Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 457 Dirty Deal

After Wanyan Zongbi left, Murong Fu walked over slowly.

Murong Fu stood next to Zhao Mu and whispered: "Mr. Zhao, I feel that this Jurchen's ambition is not small. I am afraid that in the future, my country of Yan will be like this."

Zhao Mu looked at Murong Fu and said confidently: "Brother Murong, what are you afraid of? With me, the Song Dynasty, the Yan Dynasty will definitely be able to establish a country."

Zhao Mu then sat back down and continued drinking his tea.

Murong Fu looked at the boxes of silver and said hesitantly: "Mr. Zhao, is it too much to give these Jurchens so much silver?"

Zhao Mu looked back at Murong Fu, and then said: "It's not much. If you want to reorganize your armaments, one million taels of silver to purchase grain, grass and ordnance is not much. It can only be regarded as feeding them temporarily."

Murong Fu still hesitantly said: "Well, Mr. Zhao, Murong Fu has a merciless request right now."

Murong Fu calmed down and finally spoke out. He begged: "Your Highness King Qi, now Murong Fu consumes a lot of money every day because of raising troops. This"

Zhao Mu looked at Murong Fu and asked, "What? Brother Murong also wants to ask for some money from me?"

Murong Fu said nothing and nodded quickly.

Seeing this, Zhao Mu was embarrassed and said: "Brother Murong is making things difficult for me. I have already given Brother Murong enough share of the big golden Buddha in Tianning Temple. Isn't Brother Murong too greedy?" ?”

Murong Fu was also very embarrassed when he heard this. But he still said to Zhao Mu: "The treasure of Tianning Temple is indeed a gift from His Highness King Qi to Murong Fu. With this money, Murong Fu solved his urgent need. Murong Fu has always been grateful for it. But now Murong Fu has it in his hands. It’s really a bit stretched.”

Zhao Mu still pretended to be embarrassed and said: "I am not trying to refute Brother Murong's face, but the money to support the Jurchens is divided from my own internal funds. It is not the imperial court of the Song Dynasty. Although I have made great achievements and received a lot of rewards from your Majesty, it is really difficult for me to spend more money. I didn’t think of any reason to prevaricate the princess.”

"As for asking the Song Dynasty treasury to contribute funds, it must be reported to the Zhongshu Province and approved by His Majesty. The officials in the Ministry of Household Affairs are not as easy to talk to as the officials in the Ministry of War under me. They spend every penny meticulously. Very much. Even if His Majesty uses the treasury money himself, he will have to spend a lot of money on them. "

After hearing Zhao Mu's words, Murong Fu also grasped the key point.

Although Zhao Mu said that the money from the treasury could not be withdrawn, he could not withdraw it himself. But he didn't say that he had no money, he just needed permission from Princess Mu Wanqing.

Murong Fu said at this time: "Then Murong Fu and the prince can borrow some money. Can the prince provide it? If not one million taels, half a million taels or three hundred thousand taels are also acceptable."

Zhao Mu still shook his head and said: "Fifty thousand taels, thirty thousand taels, this king can give it to Brother Murong. But for five hundred thousand taels, three hundred thousand taels, this must be approved by the princess. And if there is no legitimate reason, If there’s a reason, I can’t afford this money. Besides, after I return to Beijing, I still have two marriages to attend to.”

Murong Fu also heard what Zhao Mu meant, but he didn't care.

Murong Fu said at this time: "If the prince arranges another marriage and hires a woman, Murong Fu thinks that the princess will definitely agree."

When Zhao Mu saw that Murong Fu understood his intention, he said, "If it's a marriage, I will indeed agree."

At this time, Murong Fu said to Zhao Mu: "Your Majesty, Murong Fu's cousin Yu Yan and his maid Abi are all beautiful women. At the moment, both of them are not married. If the prince likes it, Murong Fu is willing to marry him. Your Majesty, let’s get married again.”

Zhao Mu saw Murong Fu being so polite, and then said: "Haha, it's not bad to be intimate with each other. Miss Abi is nothing, but Miss Wang seems to be only devoted to you, Mr. Murong. Zhao Mu still doesn't win people's love. That's good." Murong Fu is also a smart man. Although Zhao Mu refused, Murong Fu also saw that Zhao Mu was just saying a few polite words.

From the look in Zhao Mu's eyes, Murong Fu knew that she had plans for Wang Yuyan.

But Murong Fu didn't blame Zhao Mu. After all, what man wouldn't like a beautiful woman like Wang Yuyan? Even he himself coveted her appearance.

The reason why Murong Fu was reluctant to touch Wang Yuyan was also very simple.

One of the reasons is that Mrs. Wang hates him.

The second reason is that Wang Yuyan's background is too low. Although she is very beautiful and obedient to him, she cannot provide any career help to Murong Fu.

Murong Fu planned to keep his position as head wife to women who could help his career. For example, a young lady from a high-ranking official's family, or a princess or princess of a certain country. If he married Wang Yuyan, wouldn't it be too late for him to regret it if such a woman appeared in the future?

And the main reason is waiting for today. Wang Yuyan's appearance is much better than Aju Abi's. If you need it to restore your country, you can complete your great cause by giving her to the right person.

Naturally, a gift given to the right person cannot be a "broken flower and willow" that has already lost its virginity.

Murong Fu naturally did not dare to touch Wang Yuyan lightly.

Murong Fu was waiting for Wang Yuyan to grow up a little. After she was in her twenties, if his great career had not yet been achieved, it would not be too late for him to pick this delicate flower of his cousin.

Fortunately, Murong Fu met Zhao Mu early. And it just so happened that Zhao Mu was also a womanizer. And what's more coincidental is that Zhao Mu covets his maid and cousin.

Now that everything is ready, Murong Fu will naturally not begrudge one or two women. The current situation, to Murong Fu, was the value of their existence.

Murong Fu replied: "Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. Although my cousin has always loved Murong Fu, my cousin has always had unrequited love. Murong Fu devoted himself to the cause of reviving our country, the Yan Kingdom. When it comes to personal relationships between children, he always comes first." If the prince likes his cousin, Murong Fu would like to be a beautiful woman. Besides, you are a prince who is more talented than anyone else."

"If my cousin, the daughter of a reckless merchant from the martial arts world, can always serve the prince, it will be a blessing that she has cultivated for several lifetimes. Moreover, after our country of Yan was restored, it became a vassal state of the Song Dynasty, and we paid tribute to a princess county. The Lord’s marriage is also natural. Since the Murong family has only one lineage, Murong Fu’s cousin is the most suitable candidate.”

When Zhao Mu heard that Murong Fu was talking about this, Zhao Mu stopped being secretive.

Zhao Mu said: "But as the saying goes, forceful melons are not sweet. This kind of thing is better to be mutually agreeable. Although I am interested in Miss Wang, I am afraid that it is just Luo Hua's intention and water's ruthlessness."

Murong Fu said: "This is not difficult. Murong Fu is willing to persuade his cousin."

Zhao Mu smiled and said: "Okay! Okay! If Master Murong can persuade the beauty to return to my heart, then I can persuade the princess to give out some more money as a betrothal gift."

Murong Fu was also very happy when he heard that Zhao Mu agreed.
