The sixth day of October.

Tomorrow, Emperor Zhengde will hold a big wedding.

In the Jinyi Guard, Chang Feng selected 500 Han generals to be responsible for the wedding garrison and honor guard. For the sake of secrecy, he only said to these Han generals that they would go out on patrol with Hu.

After picking people, Chang Feng summoned his henchmen to discuss the matter.

You Jingwu and Chang Ponu have not yet returned to Beijing. Otherwise, Chang Feng will definitely hand over the matter of the big wedding garrison to Yizi You Jingwu, so that Yizi can show his face more in front of Emperor Zhengde.

Chang Feng said to everyone: "Tomorrow, our Jinyi Guard has a great responsibility, and the garrison and honor guard of the big wedding need to have one person in charge." Channing is the commander, so let him be in charge. ”

The words were good words, but Qian Ning was a little embarrassed when he heard it, and his heart was twisted.

At the beginning of Emperor Zhengde's accession to the throne, Feng Changfeng's official official title was "the former military governor is in charge of the north town and the secretary of the Fu, and the hereditary Jinyi guard is the commander of the Tongzhi".

Nominally, Chang Feng was Qian Ning's subordinate.

After three months, Emperor Zhengde changed Chang Feng's official position to "the former military governor is in charge of the Jinyi Guard, and the hereditary Jinyi Guard is in command of Tongzhi".

Nominally, Chang Feng became Qian Ning's boss again.

This is in response to Qian Ning's sentence on his lips all day long, "As long as Chang Shuai Ye lives for one day, Jinyiwei will be surnamed Chang".

Since ancient times, the prince has wanted to be the emperor, and the second shopkeeper has wanted to be the big treasurer.

Qian Ning felt aggrieved: Before the change of dynasty, I was the second shopkeeper of Jinyiwei. After the change of dynasty, I have the title of a commander, and I am still a second treasurer. Isn't that a change of dynasty in vain?

Qian Ning's stepfather, Qian Neng, is an understanding person.

Qian Neng analyzed for Yizi: with the temperament of Liu Jin and Chang Feng. When it comes to the day when the power of the Eight Tigers is in power, the two will gradually become separate, until they are incompatible.

So Qian Ning secretly took refuge in Liu Jin.

Perhaps, when Liu Jin and Chang Feng are incompatible, it is the day when I, Qian Ning, truly become a veritable treasurer of Jinyiwei.

Qian Ning patted his chest: "Chang Shuai, don't worry." If there is any errand tomorrow, I'll see you. ”

Chang Feng smiled: "I don't worry about you doing things." ”

Chang Feng also has a plan in his heart. Ti Shuai's monstrous power, he hopes to pass it on to the next generation.

No way, I have been in charge of Jinyiwei for more than ten years, and those who should be offended should not be offended, the Chang family has offended a fine light. If the Chang family loses the power of the Jinyi Guard, the enemies will definitely retaliate.

Only by firmly grasping the power of the Chang family can the safety of the Chang family be guaranteed.

Chang Feng has a "hereditary brocade guard commander and knowledge" that can be passed on to the next generation. Chang Ponu has already become a civil servant and wants to take the career of a civil official.

Chang Feng plans to wait for himself to be seventy or eighty, and let You Jingwu change his surname to "Chang". Pass on the ministry to him. It's better to support him as a commander again.

People, who didn't order Xiao Jiujiu.

Chang Feng asked, "How is the search in Nancheng?" ”

Qian Ning replied: "I've searched for a day, and I've almost turned Nancheng upside down, but I haven't found anything." ”

Chang Feng said: "The matter of finding the tiger sin box will be handed over to Zhang Cai first." ”

Zhang Cai arched his hand: "Yes, handsome." ”

The commander of the left servant, Zhang Cai, was single-handedly promoted by Chang Feng. However, people's hearts are not enough, and snakes swallow elephants. Zhang Cai thinks that since he is looking for a backer, why not have a bigger backer?

No matter how favored you are, you are only the big shopkeeper of Jinyiwei. There is an east factory above you, and a west factory above the east factory. Further up the west factory is Liu Jin, the head of the Eight Tigers.

Turning to Father-in-law Liu is only good for my career, and there is no harm.

Shi Wenyi, another confidant of Chang Feng, has no ability to handle cases, and will only be sent to social entertainment. But he only recognized one thing: Lao Tzu has only one boss and a backer, and that is Chang Feng. Everything I have now is given by Chang Shuaiye. In this life and in this life, I owe him only one person.

As for the thoughtful little national player Wang Miaoxin. He has already retired, and plans to wait for the current court storm to end, and then hand over his resignation. This life is accompanied by a chessboard.

Shi Wenyi said: "That Xie Qian is a ruthless and unrighteous person. Xixiaojing Hutong has been my eyes all along. Haitang has been 'slippery' tires for so many days, and Xie Yan has not shown up. ”

Chang Feng said: "No way. For most people, what is a woman compared to the monstrous power? ”

Xie Fu.

In front of Xie Qian sat his three sons.

Xie Qian is very capable. He had six sons and two daughters.

The eldest son, Xie Zheng, is working as a clerk in the Ministry of Rites.

The second son, Xie Pi, is the eighteenth year of Hongzhi. Edited at the Hallym Academy. His teacher was Li Dongyang.

The third son, Xie Dou, made a general judgment in Dali Temple.

The fourth son, Xie Gan, was an official of the Left Army Governor's Office.

The fifth son, Xie Zhi, served as a judge in Wuding, Shandong.

The sixth son, Xie Yuan, served as the county commander in Jiaozhou, Shandong.

The Xie family is a typical family of eunuchs.

The so-called official family is a generation of people who have been in the cold for ten years and have been civil officials. In the following generations, everyone was a civil servant.

The official career of the Xie family can be traced back to Xie Qian's grandfather, Xie Ying. Xie Ying was the official envoy of the Xuande Dynasty to Fujian.

Fight tiger brothers, go into battle father and son soldiers. At the critical moment of "eliminating the tiger", Xie Qian convened the eldest son, second son, and third son of the family to discuss the matter.

Xie Qian asked his eldest son Xie Zheng: "How is the fourth child?" ”

Xie Zheng replied: "The accusations, testimonies, and witnesses of the Eight Tigers were strictly regarded by the fourth brother, and there was nothing wrong with them. ”

Xie Qian said with a smile: "Liu Jin and Chang Feng must be looking for these things like crazy at this time. At the end of yesterday, the Jinyi guards and the regimental battalion soldiers actually used the banner of 'searching for Tatar spies' to make Nancheng jump. ”

"Let them toss. How could they have thought that I had hidden things and witnesses under their noses. ”

Xie Zheng said with a smile: "My son congratulated my father and Uncle Liu on cutting off the eunuch party in advance. ”

Xie Qian waved his hand: "Don't take it lightly. Although we have won the battle, we still have to be cautious. ”

The second son, Xie Pi, said with a smile: "Father, Uncle Liu promised to cut off the eunuch party and let you be in charge of the ministry." By that time, the sons will hold official positions."

Xie Qian coughed: "We have to maintain our family's reputation." Fame is the foundation of officialdom. Your officials naturally want to be promoted, but they can't be too ostentatious. ”

The third son, Xie Dou, said: "When the Eight Tigers and Chang Feng are defeated, can my father hand over the errand of raiding Chang Feng's mansion to our Dali Temple?" ”

"It is said that Chang Feng is an expert in copying homes. This time it also gave him a taste of being raided. ”

Xie Qian glanced at Xie Dou: "Even if Chang Feng falls, I'm afraid he will only lose his official position." will not be reduced to the step of being raided. ”

"Don't forget. His wife is the sister-in-law of the Empress Dowager Zhang, and his sister is the sister-in-law of the former emperor. The emperor privately called him 'uncle'. ”

Xie Zhengdao: "Father." If you can successfully get rid of the tiger this time, you should give the fourth brother a first credit. He came up with six places to store the evidence of the Eight Tigers. Oh, Ren Liu Jin and Chang Feng can't guess these six places even if they want to break their heads. ”

Inside the Qianqing Palace.

Liu Jin is leading the Eight Tigers to try on the crown dress used for Emperor Zhengde's wedding tomorrow.

Emperor Zhengde asked, "Where is Mr. Liu?" ”

Liu Jin replied: "Counting the time, it should be in Baoding." ”

Emperor Zhengde said: "I will bypass Shoufu for my wedding, heh, I'm afraid that the civil officials will play again afterwards." ”

Liu Jin smiled: "It's like listening to a bird." This world is the emperor's world, not the world of their civil officials. ”

Gu Dayong put the crown on the head of Emperor Zhengde. Emperor Zhengde asked again: "Has my pro-government edict been drafted?" ”

Liu Jin said: "It's ready!" ”

Emperor Zhengde asked, "Who drafted it?" ”

Liu Jin replied: "It was drafted by Jiao Fang, the left attendant of the ministry. The emperor can rest assured that before the pro-government plan is announced to the world, Jiao Fang will be tight-lipped. Jiao Fang is different from the civil officials next to him. You are loyal to the emperor. ”

Emperor Zhengde muttered to himself: "Jiao Fang? He drafted a pro-government edict for me and contributed to me. Naturally, I will not treat him badly. Wait for me to be in power, and reward him into the cabinet. ”

Liu Jin waited for Emperor Zhengde's words. He had already made his wish to bring Jiao Fang into the cabinet.

Liu Jin smiled: "The emperor is wise." In addition, Zhang Cai of the Ministry of Literature Anthology has polished the pro-government edict. ”

Emperor Zhengde said: "I know Zhang Cai. A well-known talent in the imperial court. When I ascend the throne, I will promote him to be the right servant of the ministry. ”

Why do officials of all dynasties love to spoil eunuchs? Here's why. Often the eunuchs said a few words in front of the emperor, and the officials would have to fight for less than ten or twenty years. It can even break through the promotion ceiling.

Emperor Zhengde's words changed: "Can the eight of you keep yourself?" ”

Liu Jin was stunned and silent.

Emperor Zhengde said: "If you don't have the ability to keep yourself, you don't deserve to be reused." ”

Liu Jin naturally knew that Emperor Zhengde was referring to the matter of the Tiger Sin Box. When he thought about it, his head grew for a while.

If he can't destroy the tiger sin box, all his plans and layouts for the future will be a flash in the pan.

Dingguo Mansion.

Liu Xiaoyan, Chang Tian, and Mrs. Jiu are gathering in front of the dressing mirror, trying on the head jewelry for tomorrow's wedding for Xia Dongyue.

Liu Xiaoyan said: "Dongyue, when the wedding is over tomorrow, when I see you again, I will kneel down and salute you." We are no longer godmothers and goddaughters, but servants and masters. ”

Xia Dongyue said very seriously: "Godmother, no matter what time it is, I can't forget the kindness of the Chang family to me." If there is no permanent family, how can I be a queen? ”

Liu Xiaoyan hurriedly said: "Don't say that." You can become the mother of the country tomorrow, all thanks to the blessings of the Xia family's ancestors. The Chang family just complied with the mandate of heaven and helped a little. ”

Xia Dongyue, this little girl is very emotional. She suddenly picked up a hairpin and poked it on her finger.

Liu Xiaoyan and the others were stunned by her sudden move.

Xia Dongyue squeezed her fingers, and a drop of blood dripped on the ground: "Godmother, I am willing to swear by blood." If I can't repay the great kindness of the Chang family in the future, I will be punished by heaven and sent to the cold palace."

Liu Xiaoyan said: "Amitabha, there are no taboos. Don't say such unlucky things before the wedding. You are not my own, but you are better than my own. I hope that you will always be favored by the emperor, forever in charge of the six palaces, and the mother of the world. ”

Xia Dongyue fell into Liu Xiaoyan's arms and called: "Godmother", and then tears crackled down.

Liu Xiaoyan hugged Xia Dongyue and burst into tears: "Good girl." Meeting you in this life is a blessing that I have cultivated in my tenth life. ”

How true Liu Xiaoyan's tears are and how fake they are, only God knows.

It is one hundred and thirty miles away from the capital in Zhuozhou.

An eight-lift sedan chair is speeding on the official road. The palanquin drivers were almost trotting all the way. Ming system, eight sedan chairs are not the second grade and above civil officials, from the first rank and above military attachés are not allowed to use without authorization.

Sitting in the eight-lift sedan chair is the first assistant Liu Jian!

Liu Jian went out of Beijing to the south, and the more he walked, the more he felt that something was wrong.

At the critical moment of eliminating the tiger, the emperor sent me to Baoding to receive the proposed queen? That's a coincidence, isn't it?

There are no coincidences in this world, only the illusion of coincidence! There must be something strange in it!

The more Liu Jian thought about it, the more scared he became. I'm afraid of a fire in the backyard!

So, two days ago, he simply told Zhang Heling, the envoy of the festival, that he had a sudden lung disease, and he was afraid that he would die soon, and he needed to return to Beijing for treatment.

Zhang Heling, who was stunned, was very simple. If you're willing to get out, get out.

After Liu Jian left the welcoming team, he hurried back.

Liu Jian lifted the curtain of the eight-lift sedan chair and asked the sedan chair driver: "Are you out of Zhuozhou?" ”

The palanquin man replied: "I haven't left the Zhuozhou border yet." ”

Liu Jian ordered: "Forget it, press the sedan chair." Change horses for me! ”

Several henchmen brought Liu Jian a horse. Liu Jian got on his horse and whipped and galloped in the direction of the capital.

He has been a civil official all his life, and he travels in Beijing on weekdays in a sedan chair, and he has never ridden a horse. The saddle was a pain in his ass.

But in order to get rid of the Eight Tigers smoothly, he dominated the court. What if the butt is torn apart and split into two petals?

Before I knew it, it was late at night.

Chang Feng sat in the hall, not sleepy.

Before Emperor Zhengde had an edict. Tonight, the eunuchs will go to the mansions of all the clansmen, officials, and nobles in Beijing to inform them of tomorrow's wedding.

Tonight's capital is destined not to be peaceful.

It's finally time to get up. Liu Jin walked in quickly: "Little uncle." ”

Chang Feng asked: "Did the eunuchs who informed about the wedding have been sent out?" ”

Liu Jin replied: "Send it out." What about the Tiger Sin Box? ”

Chang Feng shook his head slightly.

Liu Jin looked bitter: "There is also bad news." In charge of the Nine Gates garrison was Zhang Yong's people. Just now Zhang Yong told me that Liu Jian returned to Beijing overnight through Zhengyangmen! ”

Chang Feng's face changed: "Liu Jian has returned to Beijing?" How can it be? Did he turn back halfway? Why didn't the defenders of Zhengyangmen stop him? ”

After a while, Chang Feng said to himself: "Yes." The defenders of the Nine Gates can stop others, but they can't stop the head of the court. ”

Liu Jin said: "Look at it." In the second half of the night, Liu Jian will definitely break into the palace! ”

Chang Feng thought for a while and said, "It's okay. We have already thought of a perfunctory reason for Liu Jian for the emperor. The big wedding is already on the way, and he can't stop it. ”

"The most important thing now is to find the tiger sin box."

As Liu Jin expected. At four o'clock, Qianqing was in the palace.

The Qianqing Palace is brightly lit at the moment. All the eunuchs and palace maids are busy with the wedding tomorrow morning.

Liu Jian came to the front of the Qianqing Palace in a rage.

Gu Dayong greeted him: "Liu Shoufu, why are you back?" ”

Liu Jian scolded: "Why can't I come back? The emperor actually deceived his auxiliary cabinet to go to Baoding! Is the proposed queen in Baoding?! I've been back to Beijing a long time ago, right?!"

"For such a big thing as a big wedding, he actually bypassed the first assistant of the cabinet! Where is the emperor? I want to face you! ”

After speaking, Liu Jian was about to break into the main hall.

Gu Dayong blocked: "Liu Shoufu, how can you trespass on the Qianqing Palace without a purpose?" ”

Liu Jian said angrily: "I am the auxiliary minister appointed by the first emperor, do I still need to ask for a decree to enter the Qianqing Palace?" ”

Gu Dayong opened his arms and stopped in front of Liu Jianjian: "The emperor's wedding today is a matter of national fortune!" If you want to ruin the wedding, you will ruin the national fortune of the Ming Dynasty! Bad Ming's Jiangshan Sheji! ”

"Want to enter the temple? Unless I step on the corpse of my big use! ”

Liu Jian scolded: "Emasculation! Don't pretend to be righteous and awe-inspiring here! When you were corrupt and bribed, formed a party for personal gain, and annexed the people's land, why didn't you want to think about the country? ”

Gu Da ridiculed each other with his lips: "When the first assistant was corrupt and bribed, formed a party for personal gain, and annexed the people's land, didn't you think about the country? ”

Liu Jian was so angry by Gu Da that his face turned pale: "You"

At this moment, Emperor Zhengde appeared at the door of the main hall: "Mr. Liu, come into the hall." ”
