Chapter eight hundred and three blame others
Zhao Lujiao thought to himself that as Helianba expected, the Western Regions merchants would not suffer any losses in any matter. Let’s hear how wonderful his following is. “We are good friends now. If we have any conditions, as long as we can do it, we will agree to it.”
Helianba raised his head and smiled, "The Emperor's father, the Regent, is the master of the Ming Dynasty. If there is anything, just say it. As long as the Emperor's father, the Regent, is happy, nothing can be done. Even if you offend the Empress Dowager, the Emperor's father, the Regent, can save you from danger."
Ye Shahu's eyes widened and laughed: "It's great, it's okay. I finally found a way. These days have made me worried. A few days ago, I had a transaction with Zhongyuan and planned to transport a batch of salt to the Western Regions for sale. But I didn't expect that I was detained by your Jiangsu and Zhejiang Governor in the south of the Yangtze River, and I was also forbidden to go to Zhongyuan to do business in the future. It was a big business, almost half of my property was spent. I sent someone there to handle some things, but there was no news. If the emperor's father and the regent could help me, I would repay it with all my strength."
Zhao Rujiao and Helianba exchanged glances and thought to himself that it was a business of selling private salt. This was a major case where the court explicitly prohibited the raid of houses and family slaughter. No wonder the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang did not dare to let it go. Even if he had the courage to cheat and favour his personal pockets.
Zhao Rujiao said, "This matter is easy to deal with!" Ye Shahu said, "Is it really easy to deal with? But I have asked a lot of relationships, but there is no news at all!" Zhao Rujiao said, "That's because the relationships you take are all small people and cannot make decisions. Tell you the truth. No one can help you in this matter except the emperor's father and the regent. But, haha, before the emperor's father and regent help you resolve this crisis, you must first make an alliance for us."
Ye Shahu is a shrewd businessman and will never do risky business. He immediately shook his head: "It's not good, it's best if the emperor's father and the regent help me solve the danger first. I will naturally help you all achieve your wishes. In this way, we don't have to worry either side, what do you think."
Helianba laughed and said, "Old friend, it's indeed a smart businessman. Well, we'll relieve you of the danger first, and then help us. I'll send a letter back to the prince. I believe that good news will come in at most three or five days. But you'd better not be idle in these three or five days, so as not to miss our big business. Your business will be taken care of by the emperor's father and the regent in the future."
"Then I'm thankful for all the sirs!" Ye Shahu hurriedly left his actions and saluted all the guests.
At night, Ye Shahu left all the Chinese envoys in his mansion, and each gave three charming Persian dancers to let them play with them. They did not say goodbye until dawn. That night, Zhao Rujiao had sent a letter from flying pigeons and headed straight to the Hexi Corridor. Yi Tusheng has now led a large army to Lanzhou Yitian and Qin Liangyu's turn.
After receiving the letter from Zhao Rujiao Fei Ge, Yi Tusheng immediately felt that this matter was a bit tricky, because he had received the memorial a long time ago. A few days ago, the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Hu Kai, intercepted a batch of private salt that he wanted to transport to the Western Regions, and the total value reached 300,000 taels of gold, which was an answer that shocked the whole country. Now the court in the Peking Province also knew about this matter. The Empress Dowager had ordered a thorough investigation and investigated it to the end.
Originally, Yi Tusheng could have ordered Hu Kai to release him regardless of anyone's order, but he had to consider his reputation. At present, this matter is well known throughout the country. If the people were to release him like this, what would the people think that this batch of private salt was his Yi Tusheng's business? If he jumped into the Yellow River at that time, he would not be able to wash it out, and things in the future would probably be difficult to deal with.
However, according to Zhao Lujiao's statement in his letter, if he did not do that, the peace talks with Turpan would be completely failed, the great cause of pacifying the Seven Guards of Kansai and India would not be completed smoothly, and the Ming Dynasty would also face the border problems. Which of these two things is more important?
Yi Tusheng had no choice but to discuss with Qin Liangyu. Although Qin Liangyu is a female, she has always been resourceful. After hearing the whole story, her eyes suddenly lit up and said, "I have an idea to clean you up, but I just want to avenge the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang." Yi Tusheng sneered: "Hu Kai, the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, is not a good person. I impeach him for corruption and abuse of power and neglecting the people to make money crazy. It's really a matter of death." Qin Liangyu covered his mouth and smiled, "That would be better."
Yi Tusheng asked, "What idea did you think of? Why don't you tell me quickly!" Qin Liangyu looked at his eyes and laughed, "I won't tell you. If you promise to accompany me tonight, I will tell you, hum." Seeing Qin Liangyu's coquettishness, Yi Tusheng also became interested, hugged her waist and trembled on her forehead. Qin Liangyu ran away with a sound, rubbing his forehead and stamping his feet beside him, "Hello, you actually hit me, I won't tell you again." Yi Tusheng hurriedly hugged her from behind and said, "Do you want to say it? If you don't say it, believe it or not, I will hit you!"
Qin Liangyu seemed to be beaten by the pirate just now and was afraid of being beaten by Baoli, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "No, no, I'm saying, my idea is, you send someone to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to take your secret decree and give it to Hu Kai for him to let him go. When he saw your decree, he would not have time to curry favor with you. Of course, he would not dare to disobey any. Once he put the pirate ship, you should immediately repent, send someone to kill him on the spot, and then falsely accused her of accusing her of having an affair with the thief party and push everything on him, and ask someone to find the secret decree and burn it. In this way, no one would doubt you. Even if there is any doubt, there would be no evidence."
"This move is ruthless. Although it is not the best strategy, it can still be used. Well, as you said, I will send someone to Jiangsu and Zhejiang immediately. I need to take pictures of two masters, otherwise I will be afraid that I will not do it clean. If someone comes, I will immediately let Mu Tiannan and Master Minghuo, Mr. Gao, come to see me." Yi Tusheng shouted outside.
After the three of them came in, Yi Tusheng told them the matter and said, "This matter must be done neatly and neatly, don't leave any clues. In addition, time is tight, you must go and return quickly. Turpan is still waiting for our news."
Without any doubt, the three of them set off overnight with Yi Tusheng's secret letter and headed straight for Jiangsu and Zhejiang on horseback. About five days later, they arrived in Jinling and met the new governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Hu Kai.
When Hu Kai heard that the imperial envoy who was the regent of the emperor came, he dared not be negligent when he came, so he immediately took people out of the city to greet him. After coming to the Governor's Office, Gao Lao's representative Yi Tusheng read out the secret order, and then sat quietly waiting for Hu Kai's reply. Hu Kai was indeed in a dilemma at the beginning. On the one hand, the Empress Dowager ordered that the case be thoroughly investigated. On the other hand, the regent of the emperor asked him to release it as soon as possible. Both of them were great Bodhisattvas and he could not afford to offend him. What should I do? He was originally a corrupt official, but only knew how to cater to the above, and had no principles at all. Now he was a little stupid.
Seeing his expression, Mr. Gao slapped his desk and said sternly: "Mr. Hu, do you want to disobey the will of the Emperor's father, the Regent? Do you know what consequences and consequences will be like that? The Emperor's father, the Regent, takes charge of the government affairs with one hand, and his secret decree is equivalent to an imperial decree. What else do you have to hesitate about?!"
Hu Kai said hesitantly: "It's not like this. It's not that I'm hesitating. It's just that the Empress Dowager seems to have other plans. The imperial court had ordered me to step up the investigation of this case and to investigate it thoroughly. Now the emperor's father and the Regent asked me to release him. Who should I listen to?!"
"Bastard!" Gao said sternly: "The emperor's father, the regent, is the decision-maker of the current court. The empress dowager is just a temporary regent in his absence. The emperor's father, the regent's decree is like the decree of the current saint. As the governor of the court, don't you know who to listen to?"
Master Minghuo smiled sinisterly and said, "Mr. Hu, have you not seen the fate of King Chu, King Huainan and King Fu? Do you think you are more noble than the sons of the late emperors of these royal relatives? They were all searched for the family because they refused to obey the orders of the regent of the emperor, haha."
This was very important, and Hu Kai suddenly shook his whole body and his mind suddenly became clear: "Yes, yes, yes, I listen to the emperor's father's Regent, I listen to his old man's family, I will order it to let it go, and let it go as soon as possible."
Within one day, Hu Kai ordered his subordinates to release all the private salts and conveyed the will of the emperor's father and the regent, so that all the officials along the way would not have to check and pass the customs directly. Then he came back and replied to Mr. Gao: "Report to the imperial envoy, Xiaguan has done everything."
"Thank you hard!" Old Gao picked up a cup of tea and handed it to him.
Hu Kai was not wary at all. He drank it all, and in a short while he fell to the ground and died. Mu Tiannan took back his superstition from him and then sprinkled the body with corpse powder. Suddenly, Hu Kai turned into a pool of pus and blood and disappeared. The three of them cleaned the place and left rustled.
Five days later, when they returned to the Hexi Corridor, news came from the court that Hu Kai, the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, used the name of the emperor's father, to sell private salt and escape for fear of crime, and ordered the confiscation of his family's children to be exempted from prosecution.
