Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Dowry

In the courtyard of the Fang family, Fang Zheng dragged the silver gun back to his house.

The guards were whispering.

The Fang family is thrifty, although it is incorruptible, but the prestige of the ministers of the second grade at least will attract many upright people to come to the Fang family as guards, and they don't ask for much moonsilver.

In the Fang family's study, Fang Zheng knew very well that his father would read the affairs of the children of the poor families here every night, and every day his father would sort out the same and urgent events and report them to the imperial court, every year.

This is another title for Fang Gang as the Emperor's Eye.

"Father!"

Fang Zheng had already put the silver gun outside the door, and when he entered the door, he saluted, his father had not spoken the word for several years, and since the Cao family divorced, he had not taken the initiative to say a word to his father.

Even if it was the guard Long Zaiyuan, he had just passed through the subordinates and informed him.

Fang Gang's hand with pen and ink was halfway outlined, stopped, and his whole body stagnated.

Then he raised his head, and looked at Fang Zheng with some strangeness in his eyes, how long had it been since their father and son had spoken.

Fang Gang was also unfamiliar and asked, "When?" ”

Fang Zheng's words came to his lips, but he couldn't say them for a while.

Under the father and son looking at each other like this, Fang Gang finally broke the silence:

"For a few years, you haven't spoken to your father, and you blame your father?"

Fang Gang's words were very calm, but Fang Zheng began to breathe rapidly, and his eyes began to turn red when he looked at Fang Gang.

"Blame! Blame the father for not saying a word of justice for the child when the Cao family withdrew from the marriage! Blame yesterday's talented man for facing the saint, the ten princes bombarded the child from power, and the father also took a look! Blame! It's strange that the child works so hard, but he never gets a word of approval in front of his father! Blame too! Blame the father for many years, he didn't blame the child! ”

Fang Zheng said excitedly, his hands were already clenched into fists, and his body tilted and trembled unconsciously.

Fang Gang had already seen tears in Fang Zheng's eyes, but he said very calmly:

"When?"

Fang Zhengyi wiped his tears, knowing that in front of his father, he could only distinguish between public and private, and there was no trace of tears in his eyes:

"The child wants to recruit the Third Forbidden Army! The child needs help! ”

Fang Zheng's words no longer had the excitement they had at the beginning.

Fang Gang said:

"Cold, from the text, not from the martial arts!"

"If the child can't recruit 3,000 troops tomorrow, the child will accompany the emperor to the guillotine!"

After saying this, Fang Zheng knelt on the ground: "Father! Take care! ”

He knew that his father had never been selfless!

After saying that, he immediately walked out of the door, and when he left, he did not bring a silver gun with him.

Fang Gang shook his head, this silver gun was handed over to Fang Zheng after the Cao family quit the marriage, and told him four words: "Start from scratch"! But now that Fang Zheng has left this silver spear, it can be seen that his intention to go has been decided!

"Since I am the head of the cold sect in the world, I can't know that it is a dead end, and let the descendants of the poor family go to the third forbidden army!"

After speaking, Fang Gang continued to put down his pen.

......

After Fang Zheng and Fang Gang finished talking, a slave by the door and window whispered:

"Tell the Cao family that Lord Fang didn't let the Hanmen help Fangzheng!"

"Yes!"

......

Fang Zheng withdrew from the Fang Mansion, and the seven people recruited yesterday were waiting.

"You are all friends from the Hanmen that I met early in the morning, this time my father is unwilling to let the Hanmen intervene, and I also know that when I go to the Beijing Pass, the Third Forbidden Army is indeed nine deaths! If you don't want to take your life in vain, I won't force it! ”

Founder arched his hand, which means goodbye!

"General! I'm waiting here, I'm willing to follow the general! ”

Fang Zheng looked at the seven people hesitantly.

"No matter how highly educated we and other literati are, under the control of big wins, how can we get into the court, even if we are lucky enough to get into the court, we will inevitably be excluded because we have no party system!"

"So when I heard the general's words, why don't I give up Wu Congwen!"

"Just as the general said! Whether it is the imperial court or the military camp, it is the most important thing for us literati to do so that the people can have food and clothing! ”

"That's right! We also want to be like Han Shuai! ”

These seven people all looked at him as resolutely, and what he told them was all told to him by the emperor, it turned out that he was not the only one who thought that the emperor was right!

"Good!"

Fang Zheng turned around and led seven people towards the yamen where the Third Army was recruiting, even at the last moment, he would not give up!

.....

Early morning!

The sun is shining!

Long Zaiyuan found that Ying Xingyao still got up very early, and she took the sachet of Jungui grass seeds in her hand and looked at it, and finally hung it on the head of the bed, and went to the court.

Long Zaiyuan changed into civilian clothes and walked out refreshed, and the palace maid would not help him wash, knowing that he was used to running in the morning.

And after Concubine Cao's confession yesterday, those palace maids and eunuchs couldn't help but look at him more, and they all felt that this emperor seemed to be more different than before.

"Your Majesty, a letter from the northwest!"

Ji Shuangshuang saw Long Zaiyuan coming out, so he approached and whispered.

"Read!"

Being able to send the news back when the news of the world is not in Beijing, it can be seen that the children of the Northwest must have spent a lot of money to do it, and I am afraid that it will not be the case if it is not a hundred thousand urgent.

Saying 'read', Long Zaiyuan ran again, and Ji Shuangshuang followed.

"Dakin, 600,000 troops are pressing into ......."

As soon as he read about the 600,000 army, Ji Shuangshuang had already stammered, the news was too shocking, there were only 150,000 troops in the northwest all year round, mainly because the imperial court had no way to spend so much military rations, so there were only 150,000 troops in the northwest, but these 150,000 troops were also in addition to the imperial court, and they had to be responsible for their own food and salary, so it was a miracle that the Northwest Army could maintain 150,000 troops.

And this time, Dajin actually led 600,000 troops to force into the northwest! How can the Northwest Army stop!

Yanmen Pass, which is not open for thousands of people, is already in the hands of the Dajin people, and now the northwest is a place where the Northwest is a flat river, how to defend the Northwest Army!

With such an army of 150,000, how can it stop the wealth wolf of the current army of 600,000!

"Northwest, need food! Please let the emperor inform the court of support as soon as possible! ”

Long Zaiyuan frowned, and mentioned in the letter that the one million taels of silver that they brought back had been spent under the condition that the 600,000 army pressed the border, and there was not much money left in the northwest, and now the money shortage and big gold are two-pronged, and the 600,000 army wants to win a big win in one fell swoop.

After Ji Shuangshuang finished reading it, he was already so shocked that his whole body was trembling.

"Why doesn't the emperor report directly to the imperial court?"

That was Dajin's army of 600,000 tigers and wolves, and Ji Shuangshuang was shocked when he thought of the lineup of 600,000 troops.

"Because the children of the Northwest are more willing to believe in me than the imperial court."

Long Zaiyuan still didn't stop running, and running also had the advantage of being able to make his thoughts clearer.

Even though Ji Shuangshuang was nervous, he still accompanied Long Zaiyuan, and the forbidden army behind him also followed ten steps later.

"Then the emperor, should we inform the imperial court and let the imperial court find a way as soon as possible!"

Ji Shuang said.

"The imperial court is now like a person walking on a rope in the sky, and the slightest wind and grass will fall! Can't stand a little toss! What's more, the court has no money! Drag it out for a while, there are more important things in the imperial court! ”

Ji Shuangshuang was even more frightened in his heart, can this be delayed! 600,000 troops are overwhelmed!

Long Zaisin rarely ran for a while and then stopped, he didn't have half a breath, but Ji Shuangshuang was already out of breath and held his knees with his hands, many times he could only accompany the emperor to run a short distance, and the rest, Long Zaiyuan would complete it with the forbidden army.

But today it has stopped, something that has never happened in so many years.

Ji Shuang raised his head panting, and saw that in the courtyard of Mingyue's palace at this time, there was actually a banner hanging on it, and the banner read:

'Your Majesty, I like you!' 'Six big words!

Cao Zizhi had already come over in the banner.

No wonder, Cao Guifei blocked the path that the emperor had to run every day!

"There's a good show to watch!"

At this time, the palace maids who were waiting here early in the morning, or who had cleaned this place in the morning, did not go back to hand in the errand, but watched silently.

Cao Zizhi is also worthy of being a person who pays attention to pomp and circumstance, and at this time, she actually brought in forty or fifty people.

Forty or fifty people came in with boxes of things.

"The concubine doesn't sleep much in the morning, what are you doing in this Mingyue Palace?"

Long Zaiyuan crossed his hands, and his unbeatable little pride made the palace maid's eyes blurry, and the eunuch couldn't wait to grit his teeth:

"Why did Concubine Cao fall in love with him?"

"Lift it up!"

As soon as Cao Zizhi raised her hand lightly, those eunuchs lifted boxes after boxes, which looked quite heavy: "Open!" ”

Cao Guifei ordered, whoever dares to be slow, open it immediately.

"Wow!"

Then there was an exclamation.

It was boxes of silver taels with white flowers.

"Fifty boxes of gold and silver jewelry! Worth 500,000 taels of silver! This is the dowry of the main palace! ”

Cao Zizhi looked at Long Zaiyuan proudly, as arrogant as Long Zaiyuan.

"Concubine Cao even prepared a dowry!"

In the surprised eyes of everyone, Long Zaiyuan's heart moved, his Nanxue Building, the Demon Sect that supported Jiang Muxi, and now the northwest border, including the imperial court, are short of money.

Long Zaiyuan approached step by step, and the more he looked at Cao Guifei, the more cute he felt.

"Take, take!"

He waved his hand and accepted, and those forbidden soldiers, especially Mi Aoji in the shadows, jumped out.

"Delivery Department!"

Qi Aoji knew that the queen was short of money, so she immediately made the decision, where to care about the flirting between the two.

"Your Majesty?"

Cao Zizhi saw that Long Zaiyuan asked people to accept the dowry, but the people also ran away.
