Chapter 169 Start

Zhang Juzheng suffered from terminal illness and had a coma for a short time after his birthday banquet. It was a sensation that spread throughout the night. However, the Zhang family remained silent and refused to refute, and refused all officials who came to visit.

"Have you heard it? Mr. Zhang, a virtuous prime minister, was sick and said to have suffered from cholesterol. Why is such a good official so short-lived?" A man in the teahouse said in a sigh.

"A good official? A virtuous prime minister? I think he is like a crow in the world!

I tell you that everyone who went to the birthday party that day said that the Zhang Mansion was extremely luxurious, and the birthday party was even more flying in the sky and running underground.

Moreover, I also heard that there is a peerless treasure mirror at the birthday party. As long as you take a look at it every day, you can stay young forever!

I also heard…”

"Don't listen to him nonsense! What a peerless treasure mirror is just a glass mirror!

There is a sale in Xishan, but it is not as big as Zhang Taiyue’s family, and the price is really expensive!

A glass mirror with a slap requires a hundred silver coins…”

"Tsk! It's like you've seen it! Have the ability to take out a glass mirror to let us know it?" The person who was refuted was unhappy. Those who could sit on the second floor of the teahouse to taste tea were all small wealth, and they were a little angry when they were refuted in person.

The person who spoke was a Futai businessman who took out a red cloth package from his arms with a smile, and said while carefully: "Oh! I told you right! I'm not talented, I really brought a piece!

Everyone! This thing is expensive, just take a look. Don’t do it, otherwise don’t blame Lao Liu for turning against me!"

With his words, a glass mirror with a palm that was big in his palm appeared in front of everyone. Although the mirror was small, it attracted everyone's attention.

A sound of gasping in the teahouse sounded. The businessman proudly held the mirror in his hand and said, "See it! This is a glass mirror, and it is not an exaggeration to say it is a treasure!

I tell you that Xishan only sells a hundred yuan mirrors a day, and if you go late, you can’t buy them even if you have money!

Alas...! What are you running away? I haven't finished talking yet!"

Before the merchant could finish his words, the people in the teahouse scattered. The horses riding horses, the carriages, and rushed to Xishan. Who would still listen to your words in this vernacular?

The news of Zhang Juzheng's terminal illness was spread along with the news of Xishan's glass mirror. Especially the limited-edition sale made people feel even more annoying.

Some people even asked the servants to wait overnight in Xishan, and immediately bought them all as soon as the mirror arrived.

Unlike the lively West Mountain, the court without Zhang Juzheng's erection for several days was surprisingly calm. Even the censors seemed to have amnesia, and they kept silent.

Shen Shixing, who was in charge of the government, noticed something. After the court ran away, he came to the Zhang Mansion in person, but he returned disappointed. Mrs. Zhang and Zhang Jingxiu refused Shen Shixing's visit on the name of Zhang Juzheng's need to rest.

Even Shen Shixing did not see news about Zhang Juzheng. It was calm and undercurrents were surging under the capital, as if a volcano could erupt at any time.

The next morning court, Comrade Xiao Zhu did not speak as usual, but instead said first: "Aiqing Shen! Did you see the teacher yesterday?

I feel so ill that my teacher is so ill. The teacher’s family is really good. Even the imperial doctors I sent to blocked back. Could it be that my Imperial Hospital can’t catch up with those doctors?”

Shen Shixing quickly told the situation yesterday truthfully, but his brows frowned. Comrade Xiao Zhu's words seemed to be complaining, but the meaning in his words was too obvious. Thinking of what was about to happen, he couldn't help but sigh: The emperor has grown up!

The Golden Palace is full of masters in the officialdom, observing their expressions and judging the situation. Comrade Xiao Zhu's words made many people moved.

The Censor Leshi Fen stood up first, "Your Majesty! I impeached the Minister of Rites Pan Sheng. Pan Sheng has done nothing since he became Minister of Rites. He has been in vain and has accepted bribes for personal gain..."

He said a stick of incense for a while before he stopped. After that, six more censors stood up and criticized Pan Sheng, the Minister of Rites.

The old Pan Sheng did not say a word, took off the black veil from his head and knelt down and said nothing, allowing a group of censors to impeach.

After hearing the impeachment of the seven censors, Comrade Xiao Zhu looked embarrassed. Without asking Shen Shixing, who was in charge of the government, he directly asked: "Pan Sheng! What do you have to say?"

Shen Shixing opened his mouth but said nothing. Logically, Comrade Xiao Zhu has not taken power yet. In this case, he, the old minister who temporarily serves as the chief minister, should be asked about it.

Comrade Xiao Zhu is so impatient. Are you really impatient to take charge of the government? If Zhang Juzheng is still here, what should he do?

Everyone's eyes were focused on Pan Sheng, but Pan Sheng did not look up and touched the ground with his head: "Your Majesty! The old minister is old and he is already unable to do anything. Please ask Your Majesty to allow the old minister to retire and return home!"

"This..." Comrade Xiao Zhu's expression on his face was very wonderful, including surprise, surprise, and unstoppable joy.

At this moment, everyone raised their ears. Pan Sheng was promoted by Zhang Juzheng. Impulsing Pan Sheng was not the purpose, but a temptation to Comrade Xiao Zhu.

If Comrade Xiao Zhu protects Pan Sheng, then Zhang Juzhengsheng is still in decline. If Pan Sheng is asked to retire and return home, then...

Comrade Xiao Zhu hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Since Pan Aiqing is old, it's good to go back to his hometown to enjoy his old age!"

"Huh!" Comrade Xiao Zhu said, and a sound of breath sounded in the hall, and many people's eyes were filled with excitement.

Shen Shixing shook his head. As one era passes, another era will naturally rise. Comrade Xiao Zhu finally grew up and is no longer the child who asks them for advice in everything!

No one cared about the morning court next time. After the hasty ended, some people connected each other, some were busy changing the house, and some people jumped up and down.

A storm gradually formed in the capital, and everyone was in this storm. Some people would rise step by step, while others would fall into the dust and never recover.

The next morning, the palace gate was full of officials standing outside the morning before dawn. Even the old ministers who were in poor health and were allowed to go to court were all here. They gathered together in groups of three or three, talking in a low voice.

Among them, the seven people including Less Fen are the most conspicuous. Not only did they stand in the front, but they even spoke the loudest.

"Brother Lei is so courageous! He moved to the Minister of Rites in one fell swoop. He is really a role model for our censors!"

"Where! Where! Lei is just a preemptive move! Without everyone's help, such a big thing cannot be accomplished!

I will also need everyone to support you later. I must participate in Zhang Taiyue, who is inconsistent with his appearance, expose his true face in front of everyone!”

"Everything is followed by Brother Lei's leader. We are unwilling to be the last resort for the country to eliminate traitors!"

The few people spoke loudly and did not shy away from the people around them.
Chapter completed!
