Dominate the Country

"Hehe..." In the Nanjing Ming Palace, Chen Ming looked at a report sent by the National Security Bureau and laughed unconsciously.

"Li family, Gao family, are you going to form a strategic alliance?"

"Ningbo Ye family is really lucky."

Chen Ming himself had never thought that Li Hao did not marry a wife, but first had a concubine, a concubine of Ye Dezhong of Ningbo Ye family. At the same time, Gao family's eldest son, Chen Ming's eldest cousin Gao Yanjing, also took a daughter of Ye family as a concubine.

Is this a blessing in disguise for the Ye family?

The status of his family fell, and Ye Dezhong himself went to prison, but the Ye family became the cheap in-laws of the Li family and the Gao family. The Li family represents the queen, and the Gao family represents the queen mother. The Ye family will be the bridge to communicate with the Li family and the Gao family in the future.

If this new role is played well, the prospects of the Ye family will not only be revitalized, but also go to a higher level. Put their influence out of Ningbo and Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Of course, the Ye family jumped up too fast. It seemed that they wanted to put aside all the bad luck and blows they had suffered a while ago and show the world how glorious they are now. Whether it was the children of the Ye family in Nanjing or the children of the Ye family in Ningbo, they were jumping a little too much.

"Zhang Dayong."

"I'm here."

"Send someone to greet Shuntian Prefecture and ask them to strictly enforce the law and act in accordance with the law." This attack was not just against the Ye family. Maybe it was because of the dispatched troops, many people in Nanjing were jumping.

Chen Ming didn't want to see this scene.

From the perspective of the ruling class, the Ye family was jumping up and down, swaggering in the city, and pretending to be powerful. They were troublemakers who were restless and law-abiding.

For the traditional Chinese imperial power, they hoped that the whole world would be a stagnant pool of water. In their eyes, only the honest and dutiful people who did not say a word when they were wronged were called good people.

Guys like the Ye family who jumped around, pretended to be powerful, and caused adverse social effects were definitely dragging their feet!

They should be slapped to death.

But Chen Ming obviously would not and would not slap the Ye family to death now.

Zhang Dayong bowed hurriedly: "I obey your order..."

Chen Ming did not say anything, but just ordered leisurely: "Go to Gaochang Hou's house and let Gao Yanjing enter the palace." Gaochang Hou is the title given by Chen Ming to his uncle Gao Peng in this life. Its name is Turpan Administrative Office, and it used to be a small country that existed in the Western Regions for hundreds of years. This is also for Chen Ming to show the glory of the Gao family.

"I obey your order." Zhang Dayong took the order and left.

After Zhang Dayong left, it was time for Chen Ming to eat. Chen Ming's meals are still relatively simple, but he is more persistent in pursuing taste. After eating so many good things for so many years, if he travels back to the 21st century, Chen Ming feels that he is also qualified to be a gourmet.

The food is not so oily, and the presence of various meat, poultry, and delicacies from mountains and seas is gradually decreasing. Today, the dishes served were cabbage in clear soup, tofu in clear soup, three kinds of fried food, stir-fried spring bamboo shoots, and shrimp and bean curd.

Chen Ming only ate a small bowl of rice, but ate most of the soup.

After he drank a cup of tea to help digest his food, Gao Yanjing entered the palace under the guidance of Zhang Dayong.

"Your Majesty!" Gao Yanjing bowed immediately when he saw Chen Ming and said, "Long live the emperor."

Chen Ming looked at Gao Yanjing. The latter was about the same age as Chen Gang, nearly 40 years old. He was wearing a military uniform, short hair, and a pair of high leather boots. He was estimated to be more than 1.7 meters tall, with a square face and a burly appearance. There was a black mole on his chin, and his eyes shone in the dark, making people feel rough and shrewd. He looked very different from his fourth son Gao Yanming. Gao Yanming was delicate, with delicate skin and tender flesh, and wore a pair of crystal glasses on his eyes. He looked like a talented person and a scholar.

Gao Yanjing, on the other hand, was from the military, not a combat soldier, but from the logistics department.

"Come here, please give me a seat."

Chen Ming had never been close to Gao Yanjing since he was a child, because the age difference between the two sides was too great. As for this person, people from the same class get along better and more comfortably. Chen Ming was closest to Gao Yanming when he was a child, because they were of similar age. They climbed over walls and trees together, took bird eggs and caught fish together, so they had a 'common language', so of course they had feelings.

Did Gao Yanming regret it? Of course he did. He regretted missing a great opportunity and not investing earlier. Even when Chen Ming didn't know, he was worried that the marquis hat on the old man's head would fall on the head of his fourth child in the future?

Of course, he would not show any of this in front of outsiders. The image of a good brother would be more helpful to him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me a seat!" Gao Yanjing first thanked him, and then sat down respectfully. The empress dowager liked him more as her eldest nephew.

"Is Gaochang Hou in good health?" Chen Ming asked.

"Thanks to your majesty's blessing, my father has always been in good health..." Gao Yanjing answered immediately, even with some emotion in his eyes.

Chen Ming nodded, watching it, but in his heart he thought that Gao Yanjing's acting skills were still not up to standard, a little awkward and artificial. He quickly skipped this topic. Chen Ming knew a little about the family affairs of the old Gao family, and did not intend to ask in detail.

In Gaochang, children are prosperous, with four sons and two daughters, but all four brothers of the Gao family have a good relationship with children. As for Gao Yanjing in front of him, there are a lot of women in the family, only three of them lay eggs, and one of them is a daughter. . The eldest son is already married, but the youngest son is only two years old. The same is true for the brothers of the Gao family. There are many women at home, and they also raise children outside the home, but their children are far less blessed than his father. Gao Yanjing has two sons, which is considered too many.

Chen Ming turned the topic to his children and told Gao Yanjing not to worry. Wasn't it just like he had a difficult time with his children? But now?

And his father, who used so many women at the beginning, only left behind two sons. But what happened next? Six sons emerged one after another, as well as several daughters. These are all real examples.

Gao Yanjing is not yet forty, and he is not very old yet. He still has plenty of time.

Gao Yanjing was submissive and felt dizzy. Why did the emperor just tell him these things when he asked him to come? Is the emperor just bored and wants to talk about home affairs? Or talk to yourself?

Oh, by the way, the emperor finally said a few words about economic development, talked about the industrial companies affiliated to the Gao family, and said a few official words about how to operate properly.

Others, not much else. Gao Yanjing was sent out of the palace feeling dizzy.

He felt it was so magical.

Did the emperor drag him here just for this nonsense? But Gao Yanjing considered what Chen Ming said over and over again, but he couldn't figure out anything.

But just when Gao Yanjing walked to the palace gate in confusion, the eunuch's voice suddenly came from behind.

"Master Gao, the emperor heard that Master Gao has recently taken in a beautiful girl, and asked his servants to come and present him with a jade carving to celebrate."

The meaning of the jade carving is very auspicious. There is a grape plant and many bats, which obviously means more children and more blessings. When Gao Yanjing thought about the concubine's identity and then thought about the emperor's words, his confusion finally dissipated, and he finally understood what the emperor was talking about.

This time it actually has some meaning.

"The emperor is mentioning the Ye family, and he is also mentioning you." Gao Pengqi stroked his gray beard and said with narrowed eyes. He had already retreated, but Ren Meng also retreated not long ago, and the one who came up was Gao Yanjing.

After returning home, Gao Yanjing immediately told his father everything that had happened. Gao Pengqi immediately understood what Chen Ming meant. The Ye family's jumping was a bit too much, but the Ye family had just tied up with the Gao family and the Li family. It was impossible for the emperor to attack the Ye family at this time, which would be tantamount to insulting the Gao family and the Li family. So the emperor chose to knock on the side drum of the Gao family, and at the same time, he was also knocking on Gao Yanjing.

The deputy director of the logistics department. Although he is not a minister, he still holds a high position of authority. Don't lose the position you finally got just because of some fearless things.

"You have someone go check it out. What kind of trouble has the Ye family gotten into these days? Clean up all the trouble."

Gao Yanjing naturally talks about caution and should be cautious. Gao Pengqi felt that his eldest son was not a frivolous person, and he was most worried about the Ye family. At this moment, Gao Pengqi suddenly felt a little regretful. Why did he choose the Ye family as a bridge in the first place? It had only been a few days, but the Ye family had already alerted the emperor. It was so incompetent.

It's just that the Li family wants to use the Ye family to promote the eldest son of the emperor who never forgets his old friends. As for Gao Pengqi, he also had a relationship with Ye Xinzhi, the old man of the Ye family. Thinking of his old friends, Gao Pengqi also agreed with the Li family's choice. But looking at it now, this choice is not very good.

Ye Xinzhi is not the current Ye family.

After coming out of home, Gao Yanjing went to the office to sit for a while. Unlike a few months ago when everyone was too busy to go home, the logistics department is much more relaxed now. Even Chen Quan comes here for a walk every day and then goes home.

Is it because we just sent away a group of dispatched troops and immigrants to North America?

Another big boss in the Logistics Department, Ren Meng, was an old man from the Supreme Emperor's family. The Emperor had previously promoted him from his position in the National Grain Administration and assigned him to the Logistics Department as a deputy. The people who were busy a while ago couldn't support it any longer. Not long ago, they begged the Supreme Emperor to clarify that he was transferred to the Internal Affairs Department and took a casual position, so that he could retire in peace. As for the position left by Ren Meng, Gao Yanjing came to take over. The two of them got what they wanted, and they were both more happy than having a little wife.

As soon as Gao Yanjing sat in the office lobby, more and more people came to say hello and inquire. Was it because Gao Yanjing was recruited into the palace by the emperor? Many people are worried about dispatching troops and want to get accurate information from the top. When will the second batch of North American troops be dispatched?

Until after get off work, there were still people coming to see me. In the past, Gao Yanjing might have gone out for drinks with others to keep in touch with each other. But today he had no such intention and said firmly: "Go back home."

As soon as he stepped into the door of the mansion, his personal attendant Gao Jin came over to wait on him, saying at the same time: "Madam, there are still guests who have not left."

Gao Yanjing originally wanted to go back to the backyard to rest, but when he heard this, he turned around and went to the front study. After changing clothes and washing up, he asked Gao Jin: "Who is here today?"

Gao Jin is Gao Yanjing's personal attendant. He stays in the house so that he can contact Gao Yanjing at any time if anything happens. Now Gao Peng and his wife have not only stepped down from officialdom, but also from housekeeping power. Gao Yanjing's wife made the final decision on all matters in the Gaochang Houfu.

Moreover, Gao Yanjing is now the deputy director of the Logistics Department, so he is a very capable person. This time, the Gao family's Gao Ziying was able to send the first batch of dispatched troops. This was entirely due to Gao Yanjing's ability. Gao Jin reported the names and origins of the visitors. Gao Yanjing heard some familiar ones and some unfamiliar ones, but they should not be underestimated.

These people are also inquiring about news from North America to a large extent.

There is no other way. Who asked Gao Yanjing to be in charge of shipping in the logistics department now.

Grandma Gao over there heard that he was back, and hurriedly sent away the guests. When she came over, she was drunk at the banquet until she was dizzy. Before entering, she smiled and said, "My lord, you are finally back!" The house is really lively. Gao Yanjing was summoned to the palace by the emperor. Many people came to the palace eager to hear some fresh news.

Gao Jin quickly stepped back and asked his master to speak. Gao Yanjing smiled and did not get up. Grandma Gao turned around the screen to see that he was still sitting there peacefully. She deliberately lowered her face and said, "Because of your socializing with irrelevant people at home, you don't come over to see me when you come back!" "

Gao Yanjing pretended to be proud, "Isn't this because your master and I have a good reputation outside and can eat well?"

After a few words of teasing between the old couple, Gao Yanjing said to his wife sincerely: "It's really hard for you today." It's not just this person, it is estimated that there will be many people in the house in the next few days. He told the truth now that no one believed that the emperor would specially summon him to the palace to chat about family matters. He was too busy outside to come home, and she had to entertain a lot of people in the house.

"Haha, why is this tiring?" Grandma Gao laughed, "They all begged us to come. I just need to sit and listen to their flattery, and I also received a lot of good things!"

She said it very easily, but it's so simple there. She would greet everyone who could come in. Those people said a lot of flattery, but Grandma Gao also wanted to say nice things to them. After all, anyone who can come to the door at this time will not be too weak to the Gao family.

It is true that the Gao family is a descendant of the family, and it is true that the Gao family is the emperor's uncle. But there are too many people named Chen in Nanjing. However, there are many people named Chen who no longer live in Nanjing. Their status is by no means lower than that of Gao Yanjing, but the difference in authority means that their families cannot get any gossip.

So they could only keep their eyes on the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and the Logistics Department. Gao Yanjing, who was in charge of shipping, was suddenly recruited into the palace by the emperor. How could he not talk about North America?

"You should discipline Ye's little girl well from now on. Don't let her contact the Ye family frequently, so as not to involve our Gao family in the matter."

"Although the emperor is using his hand to beat the Ye family today, why isn't he giving us a reminder?"

"Go and write a message to the Ye family tomorrow. The government is investigating the whole story of the Ye family, and they will be able to give out a message tomorrow. Invite people from the Ye family to the house the day after tomorrow. Tell him the news. .

To scare him, just say that the emperor is watching them. "

"Even if the Ye family was the victim of what happened in Ningbo, the emperor would not have a very good feeling towards the Ye family. At least if this matter is left to me, I will not be completely indifferent. Let the Ye family be careful!"
