Chapter 120 Feng Huang’s Gift(1/2)
Li Zhaowen walked briskly, walking alone through the lanes of Chen State, gently humming the poems and tunes that the young man had sung just now, and gradually moved forward. The moonlight and starlight were slowly occupied by the bright lights in front of him.
Li Zhaowen stopped and still stood in the shadows.
She stretched out her hand to straighten her clothes and collar, and the smile on her face subsided. She once again looked like a calm and unhurried young master from an aristocratic family. She unfolded her folding fan, with a landscape painting by a famous artist on the front and four ink characters on the back. She walked back to her home calmly.
's mansion.
"The second young master is back!"
Someone had already come up with him. Li Zhaowen threw the folding fan in his hand and washed his hands in the golden basin that was brought to him. Everyone retreated and went to see his father. Then he returned to his courtyard. The eldest grandson Wugou stood up for her.
He took off his outer gown, took a shower and changed his clothes again.
Looking through the files under the lamp, Changsun Wuchuan presented the things and Li Zhaowen looked through them.
Changsun Wugou asked: "What did Erlang drink? Is it still the same as before?"
On ordinary days, Li Zhaowen drinks tea. She has the habit of drinking night tea. She originally planned to order the famous Jiangnan tea, Yuqian Longjing, but now she suddenly paused, thinking that when she and the young man competed for a drink, the wine was extremely clear and delicious.
, now feeling a little greedy, he asked: "Do you have any wine from Changfeng Tower?"
The eldest grandson Wugou was surprised and had no choice but to look at his brother next to him.
Changsun Wuchuan said: "Of course there is it in the house, I will go and get it."
Li Zhaowen said with a smile: "There is no need to work without a wife."
Although the wine Changsun Wuqian fetched was the same as Changfenglou, the quality was completely different. It was like amber when poured into a cup. Li Zhaowen took a sip and frowned slightly. He felt that it was no good. It was not as good as drinking wine from Li Guanyi.
What I grabbed in my hand was delicious.
The wine enters the throat like a refreshing wind.
She didn't say it clearly, she just praised it: "It tastes good."
I put the wine aside and didn't drink it anymore. I just looked through the files. They were all the big and small things that happened in Chen Guo during this period. There were many big and small things, but in the final analysis, they were just about the upcoming Chen Guo Grand Ceremony.
things.
Changsun Wuchuan said softly: "There is news of the highest level."
Even the eldest grandson Wugou would avoid him.
There were only two people in the room.
Changsun Wuchuan said: "I heard that the emperor wants to have a competition between various countries before the big sacrifice."
Li Zhaowen said: "In today's world of strife, it has been more than three hundred years. Countries have attached great importance to swords and martial arts. Martial arts are rampant. There are endless martial arts masters in the court and in the rivers and lakes. Before such things as the big sacrifice, there are competitions and military exercises.
, it also tells the ancestors and future generations that they will never relax their weapons."
"It's a common thing. I don't care about it so much. Is there any difference?"
Changsun Wuchuan said softly: "There is news that Emperor Chen is going to give a big reward."
Li Zhaowen flipped through the files and said: "If it were just ordinary martial arts books and magical weapons, you wouldn't be like this without me, could it be..."
The eldest grandson Wuchuan said softly: "The title."
"The title of military merit is given to a person of the fifth rank, the title of [Male of Founding County County]."
Li Zhaowen's pupils shrank slightly: "Lord Wu, the founding level?"
In today's battles, there are countless people who have been knighted for their martial arts, but this does not mean that Lord Wu is easy to obtain. It only requires exerting all one's strength on the battlefield, not caring about one's own life, and having incredible luck.
Even if a county boy is only the lowest rank among the five noble titles in the world, he can still be called a lord. However, ordinary titles are not qualified to be passed down to future generations. Only "Founding Lord" is a title comparable to the founding of the country.
It can be passed down for three generations.
There is such a title, a military title!
That's different.
It's not about being an official or being rich. Such people have a different class, they are "honored nobles".
Li Zhaowen said thoughtfully: "Chen Huang intends to praise someone."
"I'm afraid that this person is extremely important, which makes the usually cautious emperor a little anxious. Or maybe something happened recently that forced Emperor Chen to speed up his actions."
"Yes, the world is undergoing great changes. If you want to support a person's rise, what can be easier than the national sacrifice of these ten years, on this grand festival where people from all over the world are watching?"
"He really became famous all over the world in one fell swoop."
Changsun Wuchuan also agreed: "Although in the end, it must be the Yechi Cavalry, the Tiger Barbarian Cavalry, and the Iron Buddha Tu, but no matter what legion they are, they can go and sign up, but the news has not spread yet, most of them
It should be widely publicized."
"You have the Xuanjia Army under your command, and you want to..."
Li Zhaowen flatly refused and said: "No need."
"The army's first appearance must be at the critical moment of the general trend of the world."
"The first time it appeared, it was a surprise weapon. The second time, I lost the initiative. It's just Chen Huang's treasure, but it's not worth letting me reveal this card."
"This army under my command is going to make its debut in this world."
"Rather than being involved in the machinations of such an old man. In that case, it would be too unworthy. However, even if he wants to support someone, I think he may not be able to do what he wishes."
"There are many military honors in various countries, and there are also talents in the Chen Kingdom."
Changsun Wuchuan reacted and said:
"Have you met Li Guanyi?"
Li Zhaowen smiled and praised: "He is a versatile man in both civil and military affairs."
Changsun Wuchuan hesitated for a moment and said: "Although Guanyi's magnanimity is extraordinary, it may be difficult to win this military meritorious title. The emperor has spent such a huge amount of money, and presumably he will give an internal order to let the others
Stop your efforts, the disciples of the Chen Kingdom will have to admit defeat if they face that man."
Li Zhaowen thought of the sentence "Princes, generals and prime ministers would rather have their own kind" and said:
"Li Guanyi is not someone who just takes orders from others."
"If you don't believe it, you can make a bet with me."
Changsun Wuchuan smiled and cupped his hands and said, "I don't dare."
"I also feel that the young brother Li Guan may not have changed his character due to a few orders from Jin Wuwei. With the temper of a young man, he will be even more unhappy and want to take action with all his strength."
Li Zhaowen smiled and said: "That's true."
"However, after I have read these files, Changfeng Tower can be transferred."
Changsun Wuchuan's eyes had a slightly strange color. They arranged people in Changfeng Tower to inquire about all kinds of information about Chen Guo, and then compiled the information. Changsun Wuchuan and Li Zhaowen looked for information of sufficient value.
However, the most important thing when using time is transfer.
If you want to live, you must not move. If you don't move, you will die.
If you stay stuck in one place all the time, you will definitely show your weaknesses.
This is the second time that Changfeng Tower has changed. The real internal intelligence system will be transferred to another place, and Changfeng Tower will become a purely safe industry. Then it will be washed away and thrown out. The children of the wealthy families will be like wolves.
Eat this meat as usual when eating meat, and Li Zhaowen will have left naturally by then.
That's how safe it is.
Naturally, a lot of gold and silver will also be lost.
Li Zhaowen’s voice was calm:
"Aristocratic families, and even many elders in the Chen family, are pursuing profit."
"What I see in my eyes is greater than theirs."
"Well, by the way, when the property is sold, the owner of this building stays."
Changsun Wucheng was surprised. The girl over there picked up the wine cup and started drinking. She tasted a hint of drunkenness as smooth as the wind. With a smile on her lips, she thought of Li Guanyi just leaning on the awning boat, picking lotus pods, drinking wine, and saying "five".
He looked reluctant to part with ten taels of silver.
Li Zhaowen drank and said, "When the time comes, just give this building to Li Guanyi."
"He likes to drink, so this is the first floor in Jiangzhou."
The girl threw the wine glass down carelessly and said with her hands behind her back:
"Send it to him."
……………………
Li Guanyi returned to Xue's house and after telling Mr. Xue these things, Mr. Xue just laughed and said to Li Guanyi, those servants and ministers are all from Tantai Xianming's line, you slap him in the face
,well played!
The old man already has some baggage and can't slap those guys in the face.
You boy, round your arms for me!
It's okay, if they dare to come over and cause trouble, old man, I'll go up and whip them.
Mr. Xue was eager to try.
