Chapter 152: Happiness Gives Birth to Sorrow
The emperor sat in the south study and watched the recital.
There was a cabinet elder on duty outside, and Chen Ge Lao read a letter of envelope, and then sent it into the house in different categories.
The little yellow door was busy inside and out, and occasionally the sound of the emperor coughing could be heard in the south study.
Chen Ge Lao looked at the chamberlain next to him, "You persuade the emperor, in two hours, it will be early again, the dragon body is important, if there is an urgent twist, we will present it early tomorrow morning." ”
The chamberlain shook his head, "I've already been persuaded to do so." ”
The words have already been said, who would dare to say it a second time.
First of all, Nanzhili had an accident, and now even Li Chengmao in the frontier dares to do things that are greedy for ink, and even forcibly occupy the people's land and connive at his subordinates' lawlessness in the capital.
This is like stretching out his hand and slapping himself in the face, the emperor has no face, and no one will have a good time.
If something happens to a civil official, and another accident happens to a military general, the entire Great Zhou Dynasty seems to be in turmoil.
Chen Ge Lao was thinking about it, when a voice suddenly sounded in front of him, "Chen Ge Lao, I remember that you and General Chen are both from Fengyang Mansion. ”
Chen Ge Lao was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly stood up, "The emperor remembers clearly, General Chen's ancestral home is in Fengyang, and Chen's great-grandfather went to Fengyang when he fled the famine, but later settled in Kunshan. Explaining it in this way is tantamount to getting out of touch with Chen Wenshi.
The emperor was furious, who dares to have anything to do with Chen Wenshi now?
Chen Wenshi has held military power for so many years, and everyone knows in their hearts that once something happens, it will be irreparable, and the entire Chen family will be implicated.
Poor Chen family three generations stationed at the border. In the end, it ended up like this.
Chen Ge Lao couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart.
Thanks to Li Chengmao's direct report to the Ministry of Officials on the night he entered Beijing, if he went to Chen Wenshi's birthday banquet, the imperial historian would hold the handle even more.
"The hour is getting late. There are still two hours to go to the court, Chen Ge will go to rest in the room! ”
Chen Ge Lao answered, sorted out the music at hand, and retreated step by step.
When the door of the south study was closed, the emperor suddenly threw the fold in his hand on the ground, "Call Cui Yiting in, I want to ask clearly." ”
The waiter replied and retreated.
In half an hour's effort, most of the recitals on the emperor's table have been reduced. Cui Yiting stood in the study and saluted.
"Tell me how you caught Jiang Zhong."
Cui Yiting told the events of that day, "If Jiang Zhong hadn't let people burn the stables first." If the Shen family is in trouble, Lord Jiang and I won't know about it. ”
It is the same as the brocade guard's notice.
The emperor put down the pen in his hand, raised his head and looked at Cui Yiting, "Your father raised a pool of koi. There are many mansions in Kyosato. Most of the ponds are bigger than your family, but no one is as good as your father's koi, and now your father still raises fish? ”
At that time, the emperor was still an idle prince, and he often fished with his father, and the two of them drank in the study after fishing, and the emperor also praised the cook at home for cooking a good dish.
Cui Yiting said: "It's still raising, raising, rearing." ”
The emperor has a slight jaw. Standing up, "What is rare is the persistence of all these years." When your father was in the cabinet, I said that he was a loyal minister. ”
The emperor was about to let Cui Yiting retreat, but he remembered something, "What do you think of Li Chengmao's case?" ”
Cui Yiting did not hesitate, "If this kind of thing happens, it is natural to inquire carefully, whether it is Jiang Zhong or the Shen family, they must ask clearly, if there is such a thing, no matter who lives up to the emperor's grace, they will not be able to escape the law of the Great Zhou Dynasty." ”
The emperor was silent for a long time.
The atmosphere of the whole south study seems to be more solemn.
……
Zhang Qicheng heard the news after the early dynasty.
Han Wudao: "First asked Chen Ge Lao, Chen Ge Lao didn't even dare to mention the friendship with Chen Wenshi's fellow villagers, and then called Cui Yiting, and even Cui Yiting said that he would carefully inquire about Jiang Zhong and the Shen family, the Shen family is a businessman, and the businessman is good at being flexible, so he can't believe it lightly," he paused, "I think the holy will is already very clear, the emperor has become suspicious of Chen Wenshi and Li Chengmao, the lord has done this game, and the Shen family's immortality is just icing on the cake." ”
Before Zhang Qicheng could speak, Zhao Fan next to him had already laughed, "In this way, Chen Wenshi is categorically impossible to go to Xuanfu, and the Chen family can no longer be in charge of the army." ”
If this is the case, not only can you not go to Xuanfu and not be in charge of the army, Han Wudao: "Since ancient times, any military general with heavy troops will not end up well, as long as Li Chengmao's crime is confirmed, there is no need for the lord to do it, those who were not used to Chen Wenshi in the past will jump out and fall into the ground." ”
Zhao Fan hurriedly said, "What about the Shen family?" Will the Shen family make trouble in the middle? ”
Han Wu stroked his beard, "No, the Shen family is just a small businessman, and it can't affect the overall situation, and even Cui Yiting is in a hurry to push the Shen family out and make a clear relationship with the Shen family, who else can the Shen family rely on?" ”
The more Zhao Fan listened, the more he felt that this was the case.
The Shen family is just a chess piece in a game of chess.
……
Zhang Yuzhen waited for Zhao Fan to come back from her father's house, and waited until the evening for the drunk Zhao Fan.
"Where did this go?"
Zhang Yuzhen complained.
"This time it's a drink with my cousin." Zhao Fan's face was like a flower with a smile on his face.
"Which cousin?" Zhang Yuzhen asked.
Zhao Fan squinted his eyes, "The Jin family, who has five incense powder shops at home," said and paused, "Didn't you say that the incense powder that the Jin family gave to your mother was better than that given to you, but now you are coming over with a few boxes of incense powder and want to buy you happy." ”
Zhang Yuzhen couldn't help but be surprised, "Why is this?" ”
Zhao Fan slowly took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms, "I heard that you like mahogany interstitials, and I took the silver to let you buy interstitials, which can be regarded as filial piety to your cousin-in-law." ”
Looking at the silver ticket placed on the table, Zhang Yuzhen's heart almost rushed to the tip of her hair.
How could the Jin family be so generous.
Zhang Yuzhen didn't care to look at the silver tickets, and covered her jumping chest, "Master, what happened." Don't scare the concubine. ”
"Look at you," Zhao Fan said with a smile, "I still want the Shen family's tea shop." When I saw these coins, I was scared like this......"
Zhao Fan took a sip of tea, "What's so great about the Shen family's tea, those who really know how to do business don't need to get these Laoshzi, they can get tens of millions of taels of real money between hands." ”
Looking at the old man's proud expression, "Is it the Jin family who wants to enter the office and ask for the master?" ”
"What is the Jin family doing at ease?"
Zhang Yuzhen couldn't guess at this moment.
"It's a salt introduction, and you want me to help open a white slip to go to the salt transportation so that the teaching silver can be used to offset the grain for salt."
It turned out to be a salt exchange.
Zhang Yuzhen breathed a sigh of relief, "Didn't the master say that there aren't many salt leads?" There are too many white strips opened this year. The salt in the northwest has been distributed. ”
"That's this year, what about next year, the year after? Maybe the Xuanfu will no longer pay grain in exchange, and it will have to be offset with silver. Zhao Fan was triumphant, "The household department took advantage of Li Chengmao's accident and went on a bad job, maybe there will be no more Shangtun in the future, as long as you pay the silver, you can exchange it for salt." So. Those who can buy salt will become the real God of Wealth. ”
"A salt merchant like the Shen family will soon be ruined."
This is really killing two birds with one stone, although he lost his title, he has gained endless glory and wealth, as long as he thinks of this, Zhao Fan feels comfortable.
"When the time comes, I will buy you a big mansion, don't you always envy the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion...... Compared with my own sisters, I don't have to say that I don't love you in the future. ”
Looking at Zhao Fan, who was smiling, Zhang Yuzhen couldn't help laughing. "What the master said is true or false." As he spoke, he had already taken the silver ticket on the table and counted it carefully.
The Chen family fell, and sure enough, there were benefits for them.
……
When Yao Yiwen returned to the house, he saw that Zhang asked his subordinates to count the things in the house. There were a bunch of large and small boxes, Yao Yiwen said while taking off his clothes: "What is this going to do?" ”
Zhang smiled and said, "Old Lady Zhao's birthday is coming, I went to give some gifts, but my sister asked people to return these things." ”
Yao Yiwen was a little surprised, "This is all sent by your sister?" ”
Zhang's jaw, "The medicinal materials that are not easy to find on the market, my sister and brother-in-law asked them to buy them from Qizhou, and they are about to use the prescriptions sent by the Jiang family." ”
In addition to medicinal herbs, there are some other things.
Yao Yiwen casually opened a box.
Zhang took a breath and exclaimed, "Master, you have to be slower." ”
In the brocade box is a statue of Guanyin.
It's like drawing a lottery, Yao Yiwen looked at the smooth Guanyin, and his mood suddenly brightened, "This is ......"
"It was my sister who invited me to provide for it," Zhang Shifei looked at Yao Yiwen, "My sister said, this is very effective." ”
The Zhang family seemed to have sent everything they wanted at once.
Let the subordinates move the things down one by one, and the Zhang family personally brought tea to Yao Yiwen, "Have you heard about the Shen family?" She just wanted to mention the Shen family at this time, so that the master would know that the Zhang family would always bring wealth and status to the Yao family, but the Shen family would be endless troubles.
Yao Yiwen really frowned, "It seems to be related to Li Chengmao." ”
Zhang sighed, "I don't know how to provoke such a right and wrong," Speaking of this, Zhang's face showed a little worry, "I heard from outsiders that the Shen family's shop is now managed by Wanning, and when I went out to the banquet, the ladies all inquired about the Shen family openly and secretly, and I didn't know how to answer." ”
Zhang said and lowered his head, "It seems that I did something wrong, but I'm nothing, it's just Wanning, I'm still young, I can't just let people talk nonsense like this." ”
As soon as Zhang's voice fell, Yin Gui came in and said, "Master, madam, someone from the Criminal Department has come and said that he wants to see the master." ”
The Criminal Department came at this time.
Yao Yiwen was a little surprised, "Which adult is here?" ”
Yingui said: "The housekeeper's mother said that he was a member of the Criminal Department, and he heard that the master was back, so he came to visit." ”
What is the reason? The sixth brother has already been sentenced to exile, why will the criminal department come to the door at this time.
Yao Yiwen instructed Yingui, "Welcome people to the study, and I'll go over." ”
