Under the personal supervision of Wang Chengen, Chongzhen sent a confidant eunuch to the cabinet chief assistant Wen Tiren to pass the air, and the ticket for the knighthood was soon handed over to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

With the full support of the three marquis of Xing'an, Boxinning, Bohuaiyuan, and the marquis, there was no turmoil, and the ministries were immediately notified to determine the meritorious reward.

With Zhu Shun's merits, the supervisor Yuan Chonghuan and the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan Man Gui had already sent the letter to the military department, and the military department handed over the merit documents to the governor's office of the five armies on the same day.

Under the care of Chongzhen, Xungui, Bian General, and the three parties, Zhu Shun successfully walked through the first three prop tables, but in the last and most important official with the title of lord, he met Ya Yi again.

The officials didn't say they disagreed, they were just talking about deliberation, and they were going to use a procrastination trick to drag Zhu Shun to death.

In the officialdom, it is said that the procrastination trick is the most difficult, and the small officials can use the procrastination trick to delay the taxation of a county, horse husbandry and other government affairs, and the county that drags it has been unable to collect taxes for a long time, delaying the transportation of taxes and grains, and dropping the black yarn hat.

As the official in charge of the world, he obviously knows this well, so he has been dragging the title of Lord with a sentence of deliberation.

Three or four days have passed, and I haven't come up with a single document.

A person in Wang Chengen's mansion wearing a melon skin hat copied his cuffs and came to the Bai Mansion: "My lord invited my uncle to go, saying that he had something important to discuss." ”

Zhu Shun is not an uncle now, this personal entourage is called out, this cleverness is very likable, and he casually rewarded him with a piece of silver: "Tell the prince that he will arrive at the mansion on time at the end of the unitary time." ”

Evening.

The sky gradually darkened, a blue silk Hunan embroidered sedan chair stopped in front of the stone lion, Zhu Shun walked out of the sedan chair, and walked into Wang Chengen's mansion through the side door.

Following the green brick path and coming to the atrium, Wang Chengen had already prepared wine and food and waited in the courtyard.

On a table of eight immortals of Huanghuali, there are four preserved fruits, four candied fruits, four cold dishes and four hot dishes, a total of 16 kinds of appetizers, and there is also a Huangcai Panlong wine pot fired by the official kiln next to it.

I have seen this Huangcai Panlong wine jug once, and it contains the Chunling Yishou wine used by the royal family.

Next to the table of the Eight Immortals, there is a large blue and white porcelain vat, which is fired with a pattern of fishing wood cultivation and reading.

There are a few koi fish and two or three lotus plants in it.

There is a bright moon hanging in the sky.

Lovely view.

Zhu Shun was also not polite, and sat down under Wang Chengen: "Brother Wang should be looking for me for the matter of knighthood." ”

It's been so long, and the matter of the knighthood has not yet been decided, Wang Chengen invited Zhu Shun to drink for only one purpose, to comfort him on behalf of the emperor, and let him not be impatient, there will be results in these two days.

However, how many days these two days are, Wang Chengen didn't count in his heart.

As a core member of the Donglin Party and one of the powerful candidates for the next generation of party leaders, there are many henchmen in the court, and if you really want to deal with Zhu Shun, it is really difficult to be knighted.

After all, it is now a gentleman of the Manchu Dynasty.

Wang Chengen poured a glass of wine for Zhu Shun, thought about how to open his mouth about this matter, paused and said: "Let's call Mr. Zhu over today to congratulate Brother Zhu on adding a miracle to Daming." ”

"In order to stop some people's mouths, the emperor sent Ma Shiying to Dalinghe and saw the Dalinghe City."

"This made the emperor happy, and immediately pardoned the cabinet to vote for the knighthood, but he encountered a little trouble when he got to the official department, but Mr. Zhu put his heart in his stomach, or it won't be long before the knighthood will come down."

Zhu Shun had long expected that the Donglin Party would not let him be knighted smoothly, and would definitely do everything possible to obstruct this matter.

After all, with the assimilation ability of the industrial association, as long as he becomes a member of Xungui, he will be a fierce opponent for the Donglin Party.

However, Zhu Shun had already left his back hand, which was also the reason why he did not kill Shuotuo, the second son of Da Belle Daishan, in the first place.

If the ordinary officials heard that the officials couldn't get along with themselves, they would have been frightened a long time ago, but Zhu Shun still had a calm face: "Among the sons of the officials and scholars, who is in business." ”

Wang Chengen, as a six-eyed pen, had the details of many officials in his mind, and after thinking about it, he said: "The third son of the official department is a member of the Jin Shang. ”

Zhu Shun understood what the Jin merchants in this sentence meant, not specifically referring to Shanxi merchants, but about traitors who sent ironware, birds, and grain to Jiannu.

Originally, I just wanted to find an excuse to dig a trap for the official book, but I didn't expect that there was a trap at the official department's house.

Zhu Shun asked calmly: "Is the emperor silver?" ”

Speaking of silver and Jin merchants, Wang Chengen roughly understood what Zhu Shun meant: "What Mr. Zhu means, our family understands, is to use the third son of the Ministry of Shangshu to knock the mountain and shock the tiger." ”

"This will not work, if the imperial court is short of money, it will take a rich bureaucrat and squire and forcibly confiscate the family property, it will lose the support of the people."

"Today, you can take the third son of the Ministry of Shangshu, and tomorrow you can take a big Jin businessman, and you will definitely make people panic, and the bureaucrats and squires all over the world will find a way back."

Speaking of which, Wang Chengen won't say anything, I believe that smart people understand the meaning of the second half of the sentence.

As long as they find an excuse to raid the home of a bureaucratic squire or a big businessman, these elites will definitely find a way to find another proprietor, after all, no one knows if the next one is themselves.

In this way, there will be more Jin merchants who collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, and there will be more bureaucrats and gentry who secretly take refuge in King Chuang, or even Jiannu.

Zhu Shun picked up the official kiln doucai wine glass, walked to the lotus leaf, and drank the tonic wine in the cup in one gulp: "Brother Wang should know that when I attacked Haizhou Wei, I captured Daishan's second son, Shuotuo. ”

"When I left Liaodong, I didn't hand him over to Inspector Yuan, but took him to the capital, and now he is being held in Baifu."

At the mention of Nurhachi's grandson, Wang Chengen's face first flashed with a smile, and soon his eyelids trembled violently.

Mr. Zhu is so ruthless, he wants to use this matter to completely eradicate the obstacle of the official book.

Wang Chengen has no good impression of these Donglin Party who often disobey the emperor's edicts, and there are a lot of disgusts.

picked up the official kiln doucai wine glass, and also walked to the lotus leaf, and drank the medicinal wine in his hand: "Three days later, our family will remove the fanzi in the family of the official department." ”

Zhu Shun only said one Shuotuo, and Wang Chengen understood the meaning, it seems that this prince is really good enough.

Zhu Shun smiled faintly and sat back at the Eight Immortals Table of Rosewood: "Brother Wang's nephew, Wei Yilu's family is very poor, and he came here some time ago, and he really wants to start an industry and share worries for the country." ”

Wei Yilu is studying in his hometown in Hebei, where can he come to the capital, how can he not understand the meaning of this with Wang Chengen's cleverness.
