Chapter 126: Cao Yun
Zhuang Lijue didn't notice Princess Rongxian's emotions, for him, the unimportant person is no matter how gentle he is on the surface, after all, it is a layer worse, the person he went to find is Lu Junfeng, the relationship between Lu Junfeng and Liu Moyan Duan Jinrui is not clear, but Zhuang Lijue has some guesses, after all, he put all his mind on Duan Jinrui, anyone who approaches Duan Jinrui, he will find out the other party clearly, and there can be no danger or opportunity.
The most important thing is that Liu Moyan took advantage of Duan Jinrui's absence to tell him that there was something left in Lu Junfeng's hands that could help Duan Jinrui, but he didn't like Liu Moyan very much, Zhuang Lijue still came, he didn't know why the other party didn't directly ask Duan Jinrui for credit, but turned him around such a big bend, but he believed that Liu Moyan would not be a fool, let alone want to harm Duan Jinrui.
Lu Junfeng's identity in the capital is a big businessman, a very capable businessman, when Zhuang Lijue came to him, he was amusing a young man, the other party's face was blushing, and Lu Junfeng was not light, but he was held in Lu Junfeng's arms, one struggled, the other did not let go, and it looked like a bully.
"It seems that it's not the right time to disturb Lu Gongzi's Yaxing!"
Zhuang Lijue said with a smile, but his eyes were cold, Lu Junfeng stayed in the mansion, he thought that the other party was dealing with something important, but after a long time, he was here to do something that people looked down on.
Lu Junfeng regretfully let go of the hands that restrained the young man, and sighed helplessly: "Hey, the uninvited guest is here, Yue'er, I just joked with you, you don't have to worry, you also know my heart for you."
"It's almost noon, you go back to dinner first, the housekeeper should be ready."
There was a hint of stubbornness between the young man's gorgeous eyebrows and eyes, he snorted coldly, turned around and left without saying a word, and his delicate side face happened to be reflected in the eyes of Zhuang Lijue who came from the opposite side.
Zhuang Lijue glanced at the young man more, because of the slight similarity between the other party's eyebrows that made him unhappy, Lu Junfeng quietly poured a glass of wine and sent it to Zhuang Lijue: "What, Lord Zhuang is interested in the love of the next person*?" “
With a cold snort, Zhuang Lijue took the wine, the jade-colored cup did not come close to his lips, but turned around in his hand, but the wine in the cup rippled but never overflowed: "Don't worry, like that, I really never look down on it!" “
Lu Junfeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"I wonder if you're looking for it?"
Zhuang Lijue didn't really look down on Lu Junfeng because of his sleek appearance, put down the cup, and stared at the other party's playful eyes: "Ming people don't say secret words, you and I are both people who support the prince, and now, it's time to come forward to collect sincerity for His Royal Highness......"
"Whew~"
Lu Junfeng exhaled and drank all the wine in his cup: "This is embarrassing for you......"
Zhuang Lijue spread out his palm, and in the palm of his hand, lying quietly was a string of wooden beads that Liu Moyan had never left his body.
Lu Junfeng's eyes flickered, and then he smiled: "Since Lord Zhuang is so sincere, I can't let you go home empty-handed, please come with me!" “
Liu Moyan once said that he would give Lu Junfeng a big gift, and that big gift was the two-tier tax that Jiangnan Caoyun and this year dedicated to the officials in the capital, and the two-tier tax is a lot, especially in the rich land of Jiangnan, no matter who gets it, they can have a lot of money, whether it is doing business or accumulating power, it is like a tiger with wings.
Most of the taxes were swallowed by Lu Junfeng, and in the end, he would naturally find an opportunity to use it on Duan Jinrui.
The most important thing is Caoyun, which can communicate between the north and the south and cut off the bloodline of grain and grass foreign aid. No matter who wants to rebel against the palace or even invade by foreign tribes, in fact, the fastest way is the waterway, before, no one was deeply aware of it, and in the future, it may not be.
Jiangnan Caoyun has always been controlled by the Salt Gang, and the principal of the Salt Gang is the nail that Liu Moyan has buried the deepest, a nail that has been secretly buried since he was reborn.
Zhuang Lijue imagined what kind of things Liu Moyan had arranged, but he still gasped for this hand, and then, he was ambitious, and he would not be worse than Liu Moyan.
Mu Wuxuan was helping Duan Jinrong contact those useful forces and make plans, and Zhuang Lijue was playing a loyal minister in front of the emperor, not only did he not firmly control the right to control the palace forbidden army in his hands, but he was more negligent, busy sharing worries for the emperor, and inquiring about the whereabouts of the prince, so that the suspicious and cautious emperor secretly put his mind at ease and put more eyes on the capital.
This attention, Duan Jinrong naturally couldn't hide some small actions from his eyes, Mu Wucheng also sent some news in a timely manner, Duan Jinrong was contacting his cronies, secretly bribing all the ministers, just when the time was ripe, he would sit on the throne of the prince, Duan Jinrong's good calculation was what everyone expected.
The emperor is most afraid of the expectations of the people, especially the expectations of someone who does not belong to the emperor, Duan Muheng is extremely angry, like a beast that has been violated by the territory, but he is also more assured, this son who restrains Duan Jinrui is still so ambitious and talented, and the position of the prince is really taken by him in this way? If the crown prince can stand up, he can naturally abolish it.
Duan Jinrong's own frequent actions, coupled with the news from the people sent by Duan Muheng to search for Duan Jinrui, Duan Jinrui's disappearance does have a great relationship with Duan Jinrong, Duan Muheng no longer wants to save some face for Duan Jinrong or anything like that, whether it is public or private, this son has disappointed him too much.
Duan Muheng applied for several ministers in the court within a few days, and there were no major problems with the government affairs in their hands before, but now, the problem is bigger, because these people are more or less involved with Duan Jinrong, for a while, Duan Jinrong's face in the court was greatly damaged, and he jumped up and down since the news of Duan Jinrui's disappearance was officially transmitted, and he became more and more embarrassed to make people laugh.
And Nalan Mingxiu, who is the imperial concubine, should have been Duan Jinrong's major dependence, but also because of the emperor's application, he was demoted to a higher rank, from the high imperial concubine, to become a concubine, the mother is more expensive than the son, and the son is also expensive to the mother, the difference between one word is worlds apart, the imperial concubine justifiably acts as the queen to deal with the affairs of the harem, and the concubine is just a concubine with a higher taste, and she is the concubine of the princes.
At this point, everyone understood the emperor's thoughts, and the words of the re-established prince, which had been faintly flowing in the court, quietly disappeared a lot.
