When he arrived in the middle hall, Liu Yan did not sit upright, but sat on the Yin seat with his knees very easily, and Gao Yue knelt down opposite him.

The incense burner was burning with curling green smoke, diffusing around the two of them.

Pan Yan just walked out behind the cloister curtain and saw Yuezhang and Gao Yue sitting opposite each other, so he silently withdrew.

It's really a coincidence, it just so happened that Liu Yan came to his daughter's house today, and Gao Yue originally just wanted to bring a word through Pan Yan.

"What Yi Song wants to say is that Yang Yan returned to Beijing to serve as a servant?" Before Gao Yue could speak, Liu Yan directly broke the reason why Gao Yue came here.

Gao Yue was full of thoughts, bit his lip, and finally confided in his heart: "Huo Zhongyi, the envoy of the Ten Princes' Mansion, Wang Gongsu, and Wang Weirong, the envoy of the Neizhuang Mansion, ......"

"That's right, they are all the henchmen of King Han, and I have more or less intersected with this group of people, including the former military squire Li Gan." Liu Yan's words were extremely straightforward, and then he said even more boldly, "When Emperor Daxing returned to the world, I did participate in the forbidden matter, and persuaded Emperor Daxing to abolish the crown prince and establish the king of Han. ”

As soon as these words came out, it was suddenly like thunder, and it exploded to make Gao Yue's ear chakra buzz:

Impossible, impossible...... With Liu Yan's personality, how could he really participate in this kind of thing, what a shrewd person he is!

Seeing Gao Yue's pale face, Liu Yan also understood that he was unacceptable for a while, so he stood up, slowly paced two steps, turned his back to Gao Yue, who was still kneeling, and continued:

"I have been in charge of the world's wealth and profit for more than ten years, does Yi Song really think that it is because of the grace of God? Yi Song can know what I ...... because of the first two demotion of the official" After speaking, Liu Yan turned to Gao Yue and lifted his head with his fingers, Gao Yue clearly saw that the old man had a deep scar on his forehead, "In the second year of the last century, I was tortured by Zhongcheng Jingyu of Yushitai for leaking the ban on Chinese language and resentment of merit and resentment, and then degraded to Tongzhou, and this scar was left in the prison of Yushitai at that time...... Forbidden Chinese? Yi Song is a smart person, of course he knows what I leaked. ”

Hearing this, Gao Yue lowered his head again, he understood: there was still a year left before Su Zong's death, and Su Zong's health was already very poor at that time, he was sick in bed, and issued an edict to let the prince (that is, Daizong Li Yu) supervise the country, and the struggle between the prince Li Yu and the queen Zhang Liangdi also reached a white-hot situation. They all participated in the royal strife, and they all supported the crown prince.

However, the alternation of the two emperors of Su and Dai is much more bloody than that of Gao Yue, Li Shi was very clever not to involve the king of Han when dealing with Huo Zhongyi, and in general it is quite benevolent: and his father Li Yu was supported by Li Fuguo and Cheng Yuanzhen's army, and preemptively killed Empress Zhang and her henchmen, and the soldiers of the forbidden army dragged Empress Zhang away alive in front of Suzong's sickbed, and Suzong was also frightened and died two days later, and the court was trapped in a sea of blood, and later Li Yu appeased the "meritorious" soldiers in the coup d'état. It is deliberately listed as "Baoying Yuancong", which is the predecessor of Baoying Army.

Li Yu, who used to be warm and affectionate to Gao Yue, actually had blood on his hands on the way to the throne.

"The second time I was demoted, it was because I was implicated by Cheng Yuanzhen, but there was nothing wronged, I did have a close relationship with Cheng Yuanzhen, and when I was a transit envoy, I spent a lot of money to appease him." Liu Yan continued, "Yi Song, in my life, I have used the gains of profit and power to bribe many officials and power to secure the position, but I also helped some lonely scholars, you are probably one of them!" ”

Hearing Liu Yan's words, Gao Yue's heart was even more uncomfortable and painful, why did Liu Yan want to stay in place? Is it because the country's finances are inseparable from him, and in addition, doesn't he also reuse and promote many people like Dai Shulun, Liu Changqing, Zhang Ji, and himself to support the country? I was in Jingyuan Tuntian, and a year later, a small achievement was brutally abolished, and Liu Yan was in charge of the financial power of the entire southeast at that time, could he afford to delay? Then the only feasible way is really to rely on bribes of all kinds of powerful people. But I don't know when these will become crimes that will put you to death.

"Everything always has a cause and effect, and the second time I was demoted, it was another favored lieutenant who helped me reinstate."

"Huo Zhongyi ......"

Liu Yan nodded and laughed, meaning that Gao Yue guessed correctly, "So from that time on, it is impossible for my name not to be associated with Huo Zhongyi and even the entire Han Wang Party...... Haha, Yi Song may not believe it, in fact, when I was young, I had a very good relationship with Yuan Zai, at that time we were officials in the same dynasty, I was good at financial management, he was ambitious, we both admired each other, we both relied on our own way to leap up, and also cited each other, like two young eagles, I can't wait to flutter my wings in the sky above this imperial city. But in the end, when their wings and feathers were full, I, who was in charge of the wealth of the southeast, became the party of King Han, and Yuan Zai, who was alone in the country, became the party of the prince...... On the day after the first encounter with Yisong, Yuan Gongfu died in front of me, and before he died, he stuffed his mouth ......"

After finishing speaking, Liu Yan sat opposite him again, lifted the tea pot, and the sound of knock knock sound sounded, and the tea cup in front of Gao Yue gradually filled.

"Drink, the 'dove pit' that the scholar once sent when he was Sima in Muzhou."

Gao Yue hung his hand, what he wanted to say, what he wanted to remind, maybe Liu Yan knew everything.

At this time, Liu Yan's ugly and clear face smiled, and he stretched out his hand to persuade himself, "Drink, it's delicious." I don't have time for sencha, so I can only drink ready-to-drink hermitage. ”

Gao Yue picked up the teacup and took two sips, the originally luscious tea entered his throat, but he felt sour and speechless.

But Liu Yan looked at himself, "In fact, when I was eight years old, I was the same as Yisong, and I worked as an orthography in the Prince Chunfang Economic Bureau, when Emperor Xuanzong's Yang Concubine (1) held me on her lap and asked me, orthographic, can you know which word is the most difficult in the world?" Then Liu Yan briefly fell into the memory, and laughed again, "What I answered is that the only word 'friend' in the world is the most difficult to correct." That was when Zhang Yangong (said) and Yu Wenrong's two-party struggle was the most fierce, but who would have thought that decades later, my own 'friend' word would also be unbelievable......"

"Make ...... each other"

"Yi Song, as a servant of the palace, you can't say that you have seen me here in the future, and I can't ask you about the inside story of the judge who recruited the camp for Shence. After drinking this cup of tea, let's go back! Also, I will do the affairs of Jingzhou for you, I once said that since you have ambitions and ideals in your bag, it would be a pity to put them on the shelf, and you must be given a chance to realize it. ”

Gao Yue suppressed himself, craned his neck, drank the tea, and then gave Liu Yan a long three strokes, and then turned to leave.

When he walked to the bottom of the corridor, Liu Yan suddenly sat down in place and asked him from behind: "Yisong has a lot of money now, is his mind small?" ”

"Make the phase feel at ease, and you can still sing the > of < Weicheng song." After speaking, Gao Yue said goodbye to the owner of Pan Yan's mansion.
