Chapter 29 Good Man Yan Runwu
In the following days.
The court was relatively peaceful, without any major conflicts.
Wanshou Palace has also entered the process of reconstruction.
As Huang Jin represented the inner court in supervising the construction, the daily progress of the project was reported to the Taoist priest on time.
Wanshou Palace is changing day by day.
In the past few days, voices praising Yan Shaoting could be heard from Yuxi Palace from time to time.
Everyone knew that the young man from the Yan family, like his grandfather and father, had caught the emperor's eye.
Therefore, now wherever Yan Shaoting goes, everyone has to respectfully address him as Little Lord Yan.
This caught Yan Shaoting off guard.
Yan Shaoting was very quiet, following Old Yan to the Cabinet every morning. At noon, he went to the Wanshou Palace in Xiyuan with Lu Yi to check the progress of the project, and then he discussed some matters unrelated to the reconstruction of the Wanshou Palace with the Minister of Works Lei Li.
Because of this, Lei Li's feelings towards Yan Shaoting changed day by day, and in the end, the two of them had developed a feeling of mutual appreciation.
After noon, Yan Shaoting would go to Prince Yu's Mansion every day without fail to fulfill his duties as the tutor of Prince Yu's son, the infant Wanli.
There is nothing important to do when going to Prince Yu's Mansion.
Yan Shaoting only talked about some things in the cabinet, and then reported on the reconstruction of Wanshou Palace.
This made Prince Yu feel that this boy was knowledgeable about everything, no matter how big or small, and did not hide anything.
However, Yan Shaoting rarely saw Concubine Li. During this period of time, he only saw her once.
And during this period.
An imperial censor from the Censorate submitted a memorial, which caused quite a stir in the court.
The memorial submitted by the censor was not a major matter. It merely impeached the three young masters of the Duke of Dingguo, the Duke of Chengguo, and the Duke of Yingguo.
The cause was a fight between these three young masters in Fangchun Tower in the south of the city during the first month of the year.
Fights between powerful people are not a big deal.
But the censor spoke confidently, saying that the nobles were people who shared the same destiny with the country and were role models for the court. If they fought in the martial arts field, it would not matter even if some people died.
But in a dirty place like Fangchunlou, fighting over a few pieces of flesh and blood would be a disgrace to the Ming Dynasty.
The emperor must impose severe punishment and warn the nobles of the Ming Dynasty to strictly discipline these pampered young men.
Originally, the impeachment memorial submitted by the Censor was not a big deal.
Moreover, the three families of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion also vaguely knew that the censor who impeached at the beginning had received the Lu family's advice in order to vent the anger of the eldest sister of the Lu family.
But this cannot be said explicitly.
Everyone thought that the matter would be resolved after the emperor figured out the reason and issued an edict to reprimand the officials.
But who knows.
The next day, suddenly a pile of memorials were presented to the emperor.
They were all memorials impeaching Zhu Shitai, Zhang Yuangong and Xu Wenbi.
No one expected that these three young masters who were just looking for flowers and asking for willows and had a small fight would actually stir up a hornet's nest.
Jiajing, who had moved temporarily to Yuxi Palace because Wanshou Palace was destroyed, naturally read every impeachment memorial.
In fact, apart from not attending court, the Taoist priest could be considered a diligent emperor to a large extent.
During the Taoist priest's career as an emperor, there were only dozens of memorials that he had not reviewed or responded to.
The Taoist priest would basically read and review all the memorials submitted to him from below. On average, he would only keep one memorial per year.
As a result, as more and more memorials impeaching Zhu Shitai and the other two were sent to Yuxi Palace, the atmosphere in the court suddenly changed and took a sharp turn for the worse.
People have not yet figured out why this is happening.
But everyone knows that Zhu Shitai and the other two will probably be severely punished this time.
Because the emperor, who is devoted to practicing Taoism, would definitely be annoyed by these memorials.
This day.
As usual, Yan Shaoting finished his work in the Cabinet and the Western Garden, then left the palace and prepared to go to Prince Yu's Mansion.
But as soon as he walked out of the palace gate, someone stopped him.
Before Yan Shaoting could see who was coming.
The man immediately said, "Runwu! Runwu! Please save me!"
Yan Shaoting was shaken for a while and his eyes were almost full of stars, so the man stopped.
When Yan Shaoting took a closer look, he recognized that the other person was Zhu Shitai, who had been impeached by countless censors in recent days.
Zhu Shitai's face was full of anxiety and there was sweat on his forehead.
Yan Shaoting coughed lightly and pretended not to know: "It turned out to be my brother-in-law, what happened?"
Zhu Shitai gritted his teeth and cursed angrily: "I don't know which bastard I offended, but now I, your brother-in-law, have been impeached by a group of censors.
This is nothing. As long as we nobles do not commit treasonous acts, we will just be scolded by His Majesty.
But now, your eldest sister has been staying at her parents' home and not returning to the Chengguo Mansion because of the impeachment, and your father-in-law is almost scolded to death by his brothers, saying that if this matter is not settled, he will have to give up his legs. "
Zhu Shitai shuddered at the thought of his old man's volcanic reaction.
Yan Shaoting said sternly, "So that's what happened. I've heard about it in the cabinet recently. It's just a trivial matter, but it's been blown out of proportion. How abominable!"
"Yes! That's the truth!" Zhu Shitai clapped his hands, looking like he had finally met a bosom friend: "Brother is still understanding. If I knew which bastard caused this, I would definitely break his legs!"
Yan Shaoting silently moved his legs, and then asked with a puzzled look: "Just why did my elder brother-in-law come to see me today?"
Zhu Shitai glanced around, then pulled Yan Shaoting together and whispered, "Everyone knows that you are favored by His Majesty. People in the court call you the Little Lord Yan. I've thought about it and it depends on whether you can help me, suppress the impeachment in the court, and say good things in front of His Majesty."
Yan Shaoting let out a long "oh", then immediately denied: "Brother-in-law, don't dare to say those words of Little Lord Yan again in the future, it will cost me my life!"
But at this time, he became a little alert.
Regarding the words of this so-called Little Lord Yan, I really have to suppress them later.
After all, people are afraid of becoming famous just as pigs are afraid of getting fat.
Zhu Shitai didn't care about that. He pulled Yan Shaoting and said, "Runwu, you have to be a good person. I heard rumors in the palace this morning that His Majesty is probably annoyed by those memorials. He might punish me severely. You have to help me get through this difficult time."
Yan Shaoting narrowed his eyes and asked, "What about the Zhang and Xu brothers?"
Zhu Shitai immediately pulled Yan Shaoting forward and whispered, "It just so happens that they are both in Fangchun Tower today. Let's go over there and talk about this."
Hearing place.
Yan Shaoting was speechless for a moment.
These three people really don't remember how to fight. Now they dare to go to Fangchunlou where the trouble happened that day.
But Zhu Shitai, who was extremely anxious, didn't care about all this and pulled Yan Shaoting into his carriage.
Regardless of anything, he took Yan Shaoting to Fangchun Tower in the south of the city.
