When Shen Ying came to the Yizheng Hall, there were already three white-bearded old men wearing red first-rank official uniforms waiting for him in the hall.
After Shen Ying sat at the imperial case, the three cabinet scholars who combined their ages over [-] years old bowed to the emperor together.
"Please ask the emperor to bow to Jinan."
This is Shen Yingchuan's first meeting with a minister since he came here. He was still a little uncomfortable after being greeted by a minister who could be his grandfather at three ages. "I'm safe, all my lovers are polite, let's get back together."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Shen Ying had already done her homework yesterday. Among the three cabinet scholars, the old man standing in the middle with a serious Chinese character face and a goatee almost hanging down to his chest should be Yuanfu Du Qianren, whose official title is Zijidian University He was also a minister of the Ministry of officials, and was awarded the title of Grand Master.
The left and right are the second assistants, and they are respectively in charge of the official positions of the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and the Minister of the Ministry of Households.
These two secondary assistants were promoted by Du Qianren, so Du Qianren was naturally the leader. Therefore, Du Qianren can not only act arbitrarily in the cabinet, but also control the three ministries of the court. shoulder to shoulder.
After paying their respects, the three of Du Qianren began to report important affairs of the court to the emperor.
The original little emperor was ignorant and hated going to court. The queen mother and others were also worried that the little emperor would get in touch with other ministers too much, and after cultivating his own power, he would lose control. The ceremonial supervisor and the cabinet will help the emperor handle it. The cabinet only needs to send the daily memorials that the emperor approves to Yongle Palace, and the cabinet ministers will report political affairs to the little emperor every three to five days.
The two assistants finished speaking first, and finally it was Du Qianren's turn. The old man stroked his beard and talked about state affairs eloquently, but he spoke in classical Chinese and used obscure words, as if he was afraid that the little emperor would understand.
With 12 points of energy, Shen Ying barely understood what Du Qianren was talking about. It was nothing more than saying that under the assistance of Du Shoufu, the world is peaceful, Haiyan and Heqing, and officials are doing their best. Job, people live and work in peace and contentment, please rest assured the emperor.
Although Shen Ying had never been an emperor, he studied history, so he didn't believe a word Du Qianren said.
With treacherous ministers in power and eunuchs meddling in politics, there will be ghosts in this world if there is peace!Du Qianren's words can only fool the original little emperor.
Shen Ying listened to Du Qianren's nonsense nonsensically, and felt very sad.
From ancient times to the present, most of the young emperors who ascended the throne in history did not end well. They either died young or were deposed. There was Zhang Juzheng in the Wanli Dynasty, and there were four great ministers in the Kangxi Dynasty...and what does he, Emperor Jingchang, have?
Nothing at all.
He, the emperor, was trapped in the imperial city, his eyes and ears were blinded by traitors, sitting on the dragon chair, he was like a young and immature child!It's ridiculous!
After Du Qianren finished singing his praises, he changed the subject and finally talked about the case of King Pingyang's treason.
He stroked his beard and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister heard that the emperor has not given any instructions on the memorial that the cabinet sent to the imperial court yesterday. I don't know if the emperor has any doubts about what the ministers and others have written on the draft. Please express it clearly."
Shen Ying glanced at Wan Zhongquan who was standing next to him, and sneered in her heart, her mouth was really quick, sooner or later, this nail that Du Qianren had planted beside him would have to be pulled out!
Then he picked up the teacup on the imperial case unhurriedly, took a sip of tea, and said casually: "Actually, it's nothing. I just heard people say that there may be other inside stories about King Pingyang's conspiracy. King Pingyang He has guarded the southern border for many years, and he is a meritorious minister, I think this matter needs to be thoroughly investigated again, lest Daying lose a loyal minister and good general."
Du Qianren frowned, and said with displeasure: "Your Majesty, the case has been tried by the third division. The evidence is convincing, so how can there be any inside story? King Pingyang despises the emperor, and his disobedience is obvious. If it is revealed, the veteran thinks that the case has already been settled, and there is no need to waste time retrial!"
Shen Ying put down the teacup, raised her head and looked at Du Qianren leisurely, "Grand Master, you said that King Pingyang despises His Majesty, so why does he despise my law?"
Du Qian said righteously and solemnly: "Your Majesty, you summoned him to Beijing to report on his duties, but he was a few days later than the stipulated time to meet with him. Moreover, the subordinates of King Pingyang reported that King Pingyang was dissatisfied with the fact that the military salary allocated by the court every year did not meet his requirements. Counting, I often complain about you and the empress dowager, isn't this contemptuous of the emperor, with the intention of treason? The emperor should severely punish the king of Pingyang, so as to deter other vassals!"
Shen Ying propped her elbows on the case, and rested her chin with her hand, "The grand master said that it was King Pingyang's subordinates who reported that King Pingyang was rebellious?"
Du Qianren: "Not bad!"
Shen Ying frowned and said "tsk", and said in a rather disapproving tone: "But I feel that the testimony of the subordinate of King Pingyang is not credible, how can he know that he did not make a mistake and was punished by King Pingyang, so he holds a grudge and seeks personal revenge I want to tell you that even if King Pingyang is really guilty, such disloyal people are not good things, so he should cut off his tongue and send him into exile, so that he will know what will happen if he betrays his old master!"
When Shen Ying said this, his gaze swept over Wan Zhong's whole body, Wan Zhongquan noticed it, and couldn't help turning his head to look at the emperor, and found that Shen Ying was tilting his head and looking at him behind him with a smile. , hastily lowered his head to his chest, and shivered at the same time.
Du Qianren also keenly noticed that the little emperor he saw today seemed different from the past.
Normally, the little emperor would approve whatever the cabinet said, and never cared about these court affairs, but today he was arguing with him because of King Pingyang and ordered a retrial, which is really abnormal.
Du Qianren and the other two assistants looked at each other, and sure enough their eyes were as puzzled as he was.
Du Qianren pondered for a while, then said calmly: "What does the emperor mean, does it mean that the old minister wronged King Pingyang?"
Shen Ying smiled at Du Qianren and said: "Of course I don't mean that, but the Grand Master will share my worries, and I have to deal with so many trivial matters in a day, so it is inevitable that there will be things beyond my ability. I'm afraid the grand master will be deceived by those treacherous villains."
The beard on Du Qianren's mouth twitched slightly, his shrewd eyes examined the expression of the little emperor, and he secretly wondered.
The words just now were ingenious, with no flaws, and it was absolutely impossible to say them from the mouth of the dim-witted little emperor in the past. Someone must be teaching him behind this!
Shen Ying stood up from behind the case, walked to the bottom of the steps, supported Du Qianren's arms with both hands, and said affectionately: "You don't need to worry too much, Grand Master, the person I trust the most is you, but since someone came to me to serve as King Pingyang I can't turn a deaf ear to complaining of grievances. In my opinion, I might as well investigate this case again to show my kindness, and to let other vassals know that I will never kill any loyal minister unjustly, so that they can feel more at ease. Guarding the country for me, what does the Grand Master think?"
The emperor had already blocked everything he could say, what else could Du Qianren say?You can't openly contradict the emperor and let other ministers know that it is he, Du Qianren, who insists on making things difficult for King Pingyang.
Du Qianren looked at the emperor with a twinkle in his eyes, and cupped his hands with a smile on his face, saying: "The emperor is wise, and the old minister respectfully obeys the holy will."
The other two secondary assistants also hurriedly responded: "Follow the emperor's holy will!"
Du Qianren quietly winked at the assistant to the left who is also the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and the assistant hurriedly said: "I will go back and order people to severely interrogate the criminal certificate!"
Shen Ying waved her hand and said, "No need, this case will be handed over to Beizhen Fusi for investigation, and you can hand over the witnesses and criminals to Jin Yiwei."
The Ministry of Punishment is Du Qianren's influence, and it was handed over to the Ministry of Punishment for investigation. A hundred times of investigation also gave the same result.
Although Jin Yiwei does not belong to the emperor's power, but is under the jurisdiction of the palm print eunuch Guo Jiuchen, but Du Qianren can't be long enough to dare to intervene in Jin Yiwei's affairs and slap Guo Jiuchen in the face. It's a dog, and Shen Ying is even more happy to see it succeed.
The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment looked at Du Qianren anxiously, not knowing what to do, but Du Qianren was so angry that his face turned blue, and the breath from his nostrils blew his beard up.
The emperor is still the emperor after all. Du Qianren knew in his heart that he could not disobey the holy will face to face. Although he is powerful as the first assistant power, he has made many enemies in the court. I don't know how many people want to pull him down. I want to see him die without a place to bury him. If his political opponents know that he resisted the edict and refused to obey it, then the memorabilia that will refer to him tomorrow will be like snowflakes floating on the emperor's case.
Du Qianren restrained his mind, a hint of sinister flashed in his eyes, he could only pretend to obey the little emperor first, and then make other plans, anyway, even if he got into Jin Yiwei's prison, he still had ways to keep Pingyang King from coming out alive!
Seeing that Du Qianren was so angry that he could not speak, Shen Ying felt secretly refreshed, and asked deliberately pretending to be concerned: "Why is the Grand Master not looking well? Are you tired recently? Is there anything else to play? If not, then go back earlier and rest."
"Thank you for your concern, the old minister will leave!" Du Qianren saluted perfunctorily, flung his sleeves and angrily left the Palace of Political Affairs.
Shen Ying leaned against the imperial case, watched Du Qianren's leaving back with great interest, and suddenly said to Wan Zhongquan who was beside him: "Tsk, why do you think the grand master seems to be angry with me? Wan Zhongquan, You go and send off the grand master for me, and help me comfort the old man."
When Wan Zhongquan heard the emperor calling his name, recalling Shen Ying's eyes looking at him just now, he trembled with fright, the whisk in his hand fell to the ground with a thud.
Shen Ying turned her head and looked at the flustered Wan Zhongquan with a funny face, "What's the matter? I told you to send the Grand Master off, why are you shaking? Why don't you hurry, if you slow down, the Grand Master will be leaving the palace!"
Wan Zhongquan could only bite the bullet and replied: "Your maid obeys the order!"
Of course, Shen Ying asked Wan Zhongquan to send Du Qianren off on purpose, because he knew that Wan Zhongquan would definitely tell Du Qianren that he favored Gu Min last night, so that Du Qianren would doubt what the little emperor said today Could it be that Gu Min was instigating behind his back.
As expected by Shen Ying, Wan Zhongquan caught up with Du Qianren outside Yongle Palace, and Du Qianren really asked him if the little emperor had met anyone yesterday.
Wan Zhongquan did indeed tell Du Qianren about Gu Min's bedtime last night without reservation.
Du Qianren was dubious after hearing this, "The emperor really got lucky with that Gu Changshi? Didn't you say before that the emperor never touches those male favourites?"
Wan Zhongquan swore: "Absolutely right, our family saw it with our own eyes. When the emperor took a bath in the morning, the fingerprints on his waist and legs were still there!"
Du Qianren was not interested in hearing the details of the emperor and his male favorite's fun. He frowned, stroked his beard and said with a sneer: "In this way, it is very likely that the emperor was bewitched by this Gu Changshi, so he disobeyed this official." , when I go back, I will find someone to find out who this Gu Changshi is!"
After sending Du Qianren away, Shen Ying went back to the bedroom. The whole morning was full of chaos, and he didn't realize that he hadn't eaten breakfast until his stomach gurgled and sang "Empty City Plan".
Shen Ying ordered the little eunuch to pass on the meal, and at the same time ordered someone to pass on Gu Min to Dongnuan Pavilion to have a meal with him.
The breakfast had been prepared long ago, and it was quickly brought to the table. Two bowls of rice porridge, several plates of dim sum and side dishes, each dish was exquisitely presented, which made the index finger move.
Gu Min arrived after a while, and Shen Ying became angry when she saw this man, wishing to eat his flesh, but she still had to force herself to pretend to be smiling, and affectionately pulled Gu Min to sit beside him .
"I made you wait for me for so long, are you starving?" Shen Ying put a piece of yam cake with jujube paste into Gu Min's bowl, looked at him with a smile and said, "I have good news for you, I've already ordered it." I want Jin Yiwei to re-investigate the case of King Pingyang, and if it is finally found out that King Pingyang was wronged, I will definitely let him go."
Gu Min frowned, his eyes were slightly surprised, and he didn't believe that things would be so smooth and simple, "Du Shoufu agreed?"
Shen Ying stroked the back of Gu Min's hand and said with a smile: "Naturally, the grand master has already agreed to this matter under my persuasion with emotion and reason, so you should be satisfied now, right?"
Gu Min was stunned for a long time, and when he came back to his senses, he remembered to thank him, but when he was about to stand up and salute, Shen Ying held him down.
"I know you know etiquette, but in the future when it's just you and me, you don't have to stick to those empty etiquette."
Seeing Shen Ying's affectionate gaze, Gu Min felt uncomfortable, and his body stiffened, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Shen Ying waved her hand and said, "Let's eat."
Gu Min scooped up a spoonful of green rice porridge and was about to put it into his mouth when Shen Ying grabbed his wrist, and the movement of drinking the porridge was abruptly interrupted.
"Don't drink!"
Gu Min turned to look at Shen Ying suspiciously, only to see the little emperor snatch the spoon from his hand with a worried expression on his face, "This porridge is very hot, I will blow it for you."
Gu Min: "..."
Shen Ying put Gu Min's spoon to her mouth and blew it, and when it was cool, she handed it to Gu Min's lips, looked at him narrowly and said, "Come on, open your mouth, I'll feed you."
Gu Min knew that the little emperor was joking with him, but even if it was a joke, not everyone would have the honor of being fed porridge by the emperor himself.
Gu Min looked into Shen Ying's eyes, those clear and clear phoenix pupils were full and clear, and all that was reflected was his shadow, the little emperor's eyes were all about him, as if he really loved him.
But he doesn't like the emperor.
His original purpose of entering the palace was not to be the emperor's male favorite, but to kill the emperor.
Gu Min lowered his head to avoid Shen Ying's gaze, and stretched out his hand to take back the spoon from Shen Ying's hand, "How dare you bother the emperor, let me do it myself."
Shen Ying blocked Gu Min's hand, and persistently brought the spoon closer to his mouth, "It's okay, I just like to feed you."
Gu Min's thin lips restrainedly pursed into a line, there was nothing to do, so he opened his mouth to hold the spoon in his mouth, and quickly swallowed the porridge. Fortunately, Shen Ying only intended to feed him a spoonful, so he returned the spoon to him. Gu Min remained stiff. Only then can the stretched back relax.
After a breakfast that made Gu Min feel like he was sitting on pins and needles, Shen Ying put down his chopsticks and cleaned his hands in the basin brought by the little eunuch, and then said to Gu Min: "You go back to the moon fasting and rest, and I will pass on the news later. come here."
Gu Min felt extremely uncomfortable, wishing to leave immediately, so he immediately got up and said, "The minister will leave."
Shen Ying nodded, raised her eyes, looked at him meaningfully and said: "Go, you were tired last night, just take a good rest."
Gu Min's expression froze again when he heard this, he turned around without looking back, and strode away from Dongnuan Pavilion.
As soon as Gu Min left, the gentle smile that had always been on Shen Ying's face just now disappeared.
He picked up the teacup, sat on a grand teacher's chair by the window, leaned against the edge of the window, drank tea while admiring the scenery outside the window, and suddenly asked Shuoyu who was standing beside him: "Do you think I treat Gu Chang?" How are you?"
Shuoyu replied without thinking: "Back to the emperor, you have treated Gu Changshi very well."
Shen Ying snorted lightly, "How good is excellent?"
Shuoyu thought for a while and said, "It's different from other servants."
Shen Ying raised her eyebrows and smiled, "That's right." After a pause, she asked, "What grades are there above the regular attendant?"
Shuoyu said: "Back to the emperor, there are Shiqing, Liangqing, Shaojun, Yuanjun and Guijun above the regular servants."
Shen Ying took a sip of tea, and wrote lightly: "Then pass on my will, promote Gu Changshi to be the young master, and give the official Jin Yiwei to direct the affairs, and take office from now on."
Shuoyu was stunned for a moment before saying: "Observe the order."
Shen Ying looked at the vermilion palace wall outside the window in dismay, with a slight sneer on her lips: "Go to the palaces to pass the decree, I just want everyone in the palace to know, now, who is the one who is on top of my heart?" The one my son loves."
After Shen Ying sat at the imperial case, the three cabinet scholars who combined their ages over [-] years old bowed to the emperor together.
"Please ask the emperor to bow to Jinan."
This is Shen Yingchuan's first meeting with a minister since he came here. He was still a little uncomfortable after being greeted by a minister who could be his grandfather at three ages. "I'm safe, all my lovers are polite, let's get back together."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Shen Ying had already done her homework yesterday. Among the three cabinet scholars, the old man standing in the middle with a serious Chinese character face and a goatee almost hanging down to his chest should be Yuanfu Du Qianren, whose official title is Zijidian University He was also a minister of the Ministry of officials, and was awarded the title of Grand Master.

Shen Ying put Gu Min's spoon to her mouth and blew it, and when it was cool, she handed it to Gu Min's lips, looked at him narrowly and said, "Come on, open your mouth, I'll feed you."
Gu Min knew that the little emperor was joking with him, but even if it was a joke, not everyone would have the honor of being fed porridge by the emperor himself.
Gu Min looked into Shen Ying's eyes, those clear and clear phoenix pupils were full and clear, and all that was reflected was his shadow, the little emperor's eyes were all about him, as if he really loved him.
But he doesn't like the emperor.
His original purpose of entering the palace was not to be the emperor's male favorite, but to kill the emperor.
Gu Min lowered his head to avoid Shen Ying's gaze, and stretched out his hand to take back the spoon from Shen Ying's hand, "How dare you bother the emperor, let me do it myself."
Shen Ying blocked Gu Min's hand, and persistently brought the spoon closer to his mouth, "It's okay, I just like to feed you."
Gu Min's thin lips restrainedly pursed into a line, there was nothing to do, so he opened his mouth to hold the spoon in his mouth, and quickly swallowed the porridge. Fortunately, Shen Ying only intended to feed him a spoonful, so he returned the spoon to him. Gu Min remained stiff. Only then can the stretched back relax.
After a breakfast that made Gu Min feel like he was sitting on pins and needles, Shen Ying put down his chopsticks and cleaned his hands in the basin brought by the little eunuch, and then said to Gu Min: "You go back to the moon fasting and rest, and I will pass on the news later. come here."
Gu Min felt extremely uncomfortable, wishing to leave immediately, so he immediately got up and said, "The minister will leave."
Shen Ying nodded, raised her eyes, looked at him meaningfully and said: "Go, you were tired last night, just take a good rest."
Gu Min's expression froze again when he heard this, he turned around without looking back, and strode away from Dongnuan Pavilion.
As soon as Gu Min left, the gentle smile that had always been on Shen Ying's face just now disappeared.
He picked up the teacup, sat on a grand teacher's chair by the window, leaned against the edge of the window, drank tea while admiring the scenery outside the window, and suddenly asked Shuoyu who was standing beside him: "Do you think I treat Gu Chang?" How are you?"
Shuoyu replied without thinking: "Back to the emperor, you have treated Gu Changshi very well."
Shen Ying snorted lightly, "How good is excellent?"
Shuoyu thought for a while and said, "It's different from other servants."
Shen Ying raised her eyebrows and smiled, "That's right." After a pause, she asked, "What grades are there above the regular attendant?"
Shuoyu said: "Back to the emperor, there are Shiqing, Liangqing, Shaojun, Yuanjun and Guijun above the regular servants."
Shen Ying took a sip of tea, and wrote lightly: "Then pass on my will, promote Gu Changshi to be the young master, and give the official Jin Yiwei to direct the affairs, and take office from now on."
Shuoyu was stunned for a moment before saying: "Observe the order."
Shen Ying looked at the vermilion palace wall outside the window in dismay, with a slight sneer on her lips: "Go to the palaces to pass the decree, I just want everyone in the palace to know, now, who is the one who is on top of my heart?" The one my son loves."
