Chapter 140: Don't Use the Hidden Dragon
"How can this be the same, this time he was in the palace to resist the order, so angry that His Majesty even said that he wanted to kill him, and then in front of hundreds of civil and military officials and envoys from various countries, he resigned and left, and his Majesty was offended to death.
Also, this time his opponent is the king of Dongping, and you don't know how much the king of Dongping is favored by His Majesty! His Majesty didn't kill him this time, it was completely for the sake of the concubine's face, otherwise, I am afraid that he would ...... by now," said the family son.
"What is the king of Dongping, that Youzhou Zahu is just a traitor who relies on bribing officials to force the enemy to raise Kou and promote his official position!
Isn't there any news that this court meeting is that he framed Liang Guogong and wanted to kill Liang Guogong's 150 personal guards and His Majesty's 1,000 flying dragon forbidden army. Why is it that Your Majesty is not loyal to treachery? ”
The family smiled, he didn't like An Lushan either, but An Lushan was favored and powerful, so what if he didn't like it? Seeing that Xiao Quai, who was so high up in the past and was better than himself everywhere, has now become a water dog, which makes him feel an indescribable pleasure.
"That's the way it is." He began to break the news with some schadenfreude: "It's also strange that Xiao Qu's illness is too sharp, and at the same time he has offended too many people, but he has also offended the only reliance, this time there is no one to save him."
I heard my eldest brother say that when Wang Gong fell before, he said that he wanted to use his family property to train and raise soldiers, and later said that he would use the money to invest in the Four Seas Trading Company.
Now that Xiao Qu is ill and has fallen, these two things naturally can't be saved, and I heard that they will soon be taken away by the three families. In addition, I also heard that the king of Dongping, Dr. Yang, and Mrs. Qiu Guo are now preparing to beat the water dogs......"
"How do you talk. You dare to say that Liang Guogong is a dog! ”
"Yes. Are you in league with that Youzhou Zahu? Hit him ......"
The family hurriedly apologized, admitting that he had made a mistake for a while, everyone's mood calmed down a little, and continued to break the news: "I heard from the eldest brother that these three companies not only want to seize the property of the Four Seas Trading Company, but also jointly impeach Xiao Qubing for corruption and perversion of the law, want to check his accounts, and prepare to arrest and interrogate several of Xiao Quai's staff. ”
Everyone in the lobby was stunned. After a while, the student said, "What about Liang Guogong, is he just sitting and waiting to be killed?" ”
Shi Jiazi wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and said with a strange expression: "What can he do?" He came out to place these staff members in the Xiao Mansion for protection, and he could only obediently go to the palace every day to serve His Majesty's food and daily life. However, it doesn't have to be a dead end......"
Seeing that he had sold Guanzi, the rich businessman hurriedly urged: "Don't sell Guanzi, say it quickly!" ”
Shi Jiazi said slowly: "There is news that the reason why they did this is that Mrs. Qiu Guo wants to use this to force Xiao Qu to hand over the secret recipe. ”
"Then will the Liang Kingdom Guild give it?"
Shijiazi said: "This is going to ask Xiao Qu himself about his illness." But one piece of news is certain, that is, tomorrow the Four Seas Trading Company will be officially delivered to Taifu and the household department......"
The family continued with some smugness. The rich man, who had just exchanged a set of gold and silver coins from the Four Seas Money Village in the West Market, listened silently, and at the same time glanced at the ranger swordsman sitting opposite him with some curiosity from time to time.
This ranger is very strange, when he eats, he still holds a simple sword in his hand, and he is very attentive to eating, even if he secretly looks at him as if he doesn't see it.
Although he was in a busy city, this ranger swordsman felt like he was in a barren mountain and valley, as if all the people around him did not exist, or they were not in his eyes. The whole person is like a piece of ice, cold and terrible.
The rich man looked at it for a long time, and was really a little curious, arched his hand at him, and said, "This brother Tai, in Xia Lanling Xiao Seventeen, did not ask for advice?" ”
As if he hadn't heard, the ranger continued to eat slowly and methodically the rice in the bowl, and it wasn't long before he finished eating, and there wasn't even a grain of rice left in the bowl, and the mutton on the plate was gone.
Then the ranger took out a string of copper coins from his bosom and put it on the table, got up slowly, still as if he didn't see the two, turned around and walked out the door.
"What a weirdo." The strong man's attendant muttered in a low voice, Xiao Qiqi shook his head and continued to eat, but his heart was full of worries about the famous family in Chang'an.
He was one of the main persons in charge of Lanling Xiao's shipbuilding and shipping, and Xiao Quai's and Xiao Hua, the head of the Lanling Xiao family, had already negotiated that in addition to glass sales, they would also cooperate in shipbuilding and sea trade.
Now that Xiao Qu is sick, it seems that these plans have to be put on hold.
The situation is already obvious, the Yuan Dynasty Hui Xiao fell ill and fell into the trap of the Youzhou Zahu, angered His Majesty, and was jointly attacked by An Lushan, Yang Guozhong, and Mrs. Qiuguo.
Even though he still has the relationship of the noble concubine, at least for now, it will be difficult for Xiao Qu to do anything in a year or two.
But why did Xiao Quzhi send someone to inform the head of the family, saying that the plan for selling glass and building sea ships remained unchanged, and he had to hurry up?
It's really strange, could it be that Xiao Qu is sick and dead and the duck has a hard mouth, deceiving himself and others, and deceiving us?
Of course, Xiao Qubing would not treat his allies like this, but there are some things that are really difficult to say too clearly, after all, Xiao Qubing is here, and he is not 100% sure.
To be honest, this time the Great Dynasty will lose a great opportunity to strike at An Lushan's forces because of Xiao Quai's poor brain, and at the same time offended Li Longji, so he is now very passive.
When Xiao Quzhi told Li Mi about Li Longji's series of performances and the various micro-expressions he observed Li Longji, this Hanlin Emperor, who knew more about Li Longji, gave a relatively not pessimistic assessment after some analysis, and also formulated relevant strategies for Xiao Quji.
In Li Mi's view, Li Longji is just a little vindictive now, and he just wants to get back the face at the Yuanri court, and at this time, An Lushan, Yang Guozhong, Mrs. Yu Guo, and Hui Hui's attack on Xiao Qubing can only retreat for the time being.
If they want it, they will give it to them, and if they want to check the accounts, let them check it, as long as the people are fine. According to Li Mi's analysis, Li Longji also deliberately let these blows go, so as to sharpen Xiao's temperament.
But Li Longji still took care of Xiao Qu's bottom line, for example, An Lushan Yang Guozhong wanted to arrest Gao Shi, Wang Changling and others for interrogation, but was directly vetoed by the emperor.
Xiao Quai's illness also figured it out, the Four Seas Trading Company wanted it, just give it to them, anyway, they couldn't play it, first, they couldn't run a lot of things in the future, and second, the core technology was protected by themselves.
In the past, the Four Seas Trading Company mainly wanted to please Li Longji, but now it is better to give up the Four Seas Trading Company, and sixty percent of the profits do not have to be given. I can get more income by just paying business taxes by myself, but it's just that it's not as convenient as the Four Seas Trading Company.
Of course, it is still very demoralizing like this, at least the 150 guards of Xiao Quai's illness and a large number of employees and management of Sihai Trading Company have been holding their breath in their hearts for the past few days.
In this regard, Xiao Qubing and He Keer can also be comforted as much as possible, fortunately, because of the high benefits and humanized management given before, these employees and management are full of recognition of Xiao Qubing and He Keer, and most people choose to go with Xiao Quai, and as soon as Yang Guozhong and them take over, they will resign together and leave an empty shelf for them.
In short, if you do something wrong, you can only lie dormant now.
Now there is only one problem, that is, how to propose to Li Longji to go to Luoyang, when Xiao Qiqi just went to the restaurant to sit down, Xiao Quai, who had just finished eating with Li Longji and Yang Guifei in Daming Palace, was thinking in his heart, how to tell Li Longji about this matter.
