Because of Yuwentong's hospitality, Du Shiyi and Pei Ning met his two sons again and had dinner in the Ezhou Thorn History Bureau, but they politely declined their invitation to stay overnight and returned to the hostel.

Although Du Shiyi and Pei Ning once leaked their identities in the fish village, it is obvious that no one inside or outside the hostel knows about it. Pei Ning, who had been speechless all the way, stopped Du Shiyi before he entered the house, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Little junior brother, I have a few words for you. ”

"It's cold at night, the third senior brother comes into the house and talks."

Du Shiyi originally planned to go to Wang Rong, but since Pei Ning said it, how could he value his friends lightly, so he naturally let Pei Ning into the house immediately, and whispered a few words to Chen Bao'er. When he also entered the house and closed the door, he saw that Pei Ning did not sit down, but stood there looking at him, he couldn't help but ask in some surprise: "Why don't you say something directly when the third senior brother has something to say?" Isn't it possible for me to have flowers on my face? ”

"You, you are different from Cui Shiyilang" Pei Ning shook his head angrily and funny, and then asked thoughtfully, "Today, you promised Yuwentong to consider the matter of the two taxes, should you be sincere?" ”

"It's the first time I've met, how can I talk about it? He was Dai Yu Wenrong who tested me, and I could naturally tell it. Du Shiyi smiled bitterly, then forced Pei Ning to sit down, and then sat next to him, and said sincerely after a moment of silence, "Third Senior Brother, I might as well be honest with you." At the beginning, Yu Wenrong and I had a friendship, but it was just an occasional friendship at the beginning because of the official duties of Captain Wannian. But since then, his official fortune has been prosperous, and I have also been an official for a time, so Li Linfu made it clear in front of him, I naturally can't show his affection, and I agreed to communicate with each other and be an ally. ”

"Yu Wenrong does have the ability to make money, and he is not a person who is jealous of the virtuous." After Pei Ning spit out such a pertinent evaluation, he shook his head and said, "But I don't like him, especially his aggressive style and too radical methods." It stands to reason that he won't hack you because you didn't attack Zhang Shuo first as he intended this time. But the law of the two taxes is too implicated, with the prestige and qualifications of Song Kaifu, the previous proposal to pilot the two taxes on behalf of the rent has also caused a lot of criticism, not to mention you?

"If I really don't know the depth of the book, I will definitely run into a head." Du Shiyi smiled bitterly, agreeing with Pei Ning's words, but he immediately asked, "I just don't understand, Yuwenrong asked Yuwentong to lobby me, do you want me to bump into each other and break the bloodstream, or does he want to do something else?" For example, I know that my talents and virtues are not enough, so please ask Yuwen Rong to come forward to take the lead? ”

Pei Ning suddenly patted the armrest and said in a deep voice: "Maybe... It's killing two birds with one stone, and you're talking about both? ”

"If I don't do what I can, then let me break the bloodstream? If I knew the proportions, I would help Yu Wenrong to say that Song Kaifu of the Xiangguo of the Origin of the Kingdom and ask him to come forward to take charge of the matter? Is he really not afraid of offending people? ”

Du Shiyi only felt that his heart suddenly broke through, and then he exclaimed softly: "Yu Wenrong wants to ...... Really lay the foundation for entering the political hall in one fell swoop? ”

As soon as the words fell, the voice of Chibi and the people suddenly came from outside, followed by a gentle knock on the door: "Lang Jun, Yuyao Lady is here." ”

Wang Rong is the person who is the most proficient at judging the situation, if it is just an ordinary matter, he will never come in and disturb him when he is talking to Pei Ning, therefore, Du Shiyi saw that Pei Ning was about to get up, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop the person, and then walked quickly to the door. When he opened the door in person, he saw that behind Chibi, Wang Rong's face was a little dignified, and in his right hand was clearly a small and delicate copper cylinder.

"It's a letter from the thirteen mothers of Chang'an." Although it was said to be a family letter, Wang Rong's tone was unusually serious, "Our itinerary is uncertain all the way, and being able to send it to Ezhou is already the result of Grandpa's best efforts." I have already arranged the sender, can you first see if the seal is damaged? ”

Hearing that it was sent by Du Sanniang, Du Shiyi was surprised, and after carefully inspecting the seal of the seal, he was sure that there was no sign of damage to the seal, and after thinking about it, he said to Wang Rong: "You also come into the house to talk, I and the third senior brother just talked about some things in the capital, and I want to hear what your idea is." ”

Wang Rong had already seen Pei Ning in the room behind Du Shiyi, and hurriedly agreed to follow in. Du Shiyi gave an order to Chibi to continue guarding, and then closed the door, but he didn't notice that in the opposite guest room, Lu Cong, who was about to open the door and come out, happened to catch a glimpse of the scene where he let people into the house.

Letting Wang Rong into the room and sitting down, he went straight to open the mud seal of the copper cylinder, and when he took out the letterhead inside and hurriedly looked at it, he was stunned at first, and then hahadaxiao. Pei Ning, who was originally frowning, was inexplicably laughed by him, even Wang Rong. After laughing, Du Shiyi handed the letter to Pei Ning first, and then explained: "Thirteen Niang gave birth to a son safely before, and according to my previous proposed name, I named it Cui Lang." On a whim, Master Lu and Senior Brother also went to Cui's Courtyard on the outskirts of Luoyang, visited Lang'er and his sister, and walked around for a few before leaving. ”

"Ahh

Hearing that Du Sanniang now has both children and daughters, Wang Rong was also surprised and envious, and even forgot for a while that such a letter from home had used so many resources to send it to them in Ezhou. Du Shiyi, who was only happy, walked around the room for a while, but found that Pei Ning, who should have been happy because of Lu Hong's news, actually sat there thoughtfully holding a letter.

"Third Senior Brother? Three Senior Brothers"

Pei Ning came back to his senses after Du Shiyi shouted a few times. He lightly swept Du Shiyi and Wang Rong, and then lightly tapped the letterhead with his finger and said, "You two take a good look at this letter." ”

"Huh?"

Du Shiyi was a little strange, but after taking it back, she didn't bother to look at it, and after thinking about it, she handed it to Wang Rong first, and then recalled the concise but joyful letter one by one. Thinking about it, his eyes unconsciously flashed the two seemingly inadvertent words in the Thirteen Niang's earnest instructions.

“…… Lu Gong said, Shang Junshu has a saying, the teacher of the king, victory is not arrogant, defeat is not complaining. However, Shang Jun himself was first prominent and then defeated, and he also had his own way to take trouble. ”

And Wang Rong has already read this sentence directly. Seeing that Pei Ningguo nodded slightly, she couldn't help but ask: "What does the third senior brother mean is that this was brought to Du Lang by Lu Gong of Songshan Hanging Lian Peak asked Thirteen Niang?" ”

"It should be. Otherwise, with Thirteen Niang's sense of proportion, even if she is happy, how can she send the letter with such fanfare? As for whether there is still Xuanxu, little junior brother, you and Thirteen Niang have a deep relationship, then it is time for you to take a closer look. ”

Du Shiyi took back the letterhead from Wang Rong's hand again, remembering that his previous hint to Wang Han about how to let Zhang Shuo avoid the worry of his family's life was also entrained in his sister's family letter, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and secretly sighed that this was really a report for a report. Finding those three words in almost the same way, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.

"Far ...... House...... Text"

As a doctor of imperial history, Cui Yinfu can be said to be prestigious. It doesn't count that Zhang Shuo overturned the book in the hall, and now he is also in the Yushi Terrace, and there are not a few people who have been caught by him and deprecated by him. Even Yu Wenrong, a noble son of heaven, when he walked out of Cui's house that evening, he couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief in order to relieve the depression in his heart.

Cui Yinfu is an extremely strong person, and in order to gain the support of such a strong person, Yu Wenrong has to make certain concessions. For him, introducing Li Linfu as the middle of the imperial history, he has an extra right-hand man for a while, but this is far from enough, if there is no Cui Yinfu, not to mention the next thing, he will have fewer supporters, and it is impossible to win in one fell swoop before.

"Bear with it before you ......"

Li Linfu's mansion in the Eastern Capital is not big, when he learned that Yu Wenrong was visiting, he was drinking with Jiang Du, he pointed directly behind the screen, and after this cousin immediately hid, he stood up with a smile, and welcomed Yu Wenrong in a moment.

The two have not been intersecting for a day or two, Yu Wenrong values Li Linfu's wisdom and scheming, secondly, he also values his clan background, and his in-laws are innumerable, and thirdly, he values his relationship with Concubine Wu Hui in the palace. At this moment, when he entered the house and sat down, he said bluntly: "Cui Yinfu has already promised, and he must put Zhang to death."

"Doctor Cui is so decisive" Li Linfu stroked his palm, but said in a harsh voice, "Cutting the grass does not remove the roots, chūn wind blows and gives birth to Zhang said that after all, he once had an old relationship with the saint, if he returns to the appearance, then he will definitely find ways to make us die without a place to be buried."

"As long as you collect all kinds of charges from Zhang Shuo, he will be in danger of escaping at that time" Yu Wenrong smiled, and then asked thoughtfully, "By the way, does Du Jiulang have a letter from him?" ”

"His whereabouts are uncertain after he left Shu, and I have no news of him." Li Linfu shook his head without thinking, and seeing that Yuwenrong was a little disappointed, he hurriedly comforted, "Brother Yuwen doesn't have to be in a hurry. What Song Kaifu discussed before may have been just a momentary idea, and he didn't take it to heart. Moreover, Song Kaifu had previously banned bad money, but there were many complaints for a while, and everyone thought it was inconvenient, so he finally dismissed the prime minister, and financial planning was not his forte, which is a well-known thing. And it is already rare for Du Jiulang to be able to sort out the matter of tea administration, who else can you do about these two taxes? ”

After flattering Yuwenrong and drinking a lot of wine, Li Linfu personally sent the drunk person to the door, and when he returned to the room, he saw that Jiang Du had flashed out from behind the screen, so he squinted his eyes and said with sincerity: "Shiro, you change rì to find a chance to meet Cui Shiyi Lang and give him a heads-up." Yu Wenrong was a little too hasty, and asked Du Jiulang to be careful. Since he is outside, he should try not to get involved in these things of the court and China, so as not to suffer from the fish in the pond. ”

If it weren't for Du Shiyi's death, Jiang Du almost poisoned Wang Shouyi to avenge his father, so he naturally wanted to repay him. Therefore, just after hearing the words of Yu Wenrong and Li Linfu, Li Linfu reminded him like this at this moment, he naturally knew the severity, and promised to leave immediately. And as soon as he left, Li Linfu's face sank.

"Yu Wenrong simply wants to be the prime minister and wants to go crazy, Cui Yinfu said to Zhang that he hates it to the bone and follows madness, I don't want to accompany the two of them Zhang said that the old thief is very bright, and it is unprepared to sue him once, sue twice...... That's stupid, so it seems that you have to prepare a way back."
