Chapter 143: Stillness is better than stillness
At the same time, the Marquis of Wuding's mansion.
Guo Xun was sitting at the table, holding a money ticket in his hand and studying it carefully in the candlelight. The face value of the money ticket is not large, it is worth one or two silver, and it is very beautifully printed, but it is not the money ticket of the Lujia Money Village that is circulating in the capital. The imprint on it is impressively printed with the four big characters of "Ping's Money Ticket".
Guo Xun looked at the patterns and marks on it again and again, and was speechless for a long time.
This military commander, who directly controlled the entire capital garrison, had a hint of innocence on his face, as if he had seen something rare.
But the two people in the seat knew that all this was just pretended by Guo Xun, and this old fox was very shrewd.
The official was dressed in a six-grade official uniform, and the scribe robe was a Shandong genius who had recently been in the limelight in the capital.
Seeing Guo Xun playing with the money ticket in his hand like a naughty boy, Ping Qiuli sat there with a calm face. However, the six-grade official was a little uncontrollable: "Guo Hou, if you nod, as soon as the Ping's money village opens, you will give forty percent of the shares of the money village with both hands." ”
The person who looked like a small official was surnamed Changqing, an ordinary official of Taichang Temple, and a disciple of Zhu Houqiao, the king of Jianghua.
Listening to him, Guo Xun's face turned blank, and he casually threw the money ticket on the table: "Shi Changqing, you are so bold, who am I Guo Xun?" ”
Shi Changqing ate his drink, and was so frightened that sweat rolled down his forehead, and he almost wanted to kneel on the ground and kowtow and beg for mercy.
However, Na Pingqiu was calm, and said with a rhetorical smile: "Master, Guo Hou is an elegant person, you don't want to mention these things in front of him." ”
"Yes, yes, who doesn't know that although Guo Hou is a martial artist, he may be able to write poetry, and several books compiled by him are widely circulated in the capital. Everyone said that if Guo Hou went to participate in the imperial examination, he would be able to easily win the top prize. ”
Hearing this, Guo Xun became happy: "I want to take the exam for the champion Gongguang Sect to Yaozu, but I can't do it!" The garrison of the capital is such a big stall, and it is this battalion and that battalion, and it is the north and south of the Yingtianfu, all of which are pressed on Lao Guo and me, even if I have the heart to participate in the imperial examination, I will be a cabinet minister or something in the future, but Your Majesty will not agree. ”
"That's that, Guo Hou is His Majesty's humerus, and he can't be separated from it." Shi Changqing complimented repeatedly.
"However, Lao Guo was born in the army, rolled on the battlefield all his life, and was used to scooping food with the soldiers under his tent. He is "milk" and "milk", I still like to eat a large piece of meat in the barracks, and drink wine in a big bowl, if I really write in the court, I will be laughed at. As for the books I edited, they are all romances or something, not serious writing. ”
Guo Xun said vulgarly, but Ping Qiuli sneered in his heart: Guo Xun is an all-round talent in humanities and martial arts, and he is also a talented person. Now pretending to be such rude and unliterate, it is estimated that he does not want to get involved too deeply in the struggle for succession. However, you have taken so many benefits from the palace in previous years, but now you want to stay out of it, is it possible?
Ping Qiuli said: "Yes, Your Majesty can't leave Guo Hou for a moment." Now, His Majesty's body is also broken, and I heard that he vomited blood today, and even Zhu Huan was transferred to the palace to be on duty. Why, Guo Hou didn't go? ”
Guo Xun pretended to be confused: "Vomiting blood, no, it's nothing." Lao Guo, I have been talking to Your Majesty all day today, and Your Majesty is in good spirits! ”
Ping Qiuli secretly scolded the old fox and glanced at Shi Changqing dissatisfied. Before he came to Beijing, this guy brought a letter to Qingzhou, saying that he had already finished Guo Xun. So, the prince hurriedly sent himself, the first strategist, to the capital to preside over the overall situation. Unexpectedly, when he arrived in the capital, every time he saw Guo Xun, this old guy was a ploppy military man who was not extravagant, full of nonsense, but he never said a useful word.
Ping Qiuli was also annoyed, and his heart was ruthless, once King Jiang Hua succeeded to the throne and became the first assistant of the cabinet, he had to find an opportunity to clean up this old thing like hob meat.
Ping Qiuli: "My Ping's Money Village is about to open, and I am not familiar with the capital, so I came to see Guo Hou, and I want to ask Guo Hou for advice." This time, the late students came to learn from the Hou Ye with an open mind. ”
"Fingering?" Guo Xun smiled: "Okay, then I'll say a few words, this thing is good, if you want to get it, you will definitely make a fortune." Well, you'll get rich. Do your best, and when I have enough money in the future, I may be able to save some money for you to eat. Haha, don't turn me away when the time comes! However, there were two money tickets in the capital at once, and the competition was fierce. Say, "Which money should we use?" No, don't turn this thing into a treasure banknote......" Guo Xun said a lot of saliva, and he felt bored. To be honest, Ping Qiuli said that he would give him forty percent of the shares, and Guo Xun was also very tempted.
However, although Guo Xun loves money, he is not stupid. Today, Emperor Zhengde had a big quarrel with Yang Tinghe, and after vomiting blood, he didn't know what was wrong, so he sent a large number of meticulous surveillance officials. As the military governor of the capital, Guo Xun is naturally the focus of care. I'm afraid that what happened here in Pingqiu, the emperor in the palace already knows.
One is not good, tomorrow a holy decree will come down, I am afraid that he will be pushed to the end, and go home to be a Taiping Marquis like Sun Henian, even worse than him.
Guo Xun thought to himself: You are just a small person in Pingqiu, and you want to take this opportunity to come out, my old Guo is a high authority, so I can't go crazy with you, a bachelor. Let's sit back and see what gets better.
Ping Qiuli was bored listening to it, and he felt a little anxious in his heart, and couldn't help but interrupt Guo Xun's words: "Guo Hou once said to the master, 'Go back and tell your prince that Your Majesty's health has improved. If you can get through this winter, you'll get better. If the snow doesn't fall for a long time, it will be wickedly cold this winter. ’”
"That's right, I said it." Guo Xun smiled: "Your Majesty's body is getting better every day, and he is reading in the leopard room when he sees the sky." He grabbed a copy from his side and handed it over: "This romance has been widely circulated in the palace recently, not only the father-in-law, but even His Majesty likes it very much. I took a look at it, and it was really good, it was very good, and I decided to print it as a book when the story was complete. ”
Ping Qiuli reluctantly took the book, and when he saw it, there were four big characters written on the cover, "Smiling Proud Jianghu", and he turned two more pages, but he felt that it was unsightly, so he put it aside: "It's just a script." ”
"You can't say that, Akiri, you have to read it carefully, this is Your Majesty's favorite book. Any idea who wrote it? ”
"Who is the author?"
"Sun Dan, he came to me some time ago and asked me to let him go to Beiya to see his teacher." Guo Xun muttered: "Since Your Majesty likes this book so much, it is estimated that Sun Dan has also seen his teacher." ”
Ping Qiuli was shocked: Sun Dan is in the palace now?
As soon as he thought of this, Pingqiuli's vest was in a cold sweat, and he didn't have the heart to stay here with Guo Xun, so he said a few words, and then left.
When I got to the street, a cold wind blew, and I calmed down in Pingqiu. said to Shi Changqing: "Master, immediately send a letter to the prince, and say that Guo Hou doesn't have to worry there, but the one in the south has taken the initiative to act quickly, and has already taken the lead in 'inserting' people around His Majesty." Wait for another idea. Also, the matter of money tickets should be done as soon as possible. Guo Xun's meaning is obvious, he is worried that we will not be able to win the Lu family money in the matter of money tickets. He won't say anything until he sees the real results. However, just now he still revealed a major message to us---- Sun Dan is now by the emperor's side. -----Sun Dan is a person from Xingwangfu, and he is by His Majesty's side, I am afraid that things will be a little bad. ”
"Okay, how is the money ticket thing going now?"
"Don't worry, I'm here, no problem." The confident smile on the corner of Ping Qiuli's mouth returned, his left eye was empty, and his right eye flashed in the direction of Guo Fu like a knife: "Guo Xun's eyes are bright, and he wants to take money but doesn't want to take risks, then, I'll let you see the actual benefits brought by the money ticket." As long as the capital accepts the Ping's money ticket, Guo Xun will be eager to jump in and get a piece of the pie. Sun Dan, if you want to stay by the emperor's side for a long time, I have a way for you to come out of it obediently. Hmph, wait for my money ticket to be issued, and then buy off Guo Xun, can you still sit still in the leopard room? ”
When he returned to the academy he had set up in the capital in Pingqiuli, he immediately gathered his subordinates to discuss the issue of new money tickets. According to his plan, as soon as the New Year passes, the new money bank and the first money ticket will be officially listed.
Everything is going in order.
After staying in the leopard room for twelve days in one breath, seeing that the New Year was about to pass, Sun Dan couldn't leave the palace even a step. "Smiling Proud Jianghu" has already mentioned that Linghu Chong went to Luoyang with his master, Jin Yong is naturally excellent, listening to Zhengde and the eunuchs were fascinated, and couldn't help urging Sun Dan to speak quickly.
It's a pity that Zhengde's body is really not good, and he either falls asleep in bed during the day, or rolls in pain all over the bed. He is also hard, and he hurts like that, but he doesn't snort alive or dead, which makes Sun Dan admire in his heart. Replace him, but he can't help it no matter what.
Sun Dan has been in it for so many days, and he is also bored in his heart, and he has always wanted to leave, but he can't find any opportunity.
Fortunately, Bi Yun constantly brought in news from the outside world, so that Sun Dan would not become deaf and blind.
Recently, there have been changes in the capital, first of all, all the prisoners in Guozijian have been released. Secondly, Guo Xun no longer controlled Jinyiwei and Ying Tianfu.
The news that Mr. Li had regained his freedom made Sun Dan very happy, and of course, the emperor could not have locked them up for too long. Guozijian wrote a book about disasters from heaven, if Zhengde is more serious with them, there is a suspicion of wanting to cover up, it is better to be generous and let them go. As for Guo Xun, it is estimated that the incident of going to him as a lobbyist in Pingqiuli happened, which caused Zhengde's suspicion, which divided Guo Xun's military power.
Sure enough, the truth was as Sun Dan expected. On this day, when Sun Dan finished telling the story, and Zhengde's spirit was good. Zhengde suddenly sneered: "Some people are already waiting for me to die impatiently, I heard that they are still engaged in some money, what do they want so much money for, Sun Dan, do you say there is a chance for these people to lose their family and property?" ”
Sun Dan knew that the emperor was talking about the Qianzhuang in Pingqiu, and his heart tightened, and he was immediately overjoyed. If there is the emperor's support, it is really a very simple thing to kill Pingqiuli.
He thought for a moment and said, "There are still ways, but ......"
Just as he was about to continue, suddenly, Bi Yun's panicked voice came outside: "Elder Yang Ge, you can't go in, Your Majesty is in poor health, and you don't see the minister." ”
"Go away, Your Majesty hasn't been in the court for more than a month, as the head of the court, is it so difficult to even see Your Majesty?"
Zhengde frowned, Sun Dan knew that it was Yang Tinghe who came, and hurriedly said, "General, I'll avoid it first." ”
"No, you listen here, and it will be written into the history books in the future."
Sun Dan smiled bitterly: Didn't you ask me to write "Living Records"?
