Today's Wuqing Marquis Li Gao is the maiden nephew of the Queen Mother, that is, the eldest cousin of the current emperor. According to the folk saying, if Li Gao does not speak when the queen mother dies, the old Zhu family will not be able to bury the queen mother.

Of course, the rules of the royal family definitely don't require the emperor to kneel down to his eldest cousin, nor do they need to cut the old cousin or something. Therefore, when the Queen Mother died, Li Gao was still very low-key.

After all, the death of his aunt is the biggest loss to his Li family, and his Li family's reputation has always been bad. Whether it is a civilian official or a military general, all of them "look at the Wuqing Marquis Mansion differently".

If my aunt is here, the old cousin will not dare to take the old Li family when the sky falls, and now that my aunt is gone, Li Gao must think about whether his cousin will not read the old expression one day and give him the Li family a hard blow.

For this reason, Li Gao has sincerely supported Lao Biao to do great things in recent years.

He is the most staunch supporter of His Majesty's maritime undertakings, and he is also the one who has purchased the most maritime bonds among the emperor's relatives and relatives, accumulating 300 bonds, with a total of 300,000 taels of silver and 80,000 taels of dividends.

Li Gao hopes to express his support for his cousin and the Li family's support for the country through real money. Sure enough, after hearing that he had invested a lot in maritime affairs, his cousin issued a rare edict and reward.

Of course, the will only said that Li Gao behaved very well in all aspects when the Queen Mother died, and his filial piety was first-class, so he gave pigs, sheep, melons, eggplants and other things to show condolences, and nothing else.

The meaning of the old watch's will, since there is no need for Li Gao to ponder, he only knows that he can finally be peaceful, the old Li family Mo said that he and the Ming Dynasty share weal and woe, and there is no problem with the five generations of wealth.

No matter how this account is calculated, it is cost-effective, take out 300,000 taels, 80,000 taels have been recovered, and the remaining 220,000 taels have not been returned, but they still have to be distributed according to the number of 300,000 taels.

The old watch is in one day, the maritime office is one day, he Wuqing Marquis Mansion can pay dividends twice a year, and in a few days, the principal will be recovered, and the dividends will be given, where can I find this good thing that I can't find with a lantern?

Therefore, as soon as he heard that his niece Shou Ning came to say that someone wanted to harm the maritime affairs, Li Gao was furious and went into the palace to find the old cousin to tell the gang of people in the Donglin Party.

The Hou Ye on the front foot had just arrived, and before he could talk to the old watch, the five horses on the back foot, Wan Wei and his wife, arrived. Later, Shou Ning and the fourth princess Yongning also arrived.

In the past, Li Gao and Wan Wei were very incompatible, one looked down on the other party as a businessman who was born in a profit, and the other looked down on the other party as a small family.

As a rich man, they are all royal relatives, and the relationship between the brother-in-law and his cousin-in-law is not to talk about gathering crowds to fight, but only to fight.

This Wendou is also fighting for wealth.

The two of them are holding back their strength and fighting hard, and they have to press each other over. On weekdays, unless they have to be there, the two of them don't want to meet, and even if they meet, they are more energetic openly and secretly, but this time the two of them look at each other as if they have a heart, and they all agree to say yes to Xiao Wei's father-in-law.

Wan Juma can't help but say that his eldest niece has "promoted" him 240,000 taels of bonds before and after. Although his family is rich, he took out 240,000 taels at once, which also affected the flesh and skin. Therefore, no matter what, this money cannot be wasted, Shou Ning made it clear that the silver used to sell bonds was all taken by Xiao Wei's father-in-law to invest in the sea, if this little Wei's father-in-law is yellow, then the money must also be yellow.

As an uncle, can Wan Juma be embarrassed to ask his niece for money, and embarrassed to ask his brother-in-law for money?

Therefore, he had to take his wife into the palace and tell his brother-in-law that he should be careful that there are bad people among the courtiers outside, and don't let others deceive him.

Li Houye and Wan Juma said that it was still more pertinent, saying that the maritime affairs were not easy to do, and the little Wei father-in-law worked hard for this, and a few hairs were missing, which just had a little eyebrows, the emperor must not listen to the slander and recall the little Wei father-in-law, otherwise the maritime industry would be wasted, and the white flowers and silver that were invested in the early stage would also be wasted...

"Alright, I know what you're talking about."

As he spoke, Wanli looked at Princess Yongning, the fourth sister who entered with her daughter Shouning, and her eyes were full of distress. Wanli has always felt guilty and distressed about this sister, and he dealt with Feng Bao heavily back then, and there was also a reason to be angry for this sister. If it weren't for Feng Bao's greed for money, how could the royal golden branch and jade leaf marry a dying nagging ghost!

"Brother Huang."

Yongning couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw that her cousin Li Gao and her sister Ruian were also there, she glanced at her niece Shou Ning, who nodded slightly, and suddenly thought that Shou Ning was afraid that she would not be able to persuade her father, so she called Wu Qinghou and Ruian Concubine.

Wanli waved his hand to the chamberlain and motioned to move a few stools.

"Your Majesty, those officials of science and Taoism have nothing to do, they always think that they can do it in the world, and one by one they are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, this maritime affairs are not easy to do, Your Majesty can't be abolished because of their slander." Wan Wei said angrily.

"I said it, I know."

Wanli will also be a little temperamental, because the General Administration Department sent dozens of notes to the palace in the afternoon to impeach Wei Liangchen, and the concubine somehow heard about it, and complained to herself with a big belly, saying that the people outside were impeaching Xiao Wei in the open, and secretly they were still coming to her as a concubine, and the emperor really wanted to send someone to recall Xiao Wei, I am afraid that someone would turn over the old case and put her Zheng family to death.

In order to reassure the concubine, Wanli sent the chamberlain out of the palace to send a message to Yang Lian, asking him not to knock on the door tomorrow. These officials are also well-fed, and they make a big fuss about trivial things, don't they know that Wei Liangchen was sent to Jiangnan by himself.

The so-called thousand-mile causeway was destroyed in the anthill, if Wei Liangchen was recalled after listening to the words of the official, Wanli was sure that the song that then asked for a mine strike and tax withdrawal would fly into the palace like snowflakes.

"I have sent people away, so you don't have to worry."

Wanli said this to his eldest cousin and brother-in-law, who knew that these two were the largest buyers of maritime bonds, so he was very worried about maritime problems.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Li Wei highly praised the old cousin, and wanted to talk more with the old cousin and deepen the relationship, but a eunuch outside came in to report that it was the first assistant Shen Shixing who received the Suzhou government newspaper that he had passed away.

Wanli was stunned, he heard that Shen Shixing was eighty years old, and specially sent an envoy to ask, why did the teacher die in less than half a month.

Thinking of all the things when Shen Shixing was there, Wanli couldn't help but feel sad, and asked the inner servant to pass on the edict of the Ministry of Rites to give Shen Xianggong the prince and the prince, set a nickname, and give sacrifices.

Just after dealing with the death of Shen Shixing, the chamberlain came to report that the national abbot and Uncle Zheng Guo had invited him to see His Majesty.
