Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 90 The Crazy Zhang Shenyan
Zhu Youjian did not observe Gao Jie carefully during the court meeting.

At this time, when he personally summoned Gao Jie, he had to admit that this Gao Jie was indeed handsome, but not lacking in masculine beauty. Even Zhu Youjian felt that he was quite suitable for a guard of honor A big man in brocade clothes.

Thinking about it this way, it's no wonder that Gao Jie can make Li Zicheng wear a cuckold and become the Ming version of "The Old King Next Door".

"I heard that you are going to Suzhou to search for beauties, but how many do you plan to collect? Do you plan to find a few for me?"

Zhu Youjian spoke indifferently, then got up and walked to Gao Jie, looking down at Gao Jie from a high position.

Gao Jie didn't expect that the joke between himself and Liu Fangliang would reach His Majesty's ears so quickly, so he couldn't help laughing.

But Gao Jie, who is capable of stealing his sister-in-law, naturally has no scheming, and can't understand the meaning of Zhu Youjian's words, thinking that His Majesty the Emperor is just like him because of his lustful nature, so he hurriedly patted his chest:

"Your Majesty, you can rest assured that I will leave the most stunning one to you. I heard that Bian Yujing is in Suzhou now, and I will definitely find you when the time comes."

Before Gao Jie finished speaking, Zhu Youjian picked up the memorabilia on the table and threw it at Gao Jie's face: "You stupid thing, I didn't ask you to go to Suzhou to be a flower picker!"

Gao Jie hurriedly caught the memorial and scratched his head, expressing that he didn't know.

Zhu Youjian pointed at Gao Jie speechlessly, "Do you know who has the most people in Susong?"

"I know, women are the most. Hehe, there are many boat girls and tea pickers. I heard that any woman is so tender that she can squeeze out water. Unlike the people in our place who are rough and thick, just like a man."

When Gao Jie said this, Zhu Youjian couldn't help but chuckled: "That's right, there are many beauties in that place, and because there are so many beauties, there are many scholars and scholars looking for flowers, there are also many literati who complain, and there are also many dishonest scholar-bureaucrats." , I don't want you to go to Suzhou and only compete with them for women, you know?"

Only then did Gao Jie understand, thinking that His Majesty sent him to Suzhou to take care of those scholars.

After turning around, Gao Jie replied: I know, Your Majesty, please rest assured, I know how to manage this group of scholars and reason with them. I, Gao Jie, can't beat them, but when it comes to fighting, they are not I'm Gao Jie's opponent, I'll take care of beating them submissively! "

"Very well, remember, I sent you to Suzhou to control these scholars, but you also have to beware of them dragging you into the water. After you go to Suzhou, don't be fascinated by beautiful women and do things that violate the law and discipline. Come, otherwise, I will never forgive you." Zhu Youjian said and shouted: "Yuanyuan, please come out Mrs. Xing."

Gao Jie didn't expect his wife Mrs. Xing to be here all the time. When he thought of what he said just now, his ears turned red: "Madam."

"Before you came, I already told your wife the specific instructions after you went to Susong. You can ask carefully when you go back. I remember that when you returned to the imperial court in the past, you said that Mrs. Ling is a strategist and has the demeanor of a general. Since In this way, I will also say that, on the surface, you, Gao Jie, are the governor and chief military officer of Su Song, and you are the censor of the right capital, but the real governor and chief military officer is your wife, Gao Xing. I will allow you to have a secret record Monograph rights."

When Zhu Youjian said this, Mrs. Xing, who had been looking at Gao Jie and grinning, thanked Zhu Youjian happily.

But as soon as Gao Jie and Gao Jie left Zhu Youjian's place, Mrs. Xing took off her embroidered shoes and called Gao Jie on the spot: "You bastard, Your Majesty sent you to Suzhou to be a high-ranking official, and you only want to play with women. We swore to each other on the spot , could it be that you forgot it!"

……

Some are happy and some are sad.

Zhu Youjian's reorganization of the military system this time made the military officers very happy. After all, they can sit on an equal footing with civil servants from now on.

Northern officials are also very happy, after all, almost the entire military and financial power in Jiangnan is controlled by them.

Only the Donglin Party was very unhappy.

Zhang Shenyan, a scholar of Dongge University, raised his glass of wine in dejection and saluted Gao Hongtu, the second cabinet assistant: "Mr. Ge, you can see it now."

Gao Hongtu smiled awkwardly: "I see something."

"Don't Mr. Ge still understand? Think about it, from Shi Kefa being eunuched to the Prison of Rituals, to Qian Qianyi's rebellion, implicating four officials in Donglin, including Wang Duo, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and then I He was transferred from the Ministry of Household Affairs and put Ma Shiying in charge of the Ministry of War. Now he has assigned the power of the military and horses to some kind of Grand Marshal's Mansion, and even both civil and military affairs. However, there are several members of our Donglin Party among the foreign governors and chief military officers. A Lu Daqi actually asked him to go to that dangerous place in Henan!

Tell me, isn't Your Majesty trying to suppress our Donglin Party on purpose, and even our Donglin Party doesn't have any military power? "

As Zhang Shenyan spoke, he took another sip of wine, drunk and courageous, and began to vent his dissatisfaction.

Gao Hongtu hurriedly covered Zhang Shenyan's mouth: "Zhang Shenyan, be careful what you say. Have you forgotten what happened to Qian Qianyi? His Majesty is not a soft-hearted man today."

As he said that, Gao Hongtu also comforted Zhang Shenyan: "Your Majesty is eager to save the country, employs people who are eclectic, and doesn't pay attention to moral cultivation, so he abandoned our Donglin Party. Father, if you live in a high place in a temple, you will worry about your people; if you live far away in the rivers and lakes, you will worry about your ruler.

Seeing Gao Hongtu carrying the book by heart, Zhang Shenyan shook his head speechlessly, then turned the wine glass in his hand and sneered, "However, Mr. Ge, just wait and see, there will be a good show in a few days , Huang Degong was right that day, the most dangerous thing in my Daming Jiangshan community is neither slaves nor trespassers, but the fierce tiger lying on the side of the couch."

Hearing what Zhang Shenyan said, Gao Hongtu couldn't help becoming nervous: "What are you talking about? Who is the tiger lying on the side of the couch?"

"Why do you need to be so nervous, the lower officials are doing this for the sake of my country and the country. If you continue to change it like this, I am afraid that there will be a second Wang Mang in the world. For the sake of the people and the people in the world, the lower officials have given the title to President Huguang in the name of the prince. Bing Zuo Liangyu has communicated the news, if there are no accidents, next spring at the latest will be the time for you and me to establish a new master."

Gao Hongtu stood up abruptly when he heard this, and pointed at Zhang Shenyan: "You, what on earth are you trying to do? Have you forgotten Qian Qianyi's death? If you do this, where will you trap the prince!"

"But we can't just sit back and wait for death, and let that innocent person do my Jiangnan gentry so badly, and let my great Ming Dynasty be handed over to a group of warriors!"

Zhang Shenyan drank angrily.

"You, you are crazy. Who is Zuo Liangyu? How dare you collude with him in secret? Don't you think His Majesty is blind? Once the incident happens, I'll see who can save you!"

Before Gao Hongtu finished speaking, Zhang Shenyan smiled, and took out a secret letter: "Master Ge, please take a look, this is a private letter from a subordinate imitating the crown prince to Zuo Liangyu, and it also has your signature on it."

When Gao Hongtu saw this, he sat down on the ground with a bang.
