"I would like to offer one million coins and three hundred thousand stones of rice. I sincerely ask Your Highness to say a few kind words in front of the Duke of Yue. I will destroy my family and property. I am extremely grateful..."
Hearing this number, Li Tai almost exclaimed!
Mother!
The Shen family is not only rich, but they are also really willing to give it up. I was just being reserved just now. You can't just do it right away if you are willing to pay for it, right? If you don't join us, you are a noble man, and we are well-read in poetry and literature. Literary men should not be too enthusiastic about external things such as money, otherwise wouldn’t they be looked down upon by the world?
But he never expected to be so reserved. Shen Lun immediately doubled the price...
Mu Yuanzuo was also shocked by Shen Lun's courage. He looked at him deeply and turned to King Wei: "Your Highness, the Shen family is really sincere this time. This money is almost equal to half of the Shen family's wealth..."
Everyone knows that the Shen family has three to four million yuan, but this does not mean that the Shen family can get the money. The wealth of the family does not belong to one person, and it is scattered and scattered. I am afraid that everyone will be able to get it. Agreeing to donate the family property is also a huge problem. What's more, even if the value of the family property is here, once it is sold in a hurry, the price will definitely be reduced. In the end, it is a fluke to get 60% of the original price.
It can be seen from this that Shen Lun's promise of so much money is almost equivalent to the Wuxing Shen family giving everything they have.
After this, even if the Wu Xing Shen family was not implicated as a whole, they could only survive by selling off their family property for a long time. They fell from the top Jiangdong noble family to the abyss in one fell swoop. It is not known when they will be able to turn around...
Therefore, it can also be seen that the Shen family is absolutely determined and desperate in the face of the danger of annihilation.
Suppressing the ecstasy in his heart, Li Tai frowned and asked, "Why is this so?"
Shen Lun smiled bitterly and said: "The crime committed by Shen Wei this time is unforgivable. Even if it is just his personal obsession and has nothing to do with the clan, who can say that the clan is really not responsible at all? At least it was a crime of negligence. There is no way to escape. I only hope that Your Highness can take the Shen family’s heartfelt support for your great cultural and educational development, lend a helping hand and forgive these ignorant clan members who are in prison, and then the Shen family will be willing to sacrifice their lives for Your Highness from generation to generation. Ancestral temple, our descendants will never forget our great kindness!"
After saying this, he straightened his clothes, prostrated himself on the ground again, and paid homage.
In order to prevent the Shen family from perishing at the hands of Fang Jun, he risked his entire fortune. Although it was really a last resort, it also showed his extraordinary courage.
Li Tai was also moved by it.
In such a family, the tradition of ruthlessness has been engraved deep in the bones. When faced with a crisis, it will either collapse and disappear, or it will fight back fiercely and risk death.
In the current situation, it is natural that the Shen family cannot be eradicated. This will shake the foundation of the entire Jiangnan, disturb the political structure of the Tang Dynasty, and add endless variables to the Eastern Expedition. My father will never allow it. If this happens, Anyone who dares to do such a thing in private will face the thunderous wrath of his father.
Since it cannot be destroyed, it can only be stabilized.
Otherwise, once such a ruthless family backfires, it will be really fatal...
Li Tai did not lean over to help him. He still looked like a high-ranking nobleman, but his expression was full of sympathy. He sighed: "No one wants this kind of thing to happen. The Shen family has indeed been ruined by an unscrupulous son. They were completely destroyed and their crimes were so serious. Didn’t Duke Yue suddenly cause misfortune and be extremely innocent? The fault was that Duke Yue was blessed with great fortune. He still narrowly escaped death in such a dangerous situation. Did you know that once something unexpected happened to Duke Yue? What kind of situation will your Shen family, and even the entire Jiangnan family, face?"
Shen Lun was also frightened. Although members of his family had recently become very close to the Wang family in Taiyuan and knew what Shen Wei was planning secretly in private, who could have imagined that such a catastrophe would happen overnight?
Now everyone in the Shen family wants to kill Shen Wei, throw it into a pot, cook it, divide it and eat it!
It doesn't matter if you seek your own death, but to bring this whole family into the abyss and bury them with you is simply a shame for the family!
"Your Highness is understanding and reasonable. The Shen family is deeply grateful. We also hope that Your Highness can be more accommodating. The Shen family will work hard and be willing to do their best..."
"Okay, who wants this kind of thing to happen? But I dare not give you any guarantee. The Duke of Yue has made great achievements and has a respected status. Even my father is very fond of him, even if he ignores me. The words are really normal. If I am unable to do anything at that time, I hope Mr. Shen will understand."
"As long as His Highness feels in his heart that the Shen family has been wronged, then the Shen family will be able to admire His Highness's kindness and kindness!"
"Hurry up. We are all citizens of the Tang Dynasty. How can I not have the heart to protect you? The Duke of Yue is also a man with a clear sense of right and wrong and a magnanimous spirit. He must also be able to understand the difficulties of the Shen family."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Only then did Shen Lun get up from the ground.
Li Tai offered a seat and they chatted for a while, before Shen Lun took his leave.
He is also a person who is well versed in human affairs and knows that it is impossible to get a definite answer from Li Tai, but as long as he is willing to accept money, he will definitely deal with Fang Jun with all his strength. No matter how arrogant and domineering Fang Jun is, he will never lose face. Not even to King Wei, right?
As long as Fang Jun relents, there will be room for maneuver.
Afraid that Fang Jun's anger over the near-death situation would come out all at once, he wouldn't give the Shen family any room to change, and would just let the navy destroy the Shen family, and then everything would be over...
…
When Shen Lun walked out, Mu Yuanzuo cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations to Your Highness, I have received another sum of money and food. The prosperity of Tang Dynasty's culture and education will be around the corner, and Your Highness will be able to go down in history as soon as possible!"
"hehe!"
Li Tai laughed, unable to conceal his excitement, stroking his beard and sighed: "Everyone in the world knows that Fang Jun has an upright temperament, and he is as tough as a stick. You can see how he behaves in the world, but he knows how to choose between advancement and retreat. Even if he encounters something dangerous like an assassination, he still Being able to take the overall situation into consideration and tolerate it shows that there are many ignorant people in the world who cannot see through the shortcomings of this person's heart and the sophistication of the world."
Mu Yuanzuo was also deeply touched: "Before Xiaguan, I had many misunderstandings about the Duke of Yue, but later I had more contact with him, and I realized that the rumors about time were wrong. Xiaguan watched many people, and he was a hero in the world. There are many, but if there are any who really have the ambition to help the world and take the revitalization of the Tang Dynasty as their own responsibility, there are few who can surpass the Duke of Yue."
Li Tai thought of Fang Jun's various behaviors and agreed: "So the king regards him as a confidant, the prince regards him as a humerus, and even the father regards him as the pillar of the empire..."
Mu Yuanzuo sighed: "Yun Wen Yun Wu, he is an outstanding person in the world!"
The two expressed their admiration and admiration for Fang Jun, and then Mu Yuanzuo said: "There are still many well-known people outside the door waiting to see His Highness. The opportunity that the Duke of Yue has gained by narrowly surviving death should not be missed easily." .”
After all, Li Tai was not used to this kind of "blackmail" move, and said with some confusion: "I have always regarded Fang Jun as a confidant, but this time I took advantage of Fang Jun's almost death to make money wantonly. It's hard to feel relieved in my heart." , I wonder if Fang Jun will blame me."
"Although His Highness's move is demeaning, the starting point is for the cultural and educational prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, rather than for his own enjoyment. This alone is enough to make people all over the world admire and respect him. Besides, these people don't know that this is the relationship between His Highness and the Tang Dynasty.
The double act played by the Duke of Yue? But in order to calm the troubles and stabilize the family, they are willing to take out money and spend money to eliminate disasters. Therefore, Your Highness does not need to blame yourself, the Duke of Yue will definitely not blame. Even if they blame, they will only
I blame His Highness for being too gentle and letting him suffer the danger this time."
Mu Yuanzuo is a wonderful man. He made Li Tai laugh out loud with one sentence. Then he straightened his clothes and sat upright. Mu Yuanzuo said solemnly: "Then let them come in one by one. I, the lion, opened my mouth. Mu Governor
Let me beat the drum on the sidelines, let’s join hands and kill each other hard, and jointly contribute to the cultural and educational undertakings of the Tang Dynasty, okay?”
Mu Yuanzuo was overjoyed: "I have my wish, but I don't dare to ask my ears!"
Is being able to "rip off" money with King Wei Li Tai an opportunity that ordinary people can get? From then on, there was an additional friendship between himself and His Highness King Wei, and judging from His Highness King Wei's words and deeds, there was certainly some
He is unruly, but he is actually a practical person. As long as he has this friendship, when facing Jing'er, he will have an extra helper in the court.
This is the political capital that all foreign officials dream of!
He originally thought that King Wei and Fang Jun going south would bring him countless troubles, but unexpectedly, an unexpected combination of circumstances gave him the possibility of directly entering the center...
As expected, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and things in the world are impermanent.
