Yan Zhenqing sat opposite Liu Hao and sighed: "As a brother, do you think that the people of the clan are so blatantly dealing with you and Li Hong?" ”

Liu Hao put down the pen in his hand and looked at Yan Zhenqing: "Brother Qingchen means that the prince of Chang'an deliberately muddies the waters?" If he and Concubine Wu Hui joined forces to push King Shou to the throne, Li Hong's chances of winning would really be gone. ”

Yan Zhenqing nodded: "That's true, one is the prince who feels ashamed of him by the clan, the other is the most favored concubine of His Majesty, plus King Shou himself and Corporal Lixian is generally knowledgeable, such a combination is much stronger than you and Li Hong." ”

Liu Hao smiled and said, "Brother Qingchen, you still don't look at the problem very objectively, you didn't put Your Majesty's attitude into it." It is said that King Shou is now a certainty, why has His Majesty not announced the question of the crown prince? There are also Shouwang and them, who are obviously holding the victory, why are they still struggling with us? Don't you think there's something wrong with this? ”

Yan Zhenqing scratched his head and said, "You mean, we still have a good chance of winning?" ”

Liu Hao shook his head: "I don't know the odds, I only know that if Your Majesty comes to Luoyang before August, everything will be settled." I have a way to get Li Hong on the throne, but I don't know what the odds are. It can only be said that even if Li Hong can't be the prince, he will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life. As long as His Majesty is still alive in the world, there will be no accident with Li Hong's life. ”

Yan Zhenqing was excited when she heard it: "What method can Zhicai have to turn the situation around?" Could it be the influence of the old immortals? ”

Liu Hao shook his head: "In the royal affairs, Uncle Shi can't interfere too much, at most remind Your Majesty." Although it feels mysterious, it is worthless to say it. I'm talking about family affection, and what Your Majesty values most is family affection. Although King Shou is smart and clever, and his manners are decent, he is too scheming at a young age, and His Majesty will not like it. That's our strength, or rather our only advantage. ”

Yan Zhenqing looked at Liu Hao in disbelief and said, "What about the military school?" What about the Arsenal? And your bookstore cement or something, none of that? ”

Liu Hao smiled bitterly and said: "These can only be regarded as my credit to Your Majesty, and it has nothing to do with Li Hong." Li Hong has no achievements now, so he can only work family affection. Wait and see, before His Majesty comes to Luoyang, the other party's movements will only get bigger and bigger. Brother Qingchen, don't always come over if you're fine, it will have an impact on your career. ”

Yan Zhenqing smiled: "It's nothing, a certain person in Zhongshu Province is just sorting out various manuscripts and serving tea and pouring water for the ministers." So-and-so's official position is too small, and no one cares. ”

Liu Hao looked at Yan Zhenqing with a straight look and said, "That's not good, do you think Mr. Weide and Brother Zimei have been here?" Now you can only protect yourself, and there won't be many actions on my side. In addition, Uncle Shi is seriously ill, and Zhang Gong's condition has not improved, so during this period, you must keep your distance from me. The thousands of people in the military academy are fine, and now even if I leave it alone, it will take my brand. You are different, you are officials, not my staff. ”

Yan Zhenqing nodded slightly: "I hope Your Majesty will come over soon, I don't want to be involved in the most dangerous battle in the officialdom just now." ”

Liu Hao sighed: "The prince's seizure of the prince has been the most dangerous since ancient times. Now that the Liu family has cleared up the relationship with heaven and earth, and the heaven and earth are taken care of by Brother Xiao, with Xiao Song here, no one dares to mess with him. The Chamber of Commerce is controlled by Brother Shimei, and he has the grandfather of Zhang Gelao, and no one will feel uncomfortable. My properties are all my private property, and others can't get their hands on it, and I make the military workshop and military academy by myself, and even if others get in, they can't figure it out. ”

Yan Zhenqing said with relief: "In this way, isn't it invulnerable?" ”

Liu Hao pointed at Yan Zhenqing: "My side is indeed invulnerable, but a few of you who have official status, if you don't keep your distance from me now, you will become a victim of the other party's attack." During this time, no matter what is said outside, I will take care of my uncle at home with peace of mind. ”

Yan Zhenqing said with a smile: "In this case, Brother Wei is going to go to Master Li Jie to complain, and I just happen to help him." You, Xiao Shiyilang and Chen Shimei are going to take the lead in pouring dirty water for your brother. ”

Liu Hao smiled: "You and my brothers join forces to tide over the difficulties together." Brothers work together, and their profits are broken. When His Majesty comes, everything will be gone. ”

Things in officialdom seem to be covered up like this, and sometimes splashing dirty water is to save people. For example, after Yan Zhenqing left the Liu family, he crossed his waist and scolded at Liu Hao's door, which was in great contrast with the humble image of Sven in the past, so that everyone from the Mencen family came out to see the excitement.

One of Cen Shen's clan brothers went out to see it, and he was immediately happy: "Brother Qingchen? What's wrong with you? scolded at the door of Zhicai like a shrew, insulting Sven. ”

Yan Zhenqing straightened up and said, "Brother Cen came just in time, you come to evaluate it." A certain and Zhicai can also be regarded as friends in trouble. At that time, we all invested in heaven and earth, and today a certain came to Zhicai to ask for some dividends to subsidize the family, but he actually denied it, saying that the dividends of a certain were counted as a certain official body, so that he could only promise to give a certain hundred times. Tell me, how can there be such a domineering person in the world, who still sells official beards, and is simply not a courtier. ”

Cen Shen's brother nodded: "It is said that when Brother Sam took money from his family to buy shares, the old people in the family were quite displeased. Tomorrow, he will confine his brother to his home and not associate with Zhicai. In their house, the water is too deep. Brother Qingchen, it's getting late, why don't you go to the house to talk about it, because my brother hasn't drunk with Brother Qingchen for a long time. ”

That night, Yan Zhenqing returned drunk at Cen's house, and on the way back to Cen's family, Yan Zhenqing almost scolded Liu Hao all the way. A few good soldiers listened to the carriage for a while, and immediately several people looked at each other in surprise, and then quietly told the news to the patrol soldiers after curfew at night.

In the back house of the Cen family, Cen Shen looked at the old man of the Cen family with an aggrieved expression: "Grandfather, why don't you let your grandson interact with Brother Hao?" Is there really a lack of money in the family? ”

Cen Shen's brother who was drinking with Yan Zhenqing patted his head and said, "Brother Sam, you are still too young. At this time, maintaining a relationship with Zhicai is to help him and ourselves. He doesn't want us people to get involved in the strife, and we don't want things to get bigger. Now it seems that Zhicai has been isolated by us, but in fact it has become unassailable. ”

The old man of the Cen family looked at this clan brother and asked, "Is this your idea?" ”

The man lowered his head embarrassedly: "It was Brother Qingchen who mentioned it, and Sun Er thought of this." ”

The old man of the Cen family sighed and said, "You can go to that chamber of commerce if you have nothing to do these days." No matter how much you read, you can't learn as much as you participate in it. Look at the kid of the Yan family, he came to Luoyang alone a few years ago, although he is famous, but he is not prominent. After getting acquainted with Zhicai, he became famous. Then I helped Zhicai do a lot, and now it's only half a year, and I can already take charge on my own. Although his young family was poor and worked hard, it was mainly Zhicai who gave him the opportunity. You two brothers should also seize these opportunities. ”

The two Cen Shen brothers nodded, and at the same time arched their hands and said, "Follow your grandfather's teachings!" ”

The next day, the matter of Liu Hao's private embezzlement of partners' dividends in Luoyang City has been spread in Luoyang City through the gossip of Fang Bing.

After Yan Zhenqing came out of the door, a few good soldiers asked why Yan Zhenqing scolded Liu Hao last night.

Yan Zhenqing immediately waved her hand to deny it when she heard it, emphasizing that she and Liu Hao were brothers, but her smile looked very reluctant, which added to the interest of this matter.

At Wang Wan's house, Wang Wan, who heard the news, grabbed Du Fu, who was going to reason with Yan Zhenqing, with one hand: "Zimei, you are also an official now, why are you so careless?" Don't you think this is Zhicai and Qingchen acting? In the past few days, don't have to deal with Zhicai, you can go to Qingchen if there is anything. Remember, the colder your attitude towards Zhicai, the better it will be for us and Zhicai. In addition, Ziyang Immortal is seriously ill, so Zhicai can just close the door and wait for His Majesty to come at home. All we can do is not to cause trouble for Zhicai. ”

Du Fu scratched his head and said, "Such a big thing, why didn't Zhicai say it in advance?" I had to go to Brother Qingchen to do it. ”

Wang Wan said with a smile: "This time it was a person from the clan who came to deliver the decree, he was obviously a messenger, but after coming to Luoyang, he did not leave, and he visited officials at all levels every day. This is the power to divide the talents. Zhicai will do what he wants, cut off contact with everyone, and seems to be isolated, but in fact he is invulnerable. Wait and see, there's still a lot to come. ”

Just when the rumors were boiling in Luoyang City, Liu Hao suddenly announced to the outside world that because Ziyang Immortal Chang was in poor health, recently, Dingyuan General's Mansion closed its doors to thank guests, and the business problems of heaven and earth were no longer asked, and the decision-making of the Chamber of Commerce was no longer involved.

In the camp outside the city, Gao Shi simply told everyone the news that Liu Hao sent through SF Express.

Lu Yue pursed his lips and said, "Zhicai, didn't this make me wait to be a turtle with a shrunken head?" ”

Wang Lao Wu said with a smile: "The general is thoughtful, I will just obey the order." From this day forward, all the mechanisms of the barracks are open, and if you want to enter, you can shout first. Some of the organs in it have been improved by Guo Tao and others, and they are much more powerful. ”

Gao Shi said with a smile: "If you and I have nothing to do, I will not go in and disturb it, Boss Wang can rest assured." ”

In the backyard of a large family in Luoyang City, Qin Cha, who gave Xiaoyaozi a message last time, raised his hand and smashed a teacup to pieces: "This bastard actually became a shrunken turtle, and that Li Hong, now he stays in Liu's house all day, and he has no chance to do it if he wants to, is it impossible to watch a play?" ”

A rich businessman with a smile next to him smiled: "What is the little prince afraid of, a certain one has a skill, and he will let the shrinking turtle stand up by himself!" ”
