August 29th, the seventh day of the Daxing Emperor’s first year. The Ming Dynasty named the Daxing Emperor's temple Xianzong.
According to the posthumous law, those who are capable of civil and military affairs are called Xian, those who are capable of criminal and political affairs are called Xian, and those who are knowledgeable and capable are called Xian.
Zhu Youtang used the word "Xian" to seal the coffin of his father's life.
The sixth day of September, the twenty-seventh day of Xianzong. Crown Prince Zhu Youtang ascended the throne and was named "Hongzhi", with next year being the first year of Hongzhi. The new emperor was Emperor Hongzhi.
On September 19th, Emperor Hongzhi gave the posthumous title of Xianzong "Emperor Jitian Ningdaocheng Mingren revered Wensuwu Hongde Shengxiaochun". Buried in Maoling.
On the ninth day of October, the Empress Dowager Zhou is honored as the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Wang is the Empress Dowager.
On the tenth day of October, Crown Princess Zhang was made queen.
On October 26, her birth mother Ji Shufei was posthumously named Empress Dowager Xiaomu.
From the death of Xianzong on August 22nd to October 26th. Chang Feng was idle for two months.
He does three things at home every day. Eat, sleep, and play Xiaoyan.
Although the new emperor is mourning, ministers should abstain from sexual intercourse. But who has the leisure to lift the covers of newlyweds to see if they are sleeping seriously or not?
Chang Feng was left idle simply because Emperor Hongzhi forgot about him.
Even if he was promoted to the rank of Jinyiwei Qianhu, he would still be just a minor figure in the court.
When Emperor Hongzhi ascended the throne for the first time, things were complicated. How can I take care of a little Changfeng.
At noon on the second day after Emperor Hongzhi named his biological mother the Empress Dowager. Fatty Xu came to Chang Mansion.
Chang Feng was chatting with Liu Xiaoyan in the bedroom, preparing to do some nice things and then take a nap.
It would be an understatement to say that a twenty-one-year-old newlywed couple is inseparable. Doing afternoon exercises is very common.
About to enter port. Chang Feng heard Fatty Xu's angry voice: "It's clear and sunny, hide in the bedroom and don't come out. Promiscuity in the daytime can be harmful to your body!"
"I go to Yihong Mansion at night! I turn on the lights before I go to bed!"
Chang Feng hurriedly tidied his clothes.
Liu Xiaoyan was a little displeased: "Can you talk to your friends? Go into the house and let the servants know. Don't go straight to the bedroom. Don't yell or talk nonsense."
Chang Feng said: "He is not a friend, he is my brother. He has shared life and death with me several times."
After speaking, Chang Feng came to the courtyard.
I saw Fatty Xu put on a flying fish suit, with an embroidered spring knife on his waist.
Chang Feng looked surprised: "Are you promoted too?"
Fatty Xu smiled and said, "I'm ashamed. I was promoted to Deputy Qianhu. Commander Zhu asked me to continue to be your deputy."
"This is all thanks to you leading me to save his old man when the emperor was hiding in the dragon's nest last fall. Otherwise, how could I have been promoted to three levels in a row?"
There is a shortcut to promotion in all dynasties: choose sides when a dynasty change is imminent.
Chang Feng stood in the right place, and his brothers also benefited from it.
Fatty Xu asked, "Have you finished with my sister-in-law? When you're done, go to Jinyiwei for your errand. Commander Zhu said that he has a big errand for you to handle."
As soon as Fatty Xu finished speaking, a feather shuttlecock flew out of the bedroom and hit his big head.
Fatty Xu was in pain: "Stop, slap. I said the wrong thing. My sister-in-law is like my mother. I shouldn't be disrespectful and talk nonsense in front of my sister-in-law."
Chang Feng was confused: "A big errand?"
Chang Feng thought of something.
The official wives of Ming officials followed their husbands' rank.
This morning, the ladies of the first and second rank in Beijing, Shuren of the third rank, and Gongren of the fourth rank went to Kunning Palace to meet Empress Zhang.
Empress Zhang specially asked the eunuch Li Guang to send a message and made an exception to allow Liu Xiaoyan, who was only a fifth-grade imperial edict, to go with her.
Liu Xiaoyan entered the palace and learned a piece of news. The emperor has just posthumously named his biological mother Ji as the Queen Mother.
Chang Feng thought to himself: Yesterday the emperor chased his biological mother. Is there a big errand in Jinyiwei today? Could it be to investigate the cause of Queen Mother Ji's death?
Oh, everyone in the government and the public knows that Empress Dowager Ji died at the hands of Concubine Wan Gui. The three Wan brothers and Shang Ming are inevitably involved!
This is the first job I, Chang Feng, have done since the new emperor ascended the throne. It must be done beautifully.
Thinking of this, Chang Feng said: "Let's go! Go on an errand!"
Fatty Xu pointed at Chang Feng's waist.
Hanging on Chang Feng's belt was one of Liu Xiaoyan's socks.
Chang Feng said quickly: "I'm going to change into Feiyu clothes. Wait a moment."
Half an hour later, the two came to the Jinyiwei commander's room.
The newly appointed governors of the Southern and Northern Divisions, eight thousand households and sixteen deputy thousand households, lined up, waiting to be summoned by the commander Zhu Ji alone.
Chang Feng has the lowest qualifications among the 8,000 households in Jinyiwei. Ranked tenth.
After waiting for almost an hour, Zhu Ji's personal attendant Zhang Yue from the 100th household came out of the duty room and shouted: "Qianhu Changfeng and deputy 100th household Xu Guangzuo entered the duty room together."
The two came to the commander's duty room.
Zhu Ji raised his head and glanced at the two of them: "Chang Feng, from now on you will still be in charge of confiscating homes."
"When a new dynasty is established, it is natural to investigate the evil spirits of the old dynasty. The matter of confiscating homes is extremely important."
"I have decided to set up a Thousand Household Inspection Office under Fusi in Beizhen Town with a staff of 600. It will be responsible for searching homes."
"The Qianhu Inspection Station will be under your control from now on. Xu Guangzuo will be your deputy."
"In addition, you can make the final decision on the appointment and dismissal of those under 100 households who have been tested for 1,000 households."
Chang Feng handed over his hand: "I will do my best to live up to the trust of the commander."
Zhu Ji said coldly: "That's wrong. I want to live up to the emperor's trust. You have to rely on me. It's not a good thing for young people to be promoted too quickly. I will let you be a hundred households at most."
"By the way. Your immediate superior is Sun Luan, the new envoy of Beizhen. If you have any questions in the future, please come to him. Please don't come in and out of the room at will, as it is against the rules."
Chang Feng couldn't figure out why Zhu Ji's attitude towards him was so cold.
We were all little grasshoppers tied to a rope.
Could it be that Zhu Ji wanted to establish his official authority when he took office?
Chang Feng cupped his hands and said, "Yes."
Zhu Ji added: "I have a big errand for you to handle right now. You lead three hundred people to surround Wan Mansion and put the three Wan family brothers under house arrest first."
"Jia Tie, you go find Sun Luan Kai."
Chang Feng took his life and felt a little disappointed.
Originally, he was thinking that the so-called "big errand" was that the emperor asked him to take the lead in investigating the cause of Queen Mother Ji's death and bring the murderer to justice.
Never thought that it would be such a small job as leading people to surround the house and put him under house arrest.
Chang Feng is worth the room. First, he found Sun Luan, the governor of Beizhen.
Sun Luan, forty years old. He is an older version of Chang Feng.
Sun Luan was the concubine and grandson of Sun Jizong, the Marquis of Huichang. Both generations were "concubines", so he was destined to miss the title.
Moreover, his biological mother was not even a concubine, but just a maid. Commonly known as "Ya Ting's", that is, the father had a girl's child on a whim.
In the clan, he is quite coldly regarded because of his status as "Ya Ting".
During the 20 years since he joined the army, Sun Luan has been obsessed with climbing up, wanting to get ahead, and wanting to get rid of his humble origins.
Five years ago, he followed the right person, Zhu Ji.
Although in the past five years, he has never known that the tasks Zhu Ji asked him to do were to protect the crown prince Zhu Youtang.
But after all, I followed the right boss. The boss’s boss became emperor. Sun Luan also became prosperous. He was promoted from deputy Qianhu to governor of Beizhen.
Chang Feng raised his hand towards Sun Luan: "Sun Zhenfu Envoy. My subordinate Chang Feng, please give me your advice in the future."
Sun Luan's temperament is very similar to Chang Feng. He is always kind to the people below: "I don't want to give advice. We are just in the same boat."
"The commander has given the explanation. I will give you a driving sticker right now."
