In the first year of Tianqi, the sixteenth day of the first lunar month is a time for weddings and funerals, but avoidance of moving or disturbing the earth.

Shenyang City.

Early in the morning, the gates of Shenyang City had just been opened, but the south gate was closed to people. At the gate of the south gate, a long queue of people and horses lined up. There were more than a hundred carriages, some with large carriages on them. Boxes, more like wooden prison cages, each with a person standing inside.

Turning around and giving a fist to the person behind him, Xu Xianchun said with a smile: "Marshal Sun, thanks to your help, everything went so smoothly this time. After returning to the capital, I will definitely explain it to His Majesty!" Although he knew that Sun Chengzong didn't care. For all these achievements, Xu Xianchun knew that he still had to achieve this attitude!

Smiling and shaking his head, Sun Chengzong said in a deep voice: "Xu Tongzhi, you have made the greatest contribution this time. You don't have to wait for me to give you credit. However, Xu Tongzhi, I hope you can ask His Majesty to tell you that these prisoners staying here in Liaodong need to be taken out as soon as possible. There’s a way!”

"Don't worry, sir. The official here understands that the total amount of silver seized this time is 7 million taels. The emperor asked the official to keep 6 million taels. The official has already sent it to the treasury, but the emperor has a decree. The Lord cannot touch this silver for the time being. The remaining two million taels of silver, as well as the jewelry, calligraphy, paintings, real estate, and land deeds were all taken away by the official!" Xu Xianchun bowed respectfully to Sun Chengzong and said with a smile.

Sun Chengzong nodded slowly, and said hesitantly: "Xu Tongzhi, has your Majesty said when this money can be used?"

"Replying to your lord, this official is unknown. The emperor has not explained it. However, I still want to say a word to you. Your Majesty will definitely use this money, and it will definitely be spent in Liaodong. If your Majesty has any ideas, please take advantage of your Majesty's permission. The imperial edict has not yet been issued, it is better to make preparations earlier!" After thinking for a while, Xu Xianchun whispered in Sun Chengzong's ear.

After taking a deep look at Xu Xianchun, Sun Chengzong smiled and said: "Xu Tongzhi, have a nice trip!"

Holding a fist towards Sun Chengzong, Xu Xianchun said loudly: "The mountains are high and the rivers are long. See you later! Sir, we will see you in the capital. When the time comes, I will definitely set a table for you, and I owe you a drink!"

"Okay, I remember!" Sun Chengzong said loudly as he laughed a few times at Xu Xianchun.

"By the way, Xiong Jinglue, after returning to Beijing this time, I will also present your situation to the emperor. I believe you will be reinstated to your original position soon!" Seeing Xiong Tingbi standing aside, Xu Xianchun cupped his fists and said with a smile. .

Xiong Tingbi showed the style of a warrior. He cupped his fists at Xu Xianchun and said loudly: "In that case, Xiong thanked Xu Tongzhi. We meet again in the mountains and rivers. We will meet again someday!"

"Goodbye!" Xu Xianchun raised his fists to everyone, got on his horse, gently waved the whip in his hand, and slowly walked towards the front of the team!

"Old ghost, I'm leaving now. Don't you have any nostalgia for this place?" Dang Han said with a smile as he gently flapped the folding fan in his hand.

Shaking his head slowly, Laoshan said in a deep voice: "What's worth remembering here? It's just killing people. Have we killed too few people in so many years? I feel much more relaxed when I go back this time. I hope I can retire after I go back!" "

As the two of them were talking, the team began to move slowly. Three thousand elite soldiers and five hundred guards in golden robes were escorting the prisoners, as well as countless treasures they had just copied, towards the capital.

Liaoyang City.

The city gate of Liaoyang City opens earlier than that of Shenyang City, and it is busy with traffic every day, which is much more lively than Shenyang City. There is also a team at the west gate of Liaoyang City, and the basic composition is the same. There are more than a hundred vehicles. Carriage, three thousand elite soldiers, but this time the five hundred people were replaced by Dongchang fans!

"Master Yang, our family's errand in Liaodong went very smoothly this time. Thank you Master Yang for your help. We are very grateful!" Wang Chengen said with a smile, waving the whisk in his hand gently.

Yang Lian gently cupped his fists and said with a smile on his face: "My lord, you are so polite. You are kind to Yang, so what does this trivial matter mean?"

"Sir Yang, you are so polite. We will not be able to decide what happens next. But I believe there will be an imperial edict from the emperor. Please wait patiently in Liaodong, Mr. Yang!" Wang Chengen smiled again and said calmly. vocal tract.

"My father-in-law has made a great contribution this time. I believe that after returning to the capital, the emperor will definitely reward me. Yang may still trouble my father-in-law in the future. I hope my father-in-law can help me more!" Yang Lian smiled at Wang Chengen and said with a smile.

Smiling and shaking his head, Wang Chengen said with a teasing look on his face: "What Mr. Yang said, who doesn't know that Mr. Yang, the governor of Liaodong, is the emperor's most valued minister. From now on, our family may still beg Mr. Yang! Come on! Mr. Yang, please don’t say you don’t know me as a eunuch!"

"Wang Eunuch is joking, we will naturally take care of each other from now on!" Yang Lian said meaningfully while smiling at Wang Chengen.

The two people looked at each other and suddenly smiled at each other!

Gently stepping onto his carriage, Wang Chengen turned around and said with a smile: "Master Yang, our family is leaving. Please take care of yourself, Master Yang!"

"Have a good trip, father-in-law, Yang will see off your father-in-law!" He said softly, Yang Lian looked at the motorcade that was getting further away, sighed softly, and stood there with complicated eyes. After a long time, Yang Lian slowly turned around. , walked slowly towards Liaoyang City!

Jizhou City.

Compared with Shenyang City and Liaoyang City, Jizhou's city gate opens earlier, and it is more lively here, with lots of traffic and people coming and going!

Looking at Liu Che standing in the prison car, Wei Chao felt relieved. Behind Wei Chao were more than a dozen prison cars. Inside were the family of Liu Che, the governor of Jiliao!

"Mr. Dingguo, our family's work this time has been completed. The rest will be left to you!" Looking at the people in front of him with a smile, Wei Chao said respectfully. He can show off his power in front of many people. The factory governor can't get excited here! The status of Duke Dingguo is too high. He is a descendant of Xu Da, King of Wuning, Zhongshan. Duke Wei is the eldest son of Xu Da, but this first generation of Duke Dingguo follows him. He was the king of Yan, Zhu Di, and later he became the brother-in-law of King Zhu Di of Yan. It can be said that he has a transcendent status!

After the first generation of Ding Guogong, the Xu family married the royal family many times, and the Xu family also gave birth to queens. This made the relationship between the Xu family and the royal family even closer! Because they were from the same family as the Duke of Wei in Nanjing, these two families One is in charge of the army in Nanjing, and the other is in the capital, echoing each other! The entire Xu family is definitely the most influential among all the hereditary nobles!

Although the Wei Dynasty now has the trust of Emperor Tianqi, in the final analysis, it is just the emperor's family, but the man in front of him is nominally the uncle of Emperor Tianqi! Therefore, the Wei Dynasty has no conditions to stand firm in front of him.

Nodding slowly, Duke Dingguo said in a deep voice: "The emperor's decree only allows me to sit in Jizhou, what else do you need me to do?"

"Master Guo, you just need to sit here and not cause trouble. With Duke Guo's prestige in the military, no one dares to do anything! When the case is completed or the emperor appoints a new Governor of Ji Liao, Duke Guo will

You can go back to the capital!" Wei Chao said with a smile as he saluted Duke Ding.

After pondering for a moment, Duke Dingguo glanced at Wei Chao and asked curiously: "Do you have anything else to do?"

"This, no more!" Wei Chao didn't know why this person asked, but he still answered honestly.

"It's okay. What are you still doing here? Why don't you leave quickly? It's true. You are not diligent in the king's affairs at all. I really don't know why the emperor trusts you so much. Leave now!" He waved his hand impatiently, and Duke Dingguo hit him.

He sighed and said very unhappy.

Wei Chao smiled awkwardly. Wei Chao was a little embarrassed and hurriedly waved to the people behind him to leave. But before he took a few steps, Ding Guogong's voice came over again: "Wait a minute, come here, I have something to do."

Ask you!"

Hearing this, Wei Chao could only shake his head with a wry smile, but he did not dare to delay his legs at all. He quickly came to Duke Ding's side and asked with a smile: "I wonder what the Duke's orders are?"

"I ask you, how many things were copied from Liu Che's house?" Duke Dingguo asked in a low voice, coming to Wei Chao's ears mysteriously.

"My lord, when I returned home, I found 3.6 million taels of silver in Liu Che's house, as well as some jewelry and jades, as well as some land and real estate!" Naturally, the Wei Dynasty had nothing to keep secret about these things, and smiled at Duke Dingguo.

said,

Glancing at Liu Che, Duke Ding rolled his sleeves and yelled loudly: "I really didn't realize that he is full of benevolence, justice and morality, but he is full of male thieves and female prostitutes! He is really a polite scum, and he is so polite!" As he said this, the Duke of the Kingdom said

While shaking his head, he walked slowly towards Chengcheng.

In the Wei Dynasty, where he could only stand there in a daze, he suddenly felt that Emperor Tianqi's decision was wrong. Is it really good to let such a person come here?

Capital, Forbidden City.

Glancing at Chen Hong beside him, Emperor Tianqi waved his hand and said: "Find a palace maid to rub my shoulders. I want a good one!"

"Your Majesty, Liu Cairen in the harem is a master in this field. I heard that his family has been practicing medicine for a long time. Liu Cairen has been with his father since he was a child and has learned a lot. His massage skills are really good.

Yeah!" Hearing Emperor Tianqi's question, Chen Hong suddenly beamed with joy and said quickly.

Looking Chen Hong up and down until Chen Hong felt uncomfortable, Emperor Tianqi slowly withdrew his gaze and asked with a stern face: "How much money did you get? Should you tell me about this matter? Is this something that I should take care of? Yes.

Isn’t it that I’m spoiling you on weekdays?”

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please calm down and listen to the ministers' explanation!" Seeing Emperor Tianqi's tone becoming more and more serious, Chen Hong quickly knelt down and said loudly. Since ancient times, the fight for favor in the harem has been more cruel than the fight between civil servants. Chen Hong

Hong Ziran understood. He also knew that it was better not to get involved in this kind of thing, but this time he couldn't help himself.

Looking at Chen Hong, Emperor Tianqi waved his hands in annoyance and said loudly: "Say it! Let me see what ivory you can spit out!"

"Back to Your Majesty, this is not the intention of the chamberlain, but the intention of the Queen Mother! Yesterday the Queen Mother called the chamberlain and said that it has been a while since the emperor's wedding, but there was no movement in the stomachs of the Queen Mother and the two noble concubines. The Queen Mother

She seemed a little anxious, so she looked for a concubine among the concubines chosen for Huang Shang who could have children. Later, after many selections by the palace maids, Liu Cairen was the best, so the Queen Mother wanted her to be a concubine!"

"Get up! I wrongly blamed you." Before Chen Hong finished speaking, Emperor Tianqi interrupted him with a wave of his hand and said with a wry smile.

After pondering for a moment, Emperor Tianqi smiled and said, "Where is the Queen?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is at the Queen Mother's place and she was found by the Queen Mother!" Chen Hong said in a deep voice after giving a salute to Emperor Tianqi.

After hesitating for a long time, Chen Hong said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, I have something I don't know whether to say or not!"

"Say it!" Emperor Tianqi said nonchalantly after taking a sip of tea.

"Your Majesty, are you not satisfied with the beautiful girl you selected last time?" After thinking about it, Chen Hong felt that it would be better to say this in a roundabout way.

Nodding slowly, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "It's very good! I'm quite satisfied with it. What's the matter?" It was taken from among the five thousand beauties from across the country. In terms of appearance, it must be nothing to say.

"Your Majesty, since the wedding day, you have only favored the queen and the two concubines, which can easily arouse other people's feelings. The emperor should favor some of these people, otherwise these ladies will have different ideas. Your Majesty, this harem

Just like governing a country, you need methods!" Chen Hong thought for a long time before saying this!

Reaching out and slapping the table, Emperor Tianqi said angrily: "How to govern a country? Do you know what a method of governing a country is? You, a slave, are not qualified to talk about this here!"

"Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers are ignorant, but there is something going on in the harem! There is going to be a turmoil at the Queen Mother. This is why the Queen Mother went to see the Queen Mother today. Your Majesty, please think twice!" Chen Hong, who was kneeling on the ground, did not stop talking.

, looked at Emperor Tianqi expectantly, and said respectfully.

After kicking Chen Hong down, Emperor Tianqi said loudly: "Go and find me Liu Cairen. I want to see how good her craftsmanship is!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the ministers will do it now!" Chen Hong saluted Emperor Tianqi, said with a smile, and then ran out quickly!

Not long after, Chen Hong walked in with a woman. She was sixteen or seventeen years old. Although she was not as mature and attractive as Queen Zhang, she was still a first-rate beauty!

"I'm here to see you, Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!" Liu Cairen seemed a little nervous, and his words were all incoherent!

After waving to him, Emperor Tianqi smiled and asked, "I heard you know how to massage?"

"Back to the emperor, I do know a little bit, but not too much!" Wang Cairen replied respectfully as he leaned towards Emperor Tianqi.

"Okay, come and give me a squeeze. I've been a little tired these days. And there's a big battle to be fought recently, so you have to give me a good squeeze!" Emperor Tianqi looked at Liu Cairen with a smile.
Chapter completed!
