"Siniang, I'm afraid we have to speed up our journey!"
Putting the letter away, Wu Yanran smiled slightly: "My uncle is staying in Tianjin at the moment. If we hurry up, we might be able to go with him!"
"Eunuch Wang?" Mu Siniang was silent for a moment and then asked.
Wu Yanran nodded with a smile: "And my incompetent brother is also in Tianjin at the moment. According to the letter, they are also going to Dongfan on this trip. It's a coincidence. If the messenger hadn't been sharp-eyed, we might not have been able to do it.
A few of them just missed each other, and they could obviously go together, but they set off one after the other!"
"How long will they stay?" Mu Siniang turned around and asked Sun Jie, who was delivering the letter.
"We'll set off tomorrow morning after supplies are complete!" Sun Jie didn't dare to neglect and replied hurriedly.
"Is it an official ship or our own ship?" Mu Siniang continued to ask.
If it's an official ship, it doesn't matter if we go together or not. Mu Siniang knows this very well. However, if it's a ship of the Sihai Fleet, it's true as Wu Yanran said, it's necessary to go together. She and Wu Yanran
There are nearly a hundred people in this group, but not all ships can fit it. Even if they go to Tianjin, they have to use a large ship in their own fleet to go to sea. One is spacious enough, and secondly, the safety is guaranteed. At present, the fleet's
It is not clear what the situation is. Mu Siniang has been away from the fleet for so long, but she must know that in Tianjin, the transportation capacity of the Sihai fleet is definitely not sufficient. During the same period, the transportation capacity of the two fleets was allocated
A big ship, I'm afraid it's a little impossible.
"It's our own ship!" Sun Jie smiled slightly: "How can an official ship compare to our own ship!"
"Here's the order, everyone hurry up and hurry up. Two people will go and follow him to Tianjin on horseback. Please ask Wang Gonggong and Wu Qianhu to slow down for now. Mrs. Qian and us will be there soon!"
…
"When I came to Tianjin last time, Tianjin looked so dilapidated!" Wang Yue clasped his hands behind his back and walked slowly on the narrow streets of Tianjin. Wu Huchen followed behind him, looking like he belonged to a wealthy family.
It is the virtue of a gentleman to go shopping with a dog-legger.
"Uncle, the last time we went to Nanjing, we didn't go to Tianjin, right?" Wu Huchen chuckled: "We took the land route. On the way to Tianjin, Liu Jin, an old dog, sent many people to intercept and kill uncle.
Where is my father!"
"My uncle has lived for decades. Is it only the last time he had a chance to come to Tianjin? Why don't you feel unhappy that your uncle has been here before?" Wang Yue turned his head and smiled at Wu Huchen. It is strange to say that there is an official position of guarding eunuchs.
Even if Wang Yue is usually approachable in front of Wu Huchen, Wu Huchen always feels that there is an indescribable majesty in Wang Yue. However, now that he has resigned, this indescribable pressure seems to have disappeared with the official position.
Wang Yue was also a little more angry, as if now, he was simply a kind-hearted old man with a fat body, a kind face and a kind-hearted mind. If you say that he is Wu Huchen's biological grandfather, some people will definitely believe him.
"I've only been here once, when I went home last time!" Wu Huchen chuckled: "It used to be dilapidated, but now I don't think it's very prosperous. It's far worse than Nanjing!"
"Not bad!" Wang Yue shook his head: "There were not many shops in the city before, and when you come here from the dock, there are even fewer people. Even the port is a lot bigger! In two years, there were such big shops
The change is really quite good!”
"My brother-in-law built a city in two years. I heard people from the fleet say that everyone boasted about Tamsui. Talking about changes, Tamsui came from nothing. It is better than Tianjin!"
"That's Wu Yi's ability!" When he mentioned this, Wang Yue laughed: "Who knew that a barbaric land that even the imperial court didn't want would become like this in Wu Yi's hands!"
"Let's see more!" Wang Yue said with some emotion, "I'm over 60 years old. If nothing unexpected happens, this Tamsui will be the place where I will grow old. After all, there are not many places worthy of nostalgia in this Central Plains!"
"Uncle is always strong, why are you saying these depressing words? Grisha once said that the overseas lands are not what we Ming people think. There are countless lands and countries thousands of miles away. In the future, my brother-in-law's fleet will also be
If you want to go to these places to earn money from the barbarians, don't you want to see the outside world?" Wu Huchen said nervously.
"Uncle is old!" Wang Yue patted his shoulder gently: "Whether it is opening up new territories or conquering the world, it is all a matter for you young people. My uncle just wants to use his remaining energy to give others a chance.
You brothers take good care of your family, which means you are worthy of the heaven. After working hard all your life, when you get old, do you brothers still treat your uncle like a cow and horse?"
"Hehehe!" Wu Huchen smiled, but said nothing.
"Is it in front?" Wang Yue stopped and pointed to a place in front and asked.
Wu Huchen tilted his head, and someone immediately came over to him: "Sir, just in front, my subordinates have informed the 100 households in the Tianjin 100 Household Office, and at this moment, the 100 households are waiting for you!"
"This is it!" Wu Huchen replied to Wang Yue.
"Then let's go and take a look. See what's new in Beijing these days!" Wang Yue nodded and walked towards the house in front.
…
"I've met Mr. Wu, I've met Mr. Wang!"
Seeing the two figures, an old man and a young man, appear at the gate, Pi Dan immediately went to greet them.
"You're welcome!" Wu Huchen waved his hand. The Tianjin Hundred Household Office was not under his jurisdiction. He couldn't take people's politeness seriously. "I'm just passing through Tianjin and taking a walk with my elders. I wouldn't be right."
Pi Baihu caused some trouble!"
"Where, where!" Pi Dan laughed: "Both of you are distinguished guests that you can't even invite, so what's the trouble!"
"Is there any newspaper in Beijing?" Wang Yue looked at it casually and sat down following Pi Dan's greeting.
The boss nodded and sent someone to get it. All larger yamen have this newspaper. However, Jinyiwei's yamen must care more about this than ordinary officials, and there are more and faster ways.
, if you want to read the latest Di newspaper, Jinyiwei's Yamen is naturally the best choice.
"Dibao" is also called "Dichao" (also called "Dichao"), and is also known as "Chaobao", "Tiaobao" and "Miscellaneous newspaper". All four use the word "bao", which shows that it is used for notifications.
This kind of bulletin news is a news copy specially used by the court to convey documents and political information to inform the court. Naturally, such things are indispensable for the latest and greatest things that happened in the court, such as the great court meeting three days ago, which the emperor personally presided over.
Such things.
As soon as Wang Yue saw the news, he frowned. The emperor showed up in person, which was a bit beyond his expectation. Could it be that the news he got in Beijing was not accurate? Or was it that he set off from Nanjing?
During his stay in Tianjin, something unexpected happened that he didn't know about.
"What's the news from Jinyiwei?" Wang Yue put down the newspaper in his hand and looked at Wu Huchen and asked. He was not from Jinyiwei, so naturally he couldn't ask the bill in person.
However, he deliberately avoided suspicion, but Pi Dan knew who the two people in front of him were, and there was no intention of concealing anything. He immediately replied: "Of course the Di newspaper will not talk about our Zhenfu Division, but there are reports in Beijing.
The news comes, our North and South Town Fusi have taken a lot of people this time, and the South Town Fusi side is said to be overcrowded!"
"Take people to make the situation overcrowded?" Wang Yue shook his head: "Mu Tianqiu doesn't have the courage. He is too small a person and has a softer temperament. He doesn't have the responsibility!"
This is extremely rude. You must know that the two people in front of you, including Wu Huchen, are members of the Jinyiwei. It is quite disrespectful for him to criticize other people's commanders in such a rude manner.
However, whether it was Wu Huchen or Pi Dan, their reactions were the same, as if Wang Yue was talking about someone else, and neither of them had any reaction.
"Is this what the palace means!?" Wang Yue pondered for a moment and asked.
Pi Dan smiled bitterly, "I really don't know about this. I'm just a hundred households. It's good enough to know what's going on in our yamen. I can't know about things in the palace, either.
I don’t dare to know!”
"It should be like this!" Wang Yue seemed to have not heard what he said. He nodded slightly and said to himself: "Without the palace's will, how could the Jinyiwei dare to make such a big move? It seems that this matter is caused by the palace.
I have the upper hand..."
Closing his eyes, Wang Yue sorted it out in his mind, and became more and more certain that King Xingxian should have been suppressed by the palace. If he said that today, the city has the ability, Wang Yue still doesn't believe it, even if it is really the emperor who did it.
Yes, I am afraid that the whole world will know about it now, but at this time, the Jin Yiwei Gaoti rode around and suppressed a secret turmoil without making a sound, so it could not be the emperor's method.
Zhang Yong can’t do it either? Several people flashed through Wang Yue’s mind. Zhang Yong seems to be a meticulous person, but in fact he is very rough-tempered. This is not Wang Yue’s bragging. If he was still in the palace and wanted to fight for power and gain, Zhang Yong would
People are no match for him at all.
Yang Tinghe? He still shook his head in his heart. Yang Tinghe had his scheming methods, but when did this person become so compatible with the palace? The palace wanted to win him over and guard against him. In this matter, he would not interfere.
, it is already a great blessing. It is unlikely that he and the palace will join forces to defeat King Fang Xingxian. For him, there should be no difference no matter who is the emperor. Perhaps, in his heart
, changing to an emperor who works hard to govern would be better than the current emperor who is a bit messy!
Neither the inner court nor the outer court can be trusted, so only the palace can be trusted.
Queen? If the emperor is seriously ill, she will be the lord of the Sixth Palace. However, this stupid woman who only knows how to put on airs has such ability? She should stay in the palace for thirty or twenty years before considering this issue!
Thirty or twenty years, wait, Queen Mother? Suddenly Wang Yue's mind flashed, and a shrewd and gentle woman appeared in his mind. When he served Emperor Xiaozong, he knew that the current Queen Mother and the original Queen Zhang,
But who can handle state affairs for Emperor Xiaozong, if anyone can do such a big thing calmly, she is probably the only person in the palace.
