Chapter 463: The Imperial Court Pattern
The atmosphere in the Ming Dynasty Hall these days is a little weird, a few days ago, Zhu Youxiao suddenly ordered to appoint Cui Chengxiu, the squire of the Ministry of Works, as the secretary of the Ministry of War and the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Imperial Palace, and replaced Tian Ergeng with Luo Sigong as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and then Gu Bingqian, the first assistant of the cabinet, asked the emperor for the bones, all of which seemed so weird.
As a nine-thousand-year-old, it is natural for Wei Zhongxian to have his own mansion outside, and today he received several guests in his own mansion. Of course, strictly speaking, it can't be said to be a guest, it should be his helper or dog's leg.
These people include Cui Chengxiu, the new secretary of the Ministry of War, Wu Chunfu of the Ministry of Industry, Ni Wenhuan of Taichangqing, Li Kuilong, the left deputy capital of Yushi, Xu Xianchun, the commander of Jinyiwei, Cui Yingyuan, the commander of Jinyiwei, Sun Yunhe and Yang Yuan, the criminal officers of Dongchang, and others.
Wei Zhongxian was dressed in the red and blue chief eunuch costume, and was slowly sipping the fragrant tea, while the seven or eight henchmen below were talking in a low voice, looking harmonious.
After a while, Wei Zhongxian put down the teacup in his hand. Everyone who was chatting and talking was actually secretly observing Wei Zhongxian, and after seeing their boss put down the teacup, almost everyone stopped moving in their hands, and at the same time closed their mouths, and at the same time paid attention to their boss.
"Everyone!" Wei Zhongxian first glanced at everyone before he said softly: "The eight-hundred-mile expedited sent by Liaodong today must all know about it, right?" ”
"So that my father-in-law knows about it and knows it."
Everyone responded in unison, and many people showed smiles on their faces, and Wu Chunfu, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, said with emotion: "I didn't expect that Jiang Ninghou was able to force the Tartars to set an alliance under the city, and compensated us for 100,000 taels of gold and 1 million taels of silver, and there are countless cattle, sheep and horses. ”
Jin Yiwei commanded Yang Yuan, who was the commander, and said with a smile: "Lord Wu, if you let Jiang Ninghou know what you said, I'm afraid he will be very unhappy." ”
Yue Fei was a famous general in the Southern Song Dynasty, but his fate is known to everyone. Wu Chunfu's face also changed slightly after listening to Yang Yuan's words, and he laughed dryly and quickly explained: "Lord Yang said that he was joking, the official just said this casually, and Jiang Ninghou must not care." ”
What are you kidding, now Yang Feng is in the limelight, and he has won Zhu Youxiao's trust, so he will not offend him casually.
Wei Zhongxian, who saw all this in his eyes, shook his head slightly, although these belong to the same eunuch party, but there is competition between everyone, and there will be no signs of each other, even he has no way to stop it, after all, the human heart is the most difficult thing to guess in this world.
"That's it!" Wei Zhongxian coughed lightly: "Let's not talk about the Marquis of Jiangning, this time the Beijing camp won the victory and returned to the dynasty, the emperor can be described as a dragon-faced great joy, and from now on, His Majesty can be regarded as having an elite army that can fight well, and these days even ...... Even when I reviewed the folds, I smiled a lot. ”
Hearing this, everyone laughed heartily, since they are known as eunuchs, it means that their interests have been linked to the emperor, and the emperor's joys, sorrows and sorrows are their joys, sorrows, and sorrows. They may be despised and even scolded as just a bunch of traitors who only know how to flatter and bully the cholera court, but on the other hand, no one can deny their loyalty to the emperor, because their interests are the same. This is much stronger than many scholars who have to ask for the lives of the people when they open their mouths and close their mouths all day long.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the house was very harmonious, Cui Chengxiu also spoke: "Chitose, according to the excerpts sent by Liaodong, the Tartars have compensated us for 100,000 taels of gold and 1 million taels of silver, as well as tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and war horses, and the Marquis of Jiangning has dedicated forty percent of them to the emperor, and we naturally want to enter the inner treasury of those gold and silver, but those war horses, cattle and sheep, are we ......?"
Although Cui Chengxiu didn't finish speaking, his meaning was naturally clear to everyone. Although the Ming Dynasty of this time and space has changed a lot because of the arrival of Yang Feng, some things cannot be changed, such as the price of cattle, sheep and livestock is still relatively expensive, especially the horse is a great thing, its value is comparable to who owns a Maserati in later generations, and riding it out can attract a lot of attention. Since Jingying has brought so many livestock, and there are so many good horses among them, can they have their hands on it?
As soon as they heard the tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and war horses, the eyes of the people present lit up, these things are in demand in Daming, if you can get these things, everyone here can make a windfall.
Unexpectedly, Wei Zhongxian shook his head: "Don't worry about these things, since the things have already arrived in the hands of Jingying, they are other people's things." If you are not afraid that Lu Xiangsheng will come with 30,000 elites to settle accounts according to you, just stretch out your hand, but if you are in trouble, don't come to our house to cry. ”
"Nine thousand years old...... You're ......"
Seeing that Wei Zhongxian, who had always been greedy for money, actually expressed his disinterest in these things, everyone couldn't help but look at each other, could it be that the nine thousand years old actually changed sex today? Yang Yu couldn't help but say tentatively: "Nine thousand years old, the three of Lu Xiangsheng have certainly made contributions in Liaodong, but Master Cui is the secretary of the Ming Dynasty's military department, but it is just a matter of an official document of the military department, is it possible that they still dare to disobey the orders of the military department?" ”
"Disobey the orders of the military department?"
Seeing that these people still didn't give up after he had already made such an obvious hint, Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in his heart, and he sneered: "Isn't the military department Shangshu amazing?" If you have the ability, your military department will issue an official letter now, asking Jiang Ninghou to return the military power of Jiang Ningjun to the military department, do you think he will listen? ”
"Let Yang Feng hand over Jiang Ningjun, what are you kidding?" Everyone laughed bitterly, if the Ministry of War really dared to issue such an official document, there were only two possibilities, either Yang Feng threw this official document away as waste paper, or Yang Feng turned his face with Cui Chengxiu on the spot.
After hearing Wei Zhongxian say this, everyone realized that Wei Zhongxian really had no interest in these things, or that he had any scruples about the old man.
"Alright, look at your unproductive appearance." Seeing that everyone looked thoughtful, Wei Zhongxian blew himself up, and if he didn't come up with some dry goods, I am afraid that these people would be even more cranky. He said angrily: "Let's tell you one more thing, last time Jiang Ninghou made a deal with our family before going through it, but because our family hadn't thought it through before, we didn't tell you, and now we think we can tell you." ”
Hearing the transaction, everyone's spirits couldn't help but be shocked, and Qi Qi looked at Wei Zhongxian.
Wei Zhongxian pondered for a while before he said: "Before leaving Beijing, Jiang Ninghou once asked our family to send a person to secretly collect craftsmen who know how to build ships in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the more the better, and send them to Fujian after collecting, as long as this matter is done, Jiang Ninghou will allow our family to do business freely in Nanyang under the banner of Fujian sailors from now on, what do you say about this condition?" ”
"Can you do business in the Nanyang area under the banner of Fujian sailors?"
As soon as they heard the news, almost everyone instantly rose into high tides. Who doesn't know that this year in Daming maritime merchants is the most profitable business, but for hundreds of years, the passage of maritime merchants has been held in the hands of the sea in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian, and ordinary people do not want to enter and get a piece of the pie without the consent of these maritime merchants. What's more, the sea is not as good as the land, if you encounter pirates in the vast sea, you can lose all your money and lose your money in minutes, which is why you know that if you can sell things such as silk, tea and porcelain of the Ming Dynasty, you can get several times or even dozens of times the profit, but not many people dare to do it.
And now that Yang Feng has allowed Wei Zhongxian to do business under the banner of Fujian Sailors, this is different. Who doesn't know that the Fujian Navy Division is a fleet built by Yang Feng with a lot of money, and with the protection of this fleet, the risk of going to sea can be minimized, and the profits are also guaranteed to the maximum. Why is Yang Feng so rich, isn't it because he has mastered a route between Da Ming and Obaro that no one knows, so what kind of sea route is this, this is clearly a road paved with glittering gold!
"Chitose, is this true?" Wu Chunfu's voice became a little trembling, "If this is the case, it is equivalent to opening up a road to wealth for us!" ”
"Nonsense, will we lie to you?" Wei Zhongxian glanced at him with some smug eyes, and said smugly: "In the past few months, our family has ordered thousands of craftsmen to be recruited in the Dongchang in Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the name of the government, and then secretly sent to Fujian, Jiang Ninghou has officially replied to our family, from next month we can find a boat to go to sea, but ......"
Speaking of this, Wei Zhongxian's face began to sink, "Don't forget to do your own thing while earning silver, the queen will give birth in two months, everyone has to keep an eye on it during this time, if there is any fork, don't say that you will go to sea to earn silver, but the black gauze hat on your head may not be able to keep it, do you all understand?" ”
Everyone's faces also began to become solemn, and they said in unison: "Humble duty understands! ”
To say that during this period of time, in addition to the war in Liaodong and Fujian, the most eye-catching is the queen Zhang Yan, because her production period is coming, the eyes of the entire government and the opposition are focused on her, if she can successfully give birth to a prince, this means that Zhu Youxiao has a legitimate heir, and the pattern of the entire court will also be new.
