During the Zhengtong period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a small official in the capital, whose surname was Chen, whose name was Ye, and whose courtesy name was Hanfan. His hometown was Dingxing, Baoding Prefecture, Northern Zhili.

He was a Jinshi in the Hongxi period. Since he passed the exam, he left his hometown to become an official and handed over all the 300 acres of fertile land passed down from his ancestors to his wife Fang's brother Fang An to manage it.

Fang An, whose courtesy name is Siwei, turned out to be a loyal and honest person who taught village studies in the village. He collected all the rents in the first year, and he exchanged them for silver and sent them to Chen Hanfan. His wife Liu said:

"You have broken your legs in a year and have worn out three or five pairs of shoes. Is this money for him?"

Fang Andao: "Don't we use this money for food and clothing? We should not be too greedy."

Liu was furious when he heard this: "Why am I so greedy? Isn't this for your Feng family?"

Liu was clamoring and had a quarrel all night, but Fang An ignored it and still sent the money to Chen Hanfan's place the next morning.

At that time, Chen Hanfan was just a small county magistrate, honest and honest, and did not live a good life, but he refused to accept the money no matter what.

Fang An had no choice but to bring the silver home again and said to Liu: "You can keep this silver well and you must not use it. In the future, the silver will be saved up every year and will be used for him when he needs it urgently. In the future, if you have a nephew, you will help your nephew get married and start a business, and if you have a niece, you will use it to buy a dowry."

Liu agreed, but he was secretly happy in his heart, thinking: "I have given birth to two sons, but they have not half of them. In the future, not only will the land rent all over me every year, but the 300 acres of fertile land be my son!"

Liu just thought so at first, but after a long time, fortunately, he burned a stick of incense every day and asked the gods to bless Fang not to have children.

In order to achieve this goal, Liu heard that there was a White Lotus Sect in the village recently. The old mother who was worshipped in the family was always in response to all requests. He claimed that "the old mother without birth is empty, and his hometown is the most fulfilling. So he quietly entered the White Lotus Sect.

Time flies, and many years have passed in a flash. Unexpectedly, Chen Hanfan transferred him to the capital because of his good grades of performance, so he transferred him to the capital city and went to the Censorate to work as a sixth-rank experience department.

Unexpectedly, the second year after Chen Hanfan went to the capital, Fang gave birth to a fat boy. He had a middle-aged son and was so happy that Chen Hanfan was happy. On a hundred days, the mansion was decorated with lights and officials who were close to him in the court came to congratulate him.

Chen Hanfan named his son Chen Zhao, and when he was five years old, he invited a well-educated teacher to teach him how to read and recognize words.

At a young age, Chen Zhao was very calm and extremely smart. After teaching him once, he could never forget it. By the age of ten, he had already been a ritual of poetry and calligraphy, and he had memorized all kinds of schools of thought.

At this time, on the northern grasslands, he inherited the position of the leader of the Ola from his father. He respected Tutubuhua, a descendant of the Golden Family, as the Khan of the Mongol Empire, and proclaimed himself the Grand Tutor King Huai. He actually held the highest power. He then defeated Urianha in the east, destroyed Hami in the west, unified the grassland, and shocked the outside world.

In order to completely dominate the world and establish a great cause like Genghis Khan in order to get rid of the shadow of the Golden Family, he led his army south to attack the Ming Dynasty.

Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, the chief of the Ming Dynasty, was only twenty-two years old. He had no knowledge and did not know the world. At the instigation of the eunuch Wang Zhen, he ignored the dissuasion of the Minister of War Kuang Ye and the Minister of War Yu Qian, and insisted on the Northern Expedition and went on an expedition. As a result, he suffered a great defeat at Tumu Fort and Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen was captured.

Yesen took advantage of the collapse of the main force of the Ming army and the capital was empty, leading his army to advance south, trying to capture the capital of the Ming Dynasty. At the critical moment, Yu Qian was appointed as the Minister of War, respecting King Zhu Qiyu as the emperor, and was named Emperor Daizong of Ming Dynasty. He was appointed as Jingtai, and he regarded Zhu Qizhen as the emperor, presided over the defense of Beijing, and finally repelled the Ola army.

After this battle, Yu Qian's prestige reached its peak and began to preside over the government and value loyal and upright officials.

After taking back the Supreme Emperor Zhu Qizhen, Emperor Jingtai was unwilling to abdicate and imprisoned his elder brother in the Nangong and respected him as the Supreme Emperor. He also put Zhu Qizhen under house arrest with the Jinyiwei and strictly controlled the surveillance. The palace gate was not only locked, but also filled with lead, and food could only be transferred from small holes.

However, this is a dispute between the Zhu brothers. Yu Qian was unwilling to intervene, but he just managed the world wholeheartedly and selected talents.

Because Chen Hanfan was upright and capable, he was promoted to the Ministry of Revenue from the fifth rank.

The family was even more happy. Chen Hanfan was consciously valued by the court, and he was more strict with himself and worked diligently.

At this time, Fang An's wife, Liu, gave birth to three sons. Both of them had already started a family and started a business. The third son was born at the latest, and was named Fang San. He was the same age as Chen Zhao, but he didn't like to study and played and played all day long.

He even followed Liu to the secret association of the White Lotus Sect, and made fun of them with the children, and learned a lot of bad habits.

Because the senior brother in the sect thought Fang San was smart, he praised him a few words. Liu thought that his son was amazing and would definitely be glorious in the future, so he was extremely happy.

Just when Chen Zhao was fourteen years old, the "Gate-Snatching Change" occurred in the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Because Emperor Jingtai's son died young and faced a crisis in the country, generals Shi Heng, politician Xu Youzhen, eunuch Cao Jixiang and others invited Zhu Qizhen to support him in order to establish a great contribution, and the reinstatement was supported by him. On the same day, Zhu Qizhen issued an order to arrest the Minister of War Yu Qian and the Minister of Personnel Wang Wen. On January 22, the first year of Tianshun, he killed Yu Qian and Wang Wen for the crime of rebellion. Wang Wen abandoned the market and transferred his family to his family, and persecuted the civil and military officials recommended by Yu Qian.

Because Chen Hanfan's official position was small, his official position was just eliminated.

Chen Hanfan took his wife Fang and son Chen Zhao back to his hometown. He died of illness in less than half a year because of his anger and depression.

Fang soon fell seriously ill and saw that he couldn't do it, so he found his brother Fang An to be by his side and said to him: "Your brother-in-law left a word at the end of his life, saying that the 300 acres of fertile land will be handed over to you. When the boat grows up in the future, there is no need to give it to him. His ancestors have a lesson. They must rely on themselves to make a fortune in everything. They must not rely on their ancestors' industries. Being a idle person will never make a fortune in their life. This is the real estate deed, and you have collected it..."

After saying that, Fang panted and grabbed Liu's hand, and said with tears in his eyes, "Xiao Zhao is still young, so I will entrust him to you. I will treat him well... I feel relieved if you like this child very much..."

Liu also cried and said, "I like Xiao Zhao better than my third son. Don't worry."

Liu took Chen Zhao to his mother's bed. Chen Zhao cried and called his mother, but there was no answer.

After Fang An finished cooking his sister's funeral, he took his nephew Chen Zhao home. When he entered the house, he ignored him. Chen Zhao fell and fell into a coma immediately.

Fang An was very anxious and hurriedly asked the doctor to come over. Who knew that he could not find out anything. Seeing that Chen Zhao was pale, he seemed to be unstable.

Fang An was very anxious, but Liu was secretly happy.

But that night, Chen Zhao woke up. When he saw Fang An, he called him uncle, and when he saw Liu, he called him aunt, looking nothing was wrong.

Seeing that he had nothing to do, Fang An felt relieved.

Seeing this, Liu had to suppress his disappointment and serve Chen Zhao happily to drink the soup.

That night, Fang An discussed with his wife Liu: "Xiao Zhao is extremely smart and at the age of studying. There is Jiayuelai Academy in the town. My brother-in-law was studying there. I wanted him to study there and go with the mistress, and both of them also took care of him."

Fang An sent Chen Zhao and Fang San to the academy and went to work hard for his own business. He was the pillar of the head of the family. He had business dealings with people from time to time and had no time to spare every day. Sometimes after talking to his business partners, he was drunk again and had to stay in the inn in the city.

Therefore, the family affairs are under the control of Liu.

As a result, Liu quietly went to the academy and gave his husband a lot of money to Xiu. He advised him that the one who wanted to study at home was Fang San, and the one named Chen Zhao was just a companion to study. He had also read a lot of books, so the husband didn't have to worry.

Watching Liu leave quietly from the corner, Chen Zhao smiled and didn't take it seriously.

If he was still Chen Zhao, who was weak and weak, and had no protection from his parents, he would be deceived by this kind-hearted aunt sooner or later.

But he has recovered now and is enough to look down on the world. How could he take an old lady to heart?

It’s a pity that I came here a little late this time. Half a year has passed since the change of the gate, otherwise he would have saved Yu Qian.

He is now fourteen years old, and his parents are both dead and he is hiding in his uncle's house.

For example, today, the Ming Yingzong, who was still peaceful, and his son, Ming Xianzong, were all not very troubled, and the lives of the people were still acceptable.
