The emperor is embarrassed

Since the settlement of Shanqihou and others, the capital of the Manchu Emperor has been extremely peaceful.

Ming Zhan also has time to fall in love with Ruan Hongfei. He originally wanted to pull his family Feifei to kiss me for a while, but found that this guy has a tendency to empathize with others.

These days, whenever Ruan Hongfei has free time, he will hold a picture of a beautiful woman and keep looking at it, admiring and admiring all kinds of beautiful words. Hearing Ming Zhan's ears, don't worry too much. Ming Zhan thought: Now praise the painting The beauties on the ground may praise the beauties outside at any time.If things go on like this, he will still be stupid if he is afraid of wearing a green hat on his head.

Although Ming Zhan is small-minded, he doesn't show it on the outside, but pretends to be magnanimous.Even on Xiumu's day, he didn't arrange a date, so he thoughtfully asked Ruan Hongfei to enjoy the beautiful pictures to his heart's content.However, after lunch, when Ruan Hongfei wanted to take out the ancient painting to appreciate it as usual, he found that the place where the ancient painting was placed was missing, and another scroll was replaced.Ruan Hongfei took it out and opened it, almost laughing, there were more than a dozen portraits of Ming Xiaopang.

Ruan Hongfei took a few glances, and then heard Ming Xiaopang's humming voice from inside, which made people feel itchy.Ruan Hongfei put down Ming Xiaopang's beautiful picture and went into the room.Ming Zhan was lying on the couch with arms and legs spread out, ordering the beautiful and beautiful little palace daughter to give him a massage. The little palace lady has good hands and specializes in this, Ming Zhan cried out in comfort.

Ruan Hongfei waved his hand, the little maid saluted, and stepped back lightly.Ming Zhan didn't turn his head, hummed twice, and said sourly, "Don't look at beautiful women anymore."

"Which beautiful woman is just a painting." Ruan Hongfei sat down beside Ming Zhan, and slapped Ming Zhan's buttocks, "No matter how beautiful she is, she's not as good-looking as Ming Xiaopang."

"For you have vision." Ming Zhan sat up and complained to Ruan Hongfei, "It's just a group of fat women, what's there to look at? Damn Zhao Lingyan, what kind of ghost painting did you send? How can this be a birthday gift for me? Well. It’s clearly here to drive a wedge between us. I think the painting Lin Yongshang sent is much better, like mandarin ducks playing in the water, so auspicious and festive.”

Ruan Hongfei sometimes felt that Ming Zhan was no different from an illiterate, so he couldn't help breaking up with him, "Don't be blind to gold and jade. Zhao Lingyan's painting is the "Nv Shi Zhen Tu" by the great painter Gu Kaizhi. I don’t know where I got the treasure, and I can’t exchange it for a golden mountain.” Under the influence of Ming Zhan, Ruan Hongfei also developed a vulgar way of measuring value in silver, “Yongshang painted it himself, fooling you. Yes, take something that can’t be sold on the street for two taels of silver, and you still hang it in the bedroom, hurry up and take it down tomorrow, it’s not shameful enough.” Lin Yongshang, this bastard, has figured out Ming Zhan’s mind, and sent the letter Ming Zhan still liked the bad paintings of mandarin ducks playing in the water. After receiving Lin Yongshang's paintings, he praised them for a long time, and put them beside their beds to look at them every day.

Ming Zhan is not literate, but actually semi-literate.

He also knew the name of "The Book of Proverbs of Women's History", he quickly widened his small eyes, and asked with a look of surprise, "Huh? Is that "Picture of Proverbs of Women's History"?" He only saw a dozen fat women.

Of course, in ancient times, people paid attention to verve and charm when making paintings, but Ming Zhan couldn't find any good-looking pictures of those ladies, and he had no taste at all.

Ming Zhan suddenly became suspicious again, "Tell me, could it be that Zhao Lingyan was involved in corruption in Datong City? Otherwise, how could he have such precious things?" How could Zhao Lingyan have a treasure that doesn't change?Although he couldn't see where it came from, Ming Zhan still knew that this painting was very valuable.

After thinking about it, Ming Zhan said suspiciously, "Could it be that Zhao Lingyan made a copy of it himself to trick me?"

"Could it be that I'm blind?" Ming Zhan was a fool, and Ruan Hongfei was a master in calligraphy and painting, so naturally he would not be deceived.

Ming Zhan hurriedly called He Yu in, and asked, "You didn't take the treasure to burn, did you?" Originally, he was angry with Ruan Hongfei for only looking at the painting and not him, so he stole the painting and asked He Yu to burn it in the stove. , to give Ruan Hongfei a good look.

When Ruan Hongfei heard Ming Zhan's words, he pinched Ming Zhan's buttocks hard. Ming Zhan let out a painful cry and almost didn't jump up from the couch.He Yu shivered, and hurriedly said, "No, it's not burned. The slave hasn't had time to burn it yet." Without waiting for orders, He Yu said, "The slave will fetch it now." Turning around and running to get the treasure.

Ming Zhan was so distressed that he didn't wait for Ruan Hongfei to scold him. He said, "You didn't say that the treasure was valuable, and I almost made a big mistake. Oh, it is a national treasure. If it is burned, it will not be a crime." Well."

Ruan Hongfei is such a skilled person, Ren Mingzhan babbled on and on for a long time, until the fat man was so thirsty that he wanted to drink tea to quench his thirst, but Ruan Hongfei suddenly pressed his hand, Ming Zhan glared at Ruan Hongfei, "Why, I almost burned Wrong baby, you don't even let people drink water now, you are too overbearing."

Ruan Hongfei didn't like Ming Zhan's tricks at all, and smiled leisurely, "Ming Xiaopang, you don't do this with me." He pulled Ming Zhan over and sighed helplessly, "Forget it, I shouldn't watch it." The painting is fascinated. You don’t use such tricks, get up, it’s a great day, let’s go for a walk.”

Ming Zhan was overjoyed, snickered to himself, lowered his head to put on his shoes, and said with a firm mouth, "What kind of trick, don't wrong me, I don't admit it." Standing up and stomping his feet, Ming Zhan had already asked, " Where are you going?" He still put on airs pretendingly, "I'm so busy, I'm so busy, you still drag me out to spend time. Alas, it's strange to say that a woman is a disaster, after a long time of trouble, this blue face is not so powerful. ..."

"Then don't go." Ruan Hongfei despised Ming Zhan's duplicity and insincerity the most.

Ming Zhan showed no emotion at all, he went to grab Ruan Hongfei's hand, took a sip on his cheek, and said with a smile, "How dare you, Du Guozhu has always kept his word." If you say it, you have to go, he is so tossing For a long time, it was just to let Ruan Hongfei take care of him.

Ming Xiaopang achieved his goal, wishing he could wag his tail proudly.

In fact, as long as the goal is achieved, Ming Zhan is not difficult to coax.

Contentment is always happy.

Ming Zhan was born with such a beautiful appearance, which has a lot to do with his temperament.

However, there are many people in the world who want nothing more than they want.

For example, the mother of Zhongyi Hou, Mrs. Fang.

The old lady Fang took the opportunity of going to the Shou'an Palace to plead with the Empress Dowager Wei, thinking of arranging an errand for her grandson Feng Mingzhi, the Empress Dowager Wei agreed, and Ming Zhan also arranged for him to be a guard in the palace.

The guards in the palace are all the children of the nobles. Ordinary guards start from the seventh rank and can survive to the imperial court. For example, Chen Sheng is the leader of the first rank guards. His dignity in the imperial court is no worse than that of the cabinet ministers.

Whoever sees him will have to give up three points.

Feng Mingzhi came in through the back door, and Ming Zhan didn't think about treating him preferentially, so he naturally started as the lowest rank seven guard.

To Ming Zhan, this is already a face for the Zhongyi Houfu.Otherwise, according to Ming Zhan's precision, Ming Zhan would not be willing to pay the salary of one more person.

In fact, the work of the guards is really not tiring, only two hours a day, apart from being boring, there is nothing wrong with it.However, Mrs. Fang still complained about the hard work, regardless of whether it was exposed to the wind or the sun, anyway, she had a good day to guard the gate.

Old lady Fang thought to herself, why did she arrange a job as a porter for her grandson.

In fact, if you think about it seriously, Feng Mingzhi's job is not as good as that of a concierge.After all, the concierge still has a place to drink tea and have a chat. As a guard in the palace, the rules are the most important in the palace, which one can be fooled by you.

Seeing that his grandson has lost weight and darkened in just over a month, he immediately feels distressed.He couldn't help but said, "My good boy, you only study and practice calligraphy at home on weekdays, where have you ever suffered such hardships. Forget it, let's not go."

Feng Mingzhi smiled, and persuaded her grandmother, "Grandmother, my grandson is not tired. It is also very interesting to stand on shift together with my colleagues. Besides, my father also hired a martial arts master for us before. Simple Fist and kick, my grandson can also do it. If you are a servant in the palace, you don't need any martial arts to be serious."

The grandson has worked so hard, if he is really in front of the emperor, it will be fine, and he will suffer a little bit, at least the king will see it.However, as far as Mrs. Fang knew, Feng Mingzhi was just the most common bodyguard in Tsing Yi, working in Wanjuan Palace.

This Ten Thousand Scrolls Palace is not somewhere else, it is the place where Ming Zhan set aside for Zhong Jingshu to lead the Hanlin erudites to compile books.

If there is anything, Ming Zhan just declares Zhong Jingshu and asks.As for the boundary of Wanjuan Palace, Ming Zhan didn't come here once every year.

What made Mrs. Fang even more displeased was that Feng Mingzhi was guarding the door in the Wanjuan Palace, while the eldest grandson Feng Mingli was compiling books in the Wanjuan Palace, decent and leisurely.

Feng Mingli is fond of reading, and his affection for books is deeper than that of his wife.Ever since I went to the Wanjuan Palace with the decree, I have been completely fascinated. Moreover, according to Zhong Jingshu, Feng Mingli's literary talent is quite good.

Since Feng Mingli was willing to follow along with him in the revision of books, Ming Zhan let him go.

In the end, I don't know if Ming Zhan did it on purpose. The two brothers of Zhongyihou's family, one in the palace and the other outside the palace, turned into a scene.Fortunately, Feng Mingli's temperament is extremely gentle and refined, and he takes good care of Feng Mingzhi.

And Feng Mingzhi is not a fool, he throws a wooden peach and repays it with Qiongyao.

The two brothers, compared to the estrangement in the past, are brothers and sisters respectful.

Old lady Fang took her grandson's hand and said, "In the past, I often heard my master praise your writing."

Feng Mingzhi understood her grandmother's meaning, and said with a smile, "Grandma, not everyone can go to the Wanjuan Palace to repair books. It is filled with the most learned people from all over the place, and I am sure I can't."

Old Madam Fang didn't like to hear people say that her grandson was not good, even Feng Mingzhi could not be self-effacing.Sure enough, upon hearing this, Old Madam Fang frowned, and said stubbornly, "Who says you can't do it? You are only a few years younger than Mingli, I don't believe it, how much difference can be made in the past few years." Think for a while , Mrs. Fang said, "Go to work first, we will talk about this later."

Feng Mingzhi didn't mention this matter any more, and became more filial in gentle words, until the outside came to remind her, then she resigned from her grandmother and brought her servant to Wanjuan Palace to be on duty.

In the final analysis, the conflict between Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Wei, Mrs. Zhongyi Hou started from this.

Generally speaking, it is actually common for the old lady in the family to be partial to a certain grandson.However, it's rare to see Mrs. Fang's partiality.Actually, it's not just because Feng Mingzhi is the son of Xiao Fang's.

It's a long story, when Wei married Marquis Zhongyi, he gave birth to the eldest son.At that time, Mrs. Fang intentionally hugged her eldest grandson to raise her under her knees.In fact, this is also an old rule.The old man is lonely, raising a child under his knees, and it is also lively.

However, mother and child are connected.

This is Wei's first child, how could he be willing to hug her mother-in-law to raise him.At that time, Mrs. Fang's natal family Jingguo Mansion and Wei's natal family Yongninghou Mansion were both entrenched in the imperial capital. After a secret battle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Wei family saved his son.

However, Wei also paid a heavy price.

Her dominance made her lose the favor of her husband Zhongyihou, she was fighting with her mother-in-law, and she hurt her body during the confinement, and she had only one child in her life.Even, because of this, Feng Mingli was not liked by Hou Zhongyi and the old lady Fang.

In the following years, Wei Shi would wake up from time to time. If she took a step back at that time, wouldn't it be different today.

Year after year, the toughness of youth was gradually eroded by the years, Wei Shi has become a grandmother.But until now, she can only live with Hou Zhongyi as a guest.After all these years, until Ming Zhan ascended the throne, his son's seat was almost assured. When Wei went to the imperial capital, he often went back to his mother's house. In recent days, even the smiles on his face were extraordinarily large.

However, Wei Shi really couldn't imagine that Mrs. Fang would make such a ridiculous proposal to her.

Mrs. Fang held her hand with a kind face, and it was rare for someone to discuss with her so intimately, "Zhige's body is no better than Lige's. He has only been on duty for a few days, and he fell ill twice. Alas, after a long time , but what should I do?"

Wei Shi just listened and didn't talk much.If they could reconcile in these many years, she and Mrs. Fang should have reconciled long ago.As a result, the two of them have been so unembarrassed.

Seeing that Mrs. Wei refused to pave the steps for her, Mrs. Fang simply said directly, "Brother Li is studying in the Wanjuan Palace. I heard that he doesn't have an official title, but Zhige is a seventh grader. I thought about it." , They are brothers. Brother Li has always been a kind-hearted kid. How could he bear to see Zhige being tortured like this. Why don't they change their errands? What do you think? Treat Zhige If you keep your body better, it will be the same if you change it back.”

Wei Shi's anger suddenly rose from her heart, and she firmly withdrew her hand from old lady Fang's withered hand.Now, she is really thankful. At the beginning, the decision that she would rather break up with Hou Zhongyi than give her son to Mrs. Fang to raise was really correct.

If a son with such a brain is raised by Mrs. Fang, I really don't know what kind of son he will develop.

Wei said in a gentle voice, "I don't think it will work. Li Ge'er is not studying in Wanjuan Palace to serve as an official. He really likes to do this job. If Zhi Ge'er is not feeling well, just stay at home and rest. If not, we will It’s okay to go into the palace and talk to your empress, and personally ask Zhi Geer for a year and a half of leave.”

"You also know that the Empress Dowager is not an outsider, so I still have some face." Wei couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and his tone became more and more rigid, "However, let their brothers change errands, No. This mission is all rewarded by the emperor's golden words. If you want to change it, where will you put the king? Let others know, but our family is picky, and even the emperor doesn't like it. Besides, Zhige is in good health No, I can't bear the pain of being a guard, but it's not an easy job to repair books. You don't know it, and Li Geer can't do it either. The child's hands, except for the pen, have never touched the handle of the knife. son."

The old lady Fang almost didn't let Wei choke back, her face sank, and she asked in a cold voice, "Just say you don't want to, and you don't have to find such and such reasons to prevaricate me, old lady."

"Yes, I don't want to." Wei Shi said.

The old lady Fang slapped the table angrily, and said angrily, "Don't think that you will be fine when you go back to the imperial capital? After all, I am your mother-in-law. If you don't agree, you are disobedient!"

Wei stood up indifferently, looked down at old lady Fang, and said in a low voice, "What can you do with me, let me see." After speaking, he turned and left regardless of old lady Fang's expression.

Old lady Fang was so angry that she suffered from angina for half a day. When Hou Zhongyi came back, she scolded her son severely and ordered her son to change his grandson's job.

Marquis Zhongyi was really displeased with Wei Shi's disrespect. Even though the husband and wife have always respected each other like ice, he couldn't just sit idly by, so he went to Wei Shi's courtyard.

Wei Shi was crying at Feng Mingli, "Since you were a child, I have never hugged you and given you a good face. Now that you have a good job, I want you to change with the third child. I I didn’t know that there was such a truth in the world.”

"I didn't ask for your job. The emperor saw that you were the material and told you to follow along. Anyone can do it anywhere." Don't look at Mrs. Fang The wife is strong, in order to defend her children, there is no mother who is not strong.Thinking of the past, Wei couldn't help sobbing, "You have loved reading since you were a child, and no one would say a word about you for the many beautiful articles you wrote. But if the second and third children recognize two more words, your father and your grandmother I just wish I could boast people to the sky. My heart is biased like this, did I say something? Now that I have seen you have something promising, I am jealous again."

Feng Mingli had no choice but to persuade in a gentle voice, "Mother, there are a lot of people in the family, peace is the most important thing. If the third brother likes to study books, it's okay for the third brother to do it. I am the elder brother, so I should let the younger brothers do it." of."

Who can Wei Shi agree to, even if he dies, he will not agree.

Feng Mingli persuaded bitterly, "Although I like to read, where can I not read books? Earlier I heard that there are many rare books in the library built by His Majesty, and I borrowed many of them to read. Grandma said everything, Just look at my father's face. Grandma is at this age, so don't worry about it. My father has already asked me to be the eldest son, and the title will always be mine in the future. There are so many younger brothers, and I must have a stable job in the future. Now Taking advantage of this opportunity, it is also a blessing to have someone stay in the imperial capital, and it is considered settled."

Feng Mingli persuaded Wei Shi for half an hour, Hou Zhongyi listened for a while, but he didn't lift his foot to go in, and turned away again.

The cold relationship with his wife directly affected his father-son relationship with Feng Mingli.Even if Wei's words were spoken, Hou Zhongyi disapproved quite a lot, but Feng Mingyi knew both books and rituals, so Hou Zhongyi couldn't find any faults.

Now that Feng Mingyi can take care of his younger brothers, after a hundred years, he can also safely hand over the Hou Mansion to Feng Mingli.

No mother can hold back her children.

This time, the Zhongyi Hou Mansion did not have any relationship with the imperial court, but only had some private activities.Feng Mingzhi went to Wanjuan Palace to revise books, but Feng Mingli was not able to be a bodyguard. Instead, Feng Mingjia, the second son of Wei's concubine, filled Feng Mingzhi's bodyguard shortage.The old lady Fang became more aggressive and said, "Since Mingli's health is not good, he can recite Buddha's name with me these days. This man, as long as he has a kind heart, the Buddha will protect him."

Wei Shi is such a smart person, how could he not understand.If Feng Mingli really took over Feng Mingzhi's bodyguard, everyone in the world would have to know about the exchange of errands between the two brothers. In this case, Feng Mingzhi's reputation would be unnecessary!Now, Feng Mingjia is asked to fill the lack of guards, Feng Mingzhi enters the Wanjuan Palace, but Feng Mingli wants to tell the outside world that he is not in good health and recuperates at home.In this way, the Zhongyihou's mansion will not lose face.

After her son persuaded her for a long time, Wei reluctantly agreed.But what is the result, who in this family can know the relationship between their mother and child.Old lady Fang still said such things.

Mrs. Wei went into a frenzy, grabbed his son's wrist, picked up a gold-painted celadon cup from old lady Fang's hand, and smashed it to the ground with a bang, startled old lady Fang and Hou Zhongyi, and the broken porcelain splashed all over the floor.Wei Shi's chest heaved in anger, and he shouted sharply, "You asked Li Geer to give up the job, and Li Geer has already given up! If you don't know the fun again, you might as well make a scene! Anyway, I'm not afraid of embarrassment! Do you want to?" !"

Old lady Fang's face turned pale, she didn't know whether she was angry or frightened, she came back to her senses, let out a long howl, pointed at Hou Zhongyi and said, "You don't want to kill this disobedient!"

Marquis Zhongyi stepped forward and angrily reprimanded Wei, "How dare you in front of mother!"

Wei Shi was furious and showed her prestige as the daughter of the general family. With a sudden effort, she pushed Zhongyihou staggeringly and almost fell to the ground.Hou Zhongyi took a few steps back and bumped into a peach blossom table next to Fang's couch, Fang stopped, and the old lady Fang said loudly, "It's the other way around—"

Wei's voice was [-]% higher, "I'm rebellious! How about it!" Raising his hand and throwing the little table in his hand to the ground, Wei's eyes were reddened, and he said sharply, "If we have the ability, let's go to the palace to talk about it." Understand! If you have the ability, go to the imperial court and shake it out! Ask the emperor and the queen mother to judge, are there any brothers who force their elder brothers to give up their errands! Are there any fathers who force their sons to give up their errands to their concubine sons! Are there any grandmothers who directly curse their grandchildren? !"

It is not an exaggeration to call the riot in Zhongyi Hou's mansion thrilling. When Ming Zhan heard this letter, he felt that it was even more exciting than a script.However, this is a family matter of the Zhongyihou's Mansion, no matter how much he gossips, he will not interfere.

What makes Ming Zhan difficult is Fang Shenxing and Song Zhuyu. It must be because the front foot has just arrived in Huaiyang, and the second foot is the censor's book. The two are really united, and they are caught in the same case.

Ming Zhan read the memorial carefully, and thought to himself that he was brave and mighty. These two rookies were very powerful in the court, but they really showed timidity as soon as they let them go.

Still young.
