Chapter 104: Forgetting the Ancestors

The news that Emperor Chongzhen invited Zhou Shixiong to the banquet quickly spread among the top leaders. The civil servant group naturally hated him, but he could not say that there was anything wrong with Emperor Chongzhen doing this. The emperor's family affairs must be avoided, and civil officials were not qualified to speak out.

The nobles and military officials gathered at Zhang Weixian's British Duke's Mansion. Their idea was very simple, and they had to protect Zhou Shixiong no matter what. Because the improvement of the status of military personnel advocated by Zhou Shixiong was directly related to their fundamental interests. If the advocate was suppressed by the civil servant group, the benefits of the hands would disappear, and even the situation was worse than before. The nobles and military officials had long experienced the methods of civil servants. What they were best at was to beat the dogs in the water and would never let go of their opponents who were in a ruthless manner.[]

Zhang Weixian summoned so many honors in Beijing, and in addition to reiterating the idea of ​​unifying thoughts and concentrating their efforts to resist the civil servant group, he also had to make some facts to reverse the adverse situation. The breakthrough he chose was Chen Guangyu, the Marquis of Ningyang, who was the clan.

Chen Guangyu was in his thirties and had only nine years of succession to his father's title. Among the nobles, he was only a minor. British Duke Zhang Weixian sent someone to invite him to pass the mansion. Chen Guangyu knew that there was trouble and dared not refuse. He followed the British Duke's housekeeper into the main hall. When he saw the housekeeper in the room, Chen Guangyu complained in his heart, "This is a three-court trial!"

"My nephew Chen Guangyu pays his respects to the British Duke." Chen Guangyu bowed and greeted Zhang Weixian, who was sitting in the middle with a gentleman's greeting, and then stood beside him waiting for the British Duke to attack.

"I am very honored to be here by the Marquis of Ningyang. I am here to serve the Marquis of Ningyang." Zhang Weixian teased coldly, and the expression really makes him unable to connect with what he said.

"My grandfather is ashamed of my nephew. Just stand, just stand." This warning was not beyond Chen Guangyu's expectations. Since he couldn't show off, let's pretend to be the grandson.

Zhang Weixian could show Chen Guangyu, but he could not order Chen Guangyu to do what he wanted, just like he did to ordinary nobles. One of the reasons was that Chen Guangyu's ancestor Chen Mao was a minister of Jinghan and was granted the title of Ningyang Bo for military purposes. Later, he relied on his unparalleled merits such as the suppression of rebellion and destroying Yuan and other unparalleled merits. After his death, he was posthumously awarded Duke Jun. Chen Mao's legendary life not only created the honor and favor of Ningyang Hou Mansion that lasted for two hundred years, but countless generals in the army were promoted and used by him. After two hundred years of operation, Zhang Weixian of Dalian dared not underestimate his potential.

The second point is that although Chen Guangyu inherited the title of Martial Arts, his son was fond of literature and martial arts since childhood. His father Chen Yingzhao asked famous teachers to teach them carefully. Although the nobles were not allowed to take the scientific examination, Chen Guangyu did not have the opportunity to show his talent in the Four Books and Five Classics. However, after he inherited the title of Marquis of Ningyang, he vigorously recruited famous scholars to give lectures in the mansion, making the Marquis of Ningyang the second place of scholars in the capital. The first is of course the Imperial College.

Chen Guangyu never thought that the Marquis of Ningyang was a title of Martial God, and his ultimate goal was to become a master of the literary world of the Ming Dynasty. Zhou Shixiong, who dared to challenge the Confucian taboo of literary nobles and martial arts, would have to beat him up and step on ten thousand feet to prevent him from turning over forever.

"Marquis of Ningyang, you must not forget your roots. Have you only learned how to forget your ancestors after reading the words of saints for so many years?" asked Gu Zhaoji, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, in a deep voice. He said this so cruelly, and the expression on Chen Guangyu's face disappeared. The qualifications of Zhenyuan Marquis' Mansion were longer than those of Ningyang Marquis, and he was the legacy of Gu Cheng, the founding hero. Gu Zhaoji was about the same age as Chen Guangyu, and he had the reputation of the Gu family's Qilin son since he was a child. He was just the opposite of Chen Guangyu, and he was very fond of martial arts and literature. After completing the enlightenment education, he refused to enter the school again. He was full of interest in marching, fighting, archery, horses, swords and guns. After inheriting the Marquis of Zhenyuan ten years ago, he made friends with masters of martial arts masters and turned Zhenyuan Marquis' Mansion into the first martial arts hall in the capital. Well, he did not charge any fees.

"Marquis Zhenyuan should not slander people. Although this marquis does not like the movements of villains, he cannot let others slander them." Although the marquis in the room are not illiterate, they do not understand what the movements of villains are. They probably understand that he is cursing.

Gu Zhaoji stood up and walked to Chen Guangyu, "I'm slandering? Then let me ask you, the leader of Qingliu, have you said this to Wengui and Wujian?"

All the people in the Ming Dynasty said this, and it was already the consensus of everyone in the Ming Dynasty. How could Chen Guangyu never say it all day long in the circle of literati? But he heard that Gu Zhaoji wanted to make an article on this sentence, so he just nodded and didn't answer.

Gu Zhaoji smiled coldly, "It's fine if you said it, then I'll ask you, was the first generation of Ningyuan Hou a civil servant or a military general!"

Chen Guangyu looked at Gu Zhaoji with a blue face, unable to say a word. He knew that no matter how he argued, he would definitely wear the hat of forgetting his ancestors!

Gu Zhaoji did not intend to let him go, and continued, "From Duke Mao, the seventh generation of Ningyuan Marquis served as generals of the Western Expedition, the former governor, the central governor, the left governor, and the right governor. Last year, you also took over as the left governor of the Five Army Governor's Office. May I ask, are you a bitch?"

Chen Guangyu's face turned from blue to red. He never thought that this idle position would also include himself in the ranks of martial artists. Gu Zhaoji called him a bitch with justification and evidence!

"Don't tell me that the clan's lord is a civil servant, and the governor of the Zuofu is a part-time job. If you are still clear-headed, think about the request of serving as the clan's lord before speaking." Gu Zhaoji saw Chen Guangyu want to refute, so he blocked his words first and let him think it through before speaking.

Could it be that this sect's sect has a trap? Chen Guangyu was so shocked that he lost confidence. He rubbed his head and thought desperately that he would have any special requirements for serving as a sect's sect's sect. Zhang Weixian couldn't help but speak, "The sect's sect must be the chief minister of honor and relatives. Your left army governor of the Wujun Governor's Office is the main position."

With a bang, Chen Guangyu's mind seemed to be blown up by the red cannon. His clan ruler was a errand brought by his successor, Marquis of Ningyang. The Left Army Governor of the Five Army Governor's Office was only last year. The two positions were held in eight years apart. It was not surprising that the position of the main and second-level were confused. This cannot be blamed! The more Chen Guangyu thought about it, his mind became more and more messed up. He fell to the ground with a plop, muttering a word, "I am a bitch, I am a bitch."

"Come to the imperial doctor quickly." Zhang Weixian didn't expect things to turn out like this, so he quickly called the butler to ask for a doctor.

"It's not my business." Gu Zhaoji just looked at the nerd Chen Guangyu and didn't think about how he would do it. This time he cursed him, and he also made people wrong. Gu Zhaoji couldn't help but comfort himself in a low voice.

The British Duke asked for the imperial doctor, and the person who had the accident was the clan of the clan, the Marquis of Ningyang. The director of the Imperial Hospital came to the hospital in person. "Duke, the Marquis of Ningyang may not be cured." The Imperial Doctor Zhu put down Chen Guangyu's wrist and said to Zhang Weixian who was sitting aside.

"Doctor Zhu, you are always the number one doctor in the capital. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the number one doctor in the world. The illness of Ningyang Marquis can only rely on you." Zhang Weixian cannot let Chen Guangyu get into trouble, otherwise he will definitely become the second main target of the Wenchen Group's attack. The Wenchen Group does not have to participate in him. Just force him to leave behind the door and thank guests, and the Wuchen Group will lose half of its combat power.

Doctor Zhu quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't say anything lightly. There is at least one person in the capital who is more skilled in medical skills than Lao Chen. I am like the same as Haoyue Fluorescence. If the Duke can invite this person to take action, I will definitely cure the disease if I dare to guarantee it."

Zhang Weixian thought about it and didn’t hear that another famous doctor appeared in the capital. Who was Dr. Zhu talking about? “Old doctor, forgive Zhang for being ignorant. Who is the famous doctor you are talking about?”

"This man must know Zhou Shixiong, the Duke of Zhennan." The Imperial Doctor Zhu likes to betray Zhou Shixiong very much. As long as he gets the chance, he will definitely come like this. "Ah! It's him?"

Zhou Shixiong had lunch in Kunning Palace and was having a physical examination for the prince and princess. Two little guys were lying in a big shaking car and looked at Zhou Shixiong curiously. Zhou Shixiong was more interested in the princess. If he was right, the little girl shouting fingers was the legendary one-armed master, Princess Changping. However, Zhou Shixiong found that the little girl was not in good health. If she didn't take care of her carefully, she would easily get sick. Could it be that she learned martial arts because of her poor physique?

"It's very healthy. If you continue to follow the baby care manual I wrote, they will be very healthy." Zhou Shixiong always had to do something after eating a meal, and it took only a few minutes to regulate the stomach of the two little guys.

"Long live, British Duke Zhang Weixian asked for a meeting." Tu Wenfu ran in and reported to Emperor Chongzhen that although Zhang Weixian was the first nobleman, he was not qualified to enter the inner palace.

"What's the matter?" Emperor Chongzhen rarely enjoyed family happiness and had no good expression on the people who came to disturb him. Tu Wenfu quickly said what Zhang Weixian said. Emperor Chongzhen looked at Zhou Shixiong, "Ziqi, what do you think?"

"Let me save this sect? It seems that he has scolded me!" Zhou Shixiong admired the idea of ​​villain taking revenge from morning to night. Chen Guangyu took the lead in causing trouble for himself and curing him? He was not interested.

"Ziqi, this person fell ill in the Duke of England's Mansion, and all the officials present were nobles and military officials. If you don't save him and let him die in the Duke of England's Mansion, those civil officials would probably be happier." Emperor Chongzhen quickly figured out why Zhang Weixian came to ask for help. He asked Zhou Shixiong to save the person, but in fact he was saving himself. The incident happened at his Duke's Mansion. Whether Chen Guangyu was sick or other reasons, Zhang Weixian couldn't explain it clearly.

"Okay, I'll give the emperor a preceptor to this matter, but if others come to disturb me, I hope the emperor can help me block it. Anyway, I'm also a great scholar, not a doctor." Is it valuable to move his scholar out again? Emperor Chongzhen and Empress Zhou smiled at each other. This Zhou Ziqi is really interesting.

Following Tu Wenfu to the Xuanwu Gate, the back gate of the Forbidden City, Zhang Weixian was waiting anxiously. When he saw Zhou Shixiong, he hurriedly bowed and said, "I'll ask Lord Zhou for everything." Doctor Zhu strongly recommended Zhou Shixiong and pushed the trouble to Zhou Shixiong. It was not to harm Zhou Shixiong, but to be kind. Chen Guangyu's disease, Doctor Zhu could cure it. The reason why he did this was to help Zhou Shixiong and save one person and get the kindness of two families. This kind of good thing is hard to encounter.
