Seeing his two sons, the eldest son was flirting with women, and he was so arrogant that he teased the palace maids after drinking, which almost caused a disaster! The second son made money and fought with his in-law Qingyun’s mansion in the street, which made the emperor angry and his two sons were worried.
The ancestor was thinking about the daughter of Empress Dowager Zhang in the palace, and suddenly felt dazed. The ancestor seemed to have returned to his daughter’s preparation for the talent show. At that time, the Zhang family was still a scholarly family that was passed down from poetry and rituals. The eldest uncle Zhang Qi was a Jinshi or a third-rank civil servant. He did not take the talent show seriously, thinking that it was just a formality, and his two sons would still have the imperial examination in the future.
But his daughter was chosen as the crown princess and was named the queen in the same year.
From then on, the Zhang family became a relative of the scholarly family. Her husband passed away early. At that time, both sons were teenagers and were at the most rebellious age. However, they were both awarded titles at this age. In order to accompany her daughter, Queen Zhang, who was responsible for childbirth, she also entered the palace. Since then, the two sons have no education or control, and have abandoned their studies and grown into what they are today.
If the Zhang family was still inherited from poetry and rituals, would the two sons pass the imperial examination and become officials, and would there be no today’s turmoil?
Unfortunately, there has never been any if in this world, and there are gains and losses.
Alas… The ancestor retracted his thoughts and said, “Zu Cao beat the drum of the Dengwen Gu, sued our family to hide the dragon robe and intend to rebel. Our family does not do anything wrong, and is not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. We know that Cao Zu is a false accusation. Those who are Qing are clear, so they don’t have to pay attention. The court will find out that Cao Zu was a false accusation and give us the innocence of the Zhang family.”
“However, this matter is that Cao Zu died of poison on the spot, and there is no evidence of death. Hundreds of people watched on the spot. There were a lot of controversy in the whole capital in the morning. It was said that our Zhang family had hidden the dragon robe and rebelled. Cao Zu, who complained, was already dead. It is said that blood splattered three feet away and died unjustly. Those who did not know the truth spread rumors, saying that our Zhang family poisoned and poisoned him to silence him.”
“If Cao Zu is alive, we don’t have to do anything. We wait for the emperor to send someone to interrogate Cao Zu and find out who was instructing him to falsely accus us. But now, when Cao Zu died, not only can he not find out the person behind the scenes, but the injustice of our Zhang family will be difficult to expose.”
The ancestor looked at his two sons with a steady attitude, “Now, you two immediately write a self-defense memorial, write a letter to the emperor to prove your innocence.”
The eldest son, Shouning Hou, Dongfu, hurriedly said: “Mother, will this make a big deal of the problem? Our Zhang family is innocent? The court will come to investigate and we will cooperate. It is absolutely impossible for our family to hide the dragon robe privately, and we will not be able to rebel. I am so anxious to write a letter to defend myself, as if we are afraid of false accusations. Once this starts, the Zhang family will sue today, and the Li family will sue tomorrow, when will it be?”
The second son, Jianchang Hou of the West Prefecture, said: “Brother, my mother wants us to defend ourselves, we just defend ourselves. We must believe in our mother, the court, and the emperor. What my brother can think of, of course, my mother also thinks ofIt is definitely the best way to write a letter to defend yourself. “
The younger brother said this. The Marquis of the East Mansion knew that if he said another question, he would probably be despised as disobeying his mother, so he had to shut up and write a self-defense memorial with his younger brother.
The two sons wrote the memorial, and the ancestor read it one by one, and personally picked up the pen to correct it several places, and at the end they were changed to “the minister wept and bowed with blood and bowed with him”, looking very miserable and pitiful.
The Marquis of the East Mansion felt that it was a bit too much, but the old mother wanted to modify it, so she had to copy it according to the manuscript revised by the ancestor.
The ancestor read it again, and after confirming it was correct, he gave it to the two sons, “Immediately send someone to send the self-defense memorial to the palace. Whether the matter can be settled quickly this time depends on whether the emperor has pity for you two uncles. “
Imperial Palace, Leopard Room.
Although Emperor Zhengde is famous for his perverse personality, he is meticulous in handling government affairs. No matter how wild he plays outside, he will never play it without finishing his political affairs every day.
Emperor Zhengde ascended the throne at the age of fifteen, and was constrained everywhere. He just ascended the throne and was given a “big gift” by his neighbor Tatar prince to harass the border, which is internal and external troubles.
Although Emperor Zhengde is young, he is very skilled. In the past five years of ascending the throne, he used Liu Jin to force away the stubborn old ministers of the previous dynasty and tame him. Now he is only twenty years old, he has taken over the power and is the only one. No one dares to challenge the emperor’s authority again.
Moved to the leopard house again, away from the harem, even if Empress Dowager Zhang wants to see him, it is even more impossible to urge him to have a son.
What should I have to give birth to a little puppet with better control?
Emperor Zhengde was enough puppet when he was the prince. After becoming the emperor, he was rebellious and perverted, and he would not do anything; he would not do anything if he wanted to do anything!
For example, if he had a son as an heir, he would not.
Forget it, the worst thing in this world is to be an emperor. I will suffer this, so my descendants will be spared!
Because I will not leave my descendants.
Emperor Zhengde looked at a memorial, which was the memorial that his uncle Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Shouning, requested 50,000 salt quotations.
The official shop in Zhangjiawan, Tongzhou was not enough to support my grandmother’s old age. Now I want salt and enticement again.
Emperor Zhengde frowned. The uncles were too greedy. The official fields, official shops, and salt and enticement would never be full…
I cannot satisfy my uncle’s request every time. Last time I asked for the official shop, Emperor Zhengde gave the two largest houses to my uncles. This time it was the eldest uncle Shouning Hou who asked for salt and enticement. 50,000 was not much, but when I gave it to my uncle, the second uncle would also ask. Will I give it to me? Then, Emperor Zhengde put the memorial of the eldest uncle Shouning Hou asking for salt and enticement aside.I agreed, but did not say I didn’t object, but I just “read”, which means I don’t give it.
Just after reading my uncle’s memorial, the eunuch Liu Jin, the chief of the seal of the Sili Supervisor, came, “Emperor, today something strange happened in Shuntian Prefecture. A man named Cao Zu beat the Dengwen drum and sued Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Shouning. The brothers of Zhang Yanling, the Marquis of Jianchang, secretly hid dragon robes and wanted to rebel. They also vomited blood on the spot and died. Before they died, they shouted for justice and said that the Zhang family would silence…”
After hearing the strange things Liu Jin said, even though Emperor Zhengde had a wide range of knowledge, he felt strange at this time. He understood very well what the two uncles were. He was a little greedy, but rebellion was absolutely impossible.
My uncle likes women and raises the outdoor room; my second uncle likes literati and holds literary meetings, but no one likes to date military generals or powerful officials who hold military power.
The literati rebelled for ten years. It is even more impossible for women to rebel! What kind of rebellion do you use hairpins, gold hairpins and rouge?
Emperor Zhengde said: “You check the case of Cao Zu to see who is making trouble behind the scenes. My two uncles are not good at it. It seems that someone has been targeted.”
