    They say that on a June day, a child¡¯s face can change at any time.  But it's not even June yet, and it's already a day like this. One moment it's clear skies, and the next moment it's pouring rain.  In the Yongsu Hall, a small hall on the west side of the Qianqing Palace, the room was silent, only the sound of rain could be heard.  The ice basin gradually melted, and the water droplets fell silently, just like the beads of sweat dripping from the foreheads of the senior ministers kneeling together.  After a long while, Brother Shou's voice, which was colder than ice, echoed in the palace: "I am not discussing with you, but telling you that I will personally conquer the northern captives." I have shouted "Your Majesty, think twice" several times, until my throat is broken.  Some of the hoarse ministers kowtowed again.  Chief Assistant Li Dongyang raised his head, and as soon as he said "Your Majesty", he was blocked by Brother Shou.  "I already know what the old gentleman wants to say. These days, I have memorized those few sentences over and over again. There is nothing new, so there is no need to say it." Li Dongyang sighed: "Although the emperor doesn't like to hear it,  "However, it is the duty of an old minister to give advice, and he still has to say" "I don't need you to say this, I want you to do it, the Siyi Museum, the Ministry of Husbandry, the Ministry of War and Shanxi Martial Arts, and the Ministry of Industry,  "Everything that needs to be prepared should be prepared!" "Your Majesty, I am still saying what I said. After all, there is no abnormality reported at the border. We are starting to make preparations now. I am afraid that it will cause instability at the border." Li Dongyang looked at Wang Hua as he spoke.  A few words of advice from Hua.  Over there, it was Zhang Yong who opened his mouth first.  He walked a few steps on his knees and said with a sob: "Long live the Lord's body of ten thousand gold, please plan your strategy and let me use my strength to go to the border" Zhang Yong has now received a title and was given a palace by the emperor.  When walking, he pays special attention to his appearance, and even deliberately holds his head high, in an attempt to wash away the mark of an "internal official" on his body and strive to be an ordinary courtier.  However, at this time, under the eyes of the important officials of the imperial court who he always cared about most, he put aside his dignity and put himself back into the dust one by one, one slave at a time, just to persuade this young master.  Brother Shou ignored his painstaking efforts at all, and raised his voice with a worried look on his face, "Big companion! You know my arrangements for you!" Zhang Yong knocked his head heavily on the ground, "Long live the Lord once asked me to train my troops well.  Lord Long Live once said that in the future, I would like to use my slave at Jiubian! I have been remembering this sentence and dare not relax for a moment. Now, I beg Lord Long Live to help you, let me go to the border gate!  , he was already bursting into tears, "Only the Lord Long Live regards this slave as a human being, only the Lord Long Live said that the slave is a man! This slave is just doing his best to repay His grace, how can he watch the Lord live in danger? Let this slave be in danger."  I will go on this trip for Lord Long Live first. I will definitely live up to Lord Long Live's expectations and be worthy of the words of "Brave and Good at Fighting" that Long Live Lord rewards me with!" Brother Shou couldn't help but feel moved when he heard this. He took two steps to support Zhang Yong and gently held him in his arms.  He called "big companion".  Zhang Yong touched his head to the ground and said loudly: "Long live the Lord, please help me!" Several elders saw that the emperor had also invited Zhang Yong today, and they were afraid that Zhang Yong would become Wang Zhen's second best and instigate the little emperor.  Go outside the pass.  Seeing Zhang Yong like this at this time, they exchanged glances with each other, feeling relieved but also feeling sad.  Wang Hua has a good relationship with Zhang Yong because of his son Wang Shouren. He is also the only one among the elders who has not directly resisted Zhang Yong's ennomination. At this time, he can only step forward.  With a slight cough, Wang Hua persuaded Brother Shou: "Your Majesty, Uncle Tai'an (Zhang Yong) is loyal and sincere. Moreover, he has been at the border for many years. He is well aware of the situation at the border and has repeatedly performed extraordinary feats. It is just right for the Emperor to send him back again."  It is safest to go on an expedition. "At the end of last year, because Miao Kui was old, the cabinet bosses planned to replace Miao Kui with Zhang Yong. They also sent Zhang Yong, the holy family member, far away in a grand manner to avoid another Liu Jin.  It¡¯s just that the little emperor has always refused to respond.  At this moment, when Wang Hua said this, all the ministers nodded in agreement.  Brother Shou's face looked a little ugly, and he said coolly: "It's the same with Uncle Tai'an accompanying him on the expedition, and it's the same as being a pioneer officer." All the elders choked and couldn't help but have a headache.  During the stalemate, Liu Zhong came into the palace quietly from outside. After getting a signal from Brother Shou, Fang reported in a low voice that Shen Rui had arrived.  Brother Shou nodded slightly, and Shen Rui and Zhang Hui were ushered in and greeted them together.  At this time, Shen Rui looked dusty, and because half of his official robe was wet due to the rain, he looked even more embarrassed.  Although Wang Hua guessed that he must have been summoned to the palace just after arriving in Beijing, and did not even return home to change clothes, and had no time to communicate with his father-in-law, he still couldn't help but go see Yang Tinghe.  Seeing the latter shaking his head slightly, he was still disappointed and sighed secretly.  Yang Tinghe failed to respond to his son-in-law's words, so he spoke first in order to give his son-in-law some hints.  "The Emperor summoned ShenWhen I return to Beijing, I want to ask him about the situation in Henan?  Nowadays, Henan is still suffering from drought, and Shanxi and Shaanxi are not enough to assist Henan. If there is a war at the border at this time, Shanxi and Shaanxi may be struggling to provide supplies.  " As he said that, he looked at Shen Rui. Not only him, but also Brother Shou, everyone in the room looked at Shen Rui. Shen Rui sighed silently in his heart. Zhang Hui came to pick him up, and he only wanted to know about the inner palace.  After leaving the six words "Don't tell, don't ask", Shen Rui told him in detail about the emperor's request for a personal expedition. Shen Rui knew that the less he knew about the inner palace, the better, no matter how curious he was.  He didn't know how to ask. He was not surprised when he heard that the imperial commander personally conquered the country. It was still the same as Zhengde in history. However, in history, it was two years before Zhengde went to the border and later personally conquered Ning Fan.  It's really not a good time to go to war personally. Especially, Ning Fan is probably eager for Brother Shou to go to war personally! Even if Yang Tinghe doesn't say this, Shen Rui also wants to persuade him. But, this is the case.  He was really determined to conquer it himself, who could stop him? Historically, the ministers didn¡¯t let him go, so why didn¡¯t he sneak away to the Xuan Mansion on his own? Hearing Brother Shou call out to Shen Rui in a cold voice, Shen Rui took a deep breath and said,  Brother Shangshou looked at him with gloomy eyes and said solemnly: "I dare to ask your majesty, are you preparing to defend the enemy or to attack the Tatars?  Brother Shou was stunned for a moment, then snorted coldly and said, "You just came back, so I don't know."  What I said is that if the northern invaders invade, I will personally conquer them.  He turned his head and glanced at everyone, "It's just preparations first."  " Actually speaking, border invasions happen in every year or even month. This year, due to the severe drought in the grassland, the probability of large-scale invasion is even greater. Shen Rui lowered his head and said: "I secretly thought that if we defended the enemy, the border crossing would be real.  We are always in a state of preparation for war, and the Siyi Pavilion has been operating for several years Only when there is a report confirming that there is indeed a large-scale enemy attack, and that it is indeed worthy of His Majesty's command, can we move on a large scale.  " "If your Majesty is going to attack the Tatars, I think it will take several years to recharge your batteries.  I have only learned some basic martial arts from my teacher for a few days, and have never seriously studied the art of war. However, I have also heard that "the first is to attack the enemy with the enemy, then the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the enemy, and then the second is to attack the city."  "One of the purposes of opening the horse market in the border areas of the imperial court is to let the grasslands know that in their eyes, ordinary cattle and sheep, and even "worthless" things such as cowhide, wool, cows and goats' milk, can be exchanged for good goods from the Ming Dynasty.  They could easily raise cattle and sheep, and they would have enough food and clothing, without having to fight for their lives. Since then, they have raised more cattle and sheep and less cavalry, which gradually eliminated their desire to plunder. I think this is a conspiracy.  ." Shen Rui said, taking out the folds wrapped in several layers of oil paper to avoid getting wet by the rain, and held them up with both hands.  "Your Majesty, Lan Tian, ??the disciple of Mr. Li Ge and the son of Lan Zhang, the right deputy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, is currently in Henan. He is developing veterinary drugs regardless of the hard work. He just wants to let the grassland know that there are some good things that cannot be snatched away.  They are not worthy of taking away the prescriptions and herbs! Only by maintaining peace and obeying the rules can their cattle and sheep be fatter and exchange for more things. This is what I have written on this matter  ¡­¡± Li Dongyang secretly exhaled from the side. He did not expect that Shen Rui was kind enough to let his beloved disciple put his name in front of the emperor. He then nodded slightly to Yang Tinghe to express his gratitude.  Brother Shou didn't pick up the discount at all, and sneered again and again, "Shen Rui, you haven't seen the latest news report from Siyi Pavilion. There is a severe drought in the grassland, and countless cattle and horses have died. All the cattle and horses are dead. Do you have any veterinary medicine?"  What's the use?" "I have another secret report" Shen Rui looked directly at Brother Shou.  Brother Shou raised his eyebrows and then slowly stretched out his hand.  Suddenly Liu Zhong looked outside again, with a somewhat anxious look on his face. Brother Shou frowned and asked him what was going on. Liu Zhong lowered his head and replied that it was the Queen Mother who sent someone to convey the decree.  Brother Shou said expressionlessly: "I am discussing something with the important ministers of the imperial court. Did he just break into the Qianqing Palace casually? Didn't he know the rules on the first day as a servant? Drag him down and kill him with a stick. In the future, those who don't behave well will be sent to the servants. Internal officials  There is no need to keep the supervisors." All the cabinet ministers were anxious and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, wait!" "Your Majesty, you can't!" There were several veterans of the Hongzhi Dynasty who knew that Queen Mother Zhang was trying to attack the Hongzhi Dynasty.  He came here so arrogantly.  "In the Zhengde Dynasty, because the young emperor did not like to see the Zhang family, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother in the palace, although silent, did not stop supporting the young emperor, so the Queen Mother Zhang became relatively calm.  And now the Empress Dowager has passed away The ministers have vaguely heard some rumors that the Queen Mother is acting like the Hongzhi Dynasty again. A while ago, it seemed that she wanted to take Mrs. Jin to live in the palace Today??, as expected.  "The Queen Mother can be confused as a woman, but the Emperor cannot be confused!"  The word "filial piety" must be held high!  There are already some rumors out there accusing the Emperor of being unfilial. If today¡¯s criticism goes down, what will be said on the streets tomorrow!  This is very detrimental to the stability of the country!  Zhang Yong didn't even care. He climbed over and pulled the corner of Brother Shou's robe, with a look of pleading on his face.  Brother Shou¡¯s face was livid, and it seemed that it took him a while to calm down a little bit of his anger, and he waved to Liu Zhong to bring someone in.  The person who came to convey the order was Liang Gong, the eunuch beside Empress Dowager Zhang.  How could this person, who has always had a delicate heart, not know that today¡¯s trip would be a disaster.  However, the Queen Mother asked him to come by name. He also knew that the matter was of great importance, and he did not dare to hand it over to the little chamberlain easily, so he had to bite the bullet and come.  When I came in and looked at the cabinet boss who was kneeling on the floor, his calves began to cramp.  Now it is a bitter gourd face on the face, and his mouth is three -pointer than Huanglian. He is not good at talking.  The Queen Mother said that the Emperor was not allowed to conduct the expedition in person.  The Queen Mother said that she would summon the princes of Zhao, Zhou, Xing, Ning, and Heng to the capital and raise them in the palace.  The expressions of several pavilion elders suddenly changed, and the whole hall was shocked.  Brother Shou suddenly burst into laughter, which was mixed with the sound of thunder and rain outside the palace, which was particularly harsh * Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture, Shenjiafang, the fifth room of the Shen family. The servants in the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard came in and out, constantly carrying some household items.  He came out and tied himself to the carriage outside the second door. The loaded carriage quickly withdrew and rushed to the dock.  Because Sister Fu's wedding was scheduled for the end of the year, the Lu family's merchant ship was about to sail northward in the past few days. Wufang asked the Lu family to help transport part of the dowry, along with the packed Soviet-style furniture and saved wood, to Tianjin Wei's dowry house.  go.  This was agreed before the marriage. Although the young couple got married in the Prince Consort's Mansion in Beijing, they would go to Weidan in Tianjin to live there after the marriage.  With five houses and a wealthy family, the three brothers loved the youngest girl as much as they loved their own daughter, so they supplemented the dowry list a lot.  In addition, there are five houses and other houses ready to be sent to Shandong, Beijing, and Liaodong for the Mid-Autumn Festival. The two masters did not bother them, and they just asked the Lu family to ship them away. Therefore, the doors of several houses were open, and people came and went, making it very lively.  The chief steward here was checking things with a list when he suddenly saw Shen Qiong from the third room over there, leading a group of people and carrying several large boxes into the courtyard.  Because he brought many people and carried a box, he kept asking Shen Qi to add makeup to Sister Fu's son, and the housekeepers couldn't stop him, so the shrewd boy quickly ran inside to report the news to Shen Qi.  Shen Qi was also busy. He frowned after hearing the news, but he had to come here.  This Shen Qiong is the biological son that Mrs. Yong Er later got. It was for this legitimate son that she plotted against Shen Ling, the eldest son of the concubine.  This child had been extremely spoiled by Mrs. Yong's second wife. Later, Mrs. Yong's second wife was imprisoned in the family temple. Shen Yong was busy with the family business and had no one to discipline him, so he was seduced by several incompetent cousins ??from his uncle's family.  He changed his ways and spent money, learned all the tricks of the libertine, and made trouble even when he was doing nothing.  ¡°It would be a ghost to believe that he came to add makeup to Sister Fu, especially since he brought a group of companions who didn¡¯t look like he was going to get along.  Because she was afraid that he was here to cause trouble, Shen Qi also secretly asked people to be on guard.  When Brother Qiong saw Shen Qi, he subconsciously shrank his neck. Because Shen Qi, the patriarch of the clan, was fair in dealing with matters and was popular among the people, he became more and more prestigious. Shen Qiong was somewhat afraid of him.  But soon, he smiled, went up to greet me, and said, "This scene today really opened my eyes. Sister Fu is so lucky! Brother Qi, you are doing a dowry for your sister, no?"  I know, and I thought you were doing it as a betrothal gift for your son, haha, haha. "The words were nondescript and not very pleasant to hear. The laughter that followed was so fake that he didn't realize it and even waved his arms.  Lifting the box to the side, his arms moved twice.  The companion wearing a bamboo hat was so photographed that he staggered and the box almost fell off.  Seeing what he was doing, Shen Qi didn't even bother to lure him to the flower hall, so she just asked him what he was doing here in the small courtyard.  "Of course there is something, something big." Brother Qiong suddenly pretended to be mysterious and looked around again and again. He also walked a few steps and stretched his neck to look again. He waved his hands to let his companions follow suit and look around.  Shen Qi frowned and asked in a deep voice: "What on earth are you doing?!" Brother Qiong smiled shyly and said, "I have to send the second brother out before I can say anything." As he spoke,The few men behind them formed a siege and surrounded them in the middle.  The few senior followers around Shen Qi who were good at fisting and kicking immediately became alert and prepared to protect the master.  At this time, the companion carrying the box moved forward and lifted the bamboo hat.  Shen Qi couldn't help but change his face, and suddenly shouted "Stop", then turned back to the attendants and said: "Everyone go out first." Several of the attendants did not see the man, and they were a little confused, but the master's voice was stern, so they all obeyed the order  He withdrew, but still stood guard at the entrance of the courtyard. Some people ran to call the housekeeper.  In the courtyard, Brother Qiong said to Shen Qi with a playful smile: "Look, Brother Qi, I told you there was something big, but you didn't believe me." Shen Qi ignored him at all and just stared at the companion carrying the box.  The man had already taken off his bamboo hat, revealing a face that was more or less similar to Shen Qi's.  Shen Qi looked at the young man in front of him with keen eyes, as if looking for the shadow of his childhood on his face. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Most of the children in his family have the appearance of Xiao¡¯s mother and daughter, ¡° Xiao¡¯s father¡±, but in his family, the appearance of his children is similar to his. Except for the thick and long earlobes, there is almost nothing like the Jiang family.  In the past, when the couple had private conversations, Mr. Jiang always pretended to be angry and said that he had suffered a loss, and he joked that if he had more children in the future, one of them would be like her He felt like he was in a nightmare, murmuring: "Hua  Brother Hua?¡± The young man opposite also looked at him with complicated eyes, pursed his lips, and said nothing.  Over there, Brother Qiong opened a big box, but it was completely empty. There was nothing to add to it.  He smiled and said: "Brother Xiaodong asked me to bring this to invite you over. I said no, just for the sake of my sister-in-law and niece, you won't not go, right, Brother Qi?" Hearing "Xiaodong"  With words such as "brother", "sister-in-law and niece", Shen Qi suddenly woke up and her eyes became sharp.  Staring at the group of people coldly, he asked Brother Qiong, "What did you say? Brother Xiaodong?!" Brother Xiaodong is back?  !  What does that mean!  Brother Xiaodong was taken away by Ning Fan!  But it was the young man opposite who opened his mouth first, and he slowly smiled, "Daddy, we are back." This call of "Daddy" made Shen Qi have mixed emotions and almost shed tears. This was something he had been thinking about for ten years.  I want to find my wife and children.  But the young man Xiao Hua said again, "Mom and sister are at the ancestral hall. Brother Xiaodong asked me to come over and invite you over." Shen Qi slowly closed his eyes, holding the intact fist in his sleeve tightly and steady.  After calming down, when he opened his eyes again, he no longer looked at Brother Xiaohua. He pointed at the box and sneered at Brother Qiong: "You plan to kidnap me again? The Shen family cannot help you being so presumptuous!" He raised his head and walked out.  Walk.  The word "kidnapping" made Brother Xiao Hua tremble slightly.  Brother Qiong smiled shamelessly and said: "Look what the second brother said" He patted Brother Xiaohua and said playfully: "Look at your father" Brother Xiaohua had already stopped smiling and tilted his face.  Brother Qiong glanced at him, and the vicious look in his eyes made the hairs on the back of Brother Qiong's neck stand up in shock.  He couldn't help but take a step back, no longer daring to be as arrogant as before.  Brother Xiao Hua ignored him, put on his bamboo hat again, and made a gesture, and all his companions dropped a few empty boxes and followed him outside.  The butler was waiting anxiously at the door. He was relieved when he saw Shen Qi coming out, but when he saw those people following closely behind him, he had a bad feeling in his heart.  Shen Qi calmly ordered: "I want to go to the ancestral hall. After you are done here, go to the dock to see how the loading is going there. After all, it is our family's business. Don't just ask the Lu family for help."  But his eyes kept staring at the butler.  The butler was so smart. He responded and talked about the packing of the dowry, but his heart was already in a state of confusion. The dock had already arranged someone, so why would he be needed? How could the servants of the Shen family know how to load the ship? Naturally, it was the boatmen of the Lu family.  When a sailor comes, how can he be called a help?  There is clearly something behind the words!  The leader watched the group of people shouting and leaving, and the chief steward hurriedly ran to report the news.  Go ask the Lu family for help!  Under what circumstances do you need help from the Lu family?  He ran to Jiufang first. Although Master Liliu of Jiufang resigned and returned to his hometown, it didn't matter how much respect he had for him among the clan and officials.  Unexpectedly, when I arrived at the Ninth House, I was disappointed. The door said that I had been invited away by the head of the Ninth House, the only Du Miao of my direct descendants, and Shen Yan¡¯s son, Brother Xiaoyu. It also said that I had gone to the ancestral hall.  The first housekeeper was even more worried. He ran to the neighboring rooms seven and eight, and they all said that they had been invited to the ancestral hall. The seventh room also asked, wasn't it called by the clan leader?  But discussing Sister Fu's affairs?  The steward¡¯s heart is going to be bad, and the family willThe heads of the family have all been taken to the ancestral hall. If anything happens, it will be dealt with in one fell swoop!  He hurriedly talked to the chief stewards of each house and the stewards of the outer courtyard, and asked them to keep an eye on their own affairs. He gathered his servants together and hurried to fetch reinforcements.  The Lu family!  Why are you looking for the Lu family?  Because the Lu family has a caravan with many guards!  ¡°Twenty or thirty ships came back this time ¡°But when Shen Qi arrived at the ancestral hall, he found that it was already filled with the heads of each room and clan elders like Shen Li.  ??Among them, Shen Hu, the head of the third room, has become more and more noisy in eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling in recent years. His health has deteriorated. After a stroke, Shen Yong acts as the head of the house whenever something happens in the family.  At this moment, Shen Yong was a little surprised when he saw his son Qiong Geer coming with Shen Qi, but he didn't go into details.  Shen Li, the head of the seventh house, is an official in another place, and this time it is his legitimate son Shen Qin who is here.  Shen Qin was under the name of the third master Shen Run in his early years. In the third year of Zhengde, he accompanied his family members to Beijing to take the exam, and stayed at Qingze Academy to study with Shen Bao.  Shen Baozhi was not interested in fame, so he went to Penglai Academy in Shandong with his master Zhu Yunming and his clan brother Shen Yue. He became obsessed with calligraphy and painting, and is now well-known in Qilu.  Shen Qin has been studying hard and came back to take the provincial examination last year. Although she was at the bottom of the list, she actually passed the exam.  Knowing that there was no hope for spring and his wife was pregnant, Shen Qin did not go to Beijing again. He planned to accompany his wife to give birth and wait for the child to be born before heading north.  Because Shen Qin was often taken care of by the fifth house, Shen Qin was the closest to Shen Qi. When she saw him come in, she immediately stood up to greet him.  In the morning, he went to the fifth room to give gifts. Now he smiled and said: "Isn't the family busy? How come the second brother Qi has time to call everyone over, but is there anything urgent? I am just a free man, and the second brother has something to do.  Just call me" Shen Qi's face became a little ugly. He looked around and saw everyone nodding at him. He knew that most of them were deceived in his name. He couldn't help but get angry. He turned around and glared at Brother Qiong and the others, and shouted loudly  He said, "I didn't call you here. Brother Qiong, fifth brother, come and tell us what's going on?" As soon as he finished speaking, a clear voice came from outside, "I called you here.  "While talking, a young man dressed as a scholar helped Shen Hai come in from behind the ancestral hall, followed by a strong man, dragging him forward, but it was Shen Yuan who had been locked up in the ancestral hall to recite sutras and repent.  .  Shen Yuan was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he did not dare to say a word for fear of being beaten. It was not until he saw everyone in the hall that he hurriedly pulled his neck and called for help.  The clan members were startled and stood up one after another. However, the strong man took Shen Yuan to a chair and sat on it, then stood behind him.  Shen Yuan was in shock. He couldn't help but tremble while sitting on the chair. He held on so hard that he didn't collapse.  Except for Shen Qi, everyone was stunned and asked Shen Hai what was going on.  Although Shen Hai claimed that his illness had not appeared in public for a long time, he was in good health and looked good during the Qingming Festival. But now he has a slumped look on his face, as if he had suddenly aged ten years.  After being placed in the position of the clan leader by the young man, Shen Hai looked at everyone, sighed slightly, and announced with a trembling voice: "Everyone, my clan's eldest brother, Sun Xiaodong, Shen Dong, is back." Everyone was shocked.  , all looked at the young man.  Not everyone knows who kidnapped Brother Xiaodong, but after all, he has been in the gangster's den for so many years, and now he comes back quietly and calls everyone to the ancestral hall in this deceptive way. What good can be done?  !  For a moment everyone was on guard.  But when I saw the little Dong brother bowing to everyone around him, he said politely: "The boy is back. I have met all the elders." He said politely, but his actions were not polite at all. He stepped forward and sat on the patriarch's bed.  position.  "I came back this time and I have a few things to do. This is the first one." Brother Xiaodong smiled and patted the armrest of the chair. "I am the eldest son of the clan. I should be the leader of the clan." * * Jiangxi Jiujiang Fuxun  Yangdukou The official ship of the governor of Southern Gansu is moored on the shore to replenish food and fresh water.  The boatmen were busy carrying supplies, but the staff, guards and even servants who came with the ship got permission from the master to get off the ship to relax and have fun.  Many vendors carrying baskets selling jujube cakes, tea cakes, and fresh fruits came over and tried their best to sell their own products. These were considered local snacks, cheap and affordable, and many people came to visit.  Jiang Rong, the third son of Jiang Mian, the governor of Southern Jiangxi, also walked out of the cabin, enjoying the river breeze and watching the excitement on the shore.  In the eleventh year of Hongzhi's reign, Jiang Rong was introduced by his biological uncle, Jiang Mian, a Hanlin scholar, and became a close disciple of Wang Hua.  Xie was very high-spirited back then.I feel that seeking fame is like searching for something.  ¡°However, he participated in three spring exams in the 12th, 15th, and 18th years of Hongzhi¡¯s reign, but failed to make the list. His fighting spirit was also worn away by the long and desperate scientific examination time in these ten years.  In the early years of Zhengde, Wang Hua and Jiang Mian were suppressed by the cabinet, and Jiang Sheng's life was not easy.  With the current situation being like this and his family having no luck in taking the exams, Jiang San gave up his plan to become an official in the imperial examinations and followed his father all the time, helping him with the general affairs.  From Zhejiang to Sichuan, and now to Jiangxi.  Because Jiang San has always been low-key and approachable, several guards came back from buying food and happily came over to invite him to try it.  Several people here were talking and laughing, and a staff member over there suddenly came over quickly with a serious expression, asking Jiang San to take a step to talk.  But it was said that a salesman had bumped into him deliberately just now, and then he whispered to him as an apology that he was from Songjiang Mansion, his surname was Shen, and he was related by marriage to Mr. Jiang. Now he had something very important to report to Mr. Jiang, and he said  The word "Ning" was added.  This staff member was hired by Jiang Sheng when he took up his post in Sichuan. He didn¡¯t know much about the relationship between the family members, but he knew very well why the imperial court sent Jiang Sheng to governor Gannan at this time!  It¡¯s about Ning Fan, no matter it¡¯s true or false, we can¡¯t let it go.  This staff member was also a cautious person. He found a few guards who were shopping nearby and gave a few instructions. Then a few people led the salesman away, searched him in a secluded place, and quietly stuffed the salesman into a cart carrying vegetables.  Bring it to the boat.  The staff made sure that the man did not have any murder weapon and was tied tightly before coming to report the news to the master.  "Songjiang Shen family?" Jiang San subconsciously asked in surprise, but quickly covered it up, saying that his staff did an excellent job, and let him lead the way, while he went to see it first.   "The son has been confirmed. He is Shen Jun of the Shen family clan, one of the three sons of the Shen family who was wrongly accused in the Japanese Tongtang case. His eldest brother is Shen Xuan, the chief envoy of Shanxi Province. His father was the patriarch at the time, and now the patriarch is  It's Shen Qi." Jiang San looked at his father's face and said cautiously.  Jiang Sheng sighed when he mentioned Shen Qi.  Shen Qi¡¯s first wife, Mrs. Jiang, is Jiang Sheng¡¯s niece. She was raised by him since she was a child because her parents lost her parents. She is almost like his biological daughter.  That year, it was his fiftieth birthday. Shen Qi's family said they were here to celebrate his birthday, but they never came. Later, news came that there was a Japanese disaster in Songjiang, and his niece and children were kidnapped and their whereabouts were unknown. Shen Qi was a Japanese conspirator.  The Jiang family hurriedly sent people to inquire, but it was indeed Shen Qi who took tens of thousands of taels of silver to redeem someone. He was deemed to be "enemies". The evidence was conclusive and the person was jailed.  The Japanese pirates in Songjiang had a great impact. Japanese pirates often appeared in Hangzhou, so martial law was imposed everywhere.  The Jiang family was also affected because they lost a niece, and the niece's son-in-law was sentenced to treason with the Japanese.  At the same time, Wang Huazheng was suppressed by the three elders of the imperial court, Liu Xie and Li. Jiang Sheng's younger brother, Jiang Mian, was a member of the New Imperial Party because he was the Youyu De of Youchunfang in Zhan Shifu. He was also squeezed out by the former emperor's old ministers. This was reflected in  In Zhejiang official circles, there was a more direct opposition to Jiang Sheng.  There are many vacancies in the post of governor of Hangzhou. There are many people who covet Jiang Sheng and they are eager to unseat Jiang Sheng immediately. They use various means at the moment.  During that time, Jiang Sheng was almost squeezed out of his position and had too much time to take care of himself, let alone help the Shen family. In the end, he gave up on his niece, nephew and son-in-law, who seemed to have no hope, and cut off his tail to survive.  Jiang Sheng is not guilt-free about this.  His condition improved after Liu Xie was expelled from the court, Wang Hua and Yang Tinghe entered the cabinet one after another, and Jiang Mian was also reused.  He was promoted to deputy envoy of Zhejiang Province, and later transferred to the Chief Envoy Department of Sichuan Province to participate in politics on the right.  Although he is considered a member of Wang Hua's party, his son is Shen Rui's uncle because he is a disciple of Wang Hua, and Jiang Mian has a close friendship with Yang Tinghe, he has never had any contact with the Shen family. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out???????? did not help his niece and son-in-law, but treated him as an abandoned son to protect himself When the injustice of the three sons of the Shen family is revealed, and the Shen family rises again, he will be a villain if he gets involved again.  ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to meet the Shen family here again today.  Jiang Sheng gestured to his son to continue.  Jiang San then recounted what Shen Jun said one by one.  But it was said that Shen Jun was determined to find his abducted nephew, Brother Xiaodong, and came to Nanchang alone.  He has been in charge of the affairs of the Shen family all year round. He has experience in managing family property and knows how to deal with government officials. It didn't take long for him to obtain a new identity and set up a small shop in the city.  Thinking that food and grass would go first before the soldiers and horses were mobilized, and if he wanted to rebel, he must have food and grass, so he started from this. Once he had a firm foothold, he started to buy land and run a grain and rice shop. He paid attention to the trends of grain and rice in the Nanchang Prefecture market, and got closer little by little.  Wangfu Grange, getting close to the servants and stewards at the bottom of Ning Mansion, collecting all kinds of things bit by bitinformation.  Over the past few years, I have collected a lot of evidence that the prince's government oppressed the people and occupied their fields. They even discovered Zhuangzi, a place where Ning Fan specializes in locking up people.  There were all kids from rich families in that village, but it was a pity that he didn¡¯t have his nephew.  "These were all kidnapped by Ning Fan in collusion with bandits. Some were directly exchanged for ransom, while others were kept in captivity until they were mature and became "one of their own".  Thinking that his nephew might also be "raised", Shen Jun couldn't help but feel frightened. The Shen family was divided into clans. Brother Xiaodong couldn't implicate other clan members, but he, the head of the house, couldn't escape.  His mentality also changed from wanting to make meritorious deeds at the beginning, to leaving a way out for himself later.  Last year, the fourth young master of Ning Fan proudly went to Beijing to be the "Prince of Xiang" in the Imperial Ancestral Temple. However, the year passed and no good news came. After that, the price of food on the market began to fluctuate, and I don't know where the food and rice were shipped.  Shen Jun felt bad.  Until recently, Shen Jun discovered that the wealthy children of Guanren Zhuangzi he had been staring at disappeared overnight. The drunken gatekeeper said that those people had gone back to their respective homes.  Shen Jun knew something was wrong, so he immediately packed up his belongings and prepared to report the news - the news of King Ning's rebellion was most valuable before he raised his troops!  The first choice is of course to go straight to Nanjing.  Where there are heavy troops, there is Wang Shouren!  However, the irony is that Shen Jun has been looking for his nephew Xiaodong brother for so many years and met him on the waterway to Nanjing.  At that time, Shen Jun vowed to "rescue his nephew", but when the two boats entered the ferry together and Xiaodong brother recognized him and called him "second uncle", Shen Jun decisively jumped off the boat and ran away.  Of course, the facts proved that his choice was right, and he was hunted and searched for a long way afterward.  Relying on the gold and silver needles hidden close to his body, Shen Jun changed his clothes, pretended to be a small shopman walking around the streets, and turned north.  Since I couldn¡¯t go to Nanjing, I went to Henan to find Shen Rui!  Today is also a coincidence. I happened to be looking for a boat to cross the river at Xunyang Ferry, and I heard that the official boat of the governor of Southern Jiangxi was docked.  When Shen Jun was in Nanchang, he had been trying to make good friends with the lower-level officials. He knew all the news from the official residence in the Yamen, and knew that the governor of Southern Gansu was the former Songjiang prefect, Shen Qi's Yue family, and his son was also a disciple of Wang Hua.  He immediately came straight here, not only wanting to send out the news as soon as possible, but also asking for blessings After hearing this, Jiang Sheng pondered slightly and said: "There are many things Shen Jun said that are not true, but that's right.  It is human nature and there is no need to delve into it. However, even if everything he said is true, it is only his own judgment that Ning Fan is about to rebel. The truth is still unknown. " Jiang San hurriedly said: "Ning Fan's ambition must be guarded against, the emperor will adjust it.  Father is here, isn't it now is the right time" Jiang Sheng glanced at his son and sighed: "Although you have had a lot of experience in these years, you have never been exposed to military affairs. I don't know how powerful it is, although the governor oversees military affairs.  The feudal lord has been running Jiangxi for a long time. If he really wants to raise troops, it is difficult to say whether the soldiers in Jiangxi's garrison can be used. "You also read the Di newspaper. You said how many garrison's are under the jurisdiction of Henan Dusi. Why did Shen Rui come from Beijing to return.  Want to lead Jiang He and Gao Wenhu's troops?  Without this hand, a small Wu'an County would have allowed him to break in.  Do you think that the little prince of Linzhang Prince's Palace has only been in Zhangde Palace for how long? What about Ning Fan?  " Jiang San's brows knitted into knots. He knew it was difficult before, but his father didn't say too much. He only said that the situation in the local area was complicated, and he would wait to go to the local area for a month or two to find out the situation. " He still thought it was as follows.  According to the inspector's routine, he investigated the vassal king's oppression of the people, local officials' inaction, etc., and urged the local guards to suppress the bandits. After all, it was still far away from Nanchang, and it was more of a shock to him as soon as he arrived in Jiangxi.  Encountering Ning Fan's sudden move, based on this analysis, my father's position is really dangerous. "Then we will wait for reinforcements" Jiang San interrupted him and said, "I will send someone to report to the north.  You set off immediately, take Shen Jun to Nanjing as soon as possible, and ask your senior brother (Wang Shouren) to send troops - let alone assist in suppressing the bandits.  Pay attention to the news along the way.  Reading the Di newspaper, there is also banditry in western Zhejiang and northern Fujian, and Nanjing may have sent troops here in the past.  Jiang San's eyes lit up, "Father, please go slowly" Jiang Sheng waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, as a father, I will deal with them."  ¡± (End of this chapter)
