Chapter 334

"Don't worry Zhou Aiqing, I know your loyalty, and I won't make things difficult for you." After a while, Emperor Wanli comforted Zhang Qingfeng.

"Long live thanks!" Zhang Qingfeng quickly kowtowed in thanks.

Traveling to the Ming and Qing dynasties, the bad thing is that you have to bow down when you see the emperor, unlike the Song Dynasty, you only need to bend down and bow your hands to salute when you see the emperor.

"I didn't expect that I trusted them so much, and they would repay me like this, okay, very good."

"Zhou Aiqing, please go back first. I will let the Jin Yiwei investigate this matter and you will not be involved." Emperor Wanli said to Zhang Qingfeng.

"Then, I will leave." Upon hearing Emperor Wanli's words, Zhang Qingfeng kowtowed again and left.

After Zhang Qingfeng left, he went straight back to the Machine Bureau.

Today, he said so much to Emperor Wanli at the risk of offending others, and he had thought it through.

First of all, it was indeed the tax superintendent who acted recklessly and destroyed the people's confidence in the Ming Dynasty.

Furthermore, after letting Emperor Wanli know about this matter, some rectification may be able to reduce some criticism.

In addition, he needs to show his loyalty to the emperor and gain greater rights at the same time.

Although the Machinery Manufacturing Bureau gave him some rights to do some things, he still wanted greater rights.

Half a month after meeting Zhang Qingfeng, Emperor Wanli finally agreed to abolish some tax supervisors, and then replace a group of tax supervisors with a bad reputation.

This compromise of Emperor Wanli caused all civil and military officials to celebrate.

Although they have not completely let Emperor Wanli give up the tax supervisor, they have already seen hope.

…………

After Zhang Qingfeng spoke with Emperor Wanli, in the next few months, Emperor Wanli ordered many eunuchs to be executed, and most of them were tax supervisors released outside.

At the same time, the two eunuchs of Bingbi, the supervisor of ceremonies, were assigned to the Shangyi Bureau for the elderly. In the former 24 yamen, several eunuchs with palm prints were directly executed.

In addition to these eunuchs, hundreds of people, large and small, were implicated, and those who were finally executed were executed, and those who were assigned were assigned.

The eunuchs next to Emperor Wanli were completely replaced.

For a moment, an atmosphere of tension and fear formed in the entire palace.

Next, whether it is the eunuch or the maid, they are extremely cautious in what they do and say, for fear of being implicated.

No one knows that this time Emperor Wanli went on a killing spree and caused such a big fuss all because Zhang Qingfeng complained to Emperor Wanli.

Zhang Qingfeng was in the Machine Manufacturing Bureau. In addition to continuing to study only machine tools, steam engines and various machines, he was also in charge of teaching at Daming University of Technology.

The Daming University of Technology has just started classes, and he must check it out to prevent the students from being misled by a group of Confucian scholars and scholars. These students will be of great use to him in the future.

Many scholars couldn't understand the textbooks written by Zhang Qingfeng, so Zhang Qingfeng just asked them to teach students how to read and write first.

Then, Zhang Qingfeng began to train these talented teachers, teaching them about mathematics, physics and chemistry.

Only after these teachers have learned this knowledge, Zhang Qingfeng will let them teach students.

Therefore, in addition to being responsible for the operation of the school, Zhang Qingfeng is teaching more than 200 school teachers every night.

Now Zhang Qingfeng is recognized as the number one genius in the Ming Dynasty, and his knowledge is unparalleled, so the eunuch Zhang Qingfeng taught them knowledge, and the scholars did not reject him.

"Your Majesty, I found out that Concubine Gong is living a very good life in Jingyang Palace. She eats well and sleeps well every day, and there are eunuchs and maids serving her..."

In Yikun Palace, an old eunuch reported to Concubine Zhen what he saw.

"What..." Upon hearing the old eunuch's words, Concubine Zheng's expression darkened immediately.

"Go, have someone bring me all the eunuchs and ladies from Jingyang Palace." Concubine Zheng said to the old eunuch.

Under the order of Concubine Zheng, soon, more than a dozen eunuchs and maids in Jingyang Palace were all brought in front of Concubine Zheng.

"I heard that you served Concubine Gong well in Jingyang Palace?" Concubine Zheng looked at the dozen or so eunuchs and court ladies kneeling in front of her, and asked with a frosty expression.

"Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

Hearing Concubine Zheng's words, everyone's expressions changed instantly.

"Tell me, who asked you to serve Concubine Gong well?" Concubine Zheng asked sternly to a group of eunuchs and maids.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, I am forced to do this..." A eunuch kowtowed to Concubine Zheng and said.

"Forced? Someone, drag him down to this palace and beat him to death." Concubine Zheng gave the order with a frosty face.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please spare my life. It was Manager Wang and Zhou Zhangyin who ordered us to be kind to Concubine Gong." The eunuch was frightened and begged for mercy while trembling and crying.

"Which king is in charge? Which week's palm print?" Concubine Zheng asked the maid.

"Steward Wang is Steward Wang Bin Wang, and the palm seal of Zhou is Zhou Qingfeng, the eunuch of the Machinery Manufacturing Bureau."

"Wang Bin? Zhou Qingfeng?" Hearing these two names, Zheng Guifei's expression became a little disbelieving.

"Go and ask Zhou Qingfeng to come see me." Concubine Zheng said to a young eunuch beside her.

"No." Hearing Concubine Zheng's words, the eunuch agreed and left Yikun Palace.

"Go on, tell me everything you know..."

When Zhang Qingfeng was called to Yikun Palace, he saw more than a dozen court ladies and eunuchs kneeling on the stone slab outside the gate of Yikun Palace.

Concubine Zheng placed a chair at the entrance of Yikun Palace to sit on it.

Seeing Zhang Qingfeng coming, Concubine Zheng looked at him very coldly.

Seeing this look in his eyes, Zhang Qingfeng groaned inwardly. Looking at the dozen or so eunuchs and maids kneeling on the ground, Zhang Qingfeng's heart skipped a beat.

"I have seen the imperial concubine." Zhang Qingfeng bravely came to Concubine Zheng, and then directly knelt down to pay respects to Concubine Zheng.

"Zhou Qingfeng, you're fine. I never thought you'd belong to Concubine Gong." Concubine Zheng spoke to Zhang Qingfeng in an extremely cold tone.

"Your Majesty, how could the young one belong to Concubine Gong? You are wronged! You are wronged, Madam." Hearing Concubine Zheng's words, Zhang Qingfeng had a look of "fear".

"Your Majesty, my little one's loyalty to you over the past few years can be learned from the sun and the moon. Ma'am, think about it. In the past few years, my little one, have you ever done anything wrong to you? My little one must have been wronged by others, Your Majesty." Zhang Qingfeng cried to Concubine Zheng with snot and tears, and said that his acting skills were beyond the mark.

"Do you know these eunuchs and maids?" Concubine Zheng asked Zhang Qingfeng coldly, pointing to a group of eunuchs and maids kneeling on the ground.

"Go back to your mother, let's get to know each other better." Zhang Qingfeng didn't dare to tell lies.

"These people said that you ordered them to take care of Concubine Gong? What do you say?" Concubine Zheng continued to ask Zhang Qingfeng in a cold tone.

Hearing this, Zhang Qingfeng's head was thinking quickly.
