Wenzhao Pavilion.
Zhu Youzhen looked at Liu Mao, his face was clear, he was full of energy, his eyes were bright, and he nodded secretly, which met his requirements for election officials.
Liu Mao was not a little restrained, talked a lot, and said at length: "Lord, the post station is not of any use at all now, all of them are for the private use of dignitaries and nobles, not to mention the local government and yamen, and the various yamen in the capital alone, the silver taels that are spent from the post station every year are millions.
The post station is no longer owned by the imperial court, and it is really unbearable......"
Zhu Youzhen listened quietly, his expression was majestic and indifferent.
In his opinion, Liu Mao has obviously carefully checked and told the truth, which is reasonable and well-founded.
Liu Mao talked for a while, and said in a summary manner, "Lord Wang, the post station is useless for the country and the people, and the lower officials suggest that it be abolished, and the silver taels saved can be used for Liaodong and guard the Beijing Division, which is where it should be used." ” Zhu Youzhen was very impressed with the use in Liaodong, although he did not know what the current situation in Liaodong was, but it was a fact that Liaodong lacked silver in previous years.
He looked at Liu Mao, nodded with a smile, and said approvingly: "What Liu Qing said is very true, this king intends to hand over the matter of abolishing the post station to you, and when the time comes, he will let the six departments cooperate with you." ” Liu Mao's eyes flashed with joy, and he bowed down and said, "Thank you to the prince, the lower officials will never live up to the trust of the prince!"
” Zhu Youzhen smiled with satisfaction, if this Liu Mao did well, he didn't mind being promoted and reused, and Wen Zhaoge was also in urgent need of talents.
Zhu Youzhen tried a few words to send Liu Mao away, Wang Chengen suddenly ran in in a hurry, and whispered in Zhu Youzhen's ear: "Lord Wang, Master Fu is here." ” 'Master Fu?
’ Zhu Youzhen frowned, and then woke up violently, full of Daming, worthy of this title, that is, Fu Tao who controls Zhu Xu's great chamber of commerce.
Zhu Youzhen's expression was slightly gloomy, Fu Tao is Zhu Xu's cousin, although he is Zhu Xu's fifth brother, but in terms of closeness, he is not as close as this Fu eldest son.
He nodded at Liu Mao, motioned for Wang Chengen to send him out, and then went to pick up Fu Tao in person.
Liu Mao walked out of Wenzhao Pavilion and exhaled fiercely, he had the power to abolish the post station, he was going to soar!
At the same time, Fu Tao walked into Wenzhao Pavilion.
Zhu Youzhen was very enthusiastic, took Fu Tao's arm, walked into his room, and said with a smile: "It's the first time you come to me, come on, Wang Chengen has tea, good tea!"
” Fu Tao laughed with him, he knew that King Xin and Zhu Xu secretly didn't deal with each other, and he was thinking about how to speak.
Zhu Youzhen personally pulled a stool for Fu Tao and asked him to sit down, and after the two drank tea, Zhu Youzhen smiled and said: "Let's talk about it, if there is anything you can help, this king will definitely help." ” Zhu Youzhen was smiling on his face, but he was very vigilant in his heart, Fu Tao came to him, it was impossible for Jingyang Palace not to know, and he didn't know what idea he was making.
Fu Tao looked at Zhu Youzhen, and was also worried in his heart, if it had been organized, it would be useless, so he had to look at Zhu Youzhen and asked directly: "Lord, I heard that you want to abolish the post station?"
” Really!
Zhu Youzhen knew that it must have been revealed to Fu Tao by Jingyang Palace, and when he didn't know what the idea was over there, his face remained unchanged, and his heart was secretly tight, and he said: "Well, there are too many ills in the post station, and it should be abolished, and the emperor also agreed." ” Fu Tao laughed for a while, and his heart was awkward, it was all business in the past, and his father was in government affairs, Zhu Xu arranged it, but now in the face of Zhu Youzhen, he was embarrassed, and he still said hard: "Lord Wang, you also know that my Chamber of Commerce relies on the post station very much, is there still room for turnaround?"
” Zhu Youzhen's expression moved slightly, and while observing Fu Tao, he wondered whether it was Zhu Xu's meaning, and said in a deep voice: "The emperor's imperial approval has been issued, and this matter has not been resolved." ” In fact, he is also tempting, and now he doesn't know what Zhu Xu's purpose is, which makes him extremely worried, afraid that Zhu Xu will make some big moves again.
Fu Tao also pretended to think for a while, and said: "Lord, as far as I know, the imperial court spends less than 500,000 silver on the post station every year, and I will invest 600,000 taels to buy all the post stations, you see, is it okay?"
” Zhu Youzhen was stunned, and said a little confused: "You mean, you want to buy the next station?"
” Fu Tao nodded with an embarrassed expression and said, "Yes, too much of my business depends on the post station, and without the post station, the loss is too great."
Since the imperial court wants to abolish it, it is better to sell it to me. ” Zhu Youzhen's expression was stunned and stunned, he never thought that Fu Tao was here for this, and his heart couldn't turn around for a while.
Fu Tao was also entangled, this buying 'yamen' from the imperial court was really weird and indescribable.
After a while, Zhu Youzhen came to his senses, he tried his best to make his expression natural, looked at Fu Tao and said, "This, is what the emperor meant?"
” Fu Tao hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, it was my idea." ” Zhu Youzhen looked at Fu Tao, he didn't know what to say, in his mind, Zhu Xu was so good at business, it was probably the influence of the Fu family's father and son.
Fu Tao was silent, no one could do this kind of thing except Zhu Xu.
Zhu Youzhen looked at Fu Tao and thought about it for a while, there was no obstacle to selling it to Fu Tao, not to mention, there must be Zhu Xu's meaning here.
It's just that, putting aside Fu Tao's background, a businessman asked him, the prime minister, to buy the imperial court's 'yamen', no matter how you look at it, it feels wrong.
Fu Tao saw that Zhu Youzhen didn't speak for a while, so he had to take out the negotiation methods of the businessman and said, "Lord Wang, if you think the silver is not suitable, can you make a price?"
” Zhu Youzhen frowned, he didn't like vendors, and he didn't like merchants, if it weren't for Fu Tao's background, where would he have entered Wenzhao Pavilion!
Although Fu Tao's words were uncomfortable for him to hear, he still responded and said with a smile: "If you want, give it to you, 600,000, well, you go to the household......
Let Master Fu write the book, and the king approved it. ” Fu Tao was overjoyed, stood up and said, "Thank you, Lord Wang!"
” Zhu Youzhen didn't care much about this matter, as long as he didn't burden the court.
He looked at Fu Tao and said quietly: "Fu Tao, how much silver can your firm make in a year?"
He knew that those firms made a lot of money every year, but he didn't know exactly how much.
Fu Tao blinked, solved the matter of the post station, he also relaxed, and said with a smile: "I don't know the specific amount, but if the prince needs silver, within two million taels, I can lend it to you, and the interest will be the lowest for you." ” Zhu Youzhen's eyes flashed with shock, and Fu Tao was able to take out two million without blinking, which shows that those few commercial houses have earned far more than this number!
He hid his surprise, didn't care about the word 'borrow', smiled a little stiffly, and said, "Okay." ” Fu Tao was also very awkward in his heart, and reluctantly dealt with Zhu Youzhen for a few words, then walked out of Wenzhao Pavilion with a fine sweat on his head, and then went out of the palace to the household department.
Zhu Youzhen watched Fu Tao leave, sitting there silently for a long time, Fu Tao's trip really gave him a lot of stimulation, and he needed some time to clear his thoughts.
At the same time that Fu Tao entered the Wenzhao Pavilion, King Ping also entered the side hall of Jingyang Palace.
He held the snack in his hand, and said with a smile while tasting it: "This is made by the Queen Mother, right?"
It's the first time I've tasted it. ” Zhu Xu sat on the desk, wrapped in a thick cotton coat, and said with a smile: "Uncle Huang, I came to you this time, but I want you to vent my anger." ” King Ping shook his hand, and then said with a smile: "The emperor makes me happy, who in this world dares to bully the emperor?"

” Zhu Xu said: "I was in Cuifang Building, and I was pushed by several imperial historians. ” The smile on King Ping's face froze, and he looked at Zhu Xu and said, "Your Majesty......
Seriously?
” Zhu Xu turned his head and looked directly at him with a cold gaze.
King Ping's smile was completely gone, and he stood up and said tentatively: "Your Majesty, who are the people and what do you need me to do?"
” Zhu Xu handed a notebook from the desk to King Ping, and said, "Look at this." ” King Ping took it and looked down carefully, and on it was a catalogue that required the Governorate to strictly inspect the capital and earnestly fulfill the regulations of the imperial court.
The first is weathering, officials, and people of fame are not allowed to prostitute themselves and stay in the Qinglou at night.
Article 2: In party struggle, it is forbidden to form gangs and factions, and the party is the same and fights against differences.
Article 3 Government affairs require each yamen to subdivide their duties and clarify their responsibilities.
There are as many as 18 of them.
King Ping looked at it for a while, and still said with some doubts: "Your Majesty, this is ......
A lot of the Overseers can't do that either. ” Zhu Xu thought that it was time to clean up the officials, looked at him and said, "The celebrant supervisor, Wenzhao Pavilion, and the six departments will send personnel to join, whoever dares to stop it, will kill the chickens and monkeys first!"
” King Ping suddenly had confidence, so he raised his hand and said, "The minister obeys the order!"
” King Ping's Governorate has been built for a long time, because the power and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are highly overlapping, and there is actually nothing to do, but this time is different, with a clear will, there is a clear matter, and naturally there is something to exert force.
The officials of the Criminal Department rushed into Liu's Mansion as soon as possible.
Liu Mao's house.
Liu Mao, Mao Yujian and others were elated and were planning how to cut the post station.
Since the cost is very large, the more it will naturally be involved, and it is not easy to cut it, and there will inevitably be some opposition.
What they have to do is to concentrate on the people who support them, push it strongly, and make it an ironclad case, so that they can consolidate their power and win good official reputations.
Mao Yujian's heart was extremely happy, as if he had avenged the hatred of taking his wife, and he desperately made suggestions.
Several other people are also quite excited, as long as they do it well, it will be a great achievement and become a stepping stone for their promotion!
Liu Mao was happy in his heart, but his face was indifferent, he looked like he had become a powerful official, and his every move was full of authority.
"Rush in!"
Wailang, a member of the Criminal Department, Liao Huayong led people to stand at the door of Liu Mao and waved his hand.
The officials of the Criminal Department slammed open the gate like a hungry tiger and rushed into Liu's mansion.
"What are you going to do, my lord is the ...... of the imperial history" "The Criminal Department handles the case, and no one else dodges away!"
Liao Huayong strode inside, fierce and resolute.
Now the Sixth Ministry is getting stronger and stronger, and the influence of the Criminal Department is also increasing day by day, and the official authority of these officials is also soaring.
Liu Mao and the others were startled and walked out of it one after another.
Liu Mao knew Liao Huayong, and when he saw that he had brought so many people, he immediately said with a cold face: "What does Lord Liao mean by this?"
My Liu Mansion is not something that your criminal department can break into!
” Liao Huayong sneered, looked at Liu Mao, and saw Mao Yujian in the crowd, and said in a deep voice: "Liu Mao, Mao Yujian, you violated the laws of the imperial court, prostitutes, and stayed in the Qinglou overnight. ” Prostitutes?
Overnight stay in a green house?
Not to mention the capital, which official of the Ming Dynasty did not have it?
And who is really being held accountable?
What's more, Liu Mao and others are still in charge of these Imperial History!
Liu Mao sighed in his heart, knowing that it must be because of something else, he stared at Liao Huayong and said: "Lord Liao, if you have something to say, this official has just seen the prince come back in Wenzhao Pavilion!"
” Liao Huayong didn't care, waved his hand, and said, "Come and take them all away!"
” The servants rushed forward and stepped forward with all the chains in place.
Liu Mao shouted: "Liao Huayong, this official is not easy to bully!"
If you frame us on such a trumped-up charge, there will be countless copies of your impeachment tomorrow!
” Mao Yujian was also not stage frightened, and struggled to shout: "How can we and other righteous people be afraid of prison, the criminal department, give me a reputation for nothing, and the official will laugh at it!"
” The others also shouted incessantly, as if they were afraid that others would not hear.
According to their usual thinking, the righteous person entering the prison of the criminal department is the same as being scepter, not a sin but a great glory, and it will become a major 'merit' for promotion in the future!
In addition to these two people, Cao Jin did not escape, in one day, more than 20 large and small officials were invited to the Governor's Yuan to 'drink tea', the dismissal of dismissal, the demotion of demotion and all kinds of punishments came to the most severe, for a time, alarmed the entire capital.
Early the next morning, Zhu Xu came to the Governor's Court, accompanied by King Xin, King Ping, Yang Lian, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, Yang Lian and others, and the atmosphere was very tense, because the emperor sitting on the throne had a calm face and a murderous aura. —— Ask for a ticket~
