Chapter 231 First meeting Yang Tinghe
The best way to get closer to someone is to exchange secrets with the other person.
Zhu Houzhao told Jiang Xia unreservedly about the mystery of his life experience, and this trust moved Jiang Xia very much.
Jiang Xia did not hide it from Zhu Houzhao, and directly explained to him the purpose of taking him to Yangzhou in advance. Zhu Houzhao said that he had guessed this purpose in the morning, and at the same time, he also said, "I have this intention with you."
The meaning of this is that Zhu Houzhao also has this meaning when he comes to Yangzhou.
Jiang Xia suddenly remembered that this time Zhu Houzhao approved 1.5 million taels of money for the construction of the Yellow River. Because he seemed to have given Jiang Bin a large sum of money to build the Zhenguo Mansion in Xuanfu. In addition, Yang Yiqing also had to pay a lot of money for Ganzhou and Shaanxi city defense.
Jiang Xia probably spent money everywhere, so the little money he just got from Yunnan should have spent a lot of money.
No wonder Zhu Houzhao wanted to go to the south. It seems that he really tasted the sweetness and put his ideas on the Lianghuai Salt Administration again.
Everyone thought that Zhu Houzhao was traveling in the south because of playing tricks, but who knew that his hidden sword peak was actually pointed to the Lianghuai Salt Administration.
The ship entered Jiangsu. In the last two days, Gui San Injection did not apply another acupuncture to Zhu Houzhao, because Gui San Injection had transferred all the toxins from the eight extraordinary meridians in Zhu Houzhao's body to the Dantian. He only needed to return to the capital to find the King of Herbs. He could use it to remove the toxins in Zhu Houzhao's body.
Seeing that Zhu Houzhao's complexion was getting better and better during this period, Jiang Xia was also happy for him. And there was another thing that made Jiang Xia even more confused or happy for Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao fell in love with Li Feng.
That night, Zhu Houzhao, who was sleeping in the same room as Jiang Xia, woke him up. Jiang Xia opened his eyes and woke up in a daze, and then asked him what was wrong.
Zhu Houzhao asked Jiang Xia very seriously: "Brother, I think I'm sick."
"Ah? You know everything?" Jiang Xia was shocked.
Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, "I've always been empty these days. I seem to have lost something, but I don't know what I have lost. And when I see Feng'er, I'm very happy and always want to make her laugh. Once I don't see her, I feel uncomfortable. What kind of disease do you think I have?"
Jiang Xia rolled her eyes as soon as she heard this. The poor child actually fell in love with Li Feng and even said "Feng'er" and "Feng'er".
Jiang Xia smiled slightly and said, "Follow me and don't go around in circles. Just tell me what you want me to do."
"Hehe" Zhu Houzhao smiled immediately, not ashamed of being exposed by Jiang Xia at all because of her performance. "Brother, you are really my good brother. I know I can't hide anything from you. I think I want to bring Feng'er back to the capital and marry her."
"No problem, you are the emperor, isn't it just a matter of one word?" Jiang Xia said.
Zhu Houzhao shook her head and said, "No, I can't tell her that I am the emperor."
"Why?" Jiang Xia couldn't understand immediately.
Zhu Houzhao looked melancholy: "It's really the past because of today's consequences. Feng'er's father turned out to be Li Qingran. In the 11th year of Hongzhi, Li Qingran, who was then the Minister of Rites of Nanjing, was implicated because of a literary inquisition. Li Qingran was confiscated and beheaded. The male in the family was exiled to the frontier, and the woman was converted to the music family. Feng'er was one of the female members of the Li family who was converted to the music family. She hated our royal family to the core, and if she told her my identity."
"Damn, this is too tortuous, so what are you going to do now? You can't hide it from others for the rest of your life, right?" Jiang Xia asked.
"Anyway, I definitely can't tell her the truth now. I want you to spend money to redeem her from Aunt Qin and bring her back to the capital."
"Well, this method is good. But I don't have any money." Jiang Xia spread his hands.
Zhu Houzhao narrowed her eyes into a slit and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I've thought of a solution for silver."
Jiang Xia looked at Zhu Houzhao with a questioning look on her face.
Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "This time I have three purposes: one is to visit Jiangnan, one is to visit the south, two is to check the salt administration of Lianghuai, and three is to invite a cabinet chief to go back."
"Caremonial Chief? Who?" Jiang Xia suddenly thought of someone, and he said, "Yang Tinghe?"
"That's right. Because Mr. Yang had a bit of a holiday with Liu Jin before, I temporarily placed him in Nanjing as the Minister of Revenue. This time I came to ask him to return to Beijing to re-lead the cabinet."
When talking about Yang Tinghe and Liu Jin having a fuss, Zhu Houzhao turned the subject and said, "Brother, actually, I know you and Liu Jin are a little unhappy recently. However, Liu Jin has his role, and I don't want to touch him yet. When the time comes, I will settle everything with him."
After hearing this, Jiang Xia nodded and said nothing.
He is not Zhu Houzhao, so he naturally doesn't understand Zhu Houzhao's idea. As Zhu Houzhao said, Jiang Xia also understood that he had been in the court too short and had not yet understood many official rules.
"Aunt Qin and the others will stay for ten days after they arrive in Nanjing. At that time, I will write you a book of imperial edicts and then give you a gold medal to go to Yangzhou to take the lead. And I will stay in the Nanjing Palace. As long as you find anything, I will immediately send someone to Nanjing to find Yang Ge Lao. He has been in Nanjing for so long and I believe he can help."
It turned out that Zhu Houzhao had already planned everything, and Jiang Xia nodded after hearing this.
The next morning, Jiang Xia found Aunt Qin.
Aunt Qin is a very beautiful mature woman, but I think so, if she is not beautiful, how could she be so obsessed with her?
It is said that Aunt Qin was originally the wife of Gui Sanjian, but his friend had passed away, so Gui Sanjian was the one who made a good friend.
Another bloody story, Jiang Xia said in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he explained clearly to Aunt Qin about his desire to redeem Li Feng for Zhu Houzhao.
After hearing this, Aunt Qin said that as long as Li Feng was willing to be with Zhu Shou (the pseudonym of Zhu Houzhao), she did not object and only had to pay 500 taels of original price for Li Feng.
This is definitely a fair price, so Jiang Xia also thanked Aunt Qin repeatedly.
When they arrived in Nanjing, Jiang Xia and Zhu Houzhao said goodbye first, and they came to the Yang Mansion in Nanjing together.
I believe many people know that the capital was established when the Ming Dynasty was just established. Later, after moving to Beijing, Nanjing was preserved as a "remaining capital".
Nanjing still has five prefectures, six ministries, and other palace teams. However, ministers sent to Nanjing to serve are basically forced to retreat to the second line, which is idle.
Because the affairs in Liudu were led by the eunuchs in Nanjing, the honorary ministers in Nanjing, and the governor of the Nanjing Central Army, and the meeting of the Censorate of the Five Prefectures and Six Ministry of Nanjing was organized to decide.
However, Nanzhili is not under the jurisdiction of Nanjing, and is divided into governor Yingtian (station in Suzhou) and governor Fengyang. Although the minister of Nanjing Liudu has high rank, he usually has nothing to do.
While talking, Jiang Xia and Zhu Houzhao had already arrived at the gate of Yang's mansion.
Seeing this Yang Mansion, Jiang Xia was shocked
