It is impossible for this world to revolve around one person, not even the children of the world!

Just when the second master spent 5,000 taels of silver to buy a small project to repair the outer city wall of the capital from the eldest master, and sent the Qing guests and small servants to get up and down their hands, and wantonly embezzled the money allocated by the imperial court, the eldest lord suddenly received an invitation.

The governor of the Prince of Zhongshun sent it to the Emperor of Zhongshun and invited the eldest lord to attend the banquet held by the Prince of Zhongshun in the most red green building in the capital in a few days.

Lying on the grass, it's really high-profile!

"The prince is really interested!"

The eldest lord went to the meeting on time, the most well-known Qinglou in the capital was completely wrapped, hundreds of tables of flowing water seats were put out, all the delicacies and fine wines were on it, and the surrounding beauties surrounded by the sound of silk and bamboo were endless, and it was a luxurious banquet.

"Haha, Jia Enhou, you have finally returned to Beijing!"

Seeing the eldest master, Prince Zhongshun laughed and took the initiative to greet him, shattering his glasses.

Except for Prince Zhongshun's henchmen who knew what was going on, the rest of the guests at the meeting were suspicious one by one, wondering why the eldest lord was so valued by Prince Zhongshun?

What surprised them even more was that Prince Zhongshun not only greeted the eldest lord in person, but also directly pulled the eldest lord to the chief seat, which was really amazing.

Let's see who is sitting on the chief, the members of the royal family who are good friends with Prince Zhongshun, as well as the cabinet elders and the six Shangshu-level bigwigs,

Although the eldest master is already a second-class member and a waiter in the Ministry of Works, he is still a little unqualified to sit in the chief.

Prince Zhongshun personally took him to the chief, and although others were envious and jealous, they did not dare to question the prince's behavior.

At this time, Prince Zhongshun is not the same as when the eldest lord left Beijing five years ago.

Since the news of his business spread, it caused an uproar in the royal family, and at the same time, it was announced that Prince Zhongshun had lost his qualification to fight for the dragon.

In this way, it makes Prince Zhongshun's status transcendent, and as long as he doesn't die himself, he is basically invincible.

At least he will not be regarded as an opponent today, and will even give convenience in some aspects, so as to establish Prince Zhongshun as a brand of the emperor's friendly clan.

Fortunately, Prince Zhongshun's mind at this time was all focused on developing overseas careers, and he was not much interested in the power struggles within Daqi, and now he was given a transcendent status, and he did not toss around.

On the contrary, he took advantage of the opportunity to increase the intensity of maritime trade under his command, and at the same time began to gather manpower and strength, and began to migrate overseas.

These are all hidden in the sea trade, and have not attracted the attention of today's and other forces, and they only think that Prince Zhongshun has lost his eyes.

The so-called wall standing with a thousand blades without desire is rigid, at this time the Prince of Zhongshun is in such a state, at least in the territory of Daqi, he can act unscrupulously, and will not cause today's suspicion and disgust.

It is precisely because of this that Prince Zhongshun's banquet invited so many high-ranking guests at once, so everyone doesn't have to worry about having bad associations today.

It's just that no one expected that Prince Zhongshun, who has become more and more flamboyant and high-profile in recent years, would be so favored by the eldest master.

If it weren't for the noble status of the chief cadre, looking at Prince Zhongshun's posture, I am afraid that the eldest lord would be sitting next to the guest chief.

How can the eldest lord be so valued by Prince Zhongshun?

The eldest lord completely ignored the envy or jealousy of the surroundings, or the inquiring eyes, and sat at the bottom of the chief seat, eating and drinking without being affected in the slightest.

What about the cabinet elder sitting next to him?

Even if there is a top boss of the Ministry of Works, it does not affect his behavior.

Just this kind of chic and free demeanor that treats the big guy as nothing, makes the cabinet elders at the same table and several scholars of the six departments look sideways, and they are secretly amazed in their hearts.

They are all old foxes who have become elites, so naturally they don't pay too much attention to the issue of face, and besides, the eldest master didn't provoke Tanma, and for no reason he targeted a second-grade master named Prince Zhongshun, did he know it?

"Prince, what's the joy of putting on such a big scene today?"

Drinking and eating at the same time, the eldest lord enjoyed the exquisite skills of the palace's 'special chef', and asked curiously at Prince Zhongshun, who was blushing.

His question was also the doubt in the hearts of the guests at the banquet, and when they heard this, they slowed down their actions of eating and drinking, and pricked up their ears to listen carefully.

"Haha, this king has made a big business overseas again, and he is happy to start a banquet!"

Prince Zhongshun was also frank, laughing and saying directly: "The income of this business is even comparable to the sum of previous years, how can this king be unhappy?" ”

The chief cadres and the big men looked at each other, but their faces were full of disdain, and they no longer paid attention to what the prince said.

In their opinion, it is just a lot of money, even if they make a million taels in one go, it is nothing compared to the strength of Prince Zhongshun.

"Haha, I didn't expect the prince to have such a benefit, congratulations!"

Hearing this, the eldest man's eyes lit up, and he raised his glass and laughed and said happy, without any fakeness.

He naturally heard the words of Prince Zhongshun, obviously this man's territory in Luzon has more than doubled, otherwise he would not be so happy and happy.

"Haha, it's all the credit of Enhou for mentioning something!"

Prince Zhongshun's face was full of redness, and he directly raised the wine glass and saluted the eldest master, ignoring the surprised eyes of the big guys around him, and said proudly: "The benefits this time are really beyond imagination!" ”

"Hehe, this is the result of the prince's accumulation, I just said a few words, and being able to do it to the current level is the result of the efforts of the prince and his subordinates!"

The eldest lord didn't take credit, he didn't expect that just a few years later, Prince Zhongshun would make a major breakthrough in Luzon, and then he was afraid that he would accelerate the migration of population and power.

"Haha, Enhou is polite!"

The smile on Prince Zhongshun's face became brighter and brighter, and he invited directly; "When the banquet is over, Enhou don't leave in a hurry, we can also have a good chat about the trade between the open seas!"..

"It's better to be respectful than to obey!"

The eldest lord was not polite, and responded directly, attracting envious eyes from all around.

Most of the guests at the meeting suddenly knew that the eldest lord was favored by Prince Zhongshun, and it turned out that the prince was meritorious in business, and this would be the result of the prince's favor.

In the era when Confucianism was the dominant mainstream, business was really the last class that could not be put on the stage, and there was not much interest in the officials who were admitted to the imperial examination.

On the contrary, the officials, who were also nobles, became interested in the overseas trade that the eldest lord and the prince of Zhongshun talked about.

They don't care much about reputation, if they can make a lot of money, the family power will last forever, and it is much more affordable than the so-called clean name.

Can the huge income of Prince Zhongshun almost get carried away, at least one million two units, right?

A million taels of silver!

As long as you think about it, it makes people feel that their hearts are hot, and if you can catch up with the line and make a lot of money, it is really called taking advantage.

Some of the officials from the noble families present suddenly became active, wondering whether to contact the eldest lord in private, to see if they could make a lot of money by connecting with the offshore fleet of the eldest lord and Prince Zhongshun?

Only the old fox sitting in the chief position faintly felt that something was wrong with the situation, but he couldn't say what was wrong, and he always felt that the dialogue between Prince Zhongshun and the eldest master was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

But looking at the rise of the eldest lord's career, there seems to be no connection with Prince Zhongshun, which makes the chief old fox scratch his head.

Two people with an average relationship, when they get together, they have something to say, and it feels impossible to do so.

But all the old foxes here are faintly aware of what the eldest lord said to Prince Zhongshun, and I am afraid that it is not as simple as trade in the open sea.

It's just that this kind of thing doesn't have much to do with them.

Prince Zhongshun has lost his qualification to fight for the dragon, and there is no conflict of interest with the old fox here, even if he and the eldest master are secretly colluding, it will not hinder them from doing anything.

After thinking about it for a while, it was impossible for them to break the casserole and ask to the end.

Whether it is the loyal prince or the eldest lord, they are not good stubble, if there is no fierce conflict of interest, no one will be easily offended, and if there is no benefit in setting up a great enemy in vain, they will not do such a stupid thing.

Prince Zhongshun is in a transcendent position at the moment, and he can not care about what the old fox here thinks, even if he is today, he will not easily offend him to death, and he naturally relaxes his mind and does not think too much about surprises.

The eldest lord naturally didn't care anymore, the two of them were so happy to talk and laugh, anyway, what they said sounded like no problem at all, it was all about the open sea trade and business, and they were not afraid of leaking out.

But in fact, the two of them have already explained the situation that should be said more clearly, and only the two of them and the prince's henchmen can understand the underlying meaning.

A banquet is naturally very successful, at least the guests at the meeting are basically eating and drinking well and even having a good time, if you want to stay in the Qinglou for a night, Prince Zhongshun will not be stingy with so much silver.

When the guests were almost gone, the eldest lord followed Prince Zhongshun to a secret courtyard, according to Prince Zhongshun, in the place where the number was registered today, the inside was relatively clean, and there was no need to worry that what he said would be overheard.

"Jia Enhou, do you know that through the power of the Dragon Court today, you have almost found out the murderer of your nephew Lin Ruhai in the dark sea, who is a leper monk and a lame Taoist!"

As soon as the guests and hosts sat down, Prince Zhongshun said a 'shocking' news, and looked at the eldest lord with a smile, obviously wanting to see the eldest lord's suddenly changed expression.

It's a pity that he was disappointed, and the eldest lord's expression did not fluctuate in the slightest as usual, and he chuckled; "No matter who makes the move, I can accept it, and when I meet them in the future, I will naturally make them pay the price they deserve!"
