The most taboo person for Li Shi, the king of Lu, is his brother Li Si, who called the king, also because his father once made it clear that Li Si is more suitable for inheriting the throne than other sons.

The father may just be talking, but why Yu Chaoen has been destroyed for more than a year, and the father still refuses to make the crown prince, isn't it because there is another option?

Li Shi stood in front of the window, staring at the courtyard with a cold gaze, but Lu Qi's words fell into his ears without missing a word.

Li Si is secretly cultivating his own power, I believe that several of the Guanlong nobles have been bought by him, and several senior veterans also support him, Xiangguo Han Yun has expressed sympathy for Li Si many times, so who else? Who else would burn Li Xi's cold incense?

"You mean Guo Song?"

Li Shi was stunned, turned around and asked, "Why do you say that Guo Song is the one who summoned the king?" ”

"Your Royal Highness, Guo Song and King Zhao's interaction is not a day or two, they met in the grassland two years ago, the minister has investigated before, Guo Song's house is the former official residence of King Zhao, and this time they came back from Hexi together......."

"Enough!"

Li Shi interrupted Lu Qi's words, "Everything you said is speculation, there is no clear evidence, this king doesn't want to decide a person's ownership based on speculation, Guo Song's mansion this king knows the cause and effect, you don't need to say it anymore." ”

Lu Qi touched a nail and was really depressed in his heart, but he knew Li Shi after all, and he knew how to make Li Shi believe his words, maybe today was not the time.

"In addition, Weichen wants to report on the summoning of the king."

Li Shi was very interested in this topic, and he immediately said, "How is his situation?" ”

"After the king returned to Beijing, he immediately went to the palace to visit the Son of Heaven, but our secret agents found that it was a small eunuch who came to inform the king first, and then called the king to the palace."

"Who sent this little eunuch?"

Li Shi realized that this was the point, summoning the king to have someone in the palace.

"Returning to His Royal Highness, it was sent by Sun Xiaozhong, the governor of the Great Interior."

Li Shi gasped, it turned out that Sun Xiaozhong, the head of the inner house, was the one who summoned the king, and he didn't even know it.

"Is this news exact?"

"The message is exact!"

Li Shi's heart was a little confused, he knew very well that the weight of the chief manager of the Great Interior was equivalent to a prime minister!

And he also thought that Sun Xiaozhong was the person promoted by Emperor Suzong, of course, he was biased towards summoning King Li Si, but his power in the palace was weak.

Lu Qi seized this opportunity and said in a low voice: "The person who can deal with Sun Xiaozhong, except for Cheng Zhenyuan, there is really no one else, His Royal Highness must have his own talent in the palace!" ”

Li Shi finally approved Lu Qi's suggestion, and he nodded, "Arrange it!" When will I meet him at Suzaku Restaurant? ”

.........

Guo Song met the third senior brother Zhang Lei and Li Wenyu in the evening, Li Wenyu was six months pregnant, and her temper was not the gentleness of the pregnant mother, but even more hot.

"Don't mention it!"

Li Wenyu slammed the water glass on the table, and said with an annoyed face: "The secret technique of steaming wine in Jiannan Burning Spring was leaked out last year, and some people guessed that the secret recipe of our Meishou wine is also like this, and there are really wineries that have made good wine similar to our Meishou wine. ”

Zhang Lei hurriedly explained: "Actually, the business is still good, but it is not as hot as before, and our Meishou wine is still in short supply, but there are many big restaurants that want us to send Meishou wine, Lao Wu, what do you think?" ”

"Did you send it?"

"Not yet, your sister-in-law said that I must listen to your opinion on this matter."

Guo Song nodded and said: "The reason why many century-old shops have been prosperous for a long time is that they insist on quality and principles.

The reason why we insist on only selling to the top ten restaurants is because the top ten restaurants cherish their reputation and will not sell fake wine to smash their own store cards, so when the drinkers drink Meishou wine in other restaurants, they will definitely say that the wine is fake, and will not say that Meishou wine is not good, which is called reputation, do you understand? ”

Li Wenyu glared at her husband, "Did you hear what your junior brother said?" You've got a hot brain all day. ”

Zhang Lei scratched his head a little embarrassed, "I know, I won't think about it anymore." ”

Li Wenyu yawned and got up a little tired to leave.

Zhang Lei poured Guo Song another glass of wine and said, "What are your plans next?" ”

Guo Song shook his head, "I don't know for the time being, the Son of Heaven is actually sick, and my aunt is not in Chang'an, and I don't know what to do, but I will submit a report to the Ministry of War early tomorrow morning and see how the court arranges!" ”

"Even us businessmen know that the court is in chaos now, you have to be more careful, don't be easily caught."

"I understand all this, don't talk about me, talk about you, didn't I suggest that you do more business?"

Zhang Lei swallowed and said: "We still have a store in Dongshi, doing jewelry business, called Duobao Pavilion, in fact, the original Duobao Pavilion was bought by us, but how to distribute the elements has not yet been determined, waiting for you to come back to discuss." ”

"That's half for one person."

Guo Song happily set the shareholding ratio, and he smiled a little surprised and asked, "How did you think of doing jewelry business?" ”

Zhang Lei was very happy in his heart, although they only accounted for three percent of the wine shop, but their husband and wife hoped that the jewelry store could get more shares, the best was that he and the fifth brother were one and a half, he was a little worried that the fifth brother would not agree, but he didn't expect the fifth brother to agree so happily, which made Zhang Lei's heart bloom.

Zhang Lei hurriedly said: "Buying Duobao Pavilion still has something to do with Uncle An, Uncle An has three components in this jewelry store, he doesn't want it anymore, so he came to ask us if we want it?" Then he negotiated with a few other proprietors on my behalf, and everyone agreed to transfer it to us, and they spent a total of 130,000 yuan to buy the store. ”

"How's the business?"

"Business is not bad, although there is no liquor store to make money, but it is relatively stable, there are the best jewelers in the shop, our customers are all relatives of the emperor and major magnates, and some big businessmen will also come to patronize."

At this time, Guo Song suddenly remembered something and asked with a smile: "Does Duobao Pavilion accept jade?" ”

"Collect is collected, but generally only good quality jewelry and jade are accepted."

"There must be no problem with the quality, my soldiers brought back a lot of beautiful jade from Anxi, you arrange two stewards to Qingxuguan to collect jade early tomorrow morning, and it must be at a fair price, so that my soldiers can make a little money."

........

Early the next morning, he came to Shangshu Province located in the Daming Palace City with the report of the Western Regions, he did keep a hand, recorded a copy of the report, and worked hard to write a 30,000-word report.

Shangshu Province is a building scale is extremely grandiose building, nearly a mile long red wall opened up seven official gates, including six official offices and Shangshu Provincial Government, there are soldiers standing guard in front of each gate, there are two majestic stone lions on the left and right, seven official offices from right to left, respectively, Shangshu Provincial Government, Ministry of Officials, Ministry of Households, Ministry of Rites, Ministry of War, Ministry of Punishment and Ministry of Industry.

Guo Song wore a five-grade official uniform, hung a silverfish bag on his waist, and walked directly into the gate of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of War has two floors, in the middle is a very large courtyard, there are rockery pond fish in the yard, there are pavilions, and then the Department of War, the Department of Staff, the Department of Driving and the Department of the Treasury are located on both sides of the courtyard respectively, and at the end of the courtyard are two small courtyards, which are the official rooms of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of War.

Guo Song was the envoy of the Son of Heaven, and it stands to reason that his report should be handed over directly to the Son of Heaven, but the Son of Heaven Li Yu was seriously ill and was supervised by Li Shi, the king of Lu, so Guo Song planned to hand over the report to Li Shi, the prison state.

However, Li Si, the king of Zhao, specially sent someone to remind him that although he was the pacification envoy of the Western Regions, he was also the governor of the Anxi Prefecture, and if his report could not be handed over to the Son of Heaven, then it must be handed over to the imperial court in the name of the governor of the Anxi Prefecture, and could not be directly handed over to the prison state, and the prison country and the Son of Heaven could not be confused.

So today Guo Song came to the Ministry of War, according to the rules of the imperial court, he must hand over the investigation report of the Western Regions to the Ministry of War, and then report it to the Ministry of War.

"May I ask if Shiro is there?" Guo Song asked at the door.

"Who are you? What's the matter? An official in his mid-thirties stepped forward and asked.

"Below is Shi Guosong, the governor of the Anxi Prefecture, is there an investigation report from the Western Regions that you want to hand over to your company?"

The officials were a little strange in their hearts, when did the imperial court appoint the governor of Anxi, and he didn't know it?

But he didn't question it, nodded and said: "The report is handed over to us, Guo Changshi give me the report!" I am a staff member, and the maps and reports from all the states in the world are submitted to me first, and I review them before submitting them to Langzhong. ”

Guo Song was really a little uncomfortable in his heart, at least he should have been the waiter of the military department to take his report, but in the end, he was a foreigner who dealt with him.

"This is Anzai and Beiting's military investigation report!"

Wailang felt a little slighted, and his tone became cold, "No matter what the report is, it must be handed over to me, this is the rule, don't say it's just a long history, even if it is a report written by Anxi, you have to come to me first." ”

Guo Song was dissatisfied in his heart, and his face sank and said: "I want to see your servant!" ”

"I'm sorry, Cui Shilang is not here today, I'll say it again at the end, Guo Changshi, please report to me, and then you can go."
