The door of the secret warehouse reopened half an hour later, and Ximen Qing, Wu Song and the magician Jiang Jing walked out of it; none of the black-clothed policemen at the door knew what Ximen Qing said in the secret warehouse, but from Wu Song and
Jiang Jing's solemn expression showed that Master Ximen must have said something extremely important, and it was not just about going to the warehouse to see those Jing Yangchun.
"Go back, there will be a good show tomorrow." Ximen Qing made a major decision, but looked relaxed: "I will personally tell Mr. Ma."
Wu Song nodded: "Brother, are you talking about inviting the Japanese envoy to your house tomorrow?"
"That's right." Ximen Qing said with a smile: "This man's real name is Fujiyoshiro. He is not an envoy from Japan at all. The name Fujiwara Yoshitaro was just given to him by someone."[
Jiang Jing, who was next to him, couldn't help but reply: "Since this person is a fake, why don't you expose it in public?"
"If it is exposed in public, although Eunuch Liang will lose face, the official family will also lose face."
A policeman in black had already brought the horse. Ximen Qing quickly picked up the stirrup and mounted the horse, and replied with a smile: "Besides, I have some plans for this matter, and Tokichiro is interested. There are envoys coming and going from Japan, but it's not really a big deal."
bad thing."
Wu Song nodded silently, and he and Jiang Jing also got on their horses and headed towards Bianliang City.
Liang Mansion.
Liang Shicheng was scolding Wang Fu who was standing next to him with a gloomy face, scolding Wang Zuocheng as if he were his own son.
"Where did you get the fake goods and dare to pretend to be an envoy from Japan?"
"Why, did the officials realize it was a fake?"
Wang Fu was shocked. This remark had confirmed Liang Shicheng's suspicion, and he couldn't help but let out a heavy "hum" from his nose.
"If you were exposed in person, do you think I would still be so polite to you? Ximen Qing was originally suspicious, but fortunately the questions he asked were just trivial, and the officials didn't see any problems!
"
Wang Fu gritted his teeth and said: "Ximen Qing! This guy has some kind of divine favor, but he dares to deliberately create difficulties in front of the officials!"
"Forget it." Liang Shicheng vented his anger and looked better: "But after today's conversation in front of the emperor, I think Ximen Qing's level is not much. It seems that I overestimated him before. Maybe he is doing business.
You are of some standard, why do you want to be an official? Hey, how many people have you offended in the past few months?"
Wang Fu frowned and said: "This person cannot be judged by common sense. Former Mr. Fan Enfu said that Cai Ju'an was secretly dealing with this person and squeezing out his Jing Yangchun business. But now Baihua Brewing has quietly delisted, while Jing Yangchun is
It’s getting more and more popular.”
"It's not so much that Ximen Qing's guy is great, it's better to say that the Imperial City Secretary is more powerful." Liang Shicheng disagreed with Wang Fu's point of view: "If he didn't have the Imperial City Secretary and King Jia behind him, how could he have brought Cai Ju'an to a halt? The backstage of Chuixuelou
It was originally the Imperial City Division, but as long as the Imperial City Division is without King Jia, what kind of trouble do you think they can make?"
"So Mr. Enfu wants to go down to get close to King Jia. It turns out that this is the reason!" Wang Fu suddenly realized: "King Jia has always wanted to compete for the throne, and he is favored by the officials."
"The elders and the younger are in order." Liang Shicheng interrupted Wang Fu and said: "Even the officials dare not act recklessly on this matter. Asking King Jia to promote the Imperial City Division is not an attempt. Now the Imperial City Division is gaining momentum.
You cannot suppress him forcefully. As long as you find a way to get rid of the actual position of King Jia, the Imperial City Secretary will be like a cramped tiger and can only be a dog."
"Mr. Enfu has a wonderful plan! What you see is very clear!" Wang Fu immediately flattered him, and all kinds of complimentary words were like the endless flow of the surging river, and like the overflowing of the Yellow River, which was out of control.[
Liang Shicheng closed his eyes and enjoyed it for a while, nodding frequently with a smile; then he opened his eyes again and asked: "Jiang Ming, tell me the truth, how many benefits did the two businessmen promise you? Just give me some
As much as 30%?”
When Liang Shicheng asked, Wang Fu called Qu Lai: "Mr. Enfu clearly knows that Xiaguan's income is only 1,000 yuan. To help lead the way, the 30% is what the two businessmen are willing to give to Mr. Enfu, and Xiaguan
It doesn’t matter at all.”
Liang Shicheng stared at Wang Fu's face closely, and then said after a while: "If this is really the case, then I can get half of your income."
After speaking, he took out a list from his sleeve and threw it to Wang Fu: "This is the list of rewards that I have prepared. Even if the Japanese gift list is forged, it does not affect the official's willingness to use several times the goods as rewards. This way,
He has the style of a superior country.”
Wang Fu took it and saw that most of them were brocade, damask, incense, tea bowls, stationery and other items needed by the Japanese nobles. Wang Fu estimated the value at about one hundred thousand guan, which was still the price in the Song Dynasty. If
If we take action in Japan, we will probably get several times more!
After Wang Fu read it, his heart was beating wildly. Liang Shicheng had so many goods with one stroke of his pen. If he was really given half of it, wouldn't he account for nearly 50%?
No wonder those two businessmen used three thousand strings as a stepping stone!
But it was impossible for Wang Fu to trust Sun Junming and Zheng Qing to take the goods to Japan and then return the money to him; but for this money, he had to send a few confidants to sell the goods in Mingzhou!
Wang Fu put together the gift list: "I am just a guide and a bridge. Mr. Enfu is too polite!"
"Jiang Ming! Why are you so polite to me?" Liang Shicheng laughed and said: "I have long said that money is an external thing. What do I want him to do? I only hope that I can take care of you while I am still with the official.
Support him to become prime minister!"
Wang Fu hurriedly turned over and knelt down: "Thank you so much, Mr. Enfu!"
Liang Shicheng put his hand on Wang Fu's shoulder: "Do good work and leave your future to me! Although Ximen Qing is a small role, he is the vanguard in doing things for King Jia! I have a plan to take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of this person.
!”
When Wang Fu heard Liang Shicheng's plan, he was filled with joy: "This is easy to do! I will wait until the official sends his confidants to Mingzhou to supervise the two businessmen to complete this matter!"
"Father, my son has thought clearly and is willing to serve as the envoy of Shenxiao Yuqing Wanshou Palace."
King Zhao Kai's words surprised Daojun Emperor Zhao Ji. With a flick of his pen, he painted over the "Picture of One Hundred Birds" that was about to be drawn.
This picture of hundreds of birds took Taojun Emperor Zhao Ji several days of hard work, and now it has become a useless picture. However, Zhao Ji did not get angry. Instead, he simply threw the langhao pen aside: "Kaier, are you serious about this?"
"Have I ever made a joke in front of my father?" Zhao Kai said respectfully, "My subordinate Ximen Gouguan often talks to me. Only then did my son know the weight of this matter in my father's heart."
"Good! Good! Good!" Daojun Emperor Zhao Ji said "good" three times in succession, and praised: "Ximen Chuixue is loyal and has a subtle influence! I am very pleased!"
Naturally, Zhao Ji would not say that he secretly asked Ximen Qing to persuade Zhao Kai to change his faith. Now that he got this news from Zhao Kai, it was obvious that Ximen Qing's efforts behind the scenes were implemented.
How could he know that Ximen Qing had never made the slightest effort in this regard. It was Ximen Qing who persuaded Zhao Kai to accept the position of envoy of Shenxiao Yuqing Wanshou Palace. Of course, the purpose was not what Zhao Ji had in mind.[
Zhao Kai cupped his hands and said: "Since I was promoted to Imperial City Secretary, the Ximen Gou Dang officer has contributed the most; not to mention the fact that Tian Hu was exterminated a few days ago, his contribution is not small!"
"I understand what you mean." Daojun Emperor Zhao Ji smiled brightly: "Ximen Chuixue has made a lot of contributions, but his position in the Imperial City Department is limited. He has been promoted and may have to be rewarded more. He is now a guerrilla general with the third level, and has been promoted to Xuanwei.
The general is fine."
There was Huangmenguan nearby and he hurriedly wrote it down.
Zhao Kai was not satisfied yet and said again: "Father, there is still a position for the Imperial City Envoy."
"Who is the current envoy of the Imperial City?" Zhao Ji asked the Huangmen official.
The imperial city envoy and the real power are just a false position, Zhao Ji doesn't care at all.
The Huangmen official replied: "Your Majesty, this is Taoist Zhang Ruhui."
"Zhang Ruhui?" Zhao Ji frowned and thought for a while, obviously unfamiliar with this name.
"This person is the first disciple of Mr. Tongzhen Daling." Zhao Kai didn't hide it: "We already have a lot of rewards on weekdays, why not give this position to Ximen Gangguan, and make it more worthy of the name."
Daojun Emperor Zhao Ji thought for a while and agreed: "Just do as you say."
Zhao Kai bowed and thanked him again, and the Huangmen official drafted a reward edict and showed it to the officials.
Zhao Ji glanced at it casually, nodded in agreement, took the pen and signed a monogram on it, and Huang Menguan took it off and printed it.
Zhao Kai was about to say goodbye and leave. Emperor Daojun Zhao Ji remembered something and said, "Kai'er, wait a minute, there is a grand opening ceremony for Shenxiao Yuqing Wanshou Palace on October 25th. You, the envoy of Shenxiao Yuqing Wanshou Palace, don't leave."
forgotten."
"My son, I will definitely arrive on time."
Zhao Kai secretly sneered twice and promised: "I will bring the envoy from Ximen Imperial City to watch the ceremony together!"
"My son is very considerate, so very good!"
Daojun Emperor Zhao Ji was overjoyed, but he didn't know that his son was thinking about something else.
Zhao Kai knew exactly what was going to be done at the so-called palace opening ceremony. It was not some pretentious ceremony. Mr. Tongzhen Daling Lin Lingsu would definitely take this opportunity to perform some "magical" tricks to make Zhao Ji happy.
The purpose of Zhao Kai taking Ximen Qing was to take this opportunity to embarrass Lin Lingsu and even reveal something.
When Ximen Qing was wiping out Tian Hu, he had a great battle with Qiao Daoqing, the opponent's national master, and even convinced Qiao Daoqing to surrender. Zhao Kai also heard the story; he had great confidence in Ximen Qing and believed in Ximen Qing's Taoism.
The method is much better than this "Mr. Tongzhen Daling".
"The best way to drive Lin Lingsu out of Bianliang is to point out in front of my father that this person is just a deceiver! Using Taoist tools to defeat Taoism, even my father will have nothing to say."
Zhao Kai thought about it in his mind and retreated.
However, Daojun Emperor Zhao Ji asked Huangmenguan to take down the obsolete picture of hundreds of birds and wrote lightly: "Throw it away."
