Chapter Ninety-ninth

In November of the 26th year of Jiajing, a major event occurred in the capital, when the third queen of today's son Fang passed away.

Emperor Jiajing is indeed very capable of making trouble. He only succeeded to the throne for more than 20 years and changed three queens.

Logically speaking, the queen is a person who is in the world and her status should be highly respected.

But his three queens all ended up miserably.

The first Empress Chen was pregnant with Emperor Jiajing at that time. Because she was jealous of Emperor Jiajing, she glanced at Concubine Shun's hand while drinking tea, and said something to Emperor Jiajing, and was scolded by Emperor Jiajing.

Empress Chen was frightened by this and was worried that she would lose favor. As a result, she had a miscarriage under high pressure.

Shortly after that, Empress Chen died of illness.

Emperor Jiajing did not feel too sad, and later enthroned the second queen Zhang. It is interesting to say that this queen Zhang was the previous Concubine Shun.

Empress Zhang's fate was also very miserable, because she pleaded with love for the brother of the Empress Dowager Zhang (the wife of Emperor Hongzhi), which angered Emperor Jiajing and was deposed. She died soon after.

Finally, the third queen Fang.

It is said that Empress Fang also saved Emperor Jiajing.

The famous Renyin Palace Incident occurred in the 21st year of Jiajing, and Emperor Jiajing was almost strangled to death by Yang Jinying and other palace maids.

The clinker palace maid Zhang Jinlian turned against the water halfway and ran to Queen Fang's harem for help.

Empress Fang arrived in time to save Emperor Jiajing.

Afterwards, Empress Fang executed the palace maid involved and Concubine Cao Duan who was serving in bed that night.

Because of his merits in protecting the emperor, Emperor Jiajing once favored Empress Fang very much, but later he heard that Concubine Cao Duan was wronged, so Empress Fang took the opportunity to execute Concubine Cao Duan to death.

After Emperor Jiajing learned the news, he became furious, and the other queen also turned from love to hate.

He was determined to avenge his revenge for Concubine Cao Duan, but he could never find a chance.

It was not until late in November of the 26th year of Jiajing that Queen Fang's bedroom suddenly caught fire. According to the rules of the palace, the palace gate was locked at night, so people in the palace could not escape, and people outside the palace could not enter.

But logically speaking, as long as the fire is put out in time, Queen Fang’s life can still be saved.

But no one went to put out the fire.

This bizarre fire directly burned Queen Fang's bedroom and all the eunuchs and maids in the palace were burned to death.

Many people speculated that this was Emperor Jiajing's revenge on the Empress, but this was just a speculation and there was no evidence.

But when Xu Yan was looking at the idle book on this day, Yang Pengju rushed to the study room and said panting: "Brother, it's snowing, it's snowing outside. Come and see!"

Xu Yan looked out the window and saw a lot of snowflakes floating.

Although there has not been a snow accumulation yet, it is not impossible to continue falling a layer of snow on the next day like this.

The south of the Yangtze River is not as good as the north, and snowfall in the 11th lunar calendar is indeed a bit rare.

It hasn't snowed in Ningbo for a long time, otherwise the fat man wouldn't be so excited.

"Let's go out and have a look."

Xu Yan put down the book and stood up, and walked into the yard with Yang Pengju.

"Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest!"

Watching the falling snowflakes fall on the plants and trees, Xu Yan sighed sincerely.

For the farming people, it really depends on the weather.

If the crops die of drought and no rain, it will cause famine, and I don’t know how many people will starve to death.

There were actually many famines in the Ming Dynasty, and there were also many famines in the Jiajing year. The Xu family was in the grain business, so they had a deep understanding of this.

"A good harvest, and there are many delicious foods in the year of good harvest."

Yang Pengju added a very appropriate sentence.

Xu Yan shook his head, this is really the stupid son of the landlord.

"When the painting hall gets up in the morning, I come to report the snowflakes. I look at the beautiful scenery with high roller blinds, and the bright colors are far away and the courtyard is covered with a blur.

The qi and light are used to draw smoke from the furnace, and the plain grass and cold produce jade pendants. It should be that the immortals are drunk and crushing the white clouds indiscriminately."

Wherever Xu Yanyan came, he recited a poem.

After saying that, Yang Pengju immediately applauded and applauded.

"Everyone in the world says that you are a poet and saint. I have seen it today."

Xu Yan was speechless.

"Uh, Brother Pengju, this song is Li Taibai's Qingpingle."

"I thought it was made by my elder brother."

Yang Pengju scratched his head and said.

Xu Yan thought that good poems naturally need to be used on the blade, and it would be a pity to waste them like this.

"This is a sleek article, can you explain it to me?"

"Look at the auspicious snow flying, white snow filling the steps. The snowflakes dance like the stove and smoke steaming, and the white flowers and plants are shining with cold light. They are like the gods in the sky who are drunk, crushing the clouds..."

Xu Yan explained very freely.

"Brother is really talented."

Yang Pengju praised.

Xu Yan thought to himself that this is wherever he goes.

"I'm not nagging for my brother, I'm a good brother Pengju, and it's still necessary to understand some necessary poems."

Xu Yan thought about it and said, "A great poetic poems like Li Taibai and Su Dongpo must be recorded. Otherwise, if others talk about you, it would be too embarrassing."

Unexpectedly, Yang Pengju said with a smile on his face: "What am I afraid of? Is it my turn to stand up with my elder brother by my side?"

Seeing him looking so stingy, Xu Yan was so amused and laughed.

But it's really interesting to have such a living treasure by your side.

...

...

In Xixi Hongyuan, Hong Miaoyun is also chanting the same word.

Such a poem by Li Taibai is chanted from a young woman, but it has a unique charm.

"What are the lady thinking?"

"nothing."

Hong Miaoyun shook her head and said, "Just think about it all."

"Miss, you're thinking of Mr. Xu."

Cuiwen covered her mouth and smiled, "Young Master Xu may be thinking about Miss too."

"You dead girl."

Hong Miaoyun glared at Cuiwen and said angrily.

"If you want to say that Mr. Xu is already a small and medium-sized junior high school at a young age, if you can meet Lian Jie in the village, even if you have made achievements, you can marry a lady. At that time, I am afraid that my servant will change his words to call him a son-in-law."

Cuiwen had no intention of stopping at all.

"I hope so."

Hong Miaoyun said secretly.

It's so harsh to think about it all day long.
