Chapter 17 Lianyun Buzhuang
Chapter 17 Lianyun Buzhuang looked at the sky getting later and later, but still didn't see the arrival of the boat that Gao Gong was riding, Shen Chongming couldn't help but become anxious in his heart, it is said that Jinyiwei's intelligence is accurate, this point is absolutely not wrong, could it be that something happened on the road?
Just as he was thinking wildly, one of the guards next to him suddenly pointed to the water and said, "My lord, a boat is coming." ”
Shen Chongming raised his eyes and saw a ship coming on the surface of the water at some point, and then the flag on the top of the pier could be faintly seen in the firelight, which was an official ship. At this time, it is very likely that it is the boat that the teacher is on.
"Hurry up and ask if it's a tall ship." Shen Chongming hurriedly commanded. If it's still not, then I won't wait any longer, and I'll be really sleepy to death until this time.
The ship got closer and closer, and after a hysterical shouting conversation, a smile finally appeared on Shen Chongming's face, this ship was the official ship carrying Gao Gong to Beijing.
Gao Gong revived, this was a major event that shook the Ming officialdom, and the well-informed local officials knew about it early in the morning. Many well-intentioned people inquired and insisted on getting the high-arched route into Beijing, and the officials along the way were all gearing up, all wanting to perform well in front of this great nobleman.
Although Gao Gong wanted to give birth to two wings and fly directly to the capital, looking at the fiery eyes of those officials, he could only temporarily stop the ship and invite them to the ship to talk. Although it has been avoided repeatedly, it has also been delayed for a long time. No, it was clearly said that he would be able to reach Tongzhou in the evening, but he had no choice but to delay it until near night.
Before the official ship docked on the dock could stabilize itself, Shen Chongming couldn't wait to run up, "Teacher, the student is here to greet you." ”
At this time, Gao Gong walked out of the cabin, and when he saw Shen Chongming, who had a little wind and frost on his face, he was standing in front of him with excitement on his face, and Gao Gong, who was tired from the journey, couldn't help but smile on his face, looked Shen Chongming up and down, and said three good words in a row.
A lot of things have happened in the past few years, although the master and apprentice have always exchanged letters, but the letters are often only condolences between relatives, and rarely involve the government. When they meet at this time, they all want to say a thousand words to each other in their hearts, and it is essential to talk about it at night. Of course, most of the time during the period, Gao Gong asked Shen Chongming to answer, and when Dongfang turned white, he finally recounted what he had experienced in the past few years.
After a night of talking, the two did not feel sleepy at all, and left the dock to rush to the capital when it was dark. The emperor is still waiting to see him in the palace.
The emperor has been thinking about Gao Gong, and since the news came last night that Gao Gong had arrived in Tongzhou, he felt a little excited and couldn't sleep.
For him, Gao Gong is not only a courtier who can be reused with confidence, but also a benefactor in a sense. At the beginning, Emperor Longqing had to be crowned King Yu and removed the palace to open a mansion and build a palace, talking about the situation at that time, it can be described as a bitter tear.
That year, the crown prince was undecided, and King Yu and his half-brother King Jing were both princes, and the future prince must be one of them.
Although King Yu is the elder brother, the status of King Jing's mother is obeyed, and his mother's family is a famous family in the Ming Dynasty.
Most of the ** in officialdom are ruthless, and many people will do whatever it takes to get a high position. In order to show favor to King Jing, those ministers were stunned to hit King Yu, who had no foundation at that time, and the Yan father and son were the representative figures.
All aspects were suppressed, and the life of Yuwangfu was extremely embarrassing. Faced with such a situation, Yuwang, who has a shallow foundation, can only watch, and is powerless to change anything.
But all this changed greatly after the appearance of the high arch. Many things that could only be swallowed before have been mediated by Gao Gong, and the days of Yuwangfu have slowly improved.
The icing on the cake is easy to send carbon in the snow, you must know that at that time, Prince Yu was absolutely alone, and he would be grateful to Dade if someone stood by and watched, not to mention that he would defend him in many ways like Gao Gong. It is precisely because of this that Emperor Longqing, whose status is becoming more and more respected, has always been as polite as a high arch.
I haven't seen him for a few years, and Emperor Longqing is more and more longing for Gao Gong, and now seeing that he is about to return to the court, he can't calm down at all. Hastily got off the morning court, he paced back and forth in the imperial study, and looked up from time to time to ask Chen Honggao beside him if he had entered the city.
Chen Hong promised in his mouth, but he had a plan in his heart. The emperor values Gao Gong so much, if he can make Gao Gong happy, wouldn't he be able to resist Feng Bao, who is becoming more and more powerful, to a certain extent? I didn't dare to ask for anything else, I just hoped that after Li Fang, the old guy, returned to the west, the position of the chief eunuch in charge of the seal of the celebrant would fall on his head.
"Your Majesty, Lord Gao asks to see you." Just as Chen Hong was pondering how he could please Gao Gong, a little eunuch ran in with surprise on his face to report.
Emperor Longqing's eyes lit up, "Hurry up and invite Mr. Gao in." "Anyway, without waiting for the little eunuch to turn around, he raised his feet and walked out," I greeted myself. Chen Hong was stunned, stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly raised his heels. But he was muttering in his heart, this is too incredible, a world supreme actually ran outside to greet a courtier!
"The old minister arches high, knock to see the emperor." Hurrying all the way, I talked with Shen Chongming all night last night, and it was a bit unreasonable to describe Gao Gong with wind and dust. But his appearance fell in the eyes of Emperor Longqing, but it moved Emperor Longqing inexplicably, what a good courtier, "Mr. Gao, hurry up and be exempt." As he spoke, Long Qing stretched out his hand and stepped forward to help Gao Gong, his hands were not small, but he was very excited.
Gao Gong looked frightened, and apologized as he got up: "The emperor loves him, Gao Gong really can't afford it." ”
"Hehe, I'm happy to see Mr. Gao, let's go, let's go in and talk, hahaha." Emperor Longqing laughed heartily, with a radiant expression, and Chen Hong had never seen it for nearly thirty years.
Ouyang Mansion. "Alas, the high arch is back." For Gao Gong's itinerary, the officials in the capital were also extremely concerned, and as soon as he entered the city accompanied by Shen Chongming, the news spread all over the city.
"Master, after all, you are the imperial envoy of the second grade, this high arch wants to take revenge on you, and he has to weigh it carefully." Although Ouyang Mingde, the chief butler of Ouyang Mansion, frowned, he was still relieved.
"Ugh." With another long sigh, Ouyang Jingzhi said weakly: "I hope." ”
"Master, the eldest son of the Xiao family in Shu has come to the capital, and the batch of high-quality Shu brocade will arrive in a few days, do you think we should pay them all this silver?" Suddenly remembering a big event, Ou Yangmingde hurriedly whispered.
Ouyang Jing was stunned, and after thinking about it carefully, he vaguely recalled that the housekeeper had indeed told him about this a few days ago, and it was said that it was a merchant in Shuzhong who had never seen anything in the world. "You mean the cloth merchant in Shu?"
"Yes, that's it, sir, you can still remember these little things every day, it's really good to remember." The butler slapped his ass lightly, and then said angrily: "We ordered a lot of cloth this time, totaling 50,000 taels of silver, which is still leaving the freight." But this businessman surnamed Xiao is an iron rooster who doesn't pull out a dime, and he won't let a big son, and he is definitely a profiteer. That's not all, just a few days ago, they actually went to the capital to investigate the truth, for fear that we would deceive them. ”
The housekeeper's face is a little unsightly, we Lianyunbu Zhuang's wealth is very powerful, but there is no shortage of these three melons and two dates, but the most annoying thing is that others do not give face. In the more than 20 years since Lianyunbuzhuang opened, there have been many such people, but with the backing of their own masters, they can't eat and walk around.
For more than 20 years, Lianyun Cloth Village has long been famous, and those Jiangnan cloth merchants who have business dealings with each other directly give the lowest price every time they provide cloth to our Lianyun Cloth Village, and they don't need to open their mouths at all.
This time doing business with the Xiao family is also like this, originally thinking that when they heard about the well-known Lianyun Buzhuang in Jiangbei, they would definitely give the lowest price directly, even if they lost their money, they would have to have a good relationship with our Lianyun Buzhuang.
Knowing that these Shuzhong turtles don't give low prices, they haven't even heard of the name of Yunbuzhuang, which is really hateful. If it weren't for the urgent shortage of precious Shu brocade in shops around the country, he would have ordered someone to withdraw this business at that time, and then secretly say hello to the government in Shuzhong, so that they can see and see the sky outside the sky!
Now the eldest son of the Xiao family actually came to the capital to check on such a small business, although he said that he attached importance to this business, but he didn't have to think about it to know that he was here to explore the truth, such a turtle thief, really damn it!
Ouyang Jingzhi pursed his mouth and sneered: "Although my lord is difficult to protect myself now, I can't allow him to be bullied by such a small profiteer." You can keep an eye on this for yourself, so that they know that there are people they can't afford to mess with! ”
Gao Gong can't be provoked, Ouyang Jingzhi, who has been on fire these days, urgently needs an outlet. At this time, the father and son of the Xiao family went to Beijing to talk about business for Xiao Ershao's matter, which can be regarded as providing him with a great opportunity to vent.
"Dad, the child didn't mean to hide it from you, it's not that you just came here for a few days, so I didn't tell you." Xiao Ershao resignedly stood in front of Xiao Baichuan with a cold face and explained.
The passing year is not good, just today at noon, when Xiaoqing came to bring soup for herself, she was accidentally bumped into by her father, who came to inspect when he was idle. Lonely men and widows are in the same room, although they haven't done anything that is not tolerated in the world, but it is inevitable to pull a small hand, but the father pushed the door in and saw this situation, and an old face immediately pulled down.
No, Xiao Qing, who blushed with her cheeks, had just walked for a quarter of an hour before she was brought in by her father for questioning.
…… Uh, the business trip is very bad, after arriving at noon yesterday, I didn't get off work until half past eight, and it was already ten o'clock when I finished eating, and the number of words was helplessly reduced, and the typos were not changed, so please forgive me......
