Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1051 Brothers and the Son of Heaven

After a pause, he continued: "Because of the disappearance of the son of King Wuyue, Emperor Song agreed to leave Kaifeng, and with the excuse of redeeming the son of King Wuyue, he has gathered all the financial and material resources in his hands to Hangzhou and other old places of Wuyue. Tomorrow I will take people to escort the father and son of King Wuyue to Hangzhou secretly, and secretly contact the former Qian family of Wuyue Kingdom. As long as Zhao Pu establishes the country in Jinling and proclaims the emperor, Wuyue Kingdom can take the opportunity to restore the country. Think that Zhao Pu and Emperor Song are afraid of each other and treat each other with respect For the sake of death, he would not send troops to manage the affairs of Wuyue Kingdom. However, the more chaotic the world is at this time, the more beneficial it is for the great cause of Wuyue Kingdom's restoration. After Lou Yanming escaped and returned to Dali Kingdom with his ambition, The civil strife in the Song Dynasty must not be resigned to being lonely, and controlled Dali to send troops to invade the Song Dynasty. That's why I intentionally let Lou Yanming escape."

Bai Zixuan's expression was complicated, he hesitated to speak, and finally said: "Grandson's junior brother Cang Hai is not weak, what if Lou Yanming is seriously injured and kills Lou Yanming..."

The Lord of Iron Sword Villa was stunned for a moment, and said: "The strength of Bai Canghai's realm has indeed improved rapidly, presumably it must be related to Ye Chen's evildoer. But I'm afraid it's impossible to kill the seriously injured Lou Yanming."

After a pause, he went on to say: "Okay, let's go, enter the village, and follow me to see King Wuyue and his son. You have always been far-sighted. That kid Qian Zhiyin has accumulated a lot of money in recent years. Still, the right time, location, and people are not lacking, but there are not many talents around. If you want to restore the country, I am afraid that you will have to rely more on you."

Bai Zixuan lowered his head and said yes respectfully. No one saw his expression at this time, and no one knew what he was thinking at this time.

Luo Yaoshun looked at Xia Jingcheng in front of him with a complicated expression and a haggard face.The death of his father hit him hard, and completely wiped out his last trace of loyalty to the Zhao family of the Great Song Dynasty.

For more than a month, he led his family of more than 40 people, with the help of the Xiangfu State Security Department in the Song Dynasty, he hid in Tibet, escaped countless disasters, and finally escaped from the Song State.

After the death of his father, the lives of more than 40 members of his family were all on his body. In addition, this more than a month of life and death fled, so that he changed a lot in just over a month and became more stable. I am more mature, and of course I have thought about a lot of things.To be honest, if he didn't want to avenge his father, he really didn't want to flee to Xiangfu country, because there are his former brothers and friends here.It's a pity that this brother's best friend has become the emperor of a country, and he really doesn't know how to face this former brother.

Qingfenglou is the No. 1 restaurant among the top ten restaurants in Xiajing City recently selected by "Xiajing Express". The background is very deep. Some people have seen the treasurer of Qingfeng Building enter and exit through the side door of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion several times.Therefore, there are rumors that Qingfeng Building is the business of the Han family.

Xiajing Dongcheng is one of the most prosperous business districts in Xiajing City, with all kinds of shops lined up, forming a series of streets.Qingfeng Building is located at the cross-shaped junction of Chenghuangcheng Avenue from the East Gate and the two streets on the left and right.It can be said to be one of the best locations in Xiajing City.

According to legend, there is an independent small courtyard in Qingfeng Building, named Mingxuan Pavilion, which is extremely luxuriously decorated, and the furniture and decoration alone cost 10 taels of silver.It is said that the tea cups inside are all palace porcelain handed down from the Tang Dynasty.However, the layout design of this courtyard was done by a famous master, and it cannot be done by a rich family with a profound heritage.This small courtyard is mainly used to have dinner and talk, drink tea, enjoy dancing and listen to music, and of course it can also be used for other things.But the price is so expensive that in Xiajing City, it is only a thousand taels of silver that can be used more than once. After the time exceeds six hours, it will increase by 500 taels for every additional hour.

Xiajing City is still relatively cold in the first month of the month, but today the sky is clear, there is no wind, and it is noon, the sun is shining on the body at this time, which is the most comfortable time, so people come out of their homes, go shopping, The streets and alleys are so lively.

A carriage without any markings first came from the direction of the imperial city and went straight to Qingfeng Building. A young man wearing a white robe with a dignified temperament and eyes as deep as a sea of ​​stars came down from the carriage, with a look of The indifferent guard and a white-faced and beardless companion entered the Qingfeng Tower, and the companion immediately took out 5000 taels of silver, asked for Mingxuan Pavilion, ordered the best tea and wine, and asked for the best tea and wine in Qingfeng Tower. Good food.

Not long after, Hu Sanguang, the head of the Security Department of Xiangfu State, personally led a person into the Qingfeng Building in a very low-key manner, and came to Mingxuan Pavilion.The indifferent-looking guards and the beardless companion all retreated, and Hu Sanguang just stood at the door and didn't go in, but he didn't leave either, and waited respectfully at the door.

It was Luo Yaoshun who entered the Mingxuan Pavilion, and the person waiting inside was Ye Chen, His Majesty the Emperor of Xiangfu Kingdom. The indifferent guard was Lian Jicheng, the chief commander of the Dark Guard Department of the second rank, and his white-faced and beardless companion was It is Xin Shi, the head of the Ouchi.

In order not to make Luo Yaoshun feel awkward, and to prevent some changes in the relationship between the two brothers that Ye Chen would regret due to the huge change in Ye Chen's identity, Ye Chen deliberately made a painstaking private visit in a micro-service, and ordered food, drinks, and songs here. Ji and Qu Niang helped Luo Yaoshun clean up the dust.Luo Yaoshun is a smart person, how can he not understand this, so the last worry and apprehension in his heart was completely relieved, and he was also moved by the fact that Ye Chen still did not forget his brotherhood after he became the emperor.

However, when Luo Yaoshun entered Mingxuan Pavilion and saw Ye Chen, he suddenly thought of many things, his family, his family, his hatred, and the taboos of any emperor or court, and After he came to Xiangfu Kingdom, he had to consider the feelings and attitudes of all the bosses in the Xiangfu Kingdom from Ye Chen, and so on!
Therefore, when Ye Chen stood up, with a smile on his face, and walked towards Luo Yaoshun a little excitedly, the latter's expression changed in an instant, and he knelt down to Ye Chen, lowered his head, and said loudly: "Surrender!" Luo Yaoshun pays homage to His Majesty, Long live Your Majesty, Long live, Long live, Long live, Long live, Long live, Long live, Long live His Majesty."

Ye Chen's smile froze on his face, his footsteps seemed to have been fixed, he stopped abruptly, looked at Luo Yaoshun, and remained silent for a long time.Various emotions such as regret, helplessness, emotion, wry smile, anger, etc. came to my heart one after another, and my face changed and was extremely complicated.

Xiangfu Kingdom has not escaped the laws of history. In just over two years since the founding of the country, the top and bottom of the court have formed the right minister Han Xizai, the left minister Ma Wentao, the superintendent Li Junhao, the security minister Hu Sanguang, and Zhu Guo's general Yang Jiye. The five major factions of the Lord, and under these five major factions, there are some small factions, such as the Xiangfu Academy faction of Xu Xuan, Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Dean of Xiangfu Academy, the Military Academy faction of Zeng Shangfei, Chief of the General Staff of the Military Department, and the Household Department Shangshu Jiaxian's Qianzhuang School, the Equipment Department's Yuwen Weapons and Equipment Base School, etc. Among them, Ye Chen's earliest confidants and old departments of the original Huaxia Weifu are scattered in key positions among various factions.In short, the current political factions in Xiangfu Kingdom are still in the primary state where you have me, and I have you.

However, the wealthy families of Xiangfu Kingdom have gradually formed in just over two years, and people with good deeds in the market have already ranked the current eight wealthy families of Xiangfu Kingdom.

Han Xizai, the right minister of the most wealthy family, belongs to the Han family. The Han family was originally a big family in the south of the Yangtze River for more than 100 years. Because of surrendering to the Song State in time, most of the assets and power were preserved. Later, Han Xizai followed Ye Chen to defect from the Song State, and when he came to the Northwest to establish a state, with the help of the Huaxia Weifu, he transferred almost all of his assets to the Northwest. , Of course, all the land and real estate located in the south of the Yangtze River were also sold.

Because the Han family has many talents from all walks of life, coupled with the power of Han Xizai, after coming to the northwest more than two years ago, they quickly opened up business in Xiangfu Kingdom. Now Xiangfu Kingdom has inns, restaurants, and brothels. The Han family has dabbled in business in many industries, such as casinos, car dealerships, printing, etc., and they have done well. According to Hu Sanguang's secret investigation and estimation, if all the fixed assets and properties of the Han family are added up, if they are all replaced by There are at least 300 million taels of silver.In addition to Han Xizai, there are a few of the Han family's children who are officials in the court. Although their official positions are not high, they are all in key positions. Therefore, the Han family is the most wealthy family in Xiangfu country, and it is well-deserved.

The second place is the Ma family where Zuo Xiang Ma Wentao belongs. The Ma family was originally a prominent family in the Northwest. After joining Ye Chen, they basically had no losses except for the shrinking of the industry in the Song Dynasty. They also had a lot of business among the people. However, the scale is much worse than that of the Han family.However, the Ma family had more officials than the Han family in the Xiangfu Kingdom, and Ma Wentao recruited the flourishing Zhaowu Bo Tang Xingwu as his son-in-law, which strengthened the power of the Ma family.So the Ma family is the second richest family in Xiangfu Kingdom.In fact, some people even think that the Ma family should be the number one rich family.

The third richest family is the Yang family where General Yang Jiye of the Zhu Kingdom belongs. When Tubo attacked Lanzhou last year, Yang Yanguang, the second son of Yang Jiye, who was the deputy commander of the White Tiger Army at the time, committed suicide at the head of Lanzhou City to protect the people in Lanzhou from being slaughtered. , After this incident was widely reported by "Xiangfu News" and "Xiajing Express", it has become a household name. At that time, Ye Chen personally wrote the four characters of "full family loyalty" and gave it to the Yang family on a horizontal plaque made of golden nanmu.Therefore, the Yang family is well-deserved as the number one family in the military line, and it is firmly ranked in the top three among the families in the Xiangfu Kingdom.
