Ji Gang immediately laughed when he heard this, Tang Ming's cheerfulness made him very pleased, he had already brought his family with him to visit in the middle of the night tonight. He will have to leave for Beiping early tomorrow morning, if he doesn't settle his family now, how can Ji Gang leave with peace of mind.
"Master Hou has such a Yaxing, the envoy should have been accompanied, but he can't be accompanied by mundane things, ashamed and ashamed!" Ji Gang clenched his fists with both hands and sighed.
"Oh, I don't know why Lord Ji is entangled in mundane things, I can't help but say it, if my little brother has the opportunity to help, I will definitely help." This was not Tang Ming's kind words, but he really wanted to help Ji Gang.
The establishment of the East Factory is already a sure thing, and the emperor's intention is to use the East Factory to suppress Jinyiwei, so that the two families can contain each other and not let one dominate. Tang Ming considered that Dongchang was Li Xingzai's business, and added the unfriendly relationship between Zheng He and him.
Now that there is Ji Gang of Jinyiwei to show his goodwill, he naturally has to seize the opportunity, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, such a simple truth Tang Ming naturally understands.
Ji Gang didn't say anything when he heard this, he directly picked up the wine glass that Tang Ming had poured for him, and tilted his head back and wiped it clean. Then he wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "With Hou Ye's words, what else do I Ji Gang have to worry about, don't hide it from Hou Ye, Ji Gang is here tonight with his family." I also asked Hou Ye to settle Ji Gang, and he didn't thank him, in the future, Hou Ye will never shirk if he needs Ji Gang. β
"Oh!"
Tang Ming was shocked and asked suspiciously: "Why does Lord Ji need to be like this, Tang Ming has already agreed to settle your family, but in the past two days, because the emperor has ordered me to wait a few more days before I can return to the fiefdom, the younger brother did not go to pick up the eldest brother's family." Now that the eldest brother is acting in such a hurry, is there something important, and the younger brother doesn't know if he can know a thing or two? β
"Alas, it's not a secret, the eldest brother received news from Beiping tonight, and the Tatars have recently become active in the frontier of my Ming Dynasty, and it seems that a large army is coming. This matter is the emperor's lifelong headache, and because the eldest brother and I are not effective, I have not been able to find out the real reality of Tatar now, Long Yan was furious, the eldest brother I was ordered to rush to Beiping immediately tomorrow morning, to assist the eldest prince Gao Chi to listen to the reality of Tatar, and make all preparations for the emperor's army to press the border in the future. β
When Ji Gang said this, he couldn't help pausing for a moment, as if he hesitated, and said unwillingly: "Actually, the emperor ordered me to go to Beiping, and there is another meaning in it. I believe that Hou Ye should still remember the incident of Dongchang mentioned to you a few days ago, and now there is nine percent certainty that it is true, otherwise the emperor will never be so anxious to leave me in Nanjing, eldest brother, I only came to visit in the middle of the night, let Hou Ye help settle the family, this kind of practice is really helpless! β
Tang Ming suddenly realized that Ji Gang was obviously hitting the muzzle of the gun, the emperor was going to support Dongchang to get up, and if he wanted to break Ji Gang, he had to break his head to find a reason. It's good now, Ji Gang takes his head on top of it, and he really can't blame others. However, his family also followed, and Tang Ming had to arrange this first.
The old housekeeper, who had not yet gone back to rest, woke up his subordinates to make arrangements. Ji Gang's family and his subordinates are combined, and there are more than 300 people. Fortunately, Zheng He's family in Nanjing is big enough, and because he is a eunuch, he has no family members or anything, and there is enough space, otherwise it will be really difficult to arrange for a while.
Under the order of the old housekeeper, the Zheng Mansion gradually became lively, and the subordinates woke up from their sleep, and the torches and lanterns began to busily arrange for Ji Gang's family to stay in the Zheng Mansion.
The arrival of more than 300 people suddenly made the Zheng Mansion very popular, but fortunately, Ji Gang took into account the factor of too many people and did not let people bring too many household goods. Only allowed to bring some valuables, just like that, it was still full of more than a dozen ox carts, and in the middle of the night, three more big movements, naturally attracted the attention of the soldiers patrolling the city, fortunately, this is the Zheng Mansion, and the soldiers patrolling the city didn't seem to be surprised, and they didn't even come up for interrogation.
At most, when they passed by, they just took a few more looks, and there were subordinates from Zheng He's mansion, who seemed to be very familiar with the soldiers patrolling the city, and they passed by with a hello.
In fact, this can't be blamed on the soldiers patrolling the city for not being vigilant, but Zheng He, as the ruler of the treasure shipyard, often transports things in the middle of the night, which is already a well-known thing in the city. The soldiers patrolling the city saw that the subordinates in Zheng He's mansion were moving things, and they were not surprised.
Ji Gang took his wife and children, and after meeting Tang Ming, he was polite, and after thanking him repeatedly, he left with a few cronies. As soon as the morning dawned, he had to leave for Beiping, and tonight, in order to place his family here in Tang Ming, he couldn't take care of going to the Jinyi Wei Yamen to do business.
Now that everything is arranged here, I can't stay any longer, so I hurriedly say goodbye. After sending Ji Gang away and arranging for his family to stay, Tang Ming looked up and found that the sky was already dark. Ji Gang entrusted his family to himself, and Tang Ming certainly understood that he had absolute trust in himself.
From this moment on, he himself can be regarded as really sitting in the same boat as Jinyiwei, although Zhu Di intends to suppress Jinyiwei, but after all, this powerful department has already taken root and blossomed everywhere in the royal land of the Ming Dynasty.
I believe that when Li Xing learns about his relationship with Ji Gang, he will definitely have some scruples about himself, so that if he runs into him in the future, he will have no scruples about doing things.
"Hah......." With a big yawn, Tang Ming began to be sleepy, and when he returned to the room and fell asleep, he was so tired and exhausted that he had already left all his troubles behind, and he slept the most, and Tang Ming would never be bitter about what he didn't have to think about.
Tang Ming fell asleep, but Nanjing City began a busy day, especially in the Taiji Palace, where the civil and military ministers of the early dynasty were already in the list. Zhu Di sat on the dragon chair and seemed to be asleep, and the military ministers in the court were divided into two factions, fighting for the Tatars to invade our Ming territory.
The military attachΓ©, mainly Zhang Yu, advocated sending troops immediately to suppress the Tartars with the momentum of a large army. However, civilian officials advocated that it was not appropriate to send troops for the time being, and that peace had just been restored in the country, and it would take some time to recuperate, so it should vigorously develop and strive to restore national strength. It is not too late to send troops to Tatar when the army is strong.
The two sides insisted on their own opinions, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was reasonable, and the public said that the public was reasonable, and after an hour, the voice of the argument never stopped.
In the entire Taiji Palace, there are only Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao, plus a number of eunuchs of all sizes. Zhu Di actually already had a resolution in his heart, and speaking out at this moment for the ministers to discuss, it was just a superficial effort. Of course, the ministers also understand this truth, which is why they are so reckless in arguing in the court.
