Chang Feng and Li Dongyang entered the hall and kowtowed.

Emperor Zhengde is a dog-faced, and he will change when he says it. He glared: "An, An, An, what An!" The Son of Heaven, the Ninety-Five, and the Body of Ten Thousand Times, was put under house arrest by a small Qipin Zhi County! ”

"Throughout the history books, such a thing has never been heard of for a long time! Such a bold county can be said to be unprecedented and unprecedented! ”

"You know. The house arrest of the emperor is not an attempt to rebel, but an ongoing rebellion! ”

Chang Po Nu kowtowed: "Ten thousand deaths!" ”

Chang Feng was furious when he saw Emperor Zhengde. I secretly said "not good" in my heart. hurriedly pleaded: "Your Majesty, the slave is young and frivolous. Ministers will never show favoritism! The ministers will put him in prison and interrogate him severely! ”

Chang Feng is doing a plan for his son to "receive with a small cane and walk with a big cane".

You know, house arrest of the emperor for whatever reason is a capital offense.

The edict is the territory of the Chang family. After entering the edict, Chang Po slave couldn't stand any suffering. When the time comes, I will find Empress Dowager Zhang and Empress Xia to intercede for Chang Ponu. When Emperor Zhengde's anger is gone, he will be dismissed from his position as a slave at most.

Jiang Bin, who was standing next to Emperor Zhengde, knew that his "father" had no intention of punishing Chang Ponu at all. Such a good official, it's too late for the 'father' to reuse it. The words just now were just to scare and scare the Chang family.

Jiang Bin is a good person, when will he not sell Chang Shuai at this time?

Jiang Bin opened his mouth and pleaded for Chang Ponu: "Your Majesty." Tonight's incident is not 'house arrest'. Instead, Chang Xianzun was loyal to the emperor, and he was afraid that the emperor would go on a business trip outside the palace. ”

Emperor Zhengde said angrily: "Lock me up in the county living room for three hours, this is not house arrest!" ”

"The sin of breaking slavery is extremely evil! If you don't punish severely, how can you be disciplined? If in the future, all my courtiers will learn to break slaves, then where is the etiquette of the saints of kings, ministers, fathers, fathers, sons, and sons? ”

"Chang Po slave, listen to the order!"

Chang Po Nu kowtowed: "The ministers listen to the emperor's disposition." ”

Emperor Zhengde said: "You imprisoned the Son of Heaven, the crime is extremely evil!" Nian Chang's two generations of servants are quite meritorious. I will spare you death. ”

"However, the death penalty is avoidable, but the living sin is inescapable."

The sweat on Chang Feng's head came out all of a sudden. He guessed that Emperor Zhengde would at least sentence Chang Ponu to be dismissed from his post and exiled to the army.

Don't fill the army and Guangzhou, just fill the northwest. Qiu Yue, an upstart in the northwest, is a close friend of the Chang family, and Chang Po will not suffer anything when he arrives in the northwest.

Unexpectedly, the so-called "punishment" of Emperor Zhengde was more like a reward.

Emperor Zhengde gritted his teeth and said: "Chang Ponu, you were born in the capital and grew up in the capital. Now he is released to be an official, and he is in Daxing, which is only fifty miles away from Beijing. It's no different from being an official at home, and you can go back to your home in Beijing at any time. ”

"I'll punish you. Go to Hejian Mansion to be the same knowledge, so that you can taste the taste of being a wanderer 400 miles away from home! ”

As soon as Emperor Zhengde said this, Chang Feng's father and son were stunned!

Where's this punishment?!

Zhixian is seven products, and the government is the same as knowing five products. This is equivalent to three levels in a row!

Chang Ponu's recent year can be called a big ups and downs. First from the third product Shuntianfu Yin, he asked to be reduced to the seventh product of the county. to withdraw from Liu Jin's case.

This is immediately promoted to the same knowledge of the Wupin Mansion. Although Hejian is not as good as Shuntian, it is also the mansion of Beizhili.

Chang Feng's father and son were stunned for a long time.

It was Li Dongyang who learned the tone of Chang Feng and shouted: "Your Majesty, Shengming!" Broken slaves, don't get the order and thank you soon! ”

Chang Ponu reacted at this time: "Minister, thank you for your order!" ”

Emperor Zhengde smiled: "Okay, don't come to this set." Which bastard just said to my little nephew Qingyun that my name is Zhu Shou, the word has no spectrum, and the number is a wild donkey? ”

"You have been in Daxing County for less than a year. The territory of Daxing County is solemn, and there is a prosperous and peaceful scene. When you come to the river, you must also be as diligent in the place as you are in Daxing. ”

"Although you are the seedling of the feudal official, Liu Jin's unconventional promotion of you is fueled by the seedling."

"I want you to be down-to-earth and down-to-earth. Hejian Mansion Tongzhi served for three years, and some of them were good, and after three years, I was promoted to your prefect. The prefect has done a good job for three years, and I will promote you to be the third division!"

"You must not live up to my expectations!"

Chang Po Nu kowtowed: "Yes, the minister must live up to the emperor's expectations, be diligent as an official, and tie the grass title ring for the emperor." ”

Emperor Zhengde said again: "In addition, Chang Qingyun's child is quite beautiful. He was allowed to study in the main hall. I'm going to get him the best teacher. Chang Po slave, are you willing to do it? ”

The main hall is the first year of Hongwu, the library and the prince's school designated by the great grandfather.

Today, Emperor Zhengde has no children. Although the main hall still remains, it only has the function of storing books, and it has lost its function of teaching the prince.

Emperor Zhengde let Chang Qingyun enter the main hall to study, which was the prince's educational treatment.

How could Chang Po slave be reluctant? He hurriedly shouted the ancestral slogan: "Your Majesty, Shengming!" Thank you for your grace! ”

Emperor Zhengde smiled: "Okay, then it's decided!" ”

Chang Feng listened to Emperor Zhengde's will, and was so excited!

Liu Jin has no heirs and loves Chang Tian as his own daughter.

The emperor and queen have no children under their knees, and the Empress Dowager Zhang has no grandchildren. The grandson of the Chang family entered the palace to study. You must not be treated as a palace pet!

In the future, if the emperor gives birth to a son, the grandson of the Chang family will be a proper prince companion! After a hundred years of the emperor, the crown prince ascended the throne. The wealth of the Chang family can be extended to the third generation.

Chang Feng is not a fortune teller, so naturally he can't think of it and dare not think that the next emperor of the Ming Dynasty is not the bloodline of Emperor Zhengde, but the cousin of Emperor Zhengde.

Emperor Zhengde said: "This time out of the palace, although I did not eat the donkey meat of the river that I missed in my heart. But I didn't get nothing! ”

"I have a thought. The magistrate represents the herdsmen of the Son of Heaven. If the chief official of the main hall is a clean and honest official, there is no place for bad governance! ”

"If the traitors Liu Liu and Liu Qi are from Daxing County. Even if they want to rebel, the people of Daxing will not let go of the peaceful days, but follow them to rebel! ”

Chang Ponu interrupted Emperor Zhengde: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the statement that 'local officials represent the herdsmen of the Son of Heaven' is out-and-out nonsense!" ”

"'Shepherds', grazing livestock. If the magistrate is a herdsman on behalf of the Son of Heaven, doesn't he treat the people as livestock? Talking two-legged sheep? ”

"The people are not livestock, but the food and clothing of officials. If it is not 'pastoral', it should be 'supported'. ”

Li Dongyang hurriedly said: "Broken slave, don't talk nonsense. "The chief of Kyushu, into the country of the Son of Heaven is called pastoral", said "Zhou Li". Ming rite is inherited from Zhou rite."

Emperor Zhengde waved his hand: "Mr. Li is pedantic, isn't it." I think your son-in-law is right. ”

"Why has the rule never been cleared? Corrupt officials and corrupt officials are killed every year, and they can never be killed? It is because they call themselves shepherds and treat their people as livestock! Take it and take it! ”

"The people even have a folk proverb that the prefect who destroys the door is the prefect who breaks the house."

"If every official has the view that he is always a slave, the people are the parents of the officials. Then I'm much better as an emperor! ”

Chang Feng shouted: "Your Majesty, Shengming! ”

Emperor Zhengde said: "That's it." It's getting late. I entered Daxing County, Haiqing Heyan, how could I not stay overnight? ”

"I'm going to spend the night today by borrowing the treasure of Chang Po Slave. I will return to Beijing early tomorrow morning. ”

Chang Feng was about to open his mouth to object. Emperor Zhengde interrupted him: "Don't be afraid, I won't run!" ”

Emperor Zhengde said that he would not run, but Chang Feng sweated. Emperor Zhengde was raised by him. The emperor's urine nature, he knows better than anyone else.

Chang Ponu vacated his bedroom in the county government for Emperor Zhengde to live in.

After entering the bedroom, Emperor Zhengde first asked Li Dongyang to rest.

Then he asked a question that he had asked the old man in the porridge shop before: "Is there a beautiful woman here?" ”

When Chang Ponu heard this, he chuckled in his heart: What do you mean by Zhu Houzhao? My wife is a beautiful woman in the county office! Could it be that you want to be my brother-in-law!

Emperor Zhengde was afraid that Chang Ponu would misunderstand, so he hurriedly added: "I heard that you have a rouge alley here." ”

The emperor asked his courtiers for prostitutes, but they still wanted prostitutes. Emperor Zhengde is also a precedent in the history of the emperor's affairs.

Chang Ponu sternly refused: "There are indeed rouge alleys in the city, and there are many green buildings." But the minister didn't dare."

Before Chang Ponu finished speaking, Chang Feng interrupted him: "Ah, Ponu, why don't you quickly take the official wife of the Yazhong and go to Rouge Lane to choose someone to accompany the emperor?" ”

After speaking, Chang Feng pulled Chang Po Nu Qiang out of the bedroom.

Chang Ponu whispered: "Dad, aren't you the evil of Fengjun?" Although the official media gave the girl in Rouge Lane a physical examination every month, he was not afraid of 10,000 in case."

Chang Feng said: "You are confused." With the emperor's wild donkey temperament, what if he runs away again in the middle of the night? Gotta find a woman to tie him down. ”

"You take an official wife to the Qinglou and pick a girl who hasn't sold saffron yet. Remember, be sure to use musk before coming. After accompanying the emperor, he also used musk. ”

Musk was a magic weapon used by ancient Qinglou women to avoid pregnancy.

Chang Po Nu was distressed: "But what the emperor wants is a woman." Send a girl in, and the emperor will be displeased. ”

Chang Feng said: "Stupid." You ask the official media to bring a sleek wooden stick when you pick people. After choosing a good girl, let the official wife give her a red flower. If you fall a saffron, you will become a woman? ”

Chang Ponu gasped: "Dad, you have such a good means!" ”

Chang Feng said: "The girls who are selected horizontally and vertically are all going to accompany the emperor tonight." It is not a lack of virtue to give her saffron first. Go for it. ”

Chang Ponu made a joke: "Do you need to find one for your old age?" ”

Chang Feng scolded: "Get out!" ”

Half an hour later, Chang Ponu sent a woman who was ditched and lost, and who had just become a woman less than two quarters of an hour, into Emperor Zhengde's bedroom.

Chang Feng is still afraid that something will go wrong. He stood at the door of the house all night.

Early the next morning, Emperor Zhengde came out of the bedroom with a red face, satisfied, and instructed Chang Feng: "Go, go back to Beijing!" ”

Chang Feng is forty-six years old, and he stood at the door for most of the night, and his two eyes were dark: "Yes, the minister is ready to drive." ”

This was the first time that Emperor Zhengde abandoned the night run of the Chinese martial arts and court guards. But by no means the last.

Fortunately, Emperor Zhengde ran to Daxing County at night and met Chang Ponu. Otherwise, Chang Feng and Li Dongyang would have to be worried for several days.

Half a month later, after Chang Ponu arrived, he sent someone to send a tribute to Emperor Zhengde - a special product of the river, donkey meat burned.

Zhengde Emperor Long Yan Dayue, praised Jiang Bin, or Chang Ponu, who grew up together, thought about him.

This time, Emperor Zhengde ran at night, and Li Dongyang and others were shocked into a cold sweat. The Chang family has benefited the most. Chang Ponu was promoted to three levels in a row, not to mention, Chang Feng's grandson Chang Qingyun entered the main hall. Received the highest quality education in the entire empire.

Chang Qingyun had lunch in the main hall on weekdays, and was called by Empress Dowager Zhang or Empress Xia to give him food at every turn.

As Chang Feng expected, Chang Qingyun became the third generation of court foreign family pets after Chang Tian and Chang Ponu.

Changfu.

Li Dongyang sat opposite Chang Feng and drank tea.

Li Dongyang said with a smile: "Qingyun has a guarantee in this life. Not to mention whether he will be favored as an official in the future. The emperor ate the river food that came up from the slave tribute yesterday, and ordered Wang Shouren, who had just arrived at the ministry, to be the enlightener of Qingyun. There was also a bunch of great Confucianism in the Hanlin Academy to teach him together. ”

"There are so many good gentlemen, and I am afraid that I will not be able to teach good students who are knowledgeable and knowledgeable?"

Chang Feng said: "Qingyun, this kid is a blessed man. Alas, if the emperor is going to do something every once in a while, he will go out on patrol. It's going to give us a headache. ”

Li Dongyang said: "Jiang Bin's person seems to be your person. In fact, he has his own little ninety-nine. The emperor sneaked out of the palace, and he wouldn't give us a letter in advance. It's really a headache. ”

Chang Feng nodded: "Indeed, it's just a look." If you talk about your own people, only Jingwu and Basha can be regarded as your own people. ”

Li Dongyang said: "I have a plan. In order to prevent the emperor, the next micro-service patrol is not to the south, but to the north. The court painters should be asked to transcribe more of the emperor's face. Distribute it to the guards at the northern passes. ”

"If the emperor wants to go to the grassland through the passes, let the guards stop him."

Chang Feng said: "It's done." Military generals have the custom of worshipping the god of the army. Many military generals have the King of Zhongshan and the King of Kaiping hanging in their homes. ”

"Let's give the emperor to the general, it's not a courtesy. The emperor is wise and martial, and his military ability is not inferior to that of the king of Zhongshan and the king of Kaiping. It is really the god of war. Isn't it very reasonable for military generals to compete with each other and worship each other? ”

"When these words reach the ears of the emperor, the emperor will only rejoice."

Li Dongyang said again: "Yesterday, I went to Yang Tinghe and had a deep discussion with him about the strategy of assisting the monarch in governing the country. Yang Tinghe is a capable minister who governs the world. ”

"Before I left his house, I made it clear to him that next year I would recommend him to the emperor to take over as the first assistant."

Chang Feng said: "Yang Tinghe is a virtuous minister and has the ability to be a good first assistant. But do you really want to be a businessman? ”

Li Dongyang nodded: "After decades of ups and downs, I'm too tired." Now that the traitors have been eliminated, the eunuchs have been swept away. ”

"Virtuous ministers like Yang Tinghe and Yang Yiqing, and good officials like Wang Shouren have taken power one after another, and they have risen and fallen. It's time for me to retreat into the countryside. ”

"Alas. Even if I retire to the countryside, I will still be scolded! Who let Liu Jin take power, I endured it for several years and didn't send it. ”

Chang Feng said: "The emperor gave me 30,000 acres of land. I know better than anyone else that you have been an official for decades, and your family has no money to spare. ”

"Why don't I donate 10,000 acres to you for retirement. Even if the emperor knew about it, he wouldn't say anything. ”

Li Dongyang said: "No need! Rest assured, although my family has no money to spare, I have the skills to support my family. Calligraphy and painting are my craft. ”

"It's really not possible, I make a living selling calligraphy and paintings. Never starve to death. ”

In the spring of the sixth year of Zhengde, everything is developing towards the realm of vitality and competition.

Although the emperor is dissolute and uninhibited, he is unreliable. But he was only obsessed with military affairs, and handed over political affairs to a group of virtuous ministers and eunuchs.

Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe, Yang Yiqing and others cooperated happily with Zhang Yong and Wei Bin, and implemented a lot of moral policies that benefited the country and the people.

Jiubian also got a short period of calm because of Chang Feng's strategy to exaggerate Liu Jin's family wealth. External stabilization.

The commodity economy flourished in the south and north of the Yangtze River, and the entire Ming Empire was stable and improving, with bright prospects.
