The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 53 Mandarin Duck Papa

In the middle of the night, in the East Palace, Zhu Youtang sat behind the desk, looking at the memorial.

Zhu Youtang is a workaholic, very much like Taizu and Chengzu.Since Emperor Chenghua quit the court and he took over the political affairs, he had to deal with memorials and official documents every day until midnight.

Chang Feng knelt down in front of Zhu Youtang's desk.There is a brocade box in front of him.In the brocade box are two 50 taels of silver ingots given to him by the imperial censor of Xiiniaodu.

Zhu Youtang put down the memorial in his hand, and glanced at the two silver ingots: "Ni Duyuan is such a big handicraft. Rewarding a big Han general is a hundred taels."

"It's hard to turn down someone's kindness, so don't be polite, just accept it."

Chang Feng hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness. I think the money is dirty and unclean. I wish I could throw it in Gong's room."

Zhu Youtang laughed out loud: "Wynn said that you ransacked the house in Jinyiwei for three years and handled countless silver."

"I ask you, give you two silver ingots, can you tell which one is dirty and which one is clean?"

Chang Feng was speechless: "This can't be done."

Zhu Youtang said: "As long as the ill-gotten wealth is used for righteous things, it will be well deserved. You can use this 100 taels of silver to do good things."

Chang Feng said: "Yes, I will bear in mind His Highness' teaching."

Just then, an old woman in her 50s walked in.

The old woman was dressed in plain clothes.The maids following behind her were all luxuriously dressed.

She is Zhu Youtang's biggest protector in the harem, mother of Emperor Chenghua, and Empress Dowager Zhou.

Chang Feng hurriedly kowtowed: "I pay homage to the Empress Dowager."

Empress Dowager Zhou made a "get up" gesture.The maid reminded Chang Feng: "General, please get up."

After Chang Feng got up, he made a mistake.He was about to leave the bedroom and avoid the female relatives in the palace.

The Empress Dowager Zhou glanced at him: "What are you going to do? The prince must always be guarded by a big Han general. This is the rule set by the Ai family."

Chang Feng stayed in the hall.

The Empress Dowager Zhou looked at Zhu Youtang lovingly: "I knew that my grandson would work hard until late at night. The emperor's grandmother asked the dining room to serve you a few balls for supper."

In front of the Empress Dowager Zhou, Zhu Youtang was no longer that mature young prince who knew people well and was more like a child.

Zhu Youtang smiled and asked, "What stuffing?"

Empress Dowager Zhou smiled and said, "Of course it's your favorite stuffing of walnuts, sugar, and roses."

The maid opened the food box and put a bowl of glutinous rice balls on the table.

Zhu Youtang ate deliciously.

After eating, Zhu Youtang said: "Grandmother, I plan to accept Zhengfei."

The Empress Dowager Zhou narrowed her happy eyes: "The great-grandson should have accepted the concubine long ago! I should hug my great-grandson sooner."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Zhou's expression changed: "Hmph, if it wasn't for that vicious woman in Kunning Palace who made trouble, you should have been accepted as a concubine when you were 15 years old."

In the harem, I am afraid that only the Queen Mother Zhou dared to call Concubine Wan Gui "that vicious woman".

In fact, the Empress Dowager Zhou and Concubine Wan Gui are both 58 at the same age.

Don't look at the Queen Mother Zhou as a kind old grandmother in front of Zhu Youtang.When she was young, she was not a good stubble.

In terms of meticulous scheming and vicious tactics, she is not inferior to Concubine Wan Gui.

More than 30 years ago, she even conspired to replace Baozong's favorite Empress Qian and become the head of the harem.Later, due to the deep love between Queen Qian and Bao Zong and his wife, it was unsuccessful.

Only magic can defeat magic.Only such a ruthless character in the harem can protect Zhu Youtang for 12 years under the direct and dark arrows of Concubine Wan Gui.

Empress Dowager Zhou suddenly remembered something, she took out a neatly folded silk handkerchief from the sachet tied around her waist.

Empress Dowager Zhou showed Sipa in front of Zhu Youtang.A pair of mandarin ducks are embroidered on the silk handkerchief.

Zhu Youtang asked: "This is?"

Empress Dowager Zhou said: "This is the mandarin duck handkerchief that Emperor Yingzong gave me when I entered the palace. I have been carrying it with me for more than 40 years."

"Today, I will give this mandarin duck handkerchief to my grandson. If my grandson chooses someone's daughter to be the princess, I will give her the mandarin duck handkerchief as a token of love."

Zhu Youtang took the mandarin duck handkerchief.

A strange case and a political tide triggered by a mandarin duck parrot are about to be staged.

Empress Dowager Zhou left the East Palace.

Zhu Youtang sat back in front of the desk again and immersed himself in reviewing the memorial.Perhaps he was so excited that he was about to ask for a wife that he couldn't sleep at all.

Under the flickering palace lanterns, he reviewed the memorials until dawn.

Zhu Youtang reviewed the memorial all night, but Chang Feng didn't find anyone to exchange the value.

Nowadays, I don't know how many people in the court want to stay with the prince all night, but they don't have any connections.

During this night, Chang Feng saw a diligent prince.

He thought to himself: It is worth it for me to risk my head to switch the letter.In addition to saving my own life, it also benefited the common people.

The future Ming Dynasty needs such an emperor who is diligent in governing and caring for the people.

It's Mao time.Zhu Youtang stretched his waist: "It's time to go to court. Chang Feng, it's hard for you to stay up all night with Gu."

Two quarters later, Zhu Youtang appeared in front of Chengtian Gate on time.

The Imperial Gate Audition begins.

The first person to come out to play was actually Ni Jinxian, the imperial censor of the Bird Washing Capital who was known for being a mute in the early court!
Ni Jinxian said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has turned eighteen this year. It is reasonable to recruit a concubine, so as to spread branches and leaves for Zhu Ming's royal family!"

"The minister and the [-] censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate jointly signed the contract. I request the emperor's permission to order Beizhili to select women from good families for the emperor to choose."

Chang Feng was secretly shocked: this Ni Jinxian is not so efficient in order to be rich and prosperous!
In just one night, more than 100 censors were contacted?
Heh, usually the official affairs of the imperial court can be delayed as long as they can be delayed, and pushed as long as they can be pushed back.When it comes to your own wealth, your hands and feet are very fast.

Zhu Youtang also had the same idea, and cursed in his heart: the action of the most shameless person in the imperial court is quite fast.Oh, for the sake of wealth!

He cursed the most in his heart, but Zhu Youtang couldn't say that in his mouth.He said: "This matter is of great importance. Rong Gu will forward the memorial to the emperor for decision."

Chang Feng suddenly remembered something, and suddenly had a hope in his heart.

Let Beizhili select women from good families, and the official in charge of the audition is the chief envoy—Liu Bingyi.

That guy Liu Bingyi will definitely put Xiaoyan on the candidate list!
When choosing a concubine for the prince, the age limit is thirteen to sixteen.Xiaoyan is 21.

With Liu Bingyi's authority, it's not difficult to secretly change Xiaoyan's age to sixteen.His kind of person who wholeheartedly pursues to climb the dragon and become the phoenix will not let go of this good opportunity to become the royal family.

However, I, Changfeng, know Xiaoyan's real age.If Liu Bingyi changes her age for her, he will be called a bully when he grows up!

At that time, I had grasped Liu Bingyi's handle.Are you still afraid that Liu Bingyi will not submit obediently and marry his daughter to me?

After the morning court, Zhu Youtang brought the document jointly signed by the Metropolitan Procuratorate to Kunning Palace to ask to see Emperor Chenghua.Chang Feng followed behind him.

That's right, Emperor Chenghua didn't live in the Qianqing Palace at all this month, and directly lived in the Kunning Palace, where he was often accompanied by Concubine Wan Gui.

Emperor Chenghua didn't even bother to see Zhu Youtang's face.Zhu Youtang had no choice but to ask Shang Ming to present the memorandum on his behalf.

He himself knelt at the palace gate, waiting for the oral order.

Not long after, Shang Ming came out: "Your Highness, pass on the emperor's dictation——your mother and concubine have become so ill. Do you still want to choose a concubine? This matter is postponed!"

After delivering the message, Shang Ming turned his head and left.Zhu Youtang was left in a mess in the cold wind.

Mother concubine?Wan Zhen'er is a fucking concubine!My mother and concubine only have one, surnamed Ji not Wan!She let Wan Zhen'er get killed!

However, the emperor disagreed, the concubine couldn't be chosen, so she had to give up.

Chang Feng, who was kneeling behind Zhu Youtang, suddenly became wise in a hurry!

Chang Feng reminded Zhu Youtang in a low voice: "Your Highness, you chose a concubine to make Concubine Wan Gui happy!"
