Zhang Yun's ancient life

Today, he really wants to establish a prince. Ever since he experienced the rebellion of the second prince and Concubine Kang, the supreme leader of the Yong Dynasty felt that his health was getting worse day by day.

Especially recently, this feeling has become more and more obvious. The emperor couldn't help but think of what Long Anbo said to him last year when he recuperated his body. The old man grew up with him and served him all his life. It should not lie to him, but now it seems that it is almost time to fulfill it.

Emperor Shengde threw the memorial in his hand onto the dragon case beside him, and rubbed his sore eyes with his hands. The words on the memorial are too small, it is really troublesome to look at, and his current power is not as good as it used to be. As soon as the sky darkened, he couldn't read the words on the memorial clearly, and it was useless to light more candles in the room, but it just changed from pitch black to blurry.

The confidant eunuch who was standing aside waiting to serve saw that his master stopped to rest instead of reading the memorial, so he hurriedly fished out a towel from the golden basin held by the maid at the side, wrung it dry and handed it over, saying, "Master, you Wipe your face and loosen it up."

Emperor Shengde raised his head when he heard the words, took the warm towel from the eunuch, spread it on his face, tilted his head back, and leaned his whole body on the back of the dragon chair.

Those who waited lowly did not dare to disturb their master, they could only carefully observe the emperor who was leaning on the backrest, so that he could go up to catch him when the master made any moves.

These people didn't wait too long. When the towel was slightly cool, Emperor Shengde moved. He straightened up and took off the wet towel on his face. There was no trace of fatigue on his face. , it was the majestic and awe-inspiring Emperor Dayong again.

Emperor Shengde threw the towel in his hand into the golden basin, and said to the chief executive standing behind him: "Hongxi, go and pass on my oral order to summon Chen Bo, a cabinet scholar, Chang Wang, Marshal Huben, and Minister of Rites. Hu Fan, and Prince Yu entered the palace."

The Consul General listened to the names of the people said by the emperor, and the more he listened, the more he pondered in his heart. These are people who have won the trust of the emperor and have high prestige in the court. His Majesty called them into the palace urgently today, and there must be a big event coming. Discuss with them, so he didn't dare to delay for a while, and after Emperor Shengde finished speaking the names, he quickly withdrew from the hall to announce the decree.

He knew that Emperor Shengde's body was beginning to show signs of decline. He is the king of a country, and if he doesn't arrange everything well, he can close his eyes without worrying about it. Fortunately, the third boy is still good, both in martial arts and martial arts. First class, even his father praised him for his bravery and agility when he was around, if the country was handed over to him, he should feel at ease.

It's just that every time the new emperor ascends the throne, there are always some twists and turns. Whether it's from the ministers or from the clan, those temptations will make the new emperor suffer some hardships, just like the old Feng he met at that time. General, with the military power in the entire west, he was so suppressed that he couldn't say a single word. He knew what the old man was thinking, but he had no choice but to make his daughter Concubine Kang, so that Mrs. Feng could have a prominent position. birth.

Fortunately, that woman is as stupid as a pig. She only knows how to fight with concubine Shu in the harem, and the rest is useless. Old, that idiot is also a brainless person, and spends all day with those sour scholars What's the use of being together? Didn't you see how Taizu got the world? Fame is an embellishment after success. If there are no people, what's the use of those false names.

The youngest is still smart, knowing what is the most important thing. Thinking of Chen Ge's distorted old face when he knew that his grandson did not continue to study, but chose to lead the army, Emperor Shengde felt that his mood was exceptional. Pleasure, so it is better for him to do some things, so as to save the new king in the future.

Emperor Shengde thought of this, so he asked someone to grind the paper, and he himself wrote on the rice paper with a pen and ink.

The first thing that flashed through his mind was the famous old General Feng who was known as the Northwest King. Thinking of that face that made him hate it to the extreme, Emperor Shengde sneered and wrote down his sentence on the paper. .

Then there is that woman of the Feng family, who is arrogant and domineering, without the gentleness of a woman. I really gave her the title of Kang at the beginning. Xian, Shu, De, Zhuang, she has nothing to do with it. He is still healthy, showing off his might in his own harem with a high air.Emperor Shengde thought about it, and wrote down her execution on the paper with a look of disgust.

That's the old man, two, what should he do?Emperor Shengde thought about his second son, and felt that the fatigue that he had just suppressed had risen again. No matter what, he was also his son. He watched him grow up, become an adult, and marry a wife. Watching him give birth, I always thought that he was just being instigated by outsiders, so he became confused, and there would be a day when he would figure it out, but in the end, he always made himself more and more disappointed.

Emperor Shengde stood there holding the brush and didn't write a single word for a long time, until the eunuch who passed the order came back and said to him through the screen: "Your Majesty, all the ministers who have been summoned have arrived."

Emperor Shengde came back to his senses after hearing the words, and hurriedly wrote a few strokes on the paper, then put the brush on the pen holder, asked someone to take the rice paper, and got up to meet the ministers.

That night, the lights of Qinzheng Hall stayed on all night, Emperor Shengde discussed with the ministers he summoned all night, and in the morning of the second day, the new imperial decree was read out.

There are not many contents in the imperial decree. They are all about the treatment of those who participated in the rebellion last time, and there is nothing out of the ordinary. They are all within everyone's expectations.

The main culprit, General Feng, was cut off from all his duties and handed over to the Ministry of War for a period of time to guard him. After the autumn, he was asked to be executed at the Meridian Gate.Concubine Kang, who was abolished as a concubine and relegated to the cold palace, probably died of old age in it.All males over the age of 14 in Feng's family were to be executed together, while the rest of the elderly, weak, women and children were sent into exile.

The second son of the emperor was imprisoned in his palace and could not come out for life. As the grown-up eldest son, he was granted the title of Marquis of Luo Gong, and he was asked to bring his younger brothers and sisters out to open the mansion.

As for the rest of the accomplices, those who ransacked their homes, those who were sentenced, those who were sentenced to death, those who were exiled, the emperor's handling of this rebellion was extremely fast, and his actions can be regarded as swift and resolute. opportunity to speak.

The ministers below carefully looked at each other while listening to the decree. They all knew that the emperor was paving the way for the prince who was about to ascend the throne. It won't sound so good when it comes out. Let's all watch it. In a few days, the imperial decree to establish the crown prince will probably come down.

Sure enough, everyone guessed right this time, the next day the emperor announced the imperial decree to make the third prince the crown prince, and at the same time announced that this year's autumn will be presided over by the prince.

After hearing the news, the students all over the world are very jealous of the candidates of this year. Isn’t the emperor asking the prince to inspect the team? After the prince ascends the throne, he must use new people. If you leave a deep impression, your future prospects will be limitless.

Even if you didn't impress the prince in the exam, that's okay. After the prince becomes emperor in the future, the officials who are selected by the prince will be real disciples of the emperor. Identity is a matter of glory, even when the crown prince wants to employ people, he will definitely think of them first.

The attitudes of the scholars who have figured this out are divided into two extremes. Those who are not qualified to take the exam are about to grit their teeth with hatred. yourself?Look at the faces of those villains, the old man really has no eyes.

And those who are qualified to take the exam are busy packing their luggage and hurrying to the capital, just kidding, what a rare opportunity, if I miss it, let alone others, I won’t let it go own.

Hurry up and pack up and go, go to the capital right away, it’s better to be there first than late, come early and feel at ease, look at the distorted faces of those who are not qualified to take the exam in the academy, in case someone plots against them accidentally , There is no way to go to the exam, there is really no place to cry.

In this way, the current capital is overcrowded, and all the inns and post stations are full of people. People in the capital are working hard, sorting out the houses that are usually inhabited, and renting them to these students who are going to Beijing for the exam, and those who want to live in the capital. For families who want to earn more money, the whole family lives in one room so that the room can be vacated for guests. You must know that in the capital city, the rent of a house is more than five times that of the original one. Such a person makes money. This opportunity is hard to touch, and it would be a pity to miss it.

Candidates from Li County naturally joined the 'I'm going to arrive early' plan this time, but unlike the others, their plan this time was organized.

The county magistrate of Li County is also a person who has passed the Jinshi. He knows how influential the four characters of the emperor's disciples are. A few of the examinees gathered together and planned to pay for it themselves, so sending them there together by a big ship is considered as an early investment for me. If there is one of them who can soar into the sky, then my favor is worth it. If you do, even if you don't, it's not a big problem for yourself, but you can also get a good reputation for being kind to students, so why not do it.

Before leaving, the county magistrate held a farewell party for them. All the famous people in the county came to attend, and Zhang Yun also came here on behalf of the Ludi Navy.

To be honest, their soldiers really don’t feel much about these things. Military officials can’t interfere with military affairs, and civilian officials can’t control military affairs. Zhang Yun came here this time purely to join in the fun on behalf of the Navy. After all They are still stationed in Li County, and they have to show their face if something happens in Li County.

Originally, Zhang Yun thought that this would be another extremely boring party for him. Most of the people who would come were scholars, and he couldn’t understand what they were talking about. The only thing Zhang Yun can do when facing them is to smile with his mouth open.

Then there are those rich and noble families in the county. Zhang Yun also can't understand the rich and noble scriptures in their mouths, and they have to fight with them, so that they can't make them feel that they are not easy to get in touch with.

When Zhang Yunqiong was extremely bored, he saw one of the protagonists of this banquet, who he should call his brother-in-law, a member of the Xu family.

That Xu Juren also saw Zhang Yun, and he was very embarrassed at first, after all, he and the Guan family got into such a mess back then, and now thinking about it, he feels ashamed.Now that he saw Zhang Yun who was in contact with the Guan family, he felt a little embarrassing.

But soon he straightened up his waist again, because he figured it out, he was about to see the sky, and then what was the Guan family, and what was Zhang Yun? How can I compare myself with myself, so I don't have to be embarrassed, these people should be the ones who will have no face to see him.
