Chapter 43: Factions

"Governor Feng wants to open a restaurant with this king and join this king on the grounds of his noble body?"

Feeling King Yong's aggressive gaze, even if it was late autumn, Feng Rui was already sweating profusely.

"Xia Guan doesn't mean that, this Wang Mansion Restaurant is the property of Ren Gonggong, and it has nothing to do with the king, how can Xia Guan use this as an excuse to participate in the prince."

Zhu Houwei smiled and said, "So, if this restaurant is the king's, Governor Feng will have to participate?"

Feng Rui really wanted to be tough, after all, the entire civil official group was his backer!

But he couldn't get up, because King Yong is now the first noble of the Ming Dynasty, far from being comparable to ordinary vassal kings, King Yong?

It's not certain to participate, and in the end it's certain that he is unlucky, this kind of thankless thing, how can he do it if he is not stupid, the reason why he said that just now is completely because of face, if he knew that King Yong had made a wall ear, he would not say half a word if he beat him.

"Business, cheap business." Zhu Houwei shook his head and said: "Businessmen seek profit and do everything they can, so they are full of copper stench, how can a benevolent gentleman do it?" But what about the facts?

Hui merchants are powerful, control the lifeblood of southern commerce, and the northern Jin merchants do not hesitate to resell countless military materials to the grassland in order to make money, and finally these grassland barbarians took the knives and guns that our Ming merchants sold to them and came to the border pass, so Lord Feng, may I ask why these merchants are so bold and reckless, who is the backstage for them to prop up this umbrella! ”

Feng Rui took out a handkerchief and wiped his sweat.

"It is the grace of the court that the dynasty does not collect heavy taxes, and collecting taxes is to compete with the people for profit, which is a good property, and what if the king is good for money? Did this king plunder the people or run rampant? It's just that, these nonsense is useless to talk too much to an idle king like this king, even if this king is engaged in business, it is just to pass the leisure time, it is difficult to achieve it You have to be trapped in the Yongwang Mansion to eat and wait for death, and the princes in the court can feel at ease! ”

Feng Rui was no longer in a cold sweat, and King Yong was undoubtedly sending a signal by saying these words, showing his strong dissatisfaction with the lords in the court who were staring at him with bloody eyes!

"What do you think of the drama in the restaurant?"

"Novel, very different from Kunqu opera and Hui tune, the singing tone is refreshing." Feng Rui hurriedly responded.

Zhu Houwei laughed and said: "There are many novelties in folk tales, and this king will discuss with the staff in the palace in his spare time, and finally draw up some books to be sung on the stage, after the performance of "The Legend of the White Snake", it is time for "Liang Zhu" to take the stage, if you have leisure in the future, you can come and listen to it."

"Definitely, definitely."

Zhu Houwei left the box, and the three Huzhou officials breathed a sigh of relief.

Obviously, Tongzhi Lin Zhi is dissatisfied with the new prefect Feng Rui, and this dissatisfaction may not be because Feng Rui parachuted into Huzhou prefect.

In the officialdom, the civil and official forces are intertwined, and the bigwigs in the court and the central government have their own circles, and the people in the circles may be fellow villagers, the same year, or the doormen, so old.

For example, there are several bigwigs in the cabinet today, Liu Jian has Liu Jian's circle, Li Dongyang also has Li Dongyang's circle, if Liu Jian and Li Dongyang have a good relationship, it will naturally be nothing, but what if the relationship between the two is poor?

The relationship between the two bigwigs is poor, if there are different views, it may still be a gentleman's dispute, but once it develops to what you think is right, then I must say that it is wrong.

Needless to say, the Tang Dynasty went into decline after the Niu Li party struggle, and the Ming Dynasty reached the Chongzhen period, and the party struggle between Donglin and non-Donglin became the catalyst for the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

Lin Zhi is unhappy with Feng Rui and wants to dig a hole for him, it is very likely that it is due to different factions, and their backstage relationship is not harmonious at best, and incompatible at worst.

But no matter what, they are all part of the civil official group, and they are a whole with common interests, even if this whole is scattered internally, once they face relatives, nobles, eunuchs and even the royal family, they will be monolithic!

However, in the face of a vassal king of the level of King Yong, it is not enough to rely on a few prefecture officials, so Feng Rui and the others can only be suppressed to the death, no matter what Zhu Houwei says, they can only listen.

The restaurant renovated a table for the box, and also served three catties of eternal grain liquid, but it is a pity that no matter how beautiful the wine is, it tastes no at all at this time......

The new prefect Feng Rui took office and started a smooth and stable governance in Huzhou, if you put it in a more ugly way, it is the beginning of inaction.

In a blink of an eye, it is the early summer of Zhengde May.

The midsummer sky is supposed to be as strong as fire, but today it is a biting cold wind, and even if you stand in the sun, you can feel the chill to the bone.

"It's a bit of an anomaly."

In the backyard of the palace, Zhou Yujie, who was nineteen years old, stood beside Zhu Houwei like a budding flower and bone, and the sad eyes like inviting you to pick it, anyone who saw it couldn't help but feel pity.

"There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, people have good and bad luck, who can tell the things of God." Zhu Houwei shook his head.

"The slave family has heard the story of Dou E, it is said that when Dou E was unjustly killed, he made three wishes before leaving the court, and later fulfilled them one by one, so is June Feishuang's wish somewhat similar to today?"

Zhu Houwei laughed and said: "That's just a tune made up by Guan Hanqing, which represents a kind of wish, he hopes that there will be no injustices in the world, but there are too many grievances in this world to count, if every unjust death is one, there will be a three-year drought, this land of Shenzhou has already starved all over the wilderness, and the people are not happy."

Zhou Yujie raised her beautiful eyes and looked at Zhu Houwei, she knew that reason was like this, but he was inevitably too calm, calm and seemed to be a little cold-blooded, not like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy at all.

It's really not like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, who is not a man of blood, but King Yong has taken himself into the palace, and it has been three years now, and in the past three years, he has often talked about poetry and painting with himself, and he will sing a lot of strange tunes, but he has never touched her......

Zhou Yujie didn't dare to say that she had the appearance of a country and a city, but she was also full of confidence in her appearance, she was such a beautiful woman in his backyard, how could King Yong bear not to attack herself.

She is nominally a side concubine, but she has not been canonized by the imperial court, the side concubine of the vassal king will definitely get to the bottom and find out the origin, she was born in the Qinglou, how could the court agree to her to become the side concubine of the Yongwang.

And Zhou Yujie heard that the daughter of the original Zhejiang political envoy Pei Daren also seems to be in love with King Yong, and King Yongwang has also made a promise, but the girl named Pei Jia is almost ten years old now, so what's going on now?
