Chapter 223: Making trouble at the court meeting (1)
"Salt" is a word that Yin Tianhao will never get away from.
He went from being a stove household who had not had the last meal and almost starved his daughter to death in the cold winter, and then became the richest family of Yongning Mansion by taking the risk of selling private salt. This experience has to be said to be legendary.
It was also because of salt that he almost died in Yongning Mansion. Fortunately, he made the right choice in the end and was able to withdraw from the Yunnan salt circle and come to the capital.
But what Jiang Xia didn't expect was that he was once again in trouble because of salt.
There is no need to explore how deep the water of the Lianghuai Salt Administration is, Jiangxia can be seen by relying on the huge involvement of Yunnan salt administration alone. Even Jiangxia dare not easily cause storms because it involves too many people's interests.
Not to mention Jiang Xia, even Jiang Xia, Liu Jin, Zhang Yong and Huang Feiyue may not be able to overturn the entire vested interest body of Lianghuai Salt Affairs.
After seeing off the three sisters of the Yin family, Jiang Xia and Zhong Bin sat down in the pavilion in the back garden.
Zhong Bin was silent and didn't speak, while Jiang Xia was also walking back and forth and frowned.
What Jiang Xia is mainly uncertain about now is who was the arrest of Yin Tianhao for whom. Just because Yin Tianhao wants to withdraw, he should not be retaliated.
Normally, it is possible that he was arrested this time was two. One is that some people in the official system that was dismissed in the Yunnan salt tax case wanted to avenge them, so they framed Yin Tianhao. The other is that some people knew about the intimate relationship between Yin Tianhao and Jiang Xia, so they led Jiang Xia out by framed Yin Tianhao.
After a while, Zhong Bin said, "People need to be saved, but you'd better not participate."
Jiang Xia thought about it and shook her head and said, "I'm afraid I can't just stop participating if I don't want to participate. This time, there are more or less hidden arrows shot at me about Mr. Yin's affairs."
"The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, the greater the responsibility, the greater the involvement. I originally wanted to be a rich man who was living a life of scattering and waiting to die, but I was forced to take one step at a time. Since that's the case, I'll just be someone you'll be afraid of when you see it." Jiang Xia said to himself, but his voice was not low. After hearing this, Zhong Bin looked up at Jiang Xia with concern.
Jiang Xia said to Zhong Bin: "Tell the three sisters of the Yin family that I am in charge of Jiang Xia's affairs this time, and I will make the decision for them."
Zhong Bin nodded, and after a while he was silent, he then said two more words: "Be careful."
Jiang Xia nodded slightly.
After sending Zhong Bin away, Jiang Xia asked Geng Zhongqiu to come to Xiaoyao Villa to see him. He asked Geng Zhongqiu to borrow the pigeons of the royal family dragon sect to send a letter to Yangzhou to see if it could be revealed whether Yin Tianhao and him were related, and let Yangzhou release Yin Tianhao first.
Geng Zhongqiu did as he did immediately.
On the other hand, Jiang Xia also showed Zhu Hou a plan that could make the ministers in the court agree to his southern tour, but this plan only took more than ten days to prepare.
During these ten days of preparation, Jiang Xia received a reply from the Royal Family Dragon Detective in the Yangzhou branch. When he opened the reply, he briefly said that the people from the Royal Family Dragon Detective went to communicate with the people from the Lianghuai Salt Course. Finally, Jiang Xia's name was revealed, but he was told, "I don't know who Jiang Xia is."
When Jiang Xia was immediately happy when he saw the reply to the news.
The people from Lianghuai Salt Administration are indeed interesting. With such a mighty and domineering reply, I am afraid that the people from Lianghuai Salt Administration in the entire Ming Dynasty would dare to do this.
In the Ming Dynasty, the common people who were probably out of the capital were not very clear about the name "Jiangxia". But in the Ming Dynasty's officialdom, who else in the Ming Dynasty did not know the great reputation of the emperor's favorite minister Jiang Xia?
The mere fact that the officials from all over Yunnan were uprooted was enough to make the entire Ming officials remember the name "Jiangxia". Now Lianghuai replied to "I don't know who Jiangxia is" which is undoubtedly a naked slap in the face, and a deliberate slap in the face.
However, this happened to be what Jiang Xia needed. The reason why he asked the royal family Long Tanfa to communicate with the Lianghuai Salt Course Department was not to let Lianghuai Salt Course see his face and let Yin Tianhao go, but to take this opportunity to see Lianghuai Salt Course's attitude.
With this attitude, Jiang Xia understood that this incident was really coming to him. Yin Tianhao was just a chess piece they pretended to get over.
Jiang Xia carefully folded the paper, then whispered to herself: "Okay, since we want to play, let's have a big time this time."
On the other side, inside the Dongchang Yamen.
Liu Jin slapped a piece of paper in his hand on the table and snorted, "Damn it!"
"Our family wants them to quietly lure Jiang Xia into the trap. Isn't they all exposed their answers?" Liu Jin frowned, and he said to himself: "Jiang Xia is not a simple person. If our family is not wrong, he is deliberately testing the people from Lianghuai Salt Class Training Department, those fools actually Jiang Xia was fooled after trying it. But now that it is already in the clear place, then do it to the end.
Jiangxia, our family wants to see if you dare to deal with the people in Lianghuai Salt Administration like they did in Yunnan. If you really do this, then our family will also write the word "suit" to you."
It was just dawn in the morning.
Jiang Xia was still lying on the bed, holding Cui Rushuang in her arms.
Cui Niannu, who had already gotten dressed and got up, shook Jiang Xia and said softly: "My husband, court clothes, toiletries, and breakfast are all ready. Get up quickly."
"Ah? Um... no, don't get up." As he said that, Jiang Xia arched his head buried between Rushuang's chests inside, and then hugged Cui Rushuang's hand tightened.
Cui Niannu's soft cry did not wake up Jiang Xia, but woke Cui Rushuang up. Cui Rushuang stretched out her jade bi and stroked Jiang Xia's long hair with a tender look. She whispered: "Honey, you are going to have morning court today, get up quickly..."
"Morning court?" Jiang Xia murmured these two words, then sat up.
He said in a daze: "That brat Zhu Houzhao, if it weren't for this young master, wouldn't it be that he got up so early? Hit him one hundred and thirty-eight times!"
While speaking, Cui Rushuang helped him sit upright, Niannu put on his shoes. While putting clothes on him, Jiang Xia touched Cui Niannu's face and kissed her little mouth in a daze.
Although Jiang Xia often does this when the three of them are together, Niannu blushed as usual again.
Under the service of Cui Rushuang and Cui Niannu, Jiang Xia finished washing up and then walked out of the room.
Shangguan Ziyue, who had just arrived at the hall and prepared breakfast, shouted: "Master, have meals here."
Before Jiang Xia could fully wake up, he walked to Shangguan Ziyue in a daze, stretched out his hands and hugged Shangguan Ziyue, muttering, "Ziyue, you have become beautiful again."
Shangguan Ziyue was stunned for a moment, and she had not come to her senses until Jiang Xia let her go. However, Jiang Xia rubbed her chest and said, "Ziyue, your chest has become bigger again, it hurts so much."
"Jiang Xia!" Cui Rushuang shouted coldly when she saw this scene.
Jiang Xia woke up immediately. He looked back at Cui Rushuang and shouted in surprise: "Oh, no, I'm going to be late for the morning court."
As Jiang Xia said, she ran out of the room and said as she ran, "I won't eat breakfast, you can eat it. Master, I'll come back immediately after the morning court."
Running out of Xiaoyao Villa, Jiang Xia was panting and said with lingering fear: "It's so dangerous. I took Ziyue's advantage and was actually seen by Rushuang. It's really a tiger's mouth to escape..."
"How come the 'tiger' escape from danger, why do these four words make me feel so appropriate?"
Outside the villa gate, Han Mufeng, who had already set up a carriage, was waiting. Jiang Xia jumped onto the carriage, and Han Mufeng took Jiang Xia to the palace without saying anything.
This is the first time Jiangxia has been to the morning court, so there are many rules that I don’t understand very well.
When they arrived at Zuoyemen, the civil servants had already started ranking, and Jiang Xia was at the last place because they arrived. After entering the Taihe Palace, Jiang Xia saw Jin Gui, the first in front of the left, and Cao Yuan, who was following Jin Gui.
These two are acquaintances. Jiang Xia ran directly from the last one to Jin Gui and greeted him with a smile: "Mr. Jin, long time no see."
Jin Gui saw that it was Jiang Xia, so he smiled slightly. Before he could speak, an old minister standing in the third position behind Cao Yuan said unhappily: "Where did you come from? If you don't understand the rules, go back and learn the rules for two years before coming. Is it unclear where you should stand?"
When Jiang Xia heard this, he felt like he was bitten by a dog when he went out. He turned to the old minister and said, "I don't understand the rules, but sir, don't you know that it's a rude thing for others to interrupt casually when they are talking?"
"The prince is bold, how dare he speak rudely in the Palace of Taihe? He is so old and young, and he is not distinguished from the superiors and inferiors. At a glance, he knows that the family education is not strict, and the family style is corrupt. It is not what kind of parents who teach such an unscrupulous rotten wood."
Jiang Xia is an abandoned baby and has never seen his parents before. He always wanted to know why his parents abandoned him, so the word "parent" is a taboo in his heart.
He can silently hate them, blame them, think about them, and miss them. But he just can't tolerate others talking about them.
Jiang Xia glanced at the old minister. If he hadn't seen him as old as he was, he would have slapped him in the face as soon as he reached out.
When Jiang Xia opened her mouth and was about to speak, she suddenly shouted: "The emperor is here..."
The civil and military officials knelt down, and the old minister was about to kneel down, but Jiang Xia picked him up and said loudly: "Sir, the emperor is here, we are still making the words clear in front of the emperor, who is right and who is wrong!"
In front of all civil and military officials, in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the emperor entered the hall without ceremonies. Instead, he should first make clear the right and wrong?
The officials were stunned when they looked at Jiang Xia and the shocked old minister. The old minister probably didn't expect Jiang Xia to be so bold. Nuonuo said hesitantly for a long time: "You...you don't want to die?"
Jiang Xia said coldly: "Yes, I hurt my father and mother. Even if I die, I will take you back."
The old minister was so scared that his face turned pale, and he accidentally messed with a madman...
