Chapter 336: Where is Cao Wei (First Update)
Everyone present said goodbye to Zhu Houzhao, looking at Zhu Houzhao's eyes with respect and awe, Zhu Houzhao's methods today really made them happy and convinced, the crown prince is really different from the half-grown children in ordinary people's homes.
Besides, Zhu Houzhao made it clear what Liu An and Lin Tong had committed, which made everyone frightened, and some people with other thoughts also quickly dispelled the thoughts in their hearts, did not dare to have too many thoughts, and made up their minds to control the people in the family after returning home, and not let them act arbitrarily.
In the end, Zhu Houzhao's sentence "I will rely on you in the lonely future" makes people listen to exciting, in the future, after the prince ascends the throne, relying on it is reused, the people present are officials and businessmen, no matter what anyone is asking for, it is just a future, it is obvious that Zhu Houzhao's words give them hope.
There were only a few people left in the chamber.
Zhang Heling saw Zhu Houzhao showing a tired look, and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, Hua Xu's business is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more owners, and it is inevitable that one or two things will happen...... Speaking of which, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still light today......"
"Business is business, not the court, you can't kill people at every turn, right?"
Zhu Hou looked at Zhang Heling and said, "Does my uncle want Gu to be a person who doesn't talk about human feelings?" ”
"I didn't mean that......"
Zhang Heling was very conflicted in his heart, he wanted Zhu Houzhao to use thunder methods to establish absolute prestige, in his opinion, Zhu Houzhao should be ruthless since he was the prince, but he thought about what would happen if he made a mistake in the future, should he let the prince ignore family affection and not be humane......
Zhang Heling closed his mouth.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this is a letter from Madame Cao from Nanjing......"
Tang Yin put the letter on the table and said, "Mrs. Cao said that she would wait for Cao Wei in Nanjing, so this time the parliament will not come." She also said that Nanjing Huaxu had just opened, and Xu Peng had invested in the shares, and now the profit is thin and the silver is less, so she will not send silver to Beijing this time......"
Zhu Houzhao nodded and said: "Sister Xie Wan is lonely, she already knows how to do business, and now with Xu Pengju on the side to help, nothing big will happen, but Cao Wei ......"
Zhu Houzhao's tone was a little annoyed: "Where is Cao Wei now?" A few days ago, I handed over an excerpt from Nanjing, saying that I was going to Songjiang Mansion to suppress bandits, and then I went like this for more than a month, and there was no news.
He's a lonely attendant anyway, and now he's left alone to run away, what's the matter? It's such a fun thing to suppress bandits, he didn't even bring Lone, and when he comes back, Lone must ...... Forget it, I can't help him...... What about Wang Shouren? Why didn't he come today? ”
Liu Jin reminded in a low voice: "Prince, have you forgotten? Wang Shouren was dropped to Jiangxi by His Majesty. ”
"One by one, they are all gone, leaving them alone in the Jingshi......"
Zhu Houzhao held his chin with both hands, frowned slightly, and muttered, "Where is Cao Wei......
……
……
A fast horse entered the Beijing division, and the officers and soldiers guarding the door did not dare to stop the person on the horse after revealing his waist card, and immediately let him go.
"Old Zhoutou, who is this person? It's really arrogant to enter the Beijing division and not get off the horse......"
"Yes, this is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, even if the general comes, he has to dismount and check......"
"Shut up! That's Jinyiwei! ”
The officer and soldier who was called Lao Zhoutou breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that there was no one around, glanced at the man who rode away again, and said in a low voice: "I came from Nanjing, I don't know what happened...... Take control of your mouths, and know the truth that comes from your mouth......"
"Yes, yes......"
The sky gradually darkened, and Zhu Youzhu in the Wenhua Hall was still criticizing the recitals, and Xiao Jing was standing aside and waiting.
A little eunuch hurriedly ran in from outside the hall, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Mu asks to see!" ”
Zhu Youzhu put down the cinnabar pen in his hand and said, "At this time, what is Mu Bin doing when he comes to see me...... Declare him in. ”
"Yes!"
The little eunuch retreated, and after a while, Mu Bin walked in from outside the hall and saluted: "Your Majesty, the official document sent from Songjiang Mansion to Nanjing and transferred again, Cao Wei has news. ”
Xiao Jing presented the official document to Zhu Youji, Zhu Youzhu opened it and looked at it for a moment, and said angrily: "The coastal merchants actually colluded with the Japanese to raise thieves and poison the people, it is really lawless, lawless, cough... Ahem......"
Xiao Jing came over with a cup of tea from somewhere, and said, "Your Majesty, be careful of the dragon body." ”
"Your Majesty, the coast is too far away, there are always places that cannot be reached, there are always some people who are lawless, and it is also the fault of the minister, and the Jinyi guards under the minister are not optimistic about your majesty......"
Zhu Youzhu shook his head and said, "I can't blame you...... Cao Wei has made meritorious contributions to me again, this time to exterminate the bandits and pirates, Songjiang Mansion will be peaceful for a while, by the way, where is Cao Wei now? ”
Mu Bin's face was strange, and he said: "Your Majesty forgives the sin, and the minister doesn't know, it stands to reason that this document came from Songjiang Mansion, and then sent to Beijing through Nanjing, there must be a delay in the middle, Cao Wei entered the river from the sea by water, and he could go directly to Nanjing, and he should soon arrive in Beijing along the way." But the news from the ministers did not find any trace of Cao Wei, which is strange! ”
"This kid led 5,000 armor soldiers to Songjiang Mansion to fight the Japanese invaders, do you know how many people went to the fold to join him? Some people say that he is bold and reckless and lawless, while others say that he supports the army and respects himself, and privately transfers officers and soldiers, which is suspected of plotting rebellion.
Now that he's gone again, if I hadn't trusted him, I might have thought he had some plan...... Mu Bin, you go down and check it out to see what Cao Wei is doing. ”
"The minister obeys the order, and the minister retires!"
After Mu Bin stepped back, Xiao Jing bowed and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to let Dongchang also check?" ”
"Dongchang ......" Zhu Youzhu pondered for a moment and said: "It's okay, it's just gone, I don't know the bottom of my heart, Dongchang also checks, don't really have anything wrong...... By the way, what has the prince been up to lately? ”
"The prince has been running to Huaxu recently......"
"Hua Xu?" Zhu Youzhu frowned and said: "Just leave it to the people below, he is the prince, how can he always do business!" ”
Xiao Jing reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, in today's Huaxu Council, the crown prince accounts for fifty percent of Huaxu's share, and as Huaxu's big owner, he should be present...... By the way, Hua Xu received a total of 1,213,572 and 28 dividends in the five six and seven months of Hua Xu, and the prince received a dividend of 606,786 and 24 lines, and entered the East Palace......"
"Hiss......" Zhu Youji's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "Six hundred thousand taels? Does Hua Xu make so much money? Xiao Jing, what is the scale of Huaxu now? ”
"Your Majesty, there is a saying in the market now: a three-year-old child has eighty beards, and half of the people in the world know Hua Xu, which means that half of the people in the world now know the existence of Hua Xu, and most of the dozens of mansions in the Ming Dynasty have Hua Xu opened, and they continue to expand their scale...... As far as the old slave knows, some officials in the imperial court also have shares......"
Zhu Youzhi was silent, his face was a little heavy, and after a while, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "If it weren't for Houzhao controlling Hua Xu, I really wouldn't be at ease, Cao Wei, this kid can see far...... I really moved my heart to Hua Xu just now, and Hua Xu has become the climate in a short period of time, if it falls into my hands, there will be no shortage of silver in the inner treasury in the future, but it is the same in the hands of Houzhao.
Xiao Jing, you go to the East Palace tomorrow to move the silver to the inner treasury, the photo is still small, you can't use so much silver, in addition, hurry up and find out where Cao Wei is, I want to see him! ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Da Ming Qing Shi
