"...Mother!"

Empress Dowager Jiang looked at Zhu Qingyuan beside her and nodded her head: "After the wedding, when do you want to come to see the empress? Isn't it up to you? I don't want to see you hanging in front of my eyes now, go find Qingping and teach the emperor."

Ask for the secret method!"

Zhu Qingyuan is extremely coy, but she is getting older and older, and now she is indeed looking forward to her husband.

Zhu Houcong had already called Yan Song.

"I've entrusted you with Princess Yongfu's affairs. Do you have any clues?"

Yan Song was naturally eager to be a matchmaker for the emperor.

He immediately replied: "Your Majesty, I have been secretly paying attention to your Majesty's orders. If the military officer is not a Jinshi, he will not be a good match if he is not very capable. Moreover, Princess Yongfu's life is important, and the character of the consort is particularly important. I am ashamed, Xin

Although the imperial examination candidates have already paid attention to four people, the military attache is unable to make more friends, so he has to entrust them to Commander Luo."

"Which four people?"

After Yan Song mentioned the three names, he hesitated for a moment and then said: "The one I am most satisfied with is Xu Jie, the son of Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture, South Zhili."

Zhu Houcong couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Xu Jie?"

The expression is a little weird.

How can he remember which year Xu Jie became a Jinshi? He only knows that Xu Jie and Yan Song had a rivalry for many years, and in the end they "eliminated" Yan Song.

Unexpectedly, Yan Song actually recommended Xu Jie now.

Yan Song replied: "It's just that although Xu Jie has not consummated the marriage, he has already arranged a marriage. Regardless of whether he cancels the marriage in the future or whatever, it will eventually arouse criticism and show that his character is worrying."

Zhu Houcong nodded, understanding what he meant.

With Cui Yuanzhuyu in front, it will probably become a rule that a consort can hold an official position. If Xu Jie abandons the engaged girl for the sake of being a consort, what kind of good thing is that?

It would be even more outrageous if the emperor came forward to ask him to cancel the engagement.

So Zhu Houcong frowned and looked at Yan Song: "In that case, why do you mention him?"

Yan Song said awkwardly: "I am afraid that I have delayed His Majesty's important affairs, so I should report the truth truthfully."

Zhu Houcong glanced at him: "There's no rush to do this. It won't matter if you wait another two or three years. I just want you to pay attention to it secretly and don't think about anything else."

"...I obey the decree."

Yan Song thought to himself that Princess Yongfu would be nineteen years old soon. How about waiting another two or three years?

Even if the princess doesn't have to worry about getting married, the "old girl" will be criticized after all.

After Zhu Houcong left, he said to Gao Zhong: "Go out of the palace, wear ordinary clothes, and see what Yan Song said about the appearance, conversation, and character of the other three people."

"This slave obeys your order."

Zhu Houcong knew what Yan Song meant.

If the emperor was interested in and satisfied with Xu Jie, then he would naturally make arrangements so that Xu Jie would receive information from his hometown completely unknowingly during the imperial examination.

Regardless of whether the woman regrets the marriage or whatever, in short, Xu Jie's reputation will not be damaged and he will be a good candidate.

But Zhu Houcong didn't have a good impression of Xu Jie. After all, Hai Rui found out that his family owned hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land in "Qingliu".

After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly said: "Yu Chengye... Huang Jin, is Yang Tinghe's eldest son-in-law named Yu Chengxun?"

"Your Majesty, that's right." Huang Jin, who went to inform Cui Yuan, said sincerely, "Your Majesty has a good memory!"

One honor and one career are both from Qingshen County, Sichuan. Zhu Houhuan clicked his tongue: "I wonder if Yan Song and Yang Tinghe have discussed it."

If Yu Chengye becomes the consort in the future, wouldn't Zhu Houcong and Yang Shen have a relationship by marriage?

Yan Song was also a matchmaker and a disciple of Yang Tinghe.

The new law is so scary. Does Yang Tinghe have trouble sleeping every day?

But Yu Chengye must be good in all aspects, otherwise Yan Song wouldn't be so courageous.

"Your Majesty, would you like me to tell Commander Luo to conduct a secret investigation?"

"Check it out." Zhu Houcong said calmly.

Anyway, it’s just a list of candidates. In the end, it still depends on which one Zhu Qingyuan likes.

It's just that Yu Chengye, Xu Jie, and Zhu Houcong have all ruled it out in their hearts.

There are too many calculations. Although he also had political purposes in making Sun Ming his queen, his three views and cognition can ensure that he is an emperor who knows how to care for his woman.

But he doesn't have many expectations for other people in this era.

...After all, she is worried. After all, she is her own sister. She is slowly helping her find the right person. Empress Dowager Jiang can't bear it. If she searches randomly, won't it be troublesome in the future?

"Let's go to Kunning Palace!"

Need to adjust it first.

…

It was just a small case at first, but when Magistrate Wanping received the money and opened the door in the early morning and saw a letter nailed to the lintel with darts, things developed in a wonderful direction.

When Wanping County Magistrate arrived at the Shuntian Mansion Office, he found Shuntian Fu Yin, knelt down, and obediently took out seventy taels of silver: "Master, I really don't know what to do. The people sued the Marquis of Jianchang for seizing the land, and the Marquis of Jianchang

The steward of the government used coercion and inducement, and the matter involved a relative of the country. I originally wanted to turn it into a big deal, but it turned into a trivial matter. However, the host refused to live or die, so I had no choice but to come to ask for help from the governor. I asked the governor if he could return the silver on his behalf and persuade the prince.

Did the government return the people’s land?”

Shuntian Prefecture Yin Xufan looked at Magistrate Wanping with complicated emotions: "What kind of case is it?"

"No lives!" Magistrate Wanping immediately replied, "It's just six acres and one-fifth of the field. The lower official persuaded the Marquis of Jianchang's Mansion to manage the affairs, but the Marquis of Jianchang only wanted to add more money to buy the land, and the host refused to agree.

After all, he is the biological brother of the Empress Dowager Cishou, how can he be judged by a lower official?"

Xu Fan's eyebrows knitted together.

How comfortable is it to be the governor of Shanxi Province? Being the governor of Shuntian is really confusing.

There is no way of knowing what will happen on any given day, which relatives and important ministers will be involved.

Is the Marquis of Jianchang stupid about the six acres of farmland? Has it been too long since the Marquis of Shouning "absconded out of fear of crime" and was castrated by a bandit last year?

He didn't know that Magistrate Tian was originally planning to suppress the people, so he also collected money steadily.

Who knew that this time the sufferer would refuse to agree.

Therefore, Xu Fan could only draft a letter and have it delivered to the Marquis of Jianchang.

As soon as Zhang Yanling saw the letter, she couldn't hold back anymore. She called the steward and scolded him: "You paid two hundred taels, but you only gave seventy taels to the man named Tian? You told me that the matter was settled, so what is this?"

"

In the letter, Xu Fan sincerely advised: What kind of season is it now? It’s time to take care of things. The Marquis Mansion is so big, does it lack six acres and a quarter of land?

The steward was not willing to admit it, but he knelt down and let him beat him, but he could only shout: "Master Hou, you are wronged! That man named Tian clearly took one hundred and eighty taels, I just handed over some broken silver to the county government official. Now

They swallowed the money and then raked it back. This is just to deceive the prince into his current situation and to blackmail him!"

"...How can this be true? How can it be true?" Zhang Yanling asked sternly, "Is everything you said true?"

"It's absolutely true! How dare I be so bold?"

"Then you go to the Shuntian government office again and ask Xu Fan what he means? He also knows that it is only six acres and five cents of land? I have been angry for more than a year, but I still have to buy these six acres and five cents of land.

No! How much does it cost? I’ll tell you how much it costs!”

"...Then I'll give you another thousand taels first? Lord Fu Yin is no different from a governor-general after all..."

"Go quickly!"

Zhang Yanling vented her anger in the house, but waited until night before the guests arrived.

Xu Fan stood in front of him and asked: "Zhang Hou, I sent someone to deliver a letter this morning. Didn't Zhang Hou receive it?"

Zhang Yanling was dumbfounded: "Xu Fuyin, I am the Marquis... I have arranged for the manager Jia of the mansion to go to the government office to wait for arrangements?"

The two of them stared at each other, and after a while Zhang Yanling cursed loudly: "You're a stupid old man!"

... As domineering and domineering people, it is not surprising that the managers in the two brothers' houses are actually people with evil intentions.

But now seeing Zhang Yanling's angry and frightened expression, Xu Fan knew that things were not so easy to handle.

Who knows where the steward of Jianchang Houfu went during the day?

But is the matter of six acres and five cents of land worth the risk of Jia Guanshi absconding?

Xu Fan couldn't help but shuddered: "Zhang Hou, the person in charge of your house is not the remnant of the former Shouning Hou's traitor, right?"

Zhang Yanling immediately shuddered even more and said repeatedly: "Absolutely not! Absolutely not! Mr. Xu, tell me, how much does it cost? I don't want Tian anymore..."

"..."

Jin Yiwei Beizhen Fu Wang Zuo, who was well versed in human nature, knew the development of the matter and nodded with a smile: "Look at the people first. When Sun Ming gets the money, he can have a good time in Beijing, so that those who have been bullied by the Zhang brothers can be brave

Go and sue.”

In front of him, Si Cong, the commander of the Jin Yiwei, was sweating: "...wait for him to force me to ask for money again?"

"Yes, wait until he forces you to ask for money, then go to His Majesty to plead guilty."
