Xiangshan County, Haidao Yamen.

The ambassador Wang Qingfeng paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, and the hanging needle patterns between his eyebrows were clearly visible.

Even though he was deeply frowning, he had to praise him. The sea ambassador had a very good face, his face was covered with powder, his eyebrows were as green as green, his nose was like jade pillars, and his lips were covered with beards, adding three points of majesty.

He was a Jinshi in the 17th year of Jiajing. Because of his [Beautiful Gentlety], he almost became Xia Yan's son-in-law to ride the dragon.

At that time, Xia Yan was powerful and even wrote a statement for himself, adding the [Shangzhu Kingdom]. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, no ministers have been appointed as Shangzhu Kingdom, which shows Xia Yan's power.

As someone who Xia Yan valued, Wang Qingfeng's career was smooth sailing. After being full of his position as a judge in Dali Temple, he was immediately promoted to the position of Guanglu Temple Chief, and then he was sent to the Guangdong Censor and the Ambassador of the Sea.

Originally, as a fourth-rank Taoist, Wang Qingfeng would definitely be promoted in two years. Not to mention anything else, he was sure of the provincial governor.

However, now his backstage boss, the chief assistant of the cabinet, has fallen.

In fact, Jiajing did not intend to kill Xia Yan at first, but Yan Song was afraid that Xia Yan would revive, so he colluded with Qiu Luan and Lu Bing to frame Zeng Zizhong, the general manager of the trilateral, and put Zeng Zizhong in prison. Then Qiu Luan asked Zeng Zizhong to impeach Zeng Zizhong to bribe Xia Yan. Jiajing asked Lu Bing to investigate thoroughly. What was the result of the thorough investigation of the Jinyiwei? It was true.

They are all ministers whom they trust? The three of them said in unison that the other one was a traitor... It was another to say whether it was traitor or not, but? Xia Yan's domineeringness? Jiajing saw it in his eyes, for example, if he didn't say hello to the emperor, he would get a sedan chair in and out of the imperial city? And for example, to eliminate dissidents.

Zeng Zizhong, the three-sided general system, was really implicated by Xia Yan? Therefore? Although his death was [all the world was wronged], no one dared to express his opinion, and his wife and children were exiled? No one dared to send him off.

It is precisely because Zeng Zi is the most important thing? Wang Qingfeng was so scared.

He was eager and eager to jump out of Xia Yan, the stolen bad ship, and wanted to jump into the crotch of Yan Song, the current chief minister of the cabinet...

Anyway, everyone is from Jiangxi.

At this time, his staff advised him, saying, "Ge Lao Yan's son is good for wealth, Dongweng?" Let's bribe...

Wang Qingfeng is naturally willing, but? Although he collects money and food, he has to respect Xia Yan every year? His bag is really not rich. If he wants to bribe the young master, he is afraid that he will not look down on him and flatter him, but it is not beautiful.

The staff said, "It's simple!" Just take it from the bag."

As the ambassador of the sea route, Wang Qingfeng's money bag is naturally the Yi merchant in Haojingao.

However, Wang Qingfeng was shameless again and said, "Pinto, the leader of the Haojing Aoyi, has always respected me, how can I speak up?"

The staff member was jealous, Dongweng, you are not, you are both a cousin and a archway?

Of course, the staff must not say that. He pondered for a moment and said, Dongweng, we are like this, this, this.

Wang Qingfeng was overjoyed, yes, Zhou Ruzhi, Xiangshan County is a fool, why not use him to make this knife? At that time, the barbarians come to ask me for help, and I pretend to be a dilemma. The barbarians will have to bribe me with bribes...

He judged others by himself, and felt that although the magistrate of Zhou County was suppressed by himself and the Maritime Bureau, he was still a Jinshi, so he would definitely take the yamen runners to Haojingao and scold the barbarians. At that time, the barbarians would come to beg and he would do his best.

But, ideas are one thing, but whether they succeed is another.

This time, the magistrate Zhou was weak and dared not accept it. He ran to Guangzhou Prefecture to find the magistrate.

He was so angry that he really wanted to run to grab the other party and ask questions. My mother said, "You are a great Jinshi and a magistrate of Xiangshan. You don't even dare to deal with the barbarians." It's really a shame for us scholars."

But he didn't think about it. He was a fourth-rank magistrate, stationed on the territory of the seventh-rank magistrate, and was arrogant all day long, making him so hard that he didn't dare to raise his head. Now he scolded him for being timid.

This situation has caused him a headache for a moment.

While he was walking back and forth, a door came in outside and said that it was a patrol eunuch who sent someone to invite him, and said that he was preparing a banquet to invite him to drink.

When Wang Qingfeng heard this, he thought to himself that the little eunuch of the Maritime Bureau would ask me for wine?

At that moment, he called his aide and asked, "The eunuch of the Maritime Bureau invited me to drink." Why do you think this is the case?"

He slaps a little eunuch at once, because in the early years of Jiajing, the Maritime Bureau was dismissed. At that time, Jiajing had just become the emperor. Although Zhang Cong and Gui E were dependent on him, they would never lick him.

These two are scholars, and scholars depend on the emperor, so they naturally want to make their own efforts to show their ambitions.

The so-called saint emperor ruled with his pride. What is the meaning of pride? Isn’t it just being an idol? You are pretending to be on it, and we have the final say in the world.

Therefore, during the Jiajing period, the eunuchs and the Jinyiwei were suppressed greatly, and the power of the factory guards was really withered.

For example, the Guangdong Maritime Bureau, [the Maritime Bureau was removed from the Zhongguan, and the ship arrived at Australia, and sent the prefectures and officials to collect goods from various prefectures and counties to collect goods] After being dismissed, they were attached to the prefectures and counties and were jointly managed by the sea and prefectures.

When Jiajing later realized that it was too late. In other words, although the eunuch of the Maritime Vessel was a fourth rank, in fact, the power was very small. If an eunuch dared to act recklessly, in theory, the civil servant could shout that the Maritime Vessel was under the jurisdiction of prefectures and counties and sea routes. This was the law of the ancestors.

As for the ancestors' laws that have been promulgated less than twenty years ago, the civil servants ignored it. They can be said that it has existed since ancient times.

Of course, it is one thing in theory. In reality, there are not many civil servants who dare to confront eunuchs. After all, the Silijian is not a decoration, so the power of [Piehong] is not a joke.

Zhu Zhenxian is only in his twenties. In Wang Qingfeng's eyes, he is lucky enough to be a child of [castration and egg sucking]. In addition, the Maritime Bureau is theoretically under his jurisdiction, so he privately called him a little eunuch.

The staff member pondered and said, "The eunuch in the market is restrained and never ruined Dongwen's affairs. Now I'm treating Dongwen to drink. I'm afraid I'm not going to see Dongwen's intention? Want to go from the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

When Wang Qingfeng heard this, he couldn't help but sneer, "I'm lucky to be a child, I dare to beat Master Qiufeng, who gave him the courage?"

The staff advised him, "Dongweng, I heard that the godfather of this eunuch in the market is Huang Jin, the eunuch of the Silijian. Dongweng will enter the cabinet to participate in the maintenance service in the future, so he must have to deal with the Silijian. If he has a good relationship with Huang Jin, it is not a bad thing..."

After saying this, Wang Qingfeng was immediately overjoyed. In fact, he knew very well that he was not from a Hanlin Academy, so how could he enter the cabinet?

But who doesn't like to listen to these words?

It’s right to think about it, why offend eunuchs? Such people are not enough to succeed and do anything...

He touched the beard on his upper lip and said lightly: "Well, I'll save the child's face, lord."

"Dongweng." The staff member quickly continued: "Take this opportunity, you can instigate the eunuchs of the market to come forward and blackmail the Yi merchants. At that time, the Yi merchants will come to cry and complain, and Dongweng is just right."

When Wang Qingfeng heard this, he was right. Since Zhou Ruzhi didn't dare to ask the little eunuch to come forward, it was not bad.

He immediately changed into casual clothes, took a sedan chair, and went to the Maritime Warehouse Office.

When he arrived at the Maritime Office, Wang Qingfeng had just fallen into the sedan chair and heard the bamboo inside. He could not help but touch Hu Yu's mouth and said to himself that this little eunuch had put in his efforts.

Just as he was thinking, Zhu Zhenxian came in a hurry wearing the eunuchs' work clothes, that is, the python robe, "Mr. Wang, we have been staying at home for a long time, please please..." As he said that, he reached out and pulled him into it.

Wang Qingfeng looked at the python robe on Zhu Zhenxian almost hungry. At this time, it was normal for eunuchs to wear pythons, and some ministers and others were wearing it. It was no longer a matter of overbearing. The emperor usually turned a blind eye to the point of seeing it.

Despite this, Wang Qingfeng, a fourth-grade Daoyuan, dared not make any taboos.

He said, "You are polite to eunuch." At this time, he would never call him a little eunuch, so he followed Zhu Zhenxian into it.

Although Guangdong is in the south, it has already begun to winter. In addition, the weather has not been normal these years. There were still snow in Guangdong and Guangxi in June two years ago, so the charcoal basin was burned and a warm curtain was installed at the door.

When Wang Qingfeng lifted the warm curtain and went in, he was about to speak, but when he looked up, he saw that it was magnificent inside, with a young man with a python sitting on the table with a grinding pattern in it, smiling at him.

He looked closely and found that it was no right, it was not a python, but a flying fish. He immediately felt a little shocked in his heart and subconsciously struggled. However, he didn't expect that Eunuch Zhu was holding him tightly with his hands, and said, "Sir Wang, hurry up, please take your seat."

Wang Qingfeng looked at the flying fish in brocade clothes sitting on the top, why wasn’t he afraid?

Although the factory guards of the Jiajing Dynasty were ruthless, they were compared with the Zhengde Dynasty of Wuzong. Thinking of the eunuch Liu Jin of the Zhengde Dynasty, he dared to imprison more than 200 officials in one breath for corruption.

No matter how the factory guards of the Jiajing Dynasty withered, the establishment is still there. Who was the master Xia Yan who was captured back to the capital? He was the Jinyiwei!

Therefore, when Wang Qingfeng saw the flying fish in brocade clothes, he slammed a little, his hair stood up, and he turned around and wanted to leave, but Zhu Zhenxian pulled him tightly. He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He shouted loudly, help, help, kill the official and rebel!

It doesn't matter if he shouted, and he scared the musicians who played the pipa and the musicians who played the piano so much that they couldn't play it.

Shang Shoukang Fei smiled with his teeth, his mouth was covered with snow-white teeth, and he got up and walked down, reached out and pressed his hand on Wang Qingfeng's shoulder, which scared Wang Qingfeng to tremble.

"Ambassador Wang..." Kang Fei looked happy and reached out and pressed Wang Qingfeng on the brocade stool and sat down. Then he waved to the music girls, "Continue to play music and continue dancing."

The musicians continued to play a silk and bamboo tremblingly, and one of them sang while shaking his waist, but he was a little stuttering.

Kang Fei saw that Wang Qingfeng's face looked like earth, and he felt that this guy looked really good, but his courage was like a rat.

But he didn't know that Wang Qingfeng thought he had done something.

Mr. Xia was captured by the Jinyiwei and then killed. He was Wang Qingfeng, the well-known man from Mr. Xia, now Mr. Jinyiwei has come to the door. Isn’t he arrested him or something?

When he thought of this, he burst into tears and slipped softly from the brocade stool to the ground. "The lower official, although the lower official has plundered some money, it is really the one who plundered Xia Yanxia Pavilion Master, the lower official, the lower official..."

When Kang Fei heard this, he said, "Damn it, you are too brave!"

Thinking of this, his mind changed, and his original idea changed immediately. He immediately sank his face, "Ambassador Wang, you said you were all plundering Mr. Xia, but before he died, he didn't say that... He said you..."

He spoke slowly, trying to deceive Wang Qingfeng.

At this time, Wang Qingfeng saved his life and shouted, "The officials are willing to take out all the money they receive from the officials to be the court's convention..."

When he shouted, Kang Fei was stunned.

Now he is not a novice in the officialdom. After all, his old brother Tang Jingchuan is a great master of his generation. Even though he privately paid homage to the prince when Jiajing was seriously ill, he was reckless. However, he had been at home for many years and had been in constant contact with famous scholars in the court and the country, and he was like a national senator.

How could he not tell Kang Fei about these things? Although Kang Fei was not interested, he still knew a lot about them.

This so-called court practice is a big deal. As long as you have this name, you will gather a group of censors to the clerks and shout that the ancestors have made the law, and you can use this as an introduction to commercial taxation.

Look, in a certain year of Jiajing, Guangdong's Haidao Ambassador Wang Qingfeng was paid 100 points in Haojingao. Now he has accumulated tens of thousands of taels to serve the court. The emperor sympathizes with the court officials and wants to send it to Bing Jingtan. Since you don't want it, otherwise, let's forget it!
