"I thought that when the late Emperor opened the way for public opinion, the officials governed the Ming Dynasty, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the subjects were so happy and excited. However, since he came to the throne, he has been playing around all day long, which is absurd. He is close to the villain and far away from the virtuous ministers. As a result, the country has been ruined and loyalty has been betrayed.

, thieves from all over the country are rising. As ministers who care about life, Li Xie and Liu did not try their best to let the current emperor know his return. They have really failed the late emperor's entrustment. Jiang Bin, Qian Ning and his like should be punished..."

The scholar named Brother Yuan Hao spoke impassionedly about the government affairs, as if he wanted to pick up a long sword and kill all the traitorous officials around the current Emperor Zhengde.

Another scholar echoed: "What Brother Yuanhao said is absolutely true. I was deceived by the traitorous ministers. This year, I actually built a government palace in Xuanfu, a border town. I proclaimed myself General Zhu Shou. He stayed in Xuanfu for a long time and never returned. He went out to travel in the mountains all day long.

It is really unreasonable to play with water and search for beauties, wives and daughters of Y people!"

An idea flashed in Xu Jin's mind. He vaguely remembered that there were similar records in the history books. During the Zhengde period, Boyan, a young Tatar prince in the north, led his troops to attack Datong, a border town in the Ming Dynasty. However, the playful Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao failed.

He was so excited that he immediately decided to go on a personal expedition. Regardless of the objections of his officials, he proclaimed himself the Great General Zhu Shou and personally led his troops into the battle. In the end, he actually won the battle and achieved the famous "Yingzhou Victory" in history.

A later movie called "You Dragon Plays with the Phoenix" was based on this period of history. Xu Jin had seen this movie, so he was deeply impressed.

But at this time, I heard what the scholar said, that the now mischievous Emperor Zhengde was stationed at Xuanfu in the border town and would not return, so it is said that this period of history recorded in the history books took place this year.

Xu Jin couldn't help but silently calculate that this year was the end of the twelfth year of Zhengde, and Zhengde's reign was only sixteen years, which meant that Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao had at most three years to be emperor before he died.

It is worth mentioning here that Emperor Zhengde died in a very dramatic way. This guy returned to the capital from the border town of Xuanfu for more than a year. Soon after, King Ning rebelled. At this time, Emperor Zhengde was planning to tour the south of the Yangtze River.

, this gave him an excuse to leave the capital, so he ignored the objections of the ministers and once again ordered all the soldiers and horses to go on a personal expedition. As a result, before the army arrived, King Ning's rebellion was suppressed by Wang Shouren, the censor of the Qian capital in the south of Jiangxi Province.

They were put down and Prince Ning was captured alive.

Emperor Zhengde was unhappy at this time, and pretended that he had not received the good news. The army continued to move south, touring the mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River. It was not until eight months later that he accepted Wang Shouren's prisoner offer in Nanjing, and performed a prisoner ceremony that was ridiculous.

After that, Emperor Zhengde escorted Prince Ning back to Beijing, and continued touring the mountains and rivers along the way. When they arrived at Qingjiangpu, Zhu Houzhao of Zhengde was fishing in a boat. As a result, the boat capsized and fell into the water. Although he was immediately rescued by the guards, he was choked.

He got water in his lungs and contracted pneumonia. He died in March of the following year at the age of thirty-six.

Although Xu Jin didn't know much about this period of history, he also remembered that King Ning's rebellion occurred shortly after Emperor Zhengde returned to Beijing from Xuanfu, so he could roughly deduce that King Ning's rebellion would happen next year or the year after, with a high probability of

The year after tomorrow.

So Xu Jin calmed down a lot. As long as he can get the title of scholar next year, he can go anywhere in the country to get it. At worst, he will stay away from Jiangxi and wait until Prince Ning, the short-lived ghost, is caught before he comes back to take the examination.

Xu Jin drank the last glass of wine. Seeing that the sky was already dark, he had no intention of listening anymore, so he paid and left, spending a total of twelve pence.

Just as Xu Jin walked out of Wangjiang Tower, he met two people who they knew each other. They were Guo Wencai, the son of Guo Yuan's wife, and Guo Jingui, the son of Guo Quan, the housekeeper.

Xu Jin couldn't help but frown. The saying "enemies meet on a narrow road" is really true. He didn't expect that he could meet these two guys in a county dozens of miles away.

Guo Wencai and Guo Jingui were stunned for a moment when they saw Xu Jin. The latter chuckled and said, "Oh, isn't this Xu Jin, the prodigal son of Xujiacun? Why, he had some money from selling his land and went to the county to have his teeth cut.

Zhai is here?"

Guo Wencai, who was fair and chubby, held a folding fan coquettishly with a look of disdain on his face.

"Shabi!" Xu Jin walked past the two of them in disgust.

Guo Wencai's expression changed slightly and he shouted coldly: "Stop, you dare to scold me!"

Xu Jin stood still and said calmly: "Did I scold you?"

Guo Wencai was immediately speechless. He didn't even understand what the word "shabi" meant. Naturally, he couldn't prove that Xu Jin was scolding him, but it was obviously not a good word.

"Shabi!" Xu Jin dropped two more words and walked away calmly.

Guo Wencai and Guo Jingui stared with anger. If they were in the countryside, they would use violence to solve the problem, but this is a county town, and their status here is nothing. Naturally, they would not dare to beat people in the street.

"Damn it, this kid is so arrogant, I will never let him go!" Guo Wencai's fat face turned red as he cursed angrily.

Guo Guijin chuckled and said: "Young master, don't be angry. My father has already told the old man Guo Fuzi that he will no longer be allowed to study in the school. If he fails to pass the examination as a scholar within two years, he will be expelled from the Xu family. Hey, then

We can do whatever we want to cripple him."

Guo Wencai said with a sullen face: "Don't say two years, I don't want to wait for two days!"

Guo Jingui said in embarrassment: "Master, this is the county town, we can't do anything dirty!"

"Follow him now, find out his purpose of coming to the county town, and find someone to beat him up when he leaves the county town." Guo Wencai said coldly.

"Okay, Master!" Guo Jingui agreed with a bitter face.

Guo Wencai knocked on Guo Jingui's folding fan and cursed: "Go quickly, don't waste time, I won't treat you badly, I will keep the good wine and food for you!"

Guo Jingui then left with a smile on his face, following Xu Jin from a distance.

"My husband is back!"

When Xu Jin returned to his residence, Xie Xiaowan came out to welcome him, gently took off his coat, and said, "Master, please wait a moment. I'll heat up the food and eat it."

At this time, the food was already on the table, but it was covered with bowls. Apparently the little girl had already prepared dinner and was waiting for her to come back to eat.

Xu Jin felt a little ashamed in his heart. He went out to eat out, but Xiaowan was waiting at home for him to come back for dinner. He quickly said: "Xiaowan, take a rest for a while, and I'll heat up the food!"

"My husband is a man, how can he go to the kitchen?" Xie Xiaowan rolled her eyes at Xu Jin, quickly picked up the plate and walked out.

Xu Jin shrugged helplessly, men in ancient times were really happy!

Soon, Xie Xiaowan heated up the dishes. There was a plate of bacon and stir-fried winter bamboo shoots that was full of aroma, and a plate of tofu mixed with green onions. It seemed that the little girl who was moving to a new house today was very generous in her frugality. This meal finally included meat.

"Mr., eat more!" Xie Xiaowan put a piece of bacon into Xu Jin's bowl.

Xu Jin also put a piece into the little girl's bowl and said with a smile: "Madam, please eat more. Look at how thin you have become. You can even catch the wind..."

Xu Jin stopped mid-sentence. Thinking of Xiaowan's bravery in kicking a water pirate on the big ship today, he really couldn't go on. It was really hard to imagine that this girl who was usually as docile as a kitten in front of him

, to be so strong and powerful in martial arts.

Xie Xiaowan blinked her dark eyes: "What do you want to say?"

"Nothing, just eat it while it's hot!" Xu Jin put the bacon in his bowl into Xie Xiaowan's bowl. He was a little tired after eating a plate of mutton.

Xie Xiaowan said doubtfully: "My husband, you want to eat too, isn't Xiaowan's cooking delicious?"

Xu Jin had no choice but to lie: "No, um... I'm a little afraid of eating fat!"

Xie Xiaowan groaned, lowered her head and bit off the fat half of the bacon, and put the remaining thin part back into Xu Jin's bowl.

Xu Jin was a little dumbfounded, but more moved, she was such a sweet and loved little girl.

Seeing Xu Jin eating lean meat with "relish", Xie Xiaowan's eyes turned into beautiful moon buds again.

"By the way, Xiaowan, who taught you martial arts?" Xu Jin suddenly raised his head and asked.

Xie Xiaowan replied a little uneasily: "My father taught me [Biquge www.biquku.biz]!"

Under the constraints of feudal ethics that a woman's lack of talent was considered a virtue, women were criticized for being able to read and write, let alone dance with guns and sticks. Xie Xiaowan didn't know Xu Jin's attitude, so she was a little uneasy.

Xu Jin was surprised and said: "Oh, it turns out that my father-in-law is also a master of martial arts. By the way, can I fly over eaves, walk over walls, climb on a cliff and cross water?"

Xie Xiaowan was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud: "My husband has read too many romance novels, how can he have such skill!"

Xu Jin smiled awkwardly and said, "No?"

When Xie Xiaowan saw that her husband didn't seem to mind her daughter's martial arts practice, she couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and shook her head: "Someone may be able to fly over the eaves and walk over the wall, but it is impossible to climb up and cross the water!"

Xu Jin suddenly became interested and asked: "Can my father-in-law fly over the roof and walk over the wall?"

Xie Xiaowan shook her head and said: "Dad might have been able to do it when he was young, but he can't do it now. My second brother can do it. He can jump nearly ten feet high and can run on the roof."

Xu Jin couldn't help but feel a bit tongue-tied. One foot is only over three meters, and a jump of nearly ten feet must be at least three meters. This is already very impressive. It seems that my father-in-law's family is not as simple as fishermen.

"Xiao Wan, if my husband makes you angry in the future, will you beat me with kung fu, just like beating a water thief!" Xu Jin joked.

Xie Xiaowan's expression suddenly changed and she said: "My husband, although Xiaowan has never read a book, he still knows that the king of heaven and earth is his master, the three cardinal guides and the five constant virtues, and he abides by women's ethics. How could he behave like an evil woman and beat her husband? If my husband is worried, then I will

Wan will never use martial arts again."

Xu Jin sweated secretly and said quickly: "Xiao Wan, don't get me wrong, I was just joking... Oops, my chest suddenly hurts!"

Xie Xiaowan immediately stood up nervously and stroked Xu Jin's chest for Xu Jin, and said anxiously: "Did you get hurt by that thief today? Sir, please don't scare me!"

"It's okay, but now it doesn't hurt. Maybe it's because the illness hasn't healed yet!" Xu Jin felt a little ashamed. This trick was the most effective for the little girl. He succeeded in distracting her attention every time. Alas, he suddenly felt

I am a bit shameless!

Xie Xiaowan rolled her eyes at Xu Jin: "My husband is lying again!"

Xu Jin chuckled, took Xie Xiaowan's little hand and said, "Xiaowan, you see my husband's body is so weak, can you teach me some kung fu?"

Xie Xiaowan shook her head and said: "My husband has passed the age of stretching his muscles and bones!"
