Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1056 Arrival in Beijing
Gao Wushi and Li Chengliang had a lot to say about what they said, but the key issue was already explained.

What I didn't explain was why Gao Wushi kept beating Li Chengliang until today and took the opportunity to ask Li Chengliang to find a chance to retire. The reason for this was that he still didn't know anything about it until Li Chengliang left.

To put it bluntly, Gao Yushi did not intend to attack the entire Li family in Tieling, but gave Li Chengliang a chance to retire. From this, Gao Yushi hinted to Li Chengliang that the members of the Li family should step out of his wings and fight in the sky by themselves. It can be seen, and in the end, he even said bluntly that he must create opportunities for Li Chengliang Liujue to change Spyker.

Li Chengliang's current Uncle Ningyuan is just a Liujue, which means that he cannot be hereditary. If Liujue can be replaced with a Spylord, then the Tieling Li family will no longer be a simple general, but a nobleman who "slees with the country" home.

In terms of status and wealth, the noble family is of course far superior to the so-called generals.After all, a family like Jiangmen must always be associated with war. It will naturally prosper when it can fight, but if it can't fight, its defeat is just around the corner.There are even those who are unlucky, who were in charge of the Baihutang yesterday, but are now in jail.If one is not careful, the wives and children will be implicated.

The nobles are different. Although the nobles of Ming Dynasty often do not get any real power, their positions are extremely secure. Unless there are special circumstances such as treason or extinct heirs, Spyker means eternal wealth.

Besides, there are no viscounts or barons in Ming Dynasty, and the lowest title is earl. There are less than 100 people in the two capitals and thirteen provinces in the whole country. How noble is this?To put it bluntly, the nobles of Ming Dynasty have a stronger status than the clan.

Because of this, when Li Chengliang left, he was in a trance, and even he himself couldn't tell what his state of mind was at the moment, whether it was joy, worry, or inexplicable melancholy.

It stands to reason that as a general, Spyker is really the highest goal. Since Spyker can be easily obtained, what is there to hesitate about?

As for the rank of title, Li Chengliang is also self-aware.Right now, Daming is not worried about being overthrown, and it can even be said that over the past ten years, Daming has a tendency to rejuvenate. Under such circumstances, he has not accomplished the feat of destroying the country, so how could he get a higher title than the earl?

Not to mention far away, Gao Yushi himself can be regarded as a person who has "destroyed the country", but does he have a title?No, the imperial court didn't even mention it, and no one even thought that his great achievements in Annan Dingbei could be awarded a knighthood.

Although there is no doubt that the high-level practical status was far behind at the time, it is also a rare direct manifestation of the title of Daming.In fact, apart from the founding of the country and Jingnan, how many people were later able to be knighted with military merit?Except for the special case of Wang Wencheng, the rest of the credit is nothing more than the descendants of Yin officials.

But Li Chengliang's number of yin officials was already too much for his sons to use up, and he began to use it for his nephews. What's the point of giving more yin officials?
Riding on the horse, Li Chengliang thought to himself: Hereditary Uncle Ning Yuan, this is probably the last goal of my life, right?It's just that I don't know how Gao Qiuzhen intends to create a great achievement for me in exchange for the Spyker's reward...

After walking for a while, Li Chengliang suddenly turned to Li Pinghu and asked, "Pinghu, what are your plans in this life?"

Li Pinghu was taken aback when he heard this, and said in astonishment: "Pinghu didn't understand what the commander said... just fight, fight with the commander, kill it happily, and grab some rich women, what else?" Good plan?"

Li Chengliang sighed and said, "What if I don't fight anymore?"

"Don't fight?" Li Pinghu said in surprise, "Then what are you going to do?"

"What to do... I haven't thought about it yet, but I guess it should be raised in the capital." Li Chengliang looked up at the crescent moon in the night sky, and said in a distant voice: "Perhaps it's for tea and fishing. Get grandson?"

Li Pinghu scratched his head and said nothing.Li Chengliang turned his head, glanced at him, and said nothing.

After Gao Wushi sent Li Chengliang away, he returned to the flower hall. The tea set in the flower hall has been completely changed, and more importantly, the people inside have also changed.

Huang Zhiting was holding a Yu Kiln teacup with a purple-red gradient, and was admiring the magnificence and luster of the teacup under the lamp. When Gao Yushi came in, she said without raising her head: "I still can't tell, what is it?" This kind of kiln change is the best, but today Yu kiln is headed by your porcelain factory, your set should be rare in the world, right?"

Gao Wu sat down in front of her, glanced at the new set of tea utensils on the table, and replied: "Speaking of which, I don't have much research on porcelain appraising, but Jiaci is a good one. What you see now One set has a title, 'Zi Qi Dong Lai', and I heard it was one of the best sets of last year."

"If you sell it, how much money can you sell?" Huang Zhiting finally raised her head and asked.

"It's hard to say, although people in the world say 'Even if you have a wealth of wealth, it's not as good as a piece of Jun porcelain', after all, I have used this set myself..." Gao Wushi said, waved his hand, and said: "Zhi Ting, are you here to talk about porcelain with me? If you like it, you can take it when you return to Annan."

Huang Zhiting chuckled, shook her head and said, "You are really a shopkeeper, you don't even know your own things."

Gao Wushi was stunned and said, "Why do you say that?"

Huang Zhiting put down the teacup, but picked up another tea tray, and turned it to Gao Wushi to look at it: "Look at the bottom of this tray, there is the word 'Longwen' engraved on one side alone, this is a masterpiece among Jinghua porcelains , only for your Gao Longwen's use... How dare I take it back to Annan, breaking your family's rules?"

Gao Wushi took the tea tray in amazement, and said, "Is there another theory?" As a result, besides "Jinghua Porcelain" and "Made in Wanli Ten Years" on the bottom of the tray, there was actually a small seal with the word "Longwen" carved in Yang .

He thought for a while, and suddenly understood his mother's intentions - this trick was actually learned from him, which is to artificially divide "classes".It is conceivable that the price of Yu kiln was already ridiculously high, and now such a category has been created. In the future, if Gao Pragmatic gives away "Longwen Yu porcelain" to others, the value it represents must be much more valuable than gold.

However, Huang Zhiting's words were obviously teasing, so Gao Yushi could only smile helplessly, then changed the subject, and asked, "You heard the conversation between me and Uncle Ning Yuan just now, didn't you? What do you think?"

Huang Zhiting picked up the teacup again with one hand, spread it out with the other hand, and said, "I don't know what kind of friendship or festival you have with him. I'm so confused, what do you think? If you really want me to Speaking now, I can only express my doubts: Why can't he continue to do it? Is he disobedient to your orders?"

Gao Wushi shook his head and said, "That's not the case."

Huang Zhiting said casually: "Oh, it seems that his family is too powerful? Just like the Cen family back then, the imperial court tried every means to fight several battles with the Cen family, and to promote civil strife in the Cen family, so as to ensure the stability of Guangxi— —Isn’t Liaodong the same attitude?”

Gao Pragmatism did not expect Huang Zhiting to interpret it from this angle. Sure enough, people from chieftains first consider problems from the perspective of "own strength", which is a habitual way of thinking.

But think about it, in fact, although what she said is not comprehensive, it can not be regarded as wrong. The current situation in Liaodong where the Li family in Tieling is the only one is really not what the court likes to see.The reason why no one cared about it before was simply because the situation did not allow it, that is, Li Chengliang at that time was irreplaceable.

To put it bluntly, this is also the reason why Zhu Yijun beat Li Chengliang pragmatically.After all, now in terms of military exploits, status, identity, and background, it seems that it is more convenient to beat him with high pragmatism.

Thinking of this, Gao Wushi couldn't help feeling: Fortunately, I am a civil servant, otherwise I would be beaten by others.And if there is no such candidate, I am afraid that only the emperor himself will go into battle to beat me.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Huang Zhiting showed doubts on her face and asked, "Did I say something wrong, or did I unfortunately mean what I said?"

Gao Wushi also picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, and said, "Half and half."

However, Huang Zhiting didn't seem to be very interested in Li Chengliang's affairs, and said indifferently: "Come on, it doesn't matter to me how you arrange him. Judging from your conversation just now, you don't need other people's help... If you don't For other things, I will go to rest first." After saying that, he stood up.

Gao Wushi also stood up, "I'll see you off."

Huang Zhiting rolled his eyes at him, and smiled: "No need, it's only a few steps away, what are you giving me, you can just worry about your plots and tricks." He shook his head helplessly.

My image in her eyes, shouldn't it be directly linked to conspiracy and tricks?

Silent all night.

On the second day, Gao Wushi had just woken up when someone from his family sent a post, saying that Ning Yuanbo had sent someone to congratulate the master on his new appointment, and at the same time left a letter saying that since Futai returned to Beijing to report on his duties, he would The soldiers can't stay away from the defense zone for a long time, so they have rushed back to Guangning overnight.For the impoliteness, I beg Haihan.

Gao Wushi took Li Chengliang's letter and looked at it. There was nothing special in the letter, just like what the servant had conveyed.He then took the gift list and looked at it. Most of what Li Chengliang sent were literary games, mainly calligraphy and painting, and occasionally a few pieces of jade from the previous dynasty. They also conformed to the current official rules, but the level was a little higher. , nothing particularly suspicious.

Although these things should have been prepared in advance, it can also be seen that Li Chengliang does not have much hostility towards him. Until the previous situation, he still held the attitude of "peacefully resolving disputes".

It seems that in the original history, Li Chengliang spent money in Beijing Normal University to find someone to speak for him. Although he has ambitions, it is only limited to a corner of Liaodong. The existing status and wealth in Liaodong.

Since he has such a mentality, then he should think carefully about his proposal last night.

Gao Wushi sighed in his heart: I actually did this for your own good. If you listen to my advice and retreat bravely, the records in the future history books will definitely be much better than the original history.And as long as I deal with a few hidden dangers in Liaodong, your Li family's wealth will last longer.

As for the [-] army, I'm not envious, I'll leave it to your Li family when the time comes, but... you have to let your sons share a share, isn't that too much?
Starting from Dongchangbao, we basically followed the post road back to Beijing along the way, but after arriving at Panshan Ma post, we turned to Luyang Ma post, saving the trip to Guangning.

There is nothing to mention along the way, it is nothing more than the greeting and seeing off of local officials and generals, which can be skipped.

When he arrived in the capital, Gao Wushi left Fubiao's family members in the Jianxinzhai courtyard in the northwest suburb of Beijing as usual, and he and Huang Zhiting each brought dozens of people into the city.

After entering the city, Gao Wushi naturally went to his own mansion, but Huang Zhiting refused to go with him this time, but insisted on going to the Annan Guild Hall. hospital.

The wealthy businessman has been involved in sea trade since last year, operating Susi business, the main route is from Suzhou to Guangzhou, and then from Guangzhou to Golden Port.At a glance, it is clear that this route will inevitably need the care of the Jinghua Nanyang Fleet and a good relationship with the Annan region. Therefore, the news that Annan wants to build a guild hall in the capital has reached his ears, and he will leave this place without saying a word. The hospital took it out.

Of course, the money was still collected, but he only charged a cost price and didn't make a tael of silver.Smart businessmen know that they do not make money at this moment in order to make more money elsewhere.

The Ministry of Rites also sent a member of the Ministry of Rites to ask Huang Zhiting where she planned to live. As the deputy tribute envoy of Annan, the Ministry of Rites is also responsible for arranging accommodation.

Huang Zhiting still insisted on living in the Annan Hall, Gao Wushi couldn't persuade her, and knew that she wanted to avoid rumors, so he had to let her go.

When Gao Yushi returned to his mansion in the southeast corner of Shichahai, he found that there was already someone waiting outside the door.

Wearing a red silk flying fish suit, Chen Ju greeted him with a smile, cupped his hands and said, "Your high school prime minister is fine, our family has been waiting for you for more than an hour."

Gao Wushi had already dismounted when he saw Chen Ju, and at this time he also cupped his hands with a smile and said, "I heard earlier that Brother Wanhua (Chen Ju's character Wanhua) was promoted to the admiral of the East Factory, and he should have come to congratulate him in person, but it's a pity At that time, I was busy fighting..."

"Hey, it's outrageous to say that. To be honest, when you were promoted to Liaofu, our family couldn't go there either. It's all helpless." Chen Ju said with a smile: "Huang Zhangyin happened to be the It’s worth it, I really don’t have time, so he asked our family to apologize to Senior High School Cheng on his behalf.”

It turned out that with the return of Empress Dowager Li and the downfall of Chen Hong, the inner court finally established a new "team" after a long period of time.After Zhu Yijun hesitated for a long time between Huang Mengyu and Chen Ju, he finally chose to let Huang Mengyu take over as the new supervisor of rituals, while Chen Ju took over Dongchang.

However, it may be a kind of balance, or it may be compensation for Chen Ju, the "personal eunuch". Zhu Yijun did not let Chen Ju step down as the imperial eunuch. As a eunuch, Yi Bingbi concurrently served as the two powerful positions of the admiral of the East Factory and the palm seal of the Yuma Supervisor.

The reason for saying "reversing" is because Gao Gong had previously requested that the East Factory and the Yuma Supervisor not be concurrently held by the same person, and this has been implemented for some years.

When this incident happened, Zhang Siwei was actually quite embarrassed, because both Huang Mengyu and Chen Ju were highly pragmatic allies. It destroyed Gao Gong's practice in the past.

In the end, Zhang Siwei had to bite the bullet and express his opposition. Chen Ju himself resigned several times, and then the emperor said that this was only a temporary arrangement. This time the matter was pushed back.

Gao Wushi exchanged a few simple greetings with Chen Ju, and then asked him why he came. Chen Ju smiled and said, "Is it possible to know why our family is here? The emperor is anxious to see you, so let our family wait here. As soon as you arrive, I will take you into the palace to face the Holy Spirit—you can go to the Ministry of War and the Metropolitan Procuratorate tomorrow."
