Chapter 705
Chu Chengye wanted to drive him out.

But he can't.

He could only hold back the gnashing of teeth in his heart, forced a smiling face, and said, "Seventh brother was joking, although eldest brother doesn't have much family background here, he can barely scrape together the money. This is for the sake of seventh brother." An errand, it is my duty to be a big brother!"

"Brother is so generous, I am so grateful!" Chu Jingxian made a gesture!
Chu Chengye was full of aggrieved and angry.

This damned old seventh blatantly blackmailed him and threatened him, but he couldn't do anything.

He was indeed afraid that Chu Jingxian would help Chu Yuncheng.

He was annoyed in his heart, if those servants who were ineffective in doing things succeeded that time, Concubine De would die, Chu Jingxian would die, and Chu Xinyuan would have to shed his skin even if he didn't die.Why are you still disgusted by Chu Jingxian here today?

So he was right when he attacked Concubine De.

On the surface, these imperial brothers do not seem to participate in the dispute between him and the fourth child, but now, he has lost the help of the sixth child, and there is still an eighth child with the fourth child. If someone jumps to Chu Yuncheng's side again, he will Always passive.

He reassured himself that things that could be settled with money were nothing serious.

I am aggrieved now, and when he ascends to the high position, he will get it back one by one!
What is the silver paid now?From now on, the whole Dongxia will be his!

Chu Chengye went out, but Chu Jingxian didn't care, he was still drinking tea comfortably.

After a while, Chu Chengye came back with a stack of bank notes in his hand.

10 taels of silver is really a lot.

However, no matter whether it is Chu Yuncheng or Chu Chengye, there is no shortage of this money.

They have been operating for so long, not to mention the rewards in the palace, even the private property under their hands, they are also very rich.

He still felt unwilling in his heart, holding the bank note, he walked to Chu Jingxian very slowly, step by step, every step was on the apex of his own heart.

This is his silver.

With 10 taels, he can raise a hundred dead men.

It can raise [-] elite soldiers and use their three-year military pay and equipment for food.

You can win over several courtiers.

Can raise a bunch of beauties.

……

How many things can be done!
However, now it can only be handed over to Chu Jingxian.

Can he feel comfortable?
But he couldn't help it.

If you can buy Chu Jingxian with 10 taels of silver, it won't be a disadvantage!
He handed over the bank note with a stinky face: "Seventh Brother, here is the 10 taels you asked for!"

Chu Jingxian raised his voice and called out, "Lord Fang!"

Fang Zhaoyue, who had avoided going out with an excuse, didn't actually go very far.

He felt that everything that happened today was weird and grotesque, but it seemed normal that it was done by a dude like the Seventh Prince.

It's just that he seems to have heard too many things that he shouldn't have heard today. He is still old and slow to respond.

He should have avoided it earlier, so that he could not listen to anything.

But he also knew that even if he wanted to avoid it earlier, he might not be able to avoid it.

His Royal Highness made it clear that he was dragging him into the water!
He didn't know whether to hate His Highness the Seventh Highness, or to smile wryly!
Hearing Chu Jingxian's voice at this time, he thought, is this the end of the matter?He hurried back quickly.

Stepping into the hall, Chu Jingxian pointed to the bank note in Chu Chengye's hand, and said with a smile, "Lord Fang, Brother Dahuang generously donated money and subsidized us with 10 taels. This king admires Brother Dahuang's high morals and honesty." Mr. Fang put away the bank note, and I believe that with the great help of the big and four big brothers, our errands will go smoothly in the future, and there will be no unscrupulous things to make trouble. Right, big brother ?”

Chu Chengye clenched his back molars and squeezed out a word from between his teeth: "Yes!"

Fang Zhaoyu immediately cupped his hands and saluted: "Thank you, Your Highness King Jing!"

At this moment, Chu Chengye classified Fang Zhaoyue as one of Chu Jingxian's gang, and felt angry just looking at it.

When he was getting the bank note just now, he had a brief meeting with Mr. Xue. Mr. Xue said that Fang Zhaoyu, the minister of rites, was very slippery and had always been neutral. Today, it is better that he is here.Chu Jingxian also has scruples in acting like this!

He squeezed out a smiling face: "Master Fang, you are welcome!"

Chu Jingxian said with a grin: "Brother Emperor, you are being polite, and you will pay 10 taels when you make a move. My younger brother was shocked by your wealth and grandeur. How else can you say that Brother Dahuang is a man of great talent and great things! I wish you all the best!" The emperor's wish will be fulfilled as soon as possible!"

Chu Chengye loves to hear this sentence, is this a blessing bought for 10 taels of silver?
Chu Jingxian said very caringly: "Brother Emperor, I heard that there is a bloody person in front of your house!"

Chu Chengye: "..."

Then you brought it and threw it away. Are you treating me like a fool?

Chu Jingxian said indignantly: "Who is so blind that he was injured and lay in front of King Jing's mansion. Could it be that he wants to blackmail him? Brother Dahuang, since you value brotherhood so much, this king, the younger brother, will repay you. Help you clean up that thing that doesn't have eyes. You don't have to thank me too much!"

Chu Chengye was almost stunned to death, and said with a fake smile: "Then there will be the seventh brother Lao!"

"It's not enough!" Chu Jingxian shook his hand with a smile, said his farewell, and left with Fang Zhaoyue. Feng Rui, Guan Fang and others who were guarding outside the hall followed immediately.

Leaving Prince Jing's Mansion, Chu Jingxian had the dying man thrown on the ground dragged away, and he still paraded through the streets, still walking through the streets with Feng Rui's loud voice.

This person probably never dreamed that his treatment would be so different from those before him.

Although the people sent by those masters before came and went, they disappeared without a sound, unlike him, who were smashed beyond recognition by the people who passed by with rotten vegetables, leaves, small stones, and rotten eggs.

Those hateful, angry, and contemptuous gazes, as well as those who called him a traitor and called him unworthy of being a human being, all kinds of voices intertwined, making his mind chaotic.

He is a dead man, the master trained him to do all kinds of things for the master, why is he a traitor?Why don't you deserve to be human?

He doesn't understand, but he probably knows that he may have done something wrong!

Unfortunately, he knew it too late.

He was dead before he even got back into the dungeon, and an angry little stone fell right on his head.For him who was dying, the small stone was like the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Back at the office, Fang Zhaoyu hurriedly took out the pile of bank notes.

He felt like it was a hot potato.

I really didn't expect that with just two princes and His Highness the Seventh Prince's visit, so much could be collected.

He presented the banknote to Chu Jingxian with both hands.

Chu Jingxian glanced up and said casually, "These should be enough for the next reception expenses, right?"

18 taels, how is it not enough?
Fang Zhaoyu said: "There are more!"

"Use it first, and wait for the envoys of the Western Tang Dynasty to leave before confiscating it!"

Fang Zhaoyu decided so happily when he saw him, and after thinking about it, it seems that this is also a good way.

Between Eastern Xia, Southern Qi, Western Tang and Beiyue, although there were disputes over territorial issues from time to time, there were also exchanges of envoys between them.

Every time envoys from other countries came, the mission was either snatched by the first prince or the fourth prince.

Every time the errand is done beautifully, but the money spent is also very considerable, which time did not cost 10 taels or even millions of taels of silver?In fact, why do we need so many?But the prince is in charge of this matter, what can he say as a co-organizer?
Therefore, every time he, the chief official of the Ministry of Rites, was forced to go to the Ministry of Households to pay money, wouldn't he be looked down upon by the Minister of the Ministry of Households?
After the errand was completed, the chief official who ran the errand gained both fame and profit.

But this time something is different.

His Royal Highness the Seventh requested to follow the established regulations in the past.

That would cost nothing.

Moreover, when he went to the household department to pay money, His Highness the Seventh Highness did not order him, the co-organizer, to go, but went by himself.The money paid was not much, 5 taels.

This is shabby compared to the previous posture of the same foreign envoys who came to Beijing and often had to pay 20 taels to start.

He made a rough calculation. If the established regulations were followed, there would be 18 taels left over the 10 taels of silver.

If it is done better, there will be 5 to [-] taels left over.

Moreover, from the beginning to the end, His Highness the Seventh Highness did not touch the silver, and the silver ticket was handed over to him, the co-organizer, and let him be responsible.This is different from the previous ones. The previous two only used him when they went to the household department to withdraw money, and handed it over immediately when the money was withdrawn. They usually didn't let him take a look.

Fang Zhaoyu let out a long breath in his heart.

He knew that every time he did a reception mission, whether it was the eldest prince or the fourth prince, there were no less than 20 taels of money in his pocket.

But the Seventh Highness obviously didn't want to make money on it, and even became self-sufficient.

Is such an upright Seventh Highness really a dude?
If you look at it by the standards of the eldest prince and the fourth prince, he is a dude, because he can't pretend, he doesn't have a good name, and he does things directly, fairly and openly.

He is a bit of a rogue when it comes to dealing with the eldest prince and the fourth prince, but it has to be said that using a rogue against hypocrisy is miraculously effective!
Fang Zhaoyu sighed in his heart.

It's a pity that the emperor is looking at one of the eldest prince and four princes.And now, the forces in the DPRK are also distributed in this way.

And His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince obviously doesn't have this ambition, so, those of them who are courtiers, better do their part!

When Chu Jingxian fought bravely with the eldest prince and the fourth prince and made a lot of money, the poetry tea party in Yuqingyuan was also held in full swing.

This Princess Lan is Uncle Nine Emperors, the beloved daughter of King Chu Lingrui.

Uncle Nine Emperors has been leading troops abroad for many years, guarding the northern border. There are not only North Vietnam in the northern border, but also several wild small countries. The place is bitter and cold, and the output is not much. There was a small riot, so the town and border generals in the northern border were away all year round.

Uncle Nine Emperors loves his children very much. His son was taken to the border when he was 15 years old and trained in the army, but his daughter stayed in the capital all the time.

The emperor was very honored to this Nine Emperor Uncle who was guarding the border, and his daughter was named the princess, and she enjoyed food. Among the noble daughters in the capital, her status was not low.

The aristocratic women in Beijing are very happy to get a post from Princess Lan, so this poetry and tea party was attended by a lot of people.

Yuqingyuan is not in the King's Mansion, but the name of a separate courtyard of the King's Mansion.

There are pavilions, terraces and pavilions in the garden, rockery and strange rocks, and the scenery is beautiful. It is said that the layout in Yuqing Garden was arranged by Princess Lan himself.

The King of England and his sons only love the art of war and fighting, and they don't like those exquisite fireworks at all. Even if they return to Beijing to report on their duties occasionally, they prefer to eat meat and drink in big bowls in the palace!

Princess Lan is considered to be a woman from the general family. She has both the refinement and elegance of a noble girl in the capital, and the sharpness and heroism of a general woman. The posts she sends are not based on status. Anyone who has heard the name and thinks it is good will send it to her. Go for one.

So among them are the noble daughters of first-rank officials, such as Kong Zhiyou, Wei Wen, Qin Wanshu, etc., as well as the daughters of sixth- and seventh-rank officials, and even some concubine daughters. Of course, there are also civilians who are now civilians.

For example, Mu Qingyu and Ming Qinxue.

The post was sent to Ming Qinxue because she and Ming Qinxue had known each other for a long time and had a good relationship.

It was sent to Mu Qingyu, but it was because Mu Qingyu's firm recently launched a lip gloss. After using it, the lips are as bright as vermilion, moist and gorgeous, but they are natural and appropriate. They do not melt when exposed to water, and do not stain , she knew that it was actually developed by Mu Qingyu himself, so she became a little more curious about the first imperial concubine who was abandoned in the royal family.

Since we are talking about a poem, it is not just a poem about the daughter of the boudoir, but also some talented people from Beijing and China, noble sons, etc. have to be invited.

Mu Qingyu wasn't going to go.

This poetry tea party sounds elegant and interesting, but it is actually just a big gathering for young men and women taking the opportunity to come.

Every three or five days, there will be a poetry wine party, poetry tea party, flower appreciation party, lotus appreciation party... just to find an excuse for everyone to come out and play together.

In the past, when her business was not opened, she would happily go to such a gathering. Most of the people she met here were contacts!
But now she is busy opening branches in various places. Since the business has spread out from the capital like a radiation, the four caravans seem to be a little small, and she can consider building another one.

There are now 32 branches of the Qianmo Gang, Jining Hall has 38 branches, and the Escort Bureau is almost there. Now there are only eight branches...

She, Mu Qingyu, may be nothing special in the capital, but when it comes to Mr. Muyu, she is quite famous in the Jianghu. Among the Eastern Xia merchants, she is even nicknamed the boy who gathers wealth.

Don't say she has any friendship with Princess Lan, and she has never even met her.

But she didn't expect that Dongfang Moye would come to Mu's house to invite her.

Because Dongfang Moye also received the post.

Guessing that Mu Qingyu was not interested in this party, Dongfang Moye said with a smile: "This Princess Lan is not an ordinary princess, she has stayed in the northern border for a long time, if you want to open up business in North Vietnam Lu, you can learn about the situation in the northern border from her first!"

Mu Qingyu: "..."

It felt like Dongfang Moye was like a worm living in her heart, and he easily knew how to make her change her mind.

Dongfang Moye smiled, "Why don't Qingyu ride with me?"

Mu Qingyu smiled and said, "Wouldn't I have to bother you on the return trip like this? Qiu Zhu!"

The voice of the last two words was raised, and Qiu Zhu heard the voice: "Prepare the carriage!"

"Okay girl!"

Qiu Zhu came and went quickly, and disappeared in a flash.

Dongfang Moye: "..."

It's not that Qing Yu is afraid of troubling him on the return journey, but because she doesn't want others to speculate about the relationship between the two of them just because she's in the same car as him?
