In the sixteenth year of Hongzhi, Shangyuan Festival. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Capital.

When I got up this morning, the Shouning Marquis Mansion was very lively, and it was the Shangyuan Festival, and there was an endless stream of officials and gentry who came to give gifts to Shouning Marquis Zhang Heling, mainly because of a news spread at the beginning of the year:

Empress Zhang is happy again!

Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youzhu and Empress Zhang have been married for 16 years, and Empress Zhang gave birth to two princes and a princess, but unfortunately in addition to Zhu Hou's hard life, the second son and the eldest daughter of the emperor both died young, and the imperial heir was thin.

Zhu Youzhu has a very strong affection for Empress Zhang, and never mentions the matter of concubines, so that the thin heir has become the top priority related to the inheritance of the throne and the stability of the country.

In case the prince has three long and two short, the Ming Dynasty will not have an orthodox heir to the throne, there are not a few people surnamed Zhu, everyone wants to be the emperor, and they will provoke disputes for the throne, or they have the right to set up a puppet young emperor and command the world, the people will be miserable, and foreign races may also enter the Central Plains, and the Ming may fall into long-term turmoil.

Emperor Hongzhi had only one son, and now that Empress Zhang was pregnant, both flattering officials and loyal ministers were comforted.

It is best to give birth to a prince and grow up healthy and healthy, so that even if the prince is sick and unfortunate in the future, the heir will not be cut off.

Queen Zhang is pregnant, and the most beautiful ones are naturally the two brothers Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling.

The two young uncles of the country were already deeply valued by Emperor Hongzhi, and in recent years, they have repeatedly done some things that satisfy the emperor, and praised the two in the court many times.

The Shouning Marquis Mansion was lively, but Shouning Marquis Zhang Heling was not at home that day, he was ordered to enter the palace early in the morning, and Zhang Yanling, the uncle of Jianchang, stayed in his Earl's Mansion to spend all day drinking.

During the Chinese New Year, Zhang Yanling did not take a step out of the house, surrounded by beautiful wives and concubines, not only the Datong rouge and Yangzhou thin horses sent by his ministers, but also the married women who were seized from the people.

In Zhang Yanling's eyes, being an emperor is far less happy than him, guarding a yellow-faced woman, reviewing the recital every day, and can only daydream about immortality.

On the other hand, there are flowers around him, he wants money and money, he wants beautiful women and beautiful women, and he has enough wine and food, if he is tired of playing, he rides a horse to the street and walks around the "beauty pageant", and which woman he likes is directly taken back, Shuntian Mansion Yin does not dare to make a noise when he knows it, so he can only secretly go to the house to communicate.

The surname of this world is Zhu, but at the same time the surname is Zhang, just look at the status of the Zhang brothers, whoever says bad things about them in front of the emperor is not far from death!

The reason why Zhang Yanling is so arrogant is mainly due to the connivance of Emperor Hongzhi, and the root cause is that Zhang Yanling can do things that many ministers disdain, such as raising money for the royal family from some informal channels, or sending women into the palace when the emperor is depressed.

This time, Zhang Yanling occupied a married man, just because a small sedan chair blocked his way, he asked his entourage to overturn the sedan chair, and as a result, a beautiful woman in her twenties got up from the sedan chair.

Zhang Yanling thought about it, if Shuntianfu asked him for someone, he would send someone into the palace, it happened that Empress Zhang was pregnant, Emperor Hongzhi has always attached great importance to the issue of the imperial heir, knowing that Empress Zhang is pregnant, even if the fetus is only two or three months, she will never have sex with Empress Zhang again, and she doesn't just need someone to accompany her when she is depressed at night?

The robbed woman was crying and fussing at first, but after all, she had never seen the market, and now she has succumbed to Zhang Yanling's grace and power......

Zhang Yanling's robbery of the people's daughters has not been done once or twice, but there has never been a problem, Li Mengyang, the head of the household department, once went to the famous "Ying Zhao Zhi Chen Shu", mentioning Zhang Yanling's crime of kidnapping people's children, but he was safe and sound, but Li Mengyang almost died in prison, also because Li Mengyang is famous, the emperor did not dare to unjustly kill a recognized talent, and the damage to his reputation would be incomparable, coupled with Jinyiwei's intention to maintain, so that Li Mengyang escaped.

Since then, the Zhang brothers have been doing things like embezzling private property and robbing people's daughters, and even if the imperial historian knows about it, he doesn't even dare to let go of a fart.

Zhang Yanling was drinking with her beautiful concubine in the warm room of her home, when she saw the servant hurriedly come in and played: "Master, the eldest master is here." ”

"Brother is here? Ha, you stand down, don't come and disturb without the orders of this lord! ”

Zhang Yanling was a little dissatisfied with Zhang Heling before, but now his brother is helping him run and fight for him to be a marquis, and today Zhang Heling entered the palace is said to be to negotiate with the emperor about this matter, he heard that his brother is coming, he is excited, maybe he is already a marquis at this time, just waiting for the official canonization.

When Zhang Yanling arrived at the front hall and saw his brother with a dark face, he felt that it was not a good thing.

Zhang Yanling saluted: "Brother entered the palace today, but went to see the emperor and sister?" ”

Zhang Heling slapped the table angrily and said, "You said, have you sent some indiscriminate women to the palace recently?" ”

Zhang Yanling was a little surprised, it was still in the New Year at this time, and at the end of the year, the emperor was either sick or busy with official business, in order to hide from Zhu Houzhao's bear child, he didn't even enter the palace gate, where did he have the heart to send a woman to the emperor? He showed a look of wronged expression and said, "Where did my brother listen to the groundless rumors? I haven't been in the palace for more than a month, and last time I went to see my mother with my brother, didn't my brother forget? ”

"If you ask you, just answer yes or no!" Zhang Heling said angrily.

"Nope!" Zhang Yanling replied affirmatively.

I have always wronged others, and I have never heard of anyone daring to wronged me! He continued: "I wanted to send beautiful women to Your Majesty before, but my brother didn't know that His Majesty has been in trouble recently, how could I not know what to do?" Besides, even if my sister never told me about it, I wouldn't dare to do anything against my sister's wishes! ”

On the one hand, he said that he did not dare to act against Empress Zhang's wishes, and on the other hand, he said that he planned to send a woman to his brother-in-law, but he only dispelled his thoughts because the emperor was weak and sick, and his hypocrisy can be seen.

Zhang Heling asked angrily: "Then what did you mean by occupying the people's girls before?" ”

Only then did Zhang Yanling know that his brother turned his face because of the woman he had robbed on the street before. In his opinion, this is not a big deal, he sent someone to investigate, the woman is not the daughter of the eunuch's family or the lady of the main room, but the filling of the house in the household Langzhong, originally an old husband and a young wife, and at that time he did not blatantly say that he robbed it, maybe people thought that people were imprisoned in Shuntian Mansion.

Could it be that this matter was stabbed out by Shuntianfu!?

"Where did Big Brother hear about this?" Zhang Yanling's face turned cold.

Zhang Heling said angrily: "That's it!" Do you know that His Majesty told Brother Wei about this, how unbearable his brother's face is, His Majesty is giving you the title of Marquis, making such a scene, and suddenly feeling shameless. You, you, are clearly treating my Zhang family as unkind and unjust! ”

When these words come out of other people's mouths, Zhang Yanling may be ashamed, but Zhang Heling himself often does things such as seizing private property and forcibly buying and selling, mainly because Zhang Heling doesn't like women and has no intention of forcibly grabbing and occupying people's women, but what face do you have to scold your brother for being unkind and unjust?

"What the elder brother taught me is that the younger brother remembers."

Zhang Yanling made an appearance of being humbly taught, and when he lowered his head, he gritted his teeth and asked, "I don't know which god killed it, and stabbed the matter to my brother-in-law?" ”

Zhang Heling was angry, and explained the situation he knew: "Your Majesty didn't explain, but just passed on your brother to the palace to inquire, pointing out that you were doing something wrong, Your Majesty confessed, and immediately sent the person back to Shuntian Mansion for disposal by Shuntian Mansion...... If there is such a thing in the future, I'm afraid that even Your Majesty will not be able to protect you! ”

Zhang Yanling frowned: "Big brother, I ...... everyone If you touch it and send it back, wouldn't it make a big deal out of it, unless you ......"

Before he could continue, the voice outside the strings sent the woman to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion, and let her go in alive and die, then the matter was unaware.

After all, she is not a yellow flower girl, and she is not pregnant, even if the family goes to the yamen, what justice can they get? In those days, as long as they entered the cell, three or four out of ten women would have to become corpses, and the remaining six or seven would never come out of it unharmed.

Zhang Heling did not refute, glared at his younger brother and said, "It's good to know, this matter is over." Your Majesty made it clear that after more than a month, when things calm down, I will give you the title of Marquis, and you will stay in the mansion with peace of mind these days, and you can't go out for half a step! What's the difference, don't say that you don't help you say good things in front of Your Majesty! ”

Zhang Yanling couldn't help but be annoyed when he heard that the matter of the marquis was going to be delayed again, but he was even more angry that he was "maliciously slandering" his people behind his back, he couldn't understand how the captives were seen by a few flat-headed people at most that day, and those people didn't know his identity, nominally the woman was sent to Shuntian Mansion, who would poke him out?

But the elder brother was angry, so he was inconvenient to ask, and even if he asked, most of the questions were fruitless.

"If you don't go out, you won't go out, it just so happens that I'll play enough at home first, and if I want to hand over people easily, don't even think about it. The woman who entered my Jianchang Bo Mansion, don't think about going out! ”

Zhang Yanling was indignant in his heart, and he also knew that his dream of becoming a marquis would be delayed again. (To be continued.) )
