Chapter 62: Su Mansion Affairs
Ming Chenhao looked at the background where he left, and his brows furrowed a little tighter. glanced at the Miss Su Mansion "Su Qingmo" who had been supported by the two attendants.
With a wave of his hand, a guard behind him secretly followed the two attendants and left.
Zuo Xiang, who received the news, suddenly sat down in a chair in the study.
Sure enough, as he expected, the teacher who left the country came for his little niece.
It's just that he has also seen that little niece, and he really can't figure it out, so with the special appearance of his niece, how did he get into the heart of the departing teacher with eyes on his head.
He looked at the henchman in front of him, and confirmed again in disbelief: "The National Teacher said that he was coming to Su Mansion in the evening, are you sure you heard it right?"
The henchman hung his head and did not answer.
He knew that Zuo Xiang's heart must be very uncalm at the moment, but the national teacher's words were said in front of everyone, and it was difficult for him to hear it wrong.
Seeing him like this, Su Ming sighed: "That's it, I know the true appearance, you can go back quickly." ”
As soon as the people were gone, he sat down and began to write the letter, and in a few breaths he put it down and put it in a black envelope, which was sealed with a special wax oil.
He had to get someone to send the news to his eldest brother as soon as possible.
The temperament of the person who left the national teacher, he has also figured out a lot in the past few years. As long as he can make a move, whether it is a person or a thing, he has never failed.
Now it seems that the fate of his little niece is in danger......
After doing all this, he raised his hand and knocked on his aching forehead, got up and went to the East Courtyard of Su Mansion.
In this eastern courtyard, all the people who live in it are the side branches of the Su family.
One thing, Father-in-law Su did not guess wrong, the woman who ran for election today under the name of Su Qingmo was the youngest granddaughter of the sixth master of the East Courtyard of Su Mansion, the sixth master was the same generation as Su Ming, and it can also be said that she was Su Ming's granddaughter.
I heard that the granddaughter was carried out of the palace by the people in the palace today, it can be seen that she was not lightly frightened, after all, she was doing things for herself, if Su Ming didn't go to appease her, she couldn't say it.
The east courtyard is very large, and there are a lot of courtyards scattered in large and small areas, which shows that this side branch has done enough work in terms of the reproduction of offspring.
Since Su Ming sat on the throne of the head of the family, in order to increase the number of Su heirs, he listed a family rule.
[As long as a new life comes to the family, regardless of men and women, when they receive ancestral dividends at the end of the year, they can receive an additional reward. 】
Su Ming's family has a wife and two concubines, and has three boys and one daughter, all of whom are grandchildren.
It can be seen that the two concubines did not play the function of opening up branches and leaves for him, or in other words, he did not plan to let the two concubines give birth to children.
Since ancient times, disputes between concubines have been too common. If it weren't for the eldest brother who gave birth to a few concubines who grew up with them back then, I'm afraid the current Su Mansion would not have been able to keep it so clean.
It's just that he thought that his eldest brother was paving the way for himself, but who knew that he would run away from home after doing this, but left him the position of head of the family.
At that time, he was thinking, if there was no birth of those concubines, would the eldest brother not leave this family.
Now his three sons, since birth, he has been cultivated with what they caught when they were children. Since childhood, they have begun to instill a concept that they should respect their lives, cherish their lives, and believe in their lives!
When the boss Su Linzi grabbed Zhou, he grabbed a handful of golden abacus. Now in business, one-third of the restaurants in the capital are in his hands.
When the second Su Linxiu caught Zhou, he was holding a ginseng, and with the help of the third child, he is now engaged in the medicinal materials business, and two-thirds of the medicinal materials in the medicinal herb shops in the capital are in his hands.
Only the third child, Su Linyu, only grabbed a thick copy of the laws of the Celestial Dynasty when he caught Zhou, but fortunately, he has now embarked on the road of official career.
Now he is serving as the minister of the government in Jingli City, at the junction of the capital, and is in charge of a city.
In the past two years, the city of Jingli has been well governed, the economy is prosperous, and Yan Ran has developed into a city where medicinal materials are exchanged. I heard that the medicinal materials in that city not only lead to the entire Celestial Empire cities, but even merchants from the realm go there to purchase them.
Every year, the Jingli City he was in charge of alone added a tax equivalent to one-third of the entire Celestial Empire to the imperial court.
In view of his outstanding political achievements, the emperor gave him three orders to transfer him to the court as a lawsuit.
The emperor is highly valued, and there is a father who is a member of the court, and almost everyone can predict how bright the future career of this young man in his twenties will be.
Now he wants to become an official in the court, and it is just a matter of his own nod.
However, Su Linyu did not accept the order to enter the court as everyone expected, at least he didn't want to now, so he refused.
The father and son were officials in the same dynasty, and it was not without examples in the previous dynasty, but Ming Chenhao gave three orders in succession and was stunned that he was not called back, he was a little angry, and felt that his imperial prestige was discriminated against.
When I was in the last court, I vaguely reminded Zuo Xiang in front of all the officials in the court, which probably means that I want to transfer him back because I can afford your son, and you ask your son not to be too ignorant.
But the left minister replied directly: After Su Fu Yin became married, he had already proposed to separate from the prime minister, and now what should he do, even if the prime minister is his father, he has no right to influence his thoughts.
Because this day also happened to be the day of Liqing's dynasty, Mingchenhao stopped the topic when he saw Liqing's smiling expression.
After Su Linyu heard the news here, he wrote a secret decree and handed it to Ming Chenhao's bookcase.
Its content is: he feels that only in Jingli City can he give full play to his strengths, if he returns to the capital to become an official, it is tantamount to extinguishing his specialty, if the emperor insists on transferring back to the capital, then he might as well resign and go home, this official does not do.
Yes, I wanted to threaten him, but in the end I was threatened by him.
Mingchen Hao really wanted to resign his official directly, but Su Linyu did it reliably, and almost at the same time that Mingchen Hao was about to issue an edict to approve his resignation, his next secret edict came in.
He didn't write any of this secret letter, and all the thick booklets inside were the autographs of the big medicinal herb merchants in Jingli City and the merchants of neighboring countries.
Looking at these lists, Ming Chenhao still had a sneer on his face, thinking that he could revoke the will of the last hundred schools?
But when the last five rows of the booklet were printed in his eyes, the smile on his face froze.
The typesetting reads: Su Fu Yin is here, we are here. If Su Fu Yin is no longer an official in Jingli City, then we will withdraw all our properties from Jingli City. Please think twice!
People said that it was so obvious, did Mingchen Hao still laugh? That's not just a city, that city is responsible for one-third of the tax revenue of the Celestial Empire, if those merchants leave, it means that this spoiled income will be gone.
As the emperor of a country, no matter from which angle you think about it, you will not allow him to be so willful.
The only thing he was glad about was that Su Linyu handed him a secret decree, and if it was a fold, it would have to pass through the hands of the following ministers before it could be handed to him.
It's just a secret decree that saves the emperor's face, and also relieves him of the prestige of the order.
And on the third day after this incident, after Su Linyu did not receive the news from the emperor, he immediately asked people to press a large number of official silver that was exclusive to Jingli City to pay taxes and fill it into the treasury.
After Mingchen Hao learned about it, the unhappiness in his heart dissipated immediately. Although the taboo still exists, he has never given Su Linyu any orders.
This is Su Linyu, a person who can control people's hearts so exquisitely.
On the night of Su Ming's marriage, he held a meeting of the whole clan and announced that Su Linyu would take over the position of the future head of the Su Mansion. Su Linyu saw that the eldest brother Su Linzi and the second brother Su Linxiu had no opinions, so they did not postpone and responded directly.
It's just that he then said in public: As a member of the Su family, whether it is a descendant or a side branch, he must be low-key when he acts outside, and if he finds anyone outside who is acting as a tiger with the reputation of Su Mansion, there is no reason to directly strip off the surname Su and expel him from Su Mansion.
This is tantamount to directly tying up the hands and feet of those lazy people in the East Courtyard.
As soon as Su Ming stepped into the East Courtyard, a sharp-eyed little man ran to inform the second master in charge of affairs in the East Courtyard.
Su Ming didn't walk for a while, and then he saw the second old man Su Yi walking towards him.
Su Yi is a few years older than Su Ming, but the whole person looks like he is older than Su Ming, and he walks tremblingly.
"Fourth brother, come here. ”
Su Ming hurriedly went over to help him: "Sixth brother, I'm just here to see the kid who entered the palace today." Why did he come out to greet him? ”
Su Yi shook his head and raised his feet to lead the way in front: "It's okay, although my old bones are not as strong as yours, I can still walk these few steps." ”
"The child is the youngest daughter of the fourth family, and her father is not angry, and he has nothing to do outside all day, only knows how to drink and have fun. When I came back, I was unhappy and beat them up. I'm old, and I can't control them, one by one really worries my heart. Speaking of this, Su Yi stopped and held Su Ming's hand, and said with some excitement: "Fourth brother, I know that you don't want to meddle in my affairs." But Xiao Duo's child is a good child, but these are hurt by her unspeakable father, I'm still alive, but I can protect her, but now I'm old, I have survived today, and I don't know if I can survive tomorrow. If I die, her unfilial father will sell her. Sixth brother begs you, you can take that girl out of this east courtyard for sixth brother, okay?"
"This ......" Su Ming looked embarrassed. As early as when he sat on the throne of the head of the family, he had already said that except for the same surname, the east courtyard and the west courtyard have nothing to do with each other.
This sixth brother is now letting him meddle in the affairs of the East Courtyard, isn't this letting him slap himself in the mouth?
Su Yi was about to kneel down for him: "Sixth brother doesn't ask you to treat her, you just take her out of this eastern courtyard, let her get out of here, and when she reaches her age in two years, just find her an honest family to marry." Just beg you, Sixth Brother, okay?"
Su Ming hurriedly helped him, looking at the sixth brother's face was not very good, it was estimated that he really didn't have much to do, and when he heard him say this, he nodded in response: "Okay then." ”
