Chapter 19 For the sake of military merit, the nobles fight!
Everyone had their own calculations in their hearts, and they all wanted to curry favor with Su Yu, but these nobles present did not know some undercurrents in the imperial capital at this time.
After all, the eldest prince was quite concerned about the prestige of the Su Wangfu in the empire, and his series of actions against the Su Wangfu were very secretive.
Except for some nobles in the imperial capital who knew the thoughts of the great prince, in other cities of the Chengtian Empire, even the nobles of the marquis and earl had no way of knowing.
Only people of the Duke level will know some secrets before they stand in line, and the others will either already stand in line or remain in the dark.
Most of the nobles attracted by the eldest prince are nobles with real power, either holding military power or being the lord of a big city.
Although Baiyang City is close to the imperial capital, due to the small size of the city, the nobles in the city are not enough to make the eldest prince pay attention.
And the reason why General Yang exposed Su Yu's identity today and summoned these local nobles of Baiyang City to come was to fight for more benefits and resources for Su Yu.
Now Su Yu is already a person who is independent of Su Wangfu, and Nian Qingyi, who is far away in the imperial capital, very much hopes that Su Yu can go out independently and reproduce the glory that is not weaker than Su Zhanshen.
Even if everyone in the imperial capital thinks that Su Yu is a waste material and has achieved nothing in this life, Nian Qingyi is willing to believe that Su Yu will one day be able to soar for nine days and be proud of the Quartet.
Not only Nian Qingyi believes in Su Yu so much, but even Su Yu's two sisters, Su Huiyin and Su Mi'er, believe in it too!
These aristocratic resources in Baiyang City were not looked down upon by the eldest prince, but they were of great help to Su Yu in the early stage.
This is also what General Yang meant, using this dinner as an opportunity to fight for more benefits for Su Yu!
The scheming General Yang paved the way for Su Yu all the time.
Everyone went up to the third floor and sat down, and under the resignation of everyone, Su Yu had no choice but to sit on the main seat.
Delicious food and wine were soon placed on the table, and a group of dancing girls entered, dancing to the rhythm of the musicians.
"Come on, come on, Prince, this is my Baiyang City's specialty mountain spring wine, the taste is like a clear spring, brewed for a hundred days, the taste is quiet and not greasy!
There are aristocrats pouring wine for Su Yu with a smile on their faces.
"Son, I don't know what kind of food you like, so in addition to some strength, each family took out some treasures to cook. On this table, there are the claws of the [Stormy Wind Bear], the wings of the [Demon Sky Firebird], and the large tonic soup of the [Snow Mountain Pheasant]...... The chef in charge is the chef of Wangdonglou, he is the imperial chef who retired from the imperial capital, and his cooking skills are very remarkable, you can try it!"
There are aristocrats eagerly introducing a table full of tempting delicacies to Su Yu.
This kind of dishes, pots and pots of wine, even if Su Yu is used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas in Suwang's Mansion, he can't help but be slightly surprised.
These delicacies and wines, when taken out on a plate, are worth hundreds of gold coins! It is enough for more than a dozen ordinary families to live for most of their lives!
The dishes on this table are conservatively estimated to cost tens of thousands of gold coins!
The tax revenue that this White Sun City gives to the empire in a year is only less than a thousand gold coins!
"You guys are too loving, Su Yu is really grateful. ”
Su Yu smiled at the corner of his mouth, held a wine glass in his hand, and frequently returned the salute, but his eyes were very calm, with a hint of indifference.
There are many human countries in the Sifang Continent, but most of them are in a worrying situation, even the Chengtian Empire is overwhelmed by an orc empire, and the basic nobles in this group of empires only know how to covet pleasures, wine and delicacies, loot wealth and treasures, and curry favor with the nobles of the upper ranks!
There are dozens of people at the table, but there is one person who is not drunk with power and is dedicated to the country?!
No!
It's all about wine and rice bags!
The old emperor is seriously ill and no longer heroic, and the successor, the eldest prince, is only dedicated to power, mastering strong desires and ordinary people.
The troubled times in the Eastern Continent are coming, and the various ethnic groups are constantly strife, and each country has alliances with each other, or conquers other countries to strengthen itself, but the Chengtian Empire is still planning and fighting for the alternation of power in the country!
If it weren't for the fact that Su Zhanshen was still fighting in the northern Xinjiang to defend against foreign enemies, this Chengtian Empire would have ceased to exist a long time ago!
One step behind, one step behind, if it continues, the Chengtian Empire will be annexed by aliens sooner or later!
All kinds of signs show that behind the song and dance of the Chengtian Empire, there is a more and more serious national crisis.
"Alas. ”
Su Yu smiled bitterly in his heart and sighed slightly.
Looking at the smiling faces on the table, Su Yu was slightly alert in his heart.
If I become a lord in the future, I must not let these seemingly noble people appear among the nobles and basic officials in the territory, but in fact they are no different from waste!
Three rounds of drinking.
General Yang coughed, put down his wine glass, and said slowly: "Son, if you want to go to Heishi County this time, you will definitely have a hard time......
General Yang's drunken eyes were hazy, and he looked at Su Yu with a smile on his face.
When these nobles continued to curry favor with Su Yu before, General Yang had been watching, smiling, neither stopping nor expressing his position.
Now General Yang suddenly spoke, and at once attracted the attention of all the nobles present.
Childe is going to Blackstone County?
The nobles were stunned, and their eyes showed doubts.
As the only son of Su Wangfu, he actually wants to go to the notoriously impoverished area of the empire in Heishi County!
That place is rampant and the people are fierce, so Su Zhanshen is not afraid of the son and his son?
Don't......
Is this a precursor to Su Yu's fall from grace?
Some nobles had a stirring in their hearts, and most of them bowed their heads silently and drank, no longer continuing to flatter Su Yu, and watched one after another.
These nobles are all extremely clever, and from General Yang's words, they can analyze a lot of the current situation.
Hehe, here's the big thing!
Su Yu smiled in his heart, put down his wine glass, and said with a smile: "Uncle Yang, don't worry, although this trip to Heishi County is difficult, after all, it is my father's order, and I can only obey it obediently." ”
"Hmm, did the old general order the prince to go? How did I hear that it was an edict from His Majesty himself?"
General Yang pretended to be surprised.
The aristocrats pricked up their ears and listened to the conversation between the two.
They didn't know that this conversation was actually a long time ago between General Yang and Su Yu, and the purpose was to squeeze some benefits out of the nobles of Baiyang City.
"yes, but there's no difference, right?"
Su Yu pretended to be indifferent and smiled.
"That's right, according to the status of the old general in the eyes of His Majesty......"
General Yang laughed, stopped talking, and then raised the wine glass in his hand with drunken eyes, and raised it at Su Yu Yaoyao: "Son, no matter what, my family Mingwei is going to be handed over to you." This time I went to Heishi County, if I got my military merits, I can't forget my family Mingwei, I'm just this son!"
"Hmm, Uncle Yang, I don't understand what you mean. ”
Su Yu frowned, and his expression was quite unhappy.
"Ahh
General Yang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized, his old face turned red, and he hurriedly lowered his head to drink, and laughed dryly.
The eyes of the nobles lit up.
Blackstone County!
The most powerful military family in the Chengtian Empire!
Banditry!
Military merit!
General Yang's only son, Yang Mingwei!
What do these keywords mean?
Everyone couldn't help but think of it reflexively, this must be the Su Wangfu who sent Su Yu to Heishi County, intending to eliminate the bandits in Heishi County and seize military merits!
This is the Su God of War paving the way for his son!
And the Yang Mansion must have known the news through some military connections, so General Yang did not hesitate to hand over his only son to Su Yu, and just now he accidentally said "When you have military merits, don't forget my family Mingwei!"
The more the nobles analyzed, the more they felt that this was the case!
Looking at the entire Chengtian Empire, only the part of Heishi County can be mixed with military merits, and the difficulty of exterminating the bandits is much easier than fighting against foreign races!
All you need is a qualified general and an invincible army, but all this is not lacking in the Su Palace!
Will Su Zhanshen watch his son die in Blackstone County?
Absolutely impossible!
Su Zhanshen will definitely arrange a perfect path for Su Yu!
Su Yu's trip will definitely converge a lot of military exploits!
Judging from the current domestic situation of the Chengtian Empire, if you want to be promoted quickly and become a knight, there is undoubtedly only one way to obtain military merits!
This cunning General Yang actually secretly eats alone!
The nobles gritted their teeth in their hearts, and couldn't help but stare at General Yang, wanting to see something from General Yang's face.
However, General Yang's face remained as usual, and he continued to smile and said: "By the way, Gongzi Ye has traveled a long way, although the old general has the intention of training Gongzi, but as an old general under the old general, I feel a little sorry for Gongzi, why don't I Yang Mansion donate a red-clothed airship specially made by the Chengtian Empire to Gongzi for free, in the hope that Gongzi can reach Heishi County faster." ”
After speaking, General Yang deliberately secretly threw a look at Su Yu.
Su Yu "understood", turned his head slightly, and glanced at Yang Mingwei who was sitting next to General Yang, Su Yu kept nodding at General Yang slightly.
The "small movements" between the two were accidentally captured by the nobles at the wine table.
Here's the deal!
It's a naked deal!
In the early years, General Yang had a red-clothed airship rewarded by the Su God of War, and General Yang regarded it as a treasure, but now he gave it to Su Yu without blinking!
This shows that General Yang definitely knows that Su Yu's trip can bring greater profits to the Yang Mansion!
What else can there be besides a lot of military exploits?!!
Oh, my God!
We know too late..... No, it's not too late!
The nobles howled in their hearts, and then made up their minds.
"Son, the Wang family is willing to contribute to the country, donating 3,000 gold and 1,000 domestic servants who can fight well for free!"
"Son, the Li family is also willing to contribute to the country, I want to donate five thousand gold coins for free!"
"Son, my Xu family donated 1,500 private soldiers free of charge!"
"Son, my family is willing to donate to you steel weapons and armor that are enough to equip five thousand people for free!"
"Son, my Wu family is willing to donate three hundred Wise Realm weapons to you free of charge!"
......
As the first nobleman stood up, many people couldn't sit still, and they all stood up and said solemnly to Su Yu.
For the sake of military merit, they fought thoroughly!
You must invest in Su Yu, this opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
As long as Su Yu succeeds, as long as some donations of materials by the nobles of Baiyang City are recorded on the merit book, there will be fewer military functions?
Although the bulk of this military exploit belongs to the Su Wangfu, the remaining soup and water are enough for the nobles present to move their current positions!
You must know that in addition to the title of real power, the promotion of ordinary nobles is just a sentence from His Majesty the Empire!
Look at the little eyes of these nobles at this time, serious and full of enthusiasm, it seems that they can't wait to fight for Su Yu in Heishi County and quell the chaos for the country!
In the blink of an eye, a group of nobles who are greedy for wealth and nobility have become good officials who worry about the country and the people!
No one noticed that General Yang, who was leisurely tasting alone with a wine glass on the side, had a smile and ridicule in his eyes.
A group of small people, the prince and the general only need to play a little trick to squeeze out your private belongings for many years!
