Chapter 431
Eunuch Wynn also smiled: "The emperor values you very much!"
The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were not as much thought about by the emperor.
And this one can give the emperor a surprise every year. Glass products are very popular in the capital now, but no one dares to think about it, because it is a factory opened by Dongchang.
Who dares to compete with the eunuch group for business?
Who doesn't know that they are the emperor's domestic slaves?
The money earned went into the pocket of the current emperor.
Fighting with them is fighting with the emperor, who can win?
Moreover, Shang Ming knows how to be a man, and he doesn’t eat alone. After communicating with Wu Youwei, the seven provinces in the south belonged to the glass factory in Shanghai County; the six provinces in the north plus Zhili belonged to the glass factory in Beijing.
There is also a separate glass factory in the military, specializing in the production of military supplies such as telescopes and magnifying glasses.
He delegated each of the six northern provinces to the Jingzhong clan, relatives, and nobles; only the Gyeonggi area was exclusively operated by Dongchang.
Because Beijing is the richest!
Dongchang made a lot of private money for Emperor Xianzong, but Emperor Xianzong ate meat, and they drank soup, but not too much, which was within the scope allowed by Emperor Xianzong.
Only a fool would recklessly commit corruption
The two chatted all the way to the gate of the palace, and saw a person waiting there from a distance, and the guards at the gate of the palace did not stop that person.
Eunuch Wynn narrowed his eyes and smiled, "It's Lord Wan.
When Wu Youwei heard this, he quickened his pace a little, and when he came to him, it was indeed Wantong. He was wearing casual clothes, so he didn't enter the palace gate, and just wandered there waiting.
"Why are you here?" Although it's May, and it's May Day, it's still very cold in the north, and it's really cold in spring.
I reached out and touched his face, it was a little cool.
"It's cloudy and rainy tonight, so I brought you an umbrella." Wantong said with a straight face, "Why did you come out so late?"
He didn't wear an official uniform, so he couldn't enter the palace to have an audience. Fortunately, the Imperial Forest Army on duty knew him and asked him to wait here at the gate, sheltered from the wind and rain.
"It's too involved in chatting with the emperor." Wu Youwei smirked: "Go home?"
"Well, go home." Wantong looked up, only to see Eunuch Wynn, nodded without saying a word.
Eunuch Wynn is very professional. Without changing his face, he asked the powerful eunuch behind him to bring the things over: "These are the things that the emperor rewarded Wu Shi to read. Please take them back, Mr. Wan."
Wantong came with his car and umbrella. The car was parked in the alley outside Jinshui Bridge. The driver and guards were not allowed to come here. He was the only one here.
Counting Wu Youwei, there are only two.
But the eunuchs have no purpose and cannot leave the palace gate.
Wantong had no choice but to ask the Imperial Forest Army for help, and carried it to the carriage. Fortunately, when he came, he drove a large carriage.
When the things were full, Wu Youwei had no place to sit, so Wantong directly helped him onto the horse.
Eunuch Wynn looked at the two of them as if he were watching a western scene at the gate of the palace.
As soon as Wu Youwei got on the horse's back, he immediately looked beautiful, with his waist straightened.
Wantong laughed, he didn't climb on the horseback, the Jingzhong streets are not allowed to gallop on horses unless they are on business.
So he took the bridle and walked home, followed by the guards and the carriage, the two were joking, Wu Youwei bent down on the horse's back and said something to Wantong, but Wantong patted his calf and stopped .
Eunuch Wynn didn't return to Qianqing Palace until he could no longer see them.
At that time, Emperor Xianzong was only wearing his underwear, lying on the dragon couch, and a massage eunuch was giving him a massage. Emperor Xianzong usually relieved his fatigue in this way.
"Sent away?" Emperor Xianzong didn't mention his name.
But eunuch Wynn knew who he was talking about: "Send him off, and as soon as he arrived at the gate, he saw Lord Wantong waiting there.
"Oh?" Emperor Xianzong became interested: "Why doesn't Zhongming come in?"
"Master Wantong is wearing casual clothes, so it's inconvenient to face the saint." The officials of the imperial court, who wear casual clothes to face the saint, will be impeached by the censor for despising the saint if there is no special reason or emergency.
This is also Vantone's respect for Emperor Xianzong.
"Oh." Emperor Xianzong nodded, and then gossiped: "Are they still that good?"
"Yes." Eunuch Wynn smiled and said, "It's very loving.
"Haha...!" Emperor Xianzong was happy.
I still stayed in Zhaode Palace at night, and the women in the palace really lost their temper.
For more than ten years, Wan Zhen'er did not look like she fell out of favor.
And everyone is also very curious, Wan Zhen'er has not changed in the past ten years, she is still the same, but she has more charm of a mature woman.
She is not greedy for money, does not seize power, and only takes care of four children on her own one-third of an acre of land, but she has a good relationship with the Queen Mother Zhou.
At the time of the establishment of the reserve, Wanjia is really...unique.
"Go, get Shang Ming." Emperor Xianzong turned over and said, "Let him come to see me quickly, I have something for him to do."
"Yes." Eunuch Wynn sent someone to find Shang Ming.
In the middle of the night, Shang Ming hadn't rested yet, and when he heard the call from Emperor Xianzong, he hurried to go.
Of course it would be inconvenient if it was a foreign minister, for example Wu Youwei would not work.
But he is an eunuch who can enter and leave the court at any time.
"My lord." Shang Ming bent down as soon as he entered.
Well, I'll give you a job..." Emperor Xianzong whispered.
Shang Ming was dumbfounded...
Wu Youwei was taken home by Wantong, and the two of them fell asleep after washing up. It was too late and both were sleepy.
As a result, three days later, the Dragon Boat Festival, the morning court, after celebrating the festival, Emperor Xianzong issued an imperial decree, what is it for?
Marriage decree.
The daughter of a civil official's family married a concubine of a military general's family; or a legitimate son married a concubine's daughter-in-law;
What's even more amazing is that the daughter of the military commander's family who dances guns well is married to the son of a weak civil official's family!
Hahaha!
After such a toss, without saying a word in the morning, half of the show girls were married.
It was Shang Ming who read the edict, not Huai En.
"Your majesty, this old minister...the old minister's child,..." Commander-in-Chief of the Wucheng Army Ma Si wanted to object to this marriage with a groan.
"I heard that your son is a very romantic young man?" Emperor Xianzong rubbed his chin and said with a smile: "There are three confidante friends at Dashilan, two red ladies, and one clean lady, tsk tsk tsk! Drinking with people and talking about beautiful women in the harem, I think he might need a daughter-in-law.
The commander of the army and horses of the five cities is useless.
What he can't get used to the most are those civil servants, especially the Ministry of Rites. I really don't understand why there are so many etiquettes?
As for the girl who was born in the family of Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Rituals, she must pay attention to etiquette.
"Your Majesty, the youngest daughter of the minister's family is a good axe. I don't know how is the son of Master Wan's family, how is his martial arts?" The other general was much more straightforward.
This guy is not stingy, the children in the family are free-range, both men and women practice martial arts, his head gets knotted when he sees a book, and his eyelids weigh a thousand pounds.
He was born in a humble family, and his wife was the eldest lady of the escort agency. The couple did not know each other, and later gave birth to a child, who was just like his parents.
A girl can use a hundred and eighty styles of axes, not to mention chopping the other party into minced meat, it must be no problem to chop into pieces of meat!
I originally sent my daughter into the palace, but actually my daughter wanted to see what the inner courtyard of the palace is like?It's good to have something to talk about in the future, but I didn't expect to be given a marriage.
Master Wan is Wan An.
The Wan family did not send their daughters into the palace, but the Wan family has boys of the right age!
Wan An's body trembled with anger: "Your Majesty...the minister's house is full...a group of old and weak women and children..."
He knew that this general didn't deal with him, and there had been minor frictions between the two children, and each time it ended with the Wan family's child being beaten.
It can be seen how powerful the opponent's fighting power is!
"What do you mean by that? My girl can beat you all up?" The other party was unhappy: "She is not the one who does it for no reason!"
If you have a reason, you can do it.
In addition, there are some who already have intentions, and those who are married are just a layer of window paper not pierced, and they are suddenly inserted by Emperor Xianzong, and the imperial edict is read out at the court.
Emperor Xianzong saw that they were in a mess first, and no one would tell him about Xiunu. This method is really good!
After the Dragon Boat Festival, there are people in Beijing and China one after another exchanging birthday invitations, celebrating dowry gifts, and getting married.
No way, the emperor personally bestowed the marriage, and it was during the Dragon Boat Festival, who would dare to disobey the order?
I can only pinch my nose and recognize it.
Wan An, an old fox, immediately called his eighth son who was married off after returning home, and then separated the family.
Yes, he separated all the sons, his wife naturally lived with the eldest son, and the others were separated, and the eighth son was specially prepared for him because he still had a marriage gift from the emperor. , and there are also spent silver taels.
"Father, why is this?" The eighth child of the Wan family cried and said, the whole family was living a good life, but suddenly they were separated, who can bear this?
"No matter why, it's an imperial decree, and you can't resist it." Wan An was also reluctant to part with this son, who was born to his favorite concubine in the early years. He said, if there is a chance, just ask for a princess or something, that is the unfailing banner of the Wan family.
It's a pity that Emperor Xianzong didn't like it, so he directly married the daughter of a reckless man....
This kind of thing happened in many families, some were overjoyed, while others sighed.
Beijing is now lively, all right, all the wives, ladies, masters and masters are in a mess, and no one cares about the emperor anymore.
Half of the beautiful women were given marriages, and the rest of the other half were not born well.
Marriage also depends on the family. You can't match a fifth-rank official with a girl from an ordinary family, right?
And to give marriages, of course, is to cause trouble for these people.
However, also give yourself a little sweetness.
So, some people are happy and some are sad.
Emperor Xianzong returned to Zhaode Palace refreshed, and said to Wan Zhen'er: "Hahaha, who is still staring at me this time!
Wan Zhen'er was also speechless, who gave the emperor this idea?
This kind of thing, the most concerned about those women in the harem, Guan Concubine was talking with Wang Concubine in the palace: "I heard that the emperor gave half of the beautiful girls to marry!"
"Isn't that good?" Wang Pin said, "It's fine for those little goblins not to enter the palace."
They are all old people who have been in the palace for more than ten years. They are pitiful enough without their youth and grace. If those flowery newcomers really come in, is there a place for them to stand?
"Half of them are married, but the other half are still living in the palace." Concubine Guan said sourly, "It would be better if they were all sent away."
Wang Pin rolled her eyes: "Why don't you let them go?"
"How do we go?" Guan Concubine said angrily, "They're all beautiful girls, the emperor hasn't seen them yet!"
On the other side, Concubine Zhang is also talking about this matter with Concubine Ji, Concubine Zhang is fine, and has a good relationship with Ji Yanran: "I don't know what the emperor thinks, he bestows a marriage on the beautiful girl."
"The emperor has his own intentions. I wait for the women in the harem, and I don't know about the affairs of the previous court." Concubine Ji didn't care about the affairs of the court, and she didn't have her mother's family to be an official in the court.
The adoptive parents only had a big house with three entrances and three exits in central Beijing after she became Concubine Ji, as well as a farm that could support her. Some of the rewards she received were sent home for them to take care of themselves.
And they don't have a son, only her adopted daughter, she regards them as her biological parents, so she will support them until the end of their life.
Zhang Bin curled her lips when she heard this: "Sister Ji, you can't do this? Don't think for yourself, you have to think for the second prince?"
