Hibiscus Flower West Moon Splendid

Chapter 92
Only the big emerald flower smoker on the gold brick curls up the white smoke, slowly extending to every corner of the hall without changing its original intention.

In Rongji Hall, there was an imperial physician kneeling on the floor of Ming Kejian, his body trembling like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind, "It will be a few days before I go to Yanjia, and please, my lords, make preparations for my East Court."

Dou Yinghua waved back the imperial doctor with a cold face, stretched out his hand to brush the cuff embroidered with gold thread, and opened his special Nine Dragon Jasper Cup, only to feel a fragrance coming out of his nostrils, and raised his sword eyebrows, "Isn't this like the Longjing of the year before last?"

Bian Jing said flatteringly: "You are worthy of being Prime Minister Dou. This is the newly made Shifeng Longjing this year. It is said that the tea lady picked and processed it overnight."

Dou Yinghua remained calm, "Hasn't the trade route to the south been broken long ago?"

Gao Jinian said: "Master Xiang is right. In the ninth year of Yongye's truce in Wancheng, a merchant took the risk to sell newly produced tea and silk and cotton from the southeast. I don't want this person to enter through this trade route this year. Kyoto."

Dou Yinghua raised her eyebrows, and was about to ask which businessman dared to be so bold.If he dared to come in, someone must guarantee it, and the one who dared to open a business route for him in the court must be one of these three people.

Gao Jinian looked embarrassed, and knelt down and said: "Master, please calm down. The war in the south, plus the two droughts in the northeast, the palace repaired several halls that were damaged by flooding, and the treasury has been in short supply for a long time. It may be difficult to maintain the doubling of the old currency, and it will be difficult to distribute the salaries of the officials of various ministries this month."

Liu Hai also knelt down and said: "Master, I discussed it with my fellow practitioners and Zhengwen, and I think that for the current plan, if the court borrows money from officials, it will fall into the original counterfactual. It is really a bad policy. It is better to borrow money from merchants." , to tide over the difficulties. What does Prime Minister Dou think?"

Dou Yinghua looked pale, "Oh, who do you think you can borrow money from?"

Liu Haidao: "Master, have you ever heard the folk rumors 'Don't ask Donghai Lord, Penglai borrows money'? It is about the richest man in the southeast area, Jun Mowen. It is said that although this person was born in Yelang Mountain, he has very good business skills. Looking through the history books, I have never seen it before. He is eloquent and eloquent. He has opened up the North-South Silk Road and the Tea Road that have not been opened for five years. He is also good at child prostitution. Dali folks also say that he is Nanzhao Ziyue's male favorite, and some people say that Ziyue Ziyue was rescued by him when he was in trouble. Therefore, even if Prince Yugang blocked Nanzhao's commercial roads, he still supported him. It has opened up the tea road and provided it with a unique tea sales franchise."

Gao Jinian added: "Nanzhao has not violated our southern border for many years, most likely it is due to this king. Zhang Zhiyan's strict consideration of this person is also related to this."

Dou Yinghua took a sip of Longjing, "This tea must come from this gentleman."

"Master Xiang Mingjian, it was this person who sold it."

Dou Yinghua pondered for a moment, "Ask the merchant to borrow money, and the merchant is greedy for profit, how can I repay it?"

Gao Ji Nian said: "This person is from a common family, and he was born in a poor family. If you give him a vain job and a title, he will probably be able to dismiss him."

Dou Yinghua sneered, and looked at Gao Jinian, "Since this person can open up trade routes between the north and the south, even Zhang Zhiyan values ​​him so much, how can you underestimate him?"

Liu Hai nodded and said: "Master, I think so too. If you can do what you like and try to win over this person, you can let him help persuade Zhang Zhiyan, and even seal Zhang Zhiyan. From then on, he is The prince of the Dou family, in the future when troops are sent to the southeast, he will no longer be sloppy."

Dou Yinghua put down the teacup, and said lightly: "I'll go back to the mansion later, let's see each other."

The three bowed their heads and said yes, then stood up again.

Dou Yinghua said lightly: "Emperor Yanjia, just in the next few days, you are ready."

Bian Jing smiled and said: "The crown prince is on the throne, everything is ready."

Dou Yinghua glanced at him, smiled noncommittally.

Liu Hai scolded in a low voice: "Lord Bian is confused." Instead, he kowtowed three times to Dou Yinghua respectfully, and made a great gift from the monarch and his ministers, "I will definitely try my best to arrange the Zen ceremony of Prince Xuanyuan. Congratulations, my emperor, Congratulations to my emperor."

Gao Jinian also kowtowed three times and bowed nine times with a flattering face.

Bian Jing's hand trembled, and the celadon gold-edged teacup couldn't help but slipped to the ground, cracked and shattered, and made a clear and loud noise.His legs were shaking, he knelt down on the ground, imitating Liu Hai and Gao Jinian, and said incoherently: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Bian Jing calmed down his excitement, "Where is the queen..."

"I will naturally convince her that Lihua is from my Dou family after all."

The red sun outside the window was like a fire, but it was covered by a large cloud in an instant, the sky and the earth became dark, and the thunder and lightning faintly showed their faces in the dark clouds, moving vigorously in the air like a golden dragon, directly hitting a palace at the highest point of Zhaoming Palace ——The top ridge of Xuanhe Hall.

The golden dragon quickly disappeared, hid in the dense black clouds and sternly roared at the world, and the Xuanhe Hall suddenly burst into flames.Amidst the panic of the palace people yelling to run away from the water, the spring rain fell with a rush, as if the tears of the Xuanyuan royal family could not be stopped.

On the ninth day of March, Jun Mowen and Qi Fang braved the spring rain and went out of Xiangfu. Douzi and Jun Chunlai rushed forward to welcome the carriage with umbrellas.

In the carriage, Jun Mowen laughed loudly.

Qi Fang asked: "What method did you use to get Prime Minister Dou to agree to your unfeeling request?"

Dou Zi was driving the car outside, only to hear Jun Mo ask with a smile: "If I accept the vacant position he gave me, how can I still enter the Northwest to do business? He said that his ancestors have taught him that he has always been in business and not an official, and an official is not a businessman." But I politely asked him for the right to sell salt and ironware in the capital, as well as to open a new bank in the capital, hoping to do official business. And Bian Jing and Gao Jinian, I promised to let them share dividends, And help them buy land in the south of the Yangtze River. Naturally, they couldn't ask for it, and rescued me in front of Dou Yinghua. Dou Yinghua also took a fancy to my money, and also counted on me to send him some iron objects from Xiangtan to conquer the world. But I heard it, this Dou Yinghua wants me to help persuade Zhang Zhiyan to surrender, can you tell me if his plan is good?"

When I came to the Bieyuan in the capital, I just entered the door, and reported along the song: "Sir, Dou Shangshu just sent someone to deliver a red sandalwood bookcase to you."

Jun Mo asked suspiciously: "I have never had any contact with this Dou Yunjian, and this person has a good reputation, why did you send me something?"

He and Qi Fang walked into the study, Douzi was about to follow, but Xiaoyu called out: "Douzi, come and help me get the silk off the tree."

Douzi murmured, "Okay, why did the silk go up the tree?"

Xiaoyu's face turned red, "Please help Shangshu to get the square silk, it's just another excuse."

Dou Zi practiced with Qi Fang for three years, and his martial arts had already reached a small level, so he performed lightness kung fu and jumped onto the century-old tree.Moving to the top after a while, I saw a light yellow silk hanging on the branch, thinking to myself: "Obviously that kid Yange's martial arts is much better than mine, but he's using me, a newcomer."

He stretched out his hand to reach for the silk, and a delicate fragrance floated into his nostrils.Douzi was overjoyed, and was about to jump down and cross the dragon-back-like walled courtyard, but he saw that there were many soldiers on Chang'an Street outside the mansion, and the lights of officers and soldiers were like long dragons winding on every street, illuminating Chang'an City brightly.The soldiers were searching from house to house, and when they saw a seven or eight-year-old child, they arrested him and put him in a wooden prison cart.

Douzi slid down the tree suspiciously, and was about to hand the silk to Xiaoyu when he heard commotion in the front hall.

Qi Fang and Jun Mowen were already in the front hall, still smiling gently, but Douzi felt a little serious in his eyes.

The leader was full of flesh and blood, and looked at the jewels in the flower hall greedily, "A serious criminal has escaped, we must search your house."

Jun Mo asked with an apologetic smile: "Master Jun, please search for something important." He took off the Lantian jade finger wrench and handed it to the chief sergeant, "Master Jun has worked hard, please accept it."

The Sergeant Chief immediately grabbed his finger and looked at it by candlelight for a long time, then grinned and said, "How can you be so embarrassing?"

While talking, he quickly stuffed the wrench into his bosom with one hand.

The sergeant turned around and shouted to the soldiers: "Be gentle, if not, let's go."

All the team leaders replied that there was no one, but only two small soldiers breathed out a rosewood grape pattern box and said: "Sir, the little ones found this, it is clearly the box used by the palace."

The Master Chief's face suddenly sank, "Bold, where did this box come from?"

Jun Mo asked with a smile and was about to answer, when someone said loudly: "This box is used by me to store the books given to Boss Jun."

When everyone turned their heads, they saw a person wearing a red robe of a first-rank official, a jade belt around his waist, a square face, a long beard and a beautiful beard, walking quickly.

The Master Chief immediately knelt down, "Lord Yin."

"Two months ago, Prime Minister Dou gave me this box, and I gave it to a friend. I heard that some important criminals escaped from the palace tonight, so I came to see if the important guests of Prime Minister Dou are safe. Also, follow me to the West Lane , The person you are looking for has been found."

Yin Shen's eyes sparkled.

The sergeant commander got the order, and immediately ordered everyone to leave the palace.

Yin Shen clasped his fists at Jun Mowen, "Boss Jun, the few poems and books I gave you a few days ago are ancient relics, extremely valuable, and I will take care of you from now on." Without delay, he left with everyone holding their heads high.

Jun Mowen called out with a straight face: "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, pack up and go back to Guazhou immediately."

Everyone immediately packed their heads in suspense, and brought the box to the gate of the city.

Jun Mowen pondered for a moment, and only showed the customs clearance certificate given by Dou Yinghua. The group of people went out of the city, not daring to stay, and galloped for three days, at least throwing off the pursuers.Then he immediately changed the waterway and came to the boundary of the Yangtze River where the water surface was open. Soochow officers and soldiers came to check it. Seeing that it was Jun Mowen, they immediately let it go with a smile.

At this time, Douzi listened to the chats of the boatmen on the left and right, and only then did he know that Emperor Xizong passed away, and the empress was also buried on the same day.Dou Ting blamed Dou Yinghua for harming Xuanyuan in front of everyone, and Dou Yinghua sent him to prison. The great scholar Feng Zhangtai refused to write the enthronement edict, and all his families were executed.

The princes of all walks of life planned to take advantage of this incident to once again entangle their forces and attack the capital.Some people say that the prince is a fake, the real prince has been killed by Dou Yinghua, some people say that the real prince has escaped into the people, and so on.

Douzi didn't know why he was in a panic, and he always felt that the day Emperor Xizong died happened to be the day they drove out of the capital, which was too coincidental.But he has always been taciturn, so he just kept his voice and listened.

One day, Jun Mowen came over to let Douzi into his cabin, but he saw a young man with a face like a crown jade sitting in the cabin, he was only seven or eight years old, about the same age as the naughty Jun Xiyan, and he was obviously wearing ordinary cotton clothes , but with a kind of extravagance that cannot be ignored, he looked at Douzi calmly.

Jun Mowen smiled, "Xiaochuan, Douzi will come to serve you specially in the future."

The child nodded slightly, and glanced at Douzi, "Thank you, Qing...Thank you, uncle."

Jun Mowen coughed dryly, and said with a smile: "Douzi, this is my distant cousin, whose surname is Huang Mingchuan. From now on, you can call him Master Chuan."

Douzi seemed to understand something in his heart, but he didn't seem to understand anything. He just nodded, knelt down with his thin body, and kowtowed to him politely, "Douzi has met Master Chuan."

Master Chuan gave Douzi a little help, and said no courtesy.Douzi didn't ask any questions, but stood up and stood aside with his head bowed.

Jun Mowen nodded with approval in his eyes.

Since then, there has been another Master Chuan in Douzi's life.

This Young Master Chuan is more taciturn than him, but he doesn't seem to get along very well with Miss Xiyan, and the two have bickered and fought since they met.There is one thing that Douzi admires Miss Xiyan more, that is, she can annoy this well-bred young master Chuan.

Logically, Douzi is older than both of them, and both of them are masters, so Douzi doesn't know which side to help.

On this day, Master Chuan annoyed Xiyan again because of the phrase "unruly girl". The two first quarreled and then wrestled.

After all, Xiyan is considered to be the boss of Hope Primary School, and the group of students all made a fuss and helped Xiyan to beat Master Chuan.

Douzi winked and asked Xiaoyu to send someone to invite back Jun Mowen, who was staying overnight in the Yixiang Pavilion, while helping to rescue Master Chuan, and jumped onto the tree.Master Chuan's face was scratched by Xiyan's little hands, and he still stubbornly looked at Xiyan below. Of course, she was not much better, and her little face was also swollen.The little girl began to prepare to climb the tree to catch up and fight.

Young Master Chuan snorted heavily through his nose, and said, "If I kill Gu, I won't believe that a savage girl like you is Princess Dali."
