I really don't want to be emperor at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 189
Chapter 188

Not only Wang Chengen felt that Zhu Weiti took advantage of women's husbands, but in fact Zhu Weiti felt it himself.

Before she got engaged to Cheng Shijie, she was an unfavored princess. She had the status of a princess but was not treated like a princess. She lived in the side hall of Renshou Palace. An eunuch named Feng Shuan waited on him.

As far as the palace is concerned, this is a place where people can eat people without spit out their bones, step on the low and climb high, bully the weak and fear the hard, the weakest prey on the strong, it is the cruelest place.

Her mother, Concubine Li Kang, was a little better. After all, she was getting older, and in order to have a bite to eat, she would be sloppy if she said it, and turn her face if she wanted to, but she couldn't do it.

The eunuchs and maids in charge of the palace often put on small shoes and eye drops for her.

All these changes were due to Emperor Chongzhen wanting to marry Cheng Shijie. From then on, everything changed. When the Haizhou victory spread to the palace, countless people congratulated you, and the salary was paid every month. At that time, there was no more deduction, and all the money given was of better quality, and the food given out was no longer leftovers.

The nanny in charge, or the eunuch in charge, who used to see her eyes were not eyes and nose was not her nose, when they saw themselves, they all carefully accompanied their smiling faces.

Not only that, but the rewards were significantly more than before. The last time Cheng Shijie sent a large amount of corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes and seafood to Emperor Chongzhen, Zhu Weiti also received them, more than any princess.

Even Gu Ziyi, a palace woman without rank, now walks with wind, with her head held high, as proud as a peacock.

Just like the former imperial eunuch like Wang Chengen, Emperor Chongzhen had been emperor for four years, and Zhu Weiti had never seen him once, but now, he has met him four times in half a year. As for ordinary eunuchs, they are not even qualified to meet her there is none left.

Gu Ziyi received three big carts of gifts. From Gu Ziyi's point of view, they will have a big and fat year this year, with everything they need to eat, drink, and use.

Zhu Weiti is fine, she is a poor princess and she is used to it.

Gu Ziyi was a little uncomfortable.

After receiving the supplies, it was supposed that Wang Chengen should have left, but Wang Chengen did not.

"Eunuch Wang, is there anything else?"

Gu Ziyi looked very strange at Wang Chengen's hesitation to speak.

Wang Chengen lowered his voice and whispered in front of Gu Ziyi.

When Gu Ziyi heard this, her face turned red to the base of her neck.

As the saying goes, the emperor's daughter has no worries about marrying.This is an eternal truth.Due to the noble blood of the royal family, no matter what the emperor's daughter looks like, she will become the dream goddess in the hearts of men.And thousands of men, once they can climb up to the princess, they will become relatives of the emperor.Although there is no real power, it can also be said that there is no need to worry about eating and drinking for a lifetime.

But in ancient times, even if you were favored by a princess, if you wanted to be a son-in-law, you had to go through a strict test before you could get your wish.And this test is done by the closest and most heartfelt maid around the princess, that is to say, the princess's maid is the examiner whether you can be a son-in-law or not.

Cheng Shijie's situation is a bit special, he was given a marriage, not to mention that he has no health problems, even if there are problems, it is not up to Princess Le'an to object or refuse the marriage.

However, the necessary procedures still have to go.

After Wang Chengen gave Gu Ziyi orders, he said goodbye to Zhu Weiti.

After Wang Cheng'en left, Zhu Weiti went up to check on Emperor Chongzhen. It could also be said that it was a gift from Cheng Shijie. There were many gifts, and they were basically related to basic necessities of life, but they had no money.

There are tens of catties of dried beef and mutton alone, as well as frozen seafood, fresh seafood, silk and satin, cotton cloth, and cotton.

Zhu Weiti looked at Gu Ziyi and said, "Ziyi sent the things to mother..."

However, Zhu Weiti found that Gu Ziyi was a little out of his mind.

There must be at least one court lady for a trial marriage, but the problem is that Zhu Weiti is different from other princesses. There are more than ten or 20 maids of honor around other princesses. It is not difficult to pick a court lady for a trial marriage.

However, it won't work for Zhu Weiti, she only has a maid like herself, where can she find a trial marriage princess?
After Zhu Weiti called Gu Ziyi several times, she came back to her senses.

However, no matter how you say it, what should come will always come. Zhu Weiti can't hide this matter from Zhu Weiti. Zhu Weiti can either let himself go or find the maid beside Li Kangfei, but the problem is that the people around Li Kangfei are all following Li Kangfei Years old, now they are all older.

A court lady in her thirties who goes for a trial marriage may be disgusted by Cheng Shijie, the son-in-law.

This question went around and around, and naturally ran to Concubine Li Kang again.

As the so-called skinny camel is bigger than a horse, Concubine Li Kang, a ruthless character who dared to tear up the emperor's birth mother, the queen, and dared to mess with civil and military officials, has always maintained a strong control ability in the palace.

Of course, if she didn't have this strength, there would be very few people who would want Concubine Li Kang to die violently.

The wrecked ship still had three catties of nails. Concubine Li Kang had spent most of her life in the palace and fought for most of her life. She must have some confidence. What worried Concubine Li most was that Chongzhen would avenge the old grievances and marry Zhu Weiti to a sloppy man.

As Emperor Chongzhen decided to marry Cheng Shijie, Concubine Li Kang immediately began to investigate Cheng Shijie. Knowing that Cheng Shijie was 17 years older than Princess Zhu Weiti of Le'an and now 36 years old, Concubine Li Kang was a little displeased.

The last time Cheng Shijie entered the palace to face the saint, Concubine Li Kang secretly met Cheng Shijie with her own eyes. This time, Cheng Shijie only noticed that someone was secretly watching him, but he didn't expect it to be Concubine Li Kang.

Concubine Li Kang is very satisfied with Cheng Shijie's appearance, appearance and figure. Unlike ordinary men who are 36 or 28 years old, Cheng Shijie looks 30 or [-] years old and much older than most [-]-year-old Ming men.

After all, fat people have a lot of collagen on their faces.

What made Concubine Li Kang even more satisfied was Cheng Shijie's body. According to the storyteller, Cheng Shijie was the Ming version of Changshan Zhao Zilong. Dodo's stories are flying all over the sky.

As a famous general in hundreds of battles, she must be in good health. As a person who has experienced it, Concubine Li Kang knew that as a woman, she could not ask for a man to be poor or gentle, but she had to ask for a man's body.

Cheng Shijie was tall and in good health, so he wouldn't be like Princess Yongning's son-in-law who died within a month of marriage, making Princess Yongning the only princess in Ming Dynasty who was still a virgin until her death.

Concubine Li Kang was actually lamenting that when Emperor Chongzhen was entrusted to her to be raised, she was a timid and fearful character. She only needed to cough and Emperor Chongzhen would cry in fright.

But because of Cheng Shijie, he successively defeated Jiannu Azig in Jinshishan, Duoduo in Haizhou, Huang Taiji in Baliwan, and regained Jinzhou, Haizhou, and Gaizhou in southern Liaoning. , Fuzhou, Guangningwei, Liaozhongwei, Liaoyang, regained the lost land for thousands of miles, and severely injured Jiannu's vitality.

Because of Cheng Shijie, Emperor Chongzhen appeared to have won great martial arts. In the next hundred years, he might get a temple title of "Wu".

However, this matter is not important now, what is important is that Zhu Weiti still has one last procedure to go before getting married, and there is only a maid beside Zhu Weiti...

But there are many people around her, but they are all older court ladies.

Concubine Li Kang got up, and took out a lacquer box from the hidden compartment under the bed. She opened the lacquer box, revealing a golden light: "This is the treasure at the bottom of the box in this palace. I originally wanted to buy some dowry for Wei Ti... go buy it." A few girls from trial marriages."

Zhu Weiti didn't have suitable people around him, so he needed people around Concubine Li Kang. Concubine Li Kang didn't have anyone, and only Empress Zhou was in charge.

"If Hai Guogong has no problems, he would be considered a good home. If not, even if I risk my life, I can't just watch Wei Ti as a widow!"

Just when Concubine Li Kang was about to bribe the court lady for a trial marriage, Cheng Shijie and Emperor Chongzhen got drunk.

Of course, as the cadre of the alcohol test, Cheng Shijie's alcohol capacity is still acceptable, he knows when to get drunk and when not to get drunk.

Watching Emperor Chongzhen persuade him to drink one after another, Cheng Shijie knew that Emperor Chongzhen needed him to get drunk.

So, after three glasses of wine, Cheng Shijie's tongue grew bigger, and he became a little unscrupulous, pulling Emperor Chongzhen to ask for help.

This shocked Gao Qiqian and Cao Huachun into a cold sweat.

Emperor Chongzhen was not drunk, but very sober: "Cheng Qing, you came to the capital alone. You already have a house, so I won't reward you, but it's impossible if you don't have many people around!"

Hearing this, Cheng Shijie suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Is this Chongzhen wanting to plant eyeliner around him?
This matter could not be agreed to, so he deliberately took advantage of the strength of alcohol, waving his arms vigorously, squinting his drunken eyes and shouted: "No...no...no need, I have...some...someone...ordering me!"

Emperor Chongzhen continued to laugh and said, "I...you didn't understand what I said. Now... Jiannu was defeated. Don't think about getting over it in a few years. It's time for you to start a family. When will you marry Le'an!"

Only then did Cheng Shijie understand that Emperor Chongzhen was only urging the marriage.

But it's not appropriate to use dragging words, just marry as you want, whether or not to have a bridal chamber, it's up to you.

"what?"

"How about another drink?"

Cheng Shijie quickly picked up the empty wine glass, raised his head and drank it. After drinking for a long time, he realized that there was no wine: "Bar!"

"Full up, full up!"

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "How about my suggestion? The sixth day of the first lunar month is an auspicious day!"

Cheng Shijie looked at the historian beside him and recorded: "In the sixth year of Chongzhen, on the sixth day of the first lunar month, it is auspicious, easy to marry, Duke Hai Guo proposed to him, and he agreed..."

I'm stupid, this is...

While Cheng Shijie and Emperor Chongzhen were drinking one cup after another, a young official wearing a seventh-rank official uniform put his arm around the shoulder of Zhang Jin, the only son of Taikang Bo Zhang Guoji, drinking one cup after another, enjoying himself.

When the wine was full, the seventh-rank official sighed: "Brother Zhang, I only hate a certain lowly official who speaks lightly. If not, I will definitely seek justice for Brother Zhang!"

Playboys like Zhang Jin are actually not stupid. They all know very well who can be offended and who cannot be offended, just like when he was provoked by someone and went to trouble Cheng Shijie, but Cheng Shijie hanged him For three days, his father, Zhang Guoji, spent more than [-] taels of silver for peace.

This incident also reminded Zhang Jin that there were many people in the capital that he could not afford to mess with.

If the official didn't mention it, Zhang Jin would have almost forgotten his conflict with Cheng Shijie, but now that he brought it up, especially when Zhang Jin was half drunk, as the saying goes, drunk people are cowardly, he started bragging: " I, Zhang Jin, who would dare..."

"Brother Zhang, have you forgotten Cheng Shijie's revenge for humiliation?"

"(⊙o⊙)..."

Zhang Jin was very upset, isn't it that which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted?Not to mention that it is the Chongzhen Dynasty, even in the Tianqi Dynasty, his sister Zhang Yan is the queen of the dynasty, and he can't afford to provoke a general like Cheng Shijie who holds a heavy army.

"Brother Zhang, you're right. A hero doesn't take advantage of immediate losses. You can't afford Cheng Shijie..."

"Who said I can't afford it!"

"What did you do!"

"I……"

Zhang Jin really didn't know how to deal with Cheng Shijie, after all, he had no power or power, he was just a small general, even if Tai Kangbo was number one in the capital, who would really look at him?

The official whispered in Zhang Jin's ear.

Zhang Jin looked shocked: "You...you..."

"Scared!"

"I'm not afraid, it's just my sister..."

"If Cheng Shijie met Queen Zhang, would he dare to commit the crime?"

The official put his arms around Zhang Jin and said: "You just need to do this... Guaranteed that Cheng Shijie can't afford to walk around, even if his family is not confiscated, he will be dismissed from office and go to the noble. As long as he loses his official status, what do you want to do with him? Your mood?"

If it was a normal situation, Zhang Jin would indeed be able to tell what was good and what was a lie, but now he is really drunk.

……

Zhengyangmen, Wenfu of Tianjingfang.Occupying most of the alley, it is considered one of the best mansions in the capital.
In terms of scale, this house is similar to the Shenyang Forbidden City, occupying nearly a hundred acres.The decoration is extremely luxurious.

This mansion was originally the mansion of Zheng Guotai, the younger brother of Concubine Zheng. When Concubine Zheng was so powerful, he lived in the first rank and served as the left governor of the military.However, after the death of Emperor Wanli, the imperial concubine Zheng Huang no longer had power. During the Chongzhen Dynasty, this house was taken back and given to Wen Tiren.

Zheng Guotai's mansion is not like a century-old wealthy family. As long as it is a century-old wealthy family, the traces of nouveau riche have already been washed away, like a wealthy family and nobility, integrated into the bones.

This house shows the temperament of a nouveau riche. It is a huge rockery with a height of more than three feet and a circumference of several tens of feet. The rocks on this rockery may be regarded as ordinary stones at first glance. It is either Xiu jade, Dushan jade, or Lantian jade, with agate and He Guoyu mixed in between. On this piled up rockery, there are green grass, blooming flowers, gurgling water, birds chirping and chirping. A real mountain is no different.

At the end of the alley is the back garden of the Wen Mansion. A small gate was opened. A seventh-rank official climbed down from the carriage. The subordinate took a lantern to illuminate the stone-paved alleyway under his feet, and walked to the small gate of the back garden with a "boom, boom, boom" A few taps.

The moonlight is light and the shadows of the branches are slanting. In the west corner of the garden, there is a carved wooden warm pavilion. Wen Tiren is sitting on the soft bed of the warm pavilion. his side.The beautiful woman watched the officials approaching, and left with her accompanying maid and mother-in-law, leaving the Nuan Pavilion for their men to discuss matters.

"I rushed to the city in the middle of the night, what's the rush?" Wen Ti Renzheng sat up and looked calmly into the eyes of the seventh-rank official.

"The one from the Taikangbo Mansion has been tricked today."

Wen Tiren smiled lightly and said, "There is only one bait, whoever likes to bite, who will bite it?"

Wen Tiren grabbed a chestnut fried with sugar from the table, peeled off the shell and chewed it in his mouth. He stared at the seventh-rank official: "You don't know anything, and you haven't done anything."

"Yes, the students understand!"

Wen Tiren sighed and said: "You are also concerned about chaos. Cheng Shijie is not an easy person to deal with. After all, he has given Jin a face, so don't touch him for the time being. The one from Taikangbo Mansion is not a person who can make things happen. It's not good to get too involved, you understand!"

"Students understand!"

……

Dongzhimen, Chengfu.

In the backyard of Cheng Shijie's mansion, when Cheng Shijie woke up, there was a messy noise outside.

He looked at the sky, the sky outside was still leaden gray, and then looked at his phone, it was less than eight o'clock, he returned to the later world last night, and it was almost a little later when he came back again.

After taking a bubble bath, it was close to three o'clock when I fell asleep, and I slept for less than five hours. Cheng Shijie obviously didn't sleep well, and said a little displeased: "What's going on?"

Luo Shi hurriedly said: "Slave, go and let people have a look!"

After a short time, Luo Shihui reported: "Duke, there is Jin Yiwei outside the door, saying... say..."

"say what?"

Luo said: "They said that Empress Zhang is missing and they are looking for her!"

"Look for it!"

Cheng Shijie said disapprovingly: "Is it possible that he is in my house?"

Luo said with difficulty: "They said yes!"

Cheng Shijie suddenly thought of the crux of the problem: "What did you say, Empress Zhang?"

"That's right!"

Luo said: "Empress Zhang went back to Taikangbo Mansion to visit her relatives yesterday. She left while lighting the lamps. The palace gate was closed, but she didn't return to the palace. This morning, Jin Yiwei patrolled the streets and found that Empress Zhang's carriage was lost in the back alley of Cheng Mansion...the groom The coachman, the accompanying Jin Yiwei, and the retinue, more than a dozen people are missing!"

"Can planting be more obvious?"

Cheng Shijie got up to change his clothes, and Luo stepped forward to change Cheng Shijie's clothes.

Not long after, Jin Yiwei Zhenfu Liu Qiao brought Jin Yiwei to the front hall.

"Meet Hai Guogong!"

Cheng Shijie asked, "What's going on?"

"Queen Zhang is missing!"

"If you are missing, go find it. What do you mean by coming to my house?"

Cheng Shijie pointed at Liu Qiao and said angrily: "How obvious is this planting? Don't tell me, you can't see it. Do you think Cheng's house is too small to fit a carriage?"

Liu Qiao was really speechless.

Taikangbo Mansion reported to the officials that Empress Zhang disappeared after visiting relatives. This case is full of weirdness. Outside the gate of Taikangbo Mansion, a broken crossbow arrow was left behind, with the words Ning Haiwei Guard Bureau engraved on it. Broken Arrow is from Ning Haijun.

But the question is, Cheng Shijie is full enough to touch Emperor Chongzhen's Ni Lin?

Liu Qiao also understood that there were people who poured dirty water on Cheng Shijie in this matter, but the problem was that these people were so courageous that they dared to use Queen Zhang as a trick.

Liu Qiao said seriously: "This was discovered at the scene!"

Cheng Shijie glanced at it and said with a faint smile: "It was made by the Ning Naval Crossbow Office. What's the problem? This kind of crossbow produced more than 200 million pieces. In the First World War in Liaodong, the Dongjiang Army and the Guan Ning Army each received five pieces of crossbows. More than [-] sticks, what can it explain?"

Liu Qiao smiled wryly, "I'm sorry for disturbing you!"

Liu Qiao and the Jinyiwei were about to leave.

"Wait a minute!"

Cheng Shijie said with a smile: "If you don't let you search the house today, I won't be able to tell clearly with my mouth all over my body."

"Have you ever thought about it, if there is an accident, there are unexpected things in your house!"

"This is your business!"

Cheng Shijie yawned, got up and walked towards the backyard: "Search if you want, please!"

Jin Yiwei beside Liu Qiao asked, "Lord Zhen Fu, what should we do now?"

Liu Qiao gritted his teeth and said, "Search!"

Not long after, several bloody clothes were found in the hay pile in the front yard of Cheng Shijie's mansion, which were the clothes of Queen Zhang's attendant.
