Jin Million gestured to his son-in-law with his eyes again, wanting to ask his son-in-law to get an idea. In fact, is the golden million a person who has no experience? He was not afraid of facing Uncle Qian, but he was also very self-aware and knew that he didn't know much about palace politics, so he quickly moved his son-in-law over.

This is not as Uncle Qian Guo said, "please help the soldiers", but I don't know how credible Uncle Qian's nonsense is, and I want Li You to help analyze the situation and make up his mind.

Facing the old man's eyes, Li You didn't say anything immediately. He has a growing habit of always thinking about it when there is enough time to think about it, as is the case with most qualified officials.

Although Uncle Qian An and Uncle Qian Guo have no power, he is the elder brother of the Empress Dowager Qian, who is still in power for the time being, and it is not wrong to be cautious. There is only one central question this time, is Qian An really stupid or pretending to be stupid?

This person has a poor character, and he is keen on the title of elder brother, but he has been pursuing it unsuccessfully for many years, and it is also an unstable factor in the eyes of anyone. Last time, his son did the brainless thing of instigating the prisoners to knock on the Son of Heaven to invite the Son of Heaven to govern himself, and even made trouble in the court, which made the Empress Dowager Qian very passive.

Therefore, as long as Empress Dowager Qian is not a fool, she must be alienated from her second brother. This kind of estrangement is not emotionally deprived of family affection, but the most basic sense of self-protection of a reasonable politician. To use an analogy, who wants to get close to a ticking time bomb?

The 50,000 nests sold by the golden million were all handed over to Xinninghou Qiantai, and Qian An did not get any share, which can be seen from this.

According to Li You's analysis, with the character of Empress Dowager Qian's mother's family, and Qian An, it is estimated that the family relationship between her mother's brother and sister is still there, but in some sensitive matters, Qian An will be excluded. For example, the identity change, business change and exoneration of the million, Qian An may really not know the inside story.

Also, Empress Dowager Qian is in full swing planning to discuss politics with the celebrant and the nobles, but this Qian An does not stay in Beijing, which is even more evident.

Suppose Qian An is really stupid. It seems reasonable to argue from the eldest princess of Guide.

Judging from Uncle Qian's tone, he probably only thought that the golden million had bought off Wu Guangen by the side of Guide Chitose. If you persuade His Royal Highness Chitose to do things through Gonggong Wu, this weight will be very limited.

As everyone knows, the matter of Concubine Jin Xian and Jin Million was personally promoted by Li You and the eldest princess of Guide from beginning to end. It's just that with the noble identity of the eldest princess of Guide, she will not jump out of the front desk in person. It is probably because of this factor that Uncle Qian Guo has given him the illusion that you rely on Wu Guangen to do things.

The eldest princess of Guide planned the affairs of imperial salt and negotiated with the queen mother to launder the platinum million, of course, it was more secretive, and it would not be known to outsiders like Qian An.

Analyze from a variety of angles. Li You felt more and more that Uncle Qian Guo was really stupid.

In the court of the Ming Dynasty, most of the concubines who were drafted were actually very pitiful, and unless they were favored by the emperor, they had almost no power. The most critical factor is that these concubines are often from poor families. Without the slightest foundation and background, there is no internal and external support, resulting in extreme weakness, which is inferior to those eunuchs who are familiar with people in the palace.

Uncle Qian Guo probably holds the mindset of "the imperial concubine is easy to bully". But this generation seems to have changed a bit. Uncle Qian, who was excluded from secret affairs, did not know. Concubine Jin Xian is not the kind of concubine who comes from a small family and enters the palace and is left to fend for herself.

After thinking about it, Li You still couldn't see where Uncle Qian Guo seemed to be pretending to be stupid, and there was no need to pretend to be stupid. It's just a well-informed person who was excluded from insider operations by his relatives.

Master Li thought about it for a long time. I heard that Uncle Qian Guo was still chattering about Jin Million, "What? Can't trust me? I can also speak to the Queen Mother. Not much stronger than Wu Guangen? The prince of Wei is also here, and I heard that there has been a conflict between you and Guogong, and I can also mediate for you. Master Li suddenly felt that Uncle Qian's words and deeds were indeed very vulgar and shallow, but fortunately the imperial court did not give him a knighthood, otherwise he would not have turned the sky upside down.

couldn't help sighing, in fact, it can't be said to be really stupid, at least Uncle Qian still knows that he used the tiger skin of the Empress Dowager Qian's brother to come out of the fox and fake the tiger, at least he also knows how to pull the prince of Wei to strengthen his momentum.

At this point, he was completely relieved, Li You took the case again, and the thousand words he prepared were only turned into one word, "Get out!" ”

Uncle Qian Guo turned his head in astonishment, since his sister entered the palace, no one had spit out this word to him.

Li You pointed at Qian An and said: "Wang Fa is ruthless, can you do it to blackmail rich businessmen?" This official is outside the door from the official service, do you want them to take you to taste the taste of Jiangdu County Prison? ”

"You dare!" Uncle Qian Guo stood up and shouted.

Li You smiled contemptuously, "You can try it, how can this official be a person who is afraid of the powerful!" ”

Instead, he was threatened by Li You, Uncle Qian Guo shut up, and his heart also turned.

The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, Li You is young and vigorous, and he loves to brush up his fame, and he can definitely do it to put his uncle in prison. At that time, no matter what, if you go to the county prison, you will lose a big face first, and it will be a joke to spread it.

"Since the words are not speculative, then there will be a period later!" Uncle Qian Guo put down the scene fiercely, and said to Xu Shizi: "Let's go!" ”

Out of courtesy, Jin Million sent Uncle Qian and Xu Shizi out of the gate, and watched Uncle Qian get on the sedan chair and gradually go away.

"No problem, right?" Jin Million asked.

Li You replied indifferently: "It's just a clown jumping off the beam!" Fortunately, he was imprisoned and bluffed away, otherwise it would be a real trouble if he played tricks regardless of his identity, and even if he was arrested, it would not be so easy to let go. ”

Seeing that the matter was over, Master Li was about to say goodbye to his father-in-law, but he saw a team of people turning back slowly.

A white-faced nobleman of thirty-five or sixteen flashed out, and when he looked closely, it was Xu Shizi, the Duke of Wei, and he hugged his fists and said, "Two of you, I still have something to say." ”

Li You and Jin Million looked at each other, Xu Shizi and Uncle Qian Guo visited together, left together, and then quietly turned back alone, what kind of drama is this?

In any case, it is not easy for anyone to turn away the prince of the country, so Jin Wanyan said: "Please!" ”

The three of them re-entered the Golden Mansion, returned to the flower hall of Fangcai, and served tea again. Jin Million and Li You didn't know why, so they waited for Xu Shizi to open his mouth to explain his doubts.

Xu Shizi took a few sips of tea and put down the tea bowl, "Let's say a few words first, I really want to come to visit Jin Guozhang tonight, but I was indeed pulled over by Uncle Qian, but what Uncle Qian said has nothing to do with me, it is his own business, and I have other words." ”

Seeing Xu Shizi's kind attitude, Jin Million was slightly relieved, and said with a smile: "Shizi is serious, I don't know why I came here at night?" ”

"I should have come earlier, but I need a waiter, and this Master Li also knows. Therefore, I can only come at night, and Jin Guozhang has a lot of understanding. Xu Shizi explained a little redundantly, but it seemed that the etiquette was very thoughtful.

Master Li, who was known for his suspicion, was vigilant, and he was always wary of people who were too thoughtful. Because if you are courteous to others, you will ask for something.

Jin Million also wanted to know what Xu Shizi planned to talk about, and secretly urged: "Shizi has something to say." ”

Xu Shizi's tone was very modest, "My father ordered me to come here to apologize to Jin Guozhang, I have offended many people before, it is all the fault of my country's government, please Lord Jin Guozhang a lot, don't take it to heart." How you want to make amends, you can say it. ”

Jin Million and Li You looked at each other in shock again, the father in Xu Shizi's mouth is, of course, the contemporary Duke of Wei, the Duke of Wei who ranks first among the lords of the world, and the real power of the Duke of Nanjing.

The dignified Guogong was able to entrust the prince to apologize to the nouveau riche Jin Million in such a low profile, which they never expected, although it was very annoying for the Guogong to send someone to arrest the Golden Million, but they fought back fiercely. What's the truth about tonight? …,

Xu Shizi quickly said a reason, "I only hope that my country's government and the Jin family's mustard will be written off from now on, and let him pass through the trafficking of surplus salt back then, so that there will be no more turmoil." ”

Jin Million and Li You both understood this sentence, what the Guogong Mansion meant was that the grievances and grievances in the past were all written off, and the matter of cooperating in trafficking in illicit salt should have never happened.

Could it be that Wei Guogong felt the pressure of the private salt case, so he begged Jin Million not to make any more leaks?

Thinking of this, Li You asked Xu Shizi on behalf of Jin Million: "This old man has always had no enmity with your mansion, but because of the villain's provocation, he got into trouble. We are also well aware of this, so Jin Guozhang reported the villain of the salt transport Si Ding Yun to the government, but fortunately the imperial court paid attention to it, which triggered a great change in the salt industry of the two Huai. But when it comes to the old feelings, it doesn't involve your mansion at all, and Grandpa Guo should also be able to feel it. ”

Xu Shizi nodded slightly, "Yes, this kind father remembers it in his heart, and he really wants to thank the country-lord for his kindness." ”

Li You continued: "In the opinion of this official, Grandpa doesn't need to worry too much. Frankly speaking, with the power of your government, it is easy to avoid this salt case, and at most it will be punished by some negligence, which is insignificant. Why did you come here to plead with Jin Guozhang? ”

Xu Shizi smiled bitterly, "I knew you would have this question, and I have nothing to hide." If there is no person with a heart, it is naturally as you said, but I am afraid of meeting someone with a heart. ”

Feeling that he was gradually getting closer to the truth, Li You asked again: "In the whole world, there are people with a heart greater than the Guogong and the Nanjing garrison?" ”

"Of course there are, such as the Empress Dowager Cisheng."

Li You didn't know how many times he looked at Jin Million, and he didn't expect it, but he quickly reacted. "According to this official's thoughts, it seems that there is no need for the Empress Dowager Cisheng to target Wei Guogong, how can anyone say it?"

Xu Shizi replied again: "My uncle took Enyin as an official in Beijing, and returned to Nanjing a few days ago with the edict of the Empress Dowager Cisheng, saying that he wanted my father to go to Beijing to participate in the affairs of the nobles. ”

Xu Shizi didn't say the following words, but Li You still understood. The implication must be that if Wei Guogong does not go, then he must be careful of being implicated in the salt case.

The water in here is really getting deeper and deeper. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
