Chapter five hundred and thirty sixth: those who do great things
Fulai Inn.
It is next to Dong'an Gate and is the only way to get to the Meridian Gate.
There are many such inns in this street, and the faces of the inns are somewhat dignified. The people who come in and out of these inns are many foreign officials who go to Beijing. After all, not all officials have the court responsible for entertaining them. Those with low status
When high-ranking officials come to Beijing to report on their work or submit local fiscal revenue and expenditure accounts and the total amount of money and grain, they naturally don't expect any entertainment and can only find a place to stay by themselves.
And here, it happens to be not far from the major ministries in the capital. Officials from outside the capital come here to deal with the ministries, so it is more convenient to stay here.
In addition, the chief secretaries or governor's yamen of various provinces have rented wing rooms here for a long time, let people stay here, and report news from various ministries and departments back to the local area at any time. Some local officials even deal with people in the capital.
Proceed here.
To put it bluntly, this is a hometown association in Beijing. All the people living here may not be prominent in the capital, but locally, they are the most trusted people by the governor, chief secretary, prefect and other officials. These people represent their own
Master, he is either working in camp, or conveying news, inviting people to drink every day, and playing songs with others every night, all he does is focus on popularity.
After all, it is impossible for foreign officials to stay away from the court and keep a blind eye on the affairs of the court. It is also impossible to have no one in the court, and these people are their eyes, their ears, and their mouths.
These people can build relationships and get the latest trends in the imperial court. In addition, they can also pass on copies of newspapers from the residence, or they can be the disciples settled in the capital.
The reason for this phenomenon is that the central dynasty has only one voice. This dynasty has only one voice, and this voice is the court. All government orders from the court come from here. All provinces and state governments in the world must surround the court.
Those who obey will prosper and those who go against will perish. If anyone does not know what is good and what is good, he will be disgraced.
No one's Wusha is picked up in vain. Naturally, one needs to pay attention to the trends of the court at all times.
This Fulai Inn is mostly visited by people from Zhongshu Province in Zhejiang Province. In fact, every inn is a small circle, and fellow villagers naturally like to get together so that they can be taken care of.
However, the people who live here are also divided into high and low. Those with high status naturally live in the upper room on the top floor, while others can only stay on the second floor.
On the top floor, a paper window facing the street opened, and a handsome young man popped up. Although the weather was getting warmer at this time, it was still early for the beginning of summer, so the young man was wearing a brocade robe.
, with a delicate belt tied around his waist, and a huge piece of hollow beast jade hanging on it. He held a fan in his hand. He claimed to be romantic but did not waver. He must have known that it was not practical to shake the fan in such weather.
It's a bit out of place.
The young man had a smile on his face, which turned out to be very good-looking. He held his hands on the window sill and looked at the sedans below him with bright eyes as they passed by, heading towards the Meridian Gate.
Today is the Queen's birthday, so there are a lot of official sedans going to the Meridian Gate today. The young man looked at the endless flow of official sedans below and couldn't help but have a sneer on his face.
This is a contemptuous smile.
Behind the young man was a man who looked like a businessman. He was sitting at the table, drinking tea slowly. His eyes would glance at the young man's back from time to time, and he suddenly said: "What are you looking at, young master?"
"Um?"
The young man hummed with a rhetorical question, as if he was asking the merchant why he asked the question.
But the next moment, he suddenly smiled. His smile was very bright, just like today's sunny day. He couldn't help but shake the fan in his hand, and then said: "I'm not watching, I'm thinking."
"Think?" The merchant was stunned for a moment.
The young man showed a seriousness that was inconsistent with his age, and said seriously: "Yes, I am thinking that the emperor's feet are really lively and beautiful, and the country is beautiful."
The merchant did not speak. When the young man spoke, he had a strong Jiangsu and Zhejiang accent.
The young man smiled coldly and continued: "It's just a pity that if these beautiful mountains and rivers are not in our hands, then what's the point? Rather than this, it would be better to be in ruins."
The hand he spoke with hit the window sill hard with his fan, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
"This young master came to Beijing this time for this matter. The pressure on Prince Ming has been increasing. Officials from various places have begun to conduct investigations. It is becoming more and more difficult for brothers in the religion to walk. If this continues, sooner or later,
The tree must fall and the macaques must scatter. Originally, King Ming meant that the time has not come yet, so we should not act rashly, but now it seems that if we really wait for this opportunity, I am afraid that sooner or later everyone will die without a burial place."
The merchant fell into silence, but he still agreed with the young man's words. He had felt the same way about many things. Since the imperial court began to pay attention to Mingjiao, it has begun to take action. Governments everywhere are paying close attention to this matter.
A strict investigation began, and many suspicious people were arrested. Although many people were arrested by mistake, many brothers in the church were also exposed.
Continuing like this is really not an option.
The merchant said bitterly: "The only thing to blame is Lou Feng. If he hadn't failed, how could he have attracted so much attention from the court? It would be fine if he failed, and he would be dead if he died, but he has caused so many harms."
Brothers suffered. When he was planning in the capital, even King Ming didn't know about it and made the decision without permission. Now, the brothers have to bear the consequences of his actions."
The young man listened quietly to the merchant's complaint, but then he smiled coldly and said: "You can't blame him. If I were in his position, I'm afraid he would do the same thing. The only fault is that Liu Chengfeng, who has repeatedly
You've ruined the big thing I've been waiting for three times."
The merchant's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he said: "In that case, why didn't King Ming order Liu Chengfeng to be killed? It may not be easy to kill the dog emperor, but if you want to move a commander to make things happen, as long as King Ming is willing to sacrifice, he can always get things done.
It’s done.”
The young man seemed very silent, but there was a trace of jealousy in his heart. He stroked the window sill and stared at the street below. After a long time, he said: "Prince Ming is quite fond of this boy. He stopped him several times.
Our assassination plan, this Liu Chengfeng seems to have something to do with Prince Ming. But what the relationship is, I can't tell."
He heaved a sigh of relief, put his hands on the window sill, put his hands behind his back, showed a bit of mature dignity, and said word by word: "What Prince Ming thinks is not something you and I can guess. I think His Highness must have already thought about it."
I have a plan, so I won’t bother you. This time I came here from Jiangsu and Zhejiang specifically on His Highness’s order to clean up the situation in the capital. This time, the teaching suffered a heavy blow, and we can’t make any more mistakes.”
The merchant said seriously: "I wonder what warrant the young master has brought to His Highness?"
The young man sighed and said: "There is only one warrant - act according to the situation. But in my opinion, the queen's birthday today is a perfect opportunity. If there is a little trouble in the palace, it will be fun.
.”
The merchant said in surprise: "Sir, why didn't the villain know about it beforehand? Could it be that the master has already arranged everything?"
The young man burst out laughing. His laughter was hearty and contagious. He pursed his thin lips and said lightly: "Of course it has been arranged. Let's take a look first. How good is Liu Chengfeng?"
Let’s divide our abilities.”
At this time, the merchants had to take a serious look at this young master. This young master was really a bit inconspicuous. He had only been in the capital for a few days, but he had already laid out the plan without showing any signs of it. -< >-
Fastest update.< >-Updated as soon as possible "Young master, at this time, we can't make any mistakes. Otherwise... Moreover, the master has just arrived in Beijing and is not familiar with the situation here, so you should not act rashly."
This merchant seemed a little worried. In fact, the Mingjiao was already in a very dangerous situation. If this young man was allowed to act recklessly, I'm afraid...
The young man just smiled and said nothing. (To be continued)
