Brother Green hired someone to dig out the rat nest on the roof, but he didn't go back to the house to make up for sleep, so he went to a relative's house. At home, Liu's mother yawned and stood in the yard talking to her neighbor's sister-in-law, and Liu Zhi was also standing at the door of her house at that time.

I heard Liu's mother say: "Yesterday, I accompanied my wife back to her parents' house, she ate wine and played money until the second half of the night, and I couldn't sleep, so I held on until the third watch, and came home early in the morning." Alas, when the work is over, the sleepiness will probably pass. ”

Liu Zhi heard that in his stomach, at noon, he bumped into Liu Mao, who came back from beating the country's prison, and talked for a while, Liu Zhi couldn't help but teased again: "I'm so sleepy, I accompanied your daughter-in-law to have a good drink last night, and I was just about to fall asleep, who thought she would have to go home." ”

Liu Mao smiled, thinking that Madame's mother's house when she returned yesterday must have been seen by him when she returned this morning, so he deliberately made fun of me.

Liu Mao didn't pay attention to it at the time, and when he got home, he saw that Brother Green looked a little haggard, so he asked, "You haven't fallen asleep at night?" Such drowsiness and drowsiness. ”

Brother Green said, "Who is sleeping?" Last night, several people ate and drank together, and they didn't even close their eyes, so they went home and invited someone to catch mice, so they went to Lao Li's house to hide. ”

If you want to say that there is a reason why Liu Mao can't pass the exam, he is stupid to read the dead book, what kind of family is the Xu family? How can a man be allowed to go in and drink in the middle of the night? Not to mention Liu Zhi's nephew, even if Xu Wen and Xu Hai are other adult young masters, there are people in the house at night, and even if they go out, someone has to follow, of course, someone is an exception.

Besides, Brother Green is not a good person, but he has always obeyed the rules in the affairs of men and women. On weekdays, he is not that kind of person at all, and this Liu Mao didn't ask for details, he stepped forward and couldn't help but say, he trampled his wife over, punched and kicked her, and called her to confess.

Brother Green has been pampered since he was a child, who is not respectful after marrying the Liu family? Suddenly, she was beaten by her husband like this, and she lay on the ground and screamed loudly. Liu Mao was afraid that he would really be the king, and his shots became more and more ruthless, and he was about to die.

Liu Mao's mother rushed to shout: "Take the thief and take the stolen goods, and take the traitor and take the double." You have not caught her lonely old man. Beat and kill his daughter-in-law alive, this is to pay for his life. ”

Liu Mao stopped his fists and kicks at the moment, and told Fen Ming the words of Liu Zhi and Brother Lu, and Brother Green knew the reason. Angry crying.

Liu Mao's mother said: "Since there is evidence. Don't fight either. asked someone to call the Xu family, and the three to six faces were clearly distinguished, and his family had nothing to say. ”

Soon Xu Hai rushed to hear the news. As soon as I entered the door, I saw that my sister was beaten to three points like a person and seven points like a ghost, and the emperor howled loudly.

Liu Mao pointed at Xu Hai and scolded: "There is no shame in the dignified country, the young lady raises a man and steals people, this style is corrupt." ”

Xu Hai hurriedly smiled bitterly and asked the reason, others honestly had no idea, and hurriedly came back to tell his sister-in-law, Zhu Qiaoqiao was immediately furious, sent someone to call the woman in charge of the third room, and ordered her to invite Liu Zhi to come, closed the middle door at the moment, ambushed the female soldiers, and when Liu Zhi came in, the sticks flew together, and interrogated while hammering.

Liu Zhi knew his guilt, lay on the ground and protected his head and begged for mercy, and made the reason for the incident clear in 1510, Zhu Qiaoqiao ordered Xu Hai to escort him to Liu's house.

Hearing this, Xu Hao asked, "What happened later?" ”

Xu Hai said: "When the eldest brother heard it, he said that he was going to smash both of his families and beat Liu Mao half to death, so as to vent his evil anger for his sister." However, the sister-in-law disagreed, in the final analysis, it was the husband and wife, and it would be okay to make this kind of thing clear, if our family was an ordinary mother's family, it would be fine, and we couldn't be unforgiving, and hurt people, and the family was smashed, but the relationship between husband and wife was gone.

Later, when the confronting was clear, Liu Mao and her mother knew that they had blamed Brother Green, and came over together to kowtow to the third wife to make amends, and kowtow to the sister, and the third wife said a few words lightly, but Brother Green cried bitterly, clamoring to hang himself and wipe his neck, and he didn't eat, so his wife persuaded him to send him home. ”

Xu Hao said with a smile: "This business has to be done like this, no matter how rich our family is, we can't break the filth between husband and wife, although Brother Green has been greatly wronged, but her unforgiving temperament has to toss Liu Mao alive for ten days and half a month, and after a long time, this anger will almost disappear." If you really follow the words of the eldest brother to make a big fuss, the reason will become ignorance, and after the incident, Brother Green will have to resent his mother's family. ”

Xu Hai scratched his head and said, "I don't understand." ”

Xu Hao smiled: "Don't say you don't understand, I can't understand housework." ”

After that, Liu Mao and her mother took turns to guard day and night, and they paid all day and night, and Brother Green tossed for a whole month before he gradually turned around. Liu Mao also specially set up a table of banquets, and the two of them solemnly handed wine compensation to their daughter-in-law.

How to say that one is a husband and the other is a mother-in-law, both of whom are members of their own family, and Brother Green let go of this festival and chose to be patient. Strange to say, after being beaten, it made Brother Green look impressed by Si Swenwen's husband and think that he was a gentleman.

But after suffering such a big loss from his cousin Liu Zhi, Brother Green gritted his teeth with hatred, and began to think about finding an opportunity to take revenge.

Unless Xu Hao meets him in person, he rarely pays attention to similar family trivialities, to be honest, he knows that his personality is actually very similar to the boss Xu Wen, and he is too impulsive and desperate when encountering problems, which is far inferior to his sister-in-law and wife.

Now Zhu Qiaoqiao's interest has shifted from being in charge of the family to planning to run Dalian, just because the outside world is more exciting and there are more people in charge.

Xu Hao admitted that even if the brothers of the Xu family were put together, I am afraid that they would not be able to compare to the shrewdness and ability of the sister-in-law alone.

Now Xu Hao is pondering Daning's promise to Duo Yan Wei, and according to his original temper, he simply turned his face and didn't recognize people, and sent troops to kill Duo Yan Wei directly, but it is not advisable to kill blindly.

Through the disposal of his sister-in-law, Xu Hao decided to temporarily convince people with virtue, and the nearby pasture could be left for the Mongols to graze horses, but Daning City must set up an official government and garrison, and military households must be requisitioned along the way to build roads, and the migrating people will slowly assimilate the Mongols.

Speaking of migrating, people go to Chifeng and other places. To provide food and various materials, it was undoubtedly a heavy burden for the imperial court in the long run, and the Han people were good at farming, and they could not force the people to live by grazing. Think about it, who would be willing to settle in a place where the winter is extremely cold, deserted, and full of foreign races and dangers?

In the early years, King Ning and his wife were there, with 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers, and a steady stream of supplies from the Guannei, and the people did not have too many complaints.

Xu Hao fell into contemplation, and Zhu Di also repented in history. But because there is no feudal king to guard it. As a result, the morale of the people plummeted, and the angry Duoyan Sanwei attacked again and again, and there was no danger to defend, and finally the court had no choice but to give up.

A similar situation is also in the northwest. So Xu Hao prepared to ask the emperor to recommend Sheng Yong as the chief soldier of Daning. The garrison was eight thousand, half of which were musketeers. In the future, all of them will be replaced with firearms, so that they will not need to have a huge force of 30,000 or 40,000 at every turn, and 8,000 people will rely on a strong city. It was enough to deal with twenty or thirty thousand Mongol cavalry, and held out until reinforcements arrived.

In the Forbidden City, the Qianqing Palace was razed to the ground, and a third of the palace had been built in the same place, Zhu Gaochi temporarily lived in the Fengtian Palace, and sometimes lived in the Inner Palace, surrounded by soldiers from the 500 Shenji Battalion standing guard at any time.

Most of the palace people were released, and the scene at that time was still fresh in Xu Hao's memory, and the earth-shattering cry moved the people of the capital, even Zhu Gaochi was greatly touched, the young emperor still retained the heart of a child, not to mention that his original personality was relatively kind.

And the new palace maid can go home at the age of twenty-five, which makes the previously lifeless palace full of vitality, and everyone has a hope of living.

And the function of Jinyiwei is not only external, but under Xu Hao's operation, it began to be internal, so that the concubines can no longer kill the palace people casually, and any accidental death must be carefully examined, of course, the same is true of the palace in the past, unless it is a limited number of people such as the emperor who can kill people at will, after all, the emperor's family does not want to live in a ghost place that causes people all day long.

Therefore, the root cause is still in the emperor, otherwise why should the historical process limit the imperial power, establish a constitutional monarchy or simply abolish the imperial system, it is terrible to have no right to restrain it.

Outside the Fengtian Palace, the eunuchs Hou Xian, Yishuha, and Ma He all looked at Xu Hao with a resentful expression, and it was because of Xu Hao's suggestion that these three eunuchs with a strong professional enterprising spirit had recently become depressed.

After four years of the Battle of Jingyan, Yan Jun had a deep comradeship from top to bottom, Xu Hao stepped forward and said with a smile: "I said that eunuchs are not allowed to go out of Beijing, but I didn't say that you can't be an official." ”

Hou Xian said angrily: "That's not the same, eunuchs can't be officials." ”

Xu Hao smiled: "Why do you have to be attached to being a eunuch? Wouldn't it be good to resign as a chamberlain and become a new person as a foreign official? However, let's talk about the ugly things ahead, this is a temporary expedient measure, except for your group of people, the eunuchs who enter the palace in the future are absolutely not allowed to step out of the capital, and they will never allow the eunuchs to have anything to do with the palace, this is an iron law. ”

Hou Xianhe and Yisha immediately pondered, and Ma He said excitedly: "Is this true? Then I won't be a eunuch. ”

Xu Hao shook his head with a strange look and said, "You can't do it." ”

"You." Ma He smiled bitterly and arched his hand: "Grandpa Guo, you always raise your noble hand, I haven't offended you." ”

Xu Hao said: "I have one thing to entrust you to do, if it is done, I will definitely ensure that you go to Nanyang, and as a special case, you can go out of Beijing as a eunuch." ”

Who knew that Ma He turned around and left, Xu Hao shouted, "What's wrong?" ”

Ma He turned his head hatefully and said: "I have a premonition that it is definitely not a good thing, and I must go through nine deaths." ”

Xu Hao said with a smile: "That's right, but this move will also make you famous for future generations, and you will be admired by people all over the world for generations, and your name will go down through the ages." ”

Glancing at the Sanbao eunuch who frowned, he looked like a catastrophe was coming, Xu Hao smiled and said that when he went to explore North and South America, he really couldn't find a suitable person except for you!

It is necessary to have courage and a belly of knowledge, but also to have extraordinary courage and outstanding command, in short, the conditions in all aspects must be excellent enough, the best thing is that the eunuch can not have children, and basically will not have the ambition of treason and self-reliance, no wonder Zhu Di likes to reuse eunuchs to envoy foreign countries.

In the Fengtian Palace, Zhu Gaochi frowned and asked: "I have no opinion on reusing Sheng Yongzhen, the so-called use of people is not suspicious, but the musket is in the hands of the border army, if the first class falls out of the way or there are generals who are not subordinate, what should I do?" ”

Xu Hao said: "How easy it is for you to make a gunpowder musket? There is no supply of ammunition, it's just a bunch of iron rods. In fact, to put it bluntly, if the monarch is not benevolent, there will be people who rebel, and you can overthrow a dynasty with a knife and a gun, don't be suspicious and suspicious, as long as you can be diligent and love the people, who are afraid of not obeying? Not to mention the generals, whoever dares to rise up will be destroyed in less than two months. ”

Zhu Gaochi said angrily: "I'm the emperor now, don't be so big and small, okay?" Besides, I'm still your brother. ”

Xu Hao said disdainfully: "Then I'll kowtow to you?" Let's say it first, if you kowtow, you will be a courtier for life, and there will be no brothers from now on. ”

"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you, okay?" Zhu Gaochi felt extremely relaxed, putting aside the solemn and majestic style of being the emperor, it seemed that he had returned to the years when he was the son of the world, and he and Xu Hao laughed and scolded each other at every turn.

At this moment, Emperor Hongxi also looked disdainful, and the whole person became angry, and said angrily: "Kneel and fart, pretend not to know how to scold me in your heart, you kid has never regarded me as an emperor." ”

Xu Hao said with a smile: "This is true, being an emperor is the biggest drudgery in the world, it sounds good, but in fact it is just a bird in a cage, no wonder there have been so many emperors with strange tempers in the past dynasties, living in this boxy palace all their lives, even a man has to hold back his illness." ”

Zhu Gaochi said miraculously and proudly: "There are also people who dream of being emperors, I can leave the palace at any time, grandma's, but I have to deal with those damn courtiers." ”

"It's good to know the way, do you think the ministers are all muddy? Some people are eager to play death and achieve a reputation as loyal ministers. Xu Hao smiled and said: "Anyway, I don't want to have no brothers to do one day, so I will resign from all official positions by the way, restore the identity of a cloth cloth, and when my father is old, the title will be passed directly to my son." In this way, my majesty is at ease, and I am also at ease. ”

Zhu Gaochi's expression became solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "It's too naïve, as long as you can participate in state affairs, you will be the de facto Prime Minister of Buyi." ”

Xu Hao smiled and said, "Then it's better not to participate in state affairs, why not?" ”

Zhu Gaochi sighed: "No, you kid has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, you have to help me make a career." Let you go home and be leisurely, hugging the beauty left and right? I have to be tired and half dead, and I have to be laughed at by you for doing something wrong, is Lao Tzu so stupid? ”

Suddenly, Zhu Gaochi and Xu Hao laughed at the same time, but Xu Hao was sighing in his heart, who can really be brothers with the emperor? The one in front of him is definitely not good, even if he is a famous and straightforward Emperor Zhengde, before the age of thirty, it is almost the same. (To be continued......)
