The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Capital Outer City Station.

Wang Jinyi is going through the process of entering Beijing.

It is different from civil servants, common people, and businessmen.

Military generals, especially those who lead soldiers, must first obtain approval to enter the capital. Entering the capital without permission is against the law. In serious cases, demotion is a minor matter, and the head above the head must be moved.

This inn serves as an important checkpoint for entering Beijing.

The area alone is dozens of acres.

There are already over [-] post soldiers.

There is no way, the capital is too prosperous now, and as a post station close to the capital, it is usually the end and starting point of the country's post stations.

Documents from the Ming Dynasty must be sent out through here, and documents submitted from all over the country must also pass through here.

There are also officials coming and going, all the same.

This is also the place where the general office of the post office is located.

In the past six years, it has been continuously expanding and recruiting people.

There are still many craftsmen building houses in the surrounding area.

According to the latest laws of the Ming Dynasty, people can also pay a certain amount of money to live in the rooms divided into inns, including accommodation, food, supplies, trading, etc.

From a certain perspective, it is actually similar to the service area of ​​a highway in later generations.

The post station, which had been constantly draining the Ming Dynasty's treasury, had turned a profit in just three years after such reforms.

Not only can the postmen be self-sufficient in salary, but the revenue of some big city post offices is even higher than that of many lower and middle counties.

In the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the capital's residence newspaper, there were also official newspapers.

The content of official newspapers mainly covers the appointment and dismissal of officials from various places within the Ming Dynasty, their political achievements, influence, personal deeds, etc.

After the reform of the post stations, the official newspaper announced rewards for those inns that generated their own revenue. Not only did the postmen receive a large amount of rewards, but the postmasters were also upgraded.

In the official newspaper, the detailed process of how to create revenue, divide official and civilian areas, and trade markets was also described in detail.

Therefore, the post stations in the Ming Dynasty, especially those on the commercial roads, began to reform one after another.

Not all inns can make money. For example, inns in remote areas still need subsidies from the court to maintain.

But in the end, the court was already making money.

The income from the inn will be taxed by the court, rather than left to the individual.

For now, the inns are all government-run and state-owned, and there is no permission for private operation yet.

For example, this Capital Inn is no longer much different from a city.

There are businessmen, people, and officials coming and going.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation are all available here.

The overall planning is like a Jiangnan garden. When many people come here, they think they have arrived directly in Nanjing city.

In fact, he didn’t even reach the outer city.

"There are too many people here." Amyra's eyes were full of little stars.

His eyes were wandering around, looking here and there.

She originally thought that Uzzandu Sicheng was already very prosperous, but when she arrived at the Capital Inn this time, she realized how low her horizons were.

If she hadn't been passing through the inn, she would have felt like she was in Nanjing.

"Sister, I heard that the capital has the most talents. This place is just a checkpoint. When you get to the capital, you will see the most prosperous place in the world. I really want to see it soon." Ibaidi said longingly.

Queen Aida next to her touched the heads of the two girls with a smile on her lips.

She was also shocked by the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, or in other words, everyone in the world would be like this when they came here.

At this moment, Aida felt like she didn't want to leave.

She saw a lot of rouge, gouache, silk and satin, and various accessories.

But she didn't buy it.

Because they didn't bring much money, the total amount was less than [-] guan banknotes.

To spend money here, you can only exchange it for treasure banknotes.

However, Aida took a look at the things she liked, and there were only a few dozen or so, but she couldn't afford them at all.

This time I came to the capital with Wang Jinyi, so my accommodation and meals were free of charge.

Otherwise, their own money may not be enough for travel expenses.

The mother and daughter were wandering around the market, accompanied by several soldiers guarding them.

Even though their faces could not be seen clearly under the veil, the beautiful figures of the mother and daughter still attracted a lot of attention.

Many wealthy businessmen have some vague ideas in their minds.

But when I saw the soldiers next to me, I could only sigh.

However, businessmen did not dare to do so, while literati were more courageous.

In the distant attic, a gaze never left.

"Brother Wenjie, this is the first time I've seen you so fascinated. If it hadn't been like this, we would have thought that Brother Wen was not a womanizer."

After saying that, several people next to him burst into laughter.

Hearing this, Zhang Wenjie replied without moving his eyes: "Food, sex, and so on. I am an ordinary person. How can I not be close to women? How can those vulgar and vulgar beauties in the past be compared with this stunning beauty."

"If I guess correctly, the three women should be mother and daughter, and the two daughters should be twins."

Zhang Wenjie's words immediately aroused the interest of people around him.

"Twins, this is rare. Could Brother Wenjie be tricking us? They are all wearing veils." Some people didn't believe it.

Zhang Wenjie smiled and said: "This is easy to handle. I'll go down right away and let them lift the veil so you can take a good look at it to see if what I said is accurate."

After saying that, Zhang Wenjie was about to get up.

Someone immediately stopped him.

"Brother Wenjie, please don't come to your senses. There are soldiers following behind. Look at this attire. They are not post soldiers. We'd better find out the details first."

Zhang Wenjie said nonchalantly: "There's a reason for this. I'm not doing anything inappropriate, just making friends."

"Most of the people who come here are going to the capital. If you don't know for sure, you can ask me for help."

Several of them are second-generation officials.

The elders in the family are basically important officials of the imperial court, otherwise they would not be able to play together.

It's just that the emperor has strict laws under his feet. Even so, they don't dare to be too reckless and bring disaster to their family.

After Zhang Wenjie finished speaking, he went straight downstairs.

Several people who were traveling with him also got up and followed him.

They also want to see the face under the veil.

Zhang Wenjie was so bold that he walked directly in front of the mother and daughter, bowed and said, "I'm Zhang Wenjie. From a distance, the three of you are astonished. I wonder if you can have a drink together."

Amyra and Ibaidi cannot understand Chinese.

Amyra asked: "Queen Mother, what did he say when he stopped us?"

Aida replied: "It's nothing, he's just a coward."

The conversation between mother and daughter was not hidden. Zhang Jiewen was stunned. He did not expect that the other party did not understand Chinese.

He just passed him and had no intention of paying any attention to him.

The companions laughed, making Zhang Wenjie feel very embarrassed.

He immediately ordered his servants: "Go to the inn immediately to find some translators for me."

A companion reminded: "The words just spoken must be in Turkic language, probably from the Western Regions."

The servant hurried to find a translator who understood Turkic.

There are a large number of translators at the inn. Basically, translators from all over the world can be found, and most foreign businessmen basically understand Chinese.

Zhang Wenjie wanted to follow him, but was stopped by soldiers who came out and shouted.

When a scholar encounters a soldier, Zhang Wenjie will naturally not suffer the immediate loss.

The soldier also knew that the person he was facing must have some background, and he didn't want to offend him, so he ignored him when he saw the other person stop.

Zhang Wenjie was unwilling to give in. After the translator arrived, he sent someone to inquire and found that the other party was having dinner in a restaurant.

He chased after him again.

But this time, Wang Jinyi came.

Wang Jinyi was talking to his mother and daughter about entering Beijing when he heard a soldier report that someone was asking for a meeting.

"Someone I wanted to strike up a conversation with at the market earlier." Soldier Report reported.

Wang Jinyi sneered: "It's really like a knife on the head of the word lust, tell him to get away."

Zhang Wenjie, who was waiting outside the private room, did not expect to be driven away by soldiers.

He couldn't help but said: "My father's guest in the Rites Department, the Qing Dynasty official, is a doctor, how dare you treat me so rudely."

In the private room, Wang Jinyi, who heard the sound, smiled and said, "This is a coincidence."

Then the soldiers were asked to let Zhang Wenjie in.

Zhang Wenjie thought it was his father's reputation that played a role. He had just lost face and was planning to get it back here.

"May I ask how you address me?" Zhang Wenjie felt nervous when he saw Wang Jinyi's official uniform.

Unexpectedly, there was still a Qianhu there.

This is the same level as his father.

However, Zhang Wenjie is not false. Beijing officials are naturally of a higher rank than local officials, and the other party does not know whether the title is real or false.

"My Excellency, Wang Jinyi, is the Commander-in-Chief of the Uzangdu Division. I just heard from the Young Master that your father is the chief guest of the Ministry of Rites, the Chief of Staff of the Qing Dynasty?" Wang Jinyi asked with a smile, as if he was not at all embarrassed by asking someone to drive him away just now.

Zhang Wenjie's momentum weakened by another three points.

It turned out to be a border army or a commander.

Calculated this way, he is almost the same as his father.

Nowadays, the imperial court attaches great importance to military affairs.

Border army commanders pay more attention to three points than the civil servants in the capital.This is considered a setback.

"My father is indeed a doctor in the Ministry of Rites." At this time, Zhang Wenjie just wanted to leave.

No matter how good the beauty is, she must be able to get her.

Wang Jinyi smiled and did not target Zhang Wenjie.

Just when he was worried about how to build relationships, the son of a doctor who happened to be in charge of the Foreign Minister of the Ministry of Rites showed up.

As the commander of Uzangdu Division, he had no way to contact Taisun directly under non-military circumstances.

Especially things like dedicating a princess.

It is tantamount to going beyond the procedures and rules.

It is not a good thing for a military general to do this.

Wang Jinyi gestured to Aida, and then introduced to Zhang Wenjie: "This is the queen of the Huhu King of the Western Regions, and the two next to her are the princesses of the Huhu Kingdom."

"This time Huhu State presented two princesses to His Highness Taisun. Fortunately, His Highness Taisun summoned them to participate in the commendation ceremony, so they came along to escort them."

"My father was originally responsible for presenting the princess. It was just a coincidence."

Zhang Wenjie was sweating all over while listening.

What is he doing, plotting against His Highness the Grandson's future concubine?

Nowadays, there are many small countries, and many countries want to donate their princesses to their grandsons.

In this regard, there were rumors that the grandson was lustful, but Zhang Wenjie knew clearly that he once heard from his father that the grandson had no interest in the matter of the princess of all nations.

There was a time when the roster was called, but Taisun called back without even looking at it.

"This matter." Zhang Wenjie hesitated and wanted to refuse.

However, under Wang Jinyi's slightly amused gaze, he was forcefully swallowed back.

He suddenly realized that he had been trapped.

The key point is that he forced himself into it.

If you refuse, then Wang Jinyi in front of you can directly read his book.

The imperial court impeached him for teasing the princess of the Western Region Kingdom who was offered to his grandson.

If this happens, not to mention myself, even my father may be implicated.

It is not the grandson's business, but doing so is a grave sin of disobedience.

"Commander Wang, don't worry, I will take care of this matter. I will definitely report it to my father when I return to the capital."

Zhang Wenjie has no way out now.

Seeing this, Wang Jinyi smiled and said: "Then I have to thank Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang, can we have some dinner together?"

Zhang Wenjie said quickly: "No, no, I've already eaten."

"It's still early today, I'll go directly to the city later."

Naturally, Zhang Wenjie would not stay. He could see clearly that when Wang Jinyi said this, he was holding a tea cup.

He still understands the meaning of serving tea to guests.

After Zhang Wenjie left, Wang Jinyi smiled and said to Queen Aida: "It took no effort to get it. The matter is settled."

Aida stood up and bowed slightly: "Thank you, sir."

Wang Jinyi waved his hand: "No need to thank me, this guy sent it here himself."

"Once you enter the city, I will take you to Tianjie Temple. When the time comes, you will directly report the name of Dr. Zhang. The Ministry of Rites will make appropriate arrangements."

"By the way, after entering the Tianjie Temple, the queen and princess no longer need to cover their faces with veils. There, the more beautiful you are, the more people will fear you."

Wang Jinyi has never been to Tianjie Temple, but he knows that envoys from all countries gather there, and many things can easily reach His Majesty the Grandson.

Trying to seduce another country's princess in Tianjie Temple is no different than courting death.

It may even affect your own country.

The mother and daughter thanked each other again and again. They thought they would have a lot of twists and turns in their lives, but now it is much simpler.

I don’t say it will definitely work, but at least it will no longer be the headless fly it was before.

Zhang Wenjie, on his side, didn't care about his previous companions after leaving the door.

He went directly to the inn to rent a carriage and went straight to his home.

evening.

Seeing Zhang, doctor Zhang, frowned and reprimanded his son for coming back in such a hurry: "How old are you to be so impatient?"

Zhang Wenjie knelt down and kowtowed: "Father, I have caused trouble."

Before Zhang Jian could reprimand him, he suddenly panicked when he saw his son acting like this.

Not caring about scolding anymore, he hurriedly said: "Tell me in detail what is going on."

Zhang Wenjie did not dare to delay and quickly recounted what happened during the day.

After Zhang Jian heard me, he scolded me repeatedly: "You are confused, you are confused. You always sneer at me when I ask you to have more contact with other ladies. Now that you have provoked the great grandson, you are going to bring disaster to my Zhang family." ."

"How could I have given birth to such a wicked son like you? You are a sinner."

Zhang Jian was furious. He looked around and saw nothing convenient. He grabbed the teacup and hit Zhang Wenjie hard on his body.

Of course, he still paid attention and didn't hit him on the head. After all, this was his eldest son no matter what.

Such a scene seemed a bit exaggerated to Zhang Jian.

Actually it is not.

Zhang Jian was not worried that the queen and princess would complain. Judging from what happened later, Wang Jinyi's words meant that he wanted to ask him to help introduce her.

Handing this to the roster seems to be a matter of responsibility for Zhang Jian, the doctor.

However, Zhang Jian was worried that someone would use this matter to attack him.

This is tantamount to giving one more handle to one's political opponents.

From Zhu Ying's point of view, he was just a doctor, a fifth-grade official, not even qualified to talk to him.

But as far as the Ming Dynasty is concerned, this is different. If you are in the fifth rank, you are already an important minister of the imperial court.

There is no harmony among bureaucracies.

Although it is forbidden to report rumors, if there is evidence, no one would be willing to get one.

At the fifth level, it is already very important.

Zhang Jian knew in his heart that as long as this news spread, someone would definitely use this matter to impeach him.

When it comes to things like His Highness the Grandson or teasing the Concubine, his attempts are over.

Taisun naturally won't care. At this level, he won't end up personally.

But many of the people below want to serve the grandson.

At that time, even colleagues and friends would not dare to come and help.

The Sacred Heart is unpredictable, who knows whether the grandson cares or not.

If you do it the way you care, you won't go wrong anyway.

"Now, go and guard me at the Zhengyang Gate. The princess of the Western Regions comes over and arranges to go to Tianjie Temple immediately."

"Remember, this matter must not be leaked. Wang Jinyi is from the border army, so he will not come to impeach me. He is helping the Queen of the Western Regions, and I think he has something to ask for."

"As long as the word doesn't spread, then there won't be any problems."

"Remember, you personally guard the Princess of the Western Region and don't let anyone know their identity."

Zhang Jian said calmly.

He considers every aspect in detail.

Zhang Wenjie hesitated and said: "Except for those few friends, no one else knows my identity."

"They definitely won't say anything. The Station Department didn't report it, so they probably don't know either."

Snapped!
Zhang Jian slapped Zhang Wenjie straight on the face.

Zhang Wenjie was stunned.

Zhang Jian scolded angrily: "You idiot, idiot, the one who wants to mess with your father and me is your so-called friends and their fathers, do you think they are someone else?"

"Perhaps they will tell it as a joke after they return, but once the identity of the princess of the Western Regions spreads, these people will have a handle on me."

"For the current plan, we can only hide the news about the Princess of the Western Regions first, and then quickly report it to His Highness the Grand Sun."

"As long as they enter the palace before, it will be difficult for this matter to spread again."

"Even if there are some rumors, it's not a big deal."

Only then did Zhang Wenjie wake up.

Indeed, the ones with real interests are those of my close friends.

If their father falls, they will have the most fun eating.

Zhang Jian said: "Tell me carefully, are those two princesses from the Western Regions really stunningly beautiful?"

Zhang Jian knew his son's temperament and had no regard for vulgar people. He would not even go to a brothel on weekdays.

The two princesses from the Western Regions must be extremely beautiful if they act like this this time.

Zhang Wenjie shrank his head and replied: "They wore veils, and I didn't see their true faces."

Zhang Jian heard this and raised his hand to strike, but he took it back.

He could only say helplessly: "The commander of Wang Jinyi's army will personally escort him. It will definitely be fine. Now that things have happened, there is no other choice."

"Why are you still standing there, why don't you hurry up and pick someone up?"

Zhang Wenjie trembled with fright and hurriedly stumbled out the door. As soon as he left the lobby, he tripped over the threshold.

He didn't care, he got up and ran away.

Seeing that Zhang was not idle, he immediately called the servants in the mansion.

"Prepare the car and go to Tianjie Temple immediately."

He had to go and take charge in person. He might as well sleep directly in the yamen tonight to prevent possible accidents.

If you are not careful, you will step into the abyss.
