Chapter 649: Xinwu Houfu
The former "Protector's Mansion" has become today's "New Wuhou Mansion", although it is still the same mansion, and the same group of people live in the mansion, even the maid and the old mother have not replaced one, but now the status and significance of the people in this "New Wuhou Mansion" have undergone earth-shaking changes. The former lord of the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Han Xiao has now been reduced to a prisoner of the forbidden place in the inner courtyard, and Han Cheng, who is not too conspicuous among the core clansmen of the Han family on weekdays, has become the real master of this mansion now, and the Han family is still able to eat and drink, but what they enjoy is no longer Han Xiao's shadow, but has been replaced by Han Cheng's blessing.
The young master of the past has become the master of today. In the past, the younger generations who were at the back of the table sat at the top of the main hall today. The nephew who lived in the east wing in the past has also moved to the main room in the north today, and all of this is not to say that the Han family is a little unaccustomed to it, and even the people will often make mistakes. For example, the order of serving tea and pouring water and the number of seats at the dinner table, etc., but Han Cheng's attitude towards his family and subordinates is extremely gentle, even if people often make mistakes, he can greet him with a smile and not blame the past, and gradually Han Cheng also won the favor of many people in the house, including the Han family, everyone began to gradually forget Han Cheng's ingratitude in betraying Han Xiao, and slowly began to think of Han Cheng's goodness.
There are also various rumors about the Han family among the people of the Holy Land, some people say that the Han family has a Han City is a misfortune for the family, and it ends up with cannibalism among relatives. But some people say that it is a great fortune for the Han family to have Han City, because with Han Cheng, the glory and wealth of the Han family did not end with Han Xiao, but compared to the time when Han Xiao was in power, today's Han family seems to be more prominent in Jinling City. After all, Han Xiao has been in power for many years, and everyone has become accustomed to it, and Han Cheng is now thriving and upstart, so there is naturally an endless stream of people who come to talk to him, and there are countless people. Since the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xinwu Houfu has been crowded with visitors almost every day, and the congratulatory gifts received by Hancheng have been filled with several large houses.
But what outsiders don't know is that in today's Xinwuhou Mansion, not only the Han family's clansmen live, but also several guests whose identities and whereabouts are extremely hidden. The fact that these people live in the house is unknown to all but a very few. They are Su Xie, Yufeng, Dongfang Su and Donghua Palace Four Immortal Venerables and others.
Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Han Cheng set up a banquet in the inner mansion to invite Su Xie and others to enjoy the moon and watch the lanterns together, everyone is in a very good mood, and everyone has a little hazy drunkenness after three rounds of wine and five flavors.
"Brother Su, I'll toast you again!" Han Cheng's face turned red and raised his wine glass to salute Su Xie, who was sitting opposite, and said loudly, "What kind of life am I living now? This is the day I once dreamed of, this is the day that my Han Cheng should live." All of this is because of you, thanks to Brother Su, so I want to toast you again. Without waiting for Su Xie to reply, Han Cheng had already drunk it all by himself, and then laughed heartily.
"Then I wish Brother Han to go further. Su Xie's eyes looked extremely energetic, and he smiled unhurriedly, "I also take this opportunity to congratulate my father-in-law on becoming Shang Wenhou of the Holy Domain, it seems that Yan Chong has already begun to have the heart to cultivate the two of you as the new Duke of Wending and the Duke of Protector." ”
Everyone smiled when they heard this, and Yufeng said: "In this way, you must solve the civil rebellion smoothly this time, so that you can win Yan Chong's trust, and the two of you can successfully take over the power." ”
"That's what I'm worried about right now. Su Shiyuan smiled bitterly, "Although the Emperor has deposed Lu Yifan and Han Xiao, these Diao people still don't seem to be satisfied. Although the people who are messing around in Jinling City have faded, there are still small disturbances in other places. ”
"That's nature. Su Xie said with a smile, "What they lost in vain was the sale of their lives, real money, how could Yan Chong just give Lu Yifan a few charges in a few words? It is our purpose to let Lu Yifan fall into disrepute, but it is not the purpose of these creditors. ”
"Then how should this matter be good?" Han Cheng asked drunkenly, "A group of Diao people who don't know whether they are alive or dead, according to my intentions, should be killed and made an example, catch a few of the most ferocious ones and drag them directly to the street, in front of everyone, I see who dares to make trouble again!"
"No!" Su Shiyuan retorted, "If this is the case, it will definitely arouse the anger of the people, and when the people's resentment boils, it will inevitably be like a torrent of fierce beasts, and it will be out of control." ”
"What the father-in-law said is right, Brother Han, you have to listen to your father-in-law more in this matter, he is more thoughtful than you. Su Xie smiled and said, "But you don't have to be too anxious, I have already discussed with Jiang Tianbao, he will use the power of the Qinghong Chamber of Commerce to help you calm this trouble first, and after the trouble is resolved, you can take over the power of the Holy Domain, and then you will have to repay him well." Hehe......"
"Even if we sell all our family assets, it's not as good as a dime, how can we repay him?" Han Cheng asked suspiciously.
"If you have power, you will have money, Jiang Tianbao will use the money to help you ascend to a high position and take over the power, and then you will be able to help him if you have the power in the holy domain. Su Xie's words seemed to be deliberately covering up something, and he never made it clear.
"How can I help him?" Han Cheng didn't know whether he deliberately broke the casserole with the strength of the wine and asked if he was really curious, in short, he refused to give up, "Brother Su, if you don't explain my heart...... There's no bottom!"
Hearing Han Cheng's words, Su Xie only smiled slightly, and then he turned his head to look at Yufeng, who was sitting on the side and was picking up vegetables for himself, and said slowly: "Then I will tell you, after you and your father-in-law hold the power of the Holy Domain, you will use the power of the court to suppress the Qi Family Chamber of Commerce, and protect the business of the Qinghong Chamber of Commerce in the Holy Land everywhere." The huge territory of the Holy Domain will definitely make Jiang Tianbao earn a lot of money when the time comes, isn't this equivalent to repaying him?"
"Boom!"
As soon as Su Xie's words came out, Yufeng, who was about to pour wine for Su Xie, was shocked, and then the hand holding the wine jug also loosened, and the wine jug fell on the table and spilled everywhere, and everyone at the table also cast surprised eyes. Yufeng ignored everyone's strange appearance, and just asked Su Xie with a complicated face, "You...... Do you really want to help the Qinghong Chamber of Commerce suppress the Qi Family Chamber of Commerce?
"Of course!" Su Xie said as he reached out and hugged Yufeng's waist and said with a smile, "Otherwise, how could Jiang Tianbao willingly help them solve the trouble in the Holy Domain?"
"But the Qi Family Chamber of Commerce is my ...... after all"
"Or if you ask President Qi to come forward to help solve this matter, I can do without Jiang Tianbao. Without waiting for Yufeng to finish speaking, Su Xie grabbed the words with a smile, "Is it okay?"
"My dad would never interfere in this. Yufeng muttered to herself with a lonely face.
"Then it can't be helped. Su Xie shook his head helplessly and said, "If the Qi Family Chamber of Commerce doesn't help, it can only rely on the Qinghong Chamber of Commerce." Yufeng, in fact, you don't have to mind so much, after all, Qi Wanshan no longer plans to hand over the Qi Family Chamber of Commerce to you, since the Qi Family Chamber of Commerce is no longer yours, why do you care so much about its life or death?"
"But ......"
"Okay!" Before Yufeng could speak again, Su Xie had a straight expression and said loudly, "This matter has been decided, and the rest will be discussed later." Saying that, Su Xie glanced around everyone at the table with a gleam in his eyes, and said with something in his words: "This is just a small success, I hope that in the future, everyone here will work with Su Mou with one heart and one mind, and do their best, so that your wishes can be fulfilled one by one." If someone has two intentions, then don't blame Su for turning his face and being ruthless. ”
"Don't worry, since we have chosen to help you, we will definitely help you to the end. The Four Immortal Venerables of Donghua Palace took the lead and said, "If Lu Yifan is not removed for a day, I will not return to Donghua Palace for a day to resume my life." ”
"Okay!" Su Xie smiled with satisfaction, so he completely ignored the complaining Yufeng, and raised his wine glass to salute the people at the table.
After a round of wine, everyone's drunkenness was already a little more, Han Cheng shook his head and walked to Su Xie with the wine jug, his arm directly on Su Xie's shoulder, Shi Tian, who was sitting on the side, wanted to get up and push Han Cheng away, but was stopped by Su Xie with a wave of his hand. Han Cheng leaned in front of Su Xie and said with a smile: "Now that the matter of the court is settled, what should we do next?"
"Brother Han and his father-in-law are now upstarts in the court, and they are big celebrities in front of Emperor Yanchong, and the top priority at the moment is, of course, to discuss with Jiang Tianbao to quell the people's rebellion smoothly, and strive to achieve a high position above 10,000 people under one person as soon as possible. Su Xie smiled methodically, "As for other things, you don't have to worry about it, you have done well enough, and it is time to give others the opportunity to take the position later. Hehe......"
"That's nature. Su Shiyuan nodded and said, "The rest of the matter is not something that Lord Han and I can interfere in, so naturally it has to be handed over to someone more capable to do." Saying that, Su Shiyuan also turned his head to look at Dongfang Su with an eager face. Ever since Dongfang Su came to Jinling City with Su Xie and the others, he has been thinking about re-erecting the banner of Xuanzong and regaining everything that belonged to him. It's just that Su Xie let him hold back in the Han Mansion during this time, and he endured it again and again, allowing Dongfang Su to ask for his life several times, but Su Xie ruthlessly rejected it before the time came.
"Su Evil Son, isn't it time to ...... next?"
"I'm afraid the Eastern Sect Master is in a hurry, right?" Su Xie replied with a smile, "Now that the time is ripe, it is indeed time for the Eastern Sect Master and your Xuanzong to show their might." ”
"What do you mean, are you going to start attacking the Soul Sect?" Han Cheng muttered and spat out the wine, and said vaguely, "I see that Lu Yifan is dead, and all that is left on Xihuang Mountain is a rabble that is not to be feared...... If the Eastern Sect Master is short of manpower, I can send troops to help you set foot on the Xihuang Mountain......"
"Confused!" As soon as Han Cheng said this, Su Xie's eyes suddenly widened, and then he reached out and grabbed Han Cheng's right hand on his arm, and then pinched his five fingers hard, and a huge pain quickly passed into his mind along Han Cheng's five fingers, making his wine suddenly sober up a lot. Han Cheng was sweating profusely in pain, looked at Su Xie in surprise, and asked with a little hesitation, "Brother Su, could it be me...... What did you say wrong?"
"Of course, Lord Han said it wrong. Su Shiyuan said, "How can you come forward to help the Eastern Sect Master deal with the Soul Sect? Isn't this telling the Emperor that we have already colluded with the Eastern Sect Master?"
"Collusion is collusion, what can we do?" Han Cheng asked puzzledly, "In the future, we will monopolize power in the DPRK, and the Eastern Sect Master will control the major sects in the Holy Domain, wouldn't our collusion be a perfect combination?"
"Hmph, do you think Yan Chong would be stupid enough to let his powerful ministers secretly communicate with the Sect Master of the Sacred Domain?" Su Xie said in a cold voice, "If Yan Chong knows that you are wearing a pair of pants, he will not be able to deal with the Eastern Sect Master at that time, and he will inevitably attack you." ”
"Doesn't the Emperor want to have a good relationship with the Sect Master of the Sacred Domain?" Han Cheng asked.
"Of course, the Emperor wants to have a good relationship with the Sect Master, but the Emperor can get along with the Sect Master, but the Emperor will never allow his subordinates to get too close to the Sect Master. Su Shiyuan said, "This is the art of conspiracy, as the henchmen of the Emperor, not only can we not get too close to the Eastern Sect Master, but we must always maintain a hostile attitude, so that the Emperor can be convinced of you and me." ”
Hearing Su Shiyuan and Su Xie's explanation, Han Cheng gradually understood, just now he was just drunk so he couldn't figure out the reason, but now he came to his senses and naturally understood the stakes, and said: "I lost my words just now, and now I understand what Brother Su meant." We are in the opposition in the east, and we must be two unrelated people in front of the emperor. ”
"I know Yan Chong's thoughts very well. Su Xie slowly let go of Han Cheng's hand and said faintly, "If he finally knocked Lu Yifan down and wanted to re-nominate someone to be the Sect Master of the Holy Domain, then the last thing he wanted this person to choose was Dongfang Su." They used to have festivals, and you should know very well without me saying more. But once the Eastern Sect Master re-establishes the banner of Xuanzong, he will inevitably not be able to escape Yan Chong's eyes, and he will know about it sooner or later, so there are two extremely critical points in this, and there is no room for mistakes. ”
"Su Xie Gongzi, please speak up. Dongfang Su said respectfully.
"First, the Eastern Sect Master must act quickly against the Soul Sect, to calm the Soul Sect with the momentum of the wind and clouds, and to use the fastest speed to subdue the major sects of the Holy Domain to listen to your orders, if someone wants to be a stumbling block at this juncture, then kill a hundred and never tolerate it. Su Xie Zhengse said, "Han Cheng and his righteous father can't be ruthless, but the Eastern Sect Master must be ruthless, if you don't be ruthless, you can't suppress the major sects of the Holy Domain." ”
"Evil Master Su rest assured!" Dongfang Su sneered, "The old man has also been the Sect Master of the Sacred Domain for decades, so he naturally understands the balance of this. ”
"I let you hurry up because I don't want to leave time for Yan Chong to fight back. Su Xie nodded and continued, "Second, Brother Han and his father-in-law must also quell the rebellion as soon as possible, and in front of Yan Chong, they must resolutely show their determination to fight the Eastern Sect Master to the death. When Yan Chong found out that the Eastern Sect Leader was making a comeback, he would inevitably quickly gather his own forces to prevent accidents, and this time to employ people was the perfect time for the two of you to take the throne. At that time, I will arrange a few plays between Brother Han and the Eastern Sect Leader to prove that you are evenly matched, and let Yan Chong know that Brother Han is capable of confronting the Eastern Sect Master, so that Yan Chong will not easily abolish Brother Han and his father-in-law in the future, and your power can be held securely. ”
"In that case, will the Eastern Sect Master live in my mansion now......
"The more dangerous the place, the safer. Without waiting for Han Cheng to express the doubts in his heart, Su Xie had already guessed his intentions, and sneered unhurriedly, "What's more, now that Yan Chong's mind is on dealing with the two things of the Soul Sect and the People's Revolution, I never thought that Xuanzong would choose to make a comeback at this time." ”
"That old man will start to settle the matter of the Soul Sect tomorrow. ”
"Master Su and I will also negotiate with Jiang Tianbao to quickly resolve this popular uprising. ”
Seeing that Dongfang Su and Han Cheng were both full of confidence, Su Xie's eyes couldn't help but flash a treacherous look. Su Xie is different from Lu Yifan in one thing, that is, he is a little scary in his low-key personality, compared to Han Cheng, Su Shiyuan and Dongfang Su, who are vying to be household names, Su Xie prefers to hide behind his back and be the real master of the Holy Land.
Late at night, Su Xie stood alone by the window and didn't know what to ponder, the preoccupied Yufeng took a cloak and walked slowly to Su Xie to put it on for him, and then grabbed Su Xie's waist from behind with both hands, gently put his ear on the back of Su Xie's heart, and asked softly: "No matter what you do, I will support you without hesitation, I think about the affairs of the Qi Family Chamber of Commerce, I won't care anymore, just let Jiang Tianbao and Han Cheng ...... them."
"They're just bait!" Before Yufeng finished speaking, Su Xie slowly turned around and hugged Yufeng's delicate body with a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile, "It's the bait I prepared for you to catch big fish." ”
"For me?" Yufeng couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, obviously she hadn't been able to understand what Su Xie meant.
"I am now going to ask the Qinghong Chamber of Commerce to fill this big hole, the purpose is to support Han Cheng and his father-in-law to ascend to the throne. Su Xie Youya smiled wryly, "And the real purpose of using my power to suppress the Qi Family Chamber of Commerce after I let Han Cheng and my father-in-law take the throne is not to help the Qinghong Chamber of Commerce become bigger." ”
"That's ......"
"It's to create pressure on your father Qi Wanshan, so that he has to come and beg me. When the time comes, I will promise to let the Qi Family Chamber of Commerce go, but the condition is that it is ......" Su Xie's words paused abruptly, and then looked at the two seductive glows radiating from Yufeng's shining eyes, and said with a smile, "The condition is that he will abolish the position of Qi Yulou's heir and make you the new master of the Qi Family Chamber of Commerce." ”
The words fell, and before Yufeng could excitedly open her mouth to thank her, Su Xie had already leaned down and quickly blocked Yufeng's seductive red lips that seemed to be about to spit out Youlan with his lips.
