The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 377 Lu Bing
Yang Tinghe gave him a peach, and Emperor Zhengde rewarded him with a plum.

Emperor Zhengde said: "There has always been a saying in the court that heavenly officials cannot be appointed for a long time. In my opinion, the chief assistant cannot be appointed for a long time. The richest man, Liang Chu, has been working hard and making great achievements since he took over Li Dongyang's appointment."

"Being the first assistant will offend others. The people below will inevitably have some comments about him. For his sake, I ordered Yang Tinghe to be the first assistant, and he was appointed the second assistant. I specially gave him the title of Right Pillar."

Yang Tinghe was a well-deserved civilian leader. His appointment as chief assistant was widely expected. Even Liang Chu thought it was reasonable for him to be replaced by Yang Tinghe.

Besides, when Emperor Zhengde slapped Tianzao, Liang Chu was very happy and shouted: "Old minister, thank you for your kindness!" At this point, he imitated the old flatterer Chang Feng and shouted: " Your Majesty, O Holy Might!”

Chang Feng is the one who holds his head high today to represent the nobles. Emperor Zhengde will naturally not treat him badly.

Emperor Zhengde said: "The Ministry of Rites and the Zongren Mansion are responsible for the wedding of Chang Qingyun, the grandson of the Marquis of Jin'an."

Only when the clan members get married will the clan government get involved.

Emperor Zhengde directly gave Chang Qingyun the treatment of a descendant of the clan.

Chang Qingyun now has the rank of fifth-grade civil official and is among the early dynasty officials. The thirteen-year-old boy stuck out his butt and knelt down on the ground: "I thank the Lord for your kindness!"

When the court came down, all the civil servants looked like they were mourning for their heirs. They knew full well that depriving civilian officials of their military power was only the first step in Emperor Zhengde's attempt to weaken civilian officials' rights.

What an official values ​​most is power.

Going to court this morning was really more uncomfortable for them than digging up the ancestral graves of the civil servants.

Looking at the three generations of the Chang family, they are walking side by side, smiling and proud.

The civil servants hated this family so much that their teeth itched.

Chang Feng didn't care about the civil officials' hatred towards him. He helped Xie Qian enter the cabinet. What did you get in exchange? It's Xie Qian's ingratitude.

The roots of the Chang family are in the palace. As the emperor's domestic slave, Chang had to stand by the emperor's side in times of trouble. Therefore, no matter how the political situation changes, civil servants will regard Chang as a thorn in their side.

It's going to rain and the widow wants to pick eggplants, let them do it.

Chang Ponu said: "The Ministry of Rites and the Zongren Mansion are responsible for Qingyun's wedding. Dad, our family can save a lot of money now."

"Ping'er was talking about it yesterday. She planned to hire two hundred helpers to help with the work in the mansion during the wedding days. Now, the Ministry of Rites and the Clan Mansion will send people."

You Jingwu from the military attaché class came over and said, "Father, the emperor sent people to the military camp yesterday to issue an order. I was promoted to the right army commander Qianshi, in charge of the four brave and four mighty battalions, a total of eight battalions."

Chang Ponu was extremely surprised when he heard this. The 12th Regiment Battalion was the elite of the Ming Army. The emperor actually gave two-thirds of the troops and horses in the regiment to Jingwu?

Giving it to Jingwu is equivalent to giving it to the Chang family!
Nowadays, the Chang family really wants to have power, to have titles, to have officials, and to have power.

Chang Feng laughed and said, "Hey, Jing Wu. You have been promoted to the governor general, and you will be honored as 'handsome man' from now on. Our Chang family now has two handsome men in one discipline."

"Your father has a soul in heaven and will be happy for you."

You Jingwu's biological father, You Tianjue, was only a guard and governor until his death. There is a whole six levels difference from You Jingwu.

You Jingwu said: "Sigh. The official position is getting bigger and bigger, and I can't spare the time to go to Yongning, Fujian Province to visit my father's grave and lay incense."

Chang Feng said: "There must be a chance."

After speaking, he lowered his voice and said: "The power of all the guards in the south is in the hands of the governors. Jingri has issued an order to seize the power of the governors. The emperor will definitely send a reliable person to Jiangnan to carry out the order and hand over the troops."

"You should go to the south. I can mention this to the emperor."

You Jingwu said: "It's best if I can go to Fujian. We can handle business and private matters together and visit my father's grave."

After the morning court, the three generations of the Chang family went in four different directions. Chang Feng went to Jinyiwei, Chang Ponu went to Hubu, You Jingwu went to the Governor's Mansion, and Chang Qingyun returned to the palace to accompany Emperor Zhengde.

Chang Feng returns to Jinyiwei. Qian Ning and Jiang Bin led all the brothers to kneel down to Chang Feng: "Congratulations to the Marquis for receiving the reward!"

Chang Feng smiled and said: "I heard that the emperor asked the Ministry of Rites and the Zongren Mansion to handle my family Qingyun's wedding? By then, everyone from Weili Commander-in-Chief and above will come to my house, and the food and wine of Guanglu Temple will be free of charge."

Now Chang Feng's brother-in-law Huang Yuanzheng serves as the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple. He will naturally ask his cooks to show their special skills, and will definitely send the best cooks and the best wine to his grandnephew's wedding banquet.

Qian Ning and Jiang Bin have a principle for treating Chang Feng in the past two years. He was very respectful in public, but secretly he strictly abided by Emperor Zhengde's will, keeping Beizhen Fusi under firm control and preventing Chang Feng from getting involved.

Chang Feng's old brothers, such as Basha and Wang Miaoxin, are now in Nansi.

How smart is Chang Feng? He knew this was Emperor Zhengde's intention and tried not to interfere with Fusi's affairs in Beizhen.

Qian Ning said: "Brothers pooled their money and gave the Marquis a gold plaque. The Jiao family's gold shop in the north of the city is working hard."

Chang Feng asked: "Oh? What is the inscription on the golden plaque? Who inscribed it?"

Qian Ning replied: "It's the five characters of 'Jinyi Zhenshanhe'."

Chang Feng waved his hands quickly: "No, no! Who am I? I'm just the emperor's domestic slave. How can I match the word 'zhen'? I can't accept this gold plaque."

Jiang Bin said from the side: "I think it's better to change 'township' to 'protect'?"

Chang Feng still shook his head: "That won't work. Stop fighting Jin Bian. Return the original amount of the money collected to the brothers." Jiang Bin said: "This is the wishes of the brothers. Lord Hou, just accept it. .”

Chang Feng said, "I have accepted the gift. Don't give it away. I don't dare to hang it up if you give it away. The civil servants are staring at me like black eyes now. Why bother to follow the truth?"

"This time, we, the brothers of Jinyiwei, will take advantage of Qingyun's wedding to have a good gathering. I would also like to thank my brothers for their help to me over the years."

Qian Ning said: "Then I will make the decision for the brothers and not give the gold plaque to Master Chang."

Chang Feng said: "Brothers, it is the greatest gift for anyone to come to my house to drink wedding wine. I have set a rule that no one is allowed to send congratulatory gifts or silver on the wedding day."

"Whoever gives it to me will just let my incorruptible censor bite their trouser legs!"

Qian Ning smiled and said: "Haha, the dogs of the Marquis' family are more effective than those genuine rotten Confucian censors from the Procuratorate."

Jiang Bin echoed: "That's right, that's right. Those censors are benevolent and moral all day long, but they are full of men stealing and women prostitutes, and they are greedy."

"The governor below has committed a crime, and the censor wants to participate. Now we have to send someone to Beijing with a gift of more than 30,000 taels to silence the censor and buy back the impeachment memorial."

"The prefect is ten thousand taels, and the county magistrate is five thousand taels. The price is clearly marked."

"Beizhen Fusi knows all about these things. We just don't want to argue with them."

Channing coughed.

Jiang Bin understood and stopped mentioning the incident in Beizhen Fusi: "Anyway, this time we listen to Mr. Chang Shuai and just eat and drink for free when we come to the house. Just go there without any courtesy."

Let’s talk about the Xingxian Palace in Anlu Prefecture, thousands of miles away in the south of the Yangtze River.

Two children were flying kites on the grass in the backyard. The eleven-year-old is Zhu Houcong, the eldest son of Prince Xing.

The eight-year-old is Lu Bing, the son of Lu Song, the commander of the Royal Guards.

Zhu Houcong and Lu Bing grew up eating the same woman. The two are as close as brothers.

Lu Bing said: "Your Majesty, the wind has finally picked up. I'll run with the kite and you put out the line."

Zhu Houcong nodded: "Okay!"

Two children were running happily on the grass. Finally, the kite rose and soared in the blue sky and white clouds. Zhu Houcong said with a smile: "We flew the kite so high today."

Lu Bing touched his belly: "Your Majesty, I'm hungry."

Zhu Houcong casually threw a cloth bag from his waist to Lu Bing: "Brother Bing, these are Ruixingzhai's snacks. You can eat them."

Lu Bing took the cloth bag, took out a delicate snack and ate it happily.

Suddenly, Xing Wang Zhu Youqi came over.

When the father saw his son playing around, instead of scolding him, he sat next to Zhu Houcong and watched his son fly the kite high in the sky.

King Xing is not a Jiwa party. I never force my son to study. He believes that children should do children's things. Forcing your son to study all day long will kill his character.

King Xing smiled and said: "Hong'er, how high do you think the sky is?"

Zhu Houcong replied: "Back to my father, it is said in the "Three and Five Calendars" that heaven and earth are ninety thousand miles away."

Zhu Houcong's teacher usually did not teach him much orthodox Confucian classics, but Huang Lao Taoism and Zhuangzi.

King Xing smiled and said: "But there is another saying in Guangya, which says that the sky is twenty million sixteen thousand eight hundred and eighty one miles high."

King Xing turned around and asked Lu Bing: "Lu Bing, how high do you think the sky is?"

Lu Bingxiang thought for a while and replied: "As great as His Highness's kindness to the Lu family!"

wonderful! What a wonderful answer! Although Lu Bing is only nine years old, his ability to flatter is as good as Chang Feng, an old man in the capital!

King Xing laughed loudly when he heard this: "Okay, well said! Then I will make the sky a little higher. I have a dozen golden beans in this bag, and I will reward you."

Lu Bing quickly raised his head and kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your grace! Your Highness is a thousand years old!"

While they were talking, Lu Bing's father, Lu Song, came over.

King Xing was a vassal king who was very aware of current affairs. The guards had already been voluntarily returned to the imperial court. Lu Song, the commander of the army, only had dozens of honor guard warriors under his command.

Lu Song held up his hands and said, "Your Highness. The famous doctor Xu Hu who is looking for you has arrived at the house. He is waiting for you in the hall to diagnose your pulse."

King Xing's health has not been very good in recent years. Suffering from various diseases.

King Xing coughed and tried to get up from the grass but couldn't.

Lu Bing was very discerning and immediately took Prince Xing's arm.
