It is no exaggeration to say that this is the brightest spring in the past ten years, after the end of the party's rule after the eunuch party, the rule of the Ming Dynasty has improved slightly, and the loyal ministers and good generals with Qian Qianyi and Yuan Chonghuan have mastered the power, plus Liu Ziguang, a victorious general like Liu Ziguang, the Ming Zhongxing is just around the corner, and the spy activities of the two factories and one guard are much milder than before, and the state affairs can be talked about in the teahouse and restaurant, and the officials do not have to worry about being taken away by Fanzi in the middle of the night, and even the price of luxury goods such as tobacco shipped from Shanghai has dropped a lot.

Before the Spring Festival, the imperial court opened a knife and beheaded a group of people, the former ceremonial eunuch and the nine-thousand-year-old Huang Jinrong, such as Cui Chengxiu and other eunuchs as the supplement, mixed with the Hongze County cadres who had bullied the imperial concubine's mother and daughter, as well as the corrupt Jiangnan weaving made Cao Yin, some of these people Ling Chi, some of them chopped vegetables, and the entrance of the market was killed for more than ten days before they were killed, and since then the remnants of the eunuch party have been wiped out.

The punishment of the Hou Party is relatively mild, most of them are exiled and confiscated their family property, and the queen mother in the cold palace is still alive, it's not that Zhu Youxiao is reluctant to kill her, it's just that she is afraid that the royal majesty will be damaged, anyway, the Empress Dowager Li adds a trace amount of poison to her meals every day, and she will die in less than a year, and no one can say that the emperor is not.

After the death of the Empress Dowager Li, the position of the Empress Dowager naturally fell to the emperor's biological mother, the Nangong Imperial Concubine, after entering the palace, the Nangong Concubine was promoted to the title of the Imperial Concubine first, and she was only one step away from the Empress Dowager, Nangong Concubine was kind and indisputable, and the temper of the Empress Dowager Li was completely different, plus the queen was only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, so the concubines who were suppressed by the Empress Dowager Li before began to be unwilling to be lonely.

Concubine Song is the most typical one, her mother's family itself is not very powerful, but there is a cousin, it is a cabinet to make money and Qianyi's main house, Mrs. has this relationship, even the current master of ceremonies Wei Gonggong has to look up to her, Song Taifei is very good at business, since the fall of Empress Dowager Li, she began to manage her own network, and the concubine of the Nangong Palace announced to the Duke of Wei to strengthen contact with her cousins outside the palace, and a group of eunuchs and palace maids were summoned by her to go to the gossip or something, it stands to reason that this long-dormant concubine Niangnong, these things are understandable, in addition to these things can make them interested, what else can there be。

Concubine Song soon found one of the most challenging things, that is, to say for the eldest princess of the dynasty, the matchmaker princess is the sister of the emperor's relatives, she suffered from her own snack, and she was wronged by the people, and the emperor loved this sister very much, and the configuration of the guards, eunuchs, and palace maids was standard, higher than the queen, and what she wanted.

Do whatever you want, some time ago, the eldest princess went to the south of the Yangtze River to play, and it was a month, which was impossible for any princess in the past, and according to the internal information of Dongchang, the fall of the two high-ranking officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate last time seemed to be somewhat involved with the eldest princess, anyway, who provoked the eldest princess, there must be no good fruit to eat, and if anyone climbs the line of the eldest princess, it will soar.

It is the duty of women to engage in and pro-insurance media, and it is the duty of women, if it is a political marriage, it will be more interesting to take this matter, Concubine Song, who originally moved this idea, and Mrs. Qian, who came to the palace to inquire about the news, hit it off, and the sisters discussed and gave the eldest princess's husband a candidate, not someone else, it is the first talent in Jiangnan today, Hou Fangyu, Hou Fangyu, and the relationship between the Qian family is extraordinary, and his own resources are also very rich, the imperial concubine, or these people outside should be grateful to her for the kindness of Concubine Song.

As for the scandal between the eldest princess and the minister of the guard, Concubine Song, who has many ears and eyes, naturally knows about it, but she is not optimistic about this relationship, Liu Ziguang is a married man, not to mention it, even if he is not married, there are such hard shortcomings as low background and no culture, don't look at the fact that now the emperor has given him the birth of a jinshi, and the title of a scholar of Wuyingdian still can't change the fact that he was born a slave, and Concubine Song has experienced so many ups and downs, and even Mu Xiu is in the forest, the wind will destroy it, Liu Ziguang is only in his twenties, so he will not end well in the future, not to mention that he has already aroused the suspicion of Gonggong Wei and the Donglin Party, if this momentum continues, it is expected to arouse the suspicion of the emperor。

Although Liu Ziguang is powerful and powerful, Concubine Song is not very jealous of him, because Liu Ziguang is only in charge of the security work outside the palace, and cannot manage all kinds of matters inside the palace, as an old man who eats in the deep palace, Concubine Song knows that she should rely on Wei Zhongxian, the chief eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor, and she handles this very well, Wei Zhongxian is also a concubine who is good at enveloping, and the concubine Niangniang also attaches great importance to it, after all, one more ally is not a disadvantage.

Supporting Hou Fangyu to be a concubine is a big project of the Donglin Party, in order to enable the young generation of the Donglin system to quickly gather strength and compete with the equally young Liu Ziguang, after all, the old Donglin is not young, so this project must succeed and not fail.

When the Donglin party was busy with the affairs of the horses, Liu Ziguang was not idle, he was not the minister of the guard, but he was not given for nothing, and there were many eyes and ears in the palace, Mrs. Qian met with Concubine Song at what time and place, and everything the two said had a detailed record, and reported to Liu Ziguang's public case, what these people had to think, Liu Ziguang was clear, but he didn't have a good way to deal with this matter, did he run to tell the emperor: Your sister and I are in love, and you let the eldest princess marry me as a concubine.

Isn't that looking for death, the only operational way at present is to attack Hou Fangyu and let the emperor's family know that this new champion is not a good bird.

It is not difficult to stop this marriage, it is rare, how to let the eldest princess marry him, this is a big project, Liu Ziguang is not a fool, such an excellent political resource, of course, will not give up, not to mention that there is indeed a true relationship between him and the eldest princess, last spring, in the twilight full of peach blossoms, Liu Ziguang made a promise to Zhu Cheng for the first time, and when he went out to fight in the Taiwan Strait, he made a promise to the princess again, if he was still as dishonest as the first time, Liu Ziguang himself felt shameless.

The eldest princess has no doubt about her affection, but the opinions of the imperial concubine and the emperor are also very important, if Zhu Cheng is a girl from an ordinary family, it will be forgotten, but she is the royal noble, the most noble unmarried woman in the world, Liu Ziguang is only a courtier of the Zhu family, no matter how powerful Liu Ziguang is, he is only a courtier of the Zhu family, and he is a courtier who has already been married, so this matter is extremely difficult to do, Liu Ziguang has not come up with a decent way until now, and a resourceful person like Peng Jingrong can't think of a good countermeasure, the only feasible thing is to let Liu Ziguang leave himself with a letter of resignation, and then marry the eldest princess as a second-married man, this method was vetoed by Liu Ziguang, he has not done that part, and he can't be hurt because he doesn't hurt Zhu ChengPeng Jingrong just got married for a few months and took a break, how can she still have a face to see people.

Liu Ziguang's worries are the same as Nangong Imperial Concubine's thoughts, knowing that the daughter Mo Ruo's mother is not the imperial concubine, how could the imperial concubine not know her daughter's thoughts, she was indeed planning to marry her daughter to Liu Ziguang, but the opportunity was delayed back and forth, Liu Ziguang actually got married, speaking of which, the Nangong Imperial Concubine complained a little bit about Liu Ziguang, who complained that he had caused his daughter to be soulless all day long, and he didn't think about tea and dinner.

Therefore, when the Song concubine came to offer the treasure with a few poems of the new champion Hou Fangyu, the imperial concubine was on her mind, which mother does not want her daughter to marry a wishful husband, Liu Ziguang is good, but there is no play, among the other candidates, Hou Fangyu is indeed the most suitable person, he is the son of the Ministry of Rites, the family is rigorous, knowledgeable, and the new branch champion, talented, not too old, in his early twenties, it is simply a princess tailor-made for the princess, the princess is very satisfied, and decided to pass on the decree to let the little marquis enter the palace to see each other at a time, how this person looks, how he looks, and then depends on the temperament and speech, if they are all satisfied, you might as well say to the emperor that it is good to determine this family affairCut off her daughter's crankiness.

Around the marriage of the eldest princess, an open and secret battle began, Liu Ziguang first asked Wucheng Soldiers and Horses to arrest Concubine Song's own nephew, and casually found some charges for him, anyway, the buttocks of these eunuchs are not clean, of course, this is just a small deterrent, showing his protest against Concubine Song, of course, this person was quickly fished out by Qian Qianyi, but Liu Ziguang's anger has been successfully conveyed in the past.

Qian Qianyi was unmoved, on the contrary, Liu Ziguang's actions gave him confidence

"It's a sign of lust." Qian Qianyi said to Hou Xun like this, Hou Xun also thought deeply, the water in the capital was deep, not only he, Liu Ziguang's family was dominant, there were more than 100,000 Beijing troops, Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and various departments of the imperial court, Liu Ziguang's tentacles did not extend so long, and the matter involved the royal family, who was afraid of him, Liu Ziguang, the candidate for the concubine summoned by the queen mother, did he still have the courage not to let him enter the palace?
