Without saying a word, Wang Zheng began to pack his luggage for Chu Fan.

Chu Fan stopped Wang Zheng and said, "Big brother, what are you doing?" ”

"How can you let your brother live in a prison cell, even if it is clean, it is too unlucky, not to mention that there is such a ghost man next to him, no, no, it is too unlucky."

Chu Fan smiled and said, "Big brother, this Ganzhou Wei is not directly managed by you after all, you take me out, it is a violation of the rules, I am not in a hurry to leave, isn't it good here?" Clean and tidy, and free guards at the door. ”

"If he dares, I'll let you out, what can he do with me?"

"Big brother, you just let me live, it's really good here, the two brothers outside the door are also very good, you can come to me at any time if you have something, why let me move out?"

"How can Big Brother watch you spend your days in this cell?"

"Big brother, you just listen to me, when it's time for me to go out, I will naturally go out, and I will ask him Shi Sen to invite me out."

Seeing that Chu Fan couldn't be reluctant, Wang Zheng no longer persuaded him, and ordered the guards to buy two more beds, and he and Qiao Feng also lived in the prison.

Feelings: These people are going to occupy the Ganzhou Wei Prison?

In recent days, Shi Sen has suffered a loss, and he didn't dare to provoke Chu Fan again, so he let them live in the prison.

Chu Fan and An Duode were chattering in the cell every day, discussing, comparing and drawing pictures from time to time.

On this day, Ganzhou Wei ushered in a guard of honor, which was large-scale, beating gongs and drums, opening the way with nameplates, and the people avoided it.

The guards reported back to the Ganzhou Guard, and Wang Zheng and Shi Sen led hundreds of military attachés of all sizes to greet them in front of the guard.

This formation is comparable to the arrival of the emperor, but it is not the emperor, but the representative of the emperor.

Gao Huai, the chief eunuch of the Great Inner Division, served directly in front of the palace of the Wanli Emperor, and was one of the most trusted eunuchs in Wanli.

Although Lord Wanli is not like some of his ancestors, let the eunuchs bring disaster to the country, but he does not exclude the eunuchs, use them when they should be used, and waste them when they should be abolished, so that eunuchs of this grade like Gao Huai are no less than the visits of the first rank of the imperial court, as for why such a high-level leader came.

This trip is not for anything else, looking for Chu Fan.

Since Chu Fan played around in Tibet and unified Tibet, after Emperor Wanli received the recital, in addition to officially sending a congratulatory letter to Tibet and giving the little prince a canonization document, he also took a note and arranged for Chu Fan to return to the palace as soon as possible to meet him.

As a result, after waiting for more than half a month, the Tibetan area replied that Chuzun Danpa had left Tibet and went to the north.

Emperor Wanli thought about it, if he wants Chu Fan to come back, he must be rehabilitated, if he is rehabilitated, no one will carry the pot of defeat in Liaodong, and the emperor can't carry the blame, right?

Since he can't be rehabilitated, it doesn't seem appropriate to let Chu Fan roll back directly, think about it, send a chief eunuch as a messenger, and go to Ganzhou Wei to pick him up, so there will always be face, right?

Yes, Gao Huai walked for more than two months and finally came to this Ganzhou Wei.

The Qincha represents the emperor, and the escort is the holy decree, so it is equivalent to the emperor's presence, and the honor guard must also be of high standard.

Under the yellow Luo umbrella, Gao Huai held the holy decree in his hand, sat on the sliding pole, and slowly stopped in front of the guard.

Seeing that everyone had already knelt in front of the door, Gao Huai walked down the pole and said, "In accordance with the emperor's holy decree, Chu Fan of the Ganzhou Health Inspection School received the order. ”

As soon as Shi Sen heard this, he was already sweating a neck.

According to his train of thought, Chu Fan made such a big mistake, and it was impossible for him to turn over again, but after all, he was a foreign official, and he didn't know Chu Fan's status in the court at all, so he dared to make things difficult in every way

Chu, this emperor personally sent someone to the guard to give him an order, no matter whether it is good or bad, this person is really terrible.

Since Chu Fan is his direct subordinate, only he should be the most suitable for this will, so Shi Sen trembled and returned: "In accordance with the holy will, the minister will arrange for Chu Fan to receive the order." ”25

Gao Huai looked around and saw that Chu Fan was not in the greeting sequence, and he was slightly unhappy.

According to Chu Fan's level, it can be said that he is the lowest level among officials.

But this Ganzhou Wei, the biggest official is only Shi Sen, an unpopular six-grade official, so the people who came to greet him were basically some sesame petty officials, although Chu Fan was a small official, but he should still be there on this occasion, after all, he is different from other ten household chiefs and hundred household chiefs, he belongs to the military attache sequence.

Gao Huai asked, "What about Lord Chu?" Take me to him. ”

When Shi Sen heard this question, he was also stunned at the scene, and he couldn't answer, how to say? Say I'm locked up?

But fortunately, Shi Sen was witty, and immediately said: "Qin Cha issued an edict, how can you let Qin Cha find him, I will let him take the decree." ”

Gao Huai didn't eat that, after all, in the palace, Gao Huai took the most points from Chu Fan.

Chu Fan has nothing else, that is, he has a lot of money, he is more generous everywhere, and he will reward him when he sees his father-in-law in the palace, and the amount is not small, not for anything else, but if there is news, it can be passed on a little, and he can report it faster when he sees the emperor, after all, Chu Fan was a person who was on the cusp of the storm, and he was the tide of the times, and it was not good to have some information.

Although it is said that it is a formal etiquette for Chu Fan to receive the decree, but he has short hands and a soft mouth, the big financier of the year, the chief soldier of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, the second auxiliary minister, the head of the household department, the current Tibetan Dazun Danba, the founder of the royal company, this identity, Gao Huai dares to let Chu Fan come to receive the decree?

It's too late for this kind of person to stammer, only an idiot like Shi Sen will find trouble for him.

Another smart man, obviously wanting to embarrass Shi Sen, walked out of the crowd and knelt on the ground to report: "Lord Hui Qincha, in the lower Tianshui Wei Admiral Wang Zheng, now Tianshui Wei patrols the defense, just know."

Where Lord Daochu is, please come with me.

"It turned out to be Lord Wang, no courtesy, where is Lord Chu, take me to see it."

The group followed Wang Zheng forward, and even Gao Huai no longer sat on the sliding pole, trotting all the way with the holy decree.

Shi Sen followed behind, and he didn't dare to make a sound, and his heart was overturned.

Shi Sen knew in his heart that this Lord Qincha's attitude towards Chu Fan was so warm, presumably it was not a bad thing in the holy decree, most of it was to reinstate Chu Fan official, or promote or something, so the dead eunuch was so lowly and wanted to see Chu Fan in person.

If this Chu Fan is promoted to one or two levels to become an official in another place, he will have the right to speak out to his uncle and himself, and he will not intersect with him.

But if he is transferred back to the capital and becomes a big official, he will not want to target himself in the future, and his life will not be easy.

The most terrifying thing is that if Chu Fan is promoted on the spot, or even becomes his own leader, he will really not be able to eat and walk around.

The more I thought about it, the weaker my legs became, and the more I thought about it, the more scared I became, but I still followed me to the door of the prison.

I saw Gao Huai covering his brows with his hand, looked up at the big characters on the door, and suddenly his face sank, and said, "Lord Chu is in the prison?" ”

At this point, Gao Huai still didn't believe that Chu Fan was locked up, and he still thought that Chu Fan was guarding the prison here.

But as soon as he entered the prison, he was dumbfounded, and saw that Chu Fan was sitting in the cell, with wooden fences erected on all sides, and Chu Fan was chatting with An Duode.

But as soon as he approached, Gao Huai was also stupid, although this was locked up in a prison cell, but this treatment, desk, bed, coffee table, dining table, everything was available, the small cell was full, but it was spotless and clean.

What the hell is this playing? Gao Huai was puzzled.

Chu Fan was also very surprised when he saw so many people, and when he walked out of the cell, he saw that it was Gao Huai leading dozens of people, who were in the middle of the corridors of each cell, holding the yellow holy decree scroll in his hand, and looked at Chu Fan with a confused expression.

Chu Fan reacted a little faster, immediately knelt down, kowtowed, and said, "Chen Chu Fan has seen Lord Qincha." ”

Gao Huai saw Chu Fan kneeling and kowtowing, and hurriedly stood up, making a proud appearance, but then he didn't announce the order, and hurriedly attached himself and helped Chu Fan up.

He half-knelt down and asked Chu Fan to say goodbye: "Lord Chu, please accept the order." As he spoke, he handed the holy decree to Chu Fan.

This first time is Chu Fan kneeling to the emperor, and this time it is Gao Huai kneeling Chu Fan.

Gao Huai is so smart, he has seen Chu Fan's power with his own eyes, and the relationship between the emperor and Chu Fan is even more like a mirror in his heart, this lord, don't stammer.

After greeting each other, everyone waited for Gao Huai to announce the decree, but it was handed directly to Chu Fan and there was no follow-up, and they all felt unhappy immediately.

And Chu Fan picked up the holy decree and walked into the cell.

Open the holy decree, only to see that it is rare to get the emperor's own handwriting, to the effect of: "Chu Aiqing, I heard that you have made contributions in Tibet, very relieved, after the royal company profits, the formation of a new Qi family army, has arrived in Baishan to confront the Japanese people, with the current results of the household reform, Aiqing has made great contributions, and you will atone for your sins, return to the dynasty to see you, and admire this." ”

The emperor is talking softly, after all, Chu Fan is carrying the black pot for him, and now he is embarrassed to call him back if he doesn't say a few words about his safety.

Chu Fan received all the holy decrees, walked out and said, "My father-in-law has worked hard all the way, and it is inconvenient for me to go out, how about entertaining my father-in-law here?" Qiao Feng brought good wine from Tianshui, and today he is reminiscing with his father-in-law. ”

In the second half of this sentence, Gao Huai didn't care, the key was that the words inconvenient to go out were particularly harsh, and Shi Sen on the side, the urine was already flowing out, and he kept shaking, just waiting for Chu Fan to clean him up.

"Lord Chu, I just want to ask, why do you live in this prison? Be? Dedicated to working here? ”

Chu Fan smiled and said, "Well, this, I specially asked Master Shi to arrange it for me, how about it?" Isn't it quiet? ”

"My lord, then you said that it is inconvenient to go out, right?"

Chu Fan patted Gao Huai's shoulder, leaned close to his ear and whispered, "I have so much money, I don't feel at ease when I put it elsewhere." ”

"Hahaha." The two of them burst out laughing together.

said that Gao Huai might not believe it, saying that he had a lot of money, it was really impossible not to believe it.

Since Chu Fanren is also safe, Gao Huai will no longer pursue this matter, and stay in the prison to drink with peace of mind, although he always feels not so comfortable.

During the banquet, Gao Huai gave a detailed introduction to Chu Fan's reform of the royal company and the household department.

After more than a year of reform, now the country's financial burden has been alleviated, although it is not yet possible to form a large army to resist foreign enemies, strengthen the border expenditure, but it is no longer stretched, this time the emperor let Chu Fan go back, in fact, he wants to continue to promote the reform matters, after all, Wanli has seen the hope of the country.

In addition to national affairs, Chu Fan needs to go back to help Wanli, and there is another thing that makes the emperor very uncomfortable, because he wants Chu Fan to go back and continue to help the emperor deal with it.

It all started a few years ago.

When Wanli was not in power, Zhang Yutong's grandfather Mr. Zhang Juzheng was the first assistant minister of the cabinet, and under the arrangement of Empress Dowager Li and Zhang Juzheng, the fourteen-year-old Wanli Emperor married his wife and became the queen.

Why did you marry a wife so early?

In the eyes of the ancients, a man can only start a business when he gets married, and a man will mature when he gets married, so he married the queen to Wanli early, and when the time comes, when does Juzheng not want to work, or if he dies early, the little emperor can immediately come out to pro-government.

But for Wanli, who is only fourteen years old, this is not too happy.

Young people, more or less have fantasies about love, and they haven't been free to fall in love, and they haven't consulted Wanli himself, so Zhang Juzheng and his mother stuffed this girl into your bed, this is your wife.

So Wanli doesn't approve of this queen very much, and he usually doesn't spoil this girl very much.

Of course, Wanli was still young at the time, and he was more keen on playing a cricket, playing a slingshot or something, for women, I remembered to take a break together, and I couldn't think of it, so I left it in the harem.

So much so that this queen is also idle in the harem all day long, with nothing to do.

Women are easy to pull right and wrong when they are idle, but this queen mother is very smart and never causes trouble, and because she is the queen chosen by the Empress Dowager Li, she is naturally very close to the Empress Dowager.

seems to be a very happy family, but there is a big flaw, the queen has never had children.

It stands to reason that in fact, the queen did not give birth to a son, which is not too much of a problem, because the two have only been married for three years, Wanli is very playful, and has no time to be with the queen all the time, so under normal circumstances, it is not uncommon to have no children, and the two of them are not very old, and it is nothing to wait, but as a royal family, it is not good to have no grandson, which can make the Empress Dowager Li anxious, hurry up and choose a concubine.

As a result, the will was returned by Zhang Juzheng.

It's not that the emperor won't be allowed to marry a wife, it's just that Lord Zhang thinks that if you recruit a concubine like this, you can't recruit a suitable candidate.

After all, the ladies don't really want to enter the palace.

Unless it is for political needs, who wants to push their daughter into this fire pit?

Mr. Zhang believes that when the emperor is looking for a concubine, he must ensure the quality, don't look too ugly, don't have a bad family background, don't have no culture.

But a girl from a good family, who wants to send it to the palace? This entry into the palace gate is as deep as the sea, once you enter, you will become a victim of politics, and you may not be able to be a concubine or something, and you will not be able to live a normal life for the rest of your life, so the outstanding famous families in all aspects will definitely not be willing to send it in.

However, Mr. Zhang Juzheng had a lot of methods, and added four words to the original text.

The original text is "Selected to enter the palace." "It was changed by him to "select into the palace and canonize the concubine." ”。

The ingenuity is ingenious in the last four words, you promise first, determine the treatment, so that a good person will send the girl.

Soon the holy decree of selecting concubines was issued to the whole country, and officials from all over the country were thinking about whether to send their daughters into the palace, but Mr. Wanli did something he regretted for many years at this juncture.

On this day in the queen mother's bedroom, the emperor felt a little hot and said wash his face.

A palace maid brought the basin up and waited for the emperor to wash his face.

As a result, maybe it's hot weather, people are easy to get angry, and when they saw that this palace maid was very good-looking, they couldn't hold back for a while, so they gave this palace maid a blessing.

It stands to reason that it is normal for the emperor to take a fancy to someone and want to be lucky, but he can't be like a tiger and lion in the animal world, patting his ass and leaving.

According to the rules, it is still necessary to leave a small gift for others as a token, to put it bluntly, I am afraid that you will not admit it in the future.

After all, once you are fortunate by the emperor, your status is different, and your emperor can't take advantage of it in vain.

For the emperor, it's not that he likes this palace maid surnamed Wang, that is, the weather is hot, and the fatigue is relieved, and the feelings are not to be talked about, but Mr. Wanli is in a good mood today, and the palace maid serves very well, so he left a piece of jewelry.

It didn't take long for the matter of choosing a concubine to be settled, and among the new concubines selected, Wanli's favorite Zheng family appeared, and she was canonized as Concubine De.

Last time, when the wine was sparse and the wealth was sparse, the minister scolded Concubine De and the emperor all day long.

Wanli, who had Concubine De, quickly forgot about the palace maid.

As a result, not long after, the palace maid found out that she was pregnant.

Wanli, who received the news, was not as excited as to be a father, but a little annoyed.

The scumbag Wanli was originally a whim for the palace girl, and he had no sincerity, but this shot was too accurate, and he actually hit the bull's-eye.

Wanli originally wanted to repay the debt, but the living note will not be fake, it is written in black and white, which year and day is your old man, and which palace maid is scum.

Seeing that he can't get over, then hide, Wanli is very handy with procrastination, and as a result, he dragged out a son.

The emperor's son, that is, the dragon species, gave birth to the eldest son of the royal family, which can be said to be a great achievement, although Emperor Wanli no longer wants to be a palace maid, and he also wants to give people a name, so Concubine Gong took the throne like this. I heard that the emperor had a son, and the whole country was jubilant, it can be said that there are successors to the royal family, and the court is politically stable, and this little prince has played a very important role.

Everyone was happy, but Wanli was not very happy, because although his favorite concubine De was also pregnant with his unremitting efforts, she gave birth to a daughter. But the emperor was unwilling, his will was very strong, and in the angry scolding of the ministers, he still worked tirelessly to cultivate the land of Concubine De.

In the end, perhaps it was moved by the mother who sent the child, and three years later, she gave birth to a son named Zhu Changxun.

At this moment, Mr. Wanli can be regarded as very happy, he didn't like the palace maid and her son Zhu Changluo very much, but now he has a younger son, of course he is happy.
