Chapter 456: Hou Ye Attracts Investment
Yang Yiqing was taken by the West Factory.
The news soon spread throughout the city.
The ministers of the Jingshi couldn't believe it, because Yang Yiqing was too famous, and his fame was not his talent and official position, but what Yang Yiqing had done on the three sides over the years.
The functions and powers of the trilateral general system are to supervise Shaanxi, Yansui, and Ningxia, and have the right to take over the military power when foreign enemies enter the country, command the trilateral troops and horses to fight against foreign enemies, and have the right to deal with trilateral government affairs and civil affairs in peacetime.
Yang Yiqing has done a good job over the years, which is still secondary, the most important thing is that Yang Yiqing has also done two very significant things on the three sides, one is to vigorously develop Shaanxi Ma Zheng, and the other is to repair the Great Wall.
He repaired the Great Wall is not playing mahjong, but really repairing the Great Wall, since the Tang and Song dynasties, the Great Wall passes in many places have been dilapidated and in disrepair, and some sections have even collapsed due to age or military disasters, Yang Yiqing arrived in office after the play to invite the Hongzhi Emperor, after the cabinet discussion, every year to allocate silver to levy the people to repair the Great Wall, Yang Yiqing has done this thing over the years.
There is also the development of horse politics, the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia is a hundred years of old enemies, and the Ming Dynasty often loses more than Mongolia wins, the biggest reason is that there are no horses and horses, Yang Yiqing general system of the three sides of these years to encourage the border town guards and the people to raise horses, to offset the levy tax with horses, several years down the results are remarkable, the situation of the lack of horses in the border army has been greatly improved.
It is undeniable that these two events have a far-reaching impact on the Ming Dynasty, and it may not be obvious now, thirty or fifty years later, sober people of insight will understand that Yang Yiqing has done two major things to extend the national ancestry.
Such a capable minister was actually taken into prison by Liu Jin.
The loyal minister who cares about the society sighs sadly in his own house. How far does Liu Jin want to harm the Ming Dynasty before he is willing to give up?
The Ming Dynasty is a good hall, how can it be described by the words "black smoke miasma" now?
As for when Yang Yiqing was taken down by the West Factory, he also took down an additional middle-aged scholar by the way, and this trivial matter has been automatically ignored by everyone. Even the minister's life is in danger, who can take care of that unlucky nameless scholar.
…………
…………
An operation codenamed "Saving the Loyal Ministers Qingqing" was launched in Beijing.
On the second day of Yang Yiqing's imprisonment, Du Hong, the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, took the lead in asking the cabinet and the celebrant to ask for forgiveness, asking Liu Jin to open up and release Yang Yiqing.
Liu Jin was furious, and originally planned to kill another chicken to make an example of the monkey, but when he saw that the signature of Song Shu was actually Qin Kan's father-in-law Du Hong. Although Liu Jin was angry, he was also quite jealous. only sent the song back to the cabinet, and reprimanded a few words without pain, but he didn't dare to do anything to Du Hong.
Qin Kan's terrible Liu Jin has been taught more than once or twice, and Liu Jin doesn't want to provoke him from the bottom of his heart. Maybe in the future, I will wait for a good opportunity to get rid of him in one fell swoop. But now. He was unwilling to do anything to Du Hong for such a trivial matter, thus offending Qin Kan.
So Du Hong was gently let go by Liu Jin.
It's good to have someone take the lead, day three. The thirteen imperial histories of the Metropolitan Procuratorate were sparse at the same time, please forgive Yang Yiqing, and several Shangshu and waiters from the six departments also pleaded with Liu Jin in private.
Liu Jin didn't expect Yang Yiqing's reputation in the court to be so deep, almost all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty interceded for him, a trilateral general system, and the power is indeed not small in the local area, but it is not worth mentioning in the capital of Shangshu Shilang who walks all over the street, what is Yang Yiqing's ability to make the Manchu Dynasty run and cheer for him?
However, the Manchu ministers still underestimated Liu Jin's cautious eyes after all.
The more the ministers pleaded, the more unstoppable Liu Jin remembered Yang Yiqing's words when he rejected his solicitation, and even the undisguised contempt and ridicule in his eyes.
Liu Jin mercilessly rejected all the ministers' advances.
Now the emperor ignores state affairs, and the affairs of the big and small dynasties are all decided by Liu Jin alone, Zhu Houzhao has just ascended the throne and is lazy and slack, at that time the ministers still have hope for him, and they run to Chengtian Gate and kneel and cry for a while, and howl in their throats for a while, "The soul of the first emperor has returned" and so on, in order to arouse Zhu Houzhao's shame, so as to work hard to go to the city and work hard. It's a pity that Zhu Houzhao's shame seems to be buried deep in a canyon in his heart, and he can't wake up with nine thunderbolts.
So in desperation, the ministers had to acquiesce to Liu Jin's monopoly on the court, which was really a very helpless choice, after all, it was better to have someone in charge than no one to take care of things, which is also the reason why Liu Jin was called "the emperor".
The ministers' pleas were returned one by one, no one had any way, let alone looking for Zhu Houzhao to uphold justice, and now Zhu Houzhao in addition to fighting dogs and cocks and building a leopard house, should ignore all state affairs, which can be described as the leader in the ranks of faint monarchs.
In the chaos and hustle, Li Dongyang, a cabinet scholar, visited Liu Jin privately, but was politely sent out by Liu Jin, who was smiling and groaning, in less than half an hour after entering Liu Jin's private house.
When the ministers saw Li Dongyang's ugly face, everyone understood that Yang Yiqing could not be saved, and Liu Jin had made up his mind to put him to death, even if the cabinet scholars came forward to intercede in person, it was useless.
******************************************************************
The news that Yang Yiqing was taken by the West Factory, Qin Kan naturally knew about it.
When he was in Liaodong, Yang Yiqing took on the great responsibility of mobilizing the Xuanfu border army to rush to the aid of Liaodong, and finally helped Qin Kan get rid of Li Gao.
However, this time Yang Yiqing was taken down by Liu Jin, but Qin Kan did not help, the reason is very simple, the situation does not allow it.
Don't do it for the sake of it, it is foolish or brave, and it is a matter of opinion. Just as Liu Jin is very jealous of Qin Kan now, Qin Kan is also afraid of Liu Jin, the two are like two martial arts masters who first tried each other to attack a few moves when they duel, and then quickly separated, and then each stepped on the Nine Palaces Bagua Step to confront each other in circles, looking for each other's loopholes in silence.
It can be said that the current Cold War stage of confrontation between Qin Kan and Liu Jin is present.
A few days ago, he killed the West Factory, and at the very end, he forced Liu Jin to cooperate with him in the Golden Palace to cover up the matter. It can be said that it is equivalent to slapping Liu Jin a few times in front of the world, Liu Jin has been so humiliated, he is on the verge of collapse or outburst, to tell the truth, although he wants to help Yang Yiqing, Qin Kanwei really doesn't want to stimulate the fragile father-in-law Liu anymore......
Yang Yiqing was taken, and Liu Jin made it clear that he wanted to put him to death, which seemed irretrievable, but Qin Kan vaguely remembered that Yang Yiqing in history seemed to have lived for many years, and he lived a very nourishing life. not only killed Liu Jin out of his plan. and became the head of the cabinet twice, and it is said that this time his life should not be extinct.
Because of Qin Kan's crossing, maybe history has changed a lot, but I don't know if Yang Yiqing's fate will change with Qin Kan's crossing. So Qin Kan is not in a hurry. He's still waiting. When things take a turn for the better, he plans to wait until the last moment, if he finds out that Yang Yiqing is really dead. Then Qin Kan will fight with Liu Jin again, whether it is Yang Yiqing's favor at the beginning, or whether it is to leave a seed of a famous minister for the Ming Dynasty, anyway, Qin Kan will not really sit back and watch Liu Jin kill Yang Yiqing.
…………
…………
When the Jingshi court was noisy and chaotic because of Yang Yiqing, Qin Kan was doing his own thing.
In an elegant teahouse on the outer street of Juxianfang in the south of Beijing, the teahouse has been contracted by the Marquis of Qin, Ding Shun stood downstairs with a knife, and a group of fierce brocade guards surrounded the teahouse, and pedestrians were frightened and avoided.
In the Accord on the second floor, Qin Kan was wearing a black robe, holding a tea cup, and gently blowing the hot tea casually.
Standing in front of him were more than ten famous businessmen in Beijing, everyone in the business world of Beijing was a big boss calling for wind and rain, but standing in front of Qin Kan at this time, he was trembling, silent, and he didn't dare to breathe.
Now that the big businessman who is on the stage does not have the shadow of a court official behind him? However, these shadows are not worth mentioning in front of Qin Houye, Qin Houye is not even afraid of Liu Jin, hundreds of Xichang fans will kill him when he says it, and he doesn't put Liu Jin's face in his eyes at all, and Liu Jin swallowed his anger afterwards and gently exposed it.
With such a fierce god, what is the use of the merchants' backgrounds being strong? Moving out will only attract laughter, is Marquis Qin afraid of the background?
This is the reason why these big businessmen are standing respectfully in front of Qin Kan at the moment, in the eyes of Qin Houye, they are not much different from an ant, and if they say they are pinched to death, they will be pinched to death.
The court officials usually try to avoid dealing directly with the merchants, so as not to tarnish their reputations, and the rumors of dealing with the merchants are not good, and it is incomprehensible why this Hou Ye seems to have no scruples about his reputation at all, and takes the initiative to invite them, the business owners?
The room was silent for a long time, all the bosses watched Qin Kan sipping tea unhurriedly, everyone's eyelids couldn't stop jumping, and most of them looked left and right in horror, for fear that the Hou Ye in front of him would suddenly throw the tea cup in his hand to the ground, and then countless knives and axes poured in like a tide outside the house, and chopped them into dog meat sauce with a hula......
I don't know how long it took, Qin Kan suddenly put the tea cup on the table lightly, and made a slight collision sound, and more than a dozen big businessmen's cheeks twitched at the same time, and they all felt frightened.
"The shopkeeper Peng of Wan'an Firm, the shopkeeper Xie of Fengda Firm, oh, and Zhou Yuanwai of Zhouji Firm, hehe, Zhou Yuanwai was the head of the household department in Hongzhi Nian, and he was still Qin's predecessor, but I didn't expect Zhou Yuanwai to create such a family business after becoming a scholar, which is really respectable and admirable......" Qin Kan smiled and groaned one by one.
The merchants became more and more frightened, and suddenly they felt that they had become a piece of flesh and bones that the dogs were worried about, fragrant and steaming......
Only that Zhou member is more calm, after all, he was a court official, and he has been traveling up and down for many years, and he has a lot of connections in the court, and he knows that Qin Kan will not do anything to him.
"Marquis Qin deigned to summon us and others, I don't know what to see?" Zhou Yuanwai asked politely.
Qin Kan smiled and said: "I don't dare to see the teaching, Senior Zhou tortures me, today Qin invited you rich businessmen, but there is a reluctant invitation......"
Zhou Yuanwai gritted his teeth, and the faces of the dozen or so businessmen beside him were also a little unsightly.
They have heard this sentence a lot, and the so-called "reluctant invitation" is just a euphemism, no matter how many detours this sentence takes, the final result will inevitably be to take out the silver from their pockets, no need to ask, the silver is the last to be put into the pockets of officials.
The world knows that Liu Jin, the master of ceremonies, is greedy, no matter whether the official enters Beijing to report on work or business, he must first visit Liu Gonggong and send tens of thousands of taels of silver, and then he can start to do business, otherwise Liu Gonggong will be very unhappy, for example, a patrol named Zhou Jian was transferred out of the field to patrol the field, and when he came back, he was too poor and did not send silver to Liu Gonggong, and he hanged himself at home the next day after entering Beijing in anger.
But everyone didn't expect that Qin Houye, who broke his wrist with Liu Jin, also had this problem.
Think about it, the world is as black as a crow, and a white crow suddenly appears among the ten thousand black crows, which is out of place......
It's just that with the respect of the prince, he deliberately gathered everyone together, and said "reluctant invitation" straight to the point, which is simply an open fire and robbery, and this pair of food is even more ugly than Liu Jin, too unsophisticated.
"If Marquis Qin has difficulties, how can we and other businessmen sit idly by? If the Hou Ye does not give up, I am willing to give the Hou Ye three silver ...... No, fifty thousand taels, please accept it with a smile. "Zhou Yuanwai plans to have a blood return.
Someone took the lead, and the rest had to respond enthusiastically.
"I, Wan'an Firm, am willing to give 40,000 taels."
"Fengda firm is willing to give 50,000 taels ......"
“…………”
Qin Kan frowned slightly, raised his hand and pressed down, and the room suddenly fell silent.
"Who do you think of Ben Hou? Is Benhou the kind of person who takes advantage of you? I am a hereditary prince, will I lack tens of thousands of taels of silver from you? ”
Everyone was stunned, and they became more and more confused, and they didn't know whether Qin Kan should listen to this right or the other way around, whether he really didn't want the silver, or he thought that the silver was too little......
Zhou Yuanwai's mood sank in vain.
If this Hou Ye really doesn't want silver, I'm afraid that his so-called "reluctant invitation" must be a very difficult thing to do, in contrast, Zhou Yuan is willing to Qin Kan take a sum of money and leave, everyone will be relaxed, just spend money to eliminate disasters, meat buns and dogs......
"Master Hou, please forgive me for waiting for Meng Lang's sin, I don't know what is difficult for Master Hou, if I can do it, I will never refuse."
Qin Kan nodded, lowered his voice and said, "All the shopkeepers know Liu Jin, the Taoist priest, right?" ”
Everyone nodded, Liu Jin's name is heard today, who dares not to know it?
"Ben Hou's reluctant invitation is...... If you are not embarrassed, you might as well mobilize yourself to recruit peerless masters, stab Liu Gonggong to death with a cold knife, and eliminate harm for the people......"
Thump!
Several timid businessmen immediately knelt down, their faces trembling palely.
The faces of the people who didn't kneel down were not much better, and they all gasped, and when they looked at Qin Kan again, their eyes were clearly like looking at a madman.
No one in the room made a sound, and the air seemed to have condensed.
After a long time, Qin Kan suddenly said empathetically: "Isn't this request too difficult for you?" ”
Everyone nodded frantically, their eyes red.
Qin Kan said with a pleasant face: "That...... Ben Hou will change the reluctant request? ”
Everyone continued to nod frantically, their eyes full of anticipation and ...... Implore.
Qin Kanzhi said, everyone was obviously begging him not to drag them on his back when he went crazy.
Qin Kan smiled and said: "Since everyone is not interested in stabbing Liu Gonggong to death, I don't know if they are interested in investing in Tianjin?" (To be continued......)
