"Sir, the time has come. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info "bo

At this time, it was just dawn, and the outside of the bright hall was so dark that there were no fingers visible, and a servant who had stayed up all night without sleep bowed and whispered to Li Bangyan, who was dozing in the hall.

Li Bangyan's face was dark, and he snorted, but his eyes hadn't opened yet. The hand on the handle of the chair flicked, and the shriveled lips trembled slightly, and then said, "What time is it?" ”

"It's three o'clock."

Li Bangyan opened his eyes tiredly, his eyes were bloodshot, the night was too long, making Li Bangyan both a little impatient and a little scared. He muttered, "It's three o'clock, it's time." He sighed, and then said, "Is Mr. Zhou awake?" ”

"It's already waiting."

Li Bangyan raised his hand and said, "Please let him in." ”

It was the shopkeeper in the inn who came in before, and at this time he removed the round-necked staff shirt and replaced it with a pair of scarves and Confucian shirts, which made him a little less philistine and a little more elegant. Mr. Zhou greeted Li Bangyan with a smile, and Li Bangyan pressed his hand at him and said, "Sit, Mr. is not polite." ”

Mr. Zhou leaned over and sat down and asked, "Didn't you sleep all night?" ”

Li Bangyan's lips trembled, and he said, "The net worth and life of the whole family are at stake, how can the old man sleep?" He told people to make a pot of tea, and then laughed self-deprecatingly: "It is said that the old man is a prodigal son, but the prodigal son also has a serious time, the current situation, the old man really can't see through, the more he looks at it, the more confused he becomes, Mr. Zhou has been in the house for seven years, and the old man is fortunate to give Mr. Lai often instructs, but today, Mr. Zhou really can't give the old man a truth?" What is the bad luck today? ”

This week, Mr. Zhou smiled calmly and sighed: "How can adults not know in their own hearts, why should they ask students?" He was silent for a while, put his hand on his lap, and said: "The student has two questions, one is that the king of Pingxi is extremely cunning, and he can know his scheming by stabbing Zheng Guogong, and killing Zheng Guogong In the eyes of the world, everyone thinks that he is just venting his own personal anger, who knows that the whole world is played by him between applause. Such a person, do adults think that he will only stop the prince's car for no reason and cause public anger in the world? ”

"Second, Guojiazhuang has recruited so many people, and the news is so big, why does King Pingxi dare to be so blatant? You must know that raising private soldiers in my Great Song Dynasty is not much different from rebellion, and if he does this, isn't he afraid that someone will take the opportunity to catch his sore spot? ”

Li Bangyan sighed and said, "The old man is also worried about this. I didn't think about it so far-reaching beforehand, but the more I felt later, it was not simple. ”

Mr. Zhou sighed and said sympathetically: "Why don't you persuade the prince, please ask the East Palace to be patient for the time being, and find another good plan?" Li Bangyan was silent for a moment, his tone became unkind, he got up from the chair, paced back and forth in the hall with his hands, and said angrily: "The arrow is on the string, how can you not send it?" Besides, Cheng Jiang, the secretary of the ministry, always thought that the old man wanted to rob him of his merits, and wanted to invite the prince to favor, and always beware of the old man, if the old man tried to persuade him, Cheng Jiang would definitely veto who would you listen to as the prince? ”

Mr. Zhou said: "Cheng Jiang and the prince have always been good friends, although the lord is under the door, I am afraid that the East Palace is just relying on the authority of the adult." ”

Li Bangyan said excitedly: "That's exactly the case, so these words can't be said, and it is inevitable that there will be a dispute with that Cheng Jiang again, and the prince will be blamed for nothing." ”

Mr. Zhou said sympathetically: "What the adults said is true, but haven't the adults ever thought about retreating bravely from the rapids?" ”

Li Bangyan stopped uneasily, looked at Mr. Zhou with a faint gaze, was silent for a moment, shook his head and said: "No, there are some tools that the old man can't put down, from simple to luxurious, from luxury to simple difficult, how can the old man's lifelong hard work be handed over to others?" Mr. Zhou, is there really no other style? ”

Mr. Zhou was silent for a moment, and said, "Then the adults will immediately place the back road." ”

Li Bangyan sighed and said, "The back road is ready, someone in Quanzhou has delivered a message to the old man." ”

Mr. Zhou did not move, and seemed unexpected.

Li Bangyan said: "Who are you talking about? ”

Mr. Zhou shook his head.

Li Bangyan sighed and said, "Cai You, the eldest son of the Cai family." ”

Mr. Zhou said: "He's still alive? ”

The relationship between the Cai family father and son and Wang Sheath and Li Bangyan is very complicated, the Cai family father and son have a bad relationship, and Wang Sheath is the head of the Cai family, Li Bangyan and Wang Sheath have never been harmonious, but Cai You and Li Bangyan have a great relationship, Cai You is sleek, Li Bangyan is known as the prodigal son, the two have similar personalities, and have a common enemy, so the private city brothers are commensurate, plus when the Huaizhou businessman passed the three sides, he wanted to buy the joints of the three sides, and Li Bangyan and Cai You greeted each other, so when Cai You was in Xihe, gave Li Bangyan a lot of convenience.

Mr. Zhou couldn't have imagined that Cai You was still alive, and even dared to contact Li Bangyan.

Li Bangyan didn't know what was wrong today, he actually put his heart into Mr. Zhou, and said lightly: "Although Cai You is swimming in shallow water, he is also a figure that should not be underestimated, and now he has become a Dayue person, it is said that he has a certain status in Dayue, he brought countless treasures to the sea, and also did a lot of business in Quanzhou as a Dayue businessman." ”

Li Bangyan found a place to sit down casually, and continued: "Have you heard of the newly emerging Xingyue Commercial Bank? ”

Mr. Zhou couldn't help but say: "Is he the master behind this scene?" ”

Li Bangyan led the leader and said: "Exactly, this trading house has 200 ships, and the sailors hired are actually Dayue people, as well as three shipyards, one of which even received a sailor's order.

Do you know what he is up to? ”

Mr. Zhou said: "Could it be Quanzhou? ”

Li Bangyan said lightly: "That's right. With just one Cai You. It will never be possible to build such a great family business. Behind Cai You, there is also Li Gongyun, the king of the Great Yue Kingdom. This Li Gongyun is a majestic lord, ten years ago he led the army to defeat Dali, expanded to the north and northwest, annexed a large area of land, and even married Jia Chenggui, the leader of the Jiatong clan of my Great Song Dynasty, and had the potential to take my Great Song Dynasty and Qin Erzhou. Will such a person be willing to cut out the land and be driven by Shen Ao? ”

Mr. Zhou said: "I heard that this person was originally a courtier of the Yue Kingdom, and later usurped the throne, and he can be regarded as the founder of a generation, and he is extremely cunning and ambitious, so he naturally refuses to be driven by others." Students also heard of his deeds when they traveled on Guangnan Road, he ascended the throne not long ago, and repeatedly conquered, not only did Dali dare not be its edge, but even the surrounding countries also repeatedly ceded land and sued for peace. ”

Li Bangyan sighed and said: "No matter what, this Li Gongyun is still a foreigner, and it can't be a big deal, but with Cai You, it's not compatible, there is no shortage of male soldiers in Dayue, but to take Quanzhou, only the lack of sailors, and it is precisely because of this that Cai You is in Dayue, and he is full of Li Gongyun's weight." Li Bangyan was silent for a moment, and then said: "The old man plans to let his family go to Quanzhou today, if there is a change, they can immediately cross the sea to find Cai You, and do not ask him to be prominent, just to be able to survive and have no regrets." ”

Mr. Zhou's eyes flashed with a hint of understanding, and he said, "Isn't the adult just letting the students escort them along the way?" Li Bangyan said so many things for no reason, although it was more than catharsis, he smiled faintly and said, "The old man begged Mr. ”

Mr. Zhou did not hesitate and said, "The student dares to disobey his fate. ”

Li Bangyan said: "Even if you go to Toucheng, you must always send some meeting gifts." Li Bangyan said: "The Li family has a little floating wealth, please take it with you." He stood up, flashed resoluteness, and said, "Now, the old man can go and give up with peace of mind." ”

Mr. Zhou stood up and said, "My lord, cherish it. ”

Li Bangyan walked out of the hall quickly, hidden in the darkness, under the sky when he couldn't see his five fingers, he suddenly lit up two lanterns to illuminate Li Bangyan's feet, Li Bangyan first went to the bedroom to change into court clothes, and then walked out of the house in high spirits, sat in a soft sedan chair, took a deep look at the bronzing plaque of the Li Mansion on the house, put down the sedan curtain and said lightly: "Enter the palace!" ”

…………………………………………………………”…………………………………………………………………………………

Zhao Huan's carriage had already been untied, the carriage was rolling in the empty street with a muffled sound, and there were more than a dozen guards on both sides riding horses and guarding in parallel, not only Zhao Huan but also Cheng Jiang sitting in the carriage.

The carriage was very wide, with a cashmere blanket underneath, the four walls were covered with thick cowhide, and a small palace gauze lamp was hung against the curtain, Zhao Huan leaned on the comfortable cushion, his eyes were closed, and Cheng Jiang fell into silence.

Cheng Jiang seemed to be much more restrained, he sat in the position by the curtain of the car, his head was almost pushed against the palace gauze lamp, he had to hunch his waist, try to give Zhao Huan more space, and sat on a small stool, and the whole person also fluctuated with the slight shaking of the carriage.

I don't know when, Zhao Huan finally broke the silence, he said lightly: "Are you ready?" ”

Cheng Jiang said: "Your Highness is at ease, but I don't know how prepared His Majesty Li is." ”

Zhao Huan said a little anxiously: "His Majesty Li didn't contact the palace last night, will there be any variables?" ”

Cheng Jiang comforted Zhao Huan and said: "Your Highness doesn't need to be anxious, according to the lower officials, although His Majesty Li is not very reliable, he is still reliable." ”

Zhao Huan heard Cheng Jiang's words and said, "Li Men is not very reliable? ”

Cheng Jiang smiled faintly: "He was just forced too tightly by the King of Pingxi, and had to find a backer, and he relied on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to seek care in a hurry. ”

Zhao Huan bowed his head thoughtfully, and said: "What you said is not wrong, but at the moment, Li Bangyan has to rely on the palace, and the palace will also use him.

The carriage fell silent again, Zhao Huan held a stove in his hand, and said after a long time: "The more this time, the more panicked the palace becomes, Lord Cheng, tell me, how much control do we have?" ”

Cheng Jiang said confidently: "At least eighty percent, as long as you can force Your Majesty not to come to the stage, and the evidence is conclusive, in front of the people of the world, King Pingxi can't turn over." He glanced at Zhao Huan and continued: "His Royal Highness is the prince, what is there to fear?" What King Pingxi relies on is only His Majesty's power, and if even His Majesty can't protect him, why does His Highness need to be afraid of a toothless tiger. ”

Zhao Huan said: "Yes, yes, you are right, this palace is not afraid, not afraid of ......"

When the carriage stopped at a street corner, Cheng Jiang bowed and waved to Zhao Huan, and said, "Your Highness, the lower officials will leave for the time being, and see you when you arrive at the Martial Arts Palace." He came from the car, in an alley on the corner of the street, a sedan chair had been waiting for a long time, Cheng Jiang walked over, the carriage behind him continued to move, Cheng Jiang sat in the sedan chair, and said in a low voice in the sedan chair: "Wait a little longer, wait for His Highness's car to drive far away and then untie the cable." ”
