Chapter Fifty-Nine: Flying South
Chapter 59 Flying South
"Bastard thing!" Returning to the Heart Cultivation Palace, Emperor Longqing was not only angry, but reached the point of thunder. Bayi Chinese Network ? ?.? 8?1?z??. c?o?m?
"Chen Hong, what do you mean by these people, could it be that I am so unbearable in their hearts?" Emperor Longqing turned his head to look at Chen Hong, who was trembling and standing on the side, and asked.
"Master, the court is a big event, and the slaves and maids don't dare to comment on it." With a plop, Chen Hong knelt on the ground. At the moment, although he is the eunuch who is in charge of the seal, Feng Bao, who is eyeing him behind him, can't help but be imprudent in his words and deeds.
You must know that Feng Bao holds the Dongchang in his hand, and the palace is also full of his eyeliner, in case he should be with the emperor in this matter, when he tells those ministers, he will be finished.
"You...... Get out of here! Emperor Longqing was even more furious, the people around him didn't even look at him, and he couldn't live this day.
After thinking about it, Emperor Longqing thought of two people who could solve problems, one was Shen Chongming, who had just left for a short time, and the other was Feng Bao, a loyal servant who had served him for more than ten years.
Shen Chongming had just returned, and he had already asked him to go back to rest with his family, so naturally he couldn't be summoned into the palace to complain, and the only person left was Feng Bao.
Emperor Longqing gave an edict, and the Governor of Feng Chang rushed over, and said with a flattering face: "Master Wanfu, the slave and maid will hurry up after receiving your spoken words, and they didn't delay the business, right?" While speaking, Feng Bao was still panting heavily, looking tired and sweating like rain.
This is naturally a lie, and he received an order from Emperor Longqing to prepare hot water and incense to bathe, planning to wash away the smell of his body and then meet Emperor Longqing, and then take advantage of this time to think about what Emperor Longqing summoned him for. In case it was really the little prince who gave him 300,000 taels of silver and the emperor learned about it, he might as well have a way to deal with it.
"Lao Feng, you can be regarded as coming, and I will leave the palace to find you later." Emperor Longqing's brows were clumped into a pimple.
An old Feng shouted that Feng Bao was comfortable, since the emperor ascended the throne, this title has never been repeated. "Your Majesty, what is it that makes you look like this, the slaves and maids must have taken the boys to solve this difficult matter." Feng Bao patted his chest and said, and the people immediately came to Emperor Longqing.
Emperor Longqing sighed, and told Feng Bao the truth of the matter. "Lao Feng, do you say that I am wrong about this? Why are these ministers so aggressive, they have put themselves in the eyes of the emperor. ”
"What a gut, this damn Chen Yiqin, our family and you are incompatible!" Feng Bao said angrily, as if his ancestral grave had been dug up by Chen Yiqin.
However, his attitude fell on Emperor Longqing's heart. Quietly, this is his loyal courtier.
"Your Majesty, this Chen Yiqin has always been arrogant and arrogant because he has some prestige among the people. If you don't punish him well this time, won't it be against the heavens and he will be punished. Feng Bao said with teeth and claws.
"This ......" Hearing this, Emperor Longqing hesitated. Although he was angry, he didn't think of punishing Chen Yiqin because of this.
Seeing that Emperor Longqing was hesitant, Feng Bao took the hot railway and said: "Master, these courtiers are naughty boys, they don't go to the house for three days, if they are let go of them like this time, wouldn't it have fueled their arrogance even more, and they will not have to kick their noses and faces in the future." ”
Emperor Longqing's heart moved, and the name Xu Jie once again appeared in his heart. Xu Jie's arrogance back then, wasn't it the trouble caused by his repeated connivance? Could it be that Chen Yiqin this time is going to follow the old path of Xu Jie?
"Master, you can't indulge them like that. This is an example, for the sake of future planning, let's take this opportunity to ring the alarm bell for the ministers in the court. And I am a Ming official who governs Qingming, and there are many capable people, and there are not many of them, but it doesn't matter if there is less. Feng Bao did everything he could.
However, when it comes to cabinet ministers, Emperor Longqing will not completely listen to his encouragement, and said in silence for a while: "Let this matter be left at this for the time being, if Chen Yiqin is still so disrespectful in the future, I will deal with him again." ”
Listening to Emperor Longqing's words, Feng Bao couldn't help but be a little discouraged. I thought it was a good opportunity to meddle in the cabinet, but it seems that it has been lost again.
After chatting for a while, Emperor Longqing was in a much better mood under Feng Bao's common enemy, turned his head to look at the mountains of folds on the case, waved his hand and said, "You go and get busy, I want to check the folds." ”
"Yes, the slave will come back another day to listen to the emperor." Feng Bao bowed, and then pouted and retreated.
Outside the palace, as soon as he got into his small soft sedan chair, Feng Bao's brows were twisted, this Shen Chongming actually came back, what was he doing so quietly?
Hou Mansion, Shen Chongming's courtyard was even more noisy when he came back, and his family came and went, all busy for today's feast.
"Xianggong, don't go out again when you come back this time?" Seeing that Shen Chongming's whole mind was on the two children, Yan Yumeng couldn't help but smile.
"Ah......" Shen Chongming's body was stunned, and he turned around and smiled: "I can't rest at home for the time being, something happened in Jiangnan, and I will rush to Tongzhou early tomorrow morning to take a boat." ”
Wan Jiayi, who was sitting on the side, suddenly stretched his face, "Hmph, I'm busy all day long, but you don't care about your family." ”
"Sister, the prime minister leads the court, so he naturally has to be busy with some things, and our women's family can't say such things." Yan Yumeng, who was on the side, hurriedly persuaded that he had three obedience and four virtues, but he didn't say that he wouldn't let his husband be busy outside.
"Sister, he has been gone for more than four months, and now he has just come back and is going to Jiangnan, why do you say that he can't?" Wan Jiayi said with tears in her eyes. originally thought that they could stay together for a long time after getting married, but they never thought that it would be like this.
"Daddy, hug." The son behind him walked towards Shen Chongming with two little legs.
Shen Chongming smiled, and quickly reached out and hugged his two sons, one left and one right. got up and walked in front of Wan Jiayi and said with a wry smile: "Jiayi, the stakes are very high, I have to go." After dealing with this matter, it will be good to stay at home. ”
"I say that every time, but when did you say it?" Wan Jiayi turned sideways and didn't look at Shen Chongming, but tears slipped down her cheeks.
"This time it must be counted, and if there is an errand in the future, I will definitely push it off." Shen Chongming assured that if he hadn't held the two children on the left and the right, he would have sworn by raising his hands.
"Hmph, then you go to Jiangnan this time, can Sister Su'er still follow?" Wan Jiayi looked back at Shen Chongming angrily and asked.
When asked like this, Shen Chongming reacted, it seems that this person is jealous. It is also said that the original wife is alone in the empty room at home, but she is taking the woman who has not yet married to her outside, and no one is happy to put it on anyone.
"Of course not, this time I have already told her that I will not let her follow." Shen Chongming swore an oath, but did not tell Wan Jiayi that when he returned from Jiangnan, it was the day he married his little sister.
"That's pretty much it." Finally, a smile appeared on Wan Jiayi's face.
Settle these things, Shen Chongming went in and out of the house for a night regardless of the fatigue of the journey, and rushed to Tongzhou early the next morning with Brother Erdan and a group of guards. Liu Shouyou had already led people there last night, just waiting for Shen Chongming to sail south as soon as he arrived.
Needless to say, the journey went smoothly, and seven days later, a group of disguised people got off the boat in Zhenjiang. According to the verification of Mr. Xiao Ershao's account office, a batch of silver taels disappeared after being withdrawn from Zhenjiang.
"It's been a few years, but this Zhenjiang is a lot more prosperous." Shen Chongming, who was dressed as a scholar, turned his head to look at Liu Shouyou on his side and said with a smile.
"Hehe, Zhenjiang can have today's prosperity, how lazy brother you have come up with open sea trade. At present, the goods of traders from all over the country have to pass through here, not to mention the doubling of government taxes, and the people are also very rich. Liu Shouyou said with a smile, his face full of approval. It's not easy to be a little brother.
Saying this, Shen Chongming inevitably felt a sense of pride in his heart, rubbed his palms and said, "In this case, let's have a good tour." ”
As soon as he heard this, Brother Erdan was not happy, and interjected on the side: "My lord, we are here to handle the case." You were in a hurry all the way, why didn't you get to this Zhenjiang Mansion and didn't worry? ”
It is understandable that Brother Erdan is resentful. I finally met the girl Xin'er who had been thinking about her for a long time, but unfortunately she left the capital before she had the courage to ask for marriage, and her life's events were delayed again, teaching him how to feel better.
"Hehe, there have been beautiful women in the south of the Yangtze River since ancient times, and it is not easy to come once, of course, you have to take a leisurely time to watch it. Maybe your kid fell in love here at first sight, and he could marry a daughter-in-law. "How can this guy's little idea escape Shen Chongming's eyes, even if he jokes.
As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of laughter, and the captains were also happy to see Master Ma being teased by Lord Shen. This is a shame for Brother Erdan, a good man, Shen Chongming and Liu Shouyou can't afford to provoke it, so they immediately began to scold the captains behind them.
Without further ado, Shen Chongming really took a group of people to wander around the street, and at the end of the day, the tavern, tea, goldsmith shop, all of them had to stop and stop.
One hundred taels of silver was shot, and a fairly high-end inn was taken down by Shen Chongming.
"Little second brother, how can you see that there are a lot of people in the rivers and lakes of Zhenjiang Mansion, could it be that there are some martial arts families here?" Taking advantage of the time when the little second brother entered the house to deliver tea, Shen Chongming asked with curiosity on his face.
The little second brother was stunned, this group of people each carried a blade, and they must also be people who walked the rivers and lakes, so why did they ask themselves such a question.
"If you go back to the guest officer, this villain has never heard of it, probably these knights are just passing by." As soon as the little second brother finished speaking, his eyes stared at the five-tael silver ingot that Shen Chongming threw on the table. This objective shot is really generous.
"But there are familiar faces who come and go, I'm afraid that there are really such famous knights in my Zhenjiang Mansion." Money can make ghosts grind, and the little second brother should even tell his speculation.
"Hehe, what's the big deal in your Zhenjiang Mansion recently?" Shen Chongming took out another ingot of silver, which was really generous.
"I haven't heard of this, but there is a Zhao Dashan person who is recruiting workers again, two days ago his family's warehouse posted a notice, saying that it is recruiting 1,000 middle-aged men as warehouse men, and it is said that a month's salary is 12500 Wen."
"Oh, it's a big deal." Shen Chongming's face was a little weird. A small warehouse dares to recruit so many people, and it has to be said that it is suspicious these years.
"And how many people does his warehouse have now?" Shen Chongming asked with interest. With so many men in the prime of life, they are an army in the blink of an eye. These people who eat by strength are not lost there against the guards and soldiers.
