Li Liang's expression was calm, he was not shocked, and said lightly: "Xu Guogong, do you know that my ancestor was the leader of the Guzang Chamber of Commerce?" ”

Yu Wenshu nodded: "I know this, Lingzun Li Fan Li Daxing, was in the Liangzhou area back then, but everyone knew about it." As soon as Yuwen spoke, he suddenly realized that it was inappropriate to call his father in front of others, and the Han family talked about these things like this, and even some Han families in the south of the Yangtze River, such as Huan Xuan, the son of Huan Wen, a famous general in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, because the emperor said the word "warm wine" in front of him, he committed Huan Wen's confession, and cried bitterly on the spot, and also won a big name of filial piety. Thinking of this, Yu Wenshu stopped his mouth, and his face was a little apologetic.

But Li Liang didn't seem to be affected by this aspect at all, and he didn't even think about this matter, he said with a frothing mouth: "When my father was still alive, Wang Shichong has always been very polite to us, probably because his business was just starting out at that time, if it wasn't for our Guzang Chamber of Commerce to agree to him to do business, he wouldn't have been able to open the Silk Road in the Western Regions at all, but as your business got bigger and bigger in the past few years, just like his grandfather, he gradually became unkind to us, and he used to come to Guzang once or twice a year." , personally came to visit each of our families, but over the years, he has rarely come in person, called to send some stewards to command, really when we are a rich merchant who is a steward of his surname Wang. ”

"My father passed away the year before last. Originally, according to the rules of how many years, our Guzang business group decided the next business group leader by ourselves. The arrangement made by the late father before his death. I have said hello to the other three, and with some benefits of industrial transfer, the other three Cao, Liang, and An are willing to withdraw from the competition for the next head of the business group, but Wang Shichong, this guy, suddenly came to Guzang when the president of the chamber of commerce was in a meeting, and he didn't know what unsavory methods he used. Let the other three families choose him when they re-elect the president, hum, it's bearable, it's unbearable! ”

Yu Wenshu sneered in his heart, this Li Liang also seems to be a businessman who has nothing in his stomach, compared with those celebrities and gentlemen, he is too far behind, and his bearing is even more insufficient, how can a person who does great things show that he has no city government, and he shook out all the hole cards in front of the outsiders he met for the first time, so it seems. Defeated by Wang Shichong's hands, but he was not wronged at all.

But Yu Wenshu still had a smile on his face: "It turns out that President Li and Wang Shichong still have such a festival. This Wang Shichong is really not a thing, he actually ruined President Li's good deeds, and it is reasonable for you to hate him. ”

Li Liang sighed, and his expression became sad: "What kind of president am I now, Wang Shichong is the president of the Guzang Chamber of Commerce, and the current Guzang is all up to him, the four of us are just the name of the top vice president, and I just work for him, I think it won't take 20 years for this to continue, and our four wealthy businessmen will be completely annexed by the surname Wang." ”

Yu Wenhua blinked: "No, I heard that the four major chambers of commerce in Guzang are all super business giants that have been based in Liangzhou for hundreds of years, and if outsiders want to enter, it is difficult to climb to the sky, how can this Wang Shichong be able to force the four of you to be like this in just a few years?" Why do you listen to him? ”

Li Liang gritted his teeth: "When this guy first came, his strength was insufficient, and he had to beg us to let him enter Guzang City to do business, and as for the Western Regions, there was no relationship." Originally, the four of us made a solemn decision to join forces to drive him out of Guzang, and the An family, who had contributed the most when he drove away his grandfather before, personally found the Datou Khan of the Western Turks to set up a bureau for him, but I don't know what tricks he used, he was able to counteract the An family, and he was also involved with the Datou Khan, and the three of us had no choice but to agree to him to open a store in Guzang and join our Guzang's Chamber of Commerce. ”

Feng Lun shook his head: "Brother Li, it's not me talking about you, you are really too careless, even if you tore your face with the An family back then, you can't let this Wang Shichong enter Guzang, he is a strong dragon from outside, unlike you who are only limited to Guzang and the Western Regions, the Hexi Corridor, sooner or later he will definitely annex you." ”

Li Liang patted his thigh hatefully: "I only hate that our Guzang families have been fighting for too long, and they have relaxed their vigilance, which has given the surname Wang an opportunity, he was very well-behaved when he first came to us, not only did he not fight for power and profit, but also gave us a lot of benefits every year, and he did not show any ambition to compete for the Guzang market." After a long time, we all relaxed our vigilance, thinking that he was just relying on us to maintain a Silk Road to the Western Regions, and had no intention of gaining a long-term foothold here, but I didn't expect that when he was elected president three years ago, he suddenly made a move, and I don't know what method he used, except for the An family who cooperated with him in the morning, even the Cao family and the Liang family also fell to him, and then I knew that Wang Shichong's real ambition was to dominate the entire Western Regions Silk Road! ”

Yuwen Shuyi frowned: "Li Xingshou, is it possible that the Cao family and the Liang family don't understand such a simple truth?" It's the An family, and what means did he use to restrain him, you haven't asked for so many years? ”

Li Liang sighed: "The An family is a Hu person, and they have always taken the line of the Western Regions, Wang Shichong used to befriend Datou Khan, and after the death of Datou Khan, he supported Luo Khan, who is now dominating in the Western Regions, I heard that the accession of Luo Khan here still relied on Wang Shichong's funding." ”

Yu Wenshu's face changed: "What, this Wang Shichong still has the ability to influence the accession of the Western Turk Khan?" ”

Li Liang nodded: "Does Xu Guogong still remember that Datou Khan?" In the east-Turkic Dulan Khan was defeated, Qimin Khan ascended the throne, close to the Great Sui, the Datou Khan, who was unwilling to surrender, proclaimed himself Bujia Khan, the lord of the entire Turkic, continued to oppose my Great Sui, in the twenty years of the emperor, was defeated by Yang Su, the Duke of Chu, 200,000 troops, less than 30,000 returned. Since then, the power of Datou Khan has become weaker and weaker, and his subordinate Tiele tribes have also begun to rebel against him, and in the early years of Renshou, Datou Khan was defeated by the Tiele tribe and fled into the Tianshan Mountains. Nowhere to be found. I think I was killed. ”

Yu Wenshu nodded: "Of course the old man knows about this." Later, the Chuluo Khan, who ascended the throne, heard that it was from the original Apo Khan line, what is going on? ”

Li Liang Zhengse said: "Back then, the Khan of the Eastern Turks, Tubo Khan, originally wanted to pass the throne to his son Da Luobian, but before he died, he changed his mind and passed the throne to his nephew, which made Da Luo Ben furious and almost rebelled. But he was later defeated by the Khan of Shabalu, who held a heavy army, and the new khan simply gave up the Khan position to the photo, according to the habits of our Central Plains, the photograph can only be called the clan, not the direct heir to the throne, in order to buy people's hearts, he did not kill Da Luo, but named him Apo Khan, and his territory is between the two Turks in the east and west. This is the origin of the system of the Three Khans of the Turks. ”

"When the emperor was three years old. The three khans joined forces to go south, and later General Changsun Sheng used a plan to provoke mutual suspicion among the three khans. In the end, Apo Khan was attacked and killed by the Turki Khan of the Eastern Turks, who was close to my Great Sui, and the position of Apo Khan was vacated. ”

"The Datou Khan of the Western Turks has always been against my Great Sui, after the death of Apo Khan, he supported his grandson to inherit the throne of Apo Khan, and since then Apo Khan has become the puppet of the Western Turks, the position of Apo Khan, in the last years of the emperor's reign passed to the head of the Chuluo Khan, this Chuluo is a coward, his mother, that is, the granddaughter-in-law of the Datou Khan, is a Han Chinese, after the death of the father Khan of the Chuluo Khan, married his uncle Poshtler, and the two later came to live in the territory of my Great Sui and became hostages."

"After the defeat of Datou Khan, the Western Turks were in turmoil, and all the small Khans competed for the throne, originally this khanate was not the turn of the coward to sit here, but I heard that Wang Shichong borrowed a large amount of money from him, so that he could buy the Zhaowu nine surnamed Hu people in Central Asia, and also sent the Tiele people to help in the war, and actually let the Chuluo Khan ascend to the throne of the Western Turks, in return, almost all the markets of the countries in the Western Regions were handed over to Wang Shichong, and the An family originally took this line, of course, they could only bow to Wang Shichong."

Yuwenshu's eyes flashed with coldness: "But in the ears of our important ministers, what we heard was that Pei Shiju sent several envoys to the Western Turks, and relied on a series of divisive and disintegration methods to completely conquer the Western Turks and make the Chuluo Khan submit to my Great Sui, what is going on?" ”

Li Liang sneered: "This Pei Shiju is so good that he can wear a pair of pants with Wang Shichong, all his back and forth expenses in Guzang are borne by Wang Shichong, and the huge amount of money for activities in the Western Regions must also be made by Wang Shichong, Xu Guogong, think about it, that is to support a khan and buy a country, how much does it cost?" Did Da Sui come out with this money? ”

Yuwen Shu nodded thoughtfully: "However, this kind of division and disintegration of the Turks has always been unseemly, and the huge expenses used are unlikely to go from the treasury, in the past, for the Eastern Turks, it has always been Changsun Sheng who did this, Gao Xi gave him money, and Pei Shiju disintegrated the Western Turks during the Renshou period, it stands to reason that the Duke of Chu should be responsible, what ............is this money?"

Feng Lun immediately said: "Xu Guogong clearly observed that the Duke of Chu was jealous and alienated by the former emperor during the Renshou period, and he excluded the real power department early, and did not even let him go to the court every day, how could he completely interfere in Turkic affairs like Gao Xi did before?" The money that Pei Shiju gave to the Western Regions did not go from the treasury, except for Wang Shichong, who could afford it? ”

Yuwenshu's eyes sparkled: "If this is the case, then Wang Shichong's energy is even greater, not only to get acquainted with the courtiers, to have contacts with the Guanlong Military Meritorious Group and the family, but also to reach out to the Turks, this person is too terrible, I need to play the Supreme immediately and ask him to decide." ”

Feng Lun sighed: "Xu Guogong, the Supreme is the Ming Monarch, the Holy Lord, he has to take care of his reputation, Wang Shichong has no understanding of the illegal behavior now, how to punish his crimes?" If Wang Shichong is forcibly arrested on trumped-up charges and his property is confiscated, I am afraid that as you said, it will cause the nobles of the family to collectively intercede for Wang Shichong, and then things will not be cleaned up. ”

The corners of Yu Wenshu's mouth hooked: "It's a matter of state affairs, this Pei Shiju is now the servant of the ministry, and he is also the new favorite of the Supreme now, and now he has seen the Supreme for longer than the old man, if he really has such a good relationship with Wang Shichong, then I am afraid that we will not be able to defeat Wang Shichong this time, this matter still allows me to think twice, find an opportunity to speak to the Supreme again, and strive to hit it with one blow." ”

Feng Lun sneered in his heart, today's chat made him confirm one thing, this Yuwenshu is salivating over Wang Shichong's Wanguan family wealth. But he was deeply afraid of Wang Shichong's deep background. Afraid of hitting the snake will not succeed but implicate itself. Now you just need to add a little more strength yourself, and you can bait you.

Feng Lun smiled slightly: "What Xu Guogong is worried about is that Pei Shiju will quickly find out about this Wang Shichong being targeted by us, and then take advantage of his current supreme favor to attack you in turn?" ”

Yu Wenshu hooked the corners of his mouth disdainfully: "The old man is not afraid of a Pei Shiju, hmph, it is just a tributary of the Pei family in Hedong, and it is the eldest son of the Pei family." Now in front of the old man, he has to bow his head to his ears, but after all, this Pei Shiju is also a child of the family, and now there are many people who talk to him, if he is the spokesperson of Wang Shichong's interests in the court, and plays the role of connecting the nobles of Guanlong and the children of the family, it will be a little troublesome. ”

"And now the Supreme intends to pass through the Western Regions, I heard that this Pei Shiju recently made up a book of Western Regions Atlas, all of which he sent his subordinates to visit the countries of the Western Regions for a long time, and used a lot of money to invite those Western Regions merchants who came to the Central Plains to do business to tell about the countries they experienced along the way and the places they had traveled. Write down all these mountains and rivers and city arteries. In the future, you can use this atlas to attack the Western Regions and the Western Turks. The Supreme was very interested in this plan, and asked me to look at this atlas more in the future. ”

Feng Lun smiled: "Most of this atlas was made by Wang Shichong's caravan in the Western Regions to help Pei Shiju, Xu Guogong, if this Wang Shichong and Pei Shiju have bad intentions in the future, they will give you a deliberately wrong atlas when the time comes, so that you can lead the army to the west into a desperate situation, or lead you to a desert area with no water source, so that the general will be harmed, and he can still put the blame on those merchants in the Western Regions, haven't you thought about it?" ”

Yu Wenshu waved his hand impatiently: "The old man has no intention of competing with a civil official for favor and enmity now, Feng Shilang, about Wang Shichong, let's talk about it for the time being, wait for the old man to think about it for a few more days, and then discuss this matter." ”

Feng Lun shook his head: "Xu Guogong, please don't worry, I haven't finished my words yet, I just said that the relationship between Li Xingshou and Li Xingshou has entered the core of Wang Shichong's business group, and now there are more than 20 families and nobles who are privately connected with Wang Shichong, I have already found out thoroughly, it can be said that Wang Shichong's details, I have mastered it all, Xu Guogong, as long as you nod, I will go to lobby those families who are connected with Wang Shichong, think about it, Now which of those families dares to offend you who are red and purple for the sake of a Wang Shichong? ”

Yu Wenshu pondered for a moment and said, "Who are the people who have business dealings with Wang Shichong?" ”

Feng Lun raised his fingers and counted them one by one: "There are Zong Zhengqing, Shangda General Yang Yichen, Right Tunwei General Mai Tiecane, Right Xiaowei General Changsun Sheng, Ministry of Industry Shangshu, Shangzhu State Zhao Zhongqing, former Yingzhou Thorn Shi Han Shige, Ministry of Officials Lang Pei Shiju, Zuo Xiaowei General, Zhu Guo, Rongguo Gong Lai Hu'er, Right Guard General Xue Shixiong, Dali Qing Zheng Shanguo, Nayan Yang Da, Guanwang Yang Xiong, Xiaoguo Army Left Guard General, Xiangyuan County Gong Duan Da, will be the chief eunuch Yu Wenkai, Chu State Gongshizi, Zhu Guo Yang Xuangan ....... ”

As the names in Feng Lun's mouth came out one by one, Yu Wenshu's face became more and more ugly, and in the end, a red face almost turned pale, and when Yang Xuangan's three words burst out of Feng Lun's mouth, he finally couldn't help it, and said sharply: "Enough." Feng Shilang, are you kidding? These people are either the current heavyweight civil ministers, or the most famous generals in the Great Sui, it can be said that half of the current military and political elites of the Great Sui are here, even if the Supreme personally says it, these people may not be able to give face, what ability do you have to make these people listen to you? ”

Feng Lun smiled slightly: "Xu Guogong, these people and Wang Shichong are just a partnership for business, Wang Shichong has a business mind, and now he has mastered those business routes, and has his own fixed customers and channels, so these people can rest assured that they put their money there Wang Shichong, and Wang Shichong, in turn, relied on the power of these people to open up various relationships all the way, so the business is getting bigger and bigger, Li Xingshou, don't you say?" ”

Li Liang said hatefully: "That's right, if it's just about our own strength, any of the four of us is enough for Wang Shichong to work hard for decades, but there are people behind this kid, who used to rely on Gao Xi's strength, where can we afford to offend, and then there are so many important ministers and generals in the court who come together, and we Guzang businessmen can only sell their face." ”

Yuwen Shu said coldly: "Feng Shilang, most of these people are very familiar with the old man, but we officials who have been in the court for many years. I don't know how to make money in other people. Feng Shilang. There is a saying that you must have heard, it is called cutting off people's financial routes, such as killing their parents, these people put their money with Wang Shichong, and they can make a lot of money every year, how can they listen to your words or two, and cut off their own financial routes? ”

Feng Lun smiled slightly: "This requires you Xu Guogong, first of all, let these people know." This time, Wang Shichong provoked you Xu Guogong, and behind you, there is the supreme and the queen, who they can't afford to offend. ”

Yu Wenshu sneered: "Feng Shilang, you have also been an official for many years, you should know the stakes in this, now that the Supreme is newly enthroned, you have to rely on these important ministers, not for a Wang Shichong." But I complained about so many people, even if I tried to do it, I couldn't do it. Unless you have enough evidence to prove that Wang Shichong is suspected of rebellion, you should go to Queen Xiao for this, the old man can't think of any ideas to plant a crime of rebellion on Wang Shichong, a shrewd guy like a ghost. ”

Feng Lun's eyes flashed with murder: "Xu Guogong, I won't tell you anything, I have already thought of this idea." He raised his head as he spoke, glancing at Yu Wenhua, who was listening with bated breath with wide eyes on the side.

Yu Wenshu turned his head to Yu Wenhua and made a look, and said, "Huaji, take Li Xingshou down to rest." People came from afar, and it was hard work. Also, tell all the guards outside to leave a hundred paces away. ”

Yu Wenhua walked out of the door unwillingly, and Li Liang also put back his cloak, nodded and bowed and retreated.

The footsteps of the two of them and the sound of their clothes breaking through the air in the back window of the roof were endless, and after they couldn't hear a single sound, Feng Lun said in a low voice: "Xu Guogong, Wang Shichong's death hole is in two words, Turkic!" ”

Yu Wenshu's triangular eyes blinked: "Tell me more details." ”

Feng Lun leaned closer and said: "Wang Shichong has relied on doing business with the Turks since he started, and although I, the Great Sui, have made the Eastern and Western Turks submit, I still regard the Turks as the enemy's defense, which can be seen from the embargo on pig iron against the Turks. I heard Li Liang say that Wang Shichong had a relationship with Datou Khan back then, that is, he was ordered by Gao Xi to smuggle pig iron, and he tasted the sweetness, and he repeated his old trick in the future, and continued to smuggle pig iron secretly with the Turks. ”

When Yu Wenshu heard the word "pig iron", his heart sank suddenly, and his face changed slightly, because he himself was doing this quietly, and there was a ghost in his heart, but Feng Lun didn't know the inside story, and thought that Yuwen Shu was also shocked by Wang Shichong's boldness.

Yuwen calmed down, and said in a deep voice: "Feng Shilang, this matter can't be talked about, it's not that I don't want to bring down Wang Shichong, it's really a matter of pig iron smuggling, it's too much involved, a hundred catties of pig iron smuggling is the crime of killing the head, and thousands of catties of pig iron can be wiped out, this Wang Shichong is the richest man in the world, and he shouldn't fancy the millions of dollars earned by smuggling pig iron." ”

Feng Lun smiled slightly: "Xu Guogong, you are a smart person, you should know that this business is not for money, but to get to know Turkic nobles." At that time, Wang Shichong relied on walking pig iron to win over Datou Khan and opened the door to the Western Turks for him, and later because of smuggling pig iron to the sons of the Eastern Turkic Qimin Khan, he got into a relationship with these steppe wolves, what do you say he is trying to do? ”

Yuwenshu originally wanted to hide the uneasiness in his heart, pretending to calmly pick up a bowl of yogurt in front of him and drinking, when he heard this, he was so shocked that he almost dropped the bowl to the ground, and when he let go of his hand, the bowl fell straight down, fortunately, he was a military general for many years, and he reacted very quickly, and he caught the golden bowl with his left hand unbelievably.

Feng Lun was also a little surprised by Yuwenshu's reaction: "Xu Guogong doesn't know the three sons of Qimin Khan? ”

Yu Wenshu lowered his voice and asked in a low voice: "I won't tell you, the old man has also heard about someone smuggling pig iron to the Turks, and he can't imagine that it was Wang Shichong who did it, who is he smuggling pig iron?"
