Ming dynasty grand dude

All the people suddenly realized, yes!

Didn't the senior official just say that, this matter was insisted on by the young master of the Zhang family.

Sure enough, it is worthy of being praised by the elders of the three pavilions as "the unicorn in the world", and he really thinks about me and the common people!

"Xie Yu Chihu, my grandpa!!"

There is no need to bow down, and the common people will imitate these scholars, dust off their clothes and bow down and bow down like scholars.

After the worship, he asked the people around him in a low voice, why did the Duke of the Zhang family call him "Jade Chihu"? !

A scholar over there who went to school explained with a smile that the little father-in-law used the name "Yu Gongzi" as a book of poems and scriptures.

The "White Snake" and "The Eight Parts of the Dragon" that you are listening to the storyteller in the teahouse are written by Mrs. Yu.

The young man's childhood name is "Crazy Tiger", which is taken from the phrase "Don't hide your teeth and claws and be the same as a stupid tiger" in "Sending Hong and Quan" by Wang Zhongmei of the Northern Song Dynasty.

The original intention is to hope that the little father-in-law will restrain his sharpness, and the idiot tiger will enjoy wealth and honor for the rest of his life.

But our Majesty is a wise man, we saw early in the morning that the young man is a pillar of the country because of his talents.

So he first ordered the imperial examination in front of the palace of the three major cabinet scholars, and later gave him the word "Chihu".

This Chihu is different. "Scholar of Chihu" means that the young man has high martial arts skills and is good at fighting.

Chihu often stands on the inscriptions, which is a good literary talent.

The seal chi tiger made by the empress is also a seal, which is to protect the imperial power of the empire.

This is what His Majesty Hongzhi said, Mr. Zhang, who is both civil and military, wants to protect the imperial power of the empire and don't hide his edge anymore.

So, we can also call this little father-in-law "Jade Chihu".

It's a pity that the scholar's winking eyes were thrown to the blind. These people who have never been to school listen to what he said, and they don't understand.

But I know that His Majesty has exaggerated that Zhang Xiaogong is both civil and military, and he is the pillar of protecting the country. We can call him "Jade Chihu".

The official of the Ministry of Punishment was relieved to see that all the wealthy and noble relatives stopped staring at him.

Good guy!He can't have some fame, and if he wants it, he will have to pay for the lives of his whole family.

It's fine for me to be a security officer honestly, why use my dog's life to fight for that title.

At this time, the trials in the remaining streets were also completed. Those who should be fined were fined silver, and those who should be sentenced to labor were sentenced to labor.

The soldiers and horses of the five cities cheered and escorted the people out of the city. When they left the city, people from the Beijing camp naturally took over and sent them to the construction site.

After watching the bustle, the people in the capital naturally got together in twos and threes, discussing the huge bustle just now.

The yamen servants shouted that those who should open shops should go to open shops, and those who should go to work should go to work.

Then he went straight to patrol the street, a little more majestic than usual but also a little cautious.

Those of this master, that master, father-in-law, son-in-law of Hou Ye, all of them were arrested and went to eat sand on the construction site.

I have to do things honestly, so don't cause trouble.

Otherwise, His Majesty will be able to deal with the rich and noble relatives, the city fox and the community mouse.

Naturally, it was easy to deal with this little yamen servant.

At this time, the rich and noble relatives also began to initiate all relationships, and began to send messages and check news to the palace.

The first is to find out all the family members who were arrested, and the second is to find out the mastermind who promoted this incident.

That day's "Imperial Times" also published a commentary, saying "Punishing according to law is a blessing for the common people!"Ming Jun's policy! ".

Firstly, he praised this national policy, and secondly, he carefully analyzed the benefits of this action for the people of the capital.

All the scholars and the people of the capital immediately believed that it must be Yu Chihu who promoted the crackdown.

Otherwise, he would have known in such detail how the six ministries would work together with the Wucheng Bingmasi and Jingying to act, and even analyzed them in detail.

Even the article is written and published directly? !

"Queen, don't blame me for being so..."

After all, Emperor Hongzhi was a little apprehensive, and rushed to the harem after he came down to court.

However, to his surprise, Queen Zhang didn't say anything about it, neither crying nor pleading.

Looking silently at Empress Zhang with a smile on her face, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't hold back anymore.

But Empress Zhang stood up upon hearing the words, and blessed the emperor slightly: "Why did your majesty say such a thing!"

"If it's about the concubine's two younger brothers, His Majesty doesn't need it..."

Emperor Hongzhi quickly picked up Empress Zhang, and couldn't help being surprised when he heard her words: "Oh?! Why?!"

Empress Zhang was picked up by Emperor Hongzhi, and she smiled and told her about the things that the blue-eyed fox cat Ashikaga had come to the palace to chat with her a few days ago.

Hearing these words, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help admiring, don't underestimate Fanbang, and don't underestimate the nobles of other countries!

People who can have this kind of insight are already much better than many noble relatives in the country.

Wu Xun's poems and essays are the way to pass on the family and establish a family. How long will the favor of the emperor and empress be honored? !

Look at the Shandong Confucian family that has been handed down for thousands of years, and the dynasties have changed their family, but their family has never ceased to stand.

"Your Majesty is worried about the empress dowager's concern?"

But Empress Zhang smiled and said softly: "It's not easy for your Majesty to go after all, I just go for a walk!"

After saying that, he confessed his crime to Emperor Hongzhi, and asked the female official to drive away and go to Qingning Palace.

The Qingning Palace is indeed full of gloomy clouds and mist right now, the Empress Dowager Zhou was lying on the couch with a cloudy and pale face.

Chen Weizhen worriedly rubbed her chest and back for her, her eyes were extremely worried.

People from the Zhou family couldn't be let into the palace, they just asked someone to bring a message and tell the old lady about the matter.

Hearing that her younger brother was locked up and taken away, and a large sum of money was paid, the old lady's eyes darkened and she almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Chen Weizhen was quick to support the old lady, and then started first aid, and poured two life-saving pills specially made by her, and then she managed to carry it through.

Chen Weizhen wanted someone to call Emperor Hongzhi, but the old empress stopped her by raising her hand.

"Don't shout anymore, the emperor must have prepared how to deal with Aijia by doing this..."

The Empress Dowager Zhou was full of bitterness, and sighed leisurely: "When the emperor comes by himself, explain to the Ai family..."

Chapter 176 When the two queens in the palace are in pity, call the Ashikaga harem again

Who is the Empress Dowager Zhou? She has been struggling in this palace for decades...

In the end, she became what women of this era can achieve, the woman on the throne at the top.

Although her mind was depressed and her heart was full of bitterness, it did not prevent her from being able to calmly judge the situation this time.

This is not the accidental conflict between the Zhang family and the Zhou family last time, the emperor came prepared to do it directly!

Since the emperor made a move, he naturally thought about how to deal with him.

At this time, if you make trouble on your own, not only will it be useless, but you may even have to ask the emperor to write down the Zhou family.

After all, I am over seventy years old, how long can I protect the Zhou family? !

The emperor is now in the prime of his life and in his prime of life, if he gets into his misfortune, let him bear a grudge against the Zhou family.

Doing the liquidation directly behind oneself, that is the real catastrophe!

How could the Empress Dowager Zhou not know what kind of temper her younger brother had? !

Over the years, relying on his favor in Ouchi, he has offended many people.

Even if the emperor doesn't blame him, as long as he loses the favor of the emperor, countless people will want to take his life.

In fact, what Liu Daxia said was not completely unreasonable, there were indeed a lot of scum in the noble relatives of the Manchu dynasty.

You only need to look at how many rich and noble relatives, along with their slaves and servants, have been verified and cleaned up in this operation.

Of course, the civil servants are not much better.

For example, Ma Jie, the son of Ma Wensheng, the current minister of the Ministry of War, once "responsible for beating people to death, and the crime should be hanged."

Emperor Hongzhi thought of the old man's pity, so he ordered to forgive him and not execute him.

It was at this time that a court lady came to report that Empress Zhang was out to see her.

Empress Dowager Zhou frowned, wondering what she was doing here.

The Empress Dowager Zhou was relatively indifferent to Empress Zhang, until the last time Zhang Heling fought with her younger brother Zhou Yu.

Empress Zhang came to plead guilty in a hurry, and it was the first time that Empress Dowager Zhou had a little impression of Empress Zhang.

Of course, this is not a good impression.

When everyone came, they wanted to see each other no matter what, so Chen Weizhen helped her up and tidied up.

Then the female officer led Queen Zhang in to see the ceremony.

Can Queen Zhang be singled out to be a queen? Etiquette is well trained.

Honestly gave the Queen Mother Zhou a big gift, and the Queen Mother Zhou was also very good at being a man, and when she just gave the gift, she then waived it.

"Why is the queen coming to Laosang's place today?!"

The Empress Dowager Zhou said with a smile as usual, without any emotion on her face.

I can't see it at all, just now the old lady was so angry that she almost disappeared.

Queen Zhang is also a person who has lived in the deep palace for a long time, so she naturally knows that it is best to tell the truth and not play tricks in front of this royal old lady.

In front of Tumubao, the family was a noble concubine.Decades of ups and downs, after several generations of emperors can be described as weather-beaten.

The civil fortress Yingzong was abolished, the Daizong was treated poorly, and the family was seized... All the way to this day, have you never seen any plots, tricks, or bloody fights? !

It is the most stupid thing to play tricks in front of this royal old lady who has gone through three dynasties and changed several times.

"Back to the old matriarch, I came here because of the business in the capital this morning..."

The term Laotaijun is a respectful title for an old lady who has lived under the same roof for four generations.

This appellation comes from the title of "Mrs. Taijun" in the Tang and Song Dynasties. For example, Han Yu in the Tang Dynasty said in "The Essay on the Taifu Wen of Li Zuo Si Li Yuanwai":

"... I would like to offer sacrifices to the prince of a certain county with a libation of pure discretion and shame..."

In Song Dynasty Ouyang Xiu's "Longgangqian Biao" wrote "...the first conferment of Fuchang county magistrate, and then the feudal magistrates of Le'an, Ankang, and Pengcheng counties."

As for the traitors in modern history who called devils "Taijun", this may be the pronunciation of "たいじん{tai-j}" in Japanese.

Although Queen Zhang is considered to be the granddaughter-in-law of the Empress Dowager Zhou, it is also an intimate habit for the woman to call the old man along with her children.

This can still be encountered in some rural areas in later generations. Some old-fashioned women will follow their children when addressing the elderly.

The grandpa of the child is not necessarily called father-in-law, but will be called "grandpa" just like the child.

"The concubine's two useless younger brothers were also arrested and escorted out."

The Empress Dowager Zhou couldn't help being taken aback when she heard the words, then she looked at Empress Zhang with sympathy and sighed: "Oh...they are all useless!"

Empress Zhang said a little blessing, and said softly: "If it was in the past, I would definitely cry with Your Majesty..."

"However, this time, I feel that this matter may not be a bad thing..."

When Queen Mother Zhou heard what Queen Zhang said, she couldn't help but her heart moved: "Does the Queen have any news? Come and listen to me."

Queen Zhang actually panicked when she first received the news, but after all, she is young and has many channels.

It didn't take long for the female officer to inquire about the news from the little eunuch. It turned out that there was no severe labor sentence or going to Jiubian.

It's just that these rich and noble relatives are all sent to the discipline inspectors. On the one hand, the Beijing camp is responsible for daily drills.

On the other hand, the two departments of etiquette and punishment are responsible for teaching etiquette and criminal laws and assessing knowledge.

Hearing that this was the case, Empress Zhang was relieved immediately, and it was easy to say that it was not about the punishment of exiles or something.

Then thinking of what Ashikaga Crane said that day, Empress Zhang suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

Not only would it not be a good thing if I went to hunt them down this time, maybe they would cause even bigger troubles in the future.

At that moment, Empress Zhang told Empress Dowager Zhou everything she knew and what Ashikaga Tsuru had said to her that day.

Hearing the pent-up anger in the Empress Dowager's heart this week, it slowly dissipated.

Just like what the queen said, it would be a good thing if only a small amount of money was fined and the school inspector was arrested.
