Chapter 0787 - Competing for Favor

Hanzhong and its vicinity are actually very rich in mineral deposits, and Feng Yong studied topological mapping for a semester, and used the map of Hanzhong as the final homework map.

Feng Yong still remembers the several big mines on the top mark very clearly.

Nanxiang has the largest gypsum mine in Asia, as well as large first-class lime reserves, as well as abundant pyrite.

So now Nanxiang is full of smoke during the day and brightly lit at night.

The lead ore in the following debate is actually the lead-zinc ore belt in Chengxian County in later Shishi, the second largest lead ore belt in the country.

Later, according to some unreliable sources, deep underground, this mining belt may extend all the way to Hanzhong, and has the potential to become the largest lead-zinc mine in the country.

Regardless of whether this statement is true or not, even if it is the second largest mine, it is big enough.

Now the copper mine in Nanzhong has begun to produce output, and the timely appearance of the large lead mine is believed to make the prime minister of the Han Dynasty ecstatic.

Located between Nanxiang and Xiabian, Fu County has the greatest potential, because there are many gold mines around it, and one is still the third largest nickel gold mine in the country.

Although he coveted the gold mines in Fu County, Feng Yong never intended to mention it to others before the time was ripe.

As one of the most important precious metals, the gold mine in Fuxian County will inevitably be a bargaining chip for the Dahan Reserve Bureau to stabilize the overall situation in the future.

At the same time, it is also the most important hole card left by Feng Yong.

According to the current abnormal development of capital in Dahan, the backlash will inevitably come one day.

No matter when it comes, in which way, and which force is the first to fight back.

As long as you have enough gold reserves in your hands, you really have to be in a hurry, so it's a big deal to flip the table directly, and then reshuffle the cards.

Let those capital wolves know what the national team is.

Confidence is so straightforward, not pretentious, and willful!

However, when it comes to willfulness, the most qualified is Cao Rui, the emperor of Wei.

After two major defeats, it was only two years before Wei was able to regain his breath.

Although in order to alleviate the pressure on Hebei and Jizhou, a policy of softness towards the Hu people such as Xianbei Wuhuan was adopted.

But because of the Yu Wei of the Han Dynasty, as well as the conquest of the Hu people by Gongsun Zhan, Cao Cao Cao and others in the early years, the Hu people in Mo Nan did not take the opportunity to make trouble.

Let Cao Rui be able to relax and focus on dealing with the west and south.

He even took the opportunity to bypass the important ministers of the court and directly issued military orders to the frontier guards, further tightening his power, and at the same time testing the degree of obedience of the frontier generals to him.

After receiving the rewards of Cao Zhen in Chang'an and Sima Yi in Jingzhou, Cao Rui finally put his mind at ease and began to step up efforts to tighten the power of the DPRK.

In order to prevent turmoil in the DPRK-China situation caused by unfavorable border warfare, as was the case last time.

The case of the Flashy Friends was widely implicated, and many vacancies appeared in various provinces and offices, especially reserve officials, who were mostly held by young talents in the past.

After the case of the Vanity Peng Party, at least half of the officials in Luoyang's various official offices were deposed.

So Cao Rui took the opportunity to promote a new group of officials.

Lian Zhao, a person from Le'an in Yuyang County, Youzhou, is quite talented, and he stood out in this special period and was appointed as Shang Shulang.

On this day, Shang Shuling Chen Jiao had just finished handling government affairs and was about to leave duty, when he saw Shang Shulang Lian Zhao coming in with a volume of documents.

"Chen Shangshu, there is an edict in the palace, and I have to bother you to take a look at this file."

Lian Zhao has a handsome face, elegant conversation, and always has a smile on his face, and people who don't know the details see him, and it is easy to have a good impression of him.

It's just that Chen Jiao, as the chief official of Shangshutai, knows a lot about this person.

Even under his eyes, there was a trace of disgust that the other party would not find out.

After taking the file handed over by Lian Zhao, after just a few glances, Chen Jiao's face changed greatly.

"Lian Shang Shulang, Cao Fan's crime, Dali Temple has been sentenced, why should it be re-investigated?"

Cao Fan was originally Shang Shutai's Shang Shu Zuocheng, and his responsibility was to assist Shang Shuling in handling various affairs of Shang Shutai.

However, a few days ago, he was found to be related to the Flashy Party and friends, and was ordered to be questioned.

Recently, the situation in the DPRK and China has been a little unpredictable, and more importantly, he is Cao Fan's direct commander.

Although Chen Jiao thinks that he has a clear conscience, he is always a little worried in his heart.

Fortunately, Tingwei Gao Rou was an old minister in the era of Emperor Wu, who knew the law and enforced the law fairly, and did not implicate anyone in this matter.

The matter had just passed, and Chen Jiao finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't expect Lian Zhao to want to retry it.

"Chen Shangshu and Cao Fan, although they have pleaded guilty, they have not yet confessed to their friends. What the emperor means is to investigate this person in detail and find out the comrades behind it. ”

Only when Lian Zhao said this, Chen Jiao's heart first jumped, and then a wave of anger rushed straight to his head, making him almost unable to control his emotions.

Accomplice?

What the same party?

Does Your Majesty feel that the flashy case is not widely implicated enough?

He is Shang Shuling, and Cao Fan is Shang Shu Zuo Cheng who assists Shang Shuling, who is a friend?

Looking at the modest smile on Lian Zhao's face, Chen Jiao seemed to see the provocation and pride under the other party's smile.

Just thinking that Lian Zhao could enter and leave the palace freely, which was deeply believed by His Majesty, Chen Jiao had to forcibly endure this breath.

In order not to let the other party see his trembling hands, Chen Jiao had to retract his hands into his sleeve robe.

"Lian Shangshulang, tell me about this matter, I'm afraid that something is wrong, right? If you really want to investigate it, I'm afraid that I will have to avoid suspicion. ”

If he faced His Majesty, Chen Jiao was not afraid of arguing with reason, because he knew that although His Majesty was sometimes paranoid, he was clear about things after all.

Even if he confronts the admonition, His Majesty will not listen to it at most, but he will not blame it afterwards.

Lian Zhao is different.

Although this person is talented, he is a very villain, and he likes to be liked by His Majesty, and he likes to make small mistakes for others, in order to flatter His Majesty.

One of the crimes of the flashy friends is to let servants pretend to be officials, enter and leave forbidden places, and use personal favors to inquire about news.

Therefore, after the flashy case, His Majesty first formulated a strict ban to prevent people from coming and going at will, and at the same time let the forbidden army guard the palace with heavy troops, and now he is increasingly reusing his cronies and close attendants.

Now it is much more difficult for the ministers of the foreign court to meet His Majesty in ordinary times than before.

If you speak inappropriately today, you will inevitably be arranged in front of Your Majesty by this person.

And because he is separated by the heavily guarded palace ban, there is no way to defend himself in front of His Majesty.

Under the intimacy, who knows if His Majesty will be deceived by Lian Zhao for a while?

"Shang Shu makes this a mistake!"

Lian Zhao smiled slightly, and said in a soft voice, "Your Majesty asked the subordinate to present this case to Shang Shuling, which is to believe in Shang Shuling's person." ”

"After all, Your Majesty went to Shangshutai that day, but Shang Shuling stopped His Majesty on the spot, saying that it was not His Majesty's duty to watch the documents, and His Majesty praised Shangshuling's integrity for this!"

When Chen Jiao heard this, he finally understood in his heart: This Lian Zhao was only afraid that he heard this, and then he was greedy in front of His Majesty?

Before he could figure out how to deal with it, he saw Lian Zhao arch his hand again, "Actually, Xia Guan also admires Shang Shuling very much, and can speak so bluntly to advise Your Majesty." ”

Chen Jiao was stunned and found that things seemed to be a little different from what he imagined.

"It's just that Shang Shuling's actions as a direct minister have been ravened by some fortunate villains in front of His Majesty, saying that Shang Shuling is an act of inviting fame and exercising dictatorship."

When Chen Jiao heard this, a ridiculous feeling suddenly rose in his heart.

A lucky villain says that others are lucky villains?

What's more, there are people who slander themselves like this in front of His Majesty.

How many lucky villains are there in this court?

"Doesn't Shang Shuling want to know who gave His Majesty a gluttonous message?"

Lian Zhao looked at Chen Jiao's face and asked in a low voice.

Chen Jiao is not a saint after all, and he can ignore fear and life and death.

"Who is it?"

Lian Zhao smiled with satisfaction, but he didn't sell Guan Zi again: "Liu Ye in the service." ”

When Chen Jiao heard this, he finally couldn't help but stand up, and said in a lost voice: "Is this true? ”

Even if Lian Zhao wanted to say his fault in front of His Majesty, Chen Jiao would not be shocked even if he was worried.

Because he is Shang Shuling, Lian Zhao is just a Shang Shulang.

His Majesty is the lord of the Ming Sage, and it is impossible for him to let such an important minister be imprisoned because of the words of a Shang Shulang.

In addition, His Majesty attaches great importance to laws and regulations, and often hears major cases in person, so he will always have the opportunity to prove his innocence.

But Liu Ye is different.

Liu Ye is known as a talented person in the world, and has always been highly valued by His Majesty.

After His Majesty ascended the throne, the first minister to meet privately was Liu Ye.

If he is greedy in front of His Majesty, then his net worth is in danger of overturning!

Seeing that Chen Jiao's face was a little pale, Lian Zhao showed a satisfied look.

"Although the lower officials don't know what the grudge between Shang Shuling and Liu Shizhong has, but the lower officials are also deeply disgusted by the actions of villains like Liu Ye, if there is a chance, the lower officials will definitely explain a thing or two for Shang Shuling in front of His Majesty."

Lian Zhao came up and said with concern on his face.

Chen Jiao went through the three dynasties of Cao and Wei, how could he not hear the meaning of Lian Zhao's words?

He looked at Lian Zhao with a faint gaze, "What do you want to do?" A person who thinks that he has no kindness to you on weekdays. ”

Lian Zhao cocked his thumb, "Talking to Chen Shangshu is worry-free." ”

He looked around, as if looking for something.

"Don't worry, there is no one else here except you and me."

Chen Jiao knew what Lian Zhao meant, and said.

When Lian Zhao heard this, he coughed, "Recently, Captain Kong Xian of Sili wanted to recruit the brother of the Hussar General (Sima Yi), but some people said that the brother of the Hussar General has always been arrogant and unreasonable. ”

Speaking of this, Lian Zhao's face showed anger, "Shang Shu ordered you to say, isn't this deliberately misjudging others?" The hussar general's family has always been the Hanoi family. ”

"When it comes to the generation of hussar generals, there are eight brothers, all of whom are talented, known as Sima Bada, why are there arrogant and unreasonable acts? Shang Shuling, do you say yes or no? ”

When Chen Jiao heard this, he finally understood Lian Zhao's intention.

If ordinary people are requisitioned, there is naturally no need to alarm Shangshutai.

But is Sima Yi an ordinary person?

Now his younger brother wants to become a leader, but he is victimized by the wind again.

As the most important official office of the imperial court, Shangshutai gathers the government affairs of the whole country here, if Shangshutai does not agree to this matter, then Sima Yi's brother is afraid that it will be in vain.

The Sima family folded a Sima master in the officialdom, but they didn't expect to be able to launch another one immediately.

What people didn't expect was that Lian Zhao actually had such a relationship with the Sima family.

Chen Jiao's thoughts kept turning like a wheel, hurriedly weighing the benefits and disadvantages.

Seeing that Chen Jiao's face was changing and he hadn't spoken for a long time, Lian Zhao was a little impatient.

"Chen Shangshu, the lower officials have also heard of it. In the past two years, because of Wu Shu's recklessness, His Majesty was worried about the world, and he had asked Chen Shangshu before. ”

"The hussar general is a loyal and righteous minister, but can he trust the society? Chen Shangshu said that the hussar general was the hope of the imperial court, and he didn't dare to say that he was the minister of the society, but there was such a thing? ”

When Chen Jiao heard this, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

Your Majesty is so close to Lian Zhao?

How else did he know about it?

I only heard Lian Zhao continue, "Chen Shangshu first contradicted His Majesty, and then Liu Ye slandered him. ”

"If this matter is known to the hussar general, and there are people who have grievances inside and outside the fashion book, even if they don't care about their own lives, can they not even care about their own wives and children?"

Chen Jiao could no longer maintain his apparent composure, and sat back in his position.

Wei has always had a tradition of sitting together, and he naturally knows it better than anyone else.

Chen Jiao's eldest son, Chen Ben, saw his adult return to the house with an ugly face, and immediately asked with concern:

"What's going on, sir?"

Chen Jiao waved his hand and drove all the subordinates away, and then asked Chen Ben to call his second son Chen Qian, and then he said what Lian Zhao said.

Finally, he said with a worried look: "If what Lian Zhao said is true, then our Chen family is in danger, what do you think I should do?" ”

After hearing what his father said, the eldest son Chen Ben was frightened, and he was so confused for a while, how could he think of a way?

However, the second son Chen Qian has always been resourceful, and after thinking about it for a while, he said with a smile: "The adults themselves have said that Your Majesty is the lord of the Ming Sage, and now he is just being blinded by the villain for a while. ”

"Even if you listen to what the villain says, if you want to come to Your Majesty, for the sake of the elder and important ministers of the Three Dynasties, you will let the adult retreat peacefully, at most he will not be a minister."

"Our Chen family, how can we say it now, it can be regarded as a high-ranking family, even if it is not out of office, we can have no worries about food and clothing, what do adults worry about?"

Chen Jiao was still worried: "I am only worried that Liu Pifu will frame my ear again in the future." ”

Chen Qian nodded, and a look of annoyance appeared on his face: "Old Pifu Liu is indeed hateful, this person is not dead, but I am afraid that adults are still in danger." ”

"What can I do?"

Chen Qian's face was gloomy:

"The so-called preemptive strike, the last strike, now Liu Lao Pifu preemptively, the adult has fallen one step behind. Fortunately, the Holy One has not blamed him, so why don't you fight back? ”

"Oh, the plan will be released?"

Chen Jiao hurriedly asked.

"According to the child, what Lian Zhao and the adults said in Shangshutai may not be all instructed by the hussar general."

Chen Qian's eyes flashed, "Liu Ye has always been deeply respected by His Majesty, and Lian Zhao was only fortunate to enter later, so Liu Ye naturally wanted to suppress Lian Zhao in front of His Majesty." ”

"The real purpose of Lian Zhao's move, in the eyes of the child, is intended for Liu Ye."

When Chen Jiao heard his second son's analysis, his heart suddenly brightened!

"I see!" He slapped his thigh and cheered, "I never thought of this stubble!" ”

Chen Jiao looked at his son in admiration, "That Lian Zhao used Sima Yi as a cover-up, but he didn't expect his real purpose to be this." ”

"As long as we know his true purpose, then it will be much easier for us to deal with it. Since Liu Lao Pifu is so hateful, why don't you borrow Lian Zhao's hand to get rid of this person? ”

Chen Qian gritted his teeth and said.

Chen Jiao frowned: "Liu Ye is deeply respected by His Majesty, Lian Zhao is just a new minister, how can he do such a big thing?" ”

Chen Qian smiled: "My lord, whether it is Liu Ye or Lian Zhao, his power is only given by His Majesty." It will be much easier as long as you start with Your Majesty. ”

"It's hard!"

Chen Jiao sighed.

"The kid has a plan."
