Chapter 288 is moved with affection
It's just that Huang Jin is just a slave of the heavenly family after all, where does he have the strength to control the king? As the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, although he is missed by the Son of Heaven, he does not dare to go against the will of the Son of Heaven after all. When he saw Yan Hong meeting him, he slapped the son of heaven's ass, and he was extremely numb, and he even labeled Yan Hong as a lucky villain in his heart, and he didn't feel a burst of disgust.
Not to mention that Lao Huang was sullen in his heart, he saw the eunuchs who were waiting below shuttling back and forth, filling the table with tea, snacks, and fruits. Although it is not a rare rarity in the world, it is also quite delicate and beautiful. At the mercy of the arrangement, Huang Jin waved his hand and drove them downstairs.
I saw Jiajing say: "If what you say here today spreads, there will be no one left, all of them will be killed, and they will all listen carefully." Then he said to Yan Hong: "Yan family boy, I chose to see you here, just because I can't hear the truth in Xiyuan." Whether it's your grandfather or Xu Zisheng, they won't be honest with me. They will only say what they want to say, or what I want to hear. When you get to Xiyuan in the future, I'm afraid you won't be able to tell me the truth, and I also know about it. But, if you dare to lie to me here, I'll let those boys downstairs beat you to death. Your grandfather can't save you, you know? ”
Yan Hong nodded hurriedly and said, "Xiao Ke understands, in front of your elder, you will never dare to tell half a lie." ”
Jiajing nodded and said, "It's good to understand, these tea and snacks are not for the sake of looking good." Your Uncle Zhu is very poor, and he is pretentious. It's almost impossible to swing. Eat as much as you want, drink as much as you want. I took that out of my teeth. Just listen to you a few words of truth. ”
Yan Hongwan didn't expect that the other party would call himself Uncle Zhu. This is clearly treating himself as a nephew. Although the heart of the emperor is unpredictable, I can't help but be moved when I think of the Heavenly Family as my nephew. He thought to himself that his grandfather was right. In front of this son of heaven, it is the most correct thing not to be too rigid about the etiquette of the court, and to put on a posture of a son and nephew. Of course, he also remembered a few other words of his grandfather's advice: Even if the emperor is affectionate to you, you must not be unable to find the north by yourself. Whoever boasts of the saint and judges wisely. It's always right.
Therefore, Yan Hong hurriedly smiled and said: "Thank you to the gods for rewarding the fairy fruit and fairy tea, the kid eats and drinks this time, I want to increase my longevity for another twelve years, and I will listen to your teachings for the old twelve years." Your old man just asks, and the little one must know everything and say everything. When he said this, Emperor Jiajing smiled again, Lu Bing nodded secretly, and Huang Jin was so angry that the chrysanthemum tightened.
Emperor Jiajing asked first: "Your grandfather Yan Weizhong." He is the first scribe of my court. You were born in a family of scholars, you must have read poetry and books since you were a child, and you are proficient in reading the Five Classics and Four Books, I don't know what fame you have obtained? ”
Yan Hong hurriedly smiled and said, "Back to the old man's words." The kid is incompetent, he is dizzy as soon as he picks up a book, and he seems to weigh a thousand pounds when he lifts the pen. But I heard the sound of the abacus beads. When I saw the pattern on the ticket, I smiled. I really can't mention this knowledge. Can't bring it up. It's just a showman's fame, and people still look at my grandfather's face. Pingsuri. Do business and make some money. ”
Huang Jin snorted coldly: "As far as the old slave knows, I'm afraid it's not to make some money, right?" Most of the major shops in Jingshi are occupied by you, and it is very convenient for Yan Xiaoxianggong to earn this silver. ”
Lu Bingha smiled and said: "Brother, this kid was born with a pair of flowery intestines, and when it comes to making money, his saliva is three feet long." I, Zhiweixuan, if I don't keep an eye on it, I'm afraid I'll bully him. ”
Jiajing said: "That's not what I said, but if you inquire about Jingshi, if this businessman doesn't have a strong backer, how can he stand still?" "This Emperor Jiajing has stayed in the Xingwang Mansion for more than ten years, but he is not an ordinary emperor who grew up in the hands of women in the deep palace and does not know the world. On the contrary, he knows a lot about the people in the market. If someone under him wants to play something to make a patch and charge two thousand taels, the trick of using eggs as a rarity is purely looking for death.
Jiajing said to Yan Hong again: "If you can make money, this is actually a good skill." Let's just say that in the imperial court, there are many officials with a belly of moral articles, but when it comes to making money, we may not be able to find a few. If you can spend money, you can find a group. Let me ask you, what did you do when you went to Jiangnan this time to pardon Xu Hai? is Xu Hai's wife, just say that the old man may not have no way. ”
Yan Hongzhi said that although the Son of Heaven was interested in his thoughts after reading the recital, and sent a holy decree to pardon Xu Hai, he still didn't know much about this matter, but he asked him to understand it in person. This treatment can be said to be rare in the country. You must know that the Ming Dynasty has more than 10,000 civil and military forces, if everyone asks them face to face when they do things, the emperor will not do anything. Naturally, the Son of Heaven relied on his own ideas, his own likes and dislikes, and dealt with it first. Judging from this point, Lu Binghe and Grandpa's judgment was correct. The Heavenly Family does have a faint inclination towards the matter of opening the sea.
At that moment, Yan Hong hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed again: "Back to the old man's words, that Xu Hai lady is indeed as beautiful as a flower, and she is even more charming and moving." But the conscience of heaven and earth, the old fairy watched, the kid can be innocent with the Xu Hai lady, and the silk is not stained. It was the maid beside her, although the water was smart and moving, and the kid couldn't help but be tempted, but after all, he didn't get involved. He thought that if he pretended to be a high-spirited and bright posture, the emperor didn't know how much he had seen. It's better to tell the truth, but it's flattering.
Jiajing really tasted excited: "Oh, since this Xu Hai lady is so beautiful, you also like it, how can you not use it?" Even she refuses to ask for a maid, is there something else to hide? "He went up to those ministers, and every time he wrote a book to admonish, he was a man who had never died since ancient times, and he was tired of seeing it. Yan Hong admits that he is lustful, but it makes his eyes shine.
Yan Hong said: "It's all because I want to recruit An Xu Hai and contribute to the Heavenly Family." If he moved his woman and compared his heart to himself, then he didn't use a knife to play with me, but how could he be willing to do things for the court? ”
Jiajing smiled: "A good one compares his heart to himself." We'll talk about that later. So what kind of ability does Xu Hai have, you are bent on accepting him and talking to him, but why? ”
Yan Hong said: "The old man has seen thousands of miles, and the kid's shallow thoughts, please give the old man advice." The kid wanted to come and speak for Xu Hai, but in fact, he spoke for the court and the heavenly family. My family is favored by the emperor, and my grandfather teaches us on weekdays, always saying: Our Yan family can have today, not because of our own ability, and there is no credit. It is all thanks to the grace of the heavenly family, so that our family can eat and drink. You can't lose your conscience when you are a man, you have to think about everything for the sake of the heavenly family, what the heavenly family thinks, we have to do it first, if the heavenly family is not good to say, we have to say it for the heavenly family. ”
Yan Hong didn't talk about the topic here, but used the topic to play and slapped a sycophant. When Huang Jin heard this, his face turned white, and he said in his heart: Can this blatant sycophant still have a face? With his usual character, he would like to raise his fist and kill this guy. But in front of the emperor, how dare to act recklessly?
Jiajing smiled and said, "But Zhong is still so good at talking, these words are just a little modest." Your grandfather did his best for the court, how can he say that he has no ability and no merit? When you go back this time, you will also bring a message to your grandfather for me, so that he doesn't have to think too much about it. I have known him for many years, and no one else can take away this friendship. As long as he does his own thing, I will ensure that he will be rich and prosperous for the rest of his life, and no one will shake him. Okay, don't talk about these things that you don't have, what is good about Xu Hai, you can tell me well. ”
Yan Hong hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him, and then said: "Xu Hai is a widow, according to our Ming law, if he is captured at sea, he should be beheaded to show the public." It's just that this time it's a little different. The old fairy Rong Yu, the kid went to Jiangnan this time, originally just on the order of the Governor of Lu Dadu to investigate in detail whether Xu Hai surrendered or was captured. But after this trip, I heard Xu Hai and his wife talk about the benefits of maritime trade, which is really a sea of gold and silver, and a huge amount of wealth. However, some of this money was seized by the big and small Francophiles, and some were earned by those maritime merchants who dared to smuggle, and the imperial court did not see a penny......"
When Jiajing heard this, his brows furrowed slightly. Yan Hong observes words and looks, how can he not know? continued: "Boy, I have been in charge of money since I was a child, and I have all my thoughts on money. When I heard this, I was anxious. I heard my grandfather say that now that Taicang is empty and the country is insufficient, those ministers don't want to think about how to make money, but focus on the inner money of Banzai, which is really hateful. ”
When Jiajing heard this, he couldn't help but nod, "Damn! It's just disgusting! ”
Yan Hong followed these words and said: "Therefore, the kid thinks about it, there is not enough money in the court on this side, and even the emperor and his old man are also tight; On the other hand, the overseas white money is all cheaper than those Yiren and private businessmen, but what kind of thing is this! The kid had the courage to think of a strategy, as long as the sea ban was opened and the court was involved, it would be a million benefits at that time. Of course, Taicang has to divide half of the tax collected, but can't the inner treasury also see half? Besides, when the time comes, as long as the people sent are competent, there is a lot to be done in how to divide the account. What's more, if Banzai participates, it will be like the imperial store, and all the money earned will go to the inside. ”
Huang Jin hurriedly interjected at this time: "Boy, what you said is not right. At the beginning, the sea ban in the second year of Jiajing was issued by Banzai himself, and you used some market calculations here, do you have to change the imperial court's decree? ”
Jiajing said: "Lao Huang, I think what you said is wrong. At the beginning, the sea ban was serious, and it was originally this chapter on Xia Yan. That Xia Yan was beheaded by the imperial court, what else did he have to do with this chapter? ”
Huang Jin felt bitter in his heart: I said long live, let's not bring such a joke. Xia Yan is true, but you are the approver. Besides, not only Xia Yan, but also Yan Song and everything else later had related excerpts. Not to mention, when he thought of his loyal minister Xia Yan being killed by Yan Song, Huang Jin was sad for a while. It's just that he won't eat too much to be honest with the emperor.
