Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 667: The emperor taught his son Xinyi first and made a strict layout, and the ministers retreated

In Changle Palace, Wang Yunmeng, Madam of Dingbeihou, was chatting with Queen Mother Wu.

Wang Yunmeng was a cheerful woman, and Empress Dowager Wu had a good rapport with her, and they chatted constantly at home.

Ningxiang sat aside with her arms around Zhu Wenfang, feeling drowsy while listening.

Wang Yunmeng came to ask for an account, and while chatting, the subject of Enke Jinshi came up: "I heard that there were four unmarried Jinshis around 20 years old this year, and the Holy One promised to make peace with one of my little sisters."

Empress Dowager Wu smiled and said: "Even my wife understands this. Since there was a precedent of He Yi and Wang Xian marrying the daughter of the prince, those who were too young when they were elected will try their best to refuse marriage and instead take part in the trial first. , If you can't win the Jinshi, then make other plans.

If you become a Jinshi, you can marry a girl from a distinguished family and become a successful person.

In the past, when the provincial examination results were released, candidates who were new to the imperial examination would be included in the list to catch their son-in-law. This year, many high-ranking and high-ranking families have suffered.

I know that this year there is a new imperial examination candidate named Qiao Feng, who was so talented that he almost had his head stolen.You will know how lively it is. "

Wang Yunmeng smiled and said: "Concubine Qiao Fengchen has also heard that he did not participate in this year's Enke examination. It is said that he wants to participate in next year's Zhengke examination, but he has plans for his career.

Countless dignitaries came to propose marriage, but they were all declined. Now Qiao Feng was thanking guests behind closed doors and immersed herself in studying. "

Empress Dowager Wu smiled and nodded: "Does your family want to choose one of the four young talents this year, or wait for next year's Jinshi?"

Although Empress Dowager Wu did not care about state affairs, she also knew that the generals from Yingzhou Guard were one of the most important foundations of her family's rule. Since they asked for it, she had to give it to them and could not deny it.

Wang Yunmeng smiled and said: "Just this year, so as not to have long nights and dreams. Even if we wait until next year, young talents with ideas like Qiao Feng may not like my family.

It's just that among the four people this year, Wan Yi, Liang Fang, Bai Ang, Qin Minyue, I don't know which one to choose, and I asked the Queen Mother for advice. "

Empress Dowager Wu smiled and said: "How can I, an old woman, understand this? Wife, stop sleeping and say something quickly."

Ningxiang asked herself, and quickly said with a smile: "The mother doesn't understand, and the daughter-in-law doesn't understand even more. I'd better ask my husband to advise me tomorrow."

Empress Dowager Wu was not easy to fool: "You girl, don't be fooled. If you don't understand, there are a few people who do. Meng, girl, you don't know, Ningxiang is helping Qi Yu in charge of supervision. The background of these new scholars is She has it in her head.

Ningxiang knew which Jinshi's father had taken a sheep, and which Jinshi's grandfather had stolen a chicken. "

Ningxiang smiled and said: "Why do the queens say this to their daughter-in-law in front of outsiders? No matter how mean the daughter-in-law is, she will not have enough time to take care of other people's houses and steal chickens and dogs."

Wang Yunmeng scolded: "Who is an outsider? You girl, explain it to me quickly, or I will drag the sisters together to beat you up later."

Ningxiang could only get back to the topic: "Wan Yi is a man of poor moral character. He has a dissolute nature and is careless in his actions. He should be ruled out. Liang Fang is a talented scholar, but he is upright and mean, so he is not a good match.

Bai Ang was born into a family that held imperial examinations. He was well-educated and shrewd and capable. As long as there were no health problems, he would not be able to retain his position as minister in the future.

Qin Minyue's grandfather was a Jinshi, although his family was poor in his generation.But Qin Minyue was extremely studious, read everything, and had a wide range of interests. He was also an upright person with a gentle temperament.As long as there are no health problems, the position of minister in the future is not a problem.

Bai Ang and Qin Minyue are both top choices.But Qin Minyue is one year younger than Bai Ang, and as far as I know is physically stronger, so I personally recommend Qin Minyue. "

Wang Yunmeng nodded repeatedly after hearing this. Although Mrs. Dingbeihou has a strong personality, she still listens to advice, especially her sisters who believe in her:
"Then it's Qin Minyue. It's my sister's fault to be the matchmaker."

Ningxiang became anxious when she heard this: "Why is it me again? I won't do it anymore. Last time I acted as a matchmaker for Marquis Wu'an, he completely relied on me. Whatever happened at home, he would come to me to mediate.

I've been a matchmaker for your family again, and you've become dependent on me. I won't do it, I won't do it.

Xiao Wenfang, let’s run quickly. Let’s go to the Jade Causeway to see the lotus flowers. "

After that, Ningxiang pulled Zhu Wenfang and disappeared as if running away.

Empress Dowager Wu looked at Wang Yunmeng apologetically, but Wang Yunmeng smiled and said: "Don't worry, Empress Dowager, the monk can escape but cannot escape from the temple. Just see how I can manipulate this girl when I turn around."

However, after Zhu Qiyu and Lin Xiangyu had been affectionate for several times, Ningxiang walked in with a smile.

Seeing that Lin Xiangyu's face was red and her expression was blurred, it was obvious that the lingering charm and long-standing relationship had not faded away, so Ningxiang got on the bed, hugged Lin Xiangyu into her arms, and inserted her jade finger into the origin.

Lin Xiangyu's body had long been played limp and weak by Zhu Qiyu, and now she could only stare at Ningxiang with anger in her eyes.

Ningxiang ignored her and kissed her proudly.

Soon Lin Xiangyu was confused again, choking and begging for mercy.

Zhu Qiyu played with the nephrite Wenxiang and asked, "Where did Ningxiang go just now?"

Ningxiang smiled and said: "I paid off the debt for you. Didn't Madam Dingbei Hou Wang want to give her a new scholar to her sister-in-law? The Nu family recommended Qin Minyue to him."

Zhu Qiyu twisted Ningxiang's pretty face: "You're such a smart girl. Mrs. Wang didn't want Qiao Feng? How did you fool her?"

Ningxiang smiled mischievously: "I don't know, it's just that Mrs. Wang is blind. I will keep this in Qiao Fengnu's family and use it to curry favor with Duke Ding next year."

When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he shook his head helplessly. These little women like him all have exquisite minds, and each one is smarter than the last.

Forget it, housework is difficult to understand, just concentrate on playing with women.

One dragon and two phoenixes, silent all night.
