my wife is mulan

The operas performed in the afternoon will not be repeated at night, but new operas will be replaced.

In addition to the large-scale songs and dances performed by palace dancers, there are also small-scale and individual songs and dances performed by folk dancers.

In addition, there are several juggling troupes. These juggling troupes are all from the private sector. No matter in terms of the size and personnel of the juggling troupes, the relevant yamen in the palace have carried out detailed checks.

As the Dagan Dynasty became more and more stable and people's lives became more and more prosperous, culture also ushered in a spurt of development. In addition to learning, folk arts also developed rapidly, such as shadow puppetry, chess, calligraphy and painting, qin art, and tea art.

At this time, a shadow puppet show was over, Hua Mulan and Wan Yutong applauded happily, other members of the royal family, royal relatives, ministers and family members all applauded one after another.

Hua Mulan said to Zhao Junsheng: "Your Majesty, this shadow puppet show is very good. The characters and voices are all lifelike. It is the best shadow puppet play I have ever seen. I appreciate it!"

Zhao Junsheng smiled and said, "Okay, reward!"

The eunuch next to him agreed: "No!"

The shadow puppet performer came out from behind the scenes and saluted everyone, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"

After these artists retired, Zhao Junsheng asked: "What is the next performance?"

Kang Yide, the chief eunuch, replied: "Your Majesty, the ten ministers of the court and the daughter of the general's parent's daughter have not left the cabinet. The next embroidery competition will be held by them and they will complete a proposition within the specified time." Embroidery, three winners will be selected from ten, and the winner will be rewarded by His Majesty."

"Okay then, please invite all these daughters out!"

The eunuchs brought out ten short tables, and all the tools and materials were ready. The ten daughters who had not left the cabinet lined up to salute Zhao Junsheng, Hua Mulan and Wan Yutong. When the ministers and family members saw their daughters, they all waved their hands to signal them not to be nervous.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, the Empress, and the Imperial Concubine for a Happy New Year and a Boundless Longevity!"

Hua Mulan raised her hand with a smile and said, "Okay, all of them are beautiful beauties, and any one of them is the beauty of the city and the country. If anyone marries one of you, it will be a blessing from eight lifetimes of cultivation. Get up!" !"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Empress Empress, and Imperial Concubine!" The ten beauties stood up one after another, and each of them was as beautiful as a flower and as graceful as a flower.

Wan Yutong said at this time: "Your Majesty, these rich young ladies have no shortage of treasures in their families. It would be a bit cliche for Your Majesty to reward the winners with treasures!"

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while and said: "It's really embarrassing for the imperial concubine to say this. How about it, after the competition is over, we will select three winners. The first name will be rewarded by me, and No.2 will be rewarded by the queen. No.3 was rewarded by the imperial concubine, and the rewards of the three cannot be the same, what do you think?"

Hua Mulan and Wan Yutong looked at each other, nodded and said, "It's possible!"

Zhao Junsheng said to the ten beauties: "You have heard what I said to the empress and concubine just now, use all your abilities, don't worry, keep your mind, I will take out the reward first here, my reward is a gift Marriage! The lady who wins the first name can get a marriage gift from me. Your husband and son-in-law will be chosen by you. No matter who you like, no matter who your sweetheart is, you can choose him. Parents and relatives cannot object!"

As soon as these words were said, many of the top ten beauties showed joy, and a few were secretly delighted. On the other hand, their parents, that is, those royal relatives, ministers and ministers all showed their faces. Anxious, but you can't object to Zhao Junsheng explicitly.

Zhao Junsheng said: "I'm going to come up with a topic. Since all the ladies are not out of the court, let's come to a topic about girls' lovesickness. Listen carefully: Xiaoyu Xiaoying Spring Festival Gala, people are like jade, Liu is like eyebrows, and lovesickness. Luo Mu The emerald curtain rolls up for the first time, and there is a flower in the mirror. The news of the gate is broken, and the geese are rare."

"Okay, ladies, please take your seats, the competition is about to start, I hope all the ladies will work hard to adjust their mentality!"

After a while, following the order of the chief eunuch Kang Yide: "The competition time is half an hour, start!"

These daughters have to embroider the scenes that Zhao Junsheng just asked, which is more difficult than painting.

The ladies began to thread needles.

The scene couldn't cool down, so the next opera troupe came on stage, while the ladies were embroidering under the stage.

At this time, Zhao Junsheng whispered to Hua Mulan and Wan Yutong: "I have something to do, I will be back in a while!"

"Okay, then hurry up, it's Chinese New Year!"

"Know!"

Zhao Junsheng got up and walked out of the garden. After a while, he came to the imperial study room, leaving all the eunuchs, maids and guards outside, and walked into the imperial study room by himself.

After the door was closed, a shadow appeared and presented the roster with both hands, "Your Majesty, this is the roster of relevant officials involved in the news that He Fang and Fang Cheng sold the news on the black market. As for what Wang Tanzhi revealed to King Jing."

Zhao Junsheng took the roster and opened it to read it. After reading it, his face remained normal, and he asked, "Are there any problems with these people on the roster?"

"The minister has checked, and only four problems are serious. According to the law, he should be dismissed from his official position and sentenced to prison and sentenced to death. The others are not serious problems. If they follow the law, they will be dismissed at most. In fact, He Fang and Fang Cheng sold officials. Most of these secrets are their daily activities and preferences. After the information is bought, the person who bought the information can use it to contact these officials and build relationships.”

Zhao Junsheng said: "Then these four can be sentenced to death according to the law, and there are also those who can be dismissed according to the law. After the news is sold, I'm afraid they will be controlled by others?"

"Yes!"

Zhao Junsheng said: "The real function of the waiting lawsuit is top-secret, very few people know about it, even the royal relatives, ministers and ministers don't know, since Wang Tanzhi learned that He Fang and Fang Cheng had sold the news on the black market Why didn't he take measures to cut off the channel for the news to leak out? You have to know how much trouble it will bring me once the real function of the waiting case is known to the ministers and ministers of the court? They will definitely force me to abolish the waiting case!"

Shadow said: "I don't know about this minister. Only Wang Tanzhi himself knows about this matter. I wonder if the person behind the underground black market is someone he can't afford to offend?"

Zhao Junsheng paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, stopped a few times, and said in an unquestionable tone: "Anyway, people who shouldn't know the real function of waiting for a lawsuit do. In order to prevent things from becoming uncontrollable and In the clean-up situation, none of these people can survive! Prince Jing will let him go first, and Wang Tanzhi will let him live for a few more days, and everyone else will die. Take it, and the Youxiao guards are at your disposal, cut off the channel of news leakage as quickly as possible, and find out everyone who knows the news!"

"I obey the order!" After receiving the gold medal and saluting, Yingying retreated into the darkness and disappeared.

In the middle of the night that day, all the exits of the ground market and underground black market in Xingyuanfang were blocked by Youxiao guards and horses, and a large number of soldiers rushed into the underground market. Constantine and all his men were arrested, and none of them escaped. Lose.

Subsequently, all those who bought news from Constantine were confessed, and all were arrested overnight.

Guaranteeing the purpose of killing mistakes rather than letting them go, these people were all executed in secret.

Chapter 1080

Prince Jing's Mansion.

Zhao Ting walked back and forth in the lobby with his arms folded, looking a little anxious.

It's been two days since Wang Tanzhi went out, and he spent New Year's Eve outside, and he hasn't come back until now, did something happen?

At this time, a person walked in quickly from the outside, but it was Zhan Shimadun of the palace.

Zhao Ting immediately stepped forward and asked, "How is it? Is there any news about Wang Tanzhi?"

Although Ma Dun was also anxious, he did not forget the etiquette. After saluting, he said: "Your Highness, something serious has happened. I just received news that the Ministry of Criminal Justice has issued a warrant to arrest Wang Tanzhi. He was not wanted publicly because the waiting lawsuit was not a law enforcement office on the surface, but they must have issued relevant orders internally, and his subordinates thought that Wang Tanzhi should have received the news long ago, so he hid. And just now I I went to wait for the lawsuit and inquired about it, and Sicheng Jiayue was appointed by His Majesty as acting official secretary to wait for the lawsuit!"

Zhao Ting didn't react for a while, "Is there any place that is safer than the palace? Why is Wang Tanzhi hiding outside?"

Ma Dun was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and immediately reminded: "Your Highness, isn't this matter clearly ordered by His Majesty? Without His Majesty's order, the waiting court and the Ministry of Punishment dare to arrest Wang Tanzhi? It is certain that something happened about Wang Tanzhi, and he became a A wanted criminal, how dare His Highness take in a wanted criminal? Once His Majesty inquires about the crime, how will His Highness respond? Besides, Wang Tanzhi is afraid that he will not dare to return to the palace, and he is worried that His Highness will sell him out!"

Zhao Ting finally came to his senses now, he immediately realized a problem, "Do you think the father will know the relationship between Wang Tanzhi and this king?"

Ma Dun was not sure, he hesitated for a moment: "I should not know, if His Majesty knew about the relationship between His Highness and Wang Tanzhi, I am afraid that His Highness would not be able to stand here at this time, and it must be known that His Majesty will supervise the officials at that time." The last hole card, now this hole card has been flipped through by His Highness, can His Majesty not be angry?"

Zhao Tingdao: "No matter what you say, this king is also the son of my father. Since I was a child, my father never said a harsh word to us brothers and sisters, let alone beat or scolded me. Even if this king made a mistake, my father would not You shouldn’t do anything to this king, right?”

Ma Dun looked at Zhao Ting, thought for a while, bowed his hands and said, "Your Highness, I have a few words from the bottom of my heart. Even if Your Highness wants to punish, I have to say it, otherwise I will be dereliction of duty! In the past, His Majesty was kind to His Highness and other brothers and sisters." , kindness, that's because His Highness, brothers and sisters are still young, and they haven't made any serious mistakes. Even if they did, it's not a big mistake, and the queen has already disciplined them. Naturally, it's not easy for His Majesty to punish them, but it's different now. Your Highness is almost an adult, and has opened a government office alone, and the matters involved are pending lawsuits that His Majesty regards as forbidden. It is said that Mao Xiuzhi, who is behind Constantine, the manager of the underground black market in Xingyuanfang, must know! It has been more than half a year, why hasn’t there been any rumors from the government and the public? Mao Xiuzhi dare not say it. I will allow Constantine and his gang to talk nonsense!"

Mao Xiuzhi was a minister of the former dynasty, and also an important minister of the founding of the Qian state. He was appointed as the supervisor of the Taifu, and he was granted the title of Marquis of Guangping. An important figure in the country.

Hearing what Ma Dun said, Zhao Ting felt a little scared. Even though Zhao Junsheng was always kind to his brothers and sisters at home, he knew that his father was a decisive and ruthless master.

Ma Dun said again: "Your Highness, on the way back to the residence, I just heard the news that the underground black market in Xingyuan Square was turned upside down by You Xiaowei last night, and Constantine and all his subordinates were arrested! Later, my subordinates went to someone to inquire about it, and not only Constantine and his group, but also some officials, merchants and wealthy families in Chang'an City were arrested overnight!"

"What did You Xiaowei do? No, it's not within their scope of authority! Wait, the people like Constantine won't be arrested just because they know that Hou Lisu is spying on the officials?" Zhao Ting His face was shocked.
