Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 81 Invitation

It can be said that Wang Dengku's going back and forth has helped Ye Xun a lot. In the capital, Ye Xun is an outsider after all, and it is almost impossible to dispose of so many valuables in a short time.

Seeing that Hu Jiucheng took away several large boxes of jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, Ye Xun couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, finally he could do something else.

In the mansion that Xu Xianchun gave him, all the housekeepers and maids were prepared. The brothers brought from Tieling were not familiar with the place of life, and some things could not be done at all.

The housekeeper's surname is also Ye. No need to ask, Xu Xianchun must have found him on purpose. As for whether this person is Jin Yiwei's eyeliner, it remains to be seen, but this possibility is not high, after all, Ye Xun is not often in the capital.

Hearing that Ye Xun called him, Steward Ye rushed over quickly. Ye Xun had too many private matters, and he had explained it when he first arrived. Without his order, no one was allowed to enter the second courtyard. The soldiers of Tieling Guard are guarding it, and no one else can get in at all.

He has been busy with various things for the past few days, and Ye Xun didn't have time to observe this family carefully until now.

About fifty years old, a little thin, with a popular face, I feel pretty good, I should be a very simple and scheming person.

"Butler Ye, right? Hehe! That's right, it was a family 500 years ago, and I'm going to Liaodong in three days, so I'll leave this place to you."

Butler Ye hurriedly said: "Master, you are too polite. I have heard that you killed the Tartars in Liaodong. You are a great hero. I didn't expect you to be so kind. It is a blessing to be able to serve the master."

"I haven't been back to the capital for a long time, and I don't know much about the situation in the capital. You can book a better restaurant for me in a while, and then send me two invitations."

Since Ye Xun came to Beijing, both Xu Xianchun and Sun Lun have been very polite to him. Although he knows that the two people's minds are not that simple, they still have to be polite, so Ye Xun is going to treat them to a meal. By the way I'm preparing some gifts, he will definitely use them when he is not in the capital.

The housekeeper agreed, and seeing that Ye Xun had no other orders, he quickly turned around and walked away. Liang Zhen had already prepared the silver taels for him outside.

Of course, Ye Xun couldn't be stingy with his housekeeper, and when he was away, the housekeeper had to manage such a big house for him, which would save money. For this reason, Ye Xun had already prepared 5000 taels of silver for the housekeeper for his use.

After finishing this matter, there is one last thing to do, which was thought up by Ye Xun on the spur of the moment, that is to hire some craftsmen who are proficient in firearms manufacturing and blacksmithing with a lot of money.

Liaodong is waiting to be rejuvenated, and what is most lacking are all kinds of talents, especially in the field of weapon development. The capital gathers talents from all over the world. It must not be difficult to find such people!

However, the status of craftsmen is generally low in this era. Ye Xun believes that although Liaodong has frequent wars, as long as he offers enough chips to attract people's hearts, there will still be people who will go.

In fact, this matter can be mentioned to Wanli, but Ye Xun has caused too much trouble for Wanli in just a few days, and Ye Xun is too embarrassed to speak up.

It's not that Ye Xun's face is so thin, it's because Wanli kicked him out without giving him any time to raise any conditions.

There was no other way, Ye Xun had no choice but to recruit by himself.

Under normal circumstances, the department that manufactures weapons is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, and the capital also has a special military equipment depot. It's just that Ye Xun's time in Beijing is too short, and he doesn't have time to contact the officials who manage these departments.

Where should I start?

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Liang Zhen striding in.

"Eunuch, there is a person who claims to be Fang Ge's old subordinate, begging to see him outside the door."

After hearing Liang Zhen's words, Ye Xun was slightly taken aback. Isn't Fang Ge the same as Fang Congzhe?What is he looking for me for?I don't seem to know him well!

Ye Xun knew that although Fang Congzhe recommended Yang Hao, Fang Congzhe was not a corrupt official, and he had been struggling to support the cabinet all the time.

It’s amazing to say that in the last years of Wanli, there was really only Fang Congzhe in the majestic cabinet of the Ming Dynasty. It’s not because old Fang was so capable, but Wanli didn’t send him any helpers at all, and he wasn’t even allowed to resign. Obviously, he just wanted to play around. The rhythm of the dead old Fang.

After Ye Xun arrived in Beijing, he only saw Fang Congzhe once in Wanli's study, and he didn't even say a word, but he didn't know what he was looking for him for.

Except for Xu Xianchun, the head of Jinyiwei, Ye Xun did not plan to have any social relations with any court officials this time, but Fang Congzhe was the chief assistant of the court after all, and the people he sent had to be seen.

Immediately asked Liang Zhen to invite people in, and at the same time called two servant girls in the front yard. Anyway, all the things that should be dealt with had been dealt with, and these chores were still not for his own soldiers.

Not long after, an old man with the appearance of a butler followed Liang Zhen and walked in quickly. After seeing Ye Xun, he bowed and said, "I have seen Eunuch Ye."

Ye Xun nodded and said, "Are you Fang Shoufu's family? But Fang Shoufu wants to find me?"

The old man nodded and said: "Today, after my master came down from the court, he immediately ordered the villain to come and invite the father-in-law to go over the house to talk about it."

Although he guessed it by himself, Ye Xun was still a little surprised. Why did Fang Congzhe suddenly want to find him? Could it be because of Zheng Chuang?
"Mr. Fangge, did you ever say why you want me to go?"

The old man shook his head and said, "The villain doesn't know, the master only said that Eunuch Ye is going back to Liaodong, and he wants to talk to Eunuch Ye about something."

What are you talking about?Do you still want me to speak for Yang Hao?That trash caused Daming to lose hundreds of thousands of troops at once, and he still wanted to get rid of the crime, how shameless this person is.

Of course, Ye Xun couldn't say these words to a servant. Anyway, Xu Xianchun and the others were in the evening, and there was still time. After explaining, he took two guards and followed the old man to Fang Congzhe's mansion.

In fact, Ye Xun has wronged Fang Congzhe a bit. In fact, he hates Yang Gao more than anyone else, but there is no way. The emperor oppressed him above, and his colleagues below him were obedient and disobedient, and that would really kill him.

Fang Congzhe didn't want to engage in any party disputes, but the whole court was like this, and that person couldn't control it at all.

The reason why Fang Congzhe wanted to find Ye Xun could be said to be entirely out of publicity, and at the same time he also wanted to see what kind of person this little Eunuch Ye was.

Because of Wanli's relationship, the relationship between the eunuchs and the ministers was considered harmonious during the Wanli dynasty, so Fang Congzhe, the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty, did not despise Ye Xun because of his status as a eunuch.

It is said that the nobleman goes out with a lot of wind and rain, and the sky is still clear in the morning, but when Ye Xun went out, it suddenly became gloomy.

It was mid-April at this time, and although the earth had already melted, the weather was still relatively cold. It seemed that rain was about to fall in such weather.

Ye Xun didn't know the poetry coming from there, and whispered to the sky: "Spring rain is as expensive as oil, let it go, let it go!"

Before he finished speaking, a stern light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he swept to the side of the road.
