Chapter 556 0553 [If you want to die, don’t get involved with us! 】

Towering green tower.

It is the largest restaurant in Hangzhou.

Rather than saying that the Tower is a restaurant, it is better to say that it is a garden. The environment inside the building is quiet and quiet, and there are many terraces. The moon pool made of stone and bricks, the towering swings, etc. attract countless tourists in the spring.

Both the specifications and architectural style are modeled after the Fan Tower in Bianjing.

In the original time and space, the Jin people conquered Bianjing. After Zhao Gou fled to Hangzhou with a group of northern officials, in memory of his old capital Bianliang, he changed the name of Shancui Tower to Fengle Tower (Fan Tower).

Wu Zimu, a native of the Song Dynasty, described the scenery and customs of Lin'an, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, in his book "Meng Liang Lu". He had a detailed record of the towering green tower: "According to the meeting of the West Lake, there are thousands of peaks connected, a vast expanse of green, and Liuting Huawu. Between the railings and sills, people can swim on the rafters and sing on the embankments, often downstairs, which is the best place to visit."

Lin Sheng's well-known poem "Inscribed on Lin'an Mansion", in which the two lines "The green mountains outside the mountains and the outside buildings, when will the singing and dancing in the West Lake stop" refer to the towering green tower.

Xie Ding, who had been ill before, finally recovered his health and held a banquet in the Shangcui Tower for all the heads of aristocratic families.

In the evening, the sun sets in the west.

The afterglow falls, dyeing the West Lake golden, and the summer evening breeze blows, making the waves sparkle.

"Dingling bell~"

The clear and melodious ringing of the car bell came, and a fragrant car came.

The wheels ran over the bluestone slabs and stopped in front of the gate tower of the towering green building.

The coachman opened the door curtain, and Yu Xiangwu bent down and walked out of the carriage.

"Brother Yu."

Ming Laoer stood in front of the door and said hello with a smile.

Yu Xiangwu cupped his hands and said in greeting: "Brother Ming is here so early?"

Ming Lao Er Ruo had some pointers and said: "Thank you for hosting the banquet, so naturally you have to come early. You can't lose etiquette."

"That makes sense."

Yu Xiangwu smiled slightly.

While the two were talking, another luxuriously decorated carriage arrived.

Looking at the gilded history token hanging on the carriage, Ming Laoer immediately dropped his face and snorted coldly.

Seeing this, Yu Xiangwu hurriedly whispered: "Brother Ming, the overall situation is more important. Leave some grudges to be resolved later, but there must be no internal strife now."

Yesterday, with his help, Ming Laoer and the head of the Shi family also joined the alliance.

Ming Laoer said: "Brother Yu still needs to be given some face. I don't want to be on the same level with him."

"Thank you, Brother Ming."

Yu Xiangwu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Yu."

The head of the Shi family stepped out of the carriage and saluted Yu Xiangwu, but ignored Ming Laoer beside him.

It has to be said that the two acted so well that Yu Xiangwu, who was unaware, could not see the slightest clue.

More and more carriages arrived, and soon more than twenty people gathered in front of the gatehouse.

Of course, there are more than just these aristocratic families in the entire south. There are also many who are waiting and watching at home, hesitant.

"Qian Weng."

As the gift of money arrived, everyone came forward to see the gift.

Although Yu Xiangwu and others hid it very well, Qian Xianli still saw the sarcasm and jest hidden in their eyes.

At this old age, the old man had never seen any big winds and waves, so he didn't care at all and just smiled and greeted them.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, a burst of uniform footsteps came.

"coming!"

Everyone looked stern, and after tidying up their appearance, their faces were solemn.

Not long after, escorted by more than a hundred Xuanjia troops holding halberds and spears, a carriage slowly drove over.

The black armor exudes a chill under the setting sun.

Soon, the carriage stopped in front of everyone, and Xie Ding, dressed in black official uniform, stepped out of the carriage.

"I've seen Prime Minister Xie!"

Everyone bowed and bowed.

"No need to be polite."

Xie Ding had a smile on his lips and said with a slightly apologetic tone: "Your Majesty just issued the decree, and it was delayed for a while, making you all wait for a long time."

Hearing the word "destiny", a strange look flashed in the eyes of Yu Xiangwu and others, but they smiled and said: "Thank you, Prime Minister, for your invitation."

"Please, Mr. Qian."

Xie Ding did not raise his hand, but extended his hand to indicate.

It is etiquette to respect the elderly and love the young. Qian Xianli is over eighty years old. It is a proper sign of honor at this time and should not be treated lightly.

Looking at the graceful and gentle Xie Ding in front of him, Qian Xianli praised: "Xie Xiang is generous and generous, knows people and treats people well, and has the style of his ancestors."

King Shu once said that the Xie family has been a noble family for generations. Now it seems that this statement is indeed true.

The prime minister of the cabinet, the head of a hundred officials, truly one person is inferior to ten thousand people. Even Xie Jiang has never reached this height.

With this merit of following the dragon, as long as they don't commit suicide, the Xie family can still be blessed for several generations.

But Qian Xianli was not envious. The two families had completely different ways of doing things.

For the Qian family, keeping a low profile is king. It would be best if the court and His Majesty could forget about the Qian family.

"Qian Weng is so complimentary."

Xie Ding said modestly.

Qian Xianli sighed with emotion: "I think back on that time, when my late father took me to Fuyang to visit Duke Xi Shen, I was still a little kid. I never imagined that it would be almost 80 years ago. Time is not forgiving."

Xie Ding chuckled and said: "Mr. Qian is old and strong, and spring mountains are expected."

The group of people entered the Shucui Building chatting and laughing. The shopkeeper had been waiting in front of the store to greet them early, and enthusiastically led everyone up to the largest private room on the third floor.

The decoration of this elegant room is extremely luxurious. Since it is a replica of Fan Tower, the decoration cannot be inferior.

At the same time, the location is excellent, adjacent to the West Lake. Open the windows and doors, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the West Lake from a high place.

Seeing that he was placed in the chief position, Xie Ding immediately declined: "There is a rich man, how can it be the turn of a junior like me to sit in the chief position."

"Xie Xiang is also one of our own, why should he meet outsiders?"

Qian Xianli said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, what Mr. Qian said makes sense. Prime Minister Xie has brought glory to the people of the South and deserves to be the chief."

Yu Xiangwu and others agreed one after another and began to build friendship.

Xie Ding couldn't refuse, so he had to sit down at the main seat.

When everyone was seated, the next moment, a maid held a silver tray and presented fruits and wine.

For a time, there was a fragrant breeze.

Xie Ding picked up the wine glass, stood up and said: "All of you here are great sages from the south. This time we attack the Song Dynasty, the south can be quickly stabilized without your help. I would like to drink to you."

"Thank you for being so polite."

"These are what we should do."

"The Pseudo-Song Dynasty went against the grain and lost all its destiny. My heart has long been towards Daqi and Your Majesty."

Everyone stood up quickly and began to express their loyalty.

After a glass of wine, the atmosphere in the private room became lively.

Although the Fuyang Xie family is different from other aristocratic families, they are still from Zhejiang and Zhejiang, so they are naturally close to each other.

This is also the reason why Han Zhen sent him to lead the battle.

Yu Xiangwu started, and everyone played Feihua Ling.

The people present were all well-educated people. The tutors of the aristocratic families were no worse than those of the royal family. Knowledge, like the land, was the foundation for the survival and development of the aristocratic families.

Time passed bit by bit, and before I knew it, the sky outside the window turned completely dark. After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, many people looked tipsy.

Xie Ding put down his chopsticks, picked up the hot handkerchief on the silver plate and wiped the corners of his mouth.

Seeing this, everyone's expressions changed slightly and they all sat upright.

Let’s get down to business!
Xie Ding said sternly: "It has been more than two hundred years since Duke Yi Wen moved his family from Taikang, Kaifeng to Fuyang. The Xie family can be regarded as out-and-out southerners. There are elders and friends here, so For some words, I won’t beat around the bush, let’s open the skylight and speak openly.”

"Thank you, Prime Minister!"

Ming Laoer flattered him.

Xie Ding said: "Your Majesty's southern expedition is to stabilize the hearts of the people in the south, and secondly, he is here for you."

After the words fell, everyone present was surprised.

They didn't expect Xie Ding to speak so straightforwardly.

After a moment of silence, Yu Xiangwu complained: "Others don't know, and Prime Minister Xie doesn't know. Over the years, I have kept to myself and abide by my duties, but I have never done anything beyond my reach."

Xie Ding smiled slightly but did not answer.

Wei Wei and Yu Xiangwu looked at each other and spoke first: "My Wei family is very loyal to His Majesty, but after all, we are not as wealthy as the Qian family. We are willing to donate 10,000 acres of fertile land, and in addition, we will give 300,000 yuan as a reward." Soldiers."

This was the result they had discussed earlier.

Officials have come all the way to Zhejiang and Zhejiang. It is obviously impossible to get away with nothing. If they get some blood, they should be able to lose money and eliminate disasters.

Although 10,000 acres of fertile land and 300,000 yuan are a bit distressing for them, it won't take long before they can make money back.

Will the official family always stay in Liangzhe?

After the officials leave, they will have plenty of means to deal with the people.

"My Yu family is the same as the Wei family."

Yu Xiang Wudang immediately agreed.

"The same goes for the Gu family."

"Zhang family..."

Xie Ding picked up the tea cup and slowly sipped the tea without saying a word.

Seeing this scene, everyone's hearts suddenly skipped a beat.

Tens of thousands of acres of fertile land and three hundred thousand dollars were not enough. The appetite of the officials seemed a bit too big.

Yu Xiangwu quietly looked at Xie Ding, trying to pick out clues from his face.

But Xie Ding remained calm and looked as usual.

Yu Xiangwu considered it and said: "Xie Xiang, the puppet emperor of the Song Dynasty went south for more than a year and plundered money wantonly. My family has suffered disasters and we really can't give more. Hundreds of people in the clan are still waiting for food. We can't let them drink from the northwest wind. Please thank the Prime Minister for being accommodating and accommodating to His Majesty."

Hearing this, Xie Ding chuckled and said, "You have misunderstood. How could His Majesty be like the pseudo-Song Emperor, who was foolish and ignorant, and took advantage of others by clever means?"

hiss!
Yu Xiangwu took a deep breath, feeling shocked and confused.

He would rather His Majesty be mediocre and spend money to spend his time, which is no big deal to them.

Come whatever you are afraid of. Xie Ding's words make it clear that His Majesty is not here for money.

Trouble!
"Haha, that's what Mr. Xie said."

Wei Wei laughed sarcastically, and then asked: "Your Majesty, why did you come here this time? Please tell me."

Putting down the tea cup, Xie Ding said loudly: "All dynasties have died because of the land. Your Majesty plans to prepare for a rainy day. Don't worry, the land will be converted according to the market price, and I will not let you suffer a loss."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's expressions changed drastically.

This is to remove the firepower from under the cauldron and dig out their foundation!

Wei Wei swallowed his saliva and continued to ask: "But I don't know how much your Majesty wants?"

"Three thousand acres."

Xie Ding held out three fingers and said without question: "Your Majesty will only allow you to keep 3,000 acres of land, and the rest will be sold to the court."

Three thousand acres?
The head of the Gu family looked ugly and forced a smile: "Xie Xiang also knows that our family has a big business and many children in the clan. Three thousand acres of land is really not enough for the family to eat and drink. Can we be accommodating?"

Xie Ding shook his head and said in a strong tone: "There is no room for discussion on this matter."

"..."

For a moment, the atmosphere in the private room became silent and depressing.

No one said anything, which actually showed their attitude. This was a silent protest.

Seeing this, Ming Laoer and the head of the Shi family sneered.

Xie Ding was not annoyed, and stood up and said: "You don't need to answer me immediately, but you can go back and think about it for a while. I still have official duties, so I won't accompany you any longer. I'll take my leave!"

After saying that, Xie Ding opened the door and left.

He knew very well that land was the lifeblood of these people, and it was simply unrealistic for them to hand over their land immediately.

This person will always be lucky unless absolutely necessary.

But it doesn't matter, in His Majesty's words, let the arrow fly for a while.

After Xie Ding left, Qian Xianli slowly stood up and said with a sleepy face: "I'm a little sleepy, so I'll take my leave now."

"Slow down, Mr. Qian."

Yu Xiangwu and others bowed their hands perfunctorily.

In their opinion, Qian Xianli had already been frightened out of his wits and had donated all his family's property. There was no difference whether he left or not.

After closing the door of the private room again, Yu Xiangwu looked around with a gloomy face and asked, "What do you think?"

Wei Wei sneered and said: "The official family is really a lion. They only left us three thousand acres of land. Are they sending beggars away?"

"I'm determined not to sell it, but some people can't tell. They make a lot of money from sea trade and don't care about the small profits in the fields, so they might sell us."

Ming Laoer said and glanced at the head of the Shi family.

boom!
The head of the Shi family slapped the table and cursed angrily: "Fuck your mother!"

At this moment, Yu Xiangwu shouted loudly: "At this time, there is still such a noise!"

"Humph!"

Ming Laoer snorted coldly: "For Brother Yu's sake, I won't argue with you today."

Yu Xiangwu said solemnly: "The fields are our foundation. Once we lose our fields, you should know what will happen. Because of this, we must unite and never let the officials take advantage of it. I I don’t believe it, the officials really dare to raise the butcher’s knife and kill a mountain of blood in the south.”

Wei Wei echoed: "Brother Yu is right, we are not soft persimmons. If we are pressed, we will not have peace in the south!"

Hearing this, the others also spoke one after another.

In the face of a huge threat, a group of wealthy families couldn't help but huddle together for warmth.

Suddenly, a voice came out from the crowd: "I heard that the official family is going south this time, with only a thousand personal guards around..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yu Xiangwu: "Shut up, are you crazy? If you want to die, don't get involved with us!"

Everyone was startled by these words, and everyone looked panicked.

Assassination of officials...

Darling, this is going to break the sky.

Yu Xiangwu warned: "We are just protecting ourselves, not seeking death. Once you leave this door, you will act like you have never heard this sentence. Do you understand?"

"clear."

"I saved it."

Everyone nodded.

Indeed, they were just trying to protect themselves, not seeking death.

Once this idea is opened, it will completely break the skin, and you will have to die if you don't want to die.

Even if they did succeed and someone else ascended the throne, they would not be left alone given this precedent.

After all, if something like this happens the first time, there will be a second time.
