The smart and cute little girl Sugar Candy was twenty-five years old at the time. Even her son, Jianjian, is six years old.

The family gathers at the county lord's mansion.

Liu Xiaoyan and the wife and concubine of the ninth lady were in harmony, and they were eating and drinking at the banquet.

Chang Ponu coaxed his cousin Jianjian to play a slingshot.

Chang Feng followed Lao Taishan Liu Bingyi and admired a golden armor general that Huang Yuan had just exchanged for from the fish and insect market.

Chang Tian was combing the old dog Xiaohu.

Time has passed, and even the cub of the tiger, Xiaohu, has become an old dog, dying of breath, and his life is short.

Since Xiaohu was not qualified to inspect the errand of searching for silver in thousands of households, he was taken to the county lord's mansion by Chang Tian to raise, and he had three meals of meat a day.

Liu Xiaoyan said: "Don't be busy. Let's have rice. ”

The crowd entered the dining room.

Emperor Hongzhi is very fond of Chang Tian, a life-saving benefactor and righteous sister. Rich rewards are given every year. The dining room of the county lord's mansion is magnificent. The porcelain on the table is all for the royal family.

Let her sister enjoy the glory and wealth was one of Changfeng's life goals. This goal has long been fulfilled.

Chang Feng raised his glass: "The first glass of wine at our family banquet, I wish the title of the Zhuang Zhuang Laurel List, and next year's apricot list and gold list will be on the list." ”

The family toasts together.

Huang Yuan deliberately laughed at Chang Feng: "Big brother." You have taken the five subjects of Hongzhi for three years, six years, nine years, twelve years, and fifteen years, and the second place is Sun Shan. ”

"In my opinion, next year the father and son will enter the spring together. Maybe his son is hit, but Lao Tzu is still famous in Sun Mountain. ”

Chang Feng smiled: "If that's the case, I have to burn three pillars of high incense for my father." Thank him for his old man's spirit in the sky, and bless his grandson's school movement. ”

The trial release date of the undergraduate Beizhili Township is set for a month later.

Chang Ponu was not worried. In three nine-day exams, he answered fluently. Lifting is not a problem. It's just that there is still suspense about how many places can be ranked on the apricot list.

Let's say that Emperor Hongzhi's health is getting worse. The person who knew most about Emperor Hongzhi's condition was a strange man named Liu Wentai.

Liu Wentai, the second-class jinshi in the fourteenth year of Chenghua. During the Chenghua period, he served as the judge of the Right Tongzheng and Tai Hospital. He is both a civil and a medical officer.

One of the things he is most famous for during his Chenghua years was the death of Emperor Chenghua.

Emperor Chenghua suffered from diarrhea before his death. Liu Wentai went to see Emperor Chenghua and said that he would be fine for a few days.

Liu Wentai prescribed medicine to Emperor Chenghua. And then there was no then. Chenghua Emperor Dragon returns to the sky.

At that time, Wantong, Shang Ming, Wan'an and others had not yet lost power. Go to check the medication book of Tai Hospital. In the end, it was concluded that Liu Wentai "threw the medicine obediently, causing the collapse".

In the vernacular, it is: Liu Wentai prescribed the wrong medicine and cured the emperor to death.

In any dynasty, it is a capital crime to treat the emperor to death by quacks, and the punishment of the clan is light, at least the three clans.

Needless to say, the emperor, even if the common people in later generations have a medical accident, the attending doctor will still be responsible.

What is strange is that Emperor Hongzhi, who had just ascended the throne, did not pursue Liu Wentai in the slightest. It's just that he was removed from his position as a civil official and made him a full-time judge of the Tai Hospital.

killed the emperor, Lao Liu was unharmed!

At that time, whether it was Chang Feng or the important ministers of the court, they all thought that there must be a hidden secret.

But the new emperor has just ascended the throne, if the cause of the old emperor's death is investigated, wouldn't it be nothing to do?

Everyone maintained a tacit understanding. That's it. Following the new emperor's hard work, it is the right thing to create a prosperous era. What old accounts are being turned over?

This kind of old accounts is not good, and it may make the legitimacy of the new emperor's accession to the throne questionable.

It stands to reason that Liu Wentai escaped death and should be honest.

But he doesn't. It didn't take long for him to follow the path of the old cabinet and seek to be released as a salt tea fat shortage.

However, the fair and honest old heavenly official Wang Shu stood in his way.

Liu Wentai actually framed Wang Shu for carving and publishing a book, slandering the emperor. Emperor Hongzhi sent Chang Feng to take action, and only then did he clear his grievances for Wang Shu.

Impeachment and framing Wang Shu, the first important minister in the early days of the Hongzhi Dynasty. Liu Wentai's death has come to an end.

It seems that Liu Wentai's loss of his head is a sure thing.

What's even stranger is that Emperor Hongzhi did not severely punish Liu Wentai, the perpetrator of the planting case, but only expelled him from the hospital.

Kill the emperor and frame the heavenly officials. Liu Wentai's life is safe.

The weirdness continues.

A few years later, Liu Wentai actually went back to the Tai Hospital and continued to be sentenced by the hospital.

Because Liu Wentai went through the door of two groups of people. One group is Zhang Yu, an internal official, and the other group is Li Dongyang and Xie Qian of the cabinet.

Zhang Yu and Gonggong Zhang's status in the palace is not prominent, just a young eunuch. However, he is in charge of the stall of drugs in the palace. Supervise the hospital in business.

Coupled with the support of Li Dongyang and Xie Qian, Liu Wentai successfully recovered.

Emperor Hongzhi reviewed the chapter one day and found a letter handed over by Liu Wentai.

He was surprised to find that the civil officials had appointed the judges of the Tai Hospital without his consent.

What's even more infuriating is that the person appointed by the civil officials is Liu Wentai, who killed his own father and framed Wang Shu!

It stands to reason that Emperor Hongzhi should be sold out, Long Xiao, and the quality of the second company.

More, more, more strange things are here again.

Emperor Hongzhi chose not to mention this matter. Liu Wentai was safe and steady, and then he was sentenced by the court.

One strange incident is an accidental event, and three strange things must have hidden secrets.

It's a pity that Chang Feng neither knows the truth hidden behind it, nor does he dare to check it.

I don't know the history books.

This truth will be reasoned and reverie by future generations.

Liu Wentai has a good relationship with both internal officials and civil officials. He had first-hand information about Emperor Hongzhi's physical condition, and he had already leaked Emperor Hongzhi's illness to internal officials and civil officials.

Whether it is the three giants of the ceremonial supervisor, the eight tigers, or the three cabinet elders and ministers of various ministries, they all know that the mandate of Emperor Hongzhi is not long.

Soon after the emperor's mandate, the crown prince Zhu Houzhao became a fragrant dumpling. Everyone wants to put a foot in the East Palace and seek future power.

The factory guard side can't be vulgar.

On this day, Qian Neng happily found Chang Feng and Qian Ning.

Qian Neng said: "The Ministry of Rites just got a treasure knife from the Japanese State Tribute, saying that it is a four-carcass cut, extremely sharp, and it will be broken when you blow it." ”

"I cut off the Hu of the Ministry of Rites and asked for this treasure knife."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes good blades. The two of you immediately went to the East Palace and presented this sword to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on behalf of the factory guards. ”

Chang Feng said: "Cheng, I'll go into the palace with Qian Ning." ”

Chang Feng came out of the brocade clothes and came to the East Palace. Qian Ning followed him with a knife case.

Offering a knife to welcome the prince is such a thing, and the factory guard dares to do it.

If an ordinary official offered a sword, I am afraid that as soon as he walked to the gate of the palace, he would be taken by the Han generals, saying that he had entered the palace with a sword and plotted against him.

Factory guards are different. General Dahan was originally part of the factory guard.

Chang Feng entered the East Palace and saw a scene that surprised him.

In front of the East Palace, there are two god cards. One side of the god card is Tai Grandpa's, and the other side of the god card is Kong Sheng's.

Fourteen-year-old prince Zhu Houzhao knelt in front of the two gods.

His three teachers, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, and Yang Tinghe, did not kneel with him, but stood behind Zhu Houzhao.

The prince kneels, but the courtier stands?

It just so happened that Liu Jin, the steward of the East Palace, walked to Chang Feng's side.

Chang Feng asked, "What's going on?" ”

Liu Jin lowered his voice: "Mr. Li, Xie, and Yang are punishing His Highness for kneeling!" ”

Chang Feng's complexion changed: "What? They're so bold. Because of what? ”

Liu Jin replied: "It's because of a strategy." ”

It turned out that a few days ago, Li Dongyang left a topic for Zhu Houzhao, writing a policy on "the emperor must have a key way to rule the world".

Zhu Houzhao let himself go and wrote a policy that the three gentlemen could not tolerate.

The general content of the policy thesis is that the foundation of stability in the world lies in the army. The Son of Heaven needs to take charge of the army. The civil administration of the army is infinitely harmful, which will lead to the story of Jingkang.

This is a naked challenge to the system of civilian officials leading troops after the Orthodox Dynasty!

Li, Xie, and Yang boasted that they were the prince's teachers. In their opinion, the prince of heaven and earth is a teacher. The three of us are second to your own father, and we are your wild fathers.

Before you ascended the throne, you shouted that you wanted to take away the military power from the civilian officials?

If you ascend the throne, you won't be able to rebel against God! Where do we three wild daddies go?

Hit the child as soon as possible, and set rules as soon as possible.

So Li Dongyang scolded Zhu Houzhao's article for not making sense. said that if it weren't for the civil official Yu Qian who was ordered to lead the troops to defend the capital, the Ming Dynasty would have died early.

The emperor himself takes charge of the army and only leads to the story of the civil fort!

Zhu Houzhao was rebellious in his youth and refuted Li Dongyang: In the Song Dynasty, civil officials ruled the army, which led to the disorganization of the army and low combat effectiveness. How does the sir explain?

Li Dongyang did not reason with Zhu Houzhao. Rather, it shows an attitude of shock: the opposite, the opposite. When a student dares to question the teacher! It's just a big rebellion!

Li Dongyang immediately asked Emperor Hongzhi for an edict, to the effect that the prince was stubborn. The three of us can't teach anymore. You should be smart.

Emperor Hongzhi was sick and replied: Please don't resign from the three gentlemen, please discipline the prince strictly.

Good! What Li Dongyang wants is the words "strict discipline"! This is a holy decree, and the emperor asked us to discipline you strictly.

So, the three teachers punished the prince for kneeling.

Both internal and civil officials knew that Zhu Houzhao would not be long before he ascended the throne. But their attitude towards Zhu Houzhao is diametrically opposed.

The attitude of the internal officials is: try to welcome the prince as much as possible, do what he likes, and invite the prince's pet.

The attitude of the civil officials is: hit the child as soon as possible! It is necessary to set rules for the prince before he becomes the Son of Heaven, so that he can form a masochistic path dependence that is suppressed by civil officials.

It's early autumn, and the autumn tiger is still fierce. Under the scorching sun, Zhu Houzhao's forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

It was not pleasant to kneel in front of the tablets of Taizu and Kong Sheng.

To put it mildly, Zhu Houzhao grew up watching Changfeng. Chang Feng was very distressed.

So Chang Feng stepped forward and interceded with Li Dongyang: "Mr. Li." It was too hot. Your Highness is at fault, and you have taught and enlightened it. ”

"Why do you want to kneel under the sun? His Highness is the foundation of the country. If there is a mistake in the country's capital"

Chang Feng never expected that Li Dongyang had no scruples about so many years of friendship. He didn't care about Chang Feng's kindness in helping him enter the cabinet.

Li Dongyang said coldly: "Mr. teaches students, how can you allow domestic slaves to talk too much? ”

Chang Feng was stunned. House slaves? Oh, it turns out that after so many years, in the eyes of your Mr. Li, I am still just a lowly house slave!

Xie Qian mended the knife: "It is Mr. Donggong's duty to teach the prince. There is no room for house slaves to point fingers. ”

Even Yang Tinghe, who fought side by side with Chang Feng and You Tianjue in the Yongning Acropolis, did not help Chang Feng.

Yang Tinghe said: "Elder Li Ge and Elder Xie Ge are right. Brother Chang, this is not your business. ”

Chang Feng didn't know what to say for a while. These three are now in power, and it is no good to tear their faces with them.

At this moment, Qian Ning let out a loud shout: "Three bastards! Do you really think you're a dish? Dare to punish His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for kneeling! ”

Li Dongyang asked, "What are you?" Dare to insult Mr. Donggong and be the elder of the court? ”

Qian Ning said angrily: "You don't know who Lao Tzu is!" ”

After speaking, Qian Ning walked to Zhu Houzhao's side and helped him up: "Minister, the commander of the Jinyi Guard knows that Qian Ning is too late to save him!" Please forgive your sins. ”

Zhu Houzhao held Qian Ning's hand as if grasping a life-saving straw. He looked at Qian Ning with grateful eyes: "Qian Qing."

Xie Qian shouted: "It's the opposite! The house slave dared to flatter! Stop the Collector from disciplining the Prince! ”

Li Dongyang said calmly: "Qian Ning, you have to pay the price for what you say and do today!" ”

Chang Feng hurriedly played a round: "Two, Qian Ning is also the protector of the master. ”

Li Dongyang said: "Chang Feng, don't blame us for not giving you face this time." Qian Ning insulted the ministers, and we will seek justice in front of the emperor in this matter. ”

Li Dongyang turned his head to Xie Qian and Yang Tinghe and said, "Let's go, go to Qianqing Palace." ”

The three of them left the East Palace straight and went to the Qianqing Palace to complain about Diao.

Zhu Houzhao said: "Qian Ning, it's better to kneel alone." The three of them are not easy to mess with. The Emperor listened to them. You can't fight them. ”

Qian Ning smiled: "Your Highness rest assured. I'm not afraid! Chang Ye and I are your house slaves. It's our job to take care of you. ”

Qian Ning said to Chang Feng again: "Master Chang, you just recommended to the emperor last year, and I was promoted to the right co-intellectual. ”

"I'm going to live up to your expectations this time. I expect that in a moment those three men will have a decree to disgrace my official hat. ”

"Weizhong's matter, Qian Ning can't help you in the future!"

Chang Feng Zhengse said: "Qian Ning, don't worry." If I can't even protect you, I'll be in vain for 20 years. ”

Inside the dormitory of the Qianqing Palace.

Emperor Hongzhi was half-lying on the sickbed. Empress Zhang served him decoction on the side.

Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, and Yang Tinghe knelt in front of him in turn.

Li Dongyang said: "Your Majesty, Qian Ning villain!" The twist is flattering, and it will cause chaos in the future. ”

"Please ask the emperor to issue an order immediately and ask Qian Ning to be dismissed!"

Xie Qian mended the knife: "Your Majesty, although Qian Ning is not a eunuch, he is Wang Zhen, Shang Ming and the like!" Please ask the emperor to punish him severely to prevent future troubles. ”

Emperor Hongzhi coughed a few times, and then said: "Qian Ning, that person I know, not yet. Ahem. ”

Li Dongyang said: "If the emperor connives, traitors and villains. The minister will resign as a cabinet member and return to his hometown! ”

Xie Qian said: "The same is true of the minister!" ”

The two elders both said that they were going to pick a son. Yang Ting and this reserve cabinet elder had to reconsider: "The same is true for the ministers." ”

This is a naked threat! Civil officials threaten the emperor!

Emperor Hongzhi was terminally ill and lacked energy. All the government was entrusted to the civil officials and important ministers.

How could he let Li, Xie, and Yang resign?

Emperor Hongzhi had no choice but to say, "Okay." Interrogated Qian Ning from his post and severely punished him. ”

As Channing expected!

In fact, there is a reason why Qian Ning, such a sleek person, tore his face with the three pavilion elders in person.

He has many eyes and ears in the palace. I know that the crown prince Zhu Houzhao is very disgusted with the so-called "discipline" of gentlemen.

He was gambling, betting that Li Dongyang and the three of them would not kill him this time.

As long as he can't be killed, let him hold out until the crown prince ascends the throne. Then he is the one who has come out for the new emperor.

By then, monstrous authority would not be at your fingertips?

It can be said that today Qian Ning provoked a head-on conflict between the factory guards and civilian officials.
