"Lao Liu, after you have said so much, I also want to ask... Do you know what the surprise Xiyi is talking about is?"
In the Palace of Qianqing, people were talking excitedly After the conclusion of the negotiation, the emperor's inquiry made Zhu Jingyuan very upset.
Didn’t I make it clear enough? Doesn't dad think it's a surprise that Xi Yi makes such a concession? Why do the old man and Old Thirteen want to go together?
Zhu Jingyuan felt uncomfortable, and so did Zhu Xianming.
Lao Liu’s expression of joy really disappointed him.
Just because someone gave him some benefits, he let down his guard and made him his friend, without even realizing that his own roots were about to be dug up...
Before, Zhu Xianming felt that Lao Liu It was okay, but now he had to admit that he had made a mistake.
This kid may be able to be a defensive king, but with enemies on all sides, can he be able to defend it?
If a ruler who maintains success cannot maintain success, of course he is very unqualified.
Zhu Xianming had a general understanding of the on-site negotiations before Zhu Jingyuan arrived.
So he knew that Zhu Jinghong pointed out the problem on the spot, but Zhu Jingyuan has not woken up until now.
Of course, Zhu Xianming also had to admit that under the current difficult circumstances of the court, the conditions offered by the Spaniards were indeed very generous, and it was not too wrong for Lao Liu to be confused.
But how to choose is one thing, whether you understand it in your heart is another. The problem is that Lao Liu still doesn’t understand.
After thinking for a while, Zhu Jingyuan replied: "The surprise is that they are willing to make concessions, and the court can benefit greatly!"
"Although it will occupy several ports in Luzon, it will It makes us lose face, but compared with the benefits... my son thinks it is acceptable!"
In the second half of the sentence, Zhu Jingyuan felt that he was very responsible and said the most practical things, which should make people happy! Dad is happy, this is where he is better than the pedantic prince.
"If there is any infamy, my son is willing to bear it!"
This last sentence made Zhu Jingyuan more confident, thinking that he was really sharing the worries of his father.
After hearing these words from Lao Liu, Zhu Xianming sighed inwardly.
"Lao Liu, do you think there is nothing wrong with these benefits provided by Xiyi?" Zhu Xianming could only ask.
Didn’t I say that I knew there was a problem, but I could accept it... Zhu Jingyuan felt very depressed.
Before he could explain, Zhu Xianming continued: "So they traveled thousands of miles across the sea just to bring us benefits?"
"Don't you think... Are they hiding evil intentions for so much profit?"
"Dad, these people do have bad intentions, but our Ming Dynasty has strong soldiers and horses, are we still afraid of them?" Zhu Jingyuan was very unconvinced.
Zhu Xianming became more and more disappointed, so he asked: "Can our soldiers and horses go to the sea to kill the enemy?"
Of course the soldiers and horses cannot go to the sea, so we must have a strong navy , while SpainYa's purpose was to restrict or destroy Ming Dynasty's naval construction.
“How can a matter of face be a trivial matter?”
“If we value profit but despise justice, how will all the vassals in the world view the Ming Dynasty, and what will happen to our country in heaven..."< /p>
Hearing his old father's tirade, Zhu Jingyuan became more and more unconvinced. He could only think that the emperor was ignoring the overall situation of the court for the sake of his own face.
It seems that the old man has not always been a sage. He is also old... Zhu Jingyuan thought to himself.
Recalling that in history books, those emperors who had made great achievements would become comatose after getting old, he felt that the current situation was normal.
Of course Zhu Xianming was not stupid. The reason why he explained it this way was because he did not want to embarrass Zhu Jinghong.
After all, if the truth is told and some deep-seated things are revealed, it shows that Lao Shisan is smarter than Lao Liu, and the jealousy of the latter will make it difficult for the former.
“So, we can’t agree to any of the conditions of Xiyi!”
“And our request is for them to withdraw from Luzon, which they must agree to! ”
Hearing these words of the old man, Zhu Jingyuan suddenly felt like crying. He felt that the old man was old and comatose, and he was going to waste his family.
And he, Zhu Jingyuan, will be the next emperor, and the old man will defeat his family.
"Dad, if we can't reach an agreement..."
"Then fight!" Zhu Xianming said firmly.
At this moment, Zhu Jingyuan had nothing to say.
He knew that if he spoke any more, the old man would probably be angry, and he would have to bear the anger.
So Zhu Jingyuan is scared, and he doesn't dare to take responsibility now.
But in fact, if he argued harder, the emperor would not be too angry, but would think more highly of him.
If you don’t compare with Zhu Jinghong, Zhu Jingyuan is actually very good.
"Let's talk in two days. If they still don't let go, then stop talking!"
"Yes!"
The father and son here They parted unhappily, and at this time, outside the Qianhu Office in Nancheng, Fusi, North Town, a eunuch dismounted and showed the greeting card, and was then led in by the school captain on duty.
This person did not look for anyone. Instead, he went directly to the lobby of Qianhu Wang Jiyang, who welcomed him out after hearing the news.
"Hey, Eunuch Xu, why are you here? Do you have something to give me?" Wang Jiyang greeted him with a smile.
This person comes from the Guangyang Palace, so of course Wang Jiyang must give him some face.
This Eunuch Xu did not dare to ask for help, and quickly bowed and returned the greeting: "Wang Qianhu, don't you have something to do, so you can't come to visit?"
"What are you talking about? The Yamen is open, and my father-in-law can come at any time!"
"Please..."
After being polite for a while, the two went to sit down in the back room, and a servant had brought tea.
"My father-in-law is here to serve the third master. I'm here today...but what are your orders?""
This Eunuch Xu is called Xu Cheng. He is one of the eunuchs in charge of the Guangyang Palace, equivalent to Deng An and Zhang Ping'an of the Xiang Palace.
His coming today is equivalent to He came on behalf of Zhu Jingrun, so Wang Jiyang didn’t dare to neglect him at all.
“Wang Qianhu, I don’t dare to accept the order... It’s just that our prince has a small favor and needs your help! "
Before Wang Jiyang asked what the business was, Xu Cheng continued: "Don't worry, our prince will not treat Wang Qianhu badly! "
While speaking, Xu Cheng reached into his arms and took out five silver notes.
"These are five thousand taels of silver notes, which are the prince's gratitude... Please help Mr. Qianhu! ”
When Wang Jiyang was given five thousand taels of silver notes at a time, he sighed at the generosity of this third master, and also thought about whether the matter would be difficult to handle.
So he did not rush to accept it, but He asked: "Father, what are you talking about? Third Master has ordered me to say so. If you take these things, you are a heretic!" "
"Hey... Friendship is friendship, and the rules cannot be messed up. If you always make people work in vain, who will give our palace face in the future! "
At this point, Wang Jiyang didn't want to waste his words, so he asked directly: "But I don't know what the third master wants to order?
Xu Cheng did not show off, and said with ease: "There is a slave in the house named Liu San. He may have done something sneaky, and your Jin Yiwei took it away today!" "
"If this person has really done something wrong, he should be punished according to the laws of the country, but after all, he is a person close to the prince. If he is punished according to the public law... the prince's face will not look good! "
Paying close attention to Wang Jiyang's expression, Xu Cheng continued: "So what the prince means is, can you hand this person over to me, take the lock back and beat him to death! "
"This will not only punish his crimes, but also take the opportunity to rectify the palace! "
It sounds very reasonable, but Wang Jiyang always feels that something is wrong, and he can't explain what is wrong.
"Wang Qianhu? "
"Oh...oh...I don't know about this yet. How about I give my father-in-law an answer after I ask someone about it? "Wang Jiyang looked around and talked about him.
Wang Jiyang is naturally very cautious to be able to secure a position with thousands of households in a government office like Beizhen Fusi.
This matter seems to be It was a small matter, but he still didn't give the order casually.
Xu Cheng was not sure whether Liu San's arrest was related to that incident, but now he knew that Wang Jiyang didn't know about it. That matter was very involved. If the truth had been exposed, Wang Jiyang would definitely supervise the case personally, and he would definitely not say that he wanted to know the details of the case.
This made Xu Cheng feel more at ease, and he wanted to take Liu San away as soon as possible. .
The reason is very simple. Now that Wang Jiyang does not know the case, it does not mean that the arresting officer did not find out the clues.
If it really needs to be delayed for a while, Liu San said it shouldn't be done after being tortured. If you say that, it will be a big trouble.
"Wang Qianhu, this little thing... doesn't have to be so troublesome!"
Sighing, Xu Cheng looked worried and said: "You also know that our prince has always been cautious, for fear of making even the slightest mistake! "
As a Qianhu in Fusi, Beizhen, Wang Jiyang knows very well how the first two princes died, so he understands Zhu Jingrun's situation very well.
"I learned that something like this happened in the palace. Damn it, the prince was so anxious that he fainted, but the doctors finally saved him! "
"As soon as the prince woke up, he ordered me to take him back and said he would punish him severely personally! "
After laying the groundwork, Xu Cheng bowed his hands and said: "Wang Qianhu, for the sake of the prince's health, please raise your hand! "
Xu Cheng's words were completely without the airs of an envoy from the royal palace, and they were moved with emotion and reason. If Wang Jiyang did not agree, it would appear to be unkind.
" Wang Qianhu, you also know...the Guangyang Palace has been walking on thin ice in these years. You can't just die without saving me! "
If a little eunuch breaks the law, it will bring disaster to the palace. The King of Guangyang is too careful... Wang Jiyang thought so.
But this side explanation, the little eunuch It shouldn’t be a big problem, after all, the fault tolerance rate of Guangyang Palace is so low.
“Come here, ask...if you captured a father-in-law today, if so, bring him here! "Wang Jiyang gave instructions.
Hearing what Wang Jiyang said, Xu Cheng felt relieved.
Putting down the winning banknote, Xu Cheng said with a smile: "Thank you Wang Qianhu , The palace accepts your kindness today, and you will be grateful afterwards! "
"If Wang Qianhu needs help in the future, just send someone to greet him! ”
Wang Jiyang didn’t take Xu Cheng’s polite words to heart, because the Guangyang Palace was basically unable to help him.
The only thing the other party had that was useful to him was the coffee table. The banknote... Thinking of this, Wang Jiyang glanced over inadvertently.
This happened to be seen by Xu Cheng. It was a good thing for him that this guy loved money. After all, money can only solve problems. Not a problem.
The two chatted for a while, and soon a captain rushed over. To Xu Cheng’s disappointment, Liu San didn’t come.
“No. This person? "Wang Jiyang asked.
"Sir, there is such a person, but General Zhao Zhi and Zhao Qi said that this person was involved in an important case and he did not dare to release him without authorization! ”
In each Qianhu Office in Beizhen Fusi, the team leaders who do specific work are basically small flag officials. It is true that there are not many cases where the general flag is responsible.
Not at the moment. When I was concerned, the problem now was that in front of outsiders, his authority in Qianhu was challenged.
As the official Qianhu, Wang Jiyang has a great say in Qianhu, and he is by no means a general manager. Qi can come and provoke.
“Let Ren Fucai come to see me! "Wang Jiyang said coldly.
Ren Fucai is Zhao Zhi's immediate boss because he has an official position in hundreds of households.
It seems too low-key for him to speak directly to a general bannerman with thousands of households.
"Yes!" So the captain went to send another message.
After the captain left, he heard Xu Cheng say: "I heard before that Jinyiwei's family law is very strict, but I didn't expect..."
"Wang Qianhu, don't leave. I don’t have any other intentions. I think you treat others with kindness, so..."
"Oh, look at my bad mouth, I should be beaten..."
< p>Xu Cheng's words made Wang Jiyang more and more angry, but he just kept a cold face and didn't say much.About two minutes later, the captain who sent the message came back again, this time he came back alone.
"Ren Fucai is not here?" Wang Jiyang asked coldly.
The captain no longer dared to speak any more.
"Wang Qianhu, look at this...I never thought that it would be so difficult to handle at this time!"
For fear that Wang Jiyang would calm down, Xu Cheng continued to say: " Oops... If there is nothing I can do, I will have to go back to the prince and let him find another way!"
"Ouch, the royal affairs involve a lot, and I don't know how much trouble it will cause. !"
"I'll go and see for myself!" Wang Jiyang stood up angrily.
With a flick of his sleeves, Wang Jiyang walked out of the lobby. Behind him, Xu Cheng's smile flashed on his face, and he followed him out.
The Thousand Household Offices in Nancheng are not small. Each Hundred Household Office has a small courtyard. Daily management, such as ordering money and paying wages, are all delegated to the Hundred Household Office level.
When they arrived at the Baihu Office where Ren Fucai was staying, this guy had already led people to welcome him out.
"I am humbled to pay homage to Mr. Qianhu!"
Ren Fucai led his two small flag officers and saluted Wang Jiyang respectfully.
"This Ren Baihu is really majestic!" Xu Cheng's voice sounded at the right time.
Wang Jiyang's slightly calmer mood suddenly became angry again.
Walking to Ren Fucai, Wang Jiyang asked coldly: "Ren Baihu, you are so powerful and majestic, you turn a deaf ear to my words!"
"How dare you humble your position!" Ren Fucai hooked up. He bent down and replied.
"Don't you dare? I asked you to let him go? Why didn't you obey the order?"
Ren Fucai replied: "Sir, this person is involved in a major case, so we can't let him go casually. ”
“A big case? Do you know who the person arrested is?” He didn't dare to say it because such things couldn't be said in public.
To be more precise, if the investigation is related to a royal scandal, you should not take the initiative to touch it unless the task comes up.
"Sir, I know who this person is because of my humble position, but state-owned and national laws..."
Before Ren Fu could finish his words, Wang Jiyang scolded: "Then what crime did he commit? What method?" Wang
"This...thisThe case is complicated, and the humble position is..."
Ren Fucai really answered seriously, but in Wang Jiyang's view, this was just prevarication, and could even be said to be a public humiliation of him, a Qianhu.
"Shut up! "
After being scolded by Wang Jiyang again, Ren Fucai could only shut up.
"I will give you another chance, let me go now! "Wang Jiyang's tone was decisive.
He was very angry, but Xu Chengze behind him was even more worried. He knew that Liu San was probably exposed.
"Master Qianhu, this is not a humble position. If he is not released, it is actually Li Qianhu who has given instructions, and those with low status must be investigated strictly, otherwise..."
Li Wenzhao is deputy Qianhu, but at this moment, he is being used to block Wang Jiyang, which is even more embarrassing for later generations. The reporter was furious.
“Now I am instructing you to let him go immediately! "
"Sir, Li Qianhu's side..."
After talking about this, Ren Fucai still refused to let go, completely hurting Wang Jiyang and broke out.
"Can I give instructions? "
"I ask you if I can give you instructions? ”
After scolding him for two consecutive times, Wang Jiyang couldn’t hold it back and kicked Ren Fucai in the chest, knocking him directly to the ground.
Wang Jiyang is also a practicing practitioner. The kick was so severe that Ren Fucai was stunned and couldn't get up immediately.
"What's going on?" ”
