Pu Shougeng prepared a heavy gift and sent it to the Dadu Governor's Mansion, hearing that the Dadu Governor was a good woman, he wanted to send some beautiful women over, but he was afraid that the legendary lady in power would be unhappy, so he finally dispelled this idea. It took a good look at the porter just now to be able to sit in the gatehouse of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and wait for the communication. In fact, this is all redundant, Cheng Yue ordered Pu Shougeng to come and spread it at any time.

Pu Shougeng sat on a fan while lamenting the strictness of the Dadu Governor's army. The weather was so hot, and the guards at the gate of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion were still standing straight, motionless, letting the beads of sweat on their faces roll down, and they didn't wipe it. He was wise enough to order all his ships not to provoke the Governor's ships before that, and now he could sit here. The Metropolitan Governor has great ambitions to train such a strong army, and it seems that he thought that the Empress Dowager had come to this trip under the pretext of celebrating her birthday, and it would be too late.

A servant woman came over to invite Pu Shougeng in, Pu Shougeng hurriedly got up and followed the servant, and came to the door of the study without squinting all the way. The servant woman retreated, and Pu Shougeng saw that Cheng Yue did not greet him at the door, so he didn't dare to be angry, but only beat the drum in his heart. He is in charge of a province and is considered a high-ranking official in the court, but Cheng Yue didn't take him seriously at all, and let him knock on the door like an ordinary person, is he dissatisfied with him? Is it because he didn't come to see him earlier?

While thinking about the words, Pu Shougeng knocked lightly on the door and said respectfully: "Xiaguan Pu Shougeng, come to meet the Metropolitan Governor." ”

Cheng Yue replied, "Come in." "The voice is casual.

Pu Shougeng became more and more respectful, opened the door and bowed and walked in. Turn around the screen and look up slightly. Then I saw two beautiful women of about thirty years old standing beside a young man who looked like he was twenty years old.

Both women were exceedingly beautiful. I can see that the figure is also very good. Mrs. Song is beautiful and delicate. The pear vortex looms on the face, adding to the beauty. Mrs. Luo was still flirting with Cheng Yue just now, and the spring tide on her face had not faded, revealing an irresistible charm. caused Bo Shougeng to feel anxious for a while, and his whole body was hot. Knowing that these two beautiful women must be the people in the house of the Grand Duke, and I don't know where the Grand Governor got such stunners, it is really eye-catching.

Although Pu Shougeng is a high-ranking official, the two ladies are used to seeing high-ranking officials and dignitaries who are much higher than him. only blessed him slightly, and didn't take him seriously. This kind of indifferent stimulation of the accustomed big people made Pu Shougeng suddenly have a strong desire to possess, and he didn't even feel a little shorter in breath, and made up his mind that after a while, he would definitely take these two beautiful women away at any cost.

The reason why Pu Shougeng was still able to control himself was, of course, because of the young man who was sitting there and didn't move when he saw him coming. The young man's eyes seemed to be able to see through him at a glance, making Pu Shougeng feel uneasy before he even started talking to him.

Pu Shougeng's official position in the court is as big as Cheng Yue, and they are all second-grade, but he knows that now is not the time to put on the size of his official position. bowed deeply, and said with a smile on his face: "Xiaguan Pu Shougeng." I have heard the name of the Metropolitan Governor for a long time, and I took the opportunity to visit the Metropolitan Governor on the birthday of the Empress Dowager. The sycophants were so loud that the two ladies couldn't help but laugh.

Pu Shougeng saw that the two ladies smiled and became even more charming, his eyes straightened, and he immediately looked away. Although there are many beautiful women in his family, there are really no beautiful women of this age, and a few older ones are far less beautiful than the two ladies, and they rarely can appreciate this kind of style. Why does the Metropolitan Governor like a thirty-year-old woman when he is not very old next year?

Cheng Yue looked at Pu Shougeng, and sure enough, he had a standard Arab appearance, with a calm demeanor and a calm attitude. Pu Shou Geng has been in power for a long time, his momentum is different from ordinary people, and his vision is also accurate, and he sees that Cheng Yue is about to succeed, so he will take refuge immediately.

Cheng Yue nodded and said, "Lord Pu is polite, I have long admired Lord Pu's name." Come, please take a seat, I have something I want to talk to Pu about something. ”

Pu Shougeng took a step back, found a chair and sat down, and Mrs. Song came over to make him a cup of tea. Pu Shougeng looked at Mrs. Song's wrists, and the faint fragrance on Mrs. Song's body made him even more intoxicated.

Cheng Yue saw that he had fallen in love with his confinement, and couldn't help but laugh, my Cheng Yue's woman is also something you can think of?

Cheng Yue said: "I guess Master Pu has something to say to me, right?" You are a guest from afar, you may as well speak directly if you have something to say, and I will also be blunt with Master Pu. ”

Pu Shougeng patted his thigh, laughed, and said: "The governor of Dadu is really happy, we Nanfan people have no roots in the court, and every time we come to Lin'an, we are trembling, for fear of offending a nobleman, and we speak carefully." Although the lower officials saw the Metropolitan Governor for the first time, they were familiar with the Metropolitan Governor at first sight, and they wanted to be closer to the Metropolitan Governor in their hearts. ”

Cheng Yue said lightly: "You remember, others can call you Nanfan, but you can't call yourself Nanfan." I will never despise a person because of his origin or race, and I will not allow anyone to despise him at will. I am no different from you, I was born to my parents and raised with hard work. You claim that Nanfan has not only humiliated yourself, but also your parents. If you are an unfilial person, there is no place for such a person in my house, and you don't have to come again in the future. ”

Pu Shougeng heard Cheng Yue say this as if he was struck by lightning, his lips trembled all the time, but he couldn't speak. Although he is a prince, he has always been called Nanfan by others, it's not that he doesn't want to fight back, but he knows that it is useless to fight back, and everyone will still look down on him in their hearts. This kind of grievance has been with him since birth, and it has become a habit, even he himself admits it, and sometimes he feels very proud. What happened to the Nanfan people? is still a high-ranking official of the Great Song Dynasty. But being scolded by Cheng Yue like this, not only did he not feel angry, but a burst of sadness flooded his heart, his eyes and nose were sour, and he couldn't help but shed tears.

Without caring about wiping, Pu Shougeng stood up and gave Cheng Yue a deep salute, choked up and said: "The lower officials thank the Dadu Governor for his teachings, and he doesn't dare to be an unfilial person anymore, and he will never call himself a fan again." Xia Guan is a native of the Great Song Dynasty, no matter what others say. ”

Cheng Yue leaned back and said, "Sit down, I'm straightforward, don't be weird." ”

Pu Shougeng sat down respectfully, wiped away his tears, took a sip of tea, and became more and more grateful to Cheng in his heart.

Cheng Yue said: "Say, I guess you have three things you want to discuss with me, don't you?" I'm listening. ”

Pu Shougeng sorted out his mood, and no longer spoke falsely like just now, and said earnestly: "The governor of the capital is like a god, and the officials do have three things that they want to ask the governor of the capital." The lower officials heard that the governor of Dadu was building ships in Jiangyin, so he also invited a large number of shipwrights from Quanzhou. It is said that the ships built by the Metropolitan Governor were strong, fast, and not capsized, and when loaded with weapons, they were a sharp weapon for dominating the seas. The subordinate officials are not talented, and they also have nearly 6,000 sea ships under their command, and they are willing to serve the governor. ”

Cheng Yue's face turned cold and said, "Don't you think about it when you speak?" ”

Pu Shougeng was stunned, which of his words was wrong? Why is the Metropolitan so angry??

Cheng Yue snorted coldly and said, "Is Quanzhou yours?" What do you call me Quanzhou? I've just started building ships, and you take 6,000 ships to press me, do you think I'll be afraid? ”

Pu Shougeng hurriedly said: "The lower officials never dare, the lower officials have been officials in Quanzhou for a long time, and they are used to saying this, and most of the officials in various places are like this, and they have no other intentions." As for the ships of the lower officials, the lower officials understood very well, and most of the governors didn't pay attention to them at all, whether it was 6,000 ships or 60,000 ships, it was just a number, and the lower officials had no intention of coercion. He actually subconsciously had this intention, but when he was scolded by Cheng Yue, he immediately woke up.

Cheng Yue said "um" and said: "I might as well tell you that I am very useful in shipbuilding, and I can't look down on your small business for the time being." If you want to work for me, you have to listen to me in the future, and your business will be affected, you have to think clearly. ”

Pu Shougeng heard that Cheng Yue was asking him to make a statement, and immediately said: "When the official came, he had already made up his mind, and in the future, only the orders of the governor would follow." As long as the governor needs it, even if he asks the lower officials to donate all the family property, the lower officials will not hesitate to do so. ”

Cheng Yue stood up, and Pu Shougeng also hurriedly stood up. Cheng Yue walked up to Pu Shougeng, looked at him with appreciation, and said with a smile: "No wonder you can revive the Pu family, your vision is really accurate, you can see a leaf and know the autumn." That's right, if you don't come to me now, two years later, it will be the time when your Pu family will be destroyed! ”

Pu Shougeng was frightened, knelt on the ground with a "poof", and kowtowed again and again: "Dadu Governor, although the lower officials are late to meet him, he has never wanted to be unfavorable to Dadudu, why did Dadu Governor say this?" ”

The two ladies were also taken aback by Cheng Yue's plan, but they both trusted Cheng Yue very much, knew that he must be justified in doing things, and didn't care about Pu Shougeng's life or death.

Cheng Yue said: "Do you know, how many times have you escaped?" If you dare to touch my ship, or if you dare to obstruct me from recruiting boatmen from Quanzhou, you are already a dead man by now. I build ships to rule the seas, and I will never allow any sea power to disobey me, so I say you see the opportunity quickly, otherwise, in two years, I will be in the army, what do you want you to do? ”

Pu Shougeng was so frightened that he was sweating coldly and trembling all over. Before he came, he intuitively felt that if he didn't come, it would be dangerous, but he didn't expect it to be so dangerous. He is not afraid of other people in this world, even Kublai Khan can't kill him, the Mongols don't have a navy, he sails out to sea at most, looking for land to avoid trouble. But Cheng Yue is different, although the power he has at sea is far inferior to him now, he will definitely be able to destroy him at any time within a few years, and he can't run. At first, after several hesitations, he did not stop the boatmen of Quanzhou from going to Jiangyin, nor did he allow anyone to intercept the ships between the Dadu Governor and the Ryukyus. At that time, the people of the Pu family blamed him for this, saying that he was a problem for raising tigers. Now it seems that he is so wise, in his complete ignorance, he has saved the lives of the Pu family several times, what a fluke! (To be continued......)
