Chapter 41: What I Fancy Is Mine
Chen Di arranged all kinds of food in the food box, poured a glass of wine for Hu Yuanchun, and poured another glass for himself. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The two pushed the cups and changed the lamps, and Chen Di told Hu Yuanchun everything that happened after he got out of the prison.
Hu Yuanchun stroked his beard: "Little friend, the things you have done are not just because of luck. ”
Chen Di asked: "Old man Hu, why did you say this?" ”
Hu Yuanchun said: "These things you told me, it is good luck to do them one by one, and if they are all done, it can only be said that you are extremely capable." ”
Chen Di said: "What do you think of my recognition of Yan Song as my father-in-law?" ”
Hu Yuanchun laughed and said, "Do you know who this Yan Cifu's master is? ”
Chen Di asked, "Could it be Old Man Hu?" ”
Hu Yuanchun laughed and said: "Exactly! Precisely! I could have seen that this man was too greedy. However, everyone has a gluttony in their hearts. Even if I didn't go to this prison because I was greedy for money? Don't care what the world thinks, as long as you can do a great job for the court and the people, it's okay to use any means! ”
Before I knew it, the two had been chatting for three or four hours.
Suddenly, a military attache in a thousand households found Chen Di: "Lord Chen, Jiang Shilang from the military department is looking for you everywhere!" ”
Chen Di asked, "Do you know what's going on?" ”
The military attache shook his head: "Jiang Shilang didn't say it, he just asked you to go to the military department to find him quickly!" ”
Chen Di arched his hand at Hu Yuanchun: "Old man Hu, no, Teacher Hu." Student, I'll say goodbye to you. ”
Hu Yuanchun said: "Okay! After you win the victory against the Japanese in Taizhou, you will go back to the prison to send wine and meat to the old man! ”
Chen Di followed the military attache to the lobby of the military headquarters. Jiang Shilang said to Chen Di: "The batch of firearms you want, I'm afraid they're going to be in the soup!" ”
Chen Di asked, "My lord, why did you say this?" ”
Jiang Shilang sighed: "Alas, the matter of transferring firearms was known to Zhang Haixu by the Military Division!" This guy said that this matter violated the Ming military system, if I insist on allocation, he will go to the table to join me! ”
There are only seven grades in the military department, but they have the right to be inconsistent with the grade.
The main organizational structure of the Great Ming Yanguan is the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Six Sections. The so-called giving is not only an official name, but also an independent organization. To put it bluntly, the emperor appointed the emperor to supervise the imperial history of the six departments. Although the grade of the six departments is only the seventh grade, they can directly play the affairs of the department they are responsible for to the emperor.
Today's Ministry of War, Zhang Haixu is a member of the first assistant Zhai Luan's party. As soon as he heard that Jiang Guang, the left attendant of the military department, was going to transfer a large number of firearms to Chen Di, the new prefect of Taizhou, he immediately informed Jiang Guang, and once he did so, he would go to the table to impeach Jiang Guang.
Speech officials, and speech officials! Chen Di gritted his teeth with hatred. Throughout the history of the Ming Dynasty, many major events have been bad for these gossip officials.
If the water is inspected, there will be no fish, and if a person is observed, there will be no fugitives. Maybe Yan Song and those people are greedy for money. But it's much better than these gossip officials who are only greedy for fame and don't do anything. It doesn't matter if you don't do anything, they don't allow others to do it! As long as you want to do something, these gossip officials will always be a-stirring stick.
Chen Di forcibly suppressed his anger and said to Jiang Shilang: "Your Excellency, you don't have to worry! The lower officials will figure it out. ”
Jiang Shilang nodded: "This is the best." Lord Chen, these officials of the Six Science Corridors are really too difficult. and with the support of Zhai Shoufu, he didn't look at the officials of the various ministries at all! ”
Chen Di returned to the house and counted all the money in the family. Then he took the money and directly found an antique shop, bought a piece of Hetian jade, and came to the private residence of Lu Fang, the eunuch who was in charge of the seal.
This father-in-law Lu was listening to the singers of Suzhou and Hangzhou singing a little song at this time.
Seeing that it was Chen Di coming, Gonggong Lu smiled and said, "It turned out to be you a monkey cub!" ”
Chen Di chuckled: "Since I came back from Henan, I have been entangled in miscellaneous matters, I didn't come to visit Grandpa Lu, and I asked Grandpa Lu to forgive my sins." ”
Father-in-law Lu smiled: "You are a noble person now, and you are already very happy to have this heart!" ”
Chen Di put a brocade box in Lu Gonggong's hand.
Gonggong Lu opened it and took a look: "This piece of Hetian jade is good, it belongs to the middle and upper grade, and it has made you a monkey cub break the bank." ”
Chen Di said: "Where is it, I'm just afraid that your father-in-law won't be able to look at you." ”
Gonggong Lu smiled: "You have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace." Say, what's the matter? ”
Chen Di said: "Alas, isn't the lower official going to Taizhou to take up his post?" In that place in Taizhou, the Japanese are rampant. Xia Guan thought that since he wanted to resist the Japanese, he had to train a decent army to come out. To train a decent army, you need a lot of firearms. Therefore, the lower officer transferred a batch of firearms to Jiang Shilang Shen of the Ministry of War. Jiang Shilang was sympathetic and agreed. Unexpectedly, the military department picked a bone in Zhang Haixu's eggs in the matter, and wanted to use the topic to impeach Jiang Shilang and the lower officials. ”
Chen Di didn't know that the time was right for him to come to Gonggong Lu!
Two days ago, Ricko had just been impeached in the middle of the matter, and Lu Fanglu's father-in-law had set up a private house. Lu Fang was hating the officials of the Six Science Corridor for this matter, and he hated the roots of his teeth.
Lu Gong said fairly: "It's the official of the Six Science Corridor again!" This bunch of nerds who are well fed and have nothing to do! ”
Chen Di said: "Xiaguan hopes that you can mention the matter of firearms before the emperor." If you can get a proper word, these officials can't say anything! ”
Lu Gong said fairly: "Don't worry, the miscellaneous family is on duty in the palace tonight to serve the emperor, and the miscellaneous family will show the emperor this matter!" ”
Chen Di left Lu Fang's private house and suddenly thought of one thing, that is, money!
It is said that it is easy to do things with money. In this corrupt Jiajing Dynasty, money is needed to do everything. I bought a piece of Hetian jade today, and I cleaned all the money in the family. How will you live in the future?
How can I make money? Commerce in the Ming Dynasty was developed, so why not rely on your business acumen to transcend the times and do some business in private? He has Yan Song as his backer, and he is an official of the fourth grade, and the conditions for doing business are unique. Taizhou is rich in cloth and tea. After taking office, first, we have to fight against the Japanese, and second, we can do a side job appropriately, pouring cloth and tea.
At night, in the palace of eternal life.
Emperor Jiajing had just finished attending Zen. Gonggong Lu was waiting for him on the side.
Lu Fang helped Emperor Jiajing beat his legs and said, "Your Majesty, that Lord Chen Di Chen is really a young talent. Before he went to Taizhou to take up his post, he thought of a lot of ways to fight against the Japanese invaders. ”
Emperor Jiajing nodded: "This person can be of great use." ”
Lu Fang said again: "But." ”
Emperor Jiajing asked, "But what?" ”
Lu Fang began to put on small shoes for the officials of the Six Science Corridor: "Lord Chen has come up with a way to use our Ming firearms to deal with the Japanese invaders. So he transferred a batch of firearms with Jiang Shilang Shen of the Ministry of War. The people in the Six Science Corridor said that this violated the Ming military system, and they wanted to join him! They also said that the Ming military system was decreed by the great grandfather, and even the emperor's holy decree could not be violated! ”
An old eunuch like Lu Fang can be described as an expert in sowing discord and complaining about the situation. In fact, when did Zhang Haixu, who was in the military department, say that even if the emperor's decree cannot violate the Ming military system?
Emperor Jiajing was furious: "This group of sour literati in the Six Science Corridor! Hum! Relying on the ancestral training of our Ming Dynasty not to kill the official, he jumped up and down all day long. Zhai Luan doesn't care! You will immediately go to the Ministry of War to spread my message, and all Chen Di's requests will be complied with! ”
