Unofficial History of Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty

Lu Qing slept in Jiang Bin's house for one night, and the next day was the Longevity Festival, Jiang Bin asked Uncle Wu to take good care of Lu Qing, and entered the palace before dawn.

In fact, there was nothing that Jiang Bin could use, everything was handled by Honglu Temple, Jiang Bin was only ordered to relieve Emperor Zhengde's boredom, and he was worthy of the reputation of a courtier.

Without Yang Tinghe's cabinet, it was as weak as a fish with thorns picked. Those civil servants who wandered around the cabinet also restrained a lot when they met Jiang Bin.

Forcing Li Dongyang away, recalling Yang Tinghe, and taking his father's illness into account, so that Yang Tinghe had to return to his hometown because of the ancestral system that the civil servants tried to maintain. , always taught Jiang Bin to smell something strange.For one thing, Yang Tinghe will not let it go.Secondly, Emperor Zhengde seemed to be a little too peaceful after taking power.

Thinking in this way, before he knew it, he had arrived at the terrace by the pool, and a group of maids in the corridor gracefully walked towards the pavilion with melons and fruits and snacks.It seemed that Emperor Zhengde should be there, Jiang Bin turned a corner and followed him from a distance.

Half of the water pavilion is built on the shore, and half of it stretches into the water. It is a good place to enjoy the scenery.The soft round, comfortably wrapped in the morning glow, is reflected in the middle of the water, and when the wind blows, it will wrinkle a layer of red light, which provokes frequent laughter on the shore.

Emperor Zhengde hugged left and right, enjoying the scenery with the beautiful woman comfortably.Those two Jiang Bin recognized - Ma Ang's younger sister, Ma Shi, and his concubine, Liu Shi.People always heard that the two were quite favored by Emperor Zhengde, but today they met for the first time.

Emperor Zhengde wore a purple round-neck robe and a net scarf on his head. From time to time, he leaned up to take a sip of the wine in the hand of the beauty, which attracted a burst of coquettish smiles. The scented sweat scarf dazzled his eyes. Zhang Yong lowered his eyes obediently, as if he had nothing to do with the pleasure-seeking in front of him.

Jiang Bin stood behind the rockery, and no one noticed for a while.By this pool, Emperor Zhengde once told him his reluctance to Li Dongyang, and he also took him to worship Zhutian Bodhisattva together. The prosperity of Guotai Minan is not in vain.

The embroidered fan bag at the waist and Yu Sinan with long tassels, illuminated by the setting sun, look like flattering red lips in front of Emperor Zhengde.

The bird resting on the rockery looked curiously at Jiang Bin who turned and left, then flapped his wings and disappeared into the depths of the imperial city.

On that day, the red-faced Emperor Zhengde was at the Xijiao Gate, exempted from civil and military officials and foreigners, and only performed five prostrations and three kowtows.Jiang Bin also got the reward, and passed it on to Lu Qing and Tang He.After drinking some wine at the banquet, when I went back, I thought of Wang Xun with two canine teeth.

It's time to go back and have a look.That question has been lingering in my mind for a long time.

During the jolt, I seemed to see Wang Xun's smiling eyes.He blurted out with the strength of alcohol, but woke himself up with a start.He straightened up suddenly, only to find that he was still in the sedan chair going to his own house.My heart was pounding, thankfully it was just a raving between half-dream and half-awake.

Outside, the bearer was still carrying the sedan chair steadily, as if he hadn't heard Jiang Bin's words, but Tang He, who was walking along with the sedan chair, had a half-smile on his face.

The next day, Jiang Bin woke up with a bit of a headache, and there was a drizzle outside. Jiang Bin didn't like other people's umbrellas, so he casually picked up the handle and went out. When he opened it, he found that there was Emperor Zhengde's name on the umbrella, with a cursive stroke at the end. There is also a smiling piggy attached.The rain soaked the umbrella surface, and the little pig's tail suddenly turned black. Jiang Bin put away the umbrella and stepped into the sedan chair in the rain.

Early in the court, the rain stopped, but Emperor Zhengde did not show up. All the officials inquired with each other, and only then did they learn from the inner officials that Emperor Zhengde took the two beauties presented by Ma Ang to Xuanfu Zhenguo Mansion to have a good time.In the chaos, many people turned their attention to Jiang Bin.There was some sympathy, some teasing, some cold-eyed watching, some gloating, Jiang Bin just looked at the empty dragon chair in a daze.

On the seventh day when Emperor Zhengde lingered in Xuanfu, Jiang Bin took a few small clothes sewn by Li Shichun's wife and went to Datong on leave.However, Qiu Ying's delivery date was brought forward, and when Jiang Bin arrived, he saw her holding a baby in her arms.

The baby's face was flushed from crying, his facial features were wrinkled, and he didn't know what his features were. Sun Zhen, who came here specially, stood by the bed and touched his chin.

A smile appeared on Zhang Yu's fair face: "I'm willing to gamble and admit defeat, what did you say at the beginning? I have to bear the name of 'foster father' first!"

"If you can't be a foster father, you can't be a master?" Sun Zhen said unconvinced.

Seeing the two quarreling, Xiao Fu couldn't help laughing and said: "Father Tiger has no dogs! Anyone can teach me, I'm afraid I will spoil the sky!"

The few people talked to each other, which made Qiu Ying smile, but Wang Xun stopped talking when he smiled. Jiang Bin felt sour when he saw his appearance.

After all, Qiu Ying was weak and couldn't bear the fatigue, several people asked the nanny to take good care of him, and then hugged the child around, and then left without feeling satisfied.

The house had prepared good wine and food early on, and Sun Zhen filled Jiang Bin's wine again after eating half of it, and asked him why he named the child "Xin".

"Wang Xin, whose name is Chang Yue, naturally hopes that he will live a happy life." Zhang Min replied on behalf of Jiang Bin.

"Then you can't be an official?"

"Why not?" Zhang Min's face was also stained with drunkenness.

"As an official, there is no such thing as a carefree life. It's better to set up an acre of land and raise a few fish..."

"Da Yin hides in the court." Xiao Jui said, "When Xin'er is one year old, you might as well see what he caught."

When they talked about drawing lots, they all became interested.Back then, Sun Zhen grabbed writing brushes, Zhang Min grabbed rouge, Xiao Ju grabbed pastries, but Jiang Bin never caught them, so they laughed and said how inaccurate the lottery was.Finally, when asked about Wang Xun, who was drinking all the time, Wang Xun opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

Drunk, all drunk, so drunk that he could still tell the direction, he helped Wang Xun to lie down in the room, Jiang Bin begged for hangover soup to feed him, but he heard him half-opening his eyes and said, "That year, the official seal he caught , but I grabbed him by the ankle... Thinking about it, it's always like this. If you get into trouble, you have to take care of him, and you have to accommodate everything... I always know it later, but maybe, it's not too late now..."

Jiang Bin put down the bowl, asked Wang Xun to lie down, and covered him with a quilt, but Wang Xun suddenly grabbed him, took out a volume of secret edict from under the pillow, and handed it over, "The emperor ordered me to stand by as Datong."
