Chapter 1244 Towards the Fu Family

Li Deyong saw Bumu Butai break it, bowed down and said: "Niangniang, it's not that the slave wants to hide it from you, it's that this matter is too big, and the slave and maid know only a lot." The slaves and maids were sternly admonished from above, and they should not act rashly. ”

Bumu Butai took a sip of tea, frowned, and said, "Is the threat to the Shenlong Mansion controllable?" ”

Li Deyong said: "This lady can rest assured, Daming is the emperor, and no one can make waves." Those people also know where the proportions are, and they will not really anger the emperor. ”

Bumu Butai heard the taste, turned his head to look at Li Deyong and said, "Is it the cabinet elder?" ”

Bu Mu Butai's words are almost Fu Changzong's name, and now too many things are directed at the Fu family's father and son, and it is logical for Bu Mu Butai to think so.

Li Deyong smiled and said, "Don't dare to say anything else, this slave assures Niangniang that Fu Ge Lao is definitely not the person behind the scenes." ”

Bumu Butai looked at his expression for a while before turning around and said, "Gonggong Li, take a lot of trouble." ”

"Of course, don't worry." Li Deyong said respectfully.

Bumu Butai exhaled lightly and got up to go out.

Bi Ziyan was on the way here at this time, sitting in the carriage, feeling the slightly 'barbaric' earthy atmosphere of the Shenlong Mansion, his eyes were closed, his face was calm, but his eyes were constantly moving, obviously thinking about things in his heart, and he was very conflicted.

I don't know how long it took, but an official said, "My lord, Zheng Youyuan, the governor of Jiangsu, is here." ”

Bi Ziyan's eyes raised and said, "Let him get into the carriage." ”

Not long after Zheng Youyuan took office as the governor of Jiangsu, he got into the carriage with a solemn face, and said without saluting: "My lord, this is a secret letter received by the governor Yamen, Governor Chen did not dare to be careless, and ordered the officials to send it quickly." ”

Bi Ziyan looked up at Zheng Youyuan, who was in the dust, took the letter, opened it, and frowned.

This letter is a secret report letter from the Yamen Metropolitan Taxation Department of the Governor of Jiangsu, and the report is that the former governor and the current waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Fang Kongzhi, is suspected of embezzlement and bribery, forming a party for personal gain, owning a large amount of private property without reporting, conniving at the children of the family to beat people's lives, and even cheating in the imperial examination, and so on.

Which one is enough to deprive Fang Kongzhi of his post and send him to prison!

Bi Ziyan looked at the report letter carefully, his expression was calm, and he didn't speak for a long time, just watched silently.

Zheng Youyuan encountered such a thing as soon as he took office, and he had a headache, looking at Bi Ziyan's old god, he couldn't help but say: "My lord, Fang Shilang is Zhou Yingqiu's person, and he is also the emperor's party, what should we do now?" ”

Who dares to be careless when it comes to the 'imperial party'? If there is a misunderstanding in the Qianqing Palace, it will be thunder!

Bi Ziyan glanced at him, handed the letter back, and said, "Xu Jie didn't tell me about it. ”

Xu Jie is the secretary of the cabinet before Zheng Youyuan, the former governor of Jiangsu, Yamen Zuo, who participated in politics, and the current governor of Shuntian, and Bi Ziyan's cronies.

Zheng Youyuan has followed Bi Ziyan for many years and knows him very well, listening to his words, he said in a low voice: "My lord, this letter was sent to the governor's yamen, and I can't find out where it came from. ”

Zheng Youyuan's meaning is simple and clear, if Bi Ziyan doesn't strike first, he will be passive if he is interfered with later.

Bi Ziyan looked at him and said calmly: "Go see Chen Niangniang first." ”

Zheng Youyuan understood what Bi Ziyan meant, pondered for a while, and said, "Yes, the lower officials understand." ”

Bi Ziyan didn't say much, his thin face raised and looked ahead, his eyes as calm as a lake, and there was a trace of ripples flashing.

Bi Ziyan arrived at the Shenlong Mansion, and he was greeted by Gong Yonggu, a concubine, without many ceremonial guards, let alone a grand scene, only a few directors of the Shenlong Mansion, a few big businessmen, He Yunshan, Xiao Yong, Wei Liangqing and others.

"Elder Bige, welcome to the Shenlong Mansion." Gong Yonggu raised his hand and said politely.

Bi Ziyan, as the 'first assistant', has been above 10,000 people under one person for many years, and Gong Yonggu, a young man, actually put his identity in front of him.

Even if it's a colt, it's not eligible!

Bi Ziyan's expression was as usual, and he said lightly: "I want to see Chen Niangniang." ”

For Bi Ziyan's straightforwardness, Gong Yonggu smiled and said: "Ge Lao, there are many restaurants in Shenlong Mansion, and there are delicacies from all over the world, although some are difficult to swallow, but many of them are really delicious,"

Zheng Youyuan was also in the crowd, looking at Gong Yonggu and frowning. Although Gong Yonggu is a concubine, he does not have any status in the court, and he can serve as the head of the Foreign Affairs Bureau because of his seniority in the Royal Political Yuan, not his status as a foreign relative.

According to the imperial court official system, the Foreign Affairs Bureau is subordinate to the cabinet, and Gong Yonggu is Bi Ziyan's subordinate, but now Gong Yonggu has put on the prestige of a horse.

Bi Ziyan looked at Gong Yonggu, his old face couldn't see any expression of surprise, he was silent for a moment, and then said: "I will stay in Shenlong Mansion for three days, and after three days, I will continue to go south to Guangzhou." ”

Gong Yonggu's smile froze for a moment, Guangzhou is the next destination of Shenlong Mansion is planned, where it faces Malacca, the geographical location is particularly good, and it is extremely convenient for sea trade.

But there is no Bumu Butai there, there is no Gong Yonggu, no one can stop Bi Ziyan, if he goes, he can do whatever he wants!

Gong Yonggu looked at Bi Ziyan, stretched out his hand and said, "Elder Bige, take a step to speak." ”

Bi Ziyan took a few steps forward, put his hands behind his back, and looked at the dense buildings not far ahead.

Gong Yonggu thought in his heart, didn't make a detour, and said directly: "Elder Bige, what are you going to do?" ”

A gust of cold wind blew, lifting Bi Ziyan's hair, he didn't turn around, his tone was the same as before, and he said indifferently: "There is no place outside of Wanghua in Daming, and Shenlong Mansion is not a vassal country." ”

Gong Yonggu pondered his words, kept calm and said, "The elder should know that the Shenlong Mansion is the emperor's plan, and everything is done in accordance with the emperor's will. ”

"At this time, whatever I ask, the emperor will agree." Bi Ziyan said expressionlessly.

Bi Ziyan is about to give a letter, and if the request made by such a veteran minister who has worked hard for many years is reasonable, how can he not agree?

Gong Yonggu saw that Bi Ziyan was so persistent, he was silent for a while, leaned over and said: "The lower official can persuade Niangniang to see you, but there are some things that the elder should not do in vain." If Niangniang is angry, Ge Lao will not be able to go anywhere except to return to Beijing. ”

The words of the two were full of anger, and the needle point was against Mai Mang, constantly threatening each other.

Bi Ziyan turned his head to look at him, didn't say much, turned back to the carriage.

Gong Yonggu looked at his back, his heart sank, he didn't say anything, and also turned to leave.

A greeting, a simple beginning, a sloppy first scene, most of the people on both sides are inexplicable, and a small number of people know the inside story and are frightened.

Bi Ge Lao doesn't like businessmen, and if he wants to meddle in the affairs of the Shenlong Mansion, it will naturally cause a backlash from the Shenlong Mansion.

Both sides, this is a fight.

However, behind the Shenlong Mansion is the emperor, and the elder Bi Ge will be the master, and it is difficult to say who wins and who loses!

For a while, the focus of the government and the opposition shifted from Shaanxi to Shenlong Mansion, and everyone wanted to know whether the direction of the Ming Dynasty would change greatly at this time.

In Bumu Butai's small building, Gong Yonggu stood in front of Bumu Butai, raised his hand, looked solemn, and said: "Niangniang, Bi Ge Lao has a very firm attitude, and he seems to be determined to meddle in the affairs of our Shenlong Mansion. ”

Bu Mu Butai had already expected this, glanced at Li Deyong behind him, and said, "Can you invite Elder Bi Ge back to Beijing as soon as possible?" ”

Li Deyong bowed slightly, and said, "If it was before, it was naturally possible, but now it is ......."

Li Deyong didn't finish his words, but the meaning was self-evident. Bi Ge Lao is about to become a minister, he has enough capital to be 'capricious' at this time, and the emperor's order can also be disobeyed.

Everything, can not be done according to common sense, inferred.

Bu Mu Butai had a dignified demeanor, his expression was as usual, and he said in a cold tone: "Tell him, I won't meet him, and he can't be allowed to interfere in the affairs of the Shenlong Mansion." Is Sun Baigu going to Guangzhou, in your name, ask him to come to Shenlong Mansion for a walk. ”

Gong Yonggu furrowed his brows and said, "Niangniang, this is a blatant loss of face for Bige Lao, and it may anger Bige Lao." ”

Bumu Butai glanced at him, smiled and said, "It's okay, I have a sense of proportion." ”

Gong Yonggu is still quite convinced of this Chen Niangniang, has the ability and means, and always shows a kind of confidence and calmness.

"Yes." Gong Yonggu didn't hesitate much, and raised his hand in response.

Su Mo'er pushed the door in at this time, glanced at a few people, and said with a smile to Bumu Butai: "Niangniang, the third highness is clamoring to fly a kite, and the slave maid made one." ”

Hearing Zhu Ciyi, Bumu Butai had a smile on his face even more, and said, "Okay, let Yi'er wait for a while, and I'll come down immediately." ”

"Yes." Su Mo'er smiled and turned to go downstairs.

Bumu Butai turned his head to look at Li Deyong and said, "Bi Ge Lao should keep an eye on it, don't let those who have a heart take advantage of it." ”

Now the situation in the Shenlong Mansion is becoming more and more complicated, and I don't know how many forces are fighting in it. Now that Bi Ge Lao has come in person, this complexity has been pushed to the extreme.

The forces in the dark are already exerting their strength, and they don't know what they are plotting, Bumu Butai and others have been investigating in secret, and they are very vigilant.

Li Deyong bowed down and said, "Yes." ”

Bi Ziyan settled in the post station, although it is not prosperous, it is much better than the place outside the Shenlong Mansion.

Bi Ziyan was born in a family of eunuchs, but he didn't like luxury, looking at these gold, silver and jade, glass lamps, and hearing that this post house said that it cost thirty taels a day, disgust rose in his heart.

In addition, Bumu Butai's message made the mood even worse.

Zheng Youyuan accompanied Bi Ziyan, and saw the whole process in his eyes, he saw that Bi Ziyan was angry on his face, and persuaded him: "My lord, Chen Niangniang can't touch this person, since the emperor put him in the Shenlong Mansion, he must be extremely trusting, if the adults are aggressive, I am afraid that it will cause the emperor to be displeased, which is not conducive to the current plan of the adults." ”

Bi Ziyan leaned back in his chair, his expression was indifferent, there was anger in his eyes, he glanced at him, and said, "What is Chen Qiyu's attitude towards the matter of Fang Kong?" ”

Zheng Youyuan was extremely cautious now, pondering for a moment before saying, "My lord, Lord Chen has just arrived, so there will probably be no more trouble, and this matter will probably be reported to the Governor's Yuan." ”

Behind Fang Kongzhi is Zhou Yingqiu, Zhou Yingqiu and Fu Changzong are in the same breath, if Fu Changzong is the leader of the emperor's party, Zhou Yingqiu is the second person, and both of them will lose.

Therefore, if something happened to Fang Kongzhi, Fu Changzong would not be able to escape.

Zheng Youyuan has been in the cabinet for many years and has a fairly clear understanding of the situation in the government and the opposition. From the revelation of the Shaanxi incident, the impeachment of Fu Tao, and the report of Fang Kongzhi, all the goals seem to be aimed at Fu Changzong.

When the elder Bige is about to give his head and the high-level of the imperial court is about to change blood, someone wants to take action against the huge and deep-rooted imperial party, what is this going to do?

Who's behind it? Is it some of the people who oppose the 'New Deal'? Is there infighting within the Imperial Party? Or maybe Sun Chuanting, who feels threatened? Or, is it the old Bi Ge in front of you?

Zheng Youyuan didn't dare to guess, he dared to make a move against the imperial party, the means were so sharp, and he hit the key point, such a person, energy, and power must be extraordinary!

"Report to the Overseer?"

Bi Ziyan nodded slightly, this is indeed a normal way to deal with it, Chen Qiyu wants to avoid the heavy and light, and avoid this whirlpool.

Not only Chen Qiyu wanted to avoid it, but the Ming Dynasty and the opposition didn't know how many people wanted to escape.

Zheng Youyuan couldn't guess Bi Ziyan's mind now, and said tentatively, "My lord, according to your plan, the next step is to go to Zhejiang, you see, when is it better to leave?" ”

Bi Ziyan is in this state, and he is very clear about many things, and the people and things that he didn't understand and see clearly in the past are now clear.

For Zheng Youyuan, he naturally understands it, and now he understands it even more.

Bi Ziyan picked up a cup of tea casually, stirred with water, and brought the teacup to his lips and said, "I have to see Bumu Butai." ”

Zheng Youyuan looked at Bi Ziyan and felt very uneasy. Bi Ziyan made up his mind to return the Shenlong Mansion to the imperial court, which was bound to conflict with the emperor.

The consequences are expected!

Zheng Youyuan didn't dare to persuade again, so he could only respond and contact Gong Yonggu again.

In the largest restaurant in Shenlong Mansion, the enchanting young woman listened to the maidservant's report, and said thoughtfully with a smile on her face: "You mean, Bi Ziyan and that Mrs. Chen are on the same page?" ”

The maidservant said, "Yes." Bi Ziyan refused to leave, he must see it, but Mrs. Chen refused to see it. I heard that Bi Ziyan wants to bring the Shenlong Mansion into the cabinet. ”

The young woman was surprised and said, "Really, this is good news for us to judge." ”

The management of Shenlong Mansion is very different from the Ming system, all aspects are controlled by Bumu Butai, it is difficult for them to control anything, they can only follow the development of Bumu Butai's east wind, and everything is controlled in the hands of Bumu Butai.

If they return to the hands of the imperial court, then it will be too easy for them to operate, perhaps, it won't be long before the Shenlong Mansion will be theirs!

The maidservant girl's pretty face was happy, and she said: "What Mrs. said is true, but that Mrs. Chen is very strong, and she is not strict with herself, but I am afraid that it is impossible to say who should lose." ”

The young woman pointed to a hand, revealing a large piece of white greasy on her chest, and her pretty face was full of smiles, and said, "That's not right, the harder they fight, the greater the benefits we have...... But the lord is right, with the emperor pressing, they will be very restrained and will not lift the table......"

The maidservant looked at the young woman, stretched out her head, and whispered, "Madam, then look, should we add more fire?" ”

The young woman was not dissatisfied, and said with a smile, "Who are you talking about?" ”

The maidservant stood outside the door, glanced around, and said in a low voice, "Zhou Yingqiu." ”

A smile bloomed on the young woman's face, and she said, "Little Langhoof, you know my thoughts." Wait, it's not the time yet. Bi Ziyan or something, it's okay to say, the key is that the emperor must not give him a chance to turn the tables, and he must pull them all off the horse. ”

The maid hurriedly said: "It's still the lady who thinks thoughtfully, but the slave and maid can't think of so much." ”

The young woman glanced at her charmingly and said, "Is there any movement in the capital?" ”

The maidservant said, "There is no movement. Fu Changzong has returned to the capital, and all the things in Shaanxi have been suppressed. However, the disposition of Wen Tiren and others has not yet come down, and the court has not mentioned it, and the Qianqing Palace has not said anything. ”

The young woman's expression was slight, and she said: "The master said that the most terrible thing about the emperor today is not his means, but his patience, for one thing, he can plan for ten years!" In this world, there is nothing more terrible than patience, you inform the capital and ask them not to move. Zhou Yingqiu, don't come in vain, this person is the most insidious, and he must not capsize in the gutter. ”

The maid looked serious and said, "Yes, the slave will go and tell them." ”

"By the way, don't fly pigeons to pass the book, use secret words." The young woman hurriedly reminded again, "Now you have to be cautious in everything, so that you can't be caught by the tail." Unclean places should be cut off immediately, and people must not be given the opportunity to touch the melons! ”

"Yes!" The maidservant said more and more seriously.

The young woman nodded, and was about to wave away the maidservant, when she suddenly said, "Where is the master now?" ”

The maid looked up at the young woman and whispered, "The slave doesn't know. ”

The young woman's face turned cold suddenly, and she snorted, "I'm going to that slut again!" Don't be found out by me, or I'll let that slut know what a human being is! ”

The maidservant lowered her head and did not dare to say anything.

When Bi Ziyan asked to see Bumu Butai for the second time, Gong Yonggu and others encountered a problem.

After all, Bi Ziyan is the 'first assistant' of the current dynasty, he can refuse once by virtue of his identity, and he can find a reason to reluctantly justify a lawsuit, but if he refuses for the second time, no one will feel that they didn't mean it.

Gong Yonggu looked at Bu Mu Butai and thought about it, "Niangniang, if you see it, it will definitely be difficult for Bi Ge Lao to ask you in person, and there are some things that Bi Ge Lao can't know, and he will definitely not be able to see him, so he has to find another way." ”

Bumu Butai hugged Zhu Ciyi, the little guy was playing with a building block, Bumu Butai said while playing, "The Third Highness is sick. ”

Gong Yonggu was stunned, looked at Zhu Ciyi who was jumping around, and immediately hurriedly said with joy: "Niangniang is smart, the next official will arrange it." ”

Bumu Butai said: "This year's international trade conference is scheduled for October, you send a letter to Bi Ge Lao and Governor Chen, no, go there in person, invite them to participate, and focus on how much income this matter can bring to the treasury, how many people will benefit, value, significance, you must explain clearly......

Gong Yonggu admired Bumu Butai very much in his heart, and said: "Clever plan! Xia Guan will go now, I believe that Bi Ge Lao will have to leave if he doesn't leave this time. ”

Bumu Butai didn't speak this time, he played games with the little guy, and when Gong Yonggu left, Bumu Butai smiled and said, "Yi'er, you've been away from the palace for a long time, do you want to go back?" ”

The little guy blinked, turned his head to look at Bumu Butai, and said, "Mother, why are you hiding from Bi Ge Lao?" I have heard in the palace that Bi Ge is a good official who works hard and complains. ”

Zhu Ciyi is five years old and is not a child who doesn't understand anything.

Bumu Butai put his arms around him and said, "Either you are a hard-working or a good official, you will understand when you grow up." ”

The little guy is small, where does he know so many twists and turns, he nodded as if he didn't understand, and his attention quickly turned to the game in front of him.

But to Bumu Butai's expectation, she refused to meet so clearly, Bi Ziyan did not leave the Shenlong Mansion as soon as possible in accordance with the 'rules of the game', but ignored it a little and asked to see Bumu Butai again, and it was Zheng Youyuan, the governor of Jiangsu, who came in person.
