Chapter 897: Surface Scenery
100,000 taels, the price is not low.
But Zhu Hao knew that Su Xigui was just a bid to help Huang Zan with his official position, and then Su Xigui wanted to defect to him, with him as his backer, and the price was more than 100,000 taels.
Now that the construction of trains has reached a critical time, the dispatch of silver is the most urgent, and now the autumn grain is confiscated, and the imperial court has no extra silver to fill this hole, and for the sake of the emperor's face, the imperial court cannot be asked to build trains and repair the railway.
100,000 taels can solve a lot of trouble, especially the cost of trains and railways in this era is not so high, the level of engineering science and technology in the Ming Dynasty is not much worse than the Qing Dynasty hundreds of years later, it is not difficult to repair rails on flat roads, the key is to overcome the problem of tunnel and bridge construction in the middle.
"My letter, give it to the owner of the Su and tell him to just wait for the news before the end of the year."
Zhu Hao's meaning is also very clear.
Since Huang Zan agreed, then I won't talk nonsense, and I said that I would vacate the position of the elder pavilion before the end of the year, so I would take this time as the standard.
When Shangshu is simple, it is not easy to enter the cabinet, and the biggest problem is to wait for Jiang Mian and Mao Ji to retreat from the court.
……
……
Zhu Hao is still investigating the case of the Zhang brothers who bent the law for bribes.
The imperial court sent a "special envoy" to supervise Zhu Hao, who was Tang Yin.
Tang Yin's task is not to investigate the case, but to supervise Zhu Hao, who is in charge of investigating the case.
After not having to supervise the construction of the railway, Tang Yin's spirit looked much better.
In Tang Yin's own words, his previous poor health was caused by fatigue.
「…… Respectfully, investigate the case, you have to take Shouning Hou and Jianchang Hou to open the knife, I won't stop you, just be careful, the forces behind your relatives are not simple, no matter what Empress Dowager Zhang says, she is also the most noble person in the country, and it is easy to deal with you."
Tang Yin said that he was here to supervise Zhu Hao, just to find an opportunity to talk to Zhu Hao.
Recently, relatives related to Tang Yin have come to Beijing from Jiangnan one after another, and even Tang Yin's younger brother and daughter have come, and Tang Yin has been enjoying family fun recently.
It was his most glorious time, at this time he no longer cared about being used by Zhu Hao, although he was unfortunate for half of his life, but in the end he was still successful in his later years, although it was only a review of the Hanlin Academy, but this is equivalent to being admitted to the Jinshi, and was selected as a Shujishi, or after three years of examination, he achieved today's achievements as a person, he was content.
As for going further, when he was a waiter in the Hanlin Academy, a waiter, a lecturer, or even a waiter, a scholar, or a cabinet elder, he no longer had such a big pursuit.
Zhu Hao said: "Mr. reminded me that when I went out recently, I took three or five people behind me, and there were dozens of people behind me, and the security cost was very high, and I couldn't afford it."
"Cut!"
Tang Yin glanced at Zhu Hao.
Now Zhu Hao is the actual prime minister.
Without Yang Tinghe's constraints, relying on Jiang Mian alone, it is difficult to compare with Zhu Hao, and recently Zhu Hao is in the capital, and he doesn't have to go to the yamen to work, so that recently the emperor handed over all the things he could to Zhu Hao.
The affairs of the DPRK and China, including the review of the songs, are all decided by Zhu Hao.
In the past, he still picked the key points, but now he simply sent them together, Tang Yin didn't come to help, only Zhang Zuo helped, and Zhu Hao can now deal with court affairs day and night, and he doesn't have to go to Hanlin Academy to pretend during the day as before.
"Sir, you don't seem to be too favored by Jingde recently, isn't there anything bad about it? Or is it your relationship...... Something went wrong?"
Zhu Hao didn't talk to Tang Yin about official business, but was very concerned about Tang Yin's emotional problems.
Tang Yin glanced at Zhu Hao: "What does this have to do with you?"
Zhu Hao had a wicked smile on his face.
The two of you are still my achievement, but now it seems that Lou Suzhen doesn't like to deal with Tang Yin very much.
Maybe Lou Suzhen saw that in the matter of being an official, Tang Yin couldn't be supported at all
Dou, and Lou Suzhen went to Yongping Mansion, became a master, and when she returned to the capital, she also wanted to develop in her career, although Lou Suzhen herself didn't know what she could do.
It seems that only being a staff member is the most suitable, but it seems that it can only be given to Zhu Hao.
As for being a guest of Tang Yin?
Even if Tang Yin is willing to use it, Lou Suzhen still refuses to condescend to his dignity, what is the use of following an old guy who does not seek progress?
"If Mr. is in good health, go to the Hanlin Courtyard more, now Jiang Ge Lao and Mao Ge Lao are still here, you may not have a big way out in the Hanlin Academy, but sooner or later you will come out. In fact, no matter whether you enter the cabinet or not, as long as you are there, you can become the focus of attention, so that there will be one more force in the Hanlin Academy, which is a scene that His Majesty wants to see."
Zhu Hao pointed out Tang Yin.
Tang Yin said: "Okay, okay, let's talk about Shouning Hou and Jianchang Hou, how are you going to end it?" But I'll tell you, I'm not responsible for anything, and it's best not to mention any plans you have with me, because I'm a cover, and it's the same with me without me."
Tang Yin was ordered to supervise Zhu Hao, but in fact, he wanted to be a bystander watching the fire from the other side, and he didn't want to help, so it would be good if he didn't dismantle the stage.
Zhu Hao said with a smile: "The matter of their brothers, don't bother Mr. Tang, now they are reporting each other themselves, and the case is confirmed, so they will be exiled to the northwest and let them go to mix up military merits."
Tang Yin said, "That's right...... The people from the Marquis of Jianchang Mansion recently came to me and told me that they wanted to use my relationship to intercede with His Majesty. It may be that the Marquis of Jianchang has been to the northwest with me, and there was cooperation in the battle of Juyongguan."
"That's a good thing."
Zhu Hao said, "This shows that Mr. Tang, you have been taken seriously."
Tang Yin glared at Zhu Hao angrily again: "I just want to be an idler, it's best not to pull anything on me, as for what to add officials to the knighthood, that's your young people's business, don't always arrange it for me, you don't need it!"
"Sir is too careful, I want to fight for my own future, where is there so much time to think about my husband's future? It is important to nourish your body...... Oh yes sir, how is the family lately? Would you like to give you some silver?" Zhu Hao asked.
Tang Yin's eyes widened when he heard this, and he nodded repeatedly: "The silver is still needed, if you have it, send more of it, I'm embarrassed to ask you for it."
Now Tang Yin is more "social".
Relatives and friends know that he is developed, and they all want to come to run, and Tang Yin is a generous person, others who come to defect basically take all the orders, and they need to spend money to support too many people at once, and they need to spend money everywhere, and Tang Yin only has an official position reviewed by the Hanlin Academy, how much can he earn in total?
At this time, Tang Yin still had to rely on Zhu Hao's "help" in order to maintain his superficial scenery.
……
……
The three-day deadline will soon pass.
Before Zhu Hao reported to the police, he went to the Fusi Yamen in Jinyi Weibei Town again, and this time he not only brought Xu Jie, but even Tang Yin called him together.
The matter of Xu Jie's return to his hometown has been completely decided, and this time he was afraid that he would drag out the problem again, so he directly decided to end the case...... The next day he returned to his hometown, so that he would not be used as a gun again.
However, before leaving, Xu Jie felt very honored to be able to meet Tang Yin again.
After the party arrived at Beizhen Fusi, Xu Jie was already timid and afraid, so he took the opportunity to lean towards Tang Yin, and Tang Yin didn't like the gloomy atmosphere of Beizhen Fusi, so he talked to Xu Jie, a little friend.
The old and young seem very cordial, and those who don't know really think that they have been friends for many years.
This time, the one who came to receive Zhu Hao became the Beizhen Fusi and the Zhenfu envoy Luo An.
There is another thing recently, that is, Zhu Chen may be about to retire, and Luo An has the opportunity to succeed the position of the commander of the Jinyi Guard.
After all, Zhu Chen is not a young Zhuang faction, and the Luo family is in the Xingwang Mansion, his father Luo Sheng is the same generation as Zhu Chen, and Luo An already belongs to the representative of the second generation, although Luo An himself is not young, adhering to the tradition of Jinyiwei, the emperor is ready to give Zhu Chen a position as the governor of the five armies, so that Zhu Chen will retire with honor.
You can't let Zhu Chen work in this position for the rest of his life.
In Jinyiwei, the second-in-command is Luo An, and below are Chen Yin and Wang Zuo
, Lu Song, the backbone of the Wangfu Honor and Guard Division when the Wangfu was rejuvenated.
Although it is now known that Luo An is very likely to inherit Zhu Chen's position, there is still controversy about who will be the envoy of Beizhen Fusi, and others feel that although Lu Song's status in the palace is not as good as Chen Yin and Wang Zuo, he is a leader in several pawns, and Lu Song's wife Mrs. Fan has been appreciated by the Empress Dowager Jiang, and Lu Song has also made contributions when he opened the mine, plus Lu Song has a close relationship with Zhu Hao......
There are all kinds of indications that Lu Song is likely to be promoted exceptionally and become the second-in-command of Jinyi Wei.
This matter seems to have something to do with Zhu Hao, but Zhu Hao has not been involved from beginning to end, and the people of Jinyiwei are embarrassed to talk to Zhu Hao directly, and now all parties are waiting for the result, after all, Zhu Chen has not retreated, and the matter has not been completely settled.
Everything has to wait for the emperor's decision.
"Zhu Langzhong, according to the previous order, the Marquis of Shouning and the Marquis of Jianchang are ready to arrange to return to the house to live, you just need to report the case truthfully, how to investigate, it will be decided by the court, you only need to sort out the case, and you are not responsible for the follow-up matters."
As soon as Luo An came, he made a diplomatic rhetorical command to Zhu Hao in front of Zhu Hao in a public statement.
Tang Yin next to him asked, "Isn't this case concluded by the Criminal Department?" Isn't this Zhu Langzhong representing the Yamen of the Criminal Department?"
Because the palace did not send a messenger this time, that is, the Empress Dowager Zhang's eyeliner was missing, and it seemed that everyone who came over had a lot of relief on their faces.
Xu Jie looked at Tang Yin with puzzled eyes, thinking, this Tang family actually took the initiative to help Zhu Jingdao speak?
Luo An said: "It's all according to the order."
Every sentence of his speech does not deviate from the "upper order", which probably means that a small criminal department is still suspended, so don't take yourself too seriously.
Zhu Hao said with a smile: "There is only one last day left on the errand in the Criminal Department, so it is better to invite Shouning Hou and Jianchang Hou to have a meal together, and we will talk about it at the dinner table if there is something."
Next to him, a scribe from the Criminal Department reminded, "Isn't this appropriate?"
Luo An said: "Since Zhu Lang has this proposal, let people arrange it below."
