He Li and Gao Liu arrived in Bianjing on the 19th, accompanied by Meng Su and Guan Xiao. On the same day, Su Hexiang and ram fangnianyuan also took their men to Bianjing.
For a moment, the Dingguo mansion was bustling.
In addition to gold and silver jewelry, Styrax and Lam brought back a lot of things this time, many of which were luxury goods. Half of them were brought into the warehouse in Jiangnan, and the other half were brought to Bianjing.
Suhexiang traveled to North America this time, bringing back a lot of fur and local specialties. Ram went to the Cape of good hope this time, found the gold and diamond minerals that Ling Qingyu said there, sent some people there, and also brought back a lot of jewelry with local characteristics. When it was placed in the main hall, the room was immediately full of jewels.
Knowing that Yang Zhao was killed in the battle in Lingjia village, Ling Qingyu was pressed into Bianjing as a hostage. The two immediately encouraged Fang nianyuan to take people to rob people back. There was really no way. Fang nianyuan told the two about Ling Qingyu's intention. After one had a black face and the other had a white face, RAM took 200 elite people from his family to Bianjing. Su Hexiang immediately said he would follow. Fang nianyuan was afraid that they would cause trouble, so he had to escort them, When he arrived in Hangzhou, he was persuaded by Cai Jingfang and Zheng Xi. Only then did ram take 50 people in the name of Zhu Luoguo's emissary to follow Fang nianyuan and them along the canal to escort goods and silver to Bianjing.
"Are you going to rob me with 200 people?" Ling Qingyu is both moved and funny. Lamu's people are really good players, but a hero can't defeat 10000 people.
When ram slapped the table angrily, how many people's faces didn't look good. Your two hundred people are useless. Use two hundred people to doubt the combat effectiveness of our 200000 people? This is really what can be tolerated and what can't be tolerated!
Looking at the sound of fighting and killing on the martial arts field opened up by the pro guards, with mink gloves, Ling Qingyu sighed, "young people, you just can't use up your strength." Then he shouted, "don't fight indiscriminately, come to a knockout plug. I will win a big prize if I win!"
Bai Wei, who was about to fight, stopped and obediently returned to Ling Qingyu. Looking at the fanren and generals who had already fought in a regiment, she sighed in her heart.
"Ram, let's fight alone!"
"Meng Su, you stinky boy, I have already seen you unhappy!"
"Sixteen nights, why do you join in the fun? Children stay at the same time!"
"Those in charge say there are rewards!"
"Shit! You have great martial arts. Go away, dark Wei. There's nothing wrong with you here!"
"There are rewards! If you win, there are rewards!"
When Cheng Jia came back, he saw a mess on the playground and a group of men with bruises.
"You're not looking for trouble with me! I came here to celebrate the new year, not to get tired!" Alan complained while taking cotton wool to give medicine to the wounded.
"It's rare to be so lively. Isn't the Spring Festival just about to be lively?" Ling Qingyu also took cotton wool to medicate the wounded, while talking to Alan.
Cheng Jiaxiu looked around with his hands and asked, "who won?"
There were many people coming, and all the courtyards in the front yard were cleaned out to ram Heli's men, and ram and his men squeezed into the backyard without hesitation.
After eating, in the newly built study, RAM pointed to Cheng Jia, who sat next to Ling Qingyu on the opposite soft couch of the old God, and said, "why is this man here?"
These words asked everyone's wishes. Ling Qingyu just coughed, and Cheng Jia said leisurely, "I'm her man and concurrently a military master. Who's here if I'm not here?"
"Yan Qi?!" Several people stared at Yan Qi at the same time, and their eyes were full of surprise, anger and doubt.
Yan Qi snorted and said, "listen to his nonsense." Then he covered his mouth and coughed twice. Under the care of Ling Qingyu, he got on the soft couch, leaned on the soft couch, and lay behind Ling Qingyu.
"Cough, this Mr. Cheng is also one of us now," Ling Qingyu coughed twice, stared at Cheng Jia, and then said, "OK, let's get down to business."
As soon as Cheng Jia opened his mouth, several people knew that this military master was indeed right. From Zhu Weili to Meng Su to heishuiguan to Han Liang to Jiangnan to fanwai, he analyzed and explained one by one, and then talked about the possible future of the imperial court, the response of the Ling family, its rigorous and meticulous thinking, comprehensive and long-term consideration, which were far from any of them.
"Lam Fong nianyuan, when you return next year, you should start mobilizing warships in Qiongzhou. Once civil strife breaks out in the Central Plains, you should be ready to take over. If necessary, you should be ready to attack Guangzhou or Hangzhou." Cheng Jia's slender white fingers scratched on the map, and then smiled at Su Hexiang: "your ship still needs to run. The war is going on together, and the money needed is not small."
There was silence in the room. After a long time, Gao Liu asked, "when will it happen?" According to Cheng Jia, when Bianjing is in chaos, Ling Qingyu has two ways to go: one is to go north to heishuiguan, but there are troops from hulaoguan and Luoyang on the way, and the other is to go south and go south to sea. If he goes north, he must send troops to meet him.
Cheng Jia lowered her eyes, tapped her finger on the palm and said, "it won't be long. They can't wait. There must be omens in the beginning of spring next year."
By next spring, it won't be too long. Ram said, "I won't go, I'll go with you."
"You are a fan. This time you come in the name of tribute from Zhu Luo. If you don't leave, you will only bring trouble to the head of the family." Fang Nian goes a long way.
"I can say I admire the scenery of Dazhou and visit here." Ram snorted and said.
Cheng Jia smiled a few times and said, "it's OK to talk about sightseeing, but if you want to escape in the city chaos, your appearance is too eye-catching, but it's attractive to catch."
"That's not right. They all rushed to us. The head of the family can just take another way." When ram finished, they were stunned, and then looked at Yan Qi.
"Well, that's a good idea." Yan Qi nodded, then looked at Ling Qingyu with a black face and said with a smile, "but the head of the family won't let you die. Maybe he will run to save you at that time, then you'll find something for me."
"Ram, have your people been settled?" Lingqingyu finally put in a word.
"Well, half of them were sent to South Africa and half to Australia, so," RAM said with a smile, staring at Ling Qingyu with blue eyes, "I'm also free now."
"But my red sea business line?" Ling Qingyu frowned and just said this sentence. Ram had already said, "both Sanjay and Huanglian can run."
"We can't estimate the situation at that time, but if we go south, there are three ways to go. It's best for you to arrange ships in these three ports. In Guangzhou, Lamu, only your ship is close." With a stroke of Cheng Jia's finger on the map, RAM stopped his voice. Yes, no one knows what the chaos will be like at that time, so he can only come from the situation. The three routes may still be the best one in Guangzhou.
Seeing that ram stopped, Cheng Jia turned his head and said to He Li, who had been silent all the time, "on the 22nd, there will be a poetry meeting over there in Jianjia courtyard. The fourth prince wants to see you and Gao Liu. It is estimated that each other will give you a promotion and get married."
"Marriage?" Gao Liu said in surprise.
Cheng Jia's mouth turned up and said with a smile, "Congratulations, General Gao. That Fu Xiyan is the first talented woman in Bianjing. She is fifteen years old and was born beautiful."
"Fu Xiyan? Not the one who wrote a lot of crooked poems and scolded the boss, and then was soaked in the water for half an hour by the seventh master, and then was seen as disheveled, and now he is still lying in bed pretending to be dead?" Shadow thirteen inserted a sentence beside it.
Gao Liu's face suddenly turned black.

After looking at Cheng Jia's smile, he Li said, "it's just next spring, now it's time to deny it."
Cheng Jia received a smile and said, "the princess Huaying from concubine Li is assigned to you. If you agree, the emperor will announce after the new year. Even if something happens, you will be criticized by others, and even the motives of the Ling family will be questioned."
"Princess?" He Li hissed and said, "you really look up to me."
"I really think highly of you!" Cheng Jia stared at he Lidao. Even if Yang Zhao, Zhao Yinfeng, a military general who was born in the general's family, Emperor Xiwen didn't move the princess's mind to marry. Of course, it doesn't count that childe Huayang found it by himself. He Li is an orphan, but he followed Yang Zhao's close guard since childhood, and his birth was extremely low. Then he climbed up step by step by virtue of his military achievements, and he had this position by taking advantage of Yang Zhao's death. According to the truth, Emperor Xiwen didn't look down on him. It was really suspicious to make this decision. I can't help but say that he was afraid of his father or Deng family.
"I see. He Mou's low voice is really not worthy of the princess. If I want to work, I can't do this alone." He Li smiled.
"Gao also came from a humble background," Gao Liu was about to say it again, and Cheng Jia interrupted him, "even if you forget it, Fu Xiyan is not a good seed, and he won't publicly announce it. He just responded orally. After a while, he wrote a letter to the fourth prince, saying that you already know that this woman is unclean and angry, and that's over."
Gao Liu's face turned black again. Why did I just recite it like this?
"Speaking of this, by the way, you see, the servant girls in my yard are all good. Otherwise, you know more, hey! Don't go! I haven't finished speaking, I said you are old and big! Come back!"
On the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, it snowed heavily in Bianjing. There were small plum trees, white snow and red plum trees over the Jianjia courtyard, plus a group of scholars who were just in their prime of life. They boiled wine under the plum trees, sang in the snow, sang poems and wrote Fu, which was romantic.
The study in Yanyan courtyard is another atmosphere.
The fourth prince was not old, and the 16-year-old boy held a mature face and looked at the two young generals kneeling in front of him. For a long time, he didn't speak until Cheng Jia couldn't help coughing. Fang recovered from the cold and evil oppression of the other side, and hurriedly helped them up.
The fourth Prince is very similar to Emperor Xiwen. He Li likes luxury and beautiful things. Gao Da Junlang and Gao Liu are thin and handsome. Although they are not as beautiful as Yang Zhao and Zhao Yinfeng, they are also rare beautiful men. At the first sight, the fourth prince took a liking in his heart, and even his tone was gentle.
After the fourth Prince talked about everything, Mei Donghua couldn't help coughing up, Then he said directly: "the two generals should understand that among the several princes, the fourth Prince's Royal Highness is very famous for being polite and virtuous, and the emperor also attaches great importance to it. But the eldest prince and the second prince are both ambitious, for fear that they will have an evil heart and cause harm to the country at that time. At that time, I hope the two generals can listen to the holy will."
At the same time, he Li and Gao Liu arched their hands and said, "a certain general will naturally obey the emperor's order." Obey the order of the emperor, who is the emperor to listen to.
Mei Donghua was stunned and looked at Cheng Jia. Cheng Jia laughed secretly and said, "well, we hope the two generals can support his Highness the fourth prince. If the eldest prince and the second prince are suspected of usurping the throne, they can come to the king."
"Yes, yes, yes, my father and emperor have made it clear that they will pass on to me. I'm just afraid that the royal brothers won't accept it. I hope the two generals can help the palace." The fourth Prince nodded.
He Li glanced at Gao Liu, and he Li hesitated and said, "well, we also need to see the emperor's decision?"
Mei Donghua's face suddenly sank, and he said, "what does general he mean?"
He Li smiled indifferently and said, "someone really doesn't know what Lord Mei means?"
"General he doesn't want to help his Highness the fourth prince?" Mei Donghua angrily said.
He Li glanced at Cheng Jia and thought that he was really helping sour Confucianism. Is this the attitude of turning to others? He took a chair and sat down with a smile on his face, saying, "Lord Mei, the fourth prince, we don't talk in secret. Our troops in heishuiguan are all the troops of the imperial court. The Ministry of war and the emperor ordered that we must follow, but we have never heard what the Prince and the censor said. We should listen."
Gao Liu also took a chair and sat down by himself. Damn it, you don't have low back pain when you sit and talk. We give you face, but we really don't let people sit. He said, "we came only after listening to the wife say that the fourth Prince has something important to say. If there's nothing wrong, we have to catch lunch. If we're late, the wife won't leave dinner."
These two people! Mei Donghua's nose was red, pointing to the two people and unable to speak.
Cheng Jia coughed twice and said, "don't be impatient, your highness, just say it directly."
"If the general is willing to help me," the fourth prince also recalled at this time, thinking that Mei Donghua's words are not easy to use, he would still follow his mother's words and said with a smile, "I will ask my father to appoint general he as the general of Zhenguo, from the commander of Hedong road to the commander of Hedong road Shaanxi Road, and General Gao as the general of Mingwei. What do you think?"
"So," He Li got up and knelt down on one knee again. "He Li is willing to serve the fourth prince!"
Seeing this, Gao Liu also got up and knelt on one knee beside he Li and said, "so is Gao Liu!"
The fourth prince was overjoyed and hurriedly got up to help the two of them. Unconsciously, he thought that it seemed that these Qingliu didn't understand everything. No wonder the mother Princess had repeatedly told him that she couldn't listen to Mei Xiaoyu's words. The righteousness of monarchs and ministers could hold these people down, and it was time for the eldest prince to ascend.
"Two generals, there is another happy event in the palace. The younger sister of the palace, Princess Huaying, is 15 years old. The father and the emperor intend to marry general he. The granddaughter of Fu Taifu is also 15 years old, and her beautiful appearance matches General Gao." The fourth Prince looked at He Li and said with a smile that he had a good relationship with Princess Hua Ying. He had heard that he was going to marry Princess Hua Ying to a young and old general. Although he knew it was for his own sake, he was also very unwilling in his heart, but now he Li is handsome at the sight of him. His momentum and style are not ordinary people, and such a man is not bad with Hua Ying.
"Your Highness, He Mou was kind, but, hey," He Li sighed and said with a sad color on his face, "if he didn't say it, he would also be guilty of bullying the king in the future. To be honest, his highness, He Mou was injured in his waist during the war with the Liao state the year before last. Since then, he had a hidden disease, and he was afraid of delaying the princess."
Poof, Cheng Jia couldn't help spitting out. He looked at the stunned fourth Prince and Mei Donghua, and quickly wiped his mouth with a handkerchief. Hidden disease? Hidden disease, you head! If you have a hidden disease, have you fought with Yan Qi all night and robbed the woman's bed? Finally, Meng Su took advantage of it.
A man can't joke about this kind of thing. It's about a man's face and self-esteem!
The fourth Prince looked at He Li with compassionate and frightened eyes and murmured, "well, that's really inappropriate. This, let's talk to the mother imperial concubine, and take it as nothing like this."
Gao Liu's eyes twitched, thinking that brother Li, can you change some other excuse? This is what happened in Dai County, and now it happens again? What should I use!
Seeing the sight of the fourth Prince sweeping over, Gao Liu hurriedly piled up a smile and said, "it's Gao Liu's blessing to marry the granddaughter of the Taifu, but the general's one-year filial piety period has not passed. Can we talk about this after the general's filial piety period?"
"General Gao is righteous!" The fourth Prince nodded repeatedly and said that if he could speak of loyalty in this way, such people would generally not repent at will, so their loyalty could be trusted. With Hedong road iron cavalry, he was afraid of the 12th battalion of the forbidden guards!
"Your Highness, it's not good for us to leave for too long." Cheng Jiashi said.
The fourth Prince nodded and stood up. As he walked out, he said to He Li Gao Liu, "don't worry, you two, you can be promoted this time. In the future, the palace will need two more help."
He Li and Gao Liu saluted at the same time: "Your Highness's order, don't dare to follow."
Out of the yard, Mei Donghua sneered and said, "greedy little man."
Cheng Jia chuckled twice, and then whispered in his ear, "brother Donghua, in this world, there are people who can't get up early without profit. Don't you have your own selfishness when you and I help your highness?"
Mei Donghua was stunned. He took a deep look at Cheng Jia and said, "you and I are for this country and this country."
Cheng Jia shook her head slightly, but said no more. In her heart, she was really disappointed with her friends over the years, and the vague idea in her heart began to appear. In this world, scholars like Mei Donghua are the mainstream, and monarchs and ministers attach more importance to everything, and these people are the guidance of public opinion. If she is killed by these people, Ling Qingyu's future road will be difficult to walk, not to mention that she is still a woman.
It's not impossible, but the price to pay, Cheng Jia, are you willing?
