Chapter 706: Zhengde's Choice of Concubines (I)
Qin Kan's suggestion was very good, and the father and son of the Yang family were very moved and jumped with emotion.
"Never! The fourth rank of the left senator of the General Administration Division, how can a cultivator who has just come out of the Hanlin Academy be able to do it, he can't make it, he can't make it......" Without waiting for his son to speak, Yang Tinghe categorically denied it.
Qin Kan really wanted to move his father-in-law Du Hong out as a reference, compared to Yang Zhuangyuangong, Du Hong was called "He De He Can", he was embarrassed to be the imperial history of the left capital, Yang Zhuangyuan didn't need to blush even if he was a minister.
Yang Shen's face was happy, he knew the weight of the left senator of the Daotong Political Division, and he wanted to pretend to excuse a few words and then agree, but his father categorically denied it, as if he poured a basin of cold water on his head, and it was cool from the outside to the inside.
The faces of the two fathers and sons were in their eyes, and Qin Kan couldn't help but sneer: "Mr. Yang, don't say more, the name of Ling Lang is not based on Mr.'s shadow, but really earned by his own ability, it took eight years of hard work in the Hanlin Academy to officially become a minister, and he is already a humble gentleman, to be honest, Ling Lang didn't touch your light, but it was Mr. Yang's status as a cabinet scholar that dragged down Brother Yang's future......"
Yang Tinghe was stunned for a moment, and finally sighed, and looked at Yang Shen with a little more apologetic eyes.
Qin Kan then smiled and said: "Mr. Yang must know that Liu Weiming, the left senator of the General Secretary of the General Administration last month, has been handed into the cabinet, and His Majesty has also agreed, the day of Senator Liu's resignation is approaching, and the new candidate has not yet been found. Brother Yang is not the only one who suddenly takes up a high position? As the so-called internal move does not avoid relatives, Mr. Yang has been worried about the court officials discussing and participating in the impeachment over the years, and deliberately ignores Brother Yang, so won't he fall behind? If any speaker is not satisfied, ask him to give birth to a champion son to see. ”
Yang Tinghe was quite moved by Qin Kan's words, and he held his long beard and closed his eyes and groaned.
Yang Shen couldn't help but look at Qin Kan, and his eyes showed gratitude.
Qin Kan also cast a sympathetic glance at Yang Shen, and told him with his eyes, That's right, my father-in-law relied on me to use this shameless rhetoric to become the imperial history of Zuodu, and originally introduced him to work as the celebrant supervisor. The old man doesn't do it......
Hesitated. Yang Tinghe finally figured it out.
Yes, I gave birth to a champion son, and this champion son has honestly worked hard in the Hanlin Academy for eight years, from a young talent in his prime to a middle-aged monster. Why can't you come out now and be a left senator? Why can't you do it? Several traversal dynasties. Which champion is so bleak and depressed?
The decision was made in mind. Yang Tinghe stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "In this way, everything is in trouble with Grandpa Qin." The old man is in an important position, but it is really inconvenient to come forward, and he is ashamed. ”
Yang Shen stood up silently, without superfluous nonsense, and after straightening his clothes, he made a very formal Confucian bow to Qin Kan.
Qin Kan hurriedly returned the salute and said with a smile: "Brother Yang's talent cannot be buried, Yu Gong said, I am also a talent for the country, and Brother Yang can be of great use." ”
The purpose of the Yang family's father and son's visit today was achieved, and the three of them laughed and talked about gossip in the front hall, but the gossip and the secrets of the deep palace were left and right, and after sitting for half an hour, the Yang family father and son got up to say goodbye, and Qin Kan sent each other off with a smile.
The father and son had just crossed the gate of the Qin Mansion with one foot, and Qin Kan said coldly behind his back: "Brother Yang received a gift from the dog today, which can be regarded as a formal worship of the teacher, and tomorrow the Guogong Mansion will be sent to the Yang Mansion, and I hope that Brother Yang will not give up." In the future, if the dog fails to pass the top prize, don't blame me for turning my face......"
Thump!
The father and son staggered in unison, with an unusually amazing hungry dog...... The tiger descended the mountain and couldn't stop falling outside the gate of the Qin Mansion.
"The champion is the champion, he is so amazing and uninhibited ...... the street" Qin Kan looked at Yang Shen's ecstatic figure with envy and jealousy, thinking of his son who already had the potential to kill and set fire, and sighed in amazement.
********************************************************************
Ten days passed quickly, and Jingshili has become lively recently.
Many family members of foreign officials and eunuchs entered Beijing in groups, and horse-drawn carriages with airtight curtains drove into Beijing, and the carriages were full of female dependents of foreign officials who had not yet left the cabinet.
Fourteen years after Emperor Zhengde ascended the throne, the first choice of concubines began.
Early in the morning, the palm print of the great eunuch in the worship room stood in front of the Cheng'an Gate at the south gate of the palace, smiling at the corners of his mouth, patiently waiting for the women from all over the world to be selected.
The selection of concubines in the Ming Dynasty is different from previous dynasties, in order to prevent the party from messing up the government after the foreign relatives, the emperor must choose the concubine of the poor and good families of the people in principle, and it is absolutely forbidden to hold the power of the courtiers and daughters to enter the palace, and the standard of choosing the concubine is very complicated and cumbersome, in addition to the external conditions such as the eyes, nose, lips, hair, ears, forehead, eyebrows, voice, etc., we must also pay attention to virtue and integrity, everything is based on the "female training" revised by Queen Ma in the first year of Hongwu as the judging standard.
Of course, more than 100 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the rules have changed slightly, and the selection of concubines is no longer limited to poor and good women, but to the mainstream of small officials and small officials.
What makes men envious and jealous the most is that the age of the concubines to be selected is set to be between thirteen and nineteen years old, and the rows in front of the palace are all fresh and lovely little Loli......
The eunuch of the palm print of the Jingshifang is named Ma Chun, and Hongzhi has been leading the Jingshifang since the beginning of the third year, and the Jingshifang, as the name suggests, is of course in charge of the emperor's affairs, that is, every time the emperor and the concubine have the most fun, they play the role of reminding the emperor not to be too high, and the emperor is playing when he is rising, and he often has to shout "The emperor should get up" without knowing whether he is alive or dead......
Ma Chun was able to live peacefully to Zhengde for 14 years, which is probably related to the feng shui of his ancestral tomb......
Therefore, this kind of person is usually the least popular with the emperor, and Ma Chun has been the palm print of the worship room for nearly 30 years and has not moved his position, which is a typical example.
…………
Emperor Zhengde ascended the throne for the first time in 14 years to choose a concubine, which can be described as a major event under the great tomorrow, and it is also a grand event of the worship room.
How many years, how many years have I not seen so many warblers and swallows?
In front of Cheng'an Gate, countless carriages stopped in the square, the groom lifted the curtain, hundreds of all kinds of charming and graceful women got off, gathered in one place like a group of sparrows chirping, without wind and waves without the simplicity and happiness of the world, so that this cold and cruel Daming Palace seems to have a smell of sunshine.
At the end of the hour, Mao Cheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Qin Kan, the Duke of Ningguo, and Jiang Bin, the guerrilla general of Xuanfu, came to Cheng'an Gate on time in official robes, Ma Chun's old eyes narrowed, and then his face quickly greeted him with a smile on his face.
The three concubines are the deputy envoys, a eunuch in the respectful room, and countless eunuchs and female officials, which constitute the jury of today's selection of concubines.
Ma Chun was exquisite, very polite to Mao Cheng, Qin Kan and Jiang Bin, the four of them gathered together to greet for a while, Mao Cheng looked at the sky, then nodded and smiled at Qin Kan, signaling to officially start choosing a concubine, but he was cold and indifferent to Jiang Bin, and even the corners of his eyes were not respectful.
In these years, the idea of being noble and martial is deep-rooted, Qin Kan is a talented person, and he is a hereditary national noble, and he is a powerful minister of the government and the opposition, if Mao Cheng doesn't want to be killed by thieves on the way home in the future, he can't help but be polite to Grandpa Qin, but he is not so polite to Jiang Bin.
Jiang Bin didn't care if Mao Cheng was polite to him, he was a military general of Xuanfu, and a military general did not follow an unusual path.
The path Jiang Bin chose was not to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, but another shortcut.
He bet his chips on a woman.
Qin Kan has seen that woman, it is indeed a charming posture, and later sent someone to check, this woman's surname is Wang, she is the daughter of Wang Jianzhi of Shunde Mansion, her identity is indeed true, and she is indeed qualified to be elected to the palace, but the Jinyi Wei scout also inquired more about the deeds of this Wang.
Whether it is an innocent daughter does not know for the time being, this is naturally checked by the female officials in the palace, but Wang is very famous in Shunde Mansion, when he was six years old, he instructed the nursing home to beat the old servants of the family to death because of trivial matters, and when he went to the private school at home, he smashed his head with an inkstone because of a quarrel with Mr. Xixi, Mr. was angry, and called his classmates to her father for justice, Wang actually looked delicate and falsely accused Mr. of wanting to be inferior to her, which ruined Mr. Xixi's reputation, and after returning home, a rope was built on the beam, and he took the old road of the predecessor of Grandpa Qin......
Just these two incidents, we can see how vicious the Wang family is, if such a woman becomes Zhu Houzhao's pillow person, the disaster will be no less than Liu Jin's chaotic government.
I really don't know what kind of shit luck Jiang Bin had, but he found such a stunning and vicious woman.
…………
An inconspicuous carriage stopped leisurely in front of Cheng'an Gate, Wang walked out of the carriage, still that soft and weak appearance, as if a gust of wind could blow away, and like a frightened little rabbit, biting her lower lip timidly looking around the chattering women, helpless eyes with a little shyness, a little helpless, her appearance on the stage, immediately attracted the attention of countless people.
Qin Kan looked at her expressionlessly, if he hadn't sent someone to find out her details, I was afraid that even he would be drunk to death in her helpless gaze, it was certain that Zhu Houzhao, who had never seen the world, would definitely fall in love at first sight if he saw her, and then the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty would wait for the harem to jump and the blood flowed like a river.
"You must not let her meet Zhu Houzhao!"
Qin Kan quietly clenched his fists and secretly made a decision.
