Sun Yunhe said: "That's good! I'll tell you the truth, the factory has already nodded his head about this! Then there will be no more surprises. But the factory won't help you on the bright side! You also know how difficult those civil servants are! If the factory man speaks in person, I'm afraid that this matter will be difficult to do! Those sour dices quote scriptures endlessly, and it's light to drag you for a year or two! ”

Liu Dahai nodded in understanding. Sun Yunhe continued: "The factory has arranged for me to let out the news and prepare to oppose your Ryukyu canonization. The reason is that Liu Pei's identity is doubtful. ”

Liu Dahai was anxious when he heard this, and said, "Didn't you say that the factory can help?" How so? ”

Sun Yunhe waved his hand and said, "Lord Liu, don't be impatient, listen to me tell you slowly." You don't know what is going on in the DPRK now! Now the factory and the ministers of the court are regarded as water and fire. Therefore, as long as the factory company releases the news, there will be civil officials to help you cheer you up, and then urge you to go to the table and finish the matter as soon as possible. Maybe you won't even need to attend the court meeting, and the canonization decree will come down. ”

Only then did Liu Dahai understand that Wei Zhongxian was using the method of borrowing strength, and said with surprise and joy at the moment: "This matter is thanks to the factory father!" In the next must report to the factory! ”

Sun Yunhe said with a smile: "This is simple! You honor the factory for 30,000 taels of silver, and this matter is over! You can't let the factory be infamous on your back, right? It's good to take a silver ticket, and it's not leaky. ”

Liu Dahai nodded again and again, and said, "The next official will send it over tomorrow, and I will definitely satisfy the factory father!" ”

Sun Yunhe slapped the table: "Lord Liu is really refreshing!" Since you're happy, I'm so happy! Tomorrow, I will arrange for someone to release the rumors and ensure that Lord Liu's wishes come true! But you don't have to send the silver ticket, I'll arrange someone to get it tomorrow night! ”

Liu Dahai arched his hand and said: "The whole battle is complete!" ”

Then the two of them discussed some specific details and started drinking. Needless to say, the reason why Sun Yunhe was happy was because he had to have a few pieces of silver in his account, first of all, Wei Zhongxian only needed 20,000 taels of silver, and he changed it to 30,000 taels and swallowed 10,000 taels alone! Moreover, he said that there were 10,000 taels more in the silver shared by each family, and he could swallow this money alone. In other words, he can get a fixed 10,000 taels of interest every year, which of course makes him very happy!

And Liu Dahai was happy that it didn't take long for him to come to Jingshi. And it's the easiest way to do it – spend money!

In fact, Liu Dahai did not know the extent of corruption in the Ming Dynasty officialdom. In fact, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was not an exaggeration to say that no official was not greedy! So from the beginning, Wang Changde instructed them to use silver to open the way, which was a very correct thing.

Back at the post house, Liu Dahai began to count the silver tickets on his body. These days, remove the money that has been spent one after another, on him

There were still nearly 100,000 taels of silver tickets that had not been used, enough for him to pay for all his expenses.

After Liu Dahai finished counting the silver tickets, he fell asleep with confidence. The next night, the two servants appeared like ghosts. Liu Dahai didn't say much, and directly wrapped the prepared silver ticket and handed it to them. They then vanished without a trace.

Liu Dahai knew that these two people should be Sun Yunhe's henchmen. If not, Sun Yunhe would not dare to hand over the matter of receiving such a large bribe to these two people.

The silver ticket was sent out, and all that remained was to wait. At this time, Liu Dahai was exhausted and went to bed early.

In the days that followed, he walked around the capital every day during the day to watch the scenery of the capital. At night, he went in and out of the Qinglou Chu Pavilion with the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and he was chic and happy.

After waiting for four or five days, just when Liu Dahai was shocked and suspected that he had been deceived by Sun Yunhe, Wang Wencheng suddenly appeared! This makes Liu Dahai feel very strange! In the past, this Wang Langzhong only appeared after the next dynasty, but today he actually appeared when he was in the last dynasty! So Liu Dahai's heart moved, could it be that Wei Zhongxian launched it?

So he hurriedly welcomed Wang Wencheng into the room. Before the tea was delivered, Wang Wencheng said eagerly to Liu Dahai: "Brother Qibo, have you heard any rumors in the past few days?" ”

In the past few days, the two of them have often met, spent public money, and entered and exited the Qinglou Chu Pavilion together, which can be regarded as a deep friendship. Coupled with Liu Dahai's deliberate flattery, the relationship between the two has become more and more warm, and it has reached the point of being called brothers.

When Liu Dahai heard Wang Wencheng say this, his heart was pounding. He felt that it should be Wei Zhongxian's side that exerted his strength. But he couldn't show it, and said in astonishment: "Brother Yuhua, the younger brother has been with you in the past few days, where can I listen to the news?" But listening to what my brother meant just now, didn't something big happen to the court? ”

I saw Wang Wencheng said angrily: "Brother Xian, you don't know! Then Wei Gelding actually opposed the canonization of Ryukyu on the grounds that Liu Pei's identity was unknown! ”

Liu Dahai was ecstatic in his heart, but there was a look of disbelief on his face, and he said: "This, this, how could Gonggong Wei oppose the canonization?" I have never been in contact with anyone in Dongchang, so how can I offend him? ”

Wang Wencheng stomped his feet and said: "Then Wei Gelding has always acted biasedly, so it doesn't matter if you offend him or not!" He is a eunuch, and he dares to manipulate the government, and he can't wait to hold everything in his hands! It can't be said that it is to show authority with the matter of canonization! If the old thief is really allowed to succeed, the canonization will drag on for a long time, and even the government will be further controlled in the hands of the old thief! ”

Liu Dahai said with annoyance: "What should I do then? I came to Beijing to be the teacher

For the sake of canonization, if the thing is not done, wouldn't it be a failure to live up to the trust of my king? ”

Wang Wencheng didn't look worried about the country and the people at this time, and said with a smile: "Brother Qibo, don't worry, I have contacted many colleagues to promote this matter together!" We must do things before Wei Gelding officially intervenes, so as to deal a blow to Wei Gelding's prestige in the court! ”

Liu Dahai immediately stood up and arched his hand and said, "Thank you, brother, for making it perfect!" I just don't know what my brother needs me to do? I want to do my part, too! ”

Wang Wencheng said reservedly: "Brother Xian, I know your feelings, but you can't interfere in the affairs of the court!" However, although they all have the same hatred for the eunuchs and their colleagues in the court, they are also divided into various factions within the court! It's still a bit difficult to get through them one by one! ”

Liu Dahai hurriedly said, "Brother, then what do I have to do?" ”

Wang Wencheng said: "I will try my best to help you contact some loyal and upright people in the court, so that they can speak before the emperor." It's just that this thing can't be done publicly, in case it is discovered by Wei Biao's minions, it will be inappropriate! Therefore, we can only convene everyone in the name of convening a cultural meeting, but I am afraid that there is a lot of money involved! ”

Liu Dahai scolded in his heart when he heard this, and said that what kind of loyal and upright person he was, he was not the same as reaching out to die in a coffin and asking for money! said so beautifully, in the end, it still comes down to money. But this is not spoken. So Liu Dahai said: "It's okay, you can't let others run for the affairs of my family king in vain!" The younger brother still has 20,000 taels of silver tickets here, if it is not enough, the younger brother can continue to raise it. ”

After speaking, Liu Dahai took out a stack of silver tickets from the cage and put them on the table. Wang Wencheng didn't care about his image at this time, and directly grabbed the silver ticket and counted it in his hand. After roughly counting it, he hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm afraid this silver is not enough." If you want to promote this matter, you need multiple yamen to work together, and it is very troublesome to coordinate! Brother Xian may raise another 10,000 taels of silver? ”

Liu Dahai scolded in his heart, this civil official's appearance is no worse than those eunuchs! In the past few days, it has cost thousands of silver just to invite them to enter and leave the Qinglou Chu Pavilion. This time, a mouth actually costs 30,000 taels of silver! However, it is the same as Wei Zhongxian's asking price. It seems that there are still rules in this court for asking for money and doing things, and the two sides have similar estimates of this matter! But he thought that he had never swallowed 10,000 taels of silver with Sun Yunhe in unison!

Liu Dahai thought so, but he couldn't say such things. I had to nod and say, "Brother, don't worry!" I will be able to raise another 10,000 taels of silver tomorrow, and I will send it to my brother's mansion when the time comes!" ”

Wang Wencheng shook his head and said, "Never! Wait for you and I to go out to drink tomorrow, and then the virtuous brother will give it to me again! If it's convenient, it's better to use a silver ticket, it's light and convenient! ”
