Chapter 237: Xiong Wencan, who didn't dare to fill the pit
Zhu Youzhen said "no", but his hands and feet were very sharp!
As soon as Wen Tiren left, he immediately wrote a letter to Wang Li - not a holy decree!
After all, if you have a request from Wang Li, you can only use a consultative tone, not a commanding decree!
For the sake of face, Zhu Youzhen also mentioned intentionally or unintentionally that "borrowing money" was the unanimous suggestion of cabinet members, not his original intention!
Three days later, the letter was quickly sent to Daling River, and Wang Li was so angry that he blew his beard and glared!
In the recital not long ago, I have euphemistically said that I don't like Gao Qiqian, not only did you not edict him back, but instead sent a historian!
Make me so unhappy that you are embarrassed to borrow money from me?
Two million, no more, no less!
If you borrow it for military salary, then it is destined to be lost, and you will pay it back to me?
Even if you make an IOU, what's the use?
If you can't pay the money, what can I do with you?
If it was Zhu Huijiao's dowry, I would have paid it in the form of a "vanilla coupon"!
Could it be that I can still move to the palace and live without leaving?
Or, let you sign an agreement to mortgage the Forbidden City?
Are you kidding!
Didn't I say you, the Manchu officials were all rich, let each of them make up a little, or borrow a little from each of them, wouldn't it?
Catch me alone, do you want to be shameless?
Do you really think I'm an ATM?
In addition to being depressed, he noticed the words "cabinet member" in the letter, and his disgust with Wen Tiren increased a little!
This smiling tiger has been looking for trouble several times!
If you don't kill him, my word "king" will be written upside down!
I'll go!
Grandpa Cao, what are you doing with your eyebrows?
You have to find out, it's not me who owes him Zhu Youzhen! Look at your posture, if you can't get the money, you won't leave?
There's a high dive around, I'm annoyed enough, and now there's another Cao Huachun!
You're still not letting me live?
"Uh...... Father-in-law Cao, two million silver is not a small amount, since it is Long Live Lord who opens his mouth to borrow money, I should obey it!
It's just that the main force of the Eight Banners is in Xiping Fort, and I don't dare to return to Beijing easily! ”
"If the factory is willing to donate generously, Daming will be saved!" Cao Huachun's face was overjoyed, but he was a little puzzled: "The situation in Liaodong is changing rapidly, and it is really not appropriate for the factory to leave!"
However, you only need to write a letter and send someone to deliver the silver taels, and you don't need to go back to Beijing in person, right? ”
Cao Huachun's words made Wang Li grit his teeth with anger, but he didn't dare to show it!
What does "generosity" mean by "generosity"?
Can you make that clear?
Two million, for me is a drop in the bucket!
Lend it to Zhu Youzhen, it's not a problem at all!
When the time comes, he will still pay for it, and I don't plan to force him to sell the Forbidden City, let alone force him to sell his sons and daughters!
But at least, give me an IOU, right?
Not only does he have to write it himself, but he also has to stamp it with the jade seal of the country!
This IOU is my family heirloom!
In a few hundred years, it will definitely be more valuable than "Qingming Riverside Map"!
So, for such an important matter, can I not go back to Beijing in person?
However, the Eight Banners look strong, but they are actually strong outside!
With Zu Dashou, Song Yi and Cao Bianjiao guarding the Daling River, you can rest assured!
When I go back to Beijing, the slowest will be ten days, and nothing big will happen!
Besides, there is no high subconscious fingers around you, and the roots of your ears can be quiet for a few days!
Therefore, take the time to go back to Beijing to give yourself a few days off!
……
I don't know what Zhu Youzhen explained, Wang Li's personal return to Beijing, Cao Huachun did not show opposition, but a trace of happiness!
Out of admiration for Wang Li, Cao Huachun answered all the questions truthfully!
Knowing some things in the court, Wang Li can no longer be calm!
Since ancient times, it is not unreasonable that the military generals on the border can't fight the civilian officials!
He is a eunuch, not a general!
However, during these days when he was away, the group of civil officials led by Wen Tiren were simply lawless!
It is basically certain that Xiong Wencan's promotion, Yang Sichang's promotion, Chen Shiqi's promotion, and the arrival of Gao Qiqian and the historian are all ghosts caused by Wen Tiren!
It's a pity that Cao Huachun doesn't know the specific details!
In the Qianqing Palace, when asked about Xiong Wencan's promotion, Zhu Youzhen did not hide it and said it truthfully!
Knowing the reason, Wang Li could only hehehe!
The funny thing is that the vital Zhu Youzhen has been kept in the dark so far!
In fact, everything is because of "wine", and also because of Wang Li!
The year before last, Gao Qi sneaked to Fujian to inspect, and Xiong Wencan, as the governor, was naturally greeted with good wine and food!
A whole altar of "Shuijingfang" is down, Xiong Wencan's guy, he no longer knows how thick the sky is!
Unexpectedly, Hong Chengchou, Cao Wenzhao and Zuo Liangyu are all waste! If he had been allowed to suppress the thief, the world would have been decided!
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention!
Xiong Wencan is just drunk and talking nonsense, but Gao Qiqian takes it seriously!
Come to think of it, Xiong Wencan can settle Zheng Zhilong, and his ability is definitely not small!
Such a talent should be reused by the imperial court!
So, after returning to Beijing, Gao Qiqian kept blowing the wind in Zhu Youzhen's ears, blowing Xiong Wencan to the sky!
During that time, Wang Lijie, the "Governor of the Five Provinces to Suppress Thieves", won victories and good news frequently, and Zhu Youzhen never thought about replacing people!
However, he not only remembered Xiong Wencan's name, but also promoted him to the governor of Liangguang!
Last month, the thieves returned!
Zhu Youzhen hesitated several times and didn't dare to distract Wang Li, so he thought of Xiong Wencan - promoted him to the governor of Huguang, and was fully responsible for the heavy task of suppressing thieves in the Huguang territory!
It would have been a great thing to be promoted again!
However, Xiong Wencan is not calm!
Which of the provinces where the thieves are in trouble is not a pit?
How many years has the post of governor of Shaanxi been vacant?
Except for Sun Chuanting, who else dares to take office?
How many years has the post of governor of Shanxi been vacant?
No one dared to go until now, right?
The governor of Huguang is already a pit, and the governor of Huguang is even more of a big pit!
I have a few catties and a few taels, and I can hide it from Gao Qiqian or Zhu Youzhen, but I can't hide it from Wang Li!
Even if he is tight-lipped, the position of the governor of Huguang will never dare to sit down!
Wang Li can beat the thieves, chickens and dogs, that is because people have money and food, soldiers and horses, and the support of Hong Chengchou, the eldest brother!
Do you have all this?
With the little silver given by Zhu Youzhen, how many soldiers can be recruited?
On weekdays, it's not a big deal to brag after drinking!
If you really want to go to Huguang to suppress thieves, isn't it a life of nine deaths?
racked his brains and tried his best to shirk it with "five difficulties and four can'ts", but Zhu Youzhen still refused to replace people to fill the pit!
Still don't let people live?
With an idea, Xiong Wencan found Gao Qidive!
In order not to go to Huguang to take office, he even gambled his life: risking the risk of peeling the skin and grass, he truthfully told Gao Qiqian about the causes and consequences of recruiting Zheng Zhilong!
Including bribing Wang Li with 100,000 taels!
I have to say that Xiong Wencan's gamble is very bold!
It looks like nine deaths, but in fact, there is no danger!
Because, the object of his bribe is Wang Li!
He was sure that Zhu Youzhen would not punish Wang Li!
By the way, you won't punish yourself!
It's a big deal, it's just a matter of getting off the job and returning home!
Such a result is exactly what Xiong Wencan dreamed of!
However, Xiong Wencan only won half of the bet!
Zhu Youzhen did not pursue the bribery and bullying of the king!
But the governor of Huguang, a hot potato, still couldn't throw it away!
There's no way, don't dare to fill the pit!
After thinking about it, Xiong Wencan found Wen Tiren again and talked about his bribery and bullying again!
Anyway, Zhu Youzhen already knew about it and didn't punish him!
In other words, let more people know that at most, they can lose some face, but they can save their lives!
However, Xiong Wencan miscalculated again!
Wen Tiren not only recommended himself, but also mobilized cabinet members and officials to keep writing and recommending!
In this way, Xiong Wencan was completely speechless, and wanted to cry without tears!
Wen Tiren's purpose is actually very simple:
Xiong Wencan doesn't have the ability to govern the army, that's just right!
In the book, he and Wang Li are described as intimate, and then take advantage of his dereliction of duty in the process of suppressing thieves to drag Wang Li into the water!
And Zhu Youzhen didn't know Wen Tiren's purpose, but after several weighings, he decided that only Xiong Wencan could be qualified for the post of governor of Huguang!
Because......
In Zhu Youzhen's view, Wang Li is full of economy and outstanding achievements, and the Manchu Dynasty is unmatched in civil and military affairs, and he is his sharpest knife!
Since Xiong Wencan has a close relationship with Wang Li, then his bullying and bribery are not a big deal!
Indeed it is!
The credit for recruiting Zheng Zhilong, Wang Li is willing to give it to Xiong Wencan, what else do you have to say?
As for bribery, this is indeed a capital offense!
But on the matter, it doesn't seem to be a bribe, it's more like a courtesy exchange between the two!
That's right, it's a gift exchange!
Wang Li's face, I still have to give a little!
Ten years ago, he confessed to me that he didn't like power, only silver!
Moreover, his corruption, I acquiesced to it a few years ago!
Even if he is greedy for millions or tens of millions, he deserves it!
If there were ten courtiers like him in the court, he would have been at ease a long time ago!
It's a pity that he's the only one!
So, let Xiong Wencan go to Huguang to suppress thieves, and Wang Li, who is a friend, will sit idly by?
At least, you don't have to allocate your own money and food!
At least, Wang Li will take the initiative to pay attention to Huguang's suppression of thieves!
Why not do such a good thing?
……
Clarifying the cause and effect, the corners of Wang Li's mouth showed an imperceptible smile.
did not debunk Wen Tiren's conspiracy, nor did he debunk Zhu Youzhen's careful thoughts.
What do you say, people can't dismantle it!
Sent a stack of silver tickets, with a smile on his face: "Long live the Lord is too worried, the only bribe the little slave has ever received is Xiong Wencan's 100,000 taels!"
The little slave's current belongings are all hard work, and they are saved up one copper plate after another!
Long live the Lord borrowed money in order to raise military salaries, and the little slave should give his full support! ”
"Factory father, you have traveled thousands of miles to send back the silver ticket, you are really heartfelt! I really don't know how to reward you! ”
Zhu Youzhen's eyes were red with emotion, and he breathed a long sigh of relief!
But there is no more representation!
and intentionally or unintentionally, avoiding Wang Li's gaze!
At this moment, Wang Li was depressed!
Just now, when I gave the silver ticket, I deliberately accentuated the word "borrow"!
Did Zhu Youzhen not hear it, or did he deliberately pretend to be stupid?
Could it be that you have received my silver ticket, shouldn't you write a deed of receipt, and then stamp the jade seal of the country and your "Chongzhen" seal?
I'll go!
You just sit quietly, trying to fool around?
Belch...... If you really want me to say this about the deed, everyone will have no face, right?
Although you are the emperor, you must have integrity, right?
I'll go!
You've been waiting for a quarter of an hour, and you're really not going to write?
Could it be that in this era, the person who owes money is already an uncle?
No!
Yang Bailao can't pay the money, isn't he also forced to use his daughter to pay off the debt?
So, owing money is an uncle's business, and it can't happen in this era!
Feed! You guy, you really want me to make things clear, you're happy, aren't you?
"Uh...... Hooray, this two million silver...... This one...... This one...... The little slave saved very hard......"
"Factory father...... Actually...... I know that...... It's just that this thing is ...... It is the meaning of Lord Shoufu Wen......
This one...... At the court meeting that day, the Manchu officials were suggesting that the factory officials should vigorously support this salary...... So...... I'm also in a quandary...... This ......"
Hearing the name of "Wen Tiren", he didn't pay attention to Zhu Youzhen's words anymore!
At this moment, I just want to kill that Wen Tiren!
It's a pity that that guy is rigorous and steady, and he doesn't show his feet at all!
Moreover, he is the head of the cabinet!
Under the command of Zhu Youzhen, he has been the first assistant for several years, and the tree has deep roots!
Yao Ximeng, Luo Yuyi, Wen Zhenmeng, Zheng Zheng, Ni Yuanlu, Huang Jingfang, Chen Zizhuang and other ministers failed to bring him down, but were dismissed or imprisoned!
This guy is really cunning!
Don't dare to be tough with me, only know how to stab you in the back, and force the villain!
If you don't kill him, sooner or later there will be trouble!
It's just that, with ordinary impeachment, it's hard to kill him!
Directly tied him up to the Xichang Imperial Prison, which is too simple and rude!
If you don't do it, you have to put yourself in it!
Originally, Zhu Youzhen is not Zhu Youxiao who doesn't ask about political affairs!
Or, think of a way to plant him as a collaborator and treason, and punish him for the nine clans?
Well, that's good!
"Collaborating with the enemy and treason", no one can survive, whether it is a first-class supervisor or a cabinet chief, no matter whether it is a prince or a nobleman or a member of the Zhu family!
Hum!
Non-toxic husband, just do it!
The problem is that Huang Taiji has already claimed the title of emperor, and the Houjin seal that was forged before can no longer be used!
Well, it's not very difficult!
As long as you return to the Daling River and operate a little, it is indeed not difficult to get the seal of the "Great Qing Kingdom"!
Well, we have to hurry up!
So, I didn't care about the fatigue of rushing for days, let alone the cold and freezing in Liaodong, so I hurriedly resigned to Zhu Youzhen!
was so conscientious that Zhu Youzhen was moved to tears!
