Emperor Zhengde pretended to be sick and left the imperial gate.

Liu Jian said: "Everyone, since the emperor is sick, let's not go to the Qianqing Palace today to disturb his rest." Tomorrow morning, if the emperor does not issue an order to let Chang Feng attack the lord, we will kneel and admonish, until we kneel to death! ”

The most old-fashioned, simplest and most effective way for civil officials to suppress the emperor is to kneel and admonish.

When kneeling and admonishing, civil officials occupy the natural moral high ground - the real Ming monarch should be as good as the stream. Only the king of the ruins will ignore the advice of his courtiers.

There is not much time left for Changfeng, only one day.

Chang Feng walked in front of Liu Jian. He bowed his hand to Liu Jian and the heads of civil officials: "Thank you, thank you for your love!" ”

Liu Jian said with a smile: "For the country, it is the duty of loyal ministers." Chang Dudu Governor rest assured, the sixth generation of Xing'an Hou is none other than you! It's up to us. ”

Chang Feng scolded in his heart: I really thank you! Thank you for your paw! It's really embarrassing, dig holes for me everywhere!

Chang Feng returned to Jinyiwei and pondered on how to avoid pits.

In fact, the pit dug by Liu Jian is not invulnerable. It didn't take long for the wind to figure out how to deal with it.

At this time, Wang Shouren, the director of the Wuxuan Division of the Military Department across Jinyiwei Street, came to visit.

Wang Shouren said with a smile: "I congratulate Master Chang Shuai, he is about to inherit the marquis!" ”

Chang Feng waved his hand slightly: "Hugh wants to make fun of me." In the early dynasties, weasels gave New Year's greetings to chickens. What kind of heart does the weasel have in An, isn't it clear in Shouren's heart? ”

Wang Shouren said: "In my opinion, it is better to plan the plan." Isn't Jinyiwei known as 'as long as Chang Shuai Ye lives in the world for one day, Jinyiwei's surname is Chang'? ”

"The ownership of Jinyiwei's power has never looked at whether there is a formal official position. And it depends on who the emperor wants to hand over the power of defense. ”

"Don't say you're a marquis. Even if you are clothed, as long as the emperor asks you to take charge of Jinyiwei, you will still be the treasurer of Jinyiwei. ”

"Don't be a marquis. When the time comes, Jinyiwei will still be your Chang Shuaiye, oh no, Chang Hou Ye has the final say. ”

Chang Feng waved his hand: "No." I'm good at saying. The key is to break the slave! If he wants to become the prince of the marquis, ten years of hard work and ambition to serve the country will be in vain. ”

"His mission to patrol the salt in the south will also be abandoned halfway. When it comes to this layer, I definitely can't ask for the title of marquis. ”

Wang Shouren sat down opposite Chang Feng unceremoniously: "I missed the calculation." ”

Chang Feng said again: "Besides, I, the fifth-ranked little sect master, attacked the marquis. It's also not fair to the above four relatives. ”

Wang Shouren asked, "Then how does Brother Chang plan to deal with it?" ”

Chang Feng smiled slightly: "Simple." Tonight, I invited Fat Xu to drink. Something happens in the meantime. I also invited Brother Shouren to the banquet to be a witness. ”

Wang Shouren said: "It seems that Brother Chang has become a bamboo in his chest. ”

Chang Feng smiled: "I still have to arrange the investigation of the houses of the criminals in the salt case." Brother Shouren will go back to the military headquarters for the time being, and we will see you tonight. ”

Wang Shouren got up: "Okay." Chang Shuai Ye was busy first. ”

Half an hour later, Chang Feng summoned Qian Ning, Shi Wenyi, Zhang Cai, and You Jingwu to discuss the matter.

Chang Feng said: "The charges and punishments of more than 60 officials have been decided. All of them have a clause attached to it, 'By their home'. We must do this errand well. ”

Excused, a kind of urbane saying that has been copied.

Qian Ning said with a smile: "The nephew of the broken slave is charging in Yangzhou, and we will raid the house in the back." Chang Ye is right, the errand of copying the house must be done well. Otherwise, he will live up to the hard work of his nephew. ”

Chang Feng instructed: "The errand of raiding the house is still the responsibility of inspecting the thousand households." When the house was raided, the six of us went down to inspect each other. Be sure to keep an eye on it. ”

"This is the most important errand that the emperor handed over to Jinyiwei after he ascended the throne. We have to show our faces in front of the emperor. Don't show your ass. ”

Shi Wenyi said worriedly: "Handsome man, let me say more." The civil officials of the early dynasty were menacing, and the most important thing you should think about now is how to keep your official position. ”

Zhang Cai said: "Yes, handsome." Liu Jian, Xie Qian and others can be punished. I want to force you to lose your official position and become an idle nobleman. They came prepared. You have to be good at it, and you don't take it lightly. ”

Chang Feng smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about me about this. I've got a way to deal with it. You just need to do a good job of raiding the house now. Remember, if you don't have any money, you won't get a penny into the treasury. It will be handed over directly to Liu Jin and Liu Gonggong and will be included in the internal transportation warehouse. ”

Qian Ning was surprised: "This is the emperor's will?" ”

Chang Feng bowed slightly.

Qian Ning said: "I see." The emperor wants to turn the property of the criminal official into private money. ”

At this time, Jiang Bin came to visit.

In addition to the Eight Tigers, Emperor Zhengde's most trusted henchman is Jiang Bin. Jiang Bin was to Emperor Zhengde what the wind in the first year of Hongzhi was to Emperor Hongzhi.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Jiang Bin has been the only one who eats and sleeps with the emperor.

For Emperor Zhengde, Jiang Bin was not only his righteous son, the eldest son, but also his teacher in military affairs.

The civil officials mistakenly thought that Jiang Bin was the face of Emperor Zhengde, and they really underestimated Emperor Zhengde.

In Emperor Zhengde's plan for the future, Jiang Bin will become his tool to control military power.

Jiang Bin boasted that he was so red that he turned purple. The people of Jinyiwei, except for Chang Feng, no one pays attention to him.

Jiang Bin said: "You all go down first." I have a few words to say to Chang Shuaiye alone. ”

Qian Ning's face turned cold, and he scolded in his heart: Which green onion are you? Is it your turn to command the guards in brocade?

However, on the surface, Qian Ning couldn't offend Jiang Bin: "Master Chang Shuai is arranging important tasks for us. ”

Chang Feng commanded: "That's it, you go down first." ”

After everyone left, Jiang Bin said: "The emperor asked the last general to ask Chang Shuaiye, can you come up with a way to crack it?" ”

Chang Feng said: "Please rest assured, the emperor." It's a small total, what a good way. ”

Jiang Bin actually said: "Master Chang Shuai, don't underestimate the enemy. Civilian officials are adept at power struggles and are not easy opponents to defeat. Besides, when you crack their schemes, don't cause civil officials to kneel and admonish. The emperor has the most headache for civil officials. ”

Jiang Bin's tone was like pointing out the country in front of the old sparrow Chang Feng in Dongting Lake.

Chang Feng said: "I naturally know this. ”

In the evening, the residence of Li Dongyang, the second assistant of the cabinet.

Li Dongyang was chatting with his stepson Li Zhaofan over tea.

Thirty years ago, a great monk came to Li Dongyang's house to make a fortune. Li Dongyang was kind-hearted and asked the kitchen to give the great monk a burden of white bread.

The great monk did not take white bread for nothing. Two prophecies were left.

The first prophecy: "You are noble, and you will be a great minister in the future." ”

Li Dongyang thought that the great monk took the white flour bun and said auspicious words, but he didn't take it to heart.

The great monk said the second prophecy: "It's a pity that you are a lonely star in the sky, and you have no heirs in your fate. ”

The second prophecy of the great monk has been fulfilled.

Soon after that, Li Dongyang and his wife Yue had a son, Li Zhaoxian. Just four months after the birth of his eldest son, Yue fell ill and died.

Li Zhaoxian's fate was uncertain. At the age of eighteen, he took the exam and fell ill in the examination room. At the age of twenty-one, he was in the shadow of his father and entered the country to study. At the age of twenty-four, I wrote the test paper by mistake and missed. Before the fourth exam at the age of twenty-seven, it may have been too nervous before the exam, and he died of nervousness, burping and catching a cold. Li Dongyang lost his eldest son.

Li Dongyang and Mrs. Zhu had a second son, Li Zhaotong. When he was ten years old, Li Zhaotong wandered the streets accompanied by four servants. A carriage ran out of control and ran him to death. Li Dongyang also wrote "Er Zhaotong Buried Inscription" in the "Huailu Hall Manuscript" to commemorate.

Li Dongyang and his concubine had a concubine, Li Wusun. He died of illness the night before his first birthday. Li Dongyang specially wrote a poem "Crying Afternoon": The child was not satisfied with the sun, so he made it a lifelong period.

Li Dongyang suddenly found that the great monk's prophecy was too spiritual. It seems that his own son can't be raised. So he succeeded Li Zhaofan, the son of his fourth brother Li Dongming. as heirs.

In short, in terms of inheriting incense, Li Dongyang is a real hard-working person.

However, Li Zhaofan is really angry. The county examination, the government examination, the hospital examination, the township examination, the meeting examination, and the palace examination were all the way down and were on the gold list. Now he is doing six products in Shangbao Division.

Li Zhaofan said: "Father, this time Liu Shoufu and Xie Ge Lao seem to be desperate to cut off Changfeng." In their opinion, Chang Feng is the biggest minions of the Eight Tigers. ”

Li Dongyang smiled bitterly: "Two extremely smart people, why can't they understand a question." ”

"Chang Feng has never been a minion of the Eight Tigers. Rather, it is to contain the shackles of the Eight Tigers. ”

Li Zhaofan patted his brain: "I see." Father, taught. ”

After the tea, You Jingwu came to Li Dongyang's mansion.

He respectfully saluted Li Dongyang: "Mr. Li." My father has a letter for the lower officials to pass it on to you. ”

Li Dongyang asked, "Oh? What letter? ”

You Jingwu said: "Mr. Li can see it at a glance. ”

Li Dongyang opened the letterhead, and after a cursory reading of the contents, he couldn't stop laughing: "It's really commonplace!" That's what he came up with. You tell him that what he's entrusted me with is just a gesture. Wrap it around me. ”

You Jingwu arched his hand: "Then the next official thanked Mr. Li on behalf of his father." ”

Li Dongyang said with a smile: "Children and daughters, what do you want to say about thanks." I didn't want to see my father-in-law and son-in-law forced to become idle nobles. ”

At night, Beicheng, Drunken Immortal Tower.

Zuixian Lou is the most prosperous restaurant in the capital recently, and the people who come and go are either rich or expensive.

Chang Feng, Xu Fatzi, Wang Shouren, and You Jingwu's uncle Yan Song came to the Drunken Immortal Tower.

At a glance, the guys in the Drunken Immortal Building knew that the four of them were extraordinary.

The guy shouted: "Four distinguished guests, please go upstairs to the private room!" ”

Chang Feng waved his hand: "No." We sit in the lobby. ”

The guy was stunned: "The four guest officers are extravagant. Wouldn't it be disgraceful to sit in the hall? ”

Fat Xu took out a piece of broken silver from his sleeve and threw it to the guy. The man's eyes were quick to catch.

Xu Fatzi smiled: "What a quick hand and foot." Don't talk nonsense, we'll sit in the hall. ”

The guy shouted: "Little Uncle Xie reward!" Four distinguished guests, in the hall on the first floor, greeted! ”

Four people sat around the table.

Chang Feng asked Yan Song: "My nephew has been in the office for a few months, and he is still satisfied with his work in the Hanlin Academy?" ”

Yan Song replied: "I'm a bookworm. Entering the Hanlin Temple is like a mouse falling into a rice jar. Very satisfying. ”

Chang Feng said: "Shu Jishi, who was born in the second class of the palace examination, after drilling the book pile in the Hanlin Academy for three years, his promotion is certain. It's just that I don't know if I'll be promoted to the sixth department or a local experience. ”

"My nephew, you have a bright future."

Yan Song said: "I'm not interested in promotion. I only have a soft spot for reading. ”

Twenty-six-year-old Yan Song is an upright, elegant, and arrogant young man.

Xu Fatzi said: "I said Chang Ye, I have been your subordinate in Jinyiwei for more than ten years. This time you attacked the Marquis, and you are going to be under me! I'm the Duke of Jingnan. ”

"Smack!" Chang Feng slapped the table, with an angry look on his face: "The surname Xu, what's so great about you, you are still above me!" I'm you, you're just a good baby! ”

Xu Fatzi directly picked up the tea bowl and fell to the ground with a "snap": "Chang Feng, I am your blood mother!" What's so great about you? You're just a dog raised by the emperor! ”

Chang Feng also picked up the tea bowl and "snapped" and fell: "You will drop the bowl and smash the basin, right?" You look like you don't look like a human, ghost-headed toad-eyed. Those who lack virtue are stabbed, and there is no one for you to dig for forty miles! ”

Xu Fatzi raised his voice: "You're all right?" You bear with flowers don't look like a person! You're just a royal dog! Dogs go thousands of miles to eat! ”

Yan Song was confused by the sudden change, and he secretly said in his heart: Don't you all say that Jinyi Wei Changye and Dingguo Gong are good enough to wear a pair of pants? Why did you quarrel like this without saying a word.

Wang Shouren's face was very calm. Calmly drinking tea, he seemed to know the inside story.

The quarrel between the two attracted the attention of all the guests in the hall to this side.

Chang Feng scolded: "Fat Xu, if I were a dog, what would you be?" You're a dog in charge of elephant breeding! ”

"Okay, you are a natural rice bucket, in the years when the elephants were raised by elephant taming, the elephants have lost weight, and you have gained a lot of weight! I really didn't expect that after the dignified King of the Mountains, he would steal the elephant's food! ”

Xu Fatzi scolded: "I'm your mother!" Butcher, what else would you do besides kidnapping tickets, killing people, beating sticks, and raiding your home? If the imperial court lets you attack the Marquis of Xing'an, it will be like putting a bubble of stinky shit on the temple! ”

Chang Feng scolded: "Isn't my mother your grandmother? The taste of Dingguo Mansion is so unique? You're all right to play with your grandmother? ”

The quarrel between the two. It's just a shrew scolding the street.

Fat Xu sneered: "Wrong." What I want to do most in my life is not your mother, but your wife Liu Xiaoyan. Tut-tut! If your wife signs a sign in Yihong Mansion, it will be worth at least three hundred and two nights! ”

Chang Feng's eyes widened angrily: "You try it again?" ”

Xu Fatzi slapped the table: "Try it!" If your wife signs a sign in Yihong Mansion, it will be worth at least three hundred and two nights! ”

Chang Feng rounded his arm, "Smack!" A slap slapped Xu Fatzi in the face.

Xu Fatzi made a gesture and went under the table, splashing and rolling: "Chang Feng, you're finished!" You're in trouble! ”

"Witness, young and old! The head of the brocade guard beat the duke of the dynasty! Is there still a royal law? Is there still a big Ming law? ”

"Ahh I'm dizzy, I'm dizzy, uh I'm dizzy. ”

The farce of the Drunken Immortal Building attracted hundreds of diners to watch.

It's not just a farce, it's a farce.

Two quarters of an hour later, Chang Feng and Yan Song walked out of the Drunken Immortal Building first. Yan Song strongly persuaded: "Uncle family, the gentleman doesn't do anything." What's more, you fought as a duke of the dynasty. ”

Chang Feng's expression turned into a smile: "I fought as a duke tonight." My nephew, I need you to participate in the impeachment as a Hanlin official. ”

Yan Song was stunned: "Shall I join you?" References to what? ”

Chang Feng replied: "I don't respect the etiquette law, and I am bold." slapped the duke in public in the restaurant. ”

Yan Song was even more confused.

Chang Feng patiently explained: "Do you know that someone in the court wants to take the title of marquis to forcibly take my power?" ”

Yan Song nodded: "Yes." This matter has long been spread by the Hanlin Academy. ”

Chang Feng said the most crucial sentence: "According to the ancestral system, those who commit crimes are not allowed to attack the lord." ”

Yan Song can become the second in the second class (fifth in the country), and he is naturally an extremely smart person. He immediately realized: "It turns out that you and Ding Guogong are acting." ”

Not long after Chang Feng and Yan Song walked on their front feet, Wang Shouren accompanied Xu Fatzi out of the Drunken Immortal Tower.

Xu Fatzi smiled: "Chang Feng, this kid is really a fan!" How I feel like he's not making a show. I didn't know what had offended him before, and he took the opportunity to take revenge! ”

Wang Shouren said half-jokingly: "What Grandpa said just now wasn't what he was talking about, right?" A few words about Mrs. Chang. ”

Xu Fatzi said: "Egg! The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. I have always treated my sister-in-law as if I were my own mother. Besides, can you say what is in your heart? What is said to be the heart's words? ”
