As the first person to follow Zheng Tuoniang, of course the informant knows Zheng Tuoniang's thoughts.

Gu Long, a rogue writer in later generations, once said that there may be several women who don't eat in this world, but there is not even one woman who is not jealous.

In other words, jealousy and competition for favor are human nature, and they are unavoidable.

Zheng Toniang knows very well that no matter whether Yang Feng wants it or not, the backyard of the Marquis of Jiangning Mansion has now been faintly divided into two camps, one is the three Mongolian women led by Hai Lanzhu, and the other camp is her and the informant.

At first glance, there seems to be no contrast between the camps in this way, who are Hai Lanzhu and the three of them?

The three women are all from Mongolian nobles, and Hai Lanzhu, as the daughter of the leader of the Horqin tribe, has a noble status. Even if Zhezhe and Da Yu'er were once married, but their former identities were also queens and concubines of the Great Qing Kingdom, and their identities are simply the difference between a phoenix in the sky and an ant on the ground compared to Zheng Tuoniang, who was born in Qinhuaihe, and there is no comparison between the two sides at all.

But why are there still many people in the house who are willing to get close to Zheng Tuniang, the reason is very simple, that is, the three daughters of Hailanzhu are all Mongolians, and Zheng Tuniang and Xianniang are also Han women with bad backgrounds, not to mention that Zheng Tuniang was also a young lady from an official eunuch family before entering the dust.

Although Yang Feng also tried his best to avoid the phenomenon of wives and concubines competing for favor in his backyard, not to mention the human heart, even the gods couldn't control it.

Once a woman is pregnant, her emotions and thoughts will be more sensitive than before, Zheng Toniang's careful thinking also began to turn, when she was not pregnant before, she and the line mother and servant had to go all out to barely satisfy Yang Feng, but now without her own main force, she can't satisfy her freak with her small body anyway, so she hit the idea on Cai'er and Yue'er.

Cai'er and Yue'er were bought from the tooth store by Tuo Niang two years ago at a great price.,Originally, it was used as a substitute.,I didn't expect to use it now.,It's just a little regrettable that the two of them are still a little young.,If you can wait another year.,It's better to wait for her to train well.。

Of course, Yang Feng naturally didn't know about these things, and now he just arrived at the Yamen of the Ministry of War and met Cui Chengxiu, the secretary of the Ministry of War.

The name Cui Chengxiu, as long as anyone who knows a little bit of Ming history in later generations, knows that this is known as the head of the Five Tigers of the Eunuch Party and the number one thug of Wei Zhongxian.

Most of the historical evaluations of Cui Chengxiu are negative, and the history of the Ming Dynasty compiled by the Manchurians even says that this person loves money like life, and he frantically asked for bribes when he served as the governor of the imperial history. As long as the criminal gives him a bribe, he will be convicted of unjust, false and wrongly decided cases and released. The magistrates in Huaiyang, if they don't give bribes, they will all have bad reviews, and the magistrates can only pay bribes and spend money to buy praise.

The history of the Ming Dynasty belittled Cui Chengxiu to nothing, but careful people can find that although the history of the Ming Dynasty scolded Cui Chengxiu over and over again, there was actually only one crime, that is, greedy ink.

And this is more funny, because in the general environment at the end of the Ming Dynasty, if you want to find an official who is not greedy for ink, it is estimated that it is not much easier than looking for a needle in a haystack, because even those Donglin Party who claim to be the savior of the Ming Dynasty are scolding this today and impeaching that tomorrow, but secretly they are greedy for ink and silver will not be less than others, after all, there is only one official like Hai Rui in the entire Ming Dynasty.

Then the question arises, since everyone is corrupt, then why is Cui Chengxiu pressed to the ground and rubbed on the ground by those scholars for hundreds of years, the reason is very simple, who made him Wei Zhongxian's person.

Someone else said that Cui Chengxiu was born as a Jinshi, and it is not appropriate to be a good Qingliu official, but he wants to work for the eunuchs, isn't this cheap?

In fact, in Yang Feng's view, Cui Chengxiu's "anti-corruption" is not purely a corruption issue, but involves too many party contention factors. The Donglin Party acted too ideally, too radically and extremely, and pushed too many officials against themselves.

Even Xia Yunyi, who is a member of the Donglin Party, said that "the sages are not blameless" for the disaster of the eunuch party, and they "ridicule the high and neglect their merits, and their fame and position are suspicious and jealous", and all those who disagree with them must be expelled even if they are honest, and those who possess themselves must be accepted even if they are filthy. No matter how virtuous the leaders of the Donglin Party are, there are naturally many jealous people.

Cui Chengxiu is the best example, since the Donglin Party wants to cut off his career path, he doesn't want to go back to his hometown to farm, he naturally has to find another backer, so an originally quite capable official was pushed to the opposite side by them.

After he defected to the eunuch party, he persecuted the Donglin party, and history made a big joke here.

Knowing that Yang Feng was coming, Cui Chengxiu hurriedly came out of his office room to greet him: "The lower official has seen the Hou Ye, but I don't know that the Hou Ye is coming, and the lower official has not been able to go out to greet him and hope to forgive the sin!" ”

Born in 1584, Cui Chengxiu is forty-two years old this year, but on the surface he looks younger than his actual age, perhaps because of his better living conditions, now he has fair skin, a wisp of beard under his chin, and a kind smile, he looks like a charming middle-aged uncle.

Seeing Cui Chengxiu so polite, Yang Feng also smiled and said: "Master Cui is polite, but Ben Hou is a little presumptuous to come uninvited." ”

"Haha...... Master Hou, where is this, you are our Ming Dynasty's Optimus Jade Pillar Haijin Liang, and coming here today is enough to make the Yamen of the Ministry of War shine! ”

"Eh, Master Cui, don't say polite words too early, if you don't get it later, you'll scold your mother."

"Oh...... Then the lower official depends on how the Hou Ye makes the lower official scold his mother. ”

The two came to Cui Chengxiu's office room while greeting each other.

A large table made of pineapple wood, two high-backed chairs, a large bookcase full of books, a coffee table and a set of tea sets placed next to it, this is the furnishings of Cui Chengxiu's office room.

When Yang Feng saw such a decoration, his expression was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he smiled: "Master Cui is really thrifty." ”

Cui Chengxiu said bluntly: "Hou Ye has won the award, this is just the place where the lower officials work, maybe the lower officials will have to go elsewhere after a year and a half, even if the decoration is luxurious, it is useless, so the lower officials will never do too much decoration in the office, if the Hou Ye likes luxury, you might as well be a guest in the lower official snail house another day, and the lower officials will be dedicated to hospitality, so that the Hou Ye will return happy." ”

"Yo...... This guy is blunt enough. Yang Feng glanced at him unexpectedly, of course he understood the meaning of Cui Chengxiu's words.

This public place, even if I make it good, it's useless, and if I can't make it for a while, this is someone else's territory, so if you want to play, go to my house, and I guarantee that you will be happy and satisfied.

is worthy of being the head of the five tigers under the command of Gonggong Wei, and even winning over and corrupting people is so open-minded.
