After getting Zhu Houzhao's answer, Shou Ninghou was also relieved in his heart, and quickly nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go back to see him!" ”

Zhu Hou looked at Shou Ninghou, who was happy, and understood in his heart that Shou Ninghou was the one who wanted to see Liu Qi, the transfer envoy of Yangzhou, but he was afraid that something would be wrong, so he hurriedly ran to find him. However, Zhu Houzhao can also understand, after all, Liu Qi's people will definitely not be empty-handed when they come to see Shou Ninghou, and things and money must be indispensable, but Zhu Houzhao didn't break it.

After leaving the palace, Hou Shouning couldn't wait to run back to his home, and when he saw the housekeeper, he ordered: "Bring the gift list sent by the Yangzhou transfer envoy, and inform them that they can come to the door." “

After the housekeeper went out, Shou Ninghou looked through the gift list, and the more he looked at it, the stronger the smile on his face, he was really rich! Now it seems that he used to be really petty in the past, this is just a Yangzhou transfer envoy, and this money is so much. Shou Ninghou couldn't help but think of the words of his prince's nephew, shame, it's really embarrassing, his dignified uncle of the Ming Dynasty, Shou Ninghou of the Ming Dynasty, his previous eyelids were too shallow.

Thinking of this, Shou Ninghou became more determined to work with his prince's nephew, this is so much money, but where is this!

Forbidden City, Xianyang Palace.

Zhu Houzhao stood on the steps, looking at the clouds in the distance, his face was expressionless, the autumn was high and cool, the blue sky and white clouds were just right to express his feelings, but Zhu Houzhao didn't want to do anything, what he wanted to do now was to stand quietly and look at this piece of sky quietly.

"Your Highness, it has been notified!" Liu Jin came behind Zhu Houzhao, bowed down and said, "The slave maid has already made them ready." ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and asked Liu Jin to inform the soldiers trained by Zhu Houzhao in Xiyuan, this time he went south to Yangzhou, and Zhu Houzhao naturally wanted to take them with him. Although there are also Qincha guards, Zhu Houzhao still believes that he has more people. Of course, the accompanying Jinyi Guard will also escort him, but Zhu Houzhao does not have too high hopes for the Jinyi Guard's combat power.

"Prepare too!" Zhu Hou looked at Liu Jin and said with a smile: "This journey is still quite hard. ”

When Liu Jin heard Zhu Houzhao's words, he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, don't worry, the slave maid has nothing to prepare, just serve His Highness when you are ready." ”

Listening to Liu Jin's words, Zhu Houzhao just nodded, then smiled and didn't speak, this time when he went south to Yangzhou, Zhu Houzhao naturally had to be served by his side, but Zhu Houzhao couldn't bring all the eunuchs who served around him. What Zhu Houzhao said to Liu Jin, that is, this time he will bring Liu Jin, Liu Jin is naturally happy, in Liu Jin's opinion, this is a good opportunity for him to be a pet.

While Zhu Houzhao was preparing in the palace, Liu Qi's son Liu Ji also took Liu Qi's master Liu Dian into the Shouning Marquis Mansion, accompanied by Liu Ji's uncle and Liu Qi's wife's uncle Liao Yuan.

The three of them were led into the living room by the subordinates of the Hou Mansion, but Shou Ninghou was not there, only the subordinates gave the tea, and kept adding water twice, and Shou Ninghou came out from behind. For Zhang Heling, this attitude is a must, and it is majestic to hold it. After the three of them got up and saluted, Zhang Heling raised his hand and said, "Excuse me!" “

After the three of them sat down again, Zhang Heling said: "I originally wanted to see you earlier, but the prince summoned me, and this matter cannot be delayed." ”

"Lord Hou works hard for the country, and he is valued by the prince, and he is really a model official!" Liu Ji said slowly on the side, with a reverent expression on his face.

After some politeness, Liu Ji took out a letter, and then said respectfully: "Master Hou, this is a letter from my father to Master Hou." ”

It's okay to ask to see Zhang Heling, but that's for the sake of money, if you want to talk about things, the weight of these three people is not enough. Yangzhou transshipment envoy Liu Qi naturally knows this truth, and this letter is a stepping stone.

Zhang Heling nodded, picked up the letter quietly, and after a brief glance, Zhang Heling put down the letter with a smile. The content of the letter did not surprise Zhang Heling, and this was the first time he had seen such a letter. In the letter, Liu Qi first expressed his reverence and admiration for Zhang Heling, slapped a big fart, and then wrote the meaning of contribution.

That's the integrity of investment.

Glancing at Liu Ji, Zhang Heling said helplessly: "Ben Hou has also heard about your father a long time ago, if you had anything in the past, it would be nothing for Ben Hou to help with it, but now things are not very easy to do." This morning, someone impeached Ben Hou, saying that Ben Hou's people were rampant and domineering in Yangzhou and blackmailed salt merchants, and this person was Qi Huan, the prefect of Yangzhou. ”

"Ben Hou This is a disaster, Qi Huan also said that the official salt of the two Huai salt farms has become private salt, and he is selling the private salt as official salt, and the matter is in trouble, and your father is the first person he impeached."

Listening to Zhang Heling's words, Liu Ji's face also became ugly, and Liao Principle on the side was trembling, that's what they did!

"No, Your Majesty is furious, and has issued an order to strictly investigate the illegal salt case and the rule of officials in Yangzhou, the prince is out of Beijing, at this juncture, many things are not easy to do!" As he spoke, Zhang Heling banged on the table with an embarrassed expression on his face.

Liu Ji hurriedly said: "Master Hou, please help me a lot, if you pass this level, my father will still have a lot of hearts!" At the same time, he gave Liao Yuan a look.

Liao Yuan, who came with him, instantly understood, and hurriedly said: "Master Hou, we can't be clear about the affairs of Yangzhou, as long as Master Hou can help, we must have intentions." In the future, we will know that Hou Ye has a trick, and we will definitely go to the soup to do things for Hou Ye. ”

Zhang Heling glanced at Liu Ji, then at Liao Yuan, his expression eased slightly, but he was still very embarrassed and said: "It's not that things can't be done, but you must know that this matter has already been troubled, if you want to speak, then you have to start on the side of the celebrant supervisor, they can only hope to help His Majesty speak, and a few fathers-in-law on the side of His Royal Highness the Prince, they all need to be taken care of." ”

Liu Ji hurriedly said: "Master Hou, no matter how much you spend, no matter how much money you spend, what this money can solve, then there is no problem, no matter how much money is spent, all the small ones will be sent to Hou Ye." “

Smiled and waved his hand, Zhang Heling said: "Liu Gongzi is not very old, but he is very angry in doing things, and he has the demeanor of everyone, this is very good, you can rest assured, Ben Hou will do his best." After saying this, Zhang Heling looked suddenly realized: "By the way, what did your father ask for?" It wasn't written in this letter! ”
