Song Qing was also very curious. He had seen King Wei's domineering behavior in the Hall of Supreme Harmony before. I don't know who dared to rob him.
"Go and check." Wan Yanliang stared at the box and ordered casually, and soon some of his men ran out.
"Who am I? It turns out to be King Changsheng." Before that subordinate came back, King Wei stood at the window of the box, already calling out the identity of that person, looking over there and sneering endlessly.
"King Changsheng?" Song Qing's heart moved. He had been in the capital for a long time, so he naturally knew who King Changsheng was. Wanyan Yuan, King Changsheng was the younger brother of Emperor Xizong.
&》, ⊕.▽￡.≌p; Now that there is no need to hide your identity, the window of Chang Sheng Wang's box was opened, and a man in his thirties was sitting leisurely by the window, blowing tea He said lightly, "His Royal Highness, King Wei, don't blame me for not reminding you, you should respectfully call me Uncle, otherwise people who don't know will still be King Wei, and they don't even have these royal etiquettes." I know."
"You!" Wei Wang was furious, but he also knew that he was wronged first, and it was not easy to refute in front of so many people.
King Chang Sheng chuckled, stood up and stood at the window looking at the oiran below: "Why, does King Wei also like this oiran?"
"How is it?" King Wei snorted coldly.
"Fifteen taels of gold is really a big deal," Chang Sheng Wang suddenly changed the subject, "but if I remember correctly, you haven't got a formal fief, so how can you get such a large sum of money?"
"I..." King Wei's face changed drastically. In fact, with his status, it is not easy to want money, but these are all hidden unspoken rules. How can you say it in front of so many people
King Changsheng pressed on step by step, his eyes suddenly sharpened: "Oh, this king remembered, His Royal Highness King Wei has been in charge of controlling the floods of the Yellow River during this time, could it be that those below who repaired the river embankment beg you to do something, quietly respecting you Don't blame the uncle for talking too much, you are young and ignorant, what kind of money you should take and what kind of money you shouldn't take, maybe you don't know what kind of money you should take, but don't be fooled by those officials who are trying to gain money. The repair of the embankment of the river is related to the lives of thousands of people, if something goes wrong, His Highness may not be able to bear the consequences."
As soon as Chang Sheng Wang said these words, the people below immediately exploded. Although they did not dare to show too much due to the power of Wei Wang, they whispered to each other and pointed at Wei Wang.
Song Qing was puzzled in his heart: Doesn't Chang Shengwang's relentlessness mean that the two sides are completely tearing each other apart? After all, the king of Wei is the future heir to the throne. Would he be too reckless
Xiao Yu on the side leaned into Wan Yanliang's ear and whispered, "It seems that King Wei beat Wan Yan Tesi eighty times earlier, which completely annoyed King Chang Sheng." Xiao Yu's voice was very low, but now Qiu Xiang It was so noisy in the building, if it hadn't been whispered in his ear, even Wan Yanliang might not have heard it clearly, but with Song Qing's cultivation level, he could naturally hear it clearly.
"It turns out that Wanyan Tesi belongs to the King of Changsheng." Knowing this relationship, Song Qing suddenly became cheerful, but at the same time secretly startled: Wanyan Yuan, as a prince, actually made friends with the generals in charge of the palace army. No idea, no ghost will believe it.
Reminiscent of the tradition of brotherhood and brotherhood in the Kingdom of Jin, I am afraid that King Changsheng also has the idea of competing for the throne. No wonder he and King Wei will be at odds and openly tear each other apart.
But what role does Wan Yanliang play in it? Seeing Xiao Yu respectful to him, it was not like a normal superior-subordinate relationship, but like Wan Yanliang's retainer, it was really weird.
"Nonsense, my king has always been clean, how can I take bribes!" Wei Wang blushed and said bravely, wishing to slap Chang Sheng Wang's face in his heart, but he also knew that this could only be thought. Think, after all, King Changsheng is not inferior to him in power, and he is also his uncle.
"Oh? Since His Highness is honest and honest, how can he come up with fifteen taels of gold?" Chang Sheng Wang looked suddenly enlightened, "This king understands, His Highness is probably planning to scare other competitors with an exaggerated price first." Quit, anyway, you are the king of Wei, could it be that Qiuxianglou is so ignorant of current affairs, can it really ask you to charge so much money?"
Wei Wang's face turned blue and white, and he stretched out his hand: "Forget you, let's go!"
Song Qing admired secretly, this King Changsheng really had clever means, one step at a time was waiting for King Wei to jump down, no matter whether it was corruption and bribery or in the end using power to oppress people and not pay the bill, no matter what King Wei admitted, it would cause a lot of fluff, and he could only Run away in desperation.
"Twenty taels of gold, I'm afraid it will be difficult for King Changsheng to get it out." Song Qing suddenly wondered. Now that he is the head of Tang Kuo's family and one of the top three families in the Kingdom of Jin, it would be difficult for him to mobilize so much money in a short period of time. It was not an easy task, and it had to be strictly reviewed by the elders in the family. Even if Wanyan Yuan was a prince, it would not be easy.
Xiao Yu on the side laughed: "My son-in-law doesn't know something. Even though he called out such a high price, it doesn't mean that King Changsheng will really give so much money. Just like what he said just now, Qiuxiang Tower dare not charge Wei Wang. How dare you ask him to collect the full amount? At least he will take the initiative to give you a 20% discount. And I am afraid that Chang Sheng Wang will not even pay the 20% discount."
Song Qing wondered: "Could it be that he will openly renege on his debt?"
Xiao Yu laughed a few times, couldn't help but glanced at Wanyan Liang, Wanyan Liang also smiled: "Brother Tang Kuo is straightforward, it's normal to not know the way of this, now everyone is his own, there is nothing to hide Tuck it in, Xiao Yu, just talk to him."
Only then did Xiao Yu explain in detail: "Of course he would not blatantly renege on the debt, but chose another ingenious method, such as proposing not to pay the debt in one lump sum, but to choose to pay it in several installments. Is it possible that Qiuxianglou dared to refuse? ? As time goes by, there will be more places to do tricks, and if my expectations are not bad, Qiuxianglou may only receive the first payment in the end."
Song Qing was stunned when he heard it. He came from later generations. Although his vision greatly surpassed that of people in this world, when it came to how to use power, he couldn't keep up with these aristocrats. His skills made him amazed. No wonder these people Every now and then, they bid for two gold, but those ordinary wealthy businessmen can only compare with them with real gold and silver, how can they compare.
Song Qing suddenly thought of a key question: "Isn't the oiran's income going to the palace this time, and the one in the palace won't get the money at that time, wouldn't it be..."
