Chapter 416: A Little Request
Early the next morning, Ye Xun just came to the West Factory, and met the monk Huizhen waiting for him at the door, looking at his appearance, he should have been waiting for half a day.
"Hey! I thought the master was gone, coming to me so early, but is there something wrong? ”
Since this monk wants to play and indulge, then Ye Xun will accompany him to the end, anyway, Ye Xun is not in a hurry.
Hui Zhen smiled bitterly, yesterday he received a letter from the emperor again, hoping that he would get Ye Xun's support as soon as possible, Tokugawa Hidetada has become more and more arrogant, even what wife the emperor marries, what time of day to interfere, the emperor is about to be driven crazy, is not want to endure it anymore.
Hui Zhen wasn't sure what Ye Xun thought, he originally wanted to see it, but now that he has the emperor's latest instructions, he can only come to see Ye Xun hard.
"Father-in-law, can you take a step to speak?"
Ye Xun smiled slightly, he didn't have to guess that he knew what Huizhen wanted to say to him, and reached out to invite Huizhen in.
In the lobby, before the buttocks were hot, Hui Zhen said directly: "Father-in-law Ye, I was a poor monk before, and I asked my father-in-law to forgive me."
Ye Xun smiled indifferently and said: "It's nothing, in fact, I know what you want to say, but I can't help your emperor's situation at the moment, after all, the matter in North Korea has not been resolved!" ”
Hui Zhen nodded and said: "What my father-in-law said is that in fact, His Majesty the Emperor just wants his father-in-law to have an attitude, as long as his father-in-law can show his support for him."
"That's no problem, I'll go into the palace in a while and ask Your Majesty to issue a decree, you say! How do you want my majesty's will to be written? ”
Hui Zhen didn't expect Ye Xun to be so easy to speak, and was about to speak excitedly, when he suddenly remembered that there is a legend outside that this Ye Gonggong has never been profitable and can't afford to be early, and North Korea seems to have been blackmailed by him, and now he has become so enthusiastic, isn't there any intention for me to Japan?
Slightly embarrassed, he said, "Gonggong Ye, is there anything that needs our emperor to do?" ”
Ye Xun smiled, little Japan, quite careful, nodded and said: "It's a little bit, but it's not a big deal, I just hope that the emperor can allow our people to open mines on Kyushu Island, and they will be exempted from taxes for decades, how about it!" It's not that hard, is it? ”
This is really not a difficult thing, there are a lot of mineral deposits in all the islands of Japan, but Japan is limited to technology and has no ability to develop it at all, this kind of ready-made cheap, of course, can't be cheap to others, and even if the Japanese island is dug and sunk in advance, it has nothing to do with Ye Xun.
Hui Zhen nodded and said: "If the father-in-law is just this matter, then I think the emperor will definitely support it, but the father-in-law should also know that the emperor does not have an army, and the army is in the hands of the Tokugawa family, if Tokugawa Hidetada does not agree, this is still a dead letter after all."
Speaking of which, Hui Zhen still hopes that Ye Xun can help the emperor kill Tokugawa Hidetada first.
Ye Xun was not fooled by this, and said: "I think there must be troops supporting the emperor on the Japanese island, so I will ask His Majesty to issue a holy decree to Tokugawa Hidetada, so that he can return the power to the emperor, if he does not agree, the Ming Dynasty will send troops to intervene, what do you think?" ”
"The poor monk has thanked Gonggong Ye for His Majesty the Emperor first, do you think this is okay? Can you help the emperor raise an army first, so that the emperor will not be too passive?"
Hearing Hui Zhen's request, Ye Xun frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "This matter can work, so be it!" You go to Jinzhou to find Elder Zhang Guan, and now he is in charge of everything over there, and my father will also send him an order to ask him to fully cooperate with you."
Huizhen stood up, bowed to Ye Xun, and said with emotion: "Ye Gong's righteousness is thin and cloudy, and the poor monk has nothing to repay, only a pillar of incense every day and night, and asks the Buddha to bless his father-in-law with good health and all the best."
Ye Xun smiled and didn't speak, it's better to ask for Buddha than to ask for yourself, you still ask the Buddha to bless you in Japan!
Just when Ye Xun sent Huizhen away, an enlarged meeting of the emperor's relatives was also held in the mansion of the Marquis of Yongding.
Usually, these pampered royal relatives have never gotten up so early, so they sat there, one by one, like big smokers, haggling, it seemed that if there were not too many people around, they would fall asleep directly.
The meeting was initiated by Yang Wanqing and Hou Ying, the commanders of the horses, and the reason why the location was chosen in the Yongding Marquis Mansion was to hide people's eyes and ears, wishful thinking that they could avoid Ye Xun's eyes and ears.
Looking at a group of nobles who didn't wake up, Hou Ying was also angry, if it weren't for the fact that his son was still closed in Xichang, he wouldn't have sat with these guys.
Yang Wanqing's wife is the eldest princess, Zhu Youxiao has to call her aunt and grandmother, relying on her special identity, the Yang family has also purchased tens of thousands of fields, and now the Qingzhang officials of the household department have begun to check his family's fields, so he is so anxious.
"Everyone, everyone, all awake, when is this, can you still sleep? This knife surnamed Ye has been put on our necks, and if we can't think of a rut, everyone will drink the northwest wind! ”
"Yang Luma, you're a bit alarmist, aren't you? This surnamed Ye is just a thief, what can he do to us? How dare he treat us? Lao Tzu's ancestors followed Emperor Hongwu to fight the country."
It was a hereditary duke who spoke, relying on the shadow of his ancestors, who recruited cats and dogs to eat and wait for death on weekdays, did not do serious things, and did not care about the major affairs of the court, so that he still didn't know how powerful Ye Xun was.
Hou Ying hated that he couldn't pinch this talking bastard to death, dare to love that your son was not locked up in the West Factory.
smiled coldly and said: "Ye Xun is now going to take back the land given to us by the emperors of the past dynasties, and what else is there to make us self-reliant, I want to ask this grandfather, can you go to plow the fields, yes, your family is rich, maybe you can eat for a few years, what about your descendants?" With just the little money given by the imperial court, I'm afraid you can't even afford to raise Mrs. Ru! ”
As soon as Hou Ying's words fell, these nobles buzzed like a vegetable market.
"What? Let's be self-reliant, grandma! This Ming world, not our ancestors and Emperor Hongwu fought down, Emperor Hongwu said let us be rich with the country, oh! Now the court is getting richer and richer, but it still wants to loot on us, no, we will never agree, we will go to His Majesty for comment."
"That's, that's it, let's go together, I'll see who dares to stop us"
In just a few words, everyone's emotions were mobilized.
Zhao Nanqi, Hou Ying, and Yang Wanqing glanced at each other, and nodded secretly, people's hearts are available.
You must know that these people are not comparable to those messy people who are in charge of affairs in the imperial village, don't look at them now, they are all a group of waste-like existences, but every family has a powerful ancestor, who has fought the world with Zhu Yuanzhang, once these people form a group and want to do one thing, even the emperor can't stop it
