The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Emperors of the past dynasties went to war in person. Regardless of whether the battle was won or not, they had to show off with sufficient style.

When marching, it is necessary to have a clear guard of honor, a strict military formation, and a mighty and majestic sky. It is also necessary for the people on both sides of the road to eat pots of pulp and welcome the king.

After Emperor Zhengde's counter-rebellion troops left the capital, it was such a grand scene.

Emperor Zhengde rode in a chariot imitating the Spring and Autumn Period. The chariot was specially made by Gu Dayong from the Ministry of Industry. The main focus is a retro.

On both sides of the chariot, generals rode on horseback. The most eye-catching among them is naturally the Chang family.

Chang Feng, the Minister of Rongzheng during the Southern Expedition, served as the top horse to clear the way for Emperor Zhengde's chariot.

The title of Minister of Rongzheng was a special official position during the Yongle period and was abolished during the Xuande period.

The so-called Rong Zheng Shangshu means that the Shangshu, the Minister, or the Censor of the capital will assist in managing the Rong Zheng of the Jing camp and be in charge of the training affairs of the Jing camp.

If the Minister of War is equivalent to the modern Minister of Defense, then the Minister of Rongzheng is equivalent to the modern Chief of General Staff.

Emperor Zhengde restored the official position of Minister of Military Affairs and appointed Chang Feng, a distinguished military attache, to take the position. It was obvious that he wanted to further reduce the power of the Minister of Civil Affairs of the Ministry of War.

Riding forward on the left side of Chang Feng is You Jingwu, the vanguard general of the southern expedition against the thieves. The forward general ranks second among the five generals. During this anti-rebellion campaign, You Jingwu's status was second only to that of Emperor Zhengde, who was personally appointed general.

Even the veteran left general Zhang Yong, the first favorite right general Jiang Bin, and the second favorite rear general Qian Ning were all ranked behind You Jingwu. Emperor Zhengde elevated You Jingwu's status to such an extent, obviously for Chang Feng's sake.

Riding forward on the right side of Chang Feng is his eldest son, Chang Ponu, the right minister of Hubu and the chief grain officer of the Southern Expedition.

Chang Ponu had the final say on the food supply and military pay arrangements for the 150,000-strong army. Not only that, Emperor Zhengde also issued a special edict. When it comes to money and food matters, Changpo Nu has the right to drive governors, governors, envoys and lower local officials from various places along the way.

No matter what kind of official you are, you must listen to me, Chang Ponu. His power is evident.

These three powerful men and ministers of the Chang family paved the way for Emperor Zhengde's retro chariot. But the one closest to Emperor Zhengde was Chang Qingyun, a young man from the Chang family.

Chang Qingyun, as the experience officer who accompanied the bandits in the southern expedition, sat on Emperor Zhengde's chariot. Side by side with Emperor Zhengde.

On the chariot, Emperor Zhengde was in a good mood and actually joked with Chang Qingyun: "The Xu family girl will give birth in two months, right? The baby will be you, right?"

Chang Qingyun has long been accustomed to Emperor Zhengde making jokes about emperors not being kings and ministers not being ministers. Chang Qingyun actually said: "If it doesn't belong to me, could it be that it belongs to you, the emperor? According to the seniority of Queen Renxiao Xu's branch, you still have to call Ling'er imperial aunt!"

Emperor Zhengde laughed heartily: "Haha, I actually forgot about this relationship with the Xu family. From now on, I will call you my uncle in private. Your grandfather is my uncle, and you are also the uncle. Wait a minute While driving, you should discuss your seniority with your grandfather and see if you should be brothers-in-law."

Chang Qingyun said: "Your Majesty, please stop talking nonsense. I am not brave enough to make such a trivial joke with my grandfather."

Suddenly, Emperor Zhengde's expression changed and he let out a roar: "Ah! Something bad is happening!"

As soon as these words came out, all the generals accompanying him were stunned when they left!
Chang Feng waved his hand: "The army stops!"

Then he rode up to Emperor Zhengde's chariot, raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, what happened?"

Emperor Zhengde was so worried that he sweated on his forehead: "The hosta given to me by Concubine Liu is missing!"

Concubine Liu, the most beloved concubine of Emperor Zhengde. Her original name was Liu Liangnu, and she was once known as the first mother-in-law in Datong. She was the wife of Yang Teng, a musician in the Jin Palace in Taiyuan.

Emperor Zhengde liked other people's wives the most.

After the great victory in Yingzhou, Emperor Zhengde visited Datong and stayed in the Jin Palace. The King of Jin ordered musicians to play music for Emperor Zhengde to help him enjoy his drinking. After drinking half the wine, Emperor Zhengde went to the toilet, and by chance he bumped into Liu Liangnu.

This Liu Liangnv is absolutely beautiful and mature, and she is so beautiful that she is beautiful. When Emperor Zhengde saw her, he had to hold back his urine.

There is a saying that wine is the matchmaker of sex. Emperor Zhengde shouted: "I want to sleep in peace! Is there a beautiful woman here? Come to bed with me!" Jiang Bin was waiting beside Emperor Zhengde at that time. Jiang Bin knew Emperor Zhengde very well. It could be said that as soon as Emperor Zhengde poked his butt, Jiang Bin knew whether he was going to poop or fart. He even knows whether his poop smells like orange or apricot.

Jiang Bin immediately "invited" Liu Liangnv to Emperor Zhengde's palace.

Liu Liang's daughter was originally from Datong, and she had undergone rigorous "urn sitting" training since she was a child. Datong's mother-in-law wants to marry well when she gets older. But she can only marry a lowly man. And his husband, as a musician, is of low status.

Although she has been practicing for many years, Aunt Datong's various skills have already formed muscle memory.

Jiang Bin was waiting outside the bedroom. I heard Emperor Zhengde shouting two words in the bedroom.

One sentence is "Ah, good sister, beautiful sister, you are really good at it. I can use it very much."

One sentence is: "No, I have to pee!"

In short, Liu Liangnu got on the dragon bed, and from then on the wild pheasant turned into a phoenix.

Emperor Zhengde was still particular about his conduct. He did not embarrass Liu Liangnu's first husband Yang Teng. Instead, Yang Teng was given the official position of a seventh-grade doctor from Taichang Temple. He also gave Yang Teng four young girls of twenty-eight years as concubines, and gave him five thousand taels of silver to settle in the capital.

Yang Teng was originally a humble musician. To be a seventh-grade civil servant is to spit fire from the ancestral grave. Besides, four 16-year-old girls plus 5,000 taels of silver were exchanged for a 30-year-old woman. In any case, Yang Teng took advantage of this business.

Yang Teng was not stupid and immediately wrote a letter of divorce to divorce Liu Liangnu.

Emperor Zhengde, who always acted casually, actually brought Liu Liangnu into the palace and made her a noble concubine.

On August 22, Emperor Zhengde led his army to the expedition. I originally wanted to take Liu Liangnv with me. But according to the military saying, it is bad luck to bring a female family member with you when you leave the army. When Baozong defeated Tumubao, it is said that it was because Wang Zhen brought hundreds of beauties with him to please him.

Emperor Zhengde had no choice but to bid farewell to his beloved concubine for a while. Liu Liangnv gave her a jade hairpin, which was a sign of missing someone after seeing something.

I never thought that this hosta would be lost!

Emperor Zhengde ordered people to search the chariot carefully, but no hosta was found.

Emperor Zhengde had no choice but to order Changfeng to say: "The whole army will camp on the spot and look for the hosta! Even if we dig three feet into the ground, we must find the hosta!"

Zhang Yong was shocked when he heard these words: "Your Majesty, the Southern Expedition is a major event involving troops and speed. How can we delay our trip just for a hosta?"

Emperor Zhengde shouted: "It is even more unlucky to lose the hosta given to me by Concubine Liu Guifei! It will harm the military fortune! Go and find it for me!"

Zhang Yong was about to argue, but Chang Feng secretly tugged on Zhang Yong's robe sleeves, and then shouted: "Your Majesty, Holy Ming! I will send an order right now, ordering the entire army to station and look for the hosta!"

After speaking, Chang Feng took Zhang Yong and left.

Zhang Yong complained: "Old Marquis, the Southern Expedition is not a child's play. The emperor delayed military and state affairs because of a jade hairpin. Why don't you let me advise?"

Chang Feng smiled slyly, his cloudy old eyes full of cunning: "Do you think the emperor would really stop the movement of 150,000 troops for a jade hairpin? With the emperor's wisdom and martial prowess, how could he be so confused?"

Zhang Yong was stunned: "How to say?"

Chang Feng lowered his voice: "Qingyun has been on the emperor's chariot. He secretly told me before that when the chariot passed the Marco Polo Bridge yesterday, the emperor threw a hosta into the Yongding River."

"Looking for the hosta is just a pretext. It is the emperor's purpose to slow down the army."

Zhang Yong was puzzled: "Why does the emperor want the army to slow down?"

Chang Feng sighed: "Oh, I can guess it, but I can't tell it." (End of Chapter)
