Traveling through: The down-and-out beauty refuses to be cannon fodder

All kinds of dignitaries who just ate the benefits of the salt industry from the Xu family last year were all blown up!

Among them, the Marquis of Huichang was the most furious.

In the second year of Chenghua, Li Tang, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, ordered his family to open Zhonghua in Liaodong. In the second year of Chenghua, [-] citations of accumulated salt were divided into two Huaihe Rivers.

Since then, the salt law has been corrupted, and the grain and grass in the border towns have been unsustainable. The internal prisons and dignitaries who colluded with the Huichang Hou Mansion all made a lot of money.

Although Li Tang was the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, he was only using a false name.The real power of the Yumajian was in the hands of Liu Yongcheng before, and later it was in the hands of Ye Da and Qian Xi who had defected to the emperor. Li Tang was increasingly marginalized and had little real power in the Yumajian.

Zhu Jianshen went to Liu Yongcheng's mansion for a private visit excitedly.

Finally, he had a high-sounding reason to go to the Liu Mansion to meet Fang Yuanzhi!
When Zhu Jianshen saw her again, she was sitting in the pavilion in the garden of the Liu Mansion, drinking tea and chatting with Liu Yongcheng.

She was wearing a pink double-breasted narrow-sleeved shirt and a lake-colored eight-panel fairy skirt on her lower body. Against the backdrop of the spring scenery in the garden, she looked more delicate and bright.She seemed to be having a serious conversation with Liu Yongcheng, with a serious and sincere expression.

Zhu Jianshen couldn't help being dazed, and froze in place for a long time, unable to move.

Liu Yongcheng, who was still smiling, spotted Zhu Jianshen and his party first, and propped himself up, staggeringly stood up and was about to kneel down on the spot.

Fang Yuanzhi followed Liu Yongcheng's line of sight, and soon saw Zhu Jianshen.

She was astonished, but still quickly went to support the elderly Liu Yongcheng, and knelt down together.

Zhu Jianshen quickly stepped forward in three steps and two steps, helped Liu Yongcheng up with his own hands, and helped Liu Yongcheng into the wheelchair together with Fang Yuanzhi.

Fang Yuanzhi wanted to run away after Liu Yongcheng sat down.

But Zhu Jianshen called her back: "Miss Fang, I want to go shopping in the garden with Eunuch Ma'er, and please ask Miss Fang to lead the way."

Fang Yuanzhi didn't dare to look at him, and turned to Liu Yongcheng for help.

Liu Yongcheng smiled, and the wrinkles at the end of his eyes bloomed like chrysanthemums.

"Yuan Zhi, come and help our family push the wheelchair."

Fang Yuanzhi had no choice but to push the wheelchair, but Zhu Jianshen took the lead.

"Miss Fang has served Eunuch Ma'er on my behalf for more than a month. I am very relieved, and it is time for me to do my best."

Fang Yuanzhi was speechless.

I was obviously sent by the Empress Dowager Qian, so what does it have to do with you?
You're pretty good at taking credit for yourself.

Zhu Jianshen pushed Liu Yongcheng in the wheelchair and walked slowly among the flowers and trees. Fang Yuanzhi was a step behind, and the other servants and guards followed from afar.

Zhu Jianshen didn't speak, but Liu Yongcheng said: "The emperor pushes the wheelchair himself, it's really an old slave!"

Zhu Jianshen was sincere and said with a smile, "Eunuch Ma'er is a true hero. I have heard about your great achievements since I was a child, and it is my good fortune to be able to do little today."

Fang Yuanzhi sneered, she can afford to let go, but she is a good player in buying people's hearts!
There was a faint smile on Liu Yongcheng's face, and his tone was less respectful and more cordial and moving: "The emperor is here today, but what's the matter?"

Zhu Jianshen didn't hide it: "Nowadays, the court is focusing on discussing the disadvantages of the salt administration, and the Ministry of Household Affairs has introduced ten whipping methods. It's just that the first one is a major event that cuts off people's wealth, and I'm afraid it will offend a lot of powerful people."

After a pause, Zhu Jianshen said: "Li Tang of the Imperial Horse Supervisor is the beginning of the corruption of the Yan government. If we can use him as a warning to others, we will get twice the result with half the effort. However, if there is no support from the horse eunuch, I will not act rashly."

Liu Yongcheng was silent for a while before saying: "Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish, don't rush everything.

It is a good thing that the emperor wants to move Li Tang to stand up.It's just that this pushed the emperor to the forefront, but fell behind.

The future of our internal officials should be tied to the emperor.

Li Tang defected to the Sun family, breaking the rules.It should have been cleaned up long ago.

It's just that the emperor doesn't have to involve him with Yanzheng, so as not to resist too much.

That Qian Xi, since the emperor wants to use him, it is better to let him use his means to deal with Li Tang cleanly, which not only achieves his goal, but also protects the emperor, and the implementation of the salt policy will not be too fierce. "

Zhu Jianshen was a little surprised, but also a little moved.

The "Ten Whip Law" of the Salt Administration is aimed at the interests of those with vested interests, and it is bound to be difficult to implement.

He wanted to do something drastic, but Liu Yongcheng reminded him in time.

Liu Yongcheng was afraid that the emperor would not listen to what he said, so he added: "Do you know what was the root cause of the change in the civil castle?"

"It was the first emperor who was eager to correct the shortcomings of the nine borders, and moved the interests of the border guards."

"That's right. The flaws are there, and they didn't develop in a day. It takes patience to correct them."

"I have been taught."

Fang Yuanzhi glanced curiously at the gray-haired old man in the wheelchair.

He taught honestly like an elder, and the words of persuasion came out of his mouth, making people feel like a spring breeze, and it was much easier to accept.

She was also a little moved by Zhu Jianshen's humility and respect for the corporal.

Young people usually have a bit of a temper, and may not be able to accept other people's opinions with an open mind, but he listens to advice like a stream.

Zhu Jianshen and Liu Yongcheng chatted about other things, which were basically about the appointment, selection, promotion and removal of eunuchs guarding the army and eunuchs in the army.

It was only then that Fang Yuanzhi realized that the eunuchs from all over the country and in the various armies were all sent by the Imperial Horse Supervisor.

If the Si Li Jian is the palace minister, the Yuma Jian seems to be the palace general, who assists the emperor to rule the world together, so as not to lose the imperial power.

She was a little depressed again.

These are important confidential matters, so the two of them can just talk in secret, why bother to use yourself as a background wall who doesn't understand anything?
If some news leaked later, and it was my own fault, wouldn't I have to drink a pot?
Thinking of this, she deliberately slowed down and fell behind.

Zhu Jianshen soon realized that he stopped and turned back to wait for her.

Fang Yuanzhi had no choice but to take two quick steps and followed.

Liu Yongcheng naturally saw that Zhu Jianshen's ulterior motives were not in drinking.

Although he came to see him today for a serious business, it was obvious that he was focused on the girl Fang next to him. Even the names he mentioned, he only responded vaguely, without taking it too seriously.

Liu Yongcheng sighed inwardly.

The so-called hero sad beauty pass.

As a hero in his old age, he would feel admiration when he saw Miss Fang in front of him, let alone a young emperor.

Fortunately, after getting along with her for many days, he also knew that this girl Fang had a good mind and was not a cunning person.It would be a good thing if I could mention something and make her a great help beside the emperor.

No matter how capable Liu Yongcheng is, he doesn't have a good job for a few years.If you can select a few more talents for the emperor, when you go to the underground of Huangquan, you can also say to Emperor Taizong without guilt that you have done your best. (end of this chapter)
