Chapter 437: Heading South

Chapter 437: This Year, Three Moments (2)

Ting Lan was also very distressed when she saw that her son's body was swollen like this, and said: "Back to the master, I have already seen Lang Zhong once a few days ago, and I took two doses of 'medicine', and I am about to get better when I see it, but today I have a recurrence." It seems that the Lang Zhong found in the courtyard is also a mediocre doctor. ”

Ting Lan said angrily: "Today, I have to find someone to tear down his signboard." ”

Seeing Tinglan say this, Sun Dan was even more annoyed. Naturally, their children are very distressed. Although he is only in his early twenties, according to the actual age of later generations, his mental age is almost thirty years old now, and it is time to have children.

To put it mildly, after crossing over to the Ming Dynasty, he was still a little worried that he would be as infertile as the protagonist in "Looking for Qin". didn't expect that after the two wives rounded up together, they were all hit. Zhiniang gave birth to a daughter, while Tinglan gave birth to a son, and both a son and a daughter are very healthy. Thinking that I am a soul wearer, there should be no problems physically.

Because he is a modern person, Sun Dan thinks that as a boy, he should be released into the wild and let him experience the wind and rain by himself. Girls, on the other hand, should be pampered. The so-called boys should be poor, and girls should be rich. When a boy knows the hardships of life, he will grow up to be a qualified man. And after the girl has extravagance, she will naturally not be coaxed by a flamboyant tongue.

Unconsciously, Sun Dan felt that his mental age suddenly matured at the moment when his children were born.

Sun Dan said with a calm face: "Tinglan, don't be impulsive, I have also seen the recipes in that Langzhong, they are all some 'medicines' that clear heat and remove fire, and the left and right are just mild things such as honeysuckle." As you just said, Xiaojue's illness has been cured a few days ago, but it has recurred today, and it seems that the problem is not in Lang Zhong. I don't think you should go to Lang Zhong's trouble, and you don't need to give him any more 'medicine'. How can such a young child stand up to taking "medicine" bowl by bowl? ”

Tinglan is a person who is anxious, and when she heard Sun Dan say this, she was a little unconvinced. couldn't help but say: "Master, how can I get better if I don't take 'medicine', what responsibility do I have, my own son, don't I know that I feel distressed?" ”

Hearing Tinglan's voice was a little loud, and Sun Dan's face was not good-looking, Zhi Niang hurriedly hugged her daughter from Sun Dan's arms, and said softly: "Luoyi, are you going to the yard with your brother to play?" ”

"Okay." Roy's "milk" voice answered angrily, took his brother's hand and walked out of the house with a maid. As soon as she walked to the door, she suddenly turned her head: "Daddy, you are not allowed to quarrel with your aunt." ”

Sun Dan nodded: "Pay attention when playing with your brother in the yard, there is a pond in the yard, be careful of falling into the water." ”

Sun Luoyi's eyes rolled: "Daddy, what's careful." What if the heart falls overboard? ”

When Sun Dan heard her daughter say this, she couldn't help laughing: "Haha, your heart is overboard, are you deliberately raising the bar with me?" ”

The maids in the house also covered their mouths and snickered.

When Luo Yi led his younger brother with a wooden expression to go out, Sun Dan's eyes were withdrawn from his daughter, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth: "This Nizi, this Nizi, it's really tricky and weird!" ”

Zhi Niang smiled and said: "It's not your 'sex' son, the so-called father must have his daughter." ”

Sun Dan laughed: "I wasn't so elf when I was a child. ”

From beginning to end, Sun Dan never said a word to his son. Ting Lan felt jealous in her heart, she thought that after she gave birth to a son, her status in Sun Dan's mind would be very different. didn't expect this Sun Dan to be very weird, he actually regarded his daughter as a treasure and opposed his son's lukewarmness.

Speaking of which, my son doesn't know what's going on, he seems to be a little stupid, and he doesn't talk to anyone on weekdays, and he always likes to play in the yard alone.

Zhi Niang said softly to Sun Dan: "Who doesn't get sick when people are young, you don't have to worry about it, master." ”

"I'm worried about something, I didn't get any illness when I was a child. However, this child is sick, so he can't take "medicine" indiscriminately, and he has to find the root cause. Sun Dan asked Tinglan: "Let me ask you, are the doors and windows in your yard closed?" ”

Tinglan replied: "Yes, Xiaojue has not been in good health recently, and I am afraid that he will be cold, so I will let him stay in the house all day." ”

"That's it, this house has just been built, and the house smells of paint, and you lock him in the house, and he won't be poisoned?" Sun Dan was even more annoyed: "After you go back, open the doors and windows, but let the wind blow." Boys, you have to look like a man, a little wind to be afraid of something. If you don't experience wind and rain, how can you see a rainbow. ”

"Yes." When Tinglan heard Sun Dan say this, she realized that she had made a big mistake. I didn't think that I was arrogant to my son, and I was afraid that he would be blown by the wind, so he would be locked in the house all day long, which hurt him: "However, Xiaojue has so many red spots on his body, or let Lang Zhong come to take a look, it's really not good, go and ask Wang Xian to come over?" ”

Sun Dan: "No, Wang Daoren has been waiting at His Majesty's place recently, and he can't get out." Besides, if you have a little illness, you will invite him over, and you are not afraid of people's jokes. ”

"But...... Doesn't it matter? When Tinglan thought of her son's red spots all over her body, her heart was anxious, and her eyes were red.

Zhi Niang was soft-hearted, and when she saw that Tinglan was sad, she hurriedly took her hand and looked at Sun Dan: "Master, if you are sick, you have to be cured." "Speaking of which, since Tinglan gave birth to Xiaojue, according to the rules of the Huichang Marquis Mansion, the remaining children of the concubine must be held for her to raise. In terms of personal feelings, Xiaojue and Zhiniang are much closer.

Seeing Xiaojue's body become like this, Zhi Niang was also very distressed.

Sun Dan: "No matter what, my son is mine." Actually, you really don't need to take "medicine". He has poison in his body, and the most important thing now is to detoxify. In this way, you didn't go to find some cow's 'milk' to feed him, and you drank half a catty a day, and within three days you would be completely well. "In fact, drinking cow's milk for detoxification is also one of the most commonly used methods in modern medicine.

"Really." The two ladies asked at the same time.

Sun Dan nodded: "That's it." ”

"Okay, then I'll go and ask the two 'milk' mothers to come back." Tinglan hurriedly replied.

Sun Dan chatted with the two ladies for a few words, and suddenly said, "In the next few days, I may have to go on a long trip. ”

Zhi Niang hurriedly asked, "Where is the master going?" ”

Sun smiled lightly: "I may have to go to Huai'an, come and go, why does it take two months." ”

Zhi Niang asked again: "What is the master doing so far?" ”

Sun Dan said: "I am now the editor of the Hanlin Academy, and according to the rules of the imperial court, I will be sent to the local school to learn the Tao and preside over the government examination." This year is the third year of Jiajing, and it happens to be the period of the big exam, and the imperial court sent me to Huai'an Mansion as the chief examiner. ”

"Oh, I see." The two ladies are very happy, this is a serious matter, besides, Sun Dan went to be the main examiner and became someone else's teacher, which is also a very glorious thing: "Then, let's go and pack up for the master." ”

Sun Dan nodded slightly, to be honest, since he traveled to the Ming Dynasty, he has been active in Shandong and Beijing, and he has longed for Jiangnan for a long time. Now that I finally have the opportunity to travel to the south at public expense, it is something worth looking forward to.

As he was talking, he suddenly heard Sun Luoyi in the courtyard shouting in surprise: "Uncle Feng Zhen, Uncle Feng Zhen, father, mother, Uncle Feng is here." ”

"Ouch, my little darling!" Feng Zhen's hearty voice sounded: "Luo Yi, Brother Jue, come and let your uncle hug you." ”

As soon as the words fell, Feng Zhen had already carried the two children into the house.

saw that he was wearing a six-grade military attache uniform, and his face was happy.

He originally went out from the Sun Mansion, and when he came to Sun Dan, he didn't need to be informed, so he walked in.

After entering the house, Feng Zhen put the two children on the ground and respectfully saluted: "Feng Zhen has seen the master and the lady." ”

Sun Dan smiled: "Get up, Feng Zhen, you are also a sixth-grade military attache now, higher than my grade, it stands to reason that I should salute you." ”

Feng Zhen was a little embarrassed; "Master, Feng Zhen has today's wealth, and it is not all rewarded by the master. When you say that, aren't you burying the villain. I'm going to die headfirst here. ”

As he spoke, he made a gesture to hit the wall: "Two ladies, you let go, and the villain will find a stronger wall." Otherwise, the villain's head will be as hard as steel, and if he knocks down your house, even if he kills me a thousand times, he will not forgive my sins. ”

Hearing him say something funny, Zhiniang and Tinglan couldn't help but laugh. Even Sun Dan shook his head with a smile: "Forget it, Feng Zhen, you don't want to mess around with me, why do you want to go back to the capital?" ”

Feng Zhen hurriedly said: "The villain has stayed in Jiangnan for the past two years, and he has been thinking about the master and the master mother all the time. Originally, I should have gone back to my home to pay New Year's greetings during the Chinese New Year, but unfortunately I was busy with military affairs and never made the trip. In fact, the villain also prepared a lot of New Year's goods at that time, but he never had a chance to send them to the house. No, now the villain happened to return to the capital to report on his work, so he brought it over. Fortunately, it's not too hot now, and nothing is broken. ”

Ting Lan interjected and said with a smile: "Feng Zhen, who is rare of your zongzi, salted duck eggs, ham or something in the south of the Yangtze River, my house still lacks your little thing." We're glad you can go home and take a walk. ”

Feng Zhen said: "Mrs. Ru's lesson is that no matter where the villain goes, remember that this is the villain's home!" If I don't even know this, am I still a human being? Mrs. really said it, the villain returned home this time, and really brought a lot of Gaoyou's duck eggs, Jinhua's ham and Huzhou's zongzi. ”

"Haha." Sun Dan and Zhi Niang both laughed.

Ting Lan also smiled and said, "Feng Zhen, don't say it, the master is going to Huai'an in a few days, that is your territory, I will hand over the master to you." If he has a good deal, I won't follow him. ”

Feng Zhen's expression changed, and he suddenly asked, "Master, are you going to Huai'an?" ”

Tinglan replied: "Go to be a scholar and preside over Huai'an's government examination this year, which is a matter of the past few days." ”

Feng Zhen: "That's not a coincidence, the villain may have to stay in the capital for ten days and a half months, and he will not be able to go back until a certain period of time." He hesitated a little: "Master Mingli is going to support the government test, but in fact, he ...... You're there for that......"

Sun Dan's face was full, but he didn't speak.

Tinglan was interested, and hurriedly said to Zhiniang: "Madam, why don't we go to the courtyard and don't disturb the old man to get down to business." ”

Zhiniang nodded and went out with the two children.

When the room was quiet, Sun Dan nodded to Feng Zhen: "This means, recently there was an imperial envoy to impeach Nanhe River to the governor of the river and the king of Caoyun to be greedy for ink, so that his hands were full of money in the Suining River embankment project, and Your Majesty asked me to go over and find out." ”

Feng Zhen: "I've heard about this in Dahewei, but the army doesn't care about local matters. Besides, I don't have any evidence, so I don't dare to say it randomly. "Feng Zhen worked as a guard and housekeeper for Sun Dan for several years, and two years ago, he was promoted by Sun Dan and went to a thousand households in Dahewei to be an officer of a thousand households. And this Dahewei is located on the edge of Huai'an City, and he is also quite familiar with the situation in Huai'an Mansion.

Sun Dan: "Now, there is evidence. ”

Feng Zhen was taken aback: "This Lord Wang Shu probably doesn't know very well, although this person's grade is not high, but on the Grand Canal, he is a figure with hands and eyes. Now there is Huang Jin, who is attached to Huang Jin, and he is very strong in the river and the Caoyun Yamen. It is said that this person's family has a huge amount of money, and the cost of each meal is at least twenty or thirty taels of silver. Judging from the villain, this person is richer than Lao Xi'er. However, it is also strange to say that Hegong and Caoyun Yamen are Wang Shu's Yiyantang, he has been an official for so many years, and he has made a yamen like an iron bucket, and who can catch him. ”

Sun smiled lightly and said nothing, in fact, the river and Cao Yun were Huang Jin's money bags. Gonggong Huang and Concubine Zhang Guifei don't get money on that river every year. The reason why Sun Dan recommended Xia Yan to go to Nanhe River to serve as the prime minister of the river was because he wanted to rub sand in it. Although Xia Yan is not his Sun Dan's person, he is outrageously upright. had him block Huang Jin, and also made Sun Dan work a lot less.

As for the envoy who impeached Wang Shu, it was not arranged by Sun Dan. This is a long story, some time ago, Chen Hong secretly met with Sun Dan, saying that Wang Shu seemed to be greedy for a lot of silver in the Suining River embankment project, so much so that the thirty-mile river embankment was turned into tofu slag, and asked Sun Dan if he wanted to do these two people and break one of Huang Jin's arms.

Sun Dan was a little moved in his heart, but at present, the evidence is still insufficient, so he rashly attacked them, and he may not be able to complete the battle.

After thinking about it, he replied that he should not move for the time being, he would go to Huai'an first to see if he could get some more evidence.

But Sun Dan never expected that this Chen Hong couldn't hold back the "milk" and "exposed" this matter, and the group of people in the Inspectorate knew about it.

And the officials of the Inspectorate also have a tradition of rumors, and immediately there were imperial envoys who folded bullets to impeach Wang Shu and the eunuch Gan Bida who sat in the hall in Nanhe.

In this way, it alarmed Huang Jin's gang.

This is also a thing that makes Sun Dan very helpless, this time to Huai'an, it is estimated that Wang Shu and Gan Bi will have a lot of precautions, and it is not easy to catch their handles again.

Sun Dan sighed in his heart: After all, this Chen Hong is younger, but he can't hold his breath when he encounters a big event.

Sun Dan didn't say anything, and Feng Zhen couldn't ask any more: "The master is going to Huai'an soon, and I don't know who to bring with me?" ”

Sun Dan: "I don't want to bring too many people with me this time, so let Han Yue go with me." Why, what are you worried about? ”

Feng Zhen: "Wang Shu is okay, the master has to be careful of that Ganbida, this person is ruthless and gloomy, and he dares to do anything." In Huai'an over the years, he has not been stained with human blood. But because he is an official, he is also secretive, and others can't do anything about him. ”

Sun smiled lightly: "Could it be that he still dares to be disrespectful to Lord Ben?" ”

Feng Zhen: "It's hard to say, the dragons and snakes on the Grand Canal are mixed, and the situation is also complicated. However, if there is Lao Han here, adults don't have to worry. Lao Han has made great progress in martial arts in the past two years, and he has become a first-class master. Indeed, Han Yue's life has been stable and calm in the past two years, and she only knows how to boil her muscles and bones all day long, and her knife skills are even more advanced. Now there is a vague atmosphere of a generation of sword sects, and a martial art has "approached" Feng Zhen. Only slightly lost to Huang Jin, Bi Yun, and Feng Zhen. Of course, there is still a long way to go compared to Zhu Huan's perversion. In the past, Zhu Huan was invincible to a lonely existence. Fortunately, Lao Zhu has been dead for almost three years, and it is estimated that the bones are rotten now.

Feng Zhen stomped his feet again: "No, the villain has to hurry up and hand over the order to the military department and the Marquis of Wuding, so that he can go back to Huai'an as soon as possible, if the master can use the army at hand, just say it." "Sun Dan's so-called emperor's envoy to Huai Darkness this time has a full set of royal flags in his hands and the power to mobilize local troops.

Sun Dan moved: "That's fine, you hurry up." ”

As he was talking, a family member came to report: "Master, Han Yue asks to see you." ”

Sun Dan: "Say Cao '', Cao '' will arrive, let him in." ”

Han Yue was very surprised to see Feng Zhen here: "Old Feng, why did you go back to Beijing?" You have been born in the past two years, but you envy us to death. ”

Feng Zhen said with a smile: "It's not for the master's support, Feng Zhen has such a mustard-like future." In fact, our military attachΓ© has a humble status, even if he sees a seven-grade county lord, this head is low. Hello Lao Han, if you have the support of the old man in the future, you don't have to be an angry military attachΓ©. ”

Han Yue smiled; "What's the point of being an official, or the squire is at ease by the master's side."

"Come on, Dongchang Bi's father-in-law admires your old Han very much, and said that as long as you go, you will be of great use immediately. Hehe, Lao Han, you might as well cut it. ”

Sun smiled and said, "Okay, don't make trouble." Han Yue, you go down and pack up, and go to Huai'an with me. ”

"Yes." Han Yue responded, but suddenly said, "Master, it's not the right time for you to go to Huai'an now." ”

Sun Dan was a little surprised: "What's wrong?" ”

Han Yue said in a low voice: "Back to the master, Concubine Zhang was born?" ”

Sun Dan's face remained unchanged, but Feng Zhen trembled: "When was it born, is it a male or a female?" ”

Han Yue also had an iron face: "Just an hour ago, he was a prince." "Han Yue is from Jinyiwei, and he is quite good at spying on news, and he has always been in one-line contact with Chen Hong. Therefore, Zhang Guifei's birth of a child was also the first time he learned about it.

Feng Zhen muttered: "It's troublesome, the prince born to Empress Chen's mother has not been canonized as the crown prince, and now Concubine Zhang has given birth to another prince, this time it's troublesome." This crown prince is up for grabs! I just don't know how many people will fall into it in the future? ”

Sun Dan snorted: "What's the hurry, it's going to rain, and my mother wants to marry and go with him." ”

Having said that, Sun Dan's heart was full of coldness. In the past three years, the situation in the DPRK has changed again. First of all, Emperor Jiajing's authority is getting heavier, and the throne is much more stable than two years ago, and he is no longer the child who was "forced" to tears by the officials. Secondly, Yang Ting and them are also getting old. "Mao" Ji stopped doing things early, and Jiang Mian's health is not getting worse day by day, and it is estimated that he will retire in the next two years. As for Yang Tinghe, it seems that he also has the idea of taking a back seat. As for the six books, they are all dying.

In the foreseeable future, there will inevitably be a major change of blood in the imperial court.

For now, Yang Yiqing has entered the cabinet. And Zhai Luan has also been walking in the cabinet for a long time, and he will definitely enter the cabinet in the future.

The great etiquette made all the officials huddle together against the emperor, and no one has mentioned this matter in recent years. But as long as Zhang Guifei's child is born, the matter of who will be the crown prince will inevitably lead to another incident. The ministers of the DPRK and China will inevitably be divided into two factions, and the civilian clique will inevitably be divided.

Don't......

Sun Dan was suddenly shocked in his heart, could it be that the emperor was waiting for the emperor to appoint the crown prince for a long time, and what he was waiting for was the split of the civil and official group?

As long as the energy of the civil official group is restrained by the matter of the prince, then the emperor can use his strength to reconsider the imperial examination ceremony.

For the emperor, the more "chaotic" the court situation, the better.

If that's the case, this Jiajing is really a character!

I really underestimated him before.

"Hopefully this is just my guess." Sun Dan muttered, lost in thought.

Feng Zhen and Han Yue looked at each other, and after a long time, Sun Dan said: "Regardless of these, I'll go to Huai'an first." ”

"Yes, the villain will go down and prepare." Feng Zhen and Han Yue responded at the same time.

Everyone in Sun Dan's mansion went to pack up for Sun Dan.

At the same time, in the palace, Empress Chen angrily threw the cup to the ground: "Damn, hate, hate!" ”

A group of eunuchs and palace maids were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they said in unison: "Take care of your mother, take care of your mother, it's not good to be angry." ”

"Take care of what, this palace is angry. I know that many of you have seen that Your Majesty has not made a prince for the past two years, and their hearts are full of life, and they want to change their courts. Are you willing to "force" my mother to death? Empress Chen roared loudly.

That's right, Empress Chen already knew about Concubine Zhang Guifei giving birth to a prince, and she hated it so much that her teeth were about to crush.

"Take care!" The eunuchs and court ladies all knelt down.

"Get out, get out of here!" Empress Chen shouted hoarsely.

The crowd ran out on the ground.

"Mother, mother, what's wrong with you?" A chubby two- or three-year-old child walked in in a big red outfit and asked angrily.

"My son, my son!" As soon as she saw this little child, Queen Chen couldn't help but feel sad, hugged him, and tears couldn't stop falling: "Zai Yan, Zai Yan, our mother and mother are about to be 'forced' to live anymore!" ”

This two- or three-year-old child is none other than Empress Chen's son, Zhu Zaiyan. This name was chosen by Sun Dan for him. Jiajing's sons and nephews all use soil characters to make sides. The word 堍 refers to the place where the two ends of the bridge are close to the flat ground, which means peace and auspiciousness.

Seeing his mother crying, the chubby child clapped his hands and laughed: "Crying, crying." ”

Queen Chen felt helpless for a while, her precious son seemed to be stupid on weekdays, and sometimes, she wondered if her son was a fool.

It's strange to say, Zhu Zaiyan is not smart enough, and Sun Dan's son Sun Xiaojue is also stupid. Speaking of which, she Queen Chen is such a shrewd person, and Sun Dan is a famous talent in the world. Why didn't the sons born of the two families get a little good inheritance?

When Empress Chen saw her son giggling, she gritted her teeth and wiped away the tears on her face, and said in her heart: My son can't succeed, his "sexual" personality is only afraid that he will suffer a big loss in this palace full of intrigues, but I, a mother, can't be weak, and can't let others see me crying.

Her heart suddenly moved: Although her son is stupid, it is strange to say that Sun Dan's daughter can speak at half the age and walk at the age of one. Although he is only a little more than two years old now, he can recite one or two hundred poems of Tang and Song Ci in one breath, and he can also know more than 2,000 words. Got rid of another Sun Jingyuan. Maybe God took pity on my son and gave him such a shrewd daughter.

Speaking of which, Sun Dan and her Queen Chen are also sons and daughters. Sun Dan's daughter was promised to Zhu Zaiyan early, and she only got married as soon as she was old.

Now, Zhang Guifei gave birth to a prince, doesn't he Sun Dan want his daughter to be the queen, doesn't he Sun Dan plan for his daughter's future?

As soon as she thought of Sun Dan, Empress Chen's heart calmed down, "Someone." ”

The palace maid came over: "Niangniang." ”

Empress Chen pondered for a moment: "This palace has not been in good health in the past few days, you go to the Sun Mansion and ask Mrs. Sun to come and accompany me for two days." ”

The palace maid said, "Yes." ”

Empress Chen grabbed her: "By the way, invite Mrs. Tinglan together." "Zhi Niang is an honest person, and she can't understand some things, but that Tinglan is a very powerful character, and she should know what she wants to say and what she wants to hear.

Feng Zhen and Han Yue had just left, and then called someone from the palace, saying that they were going to take Mrs. Sun into the palace, and specially said that they would ask Tinglan to go with them.

Nowadays, Sun Dan is in a high position, Zhi Niang is also a lady of the command, and the relationship with the emperor is a family of children and daughters, and she often goes to the palace to talk to Empress Chen every day.

At this critical juncture, Empress Chen sent someone to pick up the mothers, and her intention was self-evident. Moreover, she also deliberately pointed out to let Tinglan go over together, well, Queen Chen was also in a hurry.

After a moment of silence, Sun Dan asked Ting Lan to come over, told her about the matter, and said, "Ting Lan, when you see the queen mother, you let her rest assured." ”

Tinglan understood in her heart and nodded.

"And." Sun Dan said: "When you saw the queen's mother, you said, this splendid article has to start from the south." ”

After Zhang Guifei gave birth to a prince, she must have wanted her son to be the prince. If it had been two years ago, with the strength of the ministers, she would not have dared to do so. But now that the court is at the time of the replacement of the old and the new, the newcomers are all sharpened and want to take the position, and it is inevitable that she will not have the mind to take refuge. If you want to make a deposit, you have to scatter a lot of silver. If he goes to Huainan this time to overthrow Wang Shu and cut off Huang and Zhang's financial resources, the matter will already be half done.
