Lu Gongzi and Yu Yao exchanged glances, Yu Yao put down the dust pill, personally held it and sent it to Ju Yi, and then clapped his hands outside, and immediately someone sent a long painting scroll, Yu Yao held the painting scroll and sent it to Ju Yi for signing.

This time, the sentence did not move, or even opened, and looked at Yu Yao with a solemn expression. Yu Yao smiled and said: "I heard that adults like Mr. Xu's paintings, and the younger brother was lucky enough to get a picture of a wedding banquet a few years ago. ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help but be moved again, this Xu Rong was a famous painter of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the previous dynasty, his paintings were hard to find at that time, and now they are becoming more and more difficult to find, even if the palace has not been able to collect a few, he likes Xu Rong's paintings, and after decades, he has only found a fan.

The sentence was hurriedly opened, and he couldn't stop praising while looking at it, the characters on the painting were vivid, and each one was vivid and natural, as if he was alive.

"It's all good things," Ju Yi sighed, and reluctantly put away the painting: "Brother Yu, I still don't understand." ”

"My lord, I was ordered to Yangzhou to clean up and reform the salt administration, and now the salt administration reform has been completed, but Lord Gu has sideways branches, my lord, so down, Yangzhou will have a hard time. Yu Yao said.

When he heard this, he roughly understood what they were going to do, and couldn't help sneering a few times, but there was a look of worry and embarrassment on his face: "Alas, you may also know that this Qincha is headed by me on the surface, but Master Gu is a close confidant of Master Pan Lian, and I can't control him." ”

"Your Excellency is also wrong in this statement," Yu Yao said with a smile: "Your Excellency is the main envoy of the Qincha, Gu Wei is just a deputy envoy, but Gu Wei has crossed the adult's impeachment and assassination without authorization, your lordship thinks about it, what will the emperor think, and what will the guilds of the court think?"

"What Uncle Yu said is," Lu Gongzi interjected: "Gu Wei impeached Lord Sheng, but the Lord was silent, what should the imperial court think? At the same time, what will Lord Pan think, my lord, you can't be silent anymore." ”

The sentence understands, these two want him to come forward and fight back against Gu Wei, after all, he is the envoy of the Qincha, Gu Wei is his deputy, if he comes forward to oppose it, Sheng Huai can easily get out of the predicament,

Ju Yi couldn't help sneering in his heart, Sheng Huai, Sheng Huai, it's so easy, but he still sighed with a sad face: "Brother Yu, Lu Gongzi, you don't know my difficulties, the court asks us for silver, this salt tax is no longer available, we can only clean up the iron tax, silk and cotton grain, and use these taxes to fill the hole in the salt tax, but Sheng Huai hinders it, and Master Gu has no choice but to impeach him." ”

Yu Yao and Lu Gongzi exchanged glances, which was not much different from their speculation, since Gu Wei arrived in Yangzhou, Yangzhou has been rumored that the imperial court is insufficient, and Gu Wei and Gu Wei are here to get silver, and after the salt tax, it is iron, silk, cotton, grain, etc., and now this rumor has been confirmed.

This rumor makes Yangzhou people very angry, Yangzhou pays a lot of taxes to the imperial court every year, and the imperial court still has to loot in Yangzhou, Jizhou, Jingzhou, and Shuzhou are not as rich as Yangzhou, why is the imperial court so mean to Yangzhou!

After saying a few words of truth, Yu Yao sighed softly: "My lord, the court is still competing with the people for profit, which is against the way of the sage. ”

"What kind of thing is Gu Wei," Lu Gongzi looked contemptuous: "My lord, you can't indulge him like this, the salt government innovation is all operated by him, if the impeachment of Lord Sheng is also successful, how will the imperial court treat the adults in the future!

The sentence was silent for a while, and looked up at Yu Yao and Lu Gongzi: "Brother Yu, Lu Gongzi, today the two of you are lobbyists for Sheng Huai." ”

Yu Yao shook his head resolutely: "Lord Sheng Huaisheng has been in Yangzhou for seven or eight years, shepherding one side for the imperial court, diligent, honest and honest, and has won the trust of the whole Yangzhou. ”

The sentence is disdainful in his heart, this Sheng Huai can also be said to be honest and honest, this is a nonsense with his eyes open, the evidence collected by Gu Wei is very detailed, this Sheng Huai has been in Yangzhou for seven or eight years, and the amount of silver he has made is roughly calculated to be more than 100,000 yuan, if he investigates carefully, it is possible to multiply it ten times.

"Master Sheng has a lot of friends in the court, as far as this official knows, Lord Gu's impeachment, the court has been left behind, this matter, Brother Yu, Master Lu, has passed, Lord Sheng can sit back and relax. He said with a smile, he was a little surprised in his heart, with the power of the Lu Yu family, Gu Wei's impeachment was left behind, Sheng Huai was in danger, Gu Wei won a reputation, and both sides had their own gains.

"Lord Miao," Yu Yao shook his head: "Of course, the imperial court has left Gu Wei's performance in the middle, but this stay, what the adults know, I don't know when it will be turned out again, but this stay should be a big setback for Gu Wei, if the adults are sparse at this time, Lord Sheng will be very grateful, and Gu Wei will inevitably be held accountable for being framed." ”

"Yes, my lord, at this time, Gu Wei's clown, the court is bound to ask for guilt. Lu Gongzi interjected: "My lord, there is a lack of fire now, if my lord stands up at this time and impeaches Gu Wei, he will inevitably win everyone's support." ”

Ju Yu now understood, it turned out that the purpose of these people was here, it seems that the movement of the imperial court, they know very well, the emperor wants to move Shenghuai, but Pan Lian blocked it, this move In their opinion, this is Pan Lian's loss of trust in Gu Wei, at this time, if he stands up to impeach Gu Wei, Gu Wei is likely to be dismissed, and even assigned.

Ju Yi felt that he had been put on the stove, and he knew very well that although there were only two people here, they represented the Yu family, the Lu family, and even the entire Yangzhou clan, their purpose was very simple, to kill Gu Wei, at least to drive Gu Wei out of Yangzhou.

Maybe Gu Wei can't be driven out of Yangzhou? Ju Yu quickly thought about it, to get rid of Gu Wei, the attitude of the imperial court is very important, will the imperial court agree?

But if you don't agree, what will these gate lords in Yangzhou do? Will they tear their faces with him?

In an instant, he thought a lot, countless thoughts, and countless possibilities, making it difficult for him to choose.

Yu Yao and Lu Gongzi both looked at the sentence, the two of them didn't disturb him, and they both sat there very firmly.

After a long time, he slowly spoke: "It is not advisable to impeach Gu Wei. ”

Lu Gongzi smiled and was about to speak, but Yu Yao smiled: "Why?"

"The emperor will not agree. He said solemnly.

"The emperor won't agree, why does your lord say that?" Yu Yao continued to ask.

"Brother Yu may know that the emperor is preparing to take down Sheng Huai, but he was stopped by Master Pan, does Brother Yu think that Gu Wei has lost the trust of Lord Pan?"

Yu Yao nodded, and Lu Gongzi asked rhetorically, "Isn't it?"

"Of course not," said the sentence, " Gu Wei used to be the long history of Master Pan, Taishi Pan can now control Shangshutai, Gu Wei has made great contributions, Taishi Pan has great trust in Gu Wei, the reason why he kept Sheng Huai this time, I am afraid, Brother Yu and Lu Gongzi, I am afraid they also know the reason; this is the first; second, the emperor's meaning, have you thought about it, Taishi Pan kept Sheng Huai, which shows that the emperor agrees with Gu Wei's proposition, and if Gu Wei is impeached now, I am afraid that not only can he not be impeached, on the contrary, the emperor will think that it is a challenge to him, and Sheng Daren is afraid that it will be dangerous. ”

As soon as these words came out, Yu Yao and Lu Gongzi both fell into deep thought, they couldn't help but say, the sentence was right, they both ignored the emperor's attitude, paid too much attention to Pan Lian's attitude, Sheng Huai gave Pan Lian 100,000 taels of silver, some of which were from two families, without this 100,000 taels of silver, Pan Lian probably would not have kept Sheng Huai.

"In this way, can you only let Gu Wei wreak havoc on the people of Yangzhou?" Yu Yao sighed, and a fierce light flashed in Lu Gongzi's eyes, obviously he was thinking something.

Seeing it in his eyes, he couldn't help sighing, it seems that there are fewer outstanding people in Yangzhou's gate lord clan, and they haven't even figured out the most basic.

"Although Gu Wei cannot be impeached, it is very easy to get Gu Wei to leave Yangzhou. The sentence said lightly, Yu Yao and Lu Gongzi's eyes lit up, and Yu Yao asked for advice: "Please also ask the adults to give advice." "Jizhou flood, the emperor intends to let Chen Xuan serve as the assassin of Jizhou, Chen Xuan wants to serve as Jizhou, Jing Zhaoyin will be vacant, Brother Yu, Lu Gongzi, you can use the power of the Yu family and the Lu family to push Gu Wei to serve as Jing Zhaoyin, Jing Zhaoyin is a member of the four products, Gu Wei is now from the fourth grade, and he is recommended to be Jing Zhaoyin, which is a compliment. ”

"Let him be promoted!" Lu Gongzi screamed, but Yu Yao fell into deep thought, and he was disdainful in his heart, how could this Lu family let this guy be in charge of Yangzhou, no wonder he was taken to death by Gu Wei some time ago.

"Lu Gongzi, this is Mingsheng and secretly descending," the sentence said: "Jing Zhaoyin, that is the most difficult position in the whole world to sit in, how many people has Chen Xuan offended in this position, now Chen Xuan is surrounded by enemies, that is, there are too many people who have offended in this position, Gu Wei wants to serve as Jing Zhaoyin, or in less than three years, he will either become the same as Sheng Huai, or offend countless nobles." ”

"Admire! Admire!" Yu Yao thought about it, and said with a smile: "My lord is far-sighted, if you can let Gu Wei leave Yangzhou, it would be the best." ”

He smiled reservedly and let Gu Wei leave, but the strategy formulated by the imperial court would not change, and as soon as Gu Wei left, these things fell on him.

However, he is not worried at all, in his heart, he already has an opinion, but there is a distance between this and the hope of the imperial court and the hope of the Yangzhou gate lord clan, so it takes time to run in.

The dancing girl was re-recruited, and the sound of the piano sounded again, and the bewitching figure swayed in the room.

Dark Yangzhou, cold Yangzhou, in a deep alley in the west of the city, there is also a leisurely sound of the piano.

Under the light, a wonderful figure danced to the sound of the piano.

The sound of the piano is slow and slow, and Miaoman's figure is fast and slow with the sound of the piano, happy like a bird, jumping in the bamboo forest, with long sleeves trembling, bringing out a whole afterimage, like a fairy in the dark night.

"Whew. ”

There was a long whistle, and the sound of the piano stopped abruptly.

Miao Man's figure pulled out a long series of afterimages, his hands danced rapidly, and his long sleeves swayed wildly in the air, like a blooming peony.

"Your dancing has become more and more subtle. Gu Wei praised softly.

Zhen Niang got up, after a song, there was no trace of sweat on her forehead, her long hair was slightly scattered, she smiled, knelt down beside Gu Wei, and gently leaned on his shoulder.

"The amorous dance is late, the intention is slow, the wrist is too heavy, the waist is beautiful, the Luo Yi posture is leading, and the light belt is shaken. Zhen Niang muttered.

Gu Wei gently hugged her fragrant shoulders and whispered: "Singing will be delicate, listening to the music and moving the moth eyebrows." The condensation is falling, and the words are slightly revealed. Stay at dusk, look at each other and love each other at this time. ”

Zhen Niang sighed softly, raised her hand lightly, her slender fingers caressed his delicate and smooth face, and murmured: "Jun's heart is not quiet, still thinking about Sheng Huai?"

"What are you talking about? Gu Wei said lightly, his arms tightened, as if he wanted to take her into his arms and block the cold wind in the night: "The world is unpredictable, I thought..." ”

"Taishi is wrong again this time. Zhen Niang sighed: "Since you can't help yourself, give up." ”

Gu Wei didn't answer, his eyes looked at the dark night sky, the moon hung on the night in the dark, and the stars around him appeared and disappeared from time to time.

Zhen Niang looked up at him, followed his gaze to the night sky, and leaned silently on his shoulder.

"During this period of time, alas, I have too deep a relationship with Taishi, and it is difficult to say that it is clean. Gu Wei's tone was very disappointed, Pan Lian actually did not support him, but kept Sheng Huai, which was unexpected and devastated him, so during this time, he was very depressed.

"The court itself is not worried, why bother. Zhen Niang comforted in a low voice.

Gu Wei sighed: "The imperial court is insufficient, and the war outside Liangzhou will not stop for a while, and now there are millions of taels of silver, and it can be supported for a period of time for the time being, but how long can this bit of silver be used, and when it runs out, what will the imperial court do? ”

Zhen Niang sighed faintly: "Li people, you are worried about them, but how many can you save?

Gu Wei didn't answer, Zhen Niang seemed to know his difficulties, couldn't help sighing softly, didn't say anything more, looking at the scattered bamboo forests in the yard, this yard is not big, a few bamboo forests, just the right amount of greenery out of the yard.

There was a faint sound of piano, Zhen Niang frowned slightly in disgust, Gu Wei showed a slight smile, and then sighed.

"The Qinglou Spring Festival is full of singing and dancing, and the thin clothes are cold in the middle of winter. Gu Wei sighed.

"The drums and drums were broken, and the people in the court and China slept peacefully. Zhen Niang continued in a low voice.

Gu Wei sighed: "You are too pessimistic, it is better to change the king's worries and sleep." ”

"The king can't sleep, but Shang Shutai can sleep peacefully. Zhen Niang pouted like a little girl.

Gu Wei smiled and didn't argue with her, the two of them just stayed quietly, and in the middle of the sound, Zhen Niang suddenly interjected: "Otherwise, I'll make a move." ”

Gu Wei was slightly stunned, and then shook his head: "Little fool, this is not good." ”

"Why?" Zhen Niang asked rhetorically, Gu Wei sighed softly, turned her body over, looked into her eyes and said, "Absolutely not, you must not move." ”

Zhen Niang pursed her mouth tightly and nodded solemnly, but Gu Wei was still staring at her, Zhen Niang bit her red lips lightly, and nodded again: "I promise you." ”

"There are many ways to deal with Sheng Huai, and you can't take such risks, and this move is harmful and unhelpful, but it may mess things up. Gu Wei said: "I have sent a letter to the Taishi to explain the benefits and disadvantages clearly, I believe that the Taishi will know what to do, at least he will give me an explanation." ”

Zhen Niang hummed softly, leaned on him, and quietly listened to his heartbeat, Gu Wei looked at the night, and her bright eyes were a little confused.
