Chapter 3 Undercurrent Surge 3 "You." Emperor Longqing shook his head helplessly, waved his hand and said, "Get up, don't be so soft in the future." ”

"Thank you, master." Kowtowing and thanking him, Feng Bao stood up with a bitter face and asked in a low voice: "Master, the slave is stupid, I don't understand what Xu Ge Lao thinks when he lets Shen Chongming serve as the governor of the Chinese military capital from Yipin?" ”

Emperor Longqing smiled bitterly: "Presumably you also know what the position of the governor of the five armies is for, once you really achieve this position, Shen Chongming will not want to go further in this life, such a person will be abandoned at a young age." ”

Feng Bao suddenly realized, "In this way, in this way, Xu Ge Lao really had a premeditated plan, if it weren't for the master's discernment, the slave and maid would have almost been deceived by him, and originally said that he promoted the available talents for the imperial court." ”

"Hehe, Xu Jie has been an official for many years, and he is deeply harmonious with the way of officialdom, it is reasonable for you to be deceived by him, you can be vigilant in the future, and you must think carefully about what others say to you, don't tell me what is right and wrong, if you can't change this problem, I will beat you to make you have a longer memory." Emperor Longqing frightened.

Feng Bao couldn't hear this joke, and smiled, "Don't worry, if the slave can't change this problem, if you don't bother, you will beat yourself up." ”

Xufu.

As soon as he got off the court, Ouyang Jingzhi hurried over. He was a frequent visitor to the Xu Mansion, and the people knew that there was no need to report it, so he directly led the way to the backyard study with Ouyang Jingzhi.

"Pavilion Elder Hao Yaxing, can this ink treasure be given to the lower officials?" Looking at Xu Jie standing there writing calmly, Ouyang Jingzhi, who was standing next to him, said with a smile.

"Hehe, I'm old, I don't have the strength to write, wouldn't it be a shame for the old man to take out such a thing." Xu Jie said with a smile, and saw that the pen turned, and the last stroke destroyed all the momentum of the four big characters of the original majestic Lao Ji Fu Fang.

Putting down the brush in his hand, Xu Jie raised his head and asked, "What is the atmosphere in the court today, is the emperor angry because the old man did not go to the court?" ”

"This ...... The emperor has not changed much on the surface, and he is not angry when he falls to the ground, and the lower officials dare not judge. Ouyang Jingzhi shook his head and said. This is nonsense, the more the emperor shows that he doesn't care, the more angry he becomes, how can the cunning Ouyang Jingzhi not see this.

"Huh." Xu Jie smiled disdainfully, and then a trace of loss floated in his heart. I remember that when the emperor first ascended the throne, even if he was only suffering from a minor illness, he would send the imperial doctor to diagnose him. Now it's good, not only is this treatment gone, but he didn't even have a word of condolences, it seems that he is really getting more and more of his eyesore.

"Elder Ge, do you plan to go to court tomorrow? Xia Guan thinks that the sooner this matter is decided, the better, otherwise the time will drag on for too long, and your colleagues will be thinking about it. Ouyang Jingzhi said cautiously.

Xu Jie shook his head, this disease can be cured if it can be cured, and it will have to be delayed for three or five days. "No, the old man's body is indeed a little uncomfortable, you should pay more attention to the court these days. In addition, Guo Mingyi, the political envoy of Zhejiang, has average ability, and his vision is not very good, and it is a hidden danger for the imperial court to pay taxes like this in Zhejiang. ”

Ouyang Jing's heart was stunned, it seemed that Xu Jie was planning to temporarily divert the attention of the courtiers. As he said, Zhejiang is a heavy place for the imperial court to pay taxes, and the position of this political envoy is a rare fat shortage, and I don't know how many people are staring at it above the court. If Guo Mingyi gives way, I don't know how many flies this big fat meat will attract, and everyone will take it for a while, and it is reasonable to forget about Shen Chongming for the time being.

"What Elder Ge said is that Xia Guan also often receives documents from the imperial history of Zhejiang, saying that this Guo Mingyi is a general scholar, and he has been in the position of political envoy in Zhejiang for nearly ten years, and the tax revenue has not only not increased, but has decreased every year, and he should have been replaced a long time ago." Ouyang Jingzhi said, although there are no outsiders, it can't be seen that Xu Ge Lao deliberately targeted Guo Mingyi's elm pimple.

Thinking about it, he also felt a little sorry for Guo Mingyi in his heart. said that his ability is average, no one in the world will believe it, after all, he can become a feudal official, and that person does not have two brushes in his hands. It's just that this person is an elm pimple, otherwise it would be impossible to stay in the position of political envoy for more than ten years without an inch.

This time it was even worse, he dared to sing against Xu Ge, he simply didn't know whether he was alive or dead. If he embarrassed Shen Chongming that day, how could he be in trouble, maybe he would have taken down Shen Chongming completely without an inch of battle.

"Well, so be it." Xu Jie nodded and said expressionlessly, as long as he pointed out the direction, Ouyang Jingzhi would definitely arrange all the rest of the things. With that, Xu Jie picked up a piece of paper and spread it on the table again.

Seeing that Xu Jie had no intention of staying for his own meal, Ouyang Jingzhi arched his hand and said: "Pavilion Elder, there are still some things to deal with in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so the lower official will leave." ”

Xu Jie's head didn't rise, but said, "Butler, send one to Lord Ouyang." As he spoke, a circle of ink fell on the paper.

When he turned around, Ouyang Jingzhi vaguely saw that the first word should be a 'de' word, and he wanted to laugh inexplicably.

"Oops, it's back." After getting out of the carriage, Xiao Ershao looked at the tall city gate and couldn't help but sigh. "Brother Shen, should we go to your emperor's mansion, or go back to the small courtyard?"

Shen Chongming lifted the curtain of the car and showed his head, he was a little embarrassed by his title, glanced at Xiao Ershao and said: "What kind of big mansion, I don't know if the emperor remembers this matter, let's go back to the courtyard and settle down first." ”

"Okay." Xiao Ershao responded happily, turned around and walked into the carriage and ordered the coachman Xiao Sanzi to go to the small courtyard. Xiao Sanzi asked himself that he was also a leading figure in the business world in the capital, but he couldn't stand the identity of several people in this trip, and it was already a deep honor to be a coachman.

As soon as they entered the city with their front feet, a group of people with Sichuan accents arrived at the city gate.

"Dad, this is the capital." A middle-aged man on horseback looked at the towering city wall and exclaimed with some amazement. With such a high city wall, it is really worthy of the residence of the Son of Heaven.

"Boss, I'm not stable when I'm so old." The old man known as Daddy got out of the carriage with the support of his subordinates, and criticized with a frown.

The boss smiled, and then looked stereotyped. The old man nodded in satisfaction, and then looked up at the city wall. This is also the first time I have come to the capital, it seems that friends who have been to the capital are right, this city wall is built is really spectacular.

"Dad, what kind of shop did you say the second brother advertised, the child read the letter more than ten times, and still had a clue." The boss turned over and dismounted, walked over to the old man, and asked.

"Hmph, you don't know what kind of goods that kid is, this must be a messy shop, and he is embarrassed to brag in the letter." When he thought of that unfilial son, the old man couldn't help but feel more angry on his face. This unsuccessful bastard boy has been gone for almost five years, although it is a long way from Shuzhong to the capital, but you can't go home for so long.

The boss smiled and hurriedly maintained: "Dad, no matter who the second brother is naughty, but after all, because he is too young, it is not easy for him to gain a foothold in such a prosperous place as the capital." ”

Saying this, the old man's face looked a lot better. The boss is right, these two boys can gain a foothold in the capital, a place where Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is helpless, and they are worthy of their own species, and they still have some courage and ability.

"Let's go, it's not easy to find a small shop in such a big capital, let's go into the city and find an inn to settle down." The old man waved his hand and said, he didn't get into the car, he raised his feet and walked towards the city, but he wanted to see how much more prosperous this capital was than Shuzhong.

This old man is none other than Xiao Ershao's father, Xiao Baichuan, who has just entered the city.

It is said that Xiao Er has been away from home for a long time and has not returned, although he will send a letter every year to report his safety, but the things on the paper are really unbelievable. The old lady at home misses it very much, and several times she wrote to urge him to go home and have a look, but Xiao Ershao always said that the business was too busy to be free, and he waited to talk about it when he was free, but this delay was almost five years!

The family was really relieved, and originally planned to send someone to the capital to see how his situation was. At this time, a merchant from the capital came to the door, saying that he wanted to order a batch of high-quality Shu brocade.

Although the Xiao family has a big business, the business of 50,000 taels is really a rare big deal, plus the other party only pays 30% of the payment in advance, and the remaining 70% will not be settled until the cloth arrives in the capital and passes the inspection. The stakes are very high, and Xiao Baichuan decided to come to the capital to take a look in person, so as not to run into any liars. Moreover, take advantage of this opportunity to take a look at his second boy, and if possible, he will be arrested and sent home.

"Dad, look, isn't that the Lianyun Cloth Village that ordered our cloth." Not long after the capital, Xiao Dashao, who had been looking around with curiosity, pointed to the front and said in surprise.

Xiao Baichuan raised his eyes and couldn't help but show a relaxed smile on his face, it seems that there is nothing wrong with this deal. "Let's go inside." As he spoke, Xiao Baichuan raised his feet and walked towards Lianyun Buzhuang.

When he went in, Xiao Baichuan's heart was even more down-to-earth. This Lianyun Cloth Village is really extraordinary, this shop is a whole six large rooms opened up, the shelves are full of cloth, all kinds of precious fabrics are available here.

Before coming in, I paid attention to the plaque on the top of the door, this is just a semicolon, so you can imagine how strong Lianyun Buzhuang is, and he is fully capable of eating the cloth of 50,000 taels of silver.

"Dad, this capital is not only a big place, but also this shop is not small, such a cloth village has such a scale." Xiao Dashao looked at the constant number of guests coming and going in Lianyun Cloth Village, and couldn't help but sigh with some emotion, it seems that the capital is really a good place to do business, but I don't know what kind of scale the second brother's publicity is.

Calming down, Xiao Baichuan's face was full of lightness, this transaction made a net profit of 30,000 taels, this trip to the capital can not run in vain, we must have a good relationship with the owner of this Lianyun Buzhuang, we have long-term cooperation, this silver is not in a hurry.

"Let's go, let's rest for the time being, and tomorrow** will go to meet the shopkeeper of Lianyun Buzhuang, and see if I can find the shop of the unfilial son for my father." Xiao Baichuan commanded. If the boss can win a good start, then he will go out again and discuss the future cooperation between the two companies.
