In terms of scheming, two Wu Peng tied together, but they can't compare to one Cai Xiao. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Hearing his words, Wu Peng's face immediately sank. Didn't he know how much of a threat Shangguan Xiu posed to his status, but he had no choice, Shangguan Xiu was not only capable, but also protected by His Majesty, how easy was it to bring down Shangguan Xiu?

He forced a smile on his face, and pretended to be nonchalant and said: "Lord Shangguan has a life-saving grace for me, and in the future, Lord Cai should not talk about such remarks in front of me." ”

If Shangguan Xiu hadn't captured Princess Jessica and hadn't exchanged Princess Jessica, Wu Peng would probably still be detained in Besa now, and it would not be too much to say that Shangguan Xiu had saved his life.

After speaking, Wu Peng ignored Cai Xiao and strode forward. Cai Xiao was not angry, but the corners of his mouth were hooked, and he laughed, he quickly caught up with Wu Peng, and asked, "Tell me about it, what is the biggest sin in the world?"

"The greatest sin: assassinating the monarch and plotting rebellion!"

"If these two sins happen to Shangguan Xiu at the same time, does the general think that his position as the prince of the country can still be kept?" Cai Xiao asked in a low voice, after speaking, he threw down the stunned Wu Peng, walked straight out of the palace, and when he got outside, he got into his carriage and deliberately stayed where he was, and did not return to the house immediately.

After a while, Wu Peng walked out of the palace quickly, he took three steps into two steps, and came to Cai Xiao's carriage, first looked left and right, and saw that there was no one nearby, so he asked in a low voice: "What did Lord Cai mean by what he said just now?" The latest chapter of héiyāпgê has been updated

"The old man has recently invited a group of beautiful singers and dancers, is the general interested in going to the old man's house to give a reward?" Cai Xiao asked with a smile.

Wu Peng's eyes rolled, and he said with a smile: "It's still Lord Cai who knows me best! ”

"Hey, what did the general say! Get in the car quickly!" Cai Xiao and Wu Peng walked together and went to Cai's mansion.

Cai Xiao and Wu Peng were muttering something sneakily, Shangguan Xiu didn't hear it, but he could see the scene of the two of them leaving in the same car.

Things gather by like, people by groups, Wu Peng and himself are not all the way after all. Shangguan Xiu shook his head, he was just about to get into the car, Qiu Yi walked over, arched his hand and said, "Lord Shangguan!"

"Lord Qiu!" Shangguan Xiu returned the salute.

Qiu Yi said with a smile: "The matter of Beijun, the old man has to thank Lord Shangguan!"

Shangguan Xiu didn't understand what he meant, and looked at Qiu Yi in puzzlement.

Qiu Yi said with a smile: "Last time, Lord Shangguan reminded the old man that he should buy a few more pieces of land in Beijun, and the old man did as Lord Shangguan wanted. At this, the smile on his face deepened.

Shangguan Xiu showed a look of sudden realization. Last time, Qiu Yi came to him to find out if the Wind Army had the intention of sending troops to Besa, and he asked Qiu Yi to buy land in Naxikya, which was tantamount to hinting to Qiu Yi that the Feng Army was indeed preparing to send troops to Besa.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Yi really bought land according to his literal meaning.

Of course, no matter who buys land in Beijun, it is undoubtedly a big profit, and it will change hands and make a profit of 20%. And who is Qiu Yi, one of the three giants of the imperial court, he bought land, it will definitely not be a small fight, tens of thousands of taels of silver are less, and the income of 20% is not a small amount.

He said with a smile: "Lord Qiu is polite, Lord Qiu can make a profit in Beijun, it is Lord Qiu's unique vision, what does it have to do with me?"

"Haha!" Qiu Yi laughed on his back and exclaimed: "The gentleman is kind without expecting anything in return, doing good deeds without taking credit, Lord Shangguan is open-minded, and the old man admires him! At the banquet just now, I saw that Lord Shangguan was not able to enjoy himself, I wonder if Lord Shangguan would like to go to the old man's mansion for a gathering?"

Shangguan Xiu can feel the significant change in Qiu Yi's attitude towards himself, and it seems that Cai Xiao, Song Sheng, and Qiu Yi are not monolithic. He pondered for a moment and said, "Why don't you go to Xiu's mansion and get together!"

"That's good, that's good, haha!" Qiu Yi laughed, and took the same car with Shangguan Xiu to the Zhenguo Mansion.

Shangguan Xiu was right, although Cai Xiao, Song Sheng, and Qiu Yi often advance and retreat together in the court, and their political views coincide, not that the three of them have a close relationship in private, but the interests of the three of them are the same.

They are the elders of the DPRK and China, representing the interests of the old ministers, Shangguan Xiu is a rising star, representing the interests of the new noble ministers, the conflict between the old and the new, inevitable, the rise of Shangguan Xiu, and undoubtedly directly threaten the status and interests of Cai, Song, and Qiu. At the beginning, it became natural for the three of them to join forces to suppress Shangguan Xiu.

But instead of weakening Shangguan Xiu, the more they suppressed, the stronger and more powerful he became, and the mood of the three gradually changed.

Cai Xiao and Song Sheng's thoughts are the same, that is, they are inseparable from Shangguan Xiu, either you die or I die, Qiu Yi is different, in his opinion, Shangguan Xiu's rise is irrepressible, and it is better to be friendly with him than to continue to blindly be an enemy with him.

The conflict between Shangguan Xiu and the Qiu family is not too big, the foundation of the Qiu family is Wufeng Grain Store, and there is no direct conflict with the industry of Shuratang, but the two sides still cooperate from time to time.

The Cai family and the Song family are different, the foundation of both families is silver, and they are fighting to the death with the Sitong silver account under Shuratang, and they can't be separated.

It can be said that Cai Xiao and Song Sheng have a fundamental conflict of interest with Shangguan Xiu, but Qiu Yi is not. This is also one of the main reasons why Qiu Yi is willing to make friends with Shangguan Xiu.

Zhenguo Mansion.

Shangguan Xiu and Qiu Yi went to the back garden and chatted while drinking. There were no outsiders around, and Qiu Yi became much more casual when he spoke. He held his wine glass and asked with a smile, "Brother Shangguan, do you know how much silver the old man earned in Beijun this time?"

He no longer called Lord Shangguan, but changed his name to Brother Shangguan, which was deliberately currying favor and bringing the relationship between them closer.

Shangguan Xiu knew it, but he didn't correct it, since Qiu Yi wanted to improve the relationship between the two, he was also happy to see it. Shangguan Xiu doesn't understand the art of political power, but he knows the art of war.

Divide and divide, divide and break.

He shook his head with a smile. Qiu Yi stretched out two fingers. "Twenty thousand taels?"

"Haha!" Qiu Yi laughed and said, "Two hundred thousand taels!"

Shangguan Xiu was also secretly surprised, he really didn't expect that Qiu Yi would buy so much land in Beijun.

Qiu Yi smiled slightly and said: "Until now, the old man still has a lot of land in his hands that has not been sold back to the county government, otherwise, the old man will earn more than 200,000 taels." Of course, this is also all thanks to the blessing of Shangguan's brother. ”

After a pause, he asked curiously: "The old man has made a lot of money this time, presumably, the old brother Shangguan has earned more, right?"

Shangguan Xiu took a sip of wine with a smile and said, "I'm in Beijun, and I haven't bought an inch of land!"

"Huh?" Qiu Yi's eyes widened in disbelief. The policy of Beijun was formulated by Shangguan Xiu, and the land in Beijun will appreciate by 20%, which is also decided by him, and he has such an opportunity to make money, he doesn't know how to use it?

Shangguan Xiu glanced at Qiu Yi, and smiled secretly in his heart, he is a soldier, and the wealth of a soldier comes from killing the enemy in battle, plundering on the battlefield, and making a windfall from speculation in China, he disdains it.

I think so in my heart, but I can't say that. He said slowly: "In this national war, our army has plundered enough booty, and there is no need to profit from Beijun. ”

Qiu Yi nodded in understanding. The Zhenjun army fought from the border to Goro, destroying countless towns along the way, and before the town was destroyed, which one had not been looted by the Zhenjun army, the silver plundered by the Zhenjun army was millions, tens of millions, and the 200,000 taels of silver he earned were really a drop in the bucket for the Zhenjun army.

The Sitong Silver Horn under the Shura Tang is rich and wealthy, and it often spends a lot of money to maliciously run on the Cai family's Baofeng Money Village and the Song family's Kaiyuan Silver Horn, where did the Sitong Silver Horn come from? Isn't it just by relying on the external plundering of the Zhenjun Army? As far as Shangguan Xiu is concerned, he really can't look down on the small amount of money from the difference in the land price of Beijun.

He smiled: "Brother Shangguan eats meat, and the old man can drink broth with his brother, which is also good." ”

There are still many channels for you to drink broth, such as Ningnan.

Thinking of the collusion between Qiu Yi and Ningnan, Shangguan Xiu felt a burst of disgust in his heart, and he said slowly: "If the Qiu family has dealings with the people of Ningnan in business, I hope that Lord Qiu can cut it off as soon as possible, otherwise, it will be too late to burn yourself and regret it." ”

Qiu Yi was stunned, and soon understood what Shangguan Xiu meant, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, Brother Shangguan reminded me very much, and the old man will pay attention to it in the future." After a pause, he asked curiously, "Is my country ready to fight the third national war with Ningnan?"

Shangguan Xiu said with a smile: "There has never been an armistice agreement between our country and Ningnan, which means that the two countries have been in the war stage, so how can we say that the third national war comes from?"

On the topic of Ningnan, Qiu Yi didn't want to say more, he pondered thoughtfully for a while, then changed his words and said: "Brother Shangguan is now the secretary of the Lingwu Academy, and he can't ignore the Lingwu Academy, otherwise, I'm afraid I will be dragged down by it." ”

"Oh, why did Lord Qiu say that?"

"As far as I know, within the Imperial Academy and the Lingwu Academy, there have been many secret groups recently, and they have bewitched the students, opposed the imperial court, and opposed His Majesty, but they have praised King Yu. If this state of affairs is allowed to continue to develop, I am afraid that it will lead to new turmoil. ”

In the past, when Shangguan Xiu was studying in the Imperial Academy, he had participated in this kind of secret society, and later the assassination of the emperor occurred, which was banned by the imperial court.

If this kind of anti-imperial secret society does not have the support of big people behind it, it will not be able to achieve much climate, and I am afraid that people with ulterior motives will take advantage of the students, and the students who are young and vigorous, full of enthusiasm and do not know the dangers of the world are the most easily deceived and taken advantage of.

Qiu Yi glanced at Shangguan Xiu and continued: "The students of the Imperial Academy have made a mess, naturally it has nothing to do with Brother Shangguan, and if the students of the Lingwu Academy cause trouble, Brother Shangguan will not escape the blame. ”
