Chapter 60: Hou Ye's Mansion
Who is the worst prince in the chaos? It must be Zhang Guoji.
Zhang Yan entered the palace in February of the first year of the Apocalypse, and was named the queen in April, according to the practice of the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the queen's father was the worst to be crowned an earl, and the lucky marquis had it, Zhang Luan, the father of Empress Zhang of the Ming Dynasty, was named a marquis during his lifetime, and was crowned a prince after his death, but Zhu Youxiao, the emperor of the Apocalypse, only named Zhang Guoji a right governor of the Chinese army.
Why do it? Of course, it has something to do with Zhang Yan.
It is said that fifteen-year-old Zhang Yan not only has a face like Guanyin, a mouth like a cherry blossom, a nose like a hanging gall, and fine teeth, but also has a plump body, and is very sexy in popular language.
Who? Zhu Youxiao's nurse guest Yinyue.
Is there anyone with a surname in the world? Of course, where did you come from? But I'm telling you, this surname is not pronounced "ke", but "qie".
Ke Yinyue was jealous of Zhang Yan's good looks, so she didn't want the Emperor of the Apocalypse to choose Zhang Yan as the queen, why? Because she didn't want the woman around Zhu Youxiao to be too beautiful, but Zhang Yan's beauty conquered the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and Zhu Youxiao fell in love with Zhang Yan at a glance, so Kebaba held a grudge, and in the days that followed, in addition to constantly looking for Zhang Yan's stubble, he also prevented Zhu Youxiao from rewarding Zhang Guoji.
Could it be that a nurse can influence the emperor's election and reward?
The answer is yes.
Why?
Because the relationship between Kebaba and Zhu Youxiao is not ordinary.
Ke Baba, formerly known as Ke Yinyue, also known as Ke Baba, a native of Dingxing, Baoding Prefecture, is said to be very charming, married to the same village Houba at the age of sixteen, and gave birth to a son Hou Guoxing the following year.
At that time, Zhu Youxiao was born not long ago, and he needed to find a wet nurse to feed, and Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun attached great importance to it and ordered the eunuch to go out to find it, but if he couldn't find it, no one would come back.
Houba, this kid is not doing it properly, the life of the family is tight, I heard that someone from the palace is looking for a wet nurse, and Ke Yinyue doesn't care about her son who is less than a year old, so she volunteered to sign up.
It is said that this guest Yinyue does have the qualifications to be a wet nurse, and the waves in that place are very amazing.
The eunuch asked, "Hey! You look okay on the outside, don't you look good with a silver pewter gun head? ”
Ke Yinyue got angry and said to this eunuch: "You are not very old, what are your eyes?" The old lady has no milk for an hour, and she is going to suffocate to death, don't you see that the clothes are soaked with what comes out? ”
The eunuch took a closer look, didn't he? This echo condition, "It's you!" ”
It is said that when Ke Yinyue first entered the palace, she was sociable and knew how to deal with interpersonal relationships, and she was deeply liked by the people around her, so she was a good person. Moreover, she herself also looks quite a little beautiful, just after giving birth, that appearance adds a touch of maturity and charm, which makes it look amorous.
The eunuch is also a man, although he can't do anything, but he also likes to look like beautiful women, and naturally many people are okay and close to the guest seal moon set.
Of course, Ke Yinyue took care of Zhu Youxiao very well, and she couldn't find any faults, and in a few years, she took care of Zhu Youxiao as her own son.
Zhu Youxiao is seven years old, and someone spoke, "It's time for the nurse to go back." ”
Yes! The emperor's grandson is seven years old, and he has long stopped breastfeeding, what is the nurse doing in the palace, this is not in line with the rules, Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun gave an order, "Reward!" Then let her go back. ”
However, Zhu Youxiao couldn't do without Keyinyue, not only did he not eat well, but he also cried all night.
When the situation was reported to Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun, Zhu Yijun was anxious, "What kind of thing is this, if something happens to the emperor's grandson, he will have to pay back?" Hurry up and get someone back for me. ”
So, Ke Yinyue returned to the palace and continued to take care of Zhu Youxiao.
The years have passed, in the blink of an eye, and five or six years have passed, and I can't help but say that Ke Yinyue took care of Zhu Youxiao, and she was more dedicated than Zhu Youxiao's mother.
However, there is no way to make more comparisons, Zhu Youxiao's mother has been beaten to death by Zhu Youxiao's father, Zhu Changluo.
This guest Yinyue not only takes care of Zhu Youxiao's life, but also takes care of other aspects, the little Zhu Youyue has grown into a man, and everyone teaches everything to Yinyue, and Zhu Youxiao just wants to call his daughter-in-law.
Zhu Youxiao is a teenager, and a minister has spoken, and the nurse must not stay in the palace anymore, but Zhu Youxiao stopped doing it as soon as he heard it, and he went on a hunger strike! Protest.
None of the ministers can do anything, if the imperial grandson has three longs and two shorts, who will be responsible? Let Ke Yinyue continue to take care of the imperial grandson, let's leave it alone.
Zhu Yijun died, Zhu Changluo, who had been the prince for decades, ascended the throne and became the emperor, good guy, he finally came out, there are many fathers and daughters-in-law, let's get a few, but it won't work in less than a month, and the emperor will be braided directly after a month, so he made up a whole number.
Next, it was Zhu Youxiao's turn to be the emperor.
When you become an emperor, you have to marry a daughter-in-law, the biggest worry of the heavenly family is that there will be a successor when the emperor dies in the future, grandma's, Emperor Wuzong Zhu Houzhao almost couldn't find the class because he didn't have a son, and finally found someone from the side branch to take over.
Zhang Yan drafted into the palace, Ke Yinyue saw it, it was a bad thing, this chick is too beautiful, if she becomes the queen, the emperor still likes me, an old nurse? So, Ke Yinyue spoke, "This girl can't do it." ”
However, Zhu Youxiao fell in love with Zhang Yan at a glance.
You said that the emperor has taken a fancy to it, and you can't talk like that? How old are you?
If one move doesn't work, Ke Yinyue wants to use other ways to deal with Zhang Yan, if you can be the queen, I can find a way to depose the emperor.
Do you think this guy Yinyue is too arrogant and ambitious? But people have capital, Zhu Youxiao just became the emperor and named Ke Yinyue "Mrs. Fengsheng", don't you understand? The emperor still can't do without this old mother.
In addition, this Zhu Youxiao didn't know who to learn from, the carpenter's work reached the peak, there was no one before or after, and he was never tired of it, and the major affairs in the court were handed over to the great eunuch Wei Zhongxian.
Who is Wei Zhongxian? It took more than thirty years to enter the palace, and it was Ke Yinyue who helped him say good things before he got up, and the two of them formed a pair of food again.
Do you know what it means to eat? It is the eunuch and the palace maid or something in the palace who have become a husband and wife who have not received a marriage certificate.
Of course, it is impossible to become a real husband and wife, eunuchs do not have that function, but they eat together every day and sleep together at night, and the relationship is also deep.
Ke Yinyue wanted to find Zhang Yan's trouble, Wei Zhongxian helped, but Zhang Yan was very good at being a queen, but she couldn't find anything wrong, and she hated Ke Shi and Wei Zhongxian very much, not only did she not give Ke Yinyue a good face, but once she found someone to come and ordered to kill Ke Yinyue as the queen, which frightened Ke Yinyue.
In addition, Zhang Yan often quietly admonished Ming Xizong, expecting Xizong to be "far from the villain, close to the sage", Lao Wei and Wei Zhongxian were also scared, what does the queen mean? Are you looking for trouble with me? So, Wei Zhongxian and Ke Yinyue joined forces to find trouble with Zhang Yan.
However, Zhang Yan's behavior is impeccable, she really has the style of a queen, there is nothing wrong to catch, Ke Yinyue and Wei Zhongxian discussed, let's not stare at Zhang Yan, we can't find the problem, let's change the way, find Zhang Yan and his father Zhang Guoji's problem, if you don't believe it, you can't find a breakthrough.
So, the first plan came out and found someone to spread the news that Zhang Yan was not Zhang Guoji's daughter, but the daughter of the robber Liu San, who was picked up by Zhang Guoji.
This is a bombshell, but Emperor Zhu Youxiao really likes his queen Zhang Yan too much, and immediately gave a verbal warning to the two people.
But Ke Yinyue and Wei Zhongxian did not give up and continued to report Zhang Guoji's violations of law and discipline, although there was no evidence, it still left a shadow in Zhu Youxiao's mind.
Someone else became the emperor's father-in-law, and at worst mixed with an earl, Zhang Guoji is good, he is a right governor, he feels very aggrieved and depressed, once, looking for Zhu Youxiao, should you talk about my status up a little? You said that I am your father-in-law, my level is too low, and you are not ugly?
Hey! Who knew that Zhu Youxiao didn't give face at all, and directly criticized Zhang Guoji, saying that the reward is a national event, and you will be rewarded if you say that the reward will be awarded? As a result, Zhang Guoji touched his nose and walked away, that is, when Zhu Youxiao died after being the emperor for seven or eight years, his rank also stopped in place and remained motionless, and his Taikang Bo was still sealed by Zhu Youzhen when he was the emperor.
Damn! Zhu Youxiao is also really, Zhang Guoji is his father-in-law, you see how good you are to Wei Zhongxian, the family has been knighted, there are all kinds of dukes, marquises, and uncles, and even the children who are still in infancy have been named earls.
Zhang Guoji, I think that Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen is good, good to his daughter, respectful, almost a mother-in-law, good to himself, knighthood, and a house, he finally has a home in the capital.
A few days ago, Zhu Youzhen called on everyone to donate money to save the country, Zhang Guoji was not rich, and he also donated 20,000 taels of ideas, for this reason, Zhu Youzhen was very happy and promoted to the next level, Zhang Guoji became a Taikang Hou, even Zhang Guoji's son, Zhu Youzhen also took care of it, and sealed the governor Tongzhi, which is from the first official!
But Zhang Guoji's family is very good, this eldest son is a first-class member, and he goes down to do things sincerely.
It is said that Zhang Guoji's son Zhang Linxuan served as the prefect of the five-grade official in Yangzhou, and his ability was big and small, and it was said that he was almost so-so, and the emperor Zhu Youzhen also gave verbal praise.
Of course, the rest of Zhang Guoji's family also took advantage of it. After Zhang Guoji was beaten to death by Li Zicheng, Jianyu came in, and the people of the old Zhang family had no choice. According to historical records, Zhang Guoji's son, two younger brothers, and one nephew dragged their families and offered more than 300 hectares of land, two gardens, and 20 houses to Shunzhi, the Jianyu Emperor.
They have nothing left, how can they live? So, several people asked Shunzhi to lend them ten houses for them to live in temporarily, and Shunzhi agreed, and generously rewarded them with eighty hectares of land.
I don't know if it's true or not, but it's said that there are records in historical sources.
However, what is written in historical materials is not necessarily true, is it all written by people? That Wu Zhitang of the Song Dynasty was a county magistrate, tall and mighty, and in the end he was not described as a three-inch withered bark Wu Dalang, but he was also poisoned by his wife Pan Jinlian, who had an affair.
Later, some people sympathized with Zhang Guoji's family, the country is gone, what do you do with the family? It is also excusable to surrender to the enemy, and everyone does not feel anything at all.
Zhang Guoji's old lady is in her fifties, and her body is still okay, her daughter Zhang Yan accepted the matter of her righteous son, Zhang Guoji told the old lady when she got home, the old lady was excited, the second half of her life can be counted, the key is that this grandson is still a member of their old Zhang family, do you say that God has taken care of it too much?
Mrs. Zhang has long wanted to enter the palace to see her daughter, of course, this is just a reason, the main thing is to look at her grandson, there are such good things in the world, this child is not only a grandson, but also a grandson, Liu's blood on his body is Lao Zhang's, and the old lady with small feet just wants to jump up and perform a disco.
Of course, the old lady listened to what Zhang Guoji said about Zhang Ping, and almost died of surprise, "Master Hou, you said that Zhang Shun is also a businessman, why did he cultivate such a good grandson?" ”
Zhang Guoji also wondered, but Zhang Shun's family was drowned, and he couldn't find anyone to ask if he wanted to know? "You don't care about this, it's cheap now, Zhang Shun has the ability to cultivate, and he is not blessed to enjoy it!"
The old lady was happy when she heard it, "Who said no, our daughter's life is still good." ”
Zhang Guoji immediately agreed, "That's it!" It is! Although Yan'er doesn't have a child of her own, what is the difference between this child and what she gave birth to? ”
Zhang Yan, who entered the mansion, ordered the chief eunuch Yang Mingqi to bring things in, two high-quality cloths, and a large pile of fresh fruits that could not be seen in the market.
Then, Zhang Yan ordered Yang Mingqi to go back with a group of eunuchs and palace maids, when to call them thundering, and when to pick them up. This Hou Ye's Mansion was rewarded by Emperor Zhu Youzhen, to be honest, the place is not too big, the key is that there is no one in the Hou Ye's house, just the old man and the old lady with two envoys and maids and a few gatekeepers, it is a problem for so many people to eat, no matter what, the eunuchs and palace maids also have to eat, right? She has made up her mind, she will stay in the Hou Ye's Mansion for a day today, and accompany the old lady to have a good talk.
Zhang Ping came in and kowtowed to the old lady directly, his fate was good, it was a great thing to recognize Zhang Yan as his mother, and he had such a serious relative, regardless of whether he was related by blood?
The old lady looked at Zhang Ping who stood up and was happy, "Hey, look at my old lady, I'm not old, it's not too late to be confused, Master Hou, quickly take out our baby and give it to the child." ”
