Liu Haojia smiled and said, "That's because I'm here and he doesn't dare to say anything! Now that I'm gone, he will definitely point fingers and slowly install some people in the navy."
Father Liu said, "Then how to deal with it?"
Liu Haojia said: "Just follow the military rules! If you break the rules, you will be beaten and killed. Don't be polite at all!"
Father Liu nodded to show that he understood. Then Father Liu asked a lot of detailed questions, and Liu Haojia also explained them one by one, even if he had explained everything that needed to be explained. Then the rest of the time is naturally spent chatting!
In particular, Mother Liu is more concerned about when her son will get married? The most outrageous thing is that she already knew that Liu Haojia had a side wife, Tan Cuiying, and wanted her to come back one day to show her. As for Liu Haonian, she also followed suit. The whole family was enjoying themselves!
Sure enough, Zhang Jia personally rushed to Gu Ningbo's house the next day, took away Liu Haojia's seal, and sent a new seal to Liu Runlin. After Liu Runlin kowtowed, he took office! After all, he is an official in the inner court and does not need so many procedures.
But another decree caused a small commotion in the cabinet, and that was the decree to promote Liu Haojia from Wu Ningbo to Wu Ninghou!
Civil servants have never had a good impression of the nobles. They always think that the nobles are just a bunch of pigs who will only harm the country's food and salary! They wish they could push all the nobles down in the ditch and choke to death! Therefore, in the past, if any military attache wanted to enter a title or a nobleman wanted to be promoted to a title, they would make things difficult for them in every possible way and would not let them get it easily. The merits must be so solid that they could not be more solid!
But this time when they were about to take the medicine according to the prescription, they found that Zhang Juzheng was uncharacteristically supportive of Liu Haojia! This surprises everyone else!
But Zhang Siwei felt that he had seized the opportunity to hack Zhang Juzheng! So while he was secretly happy in his heart, he asked Zhang Juzheng righteously but tactfully why he supported Liu Hao's family?
Zhang Juzheng just said lightly: "After Wu Ningbo returned to the capital, he talked with His Majesty for a long time, and then he voluntarily resigned from the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, and also handed over one million taels of silver to the inner treasury for His Majesty's use. Wedding!"
Although Zhang Siwei and others think this is a pretty good reason, they still feel that this is not enough for Zhang Juzheng to support him! However, under Zhang Juzheng's prestige, they did not dare to inquire too deeply, so they had no choice but to hold their noses and sign the imperial edict!
In fact, just as Zhang Siwei guessed, although these two points are a plus, they are not enough for Zhang Juzheng to support. Only Zhang Juzheng knows the real reason.
Just last night, Zhang Jia met with Feng Bao and handed over a gift that Liu Haojia brought back from Tianjin. After the two chatted for a long time, Zhang Jiacai left, leaving a list behind. When Feng Bao saw this list, he naturally understood what Emperor Wanli meant and figured out the reasons behind it.
Censor Feng Bao left the police and sent a letter to Zhang Juzheng. The content of the letter was this list. It was a list of distinguished people who had shops in Tianjin! This list covers almost all the nobles in the north and most of the nobles in the south!
Zhang Juzheng immediately understood that the weight of this list was too heavy! It was so heavy that he couldn't bear it!
The reason is very simple. During the debate between Ding You and Duo Qing, the nobles did not say anything according to past practice, and the civil servants did not feel unusual! After all, what rights do a group of pigs have to say about matters in the court, and what can they say?
But Zhang Juzheng knows one thing deeply. Honorable nobles will not speak if they don't speak, but they have the right and ability to speak!
Now that the court is in charge, he and his people have begun to gain the upper hand. If the honorable noble suddenly comes out, the situation will probably fall into a stalemate again! At that time, it will be really difficult to judge the direction of things! And there is no doubt that these nobles who have shops in Tianjin are definitely Liu Haojia’s help!
If the cabinet blocks Liu Haojia's promotion to Marquis, and he is the chief assistant, the responsibility will definitely fall on him! So there is no need for Liu Haojia to call, as long as he makes a hint, a large number of noble memorials will appear in the court, and then...! This is the reason why he really supports Liu Haojia!

So this decree was quickly passed, and then the news spread to Gu Ningbo's mansion, where the house was naturally full of joy.
There was a lot of excitement, and at the same time it made a small joke! That is, Wu Ninghou's father's title was actually lower than that of his son! So Father Liu was teased for a long time when he hosted a banquet to entertain his colleagues!
Liu Haojia then returned to Tianjin under the brand-new banner of Marquis. When he came back, he was naturally congratulated from all sides! And most of the people who came to congratulate me this time were businessmen!
And in the eyes of these businessmen, the higher Liu Haojia's position, the better, so that he can protect Tianjin and continue to make a fortune for them! So the gifts they gave Liu Haojia were much more solid! In addition to some elegant and simple objects, there is a whole box of gold, silver and jade!
As for the two daughters Zhang Peijia and Tan Cuiying, they are both sad and happy! Needless to say, I am happy. As long as the year after tomorrow, one will be the Marquise and the other will be the Marquis's side chamber, and the scenery will naturally be unlimited!
As for the pain, they had to move out of Liu Haojia's mansion and temporarily move back to the Zhang family's house. Because everyone knows that Miss Zhang is Liu Haojia’s unmarried wife, so she can’t curry favor with the Marquis, but she can curry favor with his daughter through Zhang Shunping!
Although Zhang Shunping bears the title of the father-in-law of an earl, he is still a businessman in essence. He has to sell face to many people, so Zhang Peijia and his wife have to receive countless ladies! What made the two of them especially angry was that someone was openly promoting their own daughter or niece, hoping that they would nod to enter the Marquis's back house! This really made the two of them dumbfounded!
Time passed like this day by day, and soon, the battle in the capital came to an end, and Zhang Juzheng won a great victory!
Now that he has won a great victory, returning to his hometown to worship his father must be put on the agenda as soon as possible, otherwise he will be criticized again. So the date was set quickly and the time was tight!
The reason for making this public is to understand that Zhang Juzheng must return to his hometown as soon as possible. The real intention is that I, Zhang Juzheng, will give you a chance to surrender. During the time when I am returning to my hometown to visit my relatives, I will kneel wherever I should!
Naturally, the officials fully understood this intention, so on the day Zhang Juzheng left Jingshi, Emperor Wanli personally saw him off in the palace, and Empress Dowager Li, Feng Bao and others also sent gifts! As for the officials, they were sent directly to the suburbs!
