Time flies by, and four years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, who was fatuous and incompetent and twice emperor, died. Prince Zhu Jianshen succeeded to the throne and changed the Yuan Dynasty to Chenghua. Although Zhu Jianshen was young, he was wise and tolerant. In the early years of his reign, he restored the title of emperor Zhu Qiyu and redressed Yu Qian's grievances.
Appointing wise ministers, merchants and others to govern the country can be said to be a king's demeanor.
As soon as he took office, he paid attention to promoting talents. He summoned Liu Jian, who was the envoy of Nanzhili at that time, and Li Dongyang, who was also the governor of Hangzhou, into the capital to work for Zhan Shifu. When the prince grew up, he would speak for the East Palace.
official.
At the Yangtze River Wharf in Jinling City, Liu Jianzheng, who is in his twenties, is handsome and handsome, as elegant as a gentleman, with a deep sense of elegance all over his body.
At this time, he was standing in the flower hall in the backyard of the Yamen, watching with reluctance the servants at home, carrying boxes and boxes of things, loading them into cars and transporting them away.
"My husband is deeply honored. We are going to Beijing to work this time, but you must be careful and concentrate on your work. Don't get caught up in party disputes. Everything is respected for the country. I must be a good support for my husband!"
Mrs. Wang looked at Liu Jian with a smile, admiration on her face.
My husband is really a good man. It is really great that he sought to be released when the late emperor was in his old age, and then he could enter the capital when the new emperor ascended the throne and display his grand plans.
"Madam, you are indeed my virtuous wife." Liu Jian sighed slightly, and then said proudly: "Although today's emperor has just ascended the throne, he is already a wise king. Simply restoring the title of Dai Zong and redressing Shaobao's grievances can win over the hearts of the world.
Serving for such a sage will definitely lead to success, and our grand ambitions are about to unfold right before our eyes."
Having said this, he sighed again: "Speaking of which, Li Dongyang and I are proud of each other, but compared with brother Zi Heng, we are still far behind!"
He is now in the capital with the official position of Inspector and Envoy of Nanzhili, serving as Shaozhanshi of the Zhanshi Mansion. Like Li Dongyang, he is from the fourth rank.
But his friend Feng Zhoufeng Ziheng, who was on the same list, had returned to the Ministry of Punishment and became the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment.
You must know that Feng Zhou was only twenty years old, but he was already a high official in the imperial court. He was on the same court as the Minister of Justice, and he was like a small mountain.
This was done by assisting the army in killing the rebels one by one during their inspection in Henan, making the army's counterinsurgency operation extremely smooth.
So at this point, although Feng Zhou is young, he is sure of his work, knows how to advance and retreat, and is generous in his conduct. Regardless of the civil service system or the military commander system, Feng Zhou has considerable influence. What is even more terrifying is the astonishing appearance of his body.
With martial arts, one person can defeat thousands of troops. Whether it is to protect the sky or to quell the war, he has made great contributions.
Therefore, although he is only twenty years old, his status in the court is extraordinary.
Young talents throughout the ages are few and far between!
While Liu Jian was sighing with his wife, he took his wife Wang, his four-year-old eldest son Liu Lai, and his two-year-old second son Liu Dong to the pier in a carriage and boarded the ship back to Beijing.
Since they were sensible, this was the first time for the two children to board such a spacious and beautiful official ship. They couldn't help but cheer and run around. When they were worried about trivial matters, they looked surprised at everything and made bursts of noise from time to time.
Surprised. The maidservant and the mother-in-law only suffered a lot. They chased after the two brothers and kept shouting. Each of the little ancestors shouted loudly.
Soon, the two brothers were sweating and very tired. They were immediately sent to the cabin by a group of maids and women to freshen up. After changing into fresh clothes, they came over and gathered next to their parents to listen to their father's talk about the capital.
's story.
Liu Jian looked at his two sons and said with a smile: "As a father and a good friend of the same ranking, he is a great person. He got married the year before last and his child is almost two years old. He is about the same age as Dong'er. You will definitely become good friends.
of……"
In a tavern not far from Jinling Pier, two good-looking young people were having a drink. They saw the scene of the Liu family boarding the ship on the pier, and they smiled in unison.
"Brother Huai'an, that is Liu Jian and Liu Xixian, who were awarded Jinshi together with my eldest brother. He is currently serving as the inspector general of the Southern Zhili Province. This time he came to Beijing as an official of the East Palace. I think it will be of great use!" One of them said:
The twenty-year-old young man, with keen eyesight, vigorous spirit, and very flexible eyes, asked Liu Jian as he looked at the jade tree on the pier that stood in the wind.
"Brother Chishui, your eldest brother is the Minister of Feng. It is said that he is a close friend of Liu Qianshi. Don't you know him?"
The man named Huai'an had a heroic face and extraordinary bearing, as if he were a general fighting on the battlefield, but he had the demeanor of a scholar and asked with a smile.
"Brother Huai'an, it's true that Brother Feng and I are sworn brothers, but we met at the end of our childhood. In the past few years, I have been practicing martial arts on Xiandu Mountain and have been exchanging letters. Naturally, I have never met Mr. Liu. Besides, I have never met him.
, He is an official and I am a citizen, so I am not qualified to know him!"
Brother Chishui looked helpless.
"Haha, I see, that's it." Brother Huai'an smiled faintly and teased with a twitch in his eyes: "Speaking of which, Brother Chishui is a native of the capital, and things on the street are well known. After returning to Beijing the other day, there will be a brother carrying shoes, and
With my profound powers, I can realize my great ambitions!"
"Hehe, brother Huai'an is joking, joking!"
Brother Chishui spoke modestly and had a very indifferent expression on his face. He shook his head and said with a smile: "When I was in the capital, I was just a little beggar. I was bullied by a few beggars. If I hadn't met my brother Feng and my senior sister, I would be in trouble."
Now I am nothing more than a withered skeleton in the wilderness."
Brother Chishui is none other than Feng Zhou's sworn brother, Li Chishui, a rookie of the Xiandu Sect.
After he met Feng Zhou and Xu Ting, he happened to join the Xiandu sect to study. He also happened to assist Qiu Moyan with Xu Ting, and helped Zhou Huai'an kill Cao Shaoqin and Dongchang masters, and save Yang Yuxuan's descendants. Therefore, he and Zhou Huai'an in front of him
Huai'an is a life-long friendship.
After that incident, he returned to Xiandu Mountain to continue his studies. Now four years have passed, and he has long since lost his former beggar spirit and turned into a heroic young hero, quite famous in Jiangnan Wulin.
.
This time, I received a letter from my brother Feng Zhou, saying that since he has become a martial artist, he will return to Beijing to help him and create a new situation together.
Therefore, we drove north in bright clothes and angry horses. On this day, we passed by Jinling and happened to meet Zhou Huai'an, our old friend. So we sat down and had a drink together in this small tavern.
After the two had a conversation, Li Chishui couldn't help being surprised and happy: "It turns out that Brother Huai'an is also coming to Beijing!"
"Yes, the late emperor passed away and now he ascends the throne. As soon as he takes the throne, he shows his aura of being a wise king, restores the dignity of Emperor Jingtai, and vindicates Shaobao's grievances. Yang Yuxuan, Lord Yang's bones also need to be reburied, as the subordinates of his subordinates back then.
Next, Zhou will have to go to the capital for some business and private operations."
Zhou Huaian smiled softly and said calmly.
It turns out that five years ago, Zhou Huaian contacted the righteous men in the Jianghu, rescued Yang Yuxuan's flesh and blood, beheaded Cao Shaoqin and his party at the Longmen Inn, and took Yang Yuxuan's flesh and blood to the outside of the Great Wall.
Although he was a righteous man in the world, and many bigwigs in the imperial court secretly wrote letters of appreciation to him, but after all, he killed the emperor's slave, and if the emperor didn't nod, he was a criminal.
Now that the Yingzong has passed away and the new emperor has come to power, he has granted amnesty to the whole world. Naturally, his heroic deeds were praised by the court.
On the one hand, he came to Beijing to rebury his master Yang Yuxuan, and on the other hand, he sought to revive him and give Qiu Moyan a royal decree.
