Jinyi champion

Chapter 940 The Bride Is Not You

"The robbers in Zhejiang are in chaos, why do you want to come to the capital to investigate?"

Huang Jin was a little puzzled, and looked back at the entourage standing beside him.

The retinue quickly explained: "Regarding the disaster caused by the Japanese people in the south of the Yangtze River fighting for tribute, the leader fled to the sea. It is said that he has been captured by the vassal Korea. He is about to be escorted to the capital and handed over to Jinyiwei for investigation."

Huang Jin said: "This matter has been forewarned in advance. Why didn't the Japanese rebellion be prevented in the end? It shouldn't be. It seems that Zhu Qianhu will stay in the capital for a while."

Zhu Wanhong said respectfully, "Yes."

Huang Jin nodded: "The Zhu family is full of loyalty, and Zhu Qianhu works hard in Beijing. There are many places where he will be loyal to the country in the future. Go and do things."

After hearing such comments, Zhu Wanhong thought to himself, I can understand the loyalty of the whole family, but where is Ke Lie?It may be that the third child is devoted to the country, and now it seems that he can represent our entire Zhu family with one room.

After Zhu Wanhong took the order to retire, Chen Yin, who had a close relationship with Huang Jin, came over to salute Zhu Wanhong, and Chen Yin asked casually, "Eunuch Huang, this Zhu Qianhu, will he stay in the capital for calling in the future? He is... Relatives of Mr. Zhu."

Huang Jin said: "Zhu's family, you just need to pay attention to it at ordinary times. If you don't want to stay, you and I need to care about such things? But speaking of it, I said earlier that you have the opportunity to take charge of Jinyiwei, or at least let you guard Beizhenfu." Secretary, it seems to be a bit troublesome now, it depends on whether you can satisfy His Majesty. It's time for Jin Yiwei to get some oil and water."

"This……"

Chen Yin looked very embarrassed.

Although the group of Xingwang Mansion took over Jinyiwei for more than two years, and they have relatively stable financial resources, but if they want to satisfy the emperor's lion, they think they don't have the strength.

Huang Jin suddenly thought of something, and patted Chen Yin on the shoulder: "The capital can't win the situation here, so you can give Nanjing a proper boost... Stay away from the center of the capital's imperial court, and there may be more opportunities to make money. Take care of yourself. "

"Understood." Chen Yin cupped his fists.

He thought about it for a while, maybe through Zhu Wanhong's relationship, to see if he could get money back from Nanjing Jinyiwei to help him get into position.

……

……

In the theater.

Zhu Hao was watching a play with Zhang Zuo, and Zhu Hao's "Military Advisor" Lou Suzhen was sitting beside him.Zhang Zuo was not surprised when he saw Lou Suzhen, because Lou Suzhen has been in the limelight recently, running the arsenal in an orderly manner, like Zhu Hao's right-hand man, and has now become a well-known figure in the Xingwang Palace.

The seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's gate, and Lou Suzhen is Zhu Hao's personal staff, so Zhang Zuo should be polite when he sees Lou Suzhen.

Zhang Zuo conveyed the emperor's selection method for the new commander of Jinyiwei, and at the same time expressed the meaning that Huang Jin can also be replaced.

Zhu Haodao: "Factory guards involve the Ming Dynasty's system, such a big event, I really shouldn't be involved as a foreign minister."

Zhang Zuo hurriedly said: "How can you be considered an outsider? Your Majesty has a lot of trust, and all the subordinates in the Xingwang Mansion also regard you as the leader... However, Your Majesty wants to use Dongchang and Jinyiwei to raise money. From our point of view, it is not the case. It's easy, and it's not a big deal to gather thousands of taels a year, but if there are more..."

Dongchang and Jinyiwei have such a large family business, but they can only raise tens of thousands of taels a year for the emperor, and the emperor will definitely be dissatisfied.

Who made the little emperor short of money now?

"Eunuch Zhang, there are many capable people in Jinyiwei. I mean, in terms of accumulating wealth, the people in the factory guard during the Zhengde period had a lot of skills. Maybe let them try?" Zhu Hao said.

"what?"

Zhang Zuo couldn't tell for a while whether what Zhu Hao said was right or irony.

Zhu Haodao: "I know that Eunuch Zhang wants me to persuade His Majesty not to be tempted by the factory guard for profit, but there are some things that are beyond the control of the courtiers... The ministers of the court are now strictly restricting the expenditure of the inner government. The money is not transferred, His Majesty wants to open up the situation, and the courtiers should worry about the king's worries."

"Then... how should we do it?"

Zhang Zuo suddenly felt that his brain was not enough.

Zhu Hao leaned over and said in a low voice: "If the factory guards collect money openly, there will inevitably be conflicts with the ministers of the court. At this time, it is necessary to pass on the conflict. Sometimes a few cruel officials are used to let them do something wrong, and later they will really catch the people in the factory guards When you are a black sheep, can't you take it out on business?

"The speaker has a goal, and His Majesty can mention a few to let people vent their anger. The factory guard also met His Majesty's needs and accumulated a lot of wealth... Everyone is happy."

When Zhang Zuo heard this, a smile appeared on his face.

At this moment, he accurately grasped Zhu Hao's solution.

Zhang Zuo asked with a smile: "Then what Mr. Zhu means is that you should collect money or you should collect money. Some unscrupulous people can also be used to make them bear the infamy?"

"It's not to bear the infamy, or it's used to sow hatred. This requires a certain degree of control. I heard that there are two people in Jinyiwei, both of whom are from hundreds of households. They are good at raising money. Why don't they come out to do activities..." Zhu Haodao.

"Who?"

Zhang Zuo was puzzled.

Jin Yiwei still has money-making experts, but it is known by a busy person like Zhu Hao?

Zhu Haodao: "One is Wang Bangqi and the other is Zhang Jin. These two have always had a bad reputation, and they are not direct descendants of our Xing Palace."

Zhang Zuo suddenly became enlightened, and he was almost full of praise: "Let them come out to collect money, and we will collect the money, and if something happens, we will push them to death... No, it is responsible, or you are smart, Mr. Zhu. Then our family will arrange it. .”

……

……

Zhang Zuo left happily.

After they left, Lou Suzhen approached and poured Zhu Hao a cup of tea.

"Has Madam left yet?"

Zhu Hao said with a smile, "Before I kept silent, I thought Madam went back early in the morning."

Lou Suzhen smiled and said, "Didn't the young master intentionally let the concubine listen beside me?"

Zhu Hao said: "How come? There are so many secrets in Jinyiwei, so we should try our best not to let outsiders know..."

She said so, but Lou Suzhen also knew that Zhu Hao had let her hear it on purpose, otherwise Zhu Hao really wouldn't be able to detect if there were more than one person in the room?

"Young Master, you don't really want the factory guards to do anything wrong, do you? If the Ming factory guards don't follow the rules, I'm afraid it will attract criticism and damage your majesty's reputation. And if you use cruel officials, there will be many troubles out of thin air."

Lou Suzhen couldn't understand, how could Zhu Hao give Zhang Zuo such a "bad idea" when he was upright?
Zhu Hao said with a smile: "The ideal way of governing the country in the literati's eyes is different from the way in the eyes of the king... what the literati hope is that everyone will follow the rules, everything will follow the established rules, and pay attention to the law. But for the king, the law It is the most difficult to abide by, because they themselves are above the law, and those who make the law have the same ideas as those who need to be restricted by the law?"

Lou Suzhen was shrewd, seemed to understand something, and asked: "So, the young master thinks that the concubine's thoughts are too naive?"

Zhu Haodao: "From the moment your Majesty wants to use the factory guards to make money, and then look at this matter with the eyes of a literati, the contradiction cannot be resolved. It is useless to rely on advice alone. For the emperor's staff like me, I can only change the angle and try to look at this matter from the standpoint of the king. I am a person who is bound by the law, but I have to think about the person who made the law. Do you think I feel better?"

"Ah."

After all, Lou Suzhen was not an ordinary person, her former husband was the number one traitor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Hao's words were difficult for others to understand, but they were easy for Lou Suzhen to accept.

"Ma'am, this show is not bad, let Mr. Tang watch it later."

Zhu Hao never forgets to match this old lover.

Lou Suzhen rolled Zhu Hao's eyes, and said coquettishly, "My lord, can we not mention someone else at this time?"

"Ok?"

When did Tang Yin become someone else?

It seems that Lou Suzhen is really... indifferent to Tang Yin.

But Zhu Hao actually understood it long ago, if Tang Yin and Lou Suzhen were really lovers and concubines, they wouldn't be able to get along as friends after so many years.

"My lord, there's something you don't know about, right? Mr. Tang is going to be reunited soon." Lou Suzhen suddenly mentioned.

"what?"

Zhu Hao really didn't know.

Obviously, the woman Lou Suzhen called "continuing strings" was not herself.

Zhu Hao was even more surprised, what is Tang Yin going to do?
Lou Suzhen said: "My lord, you said that he will have disasters and catastrophes this year, especially when the new year is approaching. He has been lonely and helpless for the past few years, and he can't always be alone, so he wants to continue to be happy and choose a marriage partner. She is the daughter of a wealthy family in Gusu, who once supported her when she was in distress...the wedding date is set in the near future."

"This... madam, what do you think?" Zhu Hao looked embarrassed.

This is really the groom married, the bride is not you?
Then I worked so hard to rescue people and help you for so many years, what is it for?
Tang Yin, you are very unreliable, do you know that?
Lou Suzhen said with a smile: "To Mr. Tang, my concubine is just a friend. From the very beginning, my concubine said this to the young master. Mr. Tang's ambition is noble, but he never bothered about official affairs. Sometimes the young master treats him or It was forced."

Blame me?
I helped Tang Yin obtain his current fame and status, but you said I forced him?It doesn't make sense, that's it.

"Madam, your future..."

Zhu Hao was also a little anxious.

Tang Yin is married, so Lou Suzhen won't be Tang Yin's concubine, right?Or have you been by Tang Yin's side without a name?Does Tang Yin match?

Lou Suzhen looked at Zhu Hao with a smile, and said, "Didn't the young master take in the concubine? The concubine has always been working for the young master. Could it be that the young master dislikes the concubine's uselessness and is going to let the concubine fend for itself?"

"Ma'am, if you speak seriously, don't you think about the rest of your life?"

Zhu Hao also gave Lou Suzhen a supercilious look.

Lou Suzhen put away her smile and said with a serious face: "I have experienced too many things in the first half of my life, and I want to live a mediocre life in the second half. As long as I can live in peace in the future, why must I be attached to a man? Of course, the son is Exception! You don’t need to worry about your concubine, you still think about your own affairs, which are more important than anything else, a confidante... For you, it should be what you want in life.”
