Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 417
Marquis of Jianchang?
Qin Shao was a little unresponsive.

It's not that he has a bad memory, he can't remember the officials and meritorious deeds of the court.

Because of the blessing of the system, he can say that he has an unforgettable memory.

As long as the people he has met and the names he has remembered, he will basically never forget them.

In other words, he felt that he was really sad!

Since I came to this world, I have been working hard every day. At first, I was fleeing from disasters. Later, I bought land for my family to settle down, did business, and made scientific research. Later, I encountered so many miscellaneous things, and I became the emperor in a daze.

It can be said that it was hard work, except during the escape and the scientific research, the ghost system appeared to show some skills, but now it is like a misfire, which has never appeared in the past few years!
Others have all kinds of help when they travel. His system is like waste material, so he has not thought of the so-called system problems for a long time.

"His Majesty!"

Queen Mother Zhang's mournful voice interrupted Qin Shao's wild thoughts.

He came back from the thoughts that drifted far away, and remembered that the thing to be solved now was to know who Jianchanghou was?
By the way, who is the Marquis of Jianchang?
Court officials have made many achievements, and some of them remember their names but cannot remember their so-called titles, namely Guo Xun and Xu Guangzuo. Qin Shao often only remembers their names but not their titles.

Fortunately, with his identity, it doesn't hurt to call them by their names.

"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Jianchang is Zhang Yanling, the Empress Dowager's second brother!"

Zhang Zuo was good at observing words and expressions, so he went directly to Qin Shao and whispered.

Forehead!
Qin Shao suddenly realized that it was Jianchang Hou who was Zhu Houzhao's unconscious uncle.

When Ming Xiaozong was alive, this guy was Xiaozong's brother-in-law because Xiaozong had few children. He was used to arrogance and did a lot of illegal things.

Zhu Houzhao hated this guy very much. I heard that he used to scare this guy with a knife by drinking, but after all, it was his uncle and Queen Mother Zhang was there, so he didn't go too far.

After Qin Shao ascended the throne, considering Zhu Houzhao's face, he also suppressed these two several times. The Zhang brothers restrained a lot, but they are used to being arrogant and domineering. It's just that this temperament will not change for a while. matter.

Of course, Qin Shao didn't like the Zhang brothers.

These dear ones who are unable to deal with too many things!If you have the ability to make some achievements, you also have the capital of arrogance!If you don’t have the ability, just be your rich man and you’ll be fine. You’re on the verge of death every day. Do you really feel like you’ve lived too long?

Compared with the Zhang brothers, Qin Shao now feels more and more that the Zhang family is hateful. It is unfortunate that there are stupid girls in the family. The Zhang family is a living example!
Although the Zhang brothers are perverted, they are not fools. Give them some education and education, and they will be much more honest. But every time they have just learned a lesson, Zhang will come out to defend him, and encourage his younger brother's arrogance everywhere, lest the two younger brothers Live too long!
"I don't know what the Marquis of Jianchang committed? The Shuntian Mansion will not take people at will for no reason!"

Qin Shao asked quietly.

"Your Majesty, it is natural that someone falsely accused the Marquis of Jianchang. Xu Fan, Yin of the Shuntian Mansion, did not investigate carefully, but directly took the Marquis of Jianchang into prison. Your Majesty, they are so bold! They don't take our royal family seriously at all! Your Majesty, Those people must be punished, as an example to others!"

Zhang said bitterly.

Because of hating and mourning, there are fine lines blooming on her face where the makeup is, showing her true age in her early fifties.

"Xu Fan in Shuntian Mansion has always been known for his fairness and strictness. If Marquis Jianchang was wronged, Xu Fan would naturally vindicate him and bring Gu Yan to justice for his false accusation! The common people are guilty of the same crime! The queen mother should also know that the new emperor has not been too long, so she should not be too special, and the queen mother should understand more... Tai. The old man has repeatedly stated that the harem should not be dictatorship. This is where I work. If the queen mother If there is nothing else, please go back first!"

Qin Shao said lightly.

When Queen Mother Zhang looked at Qin Shao with expectant eyes, she couldn't help shivering.

She remembered that in the early days, her elder brother Zhang Yanling came to see her in the palace and told her to take care of her younger brother Zhang Heling, but Zhang Heling would not listen to him.

Empress Dowager Zhang was a little impatient. She had two younger brothers, and the younger brother Zhang Heling was her favorite.

Compared with her son Zhu Houzhao, who was taken care of by a nanny and had to abide by many rules in the palace, in the eyes of Empress Dowager Zhang, her little brother Zhang Yanling was more like her own child.

She grew up watching Zhang Heling, who had a thick head and a thick brain, even though Zhang Heling is now a grandfather, he is considered a middle-aged and elderly person, but in her eyes, he is still a child.

Although Zhang Heling is arrogant outside, he is very good at acting coquettishly and speaking softly in front of his sister, Queen Mother Zhang.

Especially now, Empress Dowager Zhang's husband is gone, her son is gone, and her natal brother has become her only relative, and that kind of dependence and love has become even higher.

"Eldest sister, don't pamper me so much, the emperor has changed now, it's not the same as before, I'm worried that if we are too ostentatious, in the future..."

Zhang Yanling is a bit older than the old city, he doesn't say those heart-warming words too much, and he does things in a strict manner, which is not very popular with Queen Mother Zhang.

"Boss! You are too old-fashioned. You always look for things about your younger brother. Your father is gone. You are the eldest brother in the family. Naturally, you are too strict. He made a small mistake in the early years. You beat him to pieces, you don't look like an elder brother! Those who don't know think you are his enemy! Now that you have established your own family, you are also grandfathers. He doesn't care about your affairs, and you don't want to Leave him alone!"

Empress Dowager Zhang was very unhappy when she thought of how the older brother treated the younger brother harshly in the early years.

"Sister, it's different now! The new emperor ascended the throne, and he is not a good friend. Look at Yang Tinghe, a veteran of the two dynasties, when Zhao'er was there, he was so ruthlessly manipulated by that person. There was nothing he could do about it. When he came to power, he directly defeated Yang Tinghe, the Yiqi clan, not to mention Jiang Mian and Mao Cheng! Moreover, in recent days, more than half of the officials in the court have been replaced, and the methods are so severe that we have no choice but to..."

Zhang Yanling knew that her sister was impatient to listen to her, but after observing these days, the new emperor was indeed too difficult, definitely not someone who could be tolerated casually.

He is very worried that his family is too high-profile, once the new emperor is angered...

"So what if he is great? Isn't that the position that Zhao'er gave him? Don't forget that he can achieve this position today, but I, the queen mother, strongly recommend it! As for Yang Tinghe, it is a matter between men. He is a courtier. What does it have to do with us? We are members of the royal family, as long as I am the queen mother for a day, you can rest assured! If you have nothing to do, go back!"

Queen Mother Zhang said impatiently.

Zhang Yanling sighed deeply and left...

……

Qin Shao's voice was very cold and hard, with the calm and prestige of a superior.

Empress Dowager Zhang was stunned for a moment, unable to speak.

She was really a very smooth and lucky woman in the first half of her life.

Although the family is not considered rich, it is also a well-off family. Even though she is the eldest, the only daughter in the family is loved and loved.

Later, she was lucky enough to marry Ming Xiaozong.

Many women in the palace have to face the Sangong and Six Courtyards. Although it cannot be said that there are dozens of concubines, according to the situation of the Ming emperor, it is normal to have five or six women.

As a result, because of the shadow of a woman, Ming Xiaozong did not touch other women except her wife, and lived with her a monogamous life that is rarely seen in emperors in history.

Her simplicity and cuteness are quite cute in the eyes of Xiaozong who has experienced court intrigues, but this kind of cuteness is basically stupid and troublesome after the death of her husband.

However, because of her son Zhu Houzhao, Empress Dowager Zhang has been living leisurely.

It can be said that this woman is a woman who has never seen other people's life in a bad mood, and she is surrounded by amiable "good people"!
Now in front of the new emperor's awe-inspiring aura, she was stunned all of a sudden!
"If the queen mother has nothing to do, you can go back to rest first. This is my office, and there are still a lot of documents to be approved, so I won't entertain the queen mother! There is sandalwood sent from Nanyang in the warehouse. It tastes good. Zhang Zuo, go Bring the Queen Mother to fetch some!"

Qin Shao took a breath as much as possible and said.

It's just that there is a meaning of chasing guests everywhere in these words. This is where the emperor works, and the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. As long as Queen Mother Zhang is not so stupid as to be so stupid, she should be able to hear it.

"Queen, those sandalwoods are new products from Nanyang this year. I will take you to have a look. You can take whatever you like. This is the emperor's filial piety. I have always missed you!"

Zhang Zuo bent down and said in a low voice.

He glanced at an elderly nun next to Empress Dowager Zhang.

"Queen Mother, let's go and have a look! We happen to be running out of incense in the palace, the emperor is filial, so let's pick some!"

Seeing Zhang Zuo's eyes, the nanny quickly stepped forward to help Empress Dowager Zhang.

Empress Dowager Zhang shook the hand extended by the nanny, and walked out the door with a thud.

That footsteps, that speed, don't look like a man in his early fifties at all.

It's just that it's not very good-looking to be acting like a little girl at such an age.

Qin Shao shook his head, remembering that in the previous life, under the torture of Zhu Houcong, her two younger brothers hiccupped one by one, and she herself died of depression very quickly.

People's temperament is too straight, and they don't understand the world, and they don't understand the so-called "bend", so they can only bend quickly.

Qin Shao thinks about it, only Zhu Houcong's vicious character is the best, and she can kill people invisible.

That kind of method is actually not very clever, and he can do it!
Just think about Xiaozong, think about Zhu Houzhao, there is no need to care about such a woman!
It's just that a woman is a different creature from a man. If you overdo it, you will appear to be condescending, and you can't get along with a woman, but if you ignore her, she can sometimes do bad things.

Qin Shao thinks about it, and he has to use this matter to make the Zhang family calm down in the future.

There is also the matter of Zhang Heling, it should be that Zhang Cong and the others made a move and wanted to take someone to the knife, but Zhang Heling bumped into the knife edge!

This is also good, if the Zhang family's wings are cut off, the Zhang family may have a longer memory!
……

"Master! Master Zhang please see me!"

Qin Shao was about to pick up Wang Hung's notebook and study it.
Wang Yin came in from the outside. He had gone out to do some errands before, but now he just came back, and met Zhang Cong who was begging to see him.

"It's all our own people, just let them in!"

Qin Shao laughed.

Zhang Cong is now temporarily serving as Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Many people in the court saw his rocket-like rising speed and knew that he would definitely be the candidate for the first assistant of the cabinet in the future.

The new emperor has not yet fully formed a cabinet, but only divides his own people into six departments.

Zhang Cong was in the Ministry of Officials; Peng Ze was still the Minister of the Ministry of War; Yan Song was the Minister of the Ministry of Rites; Xia Yan was the Minister of the Ministry of Industry; Wang Qiong was the Minister of the Ministry of Households;

Zhao Jian was a person who had been Minister of the Ministry of Justice for 14 years in Zhengde, and Qin Shao didn't know much about him.

After getting to know him, I found out that this person is quite interesting!

Zhao Jian, born in Shandong, was a Jinshi at the age of 34 and served as magistrate of Xiaoshan County.

He is exquisite in all aspects, but powerful. When he was ordered to patrol Xuanda, the enemy invaded the country. Uncle Pingjiang and Chen Rui led his troops to resist, but he did not attack for a long time. He was afraid of losing the battle. back the enemy.

After the victory, Zhao Jian directly gave the main credit to Chen Rui, and Chen Rui cleared up the relationship and helped him be promoted to participate in politics in Zhejiang.

Later, in order to attack Chen Rui, Chen Rui's political opponents exposed Chen Rui as a false leader, and Zhao Jian became famous again.

Such a capable person naturally received the praise of Yang Tinghe and others. Zhao Jian was promoted by Yang Tinghe when he was able to achieve the post of Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment.

It's just that after he became a minister, he didn't get close to Yang Tinghe and others, he was always busy with his own errands, he seemed dull and unreasonable, Yang Tinghe was very helpless.

After Qin Shao learned about Zhao Jian's situation, he liked him very much. He is a talented person with great wisdom and foolishness, and can maintain neutrality in the court, which is absolutely what ordinary people can do!

Moreover, since he became Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he has tried and handled many cases, and made many suggestions for changes to criminal laws and regulations.

Even though more than half of the officials in the court had been changed, and the top positions were basically changed, Zhao Jian had never met Qin Shao alone, and expressed his gratitude to the new emperor for his appointment.

However, the more it was like this, the more Qin Shao liked it.

Naturally, it is best for the court to have a lot of people of its own, but what is needed more is people who are capable and really do things!
Of course, Qin Shao is still very satisfied with those of his own people currently appointed, and the new official will naturally do his best when he takes office.

Especially when Zhang Cong faced Qin Shao, he became more and more respectful. He used to have some human relations with people, but now he is less and less.

Some people who had a good relationship with Zhang Cong before wanted to use their relationship to cling to him, but Zhang Cong was very indifferent.

Although Xia Yan did his best, he still didn't get along very well with Zhang Cong.

The man knew that the two were at odds, and after meeting Zhang Cong's cold shoulder, he went to Xia Yan's side to speak ill of Zhang Cong.

"You don't have to be frightened, do you know why you have been getting worse and worse until now? You are too stupid. That Zhang Cong is clearly going to be a lonely minister, but you still can't see it. If you just move forward blindly, how could he recommend you? ?”

Xia Yan said harshly.

"Then Xia Shangshu can help recommend me..."

The man said with a sigh of relief.

"Of course not! Zhang Cong wants to be a lonely minister, and I, Xia Yan, also want to be a lonely minister. I am even more lonely than him, and I am devoted to your majesty. If you are really capable, you will go to your majesty to recommend yourself and solicit connections everywhere. It is an incompetent villain's behavior." !"

"you……"

……

"Bingyong, just come in if you have anything to do in the future, you don't have to wait outside!"

Qin Shao saw Zhang Cong coming in and knew that Zhang Zuo was not there, so he must have waited outside for a while.

"Yes!"

Zhang Cong bowed and said.

But that expression clearly just regarded Qin Shao's words just as polite.

"Your Majesty, I'm here this time to talk to Your Majesty about the Marquis of Jianchang!"

Zhang Cong sat down and said directly.

"Um, is it because the Marquis of Jianchang seized the land and was arrested by the Shuntian Mansion? If you want to take back those fields in the suburbs of Beijing, you should really start with him. After all, he occupies the most, and arresting him is also a way. Give him some punishment first. , Empress Dowager Zhang, don't worry!"

Qin Shao said lightly.

The imperial treasury is now empty, and a large number of fields in the suburbs of Beijing have been annexed and become the manors of the rich and powerful. If they want to return those lands, they must first kill the chickens to warn the monkeys. It is normal for Jianchanghou to act.

Zhang Cong came here this time, probably because he was worried that the Empress Dowager Zhang would make trouble, and it would be difficult for him to deal with it.

"Your Majesty! Shuntian Mansion's arrest of Marquis Jianchang was not ordered by the minister, Xu Fan arrested Marquis of Jianchang Zhang Heling because he killed his wife!"

"Marquis Jianchang killed his wife?"
