Three anecdotes

Since Shang Chengbi openly recognized the money made by Cardinal Jin in the court, the Jin family money began to circulate in the world, and the common people called it Jintong money.Because of its good quality and sufficient weight, Jintong money quickly became popular in large quantities.In just two months, Daliang has seen this kind of money making everywhere.Also in the past two months, with the circulation of new coins and the soaring price of food, all banks, no matter how big or small, began to experience run problems.Food is expensive and money is cheap, and even when the epidemic was rampant in the previous period, the price of rice was not so high.All of a sudden, countless banks, large and small, collapsed, and only Tongda Bank of the Wei family and Yuanheng Bank, which directly belonged to Emperor Liang and Cardinal Jin, could barely support them.The hearts of the people in Jing'an City are fluctuating, and the soldiers and horses patrolling the city visit the blacksmith's shop three times a day.

Since Pei Yuan participated in Cardinal Jin's rebellion last time, he was only ordered to stay at home by Shang Chengbi, and his reputation became even bigger than ever.

Shang Chengbi accused Shang Conghuan of contempt for the power of the sky, had no eyes on the king, and openly clashed with the Luan guards. King Jingbian didn't even have time to make an indictment, and Shang Chengbi's imperial case was filled with the imperial censor's advice .These speech officials who are moved by the wind seem to be encouraged. Even a few grains of gold sand can be swept out of the corner of the Linyuan Palace. Privately opened a copper mine, from the two hundred princes' troops to Linyuan King's private military training, even the housekeeper accepted bribes and seized the people's farmland. Miss Yan's third daughter, the next book will say that he colluded with the rice merchant Yan Duo to drive up the price of rice.It seems that at this time, if you don't dare to participate in the Cardinal of Jin's book, you will be in vain.

As for Cardinal Jin, he was still practicing his soldiers in the school field.

However, the anger of the censors did not move Shang Chengbi in the slightest. Two months after the bullshit entered the sea, Shang Chengbi's first order was given to the emperor's uncle, Shang Hanhan, saying that he had no way to teach his son and ordered him to His father and son closed their doors and thought about their mistakes.He gave a bamboo stick, and even sent four eunuchs from the palace to help Uncle Wang admonish the son.

The father-in-law Liu Changshun who came to proclaim the decree handed the bamboo stick to King Jingbian himself, pointed at the four extremely domineering young eunuchs, and raised his eyebrows, "These four are all in charge of the supervisor of ceremonies. The prince has worked hard and made great achievements. Yan Ming, please do it yourself!"

As soon as this remark came out, Shang Quhan, who was so self-reliant, couldn't help but clenched his fists. It was his business to discipline his son. The family law should also be managed by Dazong Zhengsi. When the emperor can give a bamboo stick to teach the father to manage his son, people will watch him beat it.Not to mention that he is the king of Jingbian who holds military power and is famous all over the world, even if he is an idle clan, he is also Shang Chengbi's uncle.

Shang Quhan suppressed his anger, took the bamboo stick with both hands, and handed it to Chang Shi beside him, "Since it was bestowed by the Holy Majesty, let's confess it carefully."

Eunuch Shun has changed from Linyuan King's Li Palace, from the inner palace to the government and the public. Even his master Wang Chuanxi has been suppressed. Today, he came here under the pressure. He thought he could overwhelm the Juntian King with his holy order. How could he? Letting it go, he immediately flicked his fly whisk, "My lord, the emperor has orders, how dare a courtier disobey them!"

How could Shang Quhan pay attention to this eunuch who pretended to be a powerful eunuch, and only clasped his fists at the incense case that received the order, "The dog is favored by the first emperor, and the sage cares, so naturally I dare not be strict with discipline." After saying this, unexpectedly He didn't even take a look at the number one celebrity beside Emperor Tianzhao, and walked away, leaving only two words, "Send off!"

When Shang Quhan opened the door and entered, Shang Conghuan was writing "Jinci Inscription". He knew his father had arrived, but he still only quietly finished writing the last stroke before getting up to plead guilty.

Shang Quhan picked up his handwriting, read it carefully for a while, and put it back on the table.

Feng Xing was a little apprehensive, and stood with his hands down in respect, but Shang Quhan picked up the purple hair on his pen rest, and wrote it with a flick of a finger, but it was a sentence from the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, "Writings are eternal things, and the country is a piece of clothing."

Feng Xing looked at it carefully, thought for a while, then bowed and said, "Yes, Father, the child understands."

Shang Quhan smiled slightly, "The recent words have grown a lot."

Feng Xing was not indiscriminately humble, he just responded, "Yes."

Shang Quhan personally picked up his letter, knowing that although he was busy today, he never dared to slack off his reading, and asked a few random questions, and his son answered them one by one, and was very satisfied. Then he looked at his son, standing upright , the children of this age grow the fastest, they are taller, but they are also thinner. Thinking of the hard work he has done to serve him every day since his injury, his heart aches even more. read."

Feng Xing nodded, "Understood, Dad."

After he said this, he no longer mentioned the matter of learning, but instead ordered meals to be prepared. Shang Qu was very busy in the cold. When he was in the desert, his son was training in the military camp below. He was busy with military affairs, so he often had irregular meals and ate daily. But as long as the son is around, the daily dinner must be eaten together, and the taste of the son is always kept in mind. The desert is bitter and cold, and it is often difficult to eat green vegetables in winter. Now in the capital, everything is exhausting, but He didn't forget to tell Fengxing to eat more seasonal vegetables.From the beginning of the history of the palace, everyone knows that the prince loves the young prince very much, and the fresh melons and fruits have never been cut off.

Knowing that his father loves him dearly, Feng Xing served his father with a meal before saying, "Brother Lin and the others say that I have grown taller recently, not thin."

Shang Quhan personally handed him a piece of wide charred crispy, "Don't just eat vegetables, some food can build strength."

"Oh." Feng Xing took a bite, the bread is always crispy, he also likes to eat, took another bite, and said, "Little uncle loves this kind of fried fruit the most."

Shang Quhan took a sip of the soup before saying, "Xiao Ye practiced swords alone in the Shuai's mansion. I'm afraid even the sky in the Northwest has turned upside down at the moment. A few days ago, he wrote to me when he made a trip, saying that he can't be restrained anymore." Chengxing is Shang Quhan's lieutenant general.

Feng Xing thought of Big Brother Qian's mother-in-law's face, he was going to face his junior uncle, so he burst out laughing, and then he felt a little nervous, "It's hard for him to be alone with his high-spirited temperament."

Shang Quhan smiled, and took another chopstick of asparagus for his son, "I know you don't like this taste, so you shouldn't be too picky."

"Yes." Feng Xing ate obediently, and picked up another chopstick. Shang Quhan was satisfied, and said, "The weather is getting warmer and warmer, and I will want an ice bowl later, but there are bayberry from Yuyao, so I just want to eat more , Beware of fever."

"Yeah." Feng Xing has never met his mother, and he was raised by Shang Quhan since he was a child. He eats and eats everything meticulously. Although the upbringing is extremely strict, he cares about his relatives and cares more than ordinary mothers.Feng Xing happily agreed, and added, "The weather is getting warmer and warmer, and people's lives are getting easier."

Shang Quhan was silent, only concentrating on eating.

Feng Xing tentatively said, "Father, about the matter of Luan's guards, my son must have caused trouble for you."

Shang Qinhan had already finished his meal, and Feng Xing helped his father serve the soup, feeling a little anxious.

Shang Quhan's expression was indifferent, unable to distinguish between emotions and anger, "You made an apology when you came back that day, and I punished you for my father."

Feng Xing personally presented the soup to his father, but secretly he was stunned. On that day, he took Blast 28 and rode against the Luan guards in the street, and finally lost his grandfather's promise. I never thought about using this to make an article, but after all, I was forced by the situation, and I knew that I would be punished heavily when I came back.Unexpectedly, my father only punished me for practicing exercises.Today, Xiao Huangmen entered the gate of the mansion, the most popular rice paper in front of Emperor Tianzhao, his father set up an incense case, but he didn't let him out at all.He also understood all the things that followed, thinking that Emperor Tianzhao gave a bamboo stick in disregard of decency, he was ashamed and remorseful, but he didn't think his father would expose it lightly.In fact, he knew that according to his father's temper, if he got angry, practicing kung fu was nothing like punishment.Since there was no punishment, that is to say, the father thinks that he did nothing wrong?Thinking of this, Feng Xing didn't dare to think about it any further. You must know that it is wrong to speculate on one's own ideas, no matter whether you are a son or a minister.Simply put it down, and said in a low voice, "Dad, drink more."

Shang Quhan took the soup bowl, took a sip, and looked at him, "You drink too. When your second uncle comes back, let him take your pulse and cook some medicinal food to replenish your body."

Feng Xing promised, but he thought of the days when his father was injured, the second uncle never pretended to speak, and the papers from the king of Linyuan were flooded, and Cardinal Jin's heart was well known to passers-by. In a fight with him sooner or later, father will never lose, but when he wins, even if he does not kill him, I am afraid that the second uncle will not forgive father.

Chu Yiqing was treating Jin Cardinal's injuries, and while he was taking care of the injured Shang Quhan, Cardinal Jin's condition was also getting worse.People with injuries all over their bodies are sad in winter, sad in summer, and most sad at the turn of spring and summer.

One day Cardinal Jin got up very late, in order not to delay the martial arts performance in the school, he didn't make the bed, He Lianxi went to clean it by himself, but found a puddle of blood on the pillow.

He went to the city and hired two old doctors with gray hair and beards, and they tricked them with nice words, but Cardinal Jin didn't try to persuade him, even if he felt the pulse, the two old doctors looked very ill and shook their heads in silence.

He Lianxi held up the charcoal tongs and asked—yes, on a May day, Feng Xing was already greedy for the cold and wanted to eat ice bowls, and Cardinal Jin was still burning charcoal here, and the famous Linyuan King just smiled, "Let them go down the mountain , my brother said, there are still ten years to live."

The faces of the two old men were ashen, and they didn't even dare to agree with this sentence. He Lianxi held the charcoal tongs, and the pain was like frying his heart on the stove.

On that day, a letter was delivered, telling Chu Yiqing to come back. When Chu Yiqing came back, he didn't even get a pulse. He just glanced at Cardinal Jin's face and wrote the prescription.

He Lianxi forced Yunze to question, Yunze fanned the medicine stove for a long time before he said "Let's resign ourselves to fate".

He Lianxi copied the prescription again, and asked doctors everywhere in the street, everyone said that the heart and lungs were invaded, and the life expectancy was all in the sky, not in people.There was only a wandering doctor who said that it was all a heart disease and needed medicine for the heart. He Lianxi asked if the heart disease could be cured if something happened to his heart. people."

So Beidi's army arrived at the edge of the river overnight.

This time, the government and the public are boiling, and it is not only the censor who is arguing.

Shen Qixian bid farewell to Wei Jinleng.

"Wood, my brother called me back." Shen Qixian left the key on the case, "This is a tonic medicinal material, enough for next year, don't feel bad. Also, don't give it up anymore. It can be used normally Yes, I asked someone to buy some more, the ones in this room are only for you." These days, Wei Jin Leng gave out porridge and medicine, but he didn't even take much medicine.

Wei Jin Leng also knew that he was going to go back. Di Ren crossed the river. Seeing that there would be a battle between Daliang and Beidi, Emperor Xuan'an was naturally worried that his only younger brother was in Daliang.What's more, Shen Xiyun, an emperor with such a big heart, probably wants to reap the benefits of being a fisherman.

He stopped the abacus beads, bowed his head, "Okay." After saying a word, he seemed to feel a little too cold, thinking that Shen Qixian had been with him day and night for disaster relief and money management, and it was finally easy to get rid of the previous period. Jin Tongqian avoided the trend, and now he was leaving, thinking about preparing everything for him. After all, he was too indifferent, so he added, "Take care on the road."

Although he knew that he would not stay, Shen Qixian was very happy to hear that he could say this more, and immediately promised, "Don't worry, I will definitely persuade my brother. My brother has always been with the big brother." Brothers are good friends, he is not a person who takes advantage of others' danger, he will definitely not do things like taking advantage of the fire and looting, and make the people suffer. What's more, I am a great success and rich, and my emperor brother does not like to make great achievements, Daliang will never suffer from the enemy."

Wei Jin sneered, knowing about the war, not to mention that he is an idle prince, even Shen Xiyun may not be able to make the decision, but after hearing his assurance, he still felt warm in his chest, and said very sincerely, "If that's the case, I would like to thank you very much. The people of Daliang must not forget the benevolence of Emperor Xuan'an."

Wei Jin listened coldly to him being so solemn, and the usually thick-skinned person felt embarrassed, and said with a smile, "They're all from my own family, so why are you being so polite?"

Wei Jinleng nodded lightly, and asked him when he would go back. Shen Qixian wanted to say that he would leave today, but hearing the hint of reluctance in his words, he couldn't help saying, "Tomorrow." After talking about tomorrow, he regretted it again. "You need to settle accounts tomorrow, so you don't have to send me."

Shen Qixian nodded, and was about to say something, but another waiter said that Mr. Wei was in a hurry to tell him to go back. He thought it was because of Beidi's invasion of the army. This shrewd old man saw business opportunities again, so Shen Qixian didn't bother. Pack your bags yourself.

That night, Wei Jinleng was at the Wei family's main house, and Shen Qixian was not a child, so he knew that he was busy, so he immediately left a book for himself, but he didn't want to go to the gate of the city, Wei Jinleng unexpectedly came out.He had never rode a horse in the street in his life, and even today, he still took a detour. When Shen Qixian saw him at the gate of the city, his face was covered with dust, and his clothes were still the same as yesterday, he couldn't help feeling warm.

Wei Jin Leng still had a serious face, like a piece of stone cake, standing there straight, Shen Xi was about to say a few words, but he took out a large snack wrapped in oil paper from his chest, "Mi Roasted seeds and nuts from home, eat less on the way, and be careful not to get angry."

After saying this, the stone-cake-like face seemed to turn red suddenly, without waiting for Shen Qi to return to him, he turned around and strode away.His horse followed behind him, step by step, as steady as his master.

Shen Qixian opened the oiled paper bag, inside there were fragrant peanuts, sunflower seeds, and sugar-fried chestnuts, all of which he liked to eat, and even in another small bag, there were cooking cakes and beef. The cakes and meat were all hot. Just went to buy it early in the morning.The roasted seeds and nuts didn't open so early, it seemed that they were ready last night, Shen Qixian picked up the oiled paper again, and got into the carriage happily, but he didn't know that as soon as he got out of the city gate, there would be two worlds from then on.

"Your Majesty, Di Kou stationed troops at Dasan Pass, Chen Shi Jiangbei, and the war is about to break out."

Shang Chengbi was silent.

"Your Majesty, according to reports from the spies, He Lianxi, the wolf lord of Beidi, is currently hiding in the Linyuan palace, and he is openly coming and going with the rebel Cardinal Jin. Please send troops to seal the palace immediately, and capture the king first."

Shang Chengbi remained calm.

"Your Majesty, the enemy has arrived, but Prince Jingbian and his son are still trapped in the city. Please, Your Majesty, please lead the army to fight against the enemy."

Shang Chengbi sneered.

"Your Majesty, the country is the most important thing, and the personal relationship of children is the least! Enemies are coming at the door, brothers are fighting against each other, and you can't even believe in a male favorite. Don't you believe in your own uncle who was once inferior to you!"

"Crack!" With a loud sound, Shang Chengbi jumped up against the case, the speaker shrank his head, and the civil and military officials of the court shouted loudly, "Think twice, Your Majesty!"

Shang Chengbi stood upright, looking down at the officials, "King Linyuan will never betray me, I know better than you! I know!"

Before the words were finished, the battle report from the front came rushing in. The messenger's face was covered with scabs, and his voice was hoarse, "On the night of the [-]th, He Lianxi ordered to cross the river. Fifty thousand troops came with a leak. Master Liu was defended and lost, and Chengqing fell. , Huaizhou and Suzhou are also lost."

Shang Chengbi clenched his fists tightly, and immediately heard another report, Xiao Huangmen rushed in, "Your Majesty, the Linyuan Palace suddenly took off the plaque this morning, and the people of the Hefu went to Loukong, and the golden seal of Linyuan King is here On the eaves of the corridor and in front of the door hang the Great Chu flag, Cardinal Jin, reversed!"
