The autumn breeze sent cool, expelling the scorching heat and sultry heat of summer from Anlu, and Anlu sent away Tie Wantong and ushered in the mud old hole. Kong Zhang's behavior is completely different from Wantong, he treats people very kindly, and the yamen is also well-known for being good looking, but things have become extremely difficult.

He would patiently listen to the wrongs of every wrongdoer, and show full sympathy, so that people felt that this was really a parent of the people who cared about the people, but soon everyone found that his sympathy was limited to sympathy, and as for the concrete solution, it was far away.

On the contrary, some bold people reported the matter to the palace, and if they were lucky enough or had a good enough way, the problem would be solved quickly. The palace not only has great authority, but Yang Chengzu Yang Yizheng in his palace has a lot of dealings with the local gentry, and it is also very convenient to solve his own problems. Gradually, the people have begun to get used to complaining to the palace instead of looking for the yamen, and Kong Zhang's life has become idle.

Under this tacit understanding, the authority of the royal palace was established, and Anlu began to truly resemble a pro-vassal feudal state. At least during the autumn harvest this year, no one will default on the rent of the palace, and the yamen will not continue to withhold the money and grain due to the palace.

Among the women of the Yang family, Li Yu'e and Hao Qingqing each gave birth to a daughter, but it was Miao Xiugu, who had the most embarrassing identity, who gave birth to a son for the Yang family. The birth of this eldest son made the Liu family happy in their hearts, and for the Miao family, their hearts gradually became a little more stable.

The side room that can give birth to a son and the side room that can't give birth to a son are always different, even if their identity is embarrassing, but with the support of this son, it will not be so easy for the eldest woman to drive herself away in the future.

The relationship between Yang Chengzu and Zhu Xiuchang did cause some discussion in Anlu, but the scope of influence was very limited and did not cause any huge impact. The main reason is that there are too many big things, and things like this are not easy to attract attention.

The imperial court's attack on Nanchang was really as Yang Chengzu analyzed, destroying the withering and decaying, and breaking it with one drum. Whether it was a strong city defense or those sharp firearms, they all seemed to have been robbed of their power by immortal arts, and they were completely useless, and they were successfully captured by the official army.

Only when the palace was attacking and defending, there were some obstacles, and those who could defend the palace were all King Ning's most confidant guards, and the anti-water trend did not affect them. However, in the face of the general trend, their tenacity only delayed the loss of the palace for two more days. When King Ning was about to break through the palace, he committed suicide with fire, and all the people died, and the Ning clan was eliminated. As for whether the fire was set by King Ning or someone else, there was no way to investigate, so it could only go with the wind.

After this rebellion was quelled, a large number of letters were found in the palace of King Ning, which were said to be letters exchanged between the civil and military officials of the imperial court and the famous families in Jiangnan and King Ning. Even when the Shunde army gained the upper hand, the evidence of the secret confession of the officials of several provinces to the king of Ning was also included, and if the imperial court followed the map and sanctioned it by letter, I don't know how many people would be thrown into Wusha, and how many people would lose their heads.

After seeing those documents, the Son of Heaven did not read them, but ordered them to be burned in public, following the example of Cao Mengde. After this kind of action makes everyone breathe a sigh of relief, they have to praise the Son of Heaven Shengming, and Daming is hopeful.

But in private, another theory is slowly spreading, and what the Son of Heaven burned was only a part of those letters. All the letters that really matter have been kept by the Son of Heaven, and he will slowly settle accounts with others in the future. This kind of news has no reason at all, but it spreads very quickly, especially among the upper echelons of Anlu, and this kind of rumor spreads especially quickly.

Like the local gentry leaders, although they are on the side of the imperial court, as a famous family, if they want to be a tumbler, it is inevitable to bet on both ends. Most of the families communicated with each other when the Shunde army gained power, and some made overtures. Once these good things are investigated by the imperial court, it will probably be a catastrophe.

In the face of these pressures, no one has the energy to pay attention to some matters of private life. Whether it is the huge interest space vacated by Jiangxi, or the final destination of those letters, the major families are like sharks smelling blood to Jiangxi and Nanjing, and few people pay attention to the situation in Anlu.

In the Changshou County Lord's Mansion, Ruxian and Zhu Xiuchang sat opposite each other, on a chessboard, the two black and white sons were strangled together, and the two were similar in chess strength, but now Zhu Xiuchang is not energetic, but he has fallen behind. As soon as the son fell, she shook her head and said, "This game, it is estimated that she will lose again." You are a very good chess player, a woman like you is scheming, I am a little worried about handing over the child to you. Will you bully him? ”

"Of course my scheming is heavy, if you want to lack a heart, I have a ready-made one at home, next time I will let Hao Qingqing's female bandit come over." That's a heartless one, just after giving birth to a child, she played with a big knife in the yard, and said that when her daughter grew up, she would teach her to practice boxing and knife practice, and when the time came, several sisters and brothers would climb all over the ground. Can you rest assured that such a person will be the mother of your child? ”

Originally, in the correspondence between Zhu Xiuchang and Yang Chengzu, she deliberately avoided the situation of pregnancy, but after the battle of Sanguan Town, and seeing the four daughters of the Yang family give birth to offspring, Zhu Xiuchang made an extremely bold decision: she also wanted to give birth to a child for Yang Chengzu.

The matter between her and Yang Chengzu is only because there are many important things that affect it now, so there is no big turmoil in Anlu. But this does not mean that their relationship can be recognized, it is impossible for the county lord to remarry, and Yang Chengzu cannot be a guest of honor, the relationship between the two people cannot be seen after all, in fact, even the princess is in the dark. When you think about it, you know that a widow giving birth to a child can't do it after all.

After she became pregnant, what she needed most was to find someone to top the tank. Among the daughters of the Yang family, Ruxian is indeed unable to give birth to a child, that is, the best candidate, since Zhu Xiuchang got pregnant, Ruxian also claimed to be pregnant, just wait until the time of childbirth, and count the child in her name.

It is because of this relationship that two women who would not have intersected began to correspond, and then they became friends. Making friends with people is a professional skill like an immortal, and the two have an amazing tacit understanding in some aspects, and they are indeed speculative, plus the unborn child is the link, and the contact is becoming more and more frequent.

is like this kind of small fight, which has almost become part of Zhu Xiuchang's entertainment program.

"The female bandit in your family is actually quite interesting, a few days ago she danced a knife in the palace, and the mother concubine praised her. If she weren't for that bad woman, the mother would really want to declare her into the palace and be a guard. It is said that she has a real heart and is a good person, but you should beware of the one who gave birth to a son and the future eldest woman. ”

Ruxian said: "Forget it, that lady doesn't know where she is, don't think about her." Where's our one? At this time, shouldn't he be waiting here, beating our shoulders and legs, and singing a few songs, saying what kind of prenatal education? Where have the people gone? ”

Zhu Xiuchang said angrily: "Don't mention him, in the Qixiang Pavilion Su Ruoxi, it was said that there was an important person, but I don't know what important person is, if I have to meet in such a place, can't I meet in my county lord's mansion?" I'll clean him up when he comes back. ”
