Chapter 113 Today is grandson, tomorrow is Laozi
Wanli actually just knew about the fact that the imperial concubine was going to Xishan to worship Buddha. It was not that the imperial concubine came to him personally and told him, but that the personal female official Zi Yatou came over to talk to him.
Wanli was a little puzzled by this because the imperial concubine did not like to worship Buddha on weekdays. The last time she went to Xishan was seven years ago. Why did she suddenly want to go to Xishan to worship Buddha?
He asked Zi Yatou why Concubine Zi Yatou thought of going to Xishan. Zi Yatou dared not hide it. He said that the Empress was in a very bad mood these days and could not fall asleep every night. She had several times when she woke up from nightmares and was in a state of ease. Then she wanted to go to Xishan to worship Buddha in order to seek blessing from the Buddha.
After hearing what Zi Yatou said, Wanli sighed and felt uncomfortable. He knew why the imperial concubine was in a state of peace, and why didn’t she come to tell him in person.
I think the imperial concubine refused to forgive her husband in her heart.
Thinking of his attitude towards the imperial concubine at the time of the incident that day, Wanli couldn't help but feel guilty. He wanted to accompany the imperial concubine to the West Mountain to ease the relationship between the couple.
But he had inconvenient feet and legs. He had not left the palace for twenty years since the Wanli period, so he asked Zi Yatou to accompany the imperial concubine to relax.
Yu Zi's girl also told her to tell the empress not to worry about the false accusations of the thieves, nor should she worry about the Zheng family, as he is the emperor in everything.
The imperial concubine's travel was arranged by the Ministry of Rites according to the system, and the Jinyiwei also had to deploy guards, but the aftermath of the imperial case was still unfinished, and the chief minister had not yet made any statement. The imperial concubine's rash exit from the palace might stimulate the outside court, so she could not make a big fuss.
The Jinyiwei could not arrange it, and the commander Luo Sigong and Donglin were too close, and Wanli was very dissatisfied with this. If Luo Sigong had not made great contributions in the battle to aid the court, Wanli would definitely not tolerate him.
You can't be called the Jinyi Guard. After thinking about it, you can only leave this matter to the East Factory.
On the Dongchang side, Wei Liangchen used his emperor's name to deceive himself and proclaimed himself a temporary imperial envoy to the eunuch of the official school. This made Wanli so angry.
If it weren't for the fact that this kid had a better ability to make money than ordinary people, and he would have done things better than the local mining tax entourage, Wanli would never have indulged him.
One thing that Wanli also admitted was that Wei Liangchen had good ability in doing things. Although he was not an in-house minister, since he was now accused of being an in-house minister, he would use it first.
This kid knows that nothing is a blessing, and he will arrange the imperial concubine out of the city without any leakage, and will not add trouble to the emperor, nor will he give the outside court too many opportunities to blame him.
It can be regarded as giving him a chance to make meritorious deeds. If he fails to do something, Wanli will definitely beat him up, so as not to slander him all day long.
Of course, the move of the other party being honest and lenient and taking the initiative to surrender the treasury is what Wanli values the most.
Wei Liangchen's arrangement for calling the emperor was shocked. He was worried about how to sneak into the Xishan Mountain to talk to the emperor, but he didn't expect that the emperor directly arranged a police car to open the road for him.
this…
Do you have to keep the traitor?
After being slightly stunned, Wei Liangchen happily accepted the order that protecting the safety of the imperial concubine was his duty as a slave.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will never let anyone disturb the Empress and worship Buddha!"
After expressing his loyalty and attitude, Wei Liangchen thought about it and was overjoyed again, because the emperor seemed to have agreed to what he did in the East Factory.
If you don't object, you support it.
As long as the emperor doesn't speak, who dares to overthrow him, the acting factory director?
Your Majesty, the true and kind person!
Wei Liangchen was sincerely grateful. Although his family’s fortune was almost empty, it was worth it to win the position of acting factory director.
You must understand that he is the acting factory director in Beijing, but he is the factory director after leaving Beijing.
Since ancient times, how can a factory manager not make a fortune?
As long as you don’t lay off for a day, the factory manager can nourish you for a day.
Your Majesty, you are really unconventional in using talents, just because of this attitude towards employment. If the Ming Dynasty is about to perish, it will be unreasonable...
Wei Liangchen, who was very interested, struck while the iron was hot. He had a few trivial matters to tell the emperor. He had been filial to him for millions of taels. It should be fine for the emperor to help him solve some trivial matters.
With the emperor's mind and temperament, there is no such store after passing this village.
"Your Majesty, there is one missing from the fourth grade of the East Factory now. I... want to recommend one person." Wei Liangchen is going to be a talented person for the country.
Wanli glanced at him and thought to himself that this kid would climb when he saw the pole, but he would give some benefits because his personal contribution exceeded several mining prisons, so he asked, "Tell me, which one do you want to protect."
Wei Liangchen blurted out: "I recommend Li Yongzhen, the eunuch who wrote in the office, to serve as an internal file in the East Factory."
Wei Liangchen has been thinking about this candidate for a long time. With the friendship between Li Yongzhen and his old Wei family and his personal talent, it is undoubtedly the best place to be an internal department in the East Factory. In this way, he left Beijing and Li Yongzhen was also supporting him in the East Factory, so that no one could leave and tea would be cold.
"Does Li Yongzhen? I know that he is a talented person, I'm sure."
What surprised Wei Liangchen a little was that Wanli actually agreed to his recommendation.
In fact, if Wei Liangchen recommended someone else, Wanli might have considered it, but he really knew that when Queen Wang wanted to kill this person, it was the emperor who came forward to put him in prison. Otherwise, Li Yongzhen would have called the queen to be beaten to death.
The reason why Wanli left Li Yongzhen's life was that this person was a leader in the Nei Shutang and was very talented. Later, when Gao Huai made a comeback, Jin Zhong mentioned it to him, and he took the opportunity to release Li Yongzhen, which was also intended to employ people.
"I thank you for your Majesty on behalf of Eunuch Li!"
Wei Liangchen succeeded in protecting the people and immediately attacked again. He said with caution: "Your Majesty, when I was in Jiangnan, I had submitted two questions to Your Majesty. One was about the state-owned minerals in various places, and the other was to promote the change of customs and habits in Liaodong, and to accumulate hair and change crowns..."
"I don't want to do things that are state-owned for minerals, but," Wanli shook his head and said a word "difficult", so that Wei Liangchen could do his business with peace of mind, and the matter would be postponed.
Wei Liangchen was silent, knowing that Wanli was afraid that the complete state-owned minerals would shock the foreign dynasty and bring about political turmoil. Now, the mining tax entrusted in various places was subject to layer by layer. If all the minerals in the country were nationalized, someone might have overturned the table.
The two have different perspectives. Wanli is not Wei Liangchen, and someone is responsible for causing trouble. If he really causes a large-scale civil rebellion or even rebellion in the country, then he, the emperor, will not be able to sleep.
"Then the matter of changing customs and customs in Liaodong?" The former could not be done, so Wei Liangchen hoped that the latter could be implemented immediately, which is more important than the foundation of the country.
"What does this matter have to do with you?" Wanli looked at him angrily, and then said, "I have asked Liao Fu to do this matter."
"Can Liaofu implement it in detail?"
Wei Liangchen asked, just the various measures he had taken by the new Liaodong Governor Zhang Tao to write to the court, it would be strange if he could implement the change of customs and customs in Liaodong.
You should know that Governor Zhang held high the banner of favoritism and wanted to turn the Han people in Liaodong into second-class talents. This Governor's idea was very different from that of ordinary people. According to his idea, as long as he pleased Jianzhou and even Mongolia, they would definitely be grateful to the Ming Dynasty and not cause trouble to the court, which would save a lot of military expenditure.
This is the best way to maintain long-term stability.
Of course, typical stupid...
This idiot's idea is inherited from generation to generation. It's such a damn group of bad things.
Wei Liangchen cursed in his heart, and Wanli cursed too.
"You are an in-house minister, what does these things have to do with you? I didn't ask you to interfere in politics! The court has its own major policies, and the governor has its own rules. How can you argue with it..."
Amid Wanli's scolding, Wei Liangchen withdrew from the hall unwillingly.
Chapter completed!
