Chapter 732 What is the vassal king

Princes with only one word for title is the most precious, and the status of princes like Dai who have been enfeoffed since the founding of the country is obviously different, but they are just different.

The sect kings are all different from the emperor, and they are different from the inside and outside. These princes naturally also have eunuchs who serve them. In the palace, the eunuch leader is called eunuch. The word eunuch is just called the king behind closed doors. If you want to take it outside, this title is endless.

The royal palace did not have the power to recruit eunuchs on its own, and they were all allocated by the court. The eunuch was almost the leader of the foreman sent by the palace. Of course, the eunuch did something like surveillance and spy. The Ming Dynasty court was wary of the vassal kings in various places to a certain extent. Even though they were raising pigs now, people would still be arranged to keep an eye on it.

Although this eunuch was humble and respectful in front of the master of the royal palace, he should be respectful and polite even when he saw the concubine of this prince.

But the superiors and subordinates did not dare to forget it because of this politeness. In the case of Jiajing Nian, two princes were forced to commit crimes because of the scandals sued by eunuchs around them, and the other was forced to commit suicide. If we talk about it in a long time, this example would be even more.

The King of Dai said in anger that "increasing trouble", but Liu Gengsu must be invited in. The eunuchs in the royal palaces in various places are not too old, because the changes are frequent, and there will be a group of people in about three or four years. Liu Gengsu is in his thirties and looks thin and concise. After coming in, he saluted and greeted the prince, the princess and the prince.

"Report if you have any questions quickly, there are still important things to discuss here."

The princess said impatiently, Liu Gengsu agreed, then looked up and stood up straight. The King of Dai squinted his eyes. Liu Gengsu said everything he said was smiling, so why was he so cold today?

"The prince Qiansui, the princess, the princess, the princess, I already know the matter of the Huang family business today. Please ask the prince Qiansui, what do you want to deal with this matter?"

The princess, who was already a little annoyed by Liu Gengsu's sudden attitude of being neither soft nor hard, started to scold:

"Is this the same thing that you, a servant, can interrupt? Don't forget your duty and get out. Even if someone in the palace supports you, I can still practice family rules for you."

This was harsh and without any affection. Liu Gengsu's face froze, but a sneer appeared, and he spoke:

"Our family went out tonight, but they were called to our adoptive father's side. I gave some advice and told the prince and the princess here that if the Huang family's business had any problems, our family would have to write a memorial to the capital, and report that the royal palace and the Tartars had already colluded with each other in the Ming Dynasty."

He already called himself our family, so what else is there to do? But the three of Dai Wang's family couldn't say a word. When he heard a rumbling sound from the side, the prince of Dai accidentally knocked the tea bowl on his hand to the ground. The thick carpet on the ground was not broken. The eunuchs and palace maids serving outside didn't even look at it. It was obvious that Liu Gengsu had already given orders.

"...Eunuch Liu, you also have 10% of your shareholding in the business. Eunuch Liu has tens of thousands of taels in the past three or four years..."

"Why don't our family know? There are receipts or vouchers. Don't keep a book on your own and just come here to slander people. Our family knows a lot of things, such as a prince who is greedy for the beauty of the daughter of a remote royal family and married a concubine. For example, a prince who likes male style and forces several boys to death..."

Liu Gengsu only worked as a servant in the Dai Palace. He knew what prince was, probably the sons of the Dai Palace. So, the faces of the Dai Wang and his wife changed. Liu Gengsu had been working here for a long time. Although he gave various benefits like the previous rules, he knew many important things about private matters. If he really wanted to go to the capital, he might be afraid that the Dai Wang Palace, as well as the few princes who had been separated, would be detained and imprisoned, and it would be impossible to commit suicide.

The three men's expressions of the three men changed, and in the end, the King of Dai laughed dryly and said:

"Eunuch Liu is joking here again. The Huang family business mischiefs were hiding the mistakes of me. Today I learned that I naturally cannot indulge myself. Wang Tong has punished me. If there are people who are released, I will not be lenient."

"Prince..."

The princess over there just said something, and was forced back by the extremely stern eyes of the King Dai. Instead, the prince of the King Dai who was huddled aside for a long time and said:

"Eunuch Liu, Wang Tong is just a commander of the Jinyiwei, and the Dai Palace is the prince, you, and..."

Liu Gengsu had already lowered his head, looked respectful again, and said warmly:

"The prince is a thousand years old, the princess, the princess, I have finished reporting, I will take my leave first."

After saying this, he seemed to answer when he retreated, but also said to himself:

"The place of Datong is just a countryside. After staying here for a long time, your horizons will become smaller. I don't know how big the world is, what kind of person Wang Tong is..."

After Liu Gengsu was pushed out, although the hall was still warm, it seemed to be much colder, and the three people in the hall looked at each other speechless.

The godfather Liu Gengsu mentioned was Xu Wen, the military supervisor in Datong Town. This is also the custom of sending eunuchs everywhere. In addition to being in the palace, he always had to have a relationship with the person with the highest official title and a relative. The military supervisor in Datong Town naturally had the highest status in each position. However, Liu Gengsu worshipped Xu Wen in the palace. After Xu Wen released him, he arranged him directly to the royal palace.

A favorite concubine of the King of Dai was ordered to commit suicide because she was not treated with a wife. A woman died in the palace. Local officials usually pretended not to know. God knew what disgusting and dirty things involved.

However, the news was spread quickly. The pet sister's surname was Zhi, the sister of Zhi Wanchang, the boss of the Huang Family Trading Company. Of course, I don't know about the real sister and fake sister. This is also a rumor in the market. Everyone knows that Zhi Wanchang got up at the Huang Family Trading Company because of this relationship.

The revenge of the Daiwang Mansion that everyone originally expected was not done, but the Daiwang Mansion itself dealt with people who had relationships with the Huang family business.

What does this mean? The Dai Palace bowed to Wang Tong. No, to be more precise, the Dai Palace bowed to Wang Tong. What kind of energy does the imperial envoy have that can actually achieve this level.

There were all kinds of speculations, but no one dared to be lucky anymore. Only then did everyone understand why the most powerful Governor Xuanda, who was invaded and seized his power, did not show any performance after Wang Tong took office. It seemed that he already knew what kind of person Wang Tong was. He was indeed an old fox.

Wang Tong's orders in Datong City were all implemented in the most complete and efficient manner. The military funds accumulated by the Huang Family Trading Company in the city were sent to the Datong Youwei by a large cart. Some unnecessary materials were sold on the spot, and the price was only 70% of the market price. Shanxi was originally a place for commerce, and the merchants were well-versed. The price of these 70% showed that everyone had great cheap prices. When they were sold, merchants rushed over from Taiyuan Prefecture and Pingyang Prefecture, and they were snatched away without much effort. No one dared to ask for the store for fear of repetition, but everyone liked this goods.

Compared with selling goods, the blacksmith shops under the Huang Family Trading Company and the carpenters who built the craftsmen were also requisitioned. The craftsmen went to the right guard of Datong together, but no one cared about this.

It was the end of November, and the weather became colder. Wang Tong also received news that the Huwei army had entered Taiyuan Prefecture. In more than a month, the march was normal. If the time to assemble and raise materials was included, it would be very fast.

However, Tianjin Wei has stored a large amount of materials and has four-horse carts with much weight load capacity than ordinary carts, so they will naturally be very fast.

The 20,000 soldiers and horses in Jizhen will probably be about twenty days later than the Huwei Army. This is also good, which makes people sigh at the elite soldiers trained by Qi Jiguang.

With this news, Wang Tong also rushed to the right guard of Datong to take charge of military affairs. Deputy General Ma Dong had already gone there a month ago. The imperial envoy set off. All the officials in Datong City had to go to see him off. According to the regulations, the Prince's Mansion of Daiwang also sent envoys.

After saying those etiquettes and congratulations, Wang Tong answered according to the etiquette and added another sentence:

"Although I am not in Datong City, I am still the governor of Datong. Please remember it."

Some people were shocked, some people understood. According to the rules, Mei Wenjin, the governor of Datong, would rush to the right guard of Datong in half a month, but he understood and hurriedly said:

"Please rest assured, I'll save you all here."

Wang Tong nodded and went out to get on the horse. The guards were ready. They all left in dust and said that everyone understood, but in fact, some people still don’t understand, so they must ask at this time.

"…The imperial envoy said that he was not in Datong, and all the rules would be based on his time, otherwise he would come back and get rid of the crime..."

Everyone understood, and everyone was so proud.

No one dared to kill people in the street, and no one dared to rebel casually, because everyone knew the authority of the court and the power of the court.

In the area controlled by Altan's department on the grassland, especially in a core place like Guihua City, bandits and horse thieves on the grassland will never appear here. This is also a manifestation of deterrence and power, although this is one of the most prosperous business roads on the grassland.

However, news of the caravans of the Ming Dynasty and the caravans of the Altan tribe being robbed have begun to spread. In the eyes of outsiders, this is a sign of the weakness of the Altan tribe's strength and authority. Horse thieves began to gather, and even small tribes gathered to see if they could get some benefits here.
