Because he did not expect it and the summons was urgent, Zheng Sen did not make any preparations before the interview at first. However, the chamberlain who led him into the palace also explained what he should pay attention to when interviewing the saint.
"Zheng Sen, a grassroots man from southern Fujian, bows to my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"
When Zheng Sen saw Emperor Chongzhen on the cloud platform, before he could see clearly, he knelt down and shouted loudly.
Emperor Chongzhen was sizing him up as soon as he saw him, because he knew that the young man in front of him was one of the two most famous people who fought against the Jianlu after his death. It was also because he regained the high officials that he would be remembered in later generations.
The evaluation is higher than him.
But at this moment, when he looked at Zheng Sen, he really couldn't see that this boy would have such high achievements in the future.
After Zheng Sen finished the ceremony, Emperor Chongzhen said kindly: "Ping Shen!"
After hearing this, Zheng Sen immediately stood up, lowered his hands, lowered his head, and maintained the details of the facial expression as instructed by the chamberlain.
Emperor Chongzhen could see that Zheng Sen's hands were shaking slightly. It was obvious that he was too excited about meeting the saint for the first time.
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "Do you know why I have to rush you eight hundred miles to summon you to Beijing?"
The answer to this question was what Zheng Sen had been wanting to know since the moment he received the order. When he heard this, he immediately forgot the instructions of the chamberlain. He raised his head, looked at Emperor Chongzhen, and replied with curiosity.
: "Why?"
It was only then that he saw clearly that the current emperor seemed to be older than he thought!
Emperor Chongzhen looked at him and said with a smile: "Because Emperor Taizu gave you a treasure reminder, you will be one of my loyal ministers and good generals. Therefore, I naturally have to summon you all to my side as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Sen immediately became excited.
Emperor Taizu reminded the current emperor that he is a loyal minister and good general? This is what Emperor Taizu recognized!
When he thought of this, he was really overjoyed! What could be more affirmative of himself than Emperor Taizu's positive comments about him?
Those who look down on themselves, those who think they are playboys, those who think they are just rich, those who worry that they will have no future, come and listen, this is what Emperor Taizu said!
At this moment, Zheng Sen suddenly didn't know what to say?
I even don’t know how to place my hands!
In short, he was very excited.
In the end, all Zheng Sen could think of was to kneel down and shout again: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but laugh again when he saw him like this.
In Zheng Sen, he couldn't feel the characteristics of those old fried dough sticks, he just felt immature! Compared with those old fried dough sticks, he really wanted to deal with such people.
"Get straight!" Emperor Chongzhen ordered again.
After Zheng Sen heard this, he stood up again.
After he stood up, Emperor Chongzhen said to him: "I want to see your talent first. If you do well, I can reuse you in the future!"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Sen quickly raised his head and said excitedly to Emperor Chongzhen: "Please give me your Majesty's instructions. As long as ordinary people can do it, they will do it well!"
Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, it's good to have this ambition. I will temporarily appoint you as the general banner of the Jinyiwei, lead a team of Jinyiwei south to Yangzhou, and take charge of the more than 20 million taels of silver there.
With the cooperation of the government, I will purchase supplies for the imperial court and transport them to the capital. I will explain the specific details to you later, are you willing?"
When Zheng Sen heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Although compared to other people who rushed eight hundred miles, the reward he received was not high. However, the Jinyiwei was the emperor's personal army and the emperor's most trusted one, and his Jinyiwei general banner was not the kind of person who only received a salary in vain.
, but there really will be a team of uniformed guards who will obey his orders.
The most important thing is that the emperor said that he was in charge of the purchase of more than 20 million taels of silver. This amount was so large that even he, a son of a wealthy family, was very surprised.
How much trust does the emperor have to put so much money in his hands?
And the emperor also said that this is just a trial to see if he can do the job well!
If you handle this matter well, you will definitely be no worse than others when the reward comes!
Thinking this, he nodded quickly and said: "Yes, yes, I am willing!"
At this point, Zheng Sen came to his senses. This was not in line with the etiquette of meeting the emperor. He quickly knelt down and said: "The common people... the humble minister... the general is willing!"
Seeing this scene, Emperor Chongzhen smiled happily.
Perhaps Emperor Chongzhen was always kind and cheerful, which made Zheng Sen feel friendly. Feeling that he was a little incoherent, he also giggled.
Emperor Chongzhen signaled Zheng Sen to stand up again, and then said to him with a smile: "Your matter this time is very important. I can tell you that there will be a war in the north soon. Whether you can stabilize the situation depends on your ability
We cannot purchase supplies and food from the south and send them to the capital in time. Do you understand?"
"I understand, I understand!" After Zheng Sen stood up, he nodded again and replied.
After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen explained again: "Although you are young, you were named by Emperor Taizu after all. Therefore, I believe you can do a good job. I hope that through this matter, you can prove your talents to everyone, no matter what
By whatever means you can use, you can accomplish the task I entrusted you with, and then I will reuse you again in the future, and others will have nothing to say!"
"Definitely, definitely!" Zheng Sen seemed to have become a yes man and could only reply simply.
Emperor Chongzhen saw it, looked up at the sky, and said with a smile: "It's getting late today, so I won't go into details. Someone will tell you the specific details later. I guarantee that you have the right to secretly report, if you encounter
If you have any problems, you can report them directly to me!"
For Zheng Sen, the power of secret reporting was a legendary power that even many high-ranking officials might not have. He didn't expect that he could have it, so he nodded again and again.
In such excitement, he didn't even know how he arrived at the inn.
"Young Master, what did the Emperor say? Young Master, Young Master..."
The steward called out many times before Zheng Sen came back to his senses. But to be precise, when he came back to his senses, he was still giggling and did not answer the steward's questions.
When the steward saw him like this, he knew something was definitely up to him. Although he was very curious, he kept his temper and waited for his son to calm down before talking.
After a while, Zheng Sen finally returned to normal, and then said to the steward: "Quickly, tell your family about me, let my father, my mother, and those uncles see that I am not a playboy!"
When the steward heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Master, you haven't talked about the affairs in the palace yet!"
When Zheng Sen heard this, he asked in surprise: "Didn't I say anything? Okay, listen..."
As he spoke, he recounted what Emperor Chongzhen had said to him, leaving the steward dumbfounded.
After coming back to his senses, he immediately suggested: "Sir, you'd better write a letter in your own hand to announce the good news to your family!"
After a pause, he thought for a moment and then added: "The errand you want to do must be done beautifully and make the emperor happy. It is best to ask the master to send someone over, and it is best to use some necessary connections.
.”
On the south side of the Yangtze River, there are many people who go to the sea. And those who want to go to the sea must not go around the Zheng family. In this way, if the Zheng family allows them to do things, they will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
"No, I can do it myself!" Upon hearing this, Zheng Sen refused directly, "I'll let you all see if you underestimated me before!"
"..." The steward couldn't help but be speechless after hearing this.
After thinking for a while, he still reminded: "Master, what if things go wrong? Wouldn't that be a betrayal of the Holy Grace! Also, Master should also know what the officialdom is like nowadays. There are more than two million taels."
, I don’t know how many people are watching. Although I don’t know the specific regulations, but with such a big piece of fat, do you think it can be done with your age and experience? I think even the master would be trembling with fear."
Hearing this, Zheng Sen fell silent.
Although he was excited and wanted to show off his talents, the amount of money definitely shocked him, more than 20 million taels.
By the way, the emperor also told me that no matter what method he uses, he must get things done.
This means that even if you rely on help from your family, as long as you can get things done, it is your own ability!
Thinking like this, Zheng Sen finally nodded and said, "Okay, I'll tell you about this in the letter."
Seeing that the young master listened to the advice on this important matter, the steward was also very happy, so he quickly said: "The little man will arrange the manpower right now. When the young master writes the letter, he will send it back to southern Fujian as soon as possible!"
Early the next morning, the letter was sent home immediately. Zheng Sen, on the other hand, went to the Jinyiwei Yamen to report, and was warmly received by Li Ruolian, the commander of the Jinyiwei.
The Jin Yiwei under Zheng Sen were all personally selected by Li Ruolian. Not for the sake of the Zheng family. In fact, Li Ruolian didn't even know the specific situation of the Zheng family. This is because the Jin Yiwei basically only operates in the capital and rarely expands.
To all parts of the country.
Of course, this will no longer be the case in the future. Ever since he took office, things have been changing slowly, but it still takes time.
The reason why Zheng Sen was treated with such a high standard was because Emperor Chongzhen told him. For the more than 20 million taels of silver, no matter how high you value it, you can't pay too much attention.
The next day, Emperor Chongzhen finally discussed the specific regulations.
The Ministry of Household Affairs, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the West Factory, and the Jinyiwei sent people, together with the East Factory already in Yangzhou, to take charge of the procurement.
Before leaving, Emperor Chongzhen summoned Zheng Sen alone again and told him: "In the past few days, I have received many memorials from Jiangnan, all of them impeaching Wang Dehua of Dongchang for his misdeeds. Therefore, you must go there as soon as possible
Yangzhou, please spend this money as soon as possible, it’s done, and there will be many fewer memorials like this!”
