Chapter 195 Yes, Your Majesty!

"Love on a rainy day" is a good comrade. The two pounds of pork he respects us are particularly good. You can ask Shangshen Supervisor to take care of him more.

His Highness the Princess has settled the princess, and Eunuch Wei has slept extremely peacefully in the Princess's Mansion that night.

Practice has proved that women either don’t do things, but once they do things, it’s particularly good.

Poor Cui Yingyuan and the others were not allowed to see Eunuch Wei come out for a long time, and they did not dare to leave without permission, so they had to stay in the gatehouse of the Princess' Mansion for a whole night. Dozens of big men were together, and they squeezed a little, but they didn't feel cold.

The next day, the rooster crowed three times, and Eunuch Wei got up just now.

Shouning seemed to be a little wife and was serving him to wash. This made Eunuch Wei, who had been working for state affairs for many years and had no one in his own family, almost impulsively prepare to support the princess to remarry and use huge sums of money to make the princess's mansion surname Wei.

However, he knew it was unrealistic.

No matter how much Wanli loves money, he will never even want his face. His daughter is in love with a fake eunuch and has a child. No matter who emperor can stand this matter.

Looking at Shouning's happy look, my father-in-law really didn't know what to do, so he could only sigh in secret.

The eunuch He Chong, who was in charge of the mansion, and the female official named Song, were mostly called Feng Gu. Otherwise, it would be impossible for both to remain silent after seeing Eunuch Wei, without any surprise or confusion. It seemed that Eunuch Wei had never been in the princess' dormitory last night.

It was getting late, and Eunuch Wei, who was determined to rescue his second uncle, told Shouning a few words and prepared to enter the palace.

Shouning brought Qi'er over. The little guy had woken up long ago. He was wearing a cotton jacket and a tiger-head hat. He was very cute in his eyebrows. His expression was a bit like the true story of his father-in-law. This made his father-in-law very happy. He hugged and teased him for a while before he let him go reluctantly.

Before leaving, Shouning said something, but next month, it was Qi'er's first year old, and according to folk customs, he would hold a first year old banquet.

"You have to take your father and brother over. Qi'er is almost one year old. You can't have seen your grandfather and uncle yet." Shouning really regarded herself as a wife of the Wei family, not the daughter-in-law of the Ran family, and even her tone changed completely.

"Okay, okay, get, get."

My father-in-law responded first, but he thought to himself that this girl was so crazy that she quickly cured her, otherwise she would have to cause a big mess for him.

Cui Yingyuan and a group of personal guards, He Chong had already asked someone to prepare breakfast for him. When his father-in-law passed by, the big men had just finished their meal, and when they saw that his father-in-law came, they stood up one after another.

"Father-in-law!"

Cui Yingyuan bowed and did not dare to ask any more questions about Eunuch Wei stayed in the Princess's Mansion yesterday.

Eunuch Wei ordered him: "Go back to the East Factory and tell Eunuch Li that we are back. Please ask Eunuch Li to go to the Catholic Church in Xuanwumen today, and tell the person in charge there that Archbishop Pang Maichen will come recently and ask them to prepare for reception."

The Catholic Church in Xuanwumen is the Nantang that the people of the capital often call it. It was the first Catholic church in the capital built by Matteo Ricci in the 33rd year of Wanli and the first Catholic church in the north.

This church not only undertakes the missionary mission of Catholicism in the capital, but also is also the branch of the Macao Jesuits. Every year, Macau missionaries come to Nantang. Nowadays, there are more than 20 priests and unknown number of believers.

Eunuch Wei has been canonized by Pope Paul V as the Purple-Clothed Archbishop of the Catholic Church and commanded the Eastern Diocese, so this Nantang can also be said to be the territory of Eunuch Wei.

Earlier, the father-in-law ordered Steelon, Guo Jujing and others to write to Long Huamin in Macau in the name of expeditioning evil forces in the shogunate, asking him to raise 100,000 taels of silver to clear the emperor so that Archbishop Pang Maichen could lead the Ming army to conquer Japan.

In other words, these 100,000 taels are actually the money that Catholics hired the Ming Dynasty Imperial Army.

After receiving the letter, Long Huamin was reluctant to be deprived of his power, but the pope's expectations and pressure forced him to obey the new Oriental Archbishop. He knew that if he resisted this Oriental man and did not need pressure from the Holy See, the new Oriental Bishop would also remove his position as president.

Therefore, Long Huamin was still very well-off. The Macao Jesuits basically received tasks assigned by Eunuch Wei, such as mobilizing believers from all over the country to raise funds, recruiting military-skilled personnel, and purchasing weapons and equipment. They did a good job in all aspects.

The huge sum of 100,000 taels of money used to clear the Ming Dynasty emperor was also transported to the north in multiple batches. The cashier was originally the southern lobby at Xuanwu Gate. But Eunuch Wei was not sure how much silver was shipped in Macau, because he had not met Guo Jujing and the others recently.

The cunning rabbit has three holes. Eunuch Wei didn't dare to mention this money to Shouning.

He still has some means and perseverance in hiding money. This can be seen from the fact that His Royal Highness uses all his skills on the bed but fails to make him reveal a word.

In addition, Xiao Jiujiu, everyone has it.

My father-in-law is still quite cunning.

My father-in-law told Shouning that he would use 100,000 taels to "buy" her father-in-law, but in fact, his psychological price was 50,000 taels.

50,000 taels, do you want it? Your emperor will do it!

For the Chinese New Year, it is better to have this money than not.

No matter how you are, you are the Supreme Emperor. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty cannot stop him from forcing him to catch him, Eunuch Wei, alone.

Was it bald, did it yesterday?

Therefore, the 50,000 taels of silver in his pocket made his father-in-law full of confidence in rescuing his second uncle. He went to the imperial city with confidence.

When he arrived at Xihuamen, he handed over the sign and waited for the Hou Chuan. Not long after, an eunuch came to Xuan Xuan to come to the palace to meet His Majesty the Emperor.

The place to meet is in the Xihunting Pavilion of Qianqing Palace, which is also the emperor's bedroom.

"I, Eunuch Wei, bow to Your Majesty!"

After Eunuch Wei entered the palace, he kowtowed and bowed to Wanli, which was a common ritual.

The highest etiquette of the Ming Dynasty was the five bows and three bows, which was only used to pass on national letters and respect the world.

If an angel comes from various vassal states, he will perform the ceremony of five bows and three bows. Three kneelings and nine bows are something made by the false Qing Dynasty, not a Chinese ceremony.

Wanli, who was reading a memorial in his hand, did not raise his head and said, "Are you back?"

"Well, I'm back."

Eunuch Wei's expression of excitement at last seeing the sage again.

"Come back when you come back, what's the matter in the middle of the night?"

Wanli's eyes were still looking at the memorial.

"Your Majesty knows it."

Eunuch Wei was shocked.

"What do you think?" Wanli didn't raise his eyelids.

Eunuch Wei dared not speak.

Wanli put down his memorial and finally looked at the person. He snorted: "Do you know everything about Li Jinzhong?"

Eunuch Wei nodded quickly: "I know."

"The problem is very serious and the nature is very bad." Wanli slapped the table to show his anger.

"I know."

Eunuch Wei was frightened and trepidated.

"Is it easy to bring money if I know?"

“Take it.”

The quick change in Wanli's conversation caught Eunuch Wei, who was moving with emotion, off guard.

"How many?"

Wanli's waist unconsciously straightened, and a little expectation appeared in his eyes.

Eunuch Wei only felt that his left eyelid was pounding violently and quickly reported the number: "Your Majesty, I bring 10,000 taels."

"Get out!"
