Of course, it should be handled, and it should still be handled.

Even in later generations, capital is only a servant of power.

And what about now?

Businessmen must know and recognize their place and role in the country.

"Two gentlemen, how can Your Majesty have a misunderstanding?" Zhang Yue said quietly, looking at Tian Ming: "Don't make a mistake!" ”

Tian Ming was immediately frightened and hurriedly lay on the ground, took off his hat and apologized: "The kid is a capital crime, the kid is a capital crime!" ”

The first rule of survival of Han officialdom: The Son of Heaven cannot be wrong, if he is wrong, then the fault must be the world!

Don't look at the fact that the son of the Liu family can say at every turn: I am thin, there is no way to go far and the like.

However, if you believe it, then wash your neck and wait for death.

When Dong Zhongshu was inflated, he thought that he had mastered the truth, so he wanted to weave a cage for the monarchy morally and ethically.

And then......

His chief disciple, Lu Bushu, was ordered to leak secrets.

degraded Dong Zhongshu's recital to uselessness.

A sentence that there is no general, the general will be punished, so that Dong Zhongshu will never dare to talk nonsense again.

Confucian leaders, even so.

How can a mere businessman casually say such a thing as 'Your Majesty misunderstood'?

Doesn't that imply that today's children are not clear in their minds and are not holy enough?

How could the Son of Heaven, who is always correct and always sage, misunderstand a little businessman?

Joke!

Therefore, Tian Ming was really frightened.

Back then, Yan Yi, as Jiuqing, didn't say anything, so he was killed with a 'belly slander' hat.

This 'slip of the tongue' of his is really going to be stabbed, even Zhang Anshi can't save him.

Looking at Tian Ming, who was trembling, Zhang Yue sighed.

He remembered some memories of later generations.

Although more than 2,000 years have passed, in some respects, it is really very similar.

Not even much has changed.

But......

What does this have to do with Zhang Yue?

stepped forward to help Tian Ming, Zhang Yue smiled and comforted: "A gentleman doesn't have to be afraid......

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and he will not condemn ...... at will"

Well, as long as the Liu family still needs the signboard of Emperor Xiaowen of Emperor Taizong of the Han Dynasty to cover their shame, then the effect of Taizong's slander edict will always exist.

Ministers, nobles, and scholars may need to be careful not to hear from the mouth.

But ordinary people, casually discussing and gossiping, under normal circumstances, no one will care.

That is to say, the Tian family is a businessman, and a businessman has no human rights, so he should be worried and afraid.

But in fact, these worries and fears are superfluous.

If the emperor wants to slaughter a merchant, does he need excuses and justifications?

Not at all!

It's just that Tian Ming is young after all, and he suddenly became as docile and well-behaved as a sheep after such a beating than Zhang Yue.

He trembled and said: "What the waiter said is that Your Majesty is a martial artist, Ze is born by the common people, and among the four seas, even birds and beasts are also grateful for a long time......

Zhang Yue smiled lightly, took Tian Ming and Yang Xu's hands, and said meaningfully: "The Son of Heaven's holy grace, the two gentlemen should keep it in mind!" ”

"No!" Both bowed their heads.

Zhang Yue looked at them obediently, and then said: "Your Majesty sent an envoy to ask this official yesterday: I heard that there are rich businessmen and big families called Tian, Yang, and Yuan, who have thousands of hectares and thousands of hectares of fertile land, thousands of slaves and maids, 800 servants, rich people in the sea, extravagant and indulgent, can you smell evil?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Tian Ming and Yang Xu immediately bowed their heads.

It's Yuan Chang, who is also nervous.

Zhang Yue looked at them and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, the official replied to the Son of Heaven and said: I have heard of it, but from the perspective of the ministers, although Tian, Yang, and Yuan are rich, they are rich and righteous, and they hold the mean, and the loser is relieved of state affairs, and His Royal Highness the eldest grandson thinks that 'righteous business' is also ......."

Hearing this, the three of them all breathed a sigh of relief.

Tian Ming looked at Zhang Yue and bowed deeply: "Great grace in the service, no teeth are unforgettable!" ”

Yang Xuye paused and said: "Serve the kindness and righteousness, the kid is willing to go for the cattle and horses!" ”

Yuan Chang even bowed: "The teacher is very gracious, and the disciple will never forget!" ”

There is no way, the Son of Heaven of the Liu family has used countless times of blood and fire to prove to the world that he can indeed do whatever he wants without restrictions.

And the businessmen still remember this.

Salt and iron official camps, leveling and losing evenly, abolishing private money, and suing the ......

Each knife has hacked countless wealthy businessmen to death.

Those who have survived until now are people who recognize reality and know proportion.

Zhang Yue looked at the three of them and said leisurely: "This official personally guarantees that all the princes' homes are righteous businessmen in front of His Majesty......"

"I hope that you will go back and tell your respective elders that you will not make me lose my trust in front of Your Majesty......"

The murderous intent hidden in these words, the three of them naturally heard it clearly.

Yuan Chang was the first to bow and said: "Teacher, rest assured, my father has already entrusted: Yuan is willing to do everything he can to make a difference for the well-being of the teacher and His Royal Highness the eldest grandson and the people of the world!" ”

Tian Ming followed closely and bowed: "The servant is earnestly taught, and the boy will definitely return to his father......"

Yang Xu also said: "Don't worry, the kid knows how powerful!" ”

Zhang Yue listened, they are all smart people! This is the best, and it is not in vain for his hard work.

And with the dependence and obedience of Tian, Yuan, and Yang, many things will be easy to do in the future.

Especially those things that are inconvenient for the state and the government.

There are people who do it.

This is good!

…………………………

When night fell, Tian Ming returned to his home in Chang'an.

Although it is said that the household registration of the Tian family is in Maoling.

But the power of the five-baht coin god is far beyond imagination.

Therefore, the Tian family built a mansion on the periphery of Qili openly.

The whole of Chang'an City knows it.

But there's just no one to care.

As soon as he entered the door, Tian Ming saw his father, sitting in the living room, waiting for him.

"Son, greetings father!" Tian Ming hurriedly stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

His father, Tian Wenyuan, was a man who looked to be in his forties.

He was dressed in a simple green robe, with the beard that was the favorite of the middle-aged men of the Han family, wearing a knight on his head, and holding a scroll of slips in his hand, which looked no different from the scholars and doctors in Chang'an City.

"Zimeng is back?" Tian Wenyuan said softly: "I went to Xinfeng, what did I see?" ”

"My son doesn't know how to comment on ......" Tian Ming thought about it, sighed, and told what he had seen and heard in Xinfeng.

After hearing this, Tian Wenyuan got up lightly and sighed lightly: "Sure enough, it's Zhang Chiyou!" ”

"What a master of playing with people's hearts!"

Tian Ming listened and bowed his head deeply, he naturally knew that he was actually completely played with by that waiter in applause.

From the moment he saw the other party, everything he had was manipulated in the palm of his hand.

In the end, he almost pulled out his underwear.

This made Tian Ming feel a deep sense of shame in his heart.

Although he was a merchant's son, he also read books.

The young people of the Han family under the influence of the idea of great revenge are particularly full of self-esteem and sense of honor and shame.

Tian Mingzi is no exception.

"Zi Meng......" Tian Wenyuan lowered his head, put down the slip in his hand, looked at Tian Ming, and asked: "How do you feel in your heart when you are swayed and toyed with by Zhang Chiyou like this?" ”

"How dare my son have any ideas?" Tian Ming paused deeply: "Narrow Mount Tai surpasses the North Sea, how can people do it?" ”

Tian Wenyuan looked at his son and was extremely relieved, he was afraid that his son, who had been proud since he was a child, would have some wrong thoughts in his heart.

"My son!" Tian Wenyuan said: "Today, I went to see Zhang Shangshu for my father......"

"Do you know what Zhang Shangshu said?"

Without waiting for Tian Ming to answer, Tian Wenyuan said: "Zhang Shangshu said: Build a well-off and prosperous Taiping, the destiny of the Han family, although you are a businessman, An Neng is indifferent?" ”

Tian Ming listened, and asked respectfully, "What does Shang Shugong mean?" ”

Tian Wenyuan looked at his son and said softly: "Zhang Shangshu's meaning is that building a well-off and prosperous peace is the trend of the times, and my Tian family should follow the trend and not go against the current!" ”

Tian Ming listened and bowed his head deeply.

He understood that the relationship between the two was far deeper than he had guessed!

The fault is not the tradition of Zhuxia, the same surname does not intermarry, maybe Zhang Shangshu will stuff a daughter and go to that Zhang Chiyou - although, it seems that Zhang Shangshu's eldest daughter is only six years old this year......

……………………………………

It is only 300 steps away from Tianfu.

It's Yang's house.

When Tian Ming's father and son were talking, Yang Xu was also reporting what he had seen and heard.

At the head of him was a woman dressed in plain clothes and covered with a white veil.

She looks quite young, with a graceful posture, a plump body, and more importantly, a slender waist, like a young girl, when she sits upright, under the white plain clothes, her full posture almost wants to break out.

Although the face is covered with a white veil, it is difficult to see the appearance.

However, this taste of rejection and shame only made her more lustrous.

In Chang'an City, I don't know how many people there are, but after seeing her, they fell into it, and they wanted to worship the people who fell under her pomegranate skirt, I don't know how many.

Even Yang Xu didn't dare to look at her directly.

For fear that there should be thoughts in my heart, I blasphemed the 'mother' who raised me and taught adults.

"Is that really what Zhang Shizhong said to you?" The plain-clothed woman frowned slightly, lowered her head, her voice was a little cold, with a smell of rejection thousands of miles away.

Yang Xu listened, bowed his head and bowed: "Lord Mingjian! ”

"Zhang Shizhong is a strange man in the world!" The plain-clothed woman got up slightly: "Since Zhang Shizhong said so, there must be a plan!" ”

She was naturally a wise woman.

If it weren't for this, the Yang family would have been eaten a long time ago.

Yang Xu listened, but his heart was inexplicably delicious.

It feels bad!

Because this was the first time he had heard his 'mother' open his mouth to praise a certain man.

It feels as if some treasure is being taken away.

However, the plain woman did not care much about her 'son'.

She got up slightly, looked at the outside world, bit her lip lightly, and said, "Today, I went to see Mrs. Huo......

Yang Xu listened, raised his head and asked, "What did Mrs. Huo say?" ”

The plain-clothed woman bowed her head lightly and said, "I haven't even entered the gate of Huo Mansion ......."

"How so?" Yang Xu was shocked when he heard this, the Huo family is the biggest backer of the Yang family, and it is precisely by relying on the 'mother' that Mrs. Huo's best friend, as a sister, the Yang family can protect itself when surrounded by wolves.

He knew that once the matter was known to outsiders.

Then the Yang family will be torn to pieces immediately.

The plain-clothed woman didn't have Yang Xu's panic, but said leisurely: "This is a normal thing......"

"Now, the elder sister of the Huo family has become the eldest lady of the Huo family...... she laughed at herself: "How can she still be commensurate with a businessman and sister like me?" ”

"I didn't drive out the sticks, I just refused politely, I already missed the old feelings!"

In Chang'an City, walking on thin ice to maintain this small family, she has already seen through this world.

Especially the circle of noble ladies!

Every class has a social circle for each class.

is like that Huo Xian, who used to be commensurate with his sister, had an irreversible relationship, and even allowed and acquiesced in rumors from the outside world to create a protective umbrella for her.

Just to borrow her ability and talent to pave the way for her to ascend.

Now, since she is the eldest wife of the Huo family, the wife of Ming Media is marrying, where will she keep herself by her side and challenge her husband's endurance?

It's a normal woman, she wouldn't do such a thing.

"Mother......" Yang Xu lowered his head and muttered to himself, "Then where is my Yang family going?" ”

Without the wings of the Huo family, the Yang family's wealth and thousands of industries are like a rootless Ping.

Hugh said that it was him, and he was his mother, and I am afraid that he could not protect himself.

"Fortunately, Xu'er went to Xinfeng ......" The plain-clothed woman was not flustered: "Since Zhang Shizhong has a plot against my Yang family......

"Then I can naturally trade with ...... too"

It's just that from Huo's confinement to Zhang's confinement.

She doesn't care much about the things in the name, and she doesn't care very much.

As long as I can repay the favor!

The ancestors of the Yang family have great kindness to her and her family!

Therefore, although Yang Xuan was seriously ill back then, she still married Yang Xuan despite dissuasion.

Therefore, for so many years, he has been carefully protecting himself and Yang's industry.

Therefore, although she knows that the outside world covets and covets her, she is still strong in the face of these things.

"But ......" Yang Xu listened, bowed his head deeply, and said: "Mother, that Zhang You is a tiger and wolf!" ”

"It's not a humble gentleman like Huo Duwei......"

"A humble gentleman?" The plain-clothed woman couldn't help but laugh when she heard this.

If Huo Guang is a humble gentleman, then in this world, I am afraid there will be no madman.

Every time, she could see a deep look full of aggression in Huo Guang's eyes.

It's just that......

He can endure it!

I know how to endure too!

He has great ambitions in his heart, he can force himself, he can erase his desires.

Otherwise......

She is a weak woman, how can she be good so far?

Therefore, she looked at Yang Xu and said, "Xu'er is at ease, Zhang Shizhong is also a humble gentleman!" ”

Oh, yes!

These men!

Men who have the world in mind are humble gentlemen!

Moreover......

Even if the other party is not, she is a weak woman, what else can she do?

I can only give in with tears!

This is the way of the world.

Power, do whatever you want.

After thinking about it, she said to Yang Xu: "Xu'er, you go to the cellar and get the secret slip ......."

She knew very well that in addition to her appearance, her only bargaining chips were probably the secret methods and simple catalogues that the Yang family had hidden in the past dynasties.
