At this time, Zhu Changluo was interested, put down the note transferred from the cabinet in his hand, and asked with interest. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Oh, Gonggong Chen is very fast, he did it so quickly, what is the effect? Also, how long is the mission until it enters Beijing? ”

Wang An suddenly scratched his head a little and said.

"Your Highness, this news has just been released, but now I don't see any effect! However, on the side of the mission, an official document had already been sent, saying that it would arrive in Beijing in three days, Your Highness, you said this...... Is it in time? ”

"Just in time!"

Zhu Changluo was very determined, and said lightly.

"This Jingshi is not a place to hide news!"

The capital has always been a place without secrets, especially when the news in the officialdom spreads even faster.

Just when Zhu Changluo was sitting in the mansion, he was in the drunken immortal restaurant in the capital.

"Brother Liu, I heard about the recent incident in Beijing!"

Zuixian Restaurant is the most famous restaurant in Beijing in recent years, no one knows who the owner behind it is, but it can gain a foothold in Beijing, but there is no doubt that there is a background, and more importantly, the box design of Zuixian Restaurant is very large, which is different from the current warm small attic, and the decoration style is elegant, and the store is even more wealthy, inviting many famous Qing people to play the piano and compose.

Many officials and gentry like to discuss affairs here, not only because of the good service of the Zuixian Restaurant, but also because they are relieved that the design of the box of the Zuixian Restaurant is wide and unobstructed, which also avoids the risk of having ears on the partition wall to the greatest extent.

In today's box, there are two old men in brocade clothes, who look about fifty years old, and the person who speaks is the one who is slightly thinner, who looks very shrewd.

"There are countless major events that happen every day in this Jingshi, but I don't know what Brother Li is referring to? The people in this drunken immortal building are all notoriously strict-mouthed, Brother Liu is a little too careful! ”

The person who answered was a little fatter, but there was also an official atmosphere between his gestures, but the old man surnamed Liu was obviously a little unhappy, he had been in love with the Mingxiang girl who was playing the qin for a long time, and he finally found her to serve once, so he was disturbed.

The rules of the drunken fairy building, the people who serve are Qing people, unless they voluntarily go with you, no matter how powerful they are, it is said that in the early years, there were a few gentlemen who did not know each other, and made trouble in the drunken fairy building, but it didn't take half an hour to be beaten and thrown out with a blue nose and swollen face, and in the end, this drunken fairy building had nothing to do, which shows the strength of its background.

"Oh, Brother Liu, don't drink it! A few days ago, Gonggong Chen, who was the celebrant supervisor, went to the Li family with a will and gave the Li family a reward of 400,000 taels of silver, did Brother Liu hear about it? ”

The old man surnamed Li didn't have time to deal with the dissatisfaction of the old man surnamed Liu, and said in a hurry.

"The Li family? Isn't that Brother Li's family? The old man is not drunk yet! ”

The old man surnamed Liu put down his wine glass, but he didn't care.

"It's not the old man's family, it's the Li family who married Chongxin Bofu, yesterday Chen Gonggong took the will, saying that the Japanese mission was about to return to the capital, in order to reward the Li family for offering silver to fund military spending, he specially rewarded 400,000 taels of silver!"

Looking at the latter's indifferent appearance, the tone of the old man surnamed Li became more and more impatient, but he still explained patiently.

The old man surnamed Liu saw the solemnity of what the old man surnamed Li said, his face slowly became serious, and he frowned.

"Brother Li, isn't that a good thing? If the old man remembers correctly, you and my family have funded this army of peaceful widows, a few days ago, my old father also came to the door on purpose, let the old man help, and quickly let the widow country pay silver, otherwise his money will be wasted, now that His Majesty has fulfilled his promise, presumably I don't have to be nagged by the family for this matter, why does Brother Li seem so anxious? ”

"Of course it's time to hurry! Brother Liu knew that after Gonggong Chen sent the silver to the Li Mansion, news came out in the palace that Chongxin Bofei Jiajin, who was originally scheduled to participate in the three major battalion examinations with the Military Metropolitan Inspectorate, was inexplicably replaced by Lingbi Hou Chang Yinxu! ”

The old man surnamed Li sighed and said.

Suddenly made the old man surnamed Liu a spirit, if he still didn't understand the meaning of the former, he would have been in the officialdom for so many years.

"What does Brother Li mean, what is the connection between these two things?"

"Of course there is a connection, that day Chen Gonggong Ke also went to several other families, but not a businessman, it is a few relatives who offered silver, it is said that those few people invariably refused to reward the silver, only accepted the will, as for the silver two were brought back intact, two days later, the palace passed the will, and the descendants of those families were summoned into the preparation of the Japanese army......"

The old man surnamed Li continued, but he was interrupted by the old man surnamed Liu halfway through his words.

"Brother Li, slow down, as far as the old man knows, isn't this reserve army set up by His Majesty to settle those gentlemen? It's not a good thing that this descendant was called into the garrison army, isn't it......"

If it is a concubine of the side lineage, it is of course a good thing to be thrown into the reserve army, after all, there is one more opportunity to make meritorious contributions, if you can survive, you may be able to catch the big ship of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince when you come back in a few years.

But this descendant has always been retained to inherit the title of family business, and he was transferred to the reserve army, and he didn't see each other for a few years, which is not a good thing!

"Brother Liu doesn't know, the children of these families were called in, but unlike other families, it is said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally met with them a few days ago, and ordered them to lead a thousand men and horses to participate in the military election of the three major battalions, and the person who wins the most is expected to directly become the general of the guard!"

"What?!"

The old man surnamed Liu couldn't sit still this time, and asked in a hurried tone.

"This ...... Is it all because of that silver tael? ”

"What if it weren't?"

The old man surnamed Li asked rhetorically.

"If you want to say that this candidate to lead the Bei Wei army, there are famous families in the Jingshi, not to mention anything else, just the Fei family, but the most promising, but this time, the Fei family didn't even enter the candidate list, but these unknown relatives for so many years have sprung up, I'm afraid this matter is not simple!"

"But...... The emperor did this for the sake of this silver, and it was inevitable that ......"

The old man surnamed Liu still didn't believe it, but his expression was very hesitant.

But the old man surnamed Li sneered and said.

"The silver? Brother Liu, I am afraid that there are 20 million taels of silver brought back by the Bei Japanese army this time, of which nearly 10 million taels of silver will be sent to various families and merchants. What's more, it's our majesty who regards wealth as his life! Don't blame the old man for not reminding you, Ming Sui...... But it's the year of Jingcha! ”

"Thank you Brother Li for reminding me, the old man will go back and warn the old father at home that if His Majesty really sends a reward for silver, he can't accept it no matter what! Don't lose a big deal because of a small thing! ”

After hearing this, the old man surnamed Liu was taken aback and arched his hand.

After that, he couldn't even wait for half a moment, so he got up and went back directly after confessing his guilt......

But what he didn't expect was that when he left, the old man surnamed Li shrugged his shoulders a little helplessly and said to himself.

"Brother Liu, this is your own guess, don't blame the old man if you're wrong! Who told you to value your official position so much, these silver taels, you should buy a peace of mind......"
