In the dim darkness, the golden light lit up on the round disk, and characters appeared again, receiving the requested information.
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms has long been circulated in tepid private circles, and has accumulated influence for half a year. At this time, it expanded its dissemination in Yingzhou and the imperial capital, and has become popular among both refined and popular people. It started very well.
A sudden green light flashed, and a special mark appeared.
"A coded message from Prince Yujun's Mansion?" Ye Qing was startled. He was not at home at the moment, so he could only find a Taoist scripture that was used as a code from Chuanlin's notes to translate: "Seeing words is like meeting..."
As he read, Ye Qing's face gradually became strange.
The letter mentioned what I asked you to do last time. The eldest princess read this book because she was a favor to her nephew and made a recommendation.
Unexpectedly, she couldn't put it down after reading this book. Unlike the general disdain in the scholars, who felt it was insulting to the gentlemen, the eldest princess praised the book for its value for generations, and asked the Mingyu County Lord about Ye Qing's situation.
The green light faded and then regained its brightness. As if he was afraid that Ye Qing had a grudge, Prince Yu added another explanatory page at the end.
Yingying's handwriting is beautiful, but it is the handwriting of Mingyu County Lord: "Ye Gongjunan, Mingyu did not intend to leak it, but..."
He told the inside story - the emperor recently left the palace to relax, and stopped by to see his sister. He didn't comment much on the book, and just said: "It's not bad."
"...I thought that it might be beneficial to Ye Gong, so I informed my aunt about Ye Gong's recent situation without permission, and I hope that Ye Gong will respect her."
"It's more than beneficial..." Ye Qing sighed, brushed off the green light on the mirror plate, and dictated a gift list, but it was for Prince Yu and the eldest son, including Mingyu.
Ye Qing was not a vassal of the county king, so he didn't have to follow the official rules to send a gift note. He just saw it, but he still wrote it immediately.
Among them, the greatest value was two hundred war horses, which was a huge undertaking that even Prince Yu was astonished by.
And I thought about it and added the emperor's comments to the subsequent sales - even the emperor said it was good after reading it, and he was invincible.
But the key is not this. The emperor is the Son of Heaven. Even if a catastrophe comes, it represents the will of God. There are too many things that can be done under this green light.
What if luck has come?
When he came out, he greeted Zhou Ling: "We don't have time to rest. We will rush to Zhoucheng immediately."
As they were driving on the official road out of the city, Zhou Ling couldn't help but wonder, and asked in a low voice: "The Tian family just said it casually, is it useful?"
"You don't understand this..."
The air is crisp in autumn, or someone is celebrating a happy event. Ye Qing feels in a good mood. He smiles and waves his sleeves, pointing at the harvested paddy fields in Momo: "A rich family does not need to buy fertile fields, there are thousands of grains of millet in the book; there is no need to build a high hall to live in peace.
There is a house of gold in the book; when you go out, don't hate having no one to follow you; there are many horses and carriages in the book; when you get a wife, don't hate an unscrupulous matchmaker; in the book, there is a beauty like jade; if a man follows his life ambition, read the Six Classics diligently in front of the window...
…”
"Ah, it makes sense..." Zhou Ling thought about it based on reality, nodded in agreement, and then wondered: "Does this have anything to do with the Tian family?"
When Ye Qing woke up, he couldn't say that this was actually the "Encouraging Learning Chapter" written by Zhao Heng, Zhenzong of the Northern Song Dynasty in the earth's time. "The book has its own golden house, and the book has its own beauty like jade." This sentence will be inspirational in later generations, but in Zhao Guan's family
The original intention was to seduce one's own imperial examinations through the temptation of wealth and beauty.
Being an emperor can be so shameless, Ye Qing can be so shameless, he smiled and said: "I don't care if this is the emperor's casual perfunctory, as long as it is a golden word, just use it seriously."
Ye Qing had a sudden thought in his mind. The so-called "mouth contains the constitution of heaven". The earth is like this. The ultimate imperial power in this world can even produce the emperor of heaven. It is not a lie. Simply promoting it is killing a chicken with a sledgehammer. It is really a waste.
"Maybe if you use it properly, there will be surprises..."
"Master?" Zhou Ling looked at him strangely, thinking that she was probably thinking about something weird again.
Ye Qing came back to his senses, saw that she was confused, and explained with a smile: "When the eldest princess publishes a book, and the emperor makes comments, it becomes famous all over the world. Have you heard about this, Lingling?"
"I see, I have also read those two books, but they are not as good as the Young Master's book." Zhou Ling was stunned after hearing this, and then looked at her Young Master: "Young Master, your book will definitely be more famous."
"Well, you can't say that..." Ye Qing would never be so optimistic: "Forget it, this time I go to the city to present the bill to the governor."
"Three thousand war horses, three hundred for Prince Yu, three hundred for my family, and the rest will be dedicated to the governor. This is a great achievement. Since he is not part of the imperial court system, there is no need to think about actual promotions and titles.
But at least he will be promoted to the seventh level of Hanlin inspection."
"This official position is fictitious, but it is very useful. The name is not justified. With it, you can truly compete with the county magistrate."
"The most important thing is that the seventh rank is a dividing line, and many things can be done." Ye Qing stopped talking, not to mention that there is another important matter in the city. I don't know how well the preparations are.
It's hard to feel relieved when you see that this Tianxian in your mouth has successfully increased the size of your body by several hundred percent.
"drive……"
The black dragon horse sped up, and the entire cavalry rushed westward along the road, smoke and dust billowing away.
Luhua County
Dusk illuminates a mansion.
Although it was a temporary residence when he was on duty, it lacked the memory of Princess Nancang's family, but it had a new atmosphere, and the soldiers who had returned from victory had made arrangements.
The wealth was returned to the treasury and the rewards were distributed, and the joy gradually spread. Many tribesmen who followed directly praised the young master and returned with a full load of rewards.
In fact, if Yu Fan wins the same Jinshi title, no one can compete with his status as heir, but after this incident, it has been strengthened a lot.
On the pavilion, Yu Fan changed into white clothes and sipped Yunwu Mountain Tea. He leaned on the railing and looked out. He felt even more happy when he saw the cars and horses leaving one after another.
"Congratulations, my lord, I see that my lord's luck has gathered together and he has won the hearts of the people."
Jinyang Lake is sparkling under the setting sun. In the rays of light, white sails are returning to the harbor, and the fish market has just begun.
"I didn't expect that I would come back here again. The scenery here is so beautiful." Yu Fan smiled and looked back with some emotion.
The real reason why he and Ye Qing forged a deadly feud was that the chance of Long Sun here was taken away, and the waterway trade route was interrupted. But now that he did not rely on these, he could start calmly. Even if Long Sun Yi in the lake hated him, he agreed with him.
Jinshi, you can ignore it
"What my lord said is true, but although this place is beautiful, it is still a temporary residence. It is best to obtain the foundation of the family." Mr. Kou shook his feather fan and felt refreshed.
He became more and more valued. When Yu Fan was away, he took care of many things. His administration became more and more sophisticated, and his complexion changed greatly.
"It's natural. I, Yu Fan, am ranked first among the Jinshi scholars. How can I endure the examination? Opportunities are everywhere in the war, and military achievements come quickly. I will disappoint some people in my family..." Yu Fan said with a faint smile: "That's right.
With military merit, I don’t have to wait another three years. I will definitely become the county magistrate directly, and I will deliberately follow the path of the Ming County Prince. Once the county magistrate retires in three years, I will be the seventh-grade county magistrate."
After saying that, he sighed deeply: "It's a pity that Ye Qing took advantage of it and took half of it."
Mr. Kou bowed deeply: "My lord, half is enough. First of all, this is a great victory. When the battle comes, I believe the court will respond quickly and grant official positions and rewards..."
"And after the military summary, it was much more difficult to capture this tribe than expected. We all fought until we were exhausted. If we wait for a while, even if we win, the casualties will increase rapidly. Although the Ye family will benefit, it is still a good move.
In time, the casualties were unexpectedly small, and I think it is still a good deal."
"If there are too many casualties, even if we win, it will not be easy for people to unite like this."
Yu Fan listened to these words and watched as night fell and the night lights were raised in the house, exuding the atmosphere of joy and harvest. Under the influence, most of the depression in his heart disappeared.
Even though he knew that the casualties of the Ye family were smaller, he was a little reluctant, but after thinking about it, he couldn't help but frown: "You are right, the most important thing for me now is to unite people and maintain vitality. With these resources, even if they are purchased by the military at a low price,
I went there, rewarded the family soldiers, and gave some of them to the tribe, but it is enough for my needs in the past few years. It only takes one or two years for all the tribesmen to realize who has a better future."
The irony is that the person who is secretly opposed to him now is his biological father. I don't know when the relationship between father and son became indifferent, or maybe in the face of power, the so-called family love is pitifully weak.
Combined with the five hundred recruited from the imperial capital, Yu Fan was now clearly appointed as an official. He had his own team and a large number of frustrated tribesmen to join him. His influence and reputation in the family were unparalleled for a while.
Except for Yu Chengen, who still holds the power, no one else can compete with him. Even the vassal families and allied families have secretly made friends recently. There is no conflict between them and Yu Fan for the position of the head of the family, but they can see Yu Fan's prospects more clearly.
, if you don’t invest now, when will you wait?
In just a few months, the Yu family was on the same level as the original Yu family.
"Even outsiders can clearly see the situation, but I just can't understand why my father is so stubborn... That's all, just looking at my father's situation, I already feel sorry for him. I know why Ye Qing is not optimistic about the Imperial City... This kind of love is not good.
It’s really unreasonable to go.”
Yu Fan took a deep breath, and when he saw Mr. Kou looking over with a little worry, he shook his head: "Don't worry, I won't fall into the trap of evil. As long as the winner is determined, I will continue to express family affection and worship my father at my knees."
"My lord is indeed wise." After hearing this, Mr. Kou's eyes flashed and he bowed. This involved the lord's family affairs. Due to the principle of no intimacy, he could not say much, but he was obviously happy in his heart.
The most important thing for the lord is to have a clear mind. If the lord becomes vicious because of Yu Chengen, then many paths will be cut off - no matter what, how many people would dare to cooperate and seek refuge with a person who can even deal with his father ruthlessly?
And he is still in a favorable position to fight without defeat. Time is on his side, so there is no need to worry. Mr. Kou just smiled and changed the topic: "The cattle, sheep and horses have been arranged in the outer village. They have been counted and are being registered.
There are some newly brought girls and children, my lord, please choose first..."
"I won't choose these things, I'll leave them all to the teacher..."
After saying this, both of them were silent. Under the clear night sky, the evening breeze blew slowly, bringing with it the light smell of the fishing port and the freshness of water, which made people very refreshing. The two of them looked at each other and paid homage.
When you smile, there is nothing better than this.
