A spring night in the thirteenth year of Zhengde.

In the Leopard House Imperial Garden.

Emperor Zhengde invited a group of nobles to enjoy flowers, the moon, and widows in the imperial garden.

That's right, Emperor Zhengde's taste is getting heavier and heavier. He used to be just a good wife, but recently he has become obsessed with the widow of her dead husband.

He ordered Gu Dayong to use the banner of "recruiting women's music" in Gyeonggi to select widows who are half-old, charming, and beautiful.

After the widows entered the palace, they were taught dances by special people, as well as the secrets in the room. Always ready to be pampered on a whim by His Majesty the Emperor.

In the past few months, Emperor Zhengde has handed over a large number of government affairs to the nobles and relatives.

For example, Xu Guangzuo went to the Ministry of Household Affairs to settle accounts, and Chang Feng went to the Ministry of Industry to manage the budget for river management for two months.

Originally, these were the fat gaps of civil officials. Emperor Zhengde handed it over to the nobles and relatives, which naturally made the civil officials hate it.

However, Emperor Zhengde is not a nobleman or a relative. For example, the mudslide in the relatives - Zhang Heling, Zhang Yanling. The ridiculous things these two uncles do on weekdays can't even stand Emperor Zhengde.

They are still idle at home. When Emperor Zhengde was holding a grand party for nobles and relatives in the leopard room, he asked them to come and drink with him and see the widow because of his face. The rest is not to be discussed.

Since ancient times, it has been effective from the top to the bottom. Don't look at the civil servants who talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality all day long. But the emperor started a new trend of widowhood, and civil officials followed suit. For a time, the good-looking widow in Gyeonggi was unexpectedly expensive in Luoyang for a while.

After three rounds of drinking, the widows danced on the stage.

A group of nobles and relatives watched it with relish.

Emperor Zhengde clapped his hands suddenly, and the widows saluted and dispersed.

Emperor Zhengde said meaningfully: "I asked Chang Feng to go to the Ministry of Industry to manage this year's budget for river management. The budget is 30% less than in previous years. ”

"I asked Xu Guangzuo to go to the household department to manage the reimbursement accounts of various ministries and provinces last year. He saved more than 1,800,000 taels of silver for the treasury. ”

"Xu Guangzuo is a person who doesn't understand economics. With a little refreshment, you can save such a large number for the treasury. It can be seen that the extra silver of previous years did not fall into the treasury, and in whose hands did it fall! ”

"I've decided. Zhu Fu, the Duke of Chengguo, added the title of prince and prince, and inspected the appointment and dismissal of officials above the seventh grade. ”

"The British public Zhang Lunjia is the crown prince and the crown prince, and he inspects the criminal affairs of the criminal department."

Emperor Zhengde used Xungui to smooth his hand, and he couldn't stop at all. It is a sure thing that the civilian power is weakening under the suppression of the nobles.

All the nobles looked at Chang Feng.

Although Chang Feng was only a marquis, he was a recognized leader among the nobles.

Chang Feng howled: "Your Majesty, Shengming! ”

Only then did all the nobles howl in unison: "Your Majesty, Shengming! ”

Emperor Zhengde said: "Whether the saint is bright or not depends on how the history books evaluate it." The history books were written by the civil officials of the Hanlin Academy. ”

Chang Feng suggested: "Your Majesty, you can send a reliable noble to the side of the Hanlin Academy." ”

Emperor Zhengde didn't think twice: "Among the nobles, you have to count your uncle, you can read and break words." You have a reputation for being a Jinshi! After your errand in the Ministry of Engineering is completed, you will be transferred to the Hanlin Academy for inspection! ”

"Civil officials like to play with words the most, saying that what is black is white and what is white is black."

"After you pass, you have to take a good look at the style of the Hanlin Academy!"

Chang Feng arched his hand: "The old minister will live up to the emperor's expectations." Take a good look at the Hanlin Academy. Let those Hanlin civil officials not keep showing off their cleverness and playing with words. ”

Emperor Zhengde stared at the bright moon in the sky and said something amazing: "I am going to take the time to tour the south and go to the south of the Yangtze River to have a look." ”

As soon as these words came out, all the nobles were silent!

This is in the Ming Dynasty, not the pseudo-Qing Dynasty of Qianlong, who lacked old people and rejoiced in his achievements.

Since Yongle moved the capital, there has not been any emperor in the Ming Dynasty who toured south. There are those who go to the grassland to hunt in the north.

The southern tour is an extremely sensitive matter. Gangnam is the stronghold of the civilian clique.

Take a chestnut. For example, a high school scumbag was admitted to a third-rate pheasant university. Clubbing, opening rooms, and playing games near the school all day long.

Would a scumbag want his parents to suddenly come to school and see his daily life?

The worst of the world's governance is Jiangnan. Jiangnan is a rich place, and the vast majority of civil officials are from the Jiangnan clan.

Jiangnan is like a cauldron that hides dirt and dirt. Now Emperor Zhengde said to lift the lid of the pot and see what was in the pot. The civilian-bureaucratic clique must have reacted violently.

Chang Feng was worried about the safety of Emperor Zhengde. Jiangnan is not the capital. To ensure the safety of His Majesty the Emperor, countless garrisons need to be mobilized. Nine times out of ten, this errand will fall to him Jin Anhou.

In Chang Feng's view, Emperor Zhengde's trip to Jiangnan is far more dangerous than going to Yingzhou last year.

In Yingzhou, Emperor Zhengde only had to deal with the Tatars' swords and guns.

went to Jiangnan, but Emperor Zhengde had to guard against hidden arrows that did not know where to come.

Sometimes, a dark arrow is far more terrifying than an open knife and a gun.

Chang Feng said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the southern tour is a big deal. The minister believes that caution should be exercised. ”

Emperor Zhengde said: "I know that this is a big deal. I didn't say I'd be there this year. Wrapped around his waist for 100,000 yuan, he rode a crane down to Yangzhou. If you live a lifetime, you always have to go to Jiangnan to see. ”

"Besides, I didn't just go to Jiangnan for pleasure. The emperor of Jiangnan Tiangao is far away, and I want to see how those civil officials have managed the first place of finance and taxation for me over the years. ”

Emperor Zhengde said this, and Chang Feng breathed a sigh of relief. The matter is slow, and there is still room for the matter to be turned around.

Emperor Zhengde smiled: "That's it." Chang Qing, Qingyun and the girl of the Xu family have been married for three months. Didn't move? ”

Chang Feng was stunned: "Huh? What kind of movement is the emperor talking about? ”

Emperor Zhengde touched the dragon's belly: "Naturally, it is the movement here." If Xu Ling is pregnant with the blood of the Chang family, your family will be the same family for four generations! ”

Chang Feng said with a smile: "When the ministers and grandsons get married, they have the blessings of the emperor, the queen mother, and the queen. If you want to come to the four generations of the Chang family, the day will not be far away! It's just that there's no movement yet! ”

As the saying goes, newlyweds race over kraft candy.

Chang Qingyun and Xu Ling have just been married for three months. It was really a day and day exercise, and the ghosts cried and howled every night.

The girl of the Xu family is also a bold person who likes to practice martial arts, and she is not informal. The sound of granddaughter-in-law's refreshment every night can be heard even by the regular wind across the hospital.

Chang Feng also sighed with Liu Xiaoyan: "Being young is good." ”

Emperor Zhengde smiled: "When Qingyun has a son and a half daughter, I will personally give the name." I've got my favorite name! ”

At this moment, Zhang Yong hurriedly walked over, and he lowered his voice: "Your Majesty, something happened." ”

Emperor Zhengde asked, "Oh? What's wrong? ”

Zhang Yong replied: "Fuzhou Three Guards mutiny!" ”

Emperor Zhengde frowned: "What? ”

Chang Feng was also shocked when he heard this: Fuzhou mutiny? Counting the time, Jingwu arrived in Fujian to sort out military affairs for only half a month!

Last year, Chang Feng promised You Jingwu to help him intercede in front of Emperor Zhengde, and sent him to Fujian to do official and private affairs together. Let him have the opportunity to go to Yongning to sweep the grave of his biological father You Tianjue.

Now, not long after You Jingwu arrived in Fujian, a mutiny occurred in Fuzhou. It is inevitable that some civil officials will take the opportunity to stir up trouble and attack the Chang family by attacking You Jingwu.

Emperor Zhengde said: "Changfeng." You should find out the cause and effect of this matter as soon as possible. In addition, He Jingwu was ordered to mobilize the local garrison in Fujian to immediately extinguish the Fuzhou Three Guards Mutiny! ”

Chang Feng bowed his hand: "The old minister obeys the order!" ”

The next morning. Sure enough, there was a mistake in the imperial history, and the impeachment of You Jingwu was too harsh to organize the army, so that he forced the Fujian Sanwei to rebel.

Shoufu Yang Tinghe had fought side by side with Chang Feng and You Tianjue in Yongningwei thirty years ago. It stands to reason that he should protect You Jingwu.

But when it comes to the power struggle between civil officials and nobles, as a civil leader, he naturally stands on the side of the imperial historians.

Yang Tinghe said: "Your Majesty, although You Jingwu is good at fighting, he is always young. Impatient and reckless in doing things. The Fujian Mutiny was obviously caused by his over-impatience to purge the military affairs of Fujian. ”

"The minister thought that He Jingwu should be immediately dismissed from all official positions and locked up in Beijing."

Chang Feng scolded in his heart: Yang Tinghe, you are ruthless enough. I don't talk about it at all. Even if you don't give me face, you should at least give the martyred You Tianjue a little face!

If it wasn't for You Tianjue. The two of us have already died in Yongningwei. Where is your current position as head of the cabinet?

When it comes to his own righteous son, it is inconvenient for Chang Feng to go out of class and say more. He gave Xu Guangzuo, the Duke of Chengguo, Zhu Fu, and the British Duke Zhang Lun.

Xu Guangzuo came out of the class: "I don't dare to agree with what the first assistant said. It's not clear what the mutiny was all about. Go up and push You Jingwu to the end? Isn't it too reckless? ”

Zhu Fu echoed: "That's right! You Jingwu is a natural general, martyred and loyal. He is extremely loyal to the emperor. To quell the rebellion of Fuzhou Sanwei, he is still in command! ”

Zhang Lun said: "Your Majesty, the best candidate to quell the Fuzhou Three Guards Mutiny is You Jingwu!" ”

The second assistant Liang Chu raised an objection: "The mutiny was caused by You Jingwu's persecution too much. Wouldn't it be like adding fuel to the fire if he went to put down the rebellion! ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the governor of Fujian should be in charge of counterinsurgency and return the military power of Fujian to the governor of Fujian."

Liang Chutu is poor dagger! After a long time, the purpose of the imperial historians' attack on You Jingwu this morning was to fight for the local civil officials to regain military power!

Today's Emperor Zhengde is not the child emperor at the beginning of his accession to the throne! He is now the true Ninety-Five.

Emperor Zhengde made a decision: "I have made up my mind!" Ordered You Jingwu to quell the rebellion. All the guards in Fujian are under his command. Eight hundred miles to rush to pass the decree to You Jingwu. Within a month, I will see the success of the counterinsurgency! ”

"In addition, the Fusi of Jinyi Weinan Town has stepped up to find out the cause of the mutiny!"

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Chang Feng returned to Nanzhen Fusi.

Wang Miaoxin, Basha, and officials above 1,000 households in Nansi were all waiting for Chang Feng to give orders.

Chang Feng sat on the chair, took a sip of tea, and said calmly: "Don't panic." We have hundreds of eyes and ears in Fujian. Immediately send a message to them so that they can investigate the cause of the mutiny! ”

"In addition, the ears and eyes must cooperate with Jingwu and provide Jingwu with reliable rebel intelligence to assist Jingwu in quelling the rebellion!"

At this moment, a regimental camp named Wang An came to the Fusi Hall in Nanzhen with the support of two brocade-clothed guards.

This Wang An is You Jingwu's confidant, and this time he followed You Jingwu to Fujian to rectify military affairs.

Chang Feng saw him and hurriedly said, "Why did you come back?" ”

Wang An said: "You Shuai Ye asked me to fly into Beijing and show the truth about the 'mutiny' of Fuzhou Sanwei to Hou Ye!" ”

Chang Feng hurriedly said, "Quick, pour him a cup of tea." Wang An, it's not a moment to miss this moment. You take a sip of tea, catch your breath, and speak slowly. ”

Wang An drank tea, slowed down for a while, and then came over and told Chang Feng the truth.

After You Jingwu arrived in Fujian, he found a very disgusting thing.

Emperor Zhengde removed the local governor from the control of the army. The governors were naturally reluctant.

But there's a catch. The military rations of the local guard army are still allocated by the governor's yamen.

Wu Fu, the governor of Fujian, detained the military rations of Fuzhou Sanwei for three or four months. Aren't you going to be my dispatch? Excuse me, starve you guys!

Wu Fu's move is ruthless enough. directly caused a food shortage among the soldiers of Fuzhou Sanwei. On weekdays, the soldiers had to guard against the landing of the Japanese invaders, but they could only eat two meals a day.

Where can You Jingwu endure when he learns about this? directly found the governor Wu Fu and asked him to immediately allocate 30,000 stone of military rations to Fuzhou Sanwei.

Wu Fu spread his hands: "This year's harvest in Fujian is not good. The governor's yamen has no food left! We cut the cracks in the ground and swept the storeroom, and we could make up up to 500 stone of military rations for Sanwei to tide over the difficulties. ”

Asking for 30,000 stones, giving 500 stones, this is simply a way to beg for food.

Although Chang Ponu is a martial artist, he has been by his father-in-law Chang Feng all the year round, and he has learned a lot of things from hearing and seeing.

He knew very well: This is the entire civilian-official group in Fujian, and they are playing against me who has come to rectify military affairs and seize military power!

However, the local grain depot is not under the jurisdiction of You Jingwu. You Jingwu had no choice but to prepare to play and ask Emperor Zhengde to issue an order to open a warehouse and release grain to Fuzhou Sanwei.

Who ever thought that the will had not yet been given? There has been a change in the selection of the governor of Fujian.

Wu Fu received an order from the Ministry of Officials and was transferred to Shandong as the governor.

Wu Fu's abacus crackled: I am about to leave Fujian and go to Lu to take office. If there is a mutiny in Fujian, it has nothing to do with me! The person who should bear the blame for the mutiny is He You Jingwu!

You, You Jingwu, are the chief officers of Fujian's military affairs!

So, Wu Fu found two friends. One is the capital of Zhishi returning to his hometown, Lin Tingyu, and the other is the imperial history Gao Wenda of Zhishi's hometown.

These two brothers have served in the Metropolitan Procuratorate for most of their lives. has a lotus flower with a tongue, and has the ability to jump ashore with the fish in the water.

They were forced by Emperor Zhengde to give office, and they were already holding their stomachs. I can't wait to do something in Fujian, disgusting and disgusting Emperor Zhengde in Beijing!

So the two went to Fuzhou Sanwei. deceived the soldiers of the three guards, saying that the shortage of food in the army was caused by You Jingwu's arrival in Fujian.

You Jingwu pressed the governor's yamen and did not let the governor's yamen give food to the three guards.

The Qiu Ba of Sanwei have no brains, and they have a powder keg temper, and they will explode at one point.

As a result, the three guards gathered to surround You Jingwu's Qin Cha Xingyuan.

Actually, it was said that it was a mutiny. The soldiers of the three guards went to the siege of Qin, and they did not carry any weapons. It's just to ask You Jingwu for an explanation.

But Wu Fu said that this matter was a mutiny.

After listening to Wang An's story, Chang Feng was so angry that he slapped the public case: "It's a bully!" Wu Fu should be killed! Lin Tingyu and Gao Wenda should be killed! ”

"Wang Miaoxin. You immediately rushed to Fujian to arrest Wu Fu, Lin Tingyu, and Gao Wenda! ”

"Send another letter to Jingwu, asking him to immediately open a warehouse and release grain to Fuzhou Sanwei to calm down the incident!"

Wang Miaoxin hesitated slightly: "Lin Tingyu and Gao Wenda are just two Zhishi officials, and they will be arrested." ”

"But Na Wu Fu is planning to be the governor of Shandong. To arrest the governor of a province, it seems that the emperor's decree is needed. ”

Chang Feng waved his hand: "This is not the first year of Zhengde!" Any civil official who is a traitor, let alone a governor, even if it is a squire or a scholar, Jinyiwei can be arrested first and then ask for an order! ”

"You go now!"

"Damn, the widow picks eggplants and doesn't look at the old and tender? Dare to frame my Chang family? Oh, then I'll let them know what the price will be! (End of chapter)
