Volume 2 The Wind Rises in Heikyo Chapter 119 The "Hereditary Replacement" of the Domestic Dog
The small courtyard in Kyoto, which has not been noticed for a long time, has a distinguished guest today, Li Jucheng pushed a fold to Shen Bancheng, the latter respectfully took it, opened it and looked at it carefully, his expression remained unchanged, and he said softly: "Even if there is no content in the fold, I can probably guess that although these methods are not visible, we must admit that even our Shen family does not dare to say that it is cleaner than the other party, and even in some things, it is too much." β
"It is indeed too much for a family to die for a hundred years by relying on this excerpt, compared to the Song family's contribution to the Northern Wei Dynasty, this stain can be completely ignored, but do you know? This excerpt came surprisingly easy, as if someone had already placed all the evidence of the Song family's guilt waiting for me to get it, and I didn't expect that Li Jucheng, who was the first of the Ming Dynasty, would also help others to do a short-term job. The old man was not embarrassed, but laughed to himself.
"It seems that our majesty and Grandpa Shoufu have become more and more tacit, which saves us a lot of trouble. Shen Bancheng scratched his head, there was less seven expensive, the pastries in the house had not been changed for a long time, and without the folk jujube cakes that he had forgotten to return, the old man could only swallow his saliva.
However, soon a new toy attracted the attention of the old man, looking at the words "long in the cage" on the wall, and secretly appreciating the charm.
Shen Bancheng was left talking to himself, putting away the folding, and then listing his various measures in the past few days, chattering like the old lady's footwrap was smelly and long.
"Okay, you don't have more than that, take something useful, the Song family's property in Kyoto, if you don't make some money now, it will be gone." The old man cleared his ears and said displeasedly.
Only then did Shen Bancheng take out a thick contract from his arms, and chuckled: "Hehe, I can only get a few properties due to time constraints, but it is enough for me to gain a firm foothold in Kyoto." β
"I'm not satisfied, I underestimate the appetite of your Shen family, those boys of the Song family are used to being arrogant in Kyoto on weekdays, and they are very arrogant, this time they are planted and bleeding. Li Jucheng said leisurely, having guessed where these contracts came from.
"There are no small means to cover up, the old man Song is afraid that he has noticed me a long time ago, the second young master is stupid and has a lot of money, and he thinks that his business acumen can become the pillar of the Song family's future, just show some benefits and ignore it, a few empty tickets will change a large house in the south of the city, and the third young master has five properties under his name, although he is stupid, he is an infatuated man, but unfortunately, if the fourth young master is not a good gambler, he should be the most promising one of the brothers to inherit the family business...... There are also two cloth villages and a rice shop of the little young master, and he can win thanks to me, this grandfather will not ask me for guilt!" Shen Bancheng listed the real estate title deeds, and said clearly from beginning to end.
Li Jucheng shook his head when he heard this, and sighed: "If it weren't for the son of the Shen family, you would have wanted to add some assets to you, it seems that I thought too much, it is enough to have these, but it is not good to have more, you should know that your grandfather is still looking for you." β
The other party was obviously reminding Shen Bancheng of something, and the latter was even brighter, and said with an obscure chuckle: "It's all our shopkeeper, I'm just a hard-working errand runner." β
"You know very well how much benefit you have gained, your Shen family is the best at acting, your grandfather deceived half of Moyang City like this back then, if his old boy dares to enter Kyoto before I die, I will have to beat him. Li Jucheng said excitedly, his breath was a little uncomfortable, and he coughed again and again.
Shen Bancheng hurriedly patted him on the back, and scolded with a smile of blame: "Bah, let's talk about something unlucky, Grandpa Shoufu still has decades to live, and when I go back to Moyang later, I will definitely let Grandpa come to Kyoto to take the blame." β
Li Jucheng, who came over comfortably, chuckled: "You kid has a sweet mouth, but you have to recognize it when you are old, and your grandfather has not been strict with you for a few years, why don't you see that he is attentive to your brothers, and he doesn't want to train you to be the head of the Shen family in the future, you! β
"Yes, yes, Grandpa Shoufu taught us. Shen Bancheng didn't dare to contradict it, and said again and again, in fact, he also knew it in his heart, but as Qigui said, there are some problems with the brains of these rich sons, don't sit back and enjoy their lives, but think about the hard work of starting from scratch, what is the picture, I can't tell the truth, that is, I want to prove something!
"Okay, it's time to go back, there is still a father-in-law in the house who has been waiting for a long time, and finally I will mention you again, whether it is for you or the entire Shen family, you have to grasp Su Wen well, not only because of Su Chengyun, I can feel that this young man is a great guy, but he can be close to each other, grasp the distance between this, and it will not be a problem for your Shen family to continue in Kyushu for a hundred years." Li Jucheng slowly stood up, and when he left, he caught a glimpse of the words on the wall, and said to himself, "Even if there is only the last sentence, I can still see the meaning of detachment and grandeur, and return to nature, sooner or later." β
After sending the other party away, Shen Bancheng felt much more relaxed, even if the two of them were more like grandchildren, but who could talk and laugh with this old man lightly, at least his own age was there, and he was still so many seniors as a piece of Li River, put away the contracts on the table, and sat peacefully in the center of the hall.
"The shopkeeper, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, it depends on whether you, the shareholder, are blown enough by the wind. β

The weather is getting colder and colder, and Chen Maoyu also moved from the study to the warm pavilion, not because he is too pampered, and he thinks about what kind of hardships he didn't suffer when he was a homeless person, but it is really the sick young man next to him who has to take care of him so carefully, and sometimes it makes Zhao Zhongming think that these two people are not standing on the wrong identity.
"With Cang and Huang Erzhou as the bottom, this time I want to see what the old ministers have to say. Chen Maoyu holds a bronze hand stove with glazed flowers on it and a charcoal fire in it, which is not only warm but also fragrant.
There is a famous craftsman Zhang Mingqi in the Northern Wei Dynasty, it is a generation of top masters of furnace making, his works are called "Zhang Lu", the pattern is fine, the copper is uniform, and it can be called the treasure in the handicrafts.
What is especially incredible is that even though the charcoal fire in the furnace is burning vigorously, it is not hot, and its heat is just right, which makes people feel more comfortable, which shows that it has reached its peak. So much so that Wu Daozi, the painter of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was greatly praised and invited Zhang Mingqi to make a furnace for him, so the reputation of "Zhang Lu" resounded throughout the north and south.
Zhou Budo still holds his white jade cigarette stick, but he rarely smokes it after winter, at most he just puts the tobacco leaves on the tip of his nose and sniffs lightly, and sits cross-legged on the carpet without rules at this moment.
"This is not what it used to be, no one dares to go against the general trend, Your Majesty may really want to do a feat that the ancestors of the past generations did not dare to do. β
Cangzhou out of a Changming cholera frontier, one hand to cover the sky, the Song family in Huangzhou is one hand to choke the lifeline of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the end is the power of the great power, no one can manage, the source of the power of a state is in the hands of a very small number of people, and who can guarantee that each is honest and honest, the ancestral system of Kyushu since the Yu Dynasty is like this, it is not easy to manage, there was a system of kings and feudals earlier, but the Zhou Dynasty and Western Chu were killed in the hands of these vassal kings, the Northern Wei Dynasty learned a lesson and only set up two princes, and they were all thrown to a state to check and balance each other.
But for a long time, it is still indispensable to Chang Ming, Li Zaixiao and other self-respecting feudal officials, if the two princes were not removed from military power by Li Jucheng and trapped in Kyoto, I am afraid that the Northern Wei Dynasty will repeat the mistakes of Western Chu, especially at this moment Chen Maoyu finally felt full of wings after enduring for more than ten years, and urgently needed to break the situation that had been consolidated at the moment, so as to place his henchmen everywhere.
The four states of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the eight political envoys, if they are divided into twelve states, are twenty-four, and there are more positions to check and balance each other, and the counties are in one point, and they have broken their own early connections, Li Zaixiao of Cangzhou, Li Zaixian and Li Zaide of Baizhou, Huai Wenyuan of Huangzhou, Song Jia, Chenzhou have long been snatched clean by Li Jucheng and Li Zaizhong from the hands of the two princes, this time Chen Maoyu wants to let these cards that have long been orderly be washed well.
"Your Majesty, the minister has the courage to say a word, how should the people of the Song family deal with it. Zhao Zhongming finally couldn't help muttering in his heart, and recalled the boy's voice and appearance when he said the words crossing the river and demolishing the bridge more than once.
As soon as these words came out, the warm pavilion with the ability to be as warm as spring suddenly became a lot colder, so that the veteran, who had been crawling and rolling in the blood for many years, couldn't help but tremble slightly, and the crisp sound of the armor collision echoed from time to time, Xu is sudden cold air made his brain sober up suddenly, and then he realized that he had done a superfluous or even stupid thing, and fell to his knees with a bang, his head buried deep in the ground, just kneeling like this, he didn't even dare to say a word of justification, just afraid of saying more and making more mistakes.
Finally, a light cough dispelled the coldness, Zhou Buyan shook the coat on his body and helped up the silent Zhao Zhongming and chuckled: "Commander Zhao, what's the matter, do you want to intercede for the Song family?"
"I don't dare to be humble, it's just that the Song family has worked hard for the Northern Wei Dynasty for many years, and there is no merit and hard work, and ......" Zhao Zhongming became more and more infarcted the more he spoke, and when he found that he was about to blurt out the truth if he continued to speak, he hurriedly closed his mouth, only to feel that he was holding his weak palms and quietly pinched himself, and looked up to see Zhou Budo making a silent action.
"The Song family has indeed run Huangzhou for His Majesty for many years, but the merit is merit, the fault is the fault, and it must not be mixed up, only Jiuwen County embezzled the fertile land by dirty means, harming 19 lives, and the old man Song is not enough for one life, but His Majesty is merciful, for the sake of the Song family's hard work, only Song Huai was killed, and the rest of the men were matched, the female dependents were not official, and all the family property was confiscated, what did Commander Zhao think. β
Before he was convicted of the world, Zhou Buyan's words made Zhao Zhongming's heart cold, the Song family was not for the Northern Wei Dynasty, but just for His Majesty, fortunately, the last sentence of Commander Zhao thought that what was the way for him to finally settle down, and hurriedly bowed to Chen Maoyu and said: "Your Majesty, this is the blessing of all the people." β
Chen Maoyu chuckled with satisfaction, slowly stepped forward and patted Zhao Zhongming's shoulder and said: "Zhong Ming, you have been by my side for many years, no more than those wild dogs, kill them, I still have affection for you, Song Xu has been in the Guozijian for two years, and he has also raised enough fire, let him go to the Imperial History Observatory tomorrow to appoint the Imperial History Officer, and I will need him more in the future." β
Zhao Zhongming didn't dare to speak, in other words, he was more affectionate than the wild dogs like the Song family, but such harsh words were more reassuring than too many reassuring voices, Zhao Songxu nominally went to the Yushitai as a spokesman, you must know that it will not be long before the name and surname will be changed there, so that the identity of their Zhao family's dog can be regarded as hereditary replacement, and this kind of death-free gold medal that others can't ask for is just like that, so it fell on his body, and under the ups and downs, he stood dumbfounded, and finally spit out a sentence after a long timeγ
"Thank you, Lord Ron. β
