Unofficial History of Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty

Twelfth lunar month, leopard room.

When Jiang Bin bid farewell to Emperor Zhengde and was about to return to Xuanfu for the New Year, Li Xunxue, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, happened to ask for a performance to pray for the New Year.Jiang Bin was a little puzzled.Jitian prayed to do so every year, and even if there was anything that needed to be reported, it should be made known to all officials in the form of memorials.If there is something inconvenient to say clearly, the Minister of Rites should also come to make it clear.Li Xunxue, who is the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, came to see Emperor Zhengde in private, but there were three things wrong anyway.But Emperor Zhengde didn't want to mention it, so Jiang Bin didn't ask much.After meeting Li Shichun at the city gate, they went to Xuanfu together.

Seeing Jiang Bin staring at the big and small bags tied to his saddle, Li Shichun couldn't help but shyly said: "The mother-in-law ordered it."

Speaking of Li Shichun's daughter-in-law, Jiang Bin really admired her.Li Shichun was transferred to the capital by an order, but his old mother, who was resettled at home, was unwilling to leave Xuanfu, so the woman stayed to take care of her without saying a word.For this uneducated woman, filial piety comes first, and she would rather live in two places than let her husband have any worries.

Seeing Jiang Bin smile, Li Shichun asked casually, "Does Commander Jiang have a girlfriend?"

Jiang Bin said calmly, "Yes."

Li Shichun had no choice but to put aside his desire to let Jiang Bin meet his daughter-in-law and sister, saying that Jiang Bin would buy him a drink when he got married in the future.Jiang Bin was still smiling. In his life, getting married was a burden.The girl from a good family has been dragged down, and his desperate stubbornness has also been dragged down, so just look at the beauty of other families, this kind of mind cannot be moved.

When the two arrived at Xuanfu, it was the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, the New Year's Eve.On this day, it is customary to sweep the doors, clean the courtyard, hang Zhongkui, and nail peach charms to pray for the safety of the new year. However, Xuanfu has not yet come out of the shadow brought by the little Tatar prince, and this festival is dead. .As far as Jiang Bin could see, the quilts unpacked and washed by several households were drying alone outside, several women helped the old woman carry the bed frame to the well to wash, and the boys squatted silently to dredge the gutter.Everything seems to have been silenced, becoming a continuation of that nightmare...

"It will be much more lively when we pick up the Jade Emperor tomorrow." Li Shichun said this sentence for Jiang Bin and himself.Jiang Bin knew that Li Shichun, who seemed to be indifferent, hated Tartars by no means less than him.

It was late, and Li Shichun seemed to know that there was no one in Jiang Bin's house, so he dragged him to his house, saying that he wanted Jiang Bin to meet his mother and daughter-in-law. Jiang Bin was so embarrassed that he found an old friend and went back first. trip home.

The old house located at the north gate is still deserted, with withered weeds hanging down on the clean path, and through the fence, you can see a few withered yams mixed in the weeds in the vegetable field, which have survived the freezing. , let it rot.The dead branches of the hibiscus in the small courtyard that have not been pruned have already stretched out of the wall, like an old woman from Beili who is still soliciting business, which is plainly annoying.

This hibiscus tree was planted by his uncle when Jiang Bin was young. There is a saying that "there is no turning back tree in front of the door".

Jiang Bin stood under the hibiscus separated by the wall, looked at it for a while, laughed at himself for a while, and then left angrily.

Due to the previous looting, the number of hawkers selling New Year's goods in Xuanfu was much less than usual.Jiang Bin bought some dried bacon and went to Li Shichun's house.Li Shichun was helping his wife and mother to sweep the new year, when he saw Jiang Bin, he stopped what he was doing and greeted him.Jiang Bin told them not to be polite, and arranged with them after putting down their things.

Cutting window grilles, pasting New Year pictures, making firecrackers... After all this, Li Shichun's family became familiar with this unassuming general officer.When Li Shichun encountered difficulties in writing couplets, he said he wanted to ask the old man from the opposite door to ask for a picture. Jiang Bin stopped him with a smile, begged for a sip of wine, asked for pens and inks, and returned a pair of palindrome.Although Li Shichun was the commander of the Beijing Army's Four Guards, he was still semi-literate. He only thought Jiang Bin's good handwriting was quite pleasing to the eye, so he happily accepted it and posted it outside the door himself.

Working until evening, Li Shichun's family stayed with Jiang Bin for dinner. At the dinner table, Li Shichun repeatedly mentioned Jiang Bin's care for him, so Jiang Bin, who planned to leave after dinner, couldn't do it.Jiang Bin didn't sleep well that night, Li Shichun hadn't seen his wife for a long time, and the sound insulation effect wasn't very good...

Li Shichun got up the next day, and saw Jiang Bin, who was surrounded by bruises and blacks, blushing unconsciously.Jiang Bin didn't mind much, and hoped that he would soon raise a fat boy who was sure to be a famous general.This day is the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month. It is rumored that the Jade Emperor, the Heavenly Emperor, will personally go down to the world on this day to investigate the good and evil in the world, and determine the good and evil in the coming year, so every family sacrifices it to pray for good luck.Jiang Bin didn't believe this, but he couldn't avoid it. After Li Shichun's mother told him to "be extra cautious in your speech this day in order to win the Jade Emperor's favor and ask for blessings in the coming year", he could only nod in agreement.

But Jiang Bin's sincerity did not impress the Jade Emperor, who came to the world to observe. Before noon, Jiang Bin received a letter in a hurry. The letter only mentioned a poem by Shen Ruyun: "It's hard to send all the geese and books, and there are many dreams." No. May I follow the shadow of the lonely moon to shine on the Fubo Camp."

At the bottom is a woman leaning against the window, looking sadly at a branch of red apricot sticking out of the wall.

Jiang Bin had no choice but to bid farewell to Li Shichun's family and rush back to the capital to accompany the "resentful woman" who suffered from lovesickness.

In the Leopard Room, the "resentful woman" smelling of alcohol leaned against the window alone, inviting the moon to drink with her.

Jiang Bin, who came back in a hurry, stepped forward, closed the window that was exposed to the cold wind, and then snatched the wine glass from Emperor Zhengde's hand: "What's the day, are you still drinking cold?"

Only then did Emperor Zhengde look up at him, but he was not annoyed by his rudeness, and just called out "Hongxing" happily.

"Hongxing" was flushed from the cold because of the rush, he thought that the love poem was just a deception, maybe Emperor Zhengde really had something urgent to call him back to Beijing, but seeing him now, it doesn't seem to be the case.

"Hongxing, Hongxing, look, it's a big Chinese New Year, and I don't even have anyone around me who can talk." Emperor Zhengde, who was not sure of the direction, couldn't grab the wine glass back, so he simply leaned on Jiang Bin's stomach and murmured .

Jiang Bin frowned from the strong smell of alcohol, and adjusted his posture to make each other more comfortable: "What did the emperor call me back for?"

Emperor Zhengde tilted his head and said, "I'm afraid of being deserted."

Jiang Bin felt that it was really torture to go around with a drunk, so he had to follow him: "The emperor has an heir, so it will not be deserted."

After hearing this, Emperor Zhengde twisted his neck and said, "Being born in this emperor's family, how can there be family happiness?"

Jiang Bin thought about it too, so he didn't say any more.

"Jiang Bin." Emperor Zhengde closed his eyes and said vaguely, "Although you are just a 'people around', but you are the only one I can think of at this time."

After finishing speaking, he tugged on Jiang Bin's sleeve and fell asleep heartlessly.

Jiang Bin looked down at the tired face, took out the letter paper hidden in his chest, and read it several times.

Left and right are back, so let's spend a New Year's Eve with this lonely master!

However, Emperor Zhengde woke up the next day and clamored to watch Jiang Bin dance pole dance.

Jiang Bin didn't know what a "pole dance" was, but only knew that it was Emperor Zhengde's "hometown dance", so Jiang Bin thought of Wu Ping'er.When a hulking Jinyi guard came to the palace to find Wu Ping'er and asked how to dance the "pole dance", Wu Ping'er and Wu Jie looked at each other, and then they laughed like crazy.

That Jin Yiwei blushed and stared at the two of them.Wu Ping'er laughed enough before saying seriously: "Sure, I'll jump up a section now, please Qianhu to look carefully! Go back and explain to Master Jiang." After finishing speaking, Wu Ping'er looked around and found that there were no pillars or trees around. There was only one Zhang Jin who happened to pass by.At that time, Zhang Jin only felt a gust of wind, and when he turned around, he saw the overwhelmed princess smiling at him.So Zhang Jin was caught and stuck there, with a stiff body and let Princess Wu walk around him with her arms around his waist, then she smiled gracefully, and hung her whole body on him, with her calves around his waist and her thighs teasing his abdomen .

Those provocative eyes, fiery movements, clung to Zhang Jin's undulating figure like waves... Poor Zhang Jin was sold into the palace when he was a child, and assigned to the unfavored bastard Zhu Chenhao as a servant. He was not smart, but loyal Geng Geng, because he was grateful for Zhu Chenhao's kindness to him, he secretly vowed to guard the prince for the rest of his life, and he didn't even think about marrying a wife, and he was not the only bachelor in the palace.However, today, he was so teased by the young and beautiful Princess Wu... And after the heartless Princess Wu finished teasing, she left him, a big bachelor with a small stick, to find her sweetheart bunny... …

Seeing all this, Imperial Physician Wu glanced at Zhang Jin, who was sweating profusely under a small tent, and said, "Zhang Yiwei seems to be feeling unwell?"

Zhang Jin didn't say a word, Wu Jie went around to him, stretched out his index finger and pushed lightly, Zhang Jin who had made things difficult for Wu Jie fell down gloriously.

Later, after watching that Jin Yiwei roughly imitate Wu's stepmother's "pole dance" to another Jin Yiwei with a stiff body, Emperor Zhengde leaned forward and backward with laughter.When he learned that Wu's stepmother's dance partner was Zhang Jin who once stirred a rag into his teacup, Emperor Zhengde rolled on the ground laughing, pulled Jiang Bin and said, "One thing is really one thing!
