In the Luang Temple, the Uto messenger Maninbu stood respectfully on the side, waiting for the entourage behind him to continually present gifts to the Emperor Wei.
A pomegranate tree made of gold, a pair of white peacocks, two ivory, and big shining stones with fists… Emperor Wen Xuan looked at it enthusiastically, his expression was very satisfied.
“This is the sincerity of the Utopian people to His Majesty.” Manning Bu’s respectful lowered body paid a big gift to Emperor Wenxuan.
Emperor Wenxuan felt very comfortable.
At first, the first emperor had several sons, and he was the most mediocre one, but because he was the eldest son and the prince, the first emperor passed the throne to him. After Emperor Wenxuan succeeded to the throne, he really did not make much achievements in political affairs as he did when he was a teenager. If Xu Jingfu had helped him, he might not even be able to sit on the throne.
For so many years, he was ambitious from the beginning, and later had to admit that he was an ordinary person, and then later thought it was not bad. From assuming the throne to the present, it finally did a beautiful thing and promoted the great Wei Guowei, which is enough to record the merits of history.
“You Utopia, who had previously waited for the opportunity to invade the land of the Wei Dynasty, how can you count this point?” Emperor Wen Xuan said in a deep voice.
Maningbu bowed his head in a panic: “Your Majesty, this is a misunderstanding. The national strength of the Utopia is weak. How to dare to compare with the Great Wei is to use the one hundred Utopia to be brave and not dare to invade. Just In the past, it is of no avail to go back and say everything. Not only these gifts, but the sovereign also please present a compensation for His Majesty.” He looked at Emperor Wen Xuan, “it is allowed to be a businessman in Utopia in Dawei Open a question in the territory.”
Emperor Wen Xuan frowned: “It’s clearly beneficial to you to set up a discussion field in the territory of Dawei. How did it become a reward? What a cunning Uto!”
The prince stood aside and said, “Father and Emperor, why not listen to what he said.”
Maningbu knelt down and said, “Your Majesty, the Utopians have no intention of invading the Great Wei. Opening a discussion field is also a great benefit to the Great Wei. Your Majesty remembered the historical records of the Ming Dynasty, who sent emissaries to the West. Yueguo opened a discussion field, and learned the horse-breeding technique from Xiyueguo. Later, he fought in the domestic war, and the cavalry was brave.” He paused. “If the people of Utopia are poor, if they can open a discussion field in Dawei, they will be the same as Dawei. Whether there is communication or not, Utopian nationals will no longer be able to live as usual as before. And every year the harvest in the field is discussed, Utopia is willing to dedicate 50% to His Majesty.”
If the wearing of a high hat in the front just comforted Emperor Wenxuan, he was still unimpressed. Manningbu’s last sentence was just the thought of the emperor.
You know, the treasury is empty in recent years. Because Huayuan and Run both fought, they spent a lot of money. Raising soldiers is very costly. Why did Emperor Wenxuan accept the peace of the Utopia? In addition to his dislike of war, he was also shy.
Fighting a battle, I do not know how long it takes to recuperate before recuperating. Besides, there is no money, how to fight? But now that the market is opened, 50% of the dividends can be received every year. As big as Wei, there are many Utopian businessmen… it sounds like a good deal.
Emperor Wenxuan subconsciously looked at Xu Jingfu on his side.
Xu Jingfu, he still trusted. If it was not Xu Jingfu’s support, he would not sit in this position for so many years.
Xu Jingfu only stood aside with a smile, and did not speak. Emperor Wen Xuan suddenly understood, and said, “I can accept the matter of reconciliation. However, setting up a discussion field is of great importance. I am the emperor of the great Wei, and I cannot respond to you casually. I still have to wait for my thoughts to be clear before I do it. reply.”
Maningbu was not disappointed, and knelt down gratefully: “Your Majesty Xie Renen.”
The Uto messenger behind him knelt down together and shouted long live the emperor. Emperor Wen Xuan was in a good mood, but the prince standing on one side was a little ugly. He glanced at Xu Jingfu, and his eyes were hard to hide.
After the Uto messenger left, only Xu Jingfu and the emperor remained in the hall. The inner servant on the side helped Emperor Wen Xuan to walk to the rear hall. Emperor Wen Xuan asked: “Xu Xiang thought, how about opening a discussion field in Da Wei?”
“Although Maningbu offered to dedicate 50% of the proceeds to His Majesty, the veteran believes that this matter should not be taken lightly.” Xu Jingfu said: “The confrontation with Utopia now is the great Wei prevailing and cannot be punished. The Uto people walked by holding their noses. And now it is said to be 50%, but the Uto people are cunning. At that time, if your income is concealed, it is difficult for your majesty to prove one by one. So, it is not time yet.”
Upon hearing this, Emperor Wen Xuan thought Xu Jingfu said something reasonable, nodded, and sighed: “Xu Xiang, now I can share my worries with me, and you alone.”
“I believe in you.”
Xu Jingfu smiled slightly, “It’s the responsibility of the servants to share the sorrow for His Majesty. The old minister deserves it, and he is willing to paint the liver and brain for His Majesty.”
…
When the prince returned to the mansion, he kicked the table in front of him arrogantly. The little maid around was startled and immediately knelt down, and no one dared to step forward. Only a red-handed maid walked out of it, walked beside him in spite of the prince’s rage, and said softly: “How can Your Highness lose your temper as soon as you return to your house, but you met a nasty person outside?”
Looking at the beauties on the side, when the entire mansion was feared by him, only this woman was not afraid of anything and walked as usual. But this fearlessness is not annoying, but it makes people feel that she is really caring about herself.
“It was a nasty person.” The crown prince took Yingxiang to the palace and said: “Xu Xiang, an old immortal, dare to spoil my good deeds!”
He sat down before the collapse, took a jug and poured a glass of wine, and calmed his anger. Ying Xiang snuggled in his arms and smiled: “Why is Xu Xiang again? Recently, just listening to slaves, Xu Xiang has been irritating His Highness for several days.”
“You’re right,” Guang Yan snorted. “The old immortal is now at his own age, and he has to intervene in the affairs of the palace. The palace looks at it, and it won’t take long for the backyard of the palace. You have to take care of it. I think God just thinks that he is too busy to do business.
The vicious words made Xiangxiang laugh, “giggling”, and stretched out his slim jade hand, took a sip of the wine in the hand of the prince, and smiled and said: “That’s naturally, like your Highness, it will definitely be more in the future.” Zi Duo Fu.”
“What are you implying in this palace?” Guang Yan pinched her face, and the beautiful woman evaded with a smile, making the anger in his heart unwittingly turned into lust. Someone said: “His Royal Highness, someone asks.”
“Who?” Guang Yan was disappointed and spoke impatiently.
“Mr. Maningbu, the Uto Messenger.”
The prince stunned, then put down the glass, frowned and waved, “Let him come in.”
Ying Xiang also stood up, sorted out her dress, stood up and followed the prince’s side.
Maningbu came in.
He is a typical Utopian, short and strong, and easy-going, but when his eyes roll, he looks a bit treacherous and cunning. He smiled and walked to the crown prince’s side, saluting: “His Royal Highness, let’s meet again.”
When the prince saw Maninbu, the restlessness in the temple was aroused a little, and he said, “Sit down.”
Maningbu sat down opposite the prince.
“You also saw the opening of the questioning field.” Guang Yan said: “It is not that this palace does not help you, this palace has done its best.”
Maningbu was still smiling, and he couldn’t see any annoyance at all. “His Royal Highness and the Lord of the Kingdom have already said it before, to help Utopia open a discussion in the Great Wei, and Utopia will help His Highness get everything he wants. Could it be…” He spoke slowly, “Hour Highness has given up that position?”
“Nonsense!” Guang Yan angered: “What do you know!”
“Now in the Great Wei Dynasty, there are not many people who secretly support the four princes. The prince and General Feng Yun have had a holiday, and the emperor Wei preferred the four princes… No matter what aspect, His Royal Highness is very unfavorable.”
The prince gritted his teeth and did not speak.
Although he occupies the position of the prince, as long as Emperor Wen Xuan did not set down the edict in one day, his prince would not be able to settle down in a day. It was easy to get Xiao Huaijin out of Shuojing. Unexpectedly, Jiyang battled him, but he got him a reputation again.
How to let Guangshuo’s soft egg take the throne?
“This is not the reason for His Royal Highness,” Ying Xiang mumbled, “It is Xu Xiang who is clearly blocking it. Our Highness is also very willing to help Utopia open a field in Dawei.”
Maningbu couldn’t help but looked up at the speaker, seeing the beautiful beauty of the maidservant in heaven, and couldn’t help but be shocked for a moment.
But soon, he recovered from the beauty, he said: “Xu Xiang? Xu Xiang has been obstructed frequently recently. When he was fighting in Jiyang, he just leaked the wind. His Royal Highness,” Maningbu Smiled: “Are you really sure, Xu Xiang is on your side?”
“What do you mean?” Guang Yan warned.
“It’s nothing,” Maningbu laughed. “He just thought that Xu Xiang was a wise man. Xiao Zhongwu died in the hands of Xu Xiang. As a wise man, he never exposes his cards to others. His Highness believes on what basis. , Xu Xiang’s support for His Royal Highness is really for His Highness?”
“You don’t want to provoke the relationship between this palace and Xu Xiang!” Guang Yan sneered: “Cunning Uto, how can this palace be fooled by you?”
“It doesn’t matter if your Highness doesn’t believe it.” Maningbu smiled. “However, let’s say one more thing below. If your Highness is only reluctant to deal with the connections and relationships in Xu Xiang’s hands, it’s not that he doesn’t care about Xu Xiang himself. It’s so difficult. Because…” Maningbu whispered: “Great Wei Shuojing, Xu Jingfu, are not the only ones who can help His Royal Highness, just as Xiao Zhongwu can be replaced by Xiao Huaijin, and Xu Jingfu can of course also be replaced by younger people. The same The methods and connections, young chicks, are easier to tune than the adult viper, right?”
Guang Yan looked at him thoughtfully, but Maningbu laughed and stood up, “His Highness don’t have to answer me too quickly. After a few days, when His Majesty is hosting a feast for the Uto messenger, he will reply. It’s not too late.” He ordered the entourage behind him, “Go back first and wait a few days to listen to the good news from your Highness.”
Maningbu left.
There were only Ying Xiang and Guang Yan left in the hall.
Guang Yan’s expression was uncertain, thinking of Mancai Fangcai’s words. Although at that time he said that he would not provoke the other party’s words, but in his heart, there was a trace of shaking.
Xu Xiang is a wise man. He has recently sang against himself in the matter of Uto people. He knows that if he does not do what Uto people say, he may have nothing, but he will do whatever he wants. I thought he was getting older and he didn’t adjust, but now… Guang Yan is uncertain.
Has Xu Xiang been bought by Guangshuo since a long time ago?
…
In the past few days, the He family was busy.
Bai Rongwei and Xiao Jing went to the door again a few days ago. He is talking about the relatives of He Yan and Xiao Jue. As we all know, at the celebration feast, Your Majesty gave Chu Zhao and Xu Pingting a marriage, He Yan and Xiao Jue gave a marriage, and Chu Zhao and Xu Pingting got married next month. The marriage period of Xiao Jue and He Yan, after Bai Rongwei asked the senior person to count, determined two days.
One is the seventh day of the New Year, and the other is the tenth day of the New Year.
He Yan is not in the house. Although he is an official with little real power, he still has to do things every day, although they are all chores. He Yunsheng frowned as soon as he heard Bai Rongwei’s words, and said, “Isn’t that just one month’s preparation time, is it too rushed?”
He Sui was also very happy. He Yunsheng said that he felt a bit wrong.
“Her two sons don’t need to worry,” Bai Rong said with a smile: “Huai Jin’s family affairs, in fact, Ru Bi and I have already prepared for him two or three years ago. It’s just that Huai Jin, the child who has never liked the girl, even if he is ready It can only be left. Now that His Majesty has given the marriage, Huai Jin likes the girl He very much, naturally there is no need to delay. The list of gifts, I will let the people in the house come tomorrow.”
“Two or three years ago?” He Yunsheng doubted, “You don’t even know who Xiao Dudu likes, how can you prepare for the gift?”
This time, Xiao Jing spoke, and Xiao Jing said earnestly: “In the Xiao family, the matter of marriage is not the highest or the lowest. As long as it is the girl Huai Jin likes, it must be the best. So there must be no shortage of gifts.”
“Yun Sheng can’t speak, don’t look down upon him.” He Sui glared at He Yunsheng. “We’re not too much of a gift. Yan Yan is my daughter. My wife died early, and Yan Yan was the one who pulled me. Yes, although our family is not wealthy, Yan Yan has been spoiled since childhood. I don’t care about it, just…” He looked at Bai Rongwei, who has always been easy-going and honest, a little more serious Chen Su, “The person my daughter marries will inevitably hurt her and love her, as I treat her. The gift is for others to see, and Yun and I can’t use a few dollars in my life. I don’t care, I care. It is Yan Yan’s life in the Xiao family.”
He smiled: “I’m a rough man and can’t speak. I know that the Xiao family’s status in Dawei is extraordinary. It’s our family Gao Pan, but… it’s not that I boast, looking at Dawei as a whole, my daughter is also unique. I thought I know…” His tone was sharply uncharacteristically, “When Yan Yan enters the house, Governor Du will accept the concubine. If so, I don’t mind waiting another one or two years to marry my daughter out, if not , 7th or 10th, I have no opinion.”
He Yunsheng looked at his dad in surprise.
He never looked down on He Sui’s good face for the Xiao family, and always felt as if he was catching up with others. Even though it was His Majesty who gave the marriage, He Yan was the girl’s family, of course she had to be restrained. If people feel that their He family is so good, wouldn’t they eat He Yan in the future? Not to mention these high-level gates, even if they live in the alleys of ordinary people like them, even if they live in a gap, they can hear rumors that the husband’s family is bullying the new wife.
He thought that He Sui would follow Grandma Xiao’s words, and soon agreed to the relationship between He Yan and Xiao Jue, but did not expect that He Sui’s problems were so acute.
Their family is poor, and He Sui marries a wife. Even after his wife’s death, he never thought of continuation and concubine. This is natural. He Yunsheng didn’t think there was anything wrong, but it was the case with poor families. It is not easy to feed an extra person. But the high-ranking households are different. He Yunsheng got himself in a school. Many of the classmates in the school have a good family, and there will be a few aunts in the government.
This is true of large households, not to mention noble children.
He Yunsheng did not think about this, but whenever he thought of this, he was deliberately avoided. Because His Majesty’s marriage is immutable, and this is the case in the world. It is normal for rich and powerful people to have three wives and four concubines. If not, the mistress will be scolded and jealous by others.
But now, He Sui didn’t cover it up, so he said it directly. And in this remark, if there is a threat that Xiao Jue dares to accept his concubine, he will not marry his daughter. What about Majesty’s marriage, and it’s not good to say, His Majesty is not too young now, He Yancai is just at the age of miraculous, and after a few years, everyone is gone.
As soon as the emperor and the courtier, who knows what it will be like tomorrow, rules, when you don’t have to choose, rules, and when you choose, it’s a fart!
Bai Rongwei and Xiao Jing looked at each other. After a while, Bai Rongwei smiled and said, “Master He laughed, Xiao family has never been concubine rules.”
“When the father-in-law was alive, there was no concubine in the house. I had a long relationship with Rubi, and there was no one between them. Huai Jinli should be like this.”
Xiao Jing also said: “Master He may have underestimated Huai Jin too much. It is because Girl He is the only woman in Da Wei that Huai Jin will deeply love her. Huai Jin’s temperament, I am a big brother It is clear that if one thing is determined, I will not look at the other one. I dare to take the entire Xiao family to swear, Huai Jin will have no other woman besides girl He in this life. If Master He can’t believe me, you can meet again. Ask Huai Jin again. But, he smiled and said: “Oath this kind of thing, people who fail to abide by their promises will still betray them. Those who truly promised, need not say, will also be in their hearts. “
He Yunsheng looked at Xiao Jing and secretly said in his heart, just as he defended He Yan. This Xiao Rubi, it seemed, also specially maintained Xiao Huaijin. The relationship between the two brothers is so good, the family style should be pretty good.
The two young masters of the Xiao family, one with Ruochunfeng, and one with luck like autumn water, are all among the people.
He Sui laughed: “No need, I can trust Master and Master, and trust Du Xiao. I have no opinion on the seventh or tenth day!”
Bai Rongwei also smiled, “That would be great, I will start writing posts today, so as not to delay the auspicious time.”
After discussing with He Sui about family affairs for a while, Bai Rongwei Cai and Xiao Jing got up and left. After the two of them left, He Yunsheng looked at He Sui and asked: “Dad, the eldest son Xiao Xiao just said, Xiao Dudu will not accept concubines in the future, do you think it is credible?”
He Sui said: “Five percent.”
“What?” He Yunsheng almost jumped up. “You didn’t just say, can you trust their brothers? You are so determined, I really believe it!”
“I didn’t grow up with them, and others like this, I just heard people say it. How do I know if they are telling the truth or not, Lu Yao knows that the horsepower has seen people’s hearts for a long time, I have only seen a few times, you are yours Does Lao Tzu read the mind?” He Sui scolded.
“then you……”
“I just want them to give a guarantee, and let the Xiao family know that although our family is poor and not an official family, our family is not easy to bully. If Yan Yan is wronged in their home, I will fight this Will not make them happy.”
“Come on,” He Yunsheng didn’t believe. “We fight together and we don’t necessarily move one finger.”
He Sui slapped him on the head, “How to make others want to destroy their prestige? When can I learn from your sister.”
“Learn what to learn, she will smile when she sees Xiao Dudu?” He Yunsheng sneered. “Besides, if Governor Du really wants to accept concubines in the future, we will jump up and down in this hurry, maybe He Yan’s heartlessness himself I don’t care, and I’m stupid to help the people.”
“She won’t.”
“what?”
He Sui lowered her head and smiled, “Yan Yan will not.”
“This child looks very arrogant, not bad-hearted, and sometimes a little stubborn. Xiao Rubi said that his younger brother wouldn’t look at one thing if he found something. Yan Yan was not so bad,” he said with nostalgia: “Take her to the market to pick up a skirt when she was a child. She must have the most beautiful one she likes. The one next to her is more expensive and better, and she doesn’t want it.”
“I said those words, I just wanted to scare Xiao’s family. Yan Yan really wants to marry, I won’t stop her. I can see that Yan Yan likes Xiao Huaijin, she looked at Xiao Huaijin’s eyes just like when your mother looked at me general.”
He Yunsheng was also moved by He Sui’s words. When he heard the last sentence, the color of the emotion immediately put away. He said bitterly: “Don’t talk about it anymore. Besides, He Yan is stubborn. Before, she didn’t like that surnamed Fan’s like to die or live. Now she hasn’t seen her mention this person again.”
There is another saying that He Yunsheng didn’t dare to say that when Fan Cheng died at that time, He Yan was like a dead ant by the side of the road without tears.
He Sui: “Can that be the same? Fan’s surname is not human.”
He Yunsheng: “…”
