eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 273 One million taels!
Meng Ying followed Mei Kejia to enter the Mei Mansion. The identity of the girl's family was really an embarrassing question.

The main reason is that when Mei Kejia had a criminal record when he was young, he liked to buy some beautiful maids. Now that he has been away for many years and brought one back, what will his family think?
Hey, Lao Mei has a headache.

But this thought is far less than the missing of the family.

The so-called closeness to the hometown is even more timid. When the carriage really stopped at the gate of Mei Mansion, he was a little afraid to go in.

"Master Mei?" Meng Ying called softly, "What's wrong?"

Mei Kejia looked at the word "Mei Zhai" hanging on a high place through the gap in the curtain, and said softly: "Before your father brings back the sweet potato seeds, you should stay here first. I will let someone leave you alone." Find a small courtyard. You don’t have to worry about the daily expenses.”

Meng Ying didn't understand, "Why am I here? The emperor has ordered my father to commit crimes and meritorious deeds. I want to go back and see my father!"

Maya sighed.

He turned to look at the Fujian girl.If you look closely, there are actually some small spots under her eyes, which are very faint, but you can see them.Probably sunburned or something.It's not really ugly.It's just slightly different from the beautiful maid Gu Shi he once bought.Gu Shi probably has the blood of the Western Regions, his face is cold and pale, without any slight blemishes.

"Who do you think you are facing? The painting on the piece of embroidered cloth made the emperor let your father go?"

Meng Ying was a little sluggish, "But... the emperor you said wants this thing."

"The key is that we didn't bring it. If we did, look at His Majesty's eagerness. Under the joy of Long Yan, let alone let someone else go, even if you are given the official status of your father, it will be fine."

"Of course I know that." Meng Ying was a little anxious, "Master Mei, I'm not stupid. Since I know that the emperor loves this thing, I will definitely try my best to find it. When the time comes, I will offer the treasure and receive the reward. better?"

"That's the truth. But in front of the emperor, neither you nor I dare to say this truth. In addition, His Majesty is not familiar with you at all, so he can only do this."

Meng Ying couldn't understand, "When did Your Majesty say that he would keep me in the capital? Did you tell Master Mei after I left?"

"No, I just said it in front of you, but I heard it, but you didn't."

Meng Ying didn't believe it.

Mei Kejia reminded, "If you are allowed to go, why do you need embroidered cloth as a token? Doesn't your father know you?"

"Just because of this, Master Mei concluded that His Majesty won't let me go?" Meng Ying opened her mouth and exclaimed, in her opinion, this was too arbitrary.

But Mei Kejia was not moved by her emotions at all, "You still don't understand today's world. Your Majesty puts the country, the country and the people of the world first when thinking about everything, and there are reasons for everything he says and does. .If you feel strange about something, there is no doubt that it must be intentional by His Majesty, and this intention must have some meaning."

"As far as this matter is concerned, if you leave without saying a word, you will be arrested and you will not say anything. Your Majesty will also think that Mei Kejia is not as good as I was back then, and will not understand his meaning. However, even if you stay Come down, feel pain in my heart, that can’t be said.”

"Because he is the emperor?"

Mei Kejia shook his head, "Because he didn't tell you to stay. Isn't it slandering Shenggong if you say that?"

Everyone who was surrounded by Meng Ying's words fainted!

"Master Mei!"

Mei Kejia raised his hand, "I know you don't believe it. But think about it, I have more contact with His Majesty, or you have more contact with His Majesty? If you still believe me, then listen to me. Stay here and wait for your father to come to you with sweet potato seeds."

Meng Ying suddenly felt that the emperor was a bit annoying, a child, but his mind was playing too deeply, "Your Majesty...why did he do this? If he is not happy, why didn't he just reprimand us?"

"What if I reprimand you? Your majesty's head is worthless to your majesty, only the seed."

This is what Mei Kejia knows, the emperor with a strong purpose.

Meng Ying couldn't figure it out at all. Can this matter be explained in this way? ?

After a while, May Kejia got out of the car.

Mei Huaigu, Mrs. Mei and the whole family were waiting, because there had been news from the palace earlier that Mei Kejia had entered Beijing.

The family reunion scene is certainly touching.

Mrs. Mei and several female members of the family wept with joy, while Mei Huaigu stood aside with a beaming face.

When they confessed their hearts to each other and saw Meng Ying standing on one side in a blink of an eye, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

Madam Mei pouted, "Master?"

Mei Kejia started scratching his head.

……

……

It was not only him who was scratching his head, but also Yan Song.

Yan Song has already made up his mind to drive Xu Youming and Xu Chang away, he really can't stand Xu Chang, even if he finds someone to help him, he is not qualified.

Speaking of which, this guy was out of his wits, so he lured Jin Yiwei to his house.

But in the interpretation of the story that the emperor needs, these two are his relatives, so he can't do this before the fish is hooked.

The tormented days of waiting were not long,

Two days later, people began to contact him.

However, to Yan Song's surprise, it was the mustache shopkeeper of the Sheng family who brought them over!The person who reminded him to stay away from the Zhan family is now acting like this again!
Yan Song's mind was greatly shocked, how could the real world be like this.

As for the man he brought, his face was long and protruding, with a raised nose and a pouty mouth, a bit like a horse's face, but a little more protruding than a horse's face.This person's surname is Fang Mingwen, and he looks like he is in his 40s.He worked in the Ministry of Officials, and his position was Wenxuan Qing Lisi Langzhong.

The position of doctor is not low among the six ministries, which is equivalent to the director of a certain department in today's ministries and commissions.Above it is the servant.

After seeing him, Yan Song understood why Zhan Xiushan became a Jinshi in the 15th year of Hongzhi, and was awarded the Guizhou Division Doctor of the Ministry of Household Affairs in 18th year.Because the Wenxuan Department of the Ministry of Officials is in charge of the promotion and transfer of civil officials.

Daming is so big, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian can get it to the Qianqing Palace for discussion.If a doctor wants the emperor to study carefully, then there will be no rule of law in this country.

So in most cases, the Department of Wenxuan fills in a name, and then reports it level by level. As long as you are trusted by your superiors, basically the things reported will not be changed or changed, because you are too busy.

This is the form of power exercised at this level.

However, compared with Yan Song at this time, he is in another pattern.

Yan Song went directly to Tianting, and whether he was promoted or not was a matter of the emperor's words. This kind of person has already jumped out of the reach of the Wenxuan Department.

What's more, Fang Wen asked Yan Song today.

"... 20 taels." Fang Wen knew it would cost money, but he didn't expect it to be so much. ah?"

Yan Song put his hands in his cuffs, "Ask the shopkeeper, if I took the silver he gave me. Then you can ask the little gangster standing in my yard why he is so unhappy. Someone Yan Those who come out of small doors and small households are short of money."

"But 20 is too much."

"Then it's 21 taels."

Fang Wen's complexion changed, and he was a little unhappy, "Servant Yan, this is adding insult to injury! We are both children of Jiangxi, so we should advance and retreat together."

"... To save that person, it is useless for me to talk about it alone. I have to send others off and ask them to open their mouths. People around His Majesty, which mouths are easy to open? If the price cannot be negotiated, then they will Forget it, if I get together for a few more years, I can still have this money. I won’t give it away.”

Fang Wen glanced at the shopkeeper,

Bazihu ​​understood, "Master Yan, look..."

However, in the middle of his speech, he was interrupted roughly by Yan Song, "What are you? You have a place to speak here?! Don't think that you have done me a favor by borrowing my house for a few days. Just move out. You can explain the situation to your Young Master Sheng yourself!"

He remembered this unhappy guy last time!
Yan Song doesn't necessarily have to avenge every grudge, but he must remember every grudge!

The mustache shopkeeper was stunned, how could he dare to explain this to Sheng Yi.A Jinshi who was finally picked up, and even entered the attendant's room is really because of him being a pornographic person.Sheng Yi had to give his legs a discount.

Anger also accumulated in Fang Wen's heart. He had never seen such a person before, so he walked away immediately!

When he got to the outside room, the shopkeeper with the mustache comforted him: "It seems that Yan Song is also a short-sighted person. He is so arrogant and domineering after a little achievement, and he will definitely not have much ability in the future. If he is not so stupid, he would not have just entered the attendant room. Dare to ask for a bribe of 20 taels! Fang Langzhong, according to the villain, it is better to use some money first and use Yan Song to rescue people. As for the future, let's see how he jumps!"

Fang Wen couldn't deny it, but the amount was too large, so he still had to go back and discuss it.

And in the courtyard, Xu Chang fumbled over from the gate, "Master, they seem to be talking bad about you!"

Yan Song didn't take it seriously, and said calmly: "Well said, well said. They are all dying people, don't let them hate me, don't let them look very close to me?"

"Also... Remember to stop them next time. Don't let them in, and don't have to talk to me, 25 taels of silver is a deal."

"Isn't it 21?"

"That door, you can come in and out at will before, but it's okay now?"

Yan Song told himself in his heart that he was a close minister of the emperor!
