After three rounds of wine, five flavors of tea, and a banquet for fun, Duke Huayang retired the maid, and said to Shen Mo that he asked Mrs. Shen to come today, in fact, there is still something to discuss.
Shen Mo looked at Duke Huayang with a smile. There were no outsiders here, but Duke Huayang was fine.
Huayang Gongcai said: A few days ago, Mrs. Shen also tried his best. At present, the five patrons have changed their minds. The Lord and the Lord are fighting. After all, Daming and Daliang are good neighbors and friendly. In the past century, many ministers in my court bought estates in Daming and regarded Daming as their second hometown. Friendship boat is not something that can be turned over.
The government of Xiliang was corrupt, corruption and bribery became common practice. Not only the civil and military officials, but also the royal family members took the lead in gathering wealth. Many of these people were greedy of ink, and many of them moved to Daming, buying properties in the Jiangnan area to fill their own pockets. Everyone knew these things without telling them, but Huayang Gong said so thoroughly, but it was unexpected.
Shen Mo's trip is said to have brought a million taels of silver, which is almost equivalent to the military needs of the Western Army for half a year. It is to come to Xiliang to open up relations, and it is best to achieve political goals without fighting. After all, war is a money-burning game, especially when there is a desert between the bright and cool. Once the war starts, a large amount of real money is invested in it.
Shen Mo asked, could it be that the silver tael I gave was not enough
Duke Huayang pondered for a moment, then hesitated, the cabinet's several academicians would be fine, but the Queen's side had a big opening, and I'm afraid Lord Shen's money was a bit tight. Presumably you have also heard about it, my sister recognizes money but does not recognize people. I am an older brother, and her words are not so good.
Shen Mo laughed. I came here this time for money. Duke Huayang doesn't have to think about saving money for me all the time. It seems that we are stingy. As long as we are willing to speak, I will try my best to be satisfied.
Gong Huayang stretched out his five fingers.
Shen Mo frowned, five hundred thousand taels
Seeing that Shen Mo was unhappy, Duke Hua Yang even said that this number is not non-negotiable.
I thought to myself that this Duke Huayang said he was opening up the relationship for Shen Mo. In fact, he did not eat less and ask for it, but this is a matter between the court and it is not my turn to talk more.
Shen Mo said, 500,000 is 500,000, and I will send someone to your house tomorrow.
As soon as he said this, Liu Qingfeng took a breath, my dear, five hundred thousand taels. I stomped him and motioned him not to talk nonsense.
The wrinkles on Duke Huayang's face immediately dissipated, and he patted his chest and squinted. This matter is all over me. Speaking of my imperial emperor and empress, I am very affectionate. There is also a story about the emperor and empress in the imperial court.
Oh
Duke Huayang continued, a few years ago the Persian envoys came to ask for help, and asked me to send troops to Byzantium. Your Majesty said that I have to ask my mother about this matter. He also said that I should take care of the big things and the little things. The envoy asked, what are the trivial matters? Your Majesty said, for example, who sent troops to fight, appointment and dismissal of hundreds of officials, such trivial matters are in charge. What does the emperor care about? His Majesty said, what to eat at night, what clothes to wear, this kind of important matter, he is in charge. Ha ha!
Everyone burst into laughter, and Liu Qingfeng suddenly said that it is not good for Duke Huayang to black his own emperor like this.
The scene was a bit embarrassing for a while, I even picked up the drumsticks and stuffed him in his mouth, sirs, my brother is born with no humorous cells, and I will go back to clean him at night.
A clear drink came from outside the building, Langya Pavilion Zhong Luming was here, and Mei Changfeng came out to die!
Hua Yang smiled, and the right corner is here tonight. After all, take everyone out of the private room and onto the second floor stand.
I took the opportunity to ask Shen Mo in a low voice, is it worth the court to spend so much money for Xiliang
Shen Mo said coldly, as long as they dare to accept, I dare to send it. I'm not afraid that they will look ugly when they eat, but I'm afraid that they won't eat. These silver, within three months, let them double out of their mouths.
There was a fierceness between the voices, and I kept shutting down. It would be better not to inquire about such national affairs.
Zhong Luming was dressed in a strong outfit, holding the son's fan, standing proudly in the hall, showing a provocative expression on his face. The servant Lao Li squatted in the night, lethargic, but the teak sighed.
I jumped down from the second floor, came to the teak table, picked up the wine glass, and took a sip. There are family members in the building, and heroes outside the building. It's a scene like this.
Teak was very depressed. Seeing me babble, I grabbed my glass and said, I'm drunk to death.
I said, isn’t your little brother obedient to you the most? Teak sighed and came out of the rivers and lakes, the wings were hard, the senior brother's words were worthless.
When Zhong Luming saw me, he turned his head and smiled, waiting for me to abuse Mei Puppy, and then come to you to compete. I said no, I am willing to bow down.
Zhong Luming shouted again, Zhong Luming is here, Mei Puppy comes out to die!
Hear from someone on the second floor, what are you shouting like a mad dog
Zhong Luming said, you hide inside like a tortoise, are you afraid of it
With a bang, debris flew in a small room on the second floor, and a figure flashed out and landed in the lobby. It is Mei Changfeng, the master of the three pavilions of Xiliangjian Pavilion.
Mei Changfeng has a handsome appearance. Once he entered the Xiaosheng Jianghu Ranking, his reputation spread throughout the Central Plains. He looked at Zhong Luming jokingly and shook his head, saying that the guy who didn't even grow the hair on his mouth would just learn from others to challenge him.
Zhong Luming said, even the hair on his mouth didn't even grow up, so he'd beat up your sword pavilion five masters as dogs. If I grow up all the time, why don't you grab Zhao Fuyi's beard
Mei Changfeng hid his hands in his sleeves, with a calm expression, ignoring Zhong Luming and Zhao Fuyi's insults, and smiled dumbly, you are not my opponent, if you kneel and beg for mercy now, I can let you go.
This Mei Changfeng martial arts master is also a master of psychological warfare. Before the two of them started, he first forced Zhong Luming to fight with words.
Zhong Luming doesn't show weakness. If you kneel down and beg for mercy, I won't trouble Zhao Fuyi, Master.
Mei Changfeng laughed loudly. Seeing you with a delicate skin and tender flesh, if you lose, how about sleeping with your brother
The servant Li narrowed his eyes, and Teak sighed again.
Zhong Luming was furious, I will kill you!
With a wave of the folding fan, three steel nails shot out from between the fans, Mei Changfeng snapped his fingers back, and the poor three hapless ghosts next to him were hit by the steel nails and were seriously injured. The crowd around the audience immediately took a few steps back.
Without giving way, Zhong Luming attacked Mei Changfeng with him. In the blink of an eye, the two sides exchanged more than ten moves.
Liu Qingfeng came in and said, this little son's martial arts is not weak, but lacks actual combat experience, coupled with his impetuous heart, I am afraid that he can't match Mei Danfeng's fifty moves.
Teak said to the old servant, Lao Li, don't care about it. Old Li remained silent and closed his eyes to rest his mind.
Zhong Luming's martial arts took an elegant and light path. Although his internal strength was not weak, it was still a little worse than Mei Changfeng.
Mei Changfeng was not eager to win, one by one, vicious and fierce, specializing in the key points, and not painful to make a killer move, quite meaning to molest Zhong Luming.
Zhong Luming became more impatient as he fought, and he did not take advantage of a set of folding fans. Seeing his eyes fired, he threw away the folding fan, and drew a soft sword from his waist. The sword was like a snake. Pianruo was shocked. He appeared in cold light and attacked Mei Changfeng.
Mei Changfeng was finally moved, the cold light in his sleeve suddenly appeared, a short knife came out, ding ding ding, and then Zhong Lu mingled a sharp sword. He didn't forget to tease and said, this sword is a bit interesting.
Zhong Luming roared, I'm fighting with you!
After all, holding a sword in one hand, he draws arcs in the air, intending to gain momentum. How could Mei Changfeng be willing to wait for him to use this trick, and the knife came to the little boy in front of him.
Teak is anxious, the younger brother is not allowed!
A figure flashed by, the servant Lao Li flicked Mei Changfeng's short knife, and Mei Changfeng abandoned the knife and withdrew three or four feet away. Lao Li slapped off Zhong Luming's soft sword, and said something nonsense!
Zhong Luming annoyed, why are you blocking me
Teak said on the side, Lao Li is also doing good for you. You haven't practiced Xuanyuan swordsmanship. If you force it, you might be backlashed.
Zhong Luming said, I want you to take care of it! Point to Mei Changfeng, fight again!
Mei Changfeng looked at the old servant, but Senior...
Lao Li stopped and said that the old slave was just a domestic servant of the Zhong family in Langya. I took my young master to visit Xiliang, so I stopped visiting Jiange. You tell Zhao Fuyi that the agreement 20 years ago is still valid.
Mei Changfeng didn't speak, but bowed and turned away. It was the little boy who was full of irritation, and teak didn't work no matter how to coax him, and suddenly ran out with a wow.
Teak sighed, said goodbye to me, and chased out with the old servant.
Even though the little boy has a high martial arts skill, he is still a child in his mind. After this setback, it may not be a bad thing. It's the servant Lao Li who is inscrutable in martial arts, and seems to know Zhao Fuyi, but I can't remember that there is such a person in the rivers and lakes.
Shen Mo and Duke Huayang still have to talk about things, so I will leave first with Liu Qingfeng.
As soon as I left Wanhualou, a warning sign appeared in my heart. A sword light fell from the sky, and I dodged to the right. Just where I stood, there was a hole in the ground with a thick thumb and a few feet deep.
Qin Sanguan!
Shen Luoyan was full of anger and attacked me with a sword. This lady is still lingering and greets her when she shoots. She deserves to be unable to find a target.
I said, the little pavilion master, a good Chinese New Year, I would like to pay you an early year!
How could Shen Luoyan listen to it? I can see that this chick is real, and she flashes back again and again, so that a good man doesn't fight with a woman, hum.
Liu Qingfeng is still talking cold words on the sidelines, do you want to help? It's really enjoyable to fight with beauties. Shen Luo Yan's sword flower flicked, and that sword attacked Liu Qingfeng.
Liu Qingfeng rolled around with a lazy donkey, hid in the back, angrily said that we have no grievances and no grudges. If you want to kill Qin Sanguan, you count me!
I said you are really my good brother. After all, just run away.
Shen Luoyan was chasing after him. Liu Qingfeng did his best. I pulled his clothes and the two returned to the embassy. Standing at the door, I looked at Shen Luo Yandao. It was too late, so I won't invite you in for tea! Moreover, the embassy is in the territory of Ming Dynasty. If Miss Shen wants to come in, she will get an approval letter from the Ministry of Etiquette.
Shen Luo Yan's face is frosty, don't come out if you have the ability.
I laughed, I have no abilities and don't want to go out. It's too late, and I won't pay a New Year's greeting to the pavilion master tomorrow. After all, close the gate of the embassy.
Are you gone? I asked.
Liu Qingfeng took a look from the crack in the door, and went away, three views, tell me, what exactly did you do to make her hate you
