Chapter 26: Mouth Owes
After seeing off Enjing, who thought she was dreaming, Zhu Yijing waved his hand and turned back the palace maids, holding the imperial edict and showing a smile from the heart for the first time.
Very good!
With this imperial edict, I will never have to get involved in the messy court again, let alone fight with a censor, and anyone will be included in the book whenever I do anything.
In addition, after leaving the palace, as long as Zhu Yijing does not do anything like rebellion, making friends with border generals, or doing bad things, they will definitely die, and they will be punished by the people and cause disaster to the capital... Oh, I am under the nose of Empress Corning, so let it go.
But in short, Zhu Yijing's mood can be summarized into one sentence:
"I'm finally free!!!"
"Third Your Highness, you are just leaving the palace, not just a vassal. The emperor still hopes to be cautious in his words and actions."
“…Well——Jing——”
Looking at Enjing who had been back for some reason, he felt that sooner or later she would be troubled by her one day.
But there was no way. After all, it was the commander of the guard beside me. Zhu Yijing had to suppress his anger and asked politely:
"What are you doing when you are back?"
"Oh, that's it." Facing Zhu Yijing, who was smiling and tiger-like, Enjing was quite calm:
"Your Majesty has another oral order for the officials to execute it--since you have received the imperial edict, why don't you get out of the palace quickly?"
"……ah?"
This time it was finally Zhu Yijing's turn to be confused, but he quickly realized:
"No, when will I move out? Is my royal palace ready? Palace maids, concierge butlers, these people have to spend time and energy to find them? Neighbors around have to say hello and give gifts-hello don't pull me!"
Fei Laoji tried hard to break away from Enjing, and Zhu Yijing directly grabbed the threshold and lay on the ground and shouted invisibly:
"The most important thing! What about the money?! The Ministry of Revenue has to allocate 5,000 taels of silver to the royal family every month. What about the money of this month?!"
Enjing had thought that Zhu Yijing would not cooperate before turning back, but she never expected that Zhu Yijing would just lie on the ground and slash the threshold, and it was because of the small matter of silver.
As the chief guard next to Empress Corning, how could Enjing not know that Empress Corning gave Zhu Yijing a 10% dividend after she wanted to go abroad.
Don’t underestimate this dividend. With it, Zhu Yijing earns more than ten thousand taels every month.
Just such a third prince who can make money but stay in the palace and has nowhere to spend money, he actually played a scoundrel with him for just 5,000 taels of silver. No one could imagine that.
But Empress Corning's will must be completed. Enjing had no choice but to squat in Zhu Yijing's ear and persuade him with laughter and tears:
"Third Your Highness, Your Majesty last night planned to let the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue prepare the royal palace, furniture, and servants serving overnight. Your Highness does not need to worry, everything is ready, and you will wait for Your Highness to arrive."
After saying this, Enjing lowered her head again and quietly said:
"As for the five thousand taels of silver... Your Majesty did not expect, but half of this month has passed. The emperor is willing to contribute to his own investment and give His Highness 2,500 taels of silver. I hope His Highness will sell his emperor for a face."
When Zhu Yijing heard this, his eyes lit up, but he quickly started to hum again:
"However, I have used these furniture for a long time, and the palace maids have also accompanied me for a long time, and suddenly I said goodbye very much."
Enjing suddenly felt nervous, thinking that it was necessary to make up for the 5,000 taels of silver before the third prince was willing to leave the palace?
Just as he raised his heart, Enjing let go of his heart with Zhu Yijing's second half of the sentence:
"So you have to add more money! You can make up for three thousand taels, and I will leave the palace with you!"
"One word is certain!"
Looking at Enjing who was relieved, Zhu Yijing suddenly felt that he had knocked less.
But after all, he had to accept it, get up, pat his clothes and leave the yard with Enjing.
However, since Zhu Yijing himself could not ride a horse, the intention to let him leave the palace must be officially announced in the court before it can take effect. Enjing had no choice but to let Zhu Yijing sit behind him. The two of them rode a fast horse out of the palace, which attracted many officials who went to the morning court to look at each other along the way.
"snort!"
Suddenly, a middle-aged official with long beards saw Zhu Yijing hugging Enjing's waist, afraid of falling down, and said coldly:
"What's the point of getting married with men and women? Only villains and women are hard to raise!"
Seeing this official, Enjing had to stop and wanted to explain.
It’s not that Enjing has anything to do with him, but because this person is Ouyang Yijing, who is the name of “swearing God”. (I’ll give you a little bit of appearance time in advance, I hope you can forgive me)
This person once impeached Taichang Shaoqing, Jin Yinghuai, and Jin Yinghuai was dismissed from office.
Then, he impeached the Minister of Rites Dong Fen, who was dismissed from office.
Later, he was transferred to the military department to serve as the chief officer, impeached the Guangxi General (commander of the Military Region) to the Marquis of Gongshun Wu Jijue, and Wu Jijue was dismissed from office.
Three months later, the Shaanxi Governor Chen Qixue, Governor Dai Cai, Chen Qixue and Dai Cai were impeached.
Then, Ouyang Yijing continued to work hard and impeached the following people one after another (regardless of ranking):
British Duke Zhang Rong, Shanxi General Dong Yikui, Zhejiang General Liu Xian, Jinyiwei Governor Li Long, etc.
(The so-called British Duke is the descendant of Zhang Yu who followed Emperor Yongle Zhu Di to conquer the world. The Supreme Duke was hereditary. The Shanxi General and the Zhejiang General were both commanders of the provincial military region, and Governor Li Long was the spy leader.)
Impeachment results: All of the above officials, except for British Duke Zhang Rong, were dismissed from office.
In short, in Ouyang Yijing's impeachment record, there were more than twenty civil and military officials of the third rank and above who fell at his feet, and one marquis and two earls were attached.
This is also the reason why Enjing ignored other officials but had to be cautious about this person.
However, before Enjing could speak, Zhu Yijing, who was so confused about the way behind her, spoke:
"Why, your parents have never hugged each other? Then where did you come from?"
Ouyang Yijing was so angry that he heard this:
"As an official of the Censorate, I have not impeached the Third Highness yet, but the Third Highness insults me like this first. Is this unreasonable?!"
When Zhu Yijing heard Ouyang Yijing say this, he immediately became energetic. He was just about to speak and was interrupted by Enjing first:
"Mr. Ouyang (he was given a middle-grade seventh grade, basically not a good grade, and he is a respectful title). Today, Your Majesty has an order, so please make plans after hearing this."
After saying that, Enjing whipped it down and left the palace with Zhu Yijing.
Only Ouyang Yijing was left in the same place and trembled all over.
It's outrageous!
However, a quarter of an hour later, after listening to the order of Empress Corning to let Zhu Yijing leave the palace and to leave the palace, Ouyang Yijing's anger turned unwilling.
This guy! It was definitely intentional before the morning court!
Never let me find an opportunity, otherwise you will definitely know that the name of cursing God is not obtained out of thin air!
Coincidentally, Zhu Yijing on the horse's back also had similar thoughts:
Old man, don’t let me catch the opportunity, otherwise I won’t be able to scare myself to death!
Chapter completed!
