The Qinghe County Lord of the Red Chamber

Now let's say that the Empress Dowager Shang has some plans after hearing what Shang Chanchan said about the Lin family.

After the court the next day, the Empress Dowager Shang sent Baoninghou to Fengjing Palace with a decree.

After Shang Duo asked for peace, the Empress Dowager Shang mentioned the royal family: "The four major families in this generation only have Prince Teng who is capable. The official position of Yingjiedushi is the important task of defending the capital."

Although women in the harem of this dynasty are not allowed to participate in politics, but the Queen Mother of Shang talks with her younger brother in private, and no one who doesn't want to be brained will come to persuade the Queen Mother not to talk about government affairs.

Shang Duo nodded and said: "Exactly. Your Majesty would like Xie Yuce to take this position. It's just that the military power is different from the civil official position."

"Since the old sage acquiesced in His Majesty's sending me to the position of Prime Minister, I am afraid that His Majesty will not allow His Majesty to move Wang Ziteng in a short time."

"It's not that in September last year, Wang Ziteng was promoted to the control of the nine provinces, and he was ordered to go to Beijing to investigate borders, which added credit. Besides, although others have been out of Beijing for a month or two, the power of the Beijing camp is still held here. It can be seen how much the old sage trusted him."

The Supreme Emperor trusted Wang Ziteng, just like today's trust in Xie Yuchu.

Although it is said that there is one emperor and one courtier, the emperor's arm cannot twist the Taishanghuang's thigh, so he has to bear it for the time being.

Even if the Supreme Emperor abdicated, he also wanted to be the Emperor, but he didn't intend to be an old man who was put aside and had no right to speak.

Empress Dowager Shang smiled: "There are not many direct heirs of the Wang family, even if some are ineffective, they have not caused any major troubles, and Wang Ziteng himself is said to be very cautious as an official, he does not look like someone from the four major families. .”

Shang Duo thought for a while and said: "That's right, Wang Ziteng is really slippery. He has a very good relationship with the four kings and eight princes and other veteran families, and his popularity in the army is not bad. According to Xie Yu's book, they checked Even things like buying and selling official positions and bending the law for personal gain are mostly posts from the Rongguo Mansion on the surface, although Wang Ziteng's face is in it, it's not easy to convict him."

Although it is said that a single tree is hard to support, there is another saying that a single tree makes a forest.

In terms of real power, Wang Ziteng is the leader of the four major families, and even the two historians can't compare with him.

Wang Ziteng is indeed capable of supporting the increasingly desolate four major families on his own.

If they were all first-class in Rongguo Mansion, the emperor would not have to spend so much time on the four kings and eight princes. It is precisely because there are such characters as Wang Ziteng that it is difficult for the emperor to do anything.

The Empress Dowager still smiled slightly: "Forget it, talking about the Wang family's words, I just want to tell you something."

So he told Shang Duo about Daiyu that Shang Chanchan had said.

Upon hearing this, Shang Duo said, "Lin Ruhai really has a good temper. He has been bullied to the point of view, and he is still his filial son-in-law!"

Of course he didn't know that Lin Ruhai also wanted to turn his back on him, or that Daiyu stopped his father.

Shang Duo only thought that Lin Ruhai was too obedient and filial, unwilling to be disrespectful to his mother-in-law, and would rather knock out his teeth and swallow his own blood.

So I thought to myself: What kind of official is this good-tempered person? Forget it if you become a monk. It just happens to cut meat to feed eagles.

It's all because Shang Duo, although he seems to abide by the rules and righteousness, actually only abides by the rules he is willing to abide by.

And the most important rule in his heart is not to suffer losses, at least not to suffer losses in vain, and sooner or later he has to get back twice as much.

At this time, he only smiled at the Queen Mother: "Your Majesty specially called me to tell you about this matter, and I will understand your holy will. It is nothing more than using my hand to do this matter."

"But speaking of it, even if the Wang family did not do this, I would not let it go. It was a gift from my daughter. How could others take it away without permission? What's more, it happened to be the Wang family. It was a godsend, it was them I’m ashamed to be stupid and send it up.”

The queen mother only waved her hand: "What are you talking about, what sacred meaning do you understand? Don't say it as if this palace ordered you to do something. Go away, don't make me angry here."

Shang Duo still lingered and gave the Queen Mother a look that both you and I understand.

Empress Dowager Shang made him laugh, and only called Bizhu to chase him away.

Three days later, it was the day when the courtiers rested and took a bath.

Shang Duo got up early that day.

Jiang and his husband and wife have known each other best for many years.I knew what he was going to do, so I prepared all the court clothes for him.

Seeing that Shang Duo was more energetic than before going to court, he couldn't help but pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Master, this temperament has not changed for many years."

"I still remember, it was more than ten years ago. The eldest son of Changping uncle's mansion got drunk and made a fuss in Yubao Pavilion to buy a set of Eight Immortals wall vases that our mansion had ordered a long time ago. Master also Refused to swallow this breath, went directly to the door to ask for it, and everyone knew about it. Today's scene reminds me of that year."

Shang Duo smiled, held his wife's hand and said, "It's not been 17 years. I ordered that set of wall vases for my wife, how could someone else snatch them away!"

Jiang's face was slightly red, and he just took his hand and said: "Forget it, since you want to go out to find someone bad luck, you should go earlier, and don't drag me."

But my heart is still happy and sweet.

The merchant Jiang's family is also a family friend. Ten days after she married Shang Duo, it was just in time for her grandmother's [-]th birthday.

At that time, before Jiang's family was released from Beijing, Shang Duo accompanied her back to her natal home to celebrate her grandmother's birthday. The first time the two listened to an opera together, there was a scene of Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea.

Coincidentally, on the way back, they passed by Yubao Pavilion, and the two of them fell in love with a set of lifelike Eight Immortals ornaments as soon as they went in. They just thought it was fate, so they bought it back at that time.

Since then, Shang Duo has brought back some decorations related to the Eight Immortals every year to please Jiang's family.

That year, Uncle Changping's family almost snatched it away. How could he be willing to come to the door to ask for it in a dignified manner, without saving any face for Uncle Changping's family.

After sobering up, Mr. Wu was severely punished by Earl Wu.It was also from then on that everyone in the capital knew that this son of the Baoning Hou Mansion was not easy to mess with!

Now this son has already become Lord Marquis, but he is about to come out of the mountain again.

At this time, Shang Duo saw his wife withdrawing his hand, but he wanted to come closer even more, so he asked Qu: "Don't you understand my heart? How can it be called dragging for no reason? The wall vase is made for your wife, just like our daughter common name."

Jiang's boudoir name has the word "month" in it.That's why Shang Chanchan got this name, which was taken from Chanjuan's meaning of the moon.

Sure enough, Jiang's face became redder and feverish, and he just spat: "Forget it, my son and daughter are full of eyes, and you are just such a clumsy tongue. Which eye can I see?"

Seeing that Shang Duo was still talking about the past, Jiang hurriedly pushed him away: "Let's go. I don't understand you yet! It's just because I want to trouble someone that I got motivated. It's a grievance to be your Lord Marquis honestly all these years You have lost your domineering temperament! Fortunately, the sons will not follow you, otherwise the world will have many women who are as miserable as me!"

She said these words with a smile on the corner of her lips, it can be seen that a woman's heart is devoted to irony.

Shang Duo didn't point it out, just laughed loudly: "It can be seen that Madam is annoyed, and she came to talk about you and me directly, and she didn't even call out to Master Sheng. Forget it, I dare not recruit you, so let's go."

There is a rule in this dynasty that all officials can ring gongs to clear the way when they go out.When a duke travels, in addition to ringing gongs and opening umbrellas, there are city soldiers to clear the way and drive away idlers.

It’s just that the east of Beijing is rich and the west is rich, and the people who can live in the west of the city are officials and wealthy families. Except for extra formal visits, everyone generally travels lightly and only uses a carriage within the specification, and their own servants open the way in advance.

After all, it is the capital city, crouching tiger, hidden dragon under the feet of the emperor, it is better to keep a low profile.

Shang Duo is not very high-profile on weekdays.

But today, they deliberately put on a full-scale posture, and really used the city soldiers to clear the way, and those who blew the gongs and opened the umbrellas set off. With the addition of their own chariots and servants, the whole team was mighty and mighty for more than a hundred meters.

Since it is a holiday, many government officials are naturally at home.

Although it is impossible for them to stand at the gate and watch the excitement by themselves.But those gates outside the gates of the various mansions, seeing Baoning Hou's magnificent past, do they have any reason not to report back?

Therefore, among the people in Shiting, Jiuting knew that Marquis Baoning was going on an official trip, but he didn't know where he was going.

There were also some old people who remembered what happened to Uncle Changping back then, and thought to themselves that this Marquis might be looking for trouble.

Especially the Wu family who has inherited the title now, the hairs stand on end when he thinks of the board that fell on him back then.

He hurriedly checked his own children, for fear that their family scored twice and offended Lord Baoning.

The onlookers will not mention it for the time being, but now they only say that Wang Ziteng is in the mansion.

Prince Teng is the queen of the Taiwei who ruled the counties and princes, not to mention the vain position of the first-class general Jia She, but Wang Ziteng's official position is real.

So even though the prince and the old lady were gone, the Supreme Emperor was very gracious, and the royal family still had a plaque that governed the magistrate.

And the group from Baoning Hou's Mansion stopped at the gate of Wang's house.Shang Duo himself got out of the car, and directly poked in the middle of the two stone lions in front of the house, standing neither side nor side, like green pines.

The members of the Wang family were so shocked that they ran inside to report to Wang Ziteng.There was even the big housekeeper who rushed forward with his hat on, quickly ordered the main door to be opened, and hurried forward to salute and invite Baoninghou to enter.

Shang Duo stood with his hands behind his back and didn't answer, someone beside him said: "Master Hou is waiting here for Lord Wang to come out."

The butler's heart trembled, this, this tone didn't sound like a visitor.

At this time, Wang Ziteng didn't know about the unexpected disaster, he was still enjoying life in the inner courtyard, cultivating a Jade Butterfly Plum with his own hands.

Although he is a military commander, he has a calm mind and is quite talented.

Since he is a top figure in the four major families, he has to take the lead.There are also official duties in the body, and the things that are handled every day are as numerous as stars.

If he has a little free time, he will plant some plants and trees himself.

Today is a fine day.

Unexpectedly, when he planted half of the flowers, someone ran back and forth out of breath, saying that it was the Marquis of Baoning who came personally.

Wang Ziteng was a little confused.

He is a man of great sense.

Now that he is enthroned, Hou Jian of Baoning is in the heart of the emperor and Prince Teng doesn't know.But he understands better that, as the late emperor's confidant, if he rushes to make friends with the current confidant, not to mention whether Bao Ninghou can make friends with him, the Supreme Emperor will probably beat him first.

So he and Shang Duo were just nodding acquaintances.

Then why did Shang Duo suddenly come to the door today?Even when officials call on each other, they will post posts in advance. How can they come directly like this?Wang Ziteng suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

And when Wang Ziteng saw Shang Duo's full-frame posture, his ominous premonition almost turned into reality and slapped him on the face.

But he is a character after all, and he is still stable, he handed over his hands and said a few scene words such as flourishing and flourishing.

Shang Duo was not in a hurry, he stood with his hands behind his back and listened to him finish a routine.

Then he smiled and said: "Originally, I should also have some pleasantries with Mr. Wang. But since I am not a friendly person, I will speak directly."

It was the first time Wang Ziteng heard that someone used him poorly to describe himself, and he was shocked.

This is because he doesn't understand Shang Duo's character, this Marquis of Shang speaks boldly in front of the imperial court, and praises his son with "the young phoenix is ​​clearer than the old phoenix", what adjective does he dare not use.

At this time, Shang Duo saw Prince Teng Fameng, and gave him further explanation: "I'm here to ask for a debt."

Wang Ziteng frowned: "I also ask Lord Hou to express it clearly."

Shang Duo didn't hold his hands behind his back this time, he made a fist with one hand and tapped the palm of the other, and said with a smile: "Master Wang is pretending not to understand with me here? This Marquis doesn't know how to ask Lord Wang for advice. Listen It is said that your mansion has a lack of white jade beds in the East China Sea, and the Dragon King came to invite the Jinling King's reputation, so why reach out to take other people's things."

Wang Ziteng's eyebrows twitched, and his voice sank: "I really don't understand what Hou Ye said, so please speak up if you have something to say."

Shang Duo also accepted the smile, and no longer kept the joke, he just said: "During the new year's festival, my daughter gave a picture of the longevity scroll of the daughter of Mr. Lin, Minister of the Ministry of household affairs. This picture is now in your mansion. Please also invite Mr. Wang Bring it back to me."

Wang Ziteng was startled, and then he remembered with his excellent memory. It seems that Mrs. Wang did send a painting a few days ago...

Moreover, Zhou Rui was sent here, and he asked himself one thing.

But Zhou Rui's words clearly stated that it was a personal gift from Jia's mother to Mrs. Wang.

On the contrary, Mrs. Zhao also said that this painting is elegant and different from Mrs. Wang's liking.It was probably because it didn't suit Mrs. Wang's eyes that it was sent here as a favor.

He also understood that Madam didn't like Wang's younger sister.Anyway, it was a painting, so he asked someone to put it away at will.

The Wang family is not short of this painting.

But how could this painting be given to Lin's daughter by the Baoning Hou Mansion?Could it be that Mrs. Wang touched Miss Lin's belongings? !If this is the case, then my family is really in trouble!Wang Ziteng only felt that his blood pressure was about to go up.

Shang Duo didn't care whether Wang Ziteng was innocent or not. Seeing that he was still in deep thought, he continued to sneer and said, "Your direct sister took the beloved object of the girl from the Lin family and gave you a favor. If I were Mr. Wang, you must He would say that he was completely ignorant of the matter, and that he himself was a victim of being kept in the dark."

Wang Ziteng: ...The words I wanted to say were blocked in my throat.

Shang Duo continued: "Forget it, I don't care about the matter between you brothers and sisters, anyway, I know that this painting is in Lord Wang's hands. As long as you bring it to me, the whole capital will know about my generosity and understanding." Yes. When I have the items, I will turn around and leave without any further delay.”

Wang Ziteng almost vomited blood out of anger: Are you still generous and reasonable?A generous person stepped on the door of my house for a painting gifted by a little girl, blocking here and hitting my Wang family in the face? !

Besides, what's the use of Shang Duo turning around and leaving now!How many people know that he has come to Wang's house, and the whole capital will know about it tomorrow, so Wang Ziteng will go all over the street to pick his face!

He stunned Shang Duo, he had nothing to say for a while.

Seeing that he didn't move, Shang Duo said: "Why, I think Mr. Wang wants to swallow it and not return it? Or do you want to deny it directly?"

"That's all. I'm a gentleman, and I will never argue with others. Anyway, this is at the feet of the emperor, and the king's law is the greatest. How about we go to the palace and ask His Majesty to decide justice!"

Wang Ziteng already knows well that Shang Duo is here to slap his Wang family in the face, if he hesitates, he can really drag himself to face Sheng.

When he was in front of the emperor, did his majesty prefer this uncle or his confidant of the supreme emperor, needless to say?

What's more, if this matter is really done by the Wang family, there is no need for His Majesty to be partial, and Wang Ziteng is the one who has no reason!

Therefore, Wang Ziteng had no choice but to knock out his teeth and swallow his blood for the time being, and took out the painting—if he didn't ask someone to take it out, Shang Duo would charge him with trespassing property!

When Shang Duo took the picture of Shouxuan, Wang Ziteng didn't have time to explain a few more words, only to see Shang Duo turned and left, leaving him a big back of the head.

Wang Ziteng really has no place to complain about all kinds of grievances, he just feels that he is more wronged than Piaoxue in June.

After the group of Baoning Hou's mansion returned to the mansion in a mighty way, the whole west side had already spread the word of the matter, and it spread into the palace that night.

Hou Baoning blocked the door to ask for debts, and Wang Tongzhi lost face.

After hearing the news, the emperor understood the uncle's intention after a little thought, and couldn't help smiling.

The Taishanghuang was having supper there, when he heard the news, he tossed his chopsticks and knocked over a rouge goose breast in front of him, causing the palace people to rush up to clean it up.

The Supreme Emperor said angrily: "How many years! This bastard Shang Duo still has the same temperament! He is obviously the number one scholar in the literary examination, but he looks more and more like a bandit!"

"It's Wang Ziteng's fault. He's also an official in the court. He won't talk about it in private. He insists on blocking people's doors with open flames, causing disturbances in the city, and making people laugh!"

Probably because Shang Duo was quite lucky, at this time it happened that Princess Pingning was in front of the Supreme Emperor.

Ever since the eldest princess made a bold move and directly smeared the imperial concubine's face, the frequency of her entering the palace has obviously increased.

One is to make people stop underestimating her granddaughter, and the other is to walk around more in front of the elder brother of the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowagers of the Two Palaces to bond with each other.

It should be known that the most powerful thing in the world is pillow wind.

After all, the noble concubine is favored, and she will have to say something unpleasant in front of the emperor in the future.In case the emperor listened to it one time and really wanted to embarrass himself, with the emperor and empress dowager on top pressing and persuading him, everything would be fine.

At this time, it happened that Shang Duo offended the Emperor, and the eldest princess thought that if she said good things for Shang Duo and brushed off the matter, she would have more affection in front of the Queen Mother Shang and the Emperor.

In addition, Shang Duo's actions were against Princess Pingning's temperament, so she smiled and persuaded: "Brother, I don't know whether you are scolding Marquis Baoning or me."

The Supreme Emperor was stunned, and suddenly remembered the matter of his sister carrying the money tree to the imperial concubine. With empathy, his anger became less angry: "Forget it, I forgot that there is a heroine sitting here."

The Eldest Princess smiled: "I know Brother Huang wants to say that there is a female bandit sitting here!"

Then he looked at the face of the Supreme Emperor and persuaded: "Actually, think about it carefully. The middle-aged daughter of the Marquis of Baoning is the only daughter, so she loves her very much. Just like looking at my granddaughter Shan'er, I can't Make her feel wronged."

"Furthermore, if this matter is true to the rumors, the Wang family will be reaping the consequences of their own accord. After all, it was Master Wang's own sister who did it, and who is to blame?"

If you say that people's hearts are biased.

In the heart of the emperor, Marquis Baoning is naturally a hundred times more important than Prince Teng.

In other words, Wang Ziteng has a negative score at all. With such a generous heart, the emperor has long thought of kicking him, the confidant of the Supreme Emperor, out of the capital.So when he heard that Shang Duo came to slap Wang Ziteng in the face, the emperor laughed.

But in the Taishanghuang's heart, Wang Ziteng was heavier than Shang Duo, so he became angry as soon as he heard it.

It's just that Shang Duo was also the No. [-] scholar handpicked by the Supreme Emperor himself, and Concubine Shu was a caring person who accompanied him for many years. Her younger brother, the Supreme Emperor, always had to look at him differently.

Although he is not as important as Wang Ziteng, he can be regarded as a useful person. Shang Duo's official career in the past ten years or so has been smooth under the hands of the Supreme Emperor.It can be seen that the Supreme Emperor is also quite fond of Shang Duo.

At this time, I asked my younger sister Wen Yan to persuade me a few words, and thinking that it was indeed the fault of the Wang family, I slowly calmed down the anger.

He only said in his mouth: "How many years has it been since this kid still has such a temperament!"

"Did you forget that more than ten years ago, he was still the eldest son, so he dared to stop in front of Uncle Changping's door to ask for something. I heard it was just a set of wall vases!"

It was because the wall vase was too small that Shang Duo was so persistent that he left a deep impression on the people in the capital.

If you are so careful, those who don't know will think that your official seal was taken away by the Changping uncle's mansion!

The Supreme Emperor remembered this old incident and said: "Now I see that he has become a Marquis, and no one can control him! I can't just indulge him like this, otherwise he will block the gate of the palace next time. "

Hearing the emperor's words, the eldest princess was ready to lift it up high, put it down lightly, and said with a smile: "Marquis Baoning is not much different from that year, and he is also the child that the emperor looked like when he was younger. Is there anything you don't know? .But Brother Huang, I still remember the events of the past ten years clearly, and now I have to settle accounts with others, is it the emperor's stomach?"

When the Supreme Emperor called his sister a joke, he couldn't help laughing.It also brought back the old love when I saw Shang Duo studying with the emperor in front of my eyes, and the anger was like thunder and rain.

So the next day, when Shang Duo received the order from the Supreme Emperor to punish him to copy the Four Books ten times, he was quite surprised.

He said to the emperor: "I thought that the old sage would at least ask me to kneel for a few hours, maybe I would have to shut myself up at home and think about it for a while, but he just let me go like this?"

The implication is: Is my status higher, or is it that Prince Teng has fallen out of favor?

The emperor explained with a smile: "The eldest princess is speaking for uncle."

Shang Duo remembered this feeling, and continued to smile with the emperor: "Did your majesty see the expression on Prince Teng's face just now? It's almost white with green in it, and blue with green in it. He must have been awake all night. Wait for your majesty to come back again." Secretly ask someone to heat up, and keeping him in Beijing is like sitting on pins and needles."

After coming down to court today, the emperor pretended not to know, and announced Prince Shang Duo, Teng Lin Ruhai, and several other important ministers into the imperial study to inquire about what happened yesterday.

With his back against the big tree of the emperor, Shang Duo became more eloquent, and he described the Wang brothers and sisters as vicious people who bullied relatives' girls and wanted to seize other people's property.

It sounds even more indignant than Lin Ruhai's own father.

Wang Ziteng's face turned blue, red, purple, purple and white, and he wanted to get into the ground on the spot under the strange eyes of his colleagues.

The emperor said a few words about Wang Ziteng, and even asked someone to reward Lin Ruhai with two calligraphy and paintings, whichever direction he chose, it was like a bright moon.

Wang Ziteng felt even more ashamed.

It was so easy to hope that the emperor would speak casual characters, so he endured it and walked out, not talking to others, and went straight back to the mansion.

At this time, Shang Duo was still talking about it in front of the emperor.

When he first learned about this from the Queen Mother, his idea was to make a big fuss, which would embarrass Wang Ziteng. As for the Rongguo Mansion, which was also embarrassing, it was just incidentally wiped out.

Wang Ziteng still has the official position of controlling the nine provinces, and the emperor can use this as an excuse at that time, just let him go out to avoid the rumors, and then promote him to the nine provinces to satisfy the emperor, and then kick Wang Ziteng out Capital, let him hang around outside.The emperor's own confidants can slowly take over the military power of the Beijing camp.

It's a wonderful thing to say.If it was someone else, such as Xie Yuce, he would not be able to visit the Wang family like this.Because he is not such a person, the Supreme Emperor will naturally doubt his motives, and then think that the emperor is looking for an opportunity to squeeze the prince away.

But Shang Duo has a criminal record, and Wang's behavior is so stupid that he fell into someone's hands, so it's not surprising that he has such an outburst.

Even if there was a little bit of suspicion, the eldest princess dispelled half of it with a few words, leaving a little bit of suspicion, as long as the emperor is careful in his actions and slowly cultivates his confidantes, it will be fine if the emperor is not alarmed.

When the prince freed up to patrol for a year and a half, when he came back, he would find that the military power of the Beijing camp had been emptied.

At that time, even if he was going to sue the Supreme Emperor, he would have to be dismissed from his official position: If even your own authority has to be checked by the Supreme Emperor, then who will be the official for whom?Can you give the Supreme Emperor a salary instead?

As for whether he can seize the military power from Wang Ziteng, Shang Duo has already done enough, and the rest depends on the skills of the Xie family.
