Chapter 49: Foundation
Unexpectedly, when Hao Fenglou came out, he bumped into an old acquaintance.
Yang Shiqi may have been here to wait for the imperial edict, so he was waiting outside. The pair of 'allies' have now collided with each other. The eyes of the two intertwined. Then, Yang Shiqi smiled and greeted him lightly: "Hao Tongzhi looked good today. I think it was a magpies hanging on the branches. What kind of happy events did he encounter?"
Hao Fenglou quickly returned the gift respectfully and said, "The happy event is not a question, but Mr. Yang is worried about it."
Yang Shiqi pursed his lips and said, "Hao Tongzhi is so polite. Go back quickly. I'll be busy with my studies when I go back. "
Yang Shiqi thought he had received the news long ago.
Hao Fenglou secretly speculated that this old guy would do favors and deliberately pointed out the matter of the Jiaozhi chieftain, and he was always with the emperor. Now that he said it, it was like the matter of the chieftain. Yang Shiqi also made great efforts and said good things to his Hao family.
However, no matter whether this guy has done his best or not, Hao Fenglou has to pretend to be grateful. He has an inexplicable fear of Yang Shiqi. Although this person is not an enemy for the time being, it gives Hao Fenglou a very terrifying feeling, which is even more terrifying than Xie Jin. So Hao Fenglou said: "Thank you, Yang Gong's good words."
Yang Shiqi smiled faintly, said politely, and then brushed his clothes and left.
Hao Fenglou sighed and did not look at his back. He didn't feel very relaxed. The higher he stood on the height, the more he was walking on thin ice and became more cautious. When he thought about it, he suddenly thought of something and became alert.
Just now, His Majesty told him about the matter of the King of Han, saying that he would let the King of Han go to Datong to control the troops on the nine sides to prevent accidents. This idea was a last resort. The prefect of Datong came to complain, which was probably related to the Xu family, and the third young master of the Xu family must have done something ridiculous. In order to prevent chaos at this critical moment, he had to order people to take charge.
It is impossible for the emperor to go to the border town easily, and the Qiuba in the border town was not the situation after the Tumu Fort Incident. At that time, the imperial court sent a minister to control the nine borders, and the status of military officers was reduced to the lowest. Now, the commanders and governors in the border town were all the old brothers of the emperor. Are these people willing to listen to the control of ordinary people?
The only ones who can control the prince and the King of Han are the crown princes, and they cannot take risks easily. The King of Han once made many contributions in the Jingnan period, and most of the Qiu Ba people in the border town were convinced.
Logically speaking, since the emperor made this decision, it would be fine, but the biggest problem is that the King of Han is a vassal king, who controls the nine borders and has always had ambitions. He has hundreds of thousands of elite troops in his hand. He has also received support from the eight people in the border towns and Qiu, so who can guarantee that nothing will go wrong?
Everything... I understand.
While Hao Fenglou understood, he was so cold that he was so cold that the emperor did not call Ji Gang to indirectly, but because the emperor knew that Ji Gang was very close to the King of Han, he called him and said a lot of words because he was the Tongzhi of the Jinyiwei. At the same time, he was holding the Shenwu Guard in his hand.
In a sense, the emperor still trusts himself. In fact, when it comes to the King of Han, the emperor still dotes on his son, and he definitely has enough trust.
But... the emperor is the emperor, and the heavenly family is ruthless, even if it is a father and son, there must be some means left.
Hao Fenglou couldn't help but sigh. He did not hesitate and immediately left the palace. He did not take the post from the Beizhen Prefecture Department. Instead, he returned to his mansion.
"Come, go and invite Zhou Chu to come."
Zhou Chu's identity is the shopkeeper of a ready-to-wear shop, but this shop is the owner of the Hao family. This person's identity is an shopkeeper, but behind his back it is closely related to Shenwuwei.
Of course, this identity is for sight. If Hao Fenglou had any explanation, he would ask him to go to the mansion and let him convey it to the Forbidden Mountain. The Shenwu Guard of Purple Gold Mountain would then convey it to the corresponding stronghold according to the specific orders.
Zhou Chu came very quickly. Hao Fenglou had been waiting for him in the side hall for a long time. When he saw him coming panting, Hao Fenglou said lightly: "Transfer the message... and let people monitor the movements of various armies at any time. The King of Han is about to arrive in Datong. Can people be arranged there in Datong?"
Zhou Chu hurriedly said: "According to the orders of the Lord, there were manpowers in all passes in the border town. Two lieutenants were stationed in Datong, and seven people were bought. There was a hundred households in the army and a clerk in the Datong commander. There was a head of the capital in the Datong Prefecture Office, and we were also ours. In addition, there was a merchant and a few brothels... Whose news is the adults going to ask about?"
Hao Fenglou said lightly: "King of Han..."
When he heard the King of Han, Zhou Chu couldn't help but tremble and looked at Hao Fenglou in shock.
Of course, he did not expect that even the emperor's bloodline and the prince's brothers would be investigated.
Hao Fenglou looked at him indifferently and said lightly: "Why, you seem to have something to say?"
Zhou Chu knew the rules, and he was only responsible for conveying them. Some people in Shenwu Guard were responsible for sorting out their feelings, some were responsible for contact and document communication, and some were responsible for inquiries and bribing personnel. Everyone performed their own duties and no one would care about other people's affairs. Once they talked too much, they would be a taboo. So although he was shocked, he hurriedly said: "I have nothing to say, but I will convey the news."
But Hao Fenglou suddenly remembered something and continued: "Let's wait, there is another thing..."
Zhou Chu stopped and listened attentively.
Hao Fenglou said: "Was that Jin Youzi returned to his hometown after he was sick?"
Zhou Chu hurriedly said: "Yes, the latest news has passed Nanzhili, I'm afraid I've arrived in Poyang at this time. Of course, this is just a humble guess. If you can find out what the specific details are, you can find out as soon as possible."
Hao Fenglou smiled and said, "I asked someone to stare at me. I have to find out everything he does in the village. I have to hold his news in the briefing every month and send it to me at any time."
A cabinet minister who has retired has no value to everyone at present.
As for beating the dog in the water, this is a very shameless behavior. Moreover, Hao Fenglou certainly cannot have any rift with this person. Even if there is, it will not be as good as a life-and-death situation. Logically speaking, this matter is a bit unnecessary, but Hao Fenglou is very serious.
Zhou Chu nodded and said, "I understand it in a humble way."
Seeing Zhou Chu leave, Hao Fenglou breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, this was a secret instructed by the emperor. He was just an executor, so for him, it was actually no big deal. Apart from sighing a few words of accompanying the king as if he was a tiger, what else could Hao Fenglou be able to do?
However, after explaining the matter, Hao Fenglou seemed to be intrigued.
The imperial edict... is finally about to be issued. Although the Hao family has been operating in Jiaozhi for a short time, in the past two years, the Hao family has worked hard in Jiaozhi and finally got the current situation. And the imperial edict to appoint and remove the chieftains, then, the Jiaozhi area will be truly owned by half of the Hao family from then on.
Hao Fenglou rubbed his hands, and had been struggling in this capital for so long, intrigueing with others, making secret arrangements, and being frightened step by step. Now... he finally got what he wanted, and at this moment, he couldn't help but hide his excitement in his heart.
He quickly asked someone to bring in a pen and ink, carried a pen and wrote a letter, and wrote some things about the capital together with the summons of today's emperor in the letter, and then ordered people to send them out.
Jiaozhi is about to change a lot again. Hao Fenglou's mood couldn't help but feel a little lighter.
In fact, everything from border towns or Han Kings has nothing to do with him. At least for the time being, there is nothing to do with him. Jiaozhi is very different. This involves the affairs of the descendants of the Hao family, so of course we cannot underestimate them.
In fact, before we knew it, Hao Fenglou had been completely assimilated by this era. In this dynasty based on family units, people are by no means individuals. Everyone is like a speck of dust and inconspicuous. However, the family is closely related to everyone. The family, country and the world must have a family first before they know that there is a country. It seems that this is selfish, but this is the case in the world. With the slow assimilation, Hao Fenglou has long become a very "normal" ancient man.
"Young Master..."
At this time, a servant outside the study said carefully.
Hao Fenglou has also become accustomed to his appearance as a young master and shows his majesty to his subordinates. Therefore, although he is young, he is subtly influenced and no longer kind to others. On the contrary, on the face of this little master, he is the same old-fashioned and stern as all the heads of the family are.
The servant in the green hat came in and said, "The old lady heard that the young master came back and asked the villain to come and ask if he had gone over and talked."
Hao Fenglou's cold and stern face suddenly calmed down. Only women can melt men in this world. When he heard Hao's mother, Hao Fenglou was like the ice barbecued in the fire, and it became much gentler in an instant. He continued: "You go and repay me, just say that there is nothing wrong today. I will go and say I will greet you later. At night, I will also have dinner with my mother at home. Oh, yes, let the young lady and Xiang'er come together."
The servant hurriedly said, "Yes." After that, he left carefully.
Sitting in this huge study, this book is Hao Zheng's study, and the books in it may be decorated, but when he comes into contact with it, Hao Fenglou seemed to have become a scheming owner, and he couldn't help but go out to pull out a book from the bookcase and look at it absent-mindedly under the lamp.
