Warm winter sun.

Chang Feng, Liu Daxia and Huang Boren, who went to Beijing to report on their work, came to the royal gate.

Emperor Hongzhi was diligent in government, in addition to the early dynasty, but also added half an hour after lunch.

The emperor and courtiers of the Ming Dynasty lost the habit of taking a nap.

Chang Feng didn't even return home, so he hurried to the royal gate to participate in the noon dynasty resumption. With tanned skin and calloused hands, a reward is indispensable.

Chang Feng, who has been out of Beijing for eight months, is like two people before leaving Beijing.

The Han general guarding the door looked from afar, and saw that Chang Feng was as black as a briquette. A flying fish suit is completely incommensurate with it.

They walked up to the front and shouted, "Who is it? ”

Liu Daxia on the side smiled dumbly: "You boys, don't even recognize your big shopkeeper of Beisi?" ”

The Han general looked at it for a long time before confirming that the black briquette in front of him was their grandfather.

General Dahan hurriedly knelt down: "Master Chang." The little ones were clumsy, and they only heard that you went to Shandong to control the water, but they didn't hear that you were sent to the border. ”

Chang Feng laughed and scolded: "Idiot! Do you think that controlling the water is more comfortable than distributing the border gates? Get up. I've been away for eight months, how is the Imperial City Garrison? ”

General Dahan reported: "Chang Ye rest assured, solid as gold." Half a month ago, the emperor promoted Mu Bin, a thousand households in Nanjing, to command the right servant, in charge of our Han generals. ”

Chang Feng was stunned: "Mu Bin has been promoted?" ”

Mu Bin, a character who has almost no presence in Jinyiwei.

The man was in his forties. In the last years of Chenghua, he was a well-known benevolent and tolerant hundred. My biggest hobby in life is to write lyrics.

After Emperor Hongzhi ascended the throne, he transferred him to Nanjing Jinyiwei to do a thousand households.

Nanjing Jinyiwei is different from the Beijing Jinyiwei, which is an idle yamen. There will be no Qin case, and no edict will be imprisoned.

Mu Bin's biggest errand on weekdays is to mediate the jealousy and ruthlessness between the founding nobles in Nanjing.

In addition to running errands, Mu Bin made poetry in Nanjing. It is known as "a thousand households of poetry".

Chang Feng pondered in his heart: the left and right commands are empty. The emperor promoted Mu Bin to be the right man. The seat of the left servant should be reserved for me.

Daming respects the left. The status of the left is higher than that of the right.

The hour had come, and the ministers entered the royal gate.

When many gossip officials saw Chang Feng, they secretly laughed in their hearts: Chang Tu didn't wait in the capital, so he had to invite himself to control the river. They deserve to be tanned into black briquettes! Isn't this asking for trouble?

Soon, they will find out that it is themselves who is ridiculous.

Emperor Hongzhi came to Fengtianmen accompanied by the celebrant Sanbingbi and sat down on the dragon chair.

Emperor Hongzhi said eagerly: "Liu Daxia, Chang Feng, and Huang Boren have arrived in Beijing?" ”

The three of them went out of class: "The minister is here!" ”

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at it, and subconsciously shouted: "Escort!" ”

Qian Neng, who supervised the East Factory, asked: "Your Majesty, there are assassins?" ”

Emperor Hongzhi pointed his finger at Chang Feng: "There are living people who have mixed into the Wu Dynasty!" ”

Chang Feng raised his head, holding the wat board with a pair of calloused hands: "Minister Changfeng, please Saint Ann!" ”

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Chang Feng carefully: "You are. My Changqing? It's you! How did you become like this? Come forward! ”

Chang Feng deliberately held the wat board high, for fear that Emperor Hongzhi would not see the calluses on his hands.

Emperor Hongzhi stepped down from the dragon chair and came to Chang Feng: "Put down the wat board and let me see your hands!" ”

Chang Feng put down the wat board. Spread your hands out in front of Emperor Hongzhi.

After reading it, Emperor Hongzhi said: "Zhuqing! Qian Neng said to me that Chang Feng personally picked up soil, lifted silicon, and moved stones on the embankment. ”

"These calloused hands represent the sincerity of a loyal minister to the court and the people!"

Chang Feng said: "Your Majesty." Building embankments and controlling water is a century-old plan. As the emperor's private military envoy, the minister should take the lead in setting an example and leading by example. Let the people understand the emperor's determination to control the water! ”

"Liu Duyuan said that controlling water is like fighting. As the deputy commander of the water control army, the minister should take the lead! ”

Hongzhi Emperor Long Yan Dayue: "That's good! The imperial court needs a thousand constant winds! ”

After speaking, Emperor Hongzhi returned to the dragon chair.

The Qing gossip official who was secretly laughing at Chang Feng outside the imperial gate just now was dumbfounded: Where is Chang Feng's hard work? It's clearly gold-plated!

Chang Feng picked up the wat board and returned to the general's class. He was waiting for Emperor Hongzhi's reward.

However, Emperor Hongzhi was not in a hurry to reward him.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Liu Daxia, you have made great achievements in controlling the water this time. I ordered you to be the left servant of the household department, and concurrently serve as the left deputy capital imperial history. ”

Liu Daxia was promoted from the former political envoy of Zhejiang to the left waiter of the household department, which is already a great promotion.

Not to mention, Emperor Hongzhi set a precedent for officialdom. Let Liu Daxia serve as the left hall of the household department at the same time, and be the third-in-command of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

History books: In the spring of the sixth year of Hongzhi, Zhang Qiu of the Yellow River beware of a breach. The emperor ordered the talented ministers to patrol Lu and control the water. Promote Liu Daxia to the right deputy capital of the imperial history.

Liu Daxia dredged the Jialu River in Huanglinggang, and then dredged Sunjiadu and Sifuying to divide the water potential.

From the city of Xucheng through Dongming, Changyuan to Xuzhou to build a causeway, a total of 360 miles long. The flood was cured, and Zhangqiu Town was renamed "Anping Town".

The Emperor gave the seal book to praise. Summoned as the left waiter of the household department, and concurrently served as the left deputy capital imperial history.

Historical figures are always full of controversy in later generations.

Later generations complained about Liu Daxia's burning of the drawings and charts of Zheng He's treasure ship.

Even, when Liu Daxia appeared inside, readers had to comment that "he burned the blueprints of Zheng He's treasure ship, and he was a great traitor, so he let the protagonist kill him."

History is always similar. In 1976, why did the Soviet Union dismantle the N1 rocket, the largest aircraft in the history of human spaceflight, and incinerate (instead of mothballing) all the drawings and data?

As a descendant, you can speculate on the motives of his actions from Liu Daxia's perspective.

First, Zheng He's treasure ship was not a warship. Rather, it is a transport ship. It was built to fill the house with treasures from overseas.

In the Yongle Dynasty, where there was a shortage of silver and the currency was extremely high, the cost of a single ship reached 6,000 taels.

Zheng He's fleet of sixty-three ships cost more than 350,000 taels of silver to build. Together with the rest of the horse ships, grain ships, seat ships, and war ships, the total cost of the fleet was as high as 600,000 taels.

The economic historical material of the Ming Dynasty "Guangzhi Interpretation" contains: Zheng He went to the West seven times and lost more than 7 million silver.

Modern people know that Zheng He's voyage to the West is a great feat, a pioneering spirit of great adventure, and a diplomatic journey full of the demeanor of a great power.

However, Liu Daxia is not a modern person, not a traverser, just a scholar in the Ming Dynasty.

Zheng He spent 7 million taels of taels in exchange for the arrival of all nations, a bunch of exotic beasts, and tribute trade with the Nanyang countries.

In Liu Daxia's view, since he went to the West seven times, he had established a stable tribute system with the Nanyang countries. Why spend a lot of money to go to the West?

Second, both the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, influenced by the Confucian and Mencian ideological traditions and the limitations of the times, did not have the concept of opening up maritime frontiers, let alone the concept of colonization.

Zheng He went to the West seven times, although he led tens of thousands of troops, but did not open up half of the overseas territory for the Ming Dynasty.

Even if Liu Daxia doesn't burn the treasure ship drawings. The Ming Dynasty will not be like some people in later generations think: if the treasure ship is not destroyed, I will be able to colonize the entire South China Sea and even the Indian Ocean coast.

The Ming Dynasty's colonization can only be a plot that appears in the crossing.

As for saying that the treasure ship is still there, it is nonsense that the southeast will not make trouble. A treasure ship is not a warship.

Third, Liu Daxia was afraid that the kings of later generations would go to the West on a whim and spend national funds, so he burned the treasure ship drawings and charts.

Fourth, the so-called "Liu Daxia burned the blueprints of the treasure ship, and his descendants became the largest pirate group in the middle and late Ming Dynasty" is purely a fictional history of hunting strange fields from the literature of the early 21st century.

The history of the stall was carried by a bunch of self-daughters who fabricated history for the 20s of the 21st century. The letter was lost.

Look at the rights and wrongs of the ancients in doing one thing, and do not judge them from the eyes of modern people. Be sure to combine the historical context in which the ancients did this.

The ancients did one thing, which is wrong in the eyes of modern people. But in the historical context in which he lives, it may be right.

Liu Daxia's rights and wrongs, merits and demerits, later generations have different comments.

But at least, the title of "Three Gentlemen of Hongzhi" was not made up by Zhang Tingyu, but was evaluated by the Ming people. It can be found in many Ming Dynasty classics.

Whether it is history or historical figures, there is no black or white, and neither white nor black.

Let's get back to the point, and say that Emperor Hongzhi rewarded Liu Daxia. And said: "Huang Boren." ”

Huang Boren knelt down: "The minister is here." ”

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Luxi flood, you disobeyed the governor's order, and transferred the official grain of the Laizhou Prefecture to the disaster relief. For that reason, I will reuse you! ”

Huang Boren said humbly: "Your Majesty, the ministers are self-aware. The talents of the ministers can barely govern several mansions. Governing the vast land of Qilu is inadequate. ”

Emperor Hongzhi thought for a moment and said: "People are valuable in self-knowledge! But I must give you the position of governor. ”

"The cabinet intends to appoint Huang Boren as the governor of southern Gansu."

The governors of the Ming Dynasty were divided into "big governors" and "small governors".

The governors of the two capitals and 13 provinces are the "great governors".

The rest of the "Governor of Gannan", "Governor of Xuanfu", "Governor of Yansui", etc., are all small governors.

Rewarded the two heroes of flood control and disaster relief. Emperor Hongzhi finally looked at Chang Feng.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Changfeng." I promoted you to be the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and you are in charge of the Beizhen Fu Division. ”

Chang Feng's heart blossomed: as I expected!

Chang Feng kowtowed: "Minister, thank you!" ”

Jin Yiwei commanded the left servant, and the military attache was the fourth grade. Emperor Hongzhi promoted Chang Feng by one level.

The former dynasty commanded the left affairs often to be suppressed and made empty. Emperor Hongzhi intimately explained that although he is not the envoy of Beizhen in the future, he can "specialize" in charge of the Beizhen Fusi.

This was Emperor Hongzhi's first reward to Chang Feng.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "The General Administration Department will set an example for Chang Feng and write the merits of his personal work on the embankment into the palace newspaper and circulate it to the official offices in various places!" ”

This is equivalent to giving Chang Feng a letter of praise and announcing it to the whole country.

For the courtiers, this is the supreme honor!

This is the second reward that Emperor Hongzhi gave to Changfeng.

Chang Feng raised his eyebrows among the courtiers. He kowtowed again: "Thank you for the emperor's grace." ”

Emperor Hongzhi asked: "For the post of envoy of Beizhen, can Chang Qing have a successor?" ”

This is Emperor Hongzhi's third reward to Changfeng - you can choose your successor.

Qian Ning killed so many people for him and offended so many people, how could he not repay him?

Chang Feng said: "Your Majesty." This time, Qian Ning cracked a major river case in Shandong. 400 corrupt officials were arrested, and 360,000 taels of money were confiscated. A lot of credit. ”

"The minister recommended Qian Ning to succeed him as the envoy of Beizhen."

Chang Feng is starting to be a chicken thief again.

On the surface, he was promoting Qian Ning, but in fact, he put all the murder and raiding of his home in Shandong on Qian Ning's head.

The protégé of the killed official should be hated, don't hate me Chang Ge, hate Qian Ning and go!

That's what the stand-in does. Anyway, Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.

Qian Ning's identity is not enough, and he is not among the Yumen Wu Dynasty.

His godfather money can cast a grateful glance at Chang Feng.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Quasi-play!" Zhuqing, you should take Liu Daxia, Chang Feng, and Huang Boren as models. Be a true loyal and brave minister! ”

The evaluation of "loyal and brave ministers" is the fourth reward given to Chang Feng by Emperor Hongzhi.

In the Yumen Wu Dynasty on the twenty-third day of the twelfth month of the sixth year of Hongzhi, Chang, Liu, and Huang were out of the limelight.

At the end of the noon dynasty, Chang Feng raised his head and walked out of Fengtian Gate with infinite scenery.

Being able to do something for the people has made him very satisfied.

Not to mention that he also received four rewards from Emperor Hongzhi.

He's just a spring breeze and a horseshoe disease!

After the court, he rode home on a fast horse.

I haven't seen my wife, concubine, sister, or son for eight months, and I want to hurt him.

Moreover, the Long Beach construction site is not as good as the capital, and there is no Yihong Building.

According to the scientific explanation of later generations, long-term physical labor has produced a large number of hormones in Chang Feng's body, and there is nowhere to vent.

In the prime of life, he was suffocated.

Changfu.

Jinyiwei's robe Ze has informed the Chang family that Chang Feng will return to Beijing today.

Liu Xiaoyan and others have been standing at the gate of the mansion since the morning, waiting for Chang Feng.

Finally, Chang Feng's figure appeared in front of everyone.

Chang Feng got off the horse, and Liu Xiaoyan and Mrs. Nine cried distressed when they saw Chang Feng like this.

Liu Xiaoyan wiped her tears: "You have no conscience." It took eight months. I'm scared to death. ”

The Ninth Lady also sobbed: "Why are you tanned like this?" Your hands."

Chang Feng hugged his beautiful wife on the left and the concubine on the right, and couldn't stop comforting: "What are you crying about." Haven't I come back? ”

Zhuang Zhuang swung his two calves: "I want to hug too, I want to hug too." ”

Chang Feng let go of his wife and concubine, and kissed, embraced, and lifted his son high.

Chang Tian smiled and said: "Brother, the charcoal sellers who send carbon to our family are whiter than you." ”

Chang Feng said: "It's okay. After holding it in Beijing for a few months, it was white again. ”

Chang Feng suddenly discovered something: "Tangtang, why did you only see Xiaohu but not Huzi?" ”

Chang Tian was sad: "Brother, Huzi died four days ago. In the eight months you have been gone, it has been lying at the door of the house almost every day, waiting for you to come back. ”

Chang Feng was stunned.

Huzi is more than just a dog to him. It's his old buddy.

It has accompanied him for ten years and witnessed him rise from a little-known Jinyi Weili to a famous Jinyi Wei commander all the way.

Chang Feng remembered the scene when he first saw Huzi ten years ago.

He was only seventeen years old. Huzi is two years old.

Huzi bites everyone when he sees it. Angry, Xiaoqi prepared to bear it, and ate stewed dog meat with the robes at night.

But as soon as he saw Chang Feng, Huzi wagged his tail and rubbed his head against Chang Feng's legs.

In order to save Huzi, Chang Feng took the initiative to give Xiaoqi two taels of silver wine money.

Dogs, sometimes much more loyal and trustworthy than people.

Chang Feng entered the house. The tiger was buried by a small pond in the backyard. Before his death, he liked to lie on the side of the small pond and bask in the sun, watching Chang Tian and Zhuang Zhuang fishing Wang Ba.

It was a small grave. There is also a monument erected on it.

The tombstone is Chang Tian's handwritten handwriting, carved by a stonemason. The handwriting is slightly immature - "The Tomb of the Loyal Dog Tiger".

Chang Feng sat down next to Huzi's grave.

Chang Feng said: "You go to the hall and wait for me first." I'll sit with Huzi for a while. ”

The family left silently. Only Chang Feng was left sitting by the pond.

The winter sun shines on the pond and sparkles.

Chang Feng said to the grave: "Huzi, if there is really an afterlife, let's continue the frontier." You come to me, and I will give you mutton to eat. But it's not covered in silver foil. ”

In fact, Chang Feng knows in his heart that Laizhou Red can live for fifteen years at most. Huzi only lived for 12 years, which is not unrelated to the long-term eating of silver foil in previous years.

"Wang!" Chang Feng heard a dog barking.

He was stunned: Could it be that Huzi has a spirit in the sky?

It turned out to be the cub of the tiger who barked.

Xiaohu licked Huzi's tombstone first. and rubbed his little head against Chang Feng.

Chang Feng hugged Huzi: "Hey, tiger head and tiger brain, he really looks like your father." ”

Chang Feng just returned to Beijing, and won the praise of Emperor Hongzhi and was promoted. There is an endless stream of people who come to visit and pat on the back.

The servants of the Changfu only let Liu Bingyi in.

Many of the people carrying the gifts were indignant: "How did you put him in?" We're going to see things happening, too! ”

The servant shouted: "You can see clearly, this is our master's father-in-law, Liu Butang!" ”

Liu Bingyi raised his head and entered the mansion proudly. I laughed in my heart: The door of my virtuous son-in-law is also what you cats and dogs can enter if you want?

The chef of the Chang family made a good meal.

Chang Feng was a little strange: "What about Yun Niang?" ”

There are two cooks in the Chang family, one in her thirties, named Chun Niang.

One has just turned forty this year, and her name is Yun Niang.

Yun Niang was born as a, the charm still exists, the front is convex and the back is pouting, and the beauty is bubbling.

Chang Tian said indignantly: "Zhang Heling's guy is really shameless! When I came to accompany me to fish Wang Ba, I fell in love with Yun Niang! ”

"He's a royal prince and he's young. After a little coaxing, he tricked Yun Niang out of the house and slept with her! ”

"It doesn't matter if he sleeps, he won't admit it when he puts his pants on. I was so angry that I ran to Uncle Guo's mansion and scolded him! Pulling his ears, he agreed to accept Yun Niang as a foreign house. ”

Chang Feng frowned: "It's twenty years old." When did Zhang Heling have a habit of young cows eating old grass? ”

Let's eat. Liu Bingyi, a veteran of the flower bush, found that his son-in-law's eyes were hot when he looked at his daughter.

He understood: "Ah, virtuous son-in-law. I still have something to do, let's go first! ”

Chang Feng said: "I'll send you old." ”

Liu Bingyi was not serious in front of his daughter and son-in-law: "I don't need it." Go get me another grandson! ”

After Liu Bingyi left, Chang Feng instructed Zhuang Zhuang: "You sleep with your aunt at night." ”

Zhuang Zhuang frowned: "I don't!" My aunt snorted like firecrackers! ”

That's right, Chang Tian, the county lord of Wanping, was born with white skin and beautiful appearance, and a slender figure. Just one problem, sleeping and snoring. The snoring was so loud that it was a noise of gongs and drums and firecrackers.

Chang Tian pinched his strong ears: "Don't listen to your father, right?" ”

Zhuang Zhuang hurriedly said: "Hehe, where can I be." I listened to my dad and aunt the most! ”

fooled away Chang Tian and Zhuangzhuang, and then dismissed the cook and servants. There were only three people left in the dining room: husband, wife, and concubine.

Chang Feng smiled lewdly: "I recognize Lao Li'er the most." Since ancient times, wives and concubines have different rooms, and the rules cannot be broken. ”

"In the middle of the night I went to the lady's room. In the second half of the night I went to Madame's room. ”

Eight months with the workman, the earth, and the stone. Chang Feng is simply a hungry wolf now.
