But Qian Qianyi and Shi Kefa didn't dare to attack, now King Fu and King Lu are in the hands of the Wu family's father and son, who they want to support, they all have the final say, and they all rely on these two people at this time.

With the sound of fine footsteps, the two maidservants opened the curtain, and saw two long-bodied beauties walking out, these two fair-skinned and good-looking, with their hands folded at their waists, their knees bent, and they saluted, saying, "Three great blessings, the slave family is unwelcome." ”

Wu Xiang looked carefully and found that these two women were extraordinary, and they were already young women of Huaxin, so they had a different taste. The one named Bian Yujing, dressed with light makeup, cold and lonely, makes people involuntarily have a desire to conquer, Li Xiangjun is graceful and luxurious, quite charming, seductive, the two stand together, like a lotus, I can't tell which one is good and which one is bad.

"Good, good, good!" Wu Xiang high-fived and praised.

"Two, don't you want to toast Lord Wu?" Qian Qianyi said.

The maidservant girl brought a warm osmanthus wine syrup, and the two poured wine to entertain them, and drank a cup of their own, each with good manners.

After that, the maidservant girl brought wine and food, the three of them sat down to eat, and gossiped with the two daughters for a while, and Wu Xiang made a statement to let the second daughter retreat.

Qian Qianyi and Shi Kefa are both a little confused, Wu Xiang asked for a woman as soon as he came, and the woman arrived, but she didn't look lascivious, which was really unpredictable.

"Lord Wu, these two are famous strange women in Jiangnan, you let them step down, but you are a little contemptuous." Qian Qianyi said.

Wu Xiang was born in a merchant and later became an official, so he didn't have so many ways, but just said: "Women are women, and when we talk about big things, we naturally let them step down." Mr. Qian, please come forward and redeem yourself for these two daughters, I will bear all the expenses, I have a lot of use for these two daughters. ”

"Redemption? Lord Wu laughed, and he was not a person in the hook bar, so he couldn't talk about redemption. People came forward to accompany him this time, not to sell Mrs. Qian's face, not to do things with money. Shi Kefa said.

Next, the two of you said a word to me, and told the story of these two girls.

Li Xiangjun's original surname is Wu, born in a family of eunuchs, persecuted by the eunuchs, only to fall into the dust, in this Meixianglou as a singer, especially good at Nanqu, and the guests of this Meixianglou are all literati, or eunuchs, so Li Xiangjun got acquainted with Hou Fangyu, the fourth son of the Fushe, and became married, and because of Ruan Dacheng's gift, there is a story of blood-spattered peach blossom fan.

Later, because of Ruan Dacheng's revenge, Hou Fangyu avoided seclusion, and Li Xiangjun appeared in Meixianglou again.

And Bian Yujing got along with Wu Meicun of Jiang Zuosan's family, but they separated due to a misunderstanding, and later married a child of the family.

Shi Kefa and Qian Qianyi told the story of the two daughters, hoping that Wu Xiang would know the talents and personalities of the two of them, and not regard them as courtesans, but when Wu Xiang heard about it, he was even more surprised, and said in his heart, these two daughters are not only beautiful, but also have quite a story, and they are even more useful.

"So, the two of you can't decide where these two girls belong?" Wu Xiang asked.

"That's nature." Qian Qianyi said.

Wu Xiang nodded and called out in a loud voice: "Hasnuer, come in." ”

A short and stout man came in, knelt on the ground, his braided hair and thin eyes were very different from ordinary people, the Mongolian soldiers of the Wu family, Wu Xiang in front of the two of them, told Hasnuer to call all the guards and arrest the two women to the boat.

"Lord Wu, what are you doing here?" Shi Kefa stood up directly, he was still the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, how could he allow Wu Xiang to do such illegal things.

Wu Xiang said: "Don't think that I am a good woman, I am really of great use to these two women." It is to be given as a gift, and if it does not please that person, how can he support King Lu as the new king? ”

"Who the hell are you talking about?" Qian Qianyi asked.

Wu Xiang said lightly: "I think Mr. Qian saw it when he was in Songjiang, it was Li Zhaoji of the Oriental Trading Company. ”

"It's him, isn't he Shen Youlong's person?" Qian Qianyi can't forget that when he was in Songjiang that day, Li Zhaoji made a lot of nonsense in front of so many people, making himself lose face, but he never thought that Li Zhaoji would be involved in this matter.

Wu Xiang said: "That Mr. Li is not a person, he is a businessman, and he seeks wealth and profit. Although Shen Youlong was kind to him, he had restrictions on his trading company. And my Wu family is good friends with him, so there is this cooperation.

might as well tell the two of you that King Lu and King Fu are in his hands. ”

"A Nanyang barbarian dares to ........" At the moment, Fan had also heard of Li Zhaoji, and exclaimed in surprise, but he was held down by Qian Qianyi.

Qian Qianyi said: "Lord Wu, what you did is right, even if Li Zhaoji is not the one who controls King Fu and King Lu, we should win him over." ”

Qian Qianyi knows very well that Li Zhaoji has a strong maritime force, and now the key to supporting King Fu is to send the elite of Liaozhen from western Liaoning to Jiangnan, and Li Zhaoji controls the sea.

"Master Shi, don't forget, Li Zhaoji is Shen Youlong's person." Qian Qianyi said another meaningful word to Shi Kefa.

Whether it is Shi Kefa or Qian Qianyi, they know very little about Li Zhaoji, and they are very disdainful of his identity as a businessman, the two of them will not think that Li Zhaoji has done such a big thing alone, the two think that it must be Shen Youlong After going north, he knew the news of the capital, and immediately sent Li Zhaoji south to Huai'an and robbed King Fu and others.

Shen Youlong didn't do it himself, because he was afraid that he would be involved after the defeat, so he let Li Zhaoji become a white glove, and Li Zhaoji was a businessman, and after the matter was completed, he sold these princes at a high price in Liaozhen.

If Li Zhaoji knew that these two people despised him, he would definitely not care, on the contrary, he would be very happy.

The two knew that Wu Xiang robbed Li Xiangjun and Bian Yujing in order to win over Li Zhaoji, so naturally they didn't say anything, for the sake of power, they didn't want to sacrifice two women who didn't want to be locked up, Qian Qianyi thought about it, and said to Wu Xiang: "Lord Wu, since the second daughter is so important, you robbed it, and the old man just asked." It's just the same, you can't let this Tartar guard do it, you still have to be clean. ”

Wu Xiang was puzzled, and Shi Kefa explained for Qian Qianyi: "Lord Wu, Mr. Qian's wife is familiar with these two daughters. Although these two daughters will return to Li Zhaoji in the future, they will also enjoy endless glory and wealth, and they will not be treated badly, but in the future, if you are not reliable, Mr. Qian will not have a good time at home recently. ”

Wu Xiang then remembered that it seemed that Li Zhaoji had said that the most famous woman in Jiangnan was named Liu Ruyi, and she was already married to Qian Qianyi.

"Okay, then I'll reschedule. Get out, Hasnuer. Wu Xiang instructed his subordinates.

Shi Kefa shook his head slightly: "That's it, a good person will do it to the end and send the Buddha to the west." Lord Wu, you don't have to make arrangements, tonight, some people will go to your house to look for you, they are all people who can do things, you give some money, they will do it for you. ”

As soon as Wu Xiang heard Shi Kefa's words, he knew that this was to let the local underworld come forward to do things, and he only paid for it, so he was also very satisfied, so he responded.

"The latest news I received, the elite soldiers of Liaozhen have been moving towards Jeju, and they are ready at any time, as long as our side is confirmed, King Lu will be escorted to Nanjing by the elite soldiers of Liaozhen. It's just that there are some things that we have to decide in advance. Wu Xiang said.

Qian Qianyi smiled slightly and said, "Lord Wu, what did His Royal Highness King Lu promise you?" ”

In fact, Qian Qianyi also knew that Wu Sangui had never seen King Lu, and the real purpose of his saying this was to ask, what benefits did he Wu Xiang want to get in supporting the new monarch, and asking this way was to make everyone get by on face, after all, those benefits of the Wu family were the grace of the new monarch.

Wu Xiang said: "The first emperor has already named my son as an uncle, and this time he will support the new monarch, so he will naturally go further." His Royal Highness King Lu was generous, taking my Wu family as the pillar, and promised that after the matter was completed, my father and son would be named dukes, and the hereditary replacement. ”

Qian Qianyi and Shi Kefa's faces changed, and the ambition of the Wu family was too big, and they wanted two dukes at once.

"What about the rest?" Shi Kefa stepped on Qian Qianyi's foot under the table, signaling him not to attack, and to understand all the ambitions of the Wu family before discussing.

Wu Xiang also said: "The factions in Liao Town are complex, such as generals such as Gaodi, they also need to be knighted, whether it is an earl or a marquis, everyone is sincere, and the new monarch should be rewarded."

The second is that this time to support the new monarch, you must be able to escort the Son of Heaven to Nanjing, and the two must agree, except for the Ministry of Lord Shi, the rest of the powerful generals and nobles cannot participate. Of course, after the deed is completed, the new monarch can also be knighted as a consolation, but they are not allowed to participate directly.

Among the nobles, there is only one benefactor of the Son of Heaven, and that is my Wu family. ”

Qian Qianyi couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Master Wu, your request is too much. Although the towns of Jiangbei supported King Fu, there were still Zheng families in Fujian who could ....... ”

"Zheng Zhilong also supports King Fu." Wu Xiang directly interrupted Qian Qianyi, and he said, "You should know that Zheng Sen is at Shen Youlong's place, and Shen Youlong supports King Fu. What kind of person is Zheng Zhilong, Mr. Qian should be more clear, do you think he will risk confrontation with Jiangbei Zhuzhen and Shen Youlong to support you in supporting His Royal Highness King Lu?

If you insist that Zheng Zhilong supports King Lu, please ask Mr. Qian to come up with evidence, even if it is just a letter from Zheng Zhilong, I will believe it. ”

Qian Qianyi's face changed greatly, these days, he and Zheng Zhilong have been exchanging secret letters, and he has been persuading, but Zheng Zhilong has not given even a quasi-letter, and now let him come up with evidence, he really can't take it out, and Wu Xiang is very right, Zheng Zhilong's dog guarding the household, even if he doesn't participate, he won't take risks.

Shi Kefa coughed lightly: "Even if Fujian is uncertain, Lord Wu's requirements are excessive, our Daming has always ruled the world with scholars, if it is Hulai, I am afraid that the gentry will repeat." ”

Wu Xiang smiled, clapped his palms and said, "Master Shi and Mr. Qian are worried that my father and son will be Cao Cao and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, right?" Hehe, in the end, you are full of poetry and books, and you speak so well, which means this, but it is not annoying. ”

Wu Xiang directly said it thoroughly, so that Shi Kefa didn't know how to answer for a while. Wu Xiang said: "My Wu family knows that although it is said that it is necessary to rely on swords and soldiers to support the new monarch, but the court will act in the future, and it is not possible to use soldiers, so it still depends on the two."

Therefore, the two of you can rest assured that my Wu family categorically has no intention of being Cao Mengde. The next conditions, you will understand after listening. ”

"Oh, please tell me more about it."

Wu Xiang said: "This is the first, that is, in the future, I will stay in the capital, as a noble to participate in the affairs of the imperial court, the first emperor asked me to supervise the affairs of the Beijing camp, in the future I should naturally be in Nanjing to supervise the Beijing camp, and I brought 3,000 Liao soldiers, will become the new monarch's guard."

Second, our Liao Town will not be withdrawn, although the thieves occupy the north, but my Liao Town soldiers and horses are all Liao people, the soldiers and horses alone are 50,000, plus family members, no less than 300,000, if you count the people involved, there are more. We can't move the whole of Liao Town to Nanjing.

Therefore, in the future, my son will be thrown in Ningyuan to preside over the military affairs of Guanning, and after the new monarch ascends the throne, he will provide me with 2 million silver and 800,000 stone per year for Liaozhen, I don't know what the two of you think? ”

Although Wu Xiang's price was very high, Shi Kefa and Qian Qianyi did not feel that it was too much, and the fact that Liaozhen did not withdraw alone showed sincerity.
