The emperor is embarrassed

In fact, everyone was quite puzzled about why Ming Zhan chose Lin Yongshang as the imperial envoy to go to Jiangnan to host the salt class.

First of all, Lin Yongshang is not a minister of the dragon (such as Fan Wei and Feng Zhi).

Secondly, Lin Yongshang and Ming Zhan don't have the relationship between master and apprentice (for example, Master Xu San Xu).

Thirdly, when Ming Zhan had not established the crown prince before, he had never seen any friendship between the two of them, that is, they seldom talked. The possibility of Lin Yongshang hooking up with Ming Zhan in advance was almost zero.

But, it was such a person who became Ming Zhan's luckiest courtier after he ascended the throne.Originally, everyone was jealous of Lin Yongshang's position as Shangshu of the Yipin Lifan Academy in his [-]th year, but unexpectedly, the jealousy came later.

Ming Zhan first promoted Lin Yongshang as the chief examiner of Enke for the first time after he ascended the throne, and then handed over the reform of the salt course related to the fate of the empire to Lin Yongshang.

The most enviable thing is the Tianzi sword used by Emperor Taizu.

If the curse worked, Lin Yongshang would have been turned into ashes by all kinds of jealous curses.

No one understood why Ming Zhan trusted Lin Yongshang so much.

While Ming Zhan was reading the memorial that Lin Yongshang had sent urgently, Ruan Hongfei took the small silver scissors and casually cut the lantern flowers, and asked the ministers with pink eyes, "You are very special to Lin Yongshang. value."

Ming Zhan smiled, "Yongshang is young."

Ruan Hongfei cut down the scissors, and the candle flame jumped and jumped, and suddenly became much brighter.

Ming Zhan has this not-so-substantial problem, but he seldom sells lawsuits in front of Ruan Hongfei, and said with a smile, "Young, physical strength is good. And, look at Yongshang, at such a young age, there is no power in the family, but You can climb to the first-rank position. Although there is such a teacher as Jiaojiao Li, it is impossible for Jiaojiao Li to promote him as if he were his son. From this, it can be seen that Lin Yongshang is a rare smart person."

"Besides, the people he offended when he was a censor went to sea, but after all these years, all the people who plotted against him have died, but Lin Yongshang has been promoted step by step safely." Ruan Hongfei cut the candle flowers again and again, and in the room The candle shadow danced and danced, Ming Zhan's eyes were sour, and he simply closed the memorial and said, "Here, you must have both strength and luck."

"The scale of the restructuring of Huaiyang is not comparable to the two provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou. At the beginning, I took Fan Wei and Feng Zhi to work on the restructuring of the salt department in Yunnan and Guizhou, and I was exhausted." Ming Zhan showed a fox-like smile, "The workload is huge and the pressure is huge. It coexists with opportunities. Naturally, I want to find someone who is young, physically strong, able to work, smart, capable, and lucky. The chance of success is the highest.”

"Of course, there is one more thing." Ming Zhan said, "From the first rank, first rank, among these court officials, Lin Yongshang is the youngest, which shows that this person has unlimited potential. He is very suitable for me, and I also want to use him. However, There is one thing that I am always worried about, and the queen mother also reminded me that this person has no father or mother, both parents died, only a nephew like Shen Zhuoyan."

"Unknown origin is a big taboo." Ming Zhan said with a serious face, "I sent someone to check his details, and all his relatives were dead, and nothing could be found out. Just take this opportunity to find out about him."

Ruan Hongfei couldn't comprehend what Ming Zhan was doing, and asked, "Did you just send out Taizu's Son of Heaven sword at the same time as you probed into him?"

"What do you mean by giving away, I just borrow it for his use." Ming Zhan glanced sideways at Ruan Hongfei, "I still don't think Yongshang looks like a bad guy."

Ruan Hongfei sarcastically said, "That's right, the bad guys have words written on their faces, you can tell it at a glance."

"Where, of course I'm still prepared." Ming Zhan threw himself forward, instead of throwing Ruan Hongfei down, he was embraced by someone instead, feeling ashamed, and said, "Hurry up and lie on the bed, I'll tell you how to like it."

Ruan Hongfei embraced Ming Zhan with one hand, and cut off the candle wick at hand with the other.He hugged Ming Zhan with both hands, pressed him on the bed, and was about to kiss him, Ming Zhan suddenly squeezed Ruan Hongfei's mouth, and gave a wicked smile, "Feifei, can we discuss it?"

"Except for up and down, everything else is negotiable." Ruan Hongfei had already seen through Ming Zhan's measurement.

"I'm not saying that I want to regret the contract. Anyway, I agreed to you and have been here for three years, and there are still two and a half years left." Ming Zhan first put on a face of a sincere person who would never break the contract, and begged, "I mean , Can you advance one day of the days I should be at the top two and a half years from now?"

Ruan Hongfei almost laughed, and asked with a smile, "What is this called, and there is an advance payment?"

"Of course, you just keep the accounts. Feifei, just let me go, I really want to be on top..." Ming Zhan acted like a spoiled brazen, hugged Ruan Hongfei's face and kissed him several times.

Ruan Hongfei nodded slightly, "It's not impossible."

Ming Zhan jumped up and rode on Ruan Hongfei like a pervert, and shouted, "Don't go back on your word!"

Ruan Hongfei pressed Ming Zhan's movements, and said with a smile, "You can advance one day, but you can't do it today. On your birthday next year, I will advance you one day, which is considered a birthday gift."

Ming Zhan yelled angrily, "Forget it if you know how to do it, woo..."

Gagged, stripped, watched, eaten.

Compared with Ming Zhan's awkward, painful and sweet life, Lin Yongshang is completely in dire straits, and he can't stand the enthusiasm of the Huaiyang officialdom like the scorching sun in June.

Since he arrived in Huaiyang and saw the wealth of Huaiyang salt merchants, he received a warm welcome. Everywhere he went, there must be a banquet, and every banquet must have singing and dancing;

This time, the ones who came out this time, except for those old men who are busy with the official affairs, are all young people who are clean.

Lin Yongshang, who was the leader, was only in his thirties, and Hou An Ding held on to Lin Yongshang's hand, and smiled at the famous prostitute who accompanied him, "My lord Lin, look, there is a talent like this. I'm not bragging, even the emperor can't find it." Second, as for Master Lin, there is another advantage, there is no wife or concubine in the family. You just use your means, if Master Lin kisses Fang Ze, you will have a lot of benefits."

Xiaoxiao pouted her small cherry mouth, wrinkled the tip of her lovely nose, rolled her lovely big white eyes, and blamed all the way, "Look at what Master Hou said, it seems that slaves only recognize identities and only money. Nubuyi , Could it be that Nu can't love Lord Lin's character and talent?"

Xue Chunhong, governor of Huaiyang, said with a smile, "It's not only Mr. Lin who has good character and talent here, Mr. Fan and Mr. Feng are also a little celebrity in front of the imperial court, an upstart in the court."

In the Huaiyang officialdom, these famous prostitutes are not counted after drinking with them, and they have to send the adults to bed.

Lin Yongshang smiled, "Don't dare, there are lessons learned from the saints, and it can be seen that women are misleading people."

Fan Weiji admired Lord Lin's poisonous tongue, which was comparable to a peacock's courage and redness. Xue Chunhong and An Yonghou, the magistrate of Yangzhou, were both incomparably embarrassed, so it was Fan Wei who smoothed things over, "It's late at night, and the girls are tired, let them go back and rest. Go ahead. If the emperor knows that I am only interested in beauty when I come out this time, I am afraid that I will be unhappy."

Xue Chunhong hurriedly laughed, "Isn't it? Seeing a few angels descending, I was just happy. It was Mr. Fan who was on the imperial errand and reminded me."

Feng Zhi said, "That's right. It's time to start working on the salt class."

Lin Yongshang interjected, "If Master Xue, Master Zheng, and Li Zhifu have no objections, we will fight at the Governor's Mansion tomorrow." The matter was settled.

"Listen to Master Lin."

Everyone bid farewell and left.

Now Jiangnan is also popular, and everyone is proud of reading pirated royal newspapers.

When An Ding Hou came home in the middle of the night, he saw his wife was holding a stack of ink paper and facing the butter wax, laughing, and said with a smile, "There is a new one." Especially women love it the most.

Princess An Yue put down the royal newspapers and called the maid to help her husband wash up.Smelling the smell of greasy powder on her husband's body, she said angrily, "Let's go to that dirty place again."

"My wife, it's just for entertainment. The new imperial envoy, good guy, came with the emperor's sword, who dares to neglect him." Anding Hou asked with a smile, "How about the lawsuit of Uncle Nanfeng's family?"

Princess An Yue laughed, "The eldest son of the Lu family was sentenced to 20 years in prison and exiled for three thousand miles. He was not allowed to return to the imperial capital without pardon. Nanfeng uncle's mansion was fined 10 taels of silver to Miss Wu as compensation."

An Dinghou sighed, "Your Majesty is wise. After all, Miss Wu's life is safe. If she imitates Zhao Xi's case, the sentence will be too severe."

Princess An Yue said, "This Miss Wu is really a powerful person."

"If you're not powerful, you can't sue the imperial court." Marquis Anding changed his underwear, washed his hands and feet, and said, "There is such a fierce girl in the Wu family, I think Wu Jing is going to have a headache."

Princess An Yue said, "What's the matter with Wu Jing? Wu Jing is just the patriarch. Although this girl's parents are dead, she has uncles and aunts. It's not the patriarch's turn to take care of her."

The couple gossip once, and they rest together without mentioning it.

As An Dinghou expected, the Wu family was really blown up.

Wu Jingnai is the head of the clan, and one of the largest salt merchants in Yangzhou.

Originally, Wu Wan was just a collateral branch of the Wu family, doing some business by the side of the big tree, and some members of the family's saltworks were passed down from their ancestors.Wu Wan's branch is far away from the direct branch, occupying only a star and a half at the other end of the salt field.

Ever since Wu Wan's lawsuit with the Lu family was reported in the newspaper, Wu Jing had a terrible headache, so he called Wu Wan's uncle Wu Zhen to teach him a few words, and ordered him to go to the imperial capital to settle Wu Wan.Since ancient times, the people did not fight with the officials, although the Wu family is quite wealthy, but it is the imperial capital Nanfeng Bofu after all, which of the two son-in-laws in the clan is easy to provoke.Although Wu Jing also thinks that Wu Wan is pitiful, in terms of the balance of interests, a Wu Wan naturally cannot be compared with the importance of Nanfeng Bofu.

According to Wu Jing, if Uncle Nanfeng's mansion is willing to marry Wu Wan, that would be the best result.After all, Wu Wan has lost her innocence, and she has flesh and blood of the Lu family in her belly, so it is also a blessing to be able to enter the uncle's mansion as a straight-faced first wife.

Or there may be short-term twists and turns. After all, mothers are more expensive than children, so I am not afraid that there will be no future.

Who would have expected such an ending.

Wu Wan definitely risked her life.

This matter is not trivial, and Wu Jing sent people to pay close attention to it in the imperial capital.As for Wu Wan's wrist, Wu Jing had a headache, but at the same time he admired it greatly.A female stream, who has such a means and knowledge, does not let men.

Wu Jing's news is faster and more accurate than the outdated royal newspapers. Ever since he learned that Wu Wan had been favored by the Empress Dowager, ended her business in the imperial capital, was appointed as a fifth-rank female official, and formally took care of Shanren Hall, Wu Jing Already keenly feel:

His strategy towards Wu Wan needs to be changed.
