Ling Xiang looked at Shangguan You with a smile, thinking to himself, this person didn't really want to resign and go into hiding, but it was just that the military knowledge of the military with too little official position and power and transcendent status seemed to be his ambition.

Rong Xijue ordered Zhu Xie to sound up, he stood aside, he had already passed the joy, and listened to the discussion of several people with a blank face.

Not long after, the prince ordered someone to go to the Ministry of Works.

Shangguan You reminded: "The establishment of the Military Governor's Institute will inevitably make big waves, the East Palace is involved in minerals, and it is not as high-sounding as the elimination of corruption and bandits, so it can be postponed for a while, and the officials of the Ministry of Industry are unfamiliar, and they can't ask questions, and the atlas is just ......."

Ling Xiang hesitated, "I wonder if I can invite Rong Chengqi to come?"

"Very good!" Shangguan You stroked his palm, "Rong Chengqi is proficient in government affairs, and he has been in charge of the Ministry of Works, but he is the best candidate." ”

Although Rong Chengqi is not a confidant of the East Palace, but now that the East Palace is recovering and the emperor wants to kill, there is no need to worry about whether he is loyal or not.

Ling Xiang avoided returning to Xinuan Pavilion and waited until the prince's deliberations were over, Rong Xijue said that he knew her and had surveyed the Tongguanshan Copper Mine in Tongling as the first place in the East Palace.

Tongguanshan ore deposits are enriched, mining for many years, has developed eight large mines, the government only occupies one, the remaining eight are actually occupied by the ministry or local gentry.

The king of Tongling bore the brunt, and Rong Chengqi proposed it, in addition to the fact that this is the largest copper mine, of course, it also has the meaning of showing his heart.

Ling Xiang had been in contact with the children of the King of Tongling, and thought that this prince must know that if he loves money, he must first spare his life, and it is not a problem to take the Bishan Mine under his rule.

Of the remaining deposits, two were originally occupied by the abolished emperor and the king of Zeng. The Ministry of Industry is waiting to be returned to the imperial court, and it is not a problem for the East Palace to be taken, and there are still a few in the hands of local officials to find out the details. However, the few veins controlled by the Tang Guogong family of Emperor Kangci's concubine are a bit tricky.

Anyway, this plan will be mentioned after the successful establishment of the Military Governor's Academy, and Ling Xiang will no longer put his beak.

***

On the seventh day of the first month, Princess Zhong did a small birthday.

In the royal family, this was originally a small thing.

However, the status of King Zhong is different from what it used to be, and people from all walks of life have also taken it seriously.

When the first emperor was there, he was just a disabled prince who was almost forgotten by his father. gave up on himself and ate into a big fat man, and later. Emperor Shunzuo was annoyed when he saw him.

And now, he is the Zongren Mansion and the Sect, holding the real power of the royal family.

In Xinzhengli, the palace took advantage of the princess's feast guests.

However, there are two groups of people who rushed into the capital from Zhejiang and also found their way here.

Jinling to Hangzhou. It can be reached by road in a day. It was only two days by water, and the news of the canonization of Liangdi in the East Palace had actually been sent to Hangzhou a few years ago.

Originally, this was not about the political envoy of Zhejiang, but it was the registered people who gave Chao Daojian a headache.

The year before last, the Chaodao prosecutor took office, the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, close to the capital, and Zhejiang Cheng announced that the political envoy was a fat poor. Since it is fat, some people inevitably want to get a piece of the pie. For example, another procurator of the same grade is very obstructive.

Chao Daojian finally found the Dingguo Mansion as a backer, this Dingguo Gong Qiu Lei, in the hands of the first emperor, it was really a beautiful scenery for a while, one son-in-law is the emperor Wei Wang, the other is the left minister Yuyang King, full of illustrious, stomp and stomp the government and the opposition have to tremble.

Thinking that such a backer could sit back and relax, he wanted to find a random reason to bring down the criminal security prosecutor, and it happened that there was an experience in the ya, saying that the criminal envoy colluded with the local rich Ling Dongcheng, received an unknown amount of bribes and silver, and went to Beijing to obtain the support of the Dingguo Mansion, that is, the rich businessman was arrested and imprisoned, fabricated charges, and forced him to climb the bite of the year.

The little thing in the prison, who doesn't know, this case has indeed become an iron case, and the punishment according to the investigation made Li Younian fall more than a dozen officials in the first line, and because of the intercession of King Zeng, only the officials were demoted two levels and transferred to Yunnan to listen to the use, and the rest of the little ghosts were all unlucky and exiled.

Emperor Shunzuo is old, Chao Daozhen is a shrewd person, and he has abundant financial resources, so he naturally casts nets everywhere, King Zhao is in the vein, and he also burns incense, no matter which prince ascends the throne, if there is no big fork, he can be his feudal official in peace.

Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the worse, the most critical thing in this case, Chao Daozhen thought that the link that could not turn over the waves, the rich businessman Ling Dongcheng, has now become his stalk in the throat.

In the end, it was a member from the second grade, and the Zhongwang Mansion received a post from Chao Daojian, and the palace Cheng Si Fengzheng personally came out to receive it.

Early in the morning, there were already a cloud of guests on the door, Chao Daozhen barely squeezed out a smile, and as the middle-aged eunuch was about to enter, he only heard the first voice behind him: "Lord Chao!"

Looking back, I recognized that it was a giant businessman under Hangzhou Weaving, known as Shen Wuzhen, the head of the Shen family in Silk Mansion, who was sweating like rain and chased after the burden-bearer.

Chao Daozhen's face darkened, this Shen Wuzhen was originally Ling Dongcheng's in-laws, after the case, I heard that the Shen family had divorced Ling Dongcheng's daughter, and then somehow found the way of his sister-in-law, and was brought by his brother-in-law to give a generous gift, indicating that he had nothing to do with Ling Dongcheng.

Chao Dao Inspection was not aimed at these businesses, so they turned a blind eye and passed.

In his frank official career, these were just small things like sesame mung beans, but because Ling Dongcheng's daughter was Donggong Liangdi, he forced him to become an ant on a hot pot.

The palace Chengfeng Si Fengzheng saw a lot of all kinds of scenes, seeing that Lord Buzheng's face was ugly, he thought that he was unfamiliar, and the other party was wearing a green cloth round-necked robe, obviously a white body, and glanced at the honor guards on both sides, that is, there were two people with guns blocking Shen Wuzhen's way.

Shen Wuzhen took his two sons into Beijing together, and he didn't know much about it at this time, and he was reluctant to spit out the huge amount of money in his mouth, so he went to Lingdong City Mansion to eat a closed door, and wanted to find out the bottom in the capital.

If you can find a way, such as the backstage of King Zhong, Donggong Liangdi's maiden family may not be able to mediate.

Silk Mansion has been taking the door of the household department and the thirteen officials of the inner court, but when the abolished emperor died, there was a massacre in the palace, and the eunuch head who was originally in charge of their line was killed. Before inquiring, after inquiring, only Zhongwangfu, who is now the prince's eldest uncle, is also Zongren's Mansion Zongzheng, in charge of royal internal affairs, is the best mediator, but he is a businessman, but he is not allowed to enter.

Finally bumped into Chao Daozhen, Shen Wuzhen's excitement was indescribable, ignoring the gun halberd of the guard, pounced on it and shouted: "My lord, I am Shen Wuzhen from Hangzhou Weaving, and I specially rushed over to congratulate the princess on her birthday." ”

From time to time, there are officials or female dependents arriving in front of the house, he shouts here, Cheng Si Zheng is embarrassed, waving his hand to let a little eunuch come up to question, there has been a Chao Dao to check in, all the way smiled: "These white Ding, I don't know how to advance or retreat, I think that doing things in weaving is the official body? ”

Chao Daojian squeezed out and said yes with a smile. (To be continued.) )
