Chapter 1102: The Fan family admits defeat and discusses matters in court
"My Fan family has lasted for nearly a hundred years, and I have countless descendants and former officials! In officialdom, whether it is in the court or in the county, there are our people openly or covertly. In terms of financial resources, my Shao family has More than a million dollars?
As for manpower, there are thousands of servants, guards and dead soldiers in our house! These people can become the swords in the hands of our Fan family. Even if they are really dead, they will not have any impact on my Fan family!"
"However, if someone from my Fan family is really involved, even if we can get away with it, the damage will be great!"
"Do you think you were not convicted this time because they couldn't find you?
It's just that Shen Tang doesn't want to completely fall out with the Fan family and the Wang family! However, the government official related to my Fan family was directly sentenced to death. This is a warning from him to you and my Fan family! This is That’s why I want you to stop!”
"Now, you understand!"
Fan Yongchang nodded unwillingly. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. He has been defeated!
"Look, you don't even know who your opponent is, how can you talk about victory or defeat?"
With that said, Fan Zhize handed a booklet to Fan Yongchang's hand!
Fan Yongchang opened it and took a look. After a moment, his face was full of astonishment, "Father, that princess of the Jin Kingdom has so much power in the North?"
Moreover, Princess Guangling is actually in Shen Tang’s house, and is she worthy of his wives and concubines?”
Fan Zhize and Wang Hui naturally knew about these things, but they were a secret to Fan Yongchang. Therefore, seeing his powerful opponents, he was surprised and a little scared!
Of course he knew the strength of the Fan family, but even if he saw such an opponent, he was still extremely horrified!
A princess with great magical powers from the Jin Kingdom, a princess from the Song Dynasty, and the Shaosheng family from Jiangnan. He is not belittling himself. To be honest, compared with such opponents, he has only this small loss now, and he is extremely lucky. .
"alright!"
Fan Zhize patted Fan Yongchang on the shoulder, "This matter is over here! Tomorrow, I will give my father a generous gift from the Shangfu Yamen. I don't think Shen Tang will continue to pursue it.
In addition, I will leave the business matters to your third brother for the time being!"
"Father!"
Fan Yongchang’s expression changed drastically!
"You have to remember that business matters are just trivial matters, and money is not the foundation of my Fan family! This year is the year of the scientific examination. If you can be named on the gold list next year, this is the most important thing to our Fan family! If one day you can set foot in the court, with the support of my disciples and former officials of the Fan family, why fear a mere Shen Tang?
So, from now on, all your experiences must be placed on top of the scientific examination, and you don’t need to worry about the rest!"
Fan Yongchang was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand!"
The next day, Shen Tang was handling official business in the front hall when a clerk came to report, "Sir, Fan Zhize, the head of the Fan family in Huayang County, wants to see you!"
Shen Tang thought for a moment, and then said to Lu Feng beside him, "Lu Feng, go and meet the head of the family! This time, the matter can be revealed, and the Fan family can give up 20% of the tea business!"
Since it is the other party who takes the initiative to provoke, Shen Tang will naturally not show mercy! The winner will naturally have to gain something! As for whether the Fan family will agree, Shen Tang is not worried! 20% of the business can only be said to be a huge loss for the Fan family , but far from reaching the level of breaking the muscles and bones.
Moreover, I am afraid that these two families will also be aware of that matter. Once they are aware of it, the Wang and Fan families will shrink as much as possible, whether in terms of strength or business, and use this to cope with the possible impact they will suffer next.
Therefore, although the Fan family is not willing to accept it, it cannot tolerate them!
Sure enough, after about two quarters of an hour, Lu Feng returned!
"Sir, the Fan family agrees! Their shop in Chengdu Mansion and the three tea mountains will all be given away!"
Lu Feng said respectfully.
Shen Tang nodded slightly, "Just tell Shopkeeper Mao directly about this matter and ask him to take over! In addition, let the people from Anye Pavilion investigate secretly first to avoid being plotted by the Fan family!"
"Don't worry, sir!"
Lu Feng nodded and agreed...
Lin'an Imperial City, above the imperial court!
After the ministers reported, Zhuang Chi, the Minister of Rites, came out and said, "Your Majesty, please give me your instructions on how to proceed with the peace talks with the Dali Kingdom! The Dali Kingdom's envoy has been waiting for two days, and they want to come to see your Majesty!"
"No need!"
As soon as Zhao Shen opened his mouth, everyone in the court was shocked! What do you mean it's unnecessary?
Are we going to stop talking about good peace talks?
However, without waiting for anyone to ask, Zhao Shen said, "I have decided to send a mission to Dali Kingdom and take charge of the peace talks! Although they have a mission here, even if we put forward any conditions, I am afraid we cannot directly Promise.
Instead of wasting time traveling back and forth, it’s better to send the envoy directly there!”
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
As soon as Zhao Shen finished speaking, Zhang Jun and Ma Shao stood up to respond! The other courtiers were stunned!
What exactly is this operation?
Ignore the other party's mission and send people there yourself?
That's not what I said before...
"Your Majesty, is there something wrong with this?
If we send a mission to hold peace talks in Dali, then the other party will have the right time and place, which will be disadvantageous to us. It is better to hold peace talks directly with their mission! Even if we can't reach an agreement, it doesn't matter. After all, it is Dali that is taking the initiative to seek peace. ! Moreover, as long as we lower some conditions, we are not afraid that they will not respond! After all, they are the ones who are anxious now..." Ye Yong said cautiously.
He always felt that something was different about His Majesty recently. Nowadays, the civil and military affairs of the entire dynasty have almost become decorations. His Majesty makes many decisions personally, and even directly bypasses the Zhongshu Province to handle them. This is by no means a good sign!
It's just that Zhao Shen's power in the court is not small now! Ma Shao is Zhao Shen's confidant, Zhang Jun is his loyal supporter, and even Shi Hao tends to the imperial power in most decisions. For a time, his right-hand man The phase is a bit lonely and difficult to support!
"I have decided on this matter!"
Zhao Shen now looked down upon his ministers more and more. After all the talk, there was no one he could use. "Zhang Aiqing, who do you think is more appropriate to send as envoy for this mission?"
Zhang Jun looked at the people around him with a smile, then went out and said, "Your Majesty, this peace negotiation is related to the stability of the border of the Song Dynasty, so it is natural that people who take it easy will not do it.
However, our Song Dynasty also has talented people in this field. I think back then, the peace talks with the Kingdom of Jin brought a lot of benefits to our Song Dynasty. Moreover, the border between our Song Dynasty and the Kingdom of Jin is still peaceful, so , the old minister thought that it would be enough to just let the envoys from back then go! I think it will not disappoint His Majesty’s holy will!”
“I think it’s inappropriate!”
Ye Yong didn't understand it at first, but after thinking about it, wasn't the person Zhang Jun was talking about Shen Tang?
The peace talks involved many interests, how could Shen Tang be allowed to go?
