Chapter 416
Lu Fang originally wanted to explain clearly to Zhang Hao so that Zhang Hao would not let him fall into danger, but Jiajing actually said that Zhang Hao would not go back, which made Lu Fang a little confused.
"You don't know that there are many smuggling people in the south, involving all aspects. Even the officials in the court, as well as some noble families, are involved in this, and those vassal kings, probably must be involved. Zhang Hao doesn't want to go to the south. Even if he wants to go, he needs to let the people below know in advance that Zhang Hao is going to do this and ask them to stop in advance. In this way, Zhang Hao will not offend them when he gets there!" Jiajing sat there and sighed.
"This, Zhang Hao shouldn't think so much, right?" Lu Fang looked at Jiajing in surprise and asked. If according to Jiajing's words, Zhang Hao would have deliberately violated Jiajing's intention. If Jiajing knew about it now, he would be dissatisfied with Zhang Hao.
"It's not that I don't think so much, but I will definitely think so. As far as I know, Zhang Hao's beating his sister-in-law's house involves this. What should you do if you ask Zhang Hao to do?" Jiajing looked at Lu Fang and continued to ask. When Lu Fang heard this, he looked at Jiajing in surprise.
"Zhang Hao has no choice. In addition, now he knows that if he continues to provoke those vassal kings, those vassal kings will take action. He knows that I want to continue to eliminate some vassal kings. Many vassal kings are very rich and make money by smuggling. If Zhang Hao goes over and investigates, those vassal kings will definitely take action. Zhang Hao doesn't want to go!" Jiajing continued to say to Zhang Hao.
"Your Majesty, has this misunderstood Zhang Hao? Zhang Hao is not afraid of those vassal kings!" Lu Fang hurriedly said to Jiajing.
"Zhang Hao is not afraid, but this kid is lazy. It is better to have less trouble than more things. What is he afraid of? If those vassal kings really mess with him, do you believe it or not, he will be very happy at that time and then run to someone else's house to kill people, but this kid is lazy!" Jiajing said to Lu Fang,
When Lu Fang heard this, she felt a little unaware of Jiajing. Did Jiajing doubt Zhang Hao or did she trust Zhang Hao as usual?
"This kid is rich now, so he wants to keep up with it slowly. Anyway, he is not short of money, so he doesn't even want to be an official!" Jiajing said to Lu Fang with a sigh.
"Let's continue to cheat on his money?" Lu Fang asked as she looked at Jiajing.
"I can't cheat. This kid is very smart now and looks at money very tightly. It's not at the beginning. He has been fooled several times before, but now he can still be fooled. As long as I have money here, no matter what reason we find to cheat him of money, he will not take out the money. This kid is also staring at my money. As long as I have money, this kid will not make money. If I have no money, he will find a way!" Jiajing looked at Lu Fang with a wry smile and said,
When Lu Fang heard this, she still looked at Jiajing with some ignorance.
"He is worried that I will cheat him. If I have no money, I will definitely stare at his money, so this kid will also stare at my money!" Jiajing looked at Lu Fang helplessly and said,
Only then did Lu Fang understand and couldn't help laughing.
"Hey, this kid, I'm afraid there will be dangers when he goes to the south this time. I originally thought that he would go to investigate now. In this way, he would catch them off guard, but this kid is unwilling to go!" Jiajing sighed again, worried that the officials would stare at Zhang Hao.
"Emperor, Zhang Hao is now the commander, and he will take the Jinyiwei when he goes out. I guess no one dares to touch Zhang Hao, right? And if the imperial envoy is killed, all local officials will be put into the ground by then!" Lu Fang thought about it and said to Jiajing.
"You don't know how cruel those officials were. When Taizu killed those civil officials, it was really not wrong. Those civil officials were hypocritical and insidious. There was nothing they dared to do. When Taizu killed so cruelly, those civil officials still continued to be corrupt. So, don't underestimate those civil officials!" Jiajing looked at Lu Fang and said,
Lu Fang nodded.
"What should I do? Everyone is in a dilemma!" Lu Fang didn't know what to do.
"I don't know. Anyway, there are almost two months left. I'll think of a solution. In addition, Zhang Hao must also stare at the officials outside. You can't be fooled by them. If you are fooled by them and killed, it will be troublesome!" Jiajing shook his head and said. He didn't think of a countermeasure now, but he still has time, so don't worry,
When Zhang Hao was going to check taxes in the south, some officials soon learned that when those officials learned the news, the first person they wanted to find was Yan Song, because Yan Song still had a great influence on the south.
Yan Song was too late to hide at this moment. He didn't want to go to Zhang Hao to have anger and conflict. Now he understood that no matter who had a conflict with Zhang Hao, Jiajing would go to Zhang Hao. Even Lu Bing was killed. What else would he say?
So, after Yan Song learned about this, he immediately went home. The first thing he did when he went home was to instruct the doorman at home that he would not see any guests in the past few days.
Yan Shifan also learned that Yan Song came back and immediately arrived at Yan Song's study room and saw Yan Song sitting there worried.
"Dad, what's wrong? It's worth it today?" Yan Shifan looked at Yan Song and asked.
"Well, I haven't seen anyone at home these days, and I don't see anyone. You are not allowed to take the initiative to see those officials. Have you heard that?" Yan Song stared at Yan Shifan and warned.
"Ah, yes, dad. I understand!" Yan Shifan nodded and said when he heard this.
"It's good to know. The south is going to change. If Zhang Hao really wants to investigate, I don't know how many people will die, nor how many officials will lose their lives!" Yan Song said with a sigh. There are many officials in the south who are of their own.
Moreover, the reason why I was able to make money for Jiajing was obtained through the officials in the south. Now, Zhang Hao was going to the south. Isn’t this going to kill his life? I don’t know what to do now.
"Dad, what happened?" Yan Shifan sat down and looked at Yan Song incomprehensible and asked.
"Hey!" Yan Song sighed, and then told Yan Shifan today's imperial edict.
Yan Shifan felt bad when he heard this. Generally, officials from the south returned to Beijing to report their duties. The first thing they did was to come to his mansion and visit his father first. Now, Zhang Hao was going to the south, which was really troublesome.
"Dad, hasn't the emperor taken back the imperial edict? I wonder, will you not investigate?" Yan Shifan asked at Yan Song.
"Is it possible not to investigate anymore? Since the emperor has started, how could he not investigate anymore?" Yan Song glanced at Yan Shifan and said.
"Didn't Zhang Hao go now? Since he didn't go, I think there is still room for maneuver, right?" Yan Shifan said to Yan Song.
"Now I don't know why I didn't go, and Zhang Hao has gone to Xuanhua now. Otherwise, I really want to sit with Zhang Hao. This time, Lu Ben seems to be fine, and I don't know why. I asked Lu Ben several times, but Lu Ben didn't say it.
And he also handed over 200,000 taels of silver to the treasury. After paying it, there was no punishment. I really couldn't understand it. Lu Ben's memorial for retirement had been approved. However, I don't know who the new cabinet is, and I don't know who the prime minister is. I am also worried. If it is normal, I will be the prime minister. I am still useful to the emperor.
But in this way, the emperor does not need me to be the chief minister, so my position will be dangerous. Even the emperor will not stay with me for a long time. Now, we need to make a plan to retreat!" Yan Song sat there and said worriedly.
He was indeed worried about his own way of retreat. Lu Ben was a little surprised, but he could understand that Lu Ben was a man who was corrupt, but not much, and he also made a lot of contributions to the Ming Dynasty. It is understandable that Jiajing saved his life, but will he have a good ending?
Whose path did Lu Ben take? Is it Zhang Hao's? This made Yan Song very curious. He wanted to know who Lu Ben asked for, so he asked for it himself, hoping that he could help him, but Lu Ben just didn't say it.
In fact, Lu Ben didn't dare to say that Zhang Hao would not pursue the safe resignation this time, and Jiajing didn't want him to die, so he left him. Otherwise, his life would have been gone long ago. Therefore, Lu Ben didn't dare to cheat Zhang Hao now. If he did, then if Zhang Hao dealt with him, Jiajing would not help him.
"Dad, no, it's not that serious, right? Didn't you say that Xu Jie can't be the prime minister yet? The emperor still has to keep Xu Jie for backup now. If Xu Jie is pushed out now, it would be dangerous. Since that's the case, you can only be the one. It's impossible to say that the newcomer is the prime minister, right? Dad, I think you're too worried!" Yan Shifan looked at Yan Song and persuaded him.
"I also hope to worry too much, but things have not settled down. I can't help but worry. This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is the south. Zhao Wenhua is in Nanjing. He helps us maintain the officials in the south. If Zhang Hao wants to investigate those officials, once Zhao Wenhua is found, then we will find ours. Moreover, once Zhao Wenhua is killed by Zhang Hao, we will lose one person who can maintain the officials in the south!" Yan Song sat there and said worriedly.
"That's true, but there's no need to worry now. After all, the imperial edict has been taken back, and I guess it's impossible to go. Moreover, if Zhang Hao goes, I guess the vassal kings in the south will not let Zhang Hao go easily. Those vassal kings have made a lot of money!" Yan Shifan advised Yan Song,
