Chapter 190: The Prime Minister's Mansion Talks

Outside the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Jia Fu smiled at Liu Sheng: "Brother Sheng, you go in and ask me to say hello to Uncle Xu." I will not disturb you, but will discuss important matters."

"You're really not going in?". Liu Sheng looked at Jia Fu with some doubts. Enter the Prime Minister's Mansion, it seems that this guy is more diligent than himself.

Jia Fu shook his head, pointed to a mansion not far away, and touched his stomach exaggeratedly: "Do you see it, Yang Yong lives there." You visit Uncle Xu, and I will visit him for you. It's nice to have a place to slaughter."

"Okay, you go first, if I have time, I'll look for you." Liu Sheng looked at Jia Fu touching his stomach and shook his head helplessly.

Jia Fu waved his hand, turned over from his new horse, and went straight to Yang Yong's mansion. Liu Sheng smiled bitterly, turned his head to look at the guard in front of the door, and saluted respectfully: "Please also inform me, Liu Sheng will visit Uncle Xu according to the appointment."

"It turned out to be Liu Gongzi, Xiangye ordered. If the prince comes, please go straight inside." The guards in front of the door hurriedly saluted the house and made a gesture of please. A family member walked out of the door, walked up to Liu Sheng, took the reins of the horse, and moved aside.

Xu Yanping in the house, thinking of the news received during this time, frowned slightly. I looked at the flowers in the courtyard and sighed in my heart. After all, this world is the world of young people, and when you are old, you should retire and enjoy the blessings. Talking about life with Mingyi is also a kind of happiness.

Liu Sheng walked over, saw Xu Yanping looking at the flowers, fell into deep thought, and couldn't help but bow down: "Uncle is so Yaxing, but he is looking at the flowers and understanding the mystery."

"Mystery, this is a question that everyone in life will go to enlightenment." After Xu Yanping finished speaking, he pointed to the stone bench next to him and motioned for him to sit down.

Liu Sheng walked over, looked at Xu Yanping, and couldn't help asking: "I heard that uncle, there is something important to find juniors, I don't know what it is."

"Let's not talk about anything yet, I'll ask you. Why don't you come back from the northwest and come to my house once?" Xu Yanping did not answer, but blamed.

Liu Sheng was dumbfounded, saw Xu Yanping with an unhappy face, and explained: "It's all the fault of the younger generations. For a while, I forgot to visit my uncle."

"Northwest? Sparrow Chamber of Commerce? Grassland? The sudden appearance of Western Xia soldiers and horses? It turns out that the coup d'Γ©tat in Liao also has your shadow." Xu Yanping has already deduced the connection between writing things from just a few words. The prime minister of a country is not the one who gets famous.

Hearing Xu Yanping's words, Liu Sheng was slightly embarrassed: "I can only count this matter, the icing on the cake." In fact, all of these strokes are from Kou Wenyan's planning for nearly 20 years."

"Kou Wenyan, Yelujing's master in the folk. Why don't you tell me everything that has happened since you left Luoyang?" Xu Yanping seemed to be very interested, and inquired about what happened in the past six months. After all, the topics to be discussed at the meeting are somewhat important, so it is better to be cautious.

Liu Sheng was stunned for a moment, organized words in his heart, and then told him about the expedition from Luoyang to Chang'an, as well as the Northwest Campaign, the Chamber of Commerce's entry into Liao, Xiaoshi Village, the gambling house, and even the upcoming plan for sparrows to enter the sea.

Xu Yanping nodded while listening, showing a look of relief and approval: "You came back from Quanzhou this time to suggest that the imperial court agree to Jia Fu to withdraw money and hire a navy."

"It's all good, and it's harmless. After the waterway is opened, the imperial court can take advantage of the situation and set up a division yamen. Clean up pirates and extract taxes. If the imperial court doesn't pay a single gold, Yang Wei can go overseas and get huge profits, why not." Liu Sheng looked at Xu Yanping and asked directly. If you want the plan to go smoothly, the prime minister can't bypass the threshold.

Xu Yanping was not in a hurry to answer, but asked him directly about other things: "Now that you have witnessed the poison of the law change, what can you do to solve it?"

"I am not in the court, and I can't order the officials to benefit the people from the top down. But there are also benefits in the bottom. Without the entanglement of officialdom, it can be like water, moisturizing things silently. Take the good church as the source, relieve the suffering, and make the people less desolate." Liu Sheng's idea is simple, from the bottom to the top. Before you know it, complete a change. The so-called change of law cannot be made out of nothing. There should be something first, and then there should be something to recognize.

Xu Yanping heard the word Shantang and thought about it. Sparrow Chamber of Commerce, go to Liao to do business. And soon, the plan to enter the sea can indeed solve this poison: "With the power of the world's merchants, go to the enemy country and the sea, and obtain huge profits." Through the good church, feed the miserable people. Liu Sheng, your step is wonderful."

"It is a great honor for me and Jia Fu to be praised by my uncle." Liu Sheng heard Xu Yanping's affirmative words, and his heart was slightly happy. A sense of identity is quietly born.

Xu Yanping saw Liu Sheng's happy appearance, and sighed deliberately: "It's a pity that I'm old, and I'm afraid that I can't do anything at this time." But with your relationship with Your Majesty, it shouldn't be difficult."

"Uncle, why do you say that?" Liu Sheng looked at Xu Yanping with some surprise, thinking of the old two words, could it be .......

Seeing Liu Sheng's surprised look, Xu Yanping shook his head and explained directly: "Today, this world is you, the world of young people, after all." My uncle is old and has been an official for most of his life. I have been proud, but I have also been sad and guilty. Thankfully, God has brought you news of him. Finally able to let us, this group of old bones, smile Jiuquan. Now the only time left is to resign and return to his hometown. Find him, and with him, **** Zen enlightenment".

"Uncle wants to resign from the office, find Mingyi Taoist, and get away with the world together." Liu Sheng saw Xu Yanping at this time, and there was a smell of dust, and he couldn't help but ask.

Xu Yanping nodded and then shook his head: "It's not me, it's us." These old guys, all resigned. Originally, I still couldn't let go, but after hearing your answer, I think even they should be relieved."

"Could it be that my uncle means that there are still three Shangshu, and they also resigned together? It's ......". Liu Sheng was obviously completely shocked by the news. looked at Xu Yanping, the prime minister and the three Shangshu in disbelief, and resigned at the same time. What a storm this will cause. If this news is learned by the world's wealthy families, what kind of scene will it be. From now on, the influence of the Jiangnan family in the imperial court will come to naught. Seventy percent of the world's wealthy families, will they accept it willingly? .

Xu Yanping looked at Liu Sheng, who was shocked, and suddenly laughed heartily: "The first time I saw you kid, I was shocked. But don't worry, we have already found a solution to those worries."

"Please also ask my uncle to think carefully, after all, this matter is not child's play. If you let the world's wealthy families think that the imperial court will kill the donkey. I am afraid that a civil strife is inevitable." Liu Sheng thought of such a scene, and his heart felt a chill.

Xu Yanping smiled meaningfully and turned to those flowers: "Life is like flowers, and flowers bloom and fall normally. When we step back, there will naturally be new flowers to fill the void."

"New flowers to fill the void? Please also ask my uncle to make it clear." Liu Sheng didn't understand the charm of Xu Yanping's words, so he asked directly. The Jiangnan family is strong, and at the top, the prime minister and the three Shangshu. and the lowest level, seventy percent of the world's wealthy families. One of the reasons why the imperial court can tolerate them is that they are more knowledgeable about current affairs. The second is that they don't train middle-level officials. That is to say, once the prime minister and the three Shangshu abdicate, there will be no one in the Jiangnan family to fill the gap in the court. This is also the tacit understanding between them and the royal family, and the bottom line that no one will touch.

Xu Yanping looked at Liu Sheng, pointed to the sky, and then pointed at him: "With you alone, it is enough to offset the blank space for us to retreat."

"Me? β€¦β€¦β€œγ€‚ Liu Sheng was even more puzzled, how could he have such great strength to eliminate the impact of this matter. You must know that if you don't handle it well, it may lead to a huge civil strife that is enough to make the Great Zhou go up in smoke.
