Chapter Seventy-Four: Ripples
The Osawada clan has been guarding the Seven Star Tower for two hundred years, and the harvest is gradually not as good as before, and there are many examples of returning empty-handed. But this time, it is said that the stars are in full bloom and it is the year of radiance. Among them, there are longevity treasures born. The news is half-true and half-false, coming out from within the Tian family, and fifty percent of them ......are reliable" Chong Xuansheng leaned back on a special chair and said quite seriously: "That's the way it is. ”
With the vastness of the territory of Qi Kingdom, the cultivation resources can be called abundant, and the various secret realms are also considerable.
For example, the Tianfu Secret Realm is completely under the control of Qi Ting. Even relying on this place, Tianfu City was established.
And the Seven Star Tower is also one of the famous secret realms of Qi State. It's just that this secret realm belongs to the Osawa clan, and it can be said that the Osawada clan relied on this secret realm to start.
After years of strife and compromise, the current Seven Star Building still belongs to the Tian clan, but it needs to open up most of the places and allow others in Qi to participate.
Historically, every few years or decades, when the Seven Star Tower has a concentrated burst of treasures, it is called the "Year of Glory". But there is no pattern.
The last few openings have been mediocre, and the attraction of the Seven Star Tower is not as good as before.
This "Year of Radiance" is said to have been the result of divination by a mysterious diviner. The Tian family tried their best to cover it up, but the news finally came out.
The so-called longevity treasures are actually inconspicuous in the harvest of the so-called "Glorious Year", because although the harvest in the Seven Star Building is varied, I have never heard of any outstanding longevity enhancement things.
What really attracts attention is actually the birth of a treasure involving the secrets of the outer building. But what it is, whether it really exists, no one can say, in short, it is spread mysteriously, and all kinds of news are flying all over the sky.
There is no doubt that for Jiang Wang now, the longevity treasure is very attractive. Especially in addition to longevity fruit and longevity pills. He very much needs longevity treasures to make up for his life limit and make up for his regrets, so as to make great strides forward.
Kueiin and his entourage made him aware of his regrets, and for the sake of long-term planning, he has been paying attention to this news recently. Chong Xuansheng is also helping him collect, but this kind of thing is hard to come by.
"It's fifty percent ......reliable," Jiang Wang thought for a while, "There's no need to make a trip." ”
Chong Xuansheng glared at him: "Who can say what can appear in the Seven Star Tower? ”
"I can't even tell what I can......"
"I know what you're thinking. Chong Xuansheng interrupted him: "Do you think that without you, this son will not be able to play? Are you too inflated, surnamed Jiang? Your weight, no matter how much you swell, you can't reach me!"
Jiang Wang felt moved and amused: "Yes, yes, of course you can have fun." You're so round, you can make more than a dozen turns in one turn!"
Chong Xuansheng was choked for a moment, and couldn't help but look at Fourteen: "Look at what he looks like now." Where did the simple boy who was not good at words go? Now he spends his money in the garden every day. ”
"Hmph. He said indignantly: "Xu Gaoyi is really a black sheep, and it is a disaster!"
Jiang Wanggang wanted to fight back, "I didn't learn it from you", but Chong Xuansheng had already taken Xu Xiangqian to block the opening. The bickering skill is really not covered.
I don't know if Xu Xiangqian will sneeze or not.
"Blame him, blame him. Jiang Wang gave up gaining the upper hand on his lips and became serious: "Are you really okay?"
Chong Xuansheng smiled confidently: "You go to the vegetable market now, and talk to an aunt casually." She can remind you that the Treasure Chamber of Commerce is going to be gone soon, don't buy anything from their Chamber of Commerce, in case these people go crazy before they die. You say, do I have a problem?"
Jiang Wang looked at Fourteen again, Fourteen's expression was forever hidden under the heavy armor, but he nodded slightly.
The Jubao Chamber of Commerce has been "alive" again during this time, and the activities in all aspects are very intense. But those real head-to-head relationships are "wisely" silent. The rest of those who were moved by Chongli were also suppressed by Chongxuansheng and the Four Seas Business Alliance.
Wang Yiwu has expressed his confidence in the Jubao Chamber of Commerce many times, but he is not good at management and has not been able to come up with any tangible resources to support the Jubao Chamber of Commerce. Just a statement is useless, and it is almost the same to change the military god Jiang Mengxiong to express this state - and this is simply impossible.
If Jiang Mengxiong was willing to come forward to help Wang Yiwu express this attitude, Chongxuanzun's side might have mastered the Chongxuan family a long time ago, and it would not be Chongxuan's turn to win, and the situation in front of him would not happen at all......
All in all, in the competition between Chongxuanzun and Chongxuansheng, Wang Yiwu could not use the resources of the Generalissimo Mansion at all, except for the identity of a disciple of the military god that he could not erase.
Leave that aside.
When the rumors evolved into a "consensus", the collapse of the Jubao Chamber of Commerce was already in the signs.
......
A pebble was thrown into the lake, and the sound passed quickly, but the ripples caused by it trembled for a long time and a long time......
The palace of Daqi is magnificent and majestic, covering an extremely wide area.
Among them, Shouning Palace is the residence of the Empress of Daqi.
He Fu was summoned, and he didn't dare to delay at all, and hurriedly entered the palace. He is the younger brother of the current Empress He and the only relative of the Empress outside. The relationship between the siblings used to be very close.
Entering the hall, He Fu first respectfully bowed and worshipped, and the whole process was meticulous, even if the ceremonial official was on the side, it was difficult to find a mistake.
The queen also sat on the phoenix chair and was silent.
One worship and one sitting, one minister and one lord.
A younger brother, a younger sister.
The elder sister is still in her prime, but the younger brother has already had a lot of life.
After a set of great gifts, the queen raised her hand and commanded, "Give me a seat." ”
The two ladies lifted out a seat and placed it on the side below.
He Fu saluted and thanked him, and sat down.
The queen waved her hand again, and the palace maids withdrew one after another, without making a sound during the whole process.
Only a personal female officer was left to stand on the side and wait.
"I don't know what the queen is calling?" He Fu asked.
At this time, the queen's voice had a hint of warmth: "I haven't seen my brother for a long time, is the family safe?"
"There is no profit, so there is only filial piety. He Fu's voice was a little muffled.
There was some resentment in these words.
With the current status of the He family, it is not difficult for He really to have a career. He didn't need any talent at all. There is not even a need for the queen to do anything at all.
As long as she doesn't stop it, she acquiesces.
But the queen stopped.
The attitude is very resolute.
So much so that He Futang's uncle now has no position. In his early years, he still had some ambitions, thinking about a great future, but after being persuaded by the queen, his mind faded. In the end, there is no shortage of glory, food and clothing are worry-free, and it will be over.
But his son He Zhen, who is six in his Chinese New Year's Eve, has also achieved nothing.
He was able to get used to this, to endure this. But after enduring it for so long, his son should still do this.
This matter made him very resentful, he used to go to the palace to see the queen every once in a while, and he never broke the gift during the New Year's Festival, and he was always concerned about his sister's preferences.
Since then, he has rarely entered the palace, and even has not been summoned.
Compared with He Fu, who is already old, Queen He's face seems to be only thirty, with a good appearance, and she is more graceful.
Hearing Uncle Guo say this, he just smiled warmly: "Children, filial piety is the first thing." ”
After all, this statement is reasonable, and it can only be understood after becoming parents.
In addition, my sister persuaded her with the dignity of the queen. It's not good to be a younger brother, and it's always cold.
He Fu softened his face and said, "What my sister said is true." The prince is filial, which is also known to the world. If I can really have half his cousin, I will be satisfied. ”
"Zhen'er is also a good boy...... the queen paused, and said: "As an aunt, I wronged him." ”
He Fu said movingly: "If my sister can have this sentence, he will not be wronged." ”
The queen nodded, and said as if unintentionally: "Is there a person named Cao Xing under your hands?"
He Fu was shocked in his heart: "Yes...... But what did he do?"
What did Cao Xing, who should be killed, commit? It went straight to heaven and even the queen knew about it!
My heart suddenly turned over and over, and it was difficult to hide the panic.
"Not really. The queen shook her head slightly, looking at her brother's already very old face: "He seems to be on a temporary position in the Treasure Chamber of Commerce?"
“...... Be. ”
Cao Xing is the honorary elder of the Jubao Chamber of Commerce, and no matter his cultivation, talent, or skill, he has nothing to praise in himself.
But the reason why he can become the honorary elder of the Jubao Chamber of Commerce is because he represents He Fu and represents the uncle of the Great Qi Kingdom.
"Let him get out. The queen said.
Although he had a hunch in his heart, when he really heard this, He Fu still subconsciously grabbed the handrail, so as not to let himself lose his temper too much.
In order to avoid suspicion, there are no officials and no positions in the He Mansion.
As a relative of the emperor, it is natural to have no worries about food and clothing. But in the circle of Linzi aristocrats, is it enough to have no worries about food and clothing?
What to do without spending money, and where can I save money?
The silver of the white flowers flowed like water.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Cao Xing is responsible for at least half of the expenses of He Fu.
"Is that rumor true? Your Majesty is really ...... Jubao"
The queen raised her hand to stop his words: "Your Majesty's thoughts, how can you and I speculate?"
He Fu was anxious: "But!"
"No, but. The Queen's voice was still gentle, but it had an unquestionable majesty.
She is He Fu's sister, but she is also the queen mother of Daqi.
Seeing He Fu's face full of loss, Queen He eased up a little: "Wuhua is your nephew, you have to think more about him." You can't take the slightest risk. ”
"You...... You...... Can't you help with a word?"
The queen looked at him quietly and did not answer.
Silence is the most resolute answer.
"But, Queen. He Fu's face was ugly: "This is the way that the grass people finally found." How is it good to go up and down in the back house, and people eat and chew horses? The entire Qi country will be unpretentious in the future, and his cousin and uncle will have to live in poverty?"
"If the man continues to eat, the horse will not have to chew. If you say that you are poor, then you are poor. ”
The queen said so.
