Yuan Shoufu decisively stood with Emperor Zhaoning, because he was afraid of the military power in the hands of Emperor Zhaoning, otherwise he would be willing to set up an emperor to play. Not to mention that he is an old man like this, even Tingfang is also constantly fighting with Emperor Zhaoning in terms of power. So far, Jiangxi, Anhui, and Emperor Zhaoning have to rely on Tingfang to control. That is, they are like-minded, it doesn't matter.

How terrible is military power? At the end of one day and night, another day and night, all the people involved in the world and their families were arrested. Urgent letters of 800 miles were sent to the provinces to detain people who had been implicated by their father and brother's ascension, such as Chen Jichang in Guangxi, and the prefect of Huaiyang, who was on the wrong side. They will not be transported back to the capital, and they don't even need to go through the trial process for rebellion, Jin Yiwei is caught and killed on the spot, and their families are sent to various state-owned enterprises, and they only need to take the head of the criminal official and the receipt of the state-owned enterprise to return to their lives. Strong military control is the cornerstone of Emperor Zhaoning's accession to the throne, and Yuan Shoufu really can't understand why he has to force an emperor who can be slaughtered a long time ago but is unwilling to slaughter finally chooses to slaughter.

The edict prison has long been unable to be put down, and the prison of the Criminal Department is also full. Many family members simply tied a rope and threw it in their own yards, guarded by brocade guards. It was winter, and the pampered officials and dependents froze to death in fright and cold. Jin Yiwei doesn't care, even if he freezes to death, he who should be dragged to cut off his head in two days will be cut off as usual. Execution is not only a punishment, but also an education and deterrent. Even if it's a whole corpse that freezes to death, don't expect to keep it.

In the heavy snowfall, a horse-drawn carriage stopped at the door of the prison of the Criminal Department. Chen took Hu's mother, Gao's mother, Chen Qian's wife, Li and her son Chen Yuanmin, to the prison. The official of the criminal department accompanied the smiling face and led the way. Winding his way to the cell, it was surprisingly clean, with a few thin quilts. Did Tingfang say hello?

Chen walked quickly to the fence and looked at Mrs. Jiang sitting cross-legged on the straw-woven futon, tears pouring down her eyes: "Mother......"

Li and Chen Yuanmin also grabbed the fence and watched Yang Anqin cry. Li is not among the beheadings, but he has to go to the textile factory for labor reform, relying on Chen's relationship to say goodbye to his mother-in-law. She actually wanted to see her husband Chen Qian more, but she didn't know where Chen Qian was, and she didn't dare to mention it to Chen.

Mrs. Jiang didn't have any expression, and said slowly: "It's all a good thing that your good girl did." ”

Chen was speechless for a moment.

Mrs. Jiang said: "Go home and tell your good daughter, the next time you encounter this kind of self-righteous thing, cut it as soon as possible, and save people!" ”

Chen looked at her mother with some shock, she ...... Are you talking about the father?

Mrs. Jiang took a long breath and said, "I didn't know until the moment I was knocked on the door by the Jinyi guard that he and His Majesty not only had political disagreements. He looked at Shousuke's position and his eyes were hot, thinking that he could stand on tiptoe, so he tiptoed desperately, and didn't look at the stability of the bricks under his feet! It's like the gambler who has gone down, losing with red eyes, just thinking about turning over the book, his wife is also gone, the house is also gone, and even his elbow is gone! The next time you have such relatives at home, you will either be kicked out of the casino and hold him to death, or you will be hacked to death when you see him play! The disaster of the province affects the family, and it can be regarded as the Taifu taking care of relatives! ”

When Chen heard this, he burst into tears again.

Yang Anqin said with tears in her eyes: "Amanxiu is crying, my sister-in-law has something to ask you." ”

"Sister-in-law......"

Yang Anqin pointed at Chen Yuanmin and said: "Don't look at your brother, just look at Chen Qian, this is his only bloodline, please take care of one or two." It's a long stream, and you need to find a family member to send. ”

Mother Hu choked up and said: "The county lord pleaded for mercy, and children under the age of ten were allowed to follow their biological mother to work in the textile factory. ”

Mrs. Jiang also oozed tears: "Good master! "If there is a soul, I will bless you when I die.

Yang Anqin walked to the fence, touched her grandson's little face and said, "Good boy, you have to listen to your mother, don't mess with your mother, you know?" ”

Chen Yuanmin responded in tears.

Mrs. Jiang said calmly: "Grandma, you are a literate person, remember not to leave your children's schoolwork." It is necessary to teach him to read and write, and even more so to teach him to behave in the world. ”

Li cried: "After the sinner, what is the use of reading and writing? ”

Mrs. Jiang looked at Chen: "Taifu always needs staff, I have no other wishes, I hope you will say a favor for your nephew in the future." ”

Chan nodded.

Mrs. Jiang asked again: "How many years are you going to stay in the textile factory?" Lifetime? What about children? ”

Li sobbed and said, "I've been fifteen years, and my brother has been ten years." I was supposed to go today, but my aunt brought me here. ”

Mrs. Jiang was about to speak, when a crisp children's voice sounded: "Grandma! ”

It was Xu Jingchang who came with Xu Qing. Mrs. Jiang got up from the ground and walked to the fence in three steps and two steps: "Brother Qing!" ”

Xu Jingchang lightly ordered: "Open the door!" ”

The jailer took out the key and opened the door. Xu Qing jumped in and threw himself into Mrs. Jiang's arms: "Grandma, I miss you so much!" I haven't seen you in a long time! ”

The tears that Mrs. Jiang had just held back fell suddenly. hugged Xu Qing tightly: "My brother, you have grown taller again." "The two families are at odds, and she can only ask Chen to take Xu Qing when she goes to someone else's house to eat. knew that there was today, so she wouldn't care about her husband's ban, so what if she went to the Dingguo Mansion every day? When she was young, she was busy serving her in-laws, busy with her concubines, and her own sons and grandsons had no good life to take care of. Only Xu Qing, only Xu Qing......

Xu Qing put his arm around Mrs. Jiang's neck and said, "Grandma, Daddy said you are going to go far away, don't you go, okay?" ”

Mrs. Jiang is in tears, she is old, and she is not very afraid of death, but she hurts her children and grandchildren. Touching Xu Qing's little head, Xie Xu Jingchang was able to bring the young child to the filthy realm of the cell at the last moment. How many lies do you have to coax a child not to wonder about the gloom of this place? No matter how clean it is, it's still a prison cell. Maybe Xu Qing will be simply shocked by the environment of the prison, and maybe he will be frightened by the truth that the adults are trying to cover up. Xu Jingchang's kindness made Mrs. Jiang hate her husband even more. calmed down her emotions and didn't want to bluff the child, Mrs. Jiang slowly explained: "The weather in Beijing is too cold, and Grandma Tai can't stand it, so Grandma Tai goes to the south to care for the elderly." ”

Xu Qing said innocently: "Then I'll go to the south to see you when I grow up!" ”

This is unlucky! Mrs. Jiang hurriedly said: "My brother wants to study and practice martial arts, and don't think about having fun with the old man." When you're old, you don't have to work, and then come to the south to find grandma to play, okay? ”

Xu Qing nodded: "That grandma has to wait for me, and she can't forget me." ”

Mrs. Jiang smiled and kissed Xu Qing: "I won't forget, no one will forget you." ”

Xu Qing raised a big smile: "I won't forget Grandma." ”

Mrs. Jiang stretched out her hand: "Let's pull the hook." ”

Xu Qing stretched out his little hand, and the little fingers of an old man and a small one were clasped together. Chen watched and cried uncontrollably.

Xu Jingchang said again: "I'm here to pick up Chen Gong." ”

Yang Anqin's eyes widened.

Xu Jingchang said: "The Taifu has a meritorious service in saving the driver, Your Majesty wants to canonize the princess, she redeems her life with a knight, and begs Your Majesty to let Chen Gong go." ”

Yang Anqin said: "What about her county lord?" ”

Xu Jingchang said: "The princess has not been canonized, and she can only be redeemed by the county lord." Only His Majesty was reluctant, and he was afraid that he would not be able to explain to the courtiers, so he said that he was ransomed with the princess. ”

The difference between the princess and the county lord is not only the grade. The princess belongs to the royal family, and the county lord is only a clan. Yang Anqin sat on the ground dejectedly, covering her face and crying, four girls, thank you, thank you, thank you! Thank you for saving my son, and in the next life, you will not be disappointed.

Xu Jingchang has always liked the spicy Yang Anqin, the aunt and aunt who gave him pocket money when he had nothing. It's not good to be sympathetic, but when you're helpless, what you need most is sympathy.

Telling the jailer to take care of Mrs. Jiang and Yang Anqin is all that can be done. At least ensure that they are not tortured until they die. Working for several days and nights in a row, coupled with worrying about Tingfang's body, Xu Jingchang was very haggard. Mrs. Jiang couldn't hold Xu Qing enough, but she knew that there was no unbroken feast in the world, and the crying that she forcibly stopped blocked her throat. He said in a hoarse voice: "It's not good here, my uncle will take the child back." ”

Mrs. Jiang was still a little serious when she was young, and when she got old, she was only kind. When he was in Nanchang, he took care of Xu Jingchang's family. Xu Jingchang was stunned for a long time and called out his grandmother.

Madame Jiang waved her hand, not wanting to speak again. Xu Qing was taken out of the cell, led by Xu Jingchang, and walked out step by step: "Grandma, I will make someone bring you delicious food, and don't forget to give me delicious food!" ”

Mrs. Jiang nodded solemnly: "Okay." ”

Xu Qing shouted again: "You have to come to see me when you are free." ”

Mrs. Jiang said, "I sometimes come to see you at night. ”

Xu Qing smiled brightly: "Okay!" I'll wait for you. ”

"Hmm."

Chen went to see Chen Qian again, and when he learned that Chen Gong had been rescued, Chen Qian said calmly: "The fourth sister thinks thoughtfully, I have a future, but he is still unmarried. Although he wore a sinful body, he still brazenly begged his aunt to find a family affair for him. Don't ask for talent, you can look at him. ”

Chen Gong, who was released, said word by word: "I will take good care of my nephew." ”

Chen Qian said: "You take care of yourself, I don't believe you." ”

"Big brother, you believe me!"

"Get out! I don't believe you, you don't have to worry about a day when you are a child, you just need to be honest and obedient! My son doesn't need you to take care of him. He looked at the Li family again, "Fifteen years is not a long time, and the fourth aunt and grandmother of our family may be able to fish you out in advance." At that time, you were only in your thirties, so find a good family to marry. I am thick-skinned today, and I beg my aunt for mercy. I also asked my aunt not to be overly sad, to live a long life, and to take care of my wife and children for my nephew. After speaking, he got up and knelt down and kowtowed three times to Chen.

Chen cried and nodded: "I will, don't worry." ”

"Aunt Xie."

Li shook his head and said: "I won't marry, I will guard you for the rest of my life, I will be buried with you when I die, and I will not be separated from each other for the rest of my life." If it weren't for the children, I'd rather go with you. ”

Chen Qian stretched out his hand and stroked his wife's face: "Don't say stupid things, you will do it if you remember me in your heart." ”

"I never say stupid things." Li said, "We will be husband and wife again in the next life." ”

"Okay."

"A gentleman promises a thousand gold."

"A promise!"

=======

Tingfang burned for four days, and finally survived the infection. Only the person lost weight again, and the imperial physician said depressedly: "County Lord, I can write a book just to save you." ”

Ting Fang smiled weakly: "Thank you for saving me several times." ”

Doctor Wang smiled: "Thank you for saving Your Majesty, otherwise the court will be angry with that corrupt official, and we will have no way to live." "The imperial doctor serves the royal family, and if Yan Hongxin succeeds, Empress Yan will definitely be in charge of palace affairs. As a subordinate, who doesn't want a neat boss? It's still a comfortable life under the management of Princess Qin.

Ting Fang sighed: "I lived in the Qianqing Palace for four days, and I don't know how to arrange me in the future." "The director of later generations plans to film her accepting the harem of Emperor Zhaoning and Xu Jingchang? Or are you going to shoot Emperor Zhaoning for accepting her and Xu Jingchang's harem? Obviously, he is taking the main drama route, but in the future, eighty percent of them will take the romance drama route, and his liver hurts.

While talking, Li Chuhui came in. The circles under his eyes were red, and he climbed on the kang and threw himself into Tingfang's arms: "Taifu......"

Ting Fang hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Li Chuhui sobbed, she was aggrieved and wanted to die. Just now, her father decreed that she deposed her mother. Kunning Palace was emptied, and the five princes were handed over to Concubine Jin. It is true that no one will treat her slowly, but she is keenly aware that the palace people have looked at her differently. There is no way that her brother will inherit the throne, and her father's eyes will gradually turn to the heir. She didn't know if her father would be angry with her, she had to curry favor with the Taifu, a courtier who was supposed to bow to her.

Li Chuhui grew up almost overnight and retreated from the innocence of a child. She is no longer the queen's concubine, and her mother will no longer be mentioned. The sin is not as good as the married woman, but where can it really be the same as the married woman? Without half of the courtiers, the father will be too busy to take care of anyone, including her.

Looking at Ting Fang with teary eyes, as the dignity of a princess, she couldn't say anything flattering, biting her lip, and didn't say a word. Eunuch Sun was a little anxious, but he didn't dare to show it. He said silently in his heart: Princess, now is not the time to be sexual!

Ting Fang likes Li Chuhui very much, he is smart and studious, and his etiquette is also good. is a little arrogant, but people are princesses, and it's strange if they aren't arrogant. So Wen Yan asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Li Chuhui was stunned for a long time before he said: "My mother was deposed......"

Ting Fang smiled bitterly: "Eldest princess, my family is also dying." ”

Li Chuhui: "......"

Ting Fang said: "No way, no. Your Majesty is not a ruthless person, and His Royal Highness will go to your Majesty again in two days, and don't let the palace people bully Lingtang. Princess Qin is a proper person, Your Highness can rest assured. ”

Li Chuhui pursed his mouth, fell on Tingfang and continued to cry.

Ting Fang felt sympathy, this unlucky princess. When Emperor Zhaoning came in with Xu Jingchang, he saw this scene. Emperor Zhaoning pulled Li Chuhui up: "Taifu is recuperating from his injuries, what is so sad, let's cry with my father." ”

"Father's ......"

Emperor Zhaoning sighed: "Father will not deliberately bully your mother, she is a little stupid, but this time it has nothing to do with her." It's just that she can't be the queen anymore. ”

Li Chuhui asked, "Are you still in the future?" ”

Emperor Zhaoning said: "No, the queen is too expensive to raise." ”

Xu Jingchang and Ting Fang: "......"

Emperor Zhaoning sat down with his daughter in his arms and said to Ting Fang: "The matter is almost done, you two will go and rest for a few days." The past year is spring ploughing, and it is busy in the dark. Don't think about home again, if the two children in the family are not at ease, bring them to the palace. There are also five princes, it is time to be enlightened. You don't have the time to take care of it in the study, and you'll hang it there for the time being, and I'll choose someone else to take care of it. I'll be 30 years old next year, and the so-called men and women are full, and I should have counted my birthday this year, and I didn't care about it at that time. Taking advantage of this reason, next year's issue of Enko. I thought about it for two days, and the horizontal and vertical have already been killed like this, so I simply changed the imperial examination together. As I said before, learn from the Tang Dynasty and learn from different disciplines. What do you think? ”

Ting Fang said: "Then in addition to mathematics, add the knowledge he wants to test." For example, if you take the examination of the Ministry of Engineering, you will have to ask Xu Dudu to come up with some questions; For those who take the household department, the mathematical requirements cannot be the same as those for the official department. Those who are in charge of agricultural affairs have to take the agricultural examination, and those who go to the military department have to rely on the military book. The provincial profession is not right, and it is all nonsense. ”

Emperor Zhaoning said: "It's easy to leak the question." ”

Ting Fang said: "The one who asks the question is trustworthy, and the leak of the question is regarded as an accomplice and cuts his whole family." "The upward channel is the cornerstone of a country's development, and whoever blocks it will die.

Emperor Zhaoning said: "That's what you did in Jiangxi, I know, copy Jiangxi." There is also a women's department, there are too few literate women in the world, and the first three women are recruited separately, and each department must keep a sufficient proportion. After the next time, I will be in a mixed place, and I must see the sweetness before I am willing to throw money at the woman. ”

What a draw! Are you disobedient? Yes! Get out of here! I'll work with women, and I'll see what you do!"

Emperor Zhaoning was about to go on, but Ting Fang hurriedly stopped: "Your Majesty, do you want to exhaust Xu Dudu?" ”

Emperor Zhaoning was shocked to realize that Xu Jingchang had been spinning for four days in a row, and hurriedly said, "I'll shut up, you go back first." ”

Li Chuhui said: "I want to go to Taifu's house to play." ”

Emperor Zhaoning said: "Next time, don't mess up." ”

Li Chuhui said: "I'm not messy, I want to play with Brother Han." ”

Eunuch Sun sighed softly, the best way to please parents is to please their children. Celestia finally figured it out.

Emperor Zhaoning said: "In a few days, Brother Han will come into the palace to play." ”

Li Chuhui had no choice but to respond.

Although Tingfang didn't sleep well, she was always resting. When he returned home, he first asked Xu Jingchang to sleep, and then asked Douzi: "Where is my mother?" ”

Douzi said: "Mrs. went to pick up Chen Wuye yesterday, and she was sick when she came back." I took the medicine and was asleep. ”

Ting Fang asked again: "What about Chen Gong?" ”

"Serving in the wife's house."

Ting Fang said: "He will serve a ghost, call him to come, I have something to order." ”

The beans went in response. Chen Gong, who was swollen from time to time, came in, and the public execution began today, the Chen family was one of the first offenders, and at this moment he was afraid that his family had died in Huangquan. Standing on the edge of the kang, tears swirling in his eyes: "Fourth sister......"

Ting Fang said: "You can't stay in Beijing, while I'm resting at home, I'll teach you surveying and mapping." The math books are all carefully read and read desperately. I don't know much about surveying and mapping, so it's all up to you to rely on mathematics to do your research. You also have three living cousins and one living nephew. There is no future after the sinner. I'll show you the way, you will go to Jiangxi in the next year, to draw a map, an accurate map. When the court has his hands free, I will send someone to assist you. Now, you take the lead, take your three cousins, and go through the mountains and rivers to do it. As long as you can draw two provinces. I can get you away with it. ”

Chen Gong looked at Ting Fang in astonishment.

Ting Fang said: "Your eldest brother is dead, and the four of you are obliged to step out of the way for his son." I will take care of his life, and his future depends on you. ”

Chen Gong said: "I don't go to Jiangxi. ”

"Huh?"

Chen Gong said: "That's my sister's territory, and I won't go to Anhui." You have the hands to do it. I'll go to Guangxi, the second brother is now in Guangxi, and our four brothers will first paint Liangguang, and then Hainan. ”

Ting Fang said: "It's too difficult to be born. ”

Chen Gong said: "It's better than death." ”

Ting Fang said in a low voice: "I will bury the Chen family." ”

Chen Gong suddenly said, "Where is the body of the seventh sister?" ”

Ting Fang said: "Put it in the temple and bury it in the ancestral tomb in the future." ”

Chen Gong said: "Can you let me bury her?" ”

Ting Fang nodded tiredly: "Whatever you want." "People die like lights go out, and Chen did promise this marriage, Chen Gong wanted to bury the person he liked with his own hands, and went with him.

While talking, Yuan Shouyi came to visit with Tingxiu. Ting Fang sent Chen Gong away, and said to Ting Xiu with a smile: "It is worthy of the Yuan family, and it is really fast enough to report to God." It's just that you have a big belly, so why run around. ”

Without saying a few words, Ping'er came in with the curtain lifted and said, "There are others who are faster than me." ”

Ting Fang pulled out a smile: "It's a cold day, what are you running?" ”

Ping'er blessed her body and said, "When I entered the door, I was listening to someone telling the porter, and no one was allowed to enter unless I was a close relative. I almost didn't let in. ”

Tingfang asked Ping'er: "How is your sister?" ”

Ping'er smiled: "Okay." The county lord loves his sister the most, when will he have another one? ”

Ting Fang waved his hand: "It is estimated that in the next ten years, I will not be idle for a day." ”

As soon as Yuan Shou saw that several women were talking, he helped Ting Xiu to sit down, and went back to look for a house to know virtue. He went to look for a house to know virtue, and Ting Shan immediately knew that Ting Xiu was coming, and he also shook his stomach into the main courtyard. When he entered the door, he said: "Okay, Mrs. Fu, you go and rest, Sister Ping and Fifth Sister have me to entertain you." ”

Ping'er smiled: "I'll go back to my parents' house, who asked you to entertain me?" ”

Ting Shan smiled: "This is the Xu family, your mother's family is in that house, I don't care if you go back there." ”

Ping'er said: "I'm too lazy to gag with you, I'll find my mother's brother by myself." Where is Chen Gong? ”

Ping'er worshiped Yang Anqin as her godmother, and Tingfang pointed to the East Chamber: "He is in front of my mother." There is also a nephew, the Fifth Army Textile Factory is aside, I don't have much to say at the moment, you watch it for me. The Fifth Army Textile Factory has a kindergarten, and the eldest cousin is literate to see if she can get to teach. I'm very busy, don't be idle. I'm going to open a women's course, so I'll pick up my homework book, you can't pass the first three sessions, don't even think about it in this life. ”

Ting Shan twitched the corners of her mouth: "You have a question?" Do you want to take the math test? ”

"Test!"

Ting Shan wailed: "I can't make it, I can't do it, I'm still going to make a fate." ”

Ting Xiu also said: "I just learned to count the household ......"

Ting Fang said depressedly: "I really owe you money in my last life!" From next year, the imperial examination system will be restructured, and probably all mathematics will be tested except for the Ministry of Rites. You two will go to the back of my eyes and tell my brothers about it. From today onwards, split half of the empty math! ”

Ping'er smiled: "Is the hospital recruiting women?" ”

Ting Fang said: "I said earlier that I would take a female doctor to the next department, Your Majesty is too busy to take care of it, you go to find the eldest sister." In the future, the palace affairs will be completely hers. "It's another unlucky guy who is going to be accepted into the harem of Emperor Zhaoning by later directors, so let's go ahead with the pseudo-queen.

Ping'er stretched out her hand to probe Tingfang's vein, and said, "The pulse is okay, the county lord should rest first, I really don't dare to disturb you." I'm going to stay for a while, but although the doctor is good, it's always inconvenient. ”

"What about your daughter?"

Ping'er smiled: "Bring your house, okay?" ”

Ting Fang smiled: "Okay." Don't ask me about housework, I'm recuperating. "When that's done, close your eyes and go to sleep.

The execution was cut from morning to night, and the main offender used a large general sword, that is, a blunt knife, and it took a lot of slashing to die, which can be described as exclusive to high-ranking officials. The female dependent was a quick knife and killed with one blow. The land was red with blood, and the executioner's severed arms were weak. Torches lit up the execution ground, and the people were no longer interested in watching. It was not until the early morning of the next day that all the executions were completed.

Emperor Zhaoning heard the report, and at the same time, he received another funeral report - the crown princess died.

======

The crown princess has not been very well since her husband committed suicide. Because the title of the former crown prince was not abolished, she still bears the name of the crown princess and lives in obscurity in the Zhaoning Dynasty. Winter has always been a difficult level for the weak, so she went silently at night. Li Xinghuai dragged his heavy steps, reported to the palace, and asked for his resignation to keep filial piety.

Emperor Zhaoning readily approved, and ordered the Ministry of Rites and the Zongren Mansion to be buried with the etiquette of the crown princess. When my mother died, I had to tell my grandfather about it. Li Xinghuai bid farewell to Emperor Zhaoning and went to the palace again.

The Emperor was a little sick, and he had been suffering from fatigue and palpitations for more than half a year, and anorexia, nausea, vomiting, and edema had made him miserable. He thought he was old, and no one in the royal family would know that there was murder in the sweet and soft food. Vitamin B1 deficiency is not yet recognized by people in this era. Ting Fang's exhortation to Emperor Zhaoning was regarded as filial piety by kind-hearted people, and hypocrisy by unkind-hearted people, only her husband and wife knew that what Tingfang wanted was the result of the emperor's bad death.

Emperor Zhaoning felt that Tingfang was always soft-hearted at critical times, but her soft-heartedness this time was exactly the place. Take care of it, and have your own day to cure him. Emperor Zhaoning gritted his teeth when he thought of the official who intended to assassinate him, and he was happy that his father could use that kind of thing, and sure enough, God had a punishment.

The news that the old ministers were slaughtered did not hide from the emperor. Once again, he felt that the times were far away from him. Looking at his grandson, the Emperor Taishang said weakly: "Say, what's wrong." ”

Seeing this, Li Xinghuai only dared to say: "It's nothing, my grandson just came to see the emperor's grandfather." ”

The Emperor sneered: "Good things can't come to me, he can't wait to be angry with me." ”

Li Xinghuai said: "It's just that my grandson misses you, and I ask Your Majesty to let your grandson come to pay a New Year's greeting." ”

The Emperor said, "Is he good to you?" After speaking, he smiled again, "Even if you are not treated well, you dare not say it." Inside and outside, there are Xu Jingchang's people. ”

Li Xinghuai was not easy to answer.

The Emperor moved his body uncomfortably, his vest ached, his chest seemed to be blocked with cotton, and it was difficult to breathe. The Tai Hospital is coming to ask for a pulse every day, and he continues his life. He wondered if his son had deliberately made him so miserable. The little eunuch rubbed the acupuncture points on his back for him, but it had no effect at all. The food that was served, but after two bites, I vomited it all.

I can't eat, and my body has long been out of meat. But due to illness, he was swollen, like a steamed bun. The doctor prescribed diuretic medicine, but it could only be better for a long time after taking it, but it was swollen again at the moment. After spitting out, the emperor was like a fish dragged out of the water, breathing heavily. Li Xinghuai didn't dare to tell the story of his mother's death, and hurriedly waited for the emperor to change his clothes, and hurriedly withdrew from the palace. He can't let the emperor die in front of him, he still has younger siblings and children, he can't be implicated.

However, the Emperor Taishang is sick to this extent, and he will die sooner or later. Vitamin B1 deficiency can induce heart failure. Ting Fang didn't know such details, she only knew that beriberi would die of special suffering. On the twenty-ninth of the year, the death knell of the palace sounded, and the Emperor Taishang finally swallowed his breath after being tormented by beriberi for half a year. Emperor Zhaoning issued an order to sip the dynasty for three days, and he just missed the big court meeting on the first day of the first month. Having just killed countless corrupt officials, the treasury is full again after many years. But Emperor Zhaoning didn't plan to spend too much money, and Li Xinghuai, who was doing a funeral, saw that Emperor Taishang didn't have a thick burial, so he immediately cut his expenses. The funeral of the first crown princess was not attended by many people. The close relatives of the clan had to come and go, and Ting Yao sent someone a memorial ceremony, and there was no sound.

Thinking of the blood that could not be washed away on the land outside the city, Li Xinghuai could only think that it was a luxury to be alive. Emperor Zhaoning treated him not harshly.

This year's New Year is not festive at all. From the emperor to the officials, almost every family keeps filial piety. The father is mourned, and the married daughter is declining; My grandfather was mourned, my granddaughter was Xiaogong, and my grandson-in-law was numb. Even if he is a criminal minister, he cannot stop the living from keeping filial piety. The Dingguo Mansion didn't even hang lanterns, and the top and bottom were changed into plain clothes, and only children under the age of seven did not need to be guarded, and they were still wearing bright red.

Tingfang seized the opportunity to teach Chen Gong everything she knew about surveying and mapping, and Chen Gong copied it with silk, for fear of forgetting a word. Chen looked at Tingfang with injuries, but he tried his best to teach, and he didn't know what to say.

Ting Yao was afraid that the Chen family would be sad, so she went to the Dingguo Mansion for the New Year. Humility is not respectful, it stands to reason that Tingfang does not need to keep filial piety, let alone Tingyao. But the two sisters wore plain clothes, which was a little comfort to Chen.

The fifth day of the first lunar month opened, and a new chapter was opened in the officialdom of Zhaoning for three years. The first holy decree of Emperor Zhaoning announced to the world that from this year's Enke, the imperial examination system will be reformed. For all test takers, equal emphasis will be placed on arithmetic and literature, a female subject will be added, the eight shares will be abolished, and the subject will be divided into different subjects.

The world's readers are in an uproar! Several books written by Ting Fang in her early years were immediately sold out, and related books on agriculture, water conservancy, and official system were also sold out, which can be described as expensive paper in Luoyang. All the printing houses are crazy about printing books, and the lights are constantly on all night. Layers of lifters gathered in front of the Dingguo Mansion, kneeling and begging Tingfang to accept the apprentices.

In stark contrast to this, is the crazy Jiangxi. All the scholars in Jiangxi rushed to tell each other: "The imperial examination has been restructured!" The imperial examination system has been restructured! According to our Jiangxi method, it has been changed! Chitose Taifu! Chitose! ”

The scholars from Jiangxi were all laughing wildly: "Let's torture those scumbags to death with logic questions!" Hahahaha! ”

"It's a great relief to be abused all day long! Do you say that Taifu's set of "Five-Year Imperial Examination, Three-year Simulation" is sold in other provinces? ”

"The total score is passed, and those who fail in mathematics are not considered to pass, hahaha, it's not in vain that I have studied mathematics for so many years!"

"The textile factory children's school plays elementary school math! Their seven or eight-year-old dolls can be tested for children's students, right? ”

"Inevitably! But there are so many candidates in Jiangxi, how many can be recorded? ”

"The whole country will take the test together!"

"Ahahahaha, really? Then what else can I do? ”

"So hurry up the exam, there is no one in the imperial court, and Jiangxi will be restricted in the future. Besides, Jiangnan people are so ruthless in reading, and when their mathematics catches up, then there is nothing to do with us! ”

"Oh, you're right, I'm going to take my sister to take the exam together, the first three girls are recorded separately, how much do you say our sisters in Jiangxi can go? Hahaha Taifu is too ruthless, if you can't read, you can't transfer to a regular job, all the girls in Jiangxi are literate, right? ”

"What is literacy, only dozens of people are recorded in one subject, and they have already been robbed by the official lady."

In the midst of frolicking, Emperor Zhaoning issued a second holy decree and established the Ministry of National Defense, ranking ahead of the six ministries. Under the supervision of the Governor of National Defense, the research and development of armaments and weapons was transferred from the Ministry of Industry to the Ministry of National Defense. The Nanchang R&D Department moved to the capital, and the firearms ship was merged into the Ministry of National Defense. According to the skills of the official position, belonging to the military general system, the title of the Nanchang R&D Department of the junior, intermediate, high, total four engineers. People's livelihood related to such as housing construction, water conservancy engineering, and mechanical innovation and improvement were merged into the Yuheng Qing Officials Division of the Ministry of Industry, which is also a fourth-level engineer, but belongs to the civil official system. State-owned enterprises are subordinate to the Department of State-owned Enterprises, and their management officials are granted the official position of household department.

Nanchang R&D Office and state-owned enterprises in Jiangxi and Anhui erupted in the earth-shattering cheers! Cuihua ran all the way to Junzi Mo's house, and laughed wildly: "Jun Qianhu! I'm an official! Hahahaha! I'm an official! Who says women are inferior to men? I'm going to ask my mother for a decree now, and I'm angry with my useless brother! ”

Jun Zimo said disdainfully: "Your output is enough!" ”

Cuihua shook Junzimo and said: "They also said that I am not good to be alone, and I can earn my life by marrying an engineer, I am rare!" Now my official position is higher than that of their men, hahaha! Jun Qianhu, do you know, I never thought that there was today, I thought that I would be able to be a big girl in front of my master in my life, I didn't expect me to be an official! As an official, do you dare to think about it? Just three years ago, you wouldn't have dared to think about it! Cuihua said and tears began to fly, "Sister Jun, I'm an official!" ”

Jun Zimo smiled: "Crazy one, I'll see how crazy you are." That being said, she was in the same mood when she was sealed off a thousand households. Jumping into the dragon gate, it will never be the same again. Zhou Yi and others have sent congratulatory gifts, and to this day, they have their own futures, and they are no different from each other as brothers and sisters. Junzi Mo also sprinkled heroic posts and held the banquet for Cuihua.

The decree of Emperor Zhaoning was issued, and everyone in the world remembered that there were workshops in Nanchang, gathering the elite of arithmetic in the world. Even if the top group goes to the capital, those who stay in Nanchang will inevitably be stronger than others. The scholar ran to Nanchang with his life, but the moment he saw Nanchang City, he was shocked, full of limbs and hundreds of bones!

There are many high-rise buildings in Nanchang City, the small two floors planned by Tingfang have long been demolished, and there is a shortage of housing, and the houses in the city have begun to be rebuilt and heightened under the design of the R&D Department. Four- and five-story houses can be seen everywhere, and factories and residences are planned outside the city. The road is as wide as a river, busy vehicles, and the lights are not turned off all night, this is the richest man in the world, Nanchang!

For the first time, many people see such a colorful city, where the skirts of the ladies are layered on top of each other, and the precious paddy field clothes can be seen everywhere. There were no children scurrying around the streets, because of the huge amount of people employed in the factory, almost no female dependents were idle, and their children were all encircled in the factory and mine education system. On the outermost side of each large factory, you can always hear the sound of reading.

On the large square in front of the Yamen, the troupe composed of old men was singing, and the level of acrobatics was uneven, but they were extremely happy. A teenager who fled to his uncle's house in Jiangnan with his mother because of the flood that year looked at his completely unfamiliar hometown in a daze, he couldn't find a neighbor he recognized, and he couldn't find a familiar street.

Under the sunshine of early spring, there is only one word to describe the entire Nanchang City.

Singing and dancing!

The boy leaned against the stone and cried, this is my hometown, this is the place where I was born, I have seen the prosperity with my own eyes. The towering dikes along the river will protect the land from flooding. You can live here to the fullest, study hard, marry a wife and have children. Join them when they are old and retire for the rest of their lives.

I'll never leave my hometown again, because there's no place like mine!

========

Zhaoning three years, the world Wang Tian.

The massacre was intimidated to every corner of the world, and no official dared to have any illusions about the private newspaper. But then came the rise of industry and commerce, and shrewd officials saw the spark and knew that their purses could be abundant again. The old party was purged of the old party, leaving behind a large political legacy and voids. The New Party happily picked up the fruits of victory and scooped up the money of merchants, and they all felt that Wang Tian was not bad.

Salt and iron are still in the hands of the state, in other words, salt merchants are still extravagant, but their money can no longer hoard land, either contract large-scale farming, or invest in industry and commerce. In order to stimulate commerce, commercial taxes were suppressed extremely low, and the chaos of the financial industry that grew savagely in the early days did not dare to be overly restrictive. In any era, there will inevitably be those who benefit and those who suffer. From the central to the local level, all kinds of demons emerge in an endless stream, testing the level of local officials' governance, and also testing the mind of Emperor Zhaoning, who is not angry to death.

The imperial examination is in full swing of preparations, and no woman has ever raised a career before, and the women of the first three sessions do not have to kill all the way from childhood, but directly enter Beijing to take the examination. There are not many women who dare to hit the luck, so the competition is also very weak. Cui Rong rushed back to the capital from Hunan in a murderous manner and joined the Ye family's preparation army. Xia Boguang and Cui Rong looked at each other, sparks flew everywhere, and the two people who were good at mathematics were thinking - I might be the first female champion to kill her! After the shooting, I started to review again.

Liu Yongfeng glanced at the Nanchang scene, and immediately dragged hundreds of thousands of family funds to Anhui and speculated on real estate. The arable land must be the king's land, but the land in the city can be freely circulated. There are countless hands and feet that can be done in the definition of cultivated land, so Liu Yongfeng did not step on the thunder of Emperor Zhaoning, and honestly took a huge amount of property to hoard land and build commercial buildings in various cities in Anhui. He has thought about it, after this big profit, he began to get involved in the shipping industry, so the money he earns now must be used to support the civil ship research and development department of Yu Hengqing Division, so that he can get the first private admission certificate. Liu Yongfeng completely figured out Emperor Zhaoning's routine, as long as it was beneficial to the imperial court, or even said that the advantages outweighed the disadvantages, no matter how he tossed it, he could open the door to convenience. On the contrary, hehe. The only thing that is depressed is that he has never had a son. Since he finished the economic war, several sons-in-law began to rub money and wipe back. But Liu Yongfeng was not happy, he was condescending, didn't he just see that he was not only rich, but also listened to the sky. This time I will take advantage of it, and I want to be beautiful! is really the Liu family's small-bellied chicken intestines, is it a waste of fame?

After Li Xinghuai resigned, the Zongren Order became vacant again. The clan was frightened by Emperor Zhaoning, who had just committed a massacre, and no one dared to take the lead. Zuo Zongzheng looked back and forth, and the women who were doing the division of the field and the women's imperial examination together, immediately folded and asked the princess of the sect to be the order of the sect. Emperor Zhaoning originally wanted Ting Yao to be the Minister of Internal Affairs, but since the Zongren Mansion wanted to rob it, he would take it as well. Because of this, the Chen family had two more volumes of edicts, only to see Yue's eyes like fire, chasing Tingshan all day long, forcing her to go up and earn fame for herself. Ting Shan was about to give birth, and shouted angrily at home: "You want the grade, you go to the test yourself!" You're better at counting than I am! ”

Yue gritted his teeth hatefully: "You think I don't want to, my father said that if I dare to go, he will cut off the father-daughter relationship with me!" ”

"Are you going to do it?"

Yue Shi said angrily: "You are cowardly! Unfilial piety is a heinous crime, can I still be an official if he opens his mouth? Can you? You have such conditions, but you don't take the test! When everyone comes to their senses, which one of you has ever taken the test with bad words? Your eldest aunt has two daughters, and now she has three axes, two are one product, and one is three products! My three sons and daughters, if you can't even get back the seven grades, I'm not done with you! ”

Yue Shi said again: "And Ting Pei!" You don't listen to your grandfather as a matchmaker, I don't want the Yue family's daughter! People's sons marry and take a female official back, my son marries a relative, and he takes a literate child, and his father is not allowed to take the test! I might as well marry an illiterate! ”

Ting Pei: "...... mother, you compare yourself with your aunt, you just want them to compare with Ting Fang's sisters, is that something ordinary people can compare?"

Ting Jue also said: "You can't climb out of your own stomach, so you want to open it!" Who's factor is not seventy or eighty, fifty young jinshi! The second brother will be able to enter the Jinshi before the age of fifty, and you will be able to wear the phoenix crown at the age of 100! ”

Yue's anger pinched Tingji's ears: "You want to try Hu Yan with me again?" Taifu is not someone else's! That's your sister! I don't want you to be a master, can't you be a master of the seventh grade? Is it excessive? ”

Ting Jue was pulled and screamed: "I'm going to read a book, is it okay to read a book?" Why can't the son-in-law ask his mother-in-law for a decree! Otherwise, you won't be able to pull your son-in-law! ”

It's okay not to mention it, but when I mention Yue's family, it's even more frivolous: "His mother is not rare for his fate!" His mother went to Nanchang Women's Hospital to be the principal, why does everyone have an official position, but my father doesn't allow me to take the exam! I'm worse than any other! After saying that, I cried sadly.

The three sons and daughters gathered around for a while to persuade her, and Ting Shan repeatedly promised that she would participate in the imperial examination after giving birth, so she coaxed the Yue family.

This is also a helpless thing, and it is actually quite difficult for women to sing loudly. Yue's family was stuck by his father, and he didn't dare to step on the thunder pool at all, and the handle of unfilial piety was too big. She went to take the exam, if she couldn't pass the exam, it would be fine, should Emperor Zhaoning be admitted to the exam? If you don't record it, it's unfair, and if you record it, you will be attacked and annihilated by people all over the world. The old-style scholars who learn the eight strands can't wait to eat the flesh of Ye Taifu. They are very wronged, they suddenly restructured when they are old, and their previous efforts are ruined, and they hate it rightly. Therefore, she can't make trouble for her niece, let alone make Emperor Zhaoning feel troublesome. I hated the old pedant in my heart, but I had no choice but to urge my children to be motivated and motivated at home. She actually wants to wear an official uniform by herself, even once.

Ting Fang was busy day and night, and finally completed the two major events of Wang Tian and the imperial examination at the end of summer. Emperor Zhaoning read the excerpt of the last distribution of land and property, slumped on the throne, and complained to Tingfang: "I will not be an emperor again in my next life." ”

Ting Fang smiled: "What do you do?" ”

Emperor Zhaoning said categorically: "Gentleman! ”

Ting Fang laughed: "Your Majesty, you were originally a fool in your life, and you made people happy. ”

Emperor Zhaoning said angrily: "Don't recruit me!" I'm tired and irritable easily. The Ministry of Internal Affairs routinely asked me if I would hunt in the autumn or not. I thought it was a bit expensive, but I still had to go. Shangwu doesn't pay lip service, I don't set an example, they all deaf ears. You go with Xu Jingchang and play a few rabbits as stuffed animals, which is a pastime. ”

Ting Fang rubbed her forehead and said, "I'd rather Your Majesty give me a few days off." I hate it the most, I have to get up at 4 o'clock in the morning, and the chickens haven't woken up yet! I didn't even have a break, and told me to go hunting. I'm not going. ”

Emperor Zhaoning said flatteringly: "Good Taifu, if you don't go, how can I open a women's martial arts!" You go and kill all sides and come out on top, so I can say that women can also join the army! ”

Ting Fang said: "Xu Dudu won't end up?" Liu Dudu won't end up? You don't allow that superior to end up, and I can take the lead. In terms of reading and literacy, our Xu Dudu is far inferior to me, and in terms of riding and archery martial arts, I have never bargained once. ”

Emperor Zhaoning said: "You are stronger than most, if you really want to take the first, it is not beautiful, and people say that I deliberately arranged it." Xu Dudu's children's skills, you can't compare with him. I don't expect women to join the army, after all, the strength is small, and I can't call them to the front line unless I have to, and it's not that the man is dead. But give an opening, and the female dependents of the military tun also follow the training, and there is always some benefit when there is danger. For example, if you weren't so good, I would have died last winter. You are a master, you deserve it. ”

When it came to this, Ting Fang had to respond.

Emperor Zhaoning smiled with satisfaction: "The children are all brought with them, and they are all locked up in the capital every day, and they are all called stupid." ”

And so the hunt was settled. The royal hunting ground is on the outskirts of Beijing, and the current dynasty is not very martial, so the range is not very large. The emperor fought a few times when he was young, and when he was old and lazy, he became a place for the gentlemen to play secretly. This time, I heard that Emperor Zhaoning was coming for the first time, and he was busy buying rabbits and roe deer everywhere to rush to the garden, and he also hurriedly sent a lot of prey such as yellow sheep and foxes outside the gate, and filled the hunting ground to ensure that Emperor Zhaoning could smash one or two no matter what, so he invited Emperor Zhaoning to express his readiness.

On the third day of the eighth month, Emperor Zhaoning took the military generals of Wenchen and marched to the hunting ground. There is a palace in the hunting ground, which is the place where the emperor lived after his abdication. After Emperor Zhaoning forced the first emperor here, he didn't come back to see it. The main hall has long been cleaned up into the simple appearance that Emperor Zhaoning likes, and after living with his cronies, the tents of the courtiers began to be set up outside.

Ting Fang didn't need to live in a tent, it was enough for them to live with Emperor Zhaoning. The fourth prince and Xu Qing have the smallest age difference, and they were still following the rules before, playing with their heads, and running crazy in the courtyard under the pretext of flying kites. Emperor Zhaoning comfortably hugged Ye Han, and Li Chuhui fed him cakes on the side. In March, Concubine Ning, the mother of the four princes, gave birth to a little princess, and Emperor Zhaoning was happy and was directly promoted to Concubine Ning. Li Chuhui knows that his father likes children, especially his daughter. She was the only princess before, who was favored, but now that she has a share of favors, she naturally has to do everything she can to protect her status. Concubine Ning was able to give birth, and Emperor Zhaoning favored her more and more. A princess who has a mother to blow the wind is not the same as a princess who does not have a mother.

Ye Han had already played with Li Chuhui, and after eating the cake, he reached out to Li Chuhui to hug him. Li Chuhui has practiced riding and archery for many years, and his strength is not small, so he picked up Ye Han lightly. Ye Han chuckled and kissed Li Chuhui on the cheek: "Big sister is good-looking." ”

Emperor Zhaoning couldn't stop laughing: "You can talk sweetly at such a young age, but it's a pity that your eldest sister is too big than you, and it's not a good match, so it's good for you to marry your second sister in the future?" 166 Reading Network
