"My daughter has long said that as long as our Chen family keeps to itself and does more things that benefit the country and the people, the court can see it."

When Chen Jingxing, a Bo of Gu'an, entered the palace because he had just been ordered by Zhu Yijun to benefit three hundred and Yin Zhu's princes and lords and said that he knew about it with the Empress Dowager Chen, the Empress Dowager Chen also told her father Chen Jingxing, and asked with a smile: "Father, do you believe it now?" ”

Chen Jingxing nodded: "Yes, I believe it, Your Majesty is really benevolent and filial, although he has a biological mother, he has indeed not forgotten your mother-in-law, so that we also follow En Xifu." ”

"The emperor is the son of benevolence and filial piety, and the ministers used are all ministers, father, you have to strictly manage the children of the Chen family, as long as you do it well, the court will see it. But don't do anything wrong, you must know that even the Li family has been severely punished because of a mistake, and if the Chen family is like this in the future, it will not be taken care of more than the Li family. ”

Empress Dowager Chen said.

Chen Jingxing said yes.

Empress Dowager Li also knew about the Chen family's reward, so she called her younger brother Li Jin.

Although Li Jin is the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Li, because the life of the Li family was too hard when the Li family was not yet developed, he was unwilling to work as a mason, so he couldn't stand being castrated into the palace, and finally served by the side of the Empress Dowager Li, and now because he is still Zhu Yijun's uncle, he has been promoted to the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch.

This is also a very special one among the uncles of the Ming Dynasty, who is both the emperor's slave and the emperor's uncle.

And because Li Jin has stayed by Empress Li's side since he entered the palace, he has been closely controlled by Empress Li, but he is not like a few brothers outside who bend the law and do not know how to do it, and there are no significant evil deeds in history.

Now, Empress Dowager Li called him over, and Li Jin still said very respectfully: "Niangniang." ”

"In private, let's call each other sister and brother."

Empress Dowager Li said.

Li Jin said yes.

Empress Dowager Li then said: "You must also know that the Chen family has been rewarded. ”

"Got it."

Li Jindao.

Empress Dowager Li said again: "It's not good for our Li family to fall!" Nowadays, the court officials are clear and clear, and the more they are in peace, the more noble they are, and the more they don't know how to measure, the easier they are to suffer, and Rao is relatives of the emperor are no exception. You pass on my meaning to the Li family disciples outside, especially Wen Quan, who is in charge of the army. Don't really let those people from the outside world get closer to the Chen family, and give her a good reputation! ”

"Yes!"

Li Jin agreed, and he naturally understood who his sister was talking about "she".

As for Li Wenquan, the eldest brother of the Empress Dowager Li and uncle Zhu Yijun, soon after he was assigned to Jizhou, he was recognized by Xu Fan, who had been in the army here for many days.

After all, they were all the children of powerful people who drank flower wine together in the past.

Xu Fan, who was already covered in tendons and a lot of blackened, came over first and shouted: "Uncle Guo, Uncle Guo, why are you here to join the army?" ”

Li Wenquan ignored Xu Fan.

And Xu Fan said: "This world is becoming more and more abnormal, and it is just that I, the former son of the first assistant, have been confiscated into the army, but I didn't expect that you will also be confiscated in the army, Uncle Guo, is it not surnamed Zhang in this world?" ”

"Not really!"

Li Wenquan replied and asked, "How did Ling Zun cultivate such a student?" ”

"My father regrets it now."

Xu Fan said: "Uncle Guo, stay up, just wait until your emperor's nephew is in power." ”

"However, you don't know, this day of the army is not good, Zhang Jiangling gave all the money he looted to Tan Zili to repair the border wall with new soldiers, so that the people who are now charging the army have to move bricks every day!"

"The bricks on this side of the wall are big and heavy and difficult to move, not to mention, the key is that it is as cold as ice in winter and hot as fire in summer, so people don't want to touch it."

"After all, Uncle Guo is a relative of the emperor, so there is no need to arrange a job for him. Shackle him away, just don't let him escape, and send someone to follow him. ”

Qi Jiguang came over at this time and gave an order to his general.

As a result, Li Wenquan was not arranged to move bricks.

Xu Fan listened to it for a long time and didn't come to his senses.

Li Wenquan didn't appreciate Qi Jiguang's affection, he just looked around, and at a glance, he saw that a section of the wall behind Xu Fan was wrong, and walked over to take a few looks, and gave a thumbs up: "It's not right!" Wrong! This wall is crooked! ”

Seeing this, Qi Jiguang came over and asked, "Why did Uncle Guo say that?" ”

"This is crooked!"

"I can tell how many generations of masons are in my family!"

As Li Wenquan spoke, he raised the thumb of his right hand again, made a gesture of approval, and said to Qi Jiguang: "See for yourself!" ”

Then, when Qi Jiguang came to see, Li Wenquan said: "Qi Yuanjing, how did you spend my emperor's nephew's money to build a side wall for my emperor's nephew?" Such a crooked wall, I'm afraid it will collapse in a few years! ”

Li Wenquan has been following his father Li Wei before his sister Empress Dowager Li entered the palace and was crowned as a side concubine, that is, before the Li family was born, he has been following his father Li Wei and doing the work of a mason, and he has been doing it since he was a child, so he is considered to be a working person in this era, and has a very professional talent and rich experience in building walls.

After Qi Jiguang looked at it carefully, he said: "Cut down the person who supervised this section of the wall!" ”

Qi Jiguang has always governed the army very strictly, and in history, even his own son dared to be executed for violating military discipline, so at this time, after he himself found that the wall was indeed crooked, he directly ordered the person in charge of this section of the wall to be cut down.

Li Wenquan was a little dumbfounded when he heard this.

Then, Qi Jiguang ordered someone to tear down this section of the wall again and let people build it again.

Li Wenquan watched from the side for a while, and couldn't help but roll up his sleeves and say, "Let me come, he is obviously still a newcomer, and at first glance, he came to the border town to eat." ”

"Give me the brick knife!"

As he spoke, Li Wenquan snatched the brick knife from the man's hand.

Seeing this, Qi Jiguang didn't stop him, but just approached and whispered: "Uncle Guo, the Queen Mother in the palace has a kind message, let you behave well, don't embarrass the Li family again." ”

Li Wenquan was concentrating on building the wall seriously at this time, so he didn't look up at Qi Jiguang, but said: "You help me call back to Niangniang, just say that I am seriously repairing the border wall for Your Majesty!" No trouble! ”

"There is also a problem with this mud and the rice soup is obviously less! It's not the mud I saw when I came over, the front ones are all right, this one is not right, it will collapse if you use it to build the wall. My winter clothes are frozen, but if you build a wall like this, it will collapse! ”

Li Wenquan also spoke at this time.

"Cut down the person in charge of this mud too!"

After hearing this, Qi Jiguang continued to order.

Qi Jiguang's subordinates were stunned: "Uncle of this country is here to make trouble, right?" Just came and took two lives! ”

……

Half a month later.

Mandarin Palace.

Zhang Juzheng said to Zhu Yijun on the sidelines of Zhu Yijun's lecture: "Your Majesty, Qi Jiguang of the Prime Minister of Jizhou Military Affairs reported that Uncle Guo is quite insightful in supervising the construction of fortifications, and has made up for the shortcomings of the civil and military officials in the border towns, and has found several problems. ”

"And the minister believes that although Uncle Guo is a relative and is in the army, he should make the best use of his talents, restore his official status, and make him supervise the repair of the side wall, which is not considered to be a delegation of power to his relatives, but only a temporary authorization to check for His Majesty.

Zhu Yijun laughed after hearing this: "This shows that the army is right, let him continue to patrol Jizhou with the false position of Jinyi Wei Qianhu, and return to Beijing when he is amnestied." ”

"Obey the order!"

Zhang Juzheng responded.
