Hearing that Xiao Ruxun wanted to ask himself for something, Kong Shangxian's heart suddenly burst into his heart, and he didn't know what Xiao Ruxun wanted to say.

"Duke Qin, please speak."

Kong Shangxian was a little nervous.

Xiao Ruxun spoke slowly.

"I would like to ask Yan Sheng Gong to write a letter to Shen Zheng, in the name of the descendants of the Confucian saints, to tell Shen Zhengyi, don't be obsessed, recognize the status quo as soon as possible, don't hurt Your Majesty, and when we wait for the arrival of the army, Kaicheng will surrender and ask for guilt, so Xiao may consider forgiving his family, otherwise, Xiao will not show mercy.

Shen has always been a scholar, if Yan Sheng Gong can write to persuade him, he may be able to make the right choice, I believe that with Yan Sheng Gong's reputation, Shen has always resolutely not dared to risk the world's condemnation, so that His Majesty's safety will be guaranteed. ”

Ye Mengxiong listened to the intention on the sidelines, and hurriedly said: "Yan Shenggong, what Qin Gong said is very reasonable, the name of Yan Shenggong is enough to represent all the scholars in the world, writing to him is equivalent to the whole world to warn him, don't do things that are disappointing the world, otherwise, he Shen Cheng and his family will have no way to live, Shen Cheng can understand what he should do in this matter as long as he is clear-headed." ”

Everyone nodded.

Kong Shangxian pondered for a moment, feeling that this would only be beneficial to the Kong family, so he nodded.

"In this way, Kong is willing to admonish Shen Cheng in the name of Yan Shenggong, so that he will not continue to make mistakes, if he can contribute to the country this time, Kong will be honored."

Kong Shangxian was willing to write a letter to Shen Cheng in the name of Yan Sheng Gong, persuading Shen Cheng not to do anything like jumping off the wall in a hurry, and not to risk the world's condemnation, otherwise, his fate would be miserable, he would be punished, and none of them would survive.

This kind of disguised persuasion book Xiao Ruxun will definitely not work to write, it is estimated that it will be torn apart and burned by Shen Yiyi, but if it is written in the name of Yan Shenggong, it will be different, the meaning is completely different, which means that the will of the people in the world has changed.

He Shen has always been abandoned.

This letter was written by Kong Shangxian almost on the spot and sent it on the spot, the time was only half an hour, Xiao Ruxun sent a fast horse to deliver it, and it was only four days later when it was sent to Jingshi, and Shen always read this letter from Qufu on the afternoon of the ninth day of the twelfth month.

At that time, the entire palace was decorated with lights, and such a letter was sent to a jubilant scene, which really made Shen Yi unhappy.

There is no other reason for the lanterns in the palace, that is, the emperor is getting married.

Zhu Changluo is getting married.

I don't know what Shen Zheng's psychology is, Jiang Dahai's army is eyeing Tianjin, Xiao Ruxun has already marched to Shandong, Shen has always been in the general trend, and he is about to be destroyed, but he is still holding a wedding for the emperor, is it to be happy?

Many people are muttering in their hearts.

But no one dared to object.

The previous miserable fate of the British Duke and the Ten Nobles has proved the fate of the opposition to Shen Consistent, the top two nobles of the Ming Dynasty retired with the country, but they died in the hands of Shen Consistent, thanks to the fact that the Duke of Chengguo has no one to talk to, and now the title of the Duke of Chengguo is still in the hands of the imperial court, so the Duke of Chengguo is fine.

The other two, the Nanjing Xu family has taken refuge in Xiao Ruxun, and the Yunnan Mu family doesn't seem to have any news at present, after Shen has made a move this time, the entire circle of nobles in the capital has been frightened, and they are all afraid, and they are afraid that Shen will always make a move against them, so they don't even go out of the house.

Shen has always been very "intimate" to help them arrange the "personal protection" of Jinyiwei, basically the people who are a little famous in the Xungui circle have been "closely protected" by Jinyiwei, and there are so many important people in the family who have been "invited" to the palace to "drink tea".

Of course, everyone knows what that means.

It's not that the nobles don't want to resist, it's just that they have lost the opportunity and have no real power.

They nominally control the military power of the Beijing battalion, but the actual control of the Beijing battalion has long been in the hands of the military department, and most of them are only paid in name and are allowed to keep private guards, and they need to obey the command of the military department in their actions, and the right to appoint and dismiss lower-level officers is also in the hands of the military department, and the officers and men of the high-level and lower-level officers and men of the Beijing battalion are actually separated.

In the face of Shen's sudden force, they had no energy to resist at all.

So they can only choose to be shrunken turtles.

But today they have to come out, because the emperor is getting married.

Zhu Changluo's wedding was actually quite hasty today, Shen has always decided to let Zhu Changluo get married, and he also searched for candidates for the queen for him with great fanfare.

According to the convention, the choice of the queen of the Ming Dynasty is to choose the woman of a small family, this is Zhu Yuanzhang learned from the experience of Meng Yuan and the Han Dynasty harem relatives to interfere in politics to make a decision, the queen chose a small family background, knowledge and experience are poor, there are too many women from noble backgrounds, it is not easy to interfere in politics, and there is no foreign aid, so if the emperor is young, the queen mother does not have much energy even if she listens to politics.

So in the Ming Dynasty, except for Zhu Yijun's mother, the Empress Dowager Li, who once played some roles in the government, the other empress dowagers did not have the slightest achievement, even if it was the Empress Dowager Li, with the background of a small businessman, she had no desire for power, and she couldn't do anything.

At the moment, he is even more in the inner palace and does not go out, and there is not even any news.

So this is indeed the right and effective policy.

According to the rules, the first step is to "sea selection", when the emperor is ready to get married, the palace first sends many eunuchs to all over the country to select 5,000 girls between the ages of thirteen and sixteen, and then gather together for a primary election.

In the past, the eunuchs were familiar with this kind of thing, but this time the situation is different, they can't even go out of the capital, so they can only choose in the capital.

Tianjin was breached, and the news that Xiao Ruxun's army arrived in Tianjin Wei spread in the capital without knowing what's going on, and people were saying that the situation was going to change, the situation was different, and the people were still confused, but the well-informed merchants and literati officials, officers and generals all knew it.

Most of them are grassroots officers, military generals, scholars, and small merchants, and they are the group targeted by the emperor after selecting concubines.

As soon as everyone summed up, it is estimated that this little emperor will not last long, Shen has always chosen a concubine for the little emperor at this time, purely to pull people into the water, with bad intentions, everyone must not be greedy for a temporary advantage, so as not to be liquidated in the future.

In the past, at this time, the small family was very excited, and whoever had a beautiful daughter had to send it up, thinking about mixing a concubine or something to not mention how happy they were.

If the small family sends their daughter to the palace to be selected, but can get the title in one step, although there is no real power, but the hard life is no longer necessary, even if it is not selected, sent to the palace to be a palace maid in the end, there are people who can manage the food and reduce the burden on the family, which is undoubtedly a major benefit for all eligible small families in the Ming Dynasty.

But in this current situation, when this army is close at hand, you choose a concubine for the emperor, it is purely foolish, your emperor is in danger, who wants to be your in-laws? Isn't this looking for death?

Although the daughter is not so important, in the end, it is the meat that falls from the body, and it is so big that she grows up, who is not distressed!

The small families who meet the regulations cover their daughters to death, even if they have daughters, they hide them and don't say anything, everyone communicates with each other, and everyone knows about it.

Everyone knows where the eunuch is going, whose house is coming, the eunuch quickly hides his daughter, and then prevaricates and says that there is no girl, how can there be no girl? It's all on the list!

Then people either stuff some money or give a few pieces of meat, and divide them by two.

So the eunuchs were persuaded to leave, and when the matter reached Shen Yiyi, Shen Zheng sneered and ordered all the eunuchs to lead the attendants to search for me under the supervision of Jinyiwei, search the girls for me, and then take them away, whoever dares to accept bribes will be killed.

Now these small families have suffered, the place is not big, there is almost no place to hide people, a search was found, a day to arrest more than 100 girls, now other families have learned from experience, long eyes.

Shen has always played so hard, you don't leave any way, you don't talk about any affection, then don't blame us for turning our faces and not recognizing people!
