Chapter 775: Become famous all over the world (2)
When the craftsmen installed the door of Bingtieku, two hours had passed and the sun had risen to 10 o'clock.
The reason why Zhu Ping'an proposed to change the warehouse door before was to ask for a seal to seal the bank and eliminate the possibility of fraud by Zhang Guanku and others in Taicang. Now that the new warehouse door has been replaced, the bank can no longer be closed, so it is necessary to take stock of the Taicang bank as soon as possible to prevent Taicang people from committing fraud.
So, as soon as the craftsmen replaced the new door, Zhu Pingan decided to take stock of the Taicang Bank.
Zhu Pingan stood up and whispered a few words to the Dongchang Blood Sword beside him. The Blood Sword waved his hand and ordered Dongchang Fanzi to divide into two rows and stand in the open space outside the bank door, prohibiting all illegal activities. Relevant people enter the bank.
The officials who were watching the ceremony of changing the warehouse door in Taicang all knew that Zhu Pingan was going to take stock of the warehouse.
Taicang Zhang Guanku and others looked at each other and walked over to Zhu Ping'an in unison.
Among the officials watching the ceremony at this time, there were two very young officials in the corner. They seemed to have deliberately avoided Yan Shifan and others and sat in a corner far away from Yan Shifan.
One of them holds the certificate of Prince Yu's residence and claims to be the Chief of the Right Department of Prince Yu's Palace. He is wearing a black gauze hat, but pulls the net scarf low. He looks young but has a very lush beard. , or a mustache, which always looks a bit incongruous.
This person is obviously the right-hand official of Prince Yu's palace, who is in the fifth rank, but he gives people the impression of being a thief. He has a thick beard and a strong and powerful beard, but the overall impression is very reversed. , cautious, and weak.
The other person also holds a qualification certificate from Prince Yu's Palace. According to the qualification certificate, this person is from the ninth grade companion of Prince Yu's Palace Chief Shi Division. He is not very old. He looks about fourteen or fifteen years old. He is very young. It's astringent, and there seems to be a ring of fluff on the lips, but even so, it can't cover up the beauty.
It looks like a woman is disguising herself as a man, but in this era, the trend of prostitution is still very strong. A handsome reading companion can study ink like a book boy, or wear red sleeves like a maid. Fragrant, haha, this is not a strange thing.
Maybe King Yu also has this kind of interest. When it comes to the prince's privacy, the people in Taicang are too sensible to ask any questions.
The two officials from Prince Yu's Mansion did not come here to watch the ceremony. They just happened to catch up. They had other purposes.
The two came with the handwriting of King Yu. King Yu's handwriting ordered the Taicang Bank to issue annual gifts that were owed for three years as usual.
However, as soon as he took out King Yu's handwriting, Mr. Zhao from Taicang pushed the Ministry of Husband down for any reason, saying that Taicang had regulations that only after seeing the official documents from the Ministry of Husbandry could the money be released. The right-hand chief of Prince Yu's palace, Shi, argued on the grounds of ancestral precedent, but Langzhong Zhao dismissed him easily and casually on the grounds that he had changed the Kumen and was busy with official duties.
Zhao Langzhong and others had already received hints from Yan Shifan, and deliberately withheld King Yu's annual gift. As for the reason, Zhao Langzhong did not know. Anyway, Lord Yan had hinted it, so just follow it.
"My aunt is so angry. What a slave. She claims to be the housekeeper of our family, but in the end she doesn't even give out the master's annual gifts!"
As soon as the ninth grade companion of Prince Yu's Mansion opened his mouth, The identity of a woman disguised as a man was exposed, with a clear female voice called Huang Ying, with a hint of savagery.
It is not difficult to analyze her identity from words such as housekeeper, master, and suici. It is obvious that she is a little princess from the royal family.
"Royal sister, please keep your voice down." Shi, the right-hand man of Prince Yu's palace, quickly reached out and covered the little princess's mouth. At the same time, he looked around and saw that everyone around him was attracted by Zhu Ping'an's actions in front of him. No one noticed this scene. Then he breathed a sigh of relief.
It can be seen from the words of the You Changshi of Prince Yu's Palace that the identity of You Changshi is not simple, and he must also be a member of the royal family.
"Brother, I am fighting for you. They dare not even withhold your annual gifts. These slaves should report to their parents one by one and drag them to the Meridian Gate. Ask Zhan! Let’s see if they still dare!” The little princess snorted and said angrily.
"Ning'an! I have told you so many times that you are not young anymore. Don't always shout and kill. Girls should always remember De Rong's words and deeds. You are always so unruly, where can you let your father go? I'll find you a consort who dares to marry you," Prince Yu's right officer said with a helpless look.
Prince Yu Youshangshi, to be precise, is the third son of the Ming Dynasty, His Royal Highness Prince Yu, Zhu Zaiyou (hòu). He is one of the only two remaining princes of Emperor Jiajing, and he is the eldest. Theoretically speaking, after the death of Prince Zhuangjing Zhu Zaihen the year before last, according to the principle of eldest son succession, he, the older prince, should have been established as the prince.
But it is a pity that the third prince has not been established as a prince, and there is no sign of being established as a prince in the future. On the contrary, because his mother, Concubine Du Kang, is not favored by Emperor Jiajing, and Due to his own personality, ability and other reasons, the prince was not popular with Emperor Jiajing.
The last time he saw his father was during the Chinese New Year, and he only listened to two lectures.
Compared to him, Emperor Jiajing obviously preferred his younger brother who was one month younger than him - the fourth son of the emperor, Prince Jinggong Zhu Zaizhen.
The girl disguised as a man in front of King Yu is none other than his imperial sister - Li He, the third princess of the Ming Dynasty who was most favored by Emperor Jiajing. To be precise, she should be the current eldest princess of the Ming Dynasty, because it turns out that The eldest princess, Princess Chang'an, and the second princess, Princess Sirou, passed away the year before last.
Princess Ning'an is the second daughter of Concubine Cao Duan, the favorite concubine of Emperor Jiajing who misses him day and night. The eldest daughter is Princess Chang'an.
Concubine Cao Duan was the most beloved concubine of Emperor Jiajing. Unfortunately, during the Renyin Palace incident ten years ago, Empress Fang took advantage of Emperor Jiajing's shock to frame Concubine Cao Duan, the general responsible, and falsely ordered Concubine Duan to take care of her. If he commits great treason, he will be put to death in Lingchi.
What you can’t get is the best. Emperor Jiajing missed Concubine Cao Duan day and night, so he transferred his favor to the two daughters left by Concubine Cao Duan. The eldest daughter also died the year before last. Emperor Jiajing Then he transferred all his favor to Princess Ning'an.
It can be said that Princess Ning'an was the most favored among all the princes and princesses. This also led to Princess Ning'an being favored and had a unruly and willful character.
"Emperor~! Brother~!"
Princess Ning'an stamped her foot hard and stared hard at King Yu with her big eyes until King Yu repeatedly waved her hands and said, "Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay!" No more talking, that's all.
"Brother, I think you are too kind, and that's why you were bullied by their slaves. If you ask me, we will report it to our father and drag them to the Meridian Gate to behead them. Let's see who dares to deduct your yearly gifts in the future. "
Seeing that the emperor begged for mercy, Princess Ning'an raised her head proudly and suggested with her little mouth pouted.
"If such a trivial matter bothers my father, he will think that I am useless and incompetent." King Yu shook his head repeatedly and said no. (End of this chapter)
