Gao Jingcheng somewhat understood Fang Jun's tactics and said: "I'm afraid Fang Jun had the idea of letting us use money to redeem people from the beginning, so we can't all be sent to the army, right? It's just that he made this fight
...I'm afraid that the money to redeem people will not be enough if it is too little."
Gao Zhenxing snorted: "As long as he asks for money, our family will still be afraid that he will talk too loudly?"
Having been rich for many generations, I naturally have the confidence to say such things.
Gao Xingcheng looked at his father and asked, "How much money does father think is appropriate for his son?"
Gao Shilian thought for a while and said: "Prepare one hundred thousand coins..."
"What?!" Gao Zhenxing's eyes widened. What the hell is the difference between this and robbery?
Unexpectedly, before I finished speaking, I was interrupted by him. He glared at Gao Xingyi bitterly and continued: "...If it's not enough, just raise more money. Anyway, we can't damage the family's face."
The two sons were stunned.
Fang Jun's appetite...can't be that big, right?
Immediately, Gao Qingcheng arranged for the housekeeper to go to the warehouse to inventory, collected 100,000 gold and silver treasures, loaded several carts, and rushed to Jingzhao Mansion with a group of servants to redeem people...
On the road, I met several familiar young people, and there were cars behind them. They were obviously going to Jingzhao Mansion to redeem people, but the old man at home fell to the ground and couldn't save his face, so he had to let these juniors come forward.
They have equal status with Fang Jun. If the old man takes action but Fang Jun gives him a few words of criticism, where should he put his face?
It's just that they all seem to be human beings, and they all understood Fang Jun's intention so quickly.
But thinking about it, everyone screwed Fang Jun into a trap this time. If Fang Jun used this method to trick everyone into making some money and get over it, then everyone would be happy.
Otherwise, who knows what earth-shattering things Fang Jun might do if he goes crazy...
Thinking of this, everyone felt embarrassed. No one thought it was shameful to just take money to ransom someone, so they walked together while talking and laughing. When they arrived at the gate of Jingzhao Mansion, they looked back and saw that there was already a car.
Ma Gong Gong Nuo is a big convoy.
Gao Xingchen glanced at the two rows of sluggish soldiers at the gate of the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen, and admired Fang Jun in his heart. Even if he was collecting money, he could collect it astonishingly. This scene of the family members lining up to pay was probably...
Is it a wonder that has never been seen in hundreds of years?
Maybe it was only comparable to the time when Wuhu was there, when the big guys were buying their lives with money...
*****
Taiji Palace, Shujing Palace.
The scenery of Shujing Hall in spring is particularly elegant. When you open the back window, you can see a lake as green as jade. The weeping willows along the lake have already sprouted their green buds. The thin willows sway with the breeze, and the lake water is slightly rippled and smokey.
Misty.
There is a circle of vermilion rain corridors by the lake. Pretty palace maids in pink clothes are painting the rain corridors with vermilion paint in groups. This is the job of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but these innocent palace ladies have taken over it.
The life in the palace is leisurely, but it seems too lonely. The girls are all slender and delicate, and they play this as a game.
The pink clothes are like butterflies, the laughter is crisp, and the scenery is beautiful and picturesque.
His Majesty Li Er, with his hands behind his back, was dressed in regular clothes, his hair was loosely tied with a silk ribbon, his shoulders were broad, and his figure was tall and straight. He was looking at the palace maids playing in the distance with a smile, and he was obviously in a good mood.
Princess Changle is sitting on her knees in front of the coffee table, making tea with bare hands, her face is serene, she is wearing a one-piece lake green pleated skirt, and her upper body is covered with a brocade gown embroidered with flying phoenix patterns, her jade hands are gently raised
Between them, a tender lotus root-like arm is exposed, and the skin is frosty and snow-like, seemingly more crystal clear than the white porcelain tea cup in his hand...
"Father, please have some tea."
The emerald green tea soup is poured into the crystal-white tea cup. The steam is thick and the aroma is lingering. You can feel the fluid on the bottom of your tongue when you look at it, and feel soothed when you smell it.
"Yes." His Majesty Li Er responded, turned around and sat down in front of the coffee table, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, savoring the taste, and praised: "Li Zhi's tea ceremony skills have improved again.
Looking at Chang'an, I'm afraid there are not many people who can compare with him."
Princess Changle smiled: "Where can any father praise his daughter like this?"
His Majesty Li Er raised his eyebrows and said matter-of-factly: "My woman is beautiful, smart, gentle and elegant, far better than those so-called ladies of the world. I don't know how many unmarried young men in Chang'an City are attracted to her, so why can't I praise her?"
"Father, cancel this family..."
Princess Changle snarled slightly, her face dizzy at His Majesty Li Er's teasing words, her flawless and pretty face suddenly turned red, and she revealed a bit of charm and charm in her unparalleled beauty, which was particularly moving.
The father and daughter were drinking tea and chatting away. Wang De, the chamberlain, walked in briskly, holding a memorial in his hand, and respectfully presented it to His Majesty Li Er, saying: "Just now, 'Baiqisi'
The report was delivered, and the military attaché who delivered it was in a hurry. Maybe something big happened in the city..."
His Majesty Li Er stretched out his hand to take it, frowning slightly.
Something big happened in the city?
Apart from the funeral of the Dou family and the riots in Dongshi, what other major events have happened recently?
He took the silver knife from the fruit plate on the coffee table, took apart the wax paint on the memorial, took out the letter paper, and read it at a glance, his expression suddenly became weird...
Then, His Majesty Li Er muttered: "This stick!"
Two things were written in the memorial. One was that Fang Jun was going to hold a "public trial" meeting, and the other was that Su ran to the Yamen of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and had a fight with Gao Jifu, the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs...
Princess Changle, who was pouring tea for him, paused slightly with her hands and her heart tightened.
It seems that there is no one else who can be scolded by the father as a "stick"... Could it be that that guy has done something else? God, he really refuses to stop for a moment, can't this person be honest and low-key...
…
There was a slight complaint in my heart, but in fact, I was worried. I subconsciously looked at the memorial in my father's hand.
His Majesty Li Er naturally noticed the look in his daughter's eyes, hesitated for a moment, and handed the memorial to her, snorted and said: "That kid is causing trouble again. You don't know that now all the aristocratic families in Chang'an are in trouble."
A carload of people sent money to Jingzhao Mansion, hoping to atone for their sins with gold."
Princess Changle took it and took a closer look, and her mood instantly improved a bit. This guy was taking revenge... It was rare to use such a relatively gentle method. She didn't know if she should praise him for his progress.
The corners of his lips raised slightly, and he said softly: "Fang Jun has always been domineering in dealing with things. If it were in the past, if he suffered such a big loss this time, he would probably be beaten directly. Now that he has changed his mind, my daughter should congratulate her father."
The emperor is the emperor. But as the saying goes, a country can change its nature but it is hard to change it. Although Fang Jun gave in, the amount of the fine... I'm afraid it will make those clansmen feel pain for a while."
His Majesty Li Er thought about it and realized it was really a good thing.
Fang Jun, who does not cause trouble, is indeed like a sharp knife. He can give people unexpected surprises in any position. He is capable of both literary and military skills and has superb economic skills. He can be called an all-rounder.
But what he hadn't noticed was that he seemed to have subconsciously become accustomed to Princess Changle saying nice things to Fang Jun, and he didn't notice anything wrong at all...
Because of Princess Changle's words, His Majesty Li Er was in a good mood and ordered Wang Dedao: "Go and notify Li Junxian quickly and find out everything in Jingzhao Mansion, including the specific amount of the fine. If General Fang Jun
Just leave this fine in Jingzhao Mansion. If you dare to line your own pockets, even if you have even a copper in your pocket, you will catch him immediately. It’s a big deal, fifty coins!"
Princess Changle couldn't laugh or cry. Her father was obviously resentful when he said this. In fact, everyone knew how could Fang Jun enrich his own pockets? How could he covet such a small amount of public funds since his family had a huge fortune and was known as the "God of Wealth".
Wang De quickly agreed, turned around and retreated.
His Majesty Li Er's face gradually darkened, not because of Fang Jun, but because of Su's fight with Gao Jifu...
Princess Changle was very smart. One look at His Majesty Li Er's face and she knew what he was thinking, so she advised him softly: "It's just a quarrel between ministers, why should the emperor care about it?"
His Majesty Li Er snorted and said dissatisfiedly: "I'm not dead yet, and these bastards are planning their plans as soon as possible!"
In his heart, he was dissatisfied with Gao Jifu, Gao Shilian, and Gao Xiuxi. But more importantly, he was dissatisfied with Su and the prince!
Why couldn't he see the tricks played by Gao Jifu? He was just disgusted with Su Geng. Playing scheming in the officialdom was not a big deal. Interests were at stake. How can there be a gentleman who is truly as clear as water and as clear as a mirror? Don't do it if you take advantage.
If you behave well, you have to admit your losses and find opportunities to make up for it in the future. However, after being tricked by someone, you chase them to the door and make trouble, but it is really embarrassing!
The prince has an honest and gentle temperament. Not only is he not strict with his subordinates, he can't even control his father-in-law. If the throne is handed over to him in the future, will he be able to withstand the beautiful mountains and rivers I conquered?
But the other two legitimate sons are either evil-minded and cold-tempered, or they are bound to be hijacked by the family at a young age. No matter who they choose, it seems that they are not a good choice...
His Majesty Li Er has a headache and feels irritable. Since there is no better choice, he can only wait.
Fortunately, I am in my prime and can live for twenty or thirty years...
