Chapter 143: Capture Qingzhou strongly
Gong Jing is actually not old this year, he is only fifty-six years old, and he is still in the prime of life in the next generation, and he can still go further.
But in this era, the average life expectancy is only in the age of forty, and there are many people who claim to be old at the age of fifty-six, but this is definitely not the real reason why Gong Jing is old.
Xi Zhicai is not a fool, he naturally knows that this is a temptation by him, but he is afraid that telling the old man is just retreating.
No one will like it, and he will be deprived of the power in his hands by others casually, even if he does not have an heir to inherit the position of the assassin. Gong Jing's two sons died early one after another, and he only had a daughter Gong Yinglian in his thirties, and he didn't plan to succeed one in the clan, but after so long, he didn't find one that caught his eye.
Even so, he didn't intend to hand over his position as a assassin just like that. Who doesn't know these years that although the official hat he wears on his head is the official hat of the Great Han Dynasty, he is actually an independent prince. There is almost no need to doubt which is better, a courtier without real power, or a local emperor who divides one side.
It's just that Xi Zhicai is an existence like a prime minister, and no one can say for sure whether his arrival represents Fang Yun.
Everyone was a close ally before, so Gong Jing didn't want to make things stiff, so in the name of begging bones, he only thought about the drama before he knew the difficulty and retreated, and didn't let everyone tear their faces in the end, which was not good for anyone.
It is true that he Gong Jing has little strength, but it is not difficult to lead Cao Cao into Qingzhou, and even enter Xuzhou through Qingzhou. Even if you really push yourself to be anxious, it may not be an option to go directly to Cao Cao. To put it bluntly, having a territory is everything, and only then can you have the right to speak, if you lose your territory, then there will be no bargaining chips!
"Gong Thorn is in the prime of life, just when he is serving the country, if he returns to his hometown, wouldn't it be a loss for the Han Dynasty? In fact, this drama came somebody. Just explain the lord's proposal, as for whether you are willing to accept it, it is naturally up to you to decide Gong Tingshi! If Gong Tingshi doesn't mind, can you listen to the chips given by the lord first? Xi Zhicai seemed to have expected him to say that. So I asked very lightly.
"But it doesn't hurt to say it!" Gong Jing also said with the intention that it would not hurt to listen.
"The imperial court is employing people, and the various departments of the new reform also lack the existence of some staff who can control the subordinates, including one department for the Ministry of Construction, which is responsible for the planning and construction of major cities and villages across the country. Among all the departments, it can be regarded as the top three. Second only to the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of National Defense, the lord means to invite Gong Tingshi to serve as the minister of the Ministry of Construction, which is not only a real power errand, but also definitely a fat difference! At the same time, the lord is also planning to propose to His Majesty that Gong Thorn Shi be named the Marquis of Beihai Township......" Xi Zhicai said with a smile.
Is the Ministry of Construction really in the top three of all departments? Naturally, this may not be the case, but Xi Zhicai is bullying Gong Jing for not being familiar with those institutions, so he exaggerated the benefits of the Ministry of Construction, so that it is convenient for Gong Jing to take the bait! As for the so-called canonization matters. If he is interested, then it is not a problem to reward him with the title of a country marquis, but if he is not interested, then he will naturally give up!
"This ......" Gong Jing is actually really moved, Qingzhou is not particularly wealthy, especially in recent years, life has not been very good. In addition, he is just a Qingzhou assassin appointed by the imperial court, and the local family is actually not very buying, which makes him have real power, but his life may not be very comfortable.
In a department with real power, and it is also a department with good oil and water, he can even get a knighthood. That, of course, is the best outcome. This can't help but Gong Jing, and he is moved.
At the same time, the drama heard that Gong Jianshi had a daughter under his knees, named Yinglian. Dignified and virtuous. Reading poetry and books, I can't help but feel admiration, this time I cheekily ask Gong Tingshi for a kiss, and I hope that Tingshi will become a certain piece of sincerity in the play! At the same time, Xi can also guarantee that the first heir can be surnamed Gong! Xi Zhicai immediately added another bombshell.
All right. Gong Yinglian is twenty years old this year, and she has been raising her at home because she can't get married. It's a bit reluctant, after all, there's such a daughter under her knees. Besides, Gong Jing didn't think about recruiting redundancy, but there were few suitable ones.
Xi Zhicai's words went directly into his heart, but if he wanted to say that Xi Zhicai liked Gong Yinglian, then he would never believe it. As far as he knows, the two have never met, and if you want to say that Xi Zhi will like each other, he won't believe it if he is killed.
And it's ashamed to say it, I spoiled this daughter too much when I was a child, so that my daughter's vision has always been very high, not to mention, she has also danced knives and guns since she was a child, and she almost didn't wear armor to go into battle. If not, how could you not be married at the age of twenty? Could it be that he is dignified in Qingzhou, the daughter of the princes of one side, so there is no market?!
Look at what Xi Zhicai touted before, what is dignified and virtuous, what is full of poetry and books, then it is not Gong Yinglian at all, right? But others praised their daughter, and they were embarrassed to refute anything, Gong Jing only felt that his face was hot......
The most critical point is still Xi Zhicai's promise, the first son's surname is Gong, which makes their Gong family an heir, no different from recruitment. You must know that in these years, the man actually still values his own bloodline, and the situation that his son will change his surname is almost non-existent, let alone become a son-in-law.
As the prime minister of the dynasty, Xi Zhicai's identity is definitely qualified to marry his daughter, and he is willing to let his first child have the surname Gong, which has to move him.
At the same time, I couldn't help but wonder, is this what Fang Yun meant, or what Xi Zhicai meant? If it's really Xi Zhicai's interest to his daughter, if it's Fang Yun's instigation, then Xi Zhicai has sacrificed too much for this lord, right?!
This couldn't help but make him a little curious, and he wanted to know who Fang Yun was. What kind of person can make a subordinate be able to sacrifice so much for him.
"Is this what you mean, or what Fang Yun means?" Gong Jing simply spread out the words and said.
"The lord didn't know that Xi Mou came to visit the assassin ......" Xi Zhicai smiled and shook his head slightly.
Well, it seems that all this is the result of Xi Zhicai's own assertions. The previous promises may not be taken seriously.
"Gong Tingshi doesn't need to suspect anything, before going south, the lord and Xi did mention that matter. It's just that both sides are allies, so it's not good to be too strong, so I didn't plan to inform you so soon.
It's just that the drama thinks that he is more active now. Perhaps more benefits can be obtained. If it is at that time, when the lord Chen soldiers are on the border, and there is another army in Xuzhou that has been arranged to go north, I am afraid that the price code will not be so high. Xi Zhicai directly took on the identity of his son-in-law. Tell Gong Jing.
In fact, the traces of this whistleblower are too obvious, so Gong Jing can see that Xi Zhicai is clearly leaking secrets to himself, but actually reminding himself that there is this possibility. As said, the benefits may not be as good as they are now. Even if he takes refuge in Cao Cao. Could it be that Cao Cao can allow himself to continue to be the assassin of this Qingzhou?
Obviously, if you become a king or lose, maybe in the end, you will just live a life like this with an idle job. If you're unlucky, you'll die suddenly one night, and it's not a strange thing in such troubled times.
"Okay, I get what you mean! I just heard that Prime Minister, you are going south to pay tribute to Tao Qian, is it not appropriate to propose marriage to me this time? "Gong Jing is a compromise in stages. A key question is also raised.
You TMD went to mourn, and you came to me to ask for a kiss, what do you mean?!
"It's just a matter of both public and private affairs, if not, it is not easy to come out once as a play. Besides, it is not necessary to marry immediately, but it is also necessary to ask for an auspicious day of the zodiac to succeed, right? The drama came this time, nothing more than to set the name first, simply put, to set a family first, and then return to Qingzhou or even Jinyang in the future. It's not too late to get married. Xi Zhicai said with a smile, looking like he had already planned.
"Well, I can't talk about you! And arrange for you to meet the little girl, if she has no opinion. Then let's settle the family affairs first. Gong Jing can be regarded as compromising most of the time.
As for Tao Ying on the side, he sat there obediently and didn't say anything. He also felt that Xi Zhicai's behavior was a little strange, but he couldn't understand why it was like this. Originally, when Xi Zhicai was going to pay tribute to his father, he was openly able to come to Qingzhou. It's just a matter of recruiting others, it can be said to be done by the way. But openly asking for a kiss or something, isn't it too inconsiderate of yourself?
If it weren't for Fang Yun's great potential, and knowing that Xi Zhicai couldn't represent Fang Yun, and also considering the future of the Tao family, Tao Ying would have to hold it in his heart at this moment, even if he had tens of millions of words.
In the end, it was Gong Jing who received him, expressed regret for Tao Qian's death, and comforted him. As for Xi Zhicai, he arranged to go to the backyard to meet Gong Yinglian.
It's just that after a while, there was a sound of fighting in the backyard, but fortunately, the scale was not very large, at least it didn't look like a ruckus.
I have to say that it's not just Tao Ying at this moment, I'm afraid that Gong Jing is also pinching a cold sweat for Xi Zhicai. The noise soon ended, and it was obvious that the winner had been decided, but I didn't know what the outcome would be.
The last maid came to Gong Jing's ear and whispered, Gong Jing didn't believe it at first, and then he was overjoyed.
Obviously, the two of them really looked at each other, so it's okay, but it's a matter of heart. His daughter can't get married at the age of twenty, which really worries him for a long time.
The next day, considering that Xi Zhicai still had a task, a marriage ceremony was simply held, and the two were officially engaged. As for the marriage, I will keep the drama before I come back from Xuzhou. From now on, Gong Jing will send the Assassin Shi Yinxin to Jinyang, and then prepare to wait for their people to take over the defense, and then start to leave for Jinyang.
After the engagement ceremony, Xi Zhicai said goodbye to Gong Jing the next day and continued to follow Tao Ying south.
"Mr. Xi, this time to recruit Qingzhou, it seems that the general has not made a reservation, but I don't know if Mr. is like this, is it inappropriate?" Tao Ying asked on the way, in fact, it was also a reproach to him for ignoring the right thing.
"Hahaha, it's not either, it's really wrong if you don't do that!" Xi Zhicai smiled mysteriously, but he played a Zen machine and did not answer Tao Ying's question positively.
It's just that he obviously didn't intend to answer his own question, and although Tao Ying had doubts, he had to give up. (To be continued.) )
PS: Xi Zhicai took back the power of Qingzhou strongly, but it was a little tougher, and the beautiful men's tricks were used, and the discipline was ......
