Chapter 163 The struggle between interest factions within the civil service group!
"Xu Shoufu, don't worry, I naturally know the importance."
Liu Daxia smiled and gave Xu Pu a reassuring look.
"Eighty-two years ago, Emperor Taizong conquered Annan. Many terrains and locations on the map have changed."
"And after going back tonight , I will revise Annan’s old slip, and the Ming army will return without success.”
"It's easy to repel the Annan army, but it's not that simple to regain the county of Annan!"
"That's great!"
Xu Pu smiled happily: "The battle of Annan The earth must never be controlled by Ming again.”
"It's just a pity that the favor that Mr. Yang Shiqi left for Li in the past was used up so quickly."
Yu Shen calmly flattered: "I can save two people." My lord, this favor is not a pity.”
"As long as the two adults are still in the court, no matter what price everyone pays, it will be worth it."
After saying this, the Jiangnan civil servants in the room looked at each other and smiled at each other.
After laughing, Liu Daxia brought up another serious matter.
"Yu Shen, please contact Xuanfu to ask Yang Tong to restrain himself."
"Although we passed the risk this time, we don't always have a trump card that can avert danger. ”
"The armor and firearms he wants this year will be halved by the Ministry of War!"
"There will also be food and military pay."
Xu Pu also looked at Yu Shen, with a warning in his eyes: " Tell Yang Tong not to go too far."
“What happened in Datong last time must never happen again!”
Yu Shen’s face froze, and then he squeezed out a smile: “Yes, yes, what the two adults taught you is, I will tell General Yang Tong.”
"After that, General Yang Tong must be restrained and avoid the limelight."
"The dividends of the two adults this year will be reduced..."
"Yu Shen! You know What are you talking about? "
"I tell you, don't get carried away and push yourself too far!"
Before Yu Shen finished speaking, Liu Daxia suddenly cursed, his language was so straightforward that Yu Shen froze. In situ.
"Didn't Xu Shoufu and I stop the trouble you and Yang Tong caused enough?!"
"Just because of your troubles, Xu Shoufu and I stayed in Dongchang Prison for three days! "
"Is the Dongchang Prison a place for people to stay? !”
“Who are Xu Chieffu and I doing for?”
“If Xu Chieffu and I hadn’t withstood His Majesty’s pressure in the past few days, you and Yang Tong would have colluded to smuggle arms. The matter will be known to His Majesty.”
"Do you think that after His Majesty knows about this, you will still have a chance to sit here and talk to us?!"
"With His Majesty's temper, not punishing you and the Yangtong Nine Clan would be considered an extra favor from His Majesty! ”
“Xu Shou and I I saved the lives of two of your clan members. Is this a lot of money?”
“Did Xu Shoufeng and I ever ask for more money from you?”
As soon as Liu Daxia said these words, the whole room fell silent.
Xu Pu, Xie Qian and others looked at Yu Shen quietly, and all the original smiles on their faces faded away.
In front of so many people, Yu Shen was scolded by Liu Daxia like a son, which made him feel extremely humiliated.
He took deep breaths several times before controlling his expression and showing a stiff smile.
“What Liu Shangshu taught you is that General Yang Tong and I will never forget your great kindness and kindness.”
“Everything is my fault and General Yang Tong’s. , the two adults’ dividends this year will be business as usual.”
"Haha, Liu Shangshu, you are too impulsive. Yu Shilang's attitude of admitting his mistakes is quite good."
Xu Pu smiled and the air in the room became normal.
After chatting for a while, everyone in the room stood up and left.
After Yu Shen left Xu Pu's house, his face turned terribly dark.
The civil service group has never been monolithic, and is also divided into several interest groups.
For example, northerners such as Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Wang Shu would not interfere with the affairs of these Jiangnan people.
In the Jiangnan Civil Service Group, there are also people from other interest chains involved, such as the Border Town Smuggling Group represented by Yang Tong.
Yu Shen, he was just a minister of the Ministry of War, and above him was the Minister of War, Liu Daxia.
His status in the Jiangnan Civil Service Group is actually very low.
The reason why he was able to participate in this meeting was that all the top leaders of departments such as Ge Lao Shanshu were involved.
It's entirely because, in addition to being a member of the Jiangnan Civil Service Group, he is also the representative of the Bian Town Smuggling Group in the capital.
Yu Shen and Yang Tong, the chief military officer of the Xuanfu, were relatives by marriage.
Yang Tong's younger brother Yang Qing married Yu Shen's sister Yu.
Through this relationship, Yu Shencai took Yang Tong's route and joined the Bian Town smuggling group.
His main source of income also comes from the north.
At that time, he was on patrol in Jinzhou and stayed in the border towns of Datong and Xuanfu for more than ten years. There had been collusion between them.
Bian Town smuggling requires the cooperation of these two powerful ministers, and naturally they need to be given dividends.
Of course, the money was not sent to the capital, but directly to their hometowns in Nanzhili and Ganzhou.
Now Xu Pu and Liu Daxia are asking them to restrain themselves in the border town, and at the same time they are asking them to pay the usual dividends.
This is so deceiving!
Yu Shen gritted his teeth and returned to his home, and invited his sister Yu to come and talk overnight.
Yu Shen told Yu Shi what Xu Pu and Liu Daxia said.
Then Yu returned home and conveyed these words to Yang Qing.
After hearing this, Yang Qing prepared to leave for Xuanfu without saying a word and told his brother Yang Tong about the matter.
On the same night, after Liu Daxia returned to his residence, he rummaged through the boxes and cabinets and found out the old Annan slips he had hidden.
When I opened it, I found that many of the images on it were blurred due to the age.
Liu Daxia specially selected those images that could still be seen clearly, and quietly changed them a lot. It wasn't until midnight that Liu Daxia finished revising Annan's old slips overnight and sent someone to send them to the palace together with his own memorial.
……
Forbidden City.
Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Youtang woke up from the dragon bed. Chen Yuanyuan beside him had finished dressing and was waiting in front of the bed.
Zhu Youtang stood up and asked Chen Yuanyuan to help him dress, while asking: "Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Chen Yuanyuan arranged Zhu Youtang's clothes. Leader, he said softly: "I've been sleeping lightly these past few days, and I woke up early. I was lying down with nothing to do, so I woke up early."
"Sleeping lightly? It seems like you have something on your mind. .”
Zhu Youtang chuckled and touched Chen Yuanyuan's belly with his hand.
Chen Yuanyuan felt shy when Zhu Youtang told her something important, but her cheeks were not as red as she had just gone to bed.
On the contrary, he grabbed Zhu Youtang's hand and said coquettishly: "Yes, Your Majesty."
"I envy my concubine Shu, and I also want to give birth to your majesty. He is a prince, but there is still no movement in my concubine’s belly.”
Zhu Youtang hugged Chen Yuanyuan and said, “It will happen, let’s eat first.”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After Zhu Youtang and Chen Yuanyuan finished their meal, they prepared to go to Hongde Hall to approve the discounts.
Before leaving, Chen Yuanyuan took Zhu Youtang's hand.
"Your Majesty, you said before that you would come to Jingren Palace to see me, do you still want to count?"
Zhu Youtang raised his eyebrows: "Of course I will."
< br>
"Then please set a time, Your Majesty, so that I can get ready in advance."
Chen Yuanyuan blinked and looked at Zhu Youtang, looking pitiful.
Zhu Youtang knew that he was urging him to go to Jingren Palace.
I said last time that I would go to Jingren Palace to accompany her, but the only time I went to the harem recently was to Xianfu Palace to see Zhang Waner.
Chen Yuanyuan is probably a little bit disgusted.
Zhu Youtang thought for a moment: "Let's do it tonight. I'll go to your place for supper tonight."
After hearing this, Chen Yuanyuan showed a sweet smile and bowed to Zhu Youtang.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"That concubine will be waiting for the Holy Master at Jingren Palace tonight."
Zhu Youtang smiled and squeezed Chen Yuanyuan's face turned around and walked out of Qianqing Palace.
Now the coldest period is over and the weather is gradually getting warmer.
Zhu Youtang first went to the Yangxin Hall for a tour. The Yangxin Hall has been basically completed, and only the final touches on the details are left.
The entire Yangxin Hall will be completely completed soon.
Zhu Youtang nodded with satisfaction and came to Hongde Hall.
The Director of Ceremonies has already sorted out the memorials and inscriptions received today and placed them on the dragon case in Hongde Hall.
Fu Dahai prepared a cup of hot tea and stood respectfully beside the dragon table.
"My servant pays homage to Your Majesty."
Zhu Youtang sat on the dragon table, picked up the tea cup and took a sip before looking at Fu Dahai.
“Get up.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty.”
"Fu Dahai, you have been in charge of many matters of the Supervisor of Ceremonies recently."
Fu Dahai's ears immediately stood up when he heard Zhu Youtang take the initiative to mention the matters of the Supervisor of Ceremonies. Straightforward, for fear of missing a word.
He was in a very uneasy mood. He didn't even dare to take a breath, and waited with bated breath for Zhu Youtang's next words.
If he could go one step further, he would be the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, the eunuch with the highest status and the most power in the palace.
If he can't go further, then this is the only way he can do it in his life.
But fortunately, Zhu Youtang is quite satisfied with Fu Dahai now.
"You have done a good job. I will promote you to be the eunuch in charge of the ceremony and the affairs of the house..."
Speaking of this, Zhu Youtang paused for a moment, and there was something in his mind. There was no suitable candidate, so I could only sigh.
"You should also take care of it."
Fu Dahai was so excited that he burst into tears and kowtowed quickly: "I thank your majesty for your grace!"
"From now on, I will go through fire and water for His Majesty, no matter what!"
"Stop talking about those useless things, just serve me with your heart."
"Yes! Your Majesty is right! !”
Zhu Youtang picked up the memorial on the top of the dragon table and waved his hand.
Fu Dahai quickly exited Hongde Hall without making a sound.
At this moment, Zhu Youtang happened to be looking at the memorial sent by Liu Daxia.
The memorial stated that he had handed over the Annan old slips from the Yongle period.
Zhu Youtang was overjoyed and quickly picked up the old Annan slips given by Liu Daxia and started to read them.
But soon, Zhu Youtang’s brows knitted together.
Many parts of this Annan ancient slip have been blurred, and the reference value has been greatly reduced.
In this case, when the Ming army enters Annan, it will be really dark.
In addition, Annan is mountainous, the terrain is complex and diverse, and there is a miasma of snakes and insects.
If you want to return to Annan, I am afraid you will have to pay a high price.
