After sending the guys away, Han Yu secretly turned his head and glanced at Liu Long, who was talking a few times, and suddenly a hint of an intriguing smile appeared on his face.

"What is the general laughing at?" Xu Feng lowered his voice and followed Han Yu's gaze.

"He really has some shadows of the first emperor!" Han Yu took a sip of wine, and couldn't help but feel more and more funny the more he thought about it, "If the first emperor was alive, he would definitely feel that there was such a magical thing in the world after seeing it." ”

"Don't they all say he's an impostor?"

"Having said that, as long as someone says that the fake is true, the fake is also true!"

After speaking, Han Yu got up, picked up a glass of wine, and walked towards Liu Long's table.

It was a private room with the table against the northwest side, Liu Long was sitting on a chair with his back to him, holding a bowl in his hands, and he was watching intently, when he saw Han Yu coming in with wine, the six or seven young people dressed as scholars who were still talking at the table stopped talking, and they all raised their eyes to look at Han Yu.

"In the next ......" Han Yu arched his hand and was just about to say a pseudonym, when he suddenly glanced at Liu Long, who was sitting silently alone, and changed his words, "Under Li Ping, the word Ziyuan, was originally a merchant who came to Beijing. Today, I happened to meet you who are talking about the country, and I am a person who likes to be lively, and I hope you will not dislike it! ”

When the students heard this, they sat down one after another, nodded with a smile, and let go of their hands. Han Yu smiled and sat on the chair next to him, and asked Liu Long softly, "Brother Tai, what are you talking about?" ”

Liu Long first looked up at Han Yu and smiled kindly, "Let's talk about Da Xu's future!" These are all Jinshi who are the titles of the gold list of this autumn's entrance examination. Immediately, he stared at a thin scholar dressed in luxury and said, "Especially this benevolent brother is very knowledgeable, and the title of this gold list is the top three in high school, just waiting for the emperor to be hand-picked in front of the palace!" ”

Han Yu looked at it with a smile and couldn't help but be surprised. This is none other than Yang Fei, the Tanhualang who mocked Xu Yun in the inn before. Immediately, he picked up his wine glass with some embarrassment and saluted him, "This brother Taigui's surname, Taifu?" ”

Yang Fei had long forgotten about Han Yu, he was busy running up and down these days, but the emperor did not return to Beijing for a long time, and he couldn't get the final handpick.

"Don't dare, don't have your surname Yang, a single name and a flying word, and your cousin Yunde." Yang Fei replied with a smile, and owed his body again, and smiled at Han Yu with some arrogance, "Since you are a merchant who has entered Beijing, you have to serve this big man next to you well!" ”

With that, all the students burst out laughing.

"Hey!" Liu Long smiled and waved his hand, then got up and arched his hand at Han Yu and said, "Under Liu Long, he is the son of the early emperor and the brother of the current emperor!" ”

Hearing this, Han Yu couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, "This kid is really not afraid of death, and he dares to make a self-denial at the feet of the Son of Heaven so blatantly!" ”

"Don't be afraid of this brother!" Liu Long saw that Han Yu's face was a little pale, thinking that he was frightened by himself, so he put down the lid of the bowl in his hand, raised his head and laughed, "Your Excellency has entered Beijing to do business, do you have one or two ways?" If not, maybe I can help you. ”

Everyone applauded, but Xu Feng, who was standing in front of and behind Han Yu, couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly coughed to cover up, "Since you also said that you are an illegitimate prince, how can you have such nonsense?" ”

Seeing that Xu Fengzheng, who was behind Han Yu, was questioning his identity, Liu Long smiled disappreciatively.

took out the stainless steel bone fan from his arms, and suddenly unfolded it in front of Han Yu, and the strong wind brought out by the bone fan almost scratched Han Yu's cheek.

"This is a token left to me by the first emperor!" Liu Long deliberately turned the side with the words "Zerun All Things" to Han Yu, and said with a sneer, "You and other rural people, I'm afraid that I haven't seen the first emperor's handwritten ink treasure!" ”

Han Yu squinted his eyes and saw it clearly, how could the handwriting of the first emperor Liu Zizhao not be recognized? Although it is true that the handwriting of the first emperor is correct, he can hide it from others, but he can't hide it from Han Yu.

This bone fan is not a token left by the first emperor to some illegitimate prince, but it is actually the personal belongings of the North Korean emperor Guo Rang.

After the first emperor destroyed Korea, he lamented that Guo Rang did not know the suffering of the people, and he was greedy for pleasure all day long. I inscribed these four words on Guo Rang's bone fan, and carried it around me every day in the hope of taking it as a warning.

This matter was originally a trivial matter not worth mentioning, so only Han Yu, who had been following the previous emperor's side, knew about it, but he never thought that today it would be used as a token of rebellion and fraud by people with ulterior motives.

Han Yu held back his thoughts, and tried to pretend to be surprised and replied, "In this case, please take care of Your Highness in the future!" ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" Liu Long smiled and put away the folding fan, patted Han Yu on the shoulder, and asked a little provocatively, "It's just that I don't think Your Excellency looks like a passing businessman, but a bit like a DPRK and China official!" As he spoke, he peeked at Xu Feng behind Han Yu from time to time.

"Your Highness smiled...... Han Yu picked up his wine glass with a calm expression, poured it full, and bowed down respectfully to Liu Long, "I also tried to make a name for myself, but I really didn't have that fate...... After several years of continuous exams, he was just a showman, and then in order to find a way to make a living, he became a businessman. ”

"Hahahaha! I really don't blame you! Liu Long looked up and laughed, and suddenly pointed to a table of students and said to Han Yu, "You might as well ask them what they need to make a name for themselves!" ”

All the students also laughed, and they all proudly introduced Han Yu to me word by word. The voices were noisy, Han Yu listened to a rough idea, and after all, he couldn't get around one - the word money.

"Gao Cai!" Liu Long praised the students and smiled, "Are you asking this Brother Yang, how did you get the position of Tanhua?" ”

Hearing Liu Long talk about himself, Yang Fei couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, clapped his hands and smiled smugly, "A Jinshi has ten gold leaves, and I have fifteen Tanhualang, so it's still a lot more cost-effective!" This is thanks to the care of Uncle Feng and His Royal Highness! ”

"Fifteen?"

Han Yu and Xu Feng were stunned for a moment, and they began to think about it in their hearts.

A gold leaf is equivalent to nearly 25 copper coins, and Han Yu, as a dignified general of Nanying, has only been given less than 100 yuan for half a year by the imperial court, not to mention Xu Feng, who has not yet been canonized by the saint.

"These people in the capital are really ruthless enough to make money! A jinshi is worthy of more than a year's worth of money......" Han Yu couldn't help but take a breath.

Seeing Han Yu so surprised, Yang Fei burst out laughing, with a disdainful mockery in his eyes, "This isn't even counting the dots!" So Your Excellency should go about your small business with peace of mind! ”

Han Yu immediately bowed his hand to Liu Long again, "This Brother Yang said that he would stuff money for Uncle Feng Guo, I can understand this." But why give it to Your Highness? After all, His Highness's identity ......"

Hearing this, the crowd burst into laughter again. Shaoqing, a slightly obese student, explained, "Uncle Feng Guo is in the court to cover the sky with one hand, but he also wants to sell some face to our Highness!" ”

"Oh?" Han Yu poured a full bottle of wine again, picked up the wine glass and asked with interest, "What do you mean by this?" ”

The fat man drank the wine, blushed slightly and said with a smile, "Uncle Feng is only in the capital, and how many people are there in the Yulin Army?" Our Highness not only has people in the court, but even Dongying, one of the four major battalions, has to be the head of our Highness! As long as His Highness agrees to something, there is nothing that cannot be done! ”

Hearing this, Han Yu couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine, and Zhou Ning's seemingly unintentional warning in the snow that day suddenly flashed in his mind - "The army is outside all the year round, you have the power of the local military and government, and the power is above 10,000 people under the government and the opposition, and I am afraid that your temperament will be wild for a long time......"

Combined with a series of things that have happened in the past month since entering Beijing, Han Yu began to gradually realize the disadvantages of the four battalions to Daxu - it is not too much to describe the disadvantages as far outweighing.

"Humph!" Xu Feng sensed Han Yu's uneasiness and covered it up for him, "You students are really big!" Today's imperial court is His Majesty's final say, if His Majesty does not agree to something, who dares to call the shots? This is a capital offense for treason! ”

The students were suddenly stunned by Xu Feng's rough voice, and it took a while to come back to their senses, and they were just about to open their mouths to argue, when they suddenly saw Liu Long raise his hand slightly, and immediately smiled, "Dare to ask Your Excellency, how much money did you bring with you to Beijing this time!" ”

These words stopped Han Yu, and he understood in his heart that he had aroused Liu Long's vigilance, and he understood even more that he was greedy for money. It's just that Han Yu really had a hard time with how much money he had, after all, he didn't ask Xu Feng about the money he brought when he came, if Liu Long really saw the flaws, he was afraid that something would be wrong!

Xu Feng laughed, took out a money bag from his arms and still held it on the table, and in the sound of "dangdang" coming out of it, everyone's eyes were attracted.

Han Yu was in shock, and Xu Feng, who suddenly heard it, sneered at everyone, "Although my master is not generous, he still has this ability!" It's almost worth a gold leaf, and it's used as a few people's drinking money! ”

Seeing the clear money, Liu Long leaned back with a relieved heart, and smiled at Han Yu with a comfortable face, "Your Excellency, don't blame, there are really too many people who want to cling to me, and the fish and dragons are very mixed!" ”

Han Yu smiled and nodded in understanding, but immediately began to re-examine this fake prince in his heart.

"My house slave may be a little louder, but the truth is right. Is it possible that you can really influence Your Majesty's mind? Han Yu couldn't help but be puzzled.

This time, Liu Long didn't speak again, just took the money bag in his arms, and began to count it carefully with his eyes shining. The fat man replied, "Our Great Xu Kingdom, on the surface, listens to Your Majesty, but who doesn't know that the four major battalions can already influence Your Majesty?" ”

"You little fat man!" Xu Feng said coldly, "Don't you want to beat everyone to death with a stick?" ”

"Definitely!" After Liu Long counted everything, he put the money bag in his arms, and explained with a satisfied smile, "It is said that the emperor used to call himself a 'widow'. Dare to ask now, what is the difference between my brother and a lonely person? ”

As he spoke, he laughed at everyone again, "Don't say that you students who are about to enter the court as officials, how many of my brother's henchmen are still in the court today?" ”
