October 12.

There is a news in Beijing, saying that the holy car and his party have arrived in Zhigu on the sixth day of October, that is, Tianjin Sanwei, to the middle of the Ming Dynasty Tianjin has developed into a key pass, the north and south trade hub, passengers and goods gathered.

After the emperor entered the Tianjin Acropolis, there was no movement.

It stands to reason that from Tianjin to Beijing, even if you walk, you can come back in three or four days, but the emperor has not returned for a long time, which makes people feel that the emperor wants to have a good time in Tianjin.

Until the end of October, the capital was still calm, and there was no movement in sight.

On October 27, Su Xigui came to see Zhu Hao in a hurry and informed the emperor that Luan had arrived in Tongzhou, and it seemed that he would arrive in the capital in a day or two.

"Not so fast."

In front of Su Xigui, Zhu Hao spoke bluntly.

Su Xigui asked puzzledly: "Tongzhou and Jingshi are only a few dozen miles, why didn't Your Majesty return to Jingshi after arriving in Tongzhou City?" ”

Zhu Hao said: "The matter of King Ning's rebellion has not been completely resolved. ”

"Oh?"

Su Xigui was puzzled.

He was in the capital, keeping an eye on King Ning's case, concerned about who would be implicated among the Chinese martial arts members of the dynasty, at least at this moment, the imperial court did not have any sign of completely liquidating the guilty subjects.

……

……

After Zhu Hao learned the news, he went to see Lou Suzhen.

Lou Suzhen asked with concern: "Are King Ning and his family also in the army?" ”

Zhu Hao nodded.

Historically, King Ning was on the sixth day of the first month of the fifteenth year of Zhengde, Zhu Houzhao ordered him to commit suicide in Tongzhou, burning his body and scattering ashes, which shows that the emperor was still merciful, and did not cut it with a thousand knives, and the rebellion was arrested for a year and a half before he died and the country was destroyed.

Lou Suzhen said anxiously: "But I don't know how the imperial court will deal with people related to King Ning's case, such as my Lou family......"

Lou Suzhen is very wise, knowing that her husband and several children will definitely not be able to keep it, so she can only try her best to avoid the Lou family being involved, but because the interests of the Lou family and Ning Wangfu are deeply bound, it is difficult not to be implicated.

"Mr. wrote to me before, the car has passed Ruzhou, calculate the days, they should return to Anlu."

Zhu Hao found that Lou Suzhen didn't mention Tang Yin at all, so he took the initiative to guide the topic.

said that Lou Suzhen found the next goal in life and encouraged Tang Yin to serve the country and the people well, but the relationship between the two is still too estranged, and it is not easy to match the two.

"Hmm."

Regarding Tang Yin's news, Lou Suzhen just nodded, and her mind estimated that she had already flown to Tongzhou.

Zhu Hao said: "If my expectations are correct, the ministers in the capital who used to communicate with King Ning will be imprisoned together, and even Lu Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials will be in trouble." ”

Lou Suzhen shook her head again and again: "As far as I know, Lu Shangshu doesn't have much contact with King Ning, if he only helps King Ning restore the guard, it will be a loss for the Ming Dynasty to clear a capable minister in the court." ”

"Really?"

Zhu Hao smiled.

Let's not talk about how much Lou Suzhen knows about King Ning's rebellion, even if she really knows, she will truthfully confess to herself?

But Lou Suzhen still has a sense of respect for a top civil servant like Lu Wan who has made meritorious contributions to the Ming Dynasty, and may not want her husband's rebellion to implicate too many people, after all, the more people involved, the more unstable the Ming Dynasty will be, and the guilt in Lou Suzhen's heart will be stronger.

……

……

The first day of November.

The "messenger" sent by the Zhu family, that is, Zhu Hao's fourth uncle Zhu Wanquan, went around and finally saw his nephew who was in Jingshi Shenlong.

The place where the two met was very special, it was Su Xigui's newly purchased courtyard, and there were many nursing homes inside and outside, which was originally used as a place for Su Xigui's gold house to hide Jiao, but now Jiao has no Jiao, so let Zhu Hao use it first.

Su Xigui followed, but did not enter the courtyard where the guests were entertained.

Zhu Wanquan was very curious about the layout of the courtyard and asked, "This is where you usually live?" ”

Zhu Hao shook his head and said, "No, this is a friend's residence, come here temporarily to enjoy the scenery." ”

Zhu Wanquan believed it or not, he didn't care much about this, and said directly: "The family is arranging the marriage for you, and now Lu Shangshu, the official of the central government, has a granddaughter, who is one year older than you, knowledgeable and courteous, gentle and virtuous, your grandmother is full of praise after seeing the portrait, thinking that this is the basis for helping you achieve great things." ”

"Hehe......"

When Zhu Hao heard this, he laughed without any scruples.

Zhu Wanquan originally wanted to wait for Zhu Hao to finish laughing, he thought it was a happy laugh, but when he got to the back, he found that something was wrong.

"Zhu Hao, what are you laughing at?"

Zhu Wanquan frowned slightly.

Zhu Hao smiled: "Fourth uncle, this marriage has not been decided, right?" ”

"Not yet."

Zhu Wanquan said, "If you marry with the ministry and the government, you still have to see each other after all." ”

Zhu Hao smiled and waved his hand: "Don't worry about it at home, I guess you will be embarrassed to tell me about it in a few days......"

"Why is that?"

Zhu Wanquan was puzzled.

Zhu Hao said: "The holy driver and his entourage have now arrived in Tongzhou, the Zhu family won't be unaware, right?" His Majesty is stranded in Tongzhou and does not return, that is, to investigate the criminal ministers who communicated with King Ning, Lu Shangshu was rumored to be involved half a year ago, and it is estimated that there will be results in the next few days......"

Zhu Wanquan shook his head and said: "Zhu Hao, now that the matter of King Ning's rebellion has passed in time, and it has not been investigated in the past few months, why are you turning over the old accounts now?" You don't have to worry about ......."

Zhu Hao got up and said, "Then if I don't agree, will the Zhu family no longer discuss this marriage?" ”

"You ......"

Zhu Wanquan didn't expect Zhu Hao's attitude to be so tough.

But now Zhu Hao's face is extremely serious, he is a tribute, his social status is higher than that of him Zhu Wanquan, and the relationship between the uncle and nephew is more on paper, and the relationship between the two is not very deep, Zhu Wanquan is embarrassed to regard himself as an elder in front of Zhu Hao.

"Zhu Hao, even if you don't agree, you know your grandmother's character, and you will directly discuss with your mother and force your mother to agree." Zhu Wanquan said.

Zhu Hao spread his hands: "Whatever." ”

sent a letter from the capital to force Zhu Niang to agree, and it would take more than a month for the news to come and go, which was quite fast, and Lu Wan would have been arrested and imprisoned by then, even if Zhu Jia's family wanted to pit his grandson, he would have no chance.

Could it be that the Zhu family went to the cell to discuss with Lu Wan, do you want to marry your granddaughter to my grandson?

You see that my grandson Huiyuan was born, and you were a scholar before you went to prison, although your daughter will be assigned to the teaching workshop division in the future, that is also a good family......

……

……

Zhu Wanquan was deflated by Zhu Hao and left with a disgraced face.

Zhu Hao did not go out to see off the guests, but came to the inner courtyard.

Su Xigui is directing the repair of the yard.

Zhu Hao asked, "Lord Su, you don't really plan to raise a few women here, do you?" I think this place is quite elegant, I wonder if you will live here in the future? ”

Su Xigui smiled and said: "The little master smiled, the ambition of the golden house to hide Jiao is the contemptible person when he didn't have much silver, and what he wanted at that time was to treat me with a lot of money, why should Zhong Lingyuxiu's beautiful beauties hide a bunch of them?" When I got to this day, I found that I was not so interested in it for a long time. ”

Zhu Hao smiled: "This is to force yourself to make money with unrealistic ideals, but when you are really rich, you find that you are still more comfortable with a leisurely life, right?" ”

"Busy, too busy."

Su Xigui shook his head and sighed, "Because I'm too busy, I really can't take care of anything else, who would think that I make more money?" ”

The two of them went to the gazebo and sat down.

Su Xigui introduced the layout of the courtyard to Zhu Hao, and finally concluded: "...... You also know that I am a real person in Yangzhou Yi, I like the layout of the Jiangnan garden, and it is being renovated in accordance with the Jiangnan garden style. ”

Zhu Hao said: "The pavilions and water pavilions in the south of the Yangtze River, the blue lotus sky, is caused by the abundant water source, and the north is dry and dry, I'm afraid it's not easy to get living water, right?" ”

"Yes, it's hard to keep the water here, you see it's winter, and the springs are dry!" Su Xigui pointed to the dry pool on the side, turned around and asked, "I don't know what the Zhu family is looking for you, what are they going to do?" ”

Zhu Hao arranged for the Zhu family to give him and told him about the marriage with Lu Wan.

Su Xigui said with a smile: "The official department is still a scholar, and he is married to the family of Jinyi Wei Thousand Households, and the little master is still a tribute, so it is also a good match." ”

Zhu Hao said: "That was before...... In a few days, Lu Shangshu will be in prison. ”

"So fast?"

Su Xigui was surprised, "I haven't gotten any news here!" ”

Zhu Haobian flattened his mouth: "Just the events of the past two days, if you don't believe it, let's see." ”

Su Xigui nodded, he didn't take it too seriously, but he still remembered the matter.

……

……

Three days later, Su Xigui hurriedly visited Zhu Hao and informed him that Lu Wan was arrested by Jinyiwei and taken to Tongzhou, Shangshu's mansion was raided, and his wife, daughter, and children were all locked up in prison.

“…… His mother, Mrs. Lu, was ninety years old, but she was still in prison. Su Xigui said this, sighing.

Zhu Hao asked: "The turmoil between the DPRK and China should not be small this time, right?" ”

Su Xigui nodded and looked at Zhu Hao with admiration: "The little master is really like a god." How did you guess all this? ”

Zhu Hao thought to himself, will I tell you that in fact, this is all I know from history?

"The holy driver stayed in Tongzhou and did not return to Beijing, obviously someone did not want the holy driver to return to Beijing, and wanted His Majesty Xixun to ......" Zhu Hao analyzed.

Su Xigui suddenly said: "Uncle Ping." ”

Zhu Hao said: "And the Chinese courtiers of the court, I hope that His Majesty can return to the capital as soon as possible, and now they are in the game." The confrontation between the two sides, starting with the case of King Ning, who is still alive now, is obviously used as a bargaining chip by some people, wanting to completely muddy the pool of water within the Jingshi civil official group. ”

Su Xigui was extremely shocked: "Could it be that the case is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more officials are finally involved?" ”

According to Zhu Hao's analysis, Jiang Bin wanted to punish the Chinese courtiers for the crime of communicating with King Ning, so he would not simply deal with a Lu Wan.

Zhu Hao smiled and said, "Then it depends on how many people Lu Shangshu is involved in after he is beaten, and it also depends on how the civil officials fight back." ”

"Oh......"

Su Xigui fell into deep thought.

If it was a normal situation, Jiang Bin would take the crime of King Ning to fight with the civil officials, and the civil officials would be very passive, because of the matter of King Ning's restoration of the guard, many people in the court and the central government have made great efforts, and even Yang Tinghe and his henchmen dare not guarantee their innocence.

But now the situation is very different.

Once the emperor is tempted, Jiang Bin finds himself going to the capital controlled by civil forces with the saint, then he will not dare to expand the case, and may limit the crime of King Ning to a few "first offenders".

But no matter what you say, Lu Wan is in a catastrophe.
