On the east side of the capital, the sky was just beginning to brighten. Assistant Minister Jiang led the soldiers and secretly sent the five people out of the city.
These five people were the five people who had carried the corpses. The medicinal effect of making people breathe had already been exhausted, so they naturally woke up.
After this show of collusion between the government and the Taoist priests, the people of the capital believed that the demon fox had been eliminated and restored its former prosperity.
However, the five people who were acting had to leave. If they didn't leave, this act would be in vain and might even cause a second panic.
The Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Jiang Junliang, gave the five of them a hundred taels of silver and told them to stay far away from the capital and never come back.
Don't think that the Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice was really a good official who sympathized with the people. Through this act, he collected a fee far higher than ten thousand taels of silver.
The capital was the capital of the entire Ming Dynasty, and it had the best economy.
The Ministry of Justice cooperated with the Taoist priest to put on this show. The people who had suffered from feudal superstitions naturally believed it. The Left Assistant Minister was making a private decision. From there, he came up with an excuse to collect some fees. Who would dare not pay?
Not to mention anything else, just the inn that was not doing business all day long had to close before six o'clock every day. How much would they lose every day? In the capital, the cost of staying in a hotel was very high. Losing a customer was equivalent to losing a piece of meat.
The taverns and inns alone had already paid more than ten thousand taels of silver. Adding on the "demon-slaying fee" paid by the ordinary people of the capital, it was more than enough to break twenty thousand taels.
However, Xia Jian's arrival had caused the Left Assistant Minister's 10,000 taels of silver to disappear. This was as painful as digging out his flesh.
Xia Jian was a eunuch with the seal of the ceremonial director, so he had the right to approve the red seal. He directly asked for it, and Assistant Minister Jiang did not dare to refuse.
If he didn't give it to him, he would be courting death!
The five people who were holding the hundred taels of silver were so touched that they almost cried when they saw the hundred taels of silver because they didn't know how much benefits Assistant Minister Jiang had gotten from it.
A hundred taels was nothing to the rich, but to the poor, they might not even be able to earn that much in five years.
These five people were a family. The husband and wife brought along their third son. The eldest son was already twenty-seven years old and had not married yet. Now that he had this hundred taels of silver, he could go to a small place and settle down for his eldest son.
The family of five left the capital and went to a place called Green Bamboo Ridge. They met a woman in white who was wearing a veil and walking toward them.
When the white-robed woman passed by the five people, a gust of wind blew past, blowing the woman's veil up, revealing her beautiful face.
The veil fell to the ground, and the woman in white continued to walk forward, like a fairy who did not eat the mortal world.
There were five more corpses where the veil fell. Their bodies became cold and gradually stiffened.
If one looked closely, there were no wounds on the five corpses. There were even some smiles on their faces.
........
In July of the second year of Chenghua, on the day of 1898, Maoli children led the Mongolia army to invade Guyuan.
The Mongol army was good at riding and shooting, and their cavalry was unparalleled. The horses of the Great Ming Country were weaker compared to them, so the cavalry was weaker. The border guards were also weaker. The two sides fought, and the Ming army was defeated and fled. Guyuan was attacked by the Maoli child's army.
On the eighth day of the eighth month, Mao Lihai led his army to invade Ningxia. He commanded Jiao Zheng to die in battle!
The entire imperial court was shocked, and they all went to remonstrate and sent troops to fight to protect the Ming Empire.
However, ever since he met the Demonic Priest Li Zilong, he had been obsessed with alchemy and thinking about how to live forever.
Ever since Chen Wen was demoted after saying " Your Majesty, you're still alive ", the position of chief assistant was taken over by Li Xian.
Perhaps it was because of his old age, but ever since Li Xian became the chief assistant, his body had been constantly sick.
Now, the Guyuan border was in chaos, and Li Xian, who had been bedridden for a long time, had no choice but to support his sick body and meet the Emperor.
However, it had been a long time since this Transformation Monarch had attended the morning court session. He was obsessed with pills!
Although the Ming Dynasty during the Chenghua period was corrupt, it was not as hopeless as the Ming Dynasty. In addition, Emperor Chenghua was sometimes diligent and sometimes lazy, so the Ming Dynasty was sometimes good and sometimes bad during this period.
The Chenghua period was also the period when the Ming Dynasty suffered the most natural disasters. It was even more serious than the disasters at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
The Great Ming Dynasty was like a small sailboat swaying in the waves. It could capsize at any time in a natural or man-made disaster.
Chief Li Xian wanted to meet the Emperor, but he could not. This was all blocked by Wan Zhen 'er and the Demonic Priest.
All the ministers were helpless. After a final discussion, they asked the Chief Assistant Li Xian to look for the Minister of War, Peng Shi!
Speaking of the Minister of War, Peng Shi, this guy was a legendary figure in the entire Ming Dynasty. Zhang Juzheng, Yan Song, and the like were nothing compared to Peng Shi!
Other people's hands would itch if they didn't play cards for three days, but this Minister of War Peng Shi's mouth would itch if he didn't scold the Emperor for three days.
Sometimes, when he scolded, he would even scold the emperor's mother and Empress Dowager Zhou. His words were not modified at all!
Although the emperor was angry, he endured it. Empress Dowager Zhou had even fainted from anger, but the Transformation Emperor endured it.
As for why he wouldn't be dismissed, he had to ask Emperor Chenghua. Why didn't Emperor Chenghua allow Peng Shi to resign when he kept asking for it?
Because Peng Shi was a loyal and honest official who could do practical things! He was a thousand times better than those ministers who only knew how to curse and impeach but did nothing!
During the three years of Emperor Chenghua's reign, all the difficulties encountered by the Great Ming Country were basically handed over to Peng Shi.
Peng Shi could do practical things. All the difficult things could be easily solved in his hands.
This time, at the request of the ministers, Li Xian found Peng Shi, the Minister of War.
When Peng Shi heard this, he rolled up his sleeves and ran straight to Yangxin Hall. The ministers could not stop him.
He opened his mouth and cursed. Xianzong heard it and did not dare to come out. Wan-shi was not convinced and wanted to come out to speak, but she was scolded by Transformation Monarch Cheng.
In the end, this matter also attracted Empress Dowager Zhou, who couldn't act as regent, to persuade Peng Shi.
This was good. Peng Shi, who had been cursing at the door, vented all his anger on Empress Dowager Zhou.
The so-called literati did not spit out dirty things when they cursed, but they could be furious. Empress Dowager Zhou was so angry that she cursed and even wanted to scratch him! Fortunately, the ministers, palace maids, female officials, and eunuchs stopped the angry Empress Dowager Zhou in time.
At this point, Transformation Monarch Cheng had no choice but to come out. He didn't say anything and just handed over the border matters to Peng Shi to handle.
The Transformation Monarch had fallen for his trap. After saying this, he went back to Yangxin Palace Hall to study the Way of Alchemy and the Way of Longevity.
