Chapter 619

At noon, the duty room in the imperial city is a little muggy.

When the door was opened, several officials hurried in, bringing a gust of breeze, breaking the stagnation in the room and opening Huang Cheng's eyes, who seemed to be sleeping at his desk.

"My Lord, it's time for Cheng Guogong to play military merit." They said.

Huang Cheng smiled at the thick papers handed over.

"Cheng Guogong has a big appetite. He has written so many memorials. How much credit does it take?" He said.

"This is only part of it." An official said, with a disgruntled look, "there are still people there."

Huang Cheng smiled but didn't speak. He reached for the document and looked through it.

"The Castle Peak army has really become an army." He looked at the paperwork and said.

"With those magic weapons, Cheng Guogong will not let go." An official said, "instead of being a private soldier, it's better to incorporate it into the account, so that we can expand our strength with a higher sounding."

The expansion of Cheng Guogong's power is not what they want to see.

"My Lord, can you send this folding up?" Another official whispered.

Huang Cheng smiled and threw the documents in his hand on several cases.

"Send." He said, "I won't read these either. I'll show him what he wants and read it out in public at the great court meeting."

At the imperial meeting?

Huang Cheng thought of something again and leaned against the pillow and stretched his fingers on the table.

"It's not lively enough. You also follow, those who come to the king of diligence, those who come to support, and those who are on alert because of the entry of Jin people. Everyone has credit, wants and grabs."

Then he shook his sleeves and smiled coldly.

"Let's see how easy the war is to make money and how much the war function makes people's appetite."

The sitting people nodded when they understood.

"Yes, let's see how arrogant he is when he becomes a duke."

"Besides, what's the credit? It's clearly disobedience. It took so many officers and soldiers to save him. What is he proud of?"

"In this way, he will be rewarded. Naturally, he can also be rewarded on Zhejiang Road, Shandong, Shanxi. Let's see what the general's political leadership looks like."

"Your Majesty is kind. Although he hates him for bringing disaster to the country and the people, he is still very happy for his return alive. He doesn't hesitate to reward him wantonly. This is a gift from your majesty, not what he should get as a duke."

"Give it to him, give it to him, let the people see how kind his majesty is to his ministers, and let everyone see how arrogant and rude Cheng Guogong is."

Listening to the comments of his subordinates, Huang Cheng closed his eyes again, tapped his fingers on the desktop and smiled a little.

The happier you make today, the higher you climb, and the worse you fall in the future.

Cheng Guogong, this trip to Beijing requires you to come and die in the light of the wind and scenery.

Huang Cheng suddenly opened his eyes. There was no turbidity in his eyes. It was cold and overcast, which made several people shiver and silence.

"All move quickly. Don't let Zhu Shan refuse to come to Beijing again by virtue of his military achievements." He said in a deep voice.

Several officials were busy surong and answered.

As the first batch of angels went out of the capital carrying the emperor's edict to call Cheng Guogong back to Beijing, the news that Cheng Guogong would return to Beijing and receive a reward was also widely spread.

Duke Cheng hasn't returned to Beijing for nearly ten years. When the emperor died, he just worshipped in the north.

Coupled with the Northern War, the death and life of Duke Cheng has affected the people. Everyone is eager and excited to see this famous Duke.

The whole capital was bustling, and at the same time, all kinds of urgent letters came and went.

Fang Chengyu's face was full of letters and account books. It seemed that he didn't have time to clean up and didn't bother to clean up. He was allowed to pile them up at random, and some of them were scattered at his feet.

At this time, he still held the pen in one hand to write something, and received the letter just opened and handed by the shopkeeper in the other hand.

"... this is just from Dingzhou, and then there should be..." shopkeeper Gao said.

Before the words fell, I heard footsteps and someone came in.

There are only two people in Fang Chengyu's family who can go in and out of Fang Chengyu's study without notice.

Shopkeeper Gao didn't lift his head and immediately bent over to salute.

"Madam." He said.

The ring pendant rang softly and the skirt corners flew. Mrs. Fang walked straight past him and stood in front of Fang Chengyu's several cases.

"Mother..." Fang Chengyu looked up and smiled.

As soon as she opened her mouth, Mrs. Fang reached out and pulled away the letter in his hand. She looked cold and looked down at the letter without saying a word.

Fang Chengyu is not in a hurry.

"Mother, sit down and see." He said.

Shopkeeper Gao has brought a round stool here.

"Madam." He also asked.

Mrs. Fang stood still and ignored it. She just looked at the letter in her hand.

Fang Chengyu nodded to shopkeeper Gao. Shopkeeper Gao retreated and sat down again. The room fell into a moment of silence.

Until Shua, Mrs. Fang received the letter in her hand, slapped it on several cases and looked at Fang Chengyu.

Fang Chengyu looked at her and smiled.

"How many pearls have you become?" Mrs. Fang said, reaching out and stroking the hairpin on his head.

Fang Chengyu likes pearls. All the pearls used as accessories are the best pearls in the world.

"Mother." Fang Chengyu laughed, "where is the point of pawning?"

Mrs. Fang didn't smile at all. Oh, she made a noise.

"Haven't you arrived yet? I just saw that the house is half empty. You don't tell me. Your grandmother and I are still eating, drinking and wearing gold and silver. When the house is completely out of money and empty, you must tell us that we can also be gold and silver, unload silk and satin, change into rags and linen clothes, take bamboo sticks and porcelain bowls, and beg for food and survival." She said.

After listening to Mrs. Fang, shopkeeper Gao bowed his head more deeply. It is reasonable to say that he should just quit.

Fang Chengyu smiled.

"Mother, you've really seen a lot of plays. That's a good word." He said.

Mrs. Fang looked at him coldly.

"Don't laugh with me. I'm not you. When others smile, you can turn the country into the city." She said.

Fang Chengyu put away his smile and replied solemnly.

"As the daughter-in-law of the Fang family, can I ask where my money has gone?" Mrs. Fang said, reaching out and pointing to the letter on the table, "it seems that Miss Jun has finished her work and is coming back. Let me ask. Won't the delay affect her?"

Fang Chengyu nodded.

"Mother." "She did two businesses in the north and spent some money," he said

"Business?" Mrs. Fang asked coldly, "the business that used half of our family's wealth is certainly not small this time. I don't know how the income is?"

"There are benefits, there are benefits." The high shopkeeper on one side hurriedly looked up and said, grabbing one from the scattered account books on the ground, "just arrived."

Mrs. Fang glanced at him.

"Four hundred thousand taels." Shopkeeper Gao said.

Mrs. Fang made a noise.

"Four hundred thousand Liang! A lot of money!" She said.

This sounds surprised, but Mrs. Fang's expression is not surprised at all.

And four hundred thousand Liang is nothing to be surprised by Mrs. Fang.

Shopkeeper Gao smiled and lowered his head.

"Mother, take your time, business is always..." Fang Chengyu said.

Before he finished, Mrs. Fang interrupted him.

"Build armor, buy weapons, give aid to hundreds of thousands of fugitives, accumulate private soldiers, take charge of officials and troops, and go to the territory of Jin people to kill the enemy." She looked at Fang Chengyu, lowered her voice and said word by word, "Fang Chengyu, is her business going to top the sky?"

This is the top of the sky. It can be understood that the business is big and the top reaches the horizon. It can also be understood that this day refers to the son of heaven. Then this word

"... she is going to replace the Emperor..." Mrs. Fang continued.

Before they finished, shopkeeper Gao and Fang Chengyu jumped up.

"Shh, Shh, shh." They shouted with one voice and panic and surrounded Mrs. Fang. "You can't say that."
