Chapter 719 Horse Candidates

Xu Xinyi was anxious to do good things in Fujian and Zhejiang, and then returned to Beijing to help his cousin Zhu Yaoyuan take care of the marriage, so he urged Qin Lin to leave Nanjing as soon as possible. 《》.

So although his relatives and friends here in Nanjing tried their best to keep him, Qin Lin still refused on the grounds that he was on official business, and set off again after only two days.

Qingdai still wants to accompany her grandfather more, Li Shizhen is very reasonable, saying that when the compendium of materia medica is all printed, she will go to Beijing to present the imperial review, and she is afraid that she will not be able to meet at that time? Qing Dai burst into tears and laughed, and followed Qin Lin to leave Nanjing.

Wei Guogong and his wife didn't say anything, the two of them prepared all kinds of gifts in the house, and while Zhu Yao was married, the two of them were ready to go to Beijing to congratulate, and they could also meet Xu Xinyi again.

Chang Yinxu, the little marquis of Huaiyuan's Mansion, patted his chest loudly: "I want to go to the Beijing Division, Brother Qin, you go south, I go north, let's meet in Beijing!" ”

Qin Lin said goodbye to his relatives and friends, re-entered the Yangtze River waterway, prepared to transfer from Nanjing to Zhenjiang to the Jiangnan Canal, and then rushed to Hangcheng and Ningcheng.

On this day, the ship walked to the south of Yangcheng, and saw a ship flying like an arrow, the speed was extraordinarily fast, and the bow of the ship was facing the official ship that Qin Lin was on.

Everyone was surprised, and they saw someone on the boat shouting, "Is it Qin Shaobao?" Mu Enxiao under the door has been waiting for a long time! ”

This is the Ge Sentinel Officer who patrolled the river at the beginning, and now he has been promoted to a member of the Yangtze River Water Division, and he knelt and kowtowed to Qin Lin on the bow of the boat, he was this official, but thanks to Qin Lin's support!

"It turned out to be Ge guerrilla, what do you have to say?" Qin Lin asked.

Another person on the other side of the boat shouted: "Qin Shaobao, there is a letter from Beijing!" ”

This is a Jinyi soldier who followed Qin Lin in the early years, he took the letter from the Beijing division and rode south, and when he arrived in Yangcheng, he happened to encounter Ge's guerrilla warship, so he took the warship to Nanjing to find him, and he bumped into him after walking for a long time.

Does Jingshi have a letter? Qin Lin was very surprised, and said in his heart, who will write to me?

The captain jumped over and handed the letter to Qin Lin.

Seeing Juanxiu's handwriting on the cover, Xu Xinyi shouted: "Oh, this is a letter from Cousin Yao!" ”

Sure enough, it was Zhu Yaoyuan's letter, and the captain reported: "This letter was sent to our women's hospital by a palace maid who went out of the palace to buy that day, and Master Xu asked the little starry night to give it to Shao Bao when he saw it." ”

What is written in this letter? Xu Xinyi grabbed it and read: "Brother-in-law Qin, cousin Xu, come and save me!" ”

Yes?!

Everyone looked at each other, needless to say, Zhu Yaoyao must have encountered a problem, otherwise how could she write this letter? Xu Xinyi immediately pushed him: "Qin Lin, let's go back to Beijing to save Cousin Yao, seeing that she has taken the risk to ask for help, she must have encountered very troublesome and tricky things." Templar."

Qin Lin frowned: "It's not easy to do, my envoy this time, although to be honest, Taishi Zhang asked us to come out to avoid the limelight, but after all, it was the envoy of Qin's order, with the holy decree and the king's order banner, if you don't go to Jiangnan, you will rush back to Beijing, I'm afraid it will be ......."

Xu Xinyi's eyes suddenly dimmed, and the willow eyebrows were twisted together, Qin Lin did make sense, if he didn't go to Fujian, Zhejiang and other places, he would rush back to Beijing, this crime of leaving his post without permission and resisting the decree and disrespecting the will is not easy to bear.

"But、But what about Cousin Yao? Why don't I go back? Xu Xinyi grabbed his hair in distress, and quickly denied himself: "No, no, I'm not as smart as you, what kind of problem is there, I must have messed it up." ”

Poof~~ Qin Lin, Zhang Zixuan, and Qingdai couldn't help laughing, when will Miss Xu admit that she is not as good as Qin Lin, this is really the sun coming out of the west.

"The eldest princess is so pitiful, she shouldn't have left it alone when she asks for help," Qing Dai pouted and shook Qin Lin's arm: "Or, or you can think of a way again, Brother Qin, Qing Dai knows that you are the most capable." ”

Qin Lin grabbed his hair: "I can't be divided into two by myself, right?" Could it be that in addition to judging yin and yang, and being out of my body, I also have the ability to incarnate outside the body? ”

When Zhang Zixuan heard this, she lowered her head and thought about it, and smiled slightly: "Is it incarnated outside the body, the little sister has a way, you can try it." ”

What's the idea? Xu Xinyi and Qing Dai didn't know why, Qin Lin touched his chin thoughtfully.

Zhang Zixuan walked into the official cabin, closed the door, and soon opened the door again and walked out, but everyone was surprised: the daughter of the prime minister in front of her was slightly darker, and her face shape had changed slightly, wearing a wingless black veil, wearing a red python robe in Jiangya seawater, a nine-dragon jade belt around her waist, and official boots with foundation on her feet, she was clearly the second Qin Lin Qin Shaobao!

"Well, Ben Qin was ordered to inspect the affairs of Fujian and Zhejiang to open the sea, why don't you kneel down quickly?" Zhang Zixuan shouted in a rough voice.

Oh my god, everyone was stunned, this is Qin Lin who is alive, and I feel that there are seven points of similarity.

Qin Lin himself couldn't help but laugh: "It's like a statue, there's nothing wrong with it from a distance, it's just that half of the expression and action are Qin Shaobao, and half are Taishi Zhang." ”

Zhang Zixuan thought about it, and suddenly laughed sheepishly: "Hey, Gonggong Princes, this official has been patrolling Jiangnan and working hard all the way, have you arranged a few beauties for recreation?" ”

Like、This looks like a full ten! Everyone nodded in praise. (《》7*

Qin Linhei's face, his mouth is crooked, we are this kind of image?

Zhang Zixuan often dressed as a man to go out with her two brothers, and her makeup skills were very clever, and she was very familiar with Qin Lin, and her expression and movements were very similar when she pretended to be him.

The key is that this trip was originally an idle errand, and the main object of the inspection was the Yingzhou Xuanhui Envoy, what is the relationship between the Jin Xuanxuan Envoy and our Qin chief? There is also Hangcheng Bosi Huang Zhixiao and Huang Eunuch, who are also old friends! Therefore, as long as Zhang Zixuan said that she was sick and did not meet with irrelevant magistrates along the way, accompanied by Jin Yingji and Huang Zhixiao, and covered by the captains in brocade clothes on all sides, she would not be exposed.

So a plan was set, and Zhang Zixuan pretended to be Qin Lin to inspect the southeast coast, and Mrs. Qingdai and the four daughters of A, B, C and Ding were also with them, and Lu Yuanzhi and Niu Dali, the two generals, also accompanied them, so as to hide people's eyes and ears; Qin Lin and Xu Xinyi took the sword and hurried back to Beijing to see what trouble the eldest princess Zhu Yaoyuan had encountered.

"This plan is okay with everything else, but the golden demon should be disappointed, right?" Zhang Zixuan covered her mouth and smiled, that smile was very similar to Qin Lin.

------------

Jingshi, Zhu Yaoyuan was bored with painting, and a rare smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: He must be very anxious when he received the letter, I don't know if he will rush back to Jingshi? He is the minister of the Qincha, and he will definitely not change his itinerary to inspect the southeast for the sake of a little girl like me, who no one cares, especially Hangzhou and the incomparably beautiful Jin Xuanwei envoy......

The first time the eldest princess lied in her life, she wrote that letter to Qin Lin and sent it to the women's hospital with her henchman.

Doing such a ridiculous thing, I didn't sleep well for several nights in a row, and I was careful that my liver was pounding, and I felt red and hot even thinking about it.

But she couldn't help it! Thinking that the queen mother and Feng Dugong were about to choose a horse for themselves, a certain unknown fear tightly grasped Zhu Yaoyuan's heart, making her heart depressed, unable to eat, and even having difficulty breathing.

But what can be done, at this time, the people are talking about the fate of their parents, and the royal family has a set of rules for the princess to marry, and Zhu Yaoyuan, who is the eldest princess, does not even have a little bit of freedom, just like a caged bird, it is difficult to fly with wings ().

She even envied Zhang Zixuan very much, why did Taishi Zhang get sick so timely and so appropriately? As soon as the brother-in-law begged cheekily, the sister of the Zhang family married him smoothly......

It's a pity, it's a pity that my father has already dominated Bintian ten years ago, and he won't have this opportunity for himself...... Ah, Zhu Yao, Zhu Yao, what are you thinking nonsense!

The eldest princess smiled stupidly, her face burned crimson, and she didn't know that the painting under her pen had already been a mess.

Rong Mama walked over with a twist of her buttocks: "Eldest princess, what is the matter with you crying and laughing for a while?" The old body feels it, you have something to hide from the old body these days! ”

"No, no," Zhu Yaoyuan shook her head in a panic, her fawn-like innocent eyes turned away, and she didn't dare to look at Mama Rong.

"Hmph, don't think nonsense," Mama Rong pouted: "Queen Mother, I'm already choosing a husband for you, I heard that several of the concubines this time are all young heroes who are elegant and elegant, and I think it must be in line with the eldest princess." ”

Literary and elegant? Zhu Yaoyao returned to reality, her mood suddenly plummeted, and she shook her head disdainfully when she thought of these words, if she had agreed with Rong Mama two years ago, but now, she only knew that the poems made by that person were enough to make people laugh off their big teeth.

Anyway, before I get married, let me see that person again! Zhu Yaoyuan was thinking wildly in her head, she herself knew that she was definitely just wishful thinking this time, even almost crazy, but she would rather do this, never disobey other people's weak women, she must do a crazy thing in this life.

Cining Palace, the candidates for the three horses, are being seen by the Empress Dowager Cisheng Li herself.

The Queen Mother put more energy on the pregnant palace maid, because the imperial doctor said that she might be pregnant with a boy, the future Ming Dynasty's Ninety-Five Emperor.

Zheng Zhen didn't want this child to be stillborn all the time, which is simply known to anyone with eyes and heads, but only Emperor Wanli didn't know, or pretended not to know, so Empress Dowager Li had to do everything possible to protect this unborn grandson ().

Even if you are the queen mother, she has to admit that Zheng Zhen's methods are really powerful, and she has confused her son, if she has to sweep Zheng Zhen out of the house, then she will face the risk of breaking with her son, which is exactly what Empress Dowager Li does not want to see......

Feng Bao, who was standing behind him with a whisk in his hand, saw that the Empress Dowager Li was a little uneasy, so he leaned over and reminded her in a low voice: "Empress Dowager, the three horses are already in front of the palace, are they summoned?" ”

"Summon, summon," Empress Dowager Li came back to her senses.

The three horses are all Jingshi people's clans, to be precise, they are all the sons and nephews of the wealthy families of Jingshi, these families have huge amounts of gold and silver treasures, but there are no children who have succeeded in the imperial examination, so they put their minds on climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix.

The three candidates for the horse all gave Feng Bao a lot of bribes, and the one with the most was of course the most favored by him, not to mention that after the matter was completed, there would be a considerable amount of thank-you gifts.

The eldest prince is about to get married, and Feng Bao, the superintendent of the celebrant and the governor of the East Factory, seems to have heard the knock of the silver again, this insatiable guy who is greedy for money is now extending his dirty hand to Zhu Yaoyuan again.

For the young emperor Wanli, he has been afraid of Feng Bao who likes to make small reports since he was a child, Feng Bao used the queen mother to suppress the little emperor and do whatever he wanted, he was not afraid of Wanli at all, not to mention that Wanli was deeply trapped in Zheng Zhen's gentle trap, and he was troubled by the contradictions between Zheng Zhen and the child in the belly of the palace people, and he couldn't control this sister to be married at all.

It can be said that Empress Dowager Li is Zhu Yaoyuan's last line of defense.

In any case, it is her own daughter after all, and Empress Dowager Li took time out of her busy schedule to choose a son-in-law, so she can be regarded as competent, and she is still ready to choose, at least choose a colt of the same age, and she can't treat her daughter badly!

The queen mother's age is not very old, she is young and widowed, lives alone in the Buddhist hall, and her temperament is a bit like an old woman in the age of a sixtieth year, but in fact she is not yet forty years old, and it is not easy to hide from her eyes ().

Several horse candidates, all of whom ran quickly before approaching the jade steps, knelt down the mountain and called the Queen Mother Chitose Chitose Chitose.

At first glance, Empress Dowager Li was suddenly a little happy, and nodded towards Feng Bao: "Feng Daban is attentive this time, and the mourning family is very satisfied." ”

Indeed, the three horse candidates are still relatively handsome, the one surnamed Li on the left has a long body and a jade body, and the one surnamed Zhang on the right has a bright face, but it is still the most desirable one in the middle, with a white face, the eyebrows are handsome and delicate, the figure is not long or short, the eyes are quite bright, and an ivory folding fan is hung on the waist, which looks extremely elegant.

Feng Bao knew that the Queen Mother was moved, and mentioned on the side: "This son's surname is Liang, his family background is extremely rich, and he is from a talented background. ”

Needless to say, Liang Gongzi was the one who chose the most bribes to Feng Bao among the three people, he first gave a full 20,000 taels of silver, and then promised that if he succeeded in sitting on the throne of the horse, he would give 50,000 taels of thanks.

Seventy thousand taels before and after, this is an astonishing amount of money, you must know that marrying a Hanlin daughter is only 5,000 silver, although the status of marrying a princess is high, but the whole family can no longer be an official, and there is no power in Shilin, it is better to marry a Hanlin daughter.

Empress Dowager Li asked, "That Liang Gongzi, please stand up and take two steps to show the mourning family." ”

Liang Gongzi was overjoyed when he heard this, but he squatted on the ground for a while before he got up and stood up, and he didn't walk very well, and he seemed to be sick.

"Isn't this man sick?" Empress Dowager Li was surprised, she couldn't choose a sick husband for her daughter!

Feng Bao lowered his head and said, "I've inquired, this person can ride a horse and shoot arrows, but he suddenly caught a cold yesterday." ”

"I see," Empress Dowager Li breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that this person was born white and handsome, and the jade tree was in the wind, she was immediately very satisfied, and nodded: "That's this Liang Gongzi!" ”
