Chapter Forty-Six: Simon Aolong
"Little Leaf."
Li Yuan summoned Xiao Yezi, who was standing at the door and waiting, to come in.
"Your Highness, please command."
Xiao Yezi said respectfully.
Li Yuan looked at his personal little eunuch, showed a kind expression, and said in a loud voice, the voice was enough to come out of the lobby:
"Xiao Yezi, you take ten soldiers to the princess's mansion to get money, and then go to the Mo Zhifu Mansion, and say that the princess of Chu asks the king to reward the meritorious people who have suppressed bandits along the way, you go and ask the Mo Zhifu, what positions can be rewarded."
"Yes."
Two hours later, when Xiao Yezi returned to the palace of the king of Chu, sure enough, the news that the king of Chu would reward the meritorious people who had made meritorious contributions to the bandits had reached the ears of those who cared about it.
In the mansion, Mo Zhifu walked back and forth in the lobby with his hands behind his back, his mood was changeable, and his face was sometimes gloomy.
The staff behind him analyzed:
"My lord, the King of Chu's reward to the princess of Chu was indeed beyond our expectations, but I heard that the princess of Chu handed over all the money and property of the bandits to the king of Chu, so the king of Chu reluctantly agreed."
"Since the King of Chu notified the adults in advance, he obviously took the adults to heart."
A staff member squinted his eyes, couldn't see his expression, and said coldly: "But it can be seen that Princess Chu is indeed ambitious, and she wants to meddle in officialdom on the first day she came." ”
"We can give them a couple of small positions that don't matter."
Mo Zhifu stopped walking, and his majestic tone sounded:
"No, the first time His Highness came to Lingyang Mansion to reward meritorious righteous people, how can he send it casually, this is the meaning of His Highness's notice to this official in advance."
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he seemed to have guessed what the King of Chu wanted to do.
"This official must not only give a large enough position, but also a position of real power!"
"Go, write out the officials who are close to the Ximen family during this time, and send this list to the Chu Wangfu tonight!"
"This ......"
The three staff members raised their heads suddenly, and looked at Mo Zhifu in shock, did the adults stand in line so quickly?
"Haha." Mo Zhifu shook his head and smiled, stopped speaking, and left with his hands.
Originally, he also wanted to see what kind of person King Chu was, but based on this one thing, Mo Zhifu already knew that this King of Chu would not let him down.
He is the prefect of Lingyang Mansion, and he is not loyal to the King of Chu, who is he loyal to!
The staff members who stayed in place behind them were at a loss for what to do, and they looked at each other blankly......
…………
There are five major families in the capital, and there are clansmen in the government and military affairs in the capital, and the three major forces have been recruiting them.
The Lu family is the strongest of the five major families, and the head of the Lu family, Lu Changming, is the same governor of the capital, the deputy of the prefect, and second only to Mo Ziyan in civil affairs.
The eldest son, Lu Yuanhua, is one of the lieutenants of the Dufu City Guard.
In the military of Lingyang Mansion, the highest military attache was the commander Chen Wei.
There are 60,000 people guarding the capital city guard, and the commander Chen Wei has two lieutenants under his command, and there are two lieutenants under the captain.
Lu Mansion, inside an antique house.
"Father, Chu Qingyan is really not good, she wants to meddle in the civil official position on the first day, and when she stays for a long time, she will also intervene in the army!" Lu Yuanhua's eyes flickered with a cold color.
"Hehe, not only that, Chu Qingyan was born in the Zhenguo Mansion, and his proficiency in military affairs is far better than that of you, once he intervenes in the army, I'm afraid it won't take long to wait for you."
With a chuckle, a man in a white shirt stepped into the hall, with a gentle temperament and a hint of arrogance between his eyebrows, it was Ximen Aolong!
A beautiful woman walked in with a smile on her face.
During this time, Ximen Aolong's biggest gain was to subdue the Lu family.
Lu Changming's unsmiling expression saw Ximen Aolong walk in, his calm expression softened, and he said gently to the woman next to Ximen Aolong:
"Qingyan, can you have fun playing with Ximen Gongzi today?"
Lu Qingyan, Lu Changming's youngest daughter.
When Lu Qingyan heard this, she glanced at the handsome Ximen Aolong next to her, her cheeks flushed, and she quickly lowered her head and said:
"Well, Ximen Gongzi is very ...... It was nice and had a great time. ”
Lu Yuanhua next to him showed a friendly smile and sent her out: "That's good, you go down first, my father and I still have to discuss some things with Ximen Gongzi." ”
"Yes!"
Lu Qingyan quickly glanced at Ximen Aolong, and saw him looking at him with a smile, so she ran away shyly.
Ximen Aolong saw Lu Qingyan's shadow and smiled at Lu Changming:
"Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely treat Qingyan well in the future and will not let her be wronged."
"Well, it is a blessing for Ximen Gongzi to be able to see Qingyan."
Lu Changming must not be worried about his youngest daughter, even if she marries Ximen Aolong and is a concubine.
Soon he turned the topic back and said in a light tone:
"I didn't expect Chu Qingyan to make a move so quickly, and King Chu actually agreed to her."
Lu Yuanhua sneered: "I heard that the King of Chu received the money from Chu Qingyan to suppress the bandits, and we are not merciless in collecting money along the way, and we are very greedy for money!" ”
"Greedy for money," Simon Aolong smiled, smiling gently:
"Isn't it a good thing for us that the King of Chu is greedy for money?"
"Haha, of course it's a good thing, I'm still afraid that King Chu won't get in the oil and salt!" Lu Yuanhua laughed, showing a touch of contempt for Li Yuan in his eyes.
It's good to be greedy for money, it's good to be greedy for money!
Anything that can be solved with money is not a matter for their family.
Today, I can help Chu Qingyan insert into officialdom for money, and tomorrow I can help them for money!
"Now that Chu Qingyan has stretched out his claws, Master Ximen, how do you think we need to solve them?"
Lu Changming's deep eyes were very calm, and his tone was full of confidence.
Ximen Aolong's eyes showed a hint of murderous intent: "Mo Ziyan has always been loyal to the imperial court, he will definitely agree to the order of the King of Chu to let them enter the officialdom, which is just convenient for us."
It is difficult for us to cut off the claws that are put away, and since Chu Qingyan stretched the claws into his uncle's bowl and cut off the claws, wouldn't it be easy. ”
Hearing Ximen Aolong talk about Mo Ziyan, Lu Changming's eyes showed a cold light, Mo Ziyan was loyal to the imperial court, as long as he was still there, the position of prefect could not be his own.
Well, only get rid of him!
With the support of the Simon family, the position of the future prefect must be his own!
Ximen Aolong noticed the change in Lu Changming, and the smile in his eyes deepened.
Chu Qingyan is just a fool!
I'll give you a good lesson, so that you know what the three major forces in Lingzhou are.
…………
And the other families also learned the news, lamenting that Chu Qingyan was ambitious, and also issued an order, that is, to prepare a generous gift to visit the king of Chu tomorrow.
