Yang Feng really thought of doing it, and soon he wrote the letter to Huang Taiji. However, before sending someone to Huang Taiji, he had to let Zhu Youxiao read it. This is called political correctness in modern times, otherwise Zhu Youxiao would know that even if he didn't say it, he would definitely have grudges in his heart.
Because Zhu Youxiao was still very weak, he did not go to court these days, but rested in Zhang Yan's Kunning Palace. So after learning that Yang Feng was asking for a meeting, Zhu Youxiao met him in a yard of Kunning Palace.
"I said to Yang Aiqing, you have just returned to Beijing, why are you thinking about Huang Taiji again?" Looking at the letter in your hand full of threatening tone, Zhu Youxiao's face was filled with laughter and crying expressions.
Yang Feng spread his hands helplessly: "I don't want to do it either. Who asked me to steal the wife? Now that woman is always clamoring to bring her two women to her side. If I don't agree to her, I dare to shy my face. I have no choice but to come up with this bad idea."
Zhu Youxiao looked funny: "Oh... I wrote this letter to deal with your concubine!"
"It's not entirely true." Yang Feng coughed lightly: "I am serious. If Huang Taiji doesn't send me my two daughters over, I will lead the army to welcome them back in person."
"Absurd..." Zhu Youxiao scolded in anger and funny way: "Military and national affairs are not a joke. Do you know how much food and grass should be consumed every day once the army starts to move, and how much weapons it will consume? Are you not sensible?
"I don't need your Majesty to pay money from the court."
Yang Feng made Zhu Youxiao speechless with just one word. He forgot that the famous local tyrant in front of him. His Royal Ming Dynasty trader gives him three to four million taels of silver every year. Not to mention how much he earned in private. What else can he say if he is willing to pay out of his own pocket to fight the Tartars? Is this the legendary rich and willful?
Seeing Zhu Youxiao rolling his eyes helplessly, Yang Feng coughed slightly embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, although I know that I am a little willful, if my woman doesn't even feel pain, would it be better for others to feel pain? Moreover, I heard that Huang Taiji has been raising energy outside the pass for the past year. He had also made an expedition to Mobei a few days ago, plundering a large number of horses and supplies. Recently, he has plans to expedition to North Korea. So I feel that it is necessary to hit him and not to expand his strength too quickly. This will be very unfavorable for us to eliminate them in the future."
"You!" Principal Zhu You sighed: "Okay, since you have made your plans, I won't say anything, but you have to remember that if you really want to fight in the north, you must be careful and you can't get yourself in it, otherwise I will take your Ming Dynasty Royal Trading Company into the inner warehouse."
Yang Feng pretended to be disdainful and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, you don't have this opportunity!"
"Hahaha……"
After saying that, the two looked at each other and laughed loudly at the same time. A warm friendship arose in their hearts...
After Yang Feng left, Zhang Yan came over with two personal palace maids. Zhu Youxiao told Zhang Yan about this. Zhang Yan was amazed after hearing this: "I didn't expect that Jiang Ningbo was such a person with a temperament. He even started a war for his concubine. Before entering the palace, I often heard stories about scholars saying that Emperor Minghuang of Tang loved beauty but not the country. I originally thought it was just a fabrication by others, but I didn't expect that such a thing was really happening."
Seeing his wife's envious look, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but become jealous and pretended to be disdainful: "Zi Tong, don't listen to that boy bragging randomly. I guess he hasn't been itchy in a long time since he started fighting, so he just found an excuse."
Zhang Yan looked at her husband's angrily look and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckled: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, but His Majesty has forgotten to do something."
"What's up?"
Seeing Zhu Youxiao's puzzled look, Zhang Yan sighed: "Your Majesty was plotted against by a villain this time, and he almost... Fortunately, Jiang Ning Bo came to Fujian to rescue him. As the saying goes, the best is to save him. Jiang Ning Bo made such a great contribution, don't you plan to reward him?"
"Oh... you are talking about this!" Zhu Youxiao laughed as soon as he heard this and waved his hand, "I am free to argue about this."
Seeing Zhu Youxiao's casual look, Zhang Yan was anxious: "Your Majesty, you can ease anything, but this matter cannot be eased."
"Um……"
Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhang Yan in confusion, "Zi Tong, why are you so anxious?"
Zhang Yan said anxiously: "Your Majesty, it is up to you to reward Jiang Ningbo, it is up to you to do your own thing. The harem cannot interfere in political affairs. But today, I will say that Jiang Ningbo has made great contributions to my Ming Dynasty. First, he pacified the pirates in Fujian and rebuilt the navy. After receiving your urgent call, he rushed to rescue the emperor day and night. As the king of a country, if you cannot clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments, how can you convince people? In the long run, this may make the meritorious ministers feel heartbroken!"
Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhang Yan with anxiety, and a happy smile appeared on his face. He hugged Zhang Yan and said with a smile: "Zi Tong filtered it. I am not a mean and polite person. Jiang Ning Bo has made such a great contribution, how can I not reward me? Don't worry, the reward order should have arrived in Yang Feng's mansion now."
"The emperor who followed the heavens to inherit the fortunes, and the imperial edict said that Yang Feng, the Bo from Jiangning, was diligent in his duties and made great contributions to the country... Now he was specially granted the title of Marquis of Jiangning, and was given a elixir certificate. I wish this!"
Just as Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Yan were discussing Yang Feng, our protagonist received an imperial edict from the palace as soon as he returned to the mansion. When the eunuch announced the order, all the servants in the mansion cheered happily. Yang Laishun, the butler who was always used to sternly scolding people on weekdays, rarely did not come out to stop them.
Everyone knows that the Zhu family is famously stingy about titles. In addition to a group of heroes at the beginning of the founding of the country and during the Jingnan period, the number of people who were able to be awarded titles in the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years was counted. Many people even asserted that the previous emperors of the Zhu family may have different personalities, but they are absolutely consistent in their stinginess with titles. Some people joke that the Zhu family may not award titles to others in the Ming Dynasty.
However, this prophecy has been broken in recent years.
Yang Feng... This guy from an ordinary family rose from the Qianhu family in less than three years, like a rocket. It took only more than a year to go from the count to the marquis. The most rare thing is that the emperor also gave him iron coupons for alchemy. This also means that as long as his lineage does not commit serious crimes such as rebellion, his title can last forever with the Ming Dynasty. What the ancients said about Guangzong and Yaozu was talking about Yang Feng.
But our loyal butler Yang Laishun still felt a little regretful. His wife's wife (who should be called Marquis now) turned out to be a Mongolian woman rather than a Han woman, otherwise it would be even more perfect.
Don’t blame Yang Laishun for having such an idea. You should know that the Ming nationality in the 17th century was still very proud, and most ordinary people were proud of their Han identities. Unlike some elites and compradors hundreds of years later, when they saw foreigners more enthusiastic than their own fathers, even if foreigners lost their bicycles, they took it as a top priority.
The ministers in the court were not too surprised that Yang Feng was appointed as a marquis. After all, this guy had such a good personal relationship with the emperor. Not long ago, he saved Zhu Youxiao's life. It was too easy to be named a marquis or something. And the most important thing is that the cabinet officials have no say in such a title. This is the private matter of the Zhu family. Even if he was dissatisfied, he could only talk about it privately.
Yang Feng knew that he would not spend too much time in the capital, after all, there was still a lot of things in Fujian. So during this period, except for the occasional training in the palace under the imperial edict, he spent the rest of his time with Hai Lanzhu and other three girls. With his hard work, Hai Lanzhu also heard that he was pregnant half a month later. At this time, Yang Feng was about to leave the capital and prepare to return to Fujian. After all, he had been away from Fujian for more than a month. I guess the things there had been piled up, but he still had something to do before leaving the capital.
When Wei Zhongxian saw Yang Feng visiting, the surprised expression on his face was really not pretending.
"Marty Jiangning, you are such a rare guest!"
"Hahaha..." Yang Feng laughed, "Why, I have long heard of the name of the Silijian. I have wanted to come over and see it, but I am always plagued by military affairs on weekdays. Today I can finally take time to visit Eunuch Wei."
Wei Zhongxian's mouth twitched. Others didn't know what Yang Feng had in the capital these days. As a eunuch and admiral of the East Factory, he still didn't know what he was doing. Apart from the necessary official duties and the reunion of the palace to accompany His Majesty, this guy spent the rest of his time in the mansion to accompany his wife. Fortunately, he could still say that he was always plagued by military affairs. Don't you blush if you lie in front of me, the admiral of the East Factory?
However, Wei Zhongxian was not stupid enough to expose it on the spot. This is the case in the officialdom. If you see through it and don’t say it out loud, it will be boring to say something.
Soon a little eunuch came to serve tea. After taking a sip of tea, Yang Feng said bluntly: "Eunuch Wei, I am here today because I want to ask you for help."
Wei Zhongxian looked surprised: "Oh...what can't even do the marquis?"
Yang Feng smiled faintly: "There is a ruler and a shortcoming. Even the emperor, who is the emperor, may not be able to do everything well, let alone us ministers, do you think so?"
