Chapter 174

The new emperor's accession to the throne is a major event for the ministers of the outer court, crises and opportunities coexist, at this sensitive time, everyone will have a little apprehension, and everyone will have some expectations.

At the time of the change of day, it was a time to fish in troubled waters, and at this time, some people wanted to try their best to keep their positions, and some people wanted to take the opportunity to take the position.

For the nobles, no matter who the Zhu family ascends the throne, their pressure is not great, the glory of the hereditary lord will not be deprived, and the position in the Beijing camp will not be moved, so the nobles including the British Duke Zhang Mao and the Duke of Dingguo Xu Guangzuo are as stable as Mount Tai, just as Zhang Mao and Xu Guangzuo planned to play chess in the Xishan Pavilion, the only thing to do is to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight.

For the ministers, the emperor's deathbed edict listed the three scholars in the cabinet as ministers of care, so on the whole, the situation in the outer court will not be much worse, with the three bachelors in front, and the six yamen in the back will naturally not be any worse; And judging from the recent performance of the new emperor, it seems that he also has great respect for the three scholars, and the three scholars have participated in all the activities that the new emperor has asked the new emperor to participate in, and several personnel appointments proposed by Li Dongyang have also been approved, and it seems that everything is under control.

In contrast to the frankness of the civil servants and nobles of the outer court, the atmosphere in the inner court was dull and tense, like a wooden barrel filled with gunpowder, and everyone knew that the slightest spark would cause a big explosion.

Liu Jin and the others who served in the East Palace are now very different in their identities, as the closest people around the new emperor, how can these people be willing to be the emperor's close attendants for a lifetime, and as eunuchs, the only official position they can obtain can only be the official position of the inner court.

The 24 yamen of the internal affairs government is headed by the celebrant eunuch, needless to say, the celebrant is the highest yamen of the internal affairs government, and the eunuch of the celebrant has the same power as the head of the cabinet to wear red, and can even directly intervene in the government, and the rest of the internal eunuchs such as the East Arrest Factory and the Imperial Horse Supervisor are all powerful institutions, and some people want money and money; There is no doubt that these vital sectors are definitely the primary targets of contention.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that a big drama of power struggle in the inner court is about to begin. Someone with a heart secretly made a comparison, for the eunuch Wang Yue, the eunuch of the celebrant Zhangyin, the eunuch Fan Heng of Bingbi and the governor of Dongchang, and the eunuch Xu Zhi, the leader of the imperial horse eunuch, their advantages are deep-rooted, powerful and heavy, and it is easy to be pulled off the horse; On the contrary, Liu Jin and the others who challenged their position seemed to be at an absolute disadvantage, with no money, no people, no soldiers, and all of them were under the eyes and ears of Wang Yue, Fan Heng and others.

However, smart people naturally will not make comparisons with their inherent strength so simply, because Liu Jin, Zhang Yong and others hold the last trump card, which is the new emperor Zhu Houzhao. In any case, the power of the inner court comes from the emperor, and whichever side the emperor is inclined towards, the odds of winning will be directly raised to the point of no return, this is the confidence of Liu Jin and others, it is obvious that Zhengde is inclined to Liu Jin and others.

But the problem is that neither side has yet found a suitable opportunity to fight, and neither is a little jealous of the other's strength, and neither will make a rash move before there is a firm certainty; As the emperor, it is impossible for Zhu Houzhao to remove Wang Yue, Fan Heng, Xu Zhi and others from their positions for no reason, not because he has no right to do so, but because there is no reason.

The stalemate between the two sides was like a cockfight, like the dead silence before the big war, and when they met in the palace, they were still all smiling amicably, but both sides felt the murderous aura in each other's eyes; The two barrels of gunpowder were placed together, and it was almost the detonation of the last fuse.

Song Nan naturally took all this in his eyes, he had already obtained the waist card of the Jinyi Wei Han General, which was the only status symbol in the Jinyi Guard who could legally serve the emperor, and the number of times he entered and exited the palace, the smell of gunpowder in the palace could naturally be smelled.

But Song Nan doesn't plan to do anything deliberately, in this sensitive period, it is unwise to jump out by himself, jumping out on the cusp is tantamount to looking for death, the officials of the entire Ming Dynasty are afraid that they are staring at the inner court, no one has expressed their position, no one has made biased remarks, it seems that they are all indifferent, but Song Nan knows that someone has already begun to stand in line secretly.

Politics is a gamble, there are always some speculators who are willing to bet all on this gamble, winning is full of money, losing is a failure, Song Nan is undoubtedly also in line in his heart, he wants to bet on Liu Jin and Zhang Yong's side, because he can only bet on this side.

Fan Heng is the mastermind behind the poisoning of Song Nan, Song Nan has long been looking for an opportunity to avenge this arrow, how can he have expectations for him, if Wang Yue Fan Heng's side wins, then his future life will be even more sad, not to mention that Song Nan understands the bias of Zhengde, is he standing on the opposite side of Zhengde? It's a joke.

Song Nan, as always, carefully manages his one-acre three-point land in Zhengnanfang, sometimes enters the palace to accompany Zhengde to talk, play golf and tennis, and the relationship with Zhengde also needs to be managed, although Zhu Houzhao said that night that he regarded himself as a friend in private, but Song Nan would not believe such words, pampering Shengjiao is not far from death, Zhengde has proposed to promote Song Nan several times, Song Nan politely declined, he has no actual merit to be promoted, if he is promoted only by virtue of his relationship with Zhengde, it will cause others to be disgusted, will also make Zhengde despise himself.

Song Nan can see that Zhengde is a person in love, and his unintentional rescue has created the relationship with him now, but this relationship has not yet undergone a major test, and the best way to maintain this way is to leave a sense of freshness and mystery, waiting for an opportunity to sublimate this relationship.

The relationship between Song Nan and the little county lord has improved by leaps and bounds, and the two of them have been grinding for a long time, and they are a little unable to control it.

At noon one day in July, the people of the Song Mansion were taking a nap, and Song Nan and the little county lord who had almost been resident in the Song family secretly made love in the cool bamboo forest, and the two tossed on the grass for a while, until the little county lord was as red as fire, his eyes were foggy, and his mouth was dry.

"Song Lang, are you ...... You ......" The little county lord snorted coquettishly, leaning on Song Nan weakly, his hair wet on his forehead.

Song Nan stopped and chuckled, "What are my methods?" ”

The little county lord glanced at him and hooked Song Nan's neck and said, "Song Lang, it's not a way to go on like this, when can we be together?" ”

Song Nan said with a smile: "I want to too, but your grandfather and brother can't eat me when they see me, so I will ask someone to hire me, and I'm afraid I will also eat it behind closed doors." ”

The little county lord said in a low voice: "I can tell you, my brother told me that the Xu family has already discussed marriage with my grandfather, and the dowry will be given in a few days, if you are not in a hurry, I will be forced to marry Xu Yande, that old guy." ”

Song Nan exclaimed: "You agreed?" ”

The little county lord twisted his body and said, "How can I agree, but if you don't think of a way, it will really be over." ”

Song Nan was entangled in her soft body, but at this moment she was a little upset and said: "Your old man is too stubborn, but if they really want you to marry someone else, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people." ”

The little county lord smiled and said, "I have a way, I don't know if you dare." ”

Song Nan said: "What can you do?" ”

The little county lord leaned at the root of Song Nan's ear and said, "Let's take a risk?" Cook raw rice to mature rice......"

Song Nan was taken aback and hurriedly said, "This can't be done." ”

The little county lord said gloomily: "Why not? Don't you want to marry me soon? ”

Song Nan said: "Of course, I hope you and I can be consummated, but how can I use these three indiscriminate methods?" Didn't you teach your grandfather and your brother to misunderstand my Song Nan's character, thinking that I was really tricking you into losing your body and forcing them to accept me. ”

The little county lord bit his lower lip and said: "But other than that, I can't think of any way, I think that we have a fait accompli, and the marriage with the Dingguo Mansion will definitely be blown, although grandpa and brother will definitely be angry, but besides you, who can they marry me?" ”

Song Nan sighed and shook his head: "Although it is a good move, I can't do this, I have to let your grandfather and brother agree to the marriage, otherwise I will never do that." ”

The little county lord snorted and said, "Then I have to wait until the sun comes out in the west, don't I know them yet?" ”

Song Nan said: "No, this method is too indiscriminate, let's think of other ways as well." ”

The little county lord shrunk his head on Song Nan's neck and thought about it: "Okay, then let's wait for grandpa and brother to show mercy, God knows if there is such a day." ”

Song Nan just wanted to comfort a few words, but suddenly asked a strange fragrance at the end of his nose, and saw that the little county lord was playing with a beautiful small porcelain vase in his hand, and felt that the small porcelain vase was a little familiar, so he hurriedly asked, "What is this?" ”

The little county lord grinned and said, "Silly Langjun, you still come to ask me about your things?" ”

Song Nan's mind was confused for a while, and suddenly saw the little county lord stretch out his tongue and lick the mouth of the small porcelain bottle, and suddenly remembered that the porcelain bottle was the bottle of aphrodisiac used in the palace given to him by Zhang Yong, and he hid it in his arms and didn't dare to show it, and he didn't know when the little county lord touched it.

"County Lord, you can't take that medicine." Song Nan exclaimed.

The little county lord giggled, smacked the taste and pounced on it, and put it on Song Nan's mouth is a kiss, Song Nan felt the slightly sweet medicine handed over by the little county lord on the tip of his tongue flow down his mouth into his throat, and in just a moment, he felt that something was wrong with his body.

The little county lord gasped and said: "Song Lang, I took the initiative in this matter, you have to be a righteous gentleman, but I have to stay with you for a long time, and I can't let my grandfather marry me to the Xu family, ah...... What are you doing? ”

Song Nan didn't answer, he stretched out his hand and took off the little county lord's clothes, and the little county lord exclaimed: "Right here?" ”

Song Nan gritted his teeth and endured the tide of desire: "You asked for yourself, the sky is the quilt, the earth is the bed, and the bamboo forest breeze is not enough?" ”

Before the little county lord could speak, Song Nan picked up the little county lord's body and sat in his arms, his hands went straight to the point, the little county lord could no longer speak, and turned his head sideways to kiss Song Nan hotly.

I don't know when, I only felt that my lower body was cold, the thin pants in my skirt had been removed, and when I was shy, I felt that a hot thing had reached the place of shame, and just wanted to get up and dodge, Song Nan pinched her waist with both hands and pressed it down, the little county lord snorted, and the tears of pain were about to come out.

Song Nan didn't pity the jade, the desire in his mind was churning, he rushed left and right, the little county lord gritted his teeth and screamed, only to feel that the hot and swollen hot pain, after a while, the pain subsided, a strange feeling rose, and he didn't feel that his body shook several times.

Song Nan picked up her body and put it on the grass, and vigorously fought mercilessly, until she vented out, she suddenly realized that she was too rude, and hurriedly looked at the little county lord who was flushed and closed his eyes with a red tide on his face.

"Little Lord, what's wrong with you? I...... I'm so rude, how can you drug me? ”

The little county lord breathed a sigh of relief, slowly opened his eyes, and looked at Song Nan's eyes full of confusion: "It's so hot." ”

Song Nan smiled bitterly: "Is it just hot?" ”

The little county lord sighed again: "What a blissful thing, if I knew this, I would have drugged you a long time ago." ”

Song Nan almost fell headlong.
