The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 145 Changfengzhongju ([-]-character chapter)
In the evening, Chang Feng went on a business trip and took Huzi back home.

The two brothers Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling came.

Zhang Heling was lying on the ground in the front yard, pretending to be a big bastard, with Tangtang on his back.Still muttering in his mouth: "Staying still is bastard."

Zhang Yanling peeled the oranges for Tangtang and fed them into Tangtang's mouth.

Seeing this, Chang Feng yelled: "Tangtang, don't be rude!"

Then Chang Feng scolded Liu Xiaoyan: "You don't care!"

Liu Xiaoyan looked helpless: "Uncle Xiaoguo insists on making Tangtang a king, what can I do?"

Chang Feng cupped his hands: "You two little uncles, my sister-in-law is rude, please Haihan."

Zhang Yanling hugged Tangtang to the ground: "Brother Chang, you'll be offended if you say that! Tangtang is like our brothers' half-sister!"

Zhang Heling echoed: "My brother is right! If Brother Chang hadn't saved us, we might have died in the black jail in Wanping County!"

"You saved my eldest sister's life, and you saved the lives of our brothers. You are our brothers' great benefactor! Sister Ni is our real sister!"

Zhang Yanling took out a pocket from his bosom.In the pocket was a pile of human teeth, still stained with blood.

Chang Feng asked: "This is?"

Zhang Heling explained: "We suffered such a big loss in the prison in Wanping County, can we not take revenge?"

"Today, my brothers and I went to Wanping County. We pulled out all the teeth of the magistrate, county magistrate, master secretary, and pawn!"

Chang Feng was a little dumbfounded.These two little uncles are simply two lawless little devil kings.

Chang Feng advised the two: "The county magistrate, the county magistrate, and the master book are all officials ordered by the imperial court. Although the pawns have no rank, they at least have a reputation for raising people."

"Scholars can't be humiliated! Besides, I have interrogated them clearly. The matter of the Vulture Society has nothing to do with them."

Zhang Heling said: "Got it! We won't pull out their teeth next time, but at most we will pull out their beards."

Chang Feng asked: "By the way, what is the purpose of the two uncles coming to the humble house?"

Zhang Heling ran to a box in the front yard.Open the box, and it's full of top-notch treasures!

Chang Feng took a look, and many of those treasures looked familiar to him.It seems that in the second half of the 23rd year of Chenghua, he copied the proceeds of the evil monks from the previous dynasty.

Before Emperor Hongzhi sold most of the treasures, a small part was given to Queen Zhang.

Zhang Heling said: "Our eldest sister asked us to bring it here and give it to Brother Chang! Our eldest sister said that Brother Chang is as grateful to the Zhang family as a mountain. From now on, the affairs of the Chang family will be the affairs of the Zhang family!"

"The affairs of the Chang family are the affairs of the Zhang family" said from the mouth of the master of the harem, it is equal to a political commitment, and it is as important as Mount Tai!

Chang Feng hurriedly said: "I, Chang Feng, have no virtue or ability to be so loved by the empress."

Zhang Heling said: "Brother Chang, why do you always treat yourself as an outsider! We have to follow the etiquette of outsiders, we have to kowtow dozens of times when we see our saviors! If you do this again, I will kowtow to you!"

Zhang Yanling echoed: "That's right! The Chang family and the Zhang family, we are all one family! You are still our sister-in-law and brother-in-law!"

After Dayongchang Temple was rescued, Zhang Fengling and Liu Xiaoyan paid homage to righteous sisters.Liu Xiaoyan married Chang Feng, and Chang Feng naturally became the queen's brother-in-law.

Tangtang said: "Three brothers, can we stop talking in the courtyard? I'm already hungry!"

"Brother Zhang, can you throw away those teeth. It's so disgusting!"

The two little uncles are not very old, and they have a "family" with one bite.Liu Xiaoyan had nothing to shy away from the female relatives like Mrs. Ninth and Tangtang. The whole family ate at the same table.

Zhuang Zhuang is six months old and has already opened his teeth.This little guy seems to have a soft spot for scallions.A plate of scallions was served at the family banquet for my uncle.

Zhuang Zhuang sucked the green onions, babbling, very cute.The two brothers of the Zhang family liked him very much.

After the banquet, Chang Feng sent away the two little devil kings.

Liu Xiaoyan hugged Zhuang Zhuang: "It's Jiumei who will serve you today. I'll go back to my room and put Zhuang Zhuang to sleep."

Chang Feng and Mrs. Ninth entered the West Wing.

Chang Feng said with a smile: "There is great news."

Madam Nine asked, "What good news?"

Chang Feng said: "In the future, those clansmen in Xiangxi Lane, no matter whether they are officials or people from the Jianghu, dare not provoke them."

Ninth Madam was a little strange: "Why?"

Chang Feng deliberately took it to the hall: "Go and pour me a cup of tea. I will moisten my throat and tell you slowly."

Madam Nine brought tea to Chang Feng: "Why? Don't worry about me."

Chang Feng said with a smile: "The new Nanzhen Fushi Wang Miaoxin suggested that the [-] people under your command be recorded in the Nanzhen Fusi's ear-eye book."

"Although Nansi's eyes and ears have no official position or staff, they are still serving for Jin Yiwei. Who dares to mess with Jin Yiwei's eyes and ears?"

Madam Nine was stunned when she heard the news.

Then she fell on the table of the Eight Immortals and burst into tears.

For so many years, she gave up everything, even her own chastity, for the survival of her people in the capital.

In the past, even the police from the Ministry of Punishment, the squad leader from Daxing County, and the commander of the military and horse department could bully her.For the sake of her people, she could only bear the humiliation.

But now, the clansmen have become the eyes and ears of Jin Yiwei.He has firmly established his foothold in the capital.

Looking at the entire Forty-Nine City from now on, who the hell would dare touch my Xiangxi Lane?
How could Madam Nine not cry with joy?

Chang Feng gently stroked Mrs. Ninth's back: "You have always been hard-hearted. Why are you crying this time? Don't cry. Let Xiaoyan hear it, and think I'm playing something novel with you."

Madam Nine hugged Chang Feng: "Chang Feng, my life is yours for the rest of my life!"

Chang Feng gritted his teeth: "Ah! You hug me gently. My injury is not healed yet, it hurts!"

Madam Nine sat on the bed, patted the bedding with her hands: "Come here, lie down."

Let's say that Chang Feng smashed the Condor Club in the capital.A month later, Datong.

This time the little prince brought [-] Tatar cavalry.

On the side of the Ming army, the Datong garrison, the reinforcements of the Shaanxi army, and the reinforcements of the Beijing camp totaled 13 people.

At the beginning of the Tumu Fort change, the strength of the Ming army and Wala was 50 to [-].

But battles depend on who fights, and soldiers depend on who leads them.

When building the fort, the commanders were Bao Zong and Wang Zhen, the "God of War of the Ming Dynasty".

This time the commanders were Ma Wensheng and Wang Yue—two civil servants who were known to be able to fight in the Chenghua Dynasty.

They commanded 13 Ming troops and guarded Datong like an iron bucket.

In fact, Emperor Hongzhi had been on the throne for more than two years, and the national situation had just begun to flourish.Emperor Hongzhi did not want a war at the border to consume national power.

Before Ma Wensheng left, Emperor Hongzhi gave him a confession: "Try to keep the enemy out of the country and avoid a decisive battle with the main force. If the little prince makes an inch, then our army will not have to back down, and we must show our military and national prestige!"

Therefore, the strategy drawn up by Ma Wensheng focuses on defense.There is no idea of ​​taking the initiative.

However, the game between countries is changing rapidly.

The list of hidden stakes that Chang Feng found in Yuansheng Teahouse came in handy.

After Sun Guishou arrived in Datong, he dispatched capable men who pretended to be Mongols and sneaked into the Tartar army barracks, and contacted the hidden stakes hidden in the Tartar army.

The hidden pile conveyed two important pieces of information.

The first piece of information: In fact, there are hidden dangers in the Tatar rear.The Oala tribe revived, posing a threat to the hinterland of Tatar.The little prince went south to invade the bandits this time, but he didn't make up his mind to fight decisively, he mainly focused on probing.

The second piece of information: The Tatar army stored food and supplies in Pingyangchuan, 150 miles north of Datong.

Ma Wensheng made a decisive decision and personally selected [-] cavalry, with Ye Guang as the main general, to attack Pingyangchuan by surprise.Destroy the food and supplies of the Tartar army in one fell swoop.

Without food, grass and supplies, what's the point of this battle?
Before, Vulture would send someone to contact the little prince.Saying something will blow up the Emperor Ming and a bunch of generals.

But now the little prince has not received any news that the vulture will succeed in his plot.

The little prince thought of retreating.

Ma Wensheng judged the situation and gave the little prince a step down.

Want to contribute?Can!The total number of envoys is at most 500, and they are not allowed to carry any weapons.I, Ming, welcome you to pay tribute to the capital.The Ming army will also send troops to escort.

Facing Datong's impregnable city defenses, the little prince couldn't beat it.Don't fight, stay here for too long and fear the backyard will catch fire.

In desperation, he had to go down the slope to the donkey.He dispatched his Zhiyuan Tongha and led 500 people to Beijing to pay tribute.

The incident of the little prince's tribute in the early Hongzhi Dynasty was settled.The little prince's intention of invading the invaders failed, and the army returned to the grassland.Tatar Zhiyuan Tongha led 500 people to Beijing under the strict "escort" of the Ming army.

Chang Feng also played a part in quelling the little prince's tribute incident.

Of course, it mainly depends on Ma Wensheng and other famous ministers and powerful generals to strategize.

Spring goes, summer comes.Summer goes, autumn comes.

In a blink of an eye, it was the end of August in the second year of Hongzhi.

Northern Zhili Gongyuan.

The courtyard soldiers knocked the gong, and the gate of the Gongyuan opened.Countless students who participated in the Qiuwei Township Examination filed out of the Gongyuan.

It also includes Changfeng.

During the Grand Sutra Banquet in February this year, Emperor Hongzhi appreciated Chang Feng's grand remarks.When Emperor Hongzhi was happy, he rewarded Chang Feng to take part in the Beizhili Township Examination.

Chang Feng is rushing to take the exam by order.

The emperor's confidants in Jinyiwei broke the rules and participated in the imperial examination, and Chang Feng was No.1.But not the last one.

Decades later, a young man named Lu Bing under Chang Feng also took part in the imperial examination.But what I participated in was not the Wenxiang Examination, but the Wuhui Examination and the Wudian Examination, and the high school Jinshi
Naturally, these are things for later.

Chang Feng stretched his waist.There were three township exams, each lasting three days.He has been in the tribute courtyard for nine full days.

His subordinates Qian Ning and Shi Wenyi were wearing flying fish suits and led a dozen or so wrestlers to Changfeng.

When all the students saw this scene, they were astonished: Why did this man provoke Jin Yiwei just after the exam?Stop cheating on the exam, right?He finished his calculations, entered Jinyiwei, and had to shed his skin if he didn't die!
However, they didn't see Jin Yiwei fasten Chang Feng with iron chains and put a big shackle on him.

The group of Jin Yiwei who were like wolves and tigers actually knelt down and kowtowed to him.

This made the students, Monk Zhang Er, puzzled.

Qian Ning kowtowed on his knees and said with a smile, "Congratulations to Mr. Chang for the rural examination high school!"

Chang Feng said with a smile: "Get up, everyone. Don't talk nonsense. The rankings haven't been announced yet. Let the other students listen to it, and think that the rural examination is tricky!"

Shi Wenyi said: "With our Master Chang's talent and learning, it's not a matter of picking people in high school? Maybe we can win a Jieyuan!"

"Next year there will be examinations and palace examinations. Master Chang will pass the examinations all the way. He will be named on the gold list and become the number one scholar! Hey, then we Jin Yiwei will have a big face!"

Qian Ning echoed: "That's right. Let those civil servants see that there are not only murderous reckless men in Jinyiwei, but also a well-educated number one scholar!"

Chang Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You two don't blow it up for me! Let the others listen to the joke. Do you think the provincial examination is so easy? Are the general examination and palace examination so easy?"

"Okay, don't be so fart. If I'm not here for nine days, Wei Li is still at peace? How are the various errands of our Qianhu Office going?"

Qian Ning said: "Master Chang, the brothers who went to copy the Lianghuai inspector Yan Yushi have returned. The total value of the copied property is more than 4 taels!"

"No wonder it is said that the inspector of salt and censor is one of the eight great vacancies in the imperial court! A small official of the seventh rank can earn more than 4 silver in one term for three years!"

The Xunyan Yushi is one of the supervisory censors, and his position is only the seventh rank.However, the actual status and authority are higher than that of Duzhuanyan Yunshi from the third rank.

Chang Feng said: "This should be the biggest bribery case this year. This guy named Xu has corrupted more money than Cai Zhong, the servant of the household department in the last years of Chenghua."

Qian Ning said: "But it's very strange. The emperor only let the Sanfa judge surnamed Xu to be exiled, but not beheaded."

Chang Feng sighed: "The emperor is lenient!"

Emperor Hongzhi was a good emperor who "lived by himself and let others live".As for the convicted officials, they will not be killed if they can.

But then again, Jin Yiwei reported to Emperor Hongzhi as early as the 23rd year of Chenghua for the corruption and bribery of Xu Yushi.

Emperor Hongzhi kept silent.It was not until June of the second year of Hongzhi that a thorough investigation was sent.

God knows whether Emperor Hongzhi regarded Xu Yushi as a piggy bank to search for salt merchants' money for him.

Chang Feng returned to Jinyiwei surrounded by a group of brothers.

Beizhen Fushi Sun Luan coughed for a while: "Cough, cough, Chang Qianhu, the exam is over? How is the exam?"

Chang Feng smiled slightly: "Just do your best to obey the destiny."

Sun Luan's cough became louder and louder.Chang Feng quickly rubbed his chest for him.

Sun Luan said: "My lung disease is getting worse and worse. I have already delivered the memorial to the emperor for the long vacation. From now on, Beisi will depend on you to take care of it."

What Sun Luan handed over was a memorial for leave, not a memorial for old age.

Power is the most alluring thing in the world.Before the day of death, who is willing to hand it over?
Chang Feng said: "The town care envoy can recover from his illness with peace of mind. Paozhe and I will do our best to do our errands well."

Three days later, it is a holiday.

Chang Feng was chatting with his wife and concubine in the yard, coaxing his sister and son to play.

Madam Nine saw that he was absent-minded: "What's wrong?"

Chang Feng said: "Today, when the rankings are released in the township examination, I feel restless! Before entering Jinyiwei, I also had my head stabbed in the ass."

"From February to August, I studied hard for two hours every night to prepare for the exam. I really want to know how my knowledge is."

Chang Feng took a sip of the tea that Liu Xiaoyan handed over, and said again: "I probably won't pass the exam. But I was able to take the provincial exam because of the emperor's extraordinary grace."

"If you don't pass the exam, won't it embarrass the emperor?"

Tangtang said: "Brother works hard all day, why can't he pass the exam?"

Chang Feng said: "Silly boy. There are many people who work harder than my brother! And it is much more difficult to get a person than a Jinshi!"

Mrs. Ninth was a little puzzled: "Isn't Jinshi better than Juren? How can you say that Juren is more difficult than Jinshi?"

Chang Feng talked eloquently: "In the Imperial Examinations of the Ming Dynasty, there was a saying that there were Jin Juren and Silver Jinshi."

"In the first year of Hongxi, the imperial court set a fixed number of candidates for each province. For example, there are [-] candidates for each department in our northern Zhili."

"On the first provincial examination, there are more than 3000 scholars in Beizhili. It's almost one out of thirty."

"The general examination is different. There are more than 4000 applicants for each subject, and 300 people who can take the tribute. If you take the tribute and participate in the palace examination, you can become a Jinshi."

"In other words, getting a Jinshi is one out of twenty."

"It is more difficult to pass the exam than to pass the Jinshi exam. Therefore, there is a saying that Jinjuren is golden and Jinshi is silver."

Nine Furen said: "Oh, that's how it is."

Chang Feng said again: "The more than 3000 scholars who competed with me for the number of candidates are almost all studying for the exam for a long time."

"In the past six months, I have taken time to study every night. It's strange that I can get in."

Liu Xiaoyan said: "I told you earlier, Beizhili Xuezheng is my father's old subordinate."

Chang Feng waved his hands again and again: "If you give me a hundred guts, I don't dare to play tricks on the rural examination. All the civil servants in the court are staring at me!"

"Speaking of which, I don't point to the imperial examination to become an official. Why go through your father's door and get yourself into trouble?"

"It's nothing more than knowing what your own knowledge is."

The family was chatting when suddenly they heard the sound of gongs and drums.

The newspaper from the Xuezheng Yamen in Beizhili arrived at the gate of the mansion.

Chang Feng walked out quickly.

The reporter shouted, "But Master Chang Feng?"

Chang Feng nodded: "It's me."

The newspaper shouted: "Congratulations to Mr. Chang, the No. 90 eight in the Beizhili Township Examination in the second year of Hongzhi Senior High School!"

After finishing speaking, he presented the big red wedding invitation with both hands.

Chang Feng picked up the wedding invitation and looked at it carefully.He couldn't believe it was real!But the great seal of Beizhili Xuezheng was stamped on it, so he couldn't help but believe it.

Chang Feng laughed wildly: "Hey! Good! I won!"

98 is a ranking close to the bottom of the list, three people short of Sun Shan.

But this was enough to make Chang Feng ecstatic!
The newspaper quickly reminded: "Master Chang, take a deep breath and inhale. Be careful and get lost in phlegm."

Chang Feng said with a smile: "Not at all, not at all."

The newspaper held out his hand.

Chang Feng was taken aback: "What are you doing?"

The reporter said: "Master Chang is in high school, he should"

Chang Feng slapped his head: "Cough! Why did you forget this! Xiao Yan, go to the cashier to get 20 taels of silver and give it to the newspaper!"

Inside the Qianqing Palace.

Emperor Hongzhi attached great importance to the selection of talents.After the Beizhili Township Examination, he personally met Xuezheng Zhang Yuhao and checked the list of candidates.

Emperor Hongzhi saw Chang Feng's name at the end of the list.

Emperor Hongzhi was a little surprised: "Chang Feng really won the exam? Zhang Qing, are you not playing for personal gain?"

Zhang Xuezheng kowtowed: "Your Majesty has learned from you. I dare not show favoritism. If you have any doubts, you can get Chang Feng's three examination papers for a review."

Emperor Hongzhi was skeptical.He retrieved Chang Feng's examination papers, and found Li Dongyang, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.

Li Dongyang is a well-known Confucian in the Hanlin Academy.

Emperor Hongzhi tore off the names on the three exam papers of Chang Feng, and then gave them to Li Dongyang: "Li Qing, what do you think of these three exam papers?"

Li Dongyang looked at it carefully, and then cupped his hands: "It's not enough in the classic sense. I definitely don't understand Yuan, and I can't get into Yayuan. But I can set a ranking at the bottom of the list, like eighty or ninety."

No. 1 in the rural examination is called Jieyuan, and the number two to ten is called Yayuan.

With the evaluation of Li Dongyang, an authoritative Confucian, Emperor Hongzhi was sure that Chang Fengzhongju was based on real talents and learning. .

He laughed loudly and said, "Li Qing, do you know whose paper you are holding?"

Li Dongyang cupped his hands: "Please enlighten me, Your Majesty."

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Jinyiwei is always windy!"

Li Dongyang blurted out: "The butcher? How is that possible?"

When Chang Feng broke the Condor Society in February, he personally removed an arm captured by the Condor Society.At that time, there were a group of Beijing soldiers onlookers.This matter has long been spread in the capital.Chang Feng's name of "butcher" spread like wildfire.

Li Dongyang knew he had made a slip of the tongue: "Ah, I didn't mean that. I just wanted to say that I didn't expect that the warriors in Jinyiwei could also win the election."

Hongzhi Emperor Longyan Dayue: "It shows that I have the ability to know and employ people! Chang Feng is indeed a talent!"
