When Chen Kefu accepted the generous gift of as many as 100,000 gold coins worth 10 million yuan, the atmosphere in the Taiji Hall was much more relaxed and warm.

In addition to relaxation, the princes, nobles, civil and military officials standing in the hall all looked eagerly at Chen Kefu on the dragon chair at this time. When Wang Shichong surrendered to Chen Kefu and Yang Tong went to the emperor to become the king of Yue, and went to Chen Kefu's army, Luoyang, a small court with Yang Dong as the emperor and the Wang Jianghuai army as the pillar, ceased to exist.

The emperor is gone, and the civil and military officials in these small courts in the Eastern Capital naturally no longer have official positions. In fact, these people standing in the Taiji Hall at this time actually have no official positions.

They raised tens of millions of dollars to dedicate to Chen Kefu, in addition to showing favor to Chen Kefu, in fact, they also wanted to take this opportunity to regain the recognition of the Sui Dynasty in Beijing, to be able to maintain their current status, and to regain their official position.

The internal history ordered Lu Chu and Yuan Wendu, the heads of the two civil ministers of the Eastern Capital, to take the lead in the ranks, kneeling under the Danqi and playing, "Your Highness, the ministers ask to contribute their meager strength to Your Highness and serve Your Highness." ”

Chen Kefu glanced at the people in the hall and found that everyone's faces were more eager than Lu Chu and Yuan Wendu, and they all had expectations in their eyes. If even Lu Chu and Yuan Wendu couldn't get positions in front of Chen Kefu, they would be even more hopeless.

Smiling slightly, Chen Kefu relaxed and sat down on the back of the dragon chair, leaning his entire back on the back of the golden dragon chair. He rested one hand on the back of the chair, leaning slightly to the side, and the other hand caressing the short beard under his chin. Just laughing, not talking.

The cheerful atmosphere in the hall gradually became heavier and heavier, and even the palace musicians who were playing drums stopped and did not dare to move lightly.

"You, bring that plate of apples, it looks so bright, it must be delicious. It's been so long since I left Beijing. It's been a long time since I've eaten such fresh fruit. Chen Kefu smiled and said to a twenty-eight lovely palace maid with her head bowed slightly.

The palace maid was slightly surprised, lowered her head and slowly walked to the Danqi with the plate of apples, holding the plate with both hands over her head.

Chen Kefu took the plate, took a very bright apple from it, and took a bite of it, which was very sweet and sour. He ate most of it in a few bites, not paying the slightest attention to the presence of people in the hall. While eating, he also took another one from the plate and handed it to the palace maid.

"The king knows you. You used to serve in Princess Izumo's palace, right? ”

"Slave Xiangyun, she has indeed served Her Royal Highness Princess Izumo before." The palace maid said nervously.

Chen Kefu smiled and said, "If you eat it, you can eat it, don't be so restrained." Izumo has good news for you, Izumo just gave birth to a little prince for this king a few days ago, the tenth day of the fourth month. ”

Xiangyun was delighted, and happily replied to Chen Ke, "Slave and maid, congratulations to His Royal Highness and the princess to get the prince." ”

"If you're still willing to take care of Izumo, how about King Ben send you to Beijing in a few days?"

"The slave is willing. Willing! Xiangyun's face was full of joy, and Princess Izumo treated them extremely kindly. She was naturally willing to serve the princess again.

Chen Kefu and the palace maid Izumo were chatting as if no one was there, completely ignoring the people in the hall. Even Yuan Wendu and Lu Chu, who were kneeling on the ground, didn't even look at them, and deliberately pretended to ignore them.

After a while, Chen Kefu felt that he had almost done it, so he let Princess Izumo return to the ranks.

Then he seemed to pretend to see Lu Chu and the others, and said with an extremely false smile on his face. "Why are you kneeling here, and what do you have to do?"

Lu Chu and the others did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and repeated it very sincerely.

Chen Kefu nodded. He deliberately did this just now, just to see how these people reacted. If these people in Dongdu think that he Chen Kefu can send him away with a little money, maybe they will have some excessive thoughts in the future. Deliberately drying them now is also to make them more aware of the situation at this time. …,

Now seeing that everyone's attitude is quite honest, Chen Kefu no longer handles it, stretches out his hand and raises it falsely, and lets the two of them get up.

"Lord Lu and Lord Yuan were originally burdened with the last orders of the emperor and stayed in the Eastern Capital. In the past two years, he has also worked hard to protect the safety of the people. The King is now entrusted by the current Holy Lord and the Queen Mother to temporarily regent the government until His Majesty comes of age and becomes a pro-monarch. Naturally, we cannot ignore your merits, and you will be rewarded for your merits. Remembering that the two of you have made meritorious contributions to protecting Luoyang, today you will be rewarded with 10,000 copper coins each, and each of them will be awarded the three-grade silver Qingguanglu doctor. Yuan Wendu plus Taifu Temple Shaoqing, Lu Chujia Weiwei Temple Shaoqing. ”

After hearing this appointment, everyone in the hall was slightly stunned. Lu Chu and Yuan Wen both held the position of Inner History Order in the small imperial court of Luoyang, and they were the chief officials of the Inner History Province, one of the three provinces. The real court official, the post of prime minister. Even when Yang Guang was in the time, they were also high-ranking officials in the court, and they were all substantive officials of the third grade.

And now that the big is attached to Chen Kefu, the officials who Chen Kefu gave to the two of them surprised them. Doctor Yinqing Guanglu, this is the civil official of the Hebei Imperial Court, a rank official who has no position and no power from the third grade. The real real job of the two of them is Si Shaoqing, one raises horses for the imperial court, and the other helps the imperial court guard weapons and equipment. And none of them are supervisors, just the adjutant of a temple, the fourth official. In addition, there are no knights, no lords.

Whether it is compared with the original small court in the Eastern Capital or the official position of Yang Guangchao in the past, Lu Chu and the others can be said to have been greatly demoted, and they have been demoted to idle personnel all of a sudden.

The two knelt on the ground and changed color slightly, and Lu Chu secretly gritted his teeth.

However, they only hesitated slightly, and in the end, the two of them quickly smiled and saluted Chen Kefu, "It is the supreme honor of the ministers to serve His Highness, and the ministers are willing to serve His Highness in front of the steps with this thin body, and they will not hesitate to do so." ”

"Okay." Chen Kefu nodded and said, "I believe in this king, as long as you can be loyal to this king and work hard, this king will not treat you badly in the end." ”

The maternal uncle of Yang Tong and Yang Qi, the son of Wei Xiaokuan, a famous general of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the early Sui Dynasty, was tall and burly, and felt that his father's inheritance. However, compared with his father Wei Xiaokuan, who was a famous general, Wei Shou, a great nobleman of the Guanlong military aristocratic group, was not a warlike general. On the contrary, Wei Shou is a wealthy man with a huge fortune. And in addition to making money, Wei Shou also likes to marry beautiful wives and concubines the most, and is better at having children.

However, Wei Shou married more than a dozen concubines, and gave birth to more than 30 children, but there were few sons, and there were more than 30 daughters. Among them, the richest one was married to the former prince Yang Zhao, and gave birth to Sui Dianyu, who was just abolished by Yu Wenhua in Guanzhong, that is, the original Wang Yu.

In addition, over the years, Wei Shou has intermarried with major clans, and his daughter has married all over the world, and has long woven a huge marriage network. Although Wei Shou is over the age of six, he is relatively tall, with a beard, a thick chest, and broad shoulders.

Wei Shou stepped forward and said, "The minister has a daughter who is waiting for the word boudoir, which is really the pearl of my family." His Royal Highness has clearly checked that she has not yet made a marriage contract with anyone. The little girl heard about His Royal Highness's great achievements, and was intoxicated by your wisdom, courage and famous general's demeanor, and she has always admired and fell in love. The minister implored His Royal Highness to bring her to Luoyang on the same day, marry hand in hand, combine the two families, and create a brilliant future generations. ”

Chen Kefu was slightly surprised, "The prince of the slippery country is famous all over the world, but this king has already married his eldest grandson." And in addition to the eldest grandson, this king has already married the beloved daughter of Princess Izumo and the late Tang Duke Li Yuan. Now that the eldest grandson and Izumo have just given birth to a prince for Wang Ben, how can this king still marry Miss Wei. ”…,

Wei Shou stood there and said with a smile, "Your Highness, ordinary people, you have to marry one wife. And the eunuch's house, in addition to his wife, can also take concubines. And in the case of our dynasty, the princes and nobles, in addition to one wife, can marry two equal wives, three wives and four concubines. As for a prince as honorable as King Chen, he was even more unbound by these etiquette systems. In addition to the main concubines, His Royal Highness King Chen can also have four side concubines and many concubines. Now although His Royal Highness has the eldest grandson princess and Princess Izumo, as well as the side concubine of the Li family, he can still marry the younger daughter as a side concubine. ”

Yang Tong, the king of Yue over there, also came out and said, "The prince of the slip country is the grandfather of the little king, and the daughter of the prince of the slip is also the aunt of the little prince." Moreover, the prince of the slippery country married with the nobles of the world, and the in-laws spread all over the world. If King Chen marries the Wei family, he will also be related to many noble lords. ”

Many princes, nobles, civil and military officials in the palace also spoke up, "The marriage between His Royal Highness and the Duke of Huaguo is really a great good thing, and it is a happy event that the people of our Eastern Capital are looking forward to." The eastern capital has been besieged for a long time, and if His Royal Highness holds a grand wedding in the eastern capital at this time, it will undoubtedly make the people of the entire Luoyang City much easier. As for the cost of holding the wedding, we are willing to bear it with all our might, and we will not ask His Highness to break the bank. ”

Over there, Wei Shou also hurriedly said, "The minister's family is quite wealthy, and he is willing to marry a little girl with millions of dollars and a thousand acres of Zhuangtian!" ”

Chen Kefu stared at Wei Shou closely, and couldn't help but marvel at the Wei family's great financial resources. In order to rely on himself, marrying a daughter is not counted, but he is willing to pay 1 million yuan and 100,000 acres of land to marry. Even if the Wei family is rich, this is definitely a bloody investment.

For the Miss Wei family who he had never seen, Chen Kefu naturally couldn't say whether he liked or disliked. However, if you put aside the emotional aspect, only from the perspective of interests, accepting this marriage at this time can immediately attract a large number of Guanlong nobles and local families in Henan. Although Chen Kefu didn't care about the huge dowry, if he wanted to take over the Central Plains at this time, he really needed the support of these local aristocratic and powerful forces.

Killing can't solve all problems, especially at this time when the Central Plains is in shambles, and what is needed is a return to life, not another round of purge. Compromise and exchange of interests are the immutable laws of the right holders. Even if Chen Kefu now controls half of the world with one hand, in the face of this, he has to weigh the pros and cons like a businessman.
