"I know that Lord Hou is loyal to the court, and General Black Feather is also loyal to the court." Pei Shiqing shook his head slightly and sighed, "But not all of the Chinese military officials are in awe of the generals. Lord Hou. Although it is far in the west, the situation in Kyoto should be well known."
"Don't dare!" Fan Ziqi's eyebrows were already worried.
In his eyes, Shiqing Pei still calmly said: "The commander of Tantai University has a strong temperament, so he has offended some people in Beijing, and General Black Feather is the brother of the commander of Tantai. Those people will naturally regard the general as a member of the commander. The general has already obtained the military power of Xiling, and now he can easily get hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from the Xiling family. Lord Hou, this military power and financial power are combined. Do you think the people in the court will be indifferent?"
Fan Ziqi smiled bitterly: "I was confused for a while. I didn't expect so much at the time." He got up and walked to the chair next to Shiqing Pei and sat down in a soft voice: "Master Shiqing, do you think this will cause a disturbance?"
"Once a storm is set off, the Fan family will suffer." Pei Shiqing said solemnly: "No matter how many people in the DPRK join the generals, he is a hero of the empire after all, and the commander of Tantai must be behind him. General Kuroba has the prestige in the army. Very high, if the court punishes the general for this, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction with the military. In addition, the saint still trusts the general, so no matter how big the trouble is, the general will eventually be able to retreat."
"But my Fan family may be about to face a catastrophe." Fan Ziqi smiled bitterly: "I donated half a million taels of silver to the general as military resources. It was me who contributed to it. It was all my money. The money was not sent to the city. Protect the mansion, but directly gave it to Zhonglang General Su Changyu, and then wait if it is directly handed over to the general, this...this is indeed a great negligence."
Shiqing Pei whispered: "Master Hou, King Fenyang has always been at odds with the Grand Commander. His old man treats the general as a thorn, right?"
"Yes." Fan Ziqi said: "The Fenyang throne is highly powerful. If...if...if the anger comes here because of the commander of Tantai University, the Fan family must be in danger."
Shiqing Pei's eyes flashed, and she whispered: "I'll be honest, if King Fenyang really wants to attack Master Hou, based on the current situation, Master Hou will really be in disaster."
"Master Shiqing, can you...can there be a way to help the Fan family survive this disaster?" Fan Ziqi couldn't help but grabbed Shiqing Pei's arm behind him, as if thinking of the power of the Fenyang King, not without fear: "If it can be saved After this catastrophe, the Fan family must be grateful for the great kindness of Master Shiqing."
Shiqing Pei shook his head and sighed: "Master Hou, I'm just a servant in the North Campus. In front of King Fenyang, it's like a bug. If he moves a finger, I will be crushed."
Fan Ziqi sighed: "So, does the Fan family really have to face a disaster?"
"That's not necessarily." Pei Shiqing said with a light smile: "Hou Ye don't forget that although King Fenyang is of high power, he can't cover the sky with one hand. At least one person in the court can turn things around and protect the Fan family."
"My lord is talking about... Your Royal Highness?" Fan Ziqi's eyes lit up.
Shiqing Pei nodded slightly: "Yes, it is your Royal Highness."
Fan Ziqi said: "If King Fenyang really takes an attack, His Royal Highness will come forward to protect it, and the Fan Family will naturally be able to turn a good fortune. It's just that... Your Majesty, can your Royal Highness take action to protect it?"
"I said earlier that the princess is very satisfied with the loyalty of the Fan family." Shiqing Pei said: "Even admonish the saint to make an order and choose from the Fan family.
Select outstanding children to enter the dynasty as officials.The princess still cares about the Fan family. If someone in the court really borrows the five hundred thousand taels of silver and intends to attack the Fan family, his Royal Highness will naturally not sit back and watch."He pondered slightly, then said: "Hou Ye, Your Royal Highness will help you come forward, but you really have to rely on Hou Ye himself to save the Fan family.""
The lights in the house have not yet been lit, and Fan Ziqi seems to have forgotten to let people light them, and it is quite dim all around.
"It doesn't matter if your Majesty has something to say straight." Fan Ziqi said: "If your Royal Highness has any place to use the Fan family, the Fan family will die."
Shiqing Pei said with a smile: "His Royal Highness wants to protect the Fan family, how can you let the Fan family die?" After a pause, with one arm resting on the case with his body slightly to his side, he approached Fan Ziqi and whispered: "His Royal Highness must be a saint. Do you know about the construction of a royal temple?"
Fan Ziqi said, "I heard it a little bit, but I don't know the truth or not."
"Naturally, it is true." Shiqing Pei immediately said: "In order to give the saint the right to filial piety, he plans to build the royal temple after the new year. Just as the old lady is celebrating her birthday, His Royal Highness also wants to show filial piety. ."
"The birthday of the saint is celebrated in the whole world, and the filial piety of your Highness is commendable, which is admirable."
Shiqing Pei said: "The construction of the royal temple requires at least three or four million taels of silver. I came to Xiling this time to raise some silver for the princess. You know, the treasury is tight, and the saint is a generation of saints. The treasury was emptied for the construction of the imperial imperial temple. His Royal Highness shared the worries for the saints, thinking that if he could raise money outside, he would raise money outside, and it is best not to move to the treasury." With a light smile, he said: "The assets of Yuwen family will be shipped back to Kyoto , The Zhen family will also be quarreled, and the money these two have stolen can relieve His Highness’s urgent need."
"My lord, I don't know if you can make up the necessary expenses?" Fan Ziqi asked immediately.
Shiqing Pei said: "If you add the confiscation of the Zhen family's wealth, it will be almost the same. However, your Highness plans to spend three or four million taels of silver. It is a province and a province, and many buildings are even cancelled. But for children, they all hope to give their parents. Best of all, His Royal Highness is naturally thinking the same way. If you have a lot of money, your Royal Highness certainly hopes to build the royal temple to its magnificence. In the final analysis, this is not only a piece of filial piety, but also the face of the empire."
Fan Ziqi said: "The Lord Shiqing said that the royal temple is about the face of the empire, and it must not be sloppy. I am a courtier of Datang, and the master has worries. Of course, the minister must share the worry for the master."
"His Lord Hou has this heart, and His Highness knows that it must be joy." Shiqing Pei frowned and smiled: "I will report to His Highness as soon as possible to inform His Highness that Lord Hou is loyal to the country."
"My lord, I don't know how much is appropriate?" Fan Ziqi asked cautiously.
Shiqing Pei flicked the dusty cuffs, and smiled faintly: "Master Hou, this is not my decision, it depends on the mind of Master Hou."
"I took out two...300,000 taels here, I don't know if it's OK?" Fan Ziqi asked in a low voice.
Pei Shiqing glanced at Fan Ziqi sideways, smiled slightly, and said nothing.
"Five hundred thousand taels!" Fan Ziqi gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, my family has gone bankrupt. I will donate five hundred thousand taels of silver to the court to build the royal temple."
Shiqing Pei whispered: "Master Hou, I know that you have taken out five hundred thousand taels, which is already full of sincerity, but... the mistake is that you shouldn't give out five hundred thousand taels to General Black Feather last time. If there is no such thing, let alone five hundred thousand taels, if you take out two or three hundred thousand taels, your Highness will definitely be happy. You gave General Kuroba five hundred thousand taels, and now it is also half a million taels for His Highness. , Is it possible that the identity of General Kuroba is the same as your Highness
On par?"He picked up his teacup and said slowly: "Here, five hundred thousand taels are military pay. The donation to your Highness is for the construction of the royal temple. Hou Ye, the military pay of those soldiers can also be compared with the royal temple of the saint?"
Fan Ziqi shook his body and said hurriedly, "Thank you, my lord, for your reminder!" He got up and left in a hurry. After a long time, Fan Ziqi went and returned, holding a black box in his hand and placed it on the case. Said: "Sir, this is two hundred and thirty thousand taels of silver bills, which are currently in the Fuzhong. Give me some more time. Within half a month, donate another three hundred and seventy thousand taels to the adults, at least sixty dollars. One hundred thousand taels, this is what I can do."
Shiqing Pei raised his hand and stroked the wooden box, thought for a moment, and said, "Six hundred thousand taels, although it is not too much, but your Highness has an explanation. Hou Ye, don't worry, I will try my best to help you with this matter. Okay, over there, your Highness, you have to rest assured, even if King Fenyang really wants to take the opportunity to make trouble, as long as there is His Highness, the Fan family will be safe and sound."
"Thank you, sir." Fan Ziqi took out a stack of silver bills from his sleeve again: "My lord, this is thirty thousand taels of silver bills. You will have to worry about many things later, and you must accept it."
"Master Hou, this can't be done." Pei Shiqing pushed over and said: "In this way, Master Hou regards me as a person who is greedy for money. Don't do it. I just do an errand for your Highness. The silver donated by Master Hou also hopes to be able to Spoil your wealth and eliminate calamities, and help Master Hou find a way to get out of trouble. You can take back this silver and you will never collect it."
"My lord, if you don't accept it, then you really don't look down on me." Fan Ziqi said: "I know that in Kyoto, you have to manage everything. With this amount of money, the magistrate is not enough to manage it. I You can't let you pay for me even if you are tired, you have to accept it anyway." It went straight into Shiqing Pei's hands.
Shiqing Pei said with a smile: "Master Hou has a lot of thoughts, if I don't accept it, your heart is not at ease. That's fine, I will accept it first." Putting away the thirty thousand taels of cash, he said, "Master Hou, don't worry. , Although I am in a humble position, but thanks to your highness, you can say a few words in front of the temple. Although you can put your heart in your stomach, no matter how many people want to embarrass you, your highness and I will try our best to protect it. In addition, if it is convenient for you, give me a list these two days. You have outstanding children in the Fan family. Although they are written in the list, Yuwen's family can only be a civilian after entering the customs, but the Fan family is just beginning. The children of the family are sent to Beijing as officials, and they can still rejuvenate their families."
Fan Ziqi handed his hand: "Everything has Master Lao Shiqing. By the way, I let people clean the yard in the mansion, and the adults live in the mansion."
"No need to." Pei Shiqing said: "I'll just go to the post house to stay. When you go out, keep everything simple, don't cause too much trouble for Master Hou. The day after tomorrow is the birthday of the old lady, you don't need to send someone to invite it. At that time I came to my door to ask for a glass of water and wine."
"Yes, Yao Duhu doesn't know if he will come to the banquet?"
"He has official duties in his hands. One day later than me, he can arrive tomorrow." Shiqing Pei said: "General Hei Yu has been in Fan County for ten days. I don't know where he is now?"
"After the general arrived, I wanted to host a banquet, but the general did not enter the city." Fan Ziqi said: "General Zhonglang has reorganized his troops and horses. I heard that the general is carrying his night crows and is surveying the terrain these days. , Very hard."
Shiqing Pei nodded and said: "The general is still dedicated to the country. The birthday of the old lady...?"
"The general has sent someone to reply, and he will definitely come to the banquet at that time." Fan Ziqi smiled and said: "I invited the general and his Ye Crow. The general has a generous temperament and promised to go to the banquet. He also wanted to see me off."
