The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 278 I am willing to support your daughter as my queen, why not let her recognize me as her godfather first?
As soon as Chang Feng revealed his identity, Xia Ru became even more afraid.

Who in the Gyeonggi region has not heard of the reputation of the butcher Jin Yiweichang?

Civil servants said that Chang Butcher killed people without batting an eyelid, spreading rumors from one person to ten and then to a hundred, spreading rumors among others.When it spread to the people, Chang Feng was said to be a bloody demon who ate fresh human flesh every day.

Xia Ru was so frightened that he trembled all over and almost urinated.He winced and said, "Chang, Commander Chang, spare my life."

Chang Feng was confused: "Why spare my life? I'm here to catch up with you!"

Xia Ru was stunned and said, "Don't be ridiculous, Governor Chang. You are a big shot in the court, and you are strangers to ordinary people. How can we talk about old times?"

Chang Feng deceived Xia Ru: "Brother Xia, although we don't know each other, our ancestors are serious friends!"

"Don't be afraid, please sit down. Come on, let's put the wine on the table!"

Changfeng comes to Xia's house and prepares his own wine and food.A general flagman held a food box in his hand, which was full of fine wine and delicacies.

There is a stone table in the Xia family's yard.The men placed the food and wine on the stone table.

Chang Feng said: "Brother Xia, let's chat while eating."

Xia Ru couldn't handle this.Chang Butcher, a big shot in the imperial court, drinking and talking with me, a small landowner?Still talking about a man?

Chang Feng poured a glass of wine for Xia Ru himself: "Is this the fifth generation ancestor of your family, Mr. Xia Yanguangxia? In the early days of the Hongwu Dynasty, he served as the prefect of Suzhou and participated in the politics of Fujian?"

Xia Ru nodded: "Yes."

Chang Feng clapped his hands: "As expected! My fifth generation ancestor Chang Ge served as a Qianhu of Yiluan Si in the early Hongwu Dynasty. He had a life-long friendship with his ancestor Xia Yanguang. We are close brothers."

Chang Feng is talking nonsense.

His ancestor Chang Ge did know Xia Yanguang, the ancestor of Xia Confucianism.But it's not a "life-saving" friendship, but a "life-threatening" friendship.

During the period of King Wu's Mansion, the Archguard Division was established to handle secret errands for King Wu Zhu Yuanzhang.After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was changed to Yiluan Division, and then to Duwei's Mansion, Qinjun Duwei's Mansion, and Jinyiwei.

In a word, Yiluansi is the predecessor of Jinyiwei.

After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there were two factions in the court.One faction is the Huaixi Party composed of old brothers of Lord Hongwu.One faction is the East Zhejiang Party headed by Liu Bowen and Song Lian.

The Huaixi Party is full of arrogant soldiers and powerful generals.Most of the Zhejiang East Party members were literati from Jiangnan aristocratic families.

At first, Taizu used the Eastern Zhejiang Party to check and balance the Huaixi Party.

Later, Grandpa Taizu discovered that those dog literati from the East Zhejiang Party were treating him as an emperor like a monkey.

This group of Jiangnan literati spent their days admonishing Taizu that "the people are the most important, the country is second, and the king is the least important."

Mencius, who said this, was from the Warring States Period of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

During the Zhou Dynasty, people were divided into two categories, one was the countrymen and the other was the barbarians.

People from the country live in the city walls and have status, land and literacy.To put it bluntly, the Chinese are the gentry class in the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties.

Savages live in the countryside, have no status, no land, and are illiterate.To put it bluntly, they are the poor people in the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties.

In Mencius' time, the people of the country were the people, and the barbarians were not the people. The essence of "the people are the most valuable" is actually "the gentry is the most important".

The East Zhejiang Party has been protecting the interests of the gentry all day long under the banner of "the people are the most important, the country is second, and the king is the least important".

They regarded the great grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang, who was illiterate when he was young but was fluent in writing in his middle age, as the eldest and roughest emperor.In the memorial, you play word games and hide your secrets; when you execute the decree, you obey the law and violate it secretly.
How can Grandpa Taizu, who pretends to be a poor man in his heart, endure it?
Don’t you always take Mencius’ words as a reason to help the gentry exploit the people?Then I will issue an order to move the Mencius tablet out of the Confucius Temple!

Later, Taizu drove Liu Bowen, the leader of the Zhedong Party, home, and used the Yiluan Division to vigorously investigate the illegal affairs of Zhedong Party officials.

Xia Yanguang had made the same mistake as Chang Singer back then.He was captured by Chang Ge and sent to Yiluan Division. He was beaten all the time and almost died.

Later, the Xia family spent a lot of money to clear up Hu Weiyong, and Xia Yanguang was released from Yiluan Division.

This past incident turned out to be a "life-long friendship" when it came to Chang Feng's mouth.

Chang Feng said: "Chang Feng and Brother Shi live together in Shuntian, and they have always been close to each other."

Xia Ru hurriedly said: "Ah, the common people have admired Governor Chang for a long time. It's just that there is a disparity in status, and there is no chance to meet him."

Chang Feng looked around and looked at the Xia family's courtyard: "Brother Shi is indeed poor."

Then Chang Feng winked at a strongman.Lux placed the tray covered with red cloth on the stone table.

Chang Feng opened the red cloth and found two gold ingots in the tray.

Chang Feng said with a smile: "It is indeed a fate to find an ancestor's family friend. I have no respect for you, so I would like to give you a hundred taels of gold, and I will keep it for you. This luxurious residence in Daxing County is really not suitable for living. In the future, our two families will interact across the street. The city wall is really inconvenient."

"I have an old house in Lvdiaozi Hutong, Nancheng. It has two rooms, and although it is not spacious, it is still clean. I gave it to Brother Shi. If Brother Shi moves there, it will be more convenient for me to catch up with Brother Shi."

Xia Ru thought: My heaven!This is really smoke coming out of the ancestral graves, no, the ancestral graves were struck by lightning!The famous person in front of the emperor actually started to make friends with me!Will the Xia family become more prosperous in the future?

However, Xia Ru was still greedy: "It's our first time meeting, how can I want my brother's gold and mansion?"

Chang Feng became anxious: "You are good to me, just like your half-brothers! If you want to shirk it, you are acting outsiders!"

Changfeng's kindness is hard to resist, so Xia Ru has no choice but to be disrespectful.

By chance, Xia Ru's daughter Xia Dongyue came out of the boudoir of the wing to wash her face.Seeing outsiders, Xia Dongyue ducked back to her room.

Chang Feng glanced towards the wing: "Hey, Brother Shi, you have a daughter!"

Xia Ru, a veteran, is really shameless in order to climb up to the powerful.

He actually said: "Captain Chang, my little girl is fifteen years old. Although she cannot be called a fish and a goose, she can be called Zhou Zheng. I think her age is just right for you. I don't agree with you. I want to be a concubine for you? It’s okay to be a foreigner without status!”

Chang Feng cursed in his heart: A 15-year-old girl is of the same age as a 40-year-old man?Lao Xia, thank you for being able to speak out.You are really a scumbag.But that's okay, I'm afraid you don't want to follow the dragon and the phoenix!

Chang Feng waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no. We are half-brothers. Your father is my father, your mother is my mother, your daughter is my daughter, and your wife is...your wife."

"How can any father in this world marry his daughter as a concubine? Doesn't that break the moral code?"

Xia Ru said: "Does Governor Chang dislike my daughter for being a country girl?"

Chang Feng said: "What are you talking about? My good niece looks so charming, with orchid texture, picturesque eyebrows, clear eyes, bright teeth, and graceful grace. She is just like a hibiscus out of water." (Note: Look, The author not only knows how to be both eccentric and ignorant, but also has this sentence that is so beautiful that it bubbles up)
"She is already fifteen. As an uncle, I have to find a good family for her!"

Xia Ru was overjoyed: Who is Governor Chang?The famous man beside the emperor!The people he associates with are all dignitaries.If he is willing to be a matchmaker, I can be the father-in-law of a high official!

Xia Ru's situation has become smaller.

Chang Feng clapped his hands.A group of warriors around him moved three feet away.

Chang Feng lowered his voice: "Brother, the Emperor is in the process of selecting. In my opinion, why not let my niece participate in the selection? I have my own way to ensure that she at least participates in the selection."

"If she enters the audition, she can at least be the emperor's Zhaoyi or Jieyu. If she is lucky enough to enter the third election, she will become the imperial concubine, and she may even become the queen!"

Xia Ru was stunned: "Captain Chang said that my daughter might become the queen. And I will become the head of the Ming Dynasty?"

Chang Feng nodded.Although Xia Ru wanted to climb high, he still maintained a trace of reason: "I'm afraid this will be difficult, right?"

Chang Feng smiled and said: "It's not difficult at all! Guess what? It's Quanzi who is in charge of post-election matters!"

Xia Ru knelt down in front of Chang Feng: "Captain Chang's kindness to the Xia family is like the endless flow of a surging river, or like the Yellow River overflowing once and for all."

"Captain Chang is simply the reborn parent of the common people!"

Chang Feng hurriedly helped Xia Ru up: "Goodbye. We are in the best of things, so why should we be so arrogant? I have already said that your daughter is my daughter. Why not let my niece recognize me as her adoptive father? Let's kiss each other and interrupt her. The bones are connected to the tendons!”

Xia Ru said: "Captain Chang really praised my daughter. I will go and prepare a gift for the marriage. Then I will find relatives from all over the country to bear witness."

Xia Rudog can't keep two ounces of oil in his stomach.The purpose of asking relatives to testify is to feel proud in front of relatives: Look!My daughter recognized the emperor's celebrity as her adoptive father.My family has become prosperous since then!

Chang Feng said, "The adoption of her as an adopted daughter must not be made public. The relationship between our adopted father and daughter is known to heaven and earth. You know it, I know it, and our daughter knows it."

"If word spreads, some people will say that I engaged in favoritism and cheated to get my goddaughter into the selection of the queen. My head can be saved, because I have a death certificate given by the late emperor. I'm afraid the Xia family will kill the nine clans!"

When Xia Ru heard the words "Kill the Nine Tribes", he was so frightened that he trembled all over.

However, when he thought that he might become a relative of the emperor, he had the courage to swallow the sky.

Xia Ru said: "I understand. I will keep the secret from my daughter. I will never make it public."

Chang Feng clapped his hands: "Oh, good! Now I have a good daughter! Do you have any incense candles at home?"

Xia Ru replied: "Yes, yes."

Chang Feng said: "The ceremony of worshiping my godmother should be simple. Just burn incense and candles to worship the heaven and ask her to serve me a bowl of tea."

Then Chang Feng loudly ordered all his subordinates: "Get out of the hospital."

All the robes accepted the order and exited the courtyard.

A moment later, the simple ceremony of recognizing the bride was over.The shy girl Xia Dongyue became Chang Feng's adopted daughter.

Chang Feng smiled and said: "Good girl. I didn't bring you a meeting gift this time. Your godmother and I only have one child, and I have always dreamed of having a daughter as smart as you."

"Tomorrow I will ask your godmother to come and give you some jewelry as a meeting gift. You go back to the boudoir first. I have something to say to your father."

Xia Dongyue obediently left the yard and returned to the boudoir.

Chang Feng said: "Tomorrow, I will ask my concubine to come to Guibao Mansion, give her some fine clothes, headgear and jewelry, and teach her some court etiquette."

"I'll send someone to help you move in a few days. Move to Lvdiaozi Alley in Nancheng."

Xia Ru expressed his gratitude again.

The next day, all the female relatives of the Chang family went out!Liu Xiaoyan left the city with a whole carriage full of gifts for her adopted daughter.Madam Ninth, Chang Ponu's wife Li Ping'er, and You Jingwu's wife Yan Jiao also came.

How had Xiaojiabiyu Xia Dongyue, who grew up in the countryside, ever seen such a battle?

However, her godmother, younger sister-in-law and two sisters-in-law felt like old friends at first sight and were extremely cordial to her.In addition, they brought Xia Dongyue a pile of Suzhou and Hangzhou silks, gold and silver jewelry, rouge and gouache.Xia Dongyue truly regarded them as relatives that day.

Changfu.

Chang Feng and Chang Ponu sat across from each other and drank tea.

Chang Feng laughed and said: "There are three women in one drama, let alone four in our family? All four women have gone to Daxing County, and the family is really deserted."

Chang Ponu said: "Dad, so far, we have selected a total of 67 women. Three of them are given special treatment and are recognized as adopted daughters by you. Do you think any of them can be honored as the queen?"

Chang Feng did not recognize his adopted daughter casually.

He first ordered Jin Yiwei to go to the countryside and ask around about which fellow villager had a beautiful daughter.

Then he ordered someone to squat and take a peek and draw a small picture.

In the end, 67 women were selected.They also selected the best of the best based on their portraits and selected three people.Chang Feng visited them personally and recognized these three people as adopted daughters.

Chang Feng said: "In my opinion, Xia Dongyue is most likely to stand out. Your mother said that the emperor likes women with melon-shaped faces but short height."

It is no exaggeration to say that Emperor Zhengde was raised by Liu Xiaoyan.

After Emperor Zhengde turned 13, he became interested in women.I always look twice at the short-faced and short maids in Kunning Palace.

All this was seen by Liu Xiaoyan.

Chang Ponu said: "We can control the previous five levels of audition, primary selection, secondary selection, selection, and palace selection. The sixth level of viewing is not easy to say. The emperor has to select it himself."

"How can we ensure that our people will be selected by the emperor to enter the seventh level and choose three?"

Chang Feng smiled slyly: "Test you, what are the two things the emperor likes to do the most?"

Chang Ponu blurted out: "What kind of test question is this? The child grew up with the emperor. How can we not know this? The emperor is good at riding and shooting and hunting, and secondly, he is good at patrolling incognito."

Chang Feng smiled and said: "The Emperor likes to go on patrol incognito. This is the opportunity!"

"All men in the world are the same, they are mean. If something is delivered to your mouth, it doesn't taste good. You have to take it yourself."

"We work hard to select beautiful women and send them to the palace. We go through this level and that level. It's like bringing women to the emperor's mouth. The emperor will not pay special attention to any woman."

"Suppose the emperor is on patrol in disguise and encounters a gangster who plots against the beautiful girl Xia Dongyue. The emperor comes to the rescue, a hero saves the beauty."

Chang Ponu slapped his head: "High, really high, higher than Gaojiazhuang! When it comes to heresy, you are really the best."

Chang Feng frowned: "Why do you sound like you are scolding me?"

Chang Ponu smiled and said: "Hey, how can I do that? How dare I scold my own father? I will be struck by lightning from heaven."

Chang Feng said: "The dragon will raise its head on the second day of the second month soon. Folks will hold a 'dragon head-raising' ceremony and temple fairs, which are very lively. When you enter the palace these days, you will persuade the emperor to go out incognito on the second day of the second month of the month to join in the folk customs." Lively. The emperor must be happy to agree."

Chang Ponu said: "It's a piece of cake. When I heard about going on patrol incognito, the emperor's eyes became rounder than anyone else's."

Chang Feng said again: "I asked Basha to find some gangsters. He is from Xiangxi Lane and is very familiar with the gangsters in the capital. Then he will cooperate with us in a play to tease Xia Dongyue."

Chang Ponu said: "After the matter is completed, these ruffians will be silenced?"

Chang Feng said: "Don't worry about dirty things, don't ask questions. Dad doesn't want any dirty blood on your body. Dad has killed countless people in his life, and the dirty blood can't be washed away. This is the worst time."

Chang Ponu asked again: "What about the women recommended by Eunuch Liu?"

Chang Feng said: "We will select 100 people, and 55 places will be given to Liu Jin's people. Anyway, we have a hero's plan to save the beauty, and Xia Dongyue will become the queen in all likelihood. Let Liu Jin recommend a few more concubines, Yi, Jieba.”

Chang Ponu agreed: "Yes. On the surface, I still want to give Eunuch Liu face."

The father and son have made a good deal and everything is ready until February [-]nd.
