Chen Xu was convinced that the dog could jump over the wall in a hurry, even if he had the support of the emperor, Shinong and industrialist, he could not completely offend any class. Mr. Su bought his son out of the edict with 50,000 taels of silver tickets, and Chen Xu realized for the first time that kidnapping tickets was really a promising career, but he couldn't forget that he was still an official, and even if he was a pit person, he had to be willing to pit others.

"Mr. Su is so high-spirited, how can Ling Lang be a rebel? Chen has made it clear that Ling Lang has nothing to do with Fang Hong's rebellion. ”

"Lord Chen is discerning, and Su is grateful." Looking at Chen Xu's smiling face, Mr. Su said this through gritted back molars.

"Who used you to pretend to be a good person?" Su Gongzi didn't appreciate it, he pointed at Chen Xu's nose and scolded, "Father ......"

Chen Xu couldn't bear it, "Mr. Su, even if Ling Lang wants to abuse me, he can't call me my father." ”

Mr. Su's facial muscles twitched, and he glared at the dog fiercely, the 50,000 silver ticket was really fucking wronged; Su Gongzi didn't know how to read words and feelings, he continued what he said just now, "Father, he is a brute......

Chen Xu intercepted Su Gongzi's words again, and he took it out of context and said, "Su Gongzi, this is your fault, your father broke his heart for you, how could he be a brute?" ”

Mr. Su was so angry that he kicked his dog, but he sighed in his heart that his son was playing tricks with Chen Xu, which was simply playing a lantern in a pit - looking for (death).

"You... You ......" Su Gongzi was so angry that he almost vomited blood, "You... You've made the belly of the Qingtan fairy bigger, and I... I'm not done with you. ”

"Qingtan Fairy's belly is really not big now. I promise. Chen Xu was not angry, the higher the popularity of Qingtan in the rivers and lakes and temples, the more he had a sense of achievement, the fairies without clothes in the world are the most beautiful, tonight I have to try "Qiao Guanyin Sitting on the Lotus", appreciate the scenery of 5,000 years up and down; Chen Xu didn't speak, but Mr. Su was furious, just because Qingtan Fairy, a woman who can be seen from a distance and cannot be blasphemed, his son actually caused him to smash 50,000 taels of silver, this loser really thinks that the family's silver is blown by a strong wind?

"Come here!"

Su Gongzi glared at Chen Xu hatefully. He just walked up to his father, but Mr. Su's actions were beyond his expectations, flying legs were kicks, and the few steps he had just taken were completely in vain.

Hit a stick to give a sweet date, Chen Xu played this hand has reached a state of supernatural beauty, Mr. Su paid an additional 10,000 taels of silver for his son's behavior, and reciprocated the peach, Chen Xu later asked him to open 60,000 silver treasury bonds.

Chen Xu did this with both purpose and utilitarianism, and he far-fetched to associate loyal ministers and filial sons with the purchase of treasury bonds. Mr. Su bought the treasury bonds, such a person who is dedicated to the country. Is his dog a thief?

Chen Xu's reason may be absurd, but for the parents of those children in prison, they are afraid that he is not ridiculous, Mr. Su dares to be the first in the world, and they have followed suit, you 100,000, I 80,000, one hand to hand over the silver, the other hand to lead the son, basically everyone will choose to call the son over and kick back. Doing this kind of thing for a woman who can only look at but can't touch is a bastard, not to mention 100,000, how many women can be bought for 10,000 silver......

Chen Xu counted the silver votes while talking and laughing, and in a short period of time, he amassed nearly 10 million taels of silver, and such a huge wealth could almost cover Dayan's financial income for two to three years.

The orthodox emperor listened to Chen Xu's report. He was a little incredulous, the country's finances were tight, even the royal family had to cut back on food and clothing, Chen Xu was able to amass so much money with a little trick. Is Dayan really poor? In the long run, the country will not be a country, and Dayan will be in danger.

Chen Xu also knew that the imperial court was flawed, and that reform might be able to alleviate the country's financial crisis, but now it was out of date, and as for when it was appropriate, he couldn't figure it out, the problem was too wide-ranging, and if drastic reforms were made, the entire ruling class of Dayan might be his enemy.

As a modern person, he knows until a common sense - all reformers have no good end, such as Shang Ying, for example, the six gentlemen of Wuxu......

In any case, there are enough silver taels to prepare for the war, and as for the national bonds issued, tomorrow will be worried, not to mention those big landlords and wealthy people who have paid money, they don't think that this bond can be exchanged for silver taels at all, and the state owes money to individuals? It's just a joke.

Chen Xu still knows how to be flexible, but his father-in-law, the imperial historian Qin Zheng Qin, the left capital of the dynasty, is too straightforward, and his letter of impeachment of the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River for the annexation of land by the noble class caused an uproar in the imperial court. Chen Xu only knew that Dayan had land annexation before, but he didn't know that this situation had developed to the point of shaking the country's foundation.

More than half of the tax-paying land in Dayan was occupied by the big landlord class and then refused to pay taxes, and even the Hanging Temple, which is known as the orthodoxy of the rivers and lakes, has no less than 1,000 hectares of land under its name.

Although the orthodox emperor has passed the age of his establishment, he can be named "Xiaobai" in the political zhì, thinking about Chen Xu's "accumulation" of money, he is not only furious, but the strict order to investigate thoroughly is opposed by the entire court. The emperor's decree was returned, and as the first person to "dare to eat crabs", Qin Zheng was also dismissed for "slander, disorderly government, and chaos of the ancestral system".

On the last day of September, Chen Xu finished his official business, and at dusk, he took Meng Yao to visit his father-in-law's family.

"Coming?" Qin Zheng's attitude was a little cold, there was a fierce confrontation in the court, Chen Xu, as an upstart in the court and the first powerful minister in the court, he didn't say a word for his father-in-law, Qin Zheng had a lot of complaints about this.

"The old man has seen Chen Shangshu." Qin Zheng looked like he wanted to give Chen Xu a salute.

Chen Xu hurriedly supported Qin Zheng, he scratched his head helplessly, "Father-in-law, are you still blaming your son-in-law?" ”

Qin Zheng snorted, and he said, "How dare you!" After a pause, he said, "The title of father-in-law will never be mentioned again in the future, Lord Chen is the husband of the princess of the dynasty......

"Daddy......" Meng Yao shouted dissatisfied.

Qin Zheng shouted at his daughter, "Shut up! ”

Qin Guan was startled, grinning and about to cry, Liu Shi hurriedly said, "Master, don't make a child angry if you are not happy." ”

Qin Zheng just snorted, and he didn't say anything anymore. Liu knew that Chen Xu and the others had not yet eaten, she was preparing wine and food, Chen Xu squeezed Meng Yao's little hand, and he said to Qin Zheng, "Father-in-law, yesterday in the court, it was not that the son-in-law did not agree with your point of view, but that you were too anxious, father-in-law. ”

"Impatient?" Qin Zheng asked a little unscrupulously and curiously. Huan Hai has been up and down for nearly 20 years, but in front of Chen Xu, he does not have a sense of superiority as a person who has come over, on the contrary, he really admires this son-in-law's talent and insight.

"Dayan is like a weak patient, his weakness cannot be repaired, but you have prescribed a tiger and wolf, which not only cannot get rid of stubborn diseases, but will aggravate the condition and even kill him." Chen Xu said as he organized his language, "What's more, the most urgent thing at the moment is not internal worries but external troubles, once the war breaks out, the son-in-law is bound to not be able to turn against the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, otherwise they will disobey the yang and yin, and this battle will be lost before it starts." ”

"Hey!" Chen Xu's words were exchanged for Qin Zheng's sigh......

After dinner, before Chen Xu and Meng Yao said goodbye, Qin Zheng and his wife called Meng Yao to the room.

"Meng Yao......" Qin Zheng glanced at the Liu family without saying anything, and the Liu family said for him, "Meng Yao, you have been married to the Chen Mansion for a while, whether it is Qingtan Fairy or Qiuyue, one of them gave birth to Lin'er, and the other is pregnant with a baby, you should also hurry up." ”

Meng Yao felt the urge to cry when she heard this, she had already grasped it, but she was not pregnant with a baby.

"Princess Sirou's marriage to Chen Xu is a foregone conclusion, if you can't give birth to a child before the princess enters the door, there is still a place for you in the mansion?" Now that the conversation box was opened, Qin Zheng also interjected, "Although you are the wife that Chen Xuming is marrying, but when the princess enters the door, you are at best a maid - concubines are not allowed - you have been willful since childhood, and you don't know how to compromise and seek perfection, if the princess can't tolerate you, where should you go?" ”

Meng Yao was silent, she was originally just worried about not being able to have children, but after listening to her father's words, the worry in her heart became a little more. On the way home, the two rode together, Chen Xu put his arm around Meng Yao's waist and thought about the past few days, and suddenly he felt a cold wetness on the back of his hand, it was raining? Chen Xu looked up and looked around before suddenly realizing that these were Meng Yao's tears.

"What's going on? Can't think about being reprimanded by your father for two sentences? The daughter's family is broad-minded. ”

Chen Xu deliberately looked at Meng Yao's chest and preached, but Meng Yao was unmoved, she asked rhetorically, "Phase... Childe, can you still stay in Meng Yao's room at night? ”

Chen Xu was a little speechless, he wanted to know what his father-in-law and mother-in-law had said to Meng Yao so that she thought of going to bed; Seeing that Chen Xu was silent, Meng Yao was not only anxious, "Qingtan has already given birth to a child, and Qiuyue still has a big belly, so it is a waste for you to accompany them at night." ”

"Waves... Waste?! Chen Xu's eyes widened for this......

On the first day of October, before dawn, Mengyao's room, Xing'er, who was sleeping outside, heard a hurried knock on the door.

Xing'er didn't sleep well at all last night, in the first half of the night, her ears were filled with Miss's blushing and heartbeating voice - some people said that this is called lewd 'sound 'wave' - she made up the picture of her aunt tossing Miss in her own brain, and in the second half of the night, she was Miss Yy, and her uncle treated her like a young lady, confused, as if she was asleep, and her uncle was startled away by the knock on the door.

Xing'er hurriedly changed her clothes, and when she opened the door, she realized that there was a military report for her uncle to see.

He finally decided to go south, and his troops divided into two routes, all the way through Xuanfu to attack Juyong Pass, in order to achieve the purpose of confusing the public; The other route also led the main force through Datong and went straight to the Bauhinia Pass with the momentum of the tiger descending the mountain.

Bauhinia Pass commander Han Qing died in battle, and Sun Xiang, the deputy envoy of the right deputy capital of the garrison, held on, and first under the leadership of the eunuch Xining, secretly crossed the mountains, detoured to Nanguan, and launched a decisive battle with the Yan army at Bauhinia Pass.

Due to the disparity in strength, Sun Xiang died in battle, and the Bauhinia Pass was broken.

Bauhinia Pass is the gateway to the capital, the Bauhinia Pass is broken, the capital is not in danger to defend, and the iron horse is driven straight into the ......
