Chapter 131: Words and Merchants (Finale)

"The three proprietors represent this king, and this king will never treat you badly, not only so that each of you can also reap huge profits, but also give you status!"

Cui Kangtai and the three of them looked at each other, the businessman was rich but had a low status, not only in the Ming Dynasty, but in the past dynasties, to be honest, if you get used to it, you will get used to it, at least they have never had the idea of changing.

Moreover, the merchants have silver, their lives can not be brocade clothes but jade food, and the status of the households is second only to the scholars, but so what, they are not full of food and clothing, and they are ruined in the event of a disaster.

What about low status, as long as they can deal with officialdom well, who dares to squint at them!

"When the imperial brother returns to the court, this king should ask the imperial brother to let the three of you become the Ming Emperor and give the three officials the right not to kneel!"

There was a thunderclap in the flat, and the three of them almost didn't blow up.

Imperial Merchant!

A merchant representing the royal family! Merchants in the service of the royal family!

God is pitiful, how many benefits are hidden in this is unimaginable, with this identity, who dares to embarrass them in the officialdom, they used to use their hard-earned silver to make a little bit up and down, and in the future, they will make a fart!

Zhu Houwei seems to have expected that the three of them would be in a daze by the town, this gift package is too big, it seems to be unbelievably big, but if he wants to earn a huge amount of wealth in the business road to carry out a series of actions, he must make these businessmen loyal to him!

The former is profit, the latter is grace, and the combination of favor and benefit will not be defeated in a hundred battles!

"Go out of the palace, and the king's people will take you to Tongzhou." Zhu Houwei didn't want to continue, what he explained today was enough for the three of them to digest it once.

"The grass people are retiring."

"The grass people are retiring."

The three of them retreated, and when they arrived at the door ......of the imperial study, Cui Kangtai turned around and said: "Lord Wang, last time you asked the grass people in Hangzhou to investigate the evidence of Zhao Xingzhou's crimes, the grass people have already verified several cases, and all of them are crimes of homicide!"

Zhu Houwei was slightly stunned, to be honest, he was about to forget about this shit and wanted to take Sister Yu as his own......

It's not that he has no heart and lungs, and he can easily let go of the scum who covets his own woman, but because he is too busy.

After returning from Hangzhou, he went to the capital for a few days, and after staying in the capital for less than two months, he sat in the position of prisoner, and then he was dizzy after a series of actions, where could he think of such a trivial matter.

It is indeed a trivial matter, because for him now, pinching Zhao Xingzhou to death is not as laborious as stepping on an ant.

Cui Kangtai collected the evidence of the crime from his arms and respectfully handed it to Ren Xing, and when he saw that King Yong didn't say anything, he confessed his guilt and withdrew.

There were only a few pieces of paper for the incriminating evidence, and Zhu Houwei looked at it casually, and he had already clenched his fists, and even showed green tendons on his forehead.

"Master, it's so angry." Ren Xing saw Zhu Houwei's anger and said cautiously: "If the master thinks that this Zhao Xingzhou should die, the slave will arrange for someone to kill this thief!"

This is familiar, it seems that Ren Xing also said this when Zhu Houwei wanted to clean up Chang Zhengyang, this is a pure slave who can no longer be pure, everything is based on the master's sorrow and happiness, as long as he can make the master happy and angry, he doesn't care if his hands will be covered with blood.

This is also the reason why the emperor is a close eunuch, Zhu Houwei is not Zhu Youzhen, as soon as he took the position, he cleaned up the chief eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor and the imperial horse supervisor, and finally killed Wei Zhongxian, who could temporarily balance the Donglin Party, his right-hand man was gone, and there was no other way to go except to be fooled into a fool by the civil officials.

"The sins are monstrous, and it is difficult to write about them, not only that they deserve to die, but that it is difficult to atone for their sins." Zhu Houwei snorted coldly: "But his head will remain on his neck for some time, he is a big salt merchant, involved in the salt administration, for the sake of the overall situation, he can't move lightly, and he can't attract a group of sharks that smell blood just because he killed this thief, and ruin the king's plan."

Ren Xing said no more.

"What about Zhang Yong?" Speaking of Zhao Xingzhou, Zhu Houwei suddenly remembered that this guy seemed to be involved with Zhang Yong.

Because of Liu Jin, Zhu Houwei knows a lot about Zhang Yong, and this guy can definitely be regarded as an alternative legend among the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty.

You must know that in the Ming Dynasty, the eunuchs of the inner court and the officials of the outer court are mortal enemies, and they can definitely be regarded as the existence of the common sky, but there is no way, the emperor needs to use eunuchs to check and balance the outer courts, so it is absolutely impossible for the eunuchs to be completely killed......

The reason why Zhang Yong is different is entirely because after this guy died, he was called a 'righteous eunuch' by civil officials, and Yang Yiqing, a generation of famous ministers, also wrote an epitaph for him......

This is definitely not just in the battle to bring down Liu Jin, the two formed a deep revolutionary friendship, but Zhang Yong is really very bullish.

This guy controlled the 12th regiment battalion and led the Shenji battalion in the Zhengde Dynasty, took charge of all the affairs of the Qing Palace, quelled the rebellion of King Anhua, and united with the foreign dynasty to kill Liu Jin in one fell swoop......

Of course, Zhang Yong's ability to do all this is inseparable from the trust of Emperor Zhengde, they are all from the East Palace, Zhu Houzhao's trust in Zhang Yong is not lower than Liu Jin, so Zhang Yongneng and Liu Jin, who was in power, were hard to shake, but they were still able to be unscathed!

But the most bullish eunuchs in the Zhengde Dynasty were actually not Liu Jin and Zhang Yong, but Li Rong.

Because the eunuch who really brought up Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Houwei since childhood was Li Rong, Liu Jin and Zhang Yong were just playmates at best.

Zhu Houwei didn't say it, but at least Zhu Houzhao treated Li Rong as a relative, so Liu Jin dared to fight with Zhang Yong in front of the emperor, but he only had a small part in the face of Li Rong.

It's just that Li Rong was almost eighty years old when Zhu Houzhao succeeded to the throne, where is he interested in competing for power and profit with his juniors, this is one of the reasons why Liu Jin dared to be unscrupulous after becoming bigger.

Li Rong passed away last month, and Zhu Houwei also sent Zhang Yong and Ren Xing to preside over the funeral, which can be regarded as a return for his affection for taking care of himself when he was a child.

Zhang Yong's luck is good, because he ran into Zhu Houwei, otherwise he was finally kicked out of the palace by Zhu Houzhao this year because of Qiu Ju, one of the Eight Tigers, but Zhu Houwei knew what kind of goods the Eight Tigers were, and who among the eight people was good and who was not bad, so this time Qiu Ju complained to Zhu Houwei and got a different result.

Zhang Yong was safe and sound, and Qiu Ju was sent to guard the Tailing Tomb......

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, even more so in the inner court, but Zhu Houwei did not promote personal eunuchs such as Ren Xing and Hong Ji, and almost retained the original team of the Zhengde Dynasty.

The reason for this is that he does not want to send the wrong signal to the outside world that he wants to usurp the throne.

What Zhu Houwei wants is a justifiable Zen concession, and he wants Confucian officials to take the initiative to ask him for the throne of God, and then ask for Confucianism's life!
