14. 66 Shun (I)
Coming out of the main hall of Jingcheng in the city, Prince Gong led the guards and entourage, hugged to the Sushun Mansion, the master opened the middle door, personally greeted, and the guests had already arrived. In addition to the eight ministers who took care of their lives, there were also one brother and one brother of King Gong: King Xuan and King Alcohol, a total of eleven hosts and guests, all of whom changed into civilian clothes and chatted in the Water Pavilion first.
It's just that he has just sat down, and he heard a messenger to inform Su Shun, saying that there is a member of the household department, who has arrived from Beijing, and there is an important official report.
"Don't you have any guests here?" Su Shun reprimanded the messenger, "Why don't you tell him that he has official business to go to the yamen to connect." Will I have time to see him? ”
"It turned out to be accompanied by the 'pen post style' in the yamen, saying that there was something important and that I had to send it to Zhongtang as soon as possible."
"Okay!" Su Shun stood up and confessed his guilt and went out to meet the guests.
In less than a cup of tea, Su Shunzhong returned to the water pavilion, full of spring breeze, and looked extremely happy. He was followed by a messenger with a flat cloth bag in his hand, went into the room, placed the cloth bag on the marble-faced red sandalwood round table, and untied it, and inside was a vulgar copper coin.
"Sixth!" Su Shun shouted to King Gong, "You 'money'!" ”
This said, have all surrounded the sample, fine after the new money sample, on the good Yunnan copper cast of the big money, the front of the Chinese, the back of the Manchu, Chinese four words: "Qixiang heavy treasure". It is heavy in the hand and satisfying.
King Gong was quite surprised, but also vigilant, calm and obedient, has always been decisive and bright, in this matter, especially fast, the decree to change the yuan has only been issued for a few days, the new money has been minted, can not but admire him for his seriousness. At the same time, he also thought that once the new money was passed, the prices fell, the small people supported it, and the Quartet praised it, it would be difficult to shake the status of Sushun at that time.
"Hey, Sixth Brother, this thing is really cool," so after a great compliment, he asked casually, "When will the new money be sent out?" ”
"According to the rules, it should be used in the first year of Qixiang, which is worthy of the name, and now there is a serious shortage of cash on the market, so I have to change the power. I think that after a line of ascending ceremony, I will send it out, which can be regarded as a wish to congratulate the young master's heir. Su Shun asked proudly, "What are your plans?" ”
"Yay!" King Gong took the opportunity to say, "According to this, you should go back to the city early." ”
"That's all up to you."
"How?" King Gong was stunned, "'Not in his position, not in his government', what does it have to do with me? ”
"Aren't you taking full responsibility for 'staying in Beijing'? You must be all there before you can go back to the city. ”
"Sixth brother!" King Gong was displeased, "What's the matter?" Do you think there's something wrong? The people in Beijing, who are in a dangerous city, have worked hard to support it, and finally completed a 'Fu Bureau', and today they are still covered, isn't that chilling? ”
Su Shun laughed, patted King Gong's shoulder and said, "Sixth, you are still young!" A joke can't be hung up! Okay, okay, stop complaining, go back and punish my brother for a glass of wine. ”
That big look naturally made King Gong unhappy, but after thinking about it, it was only when he was so arrogant and arrogant that he was so unguarded that it was convenient for him to act. Therefore, the unhappiness in my heart disappeared immediately.
When the invitation is postponed, the host takes King Gong as the chief, and King Gong will definitely refuse. In terms of the age of the title, Prince Zheng Duanhua should be the first, but King Zheng and Su Shun are half-brothers, and they are also half masters, so they should be the first seat of the five kings. He is a person who has no opinions, King Gong asked him to sit down, and he should not let him sit down.
Among the eleven guests of honor, the topic naturally had to be selected by King Gong and Su Shun, because of that small dispute with half-truths and half-truths, both of them were wary and did not want to involve the government affairs of the court, so there was only small talk. Its nobles, who live all day long, have the greatest ability to speak without righteousness, and talk about antiques from Duanhua's snuffbox, which opened the chatter box of Zaiyuan. Prince Yixian Yunxiang, is the most trusted younger brother of Emperor Sejong Xian, on the day of his life, the reward is very rich, the accumulation of several generations, antique calligraphy and painting, the collection is very rich, so Zaiyuan has a large number of family treasures, very proud, according to his own words, the landscape of the "four kings", has not been framed, and there is. These words didn't seem to those princes and princes, and Du Han Kuangyuan and Jiao Youying couldn't help but be envious.
The meal was eaten for two hours, and after the banquet was dispersed, King Gong first said goodbye, and Su Shun wanted to personally send him to the mansion, and King Gong thanked him again and again. When I returned to the hotel, I was extremely well prepared, and I couldn't help but turn my mind around, and I didn't guess a little bit of a calm attitude. Both of them tacitly did not mention the Queen Mother who was far away in the capital.
At this moment, there were many carriages and horses, and officials of more than three grades came to the mansion to meet and ask for peace. King Gong was tired, and then he was cautious, blocked all the driving, closed the door, and slept well, until he got up until the light was on...... (To be continued.)
