Chapter Seventy-Nine: Loyal Servant

"Li Yongzhen?"

Zhu Changxun, who was discussing with the eunuch Wang Kun about returning to the domain tomorrow, heard the report from the porter and was very strange, because he was not familiar with this Li Yongzhen, and there was no contact between the two. I only know that this person was imprisoned for offending Queen Wang, and then somehow got the opportunity to ask his father to release Ren to Dongchang to take Cao Jukui's position.

"Did Lone see him?" Zhu Changxun couldn't make up his mind, so he asked Wang Kun what he meant.

Wang Kun thought that Li Yongzhen is now one of the four heads of the East Factory, and he is also a person under the name of the eunuch Jin Zhong, no better than the prisoners in the prison back then, and King Fu Zonggui is the prince, but he still can't slack off on this upstart in the East Factory. Besides, at this juncture, Li Yongzhen suddenly came to visit His Royal Highness, and he was afraid that something would happen, so he invited Li Yongzhen into the palace with King Fu.

"Li Yongzhen is quite powerful now, His Royal Highness is about to become a vassal, and the people in the factory guard should pay more respects." Wang Kun reminded.

Hearing this, Zhu Changxun nodded, ordered someone to invite Li Yongzhen into the lobby, and then smiled bitterly at Wang Kun and said: "I went to Luoyang alone, I'm afraid that in the future, even miscellaneous petty officials will come to bully me." ”

This statement is not Zhu Changxun's hypocritical complaint, but it is a fact. There are all kinds of restrictions on the ancestral system of this dynasty, once the prince becomes a vassal, he is like a captive person, and the civil and military officials where the palace is located are all monitoring his eyes and ears. Don't say that it is difficult to come to Jing again, even if you go out of the house to go shopping, it will be difficult.

What can Wang Kun say, His Highness is certainly like this, and so is his great companion.

I think that in this world, there are a few good fortunes like Jiajingye.

When he went to Luoyang, he was afraid that it would be difficult for his master and servant to enter the Beijing Division in his lifetime.

.........

After Li Yongzhen was invited in, he was led to the lobby by the people in the palace, and before he could wait, King Fu came over.

"Slave Li Yongzhen see His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness Chitose Chitose Chitose!" Li Yongzhen was very respectful.

"Father-in-law Li, please get up!"

King Fu walked forward quickly, personally helped Li Yongzhen to get up, and then exchanged a few polite words with Li Yongzhen.

"Father-in-law, please be seated."

King Fu motioned for Li Yongzhen to sit down, and ordered someone to serve tea. Li Yongzhen was very respectful, saying that there was no seat for him in front of His Highness.

King Fu also gave up, it stands to reason that Li Yongzhen is the head of the four major stalls in Dongchang, but he is also his father's domestic slave, so he is also his domestic slave. Politeness is politeness, but some courtesies cannot be lost.

"I don't know why Gonggong Li is visiting?" Wang Kun knocked on the side.

Li Yongzhen hurriedly bowed to King Fu and said, "Your Highness, Yongzhen is here to send a letter to His Highness by Gonggong Wei. ”

With that, he took out a letter sealed with wax from his sleeve and handed it over.

Grandpa Wei?

King Fu and Wang Kun were both confused, and they didn't know which one Li Yongzhen was talking about this Wei Gonggong.

Taking the envelope, King Fu glanced at it, and saw that it was written on it His Royal Highness King Fu Gongqi, and the payment was made by Admiral Wei, the Minister of Maritime Affairs. I can't help but think of who this Wei Gonggong is, isn't it Wei Liangchen who is praised by the mother concubine and Shouning's sister!

Speaking of this Wei Liangchen, His Royal Highness King Fu has a very good impression, because in the past two years, the palace has always received gifts from Wei Liangchen's trustees, and sometimes his sister Shouning personally came to send them. The boiling demon case a few days ago was also suppressed by Wei Liangchen's advice from his father, and then he took the Dongchang to handle this project.

If his mother and grandfather Zheng family were implicated, how could he, His Royal Highness the Blessed King, be better. said a thousand ways and ten thousand, and the ultimate beneficiaries are His Royal Highness the King of Blessings.

Thinking about those days, my uncle and grandfather's mansion were surrounded by brocade guards, and there was no news of my mother in the palace, which really scared King Fu.

Fortunately, in the end, this Wei father-in-law returned their innocence.

Therefore, in public and private, King Fu really likes this little Wei father-in-law in his heart. Not to mention that his sister Shou Ning often told his brother that Xiao Wei Gonggong was good, and every time the mother concubine saw him, she also praised the little Wei Gonggong from time to time, saying that now the intimate person around her is also Xiao Wei.

The implication is that his son does not have to guard against Xiao Wei, and he can explain anything to him. King Fu knows this, in the previous demon case, the concubine's inner servants Pang Bao, Liu Cheng, and Jiang Lishan were all involved in the case, and finally Pang Bao and Jiang Lishan were executed, Liu Cheng was beaten, and there was really no powerful person available around his mother.

And this little Wei father-in-law is really capable of doing things, and he has the weight of his father, specializing in maritime affairs, and he has a promising future, and he may be able to enter the ceremonial supervisor one day. With such a close person in an important position in the inner court, he blessed the king and returned to the vassal, and the palace also helped to prevent being slandered.

It's just that King Fu and Xiao Wei's father-in-law don't have much contact, so the two sides are strictly unfamiliar. And it is reported that this little Wei father-in-law was ordered by his father to leave Beijing on an errand, and it seems that there was a bit of a turmoil in Liaodong, why did he suddenly write to himself?

With doubts, King Fu tore open the wax seal, and inside was three pieces of letter paper.

After reading them one by one, King Fu's face changed from confused at first to incomprehensible, and then suddenly brightened, and finally, he couldn't hide his joy.

Wang Kun looked strange on the side, but he didn't dare to look at it, and it was only when King Fu showed him these three pieces of letter paper that he knew why His Highness was like this.

It turned out that the little Wei Gonggong was very deferential to His Royal Highness in the letter, saying that he was supported by the Zheng family and the concubine to have today, and the so-called people who drink water do not forget the people who dig water, so he Wei Liangchen does not dare to forget the great grace of the concubine in this life, and is willing to treat His Royal Highness King Fu with 10,000% sincerity...

It is also known as the Jiangnan Maritime Special Zone, which is ordered by His Majesty to be brought up by King Fu, so from this year onwards, the Maritime Special Zone will pay 30,000 taels of silver to the Fuwang Mansion in Luoyang every year. King Fu is driven, and his father-in-law of Xiao Wei and the Jiangnan Maritime Yamen will also do their best.

In short, two pieces of letter paper were sprinkled, and the image of a loyal servant was sketched on the paper, and the lucky king was moved by a good life.

It's just that these alone are nothing, and they are not worth the reaction of King Fu and Wang Kun.

What really made them ecstatic was what was said on the last piece of paper.

It turned out that when this little Wei Gonggong asked King Fu to resign from the East Palace, he must be respectful, bow four times, and say goodbye to the crown prince, showing the scene of brother Yiyi, and must not let the officials of the outer court and the well-intentioned people in the inner court pick out any thorns. He also asked King Fu to go to the palace no matter what, and bid farewell to his parents with a pure heart.

In order to reassure King Fu, Xiao Wei's father-in-law had offered 20,000 taels of silver to the prince in the name of King Fu, and arranged a generous gift to the prince's favorite concubine Xi Li.

"So that His Highness knows that Gonggong Wei has entrusted someone to lobby the people in the Dao, and His Majesty should be able to receive a lot of notes tomorrow, if nothing else, His Highness may be able to return to the province once a year."

When Li Yongzhen said this, it was very meaningful.

Returning to the province once a year means that you can return to Beijing once a year.
