said that Xu Yan returned home after the banquet.

Father Xu Huaiyuan prepared a grand welcome ceremony for his son.

Men, women and children from Dinghai County also poured into the streets, ready to catch a glimpse of Wenqu Xing. After all, since the establishment of Haishi County, there has never been such a strange thing as Lian Xiaoxiao Sanyuan.

Xu Yan also really experienced the glory of a famous scholar, and sighed that Daming is indeed a scholar.

Xu Huaiyuan's illness has been completely cured, and his body will be very good.

Seeing his son Lianzhong County, the government, and the hospital, Xu Huaiyuan was excited and burst into tears, and even called for the blessing of his ancestors, and the ancestral tomb of the old Xu family was smoking.

Xu Yan said in his heart, this is too exaggerated. This is a showman, if you win the lift, Dad will not be happy to go crazy?

But seeing his father so happy, Xu Yan couldn't say anything.

Filial piety and filial piety, naturally follow the father.

Xu Yan cooperated with his father in front of the neighbors and talked about his experience of connecting three yuan, which earned enough face for his father.

Back at home, Xu Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dad, can we keep a low profile in the future?"

Unexpectedly, Xu Huaiyuan shook his head again and again: "My Xu family finally came up with a show, how can I be low-key?" ”

“......”

"By the way, since my son has already passed the student examination, it can be regarded as a career."

Xu Huaiyuan's words changed abruptly and said: "After starting a business, you will have a family." After thinking clearly for my father, the daughter of the Hong family is very suitable, so I set up a marriage for you. ”

Xu Yan was surprised.

"Daddy is already engaged?"

"The father knows that my son is embarrassed to open this mouth, so the father will come for you!"

Xu Yan was completely speechless.

However, since the father has already decided to get married, Xu Yan is not easy to refute.

After all, in this era, marriage matters pay attention to the orders of parents, matchmakers, and it is a great rebellion to resist the orders of fathers.

Fortunately, he and Hong Miaoyun had met before, and he had a good impression of this girl.

In terms of appearance, Xu Yan seems to have earned...

"Why is my father so anxious?"

"Of course, it's because not long ago, Lord Hong was transferred from the Hanlin Academy to the middle school."

Xu Huaiyuan said very happily: "Although the Hanlin Academy is quiet, after all, it is all idle duties. And the people in the middle of the book are different, that is the close minister of the Son of Heaven! ”

Xu Yan suddenly realized. It turned out that this Lord Hong was Hong Cheng.

Hong Cheng is the son of Hong Zhong, the former Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and Zhengde was only sixteen years old in five years, and he became famous as a teenager.

According to the records of the Ming Dynasty, this big man was a scholar in the middle school.

Although the Zhongshu Sheren is only a seven-rank official, he has great power. This is very similar to the Imperial History.

Because they have too much power in their hands, the court can only lower their ranks to form a checks and balances.

The Chinese scholars are in charge of writing edicts, edicts, silver books, iron coupons, etc.;

In addition, the Wenhua Palace, the Wuying Palace, and the cabinet and the cabinet room, the system room also have the middle scholars, and the posts are uncertain. The Wenhua Hall is a housekeeper, and he is in charge of writing books; Wuying Palace, in charge of the seal to write treasures, books, albums; The person in charge of the house, the secretary of the civil office, the translation of the edict and foreign documents, the unveiling of the post, the military department to record the merits, the survey of the base book; The person who made the house made the edict, the book, the treasure text, the jade, the sermon, the tablet, the inscription and other documents, and the base book of the royal palace.

In short, the greatest job of the Zhongshu Sheren was to draft the edict for the emperor, which was basically the same as the duties of a secretary. This is a real Son of Heaven!

If the Son of Heaven has any major decisions, the people in the middle school are the first to know.

Basically, the people in the middle school are the absolute henchmen of the emperor.

It can be said that except for the fact that he was not stabbed below, there is no difference between the Zhongshu people and the eunuchs, and they all serve the emperor.

Dad really has a unique vision and found him such an old Taishan.

But Xu Yan always felt that something was wrong.

Hong Cheng Zhengde was sixteen years old when he was raised in the fifth year, and now he should be fifty-three years old, but Hong Miaoyun seems to be only fourteen or fifteen years old. According to the early marriage and early childbearing of people in the Ming Dynasty, this age is not very compatible.

Is she really Lord Hong's daughter? Are you sure it's not the old king next door?

"Dad, this daughter of the Hong family is not the old daughter of Lord Hong, right?"

Xu Huaiyuan sighed: "How do my son know that Lord Hong gave birth to Miss Miaoyun when she was almost forty years old, and he loves her very much, no matter what requests she makes, Lord Hong will meet them." None of her brothers enjoyed this treatment. ”

Xu Yan said in his heart, this is right.

The Hong family is a real family of eunuchs, and there have been countless officials from the Song Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty.

said that the Ming Dynasty produced several books.

Daddy's eye is really good.

If you want to mix in the Ming officialdom, you must have a backer.

The division commander is important, but the most reliable is Lao Taishan.

It is said that Lao Taishan picks his son-in-law with a lantern, but he doesn't know that his son-in-law is also picking Lao Taishan.

If Xu Yan remembers correctly, Hong Cheng has a son named Hong Lu, who is Hong Miaoyun's elder brother.

This Hong Yang is quite famous in history and once worked in the palace of King Yu.

It is said that Emperor Jiajing's heirs were not prosperous, and he gave birth to a total of four sons, one of whom died young. There are three left.

In the eighteenth year of Jiajing, the Son of Heaven set up the second son Zhu Zaili as the crown prince, the third son Zhu Zaiqi as the king of Yu, and the fourth son Zhu Zaizhen as the king of Jing. However, the crown prince was really short-lived, and he died in March of the 28th year of Jiajing, and Emperor Jiajing was very sad and called off the dynasty for three days.

At this point, Emperor Jiajing was left with two sons. Yuwang Zhu Zaikun was older and became the crown prince. However, Emperor Jiajing thought that Zhu Zaili died early after being made the crown prince, so he did not canonize the crown prince for a long time. At that time, some Taoist priests slandered Emperor Jiajing, putting forward the saying that "the two dragons do not meet", which caused Emperor Jiajing to be very indifferent to Zhu Zaikun.

If Xu Yan is not mistaken, in February of the 32nd year of Jiajing, the two kings of Yu and Jing will leave the palace and build a mansion in Beijing.

Above the court, there will also be the pro-Jing faction headed by Yan Song and the pro-Yu faction led by Xu Jie.

As a traverser, Xu Yan certainly knew that the final successor to the throne was Yuwang Zhu Zaikun, who later became Emperor Longqing.

It won't be long before Hong Yang will go out of the mountain and go to Zhu Zaikun's side to accompany the little prince to study.

Isn't this the legendary prince's team?

Although Hong Yang did not achieve such an achievement as Gao Gong Gao Xin Zheng in the end, he definitely had a place in Long Qing's heart.

Tsk, old Taishan is a close minister of the Son of Heaven.

The eldest brother is the future prince and close minister.

It smells so good!

In fact, Hong Yang is not only an official, but also a writer, a bibliophile, and a sculptor. He is very fond of collecting books, novels, and plays, and in his later years, he established the Qingping Mountain Hall in Renxiaofang, south of Hangzhou, which was one of the most famous bookstores in Hangzhou during the Jiajing period.

So it seems that the eldest brother is still walking with him.

If you have the chance, you can join forces, and you can even discuss drama novels together.
