Hong Zhenji looked at Xu Zhiqiong and said with a smile: "Just now Anzi sent news that Hong Huaheng, the Third Holy Son, has lost some restraint in the past few days and almost died on the concubine's belly."
Xu Zhiqiong was startled: "You mean, right away... the wind?"
Hong Zhenji was startled: "Yes, Ma Feng! In fact, it can't be called Ma Feng. The third child is still alive, but his body can't move for the time being."
Xu Zhiqiong let out a sigh of relief, and it turned out to be Konger.
"You can't move your body, so you can't do the errand of delivering money to Tu Nu?"
He firmly believed that he could impress the Tunu messenger with his sincerity!
Halfway through Xu's hour, Bo Nie came to tell Zhou Jinxiu that he had entered the palace to give a reply.
Zhou Jinxiu, the Minister of Household Affairs, was severely beaten by Shu Wang Hong Zhenji because of the cotton-padded clothes incident. The injury has not healed yet. He claimed to be ill for the past two days and did not attend the morning court.
Bo Nie came to take a quick look, and was quite satisfied: "Is this a gift from your monarch, or is it a gift from you?"
Zhou Jinxiu put his face to the ground and explained his purpose.
Qin Yan stood aside silently.
He could guess the purpose of the divine king summoning him.
Dr. Ronglu is a casual official, that is, he only has an official rank and no real power, but this is a symbol of status.
The more critical the situation was, the less careless it was. Zhou Jinxiu stayed up all night and carefully planned the route, manpower, carriages and horses for escorting the silver coins, and reported it to the Shenjun Hall again that afternoon.
Yao Jingtai is the leader of the Black Guards, his official position is Black Guards, and his rank is the third grade.
The imperial doctor quickly prescribed the medicine and repeatedly warned: "In the past few days, the Holy Son must rest well and rest. He must not drink alcohol and must not approach women again. Remember, remember!"
At noon the next day, Liang Yuyao came back from the Shenjun Hall and met Xu Zhiqiong for a drink again.
…
Haven't we met today? Why do we have to meet again tomorrow?
You have to tell Master Chang about this.
"I have your filial piety, but there is less fighting." Bo Nielai stood in front of Zhou Jinxiu, with the upper part of his shoes facing Zhou Jinxiu's face, "In three days, we will set off from your capital, and I will escort the silver with you.
Tunu!”
Changing schools is a serious matter, but Hong Juncheng just met Liang Yuyao yesterday and asked her to go there again today. Isn't it just for this matter?
For the black-clad guards who don't have much money to offer, the temptation of 50,000 taels is too great, and there is a possibility of mutiny and embezzlement.
This is sincerity, sincerity from Qiancheng!
There are eight battalion lieutenants under the guard lieutenant, whose rank is the fourth rank. Each battalion lieutenant is in charge of a black-clad battalion, and each battalion has one hundred people.
Liang Yuyao recalled for a moment and said: "It's nothing urgent. He gave me some porcelain. You can take a look at it later and take away what you like."
Hong Juncheng was quite satisfied with this and was granted the title of First Grade Honorary Doctor.
But I won’t allow our students to come to him. What can we learn from him? Are we going to learn a bunch of disgusting ancient rituals and go back?"
Hong Juncheng sighed for a long time and told Qin Yan: "Take the imperial physician to Hua Heng to diagnose his illness. Just get the necessary medicinal materials from me."
Done!
However, despite their high official position and status, the black guards had little contact with the outside world and did not receive many benefits other than salary.
Unfortunately, Bo Nie Lai was being intimate with his concubine at the time, and he did not notice that Zhou Jinxiu came in on his knees. He did not see this sincerity.
A war turned into jade and silk!
Zhou Jinxiu returned to Shangshu Mansion, wrote the memorial, detailed the difficulties and twists and turns in the process, and reported to the Shenjun Hall the next day.
Liang Yuyao gnawed on the leg of mutton and said: "He wants to send people to study in Daxuan. This matter is easy to talk about. Yuyang doesn't need to take care of it. I just arrange a place for them."
Now Zhou Jinxiu must clearly understand the essence of the matter. This is not just a simple handover between the two banks. This is a key measure to restore the good relationship between the two countries, and the key among the keys lies in sincerity!
They are likely to interact with the harem, so the eunuchs supervise the Zhen'an Palace very strictly.
But Qin Yan looked at it very seriously. From the route to the manpower, he clearly remembered every detail, especially the words of the Lord Shen:
"Five million silver is not a small amount. In the past, we should have asked the Shenji Division to handle this matter." At this point, Hong Juncheng sighed, "That's all, let Yao Jingtai select a hundred people from the black guards and follow them.
Go."
After hearing the summons from the Lord God, Zhou Jinxiu quickly found someone to dress him up and cover all the scars on his face.
But the guards in black clothes are all men, and they have other troubles living in the Divine Lord's Palace.
According to Hong Juncheng's idea, he wanted to send a group of students to Daxuan to study, and at the same time, he also asked Daxuan to send a group of students to Qiancheng to study.
In fact, if the black guards want to leave Zhen'an Hall, they don't need to go through the door at all. What really prevents them is the strict hierarchy and laws within the black guards.
Based on his understanding of Shenjun, Shenjun was not angry, but at most a little disappointed and dissatisfied.
Bo pinched the concubine's cheek, turned to look at Zhou Jinxiu, and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Hong Juncheng has no intention of looking at these plans. He wants people to give people and cars to cars, so he can prepare it himself.
Zhou Jinxiu knelt under the main hall and kowtowed first to Bo Nian. Bo did not say anything, and Zhou Jinxiu kept kowtowing.
In front of the Holy Envoy Palace, Zhou Jinxiu, the Minister of Household Affairs, knelt outside the main hall, waiting for Bonie to come and summon him.
Apologizing on behalf of King Shu was based on sincerity. Cutting out the tongue would definitely not work.
Zhou Jinxiu presented the prepared sincerity, fifty thousand taels of silver, thirty pieces of silk, twenty pieces of official kiln porcelain, and ten beauties.
There are five cavalry lieutenants under the battalion lieutenant, with a rank of up to fifth rank. Each cavalry lieutenant is in charge of twenty strong men in black.
…
Hong Juncheng was not interested in these twists and turns. He just wanted to see the result. Tunu successfully accepted five million taels of silver, and the trouble caused by Hong Zhenji was resolved.
In the main hall of the Divine Lord, Yushu Pavilion, Hong Juncheng rubbed his forehead and sighed repeatedly: "You are a traitor, you really are a traitor! If this matter is spread, where will the royal family's face be?"
Zhou Jinxiu quickly kowtowed and said: "A certain generation of King Shu apologized to your country!"
After hearing this, Hong Zhenji thought for a moment and said, "Yes, he really can't do this job."
But God doesn't allow him to directly send an entire battalion there, so he has to think carefully.
An errand to hand over the bank did not seem to be a great achievement, but King Shu Hong Zhenji had previously offended the envoy of Tunu, and the nature of the whole incident changed.
Deep in the clouds and mist, he saw a majestic figure beneath himself and above ten thousand people.
Zhen'an Hall, the residence of the black guards.
When they arrived at the residence of the Third Saint Son, the imperial physician examined Hong Huaheng's pulse and found that Hong Huaheng's pulse was extremely weak and he was covered in constant sweating.
Bo smiled and said: "Are you here to give me money? Where is Hong Zhenji? He said that our big Tunu is a beggar and I want to cut out his tongue. Why doesn't he dare to come?"
Xu Zhiqiong smiled slightly, it seemed that the Third Holy Son was really a smart man.
Zhou Jinxiu failed in the previous tax collection, and this time he had to regain his face no matter what when it came to handing over the money.
An envoy to declare the country?
Qin Yan's heart tightened.
Several officials from the Ministry of Revenue knelt with him for a long time. Seeing that Bo Nie had replied, they were about to help Zhou Jinxiu up, but Zhou Jinxiu pushed them aside.
…
Officials from the Ministry of Finance, big and small, climbed together. As they climbed, they shed tears for the sincerity of Lord Shangshu.
Qin Yan was about to go to Zhen'an Palace when she heard the Lord Shen's instructions: "Remind Yao Jingtai not to choose people from the same camp. Make a list for me after you have made your choice."
The black-robed warriors are the lowest-level existence in the black-robed camp. Even at the lowest level, the black-robed warriors still have official positions of the sixth rank. Higher official positions and status are important means to maintain the loyalty of the black-robed guards.
Yao Jingtai received the decree. Shenjun wanted one hundred people, and a black-clad battalion needed exactly one hundred people. Everyone in the battalion knew each other well, and the deployment was smooth.
His face turned red and white, sometimes he was smiling, and sometimes he was in tears.
"Your Highness, why is Hong Juncheng looking for you this time?"
Make a roster?
Zhou Jinxiu walked on his knees and climbed into the main hall step by step!
There were more than two hundred steps, with dozens of stone steps in between, so Zhou Jinxiu climbed in step by step.
"The king's thoughts, the ministers' sincerity." Zhou Jinxiu answered very cleverly.
"Change schools!" Liang Yuyao said, "I didn't agree to it."
Exchange of schools is a common means of diplomatic relations, which is the exchange of students between two countries.
"Your Highness, Hong Juncheng didn't mention anything else?"
"I'm full and went to sleep," Liang Yuyao yawned, "You can eat slowly here!"
In order to prevent the black-clothed guards from interacting with the outside world, they were arranged to live in the Divine Lord's Hall.
Xu Zhiqiong held his chopsticks and thought for a long time, always feeling that Hong Juncheng's temperament was becoming more and more elusive.
Zhou Jinxiu received the seal ribbon and returned to the mansion, remaining silent for an entire hour.
If you just walk in like this, you won't be able to show your sincerity at all.
Yao Jingtai knew what the Lord Shen was thinking. Five million silver was not a small sum. He sent an entire battalion. If he had his mind set, one hundred people would be divided into five million silver, and each person could get fifty thousand taels.
Qin Yan understood what the Lord Shen meant, which was to let the imperial doctor test whether something had really happened to the Third Holy Son.
…
Kneeling from noon to dusk, Zhou Jinxiu looked determined and did not move.
If you want to be promoted to the Third Qing Dynasty in the future, obtaining the first-grade official rank first is also an extremely powerful bargaining chip.
"Apologise on his behalf?" Bo Nielai said with a smile, "Since you say that, should I cut your tongue?"
Zhou Jinxiu was kneeling like this!
That's even better.
But the so-called guarding is only in name. The eunuchs of Qiancheng Kingdom are not allowed to practice. Facing a group of black-clothed guards with high cultivation levels, the eunuchs can only guard the door.
At this hour, others are sitting in the mansion, but their hearts are flying in the clouds of Qiancheng Kingdom.
Qin Yan returned to the palace and reported truthfully. Hong Juncheng gave a wry smile and told Qin Yan: "Summon the Minister of Household Affairs to see you tomorrow, and summon the envoy of Xuanguo to see you tomorrow."
After deliberation for a long time, Yao Jingtai selected from each battalion one by one. Each battalion selected a dozen people, made a list, and handed it to Qin Yan.
Qin Yan looked at the roster, shook her head slightly and said, "Sir Weiwei, please list everyone's official positions and cultivation levels so that the Lord God can see clearly at a glance."
Yao Jingtai nodded and said, "Qin Zhangyin should be careful."
