Chen Yuan smiled, and the deal was negotiated. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Whether it is the parliament or the imperial cabinet, the emperor's power will be limited in the future, and he does not know whether what he is doing is right or wrong.

Life is like buying and selling, sometimes investment does not necessarily have returns, but sometimes you can make a lot of money unintentionally.

Really, even if Chen Yuan is made the emperor, he does not dare to guarantee that he can be stronger than Zhao Shu as the emperor. What's more, he is unwilling to develop things to the point where swords and soldiers meet, if the current situation of the Great Song Dynasty is ruined, the most distressed person is Chen Yuan, because that is his hard work.

All he wanted now was to use this method to restrain the new king, so that he could have time to build the island chain from Dongying to Qiongzhou. After this island chain is built, if the new emperor goes to the road and gives him the island chain himself, the coastal defense of the Great Song Dynasty will have a basic guarantee in the future. If the new emperor doesn't get on the road, this island chain is a bargaining chip for Chen Yuan to ensure the safety of himself and his family in the future.

Whether it is right or wrong, let the future history judge.

Chen Yuan knew that they were all waiting for his answer now, and they all wanted to let him leave quickly. Sighing softly, as if a little lost, Chen Yuan finally said what they wanted to hear: "Since this is the case, then Ming said that I will leave as soon as possible." But there is one more thing, which is no longer a condition for me to leave, and now that the merchants are on strike, this problem is something I singled out, and I think I must solve it. ”

Everyone was also relieved after hearing this, and a smile appeared on their faces unconsciously, Chen Yuan looked at Chen Shizhong on the side: "Shizhong, leave this matter to you, do the eldest brother a favor and clean up this mess, how about it?" ”

Chen Shizhong nodded: "Don't worry, big brother, I can do a good job." ”

Chen Yuan smiled, and then looked at Xia Zhu: "Xiangguo, I have a reluctant request." ”

Xia Zhu immediately said, "Say it." ”

Chen Yuan swept his eyes, and then said: "I thought that this time the merchants could be encouraged by the next time, except for some mistakes made by Zhao Shu, the main reason was that those merchants did not have a suitable channel to communicate with the imperial court. I thought, is it possible to let the president of the chamber of commerce have the right to speak in the court? ”

Ouyang Xiu's brows furrowed, there was another reason for the generals to go to the court, that is, the generals had done a lot of things for the Great Song Dynasty over the years, they fought on the battlefield and expanded their territory, which was seen by everyone.

Although the merchants made a lot of money, they did a behind-the-scenes job, and it didn't seem as direct as the generals.

Moreover, the identity of a businessman really made Ouyang Xiu very resistant.

"Shimei, is the president of the Chamber of Commerce an official position?"

Chen Yuan shook his head: "What I mean is just to let the president of the Chamber of Commerce have a direct way to report to the imperial court, and directly communicate with the ministers and the Son of Heaven, as long as there is this, it is enough, and the official position is not important." As for how to do it, I think it should be decided after the new emperor ascends the throne. ”

Ouyang Xiu wanted to ask something more, but Xia Zhu stopped him with his eyes, as long as Chen Shimei was willing to leave, as long as the request was not too excessive, he could agree now. What's more, Xia Zhu also knew that Chen Yuan was right, not only those merchants needed to know what the imperial court wanted to do, but the imperial court also needed to understand what those merchants were doing.

Xia Zhu said to Chen Yuan: "Okay, we will discuss this issue and make a decision soon." ”

Chen Yuan smiled, filled the wine glass in front of him, and then picked it up: "In this way, there is nothing to say in the future, I will not go to the court tomorrow morning." I'm going to see a few people as soon as possible, and if I can hear good news from you when the business is done, I'll leave immediately. ”

This time, the King of Chu finally picked up his wine glass and touched Chen Yuanyao from afar: "That's the best!" Chen Shimei, don't worry, we will let you see it when we say the early dynasty, and we are true to our word. ”

What the king of Chu meant was that tomorrow morning was the last time Zhao Shu would go to court, and he didn't even have the opportunity to go to court. It's easy to say this, they have the strength now, but it's not so simple to get things done.

Zhao Shu is still the emperor, he must not be willing to come down from that position, he will resist. Once Zhao Shu resists, Bianjing will inevitably be injured, at least the royal face will be damaged, and the prestige of the Zhao family will be hit.

Therefore, except for Wen Yanbo's complicated mood, the others hope that Zhao Shu will not have a chance to resist, and obediently come down from the throne, and then, good ministers, good princes, good Chen Shimei, everyone.

This is also the reason why they came to Ren Fu today.

"General Ren Fu, are you ready?" Xia Zhu's eyes narrowed, but it was difficult to hide the tension in his heart, Huo Guang's move, this is a nice statement. It was Huo Guang's move to get Zhao Shu down, if it didn't succeed, hehe, it would be a big rebellion and rebellion.

A military general like Ren Fu is much more crisp in comparison, the situation is already doomed, and the contest between Zhao Shu and Chen Shimei can only end in this way. Hearing Xia Zhu ask him, Ren Fu stood up: "Back to Xiangguo, the 20,000 soldiers under him are already on standby, and they will take over the barracks of the Northern Army Forbidden Army tonight, and go to the palace tomorrow morning, no one will make trouble." ”

Xia Zhu nodded, the old body slowly got up, and he picked up the wine glass by himself: "Come, everyone, I wish us all the best tomorrow, and it is also for the sake of a better tomorrow in the Great Song Dynasty, let's drink this cup together!" ”

More than thirty people stood up at the same time, raising their wine glasses.

That night, Ren Fu began to move, accompanied by Xia Zhu and the King of Chu, and others, one by one to visit the generals who might have an impact on them.

And Ouyang Xiu and Song Qi took the edict of the Queen Mother, the big seal of Xiangguo, and the joint letter of the princes to visit the mansions of those ministers at night.

The families gathered by the princes also quietly came to King Pu's mansion, and everything was ready, just waiting for the dawn.

The next day, just after dawn, Fan Chunyou opened his eyes in a haze.

He didn't know what was going on outside in his cell, and he began to wash up with an almost sluggish expression. Now Fan Chunyou's fighting spirit and confidence have all been crushed. Really, he is conceited and talented, but he never thought that he would be used as a gun by others!

Fan Chunyou is very strange when he thinks about it, why did he trust that Teng Kun so much at that time? Why didn't you investigate his origins? No matter what the reason is, he was used to deal with Da Song, he himself can't forgive himself, a person who can be stupid to the point of himself, it's useless to live.

So, he's just waiting for death.

The cell door was opened, Fan Chunyou put down the towel and saw Yan Chasan and Chen Shimei walking towards him together.

"Chen Shimei? You're back? Fan Chunyou asked.

Chen Yuan stared at him for a while, his eyes were very complicated, really, Fan Chunyou touched Chen Yuan's bottom line this time, if it weren't for the fact that he was Fan Zhongyan's son, Chen Yuan would definitely kill him!

After watching him for a long time, Chen Yuan's footsteps walked past Fan Chunyou's prison door. In the next cell, Su Yan was locked up.

"Open."

Yan Chasan said to the cell head, the cell head hurriedly took the key and opened Su Yan's cell door, Su Yan watched Chen Yuan come in from the outside blankly.

Chen Yuan looked at Su Yan's appearance, and felt sad in his heart, but he didn't know what to say to comfort him. Su Xiaoyou is greedy for wealth and wealth, and will do whatever it takes to get rich, but this is just a matter of her attitude towards life.

To a certain extent, Su Xiaoyou was willing to be used by Lu Yijian and herself in order to save Su Yan, and she can be regarded as a filial daughter. For so many years, their father and daughter have only been obsessed with wealth and wealth, and they have not done anything to destroy the evil, Su Xiaoyou should not die, at least Chen Yuan does not think she should die.

But she did die, and the person who executed her was Empress Dowager Cao, and it was impossible for Chen Yuan to help her avenge.

When she died, Su Yan's world collapsed.

Chen Yuan patted Su Yan on the shoulder: "Let's go, can you go to Qiongzhou with me?" ”

Su Yan suddenly cried out loud. He cried sadly, Chen Yuan didn't know how to comfort him, the most painful thing in the world is life and death, when comforting others, we always say a word of sorrow and change.

But how many people can really mourn and change?

Chen Yuan looked back at Yan Chasan, Yan Chasan handed over a package, which was a new set of clothes, Chen Yuan put the clothes at the head of Su Yan's bed, and didn't say anything more.

He also had to go to see Shen Rui.

Shen Rui's cell was closed far away because she was a woman. In the corner of the cell there is a private room for female prisoners. Shen Rui was locked in for the second time, the last time she came in, it was Chen Yuan who took her out, and this time it was herself.

"Are you alright?"

"How are you going to see how he's doing? I heard him shouting a few days ago, but there is no sound these days, and he doesn't reply when I call him, can you help me see if he is okay first? ”

Shen Rui's first sentence when she saw Chen Yuan was like this, he was the commander of Yang.

Shen Rui didn't know that Zhao Shu had released Commander Yang and Chen Shizhong two days ago, and the reason why she was still locked up was because Zhao Shu felt that Shen Rui was directly involved in that matter.

Chen Yuan looked at Shen Rui, and he felt a trace of inexplicable loss. The last time she rescued her, she went with her, and this time, she won't go with her again.

It turns out that there are no women in this world, and women are because her man is not worthy of her perseverance, such as Pang Ji, like herself. The cell boss opened the cell door, and Shen Rui swept out of the cell and ran in the direction where the voice came from a few days ago. When he passed by Chen Yuan's side, he didn't even stop at all.

The place was empty, and there was no one in sight, Shen Rui's expression kept changing, and Yan Chasan said beside him, "He's gone." ”

Shen Rui's whole person suddenly collapsed in the prison.

All these years, she had been afraid that Commander Yang would leave her if he knew about her past, but now he still knew. He left, and was even stingy to say hello to himself before leaving. The hope that Shen Rui had been insisting on in the past few days was shattered in an instant, and her face suddenly smiled, laughed and cried, as if she was crazy.

Su Yan was crying in the house, Shen Rui was crying outside, Chen Yuan had no way to comfort any of them, and finally slowly walked to Fan Chunyou's cell and stared at Fan Chunyou: "Go home, go see your father." ”
