Chapter 132: Middle and High is also a warning

Wang Yan instructed Li Sheng to return to the palace with Wan Guifei first, but he stopped, he was waiting for Huo Yanqing not far away. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Wang Yan really wanted to know what Huo Yanqing was here for.

Huo Yanqing twisted his eyebrows, and slowly walked in front of Wang Yan with a complicated expression.

Wang Yan also squinted his eyes, and looked at Huo Yanqing with a sneer on the corner of his lips, the two had heard of the dispute in the court, Huo Yanqing, who had always regarded himself as a famous family, how could he look down on Wang Yan, who was a powerful minister and eunuch?

It seems that the mismatch between the two is innate, no matter what ...... The court is still a woman.

However, there are also some similarities between the two.

At least the preference, and the ability to do things are on par.

Wang Yande Zhu Jianshen trusted to open up the West Factory, and Huo Yanqing became the commander of Jinyiwei, the time of the two was comparable, the so-called equal, the dispute was also hidden and turbulent, and it was rare to fight head-on.

is also Zhu Jianshen's left and right hands, from the perspective of imperial power, the emperor is very happy to see it, and there are thousands of ways to govern the country, but everything remains the same, just like crossing the bridge with a bowl of water.

Pay attention to the art of balance.

Although the two of them were talking, there were already several rounds of hostility in their affectionate eyes, coupled with the confrontation in Fu Mingxian's Lingtang at the beginning.

I'm afraid, it's not that simple.

After a long time, Wang Yanrao raised his eyebrows with interest, "Lord Huo seems to have something?"

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have made a special trip to find an excuse to leave the palace from the emperor's side. ”

Today in Fu Guogong's Mansion, Concubine Wan Guifei forced Huo Yanqing to marry for Fu Minghuan, Wang Yan's eyes flashed with a chill, and he only felt very funny.

It seems that the women of Fu Guogong's Mansion all like Huo Yanqing very much, Fu Mingxian in the past, and Fu Minghuan now, it seems to be ...... Huo Yanqing is indescribably good.

It's a pity that Huo Yanqing doesn't know how to cherish it.

I missed the opportunity.

However, Wang Yan still chose to open his mouth, Wan Guifei also gave some face and made concessions, Huo Yanqing came to him, and he couldn't escape this matter.

Wang Yan asked knowingly, just to see Huo Yanqing's reaction.

It's really the same, the same indifference.

It was exactly the same as when I saw Fu Mingxian's body in Lan'an Pavilion.

Feelings are the most difficult thing to say clearly, even if Wang Yan doesn't want to admit it, he has to admit that for Huo Yanqing, he actually has a little jealousy in his heart, after all, Huo Yanqing doesn't do anything, he has all the feelings that Ah Xian once had.

How could he not care?

It's just that he hides it in his heart and never says it.

Although his heart hurts, it is not worth replacing Fu Mingxian.

In the scorching time, Huo Yanqing had already walked in front of Wang Yan, his eyebrows twisted, "Lord Wang, what do you mean by speaking today?"

"It seems that Lord Wang is nosy first. ”

"This seat has solved the crisis of Lord Huo. ”

"Shouldn't Lord Huo be grateful to this seat?" Wang Yan raised his eyebrows thoughtfully and looked at Huo Yanqing, "Or is Lord Huo blaming this seat and ruining your good deeds, Lord Huo?"

"That's right, it's not the first time this kind of thing has happened. ”

Wang Yan pursed his lips, he had fought in secret many times, and the two of them could be regarded as bright-eyed, and it was the first time that the arrows and crossbows on the bright side were pulled.

Huo Yanqing's eyes sank, "Even if Lord Wang didn't speak, it might not be a crisis. ”

"Lose both? Or Lord Huo just wants to refuse and welcome, why not marry Miss Five?"

Wang Yan didn't stop, "The fifth miss is indeed outstanding, and there is the Wan family behind her, but Master Huo can forget that she is also surnamed Fu and is also from the Fu Mansion." ”

Wang Yan's words were filled with anger.

"I don't need Lord Wang to interfere in my affairs in the future, your kindness is understood. Huo Yanqing's thin lips opened lightly.

"Help you?" Wang Yan sneered, "Lord Huo seems to be too worried. ”

Wang Yan raised his eyes, "Wang Yan is the person next to the noble concubine, and everything she does is for the sake of the mother, but she just doesn't want the mother and the emperor to be difficult." ”

Huo Yanqing's face changed slightly, he stopped talking, and turned to leave.

Wang Yan always had a smile on his lips, and he should be smiling, because Huo Yanqing at this moment is very much like ...... Angry.

"Overseer, there's news. When Wang Yan was fiddling with the jade wrench on his thumb, Li Sheng suddenly whispered to Wang Yan's side, "Fourth Master Fu has moved." ”

Wang Yan pursed his lips, "Keep an eye on it." ”

……

In the small courtyard of the corner alley, Lu Lijiu was dressed in a python pattern before he could take off the official mansion, so he stood in this crowd.

This small courtyard was carefully prepared by Xu Youzhen, who had been letting go of his power over the years and gradually retreating to the court in his spare time, so he relied on raising flowers and plants here to pass the time.

It can be regarded as leisure in old age.

The small courtyard building is ingenious, the underground leads to the hot springs, and the earth dragon is paved, warm in winter and cool in summer, which can be regarded as worth 10,000 gold.

Lu Lijiu pursed his lips, his eyes did not look too much, but waited intently for the summoned person to appear.

"Lord Lu, the master will be here soon, and the slave will go down first. The guide took Lu Lijiu to the bamboo and wood corridor and left, and after a while, Xu Youzhen's figure slowly appeared in front of Lu Lijiu.

"You're here. Lu Lijiu gave his hand, but did not bow down, now his identity, there is no need to bow to the person in front of him, coupled with the relationship between the two, no one in the court knows that Lu Lijiu is Xu Youzhen's protégé.

The gift of master and apprentice does not need to be surprising.

Xu Youzhen has a childish face, she is already a rare grade, except for the white silver threads on her temples, her body is slightly rickety, but it has no effect at all, Xu Youzhen glanced at Lu Lijiu up and down, and then smiled gently, "Is Neiko okay?"

Speaking of Zhao Wanrong, Lu Lijiu's eyes showed a trace of regret, "I'm afraid it's ......"

"The disease that came out of the womb can't be cured. ”

Xu Youzhen nodded contemplatively, "I have had a lot of people send rare medicinal materials, if you need it, you can report your name and go to the treasury to get it." ”

"Thank you, sir. Lu Lijiu bowed his hand and continued to wait for Xu Youzhen to speak.

"Those medicinal materials are useless to put there, it is better to use them for you to do useful things, if I don't need them, then the medicinal materials are not precious to me. ”

Xu Youzhen raised her eyebrows, "The words seem to be far away, and I called you here to ask about your situation." ”

"Is the affairs of the military department tricky? I haven't had time to congratulate you on your promotion. ”

Lu Lijiu shook his head, "There is nothing abnormal, everything is proceeding in an orderly manner according to the original procedure." ”

"The old man's vision is not wrong, you are really a talent, and now the emperor also trusts you well, and it is not easy to occupy a place in the court with the separation of powers. Xu Youzhen's eyes flashed, "Although there is the convenience of the old man, your ability is also indelible." ”

"Is there anything important?" Lu Lijiu was a little puzzled about what Xu Youzhen wanted to find him, although he was pulled up by Xu Youzhen, but Xu Youzhen never interfered in his affairs in court politics, and acquiesced to Lu Lijiu's dominance.

Lu Lijiu raised his eyes, and his deep gaze directly met Xu Youzhen's glittering eyes, "Then...... What do you mean?"

Xu Youzhen smiled, retracted his gaze, and turned to look at the flower garden he was serving, "When you shouldn't listen, don't listen, when you shouldn't look, don't look, and when you shouldn't say, don't speak." ”

"For a long time, although I have hundreds of protégés, I always value you the most, I hope you don't disappoint your teacher. ”

Lu Lijiu's heart sank, and his sword eyebrows suddenly wrinkled.

"What do you mean?"

"In his place, and in his own right. Xu Youzhen suddenly put down the kettle, held the delicate peony in his right hand, and with a touch of his wrist, the peony flower had already broken away from the flower stalk and entered the palm of Xu Youzhen's hand.

"No matter how well the flower blooms, if it leaves its roots, it will not have long to live, and you are still young, and you still have many things to learn. ”

"Do you understand?" Xu Youzhen was still smiling, but Lu Lijiu felt that the invisible pressure was pressing his nerves.

When Fang was folding flowers, Lu Lijiu felt an obvious killing intent from Xu Youzhen's body......

Such a smiling Xu Youzhen is the most frightening and jealous, because of such a person, you can never see his joys, sorrows, and sorrows, let alone find his weaknesses.

Fang Cai's killing intent was deliberately revealed by Xu Youzhen, in order to give himself a warning.

Xu Youzhen took the folded flower to insinuate to him that if there was no Xu Youzhen, no matter how glorious Lu Lijiu was, he would only be alone, and it was likely to become an epiphany, which could only bloom for a short time.

But...... Lu Lijiu did not have a conflict with Xu Youzhen, he just came out of the palace, and he had reported to the emperor before......

Lu Lijiu's eyebrows tightened, and the Ministry of War reported that Shi Heng, the prince of Zhongguo, sold illicit salt and had a lot of power in the coastal area.

Trafficking in illicit salt......

The government monopolizes the operation of salt and iron, and taxes are used at a price, so that the people cannot avoid taxation, curb private financial resources, and ensure the private salt channel for people's livelihood.

Since the Spring and Autumn Period Qi State Guan Zhong put forward the "Guanshan Hai" policy, all dynasties have monopoly control over the operation of salt and iron, and salt tax and iron tax have also become important channels for the source of gold and silver in the treasury.

However, if someone sells illicit salt, it is a felony, and the conviction is based on the amount of illicit salt.

If Shi Heng is implicated, does it mean that there are other ministers in the DPRK and China who have also participated?

I'm afraid the crime will not be light.

Lu Lijiu looked at Xu Youzhen with complicated eyes.

He just came out of the Qinzheng Palace on the front foot, and Xu Youzhen on the back foot already knew the content of his report to the emperor.

watched Xu Youzhen withdraw from the government, but in fact, he has always been in the government, and even the emperor has his eyes and ears.

The people around the emperor are eunuchs except for Jinyiwei, but they are Huo Yanqing and Wang Yan's people, and Xu Youzhen can also wipe them.

After Cao Jixiang's death, the decline of the East Factory was directly annexed by Wang Yan of the West Factory, and on the surface, the power became a separation of powers, but in fact, after all, Xu Youzhen was better, even if it was an old plan.

What's more important is that Xu Youzhen is warning Lu Lijiu not to meddle in things, since he was able to push Lu Lijiu to the position of the secretary of the military department, then he could pull it down without much effort.

For Xu Youzhen, no matter how strong Lu Lijiu's ability is, it is just like a peony flower without the ability to resist, and it is easy for him to pinch him.

The atmosphere was somewhat solemn.

Even though Lu Lijiu had been prepared at the beginning, he was still shocked by Xu Youzhen's methods.

In the end, Xu Youzhen is not simple, and it is indeed not simple to be the first assistant of the cabinet to cover the sky with one hand.

Xu Youzhen patted Lu Qianjiu's shoulder, and handed the peony flower that had just been broken in his hand to his palm, "Even though there are many affairs in the military department, your wife is critically ill and needs to be taken care of." ”

"Stay with her properly. ”

Xu Youzhen once again became an old man who was idle and retreated to the mountains and forests, with his hands behind his back, and slowly walked towards the inner room.

"Let's go back. Xu Youzhen no longer looked at the expression on Lu Lijiu's face, and said without looking back.

The hand holding the peony flower was slowly raised, until the eye was over, Lu Lijiu twisted his eyebrows and suddenly clenched the peony flower in his hand, the petals spread out along the palm of his hand, and Lu Lijiu turned to leave.

Xu Youzhen, who had been observing the long-term reaction of the landing in the inner room, chuckled and shook his head, "Young people always have some whimsical ideas, and they have impossible dreams, and I don't know whether they are good or bad." ”

A figure slowly walked out of the screen in the inner room, and the sunlight outside the window shone on the person's face, which was the clear appearance.

Shi Heng looked at Xu Youzhen with a sneer, "When he reaches your age, he will truly understand the meaning of those words that you taught him." ”

"But......" Shi Heng gritted his teeth, "is he really available?"

The smile on Xu Youzhen's face did not decrease, "Available for the time being." ”

Shi Heng suddenly burst out laughing, "I understand what to do, thank you Lord Xu for helping to resolve the crisis." ”

Xu Youzhen waved his hand and smiled softly, "Zhongguo Gong's words of gratitude, the old man is ashamed, Lu Lijiu is just one of them." ”

"Zhongguo Gong still has to worry about himself. ”

It's not just Lu Lijiu who is investigating Xu Youzhen, but also ...... Wang Yan!(To be continued.) )
