Chapter 188

It's not just Wang Chengen who feels that Zhu Weiyuan is more expensive than her husband, but in fact, Zhu Weiyuan herself also feels it.

Before she was engaged to Cheng Shijie, she was an unfavored princess, with the title of a princess, but without the treatment of a princess, she lived in the side hall of Renshou Palace, she only had a maid named Gu Ziyi, and only a eunuch named Feng Xuan waited.

If you want to talk about the palace, this is a place where you cannibalize people without spitting out bones, stepping on low and climbing high, bullying the weak and fearing the hard, the weak and the strong, the most cruel place.

Her mother, Concubine Li Kang, is better, after all, she is old, and for a bite to eat, she will sprinkle when she says she will sprinkle it, and she will turn her face when she says it, but she can't.

The stewards and eunuchs in the palace and Gong E did not wear small shoes and put eye medicine on her.

All these changes are because Emperor Chongzhen wants to marry Cheng Shijie, since that time, all this has changed, when the victory of Haizhou came to the palace, countless people congratulated you, every month when the money was paid, there was no longer a deduction, all the silver was given in good condition, and the food was no longer a cold soup.

In the past, the housekeeper who looked at himself with eyes that was not eyes and his nose was not his nose, or the housekeeper who was a eunuch, was careful to accompany the smiling face when he saw himself.

Not only that, but the rewards are obviously more than before, the last time Cheng Shijie sent a large amount of corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes and seafood to Emperor Chongzhen, Zhu Weiyuan also received it, and more than any princess.

Even Gu Ziyi, a palace lady with no rank, now walks with the wind with her head held high, proud like a peacock.

Just like the imperial eunuch like Wang Chengen, Emperor Chongzhen has been the emperor for four years, Zhu Weiyuan has never seen him once, and now within half a year, he has met four times, as for the ordinary miscellaneous eunuchs, they are not even qualified to see her.

Gu Ziyi received gifts from three carts, and in Gu Ziyi's opinion, they can have a big fat year this year, with everything to eat, drink, and use.

Zhu Weiyuan is nothing, she, a poor princess, is used to it.

Gu Ziyi was a little uncomfortable.

After receiving the supplies, it was said that Wang Chengen should also leave, but Wang Chengen did not leave.

"Is there anything else going on with the princess?"

Gu Ziyi looked at Wang Chengen's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, very strange.

Wang Chengen lowered his voice and whispered in front of Gu Ziyi.

When Gu Ziyi heard this, her face suddenly turned red to the base of her neck.

As the saying goes, the emperor's daughter does not worry about getting married. This is an eternal truth. Due to the noble blood of the imperial family, the emperor's daughter will become the coveted goddess in the hearts of men, no matter what she looks like. And thousands of men, once they can climb to the princess, they will become relatives of the emperor. Although there is no real power, it can be said that you don't have to worry about eating and drinking Lazar for the rest of your life.

However, in ancient times, even if you were favored by the princess, if you wanted to be a concubine, you had to go through a strict test before you could get your wish. And the work of this test is completed by the closest and most heartfelt maid around the princess, that is to say, the princess's maid is the examiner of whether you can be a colt or not.

Cheng Shijie's situation is a bit special, he is giving marriage, not to mention that he has no physical problems, even if there is a problem, it is not Princess Le'an's turn to oppose or refuse to marry.

However, the necessary procedures still have to be followed.

After Wang Chengen finished instructing Gu Ziyi, he said goodbye to Zhu Weiyuan.

After Wang Chengen left, Zhu Weiyuan stepped forward to check on Emperor Chongzhen, which can also be said to be a gift from Cheng Shijie, there are many gifts, basically all of them are food, clothing, housing and transportation, but there is no money.

There are dozens of catties of air-dried beef and mutton alone, as well as frozen seafood, fresh seafood, silk and satin, cotton cloth, and cotton.

Zhu Weiyuan looked at Gu Ziyi and said, "Ziyi sent the things to my mother......"

However, Zhu Weiyuan found that Gu Ziyi was a little distracted.

There must be at least one palace maid for trial marriage, but the problem is that Zhu Weiyuan is different from other princesses, the rough palace maids around other princesses, and there are more than ten or twenty palace maids with good appearance, and it is not difficult to pick out a palace maid for trial marriage.

However, it doesn't work here in Zhu Weiyuan, she only has a servant girl like herself, where can she find a princess for trial marriage?

After Zhu Weiyuan called Gu Ziyi several times, she came back to her senses.

However, no matter what you say, what should come will always come, this matter cannot be hidden from Zhu Weiyuan, Zhu Weiyuan either let herself go, or find Gong'e beside Concubine Li Kang, but the problem is that the people around Concubine Li Kang are all old people who have followed Concubine Li Kang for more than ten years, and now they are all older.

If a palace maid in her thirties goes to try to get married, I am afraid that she will be disgusted by Cheng Shijie, a concubine.

This question, going around and around, naturally ran to Concubine Li Kang again.

As the so-called emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, Concubine Li Kang, a ruthless character who dares to tear apart the biological mother of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and dares to splash with civil and military officials, has always maintained a strong ability to control in the palace.

Of course, if she doesn't have this strength, there are few people who want to make Concubine Li Kang die violently.

There are still three catties of nails in the broken boat, Concubine Li Kang has been in the palace for most of her life, and she has fought for most of her life, she must have some confidence, what worries Concubine Li Kang the most is that Chongzhen will take revenge on the old grudge and marry Zhu Weiyuan to a sloppy man.

With Emperor Chongzhen's decision to marry Cheng Shijie, Concubine Li Kang began to investigate Cheng Shijie at the first time, and when she knew that Cheng Shijie was actually seventeen years older than Princess Zhu Weiyuan of Le'an, and she was thirty-six years old, Concubine Li Kang was a little displeased.

The last time Cheng Shijie entered the palace to face the saint, Concubine Li Kang secretly saw Cheng Shijie with her own eyes, this time they met secretly, Cheng Shijie only noticed that someone was secretly observing him, but he didn't expect it to be Concubine Li Kang.

For Cheng Shijie's appearance, appearance and figure, Concubine Li Kang is very satisfied, unlike the average thirty-six or seventeen-year-old man, Cheng Shijie looks only twenty-eight or nineteen years old, much older than most Ming men around thirty years old.

After all, fat people have a lot of collagen on their faces.

What makes Concubine Li Kang even more satisfied is Cheng Shijie's body, Cheng Shijie is in the mouth of the storyteller, that is the Ming version of Changshan Zhao Zilong, he rode alone to rush into battle, killed Mang Gurtai and Derge, and defeated Azig and Duoduo The story is flying all over the sky.

As a famous general in a hundred battles, his health must be good, as a person who has come over, Concubine Li Kang knows that as a woman, she can not ask men to be poor, nor can she not ask men to be gentle, but she can't help but ask for a man's body.

Cheng Shijie is tall and in good health, so he will not be like Princess Yongning's concubine, who died only a month after marriage, making Princess Yongning the only princess in Daming who is still a virgin until she dies.

Concubine Li Kang was actually sighing that when Emperor Chongzhen handed her to raise, she was a timid and fearful character, she only needed to cough, and Emperor Chongzhen would cry in fright.

But because of Cheng Shijie, he successively defeated Jiannu Azig in Jinshi Mountain, later defeated Duoduo in Haizhou, defeated Huang Taiji in Baliwan, and recovered Jinzhou, Haizhou, Gaizhou, Fuzhou, Guangningwei, Liaozhongwei, Liaoyang, recovered thousands of miles of lost land, and greatly injured Jiannu's vitality.

Because of Cheng Shijie, Emperor Chongzhen seems to have won a great victory in martial arts, and in the future, a hundred years later, it will be difficult to get a "martial" temple number.

However, this matter is not important now, the important thing is that Zhu Weiyuan still has one last procedure to go before she gets married, and Zhu Weiyuan has a maid by her side......

But there are many people around her, but they all belong to the older palace maids.

Concubine Li Kang got up and took out a lacquer box from the dark compartment under the bed, and she opened the lacquer box, revealing a golden light: "This is the treasure at the bottom of these boxes in this palace, and I originally wanted to buy some dowry for Wei Yuan...... Go buy off those girls who are trying to get married. ”

Zhu Weiyuan does not have suitable manpower around her, so she needs to have someone around Concubine Li Kang, and Concubine Li Kang has no one, only Queen Zhou is responsible for the chargé d'affaires.

"If there is no problem with Hai Guogong, he can be regarded as a good destination, otherwise, even if this palace is desperate for this life, he can't watch Wei Yuan stay alive!"

Just when Concubine Li Kang was about to bribe Gong E, Cheng Shijie and Emperor Chongzhen drank too much.

Of course, as a cadre of the alcohol test, Cheng Shijie's alcohol consumption is still okay, he knows when to get drunk and when not to get drunk.

Watching Emperor Chongzhen persuade him to drink one after another, Cheng Shijie knew that Emperor Chongzhen needed him to get drunk.

So, after three glasses of wine, Cheng Shijie's tongue became bigger, and he became a little unscrupulous, pulling Emperor Chongzhen to worship him.

This can surprise Gao Qiqian and Cao Huachun into a cold sweat.

Emperor Chongzhen was not drunk, he was very sober: "Cheng Qing, you came to the capital alone, you already have a house, I won't reward you, but there are not a few people around you who can't do it!" ”

Hearing this, Cheng Shijie suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, is this Chongzhen wanting to insert eyeliner next to him?

Unable to agree to this, he deliberately used the strength of the wine to wave his arms vigorously, slanting his drunken eyes and shouting, "No...... No...... No, I have ...... by my side Yes...... Person...... Order about! ”

Emperor Chongzhen then smiled and said, "I ...... You didn't understand, now ...... Jiannu was defeated, don't want to ease this breath in a few years, you should start a family, when will you marry Le'an! ”

Only then did Cheng Shijie understand that Emperor Chongzhen was just urging marriage.

But it's not appropriate to take the procrastination trick, just marry, whether you have a hole or not, you have the final say.

"What?"

"How about another drink?"

Cheng Shijie hurriedly picked up the empty wine glass, raised his head and drank, and drank for a long time before finding that there was no wine: "Bar!" ”

"Full, full!"

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "What about my proposal?" The sixth day of the first lunar month is an auspicious day! ”

Cheng Shijie looked at the historian next to him and recorded: "In the sixth year of Chongzhen, on the sixth day of the first month, Daji, easy to marry, Hai Guogong proposed to him, and he was allowed to ......"

I'm grass, it's ......

Just when Cheng Shijie and Emperor Chongzhen were drinking one cup after another, a young official wearing a seven-grade official uniform put his arm around the shoulders of Zhang Jin, the only son of Taikang Bo Zhang Guoji, and drank happily.

When the wine was thick, the seven-grade official sighed: "Brother Zhang, I only hate a certain official for being humble and soft-spoken, if not, I will definitely seek justice for Brother Zhang!" ”

Zhang Jin is a gentleman, in fact, he is not stupid, they all know very well who can be offended and who cannot be offended, just like when he was provoked by someone, he went to find trouble with Cheng Shijie, but was hung by Cheng Shijie for three days, and his father Zhang Guoji spent more than 100,000 taels of silver for peace.

This incident also reminded Zhang Jin that there were many people in the capital that he couldn't afford to mess with.

If this official didn't mention it, Zhang Jin almost forgot about the contradiction between him and Cheng Shijie, but now that he mentions it, especially when Zhang Jin is drunk for seven or eight minutes, as the so-called wine is strong and intimidating, he began to brag: "I, Zhang Jin, who dares to ...... it"

"Brother Zhang, have you forgotten Cheng Shijie's humiliating revenge?"

“(⊙o⊙)…”

Zhang Jin was very unhappy in his heart, isn't this a pot that can't be opened? Not to mention that it is now the Chongzhen Dynasty, even in the Apocalypse Dynasty, his sister Zhang Yan is the queen of the dynasty, and he can't afford to provoke a general like Cheng Shijie with heavy troops.

"Brother Zhang, you are right, heroes don't suffer immediate losses, Cheng Shijie, you can't afford to mess with ......"

"Who said I couldn't be messed with!"

"How do you mess with it!"

"I ......"

Zhang Jinzhen doesn't know how to deal with Cheng Shijie, after all, he has no power or power, he is just a small general, even if Tai Kangbo is the number one person in the capital, but who will look at him as a real dignitary?

The official whispered softly in Zhang Jin's ear.

Zhang Jin looked shocked: "You...... You ......"

"I'm scared!"

"I'm not afraid, it's just my sister ......"

"If Cheng Shijie sees Queen Zhang, he dares to commit it?"

The official put his arm around Zhang Jin and said, "You just have to do this...... Make sure that Cheng Shijie can't eat and walk around, even if he is not exterminated, he will be dismissed from the official position, as long as he has no official body, how do you want to get him, it doesn't depend on your mood? ”

If it was a normal situation, Zhang Jin could indeed tell what was good and what was a lie, but now he really drank too much.

……

Zhengyangmen, the Wen Mansion of Tianjingfang. occupies most of the alleys, and is one of the best mansions in the capital.

In terms of scale, this mansion is about the same as the Shenyang Forbidden City, occupying nearly 100 acres. The decoration is extremely luxurious.

This mansion was originally the residence of Zheng Guotai, the younger brother of Emperor Zheng's concubine, and when he was powerful and powerful, he lived in a military position and served as the military governor of Zuodu. However, after the death of Emperor Wanli, Emperor Zheng's power was gone, and in the Chongzhen Dynasty, the mansion was taken back and given to Wen Tiren.

Zheng Guotai's mansion is not like a century-old wealthy family, as long as it is a century-old wealthy family, it has long been washed away from the traces of the outbreak, like a wealthy family and extravagance, integrated into the bones.

This house shows the temperament of the nouveau riche, a large rockery with a height of more than three zhang, a circumference of dozens of zhang, the mountain stone on this rockery, roughly thought to be an ordinary stone, take a closer look, you will find that this is not Xiuyu, is Dushan jade, or Lantian jade, which is mixed with agate and national jade, in this pile of rockery, it is green grass, flowers, flowing water, birds chirping, and a real mountain is no different.

At the end of the alley is the back garden of the Wen Mansion, a small door was opened, and a seven-grade official climbed down from the carriage, took a lantern to illuminate the paved stone alleyway under his feet, and walked to the small gate of the back garden and knocked a few times.

The moonlight is light, the branches and shadows are slanted, there is a carved wood warm pavilion in the west corner of the garden, Wen Tiren sits on the soft bed of the warm pavilion, and a beautiful woman wearing a yellow half-length blouse and a moonlight skirt stands beside him. The beautiful woman watched the officials come over, and left with the maid and the maid who accompanied her, and let Nuan Ge out to discuss things with their men.

"Hurrying to the city in the middle of the night, what's the hurry?" Wen Ti Renzheng sat up and calmly looked into the eyes of the seven-rank official.

"The one from the Taicomber Mansion is on the set today."

Wen Tiren smiled faintly and said: "The bait is just that, who loves to bite, who to bite?" ”

Wen Tiren grabbed a sugar-fried chestnut from the table, peeled off the shell and chewed it in his mouth, he stared at the Qipin official: "You don't know anything, you haven't done anything." ”

"Yes, students understand!"

Wen Tiren sighed and said: "You are also concerned about chaos, Cheng Shijie is not an easy person to deal with, after all, he has raised his face today, it is not good to move him for the time being, the one from Taikang Bo Mansion is not a person who has made things happen, it is not good to get involved too much in this matter, you understand!" ”

"Students understand!"

……

Dongzhimen, Chengfu.

In the backyard of Cheng Shijie's mansion, when Cheng Shijie woke up, there was a messy noise outside.

He looked at the sky, the sky outside was still lead gray, and then looked at his phone, the time was less than eight o'clock, he returned to the afterlife last night, and it was already a little faster when he came back again.

Bubble bath, when he fell asleep, it was close to three o'clock, and after sleeping for less than five hours, Cheng Shijie obviously didn't sleep well, and said with some displeasure: "What's the matter?" ”

Luo hurriedly said: "Slave go and let people see!" ”

After a short time, Luo Shi reported: "Guogong, outside the door is Jinyiwei, say...... Say ......"

"Say what?"

Luo said: "They said that Empress Zhang is missing and is looking for her!" ”

"Just look for it!"

Cheng Shijie said disappreciably: "Is it possible, people are in my house?" ”

Luo Shi said unspeakably: "They said yes!" ”

Cheng Shijie suddenly thought of the crux of the question: "What are you talking about, Empress Zhang?" ”

"That's right!"

Luo said: "Empress Zhang went back to Taikang Bofu yesterday to save relatives, separated when the lamp was held, the palace door was closed directly, but there was no return to the palace, this morning Jinyi Wei patrolled the street, and found that Empress Zhang's carriage was lost in the back alley of Chengfu...... The groom's coachman, the accompanying brocade guards, and the attendants, more than a dozen people are missing! ”

"Can it be more obvious?"

Cheng Shijie got up to change clothes, and Luo stepped forward to change clothes for Cheng Shijie.

It didn't take long for Jin Yiwei to calm Liu Qiao and bring Jin Yiwei to the front hall.

"Meet the Duke of Haiguo!"

Cheng Shijie asked, "What's going on?" ”

"Empress Zhang is missing!"

"If you are missing, what do you mean by coming to my house?"

Cheng Shijie pointed at Liu Qiao and said angrily: "How obvious is this?" Don't tell Ben Shuai, you can't see it, do you think Cheng Mansion is too small, or can't fit a carriage? ”

Liu Qiao was really speechless.

Tai Kang Bo Mansion reported to the official, Empress Zhang disappeared after the province, this case is full of weirdness, outside the gate of Tai Kang Bo Mansion, left a broken crossbow arrow, engraved with the six words Ning Navy Guard Bureau, obviously, the broken arrow came from the Ning Navy.

But the question is, Cheng Shijie is full of food, so he will move Emperor Chongzhen's scales?

Liu Qiao also understands that someone poured dirty water on Cheng Shijie in this matter, but the problem is that these people are too bold to dare to make a game against Queen Zhang.

Liu Qiao said seriously: "This was found at the scene!" ”

Cheng Shijie glanced at it and said with a faint smile: "It's made by the Ning Navy Crossbow Workshop, what's the problem?" This kind of crossbow machine, before and after the production of more than 2 million, Liaodong World War, the Dongjiang Army and the Guanning Army each received more than 500,000 pieces, what can it say? ”

Liu Qiao smiled bitterly: "The lower officials are disturbed!" ”

Liu Qiao took the brocade guards and everyone was about to retire.

"Wait!"

Cheng Shijie said with a smile: "If I don't let you search the house today, Ben Shuai can't tell if he is full of mouths." ”

"Have you ever thought that if there is an accident, there will be unexpected things in your mansion!"

"It's your business!"

Cheng Shijie yawned, got up and walked towards the backyard: "If you want to search, please search!" ”

Jin Yiwei, who was beside Liu Qiao, said: "Lord Zhenfu, what should I do now?" ”

Liu Qiao gritted his teeth and said, "Search!" ”

Not long after, a few bloody clothes were found in the hay pile in the front yard of Cheng Shijie's mansion, which were the clothes of Empress Zhang's concubine.
