Chapter 304: The Insider



In the elegant wing, looking at the wedding card brought by Zhuge Xuan, Wei Ziqing's "He is going to be the enemy of our Wei family." Wei Ziqing looked at Zhuge Xuan, if there was no accident, he should have called the man in front of him his father-in-law.

"What are Ziqing going to do?" Looking at Wei Ziqing, who was disgruntled, Zhuge Xuan opened his mouth and asked, if he wants to win the Wei family, he must let the Wei family fight with Li Ang, so that he can act in secret, "Now that Your Majesty has a will, this matter is also difficult to do?" "The will in Zhuge Xuan's mouth is Cao Anmin's marriage document at the request of Li Ang, you must know that since the founding of the Great Qin, there is no emphasis on literati, let alone Confucianism, the court has always focused on practical interests, and no one will bother with anything like this kind of marriage.

"Uncle, this time it's not just my Wei family's face that has been lost! Uncle is also disgraced. "Although Wei Ziqing is angry, he has not yet dizzy, and dares to directly confront Li Ang, in the Great Qin Dynasty, although there is Emperor Wen thirty years of peace, the status of the literati has been slightly raised, but after the emperor ascended the throne, he vigorously expanded the army, and those dormant military families raised their heads again, although Li Ang was not from a big family, but his military exploits were real, the whole dynasty, except for those honors thirty years ago, no one compared, and after he returned to Chang'an, he asked the emperor to unload his armor and return to the field, It is even more to settle the minds of those high-ranking families, and now it seems that he is just hanging the vacant titles of General Zhengxi and Longyuan Pavilion University Scholar and Taifu, but Wei Ziqing understands in his heart that if he and Li Ang collide hard, I am afraid that it will be their Wei family who is unlucky, so he must drag the Zhuge family into the water, as long as he wins the Zhuge family, plus the Sima family and other families that their Wei family has befriended. He was sure to let Li Ang know the fate of offending the Wei family.

saw Wei Ziqing talking about the face of the Zhuge family. Zhuge Xuan was noncommittal, but his attitude made Wei Ziqing happy, if Zhuge Xuan was furious because of his words. He was going to suspect that there was a ghost in it, so he didn't say much at the moment, but just found an excuse and left first.

"It's a character, but it's a pity." When Wei Ziqing left, Zhuge Xuan shook his head lightly and sighed. After Wei Ziqing entered Chang'an, he came to visit him first, kept his mouth shut about his humiliation, and was also anxious to find trouble with Li Ang, which shows the depth of his city, but even if he has talent, it will be difficult to save the Wei family's decline, after all, he is not the only one who has to deal with the Wei family!

Ouchi of the Imperial Palace. In the imperial garden, Cao Anmin hugged the prince and looked at the princess who came to the palace to find him, and was a little surprised. Since becoming the sect of the Cao Chamber of Commerce, his sister has rarely entered the palace. Even if she came, she only came to visit the prince, but this time she found herself, but she didn't know what was going on.

"Brother Huang should know about General Li and the Wei family, right?" Looking at the brother holding his nephew, Cao Shengnan still had a flat face, she knew that Cao Anmin was a good brother, but now she was the local sect of the Cao Chamber of Commerce, and she was also a pivotal figure in the sect, so she couldn't get too close to this brother.

"General Li will have a lot of places to use money in the future, so I asked him to find the Wei family to get some." Cao Anmin replied, the Wei family's fat meat, there are many people staring at it, and he also knows that the Zhuge family wants to deal with the Wei family, it is from the meaning of the clan, and his sister is the one who plays a key role in it.

"Since the imperial brother is so frank, then Shengnan will not hide it from the imperial brother, and the elders of the Chamber of Commerce think that General Li is going to the Wei family Sancheng real estate is a bit too much." Cao Shengnan said his intention, the Wei family really offended not others, but the Cao Chamber of Commerce run by the clan and the great family, the Wei family and the Hedong Chamber of Commerce have done more and more business in the past ten years, which has invisibly made the Cao Chamber of Commerce lose a lot, which naturally makes the elders of the Chamber of Commerce very angry, Sima You knew about this matter from his own elders in the Chamber of Commerce, so he took the initiative to find Zhuge Xuan, wanting to get a piece of the pie from this matter.

"Is there a lot of industry?" Cao Anmin didn't look at his sister, but just looked at the chrysanthemums that had quietly bloomed in the imperial garden, and then sighed, "For the elders, maintaining the status of the Chamber of Commerce is the most important thing, if there is no General Li, it will be difficult for you to eradicate the Wei family from the Hedong Chamber of Commerce, at most it will make them lose their vitality, I am not wrong, right?" ”

"Brother Huang is not wrong, the elders mean to uproot the Wei family, and they don't care too much about those industries, but Brother Huang, you also know that there are many families in Chang'an, and there are many people who have business dealings with the Wei family, the elders have made such a decision, and they always want to appease them, and now General Li wants thirty percent at once, do you want us to pay money to appease those families?" Facing his brother, Cao Shengnan did not flinch at all, when Great Qin opened the country, the rules set by Emperor Taizu made the Cao family

Being able to use political power to deal with the Wei family, although it will be difficult to implement without Li Ang, she still has to fight for more benefits for the Cao Chamber of Commerce.

"Shengnan, I want to know, if it weren't for General Li, an upstart from the 'White Ding' background, and the Wei family's confrontation, do you think the Wei family would dare to use all their financial resources to deal with him, so as to fall into your trap?" Looking at his capable sister, Cao Anmin did not put on an emperor's shelf, but talked to her like a businessman, the Wei family does not have any big bad achievements, it is not easy to catch them, if you want them to collapse, you can only let them go bankrupt, but the Wei family has always been cautious in business matters, and it is extremely difficult to deal with them, but Li Ang is the best person to deal with the Wei family in the eyes of the Cao Chamber of Commerce.

Although Li Ang has made great achievements but is from a poor background, although he is also good friends with some families, but in the eyes of the people of the world, Li Ang, who once dealt with the elders of the ancestral hall for the emperor, has always been a person without a foundation in Chang'an, for the Wei family, an enemy like Li Ang, although it is difficult to deal with, but it is not impossible, if Li Ang provokes them, the Wei family will do their best to deal with him, and the only thing that the Wei family, who has no big power in military and politics, can do is their financial resources, and it just so happens that Li Ang also has some industry, The Wei family would definitely not mind letting Li Ang go bankrupt, after all, the Wei family was much stronger than Li Ang in terms of business.

It is precisely because of this that the elders of the Cao Chamber of Commerce made a decision, as for Zhuge Xuan, he only learned about this matter later, so he married the Wei family for his daughter, but he did not have the intention of plotting against the Wei family from the beginning.

Of course, Cao Shengnan understood what his brother meant, he repeatedly pointed out the importance of Li Ang, it was nothing more than that he didn't want to let Li Ang suffer, although she also had a good impression of Li Ang, but the burden on her shoulders did not allow her to show favoritism, and she didn't want to be gossiped about by the people in the Chamber of Commerce because of this, "Brother Huang, please think about it again." Cao Shengnan didn't say anything more, just sat up straight and said with a straight face.

Looking at his sister sitting quietly in front of him, Cao Anmin shook his head, of course he knew how strong his sister named Shengnan was, and what she represented was not the meaning of her alone, but the meaning of the entire Cao Chamber of Commerce, even if he was the emperor, he could not ignore the interests of the clan and the great families, and after pondering for a while, he looked at his sister, "How much have you decided to give to General Li?" ”

"As long as General Li asks the Wei family to go all out, then we will take over the next thing, and we will not let General Li take any risks." Cao Shengnan did not directly answer his brother's question, but said so.

"Tell me, how much?" Cao Anmin's face was a little displeased, he could tell from the meaning of his sister's words, those elders promised to give absolutely not much.

"Ishei." After hesitating for a moment, Cao Shengnan said the number set by those elders, in the eyes of those elders, Yicheng is enough, you must know that the Wei family is rich in Hedong, and this Cheng's family property is enough to withstand all the family property of some families.

"Ichisei, it's so good!" Cao Anmin heard the number in his sister's mouth, but laughed in a low voice, of course Cao Shengnan would not think that his brother really thought it was very good, but she couldn't help it, this was the decision of the elders, and she, the sect leader, could only try her best to make her brother accept, as for Li Ang, everyone knew that he was the imperial brother's henchman, and he was a real confidant, as long as the imperial brother nodded, he would have no problems there.

"Katsuo, I don't want to say anything else, I just ask you, do you think the figure of Ishei is reasonable?" Cao Anmin suppressed his anger, just looked at his sister and asked.

Cao Shengnan didn't answer, just shook her head, she understood that for her brother, the Wei family's affairs were the best opportunity he could give Li Ang, and the western expedition after fifteen years would cost countless money, and the support that Li Ang could get from the court was limited, so the accumulation in the past fifteen years was particularly important, and the current Wei family's industry was a good source of money, and it was too difficult for her brother and Li Ang to give up.

"Very good, Katsuo, you are not confused, it seems that those elders made this decision, right?" Cao Anmin looked at the strong sister in front of him with some pity, "Do you think those elders don't know my thoughts?" Speaking of this, he looked at his thoughtful sister and sighed, "You became a sect as a woman, although it is not without precedent, but those people are always unconvinced, Yicheng, I will never agree, they just want to take the opportunity to let you step down." ”

What her brother said, Cao Shengnan didn't think about it, but she didn't want to believe it, and for a while, both of them fell silent
