Shi Mu is still there, Shi Zonghan's two children also have martial arts, he is not afraid that his stepwife will abuse the children, but the marriage of the eldest daughter, but he is quite nerve-wracking, pomegranate flowers in the countryside to grow up to the age of twelve before entering Beijing, a rustic atmosphere for a while and a half can not go, especially since childhood martial arts, so that she is stronger than the average girl, the voice is also thick, the right family, Wang's fancy, the other party does not look down on pomegranate flowers, and can look at pomegranate flowers, Wang is not satisfied, Shi Zonghan is far away in northern Xinjiang, and he does not know the bottom of the big households in Beijing, Wang's words are what he says, but his love for his daughters is fist-fighting, and when he calms down, he is inevitably a little melancholy.

Wang Zuo was originally Dong Jincai's tail, has always been Dong Jincai as the head and tail, Wang has been exposed to it since childhood, Dong Jincai is like a god and Buddha in her family, she never dreamed that there was a matchmaker, so that her family and the first minister of the capital Dong Jiacheng relatives, Wang happily did not sleep all night, wrote to her husband overnight to report the matter, at the same time, also gave the pomegranate flower post, to the matchmaker, let the Dong family take the eight characters.

Why did Dong Jin suddenly think of such a play? It was a staff member beside him, who recommended a great immortal - Daoist Chen, Daoist Chen's hair was white, claiming to have lived for three hundred years, the ancestors of the previous dynasty were born when they fought the world, and when the ancestors of the Jurong Dynasty fought the world, he was in retreat, otherwise he would definitely go out of the mountain to protect Emperor Gaozu.

"I came down the mountain this time, and I can only stay in the people for ten years."

Dong Jincai is not a fool, he believes what others bragged, but Daoist Chen stopped him with a word: "Do you know why the emperor is the son of heaven?" Not to mention the physiognomy, there is a red mole in the center of his feet, which was when his predecessor was helping Taishang Laojun to refine the pill in the sky, he accidentally stepped on the fire of the sky, he was the third son of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, and he couldn't stand the Taishang Laojun who called him as a person, and was played by the Taishang Laojun as the emperor of tomorrow and punished the world. ”

"Tribulation? That's still the emperor. ”

"He is the son of a dragon, not an emperor, what should he be? Everyman? Yawn! ”

Dong Jin asked people to go to Concubine Zheng Defei to verify the matter, and sure enough, the emperor had a red mole on the center of his foot, like a burn, bulging out a bag, but it was hard to the touch, and it was level with the skin. Dong Jincai immediately took a few questions about Daoist Chen, all of whom were told by the other party, he trusted Daoist Chen very much, Daoist Chen said that his son should find a general's daughter, he searched in the capital, and among the military attachés who were to marry his daughter, only Shi Zonghan's official was the largest.

Dong Jincai's eldest grandson was very dissatisfied, but he was a fool, he was helpless in front of his strong grandfather, Dong Jincai was used to covering the sky at home, only his wife's words could listen to a few words, Mrs. Dong was also very dissatisfied with the Shi family girl, but she believed in Daoist Chen, and the matter was quickly settled.

Emperor Yongchang was very sensitive to the marriage of Wenchen and military generals, there was Guo Gonggong before, now there is Lin Changshan, Dong Jincai and the Shi family have just made a marriage, and the emperor knows it.

"It's really unreasonable, this Dong Jin is becoming more and more ignorant." Emperor Yongchang was so angry that he smashed the teacup, he guarded against money like a fire, and the Shen family was like a thief, but he didn't have much defense against Dong Jincai, a fool, in the past two years, Dong Jincai formed a party for personal gain, excluded dissidents, and became more and more powerful in the court, Emperor Yongchang watched day by day, and there was no crisis in his heart. - Because Dong Jincai is stupid, Emperor Yongchang feels that he is sure to control him, but if Dong Jincai marries Shi Zonghan, he will not be at ease.

Just when Emperor Yongchang was trying to find a way to deal with this matter, this morning, Zhang Lan entered the court with white hair.

Zhang Lan's hair has long had white hair, but the day before it was still black and white, showing a dull dark gray, and overnight, the exposed part under the official hat became silvery-white, how could this not attract the attention of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military?

At the end of the early dynasty, Emperor Yongchang left Zhang Lan, he and the prince were in front, Zhang Lan bowed his head and followed behind, the three of them entered the upper study, the emperor sat down, and put on a very concerned look: "Zhang Aiqing, are you sick?" Do you want to pass on the Imperial Doctor? ”

"Thank you for your grace. Alas, Weichen, Weichen's family affairs bothered the emperor. ”

"What's the housework?" The prince was young, so he couldn't help but be curious and asked.

"The marriage of the little granddaughter, the emperor, when the dog was killed, the queen mother took pity on the little granddaughter and gave her the title of a township king, and Weichen also took pity on her for having no parents since she was a child, and she was too arrogant, so that she was in trouble today." Zhang Lan lowered his head gloomily, suddenly remembered that he was facing the emperor, and quickly kowtowed to excuse himself.

Emperor Yongchang is a benevolent monarch, how can he watch a loyal minister lose his hair for this trivial matter? With a wave of his hand, he not only forgave Zhang Lan, but also said kindly: "Whose son?" If you dare not agree, I will give you a marriage. ”

Before Zhang Lan could stand up, when he heard this, he fell to his knees with a puff: "Long live Xie, long live it." ”

"Who's the son?" The prince asked, "Mr. Zhang is my master, how can you hide this from me?" ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen's granddaughter met Qian Chaoyang, the eldest son of the King of the South China Sea, and now, Feiqing does not marry, but the King of the South China Sea does not agree to this matter, Weichen's granddaughter is going to cut her hair last night and send home, Weichen has been worried all night, and I don't know how to solve it."

Emperor Yongchang listened to Zhang Lan's rambling and said a lot, and his face was a little unsightly, but he said that he wanted to give Zhang Lan's granddaughter a marriage, and now he can't regret it - the prince is watching there, and now, the prince follows him every day, learning how to deal with state affairs, how can he have the face to let his son see that his words don't count?

Besides, the emperor suspected that the crown prince and Zhang Lan were deliberately acting, and he was tricked now, and he could only use other methods to redeem it, and it was impossible to break his word and get fat.

"Spread my will-" Emperor Yongchang gritted his teeth and gave Jin Jin and Miss Zhang a marriage, and then, under the pretext that he was very tired, drove the prince and Zhang Lan away.

After lunch, Emperor Yongchang rested for a while, and after an hour, he got up to deal with state affairs, and sent countless twists and turns to the palace every day, most of which were handed over to the cabinet for processing, and a small part had to be decided by him personally.

The first is Shen Mingzhao, who is really sick and asks to resign from his position as a cabinet scholar and return to his hometown to recuperate.

"Accurate!" Emperor Yongchang vented his anger towards Qian Jun on Shen Mingzhao.

Shen Mingyun was unwilling to let the treasury burden too heavy, and proposed to change the poll tax to the mu tax, reducing the tax-free privileges of the nobles and scholars, and he calculated an account for the emperor, if it can be implemented, if it can be implemented, if it can be carried out for three years, if the state does not pay taxes for three years, the seawall can be repaired, and the ministry will not pay a penny.

This proposal Yongchang Emperor was very tempted, but he knew that it was very difficult to implement, peace lasted for a long time, land annexation was powerful, and the family with meritorious names and titles, because of tax exemption, was even more like a tiger, a family with thousands of tons of land is very common, the poor people have to lease the land of these large families to cultivate, hard for a year, most of them pay rent, less than half pay taxes, often only the chaff of the grain is left, they have to rely on these to add some wild vegetables to survive, the reason why the Yuanshen Sect quickly has hundreds of thousands of followers in just a few years, It's all about these poor people living in despair.

However, the ruling base of the Jurong Dynasty was the rich gentry, and if they were to be attacked now, it would be tantamount to self-destruction of the Great Wall, and it would definitely cause turmoil. But if the poor people are left without food and clothing, the fortune of this great glory will not last long.

"Spread the King of the South China Sea, Qian Jun." Emperor Yongchang said to the inner servant, at a critical time, he knew that Dong Jincai's idea was unreliable, Shen Mingzhao was sick, so he could only rely on Qian Jun, at this moment, Emperor Yongchang was secretly glad that he was able to return to Beijing thanks to Qian Jun.

Qian Jun had just received the order to marry his son, and he was bringing his son to the palace to thank him, so the eunuch who gave the message to Emperor Yongchang just ran into him when he went out, and he immediately turned around and sent a message to the emperor: "The king of the South China Sea brought his son to thank him." ”

"Biography!" Emperor Yongchang hurriedly said.

Qian Jun and his son kowtowed to the emperor, tried their best to praise Emperor Yongchang, and made the emperor's mood slightly better.

In the South China Sea in the past ten years, Jin Jin did not fall behind whether he practiced martial arts or studied, during which Qian Jun also asked him to follow the caravan and went to a lot of places, it can be said that the knowledge and experience in the books are not lacking, Emperor Yongchang took the exam for a while, and he felt very satisfied, so he smiled and said: "You are also a child of our Qian family, this Jurong Dynasty is safe, and you also have a share, send you an errand." ”

"Thank you for your appreciation, Qian Chaoyang must have done his best to die and live up to the emperor's kindness."

"Well, yes, how about you go to the military department?"

"Obey the order!"

The emperor asked people to write a will, he used the seal, handed it to Jin Jin, and asked him to step down, so he gave Shen Mingyun's recital to Qian Jun.

Qian Jun took a cursory look at it, and secretly speculated in his heart about the emperor's intentions, he showed this to himself, he must have been moved by the second uncle's proposal, but he also knew that this matter was difficult to do, and probably wanted to send himself to assist the second uncle.

"Does the King of the South Sea think that this matter can be implemented?"

"It is very difficult, but it cannot be said that it cannot be implemented, if it can be implemented, it will be of great benefit to the imperial court."

"Well, I also have this intention, but Lord Shen has been in Jiangnan for too long, and his friends and old bureaucrats are going to offend him all over this time, and I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on."

"Yes, strangers are easy to say, the key is family, relatives and friends."

"I intend to transfer Lord Shen to the cabinet and take over his brother's position as a bachelor, what do you think?"

Qian Jun was surprised: "This, both of them are my uncles, I naturally think that they are too good to be better, and I also think that the emperor's arrangement is very proper, but my opinions are not counted, I have to avoid it, the emperor, you can't ask me this question." "It's okay, I know you, you always put state affairs in front of family affection, and you don't avoid relatives." Qian Jun immediately put on a grateful look, Emperor Yongchang saw it, his heart was very comfortable, he continued to ask: "But tell me, who will preside over the two provinces in the south of the Yangtze River?" ”
