You see, there are so many people trying to besiege him. Even a big boss like Zhang Siwei did not get any benefits by going personally. Instead, he suffered a loss of troops and generals! So all the officials warned their families to stay away from Wu Ninghou! Fortunately, this product is now in Tianjin, so everyone can rest assured!
Secondly, it is said that Zhang Siwei did not go to check in after the morning court, but went directly back home! It is said that after returning home, he smashed a lot of things and beat many servants!
Of course, anyone with a discerning eye will know that this is definitely a rumor! How could such news spread out of the dignified Prime Minister's Mansion! People in the prime minister's house may have problems of one kind or another, but they must be very tight-lipped!
But most people in the world are blind, or they deliberately cannot see what they don’t want to see, and only believe what they want to believe! So the news quickly spread among the capital: Zhang's troops suffered heavy losses, and Zhang Cifu's family whipped his subordinates!
But ordinary people can't care about this much. Both Liu Haojia and Zhang Siwei are too far away for them. What they are most interested in is the news that the price of salt is about to drop!
Nowadays, in the capital, a pound of salt costs sixty or seventy cents. This price can only be maintained by the yamen's special supply. If it is true, as Wu Ninghou said, that the price of salt can be brought down to less than 40 cents, then it might only cost 30 cents in a place like the capital, or even lower!
In this way, the lives of ordinary people's families will be better, so ordinary people are eagerly looking forward to Liu Haojia quickly bringing down the price of salt. For a time, Liu Haojia's reputation is soaring among ordinary people in the capital!
At the same time, his brilliant achievements today have also created a huge name among the nobles! Over the years, there have always been losers and no winners in battles between nobles and civil servants! Today, Liu Haojia overthrew more than thirty officials in one breath, but it was a good relief for the nobles! So the nobles decided to hold a grand banquet at noon today to celebrate this glorious victory!
Correspondingly, Liu Haojia's reputation among civil servants is completely bad! In the past, the civil servants didn't care if he killed one or two people, because they had too much reserve force that could be replenished at any time! Think of it as an elimination!
But this time he sent more than 30 civil servants back to their hometown at once, and many officials were the backbone of the court. This was a headache! Moreover, these more than 30 people involved teachers, students, colleagues, and the relationship between them was the same year!
These people lost one of their own helpers, so naturally they hated Liu Haojia deeply! It was just that he was intimidated by Liu Haojia's fighting power and could only complain and curse a few words in private. But if there is a chance to move him down in the future, they will never give up this opportunity!
Among these people, there is another person who is even more distressed and grief-stricken! This man is Emperor Wanli!
After hearing the conversation between Liu Haojia and Zhang Juzheng, he naturally understood that an exchange of interests had been reached between the two people. And the victim in the middle is actually him, the majestic emperor! You handed over the salt farm, what will you do with the money you promised me?
So he almost went crazy with anger, but he didn't dare to lose his temper with Zhang Juzheng, so he could only attack the culprit! So Zhang Jia stopped Liu Hao's house right after the morning session!
I saw Zhang Jia saying with a bitter face: "My ancestors! Do you still think that Long Live Master is a three-year-old child? You handed over the salt farm very quickly. What about the silver that Long Live Master wants? Where does it come from?" Read the book
Liu Haojia chuckled and said, "What's the matter? Lord Long Live sent you to stop me?"
Zhang Jia nodded and said, "That's right! Lord Long Live is losing his temper behind you! Tell us to stop you from seeing him!"
Liu Haojia naturally had no reason to disappear, so he immediately nodded and said, "Okay, let's go see Long Live Lord!"
After saying that, he walked back, but was stopped by Zhang Jia and said, "Have you thought about what to say? If it doesn't work, just push it on Mr. Zhang, saying that this matter is too stressful, so let's fool him first." Mr. Zhang, just think of ways to find money for Mr. Long Live in the future!"
Hearing what Zhang Jia said, Liu Haojia was a little moved! It is already a great kindness to have someone in the court and palace who can think of a solution for him! Thinking of this, he patted Zhang Jia's arm and said, "Zhang Banban, don't worry, I, Mr. Liu, have always done things safely and will never miss the mission of Lord Long Live!"
Zhang Jia gave up the idea of persuading Liu Haojia after hearing this, and walked back with him discussing today's events. Along the way, Zhang Jia was full of praise for Liu Haojia's performance today and praised him for his knowledge of the law.
But Liu Haojia said with a wry smile: "Zhang Banban, it's not like you don't know, since when did our court pay attention to the law? What happened today was just an accidental phenomenon, a special case that cannot be replicated! Do you think those officials will do it next time? Will you still be fooled?"
Zhang Jia also sighed and said, "Of course I won't be fooled again! However, the power of the civil servants is so great that Long Live Master and our family can't breathe. You can at least feel relieved after killing a group of people!"
While the two were talking, they arrived at the imperial study. Liu Haojia suppressed his smile, straightened his clothes, and then opened the door and entered the room. As soon as he entered the house, he heard Emperor Wanli saying loudly: "Zhang Jia, is Liu Haojia, the guy who is a seller seeking glory, here?" "
When Liu Haojia heard this, he immediately knelt down in feigning panic and said, "Long live the injustice! Where do you start talking about this? I have never betrayed my master for glory!"
At this time, Emperor Wanli turned around and saw Liu Haojia kneeling there, and immediately said angrily: "You still said that you have no seller to seek glory? It would be generous of you to hand over the salt farm directly, but what about the money you promised me?"
Liu Haojia deliberately pretended to be stunned and said, "Long live my Lord, is it because of the money from the salt farm that you are so angry?"
Emperor Wanli was a little panicked when he heard this, but he still said stubbornly: "This, how is this possible! How could I do it for, for this little money! I saw you flirting with Mr. Zhang and asked, are you? Are you planning to join the civil service?"
Emperor Wanli's words were a bit weak at first, but later on he became more serious! It seems that it is true that he feels sorry for the money, and it is also true that he is worried that Liu Haojia will take this opportunity to join the civil service! You must know that he doesn't have many confidants in the entire court. The only people he really trusts are Liu Haojia and Zhang Jia!
When Liu Haojia heard this, he patted his chest in relief and said, "What are you worried about, Long Live Lord? It turns out to be this! Long Live Lord, don't you think about it, how many civil servants have been killed since I became an official? Even if I vote for the civil servants, they will Where can I accommodate my subordinates?"
