Lin Yuben was hesitant about whether to enter Beijing, he wanted to keep his promise to his mother, but thinking about his young age, he was sheltered and cared for by Uncle Di, and now that the old man has passed away, he is close at hand and does not go to mourn, and finally broke his promise to enter Beijing.

Di Yu is seventy years old, and it is not unfortunate to enjoy this life with an injured body, not to mention that he was still in southern Liaoning when he was already lingering on the sickbed, and he died at this time, and everyone did not feel sudden.

When the Han saw that Zhi Yanchong didn't have to talk about the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, but he was the only one who talked about the love of his uncle and nephew, and when he arrived at Ouyang Shi as the general speaker, he was already a little cowering when he saw Zhi Yanchong, and finally he couldn't do it as well as Di Yu to be generous and balanced with a heart of inaction, and sit high and watch the government. It is precisely because of Di Yu's high and special status that although he thought that the war was requiring everything to be simple, the funeral was still very grand, and the Yuan National Standing Committee held a meeting specifically for this matter, and the officials in Beijing were qualified to enter the door to mourn, and even the queen, the prince, the princess, and the prime minister also came.

Lin Yu hid outside, waiting for the royal chariot to leave before appearing and entering the door, when the doorman sang his name, the audience was all watching, thinking: "He's here, I don't know if he's here." ”

At this time, among the seven generals of the Han Dynasty, only Ouyang Shi was left in Beijing, so he led the funeral, but when Lin Yu came in, he did not see Ouyang Shi, he greeted Di Yu's widow Zhang, and asked the two uncles (Di Yu's son) casually: "Didn't the fourth uncle come?" ”

Di Yu's eldest son, Di Lan, said: "The fourth brother is crying in the back." As he spoke, he led Lin Yu to Di Yu's coffin at the back of the mourning hall, and saw Ouyang Shi wearing linen and filial piety, holding the coffin with one hand, and sitting there with his head drooping. Di Lan led Lin Yu in and went out, Lin Yu came over to ask for gifts, Ouyang Shi woke up with a sigh, saw Lin Yu, and said vaguely: "Oh, it's you, you're back." ”

Lin Yu said: "It seems that the fourth uncle is tired during this time. ”

Ouyang Shi nodded and said, "Yes, it's very tiring." After saying these two sentences, he got rid of his confusion and asked Lin Yu: "You are too reckless this time!" Although it is for filial piety, I don't look at what the situation is! Fortunately, he came back safely, if something happens in the south, but what should you do! ”

Lin Yu didn't dare to refute, but said: "The fourth uncle has learned a lesson." ”

Ouyang Shi said again: "I heard that you have only arrived in Tanggu not long ago?" ”

Lin Yu said: "I didn't go ashore for two days, and when I heard the news of Grandpa Di's death, I felt sad, and I rushed here after leaving the matter in Tanggu. ”

Ouyang Shi asked again: "What about you?" Did you hear from him when you came back? ”

Lin Yu's heart tightened, afraid that Ouyang Shi would ask this because something had happened to Yang Yingqi, so he hurriedly said, "No! I haven't contacted my dad yet, Uncle Si, nothing happened to him, right? ”

"No, no." Ouyang Shi patted him on the shoulder and said, "I just asked casually." He also said: "Your Lao Tzu is in Jinmen, and you should come after hearing the news, and then your father and son can meet." He also said: "You are smart, and you have read books, you will learn more from your Lao Tzu in the future, you Lao Tzu is the founding prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and you will be a peaceful prime minister in the future, that is another good story." ”

Lin Yu bowed his head and said: "I don't want to be an official, I have such a lazy nature, if I become an official, I have to spoil the country's major affairs, let alone the prime minister." ”

Ouyang Shi was surprised and said, "You don't want to be the prime minister?" So what are you going to do? ”

Lin Yu said: "My mother left me a lot of money, and I don't have to do anything, relying on this money is enough to get away for a lifetime." ”

Ouyang Shi shook his head and said, "Why are you so unambitious?" And he said, "Do you want to do business?" Silly boy, let me tell you, there is no future in business, and you still have to have power in the world to keep your wealth and wealth......"

Before he finished speaking, Lin Yu had already said: "Fourth uncle, Grandpa Di is not far away, next to his coffin, I don't want to talk about this." ”

Ouyang Shi also felt that it was not appropriate for him to talk about this, and he was embarrassed for a while and said: "Your Grandpa Chen is in the side hall outside, have you made incense?" If you go to see him on incense, he will have something to say to you. ”

Lin Yu asked, "Which Grandpa Chen?" ”

Ouyang Shi said: "My father-in-law, Chen Fengshan. ”

Lin Yu sighed and said, "Okay, when I come back this time, I should report my safety to the elders." As he spoke, he came out, and when he arrived in the side hall, he asked the elders who came to mourn one by one, and when he arrived at Chen Fengshan's side, he was no different from others, only saying one more sentence "My grandfather asked me to greet your old man on his behalf", which was not at all for business, Chen Fengshan was not easy to speak in front of everyone, but invited Lin Yu to his house for a gathering at night, Lin Yu said: "Grandpa Di is like my own grandfather to me, and I want to keep a wake for him tonight." After saying that, he went outside, changed into filial piety clothes, and knelt behind the Dilhan brothers.

Chen Fengshan touched the soft nail, and was very unhappy in his heart, but he couldn't help him, so he came out and went around to the back of the mourning hall, and saw that Ouyang Shi was the only one there, so he stepped forward and called "virtuous son-in-law".

Ouyang Shi saw him and asked, "Did Lin Yu go to find you?" ”

Chen Fengshan snorted: "This kid! Looks like they won't help! ”

Ouyang Shi said: "Naturally, you can't talk about it here, didn't you make another appointment with him?" ”

"How not! But he pushed it! ”

Chen Fengshan said something about Lin Yu's situation when he saw him, and Ouyang Shi frowned when he heard it: "This stinky boy! When he was a child, he was well-behaved, why did he start to get infected with his stinky temper now that he was older! ”

Chen Fengshan said: "Now we are burning eyebrows!" I don't know who came up with the bad idea! To use this money to subsidize military spending! Isn't that killing us? Virtuous son-in-law! You've got to get an idea! If it drags on for another month, our foundation in Nanyang will be taken over! ”

Ouyang Shi said angrily: "Who dares to take over!" ”

Chen Fengshan said: "Virtuous son-in-law, since the imperial court has continuously withdrawn the power of the sailors, our power in the East China Sea and the South Seas has not been as good as before. Wen is like Yu Yunwen, Wu is like Li Shifu, these people don't buy our account at all! On the route from Tanggu to Daiyu, at least seven or eight of our ships have now stopped lowering their sails to give way, and we have no exclusive monopoly on spices south of Liuqiu. Now there are several merchants with large financial resources who are contacting the Lin family, and they will take over just waiting for the Lin family to release the contract. I want them to give them another six months, and although they allow us to repay only the principal and not the interest, they are only willing to give us another month's grace, but in the middle of a month, unless the household department is willing to let go, how can I raise this money? ”

Ouyang Shi said: "Have you found Chen Zhenghui?" What did he say? ”

Chen Fengshan said: "Chen Zhenghui has already looked for it, but he said that his power in the Prime Minister's Mansion has been greatly reduced now, and he only has the share of financial management under orders, and how the money and silver should be allocated depends on Liu Cao's face!" I have inquired and it is true that this money has been withheld by Lu Yanlun. Lu Yanlun is in the Daimyo's Mansion and is in charge of the front-line soldiers' rations, where can I find him? ”

Ouyang Shi was indignant and said, "I really shouldn't have come back in the first place!" You should not covet the false name of the Speaker! As for the responsibility of building the capital, it should not be accepted! The boss has become unfaithful! For the sake of his own meritorious deeds, he doesn't care about the life or death of his brother! In fact, he didn't have the courage to break with Zhe and Yang openly at the beginning, and he thought that he was invincible, so he chose to compromise in the north, but at this time he encountered great difficulties, and naturally felt that it was better to give it a go.

Chen Fengshan sighed: "Virtuous son-in-law, it's useless to talk too much about the past, it's better to think about how to deal with the aftermath." ”

"Aftermath!" Although Ouyang Shi didn't dare to shout loudly, he suppressed his anger in a deep voice: "How can I deal with the aftermath now?" He is unkind to me and unjust! I think we should find a way to pierce all the window paper, and everyone will break it up! ”

Chen Fengshan heard what he said cruelly, and stepped forward and said, "Actually, someone is willing to lend a sum of money recently, but I don't dare to accept it yet." If we can get this money, we can support it for two more years, get through this hurdle, and the next road will be easy! ”

Ouyang Shi sighed and asked, "What is it?" ”

Chen Fengshan whispered: "It has something to do with the real case." ”

Ouyang Shi was taken aback, the judicial system of the Han Dynasty has gradually gained the right to independence under the promotion of Di Yu, Yang Yingqi and the efforts of Li Jie and others. Needless to say in the capital, even in Zhending, there is also a place for investigators to live, and that is the Cao Mansion of Lingshou. Cao Liu's family has been quite concerned about the local people's livelihood since he arrived in Lingshou, and took the initiative to help after knowing this, Liu Cao and others did not dare to harass Cao Fu no matter how lawless they were, and after Cao Fu took root in Zhending, the local people gradually trusted Cao Liu's family, and slowly began to dare to speak. It is said that the investigators have already had quite sufficient evidence at this time, but they are just worried about the overall situation and hide it, but as long as the time is right to disclose it, Liu Cao and others will probably collapse no matter how favored they are.

Now that several factions in the DPRK and China are fighting openly and secretly, and this case is widely implicated, Ouyang Shi was naturally shocked when he heard it, and after a long time, he said in a low voice: "The evidence is indeed with me at the moment, but ...... But if I want to destroy it...... No way! No way! If I did, I would have to follow suit! ”

Chen Fengshan said: "They actually know that this matter is extremely difficult, so they made up their minds to abandon the pawn and protect the car from the beginning, as long as there are some moth-eaten spots on those evidence, some ink stains, and a few names are lost, and then a few mouths are blocked, and a few important people are saved." ”

Ouyang Shi held Di Yu's coffin and muttered, "This ......"

Chen Fengshan said: "Now for this Han and Song Dynasty war, the world's businessmen are not having a good time, the ten ** properties of the big family have shrunk, and the number of bankrupts is not less." After waiting for a while, at the beginning of the market to be bullish again, most of the funds in the hands of the major families will not be much left. If we can survive until then, with the foundation of the spice waterway in the south and the huge arrears to be repaid by the household department in the north, we will be able to buy all kinds of industries on a large scale, and our net worth will be doubled in three or five years. But if we can't survive this hurdle and have no money to spare, then even if you keep the position of Speaker General of the Yuan National Assembly, it will be just an empty title! ”

Ouyang Shi closed his eyes, his fingers were forceful, he didn't expect that he was pinching Di Yu's coffin, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!" I'm trying to figure out how to keep a few of them. ”

Chen Fengshan was overjoyed and said: "If the virtuous son-in-law is willing to help, then I will talk to them!" The people involved in this case are willing to break their homes to prevent disasters in order to save their lives. Needless to say, Liu Cao heard that Lu Yanlun was also involved. Now that they are in a position of power, it is not difficult to come up with this money. If we can use this money to recover the Spice Channel, then the arrears returned by the household department will be purely earned! So saying, he went out.

After listening to his father-in-law's last analysis, Ouyang Shi also felt that this business was very worthwhile, and said in his heart: "Heavy soldiers in troubled times, heavy wealth in the world!" As long as the world is peaceful, the power of the Yuan National Assembly will definitely grow! I'm in a high position and I have money in my hands, but I'm afraid I won't be able to buy more than half of the seats in the National Assembly? At that time, I didn't care who was in charge of the Prime Minister's Mansion, or even whether Yunwu sat or Yunwen sat on the dragon chair! As long as I control the Yuan National Assembly and use the Yuan National Assembly to control the country, then I will be the Emperor of the Han Dynasty! The eldest brother and the sixth brother have worked so hard to become a wedding dress made for me! If things go well, in five years I will get back ten times more than what I lost! ”

He couldn't help but smile when he thought of the wonders, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Di Yu's wrinkled face in the coffin, and sighed: "Uncle Di, you didn't catch up with the time, you really wasted the position of the general speaker. But don't worry, if I can get his will, I will help you take care of Dilhan and them. ”

He was complacent, and suddenly there was a stir outside, this is the mourning hall, no one dares to make a loud noise, but because hundreds of people are whispering at the same time, the added sound fills the entire space like hundreds of mosquitoes buzzing together in a pocket, Ouyang Shi was awakened by this voice, and said in his heart: "Who is here?" ”

Hundreds of people inside and outside the mourning hall whispered together, and when they found that the sound was too loud, everyone stopped talking together, and then the mourning hall turned from noisy to quiet in an instant, and a cry that Ouyang Shi was very familiar with came from far and near, and it seemed that a person rushed in, crying all the way.

Ouyang Shi was stunned for a moment, thinking, "Could it be him?" How could he come so quickly? When he walked to the front, he saw a middle-aged scholar crying and falling to the ground, the Dilhan brothers fell in front of him to help cry in response, and Lin Yu supported the scholar while stroking his back for him, and shouted repeatedly: "Daddy!" You mourn! Don't cry! ”
