"Uncle is talking about the "Jingchu Sui Shi Ji" by Zong Yan of the Southern Liang Dynasty?!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Gong excitedly asked Zhang Juzheng, his face full of joy.

"Yes, it is Zong Yan's "Jingchu Sui Shi Ji", but it is just a fragment." Zhang Juzheng nodded with a smile.

"Great kindness."

Gao Gong rubbed his hands excitedly, he had admired this book "Jingchu Sui Shi Ji" for a long time.

At this time, Zhang Juzheng seemed to have just noticed Manager Liu and the maids who were in a subtle confrontation. He took a quick glance and when he saw the pure and charming maids in the crowd, his eyes, which were as calm as an ancient well, couldn't help but ripple.

Hey, when did two maids with different characteristics enter the palace? One is like a deep valley orchid, and the other is like a dripping peony.

Food and sex are human nature.

Zhang Juzheng did not deny that he was lustful by nature, but he was a man who could accomplish great things, and he had always controlled his hobbies very well. Outside, Zhang Juzheng was always a modest gentleman who could remain calm when a woman's lap was offered; at home, he would indulge in such hobbies. As for the two maids, Li De, from Prince Yu's mansion, Zhang Juzheng was simply attracted to them as a man, just like two flowers in full bloom in the garden, attracting people's attention.

"What happened to them?"

Zhang Juzheng withdrew his gaze unnoticeably and asked casually.

Upon hearing this, Manager Liu took a step forward and was about to explain the general situation, but Gao Gong beat him to it.

"What is the dispute over silk and cloth? It's just a trivial matter among the servants, not worth mentioning. Your Highness Prince Yu is taking a lunch break now. Come on, Uncle, go to my place first, and we can talk about this book "Jingchu Sui Shi Ji"."

Gao Gong shook his head in disdain, walked up to Zhang Juzheng, put his arm around his shoulders, and invited Zhang Juzheng to his office to discuss "Jingchu Sui Shi Ji". He had been interested in this book for a long time, and he was so excited that he couldn't wait a moment.

"Brother Su Qing, be gentle, I will go with you..."

Zhang Juzheng was pushed forward by Gao Gong, his steps staggering a little, and he could not help but say with a wry smile.

"Haha, please, uncle."

Hearing Zhang Juzheng's agreement, Gao Gong smiled and let go of Zhang Juzheng, extending his hand as a gesture of invitation.

"Brother Su Qing, please."

Zhang Juzheng also extended his hand in courtesy, and then the two of them walked forward side by side.

Seeing the two people walking forward side by side, Zhu Ping'an smiled bitterly and followed slowly. Well, he was ignored again.

"Zhang Xiyue, Li Caifeng, who of you stole whose silk cloth? Tell me the truth. I can give you a lighter sentence because of your honesty. If you are stubborn and refuse to change your ways, I will find out. Humph..."

When Zhu Ping'an was slowly chasing Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, the voice of Manager Liu came from behind.

At first Zhu Ping'an didn't take it seriously.

However, after taking two steps forward, Zhu Ping'an suddenly stopped, and his whole body seemed to be stunned by a bolt of lightning.

who

What was the name that Manager Liu mentioned just now

Li Caifeng?!

Manager Li just called out Li Caifeng’s name!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It turns out that Li Caifeng is among these maids! ! ! ! ! ! !

I remembered that when the two maids were arguing just now, I vaguely heard the words "bricklayer" and "fleeing to the capital".

That’s right. That’s right.

It was undoubtedly Li Caifeng. Calculating the time, this was almost the time when Li Caifeng just entered Prince Yu's Mansion.

Zhu Ping'an's heart, which was calm without a ripple, suddenly began to surge with huge waves, one after another, connecting the sky and the earth, surging endlessly.

"Li Caifeng..."

Zhu Ping'an curled the corners of his mouth and silently repeated the name, the muscles on his face trembling with excitement.

Who is Li Caifeng? !

Li Caifeng was the future Empress Dowager Cisheng! She was the Imperial Noble Consort of Emperor Longqing (after Prince Yu ascended the throne, the reign was changed to Longqing, that is, Emperor Longqing) and the biological mother of Emperor Wanli.

According to historical and unofficial records, Queen Li's real name was Li Caifeng, a Han Chinese. Li Caifeng's father was named Li Wei, a local villager who worked as a bricklayer. The family was not wealthy. Especially after the local area suffered from insect and drought disasters, the Li family could not survive. In order to survive, Li's father took Li Caifeng and other family members away from home and fled to the capital. However, after arriving in the capital, the Li family, who had no property or job, also had a hard life.

When it rains, it leaks; when it rains, it leaks; when it ships are late, they encounter headwinds.

Life in the capital was difficult enough. Li Caifeng's mother became seriously ill due to overwork and uncertainty. Li's father put all his belongings together and only exchanged two pieces of money for Li Caifeng's mother's medicine, which was simply a drop in the bucket for her treatment. With nowhere else to go, Li's father heard that Prince Yu's mansion was recruiting servants. In desperation, Li's father had to sell Li Caifeng to Prince Yu's mansion to be a servant.

It has to be said that selling Li Caifeng to Prince Yu's Mansion was the best thing bricklayer Li Wei had ever done in his life, no doubt about it.

This action not only brought him wealth and glory in the future, but also made him a queen and an emperor.

After Li Caifeng entered Prince Yu's mansion, she quickly rose to prominence. She first became a maidservant of Princess Yu, then quickly became a personal maid, and then was taken into the room of the lustful Prince Yu. In the third year, she gave birth to Emperor Wanli Zhu Yijun, and was promoted from a maid to a talented person. In the fifth year, she gave birth to Prince Lu, and was soon promoted from a talented person to a concubine. When Prince Yu ascended the throne, Li Caifeng was named a noble concubine, second only to Empress Chen.

Emperor Longqing passed away six years after he ascended the throne. Li Caifeng was only 28 years old at the time, which was the most glorious age. She supported her ten-year-old son Zhu Yijun to ascend the throne and promoted Feng Bao to the position of internal prime minister in the inner court and Zhang Juzheng to the position of chief minister in the imperial court. She started the "Wanli New Deal" that promoted the revival of the Ming Dynasty, which brought new vitality to the already dying Ming Dynasty. She became one of the famous empresses in history. Of course, the unofficial history records more about the little stories between Empress Li Caifeng and Zhang Juzheng...

Calculate the time

Li Caifeng entered Prince Yu's mansion at the age of fifteen, which was this year. It seems that this palace maid named Li Caifeng must be the Empress Li in history. Haha, I didn't expect that I would run into Empress Li who had just entered Prince Yu's mansion.

What was even more unexpected was that Empress Li would encounter such a disaster as soon as she entered Prince Yu's Mansion.

Stealing silk cloth!

This crime is too heavy a burden for a maid in Prince Yu's mansion to bear.

It is better to provide timely help than to add icing on the cake.

This is truly a godsend.

hehe

It seems that I have to help Manager Li solve the case.

Zhu Ping'an suppressed the excitement in his heart, took several deep breaths, and calmed the huge waves in his heart, making it as calm as water again. Then he tried hard to control the expression on his face and returned to his usual nonchalant appearance.

Turn around

Smiling, he walked towards Manager Li.
