Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

Su Mu wondered, if you want to ask me to go back to the capital, just say so, why did you ask me to go to the quiet room to proclaim the decree?

Could it be that Empress Dowager Zhang still wants to ask Princess Taikang about it?

It has been more than two months since I came to Cangzhou by myself, and I should give an explanation to others.

However, in this way, don't you still have to be trapped in Cangzhou?

Thinking of this, Su Mu had a vague premonition in his heart.

After entering the quiet room, there is no one else in the room.

Su Mu was not in a hurry to ask about the imperial decree, he was also familiar with Lin Sen, so he simply asked, "Eunuch Lin, did your majesty say when I can return to the capital?"

Lin Sen smiled and giggled: "Mr. Su, we all know what you are doing in Cangzhou. You are all from the East Palace, so there is no need to hide it. Do you not know the temper of the Empress Dowager Cisheng? If you don't find His Highness, Mr. There is no going back."

Su Mu sat down on the chair in disappointment, stretched out his hand to touch his hot forehead.

Lin Sen said with a face full of skin, "There is an imperial decree."

Su Mu was startled and hurriedly stood up.

Lin Sen held him back: "No need to kneel, Long Live God said, it's just a hand letter, just a letter, just look at it."

He took out a small sandalwood box from his sleeve, opened it, and inside was a piece of paper full of words.

Su Mu took a look and almost laughed out loud.

It turned out that this time I wrote the greeting note to the emperor last time, saying that the matter of Princess Taikang has already been figured out, and it will take some time to find it.

The emperor commented directly after the letter: "I am very well. I have always been very afraid of the heat. This year, I have been suffering from heat, but I have never felt bitter. The diet and daily life are better. I will send you condolences. How are you? You are here Cangzhou endure for a few more months, when the time comes, I will send you back to Beijing."

-----This is a typical Yongzheng style text.

It turned out that when he was studying with his servants in the East Palace, one day Xie Qian, the cabinet, happened to talk about the emperor's approval of the emperor.Emperor Zhengde didn't pay much attention to reading books, and the words he approved were unsightly. He was reprimanded by Xie Ge's old drawing, and then beat Liu Jin with a dozen rulers.

After coming down, Zhengde was very unconvinced, and Su Mu comforted him and said that the emperor didn't pay much attention to wearing red.A good emperor may not be able to write good words.Criticism like this must be concise and concise, so that there is no ambiguity. As for rhetoric, it is not so particular.

On the spur of the moment, I randomly wrote more than a dozen comments on the paper that were later written by Emperor Yongzheng on the minister's booklet, under the pretense that it was written by an emperor named Marco Anthony in Taixi.

What is "I am such a man, with such a temperament! This is the emperor! If you and other ministers do not fail me, I will not fail you." What "Happiness is up to you, laughter is up to you, anger is up to you, shame on you It's up to you, your feelings are up to you, and your annoyance is up to you, I will never disagree."

Little Zhengde's eyes lit up, and he kept tsk-tsk: "Look at him, this is the emperor, so majestic, so domineering, and it suits my taste. In the future, this hall will become the emperor, and I will also be such an emperor."

Therefore, Emperor Zhengde actually learned Yongzheng style first-hand, and directly used sumu as an experiment, which made him dumbfounded.

But this Zhu Phi made him breathe out a lot, and the meaning in the Zhengde text was to tell him to go back to the capital.

However, after a few more months of patience, it made him a little confused.

Seeing Su Mu's puzzled expression, Lin Sen said: "As for how many months it will take for Mr. Su to return to the capital, it depends on how your next assignment will be done?"

"Send, what send, don't look for someone again, I can't do it."

"No, no." Lin Sen said in a low voice: "Long Live Lord's consciousness is that to find His Highness Taikang, you can just send other people. Sending you, Mr. Su, is purely overqualified. Back then, she was also the Empress Dowager I was angry for a while, and when I was angry, Long Live Lord couldn't say anything. If Mr. Su accomplishes this and makes great contributions this time, His Majesty will be able to intercede with the Queen Mother."

Su Mu raised his spirits: "Eunuch Lin, please continue."

Lin Sen: "The reason why the ink corruption case of the Changlu Salt Division was investigated by you, Mr. Yang, and the official Wu Tui, is that after all, it is because of the flood and the imperial court urgently needs money to relieve the disaster. Otherwise, I don't know that it will take another How many years will it take to be discovered. Although the corrupt officials have been brought to justice, there is no whereabouts of the relief funds. Once a civil uprising is stirred up, it will be very bad. Therefore, His Majesty originally meant that you should first serve as the salt transport envoy and be responsible Raising funds for the imperial court. But you don’t have an official position, and it’s impossible for the officials to agree. They simply ordered you to take over as Tai Xian. Anyway, you are a family, and what he does is the same as you do. So, Mr. Su, you don't have to stand on the cusp of the storm, do you?"

After talking so much, Lin Sen swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and continued, "Then Wu Tuiguan is a foolish person, and you will not be able to decide the affairs of the Yan Division in the future. Long live God, when will the Yan Division pay 200 million taels of water?" If you have enough silver, Mr. Su, you can go back anytime. As for the matter of Her Royal Highness, the Queen Mother will have him to talk about it."

"That's it, how long will it take?"

"Two months." Lin Sen raised two fingers.

"Two months, 200 million, it's a bit tight." Su Mu nodded, feeling happy in his heart: "Can you allow some more time?"

Lin Sen giggled: "Mr. Su, you are such a big celebrity, how can you learn how to bargain like others, and even talk to Long Live Lord."

"It's too tight." Su Mu rubbed his hands deliberately and sighed. In fact, he was confident that he would complete this task within a month, and then escape back to the capital smoothly.

Where is the salt field, as a modern person, he has plenty of ways to make money, so he doesn't think it is difficult.

For the guy who was about to get rid of the troublesome Princess Taikang and go back to the capital to reunite with Xiaodie, Hu Ying and the others, Su Mu felt a burst of excitement.

As for who will accept Taikang as a hot potato in the future, I don't care who he is!

After issuing the decree, Su Mu chatted with Lin Sen for a long time, asked about the affairs of the capital, and then left.

Since he wanted to find a way to collect 200 million taels of silver, Su Mu had to check the files of the Salt Division first to get familiar with the workflow of the Transshipment Division.But these things are beyond the reach of an ordinary person, so they have a legal identity in advance.

Su Mu thought for a while, without the complaint from the Ministry of Officials, he would naturally not be able to be an official. Now, he can only be stationed in the Salt Division as Mr. Wu's aide, otherwise, he has no legitimate reason to intervene in the daily work of the Salt Transport Envoy. affairs.

To be honest, Wu Otaku still doesn't have the ability to make up 200 million taels of silver in a short period of time.

This matter has to be nodded by the old man.

After breaking up with Lin Sen, Su Mu found another official from the Salt Division and asked if Wu Tui was there.

The little official replied: "The old man is very ill, and he was going to be sent to the Houya to rest. But the old man seemed very angry, and dropped the official seal on hand and went back to the boat, saying that he would return tomorrow." Yangzhou."
