Chapter 246: Door-to-door debt collection
"What? Mrs. Shouning Hou was kicked out of Cining Palace! And then what? ”
Liu Jian, a scholar, is strict and solemn, and all the subordinates in Liu's Mansion follow the rules, and there are few gaffes, and Liu's Mansion is usually very quiet.
However, today is a little different, just when Zhengde coaxed the old lady, there was a loud roar from Liu Fuzhong, the sound shook the four fields, echoing endlessly, and the people subconsciously raised their heads, and found that the sound came from the study, so they bowed their heads and stood solemnly. It is a place where the lord entertains guests, and it is common for adults to roar a few times occasionally, otherwise how can it reflect the high status of adults?
The man who was in the center of the storm didn't think so, he just felt that he was unlucky to get home, just to deliver a letter, and was actually watched by three pavilion elders and a scholar. It's nothing just to watch, but the eyes of these four adults are sharp, especially their own masters, who want to breathe fire in their eyes, as if they are going to tear themselves apart, how can this stand it?
He trembled and said, "Master, then ...... No, I don't. ”
Han Wen was even more angry, took a step forward, grabbed the collar of the messenger, and roared angrily: "How could it not be? Where did Mrs. Shouninghou go? What is going on in Cining Palace? What is the emperor doing? You lazy thing, aren't you lazy and didn't keep an eye on it, and now you're here to perfunctory your own official? ”
"The two ladies went back to their respective homes, Cining Palace...... The little ones don't know, but there's really no movement in the Forbidden City......"
"Guandao, don't be anxious first, the news in the palace will be delivered soon, wait and talk, wait and talk."
Although Han Wen acted alone, he had discussed it with several ministers in advance, and his intentions were also good, so the three scholars did not think it was angry, and they knew why Han Wen was out of shape. Even the house has added a deposit, Lord Han has already smashed hundreds of thousands of taels for this, seeing that success is imminent, but the most sure and important link has a problem, how can he not be in a hurry?
Although Xie Qian was comforting with warm words, he was also muttering in his heart, how could the Queen Mother be indifferent when his uncle was taken captive? Although Empress Dowager Zhang's surname is gentle, but her younger brother was arrested, even if she doesn't make trouble, she at least has to ask the emperor to intercede, right?
This has nothing to do with the person who reported the news, Han Wen himself doesn't know, it's just that his expectations are too big and his investment is also great, so he is extremely disappointed, which leads to a gaffe. After listening to Xie Qian's persuasion, he let go of his hand, took a few steps back, only to feel that his whole body had no strength, and finally sat down on the chair, and for a while, several people were also speechless.
If such a major event had happened in the past, the news in the palace would have come out as soon as possible, but today, even the people from the Han Mansion came to report the news, and Wang Yue still didn't move at all, and several ministers were actually very upset.
Since the Hongzhi period, the courtiers have not felt like this for a long time, and they used to be in the palm of their hands! But now, although Wang Yue has no signs of deviating from the foreign dynasty, he is shrinking from acting in the palace, and even the control of the foreign dynasty has decreased a lot, and now even the news is so slow, how can the ministers not be bored?
It's all the fault of that annihilator! Could it be that the annihilator is really a plague god? Otherwise, every time something has something to do with him, why does it become so weird?
"Master, the messenger in the palace has arrived......" In anxious waiting, the messenger finally arrived.
"Quick, let him in." Liu Ge Lao got up suddenly, and commanded urgently, and when he spoke, his beard was shaking, which was a rare gaffe. Using the Queen Mother to suppress Zhengde is not Han Wen's opinion alone, but the consensus reached by everyone, if it can't be done, then the foreign dynasty will lose another trump card, and Liu Jian can't help but be nervous.
"Little princess, how is the movement in the palace? Can the Queen Mother issue a decree? ”
The person who came was Wang Yue's godson, Wang Yue used to send messengers, but now he is much more cautious, all the messages are oral messages, and the picture is a plan to leave no pen and ink and no evidence.
He was invested, but Han Wen was more concerned than others, and when he saw someone coming, he hurriedly asked, and his tone was much more polite than usual. Wang Xiaoyu was a little flattered, and he was about to say thank you, but he couldn't resist the urging of Hangul, so he replied:
"There is no movement in the palace, and the queen mother has no will, but the emperor went to Cining Palace, talked to the queen mother, and heard that Xie Hong was also mentioned, and the report in it said: The queen mother is quite happy, the joy is endless, and the words are also very much praise for Xie Hong......"
Sizzle! The emperor coaxed the queen mother quite happily? When did he get this ability? And...... The Queen Mother praised Xie Hong very much? Could it be that Xie Hong caught the wrong person? It's too weird, right?
"How is that possible? The Queen Mother is from a scholarly family, she has always been righteous and knows how to advance and retreat, how can she praise Xie Hong and others...... It's unreasonable! It doesn't make sense at all, huh? Han Wen expressed the doubts in everyone's hearts.
"This ...... The slave didn't know, in short, everything was as usual in the palace, and at lunchtime, the queen mother ate more than usual, so ......" Wang Xiaoyu smiled and had a good attitude, but several adults didn't care, and they didn't get the answers they wanted from each other's mouths, and several people were very disappointed.
"Come on, please go to the back hall to serve tea and entertain well." Liu Jian waved his hand and asked people to take Wang Xiaoyu down.
In the past, it was impossible for Wang Yue's messenger to have such treatment, and there was no routine reward here for the honest and honest Liu Gelao, so what kind of hospitality did he talk about? However, Liu Ge also knows how to be flexible, now is an extraordinary period, and there must be no mistakes in such details.
The four people present are almost 300 years old combined, and they are restrained everywhere when they fight with two teenagers, and several people express their unacceptability to this fact. There was another silence, and everyone knew that in such an atmosphere, there would be no result to be discussed, so after a while, they left one after another, and the matter was already like this, and they were not in a hurry to deal with Annihilation for a while.
With disappointment and doubts in his heart, Han Wenqiang returned to the yamen.
Not long after sitting down in the hall, I heard a commotion outside, and before Hanwen asked people to check, a principal hurriedly ran in, and saw that the principal looked anxious and a little angry.
"Han Butang, there's something going on outside, go and take a look."
"Chief Tang, you are also an official of the imperial court, you must always be vigilant, it is unseemly to be so embarrassed!" Han Wen's mood was not high, and when he saw that Chief Tang looked angry, he was even more in a bad mood, so he first reprimanded the other party a few words, and then asked coldly, "What's the matter?" ”
"That's what Lord Ministry's teachings." Director Tang was infected by the calmness of his own adult, and his mood calmed down a lot, first admitting his mistake sincerely, and then getting to the point: "Someone came to the yamen to ask for money." ”
"Humph!" Han Wen immediately wanted to scold, but after thinking about it, he held back, snorted coldly, and said, "Master Tang, are you here to entertain the headquarters?" ”
The household department is in charge of the treasury, and there are many people who go to the yamen to ask for money, and there are at least 300 days a year when people ask for money; There are sixty days left, and those who ask for money go directly to Shangshu Mansion. If there is someone who asks for money, Shangshu will have to meet him, so Lord Han has to stay in the yamen every day? Is that what Shangshu should do?
"But...... Adults, people who ask for money...... I want to find an adult by name, and ...... They are under the name of Nanzhen Fusi! ”
"Nanzhen Fuji? Let them! Tell them that their money does not belong to the household department, and let them go to the plague god! "Han Wen's heart is full of evil fire, and this fire is all because of Xie Hong, where will there be any good words when I hear Nanzhen Fusi.
"My lord, the lower officials have said it, but they don't leave, and they keep making noise."
"Take the post of the headquarters to the Shuntian Mansion and go to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses," Han Wen was furious and shouted: "You dare to attack the important land of the imperial court, let them send people, and arrest all those lawless fans to the headquarters hall!" ”
"The patrol sergeants of the Terracotta Division and the officials of the Shuntian Mansion have already come, but they don't dare to do it......"
The six yamen are in the same place, which is one of the most important places in the capital, how can the soldiers and horses in charge of the security of the capital and the Shuntian Mansion be neglected? As soon as there was a commotion here, the household department went to greet them, and the people on both sides arrived.
But the two yamen were scared by Nanzhen Fusi, and they were frightened away by the thousand households who were the leader outside, and Director Tang urged him repeatedly, but he refused to come forward, and Director Tang was helpless.
"Then go to the military department! Let the military department transfer the Beijing camp, no matter if he is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven or what, the big crime of impacting the important land of the imperial court cannot be escaped no matter what, tell Liu Shangshu, just say that it is said by the headquarters of the department, let him be killed, there is no merit! ”
Han Wen doesn't believe in this evil, how important is the household yamen, compared to the Forbidden City, it is not much better, only slightly inferior to Wenyuan Pavilion, is it possible that the fans can still fight the holy decree of the yamen? Even if there is that kind of absurd holy decree, the imperial court dispatches troops to suppress it, it is completely in the past, after all, this is the center of the imperial court, how can it be humiliated?
"But...... Lord Ministry, Fanzi didn't rush in, they just shouted in front of the door, so they can also transfer troops? Han Wen was full of pride, and he commanded Fang Xuan, but Tang was very hesitant: "And...... Except for the thousand households who took the lead, everyone else is not a fanzi, just some scoundrels in the market. ”
"Then what are Shuntianfu and Terracotta still hesitating about? Anyway, they are also soldiers who eat the court's money, and if they can't deal with the border army, can't they even deal with a group of scoundrels now? Chief Tang, you go and tell them, let them send a message to Yan Fu Yin and Zhao Commander, if they can't return the household yamen to a quiet place, then they don't want to think about this year's Yulu! ”
Director Tang was frightened by Han Wen's anger, he knew that his own master was already extremely angry, otherwise he would not have said it so bluntly, and he didn't dare to say more, so he shrunk his neck and walked out.
"In addition, I also sent a post to the Ministry of War and told Liu Shangshu the same thing." As soon as he arrived at the door, Han Wen added coldly.
"Yes." Director Tang secretly complained bitterly and told Liu Shangshu this? What kind of temper is Liu Butang? Isn't that looking for a squirt? However, knowing that Han Wen was angry, he didn't dare to refute it, and he just thought about the person who could be instructed, so as to push out this errand that offended people.
"I want to see the liveliness of the old man, but it's not so easy." After the figure of Chief Tang disappeared, Han Wen was still angry, looked out of the door, and sneered again and again.
