Yan Song said to Chen Di again: "That Tang Shunzhi, the envoy of Zhejiang and the political envoy of the cloth, Yu Dayou, the commander of the Flying Tiger Army, Qi Jiguang, the commander of the affairs, as well as Hu Zongxian, the prefect of Hangzhou, and Hai Rui, the prefect of Taizhou, are all your people, right?" ”

Chen Di nodded and said, "My father-in-law's words are not right!" These people are indeed my people. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info My people, after all, are they not your father-in-law? ”

Yan Song laughed and said, "Good son, you have recruited so many talents for your father and me in Zhejiang." ”

Chen Di snickered in his heart, in another history, Hai Rui disgusted Yan Song for more than ten years. How could that Hai Rui Hai Gangfeng have imagined that now he would be regarded as a party by Yan Song?

Yan Song suddenly changed his words: "The emperor wants to recruit you as a concubine, and he also decreed that you and Princess Xiaoyan will be married on the third day of the next lunar month!" That's a great thing! You have made such a great contribution, and you have become the emperor's fast son-in-law, and your future future is limitless! ”

Chen Di said: "The emperor's grace is vast, my son and I will naturally work hard, report to the emperor's grace, and repay your father-in-law for your kindness." ”

Yan Song waved his hand: "Don't talk about this yet." Let me ask you, do you have a side room called Xiaoqing? ”

Chen Di nodded and said, "Yes." At the beginning, I accepted Xiaoqing as a side room, and it was still a matchmaker made by my brother-in-law. ”

Yan Song said: "Hurry up and leave her!" The Ming Dynasty opened the country, and no colt has a side room! ”

Chen Dixin said, why does everyone let me be Chen Shimei?

Chen Di stopped talking. Yan Song saw that Chen Di seemed to be a little reluctant to Xiaoqing, so he said: "Son, I want to persuade you!" When a husband rules the world, how can he ruin a woman's good future! If you don't want to rest Xiaoqing, you don't want to marry Princess Xiaoyan! If you don't want to marry Princess Xiaoyan, you are resisting! If you resist the decree as soon as you make a great achievement, you are proud of your achievements and despise the emperor! Can you afford such a sin? ”

Chen Di arched his hand; "Father-in-law。。。。。。 I...... ”

Yan Song waved his hand: "If you want a woman, you still have a good future, you can go back and think about it yourself!" ”

Chen Di walked out of the Yan Mansion and thought to himself, my surname is Chen, but I will never change my name to Chen Shimei!

Chen Shimei? Chen Shimei? There's a way!

As soon as he returned to the Earl's Palace, Chen Di went into the study.

The next day, he asked the old housekeeper Yan to find the most famous Kunqu opera troupe in the capital.

Kunqu opera flourished in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, and now it can be said to be popular in the capital. From Emperor Jiajing to the common people, they all love it.

The Kunban in the capital is also most famous for the "Wu Family Class", "Sun Family Class" and "Qian Family Class". These three groups are known as the three major classes of Kunqu Opera in Beijing.

Old Butler Yan is looking for the "Wu Family Class". As soon as Wu Meng, the head of the Wu family's class, heard that Uncle Zhenhai wanted to listen to them sing, he hurriedly led the team to the Earl's Palace.

After Wu Meng saw Chen Di, he asked, "I don't know which play Zhen Haibo wants to hear?" ”

Chen Di handed a stack of papers to Wu Meng: "Master Wu, you misunderstood, I didn't invite you to come to listen to you sing!" I want you to rehearse the play of this book, and then for the emperor's royal reward! ”

Wu Meng was surprised: "Zhen Haibo can actually write a Kunqu opera book? ”

Chen Di smiled: "It's just clumsy, and I also ask Master Wu not to laugh." ”

Wu Meng looked at the stack of papers carefully, and then arched his hand and said, "Zhen Haibo is really a genius!" was able to write such a wonderful play. ”

Chen Di's script to Wu Meng is the later "The Case of Quanmei". It is written that after Chen Shimei won the top prize in high school, she abandoned her wife, married the princess, and was finally beaten by Bao Gong.

Wu Meng didn't dare to slack off, and led the Wu family class to practice day and night. Three days later, Wu Meng felt that the heat was almost over, so he came to Chen Di: "Zhen Haibo, the script you appreciated, our Wu family class has almost rehearsed!" ”

Chen Di nodded and took out a silver ticket of one thousand taels: "This is your reward." I will immediately invite the emperor to watch your play, you must sing well! ”

Singing for the emperor, how much honor is it for a Kunqu opera troupe? Wu Meng bowed his head and knelt: "Zhen Haibo is so elevating the Wu family class, the Wu family class will definitely do his best to perform the show well!" ”

In the Yongshou Palace, Lu Fang was beating Emperor Jiajing's legs.

Emperor Jiajing asked Lu Fang, "Lu Fang, I heard that Chen Di has a side room?" ”

Lu Fang replied: "It seems to be a side room. ”

Emperor Jiajing said again: "I also heard that Chen Di hasn't taken that side room off until now?" ”

Lu Fang defended Chen Di: "This may be Chen Di's negligence. ”

Emperor Jiajing sneered: "Negligence? Hum! Don't think I don't know anything! It's clear that he doesn't want to! Don't think I don't know, you and Yan Song are both Chen Di's father-in-law! That's true, right? Naturally, you have to say good things about Chen Di! ”

Emperor Jiajing seems to be obsessed with cultivating immortals all day long, but in fact, he is well versed in the art of emperors. For every move of the courtiers, Jin Yiwei would write a list of hundreds of officials every day and hand it to Emperor Jiajing for preview. Although Lu Fang is the eunuch of the celebrant and the seal of the seal, he is nominally in charge of the entire Jinyi Guard. But in fact, he can only manage the edict of the Fusi of Beizhen. As for the elite horsemen of Nanzhen Fusi, they are all directly under the orders of Emperor Jiajing himself!

Lu Fang knelt down and said: "Even if the Holy Tomorrow has no past the emperor, how can the affairs of the world escape the emperor's eyes?" ”

Emperor Jiajing said: "Chen Di is a talent. Princess Ridiculous Yan is the pearl of my palm, how can I bear to let her serve a husband with Chen Di's lowly side room? This matter is non-negotiable! Go and beat that righteous son of yours well! ”

Lu Fang nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Jiajing said again: "Lu Fang, how many years have you been with me?" ”

Lu Fang said: "It has been thirty years since the dedication of the palace. ”

Emperor Jiajing sighed: "It's been thirty years in a blink of an eye!" You are the most caring person around me, and it is not easy to serve me for so long! ”

Emperor Jiajing's words moved Lu Fang's old tears.

Emperor Jiajing said again: "Since Zhai Luan returned to his hometown, Yan Song has been too domineering!" From the officials of the six departments to the feudal officials, all of them were replaced by his private individuals. Of course, there are also some talents like Chen Di, but most of them are just mediocre ministers who can only make money! ”

Lu Fang secretly rejoiced, fortunately he understood Emperor Jiajing's temperament, and he had always been reluctant to leave Yan Song.

Emperor Jiajing said: "Yan Song does know how to use people and do things. But does he want to make the world his? ”

Lu Fang was shocked when he heard this.

Emperor Jiajing asked Lu Fang again: "Lu Fang, how many years has it been since Xia Yan returned to his hometown to retire?" ”

Xia Yan was Zhai Luan's previous first assistant, and he was a well-deserved leader of the clear stream before Zhai Luan. Although this person is a capable minister, he has an arrogant personality and offends Emperor Jiajing. Jiajing was dismissed from his post in 21 years and returned to his hometown for retirement. Xia Yan is still Zhai Luan's teacher. He and Yan Song are also at odds.

Lu Fang hurriedly replied: "It's been more than three years since I thought about it. ”

Emperor Jiajing nodded and said, "Draft, Xia Yan will return to Beijing to serve as the first assistant of the cabinet!" Yan Song is still the second assistant! ”

In the art of the emperor, the balance of the power of the courtiers is emphasized. Emperor Jiajing did this because he saw that Yan Song and his party controlled the government and wanted to weaken Yan Song's power.

After Emperor Jiajing announced his will, he fell asleep on the throne. After waking up, Lu Fang said to Emperor Jiajing: "Your Majesty, Zhenhai Bo Chen Di has presented a Kunqu Opera team. ”

Emperor Jiajing said: "Oh? It's rare that he still has this filial piety. Recently, I just want to listen to Kunqu opera to nourish my ears, announce that team to Yongshou Palace, and let the concubines, princesses, and King Yu of the Six Palaces accompany me to enjoy the show!"
