As soon as Chang Feng revealed his identity, Xia Ru was even more afraid.

In Gyeonggi, who hasn't heard of the notoriety of the butcher of Jinyiweichang?

Civil officials say that often butchers kill people without blinking, one to ten, ten to hundred, to spread falsehood. Spread to the people, Chang Feng was rumored to be a bloody demon who ate fresh human flesh every day.

Xia Ru trembled with fright, and almost came out with feces and urine. He craned his neck and said, "Chang, Changdu will spare his life." ”

Chang Feng was confused: "What kind of life?" I'm here to catch up with you! ”

Xia Ru was stunned: "Don't laugh at it." You are a big man in the court, you don't know the grass people, what are you talking about? ”

Chang Feng deceived Xia Ru: "Brother Xia, although we don't know each other, our ancestors are good friends!" ”

"Don't be afraid, please sit down. Come on, set the wine! ”

Chang Feng comes to Xia's house to bring his own wine and food. A flag-bearer carries a food box full of delicious food and wine.

There is a stone table in the courtyard of the Xia family. The men put the food and drinks on the stone table.

Chang Feng said: "Brother Xia, let's talk while eating." ”

This will not be rectified for Xia Ru. The big man in the court often butchers and I have a small landowner drinking and talking? Still a mouthful of a dude?

Chang Feng personally poured Xia Ru a glass of wine: "The fifth ancestor of your mansion is Mr. Xia Yan Guangxia?" In the early days of the Hongwu Dynasty, he served as the prefect of Suzhou and participated in the politics of Fujian? ”

Xia Ru nodded: "Yes." ”

Chang Feng clapped his hands: "Sure enough!" My fifth ancestor Chang Ge was a Yiluan Si Qianhu in the early days of the Hongwu Dynasty. I had a fateful friendship with my ancestor Xia Yanguang. We are cordial brothers. ”

The wind is.

His ancestor Chang Ge did know Xia Yanguang, the ancestor of Xia Ru. However, it is not a "fateful" friendship, but a "life-taking" friendship.

During the period of Wu Wangfu, the Gongwei Division was set up to do secret errands for Zhu Yuanzhang, the king of Wu. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was changed to Yiluan Division, and then to the Governor's Mansion, the Pro-Army Governor's Mansion, and the Jinyi Guard.

In a word, Yiluan Division is the predecessor of Jinyiwei.

After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there were two factions in the court. One faction is the Huaixi Party composed of Hong Wuye's old brothers. One faction is the Zhedong Party headed by Liu Bowen and Song Lian.

The Huaixi Party is a proud soldier. Most of the party in eastern Zhejiang are literati from Jiangnan families.

At first, Grandpa Tai used the East Zhejiang Party to balance the Huaixi Party.

Later, the grandfather found out that the group of dog literati in the Zhedong Party used him, the emperor, as a monkey.

These Jiangnan literati advised Grandpa Tai all day long that "the people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light".

Mencius, who said this, was a native of the Warring States period of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

The people of Zhou were divided into two categories, one was the Chinese and the other was the savage.

Those who live in the city have status, land, and literacy. To put it bluntly, the Chinese people are the gentry class at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty.

Savages, living in the countryside, have no status, no land, and are illiterate. To put it bluntly, it was the poor people at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty.

In Mencius's time, the people were the people, and the savages were not the people. The essence of "the people are precious" is actually "the gentry are precious".

The party in eastern Zhejiang has been waving the banner of "the people are precious, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light" all day long to safeguard the interests of the gentry.

They regarded Zhu Yuanzhang, the middle-aged grandfather who was illiterate when he was young and coarse and literate, as a big old and rough emperor. Playing word games in the song, the hidden buttons; When enforcing the decree, the yang is in violation.

Can the grandfather, who pretends to be a poor person in his heart, endure it?

Don't you always use Mencius's words as a reason to help the gentry exploit the people? Then I made an order to move the Mencius tablet out of the Confucian Temple!

Later, Taizu sent Liu Bowen, the leader of the Zhedong Party, home, and used Yiluan Si to investigate the lawlessness of Zhedong Party officials.

At the beginning, Xia Yanguang was guilty of being a regular singer. was caught by Chang Ge and entered the Yiluan Division, except for fighting, he almost didn't die.

Later, the Xia family spent a lot of money to dredge Hu Weiyong, and Xia Yanguang was released from the Yiluan Division.

This past came to Chang Feng's mouth, and it turned out to be a "fateful friendship".

Chang Feng said: "Chang Feng is with his brother in Shuntian, and he has always lost his closeness. ”

Xia Ru hurriedly said: "Ah, the grass people have been looking up to Changdu for a long time. It's just that there is a huge disparity in identity, and second, there is no fate, and I have never visited him. ”

Chang Feng looked around and looked at the courtyard of the Xia family: "Brother Shi is really poor. ”

Then Chang Feng glanced at a wrestler. Lux placed the tray covered with red cloth on the stone table.

Chang Feng lifted the red cloth, and there were two gold ingots in the tray.

Chang Feng said with a smile: "After being able to find the ancestors' friendships, it is really fateful. I have no respect, I have a hundred taels of gold, and the world brother has the right to take it. This gorgeous residence in Daxing County is really inhabitable. In the future, our two families will communicate with each other, and it will be inconvenient to be separated by the city wall. ”

"I have an old house in Nancheng Donkey Hangzi Hutong. Two into two rooms, although not spacious but also clean. and gave it to the world's brothers. When my brother moved there, it was easier for me to catch up with my brother. ”

Xia Ru said in his heart: My sky! This is really the ancestral tomb smoking, no, the ancestral tomb was struck by lightning! The celebrity in front of the emperor actually made friends with me! Isn't the Xia family going to be developed in the future?

However, Xia Ru was still greedy: "When we meet for the first time, how can I ask for my brother's gold and mansion?" ”

Chang Feng was anxious: "My life is good, just like a half-brother!" If you want to shirk, you will see the outside! ”

Chang Feng was warm and difficult, but Xia Ru had no choice but to be disrespectful.

Coincidentally, Xia Ru's daughter Xia Dongyue walked out of the boudoir of the wing house to wash her face. Seeing that there were outsiders, Xia Dongyue flashed back to the room.

Chang Feng glanced towards the side of the side house: "Yo, brother, you still have a daughter!" ”

Xia Ru, the old climber, really doesn't want to be the other in order to climb to the powerful.

He actually said: "Chang Dudu, my little girl is fifteen years old. Although it can't be called a sinking fish and a goose, and a shy flower in the closed moon, it can be regarded as a positive week. I think she's just the right age for you. Why don't I promise you and make you a concubine? When the nameless outer house is also completed! ”

Chang Feng scolded in his heart: A fifteen-year-old girl is as old as a forty-year-old man? Lao Xia is a loss, you can say it. You're really a villain who climbs the dragon and the phoenix. But it's okay, I'm afraid you don't want to climb the dragon and the phoenix!

Chang Feng waved his hand again and again: "If it doesn't work, it won't work." We are half-brothers. Your father is my father, your mother is my mother, your daughter is my daughter, and your wife is. Your wife. ”

"How can a father marry his daughter as a concubine in this world? Isn't that incestuous anymore? ”

Xia Ru said: "Could it be that Changdu Governor dislikes the little girl as a country girl?" ”

Chang Feng said: "Where to speak." My good niece and nephew is beautiful, blue-hearted, picturesque, icy and jade, bright eyes and bright teeth, and graceful, just like a hibiscus out of the water." (Note: Look, the author will not only be ditched and lost, but also bubbling)

"She's fifteen years old, and I, the uncle of the world, have to find a good family for her!"

Xia Ru was overjoyed: Who is the governor of Changdu? The big red man around the emperor! People associate with dignitaries. If he is willing to be a matchmaker, I can be a high-ranking and dignitary!

Xia Ru's pattern is smaller.

Chang Feng clapped his hands. A group of wrestlers around him moved three feet away.

Chang Feng lowered his voice: "Brother Shi." The emperor is in the middle of the election. In my opinion, why don't you let your niece participate in the selection? I have my own way to make sure she at least gets into the selection. ”

"After entering the Guanxuan, she can at least be the emperor's Zhaoyi or Jieyu. If she is lucky enough to enter the third choice, she will become the imperial concubine, and may even become the queen! ”

Xia Ru was dumbfounded: "Chang Dudu said that the little girl may become the queen." And I will become the ruler of the Ming Dynasty? ”

Chang Feng nodded.

Although Xia Ru had the intention to climb the high branches, he maintained a trace of reason: "I'm afraid. Hard, right? ”

Chang Feng smiled: "It's not difficult at all!" You know what? It's the dog who is in charge of the post-election matters! ”

Xia Ru knelt down to Chang Feng with a "puff pass": "Chang Dudu's kindness to the Xia family is really like a surging river, and it is like the Yellow River flooding out of control. ”

"Chang Dudu is simply the reborn parent of the grass people!"

Chang Feng hurriedly helped Xia Ru up: "Don't." We are the best, why bother to see the outside like this. As I said, your daughter is my daughter. As. Let my niece recognize me as my father-in-law? Let's kiss and kiss, break the bones and tendons! ”

Xia Ru said: "Chang Du Du really raised the little girl. I'm going to prepare a thing to worship my relatives. Then I will find relatives from all over the country to be witnesses. ”

Xia Ru can't store two taels of oil in his stomach. Asking relatives to be witnesses is to raise eyebrows in front of relatives: Look! My daughter recognized the celebrity around the emperor as her father-in-law. My family has been developed ever since!

Chang Feng said: "The matter of recognizing her as a righteous daughter must not be publicized." The relationship between our father-in-law and daughter is known by God and the earth, you know and I know that our daughter knows. ”

"If it spreads, some people will say that I cheated for personal gain and got my goddaughter into the queen selection. My head can be saved, and I have a death-free paper coupon from the emperor. Xia Jia. I'm afraid I'm going to punish the Nine Clans! ”

When Xia Ru heard the words "Zhu Jiu Clan", he was first trembling with fright.

However, as soon as he thought that he might become a relative of the emperor, he had the courage to swallow the sky.

Xia Ru said: "I understand. I'll keep it a secret from my little girl. Never make a statement. ”

Chang Feng clapped his hands: "Oh, good!" Now I have a good daughter! Do you have incense sticks in your home? ”

Xia Ru replied: "Yes, yes." ”

Chang Feng said: "The ritual of worshipping the relatives is simple, burn incense and candles to worship the sky, and then let her give me a bowl of tea." ”

Then Chang Feng ordered his subordinates in a loud voice: "All exit the hospital." ”

A group of robes received the order and withdrew from the hospital.

A moment later, the simple ceremony of recognizing relatives ended. The shy girl Xia Dongyue became the righteous daughter of Changfeng.

Chang Feng smiled: "Good girl." I didn't bring you a welcome gift this time. I only have one son under your godmother's knees, and I always dream of a smart daughter like you. ”

"Tomorrow, I'll ask your godmother to come and give you some head jewelry as a gift. You go back to the boudoir first, and I have something to say to your father. ”

Xia Dongyue obediently left the yard and returned to the boudoir.

Chang Feng said: "Tomorrow, let you come to the Guibao Mansion first, send her some high-quality clothes, head jewelry, and then teach her some court etiquette." ”

"I'll send someone to help you move in a few days. Moved to Nancheng Donkey Hangzi Hutong. ”

Xia Ru is grateful again.

The next day, all the ladies of the Chang family set out! Liu Xiaoyan went out of the city with a whole carriage of gifts for her righteous daughter. Mrs. Nine, Chang Ponu's wife Li Ping'er, and You Jingwu's wife Yan Jiao also followed.

The little family that grew up in the countryside Jasper Xia Dongyue has never seen this battle?

However, the godmother, the little lady and the two sisters-in-law hit her off at first sight and were very cordial. In addition, they brought Xia Dongyue a bunch of Suzhou-Hangzhou silk, gold and silver jewelry, rouge gouache and the like. Xia Dongyue really regarded them as relatives that day.

Changfu.

Chang Feng sat opposite Chang Po Nu and drank tea.

Chang Feng smiled: "Three women in one play, not to mention that there are four in our family?" The four women all went to Daxing County, and the house was really deserted. ”

Chang Ponu said: "Dad, so far, we have selected a total of sixty-seven women. Three of them are extraordinarily preferential and are considered righteous daughters by you. Do you think any of them will be crowned queen? ”

Chang Feng recognized the righteous girl, that is not a casual recognition.

He first ordered Jinyiwei to go to the countryside and asked around which fellow had a beautiful daughter.

Then he ordered someone to squat and peek and draw a small picture.

In the end, sixty-seven women were selected in the primary election. According to the best of the portraits, three people were selected. Chang Feng personally visited the door and recognized these three people as righteous daughters.

Chang Feng said: "In my opinion, Xia Dongyue is the most likely to stand out. Your mother said that the emperor likes women with melon seed faces but are not tall. ”

It is no exaggeration to say that Emperor Zhengde was raised by Liu Xiaoyan.

After Emperor Zhengde was thirteen years old, he became interested in women. I always take a few more glances at the melon-seeded and not tall palace maids in Kunning Palace.

All this was seen by Liu Xiaoyan.

Chang Ponu said: "We can control the five levels of audition, primary selection, re-selection, selection, and palace selection in front." It's not easy to say about the sixth level of selection, the emperor has to choose it himself. ”

"How can we ensure that our people will be selected by the emperor to enter the seventh level and choose the third?"

Chang Feng smiled slyly: "Test you, what are the two things that the emperor likes to do the most." ”

Chang Ponu blurted out: "What kind of exam question is this?" The child grew up with the emperor, can you still know this? The emperor is good at riding and hunting, and the second is good at patrolling. ”

Chang Feng smiled: "The emperor likes to go out on patrol in micro-clothes. The opportunity is here! ”

"All men in the world are the same, cheap. If you don't smell when you send it to your mouth, you must take it yourself. ”

"We worked hard to send Baal's beauty pageant to the palace, and it was this and that, just like sending a woman to the emperor's mouth. The emperor will not pay special attention to any woman. ”

"If the emperor went out on patrol, he encountered a ruffian hooligan plotting against the beautiful girl Xia Dongyue. The emperor came to the rescue, and the hero saved the beauty"

Chang Ponu patted his brain: "High, it's really high, it's taller than Gaojiazhuang!" If you want to talk about the sidelines, you are really the best in the middle. ”

Chang Feng frowned: "Why do I hear that you seem to be scolding me?" ”

Chang Ponu smiled: "Hehe, where can I be." How dare I scold my own father, isn't that going to be struck by five thunderbolts from the sky? ”

Chang Feng said: "Immediately the second dragon raised its head in February." The folk want to carry out the ritual of 'lifting the dragon', and there is also a temple fair, which is very lively. When you enter the palace these days, you will take the emperor out on the second day of February to make up for the excitement of the people. The emperor must gladly agree. ”

Chang Ponu said: "It's a piece of cake." As soon as he said that the micro-service was on patrol, the emperor's eyes were rounder than anyone else. ”

Chang Feng said again: "I'll ask Basha to find a few ruffians." He was born in Xiangxi Lane, and he is very familiar with the ruffians in the capital. When the time comes, cooperate with us to play a scene that teases Xia Dongyue. ”

Chang Po Nu said: "After the matter is completed, will these ruffians be wiped out?" ”

Chang Feng said: "Don't worry about dirty things, don't ask." Daddy doesn't want any dirty blood on you. Dad has killed countless people in his life, and he can't wash away the dirty blood, so it's not bad. ”

Chang Ponu asked again: "What about the batch of women recommended by Father-in-law Liu?" ”

Chang Feng said: "One hundred people will be selected, and fifty-five places will be given to Liu Jin." We have a plan to save the United States with heroes, and there is a chance that Xia Dongyue will become the queen. Let Liu Jin recommend a few more concubines, Yi, and Jie. ”

Chang Ponu echoed: "Yes. On the surface, I still have to give face to my father-in-law Liu. ”

The father and son have discussed it properly, and everything is ready, just wait for February 2.
