A Clash of Gods - Chapter 1107

[Chapter 1097]

Romance Chinese Network, update the latest chapter of Jinyi Spring and Autumn as soon as possible!

People in Beijing feel that this year has really been an eventful year.

Big changes have occurred in a row in Da Chu, and each time it is a disaster. Last year, the emperor died, and the general Qi Jing passed away at almost the same time. Mingjun and famous generals fell at the same time. .

And this time, two things happened at the same time. Sima Lan, the powerful founding hero of the country, rebelled and was executed by the emperor, while Tantai Huang, a famous general who roamed the world at that time, also passed away due to illness.

In just one year, the empire lost an emperor and three ministers.

Tantai Huang passed away, and a mourning hall was set up. All the officials in the court went to pay homage, and Qi Ning also went to pay homage early.

Tantai Huang’s three sons, the eldest son Tantai Zhilin and the second son Tantai Zhiqi have all passed away, and the youngest son Tantai Zhixiu is far away in the Xichuan Corps. It will take a while to send the funeral report there. When he came back, the time limit for mourning had already passed, so the disciples in the clan could only play the role of filial sons.

For Tantai Huang’s passing, both the court and the opposition felt pain.

Compared with the Tantai family, the Sima family is a different scene. Sima Lan was given to death on the charge of treason, and the title of the prince was also stripped away. A thin coffin was randomly buried in a place, or even a place of burial. Few people know where.

After Xue Lingfeng got the emperor’s will, he returned to Beijing and immediately mobilized the soldiers and horses of the Tiger God Battalion to block the government of the town.

Longtai threw the funeral of the Sima family to Qi Ning’s Department of Punishment. Qi Ning didn’t really have to deal with the matter personally, but only conveyed the emperor’s intentions in the Department of Punishment, and the specific matter was handed over to Chu Mingwei and others.

After all, he got on the bus halfway and was able to sit in the position of the minister of punishment. It was not that he really knew any criminal law, but it was caused by the court at that time.

Chu State has its own criminal laws and regulations of Chu State, but all those who are on duty in the Criminal Department will always read Chu Law back and forth, and keep in mind the rules of Chu Law. Little is known about the law, so it is also a peace of mind to leave everything to the people under him.

The last time Qi Ning used Da Xizhang in the Punishment Department to clean up the Punishment Department, everyone in the Punishment Department naturally knew that this young man was not easy to mess with, and since Sima Lan had already fallen, everyone knew that Qi Ning would definitely be reused by the emperor. Qi Ning is even more obedient.

Chu Mingwei is now the de facto second-in-command of the Ministry of Punishment, and since Qi Ning left the funeral of the Sima family to him, he naturally went all out.

In fact, there is nothing to consider about the handling of the Sima family. Sima Lan was personally given to death by the emperor, which proves that the emperor naturally wants to completely eradicate the Sima family. With such a goal, the Ministry of Punishment can naturally handle things. Let go of your hands and feet.

Naturally, those who should be killed should not be released, and those who should be charged should be immediately charged. Even if Sima’s family wealth, the household department cooperated with the search of the house, the yamen cooperated very tacitly in this matter, and they resolved it neatly and waited for Tantai Huang’s funeral. At that time, the Sima family had already been uprooted in Beijing, men and women, young and old died, and the army was filled, and no one mentioned Sima’s name in the streets.

People suddenly discovered that the little emperor is really quick and resolute in his actions. Not long ago, the Sima clan, who were still in great Chu scenery, had vanished in a blink of an eye, and all the courtiers in the court were also heartbroken. It’s because of awe, knowing that the little emperor is not as young as he seems to be doing things.

Although Sima Lan was uncharacteristically that day, the marriage of the two families was proceeding in an orderly manner. In fact, there were still three to five days before they got married. Everything on both sides had been prepared, and the East Court had already been tidy up and put up lights, although it was not yet. Married, but the Jinyi Qi family is already filled with joy.

Gu Qinghan was obviously very concerned about this marriage. The new house was arranged in person, and he even sent someone to secretly inquire about Ximen Zhanying’s preferences.

Qi Ning was proclaimed Duke Huguo, and the imperial workshop in the palace quickly built a plaque and gave the plaque of “Guo Huo Mansion”.

Qi Ning’s people put up a plaque, and soon there was another decree. Qi Ning’s protector of the country is not hereditary, but the marquis of Jinyi is hereditary. Jin Yi wait.

The title of Duke is naturally more decent in the court, and the specifications of the seat have also been improved, but the most practical thing is that the food for the Duke has increased.

Before the Jinyi Qi family had 3,000 food estates and another 500 good fields, when the plaque was given, Longtai ordered to add 2,000 food houses and 300 good fields to the Qi family. The income is huge. Increase.

After accepting the matter of Shiyi, Gu Qinghan will naturally arrange it.

Qi Ning had planned to set up Haibo Division in Dinghai, and Tantai Huang had also made a presentation to the court during his lifetime, but it was delayed for a few days because of Sima Lan’s affairs. Qi Ning thought that the sooner this matter was implemented, the better. Knowing that Mrs. Tian was definitely enthusiastic about this matter, she was just embarrassed to come over and mention it to herself.

It is not difficult to set up the Haibo Division. The difficulty is to implement the affairs in detail. The prerequisite for everything is to have sufficient silver taels. The Ministry of Household is preparing for the Northern Expedition. Naturally, it is impossible to have surplus money allocated to support the Haibo Division. Qi Ning had already figured out that although he had stored a huge sum of money in the secret Yinzhuang, naturally the money could not be easily mobilized, but he needed money now, and there was no shortage of people.

Yuan Rong has a wide range of friends, and he has many friends in the business world. At the beginning, Qi Ning helped a few children of the giants, and they invited Yuan Rong to come over. Yuan Rong received Qi Ning’s invitation and rushed over immediately.

Qi Ning was entangled in all kinds of things, but Yuan Rong was at ease every day, and the two of them hadn’t seen each other for a while.

Yuan Lao Shang Shu of the Ministry of Rites was alone. Whether it was the Emperor Mausoleum Incident or the Pinglin Autumn Hunt, the old man easily avoided it without touching the mountains.

“Kuo Gong takes the lead, has traveled thousands of miles, and rises step by step…!” As soon as they met, Yuan Rong smiled and saluted: “Guo Gong is now in a high position, and he can still think about his old friends. I am really moved. ”

Qi Ning laughed, invited Yuan Rong to sit down, and said, “I called you here today. To make a long story short, the imperial court is going to set up the Haibo Division. Do you know this?”

“Haibo Division?” Yuan Rong shook his head and said, “I haven’t heard of it.”

“The trade between the East China Sea and the South China Sea has always been controlled by the East China Sea family.” Qi Ning said: “The Jiang family’s fleet travels between the East China Sea and the South China Sea, and every trade is profitable.”

Yuan Rong hurriedly said, “I am clear about this matter. The Jiang family in the East China Sea is as rich as the enemy country, and it is because of the trade in the South China Sea that it developed.” Where are you, do you know the whereabouts?”

“The Ministry of Punishment is also searching for traces of this person.” Qi Ning said: “He got the news and ran away. It’s really hard to find it for a while.”

Yuan Rong nodded and said, “I heard that after this kid entered the Ministry of War, he spent money everywhere, and made friends with many officials in the Ministry of War. Who would have known such a thing would happen, the rich boy from the past has now become a lost dog.” He sighed and said, “People have good fortune and good fortune, and it is better to be drunk today if they are in this world.”

“Master Yuan is very emotional.” Qi Ning said with a smile: “The Jiang family in the East China Sea has been cleaned up, but the sea trade cannot be cut off, so the imperial court will set up a Haibo Company to continue the maritime trade, and the imperial court will directly control this financial source in the future. ”

Yuan Rong shrugged and said, “What do you want me to do with this? Does the prince want to share my benefits?”

“You guessed it right.” Qi Ning smiled and said, “Haibos takes care of the livelihoods of many people, and it is also an important income for the court. Originally, I was thinking of taking care of Haibos myself, but I was in my hands. There are too many things to do, and I’m afraid that I won’t be able to be busy at that time, so I think about it and think that you should be able to take care of it.”

Yuan Rong was stunned for a moment, and a little surprised said: “What does the Duke of Guo mean by this?”

“After the establishment of Haibo Division, you must always have a mind.” Qi Ning stared at Yuan Rong’s eyes: “I want to recommend to the emperor that you will manage Haibo Division.”

Yuan Rong took it for a while, and finally waved his hand and said, “If it’s not possible, it’s not possible, Duke Guo, I can beg you to spare me. To tell you the truth, if I wanted to find a half-official position, I would have already entered the yamen a few years ago. I don’t have to wait until today. This officialdom is like a battlefield, and I’m trying to deceive me. I’d rather drink, drink, enjoy flowers, and chat with the girls in my spare time, so that I won’t offend anyone, and I won’t bring disaster to myself and my family.” Gong. Hands over: “I know that the prince means to support, but it is really not suitable for me to be an official.”

Qi Ning sighed: “If that’s the case, then forget it. In fact, there are many people who are jealous of this errand, and I will give it to you only because of our friendship. The countries of the South Seas not only have many rare items, but also have exotic places with different customs. Beauty, I saw a few Nanyang beauties in the East China Sea a while back, and to tell you the truth, they are truly stunning, tsk tsk…!”

“Wait a minute!” Yuan Rong laughed and said, “The prince is lying to me. What kind of beautiful women can there be in a small country in Nanyang? My Central Plains is rich in resources, and the beauty is like clouds.

“Maybe Yuan Da Gongzi really doesn’t like it.” Qi Ning laughed: “But I’m telling the truth, there are dozens of countries in Nanyang, and each country has its own customs. If you don’t see it with your own eyes, you can’t understand it. Yes.” He got up and said, “If you really don’t want to, I’ll think about who is more suitable.”

Yuan Rong didn’t get up, but asked, “In charge of Haibosi, can you get in touch with those women?”

“Nonsense.” Qi Ning rolled his eyes, “Haibo Division is in charge of trade with Nanyang, and you will be the one that the merchant fleet will curry favor with, and you will naturally be indispensable for rare and exotic treasures, but you don’t look down on it either. Going out to sea and bringing you back a few exotic beauties is not a matter of course.” He waved his hand and said, “Anyway, you are not interested, so I won’t talk about it, I will invite you to dinner.”

Yuan Rong thought for a while before saying: “If Haibo Division is really related to national affairs, and the grandfather thinks I am suitable, I… I can give it a try when I get there. I should come out at my age. Do something for the court.”

“Don’t make it difficult.” Qi Ning smiled and said, “I really don’t want to, I have other candidates.”

Yuan Rong said: “We are good brothers. Since you have spoken up, I can’t share your worries for you. Well, I promised to do this. Whatever you need me to do, no matter what you tell me, I will never embarrass you!”
