The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 148 Invitation

"Now that the land in South of the Five Ridges has completely belonged to the Great Song Dynasty, the people in Lingnan are also the people of the Great Song Dynasty. As a citizen of the Great Song Dynasty, Mr. Zhuge, why should I appoint the people of the Great Song Dynasty?"

After Liu Wei said something, he smiled again, and helped Zhugepi to sit on the seat in the living room, while he sat on Zhugepi's side.

Seeing this, Zhan Qing, Liu Yi and the others knew that Liu Wei must worship Zhugepi as his master, and they also knew that Liu Wei must be important to Zhugepi. They admired Liu Wei, and now Liu Wei is determined. Naturally, they couldn't give any more gifts, so they had to bow their hands to Zhugepi: "Mr. Zhuge is polite."

Zhugepi seems to be still in the fog at this time. He originally stayed in the mansion just to find a way out, but unexpectedly Liu Wei reused a few words and called him Mr. At this time, he was even called Xingwang's mansion Ya is second only to Liu Wei, how dare he believe this is true?

But seeing Liu Wei's old subordinates bowing to him one after another, he was sure that it was not fake.

"Everyone, I can't do it, I can't do it. I'm ashamed of receiving Master Liu's love, so how can I stand up to you?"

Zhuge Pi stood up from his seat, and returned salutes to Zhan Qing, Liu Yi and others.

Seeing them like this, Liu Wei said with a smile: "From now on, we will be a family. You don't have to be so polite. Let's all do it. Now everyone is familiar with the situation in Xingwang's Mansion. Now let's discuss how to deal with these situations."

Everyone nodded, and then sat down in the living room.

Because Zhuge Pi was grateful for Liu Wei's kindness, he was very excited and wished he could show all he had learned in his life, so after listening to Liu Wei's words, he first said: "Master Liu, the most urgent task is to stabilize and rejuvenate the palace first. Therefore, we must persuade the five major families to open warehouses to release food, and as for the matter of the thieves and the Witch Sect, we can let it go for now."

Regarding Zhugepi's proposal, Liu Wei did not express his opinion, but only smiled slightly: "Then, in Mr. Zhuge's opinion, are the five major families easy to persuade?"

Zhugepi shook his head: "The people of the five major families are only interested in profit. It is not easy for them to open a warehouse to release food, but it is not easy, not impossible. Among the subordinates, the adults should not be enemies with the five major families. They should be part of the alliance. It is the best policy to suppress some of them, so as to break them one by one; and among the five major families, Qin Jun has been oppressed by the other four families, as long as the adults express their support to him, he will definitely turn to the adults."

"Mr. Zhuge's words are not bad, but even if I have the support of the Qin army, his Qin family is a bit weaker, so I'm afraid he can't compete with the other four big families?"

"That's right, among the five major families, Peng Jiu, Jiang Jie, Wen Lei, and Zhuang Yan are quite powerful, and each of them has [-] dead soldiers. The Qin army is next to them, with only [-] dead soldiers. With the support of the army, it is naturally difficult to resist the other four major families, but as long as the support of the Qin army is obtained, the adults can separate the relationship between Peng Jiu, Jiang Jie, Wen Lei, and Zhuang Yan, and then make them have two hearts. Adding the influence of the adults, there will be enough influence to disintegrate them."

Zhuge Pi talked eloquently, and explained the situation of the five major families very clearly. After listening to Liu Yi, Zhan Qing and others, they gradually developed admiration, thinking that their son-in-law Liu really had a good eye.

But at this moment, Liu Wei still didn't make a statement. He still smiled slightly and continued to ask: "Mr. Zhuge said that Peng Jiu, Jiang Jie, Wen Lei, and Zhuang Yan have a very good relationship, so how should I drive them apart? There is Qin Jun, although his Qin family is weak, but he is not necessarily willing to attach himself to this official."

Hearing Liu Wei's words, everyone nodded and said yes, and looked at Zhugepi, but Zhugepi was not surprised, but showed a slight smile, thinking that Liu Wei could see through the essence of things, and he was really an extraordinary person.

"My lord's question is very good. What my subordinates said just now is just a general direction, but I didn't say how to do it specifically. To achieve something, it is still in the details; first of all, how to make Qin Jun attach to your lord is not a very serious question. Difficult, as far as the subordinates know, Qin Jun and Wen Lei are very at odds. The two had a fierce fight over one incident a few years ago, and they haven't been in contact for a long time. Wen Lei often troubles Qin Jun even more. As long as the conflict between the two of them is provoked again, Qin Jun will definitely come to the Lord for protection; The relationship between the two of them, Zhuang Yan and Zhuang Yan, is not easy to divorce, but the relationship between Peng Jiu, Jiang Jie, Wen Lei, and Zhuang Yan is easy to divorce. As far as the subordinates know, Peng Jiu and Wen Lei have always been fighting. Xing Wangfu Baihua Lane business, taking this as an opportunity, it should not be difficult to drive them apart."

After hearing what Zhugepi had said, Liu Wei finally nodded his head: "Mr. Zhuge's words are not bad, but everything is easier said than done. I just came to the Xing Palace, and many things need to be prepared. Even if you have to deal with Xing The five major families of the palace should not act too hastily, so let’s ask Mr. Zhuge to send a letter to the people of the five major families, explaining that before the evening of the next day, I will invite them to the government office for a banquet.”

Zhuge Pi was overjoyed to see Liu Wei was so prudent in his actions at such a young age, so he complied repeatedly.

But after Zhuge Pi went to do the things arranged by Liu Wei, Liu Wei smiled at Zhan Qing and the others: "Everyone must be tired from the long journey, so let's go to rest first, the Japanese official may have to trouble you tomorrow."

After saying this, Liu Weidang left the living room and returned to the inner palace.

At this time, the inner mansion has been sorted out under the arrangement of several maids. Although it is not as good as the princess's mansion in the capital, there is no shortage of flowers, plants, trees, pavilions, towers and pavilions. When Liu Wei walked to the bedroom, Qin Yun was walking with Ruyi The princess was chatting, and when she saw Liu Wei coming in, she quickly got up and said goodbye. Although she, Qin Yun, was from the Southern Han Dynasty, she had no home. In the government office.

After Qin Yun left, Princess Ruyi asked a little puzzled: "I heard that the son-in-law worshiped that Zhugepi as his husband?"

Liu Wei nodded: "Zhugepi is a talent, and you have to rely on him for many things in Xingwangfu."

Princess Ruyi smiled slightly: "The son-in-law is really a meritocracy, as long as he values ​​his ability, he doesn't even ask about his background."

Liu Wei shrugged helplessly: "There is no way to do this. The people given to us by the Holy Majesty, it's okay to ask them to fight and kill people, but we can't count on them to deal with the affairs of the whole house. Zhugepi is quite talented. He is not half-hearted and can be reused."

Princess Ruyi nodded: "So, the son-in-law really wants to use Zhugepi's proposal to win over the Qin family and fight against the other four?"

Liu Wei shrugged, shook his head and said: "It will depend on the performance of the heads of the five major families tomorrow. If their attitude is good, it's fine, but if it's not good, I don't mind killing them."

"Destroy them?"

Princess Ruyi was a little surprised. Judging from what they heard, the five major families are very powerful. How can they be easily destroyed?There are more than 2000 dead soldiers in total, how useful are their hundred or so bodyguards?
But Princess Ruyi believed in Liu Wei's words very much. Since Liu Wei said he could kill them, he would definitely be able to kill them.

When the two were talking like this, Liu Wei frowned slightly, and said coldly: "Who is it?"

Princess Ruyi was taken aback, she didn't hear anything, but at this moment, Qin Yun's voice came from outside the door: "It's me, son-in-law, I want to ask what the son-in-law and the princess are going to eat tonight, and the servant will cook A few Lingnan side dishes, I just wonder if the son-in-law and princess would like them?"

Liu Wei and Princess Ruyi nodded knowingly. There really was something wrong with this Qin Yun, and he was actually eavesdropping on their speech.

"If Miss Qin is willing to cook, my son-in-law and princess will naturally like it."

"Then I will prepare now."

The footsteps outside the house gradually faded away. Liu Wei glanced through the crack of the door and saw that Qin Yun had really left, so she sat back.

"This Miss Qin is quite thoughtful."

"The son-in-law should be careful with her."

Liu Wei smiled, he didn't think Qin Yun would be harmful to him, he just didn't understand what secret Qin Yun had, why did she seem to be preoccupied since she came to Xing Wang's mansion?
Qin Yun walked towards the kitchen alone, but her mind was restless. At this time, she was extremely contradictory.
-
after dusk.

Wen Fu.

Wen Lei is a middle-aged man in his 50s and 40s, but because he is well maintained, he may only look about [-] years old, and he looks handsome and gentle, but this is just an appearance. If someone really knows him, he will never think of using gentleness. the word to describe him.

Now the man sitting next to Wen Lei is a person who knows Wen Lei very well. His name is Zhuang Yan. Zhuang Yan lives up to his name and gives people a very stern feeling. His eyes are slender. Sometimes, it can scare people's hairs.

Zhuang Yan glanced at Wen Lei, and said: "Brother Wen, the new prefect Liu Wei invited us to a banquet tomorrow. This is very likely to be a Hongmen banquet. Do you think we will go or not?"

Wen Lei smiled lightly: "Did Jiang Jie talk to us before that? This Liu Wei is extremely likely to attack us. Tomorrow's banquet will undoubtedly be a Hongmen Banquet, but even if it is a Hongmen Banquet, we must go."

"Will this... be too dangerous?"

Wen Lei shook his head: "Master Zhifu, please, we are in real danger if we don't go, and if we don't go to other people, then we are even more dangerous."

Zhuang Yan frowned slightly: "As long as Brother Wen doesn't go, who else would dare to go?"

Wen Lei shook his head, picked up a cup of tea and took a sip: "No, if we don't go, then Peng Jiu and Jiang Jie may not go if they want to form an alliance with us, but Qin Jun will definitely go, You don't know, although this Qin Jun is submissive on weekdays, he is a speculator, if he joins forces with Liu Wei, we may not be able to please him."
