Chapter 14: Set a small goal first

Wei Chao and Zhu Youxiao were the earliest, and they used to sleep in the same bed when he was young, and it can be said that they worked hard and won their trust. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Like yesterday, he knew that Zhu Youxiao had a lot of things, and he was accompanied by Wang An, so he had been silently guarding outside Ciqing Palace and did not disturb. Now, since he asks to see, let him see.

"Your Highness, as far as the slaves know, Wei Jinzhong did not participate in the matter of opening the treasure house privately, and I beg His Highness to take it lightly." After the Wei Dynasty entered the hall and bowed, he went straight to the point.

Wei Chao was younger than Wei Jinzhong, because he had the same surname as a brother, and when he heard that Wei Jinzhong was taken away by Dongchang, he hurriedly came to Ye Xiang to intercede for 'Da Wei'.

Ye Xiang frowned when he saw that he was as decrepit as Shen Yin, his face was white and handsome, tall and thin, but his age in his 40s gave people a frivolous sense, and he looked cynical and careless.

Wei Jinzhong's original name was Li Jinzhong, and Zhu Youxiao's mother, Wang Cairen, was allowed to change back to his original surname because he had the same name as Li Jinzhong under the name of Xili and read his intentions. It is easy for anyone who has read this history to understand that this Wei Jinzhong is the later Wei Zhongxian, and Ye Xiang can also think of it.

Ye Xiang was also very conflicted about what kind of attitude Wei Jinzhong and Ke Yinyue should have. First of all, the simple point is to kill and get rid of future troubles forever, so that it is a bit of a punishment without teaching; Secondly, it is to transfer them to insensitive positions and leave them to fend for themselves, as long as they do not rely on them, there will be no so-called "Hakwei disaster".

Ye Xiang is more inclined to the latter, after all, they haven't done anything bad now, especially Ke Yinyue is also absolutely loyal to herself, and strictly speaking, it turns out that Wei Jinzhong's eunuch party in history is Zhu Youxiao's own training to deal with the Donglin party, and Wei Jinzhong is just carrying the black pot.

Since Ye Xiang has come to this time and space, he will definitely face the problem of party strife, and he thinks that it is necessary to have a back-handed man to do something offensive for himself. But first of all, this person must be controlled, so Ye Xiang wants to make him suffer first.

Seeing Wei Chao's frivolous appearance, Ye Xiang suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and said, "You don't care about this matter for now, before your aunt moves to the palace, you will clean the palace and wait for you." ”

Wang An, who was standing behind Ye Xiang, saw that the Wei Dynasty was going to continue to plead, so he hurriedly stopped it, he had been with Ye Xiang for the past two days, knowing that he was decisive in killing, if the Wei Dynasty was arrogant and arrogant, and then twittered crookedly in front of Ye Xiang, it might backfire.

Wei Chao was already stared at by Ye Xiang, so when he saw this, he stopped talking and took the opportunity to retire and leave.

Xunzi once said that a gentleman is erudite and self-conscious, and he knows what to do. Ye Xiang hadn't been alone since he woke up yesterday, he needed to be quiet and check his gains and losses by the way. He knew that there was no more entertainment in this era, so he asked Wang An to move the "Daming Huidian" from the warehouse of the ceremonial supervisor to record the current rules and regulations.

"Daming Huidian" was written in the Hongzhi period, by this time, has been supplemented and revised many times, the most recent is in the 15th year of Wanli, organized by the first assistant Shen Shixing. This version is not only what Ye Xiang is looking at now, but also the version that will be circulated in later generations.

There are a total of 140 volumes and 228 volumes, which record the functions, etiquette, administrative management and other aspects of the central and local governments in the Ming Dynasty.

After dinner, Ye Xiang looked at the pile of books that had been brought over like a hill, and felt a little big. If he wants to be the emperor and dominate a country, it will definitely not work if he does not understand the current mechanism of government operation. If you encounter a minister who only talks about subjectivity, it will make people laugh. If you know your ignorance, you have to find a way to make up for it, and reading is a shortcut. Ye Xiang first set a small goal for himself, and read this set of books first. So after he drove out all his entourage, he quietly and attentively picked up his book.

Reading books has to face several problems, sentence breaking, traditional Chinese characters, vertical arrangement, using a brush, fortunately, Ye Xiang is not ignorant, but to be as good at breaking sentences as the Ming Dynasty readers, writing a good brush word, it is very difficult.

On the third day of September, the sun had just risen above the horizon, and from time to time there were bursts of chirping from the treetops, as if predicting another hot day today.

Ren Rongrong, who was in the prime of her cardamom years, sat in the living room of Ke Yinyue's younger brother Keguang's outer house, ignoring the dim sum snacks handed over by the courteous little fat man, and looked out of the door with an anxious face, she was waiting for Ke Yinyue.

In the Ming Dynasty, girls would regularly shave their heads until they were ten years old, leaving only one lock [liΗ”] on the top of their heads and two ears on each of their heads, and tying them into two small mustaches with red ribbons, such as Zhu Huiyuan. Because it resembles two horns, it also refers to childhood with 'total horns'.

After the age of 10, they will stop shaving their heads, start growing their hair, and still tie their hair into two mustaches. Because of the Tang Dynasty, Du Mu has a poem 'Graceful and Round, more than 13 times, the beginning of February. Therefore, it is used to describe the girl who has not yet reached adulthood. In later generations, that is, girls in junior high school.

It is only at the age of 15 that girls comb their hair into a bun and insert hairpins to herald adulthood, which is called 'and 笄'.

Ren Rongrong's grandniece and granddaughter named Wei Jinzhong is actually his adopted daughter, thirteen years old this year, very intelligent, and often gives Wei Jinzhong ideas. There was no news of her father-in-law yesterday and yesterday, and she felt that something was wrong, so she came to Yinyue early in the morning to find out the news.

"Sister Rong, you can eat some chrysanthemum cake first, it's sweet." Hou Guoxing, who had small eyes, diligently brought the dim sum that Ke Yinyue brought out of the palace to Ren Rongrong, and said almost pleadingly.

Ren Rongrong pushed the plate aside, but her eyes never left the door, "Brother Guoxing, Rongrong really can't eat, you said that Master Tu has been gone for so long, why hasn't he come back." ”

Hou Guoxing saw that she didn't eat it, so he grabbed a piece and put it in his mouth, and said inarticulately, "Sister Rong, don't worry, Uncle Wei must be fine." ”

"You don't understand, what can I do if something happens to my father-in-law." Ren Rongrong looked sad.

Ren Rongrong was originally an orphan who was taken home by Wei Jinzhong when she was begging for food on the street after she was separated from her parents.

Wei Jinzhong had a daughter before entering the palace from the palace, because he was not happy in the palace at the beginning, his wife also remarried, and his daughter did not recognize him as a biological father, which made him quite disappointed. His situation slowly began to improve until he cooked food for Wang Cairen, and he also had the money to buy a house outside.

When he went out of the palace on an errand, he saw that Ren Rongrong, who was embarrassed, was like a little cat, mixed in a group of stinky beggars, and couldn't get food, and finally had to curl up in the corner, his face was full of helplessness, so his father's love was overflowing, and he had the idea of adopting. Of course, the most important thing is that with the vision of his old driver, it can be seen that Ren Rongrong is a beauty embryo, and with a little training, she is a beauty who does not lose her national color.

Ren Rongrong is nameless, Rong Rong is the name of Wei Jinzhong's biological daughter, and Ren is her real surname. Wei Jinzhong said to the outside world that Rong Rong was her grandniece, and only those close to him knew that Rong Rong was an adopted daughter.

After several years of brocade clothes and jade food and Wei Jinzhong's training, Ren Rongrong has been slim.

Maybe it's the overflow of father's love or it may be to make up for regrets, Wei Jinzhong has always treated her as his own. He himself was illiterate, but he spent a high price to invite an old master from Beijing to teach her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he didn't know where to find a palace maid who left the palace because of old age to teach her manners.

Ren Rongrong may be afraid of living on the street again to live the kind of life of grabbing food with others and being ignored by others, she studies very hard, and she is smart and clever not to speak. In particular, in her cardamom years, she likes to watch the popular "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and she treasures the strategic allusions in it.

After Wang Cairen passed away, Wei Jinzhong was sent back to the Jiazi library as a treasury manager, and without the rewards of the nobles in the palace, their lives became poor. Ren Rongrong saw it in her eyes, took the opportunity to inquire about the situation in the palace, and gave advice to her father-in-law, so that he could bribe Li Jinzhong under the name of Xi Li with a lot of money. Wei Jinzhong acted suspiciously according to the plan, but he really got what he wanted. Since then, Wei Jinzhong has regarded Ren Rongrong as a military advisor and strategist, and when he encounters difficulties, he will first consult with her, and Ren Rongrong has lived up to the trust, and the strategies he has come up with have made Wei Jinzhong turn danger into a disaster every time, perhaps, this is the so-called talent.

Since the day before yesterday, when Wei Jinzhong told Zeng to prevent the minister from snatching the emperor's eldest son, she knew that something bad was going to happen, so she asked him to go to Keyinyue for help, and agreed to send someone to deliver the news every day, if there is no news, it means that there is an accident. Yesterday, Ren Rongrong didn't receive any news, so she rushed to Ke Yinyue's foothold outside the palace early this morning.

Ren Rongrong knew that Ke Yinyue had wanted to be her daughter-in-law, but after receiving Wei Jinzhong's education, she was no longer willing to be an ordinary woman with a husband and children. Ren Rongrong knows her strengths, not only is she beautiful, but she also thinks that her IQ can crush most women, and she has higher goals.

Hou Guoxing is a few months older than Zhu Youxiao, he is already 16 years old, and his love has been opened. Seeing that Ren Rongrong didn't pay attention to herself, he boldly looked at her.

Ren Rongrong combed two small hair mustaches, tied with white ribbons on the top of her head, the black and uneven Liuhai on her forehead was divided into crystal ears on both sides, under the willow leaf thin eyebrows were smart and watery eyes, under the straight little nose was a red mouth, and there were faint dimples on her cheeks.

She wears a long jacket with a collar printed with lotus flowers, her right side is decorated with a white collar on the neckline, and her lower body is a light pink pleated horse-faced skirt, and her small feet are hidden at the bottom of the skirt, which is not visible. Ren Rongrong was covered with a gauze shirt, although the loose long jacket hid the slightly large-scale chest, but in Hou Guoxing's opinion, she was still like a fairy.

Ren Rongrong is a girl, Chu Kui has arrived, she is sensible very early, she knows that Hou Guoxing is looking at herself, she has no intentions for this little fat man, she is not his dish, not to mention that the life and death of her father-in-law are uncertain, and she has no time to care about these details.

After being stared at by the little fat man for a long time, Ren Rongrong began to become unnatural, but fortunately, Tu Wenfu, who was out to inquire about the news, hurriedly walked through the door, which made her relax as if she had escaped from the heavens. Ren Rongrong hurriedly got up and walked to Tu Wenfu, shook the back of his hand, and asked urgently, "Master Tu, you are finally back, how about inquiring?" Is there any news of my stepfather? Is he okay. ”

"Girl, you sit down first, and wait for the old man to drink saliva, first." Tu Wenfu, who was wearing a Confucian shirt and a scarf made of lacquered yarn, said profusely.

After Tu Wenfu's breath was calm, he looked at Ren Rongrong, who was staring at him tightly, and said with a solemn face, "Girl, Lao Wei is now locked up in the Dongchang prison because of Li Jinzhong's private opening of the treasure house, don't worry, he has no worries about his life at present." ”

"The father-in-law has nothing to do with the treasure theft, isn't it ......?"

Tu Wenfu knew that Wei Jinzhong, a righteous daughter, was not young at all, but she was good at intrigue and scheming, so he nodded and said, "From the old man's point of view, there are two possibilities, one is that the prince wants to cut off the wings of Xili Niangniang, and Lao Wei is just implicated; The second is that Zou Gonggong of Dongchang wants to take this opportunity to clean up Dongchang and eliminate the influence of Lu's father-in-law. ”

"Dongchang's methods, I'm afraid that my father-in-law will be more auspicious." Ren Rongrong is still young in the end, and if she cares, she is chaotic, but at this time, she has lost her previous agility.

"Wei Chao and Mama Ke have already pleaded with the prince, according to the old man's inference, although the prince refuses to release him, but he has no intention of delving, Dongchang Zou Gonggong will not act recklessly, but it is inevitable that Lao Wei will suffer some hardships."

The little fat man also heard a rough idea, because it was none of his business, he was not in a hurry, so he borrowed the heart to let Rong Rong come, and said, "Sister Rong Rong, you can rest assured, my mother is the eldest son of the emperor, he is good to my mother, if my mother intercedes, Uncle Wei will be fine." You rushed over early in the morning, you didn't eat anything, let's eat some chrysanthemum cake, this is my mother from the palace, it is said that it was rewarded by Emperor Daxing. ”

Ren Rongrong ate there, as long as things don't come to fruition for a day, then there will be no stable moment for a day, shaking her head, after being silent for a long time, she made a decision, walked up to Tu Wenfu, and said firmly, "Master Tu, I want to enter the palace." After speaking, he knelt down and pleaded, "My father-in-law treats me as if I was a biological father, and even more so. It is said that there is no suitable person to serve the eldest son of the emperor, I am willing to enter the palace to atone for my father-in-law, and ask Master Tu to think of a way. ”

The little fat man is gone, Ren Rongrong still has a chance outside the palace, if she enters the palace, if she is valued by the eldest son of the emperor, then won't she have any hope? So he hurriedly spoke out to stop him, but he couldn't find a suitable excuse, so he had to beg and say, "Ah, Sister Rongrong, you must not do it." You went to the palace, what should I do? ”

Ren Rongrong cares about Hou Guoxing's thoughts, he is just a toad who wants to eat swan meat in his eyes, not only is he fat and weak, but he dozes off when he reads, how can he entrust his virgin body to such a person, he is not his ideal wishful husband. What's more, now that my father-in-law is still in the Dongchang prison, if I don't run, there will be no hope. She also knew that the emperor's eldest son was young and not yet married, and he would be the new monarch in a few days, and with the methods she had learned to seduce men, over time, the harem might not have a place for herself.

Tu Wenfu is old and refined, looking at this little girl who is only more than ten years old, how can she not understand what Ren Rongrong is planning, she is very surprised in her heart, and she can't help but sigh, Lao Wei Fuyuan is not shallow.
