Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2726
"Duke Yue, this is absolutely inappropriate..."

"Um?!"

Fang Jun's eyes widened, and he said displeasedly: "Why, it's not that the Xiao family took the money for nothing, and refused to help His Royal Highness Wei Wang with such a little help? Heh heh, just now he was talking in a grand manner, but now Pushing back and forth, what is the intention of your Xiao family?"

Xiao Kai wanted to tell the difference, wanted to cry but had no tears, so he had no choice but to say: "His Royal Highness and Duke know that this matter is really up to me, so I have to go back and ask my father for instructions. Please forgive me, Your Highness and Duke." Day, I will reply later."

Fang Jun frowned, and said displeasedly: "This move is obviously a matter for the Xiao family to take advantage of. There are so many commodity breeding industries, most of which are priceless things, and you can't buy them if you want to buy them with money. Since His Royal Highness King Wei’s move to revitalize culture and education is so highly praised, His Royal Highness gave this good deed to the Xiao family after discussing it with a certain person. Brother Xiao ignored the good deed and instead pushed back and forth. Could it be that he has grudges against His Highness in his heart? Or, What Brother Xiao said before, were all random nonsense to deal with His Royal Highness Wei Wang?"

"Nothing!"

Xiao Qi was frightened into a cold sweat. His father sent him here this time because he was interested in his gentle personality and his usual gentleness. He could gain the understanding of King Wei and Fang Jun, so that the matter would not fall into a stalemate, which would be extremely detrimental to the Xiao family.

If it's because of myself that things get stiff...

"Mr. Mingjian of the State of Yue, this matter involves too much money and silk. It is a big matter. How dare I make a decision in vain? Please give me two days to go back and ask my father for instructions before replying."

He looked at Fang Jun with tears in his eyes, almost wanting to beg.

Li Tai couldn't see it from the side, and interjected: "What you said is somewhat reasonable, Erlang don't need to be in a hurry, it won't be too late to reply after you return to Jinling to ask for instructions, and we just happen to stay in Jiangnan for a few more days , to appreciate the local customs, customs, beauty and delicacy of the south of the Yangtze River, and this trip is not in vain.”

Xiao Qi was greatly relieved.

Although Li Tai's words were still full of guns and sticks, he finally didn't force himself to express his opinion at this moment, which was considered to have spared his life.

This is a kind person, much better than Fang Jun's stick...

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness. I will return to Jinling right now and give His Highness an answer as soon as possible."

After finishing speaking, he saluted Li Tai and Fang Jun respectively, took two steps back, turned around and walked out of the gazebo, walked quickly out of the manor, trotted into the carriage waiting at the door, and said to the coachman in a loud voice: "Hurry up to Dock, I want to board the boat and go back to Jinling to meet my father!"

"Here!"

The coachman didn't dare to hesitate, the whip whipped a whip flower in the air, and there was a crisp "pop", and the carriage quickly drove away in the drizzle.

……

"Is the persecution a little too much? The Xiao family is also your in-laws after all. Seeing that you dote on that concubine in the family, this move will inevitably create a estrangement in the Xiao family. When the time comes, the family will be troubled. It is really unnecessary. .”

Li Tai took a sip of his tea, expressing concern about Fang Jun's practice of putting a knife on the Xiao family's neck and forcing the Xiao family to fight against the entire Jiangnan gentry.

Fang Jun disagreed: "Everyone should be responsible for their own decisions. Since the Xiao family can keep silent and acquiesce in this matter, then they should have the consciousness of being backlashed. How can there be anyone in this world who only wants to make a decision?" Repaying something that has never been paid? The meat is delicious, but you must also know that it hurts when you are beaten. Furthermore, Your Highness must not underestimate the Xiao family. Those Jiangnan gentry call themselves brothers, but in fact they don’t treat themselves as equals. As long as they feel that the benefits are enough, or the losses are too great, they will not have much resistance to offending all the Jiangnan gentry.”

Li Tai thought for a while, and felt that Fang Jun's words made sense, but he still smiled wryly: "It's just that this approach is a bit sinister, isn't it afraid that the Xiao family will want to peel you, fry your bones, and throw it away to feed the dogs?"

Fang Jun smiled and said: "They are reluctant. Without Weichen, who can guarantee that they will always be at the forefront of all Jiangnan gentry in Haimao? The greater the interests of Haimao, the more serious their dependence and fear of Weichen , this time the attitude of the Xiao family is actually trying to struggle to see if they can get rid of the Weichen's control over the Jiangnan gentry over the sea trade. Play the role of 'in-law' well again, obey what you say, and never disobey."

Regardless of individuals or family members, the so-called relatives and blood relationship after a certain level are actually only serving their own interests. For the sake of interests, they would not even blink their eyes when they sacrificed their own children, let alone a mere in-law?

In-laws are used to reap benefits for themselves, not to create trouble for themselves or harm their interests...

So when the Xiao family felt that this in-law might be discarded in order to fight for more benefits, they naturally abandoned it like a shoe; Will also stand on the side of the in-laws without hesitation.

On the lake in the distance, a painted boat slowly docked in the drizzle. There were already many maids waiting there with umbrellas on the small pier. Even if there is a maid holding an umbrella to meet him.

The green lake is beautiful, the misty rain is misty, the green hills are like Daisy, and the people are more beautiful than flowers.

The looks of several princesses are all online. Even the youngest Princess Jinyang has delicate, pure and beautiful eyebrows and picturesque eyes. She wears beautiful clothes, bright oiled paper umbrellas on her head, and wooden clogs on her feet. beautiful picture scroll.

Behind him, a middle-aged man in military uniform quickly walked into the pavilion after being searched by several guards and took off his saber. After saluting, he said: "My next official Suzhou Sima Shen Wei, I have seen His Royal Highness the King of Wei and the Duke of Yue. , I have seen Consort Du."

Li Tai and Fang Jun all nodded their heads slightly, but Du He was upset.

He naturally dared not compare with Li Tai, but when Shen Wei called Fang Jun, he not only called out his title, but also had a serious expression on his face, which was enough to show his admiration and fear of Fang Jun, but when he called him Du He, Just a sentence "Du Concubine" gently passed...

I am also in my twenties, but now I can only be a son-in-law who can get the name of a son-in-law. If he doesn't seek to make progress, he will inevitably feel depressed.

I can't help but feel that there is nothing wrong with Princess Chengyang's lukewarm dislike for her. A big man relies on women to eat and drink, but he doesn't have any fame and achievements. How can she let her treat him What about taking a high look?

If she had the feats of Fang Jun, how would she dare to show off in front of her?
I'm just afraid that she can do whatever she wants, and she can use whatever posture she wants, and how can she want to make intimacy and perform grand gifts between husband and wife like she is now? It depends on people's eyes...

A man must not be powerless for a day!

Li Tai smiled and said: "So it's General Shen, come here, please drink a few cups like this."

Shen Wei hurriedly said: "Thank you Your Highness, I dare not overstep the distance!"

Then he said sternly: "The governor has an order, and ordered the officials to lead the soldiers of the Fuzhong County to guard the safety of His Highness. The officials have already ordered people to surround the perimeter of the manor here, and all idlers and others will be cleared away. The inside of the manor will be protected by His Highness's guards. , Outside the village, the lower officials will be on guard, combining inside and outside to ensure nothing goes wrong, please feel free to play, Your Highness, there will be no mistakes."

Li Tai nodded and said: "Let Governor Mu bother you, General Chen will be tired."

Shen Wei said: "It is the duty of the subordinate officials to protect His Highness's safety. I dare not be negligent, let alone take credit. The subordinate officials will resign for the time being. If Your Highness has any orders, you can send someone to the gate of the villa to convey them. The subordinate officials will do their best. , without excuse."

When Shen Wei left, Li Tai said to Fang Jun: "This man has an unruly personality, his eyes are gloomy, and he glanced at you several times during the conversation. It is obvious that he has grudges against the Shen family before. Erlang, be careful." For the first time, beware of this person who is secretly acting and has a heart to plan."

Fang Jun laughed and said: "Your Highness, some grass and trees are all soldiers, right? Those old guys in Guanlong who dare to murder the lives of humble officials in this world are nothing more than those old fellows in Guanlong. The gentry in Jiangnan definitely don't have the guts. As long as the humble minister loses a hair, they I can't eat enough to walk around. But just now I lost my face, and the Shen family is used to running amok, so I feel a little bit upset, it's only human."

If he had even the slightest damage, tens of thousands of sailors could turn the entire Jiangnan upside down, and whoever is crazy would dare to do that.
