In the evening, Li Chengcheng set up a banquet to entertain Fu Liangji and his party.

It was still early to finish eating, Zhang Su saw that the atmosphere was good, although Li Chengyun was not as funny as rumored, and his words and deeds were quite kind, so he tentatively mentioned that they came this time, bringing the secret decree of the imperial court.

Li Chengyun reacted indifferently and asked them to go to the small flower hall next to them to talk in detail.

Seeing that the other party did not mean to kneel down to accept the order, Fu Liangji took the initiative to find the bottom of the steps, saying that they were only ordered to meet with Cheng Guogong first, and the two sides negotiated the current situation of Daliang, thus saving Li Chengyun from kneeling.

Lee accepted it calmly.

After sitting down, he did not mention the secret decree, and took the lead in making trouble: "Last year, I received the news of the death of the emperor's uncle, and my father had just been out of trouble. There is a doubt in the country, the Holy Spring and Autumn Festival is at its peak, and I was fine when I left Beijing, how could I suddenly die? Manager Zhang, you are on an errand in the palace, so you must be very clear about the hidden secrets. ”

Zhang Su said "ah", staring at Li Chengyun in a daze, but he didn't react for a while.

What does the other party mean by this, do you really suspect that the regent or Queen Tan has secretly done something? Or do you want to use this as an excuse to completely tear your face with Bong-kyung?

Doesn't turning his face mean that his head falls to the ground and he will never be able to go back to Fengjing?

Zhang Su swallowed and foamed: "Grandpa Guo, the first emperor worked hard for the country, his health has not been good, the news of Grandpa Guo's capture came back to Beijing, and he couldn't sleep all night, and then the second prince colluded with the Dongyi people." wanted to fight back to Fengjing, but the first emperor vomited blood and fell into a coma on the spot after hearing the news, and soon couldn't get out of bed. There is really no secret to his old man's death. ”

Li Chengyun was noncommittal, his thumb gently rubbed the outer edge of the tea cup, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and the flower hall fell silent.

Zhang Su couldn't help but be a little frightened, looked left and right, and hoped that someone would help him say a few words.

Lu Mao hesitated and wanted to open his mouth, but Li Chengyun had already raised his head. Leaning forward with his upper body, this posture was very imposing, and before he knew it, he completely seized the initiative.

"Then you are here. What do you want to say to your country? Want to take over several states in the east? ”

Zhang Su didn't understand at all that he was obviously a deputy Qincha, so why did he become the main target of Li Chengyun?

He opened his mouth and added, "Grandpa Guo, you have a lot of credit this time. Long live the intention to crown you king. Hereditary replacement, fiefdom...... Choose between several states. ”

He finally said the conditions offered by the imperial court.

Li Chengyun put down the teacup and raised his eyebrows.

This expression made Lu Mao, who was familiar with him, regain a little bit of the feeling of having fun together in Fengjing, but what Li Chengyun was about to say next caught the three of them a little off guard.

"It's not impossible to take it back, forget about the king or something, you have probably heard of it, when the prince was captured. The Dongyi people demanded a ransom of 20 million taels. Later, I sold the ancestral property of the Guogong Mansion and my mother's relics, and borrowed some from relatives and friends. I can make up this number, but I didn't use it to pay the ransom, I used it all for Ji Nantang. ”

If Fu Liangji didn't believe it before, but today after seeing the scale of the Ji family's army and the number of ships, the three of them all had a feeling of "so it is" in their hearts.

No wonder Li Chengyun is shabby like this in the mansion off the water.

20 million, what a big deal, does Li Chengyun want to settle accounts with the imperial court and ask for this money?

Li Chengyun smiled faintly: "These are what I am willing to pay, and there is no need for the imperial court to be responsible, but this is far from enough, in the past two years, in order to drive the enemy out of the Great Liang, I came to borrow money, and Ji Nantang was the guarantee, we owed the major families and merchants almost two or three thousand taels of silver, in addition, the salary of nearly 200,000 troops has been owed, and there are also pensions for the casualties. ”

Fu Liangji and the three of them were dumbfounded, according to what Li Chengyun said, these items must add up to a terrifying number.

"I'm afraid that I still have an outstanding account and haven't remembered it for a while, so the three of you might as well stay away from the water first, and I will send a few officials who are specifically in charge of this, and calculate it clearly in front of you, so that I can go back and report to the regent and Tan Lao Guoshi."

No matter what Li Chengyun's real intentions were, his attitude towards this matter undoubtedly put Fu Liangji and the others at ease.

Without it, the three of them can go back smoothly.

As for whether Fengjing can get this huge amount of money, that is the next headache for Yang Haoyu and others, and it has little to do with them.

Although Fu Liangji had a good relationship with Ji Nantang, he didn't want to see this nominal student rebel in his heart.

In the past few years, it has not been peaceful, and he has always been impressed, and the officials in Fengjing have long been afraid, and the same is true for Fu Liangji, when he mentions the war, he feels a pain in his head.

After settling down from the water, he took a look at the empty space and went to see Ji Nantang in private.

After sitting down, he retreated left and right, only the two of them remained, Fu Liangji pondered for a while, and said: "Nantang, in fact, the old man came this time, and there is a private matter, I want to ask you what you mean." ”

Ji Nantang felt a trace of strangeness in his heart, he thought that his mentor was trying to persuade him to accept the will of the imperial court, hand over the military power as soon as possible, and become a loyal minister who will leave his name in history.

Personal? What does it mean?

I heard Fu Liangji smile and said: "Nantang, if you call the old man 'teacher', I will be cheeky and agree, in fact, in the art of war, the old man has not taught you a word, on the contrary, when it comes to the ability to strategize and win thousands of miles, you are far above me, and everyone in the world knows." If it is said that there is a talent in the world that can produce one in a thousand years, then it is Nantang you. ”

Ji Nantang hurriedly stood up respectfully: "The teacher praises it." The teacher supports the students all the way and takes care of them a lot, without the teacher, there will be no Nantang today. ”

Fu Liangji nodded slightly: "This is not bad, but you are also smart, and you quickly understood the truth that it is extremely easy to break, although you don't want to go with the flow, you can finally get by in terms of sophistication." Nantang, that day, you were not as weak as the crown and emerged in Fengjing, I was very optimistic about you, and I also had the idea of being a son-in-law with you, but unfortunately you had a marriage contract at that time, and Yu'er did not have this blessing. ”

Fu Liangji said emotionally. I pressed the corner of my eye with the cuff.

Ji Nantang sighed: "No, it's the student Fubo......"

Fu Liangji's words reminded him of his wife who died early and the children he had never seen before, if it weren't for his perennial campaigns. If I don't even have time to go home, my wife won't be scared all day long, and most of the time there will be no accidents.

After so many years, when he thought of this, he felt guilty, and he didn't want to drag another woman down.

At this time, he almost guessed what Fu Liangji was going to say next.

Sure enough, Fu Liangji chatted for a while, and it felt almost the same. Turning to the topic: "For so many years, you have been leading troops to fight outside, and now it is almost time to settle down." Think about marrying a wife and having children, you have made such a great contribution, you must make future generations shine. ”

Ji Nantang hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to reply to Fu Liangji. It seems that the teacher is here. In addition to being a lobbyist, he also serves as a matchmaker.

Fu Liangji squeezed his eyes: "Before I came this time, the threshold of the house was about to be broken, and they were all figures with heads and faces in Beijing, and they were lined up to marry you." I asked your wife to inquire, and it is really good to have a few daughters. ”

Ji Nantang smiled bitterly, things will never be as simple as the teacher said.

"Teacher, the world is undecided. I don't intend to do that right now. ”

"Nonsense, if you don't eat or sleep in a war? Look at the generals under your command. Which one is not a lot of wives and children. ”

Fu Liangji touched his beard, and his eyes flashed: "Your wife and I helped you choose one, which is not only the right person, but also gentle and sensible, the most important thing is that your future old Taishan is very optimistic about you, and the concubine is a continuation, and people are not only willing, but also take the initiative to distribute a large amount of dowry." ”

Ji Nantang was a little helpless, and he couldn't help but ask: "I don't know which one the teacher is talking about?" ”

Fu Liangji said proudly: "It's the little girl of the Qingxiang Marquis." Although Qingxianghou is not very good at fighting, he has a good family education, this little daughter is seventeen years old, and I heard that she is very knowledgeable. The most important thing is the concubine. ”

Ji Nantang couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Who is Zhao Baoheng, the Marquis of Qingxiang? Fu Liangji said that he couldn't fight, that's true, in the first month of last year, Zhao Baoheng led 50,000 Beijing soldiers to meet the Qinwang army in Xingcheng, Yongchang, and when the troops were obviously superior, they were killed by Zhong Tianzheng and defeated the whole line, and even lost Yongchang.

But after Zhao Baoheng fled back to Fengjing, nothing happened, no one pursued him, and even the military power in his hands was not taken back.

Just because this one has a special identity, he is Yang Haoyu's father-in-law.

Now that Yang Haoyu's son is on the throne, Princess Xiao has become the queen mother, and Zhao Baoheng's position is more stable.

Ji Nantang understood why Fu Liangji emphasized his daughter-in-law, that is to say, the teacher helped him to pull the strings, but it was actually Empress Dowager Zhao's sister-in-law, a mother's belly.

Qingxianghou intends to marry, it can only be Yang Haoyu's meaning, which is much more sincere than Yang Haojian's hint that the widowed fourth princess will marry him.

Fu Liangji whispered: "How is it?" This is not only a wife, but also a gold medal for avoiding death. ”

The teacher was kind, but Ji Nantang didn't want to refuse, and tactfully expressed his attitude: "I heard that the relationship between the regent's family and Tan Lao Guoshi and the Empress Dowager is very tense. ”

Fu Liangji waved his hand: "This is not a lice on the bald man's head, is it clearly ......" Speaking of this, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and understood the meaning of Ji Nantang's words.

He didn't want to go to Beijing and be a gunman for Yang Haoyu.

Oops, what can I do?

In fact, if you want him to say, no matter which dynasty or generation, there will be no harmony in the court, always noisy and noisy, and there are constant small actions in private. As long as the balance is maintained, it will not evolve into a clear knife and a clear shooting of officials to force the palace.

At present, compared with Tan Mengzhou, Yang Haoyu is obviously in a weak position, so he came up with this idea and sought an alliance with Ji Nantang.

None of this is a big deal.

But Ji Nantang obviously doesn't want to participate, it's just that, he can still say good things about family affairs, such things related to the life of the family, it's better not to be reluctant.

Fu Liangji nodded at him, and said in a tone of hatred that iron is not steel: "You, if you really want to be tied to Li Chengyun so much, Yanguo Gong has a granddaughter, and I heard that she also studied women's school in Xuanyin Pavilion, you might as well consider it?" ”

Ji Nantang was speechless.

Fu Liangji is obsessed with helping him pull the red line, but he really doesn't want to climb these young ladies of powerful families.

He is not a hairy boy when he first entered Beijing, how can he not know the intertwined relationship between the big families, and besides, he does not need to rely on nepotism to gain a foothold, even if the other party is Li Chengyun's wife.

However, Fu Liangji's words reminded him that today this is Fu Liangji talking to him about this, and if he wants to replace Li Chengyun to mention it, how should he refuse?

I didn't expect that at my age, I suddenly became a sought-after commodity.

It seems that I need to go and talk to my mother, and ask her to find a girl with a clean family background in the nearby states, and quickly settle down, so that everyone can use this to beat him.

Fu Liang Jiyue didn't do it, and he didn't insist anymore, and said with a smile: "Are you the only one who is being remembered now, there is still one more person from the water now, it is really a family of women who ask for it, but it is useless for me to tell you, I have to ask Grandpa Guo to call the shots." ”

Ji Nantang was stunned, and subconsciously thought of Gu Wensheng.

A woman can touch the hearts of those nobles in Beijing, and she doesn't think about it as a second person except Wen Sheng.

As a great musician, Wen Sheng is too young, but as an unmarried girl, she is much overage.

Although Ji Nantang couldn't say how old Wen Sheng was, he heard that she was a few years old, who asked to marry Wen Sheng, should he be like himself, and wanted to marry back to be a continuation, right?

Ji Nantang introduced Wen Sheng as a confidant, although he himself was not interested in Wen Sheng, but when he thought that there might be a widower and Fu Liangji to be a matchmaker, he felt a little uncomfortable.

"Who the hell is it? Have I ever known each other? ”

Unexpectedly, Fu Liangji didn't know if it was out of revenge, and he actually sold Guanzi.

"I will not tell you, lest you have many truths. This matter can only be discussed with the grandfather of the country. ”

But in fact, there is no difference between telling Li Chengyun and telling Ji Nantang.

However, within two days, Ji Nantang learned the truth from Li Chengyun.

Fengjing's interest in Wen Sheng was not someone else, but Tan Lao Guoshi.

Tan Mengzhou asked Fu Liangji to bring a sentence, that day his fifth grandson Tan Yaohua wanted to ask to marry Wen Sheng, and he agreed to be a parent, but unfortunately there was no follow-up later, and now Yaohua is no longer there, but there are still several descendants of the Tan family who have not married a wife, just pick Wen Sheng, you can take any fancy one.

The Tan family is willing to take the complete Miaoyin Eight Methods as a dowry.

When the time comes, wouldn't it be nice for the musicians to do their best, learn from each other, and promote each other?

Ji Nantang was startled when he heard this, and said, "What's wrong with Old Master Tan, you can't hold your breath so much." ”

Li Chengyun also said: "Yes, I didn't expect him to put his posture so low." If this news spreads, I am afraid that the world will be shaken. ”

They are not musicians, and they don't know the value and charm of "Xi Sound Spectrum", so they find it incredible.

"How many people in the Tan family are eligible?"

"Regardless of the age difference, there are always six or seven people."

Ji Nantang couldn't help but be speechless, and Li Chengyun sighed: "We are worried that this matter is useless, and we won't be able to hide it from her sooner or later." Let's call her over and ask. (To be continued.) )
