PS: Ask for tickets, ask for recommended tickets, collect, please support a lot!
Tian Guifei left, and took a few little eunuchs to carry the female products rewarded by Chongzhen and left happily, especially when she heard Luo Yangxing kneeling on the ground and sweating profusely to introduce those objects and supplies, she was very happy, it turned out that there were such good things for women, she was so happy!
Why did Luo Yangxing kneel on the ground sweating profusely? Do you still need to ask, even if the Ming Dynasty is more open, it is not much more than modern, but you let a Jinyi Wei commander be the aunt towel commentator, and the customer is still the emperor's favorite concubine, to be honest, Luo Yangxing doesn't know if he will castrate him with a knife after introducing Chongzhen!
Fortunately, Chongzhen felt that there were too many eunuchs in the palace, and there was no need to add people, although he knew that this object was really immoral and could not be put on the table if he knew that this object was introduced by a Jinyi guard commander, but it was no problem, not to mention the entire palace, it was the entire Beijing City, and he knew the purpose!
Since ancient times, all the royal supplies have been checked by layers of the emperor and the imperial concubine, but this is what the Jinyi Wei command brought Chongzhen Xin, and Luo Yangxing swears that now all the ladies in Suzhou and Hangzhou are using the products of the Lu family, if there is something, there has already been news, not to mention that this goods is shy to say that his mother-in-law is also using it, of course, he has to say a high-sounding reason, that is, for the royal trial!
Chongzhen is not a plaything and a discouraged emperor, so he was only surprised for a while about the new things brought by Luo Yangxing, and after Tian Guifei left, he returned to the state of the monarch who was worried about the country and the people, standing by the window and watching the wandering rain outside, and Luo Yangxing had been lying on the ground and didn't dare to get up, even if his knees hurt to death, but he still had to endure it!
"You said that Lu Wang was just a teenager, and it was rumored that he was from Hengdian, but Jinyiwei did not find such a person, but he acted above board, even if he came to bribe court officials, he was above board. What he did was all for the benefit of the people, drought fighting, disaster relief, not to mention, and he also organized his family to go north to assist the officers and soldiers in suppressing bandits? Aiqing, what do you think is the purpose of this person? Chongzhen frowned and stood sideways in front of the window
"Back to the emperor, after careful investigation, this person made a fortune from Jinhua, and has his own shops in Jinhua and Hangzhou, and the main business is his family's self-produced and sold objects. It's just that the lowly person almost turned Hengdian upside down and didn't find any clues related to him, so his subordinates speculated that he might not be from Hengdian, and he pretended to be from Hengdian just to hide people's eyes, after all, the objects he brought...... The so-called sin of Huaibi ......," Luo Yangxing hurriedly explained
"Aiqing", Chongzhen interrupted him, "Now it's not about where he is from, but what kind of person he is?" You said that this person is generous, and there are thousands of people, and there is also a kind of repeating musket. Such a person ......" Chongzhen couldn't help frowning, he was suspicious by nature, and Lu Wang had any conditions for rebellion, he had to be suspicious!
"Your Majesty, please rest assured about this. Officials from Suzhou and Hangzhou jointly guaranteed that this person would definitely not oppose my Daming, but would be a Daming blessing star"! Luo Yangxing said
"That's because they all took money from Rwan, and of course they had to speak for him, and it was too late for the real thing to happen. It's late! Do you know? Joint guarantees, hum, what guarantees do they take? Do you dare to take the head on your head to protect it? Chongzhen suddenly shouted angrily. Frightened Luo Yangxing, fortunately, he had been by Chongzhen's side for a long time and knew that this person was used to being angry!
"The emperor is angry, the emperor is angry, nearly 40 officials in Suzhou and Hangzhou really want to use their heads to protect that Luwan will not rebel!" Luo Yangxing looked panicked, as for whether he was really panicked or fake panicked, he knew it himself, but he had to do it on the surface and maintain the imperial power!
Yes! Chongzhen was obviously shocked, "Take your head to protect it, where do they get their confidence?" ”
"They said that although they took Rwan's money, it was not a bribe, but that Rwann was busy on weekdays, and many things could not be handled in person, so they had to let them do it on their behalf, and the money was all needed for work, not all of it went to their personal pockets......
"Fooling around, what kind of system does a dignified court official have become to run errands for a businessman? And what does this have to do with the fact that Rwann will not rebel? Chongzhen interrupted Luo Yang's words and said
"Back to the emperor, every time the dynasties and dynasties are in turmoil, they want to take the opportunity to lay a foundation, at this time, whether they are heroes or thieves, everyone only cares about grabbing money, tuning grain, attacking the city and plundering the village, who will estimate the life and death of the people? And Lu Wang is just the opposite, pouring all his family property to help the imperial court build roads, fighting drought and disaster relief for the people, not to mention contributing money and efforts, but also helping the imperial court to suppress bandits, such a person as the emperor has never heard or seen, do you say that such a person will rebel? Luo Yangxing put his head on the ground, and he almost burst into tears when he said it so emotionally.
Chongzhen was silent, silent for a long time and did not speak, but stretched out his hand and slowly took out a pack of cigarettes from the dragon case in front of him and opened it and put it in his mouth, Wang Chengen quickly picked up the fire gas and helped him light it!
"Get up and speak! Luo Aiqing has what you said, and forty officials from Suzhou and Hangzhou jointly signed a letter to protect me for the time being, I believe that Lu Wang will not rebel, but I want to know how much money you received from the Lu family if you said so many good things for him? ”
"Huh? The emperor Mingjian, Wechen has been in the capital recently without going out, I have never seen Lu Wang and the Lu family, these things are all news collected by his subordinates, where did Wechen collect the Lu family's silver to say good things for him! Luo Yangxing had an expression of adulthood and I was wronged
"Hmph, the cashier doesn't have to meet, you're really stupid!" Chongzhen seemed to be in a good mood, and his tone became gentle when he spoke
"Your Majesty, you don't know Lu Wang, it is said that the Lu family has a lot of money and is generous, but except for what he wants to give you, it is difficult for you to want a penny, and others can't force it, and when Jinyiwei arrived in Hangzhou, it was reported that Lu Wang had already gone north to Shandong, so Weichen was really wronged, and he didn't take a penny of money from the Lu family!" Luo Yangxing is indeed telling the truth, he didn't take a single point from Lu Wang, but there are a lot of offerings from Suzhou Mansion, and in the end, these accounts will still be counted on Lu Wang!
Oh! Chongzhen nodded slightly, spit out a puff of cigarette, it felt good, it was cool and minty in the mouth, but he had no interest in how much silver Luo Yangxing took, "He only brought three hundred families to dare to go north, and it was along the canal, he was really bold, but I don't know if he is so lucky to reach Shandong safely!" ”
"Your Majesty, Weichen's subordinates said that they had found a news that before the departure of Luwang, they boasted that they would reach Jining within three days!"
"Three days? It's pure nonsense, he can't fly even if he has wings! Chongzhen couldn't help but pout, this kid seems to have more than some ability. It's pretty good at blowing, too, young people are like this!
Weichen also thinks so, but officials in Suzhou and Hangzhou think that Lu Wang has done it, saying that the Lu family has a kind of boat that can sail automatically without manpower and travel thousands of miles a day...... "Luo Yangxing began to snap his fingers again
Yes! Chongzhen finally stopped pouting, "This, Jinyiwei commanded Luo Yangxing to listen to my words, and ordered you to rush to Shandong to investigate the matter of Lu Wang." If you see him, he will enter Beijing! Remember the rain you encountered in Shandong, I want you to hurry up and send the latest news quickly! ”
"Weichen obeys the order", Luo Yangxing hurriedly kowtowed
"Well, by the way, the kind of car you said, and the boat can you get me to see, and the thousand-mile microphone you said......" Chongzhen suddenly muttered about this!
"Well, the emperor is a little difficult about this. It is said that this kind of thing is guarded very strictly by the Lu family, and it is not that there is no outflow of goods at all, so unless ...... "Luo Yangxing didn't finish speaking, he knew that Chongzhen understood what he meant!
"Forget it, don't do that just yet. After you meet him, talk to him about it if you can spend money to buy it, and you can spend it, uh, it's better if you don't spend money and he can send it", Chongzhen is very sensitive to money now. Very sensitive, it hurts your brain in advance!
It was night, and there were thunderstorms. The Yongding Gate, one of the outer seven gates of Beijing City, creaked open, and a mighty team of black-clothed cavalry rode out and went straight to the south, looking at their clothes, flying fish suits, embroidered spring knives, it was the Jinyi Guard!
And in the Daming Palace swaying in the wind and rain, Chongzhen has not fallen asleep, he is in a trance, looking at the thick photos in front of him, these photos are brought by Luo Yangxing, as for how he got the simple question of Lide shooting, there is no need to answer at all, because Chongzhen will not ask this stupid question, he is now looking at these photos, each one is very serious and distracted, these photos are the city gate of Hangzhou City, some are the city tower of Suzhou City, there is the beautiful scenery of West Lake, and there is a camp in Luwang, as well as his shop, there are pictures of buggies, there are sprayers, there are pumps...... Finally, there are photos of the prefect of Hangzhou, and even a group photo!
"Cheng'en, sometimes I feel like a prisoner, and I don't even feel like a prisoner", Chongzhen sighed, and involuntarily reached for a cigarette and put it in his mouth, a potential move that he didn't even notice himself.
"How can the emperor think so, you are the king of a country, the pride of the sky, and admired by all people, how can you compare with those lowly people", Wang Chengen said and straightened out the cloak that slipped off Chongzhen's body
"Hey, even you have begun to tease me, this kind of thing has to be heard countless times a day, true and false I know very well in my heart, what the pride of the sky, admired by thousands of people, but a poor person who can't even walk out of the palace gate, I haven't even seen what my own land and my own country looks like, if it weren't for these photos brought by Luo Yangxing today, I wouldn't even know what Hangzhou City looks like, let alone the novelty of the kid from the Lu family", Chongzhen looked self-deprecating.
Wang Chengen was speechless
"It's sad, the whole world is not the king's land, the things used by the king of a country are not as good as a group of lowly businessmen outside the palace, our palace still uses this smoky lantern, but what solar lanterns are the rich businessmen in Hangzhou are using, you are still lighting candles, people use flashlights, we are going to use toilets to raise people's use of this soft hand paper, saying that this paper is so soft that it is used to ...... Oh, it's a pity! ”
"Emperor, Emperor......" Wang Chengen didn't know what to say, originally he only felt that Chongzhen was extremely hard every day, but now when he said this, he felt that this emperor was so pitiful, as if he hugged him and comforted him!
This is not a basic feeling, but Wang Chengen really has this other emotion for Chongzhen, which is also a different kind of emotional sustenance, which is also the only confidant friend who accompanied Chongzhen when he hanged himself in the end.
Wang Chengen was born in poverty, and it is said that the eunuch who entered the palace was not a last resort because of poverty, and entered the palace from a little eunuch in the hands of Cao Huachun, and worked until the eunuch's pyramid, although it was not bloody, it was also full of all kinds of deceptions.
Maybe it's about the same as Chongzhen's background, Wang Chengen has been out of control since he was transferred to Chongzhen to work under Chongzhen, some people will say that how can a eunuch and a prince be almost the same, let's put it this way, Chongzhen's grandfather is a palace girl, his father is also a palace girl, he himself is also born to a palace girl with a low status, and his status is quite low, if it weren't for his father to be an emperor by luck, his brother just did a few years before he hiccuped, how could it not be his turn to be the emperor, So this baby has always had a very low self-esteem in her heart! This is very similar to Wang Chengen, didn't the historian say, throughout the Chongzhen Dynasty, no one has ever been loyal to him, and no one has been loyal to him, he is smart, but he is very inferior, and the verbal sentence is "Let's be slaves...... We lowly people......"
Chongzhen didn't dig out his heart to him once or twice, but this meeting really hurt him today, think about it, it's really pitiful that the emperor and the king of a country are locked up in a palace and can't move an inch, just like himself, he has a lot of power under ten thousand people, but he is not the same pity and irony as a man!
