Chapter 35        Fighting (2)

Liufu received the notification from Sushun and used his brain to find opportunities to make suggestions. He worked as a servant in the imperial court for many years and knew the emperor's temper. After lunch, he always had to take a nap. After waking up, he was in good spirits. He summoned his ministers and reviewed memorials. Sometimes he was busy until late at night. If he had caused some rest opportunities every afternoon because of something, he would not be "opened" all day, and everyone below had to be careful.

According to usual habits, Jingyu served the emperor with a bowl of ginseng tea, and then served him to change his clothes. When he fell asleep, he quietly left. After half an hour, he prepared to clean the noodles, wash his hands, and then wake up. But today Liufu rushed to serve his errand tea and presented it with him, deliberately making no words to say anything, "Long live, I saw Xiaomoriko in the noble master's room this morning. He heard that the noble master did not sleep well all night."

"Oh? What?"

"I heard from Xiaomoriko that the stage was built in front of Changchun Palace and she was busy until after the lights were held. Do you know? The noble master slept early and let them get mixed up with it. The sleepy bug drove away. If you want to rest assured, it would be difficult."

"Why are you busy until midnight when you set up a stage in Changchun Palace?"

"Isn't that?" Liu Fu saw the emperor's expression gradually becoming solemn, as if he was very interested, and said from the side, "The Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Works were originally scheduled to report to the fifth day of the third month. Now, there is less than ten days left and I can't get busy at all, so I can only work overnight. Originally, this is something that cannot tolerate slaves talking, but, if this continues, it will delay the rest of the masters in the palace, but what can I do?"

No matter how smart the emperor was, he could not help but get angry. He couldn't help but feel angry: After the New Year, Yang Guiren was so fond of the Pepper House. By the beginning of February, when Tiankui had not arrived, the Imperial Hospital was called for a pulse. As expected, he was pregnant. This made Yang Guiren confused and sad. He had been in Cao's family for more than two years and had never heard of any movement. He had just been in a state of joy for three months, but he actually had a sign of dreaming of a bear? In a few days, his heart was full of self-pity, but the father of the fetus in his belly was such a person who could never be added with cold words. Yang Guiren's heart was entangled in a ball and felt even more depressed.

After using a few doses of pregnancy-relieving drugs, my mood began to improve a little. The reaction of pregnancy arises and I can't eat anything all day long. My originally rosy and plump face quickly faded. Sometimes the emperor went to Changchun Palace to see her, and felt very distressed. Today, he heard Liu Fu say that his favorite concubine did not sleep well for the work of the Changchun Palace. He became even more angry, "Let's go! Go and take a look!"

After leaving the palace and heading south, Liufu was secretly happy, so he took two steps and greeted a young eunuch and said, "Go to Changchun Palace quickly and tell the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs that Long live the emperor and let the irrelevant people avoid it."

The little eunuch ran away from the intermittent road, and as soon as he entered the Changchun Palace, he shouted: "Long live the emperor, let's go out quickly if you have no connections!"

The officials of the Interior Office present were shocked and the emperor suddenly arrived. Why did he come? Lei Tingchang, the doctor in the hall, panicked. While chasing the craftsmen out, he looked for the eunuchs from Changchun Palace to prepare the imperial throne. Just as he was in a mess, the emperor arrived.

As soon as he stepped in, his face looked ugly. He looked at the piles of messy wood ropes, and kept sneering. He kowtowed to Lei Tingchang and others, leading officials from the Interior Office, and ignored him at all. "Where is the stage?" This sentence appeared silently, and his voice was as cold as ice, and Lei Tingchang suddenly shivered.

"Long live the emperor is asking: Why hasn't the stage been set up yet?"

"Yes, it's time to report to the fifth day of next month." Lei Tingchang said stutteringly, "It's twenty-six today, and there is still a ten-day limit."

"Oh?" the emperor snorted in an extremely unkind tone, "If you say this, I'm wrong? Why are you still taking advantage of it!"

At this time, the poverty and fortune of those who kneel on the ground is in the hands of Liu Fu. If he is willing to explain well, or pretend to curse the emperor first, he can relieve the emperor's anger, at least big things can be made small. Otherwise, even if it is a small thing, he can also make big things. Liu Fu was deliberately trying to make big things bigger on this day, so he asked Lei Tingchang at that time and said, "Can you do it in ten days?"

"Yes, yes!" Lei Tingchang said in a row, "Even if you can get it all day and night."

Those who work in this industry in Beijing do have such skills. Of course, Liu Fu knew it, but he deliberately ignored it and said coldly: "Since that's the case, why bother to report it next month? Choose a good day and set it up early. You can spread the show while the emperor and the empress are happy. Isn't it a little filial piety that the men serve the mission?"

This sentence is like cheering on the fire! The emperor scolded sternly: "They still know filial piety? They are all things that are not conscientious!" After saying that, he turned around and walked, took a few steps, and turned around and ordered: "Go and see, who is in the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

This is a minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In addition to Sushun, there is another person named Shi Zeng. He was particularly thrilling when he heard this news, because not only was his own responsibility important, but his eldest son Wen Lin is now a doctor in the Department of the School of the Bureau. Changchun Palace set up a stage to send six Department of the Office of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau

He rushed to the Yangxin Hall tremblingly and handed over a green-headed sign, but he was not summoned. He wanted to inquire about the news, but he said he didn't know. After waiting for an hour, the eunuch came out to tell him that he would not be summoned. However, he issued a Zhu Yu: "Lei Tingchang, the doctor of the Internal Affairs Office and the head of the Imperial Affairs Office, was forced to fail, so he took off his clothes and punished him for punishment."

Next is the fine order, Lei Tingchang was 50,000 yuan, and six officers were fined 30,000 yuan each, totaling 230,000 taels of silver, which was paid on March 11.

In the eyes of those who were punished, such a mistake that cannot be considered wrong, is really unwilling to be condemned. As the saying goes, "If you beat me, you will not be punished, you will not be punished." Now you have to take off your top and pay money, you will be punished and punished. Where can you reason? You can only urge the craftsmen to quickly build the stage, and discuss finding a way to beg for favors and exempt the fine.

If you want to beg for kindness, you must first ask why the emperor was so angry? Lei Tingchang is more clear about this layer, because he was shocked and was so confused at that time. He was so sad that he could find out the crux of the mistakes. The bad thing was that Liu Fu refused to help. However, why did he not help? Thinking about it, he did not offend him! Why did he take this as a result of the injury and killing people's heads and bloodshot?

The suspicion was quickly broken. The next day, the military aircraft was ordered: "The doctor from the Internal Affairs Office will go with Cheng Xiang."

The decree was passed on, and everyone was surprised. Cheng Xiang was young and had not served as the Interior Ministry. He actually served as the doctor of the Interior Ministry. The Doctor of Fengchenyuan and the Interior Ministry were both doctors, but just like the governor of Jiangsu and the governor of Guizhou, the prosperity and decline were very different. The Minister of the Interior Ministry had no fixed positions and had many duties, which was often not much different from the remote leadership. The real power of the Interior Ministry was mostly in the hands of the Interior Ministry. If he was capable and diligent, he could be promoted to the second-rank minister of the Interior Ministry. Therefore, this transfer was truly a success in Chengxiang!

After inquiring more deeply, the inside story became clearer. Cheng Xiang climbed the big tree of Sushun, and in the construction of Wanshou Mountain in the Old Summer Palace, he helped the same person and was smart and capable. In another section, there were two sentences in the past few years: "The emperor's teacher, the king's disciple, the gods' messenger," which means that the emperor's master, the prince's assistant, the envoys of the foreign devil kingdom and the Shenji camp are all shortcuts to ascend to the dragon. One of the four identities is this, and the spring breeze is proud, and Cheng Xiang is both a "ghost messenger" and a status with the prince?

When he was dealing with the guests in the door, he was obsessed with two people, one was Sushun and the other was Lei Tingchang. The latter was second, and Sushun had to express something immediately. So he made an excuse to sue, slipped out of the back door, took a cart to Sushun's mansion, entered the door and knelt down to meet his head, "Uncle Six, my nephew, pays me a blessing to Uncle Six."

"Are you here?" Sushun waved his hand and asked him to stand up. He stared at his handsome and bright facial features for a while. Cheng Xiang looked at him with a little hairy look and smiled unnaturally, "Uncle Six?"

"You are only nineteen years old this year, and you are less than the age of twentieth. You are famous and ominous!" Cheng Xiang did not expect Su Shun to say such words. He was stunned for a moment and said with a smile, "The lesson of the sixth uncle is that his nephew should follow the method of being cautious in his words and actions in the future and dare not cause trouble."

Su Shun sighed in his heart. At this moment, he didn't know whether he was pretending or whether Yu Chengxiang was a blessing or a disaster. He no longer thought about it and said, "How do you plan to catch your guard on the errands here in the Office of the Internal Affairs?"

“…………”

"Say whatever you think, and don't have to worry about it."

"Yes." Cheng Xiang agreed and said, "I think Lei Tingchang is wrong, but after this incident, I thought he could learn to use the method of sacrificing and hiding. Moreover, the Lei family has specialized in its profession. My nephew thought that no matter whether it is the grand work of the Old Summer Palace or the stage of the Changchun Palace, or even the heating laying that the emperor ordered in the future, it is impossible to do without a talented person like him. Therefore, my nephew thought that he should still put it into the hub and use it for the sixth uncle."

Sushun smiled satisfied, "At a young age, I have such careful thoughts. Uncle Six was not as good as you back then."

"How dare you be the sixth uncle? How can you compare your nephew with your little thoughts?" Cheng Xiang said with a smile, "There will be a long time in the future. My nephew is following my uncle, just to learn 10% of the sixth uncle's ten successes, and I will benefit you in my whole life!"

"Oh, oh, oh!" Sushun interrupted Cheng Xiang with a smile and scolded, "You lazy guy, you will be talking!"

After a few smiles, Sushun said again, "Wait for a while, you will go to Lei Tingchang Mansion once. As you said just now, the future of major work will be more useful. Moreover, such talents will be included in your pocket, which will be of great help to your future career."

"Yes." Cheng Xiang agreed, no longer delaying the Sushun Mansion, and turned around and said goodbye.

************************************************

When I arrived at Lei Tingchang's mansion in Maoqi Hutong, Xicheng, I handed in the post. The miser came out to block the host and said that the owner was sick and could not be received.

"Uncle San is sick? Let's take a look!" Cheng Xiang was young, but he had great ideas and walked inward. The listener under the door was an honest man, so he couldn't avoid it, so he allowed him to break into the second hall. While walking, Cheng Xiang shouted, "Uncle San, Uncle Lei San?"

After all, they are from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Cheng Xiang is handsome and has a mouth that looks like honey. Lei Tingchang cannot resist and has no way to hide. He has to come out and smile and forcefully: "How come you have time to see me now?"

"I'm here to annoy my uncle!" He bowed deeply as he said.

Lei Tingchang was indeed angry, and he did not dare to annoy the emperor, nor did he dare to annoy Liufu. He wanted to breathe on Cheng Xiang with itchy teeth. Unexpectedly, he arrived unexpectedly and messed up his formation first. Now he was treated with this gift from him. It was really the so-called "stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiley man". This anger seemed to be only stuffed in his stomach. "Cough!" He sighed, "What am I annoyed? I only blame my passing years for being worse than you."

"Does the third uncle and I still have each other? I will not fall behind the outside world. I will look at this position for the third uncle first. When the superiors calm down, I will remember the benefits of the third uncle. At that time, the goods will return to the original owner, and I will use this to get the qualifications again, and I will be lucky to get the best of the third uncle!"

Lei Tingchang smiled, "You are so good!" He said, "Even if I coax people, I can't refuse to believe it."

After a while of this talk, the host's hostility not only disappeared, but instead regarded Cheng Xiang, who was young, as a close friend, and asked him to go into the study and tell him in detail. Lei Tingchang did not believe that Cheng Xiang could have such a strategy at such an age; and his foundation in the Ministry of Internal Affairs was not shallow, and he would never be as far as he believed that he could dig his roots. He asked indirectly, but Cheng Xiang did not hide it, and said a few simple words about Su Shun's resentment.

Only then did Lei Tingchang realize that it was the trouble caused by his original comments, and he felt very regretful! Who was not easy to provoke? He actually got involved in the living Hell King? "Then, do you think, is there any other way to remedy?"

Seeing his helpless look, Cheng Xiang knew that he was really scared. "Uncle San doesn't need to panic. I'm going to say that before I came to the palace, I had visited Lord Su's mansion. I heard Lord Su say that this time, it's just a small punishment and a big warning. When I find an opportunity, Uncle San will pass by the mansion in person and accompany him. Isn't it enough to accompany him?"

"Oh, oh." Lei Tingchang said a few times, and suddenly he grew up, "It's better to choose a date than to meet the day. I'll go to apologize to the Lord Zhongtang now."

"It's too late now, so let's wait for tomorrow."

Lei Tingchang looked at the sky. It was indeed the red sun set in the west, and the golden crow was about to fall. It was still a little distance from here to Sushun Mansion. It was not appropriate to come to visit at night, so I had to do it. "Then, don't go back tonight. I'll send someone to send a letter to the Duke's Mansion in a while - let's have a meal here?"

"I was about to bother Uncle San."

The banquet was held, and the uncle and nephew sat opposite each other. Although Cheng Xiang was young, he had a very good alcohol tolerance. Tao Ran comforted him very seriously and said a few words, and then asked Lei Tingchang for someone. This was a very clever move!

Not only to appease Lei Tingchang and his group of people, but also to take Lei Tingchang's group of people for his own use. Lei Tingchang naturally wanted to do so, and he handed over his relationship with the Ministry of Internal Affairs without reservation.

Cheng Xiang promised to reuse it as usual, but there was a tail left in the words. If Sushun or someone else handed over it, it would be a different matter. This is to be taken advantage of by some reason, but to be honest, Lei Tingchang can understand it.
