Daming: I can’t kill such a greedy prince-in-law?

Chapter 308 Businessmen take sides, Jiang Wei is demoted (please subscribe!!)

Boss Liu's words once again shocked everyone present.

The eyes of all the businessmen were once again focused on Boss Liu.

"Boss Liu, we are all businessmen. Although we have some money, in front of the officials, we are just throwing an egg at a stone!"

"That's right! There's nothing we can do!"

"In our state capital and county government, our words may still be useful, but this is the capital."

"Anyone who stands up in the Taiji Palace can drive us into a state of eternal destruction."

"Everyone, please be quiet and let Boss Liu speak." Mao Youde raised his hand high to signal other businessmen to stop talking. After the scene quieted down, he turned to look at Boss Liu and said, "Boss Liu, what do you want to say? Just say it!”

"Everyone, no matter what we heard or said here today, as long as we leave this door, I hope everyone will be rotten in their stomachs!"

"If something happens to someone and our people at the scene can survive, then we must take care of other people's families!"

"it is good!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Having said that, everyone also understands how serious the matter is now.

Boss Liu nodded, "Since Boss Mao and everyone else believe in me, I will tell you what I think."

"Actually, I suspect that the Prince Consort has been involved in the most important power struggle in the imperial court!"

As soon as these words came out, all the businessmen immediately went crazy.

"Yes! Why didn't I think of this!"

"There have always been rumors that the Prince Consort is the leader of the Prince Consort Party and is feared by the Huaixi Party. Now that the Prince Consort has entered Beijing and made such a big fuss, these people will definitely find ways to take revenge."

"I've heard about the Huaixi Party. All of them are Huaixi nobles and they are very powerful. Yongchang Bo Lanyu, who previously said that everyone was not allowed to attend the Prince Consort's wedding, is from the Huaixi Party!"

"So, the Huaixi Party has failed in one plan and is planning another one?"

"It's very possible that everyone should know that my brother is now the Chief Envoy of Guangdong Province. Speaking of which, I am also a member of the Prince Consort Party. It was only after Grand Master Li Shanchang was ordered to inspect the four southern provinces that my brother's days were It's getting harder day by day, and I'm almost exhausted!" Mao Youde agreed: "The Huaixi Party treats my brother like this, which shows that the Prince Consort is a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh, and they will definitely do anything to the Prince Consort. .”

"The people in the Huaixi Party are so vicious!"

For a time, the dislike of the Huaixi Party among the businessmen soared!

As a businessman, although he does not know as much as officials about the political affairs of the court, he will pay special attention to them, and he is naturally aware of the cruelty of the power struggle in the court.

In the past, when Ouyang Lun was in Beizhili, this situation was not obvious. Now that Ouyang Lun has entered the capital, it has naturally entered a fierce stage.

"Boss Liu can clearly see that the current situation of the Prince Consort is definitely related to the partisan dispute!"

"When the Huaixi Party and the Zhejiang Party fought, everyone in the Ming Dynasty knew about it. In the end, the Zhejiang Party was completely defeated. The funeral after Liu Bowen's death was extremely miserable, and the Huaixi Party suddenly became the most active force in the Ming Dynasty. , had something not happened to Hu Weiyong, the people of the Huaixi Party would have become even more arrogant!"

"The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. This has been the case since ancient times. Crisis and risk coexist!"

"Now we are all giving gifts to the Prince Consort. Even if we are tied to the two carriages of the Prince Consort, not only the Jin Yiwei will deal with us, but also the Huaixi Party and the canines attached to the Huaixi Party will also attack us. If we If we do nothing, once the Prince Consort falls, it will be our turn!" Boss Liu said solemnly.

After hearing this, the scene suddenly became quiet, and everyone's face was full of worry.

Seeing this, Boss Liu said sharply: "Everyone, have you forgotten that we are businessmen?"

“There are risks involved in investing in business, and fishermen along the coast also know that the bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish will be!”

"As long as the Prince Consort can win this party struggle, at that time, the Prince Consort and the Prince Consort Party will be able to replace the Huaixi Party. At that time, with the Prince Consort's ability and identity, he will be the leader of one person and more than ten thousand people." Isn’t it easy?”

"And as people who follow the Prince Consort, how can we get any less benefits?"

After hearing this, the eyes of the merchants gradually began to shine.

"But the strength of the Huaixi Party is far greater than that of the Prince Consort. The probability that the Prince Consort can win is really very small. If the Prince Consort really loses, none of us will be able to escape."

"Since ancient times, few businessmen have had a good ending when they participated in court affairs."

Different voices soon appeared in the room.

"Everyone's worries are correct. Please think about it carefully. Apart from following the Prince Consort, do we have any other options?" Boss Liu said in a deep voice: "Don't forget, your bribe has already been used." It's held in Jin Yiwei's hand."

After hearing this, Zhao Si also spoke at this time, "I personally think what Boss Liu said is very correct. Have you thought about it carefully? Why did the Prince Consort know that there was a scribe from Jin Yiwei around, but he still took us indifferently. What was given as a gift?”

"Is he really short of money? The prince-in-law is the richest man in the entire Ming Dynasty. He doesn't like the three melons and two dates we gave us at all, but he still accepted it, and he was very happy with it. Maybe there are others We chose not to give it away, and the prince-in-law made it clear from the beginning to the end, but we still gave it away. This may be a test for us by the prince-in-law, whether we are willing to take the risk with him!"

·

"In the past, we may have only had a cooperative relationship with the Prince Consort, but from the moment we presented the gift in front of the Jinyiwei scribe, from that moment on, we truly became the Prince Consort's people!"

"Now the choice appears again, it depends on how we choose!"

"I, Zhao Si, have been following my consort all the way. If it weren't for my consort, I might still be the craftsman who couldn't even get the money for my mother's medicine. Now that my consort is in trouble, I actually want to escape. Damn it!"

"No matter what you choose, I, Zhao Si, will stand firmly on the side of the Prince Consort!"

Mao Youde also said: "If it weren't for the prince-in-law's help, I wouldn't be able to manage China Grain Industry to this point, and my brother probably wouldn't be the chief envoy. This time I support the prince-in-law!"

Other businessmen also spoke one after another.

"We all know what the Prince Consort is capable of. If we follow him, we may not be able to create miracles!"

"No matter what happens, you will die. It's better to follow the Prince Consort all the way to the dark side."

"If you lose, you'll lose your fortune and your life. If you win, you'll be remembered in history!"

"Done!"

Although many people hesitated just now, businessmen pursue profits. As long as the profits are large enough, they will naturally gamble. This is an opportunity to make a complete turnaround!

Soon all the businessmen on the scene chose to fully support Ouyang Lun, even if they participated in the party struggle in the court.

Of course, the main reason why these businessmen made such crazy decisions was because Ouyang Lun's political achievements in Beizhili were so outstanding and he accomplished many amazing things. Therefore, the businessmen were also willing to believe that after arriving in the capital, Ouyang Lun was still Able to break new ground.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Mao Youde said to Boss Liu again: "Boss Liu, you have seen everyone's attitude. Now you can tell us your plan. What can we do to help the Prince Consort!"

Boss Liu nodded, then raised his hands to the businessmen, "Everyone, please listen to us, next we need to do this. This"

Just when the businessmen gathered together for a heated discussion.

Outside the princess's house, Jiang Wei, the commander of the Jinyi Guards who was responsible for guarding Ouyang Lun, felt something was wrong the more he thought about it.

"This prince-in-law was making noises about leaving the capital before, but in the past two days, he seems to be a completely different person."

"What's more important is that even if he accepts things from merchants, the prince-in-law has no scruples at all. He even asks people to record everything. What kind of medicine is he selling in his gourd?" Jiang Wei thought about it for a long time. Figure it out.

At this moment, a guard in royal robes ran over and said, "Sir, Your Majesty announces your entry into the palace."

Hearing this, Jiang Wei's expression changed, and he knew without thinking that Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang had asked him to go in for questioning.

"Forget it, it's time for the Prince Consort to report to His Majesty what happened."

"Look out for me. Anyone entering or leaving the princess's residence must be carefully interrogated. No mistakes are allowed!" Jiang Wei ordered sternly.

"Yes!" A group of Jin Yiwei's men quickly said yes.

After giving some instructions, Jiang Wei hurried towards the palace.

Inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Zhu Yuanzhang was reviewing the memorial when Jiang Yu stepped in.

"Your Majesty, Jiang Gu, comes to see you!"

Jiang Wei knelt down and saluted.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked up at Jiang Yu and said calmly: "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Jiang Wei thanked him, he slowly stood up from the ground.

"Tell me, have you gained anything from watching Ouyang Lun these days? And what is Ouyang Lun doing?"

As expected, he called himself back to ask about Ouyang's consort.

"Your Majesty, except for the emotional breakdown on the first day, Prince Consort Ouyang was normal at other times. He ate and drank well, and did not clamor to leave the capital." Jiang Wei replied.

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment and muttered: "This kid is quite big-hearted. Isn't he afraid that I will actually kill him?"

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Jiang Wei thought about it and decided to report the matter truthfully.

"explain."

"Ouyang Prince Consort has been acting strangely these past few days, and I really can't figure it out." Jiang Wei said in confusion.

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang became curious, "This kid is grounded in the house, what else can he do?"

Next, Jiang Wei told the story of Ouyang Lun meeting the businessman and accepting the gift in front of Jin Yiwei.

"Are you saying that this boy Ouyang Lun accepted bribes in front of you? And he even asked you to record it?!" Zhu Yuanzhang was also stunned, and then a surge of anger rose from his heart.

You, Ouyang Lun, are so brave to take bribes so blatantly!

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was about to get angry, he suddenly calmed down again.

Not right.

How could Ouyang Lun, such a cautious person, make such a low-level mistake? This is obviously illogical.

After thinking for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed.

Zhu Yuanzhang's smile made Jiang Yu even more confused.

"Your Majesty, you"

Under normal circumstances, wouldn't His Majesty be furious if he heard someone was blatantly taking bribes? Why did you laugh?

This Ouyang Consort is not normal, can he still be contagious?

"Ha ha!"

"Jiang Wei, Jiang Wei, you were deceived by that boy Ouyang Lun!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

"Have you been deceived?" Jiang Wei became more and more confused and hurriedly raised his hands and said: "I am stupid, please clarify my doubts."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "Ouyang Lun did this for several purposes. One is to test whether I really want to kill him, and two. He is showing his attitude to me!"

Jiang Wei said in confusion: "Your Majesty, this first minister can understand, but for this second point, he has taken the initiative to accept bribes, so what attitude can he have? I think he is provoking Your Majesty!"

"Such a provocation is too childish. It just makes me angry at most and has no big effect. Ouyang is a smart man and he knows what to do." Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "Do you know why I just ground Qi? ?”

"I dare not guess your Majesty's thoughts." Jiang Wei said quickly.

"Just say what I tell you to say."

"Yes." Jiang Wei thought for a while and said, "I thought that your majesty did not want to kill Ouyang's consort!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "You are right, I did not intend to kill him, but this is not because you Jin Yiwei are incompetent!"

Ah!

Jiang Wei was completely dumbfounded and even knelt on the ground in fear.

"Your Majesty, I don't understand much."

"Humph, of course you don't understand!" Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly: "Over the years, I have asked you Jin Yiwei to keep an eye on Ouyang Lun and sort out his charges and evidence. Until today, what you have always handed over is ambiguous. guess!"

"Even Zhou Zhen, the Minister of Punishment, has not been found by me until now. Are you afraid that you have forgotten Zhou Zhen? I have not forgotten him!"

"You Jin Yiwei have arrested Ouyang Lun several times, but what's the result? It's all because of insufficient evidence. I can only let him go in the end. It's the same today! If there is no conclusive evidence, if I kill Ouyang Lun, the people of the world will be convinced. ? Can all civil and military officials be subdued?"

"I am incompetent!" Jiang Wei never expected that he just came to report to Zhu Yuanzhang, but in the end he was scolded and scolded, and he could not refute.

"You are indeed incompetent!" Zhu Yuanzhang said solemnly.

"Your Majesty, there was no conclusive evidence before, but now that Ouyang Lun himself has been exposed, isn't this conclusive evidence?! As soon as His Majesty gives the order, I will arrest Ouyang Lun immediately." Jiang Ying was really worried that Zhu Yuanzhang would attack him, so he could only arrest Ouyang Lun. It's launched, it's a matter of life and death, who cares, let's survive first.

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang gave Jiang Yu a cold look, "Stupid."

"what!"

Jiang Wei was completely dumbfounded. He couldn't understand whether Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to kill Ouyang Lun or not.

"Jiang Yu."

"The minister is here."

"You go to Liaodong. Now there is constant war in Liaodong. You need to solve the intelligence problem. Remember this is the last chance!"

"I accept your order!"
