son-in-law

Chapter 1085 Exchange
Tang Zhen led his troops back in a hurry, and two divisions of the vanguard approached the city of Chang'an.

When Tang Li saw that Tang Zhen brought only 2 people, he didn't rush out of the city to fight Tang Zhen, but stood at the top of the city and reasoned with Tang Zhen.

Tang Li said, I have dedicated a lot to my family and to you. I have given you two teachers successively. I thought you could see my sincerity, put aside distracting thoughts and dissatisfaction, so that brothers can live together peacefully.But I didn't expect you to push forward and play tricks on the Tenth Division. I can't let you anymore.

I am nearly fifty years old, and you asked me to let go of my military power and go home to be an elder. I can accept it, but the brothers who have followed me for many years, they have struggled for half their lives, but in the end they ended up empty-handed. How can I bear it?
You have to know, starling, I joined the army at the age of 17, and most of the people who followed me were over forty in half a year. I can't let them, who have devoted half their lives for me and my family, be unemployed in middle age. This is the greatest cruelty to them.

Is a person who can do such a thing still a person?
Don't feel ashamed of dismissing middle-aged people with seniors and juniors. Do we, the Tang family, have the nerve to call ourselves a family of gentlemen?

Tang Corporation owes a lot of pensions, and some widows who died did not get the pensions, but there are still many people who come to join us and shed their blood for us. Do we treat them like this?
Tang Zhendao: "What the starling said is very true. I, the Tang Corporation, will not treat those who follow us badly. No matter how much pension we owe, we will definitely pay it back. I have made a ten-year settlement plan, and it has been implemented for more than a year now. Everyone has seen the effect. My brother’s expedition to the west has also opened up the Hexi commercial road and the ancient road to the Western Regions. Since then, my Tang family’s income has doubled and we are more confident in completing the plan. As for the mynah’s statement of “making two divisions one after another”, I do not agree. .Ancestral precepts say that Tang's military power is only in the hands of An Guogong. Since it was my hereditary title at the beginning, then the military power should be mine. Why do you give it up?"

Tang Li roared: "You can fool others, but you can't fool me! I know how much the Tang family owes, let alone 20 years, even [-] years, you still can't figure it out! I won't argue with you. , I just want you to return to Luoyang immediately and be your An Guogong. When I die of old age, I will naturally give you Chang'an. But now, don't even think about it!"

To fight, or not to fight, Tang Zhen also has a headache.

Chang'an at this time is no longer Chang'an in the heyday of Tang Dynasty.Four years ago, there were only 20 people here, which was not at the same level as the prosperous Tang Dynasty capital with a population of one million.But this is already the largest city on Tang's territory.

Surviving the Anti-Hu War, after more than three years of development, Chang'an City has recovered to nearly 30 people, and after two tax reforms, this ancient city has been rejuvenated, and it has a momentum of prosperity.If you experience a big battle at this time, it will feel like all previous efforts have been wasted.

What's even more scratching is that Tang Zhen has no money.

……

In the evening, Prince Qin's Mansion, Qinxiang Xiaozhu.

King Qin looked leisurely, propped his head on one hand, and fell down on the couch.Concubine Xiang played flower balls with her servants and showed the show to King Qin.

Every time a woman is added to the family, it will add a new atmosphere, especially the arrival of Xiangfei, which is even more extraordinary.In addition to the special status of Concubine Xiang, there is also a group of them with special accents and soft personalities, which add a lot of color to the Qin Palace.

Sima Xiang brought four court ladies, Feng Yin, Luo Lian, Teng Juan, Gu Ying, all handsome.He also brought a little eunuch who looked like a boy and a girl.It is said that this little eunuch was chosen temporarily, rather than growing up with the princess, and I don't know what the Nanjin move meant.

Su Yu felt that even a woman who was arrogant in the eyes of southerners was still soft in the eyes of northerners.Where this feeling comes from is unknown, but this is how he feels.Of course, this is just Su Yu's opinion, it's just an interesting talk, so it can't be taken as true.The south has its advantages, and the north has its advantages. Each has its own merits, so there is no need to argue.

Coming to Qinxiang Xiaozhu felt like being in the southern country, Su Yu didn't even want to talk to spoil the atmosphere here.

In the past, the female family members of the Qin Palace were too powerful, not to mention the strong ladies like Tang Wangfei and Ximen side concubine, even Feng Yu, who was as timid as a mouse, had thorns on her body.That's not to mention Kong Ting who dared to throw the wine glass at Princess Geng.

Of course, southern women also have conflicts and fights, but their fighting methods are different from those of northerners.

According to Sima Xiang, women in the south always quarrel three feet away, jumping their feet, waving their hands and cursing, and they don't move until they foam at the mouth.It's not like you northerners, who pull your hair and wrestle at every turn, it's scary to think about it.Su Yu said, don't listen to those people's nonsense, we Liang Dynasty are all civilized people, we don't fight.

Before Su Yu finished speaking, he heard Lao Huang yelling curses outside the courtyard, as if he wanted to kill someone.

Sima Xiang's master and slave shrank their necks in fright, but soon they ran out, looking out with their heads shrunk.But at Lao Huang's speed, by the time they ran over, Lao Huang's figure would have been gone for a long time.

When Sima Xiang came back, King Qin was a little embarrassed.

Sima Xiang observed the words and expressions, and continued to play flower balls with the slaves in order to overcome the embarrassment.

"Your Highness, can we discuss something?"

"What's the matter?"

"The dishes in the palace are all salty, and it makes people uncomfortable to eat."

For some unknown reason, the maids brought by Sima Xiang were not as cautious as the maids from the palace, they dared to joke with the princess.Unless you annoy the princess, you don't know how to restrain yourself.They are more like a group of sisters than masters and slaves.This may be a problem that Sima Xiang has been accustomed to for a long time.

It wasn't Sima Xiang who said the food was bad, but Feng Yin.If Wang Xun saw this scene, he would slap him with a big mouth.I will also say: I don’t know the rules, is it your turn to speak here?It’s good enough for you to eat, but you dare to picky eaters?

But in Su Yu's view, that's not the case.At that time Sima Xiang was hiding behind Feng Yin, although she was still playing with a bouquet, but she was peeking slightly sideways at King Qin.Su Yu reckoned that this was what Sima Xiang asked Feng Yin to say.But she was worried that King Qin would refuse, so she asked Feng Yin to take the lead.

Seeing her sneaky look, Su Yu wanted to laugh.

"That's easy, just talk to the dining hall."

Hearing this, Sima Xiang cheered up, threw down the bouquet, and sat beside King Qin, smiling very pleasantly.

How to change the menu specifically, let Tang Fei go to the dining hall and tell Su Yu not to worry about it, just thinking that Lin Wan or Hu Rong should come over to explain the rules to Feng Yin and the others.

In Qinxiang Xiaozhu and the future Xiangfei Pavilion, they can continue to implement the rules of the Southern Jin Dynasty, but to go in front of the princess, they must know the rules of the princess.Otherwise, it will be a matter of time before you get beaten.

In addition, they seem to have not quite figured out what is going on in Qinghuafang.This is the domain of the powerful, not the king of Qin.Moreover, the clans in the Liang Dynasty were different from those in the Southern Jin Dynasty. The clans here were essentially warlords who entered Beijing to participate in politics, and they had more confidence.

As for how King Qin got into the clan, we have to start from the beginning.Talking about the past, talking endlessly, Princess Xiang was fascinated by it.Only then did I know that King Qin had such a rich life experience...

"Yo, so Your Highness used to be a son-in-law. How did you survive that kind of life? In the Southern Jin Dynasty, a son-in-law was looked down upon. Just married, you have to join the army for three years. In the army, you don't even have a chance of promotion." No, just do some dirty and tiring work. When you get home, you have to listen to your daughter-in-law in everything, and you are not allowed to say a word 'no', so you are nicknamed 'Bu Lang'. His family status is not even as good as that of a housekeeper. .”

If it was a woman, she should pretend to be pitiful at this time, but men are different, they should pretend to be strong, Su Yu patted his heart and said: "Then you underestimate my real husband, when I was a son-in-law, I was also a romantic in Luoyang city Characters. Chasing after the real gentleman, there are countless women who want to post back."

"Really?"

"Of course."

"Hey~, you're lying, you can't help but laugh."

While King Qin was playing in Qinxiang Xiaozhu, Wang Xun came, and she said that the princess asked King Qin to move to the main pavilion to discuss important matters.

Seeing Wang Xun's slouched neck and drooping face, he deliberately referred to "Xiaofeng Pavilion" as "Zheng Pavilion", swearing that her master's unshakable heroine status is really hard enough.

……

Xiaofeng Pavilion.

"I'm bothering Your Highness."

This is really the sun coming out from the west, Princess Tang was able to say these words, and she still stood up and saluted slightly.

This is too polite.

Suddenly, there must be something to ask for help. Su Yu was not in a hurry, and sat down and said, "between husband and wife, why bother. If there is something urgent, it's okay to say."

Then she told Su Yu about the situation in Chang'an. Now that Tang Zhen and Tang Li are confronting each other across the city, Tang Zhen intends to use thunderous means, but he has a lot of worries, but after all...

"My brother has no money."

As expected by Su Yu, he really wanted something.

Su Yu didn't say anything.

Hearing the wind blowing against the window lattice, and seemed to be able to hear her heartbeat, a burst of rustling leaves broke into the Xiaofeng Pavilion, Qin Wang said: "Then will your brother fight or not?"

"If you want to fight, you need at least 50 billion; if you want to seek peace, you need 20 billion, because..."

Before Tang Linger finished speaking, the King of Qin waved his hand and said, "I will give him 100 billion and ask him to make a quick decision and kill the grass. But he must promise me one condition."

"What conditions?"

"During my military training period, I will do everything possible to provide me with convenience. Give me Lin Chongyang, and I will let Lin Chongyang be the governor of Liangzhou and Sima. From then on, Lin Chongyang is mine, and he can no longer interfere. Liangzhou's taxes, I can give it to you, but the military administration belongs to me."

"But……"

"No, but Hanzhong belongs to the imperial court, not your Tang family."
