pick up whatever the prisoners are given to!" the eunuch said in panic.
Li Jinglong watched coldly, suddenly feeling something was wrong.
Although those charcoal are not the best charcoal, they look good. Besides, this thing is used to keep warm. What can you tell if you can heat it?
What's more, the things in the palace are not nice to say, how can you work if you are so serious? If you really have to follow the rules, you will have to hang your neck!
He is a turtle-in-chief of the Qianqing Palace. Why are he staring at these trivial things?
"I don't know what you want to do with you?" The turtlema suddenly said angrily, "I don't know after asking, are you eating a good meal?"
"Stop the anger of the Lord!" The eunuchs kowtowed in a hurry.
The turtle looked at them and said for a moment, "Okay, it's not easy for you to know." As he said that, he paused and said, "Go and do your work!"
The little eunuchs left as if they were amnesty, and the turtlema continued to lead the way.
His career was so furious that Li Jinglong was a little confused. Is General Manager Wang deliberately pretending to be in front of him?
That's not to mention that one internal official and one external minister is completely invincible...
Suddenly, Li Jinglong figured it out.
The eunuch, the chief of the chief supervisor of the department who is in charge of the miscellaneous matters in the palace, isn’t it just the deputy general manager Park, useless. Isn’t it that the god grandson of Mr. Park beside the old man?
If General Wang had not dared to pick other people's assassinations in the past, but now the old man does not care about the government affairs, so does Mr. Park.
"You said that you are a group of people who are missing from the bottom, and they are fighting openly and secretly? Fighting cocks and dogs are all roosters and dogs. You are not even considered a slut, so why are you fighting with your neck?"
Li Jinglong laughed in his heart, "What can I do if I win the battle? The king of eunuchs? The world's largest eunuch?"
The turtle was not aware of Li Jinglong's dirty thoughts. The powerful eunuchs in the palace would inevitably fight each other.
Because they are slaves, the victorious person can only enjoy the pleasure of the master if he tramples the other person under his feet.
Li Jinglong was born into a noble family, and he could not understand the ideas of these servants at all.
~~
Not long after, the Ganqing Palace arrived, and Li Jinglong stood outside the second gate and waited.
It was snowing outside, but the hall was as warm as spring and even a little hot.
The lower part of the Ganqing Palace is empty. When winter comes, the eunuchs will send the burned charcoal in, allowing the heat to continue to evaporate, which is commonly known as the Burning Dragon.
Li Jinglong stood outside for a while, his forehead was already a little wet and sweat came out.
"Why did the emperor move to the Ganqing Palace? Wasn't he most annoying in this kind of place that is not breathable or bright?" Li Jinglong thought to himself.
His trick to being an official is to constantly understand the best intentions, because the emperor will never do anything on whims, nor will he be aimless.
Thinking of this, Li Jinglong looked up inadvertently but was stunned.
In the Ganqing Palace, the screen next to the emperor's throne was filled with dense words, which were the imperial ancestor teachings personally compiled by the Supreme Emperor. One line directly revealed the answer to the mystery in Li Jinglong's heart.
"I regard the Ganqing Palace as my main bedroom..."
I!
"The Emperor is the real leader. When he first lived in Lezhizhai, he showed his kindness and filial piety to the Supreme Emperor, and the second was a transition..."
"We must be more cautious in the future!"
Li Jinglong thought to himself, "One should not be proud of one's achievements, two should not be used as a vain, three should not be smart, four should not be authoritarian without authorization. You should report all matters, and ask for decisions on big and small matters. Only in this way can you be rich for a hundred years!"
Thinking in his heart, he looked up again and landed on the passage at the beginning of the screen.
"If a royal relative or a relative in charge of the country is in charge of his own decision. Except for the rebellion that he is unpardoned, the rest of the offenders shall be punished by the minority of the offenders, and the most serious shall be punished by the kings and relatives in the capital. The family they violate shall be punished by the Faji, and the court officials shall not be allowed to report any complaints without authorization."
"Now we will designate the names of relatives' families, the Empress's family, the Crown Princess's family in the East Palace, the Duke of Wei, the Duke of Cao, the Duke of Xinguo, the Duke of Xiping, and the Duke of Wuding."
Seeing these words, Li Jinglong laughed silently.
This is a legal system that the old man personally decided. As long as the families he said were not serious crimes of corruption, they could be punished with lenient punishment. And the punishment must be decided by the emperor, and each yamen did not even have the right to ask for questions.
These relatives' families were listed by old men of the Ming Dynasty. The Duke of Cao and Li family were listed.
In fact, if you look closely, the families written by the old man also have different levels of heights and distances.
No one can compare to the queen. The Crown Princess’s House is because the Crown Princess is icing on the cake.
Then there was the Duke of Wei, the old man trusted the most, followed by his Li family. The ranking was still before the Duke of Xinguo Tang He, and then the Mu family in Yunnan. When writing the imperial ethics of Emperor Ming Dynasty, the Duke of Qian was still the Duke of Xiping, and the last of the relatives was Mr. Guo, the Duke of Wuding.
Li Jinglong felt happy, "It's better to have a good life than to do well. I have been born with the contributions of my ancestors. Not only does it mean to be a master of wealth, but also to be a powerful family, and not to be afraid of breaking the law. Poor in this world, many people are trembling for the rest of their lives, and any constable in the yamen can bully him to death!"
He was thinking in his heart that the emperor's voice suddenly came from the inner hall.
"Duke Cao is back? Let him in!"
After the words came, the turtle shook the curtain and half-bowed out, "Master, the emperor is here to pass on you!"
Li Jinglong quickly raised his head and strode in.
Chapter completed!
