The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 180 A Great Gift ([-]-character chapter)

After the reunion dinner, Chang Feng went to Liu Xiaoyan's bedroom.

The husband and wife haven't seen each other for a year, and they are dating like strangers.That's really wheat on the roof-stimulation (ridge)!
After the matter, Chang Feng was full of spring breeze, humming a little tune, and pulled up his pants proudly.

Liu Xiaoyan said: "In the year since you left Beijing, those two living Kings of Hades in Shouning Hou's mansion have become even more lawless."

Chang Feng sighed: "Those two little bastards can only be controlled by the emperor. But the emperor is reluctant to control them. Sooner or later, there will be a big disaster."

Liu Xiaoyan said: "Empress Zhang is good everywhere. For example, she advocates frugality in the harem and treats the palace people well. The only shortcoming is to protect the calf."

"She took those two younger brothers, holding them in her hands for fear they would break, and holding them in her mouth for fear they would melt."

"Add."

Chang Feng asked: "Add what?"

Liu Xiaoyan said: "In addition, Li Guang, Empress Zhang's favored eunuch, kept instigating the two uncles to commit crimes."

Chang Feng said: "That guy Li Guang can't keep up with Shang Ming. When Shang Ming was in power, half of the money he collected was used to help the elderly and the poor, and build free schools."

"Li Guang is only doing it for selfish gain. Sigh. Thousands of years later, if there are criticisms about Emperor Hongzhi of the Ming Dynasty in the history books, it must be the words 'specially favoring the palace'."

"Anyone who has a relationship with Zhonggong. Regardless of whether they have committed a crime or not, Emperor Hongzhi will turn a blind eye."

"Emperor Hongzhi will do his best to all relatives in the palace, and the grace has reached a sensational level."

"The two brothers of the Zhang family are only 19 years old. One is granted the title of Marquis, and the actual title is given to the governor.

"How many veterans who have fought hundreds of battles have fought for the court all their lives. Even when they die, it is very difficult to get the false title of posthumous governor. Let alone the real title!"

The next morning.

Chang Feng crossed the Jinshui Bridge, came to Fengtian Gate, and lined up to join the military officer class, preparing to participate in the morning court.

He was surprised to find that Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling stood at the head of the military officer squad!
Baiguan seems to have become accustomed to it.

You know, the Taizu stipulated that in the early court of Yumen, the military officer class should be the most senior among the five military commanders.

With Zhang Yanling's qualifications, he should be in fifth place.Not to mention that the second child, Zhang Heling, is not the governor at all, but an acquaintance of the governor.

Start early.

Ma Wensheng first reported the preparations for next year's Beijing inspection.

In the past, Lao Ma was the Minister of the Ministry of War, and his mission was to toss the generals.

Now he is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and his mission is to toss the civil servants.

Emperor Hongzhi said with satisfaction: "Everything is played according to the old man."

Emperor Hongzhi gave Ma Wensheng a lot of face.Call him "Old Mister".

Afterwards, Emperor Hongzhi said: "I have ordered Mou Bin to be the commander of Jinyiwei, and Chang Feng to be Zuo Tongzhi."

"Chang Feng, have you considered the candidates for the Right Tongzhi and the Right and Right Entrepreneurs?"

All the ministers were stunned: the emperor handed over the power to select the three important posts of Jin Yiwei to Chang Feng?Chang Feng is worthy of being the emperor's number one favorite!
Chang Feng replied: "My Majesty. Sun Guishou has been in the guard for 66 years. He is a veteran of the Seven Dynasties. I believe that he should be the Right Tongzhi. Together with the minister, I will assist Commander Mou."

"Qian Ning is smart and capable, and he should be the leftist."

"Wang Miaoxin is young and promising, thoughtful, and proficient in the affairs of the Southern Division. He should be in charge of the right-hand affairs and concurrently the governor of the Southern Division."

"Shi Wenyi's loyalty is commendable. He should take over as the governor of Beizhen."

Chang Feng was giving favors to the above four people in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

As for Fatty Xu, Chang Feng knew that he had the duke title to inherit, so he didn't care about his promotion in Wei Nei.Therefore no recommendation.

Qian Neng, who was standing beside Emperor Hongzhi, sighed in his heart: he is indeed the grandson of the old inner minister!Chang Feng is really righteous!

Shi Wenzhong, the governor of the left army in the military officer class, was also very grateful to Chang Feng: I know my younger brother, who is of average ability but limited.Thanks to Chang Feng's support, today is what it is.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Appropriate! All dear friends, you can know that Chang Feng is really a selfless person who is indifferent to fame and wealth!"

"I ordered him to be the commander yesterday. He refused to accept his resignation and recommended Mu Bin to me!"

"Mu Bin, from now on you have to cooperate with Chang Feng in Jinyiwei."

The last sentence of Emperor Hongzhi directly established Changfeng's supreme status in Jinyiwei.

Mu Bin is the boss, so Chang Feng should be "assisting" Mu Bin.

In Emperor Hongzhi's mouth, it became common practice for Mu Bin to "cooperate".

The emperor and important ministers never talk casually when they speak, and they must have deep meaning.

The old man in the officialdom of the Manchu Dynasty immediately smelled it: It seems that Jin Yiwei will still have the final say in the future.

After the court was over, Chang Feng returned to Jinyiwei, and ordered thousands of robes in the school grounds.

There are several chairs on the school field.Two of them are tied in the center.The rest of the chairs are lined up apart.

Those two chairs naturally belonged to Mu Bin and Chang Feng.

Sun Guishou, Qian Ning, Wang Miaoxin, Shi Wenyi, Fatty Xu and others lined up on both sides.

Chang Feng said in a loud voice: "Everyone listened. From now on, Commander Mou will be in charge of Jinyiwei. You must obey Commander Mou's words!"

"Jin Yiwei must be loyal to the emperor and be a dagger that punishes rape and eradicates evil. Escort for the prosperity of Hongzhi!"

All the robes shouted in unison: "Keep in mind Master Chang's teaching!"

Qian Ning took the lead and shouted: "I, Zuo Qian, have my words first. From now on, if anyone in the guard dares to disobey Master Chang's order, I, Qian Ning, will be the first to forgive!"

Shi Wenyi showed his loyalty not to be outdone: "Who in the Fusi of Beizhen dares to disobey Lord Chang. I will give him the bamboo punishment!"

Qian Ning shouted: "Master Chang is the god of Jinyiwei! Master Chang's words are the rules of Jinyiwei!"

The new pattern of Jinyiwei was formally established.Chang Feng reached the pinnacle of his official career.It took him less than ten years from the small general banner to become the actual big shopkeeper of Jinyiwei.

At the same time, Kunning Palace Guangting.

15-year-old Chang Tian is leading the four-year-old prince Zhu Houzhao and eight-year-old nephew Chang Ponu to fly a kite.

Grandpa Taizu once made a rule that kites are not allowed to fly in the palace.Prevent the princes from being so ambitious.

However, no one in the palace today dares to stop the head of Wanping County from doing anything against the rules.

Who is Princess Wanping?That is the emperor's righteous sister.The queen and the two uncles doted on her very much.Even His Royal Highness is her little follower!

The sun is warm in winter, and the wind is not too strong.But enough to send the kite high in the sky.

The kite flying with the wind is very similar to Changfeng's ten-year great luck: the good wind sends me to Qingyun by force.

Zhu Houzhao and Chang Ponu followed Chang Tian and ran wildly, laughing and making noise.

Liu Jin stood far away.Waiting for the small stove to warm your hands.

Liu Jin smiled secretly: Li Guang and I are the only ones in Kunning Palace now.

Li Guang is really stupid, he only wants to curry favor with Queen Zhang and the two uncles.He didn't want to understand, serving the prince well is the way to gain power in the future!

Chang Tian, ​​Zhu Houzhao and Chang Ponu were tired from running.

She sat down on the marble steps of the courtyard.Zhu Houzhao and Chang Ponu leaned on Chang Tian's body with their heads tilted, staring at the kite in the sky.

Zhu Houzhao asked in a childish voice, "Little Aunt Huang, what's behind the clouds!"

Chang Tian casually said, "It's too much to talk about."

Chang Ponu licked his lips: "Your Highness, listen to my aunt's nonsense! There is clearly a donkey rolling behind the clouds."

Liu Jin served the young three with all her heart.

He vaguely heard this, and ran towards the fruit room of Kunning Palace like the wind.

After entering the fruit room, he panted and asked the servant girl, "Is there Suo Lemi and Donkey Rolling? Quickly put them in the food box! Put a few plates of other snacks of various colors. Put them in the food box."

The maid answered: "Yes. Eunuch Liu, wait a moment."

Liu Jin took the food box and rushed to Zhu Houzhao and others at a speed of [-] meters.

He opened the food box and said with a smile: "Your Highness, Princess Chang, young master Chang. This old slave picked the things behind the clouds for you!"

After speaking, he opened the food box, took out a lot of honey and handed it to Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao was very happy to take over Da Suo Li Mi: "Aha! Big Companion is really capable!"

Coaxing children is sometimes the political investment with the greatest return.Before there was Wang Zhen, now there is Liu Jin, and later there is Feng Bao.

Chang Ponu babbled and rolled while eating the donkey: "Thank you, Eunuch Liu."

Chang Tian was indifferent to the assortment of snacks in the food box.

Liu Jin asked: "The princess has no appetite?"

Chang Tian said: "I'm almost hungry. I don't dare to eat because I'm afraid of getting fat. Some people don't want me anymore."

Liu Jin smiled and said, "What is the princess talking about. Huang Xiucai has deep affection for you. Even if you are as fat as Xu Shizi, he will still be devoted to you."

At this moment, Li Guang walked over aggressively.

Li Guangguang said angrily: "Liu Jin, how do you serve His Highness? You made His Highness eat honey in front of the Guangting in the winter? What if you get sick from the wind?"

Liu Jin was promoted all the way, thanks to the Chang family.

Li Guang has always looked down on Liu Jin: a person who wiped the prince's ass is also worthy of being an internal official, supervisor, and deputy steward of Kunning Palace?
In addition, Li Guang likes to hold grudges.Last year Changfeng went to Shandong to control the floods, and when he came up, he killed his god-grandson Huang Zhongren.This made Li Guangji hate Chang Feng.

He hated the house and the house, so he naturally regarded Liu Jin, who was dependent on the Chang family to make a fortune, as an enemy.

On weekdays, Li Guang always made things difficult for Liu Jin as his boss.

Liu Jin hurriedly said: "This subordinate should die!"

Liu Jin is a very tolerant person.

Li Guangda scolded: "The empress entrusted you with the responsibility of taking care of the crown prince. But you are negligent! Really"

Chang Tian spoke for Liu Jin: "Eunuch Li, don't you think the prince is a weak and delicate little girl?"

"It's just eating too much honey. How can you get sick? And ah! Can you stop being so loud in front of the prince!"

"Liu Jin belongs to the prince. If you want to teach me a lesson, you have to teach me the prince and the queen. It's not your turn!"

Chang Tian is simply a pepper.Li Guang was speechless.

Li Guang's resentment towards the Chang family deepened, and he cursed inwardly: Chang Tian, ​​the emperor rewarded you with the title of princess, do you really treat yourself like a golden branch and jade leaf?Don't forget that your surname is Chang and not Zhu!

At night, Changfu.

Qian Neng, Qian Ning and his son came to the house to thank Chang Feng.

Qian Neng said with a smile: "My son's success today is all due to your promotion. Today you actually recommended him to be Jinyi Zuoqin. I don't even know what to say!"

Chang Feng said with a smile: "Eunuch Qian, we are one family, why do we need to talk about two different languages? Qian Ning and I are like half-brothers."

"He has done so many things for me over the years, killed so many people, and received so much scolding. I should be rewarded for recommending him!"

Qian Ning is Chang Feng's stand-in, and both sides have tacit understanding.

In order to show his closeness to the Qian family and his son, Chang Feng directly pierced the window paper.

Qian Neng said with a smile: "That being said, I still have to thank you. I know you are not greedy for money, and I can't tarnish your name."

"Ning'er and I thought hard before we came up with a suitable thank you gift."

Chang Feng asked, "Oh? What kind of thank you gift?"

Qian Neng carefully pulled out an envelope from his sleeve.I saw the big book on the envelope, "Daming Guozijian Supervisor's Proof".

The certificate of supervision is the admission notice of Guozijian.Corresponds to the graduation certificate "supervision".

Qian Ning said: "I heard that your prospective brother-in-law Huang Yuan is preparing for the Beizhili Township Examination next year at Hongde Academy."

"Hongde Academy is not well-known in the capital. How can it compare to Guozijian?"

"The group of old pedants who are in charge of the township examination questions often go to the Imperial College to give lectures. There is a saying that if you are close to the water, you will get the moon first!"

Chang Feng was surprised: "Last year, the emperor stopped accepting millet and being imprisoned. The prison has become very difficult to obtain. How did you get it?"

Qian Neng said with a smile: "I have my own way. Don't worry, it is reasonable for the future princess Yi Bin to study in the Imperial College. Even those noisy gossip officers can't find fault."

Qian Neng is full of sincerity, and Chang Feng can't refute his face.

Chang Feng said with a smile: "Then I will replace Huang Yuan, thank Eunuch Qian for his kindness!"

Qian Ning poured Chang Feng a cup of tea: "Master Chang, I don't think Commander Mou has any intention of fighting for power with you."

"Brother Wei Li has privately called you 'Big Treasurer' from today on."

Chang Feng took a sip of tea: "Mu Bin is a loyal man. You have real power now, but you must not despise him in the future."

Qian Ning nodded: "I will respect who Master Chang told me to respect. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west."

Qian Neng interjected: "Ning'er, that's right! People, don't forget your roots. Your roots are in Chang Tongzhi!"

"In the future, if you dare to cast another high branch, you will become water without a source, and a tree without roots!"

Qian Ning nodded frequently: "The foster father taught me that."

Qian Neng asked Chang Feng again: "When will the princess and Huang Yuan get married? I will prepare a generous gift then."

Chang Feng replied: "It will be in the summer two years later. Next year will be the Beizhili Township Examination, and the year after that will be the General Examination."

"I'm thinking, if Huang Yuan can be nominated for the Guibang, the Xingbang will be on the Xingbang, and he will go straight to the Gold List. Marry Tangtang as a Jinshi. The Chang family has face, and Huang Yuan himself has face."

"If he has poor academic luck and fails to enter the gold list, let them get married."

Qian Neng said with a smile: "Very good. The brother-in-law you personally picked, you can't go wrong!"

Chang Feng chatted with Qian Neng and his son for a while.Qian Neng and his son completely regarded Chang Feng as their own.

As soon as the two left, brothers Shi Wenzhong and Shi Wenyi came again.

Chang Feng hurriedly cupped his hands to Shi Wenzhong: "Shi Dudu!"

Shi Wenzhong smiled and said: "Master Chang, now that you are so powerful, I should salute you."

Chang Feng hurriedly said: "Dudu Shi's words can kill me. Compared with a veteran with outstanding achievements like you, I am just a junior who is ineffective."

"It is necessary to follow the military system established by the great grandfather. I, the commander and acquaintance, are still your subordinates!"

Shi Wenzhong said with a smile: "That was the rule of that year."

The three sat down.

Shi Wenzhong said: "I understand my younger brother. With his little ability, he may not be able to be a thousand households. He can be promoted to Beizhen Fushi, all thanks to your recommendation in front of the emperor."

"I'm Qiu Ba, a straight man. In a word, from now on, the affairs of the Chang family will be the affairs of my Shi family."

Shi Wenyi said: "From now on, you will treat me as your dog! Do whatever you want!"

Chang Feng hurriedly said: "We are all brothers, don't say that. When I was the general banner, you were my captain."

When mentioning the past, Shi Wenyi was so moved that he almost burst into tears: "In the autumn of 22nd Chenghua, if you hadn't excused me, I'm afraid I would have been dismissed and investigated."

Shi Wenzhong took out a bank note from his sleeve, the denomination was not large, only 500 taels.

Shi Wenzhong said: "This 500 taels of silver is my thank you gift. Don't think it's too little. It's clean money. I saved it from beheading Tatars in Datong."

"If you don't accept it, you'll just look down on me, this stinking mound!"

Speaking of this, Chang Feng had no choice but to accept the bank note: "Then I will thank Governor Shi!"

The next day, Chang Feng came to Jinyiwei.

A horse is tied to the horse tethering stone at the gate of Jinyiwei.Look at the saddle is the shape of the frontier army.

Chang Feng was a little surprised, and asked the gatekeeper Baihu: "Are the frontier soldiers coming from Weili?"

Baihu replied: "Back to Master Chang, there is a commander of the Shanxi frontier army. It seems that Shanxi has started a frontier quarrel. He came to exchange information with Nanzhen Fusi."

Fifteen days ago, a small group of cavalry led by the little prince invaded Datong.Liu Ning, the general soldier, met the enemy, beheaded 40 people and captured 50 people.

Liu Zongbing was afraid that the Tatars would attack on a larger scale, so he specially sent a young general named Jiang Bin to exchange information with Nanzhen Fusi.

There is no small matter.

Chang Feng met the young general named Jiang Bin in the duty room.Qian Ning, Wang Miaoxin and others are also checking the house.

Jiang Bin strode into the value room.

Chang Feng was very surprised when he saw him: what a suave and handsome man!Just looking at his appearance, he doesn't look like a young general of the frontier army, but rather looks like a face from the Longyang Pavilion in Beicheng.

Jiang Bin saluted Chang Feng.

Chang Feng asked: "Has the military situation been handed over clearly?"

Jiang Bin replied: "The handover is clear. Nansi has no information on the movement of Tatars who are about to invade on a large scale. The small group of cavalry who wanted to invade Datong just hit by mistake."

Chang Feng nodded: "That's good. By the way, what is your background?"

Looking at Jiang Bin's handsome appearance, Chang Feng really didn't look like he was from a frontier military family.

Jiang Bin replied: "The subordinate is the commander of the hereditary Weizhou Guard. He is actually the commander of the Datong Guard."

Chang Feng was surprised: "Actually awarded the rank? Seeing that you are not too young, you have spent a lot of money?"

Jiang Bin was furious when he heard this!He cupped his hands and said solemnly: "I have heard for a long time that Mr. Chang is smart and capable, and won the new appointment of the emperor. I didn't expect you to judge people by their appearance!"

Qian Ning was furious: "Have you got the guts to eat a bear's heart? How dare you talk to Master Chang like that!"

However, Chang Feng waved his hand and interrupted Qian Ning: "Let people speak up."

Jiang Bin cupped his hands: "This subordinate first arrived at Datong five years ago, and he was only granted the title of Deputy Qianhu. It was because of his military exploits and the number of captives that he was promoted to command."

Chang Feng admired: "It's true that heroes have been born since ancient times! I was abrupt. I shouldn't judge people by their appearance."

Jiang Bin is a man who can be tough when he should be, and soft when he should be soft. He is very good at talking.He fell in love with Chang Feng's flattery: "I heard that when Master Chang was 20 years old, he participated in the preservation of the reserve. He made a great contribution to the dragon."

"You are the real hero born boy!"

Qian Ning didn't have a good impression of Jiang Bin: "What are you, worthy of being compared with Master Chang?"

This is the first meeting between Jiang Bin and Qian Ning.The first bad impression turned them into incompatible enemies more than ten years later.

Chang Feng asked Jiang Bin: "You haven't had breakfast yet, have you?"

Jiang Bin smiled wryly: "The military situation is urgent. I drove all night. I didn't have time to eat breakfast."

Chang Feng told Shi Wenyi: "You take Jiang Qian to have breakfast in advance."

Shi Wenyi is good at serving people and socializing.Today's Pao Ze of Jin Yiwei calls Chang Feng "big shopkeeper" and Qian Ning "second shopkeeper".Call Shi Wenyi "big guy".
