Unofficial History of Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 39 City Ship Division Anyuan Station + Big Rabbit

Wang Xun drank too much, woke up the next day, drank tens of thousands of sober tea, and returned to his usual appearance, dragging Jiang Bin around to show his friendship as a landlord.Jiang Bin was dragged to climb mountains and go boating to see the various scenery. Wang Xunfang said: "I entrusted someone to the place in Ningbo, so you should also be a Zaoli!"

Jiang Bin poked Wang Xun's spine without changing his expression: "You will be punished!"

Wang Xun had a proud expression of what you can do to me.

Hangzhou Mansion is close to Ningbo Mansion, and the waterway is faster. Jiang Bin vomited twice in Hangzhou Bay, and was poured back by Wang Xun in Ningbo.After eating and drinking enough, Wang Xun took Jiang Bin to "take office".The relationship in the yamen was Sun Zhen's cousin, and Wang Xun gave him a few jars of wine and a bunch of money, so Jiang Bin and Tang He each received a set of Tsing Yi.

The next day, Jiang Bin was led by the superior of the yamen to the Shibo Department named Anyuanyi under his identity as a slave.

Following the system of the previous dynasty, the Shibo Department is in charge of tribute and trade matters of overseas countries. The Shibo Department has one nominee, two deputy nominees, and one subordinate official.The promotion of Shibosi was the eunuch Ryan personally appointed by Emperor Zhengde.Ryan was born in Neishutang, with a handsome face, knowledgeable about the past and the present, and was favored by Emperor Zhengde at a young age, so he entrusted this job to him.The Shibo Department, which he sits in charge of, hasn't had any troubles yet.However, before Emperor Zhengde left for Nanjing, a memorial gave him some worries.He didn't believe that the matter was really as described in the memorial, and it was just a entanglement among Japanese people, so he waited for Jiang Bin who was passing through Nanjing, stuffed him with a note, and ordered him to investigate thoroughly secretly.

The Shibo Division is subordinate to the Chief Envoy, and the taxation power was originally in the hands of the Chief Envoy, but because of Ryan's hard work, Emperor Zhengde specially approved him to be fully responsible for taxation.The chief envoys are naturally dissatisfied with the outflow of such lucrative posts, and they also participated in the performance of this mistake, implying that it was tricky.

After inquiring, Jiang Bin learned that Ryan took a leave of absence to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors, but he has not yet returned.Under the recommendation of the superior of the yamen, Jiang Bin met with the vice-president.The fat head and big ears lifted his heavy eyelids, glanced at the 36 taels of snowflake silver presented by Jiang Bin, and spoke with a nucleus in his mouth: "But it's okay to say."

Jiang Bin bowed respectfully and said: "My cousin's sister-in-law bowed to a Japanese merchant, and after a few days he passed by Anyuan Station to meet merchants from Taizhou, can you please be accommodating, and first check his goods and declare his taxes?"

That pair of lifts shook the flesh on his face: "I wanted to be accommodating, but something went wrong a while ago..."

Jiang Bin hurriedly answered, "But what about the two teams of Japanese merchants?"

The vice-prompter nodded, seeing that he was putting on a storytelling posture on both sides of the silver: "Waren Zongshe and Ruizuo each led a team to our company one after another. However, Mr. Tiju ordered people to check the goods of Ruizuo who arrived first, and then sent them to the establishment. During the banquet, Rui Zuo was in the upper seat. In a fit of anger, Zong She summoned the Japanese to chase and kill Rui Zuo, but Rui Zuo fled outside the city, but Zong She continued to burn, kill and loot along the way, and took the ship back to the country of Japan."

After Jiang Bin listened, he pondered for a moment and said, "Master Tiju, can you know Na Ruizuo?"

Deputy Tiju laughed when he heard this: "You are a yamen servant, you don't even know this? Song Suqing, the interpreter next to Ruizuo, was originally from the capital. On the same day, he gave Mr. Tiju one end of gold satin and ten pieces of silk. Horses, five hundred incense sticks, 100 taels of platinum..."

Jiang Bin couldn't help sighing in his heart, Ryan, who has always been ambitious, could not escape this disaster.He also made some measurements and asked for a foot of silk for Ryan to share with the vice-promoter.They stayed for a few more days, and together with Tang He, they inquired about the witnesses and evidences. Then they called back the troops and returned to Hangzhou with Wang Xun.

After a few days of leisure, Jiang Bin had to return to Beijing to take up his post.

Wang Xun sent Jiang Bin to the gate of the city, chattered a few words, and Jiang Bin laughed at his mother-in-law, so he said goodbye.

Jiang Bin got on his horse, but Wang Xun stopped him again: "There is something wrong to say, but I'm afraid you will..."

Jiang Bin turned his head and listened to Wang Xun's solemn words: "It was not my intention to behead the Tatar envoy in Datong back then."

Jiang Bin was taken aback, and tightened the reins.According to his understanding of Wang Xun, Wang Xun will not ignore the overall situation because of a momentary impulse...

Jiang Bin didn't dare to think about it, so he said "Take care" abruptly, waved his whip, and left in the dust.

Looking at the fleeing figure, Wang Xun sighed to himself.

As soon as Jiang Bin entered the capital, he was greeted into the palace with great fanfare by a group of people sent by Emperor Zhengde, who didn't know which married woman Emperor Zhengde had robbed.When Jiang Bin met Emperor Zhengde, he presented those stolen goods and confessions, and explained everything in detail in the future.

"Ryan was eunuched by his parents and sent outside the imperial city because his family couldn't get rid of the pot. If Zhang Yong didn't see him as pitiful..." Emperor Zhengde sighed, "Unexpectedly, after all, he couldn't escape this immediate advantage..."

Jiang Bin scratched Wangwei's neck, but said nothing.

Emperor Zhengde also stretched out his hand to help scratch: "After all, Ryan was promoted by Zhang Yong... After that, I will hand it over to Dongchang!"

Jiang Bin remained calm, but thought in his heart that he had worked so hard, but he had sold his favor to Emperor Zhengde.

Emperor Zhengde knew what Jiang Bin was thinking when he saw Jiang Bin's appearance. He stroked his stomach and said, "This matter is not just about courting. If we don't act first today, the bureaucrats may be dismissed by the civil servants. At that time, those wealthy businessmen will Relying on their respective powers to owe money to the merchants of the Japanese country, even if the merchants of the Japanese country ask for help from the squires, they are just leading wolves into the house. Over time, those local officials will surely bite back and instigate the court to agree to send troops to exterminate the "Japanese pirates". If the Japanese country wins, it will definitely occupy My island. If our army wins, we will cut off contact from now on. If there is no stalemate, it will cost people and money."

Jiang Bin was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Emperor Zhengde to think long-term, and he was short-sighted after thinking about it.

"Have you lived comfortably these few days?" Emperor Zhengde seemed unwilling to talk about it.

Jiang Bin took out something from his sleeve and handed it over.Emperor Zhengde took it, and saw that it was a scarlet jade ring carved with animal face patterns imitating the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods.I tried it on my thumb, and it was just the right size, but then I was afraid that it would melt in the light, so I carefully wrapped it in flannelette and put it in a brocade box, and found a cabinet to lock it.

Jiang Bin's face was a little hot, and he felt that he bought it at will when he was shopping in an antique shop.

Emperor Zhengde walked around to Jiang Bin, resting his chin on his shoulder: "In the drawer table, where did the money come from?"

Jiang Bin raised his shoulders, but Emperor Zhengde put his arms around them again. Jiang Bin had no choice but to say, "The ones brought by Lu are also at the place of Imperial Physician Wu... to make a living."

"Oh? What kind of business?"

"Pharmaceutical shop."

"He stays at home, what does he want the money for?"

"Doctor Wu said yes..." Jiang Bin paused: "Raise rabbits."

In Prince Ning's Mansion, Imperial Physician Wu takes care of her husband and children every day——serving a big rabbit and a small rabbit.But the two rabbits did not grow much meat under the care of Wu Taiyi, and they were still so picky about food that even Wu Ping'er couldn't stand it.

Mistress Wu often rested her chin by the window and thought, "How can rabbits not eat radishes?"

So one day, Imperial Physician Wu prepared two plates of radish mixed with green onions for lunch, and whispered to the little rabbit, "After eating these, tomorrow I will take you to the back mountain to hunt birds."

The little rabbit immediately pinched his nose and poured a large plate of radishes in front of him into his mouth.

Wu Jie said to the big rabbit who was frowning, "If I don't eat carrots, I won't be happy with you for a few days."

The big rabbit lifted the table, and the Buddha walked away with his sleeves.

Wu Jie had a smile on his face, but he was serious, and slept in the little rabbit's house that night.This went on for more than half a month, and everyone in the mansion felt a little breathless.The chief culprit, Imperial Physician Wu, is refreshed every day, and chats with everyone in the palace, enjoying life at ease.

In the first three days of the Cold Food Festival, the moon is dark and the wind is high.

Physician Wu was reading medical books in the study when the door was suddenly kicked open with a "bang".

A big rabbit walked in with the moonlight on its back, disheveled hair, aggressive, and a large plate of clear water radishes in its hand.

Doctor Wu looked up, and saw the big rabbit raised his head, poured all the radishes into his mouth, puffed his cheeks and threw the plate on the table with a "bang".

Doctor Wu stared at the big rabbit who was blushing and glaring at him for a moment, then threw down the scroll and a hungry wolf pounced on it, and pushed the big rabbit down on the table to tear it apart.
