Biquge EbookFREE.me, the fastest update of the latest chapter in the 14th year of Chenghua!
The tenth day of the first month of the 23rd year of Chenghua.
This was a very ordinary day, but a big event happened just yesterday.
Wan Guifei.
Many officials didn't get the news until they arrived at Yamen this morning.
Unlike many unnamed concubines in the harem, this news is particularly important because of the status of Wanshi in the eyes of the emperor.
For more than ten years, Wan's dominance of the harem has not been able to be commendable. Instead, it has caused many troubles, including the emperor's abolition of the first queen, the prince's abolition of the storm, and so on.
Everyone can't pretend to be sad. Although Liu Jian, Xu Pu and others don't say anything, they even think this is good news.
Because they felt that Wan's death, many things were resolved. For example, the previous emperor insisted on changing the prince. In the final analysis, it was because of Wan's affection. Now that Wan's absence, no one will blow pillows to the emperor. When the wind blows, the influence of the Wandang Party will also be greatly reduced, and the Prince ’s crisis will finally be lifted.
But before they could breathe a sigh of relief, they ran into something unexpected.
The emperor wanted to chase Wanshi down as queen.
At the cabinet meeting, when Wan'an proposed this intention on behalf of the emperor, the cabinet exploded at once.
This was not the first time the emperor had this idea.
As early as when Wanshi was still alive, or to say, this needs to be traced farther back, when the emperor had just ascended the throne, he could not wait to conquer his beloved woman as a queen, but immediately encountered opposition from all parties, including The strongest objection was his mother Empress Dowager Zhou. The reasons for this were very complicated. It is no longer meaningful to trace them one by one. The only thing I can know is that the emperor was still very young and more indecisive than he is now. Hold on, you can only set up another queen.
But soon, after Wu Hou had a conflict with Wan Shi, the emperor finally found this opportunity, and took the opportunity to abolish Wu Shi, and wanted to set Wan Shi as the second time. This was the second time, and he was also strongly opposed. Once again, I couldn't persevere and compromised.
The third time, after the Wans gave birth to the eldest son, he made the Wans the emperor ’s concubines, and promised to abolish the current successor, the Wangs, after the eldest son was conferred as a prince. Later, but the sky did not obey the wishes of the people. The eldest son died prematurely, making the wishes of the two again empty.
Many years have passed now, and the older courtiers still remember how the emperor struggled for the Wan Family. Unexpectedly, people are now dead, the emperor's tossing power is coming again, and she will be chased down as queen.
This is simply not compliant.
In the Ming Dynasty, the harem came out of the innocent daughter of a civilian family, and she did n’t pay much attention to the height of the gate, but Wan ’s birth was not a problem at all. After she was a sinner, she became a court lady because of sin. Serving the emperor who was the crown prince at that time, he was able to jump the dragon gate. He could not talk about his innocence. Besides, Wanshi had no great merits and had never given birth to a crown prince. It simply did not meet the conditions of being a queen.
So Liu Jian immediately objected, and explained the above reasons, and finally said: "Yuan Weng don't forget, the prince's birth mother is only Princess Zhuang Xi!"
Although Ji's son is now a prince, she has not been chased down as a queen after her death. The emperor just gave her the posthumous title of Concubine Zhuang Xi, Liu Jian's meaning is that even the prince After the birth mother can't be sealed, why can Wanshi be?
Wan An said slowly: "Isn't this still to be discussed? What are you in a hurry? The cabinet is the head of a hundred officials. All political and political affairs must be decided by the cabinet before you can go down. Liu Xixian, you are all old, how can you still be so irritable Don't understand the rules? "
Liu Jian chucked his eyes straight, unable to speak for a long time, had to sit down angrily.
After Liu Jian touched his nose, the atmosphere of the cabinet was a little stagnant, and everyone was unwilling to express his position easily, especially the second assistant Liu Ji.
Although Wan An said "to discuss", but who doesn't know that Wan's death just now, the emperor must be full of sorrow. If he is opposed, he will be torn by the angry emperor. This kind of thing Liu Mianhua is firmly not mixed. Fit.
Looking at the cabinet, it is now that Liu Jian will have a fight with Wan An. Xu Pu is better than Yan Xingyan. Even if he wants to help, he probably doesn't know how to say it.
Peng Hua said: "People die like lights, and in my opinion, the concubine has already succumbed, and your majesty's move is also a matter of human nature. It should be used to comfort your majesty."
Liu Jian sneered: "Where is Princess Zhuangxi, you have to chase after the queen, otherwise where will you put the prince?"
Yin Zhi's yin and yang are angry: "You are wrong to say this. Princess Zhuang Xi chased the queen or not. The princes are all princes. No one can change this. Your majesty is deeply affectionate. Now, even if it is to comfort your majesty, what is wrong? Your majesty is now grieved, but you are firmly blocked. Is it hope that your majesty is mad at you, so that your wish is fulfilled, and the prince will be enthroned as soon as possible, right?
Liu Jianqi twitched his nose: "You're so irritating and unreasonable!"
In addition to being angry, Liu Jian once again realized the value of Tang Fan.
If Wan Dang had already been criticized by Tang Fan for a long time before he changed it, where would he get a small man like Yin Zhi in a big way?
Without Tang Fan's help, he and Xu Pu couldn't compete with Wandang in the fight.
Seeing Liu Jian jumped up in anger, Yin Zhi raised his mouth slightly, secretly complacent.
In fact, from the beginning, chasing Wanshi was just a guise.
But it is clear that Liu Jian and they have all attracted attention now.
I believe that it will not be soon, the news that the emperor wants to chase Wanshi down as a queen will be gone, and the ups and downs of the opposition will no longer be calm.
Those who opposed, supported, and neutral, who wanted to please the emperor, wanted to express themselves, and all parties debated, all wished that others would accept their views. Who would notice the Prince's things?
Seeing that they were arguing, Liu Ji slowly said: "Does the Queen Mother agree with this matter?"
He pointed out the point in one sentence. During Wan's lifetime, the Queen Mother was firmly opposed to establishing her as a man. Now that people are dead, it is even less likely to agree.
Liu Jian was reminded by him and immediately said: "Yes, the Queen Mother will definitely not agree to this matter."
"Mother and child are together." Wan An said meaningfully: "The Queen Mother must not have the heart to look at His Majesty for a long time."
The opinions of the cabinet are not unified, and this matter will naturally not be able to produce a result. In the morning, it passed by in an endless rash.
Near noon, Wan An announced that he would adjourn the meeting, and everyone left one after another, preparing to go to dinner.
"Yuan Weng!" Liu Jian shouted Wan'an.
Xu Pu tugged at his sleeves and motioned him not to be impulsive, but Liu Jian pretended not to see him, only stared at Wan An, saying: "Being a person, think of the name behind you It ’s what makes you regretful for a while! "
This provocation changed things as usual. Wan An ignored it, but today he stopped and waved Peng Hua to signal that they would go out first, and then sneered and asked, "What is regret? You deserve to talk to me The way of a prince? There is no ruler, no matter what you mean, what is your name as a prince! "
Liu Jian said angrily: "The way to be a minister is not to welcome, but to persuade! If the king has improper words and deeds, he should be persuaded by his courtiers, which is worthy of the conscience of the world, and of the people of Limin, I am Zaifu , King Zuo Zuo, Kuang Fu She Ji, are n’t those gangsters who only want to beat the horse! Wan Xunji, you feel your chest, can you deserve the word Zaifu! "
"Come on!" Clay figurines still have three points of anger, not to mention that Wan An is not a figurine. He knows that many people secretly scold him in the background, but it is one thing to secretly scold him. After all, he can't hear it. one time.
"What do you know about Jason? How can my father act, it's still your turn to judge! Do you think you are very capable of supporting the prince? You have the ability to go to your majesty to die, you are a baby shrimp, I Look, even Daxing's watermelon is smarter than you! "
Wan'an is a Meizhou native, and the Sichuanese scolded people for a set. But after he entered the cabinet, he has not scolded people for many years. Today it seems that Liu Jian is anxious and the local voice is not Perception emerged.
Although Liu Jian couldn't understand the meaning of Guawa shrimp, he wanted to know that it wasn't a good thing, and he was so angry that his face was pale. When he rolled up his sleeves, he would use Henan dialect to return his eyes, but Xu Pu held him desperately: "Calm !calm!"
He didn't know where suddenly he had such great strength, and he directly dragged Liu Jian out, which could avoid the outbreak of the curse of the cabinet boss.
"Why are you pulling me, I must scold him to death!" Out of the cabinet, Liu Jian finally got rid of Xu Pu's hand and said angrily.
Xu Pu smiled bitterly: "What can you do if you scold and win? Not only does it not help, but it also makes people laugh at the news. Is the first assistant and the elder cursing at you? Are you very respectable?"
Liu Jian said angrily: "You listen to what he said and hug your thighs! It's embarrassing! What the emperor wanted to do, Wan'an stood there, what a broken first assistant, there was nothing wrong in the outside, he was the assistant It's just a caterpillar that has lost the face of our cabinet! "
Xu Pu sighed: "Forget it, if this can't be opposed even by the empress dowager, what's the use of our desperate opposition? I see that your majesty has made up her mind this time. What kind of guts has been given to your majesty, everyone is dead and still so affectionate! "
Liu Jian pouted: "What is affectionate, it is really affectionate, many years ago, it was disregarded, and it was really disturbing!"
Xu Pu slightly changed color: "Your mouth is really not forgiving, just talk to me, don't say these words in front of outsiders!"
Liu Jian was impatient: "Got it, when did I say this in front of outsiders! If it were not for you to hold me, I must scold the turtle grandson!"
Xu Pu was helpless: "Do you still remember this?"
Liu Jian rolled his eyes: "Why don't you remember, what does that Guawa shrimp skin mean, and Daxing watermelon ... I'm so mad, otherwise I'll go back and scold him again!"
After turning around, I really want to go back.
Xu Pu hastily grabbed his arm: "Oh, feed me and say yes, you just scolded enough!"
Liu Jian: "But I haven't scolded it in Henan!"
Xu Pu: "..."
With a helpless look on his face, Liu Jian suddenly stopped, thinking that he had listened to his advice and hurriedly said: "Go, go, go on duty in the afternoon, go to dinner first, don't be angry, not worth it when!"
Liu Jian suddenly asked, "Do you remember those words that he scolded me for?"
Xu Pu: "Remember, what's wrong?"
Liu Jian: "If you say it again, I will listen."
Xu Pu thought he was stunned, and said silently: "No, it's not a good word. Are you still addicted?"
Liu Jian shook his head: "It's not not."
Xu Pu didn't know what he wanted to do, so he had to imitate Wanan's accent and say: "Melon peel shrimp?"
Liu Jian: "... not this sentence, the previous one."
Xu Pu thought blankly: "Front? He said it was not your turn to judge, and he said you thought you were very capable of supporting the prince ... these?"
Liu Jian raised his eyebrows: "In the morning we were fighting over the problems after Wan's seal, but what did he suddenly involve the prince?"
Xu Pu is not sure: "Maybe it is just casually mentioned?"
Liu Jian suspiciously: "Really, he is not suggesting anything?"
Xu Pu said: "Will not."
Liu Jian shook his head and realized that he didn't understand: "Forget it, Tang Runqing is left to worry about such things."
Xu Pu smiled bitterly: "Run Qing can no longer be able to stop her majesty from chasing down Wan Shi, I think this is worse than ventilating with the queen mother first!"
Liu Jian: "Same thing, then let's go to Renshou Palace!"
Xu Pu: "Ah? No longer eating?"
Liu Jian: "What else to eat, come back and eat again!"
Xu Pu: "Come on, please don't drag me, slow down, slow down, I'm old bones, I can't stand tossing!"
...
The quarrel between Wan An and Liu Jian soon spread out. This was a rarity. The cabinet was not as peaceful as it once was, but it is not uncommon to tear the face completely like today.
But compared to the emperor wanting to chase Wan Shi, this seems to be nothing.
There was a lot of discussion between the government and the public, and many of the speech officials were flexing their muscles, and they were already preparing for persuasion.
Tang Pan naturally heard about this, but he didn't take it seriously until Liu Jian came to the Tang family at night and told him about the morning.
"Actually, I didn't even take that thing seriously, Wan Xunji is not shameless anymore, it's not a matter of two days a day," Liu Jian would never say that he was mad and half dead in the morning. After thinking about it, it would be safer to come over and talk to you, but I think it may be that I am more concerned ... "
"Daxing Watermelon?" Tang Fan chewed on these words, a little puzzled, "Wan'an made Daxing doing nothing for nothing?"
Liu Jian's face was embarrassed: "It's not to scold me for that metaphor!"
Tang Fan thought about it for a while, but couldn't think of a reason, shook his smile and said: "It should be just ordinary curse, I can't hear anything wrong."
Liu Jian was relieved: "If you don't have one, Wan Xunji is thoughtful, cunning and insidious. I'm just afraid that he has something to say. It seems that I think too much!"
Because it was getting late, Liu Jian quickly quit and Tang Fan personally delivered the person to the door, but did not return to the house, but went to the Sui family next door.
Suizhou knew that Liu Jian was visiting, so he didn't go to Tang Fan. When he saw him coming, he asked, "He is gone?"
Tang Fan nodded: "Leave."
He was a little absent-minded and chewed on the words repeatedly.
Suizhou saw him with a different look, so he couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?"
Tang Fan: "What's so special about Daxing Watermelon?"
Suizhou somehow: "Where is the watermelon at this time?"
Tang Fan felt that the ideas were a bit wrong, and changed the question again: "Does Daxing County produce watermelons?"
Suizhou: "It seems to be produced."
Tang Fan: "Does every household grow?"
Suizhou: "I don't know, but Xue Ling is a Daxing. You can ask him to ask tomorrow."
Tang Fan: "Just now."
His anxious attitude is somewhat rare, but in many things, Tang Fan's careful and cautious afterwards has always proved to be very necessary.
In this regard, Suizhou, who was born and died with him, naturally has a deep experience.
The tacit understanding between the two has reached the point where they can understand each other without saying much, so as soon as he heard him say, Suizhou didn't say much and immediately went out to find someone.
Xue Ling was quickly found. He was fighting with his colleagues in the wine shop he frequented. His alcohol was not dissipated. Suddenly, he was called by the boss to his house. It was a bit embarrassing, but Tang Fan and Suizhou did not. Think about these details.
"Daxing?" Xue Ling was a little surprised, he did not expect Suizhou to call him in the middle of the night just for this matter.
"It is indeed rich in melons and fruits. Most of the watermelons and grapes in the tribute palace are produced in Daxing. The next door is one of the melon farmers. However, according to them, the profit of this business is very thin, because the price from the government is not high, they It cannot be resold to merchants. "
He didn't know what Tang Fan wanted to ask, he could only say what he knew.
Naturally, there is nothing wrong with these words.
Tang Fan frowned: "That's it? Have you heard of any rumors there that are related to Wan'an?"
Xue Ling thought about it and shook his head: "No."
Tang Fan was a little disappointed.
But he couldn't think of anything else to ask anymore. He thought that maybe Liu Jian and himself were so ardent. Wan An's words might just be anxious and curse.
"Right!" Xue Ling suddenly said: "I heard that those melon farmers are not all losing money. There is a family who lives next to Wantong and somehow has a relationship with Wantong. When he buys melons, he always pays more than others. "
Tang Fan sighed: "You said Wantong is different from Daxing?"
Xue Ling nodded: "Yes, but he rarely goes to live. I heard that Bie Zhuang was used to house his concubines who had fallen out of favor.
Tang Fan listened and raised his eyebrows tightly.
If Wan’an ’s words did mean something else, did it mean this?
But why did Wanan imply Liu Jian, did he know that Liu Jian would definitely tell him this?
But did n’t Wanan take the same boat as Wantong, why did he want to do it again?
Even if Wantong ’s Bezhuang really has a problem, what does it have to do with Prince Edward?
Many questions rushed into my mind. Rao was Tang Fan's cleverness, and it was difficult to solve these messy mysteries.
Tang Fan asked Suizhou: "Do you think Wan'an may really imply us?"
Suizhou thought about it, and suddenly mentioned another unrelated matter: "At that time, you solved Chen Luan in Suzhou, and then involved Shang Ming. At the time, Wyan and Wang Zhi took the opportunity to call the admiral of Shang Mingdong Factory. The emperor also agreed to the position, and Wantong saw the general trend and followed up with the matter. For this reason, Wantong was furious and yelled that Wanan was the head of the wall, but then the two quickly reconciled. You are not in Beijing, so I do n’t know. "
Tang Fan lit up: "You mean, Wan'an is not a firm million party, he also has his own calculations?"
Suizhou said: "His calculations are just to please the emperor and to protect the rich and wealthy, because the emperor favors Wan Guifei, and he obeyed Wan Guifei, and he followed him up. If one day the emperor dislikes Wantong, he will never On the side of Wantong. "
After all, the corners of his mouth outlined a curve of laughter, but he did not laugh out loud: "This kind of person can only be rich and rich, not suffering together."
Regardless of whether Wanshoufu can share the same troubles, this is a problem that Wantong needs to worry about, not what Tang Pan needs to worry about.
However, Tang Fan heard an out-of-string voice from Suizhou's words: That was what Wan An scolded Liu Jian, and it might not have been scolded by whim.
Only now there is a problem ...
Tang Fan frowned: "Even if we speculate that Wantong may be hiding some unspeakable secrets in Bezhuang of Daxing, it is impossible to search in such a hurry. If nothing is found, it will fall back on the handle."
"It's okay, leave this matter to me." Suizhou finished, turning to Xue Ling: "Now go and gather the brethren."
Xue Ling Wenyan not only did not hesitate to be afraid, but also showed the excitement of eagerness to try: "Go to the Biezhuang of that turtle grandson?"
Suizhou nodded slightly: "Let's do it and hide your identity."
Xue Ling smiled and rubbed his hands in a fist: "Take care of your elder brother, you have to take it with you. This time you must pay a lot of money! Brothers have long wanted to give the turtle and grandson an embarrassment, so that he will always press on our heads for prestige! "
Listening to this tone, it doesn't look like Jin Yiwei, but like a bandit going to fight home.
Daxing is located in the suburbs of Beijing, under the jurisdiction of Suncheon.
But no matter how close it is to Beijing, it is not Beijing, after all, it has become quiet in the evening, and it is still lonely at night.
On a night without wind, it seems that even the vegetation is frozen, standing quietly, not moving, and the birds often called insects in summer nights, and this season has disappeared.
It's freezing cold, but people who have a house to shelter from the cold will hide in the house and shrink into the bed. The wife and children kang their heads, which is no better than the best comfort in winter.
This Biezhuang on the banks of the Dalong River is no exception. Although it may be more stylish and beautiful than the surrounding farms during the day, it is not visible now. With the candlelight in a house in the house completely extinguished, It also fell asleep at night.
Until a woman's scream sounded!
Manniang clutched the quilt tightly and looked at these unknown people in horror.
The torches in their hands lit the room brightly, and the whole body was dark. Only the eyes were exposed, fierce and fierce. At first glance, they knew that they were not good.
She is not the only person in this house who screams, but they are helpless except for screaming.
"You guys, you know where this is! This is Bie Zhuang, the commander of Jin Yiwei. Do you dare to break in, don't you die, don't go out soon!" She shivered and hoped to be scared off by the name of Wantong they.
But she was disappointed. Instead of listening, the other party searched around in her house.
Manniang is one of Wantong ’s concubines. She was sent here after she fell out of favor a few years ago. The women in Beizhuang basically come from this way. They know their destiny for the rest of their lives, but they have no choice but to do so. Living lonely day by day in Beizhuang, occasionally coming to visit while waiting for Wantong's whim.
However, about six months ago, this situation changed. Beizhuang did not know why he suddenly entered a large number of skilled nursing homes. For this reason, the scope of their activities was further reduced, and they were detained in the backyard. Since then, Wantong has come more frequently since then, but he still rarely stepped in the backyard. Manni and their women are like withered flowers, as if they were completely forgotten.
Manniang had a sister who could n’t stand loneliness and wanted to seduce one of the nursing homes. As a result, Wantong was found, and she was immediately dragged down and beaten to death with a stick. Remember now.
Since then, the front yard has become the forbidden area of ​​Beizhuang.
But now, as these people in black are in a state of no one, no one comes to stop them. Those nursing homes seem to be dead, and they can't even notice the movements here.
The only possibility is that those people have now been laid down.
Man Niang's heart moved, and she seemed to see her hope of escaping from this other village.
"You, what are you looking for?" She only wore a apron when she lay down, but the men in black didn't look at her.
But certainly not for the purpose of robbing money, because the silk satin in his box was turned over and scattered all over the place, sometimes with some softness, and those people did not move.
"Shut up, and you will be slaughtered again!" One of the men in black said with impatience in his tone.
Manni looked at them and even took a dagger to pry the bluestone bricks on the floor and summoned the courage again: "... I know what you are looking for!"
The movements of the men in black suddenly looked at her.
Manniang flinched and stuttered, "Actually, I'm not too clear, but you must be looking for something? I, I may know some clues ..."
"What do you know?" It was the man in black who just spoke.
Man Niang also wanted to bargain: "What's the benefit after I said it?"
The other person's answer was to put the knife directly around her neck.
The mother-in-law immediately counseled: "I, I am laughing ... But if you are looking for something, it must not be here, but in the front yard!"
