Chapter Ninety-Six: The Emperor Summons

Hao Fenglou felt that he had been fooled, and in the past ten days, there had been no movement at all in the Beizhen Mansion Division, and the position of the thousands of households in Dongcheng was still hanging, and the deputy thousand households promised before had not moved until now.

In the past ten days, many things have happened in the entire Jinyi Guard, Cheng Wen of thousands of households in Dongcheng was investigated, and he was beaten to death in Nanzhen Fusi, and the commanders, Tongzhi, servants, and people who pacified the people have been petitioned, in addition, Dongcheng's salary and silver have also been distributed, of course, the vast majority of this silver is from Hao Fenglou's 'sponsorship'.

Hao Fenglou has always felt that he is a kind person, at least he didn't let Ji Gang and the others make a note, and he took out the silver so happily because he was always easy to believe in others.

It's just that now, the silent behavior of the North Town Mansion Division makes people feel a little annoyed.

Of course, Hao Fenglou also knows that this may be Ji Gang's 'revenge', he made things too big, on the surface, it seems to be a 'righteous indignation', but the purpose behind it can't deceive Ji Gang, and any Shangguan doesn't want his subordinates to be too sharp, and they get into trouble every once in a while, so it is very likely that the Beizhen Mansion Division is taking the opportunity to beat himself.

If you follow this line of thinking, I am afraid that there may not be an appointment after the year, but the position of a thousand households in Dongcheng has touched the hearts of many people, Hao Fenglou received the news that many people have begun to work in the Beizhen Mansion Division, that is, Zhu Jian, the deputy thousand households in Dongcheng, and it seems that there are also people who want to go to a higher place, but Zhu Jiantuo's favor is Liu Zhenfu of the Beizhen Mansion, and Hao Fenglou is not optimistic about him.

The days passed calmly, and the city of Nanjing was unprecedentedly snowy, snowflakes like sand fell, falling on the dead trees and roofs, and ice cubes with the thickness of little fingers hung on the eaves, and they fell to the ground suddenly.

There is very little snow in the south, and when it comes to such weather, it adds a lot of excitement, Xiao Xiangxiang is a little bigger than before, and seems to have something on her mind, and she is not jumping in the snow, but supporting her cheeks, looking like a thinker, looking at the snow scene in a daze with big eyes.

The Hao family has been preparing for the New Year's goods in recent days, so it is inevitable to send someone to Songjiang to buy some special products, which is specially used to usher in the send-off, which is also one of the benefits of outsiders, and there is no need to worry about gifts. Songjiang's brocade was famous all over the world at this time, the price was high, and it was also one of the necessary items designated by the Hao family for gifts, so now in the warehouse, this brocade is piled up.

The Lu family has already pinched the date, and wants to let Hao Fenglou pay homage before the New Year, the post has already been sent, and the Lu family didn't say anything, but replied to the message, saying that they wanted Hao Fenglou to move around in the past.

Everything seems to be quite good, except that Hao Fenglou's identity has not been determined.

Early this morning, after Hao Fenglou washed up, he was about to leave for Donghua Gate, but at this time, a disciple came in a hurry: "Young master, a father-in-law came outside, saying that it was Bixia's message, please enter the palace to meet you." ”

Hao Fenglou sent a large sum of silver into the palace, solving the urgent need in the palace, this matter is Hao Fenglou's mentor Yao Guangxiao, originally Hao Fenglou did not expect the Son of Heaven to summon him, after all, it is the end of the year, and the Son of Heaven is also a good day, who has time to summon you a small hundred households.

Therefore, Hao Fenglou was a little surprised, but said very calmly: "Got it, go prepare the carriage." ”

Anxious to rush to the noon gate, outside the noon gate there was a eunuch wearing a big red shirt and a fluffy cloak waiting, he put his hands in the sleeves, his whole body was tightly covered, and when he saw Hao Fenglou, he was very reluctant to stretch out the hand in the sleeve, and stepped forward and said: "Hao Baihu, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come to harm." ”

Hao Fenglou recognized it as the Three Treasures, and couldn't help but be speechless, this treatment was grand, and even the Three Treasures eunuchs came to greet him. hurriedly smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, my father-in-law is really polite......"

Sanbao suddenly showed embarrassment, and finally said: "Please Hao Baihu enter the palace, our family is ordered to wait for His Royal Highness King Ning here." ”

Hao Fenglou realized that he would be wrong, it turned out that people were not here to entertain him. With a dry laugh, there was a self-inflicted tragedy, so he nodded, and another eunuch led him into the palace.

Chengde hall is as warm as spring, although there is no earth dragon here, but there are three or four copper basins piled up, the basin is full of tribute coal sent by Jiangxi, the coal is not smoke, but with a smell of agarwood.

Zhu Di sat on a chair, as if he had just finished the dynasty, so he was still wearing a crown robe, but the jade belt was torn open, and the whole person sat on a brocade pier with a large gap, holding the coal in the copper basin with fire tongs.

Hao Fenglou went in and hurriedly saluted, before he could say that clichΓ©, Zhu Di glanced at him and said in a loud voice: "Don't say those, how about it, I heard that you have been prosperous recently and have done a lot of things." ”

Hao Fenglou said with a dry smile: "Bixia is to do great things, where does Weichen dare to be." ”

Zhu Di looked down at the charcoal fire, stirred it with fire tongs, and did not look up, and said: "It's snowing, it's rare to get snow, when I was in Beiping, it was going to snow heavily as soon as it was winter, and in the desert, the snow was a few feet thick, and I hated snow at that time, and it was inconvenient to ride a horse in the snow, and the sword was a lot more brittle." But when I came here, I missed the snow, and this snow is a good thing. It's a pity that the snow is good snow, but it's too petty, it's like peeing, intermittently, and my heart is twisted. ”

When Zhu Di said this, he raised his head: "Sit down, just sit next to me, come, put a stool on him." ”

The eunuch moved a brocade pier to the copper basin, Hao Fenglou sat down, only a few feet away from Zhu Di, he smelled a little wine, and then looked at Zhu Di's face, sure enough, there was a little red, presumably he had eaten wine.

Zhu Di said: "I and you just want to tell you that a big husband can't be a small family when he does things. ”

Hao Fenglou said: "Yes." ”

Zhu Di's eyes were staring at the charcoal fire, and there seemed to be flames jumping in the depths of his pupils, and he said: "Your money can be regarded as saving the emergency, but I am embarrassed for you." ”

Hao Fenglou hurriedly shook his head: "Don't be embarrassed, don't be embarrassed." Serving Bixia is a sea of swords and fires, and Weichen is also willing. "I can't help but sigh in my heart, I will go up and down and seek. Fang Cai blushed slightly, it seemed that he was not proficient enough.

Zhu Di pursed his lips and smiled, and suddenly pointed to a newspaper on the side, and said, "You can see it when you look at it." ”

Hao Fenglou was puzzled, picked up a few newspapers, and then his eyes fell on a newspaper: "Jiang Tian, the imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, said: It is natural for the household department to gather wealth, but after investigation, it was found that there have been many violations recently, and some household officials, in the name of gathering wealth, extorted merchants everywhere and ordered them to contribute money. On this ground, Jurong County wantonly embezzled property, the gentry and the common people, and everyone was in danger......"

After Hao Fenglou saw it, he glanced at Zhu Di in amazement, and suddenly realized that he had really been cheated.

This report looks very prosaic, but when you think about it deeply, it is the household department that is impeached on the surface, but in fact it is the prince who is impeached, because the prince has been in charge of finance recently, ostensibly saying that the household department is blackmailing merchants in this name, and even allowing local officials to harass the people, but in fact it is to criticize the prince for amassing too much money. Does a small imperial envoy of the Imperial Court dare to criticize the crown prince? And even if he criticizes the prince, it will never be published in the Di newspaper, the only possibility is that this is instigated by someone behind his back, deliberately done, and the person who can do such a thing, with this energy, can only be Zhu Di.

In other words, Zhu Di is taking this opportunity to beat the prince. As for the considerations behind the beating of the prince, although Hao Fenglou did not know, he knew that he had suffered an unwarranted disaster.

Originally, Zhu Di asked the prince to do it, in other words, the prince worked so hard to get money, in fact, it was all to please Zhu Di, but now, he was inexplicably beaten up, does the prince dare to be dissatisfied with his father? Of course he didn't dare, but he would definitely anger others in this matter, and Hao Fenglou was a good target for anger, for the ...... Hao Fenglou also collected money, but the means of collecting money were much more civilized than the prince, and the prince spent a lot of effort to make a fuss, but the result was not as good as a brocade and a hundred households, which aroused Zhu Di's dissatisfaction.

If there is no such thing as Hao Fenglou, the prince's behavior would be impeccable, but he killed a Hao Fenglou, and the prince was unlucky.
