After Xiang Hui left, there was a burst of laughter in the room.

Xie Mingxi also pursed his lips and laughed.

Xianghui and Wei Gonggong are also good things. Xiang Hui was worried and refused to accept Father-in-law Wei at first. Fortunately, Father-in-law Wei was sincere and never gave up. Now the biggest gap is gone, and it is logical to become a couple.

"What's the joy of today, why are you so happy?"

A familiar voice sounded in the doorway.

Xie Mingxi got up with a smile and stepped forward: "I just talked about Xianghui and Father-in-law Wei. Why did you come back so early today? ”

Sheng Hong returned late for many days, and came back today when the sun was still high, which is really rare.

Sheng Hong said with a smile: "I have finished the errand of the Ministry of Industry, and I will come back early if I have nothing to do." ”

The Ministry of Industry is not a mallet. He's going to go soon, and he won't arrange another bunch of errands for him. It's enough to show up every day.

From Yu Fuyu and the others retreated in a slip of the way.

The husband and wife hugged each other and whispered to each other.

Xie Mingxi first said what he did today: "...... I have instructed them to go down, and Yu An will change their disguises and accompany them. ”

Xie Mingxi privately raised the secret guard, Sheng Hong has always known. However, he never asked how many there were. In his mind, thirty or fifty.

Sheng Hong asked casually: "How many people do you have?" ”

Xie Mingxi replied lightly: "Not much, about half of your own soldiers." ”

Sheng Hong: "......"

He has a thousand guards, half of them five hundred!

The secret guard is equivalent to a private soldier, completely loyal to the master, and acts according to the master's orders. In these years, it will not be uncommon for officials and magnates to raise some private soldiers. Who doesn't have a 180-year-old private soldier?

But Xie Mingxi is too exaggerated! A full five hundred private soldiers! How much gold, silver, and rice will it cost?

His personal guards are all supported by the imperial court.

Sheng Hong looked shocked and blurted out: "Mingxi, why do you want to raise so many private soldiers?" ”

You can't get that out of the way.

Xie Mingxi peeked through Sheng Hong's mind and smiled disappreciatively: "I raised some comfort, just to protect myself." I don't take the initiative to bully anyone, but whoever thinks I'm a soft persimmon that I pinch is wrong. ”

It's a big mistake!

Sheng Hong deliberately showed a look of sincerity and fear: "Wait for me to think about it." Since I got married, I haven't done anything to be sorry for you! ”

Xie Mingxi chuckled: "It's really not." Otherwise, I would have made you look good. ”

……

The husband and wife whispered a few words of banter, and soon returned to the topic.

"The list of people who will go to Shu with us has been decided."

"Ye Jingzhi is the long history of the King of Shu, and he has to accompany him. Lu Chi will also accompany him, Xiao Yufan, Xie Yuanzhou and the two cousins of the Mei family will also accompany him. ”

"And Zhao Qi, who will also go to Shu with us."

Hearing Zhao Qi's name, Xie Mingxi was a little surprised: "Zhao Qi is really willing to go to Shu with us?" ”

Sheng Hong grinned smugly: "He originally wanted to go to Shu with me." It's just that he is the youngest son in the family, and Mrs. Yan Ge is reluctant to let him go, so she refuses to let go. ”

"Two days ago, I went to Yan's Mansion on purpose and personally opened my mouth with Yan Ge Lao, promising that I would never treat Zhao Qi badly. Yan Ge Lao reluctantly opened his mouth to agree. However, Zhao Qi was only allowed to stay in Shu for five years before returning to Beijing. ”

"Zhao Qi told me privately, let's leave the capital first. After five years, I want to stay. ”

Xie Mingxi smiled knowingly.

Zhao Qi is Sheng Hong's close friend and the eye of the new science list......

Wait a minute!

"Sheng Hong, when we go, won't we bring the new champion list to Shudi?" Xie Mingxi made a rare discovery with a conscience: "Will this be a little excessive?" ”

It seems to be a little excessive!

Emperor Jian'an still doesn't know the specific list of personnel, if he does, maybe his nose will be crooked! Co-authored last year's imperial examination, the three most outstanding were abducted by Sheng Hong.

Sheng Hong shrugged: "Anyway, they all voluntarily went to Shu to be officials, and I didn't want to dig the corner of the imperial brother." ”

Dig and dig! Not a big deal!

Xie Mingxi didn't take this matter too seriously and laughed it off.

"This time, my father-in-law did make a lot of effort." Sheng Hong laughed in a low voice: "The imperial brother is quite stingy, and he is only willing to allocate 200,000 taels of silver to me." The father-in-law deliberately read through the regulations of all the vassal kings of this dynasty, and presented a recital to the saint. For the sake of face, the royal brother had to endure the pain and pay another 300,000 taels! ”

This kind of thing is destined to offend the Son of Heaven, of course Xie Jun doesn't want to do it.

Xie Mingxi personally went back to Xie Mansion a few days ago, and only said two words to Xie Jun: "The fifth brother is still young, and when he is a little older, his father will send him to Shudi." His Royal Highness the King of Shu is a vassal king, and it is easy to find a background for his fifth brother. ”

…… With such a promise, Xie Jun can't do it!

In Emperor Jian'an's gloomy and unkind gaze, Xie Jun stiffened his head and made a twist.

King Lu, King Ning, King Min were also happy to see Emperor Jian'an bleeding.

At this time, how much silver the king of Shu had in the domain was also related to the amount of silver when they became a vassal in the future. Therefore, all the vassal kings spoke out one after another, and seconded the proposal.

Emperor Jian'an couldn't do without this face, so he had to endure the pain and cut his flesh!

Xie Mingxi raised his eyebrows and sneered: "It's just 500,000 taels!" The dignified son of heaven is so stingy, it really makes people look down on it! ”

Sheng Hong can see it: "It's better than nothing!" It's not just that I live on his silver, I also have a lot of grange shop properties, and I can take all of them away. ”

Xie Mingxi snorted: "The silver is not enough, just tell me." My private money is not too much, but I still have two million taels. ”

Sheng Hong: "......"

The huge sense of happiness of being raised by his daughter-in-law made Sheng Hong have mixed feelings, stretched out his hand to hug Xie Mingxi, and was full of emotion: "Daughter-in-law, marrying you is really the greatest luck in my life." ”

By the way, rubbed it into his daughter-in-law's arms, and looked for it like Aluo.

Xie Mingxi's cheeks were slightly hot, and he twisted Sheng Hong's cheeky skin angrily and funny: "Don't mess around." ”

Sheng Hong had already quickly found the target, with something in his mouth, and his voice was indistinct: "Everything that should be said is finished, and it's time to get down to business." ”

Xie Mingxi: "......"

……

A few days later.

Sheng Hong entered the Jiaofang Palace, presented the prepared list to Emperor Jian'an, and said eagerly and sincerely: "In a few days, the younger brother will leave for Shudi." There were a few young Jinshi and their relatives who wanted to go to Shu with them, or to be officials or take care of the affairs of their courtiers. I beg the Emperor's permission. ”

How many young jinshi?

Emperor Jian'an took the list casually, and his eyes swirled around the first three names.

Lu Chi!

Zhao Qi!

Ye Jingzhi!

Emperor Jian'an: "......"
