"How does Chongzhen treat the Kong family in Qufu? Does it have anything to do with our Tiger Flag?" Liu Heng asked back.
The Kong family in Qufu is the Kong family in Qufu, and the tiger-character flag is the tiger-character flag. Just because he married a daughter of the Kong family does not mean that the tiger-character flag has become the backing of the Kong family in Qufu. What's more, he is only marrying a collateral daughter of the Kong family. , let alone the deep relationship with contemporary Yan Shenggong and other direct descendants of the Kong family.
Yang Yuan said hesitantly: "But if this happens, the life of the future mistress's relatives in Qufu will probably be difficult. If the Yan Shenggong is more ruthless, he will probably attack them."
"Leave this matter to the Foreign Intelligence Agency to resolve." Liu Heng said.
Hearing this, Yang Yuan responded: "I understand."
"That's it. Go back and make arrangements. I will release Kong Yinjing back in a few days." Liu Heng said.
Yang Yuan saluted and said: "My subordinates, please retire."
After the people left, Zhao Wu on the side stepped forward to replace the tea that had cooled down in front of Liu Heng with a new cup of tea.
"What's going on over there on Pi Island?" Liu Heng suddenly asked.
Zhao Wu put down the teapot in his hand and said, "The attendant team should know about Pi Dao's matter. Do you want me to fetch Li Yunqi?"
"Let him come here!" Liu Heng nodded.
Zhao Wu turned around and walked out.
At this moment, Liu Heng said again: "Zheng Tie has been in charge of the foreign affairs for so long. You and he were both my guards back then. Should I let you go out to practice as well?"
Zhao Wu, who was about to reach the door, stopped, turned around, bowed and said: "This subordinate only wants to stay with the Lord as a guard, and will not go anywhere else."
"With your qualifications, you are at least a camp sergeant when you leave my side. You have made a few contributions and there is no problem in being promoted to a division sergeant. But you can only be a guard by my side. It is such a pity." Liu Heng He sighed and shook his head.
The other party had been following him for so long, so he was determined to let Zhao Wuwai out for some training.
After taking Henan, if the Tiger Character Banner wants to continue to move south or east, it needs to expand its army. It is the best time for Zhao Wu to leave at this time. He can be directly entrusted with important tasks in the army. Participating in the Tiger Character Banner may break out at any time. war.
"This subordinate is willing to stay with the lord and serve as a guard for the lord." Zhao Wuzhong expressed his unwillingness to leave Liu Heng's side.
Liu Heng looked at the loyal Zhao Wu and decided: "That's it. I'll give you two options. One is to go to Pi Island and take over Pi Island, and the other option is to go to the Third War Division to be a battalion staff officer. The commander will make a transition first. After deciding where to go, I will ask the Military and Political Department to send the appointment letter."
After following Zhao Wu for so long, he decided to let him go.
Staying with him seems to have a high status, but because it is difficult to have the opportunity to perform meritorious service, in fact the position is not too high. An old man like Zhao Wu cannot wait for others to be in high positions. He is still a guard. .
"Then, let me go to Phi Island." Although Zhao Wu didn't want to leave, it could be seen that the lord insisted on letting him out. Knowing that it was irreversible, he chose to work under Zheng Tie.
The reason for this choice was first of all because he and Zheng Tie were both the Lord's guards and had some friendship.
Secondly, there is the example of Zheng Tie. Since he has left his lord's side, he should do a good job, and it is easiest to make achievements in difficult places.
Back then, Zheng Tie achieved his current status only because he took people to open up wasteland on Da Yuan Island.
"Then go to Pidao and prepare well in the next few days." Liu Heng said, "Go and find Li Yunqi!"
Zhao Wu walked out of the signing room.
…
Liu Heng did not deliberately conceal his marriage, and the people at Hu Zi Banner quickly learned about his intention to marry Kong's daughter.
As the marriage envoy, Kong Yinjing lived a very comfortable few days in Datong.
The room he stayed in was the living and sleeping hall of King Dai, and the bed he slept on was the same bed that King Dai had slept in. The food and drinks he ate and drank were cooked by the royal chef of King Dai's palace, which could barely be considered as eating royal food.
No matter where he went in the past few days in Datong, he would receive warm hospitality. All expenses for food, drink and entertainment would be taken care of by the Tiger Flag personnel accompanying him.
And all he needs to do is have fun.
If he didn't need to finalize the marriage, he would be reluctant to leave Datong.
However, no matter how comfortable life is in Datong, I still have to go back.
In order to ensure the safety of Kong Yinjing, the marriage envoy, Tiger Character Banner specially sent a team of soldiers to escort him through Shanxi and Henan, and finally returned to Shandong.
Then pass through Caoxian County and enter Yanzhou Prefecture, all the way to Qufu.
Arriving at Yanzhou Prefecture is equivalent to arriving at the Kong family's own territory. Everywhere Kong Yinjing's team goes, the county magistrates along the way will warmly entertain them and give them a small profit before leaving.
And Qufu is the territory of the Kong family. The county magistrates of Qufu are all members of the Kong family from top to bottom. Even a few government servants with foreign surnames are also servants of the Kong family.
After Kong Yinjing, who was clearly a descendant of the Kong family, entered the territory of Qufu, he was no longer as arrogant as he was in other prefectures and counties in Yanzhou Prefecture, but instead restrained his arrogance.
After arranging to escort the Tiger Flag people all the way, Kong Yinjing hurriedly went to report back to Duke Yansheng.
The Confucius Mansion is located on the east side of the Confucius Temple. It was built in the Hongwu period and renovated in the Hongzhi Dynasty. It covers an area of more than 200 acres, has nine courtyards, a three-way layout, and three government offices and six halls.
In order to get married to a daughter of the Kong family, Yan Shenggong and other members of the Kong family held a meeting in the hall to discuss the matter.
Those who were qualified to discuss matters were all important figures in the Kong family. Originally, Kong Yinjing was not qualified to participate because he was sent to Datong for the wedding, so he had the qualification to accompany him at the bottom.
"Brother Yinjing, you have seen Liu Heng who is the leader of the tiger-character flag. Tell the elders of the clan here what Liu Heng sent you." Kong Yinzhi, who was sitting on the throne of Yanshenggong, shouted to accompany him. Kong Yinjing ranked last.
The two are of the same generation, and Kong Yinjing is slightly older by two years.
Kong Yinjing stood up from his seat carefully, saluted the elders present, and then said: "Liu Heng did not make any excessive demands. He just hopes that we can hand over marriage letters to each other as soon as possible and form a good relationship."
"Elders of the clan, what do you think?" Kong Yinzhi looked at the elders on the seats.
Although he is Yan Shenggong, the head of the Kong family, in fact the Kong family does not have the final say alone. Some elders of the clan also hold the power of the Kong family.
These elders even joined forces to replace even Yan Shenggong, and this kind of thing has happened before.
"I have not supported this marriage from the beginning." The person who spoke was an old man named Kong Shangyan, who was the cousin of contemporary Yan Shenggong's biological father.
Faced with such an important figure in the Kong family, Yan Shenggong tried his best to keep his tone as gentle as possible and said: "Cousin, in fact, not only do you not support this marriage, but my nephew does not support it either, but now the rebels have attacked. Kaifeng is now on the edge of Yanzhou Mansion, and my nephew always has to think about the other members of the Kong family."
