Early in the morning of the second day.

Yang Xiaoyu planned to go to the court to watch the play, but it was delayed because of Na Mingyue as a concubine.

Concubines in the Ming Dynasty were very simple, as long as you had silver and could afford to raise a lady, you could marry as many concubines as you wanted.

Yang Xiaoyu ordered Hu Cheng and Zhang Luo's kitchen to prepare a wedding banquet early in the morning, and sent the guards in the palace to send a wedding card to the officials of the Zhenfu Division, inviting them to come and drink the wedding wine.

Concubines don't need to make a big deal, as long as you invite some people to have a wedding banquet and drink a wedding wine, the concubine is justified.

Mingyue is Ling Lu's personal maidservant, and if she wants to take her as a concubine, she naturally has to say something to Ling Lu.

Yang Xiaoyu came to his courtyard with Mingyue early in the morning, and immediately sent someone to say a word to Ling Lu.

The raw rice is cooked and ripe!

After Ling Lu heard the news, she could only smile bitterly, she was Yang Xiaoyu's maidservant, but her handmaid became Yang Xiaoyu's wife one step faster than her, which was difficult for her to accept.

But she had to accept the facts!

At noon!

The officials of the Fusi Division of Beizhen came to congratulate Yang Xiaoyu with gifts.

Treating his subordinates, Yang Xiaoyu was still very generous, invited these people to have a happy wine, and when he left, he asked Hu Chenghe to give them a gift back, which was still a gift.

After the happy event of taking a concubine, Yang Xiaoyu summoned Chen Yingren and asked him to prepare, Keri sent Mingyue back to Jiangnan, and he was worried that Yang Yong would lose his temper, so he wrote a letter, explaining that he had held a concubine ceremony, and the child that Mingyue was pregnant with was in line with the etiquette system.

Chen Yingren is very happy for the young master, as the saying goes, there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest, the young master has an heir, which means that the next commander of the Yang family has an heir. Those of them who were born and died for the Yang family can be regarded as having a backbone.

The concubinage ceremony was completed in one day.

On the second day, Yang Xiaoyu took the sedan chair to escort Mingyue out of the city, boarded the boat from the wharf, and went straight to Hangzhou along the canal.

According to Mingyue, she was just over a month and a half pregnant with her child.

According to the time, it should be after Li Xuanzhi served him to be strong. The time when he was most aggressive.

Yang Xiaoyu assigned Mingyue six personal maids, and asked Chen Yingren to bring thirty guards to escort him personally, Mingyue's own martial arts are outstanding, and he is not worried about what will happen on the road.

After sending away the bright moon!

He hurriedly turned around and headed towards Fang Congzhe's mansion.

I was busy taking concubines yesterday, but I missed a good show.

Fang Congzhe suddenly appeared in the court and once again became the head assistant of the dynasty, and many officials who were suppressed by the Donglin Party immediately surrounded Fang Congzhe.

Among them, Zhejiang, Qi, and Chu have the largest number of officials, and there are also some officials without party affiliation who have been squeezed out by the Donglin Party and are determined to throw themselves into Fang Congzhe. and to save themselves.

The wind and rain above the court are unpredictable, yesterday it was the dominant Donglin Party, but today it has changed.

The Donglin Party seemed to be prepared, and on the first day of Fang Congzhe's entry into the cabinet, they once again pointed out that the first emperor had attacked Fang Congzhe because of the death of the red pill, and asked the emperor to punish Fang Congzhe.

The carpenter emperor listened to the words of Yang Xiaoyu and Ke Yinyue, and thought that Fang Congzhe was a loyal minister, and the Donglin Party officials were traitors.

The carpenter emperor was dissatisfied with the Donglin Party and turned over the old case again. strongly supported Fang Congzhe, and reprimanded Zhao Nanxing, an official of the Donglin Party. And announced in the court that the courtiers were not allowed to mention the death of the first emperor again.

However, the Donglin officials controlled the speech officials, and these people were proud of their death, ignoring the holy order of the carpenter emperor, kneeling on the temple and forcibly speaking. Ask the emperor to punish the crime and punish the officials who offered the red pill at the beginning.

Fang Congzhe has been immersed in officialdom for many years, and he knows how to lose his pawn and protect the handsome, he stood up to explain the benefits and disadvantages to the little emperor, and asked the little emperor to punish the officials who offered red pills. He asked for a surrender.

At this time, officials from Zhejiang, Qi, and Chu and centrist officials came forward to intercede for Fang Congzhe.

The carpenter emperor borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, slightly punished the official who had offered the red pill at the beginning, and punished Fang Congzhe for a month, and then calmed down the matter.

Donglin officials were dissatisfied with the emperor's punishment of Fang Congzhe, and urged the emperor to punish Fang Congzhe heavily.

Zhejiang, Qi, and Chu officials were not happy, they accused the Donglin officials of tyrannizing the government and plotting against them, and asked the emperor to drive the Donglin officials out of the court.

There was a lot of noise in the court!

However, Fang Congzhe and Ye Xianggao, who were the first assistants, did not stand up and speak, and let the officials behind them chirp and quarrel.

The carpenter emperor was furious, remembered Yang Xiaoyu's words, and immediately announced that the court staff would be restored from now on.

As soon as the officials heard that the staff had been restored again, they stood up one by one with righteous indignation.

The little emperor is not stupid, he does not kill the prestige of these people, what is the difference between him, the emperor and the puppet.

Therefore, he picked a few unpleasant officials, and dragged them out and beat them up with the Jinyi Wei Han general who was standing in the palace.

Because of their weak health, the two officials could not withstand the heavy punishment of the court cane, and they were knocked out on the spot.

The courtiers were reluctant to greet each other for a while, and they demanded that the court staff be revoked.

The carpenter little emperor saw that the ministers were afraid, thinking that he had finally found a way to deal with the ministers, ignored the ministers' advice, waved his hand and retreated.

After this incident, the momentum of the Donglin Party immediately changed a lot.

Some officials who were excluded by the Donglin Party showed their fangs and scrambled to be Fang Congzhe's protégés, and they more or less knew some of the secret affairs of the Donglin Party, so they dedicated them to Fang Congzhe as the way to advance.

Fang Congzhe knew that it would be difficult for the Zhejiang and Qi parties alone to deal with the powerful Donglin Party, and when he returned from the court yesterday, he openly met with officials, talked with some middle-level officials, and gave these officials Mobao as a sign of courtship.

When Yang Xiaoyu arrived in front of the mansion, he saw many carriages parked outside, and when he asked, he realized that these officials had all come to visit Fang Congzhe.

From morning to now, Fang Congzhe has seen four groups of officials.

Most of these officials came in groups of three or five.

After Yang Xiaoyu knew that Fang Congzhe was inconvenient to meet guests, he hurriedly left Fang's mansion and came to the palace.

The little carpenter emperor promised to let him recruit soldiers and horses, but he did not send the holy decree, he had to urge it, and he had to walk in front of the carpenter emperor from time to time, so that the little emperor would always remember him.

Outside the Baohe Palace, Yang Xiaoyu was summoned and hurriedly went in to meet the little emperor.

The carpenter emperor was doing carpenter work, and as soon as Yang Xiaoyu walked in, he stopped his carpenter work and praised Yang Xiaoyu for his good idea.

Yang Xiaoyu knew that the emperor loved to listen to flattery, so he pretended to be flattering and slapped the little emperor's ass fiercely, praising the little emperor as rare in the sky and unparalleled in the ground.

After flattering the little emperor, Yang Xiaoyu brought up the matter: "Your Majesty, the celebrant did not issue a holy decree, and the ministers did not dare to privately advocate the recruitment of soldiers and horses, and asked the emperor to surrender!" ”

The carpenter emperor patted his head, he was patronized and happy in the past two days, forgot about it, and hurriedly asked the little eunuch to send a message to the celebrant and asked them to quickly send the holy decree.

After the main thing, the little emperor mentioned his carpenter work again, recently he was studying the dragon boat, preparing to build a large dragon boat more than ten meters long, and asked Yang Xiaoyu to find him some drawings, so that he could start construction with the help of the drawings.

This is just a trivial matter, Yang Xiaoyu agreed without thinking.

Yang Xiaoyu accompanied the little emperor to talk for a while, and when the little eunuch brought the holy decree, he took his leave and left, letting the carpenter emperor continue to play his carpenter work.

With the holy decree of recruiting soldiers and horses, Yang Xiaoyu smiled in his heart, went all the way out of the palace, and hurried to Beizhen Fusi.

He summoned two deputy envoys and told them both about it.

The scribes of the Beizhen Fusi were sent to show him the list of all the horsemen of the Beizhen Fusi, including the remnants of the army.

There are 5,000 households under the Fusi of Beizhen, which are in charge of arresting bandits and guarding the prison.

The 5,000 households have a total of more than 5,300 cavalry in the establishment, and more than 2,000 candidates are more than 2,000 soldiers.

With a wave of his hand, Yang Xiaoyu promoted all the remaining 2,000 Hou Supplement troops to the Ti cavalry in the establishment, and sent the Ti cavalry to the south of the Yangtze River to pass the order, ordering Cheng Yun, Zhou Tong, and Cao Tai of the Yangzhou Thousand Households to bring 500 Ti cavalry to the capital to take up their posts.

According to Yang Xiaoyu's consideration, more than 2,000 troops plus Cheng Yun's 500 cavalry can build three thousand households, with Cheng Yun, Zhou Tong, and Cao Tai as 1,000 households.

With two thousand households left, Yang Xiaoyu decided to recruit strong men from outside.

But these two officials of the Thousand Households made Yang Xiaoyu a little difficult.

In the end, Yang Xiaoyu decided to take Xu Xianchun and Hu Chenghe as thousands of households!

Xu Xianchun is a deputy thousand households, and being promoted to a thousand households can only be said to be a normal promotion.

Hu Chenghe is a commoner, and he may not be able to convince the people if he is promoted to the lord of a thousand households.

In this regard, Yang Xiaoyu explained to his subordinates that Hu Cheng and the Qianhu Office under his management did not arrest bandits or handle cases, and the people of this Qianhu Office were responsible for building ordnance and tailoring clothes for the Beizhen Fusi, cleaning the yamen, and guarding the warehouse.

All in all, this Thousand Households is a miscellaneous house, and the Jinyi Wei Ti Cavalry under its jurisdiction is drawn from other Thousand Households, and all those who are over sixty years old will work in this Thousand Households according to their qualifications and reputation.

Some of the injured and disabled Tiqi were also summed up in this thousand households.

Yang Xiaoyu wrote out a series of changes with pen and ink, and asked Xu Xianchun to recruit soldiers and horses, and the other thousands of households were responsible for sending the old horses under their command to the Zhenfu Division, and Huang Zhongwei, the deputy envoy of the Zhenfu Division, arranged them for unification.

Arrange some trivial matters again, Yang Xiaoyu waited for Cheng Yun and others to come north.

Dozens of days passed in the blink of an eye.

During this time, Jin Yiwei commanded Tian Ergeng to send people to Yang Xiaoyu several times, hoping that Yang Xiaoyu would not recruit soldiers and horses, and that if he needed soldiers and horses, he could be drawn from several other yamen of Jinyi Wei.

Tian Ergeng's careful thinking, Yang Xiaoyu saw through it at a glance, this person wanted to throw some thorny people to Beizhen Fusi, so that these people could harm him.

At the same time, Tian Ergeng wanted to put his hand into Beizhen Fusi to achieve the goal of completely controlling Jinyiwei.

Yang Xiaoyu was not so stupid, he directly refused Tian Ergeng's request on the grounds of the emperor's holy decree.

Beizhen Fusi is subordinate to Jinyiwei, but it is personally commanded by the emperor, and it is not Tian Ergeng's turn to be the commander. (To be continued......)
