The most unlucky crossing in history

After leaving the prison for so many days, Zhong Qiyun finally figured out that the Dazhang Dynasty had some connection with the present world he lived in, and he knew all the history before this dynasty.After Qin unified the world, Han Gaozu replaced it, and then Tang, but after the Tang Dynasty annihilated the country, it did not experience too many wars. The Great Emperor of the year revolted and unified the world again, making today's Tan The surname is Daqing.

The first two generations of the Tan family were fond of war horses. After the establishment of the imperial court, the two generations successively conquered the Turks and Pinghu, and conquered the Shiwei and other external expansion territories. It has been more than a hundred years since the establishment of the dynasty, and the Daqing Dynasty is now considered to have a vast territory. .

However, the most affluent area in Dazhu is still the area of ​​Suzhou and Hangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River.

When the silk trade was flourishing, Zhong Qiyun stepped into Hangzhou and was amazed to see the merchant ships coming and going at the head of the river.

Because he was following a caravan along the way, and this group of people happened to come out of Jingzhao City, traveling between Southeast, Jiangnan, and Jingzhao places, so Zhong Qiyun did some business with them.

"When you come to Hangzhou, you must bring silk back. Although Quanzhou has everything, it is also a good place, but this gorgeous silk still cannot be produced."

"Yeah, even if I don't do business, my mother-in-law knows that I came to Suzhou and Hangzhou, and she wants me to bring back the best silk of this year. Women, hey—"

A few big brothers I met these days were listening to Wu Nong’s soft language in the teahouse, shaking their heads: “It’s said that Suzhou and Hangzhou are rich in beauties, not only in people, but also in their voices. Hey, why don’t I buy them here? A servant girl can go back and take care of her." Lu Huang is already 33, and the eldest daughter in the family is already [-] or [-], and they are going to discuss marriage next year, but this big brother is not dead yet.

Zhong Qiyun heard this from the side, and laughed with everyone: "Brother Lu is still young, which is a good thing, but if you marry a fifteen-year-old girl and go back, you are not afraid that the jewel in your palm will no longer pay attention to you." This father?"

"I'm just afraid." Lu Huang loves his son more than the one next to him, but he loves his daughter more, which is rare in this dynasty.

"My daughter is going to discuss marriage at the end of the year, so I don't know which bastard is cheaper." Lu Huang sighed, and then looked at Zhong Qiyun with a smile: "Brother Zhong, speaking of which, you are already 22. You are bold and capable in doing things, why didn't you get married?"

"Isn't this waiting for Brother Lu to marry your precious daughter to me?" Zhong Qiyun dared to say that,

Naturally, he understood that Lu Huang looked down on him.

Sure enough, as soon as he said the words, the people around him burst out laughing.

"Hey, you have a good idea!" Lu Huang also laughed.

To be honest, Lu Huang actually admired Zhong Qiyun a lot. If he was a subordinate or a business partner, he should be fine, but as a son-in-law... After all, he still doesn't like Zhong Qiyun's background.

Although his daughter is not as rich as the daughter of a rich family, she was raised by him anyway, and she was born in a wealthy family. His family has a lot of assets, and the dowry for marrying his daughter is very good. In his eyes, at least marry a county magistrate Talent is a match.

Although Zhong Qiyun is good, let it go.

Everyone knew it well, and they only talked about it as a joke, and changed the subject after the trouble.

"During this time, Jingzhao City is not peaceful. We should wait a little longer when we return to Quanzhou this time, and then go to Jingzhao City." Kong Mingwu, who was tasting tea, said, "During the period around the Mid-Autumn Festival, I almost came from Jingzhao City. escape."

Zhong Qiyun didn't make a sound, and poured tea and drank it again, but the few people who came from the Western Regions next to him were a little curious.

"What do you say? Escape?"

"Isn't it because of the son of the Zhou family? The newly appointed Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, Xie Wenyuan, acted vigorously, but in just a few days, he investigated and dealt with all the people in the Shu Prefecture. During that time, everyone in Beijing was terrified, and children were afraid to go out. "

"What does it matter to the people when the official investigates the case?"

"Hey, the people are afraid, because at that time some people took advantage of the chaos and killed people to blame the minister of the Ministry of punishment."

Zhong Qiyun had never heard of this.

"You are always missed when you are in your early years."

"Who wants to blame the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment?" Zhong Qiyun suddenly said: "What kind of official is the Minister of the Ministry of Justice? Shangshu... Shouldn't this be a high-ranking official?"

"Brother Zhong, I don't understand now. Although the Ministry of Punishment is high, it is only one of the Ministry of Punishment. My court has six departments of officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers. The heads of the departments are named Shangshu and Zheng. The third-rank official position, the deputy chief is the minister, and the third-rank official position, and the minister who leads the six ministries is called Shang Shuling, who is the second-rank official position."

It was He Minqing who was talking, who used to be a scholar. Later, because he couldn't live on, he followed Lu Huang to start a business. He has been in business for ten years. Although he is not a scholar, his status as a scholar is still there. Everyone thinks For fun, he still called him He Xiucai.

"Brother He still understands these things, so what kind of official position is the prime minister, it always feels very big?"

"That's not true." He Minqing said with a smile: "The prime minister is a first-rank official position, assisting the emperor in commanding the three provinces and six ministries.

How can it not be big?Although I have more than one first-rank official, except for the prime minister who has real power, the rest of the grand masters, grand masters, etc. are empty positions and only have titles. Although these people are not lower than the prime minister, they are empty without real power. The momentum is much lower, so when I was studying, some classmates laughed and said: I would rather be a fifth-rank governor than a first-rank Taifu. "

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha." These words elicited roars of laughter.

He Minqing smiled, and continued after everyone laughed, "However, there is a vacancy for the Minister of the Ministry of Ministers at the moment. Judging from the situation, I am afraid that Lord Xie will be able to occupy this position in a few years."

Zhong Qiyun asked suspiciously: "I heard that the order of promotion in the officialdom is extremely important? He just became the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment of the third grade, so he can become the Minister of the Ministry of Justice so soon?"

"Hey, brother Zhong is short-sighted." It was Lu Huang who spoke, "You don't know what the parents of Mr. Xie's family do?"

"What?" Zhong Qiyun definitely didn't know, when he asked Xie Wenyuan's age at that time, Xie Wenyuan didn't want to tell him, how could he talk about family affairs with him.

"Xie Wenyuan is the eldest son of General Xie at that time! General Xie is a first-class general in Dazhu, holding the military power in his hands!"

Zhong Qiyun was stunned when he heard the words, no wonder Xie Wenyuan has such a high force value, he is from the Junshi family for a long time!He really suffered a big loss without knowing it!

Xie Wenyuan's father holds military power, and now Xie Wenyuan is a civil servant... Is the Xie family all about style?Zhong Qiyun thought about it carefully, and found it even more scary. One has the real power of the court, and the other holds military power. It seems that they want to rebel!

How could the emperor allow it?It's fine not to cause trouble for Xie Wenyuan, but he still wants to promote Xie Wenyuan as a minister?

I'll go, it's better to just give Jiangshan to him.

"However, I heard that this Xie Wenyuan was not close to his family. His father wanted him to be a general, but he passed the imperial examination and became a civil servant... I heard that although he was in Jingzhao, he almost If you don't go to the General's Mansion, you won't know what happened there..."

Before He Xiucai could finish speaking, a male voice suddenly interjected, scolding angrily: "Which one of you dares to make irresponsible remarks here?"

"What about Mr. Xie and the general's mansion has nothing to do with you? How can you speculate behind your back!"

The speaker was about 20 years old, and he seemed to have just reached the crown. Seeing this, Zhong Qiyun was about to speak, but Lu Huang grabbed him and shook his head: "Master Hu."

The Hu family, the largest wealthy businessman in Suzhou and Hangzhou.
