Chapter 145: Persuasion
The jewelry counter of Jinling Department Store is simple and elegant, with a touch of jewelry, which is more magnificent and brilliant than the later generations.
Sitting on the wooden chair in front of the counter, Ye Zhao was holding a gold bracelet and putting it on Jin Feng's pink little hand, Jin Feng's heart was sweet, and her pretty face was slightly red.
The saleswoman in the green shirt opposite looked at this scene enviously, it was the first time she had seen such a noble and eye-catching gentleman and wife. It's really an unimaginable color, there are such characters in this world, and I just think it's blasphemy to look at people more.
In fact, how can the treasures in the palace be calculated? In this era, Ye Zhao can't be too vulgar anyway, especially after attacking the city and breaking the mansion, from the bandit kings, from the northern officials, the gentry who resisted the Pingyuan army, etc., the treasures looted by the admirals of several towns are worth a lot of money, although most of them are filled into the treasury, but the admirals dedicate to Ye Zhao, Ye Zhao can only laugh and accept, promote and make a fortune, his several fierce generals including his subordinate generals have their limited surnames, you are too high, people will not be able to make trouble, some things, you can get by and turn a blind eye, If anything is too serious, it may not lead to good results.
This part of the treasure alone, if you calculate its value, I am afraid that Ye Zhao is already the richest man in the world, of course, the current royal family, it is unfair to compare wealth with the people, and the treasures of the Queen of England are also as vast as the sea.
If you say that the gold bracelet on Jin Feng's little hand is now in the house, no one picks it in the corner, but shopping is different, throughout the ages, how can there be a woman who doesn't like to shop?
"How? Do you like it? Ye Zhao asked Jin Feng.
Jin Feng snorted, touched the gold bracelet on his hand like a baby, and went shopping with his man in a department store, it felt really wonderful, and it was dizzily sweet.
Ye Zhao turned to the female clerk and said, "I want it." ”
The female clerk didn't dare to make eye contact with Ye Zhao, so she went to issue a ticket in a panic, and said, "Yes, sir, a Feifeng gold bracelet, twenty silver dollars, you can also use paper money, two hundred yuan." ”
"Flying Phoenix Gold Bracelet? This is not good, the golden phoenix, don't you fly? Ye Zhao frowned slightly.
Jin Feng was stunned, hurriedly took off the bracelet, and said, "Master, then I don't want it." "I hated and glanced at the female clerk, and said in my heart that your department store has ruined my interest, and I will look back at how I can fix you.
Ye Zhao smiled and patted her little hand, and said, "I haven't finished my words yet, the master will give you a set of circles with his own hands, where else can you fly?" ”
Jin Feng couldn't cry or laugh, knowing that he was playing tricks on himself again, he stomped on his lotus feet and said coquettishly: "Master-!" ”
The little stunner was charming and delicate, Ye Zhao felt a crisp in his heart, smiled and said to the little maid Nunu next to him, "Go to the checkout." "When I went out shopping, in addition to Ren Qian and a few other guards, I also brought a little maid to serve.
I took another turn in the department store, and when I came out, I was red and westward, and there was a circle of people around the steps of the department store, and a little girl was immature and shouted: "War donations, contribute to the Pingyuan Army, there is not much silver, dedicate our thoughts." ”
In the prosperous area of Jinling, there are such donation boxes, and there are usually flowers and other feedback.
Ye Zhao made a look, and a guard walked over, stuffed a few banknotes in the donation box, and when he came back, he had an extra donation ticket in his hand, and a large donation could be offset against a part of the tax in proportion, and the guard had just donated five hundred yuan, of which one hundred yuan could be deducted from taxes.
The guards had already prepared the carriage and led it over, and at this time, at the corner of the long street in front, a long gray military uniform walked with neat steps, and the loud singing voice: "Majestic, high-spirited, across the Yangtze River ......"
Some guards were about to stop them, Ye Zhao waved his hand and said, "Let them pass first." ”
There is a troop transport station at the Xiaguan Wharf in Jinling, and there are often reservists with simple training from the Wharf to the front line to replenish the strength of the various corps in Jiangbei.
In fact, the war between the north and the south together, the inevitable expansion of the corps in Jiangbei, the surrender of troops, the militia, and the people who can't eat are all sources of soldiers, especially the Su Hongniang Department, which has firmly established a foothold in central and northern Jiangsu, has been properly publicized, and the expansion is extremely rapid, and the number of people is more and more.
Zheng Zewu also expanded vigorously in Anhui, and the people who were deeply oppressed by Miao Peilin were extremely enthusiastic about joining the army; Zhao Sanbao's Western Expeditionary Corps also incorporated various armed forces, and in just a few months, there were more than 30,000 military horses.
Of course, with the expansion of the number of people, the equipment is uneven, and with the level of industrial production in the south, it is impossible to continuously send Guangzhou to the front line, and the supply of ammunition is even tighter. Fortunately, the Jinling Machinery Bureau opened a new production line, and several arsenals rushed to work at night to deliver firepower to the front line.
The Ministry of Divine Protection and the Ministry of Harwich are more difficult, Zeng Guofan has a prestige in Hubei, and the Jing people are deeply rooted in the south as thieves, often the Pingyuan army has not arrived, and the people have already run away, and now the two departments have also arrested the strong men, but those who are caught, after a period of time, they will naturally be willing to serve the Southern Dynasty.
When the Pingyuan army column singing the loud military song passed neatly and majestically under the steps of the department store, the people on both sides applauded, and the young people looked at them with envy, hoping to join in it, and fly with youth in blood and fire.
While Ye Zhao was silently watching these lovely young men under his subordinates, a guard came close and said softly, "Master, Ihaqi has come to the mansion to kowtow to you." ”
Although Ye Zhao and Jin Feng seemed to have only a few guards around them, there were countless plainclothes mixed in the crowd, and the whereabouts of the regent were constantly reported to the palace guards, and the huge security mechanism of the palace was running at full strength, Ye Zhao was strolling leisurely, but thousands of people were in a high degree of tension.
This is also the reason why Ye Zhao is getting less and less on the street, every time he goes to the street, the minister of Yulinwei, Bakshi, the head of the palace guard, Liu Zhen, the deputy head of the palace, Wu Erden, Lei Chong, etc., have to toss off a layer of skin, thinking about following his master, he is afraid that he will live a few years less.
Now that the Minister of Communications, Ihachi, has come to see the regent, the guards have come to pay their respects.
Ye Zhao groaned slightly, and said, "Tell him to come to Fu'anju, I was about to go there to eat with Master Feng." ”
The guards hurriedly took the order and left.
…… Fu'anju is a first-class restaurant in Jinling, with eaves and paintings, and it is magnificent.
On the second floor of Zhenyue Pavilion, Ihachi hurriedly entered and kowtowed, "The slave asks for peace to the master and the mother." ”
This title made Ye Zhao stunned, Ihachi used to be the long history of the palace transferred from the two palaces, and the real person was the person of the two palaces, and there were six rooms in the palace of the queen, and Ihachi was in charge of finance, and he was appointed as the Minister of Transportation, and over the years, I wanted to come and go through the exchanges with the two palaces, and I realized that I could get the wrist of the Lan nobles, and I am afraid that I have already become a confidant of the Lan nobles.
Ihachi is not a blue-flagged person, and in the past, he would not call the regent "master".
"Get up." As Ye Zhao spoke, the guards on the side moved to the soft pier.
But Ihachi didn't get up, his forehead fell to the ground, and said: "The slave will die, please cure the slave's sin!" ”
Ye Zhao frowned slightly and said, "What's the matter, if you have something to say, just say it." "I don't know which one Lan Guiren instructed him to sing.
Ihachi said: "The words of the slave can only be said to the master alone. ”
Ye Zhao said: "It's okay, nothing can be said to people." As he spoke, he waved his hand, and several guards withdrew, leaving only Ren Qian and the little maid in the room.
"Yes, yes." Ihachi kowtowed vigorously again and said: "The words of the slave have been held in my heart for a long time, like a fish in my throat, and now I say that even if the master cuts off the head of the slave, the slave will say it." ”
"The master is wise and resolute, born with the holy master, this is known to the world, when the society is in danger, the master conquers the south and the north, turns the tide in the fall, and helps the rivers and mountains! The master is the talent of the saint, the work of governing the country, the three emperors and the five emperors of the ancient times are also unreachable, in just a few years, my new dynasty has become a meteorology. Today, all the ministers, all the soldiers, and hundreds of millions of people do not respect the master as the master of the new dynasty! However, the master is righteous and supports the young master, but now the Taizu Emperor Gao is in the same vein, and the number of qi has been exhausted, if the master goes against the sky, more than ten years later, I am afraid that the vigorous atmosphere of my new dynasty will be dyed bright red! ”
"Today's national affairs are difficult, and the ministers, hundreds of millions of soldiers and civilians, but they don't know why they are fighting! The country is deserted, the emperor is short of breath, the slaves cry blood and beg the master, and the orthodoxy is the heart of the army and the people! Then I will attack everything! Invincible! The Holy Lord is coming! Sweep [***]! ”
As he spoke, Ihachi kowtowed again, and blood broke out of his forehead.
Ye Zhao was stunned, but he really couldn't imagine that Ihaqi came to persuade him.
saw him kowtow again: "Southern Ocean, cash dragon unicorn; In the southwest, springs gush three zhang; East Penglai Jin Guangxian; Jinling City, now said auspicious clouds rolling, circling in the master's mansion for three hours before dispersing! This is the auspicious sign of all parties and the master's unification! The slave is bold, and has written an excerpt to submit to Guangzhou, asking the former emperor to abdicate in order to respond to the mandate of heaven! ”
Ye Zhao gradually understood that Ihaqi was not a fraud, thinking that he had found clues in his secret correspondence with Lan Guiren, and he would be shocked when he noticed that Lan Guiren had actually fallen to him.
Yuan Jiasan, the first important minister before the two palaces, collapsed, and he is now the number one person in the Hou Party, even if he thought that Yuan Jiasan would fall at first, and the two palaces must have a back hand, but after these days, he will definitely find that Yuan Jiasan fell and fell, and there was no sign of rebound.
When he felt that Lan Guiren had fallen to him, and even Lan Guiren was likely to reveal something in his letter to him, wouldn't he be panicked at this moment? can only quickly turn the muzzle of the gun to speculate, and become the vanguard of supporting the regent, so as not to follow in the footsteps of Yuan Jiasan, you must know that it is really to the point of seeing the poor dagger, I am afraid that it will be bloody, and he may not be as lucky as Yuan Jiasan, and he can still retreat.
The so-called fold, Ihaqi naturally just showed his attitude, I don't know what the regent's intentions are, this fold can definitely be recovered.
Ye Zhao glanced at him a few times and said, "Don't talk nonsense, retreat, if such a rebellious fold is seen by the two palaces, I will cut off your head." ”
"Slaves aren't afraid to lose their heads!" Ihachi kowtowed vigorously.
Ye Zhao smiled bitterly in his heart, in this era, some officials are really like these snakes and rats, which is helpless. Waving his hand: "Okay, let's go down!" ”
"Yes, my lord, St. Ann! Mother's Saint Ann! Ihachi kowtowed, got up, and stepped backwards.
Ye Zhao took a sip of the wine glass and said, "The whole price is nonsense. ”
Jin Feng was struck by lightning, and Ihachi's words were like a thunderbolt, and every sentence shook her brain.
She didn't know that Ye Zhao had already begun to deploy the throne, and this information was undoubtedly explosive for her.
Emperor? Jin Feng looked at Ye Zhao blankly, the old man actually wanted to be the emperor? This, this is going to be done, will I be a concubine in the future? If you are the worst, you can be canonized as a nobleman, right? After all, Ye still likes himself very much.
Since then, it was a real carp jumping over the dragon gate, and even his own family members have become relatives of noble blood.
Ye Zhao couldn't help but laugh when he saw Jin Feng's daze, waved his hand, Ren Qian and the little maid hurriedly retreated, and if he wanted to say Ren Qian, his face was pale at the moment, and his heart was pounding, he shouldn't listen to this, and he couldn't be cut off when he turned around.
It can be seen that the prince's face is as usual, and his heart is a little calm, obviously the prince regards him as a confidant, and there is no taboo.
Ye Zhao twisted the pretty face of the golden phoenix with condensed skin, and said with a smile: "Still dreaming in vain!" ”
Only then did Jin Feng come back to her senses and said coquettishly: "The concubine will be able to dream in vain." ”
There was no one left and right, so Ye Zhao smiled and said: "If I become the emperor, I will make you a concubine." "Qing Dynasty concubines, one queen, one imperial concubine, two concubines, four concubines, six concubines, nobles, always there, promises, etc.
Even if Ye Zhao doesn't need to be clean, but if he says this now, he will give Jin Feng a title similar to that of a concubine, Jin Feng has been with Ye Zhao for a long time, and he has done his best, so he should be favored.
Jin Feng was stunned, and his heart almost jumped to his throat with joy, and he immediately stood up, spread the brocade cushion on the ground, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said delicately: "Long live Concubine Xie!" "First, it's fun to please Ye Zhao; Second, her careful thoughts, Ye Zhao, didn't understand? This is all grateful, Chrysostom Yuyan, and he can't regret it in the future.
Ye Zhao was amused and said, "Get up, you, you will be careful, and turn around and beat you to the cold palace." ”
"The concubine is at the disposal of the emperor, and she dare not complain!" Jin Fengjiao said didily, kowtowed again, and then got up.
Ye Zhao took a sip of wine and said, "Let's use the vegetables." ”
Jin Feng's face is radiant, her whole body is hot, soft and without a trace of strength, if a woman can come this far, isn't it really extremely glorious and pampered, and she has got everything in her dreams?
Not to mention, in fact, the man in front of him, even if he is a beggar, will be extremely happy if he follows him.
The beauty was persuaded to drink on the side, Ye Zhao couldn't help but drink a few more glasses, and when he was slightly drunk, he said, "Go to Xiaohong Mountain?" ”
Jin Feng nodded obediently, when she went out, the little maid almost hit her with a big bag in a panic, if she had been reprimanded before, if Ye Zhao was not there, she would definitely have to be punished. But now that I think that I will be a concubine in the future, I must have both virtue and integrity, and I don't care about some small things.
Mei Zizi followed Ye Zhao and walked out of Fu'anju.
There is no need to go into detail that night, Jin Feng did everything possible to be happy, all kinds of flattery, and the bones and muscles that Ye Zhao was serving were crispy, but he felt that even if he was a fairy, it was nothing more than that.
