Chapter 74 Qianyuan Festival (2) The summons of the Queen Mother
Meng Ming felt that he was sitting on a fire at this time, and he had been burned to the outside. At this time, two small yellow doors came over and stopped in front of Meng Ming and Yelu Yanni respectively, to convey Yi's will. Liu E wants to summon the two. The two of them, led by these two little yellow doors, walked towards the harem. Through the corridor and alley, through a lot of pavilions and pavilions, and finally came to a palace, on which the plaque reads "Cining Palace" three words. Entering the hall, I saw Liu E sitting on the Taishi chair, Zhao Mingyue sitting on the left, Meng Ming hurriedly stepped forward to meet him, Yelu Yanni also came to ask for peace, Liu E waved his hand to excuse himself, and gave the two of them a seat. Zhao Mingyue looked at the two people who came together with some annoyance, the expression was simply saying "a pair of adulterers and adulteresses", Meng Ming sat beside her, looked at her flatteringly, and said: "Lady, these days are good, my husband misses you very much." I only heard Zhao Mingyue's "hum", and I didn't reply, so I twisted my head to the side and turned my back to Meng Ming, which made Meng Ming embarrassed. Liu E was intuitively amused when she saw this scene, but she still said reservedly: "Mingyue can't be like this, you are Meng Ming's wife, even if you don't, you can't treat him like this in front of outsiders, don't be rude and willful." If you have grievances, the mourning family will make decisions for you. Wait for me to ask him."
Liu E asked Meng Mingsheng sternly: "Meng Yuma, it is rumored that you and the third princess of Liao are entangled and have a personal relationship, but there is such a thing?!" Please be honest with you. Meng Ming shouted that he was wronged, saying that he and Yelu Yanni were innocent, and there was no trespassing or deviance, and Liu E no longer paid attention to him after hearing it.
Liu E looked at Yelu Yanni again, and asked in a harmonious voice: "Niece Yanni, Meng Ming has done you wrong, is your relationship as rumored." The mourning family also treats you as their niece, you can say anything in your heart, and the mourning family will not blame you. At this time, Yelu Yanni got up and said to Liu E: "Thank you Aunt Queen Mother for your love, Yanni is ashamed, since Meng Lang saved me, I have a deep affection for him; So this time, I also came to meet Meng Ming under the banner of coming to the Great Song Dynasty to see you; This time, the marriage lottery drawn in the Daxiangguo Temple, the senior monks in the temple explained, saying that Meng Ming and I are destined to become husband and wife, and we will be able to reconcile with each other. So I don't care about my noble status, let alone the woman's reserve, I just want to be with Meng Lang. To the Queen Mother's aunt to fulfill me and Meng Lang. After saying that, he stood aside and was silent.
Liu E pondered for a moment, and also had a headache, at that time, for the good deeds of Yucheng Zhao Mingyue, it took a lot of effort, both soft and hard, that is, he had done the intimidation of the wicked, and he put down his body and begged each other, and thought of various ways to let Zhao Mingyue get what he wanted, and the lover finally became a family. But Yelu Yanni is not easy to deal with, she is the princess of Liao, and her identity is also noble, even if she is willing, the Liao Emperor will not agree, and if it is not handled well, it may cause disputes between Song and Liao.
Liu E could only not come forward and kick the ball back. She said with a smirk: "Niece Yanni, I understand your affection for Meng Xiaozi when you say this, but this matter can't be hasty, you should tell your father and mother first, and you have to earn their consent; Besides, Meng Xiaozi is already married, two equal wives, you follow him, where do you put yourself; You definitely can't be a concubine, even if you agree, your father and queen mother will definitely not agree, which will damage the face of the royal family. You have to think about it carefully, don't be presumptuous. ”
Yelu Yanni actually knew very well in her heart that she and Meng Ming were in great difficulty together, but at this time, she was already determined and decided to give it a go and fight for her happiness. Liu E's words did not dispel her thoughts, but they strengthened her determination. Liu E had already seen her intentions, and she also sighed and said, "Ask what the love in the world is, it's up to you." Then he told her to step down.
At this time, Liu E left Meng Ming in the palace, not only for him and Yelu Yanni's affairs, but also for other things. First of all, the issue of new money, Meng Ming was ready to get off the banquet, so he went to the scene of the issuance of new money to see, this did not go after the banquet to meet Yelu Yanni, and then the queen mother's summons, so he did not go for the time being; Then there is the establishment of the royal company, Meng Ming has given Liu E relevant suggestions before, he also partnered with the royal family to set up the royal bus company, after he recovered the cost, his share was reduced to forty percent, the royal sixty percent, this is not only the royal bus company to the palace brought 300,000 yuan of income, so Liu E is very satisfied, and is more interested in Meng Ming's related suggestions, because each of Meng Ming's suggestions can bring considerable benefits.
Meng Ming was preparing to establish the Great Song Commercial Bank, hoping to increase his influence with the help of the golden signboard of the royal family. Therefore, Meng Ming had a ventilation with Liu E in advance and also wrote a charter. Meng Ming is now ready for everything, only owes the east wind, which is the issue of reserves, that is, about the mining of silver mines and gold mines, and the corresponding mining qualifications must be obtained through the participation of the royal family. So Meng Ming found Liu E and Zhao Zhen, and raised the issue of the mining rights of silver and gold-related minerals, and finally she issued an official ticket for mining the mine, which was stamped by her, and the palace has the right to mine salt, iron, copper, silver, and gold, but there are also restrictions, and it must be approved and issued by the political hall and the three envoys, and it also prevents the royal family from issuing official tickets for mining indiscriminately, competing with the people for profit, and affecting the people's livelihood.
Meng Ming's Da Song Commercial Bank, since all official procedures such as his official ticket for mining and bank business license were stamped with the official seals of Zhengzhitang and Sansi, and then were kept on file by the government, they began to enter the fast lane of preparation.
At this time, Meng Ming had finished reporting to Liu E and Zhao Zhen, so he left the palace and went to the third envoy Li Di to discuss the issue of new currency issuance.
