Chapter 756 Behind every grain merchant there is a big guy
"I've seen a real person."
Luo Yangxing met Wang Xiao again, in the city gate tower of Yongding Gate.
Wang Xiao found a new Taoist robe from somewhere to put it on his body, and was talking about scriptures with those Taoist priests who participated in the practice.
Don’t think that only Buddhism has scriptures, but Taoist scriptures are mostly.
Wang Xiao read the scriptures well and sat in the city gate tower to shelter from the rain. His eyes were filled with Taoist priests who listened to him explaining the scriptures respectfully.
There is no way, today these Taoist priests have witnessed with their own eyes how Wang Xiao called the wind and rain.
This legendary magic appears in front of you. Even the old Taoist priest with white beards must respectfully call Wang Xiao "Real Person". Then he asks for guidance from the West... No, he seeks the Three Census.
When Luo Yangxing came, he saw this scene.
As for the defenders here, in addition to earning city expenses, there are no people here.
Wang Xiao sat on the cushion calmly and looked at him with a slight look at him, "How?"
Luo Yangxing smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, please come and meet."
Of course this is not the original statement.
Emperor Chongzhen's original words were, "Bring that demon here."
Emperor Chongzhen, who once suffered from the so-called auspiciousness, did not believe that Wang Xiao was a land god.
If Luo Yangxing had not guaranteed his life, if it weren't for Emperor Chongzhen, there would be no trustworthy person. Now Luo Yangxing has been imprisoned in the Northern Fufu Division, and a large number of Jinyiwei have also come to arrest Wang Xiao.
Wang Xiao looked at Luo Yangxing's expression and quickly realized that things must not be as simple as he said.
At this time, Wang Xiao, who had been Emperor Xuande, was also angry.
Although it is a different world, Wang Xiao still feels very distressed about the current Ming Dynasty.
Emperor Chongzhen, who was unable to have enough ability, naturally would not have any good face.
"Let him come and see me."
Wang Xiao threw the jade handle in his hand, and I don’t know who paid him a tribute to him. "I won’t come before dawn, so I will stop the storm."
Compared to the storm at the beginning, the wind has been reduced now. However, it is still falling, and it seems that it will definitely not be a problem until tomorrow.
So much rain fell, deeply nourishing the dry land for a long time. Everyone was looking forward to the longer the better.
In fact, Wang Xiao has been measuring the rainfall.
In his opinion, with the current rainfall, it is the best choice to continue until dawn. If there is more, it will cause floods.
It just happened to take this opportunity to beat Chongzhen up.
Luo Yangxing tried every means to persuade him, but unfortunately he was useless. Wang Xiao simply shook the whisk and ignored him at all.
The commander of the Jinyiwei was helpless, and under the surprised gaze of many Taoist priests, he turned around and went down the city gate tower, and ran to the palace to find his emperor.
‘Cough~~~’
Wang Xiao coughed, causing the Taoist priests to retract their attention. "Next, let's speak the mantra. If the heart is clear, the sky will fall and the sky will not be alarmed. Everything will change, and the spirit will be happy and the energy will be calm..."
Until the distance, the sky turned white, Emperor Chongzhen did not come to the city gate tower of Yongding Gate.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to come, but because he knows his temper and personality, Luo Yang’s nature, so he never dares to convey Wang Xiao’s words at all.
After he returned, he said, "Your Majesty, the real person said that he would accept the Dharma, and that the clouds and rain would be dispersed at dawn. Now is a critical moment, and he cannot come to see Your Majesty."
If Luo Yangxing directly said Wang Xiao’s original words, based on the temper and character of Emperor Chongzhen, he would be very happy.
Emperor Chongzhen's reaction was "Hmph, they are all liars. Well, for the sake of Luo Qing's family, I will see if the rain will stop at dawn!"
From this we can see that Luo Yangxing had already understood the temper and character of Emperor Chongzhen.
Emperor Chongzhen, who had never left the capital in his life, faced with countless geniuses in the court, it was natural to be fooled by others.
When it was dawn, the heavy rain that had been raging all night finally stopped slowly.
The sky that was clear after the rain was as blue as washing.
The air is filled with a fresh and moist smell, which makes people feel involuntarily.
Emperor Chongzhen, standing on the alchemy steps outside the hall, looked at the blue sky for a long time and was speechless.
After a while, he spoke in a deep voice, "Go and get a pair of agate seat cushions and reward that man. Tell him that if there is another heavy rain in three days, I will believe that he is a land god."
Luo Yangxing, who came to Yongding Gate City Gate with agate cushions, said this when facing Wang Xiao.
"Your Majesty said that the real person worked hard and made great contributions, and the immortals came to the world. He should have come to visit in person, but the affairs in the court were complicated and could not be spared. He ordered the subordinates to bring some rewards and asked the real person to accept it with a smile. Three days later, the real person would call the wind and rain again and all the rains are poured down, and His Majesty would definitely be present to congratulate him."
What does it mean to be successful in everything? That's it.
Anyway, there is no instant messaging in this era, and Wang Xiao cannot talk directly with Emperor Chongzhen, that is, he can listen to whatever Luo Yangxing says.
But he knew that the matter would definitely not be what Luo Yangxing said. Because Wang Xiao could see that Luo Yangxing was lying.
"There are many refugees in the city and many patients."
Wang Xiao calmly instructed, "Commander Luo, you must be responsible for their food, clothing, housing and transportation. You must also organize those who have fields at home to go home and farm with peace of mind. Don't worry about severe droughts, I will guarantee that at least the weather around the capital will be good."
Luo Yangxing wanted to defend himself, 'I am the commander-in-chief of the Jinyiwei, not the chief minister of the cabinet. He doesn't have any of these matters to me.'
Unfortunately, he has been touching Wang Xiao's temper and personality these days, knowing that his rebuttal and complaining will not be of any use. In the end, he could only respond with a bitter face.
"You are servants of the royal family, and it is your duty to help the emperor take care of the people."
Wang Xiao advised him, "Help them is helping the emperor. The emperor will appreciate your loyalty and ability."
Luo Yangxing lowered his head and rolled his eyes, "Can the emperor's appreciation be exchanged for silver? If so many people are arranged, I have to pay the silver. I am the commander-in-chief of the Jinyiwei, so I can't have the opportunity to be a cabinet minister. After spending so much silver, who can make up for me?"
"I know, you are worried that you will spend too much money. But you are the Jinyiwei, and you can find ways to find compensation. The grain merchants who used to cheat on silver together are a good goal."
Luo Yangxing really couldn't help but say, "The real person is above, please listen to what the officials said."
"There are big names behind the business in this capital..."
Wang Xiao interrupted directly, "What kind of big shot is better than you?"
Luo Yangxing smiled bitterly, "The Xiaguan is just a small commander of the Jinyiwei. How could he be taken seriously by those Grand Secretary and the Lords."
"It may be like this on weekdays, but the current environment is different."
Wang Xiao, who was barbecuing, lifted up the hem of the Taoist robe, revealing his long and furry legs. "If nothing unexpected happens, the Ming Dynasty will be gone in at most two years. These great scholars and lords will become sludge that can be trampled on by others. Don't worry, don't be afraid that they will jump around."
Luo Yang's personality, who almost became a witness of the Essence Chicken, was shocked by the fact that he was "Σ(�°Д°;)っ'
The Ming Dynasty is about to perish?!
Wang Xiao took the pepper powder contributed by a Taoist priest and sprinkled it on the barbecue lamb legs. "Tell me, who is behind those who sell food. I'll help you stand up."
Luo Yangxing can't care about this, he asked tremblingly, "The Ming Dynasty is about to die?"
The Ming Dynasty has been passed down for more than 270 years, and it has a deep-rooted concept of existence in everyone's hearts.
If someone else had said this, Luo Yangxing would have drawn out the embroidered spring sword long ago.
But when Wang Xiao, who had just shown his magic power before, Luo Yangxing subconsciously believed him. It can be seen that he was really being dealt with by Wang Xiao at this time.
"You must have read history books. Look at the Xia and Shang dynasties, since the Qin and Han dynasties. Which dynasty is immortal forever?"
What this said made Luo Yangxing speechless.
With the longevity of Xia, Shang, Zhou and Zuo, and the strong national strength of Qin, Han and Tang dynasties, they were unable to maintain their existence and died in history books. What's more, at this moment, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Ming Dynasty is already in turmoil.
If it were Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di's era.
Luo Yangxing must have the confidence to say that our Ming Dynasty will never change forever.
But now, even a loyal minister like Luo Yangxing who has been passed down from generation to generation, he knows in his heart that there is not much time in the Ming Dynasty. People like him are also a monk who hits the bell for a day.
Now that Wang Xiao directly pointed out the last hope in his heart, Luo Yangxing was already confused and didn't know what to say.
"Hello."
Wang Xiao took the roasted golden lamb leg and took a bite, "What are you thinking? Did you hear it?"
"Ah? Ah."
Luo Yangxing, who came to his senses, calmed down his mood.
After looking around, no one approached the wall where they were, then he said, "Those who can work as grain merchants in the capital have a strong background. Some are former chief ministers and secondary assistants, some are the Marquis and Dukes' Mansion, and some are the current chief ministers..."
As the most profitable business in this era, those who do grain business must have strong support.
Marquises and dukes naturally refer to the noble family. They were all heroes who conquered the world by Zhu Yuanzhang, and descendants of Zhu Di's heroes in the Jingnan Campaign.
These nobles who lie on the merit book of their ancestors to enjoy life have long lost the bravery of their ancestors.
As for the first and second assistants, it was considered a special institution in the Ming Dynasty.
During the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang, he personally took charge of the government affairs of the six ministries and hundreds of departments, which was actually equivalent to serving as the prime minister.
Later, he imitated the Song Dynasty and set up a group of senior officials as his own government affairs consultants.
Until Zhu Di became emperor, he liked war and often went to the north of the desert. He naturally relaxed his government affairs.
So he gathered the Grand Secretary and set up an institution called the 'Cabinet'.
At the beginning, the cabinet was just a consultant and consultant role.
But as time goes by, his power becomes heavier and heavier. He is in charge of the six ministers step by step, becoming the emperor's highest aide and decision-making body.
By the time of Chenghua and Hongzhi, the cabinet had become a civil servant representative who was enough to fight against the imperial power.
Zhu Yuanzhang tried his best to regain the prime minister's power, but was snatched back by the civil servants.
By the time of Jiajing, after Yan Song's efforts, the power of the cabinet was completely the same as that of the former prime ministers, and could completely suppress the six ministries.
