Turning right from the bustling front yard and passing through a hundred-step alley, Fang Shaoqun lived in the rows of houses in the backyard.

This is where his father once lived, Liu Zhiyuan hired Fang Shaoqun's father Fang Ziye more than ten years ago when he knew Huazhou, Fang Shaoqun followed his father to study in the state government at that time, and since then he has shown extraordinary intelligence and acumen, to Liu Zhiyuan entered Beijing, Fang Shaoqun has been in Xiucai, because Liu Zhiyuan first entered the Beijing Division around the lack of people, the father and son were brought into the Beijing Division together, at that time Liu Zhiyuan promised that after he gained a firm foothold, he would recommend Fang Shaoqun to directly take the examination in the Beijing Division, and he worked hard for ten years. The fulfillment of this promise is still far away.

Fang Shaoqun knew in his heart that Liu Zhiyuan was far away and jealous inside, and most of the time he didn't come to the bottom of his mouth.

He didn't care before, although he was just a showman, but he could assist Liu Zhiyuan to achieve a career, and he would be called a white-clothed prime minister in the future, with a high income and a successful career, but he didn't have to draw on his own fame.

Now he regrets it faintly, Liu Zhiyuan, like the Son of Heaven, is really a pair of like-minded good monarchs and ministers, both of whom are so ambitious fools.

People are not afraid of stupidity, but they are afraid of stupidity and determination.

According to Liu Zhiyuan's plan, the entire northern part of the Great Wei Dynasty would be exhausted, and once it failed, it would be in danger of overturning almost instantly.

Fang Shaoqun punched the door frame, he didn't care about the skin of his fingers, he just regretted it in his heart, how could he come up with such an idea for this stupid person?

The tiger is out, and it is difficult to suppress it!

Now I hope that Han Zhong still maintains a pattern that can overpower Liu Zhiyuan, even if Han Zhong also submits to the emperor's will and has to preside over the Northern Expedition, he will not make this desperate pattern of staking the fortunes of the Great Wei State like Liu Zhiyuan.

With 200,000 forbidden troops and 100,000 Xiang troops, they tried to restore the hometowns of Pingzhou and Xingzhou, the Great Wall in the vicinity of Xingzhou, and control the narrow western Liaoning corridor, which was considered to have achieved the strategic goal.

The most important thing is not to restore the old place, the strategic goal designed by Fang Shaoqun is mainly to gather a considerable mobile elite of the Wei army, take the initiative to attack, and attract the main force of Donghu to the battle.

Regardless of whether the battle is lost or won, as long as the Wei army is not a miserable change, it will achieve its goal.

Once Donghu is sucked into the western part of Liaoxi to fight, its mobility and vitality are weakened, so that Donghu cannot enter at will, and the strategic goal is perfectly achieved.

As for the recovery of the Xiongjin Governor's Mansion, the Juyan Governor's Mansion, the Raole Governor's Mansion and other northern hometowns, it is purely a fool's dream!

In the vast grassland area, hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops and the main force of Donghu will fight?

Fang Shaoqun couldn't help but laugh...... Liu Zhiyuan is not unaware of the risks, but he thinks too highly of himself, and once he wins the bet, his merits will reach Wei Huo, and his power will not be inferior to that of Huo Guang of the Han Dynasty, and the usurpation is enough capital, so he can't resist this temptation.

What the Son of Heaven wants is the Great Wei Zhongxing, solve the troubles of Donghu in one fell swoop, and then sort out the interior, achieve the so-called goal of making the country rich and the people strong, and achieve a thousand years of achievements.

As for failure, it would be really thankful that these two goods could take this into account in their minds.

"Mr. Fang, Mr. Fang?"

Fang Shaoqun sat in a daze in the chair, he didn't even light the oil lamp, and when someone knocked lightly on the door outside, he suddenly woke up.

"Lao He, is that you?"

"It's a villain."

"Come in."

Fang Shaoqun took out the flint in his purse, lit the fire, and lit the oil lamp on the table.

A middle-aged man gently pushed open the door and came in, and saluted Fang Shaoqun with a fist.

"How?" Fang Shaoqun asked, "How much did Pu Shougao send?" ”

"Two hundred thousand." Lao He's eyes couldn't hide his greed and envy, and he said, "The master later ordered to send five thousand yuan to Mr. Fang." ”

"Oh, got it." Fang Shaoqun said disappreciatively: "You can take ten times the money in the corner of the wall." ”

Lao He was overjoyed when he heard this, and hugged his fists again and said: "Every time I get Mr. Fang's reward, the villain is really ashamed." ”

Ashamed to be ashamed, of course the money still has to be taken, Fang Shaoqun is the weirdest one in Liu's staff, Fang Ziye died of a serious illness a few years ago, Fang Shaoqun is even more cynical, Liu Zhiyuan gave him money, never take it out, do not invest in the factory of the commercial bank, do not buy houses and land, at first put it in the cabinet, and then the cabinet could not be put down, simply piled on the ground, Lao He glanced at it, and knew that there were at least fifty or sixty thousand yuan, which was equivalent to ten years of income from a county, Fang Shaoqun was so dismissive and piled on the ground.

Of course, no one will fight the idea here, Fang Shaoqun is Liu Zhiyuan's most powerful staff, smart and meticulous is terrifying, no one dares to take a penny of his money, and many people's dreams are blocked with a casual lock.

Lao He happily took ten strings of money over, the heavy yellow copper coins were shining in the dim light, Lao He said happily: "This surnamed Pu is really the God of Wealth, every time he comes over, he throws a lot of money, and the people in our house like him to come." ”

Fang Shaoqun said: "As a rule, every time he goes to Beijing, he gives 10,000 to the prime minister, 5,000 to the cardinal envoy, and 5,000 to our big staff." Okay this time, I heard that Han Xiang has 100,000, Xu Xiang 30,000, 30,000, deputy envoy 20,000, 50,000 in the imperial history, and 10,000 in some imperial history, let's put 20 ...... directly."

Lao He was dumbfounded when he heard it, he couldn't help but be happy when he took ten yuan of money, where did he think that these big people would be 100,000 yuan when he took it?

"100,000 yuan, I'm afraid there is no room for ......"

Fang Shaoqun was talking to himself, not pointing at Lao He to answer, hearing this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Of course it can't be cash, it's a lot of money tickets." ”

"And not everybody collects money." Fang Shaoqun said with a smile: "The privy deputy envoy Li Guorui didn't ask for this money, and most of the imperial history Zhongcheng and most of the imperial history also refused, and the old Xiangguo didn't ask for it either." Even if it is Han Zhong, most of the money he takes out is to supplement the officials under his command, the capital has heavy expenses and high housing prices, Han Zhong's money is just a little bit of a hand, if he keeps this money, his reputation will be ruined. ”

Lao He said: "Then what is our master's 200,000 yuan for?" ”

Fang Shaoqun said: "Tell me carefully, what did Pu Shougao say to Dashen." ”

"First greeted him, and then put a money ticket of 200,000 yuan, the lord was taken aback and said it was too much." Lao He recalled: "Then Pu Shougao said, one is to ask the master to say hello to Dazhong Cheng and let go of Lin Douyao's dereliction of duty, and the other is that there is one thing that he suddenly thought of, and he wants to talk to the master in detail." ”

Fang Shaoqun became vigilant and said, "What the hell is going on? ”

"Then they closed the door, and I couldn't hear it very clearly." Lao He is the long-term follower of Liu Zhiyuan's side, and he will only report the news after Fang Shaoqun buys it with money, of course, it is Fang Shaoqun, and if he changes to someone else, Lao He will not dare to have ten more dares.

Liu Zhiyuan has both jealousy and vigilance against Fang Shaoqun, as well as a side of dependence, among the more than a dozen staff members in the Great Staff, Fang Shaoqun is definitely not the most trusted one, but he is definitely the most relied on.

Lao He also knew that even if he didn't say it, if he delayed it for a few days at most, Liu Zhiyuan still had to call Fang Shaoqun over to discuss, so it didn't hurt to report the news in advance, of course, what Liu Zhiyuan would think Lao He didn't care.

"Just listen to Xu Zixian, Xu Zicheng's names......" Lao He said in a hurry: "What else is there that Han Xiang told them to stay in Beijing, they can try to try to talk about it from this aspect, I really can't hear it clearly, I think the master will call Mr. Fang to go over to discuss, and then you will know everything......"

"Oh, I see." Fang Shaoqun held back the turmoil in his heart and said, "Go ahead, this matter is not small, don't drink and brag with others, and say that you leaked your mouth." ”

The 200,000 guan was not given to Liu Zhiyuan, it is enough to make 10,000 to 5,000 guan of the normal relationship, and the deacons will not necessarily accept it, they must have a certain friendship and relationship, and they will see whether they will accept it or not, depending on the situation.

For example, if there are several privy envoys and deputy envoys, most of them will not receive this money.

These 200,000 guan are used by Liu Zhiyuan to play the palace attendants and Zhonglang, the servants, the affairs, the Lang Zhongling, the guards, and of course, the subordinates, the scholars, and other close servants!

The meaning is clear!

After Lao He withdrew, Fang Shaoqun stood up violently and hurriedly circled around the room.

Fang Shaoqun has a habit, once he likes to walk when thinking about important and urgent matters, and his brain is also thinking violently when his body is active, he didn't know much about Pu Shougao's intention, but Lao He just said a few words that Fang Shaoqun had already understood.

Xu Zicheng didn't know who he was instigated by, and he had already asked to stay in Beijing to take up a post, this matter was originally a joke, while committing a taboo, that poor little thought was simply a joke, who would put this young Wu Guogong in his eyes? The clan is unruly, does not understand the government, does not understand the world, and everywhere he goes, he puts on the arrogant appearance of the near branch of the clan, which is annoying.

Xu Xiashang, the old minister, has clearly objected, and ordered Xu Zicheng to leave Beijing as soon as possible, which has changed from a similar joke to a real joke.

Who doesn't know Xu Zicheng's ridiculous intentions?

When the son is childless today, and it is rumored that the health is not very good, this gives many careerists a reason.

Even after a round of cleaning up the gold incident, there are still idiots like Xu Zicheng who jump out, which is simply self-defeating.

Even if he is pressed by Xu Xiashang this time, there must be a thorn in the heart of the Son of Heaven, and when Xu Zicheng jumps out to die again, it will be time for Wu Guogong's line to be completely swept away.

Pull Xu Zixian, and the meaning is completely different.

As the prince of Nan'an, Xu Zixian's weight was originally not as good as Xu Zicheng, but since Xu Zixian made continuous military exploits and was praised by Xu Xiashang, the right minister, if Xu Zixian stayed in Beijing first, the meaning was completely different from Xu Zicheng.

With the support of the right minister, the weight was originally increased, and even the Son of Heaven had to consider the stakes.

Xu Xiashang is definitely far inferior to Han Zhong and Liu Zhiyuan in terms of power layout, but at the age of seventy, he has gained great prestige in the clan and the court in the past fifty years, as well as public opinion, not to mention Han Zhong and Liu Zhiyuan, even the Son of Heaven is far from comparable.

To put it simply, when Chengzong was messing around, Xu Xiashang was already an old minister of the Three Dynasties, and he could spray Chengzong in front of him.

During the reign of Wuzong, Xu Xiashang was a young jinshi, a talent in the clan, and during the reign of Wenzong, he was already an important minister of the country, a well-known Confucian, and a recognized elder in the clan.

By the time of Chengzong, he was already an important minister of the country, a famous Confucian in the sea, and an important town of the clan.

In the current Chongde Dynasty, Xu Xiashang is already an old minister of the Four Dynasties, and his actual power may not be great, but his prestige in the government and the opposition and the clan cannot be reached by the ten emperors.

If Xu Xiashang openly supports Xu Zixian to stay in Beijing, the meaning is quite clear, supporting Xu Zixian to stay in Beijing as the future prince!

When there are no heirs today, Xu Zi will stay in Beijing first, whether it is himself or the son he gave birth to, the bloodline is similar to the imperial family, and he has an excellent reputation, coupled with the strong support of Xu Xiashang, he is almost the best candidate for the storage position!

Such a threat, even the Son of Heaven cannot be indifferently ignored!

If Liu Zhiyuan even connected the chamberlains and close ministers in the palace, exaggerated the threat and tied up Han Zhong and Xu Xiashang...... Xu Xiashang's prestige coupled with Han Zhong's power, Xu Zixian is not a possible prince, but in the short term, he is likely to become a realistic prince, and has quite a wide range of contacts and power, not only breaking the layout of the Son of Heaven in the storage position, but also possibly threatening the emperor's throne of the Son of Heaven!

Such a result is likely to make the Son of Heaven let go of his last fears, give up balancing the bottom line of the court, not to make the Jingshi turbulent, and completely support Liu Zhiyuan!

"Crazy, it's just crazy......" Fang Shaoqun stopped at his feet, his eyes were full of shock, regret, pain, hatred and other complicated expressions.

He really didn't expect that Liu Zhiyuan would be crazy to such a point?

The succession of the clan to the throne is much more serious than the Northern Expedition in terms of national fortunes. To provoke a battle for storage positions, it can only be endless, and it must be a river of blood.

If one party does not die, the other party will never rest assured, not to mention Han Zhong and others, even Xu Zixian and Xu Zicheng, who are actually involved in the close branch of the clan, must die, and they will not even give the opportunity to be banned by high walls.

Xu Zi has no brothers first, but Xu Zicheng still has clan elders and a few brothers, this time together, Wu Guogong and Nan'an Houfu are bound to be uprooted, there can be no exceptions, there can be no forgiveness and mercy.

Han Zhong will definitely die, the Han Party will be completely liquidated, Xu Xiashang, with his status and fame, can not be killed by explicit order, but death is inevitable.

This is a great injury, and the damage to the Great Wei Dynasty is fatal, and the next few years will be spent in turmoil and bloodshed.

"How could my father and son think of assisting such a madman?" Fang Shaoqun closed his eyes in pain...... Liu Zhiyuan was determined to forge ahead, although he was born noble, his father was the third envoy during the Chengzong period, his ancestor was a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, his ancestor was the privy deputy envoy during the Dezong period, and the distant ancestor of the Liu family was one of the local festival envoys who followed the Taizu of the Great Wei Dynasty.

Such a noble son, when he was a pro-people official, he was determined to forge ahead, reformed the old and clothed the new, did not accept bribes, loved the people and did not cripple the people, and hated Donghu when he mentioned the entry of Donghu, which may be his hatred for Donghu, which made Fang's father and son willing to assist such a lord. As a result, in the current situation, Fang Shaoqun realized that what Liu Zhiyuan was hiding under many masks was still the arrogance of the powerful and his disregard for the lives of the people.

In the eyes of the powerful, the people are a string of numbers that can be sacrificed, as long as they can complete their deeds and sacrifice hundreds of thousands, millions of people, what can they do?

It was very cold in the house, and Fang Shaoqun didn't call someone to make a brazier to keep warm, but although the room was cold, it was not as cold as his heart.

This mistake, several mistakes for life, Jinshi did not take the exam, and the merit was not accomplished, only to find out when I turned my head that the lord who had been sincerely assisting me was so unbearable.

Unconsciously, Fang Shaoqun had already sat until dawn, and when he went out, many servants looked at him with surprised eyes, and when he was washing, Fang Shaoqun was stunned to find that after sitting all night, his sideburns suddenly grew a lot of gray hair.

Fang Shaoqun didn't care, he still had the last illusion about Liu Zhiyuan, and after arriving in the front yard, he knew that Liu Zhiyuan had gone out in a sedan chair and went to the political hall to deal with official business.

"The master said that there are important matters to discuss with Mr. Fang after returning home." A staff member named Jin Shiqi said with a smile: "But I personally told you not to go out at will, it is best to wait for him to come back in the mansion." ”

"Oh, the rush is going to look me." Fang Shaoqun's face remained unchanged, and he said in a consistently mean tone: "Why didn't you send Yuan to come over with the tooth?" ”

This staff member is Liu Zhiyuan's confidant, after Liu Zhiyuan and Pu Shougao discussed last night, he urgently summoned this person to discuss with the other two staff, everyone was a little excited, but also a little afraid, of course, more expectation.

After this incident, the Han Party and the Right Prime Minister's forces were washed away, and there was no opponent of Liu Zhiyuan in the court, and Liu Zhiyuan could completely control the court and wash the place again in the name of the Han Party's henchmen.

and then take advantage of the Northern Expedition to install Liu officials, control all roads and the forbidden army in Beijing, and integrate the military and government, Liu Zhiyuan will not encounter a challenger in 20 years, and his position is as stable as Mount Tai.

With this kind of great wealth in front of him, what Fang Shaoqun has to think about, how can these staff members think too much?

After deciding on the plan, it was decided that Liu Zhiyuan would go to the political hall as usual, and the other two staff members visited the ministers who had been added to the rank of attendant and the chief eunuchs of the Inner Chamberlain.

At most, until tomorrow night, the rumors of Han Zhong, the left minister, colluding with the right minister, and plotting to save the throne will spread in the Jingshi.

At that time, even if the Son of Heaven wanted to calm down, Han Zhong's only choice could only be suicide or jumping off the wall in a hurry.

In Liu's Mansion, there is no intention, and with the assistance of Tianzi Langwei, it is almost a victory and no defeat.

During this period, of course, the news must be tightly sealed, and Han Zhong's people cannot be allowed to hear any rumors.

Liu's mansion has been closed, and only a few henchmen and staff members have been ordered to go out to run errands, and the rest of the people will stay in the mansion and are not allowed to go out without permission.

That is to say, Fang Shaoqun's status is relatively special, and if he changes to someone else, he is afraid that he will be driven back directly.

Liu Zhiyuan didn't suspect Fang Shaoqun of anything, but this Fang Shaoqun was arrogant, if he didn't agree with this matter, Liu Zhiyuan himself doubted whether he could suppress the kid surnamed Fang, let alone others.

In today's plan, he can only stabilize Fang Shaoqun first, and when he really wants to launch it, he has to ask Fang Shaoqun to help make up for the loopholes, repair the details, and the ability of the other party's Shaoqun, Liu Zhiyuan is still quite recognized and relied on.

"Fang Shaoqun, don't embarrass me......"

"I'm going to see Wang Zhi at Chaotianyi, this is what Da Shen ordered yesterday?" Fang Shaoqun rolled his eyes and said: "It is very important for Wang Zhi to enter Beijing, he will either face the saint this afternoon or tomorrow morning, and he has something to tell him, I can't go out, you go for me?" ”

I really forgot about this stubble!

Jin Shiqi hesitated for a moment, knowing that Wang Zhi's matter was also very important, involving Liu Zhiyuan's overall layout of the Northern Expedition and Northern Coastal Defense, which was indeed not to be ignored.

At the moment, I had to say: "Since this is the case, I will go with you Fang Shaoqun." ”

"Sneaky, I don't know what kind of demon is going on."

Liu Zhiyuan's mansion often has similar secrecy measures, Fang Shaoqun looked unimpressed, and Jin Shiqi's slightly nervous mind also relaxed.

Whether Fang Shaoqun is a human being or not an immortal, last night's incident, only three or four people, including Liu Zhiyuan, knew about it this morning, Fang Shaoqun was kept in the dark, how could he know that the big thing was imminent, and even Wang Zhi's matter was left behind by Liu Zhiyuan?

Jin Shiqi suddenly wanted to laugh, he had been commanded by Fang Shaoqun for a long time, so that Jin Shiqi was a little unbalanced, and the two of them called a team of tooth guards and hurried over in the direction of Chaotianyi.
