Chapter 335 The shit stirrer is back

The sun is already westward.

Since the Tonghui River was built in the Yuan Dynasty, the end point of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal has been connecting Tongzhou to the capital.

Chaoyangmen Wharf has also become the largest distribution wharf in the country for goods directly to the capital. The Qijiu River has opened, and the bustle of the past has returned here.

Needless to say, there was congestion on the river today, and the crowds of people on the dock who came to pick up the goods were even more noisy.But no matter which yamen you belonged to, you were all driven away at this time and crowded on the banks on both sides of the pier.

The huge pier has been vacated. On the pier, lined up from the stone steps, there are many ceremonial supervisors standing with knives in their hands.

According to the rules, as long as there is a palace ship coming, the official ships of various ministries must move behind to give way.

After a long time, a huge official ship appeared on the river and slowly came towards the dock.

Two flags were flying on the two large masts at the front and rear of the ship. The front flag was embroidered with the three characters "Ministry of Internal Affairs", and the rear flag was embroidered with the three characters "Director of Ceremonies".

The river wind blew the flags on the official boats rattling.

A tall figure emerged from the cabin, stood on the board, and silently looked at the city of Beijing in the distance.

A woman came out holding a cloak, put it on for him, and said softly: "It's windy outside, sir, please go in."

"More than a year has passed in the blink of an eye." The voice actually belonged to Jia Yucun, who was driven out of the capital by the Queen Mother.

Woman: "Yes."

Jia Yucun sighed softly and murmured: "I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse to come to Beijing this time!"

Woman: "It doesn't matter whether you are a big official or a small official, as long as you get what you want."

Jia Yucun looked back at her and said, "Shunxin? If you want everything to go smoothly, just be a common people. It's a pity that I can't even be a common people!"

At this point, he sighed again, "The one from the Jia family was crowned king, Prince Zhongshun was beheaded by someone, and the third and fourth princes died suddenly and for no apparent reason. Judging from the current situation, in the future The possibility of the Ninth Prince inheriting the throne is very high." He smiled bitterly and said, "There is no place in the world other than the royal land. Where else can I go?"

"master"

"Don't worry. I bought a sacrificial field in my hometown, and my line is considered extinct. You don't have to suffer with me. As long as you offer sacrifices to my ancestors for me, it is a kindness you have shown me!"

Jia Yucun looked into the distance: "Jiao Xing, the only thing I feel guilty about is that I'm sorry for Mr. Zhen of Hulu Temple."

"Master, please don't say that."

Jiao Xing opened her eyes with tears: "Although I haven't been able to find the young lady for so many years, you have also helped the Feng family a lot, which can be regarded as repaying the kindness of the past."

After a moment of silence, Jia Yucun spoke: "I found it a long time ago."

Jiao Xing was startled: "Looking for, finding it? Master, you mean to say that the young lady has been found a long time ago?"

Jia Yucun: "That's right. Miss Zhen was sold to the Xue family in Jinling by human traffickers and became the girl of the Xue family. Now she lives in the Jia family."

Jiao Xing was stunned and looked at him blankly.

"Oh~ Mr. Jia is so elegant!"

Jia Yucun turned around and saw a big eunuch in red coming upstairs.

Jiao Xing ducked in.

Jia Yucun greeted the eunuch in red with a half salute.

The eunuch in red immediately stretched out his hand to stop him, and said with a smile: "The miscellaneous family cannot bear this."

Jia Yucun's eyes lit up.

The eunuch in red took out a handwriting from his arms and said loudly: "Your Majesty's handwriting! Jia Yucun accepts the order!"

Jia Yucun immediately knelt down.

The eunuch in red unfolded Emperor Jianwu's handwriting: "Jia Yucun was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Personnel! Mr. Jia, accept the order!"

Jia Yucun was so excited that his whole body trembled, and two lines of tears burst out of his eyes, and he burst into tears: "Your Majesty's grace is so generous to me and I, I am willing to work hard for Your Majesty to repay Your Majesty's great kindness."

The eunuch in red smiled with satisfaction and nodded: "Master Jia, His Majesty appoints you as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, in the hope that you can help His Majesty stabilize the court and effectively rectify the Ministry of Personnel."

Jia Yucun kowtowed and replied loudly: "I will work hard and live up to the emperor's expectations!"

The eunuch in red handed over the order: "Accept the order."

"Your Majesty, Jia Yucun, accepts the order and expresses gratitude."

Jia Yucun kowtowed again, took the oracle with both hands, waited for the eunuch in red to walk down the stairs, then got up, dusted off the non-existent dust on his body, raised his head, and looked at the majestic Chaoyang Gate Tower. Already in front of me, I took a long breath, the light in my eyes flickered, and I slowly closed my eyes: "I'm back! You all just wait."

The Concierge House was busy at this time. Ten guards from the Ministry of Ceremonies escorted a group of porters carrying loads of large and small boxes and cages. However, these porters were very short in stature, and each of them barely reached the shoulders of the guards.

A short and fat leader followed pantingly and shouted loudly: "Slow down, slow down, don't break things!" Suddenly a gust of wind blew, and several people's hoods were lifted at the same time. The hat reveals a bunch of hair on the top of the head that is bound to the back of the head!

These people are the Japanese envoys.

At this moment, a Japanese man without a hood flew over and shouted loudly (in Japanese): "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

The crowd separated into a channel.

The Japanese rushed into the courtyard like a gust of wind, and walked into the door of the main room of the north house with a pair of surprised eyes.

In the room, several old Japanese were looking down at the documents of the Zhou Dynasty.

They purchased these materials at a high price from the steward of the Concierge House. It contains detailed records of the names of current officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty, as well as the names and official titles of the princes and nobles of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

The Japanese man rushed in excitedly, saluted the old Japanese man sitting in the middle, and then said (in Japanese language): "Old man, I found it. There will be a big banquet in the capital tomorrow."

The old Japanese man called Da Lao stood up and waved to him.

The Japanese man bent over and stepped forward, leaning his head towards it.

With a "pop" sound, the old Japanese slapped the Japanese in the face!

The Japanese staggered, fell to the ground, and said in a trembling voice (in Japanese): "Old, old man."

With a snort, the old Japanese man spoke fluent Chinese: "Remember, you have to speak Chinese here."

"Hi!"

The Japanese man's expression changed and he hurriedly said, "Yes." He raised his hand and slapped himself, and then tried to slap him again.
The old Japanese waved his hand: "Get up."

The Japanese said: "Yes." He replied, got up, and continued: "Elder brother, I just heard the news that there will be a big banquet in the West City tomorrow, and the banquet will be held by the Prince of Beining County."

The old Japanese's eyes lit up: "Go on."

The Japanese man was overjoyed: "Yes. I heard that most civil and military officials in the capital have sent congratulatory gifts in the past two days. There must be many people attending the banquet tomorrow. As long as we come to the door, we will definitely see many officials from the Zhou Dynasty."

"can not go!"

A voice interrupted him, and another Japanese came in.

The old Japanese looked at him: "Why can't you go?"

"Boss, Murakami holds a grudge."

"Shut up!" The old Japanese glanced at him fiercely, then looked at Murakami: "Say."

Murakami replied: "Yes. Mr. Doi is right. The Beining County Prince's Palace will indeed hold a banquet tomorrow. Not only more than half of the civil and military officials of the Zhou Dynasty have sent congratulatory gifts in the past two days, but also the palace and the emperor's relatives. A heavy gift was given. However, the Beining County Prince's Mansion has not sent out invitations. Tomorrow, all the people who will come to visit are family friends, family members, several royal princesses and family members of the clan, and no officials will come to attend the banquet. "

Hearing this, Doi was shocked, "Why, why?"

Murakami glanced at him and said to the old Japanese: "Tomorrow, the Beining County Prince's Mansion will hold a haircut ceremony."

Doi was anxious: "Impossible! Impossible! How can a haircut gift give away so many people?"

Murakami still had the same calm expression: "The host of this hairpin banquet is the future princess of the Beining County Prince's Palace. This princess was of noble birth, and her ancestors were hereditary princes. Her father is now the governor of Liangjiang, and was also appointed by the Zhou Dynasty. The emperor also granted him the title of Minister of the Ministry of War and the title of Censor of the Right Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He is fully responsible for the military and political affairs of the two rivers. He is a veritable official of the feudal frontier!"

As soon as these words came out, Doi was the first to be stunned on the spot.

Several other old Japanese were also blindfolded.

The old Japanese man known as Da Lao had an unabashed expression of appreciation on his face, nodded and said, "Do you have anything else to say?"

Murakami: "Yes. Back to the elder, the villain also found out an important piece of information. The old mother of the future chief minister of the cabinet has passed away."

Hearing this, the old Japanese man's eyes flashed again.

The old Japanese also got excited.

The elder thought for a moment and said to Murakami: "Go and inquire about the preferences of the chief minister of the cabinet and his family, especially the old birthday boy."

Murakami: "Yes." He answered, bowed and left.

An old Japanese man spoke: "Would you like to send a congratulatory gift to the Prince of Beining County?"

The elder shook his head: "No. According to Han Chinese etiquette, it is very rude to come to the door without being introduced. Let's talk about it when we have a chance." Then he looked at Dojing who was stunned and said, "Come in." After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the back room.

Doi was a little flustered and looked at the old Japanese.

An old Japanese man smiled and said, "Go ahead. Your grandfather is in a good mood."

Doi nodded gratefully and walked over reluctantly, taking small steps.
