After leaving the palace, Chen Ying didn't even have time to change his clothes. He took the carriage directly to Laosan's mansion.
He had to know about such a big event early, otherwise, his heart would not be able to calm down for a moment.
Xicheng, Chen Mansion.
Chen Ying got off the carriage and walked straight inside.
When the guard's servant saw the second master coming, he hurried in to report to the housekeeper, and then enthusiastically greeted his second master and walked towards the central hall.
Chen Jing's home was one of the best in Xicheng, a city full of nobles. It was a big house with three entrances and three exits, and Chen Jing's life was extremely luxurious. At Chen Jing's level, if there were no Chen Ying, it would be the same in the capital. It's hard to live in such a big house and live such a life.
If an out-of-town commander purchases such a large house in Beijing, the censors can use it to impeach you.
However, with Chen Ying standing there, the censors also had to think about it.
Looking at the problem from a modern perspective and incorporating the power-containing formulas created by great sages of later generations, it is not difficult to see the double standards of the censors.
Chen Jing was born into a family of founding nobles. He was a good general for three generations. His grandfather succeeded in choosing a side. He first followed Chang Yuchun, and then followed Zhu Di. He became the Duke of Conglong, and his title was also from the founding of the country. The earl during the period became the marquis after the Jingnan period.
Now the second brother Chen Jing is the Commander-in-Chief of the Central Military Governor's Office, in charge of military orders across the country. He is similar to the current deputy of the eldest brother in the army. He is also a local official with real power. His power level is unmatched by many people in the entire Ming Dynasty.
This is much higher than Wanliu Academy...
Chen Jing was on duty in Guangxi, and his wife passed away early. The person in charge of the house was still an old servant who came out of the Taining Houfu.
When the old servant heard the servant say that the second master was here, he came to the central hall in a panic. M.biQuge.biZ
At this time, Chen Ying had already sat down to drink tea.
"Master Guo, you are here. I would like to express my thanks to the Marquis, no, to the Duke..."
Although Chen Ying had just been granted the title today, this old slave also knew about it.
Most of the servants in the Chen Mansion came from the Taining Hou Mansion. Of course, they would know about such a big happy event as soon as possible.
Chen Ying waved his hand.
"Let me ask you something, how old is Chen Jing's youngest daughter in the family, and who is her mother?"
After the housekeeper heard this, he was stunned for a moment.
The second master, wearing a python robe and jade belt, came here in a panic, just asking about such a thing.
"My lord, the youngest daughter of the third master is called Chen Yunduo. She should be eleven years old this year. His mother was bought by the third master from Nanjiaofang in the first year of Chenghua. At the beginning, she seemed to be using the same The second master’s name…”
"It's inconvenient for me to write to Chen Jing. You can write to Chen Jing today and set off today to ask him to return to the capital as soon as possible. He will hire this woman as his head wife and declare to the outside world that he will be his wife again. He will also make great arrangements to make everyone happy. Everyone in the court, civil and military knows about this.”
After listening to this, the housekeeper hurriedly said: "Second Master, Third Master must not be willing. After so many years, Third Master has never had the idea of renewing his relationship. What's more, this woman was bought in Nanjing Nanjiofang. , if she is established as the head wife and the news spreads, it will also have an impact on you, the Duke of the country, and the third master will not be able to hold his head up when he is out."
Chen Ying glanced at the housekeeper.
"This is no longer a matter of whether Chen Jing is willing or not. His Majesty has granted a marriage. Chen Yunduo is going to marry into the Tian family. If before the marriage, his mother cannot enter the family clan and has no status, it will be a huge sin. …”
After listening to Chen Ying's words, the old housekeeper stood stunned on the spot.
The royal family grants marriage, isn't it right? Will the royal family allow such a woman to marry into the royal family?
While the old housekeeper was in a daze, Chen Ying urged again: "You, go and call Chen Yunduo. I want to tell you something."
After hearing what Chen Ying said, the old housekeeper also regained his composure. He immediately sent someone to call for someone, while he stayed in the lobby to pour tea and water for Chen Ying.
For Chen Ying, the purpose of Zhu Jianshen's marriage grant was very obvious and it was also a sign of favor, but today he revealed this matter early. Although his words don't care about his identity and origin, his ministers still care about him.
Chen Ying didn't want to know who Chen Yunduo's mother and father were and what crimes they had committed.
But because her daughter was going to marry the future prince, she had to give her a legitimate identity. Only in this way could she take care of the Tian family's face as much as possible.
As for the rumors that followed, Chen Ying had no worries at all.
Who dares to spread rumors and gossip about the marriage of His Majesty the Emperor's younger brother, the Prince?
After a while, a timid girl appeared in front of Chen Ying.
The clothes he wore were not fine silk, but they were extremely clean.
Now only eleven years old, he is relatively thin and has inherited Chen Jing's big eyes and his mother's beauty.
Chen Jing has many children, including seven or eight sons and six or seven daughters. Even the youngest daughter is not taken seriously at all, which also leads to Chen Yunduo's character being relatively cowardly.
She did not dare to see her uncle.
She has never met Chen Ying.
He just lowered his head and stood in the middle of the lobby. After saluting, he never dared to say another word...
Deep in the palace.
Zhang Bao walked into the Palace of Peace with Cheng En, who had just recovered from a serious illness.
He took action personally to resolve Wang Zhi's matter.
At this time, Wang Zhi had long been deceived out of the Anxi Palace, and was tied up and taken to the Rice Noodles and Oil Bureau in the front palace to arrange for odd jobs.
When Yang Yu'er saw Zhang Bao in the palace, she knew that she could no longer protect Wang Zhi.
Of course, Yang Yu'er was also very puzzled. How could Wang Zhi attract Zhang Bao's attention? He personally took care of such a trivial matter. At this time, Yang Yu'er didn't know yet that Wang Zhi had been taken away.
"Eunuch Zhang, are you here with the same purpose as Eunuch Chengen?"
"Your Majesty, this is exactly the purpose."
Yang Yu'er looked at Zhang Bao's old-fashioned face, but still didn't have the courage to say any harsh words.
"Why, how could a young eunuch bother Eunuch Zhang to come in person? Is it not allowed for the eldest prince to have a playmate?"
"No, only Wang Zhi can't do it."
"Why? Is it because the Imperial Supervisor Shang Ming doesn't get along with Eunuch Zhang?"
A few days ago, after Chengen left, Yang Yuer also asked Wang Zhi how he had offended Chengen.
Wang Zhi never dreamed that the person behind the scenes was Zhang Bao. After thinking about it, he revealed his life experience and his relationship with the imperial eunuch Shang Ming's grandson.
From Wang Zhi's point of view, it was impossible for him to offend a big shot like Cheng'en, only his godfather had offended Cheng'en...
"No, because when I saw Wang Zhi, I thought of Wang Zhen. This son cannot stay with the eldest prince, and it is also for the eldest prince's sake."
"Huh, I really have to thank Eunuch Zhang. The eldest prince will also be grateful to Eunuch Zhang in the future..."
"Your Majesty, you don't have to say such angry words. I'm over seventy, my slave. There are some things that I can see very clearly and I will never miss them..." Zhang Bao said calmly.
After Yang Yu'er heard this, she paused for a long time, then sighed, looked at the maid beside her and said, "Go and call Wang Zhi and let him go with Eunuch Zhang..."
She still didn't have the courage to go against Zhang Bao...
"No need, before I see the empress, my slave, I have already sent someone to bring Wang Zhi to the front palace. As for Cheng En, I have also transferred two eunuchs to replace Wang Zhi and serve the eldest prince..."
After listening to Zhang Bao's words, Yang Yu'er could no longer control her anger and called him by name: "Zhang Bao, how dare you act like this..."
She is already Concubine An, who was canonized by His Majesty when the Empress Dowager was still alive. She has the eldest prince at her knees. Even though she has always been low-key and seems to be very timid, after being the master for several years, she is still Have some spirit.
