Liu Chengfei has been a little depressed these days. With pitiful thoughts, she made insinuations several times, but the master seemed to be a fool and never realized that Miss Liu wanted to make him understand that in two days it would be her.
It’s my nineteenth birthday.
Oh my God, she's nineteen years old, she's already an old girl, she's not betrothed yet, and she's already being gossiped about in Liu County.
But the Lord has been too busy recently and has been absent-minded. Although Liu Chengfei feels aggrieved, she cannot blame him.
She made a meal full of love today, but Song Zheng was unhappy after eating it. She couldn't understand why, she just thought he was in a bad mood because the case was tense and not going well.
She came back from the Yamen and was surprised when she arrived at her residence: a long queue of vehicles had already lined up at the door. Various high-end carriages with tall horses, followed by servants and guards, the owner's identity was obvious at a glance
Not vulgar.
But these dozens of carriages were waiting in line in front of her house in a very orderly manner. She was puzzled: What's going on?
She was the only family in this alley, so she paid more attention this time, carefully avoided the front door, and returned home through an inconspicuous side door.
"Miss, you are back. People are asking to see you outside. Here is the gift list to wish you a happy birthday." The old housekeeper was also a little worried. He was actually wondering why a nineteen-year-old girl in her prime was being raped.
"Congratulations on birthday".
Liu Chengfei's eyes widened in surprise, and immediately became a little annoyed.
The people she wanted to attract attention ignored, but the people she didn't want to pay attention to gathered together. After all, she had been a county magistrate, and she immediately understood what these people were for: After Song Zheng returned to Beijing, he thanked guests behind closed doors, and those who
People had no choice but to beat around the bush and get the gift delivered to them.
Therefore, the absurd incident of the imperial court ordering an official to "congratulate the birthday" of a nineteen-year-old girl appeared.
This confirms that the entire capital thinks that he is Lord Song's pillow.
Unfortunately not...
She sighed secretly and was about to speak when the old concierge rushed in: "Miss, there are more than a dozen carriages coming. Please pay attention to them. They are already blocking the street. The neighbors around here have objections."
Liu Chengfei waved her hand helplessly: "They all refused. I can't ask for gifts. Thank them for their kindness and let them take them back."
"yes."
…
The Queen Mother was walking in the Imperial Garden, and beside her was an old eunuch disguised as the founder of the Holy Sect. Huang Tianli pretended to be a shrill voice and said: "The Queen Mother doesn't know how arrogant Song Zheng is in the capital now. He doesn't even have a name."
There was no concubine celebrating her birthday, but dozens of court officials lined up in front of her house to give her gifts.
Hehe, this concubine is also an ignorant person. She even thought the gift was too light, so everyone drove her away. Those useless officials obediently doubled the gift and gave it to her again today."
He pretended to give the Queen Mother a hand and took the opportunity to say, "Are you just going to watch the great enemy of our Holy Religion having fun in the capital?"
The Queen Mother glanced at him lightly, and the ancestor trembled and quickly lowered his head: "I have no other intentions, and I don't dare to instigate anything in front of you, but I really can't stand it..."
"It won't happen next time." The Queen Mother's voice sounded plain. Only a strong person who has become a Yin God can feel a deep cold that seems to come from the depths of the netherworld.
She walked forward, and the peak ancestor wiped his cold sweat and hurried to follow, cursing himself in his heart, no matter she was a man or a woman, she was a strong person in the country!
"Let the disciples in the sect feel at ease," the Queen Mother said as she walked, with steady steps and a gentle voice, with the confidence of a powerful person who ruled the country: "Song Zheng's retribution will come soon."
The ancestor was overjoyed and suddenly knelt down and kowtowed: "The Queen Mother is a saint!"
…
Huang Yuanhe held in his hand a list of all the officials who had given gifts to Liu Chengfei in the past few days. He glanced at it and threw it aside. His identity was not just a monk, he was the largest official in the imperial court.
He would not be like Huang Tianli, the ancestor of the holy sect, who saw a group of third- and fourth-grade officials blocking Liu Chengfei's door to give gifts, so he felt that Song Zheng was powerful and hurriedly went to the Queen Mother to beg.
He knew that in the court, official position did not completely represent weight.
These are just outsiders, some officials who have high positions but no real power. They want to follow Liu Chengfei's path. They want to be lucky and want to climb up to Song Zheng and then change to a position with real power.
The real powerful people in the court either already have a camp and will not change their position because of the outcome of a battle, or they have always been neutral and will not participate in such battles. Such people are more determined and will not be involved in such battles.
At this time, he leaned towards Song Zheng.
He knew the Queen Mother's methods, but he had no intention of telling Song Zheng in advance.
Song Zheng had previously speculated whether Saibeiti Camp would be a test given to him by Huang Yuanhe. Saibeiti Camp was not a test, but the Queen Mother's counterattack this time was.
…
On the second day of the court meeting, officials from the Queen Mother's family came out to report the rebellion in the Saibeiti camp, which showed the previous confusion among the imperial authorities, and the division between Suwei and Longyiwei was unclear.
So a group of people rushed forward and proposed various methods of division.
Song Zheng had no strong "voice" in the court, so he could only watch them perform outside the palace. After a fierce "argument", the Queen Mother came forward to appease all parties, and then proposed a plan for "everyone to
Satisfactory" plan.
Suwei is responsible for domestic affairs, and Longyiwei is responsible for foreign affairs.
To put it simply, cases within the territory of the Hongwu Dynasty, including official corruption, robbery by bandits, theft by thieves, rampant cults, etc., as long as they were "internal" cases within the dynasty, were handled by Suwei.
Cases such as enemy spies and monster spies are handled by Long Yiwei, who are responsible for the "external" cases of the dynasty.
The Empress Dowager requested that the part of the Long Yi Guard that originally spied on intelligence from various countries be "expanded" and become the real strength of the Long Yi Guard in the future.
However, the Queen Mother just said that the funds for the "expansion" abroad should be paid by Long Yiwei to understand the "difficulties of the imperial court" and raise all the funds himself.
Let the horses run, but don't let them eat grass.
From beginning to end, officials from the Queen Mother's line were criticizing each other, and the quarrel was in full swing. Huang Yuanhe folded his sleeves, lowered his head and said nothing. The officials under him also stuffed their wat tablets in their sleeves and did not participate in the discussion.
Subsequently, this division of powers was determined by the Queen Mother's decree and became the practice of the imperial court.
…
When the news came, Long Yiwei immediately exploded!
How can we handle the case? Or is there any need for Long Yiwei to exist in the future? They have all been driven out of the Hongwu Dynasty! For a time, the crowd was excited, and thousands of households, hundreds of households, general banners, and small banners came to Lord Song's house together
The courtyard outside the door fills the spacious ancient courtyard.
"My lord, bullying others is too much, which is intolerable?"
"Check! Check Suwei, I don't believe that these rats who used to hide in Tibet are suddenly covered with official skins. How can they stand it? Find the evidence of their corruption and conquer them in the court!"
Someone even said grimly: "Sir, just tell me what we should do, and the brothers will listen to you!"
"The worst thing is that you'll rebel against him!"
The noisy voice was silenced by a sudden sentence from an unknown young man. Song Zheng's face changed and he cursed: "Asshole! Get out, eighty-year-old army stick!"
"Yes!" The spirit demon Tianzun guards have returned, and two Tianzuns came out to catch Baihu and drag him out. Baihu refused to plead guilty, and was grabbed by the shoulders and dragged out by the Tianzun. His upper body could not move, but his legs were still there.
Luan Teng said: "My lord, my subordinates are sincere. The court is like this. How can there be any loyal ministers? Foolish loyalty will not end well. Your Excellency, you must plan for yourself and your brothers..."
Song Zheng had a sullen face and shouted: "Shut him up!"
When a Heavenly Lord's palm fell, hundreds of households were immediately speechless, their faces turned red from suppressing pain, and their eyes were filled with the color of Chicheng, which made people feel unbearable.
The surrounding Longyi guards were thoughtful, considering the rebellious words Baihu said. Many people secretly said in their hearts: "Song Yu Baihu's words are actually quite reasonable..."
Song Zheng saw everyone's thoughts and glanced at the whole audience with a sinister look. The Yin Shen suppressed it, causing everyone to feel a sudden chill and fear in their hearts. They hurriedly lowered their heads under the adults' gaze.
"I, Long Yiwei, are the emperor's retainers!"
"Everyone in the Longyi Guard, including this officer, must keep this in mind. Thunder, rain, and dew are all your kindness. The Queen Mother now represents the emperor, and her decision is the emperor's decision. I, the Longyi Guard, accept the order with gratitude.
!”
"If anyone has any treasonous thoughts, I will be the first to spare him without the Queen Mother!"
"Do you understand everything?"
Everyone was puzzled, but at this moment they all shouted in unison: "I understand!"
"Everyone performs his duties!" Song Zheng shouted, and everyone dispersed in twos and threes, but they went to discuss things privately. Song Zheng returned to the study with a sullen face and closed the door, not allowing anyone to enter.
Although Qi Bingchen and others wanted to ask the Lord what his plans were, they could only wait outside.
Song Yu was beaten with eighty military sticks. The two executioners saw that Song Zheng was really angry. The eighty military sticks beat Song Yu extremely seriously. The skin on Song Yu's back was torn, the bones were broken, and the internal organs were displaced. He died.
Most of it.
After he was carried back by his lieutenants, everyone was angry. A commander-in-chief gave Song Yu some strange medicine. After a while, Song Yu recovered. A junior officer under his command dissatisfied: "Commander, what do you mean by this?"
, someone has already put a knife to his neck, he still wants to take orders?
What should we do in the future? Go to the ancient country of Huaxu and set up a government office? Isn’t that just putting ourselves on someone else’s guillotine?"
Song Yu's eyes flickered, he waved his hand and asked, "What time is it now?"
"It's almost midnight."
"Go and see if your Excellency is still in the study."
All the subordinates were confused, and Song Yu just said: "Go quickly." A small flag quickly went and came back soon, saying, "Commander, the lights in your study are always on."
Song Yu smiled and struggled: "Help me up, don't disturb anyone, I want to meet the adults."
