Chapter Ninety-Three: Infernal Affairs

After entering Liu's mansion, Liu Yong instructed the housekeeper Liu Quan to bring Xiao Lizi into the hall to wait, while he took Yu Fan directly to the study. @ๆจ‚@ๆ–‡@ๅฐ@่ฏด|

When he came to Liu Yong's study, Yu Fan saw that the walls were hung all around with masterpieces signed by Wang Xizhi, Zhong Xuan, Yan Zhenqing, Su Shi and other calligraphers, and thought, wow, it's really spectacular, this shouldn't be all genuine! If it is genuine, judging from Liu Yong's Yulu, a fraction of 1/10,000 is not enough!

Seeing Yu Fan looking at the calligraphy and calligraphy of the surrounding walls, Liu Yong also felt a little proud in his heart and said, "Hehe! Your Majesty, this is just the work of the old minister who has nothing to do, I'm afraid it will make your Majesty laugh! โ€

Yu Fan didn't know calligraphy, so he couldn't tell whether it was a copy or a genuine handwriting, and said: "I still think it's a genuine handiwork!" Also, if it's genuine, it's not a signature, but a direct stamp, right? Hehe! โ€

"Huh? Lord Liu, this should be your own real work! Yu Fan pointed to one of the calligraphy notes with the content of "Shu Dao Difficulty" and asked.

"Your Majesty is really wise, this is indeed the old minister's clumsiness!" , Liu Yong is also a little speechless, as long as he sees his name written on the last seal of calligraphy, everyone knows that he wrote it! The emperor can still ask!

In fact, Yu Fan just asked casually, because the word Liu Yong on the seal left on the book is in traditional Chinese, and it is engraved twisted and twisted, so it is strange that Yu Fan can recognize it! He just thinks this copy is different from the others! I didn't expect it to be a blind cat that touched a dead mouse!

After knowing that it was Liu Yong's handwritten calligraphy, Yu Fan immediately recalled the introduction of Liu Yong's calligraphy in the previous history books, and said: "Lord Liu, your calligraphy is really worthy of its name!" When I saw it, I was amazed! You see, this word is jade and round, the rules and regulations are neat and clear, the ink color is deep and heavy, the thickness of the strokes is arbitrary, and the knot is rigorous and stretched, which is not only in line with the ancient law but also has new ideas! Also, at a glance at your book style, Xue Zhiyong and even Wei Jin and innovative, the knot is rigorous and stretched, rarely fluttering, smooth and gorgeous form, but each word is its own round, the strength is introverted, and the echo relationship between the words is just right, and finally reaches the high level of seeking vividness with childishness and seeking change with strictness! In my opinion, you can be called a master of calligraphy! I learned a lot from it! โ€

Hearing Yu Fan say this, Liu Yong's eyes lit up, and he thought, what the emperor said is really like that! However, the emperor is not like this in ordinary times, and tonight is so abnormal, is he hinting at something? Thinking of Yu Fan's performance in the early court today, Liu Yong felt that he couldn't understand the emperor in front of him!

Yu Fan saw that Liu Yong seemed to be thinking about something, and thought to himself, he would have to visit Wang Jie later, it seems that he had entered the topic earlier and discussed the matter!

Yu Fan no longer discussed the issue of calligraphy, and said directly: "Lord Liu, I don't know what you think about the decision of the heir to go up earlier?!" โ€

Hearing Yu Fan suddenly ask like this, Liu Yong was a little caught off guard, thinking to himself, he didn't have an opinion, but there were a lot of questions!

"Huh! The old minister didn't have any opinion, but Your Majesty, you said that you would raise a million taels of silver in three days, and the old minister thought that you were too reckless! A million pieces of silver is not a small amount! Moreover, Your Majesty, you seem to have said that in order to raise money, you need to set up a Red Cross Relief Committee, but the old minister is shallow and uneducated, and the old minister has not heard of any committee! I hope Your Majesty can explain a thing or two! โ€

Yu Fan originally thought that Liu Yong wanted to ask why he wanted to attack Liu Xincan, but he didn't expect Liu Yong to ask him about the Red Cross Rescue Committee, but since the topic was opened, Yu Fan had to briefly tell Liu Yong about the role of the Red Cross Committee, and hoped that Liu Yong would help find a few people he could trust to help him.

After Yu Fan finished speaking, Liu Yong fell silent, although he admitted that Yu Fan's idea was somewhat novel and bold, but it was very difficult to implement, let alone complete it within three days! However, hearing Yu Fan say that he would provide trustworthy manpower by himself, Liu Yong's heart was lively, thinking that this was the emperor's hint to himself! Could it be that the long-dormant emperor is going to start some new moves? Finally going to be erect?!

Seeing that Liu Yong was silent again, Yu Fan simply opened the skylight and said something bright, and continued: "Lord Liu, you and I both understand the situation in the court, the reason why the heir came to Lord Liu's mansion to find a helper is that on the one hand, the heir lacks the talent to manage and settle accounts, and on the other hand, he hopes that Lord Liu can join forces with the heir to deal with He Shen, and what the heir is talking about is not secretly joining forces, but joining forces openly!" โ€

"Dealing with Heshen?! Joining forces openly?! Liu Yong was a little surprised, can you say this! Just hint at some no!

"Yes, Lord Liu, if you don't say it, I also know that since Huang Ama passed the throne to the heir, although the heir is called the emperor, and he is called long live by the mountains every day in the early dynasty, but which minister can really call the emperor in his heart! I'm afraid they will all be called the Three Emperors or directly called the puppet emperor! He's had enough, and he's got a temper! He Shen's behavior, he can't see it anymore! Therefore, Hei decided to deal with He Shen, and Hei plans to stop sneaking around, and plans to throw off his sleeves and do it with He Shen openly! Lord Liu, in a word, do you dare to follow the heir to turn over and Shen!! โ€

"Uhh

Liu Yong said anxiously: "Your Majesty, the old minister you said understands that the old minister also hates Heshen, the old thief and the old greedy turtle!" But, Your Majesty, you and I both know that the current Heshen has the protection of the Emperor, and if he does it clearly, we may join forces to kill him, but he will be countered!! โ€

"Uhh I am also a knowledgeable person, the way of Confucius and Mencius, and the teachings of the sages have been read for decades, and I was actually taken bad by the emperor when I was old!

"Hey, hey! And my lord, the meaning of the heir is not to do it with He Shen in the court, but that you can help the heir clearly! For example, this time, I hope that Lord Liu, you can find some trustworthy and innocent people to help the heir, and the heir plans to sneak into Heshen's side as an undercover agent! Playing Infernal Affairs?! โ€

"What?! Undercover?! Infernal Affairs?! Liu Yong wondered if the emperor had driven He Shen crazy, how could he try his best to come up with some strange ideas!

"Yes, Lord Liu, did the heir dismiss Liu Xincan on the spot in front of the Manchu Dynasty today? Do you think that the heir was forced to do this because of Heshen's obscenity, not at all! Heshen is putting a smoke bomb on Heshen! โ€

"What?! Smoke grenades?! โ€

"Yes, Lord Liu, you also know that the old man is not in good health, and He Shen is a shrewd person, he will definitely plan for his back road, what is the back road, of course, he will pay attention to the heir! Therefore, in the past few days, He Shen has been showing favor to the heir, but who is the heir, can he be in the same stream with He Shen! Thinking about it again, since He Shen is paying attention to him, why can't he take advantage of him! Therefore, Hei plans to pretend to surrender to Heshen, cooperate with him, get close to him, and use Heshen to do a lot of things, such as many decisions of Heshen, he may not oppose it in the future, isn't this a good opportunity for us?! Lord Liu, you say yes! โ€

"Well...ยทยท", Liu Yong picked up his beard and thought about it, remembering that he had been suppressed by He Shen in the past few years when he returned to the dynasty, and occasionally fought back but it was not painful, according to the emperor's thoughts, it is not unreasonable, as long as it is implemented properly, it is a good way to bring down He Shen!
