Chapter 395: Forming a Group
In addition to sighing, he said, "Although the dispatch of troops is a headache, but the grain and grass are the most critical, if there is no grain and grass, the three general soldiers may not send troops" said and sighed: "The lower officials have been preparing for the grain and grass in the past few days, and their heads are almost open, what the overseer said just now is for the grain and grass, can you solve this headache for the lower officials."
"Don't be impatient, don't be impatient," Chang Yu chuckled: "There is some surplus in the treasury at this time, the emperor Xu San has a total of 50,000 silver per soldier, and they will definitely send troops, as for grain and grass, our family has united dozens of grain merchants to prepare grain and grass for the army to be transported to the front line, although the lord takes office, concentrate on killing the enemy."
With a bang, Shi Kefa stood up and looked at Chang Yu with a look of horror, the eunuch in front of him was too unfathomable, he had a headache for several days, and the little eunuch actually solved it while talking and laughing, no wonder he won the emperor's heart at a young age, and he still underestimated him.
Not to mention him, Zhu Cihong, who didn't even say a word, was secretly shocked, Chang Yu had only been back for a few days, and he had secretly done so many things.
As for him didn't say a word, it's not that he can't interject, but he can't say it, he is the crown prince, he can't interfere in politics, even if he makes a suggestion, at least this kind of public scene can't do it, he came over with Chang Yu, just like listening to politics with the court, he can only listen, can't speak, as for how to talk in private, that's another matter, it's absolutely not okay in front of the ministers, the courtiers can't accept it, and Chongzhen can't accept it, this is the rule!
On the way back to the East Palace, Zhu Cihong couldn't hold back any longer: "How did you solve the grain and grass?" "After all, according to the rules, if there is a war, the grain and grass are generally connected by the household department and the military department, and if there is grain, it must be allocated directly, and if there is none, the state treasury must allocate money to the household department or the military department to procure...... All kinds of procedures, all kinds of troublesome middlemen.
And at this time in the Ming Dynasty, the treasury has no money, no food, and the place is also poor, you have to go to war, no food and grass naturally can't work, the treasury can't be allocated, you will ask for food from the local cities, some may give you some, some will say that there is no don't give, if you don't give it, you won't have anything to eat, the soldiers either don't fight, or they will rob it directly, all kinds of black smoke miasma can't get on the table is dirty things, in this period is simply too much.
But Chang Yu's words just now made Zhu Cihong really surprised and puzzled, what does it mean to find a grain merchant to supply grain? The emperor agreed? Will the Cabinet agree? Will the household department in charge of the money agree? What other grain chamber is so bold, so stupid to take this business, not to mention small profits, it is bitter, tiring and dangerous......
At least the emperor will agree, and the first assistant of the cabinet will definitely agree! When the two of them whispered in the East Palace for half an hour, Zhu Cihong said to Chang Yu with confidence: "I'll go to see my father, he will definitely agree!" You're really too smart."
Standing under the corridor of the main hall, looking at Zhu Cihong's figure leaving in a hurry, Chang Yu rubbed his head, thinking that I am a very smart ball, but I am just picking up people's teeth.
At this time, Fang San hurriedly walked over, and he was sweating hotly: "Outside the Qianqing Gate, the three dukes, seven marquis and nine uncles are jointly named Linhuai Marquis and Yangwu Marquis with grievances, and they want to impeach you for framing Zhongliang, bending and beating you into tricks, and creating unjust ......cases."
Hehe, Chang Yu sneered: "The three princes are here?" "At this time in the Ming Dynasty, there were five princes, one in Yunnan, one in Nanjing, and the remaining three in Beijing.
"It's all here!" Fang San nodded: "It's all outside the Qianqing door."
"Lao Tzu's face is big enough, he actually came in a group" The corners of Chang Yu's mouth raised: "What did the emperor say?" ”
"The emperor said that this matter has been supervised by the East Factory, and he will wait for the results of the investigation to come out, and let them disperse, but these old men will not give up, and they will not leave, and they heard that the three law divisions are also making trouble, and said that they want to audit."
The three law divisions are, the criminal department, the inspector and the Dali Temple, and major cases are generally tried by these three yamen together, commonly known as the three law divisions.
Moreover, Chang Yu rolled his eyes: "What qualifications does the Three Law Division have to listen to the case of our East Factory."
He is right, Dongchang is so awesome, the power is greater than that of Jinyiwei, and he is only responsible to the emperor, no matter whether he takes people, tries people, or kills people, he does not need the consent of other judicial institutions.
"But it's so small that I feel like they're a little out of the way and won't give up! It's been a morning! Fang San said in a low voice.
"That's natural, the reason why they are so strong, on the public is worried about the resurgence of the East Factory, and just like in the Wei Zhongxian period, on private interests, which one doesn't want to kill me" Chang Yu sighed softly: "So, in this case, I want Chunxiang to take out human and physical evidence, make them speechless, and let them know that although my East Factory is arrogant, I will never do anything wrong!" ”
"But they are making such a fuss outside the Qianqing Gate, it is obviously aimed at the East Factory and the factory company" Fang San looked very angry, "Are these people full of food every day and have nothing to do?"
"You're right, they really just have nothing to do when they're full" Chang Yu laughed: "Let them make trouble, even if the three law divisions want to listen, what am I afraid of?" Saying that, he waved his hand and didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, so he asked Fang Sandao: "Gong Fu Ma Ye can enter the palace today?" ”
"It's coming! The little one just saw him in Qianqingmen" Fang San said and scratched his head: "Anyway, this concubine is also full of food every day and has nothing to do, Princess Le'an died of illness before, and the concubine was grief-stricken, and the emperor allowed him to keep filial piety at home, but these days I don't know why, he always comes into the palace to wander, and he looks like he has nothing to do."
Chang Yu smiled and said nothing, although Gong Yonggu is a concubine, he has no official title, he has no power and power, to put it bluntly, he is indeed an idler, but he is the most trusted royal prince at the end of Chongzhen, and he often enters the palace to accompany the monarch, and he can go to the palace to wander around if he has nothing to do.
Of course, he seems to be wandering around in the palace these days, but in fact, he is ordered to investigate all kinds of news, grasp the direction of the wind, win over the camp, and work for Changyu, the prince, and Chongzhen.
"You go to find the master of the horse, just say that our family has something to do with him" Chang Yu instructed Fang San.
"Is it here?" Fang San asked.
Well, Chang Yu nodded, and then said, "Let's go to the Yamen of Neidongchang...... Let's go to Banzai Mountain".
During the day, there are many people in the palace, and the more secret he meets with Gong Yonggu, the more he will be criticized, it is better to find a place that is both bright and less crowded, even if he is seen, he thinks it is a chance encounter.
As soon as Fang San's front foot left, Chang Yu left the East Palace and headed south, he planned to go out from the Donghua Gate and go around the Long Live Mountain.
The nearest road from the East Palace to Long Live Mountain, of course, is to run north from the Qianqing Gate through the harem from the Xuanwu Gate to come out of the nearest one, but there are many courtiers outside the Qianqing Gate, especially heard that those nobles are here, if he passes, there is no need to entangle, and although the palace door of the harem is open during the day, but the eunuchs and palace maids who are not on duty generally do not pass, after all, it is the emperor's private residence, although he passes through it as no one cares or stops, but with his low-key and cautious character, why bother, take a walk around the road.
Not far to the south of Duanben Palace is the office building of Wenyuan Pavilion, which is the cabinet, and there are always a lot of figures coming in and out here, Chang Yu seems to have an incomparable curiosity about this place, and he can't help but stop and look at it every time he passes by.
The people in this building control the fate of tens of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty, and even the power of the emperor is controlled by it, and this is the center of the power center.
After watching for a while, Chang Yu left silently, and wanted to turn left directly to go out from Donghua Gate, and suddenly saw a group of eunuchs and palace maids gathered in front of the Huangji Gate (formerly Fengtianmen, now Taihe Gate) in front of the west to probe what was looking in the direction of the south noon gate.
Chang Yu was curious, turned his head and walked over.
