If you want to be caught, you must indulge.

For the next seven days, Emperor Zhengde suffered from severe lovesickness.

As the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, although he was fifteen years old, he had already made a bed, and there were a lot of palace maids who warmed the bed. But in the words of later generations, Emperor Zhengde has not yet had a love experience.

Emperor Zhengde holds the purse of Xia Dongyue in his hand every day, except for being in a daze. In the early dynasties, he was like a wooden man.

was so frightened that Empress Dowager Zhang thought that the eldest child had been suppressed by the civil officials for a long time, and her depressed mood led to stupidity. I found a bunch of imperial doctors to give him a pulse. The result is naturally that there is no disease to be checked and no disease to be treated.

In the past seven days, Emperor Zhengde has not done nothing. His main energy every day is spent scolding Changfeng.

Every morning after the dynasty, Emperor Zhengde always asked Chang Feng to follow him into the Qianqing Palace to inquire about the girl's whereabouts. In order to satisfy Emperor Zhengde's appetite, Chang Feng pushed back and said that no one had been found.

On this day, in the Qianqing Palace.

Emperor Zhengde glared at Chang Feng. Chang Feng knelt on the ground with a sincere and frightened expression.

Emperor Zhengde angrily threw the bronze on the dragon case to the ground, and let out an ancestral dragon roar: "Deceive the sky!" Changfeng, you have been bathing in the emperor's grace for a long time, and you have eaten the emperor's Lu for a long time. In the end? You can't even find a girl? ”

"Oh, I see. It must be that you are perfunctory, derelict in your duties, and did not pay attention to checking! ”

"Ahh If even the man is not reliable, who else can be trusted by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty? ”

Emperor Zhengde lost his temper. Chang Feng finally spoke: "Your Majesty, that girl has been found by our Jinyi Guard!" ”

Emperor Zhengde is a dog-faced, and he will change when he says he will change. Just now, there was still a storm on his face, and as soon as he heard this, the rain immediately cleared. The mouth is cracked like a toad.

Emperor Zhengde was overjoyed: "What? Good uncle, why didn't you say it earlier? ”

Chang Feng had an aggrieved expression: "Your Majesty, since the ministers entered the hall, you are scolding the ministers." I don't dare interrupt your scolding. Wouldn't that be a courtesy? ”

Emperor Zhengde was impatient: "Tell me quickly, what is the girl's surname, how old is Fang, where does she live, can she have a marriage match, and what are your preferences?" ”

Chang Feng smiled: "Your Majesty, guess what? Hey, that girl is in the Ministry of Rites' post-election book! Participated in the queen selection! I'm about to pass the primary! ”

When Emperor Zhengde heard this, it was simply an old lady who drilled the quilt and gave the master a whole time.

His mouth was almost cracking to the base of the back of his ear: "Ah! This is really fate! Tell me what her name is."

Chang Feng arched his hand: "Back to the emperor, this woman's name is Xia Dongyue." She is the daughter of Xia Ru, a gentry from Pangge Zhuang in Daxing County, Beizhili, who is fifteen years old and the same age as the emperor. Its clan is Yingtian, which belongs to the famous family in the south of the Yangtze River. Her sixth family, Xia Yanguang, went to Zhejiang to participate in politics in the Hongwu year. ”

"It's a pity that in Xia Ru's generation, the Xia family has declined. Xia Ru only has 97 acres of thin fields under his name. But Si is a burrow, but Wu Dexin. Although Xia Ru is poor, he has a pure character, is knowledgeable, and accumulates virtue and good deeds in the countryside on weekdays, and saves the poor and suffers. It is respected by the villagers of Pangezhuang as 'Xia Dashanren' and 'Xia Huo Bodhisattva'. ”

"Xia Ru's kindness is not a minister's nonsense. There is a letter of sponsorship submitted by the magistrate of Daxing County as evidence. ”

Emperor Zhengde clapped his hands: "Wow! Good! After the famous family, the family is in the middle, and the head of the Xia family is a well-known and kind person. The Xia family and the royal family couldn't be more suitable! ”

"Let's talk about Xia Dongyue."

Chang Feng replied: "Xia Ru has taught her the fourth female book since she was a child in Xia Dongyue. This summer and winter moon is knowledgeable, good looks, and good morality. Wild cats curled up on the side of the road in winter will shed tears. ”

"It's simply that people are beautiful and kind, and Bodhisattvas have a heart. Your Majesty, there is a way for a daughter to follow her father. The father is a living bodhisattva, and the daughter is naturally also a female bodhisattva. ”

"Oh yes, the minister also found out that after returning home that day in Xia Dongyue, he told his family that she was molested by a ruffian and met a young hero who was in the wind, dashing and dignified, and had strong martial arts."

Chang Feng borrowed the mouth of the summer and winter moon to bring a few high hats to Emperor Zhengde.

Emperor Zhengde was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth: "Ha, am I so good?" This Winter Moon girl is really good for me! ”

Chang Feng continued: "Your Majesty, there is a saying among the people that the camel is still there when it falls down. Although Xia Dongyue is the daughter of a little gentry, her ancestors are famous in the southern capital after all! During the audition, the Ministry of Rites sent someone to ask her what she said. Seeing that her speech and demeanor were generous and gentle. Neither shy nor frivolous. ”

"According to the minister, this is really a godsend. Your Majesty, since you ascended the throne, you have respected God and loved the people, and God has sent down good fortune, so that you can meet such a beautiful woman by chance. If she enters the palace to be a maid and a lady."

Emperor Zhengde waved his small hand and interrupted Chang Feng's words: "Such a beauty, how can you just be a waiter and a lady?" ”

Chang Feng said in a tentative tone: "Does the emperor want to make her a beauty and a talented person?" ”

Emperor Zhengde shook his head: "More than that." ”

Chang Feng pretended to be surprised: "The emperor doesn't want to make her Zhaoyi and Jieyu, right?" Ah, that's a good reward. The Xia family accumulates virtue and does good, in exchange for a Zhaoyi and Jieyu in the family. ”

Emperor Zhengde waved his hand: "More than that." ”

Chang Feng deliberately grew his beak into a duck egg: "Huh? Does the emperor want to make her a concubine or concubine? The ancestral tomb of the Xia family is really smoking! ”

Emperor Zhengde's head shook like a rattle: "More than that." ”

Chang Feng's eyes widened like copper bells: "Ahhh Does the emperor want to make her a concubine? The ancestral tomb of the Xia family is really breathing fire! ”

Emperor Zhengde still shook his head: "More than that." ”

Chang Feng continued to be inexplicably surprised: "Does the emperor want to make her the imperial concubine?" The ancestral tomb of the Xia family was really struck by lightning! ”

Emperor Zhengde said: "Forget it, Ming told your uncle." I plan to make the summer girl the queen. ”

Chang Feng deliberately had a stunned expression, and only spoke after a long time: "Xia, the ancestral tomb of the Xia family has exploded." Your Majesty, it is not a trivial matter to be established. You have to be careful. ”

Emperor Zhengde said: "I heard from the queen mother that when the emperor saw her, he recognized her as the future queen at a glance. For eighteen years, the first emperor was only devoted to his mother. ”

"I am the blood of the emperor, so I believe that men and women fall in love at first sight."

Chang Feng deliberately looked left and right and said to him: "Ah, I fell in love at first sight." The words are from Sima Guang's "Zizhi Tongjian". In the book, there are clouds, and the category of "Lord and General; Crush; It's like a relative."

Emperor Zhengde said: "Uncle, don't be here to get rid of my bookbag and pretend to be confused." I know to you that I am not the only one who has the final say. You're going to help me. ”

At least in the Zhengde Dynasty, it is true that the matter after the establishment is not something that the young emperor can do with a word.

In matters after the establishment, the completeness of the procedure is greater than the emperor's wishes.

Audition, primary selection, re-election, selection, palace selection, observation selection (Jin concubine), selection three, and King James are indispensable for the eight procedures.

Emperor Zhengde said: "As the saying goes, raising soldiers for a thousand days is a time. Didn't I let your father and son be in charge of the election, just to choose a satisfactory queen for me? ”

"Your father and son should at least ensure that Miss Xia enters the palace selection."

From audition to selection, the first four steps are the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites; The palace selection is the responsibility of the eunuch; The Queen Mother makes a decision; The Emperor himself made the decision.

In other words, as long as Changfeng and his son send Xia Dongyue to the palace election, the next thing will be handled by Emperor Zhengde.

Chang Feng agreed: "The emperor can rest assured." The minister must have done this beautifully. ”

Emperor Zhengde suddenly said, "That's right. I plan to send some wealth to the Xia family. The wealth is carried out from the inner warehouse. But the matter after the election has just reached the first step of the audition, and now it is too eye-catching to send things to her family. ”

"Once Mr. Liu and Mr. Xie know, they will definitely be obstructed."

"So be it. You go to Liu Jin, take 5,000 taels of silver from the internal carrier warehouse, 3 horses of Jinling Yunjin, 30 horses of Su embroidery, and 100 horses of high-grade Hangzhou silk, and send them to the Xia family, don't send them in my name. ”

Chang Feng asked: "In whose name is it sent?" ”

Emperor Zhengde said: "You can do it yourself." Just get it delivered. The beauty I fancy has to be the best in the world in terms of food and clothing! ”

Chang Feng's heart blossomed: Haha, since the emperor has ordered you so, don't blame us for often borrowing flowers to offer Buddha and send fake favors!

As a father-in-law, I will send this batch of wealth to my daughter-in-law Xia Dongyue. Such a big bet. The Xia family can't be grateful to us for being always grateful?

Changfeng Lao Liu!

Chang Feng reminded Emperor Zhengde: "Your Majesty, if you look at Miss Xia's matter, you must keep it a secret." No one should be made aware of it. ”

"If the matter of promoting Miss Xia is carried out secretly, it will definitely come to fruition, so that the emperor can get what you want."

"Once leaked out. As you just said, Mr. Liu and Mr. Xie are afraid that they will make a mistake. ”

"The old minister went to Gonggong Liu to move the money, and he must not tell Gonggong Liu the purpose. You need to know that if you don't keep it secret, you will lose your minister, if you don't keep it secret, you will lose your body, and if you don't keep it secret, you will be harmful! ”

Emperor Zhengde smiled: "It is worthy of being the leader of my brocade guard!" To do things is to be meticulous! Even Liu Jin hid it? Good! This is the only way to ensure that nothing goes wrong! ”

Chang Feng arched his hand: "Then the minister is going to run an errand?" ”

Emperor Zhengde smiled: "Go!" If this matter is successful, you will be considered uncle, and you will fulfill my marriage! ”

Chang Feng came to the celebrant duty room. Liu Jin is now in charge of the internal carrier warehouse and is the CFO of the emperor's private money.

Liu Jin smiled: "Little uncle, why are you here?" ”

Chang Feng glanced at Wang Yue, who was sitting in the room, and lowered his voice and said, "Take a step to speak." ”

Today's celebrant has a total of six people with palm prints and pencils.

The palm print is Xiao Jing, and the chief pen is Qian Neng. The two old guys are well versed in the truth that once the son of heaven and a courtier, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the generation is more than the next wave. Since Emperor Zhengde ascended the throne, they have been the shopkeepers and do not take care of things.

Bingbi Liu Jin and Zhang Yong are both members of the Eight Tigers and confidants of Emperor Zhengde. The two of them are one writer and one martial arts. Liu Jin oversees government affairs at the ceremony. Zhang Yong is also in charge of the 12th regiment camp and the pro-army guard.

Bingbi Gu Dayong betrayed Li Guang and took refuge with Liu Jin, and was Liu Jin's confidant. Liu Jin said that is fragrant, and he will echo "I have eaten, I have eaten, it is really more fragrant than meat".

Gu Dayong is also the governor of Dongchang and is the nominal master of Jinyiwei. But with the old qualification of Chang Feng, Jin Yiwei is actually out of the supervision of the East Factory.

The last one is Wang Yue. This person was originally the palm print of the direct palace eunuch, and somehow he hooked up with Liu Jian. was recommended by Liu Jian to serve as the master of ceremonies.

It can be said that Wang Yue is a nail planted by the civil official group in the celebrant supervisor.

Therefore, whether it is the Eight Tigers or Chang Feng, if you want to talk about anything important, you must avoid Wang Yue.

Liu Jin and Chang Feng were the master of ceremonies.

Chang Feng said: "Pass on the emperor's message." You take five thousand taels of silver from the inner transport warehouse, three horses of Jinling cloud brocade, thirty horses of Su embroidery, and one hundred horses of high-quality Hangzhou silk to me. I want to take this batch of wealth to help the emperor on an urgent errand. ”

Liu Jin asked, "What errand?" ”

Chang Feng sighed: "Alas, it stands to reason that as long as we have such a relationship, I won't hide anything from you." But the emperor repeatedly told me that this matter should be kept secret. Even you can't say that."

Liu Jin pretended to be Detective Conan and began to reason: "Such a big money must be given away." The best wealth in the world is the civil servant. I think the emperor wants to buy which civil official on the side of Liu and Xie is for his own use? ”

Chang Feng sloppily said: "Ah, some things are tacit. ”

Liu Jin smiled: "Okay, let's go, let's go to the inner carrier." You order a group of Han generals to transport the wealth out of the palace. ”

Two days later, the south of the city donkey hangzi alley.

The house in the donkey hangzi alley is the legacy left to him by Chang Feng's father, and it belongs to the ancestral house of the Chang family.

Later, Chang Feng made a career and married Liu Xiaoyan. The old man Liu Bingyi generously gave a new house as Changfeng's mansion. The Chang Feng brothers and sisters moved out.

Chang Feng gave the ancestral house to the Xia family this time, and he spared no expense.

The Xia family has already moved over.

Chang Feng took people and drove four carriages to the door of the old mansion. The five big and three thick wrestlers began to carry brand new large boxes into the courtyard.

Xia Ru hurriedly came out to greet him: "Governor Changdu." ”

Chang Feng hurriedly said: "Brother Xia Shi, how many times have you said it, when you see me in the future, just call me Brother Chang!" If you keep doing this, we won't be half-brothers! ”

Xia Ru smiled: "Okay, then I'll take care of it and call you Brother Chang." Brother Chang, what are so many boxes? ”

Chang Feng said: "Let's go into the house and talk." ”

The wrestlers carried a bunch of large boxes to the hall. The hall was suddenly full.

Chang Feng said: "My house is too small. You live first. After a while, I'm afraid the emperor will give you a seven-in-seven-open mansion! ”

Xia Ru looked at the boxes: "Brother Chang, don't sell it." What are these things? ”

Chang Feng said: "Call my good girl." ”

Xia Ru complied and called Xia Dongyue.

Chang Feng began to open the boxes one by one.

The father and daughter of the Xia family, who are small in the small family, were stunned by the contents of the box!

Chang Feng said with a smile: "These two boxes of silver are a total of five thousand taels. You see, it is all twenty taels of inner library ingots, branded with the inner carrier warehouse. Don't worry, these are all given to me by the emperor over the years, and you can spend them boldly. ”

"Ah, these thirty Su embroidery horses make clothes for my good girl."

Xia Dongyue was speechless: "How many sets of clothes do you have to make?" How do I get dressed? ”

Chang Feng said: "Thirty horses is not much!" Two sets of garments for each horse. Thirty horses is only sixty sets. Fifteen sets each in spring, summer, autumn and winter. The daughter of the powerful family in the capital, which one does not have more than a dozen sets of clothes to wear every season? ”

"My righteous daughter of Changfeng can't lose her dignity!"

The father and daughter of the Xia family really looked at Chang Feng with grateful eyes.

Chang Feng said again: "These 100 pieces of Hangzhou silk are the best. In the capital, it is like silver. In the future, the good girl will enter the palace, and the Xia family will be the royal relatives. Inevitably, you have to reward people. These will be used by Brother Xia Shi for future rewards. ”

Xia Ru was about to kneel down for Chang Feng: "Brother Chang, you really don't have to say anything to the Xia family, I'll kowtow to you!" ”

Chang Feng hugged Xia Ru: "Brother kneel younger brother, younger brother is going to thunder and crack in the sky!" Don't do that. I don't want to go out and be hit by five thunderbolts. ”

After a few moments, Chang Feng opened the last box.

Xia Ru's father and daughter stared at the contents of the box, and their eyes were straight!

Chang Feng said with a smile: "Here are three Yunjin from the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau. It was also rewarded by the emperor. I will give it to Winter Moon. ”

"You see, this cloud brocade is as brilliant in color and as beautiful as the clouds in the sky. The materials are exquisite, the patterns are exquisite, and the brocade lines are gorgeous. This thing has always been said to be every inch of money. Shu Jin and Yun Jin are a pill generation! ”

"To tell you the truth, these three cloud brocades are worth three hundred taels of gold! Only such a high-quality brocade is worthy of my good girl Xiao Dongyue. ”

"How about Dongyue, do you like it?"

Xia Dongyue was already in tears at this moment, and "Puff" knelt down for Chang Feng: "My father-in-law said that my brother will thunder when I kneel and my brother will thunder in the sky." The daughter kneeling and the father should always obey the principles of heaven. Daughter Xie Yi's father. Hello, mother-in-law, sister-in-law, sister-in-law, treat me like a family! ”

Chang Feng Zhengse said: "Dongyue, get up, don't kneel!" You are the one who wants to be the queen, except for the emperor and the queen mother, no one is worthy of your kneel! ”

"Bang, bang, bang!" Chang Feng was very excited when he said this, and slapped the table three times.

Xia Ru said: "The matter of our daughter becoming the queen has not been skimmed yet. I'm satisfied that she can enter the palace as a maid and lady."

Chang Feng stretched out his hand and put it on Xia Ru's shoulder: "Brother Shi." A few nights ago, she dreamed that Dongyue was actually her daughter in her previous life. ”

"In order to become the queen in the winter moon, I often scatter all my family wealth. No, even if you gamble the lives of the whole family, you have to let Dongyue fly on the branches and become the golden phoenix of the harem! ”

Xia Ru has lived for more than 40 years, not a fool, but a shrewd small landlord.

He naturally knew that Chang Feng was trying his best to make Xia Dongyue the queen for a purpose.

But Xia Ru was still grateful to Chang Feng. At the very least, Chang Feng chose the Xia family, who had a low status, and chose Xia Dongyue. gave the Xia family the opportunity to become a relative of the emperor.

Xia Ru said word by word: "If Dongyue can really become the queen." The Chang family is the benefactor of the Xia family for ten and one hundred generations! The Xia family will do their best to repay the favor in the future! ”

Chang Feng smiled: "We are already a family, what else are we talking about not repaying our kindness?" ”

Chang Feng is a sixth child. Take the wealth of Emperor Zhengde and give him a favor. made the father and daughter of the Xia family hate to set up an immortal tablet for him, burn incense every day, and kowtow every day.

Out of the summer house. Chito Basha came over.

Basha lowered his voice: "Master Chang, the two scoundrels who helped us act have been."

Basha made a throat-slitting gesture.

Chang Feng nodded slightly: "Well, I know." ”

Chang Feng doesn't kill everyone. Those two ruffians were originally the ones who kicked the widow's door and dug up the grave of the household, except that they did not have a title, these two people were no different from Zhang Heling's brothers.

If you kill such a person, you can do it for the people.

Chang Feng told Basha: "You bring ten old brothers from Xiangxi Lane to protect around this house." Be sure to keep the Winter Moon girl safe. ”

Basha arched his hand: "Don't worry, handsome." ”

Chang Feng returned to the duty room of Jinyiwei. An uninvited guest visited.

The person who came was Emperor Zhengde's favorite minister, Jiang Bin.

Chang Feng arched his hand: "General Jiang, does the emperor have a will?" ”

Jiang Bin has just been appointed as the chief soldier of Xuanfu and Datong towns. But Emperor Zhengde asked him to "lead from afar" and stay in the palace.

The remote collar is an ancient system in the Tang Dynasty, that is, only the name of the post is not in person.

For example, Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and Luoyang, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, set up a government, with the chief as a pastor, led by the prince Yao, and it was Yin who actually presided over government affairs.

Jiang Bin smiled and said, "Master Chang, the emperor has no will. The younger generation is not here for official business, but for private business. ”

Chang Feng asked, "Oh? What private matter is worth a trip from General Jiang to the army in person? ”

Jiang Bin restrained his smile: "That day, the emperor heroically saved the beauty, I can see that it was a scene arranged by Chang Shuaiye, right?" ”

Chang Feng frowned: It's not good, I thought it was seamless, but I was still seen through by Jiang Bin!
