Xiao Meiniang sighed: "You are really ruthless, these days the wicked people who have been killed have been scattered, I don't know how many people will be unlucky." ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "At most, they are the kings of the mountains and become thieves, and they can't become a big thing, but you Xiao Meiniang, put your eldest nephew in Jingxiang, I heard that he has been secretly recruiting troops and horses in the past two years, gathering the old department, and has become the behind-the-scenes master of the Jingxiang region, your aunt, but spare no effort." ”

Xiao Meiniang's willow eyebrows raised slightly: "Wang Shichong, you and I have words first, and we will develop separately, you can't make a move on Milling Er, and it will hurt my Xiao Liang's restoration of the country!" ”

Wang Shichong smiled: "I'm going to make a move early, will I tell you?" It's just that I advise you, remind your eldest nephew, take it easy, don't be too anxious, recently he brought the original He Ruobi's subordinate Shen Liusheng under his command, which is equivalent to pulling a lot of money, and it can be regarded as taking over the inheritance of He Ruo's family, you beware that this kid has money and connections, and will throw away you, who is an aunt. ”

Xiao Meiniang gritted her teeth and said coldly: "He doesn't have the ability, nor does he have the ability, the Xiao family, or our authentic descendant has the final say, if I want him to be unable to get up, I can do it at any time." ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "Meiniang, you are still too confident, Xiao Milling is by no means as deferential as you imagined, your Xiao clan has been away from Jingzhou for too long, although you have the support of money and grain, but after all, it is not as good as Xiao Milling He stayed in Jingzhou in person, Lei Shimeng, Dong Jingsheng These people have completely fallen to him, and you can also make Xiao Mill obedient by controlling the economic source before." But now Shen Liusheng, a giant businessman in the south, has thrown himself into him. He is no longer short of money. In the past six months, Xiao Mo has made public appearances in Jingzhou, wantonly seeking talents to visit friends, and talents in Jingzhou, such as Cen Wenwen and others, have been invited to become his guests, did he also tell you about these things? ”

Xiao Meiniang's face changed: "What, he's openly recruiting people now?" Who is that Cen text? ”

Wang Shichong nodded, and said with a straight face: "The Cen family is in Jingzhou, and it can be regarded as a famous family. Cen Wenwen's grandfather, Cen Shanfang, is a famous man in Jingzhou, once served Xiao Mill's grandfather Xiao Cha, the official to the Ministry of Shangshu, and Cen Wenwen's father Cen Zhixiang, Shi Sui for Handan Ling, was framed in office, and the grievances could not be redressed, Cen Wenwen was two years ago, but he was only fourteen years old. It is already a thorough reading of the scriptures and history, and the scientific name is all over Jingxiang. He personally came to Luoyang's subordinate supervision department to defend his father's grievances. ”

Xiao Meiniang said curiously: "A fourteen-year-old child can also redress his father's grievances? ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "Yes, this son set off from Jiangling in Jingzhou, walked thousands of miles away, and came to Luoyang alone, when I happened to go to the Yushitai to have a piece of official business to deal with, I saw the process of this son's defense, that day happened to be the imperial historian Pei Yun was present, after seeing this Cen text, he immediately asked him to make a lotus fu, in order to try his literary talent, but this son only walked around twice outside the door, that is, the next pen was written, in one go, the article was extremely good, even if it was a great literati Pei Yun, it was also praised when he saw it, immediately ordered to reopen his father's case, and finally returned his father's innocence. ”

Xiao Meiniang smiled slightly: "There is such a powerful young man, how did Mill recruit him?" ”

Wang Shichong sneered: "It's not because the Cen Wenwen family has been loyal to Xiao Liang for generations, with the shrewdness of Cen Wenwen, he has long seen that the world of the Sui Dynasty will be chaotic, and Xiao Miao, the descendant of the Xiao family, is menacing in Jingxiang, the place where the Xiao family started, and it is definitely not a thing in the pool, plus the Cen family was a county commander in the Sui Dynasty and had to be framed, and I also understood that with the status of their family, it is very difficult to turn over in the Sui Dynasty. ”

The corners of Xiao Meiniang's mouth hooked: "But now Yang Guang reuses Jiangnan literati, Yu Shiji, Pei Yun, aren't these people all promoted under him?" This Cen text can't see this layer? ”

Wang Shichong smiled and waved his hand: "The beautiful girl doesn't know, Yu Shiji and them, they have no foundation, they are completely promoted by greeting Yang Guang, and they are fortunate to be close to the villain. Yang Guang still likes talented literati in his bones, so he likes them so much. ”

"However, the more people who are so high-level, the more they are afraid that others will also rely on the same method to seize their positions, Yang Guang uses them, one is to use their literary talents, the other is to use their sycophants, and thirdly, he also takes a fancy to these literati from Jiangnan, who have no foundation at all, so that they will not be like the big families in the north, where their sons, nephews, relatives and friends are all over the court, and they will not fall off."

"So that Pei Yun is full of praise for Cen Wenwen on the surface, but he is also jealous of his talent in his heart, such a fourteen-year-old boy has such literary talent, if this matter reaches Yang Guang's ears and recruits him into the court, it may shake his status, so the case is investigated to the end, and it is only for Cen Zhixiang to be calmed down, and he is not even reinstated as an official, let alone promoted this Cen Wenwen."

Xiao Meiniang said with a smile: "In this way, it is still Pei Yun's credit that Milling can get Cen Wen." Hee-hee. ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "Actually, when I look at Cen texts, I have the ability to adapt to emergencies, and I am definitely not a literati who can only read dead books, but I really want to take them under my command, but unfortunately the Cen family's mind is completely on Xiao Miao, and they have no interest in my solicitation." ”

Xiao Meiniang smiled and tightened her belt for Wang Shichong: "So, are you jealous of my family?" ”

The corners of Wang Shichong's mouth hooked, and he said in a deep voice: "Xiao Miao's subordinates must always have their own set of teams, and they must also have some capable talents, a Cen Wenwen, but a sixteen or seventeen-year-old child, even if he is talented and filial, after all, he still lacks experience, although I can't ask for him, but I can't say jealousy." It's just that Xiao Mo is too ostentatious now, this is not good for our trouble, don't think that Yang Guangren is in Liaodong, so he really doesn't care about domestic affairs, if you have a chance, you have to persuade him well, knock him up, don't really let this good nephew throw away your aunt. If it weren't for your face, I could have killed Xiao Mo at any time, and it would be the same in the future. ”

Xiao Meiniang straightened up with a smile: "The concubine obeys the order." My Holy One, are you leaving? ”

Wang Shichong nodded, and strode towards the door: "Let's stop here today, I still have to meet a few old friends, if I have time, I will contact you." (To be continued.) )
