"It is precisely because the price of coal is going to rise sharply that this matter cannot be discussed!"

At this time, Bi Ziyan, the secretary of the household department, because Zhu Changhao, the king of Rui, suddenly came to him and said that he wanted to ask the emperor Tianqi for a part of the shares of the Hanhai Coal Mine that belonged to the state treasury, and hoped that Bi Ziyan would not obstruct the ministry when the time came, and directly expressed his refusal.

Zhu Changhao was bored with himself.

He didn't expect Bi Ziyan to be so unkind.

Although Bi Ziyan, a greedy magnate and bureaucrat like Zhu Changhao, rejected his proposal, it did not mean that they would give up.

"Why did His Royal Highness bother to find him Bi Zichuan, now that Daming is Uncle Guo's final say, instead of looking for him Bi Zichuan, it is better to go to Uncle Guo."

And there are also scholars and Qingke who wander around the powerful families like Zhu Changhao, who will deliberately cater to the greed of powerful bureaucrats like Zhu Changhao, and put forward some suggestions on how to successfully accumulate wealth for the country.

At this time, Fan Wencheng, who joined Zhu Changhao with Liu Shiyuan, made a suggestion.

Liu Shiyuan also echoed and said: "What Brother Fan said is good! Your Royal Highness, it is better to ring the golden bell than to break the drum of three thousand, it is better to go directly to him Uncle Zhang Guo. ”

Zhu Changhao said with some fear: "How dare you go to him Uncle Zhang Guo." Even Bi Zichuan didn't give him lonely face, let alone his Uncle Zhang Guo? You must know that his Uncle Zhang Guo has even been washed in blood. ”

Fan Wencheng saw that Zhu Changhao didn't dare to provoke Zhang Gui, and he wanted to provoke the contradiction between the Ming magnates and bureaucrats and Zhang Gui, so he had no choice but to say:

"What the prince said is that it is naturally easy to touch Uncle Zhang Guo directly."

"In my humble opinion, it is better to let His Royal Highness's own mother, Concubine Zhou, go to the queen to intercede, and then find a way to persuade the princess of the country's family, and let the princess of Shang blow the pillow wind to the uncle, and I don't agree to this Uncle Zhang, after all, the relationship between Princess Shang and Uncle Zhang is said to have been very good."

"Here's a way!"

"Even if you can't try, you won't be dissatisfied with this Uncle Zhang, and you will end up decent."

Zhu Changhao immediately slapped the table and went to Xiyuan.

After knowing that her biological son Zhu Changhao begged her to persuade Shang Jinghui to let Zhang Gui make the decision, and agreed to allow the emperor to give Zhu Changhao some of the shares of Hanhai Coal Mine allocated to the treasury, she agreed without thinking about it.

Because for Concubine Zhou, Zhu Changhao is her only son; What's more, she was able to become a concubine from a concubine of Emperor Zhu Yijun of Shenzong, and now she has become a concubine, all because Zhu Changhao brought her the opportunity to be expensive for her mother and son.

Therefore, Concubine Zhou also came to the queen's vicinity every day these days to try to see Shang Jinghui.

It turned out that because Zhang Gui was the younger brother of Queen Zhang Yan, Zhang Yan would often summon her younger sister Shang Jinghui into the palace to spend time with her.

After all, both of them like to read, and they can be regarded as having a common language.

In addition, Zhu Youxiao, the emperor, is now almost completely obsessed with scientific and technological research, which makes Empress Zhang Yan's life very monotonous and lonely, and she needs Shang Jinghui to accompany her even more.

Shang Jinghui was also summoned by Queen Zhang Yan on this day as usual and came to the queen.

It's just that what Shang Jinghui and Queen Zhang Yan didn't expect was that not long after Shang Jinghui came to Zhang Yan, Concubine Zhou actually came to the queen.

Although since Concubine Liu and Concubine Li were forcibly suppressed for interfering in the affairs of foreign dynasties and suppressing the authority of the queen, and even the Hakka family was given death, the concubines in the palace did not dare to offend the queen by virtue of their age.

But because Queen Zhang Yan has always been kind, some concubines will often come to Zhang Yan to chat, and Queen Zhang Yan will not treat her coldly, quite graceful and generous.

Therefore, today Concubine Zhou came to Queen Zhang Yan again, Queen Zhang Yan was still not angry, and even teased people, but invited her to sit down and let her chat with the invited ladies.

Because Concubine Zhou came with a purpose, after chatting with the ladies such as concubines, princesses, princesses, and edicts present, she found an opportunity to chat with Shang Jinghui, and mentioned the matter of Hanhai Coal Mine, and said:

"Now His Majesty's uncle is the most children of King Rui, and the family is the most poor, good sister, they all say that you are a living Bodhisattva, so you can't bear to look at the dignified nobles and nobles until now, and you are still not decent?"

Shang Jinghui was a little puzzled, so he smiled and said: "Concubine, why do you say this in front of me, I am just a woman, how can I manage this royal matter?" ”

"Although you can't control it, as we all know, my Ming Zhu family's home is now in the presence of the King of Dongping!"

"Can't you tell your Royal Highness about King Rui and ask him to agree to give the share of the shares of Hanhai Coal Mine that belongs to the treasury to King Rui's family?"

"You're just moving your mouth, but you're saving my son and the rest of the family!"

As she spoke, Concubine Zhou took Shang Jinghui's hand and said, "Count me begging you?" Good sister! ”

"Don't say that! I can't open it. This is a matter of the foreign court, where is it that I, a woman, dare to intervene? ”

"Besides, once I make an exception for you today, then if Concubine Li comes to ask for King Hui and King Gui tomorrow, won't I have to agree again?"

"Manga, Your Highness will not obey me, even if he obeys me, where will the little shares belonging to the treasury be enough? I'm afraid that people in the world will have to say that we, the powerful families, have harmed the world. ”

Shang Jinghui directly rejected Concubine Zhou's request and walked directly to the queen's side.

Empress Zhang Yan also saw some clues and asked, "What did the concubine tell you just now?" ”

Shang Jinghui told Zhang Yan the truth about the matter.

After hearing this, Zhang Yan's willow eyebrows rose, and then when Concubine Zhou also came over, she said with a smile: "If the concubine wants to ask for something for King Rui, she just tells the palace, why bother to find Princess Shang." ”

Concubine Zhou sneered and said, "I'm just chatting for a while, since Princess Shang is unwilling, it's nothing." ”

Zhang Yan didn't say anything more when she saw this.

But Concubine Zhou was naturally disappointed by this.

She didn't expect Shang Jinghui to be so faceless.

On this day, Shang Jinghui was invited by Zhu Xuanyuan, the princess of Shouning, to come to her princess's mansion as a guest to discuss poetry.

This was just an ordinary activity among the upper-class ladies of the Ming Dynasty.

However, as soon as Shang Jinghui arrived at the annex where Princess Shouning lived, he was blocked by the princess's housekeeper Liang Annu.

"I was summoned by the princess, why did you stop me?"

Shang Jinghui also asked about Liang Annu because of this.

Liang Annu sneered after Shang Jinghui asked: "What about the princess's call?" Even if the horse master is summoned to see the princess, it depends on whether it is suitable or not! ”

"I've already given the money."

Shang Jinghui replied.

She did give a benefit fee, and she also knew that the housekeeper around Princess Daming had such a rule here, if she didn't give the benefit fee of the gift silver, she would not be allowed to see the princess, so she also carried the silver at any time.

"Not enough!"

It turned out that this Liang Annu was a palace maid who was related to Concubine Zhou, and now being a housekeeper by Princess Shouning's side was also begged by Concubine Zhou to Zheng Guifu back then.

Shang Jinghui couldn't help asking, "How much?" ”

"Five thousand taels!"
