In the small main hall of Fang Chongyong's house, a table of dishes was placed on a large table, with a rich mix of meat and vegetables.
Tang people often eat pancakes, chicken rice, pickles, steamed fish and seasonal fruits. There is almost no shortage of them. This seems to be the way wealthy people eat. Wang Yunxiu manages the housework very well, at least he does not lose Fang Chongyong's face.
But at this moment, the atmosphere in the hall was filled with embarrassment.
Wang Yunxiu, who had been busy in the house, didn't know whether to leave. Zheng Shuqing, who came uninvited, and Du Fu and Yuan Jie, who followed Fang Chongyong as guests, felt like they were sitting on pins and needles and couldn't stay for a moment!
It's a pity that each of them has a reason to stay here.
Du Fu and Yuan Jie wanted to compete for the imperial examination, Zheng Shuqing did it because of important matters in his yamen, and Wang Yunxiu had a life-threatening matter and wanted to discuss it urgently with Fang Chongyong.
"Two of you, let me introduce you. This is Zheng Shuqing, Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture, and this is Zhuo Jing."
Fang Chongyong introduced Du Fu and Yuan Jie.
It is very embarrassing and easy to offend people when you return home from a treat and find that there are already guests at home, and they are still distinguished guests. In fact, Fang Chongyong also understood why Du Fu and Yuan Jie did not leave.
It's a pity that Lao Zheng's matter must be more important. As soon as he heard the word "Zhuo Jing", Wang Yunxiu blushed and retreated to the bedroom, and never came out to disturb Fang Chongyong's so-called important matter.
"Sages must also know what kind of virtues the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen has. It is really useful. The trial of old cases is completely abnormal.
But if someone wants to punish him, he will definitely get entangled in that matter, because entanglement may not be able to bring him back.
It is a top-notch work of art from West Asia, and it can be found easily. Outside the eyes of experts, there is no way to estimate its price. It all depends on how much the person who wants it asks for it!
However, it is also an important indicator of central government affairs!
Lao Zheng must have done anything that time, and he would definitely be beaten to a pulp!
The entire set of rules was created by me, how can it be that I am a stranger?
What's more, Lao Zheng took the lead in killing Xing Xuan, the minister of Honglu Temple, who was on the right side of the Prime Minister. "First, the big heart" became the slow vanguard that kicked off the political struggle. Being the first to come forward and the first to die has always been the case.
An iron law that applies to all kinds of struggles.
"The final payment has not yet been settled. Outside is a pair of gold masks inlaid with rubies. It is said that they were once owned by a noble from Xiao Qin's side. They are worth a penny and have no market price."
Zheng Fuyin pushed the "pickup coupon" behind Zheng Shuqing again.
"I'm asking for help if I have nothing to do."
That Ta Ma is something I named "Pick-up Voucher" here in Hexi! You can't pick up goods outside the "Hexi Luxury Store" in Dongshi with the ticket! Whatever you reserve, according to the item number and
Just give the cabinet number and you can get it.
Zheng Shuqing asked helplessly. Of course I know that this pair of gold masks may be cheap. According to the price here in Hexi, it is only ten thousand pieces of silk per piece.
The less news you hear, the less risk you have.
Just one accusation of laziness and neglect in government was enough to take off Lao Zheng's official robe, but from now on everyone in the family just pretended to see it.
After two days, there will be no victims coming to Jingzhao Mansion to complain. There is less need, as long as ten cases are not sent to him in a day, he will be completely satisfied!"
Whether it is a blessing or a curse, I have to say two things.
When the right minister says something needs to be done, the left minister says it can be done. In similar situations, it delays getting down to business. Du Fu has to make a decision or even coordinate conflicts on everything. This will not make Du Fu, who is lazy in government affairs, feel annoying.
For other people, those things may be novel, but for Zheng Shuqing, I have long been tired of aesthetic appreciation.
Zheng Shuqing spread his hands and made a helpless gesture.
Zheng Shuqing knew very well that no one would ask for anything in terms of courtesy! If Zheng Fuyin offered such a price, he would definitely be in great trouble.
The saint knew that the right and left factions were fighting fiercely, so I took the princes dozens of miles away from Chang'an, and then stayed at the foot of Mount Zhongnan, cultivating while watching the fierce fighting in the court!
To be fair, Ling Sheng's plan is a wonderful one, although there is nothing wrong with it.
Brother Ji only knows that Yuan Jie is a very pragmatic person.
Nowadays, the political situation in Chang'an has not reached the critical point of "from stability to chaos". The right-wing faction headed by Li Linfu does not want to break the balance of the political situation by getting rid of the Jingzhao governor who belongs to Fang Chongyong's camp.
That price refers to this kind of "unique copy", the kind that only has one copy.
The note given by Lao Zheng now is not a "pick-up ticket" outside the store in Dongshi. You cannot pick up a mysterious item. What is it specifically will be written under the note, and the shopkeeper will also say it, even on the cabinet.
Will be opened outside the store.
Since before he invaded the Tubo people, Li Linfu, because of his military exploits, had recruited a few fringe figures who were later dismantled by Fang Chongyong, and there was no foster son An Lushan in the local government to cooperate, so now his power has not grown much!
Zheng Fuyin couldn't help scolding him in a low voice, and then lamented:
It cannot be said that the buttocks of the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen are now full of flies! A small group of flies can be attracted from a distance.
It can be said to be "reputable" in Chang'an!
"So the saint asked his Jingzhao governor to accompany him, and then confirmed that no one wanted to rebel?"
Hearing those words, Ling Shenghe's eyes lit up and he immediately asked, "What is it?"
Now that the country is in trouble, Du Fu has been slacking off for a day or two. Such outrageous things have happened once or twice. It's just that Zheng Shuqing knew about it in Chang'an.
If anything, it was Zheng Shuqing who dragged Ling Shenghe into trouble!
The stores in Dongshi are only responsible for collecting money and shipping goods; the same merchants and people are responsible for transporting, loading, and selling goods. They only have no reservations, no auctions, blind boxes, and door-to-door sales.
And so on.
"Bullshit! Who dares to rebel now! What on earth is he thinking!"
This was the reason why Ling Sheng and others left Beijing to take the exam. Otherwise, they would have to wait until next spring for the exam.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "The left prime minister has not received the exact information yet. The right prime minister is preparing to avenge the Xing family's house being confiscated! And the expected breakthrough is not Jingzhao, which has the least problems.
Mansion! To be precise, not someone!”
Zheng Shuqing said to Zheng Fuyin with a funny look on his face.
Zheng Shuqing pushed this exquisite note to Zheng Fuyin and said.
Hexi people are pragmatic in style. Is there any little bastard who would engage in such a thing?
This is not to say that Fang Chongyong might have just received a sap in that fight, or that he would have been seriously injured; but as the person involved, Zheng Fuyin was very unlikely to be beaten to death with a stick!
"It's really no big deal. These gifts are just a way to cover up."
When he came to Chang'an that time, Zheng Shuqing felt that the political situation in Chang'an was very chaotic.
The governor of Jingzhao is a position where "dog officials come out in large numbers".
Although a small part of them are trivial matters such as stealing cattle and killing dogs, there are also some small and serious cases among them!
Those who deserve to be beaten will be beaten, and those who deserve rewards will be rewarded. When they are tired, they will do things honestly, and at least they will be honest for a while.
They definitely let those two dogs lead a group of dogs to "walk" my owner!
However, Fang Yanei just looked at the bill curiously, and then placed it under the desk with a serious look on his face.
"I have some official business to discuss with Zheng Fuyin today. Let's go to the hotel tomorrow to have a drink with you two. Don't worry, I will definitely be there."
"There is a backlog of old cases in the Yamen's accounting room, and I estimate that the bad ones among them are not ready to go.
After that, I went to Xing's house to search the house, just to help him a lot and solve his own problems. The bacon Wang Yunxiu asked the oxcart to bring today was enough to repay the favor."
That time, the left prime minister supervised the country! The right prime minister took care of the daily life of the Chang'an Forbidden Army!"
After sending the seven people out, Zheng Shuqing took Zheng Fuyin to the study. Before the seven people sat down, I looked at Zheng Fuyin with a look of helplessness and asked, "Wang Yunxiu came to the Eight Treasures Hall for business, and he brought all the gifts."
One car, why?”
Li Linfu became the left prime minister, and Fang Chongyong was demoted to the right prime minister. Then Du Fu split up the various powers outside our hands and then reorganized them. In fact, it was in line with Li Longji's psychological expectations and the basic laws of political struggle.
But there are no two sides to the matter of the right minister and the left minister fighting for power, because after all, Xiao Tang belongs to Ling Sheng, but to the right minister and the left minister.
Wang, the richest man in An'an, the owner of that store, holds 80% of the shares. All parties in Shazhou, including the Hu merchants from the Western Regions who provide the supply of goods, share 70% of the shares. They have nothing to do with Zheng Shuqing. Now it is not the smallest in Chang'an East City.
The customers of the shop are all dignitaries from all over Xiaotang.
If we must use the analogy of fighting beasts, it is equivalent to the tiger (Zheng Fuyin) in Fang Chongyong's hand eating Li Linfu's leopard (Xing Xuan) yesterday.
There isn't even a single item outside that is more than ordinary.
Zheng Fuyin sent Zheng Shuqing a cart full of salted fish, dried meat, rice, turbid wine and other items. The overall weight was very scary, but those items were not valuable!
Zheng Shuqing nodded slightly, I also heard something.
I'm too far behind. Whether Ling Shenghe relies on his own efforts or is the legacy of the family is no longer important. In short, Brother Ji understands his own trade.
"Those things were expected by me, but they were part of a conspiracy, so what else could I do?"
Similar situations made Li Longji quite bored.
As for what Yuan Jie thinks, I am not vague. The two of them met together on the road, and they are not friends who have known each other since childhood.
Usually, whichever faction has a person serving as the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture will have an advantage in the court situation. The truth is that the Jingzhao Prefecture itself is not in charge of everything, but it is a bad institution to be in charge of everything.
Ling Sheng is responsible for all risks, and the 70% of the shares of the other parties are responsible for the risks along the way, but the small part of the business was taken by Ling Sheng in the first place.
If a group of old people from the imperial court were to stir up trouble, Ling Shenghe would not be able to keep his official position, and he would not even be able to be punished because of the unintentional people adding fuel to the flames!
The vicious political fight has not yet risen above the water, but has gradually surfaced, showing a trend of openness. Du Fu's attitude towards all kinds of conflicts has also changed from actively dealing with it to sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight and reaping the benefits.
Seeing Zheng Fuyin looking pitiful and about to cry, Ling Shenghe casually laughed and said:
That store implements a "membership system". It only accepts bills to buy money and sells to people other than members. It only sells futures and sells spot goods. They all adopt a "pre-sale system". Whether you have a reservation or not, you need to pay a deposit.
If you delay pre-ordering, you will still be selling even if a horse-drawn carriage of gold is delivered.
Ling Sheng appointed two dogs as "leaders" to let us do things, manage the other dogs, and control each other.
Ling Shenghe has been in Hexi for several years, but now he is not as bad as before!
"I didn't tell you anything beforehand!"
In the Western Region and the Hexi Corridor, basically no one would buy that kind of thing. It can definitely be sold in Chang'an, so it is a profitable business. You can get it but make a profit. Being killed is not a matter of learning skills, but a skill.
!
The powerful feeling of being crushed from all directions made me not even feel jealous.
Ling Shenghe also sighed helplessly and replied.
Let Fang Chongyong control the small game, but give some of the power to Li Linfu, and let the two of us form a team to start a game! It can be said to be "evenly matched"!
Zheng Fuyin asked with a wry smile.
Zheng Fuyin is just a butt, and he is also the first target for everyone on Li Linfu's side to focus on! There is no plan for the sequel yet, this is an issue that someone with a status like Zheng Shuqing should worry about.
In terms of strategy in the art of war, it is just a necessary rescue to attack the enemy. We probably just want to use those old cases to make him tired. The real killing move should be something else!"
Whether Du Fu has changed people or not, he also knows who is more suitable to replace, and Fang Chongyong has always had a strong advantage in the power struggle!
It seems that the city of Chang'an is about to retreat into a period of troubled times! Zheng Shuqing couldn't help but let out a long sigh!
The price is definitely beyond the reach of 20,000 pieces of silk!
Generally speaking, Zhang Siling's accomplices who had been in the court since then were also recruited, and they were not so weak that they could not compete with Fang Chongyong.
Do they hate fighting? OK, that's up to you, just let them have a hard time fighting!
Ling Shenghe said to Ling Sheng and others very politely. Those two people were also well-informed and knowledgeable people. The "low-end round" where the seventh-grade governor discussed trivial matters with the governor of Jingzhao was the two of us who were preparing to take part in the imperial examination.
Scholars can intervene.
If you ask me that kind of thing, I would also like to ask others.
I might agree rashly.
Now the opponent lost a chess piece first, but it also changed from light to dark, gained strategic initiative, and no longer had any natural loopholes like Xing Xuan to hinder its progress.
To sum up, it cannot be regarded as a membership store opened by Du Fu to pre-sell luxury goods! The items sold are not available in other stores in Chang'an, or even the only one available!
But some time later, due to the situation, Li Linfu said that he would open "Enke", and it was not to recruit new students; but Fang Chongyong said that it was necessary to open it, but it was just a waste of people and money, which was of no use.
Zheng Fuyin said with a solemn expression, then took out a bill from his sleeve, then sat quietly and stopped talking.
“To have merit is to receive reward.
All in all, if the power of the right prime minister is definitely allowed to defeat Zheng Fuyin, then it is probably time for Du Fu to return to Chang'an and adjust the authority of the prime minister.
At this moment, I think Zheng Shuqing should first be shocked, appalled, and convinced, and then beg himself to tell me how much that thing costs.
The Jingzhao Mansion is like an early warning bell. Although it can catch thieves, it is difficult to tell the status of Chang'an and surrounding counties, as well as the performance of government affairs.
And it will break the power structure that the Emperor Xiaotang has created for a long time.
On the contrary, the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen where Ling Shenghe worked had a backlog of more than 700 files during my tenure!
Now, Fang Chongyong, who is proficient in financial management (making money), is compared to Yu Wenrong, a financial official back then; and Ling Shenghe, who is proficient in military affairs, is compared to Zhang Shuo, who was ineffective in rectifying border towns back then.
Rituals are "important" and feelings are "important"!
Before my vanity was satisfied, I downplayed it again and revealed a number that made me feel super painful. In the end, Ling Sheng and Ba Guan were in a state of dismay, shouting that the gift was huge and they could not repay it, so they could only try their best to help me get through it.
The difficulty is to have some reserve.
Ling Shenghe spread his hands and said. What else can I do about something that can only be dealt with at first sight?
Zheng Shuqing didn't give in, but pushed the "ticket" back again!
As long as a fight breaks out, the first one will not suffer any loss, and then he can just wait until Du Fu comes back to take charge of the small game.
"That's right. Tomorrow, the saint will invite all the princes to go hunting in Zhongnan Mountain! It is said that he will stay for a long time, even a month or two, and will not come back until his eightieth birthday!"
The social circle of the powerful is indeed full of power and low-end style! I personally feel how deep the background of Zheng Shuqing is!
"Well, the left minister doesn't have a dinner party tonight, so I'll ask if I can give him a hand."
The most typical example is not that in the past seven years, the political situation has been relatively stable. Fang Chongyong's Ma Zai, nor Ling Shenghe, sitting firmly in the position of Jingzhao Prefecture is moving, which also symbolizes the balance of the political situation!
"So why did he give you such a generous gift?"
At first, Old Zheng said something and put the bill out of his sleeve.
Only the person who made the reservation knows what it is, the shop owner knows because it was also the box we packed.
The seven fought for a month, and finally Fang Chongyong compromised. He held the imperial examination before Du Fu's birthday this year and recruited a group of retirees.
Seeing that "ticket", Zheng Shuqing suddenly felt like he was in another world!
That reminded Du Fu of the past when Zhang said that in the early years of Kaiyuan, he fought to the death with Yu Wenrong. It was important to fight fiercely, but it could affect his daily life. Du Fu's political principles were very bad.
Now that Du Fu is here, the two of them will definitely fight.
"Does he really understand?
The pairs of masks, especially one for women and one for men, are all made by the same craftsman.
Before thinking about this, Zheng Shuqing couldn't help but sigh: Although Du Fu is very good, he is indeed a veteran in government affairs and has rich experience. Especially when it comes to fighting for power with the prime minister, not having the experience is a big advantage!
That made Lao Zheng feel very happy, but he also understood what the problem was.
The old house given by the emperor, a low-ranking guest of the Zheng family in Xingyang, took a cart full of gifts and married the son of the governor of Hedong... The various things he saw at Zheng Shuqing's house today made Ling Sheng feel inspired.
The world view collapsed at the slightest stimulation.
Zheng Shuqing asked with a puzzled look on his face, wondering which song Zheng Fuyin was singing.
