Chapter 1320 Straight Talk

After the bidding for the government, these censors were more or less implicated, and now they have no good future in the officialdom. Because they suffered in the capital, it would be better to continue to find powerful financial supporters to cooperate. The eunuch party definitely does not need them. Hutchison is already a giant. If the news of the remake has not been revealed before, as soon as the news of the remake came, these little reptiles in the officialdom immediately smelled the wind and their interest in Hutchison increased greatly.

"I am also useless." Liu Guojin thought for a moment and said, "But if I have something to hold it on to me in the future, I will definitely want to pass on a message. Please rest assured."

There is such a promise that is better than anything else. Fang Youdu and others are all smiling. As for some doctors or officials at the top of the court, most of them want to ask Liu Guojin to contact Hutchison. Liu Guojin introduced Li Guobin to them and said, "This Li Guobin has lived in the capital for generations, and he has also had fame and honor. You are not bad at dealing with him. At least there are any things on the ground in the capital, and he will definitely help."

Everyone had heard of Li Guobin. In fact, the Ice and Charcoal Music Festival will be given to him every year, but the officials did not take a business seriously. They only knew that Li Guobin was doing well in the circle of nobles and military officials, and eunuchs. In the circle of civil servants, they would not be too interested in the shopkeepers and fake students of a business. However, when Liu Guojin said this, everyone acted as if they had heard of this person for the first time, and were very grateful to Liu Guojin for his recommendation.

When Liu Guojin got on the car, the civil servants did not disperse, but bowed to Liu Guojin together. Originally, these people came over on horseback or sitting in sedan chairs, intending to send Liu Guojin out of the city. Now Tian Ergeng is in the car. They are not the backbone of the eunuch party and their identities are not enough. Moreover, they are unwilling to be too close to the Governor of the Jinyiwei, so they bowed to Liu Guojin at the entrance of the alley.

When Liu Guojin got on the carriage, Tian Ergeng looked at the dense crowd outside and smiled and said, "Mr. Liu is worthy of being an old senior in the imperial examination field. He has a high prestige. So many people are here to see him off."

Liu Guojin thought to himself: Didn’t he ask Zhang Han to get the name of reconcile?

But he said lightly: "I dare not, but I am afraid that I will not be able to return to the capital again, so everyone is more polite."

Yao Zongwen said, "You don't have to say more polite words, Senior Liu, I think they are here for Hutchison and Zhang Han?"

"I can't say this, either." Liu Guojin glared at Yao Zongwen and said, "Be careful of your words, be careful of your words."

"It's okay." Tian Ergeng smiled and stopped Liu Guojin's words, meaning he didn't mind.

At this time, the carriage headed towards Xibianmen, and the body only had a slight vibration. Tian Ergeng felt the vibration of the carriage and felt quite comfortable. He was just a young military officer who was unsuccessful before, and he did not have his share when Hutchison sent the carriage to the Eagle Party. Later, after the Hutchison broke the Eagle Party again. Tian Ergeng was afraid of making taboos, so he didn't touch anything about Hutchison. Now he regretted it vaguely, and he still had to find a way to get such a car, which was more comfortable than sitting in a sedan chair, and even more respectable.

In terms of price, it doesn’t matter to an official like Tian Ergeng, but it’s best to get one with a stake. It’s not a matter of money, but a matter of face.

"I'll just say it straight. Time is limited, and I'll have to go to see Eunuch Wei later." Tian Ergeng said to Liu Guojin: "The remake of the trap has spread to the capital, and there are many discussions in the public, and there are news from all sides."

"What did Eunuch Wei say in unknown?"

"Eunuch Wei didn't say anything, he just shook his head and smiled bitterly."

Tian Ergeng said: "Of course, the people in the capital are more popular. Many people want to set off firecrackers. Eunuch Wei ordered Dongchang and Jinyiwei to stop it everywhere. Did you know about this?"

Liu Guojin nodded and said, "I know, but to be honest, the people are much happier, and most gentry are in a complicated mood. The nobles and military officers are much dissatisfied. Many people even said that they can reconcile the trap when they take the Beijing camp. Just listen to this kind of dream talk."

Tian Ergeng acted as a sincere and secret conversation, so Liu Guojin didn't mind telling the truth to the other party.

"Yes, that's it." Tian Ergeng said: "The people, merchants, gentry, and nobles all have different ideas and opinions. However, even if the nobles are hyped, they are only a few, and most of them are still quite shocked. Now they are just rumors. The palace is still waiting for the official report from Yansui and the governor of Ningxia. Therefore, many people still have the mentality of being lucky and think that the rumors may not be true. Liu Weng, what do you think?"

Liu Guojin knew that this was also a smart person in front of him, so he might as well tell the truth to smart and powerful people. He said seriously: "In my opinion, the rumors are mostly facts. If you have such a big deal, if you don't have real achievements, you can't brag about this. Also, if Huo Luochi did not really fall into He Ji's hands, they would not make up this rumor. If it is exposed, Lord Zhang's image for so many years will be completely destroyed. It is not worth the loss. Why bother?"

"It's reasonable and reasonable!" Tian Ergeng smiled and said, "From now on, Zhang Wenlan not only has the strength to unify Mongolia, but also has such an idea. To be honest, since Hutchison emerged on the grassland, we have put some spies in Xuanfu and Jizhen. In fact, it was to ask the local civil servants and generals to inquire about the news on the bush. They are close to the grassland and will always get some useful news. Recently, I heard that the Shang Tuan was mobilizing quite frequently, and there were many large army.

It is obvious that Hutchison not only had a trap, but also had to target Lin Dankhan and Chahar tribe. After Lin Dankhan took it down, the entire Mongolia would become a country with a vast territory of 10,000 miles. With Zhang Wenlan, who had financial resources, ambitions, and strong soldiers, Liu Weng said that the factory was also quite worried about the private talk. If Hutchison went south, it would be much harder than Altan Khan back then!"

Liu Guojin was also quite shocked.

Before, we learned that Hutchison occupied Qingcheng on the grassland and had a strong force in the Datong area, which was equivalent to a country in the middle of the country. When he went to Datong, he originally had the intention of avoiding disaster. But he never expected that Hutchison was such a huge creature. If the Chahar tribe from Hetao to the east were really conquered, Zhang Han was actually the lord of a great country, and his territory was not inferior to the old Liao Kingdom. However, the Liao people had the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, and Zhang Han did not occupy the Han territory.

However, after thinking about it, Hutchison's situation within the Ming Dynasty was even more powerful than the sixteen Khitan states. Liu Guojin privately investigated Hutchison, and his financial resources were extremely huge, even so large that it felt terrifying.

With such strong financial resources and such a large territory, the Mongolians who have control over hundreds of thousands of people are used by them, and they also have strong army armed forces. If such a person has the ambition to the world, he is indeed a threat and opponent that the Ming Dynasty cannot ignore.

"Many people think that the threat of Hutchison is still above the Dongliu." Tian Ergeng said seriously: "Although the Dongliu is strong, the closing gate is enough to stop them. After all, they are only a small tribe with tens of thousands of mouths. Hutchison's strength should be above the Dongliu. The only hope now is that Zhang Wenlan is a famous minister after all, and should have a loyal and righteous heart. Otherwise, if the incident happened, he would be in the future!"

Liu Guojin sneered in his heart. The court was really declining. For such a strong threat, if Taizu had been replaced, he would have been killed in the Chengzu period. If Yingzong, he would have sent generals to fight and fight to wipe out the enemy during the Xianzong period. Even in the early years of Jiajing and Wanli, he would have restricted activities recorded within the Ming Dynasty, not afraid of their rebellion, and at most he would have defended along the border walls to block his troops from moving south.

The current court is looking forward to others restraining themselves with loyalty and righteousness. This is really the funny joke in the world... Did Emperor Taizu Gao use loyalty and righteousness to restrain himself from assassinating the Little Ming King?

If you have a great throne in front, loyalty and righteousness are useless!

Liu Guojin remained silent, Tian Ergeng was also silent for a while. Yao Zongwen made up his mind to do nothing. For a moment, the body of the car became quiet, and only the hawkers on the streets outside, the voices of pedestrians, and the sound of the car body as the wheels were traveling.

After a long time, the carriages and horses left the Xibianmen. At the beginning, there were still many houses built on the city, and the population was still quite dense. After walking for a while, villages and fields appeared. The people were sparse and the pedestrians became fewer. Most of them were just merchants who came to Beijing along the official road. Of course, most of them were Shanxi merchants coming from Zhangjiakou, and Shaanxi merchants. There was also Mongolian camel caravans ten years ago. Due to the existence of the horse market, the court did not prohibit them. Anyway, they were named Shanxi merchants, so they would give them more money.

It's just the first month of the year, and there are not many business trips, and it even gives people a feeling of being quite depressed.

The village was hidden among dead trees with all leaves, and there was still snow on the branches. There was snow and hanging ice on the roofs of the village, which made people feel even more cold.

After watching for a while, Tian Ergeng finally said, "I will be farewell after sending you thousands of miles away. Liu Weng, the last sentence before leaving, I will remind me of Zhang Wenlan..."

Liu Guojin smiled bitterly in his heart... I don't know how many layers he and Zhang Han are separated, so how easy it is to see Zhang Han? Of course, we can't tell the truth at this time. Don't look at Tian Ergeng's gentle and polite appearance. I don't know how many people died in the Beizhen Fushishi of the Jinyiwei, including officials, students, innocent merchants from the capital and other places. This man's hands were covered with blood, and his eyes were still cold when he smiled happily.

Tian Ergeng said with a sincere face: "I have dealt with Hutchison and know that Zhang Wenlan is the kind of person who has trusted him. I, Tian, ​​have many lives, but the one who killed people is the factory, not the subordinate. In nature, I like to be kind to others, so if you want to cooperate, please rest assured."

Liu Guojin almost laughed when he heard this, and Yao Zongwen also looked embarrassed.

Tian Ergeng continued seriously: "There is still a message here to tell him that Hutchison's army is powerful and has strong financial resources. Many people have long been watching Hutchison. The re-encapsulated force cannot scare these people. As long as Hutchison cannot enter the capital, they will not care even if they rebel. So now Hutchison can still do business in the Ming Dynasty. The main reason is that the emperor puts the overall situation first. If the emperor changes his mind, it will be difficult to say."

This time, Yao Zongwen and Liu Guojin listened very seriously. Both of them like to analyze the conspiracy, weigh the pros and cons, and see the strengths of the forces of all parties.

Unfortunately, Tian Ergeng did not say which big shot was. This is called whether the two conspirators could start.
