Even so, Wang Daochun is still a hidden danger.//Baidu Search See the latest chapter//Therefore, Yuanlao Lu has another task: to remove all people who may be detrimental to Sun Yuanhua and the northward detachment.
In fierce urban defense battles, it is normal for senior officers who are on the front line to die in action. Xu Congzhi was shot and killed in the Laizhou defense battle. Several special reconnaissance team members in the Laizhou detachment were responsible for this.
Snipers on secret missions will carry out necessary "targeted killings" at any time depending on the situation.
The red debris of firecrackers scattered all over the ground, trampled by people and horses, and soon became part of the black mud on the street. Although the years have been bad in recent years, natural disasters, military chaos, banditry, and the invasion of Donglu...
…There is bad news coming from all directions. After all, it is still the New Year, and Beijing is the most prosperous place in the capital. The market is still very lively. These days are the Lantern Festival, and the streets are full of people and bustling ladies.
It’s just the refugees and beggars all over the ground that give this scene of the Lantern Festival a dark color.
Leng Ningyun was sitting in a sedan chair and was returning to the shop outside the front door. These days, he has been busy visiting guests, both business partners and running around on missions - his financial expansion plan has temporarily come to a halt.
It is no longer very difficult to ensure that Sun Yuanhua does not die - Sun Yuanhua escaped from the situation in time, eliminating the suspicion of rebellion. However, judging from the current situation, it is still quite difficult to keep his official position.
After Sun Yuanhua became the governor of Denglai, according to the practice of the late Ming Dynasty officialdom, as long as an official reaches a certain level or is a high-ranking official in a party, his official reputation will plummet.
There are always impeachment posts to expose this person as a heinous villain, and any trivial matter will be magnified to the extreme. Freedom of speech has reached an unprecedented height. From cabinet bachelors to foreign officials, no one has been criticized.
The officials scolded him like crazy. Although Chongzhen had many shortcomings in his own character, the constant noise from the outside world did seriously affect his judgment.
It is necessary to maintain an unshakable opinion of someone amidst the noisy scolding. Only Yang Sichang was able to do this, and Hong Chengchou was also considered one. However, in the end, he hastily sent troops to aid Jinzhou. It cannot but be said that he was afraid of the "public opinion" of the government and the public.
The elements that influence the emperor are included.
It was entangled until the end. It can be said that during the Chongzhen Dynasty, all ministers who had the slightest ability and dared to serve were basically ruined by this weird "freedom of speech" atmosphere.
When Leng Ningyun was receiving training at the "Farm", it was repeatedly emphasized that he should pay attention to the "public opinion" of the officials - not only could it influence the emperor's judgment, but it could also create a strong atmosphere in the court where the same party and different parties were the same, so that dissenters would not hesitate to
Dare to speak.
The most frightening thing is that this public opinion is often based on the "three correct views". It occupies the commanding heights of public opinion, and it is difficult for even the emperor to refute it. Qingliu's public opinion even controlled the government to a certain extent, causing the tragedy of the Ming Dynasty.
In the end, Emperor Chongzhen would rather sit back and wait for death in Beijing than move the capital to Nanjing—even the prince did not dare to send him away secretly, thus losing the last opportunity for backup. It must be said that this was caused by the clear public opinion that the three views were correct.
"Everything he says is for the country and the people, and he is so upright. In fact, he is not full of male thieves and female prostitutes!" Leng Ningyun is a person who knows the subsequent historical development trend, and knows that these civil servants in the late Ming Dynasty were extremely upright in their views.
Many people were in danger of losing their livelihood. Many people even became domestic slaves of the third surname. Looking at their faces now, they felt even more unbearable.
Leng Ningyun just went to visit an important person - this person's status is not high. It can even be called a very low status: a domestic slave. But he is a well-known figure in the capital. Many officials in the court even saw him.
You should address him as "Mr. Beishan".
But this house slave was not an ordinary person. Even Eunuch Yang, whom Leng Ningyun always thought was awesome, was polite to him when he saw him. He was even too polite.
This person is the domestic slave of Zhang Yixian, the eunuch and eunuch in charge of rituals in the palace.
Starting from the fourth year of Chongzhen, the originally abolished practice of sending internal eunuchs to supervise the army was restored, and the power of the eunuchs in the palace began to rise again. And Zhang Yixian, who was in charge of the eunuch of the ceremony, was currently the most popular.
Because he was proficient in planning and talented in economics, the emperor ordered him to be linked to the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works. He also set up an official office for him as the "Prime Minister of Household Workers". His authority was like that of a governor-general. Everyone in the capital said that this was almost the same as
It was the same as Tu Wenfu when he was in power at the age of 9,000. This has caused great controversy in the court since the end of last year. Especially the officials of the original household and the Second Ministry of Industry were all ashamed of being subordinates to the eunuchs, so they all went to court.
I strongly state that this matter cannot be done.
However, Leng Ningyun knew that the civil servants could not change the emperor's wishes in this matter, so he accepted Wu Kaidi's suggestion without hesitation and followed Zhang Yixian's path through Eunuch Yang.
Zhang Yixian is a popular figure in the palace, and now he is the prime minister of household workers. Not only does he have a high status, but he is also very busy with affairs. Not to mention Leng Ningyun is a businessman. Even a great eunuch like Eunuch Yang who is on the edge of the core of palace power cannot easily see him.
Arrived.
Fortunately, power is used to seek rent, and this has been the case since ancient times. Since I have no time or energy, I naturally have a group of confidants to handle these things on my behalf. "Mr. Beishan" is Zhang Yixian's domestic slave who specializes in handling such matters.
It's not that Leng Ningyun has not considered going directly to Xu Guangqi, Zhou Yanru and others, but his identity is rather embarrassing. Moreover, among the cabinet ministers, Zhou Yanru and Xu Guangqi all support Sun Yuanhua. Xu Guangqi's son is related to Sun Yuanhua, and Zhou Yan
Ru was the one who personally supported Sun Yuanhua as governor and accepted a large number of mink gold beads as gifts from Sun Yuanhua. Sun Yuanhua himself had already sent people to walk around them and think of ways. He didn't need to spend too much thought, so he might as well secretly help them.
Good job.
In comparison, it was much more convenient to take the path of a eunuch. After Eunuch Yang heard about his request, although he looked surprised, he did not refuse. After seeing the precious gift, he pondered for a moment and then
A young eunuch was sent to take him to see Young Eunuch Yang.
Little Eunuch Yang took him to the house of "Mr. Beishan" again. The size of Mr. Beishan's residence was very impressive - it was not inferior to Eunuch Yang's residence. The concierge was full of people waiting to see him.
There were all kinds of people, including many officials. Leng Ningyun sat on the cold bench for almost an hour before he was received. Judging from the envious eyes of others, he must have been able to meet people in an hour because of the two Eunuchs Yang.
blessing.
Leng Ningyun continued his main work in Beijing: kowtow and send money. After presenting a batch of rare "Australian treasures", "Mr. Beishan" listened to his request and then politely served tea to see the guests off.
Although people have seen it and spent money, Leng Ningyun has no idea whether it will have any effect. Although the "Australian treasures" presented as gifts are not rare in Lingao, in the Ming Dynasty, these treasures
It was worth almost three thousand taels of silver. This was a huge sum of money in the Ming Dynasty! When Zhou Yanru re-entered the cabinet, the funds for his activities in the court were only ten thousand taels of silver.
Using "precious goods" worth three thousand taels of silver to help Sun Yuan protect his official title is not a small investment. If he fails to do so, even though he is acting under orders, he will end up with the impression of "not doing things well".
"What do you think about this matter?" Although Leng Ningyun wanted to reduce his dependence on Wu Kaidi, he still couldn't help but ask him who was standing in the sedan to serve him.
Wu Kaidi was silent for a moment and said: "It's always between five and five."
"So low?" Leng Ningyun has always felt that things that are not 80% sure are basically impossible to do.
"The master wants to protect Sun Huodong," Wu Kaidi said in a low voice, "It's not enough to support an internal minister, the court also needs to be managed."
"I know that. I'm asking if Prime Minister Zhang will help with this."
"Don't worry, sir. Since Mr. Beishan accepted your post and accepted the gift note, it means that Zhang Nei has no taboos about this matter - otherwise, I'm afraid you won't even be able to see Mr. Beishan."
"So, Prime Minister Zhang agrees?"
"Whether he agrees or not, he has to look at the next step." Wu Kaidi said in a low voice.
This does not mean that nothing has been finalized, Leng Ningyun thought. But he also knew that taking Zhang Yixian's path can only go so far. The next step is to find other ways.
Leng Ningyun's sedan chair returned to the Beijing branch of Delong Bank outside the front door. This place was originally a pawnshop. After it was converted into a bank, it still maintained its original layout. However, the screen wall with the big word "Dang" written in front of the door has been removed.
There is a large gold plaque hanging on the main door, which reads "Delong Bank". Below is the three-bay facade, only the middle bay is open. You can see the stone counter and iron fence inside. If you get closer, you can hear
There were faint sounds of abacuses and voices. A glass skylight was installed on the roof, so the entire bank was brightly lit. However, there were fences everywhere: even the ceiling was made of iron bars. Security work was in place.
Seven or eight clerks are busy behind the counter. This is the store of Delong Beijing Branch. The business in the store is very simple: deposits and withdrawals, joint number exchange and small loans. The business volume is not large. But the profit is relatively stable. It is enough to cope with it.
All expenses of the bank. There is a small courtyard next to the store counter dedicated to receiving relatively wealthy and high-status customers.
On weekdays, Leng Ningyun would always go to the store first when he came back from the outside to see if there was any problem. But today he had no intention of doing that and ordered the bearer to carry the sedan directly from the side door next to the bank gate to the moon cave door of the inner house.
Before. He took his cronies and immediately entered the inner study courtyard, which was specialized in handling confidential matters.
