Chapter Ninety-Four: From the Cabinet to the Eight Guest Tea House
"Why all the fuss...... Shen Wuyan has changed......"
Gao Gong's face turned from initial surprise to indifference now, until this time he still showed a hint of a smile, looking at Meng Chong with a blank face, he continued: "In the past, Shen Wuyan's family had a great business, and he dared to do anything...... Even Yan Song dared to move......"
Although Meng Chong was still a little eunuch in the palace back then, Shen Wuyan had sent Shen Wuyan imperial meals a few times when he went to Shangshan Prison, and the scholar's voice and smile seemed to be still in front of him. [Ran^Text^Library] []
recalled that when that person moved the capital overnight, he later beheaded the prince, causing all the officials in the capital to admire him.
When thinking back like this, Gao Gong was also pondering the events of the year in his heart, and he probably still had some lingering palpitations, but now that the past is gone with the wind, everything will never return.
"When he was assigned to Liaodong, he sold his shop so that my Majesty and I would think that he was indeed unwilling to fight...... Is that so? Probably just to paralyze me and Your Majesty, Your Majesty was really paralyzed by him......"
Gao Gong chuckled and said: "In the past year, the Jinyi Weidong Factory has been monitoring in Suzhou, but there has been no movement, and it is really calm, but this just shows that Shen Wuyan is terrible about this person......
"What does Elder mean...... Ming Xiu plank road, dark Chen Cang? Meng Chong suddenly understood and exclaimed.
Gao Gong nodded and smiled: "That's probably the case, wait for the favorable opportunity, and when we are all taken lightly, come and wait for a fatal blow...... Unfortunately, I never gave him that chance. β
"But it's still thoughtful." Meng Chong couldn't help but have a touch of surprise on his face, and sighed secretly in his heart: "These people are really powerful...... It's like a demon ....... β
Gao Gong glanced at Meng Chong and chuckled, "If Shen Wuyan is just like this, I don't have to guard against him like this...... When I left the capital, he actually took me off the water, which was really ...... That's it, don't mention it at this time. β
After a little hesitation, Gao Gong suddenly laughed and said, "It's a pity that Shen Wuyan has changed now...... The idea of returning to the capital is gone, and he has become a little man who is greedy for money...... Don't you want to build a road to Liaodong? 500,000 taels of silver...... Give it to him, and the household department will give him this money. β
"This ......" Meng Chong hesitated slightly.
Gao Gong sneered: "How can you get this silver when you build this road...... It's nothing more than trying to get money from the imperial court, and under the pretext of building roads, they are exploiting all the way, and in the final analysis, building roads is fake, and making money is real......"
"Such an upright greed for ink court silver, why is the elder of the pavilion still so indulgent?" Meng Chong was puzzled and said in a deep voice.
Gao Gong waved his hand and said lightly: "Silver is a trivial matter...... Let's just say Yin Zhengmao, although he is greedy for money, he can fight...... Shen Wuyan was greedy for money, so he did not threaten the court or His Majesty...... After all, the pros outweigh the cons. β
Meng Chong nodded knowingly.
Gao Gong suddenly said: "Suzhou doesn't need to send people over...... Let Dongchang and Jinyiwei come back...... Keep an eye on Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng......"
"Gonggong Feng and Zhang Ge Lao ......" If Shen Wuyan is already a passing moment, then these two at this time are the two most terrifying opponents in the court.
Feng Bao, who was the master of ceremonies at the time, had enough qualifications, as a close confidant of Huang Jin, who was the master of ceremonies and supervisors, and later accompanied the prince of Yuwangfu, and befriended Li Guifei, so the relationship with the queen was not bad.
If such a person becomes the master of ceremonies, even the head of the cabinet will be afraid of three points, but fortunately he is not now.
As for the tepid Mr. Zhang, now as the second assistant of the cabinet, although he does not do much on weekdays, as the proud protΓ©gΓ© of the former first assistant Xu Jie, he is not a simple person.
Now that Zhang Juzheng is the speaker of the little prince Zhu Yijun, and there is no doubt that Zhu Yijun is the future prince, then Zhang Juzheng's future status is also predictable.
Even if such two people are listed separately, it is enough to make the government and the opposition sigh, if they join forces, they will probably not be weaker than Gao Gong and Meng Chong's team.
After all, it is difficult for Meng Chong to convince the public from the Imperial Horse Supervisor to the palm seal, and the real prestige of the Master of Ceremonies is Feng Bao, although he can still suppress it now, the other party does not dare to make any big moves, and he is still waiting for an opportunity.
As for that Zhang Juzheng, after drafting the edict of the first emperor, he has great prestige in the court, and he has also brought out a number of strong talents over the years, such as Liaodong Li Chengliang and Qi Jiguang, who are all his cronies.
Gao Gong mentioned it like this, but it was also the first time, he was already cautious, and he could say it so openly, but it also showed that he had great trust in the Meng Gonggong in front of him.
After all, Meng Chong can go from being a little eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch to the current master of ceremonies, and this step to the sky is all his own credit, and he will definitely be grateful to himself.
The other party did this, whether it was to let the people of Dongchang and Jinyiwei be in charge by himself, and he was also quite responsible for the government, which can be described as loyal.
After a little hesitation, Gao Gong suddenly said again: "How is the matter of that martial girl...... Your Majesty is not a way to do this......"
Meng Chong's face changed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Your Majesty is very fond of Miss Wu, and the villain can't interject...... It's a bit difficult...... However, in recent days, according to the Jinyi Guard, I heard that the girl was not brought into the palace by Gonggong Chen......"
"It's not Chen Hong...... Gao Gong's heart sank, and he hurriedly asked, "Who is that?" β
Meng Chong looked around and saw that the four walls were quiet, so he lay down in Gao Gong's ear, whispered softly, and said, "It is said that it is a royal person...... So, it's not clear who it is for the time being......"
"Royal man......" Gao Gong's face suddenly changed greatly.
Although the Ming royal family does not have much real power, and most of the princes will be divided into various places in the Ming Dynasty, but the restrictions are also very great, there is no military power, and even without the permission of the emperor, even the back cover can not enter and exit without authorization.
However, this group of people has extremely high strength, as a royal family, even Gao Gong can't do anything with them, if Shen Wuyan can kill the prince like this, he is also the first person since the Ming Dynasty.
Gao Gong didn't think that he had the ability of Shen Wuyan, so he knew very well that it was better to care less about some things.
Probably chatting with Meng Chong for a while, there was nothing serious, and it happened that Zhang Juzheng also returned from running errands outside, Gao Gong sent Meng Chong away and went to Qianqing Palace instead.
β¦β¦
Shen Wuyan didn't know about this conversation about himself in the capital, and even Wang Tian couldn't find out.
Shen Wuyan didn't know that he had wandered around from the ghost gate for a while, and then returned to the yang world. What he only knows is that the road from Liaodong to Jiangsu and Zhejiang is not easy to repair.
In addition to the lofty mountains and mountains along the way, there are also scattered mountain bandits, robbers and bandits, and even some bullies and heroes in some villages and towns, who don't even pay attention to the imperial court at all.
Shen Wuyan didn't waste this opportunity, and took the opportunity to let the ancestor take a team of thirty-six people to wipe out the bandits all the way, and for a while, the road to the border city was extremely clean.
Of course, this road is not in vain, every time you hit a cottage, you will loot the bandits who are rampant on weekdays, from robbery to robbery, the feeling is quite different, but it can only be so.
And this team composed of thirty-six people who were quite jerky at the beginning has now become an iron army of thirty-six earth-shattering ghosts and gods, crisscrossing the Liaodong area, invincible.
While building roads, while breaking the cottage, silver money is naturally indispensable everywhere you go.
It wasn't until December that the road began to take shape, but it was much better than ever.
Shen Wuyan roughly calculated that this journey from Suzhou to Liaodong could save almost half of the time, but it made Shen Weijing make a lot of money.
And the most surprised was the shopkeeper of the Sun family in Liaodong, he still didn't understand how Shen Wuyan said that the imperial court sent 500,000 taels of silver to repair the road, and he didn't understand that the imperial court actually sent someone to clean up the repair.
If this was already unbelievable to him, then when he knew that the people sent out had passed through, and local officials were constantly coming to give gifts, he was so shocked that he couldn't even hold back the chopsticks in his hand.
So although the weather is cold in winter and the fingers cannot be bent and stretched, the shopkeeper of the Sun family still braves the biting north wind, wears a heavy coat, and walks towards the Xingbake Teahouse.
West.
The market is closed in winter, and all industries are closed, but only Xingbake Tea House is still full of people, and there are constantly customers and businessmen coming and going, which makes the roadside vendors extremely envious.
But in this weather, although there are all kinds of silk and porcelain transported by the Shen Family Dart Bureau, and other items from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, after all, even Liaodong is in short supply, so how can they be sold to Mongolian merchants.
So that in the west of the city, except for tea, there is nothing else, only Xingbake Tea House is outstanding.
These days, the tea house is busier than ever, probably because in a few days, the Mongolian merchants will be blocked by the heavy snow, but they will not be able to come, so they must stock up in advance.
So that the whole shop was busy, but Shen Wuyan was still leisurely, in addition to reading and writing, he was teaching students to read, or drawing something by himself.
Shopkeeper Sun swept through this lively shop, couldn't help frowning, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this scholar did have some skills, and then thought of the other party's unashamed words a few months ago, but now he did it, and his face suddenly turned red again.
While he was thinking like this, he suddenly heard a soft voice.
"Yo, this is not the shopkeeper Sun...... Come up and sit ......."
Looking up, the scholar was grinning at himself as he leaned against the railing.
Shopkeeper Sun sneered and said, "Shopkeeper Shen's business is not small......
Shopkeeper Sun smiled...... Compared to your Sun family, this small shop is really not worth mentioning......" The scholar chuckled, and then beckoned the shopkeeper Sun to go up.
Shopkeeper Sun snorted lightly, then walked into the shop, turned to the second floor, and saw the scholar sitting in front of the stage and soaking his feet.
