The first month of the second year of Koji.

The entire Beijing officialdom is in turmoil. Qian Ning, the deputy Qianhu, led Ti to ride out and arrest the gossip officer.

The gossip officials are all at home like fish waiting to die, waiting for Ti to come to the door.

That's how interesting things are in the world. In order to find a stand-in, Chang Feng promoted Qian Ning. Qian Ning thus began a prominent more than 30 years of prosperous official fortune.

Channing was crazy. Changfeng sits firmly on the Diaoyu Tai. Celebrate the New Year at home with peace of mind.

On the third day of the first lunar month, Changfu kitchen.

Chang Feng and the old Taishan Liu Bingyi and his sister Tangtang rolled out the dough and wrapped the zygote. Liu Xiaoyan hugged Zhuang Zhuang and watched.

It is customary in the capital to eat zygotes on the third day of the first month. A zygote is a pie.

It is very clever to let the stand-in stand at the front desk and hoe the grass. Chang Feng was in a good mood and cooked in person today.

Tangtang picked up the white flour and smeared it on Chang Feng's nose.

Liu Bingyi smiled, "Good candy. This white nose can't be erased. In Kunqu Opera, all white-nosed people are female deceitful villains."

Chang Feng said casually: "Don't say it, I've really done a female deception recently."

Tangtang smeared the white noodles on Liu Bingyi's nose again: "Uncle in-law, you should also be a female cheater villain with your brother, haha."

Huzi ran in with a bone in his mouth. It lay on its stomach by the fire, roasting comfortably and gnawing on its bones.

Zhuang Zhuang "babbled" in Liu Xiaoyan's arms and said baby language, laughing "hahaha" from time to time.

The family is happy.

At this moment, the subordinate reported: "Master, Qian Xiaoqi of Jinyiwei asks to see."

Chang Feng corrected him: "Now it's a thousand households."

After speaking, Chang Feng came to the living room. Qian Ning knelt down when he saw him, and kowtowed when he knelt down: "Subordinate Qian Ning, give Chang Ye a New Year's greeting!" Good luck with your progress!"

Chang Feng smiled and said, "Hurry up, please!"

Channing got up. Chang Feng asked, "Have all the gossip officials involved in the formation of the party in Jingli been arrested?"

Channing replied, "One hundred and thirty-eight. All arrested. At present, one-third of the cells in the Imperial Prison are occupied by officials."

Chang Feng said, "Well, interrogate them immediately. Let them confess to some crimes that are enough to disgrace their officials and not enough to lose their lives."

"After receiving the confession, hand it over to the Three Laws Division for conviction."

Qian Ning asked, "Our Jinyiwei can be convicted, what will we do with the Three Law Divisions?"

Chang Feng explained: "The emperor wants to drive them out of Beijing openly. Our Jinyiwei's reputation is too stinky, and it is not above board enough."

Channing arched his hand, "Yes. By the way, Chang Ye, I was busy arresting people, and I didn't come to give you a New Year's gift on the first day of the new year. Make it up today."

After speaking, Qian Ning handed over a gift list and asked people to carry a small box.

Chang Feng glanced at it, and there were five hundred taels of silver on the gift list alone. There are also Suzhou-Hangzhou silk, Nanjing Yunjin and the like, all of which are valuable.

Qian Ning is here, let Chang Feng sell it and be busy sending him money.

Chang Feng read the gift list, and his face changed: "Qian Ning, if you want to do this, we are not brothers who have lived and died together!"

"You're like-minded with me, and we've fought together. It's like a half-brother. How can I take your money?"

Qian Ning hurriedly said, "These are just a little bit of the meaning of the little brother."

Chang Feng waved his hand: "If we two brothers talk about money, it will be cheesy. If you don't take back the gift list, I'll serve tea to the guests now."

Qian Ning had no choice but to take the gift list back into his sleeve.

Chang Feng said again: "The clear stream here in the capital has been caught. The next step is to catch the clear stream in Nanjing. We're done hoeing."

"Ling Zun Qian's father-in-law, who has been a eunuch in Nanjing for eight years. Nanjing is his territory."

"The current Nanjing town supervisor Jiang Cong is Ling Zun's confidant."

"After the New Year, you immediately take 300 robes to Nanjing, and let Grandpa Jiang cooperate to drive the noisy crows in Nanjing out of the officialdom."

Qian Ning smiled, "Master Chang, you're right. Nanjing has always been my father-in-law's territory! I'm going there on an errand

The fish got into the water."

"Don't worry, when I get there, it won't take half a month to sweep them all away!"

Chang Feng said with satisfaction, "Well, I believe in Brother Qian's ability. Otherwise, I wouldn't have admonished you in front of the emperor and promoted you to be a deputy thousand households."

At the mention of this stubble, Qian Ning began to be grateful to Dade again: "You not only promoted me to an official this time, but also made me shake off my majesty in the capital!"

"In the future, I'm afraid that Elder Ge and Da Jiuqing won't dare to despise me."

The two chatted for a while, and Qian Ning said goodbye and left.

As soon as Qian Ning left, Ma Wensheng came.

Ma Wensheng didn't bring any gift list to Chang Feng, only a belly full of anger.

Chang Feng arched his hand at Ma Wensheng: "Ma Laobutang, you are polite."

Ma Wensheng's face turned pale, and he sat down on the chair unceremoniously: "Chang Feng, you are too disagreeable! I have captured the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Imperial Court is empty!"

Chang Feng laughed: "My old horse, you can wronged me. Clearing down the officials in Beijing is an edict from the emperor to Jinyiwei."

"The big treasurer of our Jinyi Guard is Commander Zhu. He gave the errand to Channing."

"People were all caught by Channing. It has nothing to do with me."

Ma Wensheng sneered: "Heh, do you believe this yourself? You can fool others, but you can't fool me!"

"Channing is just your marionette!"

Lao Ma is a man who understands.

Chang Feng restrained his smile: "I can't hide anything from the eyes of Ma Lao Butang."

Ma Wensheng sighed, "Alas. In fact, I am also dissatisfied with the Beijing Central Speech Officer. This year, several restructuring strategies of the Ministry of War have been brought back by the Military Department to the United Imperial History."

"It's just that I think you have to do things in a certain way. It's just a matter of catching a few leaders. How did you empty the entire Metropolitan Procuratorate? Like what?"

Chang Feng said: "Ma Lao Ministry. Don't speak in secret in front of the Ming. There are many officials in the Ming Dynasty. If a group of disobedient ones are emptied, the emperor will replace them with a batch of obedient ones."

"In less than two months, the Metropolitan Procuratorate will still be prosperous."

"The current emperor is a Ming monarch. Those who are disobedient to stay in the capital will only hinder the emperor's great cause of making great efforts."

Marven said, "Well, what you said also has some truth. That's it, I want you to say a good New Year. Next year, it will continue to rise. I'll go first."

Chang Feng sent Ma Wensheng away and returned to the kitchen.

Liu Xiaoyan asked, "Qian Ning is gone?"

Chang Feng nodded: "Qian Ning just left, and Ma Butang came. I talked to Ma Butang for a while."

Liu Bingyi said on the side: "It's only been three or four days, and Qian Ning is famous in Beijing! My fellow civil servants nicknamed Qian Ning 'Qian Wolf!'

"Virtuous son-in-law, you are really capable. directly promoted a little-known little milk dog into a vicious wolf that shocked the officialdom."

Chang Feng said, "Where. I rather didn't promote the money. The father-in-law of the family is the master of ceremonies, the pen, the father-in-law. The emperor is looking at Qian Ning, who is reused by Father-in-law Qian's face."

"Old Taishan, I bother you to say this to your colleagues and friends."

Chang Feng is spreading the news through his father-in-law: Qian Ning is arrogant and domineering in the capital, but I didn't instigate it. If you want to blame, you blame his father-in-law Qian Gonggong.

When the zygote is steamed, the family feasts, needless to say.

In the evening, I went back to the bedroom. Chang Feng lay on the bed, feeling that this year was unreal, like a dream.

In just one year, he was able to turn his hands into clouds and rain in the court.

You must know that after this year, he will only be twenty-three years old.

Sure enough, it is rich and dangerous. If it weren't for the nine deaths in the autumn night of the twenty-second year of Chenghua, he would now be at most a small hundred households in Fusi, Beizhen, who was busy raiding his home.

It may not even be mixed with 100 households.

Liu Xiaoyan suddenly took a birthday eight-character note to Chang Feng: "Oh, it matches your eight-character very well, let's take a look."

Chang Feng glanced at it a few times: "Whose eight characters?"

Liu Xiaoyan said: "In the second year of junior high school, you went to the old prime minister's house to pay respects, but you were not at home. It was sent by the nine girls in Xiangxi Lane."

"When people send you a birthday, it is tantamount to telling you that they are willing to be your concubine."

Chang Feng frowned: "You just threw it away." What will you do with me? Is it to test my sincerity towards you?"

Liu Xiaoyan said, "I didn't mean that. How can any of the officials and nobles in the capital not take concubines?"

"We've been married for two years now. It's time for you to take a concubine, too. Otherwise, the ladies in Beijing will laugh at me for being a vinegar tigress."

Chang Feng said: "The emperor has only one woman so far, Empress Zhang."

Liu Xiaoyan scolded with a smile: "What you said is suspected of being disrespectful. Do you dare to compare with the emperor? Worthy of comparing with the emperor?"

"I think these nine girls are good. It's very good temper with me. When she gave me her birthday yesterday, she also gave me an old yellow bow by the way."

"It is said that it was used by Han Shizhong, a famous general of the Southern Song Dynasty."

Chang Feng said: "Even if I take a concubine, I can't accept nine girls! The woman's heart was full of thoughts. It's another stolen business."

Liu Xiaoyan lay in the crook of Chang Feng's arm: "Forget it. Whoever you want to accept or who you don't want to take, you just have to decide for yourself."

The spring of the second year of Hongji quietly arrived.

By the second day of the second month of February, Qian Ning swept away the officials of the two metropolitan procuratorates of Beijing and Liudu.

Most of those officials were dismissed or demoted, but no one lost their heads.

The Hongzhi Dynasty, which went down in history, came to an end with the "prison of the two Beijing officials".

The person who benefited the most from this prison seems to be Liu Ji. Since then, no one in the two capitals has dared to impeach Liu Ji.

Chang Feng is left and right in this political wave. Liu Ji thanked him for his protection; Channing thanked him for his support; Liu Jin followed him and was promoted, and regarded him as a benefactor.

Emperor Hongzhi relied more on Changfeng, and even gave birth to the feeling that "I am more and more inseparable from Changfeng".

Chang Feng is simply Qin Shi Huang eating peppercorns and winning hemp.

On this day, Chang Feng was in the room to check the account books of the Beijing copyist.

A wrestler walked in: "Thousands of households. The nine girls in Xiangxi Lane sent someone to bring you a message. said that she was in great trouble, and I was afraid that her life would not be guaranteed. Let you go to Xiangxi Lane to rescue her."

Chang Feng's first reaction: It should be that the ninth girl received some stolen goods. Arrested by the people of the Criminal Department or Suncheonfu.

It's nothing. With his current status, he can save the nine girls with a casual hello.

Coincidentally, a pile of good wood, porcelain, bronze and other stolen goods were recently found in the homes of thousands of households. I saved up three storerooms.

Chang Feng was about to find the Nine Girls to sell these things and distribute them to the robes.

He simply rode a horse and went to Xiangxi Lane in person.

Who would have thought that the wind and waves in Xiangxi Lane were calm. The ninth girl set up a big pot in the courtyard to fry the sauce meat used to roll spring cakes.

Chang Feng said, "Ninth girl, are you in big trouble?"

The ninth girl smiled, "I don't let people say that, how can I invite Brother Chang to eat spring cakes!"

"Today, on the second day of February, according to the rules of your Han people in the capital, you should eat spring cakes. I'll cook it myself, and you'll always give me this face."

Chang Feng was helpless: "Okay. You've invited me to dinner, wine, and tea a dozen times. I can't afford to lose face once."

The ninth girl brought the food into the hall. In addition to the stepping bed copied from Cai Zhong's mansion, there is also a dining table in the hall.

The ninth girl was busy pouring wine and cloth dishes for Chang Feng, and she was very enthusiastic.

Chang Feng ate two rolls of spring cakes and drank two glasses of wine, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

His face was hot, and his blood was pouring down.

The ninth girl sneered coquettishly on the side: "Oh, Brother Chang, why are you red? Is it getting hot in the spring, and you're still wearing a cotton robe? I'm a little hot, too."

After speaking, the nine girls took off their coats.

Chang Feng seems to have a worm in his brain. The eyes looked at the nine girls deadly.

The ninth girl directly started: "Oh, brother. You're not feeling well

, Sister will help you to the bed to rest for a while."

Nine girls, this Tujia girl, is not only arrogant, but also bold and scary!

She poisoned the wine of the common wind!

Naturally, this poison is not a threat to a man's life. It's just going to make men can't hold back.

The Nine Girls are well-informed and know how high Chang Feng's status is now.

She is determined to be Changfeng's concubine. In that case, looking at the entire capital, who the hell would dare to touch my Xiangxi Lane?

Chang Feng is strong, and when he used to talk to Nine Girls alone in the hall, he couldn't help it. It needs to be controlled, controlled, and controlled again.

What's more, now that I've been poisoned!

As soon as the ninth girl helped him onto the stepping bed, he couldn't hold back any longer: "Nine girls, don't go. Uh, good girl!"

The Nine Girls finally succeeded! The two of them became a good thing in the Babu bed that Cai Zhong slept in before.

Therefore, when a man goes out, he must protect himself.

An hour later, the potency had dissipated. Chang Feng stared at the tassel of the stepping bed with vacant eyes.

The ninth girl said, "Brother, from today on, I will be your person. I will marry you as a concubine, and I don't want your dowry, but I will bring a dowry of three thousand taels."

Chang Feng looked the nine girls up and down, and the first sentence was: "Decline red?"

The Nine Girls nodded, "Well, it's not red."

Chang Feng asked, "Who did you give the first time?"

The ninth girl said truthfully, "The first time I gave it to the Criminal Department, I caught it. The second time was given to a team leader in Daxing County. The third time to the inspection of the Suncheon Mansion. A small flag for the Fifth City Terracotta Division for the fourth time."

"There's too much to come, I can't remember."

"Don't think I'm clean. For the people of Xiangxi Lane. I can sacrifice everything, including myself."

Chang Feng stared at the face of the nine girls.

On the face of the Nine Girls, he saw his own shadow.

In the capital, there are countless little people who are trying to survive. Three years ago, I was one of the countless little people.

Nine girls are a woman, for the survival of more than 100 ethnic groups. When encountering those difficult official families, they can only make compromises.

At this moment, Chang Feng felt a little pity for the nine girls.

Chang Feng asked, "I want to take you as a concubine, and I must know your name." Nine girls and nine girls all day long, I don't know your name."

The Nine Girls replied, "My name is Murthepa Gani Zhaozhao. Murteba is my last name. Gani is a famous name, and in Tujia dialect, it means bird."

"My dad wanted me to grow into a bird singing happily in a tree. But the way of the world has forced me to become a female vulture."

Chang Feng asked, "Am I the prey of your she-vulture?"

The nine girls replied, "Yes. You are the prey of my long-cherished prey."

Five days later, the Changfu placed the concubine wine.

Taking a concubine is not taking a wife. But the guests who came to the concubine wine this time were no less than when Chang Feng married Liu Xiaoyan. It's just that Zhu Youzhu didn't come in person.

Liu Ji, the first assistant of the cabinet, personally came to congratulate him, and when he was impeached, Chang Feng helped him. He's here to show his gratitude.

Wang Shu and Ma Wensheng, the two Shangshu, are Huai'en's old friends, and they are in the face of the old minister.

The three giants of ceremonies and supervisors were all present. The commander of the Jinyi Guard, Zhu Ji, also came.

Needless to say, the robes of the brocade guards. All above the general flag are here.

Among the commanders of the army, Ye Guang and Shi Wenyi's eldest brother Shi Wenzhong came.

The auspicious time has come, and Chang Feng and Liu Xiaoyan are sitting on chairs.

The Nine Girls fell to their knees. The maid next to her was holding a tea tray.

The ninth girl took a teacup from the tea tray and gave it to Chang Feng with both hands: "Master drink tea."

Chang Feng took a sip.

Then the ninth girl picked up another teacup and presented it to Liu Xiaoyan, "Madame drink tea."

Liu Xiaoyan took a sip, and then said, "Sister, get up."

Fat Xu shouted, "Licheng!"

From this moment on

, the ninth girl officially became the concubine of Jinyi Wei Changye.

Naturally, she will never give up Xiangxi Lane and her people.

Since then, the brothers have changed the title of "Nine Girls" to "Nine Ladies."

After the banquet, the *** officials gradually dispersed.

Zhu Ji didn't leave. Sit at the table and drink.

Chang Feng walked over: "Commander."

Zhu Ji said, "Chang Feng. I am afraid that your concubine wine is greater than the prince's marriage wine."

"There are a bunch of *** in Beijing. It's very prominent."

"I have a saying, it's okay if you think I'm pouring cold water on you. When I'm admonishing you, whatever you think."

Chang Feng arched his hand: "Commander, please speak."

Zhu Ji said: "This sentence is - it is not a good thing for people to be too prominent. Actually, I didn't say this, it was said by the old prime minister before."

Chang Feng was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I've been taught."

Zhu Ji got up: "I know the details of your little concubine. Later you can shelter her business. Don't get into trouble."

It's the end of the hour.

Chang Feng did not go to the bedroom of the Ninth Lady. Instead, he entered Liu Xiaoyan's bedroom.

Liu Xiaoyan asked, "Flower candles in the cave room, why did you come here to me?"

Chang Feng lay down on the couch: "I'm afraid you think I like the new and hate the old." If you have a concubine, you will not have a wife."

Liu Xiaoyan said, "Let's do it. You go me to her bedroom. On the first night of our wedding, I didn't want to be hated by her."

"After that, you will sleep with me for two days and with her for one day. Hmph, who made me a wife and she was a concubine."

Chang Feng was like a holy decree: "All right. I usually listen to my wife the most. Tonight is no exception!"

Liu Xiaoyan scolded with a smile: "Are you just waiting for my words? Get out of here."
