“…… This 1.5 million taels of silver, 500,000 yuan will be given to your sister as your head money, and 1 million taels will be given to your brother-in-law! Brother-in-law, don't be too little, there are ...... every year" Concubine De Niangniang read this, and suddenly let out a scream, her delicate eyes were full of excitement, at this time, she saw some girlish postures, and even jumped up, Wanli hurriedly hugged her, "Ruotong, be careful of the child in the womb, I also pointed to you to give birth to a prince, and I will let Mr. Shen teach him to read......"

When Sun Yinglong heard this, he quickly lowered his head, his back was full of cold sweat, he couldn't help but be nervous, Shen Shixing, as Wanli's teacher, according to the practice of the Ming Dynasty, the meaning of Wanli's words is clearly to abolish the elder and young, and the child in the belly of Concubine Lide is the prince, of course, it is not clear whether it is a man or a woman now, but this meaning has clearly come out.

"Sun Yinglong, where's the silver!" Concubine De's face was flushed, as the emperor's favorite woman, she was not as rich as the people imagined, especially Wanli's pro-government is not too old, there are many places to spend silver, and now at least half of the Chinese military officials in the dynasty were promoted by Zhang Juzheng, and you Wanli Emperor wants to use Zhang Juzheng's little brother promoted by Boss Zhang, and you must always give benefits to the younger brother below! Otherwise, compared with others, I am mixed with Boss Zhang, I don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and there are women, but now I have changed the court and mixed up with your emperor boss, and your treatment is not as good as Boss Zhang...... Immediately it will be detached from morality.

Therefore, once a son of heaven and a courtier, this is not all unreasonable, Wanli also wants to cultivate talents by himself, the key is that he is too young, although he has a lot of time to squander because he is young, but also because of his youth, many old oilmen in the officialdom do not buy the emperor.

No matter which dynasty or generation, even after five hundred years, after the handover of power, the most important thing is four words, a smooth transition, therefore, even if Wanli no longer likes Zhang Siwei, Zhang Siwei's cabinet chief assistant should also be steady, if Wanli sits in the position of the emperor for ten or eight years, then, as long as he has a look, there will be countless officials who attack the emperor who is not satisfied.

Although this year is the eleventh year of Wanli, people with a discerning eye know very well that ten years ago in Wanli, the real emperor was actually Zhang Taiyue, not Zhu Yijun.

"The minions' men are waiting outside! The silver was also carried with him, and the slave received the handbook from the uncle of the country, and after taking the silver in the hands of Xiao Douzi's father-in-law, he stared at the silver all the time at twelve o'clock...... "Sun Yinglong took advantage of the words, stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, and on the surface said that he was escorting one and a half million taels of silver for the first time, so he was nervous, in fact, including the eunuchs around him, everyone knew what the real reason for his nervousness was.

"Zhang Ban, go and move the silver to the Qianqing Palace." Wanli hugged Concubine De's fragrant shoulder and said to Zhang Cheng, Zhang Cheng nodded yes, and glanced at Sun Yinglong, "Come with us." ”

When he arrived outside the door, Sun Yinglong felt that the clothes behind him were all wet with cold sweat, Zhang Chengte looked at him, and said in a low voice: "Even if you have eyes, it seems that you are serving well by the side of Uncle Guo, remember, you haven't heard anything today, you haven't seen anything......"

"Thank you, the chief manager, for the suggestion." Sun Yinglong smiled on his face, and stuffed a string of jade Buddha bead bracelets into his hand, Zhang Cheng pinched it in his hand, looked down, and was stunned for a moment, he received the gift that was clear, this string of jade Buddha beads was worth at least five thousand taels of silver, and he couldn't help but look at Sun Yinglong, "Are you very useful in front of Uncle Guo?" The net worth is not small! ”

"This is all ordered by Uncle Guo, otherwise, where would the lower officials have the guts." Sun Yinglong smiled bitterly, Zhang Cheng nodded, "Tell our family about Uncle Guo's affairs, and our family can also tell my mother and the emperor." ”

Sun Yinglong hurriedly followed Zhang Cheng's side, and there were many eunuchs behind him, waiting for one to carry the boxes containing silver back and forth to the Qianqing Palace, dozens of boxes were opened together, and the white flowers in them were dazzling, Concubine De screamed, and hugged Wanli with her backhand, "Get rich, now you have money." ”

Wanli was also very excited in his heart, as an emperor who was educated by civil officials, Wanli was actually very hard, he was asked to be a man with a perfect personality since he was a child, to put it mildly, he had never seen so much silver put together in his life, but his temperament for many years still calmed him down, "Concubine Ai, isn't it just one million and a half million taels of silver, I am rich in the world......"

"Come on!" Concubine De glanced at him, went over happily, and looked at the boxes one by one, "If it weren't for the silver earned by the good officials, you, the emperor, would be a big poor ghost, and people would have given a hairpin, and the silver bureau (one of the twenty-four eunuchs, in charge of gold and silverware in the palace) was quoted at two thousand taels, and I really didn't know if I grew up in the deep palace!" The hairpin was placed outside the palace, and it was up to the sky, twenty taels of silver. ”

These words are very heavy, Wanli's face was scornful, Zhang Cheng quickly knelt down, now the eunuch of the silver bureau palm seal is his godson, he naturally wants to ask for guilt, Concubine De waved her hand, "Okay, okay, I didn't mean to say you, but the first egg imperial dining room in the palace also has to quote one or two silver, really take the emperor for a fool!" ”

Zhang Cheng was like Sun Yinglong just now at this time, in a cold sweat. Sun Yinglong, who was not far away, didn't even dare to say a word, he really admired the methods of this concubine, and with a word, he beat a big eunuch like Gonggong Zhang, no wonder Uncle Guo is so capable, he is really a sister and brother of a mother's compatriots!

The emperor does not need money to eat and drink, such as the emperor's three meals a day, and the imperial dining room also has to make accounts, like an egg or two silver such a ridiculous thing, in fact, it is already a practice in the palace, there are so many eunuchs in the palace, everyone has to raise, all this money, all have to be grafted onto the emperor, plus the eunuchs want to make money, over time, the egg will naturally become more and more expensive.

Zhang Cheng wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, "Shengming has no mothers like this, and he knows the sufferings of the people, but there are many people in the palace, and the expenses are large, and the slaves and maids can't ......."

Concubine De snorted, "Zhang Banban, you are saving, don't be angry when I say a word, you!" For the emperor, it's almost a finger to buckle the asshole, but open source and throttle, throttling is never as good as open source, don't worry about saving a little here all day long, where to save a little, last winter was so cold, even a jacket is old, I don't know, I think the emperor abuses you! ”

These words seem to be scolding Zhang Cheng, but in fact, they are praising him! is the so-called slap and rubbing, Concubine De used it, and Zhang Cheng was immediately moved to tears, "Slave maid...... The slave ...... "But she couldn't even speak."

"Zhang Ban, get up!" Wanli personally helped the old eunuch up, this old eunuch has been by his side since he was a child, he can be described as loyal, and naturally he wants to give something decent, next to Concubine De saw half of the letter, and now for so long, she is almost happy, and immediately stretched out her fingers and rubbed her cheeks, thought for a while, and said: "Zhang Ban, send 100,000 taels of silver to the Empress Dowager Rensheng in a while, and the Empress Dowager Cisheng will also send 100,000 taels ......"

After a while, Concubine De dotted the palace up and down, and immediately spent more than 300,000 yuan, naturally, these money is bound to be spent, such as the two queen mothers, the Empress Dowager Rensheng personally lifted her, which can be described as gracious, and the Empress Dowager Cisheng is the emperor's mother, which can not be missed, from this point of view, it is true that Concubine De will be a man, however, sometimes the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not that you will be a good person, the Empress Dowager Cisheng took the 100,000 taels of silver, she may not appreciate it, and she may have to complain that Concubine De is showing off.

At the end, Concubine De said, "Those who are on an errand in the Qianqing Palace today will also be rewarded with twenty taels per person, Zhang Ban, you will reward this silver later." As soon as she said this, no matter how far or near she was, all the eunuchs around knelt down to thank her.

Don't look at the twenty taels per person, this is also a lot of silver, Zhang Cheng subconsciously felt distressed, but after looking at the emperor with a happy face, his lips moved slightly, and he didn't speak, and said that the emperor should also gather the minions below, he used to be tight, and this time he will have money, so let the emperor be happy!

Don't underestimate these eunuchs and palace maids, Jiajing Emperor Yanjing was almost strangled to death by a group of palace maids, which shows that buying people's hearts is an indispensable lesson for those in power.

Rewarded a bunch, Concubine De just missed Zhang Cheng, Wanli thought that Concubine Ai had forgotten, and was about to speak, Concubine De glanced at him, and said to Zhang Cheng at this time: "Zhang Companion, I won't reward you with silver, you have some money, and you have to worry about doing good deeds, the emperor has a peacock feather robe, or Zhang Taiyue Zhang Ge gave it back then, now the emperor's body has grown, a little smaller, you are wearing it appropriately......"

Wanli then remembered that the robe was given by Zhang Juzheng, but now he refuses to wear it, but he doesn't want Concubine Ai to give the robe to Zhang Companion, as for Zhang Cheng, he was stunned at first, and then, the old tears were rampant, kneeling down and kowtowing to Concubine De, but he couldn't say a word, not far away Sun Yinglong looked at it, couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and there was a layer of white sweat behind him, at this time, he secretly reminded himself that he must do a good job for Uncle Guo, just as a dog in front of Uncle Guo, don't have any other thoughts...... Concubine De finished using a whole set of political tricks, and then went to read the letter again, and after reading a few lines, she chuckled again, "Your Majesty, come and see, your brother-in-law asked you to ask for an official!" Wanli hurriedly rushed to Concubine De's side, poked his head out, and didn't think so at the moment, "Don't you just want the title of a dozen Lady Commanders, give him it, in other words, the good official earned me so much silver, don't say that, give the prince a duke title, that's enough." ”

Concubine De shook her head slightly, "I don't want this, otherwise those courtiers in the court will have to trouble the emperor again." ”

When Wanli heard this, he immediately remembered those hateful guys, his face was inevitably a little unsightly, he clenched his fists tightly, and said, "Sooner or later, they want to look good, hum!" Zhang Ban, bring me another bowl of ginseng tea. ”

Zhang Cheng hurriedly wiped the tears on his face, got up and turned away, and came back without a moment, feeling a little regretful in his heart, the emperor's body and bones have never been very good, but he wants to find a really good famous doctor to recuperate, and these imperial doctors in the palace prescribe medicine either tiger and wolf medicine, or the medicine is mild, and it has no effect after eating it for half a year.

At this time, Concubine De read the first letter, opened the second one, looked at it a few times, and couldn't help but snort, "Sun Yinglong, did the good official ask you to bring this letter?" Sun Yinglong chuckled in his heart, and quickly knelt on the ground, "Yes...... It's ......" but even his teeth fought up and down, and even his face turned white.

"It was the Wenren clan who asked you to bring it!" Concubine De snorted, "Do you think she is full of wits and can speak in front of Uncle Guo, just like ...... The main palace is in front of the emperor, isn't it? ”

Sun Yinglong knocked his forehead on the ground with a bang, and said again and again: "The slave should die, the slave should die......" But he didn't even dare to distinguish it, Concubine De saw him kowtow more than a dozen times, and then snorted twice, "This Wenren's clan, I really thought that the teacher who stumped the obedient official with a word would be qualified to talk to the palace, if she was favored by the obedient official in the future, and gave birth to a son and a half daughter to the Zheng family, I might give her some face, but now I dare to take the idea for the obedient official without authorization, and write a letter to the palace to suggest that the daughter of Wang Xijue Wangge's hometown be the wife, Do you really think that this palace doesn't know her mind! ”

His forehead was covered with sweat, but Sun Yinglong didn't even dare to reach out to wipe it.

After taking two steps back and forth, Concubine De asked Sun Yinglong, "Is the daughter of Wangge's hometown quite knowledgeable?" You tell me more about it. Sun Yinglong didn't dare to hide anything at this time, he honestly told Wang Rongrong's situation, Concubine De smiled, but she guessed Wen Ren's mind thoroughly, didn't she think that Wang Rongrong was young, young means that she is so confused, and she knows the general situation, these three words are still easy to fool to put it bluntly, plus there are more Fusang princesses in the good official room, so Wang Rongrong, as the daughter of the old family of the pavilion, if she really becomes the wife of a good official, she will inevitably win over Wen Ren's family, a serious Ming man and a lady...... Wanli next to him leaned over to take a look, touched his chin and said, "Concubine Ai, this daughter of Wang Xijue's family is also worthy of being a good official!" Why don't you simply agree, presumably the queen Xijue will also move closer to me because of this. ”

Concubine De stretched out her slender jade finger and pointed a little on his forehead, "You! I said what are you good for, where in this world is there stability that depends on harmony, the Han and Tang dynasties, there are still few relatives, shouldn't the war be the same as the war, do you think that Wang Xijue will honestly listen to you if he marries his daughter to a good official? These old bastards have been up and down in the sea for decades, and none of them are good, Your Majesty, you! Compared with others, I have eaten less salt for decades! ”

Wanli couldn't help but be a little unconvinced when Concubine Ai said this, "Didn't the good official also rely on marriage to integrate the entire Fusang!" Otherwise, he asked me what I wanted to do with so many titles of the Lady of the Commands! ”

Concubine De snorted, "Are people afraid of him because he marries his daughter?" No, people marry their daughters because they are afraid of him, don't look at the order backwards, this meaning is completely different, if he is not your Zhu Yijun's brother-in-law, if he doesn't have so many ironclad ships in his hands, others will swallow him with a belt...... Do you really think that Wenchen said that if he convinces people with virtue and makes two lines of poetry, he can let a state of tigers and wolves lead the people to surrender? You are really a good emperor taught by the courtiers. ”
