Chapter 64 Unbearable

In the 11th year of Hongzhi, Ma Wen, the minister of the Ministry of War, ascended to Emperor Xiaozong to abolish the "virtual forehead" of the army.

He successively assisted the Daizong Zhu Qiyu, Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, Xianzong Zhu Jianshen and Ma Wensheng, the "four dynasties elders" of this dynasty. He had a clear understanding of the crux of the military and politics at that time. Since Emperor Xianzong, the military and politics have accumulated deep shortcomings and must be rectified. The first to bear the brunt of them are the false positions of the imperial horse prison, weaving and Zhai.

Emperor Xiaozong thought that the world was peaceful now, and several small empty positions were not enough, so he did not say anything. When Empress Zhang heard about this, she took the opportunity to propose that some of the left guards stationed in the area should be scattered to various royal palaces as guardians, which can reduce part of the military expenditure and can also be classified as military in wartime, which is equivalent to supporting Ma Wensheng's proposal in disguise and not hurting the harmony of kings and ministers.

When Empress Zhang saw that Emperor Xiaozong was considering it, she took advantage of the hot iron and said, "King Ning's Mansion frequently presents tributes to the palace, including good silk, pastries, local specialties, jade... Every time she comes to Beijing to pay tribute, she remembers the emperor's dragon body. The emperor should also remember the fact that he is also the blood of the royal family, and slightly expresses his holy grace... It seems that restoring the escort of the royal palace is the best of both sides!"

Xiaozong thought left and right and almost agreed to Queen Zhang's suggestion, but in the end he patted his thigh: "This can't be done!"

He remembered the original intention of Zhu Di, the brave and warlike brother Zhu Quan (the first generation of King Ning) in Jiangxi, so that he could stay away from the border and no longer develop: strictly restrict the vassal kings, especially the close relatives of the royal family, and strictly prohibit them from having armed forces, so as not to follow the example and stage the usurpation of "Jingnan" again. Big play. During the Tianshun period, the king of Ning was eager to try, and there were many illegal things. Yingzong repeatedly took his guard and changed it to Nanchang Zuowei - the current fifth grandson, can he really forget these hatreds?

Xiaozong shook his head and pointed to Empress Zhang and said, "You are the queen of a country. The whole Ming Dynasty is ours. How can you speak for someone because of a little tribute? No one is allowed to mention this again in the future! You should be vigilant and self-reflection, mother of the world, that's what you should do! Go away!"

Empress Zhang returned to her court with great grievance and said to the eunuch Liu Jin, "Oh, there is nothing I can do. Go and tell Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, that I have tried my best!"

At this moment, Liu Jin looked more sad than Zhu Chenhao. He thought that it was useless for the queen to speak, and there was indeed no other way, so he had to smile and said, "The queen is willing to open her golden mouth, which is already the great face of King Ning!" I think King Ning will also be grateful! I'm going down to tell King Ning!"

"Come back!" Empress Zhang stopped Liu Jin again, "Why is it that my family is not as energetic as when I was a child when I saw this king Ning today? It's a little stupid!"

A trace of panic flashed in Liu Jin's eyes, but at the moment he took two steps forward, he quickly calmed down and said, "The queen has been in the palace for a long time. What she saw in the palace is full of dragons and phoenixes, the prince is smart, and the little princess Jinzhiyuye..."

"Okay, you Liu Jin, just have a lot of work! However, don't think that you can do anything outside when you see me! Let me ask you, have you stepped in the Shaanxi Tea Horse Market?

"Queen Mingjian, the smuggling of tea horses is a death crime, and Ling Chi will be executed! Even if I have great courage, I don't dare to touch those two words!" Liu Jin immediately knelt to the ground!

"Get up, this palace is just a test. I also heard the officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice say that the tea horse dealer captured by Yang Duyu came out. The tea horse trade for several years is related to the people in the palace. However, the prisoner has died strangely and is said to have committed suicide in prison. This is over! You remind other eunuchs that anyone in the harem will never tolerate anyone who sells tea horses in my name!"

Yes! I just wrote it down!" Liu Jin's tone of speech clearly trembled beyond concealment.

. Outside the palace wall, Lou Suzhen, who accompanied Zhu Chenhao and came to Beijing to pay tribute, walked on the street - over the years, Lou Suzhen has hardly changed much, and still looked back at Jinghong. Wherever he went, passers-by stopped one after another and scrambled to see what the country was! When passers-by saw her holding Zhu Chenhao with Mumu, they all shook their heads and sighed.

The only change of Lou Suzhen is that her face is a little more calm and indifferent. Walking in the bustling crowd, she seems to be isolated from the world and turning a blind eye to the guidance of passers-by. She raised her arm gently and hung her sleeves down, revealing her shiny arms. She took off a sugar gourd from the sugar ball cushion and handed it to Zhu Chenhao. Looking at him jump up happily, she smiled faintly.

Several dilly have been staring at her for a long time. I can't believe that such a beautiful woman is accompanied by a fool, so they came forward. T tease. Zhu Chenhao suddenly showed a fierce light and shouted, "What are you going to do? Stop it!" The sharp bamboo stick has reached the neck of a leading dage.

The dage shouted, "Forgive my life! I dare not!" and ran away with my life!

Looking at them disappear, Zhu Chenhao turned his eyes in Lou Suzhen's arms. After a while, he woke up and looked for his sugar-coated haws everywhere. Passers-by were extremely puzzled when they saw this, and Lou Suzhen just watched quietly from beginning to end, as if she had been used to all this. She gently pulled Zhu Chenhao's sleeve: "Your Majesty, let's go!"

Zhu Chenhao followed Lou Suzhen step by step, and kissed her from time to time, making her cheeks sticky. Lou Suzhen said anxically, "You! It's getting worse and worse!"

" Suzhen! Is that you?" As she was walking, Lou Suzhen heard a familiar voice called herself by someone behind her.

Lou Suzhen quickly turned around and shouted in surprise, "Bhu! Why are you in the capital?!"

Tang Yin saw that it was Lou Suzhen and said happily, "What a coincidence! I also wonder who can have such a beautiful figure as Suzhen's sister. It's really you! I came to Beijing for next year's trial! Anyway, I'm bored at home. My vain wife is rushing me to get fame every day. Why don't you come to the capital for a trip and relieve your heart!"

"My aunt was frightened by the last time Xu's hanging. Are you still quarreling like that for three days?" Lou Suzhen asked with concern.

"Well, it's hard to say. Let's find a teahouse for a cup of tea. Let's go! Talk while walking!" Tang Yin said.

At the same time, Tang Yin also found Zhu Chenhao's strangeness. He didn't know whether to ask or not. He was hesitating and bumped into Lou Suzhen's eyes - for so many years, he saw that her heart was still like hitting a deer.

Lou Suzhen saw Tang Yin's eyes looking at Zhu Chenhao and knew what he wanted to ask, so he smiled and said, "Since he got married, he has been different day and night. Today, he is only the IQ of a six- or seven-year-old child. However, at night, he was extremely awake and could not sleep. He often called up all the people in the house in the middle of the night and arranged this and that, which made the whole family in the house unbearable!

Tang Yin's expression immediately became alert. He was not as indifferent as Lou Suzhen, but asked nervously, "You have never thought about what's going on?"

Lou Suzhen still smiled faintly: "At first, I was also afraid, but later I thought about it, what else can't be lost!" So, I calmed down and counted the day by day, but later I found that he didn't do anything big, let alone hurt me except day and night.

" Su Zhen, you have really changed a lot and have become that you don't care about anything! Yi Bohu, this matter will not be so simple. It may be a big conspiracy! If he is two people at all...don't you think it's a terrible thing? Tang Yin looked at Lou Suzhen very puzzledly, distressed and helpless, and could only barter on the ground in vain.

Lou Suzhen got up, walked to Tang Yin and pulled his arm: "Bo Hu, Suzhen, please don't say anything about this! Especially for Bo'an, don't mention it!"

"Bian, Bian, it's Boan again! He ruined you and Yunyu, and you still think about him everywhere! He has a father with only a son in his eyes, which is enough! The whole world has to give way to him! He has his mission and a father who cares about his future. What about you? Is your life worthless?" Tang Bohu almost roared.

Lou Suzhen quietly waited for him to lose his temper. She knew that it was useless to say anything at this time.

Tang Bohu finally calmed down and suppressed his heartache and said, "Yunyu, is there still no news?"

Lou Suzhen shook her head: "No! Since Yunyu disappeared, I have gone to my uncle's house every three or five times, but even my uncle has no hope!"

"Wang Bo'an never went back to his hometown to ask whether he was dead or alive?" Tang Yin's chest kept fluctuating because of anger, and he tried his best to control himself not to get angry.

Lou Suzhen helped him to his seat and poured a cup of tea: "Bohu, don't blame Bo'an. It's his business! He was assigned to the northwest by the emperor. If he doesn't come back during the trial period, he will resist the order! Besides, Yunyu is no longer his wife. In order to gamble, no one can leak the disappearance of Yunyu! In addition, my uncle also learned that on the day of the accident, Yunyu robbed the food for disaster relief and was chased to the cliff by the officers and soldiers and fell!"

Tang Yin's eyes were a little wet: "That's right back, how could Yunyu do such a stupid thing? For a few children to study, she had a quarrel with her uncle. In order not to be hungry, she even risked her life!"

Lou Suzhen also cut the corners of her eyes with her sleeves: "Although Yunyu is reckless, Suzhen absolutely does not believe that she will do such a thing. There must be an inside story! Uncles learned from the government office that Yunyu was holding a child in his hand, which was the son of the robber, so they speculated that Yunyu took the child there to persuade the robbers, not their accomplices or report to them - after all, his uncle was Hongdu, who supervised the transportation of grain and grass, and his uncle knew that the food and fodder were robbed. There is also the crime of dereliction of duty, and Yunyu can't let her uncle get into trouble. Fortunately, my uncles unblocked many aspects, and Yunyu was erased when the government office filed a case. However, poor Yunyu's sister is alive and dead..."

said Lou Suzhen couldn't stand it anymore, and she sobbed loudly! Instead, Tang Yin comforted her helplessly, blamed herself for being bad, and mentioned this matter again! Zhu Chenhao also rushed over to join in the fun, lifted his clothes and wiped away Lou Suzhen's tears.

Tang Yin sighed: "I didn't expect that the fate of the four of us would be like this..."
