After Cao Qilai left work, he attracted everyone's attention, some of which were extremely inexplicable.
Zaifu Shentu Gang, Minister of Industry Zhou Zhenghuai, Minister of War Zuo Shilang Huang Youwei, and Taipu Temple Minister Xu Wenjin all had different expressions.
It is no secret that Cao Qilai was born in the North and had an irreversible friendship with the Ma family.
Sure enough, the word Han You came out of Cao Qilai's mouth.
"Your Majesty, there is a lot of construction work in the western suburbs of the city. The land is painted, houses are built, buildings are built, and pavilions are built. It is called the Summer Resort. There is a lot of excitement in the capital. No one is talking about it, no one is aware of it, and everyone is aware of it. No one cares about it, and there are many speculations, and this summer resort is run by Han You, the son of Master Yin Han of Jingzhao Mansion."
"oh?"
The emperor was indeed interested: "Is this summer resort for the Han family to escape the summer heat?"
Lu Baichuan rarely enters the palace recently. It's not that he doesn't want to come, but the emperor doesn't let him come.
Boss Zhou is a good boss who cares for his subordinates. He is not afraid of ten thousand but just in case. He is deeply afraid that the Ma brothers will kill Han You directly by playing tricks, so he asked Lu Baichuan to protect Young Master Han personally. There is no need to go to the palace to report anything important.
Classmate Da Chuan is also a lazy guy. He just follows Han You to gain knowledge. He didn't discuss the matters at the Summer Resort with Boss Zhou, including the details.
"Your Majesty, this summer resort is not used by the Han family, but by merchants."
The emperor's eyes lit up.
Now he gets excited when he hears the word "Han You", and becomes even more excited when he hears the word "Merchant".
Han You, represents money, merchants, still represents money. When Han You and merchants are combined together, Boss Zhou’s eyes light up.
"If it were just an ordinary business matter, Wei Chen would not talk about it in the court. Wei Chen ordered people to inquire about it. It can be said that this summer resort is a place where national laws are not allowed and etiquette is shameless."
After saying that, Cao Qilai knelt down directly on his knees, holding the wat tablet in his hand: "I have been an official for more than 20 years and served in the capital for more than ten years. I have never heard of anything so humiliating to gentle people, and I have never seen such a heartbreaking and crazy act. , and I never knew that such a scum dared to run such a place of obscenity outside Beijing."
"Lewd pleasure?" The emperor didn't know why: "Could it be a brothel?"
The emperor was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously turned to look at Wen Wu.
Wen Wu smiled slightly, you asked the right person about this, then...how can I know?
"It's not a brothel, it's called a villa, but what's hidden is an unsightly thing. The ghosts and ghosts are walking around and plotting evil things. This makes Wei Chen inevitably wonder whether Han You seems to be in charge of this matter. Could it be his father? Han Bairen is the master behind the scenes. You must know that when Master Han came to Beijing, he also had many private soldiers under his command..."
"shut up!"
Zhou Zhenghuai, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, suddenly stood up, his gray beard trembling faintly: "Cao Qilai, do you want to slander Han Bairen?!"
Many officials looked at each other in confusion. Why did Zhou Shangshu jump out as if his tail had been stepped on when the words "Han Bairen" were mentioned?
"I just have suspicions. The boss doesn't know something. The Summer Resort has recruited a lot of soldiers who have taken off their armor in recent days."
As soon as these words were said, many people's expressions changed.
Or if you say they are officials, it is obviously "employment", but in Cao Qilai's words, it becomes "recruitment".
Zhou Zhenghuai also frowned: "How many people?"
"More than a hundred people."
When they heard that there were only about "a hundred people", many officials felt that Cao Qilai was making a fuss out of a molehill.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Zhenghuai felt a thump in his heart.
If there were a hundred people... that would be a bit scary.
If someone else had hired a hundred disarmed troops, let alone a hundred or so, three to five times the number, Zhou Zhenghuai wouldn't think twice about it.
But if it was Han Bairen, Zhou Zhengjing would be a little embarrassed.
When Lao Han entered the capital, he brought a few thousand people with him. With these few thousand people, they served as imperial guards first. After they finished serving as imperial guards, they guarded the palace. After guarding the palace for a long time, they felt a little bored, so they sent most of them out to guard the palace. guard.
Others don't understand Han Bairen, but Zhou Zhenghuai does. He knows that Lao Han's game is to use small skills to create tension and excitement.
Zhou Zhenghuai also found that he was a little excited. He jumped out without understanding anything and was a little passive.
On the other hand, Boss Zhou's expression remained normal.
He knew very well that if Han Bairen really wanted to do something, he would not have waited until today, and he felt that even if Han You recruited a group of retired soldiers, it was only for self-protection. Lu Baichuan also mentioned this a long time ago, It is said that Han You bought a piece of land in the western suburbs, right next to Majia Village.
Cao Qilai looked at Boss Zhou again: "I don't dare to make any guesses, but the summer resort is really uneasy."
Boss Zhou was calm and calm: "What a difficult solution."
"The father and son of the Han family sent people to build momentum in the capital. The words they used were explicit, the words were vulgar, and the meaning was understated. It aroused people's imagination. It can be said to be an insult to politeness. It really is an insult to politeness. By the way, Wei Chen has no imagination. Lian Lian is just spurned."
Boss Zhou laughed dumbly: "Isn't this still the land of fireworks?"
"Not only that, in recent days, Han You has been recruiting famous prostitutes from various brothels and flower boats, filling the summer resort."
Boss Zhou has lost his patience. He thinks this guy is talking nonsense. If a brothel doesn’t recruit girls, how can it recruit men?
Cao Qilai saw that the preparations were almost done and said loudly: "This will inevitably remind me of the great traitor of the country during the Taikang period of the previous dynasty, Wu Shenyi!"
As soon as the name Wu Shenyi came out, many people's expressions changed, and even the emperor's eyes jumped.
During the Taikang period of the previous dynasty, more than sixty years ago, a wealthy businessman appeared in Beijing. He was nicknamed Cai Zaifu and his famous name was Wu Shenyi.
Wu Shenyi was originally a son of a noble family in the south. His caravans were spread all over the territory of the Kang Dynasty, and his family was extremely wealthy.
After arriving in Beijing, Wu Shenyi began to make friends with dignitaries in Beijing.
To make friends with others, you need introductions and recommendations. You can come to your door and give some gifts or some money. After a while, you will gradually become familiar with them.
But Wu Shenyi was more playful. He built the Moon View Tower in the west of the city in the name of a businessman. It was said to be a tower, but in fact it was three mansions connected together. The banquet for guests made many court officials forget to leave, and it can be described as extremely extravagant, with music and music played every night.
In addition, Wu Shenyi also hired a large number of servants and guards, including old soldiers who had taken off their armor, bodyguards who ran darts, etc.
After passing the Wangyue Tower, half of the officials in the court wanted to give Wu Shenyi some respect. Although he did not go to court as an official, he could still be said to be extremely powerful, so he got the nickname of Cai Zaifu, which means It is said that this guy is willing to spend money. By spending money, he can also do what Zaisu can do.
Cao Qilai's butcher's knife has been revealed. Han You has built a summer resort. There are not only girls, but also a large number of old soldiers who have taken off their armor. Isn't it just like Wu Shenyi back then? It's very possible, 80%, estimated, 80% or 90%. 10. Basically, the Han family and his son are plotting something evil.
Wu Shenyi did have evil intentions back then. It is unknown whether he planned to win over the courtiers before building Wangyue Tower. What people know is that this guy later became arrogant and actually wanted several ministers and ministers at that time to recommend him to the throne. He was appointed as an official in the imperial court and served as the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. He also sent two million coins to the northern pass to reward the soldiers.
The human heart is like this. There are so many lessons learned from the past, and they always refuse to listen to advice. They always think that they are different from others. As they continue to expand, their greed will not be satisfied, and they will eventually destroy themselves.
Wu Shenyi died miserably, not because of anything he did, but because he was too rich. When the emperor saw that this guy was so rich, he would be able to support the border troops when he was rich, so don't go too far. , go directly to the palace in one step, confiscate the family and exterminate the family, and divide all the family property into half for the national treasury and the imperial treasury.
However, the process was quite cumbersome at that time. The emperor wanted to fuck Wu Shenyi, and many people said good things about him. There were a lot of things going wrong in the process. In the end, he had to use force to get rid of this guy.
"Wu Shenyi, Wu Shenyi, Wu Shenyi..."
Boss Zhou, who was sitting on the dragon throne, murmured the name and focused his eyes on Cao Qilai.
"Do you think Han You has evil intentions?"
"I don't dare to make rash guesses, I just feel that we should take precautions before they happen."
"Is it to prevent trouble before it happens? Just because we recruited some unarmored soldiers and prostitutes?"
"Your Majesty doesn't know something."
Cao Qilai raised his voice: "Han You is really hypocritical. He did not explicitly say so when recruiting unarmored soldiers. Instead, he said that those with disabilities would be given priority, followed by those who are strong and healthy, and then relatives in the army."
After a pause, Cao Qilai said loudly: "But the summer resort is full of powerful people. Where can the disabled people come from? Isn't it just hypocrisy of Han You? To gain a good reputation, he resorted to such means and used the troops. What is cold is also the heart of the army, and its heart can be killed!"
The emperor's face looked a little ugly. Huang Youwei, the left minister of the Ministry of War, and many generals could not help but frown.
These people really care about the military.
If what Cao Qilai said is true, then Han You is indeed a hypocrite. He recruited disabled soldiers, seemingly to find a way out for these people, but in fact he just wanted to gain good reputation, but he hired strong and healthy veterans. .
This move did not violate the laws of Zhou, but in the eyes of the emperor and the generals, it was more hateful than violating the laws of Zhou.
"Recruiting famous prostitutes for lewd pleasure, I don't dare to make any guesses, but the Summer Resort has sent out invitations, and the mansions to which these invitations are sent are all court officials and wealthy families in Beijing."
Cao Qilai began to swing his sword, one sound louder than the other.
"Recruit old soldiers who have been disarmed and give them the job of guarding the hospital. The salary is far higher than that of other mansions, just like the soldiers who died in the private army."
"A few days ago, in the name of Jingzhao Mansion, Han You sealed off Yaxing in Nanshi and took away more than 20 children. Now those children are all in the summer resort, hanging with those prostitutes, and they are still children. The day is associated with unsightly things, deeds, and deeds.”
"His Majesty."
Cao Qilai took a deep breath and said directly: "Wei Chen speculates that Han You must have some evil intentions. We must investigate, guard against, and turn a deaf ear!"
