Chapter 920 Your Majesty, a Rare Opportunity

In the West Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace, two young monarchs and ministers were sitting opposite each other, both of them looked very dignified—or to put it simply, they were extremely ugly.

On the ground there was a teacup that had been broken into pieces. The porcelain was the finest Yu porcelain (Jun porcelain), a royal tribute product produced by Jinghua porcelain, which was just dropped by Zhu Yijun gnashing his teeth.

Although Zhu Yijun was young, he was taught by great Confucian scholars and academic masters, so his usual skills in nourishing Qi are not bad, which can make him throw a cup in anger, which shows the seriousness of the situation.

But as Gao Wushi said, although he yelled when he was extremely angry: "The family of copper stinks, how dare you deceive me!" But in the end he didn't say that he wanted to ransack the Liang family and exterminate the whole family.

But after getting angry, he asked Gao Yushi with red eyes: "How should I explain to Yao Yao? Be pragmatic, you have the most ideas, what do you think I should do now?" No outsiders, in front of Gao Yushi, Zhu Yijun even " I'm too lazy to say.

Gao Yushi's face was serious, and he said coldly: "If the emperor wants the Liang family to pay the price, this matter is easy to handle. The emperor does not need to come forward, and the minister can solve it with an order."

Zhu Yijun asked, "How do you solve it?"

Gao Wushi snorted coldly, and said: "The minister has already asked, the reason why the Liang family was able to bribe the inner court officials is because his family is one of the richest men in the capital, and at least [-]% of the Husi Su embroidery from the south of the Yangtze River is from His distribution."

Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said, "I know this. That guy Chen Hong boasted so much about it that the queen mother was very satisfied. He only thought that since the Liang family is rich, Yao's wife won't be a widow in the future."

As I said before, if the princess and her son-in-law want to meet, it is impossible not to bribe the female officials who are in charge of the princess, and it takes money, a lot of money, to bribe these people. The Empress Dowager Li is obviously aware of this situation.So if the Liang family had money, this kind of thing would be easier to handle.

Gao Wushi shook his head and said, "Although the Liang family's wealth can be considered rich, the cash that his family can take out is actually limited."

"Oh? Why?" Zhu Yijun was taken aback for a moment.

Gao Wushi said indifferently: "Because of the relationship with Tianjin Port, the amount of silk and silk from Jiangnan brought to the capital is now more than one year. If his family wants to maintain a [-]% ratio, they can only increase investment year after year. , cash is naturally tight."

Zhu Yijun frowned and said, "But don't they get richer if they sell more? And how do you deal with them?"

"It's very easy for me to deal with them, as long as I increase the port fee for those Jiangnan merchants who supply his family."

"Increase port commission?" Zhu Yijun frowned: "What do you mean by that?"

Gao Wushi said: "For example, if someone else sells a cargo, the port will charge [-]%, but if you sell the goods to the Liang family, I insist on taking [-]%. Your Majesty, do you think these merchants will come to the minister for an explanation?"

"Then it must come, needless to say?" Zhu Yijun said: "And then?"

"Then I asked them to stop supplying." Gao Wushi spread his hands: "Even if these merchants say that they suddenly stop supplying to Liang's family, they won't be able to find a buyer for a while, but that's okay--Chen according to Liang's Just buy those goods at the original price.”

Of course Gao Yushi has the financial resources, and Zhu Yijun has no doubts about this, but he still asked, "Wouldn't it cost you a lot of money?"

Gao Wushi shook his head and said: "How could it be? I also have a shop in the capital, and the emperor also has an imperial shop. Are you afraid that the fine silks and silks you bought will not be sold? What about some profits, where is the extra money?"

He paused slightly, and said again: "But if this happens, the Liang family will be miserable - Jinghua's actions are obviously aimed at targeting the Liang family, and there may not be many other businessmen who dare to deal with his family. In addition, his family's main business is out of stock, how long can it be sold with inventory alone? If the inventory is sold out, the dozen or so silk and satin shops and tailor shops in his family can only be closed. A day or two is not a big problem. How about two months? Is this business still possible?"

After hearing his explanation, Zhu Yijun couldn't understand, so he became happy at the time, and quickly said: "Okay, this is a good idea. Jinghua crushed the Liang family in the mall, and people in the world can't say anything about me."

But he paused for a moment, and then said: "But it will be a bit slow if this thing is going to happen. If I want to vent my anger right away..."

Gao Wushi spread his hands and said: "The emperor can't kill the entire Liang family, and I don't have such power - if I say that I can send servants to kill people, I can do it, but in that case, what is the difference between this minister and Ling Yunyi from the previous year?" ?”

Zhu Yijun sighed, and said bitterly: "Then we can only let this family of thieves live longer, hum!"

Gao Wushi shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, if you want to vent your anger, you don't necessarily have to go to the Liang family. Of course the Liang family deserves to die in this matter, but there is another person who deserves the same death, or even more."

Zhu Yijun was silent for a while, and asked slowly: "You mean...Chen Hong?"

"That's right, it's Chen Hong." Gao Wushi's eyes were fixed, he looked into Zhu Yijun's eyes, and said word by word: "Besides, Chen Hongruo's death is another rare opportunity for the emperor."

Zhu Yijun frowned and thought: "Opportunity? What opportunity?"

Gao Wushi took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Let the two palaces feel at ease in the harem, and the emperor Chen Gang's arbitrary opportunity."

"Hiss!" Zhu Yijun gasped, looked around, and said in a low voice, "What are you talking about! The Queen Mother of the Two Palaces is my mother..."

"Your majesty." Gao Yushi was so bold that he interrupted the emperor's words directly, and said solemnly: "In the past, the emperor was young. Although the two palaces were not named as regents, they were actually regents. Fortunately, the third uncle of the minister, Gao Wenzhenggong, and the former prime minister Guo Duke Anyang's two assistant ministers assisted with all their heart. Although the two palaces are regents, after all, they can't intervene in political affairs too much, and the country's affairs are finally orderly.

However, Duke Gao Wenzheng passed away, and Duke Guo Anyang became an official. Although Duke Zhang, the chief minister, has followed his legacy, there is one point that he is not as good as the two of them. "

Zhang Siwei is a highly pragmatic uncle. He actually said that his uncle was not as good as his third uncle and teacher. Zhu Yijun couldn't help being surprised, and asked, "Which point?"

"Mr. Zhang of Puzhou is not a Minister of Guming." Gao Wushi looked into the emperor's eyes and said calmly: "After Guo Anyang became an official, the imperial court no longer has a minister of Guming."

"Oh, that's true." Zhu Yijun nodded.

"Your Majesty, there is a reason why Mr. Guo Anyang became an official. You seem to have never understood the deep meaning of it."

Zhu Yijun frowned and said, "Oh? What's the meaning?"

"He is the last Gu Mingfu minister. If he hadn't fulfilled the late emperor's last wish, how could he ask to resign? In other words, when he took office, the regent of the two empress dowagers should have ended—but why did Yongning grow up?" The Empress Dowager Cisheng sent someone to take charge of the princess's wedding, but the emperor was not allowed to intervene? Your majesty, the two palaces are definitely the Holy Mother, but the state system is not a joke. It is taboo for the harem to interfere in politics, regardless of seniority or closeness. "

PS: I sat down in front of the computer and fell asleep after writing the second update yesterday. As a result, when I went to the hospital today, my aunt’s blood pressure was too high and she couldn’t be operated on. I went back before dinner... This operation has come to my city four times I haven't done it yet, and every time I run around as a royal driver, I wait for a whole day, and now my brain is numb... But my aunt has been very good to me since I was a child, so I can't say anything.Now I have more understanding of Gao Wushi's mood when facing Zhang Siwei...
