414 The Imperial Concubine

Seeing the expression of the white-known crane, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty thought that he had guessed wrongly.

"It seems that I guessed wrong." Zhu Qiyu laughed cheerfully, thinking that it was not such a big deal. Bai Minghe needed to ask for a solo, without intending to let people hear it.

"Long live, it's about the Wang family in Meixian..." Bai Minghe only said this, and Zhu Qiyu laughed loudly and stood up with a smile, because she was sitting there and laughing and feeling uncomfortable. She waved her hand and told Bai Minghe not to show her respect, just sit down on the chair there.

Zhu Qiyu smiled for a while before saying, "Are you afraid that I will be unhappy or that the ministers will criticize me? After all, the Wang family is also a big family!"

"Long live, this matter is a little hard to say." Bai Minghe kept thinking about the way he spoke, selectively explaining Wan Xueer's theory.

The meaning is that if you don’t take a concubine now, you will lose face, and your status is not low after all.

There is no formal concubine at home, and Wan Xueer and others are not considered concubines or the like.

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "You pet concubine have some insights!"

From what Zhu Qiyu said, Bai Minghe understood that Wan Xueer had not said a lie, and she really didn't understand the moral standards of the people at this time of the Ming Dynasty, whether it was a noble or the people. At least in matters such as civilians and aristocrats, she was just relying on imagination, or on the incorrect or incomplete theories of TV series in later generations, supporting her lifestyle.

"Then what are your concerns?" Zhu Qiyu also became serious.

"One of the time, I am afraid that I will be unhappy when I get married to a prominent family. Second, I am afraid that they will say that I am forming a clan in the court." Bai Minghe said the truth.

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "When it comes to marriage, you are already from the royal family. If you want to talk about bad rules, you are already an exception. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has been no real official position. You also understand those false positions. It is just an official title, but there is no real position. So I will not care about these, but since you mentioned this, I have something to say."

"Long live the order!"

"Let's talk about the officials here first. Formation of cliques cannot be involved in you. Rather than taking concubines, it's better to say that your recruitment of disciples make all officials even more nervous, and it will also make me pay some attention!"

The Emperor of Ming Dynasty would definitely not say that he was nervous or something. It was already very serious to be able to say that the viewing was obvious.

Bai Minghe suddenly thought that the matter of studying for Zhu Jianshen was suppressed by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, probably because of this reason.

"I know my mistake, but I changed my approach. I trained some smart and smart eunuchs. Long live as teachers. Those students will naturally be students of the emperor. Perhaps they will be divided into several factions in the future, but they will not be related to me."

"You are cautious."

"I dare not!" Bai Minghe stood up respectfully.

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "I don't mention this, I have said I can trust you. I only talk about taking a concubine. I just thought about it and there are some restrictions. The Xie family in Yuyao is not suitable. Because the Xie family is businessman, although the Xie family has no second rank in the court, there are many above the fifth rank. You cannot make such an official and business family, especially the Xie family is the leader of Hui merchants!"

"I remember it." Bai Minghe said, fortunately, he came over and asked, and there were taboos here in the Ming Emperor.

"The Wang family is a scholarly family. Even though there are some shops, they still take studying and taking exams as their family precepts. The clan is based on agriculture and the Shang Dynasty is the end. The four major branches of the Wang family in the Ming Dynasty are in the world. Thirty-six main halls, and those small branches, there are even more Wang surnames in the main hall, so Mei County is Mei County."

Bai Minghe nodded. It is definitely inappropriate for him to marry a merchant clan, and he also thinks so.

Because Daming now has a huge amount of silver in the sea trade relationship, if he gets married to Xie, then he will have a little bias in overseas trade. If this rule is messed up, it will be difficult to end.

"The other way is, if you choose Yu Qian, Hu Yi's granddaughter or the concubine's daughter, I will object. Of course, you probably won't be willing to be Yu Qian's sons and nephews, or grandchildren." Zhu Qiyu's last sentence was a joke.

No need to make this clear. Although Wang Shi is an old minister, he has little influence in the court.

Yu Qian is different. Regarding the influence in the court, Yu Qian is only bigger than Bai Minghe. What does Bai Minghe want to do? Yu Qian strongly opposes that Bai Minghe has to modify the plan at the most, and even give up directly.

What Yu Qian wants to do? Bai Minghe’s opposition is that he can make Yu Qian modify the plan, but he cannot make Yu Qian give up.

If Bai Minghe and Yu Qian join forces without any gaps, this influence will be at least half of the court.

The Emperor of Ming Dynasty understood the meaning of Baiming He. Taking a concubine is a trivial matter, and this kind of thing is not worth Baiming He coming to ask for advice. But Baiming He was still very happy to ask for advice from the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, and also said the limit, that is, there is a balance in the Ming Dynasty, whether it is his Baiming He or others, absolute power cannot appear.

The three Yangs at that time exceeded the limit of Emperor Ming Dynasty.

And Empress Dowager Sun's methods are already taboos, which the Emperor Ming Dynasty would never allow.

As for the fact that Baiming He was the concubine of Wang's legitimate granddaughter of the Meixian County, the addition of Wang's family to Baiming He was barely a icing on the cake, and it was not considered a helping hand. Emperor Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty didn't care about it at all, so he definitely didn't guess in this aspect.

Bai Minghe also asked clearly and also knew the Ming Emperor's bottom line.

It seems that Wan Xueer is really a treasure.

"Long live, there is another thing that I plan to go back to Nanjing. I will leave Beijing in about ten days. In the capital, I will also leave Beijing with two things: information from the East Factory and the Jinyiwei supervising patents. After processing, I will leave Beijing."

"The Jinyiwei supervising patents is a good thing. I plan to let Wang Quan serve as the commander of the Jinyiwei, or choose one person from the Jinyiwei to promote it. What do you think is good?" Zhu Qiyu also thought about it for many days and did not make up his mind. As for the Jinyiwei, he did not plan to ask the cabinet, which was the emperor's private soldier.

Bai Minghe thought about it and replied: "Long live, the one who can share your worries is a good minister!"

"This is smooth, and there is nothing wrong with that!" Zhu Qiyu was not satisfied with Bai Minghe's answer.

Bai Minghe had no choice but to continue, "Long live, the commanders of the Ming Dynasty's Jinyiwei are mostly direct relatives of the queen or imperial concubine. I think that direct relatives can be rewarded, but may not be able to manage the Jinyiwei well. The Jinyiwei is a practical matter. Only when you can do things for Long live is a reliable Jinyiwei. If you don't have too much concern, you will be determined without hesitation!"

Well said!

Zhu Qiyu was very satisfied with Bai Minghe's second answer and nodded very satisfied.

"In fact, you can't take some minor mistakes that are not harmful to the heart. Just like when I built a shop in the East District, those craftsmen built the house hard, and the house was built sturdy and beautiful, and there were some residues at the end. These materials were also useless to me, and they took them. The difference is that some people would ask for instructions first, but they would take them away without them, and some people would take them without asking for it. Of course, both of them could be accepted."

"What about unacceptable?"

"After eating, I still have to smash my pot. I didn't work hard, but I was thinking about stealing materials. Such people cannot tolerate it!"

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "This statement makes sense, I have heard it."

At present, Emperor Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty drafted an order.

Wang Quan was given an unsuccessful title, and then a qualification was given to allow the Jinyiwei to compete for the position within the Jinyiwei, which means that a new commander was proposed within the Jinyiwei.

"Bai Minghe, what is the cable you mentioned last time from Beijing to Nanjing? Can you get it done this year?" When Bai Minghe was about to leave, Zhu Qiyu thought of this incident again.

Bai Minghe quickly replied: "Long live, I will do my best. It is two thousand miles from Nanjing to Beijing. The cable with such a thick arm is tens of thousands of stones, and it also needs to be pulled into thin copper wire. This is very labor-intensive, but it must be built. I must get this in hand. Even if there are difficulties, I have to face it."

The white-known crane has left the palace.

Emperor Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty sat behind the imperial case and asked his new general manager: "Da Wei, this white-famous crane is a good minister. What do you think you should reward?"

"Long live, please give me a few more good skills. Last time when the royal family was in the imperial court, some princes were dissatisfied with Lord Bai. After this incident, I was afraid that those who were brave enough to send someone to test it out. What's more, there are many people outside the Ming Dynasty who want Lord Bai's life!"

Zhu Qiyu nodded slightly.

This is reasonable. The Queen Mother sent an assassin and it was okay. Bai Minghe still wanted to pay his respects. Some princes who were reduced to their seniority and had no ability will naturally have some evil thoughts in their hearts.

"You make arrangements!" Zhu Qiyu felt a little tired, waved her hand and stopped talking.

"Slave takes the order!"

Wei Shaoqing's advice was a killing of three birds with one stone. First, what he said was true, someone wanted to die in Baiminghe. Second, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty also cared about the safety of Baiminghe. Of course, the third point is that many masters in the Forbidden Palace were too idle in the palace all day long, and the safety of the Forbidden Palace did not depend on a few masters.

The safety of the Forbidden Palace depends on the formation of troops, the accumulation of people and the accumulation of weapons.

No matter how skillful you are, you will have a thousand crossbows or two hundred muskets.

Therefore, the masters of the Forbidden Palace also have the intention to go out and do their jobs. They have a place to use their skills and earn more.

Bai Minghe returned to the mansion and started packing his luggage in the backyard.

Why do you say you have to leave in ten days? Official business is one thing. In such a large mansion, so many people, it takes a long time to pack up, and many houses need to be sealed. For example, people need to work when preventing termites and mice.

In this way, ten days later, the Baiminghe officially set off and left Beijing.
