Yunzheng's face was full of joy. He really didn't expect to meet Wu Yu and Wu Xue at this moment. It was an unexpected surprise that the two of them could walk together.
Mei Yiting on the side did not understand the meaning of their words. He only saw that the two eldest ladies from the North and South Pavilions knew each other and the young marshal of the Yun family, and seemed to have a pretty good relationship. He immediately seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and hurriedly stood up.
When he arrived at Nangong Wuyu's side, he saluted Yunzheng and said, "Young Marshal, I just acted rudely and offended all the young marshals. Your Excellency, you don't remember the villain's fault. For the sake of Miss Nangong and Miss Beishan, please let me go."
Beishan Wuxue's face was expressionless, but Nangong Wuyu asked Yunzheng in surprise: "What's going on?"
Yun Zheng curled his lips and said nothing. Yun Weili hurriedly told what happened just now. After hearing this, Mei Yiting's face changed. He secretly cursed his son who is usually quite smart. Why is he so confused today? Why can't he see?
Since this group of people dare not take the Mei Mansion in Tianjin seriously, they naturally have extraordinary backgrounds. In this way, the fault for what happened today lies entirely with the Mei family. The Yun family has deep roots in the Wei Dynasty, and the two provinces of northern Xinjiang are their own backyard.
, whether the Mei family can survive is in front of him. Marshal Yun thought of this in a flash. Mei Yiting was sweating coldly. He knew that Beishan Wuxue's temperament must be too lazy to deal with this matter, so he had to look at Nangong Wuyu with pleading eyes.
Ning Pengxuan looked at his cousin's face and thought to himself that with Brother Feng's status, he would not care about the Mei family, so why not take advantage of the situation and give Miss Nangong some face? He wanted to understand this truth, suddenly slapped his thigh, and shouted
: "This Mr. Mei originally invited Miss Nangong... and Miss Beishan? We should have told him earlier, otherwise how could such a thing happen?"
Ning Pengxuan's words were actually very normal, but Nangong Wuyu had something in his heart and always felt a little ambiguous. He blushed and secretly looked at Yun Zheng and said: "We have only met Mr. Mei a few times, so now
This time Wuxue and I came to Yanjing on the order of the Lord. We passed by here the day before yesterday and happened to meet Mr. Mei outside the city. He invited Wuxue and I to visit Mei Mansion. The Mei family has always had a good relationship with our Sijiang Pavilion.
…Since this trip is on my way, I think it’s better to stay in Meifu than in an inn.”
Nangong Wuyu looked at Mei Lindong, who was still unconscious, and said: "This matter can be considered to be caused by me. Mr. Mei has been beaten like this, so I think this is the end of it."
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "Wu Yu... the girl has your destiny, how dare Yun Zheng disobey it?"
When Mei Yiting heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He felt weak all over. Then he realized that his back was already soaked. His heart skipped a few beats. Hearing from the tone of Marshal Yun, he had a close relationship with this Nangong girl.
, this Nangong girl is as beautiful as a fairy, could it be that Young Marshal Yun has fallen in love with her? Thinking of this, Mei Yiting couldn't help but her heart jumped twice. Fortunately, Dong'er didn't really do anything, otherwise Young Master Yun would
In Shuai Chongguan's rage, Mei Mansion must be razed to the ground.
Although Yunzheng did not pursue the matter, since he met the two girls here, he could not let them continue to live in Mei Mansion without paying attention, so he smiled and said: "You two ladies, since you are going to Yanjing
, I happen to be going back to Yanjing tomorrow, and there are some things I need to discuss with you two. But there are many people here, so why don’t we go to the mansion to discuss it in detail." After saying that, he looked at Mei Yiting and said, "Mr. Mei, your master.
The injury is not serious, so if you don’t treat it quickly, the two girls from Nangong and Beishan are old acquaintances with me, and we still need to catch up on old times.”
Mei Yiting finally heard something strange and quickly said: "The young marshal said that the common people should leave now."
After the Mei Mansion people had gone away, the accompanying white-clothed guard arrived. Li Dashan was very dissatisfied, but he did not dare to intervene in the white-clothed guard's affairs. He just looked a little hesitant, but Ning Pengxuan was unceremonious and went to be the leader.
The people scolded them, and then mobilized a few carriages and asked the two girls from Nangong and Beishan and Yun Zheng to get on the carriage and drive to the magistrate's residence. In fact, the white-clothed guards were a little unjust, because the people Li Dashan sent to invite people were only two servants of the Yun Mansion.
The guard in white didn't expect that his young marshal had sneaked out. He thought those two people were talking nonsense and almost sent them away. However, the leader was still cautious and quickly went into the house to search. Only then did he find that Yun Zheng was not there.
Those who came with men and horses had to follow the rules of the army. As a Shangguan, Ning Pengxuan couldn't tell the difference without asking him the reason for his late arrival. He had to wait until Ning Pengxuan asked him about it later.
As soon as Yun Zheng returned to the prefect's yamen, He Yi, the prefect of Tianjin, came over with a worried expression. He looked at Yun Zheng's face and said angrily: "The Mei family is so ignorant. They are so ignorant that they cannot recognize Mount Tai.
He actually bumped into the young marshal. This is really a capital crime. The officer also made some mistakes, so he asked the young marshal to punish him... The officer immediately brought in the offenders and brought them to the Yamen for questioning. How should the young marshal handle these people?
"
Yun Zheng was a little surprised. You must know that the Yun family's control over the local area mainly lies in the county government. The county magistrates in each county are appointed according to the wishes of the Yun family. However, at the prefect level, they are all officials selected by the court. The court can send
People who come to serve as officials in border towns are usually very loyal. It is quite strange that the governor He Yihe is so flattering to him.
Yun Zheng waved his hand: "No need, it's just a small misunderstanding. Besides, Mr. Mei is injured a lot right now. I'm afraid he won't get better in a month or two, so he has been punished."
He Yi hurriedly said: "The young commander is elegant and noble. Although the Mei family is vulgar, they must be deeply virtuous."
Yun Zheng smiled brightly. He was very skilled at flattering this man. He pursed his lips behind him and said, "These two girls are my friends. They will return to Yanjing with me tomorrow. We will be here tonight."
We'll just stay here for one night... Mr. He, do you still have a spare yard here?"
He Yi glanced at the two girls, quickly lowered his eyes, and responded: "The young marshal has given instructions. Not only does Xiaguan have a guest room courtyard here, but even if there is no empty courtyard, Xiaguan will have to use the courtyard when he moves out."
Come on, Young Marshal, don’t worry, I’ll go and make arrangements right away. It’s just that the place is simple, and I’m afraid of neglecting the two girls, so I hope Haihan will do it.”
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, you can go ahead."
He Yi quickly went to make arrangements.
Nangong Wuyu frowned and said, "This official is so spineless."
Yun Zheng raised his eyebrows: "Oh? How can you see that?"
Nangong Wuyu curled his lips: "Since seeing you, his waist has never straightened up."
Yunzheng smiled: "Some things can't just be taken at face value."
"Do you have a different opinion?" Nangong Wuyu didn't go around so much when talking to Yunzheng, he was very direct.
Yun Zheng turned to Yun Weili and Ning Pengxuan and said: "Wei Li is responsible for checking the posts. Pengxuan went to ask why the white-clothed guard was late just now." The two of them took orders respectively.
At this time, Yun Zheng led Nangong Wuyu and Beishan Wuxue into the central hall. After they sat down respectively, Yun Zheng said: "Originally, I thought this person was a weakling, but just now I discovered a detail."
"What details?" Nangong Wuyu asked with a frown.
"After he saw you, he just glanced at you briefly, then immediately lowered his head and spoke. His eyes were clear and there was no trace of covetousness or greed." Yun Zheng smiled and said, "Seeing such a beauty, his face does not change, let alone this person.
If you have no desires, you will never be a bad person."
"Perhaps this person is focused on his official career and not interested in women." This time, it was Beishan Wuxue who suddenly said this.
Yun Zheng knew that Beishan Wuxue had been dealing with intelligence matters, so he had a strong ability to judge these details. It was very difficult to convince her. Fortunately, Yun Zheng did not necessarily have the intention to convince them, so he said: "What you said is also very difficult.
Yes, but there is one thing. It is not I, Yun Chengfeng, who has the final say about He Yi's official position. It is the imperial court and His Majesty who have the final say. Therefore, he does not have enough reasons to flatter me in every possible way just because he is considering his official career."
Nangong Wuyu put a hand on his forehead: "Okay, okay, just tell me what you think. Once such a small thing is analyzed by you, it seems like there are countless inside stories. Are you tired?"
Yun Zheng couldn't help laughing: "What can I think? Why are you so flattering to me and excluding the possibility that he is born to be a slave? It's just to make me think that he is a timid and fearful person, so as to hide something from me."
"Oh? Do you suspect that he is hiding something from you on purpose?" Nangong Wuyu was a little surprised.
"He follows me around all day long, isn't it because he secretly withheld 30,000 taels of the 100,000 taels of silver I allocated from the governor's office to build Tianjin Port? Do you really think I don't know about this trivial matter?" Yun Zheng curled his lips.
road
"Thirty thousand for one hundred thousand?" Nangong Wuyu was surprised: "Why don't you arrest him?"
Yunzheng shook his head: "Shall I arrest him?" He sighed: "I arrested him today, and tomorrow the emperor will send a worse person to me. Where can I go to complain? What's the point?
Although he wasted 30,000 taels of silver, he managed to repair the Tianjin Port. Not only was the quality completely up to standard, but the work was also completed one month ahead of schedule. I can't bear to replace such a talent since he wasted money on it.
Part of it is the money he saved through careful calculation, so just treat it as a reward from this young marshal. As long as the business is done well, what does it matter?"
Nangong Wuyu was so surprised that he couldn't speak, but Beishan Wuxue frowned and said, "You are being indulgent."
Yun Zheng sighed in his heart, remembering a "joke" he had seen before traveling through time: It was said to be a student's composition, which wrote "My Ideal" like this: "Earn a Saudi salary, live in a British house, use a Swedish mobile phone, and wear a Swiss watch.
Marry a Korean woman, have a Japanese mistress, get a Thai massage, drive a German car, fly on an American plane, drink French red wine, eat Australian seafood, smoke Cuban cigars, wear Italian leather shoes, play with Spanish girls, watch Austrian opera, buy a Russian villa, hire a Filipino
Maid, with Israeli bodyguards, bathing in Turkish saunas, becoming a Chinese cadre..." The teacher commented: "That's long-winded! Just say the last sentence 'Become a Chinese cadre', and all the previous items can be realized!"
Yun Zheng shook his head, not thinking about what happened at that time, and said calmly: "An honest official does not necessarily mean a capable official, and a capable official does not necessarily mean an honest person. A person who is corrupt but can complete the tasks assigned by the superior official and can govern the place well.
If I were given a choice between a corrupt official and an honest but incompetent official, I would definitely choose the former because the former can at least do something, while the latter just eats all day long and only knows how to gain fame and reputation. In terms of his contribution to society, he is not as good as that corrupt official.
"
Nangong Wuyu said contemptuously: "Isn't there anyone who is both honest and capable?"
"Of course there are, but if there are too few, they are definitely not enough," Yun Zheng said without hesitation.
Nangong Wuyu wanted to speak, but Yun Zheng waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, I have my own plans on how to appoint officials. Please tell me how we came to Yanjing together - I just heard you say that he is my master.
the meaning of?"
Nangong Wuyu glanced at Beishan Wuxue, and seeing that she had no intention of speaking, he answered on his behalf: "The Lord passed down the sword order, saying that when Marshal Yun first took over the power, he must have introduced many big and small measures. Now it is the time when the lack of
It’s time for people, so let’s go north to Yanjing and wait for Marshal Yun’s ‘sent’.”
She said the word "mission" in a very strong way, and Yun Zheng naturally heard it, and couldn't help but smile: "Since it is the master's wish, as a disciple, I don't dare to disobey, otherwise I will wrong the two girls.
"
Beishan Wuxue remained expressionless, Nangong Wuyu pouted and muttered something unknown.
Yun Zheng heard it clearly, but he smiled even more happily: "Who says I don't cherish this fate? I do."
Nangong Wuyu pouted: "That's not obvious."
Yunzheng smiled helplessly and dotingly, walked to the elegant room next to him, stood in front of the piano, and said: "Play the piano and sing leisurely, a song for the beautiful lady."
Beishan Wuxue and Nangong Wuyu looked at each other. Nangong Wuyu chuckled and said, "Is there another new song?"
Yunzheng smiled, but did not answer. He only tried the music of the piano a little, and then started to sing: "The red dust is purple, the underworld is blue, the past life is boundless by fate."
The fragrant grass stretches to the sky, and the veins are continuous. Who can I tell anyone about this madness in this life?
The clouds are flowing thousands of feet, and I am lying drunk, who is drinking alone under the moon, dancing to figure out the shadow, sighing that the years have turned into wasted in a blink of an eye
Who can laugh in this floating life? When the lights on the balcony are turned off, I look back and see the flowers and the smoke.
I have red hands, and I just praised the color. I felt lovesickness on the string and sang the song again and again.
I have a Jiaowei Qin, but the strings are broken and there is no one to play with. The ancients have gone to the high-rise buildings and who can sing with them?
The dew was like crying in the eyes, and the fireworks could not be cut. At that time, the orchid boat was leisurely going to the horizon in my eyes.
The dream soul is unfettered, lingering even in the next life, suddenly sitting alone behind a curtain and having fun
If you look at the flowers near the water, they will wither easily. Who can understand this lingering hatred?
The clouds are flying and the mist is disappearing, the beauty is broken and the jade is cracking. I can’t see any other way out, but I can’t help but sigh.
Could it be that I was obsessed with butterflies in my dream? One night in the small building in the spring rain, I met someone under the willow tree outside the flower. The first time they met was actually the marriage of three lifetimes.
Thousands of mountains hate to be separated, Qingshang Miaomiao is gone, and the karma of fate will continue in his past and next lives."
(Special recommendation: Mo Mingqi Miao's "The Tribulation of Karma", especially the section "I have red hands... suddenly I am sitting alone behind a curtain and enjoying myself")----------------
------------------------In a restaurant not far from the prefect's Yamen, Mei Yiting asked nervously: "Master He, Mr. Yun
Where is handsome...?"
He Yi sighed softly: "Yiting, how did your son teach you? A person like Marshal Yun should be able to tell that he is extraordinary wherever he goes. How come... Well, it's a good thing you know that Nangong
The girl is only a pavilion, but Marshal Yun rarely gets bumped into by others. He has always been successful, but suddenly he suffered like this. It is normal for him to feel a little uncomfortable. If he does anything..."
Mei Yiting felt a chill in his heart: "Young Commander Yun, won't you let it go?"
He Yi sighed again, as if hesitating a little
Mei Yiting gritted his teeth and said, "If Mr. He can save the Mei family from this difficulty, Mei Yiting is willing to..."
"Alas, alas, alas! What are you talking about!" He Yi looked unhappy: "We have known each other for more than a day or two. I, He, am in Tianjin. Thanks to your cooperation in Yiting, we can be so trouble-free.
?As for Young Marshal Yun, I went out of my way to beg you for a favor. Young Marshal Yun saw that I was busy with the construction of Tianjin Port for him, which he is particularly concerned about at the moment, so he finally gave me a favor..."
Mei Yiting was overjoyed: "Whatever conditions Young Marshal Yun has, as long as the Mei family can achieve them, I won't give a shit!"
He Yidao: "Although the Tianjin Port has been built well according to the allocation of the governor's Yamen, it is not big enough or impressive enough. Marshal Yun has just taken over the power. How can he let it go like this? The current situation is just due to the governor's Yamen's lack of financial resources, so...
...If Yiting can contribute something to this matter, Marshal Yun is a person who does big things after all. Once the business is done and he feels happy, he will naturally not care about the mere misunderstanding. Do you think this is the truth?"
Mei Yiting was startled for a moment, then nodded and gritted his teeth: "What Mr. He said is that if you don't want to let your children catch a wolf, my Mei family is willing to invest 300,000 taels to help Tianjin government expand Tianjin Port again! Please tell Mr. He.
Marshal Yun, Mei Yiting has no way to teach his son, so he has no choice but to atone for his sins."
When He Yi heard about three hundred thousand taels, he was frightened and immediately became excited. This was three hundred thousand taels of silver. With such a large sum of money pouring in, Tianjin Port could at least double its size.
, so Tianjin Port is probably not smaller than Yangzhou Port! In the entire Wei Dynasty, only Guangzhou Port is larger than Tianjin! With such political achievements, not to mention Yun Zheng will definitely feel that he is capable of doing things, just
