The next morning, after the morning pilgrimage. Wei Bin came to Jinyiwei in an official sedan chair.

Changfeng greets you in the lobby.

Wei Bin said with a smile: "Congratulations to Chang Shuaiye, congratulations to Chang Shuaiye." Your old tree is in spring! ”

Chang Feng was stunned: "The old tree is in spring? Grandpa Wei, you're also here to pull fiber for me? ”

Wei Bin explained: "That's wrong, it's not that I'm running the matchmaker, it's the emperor who is the matchmaker." Pass on the emperor's message! Gao Biyun, the daughter of Gao Yingliang, a squire in Wanping County, gave Chang Feng as a concubine. ”

Chang Feng's first reaction was: The emperor is not at ease with me, and he wants to install nails by my side.

People are old spirits, ghosts are old spirits. Emperor Zhengde's mind was pondered thoroughly by Chang Feng.

Chang Feng kowtowed and thanked him. Wei Bin said again: "The flower-like girl Biyun has been sent to your house." Why don't you hurry home and have a look? ”

Chang Feng said: "It's still important to have official business." A concubine is not a wife. I'll go back home when I'm on a business trip. ”

Wei Bin said with a smile: "Chang Shuai Ye is really loyal to the country!" I am where I am today because of you. When you take a concubine, I always have to express it. ”

Chang Feng advised Wei Bin: "You have just become the master of ceremonies, don't learn from the old oilman of officialdom who gives money and collects money." I won't take your 'representation'. I can't hurt you. ”

Wei Bin said: "Master Chang Shuai misunderstood. I have been in the palace for twenty years under your recommendation. I can see many things clearly. ”

"How many powerful ministers and eunuchs have fallen on the word 'money'. They're confused! Compared to power, money is a fart! ”

"You know who I am. I am indeed greedy, but I am greedy for power. Not interested in money. To put it mildly, I'm pretty good at it. ”

"I don't have any money to give you. I'm giving you a treasure! ”

Chang Feng asked, "Oh? What treasure? ”

Wei Bin took out a medicine gourd from his sleeve: "This is the Golden Gun Pill treasured by the Internal Affairs Department of the Leopard Room." It is known as 'a suit becomes a bully, Yu Ji cries and begs for mercy'. It was collected by Jiang Bin to present to the emperor. ”

Chang Feng gasped: "Hiss! How dare I use it for royal purposes? ”

Wei Bin smiled: "Chang Shuai, don't worry. Although this medicine is miraculous, it is not uncommon. There are five or six hundred gourds stored in the leopard room! The emperor can't finish eating even if he is a hundred years old. ”

"Oh yes, remember not to be greedy. Take one capsule overnight. ”

Chang Feng rubbed his hands. Not to mention, he has the unspeakable secrets that are common to forty-six-year-old men.

Chang Feng said: "It's your kindness. If I refuse, won't I be sorry for the relationship between the two of us for more than 20 years? Then you're welcome! ”

Wei Bin stuffed the medicine gourd into Chang Feng's sleeve, and then arched his hand: "After the will is delivered, I will also give the gift." Chang Shuaiye, farewell! ”

After sending Wei Bin away, more than 1,000 households in Jinyi Wei gathered in the lobby to discuss matters.

Jiang Bin concurrently commanded Zuo Tongzhi and Beizhen Fu Envoy of Jinyiwei, so he was also on the agenda.

Jiang Bin took out a long list from his sleeve: "This is the list of officials who have been dismissed from their posts in Nanjing in the past few years because of their discord with Liu Jin. There were eighty-six of them. ”

"Chang Shuai Ye has been in charge of the secret files of officials for a long time, and he knows the details of these officials. The emperor asked you to screen whether the officials in the list who were dismissed lied about Liu Jin's misdeeds. ”

Chang Feng said: "This has to be checked one by one with the secret files of the officials in the Jinyi Guard." Let's go to the stall and do this errand. ”

Chang Feng spent a lot of effort to screen the eighty-six officials who stayed in the capital one by one. Eighty of them were indeed dismissed for offending Liu Jin. The other six made something out of nothing. The reason for the dismissal was the official beetle.

Chang Feng marked them one by one on the list. Then the list was handed over to Jiang Bin.

Jiang Bin said: "Then I will present the emperor according to the handsome man's mark." Eighty officials were reinstated, and the remaining six were still dismissed. ”

Chang Feng bowed slightly: "Okay." ”

Among the 80 reinstated officials, there was an inconspicuous Nanjing Dali Temple Zhengqipin Commentator named Hu Fu.

Hu Fu is inconspicuous, just a seven-grade sesame official. And he was not a young talent, he was fifty-seven years old.

It stands to reason that this age, this grade. His ruler has come to an end.

No one would have thought that eleven years later he would be promoted to the head of the household department in Nanjing and died of illness in office.

Hu Fu was born in the Jiangnan Wang clan - Anhui Jixi Longchuan Hu family. He has a nephew named Hu Shangren, who is a well-known Confucian gentleman in Jixi.

Hu Shangren's wife just gave birth to a boy this year. It is for Hu Fu's great-nephew. This boy's name is Hu Zongxian

Let's say that Chang Feng handled a day's official business in Jinyiwei and returned home.

Although Biyun was a concubine given to Chang Feng by Emperor Zhengde. But taking a concubine is not a wife, and Chang Feng is not ready to make a big deal of wine.

In the evening, let Biyun give him and Liu Xiaoyan a cup of tea, and then go to the room.

As soon as she entered the door, Liu Xiaoyan introduced Biyun to Chang Feng: "Master, this is Biyun." This girl Zhong Lingyu is beautiful and knowledgeable. It is worthy of being given to you by the emperor. ”

Chang Feng looked at the blue clouds, and his old face was slightly hot.

How can a forty-six-year-old man not like a twenty-eight-year-old girl?

Chang Feng touched the sleeve of his robe and made sure that he didn't drop the golden spear pill that Wei Bin gave him on Jinyiwei's side.

He said in his heart: This blue cloud is the eyes and ears that the emperor has clearly placed beside me. I can't be true to her. But. Should you sleep hard or sleep hard. Save the emperor from suspicion.

Biyun made a blessing to Chang Feng: "Cheap concubine Biyun, greet the master." ”

Chang Feng sat on the chair: "You have entered the Chang Mansion, and you will respect Mrs. and your ninth sister in the future." ”

Biyun said: "The concubine keeps in mind the master's teachings. ”

Chang Feng said again: "Let's make tea." ”

Liu Xiaoyan, the wife and wife, sat next to Chang Feng.

Chang Feng said: "Slow." Jiu'er, you also move a chair to sit over and receive Biyun's tea together. ”

This is the treatment only that only a regular wife has. Mrs. Nine has been in Chang's house for 26 years, and has experienced countless ups and downs with Chang Feng and Liu Xiaoyan. Chang Feng has long stopped taking her as a concubine.

The Ninth Lady hurriedly said, "I am also a concubine." It's not in accordance with the rules for concubines to worship concubine tea. ”

Chang Feng said: "You have this qualification." Move a chair and sit here. ”

The three of them sat down.

Biyun served tea to the three of them one by one: "Master, drink tea." Madame, drink tea. Nine sisters, drink tea. ”

Chang Feng drank Biyun's tea, and the concubine ceremony was completed.

The family went to the dining room for dinner. Liu Xiaoyan leaned into Biyun's ear: "You go to the bedroom first, take a shower and change clothes and wait for the master." ”

Biyun was very well-behaved: "Yes, madam." With that, he left the dining room.

Chang Feng told Liu Xiaoyan and Mrs. Jiu: "Why did the emperor give me Biyun, you two should know in your hearts." Don't hide the little things at home from her. She was not allowed to know anything about it. ”

Liu Xiaoyan said: "You still need to say this." Don't be cheap. Hurry to the bedroom. The four joys of life, the candle night in the cave room is one of them. ”

Chang Feng said: "You pack up, tomorrow I will take leave, and our family will go to the river to visit relatives and visit the broken slaves." ”

The Ninth Lady asked, "Why do you suddenly want to go to the river?" ”

Chang Feng said: "The emperor gave marriage." Those officials in Beijing who don't have four or six are not allowed to come to our house to congratulate and send congratulatory silver. I don't like the fascination. ”

"I'll take my leave tomorrow morning. Let's go to the river and hide for a few days. ”

After dinner, Chang Feng came to the bedroom.

Biyun had already washed and changed into a gauze dress.

Chang Feng suddenly remembered that he hadn't eaten the Golden Gun Pill yet. He instructed Biyun: "Go and pour me a cup of tea." ”

Taking advantage of Biyun's efforts to turn around and pour tea, Chang Feng threw a golden spear pill into his mouth.

Biyun Tea: "Master, please use it." ”

Chang Feng took a sip of tea and sent the pill down: "Biyun, you are in your prime." With me, a forty-six-year-old man, I really wronged you. ”

Biyun said: "The master said that, but he thinks of me?" You are a meritorious veteran of the two dynasties, a hero among men. Being able to serve the master is a blessing from Biyun's three lives. ”

Emperor Zhengde's ears and eyes are naturally very clever and can speak.

Chang Feng suddenly felt something strange in his body. A gift from Wei Bin. Sure enough, it's very reliable!

Chang Feng patted the mattress beside him and said, "Biyun, come here, do it." ”

Nothing was said all night.

In the early morning of the next day, Changfeng missed the morning court. Fortunately, Yushi, who was in charge of the early dynasty, was a student of Li Dongyang and covered up the past for him.

He slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up. After waking up, I was listless and aching. It's like digging a vegetable cellar for the night.

Chang Feng walked out of the bedroom.

Liu Xiaoyan walked over, covered her mouth and chuckled: "You are enough for the emperor." The circles under my eyes are dark. Thank you for your hard work last night. ”

Chang Feng supported his waist and lowered his voice: "Ah, I am also here to deal with the emperor." Maybe in a few hours, the emperor will know how many times I visited last night. ”

"I'm dizzy, you go and help me write a leave paperwork and send someone to Weili Channing. In addition, let the subordinates prepare the carriage, and let's go to the river. ”

Liu Xiaoyan said: "I'm afraid we won't be able to go out from the main gate." You've slept. The entrance has been blocked by officials who have come to congratulate him. ”

Chang Feng knocked down Liu Jin and slapped Jinyiwei. There is a family in the outer dynasty who is the first assistant. The palm seal of the master of ceremonies in the inner dynasty is his best friend. Three of the four Bingbi were people he had carried with him. Not to mention, the emperor privately called him "uncle". In addition, the fact that Queen Xia is Changfeng's righteous daughter is an open secret in Beijing.

Which of those boneless officials in Beijing doesn't want to befriend Chang Shuaiye?

Chang Feng said: "Let the subordinates drive the carriage to the back door." Let's go through the back door. ”

Liu Xiaoyan smiled bitterly: "It's obviously my own family, but I make it like a thief." ”

Two hours later, the leopard room.

Jiang Bin came to Emperor Zhengde: "Father, Chang Feng took leave and went to visit relatives in Hejian." ”

Emperor Zhengde raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh? How did he remember to go to the river? ”

Jiang Bin replied: "My father gave him a concubine. He was afraid to congratulate him, and there were too many Beijing officials who gave congratulatory gifts, and he was overly publicized. Then he ran to the river to hide quietly. ”

Emperor Zhengde said with a smile: "Many people in the court are rampant when they are successful. Only this uncle-in-law knows how to keep a low profile and behave with his tail between his legs. ”

"Heh, he's an official who understands."

Jiang Bin said: "What my father said is true. When it comes to loyalty, the everlasting wind is of the same rank. ”

Jiang Bin is quite kind, and he has always said good things about Chang Feng in front of Emperor Zhengde.

Emperor Zhengde smiled: "Chang Feng is loyal to me, I naturally know. Oh, if you want to talk about slippery heads, Changfeng is also first-class. As a monarch, you must always guard against your subordinates who are too powerful. You need to know that Liu Jin was also very loyal to me back then! ”

"That's it, let's not talk about Changfeng. Now I am most concerned not about the wind, but about preparing for the Tatars. ”

At this moment, Jiang Bin showed his true colors as a slanderer. He suggested, "Your Majesty." The battalion of the 12th Regiment was on the outskirts of Beijing. The emperor can't always go over to review and drill troops. ”

"The minister suggested that the emperor should rotate thousands of regimental battalions every three days to exercise troops in Xiyuan."

Jiang Bin was out of line enough, and he actually asked Emperor Zhengde to turn the Daming Palace into a military training ground.

Emperor Zhengde slapped his thigh and agreed: "Your suggestion is very good!" Starting tomorrow, 1,000 regimental battalions will be transferred to Xiyuan every three days for military exercises. ”

"To the outside world, I replaced the Han general with regimental battalion soldiers and was responsible for the Xiyuan garrison."

Jiang Bin learned the tone of Chang Feng and shouted: "Your Majesty, Shengming!" ”

Let's say that Chang Feng's family took a carriage and came to Hejian Mansion.

The eastern courtyard of the Hejian Mansion was the residence of the prefect. The West Courtyard belongs to the Fu Tongzhi Chang Po Slave.

A pusher surnamed Gao greeted Chang Feng's family in the west courtyard.

Gao Tuiguan said: "Gao Zeduan, the official of Xiaguan Hejian Mansion, visited Changdu Governor." ”

Chang Feng smiled: "Hurry up and excuse me." ”

Gao Tui Guan said: "Chang Tongzhi and Fuzun went to inspect the spring ploughing outside the city. I will be able to come back in the evening. He asked his subordinates to receive you. ”

The high-ranking official is not familiar with Chang Feng, so he is called the official "governor" instead of "handsome".

Chang Feng smiled: "It's better to be busy." Busy shows that he is diligent in his duties. ”

The high-level official has already ordered someone to clean up a few bedrooms and settle Chang Feng's family.

The high-level pusher was busy before and after. Chang Feng always wants to invite him to a cup of tea.

The two sat opposite each other and drank tea in the living room of the back office.

Chang Feng smiled: "This is the West Lake Longjing I brought." You taste it. ”

The high-ranking officer is a direct subordinate of Chang Ponu. To his son's subordinate, Chang Feng seemed amiable. Where is it like the notorious "Chang Butcher", who is clearly a kind elder.

The high-ranking official took a sip of tea and praised: "Good tea." ”

Chang Feng asked the senior officer: "Where are you from?" ”

The government pushes the official rank to be the seventh grade, and is responsible for the prison. Speaking of which, he and Chang Feng are still peers.

The high-ranking official replied: "The lower official is not successful." It was the 185th Tongjin Shi of the third class in the fifteenth year of Hongzhi. ”

Chang Feng smiled: "If you want to say that, you are still my predecessor in the science field." I also participated in the examination in the 15th year of Hongji. The name falls to Sun Mountain. ”

Gao Tui Guan said: "The lower officials are shallow in their studies, and they are also lucky." ”

Chang Feng asked casually: "How is the prison in Hejian Mansion?" ”

The official replied: "Before Chang Tongzhi came to Hejian, the matter of punishment and prison was very difficult to handle. There are four great gentry in the river. Each has its own backer in Kyoto. ”

"The people of these four wealthy gentry families are used to being arrogant and domineering on weekdays. Always love to cause trouble in the city. ”

"Once the case involves them, the government can only settle it."

"After Chang Tongzhi came, he took the Hao family to open the knife and cleared the case with a prison sentence. He is not afraid of the backers of the wealthy family in Beijing. ”

"Everyone knows it, and Chang Tongtong knows that he was the emperor's companion when he was a child. The so-called backers of the wealthy family are simply pills compared to Chang Tongzhi. ”

"The people of Hejian all said that after Chang Tongzhi came to Hejian, he only did three things. It's fair, it's fair, it's fair. Chang Tongzhi is here, and the blue sky is there! ”

Chang Feng smiled: "He is a fox and a fake tiger." The wealthy families and their backers you are talking about are not afraid of broken slaves, but me. ”
