Chapter 204 Robbery (Part 2)
Chapter 204 Robbery (Part 1)
If you don’t have a long way of life, you will have immediate concerns. Although Yinzuo is now in a prosperous situation, everything goes well and is very happy, some things still make Yinzuo worry. Most of Yinzuo’s secret laboratories are in the south of the Yangtze River. The research there is not entirely for civilian purposes. There are many studies related to the innovation of firearms. If you are interested in ginseng, it would be a fatal matter. Fortunately, Mr. Guo Xiu is in charge on the ground of Liangjiang, and there will be no mistakes in a short period of time. But the problem is that Mr. Guo Xiu is old and in poor health. It is really hard to say how long he can last. In Yinzuo’s opinion, Mr. Guo Xiu’s body can last for a year or two and have to retire and return home. Who will take over as the governor of Liangjiang will become a big problem.
Yinzuo has not many servants. Although they are all talented, their qualifications are a little weaker. It is not realistic to be a high position like the Governor of Liangjiang, but this problem is not impossible to solve. Among the court officials who are close to Yinzuo, three have the qualifications and abilities to take up this position - Fan Shijie, the current Minister of Works, Shi Shilun, the Governor of Yunnan, and Yu Chenglong, the Director of the General Administration of Customs.
Shi Shilun was just released, and it was too difficult to be transferred to the position of governor of Liangjiang in a short period of time; the General Administration of Customs is an important department, and Yu Chenglong cannot be easily transferred. Moreover, although Yu Chenglong is close to Yinzuo, he is not a direct line, and Yinzuo dares not fully trust Comrade Lao Yu. In this way, there is only one choice left - Fan Shijie, the Minister of Works. Comrade Lao Fan is not a slave of Yinzuo's disciple, and he cannot be considered Yinzuo's direct line. However, there is one thing that Comrade Lao Fan knows the current affairs. Although he has no private relationship with Yinzuo, he has always been the only leader of Yinzuo. Every time when a court debate begins, Comrade Lao Fan resolutely stands on Yinzuo's side.
According to the Qing official system, the ministers and governors of each department were at the same level, and they were both second-ranked. On the surface, it seemed that Fan Shijie was just a transfer to the governor of Liangjiang. In fact, it was not the case. The official title of the minister was not low, but in the capital, the princes were walking all over the ground, and there were many high-ranking officials, and the ministers were nothing. The governors' title was on the same level as the ministers of the ministers, but the governors were a chief official and could be considered a local emperor. The power in his hands was much greater than that of the ministers of each department. If they were not relatives and nobles, they would have no way to take the position of governors. Fan Shijie wanted to be transferred to the governors of Liangjiang. Once the position of governors was vacant, all the princes' eyes would be immediately red, and everyone wanted to take the position of governors under their own family.
Yinzuo can be promoted, and the other end of the Ministry of Personnel can also be connected. With Fan Shijie's political achievements over the years, the old man's level is not too big. Of course, the prerequisite is that Yinzuo can suppress other princes and not let them come out to make trouble. The prince who can compete with Yinzuo is actually the fourth and eighth brothers. The other princes have no weight, and even the third brothers have no hope. Yinzuo has caught a chance at this moment, and he has to fight a robbery and hit the fourth brothers, right? Now, Yinzuo went to the Ministry of Works early in the morning to handle official duties. He spent a long afternoon. Finally, when the fourth brother, who was working a job, hit the Ministry of Revenue, returned to the residence, Yinzuo did not delay much, and immediately took a sedan chair and then rushed to the outside of the fourth brother's mansion.
Yinzhen was in a bad mood recently. He had planned well and had a big mistake at the end. Although he would not lose a lot, it was not easy to win. This mistake was just the one who made a mistake in it. However, Yinzhen, a side-sen, could only suffer a loss and was upset. Today, he hurriedly handled some miscellaneous things and went home to prepare for the morning court to discuss the matter the morning of the next morning. He never thought that he had just entered the study and before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the housekeeper Gao Fuer came to report: "Prince Yi has arrived outside the mansion."
Yinzhen knew about Yinzuo's return to Beijing yesterday, but he didn't know what it meant to visit him at this critical moment. He was stunned for a moment and looked at Tang Guoming suspiciously and said, "Sir, Lao Liu is..."
Tang Guoming pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "Sixth Master is taking advantage of the situation to rob."
When Yinzhen thought of Nian Gengyao being kicked to Yunnan for no reason, his heart suddenly became angry. His already blue face suddenly turned pale, and he said with a slight angrily: "I won't see you, I'll say that I'm sick, so let him come back another day if you have something to do."
Gao Fu'er responded, and was about to turn around and leave the room, Tang Guoming said, "Stop! Your Majesty is better to meet the Sixth Master. If the Sixth Master falls to the Eighth Master, things will probably be worse."
"Well, okay, I will go to meet Lao Liu now and see what he wants to play." Yinzhen thought for a while.
Tang Guoming thought quickly and said, "Your Majesty is going, but I believe that the Sixth Master will not make too many requests. The Prince only needs to agree first and then discuss it." Yinzhen nodded without saying a word, walked out of the study room and went straight out of the mansion.
This is probably what happened. The fourth brother had not come out yet, but Yinzuo was not in a hurry. He listened to the doormen under the fourth brother's door with a smile, and he didn't say anything. He just waved the folding fan leisurely and waited.
"Oh, what wind blows the sixth brother? I'll welcome you if you have any mistakes. I'll forgive you for your crimes." Yinzhen smiled and greeted him from the gate.
Hehe, what wind? It's naturally the wind that knocks on the bamboo pole. When will I wait until I don't knock? Yinzuo felt very happy and his face was even more brilliant: "I got off the Jiangnan in front of me and got some good tea. I thought about the fourth brother, so I'm going to be here. I'm here to deliver it to my door."
The fourth brother of Yinzuo was naturally aware of the purpose of Yinzuo. At this time, seeing Yinzuo's innocent smile and listening to the sincere words, he felt so tired of it, but he had no choice but to smile and say, "The sixth brother is in love, my brother is born, leave, and talk in the house."
The fourth brother was promoted to the prince, and the mansion was renovated and several halls were built. However, this guy was frugal by nature, and the second was that he didn't have much money. The building was magnificent, but the decoration was much simpler. Not to mention that he was not as good as Yinzuo's Prince's Mansion, he was much worse than other prince's Beile Mansion. Yinzuo had been in the fourth brother's mansion for a long time. As he walked along the way, he felt a little emotional in his heart - the fourth brother is thrifty and capable, and he is really a good person. Hey, if he hadn't met us, this guy could be called extremely excellent. Unfortunately, there was only one gold chair, and there was no way, so we could only take it first. Haha, if it was possible in the future, we might as well use the fourth brother. At this time, we can only beat the fourth brother down first.
In Yin'an Hall, the two brothers sat down according to the guest of the host. After the servants brewed the tea, they all left. Both brothers did not rush to speak, and each tasted the tea. A strange cold incident occurred in the hall. Yinzuo was clearly here to beat the bamboo pole, so he would not be polite. He smiled and said: "Fourth brother, I went to Jiangnan in front of me, but I heard that the Thirteenth brother was making a fuss in Henan. It is not a big deal now that the city is full of wind and rain. What do you think, Fourth brother?"
Yinzhen did not expect that Yinzuo would not even have a greeting and transition and just talked about the serious matters in a straightforward way. He didn't know how to answer for a while. He was stunned for a while, and glanced at Yinzuo and said calmly: "What does the sixth brother mean? Even if there is a clown making a fuss, he will eventually be destroyed. The emperor, Ama, will never tolerate villains."
Oh, little girl, even I scolded me, I have a genius, hey, even the emperor has taken it out, interesting, the fourth brother is in a mess! Yinzuo brought up the important matters as soon as he came, in order to disrupt Yinzhen's heart. Seeing that his purpose had been achieved, he stopped continuing the topic and said with a smile: "What the Fourth Brother said is very true. This is a stake in this place, and the officials and gentry are the best strategy to benefit the country and the people. I have always known it, haha, the emperor also knows it, right? Ah, by the way,
This time, I went to Jiangnan to see Guo Xiu, who was famous all over the world. Lord Guo, alas, time is not forgiving. I wonder how energetic Mr. Guo was when he was a student of the Ming Pearl. Now he is sick and is talking to me about resigning from his post. I comforted Mr. Guo very much. However, Lord Guo has decided to leave. This matter is a bit difficult. Liangjiang is a place where the court has paid a heavy tax. No matter how much, there must be a member of the government to serve as a town, right? What do I think?”
After a long discussion, Yinzuo actually has only two meanings - first, we give the memorials to pay the food together by officials and gentry. We know very well what is wrong with it. If you Yinzhen doesn’t cooperate, hey, you will be a little sorry; the second point is Yinzuo’s real purpose: If we have the candidate for the Governor of Liangjiang, you Yinzhen doesn’t have to count on this position. If you don’t cooperate, hey, please refer to the first article.
Yinzhen was not a fool, so how could he not hear what Yinzuo meant? Seeing Yinzuo threatening him so nakedly, the fire in his heart suddenly rose, his face turned ashen, and his breath became much heavier. He was determined to get angry, but he was always worried, for fear that Yinzuo would really turn to the eighth side. If he surrendered, he would weaken his own aura. He didn't know what to do for a moment. He had a cold face, bit his lip, and was silently angry, and the hall calmed down again.
Hey, you're angry, it's okay. Even if you are angry, no matter how angry you are, you still have to cooperate with us honestly. At worst, your fourth brother will find an opportunity to knock us. Haha, it's great! Yinzuo felt relieved, but his face was very peaceful. He didn't speak, just waiting for the fourth brother to take the call.
