Li Jinglong was unmoved and looked at him, "Let me tell you one more thing. The emperor has decreed that Tang Fu be transferred back to the capital from his position as the commander of the Shaanxi Dusidu and the commander-in-chief of Xi'an, and serve as a casualty!"
"Ah!" Li Fangying was dumbfounded for a moment.
No matter how stupid he is, he is still a son of a noble family, so he naturally knows what the emperor's signal means.
The reason why the Tang family is so honorable, apart from the noble concubines in the palace, is because there are people outside who hold military power. Once the military power is withdrawn, the next step is to get their heads!
"Brother..." Li Fangying was so frightened that she could not speak.
Seeing that the heat was almost done, Li Jinglong sighed, "I really hate you so much in my heart. You have brought shame on our family. But..." As he said that, he patted his thigh and his eyes turned red, "But you
After all, he is my younger brother! My biological younger brother! I am the older brother... Hi!"
"Brother! Big brother!" Li Fangying was so happy that she fell from the sky and gained life again. She knelt forward and burst into tears, "Brother, I know you can't ignore me!"
"As for the Emperor, I don't dare to speak!" Li Jinglong sighed, "There is only the Emperor's side... But you are not on duty in front of the emperor, and you don't know the emperor's temper. I will beg the Emperor, and your life can be saved, but
I'm afraid the emperor will treat me badly in the future!"
"Everything I did wrong was my brother's fault. Big brother, my brother owes you!"
"Brothers, what do you think you owe?" Li Jinglong sighed, "However, although you are inevitably punished by death, you are unforgivable by living punishment. I have to ask the Supreme Emperor again whether you can continue to stay in the capital. Also, if you want to
Look at your performance!"
"What should I do if I want a younger brother?" As long as he can live, now Li Jinglong will give him a wife even if he wants her. He will also wash the fragrant clothes himself and bring her to the bedside.
"Get up, let's eat first!" Li Jinglong gently pulled up his younger brother, "I've been hungry all day and all night, and my body can't bear it anymore!" He said, "Hey, I haven't closed my eyelids in the past two days. When I think about it,
You...ah, your heart is cut like a knife!"
"Aww, big brother, it's all the younger brother's fault!" Li Fangying burst into tears.
"Let's go, let's go eat!"
Li Jinglong waved his hand and walked out with his younger brother.
But suddenly, a gust of wind blew past him, and he was suddenly frightened, and his heart kept trembling.
The next second, he turned around in shock, and the fear in his heart suddenly intensified.
He quickly ran to the memorial tablets of Li Wenzhong and Li Zhen, knelt on his knees and chanted.
"Father and grandfather, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. You two don't have to worry about it. That... that, this is also a lesson to the third child. I also have good intentions!"
~~
Next to the Nanguan Waterway Pier in the capital, in a private room on the second floor of the Taibai Building, which is very popular in the city, several men who looked like they were either rich or noble were chatting and laughing softly.
Sitting on the main seat, a man in his thirties who looked somewhat graceful and pampered at first glance was Tang Jing, the second young master of the third generation of the Tang family.
Leaning by the window and looking at the Yangtze River is Fu Zhong, the son of the late Ying Guogong and his consort.
The eyelids in the corner were drooping, like a student who had deserted in class, and the consort was watching.
In addition, there were several distinguished disciples and officials sitting with them.
“The water of the Yangtze River comes up from the sky and rushes to the sea never to return!”
"Then it's the fucking Yellow River!" Tang Jing said with a smile as he heard Fu Zhong leaning against the window and reciting a poem that looked like fish.
"What do you know? Poems are adapted to the situation. Regardless of whether it is the Yellow River or the Yangtze River, it is water from the sky, rolling down to the world!" Fu Zhong smiled and looked back, "The rain is still falling, and the water level on the river has risen another inch. The power of the sky is unstoppable.
Test it!”
"The power of Heaven may be unpredictable to others, but to you guys... Haha!" An official wearing the uniform of a fourth-grade civil servant said with a smile, "It's rain and dew!"
Rain and dew? Drown your whole family!
Hearing this, Hu Guan, the consort sitting nearby, had a look of disdain on his face.
"Have you heard that Marquis Cheng'en was reprimanded by the emperor?" A distinguished disciple stood up, poured tea for everyone, and said with a smile, "I heard that he took back his position as marquis, fined him two thousand taels of silver, and was banned for half a year."
"Hiss!" Everyone gasped.
"The Queen has no regard for her face?" someone exclaimed.
"Oh, this is just humiliating oneself. The work of a small family has a small family spirit!" Tang Jing smiled and picked up the tea cup and took a sip. "The poor suddenly become rich. He doesn't have that kind of virtue and can't keep his wealth."
a shame!"
Hu Guan's eyelids suddenly raised, "How do you say this?"
"Look!" Tang Jing said with a smile, "Do the really well-established noble families in the capital need to lower themselves to deal with those businessmen? How much money is that? I heard that their family still has
Invest in stocks seriously and get dividends every year, ha! You are short-sighted!"
As he said that, he put down the tea cup and said, "To put it bluntly, if you really fall in love with a big business that makes a lot of money every day, you don't have to play like this! Just let the people below find fault and say that he didn't pay taxes.
His goods were stuck in the canal, he was said to have eaten bad people, and he was said to be harboring criminals. Just find a charge, and he still had to obey? Even if something happened, they would not dare to bite the family out, even if they lost their heads, they would have to carry it.
!”
"It's better for the Zhao family. They are just pretending, they want money but they don't want to be talked about. They set up an archway like a scoundrel, but in the end they let those businessmen act as gunslingers! Look at it, there will be times when their family will show up in the future.
!”
"Haha!" Everyone laughed.
Fu Zhong said, "You think everyone is your Tang family, with countless disciples. How can the Zhao family have any followers? The abbot just thinks he has a great reputation. Who can he influence?"
"Either you are from a small family!" Someone continued to criticize, and then said, "But taking back the title this time is enough..."
"His title is not passed down to the family. What kind of title is it without the iron certificate of alchemy?" Tang Jing disdainfully said, "It's not like our fathers and ancestors. Those are genuine military merits!" He said with a smile, "Avoid death.
gold medal!"
"Who doesn't have that stuff? Just take it seriously!" Hu Guan cursed in his heart, "Besides, it's your grandfather who has the gold medal to avoid death, and it's not you!"
Immediately, he shook his head in his mind, "How come everyone is so confused? The Ming Dynasty belongs to Lao Zhu's family, not yours! Our father's generation was only in charge at best, and you seem to be short of everything now!
"
"Let's get down to business!" Tang Jing's face darkened, he looked like a leading brother, and looked at Fu Zhong, "Where are you...?"
"It's all ready!" Fu Zhong said with a smile, "The Huai'an garrison replied, our ship will be released without inspection!"
"Okay!" Tang Jing smiled, looked at Hu Guan again, and said with a bit of politeness, "Where are you...?"
"When the salt arrives, I can summon the imperial merchants!" Hu Guan said, "You can't call Gou here before you shit!"
"Ha, this dog is an appropriate metaphor!" Tang Jing laughed.
"The salt merchants in Lianghuai and Huaihe are in a hurry!" The official from the Ministry of Household Affairs said with a smile, "They are always running to the official's house these days."
"They are wild dogs, they smell the smell of blood, and they are more diligent than anyone else!" Tang Jing sneered, "Don't give them a good look, just slap them!" He said, looking around, "As long as these salt merchants follow us.
Once you do this, you won’t be able to tolerate them in the future.”
Suddenly, Hu Guan was shocked and looked at Tang Jing with a bit of solemnity.
"He's quite ambitious!"
The salt merchants of Huaihe and Huaihe, the merchants of Fujian and Zhejiang, these are all the richest people in the world, especially those wealthy families that have been inherited for hundreds of years. It is fair to say that they are as rich as the country.
As long as the handle of these people selling illegal salt is in Tang Jing's hands, Hu Guan can expect that Tang Jing, a descendant of a noble family, will have 10,000 ways to kill those salt merchants.
At that time, those imperial merchants became their lackeys!
If Tang Jing was really planning for his nephew, within ten years, his nephew would be surrounded by noble ministers and relatives, and there would be salt merchants and moneybags outside, and there would be people with money and power.
"What a profound calculation!" Hu Guan thought to himself, "No wonder he looks down on the prince's mother's family. The Zhao family is really not up to par with them!"
Immediately, he thought deeply and worriedly, "The third generation of the Chang family doesn't have anyone who plays a leading role. Lan Chun of the Lan family? That's just a piece of wood. Who will the prince be able to control in the future? Waiting for the old nobles like Huaixi
If they are all dead, Tang Jing can use money to tie these second and third generations together?"
Thinking about it, Hu Guan shivered violently.
"No wonder he's attracted to his selfish side. The risks are high, but the benefits are high, and the money comes quickly is the second. The main reason is that once these people participate, they will be tied to him and they won't be able to get away!"
At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the door, and Li Fangying opened the door and came in.
"Third brother, you're here!" Fu Zhong frowned, "I haven't heard from you for several days. I've been waiting for this!"
"Haha!" Li Fangying smiled and changed the subject, "I have agreed here, Jiaodong Wei, the river Yamen will be unimpeded!"
"You didn't tell your elder brother, did you?" Tang Jing asked in a low voice.
"I'm not stupid, saying no to him means..." Li Fangying pointed to her head.
Hu Guan, who was watching, was shocked again and looked at Li Fangying, "You...?"
He knew that Li Fangying was looking for Li Jinglong, but Li Fangying now said that she was not. There was only one possibility, that is, Tang Jing and the others had ordered not to look for Li Jinglong. But Li Fangying was afraid that she would not be able to do it, so she secretly told Tang Jing
Li Jinglong was approached on behalf of Mr.
"With this guy, it would be strange if you don't die!" Hu Guan snorted coldly in his heart, "Are Li Fangying and Li Jinglong from the same mother? Why is there such a big gap?"
"Okay, since everything is ready!" Tang Jing raised his glass and said with a smile, "Then let the salt ship set off immediately!"
Dong-dong-dong, footsteps suddenly came from outside, and then another person came in.
Hu Guan was shocked again, "How many people are involved?"
He knew the man who came here. Not only did he know him, he was also a relative. Because of his seniority, he wanted to call him brother-in-law.
This person was executed by the old man because of Hu Weiyong. He was Lu Xian, the son of Lu Zhongheng, the former empress of Ji'an, and the consort of Princess Runing.
His father died because of Hu Weiyong, but he was the old man's brother-in-law after all, and the princess had just married him at the time and didn't even have any children. If he was killed, the princess would become a living widow and a helpless person, so he
I was lucky enough to survive.
"You just came?" Tang Jing said, "Sit down quickly!"
"Have you heard?" Lu Xian looked around, "That scholar Xin Yande killed the prefect of Huai'an!"
