Chapter 185: The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth
Let's say that Ma Ya went to Sister Hua for the emperor to get 5,000 taels of silver tickets.
The reason why Ma Ya gave so much to the emperor this time is very simple, she wants to let the emperor know that with her Ma Ya, the emperor can have his own private money to spend, and the emperor can spend it lavishly.
Then, Ma Ya asked Sister Hua to make a lot of money when she was doing things with the government.
Sister Hua is not as cautious as she was at the beginning, Sister Hua now offers a very high price, and all the officials who handle it disagree.
Because of the officials, Sister Hua has prepared their benefits.
Sister Hua said it very beautifully, that is, the silver earned is spent, and after a business is over, Sister Hua got the silver, and Sister Hua gave the officials some so-called hardship fees.
Sister Hua gave the silver after the business ended, which means that the officials can't be caught by others.
With the emperor as a backer, the officials all benefited, so everyone made money and got along.
Whose money is earned?
Of course, earn money from the treasury.
In Ma Ya's words to Sister Hua, this world was originally theirs, and now it is too much to earn some silver from the treasury? !
This can mediate the relationship. Ma Ya successfully sent her brother's two children to the emperor, and Ma Ya was already very satisfied!
Ma Ya explained that Sister Hua was doing business outside, and she had to keep a detailed account for which official had to leave a detailed account of how much benefit she had given.
Ma Ya did this to prevent someone from checking Sister Hua, and to control the group of people in the Queen Mother's Party.
Ma Ya asked Sister Hua to slowly infiltrate the Queen Mother's party. It's not hard, it's just about taking your time.
What minister doesn't like silver?!
What is the open and secret struggle between the ministers of the palace? What are the concubines in the palace fighting for?
That's the benefits!
Everyone is fighting for profit!
Sister Hua co-opted and corrupted the Queen Mother's party, relying on silver, one or two hundred taels can't catch your eyes, what about five hundred taels? What about eight hundred taels? Aren't you tempted?! There are very few people who don't like silver, it's just rare.
How many people were imprisoned when corrupt officials were arrested during the Taizu period? How many people were exiled? How many people were beheaded?
For these horses, my heart is counting.
Sister Hua also thinks very clearly, her money is earned legally, and she will give it to whoever she wants.
She gave the silver mainly for convenience, for example, the queen mother's younger brother was pulled into the water by her, and Sister Hua used him to ask for debts, so that he would show up and leave a handle for others, and Sister Hua herself was on the outside.
The reason is very simple, it is difficult for Sister Hua to go to the government to ask for the project money, so hand over this matter to the younger brother of the Queen Mother who can easily get the project money, and no one else can say anything about Sister Hua.
Doing engineering is all about getting money, just like doing business.
The younger brother of the Queen Mother saw that Sister Hua had earned a few sums of silver, so he was red-eyed, and behind his back his sister Empress Dowager Zhang, he secretly cooperated with Sister Hua again to do business.
So Empress Dowager Zhang was also a little helpless about Ma Ya, and she also knew that Ma Ya used this method to let herself not get along with her and not remember her previous grudges.
That would be because Princess Jing came forward, Empress Dowager Zhang was still the crown princess at that time, she was afraid that Princess Jing would trouble her, and she was afraid that the emperor would press this matter on her head, she panicked early in the morning and took a car out of the city to Nandu, she was really embarrassed at that time!
Empress Dowager Zhang thought that Ma Ya was afraid that she would find her to settle the account, so she asked Sister Hua to take her younger brother to do business, which was like bribing Empress Dowager Zhang in disguise.
The reason why Empress Dowager Zhang wants to think on the bright side is because she can't stop her younger brother anymore!
Who doesn't want to get rich?!
Ma Ya has now earned a staggering sum of money, and the smuggled salt is sold under Gongru Villa, which is a million profits.
The salt tax is high, and it is sold privately.
If you sell official salt, you can't make much money from the price difference, mainly because of the salt tax you earn!
Just putting this salt tax in his own pocket is a huge amount of money.
The Imperial History of Salt Patrol has been taken.
Just privately sent the silver to patrol the salt imperial history, it reached tens of thousands of taels, think about how much benefit Ma Ya has gained!
Now everyone knows that Sister Hua is powerful, and Sister Hua hired someone from Gongru Villa as a bodyguard.
In the eyes of outsiders, it seems that Sister Hua is borrowing the power of Gongru Villa to do business like a fish in water in the business field, and no bandit or robber dares to attack Sister Hua!
At the same time, because of the relationship between Sister Hua and Ma Ya, it is much more convenient to deal with officials from all over the world.
Of course, this is a superficial phenomenon, but in fact, Gongru Villa is under the name of Ma Ya and his brother, of course outsiders don't know about these things.
Ma Ya's brother is now driven out of work by Ma Ya, bought so much land, and enjoys his life.
It is now Ma Ya who is overtaking Feng Qinghui.
Of course, compared with more than 20 years ago, Feng Qinghui's subordinates are now incomparable
Now under Feng Qinghui, many people are old and can't do it anymore.
Although some young backbones were developed later, the number of them was greatly reduced compared to before, and it was incomparable to the previous large teams.
What's more, there are many people in the detective team and the black-clothed team now, and they are afraid that they will smell any clues, so they dare not recruit people in a big way.
In other words, Ma Ya's spy team has been weakened a lot more than before, but Gongru Villa dominates the rivers and lakes, which has not changed, and the reputation of Gongru Villa is even more famous than it was back then!
The reason why it is even louder is that the current Gongru Villa is on the side of the government, and it has an intricate relationship than before, especially the rising Sister Hua hired someone from Gongru Villa as a bodyguard, which has a great reputation and a deep influence among the people!
Ma Ya is now tough herself, and she has developed Sister Hua into the most important assistant.
The role that Sister Hua is playing now is really no less than that played by the owner of Gongru Villa.
Sister Hua's interpersonal relationships in the northern capital, dealing with various provinces and industries, and making many friends, these people are invisible forces!
Okay, the topic is a bit far, let's take a look at what the emperor thought about after Ma Ya left!
Because the emperor was influenced by Ma Ya's thinking just now, he felt that what Ma Ya said was very reasonable.
Ma Ya's shrewdness lies in the fact that she dissects what others can think of and lets the emperor see it first.
Such an advantage is that Ma Ya gives the emperor a feeling, that is, she is open in her heart!
Ma Ya not only made such a conversation to exonerate herself, but also guided the emperor to lead the contradiction between Concubine Chen and Lian'er.
Concubine Chen has a conflict with Lian'er, and there is no need for Ma Ya to mention it, the emperor himself knows it very well in his heart.
The emperor's heart is like a mirror, these concubines in his harem, they are not only their own women, behind each of them, they represent a kind of power.
Concubine Chen and Lian'er had a bad relationship, not only because they were jealous and conflicted, but also because Lord Chen and Lord Sun had disagreements, and they also fought in Ji'er's backyard because the two families were in two camps.
The emperor thought that maybe the Chen family would buy off the descendants of the Sun family, and installed an inside line in the Sun family, so that the rumor that Ma Ya was the princess was spread.
Of course, whether the Sun Mansion will also spend money to buy off the descendants of the Chen Mansion, this is also a possibility.
Putting spies in the opponent's mansion is a common thing between hostile ministers, mainly hoping to pinch the opponent's handle!
In fact, it is the same in the palace, according to the emperor's understanding, there are people from Concubine Chen around Lian'er, and is there anyone from Concubine Chen's side?
The emperor believes that there is, because Lian'er is also very shrewd, especially the horse in front of Lian'er, a ghost and a ghost!
The emperor didn't know that in fact, there were people from Ma Ya around him.
Feng Qinghui's people are everywhere, although they can't be compared with when Emperor Huiwu handed over people to her at the beginning, but now the ability of these people should not be underestimated.
After the emperor finished chatting with Ma Ya, after thinking about it, the emperor felt that Concubine Chen and the Chen family were making a fuss about Ma Ya, and wanted to frame Sun Fu and his Empress Sun.
Keir was annoyed.
The reason why Ji'er is annoyed is because even if Ma Ya is a princess, it should not be known to everyone.
Originally, Emperor Fu Kang had always been worried about not knowing the whereabouts of Emperor Huiwu, but this matter made him worry until he was dying, and he learned that Emperor Huiwu had gone to cultivate with Zhang Shenxian.
More than 20 years have passed since the matter of Emperor Huiwu, and finally everyone gradually forgot about him, and it was not at this time that there were rumors that Ma Ya was the daughter of Emperor Huiwu.
Ji'er knows that tomorrow, there will definitely be ministers playing this rumor, and when the time comes, it will be difficult for the court to avoid this topic!
In fact, Empress Dowager Zhang had already heard this rumor at dinner, and she immediately sent someone to take care of Ma Ya.
Empress Dowager Zhang took care of Ma Ya and did not inform the emperor. Instead, they asked the horses to be locked up, locked them and put two eunuchs outside the door to guard them, and the Empress Dowager Zhang asked people to find Ji'er.
The emperor's head is big.
Now, he was sitting there, staring blankly at the steaming tea in front of him, and he was listening to Empress Dowager Zhang talk to him.
"Your Majesty, this is not a trivial matter, whether it is true or not, I have already made her take care of her. At this time, there was a rumor that she was the daughter of Emperor Huiwu, what did she want? Something is wrong! β
The emperor raised his head and looked at the well-maintained mother in front of him, and he said, "I talked to her today, and I also asked Ma Ya, and what she said is not unreasonable!" β
The emperor Ji'er hid the content of his conversation with Ma Ya, hidden this part of the struggle between Chen and Sun, and took out the example that Ma Ya could not be a princess and told the queen mother.
"Queen Mother, you must know that Princess Jing saved Ma Ya back then because Xu Xiaomei was not because Ma Ya was the daughter of Emperor Huiwu. If Princess Jing really knew that Ma Ya was the daughter of Emperor Huiwu, and she didn't blame Sun Fu, could she still let Ma Ya do the things that served her at Lian'er? Princess Jing will definitely take Ma Ya in! β
"Your Majesty, Ma Ya's mouth is so clever, the emperor can't listen to her, it's better to send someone to investigate this matter yourself!"
"Queen Mother, you just arrested her like this, I'm afraid that it won't affect Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
"Your Majesty, I'm not arresting her, I'm asking people to take care of her. Until I find out who she is, I won't allow her to have any contact with anyone outside! β
The emperor was about to say something, when suddenly someone came to spread the word, and the queen asked to see her!
The emperor asked Lian'er to come in, and the queen gave the queen mother a salute and sat on the side.
"Queen Mother, I heard that Ma Ya was taken care of by you?"
"Well, I'm talking to the emperor about this. Now there are rumors outside that she is the daughter of Emperor Huiwu! β
Lian'er just sat there and didn't speak, she just looked at the emperor and waited for the emperor to speak.
"Queen Mother, in this way, isn't it just not to let her out of the palace? I decreed that she should not go out. Taking care of Ma Ya will not have a good impact, after all, she is the person in front of the queen. β
When the emperor said this, the weight is not small.
The Queen Mother takes care of the queen's people, if this spreads, what will people outside think?
They will think that the Queen Mother is dissatisfied with the queen and arrests the people around her.
It is said that the affairs of the harem should be in charge of the queenΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
With such a discussion, it is inevitable that the outside will say that the harem does not seem to be so harmonious, which affects the reputation of the royal family!
Emperor Ji'er now proposes that Ma Ya is the queen's person, that is, he hides this potential meaning in it and lets the queen mother figure it out for herself.
Empress Dowager Zhang thought about it and said to Lian'er: "Queen, I think you have also heard that my younger brother used to partner with Sister Hua in business, but I stopped him, and now I heard that he started to do business with Sister Hua behind my back." I can't control him, and I can't send people to watch him every day. Queen, what I mean by this is to let you know that I am not looking at Ma Ya for you, and I also want Ma Ya's identity to be clear, can you understand this? β
"Queen Mother, I understand!" Lian'er said.
After Lian'er finished speaking, she glanced at the emperor again, and when she saw the emperor drooping his head, she said: "Queen Mother, I am also afraid that this matter will spread out, and I am afraid that people with ulterior motives outside will gossip, and I came to you for this!" Queen Mother, do you think this will work, I will send someone to take care of Ma Ya, and I will guarantee that Ma Ya will not leave the palace. She is in the palace and can't have contact with the outside, so it's the same to send someone to check outside?! β
Empress Dowager Zhang was stunned, she thought that she should also give in, otherwise, the queen really thought that she was instigated by Concubine Chen.
Empress Dowager Zhang has her own abacus, if Ma Ya is the daughter of Emperor Huiwu, and Sun Fu has an unshirkable responsibility, then whether the queen can keep her position will be talked about.
If not, then it's better, it's better to do a favor now.
The emperor and queen both came to find him, and if he insisted on going his own way, it would be too unkind.
Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Zhang said: "Since this is the case, then I will return her to you." Remember, she is not allowed to leave the palace, she will stay in Kunning Palace! β
"Yes, I wrote it down!"
After Queen Lian'er sent someone to bring Ma Ya back, she said to Ma Ya: "Ma Ya, it seems that things are not so simple. β
"Queen Mother, don't worry, who can get my handle?"
"I'm just afraid that if you have any accidents with the Queen Mother, if that's the case, our Sun Mansion will be finished!"
"It's not over, don't worry!" After Ma Ya finished speaking, she said to Lian'er: "Queen Mother, in the future, we will talk in private, and you will also call me Ma Ya as before, don't treat me as a princess, you know, the wall has ears!" β
"I'm afraid I've wronged you!"
"It's been so many years, I'm used to it!"
Lian'er nodded, and then said to Ma Ya, "Ma Ya, then what should we do next?" β
"Don't do anything, just let a few masters in our house outside, do whatever they do, and we will not move." Ma Ya spoke, still picked up the pot and added tea to Lian'er, and said, "Now, the emperor speaks for us, which is beneficial to us." β
"I'm afraid that the Queen Mother will make a fuss about it!"
"Don't worry, you see, when the time comes, the Queen Mother's family will come to persuade the Queen Mother not to embarrass me!"
"Why?"
"Her brother has a handle in my hands, what else is Sister Hua not good to talk to her brother about?! Sister Hua will say that he will be moved! Ma Ya smiled.
Lian'er looked at Ma Ya in surprise and said, "No wonder the Queen Mother said something like that just now." β
"I don't know what the Queen Mother just said, but I know that it is impossible for her to frame me now. We just need to target Concubine Chen. And we are targeting her now, that is, we don't do anything, let her go to activities, the more frequent her activities, the better, the more beneficial it is for us! β
Lian'er nodded, agreeing with Ma Ya's opinion.
Lian'er felt that she was a little powerless in the rumored matter of Ma Ya!
Lian'er thought, after all, Ma Ya has been lurking by her side for so many years, her ability, Lian'er is not as good as her, and now she shows that Ma Ya is the identity of the princess, you can imagine what kind of power is behind her.
Even the lord who was loyal to Emperor Fu Kang was taken down by Ma Ya, although he is now the queen, what can he do with her?
I have to listen to Ma Ya!
