Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

Since Emperor Zhengde wanted to hear the story, Su Mu didn't hide anything, so he told the story from the beginning to the end of what he encountered after going to Cangzhou.

When he heard the conflict between Su Mu and Ma Quan, he put a pot of mutton on his head, and then immersed him in the river, Zhengde clapped his hands again and again: "It's fun, it's fun, I also heard that Cangzhou people are brave and good at martial arts." , there are many masters among the people. This Ma Quan must be one of the few masters in Cangzhou, but unfortunately, I can't leave the palace, so I can't compete with him."

Su Mu: "Although that man has high martial arts skills, he can't do two moves under the hands of the minister. If he meets Wansui, he will definitely be caught within ten moves."

"That is, that is, Zi Qiao and you have cultivated a noble spirit for so many years, and you also have this confidence."

Then, Su Mu talked about the scene of the armory battle.

Of course, in order to put gold on his face, Su Mu was also ashamed to say that he used a musket.

With that said, Su Mu will start bragging, replacing the musket with a short knife.When he said that he stabbed the other three people to death one by one on the spot, Zhengde yelled: "It should be like this. We walk in the rivers and lakes, and we should be happy in the rivers and lakes. Naturally, blood for blood is a real man."

"Let's say that the thief named Friday is also one of the best in Cangzhou City, especially the sharp knife in his hand, which can be ranked among the top ten in the world. To be honest, I didn't have the confidence to take down a knife at the time."

"Just when I started to move my hands, I found that it is not difficult to restrain his sharp knife."

Zhengde asked strangely: "If you want to restrain the sharp knife, you must be faster than him. From my point of view, Qing's martial arts are not fast or ruthless. How did you do it?"

Su Mu stroked the short beard on his lips, and said with a smile: "Stay still to stop, slow to speed up."

"I don't understand..." Zhengde looked puzzled.

It was only then that Su Mu remembered that in this era, Taijiquan had not yet spread in the martial arts world, and Neijiaquan was not the mainstream.

He just smiled and recited a few words of Tai Chi boxing scriptures, such as "Double weight is not enough, but single weight is successful." Nesong is calm."

In Su Mu's heart, he had the idea of ​​fooling around, but he didn't think that although Emperor Zhengde's basic skills were poor, he could stay with the guards all day long.And the guards under him are all good at this. Over the years, although Zhengde didn't do any hard work, he has memorized a lot of boxing principles.

Tai Chi is so brilliant, when he heard it, he knew immediately that it was a superb martial art.Thinking about it carefully, his body trembled, and he said angrily, "Zi Qiao, I didn't expect you to know such a brilliant boxing technique, but you didn't teach it to me. You've been asking me to raise your energy all day long, so you don't have to suffocate anyone. After you get down, you put this set Copy the fist!"

"Yes Yes Yes."

Zhengde: "Okay, let's stop here first, and you continue to talk about the big battle that night."

As a witness to that incident, Su Mu witnessed Zong Zhen and Wu Wu slashing at each other with their own eyes.So he honestly replaced Zong Zhen with himself. In the story, it was naturally Su Mu who was in a panic, fought with Friday, and then won the battle.

Su Mu was originally engaged in literature, and his language expression skills are extremely strong, and he has borrowed many rhetorical techniques from later martial arts novels.A battle fell into his mouth, and he was really talked about in a hype. Hearing that Emperor Zhengde suddenly looked nervous, and suddenly he was impassioned.

After Su Mu said that he hacked Friday to death with a single knife, Emperor Zhengde's ambition became fierce.He slapped the foot of the bronze lion beside him with a slap, and let out a long roar: "I wish I could be in Cangzhou that night, and fight side by side with Ziqiao. How can I say that I have no clothes, and I have the same hatred with Zi? Zi Tongpao!"

Seeing Emperor Zhengde and Su Mu talking and laughing, Liu Jin beside him had a deep jealousy and a faint worry in his eyes. He always felt that this time Su Mu's return to Beijing might not be a good thing for him.

Zhang Yong, who was next to him, saw his unshakable expression, and sneered in his heart: Eunuch Liu, now I know Su Mu's place in Long Live Lord's heart.Don't think that just because you have been His Majesty's companion, you can enjoy the honor alone!

I have to admit that Liu Jin has a special status in the emperor's mind.

Zhengde is young, but also a person who is particularly fond of nostalgia.Liu Jin grew up serving him since he was a child, and in the eyes of the emperor, he was naturally treated as a relative.

It is impossible for anyone in the palace to replace Liu Jin. Zhang Yong thinks that he is full of wit and tricks, but he has nothing to do.

Especially when Su Mu left the capital for nearly a year, he was severely suppressed by Liu Jin.

In the Supervisor of Ceremonies, he, the Chief Bingbi, has no right to speak at all.Ordinarily, the East Factory should be under his jurisdiction, but Eunuch Liu refused to hand it over.

Zhang Yong's life this year can be described as aggrieved, and he never looks forward to Su Mu's return to the capital.

Seeing that Su Mu only made Wan Sui laugh and scream with just a few words, he let out a long sigh of relief.Secretly said: Liu Jin, maybe no one can replace your position, but don't forget.Long live is just a child, love to play is his nature.When it comes to having fun, whether it's vulgar or elegant, can you compare to the talented Su Ziqiao?

……

After Su Mu finished talking about the ink corruption case of the Yan Division, Emperor Zhengde clapped his hands and laughed: "This matter is really ups and downs, soul-stirring, Ziqiao, you have great courage and great wisdom. It's a pity that I can't personally participate in this big excitement. Yes Yes, you can continue."

Just like a novel, a book can't be read all the time, and readers will get tired after reading it, and need wind and snow to adjust it.So Su Mu whispered about Princess Taikang pretending to be a talented woman, and Emperor Zhengde laughed until he burst into tears: "Taikang is so fun, plagiarism is on your head, isn't that selling books in front of Confucius?" ? However, this little liar actually went out of the palace to play for a year, I really envy and hate!"

Then Emperor Zhengde asked again: "Su Aiqing, I want to ask you something, you have to answer honestly."

"The minister is naturally endless."

Zhengde frowned, and abducted Sumu with his hand: "Be honest, your cheap wife is Mei Niang, does she have any sexual affairs with you?"

Su Mu's old face flushed: "Your Majesty, I have nothing to say."

"Haha, that's it. In fact, it's nothing. The big deal is that you accept her in the future." Emperor Zhengde smiled very happily: "I will get married soon, and I will do this after the new year. Speaking of it, if It’s not that some development bank got so much money for me, our royal family is really going to be ashamed this time.”

Speaking of this, the emperor said bitterly: "All the officials talk about decency in front of me all day long, saying what a gentleman should do. But when it comes to the critical moment, ask them to pay, and one by one just ignore me. This bank , you and Taikang have to go on and earn more money for me. These years, the first emperor, queen mother, and I are really poor. You and Taikang are free to do it. If something goes wrong, I will take care of it for you. Absolutely will not let you have a bad end."

With the emperor's words, Su Mu was relieved: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I know what to do. As the saying goes, no agriculture is not stable, no business is not prosperous. The Huangzhuang Huangtian in your Majesty's hands can only maintain the daily life of the palace. Expenses, once you have something to do, can't be used for anything."

"That makes sense." The emperor nodded: "Let's get down to business."

Su Mu cheered up: "Your Majesty, please tell me, but I have an order, and I dare not obey it."

Zhengde clapped his hands: "Okay, I knew that Aiqing would agree. Aiqing's family is poor and has no food and clothing. Last night, the Queen Mother discussed with me. In order to pay for your merits, I will give you an official position so that you can support your family."

"It's coming again..." Su Mu smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, I dare not obey the order. Most of the court ministers are direct and admonishing ministers. If I become an official, I am afraid that my reputation will be ruined immediately. His saliva has been drowned out, and he will become a villain in the world's population in the future. Long live, if you really want to let the minister serve the country, you might as well wait three or four months until the minister is admitted as a Jinshi, and it will not be too late."

Speaking of this, he said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. I still receive a salary in the bank, and there are bonuses at the end of the year. I am very rich, and I don't need to rely on my salary to make ends meet."

"If you want to be a great talent, you must pretend to be poor, low-key, low-key." Zhengde laughed: "If you are asked to be an official, you will be afraid of this. Don't worry, maybe it will hurt you. Don't worry, no Let you be an official of the imperial court and put you on fire. How about Zhengbapin?"

Hearing what the emperor said, Su Mu breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Your Majesty, it will be Chunwei soon, and I still have to study my homework. It doesn't matter if you are an official of the eighth rank, anyone can do it."

"No, I really have to let you go about this matter." The emperor said, "Don't you want to know what official position I and the Queen Mother have promised you?"

"minister……"

"Tongzheng envoy Sizheng Bapin Governor." Zhengde said slowly: "That's right, it's the same yamen as Wu Shiqi."

Su Mu was startled, and felt that there seemed to be something wrong.

Zhengde: "The general administration envoy is in charge of the internal and external chapters and the subjects' sealed complaints, that is, a Qingshui Yamen where the situation is reported from the bottom and the situation is issued from the top. It seems that it is not very important. But there is one thing that is crucial, Dibao. There is still more than a month until the Spring Festival. After the new year, I will be in charge of the government. In March, it will be the first Enke since I took charge of the government. Most of the envoys are unreasonable rotten scholars. Because of the past."

Su Mu immediately came to his senses, the emperor... no, it should be the queen mother who wanted the royal family to control the only official public opinion channel, the mansion newspaper, so that Emperor Zhengde could get married and take charge of the government.

To be honest, the civil servants and scholars of the Ming Dynasty were quite well-known to later generations, and they were proud to fight against the system with the emperor.

Empress Dowager Zhang asked Su Mu and Mr. Wu to enter the General Administration Department to avoid disharmony and to maintain a stable and peaceful situation.

Su Mu thought to himself: Empress Dowager Zhang is really amazing, she even wants to do this, it seems that this official is really going to do it.Anyway, to be a governor of the eighth grade will not damage my reputation.
