Chapter Ninety-Four: Empress Dowager Liu Asks for Guilt
"Chen Zheng seconded the proposal! The abolition of Chongning Daqian will definitely benefit all the people and make the official family immeasurable! ”
Zheng Juzhong directly used 'merit' as a weapon, and planned to abolish Cai Jing's 'small bank'.
"Chen Mei seconded the proposal!"
"Minister Li Gang seconded!"
“……”
The courtiers were dissatisfied with Cai Jing's malicious move of 'making it easier to prince', and they were immediately excited and echoed one after another.
Cai Jing glanced behind him, his face was suddenly full of depression, and he directly hated Jiang Chen half to death.
……
When Cai Jing was madly cursing Jiang Chen in his heart, Jiang Chen was in the temporary office of the Royal Chamber of Commerce (Jiaofang Si Nan Building) to be a teacher.
Early this morning, the holy decree of Pan Shishan, the shopkeeper of Pan, to find out his background and appoint his third brother Pan Shifeng as the inspection envoy of the left capital arrived, and then the Pan family, Zhu Qu, Cheng Chengjin and Zhou Pingchao happily sent their sons and nephews over.
Jiang Chen did not break his promise, and after a relationship, he taught them immortal numbers (Arabic numerals) and double-entry bookkeeping, intending to directly eliminate the corruption of the Royal Chamber of Commerce from the root.
The orthodox church was vigorous, and someone suddenly came to the palace to summon it, saying that the queen and saint were invited.
Jiang Chen thought about what the queen said that she was also the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce, and it was also the right thing to help Song Huizong inquire about the Chamber of Commerce, so he entered the palace in a carriage.
Unexpectedly, after turning left and right, he was led to Chong'en Palace.
……
Inside the Chong'en Palace!
After Jiang Chen was introduced into the inner hall, he saw a very luxurious, gorgeous and boundless beautiful woman sitting on the upper seat, except for a few maids and eunuchs, there was only a handsome official in his early forties who wore the clothes of a third-rank official.
Immediately stunned!
Who is this beautiful woman?
What did you bring me here?
Could it be Liang Shicheng or Cai Jing who wants to harm me?
Jiang Chen's heart immediately woke up, and he saluted the beautiful woman respectfully: "I've seen this nobleman!" I wonder where the Queen Sage is now? ”
As soon as the words fell, a fat white eunuch with triangular eyes immediately scolded: "What noble? This is the queen mother of the dynasty, and she doesn't pay a lot of respects! ”
Empress dowager?
Empress Yuanfu, the first beauty in the harem during Song Zhezong's time? Song Huizong's sister-in-law? Today's Queen Mother of Chong'en Palace?
Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, and saluted again: "Weichen meets the Queen Mother!" Just now, the internal official said that the queen summoned ......"
"That's where you heard it wrong! The person who summoned you here is obviously the Queen Mother! ”
The triangular-eyed eunuch didn't smile at his face, and as he spoke, he introduced the handsome three-grade master to Jiang Chen;
"This is Lord Liu Yan, and as for our family, it is your cousin's godfather He Xin, we are still relatives, hehehe!"
Relatives?
Is this dead eunuch taking advantage of me?
Jiang Chen's eyelids jumped, and after meeting Liu Yan and He Xin, he asked the Empress Dowager Liu, "I don't know why the Empress Dowager summoned Weichen?" ”
He knew that this Empress Dowager Liu wanted to emulate the Empress Dowager Xiang to control the government, and repeatedly blocked Song Huizong to find trouble, and finally forced Song Huizong to have no choice, so he directly found someone to pretend to be a ghost and scared him alive and hanged himself.
So he directly put on a respectful but distant attitude!
Seeing this, Empress Dowager Liu frowned in displeasure and glanced at He Xin.
He Xin immediately smiled at Jiang Chen:
"The Queen Mother heard that the Royal Jimin Chamber of Commerce was set up for the benefit of all people, and when the officials feasted the ministers that day, many ministers participated in it, and promised their people to be the heads of the wine and salt processing factories in the states.
The Queen Mother also intends to do something for the people of the world and accumulate some merits, I don't know what Lord Jiang thinks? ”
"The Queen Mother's heart is for all the people, which is the blessing of the world!"
When Jiang Chen heard this, he immediately understood the other party's intentions.
After complimenting him, he politely refused: "If the Queen Mother wants to participate in this matter, she can directly talk to the official family and the queen saint!" Wechen has no interference to stop the truth! ”
"There is no need for labor officials and queen saints for such trivial matters, right?
Who doesn't know, the official family and the queen are just a name, and even Li Yan is only responsible for border affairs, isn't everything in the Royal Chamber of Commerce up to Chairman Jiang having the final say? ”
Liu Yan smiled on his face, and directly took out a map as he spoke, pointing to a few of them:
"Jiangnan East and West Roads and Jinghu South Road are adjacent to our Liu family's ancestral land, and the Queen Mother intends to let our Liu family take full charge of the Royal Chamber of Commerce's wine and salt processing factories in these three places, presumably Chairman Jiang will not disobey the Queen Mother's will, right?"
Well?
There are a total of fifteen roads in the whole Song Dynasty, and you want the richest three roads in one mouth?
Jiang Chen was stunned by their appetite.
secretly said in her heart: Empress Dowager Liu is bent on competing for power with Song Huizong, and Song Huizong will definitely not promise her such a great benefit.
That's why they wanted to force me to agree to this matter first, so as not to give Song Huizong a reason to refuse?
But in this case, what will Song Huizong think of me?
Will I still have a mix in the future?
Hum!
It's just whimsical and takes me for a fool!
Jiang Chen sneered in his heart, and flatly refused: "The lower officials really can't call the shots in this matter!" After the queen mother discussed with the official family, she would summon Weichen here!
Wechen retires! ”
With that, Jiang Chen raised his feet and left.
"Humph! I don't know how to lift! ”
Liu Yan patted the table angrily and stood up.
He Xin stopped Jiang Chen with a cold face, narrowed his triangular eyes and threatened: "Master Jiang, I heard that the official family went to the Teaching Workshop Division yesterday and received your hospitality?"
As an official of the imperial court, you seduced prostitutes, do you know what crime you have committed? ”
