This set of chairs and canopies was sent with the imperial horse, Zhou Dingcheng didn't think much about it at the time, but at this time he understood that these objects came from a big deal, in the early Ming Dynasty, Taizu divided the kings, and several sons each commanded a part of the generals and the army, so that the military power was transferred from the hands of the generals to the hands of the sons, and the military parade of the vassal kings was this set of lines at that time.

As a ritual during military parades, military music was also formed in the Ming Dynasty and has continued to this day. After becoming the emperor, the restrictions on the kings increased, and the military parade of the vassal kings was a thing of the past, but this system still existed, and the required items had to be made normally.

Besides, he had seen those things, but he didn't think much about it, since the imperial horses had been rewarded, these chairs, canopies, military music and so on were certainly not unusual, and he didn't know what the etiquette of the military parade of the vassal king was.

The things he uses now, whether it is the four treasures of the study, or the tables and chairs in the office, many of them are used by the queen, since the silver is used in the inner money, and all the living utensils are directly arranged in the interior, these objects are also very normal.

But Zhou Dingcheng was thinking carefully and fearing at the moment.

Thinking of the emperor asking Wei Guogong to vouch for the situation, the meritorious families of Dingguogong, Rongguogong, and British Duke were all required by the emperor to vouch for the matter, not to mention the master Chen Musa.

This is something that has never happened before, no minister needs the guarantee of these meritorious families, even if he is the second son of the Marquis of Wucheng now, this phenomenon is too abnormal.

In addition, considering that the emperor sent half of the elite of the Jinyi Guard this time to investigate the incident of the attack, he was actually investigating the situation.

Although Jinyiwei has 10,000 case-handling personnel, the elite is about 1,000, just like the people recruited, there are more than 20,000 people, and the most elite part is 3,000 people. Moreover, the starting point for recruiting people is much higher than that of Jinyiwei, and the most elite personnel are only a little more than one-tenth.

Zhou Dingcheng has always rarely used his brain, he is a person who would rather use his brain than use his brain, but at this moment, it is not that he wants to use his brain, but he is frightened by what he suddenly realized, and his brain automatically starts to work.

"Lao Zhou, you really don't matter? This kid is idle, and if he can't do it, let him show you, don't hold on. Zhao Yang asked Zhou Dingcheng with great concern.

Besides, he glanced at Zhou Dingcheng and knew that there was nothing wrong, and this was not in the equatorial rainforest, and malaria or something had nothing to do with him, so he might be too tired. Zhou Dingcheng's physical foundation is good, and he recovers after drinking and sleeping.

Zhou Dingcheng smiled: "What's the matter with me, it's just that I suddenly felt a little cold just now." ”

"Nonsense, you wear so little, you can not be cold. I said Lao Zhou, people have to be old when they reach a certain age, and they can't always pretend to be seventeen or eighteen, it's freezing on this day, and you only wear a jacket, aren't you looking for a disease? Zhao Yang said in a rambling voice.

He wore a thick satin jacket with three layers of silk wool, a fox fur on the outside, suede boots on his feet, wool felt socks on the inside, and a mink hat on his head.

"Why do I dress old, I'm not old, I don't pretend to be tender, I've always dressed like this, I've never worn a fur coat."

The two began to pinch again.

Zhou Dingcheng has a characteristic, no matter who has been with him for a long time, he is willing to fight with him, first Xiaojun, then Zhao Yang, and he has not pinched him less, but now it is gradually less.

Zhao Yang suddenly remembered something, turned his head and said: "Oh, by the way, brother, there are a lot of people looking for me in the past two days, they all want you to be an official here, I will push you away, but I don't know how long it will last, and now your sixth guard in brocade clothes is the most popular place." ”

"Is there such a thing?" Besides, he was a little surprised, he didn't know about it at all.

A few days ago, there were many people who came to the door to ask for a meeting, all of them were irrelevant people, and the purposes for which they asked to see were even more varied, and there were no surprises, and they all refused to see them, sometimes let Zhou Dingcheng go out to deal with it, that is, a few words of the scene, and then send the people away.

Most of the people in the officialdom are looking at the direction of the wind, he has always been on the cusp of the imperial court, most people are not optimistic about him, it is normal to take a wait-and-see attitude, not to mention that there are a large number of people who are plotting to put him to death.

Could it be that the wind has changed now?

He didn't see any signs of this, except for the emperor's insistence, Gao Gong Zhang Juzheng secretly discussed with the emperor, the mainstream speech of the court is still strongly opposed to the opening of the sea ban, and two days ago, three officials carried the coffin to the court meeting, posing at the expense of the corpse.

There are also many officials who say that once the ban on the sea is officially announced, they will immediately crash to death on the noon gate, and they will not hesitate to defend the sanctity of Taizu's Sermon with blood on their necks.

Until now, except for the courtiers secretly instructed by Gao Gong Zhang Juzheng, no one openly supported the policy of opening up the sea ban, and now waiting for the recital of Tan Lun, the governor of Fujian, the governor of the coastal provinces, whose opinions played a decisive role in the matter.

Now all the yamen are overstaffed, and when there is no time for the establishment, there are still a large number of idle officials waiting to take up real posts, and the difficulty is similar to buying a lottery ticket and winning the jackpot. Moreover, the sixth guard of brocade clothes is just the opposite, there are a large number of establishments, but there are no officials, and it is inevitable that someone will step on the threshold here.

"I said you should collect the money, five thousand taels for a thousand households, ten thousand taels for the commander, fifteen thousand for the commander, and 20,000 for the commander, and these silver can be used to enrich the military expenses in the future. Think about it, if you follow the establishment of the commander of the envoys, you still lack two commanders and two commanders, two commanders, four commanders, and below each commander are two commanders and two commanders, and the shortage of 1,000 households is 30, and 300 100 households, needless to say, the general flag and small flag below. Do the math of how much money you can collect. Zhao Yang said, saliva flowed out.

"Yes, second brother, the open official mantle, are you going to send me to Beizhen Fusi to report for duty?" Besides, ignoring him, it's just a pipe dream.

"Truly, these people must be willing to pay for what they need." Zhao Yang said.

"The emperor can sell it, but I can't, it's better to pay this silver to the treasury and then take office." Regardless of whether there is a shortage of silver or not, they will not use their brains in the preparation.

"I'm just going to help you settle the score, and it's your business whether you want to do it or not. However, the emperor's money is not easy to spend, you have to think of ways to earn it back for the emperor. Zhao Yang said.

"How do I earn it back?" And the airway.

No matter how many people he has, how capable these people are, but they are not for trading, they will only spend money and will not make money.

"The royal family also has business, you will know later, maybe the emperor wants you to do the royal business overseas, otherwise how can he support you with internal money? The emperor's silver is only for private use, not in extraordinary circumstances, and will not be used for public use. Zhao Yang said.

Besides, shaking his head, he doesn't know anything about this, and he doesn't want to think deeply, he is now a donkey on the grinding road, and he has to listen to the emperor's command to turn around and grind.

"Is it useful for you to ramble on so much? At this point, can I pick and choose? Besides.

"Okay, I won't talk about it, and you will know that the second brother is a god operator in the future." Zhao Yang said proudly.

"Oh, the second brother can also tell fortunes, I really don't know this." Besides, there was a look of disdain.

"I'm not a fortune teller, this is a prediction, with my understanding of the emperor and the royal family, these are like palm prints, nothing strange." Zhao Yang continued to say.

Besides, although he is regarded as a son of a meritorious family, he doesn't know much about this group, and he doesn't care much about it. When I was in Nanjing, I had occasional contacts with the Zhongshan Palace, and I had nothing to do with the little prince's brother, and then I lived in the Wucheng Hou Mansion, in addition to the luxury of life, the mansion was magnificent and broad, and I didn't have too deep experience.

"Do you want me to help you get in touch, the price I just told you is the price of conscience, and we can still go up by half. Ha ha. Zhao Yang said.

"No, please help me keep those people out, I will be grateful." Besides, he hurriedly bowed his hand.

What are you kidding, selling officials is what he hates the most, of course he won't do it, although the court is also selling officials in disguise, but most of the sales are false positions, that is, the buyers and sellers are willing to be beaten one by one, at least it does not have much impact on government affairs.

"By the way, didn't you open an auction house when you were in Nanjing, it is said that it is quite popular, just gather these people and auction off these real shortcomings, and you will get more silver." Zhao Yang is now in the eye of money, and he can't pull it out at all.

He saw that he had spent too much money, and he was afraid that he would not succeed, so he helped him think of such a crooked idea.

Auction houses?

Besides, he suddenly thought of Li Xiangjun, too, since Li Xiangjun is here, the auction house can continue to open in Beijing, which reminds him. After Zuo Ling came, of course, she will continue to do the business of traditional Chinese medicine, this is her dream all along, to open the trade in every place in the country, and finally sell overseas, where there are people, there is Zuo Ling's business, this is Zuo Ling's business imperial dream.

"Don't come up with bad ideas, you want to kill him, isn't selling an official just looking for death?" Zhou Ding became enlightened.

"How can this be sold, whoever gets the real shortage can't spend money, you don't want this money, the real shortage of the sixth guard has to be sold by the grandsons of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War, and you can get the real shortage without spending money? That's impossible. Zhao Yang said.

"It doesn't matter to me who gets the silver, I won't accept this money anyway, besides, it was the emperor who took out his own money to form this brocade sixth guard, and it is estimated that there must be a plan for the preparation, let's not worry about it." Besides.

"What is this called? The emperor asked you to select recruiters, including the officials I mentioned above, if you don't worry about this, can they really be all empty? You did all the work alone? Zhao Yang was puzzled, his thoughts were really 108,000 miles different from what he thought.
