Chapter 217: Famous in the Capital

"This... I don't quite understand. Read М"

Liang Kai's eyes flickered, he picked up the chopsticks and ate the food by himself.

Everyone here is a veteran in the officialdom.

Liang Kai's behavior made them even more suspicious.

The Liang family said that the Shenji camp's firearms were novelties collected from overseas and specially presented to the royal family.

At that time, Zhao Henglong was very happy and rewarded the Liang family heavily.

Seeing that Liang Kai was unwilling to mention it, everyone naturally understood and stopped asking.

However, they all have concerns in their hearts.

Next, they will explore the secret of this artillery, whether from the Liang family or King Yan.

"Hahaha……"

Seeing that the atmosphere of the banquet was a bit awkward, Dou Wei suddenly laughed out loud.

These people were all invited by him.

As the head of the house, he naturally has the responsibility to ease the atmosphere.

But like everyone else, he also felt that the Liang family seemed calmer than them.

And there must be something fishy about it.

It is said that the sea has been banned for a hundred years, and no pieces of wood are allowed to enter the sea.

However, there have been constant calls for reopening the sea in recent years.

But under the obstruction of the Liang family, Zhao Heng ignored it.

In the court, the Liang family repeatedly stated that the dangers of opening the sea were greater than the southward movement of Beidi.

In the past two years, the pirate rebellion along the coast has indeed become increasingly fierce.

In view of this, Zhao Heng did not mention the opening of the sea.

It’s just that the Liang family almost monopolized Dasong’s maritime trade.

What secrets did they have, including that he was equally interested in.

"Everyone, no matter how you say it, King Yan has become a leader now." Dou Weidao: "I invite you here today for this reason."

When Dou Wei said this, everyone's attention was once again drawn to King Yan.

Liang Kai secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said: "As Prime Minister Dou said, the most important thing at the moment is King Yan. If King Yan becomes bigger, the royal family will become bigger. If the royal family regains its strength at its peak, none of us will There will be good times.”

"What Liang Shangshu said is absolutely true. Although the emperor is polite to us, he is not happy with us after all." Han Zheng said.

Qizhou is adjacent to Yanzhou, so he is naturally more worried about King Yan.

Wang Zi'an, like Han Zheng, is now afraid of King Yan.

This battle in Yanzhou is enough to prove that King Yan's soldiers are very strong.

"Exactly, so regarding the matter of King Yan, you should not quarrel and quarrel in the court, but work together as one." Wang Zi'an said.

Like the Han family, he was also afraid of King Yan.

Hearing this, the others nodded.

Dou Wei was overjoyed. His purpose was to let everyone achieve the common goal of containing King Yan.

He raised his wine glass and said, "The powerful clan will prosper forever!"

"The powerful clan will prosper forever!" Everyone raised their glasses.

Just when they were drinking, their eyes wandered and their thoughts were different.

…

Jinling City.

The news that King Yan defeated the Yuan family and defeated Beidi also spread here, becoming a topic of conversation among Jinling people after dinner.

There are also storytellers who ask for information everywhere, weave it into stories by holding candles, and talk about it in the streets and alleys, as if they have experienced it themselves.

Dasong's national power has been weakening in recent years, and what they hear most is that the land to the west has been occupied by Tibet.

The mountains to the south were occupied by Jiaozhi and Piaoman.

The war in the north was even more corrupt. Ningjin Dusi was lost, and Jinzhou was beaten to pieces by Xiliang.

And King Yan's victory undoubtedly made them feel depressed for a while.

Even restaurants with signs saying "Don't talk about state affairs" have taken down the sign in the past two days, allowing the drinkers to talk about the war in the north.

"Unexpectedly, King Yan not only makes good wine, but he also fights well. After so many years, he is finally relieved."

"No, if you ask me, to defend the territory and expand the territory, we have to rely on the royal family. Apart from plundering the state and fighting for power in the court, these powerful clans are of no use."

"From now on, if we drink more of King Yan's wine, we will treat it as supporting King Yan."

"..."

Yi Guogong Mansion.

Yang Feng drank three large bowls of wine and still had more to say.

He is happy.

King Yan won and killed King Sarge of Beidi.

There was this person during the Battle of Ningjin, and many Yang family members died in his hands.

King Yan killed him, which was equivalent to avenging his Yang family.

"There are so many princes in the emperor, but I didn't expect that this stupid prince would become someone." Yang Feng was about to pour wine again, but was dodged by a pair of bare hands.

"Grandpa, you can't drink any more." A girl in red snorted.

After a pause, the girl continued: "Besides, King Yan's brain disease has recovered, why do you still call him a stupid prince?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Yang Feng laughed and looked at the girl in front of him lovingly.

In the Battle of Ningjin ten years ago, all the Yang family's children over the age of sixteen died in the battle.

Only a few young boys and girls remained.

The Yang family, as famous as the Mohist family, has since declined.

If it weren't for him, an old man with a sloping left foot, he wouldn't have known what the Yang family would have become like.

Thinking of the current situation of the Yang family, he suddenly looked up and down at the girl.

"Grandpa, what's wrong with you?" The girl also looked at herself and found that there was nothing on her body.

Yang Feng looked at it for a while and nodded slightly, "Grandpa remembers that you and King Yan were born in the same year, and King Yan is not married yet..."

When the girl heard this, her face turned as red as the skirt on her body, "Grandpa, what are you thinking about?"

"When men get married, women get married. What's the point? Why, is King Yan still not worthy of you?" Yang Feng teased the girl.

"Now that King Yan's prestige is rising, there are so many people who want to propose marriage to him, so don't think too much about it..." After the girl said this, she turned around and left in shame.

"Susu..." Yang Feng was stunned for a while when he heard this, then sighed again and started drinking wine.

Yang Susu returned to the boudoir, her heart still beating.

At this time, the maid Yue'er came to her and said: "Miss, Miss Liyuan, Miss Qifeng is here."

After hearing this, Yang Susu hurriedly asked Yue'er to invite her in.

Not long after, two women arrived while laughing.

When they arrived at Yang Susu's boudoir, one of them picked up a portrait from his arms and said mysteriously: "Susu, let me show you something good. I bought it for ten taels of silver."

After speaking, he spread a portrait on the table, which turned out to be a portrait of a man.

"Which young master is this?" Yang Susu looked puzzled.

"Of course it's King Yan, otherwise it wouldn't be worth ten taels of silver. It's said that it came from the palace. Nowadays, it's hard to find a painting in the capital. I don't know how many ladies are rushing to get it." Another woman laughed non-stop, "It is said that King Yan still has We haven’t gotten married yet, but now I don’t know how many people are going to the palace to talk to Concubine Mi about getting married.”

"No, this King Yan is really a golden tortoise. Now everyone in the capital is talking about him." The woman said, "As the saying goes, a BMW is matched with a famous saddle, and a beautiful woman is matched with a hero. This King Yan is not a hero. Now, , I don’t know who’s daughter can become Princess Yan.”

The two of them talked quietly, and Yang Susu thought of what her grandfather said again, and the blush that had just subsided came to her face again.

…

"Dong dong dong..."

early morning.

With the sound of the morning bell, Jinling City woke up.

The city gate opened and people carrying goods poured in.

At the same time, the officials put on their official robes and went to the palace.

Since the Yuan family's soldiers and horses attacked Yanguan, Emperor Zhao Heng seemed to be more diligent overnight, and he did not fail every morning.

The officials who were used to not going to court had to get up early again in the cold winter wind.

Yesterday, Ma Yuan escorted Yuan Li to Jinling, making today's court meeting even more significant.

All civil and military officials are present.

Zhao Heng arrived at the main hall accompanied by Liang Cheng.

When the officials shouted long live, he said: "There is another major matter to be discussed at court this morning."
