Yongle Street, Yuanfu,

The sky is not yet bright, and there are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road.

"Yo, it was delivered so early. ”

The butler with a two-handful mustache poked his head out and quipped.

"Lord Shangshu's affairs, naturally, must not be sloppy. ”

The vendor who delivered the vegetables wiped the sweat from his forehead and pushed the cart through the back door, leaving no one but two deep ruts.

"Hey, these are rare things. ”

The butler lifted the vegetable leaf on the top, picked up a huge string of pearls from the frame and put it in his hand to play with it.

"The villain is only responsible for sending these things, and he can't remember the specific number, if Steward Liu likes it, the villain will naturally not be able to see it. ”

The hawker just lowered his head to unload the goods, and did not squint.

"Interesting, I didn't expect your master to be an understanding person, and the little guy under him is also a clever person. ”

After speaking, the pearl chain in his hand slipped into the sleeve without a trace.

Steward Liu lifted it. ”

"My master said that the manor outside the city has been piled up with grain, and it is full, and now I will make the treasury of the house full of treasures, otherwise it will be empty, and my master will feel uncomfortable. ”

The vendor unloaded all the wooden baskets and looked at the housekeeper of the Yuan Mansion with a smile.

"Naturally, I will convey this to my family. ”

"My lord promised your master that the matter will naturally be done. ”

After speaking, he clapped his hands and took care of the small servants in the house, carrying a few large boxes of treasures and walking towards the warehouse.

Outside the Yuan Mansion,

Juxian Building, 2nd floor,

"My lord, everything is done. ”

The little guy just now half-knelt on the ground and looked at the personable scholar in front of him.

"Are the other mansions delivered?"

"Naturally. ”

"That's very good. ”

Looking closely, the scholar was very handsome, and there was a faint arrogance between his eyebrows.

Bai Xiaosheng took a sip of tea, and there were many thoughts in his mind.

At the beginning, the words outside the drunken immortal residence in Beiliang City are still deeply remembered, and he took over the Liangzhou Spy Division, His Royal Highness really responded to his requests as he said, and after making the charter in the big tent a few days ago, he quickly used various channels to rush to the capital.

Before entering Beijing, someone came to the news of His Royal Highness, and there were three million taels of silver buried under the mountain gate of Huichang Temple, and it was with the three million taels of silver that the grain shop in the capital was emptied.

Buying grain is not a whim, the best way to make the imperial army far away on the border of Liangzhou feel the pressure and take the initiative to send troops, is to let the rear be chaotic.

And disturbing the capital is a very direct way,

When the mountain of grain was placed in front of him, a very bold idea came to his mind, and this batch of grain and grass could not be taken away by himself.

And the pressure between the markets alone is obviously not enough.

Drunken Xianju has long-term business dealings with many adults in the court, even if he has been away from Beijing for a long time, there is still a way, if there is no original way, there is really no place to send this batch of money and food.

So this batch of grain worth tens of millions of dollars naturally entered the bags of the princes of the court, and they didn't need to do much, they just needed to fan the flames at a critical time.

Outside the palace gate,

The spring breeze mixed with drizzle was a little wet on the face, and the crimson palace wall was a little mottled when you looked closely, and thirty years had passed in a blink of an eye.

"Stop the car. ”

Qin Qingtang thought lightly, and walked towards the imperial city with the soles of his shoes on the slightly moist bluestone slab.

has been an official for decades,

Daqing was established, and the imperial court set up three provinces and six departments.

Zhongshu, Shangshu, Menxia, the three high-ranking officials are called prime ministers,

Ministry of Officials, Ministry of Households, Ministry of Rites, Ministry of Punishment, Ministry of War, Ministry of Industry,

The six ministers called it Shangshu.

Zhongshu Province adheres to the will of the monarch, is in charge of secrets, and issues the emperor's edict, originally the ancestor emperor set up three provinces and six ministries in order to divide the power, but when did Nai cross the border and moved to the end or Zhongshu Province is a monopoly, especially above the prime minister of the previous dynasty.

The emperor's grace is mighty, Jane is in the emperor's heart,

Twenty years ago, he was the chief prime minister, ranking first among the prime ministers of the three provinces, the first among the hundred officials, and he really achieved one person under ten thousand people.

"My lord, don't sit in a sedan chair today?"

"You wait outside the palace gate. ”

Ren Zhi took out an umbrella and propped it on the top of Qin Qingtang's head, the first emperor was sympathetic to the old man and allowed him to sit in a sedan chair to enter the court, and the original town Beihou can ride a horse into the palace is generally a rare honor in the world.

"I'm tired of it, it's okay to take a walk. ”

Qin Qingtang took the umbrella, the drizzle slapped on the umbrella surface and there was a slight crackling sound, the soles of the shoes stepped on the slightly moist bluestone, and the ticking sound of the rain dripping from the black armor of the forbidden army was in the ears, but it was like a world away.

"Lord Qin, is it still so early today?"

An old eunuch in the palace saw Qin Qingtang from a long distance, walked forward quickly, took the umbrella in Qin Qingtang's hand very naturally, and chatted casually.

Since the father-in-law Wei and the ancestor Li Gaoliang of the same generation left a month ago, he can be regarded as picking up the cheap, and he has risen to the top, and now he is also a celebrity who serves the little emperor.

"Hmm. ”

Qin Qingtang responded softly.

"Recently, there have been changes in the palace. ”

After hesitating for a moment, Qin Qingtang opened his mouth and asked, after all, there are some things that he always knows more about following His Majesty for a long time, and the most important thing is that he is not sure about the attitude of Her Royal Highness the princess now.

"There are some things that should not be said by a slave, but Lord Qin's personality can also be saved by our family, Lord Qin is dedicated to the Daqing Imperial Court, for the sake of our Majesty. ”

"In the eyes of the slaves, the affairs of the heavenly family are more important than anything else, but now that Your Majesty is young, a few days ago, the servants heard the harem concubines talking about how it is difficult to get close to Your Majesty on weekdays, and it is all the maids around Her Royal Highness the Princess who are playing with Your Majesty. ”

"Minions are worried about ......"

The old eunuch stopped talking.

"Save. ”

Qin Qingtang looked at the eunuch Wei Mingfu, and his heart suddenly understood.

Speaking of loyalty, there are few people in the world who can compare to eunuchs, that is, most of the famous ministers in the past dynasties and dynasties are named after them, but in the eyes of the eunuchs, His Majesty is his only backer, and even the great eunuch in history who is in power also knows this truth, and all the power in his hands comes from His Majesty.

After all, it's a eunuch without a warm child,

That highest position in the world is destined to be lost.

Even though they are arrogant and arrogant, disregarding people's lives, making the court miserable, and making the people of the world miserable, the vast majority of them are still loyal to the emperor.

The princess's seizure of power is a 1 in 10,000 possibility in her eyes,

But in the eyes of the eunuch, it is 10,000 possibilities.

That's it, today's court is mainly for the court army to quell the chaos of the regulations, if possible, I will give Her Royal Highness the princess a layer of insurance, so as not to cause chaos in the future.

"Lord Qin, the slave has retired. ”

Looking at the Taihe Hall on the white marble steps, Wei Mingfu solemnly bowed to Qin Qingtang.

"That's right, Lord Qin. ”

Just took two steps,

That Wei Mingfu was ruthless and stopped Qin Qingtang.

"This is the property that the slaves have purchased in the city over the years, and they wanted to leave the palace in the future to find a pair of food and enjoy the blessings, but yesterday I learned from the palace procurement office that the price of grain in the capital has risen a lot. ”

"Don't hide it from my lord, the slave was also sent to the palace when he was a child when he couldn't eat at home, and he knew the taste of an empty stomach, and one or two people couldn't eat enough to get in the way, but if there were more hungry people, the capital would be in chaos, and the slave didn't want to see His Majesty worried. ”

Wei Mingfu took out a title deed and a small stack of silver tickets from his cuffs and handed them to Qin Qingtang, and after seeing it clearly, Qin Qingtang's face changed slightly.

"Lord Qin, don't blame it, the servants have only recently served by His Majesty's side, and they have received a lot of filial piety money, and it is also excellent to make Shangjing City stable. ”

Wei Mingfu looked at the Taihe Hall above and sighed.

"The slave can't rest assured that the officials of the ministries can only bother the adults. ”

"I have a heart. ”

Qin Qingtang was stunned and took it.

"The princes above the court are not even as good as a eunuch without eggs!"

Qin Qingtang tightly squeezed the title deed and silver ticket in his hand and walked up the white jade steps, walked to the highest place and looked at the Gonggong Zhugong who was reprimanding Fang Xuan in the hall, and then turned to look at Wei Mingfu's cautious back, and the feeling in his heart was incomprehensible.
