It's dark at night and the weather is cold and rainy in spring. Hiding in a warm bed is the choice of most people.
Concubine Tian is from Jiangnan and is more afraid of the cold, so she has already taken off her makeup and gone to bed, falling asleep.
While she was sleeping, she suddenly heard the sound of "The Emperor has arrived" and woke up with a jolt.
Ever since the last time she made the emperor unhappy because of her father's affairs, Concubine Tian had been extremely careful in serving Emperor Chongzhen and tried her best to keep the emperor's favor in her. Because the emperor was her heaven and hers.
all of.
In this way, her sensitive nerves were exercised. She had heard the sound of "The Emperor is coming" in her dreams several times before, but when she woke up, it was not there.
But when Concubine Tian woke up this time, she found that Emperor Chongzhen was indeed standing at the head of her bed. She couldn't help but shouted "Your Majesty" in surprise, then sat up and prepared to salute. The brocade quilt covering her body slipped off, revealing only one
A beautiful jade body wearing a tight-fitting silk dress.
There was a heater in the room, which was generally quite warm. But because Emperor Chongzhen walked in in a hurry, he brought a chill, which made Concubine Tian sneeze directly as she was about to salute.
Emperor Chongzhen was preparing to scold Concubine Tian with a straight face. But when he saw her sneeze, his heart suddenly softened. Worried that she would catch a cold, he quickly said: "Without courtesy, lie down and cover yourself with the quilt."
Concubine Tian had just noticed Emperor Chongzhen's cold face and was feeling frightened. When she suddenly heard Emperor Chongzhen's concerned words, she couldn't believe it and froze there.[
"Lie down quickly, be careful of catching a cold." Seeing that Concubine Tian remained motionless, Emperor Chongzhen said again, and sat on the edge of the bed as he spoke.
In fact, at this time, the cold air brought in by Emperor Chongzhen had dissipated, and the room had returned to warmth. It was impossible for Concubine Tian to freeze.
Among the three concubines, Emperor Chongzhen liked Concubine Tian the most. Because she was not only elegant in manners, but also versatile. She was not good at music, chess, calligraphy and painting, Cuju, horseback riding or shooting. What was even more special was that she had a special body fragrance.
.
If Tian Guifei's affairs did not conflict with the major events of reviving the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen would generally not be angry with her.
Concubine Tian Guifei had heard Emperor Chongzhen's words clearly and saw that his face softened. She knew in her heart that she had to follow the emperor's wishes at this time, so she lay down obediently and stretched out her jade hand to pull it slightly.
The quilt covered the jade body.
Emperor Chongzhen saw that the quilt did not cover Concubine Tian's neck, so he covered her again.
Concubine Tian Guifei was lying there, seeing the ninety-five-year-old man in front of her gently covering her with a quilt, and she couldn't help but feel a sweet feeling in her heart. However, she still remembered the cold face of Emperor Chongzhen before, so she asked softly
: "Your Majesty, did I do something wrong?"
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he wanted to pretend to be angry, but after smelling Concubine Tian's unique body fragrance and seeing her obedient kitten-like expression, he softened his heart and stopped pretending and asked directly:
"Have you conveyed what I asked you to warn Governor Zuo before?"
After Concubine Tian thought about it for a moment, she immediately remembered that it was about the Ming Dynasty's currency notes. She quickly replied to Emperor Chongzhen: "I will take care of everything your Majesty tells me and will do it as soon as possible."
Then she was a little worried that her father had done something outrageous to anger the emperor, so she tentatively asked: "Your Majesty, has something happened to my father?"
Emperor Chongzhen looked obviously relieved after hearing Concubine Tian's words. The concubine would definitely not ignore her words. It seemed that it was her father's own problem.
Now seeing Concubine Tian asking, Emperor Chongzhen replied: "Go and inform Governor Zuo again. If he is still stubborn and still fantasizes about making money from the court with others, don't blame me for disowning this father-in-law. Then he will
Don't come to me crying, asking for money for food from my beloved concubine."
When Concubine Tian heard this, she quickly apologized for her father and said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. My father is old and confused, and he has lost his sights on money. I will send someone early tomorrow morning to let him understand your Majesty's love and care for him."
.”
At this time, Concubine Tian understood that her father was afraid that the businessman's nature had resurfaced. Now that he was the dignified Governor-General of Zuo of the Ming Dynasty, he no longer had to worry about food and clothing, but he was still thinking of ways to make money. The key was to offend the emperor now.
It really shouldn’t be done!
Emperor Chongzhen nodded after hearing this: "That's very good. I won't warn him a third time."[
"I thank you, Your Majesty." After saying that, Concubine Tian started to get up again.
Emperor Chongzhen held her down and said, "You don't need to be so polite. I only gave him a few chances for your sake. You can rest, I'll go to Concubine Yuan."
When Concubine Tian heard this, she raised up half her body with her left hand, held Emperor Chongzhen's left sleeve with her right hand, and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, my concubine, that matter is over. Your Majesty is giving me face like this."
, let me serve your Majesty tonight as my concubine! Okay?"
Emperor Chongzhen listened to Concubine Tian's charming voice and saw her proud bulge on the right side of her upper body exposed from the quilt, as if she wanted to break through the silk dress. He felt itchy in his heart and said with a smile: "Then let's do it by
My beloved, please repay me well."
Everyone knew what was going to happen next with Emperor Chongzhen and Concubine Tian, so there was nothing more to say. The Governor Zuo they mentioned earlier was not sleeping at this time either, and was in his study asking about his family who had just returned.
"Tian Fu, have you found out who else is rushing to buy the Ming Dynasty Tongbao banknotes?" Tian Hong asked his close family members.
Tian Fu bowed and replied: "Sir, I am really capable. Apart from the few companies you mentioned, I really can't find out who is purchasing."
Tian Hongyu frowned and murmured in his heart. He is a businessman, and his instinct makes him feel at ease only after he understands his competitors.
He contacted several more powerful nobles and secretly purchased the Ming Dynasty Tongxing Baobao at a low price, and then prepared to build momentum to force the court to give the Ming Dynasty Tongxing Baobao the same treatment as the Ming Dynasty Jiusi Baobao, or reduce it by one level.
OK.
But now there is a mysterious buyer who is secretly competing with them to acquire the Ming Dynasty Tongxing Baobao, which has increased the cost of their acquisition invisibly.
Although different people were responsible for the acquisitions, his intuition told him that there was only one person behind those people. And that person should be quite powerful. He had once joined forces with his accomplices to lower the price, but the treasure money he released was used by that person.
People ate them all, as much as they could eat. As a result, they had to buy at a high price with that person.
Tian Hongyu originally wanted to recruit that person to join the gang, but no matter how he searched, he could not find the person behind it.
I checked several times before, just like Tian Tianfu's answer, but there was no result.
Now the price for purchasing Daming Tongxing Baobao is getting higher and higher, and both parties are in a stalemate.
Tian Hongyu was a little annoyed. He was going to persuade other companies to give more money, and they would spend more money together to see whether they could survive with more money or that person could survive with more money.
"What's the status of the Baochao acquisition over in Jiangnan?" Tian Hongyu thought for a moment and asked Tian Fudao again.
"Master, the stock of treasure notes in the south of the Yangtze River is not as large as that in the north, and there are people there who are secretly buying it. We haven't collected much." Tian Fu's news was not good, so he kept bending his waist and did not dare to straighten it.
stand up.
"The Ming Dynasty Jiusi Baobao has not yet been used in Jiangnan, but someone has secretly purchased it. It seems that the people there are also in the capital, or they were sent there by the capital."
Tian Hongyu summarized the situation, then touched his long beard and shook his head thinking. From another aspect, these situations seemed to indicate that not only his group was optimistic about the prospects of the appreciation of Ming Tongbao Banknotes. Yes, Tian
Hong Yu secretly praised in his heart that his vision was still good.
He has always been proud of his own vision. After his ex-wife passed away after giving birth to a daughter, he saw that her daughter would be a beautiful child in the future. Therefore, he paid a high price to find a luthier from Yangzhou to teach his daughter piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, etc. Thanks to her daughter's intelligence,
You will learn it once you learn it.
As her daughter grew up, she became more and more beautiful. She was truly a rare treasure, and Tian Hongyu eventually became the governor-general of the left.
"Forget it, go down. Remember to invite those families tomorrow morning. I want to entertain them." Tian Hongyu thought for a while and said to Tian Fu.
"Yes, sir." Tian Fu bowed lower and then walked backwards out of the study.
Tian Hongyu saw that Tian Fu had gone out, so he picked up the abacus on the desk and began to type. Then he looked at the numbers on it and calculated them secretly. Then he put the abacus back to its original state and left the study.
At dawn the next day, Tian Fu set out to deliver messages to those houses. Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the door, he saw a eunuch coming this way.
He recognized this person as the eunuch who was serving the young lady, and was slightly surprised as to why he had come so early. Could it be that there was something urgent, so he hurried over to greet him.
Sure enough, before he could say anything, the eunuch asked: "Where is Governor Zuo? Your concubine has something important to say to Governor Zuo."
Tian Fu had no choice but to leave his errands aside. It was still early anyway, so he welcomed the eunuch from the palace in first.
Tian Hongyu hadn't gotten up yet. Hearing that someone was coming from the palace, he knew that his daughter must have something important to do if she came so early on such a cold day, so he didn't dare to neglect, so he quickly got out of the warm bed.
After seeing off the eunuch, Tian Hongyu hesitated a little and started walking back and forth in the lobby, thinking about this matter.
Judging from what his daughter conveyed, Emperor Chongzhen was a little annoyed. In the past, when he was annoyed, he was just annoyed. A group of them joined forces to do it, and Emperor Chongzhen couldn't do anything. No matter how big it was, he bribed some censors to write memorials and torture them every day.
The emperor can go.
But things are different now. The great victory in Gyeonggi Province that just passed has made Emperor Chongzhen's prestige much higher. What's more terrible is that the power of the censor to make reports after hearing the news has been abolished, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate is still being restructured, and there are previous
An example of anti-corruption is that even if you want to do something, you can't do it.
With the current situation in the court, if Emperor Chongzhen gets angry and does something, I'm afraid there won't be many opponents.
But I have put a lot of thought into this matter and invested a lot of capital. I did the math last night and figured that if I invest more money, I should be able to defeat the man in the dark. I really don’t want to give up here!
Tian Hongyu then thought about those families who were also powerful. If they united together, what could Emperor Chongzhen do? His unwillingness to lose money finally gained the upper hand, and Tian Hongyu chose not to listen to his daughter's warning again.
"Go, why are you staying here, why don't you go and send the invitation?" After Tian Hongyu made up his mind, he found that Tian Fu was still waiting aside, he couldn't help but cursed, and kicked Tian Fu out of the door.
