Chapter 179 The Imperial City Envoy Arrives
"My son is mighty and has updated the chapters you wrote for your father to read for the little princess. It's really funny. Since then, the little princess has not been very naughty. Every day, everyone is reluctant to stay in the book hall to listen to the stories. After that, they don't want to disperse for a long time. The official family may not be able to see your story, but the little princess is happy, so the official family thinks it's very good."
Gao Qiu’s father’s letter has arrived, and the letter expresses his joy with the official family in a slight manner.
Immediately afterwards, my father said in the tone of wanting to fall that Gao Fangping and Zhang Shangying were crazy, which was hateful and hateful. The reason was that these two guys set a crazy price for the "soap" that specialized in the aristocratic circle of Bianjing: 20 cents a piece.
The initiator of this incident was Gao Fangping, and the accomplice was Zhang Shangying.
Gao Fangping came up with ideas and made up stories, using pyramid schemes to make implantable brainwashing advertisements. Then Gao Fangping handed the outline to Zhang Shangying, and this great scholar quoted classics and polished writing styles and clevernesses based on Gao Fangping's structure and ideas, and finally released them, and told stories to the princes and dukes in high-end occasions such as Fanlou.
Under the collusion of the two tyrants, they flocked the nobles of Bianjing to the point of being 20% of mid-to-high-end soap, which was simply in short supply, because there were tens of thousands of nobles in Tokyo, and the spare capacity of craftsmen was not that large. Gao Fangping did not recommend that Lao Zhang expand his production capacity at will.
It is expensive, so I won’t say that the reason why Gao Qiu was angry was because Zhang Shangying’s ungrateful relatives refused to recognize her. Gao Qiu had to spend money to buy soap. Gao Qiu’s several concubines cried and made a fuss and said they wanted to try soap. Then his father had to pay for it with great distress. The only convenience was that he didn’t need to queue up and could buy it at any time. So General Gao was very dissatisfied with this.
Zhang Shuye is a stingy local tycoon. His current salary is almost the same as that of Yue Fei later. He sent various titles and subsidies. His salary was equivalent to the annual salary of five million in later generations. But Lao Zhang just tried to buy a piece of soap for his wife and gave it to him to try it out. After that, Lao Zhang commented: It's nothing surprising, he treats people as pigs. So he didn't need it, just ask someone to bring some ordinary soap produced by Gao Fangping from Yuncheng.
Lao Zhang's playboy who runs a pawn shop asked someone to buy some soap for her concubine, so she was caught by Lao Zhang. Her son's concubine was no exception and she hung up and beat her together...
"It's crazy, Xiao Gao and Lao Zhang, the two treacherous ministers, have obviously lost their hearts and become crazy."
"Yes, it's really theirs to deceive the Holy Heart and turn the royal craftsmanship into a place to make money and cheat."
"But... I heard that Jiangzuojian really makes a lot of money every day now, and the officials are so happy that they can't close their mouths."
"Hmph, the officials laughed, the Cai Party is probably crying. Especially the officials of the Central and Southeastern Department of the Cai Party, they probably want to peel Zhang Shangying and Gao Fangping and unrelieve their hatred. I heard that Zhu Jie, who was promoted to the Southeast Yingfeng Bureau, had another group of hard-working Huashigang escorted to Tokyo through the canal transport. Originally, this was a major event, but no one paid attention to it after entering the water and land pier. In the past, it had the highest priority. The other ships were sidelined and concentrated their manpower to place Huashigang for the emperor. Some even supported the Japanese army to maintain the order. However, this time the flag of the Yingfeng Bureau was no longer useful, and they lined up obediently. Without Zong Ze's inquiries, the officials of the Caoshi Branch ignored it."
"I think it's not as simple as the appearance. Zhu Xie is very powerful and supported by the current Grand Tutor Cai Jing. The old generation of favorite ministers has been locked in. People like Cai Jing and Gao Qiu and Tong Guan are fighting each other. However, the new generation of favorite ministers are particularly fierce. The hostility of Zhu Xie and Gao Fangping is much heavier than that of the older generation. The mutual exclusion is definitely not understood by the older generation, and the older generation of Tong Guan and Gao Qiu are already incomprehensible. It has become a waste of fire and fire.
Rong's scene vowed to distinguish between the two words "competition for favor" in this imperial city. Alas, I actually think that the older generations such as Cai Jing and Gao Qiu are quite generous, and they compete for favor and cooperate. But the new generation of rising Zhu Xie, Wang Fu, Liang Shicheng, and Gao Fangping, these guys may be successful. The most rascal is Gao Fangping, who has made a bad start. The damn blackmail Liang Shicheng is not even a archway."
"It's hard to say about Zhu Xie and Wang Fu, but Liang Shicheng was beaten by Gao Fangping without any dignity, and he was afraid that the situation would be gone."
"Yes, Tong Guan is the mainstay and banner of eunuchs, but this time he was suppressed by Gao Fangping and Tao Jiefu Zhao Tingzhi, and was determined to die in the northwest to be Qiu Ba. His momentum was not as good as before. Under this influence, Liang Shicheng had signs of rising, and was beaten by Gao Fangping using Zhang Shangying, who had a hot temper, to bow his head and behave as a human being. From then on, it can be announced that the decline of the eunuchs in our dynasty has been a foregone conclusion. It is really only possible to look at the two tigers between Zhu Xie and Gao Fangping, and the battle between dragons and tigers."
"The pork is bad. It's rumored that Liang Shicheng is the son of Su Shishi. He has a deep relationship with his Gao family, but he was cheated after his backhand."
"What's so strange about this? My literati and doctors are invincible and have a clear position. The general has been castrated by us. I am so obedient. Damn, I have no war now, so I will naturally attack the eunuch party. It's better than internal fighting."
"Yes, I'm really good at literati. The 'Prince Party''Tai-Zi-Party Party' was a little powerful during the Taizong period, but during the Renzong period, I met Bao Zheng's cruel official with a guillotine, which made those royal relatives die. The Prince Party has been dealt with by me and bowed down and is very particular!"
"Bao Zheng is a stick. That guy doesn't understand politics and only knows how to chop people with a guillotine. He especially likes to capture royal blood and abuse it. No wonder he can't worship the minister."
"Damn you know, he is the real backbone of my group. The reason why he dares to deal with the prince's party is because he has no politics in his eyes, only national laws. Such people do not know how to worship ministers, but they are worthy of respect at any time."
In the high-end circle, a group of families from the Imperial Academy were discussing this. They were really open to their horizons. The current Bianjing is a big dyeing vat, which is more joyful than ever in their memory...
As February begins, everything becomes peaceful as the temperature rises.
Gao Fangping didn't know what scenery inside and outside the capital. He just walked around the fields in Yun1 City like mud legs, inspected the situation.
Whether it is the official land of the county government or the private land in the hands of the gentry, they will be inspected.
It is said that the fields belong to gentry, and they do not lose them. However, when it comes to food security issues, especially in this special national conditions and period, Gao Fangping cannot rub the sand from his eyes, and must force the small group of soft confrontation to plant it, otherwise Gao Fangping would be ready to kill people.
There is no way to follow, but Gao Fangping is a cruel official rather than Bao Zheng. He has not done anything that has been cut off, and it has been more than once.
But at this critical period when Gao Fangping personally went barefoot to plan the future of Yun City and formulated the first three-year plan in detail. There was news that he entered Yun City, and the government and the country shocked Zhao Tingzhi's prime minister died of illness in office. Everyone was mourning!
It was said that this old prime minister who had made no achievements in his life also had a respectable side. A quarter of an hour before he vomited blood and died, he threw himself on the table in the Political Affairs Hall and watched the newspapers from all sides with a light.
The news about Gao Qiu's father entered the Yongle Army in an expedited manner of 800 miles. In the letter, Gao Qiu mentioned that he didn't know what was going on. Before Zhao Xiangye died, he also remembered that Gao Fangping was informing Yongle Army and ordered people to file from the Ministry of Revenue to check the situation of Yuanyue under Gao Fangping's rule.
When Gao Fangping knew this, he was a little heavy, so he would not be too sad for Lao Zhao. In this era, his age was not a sudden death, nor was he aborted. He had reached the peak, been a prime minister, and missed hard work. In fact, his life was basically complete.
Before he died, he was worried about the rule of the Yongle Army. First, Li Qingzhao must have spoken for Gao Fangping and hoped that Zhao Tingzhi would examine Gao Fangping's political achievements with the right perspective. Another reason is that Lao Zhao is not only good at character, but in fact he also wants to work diligently to organize government affairs and the country. He is just limited in ability...
"My army master! The royal decree has arrived, Liang Shicheng personally sent it, and it is urgently accelerated by eight hundred miles!"
Late at night, Gao Fangping had not had time to digest the news of Zhao Xiang's death and had not had time to make a judgment on the court. In his sleep, Shi Wengong's panic voice rang outside.
The so-called central decree is the emperor's private decree, not an imperial decree. At present, Zhao Xiang died and without the documents signed by the prime minister, it was not an imperial decree in the Song Dynasty.
But it was not the imperial edict that Liang Shicheng was sent to him personally, which shows that this is very urgent.
Gao Fangping did not dare to be careless and hurriedly got up to dress. Before he could even wash up, he hurried out to the lobby to see Liang Shicheng.
Liang Shicheng immediately took the emperor's will, and the eight masters of the Imperial City Division were following him with swords, looking majestic.
Seeing Gao Fangping coming, Liang Shicheng said with a sharp voice: "Gao Fangping, the Yongle Army's wise army, knelt down to welcome him...Wow!"
The eunuch had no end to say, and after being beaten down by Gao Fangping's head, the will in his hand also flew up at the same time and was held by Gao Fangping.
Damn, I don’t kneel even when I see the emperor himself. This is not a national pilgrimage, and even eunuchs dare to be arrogant!
Thinking of this, Gao Fangping turned around and sat on the high hall with the order, looked up at Liang Shicheng sitting on the ground with his head covering his head, looking pitiful. He had to collect his protection fee, so he had to speak softly again: "Thank you for your hard work, come, I will give you a seat to see tea."
The guards of the Imperial City Division were simply staring at the stars, but they did not dare to offend Gao Fangping. They felt that the Imperial City Division was no longer saved. This eunuch was too incompetent, so they would not say that they were chased by Zhang Shangying in the palace. When they came to Yuncheng to pass the orders, they were not respected, but were beaten by Xiao Gao?
"Uh, Xie Xiaogao's grandfather."
Several masters laughed and flattered. Generally speaking, they did not respect people so much, and even opposed the scholars and officials. But they had a good relationship with Gao Qiu, and they were beaten hard once last time and could not fight back, so there was a natural shadow. (To be continued.)
