Now that the city of Hangzhou has been captured by the Ming army, there are many things that need to be done by Yu Shilong, the governor, but he prefers to take the time to personally inquire about the Manchu surrender, and it is Yu Shilong who is ready to choose his henchmen among these people. I didn't expect to meet my own year today, which made Yu Shilong very happy.

"Brother Fu Ding, in this way, now that my brother is really short of manpower, can you see if you can write a letter to the same year that you know, and let them go out to help me?"

Liu Zhengheng nodded hurriedly when he heard Yu Shilong say this: "Lord Yu, don't worry, I will write a letter when I go back, but I know less than ten people now, I don't know if I can satisfy Lord Yu!" ”

"A few count, you know, now Emperor Shenwu is very short of civil officials in the court, most of the official positions in the central government are vacant, we are the same year, there are benefits to naturally think about your own people, you are right!"

Liu Zhengheng laughed dryly, but he was also relieved when he heard Yu Shilong say this, so he didn't have to go to Luzon.

"It's up to my little brother to write a letter, but... What does Liu Zhengheng mean for me? Don't send me to Luzon again!

Yu Shilong laughed when he heard this: "Brother Fu Ding, don't worry, you are my person, can't I protect you?" Be your prefect! ”

got Yu Shilong's assurance that Liu Zhengheng put down his heart, but after his own affairs were over, he began to be interested in the mysterious Shenwu Emperor again.

"Lord Yu, Xia Guan has something to ask!"

"What are you and me talking about, I have something to say!"

"Yes! Be! May I ask my lord, what kind of person is our Shenwu Emperor? Xiaguan also heard some news of Emperor Shenwu in Zhejiang, and the news was very bizarre. ”

Hearing Liu Zhengheng say this, Yu Shilong asked: "Brother Fu Ding, tell me what you heard in Zhejiang?" ”

"Lord Yu, Xia Guan just heard that it was all rumors. Zhejiang here all say that Emperor Shenwu's identity is fake, and it is also said that Emperor Shenwu loves his wife the most, what little widows, mothers and daughters, and sisters have as many flowers! ”

Yu Shilong waved his hand to let the officials recorded in the room go out, and said with a smile: "Brother Fu Ding, only one of these rumors is false, that is, the identity of Emperor Shenwu, Emperor Shenwu is indeed a line of Chu Domain, but how many generations have passed, Emperor Shenwu came from the first generation of Chu King Zhu Zhen's tenth son, Jiangxia Kangjing King Zhu Mengju, and it is nothing to spread to Emperor Shenwu." As for the rest, what you hear is only scratching the surface, and this emperor can be said to be a combination of greed for money, lust, cruelty, murder, shamelessness, and treachery! ”

Liu Zhengheng heard Yu Shilong scolding Zhu Hongsan here, and gasped in fright, such an emperor still has it, isn't this a gentleman?

"Lord Yu, why do you still follow Emperor Shenwu like this?"

"Brother Fu Ding, although Emperor Shenwu is not in a thousand ways, he appoints people on the basis of merit and has clear rewards and punishments. That's what he's good at! Just like this official, I used to be a little confidant in Guangzhou Mansion, and Emperor Shenwu actually handed over the important task of Guangzhou Nancheng Development Zone to me, and millions of taels of silver were decided by me. Brother Fu Ding, how can you say that such an emperor will not let me die for it? ”

Listening to Yu Shilong's words, Liu Zhengheng understood, it turned out that this Shenwu Emperor was a figure similar to Liu Bang, and it seemed that he had taken the right step.

With Yu Shilong's guarantee, and Liu Zhengheng really didn't do anything lacking in morality, so his Hangzhou prefect still stayed in his original post, and he didn't even give him a suspended title. Out of the door of the governor's yamen, Liu Zhengheng sat on the sedan chair and pondered, just now Yu Shilong meant that he didn't understand, and he could also be Yu Shilong's helper, but Liu Zhengheng was unwilling!

I think that Liu Zhengheng was in the top 34 in the second grade, and in the fourth year of Chongzhen, Xin Weike was also in the front, what was Yu Shilong back then, more than 200 in the top three, a fellow Jinshi was born, and he was only worthy of washing the feet of the concubine! The more Liu Zhengheng thought about it, the more angry he became, but there was no way, who asked Yu Shilong to hug Emperor Shenwu's thigh.

Thinking of this, Liu Zhengheng's heart moved, he Yu Shilong could hug Emperor Shenwu's thigh, but couldn't he himself? Liu Zhengheng thought about what he was better than Yu Shilong, and after thinking about it for a long time, he found that it was not the same. Thinking of this, Liu Zhengheng suddenly remembered that Emperor Shenwu was lustful, in fact, in ancient times, lust was not a big problem, and Zhu Hongsan's lust was also what the Yongli Emperor of Guangxi wanted to bury him. However, Zhu Hongsan's liking of wives and bad names is indeed a bit dirty, if it is put on an official, it is fatal, but it is useless to put it on an emperor.

Liu Zhengheng thought that Emperor Shenwu liked the little widow, and his heart moved, there was a little widow in his family, and this woman was Liu Zhengheng's daughter-in-law Wang. Liu Zhengheng has two sons and a daughter, and the eldest son is twenty-three years old, and he is also a young talent here in Hangzhou. Therefore, in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Liu Zhengheng was in charge and married the daughter of a friend of Liu Zhengheng in the same year. But I didn't expect that in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Liu Zhengheng's eldest son was about to enter Beijing to take the Jinshi examination, and met a rogue at the border of Shandong, and all three masters and servants were killed, and the Wang family became a widow.

After the accident, Wang's father wanted to take his daughter back to remarry, but Wang and her husband had a deep relationship, willing to be widowed, and this matter was also greatly appreciated by the governor that year, and he also registered in the Ministry of Rites, and waited for 20 years to set up a chastity archway. At that time, Liu Zhengheng was also very happy, after all, his family had a festival woman, which was also beneficial to his career. But now that the environment has changed, if you don't make some special means, you can't climb up at all, and you can't do so much.

When Liu Zhengheng returned home, he saw that his wife had not slept and was also worried about his safety. Liu Zhengheng's wife was born in Shandong Cui's family, this is amazing, Cui's family has been a Shandong Dashi clan since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, although it declined after the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it is also a first-class family in Shandong, and the Cui family was also a beautiful lady in Qinghe, and Master Cui completely saw Liu Zhengheng's young talent before marrying his daughter to him.

Cui's knowledgeable and knowledgeable knew that today was a critical moment in her husband's life and death, and when she saw her husband coming back, she hurriedly came over to ask about the situation.

"Sir, how's it going? What did the new governor say? ”

Liu Zhengheng sighed and said: "It's nothing, the original post is retained, or the prefect of Hangzhou!" ”

As soon as Liu Zhengheng's words came out, Cui's breathed a sigh of relief, and his family was finally fine. Cui Shi just heard from his family that after the Ming army entered the city in the afternoon, they dragged the entire family of 18 men from the Manchu Dynasty and Zhejiang to the cross street and beheaded all of them, and the five or six-year-old children were not spared. There is also the female relatives of the political envoy who sold the teaching workshop as a prostitute, and the wife of the Cui family and the political envoy were best friends. At that time, he still complained that he did not want to make progress and did not serve the Manchu governor, but now it seems that his husband still has a vision, if his husband was as welcoming to the Manchurians as the political envoy, now he is unlucky.

Cui Shi is glad that he escaped, but he is not very happy when he sees his husband, as if he has something on his mind.

"Master, aren't you happy that our family has nothing to do?"

"Oh, of course I'm happy, but I'm really unwilling!"

"Master, what are you unwilling to do?"

Liu Zhengheng sighed and told his wife what he saw and heard when he went to the governor's yamen.

"Madam, you don't know, that Yu Shilong was only from the top three back then, if he hadn't been lucky enough to meet Emperor Shenwu, he would have been a political envoy at most with his qualifications. But it's different for a husband, he was known for his talent back then, and his grades were above him, if I met Emperor Shenwu back then, I must have been a scholar now, and it is possible to enter the cabinet if I don't get it! ”

"Master, is it the one that Lord Yu likes?"

"We don't care about this, ma'am, I have a good idea to marry the emperor, but I need your help!"

It's not good for her husband to be an official, and when Cui Shi heard it, he quickly said: "Master, if there is anything else that needs the help of my wife's family, sir, you can say it!" ”

Liu Zhengheng opened his mouth for a long time and didn't speak, this matter is really embarrassing, it's really hard to say.

Cui Shi looked at her husband Si Ai Ai and asked anxiously: "Master, what are you talking about?" ”

Liu Zhengheng gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I heard that Emperor Shenwu is very lustful, and he likes widows the most, and our daughter-in-law Wang has been widowed for many years, so it's better to... ”

Before Liu Zhengheng finished speaking, Cui Shi stood up and scolded: "Liu Zhengheng, you want to be an official and want to be blind, you can also think of this kind of pickled thing!" ”

"Madam, I really can't help it, I'm forty-five years old this year, and I'm still a four-rank prefect, look at that Yu Shilong, he is already a governor, I don't want to order other tricks, I really don't have a chance, don't you want to be Mrs. Order?"

She has heard adults talk about the glory of the Cui family since she was a child, and Cui herself made up her mind when she was a child that she must find a promising husband in the future and earn a life for herself. But her husband's idea was too dirty, and he couldn't open his mouth.

Cui Shi stood in the middle of the ground, his face was several times, and finally the temptation of Mrs. Commandment took over, Cui Shi gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I'll help you go and talk to the Wang family! ”

Liu Zhengheng was happy when he heard Cui's promise, and quickly stood up to go with Cui's to see Wang.

"Master, my daughter-in-law is celebrating the festival, what are you going to do?"

Liu Zhengheng shouldn't have gone because of etiquette, but he was anxious to hear the news, and whispered: "Madam, if I don't enter the house, I will listen outside the door, and I can only feel at ease if I hear her personally promise me!" ”

Cui's had no choice, so he and Liu Zhengheng came to the back house across the courtyard, in front of Wang's embroidery building. Cui Shi motioned to Liu Zhengheng with his eyes not to go in, stand outside the door, and knock on the door himself.

Now it was just night, the embroidery building was still lit, and Wang had not slept, when he heard someone knocking on the door and asked, "Who!" ”
