Chapter 230: The Merchant

Wei Qiao never thought that things would be like this anyway, and the dignified old man would do such a thing.

"Dust?" The corners of Wei Qiao's mouth showed a smile that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.

And Ye Fatzi's expression was also extremely ambiguous, and he whispered a few words in Wei Qiao's ear, which made Wei Qiao feel a burst of emotion in his heart.

This Tang Pavilion is old and romantic, and he stays in the Qinglou all the year round. is not idle when he is old, and he can't help but have a group of wives and concubines, even if most of their maids have sex with each other, and he has attracted the attention of his daughter-in-law. What makes people speechless is that the two hooked up when his son was alive.

Wei Qiao shook his head and sighed in his heart, seeing Wei Qiao's surprise, Ye Fatzi talked about the romances of the adults in Jinling, and all kinds of strange things, which made Wei Qiao even more stunned and speechless for a long time.

When Wei Qiao returned, Dali Temple had already concluded that the Wei family was not involved in smuggling, and all the shops that had been frozen in cash and seized were unraveled, and the Wei family's interrupted business was running again.

Through this time, the Wei family was blessed by misfortune, and all kinds of latent problems of the Chen family broke out one after another, and even the hidden dangers of the Wei family were revealed.

This time, Li Xiluan no longer showed mercy, and consulted with Wei Kai and others, and the means were thunderbolts, merciless, and the knife saw blood.

Wei Qiao didn't object, and added some more things to it, and the sweet jujube knife is the king.

At the same time, news came from outside the city that the unrest had subsided. But no one knows the specific situation, at least Wei Qiao didn't inquire about the details.

In the study, Wei Qiao stood in front of the desk, looking awe-inspiring, holding his breath and concentrating, holding a pen and writing. Soon, a five-character poem with neat fonts and rigorous typesetting appeared on the white paper.

Huayi Buddha is not different, see the book eyes opened.

Entering the temple to find Buddhism, there is nowhere to find transcendence.

Wei Qiao put down his pen, stood in front of the table, and quietly looked at the poem in front of him. This poem was read out by Wei Qiao the last time he went to see Master Yinkong, and Master Yinkong read it out before anyone heard it. Wei Qiao only thought that it was the emotion of the master of Yinkong for a while, and he was worried for a while.

Wei Qiao stared at the line in the middle, he thought for a long time before discovering this secret, thinking that Master Yinkong had already known that someone would search him, so he said that he was alone in the open space of the door.

Buddha's Eye Seeking - Buddha's Eye Searching.

Wei Qiao remembered that there was a big Buddha in the front hall of the Cloud Buddha Temple, and perhaps the secret was in those two eyes.

But then, Wei Qiao painted the poem with a brush and threw it into a basket.

This secret must be shocking, and it is not yet time to be born.

Wei Qiao exhaled softly, and the figure of Concubine Zhen appeared in front of him.

"Why did she wake me up? What is this secret? Wei Qiao sat at the table and bowed his head to himself.

―――――――― Yushitai, Niu Yilang, Wei Qiao, and Jiang Ci were sitting and drinking tea.

Niu Yilang glanced at Jiang Ci, turned to Wei Qiao and said with a smile, "Liyuan, this time I plan to take Chang Zhi under the knife." ”

Looking at Niu Yilang's calm expression, Wei Qiao smiled faintly and said, "Lord Niu, aren't you afraid of other people's retaliation?" ”

Wei Qiao's words are obvious, the previous battle between Wei Qiao and Cui Chen was provoked by Cui Chen, and the background behind Wei Qiao was enough to limit the participation of King Jin. But Fu Mingzheng, who was standing behind Niu Yilang, could also be said to be Fu Li, but Fu Li would not necessarily allow him to provoke a fight with the Jin King family at will.

Niu Yilang glanced at Jiang Ci, smiled, and said, "Liyuan, you don't know yet, King Jin has been grounded." ”

Wei Qiao's heart was shocked, and he immediately looked at Jiang Ci's indifferent look and frowned, this important figure was easily grounded?

Wei Qiao's thoughts kept turning, his eyes flashed and he said to himself: "Grounded? ”

Niu Yilang said with a calm expression: "Yes, because the third son of King Jin was involved in the chaos of the forbidden army outside the city, so even King Jin was also punished, and he will not be able to come out for a while!" ”

Scratching is actually a whitewash word, in fact, it is mutiny!

Wei Qiao nodded thoughtfully, the recent wind direction in Jinling seems to be very wrong, and he can't see it clearly.

Niu Yilang immediately laughed when he saw Wei Qiao nodding. As long as he and Wei Qiao nodded, two to one could directly ignore Jiang Ci.

Jiang Ci frowned, sullen with anger, but couldn't say anything. The royal history is full of rumors, even if it is a confession of the past dynasties, he has no excuse to oppose it, and he can't even open his mouth to ask the specific details of the impeachment of the two.

"Lord Niu, Wei Zhongcheng ......"

"Cow-sama came early ......"

"Wei Zhongcheng has been ...... well lately"

As the three of Yu Shitai came in, many people immediately asked each other, and their expressions were extremely enthusiastic. As for Jiang Ci, he was directly ignored.

"Lord Chang, be careful." Jiang Ci walked to Chang Zhi's side, and looked at Wei Qiao and Niu Yilang, who were greeting everyone, and said lightly.

Chang Zhi was stunned for a moment, then understood, sneered, and said, "I want to see if they impeach me." ”

Soon, the bell of the upper court remembered crisply and melodiously. The pavilion elders walked out of the house, dressed cleanly and neatly, and when Tang Yan walked out, his eyes swept Niu Yilang and Wei Qiao with extremely cold eyes, and he went out with an extremely indifferent expression.

He is a dignified elder, and he has lost face when he shoots at a junior, but now he is broken by someone with one move, and he is even more embarrassed by stealing chickens and rice! Now not only is he lacking confidence in the cabinet, but he is also weak and short of breath in the face of the six ministries, which is really a big drop in prestige, and fame and fortune are lost!

Niu Yilang and Wei Qiao smiled knowingly, and walked out.

Wei Qiao looked at Niu Yilang's upright back and smiled faintly, he knew that Niu Yilang went to the Fu Mansion yesterday, and he got a lot of hints, and now he is full of confidence in the face of the elder.

There is still no turmoil in the court, and various things are being carried out in an orderly manner.

Wei Qiao basically never spoke, listening quietly and thinking.

However, the peace in the court was caused by the turmoil of the army outside the city, and the Jin king's family, who sympathized with the Jin king, expressed their opinions on the affairs outside the city, intending to release the Jin king.

However, this matter was stopped by Fu Li and shelved under the pretext of 'cabinet first'. The court has always been Fu Ge Lao's world, and generally as long as Fu Ge Lao speaks, it is the final word! Naturally, this matter is no exception, after Fu Ge Lao finished speaking, the emperor continued to speak, and this matter can be regarded as covering up the past.

As this sensitive matter passed, there was nothing else to do in the court, and various entanglements of interests were presented. It seems to be stimulated by the ban of King Jin, and there are many impeachment recitals today.

Wei Qiao and Niu Yilang glanced at each other and remained silent. Now that the water is muddy, they can't set foot any more, lest they get their feet wet instead of catching fish.

Yan Yi stood up after a storm and said loudly, "Your Majesty, there are more and more illegal things in businessmen around the world, and the minister thinks that it should be curbed by a heavy canon, and ask the emperor to make a holy judgment." ”

As soon as Yan Yi's voice fell, Ye Fatzi continued to say, "When did the military department take care of the affairs of the household department?" ”

Ye Fatzi's identity is relatively special, generally speaking, basically no one wants to offend, but it doesn't mean that no one dares to offend.

"Lord Ye's words are wrong." Ling Chong stood up and said: "How can you ignore national affairs as a courtier, is it difficult to turn a blind eye to injustices?" ”

"Then you don't have to take care of everything," Liu Cong stood up with a faint expression: "Otherwise, what are you doing in six parts?" ”

Anyone who understands can see that although the Jinling Wei family is not the first merchant in Jinling, it is definitely ranked in the top ten. Yan Yi is ostensibly aimed at all merchants, but in fact, she is aimed at the Wei family.

Chang Zhi snorted coldly, glanced at Wei Qiao, and stood up.

"The minister agrees." When Chang Zhi was about to speak, Wei Qiao in the back suddenly stood up, clasped his fists and said loudly.

Wei Qiao's words fell, and he was immediately silent when he looked up. Basically, no one doesn't know what the Wei family does, and now that Wei Qiao suddenly came out with such a sentence, plus a few previous things, everyone was vigilant in their hearts.

And Chang Zhi was also angry in his heart, frowned, and his expression was cold.

Emperor Wenzheng's expression remained unchanged, and he said lightly, "Wei Aiqing, tell me the reason." The voice is firm and distant, and it is overwhelming.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks" Wei Qiao clasped his fists and said loudly: "The businessman is not engaged in production, he values profit over righteousness, and it is not easy to manage it when he wanders around." It is even more said that chasing copper-smelling things ignores the teachings of the sages, which is a great harm to the country and the people, to the king and the ministers. The minister implored the emperor to ban merchants, and the minister was willing to donate all the property of the Wei family to be an example for the court! ”

Wei Qiao's voice was loud and sonorous, and every sentence knocked on the hearts of the courtiers in the palace.

If it was a minister at the time of the founding of the country, it is understandable that they valued agriculture and suppressed business, and discriminated against businessmen, but which of them can have nothing to do with businessmen now? The royal family is an imperial merchant with many privileges, if the imperial court prohibits merchants from doing business, the consequences will be tantamount to self-destruction of the Great Wall, and it will shake the country's foundation!

The people in the court were speechless for a while, Wei Qiao's words were awe-inspiring, every word was reasonable, and even the saint moved out. But can it be done without a businessman? More importantly, although Daqi did not openly propose to emphasize agriculture and suppress business, the policy implemented was.

Oppose, that is a direct denial of the saint, justification, that is offending the cabinet, a large group of people in the court, all speechless.

There are some things that can be said but not done, and some things that can be done but not said. In the court, the courtiers stood upright, looking like they were out of the way. Even Chang Zhi was speechless for a while.

"Ahem" The court was silent for a long time, and Emperor Wenzheng suddenly coughed and said, "Fu Aiqing, you can talk about it." ”

Fu Li stood up with a flat expression and said, "This matter should be discussed by the household department first, and then submitted to the cabinet for approval." ”

Zhou Yanzhao nodded lightly and said, "This matter is on hold." ”

Zhao Yuankui frowned, glanced at Wei Qiao with a cold expression, and did not speak.

Wei Qiao's expression remained calm and unchanged, but his thoughts turned in his heart, and then he smiled faintly and retreated.

Niu Yilang glanced at Wei Qiao with some doubts, the two said that they would attack Chang Zhi, but now that the water is clear, isn't it an opportunity?

Wei Qiao shook his head and said in a low voice quietly: "Soup." ”

Niu Ichiro was stunned, and then nodded knowingly.
