When a new day arrived, Shen Ao had breakfast with Bai Qiutong in the morning, and then strode out of the Duke's Mansion. At this time, the five hundred cavalry guards had been prepared and were standing under the leadership of Feng Xun and others. Standing outside the gate of the mansion.
"Come back soon." Bai Qiutong said like a little daughter-in-law sending her husband off, with a look of concern and worry.
Shen Ao, who had already turned around, suddenly turned around after hearing this, and then walked up to Bai Qiutong in full view of everyone, stretched out his hand and hugged him tightly. "Don't worry, you will be fine at home, waiting for so-and-so to come back."
Shen Ao whispered into Bai Qiutong's ear, and the hot air penetrated into her ears, which immediately caused Bai Qiutong to blush with embarrassment. She wished she could hide her head in her clothes and no longer expose it.
Shen Ao just used the etiquette of later generations to greet him and expressed his feelings. But after the real hug, he noticed that everyone was looking at him in surprise. He couldn't help but shrugged his shoulders, embarrassed. He smiled. Then he got into the carriage without looking at the faces of the people.
"She's really brave." Xuefei saw Bai Qiutong lowering her head and not daring to look at anyone, so she walked forward and muttered in a low voice. Then she let out a silver bell-like laugh. , also got into the carriage, leaving behind Bai Qiutong, whose whole neck was flushed with shame, and her whole body just felt soft and turned into a ball of muddy water, as if she no longer had the courage to stand.
"Let's go." Shi Lei, the chief of guard, was already looking intently at this time. He sighed at the young master's boldness. But at the same time, he did not forget his own responsibilities. With a loud shout, everyone came to their senses and the team went straight from the street to the north gate of Daliang City. Go in the direction.
As soon as Shen Ao entered the carriage and before he was fully seated, a pretty figure got in, and a refreshing fragrance hit his nostrils.
"Haha." Xuefei got into the carriage and was still chuckling, obviously still thinking about Bai Qiutong's shy look. However, a big hand suddenly stretched out and pulled her up by the waist.
With Xuefei's strength, it was very easy to avoid it, but she didn't do that. She knew it was Shen Ao's hand, and she knew it was her future husband who did it. She didn't struggle at the moment and let him do whatever he wanted.
He hugged Xue Fei tightly, and Shen Ao smiled, "It's better for two people to hug each other to keep them warm."
"Bah!" Xuefei, who was blushing, finally couldn't bear it anymore and said coquettishly: "It's September now, where is the cold?"
"Huh? You don't understand. The young master's heart feels cold. But holding you now makes you feel much warmer." Shen Ao said arrogantly. At the same time, he was lamenting how many people in this evil old society could marry with money. There are two wives, and the important women know each other's existence and are not angry. They usually get along with each other as sisters, which is simply unimaginable in future generations.
Sitting in the carriage, holding Xuefei in his arms, time seemed to pass quickly. When he was about to leave the North City Gate, Shi Lei, who was driving the carriage, shouted to stop, and then his voice was heard in the carriage. ."Master, Prince Tang Yi is standing in front of the city gate."
"Oh? Brother Yi is here?" After hearing the news, Shen Ao reluctantly let go of Xue Fei, and then opened the car curtain, where he saw Tang Yi standing under the protection of Cheng Shan and others. In front of the city gate.
As soon as he saw Shen Ao walking out of the horse, Tang Yi's face was filled with smiles. This time, Shen Ao was able to go to Liaozhou in person. He was very grateful in his heart. He also thought that Shen Ao really regarded himself as a He became a brother and set off immediately after finishing the work on the tomb of the martyrs. Based on this, he had to accept the love and send him off in person.
Of course, gratitude was not just words, Tang Yi also wrote a special letter home to his father, and this time he entrusted Shen Ao to take it with him.
Normally, family letters can be sent in many ways, but they must be sent by Shen Ao, in order to tell his father that his relationship with Shen Ao is very good, and even for his own sake, he must not make things difficult for Shen Ao. Pride is what it is.
Shen Ao strode forward and looked at Tang Yi with a smile. He had heard his uncle say a lot about King Zhong these days, and he knew about the discord between His Majesty and King Zhong. Thinking about how he had How ridiculous it is to still want to find King Zhong as a backer. This is clearly a force that cannot be used at all. Once Shen Ao announces an alliance with him, Emperor Qianwen will probably take care of himself when he announces it.
In this way, Shen Ao could only give up his previous ideas and even made preparations in other aspects. Maybe one day, they would become opponents or enemies because of their positions. But Shen Ao only hoped that before that day comes , he can still continue to be friends with Tang Yi.
And this time I went to Liaozhou in person, not just for Tang Yi's sake. Shen Ao knew very well that if Daqian Bank wanted to develop and grow, it needed the bank's business to go out. It would be best if he could travel all over the world. All over the world, in this way, banknotes can truly reach all directions and be accepted by more people.
From this point of view alone, he and Tang Yi have a common goal. Even so, there is the possibility of temporarily getting together, and there is now mutual help.
The moment Shen Ao stepped forward and saluted Tang Yi, Shen Ao knew that this trip to Liaozhou should go very smoothly.
...
Wuyonghou Mansion.
A middle-aged man with a cold expression and a thick beard was sitting on a chair sipping tea. After the sound of footsteps, he slowly raised his head and saw his eldest son Qiu Hequan walking away. Came over.
"Father." Qiu Hequan bowed and saluted, showing respect on his face.
"Yeah." The middle-aged man, who is also the Marquis of Wu Yong, Qiu Chun, nodded slightly, "How is it? Have you walked through it all?"
"Back to my father, I have followed your instructions to visit several princes' mansions. Among them, Yong'an Hou Zhang Zhen and Yuanding Hou Zhu Ke have made it clear that if anything happens, they will definitely stand on our side." Qiu Hequan said in a tone of voice. He said with some excitement.
Qiu Hequan respected his father very much. This time he had just returned to Daliang City and was able to find so many allies among the generals. It gave him a new understanding of his father's abilities. He had a feeling , the father may become the spokesperson among the generals, and if so, as his eldest son, he still has great prospects for development.
Compared to Qiu Hequan's excitement, Qiu Chun was very calm, which was what he had expected. Even the people in the general's sect were all people who had experienced the baptism of war. Such people were the most unruly. It is also destined that they will not be easily convinced. For example, if Zhongcheng Hou Shen Yunyi actually wants to integrate this force and become its leader, how can he not be wary of others.
Before, because no one stood up to challenge Shen Yunyi, he was allowed to jump up and down. But now that he is back, how can he let his family grow?
It's time to stand up and tell others that not only Shen Yunyi is among the generals, but also the Wu Yonghou himself. "Prepare your horses and go to Duke Zhu's Mansion."
The Duke Zhu Guo mentioned by Qiu Chun belonged to the older generation of generals. He also played a great role in Emperor Qianwen's seizure of the throne, and was granted the title of Duke. But in fact, Duke Zhu Guo was not very old, less than five years old. Only ten. Although he has been very low-key recently, just playing with some flowers and plants in his house, and looking aloof from the world, in fact, his influence is still huge. If he is willing to stand up and support himself, even if it is Being willing to stand in a neutral position will also be extremely beneficial to Marquis Wu Yong in dealing with Marquis Zhongcheng.
Marquis Wu Yong was in action, and Marquis Zhongcheng also received the news soon, but Shen Yunyi did not panic at all. He had never thought about integrating the generals. This was not only not his style, but also because he knew that this was What Emperor Qian Wen disallowed.
Emperor Qianwen, who has always been extremely suspicious, advocates keeping all power in his own hands. For example, he will not let others get involved in matters in the army. With this, as long as Shen Yunyi is not mentally broken, Since then, I have never thought about being a leader.
The reason why he has had more contacts with the generals recently is that in the final analysis, Shen Yunyi is more concerned about his nephew Shen Ao.
Shen Ao was the fourth prince of the current dynasty, and not many people outside knew about it. But as one of the insiders, Shen Yunyi had to have other thoughts. Especially after the former prince rebelled and was killed, his thoughts It became more and more intense.
Now that the former prince was killed, Prince Xiang failed to live up to expectations, and Prince Qing was ill, could Shen Ao, as the fourth prince, legitimately ascend to the throne of the emperor?
As soon as this idea appeared in his mind, he couldn't let it go. After that moment, Shen Yunyi began to make good friends with people in the general family, just because the day would come when he could give his nephew He gave me a big gift, and it was not in vain that he had been called uncle for so many years.
This time, taking advantage of the opportunity of sending horses, Shen Yunyi made friends with the generals, but at the same time he did not forget to attack those generals who looked down upon him, which angered Marquis Wu Yong.
If you mess with it, then mess with it, so what?
Shen Yunyi, who has always been fearless, naturally would not take what happened here seriously. He wanted to see if Emperor Qianwen would tolerate Marquis Wu Yong so blatantly befriending his generals and forming cliques.
And how is this Wu Yonghou going to deal with him? Does he really think that he is incapable of being pinched and can be bullied by others?
On the contrary, Shen Yunyi also hoped that Wu Yonghou could dance more joyfully. In this case, he was afraid that the emperor would deal with him without having to take action himself.
It has to be said that Shen Yunyi had his own considerations, and they were quite correct. It was just that he underestimated the ambition of Wu Yonghou, or in other words, he underestimated the person behind Wu Yonghou - the King of Southern Wu.
