In November of the 19th year of Yongxing, a major event occurred in Ningmen Mansion that shocked the entire Xia Dynasty - the Jiang family discovered a gold mine at Ningmen Pass.
As soon as the news came out, the entire Daxia officials were excited.
Yan Mansion, main courtyard.
"Father, what are you saying, the Jiang family found a gold mine? Is it true or false?"
Daohua looked at Yan Zhigao with wide eyes, a look of disbelief on her face.
Didn¡¯t she find the gold mine?
Even if the emperor is stingy and reluctant to award her a reward, the credit should still fall on Xiao Yeyang. If not, it should be Mr. Wu. How come he has become the Jiang family now?
??The emperor is so indifferent to public and private affairs, openly placing the credit of others on his own uncle's family?
Yan Zhigao glanced at the excited eldest daughter, raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you look like? How many times have I told you that you should be calm when things happen. You are so frizzy, how can you look like a lady?"
Daohua sat back upright again, but her brows were twisted into knots and her face was stern.
Because of Master Wu, Master Wu and others, and also because of Xiao Yeyang, she thought that her credit for finding the gold mine was certain and that no one could take it away from her. But she didn't expect that it was so overwhelming now. How could she not be excited? ?
"Father, is this news reliable? Who did you hear it from?"
Yan Zhigao glanced at the eldest daughter with gloomy eyebrows. He knew that the eldest daughter, Wen Kai and Wen Tao had also looked for gold mines before, but now she was probably feeling a little unbalanced.
"The emperor personally praised Prince Chiang in the court hall. How can this be false? The gold mine is at Ningmen Pass, and it is now under military control."
"Actually, it's good that the gold mine was found by the Chiang family. After all, the interests involved in the gold mine are too great, and most people really can't bear the credit."
?? If nothing else, it¡¯s a bit unusual for Prince Duan¡¯s people to appear in the Ningmen Mansion.
"Royal matters have always been complicated. Officials like them who have no foundation should be less involved.
Mrs. Li sat aside and saw that the tea in Yan Zhigao's tea cup had reached the bottom. She gave him another cup, and then said with a slight worry: "There have always been places that produced gold, silver, and copper mines, and they were all mined by the emperor." His confidants are managing it. Now that a gold mine has appeared in the territory managed by me, can I ask him to be transferred to another place?"
Yan Zhigao also fell silent: "It depends on the emperor's intention. However, I think that Ningmenguan has always been an important military area. Even if the emperor wants to send someone over, he should just take over there and do nothing to Ningmen Pass." There will be no impact on other parts of the government, and I will most likely continue to serve here."
Mrs. Li looked slightly relaxed: "I hope so."
¡°It¡¯s hard for their family to gain a foothold in Ningmen Mansion, and it¡¯s hard for me to straighten out the political affairs. If they are transferred, my hard work from dawn to dusk this year will be in vain.
¡°Moreover, moving is also a hassle.
Daohua didn't listen to the discussion between Yan Zhigao and Mrs. Li. She sat aside with her head down, thinking that her position as county leader was ruined.
?¡
The capital, the imperial palace.
Eunuch An respectfully sent the Queen Mother away, and when he returned to the main hall, he saw the Emperor with an angry look on his face, wearing a quilt, walking aside cautiously, not daring to make the slightest sound.
"Snapped!"
The emperor threw the brush in his hand to the ground with a sullen face, the coldness in his eyes getting stronger and stronger.
Eunuch An¡¯s head dropped lower. The Empress Dowager personally came to the Emperor to ask for a reward for the Jiang family¡¯s discovery of the gold mine. How could the Emperor not be angry?
You must know that the news about the gold mine was revealed to the Jiang family by the emperor, and at the beginning, the Jiang family wanted to monopolize the gold mine.
At this moment, Wei Qi walked in, saw the brush on the ground, his eyes moved, and he knelt down quickly and said: "Your Majesty, the young prince has sent a secret guard back, saying that he has a secret message that he wants to hand over in person."
The emperor suppressed the anger in his heart: "Pass it in."
Soon, the dusty secret guard walked in. It was clear from a glance that he had not rested for several days. After kneeling down and worshiping, he carefully took out the letter from his arms.
Eunuch An stepped forward to take the letter, checked it over, and made sure there was nothing unusual before handing it over to the emperor.
The emperor took the letter with some confusion: "We just exchanged letters not long ago, what is Yang'er doing writing a letter at this time?"
After opening the letter and reading it for a while, the emperor suddenly stood up. He, who had always been steady, could not hide his excitement at this moment. He read the letter several times and then laughed heartily.
Eunuch An and Wei Qi looked at each other.?I was a little surprised in my heart, the emperor had not been so happy for a long time.
The emperor looked at the gold mine map again and walked back and forth in the palace for a while. After calming down, he waved his hand and signaled everyone in the palace to leave, leaving only Eunuch An and Wei Qi.
After the others left, the emperor sat back on the throne: "Yang'er wrote a letter saying that they found another gold mine."
As soon as these words came out, Mr. An and Wei Qi's eyes widened at the same time, and they were stunned for a long time before congratulating them in unison.
The emperor tapped his fingers on the table: "Currently only Yang'er and the three brothers and sisters of the Yan family know about this gold mine. Wei Qi, please pack it up and set off to Zhongzhou today. You will be responsible for the mining of that gold mine yourself." As he said, His eyes narrowed, "Remember, don't let the news leak out."
The gold mine that was found earlier was publicized by the Chiang family. Now everyone knows everything that should be known and what should not be known. Now all the officials in the court are watching, and not much can be misappropriated.
Now in this place, he wants to put it in a dark place and can do a lot of things in private.
Wei Qi solemnly said: "I accept my order from my humble position."
The emperor read the letter again and suddenly became silent.
"The two gold mines were found by girls from the Yan family. Coupled with the relationship with their mother and uncle, it was really difficult not to reward them, but the time to reward them at this moment was not very suitable.
After thinking for a while, the emperor looked at Eunuch An and said, "Did Dong Jiancheng, the chief envoy of Zhongzhou, make a statement not long ago and talk about the tax revenue and political achievements of various governments in Zhongzhou?"
Eunuch An smiled and nodded: "Yes, it highlighted the political achievements of Mr. Yan, the prefect of Ningmen Prefecture, saying that his achievements in governing Ningmen Prefecture were remarkable."
The emperor smiled and said: "Yan Zhigao is a good man. He has promoted high-yielding wheat varieties to other provinces, and the tax revenue in various places has increased. He is a capable minister."
If you can¡¯t reward the small ones, then reward the big ones.
In the morning of the next day, some officials praised the Jiang family's achievements in finding gold mines. The emperor slipped Yan Zhigaoti out and praised him profusely.
Seeing this, the officials who had originally thought about being transferred to Ningmen Prefecture gave up their thoughts.
The emperor praised Yan Zhigao at this time and made it clear that he wanted Yan Zhigao to continue to serve as the prefect of Ningmen Prefecture.
That afternoon, the two imperial edicts left Beijing at the same time and went straight to Ningmen Mansion.
?¡
A few days later, Ningmen Mansion, Yan family.
Everyone in the Yan family knelt down in the hall and listened respectfully to the eunuch's reading of the imperial edict.
"Emperor Fengtian Chengyun made the following statement: During the political period, Yan Zhigao, the prefect of Ningmen Prefecture, attached great importance to ethics, taught loyalty and encouraged talents, and respected him with great enthusiasm. His mother, Zhang, preached and lectured day and night, never forgetting her diligence in raising children, and gathering Qingze is in the family; his wife, Li, is Shushen in his manners and Roujiaweizi. Hereby, Qin En is appointed as the fourth-grade "honest person""
Daohua knelt on the ground and didn't understand the complicated rhetoric in the middle, but she understood the last two sentences.
Grandmother and mother were given the title of Madam.
After reciting the imperial edict, the eunuch looked at Yan Zhigao with a smile: "Master Yan, please accept the edict."
Yan Zhi raised his hands high with a respectful look on his face: "My lord, I accept the order and thank you for your kindness. Long live my emperor."
Seeing that it was over like this, Daohua was indescribably disappointed.
Her county boss is really gone!
Daohua stood up with the others, and saw her grandmother and mother touching their royal robes with joyful faces. The disappointment in her heart faded a little. That¡¯s all, the emperor hadn¡¯t succeeded yet. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
