PS. Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the "starting point" 515 fan festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote will also give the starting point coin, kneel and beg everyone to support and appreciate!

Tianjin has reached the fourth year of opening the sea, last year, the city wall was completed, the straight road leading to the capital was also repaired, Tianjin's household registration suddenly exceeded 300,000, merchants gathered, gold everywhere, the first port in the north, deservedly. Tang Ruji, the prefect, is comfortable, although he was pitted by Tang Yi very miserably a few years ago, he has made up for it all in the past few years, and he still has to make money.

The furnishings of the living room alone are eye-catching.

The furniture of the small leaf red sandalwood, the teapot and the bowl are all from the official kiln of the former dynasty, and there are celebrity calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, and any one of them is priceless.

Tang Yi put his hands behind his back, kept nodding, and made a sound of praise, Tang Ruji followed behind, his face was like eating bitter melon, he couldn't hold back, and almost pleaded: "Brother Xing, I really didn't do it, the big guy thought of your benefits, just gave out some silver, built a temple, and commemorated it, it's not out of the ordinary, and it's not without precedent, I don't think it's a big deal." ”

Tang Yi shook his head and said meaningfully: "Little Fisherman, if we exchange our identity, what should you think?" ”

In a word, Tang Ruji fell into silence.

To be honest, Tang Yi is too young and too sharp, and there are as many people who support him as there are those who hate him. Every move is watched by someone with a magnifying glass, and the slightest carelessness will attract overwhelming criticism.

Thinking of this, Tang Ruji's forehead also sweated.

"Brother Xing, it's all my fault for being confused for a while, don't worry, the ancestral hall has already arranged for someone to dismantle it, and tomorrow I guarantee that there will be nothing."

Tang Yi sat down. Tang Ruji was still standing there, wiping his sweat, Tang Yi waved his hand to let him sit down, the two of them need to have a good talk, after being away from Beijing for so long, although Tang Yi has been staring at the movement of the capital. But after all, it's an itch in the boots, and my knowledge is limited. Tang Ruji, this guy is a well-known jack-of-all-trades, and all parties are good, there is nothing I don't know,

Seeing that Tang Yi was interested, Tang Ruji seemed to be flattering, gushing endlessly, and said everything.

First of all, Emperor Jiajing, as a few years ago. Or ******** monastic, moody, and taking pleasure in playing with ministers. Especially in the past few years, Tianjin and the southeast have opened the sea, and a lot of silver has been transported to the capital, and most of it has been squandered by the palace. Building a palace view, spending millions of taels every year, Yuxi Palace, Wanshou Palace, Shengshou Palace, make it brilliant. The whole thing was piled up with gold.

He also sent a lot of eunuchs to purchase strange things everywhere. What Ganoderma lucidum, Dongzhu, ginseng, mutton fat jade...... Everything is worth a lot of money.

In addition, Jiajing also recruited Taoist priests from all over the world, seeking Taoist secrets, and the West Garden was full of cigarettes all day long, without a moment's pause.

Tang Ruji said as he observed his words. Seeing that Tang Yi was slightly angry, he said in a low voice: "Brother Xing, are you very angry?" ”

"What am I angry about?" Tang Yi suddenly smiled and said: "When you run errands, you just need to complete the orders from above, as for how to spend the silver." That's His Majesty's business. ”

"That's right!" Tang Ruji slapped his thigh, "Brother Xingzhi thinks so, I'm relieved, we can't do foolish things." ”

"Yes, thank you Brother Xiaoyu for reminding me."

said it, but the fists were clenched, and the hard work was not for your enjoyment, but to let the people of the world suffer less exploitation, so that the finances could be more generous, and a little more silver could be used in the right place. At the moment, it seems that there is some extravagance.

It's nonsense to say that you are not angry, and whoever sees their hard work being wasted will not feel good.

But he couldn't turn his face with Jiajing, Tang Yi could only hide his anger deep in his heart.

After finishing talking in the palace, Yan and Xu mentioned the two parties again, and this time it was Tang Ruji's turn to be embarrassed.

"The six departments and nine qings that have remained unchanged for many years, since last year, there have been frequent changes, first of all, the Hubu Shangshu Fang is old, and when Zhishi goes home, it is normal for him to retire, but it is a good killing around the Hubu Shangshu."

The household department is in charge of money and grain, first, because of the abundant oil and water, and second, because the Yan Party has wantonly embezzled the household treasury over the years, and if it can control the household department, it will be able to find out the handle of the Yan Party.

To this end, Xu Jie's launch of Ma Kun, the secretary of the Southern Household Department, and Yan Dang did not show weakness, and launched Jia Yingchun, the secretary of the Criminal Department,-for-tat. When the two sides were fighting, it happened that the Zhenwu Battalion mutiny broke out, Ma Kun lost serious points and was defeated, the Yan Party got his wish, Jia Yingchun took the household department, but as soon as he left, the criminal department was empty again.

Xu Jie recommended Zheng Xiao to come out, and Yan Dang sent Min Xu, and after a battle in the open and dark, Yan Dang successfully saved the Criminal Department.

Although it seems that the Yan Party still has the advantage, after years of preparation, Xu Jie's battle with the Yan Party is enough to fight the three lilies, and the two sides come and go, and they do not let each other go. Don't look at the official dead knock, the mountain rain is about to come, the wind is full of buildings, sensitive as Tang Ruji, and I already feel a hint of chill.

"Brother Xing, outsiders say that Yan Ge Lao is still immortal and strong, which is true. But Xu Ge is always barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, even if he grabs it, even if it is cheap, if he can't grab it, there is no loss, but Yan Ge Lao, if he is not careful, he will fall on the road and suffer a big loss. ”

Tang Yi is very admirable, Tang Ruji's vision is good, in this Yan Xu war, Xu Ge Lao belongs to the attacking side, his henchmen are generally young, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach. Metabolism is natural. On the other hand, the Yan Party is all old and unbearable, no matter how experienced and strong they are, they can't fight God.

It's just that any victory is cruel, especially the seizure of power, and it is absolutely impossible to do it without paying the price.

"Brother Xingzhi, I won't hide it from you, people say that I am a strict party, and I became the champion by going through the back door, I fell into the Yellow River, and I can't wash it clearly. I often couldn't sleep night after night, for fear that someone would suddenly come and take me away. ”

Tang Yi waved his hand, "Brother Xiaoyu is serious, Yan Ge Lao has been in charge of the cabinet for twenty years, there are many party henchmen, and his minions are sharp, Xu Ge Lao wants to win, it is not so easy." Besides, didn't I let you walk around Yuwang's door? The future prince has a good beard, what else do you have to be afraid of. ”

"Oops! My brother! ”

It's okay not to mention it, Tang Ruji almost cried when he mentioned it, as one of the lecturers of King Yu over the years, Tang Ruji has sent benefits to King Yu, including Gao Gong and Chen Yiqin. All work hard to please. People's hearts are soft, not to mention a brother in the trenches, and gradually the big guy's impression of Tang Ruji has improved a lot.

Tang Ruji also secretly cheered, but who knew that in the past two years, Yuwang's momentum has not only not risen, but has become more and more dangerous. Jiajing believes in the proverb that the two dragons do not meet. I didn't see two sons, and I didn't canonize the crown prince. King Yu and King Jing had no chance to perform, so there was only one way left, and that was to have a son.

If you observe the history of various dynasties, you will find an interesting imagination, the first few monarchs are all able to give birth, there are more than a dozen, dozens of children, not only many people. also fought and killed each other, and staged a big drama of seizing the heirs.

In the later period, the country declined, and even the princes with children were few, and there was even no successor. Therefore, being able to give birth to a son has become the most advantageous weapon for inheriting the throne.

King Yu did his best and gave birth to two sons, but they both died. On the other hand, King Jing's concubine was pregnant. I heard that the birth is imminent, if a son is born, the strength and weakness are reversed, and King Jing will become the crown prince.

The gang of people who followed Yuwang may hold the wrong thigh.

Tang Ruji, this guy has the sensitivity of an almost beast, and he feels that the future is bleak. Desperate to hug a new thigh.

"Brother Xiaoyu, in my opinion, the crown prince is the capital of the country, and His Majesty will not decide easily, so don't worry. Even if one day, with me, you can rest assured! ”

"Brother Xing, I'll wait for your words!"

Tang Ruji was excited to kneel on the ground, and Tang Yi hurriedly helped him.

"Little Brother Yu, between you and me, there is no need to be so polite."

"That's that!" Tang Ruji suddenly gritted his teeth and raised his fist, "I, Tang Ruji, swear to the sky, from now on, I will resolutely obey the orders of my brother and go to the soup to fight the fire. ”

"Okay, okay, God is busy, I don't have time to hack you!" Tang Yi doesn't believe in any bullshit oath, Tang Ruji will fall to himself, it is nothing more than two things, one is strength, and the other is profit!

As the favored minister of the Son of Heaven and the upstart of the imperial court, Tang Yi has the ability to protect Tang Ruji, and Tang Ruji also holds a lot of dry shares of Tianjin firms, and the interests of the two people are connected, and they share honor and disgrace.

After piercing the window paper, Tang Ruji became more active, full of dog-headed military advisors.

They carefully analyzed the court situation, Yan Dang and Xu Dang, King Yu and King Jing, all reached the critical moment of contention, the small court, the four sides of the fight, just thinking about it, it makes people's scalp numb, a little careless, and being involved in it, it is a catastrophe.

How to be comfortable in a complex situation is really a test of people's skills, and the difficulty is no less than dancing on the tip of a knife.

After talking for most of the night, Tang Yi gradually had a final opinion, said goodbye and returned to the bedroom.

"Where's peace?"

"I've been asleep for a long time." Wang Yueying said proudly: "My son spoke today. ”

"Shenma?" Tang Yi jumped up in shock, "The stinky boy will call his father?" It's worthy of being my son, just smart! ”

Wang Yueying glanced at him, "How can it be so fast, it's just a scream." ”

"Hehe, a good start is half the battle, it won't be long before someone will be called, I have to prepare a gift for my son and reward him well!"

Tang Yi said that he was about to run outside, but was stopped by Wang Yueying.

"In the middle of the night, what kind of hysteria, hurry up and rest, I have to leave for Beijing tomorrow!"

Tang Yi had no choice but to go back to bed, turn the sky, the sun was three poles, Tang Yi took his wife and children, said goodbye to Tang Ruji, and came to the capital.

didn't go far, Tang Yi took out a golden and yellow long-life lock from his arms, and shook it proudly in front of his son.

"you, what do you guess it's made of?"

"Gold! Is it the copper plating of iron? Wang Yueying didn't have a good air.

"The gold is true, but this gold is a little different, it was scraped off the idol." Tang Yi put the longevity lock on his son's neck, and said with a smile: "Ping'an, your father is a good official, the people have built a shrine for me, are you proud to have such an excellent father?" ”

Wang Yueying was speechless, she was obviously overjoyed, and she pretended to hate it, and immediately dismantled it, she only had two words for her husband: hypocrisy!
