Chapter 2 Chapter Two

In the Rongji Palace, there was an imperial physician kneeling on the floor of Ming Kejian, the imperial physician clinging to the ground, said tremblingly: "It will be a few days before I go to the Yanjiao, please adults make preparations for my East Court. " Dou Yinghua reached out and brushed the cuff embroidered with gold thread, and opened the lid of her special jasper tea, only to feel a fragrance coming out of her nostrils, and she raised her eyebrows: "Isn't this like the Dragon Well tea from the year before last?" Bian Jing said flatteringly: "It's not bad that it's Mr. Dou, this is the newly brewed Shifeng Longjing this year, and it's said that the tea lady picked and brewed it overnight."

Dou Yinghua's voice was calm: "Isn't the business route broken?" Gao Jinian said: "What Xiangye said is that in the ninth year of Yongye's Wancheng truce, a businessman took the risk to sell newly produced silk and southern famous tea. I don't want this person to enter Kyoto through this trade route again this year. .” Dou Yinghua raised her eyebrows, and was about to ask which businessman dared to be so bold. If he dared to come in, there must be someone who guaranteed him. If the court dared to open a business route for him, it must be one of these three people.

Gao Ji Nian looked embarrassed, and knelt down and said: "Master, calm down, the war in the south, plus the two droughts in the northeast, the palace built three halls that were struck by lightning, and the treasury has been in short supply for a long time. I fear that it will be difficult to maintain the doubling of the Dongting old coins, and it will be difficult to distribute the salaries of the officials of the various ministries in the past three months." Liu Hai also knelt down and said: "Master, I discussed the text with my fellow practitioners, and I think that the only solution for now is that if the court borrows money from officials, it will fall into the original backstory. It is really a bad policy. It is better to borrow from merchants Yin, to overcome difficulties, what does Prime Minister Dou think?"

Dou Yinghua looked pale: "Oh, who do you think you can borrow money from?" Liu Haidao: "Master, have you ever heard of Mo Wen Donghai Lord, the Penglai bank borrower? The richest man in the southeast area, no one knows his details, but his business skills are very high, and he has never seen it in history books. The north-south silk road and the tea road have not been opened for five years. He and Zhang Zhiyan are sworn brothers. It is rumored among the people that he is extremely lustful. There are many concubines in his family. Yue’s male favorite, and it is rumored that Ziyue Ziyue was helped by him when he was in trouble, so even though Prince Yugang blocked the Nanzhao business road, he still opened up the tea road and provided him with a unique tea sales franchise.”

Gao Jinian added: "Nanzhao has not violated our South East Court for many years, and nine out of ten are due to this gentleman. Zhang Zhiyan's strict regard for this person is also related to this." Dou Yinghua took a sip of Longjing tea: "This tea must have been sold by this person." "Xiangye Mingjian, it was this person who did it." Dou Yinghua pondered for a moment: "Ask the merchant to borrow money, and the merchant is greedy for profit. How can I repay it?" Gao Ji Nian said: "This person is from a common family. He was born in a poor family. Given a vain job and a title, I think this person can be dismissed."

Dou Yinghua sneered, and looked at Gao Jinian: "Since this person can open up trade routes between the north and the south, it must be unusual for Zhang Zhiyan to value him so much." Liu Hai nodded and said: "Master Xiang, the ministers also think the same way. They think that if they can pull this person away, they can help persuade Zhang Zhiyan, and even seal Zhang Zhiyan. From then on, he will be the prince of the Dou family." , he can no longer be sloppy when he sends troops to the southeast." Dou Yinghua put down the teacup, and said lightly, "I'll go back to the mansion later, let's see each other."

The three of them bowed their heads in agreement and got up again. Dou Yinghua said calmly: "The emperor Yan Jia, just in these few days, you are ready." Bian Jing laughed and said: "When the crown prince ascends the throne, everything will continue." Dou Yinghua glanced at him, smiled noncommittally. Liu Hai yelled in a low voice: "Master Bian is confused." He made a royal salute to Dou Yinghua: "I will definitely try my best to arrange the ceremony for Prince Xuanyuan's Zen throne. Congratulations to my emperor, congratulations to my emperor."

Gao Jinian also kowtowed three times and bowed for a long time with a flattering face. Bian Jing's hand trembled, and the celadon gold-edged teacup couldn't help but slipped to the ground, cracked and shattered, and made a clear and loud noise. His legs trembled, and he knelt down on the ground, imitating Liu Hai and Gao Ji Nian, saying incoherently: " Long live my emperor, long live, long live." Bian Jing calmed down his excitement: "Where is the queen..." "I will naturally convince her that Lihua is from my Dou family after all." A round of red sun was like fire outside the window, but in a blink of an eye it was covered by big black clouds, the sky and the earth darkened, and the thunder and lightning faintly showed their faces in the dark clouds, moving vigorously in the air like a golden dragon, directly hitting a hall at the highest point of Zhaoming Palace Yu, the top ridge of Xuanhe Hall.

The golden dragon quickly disappeared, hid in the dark clouds and sternly roared at the world, but the Xuanhe Hall was on fire, and the spring rain fell in the sound of the panicked palace people walking, like the royal family of Xuanyuan. Tears can't stop. On the ninth day of March, Jun Mowen and Qi Zhongshu braved the spring rain and left the Xiangfu. Douzi and Jun Chunlai hurried forward to open an umbrella to welcome the carriage. In the carriage, Jun Mowen laughed loudly, and Qi Zhongshu asked: "What method did you use to make Prime Minister Dou agree to your unsolicited invitation?"

Douzi was driving the car outside, only to hear Jun Mo ask with a smile: "If I accept the vacancy he gave me, how can I still enter the Northwest to do business? I said that my ancestors have taught me that I have always been in business and not an official, and an official is not in business." , but I politely asked him for the right to sell ironware in the capital, as well as a new bank in the capital, hoping to do official business, and promised to share his shares, and Mr. Naturally, they want real estate in the south of the Yangtze River, and they also expect me to send them some iron tools so that they can conquer the world."

When I came to the Bieyuan in the capital, I just entered the door, and reported along the song: "Sir, Dou Shangshu sent someone to the house to give you something." Jun Mo asked suspiciously: "I have never had any contact with this Dou Yunjian. This person has a clear name, why did he send me something?" He and Qi Zhongshu walked into the study, Douzi was about to follow, but Xiaoyu called out: "Douzi, come and help me get the silk off the tree." Douzi murmured, "Okay, why did the silk go up the tree?" Xiaoyu's face turned red: "Please help me get up the tree to get the square silk, and I'm pushing and procrastinating like this again." The tree was quite tall, and Douzi had practiced with Qi Fang for three years, and his martial arts had already reached a small level, so he jumped onto the tree with lightness kung fu, but thought to himself: "Obviously that boy Yange's kung fu is much better than mine, but he is also Use me, the newcomer." The hundred-year-old tree he jumped on was leaning against the fence, and he couldn't help but move to the top, only to see a light yellow silk hanging on the branch. He reached out and reached for Fang Sijuan, and a faint fragrance drifted into his nose. Douzi was overjoyed, and was about to jump down and over the dragon's spine-like wall garden, but he saw that there were many soldiers on Chang'an Street outside the mansion. The lights stretched like a long dragon in every street, illuminating the city of Chang'an brightly. Soldiers and soldiers were searching from house to house, and when they saw a child, they were thrown into a wooden prison. Douzi slid down the tree suspiciously, and was about to hand the silk to Xiaoyu when he heard commotion in the front hall. Qi Zhongshu and Jun Mowen were already in the front hall, still smiling gently, but Douzi felt a little serious in his eyes. The head of the person was full of flesh, and looked greedily at the jeweled treasures in the flower hall: "A serious criminal has escaped, and the house must be searched." Jun Mo asked with a smile: "Master Jun, please go ahead and search for something important." He took off the blue-field jade finger and handed it to the chief sergeant: "Master Jun has worked hard, please accept it." The sergeant chief immediately grabbed his finger and looked at it by candlelight for a long time, then grinned and said, "How embarrassing this is." While talking, he quickly stuffed his fingers into his bosom with one hand. The sergeant turned around and shouted to the soldiers: "Be gentle, if not, let's go!" All the team leaders replied that there was no one, but only two soldiers brought out a red sandalwood grape pattern box out of breath, and said: "Sir, the younger ones found this, it is clearly the box used by the palace." The Master Chief's face suddenly sank: "Bold, where did this box come from?" Jun Mo asked with a smile and was about to answer, when someone said loudly: "This box is used by me to store the books given to Boss Jun." When everyone turned their heads, they saw a person wearing a red robe, a second-rank official uniform, a jade belt around his waist, a square face, a long beard and a beautiful beard, walking quickly, and the sergeant immediately knelt down: "Lord Yin." "I am the Crown Prince Taifu. Two months ago, the Crown Prince gave me this box, and I gave it to a friend. I heard that there was a big criminal fleeing in the palace tonight, so I came to see my friend's well-being. Also, follow me quickly." Go to West Lane, the person you are looking for has been found." Yin Shen's eyes flashed, and the sergeant immediately ordered everyone to leave the palace, Yin Shen glanced at Jun Mowen, and clasped his fists : "Boss Jun, the books I gave you a few days ago are ancient relics, they are extremely valuable, please take care of these ancient books in the future." After all, he handed over a letter from the Ministry of Punishment, and took everyone forward without any delay. Jun Mo asked the person who sent the official away, and immediately called out with a straight face: "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, pack up and go back to Guazhou immediately." Everyone immediately went to pack their things in suspense, and came out of the city to the gate of the city. Jun Mowen was in doubt for a moment, and only showed the customs clearance certificate given by Dou Yinghua. The group of people went out of the city without daring to stay. The soldiers were thrown away, and then changed to a waterway. When they came to an open place on the water surface, and came to the border of the Yangtze River, officers and soldiers from Soochow came to check. When they saw that it was Jun Mowen, they let them go immediately. At this time, Douzi listened to the chatter of the boatmen on the left and right, and only then did he know that Emperor Xizong had collapsed, and the empress had also been buried on the same day. After killing Xuanyuan, Dou Yinghua sent him to prison. The great Confucian Feng Zhangtai refused to write the enthronement edict, and all his families were executed. The princes of all walks of life planned to take advantage of this incident to entangle their forces again and attack the capital. Some people said that the prince was pretending, and the real prince had been killed by Dou Yinghua, and some said that the real prince had escaped, and so on. Douzi didn't know why he was in a state of agitation. He always felt that the day Emperor Xi Zong died happened to be the day they drove out of the capital. It was too coincidental. One day, Jun Mo Wen came over to let Douzi into his cabin, but he saw a young man with a face like a crown jade sitting in the cabin, he was about seven or eight years old, about the same age as the naughty Jun Xiyan, obviously wearing ordinary cotton clothes, But it is a kind of nobility that cannot be overlooked. Looking at Douzi calmly, Jun Mowen smiled: "Xiao Chuan, Douzi will come to serve you specially in the future." The child nodded slightly, and glanced at Douzi: "Thank you, Qing...Thank you, cousin." Jun Mowen coughed dryly, and said with a smile: "Douzi, this is my distant cousin, surnamed Huang Mingchuan, from now on you can call him Master Chuan." Douzi seemed to understand something in his heart, but he didn't seem to understand anything. He just nodded, knelt down with his thin body, and kowtowed to him politely: "Douzi has met Master Chuan." Master Chuan gave Douzi a little help, and said no courtesy.Douzi didn't ask any questions, but stood up and stood aside with his head bowed. Jun Mowen nodded with approval in his eyes. Since then, Douzi's life has entered into a young master Chuan. This young master Chuan is more taciturn than him, but he doesn't seem to get along well with Ms. Xiyan. Miss, you can annoy this well-bred young master Chuan. Douzi is supposed to be older than both of them, but they are both masters, so Douzi doesn't know which side to help. This day, the two of them annoyed Xi Yan because of a naughty girl. The two quarreled first, and then Fight again. After all, it was Xiyan who was regarded as the boss of Hope Primary School, and the group of students also made a fuss and helped Xiyan to beat Master Chuan. Douzi winked and asked Xiaoyu to send someone to invite back Jun Mowen, who stayed overnight in Yixiang Pavilion, and helped rescue Master Chuan, and jumped onto the tree. Master Chuan's face was scratched by Xi Yan's little hand Yes, she still stubbornly looked at Xi Yan below, of course she was not much better, her little face was also swollen, and the little girl started to climb the tree to catch up and beat her. Master Chuan snorted heavily: Even if I kill Gu, I won't believe that a savage girl like you is the princess of Nanzhao. .
