Just when Li Jinzhong rushed to Nanjing triumphantly, Xu Hongji hosted a banquet at home for a large number of nobles. After all, he was recommended by many nobles to go to Lu Qingping. Now that he had sent the memorial out first, naturally he could not These nobles were thrown away, otherwise the Xu family would not be able to stay in Nanjing!
????????????? There are actually not many honorable families in Nanjing. When Lao Zhu won the world, he would naturally give a lot of rewards to his subordinates. However, Lao Zhu was born in poverty, and he was quite petty when it came to rewards!
There were so many meritorious officials in the Ming Dynasty, but Lao Zhu only granted 150 titles, among which there were 25 dukes, headed by Xu Da and Chang Yuchun!
Among the marquises, there are seventy-nine, including Tang Shengzong and Lu Zhongheng!
There are twelve counts among the earls, headed by Wang Guangyang and Liu Bowen!
There are eleven viscounts including Wang Qing and Wang Fengxian!
There are twenty-three barons including Wang Kai and Sun Yan!
Of these 150 people, less than half were killed in the two major cases of Hu Weiyong and Lan Yu. In addition, some of Zhu Laosi Jingnan was later dealt with. In the end, only 60 nobles were left in Nanjing. There are many families!
??????????????????????????????????????????? However, after these more than 60 nobles experienced many hardships, spring finally ushered in. Zhu Laosi took the nobles Jingnan to Beijing, and the land of Jinling was left to them!
In the next two hundred years, the nobles of Nanjing lived a very comfortable life. After all, the sky was high in Nanjing and the emperor was far away, and there was no place like the Metropolitan Procuratorate that specialized in finding faults with the powerful. As long as they did not go too far, they would basically be fine. No one cares about them!
So in the past two hundred years, the nobles of Nanjing not only accumulated a huge amount of gold and silver, but also occupied a large amount of land!
Originally, when the little emperor took care of his relatives, the nobles in Nanjing were happy to watch the fun, but he didn't expect that the little emperor was still not satisfied after taking care of the uncles and uncles, and actually sent people to Nanjing!
Now the nobles in Nanjing are in despair, so they asked Xu Hongji to go to Lu Qingping to find out how many benefits the little emperor really wanted!
Xu Hongji told these nobles what Lu Qingping had said, picking up the ones that did not involve him. Finally, with a solemn expression, he raised his fists to the sky and said: "My Xu family has been favored by the emperor. Now the country is suffering from internal and external troubles. Xu has no way to stabilize the country." As a strategy, I have no ability to ride a horse on the battlefield, so I can only offer all my property, fields, and shops to His Majesty, hoping to contribute to the rejuvenation of the country!"
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????The Honorable Lords Seeing Xu Hongji as a Madman, He Handed Over All the Family Property, Wouldn't That Force the Whole Family to Hang Himself?
The nobles did not have the courage and courage, so they had to say a few perfunctory words and hurriedly left the Duke of Wei's mansion!
Of course, when these distinguished nobles left the Duke of Wei's mansion, they did not go back to their respective homes, but gathered together again to discuss what should be done!
"It's just that although these nobles were worried that the little emperor would deal with them and ask them to give out too many things to please the little emperor, they felt unwilling to do so. After discussing for a long time, they couldn't come up with an idea!
Just when the Nanjing nobles were uneasy and worrying about gains and losses, Li Jinzhong and Cao Ling had already arrived in Nanjing!
Because neither Li Jinzhong nor Cao Ling were ordered to inspect Nanjing, and they were close ministers of the emperor, it was really inconvenient for Nanjing officials and nobles to come out to greet him, so only Lu Qingping came out of the city to greet him!
Cao Ling had no idea about this, and although Li Jinzhong had some ideas, he didn't dare to show it, so under the guidance of Lu Qingping, the two paid homage to Taizu's imperial mausoleum and then separated!
Cao Ling naturally led two thousand Guards cavalry to camp outside Nanjing, while Li Jinzhong entered Nanjing with Wang Shitou's convoy!
After entering Nanjing, Wang Shitou took the convoy to rest at a place arranged by Lu Qingping, while Li Jinzhong and Lu Qingping went to the Wei Guogong Mansion to deliver the decree!
When heading to the Duke of Wei's mansion, Lu Qingping knelt in Li Jinzhong's carriage, holding the box of pearls he had just received from Duke Wei!
"Eunuch Li, I am in Nanjing and cannot serve in front of my ancestors and Eunuch Li all the time. Please don't dislike this small respect, Eunuch Li!" Although Li Jinzhong is younger than Lu Qingping in terms of age and official position, Lu Qingping respects Li Jinzhong. His attitude is like that of a junior subordinate!
Li Jinzhong didn¡¯t have any panic about this, because he knew very well that in the eunuch profession, age and official position were nothing, what really mattered was the relationship with the emperor!
Take Li Jinzhong as an example. Although he was said to be the second-in-command among the eunuchs in the Forbidden City, he was still very polite to the young eunuchs around Zhu Youxiao. It was because those young eunuchs were with the young emperor every day. People can do it with just one sentence??You have laid the foundation for your own death!
Lu Qingping, as the eunuch guarding Nanjing, naturally had this reason for treating Li Jinzhong this way, and it was even more realistic than this reason.
Everyone knows that Old Wang An is old, and he only serves the young emperor in daily life. Now he is Li Jinzhong, the Supervisor of Ceremonies and the actual controller of the East Factory. When Old Wang An retires, Li Jinzhong will be the well-deserved third eunuch. one person!
So Lu Qingping didn¡¯t mind groveling in front of Li Jinzhong, let alone offering pearls worth two hundred thousand taels of silver!
However, Li Jinzhong¡¯s expression did not change because of Lu Qingping¡¯s attitude and gifts. On the contrary, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes!
"Eunuch Lu, you are really good at borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha. This bead came to you from Duke Wei, and you sent it to our family without even changing the box. Our family would not dare to accept it, otherwise Eunuch Lu In this scorching Nanjing, our family can¡¯t bear the heat without these beaded cushions!¡± Li Jinzhong¡¯s words were so yin and yang that Lu Qingping was completely frightened!
Lu Qingping, as the eunuch guarding Nanjing, naturally knew that although Dongchang's power was not as prominent as before, his methods were more secretive and vicious than before. However, he did not expect that Dongchang would monitor him so closely, to the point of being watertight!
Now Lu Qingping was really scared. Although he did a good job in Nanjing with his superficial words, he could not hide the fact that he had collected seven to eight hundred thousand taels of silver. He used to think that what he did was secretive, but now he thinks it is something. The factory knows everything!
Li Jinzhong looked at Lu Qingping shivering and guessed what he was thinking, so he added fuel to the fire: "Eunuch Lu is also a good man. He made more than 700,000 taels of silver in less than two years. This wealthy man in Nanjing It can be seen from this that unlike our family in Beijing, where we serve His Majesty cautiously, although we look at the scenery, the benefits are not as great as yours, Eunuch Lu!"
"Eunuch Li!" Lu Qingping was so frightened that he shook his head and said tremblingly: "I have absolutely no intention of looking down on my father-in-law. Please don't misunderstand me. I am willing to dedicate all my family property to your father-in-law. From now on, I am also willing to serve your father-in-law." , please accept it, father-in-law."
"Alas!" Li Jinzhong pretended to sigh and said: "Our family loves money, but we know what silver should be taken and what silver should not be taken. Your silver is hot to the touch. If you take it, I'm afraid we won't be able to save our heads. Got it!"
"Ah!" Lu Qingping was so frightened by Li Jinzhong's words that he exclaimed, because he heard a fatal message from Li Jinzhong's words, that is, what he did, the little emperor in Beijing knew!
"Eunuch Li! Eunuch Li! I was blinded by lard for a while and did something wrong. Please give Eunuch Li an idea to save my life. From now on, I will be your dog. I will live and die for Eunuch Li. Drive!" Lu Qingping banged his head, just to survive!
