However, Ma Ang is confident that he is not afraid of the censor coming to inspect, because Ma Ang’s backing is Ma Xun, the censor of the right capital of the current Zhongdu Procuratorate. Ma Ang is Ma Xin’s nephew. This Ma Xin has experienced orthodoxy, Jingtai

, Tianshun, Chenghua four dynasties, can be said to be the senior level. In the tenth year of Zhengtong (1445), Yichou Ke Jinshi, ranked third and 78th in the imperial examination. When he became an official, he first inspected the Ministry of Affairs and Etiquette. He worked his way up to the right of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The imperial censor of the capital was sent by the emperor last year to offer sacrifices to Nanyue Hengshan.

In the 13th year of Ma Ang's Zhengtong (1448), Jiazike Fujian Township Examination of Li Jingke was held. With the blessing of Ma Tong, he went to Qingjian in the Loess Territory and was appointed as the county magistrate.

This Ma'ang is not the same Ma'ang. Currently, the current Zuodu Censor and the Minister of War, Ma'ang, have nothing to do with this Ma'ang, and have nothing to do with Ma Ting. As for Ma Ting, there were five cases in the Ming Dynasty from Yongle to Hongzhi in a hundred years.

Some Jinshi named "Ma Tie" even served as officials in the same dynasty, which gave historians a headache, so they inevitably made some confusing accounts. Here we will clarify the "Five Horses' History"

.

1. Changting Jinshi Horse Taming, this is the horse taming of the Youdu Censor of the Duchayuan of the current dynasty.

2. Chang'an Jinshi Ma Xun, courtesy name Zhishan, was born in Tonghuali, Chang'an County, Xi'an Prefecture, Shaanxi Province. He ranked 49th in the Yiyou Township Examination. In the 10th year of Yongle (1412), there were 32 Gongshi Examinations, and 38 ranked third in the Renchen Imperial Examination.

Name: "Renchen Jinshi, Shujishi".

3. Ma Shun, a Jinshi from Neihuang, was born in Neihuang, Henan. He passed the Guimao Examination in Yongle and was a Jinshi in Dingweike in the second year of Xuande (1427). There were 17 top three Jinshis. Checking the list of Jinshi in Dingweike in Xuande, only Ma Shun was the one.

There is no Ma Ting, but the name on the inscription on the Jinshi List is Ma Ting.

4. Yongqing Jinshi Ma Xun, named Ziliang, was born in Yongqing County, Shuntian Prefecture. He ranked 127th in the Shuntianfu Township Examination. In the first year of Tianshun (1457), he participated in the Dingchou Science Examination and won the 31st place in the tribute examination. He ranked 31st in the imperial examination.

74 in the top three.

5. Ma Xun, a Jinshi of Yidu, was born in Yidu, Shandong. In the eleventh year of Hongzhi (1498), Shuntian passed the imperial examination. In the eighteenth year of Hongzhi (1505), he ranked third and 152th in the imperial examination.

Look at all these Ma Tamings who are currently serving as officials. In addition, there is also a military commander Ma Taming: In the 5th year of Zhengtong, he was promoted to Ganzhou Zuowei Commander Tongzhi Ma Taming as the commander and served in Jinwu. In the 14th year of Orthodoxy

, died in battle during the bandit rebellion, and his son Ma Lin took over.

Then he said that Lao Jintou returned home. After staying up all night, he finally calculated how much tofu he had sent to Mazhi County over the years. The total was seventy-three taels and four cents of silver. Lao Jintou looked at this amount and became more and more interested.

The more I thought about it, the more angry I got. No wonder no matter how hard I and the old lady worked day and night to make tofu, no money was saved, and all the money was given to Mazhi County.

Finally, he pressed his fingerprints and prepared to wait for the censor to arrive and show it to the censor, determined to bring down this corrupt official in Mazhi County. The next day, the fourth uncle brought news that the censor was the uncle of Mazhi County, Ma Xun.

Disciple, this is a bolt from the blue. There is no telling whether we can enforce the law impartially. Lao Jintou came to the back office of Mazhi County with an uneasy mood. When he looked through the crack in the door, he happened to see Mazhi County warmly entertaining the Censor.

As a result, Lao Jintou's heart was shaken again, and he clutched the bill in his hand tightly. This was seventy-three taels of silver. The tofu he had made for half his life was just gone. Although it hurt, but for the sake of

To live a good life is worth all the effort.

So the next day, Lao Jintou brought various gift cakes and an old hen to the houya in person to apologize for not being able to deliver tofu a few days ago. He said that the stone mill had been repaired and that he would steadily provide tofu in the future. Finally, he said

Ma Zhi County Road: "No matter when, the daughter can get married." Because who doesn't know that Jin's tofu shop has a beauty.

However, this time Ma Zhixian was not overly yin and yang, but poured tea for Lao Jintou, and was particularly enthusiastic. Such an abnormal attitude meant that something was wrong, but Lao Jintou had no awareness of this, and was only thinking about how to curry favor. He looked flattering.

He said: "If the Censor needs to give any testimony, I, Lao Jintou, will definitely stand up and praise Mazhi County."

Such an expression satisfied Ma Zhixian's heart. When it was time to say goodbye, Ma Zhixian even sent a special greeting to the door and sent back two bottles of Hongxin Erguotou produced by Ping'an Town. Oh my, this made Lao Jintou extremely moved.

The county magistrate is really our parent, and he loves his people like his own son.

In the evening, the Yamen's superintendent came to Lao Jintou's tofu shop in person and said: "The "Kuihua Building" in this city is the property of the magistrate. From now on, it belongs to you, Lao Jintou." After that, he continued.

He took out the house deed and said: "As long as Lao Jintou puts his fingerprints on this house deed, I have promised to marry the daughter of the Jin family in a few months. He also promised to renovate and expand the tofu shop and let Lao Jintou's nephew work in the Yamen."

, but once the Censor leaves, "Kuihua Tower" will have to be returned."

Oh, it turned out that it was just a pretense to transfer the property, but the remaining conditions were quite tempting. After a fierce ideological struggle, I still agreed to perjury and put my fingerprint on the house deed. The conditions offered by the magistrate were really too tempting.

Lao Jintou couldn't refuse. Thinking about the future, wasn't this what he was working hard to pursue? Now it was solved in one go. From now on, the magistrate will be his son-in-law. He has someone in the Yamen, and his nephew is also there.

Working in the yamen, who in Qingjian City still looks down on me.

A few days later, the royal censor left, and no evidence of corruption was found in Mazhi County. Lao Jintou continued to deliver tofu to the Yamen, turning over different patterns every day, sending a thousand pieces today, oiled tofu tomorrow, and incense the day after tomorrow.

Tofu. After this incident, the people in the city talked after dinner. On this day, Lao Jintou talked loudly in the teahouse and said that Mazhi County was taken care of by relatives of the Metropolitan Procuratorate of the dynasty, and the most frequent censors were also appointed by the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Can you be rude to Mazhi County? The youngest daughter in the family will also be married to Mazhi County as a concubine. In the future, Lao Jin’s family will also be a well-known family in the city. Who can look down on it...

The old Jintou became happier and more enthusiastic as he talked, and his face was filled with a long-lost smile.

After drinking tea, Lao Jintou felt that he was not satisfied yet, so he came to Wei's blacksmith shop. Today's Lao Jintou is not the same as the old Jintou who held the huqin in his hand a few days ago. After entering the shop, he came to

He turned around once and said in a weird voice: "The location here is the best in the whole city. Unfortunately, it won't be long before this place will be turned into my old Jintou's tofu shop." After saying this, he burst out laughing, but before he could laugh,

After I finished, I realized I had been punched in the face, my nose felt sore, and my face blossomed.

Lao Jintou covered his face and saw that it was Old Man Wei who was swinging his sandbag-like fist again. He was so frightened that he hurriedly ran out of the house and said, "Old Man Wei, you are so inhumane that you are beating someone up! I'm going to the Yamen to file a complaint."

Wait."

As he spoke, he pointed at Old Man Wei and said: "You man! Wait, I will ask the county magistrate to arrest you. If you don't make a fool of yourself, my old Jintou will no longer be surnamed Jin. I will change my surname to your family's surname Wei."

"

But a few days passed without any movement at the Yamen. A few days later, Qingjian County welcomed a group of Tiqi imperial envoys. When the large group of people with triangular green dragons and small yellow flags on their backs entered the city, they were drinking tea at the door of the teahouse.

The fourth uncle murmured to himself: "This day is going to change, and so will Qingjian."

In 1487 AD, in the first month of the spring of the 23rd year of Chenghua, Concubine Wan Zhen'er died of illness at the age of fifty-seven. Regarding Concubine Wan's death, she died of a sudden illness, that is, she died of an acute illness.

There are many speculations, which are reasonable. However, there is no record of what kind of disease he suffered from.

Some people say that the Queen couldn't stand Concubine Wan Gui's domineering behavior and bribed internal officials to drug her. Some insiders revealed that as the saying goes, people who are too insidious will eventually be punished. This is the case with Concubine Wan Gui. Concubine Wan Gui was beaten because of

The palace maid exerted too much force and died of a heart attack.

Zhang Zijun knew that at the 23rd hour of Chenghua, the Ming Dynasty was about to change its Yuan Dynasty. The cause of death of Concubine Wan Gui was a sudden myocardial infarction. This disease could be relieved by a "Suxiao Jiuxin Pill", but it was not available in the Ming Dynasty.

There are many prescriptions for treating heart diseases, such as Guixin Pills, Zhenxin Pills, Siwei Buxin Pills, Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction, etc. These prescriptions only play a regulating role, and can only be a sigh of relief for acute illness.

Relief, the imperial physician in the palace must have known about it, but within half a day, Concubine Wan Gui died. Some people said that the imperial physician deliberately let things go, because of what Concubine Wan Gui did. Whether it was in the inner palace or in the outer court, it can be said that everyone was looking forward to her.

die.

Especially the concubines in the court all hated Concubine Wan Gui. From 1465 AD, Emperor Yingzong passed away, and Zhu Jianshen inherited the throne, changed the Yuan Dynasty to Chenghua, and became the eighth emperor of the Ming Dynasty. The next year, Wan Zhen'er became Zhu Jianshen's wife.

After giving birth to a son, Zhu Jianshen was overjoyed and made Wan Zhen'er a noble concubine.

Originally, the ministers in the court were furious that the emperor favored the Wan family. In addition, Wan Zhen'er was seventeen years older than Zhu Jianshen, and now she was named a noble concubine. They were even more displeased.

Unfortunately, less than a month later, the prince died in infancy. Zhu Jianshen and Concubine Wan were very sad. Concubine Wan could no longer have children and could not be the empress dowager. Therefore, she hated other fertile concubines and poisoned several of them.

Prince.

This experience has been mentioned in the previous chapter. Zhang Zijun was demoted to Luzhou as the prefect because he prevented Wan from changing the crown prince. Although Zhu Jianshen loved Wan Zhen'er very much, the unfavored queen in Wan Zhen'er's heart was still

The thorn in her side was that she was not satisfied with her status as a concubine, she wanted to become a queen and the real master of the Sixth Palace. So after being scolded by the queen and sentenced to death with a cane, Wan Zhen'er lost no time in crying to Zhu Jianshen. Seeing the suffering of her beloved woman made her full of energy.

Zhu Jianshen ordered the empress to be abolished.

The strong opposition from the empress dowagers of the two palaces caused Wan Zhen'er to miss the queen's throne again, and handed over her distinguished status to the Wang family. The empress Wang was talented and indifferent, and she had long understood the ways of the palace.
