After about a meal, Gu Changhong rubbed his wrist and said, "Sir, I'm done here!"
Liu Haojia took the document extracted by Gu Changhong and slowly looked through it while counting in his mind. After he finished reading Gu Changhong's documents, Liu Xing also sent his own documents over.
After he read Liu Xing's paperwork, he snorted, threw the paperwork on the table and said, "As expected, it's really scary!"
Gu Changhong took a step forward and said, "Sir, what did you see? My subordinates didn't see anything!"
Liu Haojia turned his attention to Liu Xing, but Liu Xing also shook his head helplessly. So he snorted again and said, "If you don't see it, look carefully again! I'll give you a quarter of an hour!"
The two of them had no choice but to pick up the document they had written and read it again. After reading it, the two of them found nothing, so they exchanged documents and looked through them. Read the book
Just when the time was approaching and Liu Haojia's face became increasingly ugly, Liu Xing suddenly said loudly: "Second Young Master, do you want to say that the number of memorials in the Jiangnan region is much smaller than that in the Northern region?"
Liu Haojia's expression immediately softened upon hearing this. Upon seeing this, Gu Changhong hurriedly glanced at the documents and said with a frown: "This is a big deal!"
When Liu Haojia saw that Gu Changhong had understood, he asked Liu Xing: "Now that you have seen the specific situation, have you figured out the reason? Don't forget, Lao Gu has already given you a hint!"
Liu Xing looked at Gu Changhong blankly, then at the document in his hand. After thinking carefully for a long time, he could only shake his head helplessly! Liu Haojia saw this and said irritably: "Lao Gu, explain it to him!"
Hearing this, Gu Changhong said proudly: "Boy, you are younger and your mind is more flexible than mine, but you are not experienced enough! Look at the difference in the number of memorials between the south and the north, which is about twice the number, but don't I forgot, the population of the Ming Dynasty is mainly concentrated in the south, and most of the officials are from the south! Do you want to understand now? "
After hearing this, Liu Xing still thought blankly for a long time and said: "The south is more peaceful and everyone is more disciplined, so there are less preparations!"
Gu Changhong laughed loudly when he heard this, and Liu Haojia also laughed and shook his head in anger! After laughing, Gu Changhong said: "You are still young and you still can't see through some things! Brother, let me tell you, this can only mean one thing. The royal guards in the south have been controlled by the local gentry and are not in our hands at all. !」
Liu Xing was shocked when he heard this and said hurriedly: "Is this impossible? The Jinyiwei are the emperor's personal soldiers and the yamen of the imperial court. What ability do those gentry have to control them?"
Liu Haojia snorted and said: "What skills do they have? They are so capable! Most of the Jinyi guards everywhere are hereditary. They have been stationed in the local area for several generations and have long been familiar with the local gentry! Those gentry only need to use the simplest methods The only way to do this is to bribe them with money! If you are willing to pay the price, the marriage will have the best effect! After two generations, they will be a family! So they just followed the instructions and made a few preparations for impeachment. Pretending! If you don’t believe it, go back and look through the notebook, it must be filled with insignificant and trivial things!”
Gu Changhong also explained to him: "The most scholars in the world are from Jiangnan! If it hadn't been for the great ancestor who divided the northern and southern rankings, I'm afraid the temples now would be all southerners! Think about it now, the people in the cabinet Among the elders, only Zhang Siwei is from the north, and the others are all from the south! With the support of these elders, what can’t those southern gentry do?"
Liu Xing was simply shocked when he heard this! He is still young and has not been exposed to anything too profound. At first glance, he simply cannot accept it!
However, Liu Haojia did not give him any room to think, and said directly: "Lao Gu, please explain to him slowly, don't let him enter Jinyiwei and act like a stupid goose. In addition, send someone to contact Zhang Banban secretly, and tell him that I If an official has something important to do, he must go to the palace secretly to pay homage to the Long Live Lord!" Kanshu La
Just as Gu Changhong was about to agree, he heard someone knocking on the door outside. Then he heard the servant outside the door push the door open and say, "Master, there is a message coming from outside the military camp, saying that someone is holding a badge from Dongchang and asking to see the master!"
Liu Haojia frowned upon hearing this! He knew that Zhang Jia must be looking for him with something important.
! You know, not many people know that he is in Fengtai Camp! So he waved his hand and said, "Tell him to come in!"
After a while, the servant came in with a man. This man was fair, fat, and well-dressed, looking like a businessman! But as soon as he spoke, he missed the point! He stepped forward to pay homage to Liu Haojia and said, "My servant Zhang Wen has sent his regards to the Marquis!"
Liu Haojia said: "Get up! Since you have obtained Dongchang's badge, you still know that I am here, but Zhang Banban has something urgent to give you?"
Zhang Wen stood up and said, "I don't know the specific details! My ancestor just asked me to come over and deliver a message to Lord Marquis, saying that you should come to the palace as soon as possible. Lord Long Live has something important to say!"
Liu Haojia nodded and said, "I happen to have something to report to Lord Long Live. Then you can make some arrangements. When can you enter the palace at the earliest? But you can't go in openly, you have to go in quietly!"
Zhang Wen said without changing his expression: "This slave can arrange this, but I just need to offend the Marquis! As for the time, it can be done in the next two days!"
Liu Haojia said: "Okay, in that case, you go and make arrangements to enter the palace tomorrow afternoon! I will be waiting for you on the third floor of Shiweizhai at noon tomorrow!"
Zhang Wen agreed and turned around to leave. Liu Haojia turned to Gu Changhong and said, "Now you two are discussing and making arrangements to send a group of people to the south of the Yangtze River! You have to go secretly so that the locals don't notice it and the court doesn't know about it! You have to inquire carefully after you go there. Let’s take a look at the local Thousand Household Offices and Hundred Household Offices. What’s the situation like? Well, you can be slow, but you must not be discovered!” Kanshu La
Both Gu Changhong and Gu Changhong knew that this matter was a big deal, so they immediately agreed seriously! Liu Haojia sat in front of the table and handled the final business.
By noon the next day, Liu Haojia had already appeared on the third floor of Shiweizhai. And Zhang Wen is already waiting here with a small baggage. No need to ask, the baggage must contain eunuch clothes.
Liu Haojia put on his robes and followed Zhang Wen, who blended into a group of purchasing eunuchs and entered the palace directly. Then under his cover, he arrived at the palace of Emperor Wanli. It was Zhang Jia who greeted him.
When Zhang Jia saw Liu Haojia arriving, he said to Zhang Wen: "You did a good job, go down first!"
