Since Fang Muxian's incident and came back from peeing his pants in front of the imperial study, Zhang Yanling has been really low-key this year, living in fear every day.

Of course, it's just that he himself thinks it's very low-key.

In the house, there are vents of anger and indulgence.

And some businesses that seem to him to be very reasonable, and he also feels that he has done enough of the land properties that he "placed" in the past: Huang Mingji paid a lot of money to buy a peace of mind, and the official stores of Huangdian that had shares in the past were also handed over.

It's all so "well-behaved", what else should I do?

So the people from Wanping County said hesitantly that Diao Min went to sue again, and when the county had to accept the case, Zhang Yanling was furious.

"How can this be true? It's too much of a deception! The resentment of the past year broke out, and Zhang Yanling threw things wildly, "It's just more than six acres of land, didn't the marquis give money?" ”

The steward could only remind him worriedly: "Master Hou...... Today's trend is not to show your head. Last year, the son of the Sun family was seriously ill, and the silver we gave was missing......"

"That field can't be returned! Without that field, Wanping's thirteen hectares of land would not be contiguous. Zhang Yanling was still angry, "What kind of bullshit Tian Zhixian dared to take your silver last year, and he dared to come to the Hou Mansion to respond to the lawsuit this year?" ”

Isn't it what it used to be? Zhang Yanling was indignant.

“…… Master Hou, this matter can only be resolved as soon as possible, so let's break the fortune and eliminate the disaster. I will definitely keep the more than six acres of land, that is, Natian Zhixian and Sun Ming, but I am afraid that I still need to take care of it. ”

Zhang Yanling remembered Fang Muxian's wild words at the door of the imperial study that day, and he was stunned in his heart.

After calming his face for a long time, he slapped the table hard: "I want to do it again, then it was better to buy it at the real price!" ”

If it had been two years ago, where would there have been so much?

"You can't lose a big one because of a small one, Master Hou." The steward only advised, "Even if it costs a hundred taels, you can't let the news of Wanping County spread again." ”

"One hundred taels?" Zhang Yanling jumped to his feet when he heard this, "Now the price of land has begun to fall!" One hundred taels can buy six acres of good land! ”

"Master Hou, you can't be held by the official!" The steward was heartbroken, "One hundred and two...... I don't know the bottom of my heart. Even if it's two hundred taels, this matter has to be pressed. If Tian Zhixian hadn't seen that Hou Ye and Shouning Hou Ye had been reprimanded last year, would he dare to do this? ”

"I'm, at me!" Zhang Yanling hatefully dropped two more vases, and then said, "You go to Wanping, go to the account office to pay two hundred taels first, and help me make an appointment with Si Cong by the way!" ”

"Okay, don't worry, Master Hou, I will definitely do this well."

The steward was overjoyed.

Two hundred taels, I'm afraid I can get more than half. The matter of more than six acres of land, where can I use so much money to suppress it?

Zhang Yanling is so angry that since last year, there have been all kinds of little things that have to be dealt with non-stop, but the income is getting less and less.

The 10,000 taels of silver that Si Cong helped him release will be recovered at the end of the year.

I don't know how much he has earned for himself this year?

……

Zhu Houxi didn't care about how Luo An's side operated.

The people closest to the emperor all understood what kind of attitude he had, and if things didn't work out, it was their incompetence.

In the palace, although the six palaces in the east and west all have masters, except for the queen and the virtuous concubine, everyone else can only see the emperor in the morning when they practice the ten physical fitness techniques.

Or maybe you can meet it by chance in the Imperial Garden.

His Majesty only accompanied Concubine Xian to go around, or to paint and play chess with the queen in the garden.

Wen Suyun was a little confused: If that guy wasn't because he was lustful, why would he choose so many concubines at one time?

She was okay, she felt that it was interesting to watch the emperor practice the ten techniques of fitness every time, after all, she was a dignified emperor and made so many poses in front of them......

Among the nine concubines, except for Zhang Qinghe, everyone else will practice hard.

Wen Suyun felt that their movements were getting stranger and stranger, too stretched, and even a little bit of a gesture.

Coquette!

Zhu Houxi didn't look at them much, and left a sentence: "You have to keep it in winter, don't be lazy." ”

After that, they went to Kunning Palace—perhaps out of decency, the queen didn't practice with them.

When Zhu Houxi passed by Kunning Palace, he told Sun Ming: "Wash some incense at night and wait for me!" ”

Sun Ming's face had been cultivated to a delicate face, and when she heard this, she still nodded happily in her heart.

Counting the days, has Your Majesty's so-called "fallow period" passed?

Sun Ming, who has just tasted personnel, is actually looking forward to it in her heart.

For more than a month after the wedding, how could His Majesty not let her feel happy when she only spoiled her? When the mother came to the palace, she cried with joy after learning about the current situation in the harem.

Then he prayed that Concubine Xian's belly was a royal daughter, so frightened that Sun Ming quickly covered her mouth.

Your Majesty can have such a promise, so what to worry about those for? Even if it's the eldest son of the emperor, it's fine, after all, it's a concubine.

"Queen Mother, the secret recipe that Mrs. Hou said, do you want to ask the Tai Hospital?" Zhang Qiaomei, who grew up with her in the mansion since she was a child, asked in a low voice.

Sun Ming hurriedly shook his head: "Listen to Your Majesty's arrangement." ”

What kind of secret recipe for childbirth did her mother ask for, how could she eat it blindly? His Majesty told her not to take medicine indiscriminately, just concentrate on training her body and bones well, and eat better.

"Mother, let's pay attention to it. Do you want to have lunch and the slave maid instructs the imperial dining room to prepare some ......"

"Don't mess around, Your Majesty said, just eat what you like to eat."

Zhang Qiaomei only felt that Niangniang believed in His Majesty too much, and it was always good to be more prepared.

After Zhu Houxi held the national policy meeting, he took the time to go to Chang'an Palace: according to his common sense, the better the mood of the pregnant woman, the better it is for the fetus.

No matter how busy he was, he tried to go to Lin Qingping's side as many times as possible every day.

The current arrangement is proper, if you really want to go to this palace today and go to that palace tomorrow, if you are pregnant with several at once, it will really be inevitable that you will be left out a lot.

But on the way back to the Qianqing Palace, Huang Jin said: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother reprimanded the slave yesterday. ”

"What's wrong with you?"

Now the palace directly calls the Queen Mother, that is the Queen Mother Jiang. If you want to call the Empress Dowager Zhang, it is the Empress Dowager Cishou.

Huang Jin said aggrievedly: "The Empress Dowager reprimanded the slave and maid and said, how can you lead Your Majesty to Kunning Palace?" The other concubines are mostly neglected, and there will be resentment over time. ”

He looked at the emperor helplessly, and Zhu Houxi listened to the music: Isn't this just a reprimand for himself? But it's not good to talk about him directly.

"I've been wronged, so let's continue to suffer."

"Your Majesty, you have a secret method, so the slave thinks you can arrange the time."

He, the person responsible for helping the emperor record the time of the queen's menstrual affairs, naturally already knows a thing or two.

The menstrual time of different concubines is not the same.

"What's the arrangement? Hurry up and arrange for me to patrol the new camp! ”

Zhu Houxi actually wanted to take his time.

After a year and a few months, now the situation in the court is under control, and Yang Ting and them have to do everything with their hearts.

As an emperor, he gives a few good words from time to time, what festivals and the like, and he is considered a benevolent king.

The pace slowed down, but I knew it was a good time to do some long-term preparation.

The collection of talents in the Wanfa Pavilion and the improvement of firearms by the Ordnance Supervision of the War Bureau are all things that take a long time to work on.

Da Ming is not on the right track, for example, now he feels short of money.

Previously, the Beijing camp had only listed three years' salaries in advance, and next year will be the third year.

Guo Xun organized the training of soldiers and invited him to patrol the camp, didn't he just want to dangle more in front of him, and secondly, because he heard about the new law in Guangdong and added so many officials, he was worried about the future salary?

Several counties that were seriously affected by the disaster were exempted from the annual land tax, and the rest were also exempted by half, and the fiscal revenue of the first year of Jiajing must have decreased somewhat.

At this stage, his age is actually not too old, and it is not good to be immersed in the harem.

People can't overestimate their self-control, and when they enter the six houses of the east and west, they are really all looking forward to it and giving what they want. What's more, they all have their own charm.

It is not easy for the emperor to stand the test, so it is better to be out of sight for the time being.

It's just that after Huang Jin just went to arrange for the emperor to patrol the camp in a while, someone came to the Qianqing Palace to ask for a meeting.

is a female official in Qingning Palace, also surnamed Wen, called Wen Jingyi.

Zhu Houxi had a headache, and after calling her in, he really heard her say: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother sent a slave and maid over, and wanted to invite Your Majesty to Qingning Palace to discuss the marriage of Princess Yongfu." ”

This Wen Jingyi was originally in the palace, and after Empress Dowager Jiang entered the palace, she liked her quite a lot and was promoted to a female official.

Naturally, his appearance is also quite outstanding, but Zhu Houxi found out in the summer, and he is quite tolerant - Empress Dowager Jiang is only afraid that she is heartbroken for the emperor and grandson, even if there is actually a special nurse institution in the palace.

This Wen Jingyi was obviously looked for after the Empress Dowager Jiang found out that her son was too attentive to state affairs and not close to women, if Zhu Houxi hadn't come to Lin Qingping, I was afraid that Wen Jingyi would be washed and stripped by the Empress Dowager Jiang and sent to the Qianqing Palace.

Now Empress Dowager Jiang is worried about the marriage of Zhu Houxi's sister Zhu Qingyuan, Princess Yongfu.

Zhu Qingyuan, who was born in the first year of Zhengde, is now eighteen years old, and he is nineteen years old after the New Year.

In Empress Dowager Jiang's opinion, it would be unreasonable not to marry again.

"After you go back to your mother first, I will pay attention to this matter, and I have already arranged it. I'm still busy here, and I'll visit my grandmother and queen mother in the evening. ”

"Yes......" Wen Jingyi could only salute, and looked at the emperor who was writing with a complicated look.

Zhu Houxi heard the footsteps getting farther away before he looked up at her back, and then moved his wrist.

The work of "translating" the "Treasure of Arithmetic" is quite time-consuming, but many of the major events of "physics" are related to a set of efficient mathematical work, and Zhu Houxi can only do it himself.

Wen Jingyi looked inside with a little envy when she passed by Chang'an Palace, and then continued to return to Qingning Palace with a dignified demeanor, returning to the emperor's meaning.

Empress Dowager Jiang said melancholy: "I said that the arrangement went down last month, why haven't I seen any news?" I heard that the new imperial examinees from many provinces have arrived in Beijing! ”

“…… Queen mother! ”

Empress Dowager Jiang looked at Zhu Qingyuan on the side and nodded her head: "When do you want to come to see your mother after the wedding?" Now I don't want to see you dangling in front of my eyes, go to Qingping and ask the secret method of the Emperor's Sect clearly! ”

Zhu Qingyuan was extremely twisted, but she was getting older and older, and she was indeed looking forward to her Ruyi Langjun now.

Zhu Houxi had already called Yan Song at this time.

"Princess Yongfu's affairs are entrusted to you, do you have any eyebrows?"

can be a matchmaker for the emperor, Yan Song is naturally eager to do so.

He immediately replied: "Your Majesty, you have been keeping an eye on your Majesty's orders. If there is no Jinshi background, if the military attache is not quite capable, he is not a good match. Moreover, Princess Yongfu is a major event in her life, and the character of the horse is particularly important. The minister was ashamed, although there were four people in the new imperial examination, it was inconvenient for the military attache to make more friends, so he had to entrust it to Commander Luo. ”

"Which four?"

After Yan Song said three names, he hesitated for a moment before saying: "If you say that the minister is most satisfied, it is Xu Jie, the son of Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture, Nanzhili. ”

Zhu Houxi couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Xu Jie? ”

The expression is a little weird.

How did he remember what year Xu Jie was a jinshi? I only know that Xu Jie and Yan Song have played against each other for many years, and finally "removed" Yan Song.

Unexpectedly, Yan Song actually recommended Xu Jie.

And Yan Song replied: "It's just that although this Xu Jie's marriage is not consummated, he has already agreed to marry." Regardless of whether he retires from his family affairs in the future or what, after all, it will cause criticism and show that his character is worrisome. ”

Zhu Houxi nodded, understanding what he meant.

Cui Yuan Zhuyu is in front, and I am afraid that it will become a rule for a horse to be an official. If Xu Jie abandoned the girl who had been married for the sake of being a colt, what kind of good thing would it be?

If the emperor came forward to ask him to withdraw from his family, it would be even more outrageous.

So Zhu Houxi frowned and looked at Yan Song: "In that case, what else are you mentioning him for?" ”

Yan Song said embarrassedly: "The minister is afraid that he has delayed His Majesty's major affairs, so he should report it truthfully." ”

Zhu Houxi glanced at him: "This matter is not in a hurry, even if you wait for another two or three years, it will be fine." I'm just asking you to keep an eye out for it, and don't think about anything else. ”

“…… Obey the order. ”

Yan Song thought to himself that Princess Yongfu would soon be nineteen years old, and wait for another two or three years?

is that the princess does not worry about getting married, but the "old girl" will be criticized after all.

After Zhu Houxi waited for him to leave, he said to Gao Zhong: "You go out of the palace, wear ordinary clothes, and look at the appearance, conversation, and character of the other three people Yan Song said." ”

"The slave obeys."

Zhu Houxi knew what Yan Song meant.

If the emperor is interested and satisfied with Xu Jie, then he will naturally arrange it properly, so that Xu Jie will receive information from his hometown completely unconsciously during the Jinshi examination.

Whether the woman regrets her marriage or what, all in all, Xu Jie's reputation will not be damaged, and he will also be a good candidate.

But Zhu Houxi didn't have a good impression of Xu Jie, after all, he was judged by Hai Rui to have hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land.

pondered in his heart for a while, and suddenly muttered: "Yu Chengye...... Huang Jin, Yang Tinghe's eldest son-in-law, is it called Yu Chengxun? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, exactly." Huang Jin, who went to inform Cui Yuan, said sincerely, "Your Majesty has a good memory!" ”

One Xun, one industry, all from Qingshen County, Sichuan, Zhu Houxi sighed: "I don't know if Yan Song and Yang Tinghe have discussed." ”

If Yu Chengye becomes a colt in the future, wouldn't Zhu Houxi and Yang Shen have a layer of in-law relationship?

Yan Song is also a matchmaker and Yang Tinghe's protégé.

The new law is so scary, doesn't Yang Tinghe sleep well every day?

But presumably this Yu Chengye is also good in all aspects, otherwise Yan Song would not be so bold.

"Your Majesty, do you want the slave maid to tell Commander Luo to investigate?"

"Let's look it up." Zhu Houxi said calmly.

Anyway, it's just a list of candidates, and in the end, it depends on which one Zhu Qingyuan prefers.

It's just that Yu Chengye, Xu Jie, and Zhu Houxi have all ruled it out in their private hearts.

Too much calculation. Although he also had a political purpose in appointing Sun Ming as the queen, his three views and cognition can ensure that he is an emperor who knows how to feel sorry for his woman.

But he doesn't expect much from other people in this era.

…… After all, she was worried, after all, she was her own sister, and she slowly helped her find the right person, and Empress Dowager Jiang couldn't bear it; If you look for it randomly, won't it be trouble in the future?

"Let's go, go to Kunning Palace!"

You have to adjust it first.

……

At first, it was a small case, but when Wanping Zhixian collected the money, but when he opened the door in the early morning and saw a letter nailed to the lintel with a dart, things took a wonderful turn.

Wanping Zhixian arrived at the Shuntian Mansion and found the Shuntian Mansion Yin knelt down, and obediently took out seventy taels of silver: "Fuzun, the lower officials really don't know what to do." The people sued Jianchang Hou for forcibly seizing the land, and the Jianchang Hou Mansion Governor coerced and lured, and the matter involved the relatives of the country. The lower officials spoke softly, can the lord of the mansion return the silver taels on his behalf and persuade the Hou Mansion to return the people's land? ”

Yin Xu Fan of Shuntian Mansion looked at Wanping Zhixian with mixed feelings: "What kind of case is it?" ”

"No life!" Wanping Zhixian immediately replied, "It's just six acres and five points of land, and the lower officials have persuaded the steward of the Jianchang Marquis Mansion, but the Jianchang Marquis only wants to add some more money to buy the field, and the bitter master refuses to agree." After all, he is the brother of the Empress Dowager Cishou, how can the lower officials judge? ”

Xu Fan's eyebrows were twisted together.

How comfortable is it to be a political envoy of Shanxi Zuobu? It's too tangled to do this Shuntianfu Yin.

I don't know what will happen one day, what relatives and important ministers will be involved.

The matter of more than six acres of land, is Jianchanghou stupid? Could it be that too long has passed since the lesson of Shou Ninghou who "absconded in fear of crime" and was castrated by thieves last year?

He didn't know that Tian Zhixian was originally going to suppress the people, and he also collected the money solidly.

Who knew that this time the bitter master would not agree.

Therefore, Xu Fan could only draft a letter and send it to Jianchang Houfu.

Zhang Yanling couldn't hold back when he saw the letter, and called the steward and scolded: "You paid two hundred taels, and only gave seventy taels to the surnamed Tian?" You told me that it was done, but what is that? ”

In the letter, Xu Fan sincerely advised: What time is it? It's better to take care of it. The Hou Mansion is so big, is there a lack of more than six acres and five points of land?

Where is the steward willing to admit it, kneeling down and letting him beat him, but he can only shout: "Master Hou, wronged!" The man surnamed Tian clearly took one hundred and eighty taels, and I just handed over some broken silver to the county government office. Now they have swallowed the silver but beat a rake, this is to deceive the current situation of the marquis, just blackmail! ”

“…… How can this be justified, how can this be justified! Zhang Yanling asked sharply, "What you said is true?" ”

"It's true! Where do I dare to be so bold? ”

"Then you go to the Shuntian Mansion again and ask Xu Fan what he means? He also knew that it was only six acres and five points of land? This marquis has been angry for more than a year, and these six acres and five points of land must be bought! How much does it cost, this Hou Ye admitted! ”

“…… Then I'll pay another 1,000 taels first? After all, Lord Yin is no different from the governor of the governor......"

"Go!"

Zhang Yanling was angry in the house, but waited until the night before waiting for the guests.

Xu Fan stood in front of him and asked, "Zhang Hou, I asked someone to send a letter this morning, didn't Zhang Hou receive it?" ”

Zhang Yanling was dumbfounded: "Xu Fuyin, Ben Hou...... I've already arranged for the housekeeper to go to the government to wait for the arrangement? ”

The two stared at each other, and after a while, Zhang Yanling scolded: "Lao Jia, who is a dog!" ”

…… It is not surprising that the stewards of the brothers' mansion are all people with bad minds.

But now seeing Zhang Yanling's angry and frightened expression, Xu Fan knew that things were not so easy to do.

In a day's time, who knows where this Jianchang Houfu steward has gone?

But the matter of six acres and five points of land, is it worth it for this Jia steward to risk death and abscond?

Xu Fan couldn't help but shudder: "Marquis Zhang, you are in charge of the house, it won't be the remnant of the rebel thief of the Shouning Marquis Mansion before, right?" ”

Zhang Yanling immediately shivered even more, and said in a loud voice: "Absolutely not!" By no means! Master Xu, tell me, do you need more money? I don't want it......"

“……”

Jinyi Weibei Zhenfu Wang Zuo, who is proficient in human nature, knew the development of the matter, and nodded with a smile: "Look at the people first." When Sun Ming got the money, he would scatter in the capital, and let the people who had been bullied by the Zhang brothers boldly sue. ”

The commander of the Jinyi Guard in front of him, Si Cong, was sweating: "...... Wait for him to force me to pay for money? ”

"Yes, when he forces you to ask for money, you will go to Your Majesty to plead guilty."

Thanks to the alliance leader hermit secular people and Sug for the reward, the alliance leader owes more = 9. Now it's been ten thousand days, and I can't afford to add more, and I'm still (tears)
