Chapter 1104 Ezhe Returns
When Meng Zhaoxiang saw the visitor, his eyes lit up and he raised his hand and said, "Brother Yu, congratulations."
The visitor was Yu Chenglong. He looked up and raised his hand to Meng Zhaoxiang and the other two, and smiled: "Three people, even friends, are now one of them won the first place in Jing Zhengchao, one of them won the second place, and one of them won the second place in high school. This must be a good story. I admire them and yearn for them."
Cao Dingjiao and Wei Xuelian looked at each other. This person said it was open and sincere, but he always felt a little strange.
Meng Zhaoxiang, however, was extremely polite and said: "The three of us have been in the Zhengyuan for many years, and this time we have mostly asked questions related to the Zhengyuan. Brother Yu was outside the Zhengyuan and was able to study in high school. I was really shocked. Brother Yu's knowledge is probably more than one of us and the other three."
Cao Dingjiao and Wei Xuelian were even more strange. This was the first time they saw Meng Zhaoxiang brag about someone like this. The two couldn't help but look at Yu Chenglong, and they became suspicious.
Seeing Meng Zhaoxiang so polite, Yu Chenglong looked quite happy and said, "Brother Meng is polite, it's a lucky thing to be. The three of you have already become officials, and I'm just here for the first time. I still need more support from you in the same year."
Cao Dingjiao and Wei Xuelian were getting more and more disgusted, and they carefully observed Yu Chenglong.
Meng Zhaoxiang seemed to have not realized it and said, "Brother Yu is polite. Governor Li has praised him many times, which can be seen as Brother Yu's great talent."
Yu Chenglong looked at the three of them and said humbly: "Brother Meng laughed, Governor Li just said casually, "The three of them are going to celebrate. Can you bring me with me?"
Meng Zhaoxiang smiled and said, "The three of us really plan to celebrate, but Lao Meng's uncle and cousin will return to Beijing soon. We still have to go to their yard to clean. I'm afraid it won't work today."
Yu Chenglong glanced at Cao Dingjiao and immediately said, "Brother Cao, congratulations. I am afraid that my uncle will not leave after entering Beijing this time?"
Sun Chengzong was about to retire, and it was rumored that Cao Wenzhao's succession was getting stronger and stronger in the court and country, and it was almost well known.
Cao Dingjiao calmly and said, "It's just rumors. Brother Yu is a wise man. How could he follow the crowd?"
Yu Chenglong looked at Cao Dingjiao deeply and said with a smile: "I will not disturb you when I see you laughing, I will see you again."
Meng Zhaoxiang raised his hand politely and watched Yu Chenglong leave very neatly.
Wei Xuelian was equal to Jackie Chan, and then looked at Meng Zhaoxiang and said in confusion: "Old Meng, what is this person's background? Why did you flatter me like this?"
Meng Zhaoxiang ignored him, looked at Yu Chenglong's disappearing back and said slowly: "The auditors of Nanzhili Academy, Shanxi, Nanzhili, Shaanxi and Xi'an, jointly recommended by the governors of the three provinces. I heard that Mr. Bi Ge also attaches great importance to it. This time, the Tanhua is said to be the one appointed by Zhao Tianguan."
Wei Xuelian's scalp became numb when he heard this and felt like his head was about to explode. The water was too deep inside, so he didn't dare to think about it.
Cao Dingjiao nodded and said to himself: "This can be regarded as a comfort to Nanzhili."
Meng Zhaoxiang said: "This Yu Chenglong is from the West. I heard that there are some donations from merchants behind him."
Wei Xuelian raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "The background of this Yu Chenglong is so complicated..."
Cao Dingjiao was also surprised that the "Shang Gang" was gradually rising in the Ming Dynasty. Although it had not been revealed in the court, in the local area, from the Salt Gang to obtaining imperial examination quotas during the Tianqi period, to Zhou Jianyu, He Yunshan and others entering the house, there have been quite a few voices and should not be underestimated.
What's more, now the proportion of commercial income in the national treasury accounts for more than one-third, and the business gang on Shanyou is well-known in the Ming Dynasty.
Yu Chenglong left Cao Dingjiao and the other two. As soon as he arrived at a restaurant not far away, a group of fat and big-eared businessmen rushed out.
"Beiming, I expected you to be in high school. Sure enough, no surprise, high school Tanhua!"
"Haha, it's not in vain that we value it so much. Come on, we have prepared a banquet..."
"I will not return until I am drunk today. Come on, there are still a few people upstairs, just waiting for you in Beiming..."
Beiming, the word Yu Chenglong.
When Yu Chenglong saw this, he looked happy and said, "I'm sorry, please wait for a long time."
"Please please."
The group of people were extremely happy and surrounded Yu Chenglong and went upstairs. They were naturally drinking and chatting, and it was so lively.
The imperial examination is destined to be a big show, and the government and the country are in full swing.
When the capital was lively, the huge delegation led by King Ping slowly arrived in Guihua City.
In the main hall of Guihua City, King Ping Zhu Changrun sat high, and below were King Lu, Minister of Mongolia Shen Yongmao, Minister of Personnel Zhao Han, Minister of Rites Chen Xun, General of Liaodong Xiong Tingbi, He Hucheng and other important officials of the Ming Dynasty.
King Ping looked at everyone and said, "The envoys of Mongolian tribes will arrive tomorrow. The rituals that should be prepared are also ready. Tell me, what else do you have to do?"
The King of Lu came this time to represent the clan mansion and accepted the new enthronement of these Mongolian princes. He thought for a while and said, "Prince, there are as many as 126 princes enthroned this time, and there are more than 400 princes, and they are hereditary. If they go to enthronement one by one, I am afraid that it will not be completed within half a year. Can you read it here at one time?"
King Ping shook his head and said, "This matter cannot be saved. The Zongren Mansion includes a clear disc here. Other matters will be handled by the Ministry of Rites."
The King of Lu paused for a moment and did not speak.
Shen Yongmao said, "Prince, some of the people sent to me by tribes are over 100, twenty or twenty, and some are one or two hundred, and the most are only five hundred. There are already five thousand people in a row. Although the subordinates can command, they are civil officials after all. If they are in charge, they will be uneasy..."
King Ping looked at Shen Yongmao, thought for a while, and said, "The Emperor did not tell me about this matter, what do you think?"
Zhao Han and Chen Xun looked at each other and pondered.
The "rejection" of the Mongolian tribe is still nominal for the Ming Dynasty. The Mongolian tribes need peace with the Ming Dynasty and concentrate on dealing with the Russian invasion. The Ming Dynasty is resting and needs external peace. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty is not binding enough on Mongolia. Even if he gives the Emperor of Ming Dynasty this time, it is a "routine" and completes the procedure.
At this moment, Xiong Tingbi suddenly spoke and said, "Kulun is too close to Wala and is in the hinterland of Mongolia in northern deserts. They must have some concerns. If they can be placed in this Guihua City, they may be able to solve the problem."
He Hucheng's eyes lit up and said, "Mr. Xiong's idea is just right. Guihua City is also the location of the Mongolian Khan. Mobei and Moxi are far enough away from here. It can not only increase the strength of this cavalry, but also make Mobei and Moxi Mongolia rest assured, kill two birds with one stone!"
King Ping looked at the others and said, "That's all about this. I will write a memorial for the emperor later. I will sign it together with you sir..."
"Report to the prince!"
Suddenly, an imperial guard rushed in and shouted anxiously.
King Ping frowned slightly and said, "What's the matter? I'm so panicked and I have no moral integrity at all."
"Back to the prince,"
The guard raised his head, looked at King Ping, and said with excitement, "The concubine of Lin Danhan brought Lin Danhan's son Ezhe to surrender!"
