Chapter 271 Zheng Cha’s descendants are only worthy of me to marry
In the early days of the Shen Dynasty, Liu Shimin left the inner weaving and dyeing bureau, went all the way south, crossed the Jinshui River, and entered the Donggongsheng Gate.
This has been his habit for many years. Whenever he can leave the palace, he likes to walk through the large yamen in front of him.
To Liu Shimin, the ministers and officials who came and went in the Sixth Department, the Hanlin Academy, and even the Qin Tian Jian were like all-encompassing characters in a palace drama, and he couldn't get enough of them.
He envied them.
Perhaps, in another world, on another stage, he, Liu Shimin, was also one of the Jinshi-born, a doctor or a young eunuch with a neat dress and elegant official robes, majestically entering and exiting the threshold of the central authority.
Even if an eunuch can sit in a position known as "internal minister" such as the Chief of Ceremonies and the Eunuch, in the eyes of Liu Shimin, who considers himself a scholar, after all, he is still very different from a real civil servant.
When Liu Shimin passed by the Ministry of War, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from behind him.
Those who can sit on a sedan chair between various government offices, are of fourth rank or above, and can gallop on horseback between various government offices, are Hongling messengers.
Sure enough, on the horse was a cavalryman with feathers on his head.
When he arrived at the entrance of the military department, the messenger rolled over and rushed inside.
But now, he couldn't guess why the solemn master of the city asked about Ke Yinyue's food, so he could only tell the truth: "The Ke family is the wife of Cai Hu in the Wei Dynasty. In the Wei Dynasty, she is Wang An's subordinate."
"Can I enter the imperial city?"
After all, Liu Qiao was the leader of the Ming Dynasty's secret service. He was calm-tempered and did not get angry because of the child's suffering. He led people to get Bo Xun directly.
"I understand," Li Kezhuo said.
Zhu Qianyu saw Liu Shimin's eyes glancing at the small box, and took the initiative to say: "This is different from the one used by Dr. Bo. This is the best A'Piao mother's ointment. Old Li, tell General Liu how to use it. I will also
See if you remember it."
"Not necessarily, but it is also possible that the vassal king came to Beijing." Wang Wenyan said calmly.
"Five to six hundred elite."
Liu Shimin raised his tea cup and pretended to tease: "How could it be that the one on the Dragon Throne is the most lustful, and the Zheng family is the one among them. How can it be compared with the beautiful ones that Concubine Zheng sent to Qianqing Palace? Besides,
I’m getting older too…”
"Oh?" Zhu Qianyu squinted his eyes and said, "Let's not talk about the loyalty of Quanquan, but he is quite capable. I heard that the wet nurse next to the emperor's eldest son wanted to punish her. Somehow, the wet nurse was kicked out of the palace.
.”
"Okay, I understand," Zhu Qianyu suddenly changed the subject, "General Liu, do you think Zhu Changluo would like this granddaughter of the Zheng family?"
"No, our Jinyi Guards are investigating the case for Long Live Lord. Guarding the imperial city is the responsibility of Jin Wu, Yu Lin, Hu Ben and other guards."
Zheng Haizhu followed the two of them into the room and sat down. She frowned and said to Liu Qiao with a heart-wrenching look: "Old madam and sister-in-law, you should be very distressed. Governor Liu, I am sure that as soon as I learned that the doctor was using different medicines,
I came to inform the Governor. If it could be done faster and take less medicine, it would be fine."
When Liu Shimin heard this, he sighed in his heart. He and Princess Miao tried to stop him in a subtle way, but it seemed that it was still difficult to dispel the Holy Lord's idea.
"Haha, brother, you are from the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry? No wonder you don't know the side affairs. Nurhaci, who founded the Ministry, swallowed up the Ye He tribe, and unified all the Jurchen tribes. After some rest, he will attack me in Liaodong again if necessary."
Deep in Liu Shimin's heart, he had always had the idea of protecting Zheng Haizhu, and always wanted to block some trouble for her in front of Zhu Qianyu.
Near the Ministry of War, officials from the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry and the Yamen of the Ministry of Civil Affairs were also preparing to go home after their shift. Several of them passed by Liu Shimin and talked lightly with each other.
"Then, what if there is a sudden danger and the imperial guards guarding the city cannot take care of it? Can the imperial guards enter the palace to protect it? After all, the other imperial guards are still affiliated with the Ministry of War. Only you, the imperial guards, will only listen to Long live the Lord."
But Liu Shimin still cheered up and prepared to tell some news.
"Thank you, Mrs. Zheng, for saving the dog."
Liu Qiao waved his hands and said: "Mrs. Zheng, don't say that. It has only been ten days since I told you that the child was lethargic. The hands and feet of my wife and several of her subordinates are much faster than mine. Following the reminder from both of you, I have also told my mother not to expose the doctor's skin first, and then accept the medicine as usual. Although my family has a hereditary lineage of royal guards, when it comes to raiding the house and arresting people, they always act in accordance with the order, but it is a bit offending. A Beijing official or a local official has nothing to do with this doctor from Shanxi. Let's wait and see why he drugged my child."
"The Ye He tribe is the remnant of the Northern Yuan Dynasty?"
Zheng Haizhu muttered: "I don't think it's seeking personal revenge. Otherwise, I would kill your wife, children, and children, right? It seems more like using so-called medical skills to approach you, and then take the safety of your father-in-law and son as a priority. I'm blackmailing you to do something. Governor Liu, I would like to ask, if you don't go through Commander Luo, how many Jin Yiwei can you mobilize?"
Zhu Qianyu was in Wang's age and was only three or four years older than Zheng Haizhu. At this time, he was talking about "little granddaughter" and "playing", which sounded to Liu Shimin as a deliberate and clumsy intimacy.
Li Kezhuo has known Liu Shimin's position in this dark world for several years, so he said in a humble tone: "General Liu, this thing can kill people. You only need to take one or two ounces every twelve hours, so if you imitate it, The red pills made by the Taoist nuns under Concubine Cheng Zheng are of the same size, two pills are enough."
He paused and added: "Your Highness, when Zheng came to Beijing, in addition to dealing with the impeachment of Songjiang Switch and Firearms Factory by the Zhejiang Party, he also wanted to renew his friendship with Donglin civil servants and the royal family. The first one can be It will be a good thing for us to continue to keep Wusong's sea route open and the guns and artillery to work as usual. As for the latter incident, I think it was because she wanted to rely on her own business, not because she had any loyalty to the family on the throne."
The inner court has always had eyes and ears set up by the Holy Lord. Even if Liu Shimin didn't tell him, Zhu Qianyu could also find out from other hidden sources.
He immediately responded: "Well, yes, that wet nurse's name is Keshi."
Liu Qiao froze, stared at Zheng Haizhu's burning eyes, and asked in confusion: "What danger is there? Mongolian Tatars coming to attack?"
Zhu Qianyu fell into a brief silence, but his expression was clearly amused as he was thinking.
…
"Well, there is no rush to use it now," Zhu Qianyu said in a gentle tone, "I tried it several times when I was in Nanyang. If you are weak, take it with wine and swallow four or five qian, and you will be dead. Wait for Zhu Changluo to indulge again. , if I can save one at that time, I will keep it for his son."
After a while, he asked Liu Shimin again: "That wet nurse is very beautiful and has been in the imperial court for many years. She must have a father-in-law who loves her. What is her name?"
Zhu Qianyu took a sip of fragrant tea, curled up the corners of his lips, and said in a quiet voice: "You are not very old, and he is about the same as Gu Zheng. Zheng Qia is my assistant minister of Jianwen lineage. He was first-class loyal back then, and he did not hesitate to take risks. The calamity of destroying the family has allowed the Pujiang hometown to open its doors to welcome the Jianwen ancestors. The descendants of Zheng Qia, our Zhu family, should naturally protect them."
The soldier guarding the gate of the Ministry of War, with his head hanging down, pulled the horse to the wall and threw a few handfuls of hay. The slow and leisurely rhythm was in sharp contrast to the express knight who had just entered.
Liu Shimin nodded, indicating that he understood.
That man was none other than Li Kezhuo, the chief minister of Honglu Temple.
In the evening, when Zheng Haizhu stepped into Wang Wenyan's courtyard, Liu Qiao, the governor of Fusi in Beizhen, immediately greeted him.
Zheng Haizhu hurriedly returned the courtesy and glanced at Wang Wenyan who was nearby.
When Zhu Qianyu returned to the courtyard again, as usual, he first cooked a cup of tea for Liu Shimin before sitting down and asking: "How is Mr. Zheng Ge's charming little granddaughter enjoying playing in the Wenhua Hall?"
Liu Shimin was stunned, Zhu Qianyu really knew a lot.
Li Kezhuo showed a flattered expression, slightly hunched shoulders, and walked out of the inner courtyard accompanied by his handsome master.
Wang Wenyan came over and said, "Madam, don't worry. As jailers, we have a prescription to cure the addiction to aphrodisiac. However, children's intestines and stomachs are so delicate that the antidote must not be too strong. Therefore, it is inevitable that Mr. Liu will often feel this." Crying."
About half an hour later, in the hidden courtyard next to Fahua Temple, Zhu Qianyu, after listening to Liu Shimin's report on the recent situation in the inner court, ordered his men to bring a small box and give it to the man standing next to Liu Shimin.
"Your Highness, I still want to be with Zheng..."
"Oh, so the Jurchens started fighting among themselves? That's a good thing, that's a good thing."
Liu Shimin suffered from microbial diaphragm reaction.
Zhu Qianyu stood up with a smile: "I'll take Lao Li out."
"What? That's not Mongolian, it's Jurchen."
"Fushun Guantang reported that the Ministry of Construction captured the east city of Ye Hebu."
Liu Shimin glanced at the green-robed official who spoke last, quickened his pace, and soon turned to Qipan Street, found the servant who had been waiting for him for a long time, and got into the carriage.
Liu Shimin then pretended to be disapproving and said: "That girl, a woman, is more happy to be able to enter the Wenhua Palace than to be able to get the imperial decree. She is indeed very careful. She made all kinds of wooden gadgets and cannons. A man who travels by car or ship, and tries his best to make the princes happy."
"I want to marry her." Zhu Qianyu glanced sideways at Liu Shimin and said bluntly.
Liu Qiao bowed deeply and spoke sincerely.
Liu Qiao then looked at Wang Wenyan again.
He had briefly known this Donglin counselor before, but was not familiar with him. This time, he was introduced by Zheng Haizhu and benefited from him, so he naturally treated him with extra courtesy.
"Mr. Wang, which vassal king?" Liu Qiao weighed his tone and said, "Let's say something disobedient behind closed doors. Nowadays, these vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty are all Xiaoyao princes. It is very difficult for them to rebel and get out of their fiefdoms. Can I still enter Beijing?"
After thinking for a while, he then said: "Are you suspicious of King Fu? Do you think that although King Fu is far away in Luoyang, his uncle, Concubine Zheng's brother, is the governor of the capital camp, and the concubine's trusted brother, Eunuch Cui, leads the patrol camp. So the noble concubine dares to rebel on behalf of Prince Fu?"
Zheng Haizhu said: "Given that Concubine Zheng's mind is not worthy of her ambition, maybe she can really do it. Governor Liu, let's keep an eye on the strange things you have caused here. There is another strange thing. I want to inform Governor Liu that your young talent from Beizhen Fusi, Gu Qingquan, seems to be keeping an eye on me."
