Chapter 647 Seeing Luo Zhixiang Again(1/2)
Xu Wen was responsible for presiding over Yang Xingmi's funeral, and welcomed and sent off. He was humble and polite, and was well-behaved.
Most of the people who mourn are respectfully called Xu Gong.
Zhang Hao used the excuse that he could not slacke in the city's prevention and security, and stayed in the outer city and ignored the funerals in the inner city.
Yang Xingmi was buried successfully.
Xu Wen also arranged Yang Wo's succession ceremony and invited Li Yan to envoy Li to place the Xuanzong tablet given by Emperor Zhaozong.
As the envoy of the proclamation, Li Yan is a mascot.
He lived a better life of food and clothing than that of the common people on weekdays. He was not treated preferentially by Yang Xingmi and could not return to Chang'an.
Li Yan turned his back to Xuanzong's tablet and announced the order to appoint Yang Wo to inherit the King of Wu, the governor of the Huainan Army, the attendant of the Tang Dynasty court, and the commander of the southeastern road camp.
Yang Wo knelt down and thanked him, and Li Yan took away the Xuanzong tablet and left the venue.
Yang Wo walked up and turned to sit down. The civil and military officials from Yangzhou visited and completed their official succession.
In the following days, the governors of various prefectures under the Huainan Army successively sent people to pay tribute to Yang Xingmi and pay tribute to the new king.
As a son, Yang Wo must be mourned and guarded.
I could still bear it for the first two days, but I couldn't stand calling on my confidants, so I actually played ball and drank in my father's mourning hall.
Yang Wo played with balls at night and lit many candles, which cost tens of thousands of dollars.
Yang Wo's confidant found Zhou Yin's branch last year. Zhou Yin learned that he was used to consume the ball, and was furious and refused the branch.
Yang Wo received a reward from his confidant, and was rational and did not find Zhou Yin to get angry last year. The death of his father caused Yang Wo to lose a lot of confidence.
The consumption of playing ball in the mourning hall will inevitably be criticized and unfilial if you say it.
In order not to damage his majesty, Yang Wo could only endure it for the time being.
Yang Wo followed the advice of a close confidant and served as the ambassador of the inner treasury. He was responsible for storing and offerings, and withholding part of the financial resources that the judge should have been responsible for.
Zhou Yin had no choice but to intercept Yang Wo's offerings, which would inevitably lead to a gap in the original planned expenditure.
During the Yang Xingmi period, there was no private wealth in the treasury, and the worship of various states was actually used to support the army.
Zhou Yin had to prepare for the future and re-formulate expenditure on military maintenance.
Because the enshrinement of various states at the end of the year has become Yang Wo's private wealth.
Wei Fufeng received the report of the funeral and called Wei Hang, who was the chief clerk, and brought 1,300 silver to Yangzhou.
One thousand silver is to congratulate Yang Wo, and three hundred silver is to manage the officials of Yangzhou.
Wei Fufeng's intentional insult to Yang Wo would not arouse the general disgust of Yangzhou bureaucrats, because Yang Wo is famous for being a playboy.
Gifts and bribes congratulating the new king must be lacking, which means respect for Yangzhou.
Two days after Wei Hang left, Wei Fufeng received a report to the President of Xuanzhou, Luo Zhixiang, and he went to the dock himself.
Luo Zhixiang was surprised and moved when he saw Wei Fufeng.
Wei Fufeng invited him with a smile, and Luo Zhixiang and his men were welcomed.
The private room in Chufeng West Building was seated.
Wei Fufeng asked, "Why isn't Cheng Jin's hard work?"
Luo Zhixiang's face was gloomy and replied: "Cheng Jin is dead, Wang Yanzhang killed Cheng Jin."
Wei Fufeng was stunned.
Luo Zhixiang said again: "The Xuanzhou treasury is empty. In order to support the army, Wang Yanzhang took officials to search the house. Cheng Jin's family's wealthy family was charged with corruption and implicated the house."
Wei Fufeng frowned, and Wang Yanzhang's bandits acted like drinking poison to quench thirst.
But in troubled times, it is the most effective way to solve the military crisis.
Luo Zhixiang said sadly: "The people of Xuanzhou are suffering."
Wei Fufeng nodded. Luo Zhixiang was really sad. It was not out of compassion, but to put too much effort into the revival of Xuanzhou.
Wei Fufeng said gently: "Wait patiently, Wang Maozhang will not last long."
Luo Zhixiang was stunned and said, "Sir, I think the new king cannot tolerate Wang Maozhang."
Wei Fufeng said: "Whether it can be tolerated depends on how much sacrifice?"
Luo Zhixiang nodded and said, "I brought out five hundred silver this time and two hundred silver for the management."
Wei Fufeng said: "The three hundred silver gifts cannot make up for Yang Wo's dislike. You can keep 200 yuan and give 200 yuan in your own money. There is no need to waste it."
Luo Zhixiang was moved and said, "The new king sent troops to conquer Xuanzhou, which is not good for the general."
Wei Fufeng whispered: "Wang Yanzhang and I are not the same person, and I am unwilling to cooperate. If I were Yang Wo's confidants, I would have a better chance of getting Xuanzhou."
Luo Zhixiang nodded and said, "The official understands and is willing to help the general."
Wei Fufeng said: "You don't need your adventure. Your political skills are very precious. If you don't want to suffer accidental wars in Xuanzhou, you can come to Jiangning to serve as the prefect of Shangyuan."
Luo Zhixiang hesitated for a moment and said, "I will not receive any reward without merit, so I will stay in Xuanzhou."
Wei Fufeng smiled and nodded, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.
Luo Zhixiang took a sip of tea and asked, "I heard about something that the new king had terminated the marriage."
Wei Fufeng nodded.
Luo Zhixiang said, "The lower official took the liberty to ask, is the general confident of fighting against the new king?"
Wei Fufeng nodded and said, "Full of confidence, Jiangning Changzhou and Huzhou."
Luo Zhixiang nodded.
Wei Fufeng said again: "What I am talking about is not United. The governor of Changzhou, Huzhou, are all my subordinates."
Ah? Luo Zhixiang unexpectedly lost his voice and questioned: "How could Gao Yan, the governor of Changzhou, be the subordinate of the Grand Marshal?"
Wei Fufeng said: "It's a long story. Gao Yan led his army to Jiangning. It was because of me that Gao Yan captured Changzhou, which means I captured Changzhou."
Luo Zhixiang said: "Gao Yan's military strength belongs to the old subordinate of the Grand Marshal? He is not the governor of Bazhong."
Wei Fufeng said: "It's a bit complicated to say, there is no need to talk about past subordinates."
Luo Zhixiang nodded. At this time, the wine and food were delivered, and the two of them drank and chatted.
Luo Zhixiang talked about a lot of the past in Xuanzhou, sighing that Tian Fu was defeated and his son was all dead. Tai Meng occupied Tian Fu's daughters.
Later, Tian Pei's daughter Yao Niang, who married into the Sichuan Nanjun, entrusted a merchant to redeem her.
Unfortunately, Taibeng lion opened his mouth wide and cost five hundred taels of silver per person.
The merchant gave up and took the mother Tian Feng who was living on the street and returned to the Sichuan South Army, but Taichung did not detain anyone.
Later, Taimeng died of illness, and another merchant emerged to redeem Yao Niang.
Luo Zhixiang was a man of the same age, fifty taels per person, and Mrs. Taibeng got the money and released him, leaving Xuanzhou and returning to Yangzhou.
Luo Zhixiang sighed that although he was in charge of Xuanzhou's finances, his family was not rich, and his family's wealth was only worth more than 200 silver. He worked diligently to assist Tian Bao and never enriched his personal pockets.
It’s a pity that Tian Feng lives in Xuanzhou and his daily life is not luxurious, and he spares no effort to support his army.
Luo Zhixiang was drunk 70% drunk, and Wei Fufeng arranged to stay in Chufeng West Tower.
Luo Zhixiang pulled Wei Fufeng and said drunk: "You are a friend, Wang Maozhang asked me to take a little girl with me to offer it to the new king.
Cheng Jin's niece is eleven years old, like a flower and jade. I will leave it to you on the boat."
Wei Fufeng was also drunk and said, "I will accept Cheng Jin's niece, so I will raise you so much. I will be a wife for my son. It's worthy of getting to know Cheng Jin."
Luo Zhixiang was stunned and said, "You may not be willing to leave it to your son when you see him."
Wei Fufeng smiled and said, "Then I will not see you, I will send you home. Seeing that she is destined to be with my son, but not destined to be with me, I will treat her as my daughter to marry an official."
Luo Zhixiang wanted to speak but stopped and sighed: "You gave it to your son, I wouldn't have given it to you, forget it, I think I don't have that blessing."
Wei Fufeng understood and smiled: "Let's rest."
Luo Zhixiang waved his hand and walked away, his steps were floating, and the guy hurriedly helped him.
Wei Fufeng turned around and left, understanding that Luo Zhixiang hated Wang Yanzhang, and without his instructions, he would destroy Wang Yanzhang to please Yang Wo and privately detain the beauty who made his contribution.
Wang Yanzhang had a problem with his head. He didn't even use his confidant to serve as an envoy for a major conscientious person.
......
The next morning, Wei Fufeng Wharf saw him off and met a young lady in blue clothes who was getting ashore.
Luo Zhixiang said, "Her name is Cheng Qingyi."
"I pay homage to you, sir." The little girl gave a gentle girl.
Wei Fufeng smiled lightly, the little girl in her eyes was indeed as beautiful as a flower, as white as jade, and her delicate face as white as jade, with a look and temperament similar to Wei Xiaoyun.
Cheng Qingyi took the initiative to walk behind Wei Fufeng.
Wei Fufeng and Luo Zhixiang bid farewell until they disappeared, and returned with their little mother and subordinates.
"Mr. Changshi said, "Mr. I met my uncle." On the way, Cheng Qingyi said softly.
