After finally waiting for Li Ren to temporarily stop giving orders and take a drink of water, Yunxi immediately stepped forward and said, "Mr. Li is really busy."
Li Ren didn't pay attention to their group because the people here were walking around. Hearing Yunxi's words, he quickly stood up and saluted and said: "Li Ren, the minister of the Bashu Division of the Ministry of Finance, has met His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun." Everyone else present was surprised.
Not knowing Yunxi, they were shocked when they heard Li Ren's words. The low-ranking officials saluted and said: "The humble minister so-and-so of the Yamen has seen His Highness the Emperor Taisun." The officials and craftsmen without official status, etc.
People fell to their knees one after another. Some could still speak, while others were too frightened or too excited to speak.
Yunxi said to everyone present: "Without courtesy, all ministers and common people, please get up."
The officials were okay, they just finished the salute; the officials, who had seen a lot of senior officials, quickly reacted, kowtowed and got up; but the craftsmen present couldn't recover for a long time, and still agreed.
Xi motioned to the guards to help him, and they all realized and stood up one by one, but they were still distracted from their work.
Yunxi realized that some practices of later generations could not be applied to the present. Although he did not come to the work site to boost morale this time, he also realized that in the future he could not just go to the grassroots level to carry out so-called "morale boosting" behavior, because that would
It greatly affects work efficiency. This can be done for officials.
Yunxi didn't wait for everyone to get up before speaking, and asked directly: "Mr. Li, have all the preparations here been done?"
Li Ren replied: "Your Highness, enough food for three days of distribution has been shipped, the personnel have been prepared, and we have communicated with Yingtian Mansion once. Mr. Yin Wang of Yingtian Mansion is also very cooperative; various tools
Everything has been prepared. When His Highness came in just now, you can see that the gate has been renovated. I have discussed it repeatedly with the officials present, and there should be no problem."
Yunxi didn't hear anything wrong. He inspected the venue again and was about to leave when the treasure bank clerk saw him and bowed to him.
When Yunxi saw the officials at the treasure bank collection department, he remembered something: "Ambassador Zhang, what are you going to do with the recovered banknotes?"
Zhang Tiju replied: "Your Highness, these treasure banknotes are destroyed as usual."
Yunxi asked curiously: "Why? Why don't you keep it and distribute it again?"
Zhang Tiju said: "It is easy to hide treasure banknotes. Your Majesty is afraid that the officials of the treasure banknote collection department will steal the treasure banknotes and spend them (actually, this includes officials), so he ordered the treasure banknotes collection department not to store the treasure banknotes. The treasure coins printed that day will
The banknotes must be delivered to each yamen or the Baochao Guanghui Treasury on the same day; the Baochao Guanghui Treasury cannot store a large amount of treasure banknotes, and the excess will be destroyed."
Yunxi understood that this was a decision made by Lao Zhu when there was no way to effectively supervise it. It can be said that it is suitable for the present.
He had nothing more to ask, so he waved his hand to ask Zhang Tiju to go about his business, and then drove his horse to Jinyiwei.
On September 20th, Yunxi had approached the commander of the Jinyiwei through Lao Zhu and asked Commander Guo to help spread various rumors that could increase people's confidence in Baobao. Although Yunxi felt that someone who could be the commander of the Jinyiwei should not
As for such a small matter, he couldn't handle it well, but he still felt that it would be better to communicate again.
The group of people rode horses and ran for a while, leaving Taipingmen, the north gate of the outer city of the capital. The Beimen Bridge mentioned before is near the north gate of the inner city (Nanjing City before Zhu Yuanzhang expanded it), which is still far from the outside of the city.
Far away, and the imperial prison of Jinyiwei is outside the city, adjacent to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. Although the Fusi of Jinyiwei Town is in the south of the imperial city, close to the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, Commander Guo has been at the imperial prison in the past two days, so he is allowed to leave the city.
Go find him.
When they arrived at the imperial prison, one of the school captains who was guarding the gate ran in to report. The other school captains and warriors knelt down and saluted. Yunxi dismounted and asked, "Is Commander Guo here?"
The leading captain replied: "Your Highness, Commander Guo is interrogating prisoners in prison."
Yun He was puzzled. Isn't Jin Yiwei's current case the "Concubine Lu Poisoning Case"? Although he did not inquire in detail, the details were all revealed, and there were only a few people left to be arrested. What else could be interrogated?
He walked into the yamen, and before he reached the second gate, Commander Guo and subordinate officials had already come out to welcome him. After Yunxi returned the gift, Guo Hongtao invited him to go inside and have a rest and a cup of tea.
Yunxi took a sip of tea in the living room and said with a smile: "Commander Guo, this is Anxi Tieguanyin. It tastes different from the Wuyi rock tea in the palace. Your Majesty likes to drink Wuyi rock tea, but Gu prefers Tieguanyin. Guo
The commander seems to have similar tastes to Gu."
Guo Hongtao said: "How dare I compare myself with Your Highness? Wuyi rock tea is fragrant, while Anxi Tieguanyin is mellow, and each has its own merits. If Your Highness likes it, I have more than a dozen taels of Anxi Tieguanyin here, so I can give it to Your Highness to taste."
Yunxi just wanted to take tea as part of the greeting, not to ask for his tea. But he did like to drink Anxi Tieguanyin. Yunxi struggled for a while, but still felt that it was not good to accept things from the minister privately, so he said: "No need.
Now, I don't want to take away what others like, Commander Guo will keep it for himself." Seeing his firm tone, Guo Hongtao gave up.
After a few more pleasantries, Yun He asked: "On the 20th, I once said that Jin Yiwei helped spread some rumors about Baoqian. How is Jin Yiwei doing now?"
Guo Hongtao said: "Reporting to Your Highness, people have made arrangements and have started to spread rumors. They are all selected from the Jinyi Guards in other places or the local undercover, and they are guaranteed not to be discovered."
Now that he said this, Yunxi could only believe that if the final exchange plan failed to stop the decline of the treasure banknotes, he would definitely hold him accountable. At this time, Yunxi asked another question: "Commander Guo,
I heard that you are still interrogating prisoners, what else is there to interrogate?"
Guo Hongtao didn't understand why he jumped to this question, but he still replied: "Reporting to Your Highness, because the relatives of Yuan Wenyuange Tan Shanggong and Yuan Wenyuange Chen Shanggong have not yet been arrested, I am interrogating those who have been caught whether they know about them.
There are other hiding places; the city gate has been strictly inspected in the past two days, and all women who want to leave the city have their faces checked, so they must still be in the city."
Tan Shanggong! When Yunxi heard this name, it suddenly brought back distant memories: Although Tan Shanggong is only eighteen years old this year, he took care of him for four years when he was eight to twelve years old, until he moved to Dongnuang Pavilion.
.
Yunxi could not bear any hatred towards Tan Shang Gong. He remembered that Tan Shang Gong was a person who could analyze the pros and cons very accurately. This matter was very dangerous regardless of success or failure, so she definitely did not voluntarily participate in the operation to poison him;
In addition, she had taken care of him and took good care of him, so Yunxi actually didn't want her to be caught and executed.
But he couldn't get involved in this matter, so he could only silently pray for Tan Shanggong in his heart: He must not be caught.
Yunxi stayed in Jinyiwei's territory for a while, and instead of meeting those who participated in poisoning him, he turned around and left the prison.
After walking out of the prison, he was blown by the oncoming strong wind, and the remaining emotion quickly disappeared. He mounted his horse and ran back to the palace in high spirits. Lao Zhu had previously told him to go back as soon as he finished his work, and Lao Zhu also wanted to teach him.
