Chapter 195: The Liu Family

Everyone knows that the Zhenguo Mansion of Xuanfu has an extra Mrs. Liu who is deeply favored, but they don't know that Zhu Gang, the second son of the Marquis of Funing, has an extra grandmother surnamed Liu by his side.

Qin Liu's whereabouts began to become a mystery.

Even her husband, Maang, didn't know how she was doing.

Qin Liu only occasionally sent him letters, asking him to take care of Datong's coal and iron mines, and then expand production when she returned.

Qin Liu is quite satisfied with his current life, but he is a little involuntarily.

Zhu Qi, the Marquis of Funing, was appointed as the chief military officer of Liangguang as early as September of the twelfth year of Zhengde.

That's a huge fat shortage.

The Ming Dynasty has been implementing a maritime ban policy for many years, and the official ships of the imperial court go to sea and go back and forth from Guangdong City.

However, in the vast coastlines of Guangdong and Guangxi, if a private ship wants to go to sea to smuggle it, it will be strictly supervised by the chief military officers of Guangdong and Guangxi.

In recent years, overseas trade has become increasingly frequent, and there are many private smuggling vessels.

In order for these smuggling ships to travel safely, they inevitably have to spend money to get around.

Funinghou didn't do anything, so he had a daily income.

Funing Hou, who won the trust of Emperor Zhengde, kept half of it for his own use, and handed over the other half to Emperor Zhengde's small treasury, realizing a lot of money.

He made a fortune and remembered to pull Emperor Zhengde, and other officials in Liangguang and Guangxi did not make a fortune, but they were very stable.

Emperor Zhengde didn't expect that the income of Liangguang would be so large, so he looked at the rich Jiangnan.

The coastline of Jiangnan is no shorter than that of Liangguang.

Prior to this, he inspected the nine sides many times and eliminated the stubborn diseases accumulated by the border army for many years.

With the lesson of Anhua's rough solution to the tuntian, Emperor Zhengde added the reclaimed wasteland in Shabaozi Town and even Xuanfu to the tuntian, and introduced cold-resistant and high-yield crops such as corn and potatoes to the border army's tuntian, which solved the problem of food shortage for the border army and laid a solid foundation for the security of the northern defense line of the Ming Dynasty for more than ten years.

Emperor Zhengde took Qin Liu and Zhu Gang to Luoyang.

Liu Jian, the former assistant who is nearly ninety years old, is still alive and well.

If Emperor Zhengde has the most guilt about anyone, it must be the Liu family.

Shousuke, who was over seventy years old at the beginning, persuaded him every day to be diligent in his studies, to be motivated, and to hold sutra feasts.

He basically left ear in and out of ear.

Later, when there was Liu Xuejiang's incident, Liu Jian, together with Xie Qian and others, threatened the emperor to kill the Eight Tigers.

Emperor Zhengde agreed to Liu Jian and Xie Qian's Zhishi, didn't he feel guilty in his heart?

The fuse of this struggle is still his own one that was calculated.

As for the further persecution of Liu Jian by Liu Jin and others, it caused him to be furious.

Liu Jin's explanation made him turn his suspicious gaze to the new Shoufu Liu Dongyang.

And Liu Dong's saving grace to himself firmly nailed Emperor Zhengde to the pillar of guilt.

When the Empress Dowager left Liu Xuejiang in the palace, didn't he have a chance to let her out of the palace?

Of course there is.

It's just that how could he want to?

He sold dog meat on the head of a sheep, and approached Liu Xuejiang openly under the banner of matching Liu Xuejiang and Zhu Yue.

In fact, he is secretly brushing his favorability.

The mottled bloodstains in the history books have long told him that as an emperor, he cannot marry the granddaughter of Shoufu.

But this inability only stimulated his inner desire even more.

As an emperor, he still has a woman he can't get?!

So, when it was calculated, didn't there be his own deliberate connivance?

It's just that he didn't expect that it would cause such a series of things in the future.

And the person who suffered the disaster was not him, it was the weak Liu Xuejiang and the Liu family who had already delegated power.

And he owes the Liu family an apology.

Liu Jian did not visit Emperor Zhengde in person on the grounds that he was ill.

He was just an inconspicuous Hanlin in the Hanlin Academy, and after becoming the teacher of Emperor Hongzhi, he slowly emerged.

Emperor Hongzhi trusted him abnormally, and entrusted him with major affairs in the court for many years, and often called Liu Jian to discuss matters alone.

After decades of knowing each other, doesn't he have a teacher-student relationship for the gentle-tempered and diligent emperor?

Love me, love my dog.

At that time, Emperor Zhengde was still the prince of the East Palace, he was sick and bedridden, and Emperor Hongzhi had no intention of ruling for a few months.

Emperor Hongzhi held Liu Jian's hand on his deathbed, this old man who was over seventy years old, was not moved?

It was he who conscientiously assisted Emperor Zhengde to ascend the throne and assist the government.

However, he didn't expect that his granddaughter, who was already engaged to Tanhualang of the Xie family, would be calculated to this extent.

His resoluteness was so dangerous that he wanted to kill Liu Jin and the Eight Tigers, that is, he gave the choice to the emperor.

Between the old minister and the old minister's granddaughter, you always have to choose one.

As an old politician who has been planning for many years, if he really wants to take revenge and kill the Eight Tigers, can he only rely on non-lethal means like Zhishi?

It's just that he didn't expect that his retreat would lead to the death of his two sons and eldest grandson.

The pain of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person can only be known if you have experienced it yourself.

If it weren't for Liu Jian's experience of too many ups and downs when he was young, and he experienced seven catastrophes without dying, he might not have been able to persevere.

Qin Liu had some respect and fear for this grandfather Liu Xuejiang in his memory.

Respect comes from Liu Xuejiang's memory, and he is afraid that this old politician will see through that he is not his legitimate daughter-in-law.

Fortunately, I didn't come face to face with Liu Jian.

However, the appearance of another person plunged Qin Liu into great grief.

She is familiar with and feels kind to Hu Guangsi's cousin.

When Hu Guangsi talked to her, he did not avoid Emperor Zhengde and Zhu Gang.

"Ah Jiang, Cousin Cheng En didn't die back then," Hu Guangsi's face was deep and sad, "He survived and joined the rebel army." It is said that he has also been to Bazhou and the village where you live. ”

"Cheng En's cousin joined the rebel army, the famous Liu Hui, because of his and Zhao Qi's efforts, the rebel army did not harass civilians. Yang Hu, who killed innocents indiscriminately, also died in battle. ”

Qin Liu's heart was shocked.

"Liu Liu and Liu Qi have been uprisings for several years, but there are not many ordinary people who have suffered from the poison."

"The root cause is that Cousin Cheng En's chess used himself as a chess game and sacrificed himself to enter the game."

"Cousin Cheng En and Zhao Qi are real heroes."

"Because of the fierce resistance of the rebel army, the imperial court reformed the Hebei horse system to reduce and alleviate the taxes and pressures borne by the people."

Emperor Zhengde couldn't hide the shock in his eyes.

Shousuke's grandson and granddaughter both went to join the rebel army that rebelled against the imperial court!

Old man Liu, does you hate yourself so deeply?!

However, he left his blood behind and did not allow him to wither away in the process of fleeing.

Although the Funing Hou Mansion has made a great contribution behind this, he does not think that there is no effort from the Liu family.

Liu Jian's avoidance made Emperor Zhengde's idea of seeking inner salvation empty.

On the contrary, he regarded Qin Liu as a lifesaver who could forgive him.
