Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 261 I answer the tribute ([-])
Zhao Zhenji would jump out to question, and Gao Wushi had already guessed this point when he entered the Jiyi Hall. After all, apart from Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao, Zhao Zhenji was the one who was most displeased to see Gao's uncle and nephew going on in this hall. to be favored.

However, Zhang Juzheng's character is not the type of attack in person. Even if he wants to do something, he will do it secretly, and he will not jump out in front of so many people. Deadly style, in his opinion, the current situation may not have reached that point.

After all, no matter what, Gao Gong handled this matter pragmatically, even if he was really investigated, Gao Gong can still say that he didn't know about it.Judging from Long Qing's attitude towards Gao Gong, even if he voluntarily resigned, at most he would be allowed to resign from his part-time job as Minister of the Ministry of Officials in the end.

What's more, although the relationship between Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong has begun to become estranged, with Chen Yiqin's resignation, the cabinet happens to be Li Chunfang and Zhao Zhenji's party to him and Gao Gong's party, two to two. If you get rid of it, won't you put yourself in isolation instead?Then he tried every means to create conditions for Gao Gongqi's recovery, wouldn't he be full?
So Zhang Juzheng not only didn't make a sound, but even frowned slightly. He was a little worried in his heart that Gao Yushi was not particular about his work. influence.

As for Feng Bao, he certainly hoped that Gao Yushi would suffer.As a minister, his attitude towards issues is of course different from that of Zhang Juzheng. He doesn't have to care about whether the cabinet is balanced or not. His purpose is very simple, that is, Gao Gong to step down and leave.As long as Gao Gong leaves, he believes that with his ability, it will not be difficult to get rid of Meng Chong, and the seal of the Supervisor of Rituals will definitely not escape from his palm.

But the problem is that Feng Bao has never dared to underestimate Gao Yushi since he suffered a big loss last time. What's more, Gao Yushi has successfully made Li Guifei feel good about him by relying on the special soap. Taking out [-]% of the profits of Jingshi soap and secretly giving it to Li Wei—this was what was left over after talking with the nobles—so Concubine Li often heard it from Li Wenjin, her younger brother who came to the palace to take care of her. All kinds of good words about high pragmatism have made Feng Bao himself a little worried now. If things go on like this, is she more inclined towards high pragmatism or herself?
Of course, Li Chunfang also has reason to hope that Gao Yushi will make a mistake, but he is a temperless mud Bodhisattva after all. At the beginning, Hai Rui scolded the street and said that all civil and military men in the Manchu Dynasty were women. "Then it seems that I should be an old woman." She was so weak and pragmatic that she never thought that he would jump out to find trouble.As Gao Yushi expected, Li Chunfang didn't respond like an old monk in meditation.

As for the three brothers Zhu Xizhong and Zhang Rong...it's just such a trivial matter, what's the fuss, do you want to share the money together?You know, if this matter is really broken, can the frontier army's smuggling matter be covered?Although the two of them are in charge of the Beijing camp, they are also the governors of the Dudufu of the Five Armies. Although the Dudu doesn't have any real power these days, no matter how he has no real power, the local guards have to listen to the Dudufu. If you offend the frontier guards, which are rare enough to fight a little bit of war, what kind of governors are they going to be?
Zhu Xixiao has always maintained the same opinion with his elder brother. In addition, Jin Yiwei has supervised the frontier army for many years and has never been involved in the smuggling of the frontier army. There is always a reason. , who knows what will happen?As an official, one thing more is worse than one thing less. Naturally, one eye is turned a blind eye and one eye is closed, and it will be fine in the past.

Besides, these three have another reason in mind: the frontier army did not lose their filial piety...

After such a calculation, Gao Wushi of course knew that the only one who could jump out to trouble him was Zhao Zhenji.After all, Zhao Zhenji, whether you say he has a grumpy temper, or whether you say he is a celebrity, he is also a person with his own persistence, not to mention that he is in the same boat as Gao Gongshi, and he is still in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Come out, who jumps out?

It's a pity that Gao Wushi and Meng Chong had already "drilled" his question just now, and now it's nothing more than repeating what they just said.Therefore, the reason for Cao Gan's appearance in the Alta Khan Court became a secret spying incident led by Gao Wushi, with the knowledge and acquiescence of the frontier army and Jin Yiwei.

After hearing this, Long Qing smiled and said to Zhao Zhenji: "Okay, since this matter is a conspiracy planned by all Aiqings, Mr. Zhao needn't worry about it, let's continue the discussion."

But Zhao Zhenji intuitively thought that there was still a problem here, and still refused to let it go, and asked Zhu Xixiao, "Mr. Zhu, you really know about this matter? Jin Yiwei even cooperated with this?"

Zhu Xixiao smiled slightly, nodded his head and said, "That's right, Mr. Zhao Ge, this matter happened as early as... Well, as early as more than three months ago, Gao Shidu secretly informed me. Not only that, Gao Shidu also considered that even if We want to take this opportunity to break into Alta's interior, but we can't significantly increase the power of Alta for the sake of trade. Based on Gao Shidu's suggestion, the materials sold by Bailixia to Alta are mostly precious silk etc., and all kinds of ironware are strictly prohibited..."

"What is the proof?" Zhao Zhenji interrupted with a gloomy expression.

"There is an account book to prove it." Zhu Xixiao still smiled, and said: "Gao Shidu will record the records, value, and exchanged goods of each Bailixia shipment, and each shipment will be sent to Fusi in Beizhen. For the last one, Beizhen Fusi will also send someone to check at the border, if Mr. Zhao Ge doesn't believe it... as long as His Majesty allows it, the next official can order someone to deliver the account immediately."

Although the Metropolitan Procuratorate was full of bullying, Jin Yiwei was the emperor's own army, and was not supervised by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so Zhu Xixiao explicitly added the sentence "as long as His Majesty allows it."

Of course His Majesty will not allow it, but he will not say it directly, but just said with a deadpan expression: "There are accounts, and I will have to look at them some other day."

Zhao Zhenji's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, thinking what's the matter with you, Zhu Xixiao, is this a ship with a determined heart to go to Gao's family?
Zhu Xixiao probably saw the unwillingness on his face, so he couldn't help but smiled again, and continued: "Not only that, the materials Gao Shidu exchanged through Cao Gan's hands are extremely beneficial to my Ming Dynasty."

Zhao Zhenji asked in a deep voice: "How beneficial?"

Zhu Xixiao bowed to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, do you still remember that when the first emperor, I, Da Ming, graciously opened up the horse market to me?" He said he meant "graciousness", but everyone present knew that it was actually forced Yes, so he just raised his mouth, and immediately continued: "But at that time, I would not sell good horses to our Daming, and could only buy a few geldings every year, and the number would not exceed five hundred at most. But, do you all know how many horses Gao Shidu, this servant, brought from Tumochuan for the frontier troops of Xuanfu, Datong, and Shanxi in the past six months?"
