Chapter 725 The King Meets the King in the W-Zijuan (Part 1)
Daishan and his party left in dismay.
They don’t want to be targeted by the Dragon Guard.
Fortunately, although the Great Zhou Dynasty Long Jinwei was pervasive, many of them had been reduced to perfunctory Ying Mao.
As long as there is an explanation for the petition and it can be fooled, then it will not be a problem. Otherwise, important figures like Yang Kedong could meet with foreign leaders from Liaodong so easily. This was not possible decades ago when the Zhou Dynasty was first established. , simply unimaginable.
This also added to the confidence of Daishan and his team. Although Da Zhou was still arrogant externally, he was already exhausted and weak internally. The operation of their internal organization was completely a kind of inertia and formality. Just from today's relationship with the Southwest Chieftain You can get a glimpse of it when you meet.
Such an old dynasty should be an opportunity for the Jurchens. Thinking of this, Daishan and his party couldn't help but get excited.
However, Daishan and Netu have already made it clear that this group of southwestern chieftains in Bozhou are definitely unwilling to stay dormant. They definitely have some ideas and plans. This is their biggest gain from this meeting.
Yang Kedong acted very cautiously, seemingly leaking nothing, but the more cautious he was, the more serious his plan was.
The other party did not even agree, but in fact it left endless room for cooperation. We can talk about anything. Maybe it will be a continuous process in terms of time, but for the Jianzhou Jurchens, this is exactly the best thing.
Daishan knew very well that the contest with Dazhou had just begun, not even the beginning, it was just a preliminary preparation process. This would be a process that would last ten or twenty years, but Jianzhou Jurchen had the patience and energy to do so. , As long as they continue to bite, it will be difficult for the Great Zhou Dynasty to persist in Liaodong. Their only solution is to retreat to the pass. Everything outside the border wall should belong to the Jurchens and Mongolia surrendered to the Jurchens.
As long as the forces that can cause trouble to the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Jianzhou Jurchens will not hesitate to contact them. Just like what Netu said, if there are dates and no dates, it will take a hit. Now it seems that when this stick is struck, although the other party does not respond clearly, But the meaning revealed is profound.
The other party also wants to see what's going on with the Jianzhou Jurchens. Only if the Jianzhou Jurchens show greater strength and pose a greater threat to the Great Zhou Dynasty, perhaps this group of southwestern chieftains will be willing to cooperate with the Jianzhou Jurchens.
Returning to Santiao Hutong, Daishan said unceremoniously: "Netu, you have to hurry up and contact Bozhou, but I can't wait any longer. I have my father's instructions. Just talk, and you can agree to any request first. .”
Netu nodded.
"In addition, we can't just limit ourselves to this group of southwest chieftains. They are too far away from us after all. Even if there is an uprising, I don't think it will spread to the north in a short time, so we have to look for other opportunities." Daishan was already at this time Showing determination, "The newly appointed governor of Jiliao in the Great Zhou Dynasty is constantly causing trouble for us. Shuerhaqi, the Horqin people, the Yehe tribe and the Ula tribe. This guy is simply pervasive, some are obvious, and some are It happened secretly and made Dahan very anxious, so we must retaliate."
“Second Master, do you mean the White Lotus Sect?” Netu immediately understood what Daishan meant, “Is there a time range?”
Daishan pondered for a while, "The matter of the Ula tribe cannot be delayed for too long. If Bu Zhantai and the others are allowed to catch their breath, it will be difficult to capture the Ula tribe again. I am a little worried. Da Zhou seems to be starting to change. The Great Khan is also aware of some of the practices of the Li Chengliang era. He has once again sent people to marry the Horqin tribe and put pressure on the Chahar people to see if it can be effective, but you must also take some action. , The Southwest Chieftain may not be able to use it in a short time, so the White Lotus Sect should be the most suitable."
Netu nodded silently, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Second Master, we have only gradually come into contact with the White Lotus Sect in the past few years, but this group of people is too scattered. Each prefecture and county has its own system, and it is difficult to connect them together. The key is that we cannot participate in it, and we have to rely on them,..."
"Then support the strongest team, whether it's money or other things, and make them stronger as soon as possible..." Daishan didn't hesitate at all, "I brought some leather goods, gold sand and medicinal materials here, you can handle it yourself, We must use these things wisely. Well, what Father Khan means is that it is best from next year to the year after next. We will completely eliminate the Ula tribe. If we can cause chaos in the Gyeonggi area of Dazhou and force the Jizhen line in Liaodong It’s the best thing to do if you don’t care about the end.”
Netu nodded, "Understood."
"As for the Feng family,..." Dai Shan hesitated, "I can't see any other clues yet, but the son of Feng Tang feels like he has soared into the sky. He actually came up with some kind of plan to open up the sea, Netu. Do you think this is something that a sixteen-year-old boy like him can do? I find it unimaginable. Could it be that his teachers used his name to do this? It’s not that they have a lot of internal opposition. Maybe they deliberately let this young man stand in front to cover for them?"
Netu didn't know much about this aspect, but he also felt that it was incredible that this young man of sixteen or seventeen years old caused such a big disturbance in the Zhou court. However, this had little to do with the Jianzhou Jurchens, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
“Second Master, this has little to do with us for the time being, but this Feng Keng, do you think it is necessary...” Netu was also a little confused.
Daishan hesitated for a while before shaking his head, "Forget it, a civil servant may have been a puppet. Then Feng Tang couldn't be the governor of Jiliao just because of his son, right? He just didn't expect this strategy of opening up the sea." Da Zhou actually gained millions of taels of silver in one fell swoop. Da Zhou is really rich."
Daishan couldn't help but smacked his lips.
“Well, we still have to focus on business, Mr. North Korea and Japan…”
Netu's words made Daishan shake his head, with a look of reluctance, "North Korea is on both sides of the fence, but there is still some progress. On the Japanese side, their general is really like an old tortoise, blindly passing the buck, maybe he has to Wait until we take action before taking advantage of the situation."
************
The carriage quietly stopped at the gate of Dahuguo Temple.
The sun is shining and the weather is perfect.
Daiyu was still a little nervous when she got off the carriage.
Zijuan also noticed the change in her mood and comforted her with a smile: "Girl, you don't have to worry so much. Qingwen also said that although Miss Shen's temperament cannot be said to be kind and docile, she is by no means aggressive. And This slave girl feels that this Miss Shen family seems to have a similar temperament to the young lady. They both like music, chess, poetry and painting. Maybe the young lady can have a good talk with her here."
As for Qingwen, Daiyu's original impression of her was very average, just because she was pretty and had a sharp tongue. However, Daiyu was also a little surprised to be liked by Brother Feng, but she would not say it. What.
Now this girl has become Miss Shen's personal maid, which shows that this girl is still somewhat capable and should not be underestimated.
Brother Feng can recommend her to the Shen Mansion, but if she wants to become Miss Shen's personal maid, that's not something he can do. She has to rely on her own abilities.
Just when Daiyu and Zijuan stepped into the gate of Huguo Temple, another carriage also arrived.
Qingwen helped Shen Yixiu get out of the car, "Girl, be careful."
"How can I be so delicate? I heard that Miss Lin is a little weak, is she so delicate?" After Shen Yixiu got out of the car, he looked around and said, "I haven't been here for two years."
“I heard that the girl and Uncle Feng first met here?” Qingwen heard from Feng Ziying and Shen Yixiu that the first time they met was here.
"Well, actually when Ziying and I first met, this Miss Lin was also in the Huguo Temple." Shen Yixiu looked leisurely as he walked through the gate of the Huguo Temple and entered inside, "It's just that we have never met. , Qingwen, do you think this is a fate between me and Miss Lin?"
"Why doesn't it count? Of course it does. You and Miss Lin were both in the Great Huguo Temple a few years ago, and then Uncle Feng also came to the Great Huguo Temple. This means that the three of you are the couple destined by God." Qing Qing. Wen's pretty face blossomed, she smiled particularly happily, and her words became more and more sharp now.
"You're quite a lovable girl." Shen Yixiu felt sweet in her heart. Of course she knew that Feng Ziying and Lin Daiyu had known each other for a long time in Linqing, but they were just acquaintances at that time. When it comes to fate, the Great Huguo Temple is not Should it be the most suitable for a relationship?
Suddenly, the scene of the dispute between Feng Ziying and her younger brother's classmates Yang Sichang, Hou Xun and others appeared in front of his eyes, making Shen Yixiu feel a little dazed. Three years had passed in a flash, and he was already a nineteen-year-old girl. , will be married soon.
"My maid is just telling the truth. As far as my maid knows, Uncle Feng doesn't like to go to temples very much. He rarely goes there at the end of the year, but he and the girl can get to know each other at Dahuguo Temple. Then It must have been chosen by God, otherwise a girl with talent would only be afraid of countless young handsome men from the capital city coming to visit her. The girl has already chosen him, so why can the master choose Uncle Feng from so many people?"
Qingwen's words made Shen Yixiu secretly agree.
When her father chose Feng Ziying, Shen Yixiu had only heard of Feng Ziying's reputation, but her younger brother had a lot of criticism of Qingtan Academy and even Feng Ziying, so her impression of Feng Ziying could not be said to be very good. She only knew that she was one of the northern scholars. The leader.
Later, when the two parties talked about the matter, they somehow met him again. Because there was no one in his family to continue the incense, he was allowed by the court to serve as a priest, so he got engaged to him in a confused way and it became the first marriage. .
Any woman would be unhappy if her husband suddenly lost half of his life to another woman, but his father was very optimistic about this young man and fully supported the marriage.
In this era, marriage is not something that girls can decide on their own. The father decides, which basically means that the outcome remains unchanged.
Moreover, his father also talked with Shen Yixiu. For a family with a small number of heirs like the Feng family, even if he didn't have a wife, he would definitely have several concubines. He would also face this situation in the future, but as the head wife, he didn't need to worry about anyone. It will only threaten your own status.
But this kind of concurrent living will not affect their status. The eldest house and the third house each belong to one house, and each has its own family. Everyone lives in harmony like a small family in a big family, and they are not lonely. This is how my mother is. Comfort yourself.
Comfort is comfort, but Shen Yixiu also knows that she can't change this fate. The only thing she hopes is that her husband will not let her down. Although he is famous in the court, Shen Yixiu still hopes that his husband can perform better. .
She hopes that the other party's outstanding performance will not only be in the government affairs of the DPRK, but also hopes that the performance in her own family will make her feel more at ease, so as to make up for her regret that she may share her husband with another woman.
What makes Shen Yixiu satisfied is that the husband's performance did not disappoint him.
Although there are rumors from the outside world and he himself shows an impatience and displeasure with poetry, he is full of poetry and calligraphy, and his occasional talent has made his younger brother repeatedly frustrated. The atmosphere was so impressive that even his younger brother, who had always been unconvinced, was impressed by it, which also made Shen Yixiu particularly happy.
"Okay, Qingwen, don't say nice things." Shen Yixiu was in a happy mood, "I hope it will be as you said."
"Hey, what are you worried about? She will marry to the Feng Mansion next month. When she becomes a grandma, she will naturally know."
How could Qingwen not know what her girl was thinking? After all, she knew nothing about the Feng family, and she was worried that she would offend her parents-in-law and be unwelcome.
"Although I have never met the wife over there, my best friend Yun Shang grew up in the house there. She said that the wife has a relaxed temper and doesn't like to take care of things. Normally, everything in the house is done by my aunt. In charge,..." Qingwen introduced carefully.
Shen Yixiu had naturally inquired about it. Even if she didn't inquire about such things, her mother would.
The situation of the Feng family is indeed a bit special. Her mother-in-law, the eldest Duan, is said to have a rough temper. Well, that is what Qingwen calls Kuan Shu. She does not like to take care of the affairs of the house, so she basically leaves it to her sister who comes as a dowry. That is to say, the ladies in the back houses of high-ranking families in the capital city call them Xiao Duan.
It's just the third house of the Feng family. The affairs of the eldest house, the second house and the third house were all combined together. Once he got married, he would have to hand over a lot of the eldest house's business to himself, which made Shen Yixiu a little busy.
She used to only like calligraphy, painting, piano and chess at home, but she never thought about how to run a household. She originally thought that her mother-in-law would continue to run the household after she got married, and she would take her time to explore and learn, but she never expected that this would be the case.
This made his mother very happy, and she began to teach her how to manage the house hurriedly, but Shen Yixiu panicked. How could it be so easy to learn this housekeeping task for a moment?
So she was also very worried about how to deal with it after she passed. She also didn't know if she could let her mother-in-law and others continue to take care of it while she learned slowly.
