Fengmou Jiangshan

Chapter 161

Gu Qinghua laughed, and talked to him for a while, then smiled and told the Minister of Rites, Prince Li, Prince Cheng'en, Minister of Honglu Temple, etc. to host a banquet and entertain the envoy well, and they must not be neglected.

So far, there is not much to say.Come to make acquaintance, then leave the lower hall.

With the arrival of this letter of credence and the friendly exchanges with the envoy, the tense atmosphere of war between the two countries disappeared immediately.Secretly, some people were greatly relieved, while others were disappointed.

After retiring from the court, Liu Jia rushed to Zichen Palace to ask to see something.Gu Qinghua felt a little strange, and ordered to spread the word immediately.

Unexpectedly, when Liu Jia entered the Zichen Palace, he was still hesitating to speak for a long time.Gu Qinghua didn't put much effort into perfunctory him, so he frowned involuntarily, and glared at him impatiently.

"Your Majesty," Liu Jia shrank his pupils in fright, licked his dry lips, and reminded bravely, "Since there is no war in the north, then, is the 300 million silver—"

Only then did Gu Qinghua suddenly realize: So, he came to beg for money!
"Oh," Gu Qinghua responded lightly, and said lightly: "The frontier soldiers are also working hard, since the money has been transferred, let's forget it. Although there is no war right now, we must be vigilant, and the fortifications must be stepped up. The horses and weapons should be added, and 300 million taels may not be enough..."

Liu Jia trembled, and swallowed half of the words he was about to say abruptly.He originally wanted to say, forget about the 180 million taels that have already been transported away, and hold down the remaining 120 million taels for now?Listening to Gu Qinghua's situation, it's fine not to add more, how can I intercept it?
He hurriedly changed his words, complained a series of hardships, and admitted that the 300 million taels had been squeezed out between his teeth, and no more would be enough!
Gu Qinghua smiled and nodded understandingly: "In that case, let's allocate the 300 million taels for now! It's not easy to be a family member, Liu Aiqing is very careful and loyal to his duties, I am very pleased!"

"This is the job of the minister, Your Majesty's absurd praise!" Liu Jiagong replied in a respectful voice, and slowly retreated.

Gu Qinghua couldn't help but sighed softly, it's really not easy to get some money from the household department!Fortunately, Gu Fengqing left her a windfall, otherwise, the shortage of money alone would be enough to restrict many people.It is even more difficult to win this battle!

King Cheng'en was shocked by the news brought by Mu Tiannan, and then his mind became active again.Rescuing Ge Shuyu at the beginning was because of the potential of future cooperation and complementarity, but who knew that Gu Qinghua acted first, and the news that Ge Shuyu's side-husband died was announced to the world, which was equivalent to completely cutting off Ge Shuyu's return to the country. Lu——Even if he is alive, he will not have the status and power of the "second prince" of Geshu Kingdom, and he will be useless to King Cheng'en County at all!
King Cheng'en was very aggrieved and disappointed. Although he still helped Ge Shuyu escape from Zhaifeng City, he didn't think he could do anything else.Unexpectedly, Ge Shuyu was really extraordinary. After returning to the country, he did not know what kind of tricks he used to survive under a different identity. Moreover, he established such a huge influence in a short period of time.

The King of Cheng'en County deliberated before and after, and like Gu Qinghua, he believed that the eighth brother Shufu was Ge Shuyu, otherwise, it would be a bit unreasonable for this brother Shufu to appear all of a sudden!Only if he is Ge Shuyu, who quickly received Ge Shuyu's confidant power, can he rise overnight, and Chen Bing's northern border is undoubtedly a kind of catharsis and provocation, otherwise he can't vent his anger from the bottom of his heart!
Now that Ge Shuyu has regained control of a powerful force, the cooperation between King Cheng'en and him has become possible again.After discussing with his staff, King Cheng'en immediately sent someone to Geshu Country to inquire and get in touch with Geshuyu again.

In mid-May, the confidant sent by Cheng'en County King to Geshu Kingdom returned safely, and at the same time brought the good news he expected!Ge Shufu is indeed Ge Shuyu!
The confidant reported that Ge Shufu was very grateful for the help of the prince in the past, and if the prince needs anything in the future, just say so, and then sent a secret letter from Ge Shufu.

Cheng En County Wang Daxi, with the power of Ge Shufu, he can completely contain Su Yan in the northern border. In this way, he can be more free in planning and planning!

However, for Brother Shufu, we must first listen to his needs, so that the cooperation between the two parties can be longer, more enjoyable, and more reassuring.Ge Shufu is definitely not a good man and a faithful woman. Although he keeps telling him to "just speak up", if there is no benefit, he may not really honor it.He said that he owed his "love" instead of "gratitude", which shows that this person is quite conceited, but after changing his face and attacking later, he can still gather the old strength to compete with his brother, his ability is not simple.

King Cheng'en felt that it was necessary to send his heavyweights to go to Geshu country again, so that the two sides could sit down and talk in detail.

Chaozhong's confidantes have official positions, so it's inconvenient to travel far, let alone cover up people's eyes and ears, and the confidant's weight in general affairs is not enough. If Ge Shufu thinks that he is contemptuous, it is not beautiful. Prince Cheng'en thinks about it. So he put his idea on Feng Shifu's head.

Feng Shifu was the most useful counselor by his side, and they had met each other when Ge Shuyu escaped from the palace and temporarily stayed in the palace, so it seemed appropriate for him to travel on his behalf.

When Feng Shifu heard what he said, his eyes flickered slightly.

For so many years, he has never been calm and calm, this is the first time, his eyes flickered for a moment, and the Chengen County King hadn't had time to notice this slight movement, and it disappeared without a trace.

"My lord ordered, how dare this old man refuse to obey." Feng Shifu said slowly: "It's just that this old man is just a guest of the lord's family, brother Shufu doesn't mind, those under him—"

Cheng'en County King's complexion couldn't help but darken, showing some embarrassment.Feng Shifu's scruples are all reasonable, Ge Shufu's cooperation with him is such a big deal, he has to discuss with his confidants about the arrangement, a Feng Shifu is indeed a bit unable to hold on.Hanyu City, the capital city of Geshu Kingdom, is not close to Zhai Fengcheng, and they have to risk passing through Su Yan's territory. It is impossible to go back and forth again and again. It is best to solve the matter once and for all, so that both parties can settle down. Do your own preparations!

"My lord, why don't you let the son go together." Feng Shifu said lightly.

The face of his son flashed across his mind. King Cheng'en hesitated for a moment, then nodded decisively, and slightly bowed his hands to Feng Shifu: "Okay, Zhen'er is young and ignorant, and I have to make up my mind about everything! If the child offends anything along the way , please forgive me, sir!"

Feng Shifu smiled heartily, got up and said earnestly to King Cheng En County: "My lord, I dare not be an old man! My son has always respected this old man, and he is also a reasonable person. Please forgive me, what he lacks is experience. , After a lot of things, the prince can rest assured!"

King Cheng'en couldn't help but think of his son's useless things that Gu Qinghua had rectified over the years, nodded and sighed deeply: "Yes, Zhen'er should also practice, otherwise..."

Feng Shifu smiled with an expression of approval, but he didn't think so in his heart. Experience is very important, and talent is equally important. Mu Zhen is a pile of mud. It is difficult for the father of a prince to put this mud on the wall!It's a pity that the prince himself never realized this!
"Then it's settled!" King Cheng'en was refreshed, and smiled at Feng Shifu: "This matter must be carefully studied and fully prepared before going on the road. Where is Zhen'er, the king will let him come these days Accompany Mister and listen to Mister's instructions."

"Don't worry, my lord, this old man will definitely do his best!" Feng Shifu smiled kindly, and said again: "Then where is the wangfei—"

The king of Cheng'en County showed a bit of impatience on his face, waved his hands and frowned and said: "What do women know! Don't worry, sir!" The princess dotes on her son, he knows better than anyone else, but what Feng Shifu said today made him a point Very sober, his son really needs to practice!

Feng Shifu lowered his eyelids and didn't make another sound.King Cheng'en even casually mentioned such words in front of him, which shows that he really regarded himself as one of his own. Feng Shifu was not unmoved.

Princess Cheng En was really upset, she refused to let her son take such a risk no matter what she said, the journey of thousands of miles is in a foreign country, God knows what accidents will happen?Just thinking about it was enough to make her tremble with fear.This time, King Cheng'en had no room to turn around, he let her cry and make noises coldly, but he didn't let go, he simply lived in the study and didn't even enter the inner courtyard.In the end, it was Feng Shifu who came up with the idea to ask Mu Zhen to personally persuade the princess. The princess felt a little better. Seeing that her son insisted on persisting, and still had a look of longing and anticipation, she just got angry and said nothing!

At the beginning of June, under the arrangement of his father, Mu Zhen and Feng Shifu went out of the city in disguise one after another, reunited outside the city, took twenty entourages, and set off for Geshu country in three groups.

Mu Zhen was very proud of himself, he almost couldn't wait to see Ge Shufu's current situation.He didn't like Mu Tiannan, and he also hated Ge Shufu.

Feng Shifu watched with cold eyes, shaking his head secretly in his heart, this man's honey pot is so big, a seedling of a thousand hectares, he is too thoughtful to be protected by the king and princess of Cheng'en County, although he is not ignorant, but he is obviously not enough for Cheng'en County The qualifications of the king's heir.Just look at this moment, with no view of the overall situation at all, this kind of person deserves Feng Shifu to work for him?What's more, he didn't intend to work for their father and son!
Since the beginning of spring, Cheng'en County King's party has started to move frequently. Taking advantage of the opportunity of selection and dispatch by the officials, many personnel actions have been made, and several military camp chiefs, such as Jiangbei Military Camp and Jiangnan Lushan Military Camp, have played, calling it the weapon of the headquarters. Outdated, many facilities such as accommodation and drills for officers and soldiers need to be added for rest, and the court is requested to allocate funds.

Gu Qinghua didn't object, he only asked a few words, and then agreed to let Liu Jia, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, negotiate with them on the allocation of funds.
