Shao Xi didn't know Zhu Hao well and didn't understand why Jiang Lun admired Zhu Hao so much.
But Shao Xi obviously had something difficult, but he was unwilling to tell Zhu Hao. Instead, he wanted to find someone who could take charge of the overall situation to talk to.
Jiang Lun smiled and said: "Mr. Zhu, it's like this. The matter of conferring a title has not been decided yet... The Jiang family and the Shao family are not prestigious families in the capital. Even if they get a title, they will not be respected by others. Even if they get the title, they will not be respected by others.
I’m afraid it’s… beyond my power to make a decent court dress.”
It means lack of money.
Zhu Hao wanted to ask. I can understand Shao Xi's lack of money. After all, the Shao family is not a prestigious family of relatives. They don't have much property in the capital, so it is difficult to maintain the family business.
But you, Jiang Lun, are alone and don’t have many connections in the court that need to be smoothed out. Are you still short of money now? Besides, haven’t I given you a lot in the past?
Zhu Hao said: "Your Majesty is indeed interested. Along with the title, he will also grant some fields, which will be arranged in the suburbs of the capital. The sources are mainly the fields of Huangzhuang, which will be directly placed under the names of the two families..."
"Ah, this... this feeling is good."
Jiang Lun smiled brightly, and then looked at Shao Xi, as if to say, I didn't introduce you wrong, right? Isn't it useful to come to Zhu Hao?
But Shao Xi didn't think it was Zhu Hao's credit.
Zhu Hao's words seemed to be conveying a message for the emperor. This matter was not something Zhu Hao could decide, so why should he still thank the young man in front of him?
Shao Xi asked: "I don't know when I can enter the palace...to meet the Holy Spirit? So I can thank His Majesty for his kindness?"
Shao Xi wanted to use the people in the Xingwangfu system as a springboard so that he could directly meet Zhu Si and build relationships.
Shao Xi seemed to be related by blood to Zhu Si, but in fact he was just the younger brother of Zhu Si's grandma. The relationship was actually quite distant. This is why after Chang Huabo died, Zhu Si did not think of passing on an inheritance to this relative.
The man of incense.
Because Zhu Si really didn't feel how close he was to the Shao family.
Zhu Hao could see Shao Xi's eagerness to marry the emperor, but he also knew that Zhu Si didn't take Shao Xi seriously at all, so he shrugged and said with regret: "Your Majesty is diligent in government affairs and works tirelessly day and night. I'm afraid it won't be long."
It’s hard to see, and besides...at this time, someone in the court may raise objections, so it’s better not to cause trouble.”
"That……"
Shao Xi glanced at Jiang Lun, wondering if Zhu Hao's words were effective.
Jiang Lun said: "If you don't see me, you'll see me. Don't be discouraged, Mr. Shao. As long as you are given a title, people with titles will be able to enter the palace during the court meeting in the future, and they will be able to meet the saint. The most urgent task now is to wait for the title to be granted by the court... Zhu
Sir, if you don’t say anything, Your Majesty will also grant you fields... Haha..."
Jiang Lun seemed to know Shao Xi very well, but they were just acquaintances, and the two did not have a deep friendship at all.
After chatting, Jiang Lun suddenly laughed again: "Mr. Zhu, I have been getting some antiques recently and want to do antique calligraphy and painting business, but I don't know... can you give me some advice in the future? In the capital, you can't rely on just a little land to make a living.
It’s always good to have multiple means of earning a living…”
Zhu Hao just wanted to slap Jiang Lun.
When you didn't have a title, why didn't you think of getting into the antique calligraphy and painting business? Now that you have the title, you started to make some troubles?
Did you see that the Zhang family had a monopoly in the capital and made a lot of money in the past, and you wanted to follow suit?
"Let's talk about this later,"
Zhu Hao frowned slightly, not giving Jiang Lun any face.
…
…
Shao Xi felt very puzzled.
No matter whether Zhu Hao comes from Prince Xing's palace or not, even if he is the number one scholar, he can't receive such courtesy from his prospective relative Jiang Lun? Why is he so disrespectful?
Shao Xi is getting older, but he is still a smart person. He doesn't say anything if he has doubts in his heart.
After sending Shao Xi away, Jiang Lun came back and said, "Is it wrong for me to be in the antique calligraphy and painting business? Mr. Zhu, let me be clear. I think that by doing this business, I can make friends with dignitaries, which will help me get around in the capital in the future."
Make a name for yourself."
The implication is that Jiang Lun wants to start the antique calligraphy and painting business not to make money, but to use this as an opportunity
, break into the powerful elite of the capital.
Zhu Hao really wanted to say that you are not a scholar and do not understand antiques, calligraphy and painting. From the beginning, others regard you as a nouveau riche. No matter what you do, even if you get a title, people still regard you as a bumpkin who rose to power through connections.
There is a huge gap between you and the serious hereditary nobles. Even though you are from a military family, you still have no military merits and no accumulation of family fortune over the past generations.
Zhu Haodao: "Brother Meng Zai, it's not me who's attacking you. You don't understand antiques, calligraphy and painting. If you insist on rushing forward, I'm afraid it will damage your wallet. Even I don't want to get involved in this business. This kind of business will not open for three years."
"Opening a three-year business to make a living is still suitable for people with money and leisure. You are His Majesty's sidekick, so it is better to do some practical work."
"What practice?"
Jiang Lun asked with wide eyes.
They say they don’t care about money, but in reality they only care about money.
Probably because Jiang Lun didn't have much status before, he was afraid of poverty.
He could not afford to raise an adopted son to his name at first, which shows that even if he was Princess Xing's younger brother, he did not gain much power in the past. It would be okay if he was a biological brother, but it is a pity that he is a half-way sibling. He can have a good relationship with Zhu Si, so Zhu Si
Fourth, treating him as a character is pretty good.
"In the future, Your Majesty will have many properties that cannot be shown to the outside world, just like the Imperial Mansion. Then you will be responsible for managing them secretly. What do you think?" Zhu Hao said.
"The relationship is great, but the money earned...whose responsibility does it belong to?"
Jiang Lun asked eagerly.
Jiang Lun was about to gain status and wanted to increase his net worth.
Zhu Hao said: "It's both your Majesty's and your own. Don't care too much. If you do well, Your Majesty will grant you more land, and I will work hard to help you get it. If you are determined to do things for the court, you can always
Can make money... Mr. Tang is not interested in making money or anything like that, so I can only leave this to you."
"I will handle it."
Jiang Lun patted his chest, "I won't touch those antique calligraphy and paintings. I will go back to Shouning Hou and Jianchang Hou and tell them that I don't have the vision to do this business."
Zhu Hao was even more speechless.
It turned out that it was the Zhang brothers who wanted to drag Jiang Lun into trouble.
No wonder Jiang Lun was so interested before, thinking that someone would lead the way, but he didn't know that the Zhang brothers were so stupid... He didn't lose all his money, but he still wanted to trick Jiang Lun?
Probably Jiang Lun took the Zhang brothers too seriously.
…
…
The Yang Tingyi case has come to an end.
When Yang Tingyi entered Fusi Yamen in Beizhen, he encountered no difficulties. He even lived in a public house in the backyard of the Yamen and never set foot in prison.
Only Luo An went as usual and went to ask Yang Tingyi some questions and asked Yang Tingyi to sign the contents of his confession. Yang Tingyi was very unhappy, but after carefully reading the "confession", he found that there was no mention of his crime in it.
, or chose to submit.
There is nothing we can do about it.
Even if Yang Tingyi felt that he had a brother who was the chief minister of the cabinet as a backer, Jinyiwei was really a hell for civil servants. He wanted to leave early, so he had no choice but to cooperate.
He looked calm on the outside, but panicked on the inside.
"Luo Zhenfu, may I ask when can I go back to reunite with my family?" Yang Tingyi asked with a slightly trembling voice when she saw Luo An was about to leave.
Luo An said: "The case will continue to be investigated to see if there is new evidence. It is now being announced to the outside world. If someone comes to report and expose...it also depends on whether the witnesses and physical evidence can stand up! Don't worry, sir, now Jinyiwei
We also pay attention to being reasonable and well-founded when doing things, and we will not falsely accuse people casually, nor will we use torture to obtain confessions. Just wait here with peace of mind."
Yang Tingyi became even more nervous upon hearing this.
He had done a lot of corruption and perverting the law. In the past, he relied on his strong background and did not cover it up at all, leaving a lot of personal and material evidence. Now many people can stand up to testify against him. If he really wants to be charged, I am afraid that he will not have to go out.
"That brother..."
Yang Tingyi didn't get to see the highest ranking officer of Jin Yiwei all the time. It was rare to meet him at this time, so of course he had to mention his powerful backer.
Luo
An shook his head and sighed: "Your Majesty personally inquired about your case, and even mentioned it in court that your Majesty wanted to treat old cases with lenient sentences. Yang Zhongtang also agrees with this. So you don't have to worry too much.
…Just wait for the good news.”
"Okay, thank you very much."
Yang Tingyi was arrogant and courteous to Luo An. When he was first taken into the Fusi Yamen of Jinyiwei North Town, he was polite to everyone and did not give Luo An, the commander of Jinyiwei, a good look.
Now that he was bidding farewell to Luo An, he diligently wanted to see the guest out of the room in person, but was stopped by the royal guards at the door.
After Yang Tingyi sighed, she could only return to the house gloomily.
As a civil servant who has enjoyed a comfortable life for many years, he was placed under house arrest in this room. Although the room was fully furnished, it didn't seem much different from living in a dungeon.
…
…
Luo An handed the confession to Zhu Hao, who came to Fusi Yamen in Beizhen to inquire about the case.
It's now time to turn on the lights.
Zhu Hao took it over and looked at it, and said with a smile: "It's as if I didn't say it."
Luo An asked: "Mr. Zhu, do you want him to reveal some actual evidence of his crime? Judging from his bearish behavior, he seems to know that the current situation is dire. If some unconventional means are used..."
Zhu Hao raised his head and looked at Luo An.
When Luo An first took over Beizhen Fusi, he was really a bit of a scholar with a sword, tending to be weak.
But now Luo An may have adapted to Jin Yiwei's unscrupulous approach to doing things. This skill has been gradually learned in practice. Now facing the younger brother of the current chief assistant, even if he knows that the other party cannot easily use punishment, he can still use coercion and inducement.
.
"No, it doesn't matter what he confesses. The important thing is to let people know that he has begun to succumb in the prison and cooperate with Jin Yiwei's investigation."
Zhu Hao stood up and had no intention of staying in the Fusi Yamen of Beizhen. "In addition, there was a rumor to the outside world that someone secretly reported Yang Tingyi's illegal behavior, but was suppressed by the Jin Yiwei. He then informed the outside world that the Jin Yiwei was conducting a thorough investigation... Dong
Don't show up at the factory again. Let Mr. Yang Ge know about this matter. After three to five days, the matter will be resolved satisfactorily and he will be released."
"yes."
Luo An took the order.
Zhu Hao said with a smile: "I did all this to sell a favor to Mr. Yang Ge, to let him know that the new emperor is sincere to him, and he loves his family so much that he doesn't attack his relatives... He needs to reciprocate the favor."
