Chapter 128: Shou Ninghou, the mastermind behind the scenes
Xie Qian glanced at Li Dongyang and said with a calm face: "Sven? Look at what Ye Qi did, since the change from the grain to the silver, the Ye family's salt business has increased sharply, and now, the salt of the entire Lianghuai salt field is fully forty percent of his Ye family, after this happened, what do you make Your Majesty think? Why didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince think about it? “
"Then you can't just raid your house and arrest people!" Li Dongyang's face was slightly red, this is indeed not a very glorious thing to say.
Xie Qian wanted to say something, Liu Jian raised his hand to interrupt him, and then said: "This matter is not said so, and the top priority is not the Ye family's business, but His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is young, although he is young and old, and he is very assertive, but he can't stop some people's constant demagogy, if the prince feels that the important ministers in the court are like Ye Qi, it will be troublesome." ”
"I really didn't expect this Mu Bin to be so hateful, he was humble and benevolent when he was in the capital, but he didn't expect that he would be exposed in his true form when he left the capital, and he dared to bewitch the prince, which is a great crime." Li Dongyang hurriedly agreed.
Xie Qian glanced at Li Dongyang and didn't answer, obviously Li Dongyang was going to trample on Mu Bin to death, and then fish out the Ye family, it seems that the Ye family probably sent him a lot of money. It's not that Xie Qian spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but it's not a strange thing for Beijing officials to accept local filial piety, and the same is true for cabinet scholars, but I don't know how deeply Li Dongyang is involved.
After pondering for a moment, Xie Qian said: "I'm afraid that I have taken refuge in Shouning Hou, Liu Gong, Li Gong, and the dictatorship of Daming's relatives are coming." “
Listening to Xie Qian's words, Li Dongyang and Liu Jian's faces have changed, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor has been pursuing the emperor to marry a folk woman, in this way, the relatives are not enough in terms of quality or status, they can only get a verbal title of honorable relatives, and the dictatorship of the relatives is impossible, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty to the present, there has never been such a thing.
"If Mu Bin of Jinyiwei also takes refuge in Shouninghou, counting Yang Peng of Dongchang, I am afraid that he will be more powerful than Wang Zhi and other eunuchs, and the disaster will be even more serious." Xie Qian added.
"We're going to stop this!" Li Dongyang raised his head and looked at Liu Jian, waiting for the first assistant scholar of the cabinet to speak.
After pondering for a long time, Liu Jian nodded slowly: "Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has never been a dictatorship of relatives, for the country and the people, we all have to stop the dictatorship of Shouning, where do you think we should start?" Now if you want to deal with Shou Ninghou directly, I'm afraid it's not easy! ”
"Start with this time, start with Mu Bin!" Li Dongyang preemptively said: "If Mu Bin is knocked down, then Shou Ninghou's line in Jinyiwei will be broken, this is an opportunity, and you can't give it up." “
Xie Qian glanced at Li Dongyang again, and did not answer Li Dongyang's question, but asked rhetorically: "If Your Majesty asks about the Ye family's affairs, how to deal with it?" How do we answer? ”
The three of them were silent again, of course the three of them knew how to answer, that is, the Ye family should be severely punished, but if this kind of words are spoken, they will be opposed by many people, and the people below will not be appeased. Among the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, no one has any business, but it is not as explicit as the Ye family. After a while, Liu Jian glanced at Li Dongyang, and then said: "The crime that should be there must be investigated, but the dignity that should be there must be." ”
Liu Jian's words were also very clear, that is, the Ye family wanted to investigate, and the punishment should be punished, and Ye Qi still had to be appropriately lenient at that time.
Hearing Liu Jian say this, Li Dongyang immediately spoke: "What Liu Gong said makes sense! ”
Xie Qian glanced at the two of them, shook his head, and finally said, "Then do as you say!" With that, he stood up and walked back to his seat.
With the tacit support of the three cabinet scholars, the court began to overthrow Mou, and the impeachment of Mu Bin was sent to the inner court like a storm, and there were voices criticizing Mu Bin everywhere inside and outside the capital. For a time, inside and outside the capital, Mu Bin became a figure that everyone shouted at, and his reputation soared, and for a while, Mu Bin's reputation caught up with his predecessor Ji Gang.
For a while, the whole capital was turbulent, and the voice of Mu Bin was everywhere, which made many people baffled, such as Zhang Heling, the mastermind behind this incident.
Shouning Hou Mansion.
Zhang Heling put down the letter in his hand, then stood up with a laugh, and said to Zhang Yanling beside him: "Yangzhou has already started, our people have begun to take over the business of the salt road, the salt ship and the salt shop have all been bought, the first batch of ships has been shipped, our family's salt road business is on the right track, we are about to make a lot of money!" ”
Seeing the happy appearance of the eldest brother, Zhang Yanling was naturally happy, and this time the business of Yandao naturally had his share.
"Great!" Zhang Yanling also said with a smile: "I have been busy for so long, after all, my efforts have not been in vain, and I have not worked in vain!" ”
"yes!" Zhang Heling also sighed, and then said: "There is one more thing, this letter also mentions some shops copied from Yangzhou over there, Qinglou Casino, and there are warehouses and restaurants. ”
After listening to the eldest brother's words, Zhang Yanling stood up directly and said, "Yes, brother, yes!" It's all money. “
"What is Yangzhou? Wrap 100,000 yuan in your waist, ride a crane down to Yangzhou, and do these businesses in Yangzhou, you can make a lot of money, so I will go to Yangzhou in person. Zhang Yanling said with some excitement: "When the time comes, all these transactions will be opened, the only problem is silver, do we have so much cash?" ”
Although the Hou Ning Mansion is the uncle, but this uncle is only a new uncle, this is only a dozen years of military career, the family is not much, the net worth is not much, relying on gifts to get some money, thinking of the previous days, Shou Ninghou has a feeling of wanting to cry, His Royal Highness the Prince is too right, he is like a dog raised by others, he is really too difficult.
"You don't have to worry about money!" Zhang Heling waved his hand, and then said: "You can do it, I will find a way to pay the money, but I really can't go into the palace and beg my sister to let my sister have some time." ”
Zhang Yanling nodded, the matter fell on his sister, so naturally there was no problem, after thinking about it, Zhang Yanling asked again: "Brother, there are rumors about you and Mu Bin outside, what is going on?" ”
"Mu Bin?" Zhang Heling was stunned for a moment: "That Mu Bin of Jinyiwei? I don't know anything about him! ”
