When Zhang Zhaohua and Wei Shi entered Kunning Palace, they heard Mama and the palace people praising each other: "A white silk Luo papa, hoop on the big embroidery bandage at the mouth of the bowl, take a dark pink double-strand silk thread and wear it on the needle, both hands shuttle, a stick of incense is not enough, there is an extra bright peony on the veil, not big, the petals are stretched, only four or five pieces, but each piece can stand up to scrutiny." What a skill, a skill!"

It turned out that she was praising Xu Zhang's daughter Xu, and Empress Xu summoned her and the daughter of another noble family and asked them to show their skills. Xu's one-hand needlework is quite outstanding, so that the people in the hall are vying to praise her.

"And he humbly said that it was clumsy. This is also considered to be clumsy, so which one else can be applauded?" Even Mama Li praised: "I also inquired, saying that Miss Xu embroidered things at home by herself, and if she embroidered a peony with a twig delicately, she would have to use twenty-three embroidery threads! Not to mention the grandmothers of the Shangfu Bureau, even the specialized needlework could not compare!"

Legend has it that during the Three Kingdoms period, Mrs. Zhao of Wu Guo had three uniques: she could weave a brocade of dragons and phoenixes with colored silk between her fingers for 'machine excellence'; she could embroider a map of the five mountains on square silk with a needle and thread for 'needle and thread'; and she used glue silk to develop a silk silk silk and a light curtain for 'silk refinement'. Zhang Zhaohua immediately stepped forward and said: "Don't talk about these things that don't know whether they are true or false, let's talk about what we saw with our own eyes - the Baizi single clothes made by the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, that is the real good thing." ”

Queen Xu also smiled and nodded, Baizi single clothes are made of three-strand thread, velvet thread, twisted thread, stalk thread, peacock feather thread, and flower clip thread. Such a small single coat is embroidered with hundreds of white and tender fat children, including whipping tops, playing birds, wrestling, and playing big-headed monks, as well as watching fish, playing hide and seek, skipping rope, and setting off firecrackers. The gold thread and peacock feather thread on it are so golden that you can't take your eyes off it.

This dress is called Zhang Zhaohua to see, it is simply a treasure of handmade art, it is reluctant to wear it, but the emperor and queen gave it to Brother Chun to wear, Zhang Zhaohua sees him wearing such a good thing every day, rubbing the ground dirty and muddy, almost about to die of distress.

Xu Zhang's daughter is really among the candidates, and she is also one of the two choices, which makes Zhang Zhaohua very reluctant, and he hears that the people around him are praising Xu, which shows that Xu is the more brilliant one among the two.

Just when she racked her brains to find a way to brush the Xu family down, she heard Queen Xu say: "The Xu family is sensitive and skillful, and the appearance is outstanding, I think it's good when I see it, and the emperor also thinks it's good, and I should soon make a decree to prepare for Gao Sui's marriage." ”

Zhang Zhaohua knew that this matter could not be stopped, so he had to say: "The third brother and sister etiquette people, I don't know if I can get used to it when I marry in and see me and Wei's like this." ”

"You two look like jackals, tigers and leopards. Empress Xu laughed.

Zhang Zhaohua really didn't know what to say, so he asked, "Why didn't you see Brother Chun'er?"

He told Wen Bi to take him out and learn to ride a horse. Empress Xu said: "The emperor told him to listen to classes in the morning and train his muscles and bones in the afternoon." ”

Referring to Zhang Fu, Zhang Zhaohua couldn't help but say: "Wen Bi is so big, haven't you decided on a suitable family affair yet?"

"It's decided," Xu said with a smile: "The lady who just decided, the lady who came with Xu, Mrs. Wang has already fallen in love, maybe before Gao Xu, she will have to eat his wedding wine first." ”

This lady has a little relationship with the old general Gu Cheng, she is the maiden daughter of the daughter-in-law of Gu Cheng's third son, and she is also the daughter of a military minister and a commander, and she also matches her assistant brother, and it is said that she is also very virtuous.

Coming out of Kunning Palace, Zhang Zhaohua walked in the palace for a while, just passed through the Rijing Gate, and suddenly saw a person walking into the palace from a distance, she knew this person, and at this time she still asked the eunuch next to her: "It's Lord Chen Yingchen, right?"

The eunuch nodded, "Yes." ”

Zhang Zhaohua walked slowly for a while before he said, "You all go down." ”

After Chen Ying finished his work to the emperor, he went down to the Danqi and walked through the Zuoshun Gate, when he suddenly saw Zhang Zhaohua. He was very unintentional about meeting the crown princess here, and he couldn't avoid it, because Zhang Zhaohua was standing in the middle of the gate - Chen Ying had to come over to pay respects.

"Chen Ying, the imperial history of the minister," he said, "I have seen the crown princess." ”

Zhang Zhaohua bowed his head and said, "Where did Lord Chen come from?"

"It's just over," Chen Ying said, "I'm about to leave the palace." ”

"What's the matter?" Zhang Zhaohua didn't wait for him to speak, and said: "Ah, it should be Changxing Marquis Geng Bingwen's violation of the law." ”

Geng Bingwen was defeated in the First Battle of Zhending and never went to the battlefield again, but his two sons followed Li Jinglong to fight, and all of them died. There is no Geng's name in the list of traitorous ministers, but after cleaning up Jianwen's relics, Chen Ying, the imperial historian, impeached Geng Bingwen for "clothes and utensils with dragon and phoenix ornaments, jade belts and red shoes, and unscrupulous." ”

Chen Ying really didn't know why the crown princess blocked the road and asked him about Chaozhong, which made him puzzled.

"What does the emperor mean?" asked Zhang Zhaohua.

"Search, confiscate. Chen Ying thought about it and replied. This is not a secret that should not be said, and the edict will be issued soon.

"Geng Bingwen should be like this," Zhang Zhaohua nodded and said: "Who called him the lord of the family, and the lord of Jiangdu! He is a person who understands current affairs, not like Li Jinglong." ”

When Chen Ying heard this, she really frowned involuntarily. His previous impeachment of Jianwen's relics was the emperor's intention, and now the impeachment of the military generals who are hostile to the emperor is also at the emperor's behest. He impeached Licheng Marquis Sheng Yong in August last year, and Sheng Yong committed suicide. In June this year, he impeached Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao Guo, for plotting misdeeds, and impeached Jinglong's younger brother Zengzhi Zhijing Long for not being subordinate and not admonishing, buying more estates, accumulating tenants, and making unpredictable intentions, and issued an order to confiscate the mansion.

Just like Zhang Zhaohua said, if Li Jinglong knew what the emperor meant, he should have committed suicide early, but he was still cheeky and secretly lived, which is really disgusting - because the emperor is affectionate to the military ministers, and only one person can sit on the crime, and the family can be preserved, unlike the Wenchen, who carries out melon and vine copying. Therefore, after Sheng Yong committed suicide, his family was not guilty, and after Tie Xuan was taken to the ground, his son only guarded the river pool.

Only after Li Jinglong was impeached, the emperor deprived him of his title, confiscated his family property, and imprisoned him in the mansion.

Because Xu Huizu did this, after the emperor ascended the throne, he stayed in his father's ancestral hall and refused to greet him. The emperor personally summoned him for questioning, but Xu Huizu did not say a word and refused to push him. Jinyiwei forced him to confess, and Xu Huizu only wrote that his father was the founder of the country, and his descendants were spared death. Although the emperor was extremely angry, the treatment of him was only to order him to return to his private house and remove him from his title and title, Chen Ying also knew that the emperor hated him, but he did not impeach him, because he was the elder brother of Empress Xu, and this closed door was still a family affair.

But Li Jinglong is different, this guy is far from the royal family, and the emperor can even kill his own nephew, not to mention that Li Jinglong, a distant relative, is still the one who sent 500,000 troops to kill him in the past.

If Li Jinglong was a little more interesting, he should commit suicide and be exonerated from his crimes. In this way, maybe Li Jinglong's position as the Duke of Cao can be preserved, and his innocent brother Li Zengzhi will not be implicated.

"Li Jinglong is thick-skinned, but Lord Chen is still impeached," Zhang Zhaohua covered his mouth and smiled lightly: "What kind of crime is this property and tenant servants? ”

Chen Ying trembled fiercely, and still said: "The ministers impeached this generation out of public intentions, if His Majesty wants to release him, the ministers have no choice but to obey the decree of the gods." ”

"Since Lord Chen is not afraid of trouble, he is willing to gather the door," Zhang Zhaohua smiled and said, "Then what else do I have to say? Lord Chen take care." ”

Zhang Zhaohua said, and slowly stepped in from the left door.
