Wu Dashan's face was full of astonishment: "Master, do you mean that Emperor Ming can still succeed?"

"It's hard to say!" Wu Piaolin shook his head:

"Whether Emperor Ming succeeds or not, Emperor Ming's attitude is not important. What is important is the wealthy families in Jiangnan."

Wu Dashan blinked. The Wu family was considered a small wealthy family, so they naturally understood the power of Jiangnan wealthy families.

If the wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River do not support Emperor Ming, then Emperor Ming will not be able to achieve anything even if he descends from heaven!

He frowned and said: "Then the master still spends such a large sum of money?"

"You stupid bastard!"

Wu Biaolin was so angry that he slapped the table so hard that the tea bowl jingled:

"Why are you so stupid! Since ancient times, is it the gift of help in times of need that touches people's hearts? Or is it the icing on the cake that is more popular?"

"Look at the methods used by Emperor Ming. Even if he can't achieve anything and unify the country, he has nearly 20 years of experience in governing. Isn't it possible that he can't do it in a single place?"

Wu Piaolin drank the tea in one gulp:

"Just wait and see, the Warring States Period is about to come to this world, and at the very least it will be the Three Kingdoms!"

"We have formed a good relationship with Emperor Ming today. Even if I fail in the future, sir, I will at least have a place to stay."

……

Wu Dashan understood, and he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, sir, I already understand, I'll go right now!"

……

Ming army camp.

Wu Dashan brought a carriage and was taken into the military camp after a body search.

Hao Yaoqi rubbed his hands and looked at the car filled with golden light, his eyes almost popping out of his head.

I'm a darling!

As the saying goes, one inch of gold weighs one pound. There are three boxes in this carriage. How much is that?

Wu Dashan saw Mingjiang's expression of dementia. With a smile on his face, he reached out and opened a carefully prepared sandalwood box next to him:

"This is a gift from my master to His Majesty."

Hao Yaoqi was stunned.

Due to the lack of underwater mining equipment, coral has always been precious.

During the Jin Dynasty, Shi Chong and Wang Kai competed for power, and the final word was this coral.

What was placed in front of Hao Yaoqi was the best among corals - red coral, and it was also a three-foot-tall red coral with perfectly forked branches.

This treasure alone is priceless!

After being stunned for a while, Hao Yaoqi reached out and closed the box. He squinted his eyes and said with a murderous expression:

"What did you just say?"

Seeing that Hao Yaoqi quickly recovered from the aura of jewels, Wu Dashan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this person should not be underestimated!

He opened his mouth and said again: "This is a gift prepared by my master for Your Majesty's practice."

Hao Yaoqi stared at Wu Dashan's neck for a long time, then called the soldiers, took Wu Dashan aside to rest, and got up and went to the main tent.

……

"Did that guy really say that?"

Zhu Youjian looked shocked.

Wu Piaolin's greed for money and incompetence have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but he didn't expect that he would still have such vision!

"Your Majesty, I think we should directly destroy Bazhou and kill this kid to prevent His Majesty's plan from being exposed."

Hao Yaoqi looked murderous.

Zhu Youjian turned to look at Fang Zhenghua:

"Old Fang, what do you think?"

When it comes to trying to figure out the thoughts of people who give gifts, these eunuchs are better at it.

As the chief eunuch beside the emperor, many people usually gave them gifts in order to get some first-hand information in the palace. As an eunuch, he was most taboo about colluding with foreign ministers.

Therefore, not only should officials be subtle when giving gifts, but these eunuchs must also be able to judge the officials' intentions and respond accordingly.

Once you take money that you shouldn't accept, it's going to be a big deal.

Fang Zhenghua chuckled:

"Your Majesty, this person just wants to provide help in times of need and seek a paradise to spend his old age."

Hao waved his flag and said in a loud voice: "I'm afraid that he will leak the news about His Majesty's journey south."

"Boy Hao, don't forget. He is more afraid of the news leaking out than we are."

Fang Zhenghua smiled and pointed to the north.

Once Li Zicheng found out about Wu Piaolin's gift to His Majesty, how could he be left alone?

Zhu Youjian thought about it carefully, isn't this the truth?

"Then from Lao Fang's point of view, what should I do?"

Fang Zhenghua said in a low voice:

"Your Majesty, that thief is my hero!"

"Why don't Your Majesty spend a fortune on horse bones?"

Zhu Youjian's heart skipped a beat.

Among all the forces currently involved, he is the weakest.

I didn't realize that he had escaped from the capital for more than ten days. There were not even a ghost around him, not to mention the ministers who came to serve the country loyally and loyally.

As for Jiangnan, even though it takes three or five days for a horse to arrive, there is still no trace of King Qin's people.

What does this mean?

The whole world has abandoned him, the real king!

Now at this time, he really has to do whatever it takes!

"Then according to Lao Fang, I want to promise one or two official positions to Wu Piaolin?"

Zhu Youjian suppressed his nausea and disgust and said these words.

"No!"

Fang Zhenghua exclaimed: "If your Majesty does this, it will be a real disaster!

These people know very well that His Majesty will never use them again. As long as there is a chance of becoming an official elsewhere, they will not dare to defect to His Majesty.

If His Majesty still allows them to serve as officials, these people will definitely think that His Majesty is trying to trick them into coming, and then settle the scores later. "

Hao Yaoqi curled his lips, "That old man is so boring. If you have any objections, just say no. Why do you have to go round and round!"

Ugh!

I guess Old Hao has a headache!

Fang Zhenghua took a blank military order, tore off the cardboard on both sides with a "stab", and said:

"Please also ask Your Majesty to write down five words here - 'can be a rich man', and then give this to the person to take back!"

……

Inside Bazhou Yamen.

Seeing his master rummaging through boxes and cabinets looking for memorials that had been handed down before, Wu Dashan said in confusion:

"Sir, the same goes for Emperor Ming. We have given so many gifts, which probably add up to 30 taels of silver, but they only asked me to become a rich man. I'm really pissed off!"

"found it!"

Wu Piaolin exclaimed, finally finding the memorial that had been personally approved by Emperor Chongzhen.

He ignored Wu Dashan and unfolded the memorial to himself, comparing it with the handwriting on the official document.

The official documents of the Ming Dynasty were always reviewed by the cabinet ministers first, and a small piece of paper with reference opinions was inserted inside, and then forwarded to the emperor, who approved it with a red pen, and then the eunuch who printed the palm stamped it, forwarded it to the six departments, and then returned to the place. .

Because the workload was too heavy, many trivial matters had to be reviewed by the emperor and approved by the ceremonial supervisor orally after the emperor reviewed them.

The share in Wu Piaolin's hands was that the Qing troops had defeated Bazhou, and the former magistrate died tragically, causing many casualties among the people in the city. After Wu Piaolin took office, he asked his Majesty to allow him to withhold part of the finance and taxes to deal with his funeral affairs.

Such major matters require the emperor's personal approval.

In other words, this is Zhu Youjian's handwriting!
