Liu Han was very busy, he didn't underestimate his opponent, after leaving the teahouse, he went to Xue Mansion, Xue Yu had not yet gone down to the court, Xue Mansion did not dare to snub him, and asked him to wait in the side room, Liu Han waited here until the lights were on, Xue Yu staggered back, and couldn't help but be a little surprised to see him, because Liu Han had not taken the initiative to come to Xue Mansion before.

"Brother Liu, what kind of wind blew you here, it just so happened that I have something to ask for advice, come, come, serve wine, let's talk while eating!"

Xue Yu was very happy, grabbed Liu Han's hand and didn't let go, and pulled him to the backyard.

Liu Han smiled bitterly: "It's time to bother, I'm sending you money, but today, I'm still busy, there are still many things, Brother Xue, I want to drink, and after this while, it's not too late for us to drink." ”

"What's wrong?" Xue Mi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "The sun is coming out of the west today, my brother actually sent me money, what is the problem, as long as Xue can help, no matter!"

Saying that, Xue Mi ordered the food to be delivered below, and still pulled Liu Han to the second courtyard, Xue Mi's mansion is not in the inner city, but in the outer city, the mansion is also grand, and it only occupies twice the area of Liu Han's mansion, however, Liu Han knows that Xue Mi is not satisfied with this mansion, and he hopes to move the mansion into the inner city.

Whether you can live in the inner city or not is an identity, and it has nothing to do with comfort.

It was already late, dinner had already been prepared, as soon as Xue Mi and Liu Han sat down, the next person sent the food up, and after the two of them ate for a while, Xue Mi sent the next person out, and then looked at Liu Han and asked:

"Brother Liu, let's talk about it, why do you want to send money to my brother?"

There was two points of ridicule in his words, but Liu Han was very comfortable in his heart, Xue Yu was at least very bold in front of his friends, and he Liu Han was such a person.

"I'm in trouble," Liu Han said and explained his relationship with Fengyulou, and then said: "Now the Wang family, the Xu family, the Tian family, and the Sanjiang Association have joined forces to force me to give up Caoyun, but I have invested nearly 100,000 taels of silver in Caoyun, and I can't let go, another reason is that the palace has found me and asked me to take over Caoyun." ”

Xue Mi listened very carefully, his brows gradually twisted into a ball, and when he heard that he was found in the palace, his expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but interrupt: "Since you have been found in the palace, what are you worried about?"

"The request of the palace is that I take over Caoyun, the problem is, the palace didn't say that they want to help, do you know? The reason why I promised Xiao Yu is that Xiao Yu told me that he beat Fang Zhen out of the imperial capital and took over Caoyun, which is also the meaning of the palace, the reason is very simple, Fang Zhen's mind was confused, and he ran to support King Qi, after the emperor ascended the throne, he was naturally dissatisfied with him, besides, in case, if something happened, from Qi to the imperial capital, the waterway would arrive in seven or eight days. ”

Xue Mi nodded again and again when he heard this, Cao Gang Fang Zhen supported King Qi, this is not a secret in the government and the opposition, Xue Mi is a staunch supporter of the current emperor, and he naturally hates Cao Gang's move.

"I see," Xue Yu sighed, "Then why did the palace bring down the wind and rain building?"

"How do I know what the reason is," Liu Han also sighed helplessly: "It's just that the palace found me, I only knew about it, this morning, I met the people of the Wang family in the old wine of the Liu family, their attitude is very resolute, I must hand over Caoyun, brother, can I hand it over?"

"Isn't there anything in the palace" Xue Mi said for half a hundred years and knew that he was wrong, if the palace could directly intervene, and what to do with the Cao Gang and Fengyulou, just take it directly, this time I don't know why, I knocked down Fengyulou, and I found Liu Han, this is just a copy of the previous workshop.

"What are you going to do?" Xue Yu asked, Liu Han said in a deep voice: "I will give you a dry share, I don't need you to give people and things, I guess they don't dare to use force, this is the imperial capital, the law of the Great Jin Dynasty is here, and they don't dare to be too presumptuous, but I'm worried that they will use the power of the imperial court, such as impeachment or something, and I can't think of any charges,"

How do you know that Xue Mi smiled and said: "The simplest is to use business to disrupt the government." ”

Liu Han was stunned: "What does this have to do with government affairs?"

"If you say yes, you have, and if you say no, you don't. Xue Mi shook his head and looked at Liu Han with pity: "I asked you to be an official in the court, but you just ran to be a small official with a big sesame seed, it's useless." ”

"How about it, if you take a stake in a shipping company, you have a dry share, and I have estimated that this dry stock will have a dividend of about 10,000 taels of silver every year. Liu Han asked.

Xue Mi pondered slightly: " It stands to reason that with the relationship between our brothers, I shouldn't take this into a dry share, what do you have to do, will I not speak, to tell the truth, since the emperor adopted the policy of salt policy innovation, brother I still have some strength to speak in front of the emperor, but your brother's handling of things, has always been not to friendship, like to engage in a common interest, okay, but I want half of it, I didn't pay the silver, I took half of it, I have been ashamed; 。 ”

"Okay, thank you so much. Liu Han smiled and thanked him: "King of Yanping, is he willing?"

"Hehe, of course, you don't know, the prince admires you very much," Xue Yu said with a smile: "Besides, don't you also say, will he still rise, befriending the king of Yanping County, whether it is now or in the future, it will be good for you." ”

Liu Han looked at Xue Mi's smile, and felt a chill in his heart, but what Xue Mi said was the truth, so he nodded: "In this way, it will be better." ”

Xue Mi suddenly remembered, so he asked: "Since it is the palace that comes forward, what are you still worried about using business to disrupt the government? Isn't that a sentence in the palace?" ”

"You can't say that, government affairs are handled in Shangshutai, you also know, Pan Lian is mostly unreliable, Gan Tang is an antique, Zuo Chen is a Taoist master, once the palace reveals the intention of choosing me, or the intention of supporting me, Zuo Chen is afraid that he will admonish him to death, and the emperor and the court must not do such a cheap thing, hehe," Liu Han smiled contemptuously: "If it weren't for this period of time, the government was in turmoil, Zuo Chen was afraid that he would have to cut off the internal guards, and I don't know what the emperor would say at that time." ”

Xue Mi was stunned for a moment, and asked in disbelief: "Will it?

"I don't know, but all over the world, only Zuo Chen dares to be sparse, Brother Xue, don't forget, Zuo Chen once said that the government should be a bright and upright policy, not a small one. What is a small act? Secondly, the gate lord has long been dissatisfied with the internal guards, Brother Xue, they don't dare to go up, won't they encourage others to go up?"

Xue Mi was silent for a while, and remembered, Zuo Chen publicly claimed that the imperial court should disband the internal guard, but he was not negligent at that time, and now he has entered Shangshutai, and he is the emperor's teacher, and he has no scruples.

Thinking of this, Xue Yu shook his head helplessly, Neiwei has always been known as the emperor's eyes, under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor, no one else is allowed to interfere, Zuo Chen is really sparse, with his reputation in Shilin, I am afraid that the emperor should have a headache again.

"Brother Xue, if there really is a day, how should the brother deal with himself?" Liu Han looked at Xue Yu and said with a meaningful smile.

Xue Mi was stunned and asked casually: "What does my brother think I should do?"

"What about this matter, if the brother is wise to protect himself, don't open his mouth, but if the brother wants to go further, he should persuade the emperor that the internal guard must not be abolished!"

Xue Mi was stunned for a moment, and then frowned, if Zuo Chen is sparse, Shilin will inevitably support in groups, if anyone stands up to block it, it will inevitably become the finger of Qianfu, but what does Liu Han mean by this?

"The emperor is definitely unwilling to abolish the internal guards, but this guy Zuo Chen holds high the banner of morality, and it is difficult for the emperor to refute," Liu Han paused when he said this: "Brother Xue, if someone under you stands up to solve your problems when you are in trouble, will you reuse him?"

Xue Mi nodded as a matter of course, and then understood, so he smiled at Liu Han and said: "Brother Liu, Brother Liu, why do you want to go to the forbidden army, a small team is really a talent." ”

Liu Han shook his head: "Brother, I came from a poor family, my parents don't know who they are, I have been in business for many years, if I can also enter the court as an official, and I won't be sprayed to death by the world's soldiers, forget it, let's hide in the forbidden army and live my free life." ”

Xue Mi couldn't help laughing, he admired Liu Han's interest, and it was precisely because of this interest that he could use it with confidence, he had the courage and courage, and his cultivation was still high.

After laughing, Xue Mi raised a glass to persuade wine, Liu Han took a shallow sip, and then immediately took out a document and sent it to Xue Mi, Xue Mi didn't look at it and asked people to come over with a pen and sign their names on it.

After driving out the subordinates who came in, Xue Mi said again: "Brother, the emperor is angry today, Yangzhou's salt government reform, Chen Guo's land distribution, and Saiwai have all had accidents. ”

Xue Mi explained the matter outside the Sai in detail, Liu Han shook his head and said: "Don't interfere in the affairs outside the Saiwai, Lu Shui Xiongnu, Qiu Yunmu has been in Liangzhou for ten years, they know very well, with Qiu Yun's old spicy and Duanmu Zheng's shrewdness, how can they be defenseless, I estimate that there may be something in this The court doesn't know yet, wait, don't talk yet, the emperor is still observing you, and he doesn't know if he can use you, so you have to keep a low profile during this time." ”

Xue Yu is not stupid, Liu Han understood before he finished speaking, Qiu Yun did not go to court today, he was sick at home, there would be no connection here? He didn't believe it.

Moreover, Liu Han said that the emperor was still observing him, which he also felt right, and if the emperor wanted to use him, he would definitely not reuse it with just one suggestion.

"Chen Guo's affairs, you don't care, this is not the same as the outside of the Saiwai, I suggest that you go into the palace and contact the queen, see what the emperor thinks, and then speak carefully;" Liu Han pondered and said: "However, Yangzhou's salt administration is different, and the salt administration is your suggestion, so you have to speak, but the emperor doesn't ask, you don't say, the emperor asks, you say." ”

Xue Yu nodded, but then asked again: "But what should I say?"

Liu Han smiled bitterly: "What happened in Yangzhou?"
