Yang Tinghe threw himself into the peach, and Emperor Zhengde repaid him with Li.

Emperor Zhengde said: "There has always been a saying in the court that heavenly officials cannot serve for a long time. According to me, Shousuke can't serve for long. The richest man Liang Chu has been conscientious and has made great contributions since he took over Li Dongyang's appointment. ”

"But to be the first assistant is to offend people. The people below inevitably have some comments about him. For his sake, I ordered Yang Tinghe to serve as the first assistant, and he was reappointed as the second assistant. He was specially given the title of the Right Pillar of the State. ”

Yang Tinghe is a well-deserved civilian leader. His appointment as the first assistant is expected by all. Even Liang Chu thought it was reasonable for him to be replaced by Yang Tinghe.

Besides, Emperor Zhengde slapped a sweet date, and Prince Liang was overjoyed and shouted: "Old minister Xie Huanglongen!" Speaking of this, he followed the old sycophant's usual appearance and shouted: "Your Majesty, Shengming!" ”

Chang Feng is the person who holds his head today to represent the nobles. Emperor Zhengde naturally will not be treated badly.

Emperor Zhengde said: "The wedding of Chang Qingyun, the grandson of the Marquis of Jin'an, is the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites and the Zongren Mansion. ”

Only when the children of the clan get married, the clan will intervene.

Emperor Zhengde directly gave the treatment of the children of the Evergreen Cloud Sect.

Chang Qingyun now has the rank of civil official from the fifth grade, which is among the early dynasties. The thirteen-year-old pouted his ass and fell to his knees: "Little minister, thank you, Lord Longen!" ”

When the court was lowered, the civil officials all looked like mourners. They knew that the deprivation of civilian military power was only the first step in Emperor Zhengde's weakening of civilian power.

As an official, what is most important is power.

Today's early dynasty is really more uncomfortable for them than digging up the ancestral graves of civil officials.

Looking at the three generations of the Chang family, the three of them walked side by side, smiling and proud.

The civil servants hated this family so much that the roots of their teeth itched.

Chang Feng didn't care about the hatred of the civil officials for him. At the beginning, he helped Xie Qian enter the cabinet. In exchange? It was Xie Qian's ingratitude.

The roots of the Chang family are in the palace. As the emperor's domestic slave, Chang has to stand by the emperor's side in case of trouble. Therefore, no matter how the situation changes, civil officials will regard Chang as a thorn in the flesh.

It will rain, and the widow will pick the eggplant, so let them go.

Chang Ponu said: "Qingyun's wedding is the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites and the Zongren Mansion. Dad, our family has saved a lot of money now. ”

"Ping'er said it yesterday. She plans to hire 200 helpers to help with things in the house in the days of her wedding. This is good, the Ministry of Rites and the Zongren Mansion will send people. ”

You Jingwu from the military attache class came over: "Father-in-law, the emperor has sent someone to the barracks yesterday to give an order. I was promoted to the governor of the right army, and I was in charge of eight battalions of Siyong and Siwei. ”

Chang Ponu was surprised when he heard this. The 12th Regiment Battalion was the elite of the elite of the Ming army. The emperor actually gave two-thirds of the soldiers and horses of the regimental battalion to Jingwu?

Giving Jingwu is equivalent to giving it to the Chang family!

The Chang family can really be said to have power and power, to have a lord, to have an official, and to be powerful.

Chang Feng laughed: "Hey, Jingwu." You have been promoted to the rank of governor, and you will be honored as a 'handsome man' in the future. Our Chang family is now a handsome man. ”

"Your father has a spirit in heaven, and he will be happy for you."

You Jingwu's biological father, You Tianjue, was only a Wei Zhenfu until his death. It is a full six levels behind You Jingwu.

You Jingwu said: "Alas. The official is getting bigger and bigger, and he can't spare the effort to go to Yongning, Fujian Province to sweep my father's grave and incense. ”

Chang Feng said: "There must be a chance." ”

After speaking, he lowered his voice: "The power of the guards in the south is in the hands of the governors. He had already issued an order to seize the power of the governor. The emperor will definitely send a reliable person to Jiangnan to carry out the will and hand over the soldiers and horses. ”

"Let's go south. I can mention this matter to the emperor. ”

You Jingwu said: "It's best to let me go to Fujian." I do business and private affairs together, and sweep my father's grave. ”

After the early dynasty, the three generations of the Chang family went in four different directions. Chang Feng went to Jinyiwei, Chang Ponu went to Hubu, You Jingwu went to the Governor's Mansion, and Chang Qingyun returned to the palace to accompany Emperor Zhengde.

Chang Feng returned to Jinyiwei. Qian Ning and Jiang Bin led a group of brothers to kneel down for Chang Feng: "Congratulations to Master Hou for receiving the reward!" ”

Chang Feng said with a smile: "I heard that the emperor asked the Ministry of Rites and the Zongren Mansion to handle my family's Qingyun's marriage?" When the time comes, all the people above the general banner of Weili will come to my house, and the wine and food of Guanglu Temple will not be eaten in vain. ”

Now Chang Feng's brother-in-law Huang Yuanzheng serves as the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple. Naturally, he will let his cooks show their housekeeping skills, and he will definitely send the best cooks and the best wine to his nephew's wedding banquet.

Qian Ning and Jiang Bin have a principle for treating Chang Feng in the past two years. It shows that he is respectful, and behind his back, he strictly abides by the will of Emperor Zhengde, and firmly controls the Beizhen Fusi in his hands, not letting Changfeng get involved.

Changfeng's old brothers, such as Basha and Wang Miaoxin, are now in Nansi.

How smart is Chang Feng? He knew that this was what Emperor Zhengde meant, and tried not to care about the affairs of Beizhen Fusi.

Qian Ning said: "The brothers pooled money and gave Master Hou a gold plaque. Jiaojia gold shop in the north of the city is in a hurry. ”

Chang Feng asked, "Oh? What is the inscription on the gold plaque? Who asked for it? ”

Qian Ning replied: "It is the five big characters of 'Jinyi Town, Mountains and Rivers'. ”

Chang Feng hurriedly waved his hand: "It's not appropriate!" Who am I? It's just the emperor's house slave. How to match the word 'town'? I can't take this gold plaque. ”

Jiang Bin said on the side: "I think it's better to change 'town' to 'protection'?" ”

Chang Feng still shook his head: "That's not going to work out." Don't beat the gold plaque. Return the original amount of money you have collected to the brothers. ”

Jiang Bin said: "This is the intention of the brothers. Master Hou, you can take it. ”

Chang Feng said: "I got my heart." Don't send gold plaques. I didn't dare to hang it if I sent it. The civil servants are staring at me like black eyes now. Why bother to tell the truth? ”

"This time, with the Qingyun wedding, our brothers of Jinyiwei have a good get-together. I am also grateful to the brothers for their support over the years. ”

Qian Ning said: "Then I will make the decision for the brothers and not send a gold plaque to Chang Ye." ”

Chang Feng said: "Brothers, it is the greatest gift for everyone to come to my house to drink wine. I have made a rule that no one is allowed to give congratulatory gifts or money on the day of the wedding. ”

"Who sent me to put my family's incorruptible imperial history directly to bite their trouser legs!"

Qian Ning smiled: "Haha, the Hou Ye's dog is more effective than those genuine rotten Confucian imperial histories in the Ducha Academy." ”

Jiang Bin agreed: "That's, that's." That gang of sons is benevolent and moral all day long, a belly of male thieves and prostitutes, and insatiable greed. ”

"The following governor has committed a crime, and the imperial history must be involved. Now I have to send someone into Beijing and bring more than 30,000 taels of gifts to plug Yushi's mouth and buy back the impeachment. ”

"The prefect is 10,000 taels, and the county order is 5,000 taels. Prices are clearly marked. ”

"These things, Beizhen Fusi is all clear. I just don't want to deal with them. ”

Qian Ning coughed.

Jiang Bin understood, and no longer mentioned the matter of Beizhen Fusi: "Hengzhu, this time, we listen to Chang Shuaiye, and when we go to the house, we just eat and drink for nothing." Just go over without courtesy. ”

Let's talk about thousands of miles away in the south of the Yangtze River, Anlu Prefecture, Xingxian Palace.

Two children are flying kites in the backyard meadow. The eleven-year-old is Zhu Houxi, the son of King Xing.

The eight-year-old is the son of Lu Song, the commander of the palace guard, Lu Bing.

Zhu Houxi and Lu Bing grew up eating the same woman. The two are as close as brothers.

Lu Bingdao: "Shizi, the wind is finally rising. I run with a kite, and you release the line. ”

Zhu Houxi nodded: "Okay!" ”

Two children were running happily on the grass. Finally, the kite was raised and soared into the blue sky and white clouds. Zhu Houxi smiled: "Let's fly the kite so high today." ”

Lu Bing touched his little belly: "Shizi, I'm hungry." ”

Zhu Houxi casually threw a cloth bag on his waist to Lu Bing: "Brother Bing, this is Ruixingzhai's dim sum." You eat it. ”

Lu Bing took the cloth bag and took out a delicate piece of dim sum and feasted on it.

Suddenly, Xingwang Zhu Youqi walked over.

When the father saw his son playing, instead of scolding, he sat next to Zhu Houxi and admired the kite that his son put up flying high in the sky.

Xingwang is not a chicken baby party. Never forced his son to study. He believes that children should do children's things. Forcing his son to study all day long will kill his heart.

King Xing smiled: "Xi'er, how high do you say the sky is?" ”

Zhu Houxi replied: "Back to my father, it is said in the "Three Five Calendars" that the heavens and the earth are 90,000 miles. ”

Zhu Houxi's husband did not teach him many orthodox Confucian classics on weekdays, but Huang Lao Taoism and Zhuangzi.

King Xing said with a smile: "But there is another saying in "Guangya", the sky is 20,160,881 miles high. ”

Turning his head, King Xing asked Lu Bing: "Lu Bing, how high do you say the sky is?" ”

Lu Bing thought for a moment and replied, "It's as high as His Highness's kindness to the Lu family!" ”

Wonderful! What a wonderful answer! Don't look at Lu Bing, who is only nine years old, his kung fu can catch up with the old oilman in the capital!

King Xing couldn't stop laughing when he heard this: "Okay, well said!" That loneliness makes the sky a few points higher. I have more than a dozen golden beans in this bag, and I will reward you. ”

Lu Bing hurriedly pouted and kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your grace!" His Royal Highness Chitose Chitose! ”

As he was talking, Lu Bing's father, Lu Song, walked over.

King Xing was a vassal king who was very knowledgeable about current affairs. The protectors had already been voluntarily returned to the imperial court. Lu Song, the commander of the escort army, has only a few dozen honor guards under his command.

Lu Song arched his hand: "Your Highness." The famous doctor Xu Hu you are looking for has arrived in the house. We are waiting for you in the lobby to come and check your pulse. ”

King Xing's health has not been very good in recent years. Plagued by all kinds of diseases.

King Xing coughed and tried to get up from the grass but couldn't get up.

Lu Bing was very discerning, and immediately grabbed King Xing's arm.
