Chapter 239: State and Family Affairs

"Your Majesty carefully investigated, now the hundred officials in the court can have people outside the wings of Zhang Ge, in the inner court, Gonggong Feng and Zhang Ge Lao are each other's aid, and the Queen Mother admires it if His Majesty makes such a move, if the court and the outside are carried out of the country, except for Zhang Cheng and Zhang Gonggong, who else is on His Majesty's side, the situation is instantly critical, the minister is a hundred miles away, and the minister is still the same sentence as before, Your Majesty can afford to wait, and Zhang Ge Lao is loyal to the country, how is it a small section in private, why should Your Majesty care, but watch coldly, and look at it in a few years."

Wang Tong finished writing quickly in the house, inspected it from beginning to end, then put the envelope and dripped fire paint, put the envelope into the iron box, locked it and pasted the seal, and made preparations layer by layer, then he called Zhang Shiqiang, who was waiting outside the house, in, put the iron box into his pocket, carefully handed it to Zhang Shiqiang, and said:

"You called two Zhuang Ke, three horses each, and quickly rushed to Jingshi, this iron box will be handed over to Zou Yi by hand, you understand."

Zhang Shiqiang saw that Wang Tong said cautiously, and he also solemnly agreed, took the burden and hurriedly went out.

Wang Tongchang exhaled, his heart was also awe-inspiring, he thought that the emperor's family name was not ordinary, but he didn't expect Emperor Wanli to still be angry about such things, but fortunately, Emperor Wanli could know to write a letter to ask for his opinion, indicating that there was still a little bit of proportion in his heart, and his opinion allowed him to have a step down.

Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the cabinet, is now at the peak of his power, if Emperor Wanli really does such a move, although one is a monarch and the other is a minister, it is the Wanli Emperor who is not disgraced, to put it seriously, it is not impossible to be abolished in the name of Jiangshan Sheji, after all, among the descendants of Emperor Longqing, there is still a King Lu.

A few days ago, along with the letter from the little emperor, there was also a letter from Zhang Cheng, explaining in detail what had happened, Wang Tong naturally knew the key to the stakes, and hurriedly wrote a letter and sent someone to send it back.

This letter was sent, with the emperor's surname that he knew, he should not make any out-of-the-ordinary moves, in fact, according to Wang Tong's understanding, I am afraid that this letter has not yet arrived in Beijing, and Emperor Wanli himself has already figured it out.

Even so, when the letter was delivered, Wang Tong still felt a little relaxed, walked out of his mansion, raised his voice and said:

"The sea, get ready to dismount, let's go out of the city together."

Now Wang Tong is also in the house on this side of the drum tower, but the official office of Tianjin Jinyi Wei is not big, and it is left to Hang Daqiao and others to take care of it, and the hundreds of Jinyi guards go on business as usual every day, go out and ask about some news of the market, and then spread it here.

These messages are very useful, and putting people over there is just to raise a system, and it won't cost too much silver taels anyway.

Although the imperial court has a will, but the soldiers do not dare to really follow the old practice, the loss of two percent can not be deducted, the discount of rice and banknotes can not be beaten, just according to the best proportion of Wang Tong, for example, in addition to the two percent discount, there is no other loss, and the rice banknote is two rice eight banknotes.

In this way, it is equivalent to giving Wang Tong a full salary for seven months according to the establishment of thousands of people a year, and he can't help this Panda to do this, and he actually provoked the will of the Jingshi, but he didn't touch half a hair of Wang Tong, and he punished Yu Lu without pain.

In this way, even if you don't know what kind of foundation this Wang Tong has in the Jingshi, you also know that this young master can't afford to offend at all.

Sun Dahai and Ma Sanbiao are also surnames who like to move and not like to be quiet, and when they heard Wang Tong say that they were going out, they hurriedly went to Zhuangke to ask for horses and brought them over.

Wang Tong went out, as usual, he wanted to take Li Hutou, this kid has grown a lot, and he found a mount that is not so tall, but he can also ride a horse.

Li Hutou has always lived in Wang Tong's mansion, his identity is different from that of others, Sun Dahai and Zhang Shiqiang are subordinates on errands, Ma Sanbiao is similar to a child, and Li Hutou is treated by everyone as a young master, and he is thoughtful and proper, but Li Hutou has always been with a straight face, very unhappy.

"Brother Wang, Li Tao and Sun Xin are all leading people to train outside the city, and I am also from the martial arts hall, when it comes to technical attacks, the two of them may not be my opponents, let me go too!"

This is the reason why Li Hutou is unhappy, looking at those companion boys, a few of them are still far inferior to him, they are all leading the soldiers to train outside, but he can only stay in this house, he is really depressed.

Wang Tong stepped forward and rubbed the top of Li Hutou's head, and said with a smile:

"When you get taller, I'll let you go, now you look like this, you can't control people!"

Sun Dahai and Ma Sanbiao laughed together, but Li Hu's face fell, and he didn't insist anymore, he was already young, not tall, and completely looked like a child.

However, Li Hutou is indeed a child's surname, and several people rode out together, looking at the lively scene on the street, and forgetting those unhappiness and looking lively.

Wang Tong and Sun Dahai took a few steps forward and opened up the distance, Sun Dahai said in a low voice:

"The few people who died and ran away from the barracks were all checked according to the guarantee documents, and they were often the ones who were killed, and they all seemed to be fake."

The chaos in the new barracks, because everyone had a guarantee document, so after the fact, the names of the people were checked, and Wang Tong brought a few brocade guards from Beijing to track them down, and now Sun Dahai came to tell the results.

Wang Tong nodded and smiled, which was expected, but it gave him another idea, and said in a deep voice:

"Ming said that you led people to check all the guarantors of Xinding, maybe there are those who are still lurking in the camp, and this inventory will be found out."

Sun Dahai hurriedly agreed, chatted a few words, Sun Dahai slowed down the horse and fell behind, but Ma Sanbiao picked up the horse to follow, Wang Tong was not polite to him, and asked bluntly:

"What's the truth about you and the daughter of the Zhang family!"

Ma Sanbiao is almost ten years older than Wang Tong, but in front of Wang Tong, he has more and more the opposite meaning, and he asked about his recent thoughts, and immediately he was a man with a red face and a thick neck, and he was so rough as he was so rude, he was actually speechless, and it took him half a day to squeeze out a sentence:

"My mother agreed, and she said that she would send someone to tell the matchmaker"

Ma Pozi can see it, the only thing she is worried about is that she is afraid that there will be something wrong with the Zhang family, which will affect Wang Tong's reputation, so after agreeing to her son, she asked Tan Jiang and his people to check the Zhang Chunde family inside and out, and saw that it was indeed a good citizen, so he went to propose marriage.

The street was quite lively, Wang Tong beat his horse and walked slowly, while holding the reins, looking ahead and saying:

"Originally, I was relieved about the Zhang family, but I became your father-in-law, but I am going to send a bookkeeper to check the accounts, this is a business matter, don't think about it."

Originally, it was a business shop that had nothing to do with the family, and the rewards and punishments outside were calm, and after marrying Ma Sanbiao, there was this relationship, and it was necessary to take care of it, if this pure virtue could not see the identity of his own family, his hands and feet were not very neat, and the punishment was troublesome.

He can say this hello to Ma Sanbiao, which can be regarded as a face for the Ma family's mother and son, so as not to think that he can't believe it, but there is a misunderstanding.

However, Ma Sanbiao didn't think so much, and said with a big grin at this time:

"How do you arrange it and discuss it with me, what I mean is to sell the shop, take Zhang Chunde's family over, I keep it, what else do you do to do business, but my mother said, this shop is still useful, so let's stop!"

Wang Tong smiled and said lightly:

"You can think about it, but you still have to work this matter, go to Beijing in a few days, transfer a tent room in the teahouse or restaurant, and let Lu Tongju help you do it."

Speaking of this, Wang Tong turned his head and shouted to Li Hutou, who was looking around behind him:

"Tiger head, do you miss your father, go home and see it in a few days!"

Unexpectedly, when Li Hutou heard this, he shook his head and waved his hand in a panic, and said with a sad face:

"Seeing that my father is going to be trained again, I feel trembling when I stay together, Brother Li, you still let me stay here in Tianjin, how about I practice more?"

Hearing this, everyone laughed, Li Hutou was very diligent in practicing martial arts, every time he followed Yu Dayou's side, he had never been lazy, but he was afraid that his father would be afraid of death since he was a child, and he really didn't want to see him.

Wang Tong didn't answer, thinking that you don't want your father, but Li Wenyuan thought that you must be thinking very much, and you will definitely have to send them back in a few days to let their father and son meet.

Tianjin city is not as big as Beijing, but the prosperity inside and outside the city is much stronger than Beijing, at this time the canal has been opened, the official ships and civilian ships began to go south and north, and the flow of logistics and people also followed the traffic.

Wang Tong and others went out of the West Gate, this side is close to the canal, but the prosperity is more than the city, Wang Tong only then knows who the Xingcai Inn is prepared for such a big place, the merchants who come and go from the south to the north, who does not need to live in the store, the wharf on the side of the canal is everywhere, large and small ships dock, cars and horses labor back and forth, unloading and loading, and there are all kinds of shops and vendors to do these people's business.

is so prosperous and prosperous, every time I watch it, it evokes Wang Tong's memories, and I feel more emotional.

To go to the new barracks, you must pass through this place, and after seeing it, Wang Tong is not bored, it is not uncommon for boats to come and go on the river, but now it looks a little different.

There was a large ship parked on the edge of the largest pier, and the passing ships had to approach and leave, and for some unknown reason, there was such a delay, and the navigation up and down was not smooth, and a large part of the canal was blocked.
