Chapter 44 Chapter 44: A Thunderbolt

Zhao Pu asked Chu Zhaofu to wait for two days, but within two hours, Chu Zhaofu came back.Zhao Pu welcomed him into the door and took a look. After only a short while, Chu Zhaofu actually got angry. But he really can't do anything about this matter, and he can't immediately throw out his plan of blaming Jiangdong, otherwise, no matter whether it is the official's place or Chu Zhaofu's here, it will seem too insincere. Two days later, Zhao Pu hardened his heart to comfort him, and sent him back. When Chu Zhaofu arrived at the prime minister's mansion, he saw that he was sitting in the hall drinking tea with many people to discuss the matter. There were also several maps of water and land transportation on the case. Zhao Pu was really interested, but it was inconvenient to urge him again, so he had to go back in dismay, hoping that Zhao Pu could come up with an idea as soon as possible.

This night, Zhao Guangyi held a large banquet in the "Taihe Building". The guests included many senior officials from Yushitai, the Imperial Army, and Nanya. There was only one reason. The fire in Yushitai was extinguished as soon as it was discovered. As a result of the joint efforts of the staff and departments, it turned out that the establishment of fire patrol shops, fire watch towers, and the establishment of a dedicated firefighting team are effective fire prevention measures that can control the fire to the greatest extent. Yushitai is an important place in the country, and there are many important documents and materials. This time, the rescue of various offices and offices was timely, the loss was minimized, and the fire was prevented from spreading to the palace. This is a great achievement. Of course, the personnel should be commended. He is the highest officer of Kaifeng's public security and has received the holy will. It is only natural that he came forward to hold this commendation meeting.

As the dean of Huoqing, Yang Hao was naturally invited. Before the time came, many officials showed up one after another. When Yang Hao arrived at the "Taihe Building", many officials had already arrived, and they were there in small groups Chatting, as for the senior officials of Yushitai and the Forbidden Army, they have not yet arrived. Yang Hao, as one of the envoys of the four courts of the Southern Yamen, was originally a high-ranking official, but since the establishment of the "Huoqingyuan", he spent most of his time outside, and went to "Ruxuefang" to take care of private affairs after finishing his business. He didn't have much contact with other officials, and he didn't have many acquaintances, so when he arrived at the "Taihe Building", he looked around and saw that the officials were all in casual clothes, chatting in small groups, so he wanted to find a place with few people Go sit down first.

With a casual sweep, his eyes stopped on a person, that person was too tall, standing out from the crowd like a chicken, a head taller, this person was wearing a decent Taoist uniform, with a purple scarf wrapped around his hair, Only that obscene smile remained the same, and it was Tang Wei, the third young master of the Tang family. "Tang Wei is here!" Yang Hao was both surprised and delighted. The Tang family is moving to Kaifeng. Yang Hao has heard about this for a long time, but such a big family wants to move, it is not just a burden, and it has been going on until today. , I don't know how the Tang family's relocation event is going. The matter between Yang Hao and Tang Yanyan has not been reported to the Tang family's seniors, nor have they visited.

Seeing Tang Sanshao at this time, Yang Hao subconsciously wanted to go forward, the old man should have had a chat, and besides, he just wanted to use this to reveal what he meant so that Tang Wei would be mentally prepared He knew that although the Tang family had three brothers, the third one was mainly in charge of the family. But when he turned his eyes, he saw a few people standing around Tang Wei talking and laughing happily with him, Yang Hao couldn't help hesitating. In addition, there is another meritorious service officer, that is, Cheng Dexuan. These people usually walked around recently, and they were all on good terms with Cheng Dexuan. Seeing that they were chatting happily with Tang Wei, Yang Hao wanted to wait for a while. Tang Wei was chatting with Cheng Dexuan and others with a smile, and glanced at the entrance of the building, suddenly startled Suddenly, he also saw Yang Hao.

Tang Wei bowed his head and said a few words to Cheng Dexuan and the others, cupped his hands, and left the crowd to walk towards Yang Hao. "Brother Yang, you and I are really destined. After parting from Fuzhou, we meet again in Bianliang today." "Third son," Yang Hao smiled and cupped his hands. This is his future third uncle. Seeing that Tang San'er, who was dressed like a madman from Han and Jin Dynasties in Fuzhou, is now dressed in a serious manner, Yang Hao dare not lack in etiquette. Busily saluted and said with a smile: "Yes, Yang and the third son are really destined. I heard that the third son is moving to the capital, but I have never had the chance to meet, but unexpectedly we meet here."

The two bowed to the side, found an empty seat to sit down, Tang Wei smiled and said: "Yes, Tang Wei also knows that the Lord has arrived in the capital, but the past few months have been really busy. On the one hand, he chose a place to build a house and settled his family. On the one hand, I have to communicate with officials and merchants from all over the world, discuss business, and I am very busy. I have just been free for the past few days, and I just want to choose an opportunity to pay a visit to your lord's house, and I don't want to meet here tonight." Yang Hao said: "Kaifeng Mansion is a prosperous place in the world, and there are a lot of profitable businesses, but it is not easy for a wealthy gentry like the Tang family to find a suitable job. Do you have any eyebrows?"

Tang Wei laughed, glanced at Yang Hao and said, "Yes, the Tang family has a big business, and some small businesses are of no benefit to my Tang family. However, fortunately, with the help of Mr. Fu Yin, the Tang family has already settled in Kaifeng Oh, these days, Tang has been running around in the south, and now he just returned to the capital." He smiled slightly, and said again: "With the help of Mr. Fu Yin, the Tang family has already contracted a big business: shipbuilding. You also know that water transportation is a top priority for the imperial court. We need all kinds of ships for river transportation and river transportation in Song Dynasty. One is because the ships are old, and the other is because of overturning and damage, the supply of new ships is in short supply. After taking over this business, with the care of Mr. Fu Yin, my Tang family will become the first shipbuilding company in the Song Dynasty in a short time."

He looked around, and couldn't help leaning forward to show off: "To tell the truth, my lord, the biggest business my Tang family took over was to build warships for the imperial court. Next month, I will hire a large number of Hercules craftsmen to dig ditches. The water from the Jin River flows into the small West Lake outside the Xinzheng Gate in the west of the city, creating a large water area. The warships that will be supervised will be transported there in the future, and the imperial court will train the navy there. Hehe..." Yang Hao was moved. This is really a big event. The Song Dynasty wants to train the navy, and the only goal is the Southern Tang. It seems that the officials can't wait. As long as the Southern Han Dynasty is destroyed, he will immediately plan to destroy the Tang Dynasty. The battle is over.The trend of unification is unstoppable. I wonder if the tragedy of Li Yu and Xiao Zhou will remain the same?

Thinking of this, he smiled in his heart: "Of course it is still the same. There is an extra you in this world for no reason. Maybe in the future there will only be an anecdote about Kaifeng's forced demolition of Yang in the notes of the Song Dynasty. It is mentioned in the novels of the Song and Ming Dynasties. You built this 'Thousand Gold Smile Building', other than that, what else can you influence?" He secretly analyzed the court's intentions, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, brother Tang has met a nobleman, as long as he maintains it well and can always get the help of the governor, the Tang family will not fall down in Kaifeng."

Tang Wei laughed loudly and said, "This noble man will spare no effort to help my Tang family." "Oh?" Yang Hao's eyes flashed. Could it be that Zhao Guangyi received a big gift from the Tang family?I don't remember that Zhao Guangyi loves money so much. His plans are very big. If he thinks about it... he still has more purposes to win over this big chaebol and strengthen his own strength. Tang Wei smiled lightly and said: "To tell you the truth, my lord, the Tang family has already married Mr. Fu Yin, and my younger sister has already married Mr. Fu Yin. Mr. Fu Yin will be the son-in-law of my Tang family in the future. How can I not take good care of my Tang family?" in every possible way?" "What?" Yang Hao's face turned pale immediately: "Lingmei... Lingmei..., how many younger sisters does Brother Tang have?" "Tang has only one younger sister. Speaking of which, with the influence of my Tang family, it is disgraceful for a daughter to marry someone as a concubine, but Mr. Fu Yin is different. He is the younger brother of the current emperor and will definitely be the king in the future. At that time, sister She will be Wang Jiaqian's side concubine, and this status is not a wrong to her." Yang Hao couldn't hold back anymore, and said in a deep voice, "Sister Ling...do you agree?" Tang Wei laughed and said: "The lifelong affairs of my daughter's family are about the fate of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. How can she let her decide by herself? That's too inappropriate. The elders of my Tang family have already decided on this matter. Then it cannot be changed.” He glanced at Yang Hao meaningfully, and said indifferently: "Without the support of a powerful person, a wealthy family will find it difficult to gain a foothold no matter where we are. For the survival and development of the family, the men of our gentry family, Fighting and fighting outside, the women are well-clothed and well-fed, and the embroidered houses are rich, can they do anything? Marrying into a wealthy family will make the two families rely on each other, this is their only responsibility, and they must fulfill their obligations." These words were ruthless, Yang Hao was startled, and subconsciously wanted to refute, but women have always had such a fate, and even many rich and powerful children in modern times could not escape such an ending, let alone at that time.Zhao Xianggong and Privy Envoy Li Chongju were extremely human ministers at that time, and their children had never had the freedom to choose a lifelong partner, and they were ordered by their parents to marry obediently.Even if she is a princess of a country, the proud daughter of heaven, she can't help herself in matters of marriage. Tang Wei picked up a cup of tea, and said with his lips: "There is only one daughter in the Tang family now, who has always been loved by the elders. If she is really wronged, our Tang family will not do something like using our daughter to cling to the powerful for life. But Nan Ya Fu Yin is a hero of the day, and he is the person my younger sister admires. Moreover, Fu Yin is in his prime, so how can she be dissatisfied if he can rely on him like this?" After drinking a cup of tea slowly, Tang Wei raised his eyes and said in a majestic manner: "Besides, Mr. Fu Yin has already agreed to this matter. Can my Tang family turn back? My sister will not be unaware of the pros and cons. Heh hehe……" During the banquet, Yang Hao was very drunk, and he really didn't have much hope for Tang Yanyan's affairs.The huge influence of the family determines a person's fate and future to a large extent.Can Tang Yanyan get rid of the shackles of the family?Besides, Zhao Guangyi has already agreed, with his powerful position, how dare the Tang family backtrack?How could Tang Yanyan ignore his father and brother? Yang Hao had a bad impression of Zhao Guangyi in his heart. Mrs. Huarui and Empress Xiao Zhou were all the women that Zhao Guangyi coveted successively. When he was the empress of the emperor, he took over the wife of the king without regard for dignity and sent them to his door for no reason. How can I not want a beauty?Besides, he was recruiting soldiers and recruiting confidants widely. The Tang family relied on him to continue to be rich and prosperous. He also needed the huge wealth of the Tang family to help him.This kind of combination is exactly what they need. At this time, what else can Yang Hao do?He knows the trend of the general trend of history, and this has just become a fetter in his heart. What strength does he have to resist the inevitable general trend? "Hahaha, Dean Yang is resourceful and resourceful. With this ingenious strategy, the fire hazard in Kaifeng has been greatly reduced. This is a great achievement. Come, come, I will respect Dean Yang." Zhao Guangyi smiled happily and raised his glass. Everyone responded one after another, Yang Hao stood up drunk, and suddenly had a thought in his heart: "I can't resist, I have to resist! If I can only exchange my beloved woman's hands for a lifetime of wealth, I would rather die! As long as Yan Yan is willing to live and die with me, then I will give up this official position and go to the end of the world with her! If you, Zhao Guangyi, can shamelessly make a big show, then come and hunt me down!" As soon as Yang Hao gritted his teeth, he drank the full glass of wine in one gulp, and there was a burst of warm applause in the hall.
"Master never gets drunk, why did he drink so much tonight?" Mu Yike complained, pouted. She and Miao Miao struggled to help Yang Hao enter the door, but when he crossed the threshold, Yang Hao couldn't even lift his legs, and the weight of his whole body was on the two little girls. The weather was so hot that they entered Yang Hao's bedroom. Where they lived, the two girls were already dripping with sweat. Miaomiao is now his own, but for the time being she doesn't have her own house to live in and serve her servants. Yang Hao knew that it would be a bit embarrassing to stay in "Ruxuefang" in her current capacity, so he took her to the Come home. The two put Yang Hao on the bed, and Yang Hao lay down on the couch, his mouth was full of alcohol, and his eyes were dim. Muyike and Miaomiao took off his boots and cloth socks, each with one foot. When they reached out to touch Yang Hao's belt, Miaomiao's face was slightly dizzy, and she stopped her hands in embarrassment. She often undresses girls' clothes, but men's clothes... This is the first time she has broken through, so she is inevitably shy. Mu Yike, on the other hand, was generous, and undressed him as soon as he stepped forward.When Miaomiao saw her, she turned red and stepped forward. The two girls took a lot of effort to take off the coat of Yang Hao who was paralyzed on the bed, and let him lie on the couch with only his little clothes on. Ke hugged Yang Hao's head and asked Miaomiao to put a big pillow for him, panting and said: "There is sour plum soup brewed in well water at home, I'll get a bowl to sober you up." "Oh, good!" Miao Miao responded, seeing Mu Yike turned and left, hurriedly went to the wall to moisten a towel, and hurried back to wipe Yang Hao's head carefully. "Yan... Yanyan..." Yang Hao called out vaguely, and grabbed Miaomiao's catkin. His voice was indistinct, and Miaomiao was originally worried when he wiped her head, face and neck. She couldn't hear clearly when she was in a trance, but when he was calling to herself, she quickly responded: "Miaomiao... Miaomiao is here, sir. ... What is the master's order?" "I...I really...like you, she...she left me, she...also left me, don't leave me, don't...leave, I...I want you... Stay with me for the rest of my life, okay?" "Ah?" Miaomiao's face was as bright as a pomegranate, and she was dumbfounded.
