Saddled with a loan sharking of 500,000 yuan, Jingtai collected 200,000 taels of tribute for Tianchu Kingdom and the Great Wall before this year, and asked Jing Dan, the most capable disciple in the clan, to quickly go to Kyoto with the gold and silver to take care of it.
Already.
Jingtai's biological son really couldn't do anything, and most of the younger members of the family couldn't get on the stage. The most outstanding one was his younger son Jingdan.
This kid once secretly ran away to join the Sharp Army. Although Feng Zhongye saw something fishy at a glance, he still pretended to let him complete the boot camp.
Of course, this kind of person cannot put him in danger. Even though he wanted to experience it himself, he was stopped by his family members who arrived in time.
Just before going home, most of the classmates who had gone on missions had returned. Jing Dan invited them to drink, and then he realized how brutal the real battle was, and those who had not returned would never come back.
But what shocked Jing Dan even more was that some people who were not as good as him had gained a ruthless composure after this battle, making Jing Dan clearly feel that he was far behind them.
And this is the great thing about Jing Dan, he can see the advantages and disadvantages of superiors and inferiors, he also knows that the sky is high and the earth is high, he knows life and death, and he understands how he is inferior to others.
Although his skills are inferior to those of others, it does not prevent Jing Dan from having a bright mind and a clear vision. After being trained in the sharp edge test, he is well versed in this skill and actually has a skill that other brothers cannot learn even if they are killed.
That is, no matter who he is, as soon as he takes a look at Jing Dan, he will immediately know who is the embroidered pillow, the donkey shit balls are shiny on the outside, and he has real ability that cannot be ignored, and he never misses anything when employing people.
The respect from the servants and subordinates was truly from the heart. Even if Jingtai and other senior uncles and senior officials pretended not to see Jing Dan stand out, as soon as Feng Zhongye agreed to his marriage to his granddaughter, the family fell in love.
I can no longer pretend to be blind.
With the support of Feng Mang Guan, Jing Dan successfully defeated Jing Tai's son and became the first candidate to inherit the title of Tianchu Kingdom.
But power and responsibility must be matched. Since you are all candidates, you must also share the affairs of Tianchu Kingdom. So Jing Dan took huge risks and brought a huge sum of money to represent his uncle and came to the Imperial City of Shendu to mediate.
Negotiated.
Who would have thought that when the house leaked, it rained all night, and Emperor Shangtian was so desperate that he fell ill at this juncture.
Under this crazy situation, what the imperial court said to the people of Tianchu Kingdom was even more irrefutable: "The imperial court has even stopped the triennial worship service on the fairy mountain. Why, you are more valuable than the immortals on the fairy mountain?"
Jing Dan, who finally recognized the reality, thought over and over again and learned the hard way, had his teeth knocked out and his blood swallowed, and he said forget it, we don't want any more military expenditures!
But Jing Dan is still young, so he still simplifies the thinking of these dark old bureaucrats. Even today, the Tianchu Kingdom doesn't want their "money" anymore, because as soon as the filial piety money they handed over is obtained.
, in an instant the entire bureaucracy sat on the ground and divided the spoils and digested them all. There was no way and no one could spit it out to him anymore!
Jing Dan is so angry. We don’t want the money given by the state. We don’t want the money from last year, this year, or next year. As long as you return our own money to me, everything will be settled. Isn’t this okay?
No! It really can’t! Not only is it impossible, but the money you brought this time must be handed over immediately! The whole family knows that you brought the money, and you can’t go anywhere without handing it over!
A dignified candidate for the title of king was unexpectedly detained by people from the Imperial City of God and placed under house arrest.
The clerk who was sent back to deliver the letter experienced the censure and insult personally in Shendu. When he returned to Tianchu Kingdom, he complained to Jingtai with blood and tears: "——This job is really impossible to do. It's too bullying.
It’s so frustrating for these literati to curse people without swearing!”
Seeing that Jing Dan was uncooperative, Yousi not only refused to refund the filial piety money, but also contacted other departments to ask for the third year's filial piety money in advance, and if he didn't give it, he would sue Tianchu Kingdom!
What the official article says is so high-sounding that it cannot be refused: "Our Emperor Shangtian is ill and urgently needs a lot of money to buy medicine. Everyone has to contribute money and efforts, and Tianchu Kingdom is no exception! Not giving it is treason!"
"
Before he could read the letters, Jingtai kicked over the table, grabbed the chair frantically, and smashed it into pieces!
Who would have thought, and who would have believed it, that a noble prince in Jingtai had already begun to sell off his jewelry and property, and even the manor was about to be taken away by loan sharks! But Jingtai, who had gritted his teeth, still sent a letter to Jingtai.
Dan paid the money and surrendered. He wanted to get the person back safely first. He would not leave the Imperial City of God even if he was killed.
But Jingtai thought that he had done his best to be benevolent and righteous to the point of tearing out his liver and lungs and swallowing his teeth. Who would have thought that these people in the court saw that he was easy to bully, and even treated him as a soft persimmon, a princeling?
Some officials even crossed the border to strangle their necks. Taking advantage of the emperor's serious illness, they targeted several water towns south of Jing's family, preparing to force Jingtai to "hand over state ownership" on his own initiative!
Although Tianchu Kingdom has a vast territory, its northern part is dominated by military towns and military camps. Therefore, the Jing family has always relied on several water towns in the south of Tianchu Kingdom to support daily expenses. If this thing is taken back from the bottom of the cauldron,
State ownership would completely cut off the Jing family's future.
Jingtai was forced to endure it no longer, so he secretly asked Song Zichuan, the leader of Longjiao City, to buy medicine for the emperor, and secretly went to Fengmang Pass to discuss with the commander Feng Tiexi to see if they could cooperate and allow them to stay in Longjiao City.
Side, implement a small unconventional action.
Jingtai's original plan was to send a group of wild cavalry in, pretend to burn, kill, and loot, in order to frighten the bureaucrats in the court, so that they would approve the military pay for the past few years, or at least the recent few
It’s okay to return the filial piety to him.
Jingtai knew very well that Feng Tiexi also knew his difficulties, but he underestimated Feng Tiexi's selflessness and was unreasonable.
From Feng Tiexi's point of view, no matter what you do, you can't play such a trick of luring the wolf into the house. Even if Jingtai asked Ge Zichuan to bring a royal gold medal for this matter, he wouldn't want to turn a blind eye.
Not only did Feng Tiexi directly reject the royal gold medal, but he also responded tit-for-tat with the iron scroll gold medal that Emperor Shang Tian had given to their Feng family.
"The iron scroll gold medal made it clear, 'The Feng family will always stay at Fengmang Pass and will not teach the barbarians to cross the Iron Mountain.' Marshal Ge Zichuan, who do you think I should listen to? From the Imperial City of the Divine Capital of the Celestial Dynasty, or from the Kingdom of Tianchu."
From Fancheng? I think everything should be done on a first-come, first-served basis—"
