Literati look down on martial artists, which is something that has long been observed. In the eyes of scholars, everything except what is taught by saints is irrelevant and not orthodox. In addition, martial arts only know how to fight fiercely.
People who are brave only know how to do things with brute strength and don’t know how to use their brains. Naturally, such people will become despised in the eyes of scholars.
After being scolded by Shi Zitong, the guard's face showed no change at all, let alone any anger. Perhaps he has experienced such things a lot and has long been accustomed to it. "Mr. Shi, right? The master of a certain family is waiting for you over there. If
If you want to solve the problem at hand, our master can help."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Shi Zitong to give any results, the guard turned around and left, looking certain that Shi Zitong would definitely follow.
The guard left, leaving Shi Zitong with a stunned look on his face. He finally knew that they didn't stop him for no reason, but already knew his identity, so he came here intentionally. He thought that someone could solve his problem.
, he finally decided to go and see her.
In any case, if you just meet one person, you won't suffer much. If the other person is unable to help him, he can just turn around and leave. This is broad daylight, and in the street with people coming and going, the other person dares to confront him
Can you use force yourself?
With the idea of giving it a try, Shi Zitong hesitated for only about five breaths, then followed the guard and walked straight to the carriage.
The two parties were not far apart at first, and soon arrived in front of the carriage. Shi Zitong, who was standing still, followed the etiquette of a scholar, first clasped his fists, and then said politely: "A certain Shi Zitong, but I don't know who you are?"
"Haha, Mr. Shi, you must know my prince." The curtain of the carriage was opened, revealing Tang Xiu's smile that could make people feel like a spring breeze.
"His Royal Highness?" Shi Zitong certainly recognized Tang Xiu. This man had sent greetings to Prince Xiang's Mansion more than once and asked for an audience. However, Prince Xiang rejected them all unceremoniously, but the other party didn't seem angry either.
After a while, I will always ask for it again.
This kind of thing happened many times, so Shi Zitong had naturally noticed it for a long time, and therefore knew Tang Xiu and his identity.
Precisely because he knew his identity, Shi Zitong also supported King Xiang's policy of avoiding him. After all, who didn't know that Zongzheng and the emperor would not deal with each other? Then if King Xiang and Tang Xiu had close contacts, the emperor would hear it
Will there be any bad effects?
Who would do such a thing that the gain outweighs the loss by making friends with someone and letting His Majesty have an opinion?
Therefore, Prince Xiang's Mansion has never had anything to do with Tang Xiu, so much so that his staff did not want to have any contact with him? After seeing that the person who wanted to see him was Tang Xiu, Shi Zitong's face showed
He put on a smile that was uglier than crying, "Well, I just wanted to come home and have some things to deal with, so I'm going to leave first."
Shi Zitong was about to turn around and leave, not wanting to get into trouble. But Tang Xiu, who was sitting in the carriage, was already prepared. With a soft drink, Shi Zitong stopped involuntarily as he was about to leave. "What? Mr. Shi wants to do it."
A catastrophe is imminent, why should we still think about paying attention to the impact?"
This shout caused the scene of King Xiang's rage to appear in Shi Zitong's mind involuntarily.
Yes, I failed to complete the task, messed up the matter, and lost the face of King Xiang. If I just go back like this, will King Xiang spare me?
I'm afraid that because of King Xiang's character, he will definitely deal with him severely. Can his small body withstand the torment? If King Xiang abandons himself, wouldn't it mean that there is no future and no hope in life?
hope?
Thinking about it again, Han Ce was afraid that he might have disliked him a long time ago and might take this opportunity to add insult to injury.
There is also Zheng Qi, although he recommended it to King Xiang well. But he is clearly a person who puts interests first. When such a person is powerful, he will naturally obey you in everything. But once he leaves Maicheng
, I’m afraid I’m just eager to come up and step on you.
At this time, Shi Zitongcai sadly discovered that without the support of King Xiang, he would have nothing. Even if Crown Prince Tang Xiu was willing to find him, why not do it for the sake of King Xiang?
Shi Zitong, who finally understood that he had left King Xiang and died, slowly turned his head. When he looked at Tang Xiu on the carriage, his eyes became more serious, "Your Majesty, King Xiang's attitude towards you is not the best."
It's so easy to change, even if someone is willing to say it, I'm afraid it won't have any effect."
"Haha." After listening to Shi Zitong's answer, Tang Xiu laughed. These words had proved that Shi Zitong was considering things for him. How far could he be from being used to his advantage? "It doesn't matter, Prince Xiang's attitude will change.
Isn't this an opportunity? Unless Prince Xiang wants to lose all face. Well, come here, I will tell you in detail..."
Naturally, Shen Ao would no longer pay attention to what happened after Shi Zitong left the house. To him, he was just a small person, the most ordinary passer-by in his life. Whether he lived or died had nothing to do with him.
There are still many things that Shen Ao needs to do. After returning home and having lunch, Shen Ao went to the location where the tomb was built. The dead have passed away, so they should be buried earlier. This is what Shen Ao is doing now
The top priority to get done in a hurry.
On the land where the Cenotaph is located, a tall and majestic palace has already taken shape, and is now undergoing capping work. And this was only built in two days. This speed makes everyone who sees it unbearable.
Stay amazed.
Among them, in addition to Shen Ao regardless of the cost and not afraid of spending money, the people who went to work were also the result of twelve hours of non-stop work and hard work. When these craftsmen knew that they were working for the defense
After the sacrificed warriors built the cenotaph, they all put in 100% effort and worked hard with a sense of reverence.
With everyone working together, and having the construction drawings already in hand, and making adequate preparations for everything needed in advance, the progress was naturally much faster.
"Very good." Seeing the construction of the project going so fast, Shen Ao was very satisfied after arriving here, but he still did not forget to tell him: "All the sacrificed warriors must have nameplates, and none of them can be forgotten to protect their loved ones.
You can come to express condolences at any time and you can find him."
In this battle, the rangers sacrificed a total of 426 people in addition to the wounded. According to Shen Ao's requirements, each of the victims must have their own independent spiritual place. Not only is this the case this time, who will be responsible for it in the future?
Those who died in the battle to defend Daqian will all have nameplates and be placed here. Fortunately, Emperor Qianwen supported this matter, and the approved area was large enough, and can be expanded in the future, so there is no need to worry about more
The spiritual tablet was brought in but could not be placed.
When Shen Ao's arrangements were heard by the master craftsmen, especially Xu Heng, who was responsible for leading the matter, they all showed admiration. People say that death is like a lamp going out, but how many people will truly remember it? You, this young loyal Duke, went against the norm and collected the bones and clothes of these people so that they could have land to live on and enjoy the fireworks of future generations. This is the greatest charity.
In this way, who would not praise the young Duke's affection and justice? I dare not say anything else. If he needs to fight with others in the future, I am afraid that the loyal Duke only needs to climb up and shout, and there will be many followers. Then At this time, it is not an exaggeration to say that everything is answered once and for all.
Shen Ao is still working hard on the tomb, and is also gaining the hearts of the people and even the military. In the Hall of Yangxin, Emperor Qianwen is looking at his former brother, the current royal Zongzheng Tang Qinghe.
His face was very calm, and nothing strange could even be seen in his eyes. But at this moment, Emperor Qianwen's heart was burning like a fire, an angry flame. He could not have imagined that Zong Zheng's hand could be stretched so long. He and his prince got together.
Zong Zheng came here to plead for King Xiang.
It's just that the smart Tang Qinghe didn't speak out. Instead, he made suggestions to Emperor Qianwen on the basis that Daqian needed to be stabilized and the royal family's reputation needed to be maintained. That was about the matter of Prince Xiang and Prince Qing mortgaging their property to Daqian Bank. You can pay back the money, and you can pay back the interest on time. But it is better not to collect property or other things, otherwise it will only damage the face of the royal family and cause uninformed people to talk about it.
Yu Gong, Tang Qinghe holds the position of Zongzheng, that is, the patriarch of the royal Tang family. He has the power to maintain the face and interests of the Tang family.
In private, Tang Qinghe is also the uncle of King Qing and King Xiang, so it is reasonable for elders to care about their juniors.
Due to the existence of these factors, Zong Zheng went to Emperor Qianwen to plead for mercy, and Emperor Qianwen was speechless.
"Your Majesty, the face of the royal family must not be ignored. If Duke Zhongguo is allowed to take over the properties of Prince Qing and Prince Xiang, what will the uninformed people think? How will those ministers see it? Is Daliang City still the country of Daqian? Here Is it still our Tang family’s world? Your Majesty, please think twice."
What Tang Qinghe said was true, but Emperor Qianwen didn't see the slightest sign of sincerity on his face. People had just said that the money lost in the middle would be paid by Zongzheng Mansion, so why should Zongzheng Mansion's money not be paid by the imperial court? Funded from?
After all, after going around in such a big circle, he still has to pay the bill in the end. How could Emperor Qianwen be happy?
Although he knew that Daqian Bank was established with his support, neither King Xiang nor King Qing ever considered his feelings as a father when he came up with the idea. Now that things are impossible to do, he has to After suffering a loss, I thought of using Zong Zhengfu's money to make up for the loss. I am not willing to take any risks emotionally.
