At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the competition for the deer in the world

"First, tell the Kong family that I intend to choose one of Kong You and Kong Wen to be the Holy Duke of the Ming Dynasty, and order them to set off immediately to Nanjing to study at the Ming Academy. This time, it will be Gong Bosui. I will personally take one hundred of my guards to supervise this matter. If the Nankong family blocks it, you should know what to do, right?"

Gong Bo then nodded solemnly: "I obey the order."

"Second, order Li Wen of the Jiande Jinyi Guard Qianhu to conduct a strict investigation on Kong Ren and Kong Shou. If these two violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty, capture them immediately and bring them to Nanjing City for interrogation by the Criminal Department."

Everyone in Qinzheng Hall was shocked.

Gong Bo then responded immediately without any hesitation: "I obey the order."

"Third, bring Kong You and Kong Wen's parents to Nanjing City, saying that I need to know more about their children in order to consider the candidates for Duke Yansheng. For now, let's use this reason!"

Gong Bosui: "I obey the order!"

"Using these three points I mentioned, draft the edict and write it down. Then you can go to Jiande with the edict in person!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After Cheng De handled the matter, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he looked at everyone, "That's it for the matter of Yan Shenggong. I don't want anyone to take this matter in the future and resort to death at every turn. If someone wants to become famous for this in the future, I will But I am happy to fulfill his wish - to put him to death."

Everyone was stunned and no one objected.

"I'm a little tired."

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Lian and others said one after another: "I'll take my leave!"

Cheng De waved his hand.

Song Lian and others withdrew from Qinzheng Hall.

Qinzheng Hall returned to silence.

"Cheng Ru, please tell me that from now on, King Qin and Princess Ning will be raised by Queen Kunning Palace."

Cheng Ru quickly responded: "I obey the order!"

Afterwards, Cheng Ru retreated.

Cheng De thought to himself: Sister Yan, I will treat our children well from now on.

Cheng De abandoned the distracting thoughts in his mind and reinvested in handling government affairs.

Even with the help of cabinet members, there are still a lot of government affairs.

Especially since he took over all the territory owned by Chen Youliang, the amount of government affairs he handles has doubled.

Ugh.

If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.

at this time.

The guard outside the door reported: "Your Majesty, Master Shen wants to see you."

Cheng De paused.

"Let him in!"

"Yes!"

next moment.

A figure appeared in front of Cheng De.

The man lowered his head and did not dare to look at Cheng De.

"Shen Wansan pays homage to His Majesty!" Shen Wansan bowed and saluted.

Cheng De looked at Shen Wansan, "What does Mr. Shen have to see me for?"

Shen Wansan still didn't raise his head, "Your Majesty, Shen Wansan knows that he was wrong. Please spare your Majesty the Concubine Xian."

Cheng De glanced at Shen Wansan coldly.

"My Concubine Yan, did those assassins spare her?"

When Shen Wansan heard this, his face turned pale and his whole body trembled.

"I have always treated my concubine well. An elder brother is like my father. Your concubine respects you, so I followed her wishes and gave you the title of father-in-law. But, what did you do?"

"Concubine Xian was imprisoned by me for three months. All of this is because of you."

"Also, the reason why I confine Concubine Xian for three months is to let her reflect and reflect. As the owner of Xianfang Palace, even the people below her are not taken care of. The mouths of the people below are like funnels. You How can I feel comfortable letting her continue to be the master of Xianfang Palace?"

When Shen Wansan heard this, he kept wiping his cold sweat with his long gown and felt his eyes go dark.

"Your Majesty, all this is because the Concubine Xian is too kind." Before Shen Wansan could finish speaking, Cheng De said, "Kindness? This kind of kindness will harm her sooner or later."

"A few servants can put her in the situation she is in now. If I take concubines in the future, won't this harem be in chaos?"

"Also, if Concubine Xian doesn't change her temper, I'm worried that Di'er will be poisoned by others in the future."

"There are many people in the palace and I don't want that one day, their mother and son will be plotted by others and I will be in a dilemma."

Shen Wansan was stunned and slowly raised his head.

"Your Majesty, don't you blame the Concubine Xian?"

Cheng De said with a cold face: "Concubine Yan was killed by those assassins. What does it have to do with Concubine Xian? If there is a relationship, it is because you are not strict with your mouth."

Shen Wansan felt relieved, as long as Ling Ling was not blamed.

From this point of view, Ling Ling will not fall out of favor in the future.

"Shen Wansan knows his crime." Shen Wansan lowered his head and admitted his mistake.

Cheng De sighed, "Well, my people have investigated and found that Concubine Yan was killed by assassins from the Yuan Dynasty. As for you, you almost became an accomplice of those assassins. I hope you will remember this matter and not do it again."

Shen Wansan nodded heavily and said: "Your Majesty, Shen Wansan swears in front of Your Majesty that I, Shen Wansan, will not drink even a drop of alcohol from now on, and I will never do it again."

Cheng De nodded: "It's good that you know. Concubine Xian, go see her later and bring my words to her. There are some things you have to say. As a businessman, Shen Wansan, you have experienced You have been through a lot of ups and downs, and you have seen a lot of evil people, you don’t have to hide these things, you should teach the good concubine, you can also teach the good concubine.”

"Sometimes, over-protection is not good for her. She also needs to grow up. Especially in a place like the palace where there are many people and mixed eyes. Not all my energy can take care of her. I am only afraid of the future. Sometimes, I will be confused. If Concubine Xian is still like this in the future, and the people under her are still like this, how will I deal with it then?"

"From now on, I will personally check the people under her to prevent some people from harming her."

Shen Wansan's eyes showed gratitude, "Your Majesty treats the virtuous concubine like this. Shen Wansan is extremely grateful. Thank you for your kindness."

"Your Majesty, in order to show that I, Shen Wansan, know that I was wrong and that I am deeply aware of my mistakes, I, Shen Wansan, are willing to offer another five million taels of silver to replenish the treasury of the Ming Dynasty."

Seeing Shen Wansan lowering his head and saying these words, Cheng De's eyes narrowed.

Sure enough, Shen Wansan had to tell him this to make him willingly take out the money. To Shen Lingling, Shen Wansan really treated her like his own daughter.

It’s not like I wasted so much time in vain.

The Ming Dynasty is not easy to run, and money is needed everywhere. I feel deeply embarrassed!

This person must have a weakness.

In this way, it can be easily handled.

So, Cheng De glanced at Shen Wansan with satisfaction, "Since you know you are wrong, I will no longer pursue this matter. Five million taels, remember to hand it over to Fang Ming, the Minister of Revenue, within three months."

"Yes, Shen Wansan knows." Shen Wansan responded.

Cheng De glanced at Shen Wansan and said, "As a relative of Concubine Xian, in the future, when it comes to business matters, you should help those in the business department more. If you have any ideas for making money, talk to them more."

"Lead the Ministry of Commerce to make money for Ming Dynasty. In the future, Ming Dynasty will not let you down. I will also remember your contribution."

"Otherwise, if I want to make you a marquis after I rule the world, I won't be able to find any reason to give an explanation to the people below, and it will be difficult for me to do it. Do you know what I mean?"

"Furthermore, as a virtuous concubine's natal family, you have the lowest status. If you don't raise your status, won't you be looked down upon when Di'er grows up in the future?"

After hearing Cheng De's words, Shen Wansan's eyes suddenly brightened, but he was very confused.

"Your Majesty, don't you think that my status as a businessman is really not worthy of publicity? Moreover, do I really have a chance to become a marquis in the future?"

Cheng De smiled, "Do you know Zhang Jiuyi?"

"Your Majesty, he is the Marquis of Zhongyong that your Majesty has conferred." Shen Wansan replied.

"Shen Wansan, you only know one thing, but you don't know the other! It's impossible for Zhang Jiuyi to become a prince with his military exploits. However, others don't know, and what I know is that he is still standing in the dark for me. He has made some great contributions. I will remember them all!"

"No matter how dissatisfied the people below are, I will suppress them. Only after I have unified the world will I tell everyone in the world what Zhang Jiuyi has done."

"Actually speaking, Zhang Jiuyi, this loyal and brave Marquis, has been looked down upon by many people! I owe him a debt!"

"I said this, do you understand?"

Shen Wansan: "Shen Wansan already understands the meaning of His Majesty's words. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Shen Wansan will definitely talk more with Zhang Yiduo, Minister of Commerce, about how to make more money in the future."

Cheng De smiled, "Good!"

Afterwards, Shen Wansan said goodbye to Cheng De and left.

Cheng De looked at Shen Wansan's back and thought: With Shen Wansan here in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty's treasury may not be short of money in the future.

If the Ming Dynasty's treasury is rich, why should I be stingy with a mere marquis? (End of chapter)
