Show off his muscles, since he decided to give Gao Yu a ride, then Pan Xu also decided to do things to the end, he knew that his son-in-law Liu Zhenglong was not a thing in the pool, and now he was obviously eyeing the 100,000 forbidden army, obviously wanting to turn the 100,000 forbidden army into private soldiers, and this time the official family did not have a clear opposition, and even tacitly supported it, in this case, it was time for the Pan family to show their muscles.

Pan Xu said to Liu Zhenglong, "This step out, if it is a military general, it can be said that you dig your own grave, but you are a civil official, and you are also a protégé of the Son of Heaven, and there is the Pan family behind you, and the Gao family has nearly 1,000 lives as collateral, so the official family acquiesced to the development of this behavior." In this case, then the Pan family will help you again. I hope that this expedition to Liangshan will allow you to win and succeed. After I discuss with your other uncles, I will make a final decision, don't rush to Liangshan and meet with a few ministers in the political hall. ”

"Thank you father-in-law for your support."

"The family does not speak two words, and you must not forget the promise to be a father."

"Never forget."

Liu Zhenglong left the Pan family and began to visit the powerful people in the court, and the first person to visit was not Zhao Kai, the king of Yun who had always supported him, but Cai Jing, who had been deposed.

At this time, Taishi Cai Jing was seventy-five years old, and in that era of 'people living for seventy years', seventy-five was already considered a high lifespan, but in the officialdom basically meant the end of the Huan Hai career. Moreover, this is Cai Jing's third resignation, and almost everyone firmly believes that he has no possibility of making a comeback, and even the old thief's cronies, students, and sons think that Cai Jing's era is over.

It was in this context that Liu Zhenglong met with Taishi Cai Jing in a very high-profile manner, behind which there are the Pan family, the Gao family, and even the Liu family, and the shadow of the Xiang family are also among them, will it be the meaning of the official family, this weather vane changed all of a sudden, and some people in the court began to figure out the meaning.

Although he is already over the age of old, Cai Jing is not dead and still wants to return to the phase, so he attaches great importance to Liu Zhenglong's arrival, hoping to transmit a positive signal to the outside world.

Cai Jing stretched out his old hand covered with age spots to hold Liu Zhenglong's hand, and said with a slight trembling: "The old mansion is deserted, it can be said that there are many people, I didn't expect you, a hot protégé of the Son of Heaven, to come to visit." ”

"The teacher killed the student." If Liu Zhenglong participates in the Oscar for Best Actor, not winning the award is definitely the biggest loss for Hollywood, this guy said seriously, "The student can be said to be a white man in the officialdom, thanks to the old lady's teaching, he gradually gained a firm foothold in the officialdom, you can be said to be the guide of the students in the officialdom, and the teacher of the students in the officialdom." Besides, the time for your fourth term as prime minister will come soon, and I am burning incense and worshipping the Buddha in advance. ”

The person who mixes polite words in the officialdom, who will take it seriously if he doesn't come with his mouth open? The scheming Cai Jing only laughed at what Liu Zhenglong said.

A smile was only temporary, as soon as he entered the tea room, Cai Jing seemed to have changed into another person, he said with a smile, "The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit." Say, what can the old man do for you, or what do you want the old man to do for you. ”

"I'm here for the fourth time that the old lady has served as Xiangguo, and I'm not a sycophant. Now the four great Kou are in trouble, the court is financially tight, the battle between the prince and the king is becoming more and more intense, the meritorious family has reached the point where water and fire are inseparable, and the rampant Richard on the Western Xia front, Tong Shufu has not many ways. The maritime alliance has been signed, but for the northern front, the imperial court is still in a fog. In this case, who can preside over the overall situation is none other than the old lady. I am not here today to represent the Pan family, the Gao family, or to speak for the official family, but I am sure to persuade the official family, it depends on the wishes of the old lady. ”

Old fox, meet the little fox, Cai Jing knew from the first time he saw Liu Zhenglong, that this little fox was by no means a thing in the pool, and today he firmly believes in this point of view.

The old fox Cai Jing drank tea silently and carefully digested every word Liu Zhenglong said, which was a habit he had cultivated over many years of officialdom, or an ability, to digest the other party's words first, and then come up with his own opinions.

"Tell me, there's a problem that needs to be dealt with by the old decay."

"Gao Yu is in charge of Zhao'an, and the forbidden army is sent to the Western Front."

seems to be two simple sentences, but there is too much information brewing in them, and Cai Jing, who is in his seventies, can't digest it for a while, because he sees deeper and farther, and it can be said that he sees Liu Zhenglong's wolf ambitions.

There was an unknown information flashing in those cloudy eyes with a hint of treachery, and Cai Jing stared straight at Liu Zhenglong, staring at this little fox a little hairy.

Although there was no verbal communication, there were many friendships between the old fox and the little fox.

"Are you sure you want to do that?"

"Of course, I still hope that the old lady will guide me."

"Little fox, you still use the old decay to guide the maze, I'm afraid you have already made a calculation, even the old decay has been calculated into it, what else needs to be pointed out." Cai Jing put down the teacup, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "The old granddaughter is fifteen this year, and it can be said that the cardamom year is in early February, and the flat wife is not wronged by her. ”

"Mrs. Xie is complete."

"Isn't it time to change your tune?"

"Grandpa."

Transactions, beauties become transactions, which is normal in officialdom, especially in the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty. Cai Jing is making a bet, and this bet must be pressed down for him, whether he wins or loses, and he does not hesitate to sacrifice the most precious and beautiful granddaughter for this.

Liu Zhenglong knows that many things can't contain fire in paper, the official family wants the forbidden army to go to the northwest to fight with the Western Xia army and end the war in the northwest, and he really wants to turn the 100,000 forbidden army into private soldiers, maybe the official family can't react in a short time, but the huge civilian official group can't react, once this matter ferments, it will push in the opposite direction, I'm afraid few people can control it, if you have to find such a person to come out, there is no doubt that there is only Cai Jing, the old fox.

"Control the political affairs hall, then you can control this matter to a certain range, you can watch the operation of the rest yourself, I will solve the problem of the political affairs hall, by the way, you are still far away from King Yun, you should pay a private visit to the prince, otherwise you will fall into it too deeply, and you will be afraid of the official family."

Cai Jing's meaning is very clear, don't look at me giving you my baby granddaughter, but if you can't restore the phase, everything is empty talk. He paid homage to the prime minister for the fourth time, and he only helped control the remarks of the political hall, as for the entire Song Dynasty officialdom, as for the Tai students, the military general group had to rely on Liu Zhenglong to figure out a way by himself.

Visiting the prince, there is too much information hidden in it, and Liu Zhenglong only realized at this time how much mistake he had made. The dispute between the prince and the king of Yun, to put it bluntly, is all the children of the official family fighting, and in the eyes of the official family, it is like a child playing at home, and it cannot be taken seriously. But once he, a protégé of the Son of Heaven, intervenes, then there will be a lot of breath in it that shouldn't exist.

can only be loyal to the official family, and can't get too close to the prince. Liu Zhenglong only realized at this time that he was walking a tightrope, and once he stepped into the air, it would be an abyss from which he could never recover. He was secretly glad for himself in his heart, and he could be regarded as seeing Cai Jing, the old fox, and the old spicy.

Perhaps, this is the protégé of the Son of Heaven that the official family needs, but he has never realized it. Visiting the prince, this is digging his own grave, he will definitely be jealous of King Yun, and he will not win the trust of the prince, it can be said that the two sides are not pleased, but in this way, the official family will rest assured, which is very important for Liu Zhenglong.

It is obviously realistic to go directly to the prince's mansion, but it can save the country, at this time, Liu Zhenglong stared at Zhu Xiaozhang, the brother of the crown princess Zhu Lian, this right Jin Wuwei general is not a gentleman like Zhu Xiaosun, it can be said that he is a very shrewd and capable guy, on behalf of the Zhu family, open up the line of this guy, then it is equivalent to visiting the prince, as long as there is this attitude, it is okay, not really to burn the prince's high incense.

Liu Mingjun didn't expect Liu Zhenglong to come to visit him, he said with a smile, "I haven't seen the shadow of you for more than half a year, and I thought you forgot about the third brother." ”

"How can it, in the huge capital, if you want to find a companion to drink and talk, the first one is the big beauty Yun Feixue, and the second is your third son Liu."

"you, let's talk about it, it's appropriate to come to the third brother, it won't be a proposal to marry my sister." Liu Mingjun wanted to recognize Liu Zhenglong's brother-in-law, but he knew that his arrogant sister Liu Ruyan would not be small for others, so he didn't let him think about it.

"Make a fortune, a business of millions of yuan, I don't know if you are interested in Liu Sangongzi?" Liu Zhenglong knew that Liu Mingjun was a guy who couldn't get into the eyes of money, as long as it was profitable, this Liu Sangongzi would definitely respond as soon as possible.

In the whole world, only Liu Zhenglong is a million-dollar business, but Liu Mingjun has long been surprised, but he is still very interested, after all, who would be afraid of less money!

Liu Mingjun said with a smile, "Why don't you call Yun Feixue to accompany the bar, let's talk while drinking." ”

"No, let's have a drink." When talking about business, don't let women around, this is Liu Zhenglong's rule, and it will not be changed for anyone.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Liu Mingjun said, "Ah Long, don't go around in circles, what kind of business is it, just say it." ”

"Cold forging armor, Helan horse, Xia Guojian, bamboo horns, these things, exclusive, five years, millions of profits." Liu Zhenglong said lightly, he said unhurriedly, "Fine wine, soap, glass, silk, tea, iron, rouge, perfume, grain, etc. are shipped to Western Xia, and then make a deal, reopen the field, and the wealth is rolling, I don't know if you Liu Sangongzi is interested?" ”

"Ah Long, have you drunk too much, there is a war on the Western Front, how can the field be opened, even if it is opened, it will be taken care of by the Sansi Yamen, how can it be operated exclusively by us?"

After Liu Zhenglong put down his wine glass, he said with a smile, "I am the son-in-law of King Pu of Western Xia, I will open up the line on the Western Xia side, only I am the defense envoy of the Western Front, as long as the entire Western Front can be related to the Western Xia, I have the final say, and report directly to the Political Affairs Hall." In addition, the official family authorized us to decide on all matters on the Western Front at our own discretion without asking for orders. I have the final say on the affairs of the field, it depends on whether your third son is willing to get a piece of the pie. ”

"I can't ask for it, I'm a bastard if I don't make money, do you think I'm that kind of bastard? It's not that simple for you to come to me today. "Liu Mingjun knows Liu Zhenglong too well, this guy doesn't take money seriously at all, and he will definitely not reopen the field to trade with the Tangut people in order to make a fortune. The reason for doing this is that there should be a bigger plan in this, and as for what it is, he can't guess it for a while.

"Pull Zhu Xiaozhang in, the two of you account for 30%, I account for 20%, and the Gao family and the Xiang family each account for 10%."

Seeing this, when he heard Liu Zhenglong's scheme, Liu Mingjun gasped, and he asked puzzledly, "Ah Long, you can't be drunk, you are the Gao Xiang of the King of Burning Yun, and Zhu Xiaozhang is the prince's brother-in-law, why are you doing this." ”

"It's brother, you're here to take care of this, not to ask me why."

Liu Zhenglong's tone became cold, which was a precursor to anger. Liu Mingjun smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, I'll give it a try, but the Liu family needs my sister to take care of it, I created the opportunity for you, as for whether it can be done, it depends on your own creation." ”

Zhu Xiaozhang's wife is Liu Mingjun's sister, and the two have a very good personal relationship, and this matter can only be handled by Liu Mingjun, and ordinary people can't handle it.

In the end, I don't know what tricks Liu Mingjun used, Zhu Xiaozhang finally agreed, it seems that it is for the sake of the huge wealth, or for other purposes, in the end, on the Que Yun Tower, the three of them still sat down to drink together.

The gossip in the capital is full of news, and the newspapers will report a lot of hidden things, and some people will add fuel to the fire, and the meaning of the scrutiny will arouse the reader's association, and many small things will be infinitely interpreted, and there will be various different versions.

Liu Zhenglong met with Zhu Xiaozhang privately, there are too many articles here, too many, countless people are interpreting, and countless versions have appeared, but each version does not seem to be a good thing for Liu Zhenglong.

Liu Zhenglong wants to change the court, there is a contradiction between Liu Zhenglong and King Yun, there is an ulterior secret between the prince and King Yun, similar news is flying all over the sky, and for a time there is a lot of noise in the capital, and the streets and alleys are discussing this matter, and even officials are discussing it under the court.

All kinds of speculations in the newspaper came out, and the sales of the newspaper increased by forty percent compared to usual, which was obviously not a good thing, and Liu Zhenglong, who was in a mess at home, soon knew what was going on through the channels of the Imperial City Division.

It turned out that the crown princess Zhu Lian, who was both wise and beautiful, made a move, and under her planning, this matter was infinitely fermenting, and it was getting more and more intense. This woman's shot is vicious, ruthless and accurate, and her moves are not far from Liu Zhenglong's vital point.
