During the entire Children's Festival, Qian Ning's house had no shortage of guests, and they were so overwhelmed with gifts.

No, now we can no longer call it Qian's Mansion, we have to change it to "Zhu's Mansion" - Qian Ning has been adopted as his adopted son and given the national surname.

Qian Ning was so clever that he hired a craftsman to quickly make the plaque and lantern that day, and quickly turned it into "Zhu Mansion".

Of course, the courtiers were in a panic, and the impeachment papers were handed out in piles.

Some people directly impeached Qian Ning, such as the supervisory censor Zhou Guang wrote: "Jin Yiwei commanded Zhu Ning to be the eunuch Qian Neng's servants. It is not appropriate to assume the emperor's surname, call himself a adopted son, and spoil the government by his parents." It was also said that the monks in the palace were disrupting the government.

Justified.

There are also those who talk about the overall situation from the perspective of national affairs. For example, Feng Xun, the head of the Ministry of Household Affairs, wrote a letter stating seven things. In addition to the commonplaces such as "valuing Confucian officials to clarify principles" and "recruiting loyalty and uprightness to boost morale", he also mentioned "re-gifting surnames to eliminate the problem of family members".

Suspicion" and "Choose a clan to capture the crown prince."

These two people have always been upright and upright. They are not people that some feudal kings can buy with money and silk. They represent the mainstream attitude of courtiers.

And what is the emperor's attitude?

When the old god was there, he went to Xiyuan to stay, leaving all the records. Several elders of the pavilion went there to ask for an audience, and they went several times before they were able to meet the saint.

The elders tried hard to persuade them, but the result was...

On the second day, the emperor first "given one hundred and twenty-seven adopted sons, all with the surname Zhu"——

Among them were palace guards, eunuchs' nephews, and people from the market. Anyway, he liked them all, so he took them to his side and adopted them as his adopted sons.

You say his Qing Palace is empty? He can fill it for you with his "godson"!

Later, he was given two hundred ultimatums from the real person Tianliangzi, the master of Tianliang Palace.

If you say he is close to a Buddhist monk, he can show you how close he is to a Taoist monk!

Although the emperor had such a willful temperament that he spanked children, it has become much more reliable in recent years, especially the opening of the sea in Shandong, the promulgation of the vassal regulations, the proposal of good governance such as the clearing of land and land, and the rapid removal of Liu Jin, which all made the courtiers feel that

The emperor grew up and began to behave like a wise king.

But this time, he seemed to have suddenly turned back into the willful and mischievous young emperor. The more he wrote letters to admonish him, the more he became antagonizing the courtiers.

Just like this, the New Year passed.

Si Xiang of the Imperial Ancestral Temple? There is no such thing.

The young master of the Ning Mansion was very embarrassed. He was probably not willing to return home empty-handed, so he fell ill at the right time and asked to stay in Beijing to recuperate.

Whether the emperor is happy or not, we cannot force a sick child to go on the road in this winter. Of course, the report must be accurate, and the imperial doctor must be sent for consultation and medicinal materials, and the official documents must be sufficient.

Although there were many "adopted sons", Qian Ning's status was still the most special one. He was considered the "eldest son", and he was the closest person to the emperor and had the highest official position.

There was another rumor in Xiyuan that the emperor was drunk and fell asleep with Qian Ning's legs in his arms. No one could compare to this honor.

That's why there was such a lively scene with so many guests. Everyone came here from the time of "Liu Qiansui", and they all know the current temper and how powerful the emperor's ministers are.

And when such a big piece of pie fell from the sky and hit him on the head, it was hard for Qian Ning not to be confused by the hit.

Although he knew in his heart that Ning Fan kept pushing the fourth young master to be the chief minister of the Imperial Ancestral Temple, the emperor did not relent, but at this moment, he snuck him out as his adopted son, just to block the arrows.

so what!!

Who wouldn't want the title "Concubine Prince"?!

Now that he was walking in the palace, the fawning smiling faces of the chamberlains were everywhere. The big ones who usually had their eyes on their heads also became warm. Even Zhang Yong, Wang Yue and Liu Zhong saw him.

They all say hello politely. Why doesn’t he want this “emperor’s concubine”?!

He was directly promoted to a thousand households, and the eldest son also had to be promoted to a hundred households. Look at the traffic in front of his house, and the power and wealth rolling in. Why didn't he want this "emperor's concubine"?

As for Ning Fan, he did have the intention to bet on Ning Fan, the young master.

However, since the emperor had set up his shield, he looked down upon the young master of Ning Mansion. That one could only be Prince Ning's little concubine, so he had nothing to take care of.

Besides, he accepted Ning Fan's gift, but he also spoke for Ning Fan.

Take money to do things fairly and reasonably.

In the future, only Ning Fan will ask for his help.

Qian Ning thought clearly here. When Mr. Miao of the Ning Mansion over there came to the door, he put on all the airs of being an "emperor's concubine".

Open your mouth and keep silent, the emperor's kindness is great, you are loyal to your family, and you will obey the imperial edict.

Mr. Miao was so angry that he cursed the villain for his success, but there was nothing he could do about it, so he could only throw away his sleeves and walk away.

After returning to the house, Mr. Miao told Mr. Li everything about Qian Ning's words and deeds.

As he expected, Mr. Li went into a rage and smashed a lot of things. "You're just a little loach, but you really think you jumped over the dragon's gate?! This idiot is delivering food to the imperial censor."

He knocked on the desk impatiently and told Mr. Miao, "Go on and find those scornful Confucians. They don't have to spend any money just to show off. Is it in line with their Confucian ways to adopt an eunuch as an adopted son? Let these hard-core people continue to write."

"

Mr. Miao thought to himself, are there too many previous impeachments? This is the impeachment, and the crown prince was specifically mentioned as an adopted son, but the emperor did not respond at all!

The reason for this is that Mr. Li made a bad move!

They originally planned to follow up with several rounds of letters to force the emperor to recognize the minister of the Ancestral Temple. Unexpectedly, as soon as Shen Li resigned, those people were immediately shocked by the "emperor's anger".

That's the position of a minister. Who would believe that someone would throw it away?

Moreover, if it is to the extent that officials must be thrown away, it must mean that the emperor's punishment will be more severe than demoting.

Although it is said that wealth can be found in danger, but they are all old-timers in the officialdom. Who would risk their current real future to achieve the illusory merit of following the dragon when they have not even written a word about their fortune?

As for the people, the common people are more interested in a "Shang Shu with the shortest tenure in history", especially during this period, there are also stories about the grievances and grievances of wealthy families that the common people love to hear, such as "the minister just lost his official position, and the son-in-law of Tanhua divorced the minister's daughter."

Discussing whether a small vassal prince can be the incense minister of the imperial temple?

The little Fourth Young Master's call almost disappeared.

However, the emperor first touched Shen Li's official son, and then adopted an eunuch's adopted son as his adopted son. This attitude was already very obvious!

Accepting a person with a low status as an adopted son may sound deviant, but in fact, it is no different from the tigers, leopards, and wolves raised in the leopard room, and it will not affect the inheritance of the children at all.

It's impossible for him to be the son of a vassal king who will influence his heirs.

Those courtiers who were already shocked by Shen Li's incident became less and less optimistic about the Fourth Young Master. Even when Mr. Miao came to visit with heavy gifts, he could not get a few words of affirmative support for the Young Fourth Young Master.

"The matter of impeachment of the adopted son cannot be discontinued. Let the eldest princesses of the clan and the eldest princesses also come out and say something."

Mr. Li pointed at Mr. Miao and said, "The British government is also looking for someone. Just say in Zhang Hui's ear, 'Qian Ning is not a eunuch.' Qian Ning is now a thousand households, can you?

Are you worried about the commander? That Zhang Hui also came up by trying to curry favor with that person, so why don’t you be wary of Qian Ning? Let them go dog-eat-dog."

Mr. Miao thought to himself, not to mention that Zhang Hui’s current status is not suitable for the people around him, even if he is, the provocation is too obvious. Zhang Hui is not a fool to be able to get to this point. He will be easily fooled.

Provoke it?!

If I really follow Mr. Li's step-by-step instructions, I'm afraid I'll have to do something wrong.

Mr. Miao made up his mind and just followed the story.

Mr. Li paid no attention to Mr. Miao's attitude and insisted on sticking to the Zhang family of the Queen Mother's family.

At this time, it was time for the Queen Mother to speak out.

Suddenly I heard Mr. Li ask, "What is this loser Zhang Yao doing now?"

This man who prides himself on having a perfect plan will never admit that he has made a mistake.

There was nothing wrong with his plan, but the person who executed it failed. From now on, he often talks about "Zhang Hao's trash".

Mr. Miao frowned, "He has been taking leave since the Chinese New Year and has not gone to the Hanlin Academy. Some of the rumors on the street are really ugly. I am just preparing to quote him and say that Shen Shangshu is dedicated to serving the country.

Recommend the fourth son-in-law, but the treacherous person confuses the Holy Lord, Shen Shangshu cannot bear to implicate his son-in-law..."

When Shen Li resigned, how many people were staring at the Shen family. The news of the divorce could not be hidden from anyone. Zhang Hao immediately became known to everyone as the villain who used to flatter his father-in-law, a high-ranking official, and abandoned his wife when his father-in-law lost power.

At the same time, the old stories about Zhang Hao's grandfather Zhang Yuanzhen's involvement in the camp were also uncovered.

Zhang Hao was poked in the spine and scolded wherever he went. He simply complained that he was sick and refused to go to the office. He just stayed at home and wanted to wait for this matter to fade away. He will try it out soon, and there will be a steady stream of new topics.

If he emerges, no one will say anything about him.

Mr. Miao was very optimistic about Zhang Hao. He was young, well-read, and had a good brain. He also had the status of being a top talent. He was a talent that could be made. The Ning Mansion had invested a lot in him and pointed him to climb up the ladder.

.

Now, it's great. Mr. Li cut off all his support with one bad move, and even splashed sewage all over him. What else could he do?

So I thought I could help clear things up.

Mr. Xiao Li sneered and said, "You think about this good-for-nothing Zhang Hao. Why don't you feel bad about wasting the prince's money?"

Mr. Miao's face turned ugly, "He is still a man who is a beauty after all." He spoke with a heavy accent, "My ancestors have been in Jiangxi for generations, and they are loyal to the prince..."

But Mr. Li interrupted, "I didn't say I didn't need him."

He paused, then chuckled, "His appearance and identity as a scout can be used for good purposes. Isn't it true that the eldest daughter of Marquis Jianchang hasn't been married yet?"

Mr. Miao didn't react for a moment. He shook his head and then said in surprise: "The eldest daughter of Zhang Yanling, Marquis of Jianchang?!" Isn't that person still in the nunnery?!

Because they deliberately wanted to win over the Zhang family, their relatives, they inquired about the Zhang family's situation from top to bottom.

"That person offended the current Empress Dowager De and Yang Ge's daughter. Now that they are past their prime, the Zhang family still dare not bring them back. We are just afraid that this plan will not work." Mr. Miao is serious.
