Chapter 142: Nanjing (30)

"Okay, the prince opened the mansion, the civil officials and military generals used a lot, and the expenses have to be extorted from us...... I can't wait, whoever has a way wants to go. Over there in Zuo Town, I am still asking for salary every day, and I am in the household department for a day, so I can only support Zuo Liangyu first! The southeast half of the wall, don't rely on him and rely on anyone! ”

"What kind of news department, every day, big and small, all the details are written up, inciting and demagoguery, don't think it...... Fang Yizhi and they are also confused, they are treated as big guns like this? ”

"The two associations and six standards, just the forehead of a general soldier, are you not satisfied with robbing Liu Zeqing? There were 5,000 strong soldiers, many of whom were cavalry, and they saw the sky wandering around the city. Have you heard of it? The military discipline was not very good a while ago, the prince severely scolded the generals, but there was no way, and the generals severely scolded the sergeants, and it was a mess! ”

"Nanjing is prosperous, these soldiers are not made by the prince himself, can the people's hearts be attached and obeyed? I see, when I go back to Huai'an in the future, I have to have fun. ”

After the cabinet was rebuilt, the first assistant used a large house alone, and there was a special group of cabinet officials and officials to assist them, whether it was official documents, official files, submissions from various ministries, or the Ming Fa edict transferred by the Military Affairs Department, from polishing to publishing, Shi Kefa could quickly issue it after he saw it.

That's it, every day just for the recital archiving, you have to see it from the morning to the evening.

Listening to Gao Hongtu keep scratching in front of him, Shi Kefa rubbed his sour eyes, and he was also slightly displeased. However, he has always been known for his surname, which is cautious and cautious when it sounds good, and soft and indecisive when it is difficult to hear.

So I don't want to break up in everything, and I don't want to do a lot of things, because I smiled at Gao Hongtu: "Why bother? There is a Minister of Military Affairs in military affairs, and after the prince opened the palace, the Generalissimo's Mansion also has a group of sons to assist His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so let's just do our part, can we do it? ”

Looking at Shi Kefa's expression, Gao Hongtu couldn't wait to wake up the person in front of him!

There is a military affairs department in military affairs, and the prince also leads the army to open the government, seeing that the military power and financial power, the local power is all in hand, how much territory is in the south of the Yangtze River, Huaiyang Xuzhou is stable and stable, Fengyang and Lu, Si Zhuzhou, can they keep it is still between the two.

The Donglin Party was originally the strongest, and it could dominate the big politics, but as a result, this stupid scholar in front of him could give up anything, and in the end, everything was asked to be taken away by others, and what was left of the Donglin Party!

However, it was not easy to say this directly in front of Shi Kefa, Gao Hongtu swallowed a bad breath, and said in a deep voice: "The prince opened a mansion, I think, he can open a mansion for Zuo Zhen, set up an official himself, and allow him to Yongzhen Wuchang, in this way, may it inspire the soldiers to serve the death loyally and bravely?" ”

This is also Gao Hongtu and Jiang Yueguang have mentioned it a few times, anyway, the prince opened the mansion because the emperor made up his mind, and with the current situation, it would be humiliating to come out and oppose it.

At present, the prince does not seem to have any prejudices against Donglin and the Fushe, and the cabinet and military ministers have been appointed, and the Donglin Party has not been excluded, and there are still many people in the Generalissimo's Mansion who have been reinstated.

The most valued civil official around the prince, Chen Mingxia is one, and his status will not be low in the future.

Fushe and Donglin are connected to each other, so there is no need to get along with the prince...... However, in order to expand the territory and power, Zuo Liangyu, a foreign aid, must be befriended well, and the best way is to let Zuo Liangyu, who has been made an earl, also add a general, and open the mansion for his own staff, so that the pattern will be big, and then there will be a world town in Wuchang...... In the future, when the emergency is urgent, can Zuo Liangyu still repay it with blood sincerity?

This method was put forward by Huang Shu, who was the most effective in guarding Kaifeng back then, and this cadre of the Donglin Party has always been known for being insidious and vicious, and this plan is also very in line with the intentions of Gao Hongtu and others, so he ran very energetically.

"Alas, let's talk about it, I have a lot of things here every day, the political axe has just been created, the emperor is diligent in government, and every day is an unfinished political affair......" Shi Kefa smiled bitterly, looked at Gao Hongtu, and only said: "Let me think about it again, okay?" ”

"Good, good!"

Gao Hongtu squeezed out two words between his teeth, and had the intention to give Shi Kefa some more depth, but when the words came to his mouth, he shrank back, and just said viciously: "Dao neighbor, if you don't fight, sooner or later you will be trampled on the soles of your feet, and at that time, your righteousness will be completely destroyed!" Hmph, don't say I didn't say anything! ”

As soon as he said that, he didn't wait for Shi Kefa to speak, and walked out of the cabinet with his head and tail.

His old man has always been late and early in the cabinet, and others are not easy to say, but many people hear the movement inside, and this time he will stick his head out and look at it, except for seeing a daze Shi Kefa, what else can he see?

............ "This is the one given by the master of the house, one for each person, counted in person, and then the list is not made up." ”

Just when Gao Hongtu stepped out of the door, in a three-storey restaurant near Dabao'en Temple, a group of brightly dressed men gathered around, and in the middle was a middle-aged fat man with rat beard and rat eyes, corrugated hat and five-blessing shirt, and the standard housekeeper dress of a rich and noble family.

The leftovers were pushed to both sides, and in the middle were a dozen or so small cloth bags, and the two Tsing Yi servants put the cloth bags away, and then quietly retreated to the back.

Seeing that everyone was a little stunned, and no one received the package, the middle-aged man cocked his beard and sneered: "What's the matter?" Two hundred taels of gold per person, full of red horseshoe gold, which is very little? ”

"How dare you mark it?"

Although he was wearing the clothes of the common people, his tone was out-and-out Qiu Ba, someone took the lead first, and then everyone picked up the cloth bag, one by one, all in their arms.

"That's good," the middle-aged man smiled and said, "The master of the family is waiting for the good news from everyone." ”

"What if this ......," the man who took the bag first hesitated, "what if the top is poor?" ”

"Doesn't the law blame the public, besides, don't make too much trouble, just find a reason to make trouble, don't make a mistake!"

"Okay, that's a good idea."

"Don't worry!" Seeing that everyone was still a little hesitant and panicked, the middle-aged fat man was very disdainful in his heart...... It's a shame that these people are all claimed to have been killed from the sea of corpses and blood! After thinking about it for a while, he reassured: "My master, you all know, as long as you work with peace of mind this time, you will never be treated badly." How is his old man treating his subordinates, you didn't ask? ”

It's because I inquired about it, so I'm very envious, so I put my head on both sides, and I want to serve with one mind...... If you talk too much, you won't be loud, and everyone in this room is just calming down and just nodding, but everyone's eyes are shining, it really looks like a litter of wild wolves!

………… Today is the time for the members of the Restoration Society to make an appointment for a small gathering. Mao Xiang chartered a river house, and the whole twenty or so river houses brought more than a dozen poems and dozens of summoned turtle princes, all of which were left.

Yesterday, the housekeeper came over, put ten taels and one ingots of silver on the table, and from the morning, the river house was ready for a banquet, what water and land eight treasures, the deer tail bear paw orangutan-lipped monkey brain is all alive, and the children are running back and forth in the yard with tea and vegetables, and they are all very excited.

These ministers of the restored society do not necessarily have a lot of money, but they have always been very generous. The service is happy, and the reward is indispensable.

The celebrities got up early to dress up, especially chose the fashionable light makeup, wiped the green gouache vigorously on the body, and some people quietly hid the recently written poems in their arms, and planned to sing and make peace with these talented masters...... Maybe any poem will become popular, and at the same time as it spreads all over the south of the Yangtze River, his own value, that is, a rising tide lifts all boats!

In the evening, a little like it was going to rain every night, riding a big green mule, Dong Xiaowan sat on a soft sedan chair carried by two people, and rushed over very excitedly.

"Say hello to the pretending minister!"

The turtle prince greeted him early, but his face was not quite right, and after asking Mao Xiang to say goodbye, he said: "Xianggong, who are the people who are invited today?" ”

"Brother Dingsheng, Brother Chaozong, Fang Mizhi...... What's wrong? ”

Mao Xiang only cared about the excitement of what he said, and in the end, he saw that the turtle looked wrong, because he smiled: "It's this rule every time, and people are almost the same, why is your face so ugly?" ”

"Back to Xianggong, the villains prepared for a day, but so far not a single guest has come."

"What?" Surprised, I couldn't help but stride into the river house, looked around, and sure enough, no guest arrived.

This river house is very quiet and elegant, drinking and writing poems near the river, looking at the scenery of Qinhuai, it is an old place where Mao Xiang and others get together every other time, saying that they take turns to be the east, but except for Gu Gao and Mao Xiang and Hou Fangyu, others are not very rich, so nine times out of ten, these three people take turns to post a treat.

If it were usual, most of the guests must have gathered here, and the inside and outside of the river house were full of people laughing and noisy, coupled with the fragrance of wine and coriander, and the single person who came must have laughed and talked with those girls, and the situation was also very fragrant and interesting...... Today it was empty, and there was not a single figure to look at.

"Hey, that's amazing!"

Mao Xiang looked in a daze, Dong Xiaowan also got down from the sedan chair, and when he saw this, he shook his head and said: "They are very busy when they say secrets, and they may not be free......"

"What do you know!" Mao Xiang was very impatient with her, and paused and said, "Don't talk!" ”

"Yes, the concubine has lost her words."

Mao Xiang's attitude towards Dong Xiaowan is not the same. Once you get upset, you get very irritable. Dong Xiaowan's eyes were slightly red, but she apologized to Mao Xiangfu, and then hung her head and said nothing.

Seeing her like this, Mao Xiang's heart softened, and he wanted to say something, but he was stuck in his throat and couldn't say it.

When he was helpless, he saw a young man in Tsing Yi riding over, dismounted five or six steps away, ran over and snorted, and said: "Xianggong, my lord and Master Chen, Master Fang, have all been left on duty, the lord said, this time I won't have time to come, and when I am free, I must put wine to make amends to Xianggong!" ”
