Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 194 Officials with Big Mouths

The power of love is great, sometimes it can make a person fall down alone, and sometimes it can also give a person endless motivation.

Because of Zhu Youjian's instigation and inducement, Xia Wanchun began to associate his blood for the country with his love, which made him feel that what he was fighting for was more specific.

But because Zhu Youjian was the emperor, Xia Wanchun had to say, unlike later generations, once asked by the elders, the younger generation can keep silent or talk about it.

Now, the emperor Zhu Youjian and the officials present at the scene all know the emotional world of the new champion Xia Wanchun.

It is the nature of all human beings to have an instinctive yearning for beautiful things.

The ancients were no exception, and naturally had a great interest in love instinctively.

Ever since Shi Kefa knew that Xia Wanchun liked his female student Xu Zhaohua, his whole state was like a stick in his throat, and he couldn't vomit.

However, right now Yujia is on his way to Henan, and Shi Kefa can't find his relatives and friends to talk about this matter, so he can only hold it in his heart.

Shi Kefa had no choice but to take advantage of the fact that Yujia was staying in a certain place, so he got out of the car and drove to relax and see the spring scenery.

But at this time, Shi Kefa saw that Gao Hongtu, the second assistant to the cabinet, was also looking at the scenery alone.

Shi Kefa and Gao Hongtu couldn't help but smiled at each other and saluted each other.

It just so happened that Qi Biaojia, the right servant of the household department, was ordered to come to the imperial prelude to report the payment of money and food, but happened to see Shi Kefa and Gao Hongtu here.

Seeing Qi Biaojia's appearance, Shi Kefa was overjoyed, and hurriedly pulled Qi Biaojia back: "Your Majesty is still resting, don't be in a hurry to act, Lao Qi, I have something to tell you."

Here, Gao Hongtu also came in a hurry: "Old Qi, wait a minute, I have a small mustard thing to tell you."

Qi Biaojia was stunned, and hurriedly said: "What's the matter with the two superiors, but please explain it."

Shi Kefa and Gao Hongtu tacitly knew what the other party was going to say.

Seeing this, Shi Kefa first said to Gao Hongtu: "Let's talk first, Mr. Gaoge."

"No, no, let's talk about it first," Gao Hongtu also replied.

"You still go first."

"You still go first."

The two blamed each other for a long time.

Qi Biaojia, the right servant of the household department, couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to interrupt the two of them: "Can you tell the lower officials immediately if there is anything for the two upper officials, your majesty is still waiting for the lower officials."

"Forget it, let me talk first."

"Then let me say it first."

Shi Kefa and Gao Hongtu argued for a long time.

In the end, it was Shi Kefa who pulled Qi Biaojia over first, with a gossip-like smile on his face: "Do you know, that kid Xia Wanchun has someone he likes!"

"I don't know what Shi Gong said about this matter?"

Although Qi Biaojia asked tactfully, ten thousand horses had already flown by in his heart. What he meant was that although he knew that Xia Wanchun was the number one scholar in the new discipline and a prodigy in the third grade, it had nothing to do with him who Xia Wanchun liked. The official of the Ministry, in charge of Daming's money, food and financial expenditure, is so busy every day that he doesn't touch the ground, how can he have time to care who Xia Wanchun likes!

"You don't want to know who that kid Xia Wanchun likes?"

Gao Hongtu also asked Qi Biaojia winkingly.

"Then dare to ask the two seniors, who does he like? It is impossible for me, Qi, to be the one who proposes relatives. In this case, why doesn't Xia Yunyi come to me by herself?" Appellation.

"The granddaughter of the former Great Sima Shanggong, the niece of the noble lady!"

"My boudoir's name is Xu Zhaohua!"

Shi Kefa and Gao Hongtu spoke at the same time.

The two looked at Qi Biaojia, the right servant of the household department, meaningfully.

Be surprised!
Unexpectedly!

Is it a deer bumping around!
Just didn't say so.

"The officer will leave!"

Qi Biaojia, the right servant of the household department, was quite speechless. He thought that Shi Kefa and Gao Hongtu had something important to tell him, but now that he knew it, he couldn't help but secretly slandered: "One of you is the inner minister (the eunuch Bingbi, the supervisor of rites) ), one is the second assistant to the cabinet, if you don’t follow His Majesty’s side to pay attention to military and state affairs, why should you pay attention to these things, is it boring?”

Qi Biaojia had no leisure to gossip with Shi Kefa, but came to Zhu Youjian's place.

When Zhu Youjian saw Qi Biaojia, he hurriedly called Qi Biaojia in: "Qi Aiqing, I have something to ask you. You are Xu Zhaohua's uncle, so we know that Xia Wanchun likes Xu Zhaohua."

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Shi Gong and Mr. Gao Ge have already informed this minister," Qi Biaojia hurriedly replied.

"These two old fellows talk faster than me! Where is the self-cultivation?" Zhu Youjian couldn't help complaining.

Qi Biaojia left the Imperial Palace as soon as he finished playing the affairs of the court, but as soon as he came out, he saw He Xin, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, saying to the commander Xia Yunyi: "Your son is promising!"

"My father-in-law praises me, and my subordinates are terrified!"

Xia Yunyi cupped his hands and replied, he didn't understand why the always unsmiling commander-in-chief He Eunuch suddenly mentioned his dog Xia Wanchun, he just didn't say that I know my son is promising, but the problem is that you are an eunuch without heirs, so it's okay to mention this kind of influence What are you doing about your mood?

"When you make your son get married in the future, please remember to invite me," He Xin smiled and left here.

"It's still early for the dog to get married, but if the father-in-law can attend the dog's wedding in the future, it will be a great honor for me to be an official." Although Xia Yunyi wanted to complain that the chief military officer had nothing to say, she still replied seriously.

Qi Biaojia couldn't help smiling when he saw this, he could tell that Xia Yunyi didn't know about it, just at this moment, Wang Chengen, the admiral of Dongchang, stopped Qi Biaojia: "Qi Shilang, please wait a moment, I have something to do." I want to tell you."

"The Dugong is talking about the matter between the champion and the niece of the lower official's wife." When Qi Biaojia said this, Wang Chengen could only smile awkwardly and said nothing more.

Qi Biaojia didn't know why, but there were so many bigwigs in the court who paid attention to this matter just for one thing.

At this time, as soon as he got on his horse, he galloped back to Nanjing. The household doctor who accompanied him couldn't help asking: "Now the imperial court has basically clarified all expenses, and almost all the military pay and food have been allocated. The central bank’s savings and the confiscated income of Zhang Shenyan, Zuo Liangyu, etc., plus the end of the tax holiday in two months, the imperial treasury is still full, but why is Shao Si Nong so anxious to return to Beijing?”

"If I don't go home and say something, I keep holding it in my heart and feel uncomfortable!"

Qi Biaojia raised his whip as he spoke.

"I don't know what the master is talking about," asked Qi Biaojia's housekeeper.

"The number one scholar has someone he likes!" Qi Biaojia replied, and the householder asked in astonishment: "This is amazing, the number one scholar Xia Wanchun has someone he likes, so the Xia family should send someone to propose marriage." , why are you so anxious, Shao Si Nong?"

"The problem is that he's looking for my niece Xu Zhaohua!"

When Qi Biaojia said this, the household doctor and Qi Biaojia's servants all opened their mouths.

Qi Biaojia went straight back to her mansion, and his wife, Shang Jinglan, saw Qi Biaojia coming back, and she burst into a smile: "Husband, you haven't been home for two or three days. Although there are many official duties in the court, you should also pay attention to your health." It is."

"I have something to tell you!" Qi Biaojia said before taking off his clothes.
