General Constitution of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 43 Thai Oath
Shide Hall.

Just as the shopkeeper put up the banner with the name of the shop at the door, Zhang Juzheng broke into the shop.

"Shopkeeper Tang, why is it opening so late today?"

Seeing Zhang Juzheng, the shopkeeper hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Zhang Shuchang, you are finally here. I never expected that person to be Ning Bingxian from our Capital Procuratorate!"

"If I had known it was Ning Bingxian, I wouldn't want this money for anything."

"Also, Zhang Shuchang, we still have so many orders here, we can't just ignore it like this, if it's really not possible, I will quit today's business, let's go out with you to sell the orders."

After all, the shopkeeper took out a stack of bills from behind and wanted to go out with Zhang Juzheng.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Juzheng directly stopped the store owner in the store.

"Shopkeeper, what you have to do now is not to accompany Zhang to sell the order, but to go back to the bookstore and print tens of thousands of copies for him. I will pay the money!"

The shopkeeper was startled when he heard this.

"Zhang Shuchang, what do you mean by this?"

Zhang Juzhengwu took out the jade pendant from his arms, and the moment the shopkeeper saw the jade pendant, his eyes suddenly brightened.

"This... this is."

Zhang Juzheng nodded slightly.

"A nobleman gave it to Zhang last night."

"My way is not alone!"

Hearing what Zhang Juzheng said, the store owner finally let go of his hanging heart, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Zhang Shuchang, don't worry, these small shops don't take any money, even if it's to destroy the house to relieve the difficulties, the small shop will accept it, it's just that Where are you distributing the orders?"

Zhang Juzheng put away the jade pendant, then walked into Shide Hall and picked up the stack of lists on the cabinet.

"Master, don't worry. I went to the Secretary of the General Administration to ask this morning. This afternoon, there will be 75 teams of postmen leaving Beijing. There are also [-] fast boats going south in Tongxian County. With this jade pendant, Zhang will be able to protect them." Documents can travel freely in my Ming Dynasty!"

The shopkeeper's heart was relieved.

"Okay, the templates are ready-made, as many as you want, there are as many small shops, and the small ones will go to work."

Thinking of printing the list, the store simply put away the banners at the store door.

But after Zhang Juzheng left, looking at the list in his hand, a strange idea suddenly flashed in the shopkeeper's mind.

This thing seems to be able to... make money with the imperial court's post system?
Forget it, the imperial court is not run by our family. Zhang Shu often has jade pendants, but I don't have one. This kind of dream is just a dream.

In addition, the big event is imminent, and the store owner doesn't have so much thought to think about it carefully, this is just an idea.

This idea flashed through the shopkeeper's mind, but what is certain is that there are not a few people who have similar thoughts after seeing this list, but no one knows what this idea will be like in the end. .

........................

Xiyuan, in the Abode.

Huang Jin and Zhang Zuo were accompanying them, and even the two lion cats lay obediently outside the abode, looking up at the abode from time to time.

After Ning Jue revealed the matter thoroughly, Zhang Zuo no longer had the meaning of continuing to detain those people, and instead Zhang Zuo had a lot of free time.

At this time Gao Zhong quickly ran into the Abode.

"The emperor..."

Without waiting for Gao Zhong to shout, Huang Jin pulled Gao Zhong, and said in a low voice:
"The emperor hasn't slept so soundly in a few days, don't disturb the emperor Qingxiu."

"Okay, it's Gao Zhong."

Jiajing's voice sounded in the monastery, and Gao Zhong quickly fell to his knees.

"The minister deserves to die, for disturbing Junfu Qingxiu."

"It's okay, I haven't slept so soundly in a few years."

After all, Jiajing walked out of the abode, and the people in the side palaces could clearly feel that Jiajing was much refreshed.

"Why are you so flustered?"

Gao Zhong hurriedly said: "My lord, there are more and more people outside Chengtian Gate."

Jiajing couldn't help showing some doubts on his face.

"Huh? Don't the people feel tired?"

"That's not true. Some people went back when they were tired, but too many people couldn't hold back from the five cities, and it's the slack season..."

The end of the new year is approaching, and every winter is the time when the subjects in the world have nothing to do.

I heard that such a big event happened in the city, how can I let this excitement go.

"understood."

As soon as Jiajing flicked his sleeves, he walked towards the imperial case in the distance.

Gao Zhong looked at Jiajing suspiciously.

"My lord, we don't..."

"Bang." There was a sound, and Jiajing dusted off the "Thai Oath" on the imperial case.

Even if there is obviously no dust on it.

Huang Jin hurriedly leaned over.

"The minister was negligent for a while, and the emperor's eyes were dirty."

Jiajing nodded without making a sound, then picked up a playbook from the Ministry of Accounts and read it.

After Huang Jin got up, he also hurriedly left with Gao Zhong.

Gao Zhong looked at the scene in front of him in bewilderment.

"No, this..."

Huang Jin, who left the Abode, gradually relaxed his expression.

"Okay, don't you understand what the emperor's oath means?"

In the past, when King Wu defeated Zhou, he gathered eight hundred princes in Mengjin, and all the princes said: "Zhou can be defeated." King Wu said: "You don't know the destiny of heaven, so you can't do it." At that time, it was heard that King Zhou killed Bigan and imprisoned Jizi, so that the princes would attack Zhou again.

Gao Zhong smiled helplessly and said:

"If you know it, you know it, but we can't wait two years."

Huang Jin looked at Gao Zhong with a bit of resentment.

"I really don't know how you learned in the inner school back then, did you only learn superficially?"

"Back then, King Wu didn't wait for the two-year period to expire, but to wait for the right time and harmony between people."

Gao Zhong's brows gradually wrinkled.

"Tianshi...then who is Tianshi...?"

Huang Jin looked at Gao Zhong speechlessly.

"Forget it, you'd better go back to Chengtianmen and wait for Governor Lu."

Among the old people in Xingwang's mansion, Huang Jin was the only one who was born in the serious Neishutang. Gao Zhong and others were all thrown into the Neishutang after Jiajing succeeded to the throne and rebuilt again before being pulled out.

These people are obviously inferior to Huang Jin.

This is why Huang Jin was the only imperial eunuch in Jiajing.

The more important reason for favoring favors is that Jiajing had no choice at all.

Gao Zhong obviously couldn't digest so much information.

But since Huang Jin said to wait for Lu Bing.

Gao Zhong didn't ask any more questions, but went back to Chengtian Gate.

"Huang Jin is so old, it is thanks to Huang Jin that you are in good health, otherwise I would have been killed by the anger of the people below."

Before Huang Jin could re-enter the abode, Jiajing's voice sounded in the abode.

But these words startled Huang Jin into a cold sweat.

This is saying that you have exclusive power!
Huang Jin subconsciously changed her address.

"Perhaps it is the Lord of Heaven who shows mercy, so that the slaves and maidservants have some fairy air to serve the emperor."

Huang Jin seemed to inadvertently accentuate the words "men" and "du".

Jiajing then slowly raised his eyelids and looked at Huang Jin with a smile on his face.

"Look, why did you kneel down again? I don't blame you."
