Longevity: I am in the quiet garden, the sun and the moon

"Your Majesty, please see me in Xiliang!"

"Lead him to the living room."

The maid reported outside the door, and Xing Bang said impatiently, why is this damn Xiliang Hou so ignorant of the rules.

Didn’t know it was lunch break?

……

An hour later, Xing Bang slowly arrived at the living room.

Xiliang Hou Yu Shinan also waited for a full hour.

"I have seen the lord!"

As soon as Xing Bang entered the door, Yu Shinan quickly stood up.

"Oh, I, the king, have been delayed on something, keeping the Marquis waiting for a long time."

"How dare you, how dare you, Your Majesty, you are busy with everything, but the humble minister is a little abrupt."

As he spoke, Xing Bang waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, Lord Marquis. Sit down and talk."

"Thank you, Lord!"

Yu Shinan bowed and sat down, and Xing Bang also sat on the upper seat.

"Master Hou is here, but what's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, it's like this. I am about to leave the capital and return to Xiliang. I came here to say goodbye to Your Majesty."

Yu Shinan replied.

Xing Bang nodded, "The Marquis is interested, so I wish you a safe journey!"

As for the scene, I knew that it would not be just a trivial matter for him in Xilianghou.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

Saying that, Yu Shinan took out a banknote from his sleeve.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the disaster in Yuzhou triggered civil unrest, and I have been having trouble sleeping and eating these past two days."

"However, I am only anxious, and I cannot help the prince to worry about it. After much thought, I can only do my best."

"I also hope that the prince will take this humble minister's heart into consideration first, in order to save all the people from the fire and water."

While talking, Yu Shinan placed the banknotes on the table in front of Xing Bang.

200 taels!

Xing Bang glanced at it and saw that the amount was really not small, but he also knew very well that for the princes of Yu Shinan's side, this amount of money was just a drop in the bucket.

Ten million taels can be easily taken out.

To put it bluntly, these 200 taels are just for Xing Bang's pocket money because he is worried about the country and the people.

As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person. Yu Shinan knew very well that the two of them didn't have much friendship before.

It was just a pretext to say farewell, and it was true that he wanted to take 200 million taels as a stepping stone.

Also, Xing Bang can already guess that when he gets married, the gifts from Xilianghou will definitely exceed this amount.

Not only that, in addition to the dignitaries in Beijing, the congratulatory gifts from local officials are definitely a large amount.

All comers are welcome!

Xing Bang had already planned it, and it was all the exploited people’s money anyway.

"The Marquis is really concerned about the country and the people. I admire him!"

Xing Bang would not shirk the blame at all, he would just accept the 200 million taels.

Make bricks without straw!

Without money, no matter how powerful an individual is, he cannot do it.

"It should be, it should be."

Yu Shinan was overjoyed. As long as he didn't slap himself in the face, that would be the best start.

In fact, what he didn't know was that it was only a matter of Xing Bang's word that Yu You'er could enter the palace as Empress Xiao's goddaughter.

Two million taels will definitely not be wasted.

However, Xing Bang didn't intend to let Yu Shinan know about this matter, it was completely unnecessary.

"By the way, Marquis Yu, I heard that your youngest son has not served in the army, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the dog is useless and makes Your Majesty laugh."

Yu Shinan was shocked and a little confused. How could his son not be aware that he was causing trouble everywhere in the capital these days, and he was just like a son of a noble family?

Why did you mention him so well?

It won’t be that I caused trouble in Fireworks Alley yesterday and I stepped in to sort it out...

Is this a warning to yourself?

Although it's just a small thing, if you want to reflect yourself, it's a big deal.

Yu Shinan felt a little frightened when she thought about it.

Xing Bang knew clearly, but when he saw Yu Shinan's expression, he wanted to laugh, thinking that the old guy was overthinking.

Yes!

There's nothing wrong with being surrounded by enemies.

However, Xing Bang obviously did not have this intention. After thinking about it, he still had to give this Xiliang Hou a little sweetness. After all, the Xiliang Army is also a force that cannot be ignored.

"If the prince is at ease, let your second son stay in the capital. It is the time for the court to employ people. If you give him some practical experience first, he will definitely be a good general."

"The king sees it, let's go to the Ministry of War first."

Yu Shinan was overjoyed. It turned out to be a surprise. He had overthought it.

"Thank you, my lord!"

"Your Majesty's kindness will always be remembered in my heart."

Xing Bang paused slightly and waved his hand, "Okay, Yu Hou, there's no need to be polite. One family doesn't speak the same language."

He could tell that Xiliang Hou really had nothing to do and was just here to show his good will.

However, Xing Bang knew it well, and if he didn't say it today, he would talk about it later.

Because Xiliang Hou brought [-] Xiliang troops to suppress the rebellion, it can be said that they were completely exhausted.

Recruiting soldiers is not difficult, the key is money...

To put it bluntly, it means asking the court to provide money to support the army.

Having said that, if Xilianghou talks about this matter today, Xing Bang will be right, it is inevitable.

Drink the soldiers' blood and eat the empty quota...

For these princes, they can deceive the imperial court as much as they can, but they cannot completely eliminate it. It is just a matter of degree of restraint.

However, Xing Bang chose to turn a blind eye for the time being.

Next, there was nothing more to say, and Yu Shinan left with satisfaction.

Of course, Xing Bang also had some intentions in using Xilianghou's second son, and it was not just as simple as showing kindness.

Moreover, the Marquis of Xiliang would not think much about it, because his title was inherited by his eldest son.
