Chapter 205
On the way back, Sun Dan was very depressed.

He never expected that Huang Jin would come up with his own ideas. He remembered that when we worked together in the Lu Family Bank, although we didn't have any deep friendship, on the surface they were still very happy and harmonious.Now that Jiajing has ascended the throne, as Jiajing Longqian's right-hand man, he and Huang Jin should complement each other.

It's a pity that Huang Jin just wants to touch Sun Dan, completely disregarding his past affection.

In fact, the reason why eunuch Huang did this is nothing more than power and money.When the new king ascends the throne, the personnel of the court will definitely change greatly, which will involve the distribution of many benefits.This point is even more cruel in the palace full of conspiracies and tricks, which Bi Yun has made very clear just now.In the eyes of outsiders, he, Sun Dan, and Bi Yun are in the same group. If you want to attack Bi Yun, you have to get rid of Sun Dan first.

As for money, the profits of Lu Family Bank are obvious. As one of the largest shareholders, even if he does nothing, Sun Dan may become one of the richest people in the country within ten years.

The shareholding of the Lu family bank is in the hands of several people: the emperor, Huang Jin, Lu Bing, Sun Dan and several Huizhou merchants.Not to mention the emperor's shares; Lu Bing had a special relationship with the emperor, so no one dared to touch it; as for Huizhou merchants, they had inextricable business contacts with Xingwangfu and Lu's family a few years ago.Moreover, the shares in their hands are very small, and they are scattered in the hands of more than a dozen companies.If one of them is moved, others can be alerted.

After all, Sun Dan has really become the best choice for those who are interested.To bring down Sun Dan will not only deal a blow to the Dongchang power that Bi Yun had established in the palace, but also make a fortune.

Because eunuchs are physically disabled, most of them are mentally abnormal, and they attach great importance to the word power and money.Once he seized the opportunity to frame him, Sun Dan, he would never let it go.

Once he figured this out, Sun Dan could only smile wryly: Maybe, in the eyes of the people in Prince Xing's Mansion, I am still an outsider!In the eyes of the old people in the emperor's mansion, Sun Dan, who was on the road halfway, was just here to share the credit.

From Sun Dan's point of view, the group of people in Xingwang's Mansion really don't have many talents.Huang Jin made a grass bag, and the others didn't see any real skills.As for Lu Bing, he was just an older child.Moreover, he seems to have a sticky personality. Whenever he encounters a big event, he always likes to hide by the side and make soy sauce. He is not a person worth relying on.

However, Huang Jin brazenly launched an attack on Sun Dan, isn't it a bit too exaggerated.Moreover, Sun Dan is now in the midst of his holy family, and these unscrupulous means cannot cause any harm to Sun Dan at all.Although Huang Jin was stupid, he wouldn't be so stupid as to use dirty tricks to deal with him, would he?

Sun Dan thought for a long time, but couldn't figure it out.

If he wanted to overthrow his grandson completely and seize his property, he would have to commit an unforgivable felony, so that he could justifiably get his shares.

is it possible?

Maybe, Huang Jin is now in control of the East Factory, with the secret service at his fingertips, so it is still possible to make trouble.

Thinking of this, Sun Dan was startled.He suddenly realized that he is just a little scholar now, and he is easily framed by others.Even if he is very famous and his family is very prosperous, he is still a small person in the capital.If you want to get rid of this embarrassing identity, you really have to get an official status.As long as he has a reputation for raising people, he can smoothly take up the post of county magistrate, help the emperor create a "special zone" and carry out pilot tax reform.At that time, with the emperor's life in hand, no one would dare to do anything to Sun Dan.

Therefore, the first task now is to test a candidate.

Sun Dan is still very confident about the autumn of Shuntian Mansion in a few days.

There was a sneer on the corner of his mouth: Eunuch Huang, we have a long life to come, Jiajing has been in power for more than 40 years, you and I have plenty of opportunities to get close.

*************************************
Inside, Zhang Guifei's bedroom.

Entering August, the midsummer of Zhengde 16 seems to be not as hot as in previous years.However, unlike Anlu, in order to guard against assassins, it is not allowed to plant trees in the palace, so as not to provide a hiding place for the villains.Therefore, the heat island effect is particularly obvious in the Forbidden City.

Unlike Xiyuan, where there are mountains and waters, and the "Tianzi Xiongfeng" passing through the hall, there is no wind in the palace, and it is as hot as a steamer.

The curtains hanging around the main hall have not been touched since yesterday, and they hang down lazily.

Although there were a lot of ice cubes in Concubine Zhang's room to cool off the heat, she was still so hot that she couldn't stop sweating. She felt as if her body had fallen into hot soup, and she was even more irritable and wanted to curse.

The rules of the palace are much stricter than those of the previous palaces. In such a hot day, not to mention the eunuchs and maids, even she has to wear long clothes according to the rules.After covering for ten days in a row, the prickly heat came out.

After taking a sip of Radix Banlangen from the Tai Hospital to cool off the summer heat, Concubine Zhang's body sweated like raindrops, soaking her entire body in an instant, and the prickly heat on her body was even more itchy from the sweat.

Recalling the cool wind in Hubei and the shade in Anlu's palace, Zhang Guifei felt a little depressed.

"This is the spun yarn sent by Jiang Ning. Look, my concubine, the flowers and birds are so well embroidered!" A slender and pale hand ran across the spun yarn, and the yellow spun yarn was also under the fingers. Rippling like running water.The magpies embroidered on it seem to be flying into the air, playing among the flowers.

This piece of yellow also flickers in the ripples, the color is either dark or light, uncontrollable like a dream or a fantasy.

It was Huang Jin who spoke, and as he spoke, he cast his eyes on Concubine Zhang Gui, and secretly praised in his heart: This woman is not bad!

Concubine Zhang Guifei's clothes were tightly attached to her body, revealing her graceful curves dripping wet, which was quite seductive.

Huang Jin has a yin body, so he didn't have any physiological reactions, and his heart was peaceful.But even he was not exempt from an appreciation for the beautiful.

Noticing Huang Jin's strange gaze, Concubine Zhang Guifei spit out a mouthful, and said a little embarrassedly, "Huang Ban, what are you looking at?"

Huang Jin came to his senses now, and said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, you don't need to treat this old slave as a man, our servants don't have gender at all."

Concubine Zhang was taken aback for a long time before she said: "It's getting hot, Huang Ban, I think this city of Beijing is much hotter than Anlu. I didn't expect how the north is hotter than the south."

Huang Jin smiled and said: "It's like this in the north. It's hot in summer and cold in winter. It's not comparable to Huguang. By the way, empress, these few pieces of yarn are what you like. If you like it, you can keep it."

"Is this sent by His Majesty?" Concubine Zhang was overwhelmed by these exquisite spun yarns, she had no idea that there were such beautiful things in the world.

Huang Jin: "Long Live Lord is busy with state affairs, so there is no time to take care of these chores. The queen and the old slaves sent them to the empress. Hey, there is not much money in this palace. Seeing that summer is coming to an end, summer clothes are now in order. , it caused the ladies to suffer a lot of grievances, and this old slave can't bear it very much." He rambled on for a long time, but Concubine Zhang didn't listen to a word.

Her complexion changed, and she grabbed the piece of silk angrily and threw it on the ground: "I don't care if anyone asks her to give it to me. I really thought she was the head of the family. Your Majesty hasn't been to her since he entered Beijing."

With a bitter face, Huang Jin lowered his body and picked up the piece of silk, handed it to a court lady, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Long Live Lord is a half-immortal body with sharp eyes and ears. If your Majesty says such things, he will know."

Concubine Zhang's complexion changed, she pondered for a long time before saying to the maid: "Put it away."

"Yes." The maid stepped back.

The door is closed.

Concubine Zhang: "Huang Ban, I asked you to help me find my family in Gao Tang, do you have any clues?"

Huang Jin still had a bitter face: "I'm looking for someone, I guess there will be news back in a while."

"That's good. There are only a few relatives in my natal family, and life is hard. It's been a few years, and I don't know how they are doing. Now that I am in the palace, I have to take care of them no matter what." Concubine Zhang's complexion improved, and she sighed: "Huang Ban, you have worked hard on this matter, I planned to reward you with something. However, life in this palace is much more difficult than in the previous palace, and there is nothing to give. "

Huang Jin is also a wealthy man now, and he doesn't look down on ordinary things.He secretly laughed in his heart, but he didn't know what to say, he just said: "Your Majesty, although His Majesty's family property is now bigger, the expenses in the palace are also a hundred times higher than before. It is not an easy task for so many people to spend on food and drink."

"Hmph, now that the empress is in charge, it is possible to be mean to us concubines." Concubine Zhang snorted, "It seems that it is impossible to get her to be kind. By the way, Huang Ban, what happened to that?" Now, how much money can I get?"

Hearing her question, Huang Jin was thrilled, and replied in a low voice: "Everything has been settled, it should be no problem to buy him three to five hundred taels per copy. It doesn't need too much, just sell dozens of copies , is a huge income.”

"That's good." Zhang Guifei breathed a sigh of relief, and said bitterly: "It's not that I'm greedy for money, I just can't get angry with someone's arrogance and domineering, and I want to make her uncomfortable. You don't want to take care of things in the palace. , not to win people's hearts. Even if you are favored by the Long Live Lord again, but you can't stop others from saying bad things about you in front of His Majesty all the time, I am also forced by others."

Huang Jin nodded secretly, and said in his heart: "The fact that several empresses in this palace are vying for favor is already on the surface. This palace is the most intriguing place in the world. The people inside are more greedy than the other. If there is no practical benefit, no one will help you. Speaking of it, this Concubine Zhang is much smarter than Empress Chen who doesn't understand anything, and now she is deeply favored by His Majesty, so she is a person worthy of cooperation."

Concubine Zhang Guifei secretly laughed and said: "This matter was accidentally leaked by the Lord Long Live when he came to me a few days ago. In order to prove this matter, I also secretly looked at the object in his hand. It would be strange if I didn't use it as a trick. pity."

Huang Jin's complexion changed drastically, and he complained softly: "Mother, this matter is related to the lives of thousands of people. If it is really leaked out, the heads will fall to the ground. At that time, not only the old slave's life will be lost, but the empress will also die. Trapped in the Clothes Bureau. Therefore, this matter must never be told to a third person."

Concubine Zhang Gui recalled how bad it was, her sweaty face turned pale.His chest also heaved up and down due to fear, and the wet clothes stuck to his skin, with two dots faintly flashing on it.

Huang Jin's eyes were a little dazed, and he hurriedly buried his head down.
