"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Yang Chengying is actually showing his attitude to the imperial court."

Hong Chengchou said: "He knew that the imperial court was wary of him in every way, so he used methods such as reclamation orders and opening roads to show the imperial court that his goal was in the east, not the west. ”

When Chongzhen heard this, his eyes flashed.

This sentence is really like an initiation.

Many things that can't be figured out are easily solved.

Chongzhen said: "That said, I can't allow it directly. If you do that, it will cause a shock in the government and the opposition, which will cause things to become troublesome. ”

He thought about it carefully for a moment and continued: "I look at this, Hong Aiqing posted a notice in the name of the superintendent, allowing the people to enter and leave Shanhaiguan freely. ”

"Minister...... Compliance. ”

Hong Chengchou's heart instantly cooled.

If nothing happens, he is the target of impeachment of the "upright" ministers of the imperial court.

When he can't clean it up, he will be abandoned by Chongzhen.

This continues Chongzhen's consistent style of "not taking the blame".

Even so, Hong Chengchou must withstand the pressure and implement it conscientiously.

Give Chongzhen an explanation internally, and give Yang Chengying an explanation externally.

Stabilizing them is more useful than stabilizing many ministers.

"Then, what should I do about the affairs of the Li Dynasty?" Hong Chengchou asked.

"You took a trip to Liaodong on behalf of me, and on the surface you scolded him, but in fact it was equivalent to walking around."

Chongzhen said: "By the way, tell Yang Chengying that I hope he will deliver good news." ”

Originally, I wanted to ask Hong Chengchou if he could make some money by the way.

After thinking about it carefully, how could you do such a thing as an emperor.

It's better not to make extraneous branches.

Hong Chengchou received the order.

Leaving the Qianqing Palace, Hong Chengchou returned to his house.

As the governor of Jiliao, he was supposed to stay in the Yamen of Shanhaiguan, but he was urgently summoned to Beijing by the imperial court.

When I came out of the palace, it was already dark.

Hong Chengchou originally planned to return to the mansion, rest well for one night, and wait for the imperial court to make a clear decree, and then rush to Liaodong.

Unexpectedly, I met a high dive in the house.

Seeing Hong Chengchou, he raised his fists and said, "Thank you Inspector Hong for your kind words in front of the saint, so that I won't go back empty-handed." ”

"Gao Gong is really idle." Hong Chengchou said angrily.

It's no wonder that Hong Chengchou is angry.

Gao Qi swore in front of Yang Chengying, saying that he would definitely be able to complete Yang Chengying's explanation.

As a result, when he arrived in Beijing, Gao Qiqian haunted Qinglou and other places all day long.

A eunuch who doesn't do business, always runs to that kind of place, and is not afraid of the world's jokes.

Gao Qiqian seemed to hear Hong Chengchou's resentment, and said with a smile: "Don't blame me for not seeing anyone all day long, I actually have something to do." ”

"What's the big deal, it's even bigger than the reclamation order?" Hong Chengchou didn't believe it.

"If you don't believe me, you can follow me to see."

Gao Qiqian made a "please" gesture.

Hong Chengchou glanced at the direction, which was the courtyard he had allocated to Gao Qiqian for his temporary residence, so he nodded in agreement.

He followed Gao Qiqian to the courtyard where Gao Qiqian temporarily lived, and saw that there were large boxes in the courtyard, which were guarded by special personnel.

"What's in the box?" Hong Chengchou was a little curious.

"Open it and see."

Gao Qiqian gave his subordinates a look.

One of the chests was opened, and it contained porcelain.

Hong Chengchou didn't believe that Gao Qiqian just came to buy porcelain, took out one of the porcelain, and found that it was from Jingdezhen.

"You bought all these days?"

Hong Chengchou flipped through the bottom of the box and found that it was still porcelain.

It's really porcelain!

"Not bad." Gao Qiqian pointed to another big box, "Look at what is in here!" ”

Gao Qiqian's men open the box.

Hong Chengchou glanced at it and found that it was actually chopsticks.

This time, Hong Chengchou didn't turn it over, he guessed that it was all chopsticks.

"King Zhou asked you to come to Jingshi, but he actually bought these things."

Hong Chengchou was a little surprised, "But I didn't see you bring a penny." ”

Gao Qiqian smiled but did not speak.

Hong Chengchou understood - the money came from the nobles of the Beijing Division.

Some of them did not pay the protection fee, but this time they have already paid.

"To be honest, this is just the tip of the iceberg, more things have been transported from Tongzhou to Tianjin and then to Qiansuo Town."

Gao Qiqian said truthfully.

"I don't understand, what does King Zhou want so much porcelain for?" Hong Chengchou asked.

"To the homeless people." Gao Qi submerged, "Recruit the reclamation order, all the famous homeless people can get a complete set of utensils, as well as clothes, shoes and socks." ”

Hong Chengchou was dumbfounded.

Gao Qiqian said: "Actually, I am only responsible for the sale and handover of porcelain, and Hu Liangfu is responsible for clothes, shoes and socks. ”

Hu Liangfu, the former eunuch of the Liaodong Army.

Hong Chengchou felt incredible: "How many benefits did King Zhou promise you?" ”

"It's only my own job." Gao Qiqian said lightly.

"This ...... Why did you all change sex with Yang Chengying? ”

Hong Chengchou was even more curious.

"The eunuchs who used to serve the emperor and the emperor gave a dog bone when they were happy."

Gao Qiqian said: "If you are not happy, kick your feet." If you don't believe it, ask which of the eunuchs in the palace has never been beaten.

is different from King Zhou, everything has official laws. I've done a good job, and I'll be able to get promoted in the future, or get a knighthood. ”

Hong Chengchou understood.

Speaking of which, the emperor never cared about Gao Qiqian, and he didn't even mention it.

"Lord Zhou's Reclamation Division has been set up in Qiansuo Town."

Gao Qiqian asked: "I also have to go back to settle the errand, when will you go to Liaodong?" ”

"Wait for Your Majesty's will, and then set off." Hong Chengchou replied.

"In other words, when you get to Shenyang, it's time to start."

Raise your head and dive high.

Hong Chengchou said: "As long as the emperor doesn't make a mistake, I will let you successfully complete the reclamation of the people." ”

"In this way, the emperor does not support it on the surface."

Gao Qiqian suddenly understood, "It seems that Your Majesty is still the same." However, he has already made progress, unlike that time when he targeted Inspector Yuan and went down in person. ”

"Alas! In this case, I am in trouble. Hong Chengchou said.

"It's okay, your credit, King Zhou has a note in the account book."

Gao Qiqian revealed some news: "On other days, there is kindness to repay kindness, and there is revenge to revenge." ”

Hong Chengchou's eyes lit up, and he seemed to understand something.

The affairs of the Li Dynasty dragged on until July.

Wen Tiren and Yang Sichang disagreed, and there were many discussions inside and outside the court.

Until the fourth day of the seventh month.

Only then did the imperial court officially issue an order to Hong Chengchou to carry the edict of reprimand and go to Shenyang with Lin Qingye, the envoy of the Li Dynasty.

From Jingshi to Shanhaiguan, and then from Shanhaiguan to Shenyang.

Hong Chengchou and his entourage walked for a month.

On the sixth day of August of this year, he finally arrived in Shenyang.

Yang Cheng received the will, but said to Lin Qingye: "Please go back and tell the king of the Li Dynasty, since he doesn't listen to the advice, don't blame me for being ruthless." ”

"You...... What are you doing? Lin Qingye was taken aback.

"If you are familiar with the Confucian classics and familiar with the history of our country, you should have heard a sentence - when you are outside, the monarch's order is not affected."
