The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 454
The Huang family has a ballroom, the best musicians, and an easy-going host, so everyone likes to come here for gatherings. Even Qingliu from the Imperial Academy often comes to have a drink and dance to a few songs.

Huang Sheng doesn't play with the dandies, but just provides a place to post some food and drink for everyone to relax. He trains teachers every day, and often wanders to the British government's mansion to visit his wife and children who have spent a hundred days at his natal home.

Nowadays, the son-in-law's visit is very serious, even the old lady would go out of her way to have a chat with Huang Sheng.

The British public Zhang Weixian and Zhang Zhiji were still worried that Huang Sheng would be unhappy, but seeing that he was always happy, they finally felt relieved.

They have been in the officialdom for a long time, especially Zhang Weixian, who is a tumbler in the officialdom, he is well aware of the emperor's intentions, and it is reasonable for the emperor to be worried about giving him soldiers because his son-in-law is too powerful and talented.

Every time the old couple saw their son-in-law coming to the door, they would specially drink a few drinks with him, thinking about it, the old lady definitely liked her son-in-law more and more now.

The highest point of Wang Gongchang New District, the 'Tingyuxuan' tea house hidden in the misty rain is like a fairyland on earth. In a private room with a panoramic view of Tianhu Lake, two young people are waiting for a distinguished guest.

One is that Huang Sheng's disciple is already Zhang Youlu, a fourth-rank military officer, and he will be promoted after being awarded the "Liaoshen Great Victory" this time.The other was one of the ten musketeers who followed Zhang Youlu to Nanjing to accompany Cao Huachun, Tang Daoheng, who was already a sixth-rank military officer.

Huang Sheng has always acted in accordance with the official rules of the Ming Dynasty. The Bing Jing Tan Jing that should be given is only a lot more than the worship at the end of the year, and it is several times more for Wang Chengen and Cao Huachun.

In order to strengthen the establishment of the high-level intelligence network of the Ming Dynasty, Tiao Tang Daoheng joined the North Zhili Intelligence Department as the fifth-rank adjutant, mainly responsible for communicating with the eunuchs.Today is a secret meeting with people from the palace.

Not long after, a small sedan chair came in a hurry, and a white-faced and beardless man under 40 years old came down. He was Cao Huachun's follower Lu Zhi. The first class became a eunuch.

Eunuchs are also strictly hierarchical. When they first entered the palace, they could only serve as pawn books, long followers, imperial servants, etc. They could not be called eunuchs at all. If they performed well, they could be promoted to Jian Cheng. The immediate boss of the eunuch is the famous eunuch.

It is actually a bit exaggerated to have one emperor and one courtier, and it is not uncommon to see the elders of the three dynasties.Once the emperor and the eunuch were completely replaced, all the eunuchs who were not convicted in the Tianqi year stood aside, and most of the people who gained power today came from Ziwang Qiandi.

Even so, the eunuch Lu Zhi was still very enthusiastic when he saw Zhang Youlu and Tang Daoheng. After all, they ate, drank and had fun together in Nanjing for more than half a year, and their feelings were different.

He had long known that these two were the generals of Lord Huang Shenghou, the elder of the court of the champion, and they were military generals with military exploits in the Ming Dynasty.

Godfather Eunuch Cao and Master Huang still have unclear in-laws. When they were in danger in Nanjing, they had the help of the Huang family to get through the most dangerous moment safely.

Lu Zhi could put on airs in front of other military generals, but in front of Zhang Youlu and the others, he completely changed his face, cheerfully and affectionately.

Zhang Youlu had already contacted Lu Zhi and asked him to speak to Eunuch Cao Huachun to arrange a meeting today because an important person wanted to see him.

Lu Zhi came to the private room to exchange pleasantries and said, "Mr. Cao will be here in a while. I wonder if the two of you have made arrangements?"

Zhang Youlu said with a smile: "Eunuch Lu, don't worry, nothing will be lost here, there are no idlers within a mile, and my adults are not willing to give anyone a handle. It is only if Madam really wants to see relatives that he arranges this way, and it will definitely not be like this in the future."

Lv Zhi has been following Cao Huachun in front of the saddle and serving attentively. He has never found that Mr. Huang, who is in favor of Cao Eunuch, asked anything. When he learned that Cao Eunuch's distant cousin wanted to see his cousin, he immediately reported back.

Cao Huachun was very happy and readily agreed to come to meet, which is why such an arrangement came about.

The Beizhili Military Intelligence Department was not given for nothing. It had already figured out the ins and outs of the Cao Huachun family. It was not realistic to investigate the eighteen generations of the ancestors. It is no exaggeration to figure out the relationship network of the three generations of the Cao family.

It's too easy to invent a distant cousin. Even modern people have too many distant cousins ​​that they don't recognize. Of course, there were more in ancient times.

The clever He Xiang now talks about her life experience. She was originally bought by Master He Xian from a young age, and she has no life background at all. At this moment, she feels a little fake.

As for what He Xiang talked about with Cousin Cheap, outsiders have no way of knowing, anyway, Cao Huachun's eyes were red when he left.It can be said that the Huang family was very popular for a while, and there was nothing to bother the emperor's close minister.

Huang Sheng didn't come at all, and He Xiang and Cao Huachun just met each other to tell each other their hearts and talk about their family's shortcomings to enhance their relationship. She also gave her cousin a lot of money and told him to reward his subordinates generously.

He also told him that if he was unhappy, he could leave the Forbidden City and go to Nanzhili to take a job, and he must not argue with others and cause trouble.

This is the highest state of making friends with powerful people, and it is also the peak level of flirting. Nothing disturbs him. Everything is for the sake of his cousin. Cao Huachun can't do without being moved.

Huang Sheng didn't want anyone to deliberately help to speak, because Emperor Chongzhen's suspicious character would be counterproductive.As long as it is necessary, it will benefit a lot. Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen, the two great eunuchs who follow Chongzhen all day long, only report what is beneficial to them.

It is quite safe to get along with each other like this, and outsiders can't detect it, and the emperor doesn't know it, even if the person concerned is being used unknowingly.

After Jiannu retreated, Qin Liangyu, who received the will of King Qin, rushed to the capital day and night. Her [-] white-armed soldiers went down the river to Nantongzhou and went north by sea. It took less than a month, earlier than in history. The capital for several months.

This is all due to the fact that the Huang family has already opened up the river-sea joint transportation business route. Now the products from Sichuan can also go straight down the river at a speed of [-] miles a day to the storage base purchased and built by the Huang family in Nantong Prefecture.

But Jiannu retreated earlier, there would be no battle of the four cities, and the white soldiers traveled three thousand miles to Qin Wang for nothing.

Emperor Chongzhen saw the white-armed soldiers rushing to Longyan Dayue, and personally entertained Qin Liangyu and her senior generals. Chongzhen, who had no poems handed down, actually wrote a few poems praising Qin Liangyu.

The emperor was familiar with the heroic deeds of the Qin family, the Ma family and the Baigan soldiers. Later, when Qin Liangyu inquired, it turned out that the story of her family had been put on the stage many times, and the capital was performing a play, including the bloody battle of Hunhe. .

At the request of the inner eunuch Wang Chengen, Lan Caier, the female official Shangyi, would leave thirty tickets for the palace every time she performed in the capital.

Cai'er is also a bureaucrat now, she belongs to a woman with status and status, it is necessary to show filial piety to the royal family, and she often goes around the palace to give many novelties to Empress Zhang Yan, Empress Zhou and several concubines. The most popular product is of course the "Xie Fuchun" series of cosmetics.

The top courtesan is so handy in conducting wife diplomacy, all the women in the palace like the arrival of this generous Shang Yi, and Cai'er visiting the palace has become a common occurrence.

Chongzhen rewarded foreign officials with theater tickets for the first time, and Mrs. Qin Liangyu received ten theater tickets from the emperor.In the evening, I took my 17-year-old daughter Ma Xiangling, daughter-in-law Zhang Fengyi and others to watch a play at Wang Gongchang Grand Theater.
