Chapter 159: Smuggling in cooperation with the Queen Mother
Shen solemnly buckled his head and pleaded guilty, and said, "Please ask the Queen Mother to surrender." ”
The Queen Mother looked at Shen and said, "Your loyal mourner knows, get up." ”
Uesugi Tiger was unconvinced, he didn't expect to bring down Shen Zhong once, but the Queen Mother favored him so much, which also made Uesugi Tiger hold a grudge.
The Queen Mother looked at Uesugi Tiger and said, "General." ”
Uesugi Tiger lowered his head and said, "The minister is here." ”
The Queen Mother said: "The mourning family knows that you have a deep affection for Sean and his son, and also know that you have a grudge against Shen Zhongxin, but now that I am worried about internal and external troubles, for the sake of national affairs, the mourning family hopes that you can let go of your knots and work together to protect the country and go to Beijing." ”
Except for the Queen Mother, none of the people present felt that the two would work together.
Uesugi Tiger was unexpectedly obedient, knelt down and saluted: "The minister is willing to protect the country." ”
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Okay, get up." ”
Uesugi Tiger stood up respectfully and stood aside, since he played his grandson, he would play it to the end.
The Queen Mother looked at Shen and said, "Commander Shen." ”
Shen bent down and said, "Yes." He has a lot of worries, if the Queen Mother is deceived by the Uesugi Tiger, with the support of the Queen Mother, his future actions will be inconvenient.
The Queen Mother looked at Shen and said: "Since the general has let go of his obsession and served the court, this is my great fortune, and it is also the protection of the ancestors, and the mourning family is very happy." ”
Shen Zhong but he didn't like it in his heart.
The Queen Mother turned her head to look at Fan Xian and said: "You are Fan Xian, persuade you to be meritorious, this birthday gift, you have put your mind into it, and the mourning family can be regarded as accepting your love." ”
Fan Xian arched his hand and said, "The foreign minister is panicked. After turning his head and looking at Shen with a smile, he said solemnly: "Lord Shen, the general I advise, from now on, the two of you will be colleagues, try to be good brothers." ”
Shen smiled and nodded, but in his heart, he couldn't wait to dismantle Fan Xian.
Fan Xian arched his hand towards the Queen Mother and said, "Queen Mother, the foreign minister has a second congratulatory gift." ”
The Queen Mother was already interested in Fan Xian's congratulatory gift, and the first one was given to Uesugi Tiger to solve her own trouble, and this second birthday gift should not be a simple thing. The Queen Mother asked, "Oh, what is that?" ”
Fan Xian glanced at Han Zhong and signaled that it was time for him to speak.
Han Zhong stood up and said, "This second congratulatory gift is here." He took out an account book, and Begonia Blossom came down to take it.
Han Zhong looked at the Queen Mother and said, "This is the shop of the Qing Treasury in Shangjing. ”
The Queen Mother glanced at the account book a few times and said, "This mourner has long known. ”
Han Zhong smiled and said: "Let me be clear, this inner treasury financial power is no longer managed by the eldest princess, it will be taken over by the eldest princess's son-in-law, and the eldest princess's son-in-law is our envoy Fan Xianfan, after returning to Beijing this time, Lord Fan will marry Lord Lin, and the financial power of the inner treasury will be transferred to Lord Fan's hands."
The Queen Mother smiled and said: "Marrying the county lord and taking charge of the wealth and power, the mourning family has long listened to it." ”
Fan Xian looked at the Queen Mother and said, "I can't hide the Queen Mother's eyes." ”
The Queen Mother asked, "What does this have to do with birthday gifts?" ”
Han Zhong looked at the Queen Mother and said: "When the eldest princess Li Yunrui was in charge of the Inner Treasury, she had privately smuggled profits with Daqi, and now the Inner Treasury is in the hands of Fan Xian, it is a pity to hand over such a large sum of money. With this money, Lord Fan will give three points to the Daqi royal family, and this three points of profit is Lord Fan's birthday gift to the Queen Mother. ”
Shen Zhong's heart was abrupt, Fan Xian's move was amazing.
The Queen Mother was puzzled when she heard this, but she was also very moved when she heard that Han Chong's three-point profit went to herself, and the business done by Qingguo's inner treasury was extremely fast, and the wealth was rivaling the country. Even if it's just the benefits of smuggling, there are a lot, and if the benefits are too small, the eldest princess Li Yunrui will not do this kind of business. The Queen Mother was very moved, but she didn't know what Fan Xian and Han Chong meant, and she had never heard of this smuggling business at all. "What kind of profit smuggling?"
Fan Xian's face changed greatly, and he said, "This... Could it be that the Queen Mother doesn't know? I celebrate the domestic treasury shop and cooperate with Lord Shen to make profits, this amount of money is not good, has Lord Shen not informed the Queen Mother. ”
Shen Zhong looked at Fan Xian coldly, and he was really doing something.
The Queen Mother looked at Shen Zhong and was already a little displeased, and said, "Commander Shen." ”
Shen Chong hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Back to the Queen Mother, there are indeed people in the inner warehouse shop who make fake accounts, but this money has already flowed to Qingguo, and Jinyiwei has not profited from it." ”
The Queen Mother doesn't believe it, don't be heavy, even the Queen Mother, who is expensive as the Northern Qi Dynasty, is moved by the three points of interest, and Jinyiwei's hands and feet will be so clean? And what a noble sentiment it is to be so kind to help the enemy country conceal the smuggling. The Queen Mother looked at Shen Zhong and said coldly: "Really? ”
Shen bowed his hand and said: "Please ask the Queen Mother to thoroughly investigate the secret files of Jinyi Wei, and the ministers will never make a profit from it." ”
The Queen Mother knew that Shen Zheng had always done things without leakage, maybe he had already guessed that there would be such a thing, and he had done a good job of evidence to clear the suspicion, even if he investigated, he couldn't find anything, so he simply pretended to be trusting and generous, looked at Shen and said: "No need to check, the mourning family naturally believes in Commander Shen." ”
Han Zhong looked at Shen Chong and said with a smile: "It turns out that Lord Shen is enthusiastic about helping people and helping people make money, and doing good deeds and accumulating virtue like this is really admirable." ”
Fan Xian smiled and said: "Yes, I also admire it very much, Lord Shen is high-spirited and self-sacrificing, and he should award you a pennant to show your gratitude." ”
Shen Zhong rolled his eyes, and explained to the Queen Mother again: "Queen Mother, this smuggling is related to the high-level leaders of Nanqing, and the minister feels that conniving at this matter is to bury the root cause of the chaos in Nanqing, so he pushed the boat down the river and became a matter of Yucheng." ”
Fan Xian admired it in his heart, this strategy was too powerful, and from a smuggling case, it could be seen that Nanqing had the root cause of the chaos.
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Oh, I see." ”
Han Zhong looked at the Queen Mother and said with a smile: "Change, don't worry, after Lord Fan takes over the inner library, this transaction can be continued, and the Queen Mother will still profit from it." ”
The Queen Mother looked at Han Zhong and Fan Xian and said, "As the ministers of Nanqing, you want to smuggle with us?" ”
Fan Xian smiled and said: "Such a large sum of money, if I hand it over, it will not be good for me, it is better for everyone to make a profit together, the foreign minister is a little greedy for money, ashamed." ”
The Queen Mother was already moved, and said: "In this matter, you have more planning, and it is arranged before leaving." "After all, it's smuggling, the Queen Mother is at most for the sake of silver, turning a blind eye and not interfering too much, to make suggestions for smuggling, or to make any guarantees, the Queen Mother will not be so stupid, and it will be disgraceful to be known.
Fan Xian arched his hand and said: "The foreign minister still has something to ask for." ”
The Queen Mother said: "Oh, look. ”
