Fan Xian smiled and said: "I heard that there was a rebellion in Beijing back then, and the Hou Ye took the risk of leaving the palace, and brought the Empress Dowager to write a letter to mobilize the Jinyi Guard, which Lord Shen belonged, so as to save the general trend. Since then, Lord Shen has been prosperous all the way, and he has always had a good relationship with Hou Ye, so I would like to ask Hou Ye to introduce him. ”

This is the only glorious thing in Changning Hou's life, Changning Hou was already drunk, his face was red at this time, he was even more drunk, and his face was self-contained, but no matter how stupid he was, he could also hear that things were a little strange, and he hiccuped, stared at Fan Xian with strange eyes and asked: "Little Fan, you are an envoy, go to see the commander of the Zhenfu Division...... It's a bit unruly. ”

Fan Xian said with a sad face: "Master Hou also knows that the mission is in a foreign country, and there are always many places where it is inconvenient. He lowered his voice and said: "Actually, I don't hide it from the Hou Ye, the younger generation also offended a large number of Beijing officials in Kyoto, and even His Majesty Xià couldn't protect me, so I found the reason for this envoy and kicked the junior to Northern Qi." ”

The Marquis of Changning nodded again and again, even hiccuping, and his heart was full of kinship, last year, the Northern Qi Dynasty was defeated, and the magnates related to the Queen Mother were roasted on the stove, so the Marquis of Chang'an was demoted and returned home, and he, the brother of the Queen Mother, was kicked to the south to sign the agreement to lose power and humiliate the country...... Fan Xian offended a large number of civil officials in Nanqing, he was really a little shocked, the prime minister of the Southern Dynasty was removed, the Ministry of Rites was hanged, sixteen high-ranking officials were beheaded, and the case of Chūn was in a uproar, and even the officials of the Northern Qi court knew about it, so the Marquis of Changning believed that Fan Xian was telling the truth.

"But why do you want to see the envoy of the pacification department?" Changning Hou was a little embarrassed, and he really didn't know what this young official of the Southern Dynasty wanted to do.

"I want to get rich, I don't know if Master Hou wants to?"

Hearing the word fortune, Changning Hou suddenly became interested.

"Business. Fan Xian filled the wine glass for Hou Ye, at this time there was no one else around the banquet, only this old man and young two, his voice was extremely low, "Hou Ye should have the wind, at the latest the year after tomorrow, I will take over the southern inner library, and the business of the inner library, at least forty percent, is sent to the north, so I must have a good relationship with the Zhenfu Division, otherwise how to keep safe along the way?"

Changning Hou glanced at him, his heart was shocked, and he subconsciously shouted: "You want to smuggle!"

Fan Xian put his index finger to his lips, smiled, took a sip of wine and said, "Master Hou, look, can you do this business?"

The wine of the Marquis of Changning has woken up a lot, half of it is frightened, half of it is happy to wake up, what is it that Nanqing has been so prosperous in recent years? Isn't it the business left by the old Ye family? If it is said that the interests of the southern court can be turned into private interests, what kind of amount must it be?

However, the Marquis of Changning still couldn't believe it, could this young Southern Dynasty official in front of him really have such a big boldness! This marquis thought about it for a long time, and after thinking about it, if the other party wanted to smuggle, he really wanted to have a good relationship with the Zhenfu Division, and as for the drawbacks, there was no harm at all!

Anyway, the other party is greedy for the money in Nanqing's inner treasury, and our Daqi court has no loss at all! If it is smuggled, the price of those goods will come down in the future, and a lot of money will be saved in the palace.

Changning Hou took a vicious sip of wine and said, "Cheng! I arranged for you to meet Lao Shen, but it was ......."

"But what?"

"Fan Xian, I must make it clear that I must get the consent of the palace in this matter. ”

"No!" Fan Xian said categorically: "I've said enough today, it was originally just a business for you and me to make a fortune, if the Hou Ye played like this, wouldn't it be that I tied my head to the belt of your Northern Qi Imperial Court?"

Changninghou knew that what the other party said was reasonable, but he still smiled bitterly and said: "I really don't dare to bear such a big thing." ”

"Then Hou Ye think about it again. Fan Xian said coldly, "But this matter involves my net worth, and Hou Ye's mouth needs to be tighter." ”

Fan Xian's eyes suddenly flashed with a trace of vicious gods, and this gods fell into the eyes of Changning Hou, Hou Ye was naturally not afraid at all, but sneered and thought, you are a dignified minister, you actually want to play these yīn domain tricks, where is this the opponent of the Zhenfu Division. At this time, the Marquis of Changning may have been shocked by the huge amount of money brought by the word smuggling, and he forgot Fan Xian's true identity, which was very similar to that Zhenfu Division.

Fan Xian looked at the other party, knowing that he had almost finished the bait today, he smiled and changed the topic, and said the conflict between the gate of the mission and the Marquis of Chang'an Mansion today, and asked the Marquis of Changning to help mediate it.

At this time, the Marquis of Changning was thinking about arranging for Fan Xian to meet with Commander Shen, and thinking about how to enter the palace to persuade the Queen Mother to do this business that has all the benefits and no harm. ”

―――――――――――――――――――――――― was not full of wine and food, and the affection was not strong, Fan Zheng resigned from the Hou Mansion, got into the carriage, and prepared to return to the mission. At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves in front of him, and stopped beside the carriage.

Fan Xian lifted the curtain to look, and found that it was indeed the eldest son of the Hou family of Changning, and Wei Hua, the young secretary of Honglu Temple, rushed back, and couldn't help but show a smile on his lips - today he gave a gift to the Hou Mansion of Changning, and the four goals to be achieved seemed to be achieved.

"Master Fan, what exactly do you want to do?" Wei Hua gritted his teeth, lowered his voice, and said to Fan Xian by the car window.

Fan Xian burped, and the sour smell made Wei Hua quickly cover his nose. He smiled and chased the air with his palm to his lips, and explained: "Ling Zun and I are drinking friends in previous years, and since we have come to Shangjing today, of course we have to come to visit." ”

Wei Hua was angry and angry, and said: "You are an envoy of a country, your words and deeds are all attention-grabbing, if you really want to visit relatives and friends, you must also arrange it by my Honglu Temple after the state affairs are over, or ask the palace for instructions through the Ministry of Rites." If your sudden visit falls into the eyes of the courtiers, how can my father explain it to the palace?"

Fan Xian said with a smile: "Master Hou is a free and easy person, he doesn't care about this. The demeanor of Lord Shaoqing and Ling Zun is much worse. ”

Wei Huaqiang pressed down the stuffy air in his chest, and swallowed his anger and said: "My father is a good wine, and everyone knows it...... What exactly do you want to do, Master Fan?"

Fan Xian's eyes were gone, and he looked at Wei Hua calmly, the indifference in his eyes made Wei Hua feel a little uncomfortable, and he only heard him say softly: "What do I want to do?" I want to introduce a business to Ling Zun. ”

Wei Hua didn't know what he meant, but he intuitively felt that this matter must be extremely dangerous, so he put his hand on the window lattice of the carriage of the mission, frowned, and said, "Master Fan, if you have something to say, please speak directly." ”

"I'm looking for you today, and you're hiding. Fan Xian looked at him with a smile, "I want to find the deputy envoy, but he is not in the Ministry of Rites, I want to ask, who should I find?"

Wei Hua replied with some embarrassment: "Isn't it true that the envoys of your country are negotiating with the Ministry of Rites to handle the matter?"

"The demarcation of the border is taking place, and the exchange of prisoners is also being done. Fan Xian looked into his eyes and said coldly: "But what do I have to do, you should know very well as the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, don't think about delaying anymore, within tomorrow, I must see people." ”

Wei Hua stiffened his neck and said: "The procedures are cumbersome, how can that adult be able to see him for a while?"

"Nacheng, I'll continue to see Ling Zun tomorrow. Fan Xian laughed angrily, "Drink wine, talk about your heart, and then discuss business, so life can be regarded as happy." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the carriage set up, and under the escort of the Northern Qi army, it drove very happily towards the garrison.

Wei Hua threw the horsewhip to the family in annoyance, and walked all the way to the mansion, asking all the way when Fan Xian came today and what he had done.

Entering the flower hall, seeing that the Marquis of Changning was still drinking a little wine there, Wei Hua was angry, but he suppressed his feelings and saluted respectfully.

Seeing that his most promising son came back, Changning Hou smiled inarticulate and beckoned: "Come on, come on, there is a guest at home today, it is the Fan Xian I often mention, hey, this kid actually made two jars of the treasured spirits on Silk Street." ”

Wei Hua finally couldn't help it, sighed and persuaded: "Father, after all, the other party is an envoy of the enemy country, and now I don't know how many people in the court are looking at our Changning and Chang'an families, can you ......?"

Before he finished speaking, Changning Hou was already howling: "What's the matter? I'm the queen mother's own brother, can't I be a guest at home!"

"That's not an ordinary guest, that's Qingguo's envoy!" Wei Hua's voice also became louder, "Just because our family is different from other families, even for the sake of my aunt's face, you shouldn't let Fan Xian enter this door today." ”

For some reason, as soon as Wei Hua became fierce, Changning Hou softened, holding the wine glass, his face was miserable, and his tone was full of crying: "What kind of shameless, your aunt has had no face since the day she entered the palace, and my father has no face! Who am I? I am a student of Zhuang Mohan! But in the eyes of others, what am I? Look at the ministers of the court who have been in Beijing for so many years, and which minister of the court is willing to come to see me? Those who come to visit me are those faceless and skinless things, and I am tired of looking at them. ”
