Yang Feng really wanted to do it, and soon he wrote the letter to Huang Taiji, but before sending someone to Huang Taiji, he had to let Zhu Youxiao look at it, which is called political correctness in modern times, otherwise Zhu Youxiao knew that even if he didn't say it in his mouth, he would definitely have mustard in his heart.

Because Zhu Youxiao's body was still very weak, he did not go to court these days, but recuperated in Zhang Yan's Kunning Palace, so after learning that Yang Feng asked to see him, Zhu Youxiao met him in a courtyard of Kunning Palace.

"I said Yang Aiqing, you just returned to Beijing, why are you thinking about the emperor Taiji again?" Looking at the letter in his hand, which was full of threatening tones, Zhu Youxiao's face was full of expressions of crying and laughing.

Yang Feng spread his hands helplessly: "The minister doesn't want to, who let the minister rob other people's daughters-in-law, now that woman is making trouble all day long to take her two women to her side, if the minister doesn't agree to her and dare to throw her face to the minister, the minister has no choice, so he can only make this decision." ”

Zhu Youxiao's face was amused: "Oh...... You co-authored such a letter to deal with that little concubine in your family! ”

"I can't quite cope with it." Yang Feng coughed lightly: "The minister is serious, if Huang Taiji doesn't send the minister's two daughters over, the minister will lead the army to welcome them back in person." ”

"Ridiculous......" Zhu Youxiao scolded angrily and funny: "Is it child's play to have a major military event, do you know how much grain and grass it needs to consume every day once the army starts, and how much ordnance it will consume, and your concubine is not sensible, are you also ignorant?" ”

"The minister doesn't need His Majesty and the court to give money."

Yang Feng was speechless with a word, he forgot that this is a well-known local tyrant in front of him, his Daming Royal Commercial Bank gives himself three or four million taels of silver every year, not to mention how much he earns in private, what else can he say if people are willing to pay out of their own pockets to fight Tartars, is this the legendary rich and capricious?

Seeing Zhu Youxiao roll his eyes helplessly, Yang Feng coughed lightly with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, although the minister knows that he is a little willful, but if his own woman doesn't even hurt herself, is it difficult to let others hurt her?" And the minister heard that this year Huang Taiji has been outside the customs to recuperate, a few days ago also expedition to Mobei, plundered a large number of horses and baggage, recently there are plans to prepare an expedition to North Korea, so the minister feels that it is necessary to beat him, can not let his strength swell too fast, which is very unfavorable for us to eliminate them in the future. ”

"You!" Principal Zhu You sighed: "Okay, since you have made a plan, then I won't say anything, but you have to remember that if you really want to go north, you must be careful, you can't trap yourself in, otherwise I will have to take your Daming Royal Commercial House back into the inner treasury." ”

Yang Feng pretended to be disdainful and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, you don't have this opportunity!" ”

"Hahaha......"

After speaking, the two looked at each other and laughed at the same time, and a warm friendship rose in the hearts of the two of them......

After Yang Feng left, Zhang Yan came over with two personal palace maids, and Zhu Youxiao told Zhang Yan about it, and Zhang Yan was also surprised when she heard it: "I didn't expect Jiang Ningbo to be such a temperamental person, and he would not hesitate to start a war for his concubine." Before entering the palace, the concubine often heard the story of the storyteller saying that Emperor Tang Ming loved beauty and did not love the country, and originally thought it was just a fabrication by others, but I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen. ”

Seeing the envy on his daughter-in-law's face, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but feel a little jealous, and pretended to be disdainful: "Zitong, don't listen to that kid's nonsense boasting, I guess he hasn't fought for a long time, so he just found an excuse." ”

Zhang Yan saw her husband's stupid appearance on the side of her face, and couldn't help covering her mouth and chuckling: "Okay, let's not talk about this, but Your Majesty has something to forget." ”

"What's the matter?"

Seeing Zhu Youxiao's puzzled look, Zhang Yan sighed lightly: "Your Majesty was plotted by the villain this time, and almost ...... Fortunately, Jiang Ningbo worked tirelessly to come to the rescue from Fujian. As the saying goes, there is nothing higher than saving the driver, Jiang Ningbo has made such a great contribution, don't you plan to reward him? ”

"Oh...... That's what you're talking about! Zhu Youxiao laughed when he heard this, and waved his hand, "I am free to advocate this matter." ”

Seeing Zhu Youxiao's casual look, Zhang Yan was anxious: "Your Majesty, you can delay anything, but this matter can't be delayed." ”

"Hmmm......"

Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhang Yan puzzled, "Zitong, why are you in such a hurry?" ”

Zhang Yan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it stands to reason that how you want to reward Jiang Ningbo depends on your arbitrary decision, and the harem cannot interfere in political affairs." But today's concubines have to say even if they exceed the system once, Jiang Ningbo has made great contributions to my Ming Dynasty, first rebuilding the sailor division in Fujian Pingding Haikou, and after receiving your urgent call, he rushed to the rescue day and night, which can be described as a high degree of hard work. And as the king of a country, if you can't distinguish rewards and punishments, how can you be convincing? In the long run, I am afraid that it will chill the hearts of the meritorious heroes! ”

Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhang Yan with an anxious look on his face, a pleased smile appeared on his face, he hugged Zhang Yan and said with a smile: "Zitong filtered, how can I be a mean and ungrateful person, Jiang Ningbo has made such a great achievement, how can I not reward it, you can rest assured, the will of the reward should have reached Yang Feng's mansion now." ”

"Fengtian carries the emperor, the edict said. Jiang Ningbo Yang Feng is diligent in his work and has made great contributions to the country...... Today, he was crowned as the Marquis of Jiangning, and gave Danshu iron coupons, which is admirable! ”

Just when Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Yan were discussing Yang Feng, our protagonist just returned to the mansion and received the holy decree from the palace, when the eunuch announced the will, all the people in the palace cheered happily, and Yang Laishun, the big butler who was always used to training people with a straight face, rarely did not come out to stop them.

Everyone knows that the old Zhu family is notoriously stingy with the title, in addition to the beginning of the founding of the country and the time of the Jingjing martyrdom a group of meritorious heroes, the Ming Dynasty has been able to be knighted for more than two hundred years on ten fingers, many people even assert that the previous emperors of the old Zhu family may have different personalities, but they are absolutely the same in the stinginess of the title, and some people joke that I am afraid that the old Zhu family will not give people knighthoods again in the Ming Dynasty.

But this prophecy has been shattered in recent years.

Yang Feng...... This guy from an ordinary background in less than three years from the guard of the thousand households all the way up like a rocket, from the earl to the marquis only took a little more than a year, the most rare thing is that the emperor also gave him Danshu iron coupons, which also means that as long as he does not commit his own death and commit major crimes such as rebellion, his family's title can exist forever with the Ming Dynasty, the ancients said that the glory of the ancestors is Yang Feng.

It's just that our loyal butler Yang Laishun still has a little regret in his heart that his uncle (who should be called Hou Ye now) is actually a Mongolian woman instead of a Han woman, otherwise it would be even more perfect.

Don't blame Yang Laishun for having such an idea, you must know that the national pride of the Ming Dynasty in the seventeenth century was still very strong, and the vast majority of the people were proud of their Han identity. Unlike some elites and compradors hundreds of years later, seeing foreigners is more enthusiastic than seeing their own fathers, and foreigners regard even if they lose a bicycle as a top priority.

The ministers in the court were not too surprised that Yang Feng was made a marquis, after all, this guy had such a good personal relationship with the emperor, and he saved Zhu Youxiao's life not long ago, and it was too easy to be a marquis or something. And the most important thing is that the cabinet officials have no right to say in this kind of matter, this is the private matter of the old Zhu family, even if he is dissatisfied, he can only talk about it in private.

Yang Feng knew that he wouldn't spend too much time in the capital, after all, there was still a lot of things to do in Fujian. So during this time, in addition to the occasional training in the palace, the rest of the time is to accompany Hai Lanzhu and other three daughters, under his hard work, Hai Lanzhu also came to the news of pregnancy after half a month, and at this time Yang Feng is also leaving the capital to prepare to return to Fujian, after all, he has been leaving Fujian for more than a month, presumably things there have been piled up, but he still has one thing to do before leaving the capital.

When Wei Zhongxian saw the visiting Yang Feng, the surprised expression on his face was really not pretended.

"Jiang Ninghou, you are really a rare guest!"

"Hahaha......" Yang Feng laughed, "Why, Benhou has long heard the name of the master of ceremonies, and he has long wanted to come over to see it, but he is always entangled in military affairs on weekdays, and today he can finally find time to come over to visit Grandpa Wei." ”

The corners of Wei Zhongxian's mouth twitched, Yang Feng's movements in the capital these days are not clear to others, isn't it clear that he is the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi and the admiral of Dongchang, in addition to the necessary official duties and entering the palace to accompany His Majesty, this guy spends the rest of his time in the mansion to accompany his own wives, and he can still say that he is always entangled in military affairs, don't you feel blushing when you lie in front of me, the admiral of Dongchang?

However, Wei Zhongxian was not stupid enough to expose it on the spot, officialdom is like this, if you don't say it, some things will be boring to say.

Soon a little eunuch came over to serve tea, and after taking a sip of tea, Yang Feng said bluntly: "Father-in-law Wei, Ben Hou came over today because I want to ask you for help." ”

Wei Zhongxian's face showed surprise: "Oh...... What can't even Hou Ye do? ”

Yang Feng smiled faintly: "The ruler is long and the inch is short, even His Majesty, who is the Son of Heaven, may not be able to do everything as he wishes, not to mention us courtiers, do you say yes?" ”

"That's just as well." Wei Zhongxian nodded, then stared at Yang Feng and said, "I don't know what Master Hou needs our family to do?" But if our family can do it, our family will not shirk. ”
