Chapter 447 Reject the rich and powerful, be Daming's home!
"Because the price of coal is going to rise sharply, this matter cannot be discussed!"
At this time, Bi Ziyan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs, because Rui Wang Zhu Changhao suddenly came to him and said that he wanted to ask Emperor Tianqi for a part of the shares of the Hanhai Coal Mine that belonged to the treasury, and hoped that Bi Ziyan would be in the ministry at that time. Don't obstruct the discussion, but directly express your rejection.
Zhu Changhao also made himself boring.
He didn't expect Bi Ziyan to be so unkind.
Greedy bureaucrats like Zhu Changhao, although Bi Ziyan rejected his proposal, it doesn't mean they will give up.
"Your Highness, why bother to look for him, Bi Zichuan, now Daming is the country's uncle who has the final say, instead of looking for him Bi Zichuan, it is better to go to the country's uncle."
And there are also scholars who wander in the rich and powerful families like Zhu Changhao, who will deliberately cater to the greed of rich and powerful bureaucrats like Zhu Changhao, and put forward some suggestions on how to successfully amass money in the country.
At this time, Fan Wencheng, who had voted for Zhu Changhao along with Liu Shiyuan, made a suggestion.
Liu Shiyuan also echoed and said: "Brother Fan is right! Your Highness, rather than knocking the golden bell once, it is better to go directly to Uncle Zhang Guo."
Zhu Changhao said with some fear: "Gu would dare to go to Uncle Zhang Guo. Even Bi Zichuan doesn't give Gu face, let alone Uncle Zhang Guo? You know, Uncle Zhang Guo has even bloodbathed his clan .”
Fan Wencheng saw that Zhu Changhao did not dare to provoke Zhang Gui, but he wanted to stir up conflicts between the powerful bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty and Zhang Gui, so he had no choice but to say:
"What the lord said is that it is easy to get frustrated if you go directly to Uncle Zhang Guo."
"Based on my humble opinion, it is better to let His Royal Highness's own mother, Concubine Zhou, concubine Zhou, intercede with the Empress Empress, and then find a way to persuade Princess Shang of Uncle Guo's family, and let Princess Shang blow pillow wind for Uncle Guo. Zhang Guojiu does not agree, after all, it is said that the relationship between Princess Shang and Zhang Guojiu has always been very good."
"Here's a way!"
"Even if the test fails, it won't make Zhang Guo dissatisfied and lose face."
Zhu Changhao immediately slapped the table and went to Xiyuan.
After Concubine Zhou knew that her own son Zhu Changhao begged her to persuade Shang Jinghui to let Zhang Gui make the decision and agree that the emperor would give Zhu Changhao some of the Hanhai Coal Mine stocks allocated to the treasury, she agreed without thinking.
Because for Concubine Zhou, Zhu Changhao is her only son; what's more, she was able to become a noble concubine from a concubine of Emperor Shenzong Zhu Yijun, and now she is a concubine, all because of Zhu Changhao bringing her mother a son. Chance.
Therefore, Concubine Zhou would hang around the Empress every day these days in order to try to see Shang Jinghui.
It turned out that because Zhang Gui was the younger brother of Queen Zhang Yan, Zhang Yan would often summon his younger brother and sister Shang Jinghui to the palace to spend time with her.
After all, both of them like to read books, so they have a common language.
In addition, the emperor Zhu Youxiao is now almost completely obsessed with scientific and technological research, making Queen Zhang Yan's life very monotonous and lonely, and she needs Shang Jinghui to accompany her even more.
Shang Jinghui was summoned by Queen Zhang Yan as usual on this day, and came to the Queen.
What Shang Jinghui and Queen Zhang Yan didn't expect was that shortly after Shang Jinghui came to Zhang Yan's place, Concubine Zhou also came to the Queen's place.
Although since Concubine Liu and Concubine Li were forcibly suppressed for interfering in foreign government affairs and suppressing the Queen’s authority, and even the Hakka family was given to death, no concubine in the palace dared to offend the Queen because of her age.
But because Queen Zhang Yan has always been kind, some concubines would often come to Zhang Yan to chat, and Queen Zhang Yan would not treat each other coldly, and was quite graceful.
So, today Concubine Zhou came to Empress Zhang Yan again, Empress Zhang Yan was still not angry, and even pushed her away, but invited her to sit down and chatted with all the noble ladies she invited.
Concubine Zhou came here with a purpose, so after chatting with the concubines, princesses, concubines, Gaoming and other noble ladies present, she found an opportunity to chat with Shang Jinghui, and mentioned the Hanhai Coal Mine , and said:
Shang Jinghui was a little puzzled, so he smiled and said: "Toffee, why do you say this in front of me, I am just a woman, how can I manage this royal affairs?"
"Although you can't control it, as we all know, the home of my Daming Zhu family is now in the presence of King Dongping!"
"Can't you tell your Royal Highness about King Rui's affairs, and let him agree to give the Ruiwang family a share of the Hanhai Coal Mine's stock that belongs to the treasury?"
"You just moved your mouth, but my son and the others can be saved!"
Concubine Zhou took Shang Jinghui's hand and said, "I beg you? Good sister!"
"Don't say that! I can't say this. This is a matter of the foreign court. How can I, a woman, dare to intervene?"
"Furthermore, once I make an exception for you today, then tomorrow, if Dowager Li comes to beg for King Hui and King Gui, wouldn't I have to agree again?"
"Man said, Your Highness won't obey me. Even if you obey me, how can the shares belonging to the treasury be enough? I'm afraid people in the world will say that we, the powerful families, have harmed the world."
Shang Jinghui directly rejected Zhou Taifei's request, and went directly to the queen.
Empress Zhang Yan also saw some clues, and asked: "What did the concubine tell you just now?"
Shang Jinghui told Zhang Yan the whole story.
Zhang Yan raised her brows upside down when she heard this, and when Concubine Zhou also came over, she said with a smile: "If Concubine Zhou wants to ask for something for King Rui, just tell me, why bother to go to Concubine Shang."
Concubine Zhou smiled and said: "I just chatted for a while, since Princess Shang is not willing, it's okay."
Zhang Yan didn't say anything after seeing this.
But Concubine Zhou was naturally disappointed by this.
She didn't expect Shang Jinghui to be so shameless.
On this day, Shang Jinghui was invited by Princess Zhu Xuanyu of Shouning to visit her princess's mansion to discuss poetry.
This was just an ordinary activity among the upper-class ladies of Ming Dynasty.
However, as soon as Shang Jinghui arrived at the other garden where Princess Shouning lived, she was stopped by Liang Annu, the housekeeper next to the princess.
"I was summoned by the princess, why should I stop?"
Shang Jinghui also asked about Liang Annu.
Liang Annu sneered after Shang Jinghui asked, "So what about the princess' call? Even if the son-in-law is called to see the princess, it depends on whether it is proper or not!"
"I have already given the gift silver."
Shang Jinghui replied.
She did give a favor fee, and she also knew that the housekeeper next to Princess Daming had such a rule here. If she didn't give a favor fee called gift silver, she would not be allowed to see the princess, so she always carried the money with her.
"Not enough!"
It turned out that Liang Annv was a court lady who was related to Concubine Zhou, and it was Concubine Zhou who pleaded with the Zheng Gui Mansion to be the housekeeper next to Princess Shouning. Instigated by Concubine Zhou.
Shang Jinghui couldn't help asking: "How much?"
"Five thousand taels!"
