Chapter 221: Showing off your might
Qin Tian's paperwork was very fast. Early the next morning, the officials who had heads and faces in the imperial court all received a notice from Tang An to receive the envoy of the Mu Fairy. At the same time, on the outer wall of the palace city, the imperial list has also been posted.
For Tang An's various deeds, the common people have long been familiar with them. But people couldn't imagine that this magical little scholar was so powerful, he became an official in a short time, and he was also a big official who could contact the heirs of the Great Snow Mountain. It's like a chicken that has been a local chicken the day before, and suddenly becomes a phoenix the next day.
To the toiling masses, the Great Snow Mountain is like a fairy. Think about being able to see the demeanor of the world's first master, and the people are dancing excitedly. In less than half a day, the news of Mu Rong's entry into the WTO was like a hurricane, sweeping every corner of the capital.
Of course, some people are happy to hear such news, and naturally some people will be sad. Originally, those guys who deceived the emperor when they were young and relied on the old and sold the old were like ants on a hot pot at this time.
They know the cost of being on the wrong side. History has taught everyone that the will of the people is the will of God. And the Great Snow Mountain is the spiritual pillar of the common people! They are proud of the words "the first in the world", so their admiration for the Great Snow Mountain is by no means inferior to the imperial court, which collects harsh taxes all day long.
If you have the full support of the Great Snow Mountain, it is equivalent to pulling the people to your side. Just imagine, in Master Mu's eyes, how could the true son of heaven he judged be so bad?
And at that time, the majesty of imperial power will override everything. With Qin Tian's forbearance temperament, it's not that he doesn't want to attack those guys who take advantage of his fledgling fortunes, but he has too many scruples and too weak strength. But no one doubted that once he grew up, it would be the time when his own clan would be destroyed.
These people's eyes were unnaturally focused on Xiangguofu.
Gui is the first person under the current imperial power, and the status and connections of the Oriental Expedition are already huge enough to threaten Qin Tian. It stands to reason that he should have been unable to sit still at this time, but everyone was surprised to find that this old fox was as safe as Mount Tai, as if this matter had nothing to do with him at all.
After the initial suspicions, complaints, and speculations, some discerning people gradually understood the practice of traveling far away from the East.
It's not that he doesn't want to move, it's that he can't move.
As soon as he moved, he directly tore his face with Qin Tian. If you become a king or lose, you will have the Tang Dynasty if you win, and you will have nothing if you lose.
As a two-generation veteran, Dongfang Xiangguo may not have a rebellious heart. Otherwise, when the emperor dies, isn't it the best time for him to make a move?
But he didn't do that, but kept to himself and became a minister. Qin Tian was young, and almost all the major affairs of the court fell into his hands, which made his power expand day by day. But even so, he still conscientiously assisted the Jiangshan Sheji, and did not complain.
Despite this, the heroes of the lord will always make the emperor suspicious. Wasn't he afraid that Qin Tian would raise a butcher's knife against him? Don't be afraid that you will end up dead without a body?
No one can see it, so no one dares to act rashly. Most people are waiting patiently, waiting for the Far East to make a move. Waiting day by day, disappointment day by day, more people finally couldn't suppress the fear in their hearts and began to run around. Ningguo Mansion, Zhenyuan General's Mansion, Shangshu Mansion... Many important ministers seemed to have made an appointment, and they had a series of secret meetings in the past few days. As for the content of the conversation, no one knows.
The capital has bid farewell to the seemingly peaceful days and has begun to surge.
As the protagonist, Tang An did not feel the uneasiness of the high-level in the capital, but had the pleasure of turning over the serf and singing.
When he was in the extreme cold, he never imagined that he would be able to be so beautiful one day. Whether it is the people of Cheng Mansion or the girl of Feixue Yuelan Pavilion, the neighbors or the aunts who sell vegetables in the market, they all stretched out their thumbs and praised "really promising" when they saw themselves. Although Tang An tried his best to show a modest appearance, he couldn't hide his smile, but he betrayed the pride in this guy's heart.
Lao Tzu is an official!
No official products? What's the use of asking for some false names! It's not high? It's easier to do!
When it came to the issue of money, Tang An immediately started the idea of Honglu Temple. According to the emperor, to be decent and magnificent, and to earn enough face for the royal family, you can't do it without money. Where can I find the silver? Except for Honglu Temple, Tang An had nowhere to go at all.
Honglu Temple is not a clear water yamen, involving the etiquette of foreign guests, no department in the court dares to slack off, add oil and vinegar to do a list of expenses, basically the silver can be properly handed. Saying that Honglu Temple has no money is like saying that the young lady of the Qinglou does not sell her body, no one believes it at all.
The emperor's documents have long been spread, and everyone in Honglu Temple knows that the person in charge this time is a guy named Tang An, and they are just foils.
Sweeping away the lightness of the previous days, everyone in the compound kept up with the clockwork, busy without interruption. There are many etiquettes for receiving the heirs of the Great Snow Mountain, and there are not a few things that need to be prepared, not to mention, Lord Chen of the Ministry of Rites was scolded for the dereliction of duty of the Honglu Temple last time, and he was furious after coming back. So for this reception, no one dared to slack off.
Wang Mingyou and Shao Yue's attitude towards Tang An has changed 180 degrees, one enthusiastically pulled Tang An to ask for warmth, and the other hurriedly served fruit tea, and they were all hands-on.
Thinking about a four-grade master flattering himself like a pug, Tang An only felt high-spirited. After enjoying the praise of the two for half a day, Tang An lightly expressed his intention: money, great need!
It is Shao Yue who is in charge of the finances of Honglu Temple. A few days ago, I inadvertently offended Tang An, and this guy has been panicking. Seeing that he had the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, Shao Yue immediately patted his chest and promised: How much you want, just open your mouth!
Speaking from the heart, Tang An never thought of using this money to serve the fairy, with his poor and scared temperament, even if he passed by a gust of wind, he had to grab a handful and put it in his pocket, so that the fat and oily beauty would naturally not let go.
Fingers crossed and silently calculated in his heart: Lan Begonia has been eye-to-eye with him recently, and he is a strong contender for his future wife, and gifts must be indispensable.
Kiss your girlfriend... It's also a threat to the position of the main wife.,You have to buy it.。
As for the eldest lady... Although the temper stinks, it's one.
Master Cheng and the eldest young master, this is naturally not a problem. Feng Zhilan, this cheap sister... In the future, if you go to Feixue Yuelan Pavilion to steal incense and jade, I am afraid that she will inevitably pass this level, and she must be bribed in place. As for Wang Daxian... This old guy secretly protects himself and deals with it thoroughly, count him in. There are also the descendants of Cheng Mansion and the beautiful sisters of Feixue Yue Lan Pavilion...
After calculating it, Tang An was stunned. Forget it, no matter what! Tang An shook his head and directly stretched out his five fingers.
"Fifty taels? No problem! Shao Yue said with a smile, secretly thinking that it was really a dirt bun who had never seen the world, and he was afraid of flashing his tongue when he shouted more.
"It's five hundred taels!" Tang An corrected.
"Five... Five hundred taels? Shao Yue opened her mouth wide, and finally knew that she had underestimated this Lord Tang.
Five hundred taels, why don't you grab it! With such a large amount, he didn't dare to accept it with his status, so he had to turn his head to look at Wang Mingyou. Wang Ming turned his head to look at the scenery with a smile, and made it clear that he would not participate.
"Yes, although it is a little less, it is enough to spend so-so." Tang An said, seeing Shao Yue rubbing his hands and laughing, but he didn't mean to get up to take the money, he couldn't help but slap the table and said, "What, I'm afraid that I will trick you!" ”
"This... Lord Tang, five hundred taels of silver, will it be too much? Shao Yue said with a smile.
"Many? I'll settle the account for you: Daxue Mountain is short of materials, and Fairy Mu can't afford to come to Datang, shouldn't she be given more nutrition? Do you know how much it costs to go out for a meal of roast chicken now? Tang An stretched out his fingers one by one to Shao Yue and counted them carefully, "The top of the mountain is so cold, how can you keep away the cold without a few thick clothes?" It's very expensive to make a dress in Tianshangzhai! If I don't buy ten or twenty pieces, I will be a shame for the emperor and his old man! Also, Mu Xianzi lives a light life, and she must not have used any rouge gouache. The rouge gouache of Jiangnan's 'Ying Makeup Red' and 'Yu Shuzhai', Lord Shao must have bought it for a few concubines, so he naturally knows the price. ”
Shao Yue was speechless, and could only wipe the cold sweat on his head.
"Food, clothing, play, how much does it cost! I'm easy, I'm easy! Tang An rolled his eyes, hated iron and steel, and said: "Xiao Shao, you are not at home, you don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive." If you want five hundred taels, it's really cheap for you! But don't get too complacent, I'll come back to you if it's not enough. ”
"Also... Still coming? Shao Yue's head was already sweating.
"What, don't you give it?" Tang An asked with a glare. Seeing Shao Yue's embarrassed face, he got up and left with a second word of "hum", and muttered to himself: "I just said that I can't do this errand, your old man has to force me!" Oh, I haven't seen anyone yet, so I'm blocked horizontally, and I can't live this day! Your old man should hire another meritocracy! ”
Wang Mingyou and Shao Yue were shocked when they heard this. The "old man" in the mouth of Lord Tang is naturally the emperor. If you let the emperor know that you have delayed a major event with money and goods, it is not only a problem of black yarn on your head, but also a loss of your life.
"Lord Tang, stay and stay!"
Wang Mingyou and Shao Yue hurriedly stopped Tang An for a good time to persuade him, and Shao Yue immediately paid the silver. Although five hundred taels of silver is not a small amount, it is not so important compared to a small life.
Before leaving, Tang An finally smiled. Holding a stack of silver tickets, he trembled, and said earnestly: "Xiao Shao, money is something outside the body, don't take money too seriously." What is money? Money is a bastard! As long as we entertain Fairy Mu and make the emperor happy, it will be the greatest honor for us to be courtiers. ”
Seeing Shao Yue nodding like a chicken pecking rice, Tang Anxin sneered, let you, bastard, scold Lao Tzu at the beginning!
