263 High-profile return to Beijing

All Tianjin Guards were mobilized, and the Feiyan Ship, who had arrived here to report the news earlier, had already delivered the letter. With Yu Qian's order, the Five Army Governor's Office naturally sent troops, and 20,000 soldiers were stationed outside the Tianjin Guard.

The white-famous crane had no one to let the ships with gold and silver be disembarked, but only ordinary cargo was disembarked.

"Why don't you let Jin and Yin get off the ship?" Xing'an came to find Bai Minghe in person for this matter.

Bai Minghe handed a piece of silver to Xing'an: "Uncle Xing, the quality of silver is also very average. It is our Ming Dynasty miscellaneous silver, which is not a loss. This time, on the Japanese island, it is calculated as 80% of gold and 90% of silver. It seems that he is suffering a loss, but it is not the case. Our profit is also large enough."

"I asked, why don't gold and silver get off the ship?" Xing'an asked again.

"I'm considering whether to pay the cash or the banknotes to the merchants." Bai Minghe said with a smile.

Xing'an stopped talking, just like he thought. Bai Minghe was really making this idea. Moreover, Bai Minghe might want to transport this batch of silver to Jiangnan. As the treasury of the Dongchang Silver Centre, the silver piled there, the gold mountain can make his silver notes more convincing.

Thinking of this, Xing'an asked again: "Bai Minghe, did you think of building three large warehouses in Beijing, Nanjing and Guangdong?"

"Uncle Xing will not hide it from you. I have also considered building a large warehouse in each province. But there are many problems, so I don't hide it from you. I plan to make a decision after seeing it, so I won't get off the ship, but I just won't get off the ship for the time being. Silver is not a stone, and I don't like to move around."

Bai Minghe's explanation is reasonable. Bai Minghe has not seen all the files and eunuchs in the East Factory's management of the silver number, so he dared not make a decision.

But I already have a plan in my heart, and it is just a plan in my heart.

Xing'an said again: "The New Year is coming soon. This year is better than in previous years."

"Uncle Xing, I have a lot of words in my heart that I want to pour out. I don't know if it's okay." Bai Minghe asked Xing'an seriously. Xing'an smiled: "You have grown up and know that you can't say all the words. Yang Neng, Yu Qian, and Hu Yi told you about the way of being an official. The Mid-Architect will also say something to you. Long live your heart if you say anything. Otherwise, don't speak, do it if you want, and wait for it if you can't. This is the way to survive for the Mid-Architect!"

Xing'an was an eunuch, not a minister. His only reliance was the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

Bai Minghe was thinking about Xing'an's words. Isn't the meaning of this saying talking about himself? His only support is the Emperor of Ming. No one in this court can fully protect himself.

"Enter Beijing first!"

Bai Minghe is not worried about these things. To put it in a small way, no one in the Ming Dynasty dares to snatch their own things casually. To put it in a big way, these things are labeled as royal.

In the capital, before dawn, the ministers who were queuing outside the palace received a notice that they would go back to their homes and would not go to court early today.

There is no reason, no reason. There is not even an excuse, just a simple sentence. I won’t go to court early today.

Today is a grand dynasty meeting. It was originally intended to discuss the two places of Datong Xuanfu. Recently, there have been constant controversy among the officials. Even if it is a great achievement, these soldiers have done something too much. Not to mention that they have given the three lights to the Wasat people, but they will naturally affect ordinary people when fighting.

The most hateful thing is that they were all over. It was only the rumor that the officials knew. The three governors and two governors did not even send me a memorial to report the merits. How could there be a request for instructions in the capital before sending troops?

This means not taking all officials seriously. Of course, to the point, it means not taking Gaogu Yi Party seriously.

Yu Qian and Hu Yi actually left Beijing. It was obvious that they took the opportunity to avoid it.

Today's grand dynasty meeting is about to discuss this matter.

An imperial edict would not be held early today. Gao Gu smashed the stove in his hand heavily to the ground. The sound of the porcelain shattering on the cold stone slab was particularly harsh.

Why didn’t I go to court early? I didn’t even have an excuse?

The sound of drums came from the palace, which was very rhythmic. Many officials looked at the closed gate of the palace. The drum sound was the sound of gathering the imperial guards in the palace. According to this rhythm, it should be lined up to welcome them. Generally speaking, only if the great victory army, the envoys returned to Beijing and the heroes returned to Beijing, will there be an imperial guards lined up.

There must be a door in the palace that has opened, but it is not the one in the west.

Dongdongdongdongdongdong! The drum sound became a sudden sound. In the morning before dawn, the sound was very far away.

Gao Gu looked up and said, "The main gate, Chengtian Gate (the ** of later generations). Gao Gu felt a hundred unhappy. You should know how many times the Chengtian Gate of the Ming Dynasty could be opened in a year. Only when the emperor's wedding, sacrifices to heaven, sacrifices to the earth, sacrifices to grains, and the army goes to war and sacrifices to flags, will the Chengtian Gate be opened in the autumn auditory ceremony.

What day is this!

"The white-known crane is back!" The voice was not loud, but it quickly spread to the ears of the officials who were queuing up to take the morning court.

Chen Xun knew before he left the house that the Ministry of War sent someone to inform him. Of course, he did not say that Bai Minghe had returned. He only said that his Lord Shangshu, Mr. Hu Yi, and the owner of money and grain in Lianzhou Prefecture, Guangdong, had already disembarked in Tianjin, so he came to report.

Gao Gu was stunned, why didn't he know.

If Xing'an was here, he would be happy to tell him what the miscellaneous family would not let you know, can you know?

Gao Gu's gaze swept around quickly and saw Chen Xun about to sit back in his warm sedan chair. The faint smile on his face was telling others that he not only knew about this, but also knew it very clearly.

At this time, Gao Gu noticed another detail, that is, there was no dust next to Chen Xun's sedan chair.

Generally, when you arrive in front of the palace, the servants of each family will take out the small stove in the warm sedan to clean up charcoal or coal ash. Then press the fire and place it outside the sedan. Everyone knows that the newly pressed coal cannot be placed in the sedan. Press the fire until it is almost down, and then make the fire strong in advance and put it back into the sedan.

But there was no dust next to Chen Xun's sedan chair, which proved that Chen Xun knew very well that he would go back just after coming here for a walk.

Gao Gu's face became more and more gloomy.

Chen Xun signaled his sedan chair to go home. After breakfast, he still had to go to the cabinet to work. He would not go around the world to promote it. It was his idea to open the Tianmen Gate to welcome the white crane.

It felt that the person who was most shocked was not Gao Gu, but Bai Chongyuan. There were no less than twenty officials coming to congratulate him. He didn't even know what the reason for these people congratulated him. He only said congratulations to Lord Bai and to the Bai family in Guanzhong. He did not react until Gao Gu called out the Chengtian Gate.

His own nephew, Bai Minghe, has returned to Beijing.

On a big show, I entered Chengtian’s storefront. This alone can be recorded in the Bai Clan Ancestral Hall. How many people in the world are qualified to enter the Baijun Palace from Chengtian Gate?

"Master, the third master is here." The Bai family's servant rushed over to report the news.

The third master of Bai Mansion is naturally Bai Minghe's father, and Bai Chong was happy. Bai Chongyuan immediately got into the sedan chair: "Go back to the house quickly, hurry!"

Bai Minghe had not entered the palace gate yet. He originally thought that he would just enter the palace from the east, but he was told that it would be a trivial matter to enter the palace from Chengtian Gate. Entering the palace in Chengtian Gate itself is a ritual, but Yu Qian and Hu Yi left without even calling him. What else could Bai Minghe do? He had to let the eunuchs mercy change their official uniforms and recite etiquette.

When Chengtianmen enters the palace, he pays attention to how many steps he takes.

Bai Minghe naturally doesn't understand, but with eunuchs leading the way in front, Bai Minghe only needs to follow the eunuch's pace, and basically it's impossible to make a mistake.

On the white-famous He Mansion in Donghuamen.

"I asked clearly. Opening Chengtian Gate was Chen Xun's memorial. Before the palace gate opened, I sent it to Long Live with the news of Tianjin. I just don't know what Mr. Chen was thinking?" Xing'an, the governor of the East Factory, was definitely not a waste of time. Such a small matter can be found clearly in a blink of an eye.

Yu Qian said, "What was there on the boat, what did the Bai Minghe do, what did we do in Guangdong. There was no half of the memorial to be sent to Beijing. How could he dare to let the Chengtian Gate open?" Yu Qian really didn't understand.

"In fact, the matter of Datong is qualified to open the Tianmen. Recovering lost territory and expanding territory is already a merit of title." Hu Yi has served as the Minister of Rites, so he is naturally very clear about this kind of thing.

In any case, it is already a fact that Bai Minghe entered the palace from Chengtian Gate. At this time, anyone who wants to block must talk to his head and his family and life. The palace has already opened and the ceremony has begun. Whoever dares to block it will be able to block it!

Breakfast and other things have been delivered to Yu Qian and others to the table. Sun Yuanjun naturally returned to this mansion. As for Bai Minghe's father, it was because it put too much pressure on him here. Even the fifth-rank official had to submit a few days in advance to come in. He was still too nervous, so he went to live at his second brother's house and was safe.

Bai Chongyuan returned to his mansion, and Bai Chongxi and Liu Zhi were both there.

In terms of identity, Liu Zhi is Bai Chongyuan's cousin, so the two brothers in the Bai family should also call him brothers.

"Second brother, let's tell the truth. The threshold for Minghe's mansion is too high. In the morning, Lord Yu, the Minister of War, said he wanted to go to the mansion for breakfast, but Mr. Hu also went there. I found an excuse to say that he had not seen his brother and my youngest son for many days, so I will come to you first." Bai Chongxi said it too clearly, but there was still nothing else. There were two princesses living in the backyard of the mansion. He was a father-in-law and had no sense of parenting.

I'd better feel at ease with my second brother.

After arranging someone to prepare hot food, Bai Chongyuan said:

"Third brother, all the supplies in my mansion are sent by Minghe according to the day. Minglu naturally has no worries about the cost. He may not come back in the past few days. The Shanggong called him over a few days ago, saying that he had a job to study for one or two, and stayed in the Shanggong for ten or half a month with peace of mind."

Bai Chongyuan explained the reason why the white-famous heron was gone and said.

"Third brother, it's good that you and Minghe are back. The New Year is coming soon. We need to prepare the New Year Red with the ceremony, at least it is a New Year ceremony. Shang Gong is the assistant minister of the cabinet, so this ceremony is probably not easy. Although I am Minghe's second uncle, it's not easy to find out what suitable New Year ceremony is in Minghe's mansion." (To be continued...)
