Zhu Youcong, who was already exhausted after being noisy for most of the night, had no choice but to give up the unnecessary resistance and prepare to live a few days of real and imaginary stability with the tender companionship of his two darling wives. However, he obviously underestimated the person outside the door.
The ability of the group of people, before they got up on the third day, a bloody letter dictated by the old father-in-law of the general Zhenguo, who did not know who was rhetorically polished, was sent into the room by a sounding arrow. The content of the letter was very simple, the first half
It's nothing more than how Zhang Guoji worked hard to raise his two precious daughters; the second half is also normal, full of a loving father's sincere blessings to his daughters. But the problem lies in the middle paragraphs, when the Zhenguo general tried to kidnap his father-in-law and destroy the Zhang family.
The abominable act of snatching a bride by force was vividly written on the page. Whenever Father Zhang thought about this, he was so heartbroken that his fat son-in-law violated etiquette and organized such a weird and crude wedding.
Human liver and intestines are severed.
You should obey your father before you are married, and you should obey your husband when you are married. The words of Zixia in the Book of Rites are certainly true, but don’t think that a married daughter is just water thrown out and will no longer take care of her parents’ family. From that day on, Zhu Youcong’s life
The gentleness was no longer bitter and unbearable. He began to enjoy the sarcasm of the talented Zhang Yan and the black feet that the little fairy Ningmeng stepped on from time to time. As for sharing the same table, eating and sleeping in the same bed, he couldn't even think about it.
Why don't you stay cool?
"Brother Jian, how did that matter go?" Listening to the screams coming from the room from time to time, Zhu Qiji was really worried. If no one has been found to take the blame so far, Chongzhen, the emperor, can
He fled back to the capital in glory and continued to wreak havoc. Several civil servants who were his accomplices could also sneak back to various places under the pretext of taking up their posts and continue to cause trouble. Only he, the dean, had to stay in Luoyang to always be on guard against Zhu Youcong's revenge. Look.
It’s time to urge Du Yinxi to quickly build the research institute in Sichuan. At least there will be a place to take refuge if something goes wrong in the future!
"Brother, don't worry. That Chen Xinjia has secretly arrested Xie Yijin and is on his way to the capital!" The Ming Dynasty is full of talents. Of course, there is no need for the emperor to write in chicken blood himself. Xie also tried to inform the Tatars during the Liaodong Campaign.
Sheng was honored to take on this job, and Chongzhen kindly gave him two choices. If he didn't write, his whole family would be punished, and if he did, his whole family would be cut off! Of course, the person responsible for dealing with the aftermath was the one who had no bones and worked hard to collect bribes all day long.
Chen Xinjia, who dared to put in a good word for Huang Taiji, rewarded Chen Xinjia for his wise move in exposing Xie Sheng to the imperial court. The emperor very considerately rewarded him with the position of prison chief.
"Then let's release Brother Cong now?" Zhu Qiji's words were very problematic. He made the little fat man who was enjoying life look like a imprisoned beast. After all, he was still the general of the Ming Dynasty.
"Let it go, Tao Qian has packed his bags and is preparing to leave for Liaodong with his family to follow Nan Juyi. It's time for Brother Cong to finish his vacation and stretch out his muscles!" It is said that bystanders know that with Zhu Youcong's reminder, Chongzhen
He and those few poor people with no money finally saw through the sinister side of the plan to make a fortune. Once Tao Shangshu escapes with the money and the capital chain is broken, the important ministers who have been scolded bloody by their subordinates will still have time to go.
Are you concerned about the detailed rules for selling officials that the imperial court is about to announce? And those scholars who are already in chaos and are worried about how to live in the future can spend less time on small things like preventing the emperor from going south, and turn their attention to how to scold and write down the things that make them miserable.
On the ruined scholar leader.
"Then who will open the door to greet him?" What was locked in the room was not a wild beast, but a little fat man who might have been completely angered. Zhu Qiji did not want to provoke this young man who would make even the Tatars tremble with fear.
"Of course it's you, eldest brother. I don't understand the secrets of this. What if I accidentally damage the mechanism and cause trouble?" Chongzhen, who is working hard to achieve his goal of being a faint king, will not only deceive his younger brother, but also frame his own brother.
His face remained calm and his heart did not beat, and the reasons he used were extremely legitimate.
"It seems that Brother Cong is really right. You are becoming more and more shameless!" Zhu Qiji, who deals with machines all day long, is not stupid. Although he has found someone to take the blame, who knows if that unreasonable little fat man will?
To vent your anger on others? He snapped his fingers and summoned an unlucky shadow guard: "Go, open the door of General Zhenguo's room. Invite him to the hall to discuss matters!"
"Where are the dean and the emperor?" As expected, Zhu Youcong, with disheveled hair and red eyes, rushed out the moment the door opened and started yelling at the unlucky shadow guard.
"Return...to the general! The emperor and the dean have already gone to the front hall..." Before he could finish speaking, he felt a strong wind blowing by, and the little fat man who was standing in front of him just now had disappeared without a trace. Try hard.
Stabilizing his figure, the shadow guard responsible for opening the door added: "They are drinking with the prince!"
"Zhu——You——" No, why are there so many people in the hall? King Fu, two princesses, three profiteer brothers, and a group of palace think tanks such as Han Xu. Over there are holding wine jars and Lu Xiangsheng and other soldiers are shouting and drinking.
Wasn't it the grief-stricken Zhang Guoji? Fortunately, Zhu Youcong responded quickly. Otherwise, he would have been beaten up by Prince Fu and kicked out just because he called the emperor by his first name!
"Cong'er, why are you so disheveled?" King Fu was very angry. In normal times, Zhu Youcong could bare his chest and back if he wanted to, but today with so many people present, he really couldn't afford to lose his face.
"My child... my child..." Seeing the two cheating brothers sitting at the head of the table whispering to each other, Zhu Youcong suddenly understood, wasn't he being tricked again?
"Uncle Emperor, please don't blame me. Young people lack concentration and will inevitably do something complacent when they are overjoyed..." Emperor Chongzhen is very considerate. Anyway, there are so many people there, and the little fat man dares to follow me.
Chirping? Do you think I have nothing to do when I summon everyone to the palace for a banquet so early in the morning? Isn’t this just to make someone angry and dare not act out!
"Hey, isn't this a virtuous son-in-law?" Zhang Guoji rubbed his red rosacea nose and said with some resentment: "People's hearts are not as old as they used to be. Young people today actually forget that they will return to peace within three days of getting married. This makes me miserable.
I have been waiting at the door for six hours! Come and drink these three jars of wine first, and you should apologize to me..."
Three altars? This old father-in-law thinks that I am the toilet, a bottomless pit that cannot be filled? Zhu Youcong was really embarrassed to act like a rogue in front of everyone, so he could only ask with a grimace: "Father-in-law, didn't you still... a few days ago?
…”
"Brother Cong, I'm not being wordy as a brother, but can you at least take the time to learn some etiquette?" Taking the hint from Mo Mingyue hiding in the corner, Zhu Qiji also put on a rare serious look. He sighed and sighed.
: "Xunzi said: 'Treating the superior to the inferior is like protecting an innocent child.' But look at you, you don't even know the folk custom that when a girl gets married, she must be sent away by her mother's family in tears. How dare you show off that you often enjoy yourself with the people?"
"Teaching is not strict, the teacher is lazy! If you want to say these things, I am not to blame, but Mr. Han is to blame!" Isn't it just nonsense? I will clear these charges first and then I will slowly come to you to blame.
Zhu Youcong was very good at changing targets and immediately threw dirty water at Han Xu, who was snickering over there.
I have a grudge against you, why should I take the blame? After thinking about it, I realized that I did have a grudge against Zhu Youcong. Han Xu, who had always been bullied by the fat man because he had a backer, jumped out quickly. "Your Majesty!
The common people are unjustly accused. The common people are really wronged..."
"Mr. Han, there is no need to blame yourself. I am very clear about your abilities. It's just that my younger brother Cong has been naughty since he was a child. You can't teach him well with conventional methods!" After thinking about it, Chongzhen said thoughtfully: "
Well, how about you go to the college to teach after this incident in Jiangnan?"
"Common people thank you for your grace!" It's not that Han Xu wants to go against his original intention, but it's too inappropriate to talk about going into seclusion after being bullied for so long. If he can't seize this opportunity to teach a few capable students, let the little fat man come out.
He had a headache, so he really couldn't swallow it!
"Brother Cong, you should go freshen up first. I'm still waiting to have a drink with you!" Chongzhen, who had successfully obtained the last appointed executive director of the college, was in a good mood. He suddenly remembered that he had only been caring for the past few days.
In all the fuss, I forgot that I should get the little fat guy drunk first and then throw him into the new house.
"Husband...husband!" Seeing the repackaged Zhu Youcong reappearing, Zhang Yan was very shy. She had really ignored this unruly little husband these days. But when she came out to see her father today
Only then did I realize that the sadness was faked in accordance with folk traditions. The pain was real, but Zhu Youcong couldn't really be blamed for the fact that he got drunk and fell to his knees.
"snort!"
"Brother Cong..." Ningmeng's voice was like a gnat. Although she really couldn't blame her for this, it was normal to have an overreaction when hearing that her father was bullied. But thinking about Zhu Youcong being stepped on by him almost made him swollen.
I'm really embarrassed about my big feet. "Do your feet still hurt?"
"Humph!" It seemed that the little fat man was showing signs of rejuvenating his youth. He used single-syllable words to express his dissatisfaction twice in a row.
"Okay, Brother Cong, don't argue with your two siblings. In fact, they are also victims!" In order to prevent the little fat man from succeeding in his conspiracy to call him brother-in-law, Chongzhen wisely set the tone first and explained: "
My brother has already found out that it was all Xie Sheng's fault that caused the two brothers and sisters to misunderstand you. No, my brother has ordered him to be captured and imprisoned, and he is also planning to accompany you to Jiangnan to clean up those people.
What a scourge!"
"Hmph!" Who is this brother lying to? Doesn't he just want me to accompany you to the south of the Yangtze River? If Xie Sheng could break through the iron wall formed by the shadow guards, he would have quit his job and changed his career to become a knight. It is really not good.
It's easy for someone to transform into a masked thief and make a little fortune!
It seemed that once the little fat man was out of the cage, he would not be so easy to fool. Chongzhen, who regretted not keeping Zhu Youcong in the room to negotiate terms, could only say helplessly: "Stop snorting, just say what you have to say!"
"Old rules, 28! In addition, those highly educated Western barbarians in Macau will send you as a bonus!" Although the Ming Dynasty is still powerful and the Chinese civilization is still leading, Zhu Youcong also has to admit that in a certain period
The West is indeed ahead of the curve in some respects, and it should be possible to put these people into prison and torture them for some knowledge.
"Yes!" Chongzhen agreed very readily. This younger brother who was smarter than a monkey also made miscalculations. He actually forgot that more than 70% of the family property of the Jiangnan scholars was thrown into Tao Qianzhi's pyramid scheme organization? Right now
Those guys can hardly afford to eat, how much military expenses can this little fat man get from them?
"And you two!" Zhu Youcong turned around and said to the two Huoshui who were bowing their heads shyly in repentance: "My husband is so untrustworthy? I have explained it so many times, and yet I still give it to you?"
Look at my face! As punishment, come with me to the south of the Yangtze River this time!" (To be continued.)
