Chapter 241: Serial Scheme
It's Mayday, and the excitement of the capital continues.
Since the first month of the holy car out of the patrol, the capital has not stopped for a moment, although the protagonist is that person every time, but the tricks are constantly renovated, so that the people who watch and listen to the excitement are interested, and they can't stop.
Now, the gambling fight between the unique uncle of the country and the premier courtier has become a hot topic in the capital, about the requirements of the Marquis of Shouning, about Xie Hong's response, and even the final victory, there are many theories, but no one dares to make a conclusion. After all, Xie Hong has always had great powers, and Shou Ninghou's request is also incredible, which is indeed indecisive.
There are a lot of curious people, and the construction of the Shouning Hou Mansion has also begun, but no one dares to go to the onlookers, because Xie Hong has spoken, this is the closed construction of the royal engineering team, and those who dare to approach are the same as snooping on the royal secrets.
Xie Hong's reputation is outside, and there are previous examples, after his words were released, whether it was curious or had other thoughts, he didn't dare to approach.
Curiosity is certainly not risking one's life for the sake of curiosity; The most important thing is that the plague god may also smash out a bunch of holy decrees, and when the time comes, it will all die in vain, who will go up to the chase to find abuse?
As a result, more people turned their attention to another topic.
This topic itself is more interesting, the plague god actually responded to the request of Lichun Yuan, to help the green building reverse the status quo, regain the name of the first floor of the capital, with a little lace, always more popular than serious topics.
What's more, this thing is so reverie!
Whether the plague god used the ancient secret room technique to win, or relied on the advantage of talent to attract popularity, people also debated endlessly, so that Xie Hong's tricks had not yet come out, and the popularity of Lichun Yuan had risen a lot out of thin air, but it exceeded the expectations of the parties, after all, the old bustard Chunli had no concept of what star effect was.
Fortunately, the suspense did not last too long this time, but it was only more than ten days, and the Lichun Courtyard had not yet been seen in detail, and the Shouning Hou Mansion had been completed here.
The capital was noisy again, and countless people rushed to Shangshu Street from all directions, because the new Shouning Hou was here.
Although there is no way to enter the Hou Mansion and see the process of acceptance with my own eyes, it is always more reassuring to be nearby, and it is good to take a look from afar. Even if you can't see it, if it's close, wouldn't it be faster to get the news?
You know, there are a lot of people who participated in today's acceptance. In order to ensure a fair surname, Shou Ninghou invited guests and friends, and the plague god also readily agreed.
As a result, not only the wealthy merchants in the city, but even the ministers of the court and the central government also participated in it, plus the big man who might be present on the side of the plague god, the housewarming of Shouning Hou was also unprecedented.
In front of the Shouning Marquis's Mansion, Zhang Heling was standing with a red face, his face was already red, and he wanted to shine through the light at this moment. In addition to the big pie that fell out of thin air, he was also very satisfied with today's grand scene.
There are three or four squires, and there are countless officials below the third grade, and there are even heavyweights like Hanwen, the head of the household, how can they talk about it in the same way as Leng Qing in the past?
Because of his happiness, he even forgot the unhappiness that his master had been turned away, and the other party was a courtier who did not know how to be respectful and humble, courteous and shameful, and after today, the old and new hatreds were ended together.
"Master Hou, it's not too early, let's go in, right?" Han Wen arched his hand to Zhang Heling and said with a smile.
"What Han Butang said is very true, and it is time to make an appointment." With short hands, not to mention the other party's status is very high, although Zhang Heling is irritable, he is not a brainless person, and his attitude towards Hanwen is also very polite. Among the people who agreed to come back today, Hangul is the highest, and since he has arrived, there is naturally no need to wait.
"Li Shilang, as the saying goes: there is a specialization in the art industry, and now I will rely on it a lot." Maybe it's because this was originally his own mansion, and Hanwen has a bit of the appearance of a master, greeting him around, and he doesn't see politeness at all. The first person he greeted was Li Qi, the left attendant of the Ministry of Works.
Although among the people who came, there were people with higher status such as Gu Zuo, the left attendant of the household department, and Li Jie, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, but during this period of time, Zeng Jianlian, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, said that he was sick, and Li Qi, who acted as the acting officer, was already the new secretary, so Han Wen was the first to greet him.
However, in Li Qi's ears, Hangul's praise is not a good word, he is different from Zeng Jian, he has no interest in craft, let alone no desire. For him, serving in the Ministry of Industry is just a qualification, and even if he is a scholar, it will not help him for his future promotion. Of course, there may be more benefits than they do now, but that's about it.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he smiled, and said: "Although the lower officials are not talented, but after all, they are also born on the right path of the imperial examination, and the teachings of the saints must not dare to be forgotten for a while. ”
Although the gentlemen claim to be self-explanatory, in fact, in theory, they are shrewd and shrewd, so naturally there are many lawsuits between the two ministries, and the relationship between the officials of the two ministries can be imagined.
Although the Korean language has the meaning of irony, Li Qi's words are not only clear, but also have the meaning of counterattack.
"Confronting a villain of a courtier, where is the use of Li Shilang? Ben Hou has already invited Master Wu and other famous craftsmen in Beijing to be here, and Xie Xiaothief is making some kind of mystery, and he will definitely not be able to escape the eyes of several masters. Zhang Songling saw that the atmosphere was a little stiff, and hurriedly stood up to play a round.
Master Wu and other famous craftsmen heard Zhang Songling mention their names, and they also hurriedly came out to greet them, craftsmen and craftsmen are different, they are not Xie Hong, but they dare not snub the members of the DPRK and China.
Although they are jealous and resentful of Xie Hong, they are all happy to see Xie Hong's appearance.
I met a university scholar a while ago, but today even Uncle Guo treated him politely, and I saw Shangshu Shilang again...... Although people don't take care of themselves very much, what an honor it is to be able to walk with adults as a craftsman!
For a few famous craftsmen, Han Wen just glanced at it lightly, and didn't care, he was originally not interested in handicraft, but after seeing the prosperity of Zhenbao Zhai, he was moved. To be able to take charge of the household department, in addition to being an official, you must also understand the doorway of doing business, otherwise you can only be an ornament.
Han Wen had estimated the profit of Zhenbao Zhai, and he didn't know Xie Hong's kindness to craftsmen, so the results were extremely amazing, and even he, the head of the household, was very hot, and even moved the idea of collecting commercial taxes in the capital.
Of course, this idea is unrealistic, not to mention how many people's interests have been touched by this policy, and how much backlash it will cause, the collection of taxes will always not receive the emperor's head. If it was in the past, Han Wen's idea could have been planned, what is the big deal about Huangzhuang, wasn't it Lord Han who proposed to remove Huangzhuang in the first place?
But now, with Xie Hong's idea and the disintegration of the alliance of the courtiers, the emperor is already grateful for not taking the initiative to make trouble for the ministers, and who will mention anything to remove the emperor.
Besides, the last time the court discussed it, it was called a loss of power and humiliation of the country, and now, the legal surname and orthodox surname of Huangzhuang have become the public opinion of the government and the opposition, what else is there to do? Even if they want to stop, they have to wait for the current ministers to step down, otherwise do they want to beat themselves up?
But it's not a matter of letting go of Zhenbao Zhai, even if you don't consider the eyes of adults, you can't let the emperor do whatever he wants!
Now, due to Wang Yue's cowering, the constraints on the emperor in the palace have dropped to the lowest point in history, the emperor is called a wandering whereabouts, if it is not for the court meeting to see each other, everyone thinks that the emperor has sneaked out of Beijing again, otherwise why can't he be found all the time?
The plan of the household department to blackmail the emperor with money has been ruined; And under Li Dongyang's initiative, the boycott of Zhenbao Zhai has not had any effect at all. The courtiers were disappointed, but they couldn't help but be a little annoyed and angry, although they couldn't eliminate the rift for a while and joined forces again, but they all had some plans.
Han Wen was the first to be calm, but with the precedent of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment, he naturally would not repeat the mistakes of the past and face Xie Hong in person. He took a detour and did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to invite Shou Ninghou, because Zhang Heling was famous for his simple mind and irritability.
Han Wen pondered, it would be good if Zhang Heling could clash with Xie Hong, and it would be best if Xie Hong beat Zhang Heling so that the Queen Mother couldn't recognize it. In this way, if her younger brother is beaten, no matter how much the Queen Mother doesn't like to take care of things, she will take action against Xie Hong, right?
Of course, this is only the best result, if it doesn't work, it is not bad to respond to the needs of Zhenbao Zhai, and it is not bad to hit Xie Hong's reputation. When it first opened, Ma Yongcheng thought of this, compared to IQ or political experience, Hangul is much higher than Ma Yongcheng, Ma Yongcheng's worry is that Hangul is a flaw in Zhenbaozhai.
So, he ordered someone to collect the three strange requirements and told Zhang Heling that it would be difficult for Zhenbao Zhai as a problem. Later, Xie Hong directly opened a sky-high price, but Han Wen did not flinch.
This is a serial plan, not to mention his confidence in the three problems, even if there is an accident, the big deal is not to ask for the 100,000 taels of deposit, is it possible that Xie Hong can still chase after Uncle Guo to ask for debts? If that's really the case, it's better, as long as they clash and the news reaches the ears of the Queen Mother, what will she think about it?
Thinking of this, Han Wen even expected Xie Hong to complete those three problems, but his reason told him that it was impossible. He shook his head with a slight regret, he had spent so much effort to set up a clever plan, but it was only to deal with two courtiers and relatives who didn't read.
Thinking about Yan Xiangguo, who killed three soldiers with two peaches, and then thinking about Wang Situ, who killed Dong Zhuo with a serial scheme, Han Wen couldn't help but sigh, it was really a pearl.
Han Wen is the mastermind, Gu Zuo, the head of the household department, is the accomplice, and as for the other officials, including Li Qi, most of them came to see the excitement, one is to satisfy their curiosity, and now they are more or less involved with Zhenbao Zhai, so they are naturally more concerned than before.
In this gambling battle, if Shou Ninghou wins, then Zhenbao Zhai will naturally lose face, and a new round of action to eliminate the annihilation will probably also be released.
But if Zhenbao Zhai wins, the reputation will definitely be greater, and if such a problem can be completed, then Xie Hong's skills may only be described by heaven and man, then you have to let the next people hurry up to add orders, making money is the most important thing.
The high-risk, low-reward work of killing and destroying the people should be handed over to Shangshu and the ministers.
