Chapter 138 Kou Baimen
Zhao Peng put his hand behind him, and a short seven-inch long knife quietly slid from his sleeve. Then he walked towards the woman with his hands behind his back, saying good things: "What can't the girl think about? Zhu Guobi rebelled and rebelled, and he deserved the crime and was already punished. With his talent and appearance, he can avoid the pain of teaching the Fangsi. If a hero in our army takes a fancy to the girl, the girl can be reborn."
"A bad thief, you hurt my husband and want the little woman to submit! Just give up this heart!" As he said, the woman was about to pull the sword hard in her hand and wipe her neck.
Zhao Peng made a quick decision, raised his right hand, and the short blade in his hand flew out like lightning, imparting to the point where the woman was holding the sword. He only heard a scream, and the short blade pierced into the woman's wrist, and the sword fell to the ground with a "bang".
Two Jinyiwei immediately stepped forward and kicked the sword away, one of them held the woman down.
Although the woman was subdued, she cursed: "Evil thief, don't insult my innocence, let me go!"
Zhao Peng walked forward, grabbed the woman's hair, pulled her head back, making her look up. Then she looked at the woman carefully. She saw that this woman was very beautiful, a little more beautiful than Princess Kunxing. Although she was slightly inferior to Chen Yuanyuan, she had the heroic spirit that Chen Yuanyuan did not have. She looked like a strong woman at first glance.
"What a strong woman, I like it!" Zhao Peng laughed. "This woman should be rewarded to the brother who has made great contributions. Bet on it and take care of her with delicious food and drink!"
"No!" The two Jinyiwei saluted and were about to bring this woman.
The beautiful woman roared: "A bad thief! Don't be foolish! I, Kou Baimen, swear to be incompatible with you!"
"Kou Baimen? Wait, bring her back!" Zhao Peng was stunned. Although he was a novice in history, he had heard of Kou Baimen's name. Isn't this one of the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai?
Two Jinyiwei stopped, Zhao Peng walked to Kou Baimen, reached out to pinch her chin, raised her head up, and looked at her flawless face carefully: What a peerless beauty! Although it is a second-hand car, it is a Rolls-Royce-level luxury car. And she is much more mature than Princess Kunxing, Fei Zhen'e, and Chen Yuanyuan. If Princess Kunxing is a little loli, then Fei Zhen'e is a young girl at the age of 16, and Chen Yuanyuan is an developed young woman, and the twenty-year-old Kou Baimen is a mature woman. Especially the headlights, the headlights of Kou Baimen are really big, and it is estimated that they are bigger than Princess Kunxing and Fei Zhen'e...
"A thief! Let me go!" Kou Baimen shouted at the top of his lungs.
Since he is one of the eight beauties of Qinhuai, how could Zhao Peng let her go? So Zhao Peng picked her up and threw her on his horse's back. He turned around and said to the Jinyiwei: "You continue to search the house, I will take Miss Kou back and have a heart-to-heart talk."
Zhao Peng drove his war horses to the Duke of Wei, the mansion of Duke of Wei, which had just been confiscated. The Duke of Wei was confiscated, and Xu Hongji and Xu Wenjue were both dead. Mrs. Xu and the men, women, young and old in the mansion were all thrown into the Jinyiwei Zhao Prison. What was waiting for them was the Third Department to try. Therefore, Zhao Peng did good deeds and took over the already unowned Duke of Wei.
Kou Baimen was taken home to have a heart-to-heart talk. I don’t know how long it took. In short, I have been talking since the morning and in the evening, even Zhu Cixuan organized people to discuss the throne ceremony in the cabinet in the afternoon. Anyway, it was just a matter of discussing how to arrange the throne ceremony to be handed over to civil servants. It was useless to go to Zhao Peng, and it would only cause trouble. He simply had a heart-to-heart talk with Kou Baimen in the afternoon, but no one knew what they were talking about. In short, the guidance was very successful. When Zhao Peng left the Duke's Mansion, Kou Baimen did not cry anymore, but held his arm, walking out of the mansion like a couple.
Zhao Peng was going to go into the palace to find Zhu Cilang, and Kou Baimen looked at him affectionately: "Zhao Lang, go early and go early, I will wait for you to come back."
After leaving the Duke's Mansion, Zhao Peng stepped on his white horse and said in his heart: Can the old thing Zhu Guobi compare with the labor and capital? Labor and capital is just an 18-year-old boy. In the era of bravery when the golden spear is not over, the old thing probably has been lax? Today, I talked with Miss Kou all day and enlightened her, making her unable to stop. By the way, Miss Kou just said that Chen Yuanyuan and Wu Xiaomei and the others have gone to Suzhou, and it seems that they are temporarily living in Qian Qianyi's house and living with Liu Rushi.
The old man, Shui Tailiang, was married to Liu Rushi, who was 23 years old when he was fifty-nine three years ago. Now Chen Yuanyuan and Wu Xiaomei have gone to him again. This old man is really lucky! But Wu Xiaomei, I guess that old man can't handle it, so it's hard to say that Yuanyuan girl.
However, the first time I was a human being in two lives, I gave it to a mature woman like this. I still feel a little sorry for the princess. It can be predicted that Princess Kunxing and Fei Zhen'e are like sisters. Moreover, the princess is a very traditional and conservative Chinese woman, so she will not be jealous of Fei Zhen'e, but it is hard to say other women. Think about it, there are good things to be good and bad things to be good, and the good things are relying on the big tree of the imperial family; the bad things are that you cannot take concubines as a prince consort.
However, Zhao Peng, a novice in history, had no idea that the officials of the Ming Dynasty were not able to take concubines as they wanted. If they wanted to take concubines, they first needed to get the consent of their wife before they could take concubines. If the wife was not allowed to take concubines, unless they were 40 years old, the officials could force them to take concubines without the consent of their wife.
The princesses of the Ming Dynasty were actually very tragic. After the princess got married, they needed to move out of the palace and moved into the princess's mansion. The princess needed to be controlled by the female officials and eunuchs. It was not easy for the princess to meet the princess. They needed to give gifts to the female officials and eunuchs of the princess' mansion so that they could agree to meet the princess. If the female officials and eunuchs did not agree, they could not meet.
The prince-consort can actually take concubines. Of course, like other officials, it needs to be allowed by the wife. That is, if the princess allows, the prince-consort can take concubines. However, the prince-consort in the Ming Dynasty had very few opportunities to meet with the prince-consort, so how could it be allowed to allow other women to share their husbands? What’s worse than other officials is that even if the prince-consort has no descendants, as long as the prince-consort disagrees, the prince-consort cannot take concubines on the pretext of not having a descendant. Therefore, the prince-consort in the Ming Dynasty almost never saw anyone taking concubines.
When he returned to the imperial city, Zhu Cixuan and the cabinet were still discussing the throne ceremony. In the afternoon, Ma Shiying came to the cabinet with a nervous mood, but when he heard Zhu Cixuan forgive his crimes, Ma Shiying knelt down at that time, kowtowed and shouted long live, saying that he would repay the emperor's kindness with death.
The date of the throne ceremony has been set. Five days later, Zhu Cixuan officially ascended the throne as Emperor Shaowu, Princess Kunxing was also granted the title of Princess Kunxing, Zhao Peng's son-in-law was granted the title of Zhongyong Bo, and also served as the commander of the Central Army of the Emperor of Nandu and the commander of the Jinyiwei.
When I walked into Wenyuan Pavilion, a group of people were still there. Except for Zhu Cixuan and the people from the six ministries of the cabinet, several nobles who were not implicated this time, such as Huaiyuan Hou Chang Yanling, Chengyi Bo Liu Kongzhao, Cao Guoguo Li Hongji, Xin Guoguo Duke Tang Guozuo and others were also here.
Although Huaiyuan Hou Chang Yanling was just a marquis, who looked inferior to those dukes on the surface, in fact, Huaiyuan Hou Chang Yanling, the descendant of Chang Yuchun, was the real second-denomination in Nanjing. The one who was named Duke of the Kingdom of Chang Yuchun was also the Duke of the Kingdom of E. After Chang Yuchun's death, his descendants were implicated in the Lan Yu case, and Duke of the Kingdom of E would be Huaiyuan Hou.
Therefore, Huaiyuan Hou Chang Yanling's status among the nobles was still above Duke Cao, Duke Xin and others.
"Congratulations to the prince-in-law, loyal and brave uncle Zhao Wenfeng!" Chang Yanling saw Zhao Peng coming in, stood up and greeted him with a smile.
"Brother Zhongyong?" Zhao Peng was stunned for a moment.
