Chapter 519: I Came Back Alive
Shouning Houfu,
The housekeeper opened the door of the house, and three small servants poured out, sweeping the fallen leaves of the courtyard with brooms.
It has been half a year since the eldest and second masters returned to the West.
When Mrs. Jin also returns to the west, the imperial court will definitely take back the mansion, and I don't know how many people will be dismissed.
Thinking that he had to find another way out in his old age, the housekeeper sighed.
Zhang Heling stood in front of the mansion, so excited that he couldn't speak.
He went through hardships and dangers, fought wits and courage with the Japanese people, and was forced to be a Japanese for a while.
But now I'm finally back.
Yan Chengjin has made my two brothers so miserable, and when he comes back this time, he must be killed.
"Where did the exiles come from, this is the Hou Mansion."
"Quick, throw him out."
The housekeeper turned around and called the three little guys, but Zhang Heling slapped him in the face: "Lord Ben will throw you out first!" ”
This familiar feeling...... The housekeeper covered his face and looked like a ghost: "You...... Is it the master? ”
Zhang Heling pulled away a few locks of long hair in front of his forehead, revealing a dirty face and a beautiful beard that had not been trimmed for a long time.
was so scared that the three subordinates even lost the broom.
Hell in the daylight!
Seeing that the housekeeper was stunned, Zhang Heling kicked him again angrily: "Dead? Prepare me lunch before I die! ”
"Where's the second master?"
Zhang Heling just wanted to say it, but as soon as he said it, didn't he expose the silver mine overseas?
hurriedly had lunch, changed into a regular dress, and entered the palace with a receptacle card.
Warm Pavilion,
Emperor Hongzhi covered his mouth and yawned, and was about to take a nap.
At this moment, the little eunuch hurriedly came in: "Your Majesty, Hou Shouning is back." ”
The Zhang brothers disappeared for more than half a year, and they couldn't find them when they sent people to search the capital, thinking they were dead.
At this moment, Emperor Hongzhi was slightly surprised: "Order him to come in." ”
Zhang Heling changed into a regular suit, and he lost a lot of weight, and his regular clothes were a little wide.
After that, he fell to his knees and wept.
"Your Majesty, what a miserable minister! Yan Chengjin wanted to kill the minister, but the minister's younger brother was still overseas, and he was taken captive by the Japanese to wash and cook and pour night incense.
Every time I think of this, the minister can't sleep and eat. ”
He threw the gram on the ground, his hand clutching his heart, as if something was broken, and he was overwhelmed with grief.
Emperor Hongzhi grimaced and asked, "How did the Yan Qing family harm you?" ”
"The minister went to great lengths to give him the letter, but this dog official pretended not to know!"
Deliberately murdering princes and ministers?
Although Emperor Hongzhi didn't like the Zhang brothers, after all, he was the queen's brother and a relative of the emperor in the court.
Emperor Hongzhi cast an inquiring look at Mu Bin on the side.
Mu Bin hurriedly said: "Jinyi Wei monitors Yan Chengjin, but I haven't heard of it, maybe it's been too long......"
As long as it has nothing to do with the court, he usually does not report it unless Emperor Hongzhi asks.
I can't remember some of them.
Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhang Heling, his eyes revealing a fierce question.
With his understanding of Zhang Heling, he is much more shrewd than Zhang Yanling, how could he send a letter to Yan Chengjin.
This matter, when I think about it, I get tired.
"Your life is at stake, why did you send a letter to Yan Chengjin? Instead of sending a letter to me. ”
This......
Zhang Heling looked at Emperor Hongzhi blankly, hesitating whether to say anything.
When he was in the island country, his life was threatened, so he wanted to send a letter to the imperial court.
But now that he is back, he doesn't want the court to find out that the island has silver mines, and with His Majesty's frugal temperament, he won't give him a cent.
"The minister has a friendship with Yan Chengjin."
Who do you deceive, you brothers, who do you deceive?
Emperor Hongzhi looked at Xiao Jing and said, "Xuanyan Cheng Jinlai." ”
Metropolitan Inspectorate,
Yan Chengjin is revising the household law in the Daming Law, stipulating that the bride price shall not exceed fifty taels of silver.
In the homes of the common people and gentry, the bride price shall not exceed two taels.
After the promulgation of this law, it should be conducive to the prosperity of the population of the Ming Dynasty.
The little eunuch trotted in: "Lord Yan, Your Majesty announced you, the Marquis of Shouning is back, and he is suing you in front of the palace." ”
Yan Chengjin was a little surprised, the island country was in constant war, to the point of cannibalism.
There are Japanese robbers on the sea, how did Zhang Heling come back?
However, the letter has been burned by him, and the only person who can prove it is He Neng.
Zhang Heling asked for evidence, but he could only go through the Jinyi guards who were guarding outside the hospital.
Soon, he came to the outside of the Warm Pavilion Hall and heard the mournful cries in the hall.
When Zhang Heling saw Yan Chengjin, his eyes were red like enemies meeting him, and his eyes burst with hatred.
Emperor Hongzhi was the first to ask: "Yan Qingjia, did the Marquis of Shouning write you a letter asking for help?" ”
"The minister received a letter from the Japanese Kou, a crane was tied to a gold ingot, and he also wrote a paragraph, the virtuous nephew first supported 50,000 horses of silk to save me, etc., and I will repay it in the future.
The minister didn't know if it was written by the Marquis of Shouning. ”
"Yan Chengjin, who are you fooling! The old man writes clearly, will you not know? Zhang Heling cried to Emperor Hongzhi: "This son is usually very smart, how can he become stupid when he encounters a letter from a minister asking for help?" The minister doesn't believe it, the minister doesn't believe it! ”
Emperor Hongzhi felt that it made sense.
Yan Chengjin seems to be cautious on weekdays, but when he thinks about it carefully, he is a little smart.
Ancient poems and words pay attention to the meaning in the text, and after reading the books of sages for many years, guessing the meaning of the ancients has long been as easy as eating.
The letter was so simple that he couldn't have guessed it?
"Yan Chengjin?"
Yan Chengjin thought about it carefully and said: "The minister did suspect it, but what the gold ingots were, the minister couldn't guess, and besides, he had to support 50,000 pieces of silk, and the minister felt that it was more like an impostor and blackmailer, so he didn't ......."
Even the Empress Dowager Ji's clansmen are pretended to be, let alone the Guogong.
Emperor Hongzhi's gaze fell on Zhang Heling again: "I just want to ask you, what is this Golden Ingot Treasure Mountain, and why did you deliberately write a letter to Yan Qing's family?" ”
When Yan Chengjin saw Zhang Heling's distraction, he knew that he wanted to swallow the stone and see the silver mine alone.
The island country has three huge silver mines.
Iwami Silver Mine, Sado Silver Mine, Ikuno Silver Mine!
The amount of silver stored in each of these mines is equivalent to the total amount of silver mined by the imperial court today, and you know how huge they are.
The Ikuno silver mine will not be discovered for decades.
Because there are too many silver mines stored, it is also known as the Ikuno Silver Mountain.
But he couldn't tell Emperor Hongzhi in a grand manner.
Zhang Heling's eyes flickered, he thought for a long time, and he insisted: "The minister has a relationship with Yan Chengjin, has done business, and in private, he is called an uncle and nephew." ”
"Shou Ninghou is not joking, this is a big crime of fornicating with national relatives." Yan Chengjin seriously cleared up the relationship.
Emperor Hongzhi squinted his eyes slightly and looked at Zhang Heling.
Although I knew that he was hiding something, I couldn't guess what he was hiding.
"Where's Jian Changbo?"
"He's in the island country...... If you travel overseas, you will come back after a while, and your majesty does not have to worry. ”
"The minister doesn't want to sue Yan Chengjin anymore."
Emperor Hongzhi felt strange, and Yan Chengjin also felt strange.
According to the character of the Zhang brothers, if you can't sue Your Majesty, you have to sue Queen Zhang.
But today, it is so reasonable.
Coming out of the hall, Zhang Heling hurriedly walked up a few steps, with a smile on his face: "Virtuous nephew, Shibo wants to rent you five big ships." ”
Five twelve-masted ships, all equipped with the Hongyi general.
Recruit another 10,000 displaced people, and you will be able to go to sea to collect silver.
Yan Chengjin knew that Zhang Heling wanted to go to sea and swallow the stone and see the silver mine alone.
The reason why Daming treasure banknotes have no credibility is that money banks only issue treasure banknotes, but there is no corresponding silver deposit.
Once a large run occurs, the money bank cannot redeem the silver, and the treasure money is worthless.
The Daming silver mine is barren, if you can pocket three silver mines......
The Zhang brothers want to monopolize it, but how can they tell His Majesty?
