Chapter 75 The Situation of Hu Butang

Update time:2012-11-16

Zhang Ning appointed Lao Xu as the leader of the Yangzhou Special Branch, and changed his name to Xu Guangzhao. Because Yangzhou messenger Zhan Zhuli left his post (a confidant of Wu Yong, who was transferred with Wu Yong), he ordered "Xu Guangzhao" "I temporarily served as a courier and sent him to the capital to deliver official documents in order to understand the situation of Hu Butang. If Hu Butang collapsed, the interviewing agencies in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Huguang, Guangdong and Guangxi would have to be abolished sooner or later... Moreover, for Hu Butang Zhang Ning, the immediate superior of Bu Tang and the founder of this great undertaking, was really concerned about his current situation.

After some time, Xu Guanghao came back from the capital and inquired about some of Hu Butang's situation.

At the beginning, when Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne, Hu Ying issued a memorial and proposed ten things. The most important one was to suggest that the emperor move the capital back to Nanjing. "It is inconvenient to build the capital in Beijing. Please return the southern capital to save the trouble of transferring hundreds of millions of dollars from north to south."

The reasons are high-sounding, but Zhang Ning will not be fooled by such superficial articles. Hu Ying's real intention is to cater to the wishes of the new emperor Hong Xi; Emperor Hong Xi spent most of his time as crown prince in Nanjing supervising the country. , was very affectionate towards Nanjing, and Beijing was very strange to him, and it was not an exaggeration to even dislike him. It was human nature to have a rebellious psychology caused by the late Emperor Yongle's high pressure and constant attacks on him, and Emperor Yongle often Beijing issues orders, and now that Emperor Hong Xi has ascended the throne, it is extremely possible for him to leave Beijing, a place he hates. Hu Ying seized on this.

Sure enough, Emperor Hongxi was very happy at that time, and immediately called him to serve as Minister of Rites in Xingzai. The so-called "Xingzai" means accompanying the emperor, not necessarily staying in the capital.

Unexpectedly, the good times did not last long, and Hu Ying was immediately ostracized by some people in the former East Palace. Someone told the emperor that Hu Butang had secretly played in front of the late emperor and said bad things about the emperor. Hong Xi was not very happy... so Before Hu Ying could take up her position as Minister of Rites, she was transferred to serve as a guest of the Crown Prince and also served as a wine-offer for the Crown Prince of Nanjing. She was still in the capital for the time being because the Crown Prince Zhu Zhanji was also in the capital.

Hu Ying has now become a bureaucrat in the Eastern Palace. Although he has not been able to enter the current decision-making circle, he is actually treated kindly. This is also due to the fact that he did not offend anyone during the Yongle Dynasty, so no one wanted to punish him. Everyone knows that the bureaucrats of the Eastern Palace are close to the prince. At least they still have a future, but they are just temporarily relegated to the second line.

As for the situation of the entire set of institutions created by Hu Ying, there was no accurate information for the time being. However, there will soon be some clues.

Soon after, Emperor Hongxi issued an imperial edict and announced it to the whole world through the official newspaper:

In order to support the emperor, the imperial edict states that the families of Jianwen ministers who are slaves in the Jiaofangsi, Jinyiwei, Huanyi Bureau and the homes of the outstanding craftsmen should be forgiven for serving the people and their land should be returned to them. The same should be said for those who are banished to the garrison for their words and deeds.

Then there was news that he once said in front of many people in the temple: All the ministers in Jianwen have been killed, but they are all loyal ministers!

Emperor Hongxi's approach was very obvious. He felt that Jianwen's ministers were wronged and wanted to redress their injustice! He also publicly said that Jianwen was a legitimate government and wanted to correct the mistake of Yongle Dynasty in canceling the Jianwen reign...

Zhang Ning read Di Bao at the Nanjing Rites Yamen and felt puzzled at that time.

He had no position at all towards the Jianwen Dynasty and his ministers. He neither thought Duo Guangwei was upright nor bad. He was just a successful king and a defeated bandit. He just didn't understand the position and logic of Emperor Hongxi. This guy was the emperor. Is the logic confusing? The reason why Emperor Hongxi himself was a legitimate emperor was because he was the successor of Emperor Yongle, and Emperor Yongle claimed to be a legitimate and legitimate emperor. If Jianwen was also legitimate, then the Yongle Dynasty was a usurpation and an illegal regime. Emperor Hongxi If he inherits an illegal regime, of course he himself is not justified.

And how to publicly say that you are not justified in front of the emperor?

But thinking about the problem in another role, we can see how resentful Emperor Hong Xi was towards his father! Zhang Ning saw a handful of bitter tears between the lines of the imperial edict. However, Yongle did press too hard on Emperor Hong Xi during his lifetime. The son of a powerful lord,

It's not that easy.

It's better now. The new emperor himself said that Fang Xiaoru was a loyal minister, so those people were naturally not rebels. As for Hu Butang's stuff, it was now meaningless. The interview made this organization destined to be abolished sooner or later.

Everyone is always messing around. Zhang Ning sighed and went home leisurely.

He originally lived in "Wuyuan" for the convenience of meeting guests and keeping in touch with the interviewers. He rarely went home so as not to involve his family in those messy things. But the recent situation made him feel that it didn't matter anymore. The interview made the agency

We have almost reached the end, and now I am basically hanging on to a sinecure waiting for a new official career, which is similar to resigning from office and waiting for a new career.

My uncle and uncle are close relatives, and I have a younger sister. The family always makes people feel at ease. But today, Zhang Xiaomei didn't look right, as if something was wrong. Just as Zhang Ning was looking for a chance to ask her, his uncle Zhang Jiujin and his eldest brother Zhang Shicai came back from outside.

"Erlang." The uncle immediately greeted Zhang Ning into the main room. The hierarchy in this family is like this. No matter how big an official you are, your elders will still call you around. However, my uncle is much more polite now.

"Remember the boss of Hongyun Bank I mentioned to you last time? His surname is Su, and he came to find a matchmaker to propose marriage to their second son." Zhang Jiujin's face was red and he looked quite excited.

Zhang Ning nodded and continued to listen. The second son of another family came to propose marriage. He must be marrying Zhang Xiaomei, otherwise he would have sex... At this time, Zhang Ning had a look on his face. He saw that the little sister looked wrong just now. It turned out that he was thinking about this.

.

Zhang Jiujin said: "The Su family has countless fertile lands in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. They are involved in banks, jewelry shops, carriage shops, and the salt industry. The big boss has two sons. The second son is not married yet. It is said that he has a reputation as a member of the family.

A Confucian businessman from a scholarly family has taken a liking to our little girl, it’s really...hehe." Zhang Jiujin, a family member who usually deliberately wanted to be strict, was already beaming with joy.

"The second young master's brother seems to be friends with Erlang. He is Su Liangchen, a great talent from Jiangsu and Zhejiang." The eldest brother Zhang Shicai interjected.

Zhang Ning suddenly said: "It turns out that Hongyun Bank is owned by his family. Yes, Mr. Su and I have met several times and we can become friends."

The younger sister said angrily at the door: "My brother hasn't even gotten married yet, why are you worried about me?"

Zhang Jiujin immediately became furious, lowered his face and turned around and said: "You have the right to speak? Who will sell you? You are not willing to do so with such a powerful family. What do you want to do? Do you want to enter the palace and become a queen?"

"Don't drag on the matter between Erlang and the daughter of Yang Shiqi's family. Zhang Xiaomei can arrange the engagement first and wait until Erlang gets married." Zhang Shicai said methodically, "If the Su family likes us,

It was probably because of Erlang. I heard that the eldest son Su had a lot of friends, and he probably knew about the relationship between Erlang and the daughter of the Yang family, so he hurriedly came up to propose marriage. I heard that Yang Shiqi is now the most popular person around the emperor... otherwise it was because of this

,Why did the Su family take a fancy to our little girl?"

Zhang Jiujin nodded and said, "What Dalang said makes sense."

"How about the second young master of the Su family, have you met him?" It was Zhang Ning's turn to speak.

Zhang Jiujin and his son both shook their heads, and Zhang Ning said: "Let's find a chance to meet the second young master first. It's good to have a good family, and the younger sister will be able to have enough food and clothing if she gets married, but the most important thing is to see how the second young master is doing.

We have to make life easier for our little sister, what do you say, uncle?"

The uncle's expression was a little reluctant, and he nodded slightly unhappily. After all, Zhang Ning belonged to Zhang Xiaomei's family, and the uncle was just a close relative. The eldest brother was like his father, so Zhang Ning had a say in this kind of marriage.

It is normal to meet in person, and it is somewhat similar to modern blind dates. According to rumors, people get married without even meeting each other. Of course, there are also cases. Most of them are because the parents are too powerful and the children are young and do not have many opinions. The parents have the final say; but

In many cases, men and women still need to get to know each other. Parents' orders are true, but most parents don't want to force their children too much. For example, Zhang Ning's first engagement with the Wang family, he and Miss Wang's family usually have contact.

The uncle was really reluctant and said: "The matchmaker mentioned it. The betrothal gift is the jewelry number from Wuding Bridge, the house deed, and the gold, silver and jewelry in stock are all included. The uncle went to check it out yesterday. The value of the things inside alone is no less than

Fifty thousand taels!”

Fifty thousand taels! It’s roughly equivalent to 30 million. This betrothal gift is really a big deal. The Su family can probably be described as rich as a country. No matter in ancient times or modern times, someone suddenly said that marrying a girl from the family for 30 million is tantamount to getting rich suddenly.

, anyone can be tempted, no wonder uncle Zhang Jiujin is so anxious... Zhang Ning remembered a modern joke: A certain man received a middle-aged man one day, and the man said that he was sorry for making your daughter's belly bigger.

About to go berserk, the man calmly said that if he gave birth to a boy, he would give her three restaurants and 10 million yuan today. If it was a girl... a man said impatiently: Then you can make her belly bigger again!

No matter how anxious his uncle was, Zhang Ning still said calmly: "Look at the person first, and let me find a chance to see if I like him or not."

Zhang Jiujin and his son had no choice but to nod in agreement, only regretting that Zhang Xiaomei was not born in their family.

The younger sister never had the right to speak, but Zhang Ning said what he said in front of his family, giving her the right to choose. If the younger sister was not satisfied, Zhang Ning would not nod even if his family was extremely wealthy.

In fact, even if she was satisfied, Zhang Ning still felt very uncomfortable and had a very special feeling; but he thought it was normal. Just like a father who wants to marry his beloved daughter, he would also be a little sad. There is a saying that the daughter is the last daughter of the father.

My lover... No matter how much I love her, I can't keep her by my side, that would be harming her.

Since you love your little sister, you should try your best to let her live a good life in the future. Zhang Ning said to herself.

But his mood would still become depressed, and he suddenly found that Zhang Xiaomei was getting closer and closer to leaving him, as if he was about to lose something beloved. Inadvertently realizing that the withering of autumn was coming again, he put his hand into his arms

, took out a small red thing.
