Chapter 192: The Emperor's Heart is Unfathomable
In the Dongnuan Pavilion, Jiajing's body is hot and dry, so although it is the autumn breeze, there are still ice basins everywhere in this pavilion, and the slightest cold air brings refreshment to Jiajing, but it also makes the eunuchs who are waiting in it stand up their hairs.
Fortunately, Huang Jin didn't care, he served Jiajing when he was in Anlu, and he was already used to such a temperature, so his face was as usual, and he carefully fiddled with the wick of the oil lamp in the warm pavilion, and said: "That Zhang Zhenfu naturally refused, so he clashed with Xu Qian, Xu Qian, this guy is really bold, Zhang Zhen tugged at his clothes, he said that this was a tribute, so angry that Zhang Zhenfu was angry, and went to chase him again, Majesty guess what, what did Xu Qian take out?" ”
Jiajing stood with his hands in his hands, silent. Huang Jin originally wanted to sell a pass, but who knew that it was boring, so he hurriedly said: "Xu Qian actually took out the secret decree that His Majesty gave him, and he shouted, this is a holy decree, but because he almost fell for Xu Qian before, Zhang Zhenfu not only did not stop moving, but grabbed the holy decree and threw it on the ground, and stepped on it fiercely......"
Speaking of this, Huang Jin couldn't help but dance with his eyebrows, although this is just a trivial matter, and even a little nonsense, but this kind of thing is more twisted and exciting than the drama.
When he said this, Jiajing couldn't help but smile, revealing a deep expression, and scolded lightly: "It's really nonsense." Isn't that Zhang Zhenfu even scared to death? ”
Huang Jin was still a little apprehensive when he heard the word nonsense, but when he saw Jiajing's words asked easily, he finally put his heart down, and then said: "Yes, Zhang Zhen smoothed the Su Gongwei Noon Gate, the shelf is very big, and everyone is bullish when he sees it, and he doesn't put ordinary people in his eyes at all, but this time he has lost half of his three souls and six spirits, his face is white, and he begged for mercy vigorously, if he didn't care about a little decency, I'm afraid that he would have already knelt down and cried bitterly, it's really funny, this Zhang Zhenfu was bold when he first provoked trouble, As a result, begging for mercy was also very neat. Your Majesty, no matter what you say, this person has committed a crime by destroying the holy decree, isn't it ......?"
Jiajing squinted his eyes and said, "Isn't it what?" ”
Huang Jin looked at his face cautiously and said, "Do you want the factory guard to punish him?" ”
Although it is only said to be punished, but when it comes to factory guards, as long as people go to the edict, it is by no means so simple to be punished, and in general, at least a few layers of skin must be taken off.
Jiajing couldn't help laughing, and said: "You will go later, and ruthlessly apply for him on my behalf, asking him that as a pro-army, I entrusted him with the forbidden place of the palace, and trusted him, but he colluded with Shangguan to engage in favoritism?" Ask him again, his father Zeng Ke Nanchang made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, why did he come to him so unscrupulously? I wanted to punish him, but I thought of his ignorance, and for his father's sake, this time spare him once, let him continue to guard the noon gate, if there is such an act again, then the two crimes will be punished together, and they will be severely punished. ”
After that, Jiajing said again: "This person, I have some impressions, although he is not small, but he is usually loyal to his duties, since he scared him this time, he will definitely be more cautious next time." ”
Huang Jin was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said yes.
Jiajing smiled slightly, and asked again: "How is the queen mother?" ”
Huang Jin hurriedly told the matter of the gift, and when he heard the gift from Xie Zhao, instead of being happy, Jiajing had a gloomy face, and said, "Is the Xie family so rich?" The treasures that can't be found in the palace, but their family can take them out lightly, it seems that they have not only spent a lot of effort, but also this family is also very rich. ”
Huang Jin followed: "Actually, the Xie family is not really rich in Beijing. ”
"Oh?" Jiajing couldn't help but be interested, and said: "I thought otherwise, the two gifts he gave were worth 10,000 gold, which is not considered rich?" ”
Huang Jin suddenly thought of something, but he didn't dare to speak, hesitated for a while, and then quietly hinted: "Your Majesty, don't forget the merchants of Chun'an, even the merchants who are thousands of miles away, let alone the ...... under the feet of the Son of Heaven."
Jiajing suddenly realized, his face fell, a single merchant has a fortune of millions, at the foot of this Son of Heaven, even if the Xie family has 100,000 family fortunes, I am afraid that it is just a small fish and shrimp. Thinking of this, Jiajing was a little angry, you must know that as the emperor, the money in the inner treasury is still beyond his means, but those courtiers below are all very rich, if it is just like this, it is fine, but the problem is that these rich people are often full of benevolence, morality, and loyalty.
Jiajing may not hate real villains, but what he really hates is those hypocrites, although when he was in Anlu, he was in awe of these people, and when a certain Qingke talked about a certain duke, he often had a reverent tone, which also made Jiajing have a great impression of these people since he was a child, but when he entered Beijing, he suddenly found that these so-called so-and-so dukes were completely different from what others said, and this feeling of betrayal made Jiajing very uncomfortable.
Jiajing's heart was complicated at this time, his eyes were even more uncertain, sometimes a trace of murderous intent flashed, sometimes gentle, his temperament was already two-sided, suspicious and moody, he suddenly glanced at Huang Jin deeply, and said, "You have a lot of wealth, right?" ”
Hearing this, Huang Jin's face turned pale with fright, this emperor's thinking was too jumpy, first from the Xie family to the merchants, and now he actually asked his head, Huang Jin hurriedly lay on the ground, and said: "The slave and maid are favored by His Majesty and entrusted with important tasks, there are people inside and outside the palace, and the family wealth has also saved some ......."
Jiajing smiled slightly, raised his hand and said, "Get up, I don't mean to blame, how can there be a cat that doesn't steal fishy?" This is excusable, and since you are willing to admit it honestly, I will not blame you. ”
Fang Cai was still full of murderous intentions, and then it was like a spring breeze, and in an instant, Jiajing changed two faces, one was frightening, and the other was gratitude after being scared.
Jiajing put his hands behind his back and suddenly asked, "What about Yang Ting and Mr. Yang, how much wealth does he have?" ”
Huang Jin's heart was already in his throat, of course he knew that this question was not simple, he didn't dare to answer, for fear that the wall had ears, if he said a little wrong, it would be murderous next, but he had to answer, silent for a moment, he raised his eyes slightly, but saw Jiajing looking at himself with a smile, like a cat teasing a mouse, waiting for his answer.
Huang Jin gritted his teeth and said: "Every year, Bing Jing, Tan Jing, the Yang family is a good city!" ”
The so-called carbon respect means that whenever winter comes, officials from all over the country pay tribute to their backers in the name of purchasing heating charcoal for Beijing officials. And the so-called "Bing Jing" is the arrival of summer, and there is a famous hall for Beijing officials to cool down the heat, and once again offer gifts and filial piety, in fact, "Bing Jing" and "Tan Jing" are another name for bribery in summer and winter. However, the words "money" and "wealth" are not mentioned, without the slightest copper smell, and they are considerate and nuanced, which is convincing. This is the rule of officialdom, three festivals and two birthdays, a certain lack of compensation, "ice respect", "charcoal respect" must be given gifts, but not on the table,
This very simple sentence does not involve details, but it is enough for Jiajing.
Jiajing sneered, but there was a chill on his fair and young face. He then gentle, stretched his waist, and said slowly: "I know, it turns out that the poorest person at the feet of this Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven, and the richest is the gentleman. He suddenly remembered something and said, "What about Xu Qian, how is Xu Qian's family assets?" ”
This guy is actually endless, but Huang Jin suddenly found that he knew something about this emperor, this emperor had been betrayed too much, but he was a master who was more serious about everything, and his mind was terrifying, such a person, found that those people who had always admired betrayed him one by one, one by one, they were playing all kinds of tricks in his eyes, and it was difficult to really believe in a person if it was who would be the emperor.
Huang Jindao: "The Xu family has some small wealth, which is enough to spend. ”
Jiajing sighed and said, "Xu Qian...... I believe that if he wants to be rich in the world, it is not difficult to ......"
After a long sigh, he said, "Where did we just go?" Yes, are you talking about Xie Zhao's gift? So what's next? ”
Huang Jin then continued to talk like a river, and said every move on the side of Baoxianglou, he had already arranged for a eunuch to watch over there and spread the report at any time, plus he was eloquent, and he was eloquent to say, especially when it came to Xu Qian's gift, Jiajing's eyes lit up, and said: "Although no one knows what is written in that newspaper, I can guess that this newspaper must have an article about the queen mother's relatives, this Xu Qian...... Haha......" Jiajing laughed heartily and said: "He is not only bold, but also really has some ability, he can grasp people's hearts to this point, even I am not as good as him, the queen mother must be ecstatic when she sees this gift, isn't it?" ”
Huang Jin saw that the emperor was happy, and he also became happy, and said, "Isn't it? Niangniang was overjoyed, and said that she wanted to be a matchmaker for Xu Qian. ”
Jiajing shook his head and smiled bitterly after hearing this, and said, "This ...... Is it done? ”
Huang Jin shook his head, and told the Empress Dowager Zhang about it, Jiajing's face was slightly stunned, and then said: "Empress Dowager Zhang is a smart person, I underestimated her, she can have this mind and courage, no wonder she can dominate the harem of the Three Dynasties, such a good family matter, why didn't Xu Qian agree?" Ay...... He was too cautious, didn't he know that Empress Dowager Zhang was just using this to express her attitude to me? He should have agreed to this business. ”
Jiajing shook his head again and again, looking a little regretful.
