Chapter 688 Silver Coins (3)
Night slowly descends. On the surface of Beihu Lake in the east city outside the capital, the water is sparkling, and lake birds pass by in the night. The environment is quiet and charming.
In the faint twilight, King Ning Han of Chu and Han Jin were walking by the lakeside. The followers fell five meters away and followed from a distance. The noise in Jingyuan faintly came through the jungle and branches.
To this day, Emperor Yongzhi's ban on the two princes studying behind closed doors has long become relaxed.
King Jin and King Chu were all visiting guests openly. Since the beginning of spring, King Chu has been conducting activities and cultural conferences in Jingyuan.
King Ning Han of Chu was 22 years old at the time. He was quite handsome, slender and gentle, and smiled like a spring breeze. With his brother, King of Jin, who was 5 years older than him, there were completely two different styles of doing things.
The moon shadow was reflected on the lake. The two of them walked. Han Xiucai was half a step behind. The King of Chu sighed: "Mr. Han, can you just provoke Jia Huan like this?"
Today, the news about Yunbinlou has been passed back. It is obvious that his faction is targeted to suppress the Jia family. Even if it was not for him instructing Gao Zhiling and Yin Wuji, Jia Huan would still settle the accounts on him.
The fundamental reason why his "good brother" King Jin was defeated was that Liu Guozhong took action without permission. According to the news in the palace, King Jin was only aware of this matter. All of it was handled by Liu Guozhong.
He did not want to make such a mistake. All decisions of the Chu King Party must be made by him in person before they can be implemented.
He was a little scared about provoking Jia Huan!
From the comparison of political power and from the perspective of game, as the emperor's legitimate son, he was afraid of a scholar who lost his official position, and he didn't need to do so at all. However, from a higher perspective: Jia Huan has never failed since he became famous!
How can he not be afraid of this?
Now that the great power of fighting for the throne has reached his great advantage. First, the King of Jin is insufficient. Second, the emperor is in Xiyuan and indulges in his heart. With Empress Yang, Dugu is noble, and Princess Yongchang is present to show his beauty. How many years can he live?
Prince Shun and Guiren Shang were all dead. It was impossible for King Jin to stop offering even if Princess Yongchang stopped offering. Because that was the way Princess Yongchang was able to strengthen favor.
As long as he takes the position of crown prince now, it can be said that the throne is basically stable. At this time, his mentality is like walking on thin ice, as if he is facing the abyss, trembling, and he definitely does not want to create trouble.
Especially, it is still to provoke a ruthless person like Jia Huan and a strong man.
Han Xiucai was wearing a blue shirt, wearing a Tang scarf, and a scholarly dress. A smile appeared on his face with a confident look on his face. He said calmly: "Your Highness, Yin Wuji, Gao Zhiling, I have talked about it in private. How they choose is their business."
The King of Chu did not say anything, waiting for Han Jin's following.
The two were walking by the lakeside. Han Jin continued: "Your Highness, the Jia family's newspaper Beijing Daily recently serialized a martial arts novel: Smiling, proud and proud. The court is also like the martial arts world! Jia Huan smiled, proud and proud and unsuccessful! It looks quite scary.
However, I want to exclude the Jia family from the list of issuing silver coins, not to compete with him. Instead, seek benefits for His Highness.”
"oh?"
The King of Chu stood still and looked at Han Xiucai with great interest. He thought Han Xiucai and Jia Huan had a knot, so he was so persistent in dealing with Jia Huan. On that day, Jia Huan was in the prison, and Han Jin went to visit Jia Huan, and he knew that.
Han Jin smiled and said, "The emperor doesn't like Jia Huan. His Highness stepped on Jia Huan a few feet, the more he stepped on, the more he could win the favor in front of the emperor."
The King of Chu was slightly stunned.
Han Jin bowed again and said sincerely: "Your Highness, the situation of fighting for the throne has gradually become clear. The reason why King Jin failed was definitely not because he offended Jia Huan, but because the emperor was afraid of the prince's power.
The King of Jin formed a clique and colluded with the Prince of Nannan, the commander of the Jinyiwei, the eunuch in the palace, and the alliance with the Grand Secretary of Song, which was simply a desperate situation.
If Your Highness wants to enter the Eastern Palace, you must not take this path. The emperor will not allow any prince to expand its power and avoid the change of seizing the throne that day. What Your Highness wants to do is to win the favor of the emperor.
For ministers, it is not to accept them, but to support their hopes, speak out and express political opinions through the Sunday newspaper.
In this way, the time is right, and when the emperor feels that he needs a prince, His Highness will naturally be the first choice. And there is no resistance from the outside."
Han Xiucai's words were hindsight. King Jin missed it in the previous trial. However, when he analyzed to this point, he came up with such a strategy, which was very convincing.
The King of Chu breathed a sigh of relief and said seriously: "Listen to Mr. Han's words, I will suddenly understand! Since that's the case, I will follow the teacher's wishes."
The King of Chu looked gentle and kind, but he was very determined. Since it was good for him, offending Jia Huan would not be important.
but…
Han Jin said: "Your Highness, I have been dating Jia Huan for many years and don't think he is a god. When human power is poor, it depends on the development of things. Of course, if things cannot be done, Yin and Gao are just businessmen, they can be abandoned."
These words are very cold.
Gao Baiwan claims to be good at doing business and pretending to be a pig and eating tiger. He has a high IQ. But is he right or wrong to join the King of Chu camp with 200,000 taels of silver?
Yin Wuji claimed to be the money bag of the King of Chu. He also curled with Li Kuan, the core figure of the Suzhou Party, and tried to surpass Lu Yong and become the leader of the Shanxi merchants during the time when the King of Chu was in power.
Two such outstanding characters, who claim to be intelligent, can they guess what Han Jin thinks at this time?
The King of Chu entered the heart of his heart, stroking his palm and laughing, and said, "Let's go back to the gentleman's courtyard and drink a few drinks."
…
…
Jia Lian, Jia Rong and Jia Qiang returned to Ningrong Street together, and went straight to Ningguo Mansion to buy wine to relieve their sorrows. Today, brothers Huan were not in the mansion, so it would be useless for them to go back to Master Zheng.
In the pavilion of Huifang Garden, Jia Rong ordered the servant to serve wine.
Jia Lian sipped a few times and said decadently: "Brother Rong, Brother Qiang, I feel uncomfortable! I feel frustrated. Made, those old bastards, all of them are smiling and talking, one by one. I am no match at all."
Jia Rong poured wine for Jia Lian and advised: "Uncle Lian, who thought that the final decision would be regretted? We must also exclude our Jia family. Alas, those people are all savages. Don't care too much. If you can't do this, you will do your best. I have sent someone to Dongzhuang Town to deliver a letter to Uncle Huan."
On the way back, Jia Lian told Jia Rong what happened on the second floor of Yunbin Building. Jia Qiang also advised: "Uncle Lian, those shameless people will be besieged to you. There will definitely be someone behind you. When Uncle Huan comes back, he will treat them well."
Jia Lian sighed depressedly and said, "Oh..., you don't know. Brother Huan sold the coal shop to Shanxi merchant Lu Chengji for boss Nalin. The honeycomb coal business in our mansion is basically abolished. The current profit is actually selling coal.
Yuan Hao, Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, has sent someone to inform me that the palace no longer buys media from our mansion. The population of the mansion is increasing. If it is not open to source, I am afraid that I will return to the situation five years ago. How can I not be anxious? If so, I will take the share of coins and make the profits enough for our mansion to use."
Jia Rong and Jia Qiang looked at each other and sighed.
The two governments are now not short of money: there are shops from both north and south, merchants under Xue Ke, assets in Xinfeng Street, and rouge, ice cream, auctions, and clubs. However, if the profit of selling honeycomb coal is less than nearly 10,000 yuan, with the growing population in the future, the expenses of the two governments will be a little difficult?
It is best to get the quota for coins. But...
…
…
At night, Zhao Heling, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, visited Wei Hong's Mansion again. In the study, the tea was lingering and sandalwood was lit.
Zhao Heling sighed and said, "Prime Minister Wei, a bunch of people quarreled and made trouble to cut off the share of the Jia family. Alas... The plan depends on the crowd, and the decision depends on the oneness. If it is used, it will do it, and if it is abandoned, it will hide it. Leave the plan to them for discussion, it will be difficult to achieve."
Although Zhao Shangshu is not strong in character, he is still quite unhappy with the current situation. He would not give him the Minister of Revenue!
Wei Hong smiled, carrying his hands on his back, and said, "If they don't quarrel, many things are difficult to deal with! We have to work hard to prolong our lives for a while to preside over this matter. We must do it well."
"I dare not. The subordinates are responsible for their own affairs." Zhao Heling nodded. There was something in Wei's words. Of course, he had a long time ago.
