Well, the flavor of the Republic of China is too strong. In fact, they just think this game is relatively novel, and they are tired of the traditional pot throwing, powder shooting and so on.
Shao Shude had a conversation with Zhuge who was carrying his child.
When she was working under Marshal Zhuge, she and her father Zhuge Zhongbao became brothers, but now the little girl has given birth to her own child.
Not two months after giving birth to the child, as soon as he returned home, he acted as if he had never seen a woman before. Holding the little girl he had watched grow up and doting on him, the handsome man's lust became darker again.
Zhe Fangmei did not participate in the mahjong game, and was a little worried when she saw her husband coming out of Zhuge's room.
It's not that she is jealous, in fact no one can shake her position, the main reason is to consider her husband's reputation.
But what can I say? If you give your husband a beautiful woman, he may just play with it casually and not take her seriously. Zhuge Zhongbao’s daughter is just above average in terms of appearance, but her husband just plays with her.
Can't put it down.
This can no longer be explained simply from a lustful perspective.
This is a perversion! The desire to conquer is at work!
"Husband, are you going to the Yamen?" Zhe Fangmei asked the maid to bring her robes, and then sent someone to inform the soldiers to prepare for the trip.
"Without my wife, I wouldn't have been able to find the robe." Shao Shude smiled and said, "The Prime Minister's envoy came over and has been hanging it for several days. I'm going to see you today."
"Please go, husband, this is such a big deal." Zhe Fangmei asked the maid to step aside and helped arrange her robes with her own hands.
Shao Shude nodded and strode out of the backyard.
Zhe Fangmei sat in the yard for a while.
Wang Chong, the elder brother of the Cangcai Wang family, has become one of the ten generals of the Flying Bear Army, in charge of ten thousand people with silver spears, and has great powers and responsibilities.
General Wang's wife was the niece of Huang Tuiguan of the military government, and she knew how to be polite. Two days later, he invited her to the Shifo Temple to celebrate the occasion. It would be good to walk around more.
The wife of Yang Hongwang, the commander of the Flying Bear Army, is a sister of our Zhe clan, so we can also call her.
When a husband is fighting abroad, he can certainly use his official position and wealth to win over people's hearts, but this is not enough.
Privately, one must also be bound by kindness and kinship, so that the general will not be separated from him and will be willing to die in service.
There is no conflict between a husband's behavior as a husband and a woman's behavior as a woman's behavior.
After Shao Shude entered the Yamen Hall, the shogunate officials saluted one after another.
After waving his hand for them to settle down in their respective places, Shao Shude went to the hidden side hall in the backyard and asked someone to bring the Prime Minister's envoy over.
"Greetings to Prince Lingwu."
Shao Shude did not speak, but looked at the messenger carefully. This is the privilege of the superior.
"What brought the envoy here?" Shao Shude asked.
"I came here to marry the Prince of Lingwu."
"In a large town of Chijie, there are millions of people to protect you, dozens of generals under your command, and hundreds of thousands of tigers and tigers. What's not to get?" Shao Shude laughed and said, "It's not that easy to marry me well."
"The King of Lingwu County is joking. Since Zhang Xiang is the commander of Nanya, there will naturally be something to satisfy the King."
"What?"
"Maybe he can be promoted to King of Xia."
"If this is the thing, the envoy can return."
The envoy's expression changed when he heard this. He had always heard that Shao Shude did not seek fame, but only practical benefits. It seemed that a prince could not be dismissed.
"The King of Lingwu County also knows that the saint's dragon body is not in good shape, and something unspeakable may happen. However, the country cannot be left without a master. I wonder which noble person from Tianhuang does the king like?"
Shao Shude was a little surprised. Zhang Jun didn't even want to cover up, and went straight to the point. This court must be over, must be over!
"Supporting a new king is a matter for the Nanya and the North Division. All the kings are virtuous, so what should I worry about?"
What Shao Shude said is half true and half false.
When he and Li Keyong were at this point, it really didn't matter who became the emperor. Historically, Li Keyong didn't care and let the eunuchs mess around. He knew more than his sworn brother, but he was too lazy to care too much.
All he needs now is an emperor who is good at twisting and turning and can destroy the imperial family's fortunes faster. Looking at the current trend, there is no use for imperial officials, and King Ji will probably not be able to get there, which is exactly what he wants.
But there is no need to show this.
"Who does Prime Minister Zhang belong to?" Shao Shude asked.
"What does King Lingwu want?" the messenger asked.
Damn it, are all the court officials so unclear about the situation? Is it interesting to try to fool me?
"I only want to go on an expedition to Anxi and regain the lost territory. There is nothing left to gain."
The messenger choked.
"Does the Prince of Lingwu County know that the Zhongguan of the Northern Division wants to appoint King Shou as the crown prince?" the envoy asked again.
Something to be expected.
Shao Shude patted the armrest of the chair and said, "If the envoy has something to do, you might as well tell him directly. What does Prime Minister Zhang want?"
"Master and King Shou are on good terms..." Seeing that Shao Shude did not miss a word, the envoy had no choice but to reply: "If King Lingwu can help in this matter, the new king and Prime Minister Zhang will repay the favor."
Shao Shude thought carefully.
Although he is happy to see King Shou ascend the throne, and judging from the current situation, King Shou is indeed very likely to be the new king, this does not prevent him from taking advantage of the opportunity.
Zhang Jun must have bet on King Shou, and was afraid that he would cause trouble for him, so he came over in advance to say hello.
But what capital does he have to say hello now? Can he issue me an acceptance bill after King Shou ascends the throne?
Seeing that Shao Shude didn't speak, the envoy also felt a little worried.
Supporting the new king was originally a matter for the Nanya and Bei Division, and there was no need to worry about the opinions of the generals from outside the vassal. But the king of Lingwu County has knocked on the door twice. If he cannot be satisfied, God knows what will happen.
Except for Cheng Zongchu, Li Xiang, Wang Bian, and Hao Zhenwei, almost all of Guanzhong belonged to him.
"What can Prime Minister Zhang repay?" Shao Shude sneered: "Could it be Qiancai Meiji."
"Prince Lingwu, please stop joking." The envoy laughed dryly and said, "Are the three states of Jingyuan enough?"
"I'm afraid Prime Minister Zhang still can't control the warriors in Jingyuan Town."
Shao Shude sat up straight. Finally, it was time to show off. He said before that he only wanted to be the general who conquered the West, but both of them knew it was nonsense.
Zhang Jun offered the price for Jingyuan Town, which is actually a bit nonsense. After Cheng Zongchu's death, the warriors in Jingyuan Town must have been thinking about internal selection, and it is not certain whether they will listen to the court in the future.
It's a bit too much to sell something that doesn't belong to you, and you treat others as fools.
"Not enough." Shao Shude stopped being pretentious and said straightforwardly.
The messenger secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he is willing to negotiate, the rest is just a matter of price.
"Beyond Jingyuan Town, the prince of Lingwu County of Jin Dynasty can also be the king of Xia."
Shao Shude didn't answer, but talked about another thing.
"In the first year of Baoying, the imperial court appointed Li Huairang as the military envoy of Tongguan Town, the military envoy of Tonghua and other states, and the governor of Huazhou."
"In the fourth year of Jianzhong's reign, Luo Yuanguang was appointed as the Military Envoy of the Zhenguo Army. He was named Li Yuanliang and given the title of Military Envoy of Longyou."
"In the second year of Zhonghe, Zhu Quanzhong was appointed as the military governor of Tonghua."
"In the fourth year of Zhonghe, Wang Chongjian was appointed as the defense envoy of Huazhou."
The messenger's face turned pale after hearing this. The thing he was most worried about happened!
Shao Shude wants Tonghua more than Jingyuan!
The two prefectures and eight counties, with a population of hundreds of thousands, abundant resources, and a gathering of elites, are by no means comparable to Jingyuan.
It's understandable that Shao Shude wants to eat it. But understanding is understanding, and I really can't give this to him.
"Can't the envoy give it to me?" Shao Shude asked in a nonchalant manner.
The envoy said with a bitter face: "The King of Lingwu County has a huge appetite, so he really can't give it to him. How about re-establishing the Weibei Jiedu envoy from the Yongtai period to lead the five states of Fu, Fang, Dan, Yan and Sui?"
Shao Shude couldn't help laughing.
The four prefectures of Yifang are already on my plate, and they are already being tidied up. Suizhou is even a prefecture of Shuofang Town. Are you kidding?
"Tongzhou is north of the Wei River, so why is it not a state under Weibei Town? Huazhou also has counties in Weibei, so why can't it be included in Weibei Town?" Shao Shude said.
"Don't Prince Lingwu worry about material disputes? It should be noted that the Tang Dynasty is still under the rule of the Tang Dynasty."
Shao Shude smiled.
He still had a good impression of this envoy, because he reminded himself: We can build a Weibei town that has appeared in history, including the four prefectures of Yifang and the two prefectures of Tonghua.
"I have only two requests. First, establish the town of Weibei and govern the six prefectures of Fu, Fang, Dan, Yan, Tong, and Hua. I will personally serve as the military envoy; second, I recommend one person to be the military envoy of Jingyuan." Shao Shude said: "If you can respond to my matter, Prime Minister Zhang will be worry-free."
If not, Shao Shude did not say what would happen, leaving Zhang Jun to think about it himself.
These courtiers thought they were nothing. If I hadn't been concerned about face and food, I would have done it myself.
Historically, Li Maozhen probably did not let go of these places. Huazhou was built by Han, but Tongzhou must be in his hands.
The messenger's mouth felt bitter.
Although he asked for a high price and had to pay back the money on the ground, Shao Shude's ambition was probably not that big. He probably only wanted to win the two states of Tonghua and Hua. But it was precisely these two states that it was difficult to give and he didn't dare to give.
"The envoy is worried about Wang Bian and Hao Zhenwei? Don't worry, Tong, I will take over the two states of Hua by myself. I don't need the court to worry about it. If the Bei Division has any objections, I will help persuade them." Shao Shude said again.
The envoy smiled bitterly, cupped his hands, and said, "This matter is serious, and we must discuss it carefully with Prime Minister Zhang."
The plans made in advance had to be completely abandoned. Shao Shude only agreed to agree to King Shou's ascension to the throne, but directly asked for so much territory, which was tantamount to no contribution, and he wanted to get so many benefits. Prime Minister Zhang would definitely not agree.
Furthermore, after King Shou became the new king, what would he think when he saw that the court's territory was getting smaller and smaller and the power of Shuofang Town was getting bigger?
Prime Minister Zhang had to think about these things carefully and weigh the pros and cons carefully.
