Chapter 174 Medicine
Chapter 174
The accession of the new emperor is a major event for the ministers of the foreign court. Crisis and opportunities coexist. At this ** time, everyone will be a little worried and everyone has some expectations.
When the day changes, it is a time when you can take advantage of the muddy water to fish. At this time, some people want to keep their positions, while others want to take the opportunity to take the top.
For the nobles, no matter who of the Zhu family ascends the throne, they are under great pressure, the glory of the hereditary Lord will not be deprived, and the position in the Beijing camp will not be beaten by thunder. Therefore, the nobles, including the British Duke Zhang Mao and Xu Guangzuo, the Duke of Ding, are as stable as Mount Tai, just as Zhang Mao and Xu Guangzuo play chess in Xishan Pavilion. As discussed, the only thing to do is to sit firmly on the fishing platform and sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight.
For the literary ministers, the imperial edict on his deathbed lists the three university scholars in the cabinet as ministers, so in general, the situation in the foreign court will not be bad. There are three university scholars in front, and the six government departments behind will naturally have no difference; and according to the recent performance of the new emperor, for the three The university scholar also seemed to be extremely respected. The three university scholars asked the new emperor to participate in all the activities, and several personnel appointments proposed by Li Dongyang were also approved, as if everything was under control.
Compared with the frankness of the foreign officials and nobles, the atmosphere in the inner court is dull and tense, just like a can full of gunpowder. Everyone knows that as long as there is a little spark inadvertently, it will lead to a big explosion.
Liu Jin and others, who serve the East Palace, now have very different identities. As the closest people around the new emperor, how can these people be willing to be close servants of the emperor for a lifetime? As eunuchs, the only official position that can be sought is the official position of the inner court.
The 24 government offices of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is headed by the ceremonial supervisor. Needless to say, it is the highest government of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The eunuchs in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have the power equivalent to the chief assistant of the cabinet, and can even directly intervene in the government. The rest of the internal rites, such as the Dongshi Factory and the Imperial Horse Supervisor, are all powerful institutions. Money is rich; there is no doubt that these key departments are definitely the primary targets for competition.
People with clear eyes can see that a grand drama of competition for power in the inner court is about to begin. Some people secretly made a comparison. For Wang Yue, the eunuch in charge of Si Li, Fan Heng, the eunuch and Admiral of Dongchang, Xu Zhi, the leader of the Imperial Horse, their advantages are deep-rooted, high in power, and could not be easily pulled down. On the contrary, Liu Jin and others, who challenged their position, seem to be at an absolute disadvantage. , no money, no soldiers, and all under the eyes of Wang Yue Fanheng and others.
However, smart people will naturally not be so simple to compare with their inherent strength, because Liu Jin, Zhang Yong and others hold the last trump card, which is the new emperor Zhu Houzhao. In any case, the power of the inner court comes from the emperor. Which side the emperor prefers, which side has a direct chance of winning. This is the confidence of Liu Jin and others. Obviously, Zhengde is inclined to be with Liu Jin and others.
But the problem is that neither side has found a suitable opportunity to fight. Everyone is a little afraid of each other's strength. No one will rush to take action without a definite grasp. As the emperor, Zhu Houzhao can't remove Wang Yue, Fanheng, Xu Zhi and others for no reason. It's not that he has the right to do so. But there is no reason.
The two sides were deadlocked like a dead silence before the war. When they met in the palace, they were full of peaceful smiles, but both sides felt murderousness from each other's eyes; two buckets of gunpowder were placed together, and the last one was almost detonated.
Song Nan naturally took all this in his eyes. He has obtained the waist card of General Jinyiwei Dahan, which is the only identity symbol in Jinyiwei who can legally serve the emperor. He has entered and exited the palace many times, and the smell of smoke and gunpowder in the palace can naturally be smelled.
But Song Nan is not going to do anything deliberately. In this ** period, it is unwise for him to jump out. Jumping out of the storm is tantamount to looking for death. I'm afraid that the officials of the Ming Dynasty will stare at the inner court. No one will make a statement or make biased remarks. They all seem to be indifferent. Son, but Song Nan knew that someone had already begun to stand in line.
Politics is a gamble. There are always some speculators who are willing to bet on this gamble. If they win, they will be full of pots. If they lose, they will lose. Song Nan will undoubtedly stand in his heart. Naturally, he wants to bet on Liu Jin and Zhang Yong's side, because he can only bet on this side.
Fan Heng is the mastermind behind the poisoning of Song Nan. Song Nan has long been looking for an opportunity to avenge this arrow. How can he expect him? If Wang Yue and Fan Heng wins, his future life will be even more sad. What's more, Song Nan understands Zhengde's bias. Does he stand on the opposite of Zhengde? This is simply a joke.
As always, Song Nan carefully managed an acre of land in Zhengnanfang. Sometimes he went to the palace to accompany Zhengde to talk, play golf, tennis and basketball, and the relationship with Zhengde also needed to be managed. Although Zhu Houzhao said that he regarded himself as a private friend that night, Song Nan would not believe such a thing. Shengjiao is not far from death. Zhengde has proposed to promote Song Nan several times, but Song Nan politely declined. He did not have a practical contribution to promotion. If he is promoted only by his relationship with Zhengde, it will not only arouse the disgust of others, but also make Zhengde despise himself.
Song Nan can see that Zhengde is a person with a personality. His unintentional rescue has created the relationship with him now, but this relationship has not yet been seriously tested. The best way to maintain this way is to leave a sense of freshness and mystery and wait for an opportunity to sublimate this relationship. At this time Any act that causes disgust may become a seed and slowly develop into a cancer.
The relationship between Song Nan and the little princess has advanced rapidly, and the two have been grinding together for a long time, and they can't control it.
One noon in July, the people of Song Mansion were taking a nap, and Song Nan secretly made out with the little princess who was almost resident in the Song family in the cool bamboo forest. The two tossed on the grass for a while, which made the little princess blush, her eyes blurred, and her mouth was dry. Song Nan took out her hand under her skirt. Song Nan didn't dare to get out of control.
"Song Lang, you...you..." The little princess hummed softly, leaning against Song Nan's body, and her hair was wet on her forehead.
Song Nan stopped and smiled, "How about my means?"
The little princess glanced at Song Nan's neck and said, "Song Lang, it's not a way to go on like this. When can we be together?"
Song Nan smiled and said, "I also want to, but your grandfather and brother can't eat me when they see me. Even if I entrust someone to hire me, I'm afraid they will also close the door."
The little princess whispered, "I can tell you that my brother has told me that the Xu family has discussed marriage with my grandfather and will give a bride price in a few days. If you are not in a hurry, I will be forced to marry the old man Xu Yande."
Song Nan was shocked and said, "Did you agree?"
The little princess twisted her body and said, "How can I agree, but if you don't figure it out, it's really over."
Song Nan was entangled by her soft body, but now she said a little upsetly, "Your old man is really too stubborn, but if they really want you to marry someone else, don't blame me for turning against anyone."
The little princess smiled and said, "I have a way. I don't know if you dare."
Song Nan said, "What can you do?"
The little princess came to Song Nan's ear and said, "Are we taking risks? Cook the raw rice..."
Song Nan was shocked and said quickly, "This can't be done."
The little princess said sadly, "Why not? Don't you want to marry me soon?"
Song Nan said, "Of course, I hope you and I can be perfect, but how can I use these three abusive methods? Didn't you teach your grandfather and your brother to misunderstand my character, thinking that I was really tempting you to lose your life and forcing them to accept me?
The little princess bit her lower lip and said, "But other than that, I can't think of anything else. I think of our established fact that our marriage with the Duke of Dingguo will definitely be blown up. Although Grandpa and brother will definitely be angry, but who else can they marry me besides you?"
Song Nan sighed and shook her head and said, "Although it's a good move, I can't do this. It's better to let your grandfather and brother agree to the marriage, otherwise I will never do that."
The little princess snorted, "Then I don't know them until the sun comes out in the west?"
Song Nan said, "No, this method is too much. We'd better find another way."
The little princess shrank her head around Song Nan's neck and thought for a moment, "Well, let's wait for grandpa and brother to show mercy. God knows if there will be such a day."
Song Nan just wanted to comfort a few words, but suddenly asked a strange fragrance at the end of her nose. The little princess was playing with a beautiful porcelain bottle in her hand. She felt that the small porcelain bottle was a little familiar and hurriedly asked, "What is this?"
The little princess smiled and said, "Stupid Langjun, do you still come to ask me about your things?"
Song Nan's mind was confused. Suddenly, she saw that the little princess stretched out her tongue and licked it in the mouth of the small porcelain bottle. Suddenly, she remembered that the porcelain bottle was the ** used in the bottle given to her by Zhang Yong. She hid in her arms and dared not show anyone. I don't know when she was touched by the little princess.
"Princess, you can't take that medicine." Song Nan exclaimed.
The little princess giggled, touched the smell and rushed up, and kissed Song Nan's mouth. Song Nan felt the slightly sweet medicine handed over on the tip of the little princess's tongue flowing down her throat. In just a moment, she felt that something was wrong with her body.
The little princess gasped and said, "Song Lang, I took the initiative to take this matter. You want to be a gentleman, but I want to stay with you for a long time. You can't let Grandpa marry me to the Xu family. Ah... What are you doing?"
Song Nan did not answer, reached out and took off the little princess's clothes. The little princess was shocked and said, "Is it here?"
Song Nan gritted his teeth and endured the tidey desire and said, "Isn't it enough for you to ask for it, the sky is the quilt, the earth is the bed, and the bamboo forest breeze as a medium?"
The little princess was still waiting to speak. Song Nan picked up the little princess's body and sat in her arms and went straight to the point with her hands. The little princess could no longer speak and came sideways to kiss Song Nan.
I don't know when I felt that my lower body was cold, and the thin trousers in my skirt had been faded. When I was shy, I only felt that a hot thing had reached the place of shame. As soon as I remembered to avoid it, Song Nan pinched her waist with both hands and pressed it down. The little princess hummed, and tears of pain were about to come out.
Song Nan did not pity the jade at all. The desire in her head turned upside down and rushed left to right. The little princess gritted her teeth and cried in pain. She only felt the hot, swollen and hot pain. After a while, the pain subsided. A strange feeling rose up and her body shook several times.
Song Nan picked up her body and put it on the grass and fought mercilessly. It was not until she vented that she suddenly realized that she was too rude and hurriedly looked at the little princess with a red tide on her face.
"Little princess, how are you? I... I'm too rude. How can you drug me?"
The little princess breathed a sigh of relief, slowly opened her eyes, and looked at Song Nan with confusion and said, "It's so hot."
Song Nan smiled bitterly, "Is it just hot?"
The little princess sighed again, "What a happy thing. If I had known this, I would have drugged you."
Song Nan almost fell down.
