I studied in modern times

Chapter 72

As we all know, Da Nei, the imperial city of the Song Dynasty, has always been a sieve that leaks wind from all sides.

Not to mention the conversation between Zhao Xu, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, he never thought of keeping it secret.

Even in the past, many royal families tried their best to keep things secret, as long as the number of people present exceeded a certain order of magnitude.

For example, a two-digit number will definitely spread in Bianjing City the next day.

So, before noon, this matter had already spread to Ouchi.

First of all, it was known by several rulers in the capital hall.

"Emperor Daxing, it's really..." Zhang Dun sighed after learning the general situation, and said after a long time: "Thinking about the long-term, with good intentions!"

That is indeed something that His Majesty can do!
Zhang Dun was in his command hall, looking towards the city of Bianjing.

He knew that the whole Bianjing would be boiling.

Over the years, Di'an Division has set up dozens of large and small stacking yards inside and outside Bianjing, with nearly a hundred yards, and thousands of warehouses and mansions.

No less than [-] workers are employed, and at least [-] laborers work around those stacking yards, yards and warehouses to earn a living.

What is Rijindoujin?
In what month did Di Ansi earn less than [-] yuan? !

Now, the embankment division is about to buy.

As far as Zhang Dun knew, all the relatives and nobles in Bianjing City, even the clan would be lively.

Such a big piece of fat, no one does not salivate.

And the people of Bianjing will rejoice at the good news that the Market Change Law and the Evening Lost Law will be abolished.

Therefore, in the past ten years, there has been resentment in the city of Bianjing.

Once gone!
Even, maybe there will be many people who are grateful to Dade, thinking that this is a great grace from heaven.

……

All parties in Bianjing City.

Far more excited than Zhang Dun imagined.

Almost as soon as the news got out, it didn't even wait for confirmation.

In the various guilds in Bianjing City, roars have already been heard.

"Hurry up!"

"Send everyone to me, and let me keep an eye on the XX stacking yard of the Bank Division!"

"Every plant, every tree, every brick and every tile, keep an eye on me!"

These big potbellied businessmen always hated the embankment the most.

Because in the past, their goods were forced to be unloaded at the embankment department's stacking yard, and they were forced to only be stored in the embankment department's warehouse.

The business that was supposed to earn a hundred dollars was abruptly poached by the embankment at least half of it!
Do you hate it?
I must hate it!How many people are eager to set fire to the storage yards and warehouses of the Bank Division!

But now, everything has changed.

Those stacking yards, those warehouses, and those field affairs of the Bank Division are all going to be sold out!

This is different, completely different.

Those stacking yards are their stuff and their property!

The roles are reversed immediately.

The things that I hated in the past, have now all become sweet pastries.

All the shortcomings in the past have now become advantages.

They looked at the Bian River that divided the city of Bianjing into the north and the south.

Everyone's eyes were full of brilliance.

Especially those places where their goods were unloaded in the past, and those stacking yards, yards, and warehouses opened up by the Embankment Division on both sides of the Bian River.

A place that can be chosen by the Bank Division.

Naturally, it is a good place with convenient transportation, spacious place, and high terrain, which is not afraid of flooding or heavy rain!
In addition, the people from the embankment department have already built all the infrastructure, and the relevant supporting facilities are also very complete.

Now, they are all going to be bought and sold!

Mine...my...all mine!
I don't know how many big merchants roared in their hearts.

As they know, the stacking yards, field operations and warehouses of the Embankment Division are all cornucopias.

As long as you win one, you will get a long-term meal ticket.

As long as you keep it, don't let outsiders take it away.

Children and grandchildren will benefit endlessly!

……

The Xiang family's ancestral house is in Xinchangfang.

Since the beginning of the country, the Xiang clan has taken root here.

As the younger brothers of the current empress dowager, brothers Xiang Zonghui and Xiang Zongliang have always kept a low profile in this city of Bianjing.

But now, it is difficult for them to keep a low profile.

Just after noon, the front of the Xiang family's ancestral house was already bustling.

Visitors came one after another.

Each of them is a descendant of a family of nobles and foreign relatives in the city of Bianjing.

Gifts in large and small packages were sent into Xiang Zhai as if they didn't want money.

"Brothers, you can't do it! You can't do it!" Xiang Zonghui led the guests into the house with a smile.

"Made! Made!"

"Brother Zifa, I will have to rely on my brother from now on!"

"Brothers, I'm serious... I'm serious..." Xiang Zonghui bowed his hands and saluted with a smile. He was born relatively rich, with a round and plump face, so many people would always be confused by his appearance, thinking that he was easy to get along with.

Only those who really get along with Xiang Zonghui day and night know that the empress dowager's younger brother has no less thoughts than others.

"Is Mrs. Tai here?" The guests asked after entering the backyard.

"Unfortunately, Jiaci went to Daxiangguo Temple to fulfill his vow today..." Xiang Zonghui said.

"That would be a pity!"

"I was going to pay homage to Mrs. Tai! Congratulations to Mrs. Tai!"

The guests immediately shook their heads in regret.

"Congratulations?" Xiang Zonghui pretended to be confused: "Why do you like it?"

The guests were immediately surprised: "Brother Zifa doesn't know yet?"

"Today, the news came out from the palace that the Son of Heaven is pure, filial, benevolent and sage, and respectful and respectful. Knowing that the Madam has worked hard in raising the Empress Dowager, he offered the stacking yard of the Empress Dowager in Bianjing to pay for the Madam's makeup!"

"What a pure and filial son of heaven, the most benevolent official family!"

"Who said no?"

The guests talked in a hurry.

Xiang Zonghui listened, pretending to be surprised: "There is such a thing?"

"Heaven's grace is mighty! Heaven's grace is mighty!"

He immediately bowed his hands to the guests and said: "I will enter the palace and face the Holy Spirit in person, thank you before the emperor!"

"Brothers, please forgive me for not being able to accompany me any longer!"

"If you don't give up, you can use some tea in the humble house..."

With that said, he turned and hurried away.

It can be seen that he doesn't want to flirt with these people at all!

why?
Because before that, in those days when Emperor Daxing was ill.

Xiang's family was neglected for a while, except for the occasional contact with relatives, no one cared about him.

Because at that time, many people thought that the Xiang family was probably a pill.

The queen has no children, and the official family is seriously ill. If there is another sound of ax and candle shadow, the Xiang family will definitely be doomed.

Even if the prince ascends the throne in the end, it is inevitable that the mother-in-law will attend the court.

It should have nothing to do with the queen.

Since this is the case, no one is willing to talk to Xiang Jia!
Who would have thought that the situation would change suddenly, the heir in Ouchi who had been kept in the deep palace by the Emperor Daxing was not only smart, handsome and benevolent, but also virtuous and disciplined.

Although he was not born to the queen, he also knew that he admired his aunt and was close to the queen.

Xiangjia's market is rapidly rising, and soon there are many people in the market.

When the emperor's heir was established as the prince and the empress became the empress dowager, according to the law of etiquette, the mother is more valuable than the son, and the son is more expensive than the mother, so that both the Zaizhi and the empress dowager had to recognize the legitimacy and rationality of the empress dowager's administration, and wrote it in the emperor's book and will.

Up to now, that young master has shown an astonishing filial piety.

At a young age, he had already taught the saints and kept them in his heart.

Therefore, the stacking yard of Bianjing Embankment Division was offered to pay for the fat and powder of the ladies of the two palaces.

It can be said that filial piety touched the sky!
Xiangjia's status soared again!

Xiang Zonghui also experienced big ups and downs in just over a month.

Naturally, he also saw through the world.

The world is hot and cold, people are warm and cold.

Outsiders will always hold the high and step down.

None of these people are worth making friends with!

What Xiang Zonghui knew was that the wealth and honor of the Xiang family now depended on that official family and that young master.

……

After leaving the house, Xiang Zonghui mounted his horse and headed straight for the imperial city.

He didn't lie, he was indeed going to enter the palace to face Saint Shane.

This is the true reliance of the Xiang family for the next hundred years.

When he arrived at Xuande Gate, Xiang Zonghui was about to dismount when he heard a voice calling him from behind.

"Zifa!"

Xiang Zong looked back.

Yo!

Gao Gongji!

The empress dowager's own nephew!

As we all know, the Empress Dowager was the descendant of the great general Gao Qiong, her father Gao Zunfu, who was the fourteenth in the family.

Gao Zunfu has only one son and one daughter. The daughter is the current Empress Dowager, and the youngest son is Gao Shilin.

Among them, Gao Gongji grew up with Gao Zunhui and learned Confucian classics.

And Gao Gonghui grew up with Gao Zunyu, and was very fond of the military revolution.

Therefore, Gao Gongji is the favorite of the empress dowager.

"Junzheng, are you also here to enter the palace to face the saint?" Xiang Zonghui stopped his horse, waited for Gao Gongji to arrive in front of him, and then asked with a smile.

"Of course!" Gao Gongji is younger than Xiang Zonghui, only 24 or [-] years old, looks gentle and gentle, looks like a scholar-bureaucrat.

"If you are not giving up, why don't you come with me?" Xiang Zonghui sent his own invitation.

In this era when the two palaces are governing, Xiang Zonghui knows that he wants to have a good relationship with the Gao family, but it doesn't have to be too good.

Gao Gongji nodded his head: "So you want it!"

Thus, the two relatives of the imperial court, who were less than ten years apart in age, rode horses and entered the imperial city from the Xuande Gate.

When I arrived at Nayou Zhaoqing's gate, I handed over a post, asking for a face-to-face with the Holy Grail.

Soon, some ministers came to invite them: "The government has an order, and invite the two relatives of the country to meet at the Yingyang Gate!"

Xiang Zonghui immediately bowed to Gao Gongji: "The ministers and others respectfully accept the order!"

Under the guidance of the minister, he entered the Youzhaoqing Gate, and was led through the Donghua Imperial Street to the small hall under the Yingyang Gate.

"Two relatives, please wait here for a while!" The courtier who led them said to them and entered the small hall.

Then a childish voice came from the hall: "You two relatives, please come to the hall to talk!"

Xiang Zonghui and Gao Gongji quickly bowed their heads in front of the hall and bowed again: "Your Majesty Long En, I am so grateful, I will repay you with death!"

Then he stood up respectfully, then lowered his head, bent his waist, and walked step by step into the palace of the emperor, before the royal family.

　Note: According to the "Continued Zizhi Tongjian Long Story", Xiang Jing died of illness in Qingzhou that year, and his coffin was sent back to the capital.
