Chapter 48 Amazing Benefits
Just when Zhu Zaijing was thinking about how to get some eunuch talents from the inner study, a boy from outside stumbled in and said breathlessly: " Something is wrong with the prince!"
Zhu Zaijing, who was planning the future Shunyi Industrial Park with Meng Chong, frowned when he heard the voice, "What happened?"
The boy who came over knelt on the ground, gasping and nervously replied: "Shopkeeper Liu was taken away."
Zhu Zaijing stood up suddenly, with a cold look in his eyes, and asked: "Who is it?" ”
The boy continued to reply: "He is from the Yan Mansion."
When Zhu Zaijing heard that he was from the Yan Mansion, his temper suddenly exploded.
“Damn, that’s too much! How dare you arrest my own people?”
When Zhu Zaijing got angry, he wanted to go find the situation himself.
When Meng Chong saw this, he quickly stopped him, "My lord, no, please calm down, you can't come forward."
Zhu Zaijing said angrily: "Go away, didn't you see that people are bullying you? If I don't stand up and vent my anger today, who will take me seriously in the future?"
But Meng Chong still hugged Zhu Zaijing's thigh tightly and refused to let Zhu Zaijing go out.
Because Zhu Zaijing's identity is too sensitive, if he leaves the palace and has a conflict with the people of Yan's mansion, it will be difficult to end.
God knows what anger Emperor Jiajing will have waiting behind him.
Meng Chong said: "Your Majesty, you really cannot be impulsive. If this matter reaches the ears of the Emperor, you may be punished by the Emperor, whether you are justified or not."
After Zhu Zaijing heard Meng Chong's words, he restrained his impulsive emotions.
Meng Chong is right. As his identity is sensitive, it is impossible for him to come forward in person to cause a conflict with the Yan Mansion.
Because once this kind of conflict arises, it is extremely difficult to calm it down.
In the end, either Zhu Zaijing will be defeated or Yan Song will be dismissed.
But now it is obvious that Yan Song cannot be dismissed by Emperor Jiajing. Emperor Jiajing is still counting on Yan Song to help him deal with those disobedient ministers so that he can practice Taoism with peace of mind.
Therefore, there is a high probability that only Zhu Zaijing will be unlucky in the end, and if this bad luck is serious, everything Zhu Zaijing has been struggling with now may be wiped out.
You must know that this is not a modern society that emphasizes the rule of law. The emperor's words can make people live or die.
Even a son may not be able to tolerate others!
Because imperial power is a naturally exclusive and selfish power, it does not allow for weaknesses.
Zhu Zaijing stopped his movements and sat on the chair, "Let me think about it. Since I can't come forward, then find someone who can come forward, and it has to be Yan Song who must be polite. ”
Looking at such a figure in the entire Ming Dynasty, it seems that only Huang Jin, the eunuch beside Emperor Jiajing, has such a deterrent effect.
At this time, Zhu Zaijing could not care less about the consequences of being too close to Huang Jin and causing Emperor Jiajing's suspicion.
Zhu Zaijing said to Meng Chong: "Go to Xiyuan and give two bottles of Yiran candy to your father. If you see Huang Jin, tell him that I have something important to ask of you. Ask him to come forward and help me get Liu Yishou back. I am willing to give him three points of profit!"
After Meng Chong heard Zhu Zaijing's words, he also quickly took action, "I will be there soon! Go and do it.”
Just as Meng Chong hurried towards Xiyuan.
Huang Jin was already reporting to Emperor Jiajing about Yirantang.
"Emperor, the factory guard just came to report that the servants of the Yan Mansion forcibly took away Liu Yishou, the shopkeeper of Yirantang under Prince Yu."
Emperor Jiajing heard Huang Jin's report. After that, a trace of anger suddenly appeared on his face.
"Are you so bold? The emperor dares to blatantly snatch people at his feet? Go and deal with it. You can't be impulsive. Otherwise, it will be difficult for me."
Huang Jin said softly. Answer: "Yes, I will do it now." When Huang Jin stepped back from Emperor Jiajing and was about to go to Yan's Mansion, Meng Chong also hurried to Xiyuan.
After Meng Chong saw Huang Jin holding two bottles of Yiran candy in his hand, he quickly bowed: "My son pays homage to my ancestor."
Huang Jin looked at the Yiran candy in Meng Chong's hand. He also understood Meng Chong’s purpose of coming.
Huang Jin said: "Get up, what are you so worried about?"
Meng Chong did not dare to answer directly, turned around and said: "Ancestor, my son is a monk. Prince Yu ordered me to deliver Yiran candy to the emperor.”
Huang Jin looked at Meng Chong and said, "Since it has been delivered, let's go back. Our family will convey Prince Yu's filial piety to the emperor."
How could Meng Chong just turn around and leave at this time? , Meng Chong whispered: "Ancestor, please take a step to speak. My son has something important to report to you."
Huang Jin suddenly smiled, feeling that Meng Chong was smarter now.
Huang Jin smiled and said, "Okay, that's fine. But our family has something to do later, so you have to tell us as soon as possible."
Meng Chong carefully supported Huang Jin's arm, and the two of them walked away Arriving at the pavilion on the side.
Meng Chong said: "Ancestor, you know that my son will do his best in Prince Yu's Mansion and dare not slack off at all. The same is true for Prince Yu. Since the last time Prince Yu was too sad because of Prince Zhuang Jing's affairs, he has also been too thorough and unwilling to do so. The emperor was worried about the royal rice bug, so he started a small business."
"But today the servant in the palace came to report that someone was so bold that he took away the shopkeeper of the palace. The prince was very worried. , was at a loss, so he asked his slave to ask the ancestor for help. The prince said that as long as the ancestor came forward to settle the matter, the prince was willing to give the ancestor three points of profit. "
Huang Jin looked at Meng Chong in surprise. , "Three points of profit?"
Meng Chong affirmed: "Yes, as long as the ancestors can settle this matter, the prince is willing to pay three points of profit!"
Huang Jin took his time. asked: "How much is three points of profit?"
Meng Chong whispered: "The minimum is ten thousand taels a month!"
After hearing the ten thousand taels, Huang Jin suddenly lost his composure, and his tone couldn't help but raise a bit, "How much can you say?" ? Ten thousand taels a month?"
Meng Chong quickly whispered: "Old ancestor, please keep your voice down, this is what the prince meant."
Huang Jin was obviously attracted by the ten thousand taels. The figures were shocking. He knew that Yirantang made money, but he didn’t know that Yirantang’s profits were so huge!
Huang Jin originally thought that Yirantang’s profit would only be a thousand taels of silver a month.
Now I heard Meng Chong say that three points of profit is only ten thousand taels. Doesn't that mean that the cost of Yiran candy is the same as the price of the sold sugar?
Now Huang Jin was no longer calm. Huang Jin said: "Please help me, we are a little dizzy. Ten thousand taels? Are you sure you are right?"
Meng Chong was anxious. Said: "How dare my son lie to our ancestors! I beg our ancestors to come forward and settle this matter, otherwise the prince will definitely come to confront Yan Mansion in person."
Huang Jin took a deep breath, " Okay, I understand. You go back first and tell Prince Yu that our family will definitely take care of things."
When Meng Chong heard this, Immediately he felt at ease, and Meng Chong bowed to Huang Jin again: "Thank you, ancestor, my son will go back soon."
Huang Jin waved his hand, now he was also digesting the shock.
There are ten thousand taels! This was not a small amount, and Huang Jin did not dare to hold it in his own hands.
Huang Jin quickly got up and returned to the monastery where Emperor Jiajing was practicing.
Emperor Jiajing, who was meditating, heard the noise outside, and his face showed a hint of displeasure. He didn't like people making noise while he was practicing.
But when Emperor Jiajing opened his eyes and found that the visitor was Huang Jin, his displeasure disappeared. Emperor Jiajing said dissatisfied: "Didn't I ask you to help San'er settle the trouble? Why haven't you left yet? ?”
Huang Jin said anxiously: "Emperor, I have something more important to report!"
