The Fourteenth Year of Chenghua

Biquge www.mtlnovel.com, the fastest update of the latest chapter in the 14th year of Chenghua!

It’s definitely an anomaly for someone like Tang Fan who likes food to be unmoved by food and refuse Wang Zhi’s invitation.

However, Tang Fan’s identity is not what he used to be. Even Wang Zhi had to salute when he saw him. Naturally, it was not a Wei Mao who could stop him. He had to leave, and Wei Mao could only watch, not dare to stop him.

Tang Fan came home in a hurry and smelled the smell of rice before stepping into the door.

The room that was supposed to have no light at the moment was brightly lit, and it seemed to make people warm from the bottom of their hearts in the autumn night.

He smiled slightly.

After Tang Fan entered the cabinet, instead of living with Suizhou, he moved back to his original house next door.

Tang Yu took He Lin-now it should be renamed Tang Lin. The mother and son moved away from here. In addition, they bought a house in the capital, not far from here. They can also look after each other, and A Dong also moved. In the past, I also hired a nursing home, and there was money for Saner, so I didn’t dare to come to the house.

The reason for this is that Tang Fan and Suizhou are two. Now one is a cabinet minister and one Jinyiwei leader. Even if no one impeachs impeachment, it is necessary to prevent the king from being suspicious. After all, the two are sensitive. From time to time, the party committee grabbed Tang Fan’s small handle, and then a crime of collusion with the emperor’s family was detained, and he jumped into the Yellow River and was unclear.

Since Jiangxi ’s return, Tang Fan has relied on his merits and Suizhou has gained the trust of the emperor. He originally wanted to be named as Ding’an Hou, but he repeatedly refused to accept it. make up.

Because of Wan Guifei, his brother Wantong still holds the position of Jinyiwei commander. Suizhou has always been unable to justify and take over Jinyiwei, but this is only a matter of time. In the years of games between the two sides, the people who really ordered Wantong There are fewer and fewer hands. Today, apart from the Nanzhen Fusi, including the Beizhen Fusi and the Jinyi Health Center, all eighteen and nine are people from Suizhou, so that others say that Jinyiwei now has two real commanders, On the surface, although Suizhou was still the governor and the official position was slightly lower than Wantong, in fact, even Wantong could not take away the power firmly held by the other party from him.

Wantong naturally does not want to see this happen, but the emperor ’s trust in Suizhou is not less than him. Common methods of eliminating aliens, such as the black accusation and the black form, do not work in Suizhou. Wantong had to stop for a while and make another plan.

However, for Tang Fan and Suizhou, living next to each other is not much different from living under the same roof, because the two of them go out early and return late, even if they live in the same house, they may not meet much. Opportunity.

On the contrary, after living next to each other, the two yards are connected by a small door. As long as they can come back on time, the two will inevitably sit down and have a dinner together, although such opportunities are rare.

It’s also a coincidence today that Suizhou hasn’t had much things recently, and Tang Fan can come back in advance without having to nest in the cabinet to face Wanshoufu’s face.

He had to walk lightly at the door, walked all the way through the Moon Gate connecting the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard, and walked into the dining room. He saw that there were several dishes on the dining table, all of which were his favorite food on weekdays. A hip flask, two wine glasses, two pairs of chopsticks, think about it and know who put it out.

The smile on Tang Fan’s face was deeper. He stepped into the dining room and reached for the plate of salt and pepper ribs nearest to him.

The ribs were crispy fried, the fragrance rose from the plate, and it was still hot. It can be seen that just after the pot was cooked, every piece of ribs said nothing about “Come and eat me”, the understanding Tang Master Naturally, they cannot live up to their wishes.

“Go wash your hands.”

There was a familiar voice behind him, Tang Fan shook his hand and almost dropped the ribs on the ground.

He quickly put the hot ribs in his mouth to bite, and turned to smile flatteringly and humbly.

Uncle Sui has first-class cooking skills, and everyone close to him knows that, but he is not a cook. Even if he is free, he may not be willing to cook.

However, there are always exceptions to everything. Suizhou is naturally willing to do it, but the other party is busy and can have a leisure time to go home to eat a healthy meal.

“Let’s go!” Tang Fan still had ribs in his mouth, his speech was indistinct, his expression was innocent, his eyes were curvy and he smiled at Suizhou, and his eyes fell on the crab yellow in his hand. Tofu soup suddenly shines again. “How can we do so much tonight, neither of us can eat.”

As soon as I spoke, I forgot that there was still something in my mouth. The ribs fell directly on the ground, and I couldn’t reach for it.

Tang Fan: “…”

Suizhou: “…”

Who can imagine that the gentle and majestic Tang Ge outside looks like this at home?

Tang Fangan laughed and quickly bent down to pick up the ribs: “You are busy, you are busy, I will clean my hands!”

Suizhou shook his head, put down the soup in his hand, turned around and went to the stove to take out a plate of fried golden crispy buns.

When he returned to the dining room again, he saw an extra figure at the table.

It was not Tang Fan who returned from washing his hands.

“What are you doing?” Suizhou froze with a cold expression on his face.

“Eating, it’s just right, I’ve caught up!” Wang Zhiyin said with a smile, just picked up a wine glass and drank himself. “I invited Mr. Tang to eat in Xianyun Pavilion. He said he would go home tonight, otherwise he would be fined by Hedong Lion on his knees and washboard. When I heard it, I was very curious. What does it look like, ouch, he will not be you? “

There is also a maidservant inside this house, which Tang Yu carefully selected, but every majesty can’t stop Grandpa Wang, and ordinary people won’t enter without asking like Grandpa Wang.

Suizhou has a very good way to put the steamed bun on the other side and kick him on the other’s head *, but it was suppressed anyway, because Wang Zhi’s kung fu was not bad, the two beat each other, and it was unlucky. It will only be this table of dishes. Think of Tang Pan who has been home for dinner for the first time in half a month. Suizhou can only hold his nose and tolerate this person Shi Shiran sitting here eating and drinking.

He gave Wang Zhi a cold look, and he felt that the other party was unsightly.

The more Suizhou was holding a cold face, the more tangy Wang Zhi’s wine was, and he even smiled and said, “You are busy with you, don’t worry about me, Tangge is old, call him out to accompany I have a drink! “

Suizhou was too lazy to take care of him, turned around and left.

There was also a pot of old duck soup on the stove, with Adenophora japonicus in it, which he had prepared for Tang Fan, and he had to check the fire from time to time.

As soon as he returned to the kitchen, he saw a person with his back to him, attentively playing with a plate of crispy chicken bones that had not been served.

The bottom was originally covered with a layer of shredded taro, but now the taro shreds are all picked up by Tang Fan to cover the few chicken bones left.

Suizhou: “… I don’t need to do it anymore, I saw it all.”

Tang Fan’s figure froze for a moment, slowly turned around, and smiled: “You have no sound on how to walk, scaring me!”

Yes, it turned out that the wicked had sued first.

Seeing Suizhou staring blankly at himself, Tang Fan had a guilty guilty conscience: “I did n’t eat it on purpose, I was just trying to help you taste the right taste … cough, who made you do it It ’s so delicious, I did n’t hold back for a while, haha, do n’t blame me, do n’t blame me! ”

It’s hard to worry.

Suizhou thought a little weakly, and his face still had no expression: “You told Wang Zhi that I am a Hedong Lion, and I also fined my knees to wash the clothesboard, eh?”

Tang Fan laughed: “I just want to go to the banquet and casually, you all cook in person, why am I still eating outside, right?”

Seeing the other person’s expression did not relax, and it seemed that he did not accept his explanation. Tang Fan brought a bit of temptation to please: “Should I go and tell him that I am Hedong Lion?”

Suizhou: “…”

Grandfather Wang in the dining room did not consciously act as a guest. When the host was not seated, he had already begun to stretch out chopsticks to pick up the dishes. The two greeted each other: “After being busy? Come and eat when you are busy?”

So anti-guest-oriented and taken for granted …

Suizhou didn’t want to say anything anymore, but Tang Fan was a little surprised: “Why are you here?”

Wang Zhiliang said: “I heard that Tang Pao Lao refused my offer, so I came over and looked at it. It turned out that the Pao Lao’s insider was cooking in person. No wonder you didn’t even take Xianyunguan in your eyes!”

The old patriarch said from his mouth that instead of seeing half respect or flattering, it brought a hint of ridicule.

Tang Fan laughed: “Then you are blessed tonight, Guangchuan cooks, naturally not everyone is lucky!”

When he said this, he put all his heart on the spoon where Suizhou was helping him hold the crab tofu soup. He didn’t pay attention to the name Wang Zhi used when he said Suizhou.

On the contrary, it was Suizhou’s action, looking up at Wang Zhi, squinting: “Inner person?”

Tang Fan looked up blankly.

Wang Zhihao took his time: “What’s wrong with the insider, what’s the matter? Isn’t he the insider after he’s gone?”

Tang Fan’s mouth twitched, and he was very worried that Suizhou was so angry that he didn’t even give him the crab tofu soup. He was busy playing the round: “Not an insider, but an outsider, an outsider!”

Wang Zhi: “…”

Suizhou corrected him: “Not an outsider.”

The old Tangge nodded like garlic, and said without principle: “The grandson! Grandson!”

Wang Zhi looked at him incredulously: “As a majestic minister, Jason, can you still be a bit of a spine?”

Tang Fan happily took over the crab and yellow bean curd soup from Suizhou, and ate a few spoonfuls of joy, before taking the time to answer him: “What is bone strength, is it generally as delicious as crab and yellow bean curd soup?”

Look at what is said, how do you feel about being heard by others?

Suizhou gave him a piece of roast duck meat, which was bought in the old shop where Tang Panping usually went.

“Eat food.” Suizhou said.

The implication is to make Tang Fan ignore Wang Zhi.

Wang Zhi saw that the excitement was not a big deal, and also put a piece of chicken bones into the Tang Pan bowl, learning the tone of Suizhou: “Mao Mao eats food, eat more.”

Tang Fan: “…”

Suizhou: “…”

This is completely intentional plugging.

Suizhou looked at him with a murderous look directly. If he didn’t look at Tang Fan’s face, Wang Zhi was now swept away.

But it is precisely because of this that Duke Wang became more complacent and fearless.

The eyes of the two met, they did not give in to each other, and they virtually killed each other for a round.

Tang Fan twitched his mouth and buried himself in a meal.

The little episode had no way to say, and after a meal, the wind lingered and the clouds remained silent.

Suizhou’s craftsmanship is really good. After these years of training, even Wang Zhi and other people who are used to the palace meals made by Ouchi’s imperial chefs and the chefs’ skills of Xianyun Museum feel that this table is delicious. However, he did not know that it was only because Suizhou knew that Tang Fan was coming back, and he made a special effort to make this table. The taste is naturally not comparable to the cooks outside.

After having used the meal, the tableware table had its own maid to clean it up, the three were transferred to the main hall, and Tang Fan personally made tea.

“It’s so late, and you specifically asked me to meet outside the palace. Presumably something important?”

Wang Zhi is now in the palace, not in the early years of operating the West Factory. He wanted to stay as long as he wanted to stay outside the palace. Naturally, he can also leave the palace for vacation, but overall it is not as free as before, more important Yes, Tang Fan’s current identity is a cabinet minister. It is a taboo for the cabinet minister and Neihuan to be close together. Although Wang Zhi doesn’t say anything, he will pay attention to these details as much as possible.

It would be very important to be able to let him go out to the palace to find Tang Fan instead of letting Wei Mao and others talk.

“Good.” Wang Zhi didn’t have a fine product, but drank the tea in one gulp and put down the teacup. “Your Majesty wants to rebuild the Chongzhen Longevity Palace. Have you heard of it?”

“Not only have I heard,” Tang Fan said with a bitter smile, “Before I came back today, the Cabinet was discussing this matter.”

“Oh? What to say?” Wang Zhi showed an expression of interest.

There are no real secrets in the palace. A lot of things happening in the cabinet, like eunuchs of the rank of Wang Zhi, will soon be informed, but he came out in the evening and did not have time to inquire.

Tang Fanyan said succinctly: “In order to please His Majesty, Wan An is prepared to take this matter and ask Liu Ji to withdraw half a million yuan from the household to rebuild the palace view. Wan’an is very unhappy, let us each set a charter and discuss it tomorrow. “

When he spoke, Suizhou took the tea-making action naturally, and Suizhou took over his teapot, refilled it with water, poured a new cup for the three, and passed Tang Fan’s cup over.

Tang Fan took it hand in hand, smiled at him, and turned to smile at Wang Zhikui: “I see this matter, it will not be so easy to decide, Liu Mianhuan is not willing to be the first bird, and Liu Yinan must also be unwilling, It will be noisy again. “

Liu Hui’an is Liu Jian’s number.

Wang Zhi asked: “What about you, what do you think?”

Tang Fanzheng said: “I don’t hide from you, the Treasury’s income is skyrocketing every year, but it is only six million two dollars. I estimate that there are more than two silver coins in the vein of Li Zilong, but they still have to It is only due to the good weather in all parts of the world, and there is no way to compare it with the Tang and Song Dynasties. The root cause is that the shortcomings are due to the tax system set by the emperor and the emperor at the beginning of the founding. It ’s no longer a secret, but because the ancestors ’laws ca n’t be changed, if anyone proposes to change the tax system, they will immediately be attacked by a group of voices.”

Wang Zhi was a little impatient and had to listen patiently.

Because he understands Tang Fan by his own, the other party is not a person who likes to talk nonsense, what he said must be to elicit the following.

However, in Suizhou’s opinion, whether Tang Pan was casual or casual, even when he was now talking seriously, he seemed cute.

The temperaments of other people are changeable, and it is inevitable that they will be considered moody, or have two sides and three swords. However, on Tang Fan, not only does not have a trace of violation, but adds a lot of charm to him. Only those close to him can see his changing side.

Tang Fan took a sip of tea and continued: “So, every year the Treasury has so much money, but it has to spend countless things. It is often eaten by Mao, and advance to the next year in advance, where is there any money left for His Majesty to cultivate Taoism? He just took Neiku ’s money, and no one could say anything, but Wanan was ingenious, and wanted to use the Treasury ’s money to please His Majesty. Do n’t say that Liu Jian opposed it. If Wanan wants everyone to stand tomorrow, I must also Will object. “

He said a ridiculous smile: “And in my opinion, this matter must not have been raised by His Majesty first, it is estimated that someone encouraged him to take it from the treasury.”

Wang Zhili laughed: “I’m afraid you can’t really object to this matter. Because after Xiaoxiang made a speech to His Majesty, he said that after the palace was built, he could become a bridge between the world and the fairy world. When he reached heaven, the emperor was born as an emperor. There is this palace view in the sky as a bridge, and heaven and earth can’t be allowed to ask for anything. “

Tang Fan listened incorrectly: “Wait, Ji Xiao is a monk. What do people mix with Taoism?”

Wang Zhidao said: “He said that since the ancient Buddhist and Taoist families, and the Taoist family in the Taoist family, this is the Guanyin Bodhisattva in Buddhism, as long as they can spend all sentient beings, there is no need to distinguish between Buddhism and Taoism. Cheng Jin ’s tricks surprised His Majesty as a man of heaven, not to mention that he was only talking about the family of Buddhism and Taoism. Even if he said that he was a reincarnation of Buddha, it is estimated that His Majesty would not doubt it. “

Tang Fan: “…”

He glanced at Suizhou, and they were both a little shocked. Obviously, the emperor was not obsessed with these things to such an extent.

Previously, Ji Xiao recommended a lot of monks to the emperor. The emperor gave the titles one by one, and even gave the gold seal of the state teacher, the real jade crown, etc. Scolded, saying that they disrespected the gods, and sent some of the most violent speech officers to jail. This matter was still handled by Suizhou.

However, compared to national events, these are still details, as long as the emperor ’s actions will not affect the country ’s capital, the cabinet ministers, including Tang Fan, will be allowed to go. Until today, the emperor wants to use the treasury ’s money to repair Taoism. This made everyone dissatisfied.

Tang Fan shook his head: “Even if Wan An agreed, it would be useless. As long as everyone else in the cabinet objected, he couldn’t do it alone. His Majesty wanted to practice Taoism, so he took the money out of the inner treasury. The treasury really had no extra money. Now. “

Wang Zhi did not argue with him, because this is not the purpose of his coming today: “I just remind you to give you a heart, and here I am for another thing.”

Tang Fan felt unwell: “Is there any worse news than this?”

Wang Zhi said with a smirk: “Yes. No matter who pays, your majesty’s heart is decided. The view of the uterus of the Rush is fixed, not only to be repaired, but also to be completed within three months. Then the crown prince will pray for blessing. To show solemn respect. “

“Nonsense!” Tang Fan rebuked, “Which demon did this come from! The Prince Qianqian could not easily leave the palace. Besides, let the Tangtang Chujun go to a wild road womb to pray for blessings. Isn’t it bad?” Prince’s reputation! “

Suizhou held the back of his hand and patted it gently, with a soothing meaning.

Wang Zhi coldly said: “What’s the use of you getting angry at me, would it be my advice to His Majesty?”

Tang Fan quickly calmed down and smiled bitterly: “Don’t get me wrong, I’m not at you, it’s too ridiculous!”

Wang Zhi: “So I came here to inform you that this matter was proposed by Xiao Xiao. Your Majesty has ten □ □. I will agree. I have a sensitive identity with Wyan, so it is difficult to speak against it. Bullying, instead, turned to Jixiao more and more, so it ’s all up to you. “

Tang Fan frowned: “Why did Ji Xiao suddenly put forward this suggestion, he had no relationship with Prince Edward on weekdays …”

Suizhou said: “Ji Xiaonai was recommended by Li Zi Province, and Li Zi Province is close to Wan Dang. Is there any connection between them?”

Since the prince died after reading Han Zao Poisoning a few years ago, in addition to the internal waiter who tried the food, the prince also arranged a medical officer who was responsible for monitoring the prince ’s daily recipes. Those with ulterior motives wanted to poison the prince. The road is completely blocked.

And after going back to the East Palace to read about Lin Ying ’s framing of Tang Fan, under the auspices of the emperor and the presidency of Wyan, the East Palace and the staff of the House of Lords also underwent a major cleansing. The loyal and honest person of the prince is basically impossible if someone wants to buy through the conspiracy of those around him.

However, the crown prince is not safe. On the contrary, his crisis has always existed, because Wan Guifei ’s idea of ​​making Zhu Youzhu, the son of Chen Chen, the prince never cut off, Wan Wan tried his best to encourage the emperor to abandon the prince Zhu Youzho appeared before the emperor to cultivate feelings.

More than a few times, the emperor really loved Zhu Youzhu, and because of the concubine Wan ’s likes and dislikes, he had several thoughts of abandoning the crown prince. Anxious.

Tang Fan was reminded by Suizhou’s words, his brows were closed, and he couldn’t help saying: “Wang Dangxin always misses the crown prince. Wouldn’t he want to assassinate the prince on his way out of the palace?”

This was obviously a layman. Suizhou and Wang Zhi shook their heads when they heard: “This is impossible. Even if the prince is really out of the palace, the accompanying guard must be very strict. If nothing else, Jin Yiwei will definitely lay out his staff along the road. In the eyes of everyone, if you want to **** the crown prince, then unless he is bored, even if he is bored, he will only be shot as a hedgehog in the end, and the crown prince will be unharmed. “

Since it was not an assassination, why did the Prince have to come forward? Is it just a coincidence that Ji Xiao’s proposal and what Wan An said in the cabinet today?

Tang Fan couldn’t think of it for a while, and could only shake his head and said, “That’s it. I’ll contact Liu Ai’an first. They asked me to ask your majesty to stop the practice. If it can’t be stopped, your majesty hasn’t announced a prince I have rashly proposed to pray for blessings, and it will only let His Majesty know that the inner palace has leaked information, which is not good for you. “

Wang Zhi got up and patted his **** and walked away: “Yes, you do your best, it’s going to rain. Niang wants to marry, no one can stop you, you can only see the tricks!”

Despite Wang Zhi ’s reminder, Tang Fan was already prepared. He went to Liu Jian and Xu Pu ’s house to discuss the matter overnight. The following day, the three men played together and unanimously opposed the idea of ​​building in the cabinet meeting, making Wan An lost Fa-faithfully asked for money from the treasury.

It was not just Tang Fan who, after hearing the news, many spokesmen also disagreed. However, as Wang Zhi expected, the progress of rebuilding the Chongzhen Longevity Palace did not slow down. The opposition of everyone caused the emperor to have a rebellious psychology. , Resolutely demanding revision, and no longer need to allocate funds from the national treasury, directly from the internal treasury.

The emperor’s meaning was obvious: I spent my own money and you can shut up.

The matter has come to this point, everyone opposes invalidity and can only let it go.

In the late autumn of the 22nd year of Chenghua, the site selection of Chongzhen Longevity Palace was completed and construction started, and Li Zi Province was ordered to be the general supervisor and the title of the Ministry of Construction.

In order to please the emperor, the construction of Gongguan was progressing rapidly, and half of it was completed in early December.

At this time, the emperor proposed that when the palace view was completed, he would personally go out to pray for the blessing.

As soon as this statement came out, both the court and the field were shocked.

The ministers spoke out against each other, and the scene was far more intense than before against the emperor’s view of building a palace. Even the cabinet that had always been uncoordinated inside, rarely unified the voice and expressed its opposition.

Since the change of the Fortress, the Emperor Emperor Yingzong almost tossed Beijing to the capital. The courtiers were very disgusted with the emperor’s leaving the palace.

Under the opposition of all people with ambitions, the emperor finally took a step back and did not ask to leave the palace in person, and proposed to let the prince to leave the palace instead of watching and praying for himself.

Everyone disagrees naturally, and it’s a good story.

This matter remained deadlocked until the end of December, when Gong Guan was about to be completed, and two other major events occurred.

First, Hui entered Beidou.

One is the transit of Venus.
