Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 348 What Can He Give?
Shao Dashuai's aunts and wives are playing mahjong.

Well, the taste of the Republic of China is too strong.In fact, they just think this game is relatively novel, and they are tired of playing traditional pot throwing and powder shooting.

Shao Shude had a conversation with Zhuge Shi who was with the child.

Back then when he was working under Commander Zhuge, he and her father, Zhuge Zhongbao, called him brother and brother, but now the little girl gave birth to her own child.

Not two months after giving birth, as soon as he returned home, he acted as if he had never seen a woman before, hugging this little girl whom he had watched grow up to be doted on, the handsome man turned black again in his sexuality.

Zhe Fangai did not participate in the mahjong game, seeing her husband come out of Zhuge's room, she was a little worried.

She is not jealous, in fact no one can shake her position, the main consideration is her husband's reputation.

But what to say.If you send a beautiful woman to your husband, he may just play around casually and won't care.Zhuge Zhongbao's daughter is only average in terms of appearance, but the husband just loves to play with it.

This can no longer be explained purely from the perspective of lust.

This is perverted!The desire to conquer is at work!
"Husband is going to the Yamen?" Zhe Fangai asked the maid to bring the robes, and sent someone to inform the soldiers to prepare for the trip.

"If there is no madam, I can't even find the robes." Shao Shude said with a smile: "A messenger from the prime minister came over, and it has been hanging out for several days. I will go see you today."

"Husband just go, it's a big deal." Zhe Fangai asked the maid to step aside and helped arrange the robes with her own hands.

Shao Shude nodded and strode out of the backyard.

Zhe Fangai sat in the yard for a while.

Zangcai Wang's elder brother, Wang Chong, has become one of the top ten generals of the Feixiong Army.

The wife of General Wang is the niece of Huang Tuiguan in the military mansion.After two days, I invited her to the Stone Buddha Temple to rejoice, and it is always right to walk around more.

The wife of Feixiong Army envoy Yang Hongwang is the younger sister of his clan, so they can also be called together.

When a husband is fighting abroad, of course he can use his official position and wealth to win people's hearts, but this is not enough.

In private, it is necessary to combine kindness and kinship, so that the general will not be renounced, and only then is he willing to die.

There is no conflict between a husband's way of his husband's and a woman's family's way of a woman's family.

After Shao Shude entered the government office, the shogunate officials saluted one after another.

After waving for them to settle down, Shao Shude came to the hidden side hall in the backyard and asked someone to bring the prime minister's envoy over.

"Meet the King of Lingwu County."

Shao Shude didn't speak, but looked at the envoy carefully, which was the prerogative of the superior.

"What's the matter with the envoy?" Shao Shude asked.

"I came here to make friends with the King of Lingwu County."

"In a big festival-holding town, there are millions of guardians, dozens of generals, and hundreds of thousands of tigers. What can't you get?" Shao Shude said with a smile: "It's not so easy to get married to me."

"The king of Lingwu County is just joking. Zhang Xiang is the head of the Nan Yamen. Naturally, he has something to satisfy the king."

"What?"

"Maybe he can be promoted to King Xia."

"If this is the case, the envoy can return."

The envoy's face changed when he heard the words, he had heard that Shao Shude didn't care about fame, but only paid attention to actual profit, it seems that a prince can't be dismissed.

"The king of Lingwu County also knows that the saint's dragon body is not good, and there is fear that something unbearable will happen. However, the country cannot be without a master. I don't know which nobleman the king may like?"

Shao Shude was a little surprised.Zhang Jun didn't even want to cover it up anymore, and went straight to the point.This imperial court is going to end, it is going to end!
"Supporting a new monarch is a matter for the Nanya Beisi. All the kings are virtuous, why should I worry?"

Shao Shude's words were half true and half false.

At the point where he and Li Keyong are like this, it really doesn't matter who becomes the emperor.In history, Li Keyong didn't care about it and let the eunuchs torment him. He knew a little more than his righteous brother, but he didn't bother to care too much.

Now he only needs an emperor who can make troubles and ruin the imperial family faster.Judging from the current trend, whether the court officials are useful or not, King Ji probably won't be able to go up, which is exactly what he wants.

It's just that, there is no need to show it.

"Who does Prime Minister Zhang like?" Shao Shude asked.

"What does King Lingwu want?" the envoy asked back.

Damn, are court officials so blind to the situation?Interested in playing dumb with me?

"I only wish to go on an expedition to Anxi to recover the lost land, and I have nothing else to gain."

The messenger choked.

"Does the king of Lingwu know that the Beisi Zhongguan wants to make Shouwang the emperor's younger brother?" the envoy asked again.

Unexpected things.

Shao Shude patted the armrest of the high chair, and said, "The envoy may wish to speak directly if he has something to do. What does Prime Minister Zhang want to do?"

"Master and King Shou have a good relationship..." Seeing that Shao Shude did not miss a word, the emissary had no choice but to reply: "If King Lingwu can lend a helping hand in this matter, Xinjun and Xiang Zhang will repay."

Shao Shude thought carefully.

Although he is happy to see King Shou enthroned, and judging from the current situation, King Shou is indeed very likely to be the new king, but this does not prevent him from taking advantage of the opportunity.

Zhang Jun should bet his bet on Shou Wang, and he was afraid that he would disturb him, so he came to say hello in advance.

But what does he have to say hello to now?Write me a bill of acceptance after King Shou ascended the throne?
Seeing that Shao Shude didn't speak, the emissary was also a little apprehensive.

Supporting the new monarch was originally a matter for the Southern Yamen and Beisi, and there was no need to care about the opinions of the generals of the foreign domain.But the king of Lingwu County knocked on the gate twice. If he can't satisfy him, God knows what will happen.

Man Guanzhong, except Cheng Zongchu, Li Xiang, Wang Bian, and Hao Zhenwei, are almost all his people.

"What can Zhang Xiang repay?" Shao Shude said with a sneer, "Could it be Qiancai Meiji."

"The king of Lingwu County is not joking." The emissary said with a dry smile, "Is the Jingyuan three prefectures enough?"

"I'm afraid Zhang Xiang is a warrior who hasn't been able to drive Jingyuan Town yet."

Shao Shude sat up straight.It's finally time for the show. They both knew it was nonsense when they said they only wanted to be General Zhengxi or something.

Zhang Jun offered the price of Jingyuan Town, which is actually a bit nonsense.After Cheng Zongchu's death, the warriors in Jingyuan Town must be 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 treat others as fools.

"Not enough." Shao Shude said bluntly without being pretentious.

The messenger breathed a sigh of relief.As long as you are willing to negotiate, the rest is nothing more than a question of price.

"Besides Jingyuan Town, the King of Jin Lingwu County can also be the King of Xia."

Shao Shude didn't answer, but talked about another matter.

"In the first year of Baoying, the imperial court appointed Li Huairang as the military envoy of Tongguan Town, the envoy of Tonghua and other prefectures, and the governor of Huazhou."

"In the fourth year of the founding of the middle school, Luo Yuanguang was named Li Yuanliang as the Jiedu envoy of the Zhen Guojun, and was given the title of Jiedu envoy of Longyou."

"In the second year of Zhonghe, Zhu Quanzhong was appointed as Tonghua Jiedu envoy."

"In the fourth year of Zhonghe, Wang Zhongjian served as the defense envoy of Huazhou."

The messenger turned pale when he heard this.The worst thing happened!
Shao Shude wanted Tonghua more than Jingyuan!

These two prefectures and eight counties have a population of hundreds of thousands, rich resources and treasures, and a gathering of heroes. It is by no means comparable to Jingyuan.

It is understandable that Shao Shude wanted to eat it.But understanding belongs to understanding, this really cannot be given.

"The envoy can't give it?" Shao Shude asked indifferently.

The envoy said with a bitter face: "The king of Lingwu County has too much appetite, so he really can't give it. How about resetting the Weibei Jiedu envoy during the Yongtai period and leading the five prefectures of Fu, Fang, Dan, Yan, and Sui?"

Shao Shude couldn't help laughing out loud.

The four prefectures of Fufang were originally dishes on their own plates, and they were already tidying up.Suizhou is a state of Shuofang Town.Are you kidding?

"Tongzhou is in the north of the Weishui River, so why isn't Weibei Town a state? There are also counties in Huazhou in Weibei, why can't they enter Weibei Town?" Shao Shude said.

"Isn't the King of Lingwu worried about material disputes? It should be noted that the Tang Dynasty is still the world."

Shao Shude smiled.

He still has a good impression of this envoy, because he reminded himself: it is possible to set up a Weibei town that appeared in history, including the four prefectures of Fengfang and the two prefectures of Tonghua.

"I only have two requests. First, set up Weibei Town, governing the six prefectures of Fu, Fang, Dan, Yan, Tong, and Hua, and I will serve as Jiedu envoy. Second, I recommend one person to serve as Jingyuan Jiedu envoy." Shao Shude said: "If you can deal with my matter, Zhang Xiang will have no worries."

If not, Shao Shude didn't say what would happen, and let Zhang Jun think for himself.

These courtiers thought they were green onions.If it weren't for my scruples about face and paying attention to eating appearance, I would have done it myself.

In history, Li Maozhen probably did not let go of these places. Huazhou belonged to Han Jian, but Tongzhou must be in his hands.

The messenger's mouth was bitter.

Although asking for a lot of money and paying back the money after landing, Shao Shude's ambitions should not be so big. Most of them only want to win Tongzhou and Huazhou.But it is precisely these two states that are not easy to give, and dare not give.

"The envoy is worried about Wang Bian and Hao Zhenwei? Don't worry, I will take the Tong and Hua prefectures myself, and I don't need to worry about the court. If there is any objection from the Beisi, someone will help persuade them." Shao Shude said again.

The messenger smiled wryly, cupped his hands, and said, "This is a big matter, and we have to discuss it with Prime Minister Zhang."

The plans made in advance will be completely abandoned.Shao Shude only agreed to allow King Shou to be enthroned, but directly asked for so many lands, which means that he did not contribute, and he wanted to get so many benefits. Xiang 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 Shuofang Town's power was getting bigger and bigger?
Zhang Xiang had to think about these things carefully and carefully weigh the pros and cons.
