Chapter Twenty-Nine: Let the King help you with your ideas
Chapter 29: Let the king help you with your ideas
To persuade Yuan Chonghuan to help him, Zhu Youxiang was actually not very sure, but he had already sorted it out a little, as long as Yuan Chonghuan did not take himself down in the first time after listening to his advice, it was a door.
So, Zhu Youxiang followed and struck while the iron was hot and said: "Inspector Yuan, the current imperial court, under the auspices of Yue Su and Zhang Yan, is muddy, the officials are more treacherous, and even dare to openly form a party. The superintendent and others sinned Yue Su, but it was only because of the chaos and instability of internal affairs that they did not immediately attack. But if you wait until the situation is stable, there will never be a place for the superintendent to stand at that time, and the destruction is only in the morning. Therefore, Xiao Wang hopes that the supervisor can recognize the general trend of the world, plan for the society, and plan for himself, and he must come up with a decision. If the overseer decides to send troops, then on the day of King Xin's accession to the throne, he will definitely give him a reward, and he will not lose his position as a prince. ”
"Lord, you said that Banzai today is not the first emperor's own flesh and blood, but it is just hearsay, what is the real evidence, you said that the first emperor intended to pass on the throne to King Xin, what evidence is there. Xiaguan was ordered by the emperor to supervise Jiliao here, how could he leave his post without permission, what the prince said today, the lower officials should not have heard of it, and the prince should please leave. Yuan Chonghuan made a decision, the current situation, or not to rebel, his own food and salary are all supplied by Beijing, his generals are all soldiers of the imperial court, if he rebels, can he get the support of the people below, it is really two words, and the army moves, it is bound to be heard by the capital, Beijing has Yue Su in charge, and there are not a few soldiers and horses, even if his Guanning iron cavalry is very strong, but if he wants to capture Beijing, it is also a fantasy. If it drags on for a few days, the surrounding Qinwang soldiers and horses will come, and if they have no logistics supplies, they will definitely fail. If you are not sure, don't do it well. But he didn't mean to take King Fu down, he just persuaded King Fu to leave, because there was a relationship here, and if King Fu was taken and sent to Beijing, he would not want to. After all, King Fu and King Xin can be regarded as the princes of the nearest branch of the court, if the current emperor dies and there is no son below, King Xin is the first heir, and King Fu is the second heir, so that the two princes of the nearest branch die in their own hands, this reputation is really not good.
"Since Inspector Yuan has scruples, it is better to think about it for a few more days, if the Inspector is willing to agree, the military salary is not a problem, Xiao Wang still has millions of family wealth, which can help the Inspector to rejuvenate the army. The capital is just around the corner, and if the superintendent is lightning fast, it is not difficult to sweep the Beijing division. I think the Overseer should be aware of this. Of course, the superintendent is the leading wizard in the world, and how to do it should have some calculations in his heart. Okay, Xiao Wang will say goodbye first, and will also visit the inn, if the superintendent is willing, he can send someone to the inn to find me at any time. If the superintendent wants to capture Xiao Wang and make meritorious contributions, he can do the same. After speaking, Zhu Youxiang stood up and took the big seal of the prince back into his arms.
"Where did the prince say, how dare the lower officials. also asked the lower officials to send the prince back. Yuan Chonghuan quickly stood up.
"There is no need to send the superintendent far away, so as not to make the people in the house suspicious, Xiao Wang will leave here, just wait for the good news of the superintendent." After that, Zhu Youxiang walked towards the outside of the study, and Yuan Chonghuan sent it to the door, and said a few polite words before asking Yuan Le to send Zhu Youxiang out of the house.
Sending Zhu Youxiang away, Yuan Chonghuan was inevitably apprehensive in his heart, he didn't want to bear the infamy of assisting Yue Su to kill the Zhu clan's relatives, because now, Yue Su and Zhang Yan's affairs are boiling, if he does this, King Fu and King Xin will die, and he will be the executioner. But if he didn't care, he was also worried that King Fu would go to find other generals of the unified army, and then he would either really rebel or be taken to Beijing. The rebellion will undoubtedly fail, and at that time, in the first trial, if you ask yourself to know about it, but you didn't tell the court, this crime of not knowing will also cost you your life.
It's hard, it's hard!
Because it was difficult to choose, the only thing Yuan Chonghuan did was to restrict King Fu's freedom, and he was really worried that King Fu would run around and implicate himself in the future. Since you are a single person and are willing to stay at the Shanguan Inn, that is the best. Yuan Chonghuan ordered Yuan Le to take dozens of henchmen to the Shanguan Inn to monitor, no matter what, before he decided, he must not let King Fu get out of his control.
This morning, Zhu Youzhen received a letter, he was very calm on the surface, but when he entered the back study, he hurriedly tore the letter open and looked at it nervously.
The subject had met the man, the content of the conversation was unaware, but had now returned to the inn unharmed. The villain also discovered that someone was secretly staring at the target, and it was possible that the person sent it. ”
There are only two short sentences on the letter, which are written in a relatively vague way, and people who don't know the truth can't see the clues even if they get this letter.
Of course, Zhu Youzhen understood the meaning of the letter, and after reading it, he quickly burned it, and then secretly pondered it. "It seems that Yuan Chonghuan is indeed not Yue Su's person, otherwise, Zhu Youxiang would have been taken down long ago. However, his approach was obviously difficult to make a decision for a while, and he did not want to help, nor did he want to be the executioner who killed the vassal king. ”
"There is no such good thing in the world, and now that we know it, we should make a choice, otherwise, we will die in hesitation." A smile appeared on Zhu Youzhen's face. He said coldly in his heart: "Yuan Chonghuan, Yuan Chonghuan, you can't make up your mind, so it's better to let this king help you get this idea." ”
Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen stood up and walked to the bookcase not far away, he gently moved a vase next to the bookcase, and then heard a "click", and the bookcase automatically flashed to the side, revealing the wall behind it. He took a step forward and tapped lightly on the wall twice, and then, there was a soft "pop", and the wall below took the initiative to push out a piece and move to the right, revealing a hole one meter square, the hole was shining with gold, and it was full of gold.
As a vassal king, Zhu Youzhen certainly has some family wealth, especially in the past year, the sun has opened the sea, as the vassal king of Dengzhou, he does not take this opportunity to get the moon first near the water, which is really a little unreasonable. A lot of this gold was earned by him trading with the Wa Kingdom. There is more gold and less silver in the country, so over there, one tael of gold can be exchanged for four taels of silver, and such a difference, if you don't use it, it is too wasteful.
Therefore, in just one year, Zhu Youzhen made a lot of gold in the Wa Kingdom.
Zhu You looked at the gold, nodded slightly, and then shouted loudly: "Come on, call Sun Zhong for me!" ”
Sun Zhong, a native of Dengzhou, is very filial and has some courage, but his family is poor. At the beginning, Zhu Youzhen had just arrived in Dengzhou, and he heard that there was a filial son, because he had no money to treat his mother, so he robbed the pharmacy, injured the pharmacy shopkeeper, and suffered a lawsuit. Zhu Youzhen felt it, so he tried to save him and spent money to treat his mother. But my grandmother was already terminally ill, and the medicine stone was ineffective, and finally died. Sun Zhong felt Zhu Youzhen's great kindness, and was willing to throw himself into the house, as a slave and a servant, and Zhu Youzhen felt his filial piety, so he took it away. For he knows that whoever is filial will be loyal.
Over the years, Zhu Youzhen has cultivated Sun Zhong, and many things have been done by Sun Zhong, and Sun Zhong has also done his best, and has never lived up to Zhu Youzhen's entrustment. Zhu Youzhen was in charge of maritime trade, and Sun Zhong was mainly in charge, and all affairs were handed over to him. A few days ago, Sun Zhong just came back from going to sea, stayed in the house for a few days, and then went out again.
Hearing that the prince called him, he hurriedly hurried to the back study to meet him, and after saluting, he saw Zhu Youzhen beckoning to him and talking closer. Sun Zhong walked to Zhu Youzhen's side and bowed to stand, he rarely speaks, and he doesn't say anything.
"Sun Zhong, I have something here that I want you to do, I don't know if you dare." Zhu Youzhen said in a low voice.
"What's the matter, although the prince commands, the villain will not give up when he goes to the soup and fights the fire, and there is nothing he dare not do." Sun Zhong said firmly.
"Okay." Zhu Youzhen nodded with satisfaction and said, "You take all the gold here, exchange it for silver dollars, and then ......."
Zhu Youzhen's voice became lower and lower, and the two of them could hear it. When he finished speaking, Sun Zhong only bowed down and said: "The villain understands, please rest assured, in this matter, the villain will definitely go all out, and he would rather die than fulfill the prince's trust." ”
"Don't die, it's unlucky...... Zhu Youzhen patted Sun Zhong on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "You are the person I trust the most, except for sending you to do this, I really can't think of a second candidate." This is very dangerous, so you have to remember to be careful not to lose your life. Even if I can't do it, I'm going to come back alive......"
"Yes, Lord ......"
Zhu Youzhen nodded, tears flowed from his eyes, "For the sake of the righteousness of the world, the ancestors of the country, I am also helpless...... Sun Zhong, the country of the Ming Dynasty is entrusted to you......"
Seeing Zhu Youzhen crying, Sun Zhong was even more moved, and then knelt on the ground and said: "Please rest assured, the villain will complete his mission and live up to the prince's trust." ”
The next day, Sun Zhong exchanged the gold for silver dollars, hastily handled some goods, and went to Rizhao to go to sea. Because the imperial court has a limited number of naval ships, it is impossible for you to go to sea and be protected by warships, so at this time, if it is not a large-scale merchant ship going to sea, there are only a few sporadic ships, you are willing to go, you can also, pay customs duties, and it will be fine.
The king's business, ships can not be missing, a total of five ships, Sun Zhong asked people to carry the goods on the ship, and then went to sea by himself. They mainly traded with the Japanese state, so the sea journey was not far, and the risks along the way were not very large.
On this day, Sun Zhong came to Chiba in the Wa Kingdom. At this moment, the Wa Kingdom has been renamed the State of Japan, and the ruling power is the Tokugawa Shogunate, as early as after the death of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Tokugawa Ieyasu took his place, and called the Ming Dynasty a vassal, and was named the king of Japan by the Ming Dynasty. Although the Tokugawa shogunate has been closed off from the country, many things need to be imported, so Date Masamune has to secretly do some smuggling business.
Date Masamune has been doing business with Sun Zhong for a year, because Sun Zhong is more real than ordinary profiteers, and the price is relatively low, so the relationship with Date Masamune is not bad. As soon as Sun Zhong landed, he went directly to Date Masamune's house, Date Masamune was very happy to hear that he was coming, and he ordered a batch of goods from him last time, but he didn't expect it to be shipped so soon. wW
