Women's clothing in the Ming Dynasty

After receiving the clothes from Lu Bing, the two changed in a hurry, and then fell silent for a while.

"...cough," Li Chengfeng coughed awkwardly, and signaled to Jiajing that he should go out and ride a horse. The carriage is too small, and the two of them are already crowded.

Zhu Houcong didn't speak, but took a deep look at him, which meant that he was ready to play.

Li Chengfeng couldn't wait to go out, and bumped into Lu Bing who had been waiting outside the car for a long time.Both of them were slightly taken aback, Lu Bing opened his mouth, hesitant to speak.

Looking at his appearance, there is still something I don't understand. The co-author knows his identity.I think so, this kid is in charge of the Jinyiwei after all, and such court secrets, no matter what, he can't hide them from him.

"I haven't seen you for many years. Mr. Lu has grown a lot taller, and he still walks like that." Li Chengfeng greeted him with a smile.

Lu Bing also followed with a wry smile: "Don't make fun of me. My little brother grew up under your nose. You haven't seen anything like this. Mr. Li even hugged me back then."

Li Chengfeng couldn't help laughing, Master Lu who was frightening all the officials in the capital overlapped with the little chubby who used to cry, and couldn't help but lament the ruthlessness of time.

The two rode horses and rode side by side, while closely following the large army, while reminiscing about the old days.

Li Chengfeng is not the only one who has lived ups and downs in the past few years, Mr. Lu's life is also very exciting.Not only did he pass the Wu Jinshi examination, but he also followed the Mongolian expedition to kill the enemy. In the end, because of his meritorious service in rescuing him in the process of countering the rebellion several times, he commanded Tongzhi from the official to the Jinyiwei, and Li Chengfeng saluted him from the second-rank official There's nothing wrong with that either.

"Many of them secretly guessed why the younger brother is prosperous in officialdom, and he has everything to say. In fact, it is extremely simple. It is nothing more than two words-obedient." Lu Bing talked eloquently, and it was obvious that his experience in the officialdom made him The whole person has a lot of confidence, and he is no longer the frowning boy he used to be.

Li Chengfeng nodded along, this is not to agree, it is really Jiajing's "love desires life, evil desires death". He has never been stingy with rewarding those who are kind or obedient. If you fight against him, he will also keep a pen in his pocket, waiting to settle the score after the fall.

"However, His Majesty still values ​​highly talented people like you, Brother Li." Lu Bing added, and then said a little embarrassedly: "Actually, I wanted to find you when you first returned to Beijing, but... I don't know if you know that I know..."

Li Chengfeng laughed: "Come on, you are telling me the tongue twister here, don't mention it again in the future."

Lu Bing was also happy, and nodded his head heavily, "When we get to the capital, I will treat you to a drink."

Li Chengfeng naturally agreed, and then asked: "We are going to the capital soon, do you want to let the emperor rest for a while and change to a bigger carriage."

"Still not." Lu Bing thought for a while and denied: "Just go back to the imperial city directly like this. You don't know. This time, the emperor's disappearance, as long as the cabinet ministers know, the rest will be kept secret. They It is also a fluke, even if the emperor was kidnapped by the villain, but he did not receive any letters, and he did not announce it to the world with great fanfare. So he directly asked Jin Yiwei to investigate."

"...That's because the White Lotus Sect didn't know that the person who was kidnapped was the Holy One." Li Chengfeng said with a little shame.

"What?!" Lu Bing was shocked, and then suddenly said: "No wonder, otherwise when we arrived, this group of people would fight to the death and fight back."

Talking all the way like this, at night, I finally saw the shadow of the Forbidden City.

Li Chengfeng reported to the emperor and left first. After so many days of running around, he was extremely exhausted both physically and mentally.

After returning to the mansion, Zhang Tao, the housekeeper, was obviously relieved when he saw the master. These few days, Jin Yiwei often ran home. Although he didn't do anything to them, who in the world can't be afraid of those masters?Quite a number of gimmicks felt their calf tendons in the face of Jin Yiwei. Zhang Tao relied on his special status to find channels to inquire, but the people above didn't know what to ask. They just hinted that their master Li Jijiu might have committed a crime.

He quickly arranged for a retreat.

Zhang Tao was thinking anxiously in his heart, and Li Chengfeng came back here.

"Master... you."

Li Chengfeng waved his hand and stopped the other party: "It's just doing something for others, don't mention it again in the future."

Zhang Tao is also a smart person who understands the general situation, and immediately bowed his head: "Yes, the master is exhausted all the way, and the younger one is going to prepare hot water."

Li Chengfeng nodded and told him to back off.

In the next few days, there was still no court.But everyone can feel that the wind direction in the capital has changed, and from time to time there will be news such as "Jin Yiwei caught this one today, and that one tomorrow".Everyone in the entire capital was in danger for a while, and even the second-generation ancestors of cockfighting and lackeys rarely showed up, probably because they were warned by their families.

Of course, there are some people who are not well-informed or do not believe in evil. Jin Yiwei has been arresting people for a long time, but it is really surprising that such people are not invited to drink tea.

However, Li Chengfeng knew that this person must have purged the White Lotus Sect forces all over the country based on the news from Jiajing.The brocade guards are so busy that they don't have time to care about idlers.

Li Chengfeng was also happy and at ease. He went to the Imperial College to check the students' discipline and academic performance. Recently, the atmosphere of the Imperial College has gradually improved.Now that there is money in the national treasury, the sale of the academy quota is simply cut off. Li Chengfeng invited several great Confucian teachers to teach. The most important thing is that the headquarters of the "Beijing Weekly" is currently located in the surrounding area.Since "Jingcheng Weekly" started to accept advertising business under Li Chengfeng's suggestion, it suddenly changed from a government office to a state-owned enterprise, and there were some business contacts from time to time, so it would be inappropriate to set up in the Imperial Academy at this time.

Although there were some people in the DPRK arguing about how Adu's stuff could be mixed with sage books, the advertising revenue in the first month was enough to make them shut up, and the Hanlin scholars who received extra wages shut up collectively.In the end, Jiajing made a final decision that the advertisements should continue to run, but the court paid for them, and they had to move out of the imperial city when they were working.

After choosing and choosing, the Hanlin chose the address next to the Guozijian. This place not only has the editor-in-chief Li Chengfeng and Li Jijiu, but also is quite close to the Shengren Temple Guozijian.

Li Chengfeng naturally had no objection, and the students who benefited the most from this were the students of the Imperial College.Hanlin usually has business to do, so it is impossible to cover all the miscellaneous matters. The Imperial College is closed on two days a week, and the school work is usually not very busy. Some students are close to the water tower to take the initiative to help, and occasionally get some benefits while building good relations with the Hanlin.

Of course, the benefits here do not refer to money. You must know that the room is full of top students in the college entrance examinations from various provinces, and most of them have not been swallowed up by the monster workshop of Daming officialdom, and their minds are still pure.It is inevitable to teach and support the juniors who are educated and courteous. Even the outstanding students of the Imperial College can publish some opinions in the "Jingcheng Weekly", which greatly increases their popularity and makes everyone envious.

The days passed day by day like this, just when Li Chengfeng was bored with planning to organize outing activities for Guozijian students, a sudden order came from the palace, saying that the Empress Dowager Jiang had summoned him.

The second monk Li Chengfeng was puzzled, but he followed Xiaohuangmen anxiously.

If there is anyone in this world that he dare not face, then Queen Mother Jiang is definitely one of them.Mrs. Jiang is an elder herself, and Mrs. Jiang treated him with all her heart and soul before she lost her horse.Every time something good is brought into the palace, the emperor will give him a share, and the queen mother will give him another share. The cost of food and clothing is the same as that of Chunyin Chunying.Even if he really did a great job in rescuing him, such a kindness is over.

In the end, his identity was revealed, and the Empress Dowager Jiang didn't use any right to punish him, and she didn't even make any troubles.But it's just that they didn't meet again, even though Chun Yin's marriage was so tense, the two agreed not to disturb each other, so what happened today?

After entering the harem and saluting to Mrs. Jiang, Li Chengfeng still kept an open-faced look on his face.But facing the familiar scenery around her, she couldn't help sighing in her heart, the Empress Dowager Jiang was as simple as the rumors outside.The country has also earned a lot of money in the past few years, and the filial piety of the two empress dowagers in the harem has never stopped.However, compared to Queen Mother Zhang's extravagance, Queen Mother Jiang also gave her son a face, and the reputation of virtue spread throughout the country.

Empress Dowager Jiang glanced at Li Chengfeng with complicated emotions, and said lightly: "I heard that Mr. Li is a pillar of the court, and this time the emperor is also thanks to your care."

Li Chengfeng knew that this was a reminder, and he had better pretend not to know it, so he quickly returned: "The empress dowager is too famous, and I am ashamed to be a minister."

"Mr. Li, where is this? All the rare treasures in the palace have been sent up from the coast these years, and some of them are also very popular. Not to mention the newspaper you run, it is even more popular in this harem." Welcome." The Empress Dowager Jiang continued to appreciate, and then sighed faintly: "However, this harem is really deserted."

Li Chengfeng wondered, why mention this?Do you want him to join the emperor's army of forced marriages with the officials?

Just at this time, the eunuch outside the door reported that Jiajing had arrived.

Everyone in the room was startled, Jiang secretly held the hem of his clothes tightly and sent someone to greet him.

"The scene here is better with my mother. I see that the lotus flowers in the pond outside are blooming so early, and the wind blows very cool."

The Empress Dowager Jiang was a little dissatisfied at first, but when she saw that Zhu Houcong's forehead was sweating slightly, and her face was a little red from the scorching sun, she suddenly felt distressed, and hurried forward to help her son: "I haven't been in court for a few days, why are you still covering him?" So strict, are the people around you blind? The emperor will not take an umbrella when he travels."

"It's okay, I want to sweat myself." Zhu Houcong said disapprovingly.

Liar, everyone in the room had a thought at the same time.Who inside and outside the imperial city doesn't know that Emperor Jiajing is the number one dead man in Ming Dynasty. He upholds the principle of staying still as long as he can, hates all outdoor activities, and is addicted to reading books and cats.

Jiang didn't expose him, but just smiled: "That's fine, but you can't be willful in the future, even if you exercise, you have to take it step by step."

Jiajing nodded, then greeted Li Chengfeng as if he had just noticed, and the three of them had lunch together.

I don't know what happened to the Tian family's mother and son, anyway, Li Chengfeng's stomach hurt so badly after eating this meal, he didn't dare to vent his breath.So when Zhu Houcong said he had something to discuss after the meal, he immediately left.

Empress Dowager Jiang looked at the backs of the two and sighed helplessly.
