"Blame me, guys! I spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain! Yesterday, Master Bao was afraid that he would discuss with me because of the feelings of the abolition! Maybe he also got the news that the official family was beaten by the queen, so he came to me! Why was I so confused that I thought he was asking me for help because of this trouble for him! Fan Zhongyan said with regret.

Seeing Fan Zhongyan like this, everyone had no choice but to persuade one after another.

At this time, he heard Ouyang Xiu say, "That's not right! Lord Fan, didn't your housekeeper say that Bao Qingxu was waiting for adults in the adult's mansion at the beginning of the time? And didn't Master Kong say that the queen's injury to the official's family happened in the middle of the night? So how can this Bao Qing not predict the prophet? ”

Fan Zhongyan was right to think about it, and looked at Kong Daofu with some doubts.

Kong Daofu said: "My wife's distant niece is the personal maid next to Empress Guo, and the time is absolutely wrong!"

"Then hurry up and send someone to invite that bag of green back to ask!" Fan Zhongyan said.

Unfortunately, the development of the situation took a turn for the worse, and three days later, Bao Qing returned to the capital, and heard that Renzong had deposed the queen, and Fan Zhongyan and Kong Daofu and others knocked in front of the vertical arch hall to admonish, and finally Renzong was furious and directly deposed a cadre and others. Fan Zhongyan was sent out of the river and demoted to the governor of Muzhou.

"Everyone, leave it here! The matter of social work depends on your support! Fan Zhongyan was secretly sad and said helplessly.

"Fan Gong, take care!"

Because Renzong not only issued a holy decree, but also sent someone to supervise and urge Fan Zhongyan to leave the capital immediately to take up his post. The group sent Fan Zhongyan out of Beijing, and everyone sighed along the way.

What's more, Fu Bi said dissatisfiedly: "I think what Bao Qing said is true! The worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world, is really pure nonsense! ”

Just when everyone was about to leave, they saw a white high-headed horse in the distance, standing lonely and staring, there was a person sitting on the horse's back, looking extremely cold and lonely, everyone looked at it, it turned out to be Bao Qing. This Bao Qing has been waiting here for a long time.

Fan Zhongyan sighed a little, stepped forward, and smiled helplessly: "It made Master Bao laugh!" ”

"Hmph, Bao Qing, you only came back at this time? Where were you when you were most needed? Ouyang Xiu said angrily.

Bao Qing didn't pay attention, just pulled Fan Zhongyan aside, and said softly: "I have already learned about the abolition of the post-abolition, but I have not been able to contact Master Fan in time." This matter was planned by Lu Yijian. But through this incident, I also want to understand one thing, there are some things that we can't stop, and what we can do is to minimize the loss, or turn things into good things. If it was just Lu Yijian, he could give it a go. After the abolition, it lies in the official family. This is a state affair, but more importantly, it is a private affair of the official family! It is really unwise for you to go straight to the arch hall together, knock on the golden gate, and make too much noise! ”

"In your opinion, is there a remedy?" Fan Zhongyan listened to Bao Qing's words, as if this post-mortem thing was still saved, and couldn't help but ask with some excitement.

"Actually, it's very simple, Master Fan, think about it, if this Queen Guo is deposed, who will benefit the most? Who is most likely to receive the throne of this queen? ”

"This, in my opinion, is it Concubine Pang? Li Guifei? ”

"It's not right, it should be Shang Meiren, the initiator?"

"What? Are you saying that this Shang Mei and Lu Yijian colluded and framed Empress Guo together? Fan Zhongyan was taken aback.

"It's not about framing, it's just that this Queen Guo herself is too careless! Caught in the way of others! ”

"Then with this mere beauty, you can get the queen's throne? It's too child's play! Fan Zhongyan looked incredulous.

"I said yes! First, Chaumei is pregnant! The other two concubines had no children. This is something that the officials will definitely consider. Second, the official family has been pampering several beauties recently! This beauty is directly the queen, and it is not for nothing in all dynasties! All in all, it's an official thing! If you want to get involved, the officials will lose their own judgment, and they will be angry with your lords! ”

Fan Zhongyan heard this, nodded, and hurriedly asked, "Then Bao Qing, how do you think this matter should be remedied?" ”

"Push someone back to be the queen! Since they can elect a beauty to be the queen, let's be more thorough, you choose a major minister from outside the palace or the daughter of a general in the border to be the queen, the specific candidate, you decide! Be virtuous and wise! When Lu Yijian elected the queen, he would definitely say that the queen's previous identity was not a problem, we just had to fight a little, and then take advantage of the situation to launch our candidates. ”

"What if the official family has to let Shang Meiren be the queen?" Fan Zhongyan was a little worried.

"I have to rush back to Luzhou to take up my post in ten days at the latest. Before leaving, I was eighty percent sure of persuading the officials to dispel the idea of letting Shang Meiren be the queen. That's what I can do in the end! Bao Qing said with some emotion.

Fan Zhongyan heard some melancholy and some dissatisfaction in Bao Qing's words, and felt very guilty in his heart. Fan Zhongyan straightened his robe and bowed deeply to Bao Qing very solemnly. When he looked up, he saw a white horse chirping, and it was gone.

Ouyang Xiu and the others waited from afar, and suddenly saw Fan Zhongyan bowing deeply to Bao Qing, and they were all very surprised. can get such a big gift from Fan Gong, but the dynasty really couldn't find it.

Fan Zhongyan transferred Bao Qing's words to these ministers who saw them off, and he gave them a lot of advice and explanations, and then he reluctantly embarked on the journey away.

After Bao Qing went back, he was busy opening a teahouse.

"Brother Bao, we rented four big shops in a row, opened them together, and carried out some renovations. Also, these days, we are also stepping up to fry tea, and now we have a lot of stock. When will it open? Bao Liuwen asked.

"Wait, if you open in a hurry, once you don't have any popularity, it will be more than worth the loss. Xiaowen, you take the tea made in small bottles to this tea shop to sell on behalf of you, choose a few big shops, and put ten bottles in each one. ”

"Oh!"

After Bao Qing gave the order, he asked for dozens of bottles of tea from Dong Yanran.

"Next time, this bottle will be engraved with the name of our teahouse and the name of the tea leaves!" Bao Qing said.

"Haha, yes! So what are we called? Bao Liuwen asked excitedly.

"Let's call it Bao Teahouse, this tea is called General Tea!" Bao Qing thought of going to Cao's Mansion to deliver tea.

Following.

"Big cow, go, accompany me to give gifts!" Bao Qing said.

"Gift-giving?" Zhu Daniu was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Okay, Brother Bao!" ”

When it comes to giving gifts, it is actually to sell tea, and each family tastes a bottle. This is not an ordinary person, except for some close friends, they are all powerful and high-ranking officials.

Most of the important ministers in the court lived on the edge of this imperial city, and Bao Qing ran next to each other.

"Brother Bao, dozens of bottles have been delivered! Also sent? That Wang Juzheng just now was really not a thing, he actually threw out our tea directly, and said that we blatantly bribed and wanted to impeach Brother Bao! Zhu Daniu asked.

"And an important person!" Bao Qing replied.

Finally, Bao Qing and Zhu Daniu came to the door of a grand mansion, Zhu Daniu raised his head and looked, and the door of the mansion was impressively written: Prime Minister's Mansion!
