Chapter 286: Prime Minister

"Well," Nan Kaoru nodded, agreeing with Yan Shao's opinion, "It's really possible, I'll pay attention!" ”

"Alright, so be it, nothing else!?" Yan Shao turned his head and asked Xiang Nan Xun, as if he was deliberately asking Nan Xun, as if he wanted Nan Xun to explain something.

Nan Xun thought about it and said: "No, what else can there be, isn't what I just said strict enough!?" ”

"Well," Yan Shao nodded, "I heard that you have a business cooperation with Xiang Mingxuan!?" ”

"Right?" Nan Xun secretly said in his heart, it turned out that this was the case, "What's the matter, isn't that Xiang Ming Xuan also a member of our business alliance, cooperating with him is a mutually beneficial thing, and besides, Xiang Ming Xuan is also very famous in the West Market, which is very good for enhancing the reputation of our Yunnan Qing tea." ”

"That being said, but as far as I know, this Xiangmingxuan has a lot to do with Shangshu Mansion, you pay attention, don't lose your wife and soldiers when the time comes, and you will be empty of people and money."

"Oh?!" Nan Xun pretended to be in a trance, "I see, thank you for reminding me, I will pay attention, but everyone has already reached an agreement, it is not good for me to quit suddenly, after all, everyone is a member of the alliance, this has to let other members know, and I will definitely say that I Nan Xun is untrustworthy." ”

Nan Xun naturally wouldn't sever the connection with Xiang Mingxuan, which was established with great difficulty, so he said these high-sounding words, but these reasons are indeed true, and anyone who hears these will feel that this is indeed the case.

Yan Shao said: "I didn't say that you should cut off business with Xiang Mingxuan, but I just asked you to pay more attention when doing business, so as not to get into their way." ”

"Don't worry about this, even if Xiang Mingxuan is not related to Sun Youli, I will be very careful, after all, business is too mysterious, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the pit and lose your capital."

Nam Kaoru is telling the truth, no matter who you do business with, it is better to be cautious, this is not to say that your business partner will cheat you. Rather, there are many things in the business, and if you don't believe in each other, the business will be profitable. There are many other factors involved that need to be considered.

"Well, I'm just reminding you, since you know it yourself, then I don't have much more to say. Don't leave it at that, I'll pay more attention to the matter of the three princes, if there's really something wrong, we have to find a way to make up for it as soon as possible! ”

It seems that Yan Shao is also very concerned about the affairs of the three princes, and it is right to think about it, after all, he is the eldest son of the current leader of the Shang Alliance, and it is very likely that he will inherit his father's position as the leader of the alliance in the future. It is inevitable that people will be talked about in the future.

Therefore, Yan Shao is still very concerned about the character of the third prince.

After all, Yang Ganzhen has crossed the river and demolished the bridge in Miaojiang in the southern district, and the business alliance must learn a lesson and focus more on quality, if the quality is not good, even if the business alliance supports its ascension to the throne, then the result will inevitably be the same as that of the southern region. The situation is turbulent, and the people are struggling to make a living.

After all, it was already late, and the two of them finished talking about things and went to rest.

The next day. Nan Xun got the news that the three princes were going to build a large number of buildings and build the emperor's mausoleum.

Nan Xun sighed in his heart, sure enough, this fangs are still slowly, no. It was quickly revealed, it was only a few days after he ascended the throne, and he began to be busy building the emperor's mausoleum, you must know that Mingzong didn't do such a thing when he was there, and the third prince had just ascended the throne to build a large number of buildings, which was really inappropriate.

Nan Xun came to the general's mansion again and asked the general if this was true.

The general said: "That's true, alas, no one can dissuade this matter, after all, the construction of the mausoleum is indeed a big deal for the royal family, and the emperor said that now the country is rich and the people are strong, it is a good time to build the emperor's mausoleum, and also said that the first emperor Mingzong was diligent and thrifty when he was alive, and built the emperor's mausoleum, so that Mingzong can enjoy the glory and wealth that he has not enjoyed before,......"

Nan Xun frowned and said, "This reason is not sufficient, it seems to be a little too far-fetched." ”

"There's no way, now the emperor can't listen to what anyone says, and he wants to complete this matter wholeheartedly......"

"The third prince, no, the emperor, this seems to be a little anxious to show his talents," Nan Xun said, "It seems that he wants to use this incident to announce that this world is finally his, and he can do whatever he wants." ”

"yes......"

Nan Xun said: "Then dare to ask the general, did the old prime minister say anything?" ”

The general shook his head and said: "The old prime minister didn't say anything, just said that he had already withdrawn from the court, don't ask him about these things, and the old prime minister has now set off to return to his hometown, and in the future, in Luoyang City, the old prime minister will no longer be seen." “

The general said, his tone was full of emotion, after all, the two of them have worked together for many years, and seeing that the old prime minister finally returned to his hometown, the general must not have a taste in his heart.

Nan Xun opened his mouth and asked: "Then, have the old prime minister's family returned to their hometown, and Li Qingyu and Li Gongzi are also gone?!" ”

"Oh," the general said, "you shouldn't know yet, Li Qingyu has now been summoned into the palace by the emperor and has become a household secretary!" ”

"Huh!?" At this time, Nan Xun was taken aback, "What's the matter, Li Qingyu is an official!?" ”

"That's right, and besides, as soon as it comes up, it is the head of the household, this position is generally a candidate for the future prime minister, the emperor really dares to use people, and he actually sent Li Qingyu to this high position directly, and he is not afraid of falling to death!"

The general is outspoken, and it seems that he is very dissatisfied with Li Qingyu's appointment as the head of the household department.

"This, Li Qingyu has never had any experience, and he was promoted to this position all of a sudden, which will indeed cause a lot of criticism, didn't the ministers say anything!?"

The general sighed and said: "What's the use of saying it, I, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, all said that you can't promote a person like this, but the emperor can't listen to it at all, just insist on going his own way, okay, now the position of the prime minister is still vacant, and if it goes on like this, it is estimated that it won't be long before this Li Qingyu should sit in his father's position." ”

Nan Xun was a little puzzled, and then asked: "In this case, the old prime minister should help Li Qingyu in Luoyang City." Why don't you care about anything and go straight back to your hometown!? ”

"Who knows, it is estimated that he doesn't want Li Qingyu to enter politics, but the emperor's edict has to listen. So, in desperation, I had to leave Luoyang. ”

"Did Li Qingyu say anything!?"

"He," the general snorted coldly, "and what he said was high-sounding. If there is anything that is not good, I also hope that we can tell each other bluntly, and the more I look at it, the more I feel angry. ”

Nan Xun said: "Once a son of heaven and a courtier, the general doesn't have to mind, maybe, then Li Qingyu is really a good official who is sympathetic to the people's feelings, after all, he is also the child of the old prime minister." It's more or less the style of an old prime minister. ”

"I can't see it," the general said, "that Li Qingyu's reputation in Luoyang City is always known, such a person, where does he have a little bit of the appearance of an old prime minister, I think he is an unsuccessful gentleman." ”

"Well," Frost said, agreeing, "yes, everybody knows. Li Qingyu is notoriously popular. Liu, such a person, why did the emperor let him be a scholar!? ”

"Everyone can't understand it, but the emperor has decided something. Who can change that. The general felt helpless, after all, the imperial power was something that no one could challenge.

Nan Xun suddenly thought of a question, so he said: "Is it not, what kind of deal did the third prince and the old prime minister make, I think the old prime minister must know about the death of His Majesty Mingzong." Then in order to stop the old prime minister's mouth, will the third prince directly sue the old prime minister and let the old prime minister resign, and his son Li Qingyu will continue to take over the post of prime minister!? ”

Nan Xun's analysis is very reasonable, which should explain why Mingzong died suddenly, why the old prime minister suddenly resigned, and why Li Qingyu was so appreciated by the emperor.

The general nodded: "It's not unreasonable to analyze like this, it's just that these are just our speculations, and there is no real evidence, you know, without conclusive evidence, none of us can stand up and accuse the emperor, and even if there is conclusive evidence, it is a difficult thing." ”

Nan Xun thought for a while and said: "We can inform the second prince, let him stand up first, and then we will follow, in this way, it is much more reasonable, after all, the second prince is also a prince, if Mingzong was assassinated, he should stand up the most, although he is only a righteous son, but it is also a prince." ”

Speaking of the second prince, he is the adopted son of Mingzong, but he is very good to Mingzong, from the fact that he asked Wen Lao to help train a guard who can protect Mingzong, he has very deep feelings for Mingzong, Mingzong must be the saddest when he passes, especially knowing that Mingzong was killed by someone, then his heart must be even more uncomfortable, so, if there is conclusive evidence, he will definitely point it out, so that the three princes will be exposed.

However, because he is a righteous son, he has always been stationed outside, and like the eldest prince, he rarely returns to Luoyang City, which is why before the rebellion of the eldest prince, there have always been rumors that the eldest prince is not Mingzong's own child, or because the second prince is the righteous son of Mingzong, and the experience with the eldest prince is almost the same, so it gives people the feeling that the eldest prince was also adopted by Mingzong.

Actually, it's just that everyone misunderstood.

The general also thought of the second prince, so he said: "This is okay, led by the second prince, plus there is conclusive evidence, then these three princes will definitely not have a good life, I believe that at that time, hundreds of civil and military officials, and the people of Li will stand up against him." ”

Nan Xun said: "But, where can we find evidence!?" ”

The general sighed: "I hope that Shitong will bring us some surprises." ”

……

A few days later, it looks like the New Year is coming, and this year, Luoyang City can be regarded as having suffered a lot of damage.

Nan Xun looked at the heavy snow outside, thinking that it was the same heavy snow last year, I thought it would be a year of Ruixue Zhaofeng, but I didn't expect Luoyang City to almost have an accident, alas, the so-called unpredictable world, it should be like this.

There was news in the palace that the emperor decreed that the people of the whole city should put up lanterns to celebrate the first New Year of the emperor's succession.

Since it is a holy decree, then everyone must carry it out.

No, Xiao Yi and Xiao Er are busy decorating the door, as soon as the red lantern is hung up, and the silk and satin are put on again, it does look much more festive in an instant, but this festivity really makes people unhappy.

After getting it done, Xiao Yi asked Nan Xun: "Miss, can you see if it's okay!?" ”

"Okay." Nami Kaoru said, "It's good to dress up casually, there's no need to waste too much." ”

"That's okay, Xiao Er come down!"

Xiao Yi shouted, and Xiao Er turned over from the ladder, making Xiao Yi dissatisfied: "Let you come down, you will come down, what are you doing with so many fancy things." ”

Xiao Er said: "It's going down like this." ”

Xiao Yi scolded: "You stinky boy, why don't you go to heaven!?" ”

Nan Xun said: "Okay, don't make trouble, hurry up and prepare things, and after a while, let's go to the General's Mansion to visit and send some congratulatory gifts." ”

"What are you going to prepare!?" Xiaoyi asked.

Nan Xun said: "Whatever you want, anyway, the general and Sister Shuang'er don't care about this, we go is the best gift." ”

As he was talking, Nan Xun saw Yan Shao walk into the pawnshop.

Nan Kaoru asked, "How is it, have you heard anything in the past few days!?" ”

"No," Yan Shao said and sat down at the table, "It's not snowing, I'm idle and have nothing to do to come to you......"

Nan Xun smiled: "By the way, then Li Qingyu made the household book, you know!?" ”

"I know," Yan Shao said, "I went to his celebration banquet a few days ago, not to mention, the son inherits his father's business, and he is indeed a little conscious......"

"Oh!?" Nan Xun said, "This gentleman is qualified for this position?!" ”

"I still say that, this Li Qingyu is definitely not as simple as we think, I always have a feeling that I can't say, I think, this Li Qingyu has been hidden very deeply, even if he is now a household secretary, the enigmatic aura on his body still exists, I feel that he is not very interested in being an official or something."

"I haven't seen him lately, and I don't know what has become of him......"

Yan Shao listened to Nan Xun's words, hahaha smiled and said, "What else can it become, it's still that style!" ”

"Ah, won't you!?" Kaoru was amazed.

Yan Shao said: "What's so surprising, now that he is the head of the household, no one dares to say anything!! (To be continued.) )
