The Ming Dynasty has never had a precedent for the eunuch to go to other provinces to pass the decree. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThis time, Emperor Jiajing actually sent Lu Fang to Zhejiang to deliver the decree in person, and his favor to Chen Di can be seen.

Lu Fang made a loud announcement in the lobby of Taizhou Mansion: "The Japanese invade Zhejiang again, the prefect of Taizhou, Zhenhai Bo Chen Di guards Taizhou, and exterminates the Japanese invaders!" Chen Di has worked hard in Taizhou, and he has been given a jar of wine! In addition, the Taizhou regiment practiced two big victories over the Japanese invaders, and the soldiers worked together! It's really my elite teacher! Specially named 'Flying Tiger Army'! ”

Chen Di kowtowed and thanked him. Lu Fang hurriedly helped Chen Di up.

"You monkey cub, the emperor has always given wine, and it has always been limited to one glass. This time, I gave you a jar of imperial wine, and the emperor's expectations for you are really like a mountain and a sea! Lu Fang said with a smile.

Chen Di arched his hand and said: "The minister will never live up to the emperor's expectations." ”

Lu Fang pulled Chen Di aside: "Monkey cub, I'll tell you a big happy event." ”

Chen Di said: "Dare to ask where the father-in-law came from?" ”

Lu Fang lowered his voice and said, "The miscellaneous family sees that the emperor intends to recruit you as a concubine!" What a great event! Princess Xiaoyan is young and beautiful, and she is really a natural pair with a young talent like you! If you can really marry Princess Xiaoyan, you will be a relative of the emperor in the future. Even the miscellaneous family has to salute when they see you! You have to hurry up and exterminate the Japanese who have committed crimes, and as soon as the matter is over, enter Beijing immediately! ”

Chen Di said: "If this is the case, I must invite my father-in-law to drink a glass of wedding wine." However, the matter of resisting the Japanese is said to be fast and fast, and slow is also slow, so let's do it, I have prepared food and drinks in the back office, and we will talk while eating. ”

Chen Di and Lu Fang came to the back office, and Chen Di toasted him two glasses of wine first.

Lu Fang said: "Monkey cub, the miscellaneous family sees that you are about to ascend to the sky in one step!" Think about it, more than a year ago, you were a small seven-grade mung bean sesame official, and a year later, you even jumped several levels and became the prefect of the fourth grade. The prefect of Zhengsi is not uncommon, and now he has become the Zhenhai Marquis of the Ming Dynasty! The emperor originally intended to hand over the whole of Zhejiang to you in the next few years. But think about it again, it's Qu Cai to make you a feudal official! Look at the emperor's meaning, it is for you to stay in the capital to help him deal with military affairs after marrying the princess! ”

Chen Di exclaimed: "How can I, Chen Di, be so loved by the emperor!" I'm going to do my best and die! ”

Lu Fang drank an average amount of wine, and his stomach was already a little drunk after two glasses of wine: "Bah, bah! Don't take that dead word lightly! The emperor has recognized you to be his concubine! You're going to die, that princess Xiaoyan's shy appearance is not going to miss you, a virtuous son-in-law? ”

Chen Di asked Lu Fang, "By the way, how is the situation in the imperial court recently?" ”

Lu Fang is such a smart person, he naturally knows what the "situation" Chen Di wants to ask is. "Monkey cub, do you want to ask about the fight between Yan Cifu and Zhai Shoufu?"

Chen Di nodded.

Lu Fang drank another glass of wine and said, "Originally, Zhai Luan's brain had some tendons. The group of gossip clearers under him jumped up and down all day long, making the emperor uneasy. The emperor has long been dissatisfied with him. Over the past year, the emperor has valued you and wants to promote you everywhere. But it is always Zhai Luan and the emperor who are in opposition. The emperor's dissatisfaction with him is increasing day by day! Look at it, in a few months, the head of the cabinet will be replaced! ”

Chen Di asked Lu Fang: "If Zhai Shoufu steps down, is it possible for my father-in-law to take over as Shoufu?" ”

Lu Fang shook his head: "There are too many people staring at the position of the first assistant of the cabinet!" Have you ever heard of Xia Yan, the former cabinet chief assistant who returned to his hometown to live idle? ”

Chen Di is familiar with history, so he naturally knows Xia Yan's name! According to later history books, Xia Yan was a capable minister who first overthrew Zhang Xuan and became the first assistant of the cabinet. Then he fought with Emperor Jiajing, resigned and returned to his hometown, and his student Zhai Luan became the first assistant. Soon after Yan Song took Zhai Luan and became the first assistant of the cabinet, Emperor Jiajing reactivated Xia Yan and took over the position of the first assistant of Yan Song's cabinet. It wasn't until the twenty-seventh year of Jiajing that Yan Song designed to frame Xia Yan, resulting in Xia Yan being killed, and he sat firmly in the top position of the cabinet!

Chen Di was a little worried. You must know that Zhai Luan is a student of Xia Yan, and he is naturally not on good terms with Yan Song. If Xia Yan becomes the first assistant of the cabinet, can he give Chen Di, Yan Song's righteous son, a good look?

Forget it, it doesn't matter who is the first assistant in the court and who is the second assistant! Improving your strength is the first thing! At present, there are two pressing priorities: one is to expand the new army to guard against the next large-scale invasion of the Japanese invaders. The second is to quickly turn Zhejiang into their own land.

Chen Di took out a silver ticket of 20,000 taels from his sleeve and stuffed it to Lu Fang.

Lu Fang glanced at the amount of the silver ticket and said with a smile: "You monkey cub has become a foreign official, and your hands seem to be a lot wider!" ”

Chen Di said: "Where, where! If you want to say that in order to honor Father-in-law Lu, I will not hesitate to smash the pot and sell iron! ”

Lu Fang said: "Don't worry, the miscellaneous family knows that you monkey cub has a close heart to the miscellaneous family!" The miscellaneous family will definitely say a lot of good things for you in front of the emperor! Yan Cifu is really a blessing, he accepted such a righteous son from you! ”

Chen Di knelt on the ground for Lu Fang with a "poof": "If Father-in-law Lu does not give up, I am willing to worship Father-in-law Lu as my father-in-law!" ”

People say that Lu Fengxian in the Three Kingdoms period was a slave with three surnames. If this Chen Di is now the eunuch Lu Fang, who is the master of ceremonies, as his father-in-law, he will become a slave with two surnames.

Chen Di felt that Lu Fang was Emperor Jiajing's close confidant, and to a certain extent, he could influence Emperor Jiajing's decision-making. worshiped Lu Fang as his father-in-law, and Lu Fang will definitely open the door for his affairs in the future.

It's still the old saying, when you do things, the means are not important, but the result is the most important.

Lu Fang exclaimed: "Monkey cub, what you said is true? ”

Lu Fang also has her own little Jiujiu in her heart. The officials of the imperial court have their own way out, and it is a big deal to resign and return to their hometowns to farm. Only the eunuchs have no way out! Once you enter the palace, your home is long gone! The palace is their only home! If he can recognize Chen Di, the future horse master, as his father-in-law, it will be one more way out!

Chen Di said: "My admiration for my father-in-law is not a day or two! My father-in-law is loyal to the emperor and is a model for me to follow! I am willing to be my father-in-law's righteous son! In my lifetime, I will treat you as a parent-child courtesy! ”

Lu Fang said: "In this way, miscellaneous family, no, I will accept you as a righteous son!" However, the Ming Dynasty has regulations, and people in the palace are not allowed to make friends with foreign ministers. Don't make a noise about this matter, not even Yan Cifu. You and I, father and son, know it! ”

Chen Di said: "This is nature! At this time, my son has something to ask your father-in-law! ”

Lu Fang said: "Good son, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it." ”

Chen Di said: "My son wants to be a political envoy in Zhejiang. I also asked my father-in-law to speak for me in front of the emperor. ”

Lu Fang said: "Son, you are really an official fan! It's not enough to be named the Marquis of Zhenhai just now, and he even wants to be promoted to two levels in a row to be a political envoy! The political envoy is from the second grade! Besides, isn't Wu Ping doing it? Wu Ping is Zhai Shoufu's protégé. Although Zhai Shoufu is no longer favored by the emperor, after all, he is still in charge of the ministry! Can he make you get what you want? ”

Chen Di said: "My son naturally has a way to get that Wu Ping to take the initiative to resign and vacate the seat." As for whether my son can fill that vacant seat, it depends on whether you can speak for me in front of the emperor. ”

Lu Fangqi said: "Scholars have been studying for ten years, just to become an official. He, Wu Ping, is already a member of the second grade, and the miscellaneous family doesn't believe that he can take the initiative to let Xian. ”
