Chapter 574 The emperor acts as a matchmaker, Sister Feng begs Chen Zhao(1/2)
In the following period, every time Chen Zhao visited Rongguo Mansion, he would meet Li Wan inexplicably.
At first, he thought it was a coincidence, but soon Chen Zhao realized something was wrong.
Li Wan was also a chaste and fierce woman. Even if she had some shameful thoughts, she would not easily meet a foreign man.
There must be someone causing trouble here.
So Chen Zhao quickly analyzed that Wang Xifeng was causing trouble in all this.
Hahaha, this Sister Feng is very kind-hearted. It seems that she needs to find something for him to do.
So at another banquet held by the Chen family, while Jia Lian and Sister Feng were both there, the theater troupe put on a good play.
This play is nothing more than a house-fighting drama. It tells the story of an aunt who became the housekeeper of a family, so she married her niece to her nephew and became the housekeeper. As a result, all the profits and lawsuit money were handled by her niece.
, but the big head was controlled by the housekeeper's wife, and the incident came to light. The housekeeper's niece was tricked and his son-in-law was imprisoned. However, the housekeeper's wife escaped calmly, and her son also took the title.
It doesn't matter to others who watch this play, they just want it to be exciting and lively, but Jia Lian and Sister Feng were frightened when they watched it.
After the banquet, Jia Lian and his wife thought about it, and finally took advantage of everyone to leave, so they stayed at the end to ask Chen Zhao for advice.
"Second Brother Lian, although I am proficient in medicine, Rongguo Mansion is such a high-ranking family. If I want to treat you, I have to hire an imperial doctor. How can I dare to take your pulse easily?"
Jia Lian sighed: "Brother Zishang, Mr. Chen, Mr. Shaoqing, besides you, who else do I dare to trust now? Just take my pulse."
"In that case, let me take a look." Chen Zhao pressed his back against the back of the chair and looked at Jia Lian: "Second brother's complexion is as usual, but there is dust at the corners of his eyes, and his temples are a little sunken than ordinary people."
Families like Rong Guofu often invite imperial doctors to their homes, and they often hear the imperial doctors showing off their skills when talking to each other. When Chen Zhao said this, it seemed to be like this. He felt trembled in his heart and quickly asked: "What do you mean?
?”
"If what I have guessed is correct, my second brother has recently been feeling that he wakes up easily during the long nights, is thirsty frequently, has night sweats in his dreams, and is often unsatisfied during intercourse, and often has unfinished thoughts?"
Men can never say that they are not good enough.
Otherwise, we must make a difference with him!
Jia Lian had heard that Zhao Jinliang, the shopkeeper of Haihui Tower in Beijing, was only sixteen years old, but he inherited the family business three years ago and ran the huge restaurant in full swing, better than his father's ancestors.
Why did he take over from his father at such a young age?
It's all about his ability in that area.
It is said that when he was thirteen years old, in order to prove that he was a man, he went to a brothel and ordered three girls at once.
The next day his father went to find him, went inside and called him: "Xiao Liang, get up quickly, it's dawn."
As a result, Zhao Jinliang shouted inside: "What are you Xiaoliang? Yesterday I flashed my flashes on everyone three times! From now on, call me Daliang!"
The entire brothel immediately became a sensation, and Zhao Jinliang's name resounded throughout the capital.
Seeing that he was so ambitious, his father handed over the family property to him, and Zhao Jinliang also made great efforts to run Haihui Tower in full swing.
Therefore, if a man becomes powerful, even his father and ancestors will feel inferior and willingly give up their throne.
On the other hand, if you are not strong, even the younger generation will feel contempt and have the intention to seize class and power.
Therefore, Jia Lian was stunned and panicked. What Chen Zhao said was not entirely correct!
"How is this going?"
"Someone gave my second brother an aphrodisiac!"
It is not unusual for a playboy from a wealthy family to take some medicine. Jia Lian felt relieved and said with a smile: "Brother Zishang, are you worrying too much? You don't even have a pulse..."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Zhao tapped his finger on the table, and a line of water immediately poured out of the teapot and fell accurately into the tea bowl next to Jia Lian. No more, no less, just enough to fill the cup without overflowing.
"This this……"
Jia Lian was stunned, what kind of skill is this?
Chen Zhao did not answer his words, but continued: "If I am right, the poison you have been poisoned by is a chronic drug, and it has been going on for several years. If you don't stop the poison in time, I'm afraid you will be gone in a few years."
Now that I have cleared up my body, I am afraid it will be difficult for my second brother to have another child with his current body."
Jia Lian usually had plenty of scenery on his bed. Now that he heard that Chen Zhao was questioning his "ability", he couldn't help but stare. But what Chen Zhao said was true. He also felt the consequences of using tiger and wolf medicine too much.
It was clear, not to mention that the issue of heirs was a big deal, so he also asked: "Is it really as good as the wise brother said?"
"If my prediction is correct, not only you, but also the second sister-in-law has already suffered a loss, and the eldest sister has not grown up yet, so you two may..."
Although Jia Lian couldn't control his lust for women, considering what Chen Zhao said, considering his own situation, even if he was hesitant to believe it, he couldn't help but believe it.
After all, heirs are a big deal. If what Chen Zhao said is true, then someone wants him to cut off his descendants.
"I'm going to give my second brother a prescription. If my second cousin doesn't believe it, you can ask a doctor you trust to take a look at it," Chen Zhao stood up and wrote in a flash.
He glanced at Jia Lian and said, "I'll write down the pulse in the prescription later. You can ask a doctor to figure it out."
Jia Lian hurriedly said: "Thank you for your help, my dear brother."
Chen Zhao wrote the prescription and sighed softly. Jia Lian was feeling sensitive and asked, "Cousin, why is this happening?"
Chen Zhao sighed: "It's okay, I just thought of Dinghaibo Mansion."
Ding Haibo was a military minister during the period of the Supreme Emperor. He was loyal to the Supreme Emperor, but he spoiled his concubine and destroyed his wife. He had no legitimate son. Finally, after Emperor Xiaode came to the throne, Dinghaibo was old and asked for the crown prince, but Emperor Xiaode rejected it because he had no legitimate son.
Therefore, after the death of the old master, the infinitely famous Dingyuan Mansion disappeared into thin air, and a dozen concubines went their separate ways.
The eldest son of Rongguo Mansion is Jia Lian. If Jia Lian has no children...
Of course, the title will fall on Baoyu, who will give birth to his eldest grandson in the future. After all, he is still the younger brother of the imperial concubine.
Looking at Jia Lian's uncertain eyes, Chen Zhao smiled calmly in his heart.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Maybe Jia Lian is only 50% suspicious now, but when Jia Lian finds a trusted doctor in private to take a look, he will be very suspicious.
From now on, Jia Mansion will be more lively.
Immediately ask the Sixth Department of the Cabinet to investigate the case of the Li family's land occupation.
But even if the emperor was so angry, the six cabinet ministries were still wrangling.
To seize land, you need to have a benchmark, how much it was before, how much it is now, and who owns the land. Only then can you check. But the current benchmark in the Zhou Dynasty was set by Zhang Tingyu when he was in power during the reign of the Supreme Emperor.
At that time, Li Guangdi had retired, and the emperor and Zhang Tingyu gave him face. Changzhou was not included in the investigation. The amount of land owned by the Li family at that time had been recognized by the government inventory. In other words, according to the official document procedures, the Li family did not have any encroachment.
Totally legal.
Since there is such a name, there is no need to talk about embezzlement, let alone the need to investigate. Besides, who would dare to offend the Li family, the head of a large family in the south of the Yangtze River.
Emperor Xiaode had only been suppressed for a few days, but many people from the south of the Yangtze River came to tell him that Your Majesty should not listen to the slander, which chilled the hearts of the people in the world.
Even families like the Jinling Zhen family sent people to the capital to speak for the Li family.
Some of the sergeants in the capital have written articles and begun to praise the story of how Li Guangdi led his army in the battle against Yaksa and annihilated the Rakshasa soldiers. Some people also praised Li Guangdi and Zhang Tingyu's lineage for their ability to govern and serve the country.
Not only the scholars, but also many high-ranking officials in the court said that Li Guangdi was a master of Neo-Confucianism and the Li family was a noble family. If such a family had to be investigated, could the Zhou Dynasty still be polite?
Besides, who can serve as a high-ranking official in the imperial court and doesn’t have thousands of acres of fertile land at home?
You have become a high-ranking official in the imperial court, and your family does not have such a fortune. How dare you go out to become an official?
Aren't you afraid that the family elders will make fun of you behind your back?
After checking the Li family, the next step is to check who. Is it possible to check who among us has not returned to his hometown after his official career?
Therefore, no matter how concerned the emperor was about this matter, and how cleverly the big bosses responded, the officials below were always procrastinating and shifting the blame, using all available means, only to be handed over to the superiors and receive a few mild reprimands.
As a result, when the cabinet brought the matter to Emperor Xiaode, Emperor Xiaode, who was always majestic and the sage judge of all things, reprimanded them a few words and then ordered them to continue investigating.
What does this unpredictable gesture mean?
Could it be that the big guys above are starting a new round of fighting?
"Long live my lord, the Dragon Imperial Guard has submitted a report today."
Emperor Xiaode has been much more serious than usual during this period, whether in court meetings or in private. Dai Quan put a stack of documents in his hand on the desk in front of him. Emperor Xiaode did not behave as usual.
He turned over the same page, but stood up, turned around with his hands behind his back, and then said:
"What's going on in Beijing?"
"When I get back to Lord Long Live, people from the Li family in Changzhou have already arrived in Beijing. Several adults from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Husband are preparing to go to Shu to defend the Li family's affairs. People from the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Hanlin Academy are also preparing to go to Shu to plead with them. The servants still listen.
He said that some of the palace officials and ceremonial supervisors have also received the entrustment, and they may find an opportunity to talk to Long live the Lord."
"It's true that disciples and old officials are all over the world." Emperor Xiaode shook his head, but he didn't take it to heart. Instead, he continued to smile and said: "The Supreme Emperor also sent someone to say that Li Guangdi worked hard and served the country with great merit. His bones are not cold yet, so let me
Be cautious in everything.”
At this point, Emperor Xiaode sneered: "The Li family has become a benchmark for the high officials in the court. All of them are eagerly waiting to see how I will deal with the Li family in Changzhou. This affects thousands of scholars.
Where’s your face?”
Dai Quan just bowed, and Emperor Xiaode sat down again. He wanted to open the scroll and then closed it again. He tapped his fingers on the table and asked, "What is Chen Zhao, Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple doing?"
"Back to Long Live Lord, Chen Zhao has been deeply involved in the market during this period, taking charge of the work of refuting prison cases and re-examination of re-incarcerated prisoners. It is said that he has solved 80% of the unjust cases and unjust imprisonments in the past twenty years."
"He is a capable person!" Emperor Xiaode smiled and shook his head, and then asked: "Is the Qin family in Ningguo Mansion and Li still still practicing on behalf of Shuiyue Temple?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"In that case, I will grant her the title of Lady Official of Langhuan County, and temporarily serve on duty at Viscount Yingwu's Mansion."
