Chapter 1301 Attacking Da Rong
Although Tang was born into a family of merchants, she had the charm of a lady. She knew poetry and literature, and was good at following the rules. She had learned palace etiquette from the old maids who came from the palace since she was a child.
Looks good-looking.
When he first saw Mrs. Tang, he was stunned by her beauty and aura.
He liked Tang's family, and the feeling that made his heart palpitate was unforgettable in his life. He had spent a lot of effort to marry Tang's family. When they were newly married, they also swore a poisonous oath. From then on, only Tang's family would be with him for the rest of his life. She is as precious as a pearl.
But Tang happened to be dead.
She is dead, do you want him to stay with her for the rest of his life? If he really kept it, he would probably be laughed to death.
What's more, the Dou family had just become an imperial merchant and were bullied by a group of powerful people and high-ranking officials. He had to find a backer for the Dou family and protect the Dou family's business.
Although the Meng family has declined now, twenty years ago, when Mr. Meng was still there, it was very prosperous. Moreover, Mr. Meng had good friends with many powerful people and aristocratic families because of the relationship between his father and ancestors, and married many people. The Meng family daughter undoubtedly saved the Dou family who was besieged by wolves.
So he knew that after Dou Meng's failure to climb into Prince Heng's bed, he had no intention of looking down on Dou Meng. Instead, he felt that he had gotten a big deal and immediately rushed to the Meng family to propose marriage.
At that time, the Meng family also held Qiao in disdain for being a cheap businessman. He only married Dou Meng after he promised to give Dou Meng 30,000 taels of silver a year for private use.
To put it bluntly, the 30,000 taels of private money was money given to the Meng family. It was only after Mr. Meng died that he slowly reduced the money. Otherwise, the Dou family would have given more money to the Meng family over the years.
"Yunniang, I know you must be blaming me, but I have my own reasons. If I hadn't endured the humiliation and bear the burden, the Dou family would have been eaten by the high-ranking officials in the capital. How could Brother Ke live the life of a young master like this? ?" Head Dou cried into the air: "You must forgive me. I know that I didn't care enough about Brother Ke, and I allowed Dou Meng to hurt him several times, but he didn't die... I have fulfilled my promise to you and let Ke Geer grow up safely."
Master Dou cried a lot in the room, and he was moved by the tears, but he never mentioned the promise he made to Mr. Tang, and avoided the fact that he did not want to delegate power and hand over the Tang family's property to Dou. Things about the young master’s family.
Grandma Tang told Dou Shaodong's family a lot about Dou's family and the Tang family. Almost every time, she would add a sentence: The master did have deep feelings for the young lady, but people can change.
…
In the Ming family, Ming Shaoqing was busy until night before returning home and asked A'ji, "How was it?"
The question was about wooing Dou Shaodong's family.
A'ji told Ming Shaoqing exactly what Dou Shaodong said, and finally said: "Dou Ke hesitated when he accepted the post. It seems he was worried."
After hearing this, Ming Shaoqing chuckled: "Yes, he is a smart one."
Dou Ke would hesitate, guessing that he had seen his thoughts, but Da Chu was like this. If he failed to attack Da Rong, Da Chu would only be worse off in the future. What was wrong with his thoughts?
Who among the aristocratic families, powerful nobles, or even other royal families, doesn’t have the intention to replace him?
The butler next to him frowned and said: "Sir, Dou Ke is smart, and the Dou family's money is also urgently needed by us, but he doesn't even care about his biological father, and he has climbed into the Ouyang family, and there is also a Dou Ou banker who has helped the emperor a lot. There is no need to worry that the Dou family will be swallowed up within five years. We have nothing to restrain him, and he is fearless by nature, so it is difficult to control him."
What you are planning is very big, and the people you use must ensure complete control.
"Nothing to restrain him?" Ming Shaoqing smiled, played with the tea bowl in his hand, and said, "Then find something to restrain him."
After hearing this, the housekeeper immediately understood: "Do you want him to get married and have children? But Dou Ke has a very high vision and will not marry anyone who is not the legitimate daughter of a high-ranking family. Although he has had women in recent years, he has never let those women get pregnant. Every time after the trip, he ordered someone to drink Bizi Decoction for five days, and then raised her for two months. Only after it was confirmed that the woman was not pregnant, she was given a large amount of money and allowed to leave."
And Dou Ke had only one purpose in doing this, which was to marry a noble girl without any concubines, wives, or concubines.
Ming Shaoqing: "Then find him a girl from a high-ranking family. There are many high-ranking families in decline. There must be many people who are willing to give up a girl for the money of the Dou family."
As for the power Dou Ke wanted to help the Dou family, he Ming Cong could do it.
"Yes, I will do it as soon as possible." The housekeeper responded, and suddenly knelt down to apologize: "My lord, Miss Yao is pregnant, and my servant is not doing things well. I beg you to punish me!"
After hearing this, Ming Shaoqing frowned and sneered: "I thought she was a sweetheart, but she turned out to be a fool. He aborted the fetus, ruined her appearance, and then fed her with the ultimate inheritance medicine and sold it to Da Rong. The people in her yard , the people who gave her the soup have all been dealt with, there is no need to keep the things that broke the rules."
Do you think his Ming Cong's heirs are so easy-going? For his Ming Cong child, the biological mother must be from a good background.
Moreover, his first wife is the daughter of the Ying family, the true eldest daughter of a thousand-year-old family. Ying's grandfather, father, and uncles are all powerful, and his brothers are also capable people. In the future, he will plan something for the Ying family. It would help him a lot. There was no way he would let a woman who came out of the building give birth to his child and hurt Ying's face.
But that woman is stupid and thinks that mother is more valuable than son. Do you really think that she, a prostitute, can call a noble woman like Ying a sister just by having a son?
That was an insult to the Ying family and the Ying family. He would not allow this to happen.
"As for you, go to the torture chamber to collect ten pieces of money and a monthly fine of one year."
The steward felt as if he had been granted amnesty and said, "I thank you so much for your kindness!"
Ming Cong did not stay here longer, but went to the backyard to communicate with the Ying family. However, he did not stay long and was soon summoned into the palace by the emperor.
…
In the palace, Emperor Jingyuan asked him about the men who died in the Meng family.
Ming Cong told everything.
Emperor Jingyuan was very angry, smashed something, and cursed: "How dare a group of treacherous people tame so many dead soldiers. Ming Cong, I order you to immediately thoroughly investigate the number of dead soldiers and shadow guards tamed by each family. If you find that the number exceeds the number, We will never tolerate this!"
Ming Cong frowned, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, you must not do it. Now that the army is about to go on an expedition, the capital cannot be in chaos. It is not too late to thoroughly investigate the training of dead soldiers and shadow guards by everyone. It is not too late to wait until the army returns from victory."
Dayong had always been a thorn in Emperor Jingyuan's side. Ming Cong quickly convinced Emperor Jingyuan by bringing up the idea of attacking Dayong.
"You are right, the most important thing at the moment is to attack the Rong." Emperor Jingyuan stared at a map of the Rong in the palace with evil eyes, and said bitterly: "Rong thieves, I will definitely destroy you guys this time. You beast, to avenge the Chu Kingdom!"
To avenge the humiliation I suffered!
In the days that followed, all the adults in the capital were busy preparing food, grass, soldiers, horses, weapons, equipment, sacrifices, etc., in preparation for an expedition to attack Da Rong.
