Chapter 762: The people of the country come first
Lao Wang felt that it would not be very good if this kind of words reached the ears of the emperor.
Along the way, he has heard a lot about the nonsense of this little case leader.
Therefore, even if this little case leader really wants him to bring a message to the emperor, it has to be picked up and said, how can he say that it is not good.
So the prince said.
Father-in-law Wei is a very intelligent person, he wants to ask the emperor for an official.
Ma Tang bought a Si Li Bing pen with 200,000 taels, he Wei Gonggong couldn't take out 200,000 taels, but 100,000 taels was not a lot, Si Li Da Jue didn't dare to expect extravagance, after all, he didn't have Ma Tang's qualifications, but how could he give a young eunuch, or even a palm print.
Except for the celebrant and the second eunuch of Yuma, the gold content of the palm prints of the rest of the eunuchs is not much, but no matter how much gold content is water, it is also the head and brain of the first eunuch.
No matter how small the village chief is, he is also the number one.
Except for the treasure money division that makes straw paper and the mixed hall division that makes bathwater and sewers, the father-in-law is not happy, and the rest of the units, the father-in-law is satisfied.
Since he is not very old, he has a palm print bonus, even if it is "famous", say it and come out, isn't it all windy.
If you don't give the palm print, you will be promoted to a young eunuch, and the seventh grade will be promoted to the sixth grade and the fifth grade.
Four grades, Wei Gonggong did not dare to ask for luxury, because the highest eunuch in the inner court was four grades.
can be a four-grade eunuch, and can be a "big man" call.
Five or six products, already satisfied.
Anyway, a flying fish suit and a few boxes of official uniforms wanted to coax him 100,000 taels, but Father-in-law Wei couldn't get this tone. After all, once born and twice ripe, no one dares to guarantee that the emperor will stop when he tastes the sweetness.
But this official must not ask for it directly, otherwise, the emperor will feel uncomfortable.
Because, the emperor also has self-esteem.
If he didn't have a righteous heart, he wouldn't be in the palace for the rest of his life.
Therefore, if you ask for an official directly, the emperor will think that I am not just borrowing some silver from your kid, but you are coming to ask me for an official, are you blackmailing me?
Then think about it again, if I really do what you want, wouldn't I become a buyer, what kind of system is this?
Although, the emperor has been doing this all along.
But the emperor's new clothes are also new clothes.
The internal official is the official of the Ming Dynasty system, can he give it indiscriminately.
To put it bluntly, the emperor himself rewards whoever the official is, that is the emperor's business, but if Gonggong Wei makes the emperor feel that he is passive, then this official will not come.
Combined with Wanli's temper and style of acting, Wei Gonggong thinks it's better to talk the opposite.
Wanli actually really cares about the eunuchs sent to the outside, he absolutely carries the black cauldron that he can carry, and the benefits he can give, in addition to the material aspects, he is also willing to give. I really regret and am extremely angry at the domestic slaves who "martyred the country", otherwise I would not have gone on a hunger strike with the cabinet.
Xiao Weizi is looked down upon in the south, what will the emperor think when he hears it, if there are 100,000 taels of entry, most of the father-in-law Wei will be able to advance as he wishes.
Seven grades are small, but I gave him six or five grades, is it big.
It's big, it's big.
The four grades of internal officials are the highest, but inside and outside the court, no one thinks that the four eunuchs of the inner court are equivalent to the four rank officials of the outer court.
Father-in-law Wei's hometown parents Yan Zhixian, Gaoyou's military and political leading cadres, including the prefect of Yangzhou, and Futai in Suzhou, etc...
Which one really treats Eunuch Wei as a little Qipin?
It's all Grandpa Wei's own rhetoric.
Follow the local customs, and the grade of this thing is naturally high and good.
"It's... All right. ”
Seeing that the head of the small case insisted, Wang Tiqian couldn't say much, anyway, he rushed to the emperor to reward these things, including the secret decree, which already showed that this little case leader was really in the emperor's heart, even if a few more bad words were spoken, it would not have an impact.
Besides, the emperor is afraid that he has heard too much bad things about Xiao Wei.
Next, the guests and hosts smiled and ate and drank.
Lao Wang came from afar, how could Grandpa Wei not entertain him.
The cooks of Zuiyuanlou had already waited, and as soon as the order was given, the pot stove moved.
Wang Tiqian reminded the good ministers to burn the secret decree, which is the rule, so as not to spread it.
Gonggong Wei nodded spontaneously, saying that he would burn it after eating, but secretly he had the idea of squeezing out the surplus value of this secret decree.
Officials, only a small part of this surplus value.
Father-in-law Wei's brilliant business acumen led him to see unlimited business opportunities from the emperor's secret decree to borrow money.
This business opportunity, if you want to use technical terms, is the assignment of creditor's rights.
The emperor can borrow money, why can't we?
We can't afford to take the risk of bankruptcy alone.
With this thought in mind, I pondered the feasibility again, and suddenly, my father-in-law's heart was on fire.
Borrowing money is a rare thing that you can be proud to brag about to your children and grandchildren.
opened a few tables, since Wang Tiqian sat in the chief, and Gonggong Wei invited Li Wei and Tian Gang to sit down, although the two were Gonggong Wei's junior followers in the past, but they were the identity of Jinyi Guard, and they came from the guard's decree, which was also considered a bad thing, and it was natural to sit down.
"In front of my father-in-law, there is no reason for my two brothers to sit down."
Li Wei and Tian Gang refused to sit down and resigned one after another.
"Look, you're out of the house again, aren't you? Since they all say that they are our brothers, what are they polite to us? If you don't sit, we don't think you're brothers. "Grandpa Wei is very unhappy.
When Li Wei and Tian Gang heard this, their hearts were warm, and they sat down happily.
Father-in-law Wei asked Cao Wenyao and others to sit with him, but this time he didn't ask Zheng Duo to find his sister to help the fun.
First, Wang Tiqian is not a good woman, and second, his father-in-law is worried about the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family upstairs.
"I have heard the delicious Huaiyang cuisine in the world for a long time, and when I taste it today, it is really worthy of its reputation." Wang Tiqian is in the kitchen of the palace, and his praise is enough to show the deliciousness of Huaiyang cuisine.
"Of course Huaiyang cuisine is delicious, doesn't the prince know that the monsters in "Journey to the West" eat this Huaiyang cuisine every day."
Gonggong Wei raised his wine glass to cheer up, and casually said a few paragraphs of the Western monster banquet written by Wu Chengen, a native of Huai'an, and the current "Journey to the West" is very popular, and Wang Tiqian must have read it. If you think about it, that's really the case.
Wang Tiqian was happy, picked up the wine glass and drank it all with everyone.
After a while, Wang Tiqian put down his chopsticks and was about to tell the governor of Caoyun, Wang Ji, who wanted to trouble Xiao Wei, and reminded Wei Liangchen to be careful, but a cry for help sounded on the canal outside the window.
Everyone was shocked, and Grandpa Wei was also strange, walked to the window and looked out, and found that there seemed to be a boat on the canal that had capsized, and there were faint people fluttering in the river.
"Go and save someone!"
Father-in-law Wei didn't have time to think about it, and was the first to rush out of Zuiyuan Tower, and then everyone also rushed out.
When I got to the river, I could see even more clearly, it was two boats that collided together, and one of the boats capsized. There are many people who have fallen into the water, and there are already boatmen who are saving people, but a few can be saved.
"If you know how to water, go down and save people!"
Father-in-law Wei snorted, and many of his entourage were from Wusong Shuiying, and the water kung fu did not say that this canal was even in the sea and in the river.
When everyone was about to go into the water, a man who was rescued by the boatman and dragged to the shore shouted: "This official is Li Zhizao, the Shaoqing of Taifu Temple, and there are Western priests and foreign merchants who fell into the water, you save them first!" ”
When the subordinates of Gonggong Wei who went into the water to save people heard what the official said, they wanted to save the foreigners first, but there was an angry shout from Gonggong Wei: "How can this be reasonable!" Priests and foreign merchants who are not from our dynasty are not from our dynasty, and are they more important than our people, and you must first save the people, and then save the foreigners. ”
The priority of the Chinese people is a more basic principle than the four basic principles!
Gonggong Wei looked at Li Zhizao, an acquaintance, with a swish.
Not to mention the priests and foreign merchants, even if Matteo Ricci was in this river, it was impossible to save him first.
