Wentang

Chapter 805 Untitled
On the second day after Yue Shan entered the palace, Li Shimin made personnel adjustments. Li Xiaoyi, Xue Rengui, Pei Xingjian, and Gao Kan were transferred to the East Palace.

Then Li Chengqian went to visit his great-aunt in Tong'an Dachang Princess's mansion, during which time he chatted about homework, intentionally or unintentionally, he talked about Wang Fangyi's mother and son who were driven to live in the countryside by her.

Li Chengqian said that it was not good to do so. Although Wang Fangyi's father was not a descendant of his aunt, he was also of the Wang family's blood. If he did so, he would be gossiped about.

Princess Tong'an is naturally very concerned about her image in Li Chengqian's mind. After all, he is only half a step away from the throne, and no one wants to lose points in front of the future emperor.

So she gave herself a decent reason why she did it, and said it would improve the lives of both mother and son.

Li Chengqian expressed his appreciation for her attitude, and then said that if he couldn't find a suitable location for a while, he could help.

Send it to the East Palace and give it a casual job. To the public, it is said that it is the job that your aunt and grandma begged for him because you asked me for mercy. Everyone will praise you for your kindness and virtuousness.

Princess Tong'an is also a person who has experienced wars, and she once went to Dou Jiande's place as a 'guest', and she has never seen any storms.

Who didn't know that the grand nephew of the emperor had taken a fancy to Wang Fangyi and wanted him to be trained in the East Palace.

Although she didn't know that Wang Fangyi was worthy of the crown prince's coming to ask for someone in person, she knew that she had to give this face, otherwise she would lose face very much.

She is also a person who is very good at doing things, and immediately launched a remedy.

After receiving Wang Fangyi's mother and son in Beijing, he took the initiative to admit his mistake and said that he had misunderstood both of them because of being deceived by villains before.

Now that the villain has been caught and the misunderstanding has been resolved, the family will live in harmony and beauty from now on.

Tong Anchang Princess also inspected Wang Fangyi's knowledge in detail on the grounds of checking his knowledge.It doesn't matter if this question is asked, it almost scared off her few remaining teeth.

Brilliant is no longer enough to describe this cheap grandson, this is the talent of a general.

No wonder the crown prince came to ask for someone in person, why didn't he find out before, otherwise she would never be that bad person.

But fortunately, there is still a chance to make amends.

Afterwards, they became even closer to mother and son, and even took Wang Fangyi's mother to visit various dignitaries' homes, as if treating her like his own daughter-in-law.

Although Wang Fangyi's mother and son didn't know what happened, they were still happy to see this change, and they became a lot closer to Princess Tong'an.

Then when Li Chengqian came to visit her in the mansion, Tong'an Chang Princess asked Wang Fangyi to accompany her, and fortunately he praised her.

She also said that although Wang Fangyi is not from her, but she treats her as her grandson, and the relationship with the crown prince is like a cousin. She hopes that the crown prince can take care of him and keep him by his side.

Li Chengqian is also very cooperative with his great-aunt, does he have to perform a full set of acting?They asked him a few questions on the spot, and Wang Fangyi answered them fluently.

Even though he had known from Yue Shan that Wang Fangyi was a commander, Li Chengqian was still very surprised and excited after asking him personally, and immediately decided to let him serve in the East Palace.

As for Wang Fangyi, it was as if he was dreaming.

A few days ago, he was living a hard life with his mother in the countryside, but he was suddenly picked up by his harsh grandmother, and now he was sent to work in the Eastern Palace.

He couldn't accept the change too fast.

But in any case, everything is moving in a good direction, isn't it, just grasp the present moment well.

There was also a 'little' episode here, and Li Chengqian, who had gained another great talent, inevitably drank a few more glasses, and then...

Princess Tong'an pimped Wang Fangyi's cousin once and gave it to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian didn't refuse when he saw the beautiful appearance of this young lady Wang. Besides, if he took her in, he could rely on his in-laws to tie Wang Fangyi, so why not do it.

There are not many concubines in his harem, except for Wu Chang, the crown princess, there is only one crown prince concubine and four low-level Fengyi and Liangyuan, and there are not too many concubines.

……

After Yue Shan heard about Li Shimin's operation, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion. When people do bad things, they will try their best to make up for it from other places.

Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen Incident, killing his brothers and imprisoning his father. He felt guilty, and he was too kind to the royal family.

The prince Li Chengqian has gained the greatest power in history, and now he is taking the initiative to send young talents to the East Palace to serve as his subordinates.

The more talented people are, the more ideas they have. If these people are promoted and appointed by Li Shimin, it will be somewhat difficult for Li Chengqian to use them in the future.

Get these people to the East Palace, and then Li Chengqian recommends them to be officials. They will be the crown prince's bottom class.In the future, when Li Chengqian ascends the throne, he can appoint them with confidence.

This is certainly for the sake of national inheritance, but part of the reason is that Li Shimin wants to make up for the lack of family affection in his heart by doing this.

The same is true for Princess Tong'an, that is really treated as an elder.Not only will there be rewards during festivals, but she will also visit her house from time to time.

Now that Li Chengqian wants Wang Fangyi, he has to give her face to act in such a play.

But Princess Tong'an is not the kind of foolish person who knows what to do.

Otherwise, whether it is the aunt's face or the talent of a commander is more important, Li Chengqian will tell her the answer with practical actions.

When he heard that Princess Tong'an had given Wang Fangyi's cousin to Li Chengqian, he was also taken aback.

He remembered very clearly that Wang Fangyi had a cousin who married Li Zhi, who was the queen who was killed by Wu Zetian.

I quickly sent someone to inquire, and found out that it was the queen of the previous life.

Don't mention how complicated his mood was at that time, this is really... what a shit.

By the way, these two won't have a palace fight like in history, will they?

But after thinking about it, it seems unlikely that Wu Zetian, who is more scheming, is the princess.Her son Li Xiang, 'born by destiny', performed well and was deeply loved by everyone.

It can be said that as long as she doesn't kill herself, she is almost invincible.

This Queen Wang has a very good tutor and a gentle and generous personality. She is not the kind of woman who is competitive and jealous.

Taking Wu Chang as a person, it is very likely that he will win over the queen first, and when he finds that she has no other ideas, he will "sisterly love" to deal with those ambitious people together.

Taking ten thousand steps back, Li Chengqian is not Li Zhi, and his eldest grandson Wugou is still alive.If these two really dare to make trouble, there must be two more kneeling guests in Leng Gong.

Perhaps the most dissatisfied is Li Zhi, who was wiped out before he was born. I don't know how he will feel when he hears about this.

In addition, Li Shimin didn't make any major moves, and the generals who were qualified to be the commander-in-chief of the Western Expedition did not have any transfers.

There is only one reason for this, and Li Shimin himself has not decided who to take on this important task.

No information about the plan for the Western Expedition has been leaked.

Yue Shan knew that the fact that no news was leaked did not mean that Li Shimin had done nothing. It is estimated that he was in close communication with the core officials in the court at the moment.

Moreover, he also learned a piece of information through the medical school that the imperial court was hoarding medicinal materials for golden sores, typhoid fever, dysentery, and acclimatization.

Others might not care about it, but he knew in his heart that preparations for the strategic supplies for the Western Expedition had already begun.

……

Palace, Palace of Diligence.

Jin Rushan, the chief treasurer of the Huangshang Bank, who is regarded as the living god of wealth by the business community, is bowing his waist and humbly reporting work to the middle-aged woman in front of him. He doesn't have the air of a "living god of wealth".

"Rushan, how long have you been working in the Imperial Commercial Bank?" the eldest grandson Wugou asked as if chatting about everyday life.

"My lady, I was first appreciated by my lady to be in charge of the Liuli Pavilion, and then I took care of the Imperial Commercial Bank for you. It has been 25 years." Jin Rushan's waist was even lower, and he answered more cautiously.

He knows a truth very well, when the people above suddenly talk to you about some incomprehensible topics.It's not that there is a problem with the people above, but that you are about to have a problem.

"He is in charge of the Imperial Commercial Bank, and the money he handles every day is in the millions, even the Minister of the Household Department is not as good as you." The eldest grandson Wugou boasted.

A thin layer of sweat broke out on Jin Rushan's forehead, and his waist was almost touching the ground.

"Your Majesty, I'm just joking. I'm just a servant who takes care of the Imperial Commercial Bank for you. How dare I compare myself with the Ministry."

Changsun Wugou said with concern: "What's wrong with you, why are you sweating so much?"

A sincere smile appeared on Jin Rushan's face: "Thank you, Madam, I feel a little weak recently, and I will be fine in a few days."

The eldest grandson Wugou said: "That's good. When I get older, my body and bones are not as good as before. Recently, I always feel chest tightness and shortness of breath. It's not as good as before."

Jin Rushan had a thousand thoughts in his mind, is he too old?Your body is broken?Does this imply that I should hand over power?
No, he immediately denied it.The Imperial Commercial Bank is different from the imperial court. The imperial court still needs a reason for appointing and dismissing officials. The Imperial Commercial Bank is a commercial firm.

She wants to go by herself and just say it, there is no need to go around in circles, so what is the purpose of saying this?
"The subordinates are indeed old after sixty years, but the empress is still elegant and dare not say old."

"Hehe, don't comfort me, people will grow old. This old age always reminds me of the past. I remember that Shen Guogong recommended you to me. At that time, you just got into business and were cheated out of your wealth." Changsun Wugou laughed road.

"Yes, thanks to Shen Guogong, this kindness is hard to repay in my life." Jin Rushan said gratefully.

"You really should repay him well. In the blink of an eye, 25 years have passed. Back then, the Royal Commercial Bank had only a few fronts, but now it has become a behemoth that can influence Datang." Changsun Wugou said with emotion:
"You have also changed from a bankrupt businessman to a living god of wealth with 300 million wealth, let's..."

"Putong." Before she finished speaking, Jin Rushan knelt on the ground and said fearfully, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Changsun Wugou said indifferently: "Speak well, what are you doing, get up."

Jin Rushan was even more terrified, and said: "Sub... this subordinate...I'm sorry for your majesty, this subordinate has failed your majesty's trust. For the sake of my hard work over the years, please forgive me."

Changsun Wugou sneered and said, "Now you know you are afraid?"

Jin Rushan didn't dare to speak, just kowtowed.

"Tell me about what you have done these years, and see if there is any difference from what I found out. Don't take chances, but if you don't match one thing, you know the consequences." Changsun Wugou said.

Jin Rushan knew that she did not grasp all the charges against her, but as she said, she did not know how much she had.

What if she happened to know what she was hiding... This kind of thing would definitely happen.

So he didn't dare to hide anything, and explained everything he had done over the years.

In fact, Jin Rushan's hands are still clean, and he did not wantonly embezzle the property of the Imperial Commercial Bank.

There are three biggest problems:
One is that at the beginning, he used the credit method to give the goods of Huangshang to his brother, and after selling them, he came back to fill the account, and made the first pot of gold in this way.

He didn't dare to do it after he had the capital. At most, the firm under his brother's name could get goods from the Imperial Firm without queuing.

The second is to lend usury, hold the money that the Royal Commercial Bank is responsible for the escort for a longer period of time, and release it for "turnaround". There is a lot of money on the books, and the income generated will belong to them.

The third is to accept bribes. The Royal Commercial Bank is engaged in technical monopoly businesses. Glass, liquor, soap, perfume, etc. are all exclusive businesses, and the supply of goods exceeds demand.

If you want to get the goods, you have to queue up, sometimes for several months.Time is money, some people will secretly bribe if they don’t want to wait, and whoever pays will deliver the goods in advance.

Strictly speaking, he did not directly take the money from the Royal Commercial Bank, but his family has grown from a shabby household to a wealthy businessman with a fortune of 25 million in 300 years, all relying on the Royal Commercial Bank.

In terms of comparison, he is indeed more particular, at least he didn't directly touch the money of the commercial bank, nor did he use the name of the imperial commercial bank to bully men and women.

Compared with many of his peers, his problem is not big.But what he did did violate the law.

How to punish him all depends on Changsun Wugou's words.

After listening to him finish his crime, Changsun Wugou didn't say yes or no, he just said angrily:

"How courageous, you used the name of the Imperial Commercial Bank to bully the market and accept bribes. Someone reported this to me before, but you have always been loyal and I have always been unwilling to believe it. I didn't expect that you not only did it, but also went too far than I thought. "

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. For the sake of my subordinate's hard work over the past 20 years, please spare my life. This subordinate is willing to return all the family wealth to the Royal Commercial Bank."

"Return it? To put it bluntly, do you think that returning it can make up for the lost reputation of the Imperial Commercial Bank?" Changsun Wugou scolded.

"Boom, boom, boom." Jin Rushan kowtowed non-stop, and soon his forehead was dripping with blood.

"Okay, let's make the ground dirty." Changsun Wugou knew that the beating was almost done, and his tone relaxed a bit.

Jin Rushan was naturally aware of it, and knew that his life was saved for the time being.As for whether he can save his life, it depends on how to deal with it later.

"Thank you, ma'am, thank you, ma'am."

"The Imperial Commercial Bank is too big, and there is too much money in its hands. You can accumulate tens of thousands of wealth just by passing through casually. It seems that it is necessary to make changes." Changsun Wugou said:

"Help me do one thing, and if you do it, you may not be able to get out of it."
