I can’t blame Zhang Juzheng for having mixed feelings in his heart at this moment.
So sad.
It is said that illness comes like a mountain.
His disease.
The crisis of Lao Zhang's family suddenly came. It seemed that the building was about to collapse overnight, but he dragged his sick body and was helpless on the bed.
He wanted to get up but was unable to do so.
As for those sons who took the imperial examination...
Not to mention.
Those nerds were of no use at all. They were okay writing articles and revising history books in the Hanlin Academy, but they couldn't afford the Zhang family.
The only useful person, the fourth child, was almost deprived of his military power.
Suddenly.
Zhang Juzheng shuddered, his breathing became rapid, and his weak body broke out in a cold sweat. He was shocked by the vicious methods of his student, the young emperor.
That student of his.
With one strike, he hit the teacher's seven-inch vital point. This sophisticated method made the teacher Zhang Juzheng's face look uncertain for a while.
Very angry, impatient, but also a little anxious.
Gradually calmed down.
Zhang Juzheng sighed quietly, who did he learn such sophisticated methods from, and who personally trained this scheming emperor?
It's himself.
At this moment, Zhang Juzheng was about to cry but had no tears, and murmured to himself: "You are trapped in a cocoon."
After all, it was Zhang Juzheng. Although his face was a bit pale, he quickly calmed down and thought of the cheap son-in-law Shen Lie who supported the Zhang family.
But I felt a little lucky in my heart.
"If it weren't for Shen Lie..."
I'm afraid that the old Zhang family is now a piece of fish at the mercy of others.
Think about this.
The father and son were silent for a long time, each thinking in his mind. The most imminent crisis was temporarily relieved, and the old Zhang family had a glimmer of hope.
a long time.
Zhang Juzheng just let out a weak cold snort: "I'm not dead yet!"
Following this cold snort.
The room became silent again.
After a while.
Zhang Juzheng closed his eyes slightly, but said slowly: "This time Shen Lie got rid of a serious problem for you, Jian'er... you should also take some responsibility."
Zhang Jianxiu's eyes flashed, he lowered his head and said, "Yes... I understand, kid."
Afternoon.
Zuixianju.
The luxurious restaurant was bustling with people. The adults in new clothes and the children of the powerful kept bowing and wishing each other happy new year after meeting.
According to the custom of the Ming Dynasty, the first lunar month is the New Year. Starting from the second day of the Lunar New Year, more grand celebrations are about to begin.
There are lanterns, temple fairs, and sacrificial ceremonies one after another.
I am full.
Drink enough.
Checked out...
The waiter entered the private room, put away the dishes, and brought the best West Lake Longjing, a plate of frozen pears, a plate of winter dates, a plate of fried potato chips, and a plate of cut rock sugar tomatoes.
"Huh?"
Li Rusong picked up the plate of bright red tomatoes and looked at them again and again, and couldn't help but wonder: "It's freezing cold here... Where do you get the fresh fruits and vegetables?"
You can also eat fresh fruits during this season.
It must be very expensive!
Before this winter, Ming Dynasty also had off-season vegetables, which were all grown in greenhouses, but because of the high cost, very few were grown.
Generally speaking, it is only served to the palace and the emperor's relatives, and is never seen in ordinary restaurants.
then.
Li Rusong suspected that these out-of-season fruits, as well as the fresh dishes he had just eaten, such as cucumbers and eggplants, were grown in Shenjiazhuang.
Shen Lie picked his teeth and wrote lightly: "Can I tell you this?"
Can business secrets like biogas greenhouses be disclosed casually?
Li Rusong rolled his eyes and couldn't help but praise: "It's really you... Hiss... Brother Shen Xian is really good at making money!"
Mr. Li seemed to have seen that in the first month of the tenth year of Wanli, countless large gold ingots were being thrown into this private room.
Hit Brother Shen Xian on the head.
This winter is over...
How much money do you need to make?
Li Rusong was filled with admiration.
But Shen Lie quickly changed the subject, and while picking his teeth, he said softly: "Now that Zheng Shuyi has lost her holy family, there must be some overt and covert fighting in the palace... What do you think?"
Let’s talk about business.
Li Rusong also became serious and said in deep thought: "There is no small matter in the Tian family. In the past two days, I don't know how many people have been holding back and stuffing women into the emperor's dragon bed!"
Shen Lie asked suspiciously: "What do you mean?"
Seeing him still a little confused.
Li Rusong came over again and said softly: "I'm afraid you don't know something about the situation in the palace. Do you really think that Concubine Wang Gong, who gave birth to the emperor's eldest son for our Ming Dynasty... is really just a member of the Queen Mother's Palace. Sweeping the floor as a palace maid?"
Shen Lie felt awe-struck and hurriedly asked: "Then who is she?"
Li Rusong's eyes sparkled, and he whispered: "She was born in the left guard of the Xuanfu... Could it be that you really thought that the emperor was drunk that night and met her by chance?"
The implication.
How could there be such a coincidence in this world? There were three thousand beauties and countless beautiful maids in the Forbidden City, and the emperor happened to meet her?
Do you believe it?
Shen Lie was speechless.
Savoring the three flavors in these words, looking at Li Rusong's meaningful face, I suddenly understood, who made the emperor meet Concubine Wang Gong after drinking?
In an instant.
A flash of lightning seemed to flash across Shen Lie's mind.
There was a pause.
Shen Lie lost his voice and shouted: "Someone is plotting against the Queen?"
Li Rusong was startled, and quickly reached out his hand to cover Shen Lie's mouth firmly, muttering in a low voice: "Please be gentler!"
Just know it in your heart.
Hold back and yell!
That look seemed to be saying.
Is this your first day as an official, Shen Lie? Can this fight for favor in the harem be called a conspiracy? If you can put a woman on the emperor's bed and create a prince.
How many people have become successful overnight?
His mouth was covered by Mr. Li.
Shen Lie couldn't help but open his eyes in surprise, and suddenly understood everything in his heart, and couldn't help but curse in his heart.
"Okay!"
It is indeed worthy of the prosperous Ming Dynasty.
Up and down, all forces have their own agendas.
It's only superficially apparent on paper. Only by living in this era can we understand what messy things happened in the deep palaces of the prosperous Ming Dynasty.
So much so that the emperor drowned at every turn, died after taking medicine, red pill cases, fighting for the country's foundation, and palace transfer cases emerged one after another, until the end...
In just a few decades, the prosperous Ming Dynasty was completely destroyed.
That's exactly what was said.
If you don't commit suicide, you won't die.
Those high-sounding and even fabricated affairs of the emperor’s family in the history of the Ming Dynasty, who knows how much shady filth is hidden behind them.
For a while.
Shen Lie's mind was buzzing with Queen Wang, Concubine Wang Gong, Zheng Shuyi...
This harem is too chaotic.
After another period of silence.
Li Rusong then said softly: "Li thought that for the present plan, we should take advantage of that charming girl's fall from favor and stuff a few decent-looking women around the emperor, so that the emperor would be fascinated by them as soon as he saw them... Look for her according to Zheng Shuyi's appearance...don't be too dignified."
Shen Lie was speechless.
Rolled his eyes.
He couldn't help but said angrily: "Does Mr. Li know such a woman?"
Li Rusong's eyebrows were dancing and he said: "That's natural. Li has already rushed eight hundred miles to fly to Liaodong. He asked my father to find some charming young women with lively temperaments among the Tieling Guards and send them to the capital as soon as possible."
