After listening to Wang An's answer, Xu De nodded and said with a smile: "Nine years, it's not a short time!" Speaking of this, Xu De also fell into memory: "Our family remembers that when you entered the palace, you were not big, and you also belonged to Gonggong Feng." ”

"Back to godfather, yes." Wang An said with a smile: "It's just that Gonggong Feng went early. ”

Regarding Feng Bao's death, Xu De was not willing to talk about it at all, and directly changed the topic and said: "Later, you followed our family, and you have served with all your heart and soul all these years, and there has never been a mistake, which is very good!" ”

Wang An hurriedly said: "It is a blessing for a child to be able to serve his godfather. ”

Xu De himself said this, and it's hard to say if it's true or not, but cultivating a little eunuch for the elderly is something that every big eunuch will do, and it is also a inheritance between eunuchs, and this inheritance cannot be broken.

When the eunuch is old, there is a complete difference between someone taking care of it and no one taking care of it.

Xu De is very optimistic about Wang An, and he also has the intention of cultivating him in his heart.

"Godfather, I'll teach you today." Speaking of this, Xu De sat up straight with a smile, and then said: "Those of us who are slaves and maids, when do we do something, when we are young, we must be able to do things and know how to be a person." ”

"It's about doing things, you know how to do things, and don't make mistakes."

"Only in this way can you be reused, when the little eunuch first entered the palace, how many people could run errands for the emperor? It's not like following the Grand Duke and doing a good job of the Grand Duke Bus Generation, which is fine. ”

"Don't fight, don't grab, just do things, talk less, you do this very well."

Wang An stood aside with his hands down, listened carefully, and didn't dare to miss a word, this is all life experience, and it is his future wealth. Hearing Xu De say this, Wang An said with a smile: "It's all taught by godfathers." ”

Xu De smiled faintly: "After this step, then you will have the opportunity to run errands for the emperor, and this is what our family taught you." ”

"This is an errand for the emperor, remember one thing, the first thing is to do the errand well, if the errand is not done well, it is useless to say anything else. After finishing the errand, all that remains is to repay the merit! Compete for favor! These things. ”

"Just ran an errand for the emperor, remember to be in the limelight, don't let the old man feel that you have no one in your eyes, and think that you are competing for power."

"Although there is our family in the palace to protect you, if anyone wants to harm you, no one knows what you will plant on. This credit should be shared with the profit, and the credit for the profit is also shared with the risk. ”

Wang Anxin moved, could it be that the godfather was just to share the profit risk this time?

"After waiting for a return to Beijing, our family will guarantee you to the emperor and give you a chance to be on your own." Xu De said with a smile: "Remember our family's words today, don't be in the limelight." ”

Seeing Wang An nodding, Xu De continued: "As for why our family is doing things like this this time, don't think so much now, let's follow first!" ”

"Yes, godfather!" Wang An nodded and said respectfully.

For Xu De, how about the credit this time? Can you go one step further? Of course not, I can't go up anymore. Zhang Hong, that old guy doesn't die, no one can move.

It's okay to do the errand, there's no need to be in the limelight, this time the case is too big, and it's better for someone to top the tank.

Forbidden City, Wenhua Palace.

Zhu Yijun looked at the fold in his hand, his eyes narrowed slightly, he stretched out his hand to tap the fold, and a smile appeared on his face: "This Zhao Lian is a little interesting!" ”

Although the degree of purification of opium in this era is not high, once the addiction is not so easy to quit, he can actually rely on his will to resist, this is a ruthless person! Someone in later generations said that a man who can quit smoking is too cruel to himself, but this Zhao Lian, who can borrow opium, is even more ruthless to himself.

In the fold, Wang Yongji wrote in detail about the process of Zhao Lian's hard resistance, which was also confirmed by Xu De's secret fold.

The only difference is that Wang Yongji promoted Zhao Lian on the fold, Wang Yongji thought that Zhao Lian was also a victim and did not know about the poison of Fushou cream. Wang Yongji believes that Zhao Lian is a talent who can make meritorious contributions.

Zhu Yijun didn't care, in fact, he didn't have much hope for the smoking ban.

Compared with people of this era, Zhu Yijun has a deeper understanding of big smoke, which is imported from overseas. If he can't be cut off from the source, then it will be impossible to ban him at home.

The reason why Zhu Yijun asked to investigate this matter was, on the one hand, to prepare for the future, and secondly, to investigate smuggling and maritime trade.

Although opium is a very harmful thing, in this era of trade, the status of this thing will be higher and higher, and its price is also high, it can be said to be a very, very expensive maritime trade commodity.

To be able to get opium and sell it in Daming is definitely not to be underestimated, and it is definitely a maritime businessman.

Zhu Yijun was still thinking about how to deal with these guys, the evidence of smuggling is not easy to check, these people are deeply rooted in Daming and powerful, if they really arrest people, it will be a big trouble, and opium gives him a chance.

Offering poison to the emperor, this matter is too big, or this hat is too big, so big that no one can move it.

Taking advantage of this incident, he quickly cut through the mess and directly rounded and flattened the smuggling merchants in the southeast. Although there are many businessmen in the Ming Dynasty, and it is also common to be officials and do business, there are not so many real big business gangs that have the ability to influence the general trend.

The famous ones are naturally the Jin merchants, these people started by relying on the salt administration, and at the same time they were rich in trade with foreign customs, and later they were smuggling and reselling military supplies, and there was nothing they did not dare to sell.

Behind it is the Hui merchants, in this era, the strength of the Hui merchants is very strong.

If the Jin merchants are the most deeply involved with the imperial court, and many families have produced big officials, then the Hui merchants are "businessmen and excellent scholars", and the private schools in the countryside are basically run by themselves, all of which are privately run, and they are all run by businessmen with donations.

Unlike the Jin merchants and the Hui merchants, the Zhejiang merchants were much simpler, and most of them were simple merchants.

In addition to the Jin merchants, Hui merchants, and Zhejiang merchants, there were also Fujian merchants, Cantonese merchants and so on.

Zhu Yijun knew very well that at this time, these businessmen had begun to form a group, and a large merchant gang was forming, and the representative event was the establishment of the guild hall. The first guild hall appeared in the Wuhu guild hall in Beijing, which was built in the Yongle period, but now, there are more such guild halls.

Merchants funded the establishment, bought fellow villagers, made them group, formed official and business parties, and then dragged the Ming into the abyss.

Zhu Yijun couldn't be clearer about this, and through Yangzhou's salt purge, he knocked the Hui merchants and Jin merchants with a stick. The border trade in the northwest also mobilized the Hui and Jin merchants, forcing them to submit to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The next thing I want to target is Zhejiang merchants and Fujian merchants, and they also have a more representative name: Fujian and Zhejiang maritime merchants!

Zhu Yijun is supportive of maritime trade, of course he knows what maritime trade means, he also needs maritime merchants, and even needs colonial maritime merchants, but what he needs is not the existing maritime merchants, these people are unqualified.

Their conscience has long been broken, for the sake of money, they can collude with the Japanese and they dare to do any business.

If you don't kill a group or bring down a group, your own maritime trade plan will have to make them yellow.

Originally, Zhu Yijun was still thinking about finding some reason to clean them up, but he didn't expect them to bump into them by themselves, if they didn't take it, they would be blamed, how could Zhu Yijun let go of such a good opportunity.

It's just that Zhu Yijun was originally going to let Xu De do this, but he didn't expect someone to jump out now.

What Zhang Whale did in Yangzhou made the factory of Dongchang notorious, in fact, if it wasn't for the way, Zhu Yijun didn't want to use the eunuch to do something, and his influence would be bad.

Once the eunuch makes a move, many people will look at it with colored glasses.

Whatever the truth of the matter is, conspiracy theories are bound to emerge, as is the case with some industries that have lost credibility in later generations. The same is true of eunuchs, who in this era do not represent justice.

It's just that no one in the civil service wants to do this kind of thing, if you let him go, he will also fish for three days and dry the nets for two days, and he will definitely not do it.

This Zhao Lian made Zhu Yijun's eyes shine, this is a ruthless person, as for his pursuit, Zhu Yijun doesn't know yet. However, it is nothing more than money, power, beauty or reputation, judging from Wang Yongjibao, this Zhao Lian should not be a person who is greedy for money and beauty.

Then the rest is simple, whether you like power or fame, you can give it yourself.

Being an official is addictive, Zhu Yijun knows this very well, for the sake of an official position, he can do anything without a lower limit. Chen Wei and Zhang Siwei are all like this, but when they are used by Zhu Yijun, they are too selfish.

If they simply pursue power and official positions, Zhu Yijun will still support them.

This Zhao Lian can be cultivated!

Anyway, there is Xu De in Nanjing, and there is no problem, thinking of this, Zhu Yijun raised his head and looked at Zhang Whale, and then said: "Let the cabinet draw up a decree, add Zhao Lian, a waiter of the Nanjing Ministry of Industry, to the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate, and thoroughly investigate the case of Fushou Cream." ”

In fact, Zhu Yijun has not made this matter public before, but now Zhu Yijun is ready to make it public, and he will investigate it with great fanfare.

Zhang Whale bowed down and said, "The slave will go to the cabinet to pass the decree!" After saying that, he walked out quickly.

When the bachelor of the cabinet saw Zhang Whale coming, his heart sank, in fact, Zhang Whale's reputation is very bad now, which is secondary, the key is that every time Zhang Whale comes, it must be no good thing.

After Shen Shixing saw Zhang Jing, he asked with a smile: "Gonggong Zhang came to the cabinet, but His Majesty has a will?" ”

Zhang Jing nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty ordered the cabinet to draft a decree, and add Zhao Lian, a waiter of the Nanjing Ministry of Industry, to be the imperial history of the left capital of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate, and thoroughly investigate the case of Fushou ointment." ”

Listening to Zhang Jing's words, Shen Shixing was stunned for a moment, and gave a waiter of the Ministry of Industry the title of Zuodu Yushi, this is very strange, thoroughly investigate the case of Fushou Cream? What is this Fushou paste case? I don't understand it at all!

"Father-in-law Zhang, what is this Fushou Paste case?" Shen Shixing looked at Zhang Whale and asked with some confusion.

Zhang Whale didn't hide it, and directly told Shen Shixing about the matter, from Cui Fujin's offering of Fushou Paste to the discovery that Fushou Paste was poisonous. Regarding Zhu Yijun's thoughts, Zhang Whale is very clear that since the emperor asked people to pass on the holy decree, he is naturally ready to make it public.

After listening to Zhang Whale's words, Shen Shixing's face became very ugly.

No matter when, poisoning the emperor is a big case, and the only thing that makes Shen Shixing happy is that it is a eunuch who does this. Even so, Shen Shixing didn't dare to slack off, who knows who would be involved.

The case of the Shandong White Lotus Sect has just passed, and now there is another assassination case, which is a big deal!

If this is someone plotting against you, I'm afraid someone is doing something inside!

It's just that I don't know anything now, and Shen Shixing can't make an accurate judgment, what things are going on, and how the follow-up people will develop, I have no clue now, so I can only wait for the future. But why did you let a Ministry of Industry in Nanjing investigate this case?

Shen Shixing didn't know, but he wasn't going to ask, this matter didn't involve the cabinet, so he simply let it go.

Now go to Your Majesty, it's definitely a matter of touching the head, plotting an assassination!

"Please return to Your Majesty Gonggong Zhang, the cabinet will draw up an order immediately, and then send it to Nanjing in an urgent manner for six hundred miles."

Shen Shixing naturally knew what to do at this time.

Zhang Whale returned to the palace, and the news spread all over the capital in an instant, and the entire capital was in an uproar.

Someone wants to assassinate the emperor, this is a big case, but this has nothing to do with most people, and they don't care, but some people can't sit still, especially some officials in Jiangnan, because they also use Fushou ointment.

The Tai Hospital quickly announced the medicinal properties of the poison Fushou ointment, and how to test whether it was poisoned.

So that night, many people in the capital did not smoke Fushou ointment, and many people instantly found out that they were poisoned. This case became an instant sensation, and this time it was really big.

Countless people began to fold and demand a thorough investigation of the case, and public opinion was raging for a while.

The Tai Hospital also gave a way to detoxify, that is, to stop smoking Fushou ointment, and when you want to smoke, you can tie yourself up. Of course, it is not known whether anyone will follow this or not.

The six-hundred-mile urgent decree was soon delivered to Nanjing, and it was a small eunuch who delivered the decree.

There is nothing to say about the process, and the arrival of the holy decree made Zhao Lian seem to have received a burst of heart booster. The body, which was originally very weak, has improved a lot in the past two days. Although I committed it a few more times later, it was far less intense than the first time.

It's just that every time it is torture, and after each time, Zhao Lian's body is a little weaker.

After surviving it a few times, the drug addiction was not committed, and Zhao Lian's body finally began to recover, which made Zhao Lian excited. When the holy decree arrived, Zhao Lian's whole person was even more motivated.

Although his mission is temporary, Zhao Lian believes that as long as he does this errand well, he will definitely be able to rise to prominence, and it is definitely not a dream to be transferred to the capital, how can this make him not excited, how can he not be enthusiastic.
