Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 486 Identity Disclosure
"Gao Feng!"

Jiang Bin said.

"Ok?"

Qin Shao couldn't remember the name for a while, but he always felt familiar.

"One of the eight servants when the late emperor was here."

Jiang Bin explained.

It was only now that Qin Shao remembered why this person's name was familiar.

This person was one of the "eight tigers" favored by Emperor Zhengde Zhu Houzhao during his reign.

It's just that Gao Feng is older and more stable. After hearing that Liu Jin had an accident, Gao Feng returned to his hometown with an excuse of poor health.

Unexpectedly, this Gao Feng was also from the Hejian Mansion.

It seems that the name Hejian Mansion is the hometown of eunuchs is not built!
This Gao Feng was able to retreat bravely, it seems that he is also a smart person.

……

Their orders came out quickly.

A few special side dishes, and then a full feast of donkey meat.

Donkey meat fire, spicy donkey meat jerky, garlic donkey jerky, donkey steak with abalone sauce, steamed donkey brain, fresh donkey meat soup pot...

There was a full table.

A few people rushed to the present, drank some water and ate some dry food on the way, and they were already hungry at this moment, so they didn't say so much, and just started to eat.

"Grandfathers..."

When the few people were eating about the same, there was a knock on the door from Xiaoer outside.

Jiang Bin sat near the door and got up to open the door.

"Gentlemen, this is the special soup that the shop presents to everyone. It is only available in VIP rooms. You can try it!"

The little girl put a cup of soup on the table with a smile all over her face.

"What kind of soup is this?"

Wang Yun lifted the lid and stirred it with a spoon. Seeing that the soup was good, he prepared to serve Qin Shao a bowl.

"This is donkey treasure soup. It uses the most precious part of the donkey. Drinking it can strengthen your body and show off your glory..."

Xiaoer introduced.

"Okay, thank you shopkeeper, let's go down!"

Qin Shao signaled Xiao Er to go out.

"Master, why don't you let him introduce, what treasure is so powerful on the donkey!"

Wang Yin was a little puzzled.

"What else can strengthen the body and show off its glory, of course it is the donkey whip!"

Wang Yun couldn't help bursting into laughter, which made Wang Yin blush.

"It's time for you to find a woman to start a family! If you really can't find one, go back and see if there are any good-looking, virtuous housekeepers in the capital, and I can designate one for you!"

Qin Shao glanced at Wang Yin and said with a smile.

Now the people around are basically getting married!

It was Xiao Sanzi, who heard that Jiang Hong had a niece who wanted to point it out to Xiao Sanzi in the future, and asked his own opinion in the memorial.

It turned out that Wang Hong's elder brother had gone, leaving only a widowed wife and niece.

The conditions of the Wang family are pretty good. Brother Wang Hong was a magistrate before his death, and the family is considered well-to-do.

Wang Hong liked the third son very much when he saw him, thinking that his parents were gone, and the two older brothers had already married, so there was no need for the third son to inherit the family business.

He just thought about pointing out his niece to the third son, and after giving birth to a few more children, one of them can be reserved for his brother.

The youngest son said that he had to listen to the opinion of the emperor and queen about his marriage, and Wang Hong mentioned this matter during the process of going up.

When the third son came back earlier, Qin Shao asked his opinion, but the third son said that he didn't know, and he and Han Jinrong were the ones to decide.

Qin Shao is a little funny, this kid is all about going out and running, and his temperament has not yet settled down, so he probably needs to be more mature if he wants to get married.

Qin Shao asked Han Jinrong for his opinion.

Han Jinrong felt that this was a good relative.

The Wang family is a family of poems and books. The reason why they like the third son is that this kid is really smart. Now that he is open, he can be regarded as a handsome young man.

Of course, Wang Hong probably felt that his sister-in-law and niece were a bit weak in supporting the family, and that the third son had an unusual relationship with the new emperor, so he also wanted to find support for them.

But as far as the third son is concerned, although there is a relationship between Qin Shao and Han Jinrong, his parents are not there, and the two elder brothers are also honest and honest people. Not to mention helping the third son, they still need the third son's subsidy now.

The third son doesn't study much, if he has such a wealthy wife from a family of poetry and books to help him, it will be really good for his future life and children's education.

Besides, Wang Hong is a good person, and his family style must be very good.

Qin Shao proposed to wait two years until the two children are older before making a decision.

In a word, the young third son's marriage has been settled now, and Wang Yin is still alone. Qin Shao naturally hopes that he will settle down as soon as possible.

Qin Shao understands that although the youngest son has suffered a lot, he has a cheerful personality and is considered a relatively healthy person, so he naturally does not reject marriage and family.

But Wang Yin rejected marriage and family because of the shadow of his family in the early years.

Relatives are ineffective, especially the framing and betrayal of relatives is the most terrible and serious.

Just like him, if it wasn't for meeting Han Jinrong on the way to escape and redeeming each other, to be honest, he probably still rejected marriage as in his previous life, and was still single like Wang Yin.

Now he has lost sight of many problems in his previous life, especially when he sees the children in his family, who are full of happiness and hope for life.

So regarding Wang Yin's passive situation, Qin Shao felt that sometimes they actually need them to assist, which might be better.

A few people were talking and laughing at this donkey treasure soup.

Suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside, the footsteps were very complicated, obviously there were many people
Jiang Bin, Wang Yin and others quickly stood up.

"Chen Niu Tianlin pays homage to His Majesty!"

"Xiaomin Gao Feng pays homage to His Majesty!"

……

……

As the footsteps stopped, there was a knocking sound of kneeling.

Jiang Bin opened the door and saw dozens of people kneeling outside the door. They were dressed in official uniforms, obviously officials from the city.

One of them served as a normal servant, apparently Gao Feng.

Why are there so many people here all of a sudden?
How do these people know His Majesty is here?
When Jiang Bin saw Gao Feng, he seemed to understand something.

If nothing else happened, Gao Feng should have recognized him when he showed up earlier.

They both served Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao before, so they were familiar with each other, but they hadn't seen each other for many years. Jiang Bin didn't expect that Gao Feng really recognized him.

The identity had been leaked, and Qin Shao didn't want to hide it anymore, so he accepted everyone's kneeling and worshiping openly, let people come in, and identified the officials who came one by one.

They are basically officials from the state capital. Qin Shao saw that except for the few in front who were wearing official uniforms, there were some people in the back who were just serving in ordinary clothes.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are investigating the case not far away. Master Gao and the minister are old acquaintances. He saw Jiang Dudu when he was eating here, but he was not sure if it was true, so he asked the minister to confirm. I don't know where your majesty is married. , If you are far away, please, His Majesty Wan Wang, don't punish me!"

Niu Tianlin bowed directly.

"Your Majesty, Xiaomin Gao Feng, once served in the Palace of the First Emperor, and I knew Jiang Dudu before, but I haven't seen each other for many years, so I can't confirm it. I am worried about admitting my mistake, and I am even more worried that Your Majesty will come to Hejian Mansion. We will not come to serve you. , so I notified Niu Zhifu, His Majesty Wanwang will make amends!"

Gao Feng fell to his knees directly.

Qin Shao looked at Gao Feng, his hair was already grey. He heard from Jiang Bin that he was older among the Eight Tigers, but he was in good spirits and in good spirits.

This man is impeccable in his words and deeds, he is indeed a smart man.

According to ordinary people's thinking, he can be regarded as an old minister of the former court. After confirmation, he could come to visit the new emperor and show off his relationship with Lala.

However, he gave up this opportunity to succeed, and gave the opportunity to Niu Tianlin. Let Niu Tianlin take the lead, which seemed like a disadvantageous move, but in fact, his tactful knowledge of life was hidden in it.

No matter what he was, after all, he was an eunuch from the previous dynasty, and now he is a commoner returning to his hometown, and he is also old. Even if he showed his face in front of the emperor, it was impossible for him to be reused.

First of all, he is old, and secondly, although the new emperor has internal officials brought by Qiandi, he does not seem to want to make a big deal of important internal officials, but has cultivated many direct descendants around him.

Moreover, it is well known that the tens of thousands of eunuchs in the palace were sent by the new emperor to settle down in the capital farm and returned to their original places. The new emperor did not want to reuse the internal officials.

In addition, in the past few years since the new emperor took office, the palace has not recruited any internal officials. Even in Hejian Mansion, the hometown of eunuchs, many people have given up on being internal officials.

As a smart person, Gao Feng naturally understood this.

Niu Tianlin said that he and Gao Feng were old acquaintances, but it was just a nice excuse.

The real situation is probably that Gao Feng gave Niu Tianlin the opportunity to meet the new emperor, and Niu Tianlin accepted it and accepted it.

"Get up!"

Qin Shao asked everyone to get up.

There were too many people, and after seeing some of them, Qin Shao only let Niu Tianlin and Gao Feng stay.

Even though Gao Feng was only an internal official, he was considered a former minister and had never done anything out of the ordinary.

Qin Shao asked him to stay because he didn't dislike him. Of course, he also wanted to show kindness to the old officials and show them to the current officials:
As long as you work hard, even if you retire one day, the imperial court will treat you well.

Gao Feng was very sensible, and was left behind by Qin Shao, but just stood aside to accompany him, and didn't say much.

Qin Shao talked to Niu Tianlin about the situation here in Hejian Mansion.

Although Hejian Prefecture is a plain, the soil is relatively barren and thin, natural disasters are frequent, and the grain production is actually not high.

Generally speaking, Hejian Prefecture is an area with relatively backward agriculture. This is why people in Hejian Prefecture often think of making a living outside and working as internal officials in the capital. After all, it is also for food and clothing.

In the past, there were many kinds of food crops grown here in Hejian Prefecture, mainly wheat, millet, beams, and beans.

Although there are many, the overall output is very low. In the end, the output of wheat is relatively higher.

The soil quality and weather conditions here in Hejian are more suitable for the imbalance of wheat, but it also depends on the weather. Spring drought is prone to occur here in Hejian Prefecture. If the drought lasts for a long time, the growth of wheat will be easily affected.

This is no different from his previous life, where he can irrigate by himself. Today's Daming still depends on the harvest of the sky after all!

Generally speaking, Hejian Mansion has never been able to solve the problem of food and clothing in the past.

Once there is a need to supply food to the capital and the northern garrison, let alone the life of the local residents.

"Your Majesty! Last spring was too dry, and the wheat yield was very low. Fortunately, the imperial court ordered sweet potatoes and yam eggs to be replanted. The people's food and clothing were satisfied. Now it is spring again. The spring rain has not been falling recently. I am worried that there will be another drought. The canals were completed last year to allow irrigation of fields in areas adjacent to the river."

Niu Tianlin reported the agricultural harvest and problems of Hejian Mansion in recent years.

Qin Shao nodded. Although Qin Shao disagreed with their passive approach to the disaster, this matter cannot be resolved in a short while, and a specific countermeasure must be taken later to be a good strategy.

Since the private visit of the emperor's micro-service was discovered, it was naturally at the invitation of Niu Tianlin and the others to stay in the government office.

It's just that Qin Shao told Niu Tianlin not to reveal his trip, and all the officials dispersed quickly under Niu Tianlin's arrangement. As for the owner of Yingxiang Pavilion, although he knew the emperor was coming, he naturally didn't dare to make it public. It has been dispersed by the officers and soldiers, and there is no way to know what happened inside.

……

As soon as Wang Yun came out of the hut with his waist tied up, he saw a figure appearing in front of him.

"Commander!"

The man called out to Wang Yun.

Wang Yun didn't mention the room. A person would suddenly jump out from the hut, and he was so frightened that his hakama pants almost fell off.

I am used to reaching for the saber, remembering that I went to the latrine and didn't bring that thing with me at all.

"Prefect Niu, why are you standing here?"

After seeing who was coming, Wang Yun's jaw almost dropped.

This... Why is this Niu Tianlin standing near this hut?
Although they lived in the mansion, Niu Tianlin gave them the best yard behind the mansion, but their family moved to a small yard next to it. , How did you run to the hut here?

Fortunately, this hut is remote, they use this one, the emperor uses another one alone, if the emperor goes to the hut, this Niu Tianlin suddenly appears...

Thinking of this, Wang Yun's expression was a little cold.

"Commander Wang...I'm...I want to ask you something. I heard from your guard that you came here. I...I'm just waiting here, I didn't mean to..."

Niu Tianlin was a little apprehensive, he was too eager, and forgot that he was too hasty. At first, the way Commander Wang hurriedly put on his trouser belt fell into his eyes, and then he realized that it was really inappropriate for him to be so close here.

"If you have anything to say, you don't need to be in this hut..."

Wang Yun was a little helpless, and walked forward, the smell was not so fresh at the hut.

Niu Tianlin followed closely.

"what's up?"

Walking to a secluded place, Wang Yun stopped and asked.

It was night now, and it was already dark, so Niu Tianlin must have something to do when he came to find him.

"Commander, Your Majesty... Your Majesty is seeing His Majesty for the first time, and I haven't received a holy car in this Hejian Mansion. I don't have much experience. I have heard that the Commander is a corporal and is familiar with Your Majesty. I just want to ask the commander a thing or two... Your Majesty is here, will our hospitality be..."

Niu Tianlin said hesitantly.

The words in it were suspected of flattering Wang Yun, but fortunately it was not an exaggeration, and Wang Yun did not have much dislike for this person.

The new emperor's first microservice visit was indeed too surprising for the magistrates, and how to entertain them was indeed a big problem.

Although the imperial court has a unified hospitality standard for officials on business trips, there is no express regulation on how the emperor should entertain them when they travel.

After the new emperor came to power, in order to curb eating and drinking and guard against corruption and corruption, he directly ordered officials to visit the entertainment specifications and travel subsidies granted by the court. If they exceed the specifications or violate the measures, they will be punished.

Can not help but punish travel officials and severely punish local officials.

There were three people accompanying Qin Shao this time. The reason why Niu Tianlin came to find Wang Yun was after some consideration.

Although Jiang Bin was a favorite of the two dynasties, he has a cold face and a cold heart, as if he only has eyes for the new emperor.

Hearing that Gao Feng wanted to meet him, Jiang Bin directly refused.

Considering that the two of them were originally the favored ministers of the late emperor, Gao Feng was very favored by the late emperor's side before, and took care of Jiang Bin, but Jiang Bin was like this, let alone a person of his status went to ask for advice.

As for the other commander of Wang Yin, Niu Tianlin is not familiar with it, but he knows that it was brought by the emperor's hidden residence, and he has been following the emperor, without saying a word or laughing. I heard that it is a knife of the emperor. hesitate.

Niu Tianlin was worried that if he went up to ask for advice, he would be directly sentenced to speculate on the holy will by that cold-faced Hades-like person, and it would not be impossible to cut himself.

Among the three, Wang Yun was the emperor's cousin. Although this man was neat, he was more mature and gentle.

Niu Tianlin can only find him if he chooses the general among the cripples!
When the emperor came to the government office, he was only allowed to be entertained according to the business trip treatment of third-rank officials. The hospitality was really simple, and the dinner was only a few stir-fried, steamed buns and sweet potato porridge.

When Niu Tianlin saw those eating at the end of the kitchen, he couldn't stop trembling in his heart. He didn't dare to rest at all this night, so he came to Wang Yun for advice after thinking about it for a long time.

Knowing that he had come to the hut, which was hidden, he stood outside and waited for a long time.

"Prefect Niu really wants me to give you some advice?"
