Emperor Hongzhi was a benevolent emperor. His philosophy in the world is: live for yourself and let others live.

Emperor Hongzhi told Chang Feng: "Remember. I hope that those Qingliu will lose their official hats and leave the capital far away. I don't want their lives. ”

Chang Feng arched his hand: "The minister understands." ”

He left the main hall of the Qianqing Palace and prepared to return to Jinyiwei. As he passed through the Fengtian Gate, he glanced at the clear streams that were kneeling and admonishing.

Qingliu all looked righteous and awe-inspiring.

Chang Feng pondered in his heart: With the magic power of Jinyiwei, they can be found more or less in the private file.

But the emperor asked me to be a sickle brocade guard for hoeing grass for more than a hundred years, and those who became sickles did not end well. For example, Mao Xiang and Ji Gang.

He remembered what Wynne had said before his death: Those who have achieved great things in ancient and modern times should find a substitute as the first priority. The emperor's stand-in is Liu Ji. Liu Ji was scolded for the emperor and took the blame for the emperor. So we have to keep some Liu Ji in the future.

Since the emperor can find a stand-in. Why can't I find a stand-in?

When it comes to hoeing, I can find someone else to stand in front of the stage for me. Who to look for? This person's official position in the Jinyi Guard can't be too low. He must also be ruthless and black-handed.

Chang Feng remembered a person - Qian Ning!

But Channing is just a small flag, and his stand-in for Chang Feng is obviously not enough.

Chang Feng had to think of a way to get Qian Ning promoted. and didn't let Qian Ning notice that Chang Feng had other plans for promoting him.

Don't forget, there is also a godfather standing behind Qian Ning, and the celebrant is in charge of printing Qian Neng. That's the old fox with the most powerful head.

After a while, Chang Feng thought of a perfect idea.

He didn't go back to Jinyiwei, but went to the celebrant and called Liu Jin to go to the ceremonial supervisor's duty room to find Bingbi Qian Neng.

After Huai'en's death, Xiao Jing took over the palm print, and Li Guang was promoted to chief bingbi. Qian Neng is the third oldest in the celebrant supervisor.

This little fan brother of Wang Shu has cooperated with Wang Shu in the past six months and eliminated many mediocre officials.

At this moment, Xiao Jing was waiting for Emperor Hongzhi in the Qianqing Palace, and Li Guang went to the Kunning Palace to serve Empress Zhang.

There is only money left in the value room, and you can "stab" and drink tea.

Qian Neng is a standard capable person. can be greedy, and can also do things. He has the common problem of eunuchs: be careful and be careful.

He firmly believes that the grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring. However, his understanding of this sentence is slightly different from ordinary people.

He understood this sentence as: Whoever spills a drop of water on me, I splash him all over.

Of course, Wang Shu is an exception. It may be that Wang Shu rectified him ruthlessly and directly gave him Stockholm syndrome.

Chang Feng led Liu Jin to Qian Neng.

The two saluted to Qian Neng: "Meet Grandpa Qian." ”

Qian Neng smiled and said, "Hurry up and be courteous!" Chang Qianhu is a big celebrity in front of the emperor. Why do you have to come to me today? ”

Chang Feng arched his hand: "There is something that subordinates have to discuss with Father-in-law Qian." ”

Qian Neng said: "Please take a seat." Sit down and say. ”

Chang Feng sat down, and Liu Jin stood on the side.

Qian Neng instructed the little eunuch to serve tea to Chang Feng.

Chang Feng took a sip of tea and clarified his intentions: "Father-in-law Qian, your righteous son Qian Ning has been under me for a while. ”

"He's capable and has a good character. It can be called a young talent in the brocade guard. ”

"He's just a small flag now, and he's really overkill. I'm his immediate boss and I'm going to help him get promoted."

When he heard that Chang Feng wanted to help his godson be promoted, Qian Neng was very happy: "Then I will be the son of the unsuccessful, thank you Chang Qianhu for your support!" ”

Chang Feng said: "Father-in-law, where is this?" This is what Channing deserves. ”

Qian Neng said: "He has only been in the guard for a year. First raised the small flag from the lieutenant, and this time the general flag will be raised. It is equivalent to upgrading two levels in one year. ”

"I didn't say it, in the future, I will let him work well under Chang Qianhu and repay you for your kindness."

Chang Feng had a strange expression on his face: "General Flag? I didn't say I was going to raise him as the general flag. ”

Qian Neng frowned, and said in his heart: Could it be that this kid Changfeng is here to play me today? I didn't offend him on the surface.

I understand, he must have known about the bloody case in Hangzhou in the summer, it was Qian Ning who sent someone to send me a letter, and I told the emperor again.

That's right, the person who sold Chang Feng in front of Emperor Hongzhi was Qian Neng's father and son.

In fact, money can be misunderstood. Chang Feng didn't know that it was their father and son who sold him.

Qian Neng secretly thought: If you are polite to me, I will give you a good face. If you come to trick me, then don't blame me for putting pen to paper.

Qian Neng's face instantly drooped: "Chang Feng, what do you mean?" Did you go to the celebrant duty room to trick me? ”

Chang Feng was confused: "Tricking you? When did I fool you? ”

Qian Neng said: "You just said that you wanted to promote Qian Ning's official, and immediately changed your words to prevent him from raising the general flag." Talking is the same as farting, isn't it playing with me? ”

"I remind you that I am the Master of Ceremonies. No matter how favored you are, you're just a brocade guard! ”

Chang Feng stood up: "My father-in-law Qian." You misunderstood me. I do want to promote Channing, but not just him. ”

Qian Neng was stunned for a moment, knowing that he might have misunderstood Chang Feng, and what he said just now was too much. He immediately changed his smile: "How do you say this?" Do you want to promote him two levels in a row and make a test hundred? ”

Chang Feng shook his head slightly: "More than that." ”

Qian Neng was surprised: "You want to promote him to three levels in a row and become a hundred?" ”

Chang Feng continued to shake his head: "It's not more. ”

Qian Neng was dumbfounded: "Don't be kidding. Do you want to promote him to four levels in a row and make him a deputy Qianhu? It's simply impossible. ”

Chang Feng said: "How is it impossible? The rules of Jinyiwei are that there are two deputy thousand households under one thousand households. ”

"Now that I have inspected thousands of households, there is only one deputy thousand households in Xu Guangzuo. I plan to let Qian Ning make up for the shortfall of the deputy thousand households. ”

Qian Neng was a little incredulous: "How is that possible?" Qian Ning's qualifications are far from enough to be a deputy thousand households. Moreover, Jinyiwei's promotion to a thousand households requires the approval of the Governor of Dongchang. ”

"What's more, Qian Ning is not a hundred households and a thousand households. Rather, it was raised by a small flag. Jump four levels in a row. ”

Chang Feng walked up to Qian Neng, respectfully picked up the teapot and filled him with tea: "Father-in-law Qian." Who said Channing wasn't qualified enough? ”

"This time, the arson case was solved, and the credit is all due to him!"

"Summer in Yongning, Fujian. He led a small flag team of ten people and killed hundreds of Japanese invaders. ”

"He has military merits and defense merits. Qualifications are enough! ”

"As for the approval of the governor of Dongchang, I will go to the emperor. Ask the emperor for a decree. The emperor has a decree, and it is not good for Gonggong Xiao and Commander Zhu to have objections from there. ”

Qian Neng was in ecstasy at first. He treats Channing as his own son, just as Wynne treats Chang Feng as his own grandson.

After a while, the scheming man suddenly asked, "Say Chang Qianhu, what do you want me to do?" ”

Money can know that there is no reason for pie in the sky. Chang Feng treats his righteous son so kindly, there must be a purpose.

Chang Feng smiled: "Father-in-law Qian, you are really wise. See through at a glance that I have a request for you. ”

"That's right, Liu Jin is my best friend. He entered the palace at the age of six and has been in the palace for thirty-three years. There is no merit and hard work. ”

"But he's only a six-rank emperor so far. Can you elevate him to the rank of Bell and Drum Division under your supervision as a deputy from the Fifth Rank Division? ”

Qian Neng stared at Chang Feng, and he thought: Cough, it turned out to be an exchange of interests with me. You helped to get Qian Ning promoted, and in return, I had to help Liu Jin get promoted.

Oh, the horizontal and vertical Qian Ning is promoted to the fourth level. Liu Jin is only promoted one level. I won't lose money on this deal.

Thinking of this, Qian Neng agreed: "No problem! I am in charge of the bell and drum division. Arranging for someone to be the deputy is just a matter of opening a note for me. ”

Liu Jin on the side was almost moved to cry: Chang Feng is too righteous! In order to help me get promoted, I didn't hesitate to promote a Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi to be a deputy thousand households!

When the ancestor was alive, he was really right-Chang Feng was a kind person!

Qian Neng and Liu Jin both fell for Changfeng.

Chang Feng did this exchange of interests in order to cover up his intention to promote Qian Ning as his stand-in.

At the same time, Chang Feng sold two more adult favors. Qian Neng's father and son will be grateful to him, and Liu Jin will be even more grateful to him.

The people in the court are sophisticated, and they can be regarded as being understood by Chang Feng.

Chang Feng and Liu Jin walked out of the celebrant duty room.

Liu Jin knelt down for Chang Feng with a "puff".

With tears in his eyes, he said sincerely: "Chang Qianhu, no, little uncle." From today on, my nephew's life is yours! ”

According to Huai'en's seniority, Chang Feng is really Liu Jin's goduncle.

But a thirty-nine-year-old called a twenty-two-year-old "little uncle", and Chang Feng still got goosebumps and fell to the ground.

That's how it is in the court. Recognize the seniority of the cadres and relatives not based on age, but on status and power.

Chang Feng stretched out his hands to help Liu Jin up: "Virtuous nephew, please get up quickly." We are all old ministers. Now that the old minister is gone, we should naturally take care of each other. ”

"You go to the Bell and Drum Division Office first to transfer. I have to go to the Qianqing Palace. ”

The future "emperor" of the Ming Dynasty can't give his life to Chang Feng at this moment.

This favor is worth it for Chang Feng.

Chang Feng broke up with Liu Jin and returned to the Qianqing Palace to see Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi asked: "Why, the matter of hoeing grass has been raised so quickly?" ”

Chang Feng knelt down: "Your Majesty, the minister wants to promote a person to be the minister's deputy to hoe grass." It just so happened that there was a shortage of a deputy thousand households under the minister. I specially asked the emperor to send down Long En to promote him. ”

Emperor Hongzhi asked, "Oh? Who's being promoted? ”

Chang Feng replied: "The small flag of the subordinate Qian Ning." ”

Emperor Hongzhi blurted out: "You are learning from me!" ”

"This person named Qian Ning is to you, I'm afraid Liu Ji is to me."

"You're looking for a stand-in, aren't you?"

Emperor Hongzhi was too smart to see through Chang Feng's intentions at a glance.

Chang Feng can cheat money and Liu Jin. But he wouldn't be stupid enough to lie to Emperor Hongzhi.

Chang Feng's answer was very decent: "The minister is imitating the sages." You are the sage of the day. ”

Emperor Hongzhi laughed out loud: "You might as well just say that I am slippery." You're slippery enough, too. ”

"But you're doing the right thing. Hoeing grass will offend the clear stream of the whole world. I don't want to see your sharp dagger curled up by chopping stinky and hard stones. ”

After speaking, Emperor Hongzhi picked up the imperial pen, brushed and wrote a holy decree to promote Qian Ning to a deputy thousand households, and covered a small seal.

The appointment and dismissal of high-ranking officials in the Ming Dynasty and the issuance of holy decrees require the cabinet to draft a decree and the celebrant to approve it.

Jin Yiwei is the emperor's domestic slave, and the appointment and dismissal of the holy decree does not need to be handled by the cabinet. Emperor Hongzhi's handwriting and small seal are sufficient.

Half an hour later, Jinyi Wei inspected thousands of households.

Chang Feng summoned Xiaoqi to gather in his duty room.

Chang Feng said: "Everyone, there is good news! I just begged the emperor to promote Qian Ning to a deputy thousand households! The emperor has issued a holy decree! ”

As soon as Chang Feng said this, all the robes looked at each other. They were shocked, but they were even more unconvinced.

Especially Shi Wenyi.

In terms of loyalty to Chang Feng, Shi Wenyi far surpassed Qian Ning. In terms of the time with Chang Feng, Shi Wenyi followed Chang Feng for four years, and Qian Ning only followed him for one year.

However, Shi Wenyi is a smooth person who is very proficient in interpersonal communication.

Although he was not convinced, he was the first to hold his fists and congratulate Qian Ning: "Qian Deputy Qianhu, congratulations." Brothers will count on you for much support in the future. ”

Channing didn't speak. Because he was stunned! I couldn't believe my ears at all.

I'm just a small flag, Chang Ye actually interceded for me in front of the emperor and directly promoted me to four levels?

I said! I'm not human! Why was he in Hangzhou in the summer, and sent someone to send a letter to his father-in-law to tell him the truth about the Hangzhou City Bloody Case?

Isn't this selling Chang Ye?

Channing was condemned by his conscience at the moment. But after all, conscience is not worth a few taels. The guilt quickly dissipated.

Qian Ning knelt down to Chang Feng with a "puff of pass": "Chang Ye, for your kindness, I will never repay it!" ”

Chang Feng smiled: "Hurry up, please." You're wrong, it's not me who carries you. It's the emperor who promotes you! ”

Xu Fatzi smiled: "Qian Ning, don't talk about those vain heads." Tonight, Yihong Mansion, you have a treat! ”

The behind-the-scenes boss of Yihong Mansion is Saitanghong. Now Xu Fatzi and Saitang Hong have become long-term concubines. He likes to help Yihong Mansion pull business.

Qian Ning raised his hand arrogantly: "I didn't say it, tonight the robes above the small flag will go to Yihong Mansion." I'll pay for the accommodation! I pay! ”

Chang Feng said with a straight face: "Everyone, we are not so idle!" There is a big event in the court today! ”

"More than 200 Qing gossip officials in the two capitals formed a party and coerced the emperor by jointly folding their names and kneeling down to admonish."

"As the emperor's domestic slaves, we must take this evil breath for the emperor!"

Qian Ning has just been promoted, so he naturally wants to behave. He was indignant: "Those damn Qingliu are like a flock of crows, and they will only make noise in the court all day long. ”

"I've seen them unpleasant. This time, they actually deceived the emperor. It's just looking for death! ”

Chang Feng said: "Qian Ning." You have just been promoted to a deputy thousand households, and you should show your face in front of the emperor to prove your ability. ”

"This time to punish the two Beijing officials, you are charging ahead, and I will give you advice."

Qian Ning was overjoyed, he was very jealous of Chang Feng, who had repeatedly appeared in front of the emperor for more than a year.

Four months ago, he betrayed Changfeng, partly out of jealousy.

He would love to be the second constant.

Belch! Good! This opportunity to shine in front of the emperor finally fell on me!

Qian Ning arched his hand: "Master Chang, what to do, you can command!" ”

Chang Feng said: "Punishing more than 200 gossip officials is difficult to say, and it is easy to say." ”

"For more than 100 years, we have built private files for countless officials, and sent countless ears and eyes to inquire about the hidden affairs of officials. In order to have a purpose at such a time. ”

"Those gossip officials, I estimate that ninety percent of them have a handle in our private room."

"It doesn't matter if the rest of the officials are clean. Our Jinyiwei's job is to plant false goods. ”

Qian Ning echoed: "Chang Ye Gao Jian! ”

Chang Feng reminded him: "Listen well. The emperor's intention was to only degrade and exile them. Don't want their lives. Don't do any heinous sins on them. ”

"The previous leaders of Qingliu in the capital were Tang Nai, Zou Zhi, Ji Ren, and Li Wenxiang. Now they're gone. ”

"Now the people who are kneeling in Fengtianmen are Zhang Sheng, Cao Lan, and Ouyang Dan! You first convict these three people and put them in prison. ”

Qian Ning arched his hand: "My subordinates understand!" ”

can shine in front of the emperor, and can shake majesty in front of a crowd of clear streams. Why wouldn't Channing?

He plunged into the stall room, and compared the joint names on the impeachment fold, and led people to find the private files of officials one by one.

This side of the room. Chang Feng sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and drank tea with Xu Fatzi.

Xu Fatzi asked: "If you want to rise, you should also ascend to Shi Wenyi." What does Liter Channing do? ”

Chang Feng smiled slightly: "Qian Ning is the righteous son of Father-in-law Qian. I don't want to give my father-in-law a favor. ”

Xu Fatzi said: "You have treated Shi Wenyi a little badly. Among our thousands of households, except for me and Huzi, count him as loyal to you. ”

Chang Feng nodded: "Hmm." In a few days, I will tell Commander Zhu that Shengshi Wenyi should be a hundred households. ”

In the evening of the same day. Qian Ning took a thick stack of private files and came to Fengtianmen.

Zhang Shengzheng, the son of the left concubine, led more than 100 Qingliu and shouted: "Please ask the emperor to depose Liu Ji!" ”

Channing walked up to him and kicked him directly.

Zhang Sheng is not Wang Shu, and he does not have the courage to beat Jinyiwei.

Wang Shu likes to be hands-on. Zhang Sheng likes to reason with his mouth.

Zhang Sheng questioned Qian Ning: "Why did you insult Sven and beat the court officials?" ”

Qian Ning said angrily: "It's you turtle bastard!" Four years ago, you were just a little acquaintance from Wupinfu. How did he transfer to Beijing and become the left concubine of Zhengwupin? ”

"You know, the magistrate is promoted to the Beijing official, and he is promoted to one level and three levels!"

Zhang Shengdao: "Naturally, it's because I'm honest and honest."

Qian Ning scolded: "your mother!" Fooled into the head of Jinyiwei? Chenghua has been twenty years, and the traitorous eunuch Shang Ming has been longevity. You poor sour don't have the money to give any gold, silver and jewelry. ”

"So you hollowed out your thoughts, asked someone to enter Beijing, and presented a birthday poem to Shang Ming."

"It's beautifully written, and it's a hidden-head poem. The poems are connected at the beginning of the poem, and it is the eight characters of 'the pine of the inner phase longevity than the south mountain'. ”

"As soon as Shang Ming was happy, he greeted the officials and transferred you to the capital."

"You dare to call yourself a clear stream like this? Licking the treacherous eunuch's belly is about to lick out the! ”

Zhang Sheng was dumbfounded: "That was four years ago." ”

Qian Ning said angrily: "What about four years ago? Come on, Zhang Sheng flattered and treacherous eunuchs, seeking promotion, and his crime was extremely evil. Immediately take away the black yarn and send it to the Jinyi Guard Prison to wait for the fate. ”

Two wrestlers stepped forward and picked off Zhang Sheng's black yarn.

Then Qian Ning continued to take the private file roll call: "Yushi Ouyang Dan." When you inspect Henan, you notice that the grain depot in Qinyang Prefecture is empty. The impeachment excerpt has already been written. ”

"The prefect of Qinyang gave you three hundred taels of silver. You're going to tear it up! ”

"You are guilty of bribery and cover-up! Take away the black yarn now! Imprisoned! ”

Qian Ning can be regarded as shaking his majesty in Fengtianmen today. More than 20 officers were arrested in a row.

There were only about eighty officials kneeling in front of the Fengtian Gate.

Qian Ning said in a loud voice: "The rest of the people have listened." If you feel that you have done nothing wrong in this life, you will stay at the royal gate and continue to kneel. ”

"If you feel like your butt isn't clean. So he honestly went home and waited for the punishment of the crime. ”

The clear streams are instigated!

Four of their previous leaders had defected early in the morning.

Now three of their leaders have been arrested and imprisoned.

Who would dare to find Emperor Hongzhi's bad luck in Fengtianmen?

They got up one after another, ready to leave.

Qian Ning shouted: "Listen to me." My name is Qian Ning, and I am the new deputy Qianhu of Jinyiwei! ”

"For the New Year, who dares to make the emperor unhappy for a while, I, Qian Ning, will make him unhappy for the rest of his life!"
