Recently, the capital has not been very peaceful, and it has been reported that some people in the DPRK have been involved in the salt administration of the two Huai provinces, colluded with salt merchants to sell illegal salt, encroached on the salt tax of our dynasty, and endangered the interests of the state.

Regarding the salt administration in Jiangnan, it has never been peaceful, all the deficiencies related to salt transportation, the competent people are all the emperor's henchmen, the Jiangnan area is the emperor's money bag, and if someone wants to take money from his bag, he can ask for people's lives.

The excerpts in the history of the salt inspection are divided into open folds and dark folds, the folds are through the cabinet to the front of the emperor, only to say that it is suspected that someone in the court is meddling, and it has not yet been implemented to someone, so he implores the emperor to send a minister to assist him in investigating the salt case, this secret fold, I am afraid that it is caught in the fold of his invitation to the emperor, and the clues he found have been told to the emperor, and the monarch and the minister have sharpened their knives, and they are waiting to do a big job.

The emperor asked who wanted to take over this errand in the early dynasty, and went to Jiangnan for a trip, and the courtiers were all cowering and refusing to come out, and those who were involved in this case were already thinking about the way to get out, and those who did not have hands also knew that this was a tricky problem, and there was a wide range of implications behind it.

They felt that the emperor must have already had a suitable candidate, and the emperor would definitely instruct his henchmen to do this kind of thing, and the regulations must have been set in advance, and when the emperor asked the court, the person stood up and took it. It's just that the emperor really didn't get angry with anyone in advance this time, he wanted to test the loyalty of the courtiers, but as a result, if he didn't name him, no one would respond to him.

No one spoke in the court, the emperor's face became more and more gloomy with the silent atmosphere, the golden boy thought for a while, and when he saw that no one responded, he stood up: "The son is willing to share the worries of his father!" ”

He also gambled once, if his father had already had a predetermined candidate, he jumped out, and his father refuted him again, which made people see a joke, but he really needed a chance to show his talents, and he had been lying in the mediocre yamen of the ministry, how to let his father see his talent.

Fortunately, he won the gamble this time, and his father praised him for his feat of standing up for his father, appointed him as a patrol for the southern Qincha, and set off on the same day.

The golden boy is half happy and half worried, the opportunity is to get it, whether it is a blessing or a curse depends on his ability, he has no confidence in this trip, the salt administration is complex and sensitive, many officials in the DPRK and China are involved in a piece of the pie, it is he, and he also privately entered the private shares of the salt merchant, but this is not selling illegal salt, but he used his identity to facilitate the salt merchant to help him take more business slips, and the salt merchant made money and dividends to him, which is also the gray income of many officials in the DPRK, everyone tacitly understands it, and the emperor also turns a blind eye when he knows, After all, no matter how much salt these salt traders sell, they still have to pay heavy taxes to the imperial court, which is not an infringement on the interests of the imperial court, it can be said to be a win-win situation, the only loss is that the people who buy salt to eat, have to accept heavy profits, but they can't help but buy, firewood, rice, oil and salt which is not a necessity, ordinary people can cut firewood to grow grain and boil oil, only salt is firmly controlled by the imperial court, they must pay for it.

The emperor also knows that this adopted son is two catties, but he is willing to take over this matter, first of all, his courage is commendable, after all, he is his own family, if he does not look good, the emperor's face is dull, so the next court called him to go to the imperial study to speak, and showed him the private folds in the history of the salt patrol, so that he has a bottom in his heart, and also understands the pattern of Jiangnan, don't go to the two eyes and smear the black, roll up his sleeves and prepare to do a big job, just like when he went to Henan to track down the official silver, folded himself in.

The incident in Zhengzhou back then was the only stain on him for more than 20 years, and it was firmly sucked on him, so that now when people talk about him, they have to mention it as a joke from time to time.

Jin Tong used to stay in the criminal department for a while, learned to investigate cases, after the defeat of the Zhengzhou line, came back and served in the ministry until now, familiar with the faction of officials in the DPRK and China, there are still some abilities, the emperor is afraid that he is still insufficient, sent the household department Qian Shilang to go with him, if this time can not do the results, the emperor should also die to him.

After the golden boy came out of the imperial study, he went to the harem to ask the queen to say goodbye, and said goodbye, and did not enter the palace on the day he left, the queen asked him to be careful, the princess would take care of the trivial matters for him, so he didn't need to worry about it, she was busy taking care of her daughter's pregnancy too late.

The princess learned that her husband was about to go away, so she prepared a bag for him in the house, and after the golden boy returned home, she told him many times to analyze the situation in Jiangnan with him, who can move, who can't, which evidence should be folded openly, which evidence should be folded secretly, and which ones can not be folded by herself.

The golden boy sighed that the princess was virtuous, and he couldn't take her to Jiangnan with him, the princess chuckled and asked him to take Mr. Zhou, the golden boy thought about it, and said that he was afraid that something would happen if he was not in the mansion, so he still let Mr. Zhou stay in the mansion to assist the princess, and he took Mr. Xu to Jiangnan.

The princess was gentle, and the golden boy also told her to be more careful in Beijing, he wanted to succeed in one fell swoop, and the princess must be his solid backing and take care of things in Beijing for him.

"In case of trouble, discuss with your father-in-law and mother-in-law, or go to Prince Li's mansion to find Sister Ting, only these two can be relied on."

His mother's family declined, Jing'er and Jiang Ji were in Quanzhou, Jiang Jun went to Yancheng, and the friendship with the Zhenguo Mansion was zero.

After the golden boy set the itinerary to go to Jiangnan, the king of Dejun was so angry that he sneered, Yuwenqin did not enter the court, he would send the golden boy many opportunities, the king of Dejun was in the court, this morning he was also anxious to answer the call, and he had scruples in his heart, thinking that he would petition for his son, whether the emperor would agree, what if the emperor agreed, Yuwenqin was not competent, this salt transport case is not a good meal, in case the emperor did not agree, but asked him why he did not serve, what should he say, saying that he is old, should leave the opportunity to young people? Then he is suspected of favoring the children of his own family, there are so many young people in the court, why should he leave the opportunity to the children of your family who have not yet entered the court?

As a result, he hesitated, and was taken first by the golden boy, and then beat his chest, regretting that he did not make a decision at that time, and thought viciously in his heart, opening his mouth so wide, I don't know if I can eat it, be careful to choke to death.

Yu Wenqin knew that after the golden boy was ordered to go to Jiangnan to investigate the salt case, he was also a little annoyed that his father didn't help him win this errand, but it was not easy to blame, he asked his father if he could give him a career and let him enter the court, after all, he was already an adult, let his father fight for him in everything, he hid behind and tied his hands, he wanted to fight with the golden boy, first of all, he had to enter the court to fight with others, otherwise it looked like his father was fighting with the golden boy, what was the matter with him?

King Dejun had considered this matter earlier, a family could not have two people in the court, he had to give his son to enter the court, but his son was fledgling, and he was worried that his son would not follow after he became a son, then their family would be squeezed out of the center of the court. Originally, he hesitated a lot, but this time his son was a little resentful of him, and after thinking about it, this matter really had to be put on the agenda.
