Chapter 17: You saved our Ming Dynasty

When he arrived outside the Heavenly Gate of Inheritance, Wang Xiangyao asked the sedan chair to stop, "My lord, the emperor has ordered, in the future, the adults and the people brought by the adults will live in the North Post House first, and our family will send someone to take them over first." ”

Wang Jinlong still wants to find an inn to live in the capital, I heard that Emperor Chongzhen has arranged for them to live in the North Post House, so he guessed that the people who raided the house must have got a lot of silver, otherwise, no matter how good the emperor is, it is impossible to personally arrange a place for them to live, so where is the North Post House? It's nice to hear the name, "Okay, you can arrange it." ”

Wang Xiangyao then asked someone to take Li Xiaoshan and them to the North Post House.

I heard that they were going to the North Post House, Li Xiashan and Zhao really didn't know what was going on, so they hurriedly got off the horse and asked Wang Jinlong, this is all at the gate of the palace, don't the second masters take them in for a walk? The second boss is now a big official?

This palace is so beautiful! I've never seen such a nice house, I rub, no wonder the emperor has to live in this place?

"You guys live in the North Post House first, let me tell you two, if you need to ask the post officer directly, no one is allowed to go out to scare around, do you hear?"

"I heard it, I heard it." Li Xiaoshan and Zhao Shi hurriedly answered.

"Go ahead!" , Wang Jinlong is really afraid that these people will go out to wander around and cause trouble, this special Shanxi clichΓ©, at first glance, it is from other places, there are many nobles in the capital, don't run into anyone's dog's legs.

In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youzhen was so excited that he didn't know what to do, and he didn't look at the twists and turns piled up on the imperial case, he raised his head and looked at the tall palace roof, with a happy look on his face, obviously thinking about what he wanted to do in the future, obviously because he had money, he felt that it was not difficult to do anything.

Seeing Wang Jinlong come in, Zhu Youzhen said without waiting for Wang Jinlong to salute: "Wang Aiqing is exempt from courtesy, and there is no need to make a big salute when he comes in the future." ”

Hearing Zhu Youzhen say this, Wang Jinlong still bowed down and bowed with both hands.

"Your Majesty, you haven't rested for a day or night, why don't you sleep more?"

"Huh! Wang Chengen, that old minion called me up."

After Zhu Youzhen finished speaking, he waved his hand to Zhang Yin at the door, "Let's all go out, the palace door is closed." ”

Zhang Yin immediately went out with his subordinates who were standing at the door and waiting, he just couldn't understand, why didn't the emperor let others be by his side as soon as he saw this guy? Needless to say, it must be a secret matter, but he is extremely puzzled, what is the origin of this young man who wears dirtier than garbage Xiucai clothes? Why are you so close to the emperor? hasn't kowtowed yet, and the emperor said that there is no need to make a big salute in the future? Isn't it strange that this has never been the case?

"Aiqing! Do you know how much silver you got back? ”

Wang Jinlong saw the smile on Zhu Youzhen's face and guessed that it must be indispensable, otherwise Zhu Youzhen would not be so happy.

"I don't know."

"Haha! It has been shipped back four times, one trip is 600,000 taels, and it is already 2.4 million taels, Wang Chengen said that this is still the beginning, and in the end I don't know how many taels of silver can be made, and there are many foreign gold coins. ”

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor!"

Wang Jinlong was also surprised, he judged that these returns must be very rich according to the situation of multinational companies in later generations, and they were all for international negotiations? I didn't expect it to be so much.

"Aiqing! , you said that we now want money and money, and we want people, so don't you want to make a big deal? It's all thanks to you! ”

"Your Majesty, you have won the award, but the minister just came up with a bad idea from the emperor."

"Hey! If you say that, I don't like to hear it, what is a bad idea? The best idea in the world. ”

Wang Jinlong smiled, "Your Majesty, there are still many ways for ministers to get money, you can rest assured and use it boldly, with money, we will do a big job, first do it down, let him stay in Liaodong honestly and wait for us to go over and spank his ass, and then, press Li Zicheng to the ground and rub it, rub it hard, and then, clean up Zhang Xianzhong, press Zhang Xianzhong's face on the ground and rub it, turn around, let's go to Liaodong to ride a horse and hunt." ”

Zhu Youzhen laughed, "Aiqing, what you said is so good, what you said is what I thought in my heart, and you are too good at saying it, this word friction is used well!" Right! In the future, let's go to Liaodong to ride horses and shoot hunting! Hahahaha! ”

Wang Jinlong also laughed, "Your Majesty, this day will come soon, and when the time comes, you need someone to lead the army to fight, and the ministers volunteer." ”

"Good! Good! But I can't bear to take the risk! ”

"Hey! Your Majesty, you are wrong, manly, husband, do not make contributions on the battlefield, and go in vain in the world, who said that, why don't men take Wu Hook and collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures, please go to Lingyun Pavilion temporarily, if you are a scholar Wanhu Hou? ”

"Tang Dynasty, Li He! Li He! Hahahaha! I look forward to Aiqing's meritorious achievements, and the future of the king and marquis, it is all my words. ”

Of course, Wang Jinlong knew that it was the fifth of the thirteen songs of the South Garden made by Li He in the Tang Dynasty, and this special primary school students in later generations would memorize it.

"Your Majesty, the minister still said the same thing, people can't just think about what they get, they should think about what they did, so that they won't regret it when they get old. There is a person who said that the most precious thing in man is life, and life is only once for each person. A man's life should be spent in such a way that when he recalls the past, he will not regret that he wasted his time, nor will he be ashamed of his inaction, but at the end of his life he will be able to say: "My whole life and all my energies have been devoted to the most magnificent cause in the world." ”

Wang Jinlong won't say anything later, fighting for the liberation of mankind, this special Emperor Chongzhen knows a fart, and he doesn't have that kind of consciousness.

"Well said! Well said! Aiqing, you said it well! It's really nice to talk to Aiqing, let's go! After the two of us went, we would take a look at the inner library and see the silver that Aiqing got back for me. ”

Now Zhu Youzhen is extremely excited.

"Good!" Wang Jinlong wanted to see how the palace was at this time, after all, what he saw was left by the rat's tail at that time, and history records that the palace was on fire several times, and the rat's tail was rebuilt several times.

As soon as he walked to Kunning Palace, he met Queen Zhou Yufeng walking from behind with a group of palace maids.

Zhu Youzhen, who was excited, hurriedly introduced, "Aiqing, it is my queen who walks in the middle of the front. ”

Zhou Yufeng was also excited when he saw Zhu Youzhen, "Emperor, we have silver." ”

"Yes! Yes! Queen, do you know where the silver comes from? Do you know who got it for us? It's this lad who doesn't just ......"

Thinking that Wang Jinlong couldn't say anything about intercepting Jiang Jiu and Wang Chengyin's messengers, Zhu Youzhen stopped, "Queen, all this silver was brought by Wang Aiqing!" ”

Wang Jinlong had already guessed that this woman who was very beautiful and full of nobility was the queen Zhou Yufeng, and when he saw Zhou Yufeng wearing the same clothes as the palace maid, Wang Jinlong was shocked, this history book is really not nonsense, so Wang Jinlong hurriedly made a big salute, "The minister Wang Jinlong has seen the queen's mother, and the mother is a thousand years old." ”

Zhou Yufeng hurriedly waved back and motioned for Wang Jinlong to get up, "Aiqing, flat!" Flat! ”

She wondered a little, didn't she get all this money from her home? Why did the emperor say that this Aiqing got it?

Seeing Zhou Yufeng's surprise, Zhu Youzhen explained: "Queen, you don't know, the idea of checking back is from Wang Aiqing, or not?" How did I know that Hui Hui was secretly fluent, and how did I know that Hui Hui had so much money? ”

Zhou Yufeng was surprised, "So that's the case?" ”

"Yes, yes, can I joke with the Queen?"

Zhou Yufeng immediately bowed his hand to Wang Jinlong, "Xiao Aiqing, thank you on behalf of the emperor of this palace." ”

At this time, dozens of carts of silver were pulled back, and Zhu Youzhen's eyes lit up when he looked at the silver he pulled back, "Queen, let's not talk about it yet, I want to go to the inner library to have a look!" ”

Zhou Yufeng glanced at Zhu Youzhen, "Emperor, what is there to look at in the inner library, in the end, just know the number, the emperor will affect their work." ”

What Zhou Yufeng said about them was the palace maids who managed the silver treasury.

Although the inner palace has 12 eunuchs, 4 divisions, and 8 bureaus, known as the 24 yamen, covering almost all the needs of the inner palace, the management of the inner treasury is played by female officials, and when it is necessary to organize the inner treasury in a big way, the eunuchs are called to work.

Female officials will regularly count the inventory of the inner library, generally twice a month, after the inventory is completed, to report the results to the queen in charge of the harem, Zhu Youzhen's grandmother Liu was put down by Zhu Yijun, the Wanli Emperor who occasionally passed through the inner library, when the inventory was counted.

"Emperor, you have to reward this little Aiqing well!"

"I don't need to be reminded by the queen, I have already sealed Wang Aiqing's head of the East Factory, the second official product."

Zhou Yufeng was surprised, could it be that this little guy is a eunuch, doesn't he look like it?

Seeing the confusion on Zhou Yufeng's face, Zhu Youzhen knew that he had to explain again, "Empress, I will have dinner in Kunning Palace at noon, make more dishes, I want to feast Wang Aiqing." ”

"The concubine obeys!"

But Zhou Yufeng continued to wonder, saying that this young man is a eunuch, not only does he not look like him, but it is obvious that this young man's Adam's apple is relatively large, and he still has a little fluffy beard on his face, and the emperor also calls this young man Aiqing, which is not in line with the emperor's habit of calling eunuchs, when did the emperor call eunuchs slaves, when did he call Aiqing?

"Queen, go! Go to your Kunning Palace, I have something to say to you. ”

In ancient times, the status of the queen and the emperor is opposite, is the most noble woman in the world, the emperor is the sky, the queen is the earth, the emperor is Qian, the queen is Kun, the queen's bedroom is taken from the Tao Te Ching, 'the land has a Yining', so the name Kunning Palace.

Each palace in the harem has a certain number of eunuchs and palace maids directly under it, of course, the number of eunuchs and palace maids in each palace has certain regulations, the eunuchs and palace maids in the queen's palace are the most, and the eunuchs and female officials in the queen mother's palace have a relatively high status.

Kunning Palace is the real residence, and the queen holds formal activities in the harem, such as receiving the wives of nobles and officials, usually in the Jiaotai Palace.

Jiaotai Hall takes the meaning of heaven and earth Jiaotai.

Gao Yushun is the chief eunuch of Kunning Palace, and when Zhu Youzhen came in, he ordered Gao Yushun to take the eunuchs and palace maids out to avoid, of course, the eunuchs of the Qianqing Palace who followed Zhu Youzhen also avoided it.

Zhou Yufeng was surprised, obviously the emperor had something important to tell her, when after listening to Zhu Youzhen's words, Wang Jinlong saved Zhou Yuji and intercepted Jiang Hao and Wang Chengyin's messengers, and prevented Jiang Hao and Wang Chengyin from surrendering Li Zicheng, Zhou Yufeng was moved, "Xiao Aiqing, you saved our Ming Dynasty!" ”
