Chapter 237 Concubine De’s wrist

"...This one million and five million taels of silver, 500,000 yuan will be used as a gift for your sister. There are still one million taels, so I will give it to my brother-in-law! Brother-in-law, don't think it's too little, it's every year..." When Queen Defei read this, she suddenly screamed, her delicate face was full of excitement. At this time, she saw some girlish postures and even jumped up. Wanli hugged her quickly, "Ruotong, a child who is in a confidant, I also pointed at you to give birth to a prince. In the future, I will ask Mr. Shen to teach him to study..."

When Sun Yinglong heard this, he quickly lowered his head, and his back was covered in cold sweat. He couldn't help but be nervous. As Wanli's teacher, according to the Ming Dynasty, the meaning of Wanli's words was clearly to depose the eldest son and establish the youngest son, and to establish the child in Concubine De's belly in the future. Of course, it is not clear whether it is a man or a woman now, but this meaning has been clearly out.

"Sun Yinglong, where is the silver!" Concubine De's face was flushed. As the emperor's favorite woman, she was not as rich as the people imagined. Especially Wanli was in power but the New Year, and there were many places to spend money. Now at least half of the Chinese civil and military officials were promoted by Zhang Juzheng. If you want to use Zhang Juzheng to promote Zhang Boss Zhang, you will always give the younger brothers below you! Otherwise, if others compare, I will be with Zhang Boss Zhang, and I will have no worries about food and drink. Now I have changed my rank and hang out with your emperor, and you will be treated worse than Zhang Boss Zhang... I will be separated from my heart and virtue.

Therefore, the emperor and the minister are not completely unreasonable. Wanli also wants to cultivate talents by himself. The key is that he is too young. Although he has plenty of time to squander because of his youth, many old men in the officialdom do not buy into the emperor.

No matter which dynasty or dynasty, even after the transfer of power, the most important thing is four words, a smooth transition. Therefore, even if Wanli doesn't like Zhang Siwei, Zhang Siwei's cabinet chief minister will be steady. If Wanli sits in the position of the emperor for ten or eight years, then as long as he has a wink, countless officials will immediately attack the emperor's cabinet master who is dissatisfied with it.

Although this year is the eleventh year of Wanli, anyone with a discerning eye knows it very well. Before the tenth year of Wanli, the real emperor was actually Zhang Taiyue, not Zhu Yijun.

"The servants are waiting outside! The silver is also carried with him. The servant took the book from his uncle. After taking the silver in his hand in the hand of his father-in-law, he stared at the silver all the time..." Sun Yinglong used the words to reach out and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. On the surface, he said that it was his first time to escort 1.5 million taels of cash silver, so he was nervous. In fact, including the eunuchs around him, everyone knew the real reason for his nervousness.

"Zhang Ban, go and move the silver to Qianqing Palace." Wanli said to Zhang Cheng with her shoulders on Concubine De. Zhang Cheng nodded and said yes, and gave Sun Yinglong a wink, "Come with our family."

When he arrived outside the door, Sun Yinglong felt that the clothes behind him were all wet with cold sweat. Zhang Cheng looked at him with a slight look and whispered: "You are still winking. It seems that you are serving your uncle well. Remember, you didn't hear anything today and saw nothing..."

"Thank you, the chief executive, for your advice." Sun Yinglong smiled and stuffed a string of jade Buddhist beads bracelets. Zhang Cheng held it in his hand and looked down. He was stunned. He was a clear gift. The string of jade Buddhist beads was worth at least 5,000 taels of silver. He couldn't help but look at Sun Yinglong, "Do you have to use it in front of the uncle? It's quite worthwhile!"

"This is all ordered by the uncle of the country. Otherwise, the officials would not have the courage." Sun Yinglong smiled bitterly, and Zhang Cheng nodded, "Tell us the uncle's affairs and let us tell the emperor and the emperor."

Sun Yinglong quickly followed Zhang Cheng, and there were many eunuchs behind him. He waited for a round trip to carry the box containing silver to the Ganqing Palace. Dozens of boxes were opened together, and the white inside was dazzling. Concubine De screamed and hugged Wanli with her back hand, "I'm getting rich, now I'm rich."

Wanli was also very excited. As an emperor educated by civil servants, Wanli was actually very miserable. He was asked to be a man with a perfect personality since he was a child. To put it bluntly, he had never seen so much money together in his life. However, his years of demeanor still calmed down, "Isn't my beloved concubine just one million and a half taels of silver? I am rich in the world..."

"I'll do it!" Concubine De gave him a blank look, happily looking at him, "If it weren't for the money earned by the good official, you, the emperor, would be a poor man. On his birthday, you gave him a hairpin. The silver bureau (one of the twenty-four eunuchs, who specializes in gold and silver decorations in the big neighborhood) was 2,000 taels. I really thought I was a man in the deep palace and didn't know! The hairpin was placed outside the palace, and it was so great that it was twenty taels of silver."

This was very heavy. Wanli looked embarrassed and Zhang Cheng quickly knelt down. Now that the eunuch in the Yin Bureau was his godson, he naturally wanted to apologize. Concubine De waved, "Okay, okay, I didn't mean to say to you, but an egg kitchen in the palace also had to offer one or two silver dollars. He really treated the emperor as a fool!"

At this time, Zhang Cheng was like Sun Yinglong just now, sweating coldly. Sun Yinglong, not far away, didn't even dare to say anything. He really admired Concubine De's methods. With one sentence, he beat Eunuch Zhang and other eunuchs. No wonder his uncle is so capable, he is indeed a sibling of a mother and a compatriot!

The emperor does not need money for food and drink. For example, the emperor's three meals a day, and the imperial kitchen also needs to make accounts and report accounts. It is a ridiculous thing like an egg and a tael of silver. In fact, it is a common practice in the palace. There are so many eunuchs in the palace, and everyone has to raise them. All of this money has to be grafted on the emperor. In addition, the eunuchs have to make money. Over time, the eggs will naturally become more and more expensive.

Zhang Cheng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "The Holy Ming Nv is like this, knowing the sufferings of the people, but there are many people in the palace and the expenses are high, so there is no way for me..."

Concubine De snorted, "Parent Zhang, you are saving. Don't be angry if I say something, you! For the sake of the emperor, I'm almost stingy with my fingers. But increasing revenue and reducing expenditure is not as good as increasing revenue. Don't worry about saving here all day long. It was so cold last winter that even my jacket was old. I don't know, and I thought the emperor was *** you!"

This seems to be scolding Zhang Cheng, but in fact, it is praising him! As the saying goes, a slap and rub it, and Concubine De used it to perfection, which immediately moved Zhang Cheng to tears. "I...I..." But I couldn't even say anything.

"Zhang Ban, get up!" Wanli personally helped the old eunuch up. The old eunuch followed him since he was a child, so he naturally had to give some decent people. Concubine De next to him saw half of his letter, and for so long, he was almost happy. He immediately stretched out his fingers and stroked his cheeks. After thinking for a while, he said, "Zhang Ban, I will give 100,000 taels of silver to Empress Dowager Rensheng, and Empress Dowager Cisheng will also give 100,000 taels of silver..."

After a while, Concubine De sent some money to the palace and immediately spent more than 300,000 yuan. Of course, this money must be spent. For example, the two empress dowagers, the Empress Dowager Rensheng personally praised her, which was very kind. The Empress Dowager Cisheng is the emperor's mother, so this cannot be missed. From this point of view, Concubine De can be a human being, but sometimes the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not that you can have a good relationship. Empress Dowager Cisheng may not be grateful if you take this 100,000 taels of silver, and you may not even complain that Concubine De is showing off.

At the end, Concubine De said, "I will be a member of the Ganqing Palace today, and each person will be rewarded with twenty taels. Zhang Fan, you will reward the silver later." As soon as she said this, no matter how far or near, all the eunuchs around her knelt down to thank her.

Although each person had twenty taels, there was a lot of money. Zhang Cheng subconsciously felt distressed. However, after looking at the emperor with a happy face, his lips moved slightly, and he stopped talking. He thought to himself that the emperor should also gather the servants below. He was tight before, but now he had money, so he would make the emperor happy!

Don’t underestimate these eunuchs and palace maids. Emperor Jiajing was almost strangled to death by a group of palace maids. It can be seen that buying people’s hearts is an indispensable homework for those who are superiors.

After giving a lot of rewards, Concubine De just missed Zhang Cheng. Wanli thought that his beloved concubine had forgotten and was about to speak, Concubine De gave him a blank look. At this time, he said to Zhang Cheng: "Zhang Ban, I won't reward you with money. You have some money and you have to worry about doing good deeds. The emperor has a peacock feather robe, which was given by Mr. Zhang Taiyue and Zhang Ge. Now the emperor has grown up and is a little smaller. You are wearing it appropriately..."

Wanli then remembered that the robe was given by Zhang Juzheng, but now he refused to wear it, but he didn't want his beloved concubine to give it to Zhang's partner. As for Zhang Cheng, he was stunned at first, and then, he was crying and knelt down and kowtowed to Concubine De, but he couldn't say a word. Sun Yinglong looked at him and couldn't help swallowing his saliva. A layer of white-haired sweat appeared behind him. At this time, he secretly reminded himself that he must do his best to his uncle, just treat it as a dog in front of him, and never have any other thoughts...

After Empress De used her complete political skills, she went to read the letter again. After reading a few lines, she giggled again, "Your Majesty, come and see, your brother-in-law asks you for an official!" Wanli quickly approached Concubine De and looked at her head. She didn't agree at the moment, "Didn't you just want the title of more than a dozen maids? Just give him. By the way, the good official has earned me so much money, let alone these, it's enough to give the father-in-law a title of Duke and Marquis."

Concubine De shook her head slightly, "I don't want this, otherwise the civil servants in the court will be reluctant to trouble the emperor again."

After hearing this, Wanli immediately remembered those hateful guys, and his face looked a little bad. He clenched his fists tightly and said, "Sooner or later, I want them to look good, Humph! Zhang Ban, bring me another bowl of ginseng tea."

Zhang Cheng quickly wiped the tears on his face, got up and turned away, but he came back suddenly, feeling a little regretful. The emperor's body was still not very good, but he wanted to find a way to find a truly good doctor to recuperate. The imperial doctors in the palace prescribed medicines either as a tiger or wolf medicine, or as the medicine was mild, and it had no effect in the first half of the year.

At this time, after reading the first letter, Concubine De opened the second letter, looked at it several times, and couldn't help but snorted, "Sun Yinglong, was this letter brought by the good official?" Sun Yinglong's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly knelt on the ground, "Yes...yes..." But even his teeth were fighting up and down, and his face turned pale.

"It was the Wenren who asked you to bring it!" Concubine De snorted, "You think she is full of wisdom and can speak in front of the uncle, just like... I am in front of the emperor, right?"

Sun Yinglong kowtowed his forehead to the ground with a loud bang, and said repeatedly: "I deserve to die, I deserve to die..." But he didn't even dare to distinguish. Seeing that he kowtowed more than a dozen times, Concubine De saw that he kowtowed more than a dozen times, then hummed twice, "This Wenren really thought that the teacher who stumped the good official in one word could be qualified to talk to me. If she was favored by the good official in the future and gave birth to a child and half of the Zheng family, I might give her some face, but now she dares to make an idea for the good official without authorization and write a letter to me to suggest that the daughter of Wang Xijue and Wangge's hometown be the wife. I really think I don't know what she is thinking!"

His forehead was covered with sweat, but now his descendant Yinglong didn't even dare to reach out to wipe it.

After walking two steps back and forth, Concubine De asked Sun Yinglong, "Does the daughter of the Wangge's hometown know the general? Let's listen carefully." Sun Yinglong didn't dare to hide anything at this time, and honestly told Wang Rongrong about the situation. Concubine De smiled, but guessed Wen Ren's thoughts thoroughly. Isn't it just that Wang Rongrong is young and said that she is easy to fool and know the general. To put it bluntly, these three words are still easy to fool. In addition, there are many princesses in the good official's room. If Wang Rongrong is the daughter of the good official, she will definitely win over Wen Ren's serious Ming and wife...

Wanli came over to look at it, touched his chin and said, "My beloved concubine, this daughter of Wang Xijue's family is worthy of being a good official! Why don't you just agree? I believe that Wang Xijue will also move closer to me in the future."

Concubine De stretched out her slender jade finger and pointed it on his forehead, "You! I said what you are good? There is no peace in the world that can be achieved through marriage. In the Han and Tang dynasties, there are fewer marriages? Is it the same thing to do when it is time to fight? Do you think that Wang Xijue will listen to you honestly if he marrys his daughter to a good official? These old bastards have been in the officialdom for decades, and none of them are good. Princess, you! Compared with others, you have eaten salt for decades less!"

Wanli was dissatisfied with the words of this by his beloved concubine, "Didn't the good official also integrate the entire Fusang by marriage? Otherwise, he would have asked me how much titles were for so many imperial ladies!"
