Zhou Yu's sister is Empress Dowager Zhou.

Empress Dowager Zhou was already the Empress Dowager of this dynasty.

Empress Dowager Zhou was the biological mother of Emperor Chenghua. As we all know, the legitimate empress of Yingzong was Empress Qian. When Emperor Yingzong was trapped in Nangong, Empress Qian cried and wanted to help her husband even if she was blind. Even if Emperor Yingzong restored the throne, she could not change the status of Empress Qian.

As for Zhu Youzhang.

My mother Ji was killed early, and Emperor Chenghua's original wife, Empress Wu, had long been deposed, and Empress Wang was not favored. Wan Zhen'er favored the six palaces. Zhu Youzhang lived in fear since childhood, and it was only raised by his grandmother, Empress Zhou, to live safely until adulthood.

After Zhu Youzhang ascended the throne, how could he not be filial to his biological grandmother?

As the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Zhou, Zhou Yu gained a certain status in the Hongzhi Dynasty, but he still couldn't compare with his time in Chenghua. Now, the relatives in the court are the Zhang brothers.

If you have any questions, of course, you also ask the Zhang brothers for help.

...

All the wine and food are served.

Even the singers called in ten.

The room was full of flowers.

For Zhou Yu, perhaps this cost is nothing, as long as Zhang Yanling can help him settle the case.

The feast of Huajiu begins.

Zhou Yu gave the Zhang brothers a cup first, and Zhang Heling asked drunkenly, "I was talking about Mancang'er before, but I heard that Nai Song Girl is related to you, Old Zhou?"

"Isn't this just because it's okay to make people anxious?" Zhou Yu put down his wine glass and said angrily, "This Mancang'er was originally a daughter of a thousand households named Wu Neng. His father is also extremely incompetent as his name is. He did not even marry a daughter. He actually sold his daughter to a matchmaker and sold it to a music worker named Yuan, becoming a singer."

"Who knew that his mother came here this year, but this girl refused to recognize her mother and was tied back by her mother."

"The musician named Yuan is also honest and cannot buy it for ten taels of silver. He sued the government office. The officials of the Ministry of Justice brought him to the court for interrogation and beat him up. After returning, he died. The officials of the Ministry of Justice also sentenced Mancang'er to his mother."

Zhang Heling's head was not clear at first, but he frowned and said, "What does it have to do with you in a mess?"

Zhou Yu said: "It's strange. When the matchmaker sold his daughter, he lied that this girl was the daughter of my Zhou family and said that she had sold her to me as a stepdaughter. Isn't this nonsense?"

"It was even more outrageous later. Mancang'er had an affair with the nephew of the eunuch Yang Peng of the East Factory. The East Factory intervened in the case and dealt with the doctor in charge of the Ministry of Justice and Yuanwailang, who was in charge of the case, said that they were careless about their lives and beaten to death by the musician named Yuan."

"Now Mancang'er's whereabouts are unknown. Dongchang is searching everywhere. The Ministry of Justice and Dongchang will go to my house for a walk."

"Is that trying to find someone? Isn't it just trying to cheat me, Mr. Zhou's money? I'm never tired of it."

Zhang Heling said: "Since it has nothing to do with you, just tell them clearly."

Zhang Yanling took over the topic and asked, "Then can you know Mancang'er, you and Mancang'er?"

"How can I know? It's just that I'm living things for no reason." Zhou Yu said with confidence.

Zhang Yanling said: "What's the appearance of this woman?"

Zhou Yu showed a smirk on his face and said, "It's pretty good..."

Then I thought that I just said I didn’t know Mancang'er, and I said I was pretty good. Wouldn’t I just tell myself?

He quickly changed his words and said, "I'll just hear it."

When he talks about this, he can see that Zhou Yu was not wronged. It is very likely that Mancang'er was sold to his Zhou family back then, and perhaps he was tired of playing by Zhou Yu and sold it to a musician named Yuan.

Otherwise, why would a thousand-family family sell their daughter to a matchmaker? Of course, they wanted to rely on their daughter to curry favor with Zhou Yu, a royal relative.

This is true.

But I didn't expect that Zhou Yu was not a good thing. After playing, he didn't accept the title and even sold it to a lowly singer.

Wu Neng pushed his daughter into the fire pit.

Zhou Yu said: "This case is quite tricky now. I heard that the Criminal Department of the Court reported to the minister today, which made His Majesty angry. If the situation continues, I am afraid that it will involve my Zhou family..."

Zhou Yu was so anxious that Zhang Yanling even more affirmed his thoughts.

If the person really has nothing to do with you, they will check it. The relationship between Mancang'er and you is always lying to others. The more you worry, it doesn't mean that the matter has something to do with you?

Zhang Yanling said: "Since we are all going to the Majesty, then we brothers will not be able to deal with it."

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Others can't do it, Jianchang Bo... Can you and Hou Shouning say that you two can't do it? Just say hello to Your Majesty and say that this woman is dead. Wouldn't it be enough for the case to end here?"

Zhou Yu wanted the Zhang brothers to stand up in this situation, and he wanted to use their brothers.

"Okay, I'll go and talk to His Majesty if I have the chance to talk to you. Today's drink..." Zhang Yanling seemed to agree.

Zhou Yu said readily: "Of course I wrote it in my account, which makes people pay for the wine and will not disturb your interest. I will go now."

First, it was my master, and then I, now I have become a despicable person.

You, Zhou Yu, don't look like a principled person either.

Zhang Yanling thought about it for a while and it seemed that none of the foreign relatives of the Ming Dynasty could be on the table.

Except for yourself.

...

...

I ate a drink until the sun sets.

Zhang Heling enjoyed it completely.

He played with it horizontally and vertically, and when he came out, he swayed and hummed. Those who didn't know thought he was lucky.

"Second, you don't really plan to help the Zhou man tell his brother-in-law about that case, right?" Zhang Heling seemed afraid that his younger brother would be in trouble, so he did not forget to ask when he came out.

Zhang Yanling smiled and said, "Brother, do you think our brothers are the kind of people who collect money to eliminate disasters for others?"

Zhang Heling shook his head seriously and said, "No."

"That's it. His surname is Zhou, who invited us to have a meal, and asked us to do things for him. He thought too well of good things. It would be good if I didn't turn the tables on him." Zhang Yanling said leisurely.

Zhang Heling was very satisfied with his younger brother's answer and smiled and said, "It's my second brother!"

The group left Beiju Xianfang, and further forward was the way to Chongjiaofang Confucian Temple and Imperial College, but saw many scholars running forward, as if they were going to gather together to join in some fun.

Zhang Heling frowned and said, "It's not that boy is going to come out to give lectures again in the morning, right? Is it over?"

Zhang Yanling grabbed a running boy and asked, "What happened to this brother?"

The man glared at Zhang Yanling and found that Zhang Yanling was dressed in extraordinary clothes and was following many servants. After not daring to be annoyed, he pointed to the direction of the Confucian Temple and said disdainfully: "I'll go to the Confucian Temple to watch the show."

"What kind of show is it?" Zhang Yanling asked.

"Of course I saw the good show of Prince Yan Sheng Gong. I heard that in the court today, he was revealed that "Bamboo Born in Stone" was not written by him, but he secretly occupied other people's cultural reputations and was stabbed to the top of the saints. Such a traitor and evil person is still left in the Kong family. How can he represent the ethics of the Ming Dynasty? We all want to ask for an explanation!"

Seeing this person's indignation, he probably felt that he was deceived by his idol and was angry and wanted to condemn him.

Zhang Heling asked in confusion: "What does it mean to steal the name of a literary person?"

"I'm afraid this kind of guy is not a scholar, right? I don't even know what it means to steal the name of the article?" This man looked at Zhang Heling with disdain.

Zhang Heling immediately wanted to beat someone.

Zhang Yanling smiled and stopped him, saying, "It's just stealing other people's reputation. Anla. This guy, since he is a member of the Kong family, are you going like this... aren't you afraid of causing trouble?"

The man cursed: "Why don't he, a person who deceives the world and steals the reputation of others, think about causing trouble when he is cheating on others? Everyone should denounce the scammers, and he is not worthy of staying in the Kong family!"

Good guy.

In the morning, he was still the number one idol of the Ming Dynasty, but in the afternoon he became a rat crossing the street that everyone shouted and beaten.

This change is too...

Is it too much for you to take advantage of the situation?

I should learn from me, Zhang Yanling.

Be reasonable!

Zhang Yanling thought about it for a while and suddenly found that the impulsive young man in front of him was still very suitable for his appetite. He let go of his hand and asked him to continue chasing the sunset towards the Confucian Temple to the west.

"I like it." Zhang Yanling couldn't help but say.

Zhang Heling frowned and looked at his younger brother, "What do you like?"

Zhang Yanling smiled and said, "Of course I like to see these stinky old ninth fights. The more they fight internally, the happier we will be, aren't we?"

Zhang Heling said with a straight face: "These stinky old ninths really don't know what they are going to do. They were still at the entrance of the Confucian Temple in the morning and listened to the boy's lecture. Why did the wind change in the afternoon? So it's not a good thing to say. The more you read, the more you become stupid."

It seems that he is very prescient in his words and has not read too many books to become stupid.

The two brothers said goodbye at the street intersection.

Zhang Yanling returned home in a good mood and was told that Xiao Jing had been waiting in Jianchang Bo Mansion for almost an hour.

"Eunuch Xiao, I won't see you today. Where are you going to get rich?" Zhang Yanling asked with a smile.

This time, when Xiao Jing saw Zhang Yanling, he not only respectfully, but also bowed and refused to calm down, saying, "Brother Jianchang, you are joking."

"You are talking about the ministers in the court today. After I came back, I heard people mention that you are really a talent in the Ming Dynasty. In the future, the literary world of the Ming Dynasty will depend on you..."

Xiao Jing said the words, and the people who say them don’t feel sour, and the people who hear them feel sour.

Zhang Yanling said: "Eunuch Xiao, I can't afford to wear your high hat. I just got something stolen and asked him back in front of His Majesty. Eunuch Xiao didn't make a special trip to say compliments, right?"

"No, I have no compliments, it's all from the heart."

"Today, your Majesty asked me to pass on oral orders, and I will enter the palace and discuss the successor of the Confucian Temple with the four elders. I will take the words here and leave. I will be busy with your noble people, so I dare not disturb you."

Xiao Jing waited for an hour before the victim came back. Fortunately, he was really interested in waiting.

I was supposed to leave a message and notify me.

But after thinking about it, the emperor said that Zhang Yanling and the four elders of the Pavilion will discuss the successor of the Confucian Temple. Xiao Jing really dared not neglect such a big matter.

Seeing Xiao Jing leaving, Zhang Yanling asked, "What are Eunuch Xiao doing today? I've only seen you yet?"

Xiao Jing smiled bitterly and said, "I can't tell anyone to outsiders, but since you are the Lord, how can I not tell the truth? I'm just going to investigate a case, and someone in Naidong Factory covers up the singer's daughter..."
