Chapter 627 The entire Sheng family still needs to be protected by me
"My father is now the 'strategist' of the imperial court and is in charge of the money bag of the entire Song Dynasty. My mother calls the queen 'empress'. Apart from her family members, the queen is the closest to you. We, the Duke of Qi, are our absolute confidants today.
In the eyes of today's officials, King Yan and King Yong are distant relatives who want to occupy his family..."
Qi's mother frowned and said: "What occupation, it sounds so ugly. Nowadays, official families have no children. If ordinary people's families encounter this kind of thing, they will adopt one from the clan to inherit the incense."
Wang Lidong sneered and said: "These two princes were not selected by the officials themselves, but were jointly selected by the ministers and the Zhao and Song clans. My mother didn't know how reluctant your majesty was when he agreed to this matter..."
.
Moreover, when the two princes came to Beijing, the third prince of the official family was not dead yet. Which biological father is willing to prepare an heir before his son is dead?
Doesn't that mean he cursed his own son to death?
Therefore, I definitely don’t like these two princes in my heart right now, it should be said that I feel very disgusted.”
Qi's mother frowned and said: "Heng'er, according to your statement, these two princes are not favored by His Majesty, so who will he choose as the crown prince?
Wang Lidong picked up a bun and took a bite. "Unless you are seriously ill and know that you have only a few days to live, the candidate for the crown prince will not be announced. And the crown prince will never choose a powerful clan prince.
They will choose an honest, filial and obedient person from distant clan members.
Such a prince has almost no foundation in the court. If he wants to secure the throne, he can only rely on the current generation and the queen. Then he must be as filial to the current generation and the queen as his parents. When His Majesty passes away, the queen will be able to secure the position of queen mother.
s position..."
Qi's father nodded. Otherwise, he would not choose a powerful prince like King Yong or King Yan to be the crown prince. If he really wants such a powerful prince to become the prince, the courtiers will definitely try their best to cling to him. It won't take long.
The prince can recruit a large number of people, and the emperor's imperial power will be greatly challenged.
As long as a creature like the emperor has not breathed his last breath, he attaches great importance to the power in his hands and will never allow anyone to threaten him. Then the two will inevitably conflict.
If the prince is ruthless and takes the opportunity to cause a palace coup...
Princess Pingning frowned a little. Some of the distant clans could become princes. This goal was too many, but she only had one son, and she would regret it if she didn't use him... "Let's put things aside about Heng'er's marriage.
There are only a few months until the exam, so don’t be distracted now..."
Father Qi was speechless.
Last night, my wife looked so anxious and furious... I wish my son could get married today, it's not even a day yet... I looked at my son and found that he was eating breakfast calmly...

Shengfu side entrance
"Where have you been? I stayed up all night waiting for you. I originally wanted to send someone to find you, but I was afraid of alerting your father and letting Wei Ruixuan's people get the handle!" Sheng Hong's concubine Lin Xiaoniang said more and more
He got even angrier and slapped his drunken son with his hand, "Where on earth were you last night?"
"Hiccup~!" Sheng Changfeng, who was still hungover, burped, shook his head, and said impatiently to his mother who had been jjyy for a long time, "Didn't I tell my mother-in-law when I went out yesterday?
I am now working with Duke Guo of Qin.
There was a banquet at the Duke's Mansion last night, and Qiu Sanlang and I were asked to accompany him. This kind of thing will happen a lot in the future, so don't make a fuss."
Lin Xiaoniang said hesitantly, "Didn't you lie to me?"
Sheng Changfeng said: "If I don't believe that I will meet my young master someday, ask him face to face. It was I who put in a good word for him that made Duke Qin decide to pay for his more than two million yuan business yesterday."
"More than two million yuan?" Lin Xiaoniang exclaimed, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab her son, "What are you buying? It's so expensive? By the way, did I give you cash, or a shop or a yard?"
Sheng Changfeng looked puzzled, "What kind of shop yard?"
"You helped the young master do such a big business, and he didn't show any sign of it?"
"Uh..." Sheng Changfeng's head suddenly got stuck, and he just boasted casually, but he never thought of this.
"Didn't the young master give it to me?"
Sheng Changfeng nodded immediately, "Yes, not given."
"Pa!" Lin Xiaoniang hit her son hard, "If the young master doesn't give it, then you ask for it. For a business of more than 2 million yuan, according to the rules of the dental shop, the dental fee is 5%, which is more than 100,000 yuan.
Pass!"
When Sheng Changfeng saw his mother pulling him out, he hurriedly said, "Auntie, where are you taking me to?"
"Go to the young master's house." Lin Xiaoniang nodded her son's head and said: "With one hundred thousand yuan, you can buy a three-seater house in the capital. With such a big house, I will help you negotiate the marriage in two years.
When the time comes, your waist will be able to be hardened to three points, and when the time comes, I will help you find a legitimate daughter from a scholarly family to be your eldest wife."
I wipe it!
Sheng Changfeng was sober in an instant and hurriedly grabbed his mother, his mind was running wildly, and he finally thought of a so-so excuse, "Mom, there were several people helping us at the time, and the young man asked us if we wanted cash, or one of his
Favor.
Qiu Sanlang and others all chose to ask for favors from the young father-in-law. The young father-in-law and I are relatives, so how could we have the nerve to ask for money?
If you come to ask for money like this, how will others view our Sheng family when word spreads."
"Even if you share it with a few people, you can still get 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. What kind of favor is worth so much money?"
"Aniang, my father is the most honorable person. If he really took the money, he would ask us to return the money after he finds out.
By then I didn’t get the money, and people laughed at me. How can I still have the nerve to continue working for Qin Guogong?”
Lin Xiaoniang is still a little unwilling...
Sheng Changfeng pulled my mother towards the house, "Mom, actually taking money is the last resort.
The Duke of Qi is His Majesty's pocketbook, and the princess is the adopted daughter of the Queen. The business company under the Young Master's name earns several million guan every year, and one of his favors is worth at least ten or two hundred thousand guan.
Otherwise, you think Qiu Sanlang and his gang are fools.
By the way, mother, you must not tell your father and sister about this... Just you and me will know."
Lin Xiaoniang asked puzzledly: "Why can't you tell your father? If he knows that you are so promising, he will definitely come to our yard more in the future..."
Sheng Changfeng looked around and whispered: "If dad finds out, you see, this favor will definitely be spent on Chang Bai, and he will praise me at most."
Lin Xiaoniang immediately exploded and said: "Why is it that you earned this from Hua Changbai?"
Sheng Changfeng snorted, "Just because he is the eldest son, the entire Sheng family will belong to Sheng Changbai from now on. What will you do then, Auntie?"
Lin Xiaoniang stroked Xiong's mouth, thankful that her son had reminded her, otherwise the wedding dress for Wei Ruixuan would have been in vain!....Wang will definitely be very proud by then!
.....Pooh!
"Brother, did you go to drink wine again last night?" Sheng Molan saw Sheng Changfeng walking this way and that, and was about to step forward to help her. Suddenly, there was a scent of powder mixed with the smell of alcohol at the tip of her nose, and she quickly backed away in disgust.
Two steps later, "Mom, you don't care about him. If dad finds out, he will definitely be unhappy, and even I will be in trouble."
Sheng Changfeng said with an indifferent expression,
"You know it when you know it. A young man who was a fifth-rank official and sat with me for a drink last night. His father was either a prime minister or a minister. The worst one was Qiu Sanlang. His father was also a third-rank official."
He walked to the table, sat down, picked up the teapot on the table, took two sips, and said, "Do you know who your brother and I are working with now?!"
The Duke of Qin is the only son of King Yan. You must know who King Yan is.
When King Yan ascends the throne, he will be the prince and the future official.
When the time comes, your brother and I, a hero of the Conglong family, will at least be assigned a marquis, and from now on the entire Sheng family will have to rely on me for protection."
Seeing Sheng Changfeng talking nonsense, Sheng Molan looked at Lin Xiaoniang worriedly,
"Aniang, isn't my brother crazy?"
"You know what?" Sheng Changfeng said unhappily, "Aside from reciting poems and composing poems, all I can do is fight with Ru Lan. Long hair but short knowledge, you are like a frog in a well!"
(*￣︿￣)
Sheng Molan blew out two streaks of white air from her angry nostrils, pointed at Sheng Changfeng and said, "Aniang, look at my brother, he can't even pass the provincial examination, and he still dreams of becoming a marquis!"
"Okay, stop arguing." Lin Xiaoniang took her daughter, cooed for a while, and told her roughly what she had heard from her son.
Sheng Molan sneered and said: "Now the official family has not decided who will be the crown prince. My brother is really powerful and can be the head of the official family."
Sheng Changfeng Road,
"Who in the entire capital doesn't know that this throne must belong to King Yan. King Yan was born into a noble family. His mother's family was an important official in three dynasties. He has a long history of glory and wealth. He has many capable ministers and generals under his command. Now the entire court wants to serve King Yan.
If not a hundred, there is still eighty..."
Lin Xiaoniang said: "Can King Yan really sit on the throne?"
Sheng Changfeng Road,
"Auntie, someone gave a house to Duke Qin yesterday. Do you know who this person is?"
"who?"
"The legitimate son of Fu Bi, who was involved in political affairs, that house is worth 4 million yuan."
Both mother and daughter exclaimed in surprise.
Sheng Changfeng continued, "If this kind of person is not completely sure, where will he end up?
Therefore, King Yan must be the future crown prince."
Glancing at the proud Sheng Changfeng, Sheng Molan said doubtfully, "Auntie, my brother said it himself just now, the worst person to work with Qin Guogong is a third-rank official... So what does Qin Guogong like in my brother?
A concubine who has been a minor official in the fifth rank, has never passed the provincial examination, and our family does not have much wealth...?"
Seeing the confusion in his mother's eyes, Sheng Changfeng certainly couldn't say that Qin Guogong asked him to be his younger brother. Most likely, he was interested in his relationship with the young prince. He was also a shameless person.
But after thinking for a long time, I still couldn't find a suitable reason...
Seeing that Sheng Changfeng couldn't let go for a long time, Sheng Molan seemed to have caught him.
"Auntie, brother lied. I think he just wanted to go out and drink wine at any time, so he found a name..."
"Feng'er! Is what your sister said true?" Lin Xiaoniang stared at her son and asked.
Sheng Changfeng hesitated for a long time. Seeing that my mother's face was getting darker and darker, she finally confessed the truth.
Mo Lan said with disdain, "It turns out that I still rely on the young master's face!"
Sheng Changfeng blushed and said, "There are so many people who know my young master. Why didn't Duke Qin find anyone else but me?!"
"Well, you are probably the most shameless..."
Seeing that the brother and sister were not finished, Lin Xiaoniang immediately shouted to stop, and then asked her son to go back to his yard to wash and change clothes...

At noon, with the sun high in the sky, Ru Lan was digging watermelon with a spoon. When she saw my mother walking around in the living room, her eyes were dazzled, so she persuaded her, "Mom, sit down.
Let's have a piece of watermelon, dad must have been delayed on the way."
However, Mrs. Wang still kept pacing back and forth, and looked at the door from time to time, "Your father should have been home half an hour ago. If there is any delay, he will send someone home to let you know. Today there is nothing."
News.”
Ru Lan stood up and took her mother to sit down at the table, picked up a piece of watermelon and stuffed it into her mouth, "Today is a big court meeting, and it is not common for people to show up. Eat two slices of watermelon, and daddy will be home."
Wang, who was upset and angry, couldn't eat any watermelon. Seeing that her daughter was heartless and heartless, Henz buried her head in half of the watermelon, and her anger jumped three inches higher, "I've known it all day long.
Eat, eat! Apart from eating and taking pills, what else do you do besides these two things? Next year you will be at the age when you are planning to get married, and you can’t even order tea. I wonder who will want you?"
Ru Lan chewed twice, swallowed the watermelon in her mouth, and said, "How old is this? Nowadays, making tea is popular in all the capitals. Only my father, an old-fashioned man, insists on drinking a bowl of tea every day.
It’s not too unpleasant to drink and it will make your throat irritate…”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Hearing her daughter mention Sheng Hong, Wang became more uneasy. She stood up and walked to the door, peeked out, and murmured: "This
It's already past dinner time. Your father may be in trouble, no..." Then he said to the nanny beside him: "Immediately send a few people to follow the route that the Lord took to go to court... If there is any news,
Send someone back immediately to report the news."
"I understand, madam."

"Sir, the three cannons have been assembled." Buwei walked up to Wang Lidong and reported, "It took a stick of incense in total. Several of the gunners are still a bit unskilled. After they become more proficient, they may not need half a stick of incense.
It can be installed in no time.”
Wang Lidong walked to the three cannons and touched the somewhat cold barrels. The caliber was only 7.5cm, and the length of the barrels was no more than one meter. To be precise, it was only 70cm long. It is really inappropriate to call this thing a cannon.
Steel cannons are more suitable.

This gun was modeled after the M1928 infantry gun he used in his previous life. The total weight is just over 300 kilograms. The maximum range of ordinary charges is 2,800 meters (muzzle velocity is 175 meters per second), and the maximum range of powerful charges is 6,000 meters.
(Muzzle velocity is 300 meters per second), and the rate of fire is 8-11 rounds per minute.
A special feature of this artillery is that it can be broken down into several parts for transportation. The heaviest part is the barrel, which is only 35 kilograms and can be carried by an adult man.
It is very practical for the current Song Dynasty.
In this era, there were no asphalt roads or concrete roads. Of course, there were stone roads inside the county town, but outside the city there were all dirt roads, and there were no bridges over the river. You had to use a ferry to cross the river. If you had more than one ton of artillery,
It would be very laborious to transport.
Moreover, the current technology of the iron-making workshop under Wang Lidong's name can only produce such a thick barrel.
"Shoot a few shots."
Following Wang Lidong's order, more than a dozen gunners got busy... As the starter waved the small flag, "Boom! Boom! Boom!"
200 meters, 500 meters, 1000 meters, 2000 meters... wooden boards, steel plates, buildings of various materials...
