Chapter 35 Preparations

The chapter of the impeachment of Feng Wuzhao by the generals in the northwest suddenly caused another uproar in the capital. All the officials who knew the matter shut up, but those low-ranking officials who didn't know the details were talking about it. However, this impeachment did not cause any waves among the people, because there was another topic they talked about, that is, the rumors that someone was filthing the inner palace. Although the news was extremely obscure and the court strictly controlled these things, there were those who were afraid of the death and spreading these things with a nose and eyes.

The high-ranking officials and nobles naturally disdained this kind of rumors, and most people were afraid of getting angry, so they strictly prohibited the whole mansion from discussing this matter. Only a very small number of people were worried. The royal palaces completely closed the doors and minimized their contacts with the outside world. The scene of the crowded people on weekdays was no longer visible, and everyone was in danger, for fear of being affected by the fish.

Feng Wuhen has not been to the Ministry of Revenue for several days to take care of the matter and has been complaining about illness at home. Whether it is Chen Lingcheng, Shi Jingqi, or Brother Lang, the news analyzed is surprisingly similar, and the emperor will make big moves again. For the emperor who has always cherished the honor of the royal family, he can punish his son for minor mistakes. However, once they commit a heinous crime, he will never let Yousi deal with it. The emperor often chooses the loyal Prince Min or simply uses lynching. This kind of crazy paranoia can be said to be the biggest lack of Emperor Wanlie criticized by later generations. Some people even believe that it is precisely because of this that Lingyun will have bloody 20 years in the future.

"This memorial is also a strange article!" Shi Jingqi held the article that spread throughout the court in amazement. "I didn't expect that Zhan Pohan and a reckless man could actually make such a good article with a bunch of flowers. He is really not a good person!"

Feng Wuhen smiled, "I asked my uncle to check it out. Zhan Pohan once passed the imperial examination, but he failed the civil examination in the capital. He was angry and accepted the military examination. After going to the palace as a guard. Later, by chance, he was secretly ordered by his father to go to the northwest. Who would have thought that he was originally a small third-class guard in the palace, and he saw that his family was not well-off, so he rode on him and acted as a blessing. Now he was probably dealt with." He thought of Feng Wuzhao's situation and his face became much more pleasant. He had no good impression of the queen's son who never took him seriously.

"The situation in the northwest is probably a foregone conclusion. If you are not sure, Zhan Pohan will not rashly apply for the book. Joint report can be big or small, but one thing is a big hat for forming a clique for personal gain. If the generals were not in the hands of others, they would not be so obedient." Chen Lingcheng stroked his beard in contemplation, and instantly changed the topic. "It is the rumors on the streets and alleys worth paying attention to. It is said so sincerely, but it just missed the name of the person. Isn't this intention to make things bigger?"

Feng Wuhen smiled bitterly and shook his head. It was precisely because of this that he hid at home. Even Prince An Feng Wufang stayed in the mansion calmly. I believe that the royal families are also suffering now. Only the imperial wives in the inner palace have always been able to enter and exit from the imperial families, and few other people can be allowed to enter, so it is no wonder that they are all frightened.

"According to the nature of the father, these rumors will never allow the reputation of the palace to ruin the reputation of the palace. Then I will investigate it thoroughly. A few days ago, I heard that he went to the Queen's Palace. After saying something, he looked ashen and turned out to be ashen. All the guards around Kunning Palace were replaced. Even the eunuchs and palace maids who served the Queen were replaced. Now there are enough rumors in the harem. Now that this is happening again, even the mother is a little confused."

The matters in the harem were originally unexplained. Chen Lingcheng and Shi Jingqi looked at each other and chose to remain silent at the same time. There must be a reason for the groundlessness, not to mention that there must be a follow-up to this matter, and perhaps something unexpected might be involved. Chen Lingcheng was a person who had seen the queen before and did not believe that this always jealous woman would fall down easily, so his vigilance had never been dispelled.

"Forget it, I don't have time to deal with these things now." Feng Wuhen said helplessly. How could he not know the reason why the two people in front of him refused to speak. "It's because the Yue family has to pay for something, otherwise I would be unreasonable after receiving so many gifts from them. Their hands have indeed stretched out a little longer. Are you not afraid of causing trouble for the family? Alas!" He felt a big deal when he remembered the letter he received that day. Except for the Yue Luo family, the rest of the Japanese business is now just a piece of leftovers, which cannot be achieved. They actually want to squeeze those people out and monopolize all their business. They are really too greedy.

Chen Lingcheng and Shi Jingqi were also quite aware that the Yue family's move was inappropriate. However, when they remembered the Yue family's financial support, they could not think of a reason to refuse. It is hard to cook without rice. Each royal mansion has its own way of making money. Now, in addition to the money-making transactions in Beijing, the Qin County Prince Mansion can only rely on the Yue Luo family. After all, the manors rewarded by the emperor are limited.

"If your highness really has no choice, I am afraid that you can only ask Wei Wenlong to discuss it. This person is a truly extraordinary businessman, much better than the conservative old people in the capital." Chen Lingcheng suggested. In just two months, Wei Wenlong raised funds to build a lot of business, which made everyone in danger of several famous giants in the capital. If it weren't for the fact that Wei Wenlong's backer was too strong, they would probably have done anything.

"Well, my father already knows the deal between me and Wei Wenlong, so I'll ask him to have time to talk about it. I don't understand such business matters very well, so I'd better rely on experts." Feng Wuhen was not sure that he could suppress those businessmen who were seeking profit, so he had to find another skill.

When he came to Qinjun Prince's Mansion again, Wei Wenlong felt relaxed and clinging to what a prince meant to the merchant. As a vassal of the powerful family, he had a very clear understanding of it. Feng Wuhen's arrangement last time allowed him to make a lot of money, but he didn't know what good things were going on this time. As he thought about it, the smile on his face couldn't help but warm. This Seventh Prince is different from someone else. Which prince dares to make friends with merchants so blatantly? It seems that he has really met Bao.

"Boss Wei, I didn't expect to meet again so soon." Feng Wuhen greeted Wei Wenlong with some fun as soon as he entered the door. Wei Wenlong quickly stood up and saluted. The two of them exchanged a few casual greetings, and then they took the seat. Feng Wuhen ordered several maids to serve incense tea. Defang immediately took all the idle people out with an opportunity, and only Ming Jue stood behind the master with a solemn look on his face.

There were only three people left in the hall in a blink of an eye, and Wei Wenlong was no longer surprised. The powerful and powerful people in the capital knew that Feng Wuhen had a cold-faced guard around him, and they were inseparable. The insiders even secretly asked about Ming Jue's nature and wanted to climb the way through him, but they all encountered big nails. Ming Jue was like Feng Wuhen's shadow. Except for the acquaintances in the palace, he had never met anyone alone, and hated many people itchy. Unfortunately, Feng Wuhen liked Ming Jue's temper and always favored him.

"Caomin has not yet thanked Your Highness for taking on the grace of the last time. If it weren't for this, Caomin would not have been able to withdraw so much financial resources recently. Caomin knew that Your Highness would not see guests easily, and was afraid that his reputation would be ruined, so he did not dare to visit the palace rashly. Please let Caomin thank his grace!"

Wei Wenlong stood up and wanted to thank him, but Feng Wuhen smiled and helped him up. "What does Boss Wei mean? I also borrowed your power, so I don't have to care so much. I think my father is a wise king, so I naturally need the assistance of all directions. Although merchants and others have never been valued by the court, they are also indispensable. I am just a favor." He stared at Wei Wenlong with bright eyes, "As long as Boss Wei doesn't forget my hard work, I will be exempted from other thank-you words."

Wei Wenlong nodded in understanding and then said again: "Your Highness summoned the grass people today, don't know what's important?"

"It's not a big deal, but I just want to ask Boss Wei for something." Feng Wuhen smiled slightly, "I have a friend who wants to expand the business in one place, but that place is a place where merchants gather. Although he is rich and powerful, he cannot bully others by virtue of his power. Therefore, he wants to ask how to monopolize the business without showing any trace."

This is really obscure, but Wei Wenlong still heard the true meaning. He was a person who changed his hand. How could he not know that Feng Wuhen was talking about the business in Japan? But this matter is really difficult to deal with, and he has to make a good plan.

Feng Wuhen looked at Wei Wenlong's embarrassment with satisfaction. This question was not easy to answer. If he could blurt out, he would be perfunctory. He Weitao was really lucky. Even a brother-in-law could become a talent. I guess other high-ranking officials would not be jealous. Wei Wenlong could not care about Feng Wuhen's sharp gaze. He had no choice but to do so, but many of them could not be on the table. If it was easily revealed, once this person turned against him, Ying Jing'er would be all evidence, and he didn't want to take risks.

"Your Highness, Shu Caomin said bluntly that all the big merchants and big merchants nowadays have backers. It would be difficult to overpower them if they want to overwhelm them on the surface of the officials. However, a strong dragon does not suppress local snakes. If a local official can make a move, it will be better than any powerful person in the capital." Wei Wenlong carefully considered the sentence, "However, there are quite a few merchants supported by the wealthy families in the capital. They cannot do too much on the surface, and can only suppress them secretly. The right time is the most important thing."

Feng Wuhen looked at Wei Wenlong with a look of frightened expression, but there was an idea in his heart. However, He Weitao's face appeared again. This old fox would never give up such a God of Wealth easily. It seems that he should not be too close to him, otherwise He Weitao might complain to Xiao Yunchao, that he would not be able to be a human being at that time.
