Chapter 7 The royal family behind the Chang family
Chapter 7 The royal relatives behind the scenes of the Chang family ()
Unknowingly, Chang Xiao came to the outside of a large house. The house was very quiet, incompatible with the hustle and bustle of the Chang Mansion, and even felt a bit eerie. It didn't look like a place where normal people would stay.
Chang Fu smiled at the side and said: "Sir, the front is Master Huang Xian's residence. His old man treated you for the soul-leaving syndrome last night and then left in a hurry. It seems that there is something urgent. I'm afraid he won't be able to come back for a while.
Now, the young master will have some free time during this time."
Chang Xiao was sighing in his heart. He was stunned when he heard this, and then he remembered that he had a master who pretended to be a god. A trace of disdain appeared on his face and said: "Bullshit, just a guy who pretends to be a god. Such a person who cheats and gets money can be beaten with a stick."
It’s to give him face…”
Before Chang Xiao could continue speaking, Chang Fu and Chang You turned green. They quickly pulled Chang Xiao and shook their heads and waved their hands. Looking at the posture, they even thought of stepping forward and covering Chang Xiao's mouth. Unfortunately, given their status, they did not dare to do this.
Do.
Chang Fu said anxiously: "Sir, you don't dare to say anything nonsense about Master Huang Xian. If someone hears it and spreads it to the ears of the old man, the old man will have to break your legs, sir!"
Chang Xiao raised his eyebrows, and then suddenly something strange came to his mind, as if something was missing. After thinking about it, he suddenly remembered that he had no memory of his father in his mind, and he seemed to be unable to remember him. He was above his father.
There was another grandpa, whose memory was not very deep. I just remember that he had a bad temper and was very dignified. He was the old man Chang Fu often said.
See you smiling with a thoughtful look on your face, and no longer say disrespectful words. You are always blessed, and you always have a good breath.
Chang Xiao couldn't think of it, so he didn't think much about it. As a result, he no longer had any interest in wandering around, so he returned to his inner house.
After that, Chang Xiao didn't go out for three days in a row. Instead, he asked Chang Fu and Chang You to accompany him to talk. In fact, Chang Xiao wanted to make a story and clarify the situation in Chang Mansion.
The three days of hard work were not in vain. Chang Xiao finally figured it out. It was indeed the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor was Chongzhen, a famous man. Chang Xiao didn't think of it at first, but when he heard the name again, he immediately remembered it.
Oh, the emperor who was hanged on the Meishan Mountain, the king of the country's subjugation, the Ming Dynasty was ruined in his hands, and the Han nation has completely sunk since then!
When Chang Xiao thought of Chongzhen, he immediately thought of a person's name, Yuan Chonghuan, national hero, Guan Ning Cavalry, etc. Chang Xiao highly respected some famous generals in ancient times, including Yuan Chonghuan. Although later generations had mixed praise and criticism for Yuan Chonghuan, but
For Chang Xiao, who has a military background, Yuan Chonghuan's ability to train a strong army like Guan Ning's cavalry is enough for Chang Xiao to admire him!
Unfortunately, as soon as he said the name, Chang Fu, Chang You angrily told Chang Xiao that the traitor Yuan Chonghuan had just been executed by Ling Chi.
Eight months ago, Huang Taiji led hundreds of thousands of troops and horses to play outside the capital city, ravaging Xianghe, Shunyi, and Sanhe. Yuan Chonghuan followed Huang Taiji with an army of 40,000, but could not catch up.
They fought, and even set up camp at the foot of the imperial city, looking like a rebel. There were even rumors that Yuan Chonghuan had surrendered to Huang Taiji. In short, Yuan Chonghuan was a traitor and was despised by all the people! Killing him was very satisfying.
After hearing the news, Chang Xiao didn't sleep well all night. He was not afraid of the coming chaos, but was excited. He was born in the military, and what he was not afraid of most was war. The thought that he might be able to reverse the trend of the Han Dynasty.
He could resist the invasion of foreigners, reverse history, and even wear a yellow robe to serve as the emperor's dragon throne, and then promote the emergence of capitalism, the industrial revolution, etc. He was so excited that he couldn't sleep.
In fact, Chang Xiao doesn't know that what he will face is a broader world, a weirder future, a brand-new world that he has never been exposed to or even thought of! This world is completely outside the scope of his current understanding.
Inside.
The place where Chang's family is located is called Wufeng County. Chang Fu and Chang You can't tell exactly where it is in China. People in this era don't have such a big regional perspective. They know the four or five surrounding counties and know that the emperor and I live in Beijing.
Even if he has some knowledge. In short, Chang Xiao knows that Wufeng County belongs to Zhending Prefecture and is not too far or too close to the capital. The Chang family is the top spot in Wufeng County. When the county magistrate takes office, the first
The matter is not going to the Yamen but to the Chang family to report and pay respects to Mr. Chang. To put it bluntly, the Chang family is the local emperor of Wufeng County!
The so-called old man Chang is not Chang Xiao's father, but Chang Xiao's grandfather. The old man served as a prefect in the past. Where exactly was Chang Fu? Chang had two servants who couldn't tell. In fact, how big the prefect was, and they were young servants like them.
They don't know, because they were in Wufeng County when they came! They have never seen Mr. Chang's original glory! Moreover, in their eyes, a prefect is nothing. Because the Chang family's current status is much more valuable than that of a prefect.
The current wealth of the Chang family does not depend on official positions. The main reason for the wealth of the Chang family starts with Mr. Chang’s two children!
The Chang family has always had difficulty in having children, and the number of children is not large!
Mr. Chang, like Chang Xiao's father now, had only one son and one daughter in his life, and it was this daughter who married Zhu Youjian, the fifth son of Emperor Guangzong Zhu Changluo, who is the current Emperor Chongzhen. Chongzhen ascended the throne three years ago, and the Chang family
This daughter was given the title of imperial concubine. Although she was not the only person favoring the harem, she was still considered the third most powerful person under Empress Zhou and Concubine Yuan. She could also make some ideas and speak a few words in the harem.
In other words, the Chang family are relatives of the emperor. With this status, as long as the world is not in chaos, they can at least manage the wealth of the three generations of the Chang family. To be honest, being unruly in this small Wufeng County is already an aggrievement for the Chang family.
Yes, even if you go to Zhending Mansion, the Chang family is also a prominent figure.
In the Ming Dynasty, if the Chang family really took on the identity of a royal relative, officials below the third rank would consider it.
Imperial relatives are nothing. The old Zhu family has many poor relatives. Zhu Yuanzhang himself has twenty-six children. These children have been raising children like pigs for more than two hundred years. What number is this?
Many people don't have enough to eat and starve to death, so even being a royal blood relative is nothing special!
But it’s great to have relatives and relatives of the emperor who can be encouraged by the pillow. Emperor Chongzhen is a stubborn and stubborn man. If he is really provoked, he will not be able to pull back the cart. He will kill whoever he wants to kill.
, it can be seen from the fact that he killed the eunuch Wei Zhongxian and killed all the eunuchs with a flip of his hand, so the officials had to be cautious.
However, the Chang family is different from other high-profile royal relatives. Mr. Chang is extremely low-key. When Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne and killed Wei Zhongxian to gain a foothold, he sold his house in the capital and did not even become a nominal prefect. He directly became an official.
, returned to her hometown of Wufeng County for retirement, which can be said to be a rapid retreat. Although Concubine Chang appeared to have lost a foreign aid, she actually greatly gained the favor of Emperor Chongzhen, making Concubine Chang's status more stable. After all, Queen Wang and Empress Wang
Although Concubine Yuan Guifei was favored, she fought internally and externally, which made Emperor Chongzhen's head hurt. This became more and more obvious that Chang's family knowledge was general.
From the words of Chang Fu and Chang You, Chang Xiao also knew that the reason why his father Chang Youzhang in this body was not at home during this period was because he had just taken up a post in Jiangnan to supervise weaving, which was considered a fat job.
This is the background of the Chang family. Chang Xiao never thought that he would have a relationship with Chongzhen. Chang Xiao had mixed feelings in his heart, and he was an evil relative of the emperor!
No wonder Mr. Chang went to play tricks on the wife who was not married to the Wang family. Wang Dashan still dares not to fart. It turns out that the roots of the Chang family are so strong. Xiaoqi, a small imperial guard, is really looking for death when he fights against the royal relatives.
Chang Xiao now understands it more or less, and also knows that the identity of his body cannot be given up casually. Before, he thought about leaving if it was no longer possible, but now Chang Xiao has completely given up this idea, and now
During the Chongzhen period, Yuan Chonghuan had just died not long ago. He didn't know how many years the Ming Dynasty had left, but it wouldn't be too long. If he was single, what way out could he have in such a mess?
There may be no problem in saving his life, but since Chang Xiao came here, he never thought about just saving his life. As a soldier, he has his own sense of mission! What's more, he also wants to sit on the throne of the emperor, the Three Palaces and Sixth Courtyard,
It’s so squandering, so enviable! Chang Xiao has often played with women, but they are all prostitutes, purely to vent their animal desires. One day, she will serve him, and the next day, she will serve someone else. There are so many people coming in and out of that mouth and one hole, and
This kind of woman who only belongs to you is completely different.
Although Chang Xiao did some disgraceful things after retiring from the army, he has always regarded himself as a soldier and was proud of being a soldier. In the big picture, Chang Xiao would never give up the opportunity to save the Han nation.
Being able to be an emperor is a huge temptation no matter what. To be able to realize this wish, one must have an identity. Obviously, being a relative of the emperor can save him from many detours.
Of course, these things are easy to say, but there is no clue to do them. The so-called saving the Han nation, the so-called bringing down the emperor, sounds nice, but how to operate it, Chang Xiao has no idea now. After all, he is just executing orders.
He is just a soldier, not a politician, let alone a strategist. The only thing Chang Xiao can think of is to do well as Chang Xiao first and then wait for the opportunity.
Chang Xiao stayed in the house for three days, figured out some things, and got to know more about Chang Mansion, so he thought about going out for a walk. Chang Fu and Chang You were worthy of being roundworms in his stomach, and he knew immediately
After understanding his thoughts, without him having to say anything, Chang Fu smiled knowingly and said: "Young Master, you have been feeling depressed for a long time and your body feels uncomfortable. Let's go out for a walk?"
Chang Xiao naturally did not shake his head, Chang You turned around and went out to make arrangements. The Chang family was frightened because of the incident of Chang Xiao leaving his soul. Then he saw that Mr. Chang, who had always been restless, had been suffocating in the room for three days.
Oh my god, and the maid didn't even touch the bottle. Instead, she and Chang Fuchang spent the whole day hanging out together. They were all very anxious, thinking that there was something wrong with the eldest son's brain and his sexual interest had changed. At this time, they saw
Young Master Chang was finally going out, and everyone felt relieved. The Chang family was just a single branch. If something unexpected happened, even the Chang family, who were relatives of the emperor, would be ruined. The lives of their servants would also be ruined.
Then it fell.
After a while, Chang You packed up and rushed back. When he saw the thing Chang You was holding, Chang You couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth slightly. What a big dog!
Seeing this dog, Chang Xiao remembered that in the past, young masters would always lead this big dog called an evil beast when they went out on the street. It was said to be a dog, but it looked like a little tiger, with a ferocious face and a mouthful of words.
With interlaced canine teeth and a long scar on his face, he looks like a ruthless character at first glance. This dog rolled out of the same bed as Chang Xiao when he was a child. He looked cute when he was young, but now he is vicious.
Chang Xiao couldn't help but vomit. It must be very cool to lead this thing on the street. It is much more prestigious than driving a BMW. There is really no such thing as a king in this era!
Okay, okay! It’s not as good as Wang’s method!
The dog was led by Chang You and walked with his head down. He didn't say anything or look around. He looked docile. But when he looked up and saw Chang Smile, the dog's eyes were stunned for a moment, its nostrils twitched slightly, and then its pupils
Immediately, an extremely ferocious light burst out, and he broke the rope in Chang You's hand with a squat body, opened his bloody mouth, and rushed towards Chang Xiao with a fishy wind.
