Emperor Chongzhen glanced at Fangzhenghua and nodded lightly, Fangzhenghua at this time was in control of the East Factory, and the East Factory was also ready to be used. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Without the slightest hesitation, Emperor Chongzhen said directly: "Check out the matter of King Hui's illness, you must find out!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the slave and maid will go back to arrange it immediately!" Fang Zhenghua nodded and hurriedly agreed.

Nodding slightly, Emperor Chongzhen once again ordered: "Out of the capital, the mansions of the vassal kings in various places should also be strengthened, so that your spies are attentive, once someone moves, I will get the news as soon as possible, understand?" ”

Tian Ergeng and Fang Zhenghua are awe-inspiring in the play, the emperor is afraid that someone will take the opportunity to make trouble, or even make a law! The two of them didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the emperor can rest assured, the ministers will arrange manpower when they go back, and there will be no mistakes." ”

Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Go down!" Go back and get ready! ”

The two of them retired, and Emperor Chongzhen gently rubbed his forehead, he was really tired. Things have come to this point, since the bow is opened, there is naturally no turning back, no matter what the situation, you must persevere to the end.

Looking at the slightly gloomy sky outside, Emperor Chongzhen sighed: "On this day, I'm afraid it's going to snow!" ”

"Your Majesty, it's cold, let's go back!" Wang Chengen saw Emperor Chongzhen standing there motionless, his face suddenly became a little anxious, and he said with concern: "The emperor can't get sick at this time, you have to take care of the dragon's body!" ”

Glancing at Wang Chengen, Emperor Chongzhen nodded, yes! You can't get sick at this time, you have to take care of your body!

In the harem, Queen Zhou has already seen her father, who is eager to come: "Father, sit!" Waving her hand to prevent her father from saluting, Queen Zhou pulled her father to sit down, and then said: "About the emperor's new policy, my father heard about it, right?" ”

Zhou Guozhang nodded, sighed and said, "Of course I heard about it, and now it has spread all over the capital." ”

"What's the reaction from the outside?" Empress Zhou thought for a moment and asked directly, "Especially those nobles!" ”

Honorable? Zhou Guozhang thought for a while, frowned and said: "They don't seem to have any reaction, as if they heard that King Hui is sick, and King Gui also went to King Hui's mansion, it seems that he is taking care of King Hui." After thinking about it again, Zhou Guozhang said: "As for the several Guogong Mansions, they seem to be very calm. ”

Empress Zhou suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and sure enough, it was normal for Xungui to react, and it was not normal for him to react.

As for the Guogong Mansion, since the founding of the country, he has not expressed his position in the Xuguo Mansion, and the others will definitely not come out, whether it is the Guogong Mansion or the Hou Ye's Mansion, they will look at the direction of the wind. After following Daming for so many years, they have long formed their own attitude towards the world.

These nobles, whether Liu Jin is in power or Wei Zhongxian is in power, all of them look like they have nothing to do with themselves, and they have never been involved in the struggle of the imperial court. This time it is obvious that the emperor is going to do something, and they will definitely not come out to make the right one.

Although the emperor asked them to pay taxes, but the emperor himself also paid taxes, they really couldn't find any reason, as nobles, they could fight with anyone, but it was absolutely impossible to oppose the emperor.

As for the emperor's relatives and relatives, they naturally look at the prince, and you must know that the two princes in Beijing are the emperor's uncles.

However, after listening to her father's words, Queen Zhou understood the attitude of King Hui and King Gui, and was obviously not ready to participate in this event.

With a sigh of relief in her heart, Queen Zhou turned her gaze to her father, if there are still people jumping out now, it must be the Shi clan, what is the representative of the Shi clan? Of course, even these officials in the DPRK, with their means, will definitely encourage others to come forward.

The old nobles and royal relatives don't make trouble, so it can be this upstart, the biggest among the upstarts is naturally their own father, the country's lord!

"Father, what are you going to do about this matter?" Empress Zhou looked at her father and asked expressionlessly.

Zhou Guozhang pondered for a moment, frowned and said: "Daughter, you don't have to worry, Dad is not confused, this time the matter is too big, whoever comes out first will not end well, now it's best to sit next to the side and watch the direction of the wind, Dad won't be stupid!" ”

Listening to her father's words, Empress Zhou suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded lightly: "It's so best!" ”

Seeing his daughter's appearance, Zhou Guozhang also sighed in his heart, his daughter was not raised in vain, after thinking about it, Zhou Guozhang still asked: "Daughter, do you say that the emperor can do this time?" The heart of a father always feels unsteady. ”

Empress Zhou sighed, in the past, the emperor would discuss anything with her, but she didn't know such a big thing, how could it be so? Queen Zhou didn't find a reason for a while, but she felt that she should talk to the emperor, thinking of this, Queen Zhou subconsciously touched her stomach.

The father and daughter reached an agreement on this matter, naturally there was no disharmony, and the topic became relaxed, and there were whispers in Kunning Palace from time to time.

Night soon fell, and the whole city of Beijing was plunged into darkness, and the north wind suddenly rose, and the snow fell with the north wind.

Dingguo Gong, the most prominent family in the Ming Dynasty, there is no one, the Xu family is after Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, one family, one queen, two concubines, and two princesses, and they are definitely the best among the nobles. The Duke of Wei is in Nanjing, and the Duke of Dingguo is in Beijing, one in the south and one in the north, and there are no two venture capitals.

At this time, the Duke of Dingguo was Xu Xi, sitting in the living room, looking at his son who was standing in front of him obediently, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

The little grandfather Xu Yunzhen smiled bitterly, half-bowed and said, "Father, something happened, don't we really take a stand?" There have been three or four waves of relatives in the house this afternoon, all of whom are saying that they are here to visit the house, but there is no need to say what they have done. ”

"There are also a lot of female dependents in the back house, and they didn't leave at night, they all stayed, and if this continues, our Guogong Mansion will be full."

Glancing up at his son, Ding Guogong put down the tea bowl in his hand and said with a smile: "So lively? Your mother must be happy, right? ”

The little grandfather Xu Yunzhen smiled bitterly in his heart, what's the use of his mother being happy? I'm going to be annoyed to death now, if this continues, my mother will be happy, and I don't know how to deal with it. couldn't help but look at his father with some resentment, waiting for him to make decisions for himself.

Seeing his son's appearance, Ding Guogong immediately laughed, he hadn't seen his son look like this for a long time, and he still missed it.

Xu Yunzhen smiled bitterly in her heart when she saw her father's appearance, but it was her own father, so she really couldn't say anything, so she had to stand aside.

"Alright, don't put on an ugly face!" Ding Guogong looked at his son, waved his hand and said, "It's not a big deal, it's also a thing?" After thinking about it, he said to the little grandfather Xu Yunzhen: "Tell me, what should we do in the Guogong Mansion?" ”

"Shall we?" The little grandfather Xu Yunzhen thought about it and said directly: "Don't say anything, look at the direction of the wind!" ”

Glancing at his son, Dingguo Gong said with some disappointment: "You! It's still a little tender, don't read any sage books all day long, it's stupid to read them. What are we? We are the Dingguo Mansion, and we have not yet expressed our position. ”

"You just let out the wind and say that our Dingguo Mansion is willing to take the lead in paying food, you know? That's it! Ding Guogong said in a rather serious tone.

"Why?" Xiao Guogong looked at his father and asked very incomprehensibly.

Glaring at his son, Xu Guogong said directly: "Why? Are you too embarrassed to ask why? Our Dingguo Mansion is deeply favored by the emperor and has been favored for generations, not to mention that the emperor asked us to pay taxes, even if the emperor made us bankrupt. ”

"What's more, is the emperor collecting taxes for himself? It's for the Ming Dynasty, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, our Guogong Mansion is bankrupt, it is the life of our whole family, I won't frown! After Xu Guogong spoke impassionedly, he seemed a little tired, and sat down and gasped for breath.

Seeing his son looking at him worriedly, Ding Guogong asked directly, "Do you understand?" ”

The little grandfather Xu Yunzhen nodded and muttered: "I understand, I can't teach people well, I have to shout at the top of my voice, for fear that others won't hear and tire myself out, right?" ”

"You know a, that's what you're saying to others!" Ding Guogong glared at his son: "You just let this out and spread it, the more people know, the better, you know?" Isn't it just paying some taxes, what's the matter? How much can our family pay? You don't go out a few times, it's all there. ”

"For this kind of, can you go against the emperor? What can be solved with silver, then it is not a thing! Dingguo Gong shook his head and taught his son: "If it is publicized like this, our Guogong Mansion will stand on the righteousness, do you understand Zhongjun?" ”

"Whether this matter is successful or not, the emperor will remember the favor of our Guogong Mansion, and we also have a reputation as a loyal monarch, why not? What if it happened? Isn't it just a little bit of silver every year, how much is it? The emperor rewarded you a little, and they all came back. ”

"Father really has a foresight!" The little grandfather Xu Yunzhen hurriedly said, it seems that he is really far from his father.

Snorted proudly, Ding Guogong gently patted his son's shoulder, looking like a father and a son: "By the way, after the news is released, you will go to Haisheng Commercial Bank, our family's glass quota is too small, let them mention it, and then contact the Wei Guogong Mansion to transport the things by ship first!" ”

"Father, Haisheng Commercial Bank is very domineering, relying on the support of people in the palace, and does not give us goods at all!" The little grandfather Xu Yunzhen said with a wry smile.

Stretched out his hand and slapped his son, Ding Guogong scolded: "You know a fart, do what I say, they will definitely increase the supply to you, I am such a smart person, how did I give birth to such a stupid son of you, get out, I will be angry when I see you!" ”

Xu Yunzhen, the little grandfather who was scolded by his father, didn't understand, and went back to his small courtyard with a mutter.
