Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 126 126 How do you know I am the Prince Consort?

The private conversation between Wang Buli and Zhu Mingxiu ended when Queen Ma arrived again.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not even send people to monitor and record what his daughter said.

Queen Ma handed Wang Buli a wooden sign.

Tell him that he can rely on this thing to enter the palace from now on, and body searches will be unnecessary.

Wang Buli took the wooden sign and thanked him.

It contains Wang Buli's name, place of origin, and some descriptions of his appearance.

On the back are engraved four characters: Prince Consort Duwei.

"Queen, did you give me the sign so early?"

"What are you doing, grown man?"

Queen Ma pretended to scold her: "Hold it carefully."

"Oh, that's good."

Is Lao Zhu so picky?

His son was given a gold medal book, and when he got to his son-in-law, he got an engraved wooden sign.

It looked like it had just been carved.

Is this wooden sign the same style as the prisoner Zhang who entered the palace with a wooden stick and beat Prince Zhu Changluo?

As for why Zhang Cha knew the way, of course someone had to secretly guide him so he could successfully find the location of Prince Zhu Changluo.

But Wang Buli immediately tucked it into his waist. It was probably after they got married that Lao Zhu was willing to give the money, right?

In other words, Zhu Mingxiu doesn't have the title of princess yet, and she won't get the title until she gets married.

When the time comes, I will exchange for a gold medal, and the title of princess will also be engraved on the brand. Now I can deal with it with a wooden card.

Wang Buli was also surprised. Did Zhu Yuanzhang not care so much about his eldest daughter?

Now the future mother-in-law and brother-in-law have met their prospective son-in-law, and even Lao Zhu, who is the emperor, has not met.

But after thinking about it for a moment, Wang Buli felt that it was normal.

Lao Zhu, a workaholic who longs for Ling Ling Qi, has no time to see his son-in-law!

Even if a biological son gets married, it is still difficult to get married, let alone a daughter.

It doesn't matter whether the sign is made of gold or wood, as long as it's easy to use.

Wang Buli then left the palace gate under the leadership of the eunuch.

"Wang Buli."

When he heard someone calling him, Wang Buli turned around and found that it was Lan Yu.

"Why is General Lan here?"

"Your Majesty is going to rest this year, so I stopped by to guard the palace gate."

Wang Buli nodded, this kind of work is usually done by close associates, and the Northern Expedition should not be rushed.

He guessed that the court wanted to take action against Yunnan first.

With the relationship between Chang Yuchun's brother-in-law, Zhu Yuanzhang and his son both had great trust in Lan Yu, and Lan Yu also demonstrated his abilities during the Northern Expedition.

If there is any war in the Ming Dynasty in the future, he will probably be selected with the third or fourth overall pick.

"It was already past noon when you entered the palace. It's getting dark now, so you came out. Have you eaten?"

"I ate some fruit to cushion my stomach."

"We've just made the move." Lan Yu took a few steps forward:

"Inviting you to dinner can be regarded as repaying the money you paid for our subordinates."

"Now?"

"Of course, since we have met, we don't like to make another appointment."

Wang Buli asked Lan Yu to borrow a step and whispered, "It might not be convenient."

"Huh?" Lan Yu was very surprised: "Do you have some plans?"

"I was arranged."

Wang Buli told Mr. Hu that he wanted to see him to learn about the counterfeit banknote case.

Lan Yu also knew that during the interrogation that night, the prime minister was writing notes for a county official, and she was afraid that she might feel a little uncomfortable.

"How can it be unclear about the transcript he made of the counterfeit banknote case?"

"Yes, this is what my immediate superior, Wuzhi County, informed me two days ago." Wang Buli spread his hands:

"It's hard for me to say no. We can't have a dinner date today."

One is Hu Weiyong and the other is Lan Yu.

Wang Buli didn't want to mess with these two people.

But when things don't go as expected, they always have to lean in.

Lan Yu squinted her eyes and thought for a while, but she could understand Hu Weiyong's intention.

His Majesty caught the attention of his subordinates who had such an expert in solving crimes.

As the prime minister, he doesn't know anything. If his majesty asks him in the future, he may not be able to explain.

"Do you need my help to position you?"

"It's such a trivial matter that the general doesn't need to take action." Wang Buli patted the wooden sign hidden at his waist:

"The Queen has just given it to me to save my life. I won't use it unless it is absolutely necessary.

But I guess, I am just a small official in the county government, and he is the prime minister, so there is no need to hold a Hongmen banquet to call me over. "

"Hahaha."

Lan Yu couldn't help laughing, but Wang Buli's words were funny.

"Xiang Yu invites Liu Bang, tut tut tut."

Lan Yu put her hands behind her back and walked away minding her own business:

"You two have the nerve to compare the two of them?"

"So I think it's more appropriate to use bullies to invite bandits."

Lan Yu stopped and looked back at Wang Buli, with a smile on her lips:

"Okay, okay, you really don't take Hu Xiang seriously. I really don't know what life-saving things the Queen gave you to make you become so arrogant."

"Here."

Wang Buli took out the wooden sign, held it in his hand, and showed it to Lan Yu.

"Captain Prince Consort"!

Four big characters hit Lan Yu's eyes hard.

Lan Yu looked at Wang Buli's movements with a look on her face: "How do you know that I became the Prince Consort?"

The last time he heard the prince and the queen asked Wang Buli respectively whether they were getting married.

Lan Yu thought it was just a polite word, nothing like you eating it.

I didn’t expect the mother and son to come together for real!

How virtuous and capable is Wang Buli?

He was actually able to honor the princess!

The current marriageable princess is estimated to be Queen Ma's eldest daughter.

Lan Yu thought to herself, what kind of bad luck did this kid have?

Wang Buli tied the badge again and hid it in his belt with a smile on his face:

"how?"

"It works so damn well."

Lan Yu clearly knows that today is a good day for her family.

But Lan Yu did not say the curse words, but stretched out her hand and silently gave a thumbs up.

You are too strong.

What did the Queen like about him?

Although Wang Buli's appearance is much better than the others, he is not as handsome as me!

Wang Buli didn't know the status of the queen's eldest daughter, but Lan Yu knew it very well.

He originally thought that the eldest daughter of the concubine would marry the eldest son of the Duke of Korea, and that the eldest daughter would marry the heirs of other Dukes besides the Duke of Korea and Duke Cao, as a show of favor.

Lan Yu really didn't expect that the emperor would marry his eldest daughter to a commoner.

A pian is not even an official.

Wang Buli suddenly jumped over the dragon gate and no longer had to struggle for the rest of his life.

This is back to the stage where studying well is not as good as growing up (consort), and being good looking is not as good as being born well.

After all, according to the logic, Wang Buli was an intruder, and he was also a first-grade (subordinate) official.

Lan Yu counted on her fingers and found that the officials pressing on Wang Bu's plow were Taishi, Taifu, Taibao, Zongrenling, Zongzheng, Zongren, the left and right governors, and the left and right prime ministers (deposed by Hu Weiyong's death).

The official position of the third wife may not be awarded to others. It is mostly given posthumously after the person dies.

Zhang Juzheng was the only civil servant in the entire Ming Dynasty who was awarded the title of Tai Tu or Grand Master during his lifetime.

In order to reach this peak, Zhang Juzheng paid a lot of price.

These three sects are almost all held by princes and belong to the descendants of Lao Zhu.

The official positions at the same level as Wang Buli are Shaoshi, Shaofu, Shaobao, Prince Taishi, Prince Taifu, Prince Taibao, Governor Tongzhi, Pingzhang Zhengshi (just abolished by Zhu Yuanzhang).

Yu Qian turned the tide and was praised as the man who extended the Ming Dynasty's life for two hundred years. After he died, he was just Yu Shaobao.

And when it came to Yu Shaobao, Yu Qian also sacrificed his life.

When Wang Buli married a daughter-in-law, he stood at the pinnacle that these Ming dynasty elites had reached in official circles throughout their lives.

There's really no fucking way to explain it.

Lan Yu looked at Wang Buli's smiling face and couldn't help but sigh.

Comparing people to each other can really make people angry easily.

"Your boy's luck really leaves me speechless."

Lan Yu waved her hands half-heartedly and went back to her home to eat.

What the hell kind of struggle?

Wang Buli doesn’t need to struggle at all!

"I'll treat you to a drink then."

Lan Yu walked faster. Because this incident had a huge impact on him, whether it was Wang Buli or His Majesty’s behavior today.

The emperor would actually marry his eldest daughter to a commoner.

I don't know whether he valued Wang Buli's ability, or whether Zhu Yuanzhang really didn't pay attention to his family background.

But this incident still had a huge impact on Lan Yu. He could see that Wang Buli was a talent worth cultivating. The emperor was so fond of him that it made sense to marry his daughter.

After the two of them got married, Lan Yu had to bow to Wang Buli first.

Wang Buli saw Lan Yu leaving in a hurry, so he took a leisurely stroll without any hurry.

Anyway, I have to go to the Prime Minister’s Mansion today.

Before Wang Buli could go too far, someone came over and said that he was invited by the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"How do you prove that you are from the prime minister's house?"

Although Wang Buli often complained that Lao Zhu was a suspicious person, he himself did not give in in this regard.

The housekeeper didn't expect that the title of Prime Minister would be so difficult to use.

He certainly knew Wang Buli's identity. He was the jailer of Jiangning County, a small official.

It would be a great blessing for the Prime Minister to invite him!

You don't just follow him, but you still show off?

Why did he still doubt himself at this point? He really made the housekeeper very angry!

In recent years, as Hu Weiyong's representative, he has also invited many people.

Whoever is invited by the Prime Minister's Office will have to identify his identity like Wang Buli.

"I just need to follow me to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"How can I follow you if you can't prove your identity?"

Wang Buli looked at the boy in front of him and said:

“I have solved a lot of cases, and there are always people who want to take revenge and assassinate me, so I have to be on guard against others.

If you are really from the prime minister's house, how could you not have an invitation?

I don't believe Hu Xiang is such a careless person. "

Butler Hu laughed angrily at Wang Buli's words.

Is it necessary to ask a county official to come over and give him a letter of greeting from a high-ranking member of the current dynasty, the prime minister?

It's a big joke.

If it spreads, it will make those noble people in the noble circle laugh.

Can Wang Buli weigh his own weight?

"Since the young master refuses to believe me, then we can only go back and tell the truth to the prime minister."

The butler was ready to make a move to retreat instead of advance.

"Well, if you don't prove it, I won't just follow anyone."

Wang Buli ignored the housekeeper and walked away.

This kind of behavior directly put Hu Weiyong's housekeeper there.

The housekeeper was very angry at Wang Buli's behavior, but he could not disobey Xiang Hu's orders.

He hurriedly asked someone to follow Wang Buli, and then hurried to the gate of the imperial city to wait for the Prime Minister to leave.

I beg you, grandpa, to tell grandma, please ask the guard to send a message to the prime minister.

When Hu Weiyong sat in the carriage and opened the curtain, he said with a smile:

"Wang Dianli, we meet again."

Wang Buli's home is not close to the imperial city, so naturally it is not as fast as the prime minister's carriage.

The butler on the side was very proud, with his nostrils turned up in the air.

"I've seen Mr. Hu." Wang Buli stood under the car and bowed.

"This is not the place to talk. Get in the car."

The bench on the side was put down. When the steward saw the prime minister behaving like this, he bent down and asked Wang Buli to hold him up to prevent him from stepping on the air and falling.

Wang Buli obeyed and got on the prime minister's carriage.

After getting into the car, Butler Hu breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this county official had a background that he didn't know about.

Otherwise, how could Hu Xiang get him in the car?

To be honest, after Wang Buli sat in, the interior space of the carriage seemed very cramped.

This is the carriage of the Prime Minister!

It is rumored that Zhang Juzheng's sedan was carried by thirty-two people and was very wide. It was carried all the way back to his hometown from Beijing. I don't know whether it is true or not.

The carriage of the prime minister in the early Ming Dynasty was really shabby.

But not everyone can sit.

For example, in the later period, Qi Jiguang inherited the position of a fourth-rank official early. However, according to Ming Dynasty regulations, high-ranking officials like him had to ride a carriage when going out.

However, Qi Jiguang's family was poor and could not afford to buy a carriage, so as an official, he tried his best not to go out to avoid losing points.

Because his father was an honest man, living only on his salary from the Ming Dynasty, and never engaged in gray income, and he also took the initiative to hand over the filial piety given to him by others.

Of course, Dashuai Qi and his father's behavior were verbally praised by Shangguan, and then nothing happened!

Because everyone is not as selfless as your surname Qi, and is it obvious to you?

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the only result of Qi Jiguang's father's behavior was that his family was very poor.

How can a fourth-grade hereditary official, whose family is very poor, fulfill the court's requirement that he must travel by carriage to be worthy of the Ming Dynasty official status?

The interior of Hu Weiyong's carriage is not shabby at all, but it is not heroic either.

He has been an independent prime minister for many days, and there is a long line of people who want to please him.

It’s hard not to have money coming in and out of this!

But this carriage always appears around the imperial city. If His Majesty encounters it, how can it be possible when the Prime Minister's carriage is so luxurious?

In terms of certain details, Hu Weiyong pays great attention to himself.

Hu Weiyong looked at Wang Buli with a good face.

"Did you just report to the prince?"

"This kind of thing should be told by Qian Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment. I am just a background partner and it is not my turn."

"Hahaha."

Hu Weiyong also knew about this, but he was just curious about what he was doing after staying in the imperial city for a long time.

"I just heard from my butler that you want him to prove that he is Hu Xiang's person?"

"That's right, otherwise I will go with anyone who claims the name of Prime Minister Hu. Wouldn't that taint the Prime Minister's name and someone might use it to cause trouble?"

After listening to Wang Buli's words, Hu Weiyong stroked his short beard and smiled: "You are a thoughtful person after all."

"Hu Xiangmiu praised it." Wang Buli leaned on the carriage and said:

"There is no peace in the capital now, so it is always right to proceed with caution."

Hu Weiyong stroked his short beard and thought about Wang Buli's words. Why is there something in this kid's words?

The prince had been chatting with him for so long, what exactly were they talking about.

As a politician, Hu Weiyong tends to think too much, especially in his position.

There is much more thought involved in dealing with human relations than in dealing with government affairs.

Not only must we learn to figure out the emperor's thoughts, but we must also join forces to keep him warm and eliminate dissidents.

Make a lot of people of your own, and squeeze out all the people who are not your own.

This is also Hu Weiyong’s ultimate goal!

The court is the court of Huaixi people, and the world is the world of Huaixi people.

Hu Weiyong can really replace Li Shanchang and become the leader of the Huaixi people.

"Wang Dianli, why do you think the capital is unsafe?"

"Too many people died."

Wang Buli said it smoothly:

"I've worked on a lot of homicide cases, many of which are still unsolved."

Hu Weiyong didn't expect Wang Buli to be involved in this and smiled:

"I guess His Majesty values ​​you very much, otherwise he wouldn't let you take charge of the investigation of counterfeit banknotes."

"I think the prince is interested in you. I have never met your majesty."

Hu Weiyong pinched his beard and nodded. The prince was in charge of this counterfeit banknote case.

The emperor was very busy every day. Even if the prince was assigned to handle some government affairs, there were so many things in the world?

Without Zhongshu Sheng giving the emperor a review, he would only be busier.

Hu Weiyong closed his eyes and took a rest. Since the counterfeit banknote case broke out, His Majesty was very dissatisfied that a memorial like Yang Man's was not sent to his case.

Therefore, Hu Weiyong carefully selected the memorials to send to the emperor, which would inevitably consume his energy.

After Hu Weiyong became prime minister, his courtyard was very close to the palace.

After the carriage entered the mansion, he was about to change his clothes and freshen up, so he sent someone to take Wang Buli for a walk around the mansion first.

The housekeeper took Wang Buli for a stroll and introduced how valuable some of the flowers and plants in the mansion were, how unique the shapes of the rocks were, what kind of precious wood the tables and chairs were made of, and how good the decorative jade was, for fear that he would not know!

How can anyone step on the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion with bare hands?

He is the first county official to do so.

So ignorant!

But when he turned around and thought about how much money the county official had, he hugged Xiang Hu's lap, and his family might be as luxurious as this in the future.

Wang Buli understood the meaning behind the steward's words, but he didn't respond and just nodded.

In fact, he didn't understand any of these things.

At first glance, he looks like a country bumpkin who doesn't understand the points of literati!

These things are not as good as Hu Weiyong taking out the gold hoarded in the secret room and showing it to Wang Buli, and then saying a few words about how awesome he is!

Wang Buli is just a layman, and it is meaningless to say those elegant things.

What's more, in Wang Buli's view, the people in this mansion are all withered bones in the grave!

It would be inappropriate to get angry with a bunch of them who have been labeled as dead.

"Master Wang, please come this way!"

Wang Buli went into the guest room and sat down to rest for a while. The housekeeper went back and told Hu Weiyong about Wang Buli's reaction.

Hu Weiyong felt a little strange: "He doesn't have the slightest bit of envy?"

"Master Xiang, I said my mouth was dry and my tongue was dry, but he didn't even answer me!"

Hu Weiyong fell into thinking. According to Wu Wei's words, the rewards he gave Wang Buli would never be rejected, but would be accepted with peace of mind.

Why did he look like he was not short of money when he arrived at the prime minister's house today, and turned a blind eye to all these good things?

Could it be that he only likes money?
