Qin Xiao was slightly surprised, but soon understood the reason.

"The saint loves the princess, and the court knows that hundreds of officials have entered the court through the princess's door over the years." Han Yunong said slowly: "In addition, the princess is in charge of the North Courtyard, and the supervising army of the North Courtyard is all over the empire, and the allocation of ordnance and military salaries is the decision of the North Courtyard, in other words, the logistics of all the soldiers and horses are almost in the hands of the princess." ”

Qin Xiao thought to himself that the authority in the hands of Her Royal Highness the princess was indeed not small.

"That's only part of the story." Han Yunong sighed: "Before the general was killed, he personally went to Zhen County, and that time I accompanied the general to drink, and the general rarely commented on the affairs of the court, but that time I drank a few more glasses and expressed the unhappiness in my heart. ”

Qin Xiao knew about this matter.

In order to incorporate the wolf cavalry, the general went to Zhen County in person, but he didn't know the specific situation, but Han Yunong was in Zhen County at the time, and the general naturally met Han Yunong.

Han Yunong is a close confidant under General Hei Yu, and the general's return to Xiling has a lot of hardships, so it is inevitable to say a few more words to Han Yunong after drinking.

"After the general returned to Xiling, the North Court immediately sent a secretary of the North Court surnamed Pei, on the surface, he sent a supervisor over, but in fact, Pei Secretary went to Xiling in order to transport the family's materials back to Kyoto and pay them directly into the inner treasury." Han Yunong's expression was solemn: "The general is troubled by this, and he also mentioned to me that in fact, the inner treasury in the palace is said to be in the hands of the princess, and Her Royal Highness the princess has the skill to collect money, except for some materials that are included in the treasury on the surface, the princess has the largest source of the inner treasury in her hands." ”

Qin Xiao didn't speak, just looked at Han Yunong.

"Of course you know Bao Fenglong!" Han Yunong said: "That is the largest money village in the world. ”

Qin Xiao nodded immediately.

Bao Feng Long Hui to the world, not only in the Tang Dynasty, even in foreign countries, there is also a branch of Bao Feng Long, he made a windfall from the Broken Sky Fort, got a lot of rare treasures, and then in the White Wolf City Bao Feng Long exchanged for a silver ticket.

In this world, only Bao Fenglong has the strength to take out hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in a short period of time.

He knew that Bao Fenglong was divided into a lot, and he also heard rumors that Bao Fenglong was an official and businessman, and there were huge backers behind him, but he naturally didn't know what kind of master Bao Fenglong was behind the scenes.

"Bao Fenglong is a century-old money village of Datang." Han Yunong said: "The master on his face is the Lin family of Hangzhou, when Emperor Wuzong conquered the Bohai Sea, he raised military expenses, and the Lin family took the initiative to donate gold, and Emperor Wuzong was happy, so he sealed the head of the Lin family a five-grade official, with officials and no positions, and made the Lin family an official and businessman, giving a lot of convenience, and the biggest purpose of the Lin family's donation is to hope to get the support of the imperial court and allow them to open a money bank in the empire. As he spoke, his throat was a little dry, and he was going to pour water, but Qin Xiao was nimble with his hands and feet, and hurriedly grabbed it and poured it.

Han Yunong drank the water before continuing: "That Lin family master is also a business wizard, although he has no intention of pursuing a career in business, he has an extraordinary talent in business, and he is very ambitious. He donated money to the imperial court and received the support of the imperial court, so starting from him, after three generations of efforts, he finally built Baofenglong into the world's first money bank, and truly achieved the world. However, the Lin family knows very well that no matter how big the Lin family is,

If there is no support from the imperial court behind it, Baofenglong, which is all over the world, will collapse in an instant. ”

"So the Lin family tied themselves to the royal family?" Qin Xiao instantly understood.

Han Yunong smiled faintly and said: "Yes, the Lin family is very shrewd, the best way to make Baofenglong as stable as Mount Tai and the Lin family to stand tall is to share the same boat with the royal family." Therefore, the Lin family and the royal treasury share the benefits of the bank, which actually makes Bao Fenglong an important source of the inner treasury. ”

"It's called a long stream." Qin Xiao sneered: "Although the interests of Qianzhuang are divided by the inner treasury, it is precisely because the inner treasury is profitable in Baofenglong, so Baofenglong will never fall, as long as the royal family exists, the Lin family will also exist." ”

"It is naturally impossible for a saint to have contact with the Lin family, so the person who has private contact with the Lin family is Her Royal Highness the Princess." Han Yunong clasped his arms around his chest and said calmly: "In this way, the Lin family will also be controlled by the princess, and the biggest source of the inner library is also in the hands of the princess." ”

Qin Xiao thought to himself, no wonder Princess Musk Yue was able to compete with the Prime Minister of the Kingdom.

There are many subordinates, and they control the North Courtyard, and they also control the Inner Library, as long as they have one, they are already a great figure in the court, and she has these three forces at the same time, so she will naturally become the fierce rival of the Prime Minister.

Qin Xiao thought for a while, thought for a while, and then said, "Du Wei, do you mean to say that the strength in the princess's hands is too strong, so the saint wants to beat her?" ”

"After all, the saint is from the Xiahou family, and she supports the princess to balance the Xiahou family, not to let the Xiahou family fall." Han Yunong sighed: "The fall of the Xiahou family is absolutely not beneficial to the saint, she naturally wants to support and suppress the Xiahou family, so that the Xiahou family is in a controllable position." The princess is a newly refined knife of the saint, the purpose is to balance the Xiahou family, and the princess has lived up to the expectations of the saint and does have the strength to compete with the Xiahou family. But...... Of course, the saint will not forget that the princess is also surnamed Li! ”

Qin Xiao's body shook one by one.

Han Yunong's last sentence is naturally extremely important.

Xiahou stepped on the head of the Li royal family and sat on the dragon chair, and after ascending the throne, he carried out a bloody purge of the Li royal family, and the Li royal family was almost wiped out, but although Princess Musk Yue was the pearl of the saint's palm, she was also a member of the Li royal family.

The strength in the hands of the princess is too strong, just like if the power of the Li royal family is increasing step by step.

The princess is a knife tempered by the saint, and now this knife is like the original Xiahou clan, and it has become too sharp, since the saint did not want to see the Xiahou clan's knife too sharp, he will also not allow Princess Musk Yue's knife to be too sharp.

"I'm saying this today, just to let you understand that Dou Wei is the person who is the prime minister." Han Yunong smiled bitterly: "If I guessed correctly, Dou Wei should have taken refuge in the Prime Minister of the State a long time ago, and became a nail buried in the Ministry of War. Fan Wenzheng fell, the power of those princesses in the military department will naturally be swept away by Dou Wei, and they will be replaced by the people of the Prime Minister of the country, you are not the person of the Prime Minister of the country, let alone the person of the princess, but Dou Wei wants to leave you, what is the reason behind it, I don't know at the moment, but you must pay more attention to yourself, no matter how you behave and do things in the yamen, be careful everywhere. ”

Qin Xiao knew that Han Yunong was leaving this time, and he must not be at ease with himself, so he could only smile and say: "Duwei, don't worry, I will be cautious in everything." ”

"I can't figure out what Dou Wei is planning for you, but the princess will definitely not be willing to lose the military department." Han Yunong's expression was solemn: "The situation in the DPRK is changing, and I don't know when the princess will launch a counterattack against the military department." You are in the yamen, there is no need to get too close to the people in the military department, to put it more bluntly, don't let the princess think that you belong to Dou Wei, although you were only given an order, you are also a seven-rank official, and it is definitely not a good thing to get involved in the dispute between right and wrong. ”

Qin Xiao said with a smile: "Don't worry, Captain, I'll eat and drink in the military headquarters first, and see if there is a chance to be transferred to Woye Border Town in the future, if I can't go to Woye Border Town, it's good if I can go to you, anyway, I will find a way to leave Kyoto as soon as possible." ”

"Qin Xiao, don't forget that we are the general's subordinates." Han Yunong's expression became serious, stared at Qin Xiao's eyes and said, "Everyone in the world can forget the revenge of the general's murder, but we can't forget. ”

Qin Xiao restrained his smile, his expression became serious, and said: "Captain, the general's revenge, I dare not forget it for a day, if I don't do anything else in this life, I will also find an opportunity to kill Fan Ziqi's gang of traitors and avenge the general." ”

"As long as we have this heart, even if we wait for three and five years, it is not too late." Han Yunong clenched his fists, his eyes flashed with cold light, he was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Everything that should be explained has been explained, you are doing well in Kyoto, and after I go to Guiyang, I will try my best to find a way to return to Fertile as soon as possible." When you arrive in Guiyang, a lot of news is not well-informed, Zimo and Zhonglang have not heard from them so far, you should also pay attention to the military department to see if there is any news from them, no matter what news you get, whether they are dead or alive, when the time comes, take me a letter and let me know their situation. ”

Qin Xiao nodded, thinking of something, reached into his arms, touched a few silver tickets and came out, looked at them, two silver tickets of 10,000 taels, plus a few others, there were also 24,000 taels of silver, and he did not hesitate, handed them over and said: "Captain, you take these silver tickets first, when you arrive in Guiyang, with these silver tickets in your hand, many things will be much more convenient." ”

Han Yunong glanced at it and said in surprise: "Where did you get such a big silver ticket?" ”

"Don't worry, I'm not here to do anything wrong anyway." Qin Xiao thought to himself that only more than 20,000 taels of silver tickets would make your eyes open wider than copper bells, if you take out all the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver tickets, you won't faint, and said with a smile: "You just accept it." ”

Han Yunong shook his head and pushed Qin Xiao's hand back: "When I arrived in the army, I have my own military salary, so I don't need these things." You'll need these things more in Kyoto, but remember that your wealth is not exposed, and don't let others know that you have such a sum of money on you. ”

Qin Xiao thought for a while, knowing that the amount was too large, Han Yunong would never accept it, so he put away the two 10,000 taels of silver tickets, and the remaining thousands of taels of silver tickets were forced into Han Yunong's hand, and said: "If you take it with you, at least you can buy wine and drink, Duwei, if you don't accept it, I will be very sad." ”

Han Yunong thought for a while, but finally did not refuse, nor did he look closely, put it in his arms, stood up, patted Qin Xiao on the shoulder, and said warmly: "Take care of everything, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, as long as we live, we can wait until the day of avenging the general, this blood debt can only be collected by the two of us." ”
