    In the ninth year of Zhengde, it was also the year of Jingcha.  The last time he used the capital to go to war was in the third year of Zhengde, when Liu Jin took the opportunity to clean up the rest of Liu Xie's party.  The situation is changing, and now everyone inside and outside the government thinks that this time the Beijing Procuratorate is going to clean up the remaining members of the Eunuch Party.  Sure enough, the Metropolitan Procuratorate's first shot at the beginning of the year was to target people who had something to do with Liu Jin.  "It's just that this person is not an eunuch.  But, King Ning.  Luo Feng, the Censor of the Thirteenth Road in Nanjing, and others said: "King Ning became more arrogant and arrogant since he traveled to Jin and begged for his guards. He conquered wealthy families, invaded and conquered farmland, and resorted to lewd punishments and cruel methods, leading to the annihilation of the entire clan. It started in the provincial capital.  As for the countryside, where the benefits lie, there are hundreds of cages. Businessmen dare not come in and out, and boats dare not dock. How can the people suffer misfortune? " He also said: "The three divisions of Fu and An are used as bait. No one dares to rest, and would rather sit back and watch the people.  The whole court was in an uproar because they were afraid of betraying the emperor's kindness.  Prince Ning has always created his own image as a virtuous king. From his earliest wish to write down his filial piety and understanding of etiquette into the records of the Xiao Temple, to when the imperial court introduced the vassal regulations, he actively reported other sects' illegal acts and obtained instructions for sects' offenders.  Qualifications.  Just a few months ago, many people in the court were praising Ning Fan's young master, the wise king and the holy son.  And in this excerpt, every accusation is made that Prince Ning committed a heinous crime, much worse than the Linzhang Prince's Mansion, which had his property confiscated and his titles reduced.  ??The mouthpieces in the court who spoke for Ning Fan were all mute. For such an impeachment, King Ning could only defend himself in court, or the young master could defend himself on his father's behalf.  Not to mention how much a twelve-year-old kid can know about the palace, but the fact that the young master is now open to the outside world under the pretext of "being seriously ill and unable to leave the capital".  Once you appear in the main hall and show a little bit of flaws, it is the crime of deceiving the emperor.  And when the news reaches Jiangxi, it will take more than a month for Prince Ning¡¯s self-defense statement to be sent to Beijing immediately.  The situation of the young master of Ning Mansion immediately became embarrassing.  Everyone's heart is bright. Eight percent of them came to the little boy, not the king, what saints mentioned?  In the Xianyifang house, Mr. Li was so angry that he rushed to deliver the letter to Jiangxi while urging Mr. Miao to quickly find someone to fight this war of words.  However, no one dared to pick up this hot potato.  There are some things that sects will do by default, such as occupying people's fields and squeezing merchants. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? What kind of local powerful people have not done this?  Even ordinary wealthy people are not immune to this kind of thing.  Who dares to say that Prince Ning is really a saint and that no one in the palace has ever done anything illegal?  It doesn't matter if you think things are hot, the money is not hot, Ning Fan has repeatedly raised the money for "finishing the pen", only hoping that "there will be a brave man under the heavy reward".  ??This makes people feel itchy, and some people are ready to take action.  After all, the imperial censor¡¯s report will not be as conclusive as the Shen Chao family report. It has the meaning of "reporting on hearsay", and there is still room for tearing apart.  But soon, they no longer had to make a choice.  Shi Lanzhang, the right deputy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, said: "In the past, I went to the princes to ask for salt for only two to three hundred dollars. Now the officials are asking for more than tens of thousands. They also have weaving and other items. Although the name is twenty thousand, it is really a lot. There is also tribute.  The ship bought private salt from the Luyun Department in Changchang, and acted without restraint, begging for rewards. "The Ningfu was indispensable in the memorials listed, and among them was the Ningfu guard commander Wang Qizong, who bought private salt from Chang.  reed.  The names and surnames have all been pointed out, so of course there is evidence.  And Lan Zhang has been in charge of Fuzhou Mansion in Jiangxi Province for many years, so he probably still has a lot of "evidence" of Prince Ning's Mansion.  Soon, the emperor issued an edict and an official notice to the people of Jiangxi. Anyone whose property or house had been occupied by the royal palace was allowed to file a lawsuit. He also ordered the three governors of the province to pay an audience and order King Ning to "reform."  At the same time, Lan Zhang was promoted to the left minister of the Nanjing Criminal Ministry and the left deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he was ordered to clean up the Lu Salt Law of the two Huaihe Rivers.  ¡°Subsequently, during the routine transfer of officials from the Chief Envoys¡¯ Department and the Inspection and Envoys¡¯ Department of each province, there was almost a major change of leadership in Jiangxi¡¯s top management.  Huang Zan, the right chief envoy of the Jiangxi Chief Secretary, was transferred to Huguang, Wang Huolin, the left political envoy, was transferred to Guangdong, Wang Zhi, the Jiangxi inspector general, was transferred to Yunnan, and Hu Shirong, the deputy inspector general of Jiangxi Province, was transferred to Fujian.  Only Zhang Yi, who participated in politics on the right, was promoted to envoy to the right and stayed in Jiangxi.  In addition, Jiang was promoted to Sichuan's left-hand political officer, and was promoted to the right-hand deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the governor of Tingzhang in southern Gansu.  The emperor¡¯s meaning is very clear.  No one dared to accept gifts from Ning Fan anymore, and those who had received gifts were also panicked.  It is true that in the past two years, the emperor has dealt with the vassals too much.  The vassals in Shandong have all been lying down quietly, the thorns in Shaanxi, Shanxi and Henan have all been wiped out, and there are still vassalsIn this case, it is hard not to think of the series of measures to reduce vassal status in Xuan Temple during the Xuande period.  No one can say whether this is to express dissatisfaction with the young master of Ning Fan for wanting to be the chief minister of the Imperial Ancestral Temple, or whether he really wants to clean up the Jiangxi clan in the next step.  Then there began to be heard in the court, saying that the young master of Ning Mansion came to Beijing in the name of sending money. Now that the money has been put into the treasury, the Hongde Hall has also begun to be repaired. There is nothing wrong with him anymore, and it is time to return.  It's time to seal the land.  Ning Fan¡¯s personnel in Beijing stopped all overt or covert visits to officials and dignitaries after the emperor issued an order for Prince Ning to mend his ways, and instead went to major medical clinics and even temples and nunneries to look for famous doctors for the young master.  The young master¡¯s illness is naturally ¡°getting worse¡± and he is unable to leave Beijing.  Ning Fan even paid a lot of money to invite the eldest princess of Yongkang to enter the palace to plead for him, and asked the emperor to send Tian Liangzi to treat him and make elixirs.  The emperor agreed, but when the servant who delivered the oral instructions arrived at Tianliang Temple, he was told that the real Tianliangzi had taken a boy to travel around to collect medicine. He had been gone for more than a month.  Where he went or when he would come back, he had no idea.  It all depends on the old god¡¯s will.  The emperor had no choice but to ask all the post stations to pay more attention to this real person, and if he met him, he would be asked to return to Beijing immediately.  Here we will arrange for a dozen royal doctors to treat the young master.  With all this commotion, it was mid-March.  The three-year talent promotion ceremony attracted everyone¡¯s attention.  Your Majesty, "Looking at it from now on, it is like a painting of dividing the country into states, setting up officials and different duties, clarifying rituals and music, building schools, regulating calendars, ranking sacrifices, equalizing land tax, clearing spring goods, public elections, strict examinations, establishing a military system, and prudence."  "Criminal law means that when an emperor governs the world, it is certainly not without law." It is also quite thought-provoking that it was written into the palace examination questions.  Although the little emperor is very hopeful, for the new scholars, more people still hope to stay in Beijing.  Especially during the Beijing inspection period, Liu Jin's party was once again purged in the capital, and those who had some slight connections were not spared, so many middle and low-level positions were vacated.  "Not to mention that the new scholars are enthusiastic, the high-level bosses are also enthusiastic, taking the opportunity to win over the newcomers and install their own people.  In this regard, the little emperor could only complain to Zhang Hui: "It would be nice if there were two more Shen Rui's." Zhang Huize smiled and said: "After all, the Hanlin is noble, and it is normal for scholars to look forward to entering the Hanlin. But Shen Rui  At the local level, seeing someone recommended from the county magistrate and prefecture to serve the emperor in a down-to-earth manner, wouldn¡¯t it be more useful than someone who doesn¡¯t know how to farm and only reads books from sages?¡± Brother Shou said ¡°I don¡¯t know how to farm¡±.  After chewing it twice, he sighed and said: "In the future, we have to change the fundamentals bit by bit. We can't make all scholars develop a censor's temper, leaving only one mouth in their body." Zhang Hui shrank his neck,  The emperor could say this, but he didn't dare to accept it. Ever since he took over the royal guards, he had been bitten by the censors. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off?  Fortunately, they all visited Prince Ning recently, and the emperor felt somewhat at peace.  As for the young master Ning Fan, Zhang Hui only sneered in his heart The new wave of noise brought by the new Jinshi has not dissipated until April.  And in April, the palace suddenly received the shocking news that Concubine Shen Xian was pregnant!  * It has been more than eight years since he ascended the throne and seven years since his marriage. However, there has been no movement in the harem. The harem of the previous dynasty often worried about the emperor's heir.  The late emperor had few heirs, not only because of the late emperor's physical weakness, but also because of the late emperor's special preference, and there was only one empress dowager in the harem.  Nowadays, she is skilled in bow and horse, keen on martial arts, and can be said to be in great shape. There are many famous concubines in the harem. I heard that there are many beauties in Xiyuan, but there has never been an heir to the emperor, and there has never even been a concubine.  The news of pregnancy has spread, which can't help but make people think a lot.  Especially in the past few months, he has adopted hundreds of adopted sons like crazy, and there are rumors of "falling asleep on Qian Ning's thigh", etc. It's hard not to make people think wrongly.  Now that the concubine is finally pregnant, although the gender is not yet known, the loyal ministers are half relieved.  Especially after the turmoil in the Imperial Ancestral Temple, this imperial heir became even more important.  The emperor was obviously very happy, and various rewards poured into Chang'an Palace and towards Concubine Shen Xian's natal family.  Originally, Concubine Shen Xian¡¯s natal family was the last among the relatives. When the emperor offered any rewards, she could usually only think of the Xia family, the queen¡¯s natal family. Even if Concubine Wu Def was not so favored in the palace, the Wu family was in-laws of the Zhang family of the Queen Mother¡¯s natal family.  My maternal relatives, the Shen family, really can¡¯t rely on anything.  Nowadays, the Shen family of the foreign relatives is full of people, and countless people come to add "firewood" (money) to heat the stove.  And the Shen family also put on a show of grandeur for the emperor's eldest son's mother-in-law, and they were so illustrious that they overshadowed the whole family.Passed Xia's house.  "Although Concubine Shen Xian asked someone to spread the word, she still doesn't know whether she is a princess or a prince, but she is a prince. Is it easy to be the eldest son of a concubine?  The eldest son of a concubine must also call the queen his mother!  Don't float up now, or you will fall even harder when you turn around!  !  It's just that the virtuous concubine is certainly virtuous, but there are such prominent cases as the Zhou family and Zhang family in the past - especially the Zhou family. The Empress Dowager Zhou was just a concubine at the beginning. When her son became the emperor, the Zhou family became rich and powerful.  Three dynasties!  "The Shen family is being held in such high regard now, with huge interests in front of them. How many people can calm down and not be tempted?"  Such a high profile certainly aroused dissatisfaction among many people. However, one of the censors tried to make excuses twice, but both failed to succeed, so everyone knew better.  ¡°After all, he is the heir that the emperor has been waiting for for many years. The Shen family has just started to look up, and there is no time to do anything evil. The impeachment can¡¯t come up with any new tricks, so the censors gradually give up.  "More people are ready to beat up the drowned dog¡ª¡ªto drive the young master of Ning Fan out of the capital."  Now that the emperor has an heir, it doesn¡¯t matter whether he is a boy or a girl. As long as he can have children, the first one will have the second and the third one The emperor is only twenty-five years old. He is still young and has a lot of time to spend on having children.  .  "Even if there is still no prince in another three to five years, it will be better to look for a younger child. At that time, the young master Ning Fan will be over fifteen, and there is no need for him at all.  By asking this person to return to the vassal territory, Shang Zhezi also showed his loyalty to the emperor and his maintenance of orthodoxy.  Facing the swarming censors and ministers, Young Master Ningfan chose to pretend to be deaf and mute, and "concentrated on recuperating" during the day, and from time to time there was news that he was critically ill.  "Anyway, if you just stay in Beijing and don't leave, there's nothing anyone can do about it."  * * When the news that Concubine Xian was pregnant reached Henan, Shen Rui naturally looked overjoyed in front of others, but his heart was extremely heavy.  Last August, Brother Shou personally said that the queen was pregnant.  ?According to the time, it is already due to be produced.  At this time, Concubine Shen Xian was pushed out. Was it because the queen had given birth to a prince and was hidden as a precaution - Xiaomiao had been hidden for six years when she was young, or was something wrong with the queen's child?  The matter involves the inner palace, even if Zhang Hui knew about it, he could not say anything.  But no matter what the possibility is, the situation in Beijing is definitely not too good.  Otherwise, there is no need to promote Concubine Xian to attract attention.  The emperor¡¯s move after move seems like He wants to force Ning Fan to rebel!  There is no rebellion at all, how difficult is it to eliminate it to the end?  !  Shen Rui frowned, but was the court really ready for a battle?  The neighbors to the north are still watching with eager eyes because of the drought!  Although King Ning in his previous life was vulnerable to a single blow, his current teacher Wang Shouren is also the Minister of War in Nanjing. He has a large number of troops and a navy with great combat experience. It should not be difficult to defeat King Ning.  But what if the Tatars take advantage of the situation?  In the past two years, famines have continued in various places, and the national treasury has never saved much. If the two sides start a war, it will be too much.  The losses in the north will also directly affect the sensitive nerves of the Ming courtiers after the Tumubao Incident. What will happen then?  "The good situation that has been created with great effort in northern Xinjiang will be ruined in one day. What is even more frightening is that once this inherent impression is planted, it may affect the Ming Dynasty's policy towards Mongolia for ten or more decades.  Ning Fan¡¯s pustule, just pick it open. It¡¯s better to do it early, but the north must be protected no matter what.  Shen Rui gritted his teeth and thought.  Then he locked himself in the study alone and began to write a confidential letter to his teacher Wang Shouren, to Zhang Hui, to Cong Lan, Shen Xuan, to Cai Song, Dai Dabin, Li Yanqing, to Jiang He, Gao Wenhu "  You must hand the letter to Cong and Shen personally," Shen Rui warned repeatedly when handing the letter to Tian Feng.  Tian Feng had been in Shanshan and Shaanxi for several years, and he was the most familiar with the people, so he was sent to the border to deliver messages.  Also sent at the same time was a batch of veterinary drugs that Lantian and his people had rushed to produce in the past two months.  Lantian actually discussed it with his teachers Li Dongyang and Pang Tianqing in Beijing. On the way to Henan, he had found many simple prescriptions for medication in the agricultural books of the past dynasties and the Ox and Horse Classics, and also had a preliminary pharmaceutical plan.  After obtaining Shen Rui's full support and cooperation here, Lantian, with experienced veterinarians drawn from Zhangde and Huaiqing Prefecture, selected a group of smart and diligent apprentices among the victims, and quickly established a  The workshop was started and put into production.  Shen Rui's requirements for their products are the same as those of Tianliangzi's medicine - it doesn't matter whether the disease can be cured or not, but it must not be used to kill humans or horses.  The purpose of this batch of medicine is not to show off how effective it is, butLet me remind the grassland that some things cannot be obtained by robbing. They can only be traded in the horse market.  "It's not for making money. It can be exchanged for cowhide, wool or anything else. As long as they know that the horse market only has these." Shen Rui said to Tian Feng.  Tian Feng agreed repeatedly, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Second Master, I want to take Chen Li with me. If he needs to be used, I can let him stay there. If there are people like them here in the future, I can let him go."  Go over there." "This Chen Li is the leader of a horse in Henan Prefecture. He has thirty or forty people under his command. They are all very good at horseback riding and very brave.  Because he had a personal vendetta against the mining robber Li Cai, Wan Dongjiang persuaded him to recruit him, and helped Zhou Xian to eliminate Li Cai. He also brought in Li Gensheng, a local wealthy man who sold the stolen goods for Li Cai.  Although Chen Li and his gang had no lives on their hands, they had committed many robberies and it was not easy for them to obtain decent official status. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? isn't not the case, and for a man like Li Gensheng, who has many bandits, horses, and mine thieves tied to his line. For a time, Chen Li became a "traitor" who "everyone can punish" on the road, and it was difficult to survive in Henan Prefecture.  Tian Feng wanted to take this group of people to the border as a branch of Shunfeng Biaohang, specifically to pick up the escorts of the caravans going to and from the horse market.  With such an identity, you can gradually understand the situation in the grassland, and even cooperate with people from the Seiyi Pavilion. There will always be someone with an official background in the future.  Shen Rui waved his hand and said: "They are different from Wan Dongjiang. They are both masters whose swords are faster than their brains. These are critical moments, so don't be impulsive and make things happen." He thought about it for a moment, and then said: "They in Henan can't stay still.  You can take him to Shanshan first and let him get acquainted with him at Shunfeng Biao. As for the Siyi Pavilion, ask us to lend him some help. If you don¡¯t mention it, don¡¯t get involved easily.¡±  Shen Rui read the book and asked the Henan Province sub-inspector to be stationed in Ruzhou to prevent mining theft, and then set off for Zhangde Mansion.  It is almost May and there is still not much rain. It is obvious that there will be another drought this year.  This weather is really sad.  Although Changde Prefecture has vigorously promoted new seeds and new planting methods, and opened water canals, it is difficult to be affected by the weather.  The preparations for the Shanshan Temple Fair are almost complete, but under such circumstances, we still have to urge them to start it quickly.  However, as soon as he arrived at Zhangde Mansion, another shocking news came.  On April 29, the Empress Dowager Wang passed away.  Along with the news, there was also an imperial edict from the emperor urgently summoning Shen Rui to return to Beijing to report on his duties.  * The Empress Dowager Wang is the second queen of Xianmiao.  The first queen, Wu, was deposed by Xianmiao just one month after she was canonized. After that, Xianmiao always wanted to make Concubine Wan Guifei the queen, but Empress Dowager Zhou did not agree, so she had to make Wang the queen.  In the years that followed, Xianmiao actually wanted to abolish the Wang family more than once. However, the Wang family was cautious and low-key and had no faults. No matter how arrogant and domineering Concubine Wan Gui was, she always dealt with it calmly. There was really no reason to abolish her.  By the time of the Hongzhi Dynasty, Wang became the Queen Mother, but she remained as quiet as before. She still acted as her invisible person in the harem, and never got involved in the disputes between the Empress Dowager Zhou and Empress Zhang.  Until the Zhengde Dynasty, this old lady stood firmly behind Brother Shou from the beginning, supporting his policies, cooperating with his actions, and solving many palace affairs for him. The latest time she came forward to serve as Chong Chong  Prince Chengjue spoke and cooperated with Brother Shou's plan.  Brother Shou was also very close to his grandmother. He visited her in the imperial palace many times. In the fifth year of Zhengde's reign, he even gave her the title of "Mercy Saint Kangshou".  "This old lady has always been weak in health, but she has not been bedridden from time to time like the Empress Dowager Zhou did when she was old.  There was no news of her illness this winter, and she was also congratulated by her concubines together with the Queen Mother and the Empress.  His sudden death at this time was beyond everyone¡¯s expectations.  When the Empress Dowager passed away, the Emperor was still in Xiyuan. When he heard the bad news, he almost ran back to the palace all the way like crazy, crying until he fainted in Renshou Palace.  When he appeared in front of others again, his face was haggard and sickly, showing grief.  Queen Xia was so grieved that she immediately fell ill. Several strong palace servants forced her to go to the mourning hall. Her face was so pale that there was almost no blood.  The Queen Mother sympathized with Queen Xia and the pregnant Concubine Shen Xian, and ordered them to have a good life and recuperate, leaving Concubine Wu to complete other etiquette on their behalf.  The whole dynasty called the emperor and queen the most filial piety. ?????????? But at some point, a rumor started to spread among the people, saying that the Empress Dowager, who had always been in good health, died suddenly, and that it must have been a conspiracy.  The death of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager was really sudden, so some people really believed this, and there was a lot of discussion on the street.  Soon someone said, too?The Queen Mother has always been kind to others, and her relatives, the Wang family, are even more peaceful and have never made enemies with anyone. Although the Queen Mother has a noble status, she has little authority. How could anyone assassinate her?  Some people secretly said that maybe the little prince in Empress Shen¡¯s belly had killed her great-grandmother Others said with certainty that the Empress Dowager actually died after taking an elixir. This elixir was the heavenly elixir.  The master of Liang Guan Temple was entered by Tian Liangzi.  This Taoist also knew that the medicine was inappropriate and was afraid of being held accountable, so he used wandering as an excuse to escape!  However, the emperor should not have befriended the monk Yao Dao. When he discovered that something was wrong, he allowed the Yao Dao to escape in order to cover up his family's mistakes, and refused to issue a wanted order to arrest him and avenge his grandmother. This was a great act of unfilial piety No matter how deep it is,  Let¡¯s dig a little deeper. Who recommended this man to the emperor?  I heard it's that Shen Rui, the copycat!  It seems that he is somewhat related to Shen Rui.  " He also said that the emperor has been taking the demonic elixir all year round, and I am afraid that he can no longer live without it.  Shen Rui has such an elixir in his hands. It's strange that he can rise to prominence. It's strange that the emperor allows him to drag down a favorite like Liu Jin!  Such remarks naturally attracted the attention of the court immediately.  Jinyiwei arrested several waves of people and locked up several teahouses and restaurants where people gathered to discuss Tianjia. However, they failed to catch the "main culprit". After interrogation, he was probably a scoundrel who always used money to do things. He didn't even know who gave him the money.  do not know.  It has not been able to effectively curb the spread of rumors. No one will say anything publicly, but there are a lot of discussions behind the scenes. The Jin Yiwei is not really powerful enough to monitor the conversations of every citizen in the capital.  Especially when many officials, merchants and wealthy families have built secret rooms in their homes.  At this moment, in the secret room of the study outside Shouning Hou Mansion, someone was speaking words that would make his head fall off without any scruples.  * "Now that the Empress Dowager has died, the Empress Dowager is the most noble in the palace. But how much of the mother-child bond between the Empress Dowager and the Emperor is left? Haha, I am afraid this Lord knows it better than anyone else." The man said with a smile.  Zhang Heling had a dark face and said viciously: "What on earth do you want to say?" "The Shen family has been too public recently, and the Marquis can see through it? What does the Shen family have? It's not just the piece of meat in the belly of Concubine Xian." That person  Staring at Zhang Heling, he said, "In this palace, the Queen has also been pregnant. Now the Concubine Xian is also pregnant. Only Concubine De has remained silent. Your Majesty, this is to protect the Zhang family." Zhang Heling's heart skipped a beat, no.  Next to it, the news about the queen's pregnancy and pregnancy had been blocked for a long time, and no one outside the palace knew about it.  The Queen Mother knew about it from clues after the child was gone and did not make it public.  How did this person know?  !  Just thinking about it can't help but send a chill down my back.  "The Zhang family is prominent now because their nephew is the emperor. But in the future, if the son of a virtuous concubine succeeds to the throne The queen mother will be as wealthy as the Zhang family for a day, but if the queen mother is a hundred years  Think about how prosperous the Zhou family was in the Chenghua Dynasty. Even in Xiaomiao, they were on par with the Zhang family. What if we look at it now?" The man smiled and said, "The Zhang family should have thought of this a long time ago. Shouldn't it be wrong?  What is the purpose of sending Concubine De into the palace? Isn¡¯t it just for the sake of wealth for future generations! But the emperor is not close to Concubine De" Zhang Heling became a little impatient and interrupted him: "What are you talking about? Let¡¯s just say it.  "Okay." "When the Empress Dowager Zhou was here, she also kept a few younger brothers in the palace just in case." The man came closer and said.  This matter was also a thorn in the side of the Zhang family back then.  ??Especially after the death of King Wei Miao by Queen Zhang, such words came out, how could the Zhang family bear it.  The relationship between the Zhang family and the Zhou family became deeper and deeper.  Now, this person is going to use these words to lobby the Zhang family.  Zhang Heling said angrily: "Where did the little emperor's younger brother come from now?" The man smiled and said: "My young master, isn't he already ready?" Zhang Heling narrowed his eyes, "You are joking, there is such a difference in seniority!  "The man laughed and said: "They are all from the same family, seniority or anything, it is not a marriage, what does it matter? The child is young, and you have seen me. The most honest and filial one, I recognize him in the name of the Queen Mother.  It is up to the Empress Dowager and the Marquis to make the decision. "There are some who are of suitable seniority. Prince Zhao and Prince Zhou are both suitable. Hey, I just don't know."  Are you willing to listen to the Marquis? After all, those two people were brought up by the Shen family. " "If the Marquis is in trouble, you can discuss it with the Queen Mother. How can the young master stay until the end of the Daxing period?  Gong Fa introduced the mausoleum and gave her a ride before returning to Jiangxi. There is still time to think about. "Zhang Heling had an expression on his face that said, "Are you fooling a fool?" He didn't even bother to say a word.  The man said: "This matter is beneficial to both the Queen Mother and the Zhang family. My young master is the most obedient. He has no relatives in the capital. If he does not rely on the Queen Mother and the Zhang family, who can he rely on? With him being so filial.  If you are sensible, why shouldn't others be more filial and sensible? "Wouldn't it make the Queen Mother feel comfortable?" "If Concubine De has a biological child in the future, she will be the best choice for the prince. The rules are there, and the young master will be the best choice."  "You must be thinking what good will this do to us?"  Lord Marquis, my young master is just a concubine, and he has three much older brothers above him. The prince just likes him, how much do you think the palace can give him?  It¡¯s not his turn to choose a good place.  "If he is lucky enough to be raised by the Queen Mother for several months, no matter how much the prince gives him, no one else can say anything. If the Queen Mother can reward him with a good fief for the sake of his dedication and filial piety, then he will not be the only one.  If you benefit, your descendants will benefit! Isn¡¯t this a great benefit?¡± Zhang Heling never said a word, but there was no obvious look of disgust on his face.  Seeing that he was silent, the man said again: "I can guess a little bit about the thoughts of the Marquis. When the Marquis chose Xiao Shen Zhuangyuan as his son-in-law, wasn't it because there was someone in the court?  There is no wiser way to lead the harem, but a loyal man like Xiao Shen Zhuangyuan cannot defeat his cunning and cunning brother.¡±  , I guess the Marquis also arranged a position for Xiao Shen Zhuangyuan, right? Liu Jin used to have the most people in the General Affairs Department, but now most of it is empty. Xiao Shen Zhuangyuan went to be the general manager, a proper fourth rank, and then moved up.  Might as well not be able to join the cabinet" "Zhang Heling does have such a plan, he has already spent a lot of money on activities and is inseparable.  But the man changed the topic, "Little Shen Zhuangyuan has already delayed his future because of Ding You. If it happens again this time" Zhang Heling was stunned, and suddenly remembered that the eunuch from Qiu Ju had said the same thing to threaten him many years ago.  He couldn't help but blurted out: "Why is it like this again?" The man was stunned for a moment, and then he realized it and couldn't help laughing, and said: "It doesn't matter whether the trick is old or new, it just works." Then he said: "Zhang Hao is also good, but  After all, he is the son-in-law of Marquis Jianchang. The Marquis also knows that the Marquis of Jianchang may not be able to control him. " Zhang Heling frowned when he heard the word Zhang Hao.  He did not agree with this marriage.  He didn¡¯t care that Zhang Yuanzhen was once his daughter¡¯s great matchmaker.  Back then, Zhang Yuanzhen helped him secure a match. It¡¯s not like he didn¡¯t help Zhang Yuanzhen. It was because he failed to live up to his expectations and didn¡¯t become the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Who is to blame.  He has also wasted the favor, so it's time for both parties to settle down.  "One thing I don't agree with is that Zhang Hao caused a stir in the city because of his relationship with Shen Li's daughter Heli. This reputation is really bad.  Moreover, it was Sister Ting who made the first move back then, and the feud was strong. It didn¡¯t matter that Concubine De was raised by her own family. On the Yang family¡¯s side, Li Dongyang and Wang Hua in the cabinet are now old, and Yang Tinghe saw that it was  Those who can move to the position of chief minister, and the girl's current husband is Shen Rui, who is a popular person around the emperor, so there is no need to offend them.  Sister Ting is getting older. If she really wants to get married, she can just send her away quietly and not call her back.  Now that Dala La has come back to arrange the wedding, and she has found such a hot commodity, are you afraid that people will not be able to remember the past?  ¡ª¡ªIt¡¯s easy to involve his daughter, Sister Xian, in this.  It happened that Zhang Yanling¡¯s wife brought this matter to Mrs. Jin¡¯s door.  Mrs. Tai always loved Sister Ting the most. When the old lady lost her temper, she insisted on bringing Sister Ting back to get married.  Zhang Yanling was the one who added to the trouble, and said: "Why, the eldest brother is allowed to have a son-in-law who is the number one scholar, but I am not allowed to have a son-in-law who is the number one scholar?" Although Zhang Heling said at the time that there were many new scholars, he also knew in his heart that Ting  It's really not easy for my sister to find someone as decent as Tanhua Lang in her current situation.  When Mrs. Jin made a fuss, the Queen Mother also said that she was a top talent after all, so Zhang Heling could only pinch his nose and admit it.  When Sister Xian and his wife found out about the marriage, Sister Xian said with disgust: "Second uncle is confused. This man used to be my niece's son-in-law, but now he has become my brother-in-law. What's going on!" Shen Jin  His face was even colder.  He knew the truth about Shen Li's resignation. Before Shen Li left, he repeatedly warned him and Shen Ying to be careful.  He hated Zhang Hao deeply.  I didn¡¯t expect that the Zhang family could do such disgusting things.  ??????????????????????????????????????????HeI know how he felt when he got married to the Zhang family Zhang Heling didn't know what his son-in-law was thinking at this time, but looking at his expression, he also knew that it would be impossible for his son-in-law and the second son-in-law to support each other in the court in the future.  For the sake of arms, I'm afraid it would be nice not to criticize each other.  I heard the man mutter in my ears: "Although Zhang Hao's rank is still low now, even if the General Secretary is a counselor, he is still out of reach for a while. But if Xiao Shen, the champion, Ding You has been worried for three years, or if Ding has been worried for six years" He  He said meaningfully: "Look, Lord Marquis, things in this world are fickle and unpredictable. How can a road be guaranteed? You still need to have an imperial heir who is close to the Zhang family, and a promising son-in-law to walk on two legs."  , This is safe. Don¡¯t you think so, Master Hou?" Zhang Heling stared at the person in front of him and remained silent for a long time.  * * Shanxi Datong, Shen Shen's government. In the secret room of the outer study room, the same old trick was used. Someone was using it on Shen Xun, who was involved in politics.  A young man in his early twenties, with thick eyebrows, big eyes and a round face, looks very blessed, especially when he smiles, his face is full of joy, which makes people feel happy just by looking at him.  Facing him, Shen Xuan's hands began to shake slightly unconsciously.  "If he hadn't mentioned this person, he would have completely forgotten it. When he mentioned it and looked at it again, he could vaguely find some of what he looked like as a little boy back then.  Not to mention a little book boy, even his biological son and eldest son Shen Dong, he has almost forgotten what he looks like.  " Washing ink and inkstones are a pair of book boys that I bought for Shen Dong in Beijing. They also followed Shen Dong back to Songjiang.  During the "Japanese disaster", after Shen Dong disappeared, Ximo sued Shen Jun for "colluding with Japanese pirates and kidnapping his nephew", and later died in prison.  However, the whereabouts of Xi Yan are unknown. It is not known whether the person who ordered Xi Yan silenced him or whether he ran away out of fear of crime.  It was such a chaotic time that no one cared about the whereabouts of a little book boy.  Now the little book boy is back, bringing the news that Shen Xuan least wants to hear.  "The eldest young master has always missed me and his wife. Even now, even when carrying someone on his back, there are times when he sheds tears. The eldest young master's life is really hard, but the eldest young master never complains "The younger one is now  After seeing the second young master's appearance, I couldn't help but think that if the eldest young master could always be by his side, he would be like the second young master now.  The eldest young master is so smart that he must become an official!  " Xi Yan's round eyes were red and sparkling with tears. He looked like a loyal servant who had been wronged by his master. He stabbed Shen Xuan's heart with each sentence. Shen Xuan took a few deep breaths before calming down his emotions. He said coldly  Asked Xiyan, "Now that you are back, where are Brother Dong and the others?"  Or, did anyone ask you to bring me a message?  " The moment he washed the inkstone, his tears turned into a smile, and his tone was full of joy: "The eldest young master has returned to Songjiang. The old master is not with the old master. The eldest young master has to fulfill his filial piety for the old master and take on the responsibility of the eldest son for the old master.  Our clan is the direct descendant of the Shen family. Only by having the eldest young master as the patriarch can we make the Shen family better.  " But Shen Xuan felt chills running down his spine. Hearing Xi Yan say again: "The young master is the most filial, so let me come and report to the master.  I also gave the master a huge contribution.  " He came closer, his smiling face was particularly bright, "The Tatars are short of food and want to rob it, so let them rob it. If the food is lost, you can plant it again. You can't beat the left and right, and you can't resist.  It would be terrible if the city was massacred instead.  The young master is merciful and cares about the lives of the people at the border, so he can just stay away when the time comes.  " Shen Cheng was so shocked that he almost couldn't sit still. "Nonsense!  " He couldn't help shouting loudly. Xi Yan rolled his big eyes and smiled again, "Master, don't be afraid, they can come as far as they can, grab some food and then retreat, then you can lead others to kill them.  Go back, take back the city easily and perform meritorious service. Your official position will also be promoted.  " "Now it is no longer the former dynasty. They can still seize the country!  Moreover, Jiangshan and our prince are here.  This will be a great achievement for you in the future.  " No matter how stupid Shen Xuan is, he understands that Ning Fan is going to rebel. Use the north to attract the attention of the court. If Ning Fan starts trouble in the south and the court ignores each other, this is Ning Fan's opportunity. "Rebellious officials and traitors.  !  Shen Xuan shouted righteously, "Have you forgotten how you were captured back then?"  Now he is actually working for the tiger!  You should quickly go to the Yamen to report the traitor's behavior to the court, and you will be able to make meritorious deeds.  Otherwise, the common people of Anhua will learn from the past!  " Mentioning being taken away, Xi Yan's eyes were full of resentment, but he still smiled and said: "As expected, I called the young master, but the master is still so cautious. It's strange that the sixth master of Li and the second master of Rui can achieve the second grade.  member, oldI still can't move up to the third level here.  " Shen Xun's face flashed with shame and anger, and he said sternly: "Asshole, what are you talking about?  " Xiyan suddenly stopped smiling and said coldly: "Master, the young master said, don't use the words that the civil servants don't care about the generals' deployment. You always have a way.  If you don't agree, that's fine, then he will wait for the old man to go west and let you return to your hometown Dingyou.  The position here is naturally occupied by someone who can handle this matter.  As for whether you will still be at the third level after Ding You three years, that depends on your luck.  "bastard" Shen Xuan squeezed out these two words through his teeth. "Master, don't even think about killing your relatives out of justice and claiming credit for your own son's head."  Even if we say that we are exterminating relatives for the sake of justice, some people have to believe it. Don¡¯t you think so, sir?  The young master has taught young children how to read and write, so what do you think of that cook's Yi Ya?  "It is not the love of a man that he does not love his son, but his son's forbearance, how can he love the king?" Hey, when the time comes, you may not be able to get this skill, and you can't tell who will get the advantage.  " He Shi Shiran leaned back on the chair, "Besides, you still need Ding, You, San, Nian" He spoke out word for word, and the word "Ding You" was especially emphasized. Shen Xuan has always been the most stubborn.  He has been working hard all these years just for an official position! Now Shen Xun stared at Xi Yan fiercely, his face uncertain under the candlelight.
